DEATH OF BISHOP ENGLAND.

We announce with unieigned regret the death OF
this eminent and distinguished preate. He breathed
his last about O'Clock yesterday morning, after
protraced and painful Illness in the seth year OF his
age He was native OF Ireland, and Tor the last y
years resided in this city-during which period he
presided over the Diocese comprising the States OF
North Carolina, South Carolina, and Georgia He
distinguished for strength OF mind, power OF ar
gument deep and various learning, and a bold and
impressive eloquence; and was justly ranked among
the intellectual and literary ornaments of our CITY,
As preatc, he conducted the civil and eccesiast-
cal affairs of his church Uhe Roman Caholic) with
consummate ability, and has left behind him many
monuments of religion and benevolence, the fruits OF
his successful administration and unwearled ZEAL
Devoted as he to the interests OF the Church to
which he owed his mitre, he was yet man of libe-
raj principles and feelings alive to the impulses OF
public spirit and to the influences OF universal cha
rity. During his long residence among us, his hlgh
and merited influence his flock was ever eXer-
cised for good, and his department was such as to
win for him the esteem and regard OF the commune
ty Although his native country was ever green
in his memory and dear to his heart, has allie
glance to his adopted country was recognized as
his highest duty, as well from inclination principle
He sympahized deeply with the free institutions
and the glorious destinies of the American Union,
valuing it as the home of his oppressed and eXlled
fellow -countrymen, and the chosen temple OF rational
liberty OF the South he was a true friend and an
able champion fearlessly throwing the weight of his
character, influence and intellect in favor of her
much misunderstood and much reved domestic m
stitutions, and indicating them both at home and
abroad In the death of thus eminent in his call
ing and useful in his generation, his Church has sls-
tanned loss which scarcely be repaired, and our
community owns the bereavement of gifted and
and valued citizen.
The funeral obseques of this lamented prelate will
be celebrated at the Cathedral of St Flnbar, at ~
O'Clock, A. NJ this morning; and the clergy OF all
denominations, the different societies of which he
was member his friends and acquaintance and the
citizens generally, invited to attend the solemn
ceremony, and pay the last sad tribute to d'parted
worth
The bell of ST. Michaels tolled yesterday, and the
shipping the harbor their colors at half mast
in honor of the deceased and farther testimony
of respect to his memory, the general review OF
troops, which was to have taken place tins day, IS
postponed by order of his His Excellency the Gov
ernor, until Tomorrow

manner any form Of attack the saving to the nation
will he immense for, should the undertaking prove
successful, of which there seems tc DO no doubt,
few millions expended in building vessels on this mo-
del would free Us from the necessity of erecting ma
nv fort, now contemplated and would place the lives
and property Of our citizens in state Of complete
security With sides impenetrable TO all missiles
which the genius of man has hitherto discovered,
and armed with immense guns, carrying the terrible
shell invented by this same gentleman more than
twenty wears since, and, after trial by Commodore
Decatur and other eminent officers, purchased by,
and now in possession of, Government, no hostile
fleet would dare approach shores with the know
ledge on their part that they would likely to en-
counter an engine Of war like this From expert
ments deemed, by joint board Of army and navy
officers assembled for the purpose, perfectly concu-
sive no ship or feet, however powerful, could with
stand her fire. Carrying such immense guns, she
could place herself in the distance out Of the reach
of her antagonist or, that falling she could range
along side and with the shell blow her out of water
in a few minutes These shells are certain in their
fire and can be handled with entire safety; whereas
the Paixhan shell, burning with fuze is uncertain
in exploding and if il does not burst at the moment
of contact which is mere accident, does no more
mischief than round shot OF the same calber.
For the protection OF our lake frontier, and har-
bors on and adjacent 10 the Gulf of Mexico war
steamers of this description must prove invaluable
A few such vessels operating IN the Gulf Of florida,
would give security 10 our Southern coast in thai
quarter now much exposed TO attacks from the West
India islands, while it woud keep open passage for
the trade of the Mississippi.
Our country must be placed in state Of defence,
and no co sideration justify further delay All
essary expenses should be retenched and rigid
economy every here exercised. But TO urge this
excuse for Withholding appropriations required Ivy
the wants OF the navy, is not likely, we believe, to
find much favor with The Representatives of an en-
Iighlened people. Money drawn from the people for
this object ENDS its way back into the pockets OF
the mechanic the manufacturer, the labor and the
falner, and is widely and equally dlfused over the
country
After a careful examination ofthe subject, and coz
sultng the most distinguished officers OF The navy, we
can confidently recommend this proposition TO the ia
vorable consideration of Congress. M. Stevens
stands high as a man OF practicable science; he has
had much experience in every branch OF steam and
naval architecture, and has but lately returned from
visit of observation in Europe.
Believing, therefore, that appropriation for this
object will accomplish much good and will save in
The end vast amount of expenditure the committee
report the accompanying bill.
