~ The Episcopal Convention rs.

@,T The Episcopal Convention re-
Gently held in Philadelphia, by very
decided maj 'rity, remittcd the sent nee
upon Il. U. Onderdouk, Of PenDsylta-
MIA, which suspended him FROM all cIeri-
cal functions This sentence was iin-
posed twelve years age, about the time
bis brother, Bishop Onderdouk of New
York, was also suspended The mem
bers of the church, and the public, also,
are doubtless familiar with the history
of these eases, and the feeling that the
action Of the convention produced 10 the
church. An interval of twelve years
has ssftened the asperities the discussion
then produced. and the remission Of the
sentence at this late period seems ne
more than an act of justice to an old
servant of the church, who in his pre-
Sious career had rendered it good SER
vice, and whose conduct since has been
vsid of offence. The remission of his
sentence will restore him to bis minis
terial functions, but. We presume not to
his bishopric, which is now filed by
Bishop Potter. -e

The Storm, &C.

The most severe storm that has been

difficulty, made harbors, where they rsdc

Connec icut, Of the Norwich line, when
about ten miles this side of Huntington,
light, experienced the full fury of the
storm. One of her smoke pipes was
blown or washed down by the sea, which
had made OF clean breach over her, and
her hog frames were broken in two.
Even the officers abandoned all hopes Of
saving the vessel from immediate aud
complete destruction, and the lives of
all on board were in most imminent
peril. Two men we're washed of but
were afterwards found and saved but
