J -gonal interest would have sustaine Own Statement, Quite Bad Enough—Affairs of the Holy Episcopal Church in New Jersey. The undersigned was elected Bishop of New Jersey on the 8d day of October, 1882, bemg then rector of Trinity Church, in the city of Boston. He had no knowledge that it was intended to use his name in that connection ; the first intimation on the subject being the airival of the committee fent to announce to him the result, In the matter of support, the committee ttated that nothing had been done by the convention ; but that it was un- derstood that it should receive attention at the bext session.* Accustomed to leave the guidanee of his ways to Almighty God, regarding the so- lem act of the coavention as done under His di- rection, and urged to acqui in it by those of the Bishops on whom he had habitaally ‘relied for counsel, he consented, and was consecrated on the 31st day of October, 1832. In the summer of 1833, being then ut lode in the eity of Burling- ton, but on the point of establishing himself m the city of Newark, on strong representations of ad- Vantage to the chureh from such an arrangement, the venerable Dr. Wharton died; and at the ur- gent solicitations of the vestry and parishioners he accepted the rectorship thus vacated. The salary otiered was $440 per annum, with the pursonag: increased aft ard to $700. peried of his rectorship, an avers one-half of this sum has been paid of others, rendered necessary by his occupati with the duties of the diocess. Prom thy itself Iris annusl receipts to June 1 last, includi travelling expenses and postage, have> averaged $241. These two have been his oaly sources of official income ; and together have not exceeded $500 per annum, At the date of the consecration of the undersign- ed, the chureh in the dive of New Jersey was in a most ferble and depressed condition, “As an illustration of it, the whole amount of the mission- ary collections, from all the parishes, reported at the convention of 1833, was $121 ( It was ob- vieus that, to revive the work of the Lord, and have more than a name to hive, something was called fogheyond the slow and distant hope of pa- rochial iS ovement. A rally of churchmen was needed, on church principles, for the worl of the church. The natural reliance, with God’s bless- ing, must be on Christian education ; and the plan ofa diocesan school for boys was proposed, at a very early day. While this was in contemplation the fe ey of a long established female semin , in the city of Burlington, desiring to retire fom its charge, proposed to the undersigned to purchase the establishment, as a church school for girls. This was in 1836. On consultation with judicious friends, here and elsewhere, who adyised the enterprise, and offered their aid in carrying it into effect, it was undertaken. And “St. Mary’s Hall, tor female education, on church principles,” ‘was opened, on the first day of May, 1837. The announcement was received with acclamation throughout the church. But who does not remem- ber the waves and billows which, that season, overran the land ? ¢ What strongest house, what most established institution, at that time, was not shaken? The wrecks stil lie along the shore. Its first effect upon the undersigned was to arrest the subscrip- tion to a loan of $25,000 toward an endowment, before twe-hirds of it had been obtained, and leave him to supply the deticiency as he best could. Its farther effect was to keep down the patronage of the institution, for several years, to a point far below the cost of maintenance. Nevertheless, ‘+ did not stop. _ And, at one time, when there were but twenty-six pupils, more than one quarter of them were free ; being orphans, or children of po- verty. To go on at such a rate, of course, involv- ed a debt. The undersigned had faith in God ; and merging in the work his whole resources and his credit, it went on. As prosperity returned to the country, patronage flowed in upon St. Mary’s Hall. And then success became, embarrassing. Buildings were to be erected, and fixtures and fur- niture were to be supplied; and to do this, there ‘was no resource but current income, or pledg credit. Of course the debt increased. To provide for it, paper must be used. To be procured, it must be paid for. And then in a majority of cases, its discount must be had at extra cost. A perfect confidence that continued success would ensure ultimate relief, encouraged exertion; and made trials tolerable, for the work’s sake, which no per- d one week. The