From an Occasional Correspondent


HUNTSVILLE, Ala, May 1.-THE
attendance of commissioners was larger
this morning than heretofore. The as
sembly has gone to work earnestly, and
the committee having charge of the
main business of this ecclesiastical body
will have most of the business ready for
the action of the assembly by Monday
or Tuesday.


A very important memorial was
received from some cOlOred men,
beIs of this church in Missouri, ask
ing the general assembly to de-
fine their status in the church, and TO
advise them as to the manner of pro-
ceeding in their work and the education
Of their young men for the ministry.
The memorial was finally referred to
the Judiciary committee.


Thts committee on Evangelical Alli-
ance" made report, recommending the
appointment of committee to investi-
gate more fully the grounds of the pro
posed alliance and all collateral ques-
ti0ns bearing on the subject, and also
to send delegates to the Worlds conven-
ton to meet in New York in August
next, and to report to the next general
assembly.


A resolution was adopted, providing
for a missionary meeting to be held by
the general assembly in committee o.
the whole, on Monday evening at eight
o'clock.


The credentials of Rev. P. B. Brice
corresponding delegate of the Presbyte-
riau church in the United States to the
general assembly, were presented, and
the reverend delegate being present, was
introduced TO the body and invited to 6
seat. Monday morning was set to re-
ceive him formally.


The question as to the manner of re.
ceiving the evidence of the action o.
Presbyterians on amendments to the
constitution and discipline of the churcl
was taken up, and the clerk authorized
to receive from commissioners the action
of their presbyteries.

An Irish correspondent of the New York
Evangelist gives succinct account of the
late work of the Irish Episcopal General
Synod. The session occupied thirty-one
days, the reyision of the prayer book being
the principal subject of the discussion. The
writer says that ''the greatest diversity exis-
ted among the Irish clergy in reference to
this subject. On the sacrament, baptism,
priestly absolution, and the ordination SER
vice there is complete antagonism. Some
hold the real presence, baptismal regener:.
atom, sacerdotal absolution of the sick, and
the gift of the Holy Spirit in ordination.
These might be termed Romanizers. Others
hold directly the reverse-thorough Protest
ants. The revision pleases neither. The
consequence is that many will retain the old
prayer book. Many who adopt the revised
one will hold to their own opinion. Dissatis-
faction is widespread among the laity.
