The following, from the London Spectator
OF January Both, is all that has been made
public of one of the most remarkable discover
les of its kind ever made:
The librarian of the India House has, we
learn, made most splendid "fnd," He has
discovered in chest, which had escaped at
tention, nothing less than the library of Ii
mour, collected by the Mogul in the course OF
his conquests. Among other treasures are
documents of extraordinary value conneeteu l
facts are, we believe, fully ascertained; put we
have still to learn whether the chest was 1o-
tanned in the first or second seizure oi Oeinl'
where it must, we imagine, have oeen reiig-
iously preserved by the heirs Oh inc great lar
tar.

Pere Hyacinthe, who keeps as quiet
as possible, is to be waited on to-
morrow by a deputation of clergy of
Boston. for the purpose of rendering
him q reception there. He called at
Gen Dix's house to- day, but the Gen
eral was out of the city, and subse-
quently, on the French Consul.
The clergy of New York will take
no action until after the deputation
from Boston has ascertained his in
tention. Most of them are in favor
of expressing their sympathy for Pere
Hyacinthe on the ground that he rep
resents in himself great principle of
ecclesiastical liberty. They are to
call attention to his sntecedents as
q great Catholic Priest, and his oppo-
sition to the Ecumenieal Council,
next Sunday, in their various
churehes. It is said Father Hecker,
of the Paulist Father, is to have an
interview with Pere Hyaeinthe to-
morrow, and he will use his priestly
offices to have him restored to his
former status in the church.

The New York Tribune learned on Mon

says. an ultla Montane; is not new and

any reason for Identifying the ultra NJ on

date the ultra HOntane theories, and con-
stitute to them the creed OF the Church,
but that on the contrary 1t viii leave the

great achieve1D ents OF civilization of the

ligious belief, on wllfeh he dWells with par

/. WILMINGTON, N. G., October 19-
The Cuba was libelled to- day and
the United States Marshal boarded
her and demanded the surrender OF
the ship into his hands. Commander
Higgins declined to surrender the
ship except to an officer of the United
States Navy, and under direct order
from the President of the Govern
ment. To-day Lieutenant Commander
Pierson, of the United States Gunboat
Frolic boarder the Cuba and de-
manded the surrender of the vessel,
showing an order direct from the
President for the Cuba to be turned
over to him. Commander Higgins
then surrendered his sword and ves-
sci to Lieutenant Commander Pier
son, and himself a prisoner of war to
the Navy of the United States, The
Cuban flag was then hauled down by
the United States authorities, and the
entire crew sent ashore.
The affair In some of its aspects IS
regarded here. as an outrage, espe-
cially the turning loose in our city Of
over one hundred sailors and marines
entirely beyond restraint or control of
their officers. In anticipation Of
trouble, large special police force
has been put on duty to night.

LOUISVILLE, October 19.-The case
of John Conley, the negro who was
sentenced to be hung by the State
Circuit Court some months ago, for
the murder Of George Pope, another
negro, was taken before the U. S. Dis
trict Court to-day upon a writ Of
error, it being claimed that the State
Court had no jurisdiction. Judge
Ballard remanded Conley to the State
authorities for execution. He held. in
his opinion, that the State Courts had
full jurisdiction Of the case, and that
he found no error in the record of the
State Court. He further held that if
both courts had jurisdiction, that
Conley, in going to trial before the
State Courts, could not now appeal to
the u. S. Courts.
Conley's counsel prays IN appeal to
the Supreme Court of the United
States, and the case will be taken and
tried there in January. Meantime
Conley will be respited until after the
decision of the Supreme Court.
