Gregory, under tbe guardianship of several trustworthy cltixena. Hia Excellency, Governor Ward, has been applied to for a requisition for tbe body of Mr. Drew, bnt be declined to interfere, on the ground that it was a civil case. One of ths many reports In circulation ia that Mr. Vanderbilt Is about to attempt a flank movement, by opening an office Jast beyond the New Jersey line, and with a corps of assistant! and all the necessary appurtenance, will proceed to direct the buiinsss of the road the same as if there was so office in Jersey To add to the excitement ths lenders of money are doubtful whether they can safely lend on Erie shares.

To set thla question at rest the following letter baa been published: New Toax, March 14, 1848. Dear Sir I have considered your inquiries concerning tbe large number of certificates for share! in ths Erie Railway Company recently issned, bearing date ou or between the 8d and 7th days of March inet. Tbs legality of these issues is disputed, snd ths officere and directora who participated therein may be compelled to redeem ssid certificates. It is not qnestioned, however, but that said certificates are valid and binding as between the company and the holder thereof. In view of pending litigation, and for the present, I deem it advisable that such certinceles should not be surrendered for new certificates, but should contlnne In their existing form.

am, dear sir, yours respectfully, (Signed) C. O'CoMoa. To Robert Cutting, Esq. Tbe Church of the Transfiguration, ia Twenty-ninth street, waa crowded to-day long before the hour named for the Bishop's admonition of Rev. Mr.

Tyng. The clergy, laity and ladles Interested In the proceedings thronged the church. The front teats were reserved for the Standing Committee of the Diocese and the members of the court. At twelve o'clock Bishop Potter, accompanied by Rev. Dr.

McVickar, Rev. Dr. Eigenbrodt, Rev. Dr. Dir.

Rev. Dr. George H. Houghton, Rev. Dr.

Hoffman, Rev. Messrs. Hoilingworksnd Moore, entered tbe chancel. The Biahop delivered bis admonition, which was vsry long, and partook of the nature of an argument, reviewing tbe entire ease. Rev.

Dr. Tyng went forward and handed Bishop Potter a protest, which be waa not permitted to read, but which was as follows: To ths Right Reverend Horatio Potter, D. Bishop of the Protestant Episcopal Church In the Diocese of New York Right Reverend has been yonr pleasure to "approve" of the "findings" of this court of presbyters, snd you hsvenow administered tbe sentence of "admonition' "recommended" by them against ti respondent. This is your own aci and your own responsibility. Stephen H.

Tyng, D. a presbyter of the Protestant Episcopal Church in the Diocese of New York, and Rector of St. George'! Church, in the city of New York, and one of the counsel for tbia respondent, do most respectfully but firmly enter my solemn protest againat this whole proceeding, now completed, from its commencement to its conclusion, ss false in its allegations, nniust in its principle, nncanonical in Its form, Illegal in its transactions, iniquitous in its purpose sad voluntarily and persistently persecuting in Its spirit, process and development. And I do solemnly appeal from this decision of this conrt, and from this approval thereof, by the Bishop of this Diocese, under tbe moat earneat sense of the cruel Injustice witb which this respondent his been treated, to the supreme and final decision of the General Convention of tbe Protestant Episcopal Church in the United Stales; to the abiding sense of Justice and righteousness ia tbe individual members of this church to ths conscientious review of the Christian Church throughout this land; to the record of future historic truth; to generations of advancing light and religions purity and power, which aaay corns hereafter; and, withllbe deepest humility, bnt with confidence nnfelirned. to the judgment seat of tbe Lord THE ERIE RAILWAY QUARREL Jlte Treaearer evnd Directors Tallin Befoa-e la New eraey Perllena Ptwt( Aerosa the North River Appointment ef av Receiver.

Jrem (As JV. Y. Evening Pott ef faturdau. The Erie Railway' qnarrel ia Increasing la Intsrsat, and assuming a somewhat romantic turn, Tbe officers have not only shaken off tbednst of New York Area their feel, and removed to hospitable New Jsr-ey, bat la doing to, two of tbe director! tan a great risk of rosing tbeir lives last nigh. It wit announced la oar columns yesterday that warrants had been Issued for the arrest of (he ftffl-certof the road, and that Ga.

Siren had been ar. rented. Tbe warrants were placed la the hands of officers, and detectives were placed at the ferries to prevent tbe officer from cross! eft to New Jereejr. Mr. Drew and hit friends were constantly kept in-formed ef the movement of tbe opposition, and at even o'clock word was cent to Messrs.

Oonld and Fiek at Del.nonico's tbat warrants had been leased for tbelr arrest and of tbe precaution! takta to prevent their escape from tbe city. The gentlemen immediately called a carriage and drove down to the pier of the People's Line, foot of Canal street; There they found a new row-boat, jnit painted, wblch was Immediately launched, and Messrs, Oonld and Fiske started acrnes the river. They had rone bnt a few rods when they encountered a heavy fop, which was so dense that they could not proceed, and tried to return to the dock. They then heard the plashing of a ferry-boat in the water, and called lor the approaching boat to stop. Tbe engine was reversed, and the Hoboken boat'atwiwi stopped within twenty feet of the row-boat.

