\ he great stumbling W o".utlny
measures looking towards the restoration hther-
! to, has been removed-the Bishop having signed
a paper in which, after acquittng his brethren of
| improper motives in his conviction, acknowledge
ing the justice of their act of discipline, and pro-
tossing his sincere sorrow and repentance, he
asks that his sentence may be RENTED. A peti-
ton based upon this memorial, and to be present
ed with it to the House of Bishops, at the Gene
! raj Convention, at Richmond, next month, is now
b>ing circulated for signatures among the clergy
| and laity of the dloc> Sc.
Among the clergy who have already signed it.
understand, are many who were CONSPICUOUS in
bringing the Bishop to judgment. The lapse of
time has softened their resentment, and the frank
acknow ledgnent of the Bishop of his offence
has moved them to forget and forgive. Among
the names that may be mentioned in this connec-
ton, are those of Rev DR.. Hawks, Rev. DIR. But
Ter, and several other low church clergymen-
Rev. Dr. Tying has not yet signed the memorial,
but am assured he has promised to do
1t must not be supposed, however, that there is
to be no opposition to this step. The Diocesan
inst, will have number of delegates determined
to resist the restoration in any event. The senti-
ments of this party were expressed by the Protes-
tant Churchman, the other day, when it said -
s'If the House of Bishops is to be approached with
movement on the part of Bishop Onderdonk,
ought it not to be done by the clergy and laty
not individuals, but delegates in conven-
ton? The same paper likewise expresses the
opinion that 'the resumption of Episcopal func-
tions by Bishop Onderdonk would be, in the
Judgment of very many, extremely hazardous to
the well being ana unity of the Church and Dio-
ceSe'
From all can learn, however, it is pretty
tain th at they who hold these views in mi
nority. The Bishop will be restored.

SPEECHES OF SENATOR Notwithstanding
Douglas, who is about to stump Ohio, at the'inyi-
tation of the State Democratic Committee, made
his first speech at Columbus the 9TH inst. He
repeated his position non-intervention, and

immunities of self-government. stand firmly by
the Democratic platform of 1856. want no new |
planks and no pillars to strengthen and uphold
it. Istand upon the platform, and carry the Demo

ton Convention take the same position Put him |
on that platform add give him the old Democrat
lc banner, with all its glorious memories cluster
ing around it, and the Democracy viii march to |
a glorious victory in 1880.

BENEDICK ARNOLD AND THE Law OF LIBEL
Mr.. Everett, in his 39th number, (closing three
fourth of this whole series,) says of Arnold:
al cannot refrain from repeating another anec-
dote of him, recorded by MIR. Sabine, which throws
dismal light on the repute in-which he was held
ed, if anywhere, that he would have been kindly
viewed. After the revolutionary war, lie estab-
lished himselfin sort of business at St Johns
New Brunswick, which was principally settled by
American loyallists. His warehouse and the mer
chandisein it, being fully insured, destroyed
by fire, and Arnold was charged in a newspaper
with having himself set fire to the building in
order to get the insurance, which largely be-
yond the value of the property. He prosecuted
the publisher of the paper for libel. laid the
damages at thousands, and recovered, by the
dict of the jury, two and six pence! Such was
the estimate formed by st. Johns jury of his
Drobity.;'

IL will be seen by correspondence in another
part of our paper, that Mr.. JAMES E. MURDOCH has
kindly consented in behalf of the Poor Association
of this city, to deliver critical dissertation the
character of Hamlet. The fine scholarship of Mr..
MURDOCH, nor less than his acknowledged reputa-
ton as an accomplished elocutionist, when taken in
connection with the charitable object for which he
has generously volunteered his services, can scarce
ly fail to commend this lecture to the attention of
the community.

SIR As it may interest you to nave some account
OF the performance at sea of the ship Voyageur de
la Mer, built in Boston for the Viceroy of Egypt.
and which has on board boilers made on your plan
ana under your supervision, l will give you such
information as have received from the contractor
who went out in her. The engines and boiler work
ed badly when they left Boston, but soon got into
good working and running order, and for fort
night prior to arrival at Gibraltar the boilers had
not loaned, but gave them dry steam. Under steam
alone they made knots, but their coal was very
pad, and the "Corliss' cutoff broke several times
and required much time to repair; on the run from
Gibraltar to Malta the engines worked well, boil
ers Also and the highest speed attained under sail
and steam, with moderate breeze, was I2I knots.
After her arrival at Alexandria, the Viceroy put
on board Egyptian officers, and Arab sailors and
hremen, and went out on a trial trip or excursion,
under steam alone, and her speed was knots The
engines work easy land almost noiseless the boilers
continue to give dry steam, and the ship performs
satisfactorily.

DEATH OF ROBERT WALSH, EsQ.-Letters by the
Canada announce the decease ofthis well known oen-
tleman at his residence in Paris on the 7th inst.
The Paris correspondent of the Philadelphia NORTH
american says:
Robert Walsh, formerly Consul General for the
United States at this capital, expired on Monday
last, at hi9 residence in the Faubourg St Honore
and his body this morning was carried to the
Church oil St. Philippe to receive the last rites of the
Romsh Church, of which he was member. I am
not myself acquainted with all the particulars of
Mr. w ashs career in the United States but have
always understood that his native country stands
indebted to his talents and intellectual energy for
the very foundation of literary journalism mean
of that class of newspapers and public writers
whose aim and business it is not merely to cbrcni-
Gle events but to seek to lead elevate and instruct
their fellow men, by the instrumentality of press
whose nOblest privilege it is to be in the van of civ
ilzation and progress. In Paris, almost his adop-
ted country, for period of % years MIR. Walsh
has occupied distinguished position in political
society, and has enjoyed the familiarity of great
numbers of eminent Frenchmen He was at once
one of the oldest resident Americans in this city,
and the most generally known and intimate in
French circles. For many years his kindness, ur-
banlty, intelligence and keen enjoyment of CONVEX
satlonai and social pleasures caused his salon to be
the rendezvous of all that most celebrated
pom OF ms own countrymen and of the country he
mad CHOSEN Tor his retreat He died at the ripe
age OF ~ years. having retained his intellectual
powers undiminished to the last. What is still
more consoatOry to the many friends he has left
behind him is, that his end was peaceful, Tranquil,
voluntary, it may be said, in unusual degree SO
that feeling his time to have been accomplished,
and weary with the length of his pilgrimage, he
