 The Episcopal Triennial Conv> ation con- tinues its session ill New York, but as most of the recent sessions have been se- crete there is little progress to report The matter Ill discussion in secret ses- sion is understood to be the approval of the election of two bishops accused of ritualistic practises. One of them has been approved. but the case of Dr. Sey- mour, who was elected bishop of Illinois, has not yet been disposed of. The House of Bishops have passed bill for canon providing that divorced persons marrying again shall be refused the communion ex- cept in case of an innocent party in divorce for adultery. They have also proposed the following canon:
 It shall be the duty of every minister in this Church. with such assistance as he can obtain from persons skilled Ill music, to give orders concerning the tunes to be sung at any time in his church; and es- pecially 1t shall be his duty to suppress all light and unseemly music, and all in- decency and irreverence in the perform ance, by which vain and ungodly persons profanc the service of the sanctuary
 It is now stated that the diplomatic cor respondence, for the secretion of which Count Arnim has been arrested, consisted of letters sent him while Minister to France, complaining of his course in favoring the monarchists and opposing the establish ment of the republic. It is said that Bis mark censured hlm very severely, and fin ally his course was such that the Emper- or of Germany had to recall him. Being unwilling that the letters Bismark had written him should be seen by his success sor he abstracted the entire correspond ence consisting of over eighty letters. The government has commenced criminal prosecution against him for thls act and will no doubt press it to 8 conviction. His family have made every effort fo pro- cure his release on bail, but the German government is tco severe on offical delin- quencies to allow him any such easy mode of escape.
