Pursuant to adjournment, the Con vention was called to order at 9:30 am. After prayer the various Clergymen handed in their parochial .'reports for the past year. The roll of members not present on yesterday was called and the following responded : Rev. A. bmedes Rev. C. O. Brady, col.. Rev. E. R. Rick, Rev. F. J. " Men- doch, J. W: Patton, J. C. McRae, J. F.

Atkinson and Du Brutz Cutlar. Rev. J. Harding was appointed As - sistant Secretary. The proceedings of yesterday were read by the Secretary. Rev. Mr. Patterson thought that the Secretary should insert in his minutes some notice of the religious services of each day, and made a motion to that effect. , " On motion of S. L. Fremont, the mo tion "was laid on the table temporarily, and the proceedings were approved. In accordance with a resolution oner- ed by Rev. J. C.

It gave an account of his labors during the past year and was listened to with deep attention. The extent ol the territory ol the Diocese was so great, the Bishop said, as to make a division of the labors of the Episcopate neces sary, and he thought the most practica ble way ot doing this -was by the elec tion of an Assistant Bishop, &c. The number of confirmations during the year amounted to 3G5. Rev. Geo. Patterson moved that that portion ot the address in relation to the election ot an Assistant Bishop be re ferred to a special Committee of five. Carried, The Bishop appointed as said Com mittee Rev. A. bmedes. Rev. N. C. Hughes, Rev. Geo. Pafterson, A. J. De Rossett and W. IL Battle. On motion of J. S. Henderson, the remaining portion of the address was relerred to the Committee on the state ot the church. Rev. J. C. Iluske presented a memorial from a number ot members of St. Joseph's (colored) Episcopal Church of r ayetteville, asking to be lormed.into a separate Parish, and be admitted into union with the Convention. The- me morial was referred to the Committee on new Parishes, and subsequently re ported upon favorably. s. L. iremont, from the Committee to revise the rules of order, submitted a report recommending an additional rule changing the manner of voting in elec tions. By the new rule only the name of the Parish is to be c411ed) and not ot the delegates as heretofore, one delegate, as chairman, to announce the vote of the Parish. The report was laid on the table temporarily. Revs. A. Smedes, A. A. Watson and George Patterson submitted reports irom various committees, which were accepted and referred. W. H. Battle, from the special com mittee appointed for the purpose, sub mmeu a lorm or a deed to be used in the conveyance of property to the Trus tees,of the Diocese The Treasurer, A. J. DeRossett, sub mitted a report, which was appropriate ly referred. Rev. Mr. Bronson offered a series of resolutions, recommending that the liisuop appoint a committee ol one or more in each Parish to co-operate with tne building committee : also that a committee be appointed, consisting of the Bishop, two clergymen and two lay men to consider the matter of purchas ing property, to be used in the estab lishment ot a Diocesan school for girls. 1 he first resolution was adopted, and the second iu regard to the . Diocesan school was adopted. A. J.

The report of the Committee on Fin ance was taken up lor consideration. 1 he nrst resolution ot the report. changing the present system of assess- ment,xwas rejected. The second resolu tion recommends that the salarv of the Bishop be fixed at $3,000 per annum. such great difficulty is experienced in providing for the pay oi an Assistant Uishop On motion ot W. R. Cox, the. con sideration of this resolution was post poned until the committee in regard to the election of an Assistant Bishop should submit a report. The third resolution of the report authorized the Treasurer to drop from his accounts stock which has become worthless, and recommended the- ap pointment of a committee of three to designate the stock to be so dropped. The resolution was adopted, and the Bishop appointed Messrs. De Rossett, Strange and Fremont as the committee. The fourth resolution, recommending that no change be made in the present system of support ot Diocesan missions, was adopted. x . The new rule of Order in reference to the manner of voting, reported in the morning by S. L. Fremont, was taken up for consideration. X A long discussion ensued, which was I participated in by Messrs. 8. L. Fremont, 1. P. Battle, J. W. Atkinson, J. G. Martin, Robt, Strange and others. The question was finally put in this shape : " When a vote b'y Orders is called for, the lay vote of each Parish shall be cast by one delegate, to be selected by the delegation, provided that any delegate voting in the minority may have his vote recorded." On the adoptidn of this, S. L. Fre mont called for a vote by Orders, which resulted in the rejection of the proposed new rule of Order yeas 11, nays 17. Rev. A.

