Onderdonk's will come up before it, and ter
rlble struggle between the two parties may be ex-
pected Various rumors have reached us relative
to the preparations for the contest in progress
amongst the opponents of the Bishop. 1t is stated
that several cIergymen in the city known to BE-
friendly to Bishop Onderdonk have been deprived
OF the annual stipend hitherto enjoyed by them our
OF the Trinity church funds, and that the money
thus distracted from them has been bestowed on
others for the purpose OF securing their aid against
the bishop The whole Of this strange business

made the subject Of rigid scrutiny Altogether this
Convention will be the most interesting which has
