Imroxtant Axorstion Movengnt.—Some 1 we ago we gave an account of a State Conventior abolitionists held at Albany—ot the various se! ments and principles promulgated by them—and ot sbeir purposes and prospects for future operatiows, hat Convention, after declaring to the wore their purpose to adhere to their organization, went on to state that they hud now a force of sixty-five thousand voters in the free States and those ad- joining. Since then a fresh movement has been started by the leaders of this singular factien, and their principal organ at Albany, called the Albany Patriot, has already given forth their purposes for the next year. Here is the bulletin :— Convention at Wasnivaron, March 1, 1845—To as- certain the views of the friends, in the different paris of the country, i spose that all who feel an interest in the matter, Mviog in the State of New York, (west of Albeny,) in the States of Ohio, Michigen, Ii!inois, Indi- ana, lowa and Wi consi: ould write J.C.

Bishop Onderdonk’s Trial. 5 The examination of the witnesses on this ¢ closed on Saturday, and the summing up of ¢ sel on both sides probably commences to-day, 2°¢ will be continued for several days. During the lest few days a great deal of the evidence and fe have leaked out in various directions, and the % ligions community is very much engaged in d. cussing the moral questions involved in this invec- tigation which affect the character and conduct of the Bishop, and in a great degree the character of the Church itself. We have already stated a number of particulars, which we believeto be cor- rect, in reference to this matter, and we now pro- ceed to give additional information. First of the witnesses. The witnesses produced by the prosecution, and on whose evidence the charg. were founded, number about five, as follows: —Rev. Mr. and Mrs. Butler, now of Boston, but formerly of New York; Miss Rudderow, of New York; and lastly, Mr. and Mrs. Bearre, of Fiush- ‘ing. The witnesses examined by the defence in favor of the Bishop are much more numerous; they are as follows:—Rev. Mr. Schroeder and son, Rev. Mr. Goodwiu, Dr. Higbee, Mr. Sweetzer, My. Franklin, Mr. Smith, Miss Rutter, Rev. M:. Dowdney, and the celebrated colored barber, Mr. Payer. There may have been one or two addition- al witnesses in both branches of the case, but their evidence was not at all material. These, then, are the witnesses. Now the next question is, what is the sum and sub- stance of their testimony? The facts proved are very much what we: stated briefly the other day. The witnesses against the Bishop tes- tify to the generalfact of his caressing, embracing, and kissing some of them. One of the witnesses testified, that the Bishop saluted her in the pre- sence of her husbaad, and was in the habit of em- bracing her—having been an intimate acquain!- ance in his family—whenever they met and parted; and that this was done publicly, and without any consciousness of impropriety. Another of the wit nesses testified something similar on the part of the Bishop, and aiso in presence of her sister and brother, or other relatives. The principal piece of evidence, which was supposed to criminate the Bishop most, has turned out to be entirely a mis- conception, and contradictory in all its purts—two witnesses who were expected to fave established it, having flatly contradicted each other. Such io the character of the evidence against the Bishop Of course, all the witnesses in favor of the Bishop, testity to the general purity and goodness of his character—that he was free, and frank, and ©. dial and fatherly in his manners, and in all his »- tercourse with the members of his church—par: - cularly those who were familiarly ecquainted wih him aad his family; but they disclaimed aff beli in the existence of improper motives on the paz: « ! the Bishop in all this conduct. It appears farther, that during the sitting of the recent General Epis- eopal Convention in Philadelphia, the gvhole ¢ this movement against the Bishop was concocted by certain prominent members of that convention, formerly from this city—that the rumors and sta‘e- menis on which the three presenting Bishops acted, have now dwindled down to something extremely like the famous story of three black crows. We could give a number of minute particulars of the evidence—the exact facts as testied to, many of them being extremely amusing, and very curious and interesting ; but it may, perhaps, be as well to wait until the whole of the examination and cross- examinations shall have been published under the authority of the Bishops themselves. That will, indeed, furnish to the reading world, a brochure even more interesting than any of the wiitings Eagene Sue or Bulwer’s novels. Such being the amount of the evidence—i « length, breadth and thicknees—the principal cho- racteristics and strongest features—the next qu tion to be discussed by the public hereafter, aud now by the lawyers on each aide, is the amovut of moral criminality which may attach itself -o the amiable propensities of the Bishop and his —/- fectionate practices towards his fair female pati ioners? The Bishop and his triends will, of cou... , deny the existence of any bad motive—any imi: - ral intention—any thing inconsistent with the highest honer of a man, or the utmost purity of a Christian. It is certainly very evident that such conduct may often lead to moral guilt, but not al- ways—not necessarily. If the Bishop were to be tried by the old blue laws of Connecticut, no dovbt he would be condemnedat once, for how could a man who embraces another man’s wife in his own presence, be acquitted of ail guilt under a code which condemned a man for kissing his own wife on the Sabbath day? Under what code the Bishop is to be tried, we know not. His judges are seventeen in number, and it 1s generally be- Jieved that there will be a warm and doubtful con- test between them as to their verdict. Seriously, however, the whole tri:l is a laugh- able and ridiculous thing, aud canresult in nothing honorable or creditable to the Episcopal church, eve a ate. spere- r A whatever w SS Shey ees In the hice gh ser, is that relative to caba's which are said to have io eelin her purpos i tion of feeling originating in another Purporr, | 5.) got up in relation to the two prime denne. which they dare not avow, the accusers of ti | a Such ridiculous efforts deserve nothing but con- Bishop have come before the public and given a so : Ba SRe femnity to ridiculous charges which will invol Pt Bae Tenney cee Uabaey | he peteces fe ‘ite involve fo) attempt to get upthose squabbles, and mak the whole thing in contempt.

