Rev. Mr.. Summerbell Of Cincinnati presided,

Abolitionists- Lucy Stone and Burleigh with

ASSASSINATION OF CHARLES III.-ParmG,
Italy, March 81, lS54.-The city is at this mo-
ment in the greatest excitement, in conse-
uuenee of the assassination of the Grand Duke
Charles III. He was stabbed in the bowels
Yesterday afternoon, about o'clock, by some
unknown hand, while walking unattended
through the spacious courtyard of the palace.
A piercing cry attracted the guards at the
doors, who instantly remov ed him to his cham
Der. but cannot learn that the assassin was
seen. The Grand Duke fingered in great dis
tress till half-past this morning. His wife,
a daughter of the late Duke de Berry, and, of
course, sister of the Duke de Bordeaux,
Henry w., the Bourbon pretender,) has as
sumed the regency until the majority of her
eldest son, lad of six years, who succeeds
his father.
Charles III. was born in 1928, and succeed
ed to the throne on the abdication of his ia
Their, (who is just now sojourring for pleasure
in Algiers,) in 1849, at the age of 26. He
was an accomplished young man, but too fond
of pleasure. He recently made a forced loan
from the people, as is generally said, without
Just reason, and this act of oppression, with
his proverbial extravaganza, greatly incensed
the country, and it is not improbable that
some one, smarting under his exactions, may
have perpetrated this act of vengeance.
His chief minister and friend, Baron Ward,
is the son of an English hostler, was himself
born in England, and actually served the
Dukes father as the chief equerry of his sta
bles He is, in truth, an exceedingly clever
Englishman, and deserves the promotion he
has won, with considerable fortune, though
decidedly illlterate.
The princes of Italy live in peril, of which
this event will make them more painfully

The CoNTRAsT.-We had the curiosity to
look into DR.. Springs church in New York,
on recent Sabbath, and found him preach
ing away to not over three hundred hearers.
His church is in the very heart ofthe city, and
there is no good reason why it should not be
well filed. We suppose that the people feel
very little confidence in the teachings OF man
who publicly announced ''that # by one
prayer he could abolish American Slavery, he
would not offer that prayer" and who fears
to pray God to overturn among the people,
lest by some mistake he should overturn slav-
cry.
We passed on, after looking into Henry
Ward Beecher's church, and large as it is, it
was filed in seat and aisle, every vacant place,
(more thousands than DIR. Spring had hun
dreds) so that there was an unbroken sea OF
heads. Very many of his hearers went over
the river from New York. There were among
them shareholders, who, like ourselves, had
passed by DR.. Spring. Even they choose to
hear live man.
The contrast was interesting and instructive.

of Religious Intelligence
misunderstanding to Mr.. Parking, who
for time resided in Abyssinia, there are some
portions of Africa that would satisfy the larg-
est desire of those having martyr spirit. A
colored priest of his acquaintance informed
him that there were cannibal tribes south of
the Darfous, by whom white meat, being
rarity, was much esteemed, as having fat
and delicate look:
" He said that brown man, Mahomme-
dan priest, who went there from his country,
in the hope of converting his people to Islam
ism, was-though protected from actual dan
ger by his sanctity-a very tempting object
among them so much so, that whenever he
went out, the little children came about him,
poking him with their fingers in the ribs,
feeling his arms and legs, and muttering to
one another, "Wa-wa, wa-wal" (meat,
meat,) with their mouths watering, and their
features expressing the greatest possible in
clination to taste him."

Ben Blowhard says we can form but imper-
feet conceptions of cockroaches here in Bos-
ton. According to the log kept by Old Ben,
when he was skipper of the down east schoon-
er, Glory Ann Marygold, these insects are
particularly numerous and rampant in the West
India islands. An extract from the said log
reads as follows:
"While the schooner was lying at anchor
this day, at Havana, all hands below at din
ner, light breeze blowing off shore, cable
grated through the hawse hole, and felt mo-
ton of vessel as if she was getting under way.
Sent the mate on deck to see what was the
matter. Mate reported that the anchor watch
was asleep and the cockroaches had manned
capstan, hove up anchor and hoisted mainsail,
that when he went on deck they were
swaying up the main peak and the schooner
had begun to pay off before the wind. Called
all hands to set things to right, and in the
meantime the cockroaches eat up our dinner"
