ROMAN CATHOLIC ARCHBISHOP OF BALTIMORE
The Baltimore Sun Of this morning says: 1t was
rumored yesterday in the city, and pretty gem
orally credited, that the Right Rev. Bishop
Francis Patrick Kenrick, of Philadelphia, has
been appointed by the Pope to the vacancy in
the Archbishoprick of Baltimore. The mos,
Rev. P. Cullum, Primate Of Ireland, it is said
is deputed by the Pope to bring over the pal
lium and superintend the ordination. On in
quiry, we ascertained that such was said to be
the case, but that it was not sufficiently anthem
ticated for an official announcement

Mr.. EDWIN FoRREsT.-Although this gentle.
man played Damon to perfection at New York
the other night, he made speech that plainly
proved him incompetent to conduct himself in
q proper manner. He should place himself
under the control of discreet friend, and then,
under that friends advice, pay close attention
to his profession, make all the money he can,
say nothing about his private griefs, and re-
strict himself to the companionship of honest
people. The bestowment of hundred dollars
every few weeks in charity would neither injure
his purse nor his heart, in the meantime; and
silence towards his enemies would be sure to
annihilate them or their enmity.
Poor Forrestl he is great actor, powerful
declaimer, and naturally good enough fellow |;
but he is, except strictly in the line of his pro-
fession, an untutored man, poorly instructed in
the elements of intellectual knowledge, and
almost entirely blank as respects moral or reli-
gious culture. This is his misfortune, but it is
one that obedience to the promptings Of good
heart win enable any man to overcome.

HomoIps.--william Wells, a marine, belong

William Wells, marine, belong
ing to the Washington Navy-yard, and said 20
DO from Baltimore, was last evening committed
to Jail by Justice Crandell, for further erami-
nation, charged with the murder OF Samuei
Mundell, aged thirteen or fourteen years, a son
of the orderly sergeant at the nayy-yard.
A coroner's inquest was this morning held on
the body of the boy, but We have not learned
its verdict.
The particulars of the case appear to be, that
Wells and another marine, and three lads, all
belonging to the barracks, went on cunning
excursion, beyond the Eastern Branch, yester-
day afternoon; that when on their return home,
having made halt at branch on Mr..
Atchinson's grounds, little distance beyond
the bridge, Wells wished to hurry home, previ-
GUS to the "retreat;" that words passed be-
tween him and young Mundell on this subject !;
that Mundell struck him; that he struck back;
that just then some one else struck him on the
shoulder and diverted his attention; that on
looking toward Mundell again he perceived he
was making towards him to strike him with his
gun; that he pulled the gun from the boy,
stepped back two PAGES, leveled it at him, and
fired, shooting him in the breast and killing
him instantly; that he then attempted to run
off, but was seized by the other marine and the
boys, and brought before Justice Crandell.

next Sabbath) at ST. Matthew's Roman Catholic
church in this city, its publication is doubtless
gratifying to large number of the highly re-
spectacle people of that congregation, and
therefore it should find place in a newspaper
designed for all; secondly, that if it is idola-
trous, Protestants will of course desire to see
this proof of Roman Catholic idolatry, and
therefore it should have publicity to meet their
wishes; thirdly, it Is from the pen Of our friend,
]. AUSTIN, ESQ.,, whose illusions we always
publish with pleasure; fourthly, it was writer
at the request of the beautiful vocalist whose
voice is to MARBLE its graceful refrain, and
therefore merited our respectful consideration

Christians have the least fear of the lights re-
fected by their adversaries.
