the bishop of the Hartford Diocese, and the Ro-
man Catholic Church property in this city, and
probably in this State, stood in his Individual
| name.
| At the last session of The Legislature of this
State, a law was passed, (see pages II and u of
the new pamphlet acts, 1859 providing that no
devise. lease, grant, or conveyance to or for any
person in any ecclesiastical Office shall vest any
estate or interest in his successor that no pro-
perty appropriated TO purposes Of religious wUr.
ship or for BURIAL shall vest in accordance with
law of this State, that any church property
heretofore devised or conveyed to any individual
shall be deemed to be held in trust for the bene-
ftof the society or congregation using the same,
and shall, upon the death of such individual, vest
in the religious corporation formed by such So
ciety, provided such corporation, organized in
accordance with the laws of this State, is in ex-
istence at the time of the death of such individ-
ual. But in the case the property is held by an
individual, and there be no such corporate body,
then it is enacted:
"Section a. In the event Of such congregation
or society shall not be incorporated as aforesaid,
then, and in that case the title of such real estate
shall vest in the State of Connecticut, in the same
manner and with the same effect, rs if the person
holding the title thereto had died intestate, and
without heirs capable of inheriting such real es-
tate"
The next section provides that the treasurer
shall deed said property TO corporation of such
congregation, when it shall be formed in accor-
dance with the laws Of Connecticut
1t is now probable that Bishop O'Reillcy is
dead. He held several churches and other real
estate, for the use of Roman Catholic congrega-
tions; they were not organised into corporate
bodies, and this remarkable law conhscates the
entire property.-Hartford Times

RELIGIOUS FEup IN CANApA.-Considerab
excitement was created in Toronto on Monday,
the 7th ult, by an announcement that Roman
Catholic procession would pass through the
streets, accompanied by the carrying Of the Host,
for the first time in that city. The Orangemen
were highly indignant and were determined to
prevent it. They placarded the town with ad-
dresses to Protestans, calling on them 10 arise
and put down the proposed demonstration by
force of arms
The Catholic Bishop, Charfonnel, became
alarmed, and announced in the church that the
original plan of the procession would be given
up, and that only the children attending The
school of the Christian Brothers would walk in
procession.-This did not satisfy the Orangemen,
and on The morning of the 7th, party of their
brethren arrived from Hamilton, and it is stated
that two wagon loads of rifles were conveyed to
St. Lawrence Hall to be ready for any emergency.
The Mayor on gaining tidings of these prepara-
tions, went to Bishop Charbonncl's residence,
and induced him to forbid the procession alto

The American Guano Company says the New
York Tribune, have received further and impOr-
tant evidence of the almost inexhaustibe de-
posts of guano on the island which belong to
them. Three or four captains of whalers have
recently exhibited to the officers of this compa.
ny their logbooks, showing that they landed at
| this island and saw the graves of the American
seamen buried there. The existence of the
island and that it is covered with guano appears
to be placed beyond doubt. One Of the cap.
.ains alluded TO offered to abandon the voyage
upon which he was bound and take charge of a
ship to load with guano at this island. This is
one of the most important discoveries for this
country that has ever been made, as it makes
the United States entirely independent of Peru
