 Pm1ADELPHIA, Oct. 5.-The general con veniion of the Protestant Episcopal Church in the United States reassembled this morn ing in the Church of the Holy Trinity. Morn ing prayer was read by the Rev.

Hoffman, of New York, from the committee to wait on the Lord Bishop of Rochester, reported the presence of that gentleman. The Lord Bishop, of Rochester, the Rt. Rev. Dr. Thorold, WAS then introduced and addressed the house, all the deputies remaining standing. He begged most sincerely to return thanks for the kind ness and courtesy with which his name was received. It was not his first visit to this country, said he, and he hoped it would not be the last. He was not so foolish as to hide from himself the fact that the kindness was extended to him as representative of Eng land and of the Church. ''Let no one per suade you," said the Lord Bishop, 'that Eng land has ceased to love America. The Eng fish Church is proud of the life and activity of her daughter. We in the old country do not feel as if We are in our decrspitude yet. The American Church is foremost among the religious bodies of what he might truly call . religious land. h less than one hun dred years sixty-two sees have been created in this country, without the permission of a legislature. In the words of Cardinal New man and John Bright, only be united among yourselves, said the Lord Bishop, and you will be invincible.
 The house then met with the house of bishops as the board of missions. The Rt. Rev. Alfred Lee, D D., D. c. l., Bishop of Delaware. was in the chair, on his right be- ing the Lord Bishop of Rochester and on his left the president of the house of depu- ties. The Rev. Dr. N. Fl. Schenek presented the report of the committee on order of busi- ness, which was adopted. On motion of Bishop Stevens, of Pennsylvania. the rules were suspended in order that the Lord Bishop of Rochester might present 8 communication from the Archbishop of Oanter- bury. The Lord Bishop said that the Archbishop desired to congratu. late the American church on the approaching centenary of the conservation of the Right Rev. Bishop Seabury. The Lord Bishop paid 8 glowing tribute to the memory of the late Dr. Tait, Archbishop of Canterbury. The letter from the Archbishop of Canterbury, Primate of all England, WAS then read by Bishop Lee, the deputies all standing. It congratulated the convention on the ap- preaching centenary of the consecration of Bishop Seabury, the first prelate of the Epis- copal Church in America.
 The board of missions reassembled at o'clock and report of Rev. Dr. William G. Gregory, missionary bishop of Yeddo, was read. The reverend doctor described the evangelical efforts that have been put forth in that section. Bishop Morris, missionary bishop of Oregon, submitted his report in which he said when Washington territory was cut of from jurisdiction seven ciergymen, eight churches and chapels and two schools were withdrawn. Oregon now has fifteen clergymen, twenty-three churches two board ing schools with two hundred pupils. Two hundred and forty-one persons conformed last year and at present there are thirteen rescories The territory contains population of 175, 900 with an area of 9O,000 square miles To reach the several points only wagons, mules or horses can be used and the roads to be travelled over are of the toughest kind Rev.
