The French government journal, the Pays, has

be unworthy of any consideration, and " nothing better
than • brigand."

" A rumour was current yesterday," says the
Italia of Naples of the 19th, " that St. Januarius would
not this year perform hie accustomed miracle, in come-
quenoe of the heretics and excommunicated persons who
are at the present moment forming impious plots
against the Holy Father. The saint would not, bow•
ever, inflict such an affront on his native city
for the few hair-brained men who are now com-
mitting, Heaven knows, what sacrilege. This morn.

Mon in the miraculous phials. A cannon shot announced
to the twelve qu►rters of Naples that St. Januarins has
performed the miracle promptly, which means that all the
paces of the Lord will be poured down on Naples."
REPRESENTATION Of MERTIIYR. Mr. B. T.
Williams, who recently visited Merthyr with a view
to oontessing in the liberal interest the second seat gives
to the borough by the new Reform Bill, has now definitely
offered himself as a candidate.

THE BIRMINGHAM FREE LIBRARIES AND Niwg
Roods.—The Free Libraries Committee has resolved
to alter the hour of closing the Reference L'brsry
and their news rooms from nine to ten o'clock
p.m. This will still further extend the useful-
nen of these institutions, as it is only in the evening
that many persons can use then, and the crowded state of
the rooms at night shows sufficiently the desire that exists
for the information and pleasure they afford. We see, too,
from a recent notice, that increased facilities for the bor•
rowing of books have been devised. Instead of two gnr
ranters being required for all borrowers, one now 'name
in the case of non-burgesses—while persons on the burgess
list are entitled to have books simply on their own guano-
tee. With from two to three thousand perms daily using
the news rooms, and an isms of more than a thousand
volumes per diem from the lending libraries, the corm
mittee might feel entitled to rest, but success seems not
to satisfy, but to stimulate them to further effort.—Bir.
ming/lass Pose.
THE PAIC-ANGLICAN SYNOD.—The proceedings of
the Synod were formally opened at 11 o'clock yesterday
morning with the celebration of the service of the Holy
Communion in the chapel of Lambeth Palace. A few
minutes after 10 the gates of the palace were thrown open,
and for the next hour the bishops who intended to take part
in the conference continued to arrive in close succession,
some in carnage*, many in Hansom cabs, while the Bishop
of Labuan and a few others, as became the more primitive
habits of missionary life, walked to the place of meeting.
The Bishops of Loudon and Oxford were among the last to
reach the palace. The Epistle at the service, which wee
prefaced by some introductory observations from the Aryl•
bishop of Canterbury, was read by the Archbishop of Dub.
lin ; the Gospel by the Archbishop of Armagh. When the
service had terminated the whole of the bishops retired
into the hall in which the conference is being held. Per.
mission to attend at their deliberations was refused to the
representatives of the press, and the only persons allowed to
be present are two shorthand writers who have been engaged
to take notes of the proceedings. The total number of
bishops composing the synod is, we believe, 76. The Arch-
bishop of 1 ark is not one of the number. Some other
English prelates are also absent from its meetings. The
sittings yesterday lasted five or six hours.
UNIVERSITY COLLEGE HOSPITAL. —There was a
deficit of no lees than 3,5001. in the income of this institu-
tion last year, which may be easily accounted for by the
faet!that 1,560 initatienta reoeived the benefit of medical
and surgical treatment, while the out-patients, including
those wbo applied for medicine and advice while suffering
from diarrhora, numbered over 30,000. The committee have
been compelled to undertake the enlargement of the build-
ing owing to the quantity of applicants for 1111111iNkle into
the house who have daily to be rejected for want of mom.
The income, ander iscrearied expenditure, must fall stiff
mere beneath the expenditure, limbos the subscriptions of
the wealthy sad benevolent cone to the eminence of the
funds.
