By far the most important feature of this number of our journal is the account of the reception of the steamship Crescent City by the Cuban authorities, on her last trip from this | port to Havana, by which it will be observed that | the statement exclusively published in Sunday’s edi- | tion of the Henan is fully confirmed in every par- ticular. we have inserted the recent correspondence between Hon. C. M. Conrad, late Acting Secretary of State, and Mr. George Law, President of the United States Mail Steamship Company, an interesting letter from our Havana correspondent, a communication, giving the Spanith side of the question, the opin- ions of the Cuban government, tranrlated from its official organ, &c., the whole forming a complete resumé of the entire case, to which we have advert- edat ‘Aexyable length in another article. The result of the recent election in Massachusetts, as was avticipated, exhihits the curiously compli- cated and perplexing entanglement in which the different political parties have managed to enmesh themselves in that State. Frecsoilism, the Maine Jaw, spiritual manifestation, and all the other clap- treps that were brought into the canvass, have per- formed their work to admiration, and the conse- quence is that but few candidates were elected to fill any of the numerous offices. Mr. Clifford, the | regular whig nominee for Governor, falls short of a majority some twelve or thirteen thowsand votes. | Only three Congressmen have been chosen out of the fourteen voted for, viz: Messrs. Scudder, Ap- pleton and Walley, all three of them whigs, aad the two former members of the present Congress. Tho Btate Senate, on assembling, will probably stand eleven whigs toithirteen opposition. In the House | there are no less than two hundred and twenty- | seven vacancies—the whigs having only elected ninety and the opposition sixty members. Parties in that State are literally cut up, twisted up, and | tied up ; and little or nothing has thus far been ex- | tracted from the chaotic mass, except the determi- | nation, by a majority of over five thourand votes, to ©a]l a convention for the revision of tha State con- stitution. This is a very important item, and will probably again lead the politicians into more in- extricable confusion than ever. Time and reflection may work them out of the dilemma. No sooner has the excitement appertaining to the Presidential election fairly enbsided, than the country is filled with speculations and rumers of all sorts relative to (he cabinet of the incoming admin- istration. Almost every political wiseacre in the land bas been busily engaged, for some days, in ar- | ranging and filling the offices for Gen. Pierce; but whether that gentleman will approve of these se- lections we shall all know on or after the fourth of next March. In the meantime, we elsewhere give the names of some of those who have thus been brought forward as likely to fili promineat stations, both in and out of the cabinet. We like- wise publish letters from our correspondents at Con- cord, Washington, and Newport, the opinions of the German and French prees of this city concerning the clection of Gen. P., &e ; all of which will be found exceedingly interesting to all classes of so- ciety. We continue to receive scattering returns of the late Presidential election, but they contain nothing wortby of remark, except that Tennessee and Ken- tucky have gone for Seott, and North Carolina pr bably for Pierce. The frauds at Pittsburg eiting considerable attention in that vi i Several moro arrests have been made—among them men high in office From the West we learn that Thomas Carnal, a son-in-law of Gov. Foote, of Mississippi, was killed by James Carnal, at Kentucky Bend, last Monday. The difficulty originated in a family quarrel. ‘The railroad mania is still potent in the North Americen British provinces, as will be seen by the despatch from Quebec. Tho various Legislatures are adopting measures for the construction of roads in a)] directions. Having witnessed the wonderfal effects produced by the enterprize and ingenuity of | their Yankee neighbors, the provincials have finally | determined to do something for themselves. Suc- cess to them. Snow is beginning to come down quite freely in different sections of the country. The ground at Lenox, Mags , was covered by it on Monday night. The weather in this vicinity, at three o'clock this morning, indicated snow, but none was seen. In the Board of Assistant Aldermen, last evening, a debate sprang up relative to the adoption of a report of a spevial committee in favor of constract- ing a railroad from Second avenue to Peck slip. The objection was more to the detail of the pro: poced route than to the principle of the making a railway in the direction. We give a report else- where. An additional appropriat'on of seven thou- eand eight hundred dollars was