DIR. DEwEY's LEcTURE-The sixth lecture Of
this gentleman last evening" was one of surprising
interest and power. We have rarely or never
heard lecture that exceeded it in the breadth and
scope Of its bearings in its condensation OF truths
in its compactness and elegance, in the beauty and
clearness of its majestic diction and In its practical
Importance TO the welfare Of society everywhere.
Necessity, Slowness and Discipline formed his
theme. To attempt to shadow forth anything Ike
just conception of its intrinsic value in few lines,
is simply and totally out OF the question. An entire
column would be insufficient to do anything like
justice to it, it would be almost as easy to con-
dense Buffers Analogy as to condense 1t, or to
subtract a portion of the data from proposition
without vitiatng the whole. 4.r.f. Yg.
II should be printed and scattered like the leaves
of the forests over the land as antidote to
of the more glaring evil tendencies of the country
at the present time as ballast to the tremendous
press of sail we are carrying and which is hurry
ing on the ship of State at an unnatural and dan
gcrous speed. Ii was indeed a mine of brants
sparkling with the purest rays as they flashed out
in the sun of truth, in which they foated like
clouds in golden atmosphere. A4
The select and cultivated character of Dr. Dew
ey's audiences, aud the sacredness of the place
vented anything like applause; but last evening
the pent-up feelings of admiration could restrain
themselves no longer, and when he closed, there
fore spontaneous and hearty outburst of aprro.
baton from the entire audience, showed how pro-
found an impression he had made. Orleans

FRoa RoME.--The evangelical society which
has in charge the public worship Of Protestants in
Papal lands have received intelligence recently of
a most cheering character. AT Rome the Ameri-
can embassy is the only Protestant place of wOr-
ship open This is held in large room capable
of seating from 200 to 800 people is filed each
Sunday the Americans and English crowd 1t full;
it is nearly self-sustainng. The preacher is Rev.
A. w. Mcclure, recently of Maiden, Mass The
English are quite restive under the fact that in
their embassy no Protestant worship can be held,
while the American Minister worshps IA he pleases
and invites the world to Join him. When Pope
Plus found it convenient to leave Rome for sea-
son, Mr. Cass did not recognise the usurping gov
ernment He did more than refuse He took
several of the frightened cardinals under his roof
and gave them protection till the Pope came home.
AS mark of gratitude to Mr.. Cass for bis conduct
the Pontitf gave him permission to hold public
worship in his house. Nothing was said about the
size of the room or the audience. So Mr.. Cass has
had fitted up commodous chapel, and all who
please come and worship.
Fusion FOR FREEDoM AND SLAvERY.--The result
of the spring elections has certified the American
party of one thing and that is that the other par
ties hate Americanisln more than they love the
shreds and patches which they call their princi-
pesn Fusion against Sam" has been the order
of the day. No town was too small for fuson-no
city too large--no cause 80 worthy-but it must
be sacrificed by the other parties to combine
against the American party Yet in spite of this, the
American party has come out nobly from the con-
test. Where it has failed, it has been because of
the united opposition of both armies of the enemy
Republicans and Democrats have entered into an
alliance to crush out the formidable opposition Of
this new party. Where it has succeeded, it has
been often over both parties united, and often
when displaying its strength in a free hand to
hand fight. The American party is more numer-
Gus to day than last November, when it elected
its S ate ticket. 1t is more ready and more zeal
GUS for the combat now than it was then, as
sured as 1t was of victory.
Can an honest Republican look at the town
elections in this State this spring and not confess
that his party is sham? Can he see his po-
itical leaders trading off the party to procure a
triumph Of administration men, and not resent
their treachery? These leaders get up Kansas
meetings shrek loudly for freedom, proclaim un-
dying hostility to the Pierce party and then go to
the polls and vote for its candidates. and thus for

-BuRYrNG RoMAN CATHOLICS III SwAMPs.-In the
famous fat plantation of tJohn of New York, call
cd " Calvery Cemetery" the dead bodies of the
poor class of Roman Catholics are buried in
trenches sometime seven by seven; to oc-
cupy the least possible space, aud give poor
+John ample room for more dggings But it
appears that not many miles from Gotham, Ro-
man Catholics are buried in a worse manner -
Cotpses are made to float under ground until a
sufficient weight of mud is thrown on the coffin

This is what happens in Eizabethtown, New
Jersey, where Roman Catholics, rich and poor,
are buried in swamps, paying from six up to
thirty dollars body.
The majority of the congregation of st. Marys
Church have petitioned their Bishop TO remedy
the evils, which have kept for long series Of
years the whole Pensioners in continual war
fare, they have exposed to his lordship, tBsiley,
in the most humble terms, the imposition and
tyranny exercised by that broken down politician,
the sexton of the church; they have asked for
redress-but all in vain
Lord John tBailey protected the sexton, pats
in friendly manner Father Howell, and laughs
ut the peaceful remonstrances OF his diocesans.

from the blessed swamp" near Elizabeth city

The WHEAT.-The continuous covering of the
earth by snow was generally hailed with delight on
the part OF agricuturists but experience has shown
that the usual advantages derived therefrom are
not apparent at present in the wheat fields. A
farmer mentioned TO us the other day that at least
one half of his crop had been destroyed smother
ed for the want Of air owing to the fact that the
face OF his fields first covered with ice, through
which the air could not penetrate, before the fall
Of snow upon them. Air Is as necessary to the
vegetable as il is to the animal kingdom, princi
