Morning prayer was said by the Rev. JAKES STO XEY ; and, immediately after, the Convention tva? called to order by tho Bishop. Tho Minutes of yestorday were .road and ap? proved. The names of members absent yesterday were called, and, of the Clergy, the Eevs. A. GLENNIE, L. F. GUEBHY, WM. JOHNSON, JOHN JOHNSON, L. C. LANCE, J. J. S HAND, JAKES STONEY and K. S. TBA FTEB ; and, of tho Laity, Messrs. It. H. ANDESEOS, M. KE?NOLDB. AMORY COFFIN, found to be present. Tho Committee on Certificates of Lay Deputies, reported the following additional Deputies entitled to seats, viz : From St Matthew'sFarisb-B.D. Stuart :. g From Church on Edisto Island-W. M.;BaSeytJ : Fromi Church of . the Epiphany, Upper'St." John's-Charles Sinkler. From St. John's, Fairfield-G. J. Crafts. Their names being called,. Messrs. BAILEY, STT.-k-r.trn and CBAFTS, were found to bo present. On motion, the name of tho Bev. TH os. F. GADSDEN, omitted accidentally, was inserted on tho list of Clergymen entitled to all tho privileges of tho Convention. . The election for Standing Committee being in order, the Bev. Messrs PRINGLE and GTJEEBY wore appointed tollers or the vote of the Clergy, ana Messrs. LUCAS tind NOWELL of tho vote or the Laity. These-tellera reported the formo- cwuimteo elect e,-l in v,otl? orders. Tho. election of deputies to tho General Conven-, tion waa then ordered, arid th? Bev. Messrs. W. H. HANCKEL and L. C. LANCE were appointed tellers of the Clorical vote, and Messrs JESVEY and MEANS of tho Lay vote. The Bishop's address was thea read by Bev. C. P. ? GADSDEN. ' After tho reading of the address, the Bishop re? tired, the Bov. Dr. HANCKEL being called to the Chair. The tellers reported the former deputies and alternates elected in both Orders, with the excep? tion of one lay deputy-then^ being a tie in the lay vote between Mr. A. BOETS and A. C. HASKELL; thereupon, an election was ordered for ono lay deputy, and Mr. WABKTXT. was eiooted in both Or? ders. . Tho Trustees of the Diocesan Seminary reported as follows : The Trustees of the Diocesan Theological Sem? inary respectfully report : That the Seminary was re-opened, in October last, in the town of Spar tanburg, in the eligible building, generously pre? sented to the Diocese for this purpose, by a lay? man of Charleston. At an expenditure -of $2750, this building has, with the exception of a portion "not needed for immediate use, been put in excel? lent repair, and conveniently arrauged-for ?the' ac? commodation of tho students and'on? of tho Pr'o^ fesaors, the other Professor having a residence in the town. It consists of a contro building, the in? terior of which is tho unfinished portion, and two winers. The architecture is appropriate, and tho whole structure attractive. The Chapel and the recitation Hall and LiDrary, which are discon? nected from the main edifice, have also been put in order, and neatly furnished, so as to afford ap? propriate places for devotional exercises, for the accommodation of the books of tho Library, and for the recitations and lectures. The fences have boon impaired, and a garden laid out,' so that tho entire premises present a neat and becoming ap? pearance.- The money expended in thoso arrange? ments was a portion of that con tri buted by gener? ous .christian friends in some-of the borthern Dioceses, in response to the appeal of the Board for aid. ' The number of students is seven, who have been carefully instructed by our valued Professors, in the departments of Exegeses and Ecclesiastical History, and of Systematic. Divinity, Homiletics and Evidences of Chiiatianity. Our beloved Bishop lias, we.regretto say,, been prevented, by the enfeebled state of his health, from giving in? struction from his Department'-of Ecclesiastical Policy; but he hopes to be able to take his place soon after the adjournment of this Convent! on,and ; ?entrar upon hie work.. Wo do not dap.ra. it .HACIW sary' to go into detail in regard to the course.of study; but.it would not be doing justice to our. convictionsj if-we did not express our high esti? mate of the .ability, labor and judgment which have marked the efforts of the Professor to proparo, in the most thorough manner, for their holy . office, the candidatos committed to tlieir caro; and: which have eirne'd for them>th6 c?uffde?ic? and affection of tho Diocese. The course of study will compare favorably with that pf any Seminary; and the com? prehensive character' of- the insbrhctidn 'is worthy ! of commendation. In addition to tho labors of the two brethren who are