Thi Tori-: civino Comtcaiou to Amkki
cans in Komk.—The Metropolitan Beeord, the
organ ol Archbishop Hughes, of the 3d March
contains a lengthy and scry interesting letter
from Rome,dated on ihe.iuth of January,
Ivhich we make the following extracts :
Pope yesterday visited the College,said
andjKtministeied the holy sommunioa
students. Having heard of the honor
to beconferred upon their young conn
:i, many American Catholics had ex
rj a desire of also receiving communion
.is holiness—a request which was read
ily granted.
At - A. M. the Pope arrived, and. attended
by a portion of his noble guard and by the pre
, lates proi ended to the high altar,where he soon
. ommeneed the mass. Be was assisted by the
Rt. Rev. Bishop of Portland, Me.,and by the
R. lit v. Bishop of Liverpool. The time for
the communion having approached, the stu
dents of the invv collect- knelt around the
altar, and from the hands Ol the Vicar received
:h-.- blessed sagrament, The American stn
lents of the Propaganda next enjoyed the same
privilege, followed by many of the visitors,
the maj rity of whoa were Americans.
In the centre of the hall a larjre table was
spread, well laden with refreshments, solid
st once and elegant. The golden service had
len lent by the Pontiff. His Holiness having
taken his seat, tiie tine band stationed in the
orchestra struck ut>, and the least commenced.
Seated on either side of the Pope were their
Eminences Cardinals Baruabo and Oatarina,
Prefect and Eeonomo of the Prspsgaada —
Ihe company was composed ol the most dis
tinguisbed persons in Borne, residents and
strangem. Having given bis apostolic bene
diction, his Holiness now arose, and, after a
lew moments spent m securing the hoenageoc
the visitors, he was left alone with his Ameri
can children.
He immediately commenced his visit through
the establishment, and, with a ci Itical eye, ex
amining each room and corridor, he anxiously
imj mred in to the condition of everything, and
displayed a (rreat interest in thecomfort oi the
students.. At the end of one of the corridors
is placed Crawford's fine bust of that great
man—dear to the heari of every American-*
Washington. When the Pontiff' approached
it he paused a ra soeal In contemplation.—
At this instant Bishop Bacon ashed him a fu
ror for the students. "Certainly, my child,' 1
replied the Pontiff, "in the presence ol such
dignity,"and he pointed to the bust, "l can
letiise nothing."' Ami then, to the surprise
end pleasure of ths Pope, were given —to the
memory of the hero -three ringing hurrahs—
real American shouts.

A Sknsihlb Nruno.—An event has just oc
curred in Hayti, from which some of our New
England parsons and preachers who worship
Jchn Brown as a saint might take a lesson
with great propriety. We find :he following
paragraph iv the lit rue d Comnurft, published
ut Portau Prince:
We regret having received from (lonaives a
letter giving information that Mr. Gerdol,
pa*tor of that place, has formerly refused to
celebrate the memorial servioes> of the
much-honored John Brown, the priest saying
that this saint was but a slave thief. Another
priest bas been asked for, and Mr. Oerdol has
resigned his position as pastor of the commn
niiy.
New here is a sensible negro, who is intelli
gent enough to discriminate, between a saint
who deserves a crown of glory, aud a horse
thief, a slave thief and a murderer, who de
served the gallows.

