THE “ NO-POPERY " CRY.

The Guardian publishes the following letter
send you an account of an occurrence
whi,l 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, " I aril
no Papist, but I tell you that your behaviour is
scandalous: Those gentlemen have as much right
to walk in the public streets as you have ;"
to
which I was answered, " A'o, 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 fanatic 3
would be useless, I walked away, and, as I left
them, they honoured me by again shouting out,
" .No Popery." They were not intoxicated.

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 1
have the honour to address myself to you to-day'
desiring, as we do at the outset of our operations,
to enter upon friendly relations with the eminent
Royal Agricultural Society of England. W 0
shall be happy, Monsieur le Duc, to follow in your
steps, and all communications which you may be
good enough to address to us will be to us of greet
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 dole:
gates to the exhibition of July 12 to 21 preparea
by the Royal Agricultural Society of Englaucl•
The Secretary-General of the Society of Agricultu-
rists of France will have the honour to send to the
secretary-general of your society the names °f
our delegates ; and we are assured beforehand e'
the sympathetic welcome which they will receive
at your great meeting. —I have, &c., DRotrYll PS
LIIUYS." •
Mr. A. W. Young, the comedian of Wallack's, is at the
Montreal Theatre, where he is the stage manager. A
Mr. Vining Bowers plays an engagement in MontreP
this summer, and probably will then go to Europe.
Mlle. Hedwwig Raabe, the German actress, who ig cow
ing to America, is a baautiful• blonde, with large blue sYfe
and long golden ringlets. She is the pet actress of ta
Russian Court, and the Czar's second son was at one tinie
so desperately in love with her that he insisted upon n3ar-
rying her, which of course he didn't.—New York, Citizete
The Spirit of the Times says : —San Francisco is t,"".,
only city in the Union which supports a decent drauis-,t
newspaper, and the Dramatic Chronicle, although disttil
bated free, is at once spicy, instructive, and criticel•
has a daily circulation of eight thousand, and that, rerun',
bar, in a town of only about a hundred and twenty thotl_
sand inhabitants. There is also a smaller, but very cleirnriee
little theatrical sheet called the Critic. No extraysgsl:be
which California might commit would surprise us ill "01
least. Schneider, Nilsson, Patti, Titiens, and Parcel eh
singing on one stage, with Strauss leading and Offeabairo
directing a specially arranged opera, would be no Ittar

in that country of dramatic and operatic surprises.
Mr. lieffeuegger, of San Francisco, has reeelle,„;
invented a new explosive compound, which differs IL"0,
gunpowder, in being more powerful and rapid in its sri,
tion, yet applicable as rifle or gunpowder. In ono es Wog
meat a block of iron, with a bore in its upper surface, /Ina
charged with six grains of Hefenegger's powder ao
fired, with a small anvil weighing six P°,11,1100
placed over the bore ; the anvil was thrown t
its scat, while two ounces of gunpowder did 1111-a
move the anvil. Sixty grains of the new cooleito
(one-eighth of an ounce) threw the anvil forty feet
the air. A 4-inch shell, with a chamber only one inch,:
diameter, was charged with half an ounce of the prePt'':
tion, and burst into numerous fragments. Common Oin
powder could not have burst such a shell. This C°.:
pound is perfectly safe to handle and transport, and,
dergoes ch3mical change or deterioration by the is'r
of time. It is made from dry compounds, and can be Pr"„
;
pared of any strength desired, so as to be used as adet°to
iug powder or for common gunnery. The inventor "t'
also a self-igniting match which is made upon the leo
by simply placing a few drops of a liquid preparationl4
any combustible substance, su2h as paper, linen, 09twi;
&c. The liquid can be so prepared as to ignite sP°nt3t;
ously in from five to fifteen minutes, or longer if desio.l,6
All the experiments were made with this self-he:to
liquid, no ordinary match being used in firing anY c).`

Messrs. Rives and Bailey (reporters alai'
