ry. without coming TO any final action.
the Assembly proceeded to consider the
order OF the day, which was the consiG-
GRAFTON of the report Of the Committee
on Seminaries.
A resolution favorable TO the report Of
the Commute as 10 the operations of The
Union Theological Seminary, was adopt
ed and the report approved.
A repor, of the same committee ap.
proving the operations OF the Theo.oyi.
cal Seminary at Allegheny City was
adopted.
SUNDAY next was fixed upon for the
election of Professors for Allegheny and
Princeton.
The rest of the session was devoted
to religious devotional exercises.
In contemplation of preparations for
the election determined upon for Sa.ur-
day, the Assembly adjourned.
In the old School General Assembly
this morning, the report Of the board of
publication was read, showing an en-
couraging condition of the finances.
Sales during the year amount TO nearly
$4,000.
A repor, adverse to the establishment.

Political Exiles.

Last Sunday, The Sandman sloop-of-
war, San Giovanni, anchored oil The
Battery, having on board about eighty
political exiles, sent hither by the Ssr-
dinian government. TO shield them from
the vengeance OF Austria. Yesterday
afternoon a number of them collected on
the Battery, when the sailors attached TO
the San Giovanni came ashore. and after
AN exchange of exasperating words. got
into smart fight. One of them threat.
ened to tear the epaulets from the shout
ders of an officer, and finally snatched
the cap from. the head of sailor, and
tore off the front part on which was the
name of the vessel. A severe tussle en-
sued and New York Italian, who
came to the aid of the "exi!es." was
knocked Into the sailors boat and taken
off to the San Giovanni. where he was
put IN irons, but was soon released.
We understand the commander of the
San Giovanni, Capt. lncisa, complains
that he has been subjected to serious an
noyance in various ways since his arrival
here, and that if he had not commenced
painting his vessel, he would no longer
remain in port. The hostility of the pas.
sengers probably grows out of the teel.
ing tina. they were badly fed while on
the ship; but this does not justify their
conduct, if it is correctly represented 10
us. CapI Incisa says the passengers
had the same fare as the crew--bread,
cheese, wine, potatoes, etc.
IL we rightly understand the case,
these men are deeply indebted TO the
Sandman government for sending them
to the United States. inasmuch as il
could not protec. them where they were,
without compromising itself with Aus
lria. But no sooner do they touch our
soil and receive their SIS each, gratu
i,y from the Sandman government, in
addition TO a free passage, than they e.
vince bitter malice towards their bene-
factors. Moreover, they insult the coun-
try which receives them, by expressing
that malice in acts in violation of our
laws. On Monday they were put on
shore; on Tsssday occurred this row.
They will learn, by and by, If they stay
here. that there is difference between
freedom and licensiousness.-CN. Y.
