THE 44 NO-POPERY " CRY.

The Guardian publishes the following letter
send you an account of an occurrence
which I witnessed a few days since, and which
appeared to me sadly suggestive of the revival of
a spirit that every charitable person must hope had
for ever ceased. I was walking through one of
the principal streets of the city, when I heard the
cry, No Popery, no Popery,' and saw two Roman
priests walking, in ordinary attire, along the pave-
ment. They had just been met by two very well-
dressed young men, apparently superior clerks, of
about the ages of twenty-eight and twenty-three,
who were about turning back to follow the ecclesi-
astics, when I stepped across and told them their
conduct was disgraceful. They immediately said,
" Why, they're Popish priests !" I replied, "lam i
no Papist, but I tell you that your behaviour s
scandalous. Those gentlemen have as much right
to walk in the public streets as you have ;" to
which I was answered, "No, they haven't. They're
Popish priests." Having succeeded in arresting
their intention of repeating the insult, and know'
ing that all remonstrance with such fanatics
would be useless, I walked away, and, as I left
them, they honoured me by again shouting out,
"No Popery." They were not intoxicated.

THOS. CHARRINGTON.
Chislehurst, July 27, 1868.

M. Drouyn de Lhuys addressed the following
letter to the Duke of Richmond previous to the
Leicester agricultural meeting :—" Monsieur le
Duc, The Society of Agriculturists of France,
which has just been founded at Paris, has chosen,
me for its president. It is in this capacity that I
have the honour to address myself to you to-daY7
desiring, as we do at the cultset of our operation),
to enter upon friendly relations with the eminent
Royal Agricultural Society of ,England. W°
shall be happy, Monsieur le Due, to follow in your
steps, and all communications which you may be
good enough to address to us will be to us of great
value. Our object is the same ; we consecrate our
common efforts to the prosperity of agriculture.
It is, then, with eagerness that we shall seize the
approaching occasion to strengthen that invisible
bond which already unites us by sending our dele-
gates to the exhibition of July 12 to 21 prepared
by the Royal Agricultural Society of England.
The Secretary-General of the Society of AgrieultiP
rists of France will have the honour to send to the
secretary-general of your society the names of
our delegates ; and we are assured beforehand of
the sympathetic welcome which they will receive
at your great meeting.—l have, &c., DROMZ
Luurs."
Mr. A. W. Young, the comedian of Wallack's, is at 00
Montreal Theatre, where he is the stage manager. 4
Mr. Vining Bowers plays an engagement in Montreal
this summer, and probably will then go to Europe.
Mlle. Hedwwig Raabe, the German actress, who is 0111'
ing to Americe, is a beautiful blonde, with large blue eyes
:tad long golden ringlets. She is the pet actress of the
Russian Court, and the Czar's second son was at one time
so desperately in love with her that he insisted upon mar-
rying her, which of course he didn't.—New York, Citizen'
The Spirit of the Times says:—San Francisco is the
only city in the Union which supports a decent dratuati°
newspaper, and the Dramatic Chronicle, although disiri;
buted free, is at once spicy, instructive, and critical. 1
has a daily circulation of eight thousand, and that, remove'
bee in a town of only about a hundred and twenty thou'
sand inhabitants. There is also a smaller, but very ele1"4„
little theatrical sheet called the Critic. No extravaganc-
which California might commit would surprise us in thil
least. Schneider, Nilsson, Patti, Titiens, and Parepa, el;
singing on one stage, with Strauss leading and OffeanscA
directing a specially arranged opera, would be no Mary
in that couutry of dramatic and operatic surprises. e
Mr. Heffenegger, of San Francisco, has recently
invented a new explosive compound, which differs ire—
gunpowder, in being more powerful and rapid in its 47,
tion, yet applicable as rifle or gunpowder. In ono e%Perit,"
ment a block of iron, with a bore in its upper surface, w a
charged with six grains pf Hefenegger's powder grids
fired, with a small anvil weighing six I)°,11%1
placed over the bore ; the anvil was thrown 11.'"4
its seat, while two ounces of gunpowder did nos'a
move the anvil. Sixty grains of the new conlP°llto
(one-eighth of an ounce) threw the anvil forty feet

is
the air. A 4-inch shell, with a chamber only one inch
diameter, was charged with half an ounce of the prePe7;
tion, and burst into numerous fragments. Common gun'
powder could not have burst such a shell. This CO'—,4
'
pound is perfectly safe to handle and transport, and. fie;
dergoes no chemical change or deterioration by the lera
of time. It is made from dry compounds, and can be P
pared of any strength desired, so as to be used as a &tons,

also a self-igniting match which is made upon the spoof
by simply placing a few drops of a liquid preparation IA
any combustible substance, such as paper, linen, 13°1'

All the experiments were made with this self-igaino
liquid, no ordinary match being used in firing any el t
charges.

lishers of the debates in Congress) have issued the ofgetilele
report of the Impeachment trial. They say—" it lgthoee

the same style as the Congressional speeches.
