oiosihs the secret history OF Moses Y. Beach's n
nancial operations at Allentown last December
II embraces the affidavit of Samuel Marx, of AL
iehtown, taken on the 18th OF December, which
gives history s,rpassing any development we
nave ever yet seen in financial affairs BY this evi-
oence 1t appears that large amounts of the Plain
neid Bank notes and of the Malone Bank, were
poth used In the attempt to start the Lehigh Bank,
but the Commissioners refused to approve the
method OF thus starting new bank.
We shall endeavor to find room tomorrow for
the exposition II is the richest thing we have seen
IN many day. BY this statement it appears that
there was In Allentown batch of $S2, $40 in Plain
held Bank notes offered as money to pay for stock
ot the Lehigh Bank in the latter end OF December,
besides check OF $35 900 on the same bank. We
think it is full time for the Legislature of New
Jersey to examine the affairs of the Plainfield
Bank.
BISHOP ORp.RDoNK AGAIN I'VE understand
that preparations are making to get up another pre-
sentiment against Bishop Onderdonk, and to try
him on number of fresh charges, similar to those
on which he was lately convicted. This move
ment has been originated, we believe, in conse-
quence Of the position assumed by the I" Standing
Committee" of the Diocese, who MAINTAIN that, al
though the Bishop cannot any longer lay hands on
heads-we didn't mean bosoms-he is still in
state Of suspended animation-tbat his place can
not be supplied for the present, and that they are
sort Of locum tencns, and have all the privileges in.
cidental to the Office Of Bishop of this Diocese
They do not mention, however, whether they
have all the privileges that the Bishop was in the
habit of taking. Ia opposition to this position, and
In order to get rid of the Bishop atYonce his ene
mics are now brooding over the necessity of get
ting up another presentment against him. he in
tmation of this, and general allusiop to the spe-
clfications, is given in another pamphlet, by the
Rev. Mr. Richmond, which is quite a curiosity,
almost equal to the first one in wildness, enthu-
siasm, and episcopal romance. We do not know
how far pecuniary speculation enters into this new
movement; but as the Appletons are said to have
cleared at the first brush over $40 900 by the late
trial, the greatest portion of whose profits thus
went into their pockets, instead of falling into the
hands OF the church, it is not all unlikely that the
desire to clear another $4,000 or $1,000, may
have something to do with the movement for an
other trial. Success to enterprise
LIcENTIousNEss OF THE PREss-John Tyler, Jr.,
the son of the President, through the Madisonian,
pronounces story, which was first published in
the Ne,c York Sun, and probably written by its
principal penny-a-liner, M M. Noah-about the
President having saved $500, 900 out of his salary
to be base and infamous falsehood in all ite
bearings. This is specimen of the licentiousness
of the press. Another is presented in the story JUS
circulated by Blair IL Rives, of the Washington
Globe, to the effecthat Mr.. Webster had been pur-
chased and retained by the manufacturers OF
Boston, with fee of 100000 to plead their cause
in the United States Senate. We have no doubt
this is another base and malignant lie, and perfect
y characteristic Of the partzan press of both par
| ties.
Itwould, indeed, seem that the party newspaper
press, during the last political campaign had been
so sunk in depravity and icentiousness, fcly and
absurdiy, forgery and fraud, and every thing that
is vile, that it is now almost impossible for it ever
to recover any decent regard for TRUTH consistency
or hberaty. Look for instance, at the gross and
outrageous assaults upon the private character OF
poor Mr.. Willis by the Courier and Enqwtrer

there to be no end to this gross lcentiousness OF

ANXIETY FOR THE MIssrNa SHIps.-No tidines OF
the United States and England having been re.
ceived by the Roscius, the alarm for their safety
has become very much increased. The former has
now been eighty-three days out, and the England
but one week less.
1t was hoped that by the 18th ult., the last date
from England, some intelligence of them would
be received-that they ywould have been enabled to
reach some port on the English, Irish or French

dreadful gale of the 1lth and 18th of December
No intelligence Of this nature having reached US,
and particulars of the wide and terrible extent Of
that gale having poured into England down to the
| 12!h ult., many Of those who before had a hope
have ceased 10 cling to it, and now give them up as
| lost-forever.
There Is yet hope, however, and we really be.
lieve that the Hbernia, due at Boston this week
will bring us accounts of the long and anxiousy
looked for packets. If the steamer does not dis
sipate the gloom that now hangs over the friends
of those on board, we shall be constrained to be.
ieve that they are lost.
| The gale that has undoubtedly disabled them,
was SO severe and so widespread, as to swallow
| up many ships now on the missing list. The new
packet ship John R. Skiddy passed through it, and
Captain Skiddy writes that he never experienced a
more terrible hurricane. 1t blew with tremendous
violence, and ceased all at once. nearly engulfng
his ship. His cabins were filled with water, and
his passengers barely escaped being drowned.
The packet ships Toronto and Baltimore, went
through the same gale, and the former was strip
ped of spars, railing, &c. &c.
That hurricane has probably destroyed property
to the value of or two millions of dollars The

were alone worth $7OO,OOO.
