From the Me,o Tork Heeman's Journal
Dr. Ives i'm Rome.

We are at length enabled to put an end to
all anxiety on the part of some of our Protes-
tant ncighbors in reference to the Protestant
Bishop Of North Carolina. He abjured Pro-
tcstantism, and was received into the Catholic
Church at Christmas, in the city of Rome, by
Mgr. Talbot, formerly an Aglican minister; at
present private Chamberlain Of His Holiness
We learn this by letter from Rome dated
Dee 3Oth, in the UnircrS Of the 9th inst. The
sane letter informs Us that number of Protcs-
tant parsons arc laborinJ for the conversion Of
Mrs Ives in the only way they can, which is
hy abusing her husband. The following is an
extract from the letter in the t"jrcrS:
DIR Ives, after his arrival at Rome, made
the acquaintance of Rev. Dir. Mc(iiIl Bishop
Of Richmond, and lie subsequently applied to
NoasiJnor Talbot, private cdmcrorto to His
Holiness, in order to make his solemn ahiura-
ton aud so rnblirly profess the true faith
Tie Holy Father having been Informed by
Monsignor Talbot Of his happy disposition in
this regard immediately granted to the Prtlatc
above mentioned the faculties necessary for
receiving the ahiurai;ou land the Anglican
Bishop made, with sentiments Of the deepest
joy and Of the most tender Ticty, his profession
Of Catholic faith at the hands Of this former
Anglican minister who IS well Us he WAS a con.
vert to the true faith. The Holy Father chose
to administer in person, TO the distinguished
convert the Sacrament Of Confirmation and
this ceremony took place on the 26th Dcccnl-
Der in the private chapel Of His Holiness.

Splendid Engraving.

We have been politely furnished by the gentlemanly
Agent, Mr.. KEMPE with splendid Engraving called
the UNION, representing in one group % American
Statesmen, &C., prominent among which is the Hons
HENRY CLAY j. C. CALHOUN, WEBSTER, &c. The pic
turo is Miniature of the great men of our nation and
is well adapted for framing. There is Key accompa-
nyng it which explains readily the different reprcsen-
tations. We do not know precisely whether or not
this picture sntended to represent the great commit
tee the slavery agitation question: which produced
the notable Compromise We sec General SCOTT
among the number and are somewhat puzzled to know
how he came there such is the intention of the artist
to represent at glance the prominent statesmen Of
our Union. General SCOTT is accomplished soldier
but poor statesman. The two ought not to be con-
nected for their sphere of operations are as different
or ought to be, as any two opposite cangs in life
it is intended to represent the UNION generally then
the design is an admirable one. President FILLMORE
has place in the picture.

Good Regulation.

We clip from the South Carolnan the following par
graph, which strikes us as very capital regulation
which we would like to see adopted by our town au-
thorities, for suppose twill hardly be denied that
there is much room for Improvement in our town:
+ "We ind the following wholesome police regulation
has just been adopted in Wilmington, n. c. Our town
authorities would do good thing were they to follow
the example They should prevent such sports on the
Sabbath at least. We have seen negro boys playing
at marbles, on every Sabbath for the last two or three
months:
"tOrdered, That hereafter all negro boys found in
the streets Of this town pitching cents or quos play

kind of game, shall receive twenty lashes, or their

Advertising a Wife.

The Editor the Savannah Courier is right in what
he says upon this subject and so far as we are con-
cened, hereafter when such advertisements are oifer-
ed for publication, they will be rejected. "We had an
application yesterday from to advertise his wife,
and rewarn all persons from trusting her on his ac.
count lie alleged. that thesad wife, without cause
or provocation had deserted his bed and board and
fed to parts unknown.
''Wc stated to the applicant, what We now repeat to
the public that such advertisements cannot find place
in the Courier any price. Worthless wives are, in
f,c c,sc out o. 1cn, madc so by worthless husbands
We have known but few instances where the faults
and GoiLlcs Of tic wife were not directly or indirectly
traccabc to her partner The instances arc so few
to constitute only exceptions to the general rule.
~ man who would advertise a woman would strike
woman; and man who would strike o woman is
not worthy to be tolerated in civilized society. We
can never be made party to any such transaction,
and therefore give notice that the Courier is not the
medium through which such men can reach the pub.

Death of Alexander johnson. ESQ.

We regret to announce the death Of this gentleman,
which occurred Saturday last at his residence in
Trkwood Ills health for months had been feeble,
and he was obliged to keep his bed for three weeks
immediately preceding his death.
Mr.. JOHNSON was good man, and an excellent citi-
zen; in every relation of life in which he called to
act he did well his part For about sixteen years,
and up to his DEATH he held an important position as
an officer in the Bank of Camden dscharging his du-
ties with fidelity and courteousne:s to all who came
within the sphere of his vocation he was a worthy
member of the Presbyterian Church of this place, in
which faith he died with a calm resignation and will
lngness to leave this world with all its and
rows. After commencing his family to the care and
protection Of Heaven, he died in peace.

citation Of General Arista, and his departure,

yesterday the greatest, uncertainty, still
reigned throughout the city. The excitement

supposed that General Artista, would present

for ihis purposeNa long conference was held

to the conclusion that extraordinary power
could not be obtained, General Arista, resolved
to aLdcatc the Presidency.

a. WASHINGTON, Feb. l, 1853.
The Idcs of March will soon roll round, and
as yet, we are in the most blissful ignorance con
cerning the Cabinet.
The late terrible blow upon the President elect,
together with the continued illness of his wife
has tended to ween his thoughts "from the things
of this world,n and he no doubthas repeated the
mournful prayer of David, ooh my son, would
God, had died for thee" This is one great
reason why we are kept in such darkness, and in
such suspense about the Cabinet and so we must
remain at least to the end of the present month.
The excitement still continues about the prob
able appointment of Mr.. Dix, of N. Y, particu-
larly among the Southern men. Pennsylvania
has become milied, because Mr. Buchanan has
not been rendered an. appointment. Ohio is
"knocking at the door" and demanding a seat,
and Virginia has turned cold shoulder upon
her son, the talented Hunter, because he refuses
to accept. Mississippi and South Carolina have
both been rendered seats, but the last has beg
ged to be excused" and it is very uncertain that
the former will attend to the call or not. Ten

able reply to the Duchess of Southerland, the

"comc out from among the wickcd,', and clear
their skirts of the hcinous crime of American
black slavery. Mrs. Tyler has pourtraycd with
