SMITH, EDITORS PITTSBURGH, 'SATURDAY, JANUARY 25 THE TKPUDENCE or Guns.—The eviiult of the Ga zette linens Li falsehood against theTost of which he is conscious—for the purpose of charging the defalcation of hicNnhy as an offence for which the whe6 demo cratie•perty should be held responsible. He •eotnmeoces big article witb the false assertion that""the Post is very quiet about the Sub- Treasury patriot,llcNulty,"anil concludes it with the &Hewing remark: ti 'We fear that this Sib- Treasury patriot is only a bout IL fair sample of what we may expect under the new : dynasty, where party services will be more con sidered than merit, and leg treasurers ere to be trusted rather than those legalized institutions, which private inaiViduals deem safe enough fur their deposits." .. This remark, the public will remember, is made by •tbecollared spntriel of the fifteen whigs ; tho misera ble masonic deserter, who preyed 'upon the a ntimasons, until the whigsgave hints° many reasons to convince bim of the benefit he world derive by playing the doable traitor, and Judas like, betray those who had confided in him. All our readers know that we have never said one word that could be tortured into en ex tetreatien of McNulty's guilt, or in mitigation of the penishment the low prescribes the crime which be comnsitted. **have not seen a respectable democratic journal thafthas made any attempt to soften down the ignomi ntof his guilt. While the democratic papers are thus unanimous in leaving him to be dealt with by the pro persutherities, we are gratified to find that among the whig organs there are none but such collared caitiffs as`the edito r cf the Gazette, who is brund to obey the.behest of his fifteen masters, and his worthy corn peer`of the Amerkan, who charge M'Nulty's offence es-a consequence of democratic principles, and at tempt to attach the odium of his guilt to the demo seratic party. As the self-righteous Deacon believes firmly that all political partizans can be bought for any sum not less than three thousand dollars, and that the party that purchases them are bound to defend Their corruption, he thinks that eve y other base act They may commit should meet with thu same lenient treatment. Such may have been the result of his ex perience, and his successful negotiations with the fif teen whigs; but he has no right to attribute to others - a disposition to look on dishonesty with indifference, 'from almewledge of the course he would pursue un der similar circumstances. Viet - we have-wastedgoo much kme in noticing the low malignity of the Gazette, and will conclude by ad vising bim that hereafter, when he thinks fit to; make such charges against the democratic party, he had betteefirit ascertain that those whom be t,ttacka have not the means of retorting upon, and paying him back with interest. When the Deacon can satisfactori ly answer the numerous questions that have been' ask ediwithin the past few days, touching the whereabouts of a pious correspondent who figured in the columns of the Gazette during the late Presidential election, and prove that he tined° an honest adjustment of all his besineerwith his clients and his Church before he took sudden leave of (hem, it will be time enough forhim 'to oast stones at-even as great a sinner as McNulty. •SZIRGICAL OPERATIMI—MAGFIETIC Steen.—The N. Y. Evening Post gives a brief account of a very successful Surgical operation performed by Dr Bodi flier, a young surgeon from Paris; the operation was the cutting of a tumor from the neck of a young woman , a chambermaid in a family be visited. It is the first surgical operation performed in this country during the magnetic sleep. Dr 8., in order to reader his suc cess more sure, threw his patient into the magnetic sleep about ten times, for an hour or two each time, every other day. On the day appointed for the ope ration, some twelve or fifteen of the most distinguish ed surgeons and physicians, among whom were Drs. Valentine Mott, John W Francis, E Delafield,J Kear trey Rodgers, A Sidney Doane, Nelson, Taylor, Alfaro, of-Madrid, R Parmly, and others of equal standing, were invited to attend. The girl was put to sleep at half past eleven o'clock in the morning, in presence of Dr Deane, (No 32 Warren Street) and a few other persons, and in a very short time she was in a com plete state of insensibility. At half-past one o'clock, all the doctors above named being present, Dr Bodi nier performed the operation, which lasted about three minutes, doting which the girl did not show the least sesibility; nor could the least contraction be seen on her face, or any part of her body; she was exactly like e corpse. All being completed, the girl was left asleep for two hours longer, and then, in presence of five or six of the above mentioned doctors, she was in less than three minutes awakened from the most pro found steels. When she was first asked how she felt, she said -she was tired of having remained so long in the same position, but she seemed to be unconscious of what had taken place until she was shown the tumor which had been extracted, and which was about the size of airegg. It was a minute or two before she began to feel the itching of the wound. She was perfectly well. except exhibiting a state of feebleness produced by the loss of bloed. Since this time, she has been without pain from the wound. Dr. Budinier is a young surgeon who arrived in N Y three months ago from Paris, bringing with him the highest credentials from the most eminent professional men in France. He seems not to have given his at• motion to animal magnetism, otherwise than as a means of producing, on some partied* constitutions, estate of sleep and insensibilit3, of which science 'nay take advantage, to save to humanity the suffering and anxiety attending surgical operations, and it was merely frith this view that he attempted the three -above named experiments which proved to be so suc cessful. 