A Royal ApOssacy.

Queen Victory is the Defender Of the
Faith and a stsunch Protestant. The
new King of GREECE and his future wife
are OF the same religion, but the nation
over which be is to reign belongs to the
Greek Church. How will the discrspsn.
cies be reconciledg In the easiest way
in the world. King George and spouse
are to remain Protestants, it may be sup
posed, from reasons OF conscience as well
as policy; but their offspring are to be
educated IN the tenets of the Greek
Church. There are those who say that it
is cowardice for parents to cling to hopes
at Heaven fer themselves, but let their
children get along without them--who
are not bold enough to change their own
religion, but decree change for their
posterity. Yet the young King and
Queen, the Queen Of England, Lord Pal
merston and the British Parliament all
consent 10 it, SO it must be right.
And, by the way, the Protestant royal
family of Europe have given plenty Of
precedents for apos,acy, while the Cstho-
lies boast, and believe, with Justice,
that none OF their Princes or Processes
wiilchapge religion from motives OF policy.
The Cars OF Russia have to 90 10
Protestant families for wives, and the
present Cxarina--uf the Lutheran family
Of Hessen Darmstadt-is an unusually
devout daughter Of the Greek Church.
Alexander II had for his frst love a
Princess Of Saxony. but she would not
give up her religion for him, SO he had to
give up her; and there are yet-or we're
two or three years ago--a pair of old
maid sisters, Princesses of the same
house Of Saxony, who are each near nine
ty years old, and each unmarried, be-
cause they were too proud to espouse any
one of less than kinely rank. aud too re.
ligions to accept the offers Of Protestant
nonarchs. while, unluckily for their mat
hopes, none of The Catholic sov-
erelgns of Europe applied for their hands
and hearts London Correspondence

The New York Fireman's Journal, the

New York. held forth us follows on the
18th instant, aud 1.-The mob believed the
scoundre:
seen. Robert T. Lee, the ablest Gene
raj produced by this war, is lying around
IA Pennsylvania, waiting his opportunity.
He, after mature calculation moved across
the Potomac, with an army OF veterans,
having measured the work he laid out for
himself. and all the possible distractions.
The hraggart Hooker-tool OF the Adolf.
tionists--is displaced. Gen. Meade 10
put in his stead. Gen. Meade is = man
antried 10 any such position as he now
holds. He is, however. what Hooker was
not--a gentleman aud Catholic. Poor
fellow He is in hard place aud all the
saints and angels will have hard work to
rescue him. With an Infinite amount Of
gas, they tell us that Lees veterans have
beer defeated, and that what remains of
them are disorganixed mob. Poor
wretches They will feel no compunc.
ton, one ar two weeks hence in owning
up that they were telling pack of lies,
fasnlshed to order from Washington. -
Lee knows what he is about. He has not
imperrll!ed bis forces in the attacks made
on the massed forces on the hills south al
Gettysburg. Either he will YET crush
them, or he will elude them. lie is no,
going to hurry back across the Potoma,
until he does what he came into Mary
land to do. Washington is the game h,
aims al, and so far as we see, he has tn,
