The opponents of the Bishop, on the other nand, have always insisted that idefimite suspeasion 1s, to all intents and purposes, equivalent to degradatien or dismissal, and, therefore, Bishop Onderdonk is nota bishop, and not entitled to his support from his late diocese. This has been the josition in which matters have stood ever since the trial; but the Bishop’s friends have trimuphed, so far as the obtaining of money tor his support is concerned. The two parties ave irreconcilably opposed to each other; and so earnest have they shown themselves to obtain a final and conclusive deeision on the matter, that the highest clerical authorities of the Church of England have been consulted for the purpose, but, we believe, without effect. This question may take precedence of the other—that of admitting colored congregations, or, at least, their delegates, into convention—wh' *h, although, strictly speaking, 18 not an abolition quesuon, yet it springs out of abolition, and involves in its dis- cussion, the question of slavery. Between abolition, therefore, and the Onader- donk matter, the approaching diocesan canvention promises to be very exciting. We attach more importance to the abolition question, for its ulti- mate consequences will aflect the stability and union of the Episcopal church. The Southera churches would never tolerate the proposed amal- gamation; and if it be successfully carried in this diocese, an attempt will be made, no doubt, to introduce it into the general convention.

The Steamships. At the hour of our going to press this morning, we had not received any tidings of the steamsyiip ; Acadia, now in her fifteenth day, and fully due at Boston, nor cf the United States, which vessel, if she sailed on her appointed day, ought to have ar- yived some days since. In regard to the United States, we learn from an intelligent sea captain, who was in our office yes- terday, that she may have been detained by neap tides, which reduce the water in the harbor ot Havre so Jow as to render it impossible for vessels of large size to get to sea. The gentleman we al- lude to, says he has himself been detained in Havre fully a week beyond the appointed time of sailing on this account. We hope that this is the eause of the detention of this noble veesel, and trust that no mishap has befallen her. The Acadia will, no doubt, arrive to-day. We shall publish her news in a few minutes after her arrival. ree Abolitionism in the Church—The Onderdonk Affair. The abolition of slavery in the United States has, from the commencement of our goverament to the present time, been a guestzo vexata, running through and pervading every thing American, the subtle atmosphere pervades all nature. Tt will from time to time spring up and show its ungainly proportions in the councils of the nation, in our State legislatures, in our halls of justice, in the parlor and the coflee house—every where, and at times too when men least expect it. Where peace and harmony prevailed from time immemorial the hideous spirit of abolition will, in a moment, as it were, spring up, and set men against each other in deadly hostility, convert love and friend- ship into hatred, and let loose a spirit of discord that carnes all the evil passions of our nature in ats train. Such is the spirit of abolition; but we do not mean to say that the benevolent promptings of our nature, which desire to se* the whole Tio¢ of mankind, white as well as black, free and un- trammelled ‘y every country and in every clime, eas be identified with it. The one springs from a source totally different and distinct from that from which the other has its origin. The abolition spirit, in the sense in which it is known in the United Stateg, 1s the offspring of fanaticism, bigotry, and intolerance. The other comes from the benevo- lent impulses of the heart, and is not confined to the North, but participated in by the people of all sections of ihe country. Of late years, the spirit of abolition has reached the churches of our land. It has crept into the Methodists and divided them into two sections— the Methodist Church South, and the Methodist Church North. It has acted in a similar way with the Baptists ; and at the last diocesan convention of the Protestant Episcopal Church in the State of New York, it crept in there, and 80 terrified were the delegates, lay, and clencal, at its appearance in their councils, that they willingly postponed action on it until the next session, which wil commence in this city next Wednesday. It made its appearance in the form of a petition from the