BISHOP GEORGC AM) TUB VOFNG PKKACUBR. An aged traveller, worn nml weary, was gently urging on Him titeii bead, just as the sun was dropping behind the range ot lulls that bound* the horizon of that rich and pic turesque country, in the vicinity of Spring field Ohio, It wa* a sultry August evening, and lie had journeyed a distance of thirty five mile* mnee morning, Ins pulse throbbed under tlie influence of a burning sun. A' Ksirficld he had been hospitably cnicriaiiied, by one who had recognised the veteran soldier of the cross, and who had ministered to him lor Ins Master’s sake, ot tho benefits himself had received. From the hiiin) which feedeth lie young lions when they lack ; and he had travelled on, refreshed in spirit, 11. it many a weary mile had he jounived over since then, and now ns the evening shades darkened around, ho fell the burden of ago and toil heavy upon him nml he desired the plcasent retreat he had pictured to himscll when that day's pilgrimage should be accomplished. It was not long before the old man checked his tired animal at the door of the anxiously looked lor haven of rest. A middle aged wo man wss at h ind, to whom he mildly applied for accommodation for himself and horse. • I don't know," sa d she. coldly, alter scru tinizing for aoiim time the appearance ot tho traveller, winch was tint the most promising "that we can lake you in,old man, Vou seem tired however,and I’ll sue it the minister ol I tic circuit, who is here to-night, Will let you lodge with I in .’ The young preacher soon made log appearance,and consequentially swagger ing op to the old min, examined him some moments inquisitively! then asked a lew im pertinent questions, and tin a ly alter adjust ing h:s hair half a dozen times, feeling Ins smoothly shaven chin, connmlcd that the stranger should share hts lied fur the rigid, and turning on h s heel outere t the home. The traveller, ngcJ and weary as ho was dismounted an I led Ins faithful animal to the stable, where with his own hands, ho rubbed him down, watered him and gave Inin food, mid tlinii entered tins inhospitable mansion where he had expected so much kindness. A Methodist family resided in the house, and a* the eurcuil preacher was to be there ibit day, great preparations were made to entertain liim, and a number of mntkodist young Indies of the neighborhood had k*‘«m invited, so that q nte a party met the eyes of us he entered, nut one of whom loo.t the slightest notice of him, and In' wearily sought a vacant chair in the corner tint of direct observation, hut where he could note all that was going on. And Ins anx ious eye showed that ho was no earless üb scivcrof what was transpiring around him. The young minister played Ins parish nil the fnvoltv and foolishness of a oily beau, mid nothing like religion escaped Ins lips. Now he was chattering and liniidymg senseless compliments with this young Indy, mid now engaged in trilling repartee with an other, who was anxious to seem interesting in bit eyes. Tli* stranger, after nn hour, dining which no ■refreshments hint been prepared lor him, asked to lb* shown to bis room, to which be retired unno nieeil—grievsd mid shocked at the conduct of the family and the minister. Taking from Ins sad dle bugs a well worn blble, he seated himself in a chair, and Was soon bin led in thoughts liolv end elevating, and bud tood to eat which thus* who paused him by in pity and scorn, dreamed not of. Honrs passed away, and no one mine to invito I lie old worn down traveller, to partake of the luxurious supper which was served below. Towards eleven o’clock the minister enme up stairs, slid without pause nr prayer, hastily threw ofl'his clothes, and got into the very middle of n small bed, which was to ho the resting place of the old man us well as himself. After a will u tho aged stranger rose up and niter partially dis toliing himself, knell down, and remained lor sometime in fervent prayer. The earnest breath ing out of bis soul, soon aitested the attention of Ilia young preacher, who began to feel some few reproofs of conscience lor hts own neglect of bis duly. The old man rose from bis knees, and al ter slowly undiessing himself, got into bed, ut ruther upon the edge of the lied, for the young preacher bad taken possession of the cenlio nml ■would not voluntarily move an inch. In this ■uncomfortable position, the young preacher made a remark, to which the old man replied in a svle and manner that arrested his attention. On this he moved over an inch or two and made more room. ‘How far have you come to Jay, old genllu an in!’ Thirty five miles.’ ‘Whcie from!’ 'Springfield. ’ •Ah, indeed. Vou must be tired after so long a journey, for one of your age.' ‘Yoe, lliis pour old body is much worn down, hy long Slid constant Havel ling, and I feel dial the journey of the day has oihausied me much. 1 The young minister moved over a little. •Vou do not belong to Springfield ihcnl' •No. 1 have no abiding place.' •How’’ •1 have no continuing city. My homo is be yond this veil of tears.’ Another move of iho minister •How tar have you travelled on your present join nay!’ •From Philadelphia.’ •From Philadelphia! (In evident surprise.)— The Methodist General Confiireneo was in ses sion there a abort time since. Had it broken iq when you let’ll "It adjourned the day before 1 stalled!' •All, indeed!’ —moving slid tardier ove’r to wards the front side of tho bed, and allow ing the stranger better accommodation. Had Bishop George left when you came out!’ •Vos—lie sta'ted at the same time I did?—we !nfl in company!' lndeed!' •Here the circuit preacher relinquished a full half of the bed, and politely requested die slran gei to occupy a larger spare. ‘How did ibe Bishop look. He is gelling quite old now and feeble is he mil!' •Ho fairies lus age loleiably well. But bis tabor is a hard one. and he begins In show signs oi failing strength.' •He is expected this way in a week or two— How glad 1 shall he to sli ike tr tiuls with die old vetraii of the Cross!

