There are several things in France, we beg
the casual reader TO observe, besides the
Opera Boufte and the eaB-eafl.
a Polish Coafessor.--Many of our readers
will remember the history of the Abbess
Makrina, Basilian nun, sorely prosecuted
and maitreated by the late Gar Nicholas,
from whose agents she contrived to escape,
to find a sure refuge at Rome. During
twenty 1--we years she governed the Basilian
convent In that city, attracting the ven
Grafton Of all who knew her, and offering
all her snfierings and prayers for the de-
llveraree of her nation from the oppressor.

Mierosiawski was once intimately associated
with that of the Gear Nicholas, from, the

The Jesuit father and celebrated preacher.
Count Authorizations, has been drawing
