sHAYT1-Advices from Port au Prince to
June state that, on May 81, the Diplomatic
Corps, consisting ofthe representa- the
United States, Great Britain, France and
Spain, had: an interview With, President SAL
nave, who annou ced to them his determina-.
ton not to yield to the insurrecG cGonists, but to
hold out to the last. On June 8, an attack was
made by the Cacos upon the town OF Port au
Prince, but the rgvolutionists were repnlsed.
-Salnaye put the prisoners taken by him to death
without mercy.5: The remainderiof the north
and northeast suburbs was set fire to by Sal
nayes orders, and burned to the ground.
On June 4th Salnave sent out q deputation to
the southern revolutionists in order to try and
effect compromise. The terms proposed by
Salnave were that.he should be allowed to keep
the presidential chair, fore his threey years to
run, and would consent to give the ministry 10
the southern generals; and that the army OF
the south shnnld enter Immediately into this
city and join him iii repellng the Cacos. These
propositions we're Indignantly refused BY the
southern generals, who demanded in their turn
as their ultimatum that Salnaye should lny
down his arms and leave the country. The
United States steamer Penobscot had arrived
at Port au Prince, and had landeda fire engine
to be used in protecting American property in
case Salnave set fire to the town. rfafs -

A ROMAN CATHOLIC 'CoUNon.-An authors
tatiye announcement has beed made that the
Pope was recently engaged in dellberation re-
specting Grand Conference or General Coun-
oil or the entiro Catholic Church throughout
sworld. .o.....,....,, :; o.,
The Conference is to be beldin Rome during
next winter, or 1t msy possibly be deferredun-
I'll the winter of 1869 10, owing TO the difficult
ties and delays attending tho convocation OF
members from oil parts OF the world. This
council will be much more grand and imposing
than the gathering OF prelates and representa-
tiyes oil the church that attended the cnnonlza-
ton of the Japanese martyrs, or the announce
rnent Of the immaculate Conception OF the Vir-:
gin Mother. 1t will be deliherstiye in it's
character. and will be the first General Council
of the Catholic Church that h1s been held since
the,famous Council of Trent.
The object, OF The new General Council are
ssid to be political rather than religious The
church is to take ground once for all against
the alleged infidel and revolutionary tenden-
eies of the times, and interpose as q bulwark
against anarchy and the dissolution OF society.
Such, at least, are the objects of the Council,
ma announced by Cardinal Manning, in Eng
land. A Council oil the Catholic Church for
any purpose, must be grand and important
event and be attended with consequences that
cannot fail to exert potent influence upon the
affairs of the world. The unity, concentration
of purpose, and wonderful organization OF the
Church throughout the world, makes it potent
for political as well as religious powers.

TIE CRops IN ENaLANp.-All the accounts
from England speak of the prospect of
large yield Of the crops this season in that
country. A writer in the Pail Mall Gazette of
the LIST instant says: ....,.s..s. - =
The area under grain crops is unusually
large, and I have no doubt that coming Stats.
tics will show an excess under wheat alone OF
one hundred thousand acres over that OF last
year. have just been over an estate in Lin
colnshire which contains seven thousand acres,
five-sixths of the tlllage area Of which are un-
der grain crops, and the remaining One-sixth
only under roots and cloyers. Excepting on
light soils, the yield Of artificial grasses will
be heavy. The yield OF meadow hay will NOT
exceed an average. >. 9a..,,, - ~,
AS with corn, 80 also with, stock husbandry
are. prospects singularly cheering. Cattle are
unusually free from disease, the clip OF wool is
heavy, the number of lambs is great, while
pastures are. luxuriant.s :, Altogether: the food
produce Of 1858, judging from present pros
poets, promises great abundance.
