Convention of the Episcopal Church of Virginia.

--The next Convention of the Episcopal Church of this Diocese will be held in Richmond on the 15th of May, in conformity with the following notice issued by Rt. Rev. Bishop Meade:

Whereas, by the 1st Article of the Constitution of the P. E. Church of Virginia, it is ordained that ‘"in the event of the existence of an epidemic disease or any other good cause, rendering it necessary or expedient to alter the place fixed on for any meeting of the Convention, the Bishop may change the place, or the time, or both, at his discretion;" ’ and whereas, the present state of our country and diocese seem to require a change of the place appointed for the meeting of our Convention, therefore, 1, William Meade, Bishop of the P. E. Church of the Diocese of Virginia, do hereby give notice that the same is removed from the city of Alexandria to that of Richmond, at which latter place the Convention will assemble on Wednesday, the 15th of May next, at 11 o'clock, in St. Paul's Church.
