Blake, chairman.Nr.Joss gave notice that, when any one of the bills for organization of departments came before the House, be would move that, while not questioning the right of the Governor to call into hie Council aoy number of advisers, yet, considering tae heavy taxes slready imposed upon people, it is the opinion of the House that |b | view, was in no way affected by the Act of} nion.These malnries he regarded as charges upon the consolidated revenue.although it was not s0 declared in the Union Act.Me.Rose said be had a bill before the House providing a civil liet, in which tbe saluries of judges would be made charges upon the conso- idated revenue, without making them upon the annual vote of Parliament.The item was then passed.On the jtem of secret and detective service, $50.000, Mr.Mackenzie drew attention to the fact that, while in one part of the public accounts it was shown there bad bsen an expenditure of $41,000 of secret-service money, in another it was shown that of the total appropristion of $100,000, on account of secret service, thero remained unexpended $34,000.Sir Joux A.MacpomaLn saïd the secret-ser- vice »uoney bad been expendud by the committee of the Privy Council, consisting of four members, up to the lat of July last.The amount expended was $41,000,and the remainder of the appropriation was wiped off.In the previous year, there had been a vote for the frontier service, Members of the Government being ah.sent in the west, some accounts came iu for the | frontier service, which the Auditor-General was | in doubt how to charge; he finally charged | them Lo the secret-service fund ; but when he | (Sir John A.Macdonald) returned, he decided they should be charged to the administration of j'istice ; and, if that fand waa exbaysted, then they should be charged as unforeseen expenditure, Mr.Mackmnzia said the explanation was not satisfactory.Ope part of the mccouuts showed an expenditnre of $68,000, while anotber showed there bad been expended only $41,009, Bir J.A.Macponato said the difference between the two nccounte bad been improperly charged to the secret-service fund, and the correction in the mode of charging it bad not been made in time to show in printed accounts.The smount so charged was for salaries of stipendi ary magistrates, Ermatinger and McMicken, and the expenses of the force under their control, which was clearly a charge, not upon the secret service, but upon the administration of justice, Mr.Mackmwzia said the matter bad shown there had been some extraordinary book-keep- ing.Re.Horton aid there was no doubt an irregularity, but be did not suppose there was anything essentially wrong in it.The item was then passed.On the next item, the arrears of 1867, $13,- 937, Mr.Braxn drew attention to the fact that the law fées of Ontario went into tbe Dominion Treasury, while thers was no corresponding charge oo Dominion account in the other Provinces, Mesors.Denix and Cravvsav said that the fees collected by means of stamps in Lower Ca- nade went to the payment of Certain officials, not towards ealsries of judges.The item of Atrenre nf 1867 was then passed.Mr.Ross explained the object of the next item, $32,200, for River Police at Quebec and Montreal, saying it was not intended tbat the whole of it should be charged against the Dominion ;

