BOSTON NUNNERY COMMITTEE.

The Boston Courier, referring 10 the proceedings
of the Massachusetts Legislature, relative TO the
scandalous conduct of their know-nolhing Commit
Tee On Nunneries, says:
Yesterday was an exciting day in the House Of
Representatives. Members gho had been I'D late
the night misunderstanding to taior's news-came
in, in crops with eye balls bleared. "Well, it's
getting worse and worse said one to his neghbor.
" It's indeed, responded the other. BAT where
Is Josaph?" was the next inquiry; and "Who is
Mrs. Patterson" asked fourth individual The
answers TO these queries were not very distinct but
il was clear on oil sides that the new developments
were embarrassing. State preachers of temper
aDce were found drinking costly wines at the pub
lie expense, and sticklers for morality in converts
and morning reading Of the Bible, were discov.
cred in-an awkward predcauent Never was
such iDdecency and disgrace before entailed upon
the popular branch OF the Legislature by any one
man or set Of men. The indivduals vino denoun.
ced Mr. Huntingdon of Northampton, fortnight
ago-the parliamentary quack leading the van
were obliged yesterday to submit in SILENCE, and no
doubt in sadness, to pTopOsiLieEfs- another spe-
cia committee Of inquiry, 's6,taamlne into the
conduct Of Mr. Joseph Hiss, member of the House
from the city Of Boston, with authority to send for
persons ard papers.
Such dsgraceful acts as this inquiry has brought
to light, a-einezPressbly Notifying 10 a who have
any respect for common decency. They are, how
ever inst such as we have feared would result from
q political organization composed Of such ianstical
elements.

Correspondent Of The BaItiasfre Spn.l


The instructions, whatever they are that hare
been given TO Com. McCauleY met with the ap-
proyai, Il is said, OF the whole Cabinet. We may
therefore readily believe them to be iudcious and
rs well calculated 10 prevent future sggresious on
the part of the Cuban authorities, as to resent
them The most reasonable version of the instruc.
tinns is thst Com. McCauley is to convey TO the
CaptainGeneral protest against the visit, deten-
ton or search cf orr vessels on tie ocean, and be-
yon1 the jurisdiction of Cube, on any pretencs
whatever.
He will notify the Governor that, if their acts,
thus deemed aggressive by the United States, be
repeated, our vessels shall &c protected from them
If the protest and notice be unheeded, the Commo-
dc-e will noon the first recurrence of the agrees
sion, capture or sink the aggressing vessel Of war
Oar merchantmen will be advised not TO notice the
hail of every ship Of war, bus to proceed on their
course, and, if the Spanish vessel of shall re
sort to force, Commodore McCauleY will forthwith
engage the Spanish, as an enemy. II these be the
instructions, they are somewhat more moderate
than has been reported.
Force, on our part, is to be used only in regard
TO future cases and not for the purpose Of resent
ing acts That have been committed. Ii will be OBJ
served however, that the INSTRUCTIONS though they
reqnire notice TO the Cuban authorities as pre-
lirninary to an etack on Spanish vessels Of war,
90 rot contemplate any appeal, as heretofore mace
to the government OF Spain. The issue IS 70 be
made with the authorities Of Cuba.
It has been suggested that General Concha may
have exceeded his powers and instructions. in d.
rectinG the Spanish cruisers to overhaul American
vessels without the limits OF the jurisdiction Of Cuba
In his soiCitude for the protection Of tee Island
from American fIbusters, he has given canse for
complaint on the part OF Americans who were pur-
suing their ordinary commerce. It may be that
the home government, upon being informed of the
character OF these complaints, viii be prompt TO
disown the acts of Gen. Concaa, and to prevent
their repetition.
But Il would seem tjlat the question IS to be
made with the Governor OF the Island, without re-
sort TO the Home Government-thus illustrating
the necessity of the establishment in Cuba of some
tribunals for the prompt adjustment of such diff
cuties as may occur between ctizaDs and the Gu
ban authorities.
It hes heretofore happened, as at present. that
upon the occurrence OF 8 serious difficulty with
Cuba, and while the island is itself 10 very dis
turbed and critical condition, we have 70 consul
there. At sGch time this and a. al times, our
government ought 10 be well represented in Cuba
by some citizens OF high political and social stand
ing and great experience and discretion. Ion.

ing world stood still in mute amszement and ad-

unQues;ioned victory. But it was proper that

spyiDg OF 1854 two racers appeared, sons eff that
great horse, Old Boston, who were destined to pluck

in speed anything before heard of. These were
Lexington and Leoomte At their first meeting,
Lexington bore of the PLAN, but under such cir
curnstances as to embolden the owner ofLecomte
to try it again. Accordingly they met year ago
on the Metairie Course, and Lecompte was the VIC
tor, in the almost fabulous time OF 7:26 Hen,y's
and Fashions stars psled before bis rising sun
This was too much for Lexington's pluck, and ac-
cordingly his owner offered wager of twenty
thousand dollars, that he coud esual Lecomte's
time. The bet was taken and the race came of
three weeks ago on the Metsirie Course Licking.

With forture thus coQuetting between the rivals,
there was but one thing to &c done. They must
meet again; the thing must be settled What
intense excitement rung through the sporting gem

Lecomte were to meet again. And they did meet

heat IN 235, after which Lecomte Withdrew. As

But if Lexington leads the list OF four-milers.
Brown Dick, the hero of the Washington turf this
year, is equally pre- eminent as Q three mile horse.
At our recent races he ran two successive
heats of three miles in 543 and 552 the best ever
yet done here; and recently on the Metaire Course
he made three miles 10 5:2S4, which is not only
the greatest time Oh record but is three seconds
