another remark to what we have already said in re-

another remark to what we have already said in
lation to his conduct. The public understand him
and us perfectly well. The public mind is made up,
with respect TO his conduct. He has already been
tolerably well chasiised. We have no desire to
pour vinegar into tuose wounds under which the
Bishop so evidently smarts Rather would we adj
wise him. We would offer him some friendly hints
for the regulation of his conduct hereafter; tor, al
ter all, We have in us some of ''the milk Of human
Kindness" and would show even the poor Bishop,
that the vulgar theological proverb is quite
correct, and that the Devil is not half as black as
he is painted. Well, then, we would say to the
Bishop, hereafter reason more and revile less-ln
stead of taking up the low and vulgar weapons
of vituperatlon and calumny, use argument and
the words of ''truth and soberness''-instead OF
suffering the guidance of the dark passions of the
heart, recall your lessons of early piey-study mo-
desty, your duty to your God, to your flock, to
your fellow-man and to yoursef-gve up writing
for your little newspapers cast far from you the
petty ambition of demagogue. This is sound,
aiiectionate advice We hope il will be taken in
the spirit in which it is offered. Bishop Hughes
has time enough to reform. He is not too old to
reform. He is of middle age. He is not, we
trust, altogether beyond the reach of judicious
management. He can yet wipe out much of the
stigma affixed by his conduct in Carroll Hall. We
are quite prepared to pronounce dissolution for his
| errors, but he knows that il is the rule of the
church, that sinner must first repent-let Bishop
Hughes then repent, and we shall be the first to
say" Son, thy sins forgiven thee--go in
peace 20
We have now done with the Bishop. We have
only to bear one word of testimony to his veracity,
and one question to ask. The Bishop certainly
spoke the truth, the whole truth, and nothing but
the truth when he spoke of our circulation OF
twenty or thirty thousand. Now for the question
good Bishop where is the assassin-where is
the poignard Do tell us, what is his name?
LATER FROM HAYT1 The Pandora, Paxson,
from Jeremie, whence she sailed on the Goth inst
touched at Holmes Hole on the Doth
1t was reported by Captain Paxson that there
are now four parties in Hayt, each desperately
seeking the reins of government that the island
was in complete state of revolution; and that
fighting was the only business transacted
France had better step in and take Hayti for hui
manity's sake.

out of the bank, and which had been made deeper
by the children themselves, who, as am informed
were in the habit of digging 'little ovens and
" little apartments" at the foundation. Seven chi

beneath weight OF very many tons of earth VI
gorous men with spades were instantly al work,
and succeeded in rescuing alive the adopted daugh
ter of Mr.. Clevenger, ferry-mastcr, named Ida
Virgins, who is now able to speak, although hor
rlbly bruised and deprived of an eye. The Other

SUMNER HATS Now we have had taste of
the warm weather, it is time for to prepare for
more that is TO come. The most comfortable
thing a can during the hot season is
light hat and however we may object TO light
headed people, there can be objection whatever
to light covering tor the head.
The best description of this article that we have
met with, is at Genin's, 2l4 Broadway. He has a
most beautiful article, OF the gossamer description,
weighing from II or. to 81 o., the latter being
full lighter than the finest Leghorn, and are
quite free from the objection to which the latter
and Panamas, &c. are liable, being unaffected by
storms, and retaining their shape equal to beavers
and perspratlon and hair Gil strike through
and soil them. Those who are DESTROYS of COM
Portable light hat, will not omit to call. We have
tried, and can recommend them.

not so.

| GREAT FooT RACE OVER THE BEACON COURSE
The names of the candidates for purse of $500 to
come of on Monday next, is before the pub

ground to witness it. The Major is still the favor
lte IN the sporting circles against any other; but
the field has the call Such sport is expected
never before witnessed in this country. L is to be
hoped that more than one steamboat will be en-
gagged at each of the Hoboken slips on this occa-
sion, particularly at the foot of Barclay street 1t
very annoying to have to wait some half hour for
the return of boat, and then to be squeezed by
bOa-fu OF people, AMID vehicles and cattle OF
every description, is frequently the case when
