NEW YORK HERALD. ? Friday, October 20, 1847. New York, TO THE PUBLIC. NEW ARRANGEMENTS. We have just completed arrangements with Messrs. Richard M. Hoe & Co., of this city, for the construction of new machinery to strike off the Herald, by which we shall be enabled to work from twenty to twenty-five thousand im- pressions per hour, being equivalent to a num- ber varying from ten to twelve thousand full sheets in the same space of time. This ma- chinery will embrace a steam engine of com- plete and novel construction; and also two large revolving printing presses, on a new principle, and of a power beyond anything that exists at present in Ecrope or America. Mr. Richard M. Hoe, one of the most ingenious men of the day, is the inventor of this new machinery. It will involve a cost of from twenty-five to thirty thouand dollars; but the great po- pularity of this journal, and its present and increasing patronage, fully warrant the ex- penditure of so large an amount, in order toenable us to meet our engagements with, the generous public. There is no hazard in the ap- plication of this new machinery to the news- paper press. On a certain scale, however, these principles are now in successful operation in a neighboring city. prise we only enlarge their dimensions and multiply their powers. The necessity of this large expenditure has been forced upon us by the increasing patronage of the public, both in the shape of advertising and inourcirculatien. So great has been the acces- sion to both of these departments, that, for some time past, we have been under the necessity of absolutely 1efusing new advertisements, and new subscribers, in consequence of our inabili- ty to ‘afford space for the one, or numbers In this new piece of enter- to the other, arising from the machinery at pre- sent employed. By our new arrangements we will be enabled to issue a double sheeted Herald every morning, if necessary, at the rate of from twenty to twenty-five thousand single or ten to twelve thousand of full impressions per hour. This will put it in our power to gratify our ad- vertisers and supply subscribers, for the next few years at least. In another point of view, the new machinery will enable us to avail ourselves of the wonders and miracles daily produced by the electric tele- graph. At this moment, we publish every morn- ing the commercial markets and important news of the day previous, from the cities of Pittsburg, Cincinnati, Buffalo and Mentreal, embracing the aggregate distance of between two and three thousand miles from the centre of operations in the city of New York. In less than two years, the electric telegraph will be extended to the extremities of this ‘great re- public; and we shall then issue the news and mar- kets of New Orleans, and of other distant points, with as much regularity on the morning of the day after they are known at those different cities, as we now do the markets of New York itself. Arrangements are already completed for extend- ing lines of telegraph to the aggregate distance of from ten to fifteen thousand miles. The inge- nious invention of Mr. Hoe, by which two large revolving presses, with their attendant steam engine, throwing off from twenty to twenty-five thousand impressions per hour, equal’to ten or News from Europe. The steamship Philadelphia, from Cherbourg, has been at sea nearly nineteen days, and the Caledonia, from Liverpool, has been at sea near- ly ten days. The former is several days over- due, and the latter will be due on Wednesday next, giving her fourteen days passage- If the French steamer sailed on her regular day, she may be looked for every moment. She is anxiously expected, and there will be no acti- vity in any of our markets until later intelli- gence from Europe is received. There have been so many rumors afloat relative to the proba- ble position of affairs in the old world, that it is impossible to form any idea beyond them. We have no doubt but that these reports will be par- tially realized; that the revulsion was still in ac- tive progress, and that the suspensions were still going on. It is possible we may have something by the Caledonia, relative to the railway move- ment, that will enable us to form some opinion of the probable course those interested will pur- sue in the premises. By the last arrival we re- ceived accounts of meetings which had been held for the purpese of taking into consideration the policy of suspending those works, and it is very probable this movement may have become gene- ral. The panic had reached such a point that all and every one was devising some plan to arrest it, and various measures had been proposed to restore confidence and allay