The sith day aud fourth business meeting of the Protestant Episcopal General Convention opened yesterday morning at the appointed hour in Trinity Chapel, on west Twenty-fifth street, near Broadway. The morning service was conducted by Rev. Dr. Willlam Adams, of Wisconsin, and Kev. William ©. Williams, of Georgia. The first lesson was from Sec- ond Daniel, beginning with the twenty-fourth verse: “Therefore Daniel went unto Arioch, whom the King had ordained to destroy the wise men of Bab- ylon,”’ The second lesson was from the Gospel ac- cording to. St. Luke, from the twenty-second chapter, the first to the thirty-first verse, opening with, “Now the feast of unleavened bread drew nigh.” The Psalms were not chanted as heretofore by the choir, but read alternately by the ministers and the congrega- tion. Benediction was pronounced by the Right Rev. Dr. Whittingham, Bishop of Maryland. At eleven o’clock the President of the House, Rey. Dr, Craik, of Kentucky, took the chalr and called the meeting to order. The Secretary, Rey, Dr, Sperry, announced the names Of several additional deputies who had Arrived and taken thelr seats, after which he read the minuies of the last session,which were approved, The Pres- ident, before proceeding to business, Salted tho’ at- tention of the House to the complaints made by many membéra that they could not hear the debate as tt was progressing, that one cause of this was the con, stant whisperiag and murmuring among the mem- bers and visitors, and he asked for perfect silence, A NEW DIOCESE IN MARYLAND.

Mavry, Sept. 26, 1863, The following is the full text of the proclamation of Brigadier Topete to the inhabitants of Cadiz:— ON BOARD THE ZaR4GOZa, Bay ov Capiz, Sept. 17, 1868. A sailor beholden to you for many distinctions and notably for that of having represen! you in Parlia- liament, now addresses these words to you toexplain avery serious fact—namely, the hostile attitade of the navy towards the unfortunate government (mal- hatado) which rules the desttnes of the nation. You Tuust no jonger expect elegant phrases from me. You must be prepared to hear the truth. Our unhappy country has for @ number of years been subjected to the most horrible dictatorship; our fundamental laws have been vio- lated; the rights of (he citizens have been disregard- ed. The nauional representation 13 a fictitious one; the bonds which ought to attach the people to the throne and strengtben @ constitutional mouarchy are completely torn asunder. It is needless for me to prociaim these trutls—they are written on the con- Beiences Of us all. Eviis so grave, notto mention those which weigh heavily on the navy, demand remedies commensu- Taic, These are our aspirations. Wedesire that the legitimate power—the people and the throne—should revolve in the orbit which has been traced out for them by the constitution, and re-establish the har- mony and the good feeling which have been dis- turbed. We desire that the constituent Cortes should the first open statement of real facts through official organs. It says, ‘General Prim is supposed to be on board one of the frigates; when the commander of the royal troops was summoned by him tg surren- der they formally refused and a serious colliston ta anticipated.” Now, as your despatches will bave informed you, Prim 1s really in Spain, and he has not coased to act in perfect accordance with the united generals of . however much we have been led Into uncer- tainty by the — Embassy, who, a Havas agenoy, give despatches replete with double meaning. From their telegram of yesterday the public understood that General Prim had met with a cold tion from the AT bere od at Cadiz; that he had pubiished one manifesto, they another, and a scission bad occurred between them. This struck all start politicians as being perfectly improbabie. If eas of the kind had taken place the generals would scarcely haye left the feet under Prim, and the Montteur of to-day states that he has three frigates at Carthagena. Would the papers favorable to the revolution hope much from his presence at the port of Barcaiona or the hostile papers fear his approach? Besides, the meeting at Cadiz was not extempore; it had been proelati } combined and prep: advance; consequently his associates, who were in expectation of his arrival at the very hour he did arrive, received him very weil. Tt is such @ well known fact that the French na- tion are looking on anxiously, with their snsceptibi- lities ready to ruffle up at every passing rumor, that the following communtque has appeared from the Minister of the Interlor:—“Sevel pers, among ovhers the Opinion, the Gaulois, inform that her jesty the Empress has had privat interviews Bi itz with the Queen of Spain. It the Queen has not left St. Sebas- press has not left Biarritz.” ‘This flat contradiction ia intended to convince that the Empreas is not exercising an undue influence on the mind of the Emperor in favor of Isabella. At all events, if Isabella has not left St. Sebastian more is the pity, for the Emperor has advised herto move, and on last bye © when the weather was most in- clement, three of the Empress’ ladies, accompanied by the Duke of Gaive (a relation to EBugénie, and now on the staff), did go to St. Sebastian, stopped with Queen Isabella that day and did not return till the evening. There ne most Intoreating comings and goings of the ministers from their diferent holiday stations to Biarritz and back again. Mr. Dela Valette in partic- ular bas had private interviews ess after which he has been to the State Minister’s, Mr. Rouher, with important communications; after these Mr. Rouher and Mr. Pinard have been called; so altogether these “tl are spolll a good deal of leasure on the frontiers.

