VAsTNEss OF ST.. PETERS CHURCH.-Mr.
Weed, of the Albany Evening Journal, in
writing from Rome, says that it is difficult
to convey any idea of the magnitude of the
Colisium. Though enough of its crumblng
materials have been carried away to erect
numerous mansions and palaces, enough re-
main to build considerable town with.
Mr.. w. adds: ......
OF the magnitude of st. Peters it is still
more difficult to convey or suggest an idea,
for its proportions are so perfect-the parts
all harmonize so beautiluly-that as whole
it loses its appearance of greatness. 1t is
only by viewing it in detail that you can
comprehend or realize its vastncss. st.
Peters and the Vatican are said to cover as
much ground as Turin, city of 100000 in
habitants. This is probably an exag 5era-.
ton, but it is certain that walk around
them would ensure anyone sharp appetite
for breakfast. The dome of St. Peters does
not look much larger than that on our City
Hail. and yet the City Hall might stand in
that dome, The magnificent Granite and
Marble columns in and about st. Peters il
placed at the distances which magnetic tele'
graph posts occupy,would extend from Alba
ny to Troy. There is stone enough in st
Peters to build up both sides of State street
from the Exchange to the Park, with the
Exchange and Capitol included. .

America looking up over the West.

The following extract from an editorial OF thS
Liverpool Times, shows that the position OF our
country is becoming appreciated, and Its great
ness more clearly admitted from year to year
s.Civilzation, as we have often said, has hIth-
erty been geographical. The merchant followed
trade, and where the merchant opened his
counting house, religion and science and morals
set up their affairs.
The United States of America now occupy
that place the globe which presents CONNER
cial advantages unknown to all ancient and
contem porary nations.
The territories of the transatlantic republic
expand into worlds; and she reposes between
the two oceans, one washing Asia, the other
Europe. Her fields TEEN with plenty; her
mines are inexhaustible, while her rivers obyiate
canals, and tempt trade and manufactures into
activity thousands of miles from the Atlantic
and Pacific. Nothing wanted to the local
enforcement of civilization but aptitude in the
inhabitants, and the history of the past week
gives ample testimony to its abundant existence.
In practical science we admitted no rivalry
for more than century: in trade, we despised
competition; and since the naughty Hollander
swept the Thames, we claimed indisputaby the
sovereignty of the seas. For some time, how
ever, the Yankees have been quietly encroach-
ing on our maratime priyilege-not pushing US
from the element whereon our pride flung out
the cross of st. George, but gradually creeping
into an incidental equality.
They did this not through accident of favor,
but by the rigid application of great principles
of commerce and science. They have compared
with ourselves, being equally enterprising-
They have been more skilful; and while we pay
willing homage TO genius, in whomsoever mani
Tested, ii is a modification that in our own
waters American yacht won the prize of all
nations, and that an American steamer accom-
plished the quickest passage ever made across
the Atlantic.
The Yankees are no longer to be ridiculed,
much less despised. The new world is bursting
into greatness-walking past the old world, as
the America did the yachts at Cowes, 'hand
over hand" She dipped the Star -Spangled
Banner to the royalty of Great Britain, for su
periority is ever courteous, and this grateful
act indicates the direction to which our inevita-
bic competition should proceed. America, in
her own phrase, is ''going ahead" and will as
suredly pass US unless We accelerate our speed.

Jefferson and Madison.

We quote the following passages from letter
from Judge Story TO Judge Fay, containing per-
sonal sketches Of Jefferson and Madison =
Jefferson is tall and thin, Of sallow complex
ion, with fine, intelligent eye. DIR. NJ. yester-
day introduced me, and spent half an hour
with him, in which time he conversed in a very
easy, correct, and pleasant style. His language
is peculiarly appropriate, and his manner very
unaffected. The negligence Of his dress little
surprised me He received US in his slippers,
and wore oid-fashioned clothes, which were not
in the incest order, or Of the most elsgant kind:
a blue coat. white worked cashmere waistcoat
and corduroy breeches, Il beg your pardon, l
mean small clothes constituted his dress. You
know Virginians have some pride in appearing
In simple habniments, and are willing to rest
their claim to attention upon their force of mind
and suavity of manners. The President is a
little awkward IN his first address, but you are
immediately at ease in his presence. His man
ners are inviting and not uncourtly, and his
voice flexible and distinct. He bears the marks
Of intense thought and perseverance ia his
countenance. His smile is very engaging and
impresses you with cheerful frankness.
On the whole l confess he appears to me q
clear and intelligent man, ready and discrimina-
ting, but more formed by philosophical reflection
than by rapid enterprising, overbearing genius.
If he chooses, he cannot fail to please. If he
cannot awe he Will not sink into neglect. The
current of his thoughts is gentle and uniform,
unbroken by the torrent of eloquence, and
unruff1ed by the ferver of vivid internal flame
Take this passing sketch and color it to your
own fancy.
Madison is most agreeable, modest, and
unaffected man, of short stature, and of mild
countenance He coGverses with ease, and seems
very well versed in diplomacy The character
of his mind seems to be formed by that Of JEFF
ferson, and the pupil is not an unfinished like
ness of the master. He has the reputation of a
well-read scholar, and without doubt would al
ways sustain considerable rank in the counsels
of a free government.