the excitement. In relation to the markets, every thing was in such an unsettled state when the Cambria left, that it is impossible to predict with any degree of correctness the complexion of the next ac- counts. Prices fur corn and cotton depend so much upon the state of the money market, &c., that the chances are decidedly against any im- provement. Cotton must continue very much depressed, so long ag the manufacturing classes continue so much embarrassed in their financial affairs; and corn caanot advance much in the face of a very tight money market. An Extra Herald will be issued immediately after the news comes to hand, containing full particulars, and it would be well for speculators to keep a sharp look out for the announcement. Tue Heroxs or tHe Mexican War.—We are glad to perceive that the Mayor of this city has agreed with us in the propriety of our citizens celebrating, in an appropriate way, the services of New York’s gallant sons, in the recent battles in Mexico. We are rejoiced at this, for the con- duct of the New Yorkers in those stirring scenes, reflects credit on their native State. Our motto, “Excelsior,” will never deteriorate in their hands. They have proved themselves equal to any emergency, and when weighed in the ba- lance, were not found wanting. Honor to the brave. Maixs vor Evrore.—The mails of the steam- ship Cambria will close in this city at half-past 3 o’clock to-morrow afternoon. The steamer, however, does not leave Boston till Monday next. Our merchants and others writing to Eng- land, should think of this. The Herald for Eu- rope will be ready at one o’clock to-morrow af- ternoon. Heatrn or New Orveans.—The Board of Health of New Orleans announced, on the 18th instant, that the yellow fever had ceased to be an epidemic. Sporadic cases appear, as usual, after the disappearance of the fever as an epi- demic. ‘Theatrical and Musical. Pank Tura’ “La Sonuembula’ was performed again at the Park last evening, before a good audience, ‘and was received, as well as the other performances of the evening, with the greatest applause. To-night Mr. Forrest is to appear as Sparticus,in the historical tragedy of the “Gladiator.” The piece is well cast throughout, and will, doubtless, attract a large number of spectators. The opera company have had in rehearsal for some time Donizetti's grand opera of “Lucresia Borgia,” which will be prodaced to-morrow evening in splendid style. — ‘We are happy to be able toannounce this opera, for we believe that Madame Bishop, though excelleat in every- thing she undertakes, will especially succeed in this.— The music is worthy of such a performer, and her per- focttom of wiz te oud saovusivis I WOFGBY UE BUC & COM- position as is this work of Donizetti’s.

Bowery Turatae.—A bill of performances is produc- ed for this evening at the Bowery theatre, which has filled this house to the lastseat,on many occasions be- fore this. It consists of the grand drama of “Captain ! Sporting Intelligence, Union Counse, L. L—Gueat Trorrina Marcu. —The trotting mateb, for $500, two mile heats, in harness, between the renowned grey mare Lady Suffolk, and that nonpareil, the brown mare Lady Sutton, came off yester- day afternoon. and was won by the former in two heats, which were the closest, best contested, most animated, and exciting that have taken place for a long period. Many were the speculations in relation to this affair and the excitement since the announcement of the match increased daily as the period of triai approached. It is only about six months since Lady Sutton made her debut on the track. Her career thus far has been one of unexampled success, for one of her years—she having defeated Moseow, Ajax, Grey Eagle, and several others; and her performance yesterday, although beaten, stamps her as one of the most promising nage in the world — There were not less than one thousand gentlemen on the track to witnsss the affair, all of whom gave evidence of their gratification in their own peculiar way. The delightful state of the atmosphere, yesterday, had its influence in drawing together the many spectators who were congregated on and around the race course In the early part of the afternoon, the air was cool and bracing. and yet bland and pleasant, and a more agr that on Long Island could hardly 3 ‘of gay and joyous parties of ladies <n non horseback, prancing ‘along the various ‘and avenues, luxuriating on the fresh air, fradd pops 4 their constitutions, and while infusing @ tinge of healthful ruddiness to their com} doubtless adding many happy years to their lives. ‘The track was in splendid order for the contest, and Lady Sutton’s friends were confident, from her fine ap- 