of Civil and Religious Liberty

Markets, &c.
(By Telegraph to the Pittsburgh Gazette.]
•-• SPAIN.
,64,21rADRID, October . 9.—The Provisional
unta have made a declaration in favor of
• civil and religious liberty. It is received
with enthusiasm, and extensive popular
demonstrations have been made in Ma
drid, specially in favor of religious tolera
tion. Large numbers of wbrkrnen are idle
tin consequence of the agitation, which has
caused a temporary suspension of industry
and labor in the city. The_ Provisional
Junta, assures them that work will be fur
nished:for all who want it.
Rumor says that the Duke and Duchess
of Montpensier have been Allowed to re
enter Spain.
Much excitement vas created in Catalo
nia by the reform in the customs tariff.
E'pLAN - D.
LONDON, October 9.—Right - Hon. Mr.
Glad Stone has delivered his address to the
electors of South Lancashire. After re
viewing the progress of reform in-England,
he proceeds to criticize the course of the
government, condemning the increased es
timates in regard to Ireland. He says
the true policy would be to make
the law the friend of the Irish people. He
repudiates the preposition_fore
,general en
dowment of the - Church in Ireland, and says
the case against the Established Church
is aggravated by the fact that it is the
- church of the rich. The arguments in avor
of its continuance are a satire on misap
plied funds,-and the established Church is
a 'nark of past - oppression. This establish
-I,,r34ent Will give the clergy - of that Church
inore, scope. The interests of the Irish peo
ple must be carried, for the revenue must
be applied to the public and social works,
and not' to religious establishments. Mr.
Gladstone closed.' with an :appeal to the
voters of south Lancashire to support the
only just policy which England can pursue.

_ ,The Committee on New Dioceses reported
TaTerably upon the admission of the Dio
n of Nebraska, under the name of the
Colwell of Nebraska.;
T. B. Ruggles, a melnher of the Commit
tnitfee, objected to changing the titles of
the church orga , nizations in the" United
.states, and thought the name ..piocese
Viiould be...adhered to: The Convention, he
aaid,ishould;carefully guard against all such
innovations. _
Rev. Dr. Howe, of Philadelphia, agreed
with Mr: Ruggles, that if the Convention
set this precedent it would not be long be
fore Dioceses would be asking for admission
under the - name of Reformed • Catholic
Churches.or Synods.
Rev. Dr. Pctkin, of Michigan, was Ih-fa
vor of admitting the Diocese under the
name of Council.
Rev: Dr. Mead, of Connecticut, opposed
the admission of the Diocese of Nebraska
Tinder the title of Council, as unconstitu
tional. He however, proposed to vote for
their 'admission, conditional npon their
changing their title as mulls their Diocese
.should meet.
Rev. Dr. Littlejohn, of Brooklyn,thought
#,hitidebate immature, because the matter
- was wider consideration by the Committee
-on-Canons, and they had not yet reported
on it..
. - fDr.:Littlejohn added he held that -a new
Diocese had the power to settles on either
word.
Judge Otis, of Illinois, opposed it and ar
gued that , such innovations should originate,
if at all, in the General Convention. Ile,
however, favored admitting them now, on
a pledge that they would discard Council
and adopt the reetignizod title of Diocese at
their first meeting.
Judge Stevenson, .of Rentioky, said the
new Diocese shoUld not he admitted, be
cause suet[ action Wouid no unprecedented.
Judge !tattle. of N,:rih rougiy
favored the admission, arguing their right
thereto from a legal point of View,
Rev. Joshua Petorkin, of Virginia, coin
cided with the previous speaker: regarding
the right to emprov either word. The
speaker was interruptei by the reading of
a message from the House of 13i:shops, noti
fying the General Convention that tney had
passed the concurrent resolution looking to
the procuring of a more convenient and
suitable building in which to hold the ses
sions of the Convention.
Rev: Dr. Goollwin, of Penna., supported
the resolution.
Hon. Hamilton Fisk moved to amend the
'resolution so as to have it read that the.
Diocese of Nebraska should be_ admitted
as soon as they had amended their Consti
tution and dropped the obnoxious title of
Council. -
Rev. Wm. Adams, of Tennessee, asked.
that the resebitioe be amended so as to ad
mit the Council of Nebraska to
e . full ca- .
nonicaVunion with this church, with the
understanding that the word Council, as
used to their constitutiOn. is identical
and perfectly synonymous with the
word "Convention.'' He also advo
cated the, use of the word "Council"
in place or "Conven:ion," as the mere
descriptive of the triennial meetings of the
Protestant Episcopal Church of the United
States. He objected to the word "conven
.tion," because the Spiritualists. Baptists
and other Etheld "conventions." He thought
the Episcopal Convention should not reject
the. Dioce'se of Nebraska, because they had
used the Word "Council" until the House
oft - Bishops had expelled Bishop Whipple
fof representing in their Assembly the
Council of
After recess a message was receiVecl from
the Ilonse of Bishops stating that it had
adopted the following restitution:
Pcsoleed, The House of Clerical and Lay
Deputies
,concurring, the Diocese .of Ne
braska b&aud the same is hereby admitted
into union with the General Convention of
the Church in the 'United States.
.Afterrsinne interruptions, Rev. Dr. Good
win moved the entire subject be post - Polled
until a report'be received ,from the Com
mittee on Canens on the general subject.
Judge Otis, of Illinois, said he had a suh
stitute for the - subject to offer, which he had
submitted to the bishops and Deputies of
Nebraska. and they approved it. It had
ndthing to do with the changes in - the ritu
:lP, as to changing words in the original ser
vice, Stc.,but he believed it would bepaTised
by the house. It wits as follows : Adopt
the report with Hari' proviso--"Prorided,
That in admitting the - . new Diocese of Ne
braska this Hous;Cdol's not intend to sane
thin the change of name - from `Convention'
to 'Council' iy the Diocese of Nebraska,
until the constitution and canons of the-
General Convention are so changed in twit
ter, thereby provided for by amendments
and alteration.
47 , After some further I diseussicn en the mo
tion • of,judge Otis. the while subject was
tahled:
: Judge Otis then moved to take up the
- - )uessage from the House of Bishops anti
:'concur 'therein, and' that the proviso be
added.
The President stated the question without
the proviso.
Hon. Hamilton Fish asked if there could
no amendment,: to the resolution of nu t
Bialftirlity* "'
Judge."::Otie said after the resolution
should be concurred in, he would move the
proviso.
Rev. Dr. Howe, of Pa., would not vote
for the resolution without the proviso,
Rev. Dr. Mead, of Conine:tem; would
agree with the last speaker, but with Ont re
ferring to the House of Bishops would wish
an - expression of opinion to the enect that
the conduct of Nebraska was irregular in
changing the name of their annual assem
blage.
Rev. Dr. Norton, of Virginia, moved the
,words "Protestant Episcopal" -be inserted
before the word "church" in the resolution
of the House t or Bishops.
'The Convention at this noint adjourned
