RELIGIOUS INTELLIGENCE. CONSECRATION OF BISHOP POTTER. Convocation of Protestant Episcopal Prelates.- Ceremonies of Consecration at Trinity Chureh. + Sermon by the Lord Bishop of Montreal, k&., ke &e. The Right Rev. the Provisional Bishop of the Diocess of New York, (Protestant Episcopal Churei:,) Horatio Potter, D.D., was conscerated at Trinity church yester- day, in the presence of » large number of bishops, pricats, and the laity. ‘The newly consvcrated Bishop was elected at the recent wession of the Episcopal Convention in this city, to fill ‘the vacancy caused by t! h of the Right Rev, Jona- than Mayhew Wainwright. ‘The new diocesan was edu- cated at the General Theological tant Episcopal Church, graduating with distinction. Sub sequently he occupied the chair of Mathematics and Natural Philosophy st ‘Irinity College, Hartford. This was in 1823. From tliat time to this—a period of twenty one years—he has been Hector of St. Peter's church, Al- bauy. His election to the Episcopate was followed by the resignation of his charge there, in time to be followed by achange of residence from Albany to the city of New York. Dr. Potter is the sixth bishop in order of this diocese. ‘The weather yorterday was foggy and rainy; never theless the chureh was crowded previous to the hour, (eleven o'clock, A. M.,) when the consecration services were announced to cominence, The body of the church was reserved for the clergy, the pupily of the General Theological Seminary, and the Iny members of the con vention At eleven o'clock a procession was formed in the ves try, sod entered the church in the following order:— 1, The students of the Theological Seminary. 2, Candidates for orders. 5. The clergy. 4. Tue bishops. When the procession had entered the church, the stu- dents tovk their places in the contre, the clergy in the centre, and the bishops within the chancel, The scene was 4 solemn and imposing one, rel Morning prayer was thed said.

Bishop Hor: follows:— Almighty God, who, by thy Son Jesus Christ, didst give tothy holy Apostles many excellent gilts, and didst charge them to feed thy flock, give grace, we beseech thee, to all bishops, the pastors of thy church, that they may diligently preach thy word, and duly administer the godly discipline thereof, and grant to the people that they may obediently follow the samo—that all may receive the crown of everlasting glory, through Josus Christ our Lord. Amen. The Rt. Rev. Bishop Lxx, of lowa, read the Epistle ag follows :—~ This is a true saying, If a man desire the office of a Dishop, he desireth # good work. A bishop then must be blameless, the husband of one wife, vigilant, sober, and of good behavior, given to hospitality, apt to teach; not given to wine, no striker, not greedy of filthy lucre, dnt patient, not a brawler, not covetous; one that ruleth well his own house, having his children in subjection with all gravity; (For if aman know not how to rule ais own house, how shall he take care of the Church ot God?) Not a novice, lest bemg lifted up with pride he fall into the condemnation of the devil. Moreover, he must have 8 good report of them which are without; lest he fall into reproach, and the snare of the devil.—l Tim. iil, 79 The Rt. Rev. Bishop La, of Iowa, read the Gospel 8 follows :— Jesus saith to Simon Peter, Simon, son of Jonas, lovest thou me more than these? He saith unto him, Yea, Lord; thou knowest tha: I love thee. He saith uato him, Feed my lambs. He saith (o hin again the secon time, Simon, Bon of Jonas, lovest thou mer Hi unto hin, Yea, Lord, thou knowest that [love thee. He saith unto him, Feed my sheep. He saith unto him the third time, Bimon, son of Jonas, lovest thou me? Peter waa grieved because he said unto him the third time, lovest thou me? And he said unto him, Lord, thou knowest all things; thou knowest that 1 love thee. Jesus saith unto him, Feed my sheep.—S¢. John xxi. 15, ‘The followlng consecration hymn was then sung by the choir :— ‘ather of mercies, bow thine Attentive to our earnest prayer; We plead for those who plead for thee, Successful pleaders may they be. How great their work, how vast their charge; Do thou their anxious souls enlarge; ‘Their best acquirements are our gaia, We share the blessings they obtain. Teach them to sow the precious seed, Teach them thy chosen flock to feed; Teach them immortal souls to gain, Souls that will well reward their pain. Let sinners break their massy chains, Distressed souls forget their pains; Let light through distant realms be spread, ‘And Bion rear her drooping head. “WAP ho Lord Bishop of Montreal, (Dr. Foxrorp,) then as- ended the pulpit and preached THR CONSECRATION SERMON. The Right Reverend prelate took his text from the seventeenth chapter of St. John, second verse:— Holy Father, keep through thine own name those whom thou hast given me, that they may be one as we are. These words form part of that solemn and earnest prayer which the Lord Jesus Christ offered up to the Almighty Fatber when he was just about to be betrayed inte the hands of his enemies. He knew the importance of prayer aa a means of obtaining good gifts from God. of Vernfont, read as He prayed as the prevailing intercessor; and he has | taught and commanded us to pray, also, in and through is name, He had previously prayed for one of his disciples in partieular:—“I have prayed for thee that thy feith fail not.’ And though Bimon Poter fell in the hour of his temptation, yet was ted? prayer effectual in that he was restored again, and afterwards witnessed a good confession. But on this oc- casion Christ’s prayer was not confined to an individual, but is offered up for all, in every age, that should believe in him, for those disciples then present with him, yet not for those only, but for them also “which shall believe in me, through their word, that they all may be one as thou, Father, art in me and I in thee; that they also may be ‘one in us, that the world may believe that thou hast sent » And shall not this prayer of Christ's be effect aal too? git Aisgolples, the members of his body, World for its sanctification through the spirit which was ven to them; they were to be the leaven which, by its ‘ding influence, was to leaven the whole lamp. But whilst be prays earnestly that they may be sanctified tnd kept from the evil of the world in which they were }o continue, he Bray’ also with repeated and strong sup that they may be knit together in unity—{o holiest bonds, even as is the unity of it with the Father—which unity would be a consequence of God's protecting grace being with them: “Keep through Shine own mame those whom thou hast given be one as weare.’’ Christ then prays 0 are to be in the world, that they mony be sanctified and kept from the evil, and, conse: be knit together in ong body ae & witne {ter this manner, then, it of Christ for the advancement of God's glory. ‘that his ip! ns 3 well as known unto God, forming His body, the church. “30 we,” as St. Paul ‘writes to the Romans, ‘being ‘many are one body in Christ, and every one members, another.” And it isof this body of Christ tha many glorious discriptions are pines in Soriptare, of which the faith of every true believer anticipates the full accompliaiment—albeit the time is not yet. ‘he existence of evil, and still more, its triumph in the * ‘world, have often been used by the infidel as his strong for unbelief in the Gospel.

It was always the first duty of the church, in every age andevery place, to contend for the truth, whether it were endangered by the Judasizing com) ‘ of Saint Veter, the heresies of Arius or the corrupt teachings of Rome, And if the consequence of our maintaining the truth in its purity should be that any portion of existing Christen , however large, refuse ‘to hold communion with us, “sin lieth at the door of them that speak not the simple truth as it isin Jesus. That is the first point to be guarded, and no morbid yearning after present universal outward limits must be allowed to be putin competition with the paramount duty of bearing testimony to the truth. “Sanctify them g truth in all its purity, which has counselled the Church of Rome, (which Church of Reme be it remembered has al- Jy long since ceased to maintain any visible unity with stern churches,) wae, I repeat, the great principle of the Reformation as proclaimed and acted upon by the Chureh of England. It set up no new body ; it retained its apostolic order and polity, but proclaimed the fullness of evengelical truth ; consituted then as the Angli- can church is, teaching what she te: she retains the itive polity and t unity with the he church, it is her duty and a ead of rivilege to labor for the advancement ofChrist’s kingdom, for which he bas taught ux ever to pray and to seek not merely by maintaining her own purity at home, but by imparting to otLers the true know edge and gifts which | she.enjoys, and as far as may be, promoting the unity of | the'body of Christ, not omly in spiritual relationship as | true members of Christ, but in that outward and visible unity which shall be a witness to the world,that the world | may believe that Christ is with her, If, while, there- fore, the body of Christ in its frat and richest intention | consists of the faithful of all ages who are knit together in one, through union with Christ, the head—those still in the Besh and those who have fought the good fight apd are already gathered to their rest—so also in 01 to the coinp of the number of the elect there is now a church millitant on eurth, of which we are severally | members, by virtue of our membership im au ouiward isible Communion into which we bave been bap v which we are partakers of the means of | grace: and this which, for distinction, [ will call the church of the reformation, bearing witness for the truth—protesting against the corruption of it—the Catholic chureh, in its fullest sense, in its primitive identity, not merely with any body of believers now in the flesh, but with the church of Christ in —knit together in one body, with a countless | multitude in wmity of faith and doctrine and polity, “con- tinuing steadfustiy in the Apostle’s doctrine | ship and in breaking of bread and in pray Church has a present existence, and claims to } be one body in every part of’ the world—pre- | sided over by upwaras of one hundred bishops, «i by upwards of twenty thousand ministers, and ishing within her fold millions of taithful children, | Without pronouncing upon the state or privileges of others, it is for us to be assured of our own. And who amongst us will doubt that the power of Christ’ prayer j in the text shall extend io us as living branches of his ; church, which are now bearing, and have borne, much | fruit—clouds of witnesses for the truth. ‘Holy Father, through thine own name those whom thou hast given me, that they may be one as we are.’’ But, if 60, must we not seek for the perfection of this oneness; | that it may both be a reality and be manifested, in order that it may bear wituess for Christ, that the world may believe that God has sent him, and it is as aconsequence | of this unity between several members of Christ's body, that as a chief pastor of a diocess in an imperial colony of British North America, I am here this day to take part in these solemn services for consecrating | chief paster for this most important diocess in your | greatrepublic. To the same ellect have been these in- terchanges of ministerial offices, and that common coun- sel on subjects of deep concern to the welfare of the church, which have so recently been cheering the hearts and strengthening the hands of the brethren on either side of the Atlantic, and forcibly reminding us of the great fact that we, ‘‘Leing many, arc ono body in Qhrist, and every one members of one another.” But however real may have been the advantages of such intercom. | munion, these have rather been the services of indi- viduals, or, at most, ot special societies formed within the church, than solemn acts of the great body corpo. rate itself, Must it, however, always be the unfuldited earning of earnest spirits that the day may come when he whole body of the reformed church shall meet to- gether in her corporate character, bearing witness for catholic truths, and testifying in some recognized and official manner, both for her own true catholicity and for the unity of her members in every quarter of the world? When combinations are ever being made to gi force to the promulgation of what we believe to be er- ror, are we not bound to unite for the maintenance of truth’ Is it not our positive duty, in order that the world may believe that God has sent Christ and that he is in’ the midst of us? Are we not bound to give the greatest force and publicity to our testimony? “Ye are the ie of the world. A city that is set on a hill cannot be hid. Neither do men light:a candle and put it under a bushel, but ona candlestick, and it giveth light to all that arein the house. Let your light so shine before men that they may see your good works, and glorify your Father which is in heaven.’ Itis true-that there are some different accidents affecting the position of the Church for good or for evil, in different locations whether in England, in Scotland, in British North America or this pire; in the East Indies, China, Australia, Aera or Africa, but they are such as do not affect the one ministry which serves in the Church, and the great catholic truths which are embodied in our creeds and articles of faith; and these very influences, under which the church is placed in different localities, the different relationship in which she stands to the civil authorities, the different state of 'y in regard to religious teaching, morals or civili- , that is brought to bear upon her in the various nations wherein she is publishing her message ‘and strength to the unvarying sameness of that faith which stie everywhere believes and contends for; and if at ang time the force of any passing crisis, internal rovo- lution of the State, or the irruption of foreign con- querors, the decay of learning or piety, or the overpower- ing influence of the master mind of some bold heresiarch, should, in any one place, cause the trumpet to give an uncertain or a false sound, a corrective power would be found in the united testimony of the collective body of the church; so that ‘‘in the mouths of two or three witnesses "’ every word shall be established. The im- potent of such united testimony, and its corrective in- uence, were well understood by Gregory the Great, an far back as the sixth century. ‘While as yet the claims of Papacy were undeveloped, that very Gregory, be it remembered, as simple Bishop of Kome, sent over Augustin on his mission to England. Condemning the idea of any one assuming the title of only or universal prelate, he writes to the Bishop of Antioch:— “This is » point of the last importanse; neither can we comply with the innovation without betraying religion and adulterating the faith of the Catholic Church. For, not to mention the invasion upon the honor of your char- acter, if any one Bishop must have the title of universal— if that universal prelate should happen to miscarry, the whole church must sink with him.” I allude now to the maintenance of great catholic verities. The internal regulation of each national church, and the administra- tion of ecclesiastical law and discipline, or the particu- lars and manner of ceremonial worship as they are not specially prescribed in the word of God, so they need not be everywhere exactly ake; as it is fully and plainly set forth in the thirty-fourth article. Having made allusion to Gregory’s judgment respecting the positive | sinfulnesa of and the evil consequences to be expected from the assumption of the title of universal bishop by any one individual prelate, I may notice that the bishops | of the Roman Chureh have lately issued pastoral letters } in obedience to the commands of the Pope, enjoining the | people to Pray unceasizgly that his Holiness may be illu- | minated by the light of the Holy Ghost, so as to enable him to decree as soon an possible concerning the concep- | tion of the holy ‘Mother of God, the immaculate Vir- in Mary, what may appertain to the greater glory of od and the praise of same virgin, the most loving Mother of all!’ And cardinals, bishops and ecclesiastics from all parte of the world are assembled at Rome ex- pecting to receive from the Pope his decisions on this very point of doctrine respecting the Virgin Mary. Let | us not be tess earnest, less united in the witness we bear to the “truth @ it is in Jesus.” Nor is it only against sueh corruptions of the truth, nor in that direc- tion that we have to watch and guard the faith. If wecan read aright the signs of passing events, if we will give heed to the warding voice of Scripture, there shall yet be rilous times before the coming of Christ, when he princes of this world shall wage a fearful war against the elect; when the love of mercy shall wax cold, when the ungodly and the careless, as it was in the days of Noe and of Lot, shall set at nanght the warning of God’s remembrances, and think only of the plenaures of this life, or follow society after the plea- sures of senae; when the name of Him that hung upon the cross shall be pamedonly to be derided, and the fu- ture judgment shall be Polaty denied. In ‘such seasons itis that the people of God, in every place, need to have their hearts cheered by mutual counsel and intercom- munion; then, when the wicked & mock at sin, and despise the crucified one; the a that fear the Lord must speak often to one another, the Lord will hearken and hear it.” Thon itis, when the highways of this world are fall of busy life—when human reason and knowl dge and science are triumphing in the achieve- ments of mighty deeds—when men are thinking of eating and drinking, buying apd selling, planting and building, as if time were everything, and eternity a dream; then it is for God’s honor—for the deliverance of our own souls, and for the salvation of such as shall be saved, we must publish aloud the “ ever- Insting Gospel,’ and say unto all men ‘Watch ye, and y always, that ye may be accounted worthy to escape all these things that shall come to pana, and to stand before the fon of Man.” Ax in a Gerce storm on the wide ocean, in the midst of the elemental | strife, when the winds rage horribly, the waves swell with fury, and the vessel strains and groans in every part, andthe crew run to and fro e in anxious duty—yet ever and anon above the noise and din that pains the aching ears, there sounds the clear firm voice of the chief giving commands that, being obeyed, will bring deliverance; so in the midet and above the world’s proud boasting, and opposing and bu- sied life, must still be heard like the clear full notes of the trumpet, the cry of the faithful with united voice, proclaiming the crucified love, and saying, “ Blessin and honor and glory and power de unto him that siiteth upon the throne, and unto the lamb forever and ever.”? And if there be much, (whether we think each of our own personal shortcomings, or of those troubles that try and vex the church,) to cause all of us to walk with fear and trembling—f, indeed, it veers to require the continual help of God’s promised grac us that “sufficient for the day is the evil thereof,’ | and to prevént us, when anticipating the things of | the morrow, from’ being cast down through too much carefulness. Yet, mae | we may find ground for hope and confidence, when we consider how God has mercifully kept his church hither and especially how He has led his people through the varied efruggles of the last three hundred years, and also what present signs of vigorons life are everywhere visible in iy action of the church—the common mother of us all. I might mention the continued safe keeping of that “ good thing which was committed’ to her h thy ath A ee is truth. To uphold the | by one and res] ib ili T allude to the srtant seins gmat ‘okt tsk re] presented at e session by the ouamaittoes appointed by the Upper House of Convocation in Engl |, and to the memorial prescnted to the House of Bishops at your last general convention, with the subsequent proceedings connected therewith. Time will not allow me, nor is the occa- sion to enter into any details respecting these matters, about which there may, at this early date, be well al- lowed to be many diflerecces of opinion. I will morel; observe, that velther we nor our fathers have witnease many more important movements in ecelesiastical af- | faire; and that there certainly is a manifest desire ia all | parties connected therein, (in which I am sure the great body of the faithful will heartily sympathize,) to ser oh upholding the ont FI gt vt the | catholic faith, and maintai in all their essential in- | tegrity the formularies and priuciples of the Reformed Chureh, so as to increase her efficiency and adapt bor machintry, and apply her teaching and