ManRID, Oct. 10, 1868. In accordance with tions received by tele- graph Mr. Hale, Mintster of the United States, ob- tained an interview yesterday with the Duke de la ‘Torre, President of the Provisional Council, and Don Juan Alvarez de Lorenzana, Minister of State, to whom he delivered a speech acknowledging in the most formal manner the existence and legality of the new order of things in Spain. The following are the REMARKS OF MR. JOHN P. HA Mr. Presipent—DBy command of my goverument, Tecougnizing the fact that the people of Spain in the exercise of that high prerogative which mghtfally pertains to every people, have fundamentally chanzed their system of governtnent, in the name and on be- half of the government and people of the United States of America 1 come to oer: their congratula- tions on the quiet, efficient and thorough manner 1p Which this great change has been effected. A gov- ernment Claimmg to be founded on divine right has been overthrown and a government founded on & right still more divine, the right of the people, has been established in its place. As Spuin was among the first of the natious of the earth to hail the advent of the United States of America into the familly of nations, so now, in grateful return, they niake haste to congratulate the Spanish people on their political regeneration, In thus establishing diplomatic relations with the government over which your Excellency+presides, I recall with pleasure the | Tact that the United States and Spain have never had any differences which diplomacy has not been able to reconcile, I hardly need add that in the present circumstances no effort of mine will be spared for strengthening and rendering more cordial tie sentt- ments of sincere friendship and good will now so happily subsisting between the two nations REPLY OF THE DUKE DE LA TOR To thia his Exceliency the Duke de la Torre, dent of the Council, replied as follows: Mi. M sTER—Nothing is so grateful to ny heart as to receive mm this solemn act in the name of the Spanish people the felicttations that your Excel- lency has directed to me for the use that has been made of the prerogative emanating from its sovereignty. Having completed the first part of the work, having destroyed the obstacles that constantly opposed thernselyes tothe planting of tne institu- tions that the nation eagerly desired, the new order of things which by means of the exercise of that same sovereignty las been raised up in a little time, above that which has before existed, merits even in its day, Lam assured, the approval of your govern- ment and the sympathies of the United ‘States. Agreouble and opportune in an augmented sense is the remembrance that you invoke, and Spatu, that in these circumstances needs and no donbt will merit the assistance of alt the nations that love liberty and lave to consolidate it, accepts with peculat appreciation that of those nations which, like the magnanimous United States, m- tact its free institutions. The diplomatic relations which, by this oficial act, are coniinued between your government and that I have the honor of pre- siding over will be to-day much more mtimate and cordial, as itshould be beiween two people which have never had differences that were not amicably arranged, and that, respecting the same principles of sovereignty, exercising them successfully to es- tablish every one, atter its national peculiarity, its itustttusions in a manner permaucnt and definit The interview wes extremely cordial, and the Spanish Ministers expressed their gratification at the stand taken by the United States. They felt that it would have a beneficial effect on their relations with the great Powers of Europe, Certainly the influence on the people as far as can be observed at this time has been exccilent. It encourages them to go on with the good work that enjoys the sympathies of so powerfal a nation as the United States. Mr. Hale recalled the fact that Spain was the first 10 recog- nize the United States, and if was no more than a sense ofgustice and gratitude would dictate to re- Ir is supposed that the representatives of owing the ex- pe doubts that Prest ample set by the United States, thi Ministry represents the people of Spain. ‘ye leading men of the democratic party hada meeting yesterday to consider the attitude they onght to assume towards the new Minisury. By right they they ought to have been represented in the Ministry, but were offered only oue place, which they would not consent to accept, Cor quently thé party has not a singie one of its un it, and it is supported by the great mass of | thoughtful people. Certainly in @ Ministry of eight persons two representatives of the advanced shade of political thought are not too many; and to leave the party out altogether clearly proves that Marshai Serrano Is not the sort of man to mould the elerments developed in the revo- jution into a homogeneons mass, All this is to be regretted, but cannot be helped at present. Perhaps the Duke de la Torre will see lis mistake and correct the error he has fallen into, but it is doubtful. Untit the dem xy 1s recognized in the formation of the ment the Minyiry will find that they are | sitting on a two | stool that will require the @reatest care to Keep npright.

