The LATE GENERAL OF THE JEsu1Ts.-A Paris
correspondent Of the New York Times cites from
the Unipers, a religious paper in France, brief
notice of Roothaan, late General of the Order
Of Jesuits. He was born at Amsterdam, No
vember 23d, 1855. His father was surgeon.
His grandfather, curiously enough, protested
Calyinism. He entered the Order of Jesuits in
1904, and was elected General Superior in 1929.
Under his rule the Company Of Jesus constantly
extended its sway. During his able administers
ton Of twenty-four years, he created eight new
provinces two in Italy, two in France, one in
Astria, one in Belgium, one in Holland, and the
eighth in the State Of Maryland. He also in
stitued two vice-proyinces- one in Ireland and
the other in Missouri

SUBMARINE OPERATIONS 1T HE'LL GATr:.-M.
Maietert and Captain l,;asof have renewed
operations against tie famous Pot Rock, ut
He'll Gate, by direction of the Government and
under the superintendent of Breyet Major D.
Fraser. I. $. A.: and the results, SO far as
known, are as gratifying as before. 1t Will be
remembered that the first intention was to re-
,iuee Pot Rock to 20 feet from the surface (mean
low tide.) This has been accomplished, and
now the Government. approaching the impor-
lance Of rendering the Gate safe for the passage
Of ships of the navy, and with them all other
vessels. has determined to reduce it 70 ~ feet,
which Hereuean task will in all probability be
completed in a few days. Some idea of the
magnitude OF the undertaking may be had from
a knowledge Of the fact that when operations
we're renewed, May u, 1888, the area, of the
rock to be worked against was $500 square
feet, Since that date the area to be removed to
the depth required has been reduced onc-half,
which leaves $40 square feet yet to be demolished.
The most elevated point OF the rock at tile pre-
sent time is u feet. The change IN the eddy
and current since the commencement, is so great
that fourteen, seventeen and nineteen charges
can be exploded between tides one two and
three were all that could be fired upon the rock
during the early operations. The deJris which
lies around the rock caused considerable delay
as dragging it into the deep, or the shore, re-
q',ires great deal of time Nevertheless, under
the supervision of Major Fraser, ''the work goes
bravely on"
AS the rocks lessen explosions cause an in-
creased tremblingsof the earth for a long dis
lance inland. Standing many yards from the
shore at the time charge is fired, the shock is
severe, and it is reported that several rooms of
bnildinssin the neighborhood, have had their
ceilings shaken until portions have fallen. The
effect in the water borders upon the wonderful.
Just us the exploding charge forces up the i'm
mense column of water. numbers of fish leap from
the water to the, height of one and two feet, for
more than one hundred yards around, fall dead
and often torn in pieces. As soon as Pot Rock
is reduced NJ. AIaillefert will proceed to New
Haven Harbor, and commence similar operations
against Middle Rocky. 7. Courier.

EMIGRATION FOR LIBERIA.-At Savannah, on
the 18th inst, company of 1874 free colored
persons embarked in the bark Adeline for Libe-
ria. The Republican says:
Of these ninetysix are from Tennessee, four
from Roswell county in this State, three from
Augusta, three from Mledgeville, twenty seven
from Savannah, and one from Athens, Ala.
The company is composed mostly of young and
vigorous people, many Of them trained to agri-
culture, a number of them excellent mechanics,
and quite a large proportion exemplary mem
bers Of the Christian church. They leave many
warm friends behind them, who viii pray that
their voyage may be speedy and safe, and that
they may obtain in Liberia all the advantages
they can reasonably desire. They take with
them ample supplies derived in part from their
own industry and from the liberality of the Col
onization Society and its friends.

lowers, THE scULpToR.-Mr. Bryant, of the
N. Y. Evening Post, in letter from. Rome, Of
the 18th May, says;
On my way thither, stopping at Florence, I
visited the studio of our countryman, Powers.
He had several busts lately executed with his
usual skill in giving expression Of character aud
life, and was then occupied with figure in
tended as representative of our new State,
California. Ia hey left hand she holds diyin-
ing rod pointing downward to the mines in her
soil, and in hcs right she conccals behind her
back Il scourge, intended as an emblem of the
calamities which follow eager search for gold
Powers at present models his figures in a pecu-
liar manner. He builds them up with fragments
of dry plaster, cenlented by the same material
in a liquid state. When any part of the figure
requires to be made rounder or fuller he lays on
the plaster with flexible gutta-percha srowel
when it is to be reduced i'll size he applies kind
of file, or rasp, of which he is the inventor,
which never becomes clogged, and is pierced
with holes, through which the plaster shoots i'll

