Jlichmmut jjisptch. THURSDAY OCTOBER 29, 1868. I'BOTKSTAXT episcopal <je\k RAI. C'OXVKXTIOX. 0)\( I.USION OF MONDAY'S PROCEEDINGS TltK CREED. Hov. Dr. Adams said, in rcfcronco to the snbiect which was referred to in the mora ine! of omitting the word 14 holy " from the Nioene Creed, that the English Church had likewise made the omission, and he did not yee that if competent for them to med dle with the subject without nu understand ir;c with the highest authority ? the mother Church of England. l>r. Adams submitted thq following : " Resolved (the House of Bishops con curring), That the General Convention of the Protestant Episcopal Church of the United States would respectfully solicit from the I'ppcr and Lower House of the Convention in t he 1 nglish Church information as to the time nnd occasion when the word 44 holy " tt. is omitted in the prayer-book version of the Nit one Creed, by what authority it was done, and what reason ? doctrinal or prac tical?lies at the bottom of the action, and onier that this be done with due respect to our venerable mother of the Church of Eng land." in is resolution was referred to the Com mittee on the Prayer Book. NKW DIOCESES. The report of the Joint Committee on the Formation and Admission of .New Dioceses was then presented. It restored the canon proposed by the Committee of the House of Deputies on this subject to the Constitution. It originally belonged to article f>. It also allows six parishes and six presbyters en titled to vote for a Bishop to apply for a division of dioceses, which shall require the consent of the Bishop and the Diocesan and General Conventions before being established. The vote on the adoption of the report was taken by dioceses and orders, and it was adopted. DIVORCE. The following report of the Committee on the Canon of Divorce was then submitted : "The Committee on Canons, to whom was referred message No. 32 of the House of Bishops, on the subject of divorce, and to whom the canon proposed by them was recommitted with certain amendments, beg leave to report the following resolution for adoption by this House : " Resolved, That this House concurs in the resolution submitted to the House on message No. 32 of the House of Bishops, amended as follows: 4 No minister of this Church shall solemnize matrimony in any case where there is a divorced wife or hus band of either party still living; but this canon shall not be held to apply to the inno cent party in a divorce for the cause of adultery, or to parties once divorced seeking to be united again.' " Kev. Mr. Labar, of Iowa, presented some cases that may arise where the Legislatures alone can, and do ordinarily, give divorces ? namely, cruelty, mysterious disappearance, habitual drunkenness, bigamy, &c. He pro posed that a standing committee of each diocese be appointed to examine all cases of re-marriage. Tabled. Dr. Mahan, of Maryland, stated that the canon is worded in the language of the Lord and fcaviour himself. He thought the word ing of the canon should be that " no mar riage could in any case take place where a former husband or wife is still living." The canon was then adopted as reported from the committee. SHOUT rRATER*. Rev. James A. Harold, of Florida, moved the following : "Resolved, That the House of Bishops be respectfully requested to prepare and set forth for morning and evening prayer a short service, framed after the primitive and ancient liturgies, which ma}' be allowed fur use on other days than Sundays ; and also that the House of Bishops revise the lecturing for the service of Lent." In support of this resolution he btated that the form of morning <iud evening prayer ' was too long, and a modification would j result in having more prayers oii'ered than I are now rendered. They cannot be read in much less than three-quarters of an hour, an i many business men have not the time to spare to devote to these prayers, and con sequently they are frequently neglected or omitted, owing to their length, which would not be the case if they were shorter. Rev. Dr. Goodwin, of Pennsylvania, said that the morning and evening prayers are obligatory, and therefore the proposed reso lution was unconstitutional. He thought it was a substitution for some of the regular i and established usages of the Church, and j the idea of changing any portion of the prayer book could not be entertained for a ! moment. He stood for the prayer book as ! it is. [Applause.] The resolution of Dr. Harold was lost. RITfALISM ? MAJORITY AND MINORITY RE- j TORTS. The Committee on Canons, through Rev. I'r. Paddock, of Detroit, presented reports and resolutions in relation to ritualism : MAJORITY RESOLUTION (iIIUH CHURCH). " Resolved (the House of Bishops con curring), That with devout acknowledgment ot that gracious presence and assistance of her Divine Master which has been so sig nally vouchsafed for this Church at many a crisis more perilous than the present, en abling her. in the midst of aggressions from without, and innumerable shortcomings and extravagances from within, to maintain the integrity of her doctrine and the beauty, decency, and dignity of her worship, this Convention attributes this happy result in a great measure, under God, to that spirit of moderation which has rendered her averse to all restrictions of the liberty of her children in things indifferent or unes sential so long as un ty cau be maintained ; and spiritual edification provided in any i other way. It is the sense of this Convention, : therefore, that the enactment of any canon j on