A secret conclave was held at Rome on 18th
December, in which the state of the Romish
Church in Mexico and South America was con.
sidered. The Pope complains bitterly of the
doings of the new Government in Mexico, and
declares all measures which it has taken against
the authority of the Apostolic Chair to be null
and void. He also denounces those priests
who obey the laws of the country in which thew
live, rather than the instructions forwarded
them from Rome.
The Archbishop of Paris had been assassina
ted, while performing religious services in the
Church of st. Etienne. The assassin stepped
forward, lifted his cape, and plunged Catalan
knife to the Bishops heart, exclaiming. Down
with the Goddess AN exclamation which he
afterwards explained to refer to the doctrine of
the Immaculate Conception. The Bishop fell
upon the pavement, and instantly expired A
Sister of Charity, who had observed the move
ment, attempted to throw herself between him
and the Archbishop, aud was wounded in the
hand. Verges, the assassin, was formerly
priest In the diocese of Meaux but had been
suspended for preaching against the dogma of
the Immaculate Conception He was in the
insurrection of June, and on that occasion re-
ceived the murdered prelate in his arms. The
general opinion is that he was deranged. The
crime created deep sensation at the Tuleries.

HUGH MILLER AND HIS SUICIDE.

That Hugh Mller's death was a suicide is
now proved by the verdict of medical inc uest
and the tenor of the following note left to his
wife:
"Dearest Lydia: Ny brain burns. / must
have walked and fearful dream arises upon
me. cannot bear the horrible thought. God
and Father of the Lord Jesus Christ, have mercy
upon me. Dearest Lydia, dear children, fare
well. Ny brain burns as the recollection grows
My dear, dear wife, farewell.
90 HUGH MILLER"
The particulars of the approach and posses
sion of the insanity that thus unhappily cul-
minated, are very sad, and have created wide
sensation in England and Scotland. An Edln-
burgh journal thus speaks of Mr.. Miller's last
work
For some months past, his overtasked in
tellect had given evidence of disorder. He be-
came the prey of false or exaggerated alarms.
He fancied-if indeed it was fancy-that, &C.
oasonally, and for brief intervals, his faculties
quite failed him that his mind broke down.
He was engaged at this time with a treatise on
the Testimony of the Rocks upon which he
was putting out all his strength, working at his
topmost pitch of intensity. That volume will.
in few weeks, be in the hands of many readers +;
and, while they peruse it with the saddened i'm.
preston that the intellect and genius of the
author poured out their latest treasures in the
composition, they will search through it in vain

Atlantic, from Liverpool on the 18th instant, ar

are four days later than those received per
America at Halifax.
Lord Napier has been appointed British Min
lister to Washington. He is a practiced diplo-
matist, having served in similar capacities in
Austria, Persia, Russia, Naples, and Turkey.
The London Times objects to his appointment,
on the ground that, though well fitted by diplor
matte experience to represent the country in
the East, at any despotic and military Courts
in Continental Europe. he is not the right man
for mission to Washington.
The proceedings of the Paris Conference re-
main obscure. lie Pays says the Conference
. met on the Sd, but the Moniteur is silent. The
delay is attributed by some to the necessity for
time TO prepare the protocols, and by others to
a new disagreement of detail, but not of princi-
pie, respecting the compensation to be paid to
Russia. No apprehension is felt for any other
than pacific result.
The Swiss Government has declared its will
lingness to put stop to the proceedings against
the insurgents, if France and England will
promise their efforts to procure the complete
independence of Neufchatel, and to withdraw
their adhesion to the protocol of 1852. If an
arrangement cannot be effected on this or an
analogous basis, all the Swiss will rise and de.
fend their rights and independence. The great

mated that should war ensue, four hundred
thousand will be under arms. The canton OF
Geneva, being in want of 100000 francs for
arms, that sum was subscribed at the town hall
IN twenty-four hours. A favorable augury is
drawn from the apparently-cordial reception
given by Napoleon to the Swiss Envoy.
The London Gazette publishes an official &C
count OF the hostile operations against China
confirming the previous details.

GENERAL INTELLIGENCE.

KANSAS AFFAIRs.-S. Louis, Jan. 2l.-The
Republican has published an advance copy of
Governor Geary's message. His views on the
subject of squatter sovereignty are embodied in
the following words:
"The durability and imperative authority of
a State Constitution, when the interest of the
people require State Government, and direct
the popular vote necessary to give it sanction
and effect, will be proper occasion once for
all to decide the grave political questions which
underlie q well-regulated Commonwealth
The Governor advises the Legislature to let
Slavery alone where the Constitution places it !;
to forego legislation in reference to it until a
State Constitution is formed recommends that
errors and omissions in the statute book be cor
rected; denounces the testoath act, and recon-
mends its repeal.
The Governor disapproves of the present
mode of selecting jurors, and recommends q
selection by lot; insists on the adoption of the
ballotbox plan of voting, and suggests that the
law requiring a residence in the Territory of
ninety days and in certain districts of ten days
prevents illegal voting. The balance of the
message, which is an able and upright docu-
ment, is devoted to local affairs.
FROM KANsAs.-&. Louis, Jan. 22.-The
Convention at Lecompton, Kansas, adjourned
" tne iftn instant, aIter passing reSoiutlohS
embodying the views and principles of the
party hereafter to be called the National Dem
ocratic party.
Both branches of the Legislature repudiate
that portion of the Governors message relating
to the repeal of obnoxious enactments.

