Bishop Onderdonk, another Bishop, under our mi
nlsratlon, is actually rising up We mean Bsho
Hughes, who has lifted himself up out OF the mire Q
politics, and is now busy in expounding and de
tending the doctrines OF his church, as will be see
by report of one of his lectures in this days paper
This is the right course and we are heartily re
joiced that, stimulated by our affectionate exhor
tatjons and the excellent example OF Dr. Pise, tha
Bishop Hughes has at last taken the proper course
This is the course that all the christian priesthood
should pursue. Instead of assailing each other
they should explain and vindicate their respective
dogmas, as the Bishop now attempts in this lee
ure. The mystery OF transubstantation surpasses
mans reason; SO do the mysteries of the incarna
tion-the atonement-the trinity, and various othel
doctrines held by Protestants as well as Catholics
all mysteries, and it is the proper work of the
clergy to ovindicae their claims the belief ofman
We repeat that we are glad to see the Bishop en-
gagged in this meritorious work. He is undoubted
ly improving under our minstrations, and we trus
he will continue to improve. We are sorry to per.
ceive, however, that in the Bishops organ-lhe
Freenlan's Jouvral-the singularly able and elo-
qaent efforts OF DR.. Pise and DR.. Ryder are not
noticed at all This is not right 1t looks like
jealousy or some want of brothery affection. Take
care, John Hughes of Basileopolis we are your
confessor; and if this be not amended, we --
STEAMER NEW HAvEN.-This favorite steamer
arrived yesterday at o'clock, P. M, having en-
countered ON her passage through the Sound one
of the severest storms of the season. She left Al
lens Point on Friday night, after the arrival OF the
cars from Boston, having on boaru large number
that came passengers in the steam ship Cambria,
who came as far as New London, when 1t was
considered unsafe TO proceed farther on account of
the severity Of the storm Here quite an exciting
and angry scene occurred-fears and apprehensons
were freely expressed as to the safety and sea
worthiness of the boat-her machinery criticised
the captain abused. Finally it was determined on
by part to 60 on shore, and proceed to New
York by the Long Island Railroad, where they
arrived safely seven hours after the New Haven.
Captain Van Pelt, the gentlemanly commander
of the New Haven, is deserving OF great credit
and the sincere thanks OF all on board, for the
civility and courtesy shown to all who conversed
with him in regard to the safety of the vessel, du
ring her perilous situation. He gave the most POSI-
tive assurance before starting, that he would not
proceed to hazard the lives of the passengers,
less he knew it to be perfectly SAFE
The New Haven brought the steamers mails
that arrived at Boston, Friday morning, about half
an hour previous to the leaving of the Long Island
train.
BosToN Posr OFrIcE.-The new Royal Mail
Steam Ship Cambria arrived at Boston Friday
morning about seven o'clock, and her mails were
received atthe post Office twenty minutes past nine.
She brought dispatches from the Secretary Of
Legation, $4,000 letters, and 125 bushels of news
papers, being the largest English mail ever re-
ceived, excepting by the Acadia in 1910.
This vast amount Of mail matter was assorted,
distributed, re-mailed and delivered in the incredi-
BILE short time Of three hours and half
Wonder if Col. Graham can beat this!
ITALIAN OpERA-LAsr NleHr-We believe that
every seat IN the Opera House, for last evening,
was engaged day before yesterday. At all events,
have yet attended there assembled last evening,
and were delighted listeners to the magnificent
Seniran,ide, which, SO far from wearying, has not
made a tthe of its surprising beauties familiar
with the charmed but unscientifc ears of the mil
lion who love music, and feel its delightful infuen-
ces-while, to amateurs, 1t Is sublime and mex
haustible source OF admiration and enthusiasm
The audience frequently testified their satisfaction
during the piece, and the Duet between the two
prime donne was encored and repeated in fine style
After the opera, Borghese and Pico were called
before the curtain, and received with the usua
marks of appreciation.