'CORPORATIO% FAVollit9.—.-It would seem, from the following, that there are other places beside Pitts tank where it is good to be a member of Councils in order to have improvements made to suit individual convenience. The Morning News exclaims, "what it is to be an Alderman," (i. e. Councilman) and then cam on "In the columns of some of the city papers maybe found an advertisement signed "Samuel S. Doughty.

Istrx•cuisEar.—The New York Sun says,—"Tbe County Court has been ordered to assemble on Tues day afternoon next, to try Justices Haskell and Drink er, on charges preferred against them. The charges, we understand, against Mr Haskell, are for violence of temper in the discharge of his official duties. such as drawing a pistol upon a person while on the bench, refusing to take complaints in certain cases of grand larceny:and general incompetency to discharge the du ties of his office. The charges against Justice Drink er, we fl.re told, are for refusing to receive complaints in certain eases of grand larceny, &c, discharging per sons after being fully cominitted for grand larceny and other crimes; also other small complaints connected with the business of the office." THE LIDERATIort or Gor Doan.—Our readers are aware that the friends of Dorr in Rhode Island have petitioned the Legislature which is now in session, for the unconditional liberation of Dorr. They do not wish to impose upon him any odious requirements, but ask that the prison doors may be opened, and the pa triot go free. Algerine cruelty still predominates in the Legislature: they refuse to liberate him, unless be will consent to take the oath of allegiance. This Derr will not do, though he is perfectly willing to respect the new Government, but be will not be forced to do what is required of no other citizen of Rhode Island to do. The following is from the Republican Herald, Pro vidence: As toe expected.—The Committee of our Legisla ture., to whom was referred the several petitions for the unconditional liberation of Gov Derr, reported yes terday morning in favor of his liberation, on candilion of his taking the oath of allegiance—which report has been accepted. The Committee and the Legisla ture, intending his perpetual imprisonment, have pas sed an act ofthe benefit of which they were well satis fied he would not avail himself. Democratic Electors of Rhode Nand, it rem a i n s f or you to liberate the captive unconditionally at the spring Election. By appealing to the people, he constituted you his judges, and we know you will give a verdict in his favor. From this day, go to work; one and all, with strong hands and iboki hearts, unite all your strength, and the ballotbox in April will open the pri son doors fur the victim of Algerims malice. IMPORTANT YnO3lMEXICO.+Sallia Ana declared an Outlaw, and Traitor. The Charleston Courier has been furnished with the following intelligence by Mr. Tripler, who arrived there on the 17th inst., hay ing left Vera Cruz on the 2d inst. At the last accounts Santa Anna was at San Mar tin de Scam°lnca, about four leagues from Puebla, with a force of about 6,000 men, mostly mounted on horses taken frcm the inhabitants. Gen. Paredesbe ing in close pursuit with an army of 9,000 men, es a matter of policy, as Santa Anna's forces were dally decreasing, on accountof desertions from his rails, while Gen P was rapidly acquiring strength. The city of Mexico had been well fortified, and eve ry preparation to prevent or repel en assault. The aqueducts had been opened, and the mole which surrounds the city filled with water, and there was a force of some 30,000 armed citizens prepared to de fend it. At Veta Cruz, also, fortification; were in progress, and the citizens were arming. The steamer Monte zuma left Vera Criz a short time before the Dee, bound to Campeachy for troops, and reinforcements were also expected from Alvarado and Tlacatalplan. A decree had been issued by the Mexican Congress declaring Santa Anna a traitor and an outlaw, and au thorizing any one who may meet him to take his life. Mea;ures had also been adopted to prevent his escape, by guarding the different sea-ports and other outlets, and it is believed that be must eventually be captured. A person named Arella ro, nn individual in the inter est of Santa Anna, with additional confidential corres pondence, had been taken, and it was supposed he would he executed. Mr Triplet states that the whole country is in state of the utmost confusion—robberies of travellers em committed daily, and he himself twice stripped of whatever was valuable about him, in his progress through Mexico, but without any indignity being °fet al to his person. It is the opinion cf Mr T. from what he could learn, that the new government would be as much if net more virulently opposed to the an nexation of Texas as the former, and states that Amer