After some debate, Mr. J. G. Martin moved to amend the amendment by making the salary $2,000. S. L. Fremont withdrew his amend ment, aud the question recurring on theamendment4of J. G.

Alter a rather lengthy debate, on motion of K. P. Battle, the words "last ing and prayer" were stricken from the resolution. The shape in which the resolution finally passed was, that morn ing service should take place at i) o'clock, and after the administration of the Communion, the Clergy proceed to some place and make a nomination. The fourth resolution that the Clergy submit the nomination to the Laity, sit ting with closed doors, was next read and adopted. By iesolution, the Churches of the Good Shcppard, Ridgeway, Warren county, and Ascension at Hickory Tav ern, Cataw ba county, were admitted iuto union with this Convention. S. L. Fremont offered a resolution di recting the Secretary to have the pro ceedings of this Convention printed within this Diocese, provided it could be done as well and as cheaply here as elsewhere.

The following statement has been carefully prepared for us by Mr. B. L. Bingham, with Lynn Adams. Esq.. Commission Merchant, showing the general cotton movement in the city of Raleigh for the season of 1872-'73. commencing Sep tember 1st, 1872 and ending on the 24th of May, 1873.

It will thus be seen that Raleigh is rapidly becoming a cotton market of no small proportions. We aie requested to state that planters should be more care ful in the future in preparing their cot ton for this market, as it will be closely inspected and will be sold on its grades Seed and motes are often found with the liuc. By attention to this latter fact and to the often bad packing, the farmer and ginner will save much. Examination The annual examina tion of the Students of the Raleigh Male Academy will commence on the 2nd of June, (next Monday,) and continue three days. The public generally, and the patrons especially, are invited to attend. This school numbers about 75 pupils. Dr. Babcock killed a rabid d oar on his farm, near the city, yesterday.

