Tm ;uer business was interrupted by the ar? rival at this time, thirty minutes past noon, of the committee having in charge the visiting clergymen of the Church of England, AH business being suspended, the committee, Bev. Dr. Leeds, chairman, advanced up the middle aisle, escorting the distinguished visitors in the followlne order: The Bight Bev. Bishop of Litchfield, George Augustus Selwyn; Right Rev.

Wolverhamp? ton; Bev. T. Bau-ham, Rural Dean, Litchfield. As the committee with their charge ap? proached the chancel the whole body of cleri? cal and lay deputies, the spectators behind them, and the ladles who filled the galleries to repletion, all rose in respectful silence. The Rev. Dr. Craik, the president of the conven? tion, met the honored guests at the foot of the chancel and preceded them up the steps of the temporary platform to his chair. Dr. Leeds then stepped forward and said that the com? mittee had the pleasure and honor of present? ing these eminent visitors ot our mother church of England. Dr. Leeds then anne meed the names and titles ol the visitors aa he sev? erally presented them. The Bev. Dr. Craik received the visitors, bowing protoundly. REMARKS OF DR. CRAIE. *fe He said that the house was receiving most Worthy guests from our old mother church of England, and from the colonial church. They were distinguished not only by their rank, but by the services which won that rank. It was not long since that ail Christendom was start? led by events which seemed to Indicate that the apostolic days had revived. A nation had been born ina day. A young man, high in so? cial rank, had left his native country. He had borne aloft the banner ol the Gospel in a heathen land; he had preached the love of Christ to a race of savages, noble in their way, but dark and untutored in the road to eternal life. In a little while the labors of that Chris? tian warrior had produced most fruitful and glorious results. The little church which he gathered around him grew to a diocese, and that soon expanded into a widespread pro? vince, with its bishops, its deans and numerous -clergy. A few years more of hard colonial labor and this same man was called back to the mother country. His labors, his work was wanted in the teeming church at home. Turning to his lordship, Dr. Craik then said, I now have the honor ot introducing to you the Lord Bishop of Litchfield, the illustrious Selwyn. RESPONSE OF BISHOP SELWYN. The Lord Bishop res rond ed with courtly grace to the greeting, and advancing forward said: My very dear lriends and brethren, both of the clergy and laity, your president has been pleased to ascribe to me a merit which it is not mine to claim. Hts lordship then proceeded, and said that the two brothers Williams had preceded him in the work of Christianizing New Zealand. Their ministry had been a labor of half a cen? tury. One ol them bad been a bishop of the church lor twelve years. He and his brother, Henry Williams, had been foremost In the work; they had laid the foundation, and the speaker had reaped what they had sown. Wberaver he had gone in his first visitations, he had lound native Christians ready to receive him. lu the first three years of his episcopate tie had confirmed 7000 nalive Christians who sTnad been baptlz-d by the missionaries who Sreceded him. He thought it but proper to isavow the justice of the praise which had been bestowed upon him; but In this work which had been s oken of, and in all our \ the whole glory Should be given to Through Him w? move, and live, and our beine; through Him and by Him onl; we do, only can we conquer. Now, dear friends, lor as such we have i together to-day, the large deputation iron mother church of England which joined yesterday is glad to oe with you. Whe saw the hundreds of communicants that f ed around your altar, we felt that here cause of Christ was flourishing. The prlnc which were proclaimed yesterday by the ored servant of the church are the princ which should actuate us. The love ot Ch It is that which binds us together-lt is which makes a unity of Bpirlt. We are ci of one God, and that God we should serv oneness of spirit. This is the spirit which i animate you in all your deliberations. It never let you rend that which should b eether, never dissever that church whl< the body and blood of Christ. He would speak more ol that of which his heart was but as he was to be before them again on 1 day evening, he would not occupy further t to the exclusion of those who accompai him. He would leave to them to speak t but would pour out more of bis heart on J day evening. Now, may the spirit of broth counsel bind us together; may we labor In common cause, and the Anglican Church p per and grow and spread Its doctrines of ti and love over the globe. The whole house responded with a fen "Amen" to the last words of the Lord Bisl THE BISHOP OF NASSAU. Dr. Craik then presented the Right Rev. Venable, the Lord Bishop of Nassau, a bis whose province lay on our Southern bon The Lord Bishop ot Nassau advanced. It g him pleasure tn have the honor of being ; sented before this body. He was deeply se ble of Its kindness in extending to him a t come, but he hoped to escape makin) speech: lt was not in his line, but he than the gentlemen for the honor which they done him. He had the deepest Interest in welfare of the church here; the ties which bo himto the church In the