The AMERICAN PEARL DIsCovERIEs.-A recent
number of the Journal of Commerce furnishes the
following information upon this interesting subject
We were shown the largest one which has yet been
| found and ascertained its estimated value to be
$780, This pearl is rarely surpassed, either in size
or appearance, by any that are imported-beng over

was found in New Jersey. Most of those pearls are
beautifully tinted with pink, which color is deemed,
by connoisseurs to be in no wise inferior to white.
Tiffany Co have purchased about one hundred vall-
able pearls, many Of which estimated to be sngly
worth from $50 to $75, and are about the size OF
large pea Besides these, there are something like
three hundred about gill; of all Sizes shapes and
colors, which comparatively valueless. 1t is very
common for them to be pear-snaped, or irregular

to effect its removal had nearly covered it with sub
stance resembling that of which the shell itself is
formed.
Although pearls have been found most plentifully
in New Jersey it is calculated by well qualified
Judge, that the total value of the discoveries does no
exceed Sc, 900. Yet as many as one thousand mel
have been employed at one time in searching TO
pearls, and at length the muscles have been well nigl
extermnated. This last result is not at all strange
when it is considered what relentless warfare ha
been kept up against this unfortunate bivalve. ON
man who offered some pearls for sale the other day
remarked that he opened two thousand without find

it is probable that four times their value has been ea

CAPT. DAVIS 1NsTRUor1oNs-The following Is all
of the letter which has reference to Walker and Nj
caragua in the instructions of Commodore Mervine
tn Davis.

caragua in the instructions of Commodore Mervine
to Capt. Davis:
U. s. FLAG sHIr INDEPENDENCE,
Bay of Panama, Jan. 49, 1857.
Sir You will prepare the U. s. ship ST. Mary's
under your command, for sea, with all practicable
despatch, and when ready, proceed to San Juan del
Sur Nicaragua, where the presence of man-of.war
is necessary in consequence of the unsettled state OF
public affairs.
The precarous and straitened condition of the for
ces under Gen. Walker may induce him to attempt
depredations upon ATerican citizens in that State,
which you will prevent and restrain.
In the event of the expulsion of Walker and his
forces from Nicaragua, by the allied armies, and his
departure to adjacent territory in Central America,
for the purpose of hostile and aggressive operations
you will take such further measures, with the force
under your command, as circumstances shall require
for the adequate protection Of American citizens.
It appears that Commodore Mervine was very lib
era in his instructions to prevent depredations upon
American citizens by Gen. Walker but we perceive
nothing therein which has any reference to depreda'
tions by the allied forces.

Another of the Sermons.

The last specimen of the ''harp Of a
thousand strings" kind Of sermons we have
met with is the following on "the three
simons." 1t was preached lately at the
Goose Greek meeting house by clergy
man of the "Hard Shell Baptist" per-
suasion, and will be found very sugges-
tive.
The reverend gentleman comes late,
walks solemnly into the pulpit, and after
having gone through with the formula OF
his creed comes to the sermon.
"Brethren: While I was riding here an
idea struck me of great importance to the
congregation. The scriptures is full Of IN
struction, and the scriptures in various
places makes various mention Of various
Simons.
There was Simon Magnus, Simon Bar
ionav, and Simon Peter; but of all the
Simons in the, scriptures thar is no Simon
ike unto that Simon that lived down by
the sea shore, and he was a tanner.
aSaint Mathy takes this subject up
He speaks of many Simons, and he says
thar was Simon Barjonay, Simon Peter,
and Simon Magnus, but he also mentions
thatsof all the Simons thar was no Simon
hike unto that Simon that lived down BY
the sea side, and he was tanner.
Likewise Saint Mark testifes unto the
scrintures. He also says there was many
S;nlops that there was Simon Peter, 81
mon Magnus and Simon Barjonay, but OF
ali the Simons thar was no Simon like TN
to that Simon thatlived down BY the sea
shore, and he was tanner.
So also Saint Luke and all the SAINTS
bear witness unto the scriptures, they all
hear witness unto these Simons, and they
an attest unto the truth that OF all the 2 q
mons thar was no Simon like unto that 81
mon that lived down by the sea side, am
he was tanner. =,
aGlory unto Simon. Glory unto all
tba s;r,onsl Glory unto that Simon
that lived By the sea shore, for ne was q
tanner .-s.

4 Reform IN THE RoMTsH CHURCH. -
BY the rcalar just addressed by theArch
bishop Of Vienna to the clergy Of his do
cese, we learn.
l. That the Archbishop is empowered
by the Pope, to remove by "dispensation,
the prohibition Of marriage between Cath.
Ole and non Catholic Christians.
2. That the dispensation Will only be
granted when it appears certain that all
the issue Of mixed marriage will not be
educate in the Catholic religion.
s. If the bridegroom, being non-Cath-
ole faith, the priest will perform the mar
riage ceremony, but if he refuse to give
such promise, and his adianced Bride per-
sist in her resolution to enter into q natri-
monial engagement with him, the Papal
brief Of May 22d, 184I, comes in force,
and ''the parish priest shall receive the
declaration Of their resolution to marry in
the presence Of two witnesses, but shall
carefully avoid giving to the act the APP
pearance Of an ecclesiastical ceremony"
The foregoing arehbishopal ordinance is
the concordat and Imperial patent Of o.
tober 8, 1856, have not rendered the I'M
ion between female Catholics and consci-
ontious male Protestants impossible.

We do not deny that noble principle
is embodied in conservatism, but we also
say that it has been the rock and castle Of
tyrants and oligarchies in every age. Our
party in Missouri has been conservative in
all things,and yet it could not prevent the
repeal Of the Missouri Compromise, the
Kansas outrages, and the dis-union agita-
tons last summer. We have held the
balance evenly, trying with all our might
to keep it poised; but the weight of the
Niger was thrown in by our enemies, and
the disturbed equilibrium we were unable
to restore. All bat the immortal who
holds the balance ''betwixt Astgea and the