It is almost ridiculous to look at the list of arrivals from the peninsula; a tae ig their first halt, and grandees do not stop till they get there; but of all the defections that of Gonzalez Bravo is the most conspicuous. On leaving his Queen at Lequeitio he assured her and all her adherents there that he was understand their mission, and, faithful to their man- Gate, should open to the nation a true era of consti- tutional monarchy.

A suggestion was made that the constitution provided the time for a division to take effect, to be fixed by the Bishop of the diocese, to be divided and the report having been amended to that eilect it was unavimously adopted.

Dr. Littlejohn cailed attention to the fact that it was utterly {mpossibie for the reporters to hear what was transpiring, and he, therefore, moved that better accommodations be aiforded to the reporters io bare body of the house, which was unanimously carri Mr. 8, B. Ruggles, in seconding the motion, said that he knew several of the reporters pencnny and could state that not only was it desirable that they should have proper accommodation for the purpose of giving these reports, but that they were emi- nently worthy of having seats in the Convention, of them were eminently worthy on account of their education, cultivation and refinement, and he miner the Convention would afford them every fa- cillty to perform their duties. (It is but proper to state that the press is indebted to the Secretary of the Convention, Kev. Dr. Sperry, for this attention, at whose request Dr. Littlejohn, seconded by Mr. Ruggles and others, moved in the matter.) PROPOSED REMOVAL TO THE CHURCH OF THE TRANS- FIGURATION. The question to afford better accommodations to the reporters for the preas brought up at ance the sub- bee of the general unappropriatedness of the build- ng to the a of adeliberative assembly. Mr. tm. Welsh, of Pennsylvania, stated that it was not only the reporters who could not hear but the mem- bers of the House themselves labored under tho same difficulty. Hestated that the rector and vestry of the church of the Transiiguration on wend ninth street, near Fifth avenue, had offered their building for the sittings of the House, and that it was much better adapted in acoustics as well as for other considerations. He therefore moved that when the House urn it be to meet on Tuesd morning, at the other church. The debate whic followed this motion was quite lengthy, desultory and at times even animated. Rev. Di ht, in the course of it, spoke of the expense of mai new ments at another church, that it was physically Aeapoanitie for him and his associates on the Committee of oot py ge $o continue to act if a ci was voied, that he had no control over the furniture of the church now used by the House, some being borrowed and some purchased, snd that he wished the committee ap- inted toselect another building be cl with ie arrangements for the removal. Asto the point of expense the Pennsylvania delegation announced that they would pay whatever it may be vver one hundred dollara. Disclaimers of intending any dis- respect or want of thankfuiness to the Committee of Arrangements for their labors were numerous, A motion was made to postpone indefinitely the whole subject, but afterward withdrawn in favor of a mo- tion to refer it to the Joint Committee of both houses heretofore appointed, with @ request to report as soon as possible. A motion to table the subject was lost. Dr. Abercrombie, as chairman of the Committee of the House of Deputies on the subject, stated the reasons why the church pro- posed was preferable to the chapel as a lace of meeting, the acoustics were perfect, here was more room for the public and there were four committee rooms at their disposal Rev. Dr. Haight believed the difficulty arose from the fact that 80 many members come upon the floor to trans- act other business. If they would realize the fact that they are a council of this holy church and be- lieve what they pray daily, that the Holy Spirit pre- sides over their deliberations, they would act difver- ently. The motion to refer to the joint committee was finally carried. BOARD OF MISSIONS.

Rev. Dr. Charles Beech, of Delaware, complained of the manner jn which thia memorial was con lew York and sent out broadcast over those who signed ifat Wilaiington, ‘Dele now resret ne Who) now regre' their action as hasty and inconsiderate and would withdraw their signatures. 4 COUNTER BLAST FROM THB HIGH CHURCH MEN. Rev. Dr. James A. Harrold, of Florida, now moved to instruct the Committee on Canons to inquire whether there has been ay. departure from the ea- tablished usages of the Church by tne omission of any part of the services regularly prescribed. This was intended asa hit at the Low Chi who have in their churches considerably abbreviated the ser- vice prescribed, somewhat of a Roland for an Oliver. The chair ruled the motion out of order as au amend- ment to Judge ynham’s memorial, but declared himself ready to entertain it as an independent pro- ition. The hour having arrived for recess the louse interrupted its proceedings. Afternoon Session. The first business was a report from Rev. Dr. Milo Mahan, of Maryland, chairman of the Committee on the Removal of the House to the Oharch of the Transfigaration. The report recommend the removal of the sessions of the Convention, after Fog Mai cncer to the Church of the Tranahgure. enty-ninth street and Broanyay He moved tio a that the Convention concur in the report and remove at one o'clock to-morrow noon. He also moved the thanks of the Convention be tendered to the ves try of Trinity church and to the; Committee of Ar- oie od The ona also proj that Mr, Wiliam Wel of insylvania, and . Dr. Aber- crombie should be a committee of arrangements to carry the resolution into effect. After some debate the report was adopted, and shortly afterwards the House of Bishops sent a message that they concurred in the contemplated removal. The Bishops, Lag er, will remain in seasion where they are—on Twen- -fifth street. RITUALISM AND LOW CHURCH. On the memorial Ryeet by aces Conyngham Rev. Dr. Adams took the floor and spoke of the ne- cessity of having some uniformity of worship. He believed the debate upon the quest will be warm and that they will wo! each other, but he hoped some system for clerical vestments will be adopted for divine worship. The memorial and mn were then referred as moved, and the resolution of Rev. Mr. Harrold took the same course. ahh ASSEDTION OF AUTHORITY By THR HOUSE. ie Rev.

