the papers. he determined to visit Charles
town to ascertain if lie was his relatiye.-
Mrs. Willard, he states, is in great distress
ut the conduct of her brother.
The n. Y. Herald says, Bishop Onder-
donk having had the doors of the House
Of Bishops slammed in his face, has dc.
cided upon a novel mode of redre ,sing
his grievances and clearing his ecclesias-
tical character. Acting under the adj
vice Of a distinguished member of Con-
gress, and prominent lawyer he has re-
solved to bring a legal action to recover
damages which he has sustained through
the deprivation of his office, and its i'm.
munities. privileges and perqusites. In
fact, the House of Bishops, having re-
solved to leave their erring brother in his
sins. he intends to appeal to the secular
power to set him right pecuniarly.-
Bishop Onderdonk's case is something
like that ola woman who, having lost her
reputation through misplaced confidence
in marriage promise, brings an action at
law against her betrayer. She cannot re-
cover her lost honor, but she can obtain
u salve for it in the shape OF round sum
of money. So, Bishop Onderdonk, be-
ing shut on, oe the Kingdom OF Heaven
that is, so far as the House Of Bishops
can do it-resolves to obtain the next
best thing. at least in the wicked worlds
view, in suing for swinging damages
The cause will be one Of the most novel
and interesting actions that has ever been
tried anywhere, and will furnish more
food for the scandal mongers.

Ex-Presideht Fillmore, Hon. 8. O. Ha.
ven, P. Dorsheimer, and thirty others Of
the most prominent citizens Of Buffalo.
have addressed letter 10, Hon. n. Ger
main, requesting him to give TO the ci.i'
zeDs of Buffalo public exposition Of his
principles of construction for an improved
steamboat. Mr.. Germain has consented
to comply with their request, and ID hh
reply, he says he shall andeavor to estab-
lish amongst others, the following facts I;
First, That steamers may be construct
ed that can be made to run more than
one hundred miles an hour.
Second, That they will be so strong
and steady that the gre stest oceanic for
ces will not endanger their salty, nor
much disturb their equilibrium. Ses
sickness will be Impossible.
| Third, That the economy of their move
ments will be such US to reduce the cost
of travel and transportation thereby, to
less than one-fifth of their ordinary rates,
Fourth, That when light, they need
not draw more than fourteen feet; and
when loaded with very large amount Of
freight and passengers, and with fuel
enough for voyage around the world.
they need not draw more than twenty
two feet.
Fifth, That as war ship, one Of these
would be an over match for all existing
navies.
If Mr. Germain does succeed in estab-
fishing these facts, there will be an end
OF Railroads where water can be found,
and the need of an Atlantic telegraph
will be wholly obviated. When he con-
structs steamboat that will go one hum
dred miles an hour, it will only require
thirty-six hours to cross the Atlantic
ocean. And we agre with the gentlemen
who invited Mr.. Germain to explain his
principles publicly, that when perfected
it will be matter of great value not only
to Buffalo, but to the whole country.
