VAN AMBuRCH's MESAGEElE. Our readers
will be gratfcd TO learn that this celebrated
establishment, which has been universally pro-
G0unced, by tie press of Great Britain and
the United States, the best geological collec-
ton in existence, is to be exhibited in New
port on the 5,h ard 9th of June. The repu-
tation ofthis Company is so generally known
that very little need be said OF its claims to the
patronage of the public. We learn, however,
that Mr.. Van Amburgh, bys recent visit TO
Europe has been enabled to make extensive
and valuable additions to his exhibition and
that all the animals are in unusually fine con-
diton the present season. The travelling
equipage Of this Company IL Of the most gor.

! BIsHop CNDERDoNK In ii Protestant
ZIP scopal Convention, (now i'll session at
, Phlladclphia) Rev. DR.. Coleman, on Thurs
day, il accordance with previous intmation,
submitted the following resolutions, which he
hoped would be passed without debate, or if
not agreeable to the convention, that they
should be voted down without elicling any
discussion
/ Resolved, That the removal by the House
of Bishops of tie disabilities imposed by that
body Oh the Right Rev. Henry w. Onder-
donk, d. d., would give great satisfaction to
the individuals both clerical and lay, compos-
ing this convention, and also it is believed to
many others, as well as the church generally,
as in the diocese once under his jurisdiction.
\ Resolved, That while such removal would
cheer the declining years Of 4 venerable and
!, distinguished servant Of the Church, it would
secure to his many admirable productions their
just estimation by posterity and be in accord
ance with the charity SO elegantly portrayed
in the teaching, and SO consistently exemplfed
in the conduct Of the great Apostle of the
Gentles.
Mr. Coleman enforced the propriety of the
passage of these resolutions with an eloquen,
and feeling tribute to the exemIla larry conduct
Of the late head Of the Church during the pas,
five years. He declared that such measure
would give the liveliest satisfaction to every
portion of the Church, and would be in COM
! oliance with The injunction so to minister dis
ciplne as not to forget mercy. The House OF
Bishors, he continued will not act without
some moyemen; by this convention, and in
view of the uncertainty Of life, he rrgcd their
adoption at the proper time, so that the grey
hairs OF the late Bishop should not be brous h,
down with sorlow to the grave.
A solemn silence prevailed the Convention
to the conclusion Of the Rev. Mr.. Coleman
remarks, many of them being Toyed to tears
7 The resolutions wero received and passed y q
rice roc. vote, there being only two or thre'
!, negative votes.

6y.The late terrible calamity on the North
River, and the fearful destruction Of hcnan
life, adds another instance Of the danger Of
travelling in the night, especially upon rivers
like the Hudson, which is so much frequented
by all kinds and classes of steamers as well
as ~. 'ssels.
Tnlrr must be the grossest negligence some
where, III ,he present case frcm the facts al
ready known, it appea-T that the pilot of the
steamer avoided the schooner as much as he
could. and then endeavored to prevent the CO.
ssion by hailing those on board, or the man
at the helm,-but it was all to no avail. We
are the more and more convinced that IN or
der to preven, these horrible accidents, it will
be necessary to pass the most stringent laws
in regard to steamboats, and sail vessels, com
pelling them to carry a certain number Of bril-
liant lights, of different colors, and also to
adopt other precautionary measures. And
when an accident, like the present, occurs,
the most culpable should be severely punished;
until this is done, we shall constantly have
these fearful catas,rophes, resulting in wick
cd loss of life.
