DR.. IVES AT ROME.

We are at length enabled 10 nut an end In
all anxiety on the part of some OF our Protes-
tau, nelghhors IN reference to The Protestant
Bishop OF North Carolina. He ahiured Pro-
teslantism. and was received into the Catholic
Church at Christmas, in the city OF Rome, by
Mgr. Talbot, formerly an Anglican minister: al
present private Chamberlain of His Holiness.
We learn this by letter from Rome, dated
Dee. 30ih, IN the Unvers of the 9th inst. The
same letter informs us that number of Pro-
testant parsUns are lahoring for the conversion
of Mrs. Ives in the only wav thew can, which
Is by abusing her husband. The following is
an extract from the letter in the Univers:
"Dr. Ives, after his arrival ut Rome, made
the acquaintance OF Rt. Rev. DIR. McGill, Bish-
oP OF Richmond. and he subsequently applied
| TO honslgnor Talbot, private cGmerGrio TO
His Holiness, in order to make his solemn alb
Jura'ion and TO publicly profess the true faith.
The Holy Father having been informed by
Monsignor Talbot of his happy disposition in
| this regard, immediately granted to the Preate
above mentioned, all the faculties nee essary
for receiving the abjuration and the Ans lcan
| Bishop made, with sentiments of the deepest
JOY and the most tender pIety, his profession
OF Catholic faith al the hands of this former
Anglican minister, who, as we'll as he, was u
convert TO lhe true faith. The Holy Father
chose 10 administer in person, to the distin-
gHshed convert, the Sacrament of Confirma.

26th of December, in the private chapel Of His
Holiness.

has renounced very desirable position in n
secular point OF view, aud has been compelled
TO struggle with family affections and ties of
the most intimate character. DIR. Ives is mar.

example. She has even all along warmly on.
posed his design, but it is said that she already
has begun 10 defend her husband against the
attacks Of certain Protestant ministers who
had accompanied ex-Bishop of North Carolina
To Rome. Let US offer up our prayer that Dis
vine Grace may complete its work, and that
two hearts, so closely united by nature, ma v
be still stronger bound in the profession of the
same Catholic faith.
"Tl e RI. Rev. Bishop of Richmond has had
the happiness 10 gain another soul TO the
Church. He has received the abjuraiion of an
American lady whom he had himself pre-

EXPULSION OF THE JEsUITs FROM ECUADOR.
The Panama Star of the Sth inst, gives the
subjoined particulars relative to the expulsion
Of thirty-two Jesuits from Ecuador, by the
Government.
1--WE are told that they were consigned to
the Governor Of Panama, with the request
that he would put them through the Is sthmus
and out Of the country with all commendable lie
care and speed. On their arrival at Panama,
saws common runor, they we're informed
officially that they could not land, but would
be subjected to police surveillance during their
stay here, which was limited to day. They
returned answer thai they had no resistance
to make TO the law, but il the Governor wish
ed them TO land as prisoners, he would have
to send of and tie them, or put them under
guard. The latter was done, and they were
landed at the Northern gate, under IA guard of
soldiers and police, who then conducted them
10 the Cabildo or City Hall, where then ap.
pearance created some excitement among
some of our population. At later hour in
the day, say about two in the afternoon, under
charge of one or two police officers, they were
conducted to the College, where they receiv-
ed such attention from the authorities as il was
possible under the circumstances TO extend to
them. Yesterday morning the whole body
started for Cruces, under one official guide,
but we saw no military or police force ac-
