DIR. Eigenbrodt, of New York, upon whom the
Churchman had been rather severe. The journal
rests its defence upon the truth of it's assertions.
which it proceeds to prove by copious readings in

This unlraternal contest affords much amuss.
ment to worldly observers.

Switzerland, q majority of the Catholic Grand
Council has decreed, ia spite of the resistance of

more of his recent history. Poor fellow he saws
he has lost in our free country all that he valued
his health, his money and his good name, and

IMPORTANT CHANGE IN THE EDUCATIONAL system
OF RUssIA.-A letter from st. Petersburg says:
Hitherto in Russia the military schools were re-
served for children of the nobility in the service
of the government. The education of the paternal
circle were bound as soon as possible to quit their
homes and enter the military establishment where
they were brought under the superintendence of
the state. The Emperor. Alexander has modified
that state OF things, and has laid down as the
basis of all MILITARY education: "a free access
to such establishments for the whole Of the youth
Of the nobility, no matter where they have received
their elementary instruction, and to such non. noble
persons as have finished their studies at the Uni.
versity 2dly to encourage education in the bosom
of families; and 3dly, to leave young men as long
as possible under the care of their own friends and
relatives"

John f. Rathbone' Esq, Of Albany. 1t is said
to have cost $4,000. It records the results Of its

labor attending the astronomical calculations at
the Observatory.
RIGHrs OF MARRIED WoMEN,-The House of
Representatives of Indiana, on Friday last, passed
a bill, securing to married women whose husbands

compulsion Of n judicial sentence, in cases of
felony, all their own property, real aud personal,
all they may make during such d~esertion, and all
the proceeds of debts due their husbands, for the
support of themselves and families. Tile object
of the bill, the Indianapolis Journal considers, is
to give to deserted wives the benef. of their own
labor and earnings, and secure them agains. the
exactions of mean husbands. As the law has
been, IA worthless husband, after an absence of
years, could return and deprive the wife of all that
she might have accumulated, while he was away
playing the sot.
