Akcnbsnor HuGHEsA CARDINAL At
LAsr.-A correspondent Of The Nerdk
.Airrtiser, writing from Rome, under
the date Of October 26th, announces
that.
Archbishop Hughes is to wear the
scarle, cap, after all. His Grace has
been made Il Cardinal at last, in spite OF
all opposition. The important fact was
made know II, ms am well assured 10
the /" congregation" on Friday the 10th
instant, so that the effect oi his late visit
to the Holy See has been under-estimn-
ted. The appointment ID said 10 have
been made, with wha. degree Of truth
do no, know, without the appreciation, if
not in face Of the express protest Of all
the Roman Catholic Bishops in the
United States, save one, and contrary 10
the opinion of Chief Justice Taney.-
However the fact may be, the statement
is curr,nt here, and is generally be-
licved.
Catholic South America will proba
bly, feel slighted by this compliment TO
the Protestant North. But possibly the
Archbishop may have Convinced His
Holiness and his advisers that the ap-
pointment is one OF tie ordained means
of bringing about The promised good
time coming" when he is TO write the
History of the Decline and Fall OF
Professionalism in the United States. -
Let DIR. Murray look to his laurels--or
rather to his resources p'
The announcement will be highly
gratifying 10 those many friends Of the
prclate who were disappointed in the
non.reception Of the honor during hls re-
cent visi, TO the Eternal City. May his
Eminence live thousand years!

IJ The first lecture before the Me-
chanics' Society was delivered by the
Rev. Il. Starr King, Of Boston, on
Thursday evening; his subject was
Socrates" II was an interesting and
useful lecture, md one which no doubt
pleased the audience. But the subject
was differently treated from what il
wou'd d have been, had MIR. King been
speak ing before purely literary audi
ence; then he would have dwelt OIL gen.
eraities, and enlarged upon the leading
traits Of the character o. Socrates
now he confined himself TO particulars,
and all the details OF the life of Socrates,
and the pcculiaritics which distinguish
name to late nge. This vas all very
proper because in a promiscuous audi
ence, but few can be expected to know
much about Socrates, other than that
such man has lived at some period Of
the world, and that he entertained and
expressed peculiar views.
The most Of MIR. Kings lecture wGs
occupied by giving an historical sketch
oiSocra,es,-consequenily OF he had but
little opportunity TO exhibit the power Of
his, the lecturers, mind occasionally
there were passages OF great beauty,
particularly at the commencement and
close Of the lecture. This lecture bears
no comparison, in poin, Of intellectual
strength and grasp Of thought, to that
which he delivered here three winters
ago, on "God revealed in History.
The lecture on Socrates however, il,
probably, more useful one, because il
gives to the mlss an admirably con-
densed history, in an amusing manner,
Of the life and teachings Of the great
Seer, which they would not otherwise
possess.
The lecture was at'entively listened to
by large audience, much larger than
usual, OH the first night OF he Course.

the work is issued reflects great credit upon the

The page is large, fair, white, and readable The
table of cases and index seem to be prepared with
much care and diligence The former strikes US as
executed on very useful plan, referring not only
TO the case and page of the volume, but containing
also short abstract of the subject of each case
The editors notes scattered through the volume,
referring to American decisions, and still more TO
the value Of the work. The publication is to be
continued in monthly parts or numbers, making
each year six large octave volumes for the remark
ably low price OF $40 per annum. We trust both
