The conventions of the Dioceses of Illinois 

 and Pennsylvania have passed resolutions, pro- 

 viding for the division of each diocese. In Illi- 

 nois, the proposed new diocese will contain 

 20,266 square miles, and a population of 1,137,- 

 708, while the old diocese will contain 25,224 

 square miles, and a population of 1,406,205. 

 The new diocese will bo bounded, as indicated 

 in the Bishop's Convention address, by a line 

 running east and west on the south line of 

 Hancock, McDonough, Fulton, Mason, Taze- 

 well, McLean, Ford, and Iroquois Counties, and 

 the sum of $40,000 will be raised as a fund for 

 the support of the episcopate. 



The institution of a Federate Council, con- 

 sisting of the bishops and delegates of all the 

 dioceses of one State has now been fully intro- 

 duced into the Church. The Federal Council 

 of the Dioceses of New York, Western New 

 York, Long Island, Albany, and Central New 

 York, was held in the city of New York in 

 October. 



In November, 1869, a conference of the Evan- 

 gelical party of the Church, held in Phila- 

 delphia, adopted a resolution, requesting the 

 bishops supposed to sympathize with the prin- 



ciples of the party, namely, the bishops of 

 tin Dioceses of Ohio, Delaware, Pennsylvania, 

 Massachusetts, Virginia, Kentucky, Iowa, Kati- 

 xt-. mid Nevada, to consider whether then- b< ; 

 grounds fur presenting for trial any (High 

 Church) hishop, or bishops, who may b- ;:!- 

 loged to hold and to have taught publicly, or 

 privately and advisedly, doctrines contrary to 

 tho-,- held l>y the Protestant Episcopal Church 

 in the Tinted States. Some of the bishops, to 

 whom this request was addressed, in emphatic, 

 terms expressed their dissent from the spirit 

 of the resolution of the Philadelphia Confer- 

 ence, and declined to bo a party in its execu- 

 tion. The first to express himself in this sense 

 wu the Bishop of Delaware. The Bishop of 

 Pennsylvania, endorsing the declaration of the 

 Bishop of Delaware, addressed a letter to one 

 of the members of the Philadelphia Conference, 

 in which he says of the request : " After care- 

 fully weighing the subject-matter of your com- 

 munication, I beg leave to say that I think the 

 resolution submitted to me is unwise, uncanon- 

 ical, and invidious, and injurious to the best 

 interests of the Protestant Episcopal Church. 

 I therefore decline, as one of the bishops 

 named, to take action in the premises."

 Church party of the Church were held in New 

 York, on October 18th, 19th, and 20th. Among