Jeter's Return, Irom Rome. by our own reporter. SECOND DAY'S PROCEEDINGS. Richmond, May .29th, 1873. Dear News .The profound impres sion which this great Baptist gathering has made on the good people of Rich mond may be seen from the following extract taken from to-day's Enquirer: "Every train that came into Richmond yesterday was freighted with delegates and visitors to the Baptist General As sociation. During the morning our streets were thronged with strangers, and a more stirring eene was never presented in the annals of the city. Our people generally threw open their houses and hospitality reigned supreme with all classes." , The General Association met in the 2d Baptist Church of Richmond last night, the church in which it was or ganized jity years ago. Rev. J. L. M. Curry, D. D., LL. D.,' was chosen Presi dent, Judge Jones Gen. Fields, Rev. T. Hernden and Dr. A. B. Brown Vice-Presidents, and Rev. J. T. Johnson Secretary. Dr. Curry, after Mhanking the body for the, compliment paid him, and reiernng to the interesting sur roundings ot the hour, introduced Rev. C. C. Belting, D. D pastor of the church,who welcomed the nineteen hun dred delegates from all parts ot the Union, in an address of welcome full of hearty cordiality, and abounding in passages of beauty and eloouence. To this speech of welcome, the representa tives of the different Stated responded in brief addresses, as they were called out by the President. Horatio Gates Jones, leading lawyer of Philadelphia, and the Secretary of the Philadelphia Baptist Association, now in its 105th year, and the mother of the Baptist churches of Virginia and North Carb- na, was first heard. He was followed by Rev. II. C. Graves, of Piovidence, R. Dr. E. T. Hiscox spoke lor New York, Dr. Wm. Hague for New Jersey, Dr. J. W. M. Williams, of Baltimore, for Maryland, Dr. T. n. Pritchard for North Carolina, Rev. F. W. Eason for South Carolina, Dr. Freeman for Illinois, and Rev. W. P. Walker for West Virginia Other States were represented in the body, but the late hour forbade further proceedings, Of course these speeches were short, but they were quite spirited and receiv ed with much enthusiasm, while good fellowship ruled the hour. The speaker for North Carolina, however, did not say what the Dispatch puts into bis mouth. " His soul had been thrilled by this great memorial monument. Its in fluence had crossed the border and aroused the Baptist brotherhood of North Carolina to attempt a similar monument, and he should go back renewed lor yet greater exertions." What he did say was this : "Mr. Pres ident I have looked in vain over this vast audience lor the tall form ot Dr Wingate, from whom as the President ol a rival college, in a sister ctate, a response to your cordial welcome would have come more gracefully. I have watched with thrilling interest the pro gress of this monument. Anything con nected with liberty touches my heart. I was born in Charlotte, N. C. For years my grand father, Dr. Samuel Henderson, kept the original documents of the Mecklenburg Declaration of Indepen dene, entrusted to him by his friend, John McAlexander, and one ot the ear liest recollections of my life was the booming of cannon which ushered in the 20th of May. the anniversary ot the day, which makes old Mecklenburg illustrious in the history of freedom. I do not know, sir, that any ofcmy ances tors suffered for conscience sake, but, sir, my wift's great grand father; Samuel Brinsen, was put in jail in Newbern, N C. because he would not have his babies baptized. The Virginia Baptists have done nobly their pastors and their peo pie have made many sacrifices, and covered themselves with honor by their munificent contributions to the cause of sanctified learning. I was once a Virginia Pastor, but I left the Statu too soon, for 1 should have regarded it as the privilege of a life-time to have engaged with you in this great enter prise. The history of Virginia is all lustrous and bright with the deeds of her noble sons, but this Memorial Enter prise deserves to rank in honor w ith her most lllustrous memories, and the name of the man whose brain first formed the conceptions, will be honored and reared by posterity. We haye begun a like tunilf fnr Walff F'nrpet frp in N ( and I shall go back to my native State nerved and invigorated for the work which lies before us, by the spirit which I have seen displayed by the brethren of this noble old Commonwealth." I correct this misstaierrent of the Dispatch because it is not just to North Carolina . Baptists to say that they caught the idea of endowing their Col lege from Virginia. For several years, your reporter happens to know that there have been friends of Wake Forest who have been urging its endowment, and the enterprise which the Baptists have undertaken there would have been attempted it there never had been a memorial monument in Virginia. To'day has been the climax of inter est of this most wonderiul meeting. On the College grounds an immense pa vilion; costing between fifteen hundred and two thousand dollars, had been erected,; and under it were gathered about 10,000 people to commemorate the Jubilee. Rev. James Fife, one of the fifteen delegates who, fifty years ago, formed the Association, delivered a brief historical address, after which Dr. Curry made the great