United States wen [ the closest nature. His Islands were con titra to the United States; they were only separa by the Gulf stream, and .that was no chilli line of separation. This gave him a chai every year to welcome his brethren of church in this country. There were sev( clergymen from the church here who 1 taken parishes In his diocese, and who worl faithfully. His grandfather had beeu one the consecrators of Bishop White, and this I brought him Into a more personal connect by friendship with the priests and bishop: the American church. He had ever recen from them words of sympathy and klndn rising above all the lines ol'State, and show! that oneness In our Lord makes an Engl churchman your fellow-cltlzen. THE DEAK OF CHESTER. Dr. Craik then presented the Right Rev. 1 Howson, the Dean ot Chester, a man to win American churchmen owed a lasting de The Dean was the author of .he Comment, on the Epistles ot St, Paul, a work which v known and loved In everv American hon hold. The right reverend gentleman inclined I head in acknowledgment of the terms of co mendatlon of the president. He said that t kind reception which be bad met on his lat lng in New York and here emboldened him address them In familiar language, dear frien of the clergy and laity. He could not spe to the members of this convention as strati ers. He had long hoped to be present at sm a convention, and to meet the churchmen this country. There were two here, one clergyman and the other a layman, with who education he had had something to do. Chester attention was directed with mut warmth to the sister church lu America, ac to this diocese (Maryland) particularly. There are few books of theology bett known in this country than the Exposition the Creed, Ac, by Bishop Pearson. Althouj for two hundred years this work had bee authority, previous to your great war t memorial ot Pearson existed In Chester C thedral. Then a friendly reproach came fro: this side which caused measures to be take to erect a memorial. It would take too lon tO rolatu tba ?tory of 1 ha_ ?luacam nf K Elace of Interment, Interesting though lt wai ut suffice lt to say that a beautiful monumei to his memory now stood In Chester Cathedra The first suggestions to erect that monumei came lrom here, and the first contributiet were sent from the Diocese of Maryland. The dean then read from the minutes of th Bishop Pearson Memorial Association, ot 24t June, 1859, expressing their great obligatio to the Bishop of Maryland and bis diocese fe contributions sent them. He also read frot the minutes resolutions of thanks for the kin words or encouragement received from Bisho Whittingham. The subscribers to the mont ment lund Include forty-odd bishops, besld Bishop Whittingham, ano the Colonial Cburcl then represented by the bishop ot New Zet land. It was a happy coincidence that th now bishop of Litchfield should be hereto bea the congratulations ot Chester Diocese to th Diocese of Maryland. He was glad to knoi that what little be had done had been usen In American households-I hat his efforts 1 connection with another to elucidate the gr?a Apostle ol the Gentiles had done good In titos households. He felt that the bishop to whoi they listened yesterday had concentrated I his sermon the main-spring of the Apostle' action. His earnest woras and impressiv manner must have been Inspired by the Hf of the great Apostle. You possess a great ot ganlzatlon; cultivate one with another a splri ot Individual and personal communion wltl our Lord and Saviour. He would now, with their permission, con elude by reading an address entrusted officially io him by his colleagues of tue ancient Cathe? dral of Chester. The address premises Iba understanding that it is the intention of tht dean to attend the convention of the cburcl In America, they desire to express their cor dial approbation ot the object ot bis visit, ant sond their sympathy with the objects of thai church. May it please our Divine Head tc prosper her more and more lu the great work of doing for Him, and unite us together In a community of love. The address ls signed bj the vice-dean, the caaons, the honorary canons, the minor canons, the precentor and sacrist, and the deacon ol the diocese ol Chester. The president, Dr. Craik, replied that in the name of the convention he was most happy to receive this expression of good will from the ancient Cathedral of Chester. THE RKOTOR OF TREATHAM. The president then presented the Rev. Dr. Edwards, rector of Treatham. The Rev. Dr. Edwards commenced by read? ing a paper signed by the dean ol Litchfield, the archdeacon and two hundred and eleven of the clergy of that diocese, expressing their great pleasure that their father, tbe bishop, bad determined to visit tbe church In the United States, and to send by him their sympathy and their hearttelt wishes for a lov? ing communion In Christ; hoping that God will pour His spirit In large and larger meas? ure on our brethren lu America, and that we all may be made one flock under the good Shepherd, now and forever. [An impressive amen seemed to burst from the lips of all who heard.] Dr. Edwards then said it had been but twelve days since he had lett his small country Earish in the heart of England to accompany ls bishop on this visit. The transition was so violent, lrom old England, with its eight hun? dred years of Christianity, to a country and a church in its