He spoke very hopefully of the future, It was nothing less than ® complete regeneration of the nation that waa aimed at’ in the present move- ment, Having overthrown @ — tyrannical government they would now attempt to form one based on the will of the people, jereafter they would rule, and they wouid be called upon to elect # constitutional Cortes that, should make newflaws and start the nation forward in a new path of free- dom, moral and intellectual advancement and uni- versal — . He felt sanguine of snecess tn their efforts, and they would do their utmost to carry them out. 1 ventured to remark that the Spanish people could count on the cordial friendship sympathy of the United States in their new career, and that the Americans were anxiously bse | the course of events here that #0 much for the promotion of the cause of ‘universal liberty. He expressed himself gratified with this assurance, and said that it was not unex- pected. He then added that Mr. Hale, the United States Minister, had that day asked for an interview with the Ministry in order to make an official rec aition of the new government on behaf of the gov- ernment of the United States. He seemed very mach pleased with this prompt and friendly action on the part of the Amecrican*government.

The Junta haa made Don Sefor Rivera President of (the Board of Alcuties of the city of Madrid, and the democralic party has its jet share In the muni- cipal offices. The oficial paper contains the re- sponses, sent by telegrap) by the princt- al juntas of Spain, endorsing the new Kanisiry and fally approving of the declara- tion of rights promulgated by the supertor junta of Madrid. The junias seem to be of one ac. cord in ail their proceedings, and the greatest and most eneouraging harm: prevails all over the nineo! To the Declar of Rights enunciated the Junta there were yesterday added two other ights—that of security of the tndividaal and. t- violability of domicile and of correspondence and abolition of capital punishment. ‘The bill is believed now to he complete, It is ceriainiy broad and liberal enough to sult the most radical democrat in Spain, There is but Hittie doubt that te Cories, when as. sembled, will embody these declarations im the con stitution.

Ue Miranda, Icon- sider them as addressed rather to the liperal revival of my country than to myself. Spain owes much to the French press in general and to the Gaulois in particular, Which has undertaken to show to Kurope ihe justice of the revolution, Iam happy to transmit to you Tay warmest thanks, in my own name and in that of the principles I represent, for your powerful o-operaiion, The revolution, gentlemen, follows its | peaceful course, and [ am convinced that you will do it the justice to acknowledge that it has been a pattern of moderation, As every one may see, itis tle work of Agenerous, noble and chivalrous people, who feel sure of their strength aud disdain to exercise mean reprisals on their former persecntors, | know that a few of the Paris journals have made themselves the echo of some impatient men and have pretended that we are not advancing rapidly enough. TI am astonished at such an inconsiderate judgment and bey you, gentlemen, to rectify it. What ! can a revo- luuon be called dilatory: which is only a week old and has already accomplished so much as we have? Was it a work of so little importance to overthrow & dynasty which has existed for three centuries and to establish a government In a week? In fine, gentle- men, 4s your journal has deserved the tie of Moni- | teur de la Revolution, reply to Chose insinuations and add that, now we are constituted, we shall soon consolidate the situation on the bases of oar pro- gramme. You know what itis. We hope tiat with the co-operation of the Constituent Assem- bly, which will shortly be convoked, we sha!! suc- ceed, Inu short time, in realizing It. We shall then have attained the political ideal of contemporary Spain—that is to say, a real constitutional monarchy founded on the widest Jiberal basis that this kind of government admits. Accept, &c., J. PRIM. The Presse of the 18th, commenting on Prim’s let- ter to the Gautois, snys:— Among all the parts assigned by history to the am- bition of the ctuef of inilitary revolutions, it is evi- dent that the Count de Reus has chosen that of General Monk. ‘The Constituent Cortes will probably first be required to choose between @ repubiic and a oly. Personal questions will come afterwards. ‘There are, nevertheless, grounds for believing that the candidate held in reserve by the progresistas, combined with members of the liberal uniyn, is stili Von Fernando of Portugal. The Gazette de Freie charitably assigns that place to Prim himself, and unhesitatingly accuses the General of entertaining the thought of placing himself on the throue of Spain. The writer agys:— ‘The ‘first paragraphs of this letter are only ver- biage, hut the two latter are important.