colored congregation of St. Phi- lip’s Church im this city, praying that they should be admitted into the convention, and that their delegates might be permitted to take seats with the white members. An angry discus. sion ensued; and a presentiment that the con- vention were standing on the edge of a volcano, that mighi {2 @ moment break out, and scatter the members far and wice, dictated a postponement of That time has now decision until a future time. iter ‘ome; and we perceive that this will pe one of the of the old world, we should be so dilatory in car- rying into effect many of the improvements which modern intelligence has introduced there. ‘That we are so, isa fact which no one will attempt to deny. Itis to ke seen in the disgraceful condition of our streets and sewers, and, not the least im- portant, in our slow and unsafe postage system. With regard to these reforms, it seems very strange that attempts have not been long since made, we will not say to sirpass, but to equal, what has been done in Europeau countries. We do not yield to them in intelligence ; we do not yield to them in a desire to protect the lives and property jof our citizens ; we are not, whatever may be thought to the contrary, strongly attached to fetid atmospheres, or dirty str>ets ; and our natural character of go-a-head-a-tiveness sho ‘ld almost make us ashamed to enter into any de- fence against the imputation which may be made, that we have no desire to secure cnea;, safe, and rapid epistolary communication. These are re- forms in which there 1s no room for any political contention. The places which must necessarily be created for the purpose of carrying them out, (and we believe that a great additvon to the num- ber of hands at present employed, would not be required,) might cause a scramble among the office seekers. Butaf the good be accomplished, this is a minor consideration. With regard to our postal system, it is really dis- graceful that our merchants do not come forward and throw the weight of their influence i.to the appeals which are coming from all quarter tor postal reform. We do not now speak of our in- ternational, but of our interna! postase system, as established in the city of New York and else_ where. In London, they have ten certain delive- ries of letters in the day, at a penny postage rate. Why should not we have as many in New York, at the same rate? The only objection that can be made to this is the increased expense. We should think, however, that any one who glancez pt the following extract from a recent Parliamentary re- port, exhibiting the vast increase of correspondence n Cireat Britain since the reduction of the postage, must be convinced that such an objection has no weight, and that the great increase 1n the corres- pondence of this community would greatly exceed, altera year or two, the increased outlay which he change might occasion :— ‘The sucecss of the postal reform—in its +* the boldest experiment In our time—ir wey by far that nature as to be capable of ¢’ - sortunately -f A comparison of statistie-’ © <ar demonstration. subject ; and the _=» mats is conclusive oa the which bat” .-voint and commercial advantages +e 0€€N Gorived by the country can be casily understood to be in proportion to the arithmetical in- crease of communication. There is indeed much reom for the most pleasing speculations as to the numerous and indirect consequences of facts brought to light b; the array of figures betore us, in their influence & ti upon the private hsppiness and public pree~-sity of the country. ‘The first table in the return shows the number of chargeable letters which pasred through the London General Peet Office since the first general reduction of postage on the Sth day of December, 1839, divi- ding the time into periods of four weeks, a distin- wirhing between unpaid, paid, and stamped levers. ‘or the sake of brevity, we will give the numbers as returned for the first four weeks of each year, which are as folio Larrexs Passixc Tanovon rir Loxnox Garrat Stamped, 2,047,120 2.607.265 S28 So that the number in the present year more than quadrupled, as compared with 1840, wf’ x however, it must be remarked, the postage was "-> sad >o« to fourpence, and nearly doubled as eomparea with 1841, when penny, rate had been in operation for many months, The table before us also furnir es the estimated average for four weeks in 1839—priot ny reduction, and under the old system—~which, with the prerent year, presents the following compariara :— Lerrexs Passing Txxoven tux Loxoor Gexmnat Post Jn Four Weeks.

