Contention of The Protestant Episcopal ChnrcL
at Charlottesville

Contention ofthe Protestant Episcopal Church
at Charlottesville
Mesrs. EdtiorS-in compliance with your
| suggestion that a number of your readers wish
| 10 learn something OF the proceedings of the
Convention which sat last week IN Charlott.s-
vile. | submit TO you brief statement Of
them.
The Convention was uncommonly full, con-
| sistng OF about thirty five Ciergymen, and
| more than that number lay delegates. Bish
| OPP Moore was unbapply prevented being
| there. He had Just before attended the ord
nati"n Of several young men in Alexandl ia, d;
on his way TO Charlottesville was taken sick at
Orange Court House His intended visitation
of this part of his Diocese is necessarily post
poned.
The parochial Reports exhibit the affairs Of
the Diocese in a state OF unusual prosperity.
Many OF The parishes have been bIes ed with
| more pervading religious seriousness. and with
larger accessions TO the communion of the
Church than ever occurred 10 any previous
year. The Divine benediction has accompa
MED the labours of our Clergy in an unusual
degree, and calls for the most grateful, humble
Acknowledgements from all who bear true love
to our Zion.
The constitution of the Episcopal Church in
Virginia was so changed, (agreeably to the
proposal sent down to the Vestres from the
Convention las! year, as TO admit the election
OF an assistant Bishop, and Resolution passed
declaring that the assistant Bishop Shaftn0t pos
sess the right of succession 10 the Episcopdte on
The demise of The principal Bishop, but shall be
eligible 10 that office. The House, as required
by the constitution, voted by orders. The vote
of the Clergy, (eIcIuding two banks,) was u
unanimous in favour OF the Rev. VIM. Meade
ID. D.. and on this nomination being present.
ed by the Clergy, for the approval or rejection
of the Laity, il was sustained by the unani-
nous vote of the lay members. DIR. NJ. has ac-
cepted the appointment; it is expected that he
will be cone rated in August, at the meeting
of our General Convention in Philadelphia,
and enter Immediately on the duties of his Of
flee.
The trustees the Theological Seminary Of
Va. located at Alexandria, represent that very
important institution as being more efficient
and more useful than could be expected from
the limited amount OF its funds. The applica-
tons for ministers made by newly organized
parishes, are becoming more and more urgen',
and far exceed the ability of our Theological
School to supply.
A Missionary Society was formed by the
Convention, and very liberal subscription
