" The author, we are convinced, is young, otherwise we could hardly see displayed such fresh and enthusiastic sympathy in be half of his heroes and heroines. He is a writer of genius, inspired by a high standard of morality and religion, and by a laudable love of the purest sort of fame. We gather this from the glowing lan guage in which he expresses his feelings, sentiments, and opinions on the subjects just mentioned. There are several chapters, in which links of the story are dropped, containing most eloquent essays on matters that are the prima mobilia of the actions which cha racterise nature's nobility. The writer evidently belongs, though he has marked per se peculiarities, to the school of the Disraelis, Man nerves, and Smythes."—Observer.

Further progress was made last evening in that deplorable Bill relating to metropolitan interments which will inevitably cast not only odium on her 3laJzBafe Government but discredit and unpopu larity, more or less, upon the whole scheme of sani tary, improvement. On arriving at the thirtieth clause Of-the proposed enactment the Chairman was authorised to report progress, and the further con ideation of the pleasure was fixed for twelve o'clock THE SUN, LONDON, SATURDAY EVENING, JUNE 8, 1850. on Tuesday. Against the culpable negligence with which this mere party Bill is being hurried into a law by the Legislature we cannot protest too emphatically. Appreciating as we do the extreme disadvantages which must result to the community if the plan as at present arranged be car ried into actual operation, we are induced yet again and again to insist upon the necessity of a wholesome pause in these lamentable and extraordinary proceed ings. Our objections to the measure have not been either vague or inferential. We have time after time specified the precise clauses which we regard as being calculated to prove dangerous to the popular interests, and detrimental to the progress of sanitary reform. We indicated, moreover, the exact origin of these dangers and the manner in which they must, to our thinking, be manifested. Our op position hag not been of a petulant or perverse charac ter ; but throughout we have endeavoured to point out, with all dispassionate earnestness, the reason of our solicitude, and have essayed, in like manner, those suggestions of emendation in Committee which seemed to us desirable and, what is yet more, practic- I able. Hitherto our efforts have been altogether ineffectual in eliciting anything like vigilant scrutiny from the apparently apathetic indifference of the Parliament. Since the first exposure of the precise nature of the Metropolitan Interments Bill in our columns; since we first attempted to reveal to the apprehension of the multitude the servile manner in which the Cabinet was therein truckling to the clergy of the Establishment ; since we first demonstrated the pernicious tendency of an enactment which virtually ignored the existence of all civic preroga tives, and of all personal authority in the great body of the Dissenters—we have observed with extreme gratification that the argument was gradually echoed. by a very large number of our metropolitan and provincial contemporaries. Every one who con sented to examine into the precise nature of the pro jected innovation was compelled to acquiesce in the opinion that if allowed to pass into a veritable enactment the Bill would entail a multiplicity of calamitous consequences upon the population. While, however, this coincidence of opinion has been readily mani- felted without the walls of the Imperial Parliament, but few have betrayed their recognition of the evils likely to accrue to the people from a scheme so ex clusively favourable to the ecclesiastical authorities. Insomuch has this been the case in the House of Commons, that after one gallant adventure in the way of opposition, all thoughts of attempting any systematic amendment in Committee were aban doned. Even Mr. DUNCOMBE, the energetic advo cate of popular rights, was forced to yield to the pre dominant spirit of indifference, perceiving, as he did at once, that the further prosecution of his intended an • tagonism to the Administration would only tend to the useless squandering of public time—without pro ducing one beneficial change in the scheme of organization. Hence it has come to pass that the 'most earnest supporters of the genuine cause of sanitary amelioration have since then contented themselves almost exclusively with repeated protests against the Bill now under examination in Committee ; clause after clause having been agreed to with the most slovenly celerity. A reference to the progress of the measure last evening in the House of Commons will be sufficient to illus trate the hopelessness of all judicious emendation from the Lower House of the Legislature. The majority of that House betrays, indeed, such a lament able subserviency to the wishes of the Government, in regard to this particular undertaking, that the clerical party may well congratulate themselves upon the speedy realisation of all their dreams of compen sation. One thing, and one thing alone, can now re tard the progress of this baneful enactment, and that one thing is—agitation. Let the various con stituencies throughout the country agitate at once a stern and resolute opposition to the Bill in question. Let them petition, petition, petition ! Let them communicate, moreover, to their respective representatives the fervour of their wishes for a delay in the plans of the Government. It would be worse than ridiculous for the