youth, that ne was utterly unable to give expression to the thoughts which thronged heart and mind. He would say this much : Io domestic life we glean from our children truths no less important than they glean from us. He would make the applica? tion so much as to Bay that he felt himself a learner by what was transpiring here. He hoped that what they saw here would contrib? ute to strengthen their own conference In the Diocese of Litchfield. He would say no more than to express that he waa most deeply moved by the Invitation and welcome extend? ed to him to-day. He thanked his bishop for his kindness In permitting him to accompany him, and above all re devoutly thanked Al? mighty God for seeing and hearing so much to deepen the impression of His own eternal word of truth. THE OTHER FOREIGN MINISTERS. The Rev. Mr. Bangham, rural dean of Litch? field, was then introduced. He expressed his sincere gratification for the cordial reception accorded to bis brethren and himself. It showed that there was a bond ot sympathy be? tween cl irehmen which three thousand miles ot ocean could not weaken. M he had any In? fluence over the politice o? England, he would disentangle lt of all European alliances, and loo!; lor alliance on this continent with Amen ca and Canada, and then they could rule tl destinies of the world. [Applause.] So mw more as a churchman would he unite tl people ot the two churches, speaking thesarr language and having a common cause. ? hoped to receive their American friends c the other side of the water, and to thank thei there tor their kindness here. The Rev. Mr. Iles, ot Wolverhampton, wi then introduced. He said that he felt that 1 knew those before him; that he knew thei through many of their bishops. When tr Pan-Anglican Conterence was in session lt ha been entrusted to him to provide for th American bishops. Much of the success of th; conference was due to the American bishop! who cheered them. The American blshoi spoke to large bodies of workingmen. Ll came from the black country of Staffordshire which contrasted strikingly with this brigh busy city. There were men here, howeve who had come almost as far as be; they ha come for the love of Christ, and he was glad t see them and be welcomed by them. The Rev. Mr. Willett, of West Brunswick was then presented. He said that be felt h was addressing brethren of one church. H charge was in a large manufacturing di sir lc and hundreds of his flock were constantl applying to him for his blessing before leav ing for this aide of the Atlantic. He con mended to lils brethren here all those wh bore his letters. The Rev. Mr. Selwyn, rof Wolverhamptot son of the bishop, was then Introduced. H said that he saw here the evidences of might things io be accomplished. There were me here ready to give up everything for the cause It was no use denying tbat there had been soreness between this and the mother cont try. But he trusted that the statesmen ha already remedied this, and he trusted that th church union would go on developing, an that we, the Anglo-Saxon race, would go oi together conquering and to conquer. Th'? ceremony of the Introduction ot th' reve-end gentlemen having now been com pie's: i, the president said that he was delight ed at the privilege ot receiving these lllustrl oiis guests, and on behalf of the convention h now rendered to them Its thanks for thei words of wisdom and counsel. During the introduction and addresses of th reverend gentlemen the most perfect allene prevailed through the entire auditory, botl delegates and spectators listening with tbe ut most attention. The expressions ot love am the eloquent tender of good will and hope o fellowship ?vhich lell Irom the HOB of the speak era was received on the part of the Amerlcai clergy and laity with subdued applause befit ting the occasion, but marking their eames appreciation ot the sentiments uttered, and 01 the part of the English clergy with the pecu Har "Hear," "Hear." The tact that the English clergy were not at tired in llielr vestments, but wita one excep tion In plain suits ol black, did not detract trom the Imposing spectacle. The Lord Bishoj of Nassau wore knee breeches. On '.he motion of Rev. Dr. Dalzell, of Loui siana, lt was ordered that seats be reserved a the president's side for the Lord Bishops ol Litchfield and of Nassau, and on iLe floor tot the clergy accompanying them. Oa motion ot Dr. Scbenck, the house ther took a recess of twenty minutes, In order thai the members might take their guests by th? hand. The visiting clergy were then present ed to the deputies Individually, and mud Dleasure was experienced by all at the oppor Limitv of personal Intercourse. Many of th? ladles who were present also came forwart and were presented. BUSINESS RESCMBD. At the expiration of the recess, the presl dent called the convention to order, and th? motion of Mr. Judd, of Illinois, that "when a vote Is taken by dioceses, where the vote of a diocese ls desired, lt shall be taken as a hall vole on each side of the pending question' was again taken up. A message was at this point received from the House of Bishops asking the concurrence of the House of Deputies la the following reso? lution : Resolved, (the House of Clerical and Lay Deputies consenting,) That thia convention hereby consents to and ratifies the formation of a new diocese within the limits ot the dio? cese ot Pennsylvania, to