BrsHoP lvEs--The CASE of the abiu.
rant Bishop of the Diocese of North
Carolina continues to excite interest
in both hemispheres. On the Subject
of his alleged insanity, Judge Ives, of
Connecticut, his brother, man of
sound judgement and integrity writes
thus to the editor Of the "Church Re.
views"
"Sir: The statements WEIGH you have
read 70 me, and which you propose to
publish, Of q constitutional tendency
70 mentel'deFangement in my fathers
family, and also of certain facts in
proof Of such tendency, have no
hesitation in saying, are fully sustain
cd by my own personal knowledge;
nor have Iany doubts that the con-
ducts Of Bishop Ives. in his late de.
fection to Rome, must be attributed,
at least in part, to that same cause,
viz: q hereditary tendency to mental
derangement, aggravated by disease
and by every great excitement.
] am, very respectfully, your obcdi-
cnt servant.
EBENEZER II IVES"
The Bishop himself, however, writ
ing from Rome, under date of the 7th
March, to the Guardian, an English
Church paper, declares:
ut is not true(thaks be to Gods
good proyidence)that have ever, ex-
cept when under the immediate deliri-
um Of typhus fever, been deprived of
the use OF that measure of reason with
which God at first was pleased to en-
dow me. 1t is true, however, that
have had a brother deprived for time
of that blessing. But how far that
circumstance should be visited upon
me as a punishment for following the
demands ofn,y conscience, will leave
it with yourself to determine"
With regard to another charge
brought against the Bishop, that he re-
ceiyed a years salary in avanced, he
replies by admitting that he drew six
months, pay, but in his letter Of re-
signation intimated his readin css to
refund.

TArsatseeA seeessaen - the Southern New
soAssl Presby terrain Church.
An article recently published in tho Ts~th Legion,
OF Virginia says that in consequence Of the agitation
on the subject Of slavery, In tho last General Assem
bly, Of tho New School Presbyterian Church, which
met at Bualo number Of the ministers Of that per-
suasion, In the Synod Of Virginia, have signed the
following resolutions, and proposed them 70 the
other Southern SynOds for adoption:-
Resolved lThst the Preebyteriss In the saveheadng
States decline making any response the inquiries pro-
POI BY the late General Assembly.
2-Thst aid Prssbytsris b fully represented In the
next Assembly.
S-That said Presbyterss instruct their delegates to
the next in the event Of the subject Of savery
being introduced to propose resolutions expressing In the
strongest terms the opinion Of the Assembly, that all
further agitation Of the subject In that body is most
vile and improper, and should not be permitted And
should the Assembly refuse TO sanction such resolutions
that the delegates from said Preseytsre: 30 instructed
Immediately TO withdraw and unite with those from
other portions OF the church. opposed to the further ag
taton of this subject in the Assembly either in
organization in such other measures in their judg
ment will be most xpedient
The same paper says that some Of the Southern
members Of this church are in favor of immediate
secession, and that possibly, some will take that
course, but that the plan indicated in the above
resolutions seems generally preferred.

b with pleasure We are enabled to inform our
readers that the gallery Of paintings viii be ready in
Len than week for exhibition. Many Of the paint
inss which are to DO displayed here have not yet
been taken nom their cases. 90 that this department
when completed, viii form an entirely new feature
N the Palace. The ststuary viii be removed, We
understand from its present place in the main build
Ing 70 this gallery, by which considerable additional
space viii be added to the building.
Among the visiters to the exhibition on Saturday
last we observed Lord and Lady Ellesmere and Sir
Charles Lyell. They remained but short time in
the building, and their attention appeared to be de-
voted principally to the works Of art. There was no.
thing in their appearance which distinguished them
from the other visiters and that air Of haueur which
we consider inseparable from aristocratic rank,
could not be dscerned in their plain unassuming and
courteous manners This, we believe, was the first
visit which Lord Elesmsre has been able to make to
the exhibition since its Inauguration. he has been
confined to his bed by severe illness. He is still
weak, and incapable of much exertion but his desire
to see the building and its contents induced him to
leave his hotel sooner than he would have done un
der any other circumstances. We hope when he
next visits it the arrangements will be complete.
In the mineral department great curiosity, we
understand, is to be added in few days. There is
now lying at pier No. Is North river, monster lump
of coal, from the mines of the Parker Vein Coal
Company, OF Baltimore, for the Crystal Palace.
This piece weighs fifteen tons, and it is entirely
composed Of pure COAL One of the great resource
of our country lies in the immense beds of this
mineral, which furnish fuel for our manufactures
our steamers and our houses.