minjstrations to the present condition and necessities of the people, as shall enable her most succeastully to fulfil the work of her ministry, and gather into her fold those for whom | Christ died. ' But who is sufficient for such a task? Who shall be the skillful workman “that need not be ashamed,’ to whom the church shall look for wise and prudent counsel, and vigorous action in such high and holy efforts? Let us have but faith in God’s pro- mises to b.s church, and plead them in ind to Him, | and we need not doubt but that in the time of need there | will always be raised up able and willing sons, both to do and to suffer for the honor of Christ and the main- | tenance of His truth: “As thy day is so shall thy atrength be.” There is the name of one ‘individual attached to the documents issued in connection with that memorial, who, with every necessary qualification of character, attainn ents, and official position, and evidently desir.ng | to see the efficiency of the church promoted, and lec, unity maintained in all her members, had zealously de- voted himself, with ethers of bis brethren, to the carry- ing forward this most important work, but whom it has pleased Almighty God to remove from this his scene of useful and active labors, where, to our finite sense, they secmed calculated to be most beneficial, if not necessary, to thechurch. It is not, however, on this occasion oul that we need to learn a lesson of submission to the will of God, and to receive the warning admonition of Uarist, “What ido thou knowest, not now, but thou shalt know hereafter,” Scarcely twoyenrs have even now elapsed since I was invited to be presentat the consecration of him whom, alas! we must already speak of as theJate Bishop ‘Wainwright; and now I am with you again for » similar purpose on the appointment of his successor. WelldoIre- member the grateful joy that was felt and acknowledged by all the members of your church at the elevation of Bishop Wainwright to the E,iscopate; it was atime of no common mercy to your long afilicted diocess. Nor were the hopes and expectations then so warmly enter- tained disappointed. rief as bas been the period of his official life, he crowded into it such an amount of active labor, and, I believe I may justly say, ao wisely aud af- fectionately applied himself to all matters of business, that whether as a preacher of the gospel or an overseer of the flock, his praise is in all the churches; and he hay earued a name wortby to live with that of the eminent prelates who have gone before him—with that of Seabury, first father of a transatlantic seed; with the apostolic White: with your own revered Hobart, and all those who have aided in the work of building up the church of God in this land. Nor is Bishop Wainwright's death felt and mourned for only by yourselves. Wherever he was known in England—and that was in. no narrow circle— there will be hearts ready to sympathize in all yourgrief; and for myself, independent of my previous acquaint. ance with him, he was ao very recently with meas ag im my own house, and taking part in solemn vervices in my own cathedral church, that I cannot but claim th right to feel the loss as that of a friend for whom I warm regard, a well as of a bishop, whose charac But if God, in his inscrutable wisdom, has thus early in his Episeupate to call awa; ‘ainwright to his great account, let us witl thankfulness acknowledge that he ha» tempered this visitation with mercy; for certainly it ia no small mercy that you should be enabled at once to agree in the choice of a successor, Of him whom you have thus cho-en, it becomes not me, a stranger, to speak in your presence, excépt that 1 may justly geeume that he should, in 80 large a diocess, with so many individuals eminently qualified for such a post, without any delay or difficulty, have been selected by 8 unanimous vote, cannot but give a pledge to all the church that he will be no unwor- thy successor of your Inte diocesan. His early thevlogt cal studies and training, and his more recent pastoral duties in a large and important charge will have gained him much expesience that caunot but be exceedingly use- ful in administering his future office. In conclusion, as one who bas now fully felt the burden of the Bpiscopate, I will only further exhort our reverend brother, now about to enter upon similar duties, how needful indeeditia that he should more than ever seek for an increase of God’s manifold gifts of grace; that as we shall presently join in what | trust may be effectual, fervent prayer for ‘im, he may truly execute the office whereunto he called to the gaitying wof the church and to the praise and glory of God, if the Church of Christ is ever ade- quately to fulfil her mission in the world—if she is to be “asa city eet upon a hill,” “a city of refuge for way- farers,” ‘a city which fs at unity with itself, whither the tribes may go up—the tribes of the Lord,’” it must, under God’s blessing, be in no small measure owing to the degree of faithiulness and wisdom, and love, with which those who fill the places of authority take over- sight of the flock committed to their charge. And though we may not, in these days, be called ou to give our bodies to be burned at the stake for a testimony for the truth of the Me oe yet the steadfast and en- durirg spirit ie not the less needful now than in the times of YY, persecution. Nay, more—we must seek that spirit of love which shall teach not only endurance, but humility, which “ vaunteth not iteelf, is not pulled up, nor easily provoked; which “beareth all things, believeth all ti ‘hopeth all things, endureth all things, is in store for those who are persecuted for righteousness sake, there is one also for the peace-makers, for they shall be called the children of God. And if we wish to see the present prospects of our Zion, let us remember that however the world may boast its power and make light of them that fear tho Lord, yet “blessed are the meck, for they shall inherit the earth.” 