the subject of ritual would be unwise and inexpedient at the present time. But it is none the less the sense of this Conven tion that the continued maintenance of the decency and order, aa well as the peace and harmony which, by God'B blessing, have al ways characterized this Church, the avoid ances of the dangers of irreverence and lawlessness on the one hand, and of extra gance and superstition on the other ; the preservation of doctrine from the peril of intentional or unintentional change, and a due regard to the scriptural canon of walk wisely toward them which are without, require from all ministers of this Church c<'lel rating divine service in churches or other established places of worship a con- j fccieutious and, so far as may be, steadfast adherence to such vestments, ceremonies, practices, and ornaments, as by reason of long-continued use, or by authority belong ing to tui?i Church, avoiding error either by excees or by defect ; and further, that in all matters doubtful, for the avoidance of un seeming disputes and contradictory prac ticc-f-;, which tend neither to the good name or tj godliness, reference should be made to the Ordinary, and no changes should bo made against the godly counsel and judg ment uf the Bishop. " By order of the committee. " Wm. Cooi'ek Mkai>, Chairman." The reading of this report was followed by applause. MINORITY RK80LUTI0N8 (l/)W CHURCH). "1. Resolved, As the sense of this Con vention, the House of Bishops concurring, that the maintenance of our wonted uni formity and simplicity in worship is ex c< t<iiiigly desirable to secure this Churoh ( from the insidious introduction of unsound , doctrine, from the disturbance of the peace u^d comfort of its worshippers, and from i exooauro to evil report among them who are without. "2. Jiesolvtd, That while there is no absolute directory in the canons or rubrics of the Church specifying all official vest ments and practices and nil ecclesiastical ornaments which maj bo fitly usod therein, yet there is the indication of great sim plicity; and the traditional usngo of the Church in this behalf, from the date of its organization here to the present period, ie in conformity therewith, and has in the hearts and minds of the great body of its loyal members the force of law. "3. Resolved , That this Convention af fectionately urges upon all who lmvo to do with the ordering of the appointments of public worbhip that they abide by the tra ditions and ceremonies of this American Church ; that none other tlina the "cleri cal habit " known to our fathers and re ferred to by the House of Bishops at the General Convention of 184 i as appropriate to ministers officiating in the congregation, hands, gowns, and suplices, with their cus tomary appendages, cassocks and black stoles, be provided, and that no strange or naments of the sacred places conducive to vain show or superstition bo introduced. " 4. Resolved, J hat in the judgment of this Convention, the House of Bishops con curring, the business of lights in the order for the Holy Communion, the burning of incon?e, reverences to the holy table or to the elements thereon, the elevation of the element3, making the sign of the cross (ex cept when prescribed in the rubric), in and during divine service, or the celebration of the Lord's Supper, are innovations on our mode of conducting public worship, offend against the common order of the Church, and wound the consciences of many of its true and loving members. " 5. liesolved , That this Convention earn estly expresses its disapproval of the omission of any of those proprieties of ap parel and demeanor when ministering in the congregation which either rule or gene ral usage has made distinctive of our wor ship, and commends all who, being in Holy Orders, would deviate on the right band or on the left from the common -order of the Church's worship, to seek first the counsel of their bishops and submit themselves to their godly judgments. [Signed] " M. A. DkWoi.kk Howe, " John* JST. Conynoiiam. " JVew York , October 2G, 1SG8." On motion of Rev. Dr. Haight, the whole subject embraced in these reports was made the special order of the day for Tuesday at 12 o'clock. TUESDAY MORNING'S PROCEEDINGS. The committee to whom was referred a resolution to change the title of the Con vention by dropping the words " clerical and lay " reported against such alteration. The report was accepted. The Committee on Canons presented re ports in favor of a free interpretation of the prayer book and against any change in the time of probation of applicants to lioly Or ders. Both reports were accepted. A message was received from The House of Bishops in effect that they had adopted a resolution looking to the publication of the prayer book in German, French, and Spanish. The Rev. Milo Mahan, of Maryland, for the Joint Committee on the Russo-Greek Church, which had been appointed by the Convention of 1SG2, and continued by that of 1865, submitted an interesting report; which was read by the secretary. The report terminated with a resolution continuing the same committee, with in structions to report again to the Convention of 1871. The report was accepted and the resolu tion was carried. Dr. A. N. Littlejohn, for the Committee on the Domestic and Foreign Missionary Society, submitted an elaborate report on the subject committed to their charge. The report was accepted, and so much of it as touched upon the Freedmen's Commission referred to the Board of Missions. Several messages were read from the House of Bishops ? one of