Cold Weather.

The weather still continues intensely cold,
and the winter so far has been more severe than
for many years past Monday night last was
such an one as is described in old-fashioned
winters, and on Tuesday morning the thermom-
ster in this place stood only u degrees below
zero. At the Summit, nine miles east of us,
we understand it was two degrees colder,-23
degrees below zero. Yesterday it was not quite
90 cold, but our oldest inhabitants say We have
not had such weather upon the Allegheny noun
tain for the last thirty years.
The ground is still covered with snow, and
the sleighing good. The high winds for the last
few days have however drifted up many of the
cross roads, but notwithstanding this and the
Intense cold we observe that much lumber and
produce is being brought to market

Message ofGov. Boutweu.

The annual message Of Gov Boutwell, was
delivered to the Legislature Of Massachusetts,
on the 10th instant. In regard to Hungary he
takes strong grounds. and is not only for vel
coming Kossuth to Massachusetts, as distin-
guished exile. but adds that the common sent-
ment Of the American people is on the side of
constitutional government But that this senti-
nent will not be satisfied with an individual
unofficial expression, but will also demand thro'
the diplomatic agents OF the country, q distinct
declaration on the part OF Russia and Austria
as to their future purposes If these govern
ments shall assert the right of interference in
the domestic affairs of European nations, or
shall decline to make distinct declaration
upon this point, it would seem proper for the
government to give them notice that we assert
on our part, equal right TO interfere in favor
of Republicanism or constitutional governments
reserying to ourselves the power to judge of the
necessity of interference as events transpire
We cannot quietly submit to the absorption of
the smaller States by the larger, and the final
subsection of all to two three allied despo-
tisms. Such movement viii not only be fatal
to our commerce, but to our general industry,
and the free principles of America.

Fools to the END.

The Al5any Kntcker6ocker, whose predictions
and efforts have generally been on the whig side
OF the house, thus pertinently discourseth. The
Administration papers We perceive, 90 it strong
for "non-intervention, doctrine that the
United States should have thrown overheard
twenty years since. The leader in this game,
is that inestimable old fossil, the editor of the
National Irtelligencer-an Englshman by birth,
and an Aristocrat by education The course
which he marks out, is certainly followed by all
the 80 ffers" of old federalism in the country,
among which are the Albany State Register,
Bosto" Courier, and ". 7. Courier and Enquirer.
The latter paper is particularly malignant, and
is fast preaching a doctrine that will convert
every iberal-minded European who arrives in
this country, into Democrat. There is a IA
talty about the Wing party. Nothing else can
account for its leading organs going wrong.
Every leader published in the Enquirer, against
kossuth, is just one thousand fresh votes added
to the Locofoco power of this State When

KOsStltIa I'm Harrisburg.

