 M.umiaatiOn Rf ,NysgTe Eans,-A yasitor at the falls thus writes to the editor of the Brooklyn Star :- The spray which rises from the horse shoe fall to great height, think, contains jet of hy. drogen gaa, and regretted much that had not brought ball of platinum sponge which had prepared with tube and with pole to place in this jet, thus igniting che gas, and producing blaze which would surpass in the sPlendor ot its great corruacatons the great hydrogen walls on the great Kanhawa. The falls would make splendid bon. fire; and if am right in suppOsing column of hydrogen to pass upward from this eataFact, the blaze would be perpetual"
 ANECDoTE IN POINT.
 The following singular anecdOte, related by . correspondent of the Boston Recorder, might find not few applications in modern days:
 The people of one of the out parishes in Virginia wrote to Dr. Rice who was then at the head of the Theological Seminary in Prince Edward, for amin. talents, for they had run down considerably and needed building up. They wanted one who could sUrite wel for some of the young people were very nice about that matter. They wanted one who could visit good deal, for their former minister had neglected that, and they wanted to bring it up They wanted man of very gensienanty deport. gaent, for some thought 2 great deal of that And 50 they went on, describing a perfect minister.-- The last thing they mentioned was, they gave their last minister $a5O; but if the doctor would send them such minister as they had described, they would raise another $50, making it $400. The Doctor sat right down and wrote reply, telling them that they had better forthwith make out acal for the elder Doctor Dwght,ln heaven; for he dl9 not know of any one in this woTld who answered the description, And as Dr. D. had been living 90 long on spiritual food, he might not need SO much for the body, and possibly hemightAiveo on $4o0.
 bssdelity ;s oaio.-We learn that some four or five Societies, calling themselves i" Communilistsi have been organized in 0hio-within few months, on the principles of the pseudo.religous sect.- They maintain the strict equality of all individuals belonging to them, whether rich or poor-lofty or humble; that Christ came to live not to die for us that religion consists in what man does, not in what he deleUes, and that all days are alike holy. If the leaders and organizers of these sects are n telligent men, they know better, flor man in this lapd and nthis age, who has made even moderate infdel. The men who organize societies on prin. ciples of in6defity likeFhe above, assume solemn and terrible responsibility. The blood of souls which they beguile and attract to their community will be found on their skirts, and the God of the Bible will hola them responsible at the day of judgement.
 RenanscsGtsous cf ROmansm.-Two Ronish Bishops in Hungary, have lately joined the Greek or Oriental church. and many others are ready to do the same, and large. part of the Hungarian popu.

 Three Romish priests, subjects of Austria, have recently embraced Protestantism in Breslau: and . prevailing antpathy to Jesutism is reported in Ty- rol. Clearer views of religion are demanded by mntitndes, and they are longing for liberation Romish oppression of conscience.
 .7aorse's Telegraph i,s, F ,Ftnnee.-The Paris cor. respondent of the National Iptelligencer, in cOm. menting on the reception in France of the partic- ailars of the success of the Electric Telegraph be. tween Washington and Baltimore says,
 "Thare is loud call forthe Eleei,ic I1lsgyGph, and the miracles achieved with you by Professor Morse travetin all French Journals"
 Professor M. has secured . pateat for his 'tele. graph in France, but .was.most illiberally denied patent in England. How strangely does this lib- erality of the French contrast with the narrow. mindcdness- of the same invention. Morse's Telegraph waS invented five years before Wheatstone's and the fact is we'll known in England yet in no English notice that we have seen, is there theslietest recognition of this priority. Morse;s is totally different from Wheatsones, and is proved to be in every essential particular superior it is unchanged in these res. poets from'tke very first, while Wheatstone's com. plicated and inefficient at the outset, is every day changing, to bring it nearer to Morse, butstil is far behind.
 .6hi6hepAI Defeated.-A letter from the Rev.. Mir. Chamberlain, of the Sandwich IalaAda, informs US of the destruction of a company of French Ro. mish priests, and emissaries, who had designed to
 make thesei islands the theatre of their false teach ing. Accompany sailed from Eanee in the btig, Jose Maria, on the 18th of November lS42, having as passengers, a Romish ecclesiastic who had been ordained as the Bishop of the Sandwich IslanAs. seven missionaries. sevenmechanics, ten nuns, and others, tosthe amount of forty,two persons This vessel left St. Catharnes, Feb, 23d, 1s43 and was spoken few days subsequently,, but otherwise has not been heard of since. The opiniolds generally, entertainedatlthe Sandwich Ialands, that she must have foundered off Cape Horn, and all on board the Papists in those islands, whch.weye designed to be both numerous and strenuous for the propaga. tion of their egrors and in opposition to the pure religion of the gospel. As yet they have done far less on that field than they haA Aepedlor and the indanendencA of tha government will hv n0 mAana
