In seconding the resolutions Governor Fish satd that, having for nearly a third of a century sus- tamed intimate personal relations to the deceased, he hoped that he would be allowed to say a few Words in memory of his eminent character. Mr. Hunt, he said, while earnest in his owa convictious, Was tolerant of ail differences, Firm aud decided in hig ontnens je exercised a generous charity towards thosé Who were led 9) other concius.ons; pure ‘n his own thoughts and objects, he was slow that they completed their organization for business eouid be obtained. ‘Lhe House of the Clerical and Lay Deputies met at ten o'clock A. M. im the nave of the chapel. Tie proceedings opened by the reading of the morning prayers by Bishop Talbot, of Indiana, assisted by Bishop Neely, of Maine, and benediction was said by Bishop Smith, of Kentucky, and a psalm, commenc- tng “Praise God, ye servants of the Lord,” was sung by the members assembled.

As hess; with a large heart and an open hand, he dis- about eleven o'clock the Rev. Dr. Craik, | tributed his charities freely and wisely; wit high of Kentucky, took the chair. Rev. Mr. Sperry acted a3 secretary, and Rev, Messrs. Rodgers and Mitchell Were announced as having been appointed frst and eecon'l assistant secretaries respectively. Rev. Dr. Mead, of Connecticut, presented the petition from the newly organized diocese of Nebraska for admis- sion into the Union of the Church, and advocated tts reference to the Standing Committee on New Dio- Geses. Rev. Dr. Littiejolin, of Brooklyn, read a serie’ 6f statistics showing the amount of work done for esiabilshing and increasing the Church tn that far off State, of the churches and colleges founded and the Jncreasing bumber of converts and communicants, Qnd strougly favored the pare of the petition, which was referred a8 moved. ‘The Rev, Dr. Adams, of Wisconsin, presented 4 me- Moria! from that diocese praying for the amendment of the obstructive Canonical laws of 1789, as to the reception of new dioceses, and to adopt such meas- ures as will expedite their admission, The Doctor stated that other dioceses had intended to present milar petitions, and on his motion the subject was ferred to the Committee on Canons, ‘The law aliuded to is to be found in article five of constitution of 1789, and provides that no new ucese can be formed without the sent of the bishop and convention of each diocese Concerned, as ‘Wel! as the general convention; that there cannot be Jess than fifteen self-supporting dioceses, with thir- teen preabyters, who shall have beeo at least one zene ordained, and no city to form more than one iocese, giving the bishop of a diocese the power to @lioose Which diocese he will belong to in case of a @ivision, and directs that new dioceses shall be sub- Ject to the constitution and canons of the new dio- cese.

Dr. Mahan, of Maryland, p1 moiial in favor of the provincial system of dioceses, Which was referred to the Committee on Canons. The Rev. Dr. Benjamin I. Haight, of New York, submitted the memorial for a division of the diocese of New York, which was referred to the Committee on New Dioceses, and also the plan for @ federate council—referred tohe Committee on Canons, It ‘will be recollected that this memorial and plan formed the principal subject of debate at the @iocesan convention held ‘ast week at St. Paul’s ehurch in this city. The memorial proposes the Boreas, of the folowing canon as a new law of the arch:— It ts hereby declared lawful for the dioceses now existing, and noble ais of his own, his sympathles were ever with the hopes and aspirations of others. In coi- clusion Mr. Fish referred feelingly to the great ser- vices Mr, Hunt had rendered to the cause of religion and the Church during hia lfetime, and asked the unanimous adoption of the resolution, It was car- gs by the whole House rising in response to tue ali of the Chair, Rey. Dr. Haight then proposed to ask the House of Bishops to take some suitable notice of the death of the Most Rev. Lord Bishop of Montreal and Me- tropolitan of Canada, which was carried unani- Mmously, after which the House adjourned to ten o'clock this morning. : Missionary Sermon in Calvnry Church, Calvary church, corner of Twenty-first street and Fourth avenue, was crowded !ast night, every scat being occupied by members of the Convention of the Bourd of Missions and others to listen to a miasion- ary sermon by the Right Rev. Bishop Beckwith, of Georgia, There were some thirty bishops present, a number of whom had scatsinthechancel, After the usual evening service Bishop Beckwith ascended the pulpit and delivered a very elaborate and exceed- ingly well prepared sermon on the importance of missionary labors, the burden of the whole being the injunction of the Saviour to the Aposties, “Go ye, therefore, and teach all nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father, the Son and the Holy Ghost: Teaching them to observe all things whatsoever [ have commanded you: and lo, lam with you alway, even unto the end of the worid."’ (St, Matthew, xxvill 10-20.) After @ very eloquent exordium the ight revorend epeaker referred to the many difficulties that beset the Church, but under God and with the ald of divine Providence difficulties always become the stepping stoue to assumed progress and advance- ment tor the Church. There never was greater need for increased activity in the cause of the Church than now.