6e and good condition, that very fust time would required to beat her, Lady Suffolk did not appear to such advantage as her supporters wished; but she was Lady Suffolk, and her name is alwa: tower of ” Notwithstanding she exhibited an unusual stiffness in her movements previous to the start, her friends offered 100 to 50 on her; and although there were large amonuts dof in that way, mi offers wanted takers. Preliminary preparations i been made, Mr. Bryant, with Lady Suffolk, and Mr. helpley, with Lady Sutton, came to the stand for their relative positions for the First Heat—Lady Suffolk drew the track. At the first attempt, they came to the score on a parallel, and the word was given. They dashed off at the top of their speed, each apparently trying for the lead, and they ‘went round the upper turn and reached the quarter pole in 38 seconds, without either having succeeded in get- ting = yard in advance of the other. They continued thus down the back stretch tothe half mi pa- rently yoked together, in 1:16, at an inor ree of speed; ‘but Suffolk broke up soon after leaving that point, acd fell off about two lengths. Sut! notwithstanding the accident of her adversary, wae kept olonely her driver well knowing she had not a single spare; but ether Suffolk, after recovering, in- o her speed, or that the brown mare fell off a trifle, is too nice @ point to decide; at all Suffolk had shut up the gep ere Sutton had reached the three quarter pole, and they came to the stand as if locked together, in 2:34, Going round the upper turn, Bryant again urged Suffolk, applying his persuasive potions in large doses, with the intention of taking the lead, believing that was the most favora- ble place, under the circumstances; but it could not be done: Whelpley was bent on the same purpose, and he determined, if he could not lead, to lay at the side of Suffolk, and take the chances. They passed the first quarter of this mile with their heads together, their speed still unabated. Down the back stretch, the beau- ty of the race called forth acclamations from the entire crowd of spectators. They kept step so evenly and steadily, that it appeared as if the two sulkies were one vehicle, andthe mags bound as firmly together as the Siamese twins. They continued in this way until they came on the home stretch, when the grand struggle commenced. Bryant flourished his whip with the dex- tority of a master of the broadaword, ging, however, more cuts than thrusts—while his faithful charge, as she threw her flowing silver tail in the air, seemed to be par- rying the galling lash. Whelpley was urging the brown mere in a similar manner, but not 60 energetically; and the topmost ‘speed of the two creatures was ia this way fully developed. They crossed the score in the same manner as they left the three quarter polo, and to nearly on s line that the crowd were in doubt which was the winner, and waited patiently for the judges’ de- cision, which was, that Lady Suffolk had wom the heat by about eighteen inches! ‘Time of the last mile, 2:20, and of the heat, 5:10, Second Heat.—Grent care and attention having been taken by the respective trainers and grooms during the interval allowed between heats, both the mares came on the track, at the call, as gay and vigorous as they were previous to the first heat. Two or thren ineffectual at- tempts were made before the word to start was given To record the first mile and a quarter of this heat, would be nearly a repetition of the one preceding. They parsud the first quarter in 40 seconds, side by side; the haif in 1:16, in same position; avd crossed the score without the deviation of an inch, {n 2:35. Going round the turn on the next mile, Suffolk drew out ahead of Sutton a Uttle; but as they approached the quarter pole, they were yoked again. About fitty yards from that place. Suffoik broke up, and went off at a frll run, determined tokeep.up with Sutton, and ran about one hundred ards before she recovered her trot. Whether Mr. ryant could have checked her sooner, is « point for sportamen to discuss at their Inisure: the run appeared, however, to be of decided advantage to Suffolk, for, a8 soon as ‘she regained her trot, aithough some three lengths or more in the rear, she rapidly shut up the gap, and came on the home stretch.close up; at she three-quar- ter pole she was side and side with Lady Sutton. ‘Then commenced « similar struggle to the one a: the close of the last heat, which occasioned the most intense feeling ami interested friends of each, and the admira- tion ofall lovers of close contests, Suffolk won by less than half » length.i3Time of the last mile, 2:37; and of the heat 5:12. = ceay serton, gm.

