GENERAL PRIM'S ARRIVAL IN
PORTUGAL.

The Patric gives the following details respecting
General Prim'e arrival in Portugal :

When the insurgent leader arrived—at the frontier he had
only with him 360 men oat of the 800 whom he bad led
away from Aranjues and Ocagna. The others bad either
made their submission or fallen into the power of the royal
troops. He had at fleet determined to enter Portugal in
arms, but he learnt on the 19th from a sure Midi that
the cabinet of Lisboa bad declared that if the in-
surgents endeavoured to pees the frontier with
their arms, it would authorise the Spanish troops to pursue
thorn into the Portuguese territory. This inteilligesee
modified his resolution sad induced him to deliver up to

The eons of Mr. William Johnson, brother of the
President, have published a letter in the American papers
confirming the reports that their father, who was accident-
ally injured by the discharge of his own gun, died for want
of surgical treatment, the Confederate surgeons of the vial-
nity refusing to render any aesistanos, on the ground that
Mr. Johnson was a brother of the President. The accident
occurred at Velasoo, Terse, and the family were obliged to
send t. Columbia, one hundred mills distant, for a Federal
surgeon. When applied to for their professional ministra-
tions the medical faculty of Velum replied that there were
lee many Johisions.

M. bollfus, of Mulhausen, last year established
at his owls cost a post of observation, in the interest of
seism, on the Col de St. Theodnle, in the Valais, 3,400
acres above the level of the sea. Three guides of the
country consented to take up their abode there in August
last, and to remain the whole winter, recording their ob-
servations in conformity with instructions given them.
Whether they will be able to codes* the difficulties of the
position and the intense cold is not yet known. Moos

THE PROPOSED ENDOWMENT OP THE 20,1
OATHOLIO CHURCH IN IRELAND.
At a public meeting of the National Allsopiit,.
held at Dublin yesterday in the Rotunda, the letrar7"
read from the Archbishop of Cashel (Dr. Leahy),
we polished a stunniary last eves*. This Was eel
drowsed to Alderman J. B. Dillon, H.P., and ltel.uoi
evoked loud applause.
Sir Henry Winston Barron. M.P. for Waterford, This.

Ireland than this hedge of conquest."
The High Sheriff of Westmeath wrote to sear 14=4
from the association, because it seams to his, by ftei
resolutions adopted in the connattee, that the aseociimi
ha. adopted the policy of " indlepsedest opposition,.-.. -

