1t has been stated that Father Hyacinthe had
established q newspaper in Paris. Upon the eve
of publication he abandoned the scheme to his
brother, but the public generally considered him
the chief editor He combats this opinion by the
following letter:
Sir-I am supposed in various quarters 10 have
as great as secret share in the publication OF La
Concorde. am persuaded such way OF acting
would be attributed to me by nobody acquainted
with me; but owe 1t to the public to declare the
rumor groundless. Unquestionably my sympa-
thies are with work in which my own brother
is engaged, and which promises to add new
strength to the cause Of religion and liberty. This
cause is more than ever mine; but there are diff
ferent ways Of serving 1t, and am desirOus to re-
main In the silence which my conscience laid me
under at the commencement of the crisis we are
going through. "Humble thy heart, and await
patiently saith the inspired book, sand hasten
thee not on the day OF darkness" Receive, &C.,

-sThe friendly separation case between the
ex.oueen Isabella Of Spain and her husband says
the Paris correspondent Of the Daily Telegraph,
sis settled. Don Francois gets $4,000 year, tied
I'D tight, but the ex-Queen retains the rest. AS
they always appeared to be on the best possible
terms and were more polite than the average OF
wives and husbands 1t Is hard to say why they
wished for separation; but so twas. Accidents
will happen we know, in the best regulated fami-
lies. 1t seems to me pleasant hotel blotted out
OF the list OF our entertainers. You know the
history OF the Hotel BasilewsEi-it Is SO good
must repeat 1t. The Russian Don from whom 1t
takes its name spent so much money on the stone
and cement that he had none left furniture, or
even bread and cheese; so he took lodgings, went
In for .Spaniards,' and landed coup. The young
Prince has, Isee, secured wair or stray OF fl2o-
600 out OF the wreck Of Spain. The ex.King Con.
sort has temporarily taken ground floor in the
Rue des Ecuries d'Artois."

often complained that he could not sleep. DR.
Hammond,s examination was then resumed
witness repeated that he came to the conclusion
that the congestion of the brain with which tht
prisoner suffered was the cause Of his having com
mitted the deed. All the indications Of tht
prisoners case led the witness to the opinion tina
Mcfarland was insane at the time. he though
that II the prisoner had kept away from the Tri

The New Orleans Price Current, In discussing
the prospects Of sugar culture in Louisiana, says
that the Increase In the number OF acres under
cultivation is from fifteen to twenty per cent ove
the area planted last year. The wan: OF al
adequate supply OF laborers continues to be &
great drawback, for while some planters arc
pretty well supplied with help, there are grea
many who will be unable to properly cultivate
the ground which they have planted, and wht
will, OF course be still worse off when 1t comes
to gathering the crop. In some parishes many
laborers have been obtained from tile moro
northern Of the Southern States, but this supply

migration Of old and experienced tlllers OF sugar
fields to the adjoining cotton districts where the
system OF working on shares is more In vogue,
