Six Years of Editorial Life.

Six years ! 'Tis but a brief period in the life of
a man ; briefer still in that of a nation ; insignifi-
cant in the history of the world. Yet, what mo-
mentous events may be crowded into that brief
space of time ! Even in ordinary life the influences
which it may exercise on a man's career and destiny
are ofttimes of no little importance. In six years
—aye and within a much more restricted period—
the whole purpose and tenor of one's life may be
changed, and a career opened up of which there erat
was no foreshadowing. But, good reader, have you
ever thought of how much " life" is comprised in an
editorial career of a few years? We do not refer
to the outer life of the newspaper—to that which
presents itself to the eye of the public. We speak
rather of that inner life—that life of thought and
study—which the conductor of a public journal
necessarily leads. He, as it were, enacts over again
day by day, in imagination, all the varied scenes
which the more prominent actors on the world's
stage aro presenting in real life. Ever on the look
out, constantly on the watch, his mind always occu-
pied more or less with subjects of interest to the
world at large (and therefore of little interest to
the thinker himself), his inner life—whatever may
be the popular idea regarding it—is not an enviable
one. Expected to be " up" on all subjects, from that
of an international quarrel, which may set the con-
tinent of Europe in a blaze, to that of the respective
merits of the candidates for a seat in a local council
board, it is little wonder if at last he feels as if he
lived not in himself at all, as if he had no personal
life, as if his whole existence were wrapped up in
" passing events." Happy is he who, leading an
editorial life, can at will shake off the "editor,' and
even for a few hours emerge " the man." The task,
we fear, is a difficult one, and can only be accom-
plished by men of peculiar temperament. The
journalist, in most cases we believe, is the journalist
still—in the bosom of his family as well as in the
study ; in the recraotiva walk as well as at the desk ;
in the midst even of the festive assembly does his
profession haunt him like a spectre, and go far to
prevent that unbending from the serious business
of life which is so necessary to the maintenance of
bodily health. In no other profession, perhaps, are
the exigencies of thought and study so incessant as
in that of the journalist. In scarcely any other
profession, probably, is there that entire absence of
occasional relief from responsibility. Did we not
say truly that in six years the journalist " lives" a
great deal more than most men do in the same
period ? Wexford Constitution.

7he Proposed Prize Fight in Ireland.

THE PUGILISTS " FIGHTING SHY."
DUBLIN, Tuesday Night.

Owing to the parties not being able to agree on the choice
of a referee, the intended fight between Mace and Coburn
did not take place. It was however thought that as there
was a promise given to have Coburn in the ring, Mace
would also appear, and a referee would be chosen on the
spot, This, however, was not the case. Shortly after 1
o'clock to-day Coburn and his party proceeded to a demesne
near Cashel, and staked out the ring, in which Coburn ap-
peared, in order to be able to claim forfeit. An agent ap-
peared on the part of Mace to protest.
Ample provision had been made by the authorities
for the preservation of the peace, and it is probable that
if the pugilists had met the fight would have been pre.
vented. -

DUBLIN, Tuesday.

The expected battle between Mace and Coburn did not
come off. It was, according to Coburn's nomination on
Friday, to take place between Goold's-cross Station arid
Cashel, but the representatives of the men disagreed yes-
terday about the selection of a referee, and those acting fox
Mace stated that they woul I return to England that even-
ing. Coburn's agent declared that his man was anxious
for a fight, and would appear at the proper hour at the ring
side. Neither Mace nor any of the pugilists who visited
Dublin came dawn by any of the trains yesterday or to-day.
Coburn is believed to be in the vicinity of Goold's-cross,
but he has not shown, nor does his agent appear to know
his whereabouts. The match therefore is bdlioved to be
off. On all the stations from Kildare to Limerick June-

tion the police are on the alert, and several persons, mis-
taken for Mace and Coburn, have, it is said, been arrested
on the line.

The Limerick Chronicle states that Coburn, accompanied
by his friends, faced the spot intended for a fight amidst
tremendous shouts from an. immense multitude assembled.
It is expected he will claim the stakes, owing to the non.
appearance of Mace.

DUNDRUM, Tuesday.

Coburn, it appears, was slopping at a farmhouse near
Goold's-cross. The police searched for him, but he escaped.

The following letter, addressed by Arcllbish3p Cullen,
to the clergy of his diocese, is published in yesterday's
Freeman :

Dublin, Feast of the Angel Guardians, 1861.

