The ‘first lesson was from Ezekiel, xxiil., verse 21, begin- ning with, “Thus thou calledst to remembrance the Jewdness of thy youth, in bruising thy teats by the Egyptians for the paps of thy youth.” Then, after the usual exercises, followed the twentieth chapter of St. Luke to the end. The pealm was sung in the twenty-third metre. The benediction was pronounced by Bishop Mcilvaine, of Ohio, Ata few minutes before eleven o'clock, Rev. Dr. Craik took the chair and called the House to and also that, the Hoise of Btshops concurring, the choir of Trinity chapd be requested to assist at the morning service ag heretofore. The cause which drew forth this moticn was that the chanting by the surpliced choir of which ig customary in ‘Trinity chapel, an¢ which had been practised as ‘usual each morningof the convention, Was not per- formed yesterday.

The English Quakers and the Irish Church. The English Society of Friends have issued an address strongly advocating the separation of Church and State, and concluding in the following terms:— Do any really imagine that in removing the exist- ing ley “establishment” the State would cease to be Christian? Can there be a r fallacy? It is not the State that makes the Christian; it the Christian that molds the character of the State. far as the people themselves are brought under the power of the Gospel, Christianity will rei supreme in the national councils and influence the administration of the law. Were this truly the case with every professor of the Christian ame in this land, how much cause would there be for hope that the churches of England, no longerfeevered by State interference, but united in a true sense of their bes calling in Christ Jesus, become more faithful wit- nesses of His power and redeeming love to vie world around them, and illusirate, more than they have ever yet done, the truth and bilessedness of the pro- mise, ‘All thy children shall be taught of the Lord, and great shall be the peace of thy children.

In reply, toa communication from the honorable secretary of the Birmingham Protestant Association, Mr. Bright writes as follows:—“Rochdale, Sept. 16, 1868.

I need hardly teli you that I am very Protestant—being much against al! priestly power; but I cannot con- sent, under the name of testantism, to do what may be unjust, and what would, in my opinion, cre- ate discord and difficulty throughout the nation.” Religious Notes. A clergyman in England, on a salary of £400r $200, received a present Of £2, and his oficial members hearing of it claimed it as part of the salary. We know of a similar case in this country, where a benevolent gentleman gave a minister $100 for an extra service, and the people insisted on its going towards his little salary. A Western Hebrew Christian Brotherhood has been established at Chicago, to promote religious effort for the conversion of the Jews. Rev.

Yesterday’s work in the Naturalization Bureau and in the courts where distinguished foreigners and gentlemen from Ireland are blown into the full dig- nity of American citizenship was the heaviest of the season. The various mills in the neighborhood of the City Hall were thronged all day with an eager crowd of applicants for the suffrage. The German democratic; the Tammany and the republican com- mittees were busily employed in making out papers for their respective adherents, and sharp, buainess- Jooking men bustled through the crowds of expect- ant citizens giving a wink here, a ned ¢here and general bints and suggestions as to the easiest way of Supping through the mill, Not only every office in the City Hall, but the barrooms and cellars in the neighborhood were occupfed by people engaged in the work of preparing papers and in instructing can- didates in Way apd means of obtaining certifi- cates of oltizensnip. In the Court of Common Pleas and the Superior Court the business was exceedingly brisk. Ln fact, such is the be with which applicants are clothed with the rights and privileges which American citizenship is supposed to confer that it is almost impossible to take note of their nationality or the other facts elicited in the examinations by the If the process of manufacture ts rapid, how- ever, there is no reason for supposing that the pro- visions of the statute law are not enforced. There is no other way of obtaining certificates of citizenship fraudulently than by pour pure and simple. An impression prevai's that tt ls a common practice for men who make perjury @ profession to “put through” fifty persons a day, and it is asserted that fully one- half of those naturalized never go before the Judge and are utterly ignorant ef the process by which they are manufactured into citizeuship.

Naturalized yesterday. Previously naturalized TELEGRAPH EXTENSION. — Uniou of Denmark with Russia and Engla The Russo-Americau Project—Communica- tion to the East. {From the London Times, Sept. 29.) The line of telegraphs between Denmark and Russia, the proposed establishment of which we alluded some days ago, will extend, as at present contemplated, irom Zeeland, at a point not far from to the isiand of Bornhoim, and from in Rusela, a distance altogether of 400 mstruction of this extension, which jary to the Anglo-Danish line recently laid between Rinkjobin and Newbiggin, will almost complete the communication between England and Russia. The manufacwure of the cable which is in- tended to be laid between Peterhead and Norway is, we understand, satisfactorily progressing. A por- tion of the cores for the new boot ge of the Persian Guif line has been manufactured, and the serving and sheathing of 11 has been commenced. It is nounced that a telegraph has been completed between Suakin, in the Red Sea, and Cassaba, in Egypt; but that communication 1s not yet practicable, owmg to the damage done to the woodwork by the ants. It is intended to substitute metal posts in order to pre- Vent the recurrence of the inconvenience. The Kus- sian screw corvetie Lion, which was engaged some time ago In inaking soundings with a view to find a T68 4,080 proper route fora submarine cable forming a portion of the Indo-Kuropean telegraph scheme, has com- pleted wer survey. Inthe nortieastern part of the sea an apparently safe and pri le route has been surveyed. The possibility of submerging a cable near the coast has, we believe, been demon- strated. i The scheme Projected of uniting America and Rus- sta bY telegraph has been abandoned. The arrival at Newfoundiand of the steamer Hawk, which was engaged to repair the fault in the Atlantic cable of 1866, lia been announced. The telegraphic communication with India via the Persian Guif and ‘Turkish lines has been lately maintained with considerable regularity, the average time occupied In the transuission of a message being about a day and a half. This efficient condt- tion of the lines will doubtieas be rendered still more satis! y by the duplication of the sections of the submnaring system througit the Persian Gull. A branch of military telegraphy has been organized in the American service at thelr military school at West Point. Some legal dimeuiti m the way of removing the Great Bastern have been obviated, and it is expected that “the big ship" will shortly appear at her old mooring in the Medway. A telegram, dated September v4, from Valetta, states tat the Chiltern Has transferred the enda of the Maita and Alexandria Cable to the Scanderia, which Was to leave on Saturday, accompanied by the Endymion and Newport, THE CONEY ISLAND SHOOTING AFFRAY, To THe EDITOR OF TAR HERALD :— I noticed an article in your paper of the loth inst. of ashooting affray at Coney Island, in which it is stated that the party ran to Green's Motel and re quested some one to go in quest of the would-be murderer.

