Exciting Ordination Scenb in thk Episcopal
liiuncii.—Eleven young men wore, tin Sunday or-
uiued hi Si. Stephen's church, by the Rev. Bishop
hwUvrdouk. Tho service was road by llie Rev.
)r. Berrien.and llio sermon was preached by tho
lidhop. Alter hedind concluded, tho eleven can.
lidates ntood around thoahar, when lie nttnouncud.
\a in customary, that he was about to ordain them,
mil requested that it" tiioro won? any person or por
ous who had any objections to make, or knew ought
£nin*t them, limy would now announce tho sumo.
K moment of silence cn»ued, when tho Rev. Hug;,
Smith (of St. Peter's,) rose it« tins middle aisle, and
gated that ho had by a letter yesterday informed
he Bishop that lie should protest against the ordimi-
ion of one of the candidates, Mr. Carey, in con^e
quenco of his holding opinions lavorahlo to Roman-
|sm ; and he did now according’)' protest. Whei
he s it down tho Rev. Mr Authun, of St. Mark -
chnrclt in this city, who h id been sitting in the sunn
pew with Mr, Smith, also rom.and in like manner
protested against the ordination of Mr. Carey, lor
tho same reason.
Bish »p Onderdonk stated tliat ho had reetdv. <!
the objections of tho Rev. gcnilomon, and had in
consequence appointed six competent and w or li\
persons to examine into tho charge which Imd hern
made against Mr. Carey and that they had unani.

that also was his own conviction, mid that lie shnu.n
proceed to ordain uil iho cundiates. lie then com
ineuced rending the prayers, nnd during the cere
mony Messrs. Smith and Autlio.i both ar ise ami

Ii is supposed that the objections to the ordinalim
of Mr. Carey arose from the idea that he held an

Important Surgical Operation.—Wo cmh
from the Lancaster Examiner, last week, uu inti
voting surgical operation, perforn e ! by Dr. do « I
Alice, of that city. We learn by tlio Union tu
Sentinel that on Thursday Iasi the snnm fiu>g. o
assisted by his brother, Washington L. Alice, m
the presence of several of tho most respoi
table physicians,operated upon a patient, who Im
for seven years been nfil'.cted with dropsy oi tl
ubdomen, for which the had been repeatedly tapped
which resisted nil medical treatment, and which
within the last year, it wns discovered, was camcc
by tl>e developement of Ovarian Tumors. The
operation cunsis.ed in extensively opening tin
abdomen, after removing twenty pounds ot wan r,
and extracting two sepnra'u tumors, weighing
two pounds. The Union says :
The danger and diflictilty of the operation mt»\
be estimated by the fact that within the last iwentx
years a loading Medical and Surgical Reviewer, in
Europe, has pronounced it impracticable—that lie
did not believe the operation had ever been success,
fully performed, nor would he. Should it succeed
in the above instance, and from the absence o:
nil unfavorable symptoms, we understand that tin
strongest hopes oreentertainnd. it will he the seventh
successful operation in the l died States. Tin
editor of tho North American Medical and Surgl.
al Journal, in reviewing the subject a few years
ago,says :—‘-As this operation is peculiuty Amen-
seldom, if ever, having been performed with
less, so far as \vc know in Europe,we are bound
to consider this as one of a series, which have un-
questionably done honor to our country. *
Strict Construction.—A politician in North
Curo.iun, in a recent speech, introduced the follow.
very clever story. Wo do not know hut it

Mr. Macon, on starting for (.'•

to the management of It s plantation during his ah
Bence, which he calculated would not he lungei
than May.
e item of the instructions was, that his shot j

seer obeyed instmotions to the letter, and tho oil’
gentleman when he came h'nnr.at a somewhat later
period then he luul expected, c-died for account m
his stewardship.