TKRRiCT.E TRAttRPY AT SYRACUSE, N. Y.
A tln«hnn<t I'ninoiK Himself and Two
Hanglitrr*--1:\. itt in. ni of the Popularr,
Arc.
A tragedy of ■ most terrible nature has just
caused ihe greatest excitement at Syracuse, N.
Y. <Mi Wednesday last, Peter Tinker, who«e
wif.« bad abandoned Lira for a Dr. Searles
I'ummliiwl suicide by taking poison, after
having B*»* iwisonrd hfl two little daughters
wuli strychnine. He was fefn staggering 'n
the streets that evening from the effects of
Utttdaaam, and was carried to the Parle Hotel
by his friends, who supposed he was drunk.—
He died next morning about >J o'clockv'The
Standard baa the following particulars of this
extraordinary affair :
On taking off his boots several letters were
foundin one of his blocking*, one of whiih was
directed to his wile, and another one matea
that his two children, girls of six and eight
years ol age, would he found asleep in the Med
ical College building. As the children were
missing, considerable anxiety was felt for !heir
fate, ami Dr. Green proceeded immediately to
the College building, where, in the northeast
comer ot the lower door, a horrible sight met
the eye. The two beautiful little) children,
i.nmed Hon and Lecinda, l.iy on a mattress,
<!< nd, with the froth gathered about themnutli,
aid bearing every evidence of death from the
. -fleets of poison—supposed to he strychnine.
1 he p. ison had probably been administered by
means of an orange, and' the children hud heeh
partially la,<t out after death, as their aims
wire folded across their brea.-t-, with some care
and the bodies laid in ;i straight position. The
children were beaniin 1 and intelligent little
girls -ix and eight years of age, and had at
iended school until opts* recently.
The uewsof the finding of the bodies spread
through theci'V like wilofire, a.id hundreds
>i persons crowded to seethe bodhw. Among
the numbers who atteuihd a feeling of horror
and indignation was expressed, and nanny
threats were indulged in against l»r. Searlee,
whom some persons suppose to he responsible
tor the whole tragedy. Some of the most ex
cited ran to the <'iij- Hall, and attempted to
so aud the fire bell, hut the police interfered
and pre\euted any disturbance. The Chief oi
Police proceeded to the office of Dr. Searles
md took him into custody for the purpose of
protecting him mm any assault. He wa- ta
fcen to Ihe penitentiary by Ml own consent,
but we do noi barn that"any charge is pre
ferred ag;iin.-,t him.
This tragic affair has created 'he most in.,
tense feeling throughout the city, and much
indignation is expressed agai net certain per
sons : but we are in some don Mas to where the
blame should rest, peter Tinker was former
ly a saloon keeper, and afterwards kept the
hotel now kept by Mr. Cuddebaek. For some
lime pas: he baa been in straightened circum
stances, and he had probablj become partial
ly insane on account wl his pecuniary Eron
bles and domestic difficulties. He was always
regarded as na honest, sober, well-meaning
mm, but not over intelligent or well calcula
ted to make a good living for bis lninilv.
Tinker never confessed that Uedestroyed his
children or poisoned Dr. Searles' horse, but
yei there can lie very little doubt thathe com
mitted bo tb odencss. He was seen with the
children about 5 o'clock on Wednesday morn
ing, and must of course have poisoned them
after thai time. He persisted to the last in
Baying they were uliveand well. The room in
which the little Innocents lay when they were
found was formerly occupied by Tinker and
bis family, but ol iate had been unoccupied,
except as a store-room for a portion ot Tin
kers lurniture. A chair or two, an old desk,
and tin; mat tress and bed clothes on which
the children were lying were nearly all the
articles iv the room, it presented "a melan
choly picture of death and desolation. The
girls werefally dressed and looked very beau
tiful as they tay la death. They had evident
ly been pretty and intelligent children.
The body of the lather has been removed to
the r"om where the children were found, and
thousand.-of persons have visited thepiem
ises to look upon the sad spectacle.
The statement of the wife ot the unh ppy
-uieid- is that her husband became very poor,
nud she went to live with l»r. Searles and his
wife in oiler that her work :here might sup
ivrt her.-! If. Some time since, the second Bap
tist church, to which Mrs. Tinker belonged,
took the matter under consideration, and she
was discharged irora the church, on the charge
that she did n. t live with her husband and
will; with the church, and had attended tec*
lures on spiritualism. It may be proper here
to -rate iha: Mrs. Tinker is not and never has
been a spiritualist, and that the absurd stories
that are in circulation about spiritualism aud
Ilee-I .veare ail lalse.
Mrs. Tinker is a lady apparently about thir
ty-five years of age, with no particular pre
tensions to beauty, and apparently not very
gay. Sheisnm.h more intelligent than her
husband, and appears to feel very much de
pressed by the horrible circumstances tbatsur
round her at this time. she evidently feels
the loss of her littlegirls very keenly, although
the is not so demonstrative as some tetanies,
Mrs. Hr. Seniles, who is a very intelligent
appearing lady, indignantly spurns the idea
thai any improper intimacy existed between
her husband and Mrs. Tinker. She says she
invited Mrs. Tinker to make her house a home
from pure motives of benevolence, as she well
understood their depressed pecuniary citciun
stancea.

name of Moses McCarty, iv Jay county, Ind.,
some time in October eloped with a young
woman of the neighborhood, leaving his wife
and his eighl children totally helpless and de
pendent upon ihrnssnlTsr tor support. The
mother was almost be art-broken by ihis cruel
desertion of her husband: but she was doomed
t i trials still more severe. Soon after his depart
ure, her eldest child, Fstller Fvelme, aged In
years,was attacked wi ih the putrid sore throat,
;i malignant form ol scarlet fever, and after a
jew days of severe suffering breathed her last.
Jonas, an interesting tit'ie boy ot live sum

which soon accomplished its work, and he
was buried beside his sister. IVex: followed
Moses Wilson, the eldest by, aged twelve
years, who died on the evening of November

The Loss nr i hk HtMiAiiiAN—Halifax pa
pers of March 9d IttH that ■ numerous corps
of divers had reached the wreck of the Hun
garian, whose invsstigaUons may lead to im
portant discoveries in regard to the loss of the
vessel and the bodies of her passengers and
crew. The Halifax Journal says: "From
what we cau learn in regard to the position of
the wrecked vessel wheii last .-ecu. she must
have struck about midnight, when all but the
watch on deck were in tlnir beds, and thus
probably they perished." Of the two hundred
persons on board the Hungarian, says the
Boston Traveller, the bodies of only live or
six have been found. In regard to the others,
i t is probable that they were carried along
with the current aud driven ashore upon the
uninhabited portionsof that bleak coast, where
tbeir bones will remain to bleach, unless aa
expedition is specially sent out to gather up
the rentalu«, by this time, probably, ia most
cases unrecognizable, and bear ihem to a
common phtceof sepulture.