In writing you, & day or two since, | made allusion to the unusual interest which just now prevails in various sections of Vermont, upon the subject of railroads.Though all the projected roads would no doubt prove great con- Teniences and public benefits, it is not probable that more than one in three of them will ever be built.The Montpelier and Wells River road has many points in its favor, as its friends claim, some of which may be stated as follows: From the Vermont Central road at Montpelier to the terminus of the Boston, Concord, and Montreal road st Wells River, the distance is thirty-eight miles, The route is direct and the grade easy, the heaviest portions of it being only fifty-two (52) feet to the mile.Tis construction would be easy and cheap, since bat little rock excavation, comparatively, would be required.Tbe advantages of the rond to Central and Northwestern Vermont and Northern New York are apparent.It would afford a competing line to the seaboard for all the pur- the poses of travel and commerce.It would give à rendier and casier market, and at less cost, Lo Lhe lumber, produce, and dairy products of portions of Washington, Orange, Usledonia and La- tbe moille counties, tban they can otherwise obtain.1t would prove of large sdvantage to the whole range of northeastern counties, and a saving to the State, by affording them 4 ticker and less expensive communication with the capital.To the Vermont Oentral and Ogdensburg roads it would prove of immense advantage, by invitiog to itself, through them, vast amounts of freight to and from Boston and Portland, which other- wiss would be hauled by the New York Central and the Grand Trank ronde.As affording the quickest, the cheapest, and easiest communication with the [lakes at Ogdensburg and the Great West on the one hand, and the mercantile centres of the Est on the other, it would be of incalculable advantage to that traffic Hig for is- be- nor nor the toruey stated 10 the court that the preponderance was thus strong, and that the jurors were persons pointed out in advance of tbe trial as people who would refuse Lo convict.But the court said that it could pot inquire aa to what passed in the jory-rocm, and therefore this man, whom ninety-nine people in 8 hundred will call murderer, merely on the facts that we have stated, was set free.Now, the country remembers very well that a fraud of this sort was attempted when Surratt was tried.It was proved then (hat the jury that was to try him was crammed full of Roman OCatbolics, with the understanding that they were to acquit him as their co-religionist.Io that instance the fraud was 80 preposterous that tke panel originally prepared was set aside.The great order of Free Masons, which is quite as strong fo thin country as ever the Catholics were, bas been obliged again and again to declare that its members know no difference, in the jury-room, between one of their own society and avother.lt bas been obliged to prove 1his, while it declared it.If it could not prove it, there would be such a storm of indignation raised through the country as would pui it out of its power to do injury sgain.The Roman Catholic Church will do well to heed the example.Whatever false caresses it may receive from false political advisers, and however greatly such lapseess we speak of may be overlooked by the political journals, its leaders may be assured that the \u2018American people believe in maintaining the purity of the jury trial.If Roman Ostholics expect to sit as jurors at sll, their leaders will see to it that they hold to their oaths and do justice when they are there.STRANGE FESTIVAL.(From Zior's Herald.) The Spiritualists celebrated the twentieth anniversary of their origin at the Music Ha'l, March 30.They confess to & shorter history than ispecessary.Their ideas and usages have been in vogue from the hour of man's fall, and probably, judging from the mode of that full, in other worlds before that era.The whole occasion was a mock at Christianity.The mottoes were of ibe most anti-scriptural and anti- Christian type.© The fear of God is the beginning of folly,\u201d was the transposition of Solomon'e declaration;