GENERAL SUMMARY.
Our shoot to-day necessarily presents less than
i s usual variety, in consequence of the Great Wes
tern having sailed so recently—three days ago;
hut it wlit lm found nevertheless to contain every
thing that has occurred in the interim worth recur,
ding. The debate in the House of Commons on
the Irish Anns Bill, on Friday night, wns one of
tin- most animated which has taken place during
the .session ; the policy of the present as compared
\i iih the late Government was reviewed by the
fiiends and opponents of each with more or less
success, and a good deni of acrimony. L »rd John
Russell's speech, in par.icular, was unusually
strong nnd pointed ; it has received a largo meed
of pmise from the party of which his lordship is the
recognised leader. Indeed at the moment, Ireland
absorbs tho exclusive attention of the statesmen
and pub ie writers of England. Mutters have conic
to a crisis no less rapid titan critical; but hither.

Thanks to Captain Claiuounk.—Tho Wldgol
Monday contained a well written—nay, a very well
written letter, {rom a Lunatic in the Asylum n»
Staunton, in which he returns his thanks to Cap
taut C aibornc, and through him to the Editor-
and others in this city, for tlie acceptable gilts ot
newspapers, tracts and pamphlets, which have been
sent to the Asylum hv Captain C.. for the Limit
tics. The Wltig also contains a letter from Dr.
ltd sending largo bodies of troops to subdue

thing to arrest it. But it is clear, from
slot's* lone, that their patience is exhausted.

nary tact. A luise or unfortunate move would
end In upsetting the ministry, and perhaps cotivuls.
iug the country. Great men rise with great occa-
-sions. It will ho seen erelong whether England’s
minister is equal to the emergency, not merely of
making Irolund pacific hut what is of far more con-
sequence ns regards the welfare of (lie empire at
large, rendering Iter contented. Various nro the
panaceas propounded lor that purpose ; Peel’s
clinic : will make or mar him as a stutesman. Mr.
O'C niucll declared, on Thursday, at the great
meeting a« Ennis, that the Government were more
disposed to conciliate than to coerce, und tlint if
they were picpured to sever the C.itirch from the
S..it i i Ireland, lie would meet thorn in “excellent
humor. ’ lie stated that Peel and the conciliatory
parly in the Cabinet had prevailed. In Loudon,
however, the belief is quite the other way, und that
thu I hike of Wellington’s recipe lor quieting the
Irish by force had lound the greatest number of
suppoi tors in the Cabinet, leaving Peel nnd thu mo.
derate party in u minority. Tnu i rnguago used hv
Lord {Stanley nnd Sir James Graham, during Fri*
day’s dc bate, in contradistinction to that of Sir Ro
bert Peel, is calculated to sttengthen the latter im.
pression. A little time, however, will decide the
question. The rent is expected this week to reach
the enormous sum of $3000 !
Rumors reached Paris at the end of the week
tliat Sv pa rtero and the young Queen of Spain had
lied from the capital. TIhj French Government is
accused of withholding the news from Snuiii for
purposes of its own, 'There was no truth in the
statement, though it is evident that the position of
E«pnrtcm is stiii critical. Nothing worthy of note
had occurred in Fiauco. Under the proper heads
w iil he found nil tliat is really interesting in the
continental news since the Great Western sailed.
SPAIN.
Tac Monitenr of Saturday publishes the follow
ing paragraph, in contradiction of the alarming re-
ports in circulation during the same days respect*
| ing Spain :
-It lias been reported that serious events had oc-
j curred at Mudris, and that tlie Regent had left that
j ci v, carrying w iih him 'ho young Queen. The
» G-tvcr.rr.ciit has received no information fumid).
I ing even a pretext for such rumors. According to
i s la-t reports, the principal contents of which have
been alien Iv published, the insurrection con inued
in Catalonia, Valencia, Malaga, and Granada, hut
no tit-snider, no new incident, had taken place in
Madrid, and the situation of the Government and
ol allhir.s are still the same.
Accounts from Madrid of tho afternoon of the
10th Mate that despatches had arrived in the morn-
iug, announcing (lint order had been restored at
Grumnln and Malaga. It appears that on the 7th
hiring, tone of defiance which the Irish leader now use*
awards the Rriindi Covcriimonl, in stronger color*
dinti any previous one.
Mallow was, on Sunday, the scene of the next dem
onstration, at which 400,000 persons are paid to Imvo
been present. Large bodies ol troops and police wen?
stationed in the neighborhood. The enormous multi
tude paraded m the streets in procession, and then pro
ceeded to an open space, whore .Mr. O'Connell deliver
ed ail address. Mr. O'Conneli dwelt much on N r Reb
ut Teel's u.-e of the Queen's t ame, and oil Lord Lynd-
hursTs assertion that the Irish were aliens in blood,
tangling? and religion.—
When ho hoard him say that they wern aliens in lan
guage, Iso replied that, talking the same language, tiio
taxons spoke it with a hissing ero iking lone, whilst the
Irish spoke it out fully from the heart, and gave the sig
nificance of cordiality to the words they uttered.
According to tho L tnerick Chronicle, the Lord Chan
cel or lias been advised to address a circular to every
individual magistrate in Ireland, demanding a categori
cal answer to the question ot Ins being a R-*pealer or
not, it being the determination ol government to leave
no magistrate in the commission of the pence who is
not of the same opinion and determination of her majes
ty and tho privy council on the impolicy and danger of
such a movement.” If this information ho correct, it is
absurd to suppose that any independent gentleman
would continue to hold the commission of the peace mi
the terms proposed in the foregoing statement.
COMMUNICATIONS.
No Party Men.—The following, from an arti
cle in the Democratic Review, knocks the two
stools from under the No Partv gentleman, and
lets them down thump on the floor.
“Your neutral man in politics is just tlm person
upon whom tho contempt of mankind may ho heap
ed without fear of injustice; the saliva of an honest
frco-lhoughted citizen is too precious an ointment
to bestow iqx ii him ; he is good for nothing, and
deserving of nothing ; the Greeks of old wore not
mistaken iu deriving from his case tin- word “Idi
ot ;” nnd yet such creatures go about like very
pictures of complacency, and, glorying in their
shame, boast that they are no parly men. 'They
may see rogues in places—tho wicked flourishing
like n green hay tree, and honesty and public vir
tue chilled to death in his shadow—but they nro
unmoved by the saddening spectacle, because they
are no party men.
“Poor snivelling creatures ! what n Inst of them

