BIsHor ONDERDosK AeAN.-We perceive that
the Episcopal church papers have again taken up
the case of Bishop Onderdonk, and are fighting the
subject over again. This, we suppose, is prepara-
tory to the meeting of the diocesan convention in
September next.
We suppose that all the old aMmosities will be
revived, all the old opened, and that shall
have another exciting discussion as to whether the
allowance for the Bishops support shall be con-
tlnued or not At the last diocesan convention,
the allowance was acceded to by the opponents of
The Bishop, because it expected the Council of
Bishops, which was then soon to meet, would take
the anomalous position of the diocese of New York
into consideration, and relieve it from the perpex-
ing predicament in which their sentence placed it.
II was understood, at the time that the Bishop Pc
titioned them for restoration, but that the only
answer which he received was in the form of
a resolution giving him leave to withdraw his APP
plication, which, of course, was equivalent to
complete denial of what the petitioner asked for.
Under these circumstances, therefore, his oppo-
nents, lay and CLERICAL will not consent to another
appropriation An indication of the bitter hostility
which exists towards him in certain quarters may
be gathered from the conditions which are imposed
on him. They are first confession of the truth
Of the charges made against him, and on which he
was tried, and an acknowledgment of the particu-
lar offences which il is alleged he committed Sc
condly: asking pardon of those whom he may have
outraged, severally and collectively and thereby
give satisfactory proof of reformation.
Of course, then, If those conditions should be
insisted upon by all of the Bishops opponents there
will be no compromise, and the probabilityis, like
wise, that the allowance for his support and main
tenance will not be made without great opposition.
We may look, we think, for another exciting strug-
gle in the convention next September.
CHOLERA REMEDIEs.-It is really too bad that
the lives Of our people will be tred with, by per-
sons publishing " infabe specifics" remedies
that never known to fail" :" lotions of ines
Unable virtue," recipes from ASIA and ether
denominations for the cure of the Cholera. 1t Is
highly imprudent to do So What would produce
a certain effect on one PERSONS constitution
would make no impression on anOther's; and what
would be good IN some cases would be bad in others.
As an instance Of the bad effects OF publishing
cholera remedies, we give the following extract
from contemporary -
From the National Intelligencer
CHOLERA spECIFIC-MPoRTANr CORRECTION.
gentleman residing in Kentucky writes to us as
appeared in our columns
Dear Sir observe In the hteligencer Of June rs,

LaudaDum,

ihcture ginger. ~ ounce,

Mix all together. Dose a Tablespoonful for adult
his is good prcscript but 1t was q sad omis
sion not to mention IL all to be put into quart

drops OF lauduun, &e to dose
The correction is certainly important one.
Just imagine tablespoonful of the above tinc-
tuies, essences, &C., without the brandy. II would
certainly cure or kill, but more likely, we think,
TO DO the latter. Almost every man knows a ply
stefan in whom he has confidence, and who, at
some Time other, has treated him sufficiently to
know the effects which medicine produces on HIS
constitution. What use, therefore, In taking the
trash that is published, froE' dSy to day, in the
newspapers Let people consult their physicians,
and obtain from them what they would recon.
mend in of an attack Of the malady and
such prescription might be taken Immediately
after symptoms of cholera developed themselves,
and then the physician should be sent for immedi-
aiely. This is the best method that can be adopt
ed, and, If il Is pursued, We think there would be
less victims than we now hear of.
