J., Sept. 3, 1953, ‘The Court of Bishops met at 10 e’clock this morning. After prayer by Bishop Otey, spectators were requested to retire. Bishop Doare protested against the of a small ante” chember, adjoining the court room, by the counsel for the prosecution, He raid it was giving them an edvan- tege not possesaed by his counsel and friends. If the doors were not to be opened to the public, he thought they rhould be entirely closed, and he protested agains proceeding until said room was cleared, Bishop Meade, of tho prosecution, objected to the mo- tion, and said the room had been rented by the prosecu- tion, and no persons occupied it but the counsel for the Prosecuting Bishops, Bishop Doaue objected that there were no counsel yet cn either side recognized by the court, and the gentlemen cocupying the adjoining room should be included in the order which excluded the public from the court room, After a brief debate, the motion prevailed, and Bishops Mellvaine and Burgess notified their friends in the smal! room to leave, Accordingiy, the legal gentlemen—Mr. Halsted and others—bad to evacuate. Bishops Otey and McUoskey were appointed = com- mittee to clear the stairs, and in a few minutes the fol: lowing erder of the committee was posted on the street door :— Persons uct members of the Court, are requested stand in tho entry, or en the atsirs, ‘The doorkeoper ia" Fe quested to enforce order.

The metion made yesterday, by Bishop Whittingham, to hear the committee of the diocess, came up. Bishop Doane addressed the court at length, urging the justness of his motion, He warned the court not to trench upon the rights of an {independent diocess. It would be a bad precedent for the church to do that which ashe had protested agsinst Rome for doing. This error the court would commit if it refused to hear the diocess of New Jersey. Bishop D. continued apeaking up to half-past 12. The debate was Continued up to 3 o'clock, with much warmth. Most cf the bishops participated. Without taking a vote on the question, the court ad- journed until Morday. The court in not quite full yet, three bishops being abeent. From Boston.

We translate the following items from the Dizrie Oficial of Mexico of the 11th of August :— THE MEXICAN OOZAN MAIL. AND INLAND COMPANY. ‘This company has received all kinds of encourage- ment from the Mexican government, and’has ob- tained every facility to carry out this enterprise, so Profitable to the republic, and the company has taken measures to give to the operations all the extension which they should have. One of the happy resulta of this reciprocal emu- lation has been to induce the American Australian Gompany to join at Acapulco the company formed by Col. Ramsey, ao that in a short time we may expect to see passengers and mails. from Australia, China, and California, crossing the Mexican repub- lic on their way to the United States and Europe. COMMUNICATION BETWEEN VERA CRUZ AND ACA- PULCO. ‘The new mail line established between Vera Cruz and Acapulco make their trips, in the hort space of seventy-two hours each way, twice a week. It is intended to make thisa daily line to carry passen gers and mails. A large number of stages, (literas, c., have arrived at Vera Cruz for this purpose, an (er we may find them on the road to commence this service. STEAMERS FOR THE PORTS OF MEXICO. We read in a New York journal of the lst July a long list of steamers now building in that city for all parts of the world. In the list is seen a steamer named the Vera Cruz, of 1,200 tons, to run in con- nection with the Texas,and make a weekly line to New Orleans and Vera Cruz. Another, the Golden Age, of 2,700 tons, will be the first of another line soon to be established, under the name of the Ame- rican Australian Company, between Acapulco and Sydney. Another, also, the San Francisco, of 2,200 tons, to run between Acapulco and San Francisco, in connection with the line of steamers established between Vera Cruz and New Orleans. It is sup- posed that, with these additions, there will be steamers arrieie and departing from Vera Cruz and Acapulco weekly. (trom the New Orleans Picayune, August 26 ] By the steamship Texas, which arrived yesterday afterneon, we bave papers from the city of Mexico to the 17th, and Vera’ Cruz to the 2lst.