of the fungus and of the insects, by the fermentation of the sugar, and the presence ot nitrogetous matter, In sugars which have been fitered, none of these impurities are met with.The Suzar-Mite.\u2014Tue ougar-mite, or Acarus sacchari, is in size an considerable that it is plainly visible to the unaided sight.When present in sugar it may always be detected by the following proceeding : Two or three drachwms or teaspoonfals of sugar should be dissolved in a which must always be kept up between these points.tbe the distance by thie line between Boston and Ogdensburg would be something less than b auy of the lines now built, wh'le to Portland, 50 soon a8 the projected Ossipee road sball have the been built, the distance becomes reduced very and materialiy.But the easy grade of the Wells River route, while its other important points are not to be overlooked, is & matter which must commend itself to the jadgment of those leading men, bath in the east aud west, who are in search of gv thorsugbfares between the two sections.ROMAN-CATHOLIO JURYMEN IN THE STATES.(82 (From the Boston Christian Register) The leaders of the Romsn Catbolio Ghoroh, if they are as wise as we think them, will do well to turn their attention to some of the follies committed by their subordinates, who are gull of extravagances which will bring that chure into serious peril, Oo Weduesday last s man was discbarged from custody here by the Supreme Court, who has been threes times tried for do murder, On the second trial all the jury but two found him guilty.The other two, being Roman Catholics, refused to conviet the prisoner, who was & Roman Oatholio.Oa the third tris), one juror or'y was a Roman Oatholio.He stated In the jurg-room that he did not believe the testimony which satisfied tbe other eleven, sud refused to join in the conviction on which the otbers agreed.The governors at.rot large wine-glass of tepid water, and the solution allowed to remain at rest for so bour or so; at the end of that time the enimalcules will be found, some on the surface of tbe liquid, some\u2019 adlering t> the sides of the glass, and others at the bottom, mized up with the copious and dark sediment, formed of fragments of cane, woody, fibre, grit, dirt, and starch granules, which ususlly subside on the solution of even & mall quantity of sugar in water.We have said that the ar mite is very commonly present in the I arer eugars : ve might have asserted that it ie almost constantly so, the statement b:ing based upon tbe exami- pation of not less than ove hundred diffvrent samples of sugar.As a rule the number of acari present in any sample of sugar may be taken a1 a fair indics- tion of the purity of that sugar; the purer the sugar, the freer it will be from the eugar-mite.ow, the Acarus sacchari actually belongs to the same genus as the Acarus scabiei, of eh: insect, than which, however, it is larger, and poster wed of an organization still more formida- le.On Sporules of Fungi in Sugar \u2014Innumerable sporules of fungi are very geverally to be observed in the less pure kinds of sugar; they occur, indeed, most abundantly in those sugars.which favor the development of the acari.They are best seen by dissolviogs emall quantity of any brown sugar fa water, sad looking for them in the sediment which subsides, and which, to 8 great exten.Is constituted of the These sporules are exceedingly minute bodies, usually of an oval form, and either floating singly in the sugar solution, or else adhering together, and thus forming little beaded threads.Under favorable circumstances, the sporules become developed into perfect plants or fungi.Out of seventy-two samples of brown sugar, as procured st diffvrent sbops, subjected to examination, fragments of suger-cane were present in ail but one.These were usually so small that they were visible only by the aid of the microscope.Sporules aud filumants of fungus were present in nearly ali the sugars.The acari were present in sixty-nine of the samples, aud in many ia very considerable quan- titien.Grape Sugar was detected in all tbe sugars.Four of the sugars coutsined proportions of starch so considerable as to lead to the inference that they were adulterated.The results of the examination of fifteen samples of lump-sugar were :\u2014 That in none of the sugars wers fragmenta of cane present.That in three of the sugars only were traces of grape sugar to be detected.That in no case were acari observed, That in none of the sugars were sporules and threads of fungi visible.Ti has now been shown that tbe majority of brown sugars, although not adulterated, are yet, as imported into this country and as vended to tbe public, in an exceedingly impure condition, These impurities prevail to such an extent, and are of such à nature, \u2014consieting ot live animalcutæ or acari, sporules of fungus, grit, woody fibre, &e.,\u2014tbat we feel compelled, bow- ever reluctan ly, to come to tbe conclusion that the brown augara of commerce are, in general, in 8 state unfit for buman consumption.THE FUNERAL DEMONSTRATION.(From La Minerve, 14th.) The city of Montreal and the whole country bave nobly dove their duty.They have rendered the illustrious victim, whose lose bas caused such deep regrets, a magnificent homage proportioned to the greatness of the loss the country has just sustained.Yesterday's demonstration has no precedent in the sonals of Montreal.Never before bave 80 many citizens, civil authorities, military men, displayed such pomp, granted such honors.We are proud of that atutude of our citizens ; the memory of the deceased was worthy of all it obtained.For him it was a testimony of gratitude he bad deserved.Around his coffin were vrowding thousands of our citizens of ail beliefs, of all positions and origins.That harmony and that national union wbich be ioved so mucb, which be defended with so much elcquence, and 10 which he sacrificed his life, existed in this last ceremony, and were off-red to his mortal re.IDAIDS.This demonstration, as honorable for its authors as the one who was the objectof it, bad many other meanings.In afurding such honors to the Hon.Mr.Me- Gee, the public were protesting against Fenian- ism, nad, above all, against the in\u2018amous act of the assassin.Each word of regret which fell upon the tomb of the victim contained the condemnation of tbe detested sect, which chooses darkness to strike ita enemies, which kills naturally because it can live but from lies, robbery, and crimes.Fenianism has, without doubt, adherents among us.Amid that immense crowd, there must bave been a few.What they have seen must be a warning to them.They have learned that their criminal society will be for ever hated by honest people ; and that never,\u2014no, never,\u2014 will it rally the Canadian populations.There wers before conspirators blind enough to rely upon the help of Canada for the accomplishment of their plots, as guilty in their means a3 they were in their results.Before the attitude of our city, their hopes will disappear for aver.Ttat imposing ceremony bas

