TEE ESCAPE OF SrEPHENs.-Stephenl
is believed to have escaped from Ireland
at last. The Cork Examiner states that l,
has excellent reason for knowing that he
has left the country, and that previously
TO his departure he addressed the Fenians,
recommending them to devote more atten-
ton TO peaceful pursuits than they have
given for some time past. His wife is
understood to be in Cork, and to be ready
to sail by the next steamer for America.
Various rumors are aaoat as to the means
by which he made his escape. According
to one report he got away from Oakley
in a "hooker," while another account
mentions that he is generally believed to
have got away in an open boat, while the
American corvette Canandaigua was in
the harbor Of Dublin. It may be an ua-
charitable suspicion, but it is difficult to
imagine that the vessel visited Ireland
with an altogether friendly purpose. Her
presence was decidedly Objectionable in
more ways than one-chiefy because it
led the peasantry to believe that the Amer
lean Government intended to afford them
substantial assistance, and so contributed
to keep up the disturbed state Of the coun-
try. Her crew. also, were almost entirely
Irish, and considering how widely spread
Fspianism is among the Irish in America,
i. is no. saying too much to assert that
the visit Of the ship might DO construed
into a declaration Of the sympathy OF the
United States Government with the Fenian
movement. It is also very remarkable
that the escape of Stephens should have
become known only after the departure OF
the Cansndaigus.-London Shipping CD

SUNDAY

EDITOR News: Tho remark Of q friend
. few days since, that the man or wo.
man who left Nevada half Is good as
when they arrived, could be called smart
persons" led me to think Of the probable
causes Of q decline in the status OF our
citizens. Undoubtedly, the prevailing
greed Of gain is the primary cause; and
in thousands Of instances, has led to the
decentralization Of both sexeS. A second,
and mos. fatal error, has been and is the
apathy in regard to religious things. l
have been astonished to find at the gath
erings Of Protestants-and Catholics, as
well-so few families, SO few young men
and maidens, and the entire absence OF
enthusiasm or ever common interest in
the s~ustenance Of either church or pastor.
Yet / see upon the streets, a host OF
shrewd, intelligent men, whom I knew to
be leaders in church enterprises elsewhere,
and females whom I know adorn and
grace their homes, and whose families
were always found in the house Of worship
on the Sabbath day, in California, but who
rarely darken the doors Of a church here.
I see young men, sons Of pious parents, in
saloons and on street corners, seemingly
oblivious that Sunday has come, and
should be observed a. q day Of rest and
religious improvement and I cannot for
bear the comment, that these indications
point to the moral ruin OF our social and
political fabric, sooner or later. The COM
mon practice Of labor in some mines, in
nearly all the mills and by teamsters, il
| most senseless and pernioious. The per-
son Of most moderate intelligence should
know that. a. q physical law, six days Of
labor, both for man and beast, require one
day OF rest, and that every violation Of
this rule entails loss of health, wealth and
reputation. The records are full Of proc!
Of this fact. Not to weary any reader, ]
will sum up my reflections by saying ]
look to the females Of Virginia and Gold
Hill as the only powerful agents to check
tho downward movement and check the
evils mentioned. Let every woman who
has d family resolve that each Sabbath
she will visit q house Of worship, with her
husband, children and friends whom she
can influence to 60 with them (; let them
speak Of /. to all they meet, and In two
months the change in habit and action
will be 90 marked a. to excite remark.

A MAGNIFICENT FBTE.-The Trustee:
Of the Mutual Life Insurance Company,
on Tuesday evening last, gave a grand re.
ception in the beautiful building they have
recently constructed at the corner oil
Broadway and Liberty street. The entire
house was admirably decorated with
flowers and flags. AT least a thousand
persons were present, among whom were
noticeable some Of the most distinguished
Of our citizens. There was q 6ne COLA
ton for the guests, which wal gotten up
in Delmonico's most elegant style, and a
band Of music enlivened the scene. After
supper, the guests were formally welcomed
by the President Of the Company, Mr..
Winston, and Judge Bradford gave the
following interesting information regard
ing the history Of the company: ut be.
gan business in ls4S.. upon the mutual
plan, without any capital. The first cash
It received was $l09 so, on the first of
February, l843. Its cash accumulations
and investments are now $4,000, 900. It
issued in the 6rst year 429 policies, insur-
ing for Sl,6ol,slS. During the present
year its issue will be upward Of 1000
policies, insuring over S26,ooO, 900. The
policies now in force are $4,000 in num-
Der, insuring for $1,000 900. It has
paid in losses, $500, 900. Nearly three
fourths Of all the policies issued are for the
benefit Of ladies, and belong to them. At
the outbreak of the war the Trustees
deemed it their duty to aid the Govern
