CHURCH MATTERs.-Bishop ONDERDoyK

of the Annunciation in New York City. He is
de facto the Bishop of New York. He is sus-
pended, not deposed. He lives in the Episco-
pal residence, and has a salary of $4,000 year,
paid by the diocese. It was quite touching

the Provincial Bishop, to see Bishop Potter ad-

He has abstained from all company since, and

Wine.-Here the fabricators make their great
est profits, exercise their greatest skill, and prob
ably do the greatest amount of injury. Undlu-
ted wine according to its name and quality, must
command certain price to make it worth deal
ing in. The fabricator's ingenuity is put to the
greatest trial, to produce an article resembling
the pure, so as to obtain as near as possible, the
price Of pure; and as it is impossible to distin-
guish the pure from the impure, and as the i'm
pure can be made at one tenth to one quarter
of the value of the pure, the impure, as nat
ural consequence, takes tho place of the pure, as
the bogus dollar, provided it was settled by COM
mon consent dollar was dollar, whether bo-

Says DIR. Mott, had friend, who had been

The process of adulteration is carried on in
wine countries as well as in this country, with
regard to Madeira, Sherry, Claret, and all other
kinds Of wine. I .o
The Rev. DR.. Baird has stated that 4" little or
no wine is drank in France in pure state, ex-

purchase it at the vineyards in pure state, but
in their hands it is entirely changed, by adding
drugs or distilled spirits" ''. .a
Says Horatio Greenough, the eminent sculp-
tor, ST that although wine can be had in Florence
at one cent per bottle, the dealers do not hesitate
to add drugs and water, to gain fraction more

PRESIDENT PIERCE AND CAPTAIN TYLER-A
FTaternal Eos6race.-There was an affecting scene
at the Virginia White Sulphur Springs the other
day, says the New York Herald. The President
came down to get rid of the Washington chills,
and was welcomed by Capt Tyler, Of Sherwood
Forest. The Captain congratulated Mr. Pierce on
his administration; and Mr. Pierce said that nothing
could be more brilliant than the reign of Mr. Tyler
This interchange Of courtesies reminds US of re-
mark made by wing senator in Washington, when
some democrats were satirizing the present admin
istration. Gentlemen" said he, I" I think you are
wrong. Mr.. Pierces administration in my opium,
. very good one" Why's" exclaimed several
surprised individuals. Because" rejoined the
Senator, it has dignided the administration Of
John Tyler, and nothing else in the world could
have done that!" We think he was right. The
administration Of Mr.. Pierce is 30 miserable IN
affair that even the misrule of Captain Tyler seems
brilliant when compared with it.

A RUNAWAY LocoMorIvE-The locomotive
"Pony," engaged in hauling gravel on the Ceve-
land and Toledo railroad, broke away from the
engineer, on Thursday last, and ran few miles
against time on its own account. It was attached
to heavy train Of gravel and had proceeded
about two miles above Benton, when the fireman
stepped on to thekender for wood and the engineer
also stepped on for the purpose of turning the
water valve, and at that instant the coupling be-
tween the engine and tender broke, and away it
darted with full head Of steam. and in few
minutes was out Of sight. It ran about four miles
In an incredible short time and in passing over an
ungrayeled part Of the road. it ran of the track
and was found lying across the rails foaming with
rage at the sudden termination of its flying career
Had it not ran off the track it would have run to
Toledo, distance Of twelve miles, and resulted in
serious obstruction to property, if not of lfe We
could not learn that the engine was much damaged,
otherwise than the loss of its smoke pipe cab, and
some Of its exterior adornments. The passenger
trains were delayed two hours in consequence.

CoNTLIcr BETWEEN THE PowERs.-Our young
friend, Kamehameha the Fourth King Of the Sand
wich Islands, is turning out to be trump. On the
10th Of June last he followed the brilliant exam
pie Of Cromwell and Napoleon, and dissolved the
Legislature. The Appropriation bill voted BY the
House exceeded the revenue about two hundred
thousand dollars, and the King refused to sanction
direct taxation to make up the deficit He has or
dered new election, and Parliament was called to
meet at Honolulu on the goth Of July. The young
King has evidently caught the dictatoria spirit Of
the age. Well why shouldn't he have his little
coup Tstat? 80.

LOVE, RoYALTY AND RELIGIoN.-The London
correspondent of the Boston Post gives the follow
ing gossip:
Apropos of the Queen-it is said that she is
troubled about an affair of the heart which has
sprung up between the Princess Royal and the
young King Of Portugal, who is again upon visit
here. Not that there is anything Objectionable in
the latter, either in mind, morals or good looks,
that would render him an undesirable husband Or
son-naw, or in the throne heis to fill, which is all
anxious mother could aspire after for one Of her
four daughters-nor that the Queen would not
gladly see the Princess Royal well disposed Of in
marriage-but that the young King is Roman
Catholic, and is thus declared from alying himself
in marriage with an heiress however distant of the
British Crown. Meanwhile the young King has
fallen violently in love with the fair girl of fifteen
who is not insensbe to his merits and lets pass no
occasion, either by presents, messages Or tokens
when he is absent, or by tender looks when present.
to manifest her sincere affection They are not of
course, suffered to meet except in the presence of
others, but there are numerous occasions during
the morning walks and rides, or the steamer trips
in the bay, when the lover car, manifest the sent-
ments Of his heart to the object of his pursuit 1t
is whispered that among the numerous teachers
employed to perfect the Royal children in the
knowledge Of the modern languages there is one
who is subject Of his majesty, and who is devo-
tedly attached to him, and through him commune
cations have passed for long time, which never
meet the august scrutiny Of the Queen.