political life, he has deserved, at bls death, bonors such as were never before conferred upon s citizen of Canada.Does not such an event disclose the finest example of the literslity of our institutions, of our public morals, and of our nations! feelings?Yesterday, the prejudices of race have received a mortal blow, The whole nation, by ita words and by the acts of its chiefs, bas

representative is not responsible for the son of Young Ireland ; and that the gratitade of the Dotainion of Canada must not be lessened in its manifestations by decrees from the mother country.This is a new aspect of the national sutonomy of Canada; and it is tbe most important, since it is based mainly upon gratitude ard justice.Contemporary history may be ransacked io vain to find such an example

charged with baviog conspired together with a tau oot in custody, to solemuize a marriage, in which the man bad personsted à Mr.George Brittan, now deceased, fur the purpose of raising a titleto his (Brittan's) property.Mr.George Brittan for jmany years carried on the business of an ironmonger and general merchant, at Stourbridge.He wus & bachelor, and at the time of his deatb, in Oct.lust, was 75 years of age.For a nomber of years previous to his death the pricooer bad lived alone with bim in the capacity of housekeeper.It mp- peared that the old gentleman died withort tavipg made a will; and on the afternoon of bis death bis relatives were in the house en- deax suring to make some arrangement respecting his property, which amounted to several thougand pounds, when they were astonish d at the entrance of Mr.Roland Price, & local ai- torney.That gentleman, in the most businesslike manner, proposed to them that they should tc ke ali the freehold property belonging to the deceased, together with one balf of the real ea- tate, and that the other half should go to his widow.\u201d Their amazement was great when they found that the quondsm house-Keeper claimed this relationship to the deccased, aud when in proof of her claim she produced a cer- | tificate that she had been matied to their relative at 8t.Andrew's Church, Bordesley, Birm- inghsm, on the 21st February, 1868.Saapect- ing a fraud, tbe relatives at once enleted a caveat at the district Probate Court at Worcester, to prevent letters of administration being grated to the alleged widow.Un searching the register ut St.Andrew's parish, the record of the alleged marriage was found, the wil- nesses to it being William Fisher, the sexton, and a woman named Sussunah Kingdom, said to be p sister of the prisoner, Btill suspicious, the relatives induced the Rev.M.ILill and the sexton lo view the body of Mr.Brittan, and hav- tng done 30, both affirmed most positively that he was not the man to whom the prisoner had been married.To show that it was impossible that the prisoner could have been married on the day named to Mr.Brittan, it was proved that at the time of the marriage Mr.Brit tan was in his

of the deceased.\u2014 It was rumored ia the city, yesterday, that dbvercment had found complete proofs of a Fe- diet organization in Montreal; that 40 members had decided to take Mr.McGee's life; and that, baviog drawn lots as to who would ua- dertake the deed, the choice had fallen upon Whelan.Of course this is merely street-oews, sud we do pot know upon what foundation \u201cbir truth is based.= In the House of Commons yesterday af\u2018er- noon, some very kindly speeches were made by members representing sll parties in the House, va 1he occasion of the introduction by Sir John | A.Macdonald

assassination of Mr.McGee (and we are grieved and ashamed to ssy there are such), that Whe- lan cannot te convicted on circumstantial evidence; but this is altogether a mistake.Many assassine and murderers have been convicted on such evidence,-\u2014being, for the most part, the oaly kind that can be obtafued in such cases.If the circumstantial evideuce is sufficiently strong, there will be no

indication of the policy of our Federal Government, coupled with the unexpected moderation of the Militia Bill and of certain provisions in it which deprive the Governor-General of much of his former authority in military affairs, seems to show that the Hon.Minister of Militia has deeply resented the preference given to bis colleague, Sir John, in the distribution of titled distinction.Though we

