We present our readers with the following tabular view of the grand military achievements of our armies in Mexico, since the first breaking out of hostilities, down to the triumphant entry of our victorious troops into the city of Mex- ico.

The only resemblance to be traced with any other great campaigns, is, we think, with the celebrated campaign of Napoleon in Italy, when, with his new levied treops, he de- feated the veteran Wurmser, and crushed the power of Austria. That was the most brilliant of all Napoleon’s campaigns; and the progress of our arms in Mexico is similar. All our troops were fresh, newly levied, had never be- fore been in actual battle, and they fought and conquered men whose lives had been spent in constant warfare and revolutionary engage- ments. What an astounding spectacle is here present- ed! No less than twenty-five pitched battles fought against an enemy generally four or five times our number, together with strong places and fortresses, and cities, taken by storm in the teeth of superior numbers, both of men and can- non! The table, as at present laid before our readers, is, ex necessitate rei, not yet complete, in- asmuch as the numbers of killed and wounded, the numbers engaged on both sides, together with other particulars, can only be ascertained from the official accounts, which to the present time have not yet reached our government, in respect to a | these engagements. Let us hope that Mexico has at last, by her vanity and temerity, suffered so much adversity and trouble, as not to render it necessary to con- tinue any longer the horror and ravages of war. ‘We fear not, however. We fear that she will not rest until she provokes the great eagle to come down upon her and swallow her up. Bei bo; if she will have it so, it must be so. How shall our city demonstrate, in the best ann Most brilliant way, their sense of the merits and ach:*¥°ments of our brave troops? We had a grand illm?ination on account of the splendid victories on the @i0 Grande; but here are victo- ries to be celebrated exceeding in hard fighting, and in their glorious resuifs to our arms, all that has ever preceded in Ameriean history. Let us, then, have another illumination, surpassing the former in extent and splendor, as the victo- ries to be celebrated are surpassingly brilliant and magnificent. Operatic Music 1n America. — Although we have heretofore had the opera, both Italian and English, presented in New York, as well as other cities of the Union, yet the present must be looked upon as a new era in the history of the musical art in this part of the world. We have heretofore evinced a disposition to patronize musical performers, both instrumental and vocal, and quite a number of artists have returned to urope after a professional tour through the States, with their finances greatly improved; but it was not, until last year, found advisable or safe for any management to make large invest- ments, dependiog upon the patronage of the lovers of music for a return of their funds. The enterprise of Messrs. Sanquirico and Patti, in bringing out a series of sterling operatic pieces at Palmo’s, last winter, had the effect to show that we were ready to receive and reward the efforts of good artists, and that the opera, properly established, would, at any rate, during the fashionable season, receive a liberal patron- age. Villarino came with his Havana company, and was received at the Park as the favorite Tedesco, and her companions in art, deserved. They were greeted with crowded houses, and their labors were discriminatingly appreciated. The conductor of the company’s business affairs was pleased, and determined to return to us again. At last, Madame Bishop arrived, and al- though her first engagement was at a season when theatrical performances are never too suc- cessful here; in fact, at a season when very many of our citizens {were at the various watering places of the country, yet her per- formances soon made for her a reputation, in spite of preconceived prejudices and hypercriti- cal notices at the hands of a censorious few, and brought out an army of admirers who were charmed with the sweetness of her voice and the purity of her style, and were willing to open their ears to the conviction that such perfect execution of the most difficult passages of music she entertained them with, are seldom listened to. But, as one figure in a painted groupe, be it never so well executed, requires that all the rest be, at any rate, tolerably well drawn and colored, in order to give the full value to the grand fea- ture, so it is requisite in the opera that all the parts be so well sustained that the de- fective may not mar the beauty of the ex- cellent by so near a proximity as to require the senses to entertain both at the same time. Madame Bishop’s discrimination at once perceived the difficulty under which she labored, in not being sufficiently well sustained; she, therefore, set about remedying the evil, and