which concurred in the proposed amendment to canon 2 of title 2. The committee to whom was referred a canon proposed by the Rev. Dr. Adams, prescribing certain hymns to be sung, re ported, and substituted therefor a resolution declaring that until the collection of hymns be revised it shall be lawful to sing any hymns from the books known as " Hymns Ancient and Modern " aud " Hymns for Church and Home,", with the consent of the bishop of the diocese. An amendment was offered to strike out the nine last words. Dr. Adams bravely defeuded his canon and enumerated several reasons why it should be preferred to the resolution re ported. This resolution awakened a wide debate. The Rev. Dr. Peterkiu, of Virginia, gave a humorous account of some grammatical and rythmical errors in some of the ac cepted hymns. Another member advocated this two-wing system, which permitted a choice to be made from either book. Another member preferred to have greater restrictions on hymn singing. Another said if a choice was offered the least proper would often be selected. A motion to lay on the table was lost. A motion to refer the resolutions again to the Committee on Canons was lost. A motion to adopt Dr. Adams's canon as a substitute was lost. The motion to amend by striking out the last nine words was lost, and the resolu tion as reported by the committee was passed. Princeton College ? Inauguration of President McCosh. ? Princeton , JV. J., Oc tober 27. ? The inauguration of Dr. McCosh was attended by an immense concourse of graduates and friends of the college. The largest number of alumni ever gathered assembled, and business was entirely sus pended. The procession moved at noon from the college chapel to the church, which was densely crowded. Governor Ward presided, and stated the object of the meeting in a few remarks complimentary to Dr. McCosh and the noble college, which he pronounced the peer, if not the superior, of any institution of learning in the na tion. Proceedings then followed in accord ance with previous announcement The New Atlantic Ca-le. ?

The Com missioner of Patents has ordered that here after applicants 6hall not be allowed to withdraw original applications for the pur pose of amendment, but when it is desired to amend an application a copy of the origi nal must be had of the office for such pur pose. Parties filing papers in the office vail save themselves and the office much trouble by retaining copies of their papers to use in caae amendment or alteration should beoomo necessary.

Fourteenth street from Third to Fifth avenue was illuminated with calcium lights. The grand stand, fronting Broadway, was drapftl with the American flag, and about it was inscribed, " We know no such word as fail." Tam many Hall was filled to overflowing. It was splendidly decorated with flags, transparen cies, and significant mottoes. He said he bore to the Democracy of the city of New York the greetiugs of their brother Democrats of the West, who would wring from their adversaries the victory in November. He favored generosity and kindnesB toward the South. He desired this for the good of the North as well as the South. He then proceeded to discuss the reconstruction acts with the view of show ing their unconstitutionality. He said that the outcry against himself was a contempti ble electioneering pretence. If elected, he would have neither the disposition nor the power to inaugurate a revolutionary policy. To Moneyed Men? Election of Sey mour and Blair. ?

Madrid, October 27. ?

The ministerial bill, fixing the basis as to numbers and equipments of the arm}' and navy when on a war footing, after much opposition, has been passed. It is said Baron Von Buest gave members secret reasons why the bill should pass, and the rumor creates some uneasiness. It is asserted that in a speech, in secret session, urging the adoption of the measure the Prime Minister alluded to the good relations which existed between Aus tria and the other great Powers, but inti mated that in the event of a war between France and Prussia Austria must be ready to guard her own neutrality. The Disturbances in Cuha. ? Havana , October 27. ? Captain-General Lercundi to day received a dispatch that a battle had been fought on the Corbromaestre between the regular troops and the insurgents. The latter were defeated, losing many horses and three prisoners. The insurgents car ried away their killed and wounded. Tub Liberal Plan fob Ireland. ? Mr. Gladstone, the leader of the Liberal party in England, made a speech very recently in Lancashire, in ?which he discussed espe cially the proposed disestablishment of the Irish Church ? i. c., the abolition of the Episcopal Church as a government esta blishment in Ireland. In the course of hie speech he said : " I suppose that if there be any friends of Protestantism that are worth its having they are those who are inspired by some belief in its truth ; and if there be any men that have any belief in its truth, I think their desire will be that the Church of Rome, and the Church of Eng and, and the Church of the Presbj'teriaus, and every other Church, under the circum stances in which Ireland is placed, should meet on a fair and level lield and iree from the odious recollections and the pain ful associations that must attend every sys tem where the one party has necessarily hanging about it the sense and the spirit of ascendancy, and where the other carries with it all the recollections of wounded l'eelinge, resulting from oppression that last ed for ages long. Gentlemen, the