VAUGHAN, THE NEW CATHOLIC ARCHBISHOP  OF WESTMINSTER. and for his energetic conduct of the college of St. Bede, with its branch at Bonn, where the German and Eitglish educational systems are combined. His diocese of Seiferti is one great network of philanthropy and parochial orgarisation. He has a great reputation both for pulpit eloquence and personal piety. It is said that the Pope intends to present the "Gulden Rose " to Queen Amelia of Portugal this year, and that the presentation will be made with due solemnity on Easter Day. The tSr. James's Gazette, in commenting on the announcement, questions "whether this tremendous distinction will be relished by the Portuguese in general, and by her Majesty in particular; for the possessors of  1;o.E."  the Papal gift have, by strange coincidence, almost invariably been cursed with dire misfortune from the day of receiving the formerly much-coveted prize of virtue." The "Rose " itself is a beautiful example of the goldsmith's craft, being made of the purest gold, richly ornamented with gems, and made fragrant by being rubbed with balm, ambergris, musk, and frankincense.  The otner Gay at Marshfield, Missouri, a man named Cullen drowned • male child whom be had adopted on the ground, as he stated, that it would become his heir to the prejudice of his own children. The murder was so cold-blooded that the people became greatly excited, and on Saturday night a mob broke open the local prison, dragged Cullen from his cell, and there and then hung him.  The Nice Carnival is singularly unfortunate this year. So far, not one of the events has been favoured with really fine weather. On Sunday it rained continuou'ly, so that it was impossible to hold the Battle .f Confetti. Not only the Public Ffaes Committee, but the town also will suffer serious loss, as many visitors who would otherwise have stayed for the completion of the carnival are leaving.