provincial possessors of the franchise to argue that they have no interest in the measure, seeing that it applies exclusively to the system of interment regard ing the metropolis. That system they must see, as the saying is, " with half an eye,' however it may be sketched out by the Cabinet and accepted by the Legislature, will form the model system for the United Kingdom. What ever course shall be adopted with reference to the capital will be ultimately carried out in the provinces• It is consequently with sufficient reason that we de clare the matter to be of equal interest to the one as to the other—to the inhabitants of York and Birming ham as to the citizens of London and Westminster Again we say to them, therefore, bestir yourselves betimes ; agitate the question at issue from parish to parish ; transmit your resolutions severally to your respective representatives ; and, above all—Petition ! Petition ! Petition ! At length we may look forward confidently to the speedy attainment of a measure of Chancery reform adequate . to the wants and wishes of the country. We gladly accord to the Noble Lord at the head of the Government and his colleagues in the Cabinet the praise to which they are justly entitled, for the straightforward and honourable course they have pur sued with respect to one of the most important ques tions connected with the administration of justice in this country. Lord COTTENHAM, full of years and .full of honour, has retired to the otium cum dignitate which he has so fairly earned, and which we trust he may long live to enjoy, with health and strength completely restored by the cessation of the labours which he has sustained for so many years. He carries with him to his retirement a high mark of the approbation of his SOVEREIGN, who has been graciously pleased to confer upon him and the heirs male of his body the rank and dignity of a Viscount and Earl of the United Kingdom ; and he has also gained the thanks and gratitude of the com munity for the able and efficient discharge of arduous and important duties, so far as it was within human power to do so. We have, however, already pointed out that no single individual could perform all the multifarious avocations attached to the office. Ar rears would necessarily accumulate, much-required ameliorations be slurred over and neglected ; but these were the faults of the system, not of the man, and the only wonder was that he should have been enabled to accomplish so much, not that something should have remained undone. It has long been obvious to legal reformers that no great improvement in Chancery procedure could be hoped for until the very head of the Court itself was placed on a better foundation, until the chief judge in equity was en abled to devote his entire time to his judicial duties and the practical details of the court over which he was appointed to preside. The Master's offices could not be thoroughly purified, the expenses therein diminished, and the progress of business accelerated until the Lord Chancellor could apply his mind calmly and dispassionately to the consideration of the existing evils, and the nature of the remedies by which they could be fully provided for, without en countering even more formidable dangers. Care must be tak en l es t i n " shunning Scylla we may fall into Charybdis;' To do so safely and effectually we must have an officer who will superintend the neces sary alterations, and who may be considered in some degree responsible for the defects of the new regula tions which may be introduced with his sanction and approbation, and this cannot reasonably be we have a t ota l separation of ex P t e h c e te p d ti olitic u a n la i nd judicial functions of the Lord High Chancellor of England. That is the first step to be accomplished, and that may now be anticipated even within the present session. -- F rom what fell from the First Lord of the T reas ury last night, in answer to the Honourabl e Gentleman the Member for Newark , it: appears that it is the intention of her MAJESTY to put the Great Seal into commission until Ministers have fully decided upon the course to be pursued " with respect to the future duties of the Court of Chancery, the appellate jurisdiction of the House of Lords, and the adminis tration of the functions which appertain to the Lord Chancellor as a member of the Government;" and Monday, the 24th June, has been fixed on as the day when the result of the Ministerial deliberations are to be announced to the House of Commons In declining to fill up the office on any understanding, or pledge, however stringent, the Noble Lord has given the best proof of his own dame determination tv carry out ' the object, which last week he described as being one " very desirable to obtain." The marked manner in which he alluded to the three distinct departments of the office—" the duties of the Court of Chancery," "the appellate jurisdiction of the House of Lords," and " the administration of the functions which appertain to the Lord Chancellor as a member of the Govern ment"—sufficiently indicates that the desire of the Cabinet is to divide the duties between three persons) and (as we ourselves suggested in The Sint; of the 27th ultimo) "to assimilate the office of Lord Chan cellor, so far as the judicial duties are concerned, to the Mastership of the Rolls, the Tice Chancellorships, and other judgeships, and that the occupant should be irremovable, and hold his situation dum se bene gesserit;" that there should also be " a permanent President of the appellate tribunal of the House of Lords, who might also act as Speaker of the House of Lords ;" and,: finally, that there should be " a Minister of Justice with a seat in the Cabinet, who would discharge all the political duties which now devolve on the Lord Chancellor." The advantages of such a division of labour are so obvious, that there can be but little doubt that it will be adopted, particularly after the pointed allusion made by Lord Jour; Rus- SELL to the three branches of the office. The chief difficulty will be the fixing the emoluments of the different offices and the judicious allocation of the enormous patronage, ecclesiastical as well as legal, now vested in the Lord Chancellor for the time being. The salaries may easily be decided. The sala ries of the Chief Justices of the common law courts will point out what should be given to the Chief Judge in equity. The judicial salary of the Lord Chancellor was the same as that of the Lord Chief Justice before the recent Bill. As 7,0001. per annum has been considered sufficient for the latter, it may be so for the equity judge when his labours will be so materially lessened. The 4,0001. a year paid to the Speaker of the House of Lords may be continued to the new Speaker and Chairman of Ap peals, and the Minister of Justice may receive the same as the Premier or a Secretary of State. If these suggestions were carried into execution, the business would be efficiently performed, and the additional expense would be but 2,0001. per annum, which sum, insignificant as it may be considered, in comparison to the vast benefits that would accrue from the change, might be saved by joining the almost sinecure duties of Lord Privy Seal to the Minister of Justice, or Speaker of the House of Peers. Idle would it be, at this day, to attempt to demon strate the obvious advantages of life assurance. Con stantly are they brought before the eyes of every reflecting man in the ordinary and common dispensa tions of life, where, on the one hand, surviving families are spared the evils of penury, so often inci dent to bereavement ; and, on the other, where the grief with which we bewail the dead is aggravated by the adversity that accompanies the loss. The vicissitudes and reverses of fortune, the proverbial uncertainty of human life, and the miseries of poverty and indigence, long ago suggested to the thoughtful mind of man expedients by which he might mitigate and soften, though it was beyond his power to avert, the terrible evils and misfortunes with which an in scrutable PROVIDENCE hedges round his existence in this mortal life. In the principle of life assurance, accordingly, is one of those expedients found ; and we can trace its beneficial operation running through the complicated net-work of civilized society. But un fortunately its advantages, though perceptible to the commonest mind, have never yet been generally em braced ; and, strange to say, it is almost exclusively confined to this country. It is only sagacious, pru dent, and self-denying men who, with a fore cast far beyond their fellows, have availed themselves of its benefits. Numerous as are the institutions which have sprung up in this me tropolis to carry this principle into effect, there is room and verge enough for them all ; and to-day our columns indicate the progress of an aspirant for public favour. The TIMES LIFE ASSURANCE AND GUARANTEE COMPANY was set on foot, some eighteen months ago, under the most favourable auspices, as it respects a judicious and influential directory, and already, as will be seen from the report in another part of our journal, its success has been remarkable, whilst its operations have been un attended with a single loss, notwithstanding the terrible epidemic, so disastrous to institutions of this kind, which afflicted this country for a period of three months. The objects which this company have in view are twofold : first, life-assurance, annuities, and family endowments of all descriptions, adapted to meet the views and means of the provident of every class ; second, the providing guarantees for fidelity of trust, so connected with the foregoing objects as mainly to ensure all the advantages of a mutual sys tem, the payers of the guarantee premium partici pating in the profits of the guarantee fund. The society does not confine its operations to this country, but is occupied also in bringing its advantages before the public in some parts of the continent, where life assurance is but little known or appreciated. We give this promising society a welcome, and cordially recommend the report of its first annual meeting to the perusal of our readers. THE FRENCH REPUBLIC. We have received the Paris journals of yesterday. The Bill renewing for another year the law against clubs was passed in the Assembly on Thursday by a majority of 278, the numbers being 469 to 191. In the course of the discussion M. Esguntos, the newly elected representative of the Soane et Loire, made a most eloquent speech against the law. The Committee of the Initiative have determined to take into consideration the proposition of General GRAMMONT, for moving the seat of Government from Paris to Versailles by a majority of one; the numbers were 12 to 11. The proposition to increase the salary of the PRESIDENT has excited the most profound sensation, and notwithstanding the appeal ad misericordiam of M. ACHILLE FOULD, many of the Legitimatists have, it is said, determined to join the Republicans in their op position to the proposal. The Burgraves having wrung from the PRESIDENT a reluctant consent