Although the English pres# affect to treat the ru- mors that the Spanish throne will probably be . offered to Prince Alfred very gingerly and amtabtly, yet it ts evident that the matter is more serious than some of these editors imagine, Unquestionably, some of the agents of the Spanish revolu- tion have been in close intercourse with the English Ambassador at Paris, and as an- questionably the Spanish Ambassador in London has been sounded upon the subject by more than one government Official. 1 do not believe that Prince Alfred will ever wear a crown, and especially the crown of Spain: but as other persons are of a different opinion tt is only fair togive you the exact phases of English sentiment upon the subject. Firs —The elevation of Prince Alfred would be very satisfactory to the Engilsh pegple generally, it would flatter thetr nations! Vanity, i wonla provide haudsomely for # Prince who has ign been a Popular favorite. It would add vastly to England’s trade and commerce. On a free vote the people of Engiand would even give up Gibraltar to see Prince Albert ihe King of Spain. Secomt—The government, as represented by Mr, Disraeli, rather encourages the idea. Disraeli would like to play Seward’s game and mark bis Premier- ship by some notable fact, like the purelase of Alaska, Lord Stanley, on the other hand, 1s opposed to the project. He looks forward to or at conti- nental complications, and prefers adopting a safc, neniral line, If he is to represeut the government in this matter Prince Alfred will be compelled to refuse Spain as he refused Greece and the Henrietta. Thivd—Prince Alfred himself is, on the whole, averse to the pian of making him Spanish monarch; but, strange to say, the Queen 1s fn favor of it. Courtiers say thai the Prince amd the Queen never agreed about anything, and that they have taken these opposing atiiindes out of personal hov- Gilly. SuMce it to say that the Queen i# on the af- Ormative side and carries with her the Prince and Princess of Wales, I. ts doubtful whether the Spanish throne will be offered to Prince Alfred; but if it be Lord Stanley's caution will be overruled and the throne accepted. The Chinese Embusay in London, A correspondent of the London Ti/nes of the 16th speaks a# follows regarding the treatment of the Chinese Embaesy at the British capital:— The Empire of China is repnied to contain 900,000,000 souls, or one-third of the inhabitants of this planet. China sends as every year more than | 100,009,000 pounds of tea, and takes from ue in the same period more than 100,000,000 vards of Manches- terand Yorkshire fabrics. English steamers reach the very heart of China by ascending the great river Yang-tze-kiang, and arrive within eighty miles of the capital by going up the Peiho. Inno country ean a Thore industrious people be found, or owe that more loves peace. If the Chinese people were warlike and | military, and led on hy ench @ general aa Alexander or Napoleon, they conid in a few years overrun the Feet of Asia, Swallow up Rusia and prodabl the remainder of Burope, even if they acted on the iocuste’ idea of ’ warfare. The policy of such @ nation must, then, be of some im- Jortance to the rest of the world, and particularly to pngiand, F have therefore been iooking dally in your columns for some account of the official recep- tion given to the Chinese Embusey now in London, aor tam driven to the conclusion that the reception, if it has already been given, cannot have been of & Me 4 briliiant or impreasive character, If the Hereditary Grand Duke of Stiff-nnd-Stark- ensteln, wioso dominions consi#t of Lalf a dozen square miles, predestined to ho gobbled up by Prus- sla, and whose exports to England are represented by some thonsand dozens of Seltzer water and A few gross of meerschanm Pn per annum, had poid us ® visit, © epecial train would have conveyed his Serenity from Southampton to London, @ cepn- tation of directors would have been in attendance at each railway terminus: her Majesty's carri ae pase perhaps quadron of Life Guards, would have conveyed the iliustriows stranger to Windsor; he would fe dined in «tate at the Man- sion House, and feasted with civic Ber tr hone ‘ivic companies, 'presentatives of one. manki we have no national elcome to offers oborall ve hear of them they might be a group of Private gon- Uemen who had come to London to see the Tower and Madame Tussqud’s waxworks, I know enough of Chinamen to feel ee confident about their e subject, and ifit be our aim to hu: them Qur policy is likely to meet cessity of maintaining the monarchy in Spain, But | with entire suoceas, But the Americans, who not bad judges in such matters, acted on quite 9 different principle when they had such an oppor- tanlty 83 We are now t tans muy live to prof-by, end we deplore tke as Ins we wi a trust that will probably be drawa in Peking’ Dreadfal Boller Explosion in South Stafford- shire. {From the Liverpool Post, Oct. 13.)

