UvpEn pRorEsr "A great many

UrpER PRorEsr A great many
things IRE permitted to be done lately,
under Protest, " so that it becomes
necessary that we should understand
what is meant by the term. It was
only the ether day, that Spanish
cruiser off the coast Of Last Island,
overhauled the Sarah Jane, a vessel
bound up to Franklin and examined
her papers. The Banner says the
Captain Of the Sarah entered "pro-
test y which is equivalent in this in
stance (perhaps) to his washing his
hands of the matter. The Water
Witch was fred into the other day by
the paraguayan Government, but
Lieut.. Jefffies, entered a "Sulemn
Protest.
The last thing in way Of Protest, is
from Miss Lucy Stone the Strong
minded woman, and her weaker half.
Miss Lucy (who has been taking her
time y concluded a few days ago, to
get married, and out of her large cir
Gle Of acquain1anoes she selected f.
male man, by name 7" BLACKWELL"
the Rev. Mr. T. W. Higginson per-
formed the ceremony, after which
Miss Lucy and her husband made
"solemn protest." on Ave separate
counts. One Of them is, to the effect
that II Is unjust spd oppressive, that
woman should bear oil the burdens Of
The fami|y-that it is the duty of
the husband to stay at home, and
nurse the children. whilst the wife is
permitted to 60 abroad and provide a
living for the same.
Miss Lucy is done for now ; we
never more expect to enjoy the pleas
ure Of a paragraph on the subject Of
her turning up again. z"

LOSSES By WHARF RATS - It il not an
uncommon thing Of late, for our mer.
chants here, to receive barrels and
boxes from New Orleans, that have
been bored into and reduced in weight
BY" abstraction" The plan as prac-
tioed BY the thieves who live under
the wharf in New Orleans, il TO bore
holes in barrels, and casks, and after
soaking" as much as wanted to then
plug up the hole, to prevent waste. y
Our baskets should have their Levee
Clerks to look to this matter, for they
IRE certainly bound for losses thus
sustained, after bills Of ladiug have
been signed.

re In speaking Of Mr.. Sargent.
new play Of The Priestess, the Louis
vile Courier says /:
"Mr Epes sargent's play of the
Ariestess is just simply failure. 1t
is neither original in conception nor
effective in execution. The hereis an
impossibility. the heroine an unreal
and vague character. The redeeming
points ofthe play are in the fourth and
fifth acts, and even these, however good
they may be in opera, produce very
little effect in tragedy

The WAR IN BLACK AND WH1Tr.
The evidence taken by the committee
on The state Of the army before Sebas
topol, shows that Lord Riglan is al.
ways writing-at his desk till early !;
that commissary Fielder is continually
writing also--quill driving for seventy
two hours at stretch and that wri.
ting constitutes, to an equal extent, the
employment of the heads Of the medi-
cal department. Nothing but pen,ink
and paper one would think the pre-.
sent struggc was a paper war and we
cannot be surprised that the affairs in
the Crimea are stationary. -Panch.

The hope I'll aIae World.

That man has arrived at the ulti.
inatum Of his social relations !; there is
no one SO blinded. an to believe. Tha,
he is capable Of better things--of &C.
cupying higher moral grade, and
becoming hereby a more perfect be-
ing; there is no one willing to deny
and upon this, in connection with the
fact. that mind itself, as well as mat
ter, is progressive--seeking after high
er and more perfect Developments,
do we look for better things to come
out Of Egypt, to which the pre-
sent, morally benigbted condition Of
society, may well be compared. Look
about and behold Tie picture every
where presented to view! 'Twould
seem that light from heaven, has
been set before us, purposely to lead
us into darkness-a charge that no.
thing but the profanity of mn ignorant
and imperfect creature, could bring
against bis Creator. What is the
spectacle" the city presents ? Vices
---effeminate and dobasing vices
such as put to the blush Of impotency,
the weakness Of a Coligula or Don,i-
tan It is no forced comparison 10
say that the modern Gotham is like
unto the ancient Herrnlaneum, when
in its besotted lethargy it was buried
in The ashes Of Vesuvius. Does any
one deny the truth Of the comparison ?
Look to the record Of the times, and
see how page after page is stained
with the blood Of innocence, whilst
vice runs riot at monday. It needs
no prophetic eye te discover, that the
present condition of society. can no
longer exist, than the present time
It must change perhaps grow worse,
but it will 90 down, in order to gather
materials for the great social earth
quake that must come, to raise man to
higher and better state of exist
ence.
Religion-the pure and nnadultera-
ted religion of Christ, has lost its bear
ing in the hands of modern teachers
and deserves no longer to be called
the faith and practice Of the lewly
Jesus. What must be done ? We
ask not the question as q visionary
dreamer, and do not consider that we
should be called an unbeliever ID The
power Of faith, for asking because il
is faith, in the belief of a better con.
dition for man, that prompts US to ask
the question. Verify, the startling
