warning was not without effect. II alarmed, it
excited the American people to arise in all the
might of free and independent men, and nip in
the very bud the poisonous growth, whose seeds
had been sown by the hands of this Right Rev
Bishop Hughes.
But we must pause. We have now disposed Of
all the portions Of the letter which call notice,
except that which reiersto the Carroll Hall move
ment That we shall despatch tomorrow.
MAcREApY IN A New CHARAcTER We under
stand that MIR. Macready, who has been represent
ing the principal Shakspearian characters TO ad-
mirlng audiences for the last fortnight, will proba
bly, appear in new and original character on Sa-
;urday afternoon next, at O'Clock, before Judge
Kent, in the Circuit Court. II seems that Mr.. Ma
cready's evidence in the suit brought by James
Gordon Bennett against Chevalier Wikof is Of
some importance, and process of law has been Is
sued, requiring the attendance of the great TRACE
dian at the time and place specified above, TO give
his evidence de bene esse, IN ar tclpatlon OF that
case, as it is probable that Mr. Macready wi soon
leave the country, at all events, be out OF the
neighborhood, when the trial comes
1t will be recollected by those who read the art
Giles relative to Chevalier Wikof in this paper
that that distinguished man-mllliner charged the
editor Of this paper with having an intention and
indicating desire to levy "black mail" upon Mr..
Macready, and that not succeeding, that he wished
to squeeze dinner out of Mr. Macready, but not
succeeding even in that, for it seems according TO
all accounts that MIR. Macready did not give him
the dinner; and, of course, he lost his dinner
that day, unless he got 1t at Longs Hotel, the
immortal "waiters " being in attendance. Well,
in all these important points Mr.. Macready will
be called on to testify and explain how he became
acquainted with the chevaier-what the chevalier
said to him-and the interview he had with Mr..
Bennett, with all that passed these occasions
together with every thing in relation to "black
mail " operations. This evidence will be Of some
interest in the literary, philosophical fashionable
and theatrical world, and particularly to the " wal
tiers at Longs Hotel,'' for we believe that the
very occasion in question, two of those identical
waters showed MIR. Macready to our parlor
Such is the interesting and uovel characterized
of witness in this immortal suit of black mail
in which Mr. Macready will appear precisely at 2
o'clock, post meridian, on Saturday next, the 18th
instant, before Judge Kent, and in presence of the
counsel OF the respective parties. ut WILL on the
whole, be unique and interesting scene, comb
ming great deal OF melo-dramatic effect, and pre-
senti0g an exhibition Of degree OF talent origin
aty, and genius, equal to any scene in Shakespeare
plays
OLE BULLS MOvEMENTs.-We understand, from
Boston, that Ole Bull intends returning to this city
in the course Of eight ten days, after he shall
have given two additional concerts in Boston, and
visited some OF the adjacent towns. The exraor-
binary enthusiasm with which he has been received
in Boston. will probably yield many thousands OF
dollars to this wonderful artist. On his return to
this city he proposes to give concert at the Taber
nacle, on which occasion he will probably play
some original pieces, the idea of which may have
been suggested by the Falls of Niagara, or the
beautiful CrotonF ountain in the Park We also
learn that he Phys at the great benef, to be given
to MIR. Simpson, at the Park, on the 9Th of June,
when all the great artists in tragedy, comedy, and
the musical drama will appear. 1t is also said that
he will play at the complimentary concert to Mr.
Wallace, who is preparing to return to Europe in
few weeks. After Ole Bull shall have finished all
these operations, he will probably proceed up the
North River to Albany, Montreal and Quebec; re-
turning by the way of Niagara, Buffalo, Rochester,,
and l. tica spending few weeks at Saratoga, in
the height OF the season. This wonderful genius
will be the rage all this summer. Nothing can
equal him-nothing can come up to him.
BISHOP HAWKES. perceive by our exchange
papers from the West, that the Rev. DR.. Hawkes.
recently Rector of st. Thomas Church in this city,
has been chosen Bishop of the Diocese of Missis
spp. more erudite, talented, eloquent and pious-
minded man than Bishop Hawkes. does not exist in
any of the Churches. In all respects he is fitted to
adorn the high ecclesiastical station to which he
has been elevated. During his residence in this
city he won the respect, admiration and love of all
who knew him, especially of the Episcopal Church.
But IN consequence Of his superior erudition, eo-
quence and accomplishments, he excited the envy,
Jealousy, ana hatred of some of his clerical breth
rem, who combined against him as blockheads
generally do against their superiors. We are happy
however, to perceive that he is justly appreciated
in the west
Our Posr OFFICE AGAIN We have one of the
drollest concerns for Post Office that any coun-
try ever blessed with. Its mail arrangements
are of the most promiscuous character. There are
one or two mails from Orleans now due that have
been laying in Baltimore no one can tell for how
many days. We are sure that neither the Post.
master General nor ourselves can tell with any
certainty.
The PENrIoosT. To-day and tomorrow will be
great days with the Jews throughout the world, be-
ing the 3l56th anniversary of their reception of the
law. The synagogues on those occasions, are
adorned with the choicest flowers, emblematic of
the appearance Of Jerusalem in days Of yore The
Rev. Mr.. Isaacs will deliver an English discourse
descriptive of the festival, this evening at O'Clock
at his synagogue in Elm street.