icans are held in great abhorrence, and receive 'fre quent insults at the bands ethe Mexicans. MP It is now ascertained that President !ones has revoked Gen Duff Green's recognition as a public agent. Various conjectures have been indulged es sottre cause of this extreme measure—some of them quite derogs. tory to the diplomatic acumen of the United States functionary, and others tt little less equivocal in their import. The Texan President, for some reason or oth er—whether of a personal or political character— whether because Gen Green insinuated a menace or a bribe to his Excellency as the rumors have it—has seen fit to repel all further intercourse with him. Be the reason for this conduct what it may, a faux pas of some sort has been made which, seen through the me. ' dium of surmise and exaggeration, looks ugly and bo ding in a high degree. Whether an error of the U. S Agent or en over weening sensibility on the part of the Texan Chief Magistrate mny have been the cause of this abrupt and angry termination of official relations, the schism in the intercourse of the two countries has had a most extraordinary effect upon the British and French Charges resident in Texas. These distinguished diplomats have suddenly become as sociable as foster brothers. Gen Green's catastrophe has tickled them in the sweetest places, and the miscarriage of Ameri can diplomacy has at last given them a theme over which they can commune in sympathetic cachinations. Why is this? What is there beneath the surface of this affair that the repudiation of a U S Consul should fill the hearts of these foreign representatives with such glee? So loving have they become on account of this faux pas, that we are told they edify the natives by their tender personalities. No one would sup pose that their respective Governments ever looked and used daggers upon one another; and they labor for the nonce under the impression that the passages at arms between them, from the venesections of La Pucelle to the phlebotomy at Waterloo, were "love licks" merely. Besides these amiable portents they are reported to have said that annexation is impossible for three years —just the length of time President Jones has to serve. This would imply the success of European machina tions with the Texan authorities. Can this inference be true? or have our informants given too large signi ficance to the diplomatic drippings and the oracular grimace of ministerial functions? Is there:something so intrinsically funny in the disgrace of an American agent that the representatives of the two first powers of Eu rope should laugh themselves into one another's arms? Is the United States such a common enemy that a misunderstanding between one of her officials and President Jones should so rejoice the British and ' French representatives that national antipathies are forgotten in the loving cordiality of their jubilation? There is unquestionably a strong effort making in Texas to bring that country under bonds to Europe. It is also possible that the difficulties between Gen. Green and the Texas Cabinet, at this critical juncture, may hasten a negotiation that will affect American in terests most seriously. It is possible that the expec tation of advantage to be acquired whilst so serious a misunderstanding is pending, has excited the hopes of the European embassies to such elevation. At all ients there is that astir which might well induce such of our citizens as .desire annexation to act promptly in the Waitress. The Governments opposed to such . a measure are busy epeogla, as we learn from sources in Which there estihe oci mistake. FRANCIS R. SRUNK, GOVERNOR OF PENNSYLVANIA, DELIVERED JAN. 21, 1845. PazZaDs ARDFSLLOW CITIZCXII:—/ appear before yori in obedience to the will of the freemen of Penn sylvania, to give the solemn pledge prescribed by the Constitution, and to enter upon the duties of Governor. When I contemplate the interests of our Common wealth. as an independent sovereignty, and as a mem ber of the community of American states, the multi plied relations over which it exerts &supervising guar dianship, and the peculiarly weighty obligations that press upon it at the present moment, I fell how imper fectly I am qualified to discharge, and even to com prehend aright, the arduous and complicated duties to which I have been called. To Him who watches over the destinies of States, as well as men, and whose favor is light and strength, I look upwards with hum ble trust, that He will overrule my errors and give efficiency to my honest efforts for the public good. Happily the principles which should regulate the administration of the State have been long since de clared and established by our republican fathers.