Of the Church, and indeed Ill ltaly were shortly
at his foet-tAe Austrians, after few sharp
conflicts, retiring from all their Italian posses

alpine Republic, ceding Venice to Austria in
compensation for the loss Of Lou1bardy. The
Pope lost the three legations Of Ferrara, Bo-
logna and Ravenna. Shortly afterwards dis.
turbanoes arose in Rome and Naples, which
occasioned their occupation by the rcpubli-

LACK or REVERENCE IN THE YOUNG.-Rev
A Smith, Commissioner of Public Schools in
Ohio, in a recent Report, makes some forcible
remarks upon the want of good manners shown
by the youth of the present day, in their con-
duct towards the aged. After alluding to the
Difference and respect which the youth of for
mer dsyswere taught to extend to their superb
ors in age and wisdom he says:
.'But whore, in al Our land, does this good
old practice now prevail! Who does not know
that bows and courtesies, on the part Of our
boys and girls, are Obsolete1 1T hes been re.
marked that "there are thousands of boys in
this great country, not one of whom have ever
made a bow, unless when he has occasion to
dodge snow ball, a brickbat, or a boulder"
"Some eight or ten winters since, Ex-Goyern-
OF Everett, Of Massachusetts,, with the late Amos
Lawrence, was in a sleigh riding / tD Hoston.
As they approached a school house, a scoro of
young boys rushed into the street to enjoy their
afternoon recess. Said the Governor to his
friend, ''lot US observe whether these boys make
obeisancc to US, as wa were taught fifty years
ago" At the same time he expressed the fear
that habits of civility were less practised than
formerly, as they passed the school-house, all
question and doubt upon the subject received a
speedy if not satisfactory settlement, for each
one of those twenty Juvenile New Englanders
did his best at snowballing the wayfaring dig
nitaries.'

CONVICTION OF ONE OF THE PHESIx CLUB
At the last Westmeath (Ircland) assiEes, Martin
Fallan was charged with having in his posses
sion the passwords from illegal (Phenix) socie-
ties. The prisoner was arrested in Castletown
on the 3lst of February. The police found in
his waistcoat pocket . document containing
these passwords, which are represented as be-
longing to a secret sOciety:-"We expect war
with England and France" ''The Irish Brigade
is on the advance" "Let each man hold his
station" ''fhe navy is making preparation" T"
You seem ignorant" f" II am better bread, :"
The night is dsrk-as black as heresy," That
the trumpet of freedom may proclaim a war,
Hoist the French eagle and American star"
The right hand to the nose and the left to the
ear" The evidence was to the effect that f3S
were found in the trunk Of the prisoner, the
rules and regulations Of the society in America,
and certificate of naturalization. granted to
him in 1854 by the United States. He was found
guilty.

ENDORSING NOTES.-The last Knoxville
Whig contains an editorial article upon the CON-
mon practice OF endorsing business notes, from
which we clip the following paragraph:
FOR our part, we have but little Of this world Q
goods, and our endorsement is worth NOTHING to
any one. The business Of endorsing we have
entirely quit, and come what may, we will en-
dorse no more for any one, ms n matter of ac-
commodstion. We have quit too, for two and
sufficient reasons. First, we have either been
sued for, or had to pay, nearly all the notes we
had TO endorse for others; and next, we have
the vouchers to show, we have paid more secu-
riiy debts than all we now have is worth in any
market Under these circumstances, If any
one wishes TO hear us say no with an emphasis,
let him ask US to endorse bis note.
