The Persecution of the Madiais by the

Catholics.
AS you published a few days ago communica-
ton from Bishop Hughes in regard TO this affair,
and the meeting in New York of Protestnnts AMI
other friends6f religious freedom, request that
you will publish the following account of the meet
ing from paper called the Bible Society Record.
1t is proper to say word or two in regard to the
Bishops communication, and which is Character
ised as dispasSionate. With what propriety this
letter can be called dispassionate, cannot per
ceve, for it applied to the proceedings of this
meeting more than once, the offensive epithct
"EaLsehood"-in truth il has no one of the charac-
teristics Of dlspassionate, except GOODNESS, and
GOODNESS is virtue which always accompany the
efforts of malice. l have no desire do injustice
to the Catholics, the Bishop, To- do say, any
thing tending to produce ill-wil between Catho-
lies and Protestants; but l do think every good
man ought to set his face against every thing cal
culated to favor religious persecution to txten
uate the conduct of prosecutors This letter Of
Bishop Hughes is unworthy of him aud of the oc
casion. The real question presented by this Ma
dial affair is-arc they prosecuted for their religion
This the Bishop in no way denies, but merely
Gwells upon matters more verbal and immaterial
than real VERITAS.

The advent of the dahcing season
gladdens the hearts Of many of our

already been given, and numerous are
the invitations already out. The new
dance, the Esmeratda, is becoming
popular, owing, | suppose, to the fact
that as few understand it, it is consid-
cred select; cannot say admire it.
1t aims at being extremely graceful,

more concisely than by saying that it
appears to be cross between a High

itely refined as to interdict the Circus
in its "bull Of holy censure." But
there is an effort everywhere to do so.
and nowhere is it more visible in the
country, than in this most exemplary
place for pure morality and virtue
The taxes imposed upon all kinds Of
exhibitions, in this great city, are such
as to amount almost to prohibition
And clamerous as we always have been
we are disposed to be still more
clamerous in future, on this subject
The argument against all exhibitions
is, that money is taken away. Grant
that money is taken away, is not some
thing more substantial left behind, in
the shape ofjoy and gladness to the
Juveniles, and pleasure, to the adults !!
Is not the new life, that soul stirring

much in unitarian point of view, as
the dimes that it costs? Indeed it is.
We have no patience to argue with
that class Of citizens, who deny the

mental food Of poetry, music and fine
arts, the legitimate drama, and the

We want in this city,a large hall

ANNEXATION OF THE SANDWICH

ANNEXATION OF THE SANDWICH
[sLANDs.-The Washington cores
pendent of the N. Y. Journal of Com
merce says:
The news concerning the annexa-
ton of the Sandwich Islands is some
what startling, though it is a matter
long talked of. There can scarcely
be a doubt that the Hawaiian govern
ment has taken some preliminary steps
towards this object, and England and
France may protest against it in vain
The Callfornians are exceedingly de-
slrous for the consumation of this pro-
ject. DR.. Gwin. one of the Senators
from California, has taken great inter-
est in this matter, and during the lat
ter part of the last administration. he
urged upon this government some im-
mediate action upon it; and he as
serted that the Hawaiian government
was not only then prepared for the
measure, but that project of treaty
for the purpose had been forwarded to
this government, and was then in the
State Department.
The American missionaries who
have from time to time visited the
Sandwich Islands are friendly 20 the
project of annexation, and have no
doubt done much to promote it. Our
missionaries, it must be remarked, laid
the foundation for the recognition of
the Sandwich Islands by the United
States, France, England and Belgi-
um and the establishment of diplomat
ic and commercial relations Herewith.

Of the earth's electricity. The oceans,
