Gino.nl Conference of the Itlciliodht
Episcopal Church, South.
Tho Address of the Bishops appeared in the New
Orleans Times of the 8th inst. This journal says of
this interesting document: “It is written in a spirit
of rare Christian love, and gives a most clear and
satisfactory account of the action of the Biahops in
their several Conferences during the long time that
has elapsed since the last general session eight years
ago. This term includes a period, which it is cheer
ing to know, that the church has preserved, under the
Divine blessing, her integrity, and keeping in view
her own high mission, has been satisfied to per
form her legitimate duties.” The address thus speaks
of the
COLORED POPULATION IN CONNECTION WITH THE
CHURCH.
The interest of the colored population should en
gage your serious attention. Heretofore the colored
people within our bounds have deserved and received
a large share of our labors. We have expended our
means and strength liberally aud patiently, for man}
years, for their salvation and improvement, and if in
any wise our conduct has not been appreciated by
some on earth, nevertheless, our witness is on high
aud our reward is in heaven. It is grateful lo our own
feelings to know that if tho colored people do not re
main under our pastoral care their departure reflects
no discredit upon our labors in their behalf, aud is
necessitated by no indifference on our part to their
welfare. Many of them will probably unite with the
African M. E. Church, some of them with the North
ern Methodist Church, while others, notwithstanding
extraneous influences and unkind misrepresentations
of our church, will remain with us.
Let us be content to leave to Providence to vindi
cate in due time our scriptural relation to the interest
of our colored people. For those who remained with
us the church should provide generously everything
important to their religious culture. Convinced that
your body takes the deepest interest in this subject
and will give it your special attention, wo deem it
only needful to speak oi it in this general and sug
gestive form; auu especially as the Bishops 'in their
Pastoral Address last August brought the subject
prominently to the notice of our people.
THE SEPARATE AND DISTINCT ORGANIZATION OF THE
CHURCH.
In respect to the separate and distinct organization
- j of our church, no reasons have appeared to alter our
I views, as expressed in August last. No proposal of
fraternal relations has come to us from others, neither
i do we regard ourselves as in anywise responsible for
j hostility evinced towards us. While the attempt to
• take forcible possession of our property and to disin-
i tegrate our church, declare the mind that would des-
; troy us, let it be ours to show the mind that was in
Liverpool, March 30.—The London Times says:
“There is too much reason to fear that the peace of
Europe is about to be broken by one of the least just
and least necessary wars of modern times, and we
heartily hope that England may hold aloof from it.”
London, March 30.—The Times’ “city article”
says :
The English funds opened without the slightest
symptom of recovery from the depressed prices of
yesterday, and subsequently experienced a further
Call, which, however, was temporary. The first and
last price was 86’s'a86}£ ( but at one time there was a
decline to 86>«f. The next account is fixed for the 0th
of May. The increased depression during the after
noon was consequent upon telegrams of a further
downward movement on the Frankfort and Paris
Bourse.
The Post says: We enter on the Easter holidays
under the most unfavorable circumstances. The Aus-
tro-Prussian difficulties excite great attention, and the
“Bears” are taking great advantage of the unsatisfac
tory position of affairs to depress prices as far aa pos
sible
THE JAMAICA INVESTIGATION.
The steamship Jamaica has arrived from Jamaica.
The Royal Commissioners were bringing the Investi
gation to a close aud expected toon to leave for
England. The moot important evidence obtained,
during the last fortnight had been respecting the ex
tent of the so-called rebellion, aud how far Governor
Eyre was justified in the assertion that the conspiracy
was general. Governor Eyre based his opinion on a
multitude of evinence both oral and documentary,
which, he said, ho received from custodians and other
gentlemen of property and influence iu the country;
but, 6trango to say, his Excellency, when called upon,'
was unable to produce the documentary evidence, and
had altogether forgotten from whom the oral evidence
had been obtained. Among the witnesses examined
hs to the means employed for the suppression of the
rebellion were General O’Connor, Colonel Nelson,
Lieutenant Brandt and Provost Marshal Ramsay. An
address of loyalty has been presented to his Excel
lency from over five thousand persons, chiefly blacks,
deprecating the massacres at Morant Bay, and
deploring the means employed to suppress the rebel
lion.
CONCENTRATION OF RUSSIAN TROOPS.
A communication to the Yzasfrom the banks of the
Dnlestet says that 00 battalions of infantry, 26 squad
rons of cavalry and 26 pieces of artillery are en
echalon, and within three day’s march of the Austrian
frontier. Moreover, .23 battalions of infantry, 20
squadrons of cavalry and 140 cannon arc concen
trated near the railway station of Balta. These troops
could enter Moldavia in three days by TeropoL The
district officers have received instructions to be pre
pared with the means of transport for the troops in
case of thoir entering the Danubian Principalities.
Our Washington Correspondence.
Washington, April 10, 1806.
Tils presage of tlw Civil Rights bill in the House of
Representatives to-day has taken no one by surprise.
On the contrary it was taken for granted such would
he the case, whenever the bill was taken up there.
There was quite an extensive jubilation in the city
last night on account of the passage of the bill. The
passage of this bill over the President's veto, is calcu
lated to give us all pause. It is not the passage of a
single bill, but it is the triumph of a policy. The
President and the Congres have come into collision
upon the great question of how the people of the se
ceded States shall be treated. The president initiated
and carried out to a certain point ‘a policy of enlarged
wisdom and magnanimity. The Congress took issue
with him aa toThe wisdom of this policy. After being in
session for three months, and infinite debate upon
tho subject, the decision of the Congress by a two-
thirds majority proclaims itself against the President.
As matters -now stand, the sceptre bus fallen
from the President’s hands, aud he iB a pris
oner in his own palace. In antiquity, under these
circumstances, the Supreme Ruler thUB selected would
not be able even to preserve his life. But civilization
has softened the manner of the age. The inquiry is
now, what use will the radicals make of their power ?
Can they count on the two-thirds who 'have voted to
gether to go to the last extremtiy with them't I should

It is said there is some dissatisfaction on the part

The London Morning Post of the 29th, says that the
of the government, is warlike, and great military
preparations are being made everywhere throughout
tho kingdom. In Austria the government is also
taking measures in anticipation of the coming struggle.
Prussia haa forwarded a circular dispatch to tha
minor German States, laying stress upon the inelB-
ciauoy of the appeal to the Federal Diet to settle the
present conflict. The dispatch further points out the
necessity jof the various States taking up a definite
position, on ono side or the other, of the struggle
which the armaments of Austria seem to render more
and more imminent. The dispatch accuses Austria of
having violated the convention of Gastein aud assumed

The Berlin journals represent that the Austrian ar
maments and preparations are very extensive, aud
some of them admit that in view of the Austrian pre
parations, orders may have been given by Prussia to
take such military preparations as may be indisnensa-
ble.
Vienna advices assert that Austria had determined
to put an end to the provisional state of affairs in the
Duchies, and if necessary will propose that the ques
tion be referred to an European Congress.
The Independence Beige, of the 29th, publishes in
telligence from Weimar, according to which the King
of Prussia, gave his consent on the 26th to csr-
Tfie Southern Relief Fair.—The Baltimore Ga
zette of Saturday, says :
'ike fair, without question, has so far proved a great
success, exceeding tho most sunguine evpeetations of
its progenitors, adding again auother rich flower to
the chaplet of Maryland charity, evidencing, also, that
there are some people north of us who can feel for
those of the same human family now suffering for the
necessaries of life.
We understand that the managers have concluded to
continue the fair during the whole of next week, to af-
lord opportunities to a great many friends from other
States to visit the great fair.
