The venerable Bishop Griswold, of the Eastern
Diocese, died suddenly yesterday in this city. He
fell in the street, injured, and expired in few
moments afterwards. The Bishop was good man,
but not very learned or profound one. As Chris
tinn, however, he led a life worthy Of all imita-
ton.
Winter, with all its rigors, now environ. New
England. The city Of Boston is buried in snow, and
the whole aspect Of the place is as cherries as is
that of st. Pe,ersburgh in December.
The returns from the Congressional elections come
in somewhat slowly, but returns enough have been
ceved to let US know that out Of the six Districts
that held elections, only one, the fourth (Parmen-
ters) successful. New trials will be
had.
News from the Sandw ich Islands was received in
town yesterday, which state that the ship George, Of
New Bedford, whaler, had arrived at Honolulu,
with the loss Of her captain, mate, and seven men,
who had died Of the scurvy. The commander of 3
ship who could be so imprudent TO suffer the sour
Wy 10 get on board of his ship is entitled TO some pity,
and far more censure.
You have probably seen Governor Morton, OF this
State, called the collins Governor" As the term
may not be ineligible TO you, it may be as wei as
otherwise TO explain it. When the Legislature of
this State went into the election Of Governor, the
Wings supposed that they had majority Of the
voices and could elect John Davis. When the tug
Of war took place, they found that man named
Col ms, who represented the town of Eastman,
Democrat They had reckoned without their host.
Mr. Collins voted for Governor Morton, and decided
the election Hence it is that the present Chief Ma
glstrate Of Massachusetts is called the Collins Gov
crnor.
The course that the Hon. MIR Winthrop represen-
ative in Congress from Boston, adopted in reference
to the Exchequer Bill and Fillmore's negative reso-
luons and the he recorded at the time Of their
presentation for decision, receives the unqualified APP
probation Of large majority Of his constituents. Mr..
Winthrop need not indulge any anxious feelings in
reference to that mntter lie !. abused and raduced
to be sure by few Of the ultra and rabid Of the Clay
Coon Wings. There but few Of that class of Sc
mi-barbarians to be found owa-dsys, however; and
the few are not capable Of raising note louder than
that OF a penny-whistle.
The Old Coon, the FarGer Of Ashland the knight Of
the order OF the Virgin IIeifer-Harry Of the West
has been abandoned by the Wings of the North !;
and they thank God that they have go, rid of the
Prince of Political Blscklcgs.
The friends Of the Administration, am told, are
making rapid movements toward organization and
will soon present bold and commanding front
To effect all the objects Of PATRIOTISM and Of the
PARTY, the hand of "Reform" will be essentially
useful in Boston shall leave this place fJr New
York tomorrow.
notice that am asssiled and abused in the New
York Express Of Tuesday because advised you Of the
self announced fact that paper had been pleased to
adopt the penny plan Of publication. did not sup
pose that was committing objectionable sin, by
repeating what the Express had itself announced
The editor Of that paper says he knows me knows
how much | am paid day, and calls lying

Allow me to tell that individual that he does not
know me- and never know me and for the rca-
son that / never consent to recognise black

voluntarily, and without reward.
One word IL il be the wish Of the editor
Of the New York Express to provoke hi, annihiaton,
he has only TO proceed in his nsoence and abuse Of
the Administration and its friends, and pledge my
honor the work shall be done
Yours, truly
