The clergy of England seem TO have bottomleS
capacity for getting themselves into scrapes. Rev.
DR.. Hodgins has been summoned by his clerk, "ior
splitting in his face on Sunday evening just outside
the church door," Mr. Stewart, Liverpool rector,
is at odds with his vestry for putting up an OBJ
noxious cross, and at vestry meeting there was
almost riot. The Vicar of LaDdulph, owing TO dis
agreements finds his congregation reduced to three
and has been publicly told by one Of his recactrani
flock that "he talked nonsense" which wasn't
a handsome thing for sheep to say TO bis shepherd.
When this congregation Of Landulph met on Easter
Monday there was row about matters and things
IN general, and especially concerning the sacI%
mental wine. The Vicar declared that not enough
had been provided for the celebration Of the Euchs
rist. The churchwarden pontedly responded thai
as only two persons had communicated during the
past year. and he had sent whole bottle to the
vestry, he thought there must have been quite
enough and to spare. The response of the F'carn
not reported, but he must have been in most IN
clerical passion.

Both at Albany and at home the East River
Bridge Ring has met with signal defeat. Con-
troller Schroeder's bill, which retained the
present management on the payment OF
$25O,OOO of stock, was yesterday amended SO
as to provide for the retirement of the whole
Board of Directors. In Brooklyn the Directory
asked an Endorsement of its management from
the Board of Aldermen, and secured the support
of only one Alderman, who was the mover OF
the resolutions of approval. A vote was de-
ferred 10 avoid discreditable defeat

The law of Congress by which the five
Central American missions are to be CONSOLE
dated goes into effect on the 3Oth of June
next, and the President instead of making a
selection from among the present Ministers
has appointed Judge George Williamson of
Louisiana to take charge of the resulting Le-
CATION. We know nothing of the special fit
ness of Judge Williamson for this position,
but every one must be glad to see that Mr.
Silas Hudson, who was said to be expecting
the appointment has not received it. On the
other hand, it will be generally regretted that
Judge Edwards PieTepOnt has decided to de-
cline the mission to Russia, which he would
have filed with credit and dignity. We hope
the President Will not be induced by this re-
fusal to turn to the professional office-seekers,
who never refuse anything.

Steps are to be taken to correct the bill,
now in the Governors hands, providing for
the annexation of q portion of Westchester
County to New-York. AS the bill now reads,
no provision is made in it for submitting the
proposition to popular vote. The Assembly
resolution, passed yesterday, recalls the bill
for the purpose of inserting such a clause.
This change will remove the only substantial
objection which has been made against it,
and will give the bill principle much more
in accordance with the spirit of republicanism'
The people interested in the question of an
nexation ought to have a voice in deciding it..

One of the most unique of all the rapid
transit schemes yet invented has passed the
Senate and has gone to third reading IN
the Assembly. 1t is known as "Spier's Tray
ceiling Sidewalk" The plan is to build an
endless movable platform on an elevated
tramway, the motive power being from large
stationary steam engines underground. The
"sidewalk" is to be perpetually moving up
one side of q street or avenue and down the
other at the rate of nineteen miles an hour
Passengers are to be taken on or off the plat

ing the movement of the train, If we may so
call it, The bill provides for the construction
of a short section in this city, and leaves any
future extension to the approval of the Com

Pertinent to the subject of cheaper transportation
of Western feld-produce to the seaboard markets,
and also to tho expansion of American iron-manu-
featuring and mining interests, are the facts con-
tanned in q recently Published pamphlet of Messrs
Fisk & Hatch the bankers, of this city, descriptive
of the ateiy-opened Chesapeake and Ohio Railroad
and Of the country and resources along Its route
To all of the above industries and interests as well
as to agriculture, this great road is closely allied
Instead of trusting wholly to the short season OF
lake and canal routes or to the costly all rail
transportation over long distances, or to the risks
and delays Of the circutous route through the trop
ical Gulf of Mexico, Western products may be bet
ter accommodated by using the Ohio River from its
mouth to its confluence with the Guyandotte, $50
miles, where lswollen by its great southern atflu-
ents) it begins its general westerly course.
At this point and again at the head
of navigation on the Kanawha the IN
terna river system of cheap transportation IS
connected with that of the by Of the Ches
apeake and Ohio Road. making the shortest and
easiest portage between the two waterways having
by far the lghtest grades and most favorable work

provisions can be carried to Atlantic markets at the

oyertaxed, and the probabilities are that the new
route, like the old one will have oil it can carry Of
the available surplus grown at the West The route
of this road is also known to be bordered with
sive iron ore deposits, and at another part it cuts
through probably the richest coal fields in the world
New mining, manufacturing, and mechanical sites

come another Pennsylvania, dotted with busy shops

his plans, there is no doubt that the works upon
