 A great loss has been sustained by the Protestant Episcopal church of this diocess in the death of Bishop Wein, wight, who expired at A r. M. on the 21st inst. after about a months illness. He was in the first instance attacked with bilious remittent fever, which sub> sequently assumed typhoid character. Bishop Wainwright was an Englishman He was born in l793 and was the refore in his sixty second year at the time of his decease.

 There are six murder cases on the calender of the Court of sessions for the October term. Dr. Graham of New Orleans who killed Col. Loring at the St. Nicholas Hotel about two months ago will be tried some time during the term for that offence.
