Mortimer, Ade- his tale displays great power of ,nd promises to be one of the THE QUEEN'S SUMMER HousE.—The summer house in Buckingham Gardens is rapidly advancing towards completion. When finished, we believe, it is the inten tion of his royal highness to command the publication of a series of prints, exhibiting its several details—of course, including the frescoes. They will be curious, deeply in teresting, and highly important. Of the eight frescoes to be contained in t,m principal room, that of Mr. E. Land seer is still unfinished ; that of Mr. Eastlake is com plete. Mr. Dyce is painting one of the eight to supply the place filled for a short time by that of Mr. Etty, which has been removed. Among the most agreeable circumstances to be recorded in connexion with this work is this :—An English artist (Mr. Silos Rice, a student in the School of Design) has been employed in the decora tive department; his work has been executed with very great ability, so as to vie with that of the best masters of best masters in Germany, Besides the principal room, a small chamber leading from it is also " fitting up " with productions of art ; for this apartment small frescoes are in progress by Mr. Townsend, Mr. Severn, ihe two bro thers Doyle (worthy sons of the famous H. 8.), and, we believe, Mr. Cope. Small basso relievos are also in pre paration, to he here placed, by Messrs. Bell, Stephens, and one or two other sculptors.—Art Union. PAGINANI BEFORE HE WAS FAMOUS.—Talking of of music, I have become acquainted with the most outr6 most extravagant, and strangest character I ever beheld, or heard, in the musical hoe. lie has just been emanci pated from durance vile, where he had been for a long time incarcerated on suspicion of murder. His long figure, long neck, long face, and long forehead—his hollow and deadly-pale cheek, large black eye, hooked nose, and jet black hair, which is long, and more than half hiding his most expressive, most Jewish face--all these render him the most extraordinary person I ever beheld. There is something scriptural in the iota ensemble of the strange physiognomy of this most uncouth and unearthly figure. Not that, as in times of old, he plays, as holy writ tells us, on a ten-stringed instiument ; on the contrary, he brings the most powerful, the most wonderful, and most heart rending tones, from one string. His name is Paganini ; he is very improvident, and very poor. The D—s and the impressario of the theatre got up a concert for him the other night, which was well attended, and on which oc casion he electrified the audience. lie is a native of Ge- While Lanty was engaged in placing the saddle on his new purchase, in which Kerry contrived not to afford him any assistance whatever, Mark O'Donoghue paced slowly to and fro in the court yard, with his arms folded, and his head sunk upon his breast ; nor was he aroused from his reverie until the step of the horse was heard on the pave ment beside him. " Poor Kittane," said he, looking up suddenly, " you were a great pet : I hope they'll be as kind to you as I was ; and they'd better, too," added he, half-savagely, "For you've a drop of the Celt in your blood, and can revenge harsh treatment when you meet with it. Tell her owner that she is all gentleness, if not abused, but get her temper once up, and, by Jove, there's not a tor rent on the mountain can leap as madly ! She knows her name, too : I trust they'll not change that. She was bred beside Lough Kittane, and called after it. See how she can follow :" and with that, the youth sprang forward, and placing his hand on the top bar of a gate, vaulted lightly over ; but scarcely had he reached the ground, when the mare bounded after him, and stood with her head resting on his shoulder. Mark turned an elated look on the others, and then surveyed the noble animal beside him with all the pride and admiration of a master regarding his handiwork. She was, indeed, a model of symmetry, and well worthy the praise bestowed on her. For a moment or two the youth gazed on her, with a flashing eye and quivering lip, while the mare, catching excitement from the free air of the morning, and the spring she had made, stood with swelled veins and trembl ing limbs, his counterpart in eagerness. One spirit seemed to animate both. So Mark appeared to feel it, as with a bound he sprung into the saddle, and with a wi.d cheer dashed forward. With lightning's speed they went, and in a moment disappeared from view. Kerry jumped up on a broken gate-pier, and strained his eyes to catch them, while Lanty, muttering maledictions to himself, on the hair-brained boy, turned everywhere for a spot where he might view the scene. " There he goes," shouted Kerry ; " look at him now ; he's coming to the furze ditch into the big field : see ! see! she does not see the fence ; her head's in the air. Whew—elegant, by the mortial—never touched a hoof to it !—murther ! murther ! how she g - aliops in the deep ground, and the wide gripe that's before her ! Ab, he won't take it ; he's turning away." " I wish to the Lord he'd break a stirrup leather," muttered Lanty. noa and if T were a judge of violin-playing, I would pro nounce him the most surprising performer in the world. —Maxwell's Wanderin.gs. TIC PRINTING.—We have been favoured with an opportunity of inspecting, at the offices of Mr. Joseph 'Woods, No. 3, Bargeyard-chambers, Bucklersbury, a process of reprinting to which this name has been given. We are aware that many attempts have at different times been made to arrive by similar means at an available re sult. These have been attended with various success, but in no case amounting hitherto to anything profitable. To describe the present result in as few words as possible : It is the reproduction of any form of letterpress, or any quality of print, drawing, engraving, or lithograph, in un limited quantity, in an inconceivably brief space of time. Any journal fer instance, say the Times, might in twenty minutes lie prepared for reprinting merely from a single number, and worked off with the ordinary rapidity of the steam-press. It is our purpose fully to describe in the next number of the Art-Union the process whereby this is effected, and to show the admirable applicability of tne invention to all those kinds of croquis drawings, sket c h e s, &c., &c., which have hitherto been presented to the pub lic eye as wood-engravings—by giving as a specimen a page of drawings by distinguished artists printed in this manner. The proprietors are scarcely yet prepared to work their patent on the extensive scale which they con template. We have, however, seen a set of drawings, fresh from the hands of the artists, prepared for printing, and printed off in little more than a quarter of an hour ! In less than a quarter of an hour from the time of receiv ing the sketch the printer will present to the artist proofs of his work, which shall resemble the original as perfectly as if it had been reflected on the paper touch for touch. In presenting these specimens we shall describe the pro cess at length in the next number of the Art-Union. In the meantime it must be observed that it is impossible to define the development of this, to say the least, truly won derful invention, whereby the work of the artist is repro duced in facsimile without the slightest point of differ ence ; the finest and rarest engravings may be re-printed ad infinitum ; and, last though not !east, books may be reprinted, as from stereotypes, in unlimited quantity.— Art-Union. &NAST " Oh, Jose')ii!" screamed Kerry, " there was a jump— twenty feet as sure as I'm living. Where is he ❑ow 1-1 don't see him." " May you never." growled Lanty, whose indignant anger had burst all bounds : " that's not treatment for another roan's horse." " There he goes, the jewel ; see him in the stubble field ; sure it's a real picture to see him going along at his case. Whurroo—he's over the wall. What the devil's the mat ter now ?—the're away ;" and so it was : the animal that an instant before was cantering perfectly in hand, had now set off at top speed, and at full stretch. " See the gate— mind the gate—Master Mark—tear-and-ages, mind the gate," shouted Kerry, as though his admonition could be heard half a mile away. " Oh'. holy Mary'. he's through it,;' and true enough—the wild and now affrighted beast dashed trough the frail timbers, and held on her course, without stopping. " He's broke the gate to flitters." May I never, if I don't wish it was his neck," said Lanty, in open defiance. "Do you, then ?" called out Kerry. " Why, then, as sure as my name's Kerry O'Leary, if there's a hair of his head hurted, What the threat was intended for, cannot be known; for his eye once more caught sight of his idol, and he lied out— ' Take care of the sheep.