D8 The Emperor Of Austria seems, for the
nrst time since his accession to the throne,
eager to ingrntiate himself with the Poles. On
MS journey Of inspection 10 Galicia, he had the
prlnce Lobomirski and Count Adam Potoki-
ootn OF them compromised, and even imprison-
ed IN lS49-invited to his table. This is to
De taken as a counter demonstration to Louis
Napoleon and Lord Palmerston's delusiye at
tempts to make use Of the Polish exiles. Still
Lord Palmerston and Lord John Russell have
both made clean breast Of it, openly declaring
in Parliament that they can hold out no pro.
misses whatever to Poland.

AN IMPORTANT QUEsrIoN.-Wil the Crescent
the Bee the Creole be good inform the good
people Of this State what the re ous belief of Charles
Derbigny, the Know Nothing candidate for Governor?
lC0ufer, 14N.
Yes, gentlemen, we will take pleasure in posting
you up. And, we pledge our personal word that
the information we are about to impart to our be-
nighted neighbors is scrupulously and exactly cor
rect for we heard it from the lips Of our noble,
pure, and glorious standard-bearer in chief not
twelve months since.
Judge Derbigny Is Catholic. There is no mis-
take about it. The writer of these lines heard him
say so, and believed him, for no one can look upon
bis venerable form, his white hairs, his open manly
and intelligent countenance, and believe him capable
Of telling untruth either directly or by mplica-
ton. We believe, also, that he came from good
Catholic stock, and that he has never been wanting
in duty to the faith Of his fathers If there is any
thing Objectionable in these facts we trust the
Courier will not be slow in making them public.
But, while Judge Derbigny fails not in his obliga-
tons as christian, he forgets not his duties
American and patriot. He is as true an Amer
lean as ever breated the air of the soil of
liberty. There is not, within the broad limits of
the State Of Louisiana, single man who feels a
purer devotion to the land of his birth, or who
carries that devotion into better or nober practice
He regards the constitution of the State and the
constitution of the United States as superior to all
temporal authority and will stand by, fight for and
if necessary, die for the preservation of the
stitutional guarantees Of the confederacy.
Is the Courier answered ?-Crescent.

CRoPs ABRoAD.-The London correspondent Of
the National Inteligencer, in reference to this all
important subject, says:
The harvest moon has brought harvest weather
all that was needed to secure as fine a crop as
perhaps ever stood on the soil of England. Reap
ing would commence pretty generally last Monday.
There has been in some places considerable injury
done to the wheat by the heating rains Of the pre-
ceding week the whole of it will, however, be
saved though in such it may be dark in color
and deficient in quantity. 1t is too soon to make
any useful calculation respecting the quantity of
breadstuffs which it may necessary to import; but
yet calculation has been made which shows that
quantity to be about $780, 900 quarters, or about
3O,OOOOOO of bushels. This year the harvests are
comparatively abundant in France, Spain, Italy and
and Germany. 1t is represented also as being so
in the United States. Although none of the pro-
duce of Russia will come to England directly, it
will 60 into Austria. Italy, Spain, and other coun-
tries, and cause the native produce to be shipped
hither. A week ago Diogenes, a facetious rival OF
Punch, said:
SIT appears doubtful,
Putting al the reports together
Whether the crops win weather the weather
Or the weather win crop the crops"
There has been much injury done TO the heavy
first crops of hay, but there is prospect Of good
second crops from artificial grasses. There is now
some fear that the potatoes have been injured by
the late excessive wet

BEAUTIFUL TRIBUTE TO THE LATE ABBOTT
LAwRENcE.-At the opening Of the Tufts Col
lege, Rev. e. H. Chaplin, while responding to
the sentiment, knowledge is power" spoke
incidentally of the death of Mr.. Lawrence, and
gave splendid tribute to his worth:
sir-In the city which have just left, this
very day the solemn bell has tolled, the doors
of traffic have been shut, and Boston has worn
the tokens Of mourning and respect for one Of
her merchant princes borne to his grave. This
honor has not been rendered to mere wealth, or
distinguished station-it is not in the American,
least of all is it in the New England character
to do this. Such homage as has been paid to-
day cannot be extorted from any people-it is
free-wiil Offering of the heart; tribute to
that which constituted the departed q merchant
prince indeed-his active interest in the general
good, and his muni6ence to coming generations
In all these things he made his presence
known while be lived, and the public artries
will feel the influence of his life long after he is
dead; and surely he will live most vitality, most
enduringly, not in monuments of massive fac
tory walls-not where his energy has blossom
ed in thriving towns, and planted the artillery
Of industry by obsequious streams-not in the
splendid achievements Of labor, battling with
its thousand hammers, and Trailing its pennons
Of smoke and FIRE athwart the sky. But his
life will still throb in silent, deathless pulses,
from yonder school of science-it will flow in
all the thought which that institution shall
kindle-in all the conquests Of truth which it
shall inspire. It shall sweep wide as the circle
Of exploration through the fields Of nature; it
shall form in the dim catacombs Of geological
research, and drift among the nebula it shall
give its testimony when the lips Of the dis
coverer cry-"I have found fact;" and
wherever may be the forthgoing or the ingather-
ing Of that knowledge which is power, there
shall his personality be felt. And so his
biography will always be going on--never COM
pleted. 1t will expand in fresh leaves Of
nature. Its significance will unfold in flower
and fossil. And, here and there, an asterisk in
the SKY will refer Us to some new note appended
to the rich mana }ifa .7g9
