A Novel Case.

The New York Observer of the 9th inst, gives
the particulars Of novel case which recently
came before civil tribunal of that State The
Observer says
The Rev. VIM F. Walker, a Presbyter in the
Episcopal church, had been accused of offences
which, if sustained by proof, would call Tor his de-
graduation from the ministry. lie had been regu-
larly tried according to the canons of his church,
and the charges had been sustained in the judg-
ment of those appointed to investigate them. APP
plication was made to the bishop for new trial.
This led to careful review of the whole proceed
inc bv the bishop, who decided that there was no
occasion for new trial land affirmed the judgment
already formed and he was about to pass sentence
mon the accused. degrading him from the minis
try. when his action was suddenly arrested by an
Injunction from the civil court, forbdding him to
proceed.
The Observer comments upon these facts, and
severely condemns the action of the court as I'M
iustifabe and if established as precedent, like
" to prove very injurious 10 the interests OF rel-
gion. Bishop WAINwRIGHT communicated the
facts TO the Episcopal Convention of New York,
on the 29th ult, and committee was appointed
to take the subject into consideration.
The case was argued before Judge EDMoNDs
few days ago, and he decided that the civil
courts have no power to review the proceedings Of
the ecclesiastical tribunals established by agree
ment between the parties themselves. The in
junction was therefore refused, and the bishop al
lowed to proceed and pronounce sentence.

1t is stated in the Charlottesville papers by au-
thority, that the limited number of cars on the
Central road will not admit of transporting more
than one hundred and fifty passengers day, and
persons intending to visit the Agricultural Fair
arc requested "to govern themselves accordingly"
If the advice were more definite it would be more
valuable; we suppose, however, "according y''
means that those who can get to the depots first
will stand the best chance. The advertisement
in to days paper will explain what is necessary to
secure transportationfof stock.
We would again suggest to all wishing to see
the sights at the Farthatb by calling at the Clerks
Office of N. G. KINNEY. Esq. they can get cer-
tificate OF membership of the Society for two dol
lars, emitting to free passage for the round trip

the October Court, will be convenient time fol
obtaining certificates of membership. We hope
to see Augusta we'll represented.

Rrne Soil Convention.

The Freesoiers held Convention in New
York week or two ago, and she zeal manifested
on the occasion and the influential men who at
tended or wrote letters approving of the object Of
the meeting. show that there is still in the coun-
try powerful party determined to continue the
agitation of the slavery question. e. F. ADAMS
and G.. NJ. Clay were prominent speakers-the
latter declared that he was ready for immediate
"war" JOAN p. HALE was particularly fierce
against slavery; he desired to externnate it eve
rywhere, and said Secretary GUTHRIE fought to
write circular to the despos, setting forth that,
unless they allow more equal division of rations
amongst their subjects, he will cause them to be
removed from their high places" For the pur-
pose Of excluding Shareholders from the territories
of the United States, Mr. HALE proposes that
foreign emigrants shall be invited to occupy the
boundess domain without any charge whatever.
This is the topic which should, in his opinion,
occupy the administration to the exclusion of its
present efforts to establish an uniform and ortho-
dox rule of political faith" The Convention de-
cllued making any nominations for the approach
inc election in New York, with the view, proba-
bly,, of throwing their strength in favor Of the
Soft shell Democracy.

PERUVIAN VIEW OF THE AFFAIR AT THE CHIN
CHA IsLANDs.-The following Is said to be cor
rect version Of this affair:
On the 10th of August certain seamen Of the
North American vessel Defiance, at anchor at the
Chincha Islands, killed one Of the birds which
produce the guano, AS that is severely prohibit
ed i'm the Islands, the commandant OF the Peruvl-
an sloop-of-war Libertad, captain of the navy,
Don Tgnacio Naviategu, who is governor OF the
Islands, ordered the seamen to be put fur twenty
four hours in the Barra, the place OF punishment
for sailors.
The captain of the Defiance, appeared, to de-
mand his seamen, and did so in discourfeous and
offensive terms. His claim being refused, he re-
turned. accompanied by several other captains. his
countrymen, and in an actual tumult wished to
compel Commandant Naviategui to deliver up the
seamen. The Commandant says, that he three
times used verbal instructions aud courteous MEANS
TO persuade the captains to retire, and to desist
from the outrage which they committed against
his authority. These means proving Intellectual,
he ordered the troops in his vessel to be prepared,
and to employ force to repel the captains. 1t Is
certain that one of them took bayonet from a sol
der. and then the others made use OF their arms,
so that several of the captains were wounded.
The Peruvian government as soon as they had
knowledge of the events, sent an officer to the Is
lands. to make the inquiries which the case de.
manded.
While this was passing, the Captain of the De-
faace left the Chincha Islands, with his vessel,
and. while departing. perhaps without any i'll
teaiion. fired a cannon; and, as that was anew
nfraction of the Regulations. the Peruvian au-
thority demanded the payment of the fine, in such
case fixed BY the Regulations. The captain OF
the Defiance said he would repeat the firing, and
paw double fine and it was necessary to employ
force to prevent him. The Captain was sent 10
Callao, prisoner, in his own vessel, to be tried
there.
All this has given occasion to an exchange of
notes between the Legation of the United States
and the PERUVIAN Minister for Foreign Affairs.
The Peruvian government are waiting Tor the
result of the investigation, to remove their officers
at Chincha, or to Judge the Captains implicated
in the affair.

An Independent Jaage.

A case connected with the execution of the tu-
gitive slave law. of considerable interest aud INF
portance, came before Judge GREER, of the Su-
prefne Courtaf the United Statss,at Philadelphia,
on the 9th inst. The Deputy Marshals had at
tempted to arrest Bill THoMAs,a alleged iugI4
tive slave, at Wilkesharre, Pennsylvania, when
the latter resisted and inthe end effected his es-
cape. Thereupon, a magistrate OF Wilkesoarre,
on the oath Of a man named GiLDERsLEvE, issu-
ed warrant Of arrest against the Marshal and
his two Deputies, charging them with assault and
battery and an attempt 10 kill, The warrant was
served upon the Deputies at Phlladelphia and the
| case came before Judge GREER on writ of habeas
corpus. DIP. BnowS, employed by the aboll-
tionisis, and a Mr.. JACKSON appeared for the
| Wilkesbarre authorities, and District Attorney
| AsHMEAp for the United States. After a full dis
cussioh, Judge GREER said -
"lf this man Gildersleve fails to make out the
facts set forth in the Warrant Of arrest, Will re-
quest the Prosecuting Attorney of Luzerne county

the United States warrant was issued has run a

beas corpuSes are to be taken out after that man
ner, will have an Indictment sent to the United
States Grand Jury against the person who applies

who defends it, and the sheriff who serves the

to be arrested and harassed whenever they attempt
to serve a process of the United States. speak
of what is daily done TO thwart the Cnited States
in the exercise other lawful authority. will see
that my officers are protected"
The question was then postponed till the 18th,
when Mr.. BnowN promised to be ready with his
proofs On that day, the Judge refused to allow
! Mr.. B. to come into Court as private prosecutor
and interfere with the officers of the Government
in the execution of their duties. 1t was shown
that the Marshals were acting by authority, and
and the case was further postponed till Saturday
last, to afford the Judge time to write out his de-
cision.
