<Catholicism. his recent discourse in
Boston, speaking ofshe present condition Of
Spain, DR.. Baird said that in the city Of
Seville, where there were once seventy
monasleries, there are now but three. In
this protestant land, the Roman Catholics
buy up church property. In Roman CATH
olic Spain they sell it. In the two most
protestant countries in the world, England
and the United States, Romanism is ra-
pidly increasing. 10 Spain and Italy, two
of the most Roman catholic countries in
the world, there is strong tendency to-
ward pro,estanisn. II is extremely diff
cult 10 account for these changes in opin-
ion, but il seems that in the anxiety 10 era
dicae evils from a foreign land, our own
country is left defenceless. While England
and The United States are spending large
sums for The propagation Of protest anism
in catholic countries, those catholics are
annually spending still larger sums for The
propagation Of their peculiar doctrines in
England and the United Slates.-Ne,Uber

Ne,o Cluster Of Stars.-Professor Nit
ehell, as we learn from the Cincinnati Her
aid, has discovered new cluster Of stars,
to which he. has given the name of Be-
echolde.--Their appearance is said TO be
singular. They are ola blue liuge, and
emit all unsteady light. They seem to
revolve in spiral orbit. They are sub
arranged into ten distinct agslomerations,
which are still farther subdivided. The
number of STARS in This cluster is about one
thousand, but their celestial situation is
moi noted.
A Case ofT7arring and Feathering.-
We derive from the N. Y. Tribune the
following facts relative TO the lalcs. outrage
practised on Long Island, N. Y. ltap-
pears that The mate Of the brig Preble,
which vessel arrived at Port Jefferson
about Two weeks since, fell in love with a
pretty girl living in the place, and aftor an
acquaintance Of three days proposed mar
riase and was accepted. On returning
from the minister's house, on the evening
Of the wedding, the bride and groom were
attacked by party of men and boys, who
after severely beating The gentleman
aforesaid, dragged hia in very uncer-
emouious manner from the wagon, and
after still greater abuse Of his person, tar
red and feathered him. 1t seems that her
parents are satisfied with The match, and
no reason can be assigned for this brutal
conduct, unless that certain oflhe party
were troubled with the green.eyed monster.
Twenty-Five Of the parry have been arrest

resentalives on Tuesday, authorizing the

Starvation at Sea.-The Boston Post
states that three vessels wero boarded on
the oath inst, from Nova Scotia, each

mon, women and children. and not par.
ticle Of bread in either vessel. They were
supplied with sufficient for their imm ediate