' mutter' I a day's sport to me," said Kerry, with the loose sleeve of his coat, and descend from the elevation, for the younz "'Twas as goo wiping tits red the distant part of the lawn, and, at an returning to the stab', said Mark, as he flung himself from the there Kittane, it's the last time you're likely to ye a bold burst of it, or myself either, perhaps. She oucbed her counter on that gate, Lanty ; but she's nothing the worse of it." "There saddle, " t A CHINESE ENTERTAINMENT.—In the ball of recep tion itself there was little to remark ; indeed it had alto gether the appearance of a temporary erection. We dined at the upper end, and the lower was occupied by the stage. Chinese dinners, with the succession of dishes served upon trays, one of which is placed before one or two persons, according to their rank, have been so accurately described, that I shall not pretend to enter into any detail. The custard, and the preserved fruits with which the dinner commenced, were very palatable : I cannot say that I much liked the bird-nest's soap—it was too gelatinous and insipid for my taste ; nor did the various additions of shrimps, eggs, &c., improve the compound : the shark fins were not more agreeable. The Chinese eat as well as drink to each other ; and a mandarin, who stood behind us, regulated the times of commencement, both in the dishes and cups of wine. The wine was heated, and had not an unpleasant flavour ; it is not unlike sherry. The dresses of the actors, and the stage decorations, were very splendid, and there was noise and bustle enough to satiate the eyes and ears ; even those who understood Chinese were NOTABILIA (From Punch's Almanack for 1845.) placed on the Royal Ex hopper ! he won't-find many green Jan 7.—The grass Poor ir blades ther 11 pudding 290 lbs. weight boiled at Aughton : So large, that all the children of the village walked into it. 20.--Lulus Nature : At Coventry, last week, a kitten was born with the head of a red herring.

THE FAREWELL CANTER, lm" The O'Donoghue," by Harry Lorrequer, ghts which a 5 used me most, was a chicken-hatching oven : this useful esta blishment is at some distance from the walls, and gives life to some millions of chickens annually. It seems that the hens of Egypt are not given to sedentary occupations ; having been hatched themselves by machinery, they do not feel called upon to hatch. They seem to consider that they have discharged every duty to society when they have produced the eggs. No domestic anxiety ruffles their bo soms; they care not whether their offspring becomes a fowl or a fritter—a game-cock or an omelette.—The Crescent and the Cross. RELIGION AND EDUCATION IN BRITISH GUIANA. — British Guiana is remarkable amongst our West India possesions, for the attention given to secular affairs and educational purposes. There has been lately erected in Georgetown a handsome gothic Protestant Church ; the building has cost upwards of £13,000. Eighteen minis ters of the Church of England are now officiating in the colony. English, Scotch, and Dutch churchesfend Wes leyan chapels abound. The provision for the different religious establishments, in 1839, amounted to £22,942 ; and in 1838, there were 11,363 persons receiving instruc tion in the public schools. Three public, an infant, and eight private schools exist in Georgetown. New Amster dam also supports a large free school. There is a Roman Catholic cathedral at Georgetown, and a Roman catholid chapel at New Amsterdam. Two Roman catholic minis ters actively officiate. In 1842, there were 2,218 scholars in the Church of England School, Demerara ; and 843 Church of Scotland scholars. The Wesleyan Missionary society support a school at Essequibo, consisting of 298 scholars.) the number was in 1840, 1,036,) showing a sad falling off. The London Missionary Society has a school of 1,800 scholars at Essequibo.—Co!onial Magazine. THE MONK.—The man who first discovers treasure in secret place may become enriched thereby ; but they who follow will probably find only rubbish. The lofty minds of an Anthony and Pachomius had grown not only to strength, but to power, in the hermit's cell, and thousands hastened to seek for piety in the wilderness, as if it were some curious natural production which grew there only. The very desert ceased to be desert ; the solitudes of Egypt and Syria became peopled with gloomy dreamers, why seemed to think it was on the body, not the soul, that the weight of sin lay so heavily. These selfish zea lots had no regard to their Maker's scheme of creation, by which man is rendered necessary to man, for defence, emulation, counsel, and consolation. They found, no doubt, a fierce luxury in the lash, and the privations to which they subjected themselves ; and devils must have smiled, when they saw the body that God bad made so strong, and fair, and comely, torn and disfigured by the penance and scourge—the soul that had been given for the exercise of genial thought, and love, and friendship, shrouded by perpetual gloom, and for ever harping, as the ailing body does, upon its own sordid self. But these men call them selves Catholic I—The Crescent and the Cross. MIS 3 MARTINEAU AND MESMERISM.