heartlessness, which serves to show the depths reached by the pro-slavery Democracy, who are the admiration of a respectable class in Cannda.Here is what the organ of that party sympathiziogly says: \u2014* There were those who regarded the tragic act as a foul murder; but they were immeasurably less than the number who seemed to tbiok that Ireland was avenged on ber faithless but most gifted son

the gallery, with eight or nine others.He wen® through the main lobby and out of the porch within the main entrasce.After he went out I noticed he came back and stood inside the porch.He stood there

affect the Senats through the men they send to the Lower House.To keep a Parliamentary bar fir such characters as Whelan, appears t0 us the smallest business to which the splendid Dominion Buildings

What wretch has belied the New-York Irish in the office oi their admirer?We will not believe this of them with: ut better evidence than the opinion of the «orld.This is a worse account of the Irish in the United States than any that\u2019 Mr.McGee gave, snd, if true, more than proves allhe said.We quote the last sentence of the World's aragraph in all ita illiterate meanness : \u201cIn this feeling they viewed the assassination, however revolting, as an illustration that the highest price for treachery to a desperate canse may be profitiess and end in death.\u201d Tu PresipesziaL Esecrtom anp Tue Ko- Küux Kran\u2014The great question before the United States at present is negro suffrage.Upon that turns the confliot between the President and Congress.On that will turn the coming | Presidential election.The question as to what | man shall fill the Presidential cbair, ia of small import;

sometimes we feel that they would not be cares nt all, except to ourselves; but by resolutely doing each duty as ils time occurs, by resolving that, except when necessary, we will not let our minds dwell on them, (for truly «sufficient for the day is the evil thercof,\u201d) and by trustfully eom- milting our way unto (il, we may relieve our mils of many of our little cures, and in some cases get quit of them altogether.1 allude clivily to such as are almost inseparable from women*s duties, \u2014thr charge of servants, and the care of children or of the sick ;