to the Elec toral Bill, do not deem it advisable to keep up even the semblance of friendship for him. They support the proposition, but after such a fashion that their sup port is more damaging than even their opposition could have been. As a sample of Burgrave tactics, we cite the following mot of M. DUPIN You complain that we have suppressed 3,000,000 01 Gallic electors, and we propose to substitute for them 3,000,000 Francs, and you cry out—Really you are most unreasonable." The usual levee was not held on Thursday, at the Elysee, and it is said, that unless the sum demanded by the PRESIDENT is voted by the Assembly, the levees will be discontinued, as he cannot support the expense of holding them. He has, it is said, been running in debt at the rate of 1,000/. a month ever since his election to the Presidency. He is now, it is ru moured, about to retire to St. Cloud, to retrench. The Libert4 says— "lt has been remarked that of all the Ministers who in general hold their levees on Tuesday evening, M. de Lahitte was the only one whose salons were closed on that evening, and who had gone into the country. This fact, and the reports in circulation, lead us to fear that that honourable warrior has arrived at the termination of his Ministerial career." The Courrier Francais pretends that the concen tration of maritime forces in the Mediterranean is for the protection of Naples against British claims, adding that Russia is determined to support the KING. The proofs of the subservience of the reactionary party in France to Russian designs is becoming e very day more manifest. Couriers are constantly travel ling between Paris and Warsaw; and the Emperor of Russie, who approves highly of the recent altera tion in the electoral law, has, it is said, issued his orders to the Gallo-Cossack chiefs to at once introduce and carry a measure dissolving the National Guards throughout the dominions of the Republic, as it is considered that they would be inclined to oppose the ulterior designs of the Russian Alliance upon France. It is said that in considera tion of the armed assistance to be afforded by the Monarchs of the Russian alliance to the French Royalists for the restoration of HENRI V., the Royalists engage, in the event of success, to cede Alsace and Lorraine to the Alliance, to be disposed of as to them shall seem fit. The French correspondence of the Gazette des Pastes at Frankfort develops the whole plot. The Prefect of the Haute Vienna has published a decree prohibiting the reading aloud of newspapers in manufactories throughout the whole department. Some arrests for political causes have ',been made at Lyons. 150 workmen joined in a strike at Beauvais. The ringleaders were arrested, and tranquillity re stored. The . Assembly was yesterday engaged in discussing the motion for the third reading of the Transporta tion Bill, which had not concluded when the post left.

The weekly statement of the Bank of England is to the Ist instant ; and varies from the previous return in so far as that it shows an increase of circulation. The amount of the precious metals was again larger. The Public Deposits were further increased, and will pursue the ascensional movement until the close of the financial quarter, and the private balances it ere slightly trenched upon, possibly for employment in trade or in vestment in securities, or for remittance abroad on account of the Russian loan. The advances upon other securities do not rise much, but it is something gained, perhaps, with such a plethora of money, if they do not recede.

In the negotiation yesterday of bills of exchange upon the principal Continental cities, it appeared that the rates were slightly lower for 90 days paper on Italy and Frankfort, but firm on Paris, Ilamburgh, Holland, and Belgium. The adulteration of coffee is carried now to such an extent, and the consumption, as shown by the official returns, has so materially fallen off, that it is important to place facts before consumers for their guidance. Mr. P. L. Simmonds, who has had practical experience in Jamaica, writes of " Coffee as it is, and as it ought to be," and enters into the whole question of adulteration, chemical tests for detecting the same, production and consumption, and many of the facts are extremely useful. The detection of chicory mixture, for example, is much more simple than might be sup posed. A small quantity of the coffee has simply to be put on the top of a glass full of cold water, and shaken up. If pure, the coffee will swim and give little or no colour to the liquid, but if chicory be present it sinks to the bottom and communicates a pretty deep red tinge to the water. Mr. Simmonds then goes on to say: "It is quite essential that buyers should be intimately ac quainted with the appearance of the various berries, because, although a grocer cannot adulterate the article in its new state, he can deceive and pass off upon his uninitiated customers the worst for the most approved kinds; and this I know to be the case in many instances. - They who have once seen the two berries or beans, Mocha and Plantation, can be never again deceived. As I cannot show I will describe them. I speak of coffee in the raw state, for on every account I would strenuously advise that my readers should purchase it unroasted. Mocha (or, as it is often called, Turkey) is the smallest of all the usual sorts, it is round, plump, rough, equal-sized, the colour inclining to buff, with a tinge of pale brown, or of a light olive hue; the Jamaica, Plantation, Bet.