COOL PROCEEDING, Ellen Conner was arraigned for appropriating to her own use a silver watch of the value of twenty- five dollars, the property of a tall, old fellow who ought to have known better, ina lodging house in Baxter street, named Henry Hastings. “Well, Ellen,” said Judge Kelly, “what have you to say for yourself?” ‘Yer baner,”’ answered the tender-hearted Ellen, pt plaae guilty shure, darlint, yer haner, till the arge. “Very well,”’ said his Honor. “But yese shud be knowing,” continued biue-eyed Ellen, “yer Honor, fat J piades guilty upon. Yese see he owin’ me five dollars now, an’ it’s a pledge that same watch is till me, so it is.’” “I would have thought better ef your statement ae not been here before. “Two months, len, “Thank ye, sir,” said the accused, courtesying. Ellen is a notorious panel thief. “CHECKED.” James Montgomery, a rhetorical and oratorical individual with a hirsute growth, of a redaish hue, that woald enchant an Italian or Spaniard, was ar- raigned for seeping swindle George A. Greeley out of £ dinner. Montgomery entered into a length- ened apd very ingenious defence of his conduct and would coubtiess have ended in proving that the com- plainant was the offender and ought to have been on his defence for daring to charge the orator with aight of a character that might be consid- ered a swindle, had not his Honor cut his speech short by fnforming him that he would pro- vide him at the expense of the county with meals for twenty cay in the City Prison, James, on hear- ing this, shut up his “potato trap,” and, bowing reverently to the representative of the law, graciously retired. James is now in his retirement. “PLOURED,”? John Sutherland pleaded guilty to stealing a bar- rei of flour from Charles Haggerty. John said he couldn't deny the fact, and wouldn't if he could. For his straightiorwardness in the line of truth his Honor invited him from the cares of age to a resilience on Blackwell's Island for the next two months, A BAD INVESTMENT. Joseph Wolf and Gete Budix were charged with stealing from James Hoster four ve Budix got of and Wolf was sent to the Penitentiary for five months. See what it is to be a wolf in sheep's clothing—for the vests were woollen. A NICE LITTLE FIGHT. James Hynes, rough looking specimen of humanity, with a face cut and scratched feartully, and who would have made agmagnificent cutthroat in @ band of penqeeneny, was arraigned on the charge of sending Thomas Coughiin into the middie of next week with acart rung. The complainant's head was bound with as many wrappers as were put by the ancient Copts on an Egyptian mummy to keep it from falling apart, and when he took his place on the witness stand he presénted the appear- ance of one who had been grievously dealt with, James did not deny the assault, but offered as his defence the excuse that the complainant did not use such language toward him aa he thought one gentie- man should use toward another. “Jimmy,” said his Honor, “I shall have to send you up for two months.” “Its hard, yer Honer, but | suppose I'll hev to submit, But——" and as he left the court room tor the prison he cast a look at Thomas Coughiin that boded him no good in the time to come. GOING INTO THE WINE BUSINESS. Florence Meriweather was arraigned for stealing wine from a fat little Duteh woman named Caroline Bort. Florence acknowledged the juice of the grape and was permitted to take up his residence for two months on Blackwell’s Island, and while there to amuse himself picking Up stones for quarrying pur- poses, EMBRZZ1LBMENT. was placed before his Honor Judge Kelly on irge of embezzlement preferred by William F.

He intended to return the mone’ very cent of it, Judge"—but it came upon him somehow before he knew it, He had never done such a thing before— never. Howard was remanded. A COLORED GENTLEMAN IN A DIPRICULTY. Henry Johnaon, of the African persuasion, was charged with stealing @ coat from a scion of the house of Montague—Charies de ia. The case was a bad one for Henry, whose black face tarned yellow as the truth was brought out aginst him. And when at length he heard that he was made the guest of the county for the next four months perforce he left the rourt room in a most disconsolate condition of mind, Henry won't want an overcoat this witter. ORSTRUCTING THE UNITRD STATES MAIL. George Herbert, a driver of a United States mail Wagon, was arraigned on a charge of assantting with & whip Charies H. Ferguson. It appeared in the evidence that the wagon in which was Herbert had run over or against a little boy named Clay. The complainant had seized the horse,by the head Herbert was remanded Howard T.
