Ihls Is all very wel-very gratifying ana very
chris,an-like. There is, to be sure, something in
the tone Of this scard" which sounds rather too
penitential perhaps, and does not, altogether give
assurance that all the people are quite satisfied
yet-stl it gives evidence of much more COM
Portable state of affairs than previously existed We
think our castgalion ofhe Bishop, for his conduct
in this matter, has done him good In fact, we
always believed that there was great deal of good
material in the Bishop and that all that was wanted
was to bring itout. This, it appears, we have done
to some purpose in the present case. We trust
that the Bishop may 60 on in improving and we
are not without hope that by-and-by we may be
able to shake hands with him, and greet him as we
would ST. Paul, in case he shonld come for
weeks sojourn in this world, in order to get lit
tie Of our fresh, balmy air,
A SCENE IN TEMPERANCE MRETINe.-Quite a
scene occurred in the Marshall Temperance Socie-
ty the other evening, in consequence of Mr. Ed
monds getting up and abusing, with good deal OF
fiery invective, some gentleman from Boston, who
had in his turn made vigorous attack on the keep
ers of the grog shops A great deal Of personality
and scurrlity was poured out, and the whole scene
was very discreditable to all parties concerned. We
are surprised that the Chairman permitted such
that the advocates of such an excellent cause as
this should dshonor it by such conduct Let there
be no more of this.
WHAT's THE MATTER WITH THE WATERS =
We have heard Of number OF accidents occurring
to walters at the fashionable hotels, who have gone
on pleasure excursions. The other day boat with
several of those gentlemen, connected with the
Hamilton House, were upset in the Bay, and mar
rowly escaped drowning. Another, who had gone
yachting, was driven out to Sandy Hook, and
had also narrow escape. Two of them-con-
nected with one of the hotels in this city, came
near fighting duel the other day. What's the
matter with the walters? The Chevaer Wikoff
is, we suspect, at the bottom of all this. Not con-
tented with defining his own position, he defined
also that Of all the walters sat Longs" and else
where, and so turned the poor fellows heads that
they are cutting up all sorts OF capers.
VERY LATE FROM HAyTI-We have received
from the gentlemanly Capt. Shepherd, Of the Gen.
Marion, arrived yesterday, the following letter re-
latve to the affairs iu Hayti:-
DEAR SIR
lett Port Republican on the 3lst of July, at
which time all was quiet, and business resumlng
it's usual features. The market was glutted with
American produce, and no demand; Coffee at the
same time selling for Sl3 81 to $l4 10, costing on
board 81 TO 81. 1t is thought by some that coffee
will now fall in price, there has been great de-
mand attery for the article, on account OF Euro
pean vessels having to leave prior TO the LIST Of
August, The late French Admiral Of this station
left Saturday the 9th for Martinique, on his re.
turn to France. Hisssuccessor will meet him there
l suppose you must have heard Of the celebrated
black chief, Acaou, having surrendered himself to
the authorities. What will be done with him IL
yet TO be seen; but as he has now been here six
teen days, think it very likely he will escape
the punishment due to his crimes. Certainly, II
any scoundrel ever merited death, he does, The
authorizes appear determined to give all a tail
chance to lay their complaints against him. II wat
proclaimed through the streets that all who had
suffered at his hands, or had other cause oil com.
plant, to appear before the Court, who were about
to try him. II is reported that the President should
have declared that whatever was the decision Of
the Court Martial, it should be carried into effects
but think there are others here 50 deeply impll-
Gated with him, that he Ia sure to escape. Then
again the Haytlans (bad as they are) have repug.
nance TO splitting blood. Strange as 1t may appear
to those who know their history, IL is So In proof
look at the revolutions that have occurred here
first revolution against Boyer was achieved with
loss OF not more than 300 men. Then this last re
| volution against Herard, and its concomitants
| This Acaou shed more blood than was lost in al
| parts of the island besides That there are many
ambitious spirits who would not hesitate to plunge
the country into the horrors Of civil war, if they
| could wade thereby into power, is not for a mo
ment doubted, but the general disposition of the
people is peaceable, and an aversion to shedding
| blood. remain your humble servant,
| PHILIP SHEPHBARD.