- bice (for they much resemble one another) are fine, large, flat, handsome-looking berries, with a hue of grey-green, very different from those of Mocha or even Ceylon, which last, from similarity of colour, might deceive those who are not aware of this distinctive difference, namely, that the Ceylon berries are of irregular sizes, ill-shaped, and of a spotted dirty cream colour. The grey-green shade of the western Coffees is entirely deficient in those of Asia. In its raw state, this article of consumption, unlike other grains, such as rice, wheat, &c., appears to be entirely exempt from the destructive ravages of insects; it will keep good nay, perhaps, improve, for an indefinite length of time; and may, consequently, be purchased at any period and in any quantity, when an opportunity offers for obtaining it at wholesale price. R9asted Coffee, on the contrary, deteriorates rapidly, and if exposed, as we see it in shops, it should be kept closely stopped in canisters, or wide-mouthed glass bottles. The sooner Coffee is used after it is roasted, the finer will be the flavour; hence I prefer to roast only the quantity intended for the con sumption of one week." The letters by the steamer Pacific from the United States were delivered this morning, and the following are one or two extracts:— " There has been a fair demand for sterling bills, for remittance by the American mail steam-ship Pacific, and rates ha•e been well maintained. The supply of second and third-rate bills is not so large as usual, and the sales are, therefore, confined more to the best drawers We hare no changes to report in domestic exchanges, quotations for specie, or for uncurrent money. The amount of uncurrent money offering for redemption is limited for the season, and there is the same scarcity of State money that we have noticed for some time past." Extraordinary efforts continue to be made in support of the cotton market, and the following is from Mr. I'. J. Stewart, of Ne w York:— " Yesterday (Friday) the market opened stiff, and 3,500 bales were taken at the full quotations annexed. This is in the face of an advance in freights, which are now held stiff at 3-16 d., although most of the late sales were negotiated for at slightly easier rates. This sudden de sire to secure the staple at the present rates for shippers is mainly owing to the growing conviction that there will be a pinching time for it, long before any small aid can be derived from a crop, which is only just planted, as a whole, and which ie the must unpromising we have ever had; and when its true position is placed before the spinners in a way they cannot get away from it, we anticipate here to learn of an excitement at Liverpool such as has not been witnessed for many years. " In my circular per Niagara, under dote of April 2d, I called your attention to the fact that I thought it pro bable that the mild winter we had enjoyed would have the tendency to hasten the melting of the snows on the Upper Mississippi and Missouri, and that the rise which usually comes out of these rivers in the latter part of May, would be down earlier, and before the usual freshets from the lower tributaries of the ` father of waters,' such as the Ohio, Red River, Arkansas, Ten nessee, &c., could pass off into the Gulf. This has happened. I attach great importance to it, from the experience of former seasons evidencing the fact that a large crop is impossible, where the March planting is impaired. The only section in which the seed planted during that month appeared to vegetate was in the Groat South-Western Valley; elsewhere, they have re planted very generally at the close of April, and even in May. The following extract shows the position of things in that quarter:— I " ' Reports from the Missouri, state that the whole of that river is up as far as Independence Landing. Op posite Helena, Arkansas, the water has completely co vered the prairies. The Arkansas is falling, but we un derstand that Red River is rising fast, and that it bad already submerged many of the plantations near the mouth. At Lake Providence, the river was one inch higher than ever known. At Memphis, the water was even with the highest flood mark. From Natchez to Miliken's Bend, it is estimated that at least 150,000 acres of land, which had been planted in cotton, are now under water, and hundreds of the finest plantations en tirely ruined. The river now extends from Natchez to the hills of Ouachita, a distance of over forty miles, and we learn from an eye-witness, that everything has been swept away. Every knoll and hill top is filled with cattle, horses, and other domestic animals, and even bears, panthers, and deers, are herding with them, for getting, in the presence of a common danger, their na tural ferocity or timidity. At Vicksburg, the river is 60 miles broad."' The accounts from Lancashire and Yorkshire report a steady but not very extensive business doing in textile goods.

PROSPECTS OF THE GROUSE SEASON.—The un commonly forward state of the birds by the 12th of August last year prevented the usual amount of destruction, and hence there was a much better stock preserved for breeding this season. The winter, although severe, was not ob served to have been injurious to the birds, but at pairing time the hens were found not to be in good condition—the effects of which may appear on the new broods. On early will o o likely d li b likely but lt be longer, y if the able be b e a c mu grounds, such as the Logiealmon d muirs, cheepers were first observed about the middle of Ma y , and at Dalwhinnie about the 25th.