The small 'boat bavin cot out.of the way of ths fsrvy boat started forward again, ai the occupants supposed, bnt it appears that thev hail rowed rennd In snd In a few minntes found themselves alongside ol the Desbrosces street ferry boat. Tbsy made themselves heard by the men on the boat, and a line was thrown to the ferry boat The Deabrosees street ferry bost started forward, with tbe small boat In tow, hot was soon compelled to back water" to avoid another ferry boat in frost of her. Tbe situs-tion of (Users, Oonld and FUke again became critical, and they bad to climb op on the ferry boat to scape being run down. They were then landed safely at Jersey City, sed sre bow comfortably flxed at Taylor's Hotel. They were about two hours and a halt OS the water.

To-day Daniel Drew. J. Gould, John 8. Eldrldge, Henry Thompson and Mr. Fiaks are at Taylor's Hotel, where they will remain at present, and manape tbe affairs of the Erie Railway.

They are constant! informed ef the movements of Iheir opponents, and are prepared for any emergency. They express great confidence in the coarta of New Jersey, and do not fear molestation. it -s If they remained In this city their position wonld kavebsen very embarrassing', as Judge Barnard has leaned sa Injunction reelrainine them from acting as officers of the Erie Railwav, whils Judfres Gilbert and Baleom have issued injnnctions compelling the directors to act, so thst whatever action they took they wonld be liable to arrest for contempt of coart. Thev positively object to appearing before Jndge Barnard, alleging tbat be is Indirectly interested In the stock. Thev express the utmost confidence in Judge Bslcom, of Blnhamgton, and say that be onrht to decide the cjnesiions at issue.

Thev are also willing that the case hould be taken before" the United Stales conrU for adjudication, and allege that the opposition dare sot do this. It is further said that the present charges against If r. Drew are for acts performed before tbe present board of directors came into power, and that the quarrel never wnald have tegn a bnt for the wide range combination between this city and Chicago, This last combination waa made necessary by tbe violation of a former agreement made with the Lake Shore road to treat the New Tore Central and the Erie en the same footing. It Is isid that this agreement was broken by the Laks 8hore road In ths interest of tbe Central road. It was then fonnd necessary to make a broad gange connection with tbe West, and a favorable arrangement was made witb the Atlantic and Great Western, and other roads, complete a wide ran us line to Chicago.

It Is claimed tbat by this comoiuation tbe Erie road would give a monopoly of the western travel, and that the smears of the Central road wish to break np tbia connection, so as to retain monopoly of this business. The officers nf the Erie road lay that they have the Sympathy of Western roads, and to-day received tele-frame from Buffalo and other points informing them that Weatara travel will come over tbe Erie road. The gentlemen above-named will remain In Jersey City and manage tbe Erie Railway, determined that it snail not fall into the hands of a monopoly. They will not only contlnne the wide-gauge extension to Chicago, bnt a aurvev has been made for an extension the track from Buffalo to Suspension Bridge, and another line of direct communication to tbe West. It ia also proposed to "build a large and commodious ferry bouse at the foot of Twenty-third street, so a to accommodate person livlnr np town.

The quarrel thus far seems to have nerved Mr. Drew and bis friends with renewed efforts to retain the control. CONCERT llA-XXu. Thursday Evening, March 23, 1863, GRAND ORGAN CONCERT. In which will appear twenty-four of tba principal Organists of the city.

Stbpbeii H. Trso, Rector of St. George 'a Church, in the city ef New York. Tbe friends of Mr. Tyng crowded abont ths pew occupied by him.

The noise and confusion by tbe vast throng was very great, and it required the utmost el-forts of the four or five policemen present to disperse the audience, a large part of whom, it ia said, were exceedingly anxious to organiis a meeting to sympathize with Mr. Tyng then and there. At leagth the audience dispersed, snd ths friends of M.r. Tyng proceeded to tbe Church of the Mediator, where other proceedings took place. Messrs.

Smith, Randolph No. I Nassau street, report as follows: Tbe current week will long be remembeied in Wall street ss one of unusual excitement and interest, not only in monetary eircles, but also throughout the mercantile community; the latter class evincing a keen of tbe vital qnealiona involved In the pending revolution in tbe Erie management, and a wide division of sentiment ss to the probable results to commercial Interests of the success of either of the contending factions. While Commodore Vanderbilt's cause carriei with it tbe prestige of luceessful railway management, it also begets aporebenaione of a great monopoly, which might so rule the rates of freights sod paasage as to prove oppressive to the public and on the other hand, though all agree in denouncing tbe policy of committing such vast railway interests virtually to ths sols keeping and management of one "speculative director," yet at ths same time Mr. Drew's opposition en- terprises, through having been a means of economy to the merchants, naturally anllit for him a large share of sympathy; for islf-intereat Is svsr a powerful argument. This grest band-to-hand contest, by far the fiercest In the snnals of railways or ef the stoek exchange, has naturally overshadowed all cite and cnrtailed dealings in tbe share market, beyond the stocks directly affected.

Tbe latest move le tbe appointment by tbe courts of Mr. Geo. A. Osgood, (son-in-law of Mr. Vanderbilt), as receiver and custodian ol the newly issued Erie shares, the announcement of which was attended with an immediate advance of IX cent bnt which waa subsequently hist, however, with tbs general decline which took place In anticipation of an anfavorable bauk state-menu Tbe Krieofficers have removed witb tbe books, Jtc, of the company to Jersey City to escape the various writs with which the courts are pursuing them.