before him, just a* the foot of the hill, was the old Forum of Rome ; and on descending and passing through he emerged on a wide road\u2014 the line of the old Via Sacra\u2014which was bounded on the right by the Palatine Hill, und on the left by old temples.The recent explorations wade on the bill were mentioned, und the magniticent propor: tions described of the old palace, with the rcows where Augustus sat with bis friends Meca:nas and the rent, andthe ju igment hall where Paul stood before Nero.The broad sweep of steps\u2014as wide as the Musie lai] \u2014 which bad Jed up from the Via Sacra to the ancient pulace, were brought to light at the time of Mr Fraser's visit, Leaving the Mous Pulatinus, the travelier would next come upon the Arch of Titus, erected in his honor by the Ser ate and people after his return from the destruction of Jerusalem; à little to his left he would find*the Coliseum, the most utupeudous ruin of them all; sud retracing his ep into the imnst populous part of the present city, be would find the only building worthy to be named beside it: viv, the Pantheon, or Itotmda.The temple wax now used as à courch, and the niches of the old godsof Rome were filled up with a'tars and tigures of the Madunna sud saints, There, as elsewhere, it was not ensy to say whether the heathenism had beeu Christianiz-d or the Clirstisnity heathen 2: The Pantheon, indeed, represented Kime in sll those aspects inst, the Rev.D.Fraser delivered a lecture in the Music Hall, entitled # Three Weeks in Rome.\u201d Mr.Dougall occupied tie chair, there was a large attendance, and the lecture, which occupied about an bour and a half, was listened to with close attention.Mr.Fraser, in beginning, said that Paris was the city of cities for maguificence, and London, for the expression of power and wealth; but for absorbing interest, and the charm of historic association, the queen city of the world was Rome.In ege, of course, it was nothing, to Damascus, and it was also surpassed in antiquity aud rivalled in classic memories by Athens.Nor could they forget the interest which attached to the fallen city of David snd Solomon; and yet travellers said that it was almost as well not Lo visit Jerusalem uow.The poor shrunken town retained few relics of ils ancient dignity, and the religious sentiment might be hurt rather than strengthened by an actual survey of Jerusalem in its present state, Rome, of course, was alsoshrunk from ita imperial size, and had suffered terribly from time, war, flood, and fire; but it still wore an aspect of majesty, like some fallen monarch bearing his adverse fortune with 8 silent dignity, and making one forget the crimes of his reign in the very grandeur of his ruin, The modern traveller enterrd Rome ly railway, coming off at the poorest station which any metropolitan town could show.It was on the castern side of the city, near the old Pretorian camp, and bard by the ruins of toe public baths of Diocletian, the pers\u201d cutin, Emyeror.The police and revenue officers did all they could to make travelling disagreeable, but with a cool temper and & good conscience one could easily endure it all, and would soon forget the annoyance in the feeling, \u201cIam in Rome at last.\u2019 The t.sveller, however, should make up his mind to see nothing at all corresponding with the modecn idea of a five city.The streets were narow and ill-swept, only one of them\u2014the Corso\u2014having any pretensions to dignity.This street was about & mile long, quite straight, and, what was rare, had a sidewalk, but su narrow that two men could barely pass, and sa for going pasta lady, it was, at the time of his visit, out ol the question.In the day-time the streets were crowded, \u2014ut least they were so when te was there at the height of Lhe season.Any number of ecclesiastics, male and female, and of papal soldiers, were going about.So [ar as Be could observe, the city was quiet and orderly.Une did not ree vice stazgering in the form of men or flsunting in the shape of mercenary women.People were in the habit of saying that life was very corrupt at Rome, but at all events one was not obliged tu know that.There, and in the continental cities generally, pullic decency was enforced.It muat be wided, however, that Rome was very evidently ill at ease, His visit was paid before the events of the last autumn, and the Papal Government seemed to sitsecure ; but he thouzbt there was an sir of disquiet and concealment about the people.Kspionaye was the rule; discussion was very unsafe and enerally avoided ; newspapers could not he Foogh, or any intelligence obtained of the outer world, beyond what the Government thought it desirable to reveal fur their own interest and the public good.Certain names must not Le mentioned; certain men's photo.craphs must not be exposed.Indeed, very few photographs could be seen except those of the Pope,\u2014the Pope in red and the Pope in white ; the Pope with his bat off and the ope with his hat on; the Pore in his chair and the Pope in his carriage ; heope with a stern look and the Pope with 8 smile; and, most curious of sll, the Pope in his private prayers, (Laughter) Such Romans aa were not directiy connected with the Papal Court seemed to keep aloof from ail support