DR. BROOKS MADE A BISHOP. The Dtatfirlr tit Divine to SaeMd tbt L.mtm Bbbp Paddock mt MaMaebKietU. Boston, April 30. In the Protestant Episcopal Convention for the Diocese of Massachusetts to day the event of special interest was the election of a successor to the late Bishop Paddock.

For some time past the Church in gen eral has been loosing forward to tbis con test. The leading candidates were Rev. Phillips Brooks, of Trinity church, Boston, so well known as a former resi dent of Philadelphia, and Rev. Dr. Salter lee, of Calvary church.

New York. Both of these gentlemen have more than once heretofore been candidates tor toe man opric, but Dr. Brooks especially has been averse to leaving the rectorship of Trinity. His popularity amongst all classes in this section increases year by year; sun mere was some considerable opposition raised to him on account ot his liberal views. When the Convention met, however, it was evident that a choice would be quickly made.

Dr. Brooks received 92 of the 154 clerical votes and a bare majority of the lay vot. His election, ot course, will sever his relations with Trinity as rector, but will not take him from Boston, a tact which the public in general regard with entire sat eiflction.
