A GENTLEMAN IN A STATE OF CYCOLOGY.—An
elderly man was found in the fields at Hampstead
on Thursday morning by some labourers, without hat or
coat, and his clothes completely covered with mud. He was
in a very exhausted state, and had evidently been out in the
rain all night. On being asked how he got in a such a con-
dition, he said he had been to Mr. Addison's house in St.
John's Wood, to see some spiritual manifestations, and
that under Mr. Sothern's directions, he had endeavoured
to cycologise some of the gentlemen present ; that he suc-
ceeded with one, who became very violent, and who, after
throwing everything in the room at him, seized a knife
and swore to have his life ; that he fled the house, and to
escape the pursuer ran into the fields and hid himself in a
ditch, whore he remained all night afraid to move. The
poor man was taken home, declaring he would never again
try the effect of such a dangerous power, and which had
nearly cost him his life. The gentleman he cycologised,
he stated, was Mr. Toole, the favourite comedian of the
Adelphi Theatre.
WHAT THE EARLY BENEDICTINES DID.--The

depths of paganism. It has been estimated that they were
the means of converting upwards of 30 countries and
provinces to the Christian faith. They were the first to
overturn the altars of the heathen deities in the north of
Europe ; they carried the Cross into Gaul, into S axony,
and Belgium; they placed that Cross between the abject
misery of serfdom and the cruelty of feudal violation ;
between the beasts of burden and the beasts of prey—they
proclaimed the common kinship of humanity in Christ the
Elder Brother. Strange to say, some of its most distin-
guished missionaries were natives of our own country. It
was a Scottish monk, St. Ribanus, who first preached the
Gospel in Franconia—it was an English monk, St. Wil-
fred, who did the same in Friesland and Holland in the
year 683, but with little success—it was an Englishman,
St. Swibert, who carried the Cross to Saxony, and it was
from the lips of another Englishman, St. Ulfred, that
Sweden first heard the Gospel—it was an Englishman and
a Devonshire man, St. Bonifaco, who laid aside his mitre,
put on his monk's dress, converted Germany to the truth,
and then fell a victim to the future of the heathen Fries-
landers, who slaughtered him in cold blood. Four Bene-
dictine monks carried the tight of truth into Denmark,
Sweden, and Gothland, sent there in the ninth century
by the Emperor Ludovicus Plus. Gascony, Hungary ,
Lithuania, Russia, Pomerania, are all emblazoned on their
banners as victories won by them in the fight of faith ;
and it was to the devotion of five martyr monks, who fell
in the work, that Poland traces the foundation of her
Church. —Dublin University Magazine.

THE FIRST FENIAN.—Finn, better known in Ire-
land as Finn M'Comhail, flourished in Ireland dur-
ing the third century of the Christian era. It is the
general opinion among the common people that Finn was
a giant, some say sixty feet in height. Warriors, like Finn,
who pass away in the twilight of history, leave long sha-
dows bahind them. We find it difficult to believe that
great heroes were little men. This Finn is the Fingal of
Macpherson, who has made a Scotchman of him. The
poet Thomas Moore, in his " History of Ireland," says, It
has been the fate of this popular Irish hero, after a long
course of traditional renown in this country,
where his
name still lives, not only in legends and songs, but in the
yet more indelible record of scenery connected with his
memory, to have been all at once transferred by adoption
(kidnapping wo should say) to another country (Scotland),
to start under a new but false shape, in a fresh career of
fame. When "Tommy Moore" penned these words, he little
thought that the great hero and supporter of the Royal house
of Cormac was to start, or to be started, a third time, as
the leader or representative of a set of Red Republicans,
of adventurers and shopboys. It is enough to make the
ghost of this Irish hero burst the bars of Hades, and de-
nounce these beggarly
rebels, whom he would not have em-
ployed as 4‘ (Latins," or horseboys, to his cavalry. " This
celebrated warrior," says Dr. O'Donovan, in his notes on
the "Annals of Ireland," " had two grand residences .fn

He was son-in-law of King Cormac, and general of his
standing army, which, as Pinkerton remarks, seems to

have been in imitation of the Roman legions."---Shilling

. .
The Provisional Governors of North Carolina
and Mississippi have been removed, and the

Governors elect directed to assume office.
The Governor of South Carolina, upon assuming
office, telegraphed to President Johnson the assur-
ance of his unalterable purpose to aid in upholding
the Federal laws.

and Mississippi are flocking to the large towns,
fearing a negro outbreak at Christmas. No negro

Virginia, where a coloured mob released two
coloured prisoners from gaol.

Secretary Seward, in reply to a request of New
York merchants for the friendly intervention of the
United States in the Hispano-Chilian dispute, re-
plied that the friendly offices of the United States
had already been and were still offered, and it was
hoped good would result therefrom.

The owners of the ship Nora, in consequence of
the repudiation by the British Government of the
claim for damages for her destruction by the Ala-
bama, have applied to the Federal Government to
support them in their claim, since they, as private
citizens, have no other means of redress.
It is reported that a movement is on foot for a
compromise between the Fenian factions. Great
numbers are said to favour the retirement both of
o'2lahony and the Senate.

The Hamburg ship Newton, from New York for
Hamburg, has been totally wrecked off Nantucket.
All hands were lost.

Captain Semmes has been arrested by order of
the Government on the ground of having, during
his fight with the Kearsage, hoisted the white flag
and escaped under cover of a cessation of hostilities.
Captain Semmes claims to have been included in
the Sherman-Johnston capitulation.
The Mobile Register of the 19th inst. pronounces
the Government cotton agency system in the South
to be a total failure, a social misfortune, and a source
of the hugest robbery and corruption.