of Government.Une might read in the sullen- mess of their countenances that they felt it & Misgrace to be ruled by priests, and compelled to so by powers they could not defy; and the result was that one seemed to move every: where in a perilous atmosphere of suspicion, rapression, and stratagem.Pre ity itself, Honore woan abeorbed the traveller, It was the old heathen Rome, the city of their school-days and of the classic in which he meant to spauk of it, heathen, Papal, and artistic.Following this arrangement, Mr.Fraser went on 10 speak of the city, the Catacombs, and the churches.He dwelt at some length upon four of the tive ;yrent Hasilicas ; namely, St.John Lateran, St l\u2019aul's beyond the gates, St Maria Mazgiore, and St Peter's.He saw the Pope twice in St.Peter's,\u2014once on Holy \u2018Thur.duy, washing the feet of thirteen priests, in imitation of our Lord washing the feet 0 his disciples,\u2014the thirtesnth heing supposed to represent an angel who appesred miraculously to Pope Gregory the Great wheu he wan similarly employed.\u2018The whole foi med an imposing spectacle: but as the priests marched out between files of soldiers, bearing gay bouqueta in their hands, he could not help feeling indignation at such a proud caricature of the most touching lesson of humility that the Gospel contained.His second view ofthe Pope was on Easter-duy, when he was horne into St Peter's in state, to celebrate high mass, sested on a throne, and wearing his triple crown.Mr.Fraser happened to be standing quite close to the Pope, and had every oppurtunity to mark the expression of his Lenevolent but resolute countenance.The service he performed with great dignity of bearing ; and the wcene when he raised the host, and the troops and the multitude, thousands on thousands, fell on their knees, and the silver trumpet sounded th.ough the arches of St Peter's, came up to al previously- formed expec tious, an for effectiveness in a histrionic sense could bardly be surpassed.At thesame time, for any one who knew the Seriptures or the power of God, to aitach to this sort of thing ang real spiritual character, pleasing to Heaven or profitable to man, was simply out of the question.Mr.Fraser saw the Pope ut three times and three places, \u2014once sitting in the Sistine chapel, surrounded by his Cardinals to hear the Miserere.A second he st w him out of doors in his red cosch drawn by tour black horses and escorted by dragoons withdrawn swords around him.In the midst of the glistening escort sat the Pape with his red hat on, blessing the people with extended lingers.Agnin, Mr.Fraser had a aight of the Pope as he appeared on the balcony of St Peter's on Enster-duy, bé- stowing the Apotiolic blessing in the bearing of his army.What a magnificent voice his Holiness bad! On this occasion it seemeu quite to fill the grand piazza, A vast multi- (ude was assembled, composed of foreigners from all countries, of the Roman peasantry with their picturesque dresses, sud of the military.Ue (Mr.Frane: ) could understand the Pope's own people being impressed by the ceremony, but be could not understand how the British were impressed by it.It stirred in him more indignation than an other feeling of which he was conscious.He had been al considerable pains to e: plore the city and he an eye-witness of ils superstitions, Some denied that things were so bad ns but they would not bave nd taken the trouble to see of the Virgiv in the travellers was represented said so if they fu personally the adoration Church of 8t Agostino, the Santissimo Bambino, at the Santa Scala, lution dispensed during Easter.In 8t Peter's and St Maria Maggiore he saw the priests sitting in confexsional, not cuvered na they usually were, and each having & long rod in bis band, exactly like à fishing-rod.With this rod they torched the head of any person that knelt betore them, thereb giving him absolution.On Holy-Thursday an Good Friday the thing came to its climax.In St Peters he saw à Cardinal sitting for three hours and giving absolution in this style lo al the people.Not » word was spoken except in de case of one individual who whis nered into the Cardinal's esr.The rest just filed before his Eminence, kueelin down in roups of perhaps six at 8 time, ane after the Cardinal ave the magic touch, away they went, as they thought, absolved from their sins.Tie illumination of St Peter's und the great lie wok exhibition on Easter.Monday \"vero de.cribed as grand to see, bat what is to be thongbt of men who regard them as ap- propriste celebrations of the resurrection of the Son of Gud?Lhe firm conclusion at; which the lecturer had a: : saw in-Rome, wus that it was the last place in the world to go to in order to gain any true knowledge of God and bie salvation.What be saw there might be called ancient Christianity, but in the course of centuries it had become materialized, rarnalized, and corrupted.He wished no ill to any man, but he wished nothing but downfall to that system, and no true Protestant could wish anything else.They might depend upon it, if ever Christ's Christianity was to re-appear in Rome, the Pope's Christianity must fall, and all his bulls, and decreta)s, and images, and uliars, confessional boxes, and candles, and tuitres, and millivery, must perishutterly.