been in all ages of thu world thu surest props of
tyranny, and tho saddest oppressors of inuoccncn

“In our day they sec nothing in politics but a
brawling lawyer at a ward meeting, or a dirty-fac
ed voter nt the pells, with whose person they would
not bring their superfine dresses in contact, to save
the. country from disgrace. We have indeed seen
good professing Christians, men who have taken
degrees at colleges, well horn and respectfully con
nected, genteelly dressed ami free of d**bt, (and
these we believe are the titles of nobility ) who made
no scruple of urgirg as a reason for absenting
themselves from the polls, hecuuso thev were dis
gusted will) party warfare. They cry ponce!
peace ! when there is no pence. Thev shut '.hem.
selves up in their own houses, nnd loofisldv dream
that the* blast which levels tho dwelling of others
will pass harmlessly by them, because thev are so
quiet, nnd trouble themselves with nobody*® busi
ness hut their own. 'They are li*u al descendents
of that timid servant who wrapped his talent in ;v.
napkin, and hid it in the earth, lest he should lose it
nnd the reward of the timid servant will be theirs.”

political principles. The ‘-Lay of the Laud” is tlm
title of tlie article, and the writer commences tints :
'•The spectacle presented nt Washington is certain,

It is almost enough to turn the st unnch of an h<m-

J loiiu has not changed, and I will treat such mock-

vns for the I) -posite acf, distributing to the States

tiou,as outrageous, unconstitutional, and monstrous!

