Spirit Of the Morning Press

The Inteiiigencer presents extracts from
the Roman Catholic press of Ireland,
uniting in the declaration that Protestant
ism is making tremendous inroads in the
Roman Catholic church of Ireland, and
that Catholicity bids fair to be extinct in
the Emerald Isle in fifty years. The same
paper contains the conclusion of Benjamin
Hallowell'S last able agricultural address !;
the journal of British officer on an expe-
dition to the Chinese rebels; and well
considered obituary of Major Bliss, Z. S.
A., among many articles.
The Tnion endorses the explanation of
its position on the Pacific Railroad ques-
ton given by the Detroit Free Press
According to that paper, the Union favors
no specific plan of Government aid in the
construction of the road through State.
In this matter of the construction of the
road through State, the Unions editor
holds that it will be done there by the
State herself, or by individual enterprise
aided by the State, without the interior
ence of the General Government.
The same paper quotes from the Albany
Ereaine Journal a story about Mr.. b.
disco, which has probably been manutac-
turcd out of ''whole CLOTH" in which he
is made to have assumed the authority to
direct railroad train in the interior OF
New York some years ago, after he had
been ten or fifteen years in this country
The SIN discusses railroad catastro-
plies, and summons public opinion to the
work of forcing the corporators (rail-
road every where to take measures to
protect human life hereafter. Call on
Jnlcs everywhere, Messieurs Sun.
The Clipper again discusses the proprie'
ty of appointing foreign born citizens Of
the United States to exercise the functions
of American diplomatists, which the edi-
tor continues to condemn.

Observation-Disclosures have been re-
ceived from Porto Cabello, giving the par
ticulars of the destructive earthquake
which took place at Cumana on the 18th
of July. The first shock Of the Garth
quake was so violent, that although it
continued its vibrations only two minutes,
it destroyed in that short space of time,
every house but one in that principal part
of the city called Puente Arribs. Many
of the inhabitants of the portion which
contained the dwellings of the more opu-
lent, were buried in the ruins. The catas-
trophe seems to have put sudden end to
the war; for 600 soldiers in the barracks
were among the victims, together with
almost all the officers of the revolution.
The utmost CONSERVATION naturally pre-
vailed among the survivors, and it is said
that a rcspccta bic ecclesiastic was sent to
General j. F. MonagaS, who was prepar-
ing his troops to march against Cumana,
offering TO submit and asking for assist
ance for the sufferers. 1t is added that
these requests were aSsented to, and that
he Immediately sent one of his brothers
with supply of provisions and men,
The earthquake was felt in Barcelona,
and destroyed three large buildings, in
Guiding the barracks, just after 700 SOL
diers had left them. All along the coast
of Venezuela shocks were felt, but no
mischief was done. 1t is said that the
superstitions of the people led many of
thtm to look upon the earthquake as an
evidence of the Divine disapprobation of
the revolution.

The YELLOW FEVER IN CUBA.-The
New York Co"rier learns from gentle
man who arrived from Cuba in the steamer
Empire City, that the yellow fever is still
raging with dreadful fatality in different
parts of the Island. The chief victims
are the slaves lately imported from the
coast of Africa. On the south side of
the island, one large planter who had a