0, let us pray that with such grace and in auch @ spirit, this, our brother, may go forth from this ranctuary’as a chief watchman over God’s house, and a leader in the armies of Israel. ‘Then shall his work prosper; then shall he eo guide you through the strife and the evil of this world that you may learn to walk in unity of spirit, in the bond of peace and rightoousness of life, until the wilter- ness shall be passed, and that day shall arrive when Christ’ prayern for his people shall have its perfect work, and all the sheep hall be gathered together, one flock in one fold, safe from e inger, secure from every fear, under the immediate and over abiding care of the one great Shepherd and Bishop of our souls The anthem was then sung as follows:— 3 ene now, praise the Lord all ye servants of the rd; Ye that by night stand tn the house of the Lord, even in the courts of the house of our God, Lift up your hands in the sanctuary, and praise the The Lord, that made heaven and earth, gifygbee blessing out of Sion, The consecration office then commenced. ‘The Rt. Rev. Bishop Browyxtt, of Connecticut, presi- ded. The bishop elect, vested with his rochet, was present- ed by Bishop Potter, of Pa., and (assistant) Bishop Wruiams of Conn., saying: Reverend Father in God, we present unto you this godly and well learned man, to be ordained and conse- crated bishop. The testimonials were then read in the following order :— From the Convention of the Diocess, Rev. Mr. Eigen- brodt; from the Standing Committees, Rev. Dr. Haight; the consent of the Bishops, Rev. Dr. Van Kiveck, The promise of conformity was then taken of the bishop elect, a8 follows :— In the name of God, Amen. I, Horatio Potter, chosen Provisional Bishop of the Protestant Episcopal Church in New York, do promise conformity and obedience to the doctrine, dixcipline, and worship of the Protestant Fpiscopal Church in the United States of America. So help me God, through Jesus Christ. ‘The Prrswine Bisnor then read as follows :-— Brethren, it is written in the Gospel of Saint Luke, that our Saviour Christ continued whole night in prayer. before he chose and seut forth his twelve apos- ties. It is written also, that the holy apostles prayed before they ordained ‘tthias to be of the number of the twelve: Letiur, therefore, following the example of our Saviour Christ and bis apostles, offer up our prayers to Almighty God, before we admit and send forth this person Presented unto us, to the work whereunto we trust the Holy Ghost hath called him. ‘The Litany was then said by the Rt. Rev. Bishop East- Bruny, of Mass., with the following change :— After the words ‘‘ that it may please thee to illuminate all bishops,” &c. was said— That it may please thee to bless this our brother elected, and to send thy grace upon him, that he may duly execute the office whereunto he is called, to the edifying of thy church, and to the honor, praise, and glory of thy name. Answer. Wo beseech thee to hear us, good Lord. Tho Rt. Rev. the Bishop of Massachusetts then reag the following prayer — Almighty God, giver of all good things, who by thy Holy Spinit bast appointed divers orders of ‘ministers tn thy'chore), mercifully behold this thy servant now called to the work and ministry of bishop, and so replenish him with the truth of thy doctrine, and adorn him with innocency of life, that, both by word and deed he may faithfully rerve thee in this office, to the floty of thy name, and the edifying and well governing of thy church; through the merits of our Saviour Jesus Christ, who liv. eth apd reigneth with thee and the Holy Ghost, world without end. Amen. ‘The Bishop elect was then examined by the Right Rey. Bishop Doane, of New Jersey, as follows:— Brother, forasmuch as the Holy Scripture and the ancient canons command, that we should not be hasty in laying on hands, and admitting any person to govern- ment in the Church of Christ, which he hath purchased with no less price than the effusion of his own blood; before we admit you to this administration, we will ox- ; trust—the catholic faith and ministerial gifts. I might mention the earnest and sustained and successful efforts now making for the furtherance of the Gospel kingdom by missionary enterprise abroad ; the real and wisdom and munifcence manifested co generally in the erection | anine you in certain articles, to the end that the ¢on- iter preront may have a trial, and bear witness, ‘ow you are minded to behave yourself in the Chureh of od. ‘Q.