question is a great issue lor you to connider and to decide. I think that we have done our duty in the endeavor to lay it before you. Its gravity is not to be disguised. It is said that we, for sooth, have made it a party question. Well, gentlemen, at all events you know this, that when we charged ourselves with the ques tion of reform, and when we found that we must abandon either the question of reform or our offices, we determined to abandon our offices. [Loud cheers.] After that, we are not to be driven back by these idle impuni ties. We have made our appeal fairly, openly, in the face of day, to the people In England to abolish the Church of Ireland as an establishment, with every considera tion that equity can give in the arrange ment of the measures necessary for the exe cution of our designs? to abolish along icith it every other fraud that involved the titute in the responsibility of connection with any particular religion ? and to establish no other Church and no other form of religious teaching in its place, after we shall have done all that equity and indulgence can re quire in winding up this great scheme of policy." Aeratei> 13uead. ? In Baltimore, a ba kery has been started to furnish aerated bread, or, in other words, light and whole some bread made without )<eaet. In Phil adelphia this bread has in a groat measure taken the place of ordinary bakers' bread, and several extensive establishments are engaged in its manufacture. ' We have par taken of the article manufactured in Bal timore, and find it very superior. It is claimed for it that it will not 6our, and that a loaf of it contains ten per cent, more of nutrition than ordinary bakers' bread. ? Baltimore American. The New York Evening Mail says bottlee are no longer on the table of faahionable dinner parties? all the wines, with the ex ception of champagne, being served in glass pitchers of handsome workmanship.

They then es caped, locking the agent in. ? Special dis patch to the Evening Telegraph. General McClellan. ? We learn from the Newark Courier that the executors of Ed win A. Stevens's will have employed General McClellan at an annual salary of $10,000 a year to superintend the completion of the famous Stevens battery at Hoboken, and which, when afloat, is to be tendered as a tree gift to the State of New Jersey. As no limit is specified for the completion, the General will have a splendid opportunity to develop that engineering skill of which he is the undoubted possessor. Finis in Boston*. ?

I,OHSIANA. New Orleans and St. Bernard Parish Quiet ? Order from General Rousseau. New Orleans, October 28. ? Tho city ie quiet, and as far as heard from bo is St. Bernard parish. The following order was issned this evening by General Rousseau : 14 Headquarters Department Louisiana j 11 and Arkansas, > 11 New Orleans, October 28, 18C8. ) " To the People of New Orleans , La. : " Fellow-citizens, ? T have received in structions from the authorities at Wash ington to take such action a3 may be necessary to preserve peace and good order and protect the lives and property of the citizens. As the city is quiet to-day, I think it a proper time to call upon the law abiding citizens to aid me hereafter in car rying out these instructions ; and to that end they are earnestly requested to refrain from assembling in large bodies on.the streets, to avoid excited conversation and other causes of excitement, and to pursue their ordinary vocations as usual. " The police force of the city has been reorganized, and. inefficient members have been dropped from the rolls and others ap pointed in their places, and General J. B. Steadman has been appointed chief of po lice by the Board of Police Commissioners. " General Steadman and his police force will be supported by the military ond as surance is given alike to the peaceful and the lawless that everything at my command, and to the utmost of my ability, will be used in the endeavor to obey these in structions. " For the present, political processions and patrrling the streets by armed men are prohibited. Lovell H. Rousseau, * 11 Brevet Major-General Commanding Dis trict." The Metropolitan Police Board desired to suspend Superintendent Williamson, but he refused to be suspended, and was ac cordingly arraigned for dismissing the ne gro policemen without consulting the Board, plead guilty, and was dismissed. The Board had previously endorsed Williamson in the course for which he was dismissed. Gen eral Steadman, at General Rousseau's re quest, has acceptcd the position pro tern. and is allowed to choose his own subordi nates. The City Council this evening setting forth the unconstitutionality of the Metro politan Police law, and directing the Mayor to organize a municipal police under the charter of the city, Mayor Conway imme diately conferred the appointment of Chief on General Steadman. The report about the First United States infantry, telegraphed here from Washing ton, excites the indignation of its officers, who denounce the letter (calling it a partly rebel regiment) as a malicious falsehood. The regiment was recruited almost entirely from discharged United States soldiers, and not a siugle man ever served in the Con federate army. The number of recruits don't exceed five per cent, of the enlisted men, and they were received from north ern recruiting States. The Washington Star's article, though speaking of enlisted men, is regarded as an insult to the officers and retlection on the discipline of the regi ment. Washington >'cws. Washington, October 28. ?