" SCHONLEIN. " GRI3III. " LANGENBECK. " Charlottenburg, June sth, half-past 91 M." The Prince of PUUSSIA., before leaving Berlin, is said to have given to certain political personages the following explanation of his motives for undertaking that journey : " I set off for Warsaw with the view of making the Emperor of Russia, who has up to the prf sent time pur sued a line of conduct on the German question diame trically opposed to ours, change his policy and enter into the views of Prussia, I hope to succeed; but if it be otherwise, Prussia will, nevertheless, pursue with perse verance the path up on w hi c h s h e h as e ntered, without being prejudiced by opposite views." The Gazette des Pontes of Frankfort says : " We learn that Baron Von Ilanteuffel, who has ac companied the Prince of Prussia, as Aide-de-Camp, to Warsaw, is charged with an autograph letter to the Emperor of Rus s i a on th e G erman ques ti o n, w hi c h lett e r is said to be of the greatest importance. It is said that any arrangement between Austria and Prussia is out of the question as long as the policy of Prince Schwart zenburg continues." The Prussian Moniteur announces the departure o. M. MATuis for Frankfort, on the 3d ; and the Berlin correspondent adds, that he was accompanied by the Plenipotentiaries of Hamburgb, Oldenburgh, Bruns wick, and the Saxon Duchies. • The same journal states as a fact, that Prussia in sists that the Presidency of the Congress at Frank fort shall be held alternately by :herself and by Austria. By the upsetting of it barge on the Wesel, nearly 100 persons, forming part of a religious pro cession to a convent near Neumark, had been drowned ; the greater part of the pilgrims were women. In Dresden the Ministry had cancelled the electoral law, and summoned the old Landtag. This Landtag was elected under the law of 1831. A severe edict had been issued against the press and the right of association, but, as a concession, the state of siege in the Saxon capital, which has been held ever since Alay 8, 1849, has been terminated. _ . A letter from Vienna, Ist instant, says :—" The EMPEROR left this morning for Warsaw. The mili tary governor of Gallicia, Count KHISVENHULLER, at tends him to Cracow. A telegraphic dispatch, re ceived yesterday, announced that Prussia had sta tioned a corps d'arrneeof 60,000 men:between Erfurth and Torgau, and sent another of 60,000 men to the frontiers of Silesia. This movement, however, has not caused much alarm, since it was generally believed that the differences between Austria and Prussia would be amicably settled by the intervention of the Emperor of RUSSIA. _ _ _ Another letter from Vienna says :—" It has been remarked that at the last procession of the Fete-Dieu, the corporations of the different trades, who usually form a large portion of the procession, were not pre sent. Their absence is attributed to the groat num bers of conversions to Neo-Catholicism and to Pro• testanisro, occasioned by the promulgation of the re cent edicts." SCHLES WIG-HOLSTEIN. General WILLIsaN, who has been appointed to take command of th• armies of the Duchies, is said to have declared that he will defend them against a Danish, Russian, or English coalition. TURKEY AND GREECE. A telegraphic dispatch, received at Vienna from Trieste, announces the arrival at Athens, on the 28th ult., of Count STURMER, the Austrian Minister at the Ottoman Court. King OTno was to leave Athens on the 31st for Syra, to be present at the laying of the first stone of the new port. The accounts from Constantinople come down to the 25th ult. The SULTAN was to leave in a few days for Scio. OMER PACHA, who had been appointed Seraskier of Bosnia, had arrived at Salonica ; it was expected that his energy would tend to the prompt re eatablisment of tranquillity in the principality. ITALY. The Porn and Cardinals have been recently amusing themselves by manufacturing Saints. The Giornale di Roma, of the 29th ult., publishes two decrees of the Sacred Congregation of Rites in Latin. In the first it is said that the venerable servant of GOD, PETER CLAVER, of the Company of Jasus, de serves canonization ; the second states that the theolo gical and cardinal virtues of the venerable servant of GoD, GERMANA COUSIN, of Toulouse, have been proved, and that consequently the congregation may pass to the discussion of her four miracles. The same journal con tains a notification from Cardinal ALTIERI, President of Rome and of the Special Locust-Commission, an nouncing that in consequence of the increasing in vasion of 'the :Locust-tribe, deputies have been ap pointed to proceed to the districts of the Roman province corresponding to the different gates of the capital, and there superintend the destruction of the locusts. In case of negligence on the part of a landholder, the deputies may send men ex officio to do the workl of extirpation on his property and at his expense.