entrusted'with- this im? portant work, our church owes a debt of christian gratitude to the Bev. Professor Lester; of Wbfford College, for his very kind and truly valuable ser? vices gratuitously rendered in instructing our students in Hebrew; for which we express our thanks; without attention in thia department, which we have been unable ourselves to supply, tho loss of the students would be great..: On tho arrangement of the remnant of tho Li? brary, rescued from the fire in Camden, and re? moved through the liberal aid of the Presidenta of ' the Bailroads between Camden and- Spartanb?rg, who afforded transportation free of charge on the . respective reads, it has been found that oar atock of. books amounts, to some 1500-Volumes in sets, completed from broken.ones; besides some 500 odd . volumes,. of several duplicate sets. -To this has - been added some valuable donations from England, which are a pleasing memento of the kind feelings entertained toward us in our mother church, and .which connect, in agreeable association, our infant ' seminary with rthe-venerable names of Canterbury,. Oxford and'Cambridge. It. ia a special pleasure to express our appreciation of such Christian sympa? thy and.aid. Nor can we forget the like considerate kindness on . the part of some of. our- Christian brethren in the Northern States. Tho supply of books.: however, especially in recent Theological ' Text Books, and volumes of reference in all de? partments, is very inadequate, and the limited means of both professors and students, makes it'- ? almost impossible for them to supply the necessary tools for their work. May we not then remind the. friends of this institution that there is no depart? ment of this plan for training tho Clergy of the : Diocese to be "able ministers of the New Testa? ment," which more imperatively appeals to them for aid. - The financial condition of, the Seminary will ap? pear from the Beport of the Treasurer, herewith submitted. The . salaries of the Professors have been paid up to the present time, but-this hoar been accomplished erny through.;Ibo generous;aid- - afforded in response to the appeal of tho Board in others Dioceses, through their earnest and inde? fatigable .Agent, the Bev. A. T. Porter, to whom the other-members of th? Board .return 'their, thanks" for his untirmg efforts:: in behalf of tho. Seminary, when, at great sacrifice to himself: and: . his Par,eh, he visited the North at our request but tor tho measure ot : success which -through O od'a blessing, -crowned his'labor,'the Seminary AiVnoWhein existence at all, "-'1 - that We would ra?Bo"u?xne -?iwkiiinn.waB. jjassed current expenses of the Institution, and upon t'?is plea of the representatives of the several congrega-, tums, ah appeal was issued by the Bishop, in Octo? ber, when the exercises were, commenced, asking contributions, according to a fixed ratio, from the several parishes. In response to this, a?>iut ?1440 has been received, . A few of the Churches have answered liberally and promise tb do ra or ? for the cause; but a great many have contributed nothing. We oro fully ?onseious of the.depressed condition, of our parishes, especially those near the seaboard;. but we cannot but continue,"in the name of our Divine Master, to .call earnestly for.aid in this im-, portant.work. If the . ministry of our Cliurch is not rocrmtedthe ranks of. our members.will'bo thinned; and if that ministry, when it is enlarged, is not soundly instructed' in the "truth as it is hr Jesus," and in such theological learning as tho times demands, and the great work ' of the "Stew? ards of God" requests, the results must be most disastrous. . - , , Nor would wo be doing our duty to the Con von-. tion if we did not express our conviction of the need of another Professor to supply departments which were -contemplated in our final organiza? tion, but which are now necessarily; 'rmectod, through' tbe^'pfessure* upon- the - present Profes? sors; This heed can only be supplied, when a "moro liberal support is granted " .c. In conclusion; we. commend the Seminary"to your sympathy and prayers. ?-? - .Bespectfully submitted ? ?- ??- '? <??...? vii :'The .election of Trustees of tho Diocesan Semi? nary was then ordered, and the Ber, Messrs, STO?

Having no money, and feeling keen? ly tho impoverished condition of tho Church in this Diocese, We have not deemed it well or expe? dient to call upon tho Church hero for assistance, but through the kindness bf brethren at the North. tho considerate'assistance of Mujor-Gen?ral O.

