NEW YORK EprscopATE.-The New York
Express states that there is much important
business before the Episcopal Convention of
the Eastern Diocese of New York, now in
session, but the most important is the ques-
ton. whether the election of . successor to
Bishop Wainwright shall at once be made.
The exigency of the case, it is thought, win
decide the question in the Affirmative. The
Rev. DIR. Creighton of Tafytown, who was
elected Bishop two years a o but declined the
post, could be unanimd bly, elected, if he
would accept the station. But of this there
Is no probability. Anon the most promi-
nent names is the Rev. Dr.! Vinton of Brook
Ign, high church) who was the next highest
candidate to Bishop Wainwright at the eiec-
ton of September. 1852, the Rev. DIR. Height,
(also high church, the Rev. DIR. Potter, of
Albany, who is urged by the friends OF
moderate candidate, and Rev. DIR. Hawks
| and Rev. DR.. Lewis, one of whom, it is be-
heved, will receive the support of the low
church party. 1t is said that Bishop South
gate, formerly Missionary Bishop at Constan-
tinople, and now Rector of church in Bos-
ton, will also be likely to received fair quota
of votes. The diocese being the largest and
most powerful within the limits of the Epis-
| copal Church in the United States, the cleo
ton of q head is regarded with great interest
THE FRENCH REPUBLICANS AND FRENCH
FRIGATEs IN NEW YORK HARBoR.- The

the French Republicans of New York, in Gel

at the crowds of spectators who gathered 70 the
sides Of the vessels ceasing the song to join 10
derisive cheers or shout with cleuched teeth and
| threatening air, "Morte au Tyrant !" "Morte Ma
poleoni" "a bas Napoleon !" give la Republican
isme l"-"Republicanisme Universelle! AS the
steamer approached the United States frigate indie
| pendepce, the air was changed to 'Hai Columbia,
/ and the entire party, waving flags, hats and hand
| kerchiefs Joined In rapturous cheering On the
| return of the steamer, which seemed to have gone
out of her course purposey to give the people on
| board the French war ships spice of French sem
timent in America, the insulting cheers and shouts
| were renewed, and one person who appeared to
have more brandy than brains in him, fired OFT q
| pistol for which he was instantaneously repri-
| manded by some of those who were near to him.

| 1880 men, and l0s guns of various calibre,
besides large number of small size, called
periers.
MAJOR WElGBrMAN AND Mr.. AUBREY
The late intelligence from Santa Fe gives y
| full account of the late unfortunate affair be-
| tween Major Weightman and Mr.. Aubrey
The facts present a very clear case of self
defence on the part of Major WeightmaD,
who is personally known to US as most anna
BILE as well as high minded and honorable
gentleman. There was no more accomplish
ed, gallant and deserving officer in the late
war with Mexico than Major Weightman, and
1 there is no man of our acquaintance, in civil
I or military life who would more regret such
| a necessity as Aubrey imposed upon him.