Bishop Doans then read the following prayer:— Almighty God, our heavenly Father, who hath given you a go you strength and power to perform the samo; that, he accomplishing in you the good work which he hath’ be- gun, yop may be found perfect and irreprehensible at the latter day, through Jesus Christ our Lord. Amen. The bishop elect was then clothed with the vest of the Episcopal habit, and the Veni, Creator Spiritus was | said over him, the presiding Bishop commencing, and the others answering:— Come Holy Ghost, our souls inspire, And lighten with celestial fire. Thou the annoiating spirit art, Who dost thy sevenfold gifts impart. Thy blessed unction from above Is comfort, life, and fire of love. Enable with perpetual light ‘The dullness of our blinded sight. Anoint and cheer our soiled face With the abundance of thy grace. Keep far our foes, give at home; Where thou art guide no ill can come. Teach us to know the Father, Son, ‘And thee, of both, to be but one. ‘That, through the ages all along, ‘This may be our endless song : Praise to thy eternal merit, Father, Son, and Holy Spirit. ‘The presiding Bishop then said:— Lord, hear our prayer. Answer.—And let our cry come unto thee. Let us pray. Almighty God, and most merciful Father, who, of thine infinite goodness, hast given thine ouly and dearly | Veloved fon Jesus Christ, to be our author of everlasting life; hee our ,redemption by his death, and was ascended into heaven, poured down his gifts abundantly upon men, making some Apostles, some Prophets, some Evan- gelists, seme Pastors and Doctors; to the edifying and making perfect his Church; Grant, we beseech thee, to redy 1) opreadabrond’ thy’ Gospel the glad tillage of ready to spread al y e renipolliatanseith thee; and use the aattbetty ven him, not to destruction, ‘but to salvation; not to hurt, but to help: so that, as a wise and faithful servant, giving to tay family their portion in due season, he may at last be received into everlasting joy; through Jesus Christ our Lord, who with thee and the Holy Ghost liveth and reigneth, one God, world without end. Amen. ‘The bishop elect was then consecrated, kneeling before the Presiding Bishop, the Bishops of Montreal, Vermont, New Jersey, Michigan, Maryland, and Pennsylvania, their hands were laid upon his head, the Presiding Bishop vaying— Receive the Hely Ghost for the office and work of a bishop in the church of God, now committed unto thee dy the imposition of our hands; in the uame of the Fa- ther, and of the Son, and of the Holy Ghost. Amen. And remember that thou stir up the grace of God, which in given thee by this imposition of our bands: for God hath not given us the spirit of fear; but of power, and love, and soberness. ‘The Presiding Bishop then presented the new bishop with the Bible, saying— Give heed unto reading, exhortation, and doctrine. Think upon the things contained in this buok. Be dili- gent in them, that the increase coming thereby may be ianifest unto all men; for by so doing thou shalt both rave thyself and them that hear thee. Be to the flock of Christ a shepherd, not a wolf; feed them, devour them act. Hold up the weak, heal’ the sick, bind up the broken, bring again the outcast, seek the lost. Be #0 merciful, that you be not too remiss; so minister disci- line, that you forget not mercy; that when the Chief thepherd shall appear, you may receive the never-fading crown of glory; through: Jesus Christ our Lord. Amen. ‘The consecration office was thus finished, and the com- munion service was proceeded with, as follows:— The Offertory, the Right Rev. the Assistant Bishop of Connecticut. ‘The Prayer for the Church Militant, &., to the Trisa- ion, the Right Rev. the Bishop of Maryland. ‘The Frayer of Access and that of Consecration, the ht Rev. the beet ee who \dministration of the Elemente—To the Clergy, by the Bishops; to the Laity, by Pres 5; ‘The Rev. the Bishop Elect of Rhode Island. ‘The Ven.