*ews from the Pacific-Arrival of the Call*
fornia Overland Mail.
The overland mail coach, with regular San
Francisco dates to February IT, and telegraph
ic dispatches to the IMb, reached Malloys
Station Friday.and the following is a sum
mary of the news by it:
There is not much business doing and it is
raining again. The little regular trade is done
at firmer prices. A sharp movemeut took
place iv crushed sugars yesterday, a specula
tor taking Inui to U'iiO hbls., paying from 12 *c

Dr. Chase has been tried for maliciously
adulterating the acids used at the San Fran
cisco Mint, but the jury could uot agree, and
i new trial will take'plsce.
A bill has been introduced in the Le
gislature proposing that the State assume the
Indian war debt, amounting to thte» hundred
thousand dollars, to be paid within ten years,
if the United Sta'es do not sooner provide
for it.
The resolutions asking Congress lo dissolve
the induction against the new Alnjadpn quick

Uesoiutions have been earnestly debated in
ihe Legislature instructing the Congressional
delegation ttf nee their best cxirtions agains'
the separation ot any portion of the State
from which lo form a Territory, until a ma
jority ot the people of tin- entire State have
consented to such disunion.
The Secretary ot the Pacific Railroad Con
vention ha.- sent a communication to the
lature giving a summary of the a -11011 of that
body.
The principal recommendation of ibe Con
vention is this:—That the Legisiat tires of Ore
iron and Calif each an iateraal
improvement fund, "for the purpose of building
'he Pacific If.iilrond, that, the swamp over
flowed land* within said States, and such
lands as may hereafter iie donated by them
-hall be sold for the benefit of that fund : that
the road in California -hall run from the city i
of San Francisco through the counties of Sau
.Maura, Santa Clara anil Alameda, to the city
of Stockton, and lie Continued thence toward
the eastern frontiers of the state, in such di
rection as the L'-gislnttire may direct: that the
counties traversed by tbe said road shall be
authorised to levy 'a special tax, and to
contract roads to enable them to stib
-eiibeto the capital stock thereof. That the
Legislature propose such amendments to the
constitution, to be ratified by- the people,as
will enable the State to lend her aid iv the con
struction of the road to the extent of POt injp
than 815,0uti.«W. That ihe Legislatures of
California, Oregon and Washington Territory,
cause the several pa-ses through the moun
tains lying eastward of said state? and Terri
tory to be accurately surveyed.
ilreat activity exist.- throughout the State
in mining exploration. This is attributable
to the recent discovery ofsilvermir.es in west
ern Utah. The disposition, sirne these dis
cover!' 3 -, has been to search more for silver
than g>id,and the result is thai veins ot silver
have been found in Calaveras aud Santa Cruz
counties, and in the coast range near Clear
Like.
Advices from (."arson Valley represent con
siderable emigration thither, notwithstanding
the inclement season. The milling accounts
are as glowing as ever, but Ihe speculative
spirit so cover.-- everything, that it is difficult
to arrive at tin* truth. Undoubtedly many
thousand CaUfornians will visit these mines
in the spr.ug. for the belief i hat there is au
otber ex tensii c mining region 0:1 the Ka-s'eru
-1 pc ot the Surra Nevada Mountains, 1 nai

steadily growiug iv strength. Some parlies
win; have returned from Washoe, areaanguine
enough to estimate the probable production
of silver lrom the mine- already opened at ten
millions dollars during the present year.
New discoveries of silver mines are reported
at Steamboat Springs, North of Virginia City
and Genoa, and adjacent to ths Tmckee .Mea
dows. At the Virginia mine the ore seems to
be richer as they penetrate deeper; some ore
recently taken out is estimated to yield gW,W>O
per ton. At Honey Lalo- Valley the people
tiiuik that they have struck silver ore. and
base .staked off claims for miles. A' Black I
Book, ninety miles Kast of Honey Lake Val- I

A -Snake" in tux Mexican Tukviy—A
Washington correspondent makes a revelation
which goes tar loaeeeuut t ir Mheeoid shoulder
given to the Mexican Treaty in the Senate, in
the lace of so many strong recommendations
for its latifhaiioii. The pith of this story is,
thai at the eleventh hour it wasdiscovered that