Not Bishop George 1 •They cat! me Bishop George,’ meekly replied the old man. •Why—why —bless me! Bishop George— x claimed the now abashed preacher—springing fram his bed — ‘I'uii hiivc hull r.j tnpper. 1 ’ 1 will instantly cab up the family.

He did not act thus from j resentment, such an emotion did not reign in his ' brail, but he deaiie I to teach them a lesson such i as they would not v-asly forget, Mix months from this time the Ohio Annual i Conference met at Cincinnati, ami the young I minister was to present himself lot »rd;; lß nnn as a Deacon; and Hisliop Geo gc was to bo tho pre " > nj U.snop. On ilia first day of the assemblage of tho con , ferronce, our minister's heart sunk within as he saw the venerable Hiahop take his seat. So great was his grief mil agitation that hu was soon ob liged to leave the room. That evening, as the 1 Uisbnp Jwas sealed alone in his chamber, the Uov.

He grasped the young i man by the hand with a cordiality which he did j not expect, for he had made careful enquiries, and found since they had met before a great change hid been wrought in him. He was now ns humble ami pious as ho was before worldy minded. As h farther would have received a disobedient hut repenant child, so did this man , receive his erring hut couliilo brother. They J mingled their tears together, while the young , preacher, wept as a chid, upon the bosom of his ' spiritual further.

Sir —Ina hasty postscript lo my last written as the express messenger was leaving, 1 informed you that Navy Island was last night to ially evacuated by the Patriot army, with all the anther;, and ammunitions of war. Flic weather was most lav rable. It came on dusk, with a 1 drizzling rain, and the movement commenced ut dark, and continued without interruption till midnight, when every man hud disembarked without the sltgh est interruption. Tho British batteries were throwing shell, but no one min ded them. No steamboat came down. They inovd in their own boats, crossed Grand Island tv> Whitehaven, fsce map) there to embark, for some point up tho Lake; 1 have yet to learn where. Previous to s.ailing, they sent a scow to Bch loaser with M pieces of artillery, must of wbclt belong to the Stales. A scow on Niagara river is an awkward thing lo manage, and uolliing prevented the men and cannon going over the lalls but a stiff bteeze which suddenly sprung up m that direction. The men hoisted the.r bian keis, and thougu they had floa’.cJ far down the stream, were able to make headway against it. Now the war will commence in good earnest . and Ido not fear the tesiilt. The patriot army 1 ts not less than 1500 in number, some say 2500 —1 mean those from Navy Island. 1000 will join them in the west, and an auny of 5000 mm will , -vc assembled aroflnd the tri-colored, twin s t» ..1 uanr.er in less than a fortnight, to oppose • Outfit's 1 bar some 100 regular tr .ops, ' I about the tS'.nc number of'lrish Orangemen, and a iJrailed and pressed militia, who, upon the ■ first opportunity, will join tho patriot standard. This is the bright side of the picture. Perhaps I am too sanguine—lime will show. When Me. Nab heard of the Assembling of 1 wagons at Schlossnr, he sent a large portion of hia foice down f north) to Queenslon, while the patriot army have gone in the opposite direction. I believe there is no force in the west to oppose them. Ohio and Michigan will pout in volun teers.