J him again ! After all these political summersets,
j lie sltl! says he is unchanged ! Can wo rely upon

We find in the Hartford (Conn.) Couratit. copi
ed from Litchfield Enquirer, a letter from Wil
liam Miller, tho mtlieuoiuii) or end of thu world
man, to “Brother Hines,” one of tho sub.agents
in that mighty movement. Miller says ho i.s gett-
iug bettor, having nt that tin o only “twenty.two
biles from tho bigness of u grape i<> walnut, on his
shoulder, side, buck, and arms.” He says ho is as
hud olf as old Job, and has pretty much the .same
kind of comforters,except tliut his (Miller*.-) com-
fort era do notnrguc half as rntioul'v as J h's. Mr
Miller wnnts very much t«> see “Brother B|is<.”
‘ I hope (says Miller) tliat ho is right ab.iut termin
ation of the periods, liiit I think not.” Ho then
goes on with u rigmmd:! of quotations from scrip
ture, and closes by calling upon Brolliurs limes and
Biiss to toll him what they think «»l his “scribble
upon this point,” nnd giving it as. his opinion that
the •'glorious appearing” will not take place till af
ter the autumnal equinox. “A lew months more
of trial and calumny and all will ho over. 1 wish
I coil’d sec you once more, but do n<»t leave your
work to gratify me : mine I expect is done. 1 am
ashamed to write to any but you, brother llim.**.”

Speeches of John C. Calhoun.—As soon as wo
saw a notice of this publication by the Harpers, wo
sent an order to Savannah fora copy. We could not
understand the motive that could have prompted a po/t-
tical disciple of Mr. Calhoun to publish at tins time
such a compilation ; lor it is the prim Try object of his
followers, to bury the past in oblivion, and it possible, to
Ibrgct the heresies of this eccentric genius, on those
vexatious subjects, a Tariff a National Bank, and /«•
tenuil Improvements. We therefore concluded it was
h labor of love,on the part of some admirer of the nrt-
vate virtues, and splendid talents of the “cast Iron
man,” and that a full compilation ot his speeches would
he luriiishedthe public. The book is now belore us;
and as emasculated a production as was ever imposed
upon a community; it is in fact the play of JIarnlel,
with the character of Hamlet omitted. It purports to be
a collection of speeches from tho year tell, to ilio-
present tune, selling forth the political opinions of tins
distinguished Statesman upon all the political quo?,
tious that have agitated the country ; and yet there is
hut one speech delivered in 1911 published, nnd not a
single speech given iu the compi atMUi. during the long
and eventful interim from 1811 to 1832: during whirl*
per.ml his speeches in tavor of a VnUectiue Tariff, a
National Bank, and Internal hnpunentents were deli
vered ; and all of which have been carefully omitted m
this publication. The book is a good cheat, a mere
electioneering ruse, designed for the {Southern Market.
Wc hope Horace Grcely of the New York Tribune,
or some of the enterprising publishers of such kind of
works, w ill give us a full ami perfect edition of Mr.
Gnlhouu'a speedier—and an edition would go well
here with friends uml i<h!h. Id the mean tune, the De
mocracy may makegoodu*n of this carefully revised
compeud for their electioneering purjMwy—they can
procure it of Mr. Boardman-
; again. Oppos'd l»y education, by locality, by
j interest to the South, and vet he is so liberal und ex
pansive in liis puriotisn, that ho is tv “ Northern

American j» ople ? Would lie have thought a man
who hid a heart to feel for the South, nnd a head to

wants of the whole nation. I will d'smiss him from

Henry Cloy, of Kentucky, “the true patriot, the un
rivalled orator of the age,” The report of his faun*
and honesty, his love of liberty and his opposition
to corruption iu high places, has taken the " wings
of the morning, and dwells in tho uttermost parts
of tho earth.” liis < loqncnce, his God-like elo
quence, shall be the song of the school b .y, while the
ocean tolls hoi billows to thu shore, or time tells
out her hasty journey to eternity ! Wito dont ad.