—Mr. Green how, the brother-in-law and professional attendant on Miss Martineau, has published a medical report, in the nature of an answer to the letters on Mesmerism, recently published by that lady, in which she attributed her reco very to mesmeric treatment. The following are the con clusions at which Mr. G. arrives :—" Knowing well that no symptoms of malignant disease of the affected organ existed, I always believed that a time would arrive when my patient would be relieved from most of her distressing symptoms, and released from her long-continued confine ment. * * She never willingly listened to my sugges tions of the probability of such prospective events, and seemed always best satisfied with anything approaching to an admission that she must ever remain a secluded in valid. This state of mind, perhaps, may be considered as an additional symptom of the morbid influence, over the nervous system, of the class of diseases in which this case must be included. During the last year or two, in common with many of the friends of Miss M., I had frequent opportunities of observing the increased ease and freedom with which she moved about her sitting-room ; and my conviction became confirmed, that the time was approaching when she would resume her habits of exer cise in the open air. Oftener than once I have made use of the somewhat strong expression, that some day, pro bably before long, Miss M. would take up her bed and walk. In the history of this case it is probable that the advocates of Mesmerism will find reasons and arguments in support of their opinions. But the experienced prac titioner, carefully distinguishing the post hoc from the propter hoc, will have little difficulty in bringing the whole into harmony with the well-established laws of human physiology. As regards the pathology of the case, he will conclude that the condition in December is but the natural sequel of progressive improvement begun in, or antecedent to, the month of April; and as regards the relief from the distressing nervous symptoms connected therewith, that the time had arrived when a new and powerful stimulus only was required to enable the enthu siastic mind of my patient to shake them off." y 4 insider —Wow; tens, follows a mutton -Strange delusion at M. a cake Augus ate, with the tea 111 er Rather pre-mat a boat-load got s to the bottom 22.—P0 It is vulgar belief, —Proposals to regulate the number of passen- Why not wait till to carr and yet ti LI yet the lover of the b noes of fine d in the s, from t THE LIVERPOOL STANDARD.

But, besides the shocking bad cigar, the Burman has something else to give a relish to his purchase : he reflects upon the useful purpose to which his future wife's thriftiness shall be ap plied after their marriage, when all his pleasures shall spring from her toil; and if he doubts her constancy (a thing, by the way, that he has some cause to do), the as surance of her unalterable attachment is all he wants to render him the happiest of mortals : he puts that into his pipe also, and inhales the grateful thought with a satis faction that leaves him nothing to wish for. In this man ner are half the matches in Burmah made; the mothers look with pride upon the dawning industry of their daughters, whensoever they observe them employed in making cigars, as it indicates a desire to come out, and the only difference in the mode of presenting the beauties of this country and those of Europe consists in the place where the ceremony is performed ; there they are all ex hibited in the streets, instead of in the ball-room ; and when this form has been observed, the match-making be iins, which, alas for the inconstancy of Burman women, frequently ends in nothing but smoke !—Asiatic Journal. WHERE THE TRACTARIANS SEPARATED FROM THE HIGH CHURCH PARTY.—Having sufficiently settled this point, and made their appeals to tradition in regard to a matter where tradition is of undoubted authority, the leaders of the movement went on to strengthen their ar gument by shewing that the Church, in her interpretation of important doctrines, is quite as far in advance of other sects as she is in her apostolical constitution, and her faithful regard to primitive order. And here it was that the writers of the Tracts for the Times first began to lose themselves. Tney had adventured upon ground so deli cate, so unsafe, that to pass over it without damage was next to impossible. For the authority on which they had rested, and fairly, too, as sustaining their views of Church government and apostolical succession, was here of no avail. Unless we believe that St. Clement and St. Igna tius were both inspired, we are no more bound to accept their interpretation of the words of Scripture than any which may be offered by Thomas Aquinas, or John Cal vin, or Daniel Melville, or John 'Wesley. And hence all the information which they communicated to us, regard ing the opinions which were held by the fathers with re spect to the nature and purposes of the holy sacrament, tended only to startle and to alarm. For it is worthy of remark, that, from day to day, the list of the fathers be came in their hands continually greater. It was no more of those, concerning whom our own Cave has well writ ten, that they made mention. Others, of more doubtful character, were placed side by side with these, till, in the end, both they and we became entangled in all the intri cacies of the middle ages. Hence the avowal of a princi ple which the Reformed Church of England has uniformly denounced and put from her, that in communicating to the people the counsel of God any reserve shall be prac tised. And, finally, the fatal Tract 90, with the sermons and pamphlets arising out of it, of which the issues were to excite our 'iv* apprehension that they who undertook to keep the multitude within the pale of the Church of their fathers were, in point of fact, leading them through that Church, and carrying them, blindfolded and misled, into communion with the Church of Rome.