The Rev. Dr, BRLLOWS, Of New York, next got the joor, and said he néver rose to perform amore pain- i duty than on the present occasion. Judging by What was the fecling of the Convenuon, as expressed in its applause, he this would be the last time he would have the pleasure of addressing this Unita- Tian Convention, He was not going to let himseif even constructively be put outside the Christian Church by any motion of this Convention, He wanted to meet this attempt to shake off Cliria- tlanity flat footed; he wauted no rose water concession, and if that was to be carried out he for one would go his solitary way, asking no one to go with him, but going where lis dut, his Lord and Master Jesus Christ ca led him. Here the Convention manifested “ of impatience b, 8 ping with their feet, &c. Dr. Bellows conunued, citedly declaring that Christianity and the histort- cal Christian religion would outlive ali assauits upon it, The chairman then calied time upon Dr, bellows, but a motion was made to extend it, which Dr. Bel- lows refused to accept of. ‘The next speaker was tho Rev. Mr. Marwoon, of Louisville, who wanted to see both the amendment to the constitution and the amendment to tue amendment adopted, n if the latter was rejected, still he maintained that the Conference would be @ conference of Christian churches. ‘The Rey.

Mr. Mayo, advocating Dr. 00d ment offered to the constitution was, he said, au attempt to convert this into a free religious asso- ciation, (Loud cries of “no, no,’ and counter criea of “aye, aye.”) If the attempt was success- ful, we might next year have Spiritualists, Jews Socialists in the convention—anything but Curis- Uans, At this point, when the excitement was at its height, the previous question was moved. ter considerabie debate Rev, Mr. Hale offered a resolution as @ substitute for the previous motion and amendments, He sald it waa a compromise that had been agreed upon by the leaders of both parties, It was as follows:— ARTICLE 9. To secure the largest untty of the Spirit and the widest practical co-operstion 94 herevy uit od that ali declarations of this Conference, inclu tiny the reambie constituiion, are expressio! ouly of its majority, committing in’ no degree tho: who coject to them, aut dependent wiolly for thelr effect Upon the consent they comm:nd on their own mertts from the churches here repreacuted or belonging within the circle of our fellowship. The previous question was seconded, and then commenced al! Kinds of interrogatories. The radi- cals had evidently been outinanwuy: by the con- Servatives, Atter considerable delay a standiag vote was taken, resuiting in the adoption of Mr. Hale’s substitute by an immense majority. ‘The Gonveution they took a recess to two o'clock of Cincinnati, next spoke, i) smeudmont’ The amend: Afterneon Session. The members of the Unitarian Convention, finding it somewhat dificult to hear each other at Irving Hall, adjourned at noon to Dr. Osgood’s caurén, corner of Fourth avenue and Re Ce street, where tt reassembled at two o)clock P. M. On opening the session the subject of holding pub- Me ep ak for divine worship in the theatres of the city and el ana other convenient Where, OD ed ars in the week, was fully discussed, ie orl ae resolution hd to Be effect nd was, besides other speakers, warmly ure: by Rey. Dr. Stoples, oF Chicago, who, alter @ long and somewhat rhetorical rgument closed by urging that the committee of three called for in the resolution should be tnstructed to report to-day. Rey. Dr. CLark, of Boston, followed the Chicago genileman, and argued in trenchant English his ex- perience of free churehes and free setvices, and de- Clared it was cheney to the present pian. His congregation had commenced poor, and he himself had labored without salary, or for so small @ one that it might be said to have been nothing. With time it had grown great and power- ful, and the people of his con; (0500 had, with a jel di a few exceptions, raised the money ($59,000) for a new building, to which, when com ed, all would be invited to hear the words of Christ, without money and without price, Rev. Eowakp HALF, also of Boston, followed and Was exceedingly warm in favor of the recog: nition of music as a necessary part of the service of