challenges proof ofliis change ; nnd the exci ption,

they never suw the necessity of employ*
ing a jury. Such un agent as tin Eu-iish or Amer
ican jury, has at no period fwtitjJ much favor on the
continent of Europe ; and at litis day. it is believed
to have no existence except iu thu British Isles, and
those countries which now ure, or once were Brit-
isli Colonies.
li is foreign to tiio purpose of these remarks, to
institute an enquiry into the abstract or intrinsic
value of jury inula—to assert or to deny that tho
\uw s of any country can he as well administered
with, us w ithout tiie aid of a jury. We the people
of Georgia have been too long accustomed to it, to
ciitcrtum serious tliouj hts ol abolishing it; hut wc
may well entertain serious doubts w hether wo have
such jury institutions us do at tins time, effectually
subserve the purposes of justi c.
The whole Judiciary system of Georgia (if sys
tem it can be called) is an anomaly—indeed it is
matter of wonder tliut a people distinguished for
their acuteness, and on some occasions, for spirit
and loftiness of hearing, should so long have toler-
uted a thing so notoriously inadequate to the great
ends f'orw ltich wc may suppose it to have been estab
fished. That among all the deformities of this des
picable piece of patchwork, which wo call our Ju
diciary, that which hears tiie most grim nnd omi
nous aspect, is a jury fur the trial of high crimes
and misdemeanors. if a committee of arch
knaves, with Ahrum Collins Chairman, had been
instructed to draft such rules for the organization
of a jury ns w ould most certainly ensure the acquit
tal ui lelons, they could hardly have accomplished
a more perfect work titan wc have now incorpora
ted in our penut code.— It authorizes the sheriff of
the county, un officer who, unfortunately of late
years, is seldom distinguished by probity of charac
ter or fidelity to tho Laws, to go forth and sum
mon, at liis own discretion, a panel, out of which the
jury of twelve is to he made up ; hut he is absolute
ly forbidden to summon a man, who has intelli
gence and character enough to be placed on tho list
of Grand jurors. Good sense, high moral charac
ter, mid dignity uf standing, nro by our laws deem-
ed absolute disqualifications of a juror for the trial
of a culprit, charged with murder, arson or theft—
hut no objection lies, on the ground of ignorance,
infamy and consequent degradation of character,
indued tho lute practice of the courts, has demon
strated, tliut these vile attributes are regarded as
special recommendations to this functionary of
judicial justice.
'Tiie Snuriirhaving ushered into the presence of
the court such a crowd of worthies ns he may have
chosen to pick up on the highways and bye ways
of the county ; then commences a course of pro.
ceudiitg on the part of thu prisoner’s counsel, that
gives the. lie flatly to every thing that lias been
said *»r written in commendation ol the trial by jury.
Every mail whoso name i** on the panel, is in
Lawyer pit rase put on his noire dire, und is u.-kud
the meltably impertinent question “whether ho bus
formed and expressed un opinion touching the guilt
or iinn.cence of the prisone r at thu Bar.”—To
this question, an affirmative answer is assumed 11
he conclusive evidence ofliis (lUquniificalion ; ami
the most virtuous and intelligent citizen of the coun
ty, may, und in most instances would he dismissed,
under lire implicit judgment olTim court, tliat he
cannot safely be trusted with thu duties nnd pow-
orsofu petit juryman. What an insult to tint
feelings of a worthy man ! How disgustingly sub-
versive of every principle and every formula, that
common sense mid plain reason would employ for
currying intooxeculion the pen dlnwsofthecountry!
And for wiiut pretended object is this worse than
jesuitieal mummery practiced, consuming as it often
does, whole days of the term? Tiio pretended oh-
ject is ail impartial trial—hut the real purpose, is
the acquittal of the culprit, hv tho instrumentality
of n corrupted jury.
And is this thn Georgia method of ndiitini-t» , ring
her laws ! It wns not practiced in former tim*-.s—thir
ty -livo years ago, thero was «n»t a Judge, Lawyer,
nor respectable citizen of any class in this Stale
who would not have hoe.: overwhelmed witli as-
tonLhincut at tiie exhibition ol such an odious
mockery of judicial trial, Tne trial by jury was
then h.dfed, the palladium of civic rights ; if it is
not low, it may soon become no better than tho
shield of guilt—tit once the Snunie ami the Curse of