the requisite talent being at hand, she em- ployed it, and now appears before the public, pre- pared not only to please a miscellaneous au- dience, but to furnish such musical entertain- ments as have naught to fear from severe criti +80 long as honesty guides the pen of the tie, Those of the trowpe wha have already appeared, have met with the kindest encourage- ment, and have so acquitted themselves that the most favorable impressions remain upon the minds of their audiences; and we have no doubt that when we shall have heard fromthe members who are as yet held im reserve, we shall be able to write the same of them all. can succeed on the New York stage. of this assertion was lately proven here. ished performances. her little ones simple air: with i themselves masters of the melodious and har- monic art in that land of song; and the great among its members many young sons of Colum- bia, who will, no doubt, carry with them the “go ahead” principles of their companions at home. Every indication at present points to the result of great prospective musical culture, and consequent excellence in the art. This consum mation is certainly to be desired. Our “ Han- “academies of music,” are all orgunizations productive of the best results. Active in busi- ness, our young men are also earnest in the pursuit of pleasure; and if the hours of re- laxation be not filled up by rational amusement, they will be occupied in scenes which cannot but be injurious in their tendency, if, indeed, they do not lead to profligacy and debauchery. While the mind is filled with even the remembrance of sweet sounds and delightful harmonies, the grosser feelings must be held in abeyance. The concomitants of a visit to the concert room or opera house are especially calculated to exert happy influences; roystering and confusion are not at home there, but order and decorum are; while the suavity and elegance of manners which prevail are not the legs to be appreciated because an occasional case of coxcombry or assurance occurs. Allthinge considered, we hail the advent of musical taste as a blessing which is tobe che- rished ‘‘as one of the means of elevating society, of amending the temper of the mind and charming away the corroding cares of worldliness. These are sentiments that will doubtless find responee with the public, and we are glad that the coming winter promises to the citizens of New York an excellent opportunity of listening toa series of artistical performances of the very first character. We sincerely hope that both the artists and their patrons may be well rewarded for the parts which they respectively take. Tuanxscivinc Day 1n America.—The custom of setting apart one day in the year for tho eape- cial purpose of rendering thanks to Providence for a continuance of his favors, has descended to us from the Pilgrim fathers, and is peculiar to the United States. “Ours is the only country in which a special day of thanksgivingis annually set apart, and we hope the day is far distant when it will fall into disuse. For several years past an effort has been mak- ing by the press to have thanksgiving on the same day, in every State of the confederacy. Thus far, it has only been partially successful; but we see indications of a desire by the execu- tives of the several States to second the wishes of the press and the people on this matter this year. We perceive, that already nine States have set apart the same day, viz: the twenty-fifth of November, for that purpose. These States are: New York, Indiana, Massachusetts, Connecticut, Rhode Islana, New Hampshire, Maine, Missouri. Pennsylvania, And we hope before long to be able to give the names ofall, or the greater part, ofthe remaining States. What a pleasing arid gratifying spectacle it would be for a nation composed of thirty confe- derated and sovereign States, numbering twenty millions or more of people, bending the knee and singing songs of thankegiving for the mercies and bounties vouchsafed to them —to hear the song of praise resound from North to South, and East to West, one continuous hallelujah from innumerable voices, on one and the same day, in the greatest coun- try on the face of the globe! We hope we shall experience that pleasure; wnd to enable us to do so, we hope the exeeutives of the remaining States will appoint the twenty-fifth day of next month as their thanksgiving day. That day was first appointed, because it was on that day the British treops evacuated New York: ‘That of itself,was and isa cause of thanksgiving, and the event is worthy of being commemorated, as one in which the providence of God was manifestly displayed towards us.

It consists of tho tragedy of “ Virginius,” the burlesque drama of the “Lady of the Lions” and the co- medy of the “ Duel””—each of which has been played to @ benefit to-morrow evening—the pieces selected are, “ Captain Kyd,” “ Taming the Shrew,” and * The Ghost in Spite of Himself,” with a variety of other pleasingen- tortainments.