—Fraser's Magazine THE CHOCOLATE TaEE.—Tbe cacao, or chocolate tree, is known to botanists by the generic name of Thtobroma, signifying, in the Greek language, food for a god ; a name which was bestowed upon it by Linnaeus, to mark his opinion of the excellent quality of its seeds. Benjoni, however, who travelled in the sixteenth century, formed a very different estimate of its merits, and declared that chocolate was a drink " fitter for a pig than a man ;" an opinion for which nothing but gross ignorance could ac count, so totally false and absurd is it. I know it to be good for both ; and not the less so for man, because it is exceedingly fattening for the swinish fraternity. There are three species of the Theobroma—the Theobroma ca cao, of which I am now treating ; the Theobroma Guja nentis, and the Theobronsa bicolor ; this genus belongs to the class Polyadelphia, and to the order Pentogynia. The sort under consideration is produced by a tree sel dom rising ebove the height of twenty feet; it is equal in size to an orange-tree, and its leaves are large, oblong and, pointed. Herrera, the historian, compares the leaves with those of the chesnut-tree ; but there is very little, if any, resemblance. The whole tree more resembles the cherry-tree than any other I can compare it with, the leaves, however, being infinitely larger than those of that plant. The flowers, which are small, and of a pale red colour, spring from the large branches, and also from the trunk ; they are succeeded by oral-pointed pods, grooved like a melon, and, indeed, not unlike that fruit, although the cacao-pod be smaller in g , rth than the melon. They contain a white pithy substance, which is of a sweetish, but sickeningly mawkish and disagreeable taste, and sur rounds ❑umerous seeds : these are the cacao of commerce. These seeds are oval-formed, and about as large as a moderate-sized almond-kernel, but not so slender; they are, internally, 01 a very dark brown colour, approaching to dun, and are covered with a thin skin or husk, of a light reddish-brown colour. The nuts are very numerous, but vary in this respect, some pods containing as many as fifty, white others do not yield more than twenty seeds ; they are, as is well known, of a very oily nature. The tree produces fruit twice a year, or rather its principal bearings are two, although it may be said to he never altogether without some pods on it.— Colonial Magazine. MARKET DAY IN AN EGYPTIAN TOWN.—Benisooef is a place of some consideration, with several mosques, caravanserais, and large private houses, together with an extensive well-supplied bazaar, frequented once a week by the peasants of the country round. As it happened to he market-day, this bazaar, thronged with people z furmed an interesting and striking, but not a gay scene : both sellers and buyers, with but few exceptions, had an air of po verty ; and among those exceptions were the officers of a regiment of cavalry, quartered in the town, whose gorge ous uniforms, glittering with gold, contrasted disagreeably with the rags which scarcely covered the nakedness of the half-starved Fellabs. If you except the necessaries of life, the articles exposed for sale in an Egyptian bazaar would in general be regarded with scorn at an English fair; in an earthenware shop at Benisooef, for example, all the ar ticles of English manufacture consisted done small white bason„ a soup-plate, and a few dessert-plates of the com monest kind, most of which I bought for four piastres. In another place you see a man vending pipe -heads, whose whole stock might be purchased for five shillings; yet he gets bis living, such as it is, by selling them. An , other person had a few onions, another a small quantity of dates, a third, the most thriving person by far, is en gaged in selling hot rakes mixed with butter, at ten pares each, which he bakes as you eat them. Bread every day grows cheaper as you ascend the Nile ; at Benisooef we bought for a piastre, sixteen small cakes, as nice, though not quite so fine, as muffins ; thirty-two eggs for the same money ; eight small lemons, or rather citrons, for ten paras ; mutton twenty-eight paras per pound ; butter and milk, both excellent, were rather dearer. From this part of the bazaar we proceeded to that which is held ameng of the bazaar we proceeded to that which is held among the large mounds of rubbish to the north of the town. Here we observed a more lively scene. On one side, near an old wall, were a number of water-jars, pots, and pans, with a row