The following is the re- fit accompaniment of that vast engine, the elec- tric telegraph. In announcing these arrangements, part of which will be in operation in three months, we can’t help stating the contrast which is furnished between the newspaper press of New York, and that of London or Paris. The Paris journals may be conducted with fine taste and great phi- Josophical talent; but in practical enterprise they are far inferior to those of the United States. It isa singular fact, that there is only one engine used by the whole Paris newspaper press—that by the Presse, capable of throwing off from three to four thousand sheets per hour. The newspaper press of that city has made an effort at improvement, but it is,literary only—it lags be- hind the practical genius of the age. London, even, is in advance, and although a number of at- tempts have been made in that great commercial metropolis to introduce engines of speed and pow- er, we believe that no success yet has attended them, and that Mr. Hoe, who is now in England, will find himself the only successful mechanical genius, in relation to this branch of invention. Nearly thirteen years ago we commenced the movement—the establishment of the Herald— which has already resulted in vast change and revolution in the newspaper press of this coun- try. Two years later, the Parisian {press com- menced a similar movement ; and about eighteen months ago, jourmalism in London fell into the wake of both. With Mr. Hoe’s new invention, and,the electric telegraph, we are beginning an- other and a greater revolution in the newspaper press, which will be felt in every avenue of so- cial life, in less than ten years. In two or three months we expect to commence this change in our printing department. We have also in contemplation to issue impressions which are called in Paris ‘ feuilletons,” or supplements, or extras, devoted to literary and philosophical topics. portion of the floating genius of this metropolis and of this country. Enough for the present, until we commence operations in this new revolution. But we can- not close without stating our belief that the names of Morse and of Hoe will, in after times, be associated with that of Fulton and of Ark- wright, in the great and wonderful application of new inventions to the practical progress of the present age = This will enable us to call into action a The Weekly Herald, The Weekly Herald willbe ready to-morrow morning at 8 o’clock. It will contain, as usual, the latest intelligence from all parts of the world. It will bé a daguerreotype history of the week past, and will be embellished with the two en- graved plans of the battle fields before the vity of Mexico. Single copies 6j cents, “Katharine and Petruchio,” and the very amusing farce of the “Spectre Bridegroom.” We have frequently seen this same bill performed at this theatre, and on every night of its performance have witnessed as large an au- dience as the house could contain. It must not be for- gotton that Mr. C. Burke will take a benefit here to- morrow evening. We shall speak of the performances in to-mrorrow’s paper. Cuatnam Turatre.—The drama of the “Flying Dutchman,” the amusing force of the “Artful Dodger,” and the farce of ‘Perfection, or the Maid of Munster,” are marked for this evening at the Chatham theatre. These pieces we need hardly say, have always been favor- ites with the public, and when it is known that Mr. De Bar and Miss Vallee will appear in them, we are confi- dent the house will be as well filled as it has been an: day this week. In addition to the bill proper, Miss Val- lee, Miss Deloraine, and Mr. Yates |, between the pisces, perform some much admired dances. Miss Val- jee’s benefit will take place to-morrow evening, on which occasion the ballet of ‘‘Giselle’’ will be performed.

Judge Cuamuens said be presumed that they had ail listened to this message with reg! It was unexpected ‘There was one expedient which he thought they might adopt. however, which would enable the two houses to part in unit a state of things which was extremely de- firable. Antloipating the result of the action on the part of the House of Bishops, he hed prepared the following resolution, which, he hoped, would be adopted :— wed, That the following message be sent to the House of Bishops : To tur Rr. Rey. tHe Brsnors— Rr. Rev Farnens :—This house has read with deep regret your mesvage disagreeing to the vote of the oom- mittee of conference. ‘This house most respectfully and earnestly requests your body to reconsider their deol- veyed to bis reste | sion on this subject, balleving, as this house does, that the passage of the canon which was the subject of the conference, is most important to perfect the adjustment reported by the joint committee, and which adjustment this house regard as based upon such principles as both houses, and, indeed, all persons engeged in the late dif- ficulties, could assent to without in any measure con- flicting with opinions expressed by them. Mr. Cousren moved that the word “perpetual” be nm out, and that the words “without limitof time”’ tigated in its place. =Mr. Wit.1ams concurred in the view that the word Peter had better be stricken out. It was objec- ionable for several reasons, wi he named. Rev, Mr Gattaouen thought it would be extremely disrespectful to send such » message to the House of Bishops. He thought it would not effect a reconciliation. It seemed something like “brow-beating” the House of Bishops. To adopt the pro) amendment would neu- tralize the whole canen. He moved to lay the resolution on the table, and called