[From the London Standard, Oct. 14.} ‘The battle of the elec:ions in Ireland possesses points of interest altogether apart from any calcula- tion as to the number of seats secured in that couniry to one side or the other. * * * To Ireland, then, we turn to get some assistance in estimating the re- sults witch are to reward us there for all the risks we seem to run at this side of the Channel, In Ireland one would expect that at least the sacri- fice is appreciated; that the Roman Catholic ple do at least take an interest in the question ed in their behalf, Where are they? The priests are active enough, The Papal garrison in that country has no diviaed mind on the question. Gladstone or nothin; is their cry. The liberal tools of the Irish pricsth have often excused the prominence of their clerigal patrons in political matters on this plausible ground that the people were so little satisfled with anything that Parliament offered, hoped so little from English legislation that they took no interest in political affairs, and the popular political organization wouid have fallen Ld § and given place to Fenian cabals, were it not that the constitutional interests of the priests kept the battle Folng wntil une liberal party should he strong eno to do something for ireland. When the struggle of emanelpation waxed really warm, especially when England was found to be in earnest in the battle, the Irish people assembled in their strength. They were not marshalled by the priests.

The valley of the Po is entirely inundated. The fearful effects of the storm commenced at Faido, Roads were washed away by the torrents dexcendmg from the moun- tains. The village of Giornico 1s partially washod aw: or buried from twelve to fifieen feet under masses of mud and sand, The whole village of Bodio was swept through by the torrent, and many of the remaining houses were crushed by an avalanche, killing twenty persons. The valley of the Ticino has been devastated and every vestige of cultivation removed, many »arts being now bat huge masses of rock. The St. Gotlard road is de- stroyed in several places; the Bernardino and Splugen are broken, the great bridges destroyed and the Simplon road 1s covered for many leagues sev- eral fathoms deep tn water. On the Lago Maggiore the water has risen to a terrible height and many of the large houses are inundated to the second story. ‘The railway station at Arona is submerged and oniy the roof and the tops of the telegraph poles are vis- idle, In North Italy the only practicable road is now over the Mont Cents. Never in the memory of man has such calamity ocourred.

In an instant the water reached the first story of the houses; the gates of Montova and Boschetto were thrown down, and two frightful torrents poured along the arijoint streets. Happily the stream took the direction angadizza and spread in the valleys, hardly rea’ the village of San Pietro.