Santa Anna has paida high acknowledgement of his worth to the late Minister of I'inance on the lat- ter’s resignation. Later from Santa Fe. We have received the Santa I'e Gazcite to the 30th of July from which we copy the following para- graphs :— An unsuccessful Gey was made in the early ae i July to organize the democratic party in the Ty. On the Fourth of July a ball was given at the Ux- charge, which broke up ina aa between the Mex- icans and Americans, in which Mr. John Finnegan wis killed by a pistol shot. Mr. Finnegan was a blaekemith who had resided five or six years in San- ta Fe, and was esteemed a useful, worthy, and re- spectable citizen. He was a native of Cumberland, Maryland, where his mother now resides. Ignacio aS and three others were arrested for the offence, and the examination lasted several days. They were committed to jail, the court determining that the case was not a bailable one. This occurrence took place at a ball in which both Mexicans and Ameri- cans were participating. A Mexican attempted to disturb the cued of the party, and he was put out of the room. He returned at the head of a party of his friends, and was again put out. They started off to collect @ larger force, and most of the Ameri- cans left for the purpese of escorting the females home, and others to procure military assistance. Meanwhile, the Exchange was attacked by au armed mob, the windows of the ballroom broken in, and the bar entered by men armed with pistols. An indis- criminate firing was commenced upon ali its oc2a- pants, and a like firing into the ballroom from the streets, in the course of which John Finnegan was | killed. ACCIDENT TO LIEUT. BEALE'S PARTY Information reached us a few doys since from Lieut. Beale, by Mr. Crosgrave, of his party. Mr. C. states that the party go: on rapidly aid well to Grand river, a distance of three hundred miles f Fort Massachusetts. They found the river very h and the crossing bad, owing to the mudd: of the valley bordering on the river to the distance of some miles or more in width. This mud had been left by the receding of the river, and was bh deep to a horze over the entire extent of the this made the process of digging a canoe, whic! to be done in the mud and wat>r, tedious and un- pleasant.

Dearne ener Wo observe published in the Comercio of the date stated the decree im an income tax of four reale, (four bits, a doilar,) on all incomes of plats kind above three hundred and under four hua- dred dollars, an additional half real for every addi- tional one hundred dollars down to twelve hundred dollars, and at the rate of eight per cent on the in- comes above that. This last rate, however, we are inclined tosay must be misprinted, or be in some way erroneously given, for eight reals per one hundred dollars, or one per cent. Such a monstrous demand Se claht por cent for income tax would surely not be ne. Gov. Woll, being engaged in the construction of a road from Tampico to Tula and the interior States, has artied for permission from the President to ap- prom ite $150 per month to the purpose from the ury, a8 he has hitherto been doing. The Supreme Government has resoived on remov- ing the seat of government, or at least the residence of the Governor and Commandant-General of the State, of Tameclipen to Camargo, in order that the interests of the frontier may be more closely and more advantageously superintended. The Comercio says that although there is no reason to dread any incursion or invasion, yet it is well to act on the mexim, “ forewarned, forearmed.” The outbreak at Guapajuato has, as we have al- ready announced, been quelled, but not without cus- tomary attendant severities. One of the officera en- gaged in it had fled, but being apprehended at La- gos, was immediately shot. The sergeants and cor porals engoged in it were in like manner put to death, and the private soldiers who took part in it were sentenced to imprisonment for five years, Personal Intelligence Hon.