for the question by dioceses. It would be a test vote. Rev. Dr. Ocirny thought it would be # very unfair proceeding to put « test vote upon such a ground. He conceived that his reverend brother had mistaken the real scope and object of the resolution. The object was to persuade the House of Bishops to re-consider what they had done, and relieve both houses from Lee pet He was on the joint committee of conference, and could speak from personal knowledge. Judge Cuamnens said thejoint committee on the New York resolutions, had acted on the principle of compro- mise; and reported three Peopeaticns in the form of canons. The two houses agreed to the lst and 3d propositions, and the object now was to effeet an agree- ment in regard to the third. A message from the House of Bishops was here re- ceived, informing the House of Delegates that they had concurred in passing the canon of the discretion to be allowed in reference to deacons and presbyters in cer- tain cases. The hour of 12, which had been fixed upon for final adjournment, being at hand, Rev, Mr. Gauuacner moved that a message be sent to the House of Bishops, informing them that this house would not be able to complete their business by 12 o'clock, and requesting them to withdraw their message of concurrence in the resolution to adjourn at that hour; which was agreed to. *The consideration of the message from the House of Bishops being resumed, the motion to lay the resolution on the table was withdrawn, and the question on its adoption taken by dioceses, with the following result:— ‘The clergy—ayes 17, noes 7, divided 4. The laity —ayes 12, noes 6, divided 2. So the résolution was passed. Mr. Connins then resumed his remarks, in regard to the Constantinople mission. The religious newspapers cf the country had for three years been teeming with abuse of the Bishop of Constantinople. Had those stute- ments been true, the character of that bishop would have been so lowered that gentlemen would not consi- der him a fit associate even. Heargued that they were not true. Mr, Wittiams understood the gentleman to conclude that the object of this proposition from the House of Bishops, was to overthrow the Constantinople mission. ‘The fact was, that there was not, between the Foreigo Mission Committee and the Bishop of Constantinople, that sympathy which was desirable. ‘A message from the House of Bishops was here read, announcing they had concurred ia the disposition proposed by the House ef Delegates, with regard to th report on the General Theological Seminary—alao, thi they had acceded to the request to withdraw their con- currence in the resolution to adjourn sine die at 12 o'clock to-day. Mr. Coutins continued his remarks. Congregational testimony which had been adduced in evidence inst the Bishop of Constantino, le should be recaivad with pase MiB il OO Mr. Coxsron was sorry to hear the gentleman speak 80 disparagiogly and uucharitably of Congregationalists.— He hoped they would, in the spirit of Christian charity, remember that all were liable to prejudice, Churchmen as well as Congregationalists. He thought that ungod- liness was worse than Congregalionalism. They had bet- terturn their attention to those things in which they were lamentably deficient in their owa church, rather than abuse those who happened to be out of its pale. After some further remarks, a message was announced from the House of Bishops, stating that they had recon- sidered their decision in relation to the canon “of the penalty of suspension,” and had receded from its non- concurrence, and that it now concurred in passing the canon as amended by the House of Deputies. This announcement was received with many mani- festations of joy by the members of the House of Depu- ties, as happily terminating the disagreement between the two houses. Another me e was soon after received, stating that the House of Bishops had passed a canon to be entitled “of Episcopal resignations.”” The canon provides that §1,2, 3, and 4, shall be the same as in canon 4 of 1844, and that 95 shall provide that whgn a suspended min- ister desires to resign, he may send @ letter to the pre- siding bishop, who shall lay it before the rest; # majori- ty of whom agreeing, the resignation shall be considered as being accepted. It was moved that the house do not concur in the re- solution from the Heuse of Bishops, in regard to the Constantinople mission. ‘The diocese of North Carolina called for the vote by dioceses. ‘After a large number of gentlemen had explained the votes which they should give, amid repeated cries for the question, the names of the members were called over, and the question carried by the following vote: — Clorgy—Whole number of diocese voting, 27. Ayes 14, noes 11, divided 2. Laity—Whole number 18, Ayes 11, noes 5, divided 2 Dr. Ociuay presented the report of the joint commit- tee to whom the communication of the historiographer of the church was referred, with a resolution recom- mending that fhat the several dioceses aid as far as may be, in carrying om the work of the historiographer. The resolution was adopted. ‘The canon from the House of Bishops, of epigcopal re- signations, was then taken up. - udge Joxes thought the canon would be wholly in operative if it was intended to be applied to any inno- cent bishop who should resign ; no bishop could resi; ‘under it without admitting himself to be guilty. hoped it would be modified if it must be passed. Rey Dr Ocruny desired to ay, with all respect to the Huse of Bishops, that he thought the canon no more or less than an absurdity. (Laughter ] He moved to lay the