concurred in, in order to enable the Comptroller to discharge ox- penees incurred in rendering funeral honors to the | late Henry Clay—the amount to be added to the annual appropriation fcr county contingencies. We perecivethat General Sandford has detailed | that noble and public epirited corpe, the Lafayette Fusilecrs, Captain R. French, to act a guard of | of honor on the occesion of the ce obsrquies of Mr Webster. The civil departments, will turn out in grea the occasion In another column we presont our readors with an exclusive report of the proceedings of the court wartial which is now being held on Capt McLane It will be seen that the court stands adjourned to ten o'clock this morning The steamships Humboldt and Canada are now fully due from Europe—the former at this port, with four day’e, and the latter at Halifax, with one | week's later advices. Apropos—is it not a little | military t force upon Bowery—Equastatan Feats ann Arann | In connection with this Cuban difficulty, | by way of Halifax the telegraphic wires have of Jate either broken or been rendered unmanageable ? The Eastern line, over the Kennebec river, was down yesterday afternoon, and no communication could be had with Halifax. The House line to Boston was likewise broken down yesterday at Wash'ng- ton,Bridge, near Bridgeport, in conzequence of tho passage of a vessel. The wires will be repaired early this morning. Tn another column we josert some very interest ing information concerning the Episeopal Church, the ceremonies to take place to-day, on the ocer sion of the consecration of the Birhop elect, the Rev J M. Wainwright; biographical sketches of his predecessors, &e. A very fall report of the proceedings in the slave case, in the Superior Court, yesterday, will be found elsewhere. The argument ef counsel having been concluded, Judge Paine announced that he would reserve his decision till Saturday. The;court | room was crowded throughout tbe session by per | sons of all eclors, who manifested the utmost in. terest in the case. | As usual, our columns contain a great variety of | reading, to which we cannot give more than a mere passing notice. Woe will wind up by simply | directing the attention of the reader to the report of the Annual Meeting of the New York Female Assistance Seciety; Mr. Whipple's Lecture on Martin Luther; Monetary and Trade Reports; City, Police, and Miscellaneous Intelligence, &¢ The News from Cuba—Diagracefal Condact of our Government. | We publish this morning a very important te- legraphic despateh from New Orleans, detailing the circumstances under which the Crescent City, | on her last visit to Havana, was permitted to | land her mails and passengers, and informing us of the expressed determination of the Captain- General of Cuba to exclude her, on her return trip, from all communication with the shore in case the obnoxious “individual,” Mr. Purser Smith, is por- mitted to remain on board. These facts have al- ree dy appeared in brief in Sunday’s Hsraup; but the particulars given this morning will be perused with avidity. In connection with this subject, wo also publish the last correspondence which has passed be:weon Mr. George Law, President of the United States Mail Steamship Company, and Mr. Conrad, the late Acting Secretary of State to this government, as also the despatch from the New Orleans agent of the company to Mr. Roberts, inthis eity. Besides these important decuments, we publish two let- ters from Havana--one from ayprivate corresp2n- dent, and another from a Spanish gentleman, | Cuban government. We likewise furnish to our | readers translations of three or four articles from | the Diario de la Marina, the official organ at Ha- vapa, giving their construction of the pringiples of | international comity and of the terms of the treaty | between Spain and the United States. | From the information thus received, it appears | tat Mr. Conrad, on behaif of the American govern | ment, has been guilty of double dealing and con- | tewptible manceuvering, utterly disreputable in it- selj, and disgraceful to any administration. While writing to the sieamship company hero, ass-rt- ing that be did not know anything at all about the sflair in dispute between them and the su- | thorities at Havana, the government was pro- | curing the publication of articles in the Republic | newspaper, assuring the country that they had ta- | ken high ground in the matter, and would watchful- | ly protect the rights of American citizens, and the | honor of the national flag; and yet at the same | time Mr Conrad was pledging himself to the Span- | ich minister at Washington, that neither Lientonant | Porter nor Purser Smith should be permitted to re- | turn to Havana in the Crescent City. In accord- | ance with this pledge Lieutenant Porter was trans | ferred to the Georgia, while his removal was falsely | attributed toa