GRAMAM BREAD, STEWED SQUASHES, AND COLD WA- TKB, AT METROPOLITAN HALL, LAST BVENING. Considt rable interest was created yesterday by the an- monunoement of the grand vegetarian banquet at Metro- politan Hall, and cn account of the extremely low price of gallery tickets, (one shilling,) the atten@ance, it was expected, would be very large. We have to say that such ‘was not the case; the five hundred thousand carnivorous citizens of New York went on in thetr wicked wayr, and ate meat ae usual, without regard to the vegetarian re- formers. The amount of indifference displayed was per feotly shocking to think of, providing that the statements of the vegetarians are correct. The grand vegetable bayquet was announced to ‘be given in Metropolitan Hall, on Saturday afternoon, at six o'clock, ia honor of the Whole World’s Temperance Convention, by the New York Vegetarian Society, of which Dr, R. T. Trall is President, The entertainment— such as % war—did not appear on the tablos till seven o'clock, avd the audience were as tardy as the vegetables. The shilling gallery, however, was pretty well filled up by gentlemen who dropped in after the late dinners at the meigthering hotels. The tables were arranged acroas the hall, with one on the stage for the leaders of the movement. The entertainment consisted entirely of veg: tables, fruits, and granpivorous productions, and the speeches partook of the eame cheering nature. At half past even o’cleck, the company eat down. ‘The tables had been arranged fcr six hundred persons,and the sents were ebout-balf filled. The ladies were in the majority. we should think, and several Bloomers also promenaded through the hall, and ‘‘showed their points’? as the racing men say. Mr. Horace Greeley occupied the chair, supported by several men and women fan.cus for the remarkable ideas which they have con- ceived and endeavored to engraft upon the public mind. Among them were the brothers Burleigh, Mc, Clarke, the “ veeolist.”” Lucy Store, Joha Pierpont, and Mrs. Frances D. Gaze. The whole affair was very dixmal— the 3 8 were generally bores. The only spirited thing during the evening was a slight disturbance and @ rather warm debate between one of ‘the orators and some of the outsiders who had bought gallery tickets for ore shilling.” Addresses were delivered by several of the individuals above named, and the Amphions gave several 607 ge in w very home like and a very pleasant style. But we will not ask our readers to accept our opinion as or- lox. Wo Deed He a full report of the whole affair in the Henatp of Monday. City Intelligence. ALARM O28 Fine, —Y esterday morning, between'll and 12 o'clock, an alarm of fire was raised for the Beventh dis- trict, which was found to proceed from the vicinity of Peck slip. There was immediately a rush in that direc. tion, of fire engines, hose carts, hook and laddera trucks, &e., ke.

Ist. Lhe commander of the United States ship of war Saint Louis threatened his Imperial Majesty's brig, the Hussar, with a hostile attack, levelliag his uns against the latter, and announcing, in writing, at if a certain individual, detained on board, and whose nationality was contested between the agentsof the two governments, was not surrendered to him at a certain hour, he would take him by force. 2. This act of hostility was committed in the port of a neutral power, the friend of the two nations, No doubt the threat to attack the ship of a sovereign State, and which carries its flag, is nothing less than a mnenace of war. Now the right to make war is necessarily, and by the very nature of that right. inherent in the sovereign power. “A right of such great importance, (says Vattel, Law of Nations, volume 2, book 3, chapter 1,) the right of judging whether a nation has a real subject of complaint, if it be a case to use force to take justly—if pradence permits it—if the good of the State requires it—this right, I say, can only belong to the nation or to the sovercign which represents it. It is no doubt among the number of those rights without which a govern- ment cannot be conducted in a salutary manner, and which is called the right of majesty”. The founders of the republic of the United States of America have fully acknowledged, from the commencement of the Union, the rights reserved for the sovereign power. The articles of confederation and perpetual union between the Ri of New Hampshire, Massa- chusseetts, &c., of the 9th of July, 1778, contain the following stipulations:—‘*The Congress 0’ the United States shall alone, and exclusively, exercise the right of declaring war and making ne This basis of the pu law of North Ameri has been maintained and sanctioned by the consti- tution of the United States of the 17th of September, 1787, which in the sth s licltly the Congress the power of declari stitution of the United Stat perfect harmony with the public law of .

It follows that hostilities cannot be frirly exercised within the territorial jurisdiction of the neutral State, which is the common friend of the two parties. Not only are all captures made by hey cruisers within Yaa’ Ba 2 illegal and null, but the cap- tures made by ships gf war, which piace themseives within bays, rivers, at the mouth of rivers, or in the harbors of a nentral State, to exercise the rights of war from that station, are likewise mull, Tor ox- ¢Sapple, when @ Britieh privatecr mations PRICE TWO CENTS, herself in the river Missisisppi, in the neutral terri of eee the Sued fag to par pes the war from that point, a by obtaining information at PA ® ae ing ites which were descendi the river— en privateer, we repeat, & cap- ture at about three English mites from the islands of sand formed at the mouth of the Mississippi, Sir W. restitution of the cantnred ship.