We have no doubt that he will be greeted bya full audience, as the concert he gave last "week gave such great satisfaction. To-night he will, sing some entirely new songs, set to music of his own composition. In this Mr. D. is very successful ; he is enabled apparently to adapt words which others have newer thought appro- priate for music, to the sweetest and most expressive tunes. Witness his adaptation of the “ Dying Child,” “May Queen,” &0, Tne words of these new songs ure composed by authors of eminence, such as Whittler, Eliza Cook, Longfellow, Thomas Hood, kc. The second part of his concert will consist of songs of Burns, with the songs of Scotland.

After the usual preliminary servic Rev.

Yetbe could not’ be satisfied, considering the agency he had in some portions ef the matter which had been brought before them, to remain eatirely silent—with- holdieg from the house the expression of some of the views which he entertaiged {m relation to the subject. It was not his purpose to enter fully into the discussion Neither the time of the house nor his own strength of voice would justify it. I+ would notice some of the prominent subjects which had been brought be fore them especially the two or three points in which be had had some personal sgency. The question now immediately before the house he un- derstood was upon the resolution on the two ca- nons offered by the gentleman from Pa.; t! ne giving, or purporting to give to the diocese of New York aud this convention, the privilege of applying to the House of Bishops for the restoration of the suspended bishop; the other vesting them as far as the power of this house could, with the powerto proceed without the coneur- rence of the bishops, to a new election. These resolu- tions proceeded, it would be seen, directly upon the as- sumption of the vacancy of the diocese, and could stand on no other foundation, Rightly,therefore, it appeared to him, mauy, indeed most of those gentlemen who had discursed the question, had construed it as involving the point, and the point only, av the essential characteristic of the canons, and on the question now before the house, geetad Mowsed over Gudoves again, Mis. Marsiuall takas,| 7 Teeter sa ciccees CCNER en manne cane ther it is now filled by suspended bishop. The answer lo that question was found in the solution of avother, viz: What is the effect of suspension upon the office of bishop? Had it removed the bishop from the offive, and made the dieoess vacant, so that the convention of the diocese might proceed to the election of another bishop? or had iv wuspended him from the exercise of the duties and powers of his offlce, but nevertheless left him thus suspended in the actual possession of the of- fice? Early in the controversy, he confessed bis mind came to the fu!l conclusion that the only legal nical effect of the sentence of suspension. did not destroy the tenure of the offlee, or vacate the diocese; and, more- over, that u sentence with no Hinitation of time, could not, uuder the canons of this churoh, be a valid sentence, Judge Jones then proceeded to give a narra- tive of the action of the standing committes of this di cese, under the state of things produced by the trial and sentence of the Bench of Bishops That committee, he represented, had dons its duty, situated as they and the diocese were, Would it be proper, they asked, to consult him on what was to be done? ‘They found a precedent in England, in the case of a suspended Fellow of one of the Uni it This contest was deoided,by the highest ecclesiastical authority, to be necessary to make valid an election, notwithstanding his suspension. The committee did apply to the diocesan, and 0 far as he could give assent, he did, with reference to the pro- visional supply of the diocese. This much for the vindi- cation of the Uiocess from the charge ot as uming too much power, Ifan errer, it wat au error of judgment. Whether wrong or not, it kept the church in the high- eat state of prosperity, and warded off impending evils. No idea wasever further from my mind, or the rest, that this diocese is vacant We acted on the exact converse of that idea, throughout. They believed, from tho best advice, that the sentence from its indefinitiveness, was invalid; and they sald so to the Convention, and that the Bishop was still the bishop. aaey never believed or thought the diocese va- cant, Had they, they would have made a very differ- ent application, and asked for the election of a bishop He was surprised, therefore, to hear a member say here, that the divcese, by the standing committee, had ad- mitted that it was vacant. Was the diocese vacant, or was it filled by the suspended bishop? The character and nature of suspension had been already enquired in- to. ‘Tho cauon, under which the eourt acted, prescribed the penalties—admonition, suspension