A SUSPENDED Brsuor.LAt a diocesan convention held
at New York the first week in October, the only business

of importance was the question
derdonk should receive his salary, notwithstanding his
being suspended from office on the ground of immorality
and impurity. After a most tumultuous debate, the reso-
lution directing the treasurer to pay him over the sum of
2.500 dollars annually, out of the episcopa! funds, was
carried by 169 ayes against 76 nays.

SPAIN.—The Madrid papers at' the 18th mention that
thirty-one ladies of high rank were to receive the decora-
tion of Maria Louisa, as a remernbrancer of the Royal
marriages. On the 17th the theatre of Cruz was honoured
with the visit of the Queen and her august Consort. The
Timpo charges the government with employing unlawful
means among the electors of Cordova, with, the view of
preventing the return of Senor Pacheco, the opposition
leader. The authorities of Toledo are accused of similar
atrocities.

TAIIITI.—A memorial, signed by the magistrates, the
established and dissenting ministers, and persons of every
religious persuasion, as well as men of political parties in
Beverley, has been sent to John Towneley' Esq., M.P.,
to be presented to Viscount Palmerston, her Majesty's
principal Secretary of State for Foreign Affairs, requesting
his lordship to use his influence, in a friendly remon-
strance with the government of France, on behalf of the
exiled inhabitants of the island of Tahiti ; and also re-
questing the French government to allow the poor people
to retire, along with their Queen, to another island.
Such reasonable requests cannot surely be refused.
CRACOW.—The Cracow Gazette of the 17th publishes
a long account of the formal taking possession of Cracow
by Austria on the preceding day. A salute of 21 guns was
fired, there was a service at the cathedral, and all possible
demonstrations were made by the Austrian authorities.
The public buildings were illuminated, but the feeling
shown by the people was that of deep melancholy. The
new arrangement is condemned unanimously by all the
French papers ; some from a real regard to Poland, and
others for the sake of embarrassing the ministry. It is
becoming the general belief that a storm is rising against
M. Guizot, which he will not be able to withstand. Al-
ready some of the papers have been obliging enough to
name his successor—M. Mole.
Ten years ago the province of South Australia was
tenanted only by kangaroos and a few straggling natives,
physically and mentally the lowest of the human race.
It is at present the scene of the enterprise and energy of
more than eighteen thousand individuals of English race ;
:las an active and extending mining industry, a great
breadth of land under cultivation. and a greater covered
with flocks. It imported in 1842 from this country to
the value of some £32,000, and exported in the same year
to Great Britain to the value of £23,000, to Van Diemen's
Land, t the value of £B,OOO. And South Australia, we
learn from the Governor's financial statement of 30th
June last, is in this, the tenth year of its existence, a self-
supporting colony. The revenue for 1846 is estimated at
£42,970 ; the expenditure at £32,677.

RIOT AT BOULOGNE-SUR-MER.—On Wednesday after-
noon, Boulogne was the scene of complete commotion,
occasioned by a shipment of cows and potatoes for Eng-
land. The mob would not allow them to be embarked,
and a severe conflict took place between them and the po-
lice, during which the sous prefet, en grand tenue, the
mayor and authorities, arrived ; they were received with a
volley of stones and potatoes, several of which feli heavily
upon some of the great men in office. The sous prefet
had his order torn from his breast and was nearly killed.
During the time the authorities were seeing the potatoes
put on bcard the Britannia steamer, a ludicrous farce took
place ; some boys and women cut the ropes to which
twenty-five cows were attached ; the beasts being set at
liberty, some were driven into the water, and others
hooted and pelted about the town, to the terror of the in- .
habitants. The mob, about seven in the evening, paraded
the streets, singing the Marseillaise, and when they ar-
rived in the Rue de l'Eau, opposite the mayor's house,
they began breaking his windows. The magistrate ran
out of his house, sword in hand, and if the national guard
(horse) had not suddenly come up, the worthy mayor
would hive been severely handled. Mr. Adam, the mayor,
has received several anonymous letters, stating that un-
less he prevents the exportation potatoes he must suffer
the consequence. If a stop is not put to the exportation,
it is feared serious, and, perhaps, fatal consequences will
arise. The town is at present quiet, and several of the
ringleaders have been arrested.
THE JEWS IN POLAND.—WARSAW, Nov. 6.—Since
the Ist of October, the memorable day on which the Jews
in the kingdom, by laying aside their national costume,
made the first step towards civilisation, has afforded us
many comical scenes through the uncomfortable position
in which the Jews have been placed by it. From all the
great cities of the kingdom respectable looking Jews ar-
rived in all the splendour of their most costly silk pelisses
trimmed with sable, with their beards and ringlets in the
best order to obtain a delay at least for some years ; but
they had come to meet their ill fate, for they were here de-
prived of their silk pelisses, their beards, and-their locks
by some barbers, who had received the orders of the po-
lice, and the poor disgraced Jews stole clandestinely out
of the citi. A. few days ago a similar event took place,
which excited no little sensation, in the remotest part of
the country, where " Chapictism" exercises its powerful
influence on the demoralization of the Jews. A company,
consisting of 80 men, with their Rabbi at their head, ar-
rived at the gates of our city, in order to obtain from the
Prince-Governor permission to retain their old costume.
That so strange a company, which might be distinguished
at a distance by their strange gesticulations, was not per.
mitted to enter the city without inquiry, may be conceived.
General A--, the chief of the police, being informed of
the strange party before the city, ordered that they should
be immediately put under a good escort to the police of-
fice ; and there, that without speaking a word to them,
their beards and locks should be cut off, and their pelisses
slit up behind. In half an hour the poor people felt the
cold air on their bald unprotected faces, and when they
recovered from their consternation, they found themselves
again at the
gates of Warsaw, whither they had been con-
veyed. They bad now no further desire than to be allowed
to take the clippings of their beards home, that they might
bury them in their cemetery. These, however, were dis-
persed to all points of the compass, and the travellers had
now nothing more to do in Warsaw than to satisfy the
barber's apprentices who came for their pay.