Great Trot Between American (irl, Rhede island and George Wilkes—American Girl the Winner. A northeast wind and a lowering atmosphere ushered in the second day's sports of the autumnal meeting at the Fashion Course. This of itself was sufficient to deter many from visiting the course, added to which was the lack of railroad facilities, As & consequence the attendance was not so large as it would otherwise have been on the occasion of so interesting an affair as a contest between three of the best horses in the country—American Girl, Rhode Isiand and George Wilkes, the two first Bashaws and the latter @ Hambletonian. Those who were not present will regret their absence, for a finer trot has seldom taken place, it being very fast and re- markably well contested throughout. ‘This was # purse race for $1,000, $800 to the frst and $200 to the second horse, mile heats, best three iu five, In harness. Five heats were trotted, the two first being won by Mr. Amasa Sprague’s brown stallion, Rhode Island, driven by Dan Mace, and the three last by Mr. Lovell’s bay mare American Giri, driven by Hiram Howe, who exhibited s0 much tact and shill throughout the race as to baMe by his consummate generalship the best laid plat of opponents, who used every effort in their power to defeat him. Mr. Simmons’ brown stallion George Wilkes, driven by William Borst, did not come up to general expectation. He was the favorite before the start and after the first heat, but although he trotted fast and was close up to bis opponents, yet he did not succeed in winuing a single neat. Many were ot opinion, however, that he was justly entitled to the last heat, which he trotted faithfaliy throughont and was only beaten by head by American girl, who had done considerabie rouning daring ite progress. We mentioned above that Rhode Island and American Girl were Bashaws and Wilkes @ Hatn- bletonian. Rhode Island was bred in Ohio and brought to Long Isiand several years ago by Warren Peabody, and wae then called Dan Rice, His sire was Cassius M. Olay, Jr, but of his dam we know nothing. At the time he made his advent on the island as a trotter his uncouth Ca pearance and apparent awkwardness were tly against him. Since then be has been gradually im- ving in form and speed notil, at length, he has Become not only an elegant horse, but one of ihe fastest trotting stallions in the country. In fact, taking his race of yesterday as ® standpoint, we know of none that can beat him. ‘The recent = formances of American Girl have given her a high reputation. Like Rhode Isiand she was got by Ons- sius M. Clay, her dam being also unknown. Her first appearance as a trotter was in Dutchess county in this State, (rom whence she came to Long Island. She is still young, ifr only six years of age, and is 80 constantly improving in her trotting action that she will have few equals in the fature. She has had rather too much work for so large and young @ mare, and it is high time that she bad a let up in her training. A winter's BS ed with skiiful management, will be a great advantage to her in the future and prevent that loas of effective action which w sure ¢0 follow over-taxed exertion. George Wilkes, we have said, did come up to the expecta- tions of his backers, but he did quiie as well as shore best acquainted with him could reasonably look for, as at the best he i a very winreliable horse, He had reached his highest point as a trotter about the time he first a on the race track in his match with Ethan Allen over the aarae ground on which he trot- ted yesterday. Since then he has not improved in speed, and ithe hopes of his friends have never been realized, He is undoubtedly a horse of great epced, but lacks constitutional vigor to maintain it. * ‘There wae also a second trot at the Fashion Course, or rather a part of a trot; for It was incomplete and had to be postponed on account of the darkness. It was for a of $200 to the first and $60 to the second horse, mile heats, best three in five, in harness, There were six entries for thia race, but three of them only put in an appearance when called ‘These were Mr. Jonee’ bay stallion Pear- sali, Col gelding Bayard and Mr. omnia’ biack mare Soubrette, ‘Two heats were trot. b winning the first and Pearsall the to have more 4) second, brette | ai peed than liner of the other two for a certain distance, but to win a heat, Pearsall is a very hand- some Bashaw ion, sired by Dr. Rich’s Ja- iter, ond is @ full brother of the famous mare a mma. possesses a great turn of speed, but q and inexperienced.

Going down the backstretch the latter trotted very fast, but broke up by trying to take the pole when there was not room for her to do so; yet she did not lose much ground, for she was steadied in an instant, and as Rhode Island and Wilkes passed the ha!f-mile pole she was at their wheels, Time, 1:103,.