THE LOW LODGING HOUSES OP NEW
Some facts presented in the animal report I
Metropolitan Police Commissioners at New York,
tamed in the file of journals delivered to-day, will
comparison with any of Dr. Letheby's reports, or the:
tire of the amateur . easeal." We lean from them ,
in • single precinct in the Fourth Ward :
"There are sixty places, or dens, where the wretchd
poor, the criminals, and the depraved resort to lodge, pay*
from ten to fifteen cente, per night for the mistral,'
accommodation. The places are chiefly in cellars, •
naked stone or brick walls, damp and decayed f
without beds and bedding fit for human beings. Thr.
•
mainly unventilated or lighted, except through the sink,
door. In condition they are filthy and disgusting
beyond description, overflowing with vermin and infested
by rata. Into these hideous Oscar are packed nisi'"
avenge of tee persons to each place, or six hundred in
aggregate. In violation of the laws of decency mei morality,
men, women, and children, white and black, with
no regard to the family relation, sleep promisee
ollly
together, exhibiting lees of the impulses of decency ••
-
the brute creation. From the character of these ap,
manta, their owners and occupants, and the manner
their use, cleanliness is impossible, and hideous diseases
various abuses and types are engendered and propagated.
While thus occupied they cannot be made decent or hailtby,
and those who frequent them are beyond the reach
reform, except through the strong arm of the law."
Again, in the Sixth Ward, are the following hideous
oreptacles for human beings :
No. 25, Barter-street, two rooms, each 10 by 6, .
feet below the street ; no windows or other ventilation
bare stone walls • no furniture; a dirty, disgusting •
twelve to fourteein lodgers nightly, at ten cents per me_
First floor of same premises a drinking place, the
resort of thieves, beggars, sad prostitutes, of the
lowest class. The captain imays : ' I have seen as lodgers
eighteen of both sexes asleep in the place during the
night.' No. 15, Baxter-street, a cellar, 14 by 114; firs
beds; naked stone walls; no window, light or ventila-
tion ; fourteen persons are acoommodatea at eight caterer
night. No. 16, Mulberry-street, ace room, 14 by ID,
with sine beds, and two beds in adjoining kitchen; twenty
persons, male and female, are lodged at six cuts
per night. The building is the property of as °freer
of one of our city banks, and rents for 6 dole. per month.
No. 51, Baxter-street, second Boor, one room, 8 by 5, ob-
tains three beds, kitchen adjoining; several beds on the
Boor • 18 persons lodge here, at six to eight cents per night;
rest, 7 dots. per month ; owned by a well-known citizen a
Twenty-third-street. No. 141, Leonard-street, sewed
Boor ; two rooms, 055 8 by 10, and kitchen adjoining; eight
to ten lodgers, at eight cents per night."
Other places are spoken of in the Sixth Ward, where
young and old. black and white, thieves and prostitute,
beggars and drunkards, and every kind of abandoned eta-
ranters, herd together, sleeping promiscuously on the de"
and coming forth in the morning to prey on the community.
The captain of the ward speaks of these places as " poi**•
ing the atmosphere" of the whole neighbourhood, sad
spreading abroad disease and pestilence.

The New Orleans Picayune announces a most
agreeable sign of progressing reconstruction, in gm fut
that there is a rage among the young people to settle
down in matrimony. The clergymen are kept going night
and day, like doctors during an epidemic, to respond to the
numerous demands for their services. The Picayune ob.
serves :—" Gentle Hymen follows closely upon the heels of
grim-visaged Hark and the soft breathings of epithilemie
melody 'noosed to the fierce and dissonant clangour of the
war trumpet."

The Diario of Madrid gives au account of the
suicide of Admiral Pareja which somewhat differs from
the details previously mentioned. When be received the
news of the capture of the Covadonga he was sitting don
to table. He ate his dioner without betraying the slighted
emotion, and then went into his private cabin. After s
little time the noise of a deton►tion was heard, and ca
the officers entering they found the admiral with hie
skull blown open by a pistol shot. The next day hi
funeral took place, the corpse being committed to the deep
with the usual formalities.

A young man named Abb4, the son of a farmer
at La Roche (Haetes•Alpes), has just met with his die*
while shooting foxes on the Cons mountain in that seigh•
bourhood. An avalanche of snow gave way beneath his
feet, and rolled with him down into the valley below, a
depth of more than 1,200 yards. The body when found
was fearfully mutilated.

The trotting match for 1001. a side, over a dire
tame of one mile in the Bois de Boulogne, between the
Atnericen Donee Shepherd F. Knapp and Abdallah King,
was woo by the former by twenty yards. The SAMS horses
will run again on Monday next over two miles, and the
following week over three miles, each time for the same
stake ea in the first match.

The celebrated Professor Welcker
(he and the
late Dr. Rafts& were the editors of the far-famed "Cm'
variations Lexicon," published by Brockhaus, of Leipsir)
has offered a reward at Vienna of I,oooil. for the best may
on the means, without having recourse to revoletionsrr
measures, of getting rid of governments which systecusti•
clay violate the eonstitutional rights of the people.
The " water question" has led to such prolonged
and angry discussion in the municipal council of rifler
that a new commission is about to examine three Pal
swinge, in order to see whether they will supply tho
quantity of water which is required by the inhabitants ci
this city. The estimate for the aqueducts, waterworkso
ke., Is no less than 18,000,0008., which sum mast scene
out of the pockets of the Viennese, the stet* being enable
to reader theca say swisisaise.