EXTENT OF THE STORM.

The extent of the storm cannot yet be ascer-
tanned. We have accounts of it as far north,
south, east, and west, as our communications
reach. AT Bangor it was furious, the roads
impossible, and the thermometer six degrees
below zero on the 10Th. At Montreal, same
day, the thermometer was fifteen degrees be-
low zero, and there was a terrible gale and
snow storm and at Quebec, on the 18th, the
thermometer was thirty degrees below zero
At Buffalo, on the 18th, it stood at eight de-
grees below zero on the 10Th it was FIVE de-
grees above, with slight fall of snow, and the
mails from the West irregular. At Oswego, on
the 18th, the thermometer was eighteen degrees
below zero, and on the 18th three degrees be-
low. AT Ogdensburg, on the 18th, the Their
p,ometer was 36 degrees below zero and at
Watertown, same day, forty degrees below zero.
At Utica, on the 10Th, the thermometer was five
degrees below zero, and heavy snow storm.
At Boston, Portland, and Springfield the snow
was very deep, and the railroads were blockaded.
At Springfield, it was the severest snow storm
since 1889. AT New Bedford the ferry boat
was frozen up in the river, and locomotives at
tempting to break through the snow drifts found
them in some places as high as the smoke pipe.
AT New Haven, on the 10Th, the thermometer
was six degrees below zero. At Providence
the snow was two feet deep, and the railways
were impossible ct Dubuque, Iowa, on the
10th, the thermometer was thirty-seVen degrees
below zero. Same day, at Cincinnati, the Their
mometer was four degrees below zero, and the
ice in the river was foot thick. AT Chicago,
on the 18th, the thermometer was sixteen de-
grees below zero. 1t has already been stated
that the severe cold and snow extended as far
south as our information has yet reached, the
ultimate point being Weldon, On. C.) If the
reader will take a map of the United States,
and mark the above points, he will find that the
cold spell has covered the greater part of the
States, and that the snow has spread over an
incredible area of country. All Canada, Kew
England, New York, New Jersey, Pennsylvania,
Delaware, Maryland, Virginia, and we know
not how many other States, have shared in the
Philadelphia North american.

PersiG.-Feruk Khan, the Persian Minister,
had left Constantnople for Marseilles. Pre-
vious to his going, he paid a visit to Lord
Stratford de Radcliffe, who returned his call,
which is thought somewhat strange, seeing that
diplomatic relations were suspended between
the two countries they represent. There is a
rumor 4hat the Shah of Persia has written an
autograph letter to the Gar, asking his advice
and assistance. On the one hand, it is stated
that Feruk Khan definitely promised to Lord
Stratfor6 that Herat should be given up, and
the citizens recompensed; while on the other,
it is said that Sadr Azam, whose dismissal the
British insist on, has been named Prime Min
lister for lfe

The Senate then proceeded to the considera-
ton of the special order, being the bill from
the House of Representatives authorizing the
establishment of a navy depot on Blythe island,
at Brunswick, on the coast of Georgia, and for
other purposes the immediate question pending
being the motion of Mr.. Mallory to recommit
the bill to the Committee on Military Affairs.
Mr.. Biggs moved to amend the bill by stri
king out the words CON Blythe island, on the
coast of Georgia." and insert " at some proper
point on the Atlantic coast between the capes
of Virginia and the capes of Florida, to be
determined, after careful examination, by
board of FIVE competent naval officers to be ap-
pointed by the President of the United States"

SENATE

Mr.. Toombs moved take up the bill more eff.
fectually to enforce the attendance of witnesses
on the summons of either House of Congress,
and to compel them to discover testimony ;
which motion was agreed to.
The bill having been read
Mr.. Hale took various exceptions to the bill
in its present shape. He was opposed to the
hasty manner in which it was passed through
one branch and attempted to De pushed through
another, to meet particular exigency. He
further condemned it, as striking at all known
usage in the common law and at the recognised
privileges of witnesses. He was altogether will
ling that a law should be passed to compel
a witness to disclose testimony under proper
restrictions but denied that the present case
was one of such pressing emergency as to have
a bill hurried through without due investiga-
ton, and. gave it as his opinion that it ought
to be recommitted to the Committee on the Ju-
dietary. I@tIf
Mr.. Toombs defended the bill as containing
every requisite provision, and expressed sur
prise that it should have met with objections
from any quarter. +
Mr.. Seward acknowledged that some measure
of the kind might be necessary still, he was
not prepared to vote blindly for q law that might
abridge the liberty of the citizen. Mr.. s. then
went on to point out certain defects which he
proposed to remedy, if he could but, if not,
still avowed his purpose TO vote for the bill in
its present shape. He then moved certain
amendments, which he conceived would render
it less Objectionable, to wit; In the seventh line