YANKEE NoTloss IN CEYLok-A correspondent
of the Boston Journal writing from the Island
Of Ceylon, on the 9th of April last, says:
Yankee notions are getting to be quite COM
mon in India and Ceylon American vessels
bring them to Madras and Colombo Ice, APP
Piles and American -four are brought to these
ports, and together with many other articles, as
solar lamps, Connecticut clocks, &c., are dis
posed of to good advantage Some of the clocks
sent to Madras have Tamil figures upon the
face for the convenience of the natives, and to
make them saleable among those who know
nothing Of English Recently half dozen of
the cheap 81 spring clocks, made at New Haven,
have been received by members of the American
mission. As these can be furnished at price
which brings them within the reach of ordinary
natives, whose wages are high at twelve cents a
day, they have excited much attention, and
many are the applications of those who wish a
clock to be ordered for them from America
Not less than onethird of the thirty three native
workmen employed in the American mission
printing and binding establishment at Manepy
have made this application Seventy-fve or a
hundred clocks would hardly be above the de-
mand. Thus are Yankee ingenuity and Con-
necticut machinery helping on finely the great
work of civilization and human renovation.

QUEEN VIcToRIA.-The London correspondent
of the New York Sunday Times thus describes
Queen Victoria, who has just celebrated her
thirty-fourth birth day:
She fully looks her age. The family tendency
to stoutness has recently Developed itself in
her, and she is getting yulgarly fat. The fact
is she takes little exercise, has mind not
easily troubled by trifes, and has great ap-
petite. Her food is Of the plainest, but she
eats heartily, and bottled stout is her 'favorite
vanity"

N9gn We have been particularly favored
during the present week with several refreshing
showers Of rain. The earth is not yet satu-
rated, and can well bear shower now and then;
but we are inclined to the opinion-should it
continue to fall for considerable time as it has
during the present week--that we shall have
more than enough.

ABOLITION BLAsPHEMY.-The horlid language
which follows is extracted from an account of
the proceedings Of the recent Abolition conven-
ton in Boston:
Mr.. Henry c. Wright commenced by saying
that he was an atheist to any thing which sane
toned slavery. l would put my heel upon any
government which sanctioned slavery. If God
sanctioned slavery l would put my heel upon
him. (Hisses and applause, 'sorder'' from the
chair, Kisses and laughter from the gallery
Yes, would refuse to obey such a God;
would put such God upon the auction block
and sell him like u beast. (Hisses.) Mr..
Wright proceeded to say that he was atheist
to any God that sanctioned slavery; he would
spend his money and his life to overthrow such
a God and such a government. The day is
past when we should look to attributes OF
titles. He had no respect for the name of God
in the mouth Of warrior, Shareholder or a
rum-seller.

GENERAL ALNoNTE.-The appointment of Al
monte as Envoy from Mexico to the U. States,
in the opinion of the Baltimore American, no
matter how warlike may be the language of the
sNopoleon of the West" towards our country,
it is his intention to s'speak daggers but use
none.''
The editor of the American goes on to say
that, an intimate knowledge of Almonte's char
acter satisfies him that he would be the last man
selected to make or embitter quarrel with our
nation. Almonte is not only distinguished by
his talents, culture, knowledge Of our language,
and public services, but his natural firmness is
tempered by genial manners and address which
eminently fit him for Cancellation. He has oft
expressed the opinion that the policy of our
countries should bee Perfect alliance and per-
feet peace" It is true that war occurred since
this noble sentiment was uttered, yet we have
no reason to believe that its value has diminish
ed in the judgment Of the distinguished man
who conveiyed it.
During his first mission to the United States,
in AZ '43, he made large number Of friends
not only among the politicians at Washington,
but in the private circles Of our principal cities
We are sure that he will be heartily welcomed
by all who were fortunate enough to know him
then, and that he will be regarded as bearing
the olive instead of the sword. Our political
controversy is yet a simple one, capable of easy
solution. If its discussion is commenced in a
spirit Of justice on both sides, we doubt not that
it may be settled at single conference. But if
war is the true object-the sooner the mask is
thrown off the better

as he may deem necessary for the discovery Of