be composed of all tun? mwm wt mm mumm m .mh? m? mm KW? ties of Philadelphia, Delaware, Chester, M -at gomerv and Bucks. The Rev. Mr. Marke, of Pennsylvania, read a certified resolution of the Diocese of Pennsyl? vania, consenting to toe formation of such diocese. He then said that no day hod been, however, designated when the division should take place. He, therefore, moved a r?solu ttou that the division of the Diocese of Penn? sylvania shall take effect November 1,1871. On his motion the matter was then referred to the committee on new dioceses. Mr. Judd then addressed the convention on the subject presented by him. He contended that under the present practice of voting, the voice of the church was oltentlmes not repre? sented. The will of the majority was thereby defeated. He did not object to a reference to the committee on canons, but he wanted a re? form In this matter. Mr. Ruggles did not think the church sub? scribed In Its broad sense to the principle that the minority should govern, but rather that the minority should at all times exercise a wholesome check on the majority. Mr. McCrady, of South Carolina, said that the convention voted by dioceses, and not by Individuals, and he contended that the propo? sition was entirely contrary to the constitution and the practice of the church. Mr. Battle, of North Carolina, regarded the proposition as impracticable. It was an at? tempt to make something out of nothing. The resolution was then referred to the com? mittee on canons. Mr. Shipman, of Kentucky, offered a resolu? tion Hut it be referred to the committee on canons to Inquire and report whether the con? junction "and" between the wordB "clerical" and "lay." before the second period of article two of the constitution, be not an unauthor? ized substitute for the disjunctive "or." Re? ferred to tbe committee ou canons. Dr. Shand, ot South Carolina, presented the certificate ol the election of Dr. Howe as as? sistant bishop of South Carolina. Dr. Halght presented papers relative to the formation of the Diocese ol Arkansas. Both papers were referred. Mr. Ruggles moved an amendment to Mr. Shipman's resolution, as follows, which was adopted: "And if lt be found to be authorized that the committee report upon the expedi? ency of proposing an amendment to the con? stitution substituting the word 'or' for the word 'and.' " Rev. Dr. Halght presented a memorial of the lederate council of the five dioceses of the State of New York, setting torlh its declara? tion of powers proposed to oe exercised by the said federate council. On motion ot Dr. Halght, the memorial was referred to the committee on canons. The Rev. Dr. Franklin, o! Indiana, said the principle was recognized tn the church that every man's orders would cat ry him through the church. What he wanted was that every clergyman of the mother church ot Engluud should have the same privileges in any of the parishes os a clergyman ot the home church. Now before an English clergyman can preach in any ol our parishes he must have an ac? knowledgment from an American bishop. He proposed ip amend paragraph 1, canon 10, title 1, by inserting alter "acquirements," "which certificate shall be given by the bishop or standing committee, unless .specific objections are mace in writing, with reasonable proofs, against tbe orders or the pious and moral character of the applicant, and the said objec? tions and proofs shall be returned to his dio? cesan; but lt declared not sustained by the said diocesan, thc bishop or standing committee aforesaid snail forthwith execute the certifi? cate required, accompanied, however, by a permission to oflk tte for any period or peri? ods requested by applicant, not longer In all than six months." Dr. Howe, of Pennsylvania, asked If this was to return the lavors extended to the American clergy in England. The motion of Dr. Franklin was then re? ferred to the committee on c/ ons. Mr. Buggies submitted ar<i jlution request? ing the committee ou canons lo inquire Into the expediency ol reducing the representation of the various dioceses in the General Conven? tion to - clerical delegates and - lay dele? gates. The resolution was adopted.

The Herald of the 7th says : "The attend? ance on sales-day was large, and the crop re? port waa not such as we wished to bear. The corn crop Is short, but rather better than was expected some two months ago. The Impres? sion prevails that the cotton crop cannot reach more than half of an average yield." Marlboro*. The Times ol the 7th says: "Cotton picking, ever since the season opened, has been carried on vigorously. Some of our farmers have nearly their entire crop picked out. Very lit? tle remains to open. It is something unusual for the great bulk of the cotton crop lu this section to be gathered by the lost of Septem? ber. Vet such hos beeu the case this year." Barnwell. The Journal of Saturday, 7th, says: "The farmers from all portions of the county are de? lighted at the continued good weather, for the cotton crop ls short anyway, and lt rained so much a few weeks ago that it was feared peo? ple could not gather what they had made. We bear numbers expressing surprise that cotton should still keep low. The speculators are try? ing their best lo get hold of lt, but we see no reason why the price of the staple should not advance soon, we hear of but few farmers who have not made corn enough."
