moments. In this way the amountof valua-
bic information, on all subjects, with which
all have it in their power to store their
minds, and which by incidental cireum-
stances may be brought to bear on some
useful object, is altogether astonishing
The time that some people are consuming
in Incidence, or with total disregard to
the minutin of general occupation, others
who are aware of the value of knowledge,
are assiduously picking it up wherever it
may be found, and carefully apply it when
ever useful. BY this means q man can
become impregnable on all points; he is
able to say something on all subjects; he
obtains the reputation Of man of intelli-
gence, which leads him TO offices of dis
tincton and Responsibility in the commu-
! nity.

Yesterday friend Of mine who speaks Spanish pass

gentlemen, and when he told them that we were in
favor Of Herrera, they seemed delighted and shook
him by the hand with great good will In this place
there less than five hundred priests, and they
being owners Of half the town, exercise, indepen
lent of their holy calling, great influence over the
'eople. They treated with great respect too, BY
our own people. Every officer, non-commissioned

Streets and day or two ago. when the bishop visit

emained al present until his holiness had passed

method is evidently to conciliate the clergy. Tothe
