~ Rev. jonathan NJ. Wainwright
of this city, by the steamer OF the last
OF February, received from The Arch
bishop of Canterbury, the proceedings
OF the Society for The Propagation OF
the Gospel, al which resolutions were
passed inviting the House Of Bishops Of
the United Suites, TO dcputc represen-
ta,ives OF their body To attend and take
part in the concluding services of the
celebration of the Socie,y's Jubilee
Year, which viii end Oh the 18Th Of
June next. His Grace, IN transmitting
those resolutions. inlimates that il is the
wish of The Society that it may be per-
miited 10 bear the expenses oi the dele
CATION. -r..u...
Upon the receipt Of the communica-
ton, DR.. Wainwright conferred with
Bishop Chase, Of New-fIampshire, and
Bishop Whilehouse the only Bishop in
the City OF New-York at the time, as TO
what course it was proper for him to
pursue. At their instance, and by their
advice, he proceeded 10 Hartford, to
consult Bishop Brownell, the Senior
Bishop east Of the mountains, who
thought that an informal call of the
House OF Bishops was necessary, or at
least expedienr. As however there was
no canonical provision for making such
a call, DR.. Wainwright: forwards 10 each
Bishop copy Of the invitation, with the
request that if the measure accords with
his judgment, he will sign il at his
earliest convenience, and return il to the
Secretary; who, upon the receipt Of
sufficient number to indicate the wishes
ftfe Bishops, will immediately forward
them to The Senior Bishop for his action
IN the premises.-M Y. Times.
LIFE is SwrEr.-A female, under the
escort Of Two gentlemen. vas taken on
board the steamer Hamburg, yesterday
--state-rooms for the three were engng
ed, and all the preliminaries arranged
for trip to ST. Louis. The lady was
'aken into the cabin, and the TWO gentle
men went ashore. In the course of an
hour or so, she began to sigh. From
sighs she wore into those spasmodic in
cipients which mark the approach Of
Mysteries, and seemed to Struggle to
avert that most unpleasant crisis. and
finally got up, put Oh her bonnet and
shawl, started ashore, and stopped still
upon the gangway plank, looking down
into the water. A deck hand approach
ed with barrel
"Out OF the way there, madam" said
he.
GLOW dee is the water here SIR she
cIqnrtd.
Not morc'n knee deep"
II won't do" said she with n sigh,
which she exhausted upon the weather
brown face Of the deck hand and the
barrel. "lt won't do"
"Why ?" asked the deck hand.
81 want to drown myself. Pm perse-
cu,ed."
''Oh - exclaimed the deck hand
Go to the starn. Ten feet and risln."
Sure enough she passed around the
barrel. walked ashore, and plunged into
the water at the stern OF the boat,
ecreechlng "he!p" simultaneously with
the splash. The deck hand lett the bar
rel TO its fate, and rescued the woman.

Mr.. EDITOR:-HaVing heard consider
able respecting the above named road, We
have become somewhat interested re :
speeding the route which it is to take
from the Naugaluek Valley westward -
We have until recently said or done but
little for or against either Of the propos ed
routes, neither have we voted large sums
for its surveys, or voted the right of way
through our town. But if the engineers
will meet us in the northeast part of Wood
bury, near the Nonnewaug Valley, we will
show them a route through our village to
Bantam Falls, which will be straiter and
of easier grades than either OF the other
proposed routes, aud one that will get the
business Of both Woodbury. and Litchfield'
and towns adjoining. From our village to
Bantam Falls, grade 1--WE thinkl of less
than fifteen feet to the mile, can be had
with very little trouble, and nearly a
straight line. From Bantam Falls west>
ward, the route 1--WE believel has been
surveyed and found perfectly feasible
The above route, it is believed, is the short
est and most direct Of any that has been
proposed BETHLEMs
