FREsNEL's DioPTIIc LIGHTs.-Scientiic men
have Of late years directed much attention to the
best mode of Illuminating lighthouses. Various
plans have been tried and among them that dis
covered by a Frenchman named Fresnel His
dioptric lights are now in use in many Of the Eu-
ropean lighthouses, and with advantages Of the
most decided character. We will endeavor to
explain the principle. The ordinary rejecting
lights contain a parabolical Hector, with lamp
in the focus thereof. Even ,yslen made in the best
manner, but SIN u portion Of the light is reflected
TO the horizon. IL the instrument be out Of adjust
ment, which is frequently the case, or If the figure
or form be imperfect if the surface be soiled or
scratcled-but little light comparatively, Of the
whole quantity produced, is made available. BY
Fresnels Diortric or Kata-D ioptric plan, the
light is placed in the centre Of series of glass
leoses, or prisms, moi readily explained without
diagram. The lamp is csrrel, or mechanical
lamp, aud contains either SINGLE wick, or two,
three, or four concentric wicks, constantly sup
pl ed with oil by series Of pumps. regulated by,
clock work. Nine-tents Of all this light produced
IS rendered available and is sent out TO the whole
circle Of the horizon. More than three hundred
Of these lights are now in use in Europe, where
they are rapidly succeeding the oil rejecting
lights. By the Fresnel invention, the intensity OF
the light is vastly GREATER and if the instrument be
placed high enough, the light can be seen as far as
the curvature of the earth will permit. -Phila

For iIlc Pope.

We learn from the New York Free
mans Journal, of Saturday, that the re-
cent political movements in Rome, q the
consequent position of his Holiness, are
taken deeply to heart by the Catholic &c.
clesasticai authorities in this country.
Bishop Hughes issues circular to The
clergy and Iaity of his diocese, directing
that until farther notice, the prayer pro
Papa be added to the other prayers in
he celebration ofthe mass, and that the
lay uaembers of the Church, both male
and female, shall approach the holy Com
munion once with the intention here in.
dlcated, and in addition to private devo'
tions which they may direct to the same
end, that they shall recite once, in spir'
it of compunciion for their own sins, and
of supplicatioh to God for the protection
of His Church, and the deliverahce of hel
visible head 0nearth, the seven peniten'
tial psalms aud litanies of the Saints"
The same directions are issued by the
r. C. Bishop Of Albany.
The Archbishop Of Baltimore directs
in his arch diocese, as follows:
During one month from this date the
Rev. clergy will say at mass the p,ayeI
for the Pope: -"Deus omnium fidelium.'
&C.; in religious communities the sisters
will daily recite the litanies of the B. V
M. and offer a weekly communion; tn,
faithful, in general, are exorted to per
form the same devotions, or others rec
ommended by their spiritual directors.
