mends the exemption of one or more slaves from
executive attachment or legal process, when owned
by a RESIDENT of the State. lie argues for the NOR,
atty Of slavery as well as for its expediency. He
does not approve Of the agitation for n renewal Of
the siaye'trade now unlawful, and its advocacy is
impo.ltie. Ha anticipates q change, however, in
the sentiments Of the people of New England, and
"a speedy anxiety on their part to engage in the
'horrid but lucrative traffic" Meanwhile he rec
ommends southern States to bide their time.

"A letter from Buenos Ayres, in the IIavre Jour.
nal, states that the bishop of that place has excom'
inundated all FreemasOns, and declared their doc
trines Incompatible with those of the Catholic
Church. In consequence Of this, the clergy have
exhorted from the pull pit the wives and childred Of
Freemasons to quit them, and servants to denounc
them.

no restraint, no hindrance, no interference by
Government. The character of citizen is Who'll

particular church.

The CONFESSIONAL IN ENGLAND.-The Bishop Of
London, in his address to the Diocese, commented
at length on the practice of private confession re,
Gently introduced by some Of the English clergy.
The Bishop is of opinion that the authority
claimed by certain among his priests to pronounce
an absolution of sin is an assumption unwarrented
by the standards of the English communion, ami
he warns his clergy against resorting to it. He
nolds, also, that while the English symbols rccog'
nize, to a certain extent, the right Of the priest to
hear the confessions Of penitent sinners, especially
III the hour Of death or other extreme cases, there
is no warrant for the systematic introduction Of
the confessional.
CATHOLIC KIDNApPING,-The Foreign papers re.
late a case which is causing great ex ,itement in
many Parts Of Europe. The facts ae these: The
child of q Jewish family in Italy, where a Catholic
servant girl was employed, on the occasion of the
childs sickness, vas s~prinkled by the girl, in nc.
cordance with a custom of the Church any one be.
ing authorized to tap:ize in such emergencies.
The child recovered, and this baptism has been
treated by the clergy of the neighborhood as chris,
tan baptism, and the boy on this pretence has
been taken from his parents. who are Jews, and
placed In the keeping Of the church. The Father
and Mother have petitioned the local authorities
and even the Pope for his restoration, but without
effect, and tho boy himself is sueing in his childish
way to be allowed to return to his parents. So far
the Church refuses to give him up. The last &C.
count was of his being permitted to see his father
and mother who express the determination to stay
with him. The Church and faHatical clergy, rest
upon the bred Scott decision, that Jows havo no
rights that Christians are bound to respect.
WASHINGTON, Dec. 1.-THE recent escape OF
the fllibusters from Mobile, excites tho most in.
tense interest in official quarters, as 1t is consider,
ed that if they shall be arrested by the British
and other foreign forces, the volunteer feeling of
this country would be aroused to the highest de-
gree of excitement, and immense reinfOrcements
rush to their rescue.-Herce q crisis in the foreign
relations OF our government would be preci plated,
and a most angry and threatening state Of things
probably result between orr government and
those Of Great Britain, Franco and Spain, The
question would arise whether European Govern
ments should be allowed to interfere for tho regu'
lation OF affairs upon the American continent, to
the presentation of which our government would
be committed. The Union of this morning, refer
ing to the subject, says: at is to be hoped that
our own naval vessels may yet succeed in intercep,
ting the fugitive schooner Susan, bringing her
back to our ports, and preserving the fllibusteI
question still longer as a purely domestic one in
our policy. Upon the vigilance Of our officers in
the waters OF the gulf, may depend in a great
measure the peace of the world,
EMANcIPATIoN IN RUssIA.-Accounts from S..
Petersburg to Nov. 4, say that the work of pre-
pairing the SCENE for the emancipation of the serfs
advances slowly and steadily. Most of the provin-
cial committees placed the ent upon the
ground of benevolent condescention accorded by
the nobility to the serfs; bu: the military governor
Of kazan, in his address at the Inauguration of
the committee, took higher ground; and represen-
TED it as an act of strict justice and reparation
due to the serfs, in compensation for what they
have endured during long years OF selyitude.
This is the sound view taken by the Emperor who
does not consider himself engaged in q schema of
philanthrophy, but in securing long delayed jus.
tice to the masses of his subjects.
The applications of the bred Scott decision are
branching and extending in a portentious way.
In Virginia it has been decided that, it q will
gives slaves the choice of freedom or slavery, the
provision is invalid, a slave having no right of
choice in any matter. His legal owner must
choose for him or the law chooses that his lot shall
be slavery. Even a will emancipating slaves, but
allowing such as choose to remain in bondage aud
choose a master among the testator's relatives, has
been overthrow as being a mere bequest of cleo
