SAINT Notwithstanding to the writers,
St Patrick was born near Dunbriton in Scot
land, about a. D., BIT. When quite youth, at
the age OF sixteen, he was seized by some Irish
marauders and sold ass slave in Ireland. After
five or six years of captivity he escaped from
his masters aud returned TO the land of his ma
tivity. Having started on journey to France,
in q few months afterwards, he again cap
tured by the Picts and carried off by pirates
and sold at Bordeaux as slave. When he OBJ
tanned his freedom, he turned his attention to
study entered monastery and became monk.
He spent seven years in France and Italy, and
was at the latter place ordained priest But
his desire for the conversion of the Irish would
not allow him to remain in any other work.
Hence in the year 1872 at the advanced age of
forty five, he landed on the coast of Ireland and
commenced his missionary labors in Lagcnia a
province in the northern part of the island. His
labors very onerous It's said that for several
years he travelled on foot from place to place,
Slept on the ground and toed necessarily to
establish Christianity in every part of Ireland.
He made several journeys to Rome, to obtain
from the Pope persons to assist him in the mis-
sionary cause When he had become infirm
from age and excessive toll, it is said that even
then che preached daily, superintendent the af-
fairs of all the churches, held La council annually
laborcd to cYize the nation, to impart to them
letters, and performed every duty of good
shepherd, till, worn out with age and toll, he
died about a. ID. AGO, at the age of eighty three
He is said to have erected during his lifetime
3G5 churches, cOnsccroted about as many bsh-
ops, and to have ordained 5000 priests

A daring robbery, and probably murder, was
committed on Thursday morning in Baltimore.
The pastors residence attached to the Church of
the Immaculate Conception was broken into by
some daring robber. The Burglar entered the
chamber of the Rev. Mr.. GuiStiniani, who, upon
arising from his bed, was knocked down with a
billy or slungshot, and left insensible lupon the
floor while the villain rifed his pockets, taking
thereirom what money he could find, and also
the gold watch of the pastor, which was lying on
the table. The Republican of last evening gives
1.-THE following particulars:
''The Rev Mr.. Quigley, the associate pastor,
being in an adjoining room, was awakened by
the noise, and got up to inquire what was the
matter. Upon going. towards his brothers room
he met the burglar who instantly presented
pistol al his breast, and demanded his money or
his life. Mr.. Quigley begged that he might be
allowed to so to his chamber for the money
Being allowed to pass he went into the room of
Mr. Guistiniani, and found him lying on the floor,
weltering in his blood. Seeing watchman's
rattle in the room, Mr.. Quigley threw up the
window and sprang the rattle with all his
strength. Instantly the villain, who was wait
ing for him, fired upon him, and fled out of the
house. Fortunately, Mr.. Quigley was not hit,
the ball whizzing past him, and burying itself
in the window frame by which he was standing.
police officer shortly answered the rattle, but
too late to intercept the daring burglar. The
injuries ofthe Rev. Mr.. Giustiniani are so serious
as to cause painful approximations of a fatai ter
mination."

Terrible Sentences in China.

A letter from Whampoa to the New York
Herald says: "a short time ago a woman
was convicted before the Imperial Court for
the murder Of her husband; she was sentenced
to be cut six times, and then be bebeaded,
which sentence was carried into effect. The
unfortunate woman was taken to the execu-
ton ground near the above temple; here she
stripped naked, then seven e]xecutioners car
ried the sentence of the law into effect; two
of them cut off her breasts, two more cut of
the ieshy part of her hips, two more cut off
the thick part OF her ankles, the parts cut of
being thrown in ROM of her to look at; this
done, her head was severed from her body,
and her horrible sutierings were put an end
to. If a criminal happens to bea female, her
sex seems not to gain sympathy from her
male companions. | am informed that in
most cases the laws are more severe against
females than males; however, it gives me plea

lately i~nterposed, and his issued his procla-
nation prohibiting the mandarins from in
ficting any more oftheir severe punishments,

tanned by a discussion of the following ques-
ton: (Which was the greater Nation, Greece

from L. to Ii, but the talent displayed would
have done credit to those Of maturer years.
The iron implements OF logic were handled
with considerable force and ingenuity. Ia

derived from history, which surprised us as
coming from boys. God speed You, young

The Sickles Trial In Washington.

Mr.. Ould addressed the Court, on Monday
and concluded his argumentin opposition to
the admission of evidence to prove the adul-
terry. The Court decided that the question
of competency of the evidence was to be de-
cided after the evidence was all adduced.-
The declaration of the prisoner at the time of
the murder, it was proper to have explained.
1t was due to the prisoner as well as right for
the jury that this expression should he ex-
planned. 1t was one which ordinarily would
have but one meaning, but still it might be
differently understood by the jury. The
Court was of the opinion that it was admis-

The Reform Bill in England-The Ministry.

Corr. of the n. y. Commercial Advertiser.
LONDON, April IL, le59.-The discussion
on the reform bill having terminated last night
by a majority of SO against the government,
in an almost unprecedentedly full house,
the question Of a change OF Ministry Is now
the grand topic of public attention.. II the
majority had been less, a resignation, would
not have been considered certain, since not
withstanding some reservations to the con-
trary, there was a strong impression that DIT.
Disraeli and many OF his followers would, If
thew could have persuaded Lord Derby to
the same view, have been willing for an In
definite period to hold Office.
There seems now, however, little doubt
that they will retire without even venturing
on the alternative of a dissolution, as IN the
face of the verdict just rendered, they would
have no justification in putting the country
I the annoyance of a general election on the
plea that there is a reasonable probability of
a reversal ofthe Judgment being obtained 10y
that means. Indeed the fact Of Lord Derby
having made up his mind to surrender office
seems already to have been indicated by the
publication Of the names of several OF the
adherents whom he intends, as a final ack-
d~owledgment, To recommend lor eie'atioh
to the peerage or baronetcy.
Of course the succession to his office will
lie between Lord John Russell and Lord
Palmerston. A Ministry which would unite
the two would enjoy the confidence OF the
country, but most persons are still inclined
to doubt that they could work together har-
moniously, or that either would serve under
the other. With regard to domestic legisla-
ton, including the question Of reform, the
mass of the liberal and constitutional party
would have every reliance ON Lord John
Russell, but he has no skill for foreign al
fairs. On the latter, Lord Palmerston-
whose best certificate lies in the fact that all
the intriguers against England would look
with their old dlsmay on his accession to Of
fce-is the statesman u whom alone the
vigor and intellect Of the public turns with
any thing like intuition.
