IN many day. BY this statement it appears that
there was In Allentown batch of $S2, $40 in Plain

ot the Lehigh Bank in the latter end OF December,
besides check OF $35 900 on the same bank. We

BISHOP ORp.RDoNK AGAIN I'VE understand
that preparations are making to get up another pre-
sentiment against Bishop Onderdonk, and to try
him on number of fresh charges, similar to those
on which he was lately convicted. This move
ment has been originated, we believe, in conse-
quence Of the position assumed by the I" Standing
Committee" of the Diocese, who MAINTAIN that, al
though the Bishop cannot any longer lay hands on
heads-we didn't mean bosoms-he is still in
state Of suspended animation-tbat his place can
not be supplied for the present, and that they are

They do not mention, however, whether they

tmation of this, and general allusiop to the spe-
clfications, is given in another pamphlet, by the
Rev. Mr. Richmond, which is quite a curiosity,
almost equal to the first one in wildness, enthu-
siasm, and episcopal romance. We do not know
how far pecuniary speculation enters into this new
movement; but as the Appletons are said to have
cleared at the first brush over $40 900 by the late
trial, the greatest portion of whose profits thus
went into their pockets, instead of falling into the
hands OF the church, it is not all unlikely that the
desire to clear another $4,000 or $1,000, may
have something to do with the movement for an
other trial. Success to enterprise


LIcENTIousNEss OF THE PREss-John Tyler, Jr.,
the son of the President, through the Madisonian,
pronounces story, which was first published in
the Ne,c York Sun, and probably written by its
principal penny-a-liner, M M. Noah-about the
President having saved $500, 900 out of his salary
to be base and infamous falsehood in all ite
bearings. This is specimen of the licentiousness
of the press. Another is presented in the story JUS
circulated by Blair IL Rives, of the Washington
Globe, to the effecthat Mr.. Webster had been pur-
chased and retained by the manufacturers OF
Boston, with fee of 100000 to plead their cause
in the United States Senate. We have no doubt


this is another base and malignant lie, and perfect


y characteristic Of the partzan press of both par

Itwould, indeed, seem that the party newspaper
press, during the last political campaign had been
so sunk in depravity and icentiousness, fcly and
absurdiy, forgery and fraud, and every thing that


is vile, that it is now almost impossible for it ever


to recover any decent regard for TRUTH consistency
or hberaty. Look for instance, at the gross and


outrageous assaults upon the private character OF
poor Mr.. Willis by the Courier and Enqwtrer
