Emendations lor the better regulation of

meiitand discipline ot the Protestant Episcopal
Church in this country, which, on being passed
by a concurrent vote ot both orders, are sent to
the House of Bishops for confirmation.

This boat was built in this city, and great care

promptly.
Her entire cargo will be taken between decks,
which will not only prevent damage to goods in
case of snaeging, but will add much to the condi
tion of packages discharged from her. Mr. M. A.
Cohen is the agent of this line in Savannah, where
