The CASE OF Bishop ONDERDoNK.-The public
| excitement with respect to this case is increasing
every day. Not only in this city and throughout
this diocese, but in the surrounding cities, and
far, indeed, the intelligence has gone the ex-
citement is spreading with the greatest rapidity
and attaining the highest intensity. DIR. Coleman,
of Philadelphia, highly respectable and esteemed
clergyman of the Episcopal Church, came out
publicly last Sunday, in his pulpit, with protesta-
ton against the decision of the Court OF Bishops,
and declaration of his confidence in the inno-
cence of Bishop Onderdonk.
In this city and diocese the Bishops friends are
numerous, and determined to sustain him at all
hazards The "Standing Committee" of the do
cese had meeting yesterday, and elected the
Hon. Chief Justice Jones to fill the vacancy occa-
stoned by the death Of T. j.. Ogden, Esq. The
| committee now consist of the Rev. Drs. Berrian,
McVicker. Lyle, and Wainwright, Judge Jones,
Floyd Smith, Murray Hoffman. and Gulian c.
Verplanck, Esqs. The committee is known to be
decidedly and warmly in favor of the Bishop
Eminent jursts have declared that the finding and
sentence Of the Bishops were Illegal and al.ogeth-

and probably including the very able and elaborate

some of the papers The National InteLi gemcer,

Certainly one Of the most singular incidents
