rate articles on the wealth and richness OF the IA
nous copper and silver mines on tine shore OF Lake
Superior. "Look out for pckpockets."
No doubt can exist but there must be vast mineral
wealth in that region, as the evidence is too strong
to DOUBT the fact. Look outfor pickpockets Yet.the
public have need to be cautious how they connect
themselves with some OF those associations which
are put forth with SO much ostentation and preten-
sion, before they know them well Take care OF
pickpockets. A vast quantity OF SCRIP stock, or
certificates issued by these associations, tor the
purpose of mining, has been brought into the At
lanc cities, and great deal OF il, we have every
reason TO believe, utterly worthless and hardly fit
10 light pipe with. Look out tor pickpockets No
doubt some of these companies, If properly con-
Quoted and well managed, may yield rich returns,
after certain period OF time but as yet the most
of these companies are mere speculauons, and are
more indebted TO Imagination than 10 fact TOR their
increased value. Look out tor pickpockets The
difficulty to all persons wishing 10 purchase, or to
become interested in such associations, is to ascer
tain those that are good and well managed, and Sc
psrats them from those that ale worthless and IN
tended only TO deceive. Look out tor pckpockets.
The safest way is 10 keep aloof from them as long
as possible AMI wait md see the issue of those as
by purchase In short, there are spectators and
pickpockets around abou, the country, and we adj
wise all honest people to keep their right hands on
their breeches pockets, and their left thumb on
their noses. No harm in being on guards there,

MEDIoAL EXPLOSIONS refer our medical
readers (and few others) to the report under the
police head, in this days paper, of examination
held in the matter of Grew and others, against the
celebrated Dr. Comstock, memoer, as he says, o.
the Medical Society OF New York This is only the
beginning of curious investigation, which In time
will traverse channels running in various directions
through all the mazes of medical knowledge and
literature, and ending IN the regions of no where
The state of medical science in New York, is now
IN revolutionary position, and il is necessary that
thorough and radical investigation should be had,
and the best method resorted TO, to produce re-
form. There are many singular things to be brought
to light, which in due time will come out, and asto
nlsh every one in the country, and make Jack Ro-
binson cape. We only advise the public to keep
their eye and their finger too, on this subject, and
they will be surprised il not instructed
CLERICAL ExrLosIoN.-A great deal of sensation
has been produced in certain Catholic circles, by
the sudden disappearance Of learned and plous
Catholic clergyman OF this diocese under circum.
stances that may tend TO legal prosecutions of seve-
raj kinds. The clergyman was recently dismissed
by the Bishop, on account of some lmputations
against his conduct-and it is supposed that he has
gone 10 Boston, IN company with several persons,
mae and female, in order TO sail in the next steamer
10 Europe. Officers OF Justice are in pursuit
We deeply regret all this tor the sake of our holy
mother, the Church ; but If her adyship won't keep
her children in order, we can't help it,
FROM Rio JANEIko.-We are indebted TO CAPTAIN
Howard, of schooner Fashion, who arrived here
last night, for papers from Rio Janeiro to the 18th
ult, the day of sailing. In the shipping department
of the Herald will be seen the list of vessels at Rio
when Capt. Howard sailed. The Rio Journals con-
tain no news whatever, from Buenos Ayres which
is not surprising when the monotory of blockade
is considered and the total absence of activity and
inisuch a case.

SOUTHERN METHODIST Episcopal CHURCH.
Our readers are doubt we'll informed oi the div.
sion which has taken place in the Methodist Church,
on the question Of slavery, and which generated
the organization Of two distinct churches of this
sect, vlz-the Northern, or Abolition Mehodiss,
and the Southern, or Pro-Slavery Methodis,s We
take notice of these things, because they are by no
Insignificant events in the religious history of
the day In which we live.
We now learn, by New Orleans papers, that the
first annual Conference OF the newly organized
church, has been held at that place. Resolutions
were passed, assuming the name OF "The Melho.
dist Episcopal Church. South," approving of the
course OF the Louisville Convention and Delegates,
IN forming this separate orgs nzacn, and recognlz-
ing Bishops Soule and Andrews, with heartfelt
PLEASURE" as Bishops of the methodist Episcopal
Church, South" Such is the substance OF the pro-
ceedings OF this Conference, given by the papers
from the South: The members oil the Methods,
sect, in the South OF course approve of and support
this movement, while II appears to give great satis
faction TO those who are not methodists, generally
as being convincing proof OF the orthodoxy oil
Southern methodlsm on the slavery question, by
their coming out from their tainted brethren OF the
North. THIS Is not the only split the Methodist
Church has lately underground is dividing into ma
ny portions here In the North, all OF which are ex.
ceedingly embittered one against the other As we
may be sure that Kingdom cannot stand long,
when divdedaganst itself, we may regard these
increasing divisions IN the religious world as ndu
bitable forebodings of the not distant overthrow Of
lanatlclsm, hypocrisy, and religious falsehood
Common sense will yet have it's day.