acceptance of the Christian school for girls, ereated a demand for a Christian school for boys. People said, ** Why not provide for our sons, as well as for our daughters?” There was waste water that might help to turn another mill: | In 1845, special circumstances seemed to indi- cate that the time had come for such an under- taking. A movement was then made for a school for boys, such as St. Mary’s Hall already was for girls. The proposition met with signal favor. It was at once said, ** Why not make it acollege 2 The time is propitious. At any rate, procure a charter, and use it when you are ready.” A charter was procured. A site was purchased. The pressure of patronage forced on the work beyond its time, so that, at the end of two years, the catalogue en- rolled a hundred and twenty-seven students. There was no endowment here was was no meneyed pasonage. Every thing v as (o be done, and nothing to do it with. Every thing was done, and done with nothing. For, what was asubscrip- tion of $8,000 toward the grounds, the buildings, the fixtures, the furniture, the upparatus—the en- tire prevision, religious, scholastic and domestic— for a hundred and IPs bee ae childien, and the whole staff of teachers? Nevertheless, the pro- vision has been made, and the children have been collected, and there they are. The examination just closed has secured, as it deserved, the highest approbation. And he who, with God’s blessing, has accomplished these things, after two most dangerous attacks of illness, which confined him for nearly five months, having exhausted in his enterprise for Christian education, his means and his credit, is left with two most successful institu- tiens, whose annual receipts are not less than $70,000,and with an unmanageable debt. When the undersigned first owned the merey ef Almighty God, in turaing back his face and feet from toward the grave, his Instinctive impulse was to provide for the reduction of this indebtedness. It was well established that, if the two institutions were subjected te nothing more than their preper expenditure—freed, that is to say, from the disad- vantages of a credit system of business, and of an extravagunt outlay for the maintenance of credit —a very large per c plage of their receipts, after aying the whole cost of eee them on, might applied to that object. He therefore invited three of bis friends to accept the trans‘er of his whole intesest in both, numbering together two hundred and eighty-reven pupils, in trust, to secure their most ef- fective and ecenomical adwinistration ; and then to distribute the surplus receipts, from time to time, among the creditors of both; he himseif. devoting him. eelf, as heretofore, and more, to their continuance and success; and waiving all claim for consideration or ‘eompenration, till every form of indebtedness should be extinguished, At two large meetings of the persons hietly intererted, this proposition was approved, and rosecution was earnestly recommended. Ultimate- owever, it was frustrated by the refaral of two or eto sign the necessary agreement; not because they did not desire that it should be carried into effect, and believe thatit might be juccessfully, but, from expectations, unreasonably entertained, of relief During the whole e of more than $ Jirom other quarters. f Ata council ofhis friends, ealled to consider what should be done, in this state of aifair., the undersigavd was unanimously advised (0 make an sas, tent of all his property jor the benedt ofall bis credit ¢; and to arrange, for the carryivg on of the institations, under his own conduct and eupervision, but on the tinancial ion of othe: The un fore proposed. gives up his pr y it may, a debt not personal to hiuself—his private in- eome being more thau equal to his private expenditure —but growing out of his venture for Christian educa- tion in the two institutions above named; and only de- sires the time and opportunity to meet end pay the whole amount of debt, in principal and interest. Nothing daunted or discouraged by anything which has occurred, he renews the devotion of the #trength jously restored to him, to the same sacred cause far from being daunted or discouraged, he consi: that the foundation of bis great work is now first made sure; and he firmly believes that, with the eontinu- ‘anee of the heavenly favor heretofore youchsafed, every form of embarrassment, in a very few years, will be removed; and two great institutions remain to be perpetual blessings to the country and the church.

