Tho total rents atd collections of the churoh in 1852 were $1,829; now they are $2,922; next year he eatimates they will rise to $3,600. The house, though plain and old, isthe bred ae church ja t¢ city; in 1852, the first ith of bis miaistry, there were 197 persons it; mow they are filled to overflowing every Rabpath. This success is greatly owing to Mr. ‘Weatcote's great ficeity.

The Chicago Tribune con‘ains a long letter sign- ed “Aw Episcopalian,” written with aparently mach excitement, apd censuring with great asperity Bisb- op Whitehouse, ot the Iliinois diocese of the Epis copal Church, for continuing his residence in New York. ‘Or sixty-three Bishops,” says the writer, “he alone has refased, tor four years, t> throw him- self into the midst of his people and hia daty.”” The writer admits that the diocese did once give permission to Bishop Whitehouse to remvia tem- ratily in New York, but toe writer afficme that @ wasspared the denial of this permission ou; of kindpess, avd that many who were adveras to fanting it declined voting, because they believed he wouid yield to the general desire of nis peo- ple that he should come and live among them. At the next convention they required tae Bishop's re- aidence in Iiinoia by an overwhelming majority, o requirement which be refused to obey, on thegroand that nis children are “bora to certain bigh expec: tations,” and that he is ‘‘not well adapted to the resent woral and social condition ot the West.” writer alleges that the permission first given was in order that fands for erecting a cataedral at Chicago might be colected in New York. The fonda, £0 far as obtsioed, have been collected at Chicego, to which the Bisaop came for the purpose, declaring that he would not ask a man at the Bast for acent. Further allegations are also made in- volving the Bishop’s actaand motives. Toe wiitar alleges, in continuation, that the non-residence of the Bishop has been unfavorable to the interests of Jvbilee Cobege, causing the contributions to dimin- ish. He aleo charges ths Bishop with an arnt to artsy the laity of the Episcopal Charch in Iili- nois sgainst the clergy, in demanding that the Bish- op should continue to hold bis office, notwithstand- ing his log non-residence.

Before Hon, Judge Betts, JUNE 80,—Sentences.—Andrew Lindley, convicted of using a dangerous weapon to a superior officer on board ship, on the high seas, was sentenced to the mitigated nishment of thirty days’ imprisonment and « fine of 1, in consequence of his previous good character, and his having been already in prison some time. STATE PRISON. Henry Willams, convicied of counterfeiting, was sen- tenced to three years’ hard labor in the State prison, and to pay a fine of tiv NOTICE TO THE JURORS, ETC. ‘The Judge anid as this was the last day of the present term, he would make some remarks om the busi- ness of neat term, which was to commence om Tues- éay. The District Attorney will summon a jury for the disposition of criminal cases, in order to relieve those who are confined in jatl, as well as others who are out on bail. In consequence of the Fourth of July, it is always of course impossible to obtain the at- tendance of jurors and counrel either on the day before or after that sopiversary, as many persons Jeave the city. The criminal calendar would therefore not be called until mext Tuesday week, and the ju- rors who would be summoned will, if they {ail to attend, be fined the fuil penalty, without regard to their position. If the District Attorney is not ready to proceed with the trials, the Court would discharge the eccured, and if the defendant is not ready, he murt pe ee with necessary affidavits for » postponement. ‘be act of Copgress provices that witnesses in crim: cares must be placed face to face with the ascased; but there is a great personal inconvenience in confining Witnesses in the common jsil—and there ts no other place provided for them—there is no apartment set aside toc them, they are ahut up io the same cella as those alottea to forgers and murierers. There were on an average twenty witnesses for the United States in this Ointrict thus confined the whole year round; and if tne action o the court could but relivve one i al from such confinement, it shows that its interference is needed. ‘The court intended to make a general rule—an iaflexible rule—that when the pabiic prosecutor is not ready to proceed in the term in which the court sits, every wit- ess in conGrement must be discharged. There may be exceptions—cases of murder or treason—in which the court would grant furtner indulgence to the District Attorney; but in the ordinary cases of felonies and mis- demeanors which rum on tue calendar, the witnesses will be @ ed if the government are not ready, In case the def nt is not ready and asks for a postpoie- mett on affidavit, he mast waive the personal appear. ance of the witnesses for the prosecution at the trial, An to the civil business, the court would be opened on the first Tuesday of every month for the return of pro. cons.

It is not a ittle singular that while Secretary Marcy informs Governor Reeder that the President cannot per- mit bis official relations to Kaueas Territory to continue, owing to hia speculations in Indian Jands, Secretary Davis announces in a speech, in Vicksburg, that Reeder should have been removed the day after he was appolat- ed—that he had fallen on the side of the abolitionists, Here is quite a conflict of opinion assigned by members of the Cubinet for the removal of a Territorial Governor. The one attributes it to his being an abolitioniat, the other to his improper speculations, Why should there be this difference, when all the facts were equally known to all the parties? It will be ecollected that Secretary Davin and the Commis- sioner of Indian Affaire had an excited controversy about precisely similar speculations by several officers of the U. 8. Army. So high and angry was the quarrel that the Secretary demanded his adversary’s immodiate removal from office. Shouli he now admit that Gorer- nor Reeder had been removed in consequence of his speculations, a natural inquiry would be started why he ‘was singled out asa victim, and others, equally impli- cated, permitted to continue their speculations with im. punity. Inthe Pawnee City speculation at Fort Riley, Col. Montgomery, Major Ogden, Surgeoa Hammond ani Lieut. E. McK. Hudson, were equally interested with Governor Reeder, Judges Johnson and Elmore, ang Dis trict Attorney Isaacs, Their articles of agcrement o- association are bere to prove this fact, Then how can ‘the admiuia‘ration avoid visiting upon these army offi- cors the aame displeasure that the civil officers have in- curred? Is not sauce for the goose sauce for the gan. der? And does not justice to the army efficers require that some decided action should be had in the case of ‘those whose coaduct has been thus readered equivocal? Even the broad shield of Secretary Davis’s influence should not be permitted to protect them from the same just rule which has been applied to the civil officers, I have already alladed to Commander Ringgold and his gallant services ia the United States Navy. It will be recollected that the brig Porpoise, since supposed to be lost, was attached to the North Pacific Surveying aquad- ron under Commander Ringgold, at the time she rescued from Prates sboal five huadred and twenty Chisese, lett there to perish of starvation and madness. Com. mander R, not only saved the poor wretcbes from a ho: Heder!

It is understood here to-day that Commosore Forest haa been ordered to the commend of the Washington Navy Yard, vice Commodore Paulding, ordered to the commend of the Gulf squadron, This appointment will be highly gratifying to all interested.
