0PJoHN NJ. Boris, elected to Congress
in Virginia by large majority, is n noble
man. The Tribune thus notices his course:
ale fought the annexation of Texas from
first to last with manfu ZenI, efficiency and
perseverance; he denounced the ubominable
War on Mexico from the outset, and is its un-
wavering adversary still; and when an at
tempt was made 10 ensnnrc and defeat him
by pledge TO support no man who favored
the WilmoI Proviso. he promptly answered,
in substance, ".ly way to avoid all trouble
concerning Slavery in our conquered territory
If to take no territory Of Mexico; and though
don't like the Wilmol proviso, pledge you
that shall vote for any Wing against any To-
co ioco candidate who may be nominated"
Such is the man who will represent the
Metropolitan District of Virginia in the LEX
Congress. Richmod, it will be seen, gave
him n heavier vote as well as larger MAORI
ty than she gave to Henry Clay; and in the
District his majority is more than double Mr.
Clay's And this after a face-to-iace can
vass, in which his adversary and the Rich
mond Enquirer had rung the changes Oh his
alleged anti-Southern votes and sentiments
deuouncing him as unsound aud dangerous.
May we not now deem il settled, with regard
to mean appeals to local interest or prejudice
that the lIbernian was right who uverred
! that "the best course to avoid danger is tc
meet it halfway"

Death of the Archbishop of York.

The last English newspapers bring the lnte-
gence Of the decease of one Of the two Arch
bishops of England, the Archbishop of York,
whose titles were, "ilis Grace the Hon. and
Most Rev. Edward Harcourt, Lord Archbishop
of York, Primate of England, and Lord High
AlInoner to the Queen" He died at his Palace
in Bishopthorpe, near York, at the very advsnc.
ed age OF 81. He was advanced to the episco.
pal bench in 1871, and in 1907 then bearing the
name of Edward Venabes Vermont was transla-
ted to the See of York, of which he become the
63d Archbishop. Upon inheriting the Harcourt
estates, he assumed the name Of Harcourt.--
The province of York, over which he relied as
Archbishop, was extensive and populous, and
great revenues and many important offices and
privileges were attached to 1t. The gross reye-
nuc was something like a million Of dollars,
and the presumed income of the archbishop was
probably SIX times as great in amount as the
salary OF the President of the United States.
The Archbishop of York, as Lord Spiritual" y
was member OF The Upper house Of Parliament.
He takes precedence next alter the Lord Chan.
celor, and enjoys the title of Prilnate of Eng
land and the office of Lord High Alhoner to
the Queen, besides possessing the patronage OF
three archdeaconares, two charcellorshlps, and
nonresident canonries and benefces innumera-
BILE.
The remains Of the Archbishop were removed
with great pomp, from the Palace TO Oxford
shire for interment. The funeral procession
from BIshop.horpe 10 York, where divine service
was performed IN the Minister, the great Calhe-
drai Of St Peter, was arranged in the following
order: Pages with wands; Plumes Mutes
Hearse, drawn by six horses; Mourning coaches
each drawn by four horses; His Grace's private
carrage; and then numerous carriages OF Bish
ops, Lords, &C., and upward of 100 clcrgymen
in their robes, with black silk scarts and gloves
a numerous body of the most respectable and
influential citizens, to the number of more thar
200. The streets OF York through which the
procession passed were lined win troops OF the
Dragon Guards The great bell of the Cathe
dral aud the bells Of the numerous Parish
churches were toed for two hours, minute guns
were fired from the vessels in the river, ant

lament from Oxford, Lord Granville Harcourt,
is the eldest.
The vacancy il the See Of York, we observe,
has already been filled, by the appointment of
the Bishop of Hereford, DR.. Thomas Musgrave
The appointment-mude by Lord John RUSSELL
Prime Minister OF England given offence
to the Pnseyite party Of the English church.
He has had ten years of Episcopal service hav-
ing been made Bishop Of Hereford in ls47.-
He is said to have no aristocratc connexions to
push him into Office, and TO owe his elevation
entirely to personal merit and fitness for the
highest ecclesiastical dignity. His appointment
seems to have awakened the old animosties of
the high churcbmen, he having evinced very
determined hostility to all the ingenious varle
Ties of doctrine and morality produced by the
Tractarian movement The Bshoprlc OF Here
lord is to be conferred upon Dr. Hampton, who
will be remembered by those who took an In
terest in the Tructaran controversy ten years
ago, as having been bitterly opposed by MIR.
Newman nd others, whose hearts we're in Rome,
where their heads and whole bodies have since
gone. The London Times is rabld upon the
subject of this appointment, and threatens Lord
John Russell with repetition of the clerical
hostility by which, in a former administration, he
was so much embarrassed. american IrdUeiier
