In the course ef his remarks, he denounced the bishops of New York and New Jersey for per- mitting or ordering the investigation. The case is now in the hands of the Commit- tre, who are to record tucir decision on the charges in writing, whether guilty or not guil- ty. and if guilty to Specify the punishment to be inflicted. A copy of t placed without del and a secone .toreth’= vith all the evidence and papers © the cise to be seu! to the bishop of the diocese, It will then remain with the bishop to affirm or annul the pruceed- ings, and im the case of the accused being found guilty he can modity the punishment fixed by the Court, but has no power to increase it. If convicted, the conviction and punishment mus? he announced in a public church before at least three clergymen, and as many others as care to be present. It is generally understood that the Committee will find Mr. Tyng guilty, and that Le will re- ceive an “admonijion” sor violating the canon, —N. WV. Express, Wth. A Scotch Bukacn or Promise Case.—A breach of promise case of rather a peculiar kind recently occurred in the Scotch courts. The Hon. W. H. Bruce Ogilvy, Lord Airlie’s brother, happened in the autumn of 1865 to put up at the Crewe Arms Hotel, Crewe; wus smit- ten at first sight with the charms of Miss Pugh, the manager of that hosteiry, and after aday or two proposed to her to become his wile. The affeir went on for some months, the usual love tokens were presented and settlements discussed, but before the year was over Mr Ogilvy bad changed his mind, and after first trying without effect. to convince Miss Pugh that a marriage with him would only make her miserable, flatly refused to fulfill the compact In the spring of the following year he married the daughter of a pew-opener at the Jewish Synagogue, Birmmgham. For this injury to her feelings and prospects in life, Miss Pugh claimed $25.0 damages, which the jury cut down to $6,000, Eriscorat Cavrcu.—The recent election of Rev, Dr. Paddock, of Detroit, as missionary bishop of the Episcopal Church in Oregon and Washington Teritory, seems likely to. make some trouble. Many contend that the election ‘was not canonical on the ground that there was not a quorum of the House of Bishops present ‘at the meeting in New York, The foreign m: sionary bishops are members of the house by a recent canon, and, counting them, there was no quorum present, and only a bare quorum, not counting them.” Twenty bishops ouly were present, and Dr. Paddock was electad by eleven votes on the ninth ballot, Rey. O. W. Whitaker. of Nevada, receiving ten votes until the ninth balloting. Mr. Whitaker was the candidate of the more moderate of the bishops, though Dr. Paddock is not regarded as an extreme man in the high church direction! Tax Loxvon Buiter states that it has long been known that the presence of moulds in rooms is highly injurious to human health, and under certain conditions of ‘dampness and bad ventilation it is no uncommon thing to see mildew run all over @ large expunse of whitr- wash wall or ceiling. The Builder adds :—« If this mould occur ina living room, and it be not destroyed, it frequently brings on a com- plication of painful symptoms in the human patient, or, in other words, the membranes and tissues of the body sre known to offer a fittin, habitation for the plunt, and it is transferre: from the original objects to the human frame. A weak solution of bypo-chlorate of lime has recently been recommended as a destroyer of moulds in rooms. 2 DEATH oF 4 CATHOLIC ‘e8T.—Father Mat- thew Sanders, a well-known Catholic priest, died in Frederick, Maryland, on the 2d inst. by He was born in Holland in 1807, and was there ordamad in 1531, The next year he came to America and entered be povitae of the pecker’, = —s ha ahd iceship he was ade ‘of the mise ~ in counties, every- anes eathareeraimans be was removed to the Eastern Shore, where continued the life of an apostolic Priest until within a few months of his death.” Nannow Escavz or BAYARD Tayton.—Ac- cording toa letter from Italy, Side at Naplent which dentroyed to miany nyt slide at Na) wi He occupied. with his family, a house eco ‘which was one of those overw! occu Tento.