and degradation. Admonition and degradation appear to be well defined and easily understood, and he must confess that suspen- sion had always seemed to bim to be as comprehensible It was temporary incapacity to exercise the functions of the office he held, till permitted. It was a middle de- gree of punishment; and it would be an abuse of terms to say that it was deposition, or could be. Suspension did not void jarisdiction, he argued. The second section proceeded on the assulmption that it did not void juris- diction—that the bishop did not vacate his office. Mr. Wistiams maue a brief explanation ; here- upon, Rev. Dr. Janvis repeated his recollections on the sub- ject. Mr. Huntixaron begged leave to make a statement from his personal knowledge of the subject. He was on the committee, and knew that the canon came to the dommittee as it was rent down from the house of bishops, and the opinion was expressed against it, on the ground that if the suspension voided jurisdiction it might ter- minate, and then they would have two bishops, which was contrary to the usages of their church Hv suid to | the convention at the time,that they could not erase the word unless they supplied the word “perpetual.”— ‘The remark was, that they would havetwo bishops in that case, This he stated not from recollection merely, but from notes which he took at the time. Rey. Mr. Hawks said that he concurred with the view of the gentleman from Connecticut, entirely. Mr Wiarton suid that as the learned and venerable gentleman from New York kad been so much interrupt- ed, he would move to postpone the order of the day till 1 o'clock, to allow the gentleman to conclude his remarks. ‘The question being taken, several voices were heard in the negutive; but the Chair decided that the postpone- ment was considered aa agread to by the house. Mr. Jones proceeded. How, he asked, could the court be understood to mean the same thing by suspen- sion and as by deposition, which they negatived by their vote? It seemed to him impossible that they could im- | pute to them that they inteuded by the vote of suspen- sion to designate that deposition which they bad re- fused by vote to pass upon the bishop, He quoted the canon, to prove that suspension was unlike deposition, because it was less onerous. A suspended bishop could be restored, aud a deposed bishop never. His only hope was in pardon—-an interposition of merey in favor of the culprit, not according to the usages of law, but of grace. In reference to the character of suspension, they could not change it, unless there existed in the sentence some reservation in favor of the bishop But, it was said that the diocese of New York bad expressed the opinion that the sentence did void jurisdiction. The gentleman re- ferred to this part of the report, as showing the power of ‘The report stated that there could be no election of another bishop, unless the diocese was vacant, In that opinion heconourred. Could it be inferred that the gentlemen who made the report, (of which he was one,) meant to express the opinion that The recommendation was, that there should be power given to elect a new bishop, It never did accord with his views, but he gave it his santion. But ral gen- rrore of neverthele: sion did remove the bishop, or presbyter, from his office. He had the honor, at the time this decision was made, to be one of the members of that court From’ his position, and the part he took in that affair, he thought that gentiemeh would admit that he had an opportuaity to understand the case The minister of the Dated church, the Rev Mr. Bradtord,thad indulged in vicious and criminal conduct, and had been suepend- ed by the classis of Albany. He was brought to trial unier the accusation, end was found guilty. He ap peuled from their decision, and that decision was con- firmed. He afterwards made an appeal to the General Synod, when the decision was again confirmed. It would be seen, then, that between the time of his firet accusa- tion and the time of final adjudication, there was au in- terval of several months, and it was for the recovery o1 bis salary during that interval, that a suit was brought in the Supreme Court. A majority of that Court gave their opinion in favor of the plaintiff, and it was on the appeal from that decision that the Court of Errors reversed the decision. The reversion was put upon the ground that it was an aotion of con. tract, They held that as this minister did not perform his service, he could not recover his salary. It was strongly urged, on the other side, that it was enough to show a readiness, or willingness, to perform the service ‘The court said no, ‘The duties of the office must be ac- tually performed by the person claiming @ salary. A majority of the court declaret that the minister and his congregation waa not dissolved This