FATHER MATTHEW.

We devote some space to the reception of this
distinguished phlanthropist by the municipal au-
thontleS and citizens of New York. The whole

the kind could have been witnessed upon.his ar

ven IN any city OF his own country nor ENGLAND.
has he ever been thus honored, and il would be
dlIlcult to conceive any such general manifesto

cd any where on the Continent. by the presence
OF an unPretendlng individual, not famous as a
soldier, statesman or popular leader and known
only for his burning zeal in the cause Of human.
ty. We repeat that the whole scene was strict
y national and characteristic, and. we-need not
say: highly honorable to our people,
Father Matthew like Lafayette, is the guest of
the nation. He nay travel from Maine 10 Texas,
without the expenditure of a dollar He will
lind every where the public conveyances at his
command-every hotel and every private dwell
ing ready to entertain him. He will, every
where, be received, not merely with civility, but
with cordial enthusiasm, and be treated with
boundless kindness and hospitality which no one
better than an Irishman will know how to appre.
ciate. 1t is said that Gen. TAYLOR intends 10 in
vite him to make a visit at the White House.
We trust, when it shall suit his purposes to re-
turn, the Government may send him. hofne in
NATIONAL ship. 1t is great moral lesson pree-
nant with the most wholesome influences upon
the character and destiny of our people this hon.
age paid to an apostle of benevolence. We have
too long con6ned'our ovations, our triumpha1 pro-
cesslons, our municipal honors, to desert in the

The next arrival will doubtless bring u. decs i
I've intelligence as to the fate of Rome. At the
last dates the state of affairs afforded little hope
that the Republicans would be able TO resist sue
cessfully. Against batterng train, managed
by officers such as the French army possesses,
there is no defence. The city, if not surrender
ed, will suffer dreadfully. The remains Of an
cient art may be destroyed. We hope nothing
may be restored, but the ruins left as a .monu-
ment OF the intamy of the French Governmps
in making the attack. See the poetical col
umn for Punch estimate Of the conduct Of Louis
Napoleon.
The Emperor Of Russia, it would seem, is at
tempting to enlist religious fanaiciSm as an aux
lliary, in his meditated crusade against free ins-
tutlons and liberal opinions. The accounts Of the
successes Of the Hungarians seem TO be somewhat
contradictory, but there can be no doubt that the
Ausrians are hard pressed. We have great con-
6dence in the ultimate triumph of Hungarian ma
tionalty.

THE LEGISLATURE.

We have not copied the proceedings Of the.
Legislature as reported extensively in the Rich
mond papers. What is done would not be easily
comprehended and, moreover, is not final as they
are sitting in Committee of the Whole. Instead
OF mere y passing upon the Code, az proposed BY
the Revisors and reported by the Select Com
mittee, the House has undertaken the task Of leg
lslatng de moro. Many radical changes, uncail-
ed for by public sentiment have been introduced.
Little respect-h has been paid to the abors Of the
Revisorsand Of the Committee. We do not see
any prospect OF a speedy adjournment, as the
House has opened an almost limitable field Of
business. There can be no doubt that the whole
proceeding has taken a different character from
what was intended when the codifcation of the
laws was first proposed. We expect nothing else
than that for couple Of years to come, the Lee
glsature will be employed in tlnkerng the work
of the present session.