Mr. Simo d the following preamble and rewiu Whereas, an effort has been made b; of Washington and Georgetown to Cong jadi uence sto consolidate Washingtoa, Georze- town and the County of Washington by repre- | tizens were in | senung that a majority of our favor of surrend:ring our char: nd thereby taking the power of controlling and reguiatinz the affairs of Georgetown out of the hands ot ur citizens; and whereas, the Corporation aud Butcuers’ markets have been vexed questions im this Corporation for the last three or four years. and the citigens of Georgetown aypear to be divided on that subject: Therefore, He it Resctoed, de, That an expression of the tense of the voters be taken on the subjects of consolidation and the Corporation and Butch. ers’ markets at the coming election for or against either. and that the Mayor be requested to procure tickets and have-them distributed at the polis at the commg election to all voters. Mr. Simms advocated the adoption of the preamble and resolution as the only fair mode of obtaining an expression of opimon of thr Voters upon the topics agitating the publ mind. The butchers’ market question had been taken up by the cals of Georgetown t> catch unwary Conservatives or oorats, He referred to the course of Dr, Chas. H. Gra. £1n, president of the Couse:l, who had in that body and elsewhere, be said, denied that bis party (the Republican) would make an issue of politics at the municipal election on Mou- day neat, while at a public meeting of colored prisons, held at Ebenezer Church on Mondiny night, that same gentleman had publiciy avowed that the Union Market-honse party and the Kadicals should act as one on the day of election, im order to defeat the Butchers’ ticket, made up, as he termed them, of bitter rebeis, and men who bad straggled in the late war to defeat the Unien cause. The negroes ot | Georgetown were, under the teachings of Dr Cragin, Hon. Mr. Mullins and others, Union Market-house men to a man, and therefore be, (Mr. Simms,) as a Democrat, and on a ticket in opposition thereto, would not get a colored vote in the town. Mr. Cropley opposed the preamble and res olution. The butchers’ market question had al- ready been settled,and yet the subject had again been brought up and a ticket framed with men of that class on it. He regarded the mart: house qurstions as the ones at issue, and such would the yote be decided. This ques- ton had already been disposed of by the Board: and it Was wrong to <pring the issue again. An +xpression upon the subject of consolidation was eminently proper, but there were a ban dred Conservatives, of men like himself, who did not care to be dragged mtoan issue which had been dispored of, as the butchers’ market had, and the resuit would be that the votes wotld not be cast at all. Mr. Thomas was opposed to reopening the market-house question again, and therefore submitted the following sub-titute Whereas, at a serivs of meetings lately held at | Merket-house Hall with reference to annexa- von to Washington city; aud whereas a strong desire was manifested to have an expression of the people of this town upon so important a subject: Therefore, be it Kesolecd, That the Mayor be and he is hereby to invite, by proclamation, all per. ed toa yotr, to deposit, at ‘the nex -lvction for members of the Boards of Aldermen and Common Council. a ballot, on which shall be written «For at aexation,” or “Against an- nexation;” and the Mayor is further requested to have ballots printed in conformity to thi« resolution. Mr. Simms endcrsed the substitate, so far as it Went, but thought it was all important that &n opportunity should also be offered the citi- zens to express themselves upon the butchers and market-house questions. Lt was the pre- rogative of the people to vote as they chose; but he was sure that, after Dr. Cragin’s speech, the negrors and white Radicals to a man would vote in favor of the Union market-house ques- ton, and against the dissenting butchers’ party Mr. Thomas insisted upon the question upon bis substitute. He then briefly replied to Simms, and proclaimed his determination to fight to the last the e——_ of the Corpora- tion market-house. 1t was, he said, nothing more than right to vote on the nexation, for that subject hi mended by citizens in meetings. Mr. Liyde also opposed Mr. Simms’ resolu- lution. “By no act of bis ld any encour- agement be given the disaffected butchers to break down the interests of the Corporation The effect of the adoption of the resolutions would be to reopen the market-house qurs- tious, and he could not support it. He had no fayors to ask, and would act as his judgment dictated. ‘The vote on Mr Thomas’ substitute was then taken, and it was adopted. Mr. Simms submitted bis preamble and reso. lution as distinct prepositions; but objection was made to the third reading, and therefore, under the rules, they le over.

The Recorder, before putting the question, returned bis most heartfelt thanks to the mem- bers for their uniform courtsy and kindness to him during the important and, sometimes, protracted sessions for the past twelve months. and expressed the hope that ail might meet again under the same circumstances. Mr. Simms, on behalf of the Board, tendered thanks to the Recorder for the able’ and im- portial manner in which be bad discharged bi~ duties as 7 Wg oflicer, and for his marked kindness and forbearance fowards them during the term which they had served together. The Clerk, Mr. Laird, also returned bis ac- knowledgements of the courtesies ¢x- tended him, and wished all the members a happy future, and, if they desiredit, a union again under ‘the same circumstances; after which the Board adjourned vine die.