(Applause.) Let the epistle to the Rowans be read\u2014for nobody knew it in Iome,\u2014rend in Italian in the churches and in houses, and let the Christianity that it taught be re-established in godly simplicity.How strange, indeed deplorable, tu see some linglish people of culture, and some Knglish clergy, doing nothing there but apologizing for everything in the Roman ceremonial\u2014sye, and going to kneel 10 the Pope, a thing that no man ought to do, eagerly receiving the legends of the dark sues an interesting traditions of primitive Christianity, and appa cently sighing for à recognition cf some Rd from a Church that their own articles charged with teaching blasphemous fables and dangerous deceits.\u201d He did not see Lhe same spirit amonz Americans in Rome; indeed, he was much iwpressed with the reliable character of American Pro- testuntisin, and the unreliable character of Euglish l\u2019rotestantism Mr.Fraser noticed the other noble build- ings in Rome, the Vaticau aud Quirinal pulaves, Ke.and mentioned that onee during his etsy he had seen Cardinal Antouelli, The Curdinal was not vfien visible in public, but | his face once seen could never be forgotten.His complexion was pale ohve, and he had a deep, durt, full eye, snd mulile expression, now ali that was defightul, and now ail that! was terrible and unrelenting, \u2014just the proper countenance for a subtle and unscrupulous [ta- lian.1 the homage paid to | or the degradation ; He then described the form in which any one might see ahso- Ut Rome artistic, Mr.Fraser gave & hrief sketch.In pamtings it could not be said to equal Florence, although it had in the Vatican Gallery the most admired picture in the world, the Transfizuration by Raphuel,\u2014and in! the Sistine Chapel the most famous fresco in the world, \u2014the Lust Judgment, by Michael Angelo.In statuary, however, Rome was unrivalled.The Dying Gladintor und the Apollo Belvidere were both vividly described, wud the lines of Lord Byron regarding the lat: ter were (quoted :\u2014 «The shaft hath Just haen shot\u2014the arrow bright With ap (mmortal\u2019s vengeance ; in his eye Aud nostril beautiful disdain, and might And majesty flash thelr tuli Itghinings by, Developing iu that one glace the Deity.\u201d «But enough,\u201d Mr, Fraser said in conclu- | sion, \u2018Ench day the city seems to grow upon you.There are still more and morescenes tu be seen, and the city itself, as & whole, when you carry its history in your mind, tills you with 8 certain »leru melancholy that you never feit before.What glory on the earth wis here, and what shame! What power, what slavery! What changes bas Rome seen since Homuius was there, and what a strange.sombre prospect has she now! What brave days of oki, what Itepublican patriotism, what imperial magnificence, and, ns we gee it, what a decay of men's Bpirits as well as of their forums and their palaces! Where now is any Cincinnatus, or Regulus, or Scipio, or Brutus, or Cato, or Cicero with the magic tongue?Ur even insubsequent times, Hienzi, that ill-rewarded hero?There is none\u2014 there is none.The Rome we see 14 quite Larren of greatness.No orator or hero now, no poet or Blutesinan, 0 warrior, no patriot.There was a Rome that sent out Julius Casar with his legions to conquer Gaul, snd there in a Rome that hus to submit to the Gauls, and is compeiled by French soldiers and other ; foreigners to submit to the most intolerant, ignoble, and unimproving Guvernment in the civilized world.\u2018Age thou art shamed\u2014 Rome thou hast lost thy breed of noble bloods.\u201d Shall Ilome recover a great position, and be vigorous with the life of modern times?Who cantelit That Jerusalem ir to be restored there is every reason to believe, but that Rome can ever be the capital of 8 constitutional king and kingdom, 1 confess I am not able to conceive.It seems to me à place of doom, \u2014bright with no hope, but weuring à melanchoiy halo, and going on\u2014 not going on st sll.but waiting its time\u2014 from doom to doom.\" The usual votes of thanks were awarded to the lecturer and chairman on motion of Mr.Forbes of Cullodeu, and the mesting sepa rated.\u2014 Inverness Courier.A FEMALE GAMBLING \u201cBELL\u201d IN NEW-YORK.The prevailing vice among New-Yorkers is gambling.Men gumble in stocks and gold;

§12.500 if the depth of soil on the portion mn tillage were increared to eighteen inches; and $15,000 if it were still further increnced to two feet.And L feel confident that no (brifly, enpable farmer can increase his wealth so fast by buying more land, by lending bis money, oc by investing it in nines or ntocks of any kind, as by increasing the depth of his arable soil.There may be exceptions found in locations where land is very abundant and cheap, labor dear, and products low priced ; but the general rule remains ne | have stated.And [ believe the means are now within reach whereby most American farmers can enhance the value of their arable soil to the extent of at least §100 per acre, ar a cost of not more than half that sum.Concede that, lor the present, only gardens, orchards, vineyards, &c., are likely to be thoroughly worked to any such depth as (wo feet, how great must he the increase of products thus eecureil!