God, He insisted that the choir should be an agent in the means of aal- vation. He was also in favor not only of free churches, but free choir, and he trusted that ail the reiigious edifices, without distinction, should be open to the world for the benefit of the world. By rowing open his church in Boston and having a sareHior choir (and music had much to do with evan- gelizing the world), he had drawn within bis church the street-waikers of Boston and is reforming them. This he thought worth consider! and fighting for. Rev. Mr. OANNEY, also of ton, desired to know what was the Ides of the Christian Church ? It was founded on the body of Christ and his teach- ings, and that as he labored for his kind without compensation and with all sacrifice, if we would therefore do good we must imitate the great mtn pe and inher ee, h a the ype rig Piston urged ¢ propri wit! jan bodies to Tre? ond hat the truth, ag it - ont shox \d ‘a ven ie, ong world. nd to carry ou joas thing rican e Wo 10 every the le to them. He would have games introduced—b! Mieed tables, bowling alle! and tables at which other e8 could be played, besides news- pavers, > This would be his idea of Chris- Rev. Wa. Courtror, of Syracuse, commenced by P thé spiendid churches which had erected by the rich for the use of the ‘‘Lord’s poor. He declared that five years from ve now every eS church in England would be free, and if oristianity would be found in our land the ex- ample of ‘land’s rich must be followed. He then complimented the Irish girls of this city for build- ing edifices in which they could freely worship cording to their own belief. Mr. Barnarp, of Boston, next discussed “Free Churches for the Peopie.’” Mr.NaBLon, of Boston, who set himself up asa son of the Jewish Church, entered into a rambling argu- ment on theology, the drift of which could not be un- derstood, as he spoke with 4 foreign accenr. His leading apie seemed to be to identify Unitarian- ism with Judaisa, ‘The Chair finally calling the Jewish gentleman te order, a gentleman offered a resolution to the effect that the ministers of the Unitarian Church do be- eve in free churches. ‘The resolution after a few deaultory remarks was Put to vote and adopted. An additional resolution, authorizing the opening of the Unitarian churches to all free of charge was = read, and the resolution on motion was laid on e tabi le. The pee eenee then adjourned to balf-past seven "cloc! Orel Evening Session. At the appointed hour, the body of the charch being Wrilitentiy illuminated, the prexiding omcer ing in the chair and the central Alsies well filled, the gavii called the meeting to order. Whereupon Rev. J. F. Wane, of Baitimore, as laid down in tie programme, introduced the pecuniary question in sharp and weil timed remari the method of raising money in the churches the American Unitarian Association, His remarks were reduce’ :owrilug. Ip the course of the argument he si 1 that the tracts issued by the assovia- tion ay ily ine the past year 1, por day; that tte mis ‘ached tn seventy-three places, in man) yhica . v¢lations on a Unitarian basis have been established, and so eftictent ip the African mission has been the association that in that fleld the African Methodists have not hesitated to unite with them io the work of Christ. He next demand to carry out the ob- jects of the association $109,000 for two nsecntive years, and demanded that the ‘arst sunday im November in each year should bo set apart by ministers aud congregations for the great work, and also desired that the financial year should be closed on thé 3iat of every December. Rev. Coantes Lowe followed Mr. Ware in a few eloquent and nt remarks, which were well ap- reciated, He stated that if the association could be eoppiten ponually with one hundred thousand dollars the Work of the Gospel and the doitg of good would be magnitiee @ hundred fold. Since the meeting of the association in Syracuse two years ayo there have been printed twenty standard works, some of the productions of the denowination’s most eminent teachers. Rey. Mr, PurnaM, of Brooklyn, also argned siren. nously in benaif of the Auierican Association and the necessity of raising money to cal on the work, which promised so much in behalf of humanity and the Christian