If every act of hostility ayuinst a declared enemy within the territorial jurisdiction of a neutral State, which is on terms of friendship with the two parties, be disloyal—if captures effested belligerent cruisers within the bays of the neutral State, or ever by boats of ships witbout the territory, whilst the ships remain within it, are null and accord- ing to the laws of the United States, according to the decrees of the maritime tribunals of Great Bri- tain, the attack of a ship belonging to a frendly power ina Renee LO would merit to be still more severely stigmatized. The Sterling Claim on the Fishertes—Tho Engitsh vernment and the derald, [From the London News, August 22.) There is a tenacity of purpose about certain classes of Americans that is at times more than annoying— it has not unfrequently, in private life, been we to teaze men into the surrender of just rights. The question of the fisheries in the waters of the British provinces of North America is eminently calculated to give soos to the peculiar genius of such worthies, and accordingly it would be folly to look for am early final settlement of it. They will at least keep arguing it for years to come. But their latest device is really a little too groas and g) . subject will be laring. A semi-officisel manifesto on the found in another column, extracted from the Naw York Heraup for Europe of the 10th inst. It ia very imposing, in every sense of the word. It would Berea from this document that the American and British governments have all along been in error in assuming that it was competent to them to arrange this vexed question of the fisheries by negotiation. The fisheries, it a of the Gulf of St. Lawrence and the Bay of Fundy, and, in short, all the ccasts of the British American vinces, are not public but private aioe ' ‘they belong, we are told, to ap individ 10 is pl to assume the designation of Earl of Stirling, and who claims them in virtue of a grant from James YI. of Scotland, and Firat of tyre to Sir Wal- » liam Alexander, first Karl of SI whom he aftirms to be hisancestor. This is said to have transferred hisrights to an cam company, whick is about to fit out a fishing vessel to try the question. Jt the British authoritica interfere with this craft the American law courts are to be appealed to, an@ in the event of their deciding in favor of Lord Stir- ling and his company, the government at Washing- ton is to be called upon to support the decree ; and, according to the writer in the New York HeraLp large concessions on the part of Great Britain, exe war between the two countries, must be the result. It is not unbkely that this intimation of impe.oiog hostilities from the other side of the Atlantic will add materially to the anxiety with which ministers are watching the blackening cloud that hangs over the Euxine. It is not the first time that claims derived from the first Harl of Stirling have been attempted to be made the basis of a joint stock company. The pretensions of the former speculation were, however, modest in comparison with this, which proposes to set nations together by the ears. It was merely am Seamer to wrest from the colonists of Nova Scotix waste lands whieh it was proposed to confer on the red-handed baronets who derive t :eir title from that rovince; and ended in burning the fingers of certain ‘ighland magnates, who fancied that these lands on be made available as a bait to lure acroas the Atl a poor tenants whom they were bent vpom evicting. Thee is very little reason to apprehend that the soidisant Barl of Stirling will ever present himself to a Washington government, armed with a decree of au American court of law in his favour. In the first place, he will find some difficulty in making good his claim to inherit any patrimony that may have be- longed to the first Karl of Stirling. Heisone of a few claimants of peerages, and mavy claimants of the miror honor of baronetage, in “Scotland, who are allowed, without eny close inquiry, to assume titles because there are no estates claimed along with them, and because no one Hoe mach interest in preventing 4 man from calling himself what he pleases protests against the assumption. Again, it would not be easy eveu tor an undoubt- ed heir of Sir Witliam Alexander to make good a title to whole provinces of waste lands, seeing, im the first place, that that worthy never fulfilled the conditions of the grant; in the second place, that Canada was occupied by France before the grant wae made to him by the English king; in the third place, that Nova Scotia and New Bronswick were in the unchallenged possession of France for more thar acentury after his claim had bg ie for non-per- formance; in the fourth place, that he contrived to extract compensation from the French Court for agrecing not to trouble them with his representa- tions; and, lastly, that unless the titles of every land- owner in Nova Scotia and New Branswisk who does not derive from Sir William Alexander or his heirs are to be declared bad, the title of the whole public of these provinces to the exclusive right of ds on the coasts, ag recognized by the law of nations, unassailable. Any party in America disposed to take share in the Stirling Fishery Company will do well to wel these considerations beforehand. As to the screech- ing about war between England and America om such a plea, it is too ridiculous to deserve a moment’s consideration. It is, in the present threatening cir- cumstances of European politics, like the moping: and mowing of the clown in a tragedy of Shake- peare or Calderon beside the hero in whom is con- centrated the tragic interest of the piece—like the jesting of the fool in the face ef Lear's madness.