The port, being open to commercial opera- tions, was filled with vessels of all nations, the Teatest proportion bearing the flags of Prussia, Denmark, and the Umted States. A lst of the first subjects that will be acted upon. The com” mittee to whom the matter was referred, have made j two reports—a minority report, ana a miyorty re- port. The one insists on the right of the colored H delegates to sit in convention, on a pertect equality | with the whites, and the otherdenies the expediency of tolersting, for obvious reasons, the exercise of such night. The committee are, therefore, at issue On the subject; and the discussion which will follow the presentation of the two iii, in all probebilit $ 1 sopurts, ‘ we ehatacterized by the wusvernens end malignity which have marked abo- liven movements in other parte of the country. ‘That the exereise of this right will be contested to the death, we think is almost certain ; for we hardly think that the wealthy, refined, and well perfumed Epiecopalians of this city—the sons and daughters of our merchants, judges, and lawyers —can overcome the instincts of our natore to such an extent as to sit cheek by jow! with the woolly descendants of Africa, No matter what turn this affair may take in the coming diocesan conven- tion, it will, no doubt, be a firebrand in the general convention, which meets once in three years: Let it once enter that body, and we shall see an Episcopal Church South, es well as a Methodis, Church South, and an Episcopal Church North, as well as a Methodist Church North Another subject of importance, and one that will again Jead to an angry discussion, as it has done on former occasions, will come up before the diocesan convention, as soon as possible. We allude to the appropriation of a sum of money for ¢ enpport and maintainance of Bishop Jnderdonk, who, ae our readers are aware, was suspended from the exercise of his functions by the Court of Hishops, some years since. ‘The tral and sentence ym this eelebrated case created a termble comio- tion in the church militant ; and, doubtless, it is annecoesary to refer to it now, further than to say, abat the Bishop having been rnepended, but not Vuited States vessels in port and loading will be + «A under the appropriate head. foun * 0+ wwoket, at0 Accounts from Montevideo, by the . notiater than we had previously received.

Mr. Dawson, os Jeremtah Bumps, was excellent, and perfectly surprieed General Jack. tu ing the tables upon him, The pie rr went off with the greatest possible éclat The beau! ful ballet followed, in which Madame Monplaisir lighted the entire audience with her graceful and a, rior da cing. To attempt a description of the ballet would be vain, for it is im , and no one can have a conception of its beauty without witnessing it, It is got up in most magnificent style, and by far ex- ceeds any ballet performed on the American stage. ‘The attractions atthe Park now are ef the first order, and the house is nightly crowded, a sure proof of the superiority of the entertainments. To those who are deterred from going to the Park, in consequenee of the crowds which assemble to see the ballet, “ Esmeralda,” we would say. the family circle is most beautifully fitted up and furnicbed, expressly for the ascommoda- tion of ladies and family parties. and the advantages of seeing and hearipg are not surpassed by any other part of the theatre. It has s separate entrance from the dvess circle, and the price is only fitty cents. Beweny Tuxatxe.—There was a very fair house last evening, to witness the entertainments at this popu- Jar and well managed theatre. The “ Young Seamp” and the “ Naiad Queen” went off well. Im the first mentioned piece, little Miss Denin was much applaud- did dresses, accoutrements, military manceuvres, Ke , of the fair Naiads, with the charming Miss Taylor at their head, wore the theme of universal admiration, This piece bas always been favorite one with the Bowery audiences, and will continue so for any length of time.

At the close of the meeting she too! leave of am admiring public, in the full lustre of un- rivalled talents, leaving the minds of her enraptured audience impressed with a remembrance—not soon to be eradicated—of her sweet and powerlul tones, and charmed with her generosity aud benuvolence, She died at Bristol, in 1792, She was the daughter of Mr. ‘Thomas Linley. the composer, who arranged the music in “The Duenna,” “The Beggar's Opera,” &e. He was also the composer of charming madrigal, “ Let me, careless and unthoughtful lyiny,” and several dramatic pieces, He died, in 1795, and was buried in nd in the second piece, the beautiful scenery and | Wells Cathedral, in the same vault as his two talented daughters, Mrs Sheridan and Mrs. Tickell.