message on the table. The vote being called for by diocese, it was then taken with the following result :— ‘The Clergy—Whole number of dioceses voting, 26— ayes 11; noes 12; divided The Laity—Whole number, 18—ayes 8; noes 9; di- vided 1. ‘So the motion to lay on the table was lost. On motion, the consideration of the canon was re- ferred to the next general convention. On motion, Rey. Dr. Hayxert and D. B. Oopen, Exq, were then appointed a committee to wait on the House of Bishops, and inform them that they had con- cluded their business, and were ready to receive any communication from that body. ‘Alter a brief pause, @ message from the House of Bish- ops was received, announcing that they had unfinished business before them, and that it was impracticable to adjourn at that tim They therefore proposed to take arecws until halt past 7, P. M., at which time the pre- siding bivhop would be prepared to read the pastoral letter The House of Delegates concurring in the proposal, then took @ recess, Evenine 8: The convention re-assem! ‘The Presper having called the house to order, the minutes of the morning session were read and approved Rey. Dr BuRKovGHs, of Matne, then rose and offered the customary resolutions of thanks to the President, Secretary, assistant Secretary, and Treasurer, which were unanimously adopted. The Parsipent brie ended to the resolution re- garding himself. Uni strong sense of his imperfect qualifications for the office with which he had been so often honored, the Chair could but express gratefully ‘and affectionately his acknowledgments for the obliging regard just menifested. The Secretary inquired whether any instructions wore to be given him with regard to procuring a suit building for the meeting cf the next General Con’ tion Hon, Mr, Newton thought the present convention could not bind @ future one as regarded the place of meeting, whether it should be a secular or @ #801 build- ing, &o. "Bee Mean thought it would be better to leave the sub- ject in the hands of the officers of the house. He as- ‘sured them that he should not obtain # seoular build- ing. io objections Lap fey this was considered to be e the understanding o! uae. ‘Au invitation was here read to the following effect « ‘The subseriber would respectfully invitethe members of the convention to examine the clock in Trinity church chapel, to morrow; at half past 9 o’clock Ne 7 o’elock. (Signed) = MR.

'A message was subsequently received announcing that they had ‘a resolution returning the thanks of the general convention to the corporation of Trinity Church for the use of St, John’s Capel, and for the liberal sup- ly of whatever was needed for the accommodation of Both houses during the present session. The resolution was concurred ii : Rev. Dr. Wainwaiont, Secretary of the House of B . then ap} ‘and said he was directed to in- form them that the House of Bishops was ready to meet ‘concluding devotions of the House of Deput nd present to it the Lege let- = and joinin e conven- n. ‘The House then having suspended its seaston, the House of Bishops entered, and took seats aroun: the ebancel. After kneeling for a few moments in silent worship. Bishop Cuace, of Illinois, president of the House of Bishops, rose and said :-The pastoral letter will now be read by the Bishop of Virginia. He is selected as the most proper person to read the letter at this time We hope this audience will attend to it with due so- lemnity, and with gratitude to God that our bishops are able to give so affectionate an address. We hope for your lous and devout attention. Bishop Mrape, jof Virginia, then read the pastoral letter. The two Houses then united in, singing the ninety- ninth selection of the pealms; the appropriate prayer and collects from the Liturgy were read, and the bene- diction pronounced by the presiding bishop. ‘The House of Bishops heving retired — On motion, Ordered, that 2000 copies of the Pastoral Letter be printed. . The House adjourned sine die. ‘As the result of the whole matter in regard to the re solutions of the Diocese of New York, soliciting relief from thelr “anomalous position,” both houses of the convention have finally agreed upon the adoption of the following canons, which are, it will be seen, in substance those at first reported by the joint committee:— Canon I. Of the Remission or Modification of Judicial Senten- ces by the House of Bishops. ‘The bishops of this church who are entitled to seats in the house of blshopemey elloge mit and terminate any judiotal sentence which may have been imposed, or may hereafter be imposed by bishops, acting collectively as a judicial tribunal, or modify the same 0 far as to de- signate a precise period of time or other specific contin gency, on the occurrence of which such sentence shall utterly cease and be of no further force or effect. Pro- vided that no such remission or modification shall be made except at a meeting of the house of bishops during the session of some general convention, or at a speci meeting of the said bishops, who shall’ be convened by the presiding bishop, on the application of any five bieh- ops, three months notice in writing of the time, place aid object of the meeting being given personally tocach bishop, or left at his usual place of abode: provided, also, that such remission or modification be assented to by 8 number ef said bishops, not less than a majority of the whole number entitled st the time to seats in the house of bishops: and provided, further, that nothing & in this canon shall be understood to repeal or alter the provisions of canon XXXIX, of 1832.