Important from the Michigan Frontier. 'i'lie following letter, from a source of the fust tespoctability at Detroit, conveys the particulars of important events which ha«o just transpired in that quartet, in reference to the revolt in Can ada. Wo have here the development ol plans which have been heretofore occasionally hinted at in the accounts that have reached us from Buf falo : DETROIT, Jan. 7,1838. Our ci'y fur the last three days has been in great confusion in consequence of the extensive plan of invading Canada by certain refugees and o hers having hecn discovered. Nothing ol the movement was known save that meetings had been held and resolutions passed, bum was thought the matter would stop there, it has turned out differently, lor on Thursday night all the Slate arms in our city Arsenal were secretly taken away; on the same day four bun. tired stand wctc openly seized at Monroe, and on the succeeding night our jail was robbed of all the arms and fixed ammunition which had been deposited there for safe-keeping. Tire next morning a vessel with about 800 stand and about lUO men departed from our wharves fur Bois Blanc —a Bittisli Island dislanr | I‘J miles lienee, am. oppus Ic Malden, at the junc lion of the River Detroit with Lake Erie. At tempts were also to have been made upon our city ! powder magazine at Dearborn, which were ftus- I tralcd by a guard being despatched from the city | m lime. Besides these daring operations, supplies have I been purchased and sent down to Bois Blanc— | subscription papers circulated,and now contain ing 10U0 names—Commissioners from Navy Is land tendered and accepted—enrolments of about seven hundred men made in tho dilfurent counties on the River—regular drills held—and, to cap the climax, a Sutherland from New York >s hourly expected with a force from Cleveland to arrive at Gibraltar, 16 miles hence—thu point of rendezvous—and to lake command of all the ibi ces. As Bois Blanc overlooks Malden, and has up on it the remains of an old breast work, thu Pat. tint, design making it a depot, and intend, after leaving thereon a guard, to attack Malden, pro | cc.cd to Sandwich and London, and effect a junc -1 lion with Mackenzie at Hamilton, Upper Canada. All thu operations have been conducted with efficiency and secresy,and as there are many dis : affected on the proposed route, there is some fea sibility in the plan. We think they filial least lake Malden if they try. From the number of men engaged, the amount |of money expended, and the concert of action { shown in this enterprise, we conclude that some i ahl ■ head is at work. Governor Mason issued his proclamation three or four days ago, but it was disregarded. Yes. ; terday the U. S. District Attorney despatched a | steamboat with the Marshal and posse after the J schooner, but they were defied and threatened I with the contents of an eighteen pounder if they j approached nearer than hailing distune* . Our citizens held a public meeting and passed j result lions expressing their disapprobation of the i Patriots’ measures, and organized a guard of 100 men for the protection of the town, which was then without any arms save those of one volun teer corps, and liable to he plundered of its stores by the Patriots, or fired on by the Royalists on the b ’posilo side of the river. Upon tu* return of the Marshal, a requisition for arms vas maud upon General Brady, U. 8. A. which was granted. from D. arborn were uiJffn-ht in,and an enrolment or *6O citizens made to seize the Schooner if found wi'hirt our juV'is dietion. Wo think however, she has reached ' her point of destination ere this. The Patriots have a largo body of men at Gl- [ Imllar, destined t» co-operate with the vessel above alluded to, and to-morrow morning we may j expect tho grand movo to be made upon thu I town of Malden. I have thus given you some of the details of j an enterprise which, however much we may j sympathise with the Canadians, is a most flagrant violation of neutrality and national faith. That all these enrolments should have been made —arms taken —men drilled—and this whole machinery of war put into operation—without tho knowledge of our police, is a matter which our Government will find it exceedingly difficult to explain to the satisfaction of the British nation, and should that people make reprisals or surprise our toast by a cannonade, an impartial judge would deem the retribution just. P. S, Monday •Morning', Jan.

Correspondence of the Acw York Herald. Kxcitement in Boston —Commonwealth and other broken Bunks, —Middlesex Bank—,i row anticipated. Bostok, Jan. 16, 1938' We arc in a state of great uneasiness'and fee verish excitement, t-iuco the failure of the Commonwealth Bank, and the upsetting ofsome halfa dozen hitherto supposed wealthy individu als the public have felt that not only the Common wealth. hut most ol the Boston Banks are insol vent. There are many circumstances which have fi d them to this opinion. One or two 1 will mention. 1. Tho Commonwealth Bank is one of tho ol dest in the Stale. The confidence of the people in that institution was unbounded. Many ru mors have been put in circulation from time :ime about other banks touching their solvency hut the name of the Commonwealth, was neve mentioned. It was considered as firm as the •Evcilasting Hills ’’ 2. When tLe failure of the Common wealth t was known, the different banks in the city woultl not, in many instances, receive any bills, (exeep- j ling their own) on deposiio, or in payment of ( notes. The ‘'Slate bank” which belongs to the , "Associated Hanks came out and pave a list of Sixteen different Hanks, whose bills they -would \ not recejye, .. . 3. The banks were many of them sued, and their specie attached. All classes were ( seen going to and fro with their hands full of rags, in order to obtain "the better currency brokers asked ten per cent for specie, and re ceived it in exchange fur rags 1 You are aware that we have an “Associa tion” of the different banks, for the purpose of sustaining the whole of the Boston banks. The association was formed immediately after the suspension of specie payments. Since thattime, however, three of the Boston "As sociated Banks" have failed. Knowing that New York is flooded with small bills of Bos on banks, my immediate ob ject is to make known, through your judicious journal, the banks which are insolvent. 1 wish that your numerous readers would bear in mind the names of the “lame ducks” which are insolvent. Lafayette Bank. Fuanklin Bank. Commonwealth Bank. Chelsea Bank. Naiiast Dank. The Suffolk Bank, which is considered the “cock of the walk,” has decided that the Middlesex Bank is down. How that is, 1 do not know—but— -1 would urge the New Yorkers not to keep many of the Boston rags on hand, for if Bos \ tomans have no confidence in them, why should the New Yorkers ? | Last evening there was a large collection in I State street, before the Commonwealth Bank. ' It was expected that (here would be a serious 1 riot. A ‘man was despatched to the Navy j Yard, for the purpose of having a company of i marines ready at a warning—when the bell j on Brattle street should toll; but nothing was then done. How soon there will be remains i to be seen. Again, 1 say to the readers of “Bennett’s Herald”—Beware how you take Boston rags. Yours truly, C. H. . ■ «■— ,ii ii ■■■■■wwf'i— ■■■; COMMERCIAL.
