Pacific Railroad.

Yesterday, after display of parliamentary
tactics, which consumed some time, the House
Of Representatives finally passed the Pacific
Railroad bill by vote Of 100 to 81. Imme-
diately, however, reconsidered this vote, and
decided, by a majority of 10, to recommit the
bill to the select committee heretofore appoint
ed Such apparently inconsistent legislation is
of course calculated to perplex the public in
regard to the ultimate fate of the bill.

with vivid lightning and rolling tbunder-quite an
uncommon event for January The wind blew
With almost the violence of tornado, driving the
torrents of rain with an impetuosity that produced
peculiar roaring and kissing noise quite alarming
to nervous people. Indeed, ! have heard of some
who were so alarmed that sleep forsook their eyes,
The damage done, though considerable, am
glad to say, was by no means so great as appre-
hended Along the river, part OF the shipping
suffered severely and in the neighborhood of Fels
Point some ten schooners were sunk. During yes

crews Of seven of these sunken yssses had been
lost but, after careful inquiry, it was ascertained
nearly to certainty, that all escaped to the shore
Through the city, numerous awnings, trees and
fences were destroyed and blown down, and the
roofs of five houses were carried off; but have
heard of no personal injuries or loss of life.
A sad accident occurred to-day in the vicinity of

A young man named Coley, engaged with Mr.
Henry Gettier in timing the roof of new church,

rENroRALs, let my right hand forget her cunning,
and my tongue cleaye 70 the roof Of my mouth"
We beg leave TO commend these several ex-
tracts, to the especial notice Of the Hon. Mr..
Chandler, who seems not to have compared
notes with his brother Brownsonl
Brownson's Review furnishes innumerable
proofs, like those above presented, establishing
the point for which we contend.
But our readers must bear with us mo-
ment longer, whilst we prooe an open, clear,
and iaeontestable attempt to exercise temporal
power and authority on the part Of Pope Plus
the Ninth, Within the last three gears, and
upon the american continent!
Itmay be remembered by many of our read
ers that the Congress Of the republic of New
Granada, about three years since, enacted laws
abolishing tithes to the clergy, allowing tolera-
ton in religious ship-abolishing the &C.
clesiastical court establishing freedom of edu-
cation, and diUorcing Church and State in that
republicl
Such was the state of popular evaporation
against the Catholic clergy of New Ora NADIA,
growing out of their exactions, that the bishop
Of that republic Gf we mistake not fed the
country! Ere long the Pope issued his "bull, F"
which was published in the various Catholic
papers of the United States, in the fall Of 1852,
from which we make the following extract,
to wit:
awe disapprove Of oil those things which have
been done by the rulers Of that republic, against re-
ligion, the church and her laws pastors and minis
tiers, and against the rights and authority of hi,
| chair, of blessed Peter. We, raising with apos-
tolic liberty, our pastoral voice. in this your most
llustrious assembly, do censnre, condemn, and de-
clare utterly null and void, all the aforesaid de-
crees which have, so much to the contempt Of
ecclesiastical authority of this holy see and the
loss and detriment of religion, and of the holy
prelates been there enacted BY the civil poscer r.
II the defenders Of the Pope will take the
trouble to obtain the Roman Catholic Mirror,
of date November 27, 1852, published at Bal
timore, they will find this papal bull, in all
its length and breadth, as issued by Pope Plus
Menus, on the 9th day Of September, 1852
The laws passed by. the Congress of New
Granada were based on the same general prin.
ciples as the act establishing religious freedom,
drafted by Jefferson, and passed by Virginia
of our daily paper, and had the Roman Catho-
lie religion prevailed in Virginia down to that
date, the same Papal thunder would have
gone out from the Vatican, censuring, con-
demning, and annulling said act!
Who noW will deny that the Roman pontiff
claims and attempts even at this day, to erer-
else temporal power over both governments
and subjects? and that too on the american
| continents
In the language Of Junius we may say
Sand now, sir, let sophistry evade,-let false
hood assert, and let impudence deny,--here stands

From the Paris Correspondence of the Boston Post
A French Impossibility.

AT the Gymnase Theatre few evenings since,
the audience were startled by seeing an amorous
couple in one Of the balcony stalls embrace each
other with great ardor and affection. The embrace
took place during an entr'acte, and consequently
was remarked by almost everybody present. The
parterrs laughed and applauded. " Bis Bis r.
they cried, in delight; but the couple, apparently
perceived nothing, and were nnocently wondering
at the sudden uproar when the commssary of po-
lice, approaching them, desired their immediate
departure. But 1t is my wife !" said the mari.
I" Impossi6le /" was the commissary's answer; and
they were put to the door, as the French elegantly
express it.

A Departed Spirit sending for his Tea
Kettle.

A sceptical investigates of spritualism gives to
the Boston Times the following chapter Of his ex-
perience at spiritual sitting in Pawtucket, R. l.,
few days sincei
The medium was Mr.. H., who had been an auc-
tioneer. A few months previous an incorporate
old man by the name of W., had died. He had
sold his effects, and himself bid off copper tea
kettle for few cents. And now, on calling for the
spirits to respond, the traps" came, and spelled
out the name of old Mr. WI He was asked If
he wished to make any communication" and the
answer was, "Yesn So he proceeded and spelled
out by the raps, ~ will take my tea-kettle" The
tea-kettle was then simmering on the cook-stove
which stood in the room And while the astonished
medium heard its humming response, and the
message Of old Mr.. W., he became horribly fright
ened, and it was long while before he was content
to sit down for the raps again. However in the
process Of time this shock partially forgotten
and Mr. HIS wife persuaded him to sit again for the
sounds" They had no sooner "fomed the
circle" than this same old w. announced himself
again, and raped out by the alphabet II piH take
my tea-kettleF' This was so pefplexing to the me-
dunn that he refused to sit any more; and soon
AFTER the tea-kettle aforesaid was among the miss
ing, and do not know that it has been heard to
simmer since.
