Our partial success at thiS time,iis only the precursor of the fuller and more glorious triumph which awaits us at the next trial of strength. • Lancaster 'county will be Democratic at the next Presidential election.

The parties addressing the Bishop, requested him either to institute a sat isfactory investigation into the charges made against him, or to resign his rectorship ; neith er of which having been done, they h a v e taken steps to bring the matter before the !loose of Bishops.

"Our greatest difficulty was the passage of an extensive zone of ice which intervened be tween the brig and the nearest SOuthern water.
