ard religious conscience of each individual bishop,
whereas its success must depend cr. th., vig;lant c:Irc
of the pastors, en the various cautions to be adopted,
and on the future experience, which time will Fuppv•
That, however, so momentous a question should not, he
dismbrsed without suitable counsel and precaution,,, the
Sacred Congregation has decided ou giving the.follow-
ing admonitions:—

" 1st. That all hooks which contain any noxious mat-
ter, either against the canon or the purity of the sacred
scripture, or against the doctrines of ;be Catholic
Church, or morality, ought to be removed Irons the
schools ; and this can be the more easily effected, be-
cause there is no law of the said system opposed to it.
" That every effort is to be made that none but
a Catholic preceptor shall give religious, moral, or his-
torical lectures to the Catholic schoolmasters in the
model school ; for it is not fitting that a Catholic should
be taught the method of giving instructiva in religion
or religious history by one who is not a Catholic.
;1d. That it is much safer that literary instruction
only should be given in mixed schools, than that
the fundamental articles, as they are called, :.nd the
articles in which all Christians agree, should alone
be taught there in common, reserving for separate
instruction the tenets peculiar to each sect ; for this
manner of acting, in regard to children, appears very
dangerous.

"-Ith. That generally the bishops and parish priests
should carefully watch that no taint be contracted by
the Catholic children from this system of national in-
struction, through any cause whatever ; and that it is
also their duty strenuously to endeavour to obtain from
the Government by degrees a better order of things
and more equitable conditions, The Sacred Congre-
gation is also of opinion that it would be very
useful that the school-houses should be vested exclu-
sively in the Bishops or the parish priests. It is fur-
ther of opinion that it would be of very great advantage
that the Bishops should frequently confer together on
this very important subject in their provincial synods ;
but that should anything unfavourable occur, the Apos,
tolic See should be carefully made acquainted with it,
that it may at once provide for the exigency.
" In fine, the Sacred Congregation desires that,
henceforward, the Bishops and other Ecclesiastics
should refrain from contending on this controversy in
the newspapers or other such publications, lest the
honour of religion, their own characters, or Christian
charity, should be injured, to the disedification of the
people.

" These are what I had to make known to your
Grace, in the name of the Sacred Congregation, that
they way be communicated by you to the Right Reve-
rend theSuffragan Bishops:of your metropolitan province.
" Now, the matters which I have above communi-
cated to you, your Gram will easily understand to be
of such a nature that, if they are carefully attended to,
it is to be concluded that, in this most important affair,
the interests of religion, of peace, and of youth, are for
the present sufficiently provided for.
" In the meantime, 1 pray God to give your Grace a
long and happy life.
" Given at Rome, At the Propaganda, the 16th of
January, 1841.

LOVE AaND MURDER IN THE

)joined. account is given by the Oriental 01-

No individual was better known in Pera than Louis
Soulier, the dirlotor of the Circus. When he passed
on his beautifill horse ' Superbe,' people pointed at
him, and whispered c'est lui meme.' Franconi was not
more renowned in Paris, nor could the fame of Du-
crow in Londoa exceed that of Soulier here. He was a
handsome and ',remarkably powerful man, though rather
too material fot great agility. Finding that people here
got tired of looking at horses run round a ring, with
men, women, trzad children standing on their backs, and
that his circus: was consequently but a beggarly ac-
count of empty boxes,' he some two or three months
ago, sent off 'his family, horses, black slaves, and
splendid dresses to Bucharest, where they were to
await his arrival, and in due time he intended to make
a triumphal (nary into Vienna, in the character of a
conqueror ret zrning from the East. But alas! l'homme
propose, etc. His wife's eldest daughter, Madelena
de Bach, haxl just bloomed into womanhood, and,
being a good looking girl of sixteen, it was very natural
that some yo.ath or other should fall desperately in love
with her, ani that she should return his passion. One
of the horse! nen, and the best looking of the troop,
young Tardini, was the favoured swain, but he and
Soulier not rt:greeing, he left the company some time
back, and turned horsedealer here. When Madelena went
off for BuchatTest, however, he sold his nags, shut up
his stables, and galloped off himself in the same direc-
tion. He n sooner arrived at Bucharest than she
sloped with Han, and, not to be suffering for want of
ways and means, it is said she took with her jewels be-
longing to h tr mothr to the extent of about 40,000
piastres. To lose daughter and diamonds was rather
too bad ; still there was no remedy till Soulier himself
arrived, so s1c remained quiet in the meanwhile.
A month afte rwards he reached Bucharest, and lost no
time in seekin g and finding Tardini, who, aware of his
approach, ha,1 armed himself with a brace of pistols.
Soulier held has his hand a whip, with which he cont-
menced belal»urin,g Tardini after having discharged at
bins a volley tvf abuse. Tardini lost no time, produced
his pistols, and warned the enraged father-in-law
to keep his ,distance. The latter was a man of im-
petuous cour tge. Instead of withdrawing, therefore, as
a more prudetit aatagonist would have done, he sprang
forward to seize and disarm Tardini, but, before he
could reach him, fell dead on the spot. Tardini had
fired, and his ball had passed through Soulier's head !
We have not seen an authentic account of the affair,
and have heaA many versions of it, but the above is the
one most gee eraliy credited. The deceased was exceed-
ingly violen..t and quarrelsome ; and had, it is reported,
severril persons in duels, so that he was a very
likely man t o end in this way."
