The current Of news, the past week has
been pretty smooth as well as copious the for.
egn Steamer, which arrived yesterday bring
ing us no intelligence of startling character,
though the news is generally interesting
Kossulh has been making more speeches r
England, and their effect here is decidedly
in his favor, though there is certainly an un
derone of hostility in some points OF this
meridian against his tide of prosperity.
In this opposition TO Kossuih, the Free.
mans Journal takes a bold lead and in the
forum, Bishop Hughes, who has Just been
made Cardinal 10y the Pope, is bitter in his
denunciation Of the Hungarian Patriot. We
do not pretend to give a reason for this and

the celebrated Z. r. Barnum is president
(" Barnum's Bank" as they call i;) aud have
Q capital likeness of Mr.. b. upon one side of
them and an equally excellent likeness OF
Jenny Lind on the other, while "A sweet pie
ture Of " lrauisian," Barnums Turkish villa
fills up the centre.
This world is full Of curiosity, and you may
imagine so when we tell you that so many
people get hold Of these notes merely to obtain
l}aInum's autograph, that few of them can
he kept in circulation and what is worse,
some actually cut the portraits Off, on ac-
count Of their rare perfection though, the
bank, we hear, refuses 10 redeem the notes
shorn of their fair proportions. and hence
this practice Garnet long continue.
The Temperance lecturer, Mr. Soyd, n
" Friend" is doing promising business.
We have never had Temperance lecturer
of that denomination and the novelty. Us
