IT (Tit DAY. JNO ON A Harmonious GatherluK Which Noon Disposed or the BuNlne«« Be fore It— Bdkraplilcal Nkctchen or BlMhop« Nmllh and l.ee. The death of the Right Rev. Benjamin Bosworth Smith, on Satnrday at his resi dence in the city of New York, leaves Bishop Lee of Delaware, the senior and presiding bishop ot the Protestant Kpioopal ohuroh. Bishop Smith was born at Bristol, R.I., on June 13th, 1794, and therefore laoked ouly a few days of having attained the venerable age of 90 years. He was grad uated at Brown University in 1816 ; ordained deaoon in 1818 and preBbyter iu 1819. He was flrBt settled at Marblehead, MasB.,aud afterwards snooeasively in Aoco county and Charlestown, Va., Middle bury, Vt., Philadelphia and Louisville, Ky. Daring bis residence in the latter oity he was elected bishop of the die ol Kentucky, and was uonseorated Octo ber 31st, 1832, in St. Paul's Chapel, New York, the venerable Bishop White par tioipa'ing iu the servioes, to that the terms of these two, 49 and 61 years, ro speotively, together fill np the century of the organization in Amerioa. At the same time and plaoe there were three others oonseorated, the last of whom died re than 11 years ago. Bishop Smith has been compelled elnoe 1872 by age and infirmity to abandon the episcopal charge ol his diocese there having been some years before an assist ant bishop. Since that time he has re sided in New York. He succeeded Bishop Hopkins iu 1868 as the presiding bishop, and in 1874 beoame also the senior bishop of the Anglioan communion. During the last two Bussions of the general conven tion Bishop Smith has been unable to preside or take part in the sessions of the honse of bishops, and Bishop Lee per formed most of the time in 1880, and tirely in 1883,the duties which have devolved upon him. The Right Rev. Alfred Lee, like his tiredeoeSBor has now beoome not only the presiding bishop of the Amerioan ohnroh, but the senior bishop of the entire Anglican communion. He was elected to be the first bishop of Delaware in 1841 by the unanimous vote of the clergy laity present in the annanl convention at Georgetown. Prior to that time the diocese had been ander the nnder the epidoopal supervision ot the bishops of Pennsylvania. Bishop Lee was oonseorated by Bishop Griswold, assisted by Bibhop3 Moore, Chase, Brownell and UnderdoDk, in St. Panl'B Chapel, New York, October 12th, 1841, daring the session uf the general oouvention, and took his seat on the fol lowing day In the house of bishops,being the thirty eighth in the euooessio i of the American episcopate. That brdy then oonsisted of 21 members and sided been oonseorated ïu 1811. Since the oouseoration of Bishop Lee there bad been, up to the meeting of the last general convention, 94 bishops orated, of whom 28 had died, and four had resigned their jurisdictions, so that the honse of bishops posed of 63 members, exactly three times the number when Bishop Lee took his seat. As already stated the bishop vives 28 of those whose consecration subsequent to his those who d pre by Bishop Griswold, who bad conse had I.D , while nine of his seniors have died sinoe Bishop Smith beoame the presiding bishop. Out of 132 bishops who have been seorated during the century whioh will have elapsed next November since the oonseoration of Bishop Seabnry, Bishop Lee is only the eighth who has lived to be the senior bishop. His predecessors have been Bishop Seabnry from Novem ber 14th, 1784, to February 25th, 1796; Bishop White to Jaly 17th, 1836; Bishop Griswold to February 16th, 1842; Bishop Chase to September 20th, 1862; Bishop Brownell to January 13th, 1865; Bishop Hopkins to January 9th, 1868, and Bishop Smith to May 31st, 1884 Three of them lived lo the ages of 86, 89 aud 90 respectively, and ouly on*, Bishop Saabnry,did not reaohtho present age of Bishop Lee. The rule that the senior bishop should be president was adopted by the Loose of bishops at its first meetiug as a separate house, but did uot remain without modi fication. At the next general convention this rnle was rooonsidered and rescinded, aud it was determined that the office should be held in rotation beginning from tbe north, and Bishop Provoost presided during tbe session and under tbe rule Biabop White in 1795, and also in 1799 in the absenoe ot the bishop wluse turn it would have been, he was requested to preside. Again iu 1801, doubt having arisen in regard to tbe meaning of the rule adopted in 1792, it was resolved "that until tbe 6ame shall be considered e.ud explained by this bouse the Right Rev. Biabop White be requested to preside at the present session." At tbe t session in 1804 it a "staudiug mle" that the senior bishop present at the opening of any oonveniiou should preside Under this rule Bishop White then for years the senior, took hiB seat. Finally in 1832 it made a rale that the senior bishop present should be the pre Bidlog in the House, and that the bishop of the ohuroh should be the pre siding bishop for all other pu'poses con taiued in the cannons. This rnle has sinoe been adhered to. dor Itlcfan 1 ley Haut Asyl By order of Judge Eloook the couvioted trans assailant, Sinolair MoCanlley Lrred Thursday from the ocuaty prison, Philadelphia the asylum for the insane at Norristown.