Should such application be retused, however, the Col vec maeme will meet on the National grounds near the Capitol This now appears to be the project of the aboli- tionists of the North. Their journal expresses some trembling—some alarm—some doubtful ima- ginings about the expediency of the scheme; but they console themselves with the belief that by going to Washington, in the midst of the slave dis- trict, attended by several able-bodied abolitionists, they would be able to maintain their ground, and declare their purposes to the southern States. We think it is a very queer purpose, and may lead to a very singular result. At all events there is every probability that the abolitionists are wild and en- thusiastic enough to attempt this project, and hold this Convention, and thereby to exasperate and excite the Southern States still more. How can { we expect that South Carolina and the other States | will remain calm and quiet while such things are encouraged, and such interference with their in- itations attempted in the most offensive form in the very capital of the country, and under the eye of Congress? IrauiaN Orera.—The beautiful opera of Cene- rentola, by Rossini, is to be repeated to-morrow evening, the principal character by Madame Pico, whose éclat in the role has been very great. We have no doubt that there will be a good house; probably, a better one than usual. This opera is repeated in order to give a little additional time for the preparation making to bring out Semira- mide, one of the most splendid of operas, and to be produced with the whole force of the company During the last week the opera has been tolerably well supported, although hardly so well as the week before. Thus far, Lucrezia Borgia appears to be the greatest favorite. Weare disposed to think that Semiramide will outstrip any of the Operas yet produced in popularity and profit. Bythe by, we have received a number of commu- nications—some in French, some in Italian, od oiners in English, a!! commenting on the rece.! tvoversy about thc suerits, peculiarities, claiis, t . dons, and salavies of the two prime donne We do not think we can publish any of them, though some of them are remarkably well written, and exhibit a great deal of wit and humor. Some o/ the writers are very severe upon Willis; and others bring in Wikoff, aud a painter of the name of Flagg, we think—of whom we have never heard before—in a way that is quite amusing. One of thee articles reviews Willis’ musi- cal criticisms in a very caustic and amu- sing style. The writer cuts and slashes Willis very severely, aid shows that he is quiteugporant oi the elements of musical criticism, and dest! tute of musical education or knowledge. We eve also rather inclined to think that Willis has gone a little beyond his depth in venturing on musical criti- cism, and that he is much more at home in sacred or fashionable poetic efiasions, pencilliags by the jway, or descriptions of scenes at the Opera, than ina diseussion of the merits of the singers themselves, But the oaly point worthy of notice in this mat- kes SinauLar Frvanctan ReveLations.—We con- tinve in this day’s paperthe report of the libel suit brought by a financier named Rogers, against Thompson, the publisher of the ‘ Reporter,” which terminated last Saturday.

Aud again, this objection of Beza falls to the ground powerless, and seems to be ridiculous in itr nature, when Contrasted with the religious and eloquent strains which the holy fathers of the church have lavish ed upon the crucifix, and the e of that sacred embler displayed for the veneration of the people. Origen, ont of the most ancient fathers of the Greek church, says that “by placing it before our eyes, it fixes our attention on the death of the Saviour—passion will not prevai! against us, and carnal desires take flight.” But Eusebius who lived in the 4th century, and who is styled the father of ecclesiastical history, has’ trancmi ted to us, beyond: doubt, the custom of his day. He tells us that all whe lived before him, andthose ‘who flourished at that epoch, practised the same ; consequently we must be in commu: nien with all Christians in every age, because we prac- tice as they did. Wempke thesign of the Cross as they did, and we hope with the same spirit that animated ou: ancestors in primitive times. But were I to produce al) the authorities that present themselves in vindication of this usage, I should have to read volumes to you, and | must not tresspass pe yete time too long. But it is im- portant that we should ascertain who was the first indi- vidual who objected against the Crucifix. It was Con- stentine the Great, the first Christian Emperor, who first sacred veneration. The Cross wi ays venerated in the various ages of christianity; im every country into which the light of the Gospel waa ever introduced by the zeal and holy adventures of Chris- tian Missionaries, the Cross was the symbol of re- demption, and the glory of christianity and inse- parably tound with the promulgation of the Gos- pel; inasmuch that in every age preceding the pe- riod ot what is styled the reformation, we have no document to prove to us that there ever was the slightest objection made to the respect which was paid to the’Cross. On the contrary, the Cross was always placed as a remarkable sign upon the spires of churches, edifices and innumerable monuments, in all countries; on the continent, in the Eastern Church; in England under the Anglo Saxons, ae an object of respect, of veneration—and | may add in the language of St. Paul—of glory; and it is a remarkable fact, that even in the 9th century, when, as I have already stated, the spirit of Iconoclasm raged so high against sacted images and statues—that spirit never dared to question the propriety of respect to the Cross.