Broapway Tueatne.—Knowles’ celebrated play of “The Hunchback” was performed here last evening, The part of Master Walter,’ by Mr. Fredericks, was rather passe; yet the piece went off well. Lord Clifford, by Mr. E. Shaw, was sustained with much ability, and Miss F, Wallack’s Julia was an excellent personation. Mrs, Abbott, as Helen, also acquitted herself with much cleverness. We are gratified to perceive that Mr. Collins, the pspular Irish comedian, wil appear here to-morrow evening in the comedy of the “ Irish Ambarsador,”’ as Sir Patrick O’Pienipo, and afterwards in the ‘arce of ‘Teddy the Tiler.”” Mr, Collins is acknow- ledged to he the only genuine Irish actor- the legiti- “vate successor of the great Power—at present upon the stage. and his engagement here will be duly apprecia- ted by nis numerous friends and patrons. He will ap- pear every evening during the week. Nationat Turatar.—The drama of the “Golien Farmer” was again performed last evening, and in most excellent style; Chanfrau is most excellent as the Golden Farmer, and displays very good judgment in his performance of tho most interesting, though painfully affecting, parts of this drama. Burke’s Jemmy Twitcher is a funny piece of low comic acting; his revbery of Harry Hammer, the tipsy, toast drink- ing wuctioneer, was a most ludicrous scene, and the audience was higbly amused at it ‘This melo drama has probably been more successful than any piece ever brought out in New York. Years and years ago we remember, when it was first brought out at the little Franklin theatre, what an extraordinary run it had, aud to this day, whenever it is acted, particularly with such an exccilent cast as it had last night, it is sure to @: wa good house. The ‘ Mysteries and Miscrics of "iw York” was played next. This is another most extracramarily successful piece; Mose, Sykesey & Co are public benefactors, as they amure hundreds overy evening, We are glad to see the pieoe ennounced for repetition every evening until further notice. | The “Pretty Girls of Stilberg” concluded a delightfal evening's entertainment.

It is mn necessary, of course, to Fay that it met with a warm reception. ‘The character is one perfectly adapted to | Mr, Burton’s comic vein, and he sustained it adimi- rably, as was testified by the laughter which he pro- yoked.

This ix # most admirable arrange- went, and sbould be taken as an example by every populous city in the Union. The appointment of the chief police efficer of » city by the Mayor or Com- mon Council, invariably results in dissatisfaction to the citizens generally, for the appointments are govern- éd moré by volitics! favor than the ‘itness of the ap- licant. If'the officer is elected by the yates of ama- of acity,the natura! presumption is, that the jorit: peer le generaily are satirfied that he is possessed of onesty, judgment and discretion, and should he not prove adequate to all the duties of 1 office, the Common Council have power to remove mm. The appointment of the police officers is entirely removed from the aldermen, and verted in the Mayor, Chief Marshal and Wardens of the city. Independent of the regular police force, there will aleo be a limited number of night watchmen appointed, who will be under the supervision and direction ef captains of the watch. In the educational department, ample pro- virion is made for the education of all children be- tween the ages of six and sixteen years; the depart- ment will be under the control of a Board of Educa- tion, but that Board will not be allowed to make expenditures without the consent of the city council. The bealth of the city is anotber important considera- tion to which the convention has had due regard. It imposes upon every practising physician in the city, to report each and every case of malignant and in- fectious disease, which may come under his or their notice, and the house in which such disease may be, to the Board of Health. This measure is a most salu- tary one, and one which, if strictly enforced, will always confine the disease to a limited section, without danger to the general bealth of the city. The whole matter will be submitted to the voters of the city, at. the next charter election, before its passage or rejection by the legislature ‘New Hook axp Lapprr Co.—A_new and splen*id Took and Ladder Co., No. 4, has been added to tne Fire Department in thisCity The company is located at the house formerly occupied by Engine Co.