Very Rev. Brst'iren—My attention has been called by
some respectable gentlemen to a report very widely circu-
lated that this city, or its vicinity, is to be made the theatre
of a single combat between two foreign pugilists, who are
about to expose their lives to imminent danger for a certain
sum of money. This report must be the source of great
regret to everyone who is embued with the spirit of Chris-
tian charity, and who recogniros in his fellow-man the
image of the great Creator of the universe. It is not neces-
sary to call on you to use all your influence to preserve this
Christian country from an exhibition so disgraceful and so
well calculated to degrade nature. I shall merely request
of you to publish as soon as possible from your altars that
such combats in which human life is exposed to danger are
prohibited under the severest penalties of the holy Catholic
Church. Passing over the decrees of the Council of Trent,

it will he sufficient to state that the learned Pontiff Benedict
XIV. excommunicates the principal actors in such fights,
their seconds, all who encourage them, and all who designedly
become spectators of such unworthy scenes. If you announce
these penalties from the altar, I am confident that the faith-
ful of this diocese, who are so devotedly attached to th 3
holy Catholic Church, and so obedient to its law, will listen
with contempt to the invitation of those who would impli-
cate them in the misdeeds of foreign gladiators, and will
abstain from countenacing or encouraging anything con-
demned by our holy religion, and contrary to the dictates
of the Gospel. PAUL CULLEN.

ARCHEOLOGY.—In a let ter addressed to M. Elie
de Beanment, Father Secchi of Rome gives an ac-
count of two interesting monuments discovered by him near
Alatri, in the Campagna Romana. This town, of Pelasgic
origin, and celebrated for its Cyclopean walls, is situated on
the top of a mountain, and being at the time of the Romans
ill provided with water, the Censor L. Betilienus Varies, as
a celebrated inscription tells us, caused an aqueduct 340 feet
high to be constructed between Alatri and the neighbour.
ing mountains—it being expressly stated that he built it
with arches, and provided it with strong pipes. The
present researches ordered by Pupe Pius IX., in order
to renew the supply of water to the town, have led to
the discovery of a large portion of the old aqueduct. From
the survey made by Father Secchi, it appears that the lowest
point of the aqueduct lies 110 metres below the highest
point of the town, a figure which concides with the 340 feet
of the inscription. Here, therefore, there is an aqueduct
built 160 years before Christ, in the shape of a reversed
sy phon under a pressure of eleven atmospheres. It is
difficult to say how much water was convey ed by this aque-
duct, but it evidently was sufficient for the consumption of
the town, since the piers of the arches measure no lass
than 5 ft. 9 in, in breadth. The total length of the syphon
is about six kilometres. The other discovery is a field under
which a complete system of drainage was executed by means
of long pipes made of bt ick clay, and on an average a foot and
a half in diameter. They are now stopped up with sediment
and are 2/ metres below the surface of the soil. This field
was probably the parade-ground mentioned in the inscrip-
tion as having been laid out by Betilienus, whose attention
to the interests of his city was well rewarded, since he was
twice appointed Censor, and a statue was erected to his
honour.

PERSONAL ERRORS IN ASTRONOMY.--It is an
ascertained fact that if two or more astronomers
simultaneously observe the same celestial phenomenon, the
passage of a star for instance across the meridian, none of
the results will be perfectly alike, there always being a dif-
ference of several lengths of a second and sometimes of
more than one. As the instruments now employed in
astronomy are as perfect as art and machinery can make
them, the only way of accounting for these discrepancies
is, to attribute them to some inaccuracy in the eye or ear
of the observer, and this in what is called the personal
error. In a paper addressed to the French Academy of
Sciences, M. Faye discusses the subject, showing that
the cause of the error does not lie in one sense alone,
but in the simultaneous use of two senses. This is, in fact,
what the astronomer has to do doing an observation of
the kind above alluded to—he must follow a luminous
point, successivel; passing behind the threads stretched
across the field of the telescope, and he must at the same
time count the tickings of a pendulum clock, marking at
each thread the moment of the disappearance of the lumi-
nous point behind it. These are two simultaneous actions,
and their combination is the cause of the personal or physiolo-
gical error, Several contrivances have been had recourse to
in order to diminish it :—First, every astronomer has been
made to sign his observations, that those of one individual
may not be mixed upwith those of another in the same oalcu.•
lation—then astronomers have been made to change places,
and do the operation over again from a new place, .this
being founden on the supposition that the personal error is
constant; and lastly, a system has been invented in which
the astronomer, while looking through the telescope, has
only to touch a key in order to stop the clock. This latter
method is by far the best hitherto known; but M. Faye
announce■ that MM. Pantamour, of Geneva, and
Hirsh, of Neufchatel, have, in determining the re-
lative longitudes of those places, followed a better
plan, by an apparatus which registers the instant
of the star's passage telegraphically on a given chrono-
scope, while the observer himself registers the moment
when he thinks the passage has taken place, The difference
of the two periods registered determines the personal error,
which turns out to be variable, and dependent upoa the
state of digestion, circulation of blood, or fatigue of the
observer at the time. M. Faye, in conclusion, proposes a
better pian still, that of suppressing the observer alto-
gether, by taking the photograph of the star at a given
instant and registering the latter electrically, both at one
stroke,