NEW YORK CITY. THE COURTS. . —_—_—_— ONITED STATES CIRCUIT COURT—IN ADMIRALTY Appeal in Admiralty—Decision. Before Judge Nelson, Benjamin F. Townet al. vs. The Steamship Western Metropolis.—The collision in this case occurred be- tween the steamer Western Metropolis and the schooner Mary C. Town, about eight o'clock in the evening of the 10th of February, 1864, on the Poto- mac, @ few miles above Blackstone’s Island and lighthouse, The steamer was coming up the river @nd the schooner going down, the wind northerly, 80 that she bad it nearly free, moving tl f about eight knots an hour; the Stoner iit speed, intending soon to anchor, about five knots. The night was not dark, the steamer having becn seen some four or five miles ahead by the bands on the schooner, and the schooner some one and a half or two iniles—though there is sone diversity of opinion sans the hands on board—by the steamer. Each veusel, however, saw the other in time to adopt and follow out proper measures to ayold the disaster. As it was the duty of the steamer to take care of the schooner and avoid her in passtug, assuming that she kept her course, the onus rests upon the steamer to show phat she did not Keep it, or some other fault thay 08 ributed to the collision, This she has undertaken, and insists that she clan; course as the two yesseis ap) 1 ior ad vl ir, ogenta thereby defe Ve) net Of mo, te latter in id hoarding der her (the schooners) stern, t peut the same time and giving way in the pid ci |. THe wale defence furr fate position, ‘he court below found tt oie! fault and dismissed the libel on this id. Al the best examination we have been adj five ne case we regret to say we cannot coneanig id opin- fon. We are forced to the conclusion that this m6v6- menj of the schooner was made under pending danger and in extremis, ana for which the steamer niust be held responsible, The clear weight of the proofs is that the steamer was within from 300 to 400 ‘ards of the schooner when the latter ported her elm and nearly dead ahead. The coinbined speed of the two vessels was about twelve or thirteen miles an hour. They must have come together in one and @ quarter of a minute, or less than two, after the change of course of the schooner, ‘The second mate of the steamer (Cowen) says that he went up on the forecastle on hearing the schooner reported; that he then firat saw her; that it was about five minutes after he saw her the collision oc- a aug curred; that the schooner was about a quarter of & mile of wien he first saw her; that gle was very close when she crossed the steamer’s bow, and he adds—“‘As near ag | can judge she (the schooner) was not more than the length of our ship—260 or 800 feet—when she altered her course.’? The second maie of the steamer says that the schooner was only 250 or 300 feet of when the change took pl and the quartermaster and the whoel- man say that the schooner did not change her course till after the captain blew the whistie. ‘This witness also says that the schooner was but a very short dis- tance oif when he first saw her; that the whistle was blown @ very short time after this; that it was atill later when the schooner firat changed her course; that he did not starboard her helm, and, of co made no ¢! in the course of the steamer after the whistle was blown. The pilot of the s‘eamer agrees with the hands on the schooner that the lat- ter was not over = yards off when she changed her course, and, according to his account of the transac- tion, the schooner, when ber light was first discover- ed, Was supposed by him and the master to be av at anchor, and that they steered directly toward her, tll they discovered she was under , When they starboarded the helm. Upon the io we feel & very strong conviction upon the evidence that the steamer had approached so near the schooner before her ohange of course that there was not only a well grounded fear of @ collision, but that there was actual danger of it. The river at the place of the Petters is from four to five miles wide. There was, therefore, no excuse for the steamer in her near approact to schooner in p: her, was abundance of room, clear of all obstructions, to have giving to hera wide berth. The truth geems to be that thé schooner Was not discovered by the steamer till very near her. The master would not say a ig of thong strongly pressed. Some of the hands say @ mile, @lthough the evening was not dark and a vessel’s lights could have been seen two or three miles with- out loulty. seems to me ex: lated between the master an: the plot ac. cording to the were giving o1 at the time of the disaster, and the master serongly intimates that the pilot was incompetent. Stili the wheelman says he his orders from the pilot end the lookout he communicated with the same, and even the » Hilton, says he obeyed bis orders. ie decree below reversed and refoi UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT—IN ADMIRALTY.

New York has many desperate scoundrels tn ite midst who, although they have not the crime of murder resting upon their consciences or perhaps have never been committed to prison for of- fences against the law, and nevertheless the meanest of all specimens of criminal humanity. They are those who make it a business to tle in wails for the young girls who are necessitated to work ig stores and factories for their livelihood, and, by threats or persuasion or means only known to such, villains, thus effect their ruin.