case, continued Mr Jones, was eo clear that if Bishop Onderdonk had boon acting with express agreement with the vestry, or 4 part of them, and be had stipulated in that covenan that he would perform a certain service, he was bound to do it before he could tvcover his salary. But he lemen would,with all these explanations bear in mind t he decision of # Court of Errore against th preme Court of the United States, a court which had since been abolished by the State of New | York. Mr. Evans said bo bad different impressions with re- gard to the oa As he had first introduced it, in th course of hig remarks on a previous day, he begged leave pression of it, He concurred with jeman, that it was an action ot covenant It was a covenant in these words, that the congrogation stipulated to pay him a given salary so ong as he continued the minister of the congrega‘ion ret necessarily presented the uestion for the decision of the court, whether the minister, 10 a state of syspen- ion, wae to be cousidered a minister within the mran- lug of the covenant He had receatly refreshed bis tarmory by reading the feots of the case, and if he were not miscaken, Che learned and honorable gentlemen who had just addressed the house’ and who was ¢ « Chancellor of the State of New York, delivered bis opi- mon in favor of the right of the covenant, Ei was in the minority of the court. He then oou- tended that though the minister of the Duter Ki formed Church wassuspeoded, he waa yet their mi He took the very ground then which he was now taking —that a ininiater, when suspended, was only interruptes in the exercises of hia office; that be was eUll the minis- ter. Amujority of the court was of a different opinion viz: that hia functions being suspended, he lost his cha- racter and office for the time being. One of the sen, ture argued that, being suspended, he could not stand ung the covenant, and demand payment of his salary, the hon, and learned g stances more vividly to the mind of the hon. gentiem tor whom he expressed the highest respect and con: deration. Mr. Jowes said the gentleman had correotly stated his own action on that occasion, He did hold that this co vennht did secure to the minister, during bis continu ance as minister of the congregation, the payment of his sulary, and that the connection between them did not cease till the dissolution took place. The court thougnt differently, and put the opinion enticely upon the ground that this was an action for the recovery of a salary, and that there was no conoection whatever between the mi- uister and bis congregation at the time. Mr. HvaNs asked ifthe gentleman would state whether the covenant did not stipulate that the congregation were to pay his salary, #o long as ontinued their mi: nister. ‘The covenant contained many recitals. Will the gentleman excuse me for asking if the covenant did not contain the stipulation tioned, in #0 many words? part of the covensat, sir; but there were 2 Ono senator sald that it was not requisite; nother senator expressed the opi nion that the sentence had all the effect ofa dissslution, from the time in which it was given. For himself, and he believed the law of New York would concur with him, he entirely differed in the latter opinion. Such a connection, in his opinion, could only be dissolved by death or by some competent court. So with Bishop ‘On- derdonk. ‘The only sentence of which they any knowledge was that of the Court of Bishops, which sat upon him in December, 1844, in this city. What was that sentence? It consisted of two parts. He quoted it. ‘This was the final judgment of the Court of Bishops. ‘The canon provided for cases of suspension and of depo- tition. The bishops knew it. They choose the sentence of suspension. How then could that sentence depose the bishop? It wass mere case of discipline. On the question of jurisdiction it must come parallel with the suspension. If the one was indefinite, the other would If the one was limited the other would be So long as the suspension continued in force, it must keep in suspense the whole powers of the bishop. But, said the gentleman, this is depriving the Christian world of the right of Episeopacy. Be it so.