A veryimportant decision has lately been given
in the ecclesiastical Court at London in the case
of Westeron vs.. Liddell. The London cores
pendent of the Philadelphia american says:
The Rev. Mr. Liddell is Puseyite, and has
adorned his altar with candlestcks, his church
with flowers, pictures, and large cross, and
has erected credence table, and uses hand
somey decorated and various colored cloths for
the altar, all ofwhich has offended the evange-
cal notions of Mr.. Westerton, the church warden,
who having, without effect, applied to the Bishop
Of London, appealed to the Consistory Court.
Here he has obtained a verdict. The decision
is to the effect that the crosses and candlesticks
are to be removed, the credence table to be
substituted by one movable and of wood, and
the various colored cloths to be changed for
one Of pure white. The decision has created
great sensation. An appeal against the deci
sion has been lodged in the proper quarter, but
il not reversed it will occasion large secession
from the Church of England.

BAYARD TAYLOR, in his "New Volume of
Travels" gives the following humorous descrip-
ton Of the cats Of Aleppo:
"The other remarkable thing here is the
hospital for cats. This was founded long ago
by rich cat-loving Musselman, and is one Of
the best endowed institutions in that city. An
old mosque is appropriated to that purpose,
under the charge of several directors, and
here sick cats are nursed, homeless cats find
shelter, and decripit cats gracefully purr away
their decling years. The whole category en-
braces several hundreds, and it is quite sight
to behold the corridors and terraces of the
mosque swarming with them. Here one with
bruised limbs is receiving cataplasm; there,
a cataleptic patient is tenderly cared for; and
SO on through the long concentration Of feline
diseases. Aleppo, moreover, rejoices in a
greater number Of cats than even Jerusalem
At rough guess / should thus state the popu-
lation Of the city: Turks and Arabs 10000;
Christians Of all denominations. $4,000; Jews,
10000; dogs, $4,000; cats, 5000"

A Baby E1eph ant.

The editor Of the New York Sunday Times
has seen the baby elephant that was born re-
Gently in that city, and gives a very pretty ac-
count OF the little creature:
These baby elephants are very interesting
objects. They are perfectly formed throughout,
and differ from their parents only in size; but
that difference is so amazing that it becomes
ludicrous and When you see the baby walking
to and fro under It's mother you cannot resist
the impulse to laugh at the oddity Of the com.
parison. And then the bulky mothers care of
Der baby is so human-like and afIectionate.
Give the baby an apple, for instance. The
mother FIRST takes IL in her trunk, examines Il
closely, and then returns il to her infant TO eat
having satisfied herself apparently, Of its in.
nocuouspess. And so with every thing else"

Painful scene In Court.

The New York correspondent of the Phila-
delphia Ledger notes the following scene:
'.The Court of General Sessions, on Saturday,
presented painful scene. An old man, with
silver locks, some 70 years of age, was brought
up to receive sentence, having been convicted
of perjury, in swearing to the possession of real
estate, which he did not own, in order to be-
come bail for woman who had been arrested
and bound over for some offense. The prisoner
was so overcome with emotion that he had to
be supported. Near by him stood his daughter,
a brighteyed, faxen-haired little girl of Z or s
years, crying and sobbing bitterly. He was a
German and could not speak word of Eng
lish.
When asked by the Recorder fine had any
thing to say before sentence was pronounced,
he replied, through an interpreter, i am inno-
cent The Recorder passed the lowest sentence
upon him allowed by the law-two years in the
State prison. On leaving the bar, the prisoner
was surrounded by his wife and four children,
and a scene ensued which might have moved a
heart of stone. kissing each of his children
aud bidding his wife adieu, he was re-conducted
to his cell. The court was crowded at the
time, and but few dry eyes were visible. The
Recorder, it is understood, will exert his influence
to induce the Governor to grant pardon. He
says there is reason to believe that the prisoner
labors under hallucinaton that he, in reality, is
the possessor of large property.

n,y- The Richmond (va) Enquirer says:

"The Massachusetts, Emigration Aid Society
is the sole author Of the deplorable civil broils
at Kansas Had that Terri DRY been settled
fairly and naturally, no difficulties would have
arisen. Massachusetts, with much in her char
acter to admire, has exhibited, from her first
settlement naughty, insolent, intoerant, and
dictatorial spirit, never equalled by any other
people. In her early history, we find this spirit
blended with religious enthusiasm and puri-
tanical though cruel morality. Her religious
prosecutors and her gross superstitions were
overbalanced and atoned for by the general
purity of life which she displayed Now, with
out having lost any Of her insolent intolerance,
she has added thereto gross in6delity and vul-
gar RIGHTEOUSNESS. She acts as badly now, in
encouraging fanaticism, as she did formerly in
hanging witches. She is the Marplot of the
Union, and yet she has, in public and in pri-
vate life, men who do honor to their age and
country, and who as patriotic and conser-
vative as any in the Union.