of Arab wcmen squatting down behind them, laughing and chattin g w ith i n fi n ite glee and volubi lity. Near these appeared a group of female itinerant lineridrapers, each with a piece of course linen on her lap, and in the midst of them a woman engaged in spinning the thread from which this course fabric is manufactured. Further on, a man with mats, another with printed cot tons, and a third with carrots or other vegetables. In the midst of these, as if to shame the meanness of their hum ble dress, we observed a number of cavalry officers, in their rich variegated costume, mounted on superb horses, dashing up the steep mo un d s , th e n down again, checking their fiery steeds in mid gallop. Their principal com mander, dressed in a magnificent" scarlet cloak, embroi dered vest, and costly shawl, with a fine horse and sabre, appeared, from his luxuriant carrotty mustachois, to be some German renegade ; though, on the day before, I bad seen an Arab with a red beard, and even mtunmivs have been found with hair of this colour. A large build ing, with numerous glass windows and green blinds, situ ated at the northern entrance to the town, is one of the Pasha's abandoned cotton manufactories, now converted into a hospit,tl. One of the principal mosques of the city. has been undermined by the Nile, which, unless ar tificially dammed off, will soon wash away the whole town. The great sugar plantations of Egypt commence a little to the north of Benesooef, and these, together with the Dhourro, seem to occupy all the industry of the inhabi tants, there being fine fields of tobacco, wheat, and cot ton, and indigo plantations. Sucking the raw sugar-cane is a great luxury with the Arabs ; and, in reality, the juice has a pleasant taste.—Library of Travel. THE DETENTIONS AT THE POST-OFFICE.—A gentle man, living in Camden-town, would feel particularly obliged to Colonel ',Moberly to return to him, as soon as he has done with them, the goose and Epping sausages which were sent to him through the post last week by a friend in the country.—Punch. HER MAJES'T ' Y AND MR. GIBSON, THE SCULPTOR. — The Queen sat for a bust to Mr. Gibson a short time pre vious to his departure for Rome. He is commissioned to produce a fall-length statue of her Majesty. The Queen and her Royal Consort were highly pleased with the work of the accomplished sculptor, whom they received and treated with marked urbanity and consideration—with a gracious delicacy, indeed, which made the artist at once at ease in " the presence." Two or three slight incidents occurred during his visits to Windsor which are worthy of note, as exhibiting her Majesty's generous thought in regard to the pleasures of her subjects. Mr. Gibson's at tention was directed to the position occupied by a statue, the work of Mr. Wyatt. Passing into another apartment, a place was pointed out as that originally selected for it. Gibson saw at once that this was a site far more advanta geous to the production of his friend, and said so. Her Majesty immediately replied, " 1 think with you; but if placed here the people would not be able to see it." Dur ing one of the sittings the Prince of Wales was brought into the room. Mr. Gibson said—" Your Majesty, lam a Welshman ; will your Majesty allow me to kiss the hand of the Prince of Wales?" The Queen looked pleased, and was pleased, end the sculptor did his devoir as a courtier. —Art Union. THE NATIONAL BOARD V. THE SCRIPTURES.—Onthe 4th August last Sir R. Peel stated that " in 1,000 of the schools in connection with the National Board the Scrip tures are read daily," and referred to a paper laid on the table in the last session, that in the preceding year they had thus been read in 944 schools, an from this the right hon. baronet drew his conclusion for the instruction of the Protestants of Ireland. It is evident that it must have escaped his recollection in the hurry of debate, that not five minutes before, in reading the statistical account of the Board, he stated there were 2,912 schools under the system : if in these the Scriptures are read but in 1,000, of course there are 1,912 in which they are not read. This is on his own statement from the report of the Board : hence the right hon. baronet concludes— " So therefore"—that is, because the Scriptures are read in little more than one-third of the schools, and because they are not read in little less than two-thirds—" so, therefore," he concludes, " the report is totally without foundation, that there is any prohibition of the reading of the Scriptures in these schools" Certainly a most extraordinary conclusion ! Does the right hon. baronet by " these schools" mean only the 1,000 schools in which he says the Scriptures are read ? If so, he leaves two thirds of the schools out of the premises from which alone he could draw such a conclusion as to the National Board. —Jr Ghee's Letter. THE EXPOSURE OF PRIESTLY IMPOSTURE.