Episcopal Convention.

.YEyHE Convention of the Protestant
4 Episcopal Church in Virginia, will
hold it annual session in Richmond on
the fourth Tuesday in Maynext. By the
death OF our much lamented Secretary,
the duty of notifying this event deyolves
on the subscribers, who take the liberty
ofreqnesting purctual attendance of the
clerical and lay deputies. As it is re-
quired by the canons OF tie General Con-
yention that parochial reports on the state
of the Church in each parish be furnished
to each State Convention; and cas- under
existing circumstances such information
is necessary in order to enable our active
and Jealous Bishop to take measures for
supplying them with ministers it is
therefore very desirable that each dele
gate would come prepared with "a report
embracing these objects.