THAaDEMOcRACY DOES NOT NEED A
NEW CHRIsTENING.

The Opposition to the Democracy, who have
adopted more aliases 10 their original name of
FederdtiSt than there are moons in the calen-
dar year, are eternally offering new names for
the adoption of the Democratic party. They
have, on one occasion, called our party "Loco-
iocos; and again, when they fought in some
OF the States under the name and banner Of
" Anti-Masonry" the name Of sacks" was
assigned to the Democracy; and, still more re.
Gently, the new fedgling Of the old Federal
party, had applied TO the staunch old party OPP
posed to it, the designation OF "Foreigners."
Now, in their dilemma in the House of Repre-
sentatives, this same "many OPPOSE
tion," has thought fit to call the Democratic
phalanx opposed to it, the Administrations
party This trick Of the enemy is too stale
and too transparent humbug TO be played off
successfully. They cannot disturb the calm,
solid equanimity of the stern, inhexible Demo
cratic column in the House Of Representatives,
or any where else, by any new christening.
The Administration may belong to the De.
mocratic party, and for the good of the coun-
try it should always do So but the Democratic
party does not belong to any Administration.
1t stands upon its own platform of principles,
and viii not change those principles or its good
old name for any other principles or name.
The Democratic party in the House of Rep
resentatives, standing upon its time-honored
platform embraced in the resolutions adopted
at its first meeting by a unanimous vote, count
secentysir members. Upon that platform
they place the Democratic party, but say not
one word about the Administration, or an sd
minist,ation party" The opposition, COM
posed, of what are known as Abolitonists,
Freesoilers, and Know.noihings, numbering
one hundred and fifty, are, therefore, response
BILE to the country for the delay in organizing
the House OF Representatives. Every intelli-
gent citizen in the United States knows that
the contest is in reality between The Democratic
party and Democratic principles and those
elected i'll opposition 10 them. There is no
way to conceal this solemn truth.

GREcnS QUEEY.-A letter from Athens,

ton Of fatfooted queen:
] saw Queen Amelia taking an afternoon
ride on horseback, accompanied by one of her
maids Of honor, daughter Of Marco Bazzaris.
She seemed in excellent humor and am told
is constantly laughing from mere exuberance
Of spirits. She is very fat and large, and has
a foot like juvenile elephant, which, when il
strikes the sod, is death TO all creeping insects
Judging from her physique if ] had job of
housekeeping to be done, do not know any
one so capable of performing It efficiently as

convention OF Lost baSSaBc agents.
convention Of lost Baggage Agents from
various railroads, was in session in New York
for three days last week. The Tribune says:
These baggage agents, for the past three or
four years, have been in the habit of holding
semiannual convention, the principal object
being to compare memoranda, each agent
bringing list Of all unclaimed baggage and
freight in the hands Of his employers, and also
list of claims and applications for lost bag
gage, together with descriptions fthe property.
These conventions have been found of great
value, seldom failing to result in finding forty
or fifty pieces of valuable property. Packages
claimed to have been lost on the Central Rail
road, for instance, are found lying in Detroit,
and goods charged to the negligence of the
Erie Railroad, turn up in Chicago.
These conventions are productive of another
good result; each agent relates his experience
of the liabilities to loss and the benefits Of
certain systems of checking the various attempts
at fraud, and the manner in which they were
frustrated. By this means each agent is put
in possession of an amount of experience highly
useful to himself and valuable to his employers
The three days session resulted in finding AT
pieces of valuable freight and baggage. We
learn that the members of the convention not
only compare notes every six months, but that
during every week stream of letters flows
between them, with the most satisfactory results
to their employers and the public. The con-
vention adjourned to meet in Hamilton. Canada
West, on the I'D of June next.

John G. Riyes, of the Washington Globe ha
been advertising for editor, and having a
little quiet fun in his way with the Boston Post
about it and other matters. In the course Of
his discourse upon the subject he makes the
following allusion TO his old associate and
partner:
Our former partner, Mr.. Blair, used to assist
us; but he has gone-we will not say where
into other business, where probably, all his
spare time will be required to write for himself.
No matter where he has gone, nor where he
may CO. we shall, we are sure, always wish him
well. We were fully twenty years together in
business, and not an angry word ever passed
between us during that time-not even an
angry thought towards each other, we believe,
except when we both kept diaries he used to
intercept the butter wagons on our road, which
furnished us with butter, and buy it all up for
the use of his own family. We must confess
that we did think little hard of him for so do
ing, as we told him when we commenced the
farming and dairy business, six miles from him,
that our only object in settling so far from him
was, not to come in competition with him in
purchasing produce for home consumption"