— They are few and clear. That equal and exact jus tice should be administered to men of all parties in politics, and of all persuasions in religion—that our public faith should be kept sacred under all circum stances, that freedom of religion, of suffrage,and of the press, should beheld inviolate—that general educa tion is esential to the preservation of liberty—that the seperate rights and powers of the executive, legisla tive and judicial departments of the government should be strictly maintained—Thai the government should be faithfully, but frugally administered, and all to whom it is entrusted held to frequent and strict ac countability—that particular mischiefs should be cor rected by general rather than by special laws—that the grant of exclusive privileges to some is repugnantto our whole system, the intent of which is to make firm the equal rights of all—that men associated for gain should, in common with others, be liable individually for all their joint engagements—and that the obedi ence of the public agent to the will of hie constituents is essential to a right administration of the govern ment, and to the preservation of freedom. These are the leading principles by which I pro pose to be guided in the performance of my official duties. They are all of them primary truths, afFecting the basis of our government, and needing no bettor confirmation of their value, than is to be found every where in the history of our country. Thus far the action of our system has illustrated the capacity of man for self-government, and has shown that, entrusted with his own political destinies, and onincumbered by bad laws, he advances steadily an knowledge and true happiness. The doubts at first entertained of its adequacy to meet all the contingen cies which arise in the affitirs of nations, have been dissipated by experience. The practical operation of the governments of the States and of the Union, in ad vancing the welfare of the inhabitants of our extended and still extending country, demonstrate their utility. This is the result of that simple and natural organiza tion, founded upon the assent of the people, by which their sovereign will rules in their local affairs, is ex tended to the State governments, and by a happy coin bination gives direction to the government of the Union. Their competency to govern themselves is confirmed by the peace, happiness and prosperity, which their government has secured to the citizens of these States, and is an assurance that in their hands the welfare of all will be, as it has been, guarded and advaaced. Fettolo-Citiz ens of the Senate and House of Rep resentatives : —lt has not h en my purpose to enter at this time upon the consideration of part i cuter topics, which may more properly be reserved for other com munications. There is, however, one suhjectof such vital interest to the honor and well-being of the Com monwealth, as to challenge the very earliest expression of my views respecting it. I allude, of course, to the,,comiition of our public debt. If there is one distinguishing trait of character in our citizens, it is that of living within their means, and honestly paying their debts; and if there is one certain result in the working of our representative system, it is, that the character of the Government is identical with that of the people. By the application of this truth which is equally simple and certain, our duty under inisting circumstances, is rendered as plain as it is obligatory. The credit of nor State must be redeemed. We are urged to the performance of this duty, not only by our fidelity as representatives, but also by the principles of sound morality, by our honest pride as Pennsylvanians, and by our obligations to maintain and elevate the National character. I shall of course not beunderstood in these remarks as expressing any opinion on the question of the im mediate ability of the State Treasury to resume its pay ment of interest. The question is an extremely grave ono in its consequences, not to the creditor only, but to the future character of the State; and it requires for its safe decision a careful examination of our fiscal con dition, including our prospective income and liabilities, which I have not had the means of making. The con sideration of this whole subject will be among the earliest and most interesting of my official duties, and I shall hasten to submit to the Legislature the views to which it may conduct me. Meanwhile, gentlemen, I pledge myself to you, to the good people of the State, and all its creditors, that on my part nothing shall be undone, within the constitutional competency of the Executive to ensure the prompt, exact and full pay ment ofall the dues of Pennsylvania. I congratulate you, gentlemen, on the general pros perky of our constituents. It is impossible to look out upon our Commonwealth without recognizing our in dispensable obligations to the Author of All Good. A genial and healthful climate—a soil fertile of agricultu ral prodcnctions, yet pm-eminently abounding in min eral wealth—a hardy and intelligent population—agov ernment of the people themselves, that secures to in dustry, enterprise and skill their appropriate rewards: these, by his benignant care, have borne us up under concentrated trials, which might have crushed an older but less favored community. Let us be true to our that His blessing may aside with us. FRS R. SIIUNK. tVP'We find thefollowing paragraph in the New Orleans Picayune of Saturday. We have not receiv ed any papers of Friday, which contain later news from Texas. Louisville Journal. Gen Green and the Eaecative of Texas.