A CLERGYMAN SUsPENDED.-On wednesday
morning, the 30th inst, the Presbytery Of Allie
ghauy, Of the Cumberland Presbyterian Church,
met in Westminster College, Allegheny city, Pa |,
pursuant to adjournment on July 18th, to perform
the painful duty of trying one Of their brethren
on two separate charges Of {" improper conduct, )"
which were entertained against him at the pre-
ceding meeting of the Presbytery, and Were as
follows:
1. That he acted improperly In entering Miss
Henderson's stateroom at such an unreasonable
hour. .a'-
9. That he acted improperly In having the
names " Rev. Simpson and lady" entered on the
register of the steamer Arctic.
The Presbytery, in trying the case, Used the
utmost care and caution, and every opportunity
was afforded Mr.. Simpson to establish his innO-
cence. But he could make no defence gainst the

which, as newspaper, is in all respects up to
Ae mark Of the times. The means which are
understood to be at its proprietor's disposal,
added to his experience, energy and unquestioned
talents, render il certain that his journal will
rapidly come TO exercise great weight in Penn

we have seen speculations in print concerning the
probable political position the Press Is to occupy

Government, and acted in concert and confidence
with him, ever since my first youthful associa-
ton In politics and editorial life The most
agreeable services which il has fallen to nv lot
to perform, were those given to his cause NV
attachment to him grew not more from admira-
tion Of his pure and upright character than from
profound regard for his intellect, experience,
and patriotism. IL was my good fortune, with
many good men, to assist, not obscurely nor inef-
nciently, in browning life Of usefulness and dis
tinetion TO his country and himself with the high

are already ripening for the future The wisdom
OF Inc popular choice is being daily vindicaied,

chanan not been, as he was my first choice for

citizen and the rights of the states, should have
done everything that one man could do TO uphold
