0anon Ia regard to Churches in foreign lands,
consisting Of DIR. Hanekel of S. C.. DR.. Vinton,
| DIN. Y, Dr. Ford of Ga, Judge Chambers Of
| Md, Mr.. Welsh, of Pa.
| Dr. Mahan, OF N. j., offered q resolution for
| TO ascertain whether any alteration can be
| made In the arrangements for the conservation
| OF the Bishops.
After some remarks by Judge Conrad. of
MIR, Cierc, of Mo-, moved the following as
substitutes:
,ReSctrsd, That a committee of three be appoint
| ed 10 communicate to the House of Bishops the
very prevalent desire of the members of this House
| that the conservation take place in different
Mr. Dalzel, of Texas, said that as part Of
the conservation service was the administering
Oh ,ne Holy Communion, he would ask if any
preiaralon Fad been made IN the Capitol
grounds for that! He thought all the service
was designed for the House of God, and that
the plan proposed was inexpedient

grounds.
DIR. Mead, of Conn. read from the Rubric-
"When all things are prepared in the Church
and set in order, alter the Morning Prayer is
ended, the Presiding Bishop, or some other
Bishop appointed by the Bishops present, shall
begin the Communion Seryice,'' &c. He asked
il the Capitol Square was s'in the Church,
He also read from the Rubric the passage in
which the Bishop is spoken of as 'sitting in
his chair, near the Holy Table" Is there any
Holy Table in the Capitol grounds He
| thought the Bishops had forgotten to consult
| the Rubric.
Mr., Smith, of S. G., made some further allu-
| sion TO the Rubrc.
MIR. Hill, of California thought the arrange
ment altogether improper. Boys would be
| firing crackers, dogs fighting, old women SELL
| ing cakes, and all the other accomplishments
| OF Il mass meeting be encountered.
| DIR. Minngerode, of Va, said that of all
| places that could have been selected, the Capt.
| tol Square was the least suitable. A large
| portion of the delegates, under the proposed
| arrangement, would be compelled to sit with
| their backs to the Bishops. He hoped COM
mitsee would be sent to confer with the other
| House.
! Mr.. Taylor, of Va, said it was manifest that
| the proposal was altogether repugnant to the
minds of the House. lie suggested that the
| resolution be modified so as 10 read, that, in
| the unanimous opinion of this House, it is ex-
| pedent that the Bishops be conseerated in a
church or churches.
Mr.. Conrad, of Va, thought the House of
| Bishops merely desired an expression of opin-
| ion with regard TO the matter.
DR.. Mason, of n. c., (the previous resoiu-
| lions having been withdrawn offered the fol-
| lowing:
Rssotrcd, That the Presiding Bishop be respect
fully requested to change the plan proposed for CON
secrating the Bishops, the 18th inst, in the Capt.
toi grounds, and that one or more churches be Sc
| lected Tor the purpose.
| DR.. Hanckel, of s. O., moved an amendment
| That it is ineXpedent and inconsistent with
| the Rubric TO consecrate Bishops in any place
| but in the House of God.
| DR.. Hawks, of n. y, thought the amend
| ment Implied censure upon the Presiding
| Bishop 1t would look more respectful to
| adopt the resolution of the clerical delegate
from North Carolina.
| DR. Hanckel withdrew his amendment.
| Judge Chambers suggested that it be super
added TO the resolution, without changing it
| at ALL that the delegation from Virginia be re-
| quested to call upon the Presiding Bishop for
| ihe purpose OF arranging the matter.
| Mr.. Smith. OF s. c., said it had been rumored
| that the galleries of the Church We're unsafe.
| DR. Minnigerode, of Va, said that such ru-
| mors had been in circulation since the
| Church was built. He recently had the gall
| leries examined by an experienced architect,
| who gave it as his opinion that no weight
could be piled upon them sufficient to break
| them down; that they would never fall un-
less the Church itself fell.
| DIR. Van Ingen, OF Min, was in favor of hay
| ing all the Bishops consecrated in one place.
| He moved to substitute for the words, lone or
| more churches - the words "a church."
Several members endeavored TO get the floor
| Mr.. Yerger, of Miss. succeeded, and moved to
| lay the resolution the table. Defeated.
| At this stage of the proceedings. delegate
| from Maryland arose and said he was author
| lied by his venerable friend who brought in
| the comnunicaton-and who for so many
years presided over the deliberations of this
| body-to say that the Presiding Bishop with
draws it altogether.
So, after this long expenditure of time, the
| question was thus summarily brought to
| termination.
The Secretary of the House of Bishops CDR.
Balch) announced that the following arrange
| ment had been determined for the conse-
| Grafton of Bishops, on Thursday: Two will
be consecrated in St. Paul's Church. one in
d. lanes Church. and one in the Monumen-
tai Church
DIR. Stevens from the Committee of Domes-
TIC and Foreign Missions, submitted the fol-
| lowing report in the form of resolution:

| That 1T is expedent to appoint, at this time, two
MissTlohs,y bishops-one for the Northwest and