Bishop Odenheimer, of New Jereey, pronounced the benediction. ‘The minntes of the previous meeting were read and approved. Mr. Weish stated that the House of Bishops wilt not be abie to get through the business before them until Tharsday evening next. As to the possibility of retaining 8 quorum to that time, as many mem- bere desire to go home, he stated that if eighteen dloceses are represented by one deputy, either a cler- gyman or layman, the House is competent to trana- act business, : After a number of minor matiers bad been dis- posed of » resolution of the Bishops, providing for the publication of the Prayer Book in the German, French and Swedish languages, was concurred in. INTERCOMMUONION WITH THE RUSSO-GREBK CHURCH. ‘The joint committee appointed at the Convention of 1362 and continued at the session in 1865 made a lengthy report through Rey. Dr. Mahan, who has the matter in charge on behalf of the Lower Honse, It was read by the Secretary and was listened to with profound attention. It detailed the conferences of high Russian ign itaries and prelates and Eng- lish archbishops and prominent Americans. ‘The balance of the morning session was consumed ‘with suggestions as to changes in the hymnal of the Charch, in metrical paalmody and in hymnods, and at one P.

WETUALISM. ‘The order of the day was then taken ap, being the report of the Committee on Canons on Ritualism, The ayers of the majority of the committec—as pub- lished in yesterday's HagaLp—was then read, and Judge Conyngham moved to substitute therefor the resolutions submitted by himself and Rev. Dr, De- ‘wolfe Howe, as the minority of the committee, and these resolutions were read, a4 follows:—, ‘Whereas it has heretofore heen one of the peoultar charac Protestant Ki teristics tractions of the opal Church that ite inj the mode of conducting it bare been in all intially alike, #0 that evary child of the Church fn any one of her sanctuaries found @ familiar spiritual home; wud wherens it has been expecially distinctive of this Church that while it has avoided the baldness of moat of the |.modea of Protestant worship it has still more decidedly put ‘away the many-colored veatments, excessive ceremonial mid faled aymbolen \of s forelgn Church with which it te not in mnion ; therefore ‘As the senso of this Convention the House of Bishops concurrin:— that the maintenance of our wonted tnt. formity aod sirap!icity in rane je excondingly desirable, to fecitre this Church From the tusidions Introduction of in sound doctrine, from the disturbance of the peace a " fort of tis worshippers, ‘and from exposure to evil report among them who are without.

Uniformity of the worship is the great advantage of the Church, and it is songkt to be broken into by the introduction of various forms, There is no variety in the words used but im the appendages and other sensuous things.