MONEY MARKET. Sunday, Deo. 29-6 P. M. Everything connected with the stock market centinues very quiet. The past week has been a very inactive one for stock speculations, and the present will not be much better. The holidays puta stop to all business transac- tions of consequence, and we cannot look for much ac- tivity in any department of trade until after the first of January. The transfer books of three stocks open this week, and from existing indications, we should judge that some serious loss ‘ould fall upon some parties. Very large deliveries will then take place, and should there anything transpire in the meantime to unfavorably affect the’money market, the bulls will have the losses to stand. The three stocks alluded to arethe Norwich and Worcester, Long Island, and Ohio 6's. For sometime past speculations to some ex'ent have been going on in to its, Lieber & Co., 3 where single oa nay igo be one in'the assembly probably ever had any just concep- tion of it before.

Long Island stock has been more firmly sustained than any other in the list,and it is possible those engaged in corner- ing it may be the sufferers. Ohio 6’s have fallen since the closing of the books to three per cent below par, at which large sales have been made. Norwich and Wor- cester has within the past week tailen three per cent, which, with the influence the payment of the three per cent dividend may have, it is possible purchasers at the opening may make money out of their operations. Every- thing, however, depends upon the movements made with- in the next twoorthree days.

A friend breathed into our ear his irrepressible emotions, during 9 moment’s pause after one of the most delicious parts of the Carnival, in the following passeges from the Ancient Mariner, than which nothing could be more expressive— Around, around, flew each sweet sound, Then darted to the Sun; Slowlyjthe sounds came back again, Now mixed, now one by one. s Sometimes a-dropping from the sky, I heard the skylerk sing; Sometimes all little birds that are, How Cd seem/d to fill the sea and oir, day—“ why can you so far degenerate from the glory of your fathers, that instead of bowing to the shield you bow to thi mbol on which the Nazareen died?” and he ordered it to be broken. But he was answered by no less a person than Octavius,who seid, “You charge us with adoring the wood of the Cross, and paying rea) adoration to it. We neither adore it nor desire to adore.” And we makethe same declaration; weneither adore it in the true acceptation of the term, nor desire to do s0.— We know that adorution is due to the Bupreme Being alone; that no creature is worthy of adoratien. Another proof of the Propriety of this usage is, that it is found in all liturgies of the eastern and tern churches; wherev. er the christian religion was established this custom war found just as we practice it. And though it may appear singular to persons differently educated, here we have it in all ancient liturgies, both of the cast and west; and ae thovo were oom by the most enlightened fathers of the christian re! ,it is not to be supposed that they should promote shything superstitious in the solemnities diabolical, as black arts, which were to be con- demned. Even there, by an extraordinary incon- sistency, these very Bishops made all who were put upon oath to destroy and ee an end to sacred ima ges, swear upon the crucifix, as well as upon the gospel. Thus in the very act of breaking and de- stroying sacred images, they were putting their seal and mark of their veneration for the crucifix I need not go past the annals of history to con- vince the most incredulous of the fact, that the Crozs was held in universal respec: in England, as well as upon the continent, before the day: of the retormation, But there 18 oae cir- cumstanee which deserves to be pointed out to this audience ; it 18 Utis; that the individual who first took away the crucifix from Queen Eh zabeth’s Chapel,after the reformation—for she still adhered to many of the usages of the church, even | ofthe church.

It ceased; yet still the sails made on A pleasant noise till noon, A noise like of a hidden brook In the leafy month of June, ‘That to the sleeping woods all night derstanding; but the adoration of the Cross we object to.” If by adoration is meant latria, or supreme adoration, it cannot be vindicated. But the qui is, what is the meaning of the word adoration? The adoration used to the Cross is that sori of adoration which is’ spoken of in the service of Christ; but in this sense it only means a respect, or reverence, or if you choose, veneration; and this we can prove. The word adarare, in Latin, is trans- the name of whose author we did not clearly hear, @ passage narrating the circumstances of the above act of sacrilege.)

There- fore, if it be proper to make the sign of the Cross in the administration of baptism, certainiy there is no impro- propriety in making it in other sacraments ; and if it is Proper to make it once, certainly it is not improper to make it as often asthe liturgy of the church directs.

God made man, who hung and bled for us on that once ignominious, but now glorious tree.

Theretore, we say, that if in the most enlightened—or that which styles itself the most enlightened nation in the world, used the Cross, how was it then discovered in the reign of Henry the Eighth, or a little later, that their ancestors were all idolaters, and covered with superstition ; and that it was the will of God, and consistent with true religion, to break the Cross in pieces, and not transmit it down to posterity. The Catholic Church, at all times, md in ail places retoined that encient symbol; and we find that in so doing, the Catholic church was right; be- cause there is now a strong disposition in the \lescen- dants of those who were so much opposed to the Cross to restore it to ite high place, and give it proper veneration and respect.