Ril. ‘Any bishop, assistant bishop, or missionary bi- shop, may, on the invitation of the convention or stand- ing committee of any diocese, where there is no bishop, or where the bishop is, for the time, uuder a disability to pertorm Episcopal offices by reason of a judicial sen- tence, visit and perform Episcopal offices in that diocese, or in any part thereof: and this invitation may be tem- porary, and it may at any time be revoked. 2. (A diocero without bishop, or of which the bishop is for the time ander a disability by reason of a judiol sentence, may, by its convention, be placed under the full Episcopal charge and authority of the bishop of an- other diocese, or of «missionary bishop, who shall by that act be authorized to perform all the duties and of- floes of the bishop of the diocese go vacant, or having the bishop disabled, until, in the case of @ vacunt diocese, a bishop is duly elected and consecrated for the same, and in the case of a diocese whose bishop is disqualified as aforesaid, until the disqualification be removed; or un- til, in either case, the said act of the convention be re- vokad. ‘93. No diocese thus placed under the full charge and authority of the bishop of another diocese, or of # mis- sionary bishop, shull avite » second bishop to perform any Episcopal duty, or exercise authority, till its con- nection with the first bishop has expired, or is revoked. ‘94.

If the testimony of this witness is to be cre- dited, the defandant would be entitled to verdict. The jury returned with a verdict for defendant. Elizabeth Hasbrouck vs Wm, Howland and Nathan Caswell.—This was an action to recover the price of thirty shares of the capital stock of the Seneca County Bank, valued at $1500. From the statement of plain- tiffs counsel, it appeared that the plaintiff lent to her son-in-law, who carries on business in this city under the style and firm of Wm. Moore & Co, the stock in question, to enable him to borrow money; but that it was only to be lent asa collateral security, and never to be placed beyond his own control, or in any way that the plaintiff's interest in it might be jeopardized In June, 1846, Moore & Co. received two notes of $637 50 each, from the defendants, payable in four months, for which Moore & Co. gave thelrown notes of the same date and for like sum, payable at four months, and gave the stock as collateral seourity. When Moore & Co.'s notes came to maturity they were punctually taken up, and sometime after the stock was demanded, but de- fendants refused, alleging that Moore & Co.were indebted to defendants in a sum of ten thousand or twelve hun- dred dollars on another account, and refused to give up. The defence was not gone into when the court adjourn- ed. For plaintiff, Messrs. Sherwood and Renton; for defendants, Meserr. O’Conor, Sandford and Chase. In Cuamnens—Oct. 28—Before Judge Edmonds.—In the matter of Nicolas Lucien Metzger.—It will be re- membered that Metager was about a year ago claimed by the French Government under the treaty of 1843, as afugitive from justice, A warrant was subsequentl: issued by one of the police magistrates, under whic! Metzger was arrested; # writ of habeas corpus was after- wards granted by the United States District Judge, at Chambers, and the question was disoursed at consider- able length before him After maturely considering the case, Judge Betts gave a long opinion, in which he de- cided’the arrest was lawful, and ordered Metager to be delivered oer to the French authorities. ‘The prison- er’s counsel then applied to Judge Edmonds for another writ of habeas corpus, which was granted, and the whole juestion was again discussed at Sig length before him. in the early part of the week the Judge announced his intention of delivering his opinion on the case this morning, and direoted Metzger and his counsel to be in attendance. The prisoner was accordingly brought into court by the keeper of pane street “ft his counsel, Messrs. Hoffman and N. B. Blunt, were in attendance. Mr. B. F. Butler, the United States District Attorney, in attendance on behalf of the United States Government. ‘The Judge began by saying that the prisoner was a notary public in one of the de- which he left and came y. had left his residence, it was charged against him that he was a defeulter to his oli- ents to alarge amount of money, which he had embez- zied,and which embezzlement ‘he had attempted to conceal by means of forgery. Complaint to that eff was made against him before a French committin gistrate, who issued » warrant for his arrest not, however, apprehended on the bento 