compliance with his own request. And then the same truckling policy which has | characterized the course of our government all through this affair was set to work to pro- cure the dismissal of Purser Smith. The agent of the company, Mr.” Roberts, was epeci- elly cent for to go to Washington, to get hin | to accord to the wishes of Mr. Conrad, and verify the agsu minister. rance given by bim to the Spanish But the company disdained to submit to presenting the view of things entertained by the | | of stuff and nonsense which have filled the colonial | cover what the Canadian Parliament has donz. | Room the-e was ample for sound practical legislation | The reform of the tenure of lands ia the lower The Parliament of Canada adjourns to-day, after & tolerably quiet seszion of some twelve weeks. This sudden adjournment is obviously due to the panic created by the appearance of the cholera at Quebec; thovgh Mr. Priuce’s reasons for post; far- ther consideration of the public business tili Februs- ry are doubtJesa very plausible, the rapid flight of many of the leading members of the lower House had already rendered them superfluous. Canadian statesmen, it seems, are more careful of their own bodies, than of the body politic ; they prefer allow- ing the most magnificent schemes of legislative re f.rms to shrivel and wither, rather than expose their perscns to the horrors of a collapse. If, however» any feel inclined to cavil at this ‘better part of valor,’’ a glance at the net results of the last twelve weeks will perhaps convince them that the proviace is not likely to be a serious loser by the cessation of the parliamentary debates. Indeed, when we endeavor to analize the columas papers tince August, we are almost at a loss to dis province—The repeal of the absurd usury Jaws—the substitution of a sensible working body for the pre- sent inefiicient legislative councii—some approach to a settlement of the clergy reserves dispute— tho repeal of tho restrictions imposed on trade by Roman Catholic bigotry—and many other such a humiliating requisition, and absolutely re- | fused to discharge from their employment an offiver who bad always faithfully performed his duty to them and to the country. They, therefore, continued Mr. Smith in his post as Purser of the Creseont City, and the ridiculous efforts of the Acting So- cretary of State against him were futile. ‘tis unnecessary here to refer to the first cor- respondence which passed between Mr. G. Law and Mr. Acting Secretary Conrad, in regard to the | expulsion of the Crescent City from Havana. The tardy reply of Mr. Conrad is already too weli known to the public. But when Mr. Law, despising such dodging and quibbling as that re- sorted to by Mr. Corrad, wrote to him the letter which we publish this morning, reqniring to know tpecifically “‘ what interpretation our own goverpmert gave to the rights of Anerican citi- zens and of this company,” how characteris 3 the reply he received! ‘* I must be exeneed, “says the model statesman mation or advice on the subject.” Whas fuge for a statesman entrusted with the direction of the affairs of the country to shrink into! It is no wonder, after such an exhibition, that the Span- iards ehould delight in insulting the flag of a country whore administration is lodged in such hande. According to the official despatch received from the agent of the Company io New Orleans, an apol- | ogy has been offered to the Cuban governtwent, in- steud of exacting full reparation from them for the injuries perpetrated on American citizens, and the continued insults offered to our fig. This, we suppose, is the “high ground” which the Republic assured the country would be taken by the admin- istration. If it is, all we can say is thot it is dia- graceful to the government, humiliating to the | people, and only calculated to give more overbear- ing presumption to any who may glory in out- raging the feelings of our citizensin the waters of Havana or elsewhere. We would remind the administration that they have not now to deal with a band of /illibusteros, whom it was only necessary for them to brand as outlaws, robbers, and pirates, but with a great commercial company, representing the interests of the hundreds of thou- sands of passengers, and the hundred millions worth of property, that are annually transported in their ships; and the country will hold them responsible that the righte of American citizens are not out raged, nor their flag ineulted with impunity. What will the government at Madrid do when it hears of all this? Will the eabinet, after the as, eembling of the Cortes, take measures to repudiate the late trangactions at Havana, recall the Captain. General, introduce ameliorations in the political condition of the island, make liberal changes in the conduct of affairs there, and thus save the Queen of the Antilles 1 We shall ee. Mustoal.

