will not close this hastily written sketch
without word Of compliment to the choir
which furnishes vocal and instrumental music
for the occasion. 1t is one of the best volun-
teer choirs have ever listened to. 1t is In
spring, heavenly, angelic, to hear them, and
makes mortal feel that his soul is being lifted
on the wings OF sacred melody into the re-
gions of the beatifled, where the purified and
redeemed dwell, and not as though forced in
to the angular, artistic, artificial and unnatu-

The Arguelles Case-Important Evidence.

The President communicated 10 the Senate
. despatch dated June 10, from Thomas Saw
age, acting American Consul-General at Hav-
ana, relative 10 the case OF Don Jose August
In Arguelles and the statement that his arrest
was sought because Of his opposition TO the
slave trade. 1t appears that Arguelles cap
tured slaves in the expedition, as was his off,
cial dnty but instead of surrendering them to
the Governor General, he sold portion OF
them aud accounted for them that they died of
the smallpox and had been buried and b. biib-
ed curate 10 attest it. The testimony shows
that thirty-eight were sold 10 one man, twelve
to another, and the rest were distributed in a
similar way. Captain-General Dulce. who
has been so much abused by Arguelies, has
been very efficient in capturing slave expedi-
tons, that but five have escaped him during
his administration, while four and a half of
another have been captured.
ConsulGeneral Savage further AYERS that
the story Of Arguelles's wiGe's presence In
New York Is not true. He represents that
these capturd slaves, surrendered to the Gov
ernor-General, are termed Emancipados and
contracts with planters at nominal sum are
made for their temporary service; but that
great frauds are perpetrated upon them. a
common one being TO report portion ofthem
dead, Or when other slaves die to testify to the
death OF Emancipados instead, by which
means they are retained In slavery.

British House of Commons.

This very respectable body of legislators has
recently became the scene of some merriment,
and the grave members have been engaged in
debate about one of their citizens, Mr.. Home,
the great Spiritualist. 1t seems he repaired
to Rome and there fitted up studio for the
purpose of working in sculpture. Now the
Pope don't have much fellowship with evil
spirits, and this Mr.. Home is reported to be
accompanied by spirits from the other world,
and some Of them not quite so good as they
ought to be. Signor Matteucci, the Minister
OF Police called upon this celebrated Spiritu-
list and catechised him on various topics.
This police officer said to him, "you have pub
lished book in France and England stating
that certain spirits wait upon YOU" Home
replied. 81 have done that thing" Then will
you undertake that no spirits shall come to
you while you are in Rome? inquired the Of
fcer. Mr.. Home replied he could not do that,
for the spirits come TO me Of their own accord
However he promised not to hold any seance,
and would not do anything to call them or
against the laws of Rome.
Home thought this was satisfactory, but in
short time another officer came end ordered
him out of Rome in forty-eight hours. Mr..
Roeback brought up Homes case before the
House Of Commons, and said the right Of q
British subject had been infringed, and that
the government ought to give him protection.
MIR. Roeback made quite long speech and
the members heard him, but there were roars
OF laughter all over the House. Mr.. Roeback
said he had no feeling on the subject, but
thought Mr.. Home had been treated shameful
ly by the Pope or some OF his understrappers.
Othsr members spoke, but the matter subsidized
and nothing was done tor the relief OF this cell
ebrated spiritualist. The Government don't
feel inclined to interfere, and 80 Mr.. Home
can't have 1.-THE privilege Of cultivating one OF
the fine arts in Rome. It is said he is a well
behaved man, but the Pope won't suffer him to
remain on his premises. We don't think a
war between Plus TX and Queen Victoria will
grow out Of this transaction, and Mr.. Homo
must look for protection to some other gov
eminent than his own. He could not say,
"Ciuis Rondnus Sum-" once so powerful in
Rome, and his being British subject don't
seem to help the matter, so Mr.. Home mus
remain on the, "Fast Anchored Isle," or 70
to some place where the inmate Of the Vati-
can has no power.