He them told of a SORE FISCRLAE entering a strange church asking for the bearings of the com ashe was accustomed to reverence always to east, Where is the necessity for all this? Let us rest on what we ne when the Church was organized let us abide py it. dudge Otis, of Illinois, spoke against the substt- tute. This Church cannot legislate by resolution, No clergyman can be tried for violating a resolution, Resolutions are Vrvi@ fulmina, and hinder no cler- gyman from doing 4s he pleases. It is unwise to ex- press an opinion which can have no force upon the consciences of the clergy. At the present time we are not prepared to legisiate upon these matters. in the Chureh of England some things denounced im the substitute as unlawful have been claimed to be lawful since the Reformation, ‘The American Church isa branch of the English Church, in full commu- nion, a3 much now as anterior to the Revolution. What was lawful in that Church was lawful im the American branch, which was not a new Church when first established at Jamestown, Va. It was not made # new Church by the Reformation, but dates back to the Apostles, and in its purity isam Apostolic Church. Let therefore those who want to worship with high ceremonial do 60, and those who prefer bare simplicity let them have it, so that pitied overstep the line of the dogmas of the Chureh, Mr. Samuel B. Ruggles had pleaded for tolerance, when a court of appeals was proposed to bring everything within the Kay fron fraine of its rules. ‘The ‘Church exists not in uniformity, but in diver- sity. Even piahope ditfer and defect point or two in the direction of Rome or Geneva. No unvarying equatorial line between Romanism and Calvanism can be maintained, ‘The chief attraction of the Church for the laity is its variety and toleratior seeking not by force jbut by love to elevate an save. Rome, seeking to enforce uniformity in North- ern Europe, lost the best portion of her faithful. He begged the clergy to vote for toleration, ev. Dr. R. S. Mason, 0: North Carolina, was for the ae There ae fesipca fg oa el bit iat some time ago this tendency amounting almost to snogspee. At this time the tendency fs again to the oppos ite extreme, He was exceedingly glad that the minority express his own opinions and b! ht their report to the House, Rev. Dr. Haight, of New York, could not concur im the views of the minority, because of certain allega- tions not founded in truth and infact. Worship and the mode of conducting 1t have not been in all places substantially alike, and the speaker mentioned the pnces in the service in New York and ee reicethia, Dr. Haight then continued that the minority claim that the ritual of this Church has not been changed. Fifty years ago there was still a clerk in Trinity church, who said the responses, and very seldom was there a public baptism in those days. These things have ail changed, the clerk’s deak is gone, and the clerk him- self, that detestable nuisance, has not been heard of for thirty years. Communion was administered only six or Seven times a year; now it 1s monthly. He referred to this to show the fallacy of t) minority report. He was always in favor of tolera- tion; in this he followed Bishop Hobart and his suc- cessors, and did they persecute any man? Look at— Here the hammer fell. ‘harles Brech, of Delaware, would say that to a parish where snrplice alone (no no band) was worn for 240 years. He re- ferred to the fact that at Brooklyn and at baltimore and other places he saw the same service at which Judge Conyngham saw him officiate thirty years ago. Judge Edward McCrady, of South Carolina, denied emphatically that this is the Church of Engiand. Are we the Church of Scotland? Does not every one know that we reseinble that Church more? The Ohurch of Alexandria differed from the Church of Jeca- salem, of Antioch, of Kome, and all were apostolic; so do we differ from the Church of England more than from the Church of Scotland. They were just aw much bound to the iiturgy of the Church of Jerusa- lem or of Antioch as to that of the Church of England. ieev. Dr. James Mulchahey, of hr maroon favored the majority report, not in the interest u! any party orfChurch faction, but in the interest of the country parishes and country ministers, The people know very little, and if t be left alone would know less, about these ritualistic dificuities. Rev. Dr. Dekover, of Wisconsin, called the atten- pea f the — to leg bhserad resolution of the mi- nority report, as giv! 8 WI impression. ‘The House of Bishops fh 1814 did make no provision for vestments, but only declared it Oey for lay readers to wear vestments. But e Conven- tion of 1814 the declaration was made on May 20 by the bishops that the Episcopal Church is the same body known as the Church of England, but ti- cally severed from the Old Country, and the of Deputies concurred in the declaration, Rey. Dr, Andrews, of Virginia, and Rev. Dr. Good- win spoke both in favor of the minority report; the latter gentleman declaring that if the Convention will not put its seal of condemnation upon this ab- —- of ritualism he would go home with a sad eart. Rev. Dr, Charles Cotesworth Pinckney, of South Carolina, considered 1! not a question of mere vest- ments, but a matter of deep concern. We are now a reunited Church in a reunited country, but he feared that ritualism may sow the seed of future differences and perhaps disruption. ‘the debate continued at length by Rev. Chris- topher B, Wyatt, of California; Rev. Dr. Frederick D. Huntington, of Massachusetts; Mr. James R. Fair- | raron'9 of Tennessee, and others. It was now tought that a vote would be reached on the motions ra Dr. William Pinckney, of Mary- bate by declaring that while the minority had only eyes for one side—ritualists— they overlooked the other side, where the service is defective. At this stage Rev. Erastus F. Dashiell, of Maryland, moved the indefinite postponement of subject.