We can fancy the blush which an inquiry , into the state of the measures proposed and | promised for the remedy of these several grievances will summon to the check of honest members of the Canadian Parliament. The Seigniorial Tenure Committee have gone to great expense in publishing a large blue book, which contains all tho original grants of land in the lower province. This seems, however, to be the most tangible fruit ot their la- bors. Neither the bill to declare what really is the state of the law, nor the one to modify it when de- clared, have, as far as we can discover, been intro- duced into the House. Thus, an agitation which might bave been terminated has been wilfully pro. longed, to t! anifest injury of both seignior and tenant. Mr. Brown’s bill to modify the usury laws has passed a second reading by a bare majority, Its narrow escape seems to have deterred its mover fiom hurrying on the final reading—it will, in all probability, lig over till February, and thus the in- cubus wilt hang round the neck of capitalists several months longer. We see no definite prospect of the abolition of the legitlative council. Now, as that body has justly fallen in public esteem, it will not do to destroy it recklessly, without providing a substitute. The bill, which was introduced by the Provincial Se- cretary, to render it elective, wasa monstrosity. Ho | proposed that those only should be eligible who hid | sat in the Assembly, or who had filled the munici- | pal office of mayor; thus restricting the p»pular choice to two classes of individuals, who were not | peculiarly calculated to grace the responsible posi- | tion of Senators. He inzisted, also, on retaining in | the lower House the right of disolving his “‘sonato;” | a power which would obviously render the latter as useless as its predecessor. On these, and other it can hardly survive. We should not bo surprised if on the re-opening some other member introduced a bill to attain the same object by a more reason able process. As usual, the debate on the clergy reserves gave | tise to some very fino declamation. The new Col- | onial Secretary declined to yield up the control of | the reserves to the Colonial Parliament, and Mr. Hincks very properly moved a string of resolutions, protesting indignantly against thie glaring violation of the weli understood principles of self govern- ment, which the predecessors of Sir John Paking- on established. We notice that they have served as a handle for the English liberals to abuse the ministry; but we doubt whether they will produce _ any practical effect so long as Lord Dezby retains In one respect—and in one only, we fear—has the Canadian House evinced a proper regard for the in- terests of the country. We allude to the railways. Mr. Hincks’ railway policy covereth a multitude of sing, and our Canadian cotemporaries would show much more sense and patriotism, by displaying scu.® | symptoms of gratitude, than by exhibiting their | petty ill-will towards the minister. We may now | consider the railway betweon Montreal and Toronto as secured. It is to be built by the firm of Jackson, Brassey, Peto, and Betts, of London—men, whose fame as capitalists is world wide. The same gon- | tlemen are also at work on the line from Quebec to | Richmond, which isto strike the St Lawrence and | Atlantic railroad at the latter place. The great Western line, in Upper Canada, is progressing sat factorily; and in a fow years we have every reason to believe that a continuous line from the shores ef Lakes Erie and Huron to Quebec, will bein suc- ceseful operation. We congratulate Canada on the prospect. Mr. Hincke has kindly informed us that he does notintend to bring forward his new commorcial | | | | | | | | | policy till after the recess. This piece of news will | | be congolatory to the owners of echoonera and barges | in the West, whceo vessels ar2 grantod a reepi'e of | three months; and to the merchants of New York | and Boston, who are permitted to send forward | their fell supplies to Canada without paying any | additional duty. We aro inclined to hold a moro | favorable opinion of Mr. Hincks’ heart than his threats would seem to justify, and will assume the Tesponsib: of prophesying that, when his Parlia ment meets, in February, he will again inform the world that a further respite cf twelve months hay been gracioutly awarded us to propare for the erucl blow. To beserious, measures of retaliation against | the United States, because the cabinet will not consent to a one-sided system of reciprocity, arc not atall the thing for Canada, any more than the closing of the Welland canal to the vessels from which it cerives its income. It is the obvious policy of the British provinces to procure thoir supplies as cheap!y as they can, and not to tie themselves to importing by thie route or by that route in pre- | ferenceto ail others. It never can be as economical to import certain gooda by the St. Lawrence, as j it is to procure them from New York. .The only | effect of a system of differential duties such as Mr. | Hineks propores, would be to raise the price of commodities of prime necessity in Canada. Here, our mercantile community would hardly feel the loss if Canada were altogether blotted out of the | map | Kituated as Canada is, her interest dictates the cultivation of the most friendly relations with the United States. It isin our power, if we wers so | dispored, to inflict far greater injuries on the British | provinces than they could possibly inflict on us As wo stated above, the Canadian trade is a matter | perfectly insignificant to American merchants, while | we, on the other hand, are growing every day more necersary to Canada.