speech of his life. He has been for years distinguished as one of the first orators of thiscountry. He has made many celebrated speeches in the Congress ot the United and Con- lederate mates, out ne aountiess never delivered so great a speech on so great a subject, and before suchan audier.ee. His theme was "The Baptists and Re ligious Liberty," and for two hours and a half he riveted the attentionxand thrilled the hearts of that vast con- course ot human souis. nis speecn will be published, we learn, and I eball be much mistaken if it does not create a sensation in tne religious wonu. HIGHWAY ItOBISEIlY' TWO WELL-KNOWN "SHARPERS" THE AUTHORS OF THE ' " OUTRAGE! TRIAL BEFORE THEK Yesterday morning an old citizertxof this county by the name of John Young, living fifteen miles South of the city. . - . brought in two bales of cotton, which he sold to Lynn Adams, who gave him a check on the Raleigh National Bank (minus his store account) for $125. Alter drawing the money from the Bank Mr. Young went first to the store of Julius Lewis, Gulley & Bro., Cheatham & Bro., and J. J. Overby, at which places he made some small purchases. He t'.ien went to a blacksmith shop on Wilmington street, paid for the shoeing ot a horse, and then went again to the store oi Lynn Adams, where he paid for a plow for his nephew. He put his book, containing about $100, in his side pocket and went out to his cart, stand ing in front of the store. "While at his cart, he was first approached by a man who asked him to change a nve dollar bill for him. He replied he had no time to look over his money. He was immediately afterwards approached by another man who slap ped him on the breast in a laminar way and asked what he was paying for cotton-choppers. He replied that he was not in want of hands, when both of the party left him,- going in the direction of Wilmington street. In less than three minutes after the party, left he missed his pocket-boook and at ence applied to police headquarters. Assistant Chief of Police Dunston set to work at once, and in less than an hour he succeeded in ar resting Frank Harrison and Dick, Crockett, who were recognized by Mr. loung as the parties who approached him. at the wagon. They were brought before His Honor, the Mayor when Mr. Young, as the prin cipal witness, testified to the facts as above stated. Job Wyatt, a salesman in the store of Wyatt; Green & Co., testified' that he saw and heard the man Harrison ask Mr. Young for the change, and Crockett was Bitting, on the curbstone near tne cart above referred to. The prisoners were taken in a private room and a thorough examination ol their person made, but no money other than small pocket change was found. A material witness tor the estate was sent for, but could .not be found, when the Mayor gave his decision as follows : The testimony ot Mr. Young recog nizing the prisoners as the men who ap proached him at the wagon where his money was lost, and this testimony corroborated by the witness, Mr. Wyatt, together with their former record, 1 will bind them over in t,he sum ot 500 each, for their personal appearance at the June term ot Wake Superior Court. In default of bail they were committed to jail. The men charged with the commis sion of this high-handed outrage.Frank Harrison and Dick Crockett, are what is known as "Saturday night Wilmington street sharpers" thoroughly accom plished in the arts of the "string" game, and every other species ot rascality known in the vocabulary of low crime. They are notorious as the meanest and mest persistent rogues in the city, and have on several previous occasions aided in the enlargement of the Mayor's Cduit docket. The decision ot the' Mayor was iust and lair, .nd gave universal satisfaction. Dangerous Practice City Au thorities Make JNotice. We notice that the street hands, iu cleaning out the gutters in various places ou Fayette ville and West Hargett streets, and pos sibly elsewhere, are throwing the filth thus removed into the middle of the streets instead of hauling it off, causing no pleasant or healthy odor to pervade these localities. At this season of the year too much precaution cannot be ta ken to prevent the creation ot disease, and'the city authorities should adopt all possible sanitary measures. "Bill Arp" to be in Raleigh. Theo. N. Ramsey, Esq., yesterday re ceived a letter Irom "Bill Arp," the Georgia humorist-and lecturer, stating that he would lecture in Raleigh some time during June. He could not say what time,in consequence of sickness in his family. The citizens of Raleigh will no doubt show their appreciation of this humorist. He will lecture at no other point in this State.

When discovered, the fire was in the upper floor of Haley, Nurse & Co.'s warehouse among the workshops,' and the flames issuing irom the rodJ Piles ot light material packed away were like so much tinder.Xand before the alarm could be given, great volumes ot flame were rolling up fifty feet into the air and clouds of smoke rising. The heat generated was intense, andx in 20 minutes the upper stories of the build ing, trom iront to, rear, a distance ot two hundred feet, were a mass of glow ing flame. The tire worked back into the stables of George F. Bonney, on Bumstead Place, which, runs out of Boylston street near Washington street, and destroyed it.