—We have seen a private letter, written by a gentleman re siding in Galveston, who ought to be acquainted with political movements in Texas, which strengthen the rumor, mentioned by us yesterday, that Gen Duff Green had met with indifferent treatment from the Ex ecutive of the republic. It was believed by the writer that Gen. Green's ex (quainr had been revoked. Capt. Elliott. the British charge, arrived in Galveston from the capital on the 6th inst. He is reported to have said that Gen Green's difficulties with the administration are of a serious character, though he is silent as to what they really are. The Br itish charge and Mr Sal igny the French charge, are said to be in a joyous mood, at something or other that has transpired in the diplomacy between Texas and the United Statas,and both of these gentlemen have stated that annexation is impossible for three years to come. The source whence we have received these items of intelligence imparts great weight and authenticity to them. Something has' gone wrong. riPOne of the memorials presented to Congress from the West, milting appropriitions for the improve ment of the navigation of Western rivers, gives the fol lowing picture of the growing commerce of the Missis sippi Valley: It employs six hundred steamboats, having an ag gregate tonnage of 130,000 tons, and navigated by 31,000 men. These boats are not worth less than $10,400,000, and are navigated at an annual expense of $12,000,000, while the value of merchandise embarked in them is not less than $200,000,000 an• nually. INDIANA has now some 800,000 free inhabitants, cultivating a bounteous soil, capable of affording em ployment and plenty to ten times that number. Her wealth, which is rapidly increasing, cannot now be less than $150,000,000. Against this people, this wealth, there exists a Public Debt of some Fifteen Millions of Dollars, on which the annual interest is some $600,000. Wretchedly as herloans were squan dered on fragments of Public Works, those Works must be worth something, and might be made speedily productive by an honest, thrifty people. The inverted value of the Property of the State every three years would pay her whole debt. 1,4 V 0 Pic, In 20. INAUGURAL ADDRESS . /lam the N. Y. Comnsts • Aihmaieir • wag rains • me pootet ship OxfonklUdilla - . _. wed /out evening from Liverpool, wheat* shiatilid on the 18th• °Macomber. Our London papers - are to the 17th of :bar month, sad Liverpool to the 18th. The weather in England has been very severe,more so than for many past years. The Commanders-in chief at Porssmouth and Plymouth have been directed to send any small vessels they may have disposable - to the chops of the Channel, with water and provisions to relieve the homeward bound trade detained by contrary winds. The weather had been very cod throughout the North of Europe. The intercourse by steam with Holland, Belgium and Germany had ceased. There was even a probability that the navigation of the Thames would be impeded by the ice. The Queen, it appears, was making preparations to enjoy a sleigh ride, or as it is called in the London pa pers, "sledge driving." Some of the opposition papers are diverting them selves at the expense of Prince Albert and his ptize ox and pigs recently exhibited at an agricultural show, and pronounce the latter as in the "very last stage of apoplexy," at the time they were exhibiting. SCOTLAND—Nioeteen thousand pounds sterling have been subscribed for a College for the Free Church of Scotland, by nineteen individuals. Lord Jeffrey is said to be, under an anonymous signature, one of the nineteen. SIAM.—Some interraptien kas occurred to the ami cable relations between Great Britain and the King of Siam. The senior of a British mercantile house ha ported for the King a small steamer of 280 tens. On its arrival it astonished the good people not a little as it glided up the Mann w. The King however refused to take it on any terms to which the importer, a Mr H., could listen. The probabiltyis that the steamer with its smoking chim ney and glowing fire frightened rather than pleased his majesty, who wished to back out of the bargain. Mr H. growing impatient at the King's conduct is reported to have used threats, and the King decoyed him to the palace of the prime minister, where he de tained him until he consented to deliver up all the am munition on board the steamer. On Mr. H.'s refu sing to apologize, he was banished the Kingdom, and would proceed tc Calcutta to lay hie grievances before the general government. At Liverpool. on the 17th ultimo, a public dinner was given to Sir Henry Pottinger. In his reply to the complimentary toast, he entered at some length into the history and object of his negotiations with the Chi nese, and spoke in high terms of commendation of the Chinese commissioner, Key-ying, pronouncing him as an enlightened statesman, unsurpassed in any country in the world, and as a min feelingly alive to all the amenities of social life and displaying a high feeling and noble conduct. He expressed a hope that the English government would do justice to the com missioner's character and the character of the Chinese generally, by publishing his (Ke•ying's) despatches and letters Sir Henry Puttinger strongly urged the propriety of kindness and forbearance to the Chinese. Their hostility to intercourse with England grew, he thought, not from religious feelings, bin from an apprehension that it would be used for political purposes. He had no doubt Chios would soon come lot ward as one of the first nations of the earth. The extent of trade in China, especially in cotton and the manufacture of cot ton, will be unlimited. Sir Henry was also entertained at a public banquet in London, given at the Merchant Tailors' Hall.