T “Another Outrage tn Mexico.” LEITER OF GEN. GADSDEN. LXGATION OF THE Usitep Sratrs, Mexico, Nov 4, 1854. To Cor. CunstxouaMm, Eprron Cuanieston News: Drar Sir—I read with no little mortification the re- publication of an article in your journal from a Texas paper, headed ‘Another Ou in Mexico.” The pain- ful disclosure of ‘‘three American citizens confined for four years in a stone and filthy dungeon,” and tortured, without trial or legal condemnation, coupled with the public appeal, “for the sake of humanity, let there be something done in the matter—if a citizen of the United States has any abroad, let it be known—for what object do we have s Minister in Mexicut’’—comes through a journal from the native city of this legation, that makes the reproof the more painful. It is true, the statement of the aggrieved parties ‘having at seve- raltimes written letters to the American ister at Mexico” is qualified with the charitable apology “that it is su that he has never recoived them.” ‘The highly respected Georgia, Mississippi, Arkansas had thelr «eympathics very properly excited at sceves of protracted sufferings which they were permitted to witness. When at Iurango, however, and ‘where there is no Consul or United States Agent to watch over American interests, (the distance from the capital not exceeding two hundred miles,) a communication direct to oo wy cod be sracil ict Decora earlier at- tention and relief, than intelligence (conveying reproofs through circuitous and uncertain public channels, wines accidentally found a place in the columns of one of the journals received at this Legation. It was fortunate in ‘this respect, aa it detailed comploints of the “rude hand of violence’’ towards American citizons where it was most important it should be known. There has been no time therefore lost in instituting an enquiry into the state- oents of personal outrage detailed in the devs, and as most opportunely there ii American citizon respectability and character en, in businoas at Du- ravigo, this Legation has aval itself of his services to secure & Lyne pe investigation of the causes of arrest, latin or eppeve ire iat the pledges of the Taaugeral alarm or a nsion tha will not be redeemed to the full measure of reclamation . by this Legation | "in justice to those, however, who have ded the present incumbent in the re the Mexican thiasion, it ought to be said, drous docket to peraons a on record, and of wrongs ind pf Mich ‘had peen adjusted én the provisions’ of @ reste tefl eee pes og ‘Shirley, Redgers and Gaines are not het office nate no bees ndence the cubject, nor are there any just ground, for the be- Hoe that any letters addressed on the sy ject of grev- rou may be | doc- | will to do all these things, grant also unte | Redeemer, and the | who after that be had made | sv'eal ? | : ment in my regard, you will permit me to put yourself and others right in the matter. I was not, Me the first psc, asked to give a burial in front of the church lo the remains of Rev. Mr. Brady. Secondly—The chureh fronts on the street, within a few feet of the sidewalk; the space intervening was never contemplated for s burial , neither is there a burial place in connection with the church. ‘Thirdly —The Rev. Mr. Brady died poscessed of a burial yund, where I had a right to expect his interment, un- 6 informed of his desire to the nag Fourthly—I was not informed of Rev. Mr. Brady’s re- quest to be buried ‘near the church’’ until about 11 o’clock of the day of his interment. Filthly—thbere is no railing in front of the ehurch, none contemplated to be there; consequently the place was unfit fora burial place, as any enclosure waised in front of the church would be much out of place, and Cetract greatly from the appearance of the chureb. fixthly—The church at Hartford belongs to me; it cost something over $40,000; I had to assume its entire debt, about $27,000; the balance was paid by the people; con- sequently if any friend of the deceased wished his inter- ment there, ] should have been informed of it. Seventhly—Had I informed in season of the so called request of the deceased to be interred ‘ near the church,’’ 1 would, at once, have directed its interment in the church, which would, in the case, have been proper place. , ‘You will observe, then—first, that I was not consulted ) as to the interment of Rev. Mr. Brady by the mover, or | movers, in the matter; secondly, that these movers se- | lected a place most unfit, and never intended as a burial | place; and, thirdly, that’ they selected it without con- | su:ting the proprietor of the place selected for the inter- ment There are facts that cannot be set aside, and those facts show that I have been greatly misrepresented, and that some +ditors have permitted themselves to be im- posed on by the fabricators of the marvellous. T rewooved the. Geceesed ‘fron Wis pastoral charge of the congregation last July, for reasous which justified me &o far as to leave me no other alternative before con- science. Could I have justified myself before conscience in again rei, | him to the charge of the same con- gregation, I would most Shagetolly have done 80, for I never entertained any personal will towards the de- ceased. In season, | of him another congregation, considering myself justified in doing so, as in a new place the same cbstacles to his ministerial success would not exist, aa at Hartford. Ican find no ground for self-reproach in the matter; did a similar case occur again, I would be impelled to act as I did in this instance, unless I became willing to sa- *crifice conscience, and betray the interests of religion. As to the action of the people in the case, it was limited toafew, the chief of whom is a most worthless man, and _was so considered by the deceased. Whilst the congregation deplore action of a scandalous character on the part of any holding communion with them, they can congratulate themselves on the fact that the action of a few evil disposed persons, and such may be found amongst every people, cannot deprive them of their good name. ‘This is a true and full statement of the facts in the ‘am concerned, and facts will ever, with tened people, outweigh assertion and libellous statement. The only favor] ask of those editors who bave published statemouts from other quarters on this matter, or made comments based on these statements, injurious to me, is the publication of this article. nd Respectfully yours, +BERNARD O'REILLEY, Provipence, Nov. 21, 1864.
