Resignation of Bishop Ives. Convention of the Protestant Kpiacopat Church in the Diocese of North Cro Una. Rome, Wednsda*-, Dec, 32, llo-. Dear Brethcrni Some of you, at least arc awarcthat for years,douts of tlie validit] of my oHiee as Bishop,have at times hnrras sed my inind, and enfeebled my action.A other times, it is true, circumstances hav arisen to overrule these doubts and t bring to my mind temporary relief. 13t It has been only temporary, for, in spite ?. resolutions to abandon the reading and ill Uso of Catholic books; in spite of earnei prayers and entreaties that Clod woul protect my min against the distressing ii Huence of Catholic Truth; and in spite 1 public and private professions and declari tions, which in times of suspended doul I sincerely made to shield myself fVoi suspicion and win back the confidence my diocese, which had been well nig lost?in spite of all this and of many otlr considerations which would rise up befoi mo, as the necessary consequence of st fering my mind to be carried foward the direction in which my doubts pointe these doubts would again return with i creased and nlmost overwhelming vig< goading me at times to the very bordc of derangement. Under these doubts, I desired temp rary relief from duties that had become disquieting to me, and determined accompany Mrs. Ives, whose health c manded a change of climate, in a six absence abroad. But absence lias broug no relief to nay mind. Indeed, the doul that disturbed it have grown into cle and settled convictions; so clear and scttl that, withont a violation of conscience ai honor, and every obligation of duty God and Ilis Church, I can no long remain in my position. I am called upon, therefore, to do ; act of sclfsacrifice, in view of which ; other self sacrificing acts of my life are h than nothing; called upon to sever t ties which have been strengthened by loi years of love and forbearance, which ha bound my heart to many of you, as w David's to that of Jonathan, and ina my heart bleed as my hand traces t sentence which separates all pastoral 1 lation between us, and conveys to y tho knowledge that I hereby resign in your h inds my olHce as Bishop of Nor Carolina; and further, that I am deteri ined to make my submission to the Cat olic Church. In Addition, (my feelings will allow r only to say) as this act is earlier th any perception of mv own, and antednt by somo months, the expiration of t time for which I asked leave of absen* and for which I so promptly receiv from members of your body an ndvar of salary, I hereby renounce all cla upon the same, and acknowledge mys bound, on an intimation of your wish, return whatever you may have advanc to mo beyond this '22d day of Deccmb With continued affection and este< I pray you to allow me to subscr myself.

We may talk as much as wo plei about modern improvements, includi steam and caloric engines, magnetic te graphs, and other wonder-working resu of human ingenuity; but there is nothi which can compare with the newsnnp in the variety and value of its uses; and few departments is it of greater iinportan to mankind than as a vehicle of adver sing.

To say the man was craz an and unruly on board the boat, is uoenrthl all excuse for thrusting him, uncrod-fo ?ss ashore. On the contrary, it gave additic he to the cruel act. If the officers had tl ng power and courage to put in chains ve mutinous hand on board their boat, tin as surely had the power to have rendert ke the ravings of a madman harmless.