The puny British colony will, ere long, be absorbed, like one of Saturn's children, and form orce more an integral portion of the pa- rent country.

Provcost and Jarvis. | Insted twenty nine years, the number of clergy in the di OPAL CHURCH. Rrrrrrrre ‘The Consecration to-day of the Bishop Elect, The recently elected Provisional Bishop of the diocess of New York is to be consecrated this morning, at Trinity Church. at eleven o'clock. A very large number of the clergy, aud of lesding members of the Episcopal commu- nion, are to be congregated; and the occasion is, om many accounts, one that may well awakens lively interest. Dr. Wainwright will be the fifth Protestant Bishop of New York, His predecessors have been Bishop Provoost, Birhop Moore, Bishop Hobart, and Bishop Onderdonk, ‘The Rt. Rev. Samuel Provoost, the first bishop of the diovers, is entitled to tbe epithet Patriot Pastor of the Cbureh, as his history eviaces in a pleasing manner. He was @ polite scholar, well read in the Latin and Greek claseies, and was acquainted, also, with the Hebrew lan- guage, and with French ond Italian. He enjoyed, also, the advantage of an engaging personal appearance, and an a‘tractive and conciliating urbavity of manners. One of bis forefathers, William Provoost, a Frenoh Protestant, fled from France to Holland, at the memorable epoch of the marsacre, on St Bartholomew's day, in the reign of Charles IX, David Provoost.the grandson of this Protestant refugée, was the bishop's first American pro- genitor. He migrated from Holland to our New Nether- lands in the year 1624, and was an oificer in the military tervice of our Duteh government, John Provoost, the birhop's father, was a lineal descendant of this Dutch officer, and, like bis progenitors, was a member of the Dutch chureh, He wasa native of this city, where he was born, Febi nary 20 1742, He graduated in the year 1758, at our Columbia College, then called King’s Col- lege; and soon after. repairing to England, he became a student and graduate at St. Peter's College, Cambridge, where his private tutor was the celebrated Dr. John Jebb. He was ordained deacon by the Bishop of London, at Westminster. in 1760, and was admitted to priest's orders, at Whitehall, soon after, by Dr. Kean, the Bishop of Chester. He married at Cambridge, returned to our city, and was elected (1760) ap Assistant Minister of Trimity Church. At the period of our revolutionary struggle, he became a decided advocate of the popular cause; but the pre- dominance of toryism among the elergy compelled him to withdraw from his official staifon, and to retire, in the year 1770. toa small farm in Dutchess county, While there he received many testimonials of public favor from his whig friends, being proposed as a delegate to the Pro- vincial Congress, in 1775, and chaplain to the convention that formed tke first constitution of our State, and being jnvited to the rectorsbip of St. Michael’s church, Charles- town, and of King’s chepel, Boston. But he declined all thege, and other offices, and patiently awaited the resuits ofthe political convulsion of the times, After many trials, and encountering such extreme pecuniary embarrassment that he was compelled to dispose of part of his household furniture to procure the necessaries of life he at last ex- ulted at the triumph of liberty. Our patriot pastor was then (1784 ) called forth from his seclusion, and was elected Rector of Trinity church, in this city. He took part in organizing the union of diocesses, which constitutes | the Protestant Epi+copal Church in the United States, aad | he was the chairman of the committee that drafted and reported this church's general ecclesiastical constitution, which was wisely modelled after the federal constitution of our American republic. He was elected Bishop of the diocess of New York, inthe year 1786, when he repaired to England with Dr. Wm. White, the Bishop elect of Pennrylvania, and they were consecrated in the Archie- piscopal palace, at Lambeth, by Dr. Moore, the Arch- bishop of Canterbury, and three otber prelates of the Church of England on Sunday, February 4, 1787. Bishop Provooet was the diocesan of New York for the space of days by beresyementsand misfortunes, he resigned his rectorebip in the year 1800, and his Episcopal jurisdic- tion in the year 1801. He died September 6, 1815, at the age of eeventy: three years, The Rt. Rey. Benjamin Moore succeeded the first Dithop, He was the church’s meck aud primative apos- tle, A man of refined taste, bland, affectionate, and | devout, he was regarded by his diocess aa pre