THE LAW OF THE SEA.—Congress passed an act
last session creating a new set of rules with relation to lights,
fog-signals, and the navigation of vessels when approach-
ing each other. All vessels,whether steam or sailing vessels,
except pilot boats and open boats, are now required to carry
the peen and red lights, .vhich have heretofore been con-
fined to steamers. Different lights are provided for steam-
tugs, for pilot boats, and open fishing boats. Fog-signals
aro required to be sounded on all vessels every five
minutes during a fog. Some of the common rules of naviga-
tion for vessels when approaching each other have been put
into the form of positive regulations of law, but there are
variations enough in them to require every navigator to
thoroughly familiarise himself with them. We understand
that these rules are similar to the newrules recently adopted
in England. We have not been able to compare them all,
but those which we have seen are in the same words ; and
the importance of having the same rules of navigation apply
to the vessels of one nation as well as of another is so obvi-
ous that a change could hardly have been made. Both
nations should at once exert themselves to have the same
rules adopted everywhere, in order that the uniformity of
the law of the sea be maintained.—New York limes

TIIE FRENCH. FRIGATE AT SUNDERLAND.---The
rejoicings at Sunderland, evoked by the presence in
that port of the French frigate Dance, reached their climax
on Monday. The great feature of the festivities was the
gran.' banquet given to the commodore and officers of the
vessel, and which came off, under brilliant auspices, in the
Queen's head—the Mayor (Mr Jas. Allison) presiding on
the occasion. In the toasts, there was a happy combina-
tion of Franco-Anglican sentiment, expressive of the bond
of unity existing between the two countries, and the pro-
ceedings throughout were characterised by the greatest
harmony. Here, however, the hospitalities of the inhabi-
tants did not atop, for " while they feasted all the great,
they ne'er forgot the small." For the crew of the frigate,
who were joined by a proportionate body of men of the
Naval Reserve now under training on board the Active, a
substantial dinner was provided on board that ship, ant:
here, too, the utmost harmony and good feeling prevailed.
The French man of war was again an object of attraction,
and was honoured by hosts of visitors, the unpleasant
disorder and confusion of the previous day being happily

FATAL LEAP OF A CONVICT FROM A RAILWAY
TRAIN.—On Saturday morning, about ten minutes
Past six o'clock, the body of a man was found on the Liver-
Pool line of the London and North-Western Railway, about
me rails north of Crewe station, by a pointsman named.
Joseph Woods. The man apparentlyhad been killedby a tram,
hts skull being fi ightfully fractured, and the body quite cold
glad stiff when found. He appears to have been between 30
and 40 years of age, dressed in moleskin jacket and trousers,
and worsted cap ; wore a linen shirt, marked " D. 1.," and
had, en his right leg a leg-iron, to which is attached a chain,
Which was carried up the insi3o of his trousers and sus-
pended round his body with a cord. Near him was found
a grey travelling rug, and in his pockets two small rolls of
bread and some cooked beef, The body was removed to the
hospital attached to the company's works to await the coro-
ner's inquest. It has since been discovered that he was one
of
.a number of convicts who were being conveyed by up-
laisal from Scotland to London, and that he jumped from
the train while at full speed near Crewe.
The Courrier de la Drome saya—" The vintage
at the Chateau de l'Hermitage has taken place under ex-
ceptionally favourable conditions, and there is every reason
to hope that the produce will be of a quality equally B°.
The grape-gathering is also over is the greater part of the
Ardeehe, and tho crop is considered most satisfactory both
as regards quantity and quality."