The undersigned submits this simple statement to those whom it may concern, All that it presents, of the past and the present, is real and actual.

A comparison is instituted, in the article to which I refer, between the fine line of steamers built by Mr. Aspinwall, for the Pacific service, a the steamers contracted for at the same time betw s vana, New Orleans, and Chagres, for which, as you state, the contractors are now in the receipt of the sum ot $25,600 per month, d_ which have not yet been put in operation. Whence the delay of the commence- ment of the latter branch of the service, is the question which, in the absence of and explanation, you ask, and which very naturally arises. Fortavately. au explana- tion is by no means difficult. Mr. Aspinwail contracted for three steamers, of 1,000 tons, or thereabouts, in burthen. and completed them in fair time The con- tractor for the West India service engaged to construct steamers of the burthen of 1,500 tons, but, at the in- stance of the government, subsequently agreed to In- crease the of his veseels to almost double that ca- pacity. it having m decided that it would be for the interest of the service that steamers adapted for war purposes in the Atlantic should be of th ery largest class, In accordance with that understanding. two steamers, one of 2.800 and the other of 2,600 tons, have been constructed and are now nearly ready for sea, muking a tonnage of 5.400, to set-off against the 3,000 tons of Mr Aspinwall. If this difference in the amount of labor and expense is not sufficient to aceount for the difference in time of completion, which will not exceed six months, the well known difliculty of procuring tim- ber of the requisite quality and dimensions. whieh ex- isted at the commencement of this great undertaking, von. seem to afford @ satisfactory solution of the elay. The article referred to goes on to characterize this mail line as being stillin embryo, and states that its benefits thus far are unknown, except to thore who are in receipt of the monthly bonus. Now, whether a line which presents, almort entircly completed, two of the largest and fincst steamers ever launched, upon the hulls and engines of which have been expended the first mechanical talestin the couatry, and an amount of money excveding half a million of dollars, can be con- sidered merely in embryo, I leave to the decision of any one who has the curiosity to pay a visit to the veasels in question, Equally erroneous is the suggestion that the benefits eonterred by this line are unknown, except to the recipients of the monthly bonus of $25 000. ‘The “contractors of the line in question (although, for rea- fons assigned, they have not yet put in commission their permanent force), have performed. by vessels tein- porarily accepted by government, one-half their regular service, having delivered « mail monthly at every port on their route, and are still continuing to do so. with- out any monthly bonus or mail pay whatever. True it is, that Congress, ia its discretion, advanced to the West India line, in common with Mr. Aspinwall’s Paci- fic line, and Mr ¢ ollin:’s Liverpool I:ne, on: fyear’s mail pay, toaidin the completion of the vessels; but this was done for the advancement of what was considered a great public interest, and not for any services ren- dered whatever. Is it not unfair, then, in the last de- gree, te select the West India line, which bas performed seven tours of mail duty. as an object of animadversion —to accuse it of receiving pay fer services not rendered, while Mr. Aspinwall’s Pacific line, which has delivered but one mail, is held up as worthy of commendation, and Mr. Collins’s L oe line, which ver pre- tended to perform aay duty whatever, though in receipt of @ much larger advance, escapes unscathed from all censure? Really, tir, though far from accusing you of any design to misrepresent, | must be permitted to say, that thore who have undertaken te (Inform you upon this subject, have abured your confidence. by suppress- ing rome facts, and twisting others to suit their own: ends, instead of giving you a fair statement of the case. Your understanding of the contract, as original; made with the government, for the West India line, ‘4 correct, so far as the service to be performed and the amount tobe paid are concerned. The subsequent variution of the terms in regard to the size and ex- reg of the steamers, made by goverhment iteelf, I ave already stated, and, in answer to the intimation held out. that it would be desirable to know when the service would be performed. according to: contract, I will merely state that the Ohio will go to sea in July, and the Georgia in September, at the latest, when it % expected that the service, and the whole service, will be perfurmed, according to contract. As to the ex- teurion of time by govt ‘rnment, it is neither the prac- jor Would it bef rihe interest of g vernment to up- press such of its citizens as fulfil their contracts ac- -cording to the best of their ability ; @ liberal exten- son of time has been granted to the contractors on the Bremen line and on the Liverpool line, although they had no especial claim to it. Whyany objection should be raised to an equal extension in favor of the West india line, which, from its extra undertaking. at the instance of government, has a fair claim to it, { con- fess 1 am unuble, upon any principle of justice or equity. to disc As to the necessity of having, in our intercourse with San Francisco facilities on this side of the Isthmus equal to thore enjoyed on the other side, we shall not differ. But have not those facilities existed hitherto ? Have not even greater facilities. existed through the steamers employed by this line on this side? But one mail has been delivered at Panama by the Pacitic line ; seven have been delivered by the West Indi line ai If the mail from fen Francisco was im one instance delayed, because the Pacific steamer did not arrive till atter the sailing of the Falcon. how many mails from the Atlantic ‘coust laid over, because the Pacific line had mot arrived at their port} “It is right,” says the article, “ that government should as- sist and foster our foreign lines of steamers. to en- able them to compete with lines fostered by other governments, as is the ease of jthe Cunard line? That is the very principle upon which the con- tractor for the West Indi (who, by the way, was the original projector of this whole system of ocvan steam rervice,) asked the assistance of government, “ But,” continues the article referred to,“ it is unjust in the extreme, anda vile abuse of authority, to aid one line of steamers to run against another in the coasting trade.” Is the West Indéa line merel erst IsHavana a foreign port? In Chagres a foreign port or not? Does not Great Britain foster a line of steamers to the West Indies and the Gulf of Mexico? Really, | should be glad to be informed why an Ameri- un steam marine, to compete with the British lines in that quarter, should not receive the same degree of public patronage which is extended to tie trans- atlantic lines? In one most importunt point of view4it vastly more essential that we should have a fleet of steamers adapted to war purposes on our southern coast wad on the Gulf of Mexieo, than anywhere els; and thi, was so fully impressed upon the minds of our rulers and members of Congress, by the wlarm which was felt at the presence of the large steam force main- tained in the West Indien and the Guif by Great Bri- tuin, pending eur last anticipated difficulty with that power, that it decided the question in favor of the Ocean Steam service, in spite of every objection that could be raised against it. Now, is this great and established branch of public poliey to be abandoned, becaure the steam squadron, which, in time of war, id to be the most efficient arm of detence for our southern seaboard, will compete, in time of peace, with the mer- chant steamers employed in the coasting trade? The private lines between New York and New Orleans, Charleston. Savannah, &c., are doing well, it is stated, and we do not doubt they will continue to do well for their owners; for ther business enough for all 0 Police Inte! nce. Arrested Again.—Officer A. M. C.