Howaid, and a donation from the President of the United States, who gave us ono thousand j dollars toward this object, wo have secured this building, knowing that it would be some tjme before the Church m this Diocese .could support this . or any Othor.?ducational institutioii. We have asked the. protestant Episcopal Freedmen's' Commission in New York to furnish -s with tho funds to procure teachers, and, for many reasons, have requested them to appoint the Superintendent of the school, wc nominating several assistants from among our na ti - c citizens who. axe qualified, and who have ap? plied f r tho positions, ' The Freedmen's" Commis? sion ht New York have met ns in a trank and fra? ternal spirit, and havo signified their intention' to' carry out our wishes; We presume they are: how " ?endeavoring to Beenre the teaahers and tho funds necessary for this object, and only await their ac? tion to commence our exercises. ;o anv that has hoax., or m?r bu estaousuea nero, ,",i ?? ;CT nur desire to make lt as complote as we cari.

There: is: no mission? ary field which pr =mises greater or niore immedi uto results than this.

We :have doomed it best to devote our efforts to thiB one ob? ject in order that wo might moke it a strong cen? tre from which to radiate to the other sections cf j tho Diocese. Wo are persuaded that we cannot more effectu? ally maintain those kindly relations with the ri sinir generation, which have existed, and still ex? ist between us and the parents of those children, than by civing them the practical evidence of our .goodwill and interest in providing for their edu~ cation and advancement sohools of the first ? or? der, where not only the mind and body, but tho immortal soul, shall be trained in .tho love and obedience of our Lord Jesus Christ.

But we : feel, arid feel deeply, that under our present opportunities, and with the daily influences which arc ripening and spreading among us, and to which they are subjected, that this class of our population ia in .danger of passing away from ?what we hold .to heltha -.most perfect branch bf the Catholic and Apostolic Church in this land; and the only possible way by which, in tho futuro, we cari retain thom in the faith once delivered to the saints, as thia Church holds it, ia to commune with."tke young;.; Thousands and tons of thousands of monoy have been spout, and many valuable lives have been given np to Africa, and tho most of both have been ex? pended in this way; all .'successful. missionary: efforts have recognized this 'necessity. _ The gospel in the church taught and "preached incur schools.

Comment M foti^at^SSfrnfer 2f$mk-&i?K Our New Tru-k Letter. [FROM O?B REOOlut COEKESI'OKDENT.J NEW YOBS, May 6.-The timo has boon when in this great metropolis ol the Western homisphcio it was only necessary to undertake any important financial enterprise foi success to bo u foregone conclusion. This was i) the days before tho war, when much despisod, 'but then all potent, King Cotton reigned suprema when Southern trade and Southorn capital lent r'fjir powerful aid toward the enrichment of NorUern communities, and the improvemont and beatifying ol Northern cities. Grass did not grow up ii the ?treots of Now York during the war; grass Aid not grow in Broadway and tho avenues when tho war ended; tho North was not impoverished ns the poor South has boon, but yet thc shock has bt;n felt herc, too, to somo exter.t, and "enterpriser of great pith and mo? ment" are often undertaken even in this flourish? ing city to be afterward! abandoned as failures. One year has elaDsed since I furnished your readers with a detailed description of tho magnifi cmt hotel for tho contemplated erection of which at the corner of Fifth-avcnue.aiid tho Central Park. Hiram Cranston, of the Now York Hotel, had un? dertaken to organizo a jomt stock company with a capital of a couple of million dollars. The hotel was to have boen tho largest and handsomest in tho world, not even excepting the Grand Hotel of the French caoital. - Designs of the magnificent structure were beautifully lithographed and pin cod ora exhibition hi all -paris of the city, ?nd New .Yorkers felt a becoming pr do in tho proposed building which would b?wo- fona^~^^^w. an addition to th? beanty of tho great metropolis. But the ming has failed, thc project _ has been abandonna, and, instead of tho building borne put up. the lots on which it was to have been erec ed will.T.e pn* up at auction to-morrow. ." The war has wrought other changos in tho poirit of our dream. When Dion Boor icault's Octoroon was produced here many years 1 rt. your corres? pondent (not then your"c?rrcsoc .?nt) was pres? ent at the first representation of tho play, and cannot but recall to mind tho great excitement produced, which indeed arose to such a pitch that pretty-little Asmes Robertson actually received a number of anonymous communications, wherein ?her life was threatened uniese u.s pioeo should bo withdrawn, and, if I remember' aright, tho play had but a short, run on this account. 