—We are often told in this country, when alarm is expressed at the growth of Catholicism, that the whole spirit of the Catho lic church is changed ; that it keeps pace with the spread of knoWledge and literature. When, in answer to this, we point to the state of popular superstition on the conti nent, and particularly in philosophical Germany, where it exists side by side with Protestantism ; when we refer . . to the absurd legends and charm-books still read by the common people ; to pilgrimages of not thousands, but millions yearly to certain images and relics, we are again told by those who profess to speak from actual know ledge, that the Catholic church and the Catholic clergy are as hostile to these things as we are, and wish them expunged from the minds of the people. We have said, if this be the case, what hinders popes, cardinals, and bishops, from ordering all the rubbish of old skulls, teeth, and toes of fictitious saints to be flung out of the cathe drals and churches, and good sermons to be preached, and good books to be diffused against such childish follies, and for truth and enlightenment ? But here comes a case that offers itself as a real test of the true doctrine and practice of the Catholic church. Some of our readers most likely know that for a long time a garment has been exhibited in the cathedral at Treves, which the bishop and priests de clared to the poor people to be the actual coat of our Sa viour, without a seam. To this miraculous coat thou sands and tens of thousands of eager devotees have all the summer been flocking. The scenes of misery, licentious ness, and even death, on the roads thither, have been such as to shock all reflecting and humane people. It did not matter that there are three or four of these coats now ex hibiting in different parts of the continent ; that only, in the eyes of the besotting people, made the miracle the greater. The trade of holy imposture in the exhibition of these coats has been a most profitable one. Amongst the Catholic priests, however, was found one Abdiel, one ho nest and noble-hearted man, in whom the love of truth and his fellow-creatures was too strong for his prudence and priestly craft. He denounced the imposture. In a noble letter to the Bishop of Treves—a nobler we never read— he called upon him to put an end to the impious imposi tion, and declared that the holy Catholic church did not depend on relics and superstitions, but on the divine This admirable letter doctrines of the Redeemer into the newspapers, and what was the consequen the church applaud, or even appro\e ? No; Range immediately called upon to deny the letter. He refused, and was threatened with excommunication. He stood fast by his letter, and on the 3d of the present month he was formally excommunicated and degraded in the Cathedral of Breslau. Through the whole affair nothing could be more humble, Christian, and yet independent, than the conduct of Ronge. Hn foresaw that his zeal would 'vic timize him, yet he did not hesitate. When from various parts of Germany silver cups and other presents of value were sent him by Protestants, from admiration of his con duct, he steadily refused to receive them, declaring that he sought no gain—he desired no fame from his proceed ing—it was the sacred duty of his soul, and that lie main tained himself with the labour of his hands. The man, however, is a ruined man ; and the decisive test to which he has put the cant of progress in his church will never he forgiven him. We shall not be surprised if his life be a very short one, for if he escape poison in his food, the poisoned arrows of priestly malice will leave him little ease. What is, perhaps, most of all, decisive of the Catholic spirit in the educated classes, and those assuming the office of public teachers, is that the Catholic newspapers have joined, con 'more, in denouncing Ronge.—Alias.

Nearly one half of the value raised from this prominent source of wealth is from that state alone. With the exception of New York and Maa sachmietts, she is the greatest manufacturing state. No , other state has so deep a stake in the continuance of the tariff as Pennsylvaniri. The duties laid on coal and iron are her shield aid protection. Were the duties taken off she could not work her mines to any advantage, and the probability is that in five years this great source of wealth would dwindle down to an insignificant sum.

The eastern and middle states are the Iv 1 manu facturing districts. - The southern and south-western states, Louisiana and Virginia excepted, have but a small portion of manufactures. The question of state boundaries is one seemingly certain to entail constant trouble on our American friends. We have some particulars of a contro versy now going on as to the boundary of Missouri, and it would seem that our friends, of such nice jealousy on this point, are quite as hotly at war with themselves as they were formerly with us on the State of Maine business. It appears from paragraphs which we observe in the Mis souri papers, that the question of the northern boundary of the state is not yet determined, and that the convention of delegates of the people of loway, which was lately as sembled for the purpose of forming a state constitution, has laid claim to a large tract of territory claimed by the people of Missouri, as a part of that state. The question in dispute is whether the state of Missouri is legally bounded on the north by what is called " the old Indian rage weekly delivery of 27,241 bales, against 26, in 1843, and 22,920 bales in 1812.