Some rowdies, whose names are unknown, becoming impatient at the delay in epening the gates, threatened to tear the gates down, and actually threw arope over the pickets of the ferry gate, and com- menced pulling. doubtless with the intention of foreing an entrance. They were prevented in these designs, however, by the tiniely interference of ofticers Folk and Wolven, to whom too much credit cannot be given for their untiring exertions in preserving the peace of the city. Some one, at this juncture, cut the rope which had been thrown over the gate, and the gate flew sud- denly back, striking Mr. Folk over the left eye, and stunning that officer fora few moments, He recovered himself, however, and arrested a man named Reilly, who seemed to be one of the ringleaders in the move- ment.

She acted in similar manner with another small purchase on the same occasion, and thus obtained two dilferent signatures from him. Witness presumes that the paper bad been chemically prepared. so as to be susceptible of taking offa portion of the writing and leaving the material part untouched; the accused stated that her name was Mademoiselle Maria, Witness being ques- tioned by Mr. Soule, declared that he had never signed a note of the kind; that the accused had been only once or twice in bis store, and that the scandalous rumors aflout in regard to an intimac falve; witness was positive with her were entirely at he had never signed the note; in fact, he had never, on any previous occa- sion, issued apy such note Cross-examined by Mr. Dufour.—Is this your signe- ture?

Mr. D. contended that his client could not be deem- ed culpable, if the entire busis of the prosecution, the signature to the note, was dirposed of iu such an un- sstisfactory manner, Mr. Souce insisted that under the eircumstances no other reply could be called for on the part of the wit- ness. . then produced # magnifying glass and ap- plied it to the signature, so as to satisfy the court that the body of the note had been run in subsequently to the siguature, He also pointed to the solemn deelara- tion of the witners that he had never signed his name in such & manner, Mr. Dvreur still insisted on a plain, straightforward answer to his question, but on propounding it again, the reply was the came as at first.

He shifted also the ground of defence by alleging the husband of the cured was responsible for the acts of his wife, and that on him rested the responsibility of the affair. ‘The Court, however, refused to entertain these ar- guments, and committed the secused for trial before the First Distriet Court.

City Intelligence, Tue Fine at Hanais’s & Ockennausen’s Sugar Re- yineny—Funtner Panricutans.—There are some inte- resting particulars and incidents of the fire in Duane street, on Tuesday evening, which, from the late hour in the morning before its ravages were stayed, we were unable to insert in yesterday’s Herald, bat which we supply to-day. On looking at the ruins yesterday, in daylight, they presented a scene of desolation bearing emphatic testimony to the power of the destructive ele- ment, and the victory it achieved, in despite of its great antagonist, the Croton water, and the skill and energy with which it was wielded by the fire compa- nies. ‘There were heaps of brick, charred timber. and moulds, out of which the dissolved sugar flowed the night before in liquid fire, all lying in promiscuous confusion; while here and there the smouldering flam still shot up, and @ small portion of the walls and the large chimney (which is cracked) stood as memorials of what had been. There was one curious feature in the scene—a Croton pipe, that had been used in the refinery, having been broken, continued to throw up the water like a jet, as it did the night before, amidst the flames, The trees in the grounds of the Honpital exhibit scorched appearance from the excessive heat —a circumstance which will give some idea of the strength of the fire, Mr. Hurris’s dwelling house, ad- joining the sugar refinery, notwithstanding the efforts to save it, and the degree of success that attended these efforts, had all the appearance of a wreck. It was strewed with broken furniture and charred wood, while the floors were completely saturated with water, whieh dripped through the ceilings like rain, rendering them so uselrss that they must bo taken down, As we ascended to the attic story, where the brave fireman threw himself into the flames with his hose, the ap- pearance was still more desolate.

The loss, after receiving this money. is calculated at $45.000.