— The banquet was attended by members of the Cabi net, some of the most distinguished of the nobility, and all the principal merchants. On this occasion tie gave utterance to similar sentiments, and alluded to a ru mor, at one time prevalent, that there had been some mistake or important omission in the treaty as official ly confirmed. He made the following statements on that subject and in reference to the establishment at Hong Kong: A very erroneous impression went abroad. through, I believe some papers on the Continent, that there bad been some mistake committed in the treaty. That is quite incorrect. It arose from the necessity of mak ing public an abstract of the treaty, while the Chinese published the whole; and a translation was made with many important omissions. Having been asked seri ously whether there was any ground fir the allegation that mistakes had been committed, I am happy to say that there was no cause whatever for the alarm. The establishment at Hong Kong having been allu ded to, I feel it right, 013 this most public occasion, to say that I look upon Hong Kong still as the best posi tion for British enterprise. Unfortunately, it has been unhealthy; but there is nothing in its appearance or situation that should render it so, and those who would substitute Chusan for ir, are, in my humble co pinion, in error. Chusan is an island containing 60,- 000 inhabitants, and is situated in the midst of an ar chipelago containing at least 1,000,000 inhabitants, which it would be difficult at all times to prevent com ing into jealous and angry discussions with this country, while our own colony is sufficient fur all commercial purposes. The Merchants of Manchester were preparing to pay him the same tribute of respect, and nearly three thousand pounds sterling was contributed toward a fitting testimonial of their approbation of his services. The inhabitants of Belfast, Sir Henry's native town. contemplated a similar movement. THE STEAMER GREAT BRITAIN Trial of Speed.—The Great Britain was started with six revolutions only, at which she made ab.,ut 4 knots. On passing Pottishead, at 12 o'clock, the rev olutions were increased to 9i per minute, when she made 611,4; 10,1 revolutions gave a log of 7 knots; 104 revolutions a rate of 74 knots. The steam was kept at this point for some time, and then increased to 12 revolutions, when she gave 8 knots as her rate of speed. At this period, being then near the Holmes, the exper iment of turning her round with the helm hard down was tried. She came round in 9 minutes, making a circle of ra ther more than half a mile in diameter. She was then tried a second time, with the helm at only 30 degrees, when she came round in a must beautiful manner in on ly six minutes, and in a less distance. When going a straight course the stupendous mass answered her helm most readily, taking not more than one spoke of the wheel, and requiting only one man at it. In renaming homeward the 'timed of the engines was graduallyincreased to 13 revolutions, at which vhe gave si knots, and to 16 and 16i revolutions, when she went through the water at 11 knots, against a strung head wind, passing easily the Samson, the fastest paddle boat out of Bristol. At this rate of going the steam was cut off at the expansion valve at 1 foot, or one sixth of the stroke, six of the fires not havinv b been lit during the whole trip. The engines worked perfectly smooth and without the slightest variation or tremor being fen in any part of the vessel. The screw-propeller during these experiments was not fully immersed; the ship's water abaft being only 14 feet 6, and about 12 feet forward, and no doubt ex isted in the minds of those present versed in such matters, among whom was Mr. Smith, the patentee of the Archimedean screw, that upon the next experi ment, or when the revolutions of the engine are increa sed to 20 in a minute, a speed• of from 12 or 13 knots can easily be obtained. When the vessel was going II knots the screw-propeller was going only 12, ma king the slip or loss only one-eighth and a third per cent., which slip will of course be diminished when the screw-propeller is entirely immersed. When go iug at her best speed there was no swell whatever under the boughs, her stem cutting through the water just as the fastest Thames boats do. Meeting of A. Bishops. —His Grace the Arch ' bishop of Canterbury has announced his intention to summon a meeting of the Bench of Bishops, in copse , gnence of the unhappy schism which at present agi tates the Church of England, in order to deliberate and determine upon the rubrical observances to be enforced throughout the various dioceses of England, over which his Grace has jurisdiction. The issuing of the recent pastoral letter of the bishop of Exeter has caused fresh excitement among the laity, and a new source of em barrassment to the Church. It is, therefore, not at all improbable that an early day will be determined upon by their lordships, so that the feverish controversies relative to the gown and surplice, and the weekly Offertory, may be finally disposed of. It is currently reported, with some de gree of authority, that his Grace the Archbishop of Canterbury will, at the deliberation of the Episcopal beech, propose a conciliatory course to be pursued re lative to the observance of the ruble, so that a due re gard may be paid to the scruples of the laity relative to innovations in the church service which may give a/raft to tin .