The check was drawn on the Leather Manufacturers’ Bank, and before Mr. Mendell would cash he wished to know who the acoused war, when he (the accused) said his name was Jubn Robinfon, a painter, keeping his shop on the corner of Wall and South streets. Upon Mr. Mendell und‘og that name in the directory, and supposing his story to be true.he gave him the money ft the check as it was after banking hours, upon his ~ndorsing his name on the back which tke accused did by forging the name of John Robinson. The next day Mr. Men- dell discovered the check to be a forgery. and placed the matter into the hands of the above officers, who, after someconsiderable search, caught the accused up in_ Ninth street. The necessary affidavits were taken before Justice am uaa who committed the prisoner to the Tombs for trial. Charge of Attempt to Kill.—Officer Watson, of the 6th Ward, arrested, last evening, a Dutchman by the name of Charles Augustus, on a charge of attempting to take the life of John Caseidy, by stabbing him under the left shoulder blade with a knife, i: ticting a severe wound,of four inches deep, which is expected will cause deat®. The injured man was taken to the City Hos- pitel,and the prisoner was locked up in prison by Justice Timpson, to await the result. ‘The affray took place in Orange street, on the Five Poits. wt New Trick upon Countrymen.—¥.£ many years past, our city has Geen infested with a class of thieving fellows, called pocket-b-ok droppers, watch stuffers, and thimble riggers, whose principal business it was to watch and lounge about the steamboat landings, and swindle the credulous countrymen visiting the city, by dropping a pocket-book at their feet, containin; worthless bank bills; and others would be humbugge by a copper watch, galvanized over, to represent gold; and in this way, the poor, unsuspecting countrymen, were robbed daily. from ten dollars up to one hundre dollars, according to the extent of bis fands, But since the establishment of the present police system, and, through its efficiency, they have gradually dis- appeared ; and, consequently, have been compelled to seek some other mode and device whereby to rob the countrymen, and thus succeed without deteotion. This new system bas just come to light, which is as follows, and practised most successfully on last Wednesday night :—It appears that a very honest and unsuspecting young man, doing business in the State of Illinois, was on his way to this city for the purpoee of buying goods, and while on his passage from Albany,in the steamboat Rip Van Winkle, on Tuesday night, he was accosted on board the boat by @ young man, dresred in @ country style, who asked hun it be was coming to York, and belug answered in the affirmative, he said he was from Whitehall, and ‘was coming to New Yerk to purchase goods for his em- ployer, a8 be was sick and could noterme himself; but, saidhe, I bave not been in the city ior «ight or nit years before, and have, therefore, almost forgotten m: ‘way about tho streets, and would feel glad if you would thew me around; oh, , said the other, I will do that with pleasure, as | was iu th city some time since, and know the streets pretty well. The thief now havi: made this formal introduction, he proposed they should both put up at the eame hotel together, which was readily consented to by the honest countryman, wish- ing to render all his services, as he thought, to his green sequaintance ; #0 upon the arrival of the boat, on Wednesday morning, they left in company, and took lodgings at Lovejoy’s Hotel,in Park Row, The thief then proposed for both to occupy one room; and the hotel keoper, observing them both come to- gether and apparently frionds, consented to put them into « double-bedded-room. During that even- ing they strolled about together; visited the Broad- way theatre, and then returned again to the hotel, and after some considerable talk abor* businoss and other matters—the thief still usintc!ning hia simplicity respecting his knowledge of the city, until a jate hour, when they both went to bed; an as the young countryman was much fatigued by traveling, was soon off inthe arms of morpheus, and ths remained until aroured in the morning by the rumblizz noise of the carte and omnibuses ; when o~, opening his eyes, nw greonhorn, and lo! to 4 ax \“gone.”?

We give the above dercription of ro‘ bery, in order, if possible, to prt the public on their guard against rich cunning trions.

Civeiwnati, Sept. 23, 1848.35 In the Cincinnati Chronicle, we have another letter from Henry Clay, in reference to the Presi- deney. . Certain members of the whig party of cin- nati, it seems, had addressed Mr. Clay, mviting- him to assume an “ independent position” with regard to the present canvass for the Presidency, ard assuring him of the earnest support of nume- rous friends. In answer to this Mr. Clay says, in substance:— “My name, gentlemen, was submitted by my consent to the consideration of the National Whig Convention, which met in Philadelphia, but which did not think proper to place mein nominanon as a candidate for the Presidency. “I have quietly submitted to the decision of that body, and cannot consent to any further cone sideration of my name in connexion with the of fice of President of the United States; and ac- cordingly I have refrained from giving, and must continue to decline giving, the slightest encou- Tagement or countenance to any such use of it.” (Signed) H.