eminontly a good shepherd. He was born at Newtown, Long Island, October 5, 1748. In 1768 he graduated at King’s College. He then studied theology under the superin- tendenco of that estimable rector of Lrinity Chureb, Dr. Auchmuty. He was ordained deacon and priest by Dr. | Terrick, Bishop of London, in 1774, at Fulham. The same year, he returned to our city, and he was here | elected an assistant minister of Trinity Church. Io 1784 be was appointed professor of rhetoric and logic in Coiumbia College In 1800 he became rector of Trinity Church,a fow wicks after Biebop|Provoost had resigned the rectorship. “fn 1801 he was elected Bishop of New York and three months after, he was called to the prestdensy | of Columbia College. ~His consecration took place at Trenton, New Jersey, September 11, 1801, the Rt. Rev. Dr. White officiating, aided by Bishops Clagget and Jarvis, In 1811, a strokéof paralysis disqualified him for public duty, and he asked for an assistant bishop. This led to the election of Bishop Hobart. Five years after this period, Bishop Moore died at Greenwich, February 27, 1816, at the ago of sixty seven years, traly venerable, and universally beloved. : The Rt. Rey. John Henry Hobart, the third bishop | of the diocers, now entered on bis career as the champion of the church—an extraordinary man, a spiritual Napo- Jeom, blending with comprehensive views firm resolve, indomitable energy, and a remarkuble power of control, that not only medo his presence felt throughout his @locess and the church at Jarge, but imparted to his name a charm, inscriding it upon every page of the church's records durigg his time, and enhallowing it with imperirhable glory. He was born at Philade!phia. & tember 14, ‘5; was educated at Nassau Hail, Pri ton New Jervey, where he graduated in 1793, with the high honors of that celebrated institution. In 1793, he was ordained descon by Bishop White, ant | while yet in deacon’s orders,recelved the appointment of | assistant minister of Trinity Church, of which he at wards became recter His popularity as a proashe gained for him great oclebrity. His vigorous mind, leady pen, prompt elocution, noble fearlessness, aad | rund views of church polity, made him a distinguished | jeder in ecclesiastical affairs. In 1811, May 14, he was elected bishop, and, two weeks after, (May 20th) he and | Dr, Grisweld were consecrated in Trinity Church, by | Bishop Hobart | soon became the acknowledged chief bishop—the bright- | est ornement of the church in America, His eloquent | sermony, able charges, wonderful executive talent, rendi- | ness of thought and prompti(ude and energy of action. | bis devotional, polemic, and other writings, combined t) | render him, in our country, the observed of all observers, | And when, to recover his impaired health, he visjted | Engiond, there, too, he attracted general attention, and | won the esteem of many of the most distinguished pre- lutves end members of the English Church. He wasal- | always the master-epirit of the high church party; and he, beyond all others of our American divines, boldly Procla'med and vigorously defended the peculiar doctrines of the Episcopal Church.

At the go | of fifty-four years. in the meridian of his usefulness, and when on bis progrers through the dioceses, he suddenly sickened at Auburn, and died there, September 12, 1830, ‘The whole Episcopal Church felt the pang. Churches | were draped in mourning and funeral sermons preached in several of the dioceses; and every tribute was afforded that could testify the veneration cherished for an illua- trious chief pastor. He was truly great and good Tess then a month after Bishop Hobart died, a successor was appointed. The Right Rev. Benjamin T. Onderdonk, D. D, the de voted, and indefatigable He had been Bishop Hobart's constant friend and had co-operated with him in the exe- cution of many cf bis most’ important labors. All eyes, therefore, naturally turned to him at this crisis, and he was elected with @ remarkable unanimity, on the first ballot, October 8, 1820, The next month, Nov, 26, he was consecrated at St. John’s Chapel, in this city, by Bishops White, Brownell, and Henry U. Onderdonk. Ti" eptecopate was succesful in ancminent degree, the num- | ber of the clergy, and of the parishes rapidly increasing. But this is not the time to dwell upon a part of our eub Ject, which awakens emotions that are not now to be ex- | pressed, History will no doubt do justice to the accused, Ond to the prerentors and the court, Bishop Onderdonk was eurpended by the Court of Bishops, January 3, 1845.
