Another Miracle Reported from the Roman
States.
The following extraordinary narrative is pub
hshed in the Malta Oidine OF May 26:
We are informed that at Cvita Vecchia an extra
ordinary and interesting event has taken place in
the Church Of the Minor Conventualists. Our in

most worthy Of credit, writes that he was an eye
| witness of the fact.
On the 10th April 1854, at about four in the after
noon, several children being assembled by the
parish priest for their first communion, five of them,
after having made the holy confession. repaired to
thanks. On the right side Of the statue Of the saint
was suspended a painting on canvas, about
three palms in height, representing the figure
of the most holy, Virgin, with the. eyes
| OF prayer. Two Of the children placed themscivc.
before it to pray, and while their eyes were fixed
upon the holy figure, they exclaimed in alarm: 1.-The
Madonna is looking at u.s. and moves her eyes"
The other three ran mp, and, wonderful to state be-
eved the same. So lively were their sensations and
internal connections, that one Of them Frustrated
and trembling to inform the parish priest, the 9TH

the chapel fastened to the spot at the cry OF the

ately the chapel was filled with people, the picture
was removed from the wall, and placed on the a..

cieiated, and the holy Virgin repeated the prodigy,
and moved her divine eyes; although not all pre-
sent had the consolation to observe the movement.
| This was the commencement Of the affecting pro-
Dizzy. The most holy mother has continued to move
her eyes, sometimes towards one, sometimes towards
another, and sometimes towards many together, and
still continues to do so up to the present day Sth

by an immense number of persons of every class and

| The Probable DuratIon OF the War In Europe.
| IRON the London Times, June 81
| In estimating the probable issue Of tue pending
contest between Russia and the Allies, the weakness
| as well as the strength Of the belgerent parties
must be taken into consideration. In war all power
is relative. The resources at the command Of Eng
land and France are enormous, and indeed, practi-

indefinitely aprotracted; but, If any point can be

expected to fail, the hour Of victory and Of peace
may come within the scope Of calculation. Omit

results of the campaign just opened, we can present
some contrast of the Of the beligerents in