religion. Rev, Mr, CoLLy ER, of Chicago, opened his remarks by reminding his bearere that it always ratns in May when the Quakers meet, and he was afraid it would also iain in November about the tune of the collec tion and keep a ny away. He made sugyea- tions by which this objection Would be overcome, proposing printed cards, &c. Rev. Mr. COLLYER, also of the denomination, spoke forcibly in behalf of having @ regularly Spo! inted day for collecting money for the missionary effort. ‘tue question of raising money was further discnss- ed by a number of gentiemen, and one or two reso- lutions offered, bat before taking final action on the original resoiution, Bishop Payne, of the African Methodist Church, was introduced by Kev, Mr. fsrael. The Bishop, who Is colored, returned thanks W the clergymen for the liberal manner in which tie Unitarians had extended aid to his denomination in helping It to raise to @ gospel Knowledge of the Truta ag it is in Jesus. At the conclusion of the Bishop's remarks Mra. AMY BRADLEY was introduced, She appeaied in assionate lan to the conference for money to ep evucate the forty thousand ignorant white people in North Carolina, who can neither write nor read. She asked for help of any description, The harvest was ripe for the sickle, aud clergymen should be sent to the South to bring the people to a knowl of @ true Christianity, After a few desultory remarks by others ‘‘the hat ‘was passed around,” as a clergyman expressed Ii and there were in @ few minuies several hund) dollars collected, During the collection the colored clerayman, Bish- op PaYNs, addreased the congregation on the destiny the African race on tila cunduent. Among other things it was doubtiess their civilization and Christianization, both of which bad been effected, an, whose Florida was calied to the platform and ad- dressed the audience ina few sensible remarks on the state of religion aud education among the negroes of the South. In his diov-se tuere were 70,000 bellevers and 400 preacuers and exhortera, They were all poor but fui of faith, and Alabama, The bishop spoke encoui ly of the indas- try of this people and See ened uecmtaies of land and houses, Lpwards of ten tuousaad of these, who were a few years ago slaves, are now owners of houses, and, “therefore, have & stake in the land.’? ‘To questions, he answered that the African Metho- dist Church had upward of six hundred ministers, and fully two hundred thousand members in the States ef the Union, North and South. ‘The resolutions discagsed were then taken w The resolution to coilect money on a certain day Is the year ‘or the Cnitarian Association was Shop iag sea arnona Sunday instead of the drst being su ‘The other resolntions were adopted, and on @ fenen announcing that $645 in ard of Amy Brad- ~~ euterpriges in the South had been col.ected, rough @ gen:ieman Mr, Bradiey returned’ her panes for the money thus unexpectedly gathered The Conference, on motion, then adjourned, to Meet at the sae place at half past nine A. M. to-day, ANNIVERSARY OF THE AMERICAN BIBLE UNION. The ninetee: anniversary celebration of the American Bible Union, which was opeved on Wed- neaday at the Mariner’s Temple, corner of Oliver and Henry streets, was concluded yesterday evening, The morning session was presided over by the Rev. Dr. Armitage, and the attendance was fully as large a8 on the first day, The proceedings were opened with appropriate religious services, conducted by the Rev. Mr. Whitehead, Mr, Goss read the report of the Committee on the Bible Work and afterwards made an actress, in the course of which he spoke of the necessity of having the Bible as tt was originally written and objected to the circulation of imperfect translations, The report concluded with a recommendation that $5,009 be ratsed for the purpose of furthering the objects of the Union, ‘The report on the work of the Bibie Union on the Pacitic Coast, which was presented by the Rev. Dr, Francls, of California, was exceedingly satisfactory, and was foliowed by an address on the subject of the Bible work in California by the Kev. Mr. Buckbee, In spite of the great opposition which had to be encountered it was belleved that the principles of the Union were raplalx gaining ground, Much encouragement