EPISCOPAL CONVENTION.

We learn that the Convention of the Protestant
Episcopal Church of this State, which assembled
IN this City Thursday last very fully atten-
ded. All the Ministers of the Diocese but four we
learn, were present.
The rule of this Church, in electing a Bishop,
requires the Clergy in attendance to agree upon a
person for the Office and then nominate to the lay
delegates, who confirm reject as they may think
proper. The Clergy baloted repeatedly, without
coming to decision, until Saturday evening, when
the Rev. Thomas ATKINSON, of Baltimore, was
duly nominated and elected. We learn that the
Rev. DR.. Mason, of this City, and Rev. Dr. Drane,
OF Wilmington, were voted for, among others, by
the Clergy; but no choice could be effected until
the name of the Rev. Mr.. Atkinson WAS brought
forward
The handsome and capacious new Church has
Oeen occupied during the sitting of the Conven-
tlon' and crowded by strangers, delegates and cit
liens IN attendance OH Divine Service.
lhe Convention adjourned on Monday, the 3oth
lnst.' to meet in Wilmington in 1854.

less reelected.
In the 7th district, Edgar Snowden, Wing, is
LAP ahead of Smith, Democrat, with Orange, King
George, Stafford and Spottsylvania to be heard

He read the noticein clear, firm voice, the ladies'
names and all, and then added, $. il this congrega-
