SENSIBLE Father Mathew, while the honors
were being done to him at the City Hall in Boston,
administered the pledge to about thirty OF his
countrymen. He continued to administer the
pledge, says the Post, till a person who had been
very busy in showing him round the city said to
him--"We- have had enough of this" Father
Mathew replied quistly--"Par me, sir, this is
what come for" So saying he administered the
pledge to three more candidates, who were waiting
at the door.
The apostle is thus sketched by the Boston
Chronoty ype:-F father Mathew is approaching his
ffty-ninth year, having been born in October.
$780, tn ough his appearance does not indicate that
ne is more than fifty years old. His hair is coarse
and dark colored, rather literally sprinkled with
gray. His countenance when in repose has no.
thing striking about it, and seen by stranger he
would be passed by as ordinary man. His eye,
which is the most expressive feature, is rather
large, blue and languid. When not engaged i'll
conversation the eye wears dull expression, the
lips are compressed firmly together, and the whole
face bears the impress of great gravity. He seems
distracted and lost to the circumstances surround
ing him. But when his attention is aroused, those
large blue orbs are lighted up with beautiful lus
ire, and become, indeed, the windows of the
soul. That mouth is relaxed from its nrmness,
and winning smile plays around it., until the
whole countenance is transformed, and we see the
Father Mathew of the temperance reformation.
In view of his immense success reformer, it is
asked by thousands and tens of thousands wherein
his great strength lies.s 1t IS known that he is
great orator in his best estate; he has called
to his aid the beauties and graces of eloquent
speaking; and now less than ever before, because
he is suffering under stroke of paralysis, which
for time deprived him OF the use of his tongue,
and he only speaks now with great difficulty.
But where is the secret of bis strength? 1t is in
his simplicity, his humility, his unfeigned benevo-
ence; his firm conviction that his mission is rati-
fed in heaven, and that he has an all-supporting
arm for his sure defence. Thus prepared, he goes
forth with singleness of purpose, and, turning
neither to the right hand the left, he urges the
high claims of the great cause he has espeused
with earnestness and simplicity that never fails
to draw men unto him.

electric telegraph states that the Vienna
papers protest it evident that unless some
diversion was made in Bans favor IN the
South, he must be completely crushed by
the Hungarian army. Ban has been
driven back to Rumas The route of his
army appears complete. The whole
frontier towards Gallachia swarms with
Hungarian irregular troops. The Nor
thern Russian army has been completely
outwitted by Georgey. The latest news
from Pennsylvania is favorable to the
Hungarians.
The London Herald says that rumors
prevailed at the Paris Bourse that Eng
land and France had agreed to make
joint efforts to put stop to further hostil-
tiles in Hungary through mediation, and
that the rumor was taken up with salts
faction. The impression prevails very
strong in Paris that the Russians will re-
peat the invasion. The effect of Geor-
gey's splendid movements in breaking
through the allied armies will have an
immense influence.

lowing bulletin:
