THE ATLANTIC SEA-BED.-Among the in
teresting results of submarine or deep-sea
explorations conducted under the auspices
of the London Geographical Society are
those in reference to the Atlantic sea-bed
1t would seem that the bottom of the North
Atlantic is occupied by two valleys. the
eastern extending from ten to thirty de-
grees west longitude, and traceable as far as
the equator, with an extreme depth of less
than 1900 feet, while the western valley
reaches from the thirtieth to the fiftieth de-
dree of west longitude. The two are sepa-
rated by a ridge in thirty degrees west long
itude. along which the average depth is
only 1,600 fathoms, and which can be
traced northward to Iceland and south
ward to the Azores; it is volcanic in char
acter at both extremities. Its extreme
breadth is somewhat less than 500 miles,
and the depth of the water increases on
both sides of it according to the distance of
the axis

The Political Crisis in England.

The Political Crisis in England.
LONDON, March 19th.-It would be diff
cult to exaggerate the seriousness of the
political crisis. 1t is impossible to say what
may not happen. The split between Glad
stone and Morley on the one hand and
Chamberlain on the other, is complete and
bitter. The reason why Chamberlain and
Trevelyan have not publicly resigned is
that the Ministers, on their resignation, are
entitled, according to official etiquette, to
deliver speeches in the House. declaring
their reasons. This, in the present case,
would involve a premature disclosure of
Gladstone's scheme, which, of course, they
have no right or wish to bring about. 1t is
the present intention to hold Cabinet
Council tomorrow, when probably all will
be decided. Party feeling runs extremely
high. Such excitement and anxiety in
political circles about domestic affairs has
never been known, and a complete break
up of the Liberal partyis not by any means
impossible. The fact must not be concealed
that Gladstone's scheme, and with it all
chance of home rule for the present, is in
no slight danger.

took the people entirely unprepared, and
has been extraordinarily oppressive and
troublesome. In Paris there has been a
change in temperature. and several persons
have been attacked by sunstroke.

A SPLENDID STRUCTURE TO BE

Some Account of St. Roses Church :

1t is well known that there is to be
erected in this city very soon a superb
structure for the use of the Roman Catholic
worshipers of this vicinity The building.
which is to be located at the corner of
Twelfth and K streets, will be cathedral,
an episcopal seat for diocese to embrace
Sacramento county and parts of the adjoin-
ing counties. and will absorb what is now
known as the Marysville diocese. The
name of this new diocese is not yet deter
mined. The Bishop who will have juris-
diction over it and have his seat in Sacra-
mento is Right Reverend Patrick Manogue.
D. D., an able man, and one of much prom
inence in the Church in California. He is
in every sense business Bishop. and may
be said to be a church-builder. While vet
a priest he erected church buildings that
cost over $780, 600, and when he was ap-
pointed Bishop there remained scarcely a
debt of S. 900. He built a church in Vir-
ginia City in 1868 that cost $50, ,000 1t was
burned down in the great confiagration OF
1875. In 1876 he built another one. which
cost $4,000. The altar of the former one
came from Toulouse, France, and the
freight upon IL alone was in excess of $500

when the wages of labor and the cost of

him to examine the papers on which he

somewhat surprised to find several letters

letters were from his stanch Democratic
friends of the Capital City. in which strong
protests were made against his appointment
and reasons given why the writers were
better fitted for and entitled to the place
than he. For the first time he learned
what scoundrel he had been through life;
how he had betrayed his friends, the grand
old party, and been renegade on general
principles, and committed about all the
crimes in the calendar. "Ah, ha :" said