had been received on the Pacidc coast and money had been liberally contributed in ali the principal towns and cities, A large number of life directors and members had been made in Stockton, Sonora, Columbia and io the mouniain districts, and’ many converts had been made to the doctrine of immer- sion, Mr. Buckbee, who informed the meeting that he had “#ibie Union on the brain,’ said that when in Grasy Valley he asked some miners, who were gambling in a public house, whether they had ever heard of the Bible Union. ‘On being an- swered inthe negative he set to work explaining the objects of the Union, and finaily interested them. 80 much that they bought all the Testaments he had in his wagon. Of the forty-five Paptist churches 1m the State of California only meet regularly on the Lord’s Day, at but ning Sustained their pastors, The entire mémbership of these churches numaers something like two thousand, whereas in New York there are three churches which embrace a much greater pumber. Mr. Buckbee closed his addreas With an earnest appeal for aid to promote the at work of the Bible Union in ghe State of California anda recommendation that only the most zealous jaborers should be sent to tint great fleid, The Afternoon Session.

Very rarely has the Academy of Music been more densely crowded than last evening. Two causes con- tributed to this result. First, to substantially beneiit the New York City Sunday School and Missionary Society of the Methodist Episcopal Church, and, secondly, to hear Rev, William Morley Punshon, the eminent pulpit orator, His lecture last evening fully sustained his splended transatlantic reputation, fle spoke without manuscript or notes, but the gush- ing flow of his polished periods left no doubt of the lecture being at his tongue’s end, Though speaking with great rapidity he, nevor faltered fora word. His #6168 is ¥ery flexible and pleasing, and his style of delivery graceful and dignified as it is earnest and impassioned. An hour and @ half, the timo he was occupied in his lecture, he held his vast audience spellbound by the wonderful power of his eloquence—the eloquence not of voice and gesticula- tion and Manner alone, but of beautiful thoughts and pungent, practical every day truths. His theme was but the basis, or pretext, rather, of his dis- cursive tdeas and salient hits at some of the leading follies of the times. An abstract of the lecture con- voys but a feebie idea of its scope and brilliant force and pungency. After singing a hymn, tn which all the congrega- tion joined, Mr, W. W. Cornell, President of the New York City Sunday School aud Missionary Society of the Methodist Episcopal Church, introduced the lecturer, After an exordium, speaking in general terms of the distinctive characteristics of the heroes of any and ail ages, he uced Daniel as @ Hebrew, of the royal ey Indah, brought a captive to Bab;ion, when @ mere atripling of twenty yeurs.

He in- sisted that the lecturers of the present day are doing Much to engender a spirit of discontent and a prone- ness to build air castles youngmen. ‘they tell young men to aspire, to be self reliant and all thai, and they quote as exampfies those who have risen {rom poverty and obscurity and humble beginniugs Lo places of nd honor and profit. 1t was weil enough for young men to try and better their condl- Uons in life; but the piain fact is that of one hundred Who are to-day grocers niuety will remain grocers to the end of the chapter, He did not believe in biinking the truth, But it was better to be poor aud honest than to nae up Broadway in a carriage cush- foned aud emblazoned with coats of arms bought with the hard earnings of others, and drawn by horses bought and haraessed through meanness and disvooest triekery, Beiter be anything than a dastard; better do anything than waste time in dreams and aspirings aiter impossible heroisms, Here he quoted that well kuown poem, “Kleon and 1,” with marked a3 weil as inspiriting effect, He dwelt upon another characteristic of Daniel—his uniform cour- tesy—and hero again digressed to enforce the utilit of good manners aud agente maniood as opposed A frank and winning The’ frst Gri vo boorishuess and ascetism, courtesy comes stealing like @ sunbeam, with a gentle and subduing warmth.