— ‘To whom were they to carry their complaint? If any where to the court. The sentence itself must be blamed. If the sentence had the legal effect which he had stated, the diocese must consent. Were they to legislate the suspended bishop out of office? It would be an unheard of procedure to attempt it. ‘The bisbop, then, was either in or out of the office. If in, they could not touch him. If out, the action of the house was re- quivite. A loud and imperative call had been mado by Ube diocese for relief. diocese was not in quite the condition he would like. But it was not in quite such a Juuguishiong, deplorable condition, as some gentleme» had urged, in order to force the house to action. They had provision to supply the diocese with Episco- pal services till the present exigency was termina- ted. The diocese of New York beionged to tl general convention. It had come under @ 38; tem which embraced in it all the dioceses in the United States, It had its rules and regulations, its oa- non law, and every diocese by coming into union with it, had given its assent to them. Now, these canons pro- vided for disciplinary cases. One of them prescribed the penalty of suspension. The diocese of New York had ample provision for the case, and the General Con- vention could not interfere with it All they had to ask was, what was the effect of it? It wae said the jurisdic- tion came from the diocese itself; if so, it must be solely br their act or privilege to clect a bishop? Was it so? Could this diocese of itself, if Bishop Ooderdonk was now then committing the grossest offynces, displace the bishop: Rev. Dr. Bunt here stated that the hour of one had arrived. (Cries of * Go on,” * go on.””) The Chair stated that the house had given its tacit consent to hear the gentleman through with his re- marks. Mr. Jones briefly concluded his remarks. The ca- nons were inapplicable, if the bishop filled the diocese as he himself belivved, (Loud ertes of * Question,” * Ques- tion.” ov, Dr. Jarvis here rose and said he desired to call upon the house for a few moments of re stillness, be- fore proceeding to take the final vote. They were about to decide a most important question. He therefore en- treated the house toremain for a few moments in entire stillness, that every member of the house might com- mune with his God. ‘After a few moments of profound silence, the house proceeded to the order of the day, which was to take the final yote on the resolution of the diocese of New York. ‘The canons pro by Hon. J. R. Ingersoll, of Penn: ia, being before the house, INGERSOLL suggested that the question be taken on the two canons separately. ‘The Secartary having read the first canon, anda division of the house being called‘for, the names of the alled — The result was as follows:— . el as lost by @ majority of two o. the and ofone on the part of the lait; ‘in| Divided “ So the first cano1 part of the clergy, ‘Lhe seoond canon was then auestion of its adoption, lost by thi rea the Ayes—Clergy Noes— “ Divided “ . uty Several messages from the House DE were here announced. Mr, Wiuw now rose and said he hada proposition to offer, in the shape of a canon, which he hoped would meet the views of the house. His proposition authorized adiocese whose bishop was under @ suspension without limit of time, to elect a bishop, who should be the assis- tant bishop in case of the restoration of the bishop, and his suocessor in case of death, &o Judge Cuamurns called the gentleman to order. Dr. Bunarss questioned the right of the gentleman to Introduce proposition of this kind at this late pe- riod. _.Mr. Wiuitams said he believed they had the privilege Of proposing sny amendments which had in view the im provement of the propositions ; and endeavored to pro- ceed with his remarks. Cries of “question,” and “order,” now came eo thick and loud, that the speaker's voice was suppreased amid the roar of uproarious voices.— After several unsuccessful attempts to go on, he resumed uis seat, and.the chair succeeded in restoring order, edd- ing the expression of the hope thet the good character which the house had thus far obtained for order, would not be depreciated by any conduct which did not com- port with the dignity of that body. Mr. Memmincer proposed to take up the canon from the house of bishops, and proceed to act upon it at the point at which they left it. Rev. Dr. Vinton was desirous to have some vote taken on the abstract proposition, whether the diocese was, or was not vacant! After some disorderly discussion, the second canon re- ported by the joint committee as amended and adopted by the Huse of Bishops was taken up. Rev. Dr. Hawxs moved an amendment in the form of @ proviso, in effect that, in case of a suspension where the time was not limited, mo power of remission should be exercised by the House of Bishops, unless with the SSocuns of the diocese to which sald bishop belonged. ‘After some debate the question was put, when the amendment was lost by the following vote:— iaaeclerey) 28 dioceses voting—ayes 13, noes 13, di- vided 2. * ‘ The laity, 24 dioceses voting—ayes 12, nays 10, di- vided 2. The question being then put on the adoption of the canon, it we 1d viva voce. The house then took the usual recess. EveninG Srssion ‘The convention re-assembled at 7 o'clock. ‘The second of the canons reported by the joint com- mittee wastaken vupand amended by the House of Bishops. The first two amendments passed by the body were concurredin, The next amendments, providing that on