RHODE ISLAND LEe1sLAruRE.-
Rhode Island is a small State, and re-
quires little legislating. The legisla-
ture Of the State, which adjourned on
Friday of last week, sat only eighteen
days. only eight Of which were really
occupied in legislation. The assembly
passed thirty.four acts and resolutions
ola public, and thirty-eight ola private
nature. The annual tax hereafter is
to b. FIVE cents on each one hundred
dollars. instead Of three, as at present
and the tax on banks is to be thirty
three cents on each one hundred dol.
lars, instead Of thirty. This will in
crease the revenue of the State $4O,-
900. The Governors salary has been
raised from the miserable pittance of
$500 to 81 900, and the Lieutenant
Governors from 5000 to $500. Seven
new banks have been chartered, and
two insurance companies.

DISEASE AMONG CA1rLE.-The
Planters Banner. published in the
parish Of St. Mary, gives . distressing
account of the death of horses, and
cattle of cborbon. The Banner says {:
Mr.. j. M. Huger, we understand, has
lost on his plantation forty.five horses
and mulee and sixty head Of cattle.
At Bayou Sale, on the plantation Of
the late Thompson Hord, We learn
that nearly, if not quite, all the stock
has been killed; and on Mr.. Benz.
Hudson's plantation, in that neighbor-
hood, the loss is reported as very great.
On the prairies and in the marbles
this disease is sweeping off the cattle
at q wholesale rate.'

SAcRAnENrAL WrNE.-In New

the officers of one of the Churches

without Physicians prescription, sta
ting that the wanted vine was for med

amendment to the law, for certainly
wine should not be prescribed from

Tns PArAL PowDR.-Ths Josrn.
al Of Comnerce" notices At length the
efforts II the Spanish and Sandman
Governments to effect some temporal
independence of the Pope Of Rome.
The substance Of the contest Is thus
summed up: -
Two powerful vaasals of the Pope
have thus virtually throws of the
yoke Of temporal power. The hand
Of ecclesiastical tyranny which has
weighed heavily upon them for Gen.
tuaries, has been shaken away, and
the chief curse Of ages Of political
paralysis removed. What England
and Germany did three hundred
years ago, has now been done in part
by Spain and Sardinia; but unfor-
,unately the same weapons Of intrigue
ecclesiastical and alternating threats
and cajolery. are evidently preparing
by Rome now, that were used in for.
mer days; and there is every reason
to fear that modern reformers will
encounter as many troubles and cares
in perfecting their patriotic work, ~
we're suffered then. The relations
between Sardinia and Rome have
been recently most unfriendly. and
the whole weight If the Clergy influ.
ence has been thrown into the anti
progress scale. According to the
latest intelligence from Europe. 1.-THE
Pope was also profoundly afflicted at
the state Of things in Spain and the
general opinion was, that the diplo.
matte relation between that Kingdom
and Rome would speedily cease. 1t
was rumored that the Spanish Minis
ter at Rome, NJ. Pacheco. would be
handed bis passports, and confident
hopes were entertained that the in
fuence Of the clergy over the people
would be sufficient to excite them to
rise in force and overflow the Espar-
tero government. The monks had
begun to ag;tate the minds Of
the superstic;ous. and It had been
given out at Madrid that. an image Of
the Savior, in the Church Of St.
Francis. had sweat blood out Of grief
for the sale Of church property! Some
sven affirmed that they had wiped
IF blood from tile image, and Others
that they had seen its eyes move!
Thus renewal Of the old war
begins. On one side liberty strugg.
ling for development; on the other,
nterdicts, accommodations, author |
zed treason and rebellion, massacre,
,ivil war, and all the ills that follow
n the train Of ecclesiastical usurpation.
And f9s what? To retain the possess
ion u large endowments, which
Rome acknowledges are in q great
Measure misapplied, mismanaged, aud
q the hands Of lax, worldly Religions

progress and development Of the ma