'Tis not so now, tho piece has been porformed thousands of times, and is now revived and reproduced by Bar? num, the Prince of Humbugs, as the best card with which to win the greonbacks of the multitude, andmore than this,.a plav which was onco dis? tasteful to a New York audience, on account of its anti-slavery sentiments, would draw now perhaps in'Charleston itself, ir; -. V. ;::-;';iS:i. The Fenians seem to havo givon up the ship at last, having waited, however, till there was no ship left to Rive up. The Brotherhood held a m, eting last night, and looking the thing fairly in thc faso, have come to the conclusion that 'tis a bad face, and that thereforo thoy should pot the best possi? ble countenance upon it, by accepting tho situa? tion themselves, and at the "samo timo endeavor' ing-to bettor the situation' of such of their breth? ren as under sontenco of death, by the British Gover nt, by praving for their pardon aud re? lease, ii is stated that tho thickness (or rather the Onliness) of a soap-bubble just before it bursts is about tho one milliouoth'part of an inch ; tho Fenian bubble was thinner than this six months ago, yet tho hopeful sons of Erin have been [ low? ing at it most industriously ever niuco. No won? der thoh that John Bull had but to touch it with a fingar to burst it forever. ? number of. lads, of a literary and business turn of mind, were arrestod yesterday on charge of having stolen a couple of thousand dime novels, which they proposed to sell at a small advance on the cost price, thus encouraging l.terature and sup? plying themselves with pocket money at the same time. The email lads, who had undertaken to toke charge of this largo sot of small booka, turned ont to be bad book keepers; for a dotectivo made an entrr, not in the books themselves, but in the place waere thoy were kept, and took up tho books and boys simultaneously. As literary thefts aro things of every day occurrence, the b;ys contend that tho punishment should bc light, Leonard W. Jerome's private theatro does not bear the palm alone in the world of fashion here, At Dr. Ward's magnificent residence ou Fifth Avenue, at tho corner of Forty-seventh Street, there is a perfect little gem of a theatre, where en? tertainments aro given from time to time for chari? table purpo?da.r- Ono of thesaeatertainmentejwas givoMfo'^tadayyaiid ???s attended bv '?x?- e>Ue of Fifth. Avenue and Murray Hill. Of course it was un grand success. . At a German ball given a few nights ago, a man was murdered in cold blood, by an individual who attempted to; force an en tr: nc J into the ball-room, being-provided with a revolver, thoap-li ?ot with card af admission. Tho murderer after 'shooting his victim, quietly betook hiu-self toan adjoining saloon, where he was cnsgaicd in discussing tho merits of an oyster stew, when a dctootive entered and tho mah Found himself in a worse stow than the oysters. Truth is stranger than fiction-a man committing a murder, and then quietly walking oil to eat arr" oyster supper within a few doors of the place where his victim lay weltering in his blood, even goes ahead of anything in Reynolds'most im? probable stories. It would appear, or rather it does appear, that a majority of the Southern families who have emi? grated hither since the war in the hope of recon? structing their for tunes, have had their expecta? tions realized.. I.judge from tho fact that, ladies, whohDnchhg jtljernsolyes in Rome,8cem determined' to be Romans, vie with the wealthiest of their Northern brethren's sisters 'in the richness and elegance of .their dresses. Yesterday as I took'a stroll through Fifth Avenue, (which is always crowded cn Sundays, and never on any other dayl, I could not bot note how many of the" most, hand? somely dressed ht ties--and-I may add'habds'omest too-wore from tho South, and two in particular whom I recognized as Charlestonians, wore ? the observed of all observers. It does one's heart good-at le 1st it dees my heart good-to perceive that there are at least a few Southerners left who haverthe means to enjoy life as in olden times. Whenever I visit Charleston and see the destitu? tion that prevails, it saddens me so that I never 'get over it till the-time comes for me to make mv next pilgrimage to my well beloved home, and when I do so, then-in the language of the 'I bane of Cawdor-then comes my fit again. < The Japanese Jugglers open to-night oed will draw better than Bistori. The weather is bright, balmy and delightful, al? most flue enough to tempt even a poor mm to in- I vest in the hire of carri a? e to ride ont in tho Cen? tral Park with a friend's sweetheart and make love to ber (the sweetheart, not the carriage) from ro? mantic impulse. But greenbacks are scarce though sunshine is plentiful, and so must the livery stable man suffer or hire his carriage to a .wealthier swain than MOPLTRTE, The Petersburg Platform. ? The Petersburg platform , is one on which all good citizens of every class, color and pa <t pol?ti? ca' affiliation can unite and should unite tn save Virginia; to restore her to the Union, and to secure her release from those incumbrances that restrain, her development and retard' her prosperity.