pronouncing a sentence of suspension, it shall be specified whether it be perpetual or not, and if not, at what time it shall cease, created some debate. The debate was pronounced out of order; but the Secretary eaid the amendments had been communicated te them from the House erie ince the resolution to close debate had been taken. believed it, therefore, in order to discuss the amendment. Judge CHamsens moved, in accordance with a prece- dent at the last meeting of the General Convention, that the house take the vote on all the amendments to the canous proposed by the House of Bishops at half-past 9 o'clock, to-night. Mr. McFartann had hoped that every ) ceptor pan would be voted upon at that time, but he did not see how it could be done. It might be very proper for some subjects to hasten through, but not proper for others. — He hoped that on all subjects of importance, members would. be allowed tu express their opinions freely. Judge CHamsens then modified motion so that unless the question on the proposed canon of the joint committee be taken earlier, it should be taken at haif- past nine o’clock. A division being necessary, the mo- tion was agreed to, 75 to 33 Rev. Dr Burcess was not in favor of the amendments Ho even entreated the house to pause before they passed the canon without the amendments, making uo provision for the House of Bishops to passsentence of indefinite suspension. Rev. Dr. Oaiiny thought the terms sufficiently expli- cit to allow the House of Bishops to pass sentence of in- definite suspen-ion. Rev Dr. Hexay Mason said that he had always enter- <ained the opinion that the bishops had a right to inflict in the church of God, such punishment as they might see fit. Ihe Episcopate was not as had sometimes been supposed, a thing belonging to any individual. He be- lieved that the authors on the canon law who had been quoted by the gentlemen would be found on careful in- spection to give the House of Bishops the power ef passing such sentence as they might see fit. He con- cluded then, that the House of Bishops hi divine right to examine any portion of the coparcenary of the Rpeoreey snd to inflict such penalty as they might ee fit Mr. Wittiams wished to make one suggestion to the house before they proceeded to vote, He wished the vishops to have the power to say that the suspension should be perpetual in order that the presbyters migut not be tied to him. The presbyter when be was ordsio- ed was just as much by divine right as the bishop. He did not want to take away that power to suspend, so that @ parish could not suspend a presbyter—whether a bishop should be limole to suspeasiva OF not Mr. GALLAGHER suggested that the gentleman might gain his objects by adupting the first amendment of the House of Bishops Rev.

The sneueenta of the House of Bishops were non-concur- red in. Mr. Witttams then moved to amend by adding the Proposition which he had proposed this morning [See above.] It was substantially the only relief which the committee of twenty in the diocese of New York said was the only practical-reliet which could be afforded to them The practical effect of the proposition from tho convention, so far as the episcopate was concerned, was to make the diocese of New York, already too large, still larger, by joining another divcese to the juris- dicton of a bishop on this to anoth.

He believed the m sures now befor @ house would have this effect Rev. Dr. Fo would offer a few remarks directly upon the proposition of the gentlemen from Virginia. It involved principles of the gravest importance to all— 80 grave that he wag not fully prepared to consider it. His objections to the proposition were these. The jeoeons to elect @ provisional bishop was contrary to all law. There was a bishop in the see of New York. The objection was fundamental. Again, the bishop might be continued in the diocese, on restoration of the primary bishop, as his assistant, even if he did not consent thereto. Again, he could not to the pro- position as a matter of sxpodionny. It would engender atrife between the two bishops There was no conceiv- able way of relieving the diocese except by terminating the sentence (Sensation ) Mr. McFaxxanp objected to the remarks; they would inevitably lead to a reply, which was not, under present circumstance: 8. Rev. Mr. Foraes briefly rejoined, when Rev. Mr. Vari conceived that the proposition of the entleman from Virginia was very much misunderstood. ie endeavored to make it plain. He thought the prin- ciple involved was not new, but was implied in one of the existing canons. Mr. MoFantasp made a few remarks explanatory of the vote which he should give. Half-past nine having now arrived, the vote on Mr. Williams’s amendment was taken, sud lost by the fol- lowing vote :— Clergy, whole number of dioceses voting, 18; ayes, 5; noes, 19; divided, 4.
