It suggest* that some improvement may he made in the method of admitting preachers on trial and into lull connection, but of course leaves the origination and adoption of any such im provement to the members of tho General Con ference. After referring to certain difficulties which tho Bishops experience in the administration ot the system of itinerancy especially in the mat ter ot transferring preuchms from one aiinu il conference to another, the address refers to age and increasing infirmities of thut devoted sol- dierof too Cross, the pious and veneruble Bishop 8 iule, in the following terms : — You aro uware that our venerable and honor ed friend, Bishop Soule, in consequence of in creasing intimities, is unable to perform any efficient service ; nor can we hope to be favor ed with his presence and valuable counsels at many of our annual conferences. In view oi these cireumsiunc-s, and of the great and con stantly increu-ing extent of our Hold of lab r, we tru-t it will uccord wilh your views of pro priety to afford somo additional strength to our Episcopacy. Thu address next refers earnestly and elo quently to the m’ssioiiary cause, which has great- ly prospered in the Church, and the duty of in teresting the young in missionary enterprizes i* judtciouslly enforced. The missions to the slave population of tno South urn described as efficient and successful The necessity of active measures in behalf of education is also dwelt upon, and some more populur system is recom mended. The relations nf the Churrho* North and gouth is referred to, and the rejection, by the General Conference of the Church North, of the Rev. Dr. Tierce in his offi'.iul chiracter, and the repudiation of the plan of *. pm aiinu jointly agreed upon by the Ninth and bnuth n the general Conference of 1314, aro severely commented upon.

He tli 'light that the Conference could spare time to-morrow belter than at a sub e quent day; and a- he intended t> give his views on die subject, they might as w II hear him then. He deemed it hot appropriate thHt the G mleieuco should act upon it in Conference capacity, nrtlmt.it should be referred to the consideration of a small committee, mid there fore proposed to go into committee nf the whole, Dr Hamilton moved that the piitifi relief appoint to-m"rrnw, ten o’clock, to hear Dr. S. qn the subject proposi d. Mr. McKorren. of Tennessee, was opposed to the motion, on tne around that the metier was too vague and indefinite—bud not been for mally presented in writing. He was opposed to passing a resolution to .hear any brother,', with out knowing on what subject he was g dug to speak. Dr. E irly advocated the motion Opposed it. Mr. gtni'h replied, that hi» proposition whs to go into committee of the who.e to-morrow-, at 10 o’clock, to oon-ider the propriety of di viding the Conference into two houses; und, if deem d expedient, to devise some plan for the accomplishment of that object. He thought this statem-oit sufficiently definite. H- did not wish particularly to discuss ihe object to-moi- row. but at any time when it shoit d best, suit m 1 the "Conference.

Dr. Drake Highly Important mow Spain.—The fol lowing important item of intelligence was tel egraphed from London to Liverpool just previ ous to the sai ing of the Niagnru. A d-spatch from Madrid, dated the evening of the 23d. announces that another l’arlscri-ds, of a most serious chatHOter, hud taken place. The King suddenly notified to Gen. 4Nurv«ex, and the rest of tho cabinet, his intention of quitting Madrid, in order not to be preset.t at tbe aecuuchnieiit nf the Queen. After exfitutai* ing ail means of persuasion to induce him to chauge hi* purpose, but which were of i.n avail, a council of ministers was held, in which it was ngreed to oppose by force the King’s de parture. Accurdim ly, it was announced to his Majesty that he most ho placed under arrest. 8enlries were placed nt the door of hi* apart ment, and th * King remained a prisoner during four hours, ufter which time bis Maj -sty con sented, and ucc'impanied the Queen in her usua' drive on the Brad-s in ail open carnage.

At a meeting held in fur therance of this project, says the Providence Juurnn', ihe wlitilo system of society in the United States was loudly condemned, a d nil its faults were attributed to the want of early clerical establishments.

Advertiser, wtitii g on the ubjec.t of llu* tariff says : Just ut ihe point when our own mnnufnctu- rs und dealers become less solicitous for Governmental interference for their protection t seems likely tout Congress will b most dis posed tu grunt it. A gnu change is going on in the relative interests of iLffieivnt pnrtiOnsol '■Ul- territory in re-pect to the tariff'. Tic .Southern Atlantic Stutes are turning their timn- tilucturing eapnbilites to uceount. In regard t" tin* cotton manulbciure they have important advantug- s over ui.y part of the North. As itipu utmn increases und lubor becomes cheap- :'i, tin-sc states will so greatly multiply their e-tuhlisliments, und their production will be come so greut in comparison with the local con sumption, that Southern men will feel tin* nn- essity of having the complete control of the home market. They will therefore, within a very lew years, lie found the most earnest ad vocates of the protective system. They will lie eager to Co-operate with the iron and coal interest* of Pennsylvania. New York, Virginia and Maryland, and the general m inufucturing interests of the North, for the highest protec tion which thegren valley of the centre, und the great \\ est, now bordering the Pacific, will Ini -late. Toe oppositnn of Calilorniu, On- goti, Utah, Texas mid New Mexico will then akc the place of South Carolina milificati-m "'d possili y, though we snonld hope not, of hut la ter and not less important treason, Nash* dlle convention. We thi.ik we may stiffly counsel the writer o di-miss Ins letns. He need have no uppre. tensions of a tariff' mania at the South. If his will take the pains to examine the subject he will discover thut it will be the interest of the S uth, now that we have been driven into manu facturing, more than ever ;o oppose th * tariff system. He says “Southern men will feel the necessity ot having tho complete ctinfol o j the home market." That may lie; but he will live us credit for sagacity enough to know that he way to obtain control of the homo market will not be to favor a system which would es tablish a successful rivalry in our immediate vicinity. The experiments of the past few years, under the present so called inadequate tariff', Inis proven that we can manufacture our great sta ple, and that even in the inf nicy, of our nta-iu- facturing enterpriz i we cun successfully com pete with th • manufacturers of New or Old England. We can now do this, with less cap ital and without a prute.tiive tariff. In u few years we can do more—we can c > urol the home m irket for all heavy fibrin*, and we can supply the world wit t yarns. Wnat a ehort-dghted policy would it be then, for us to uid in tbe enactment of a tariff law which would bring th ■ immense capital of the Eastern andN irtfi- ern States in competition with ns, thus giving our rivals, to u*e u common phrase, “ a stick with which to break oar own beads ” In this competition all tbe advantages are on our side, except that of capital. The anti-tariff policy will bring this to our aid, while an opposite policy would array it against us. Hence tbe South can never bo in fuvor of a high protective taiiff. The people of the South have had to over come many deep seated projudieos before they consented to become a mat ufacturit-g people, and but for tbe relentless crustirte of the E t*t against our institutions, it is proba'ih* that the bum of a cotton spindle would never have been heard within our borders. In self def-nco we have ventured the experiment, which has been attended wilh the m ist gratifying succes. The 'word is onwii'd! M tnnfactiiries are springing up in every directi ai, from the mountain* to the sculioar l, not cotton mills only, but eveiy biatteli of M inufaeture* is being rapidly ii.tr* - ilnced, and in a few years no State in tlie*Uninn wili ocenpy n more independent position than that of G airgia. While the E istern mills, and those of the middle States are suspending or making half time f ir rhe purpos) of entortin from Congress a larger bonu* in the shape of protective duties, ours are in the full tide of sucrsslul operation, yielding dividends that g phitnp in the face of the N u thorn itigument*, a d which must soon convince the capitalists of tiie country tlmt trie lime is at band when the South must be the great C-'tton Manufuc turing section of tho Union.
