SIGNIFICANT NOV EMENT.

A very important, iftrue, bit of , Jews :
comes to us by tue last English mail
the news, namely; that a s.considera-
bic number" of Anglican clergymen
have determined to attend the forth.
coming General Council at Rome.
in order to ''lay their difficulties before
the assembled prelates of the Universal
Church, Their a'earnest desire,n it
seems, is TO be united to Rome, but
their chief difficulty is that they have
perfect faith in the validity of their
orders, and believe that it would be
sacriiege either to submit TO reordina-
ton or to revert TO the position of lay
men. A special committee has been
appointed at Roine to deal with the
subject of Anglican orders, and our
contemporary has no doubt that the
reverend pilgrims win have all their
doubts set at rest:
As the ultimate result of this miss
ion to Rome, the London Weekly Reg.
istef-a well informed Roman Catholic
journal-anticipates that there will be
San accession to the Charch of some of
tho best and most pious Anglican cler-
gy, and that many amongst the laity
will follow their example.n
This isa curious proceeding-an it
will be watched with no little interest
On this side of the Atlantic. The Am
eilcan branch of the Anglican Church,
happens to have not a few cEergynlen'
within its pale, who seem to be troub-
led with the same difficulties as those
which afiiiet the brethren abroad,
and if there is to be, on the part of the
latter, any travelling Romewand, it,
wonld not be surprising if they should
have company from this side.-[N. Y.

monstrance and solicitation which. has;

him just as much TO do and to bear as.

IDENTIFY not a man Of affairs. For the
ramiiied duties, the varied, diffuse, and
often conflicting consideration of the
Presidency, he betrays neither apti--
tade nor capacity. Indeed, he is
known to be bored by every applica-
ton or request which relates specifi
eally to any one of the departments.
He refers such applicants curly and
instantly ito Mr. Fish," "Mr. Cress-
well" or any other Mr.. Secretary, fire..
quently naively adding: 81 know
n"thins of these things; you mnst go
to the Department" Far from finding.

fast that he has always ever since lean
ed on Others. ...His cabinet ruined
him." is the common saying here, and
they might hatch conspiracy under
his very nose and he would be none
the wiser till he had read it in tfc
newspapers. For everything of A
startling kind which will occur during
the coming years, the men around him.
not the President himself, will be most
likely cilargeable for the origin and the
prosecution. He has already been
cowed down into a jelly of acdauies-
ence. If he arouses and shakes off the
tranimels. he will do it only for short
time, and he viii soon fail back again.
A civil administration no more calls
out those qualities of stolidity and self
independence, Which were said to have
characterized him in uniform, than did
the tannery business.

IMMIGRATION TO THIS CoAsT.-A New
York special says that over one hundred
passengers start to day on the weekly
through train for San Francisco. The
Panama Railroad Company and the Pacific
Mail Company have completed arrange
ments for reducing the rates of freight,
to compete with Cape Horn and the over
land railway. The charges were TO be re-
ducc1 oncionrth or one half the present
figures" Is it desirable that immi grafton
to this coast should be encouraged? Tn a
humanitarian point of view, we unhesitat-
ingly say that it is cruelty to the deceived
immigrants, and an oppression to the al
ready over.chargcd labor market on the
Pacific. The land monopolics and the spec
ulators in cheap wages may desire to see a
crowd and hopeless tcnantry, and thousands
of shivcring wrctchcs hunting for labor, but
both principle and seli:intcrcst call for a
check to be made to the deception that is
practiced by the Pacific transportation lines
to fill their purses at the expense of the
laboring class. There is society of work
iugmen formed in this city, and we suggest
to them that it would be in their line of
