Sunday Herald, Tre Rieu? or Eriscopat Ciercy —The Supreme Court of New Jersey, at its iast ses. sion, refused a new trial in the case of Rey. Wm. J, Lynd, former rector of the St. Barna. bas Chureb, at Roseville. The action was for forcibly preventing a minister trom preaching in the church aud cccupying the parvcaial school-house. Upon argument of the rule the court decided as follows . A minister of the Protestant Episcops! Chureb has either the possession of the Vhurca oF @ right in the nature of an easement wo enter therein, on all occasions set apart in the patis!, for divine services, and a substiutial inter- ference with such right will lay the ground o: an action at law. 2.

The editor does not seem to take the matter much to heart. In case the planuff gets a verdict, he pro- poses, im the interest of fair play, that Jay Gonld should have a share of the spoils. “Ur, in the Tribune's own words: “We propose that James should give Jay one-half of his damages, and with the o'ber halt establish ar. asylum near Binghamton for *Decayed and Indigent Stockholde-s who have Jost their meney in Erie.” This would be a splendid charity, and, in ordered to have i' well managed, Directors Tweed and Sweeny should be on the Board of Direetion, or, better still, he might devote a portion to’ relieving Judge Barnard from his deplorable poverty, or to endow that celebrated and mysterious “Rolling Mill.” TRE Prize kina. ‘The absorbing topic among the fraternity is the approaching fight between Hicken and Maguire, set down for the 23d instant, in Virginia.

The report of Hon. B. H. Hulburd, Comp- troller of the Currency, contains mach infor- mation relative to National Banks and the finances. Under the head of specie payments the Comp- troller says :—«“The subject of specie payments naturally comes up whenever the currency question is discussed, and much ingenuity has Deen exercised in devising plans for an early resumption. The principal obstacle tw specie payments may be found in the statement of the ublic debt of the United States fo! Jetober. IF68, under the head of -d BO mterest,” as tellows. United Sta’ notes, $356,(21,073, fractional currency, $32,153,014. making together $38-.954,6-8.17 of Government hotes circulating as money and desigued to take the place of gold snd silver by being made a legal tender for all debts, pub! id private, except duties on imports and interest on tne Donded debt. As long as the peopl= prefer an inferior currency—interior hecause irredeema- ble and imconvertable except at a heavy dis- count—they will have it to the en xclusion of precious metals, Whenever the people con- clude that tt is more economical to condact the business of the country on a specie basis they can obtain specie payments by making provis- ion throveh their Representatives in Cor for the payment or withdrawal of the preseut depreciated paper corrency, issued and kept ia circulation by the Government; aud whenever the people wish to restore the credit of the ma- tion they can do it through their Representa. tives in Congress by removing the only bDarrassment that stauds in the way, by direc ig that provision shall be made for the pay- ment of & flonting indebtedness amounting to $550,0010,000, comsisting of are Dever paid, and so est the United States is a solvent debtor, able aud willing to pay every debt as it becomes due. Specie payments and the restoration of public credit are within the reach and depend upou the will of the people of the United States.” The report closes with amallusion to free banking, which we copy re. Whenever Congress shall inaugurate measures looking to theappreciation of United States notes to a gold standard, the effect of such measures will probably be to diminish the volume of such notes in circulation. To what extent the re- duction would have to be carried in order to Place them permanently on a specie basis would at present be amere matter of specula- tion. Doubtless a large amount might be carried, with profit to the Government and ‘with benefit tothe public, as soon as the effect of euch measures becomes apparen', by tae gradual approach ot legal tender notes to a par with gold. The restrictions imposed upon the issue of circulating notes by nstional banks may be Safely removed, provided the estab- lishment of @ central redeeming agency in the city ot New York, at which all mauonal bank | notes are redeemable at par, shall be required by law. Any inconvenience resulting from a reduction of legal tenders may thus oe rem: died, end the remedy will be in the hands o/ the only competent judge of the necessities of the case, the busiuess public of the United States.