2, duly authenticated, were transmitted to this coun , and the French minister to this country demand bis surronder, under the treaty with France of 1841 That functionary was referred, by the Secretary of State, to the courts or magistrates of the country, and accordingly he made application to one of the police magistrates of New York, for a warrant, on which Metz- ger was arrested. An examination was had before the inagistrate, who adjudged that the prisoner was within the treaty, issued his warrant~- committing him to prison until the fresident of the Uni ed States demanded him. His honor went on to say that the prisoner was taken before the circuit judge of the first circuit, on habeas corpus,and that officer decided that the police magistrate had no jurisdictiqn in the matter, and he was entitled to his discharge. He was next brought before the U. 8. District Judge, before whom similar proceedings were had, which resulted in « similar adjudication to that made by the police magistrate, and alike warrant of commitment was made out. Hishonor then went on to review the proceedings before Judge Betts, and up to the time the case had been brought before himself He umerated the grounds upon which his discharge for. They are aa follow:— ‘That the crime alleged was comn.itted interme- signing of the treaty and its ratification, and was, therefore, not within its operation. 2d That the prisoner had been only charged with the offence, and not indicted ; that he was incudpe, and not accusie, and, therefore, not within the treaty. ‘3d. That the President of the United States had no authority to act in the matter, until Congress had pro- vided, by law, for the exeoution of the treaty. 4th? That the federal judiciary had no power to arrest, examine, or it, but under a statute ; and as no ste- euve peu ueeR 6. here WOTt DO eens prov by government for executing the treaty. 6th. hat the act charged is not # crime under our lawa, and, therefore, not within the treaty. 6th, That the President’s mandate is not conclusive, but its foundation may be onquired into and be im- peached. His honor next proceeded to review the arguments of counsel on both sides, and the various authorities cited to sustain their respective views ; and Snished by stating that the conclusion he had arrived at was, that the pri- goner is not a party scoused. within the meaning of the treaty; and that the President cannot execute the power of extradition without both legislative and judi- cial sanction ; and | acknowledge, said he, that the con- ciusion commends itself to my favor, beoause of the pro- teotion it is calculated to afford to personal liberty against executive authority. The prisoner must, there- fore. be disc! The Unite States District Artoansy moved that judgment might be suspended until 11 o’clock to-mor- row, to give him an opportunity of considering the opi- nion, and to decide what action he should take in rela- tion to further proceedings against Metzger. The motion was streneously opposed by Mr. Horrmax, who insisted that the moment his Honor had pronounced his judgment, the prisoner was entitled to his liberty, and if detained one moment, his Honor would be liable to an action for false imprisonment. Mr. Buren, on the other side, insisted that the judg- ment was not perfect until his Honor’s order was drawn up, signed and delivered to the sheriff, and all he asked was to suspend the drawing up and siguing of the order, until he had time to consider the opinion the in- structions he received from Weshington, to enable bim she to = on the future course he take in this mat . Messrs. Horry and Buunt still insisted on the im- mediate discharge of the prisoner. The Court yielded.and ordered the prisoner to be dis- charged.

Multum in Parvo. Woe are daily expecting the Chinese junk from your city. Many oven anticipated her arrival on Sunday, and remained ® long time anxiously watching for her aj pearance, at the end ofour wharves, She will be a gre source of attraction, not only to Bostenians, but to the inhabitants of our surrounding villages. The Chinese museum was always well patronized here, and it was a mystery to many why the proprietors of that concera should withdraw it, when in the full tide of prosperity. Lectures are not 80 much in vogue here at present as formerly. People everywhere prefer amusement to in- struction; consequently our lecture rooms are empty while our theatres are crowded. Much complaint exists in our literary circles with re- gard tothe manner in which the tickets for admittance to the Lowell Institute lectures, has been decided.