a committee Of the Senate, q committee of the
House of Representatives, and a committee of
citizens of Harrisburg repaired to Baltimore on
Tuesday the 18th inst, for the purpose of es-
corting Gov. Kossath and suite to Harrisburg.
They arrived at that place On Wednesday follow
ing, and were escorted in procession to the Capi-
toll where the Legislature were in joint session
in the Hall of the House of Representatives to
receive him. Upon entering the Hall and pro-
ceeding to the front of the Speakers Chair, Mr..
Bonham, Chairman Of the House Committee,
introduced Gov. Kossuth.
Governor Kossuth then took a position on the
Speakers platform, and was seated for few
minutes, when Gov. Johnston addressed him,
and welcomed him to the Capitol of the State,
to which Kossuth made an eloquent reply. An
immense crowd witnessed these proceedings, and
this was only dispersed by the adjournment of
the Legislature.
On Thursday numerous delegations waited
upon Gov. Kossuth and presented him addresses,
to all Of which he made suitable replies. A
large number Of the ladies assembled and pre-
sented beautifully executed purse, containing
their contributions, and an address their be-
half was delivered by the Rev. DIR. De Witt.
On Friday a dinner was given to him by the
members of the Legislature. at which about 800
persons participated. Gov. Johnston presided
and in responding to complimentary toast
made allusion to the mission of Kossuth, and
in conclusion gave tbs following toast
Hungary--Betrayed but not subdued Her
tonstlt4tlon violated-her people in chains and
her chief IN exile. The star of freedom will yet
shine through the dark night of her adversity.'
Gov. Kossuth responded, and gave as senti-
ment-
"Pennsylvania-The Keystone of the Union
may 1t, by legitimate influence upon the desti-
nies Of this mighty power earth, and by the
substantial generosity of it's citizens, soon be-
come the Keystone of European independence" !"
The greatest enthusiasm prevailed throughout
the entire proceedings. The sentiments in favor
of practical sympathy and aid, and national in
terlerence to secure fair play, especially were
approved. The speech of Kossuth was followed
Nth sixteen deat.ning cheers.
Hon. John II. Walker, Speaker of the Senate,
and several other speakers followed, all decided
ly sympathizing with the Hungarian cause, and
advocating Intervention for non-intervention.
kossuth left Harrisburg on Saturday morning
for Pittsburg, and reached the Junction House,
near Hollidaysburg, where he remained over
Sunday.

Governor kOssuth.

This distinguished person, his wife, and suite,
accompanied by Judge Gillis, of Elk, and B. A
Shaffer, of Lancaster, committee from the
Legislature, reached our town Tuesday last
about two o'clock, 2. NJ, and remained over
night. The party consisted of about twenty in
dividuals, and were an exceedingly fine looking
Aad intelligent body of men. During their stay
in town they remained at Thompson's Hotel
where the citizens met anxious to see and pay
their respects to the distinguished Hungarian.
Immediately upon his arrival being known, a
number Of the citizens met and appointed COM
mittee to wait upon him and tender him pub
lie reception, but he was SO completely fatigued
and had suffered so much from the cold in lravel-
ling up the mountain that he was reluctantly
compelled TO decline it. The party travelled in
sleighs, and left US yesterday morning amidst
the cheers of the people for Blairsville, where
they-would be met by committee of reception
from Pittsburg, and proceed to that city, where
a grand military and civic procession will greet
hi, arrival.

The Arnold Family.

Norwich paper says: The last remaining
relative of Benedict Arnold (who honored Nor
wich by being born here) was carried to the
poor house three or four days ago by one of our
select men. She was cousin to the traitor, and
remembers him well, and spoke with seeming
resentment and indignation of his having been
''driyen out of the country" She is ninety-two
years old, and when taken from the miserable
howell where she and a sister of hers who died
three OF four years ago, had lived summed
solitary, and in abject poverty for many years,
the poor old creature sitting without fire
to warm herself by, although the day was one
of the coldest of the season. We have never
been able to learn that there was any reason
except in the leprosy which olung to the traitor
whom it was there misfortune to be allied to,
why this woman AMI her sister, neither of whom
was ever married, should have gone through life
excluded from social life and intercourse bv the
inexorable ban of society. Yet such is the fact,
and it furnishes striking commentary upon the
depth and strength of that feeling of loathing
and execrltion with which the name of Benedict
Arnold is linked, now and forever, in the popu-
lar mind aa H3#. -. -e.s q

and the Irish Exiies

Gov. Johnston, of Pennsylvania in transmit
ting to President Fillmore the proceedings OF the
meeting lately held in Philadelphia, in behalf of
the Irish exiles, says -
The application for pardon is simply that
appeal to Executive clemency, which every hu-
man being has right to make, and to which
generous and self-relying power will always
kindly listen.
Sc The right to meddle with the judicial or ex-
ecutlVe power OF distant government is not
pretended but the right to appeal to the mercy
OF any government In behalf Of the unfortunate
and oppressed, is confidently asserted. The pro-
ceedinSs Of the meeting, however, speak its SEN
tments and feelings in more forcible manner
than can do, and to them respectfully invite
attention"

Festival, on Friday evening, December 19, was
made In 1892 1t originally belonged to Sultan
Mahomoud, was once owned by Napoleon, and
finally passed into possession of the family of
Count Pulzsky. The blade which is of formida-

the date of its manufacture, and is covered with
Arabic inscriptions. The mountings are of mas
