PROMOTION OF THE VIRGIN.—It is officially announced
that "the Sovereign Pontiff, being desirous of giving to
the most Holy Virgin Mary a mark of his gratitude for the
deliverance of Rome, rescued last year by the French
troops from the enemies of the church, on the day of Vi-
sitation," has :elevated that festival to the double rite of
the second class.
The cholera, after carrying off about 30,000 persons,
appears suddenly to have declined throughout the whole
of the regency of Tunis. Nearly all the victims were

Arabian nomades, who come up every year for the harvest.
Much corn will be lost this year, for while the fields are
standing in rich luxuriance, the crops cannot be gathered
in for want of labourers.

Lola Montes, notwithstanding her sudden disappear-
ance from the sumptuous apartments she furnished in the
Beaujon quarter, seems to be still lingering in the neigh-
bourhood of Paris. Her presence in the suburbs is said
to have been detected by the police from the frequent
visits of her maid to the Monte-de-Piete with lace and
jewels to pledge.

In March last a small cutter called the William and
James, employed in the coasting trade of New Zealand,
while on a trip to Nelson, was seized by the crew, who
sent the captain adrift in the boat, the object of the pirates
being to proceed with the vessel to California. The cap-
tain succeeded in reaching a whaling station at Queen
Charlotte's Sound, whence two boats started in chase of
the pirates, captured them, and delivered them to the
authorities at Wellington for trial.
SAN JUAN FERNANDEZ.—ROBINSON CRUSOE.—A
California emigrant, in a letter to the Belfast Signal,
writes—" At sunrise, on the 11th of March, we made for
the island of Juan Fernandez, celebrated as the residence
-of Al .xander Selkirk, and as the Botany Bay of Chili.
It has only twelve inhabitants, five men and seven women,
all Chilians, with the exception of one man, Governor of
the island, a native of Maine. Peaches are large and
abundant, and compose the principal food of the inhabi-
tants. The valley in which Selkirk lived is pointed out.
and also the caves in the sides of the mountains formerly
occupied by the Chilian convicts.
DANGERS OF BALLOONING IN SPAIN.—The Corunna
papers mention a fact that shows in what state of igno-
rance and brutality the Galician labourers are still
plunged. Madame Sanges, who had made an ascent in
her balloon, descended near the village of &tangos.
Here the peasants, with a priest at their head, brutally
assaulted the poor woman, alleging she was the devil ;
and, had she not been defended by some more civilised
than the rest, she would probably have been killed. The
governor of Corunne has rendered the village pecuniarily
responsible for the damage done to the balloon, and has
Bent the culprits to prison.
We learn from Genoa that the papers seized in the
search made in the dwelling of the archbishop, and also
those in the hands of the Cervite monks, have furnished
the magistrates of Turin with the basis of an accusation
..of a very serious nature. A criminal action will be in-
stituted against the archbishop, who, quite independently
of any religious question, will be brought to trial as a
conspirator. It is said that the charges are sufficiently
serious, and that each day brings to light some fresh in-
trigue. The decision of the court of Rome in this affair
is not yet known. The Pope, after a long deliberation on
this point with Cardinal Antonelli, was unable to arrive
at eny immediate decision. He promised to have ano-
ther meeting on the 16th, after the fetes of the Assump-
tion, " in the hope," said his Holiness, " of inspiration
from the Holy Virgin."
SAINT WORSHIP.—The feast of Peter Fourier, the
Saint of Lorraine, has just been celebrated at Mattam-
court, Vosges, as the Univers informs us, "in the midst
of an ever-increasing assemblage of faithful and pious
pilgrims." There never were, perhaps, so many collected
together to venerate and give the kiss of peace to the re-
lics of this venerable apostle, the process of whose canoni-
sation is now pending at Rome. The festival was pro-
longed nine days, during which period the faithful were
frequently exhorted by two priests of the Society of
Jesus, and the confessors were hardly able to hear the
numbers who crowded the holy tribunal. A new and
beautiftd gothic church, of the style of the thirteenth cen-
tury (France), is being erected to accommodate the people
of the place and the strangers who daily seek the holy
shrine of the blessed Peter Fourier. An English trans's.
Con of the life of this new saint, who is already wor-
shipped, it seems, in anticipation of the Pope's decree, is
Announced.
