L Saturday week, for no other reason than because
they were members of the American
party, or were suspected of sympathising with
that party. Some of them have been employed
in the yard many years, giving satisfaction
to offloers of different administrations, winning
golden opinions from them and all sorts of
people by their attention to their-work and devotion
to their duties, public and private.
Their names are Messrs. Cole, Carter, Sanderson,
Cook, Forrester, and Smoot, most, if not
all of these men, have families dependent upon
them for bread, but what care the administration
for them I Their little ones may cry for
bread, but their voice of wanting will not be
hoard by the occupant of the White House,
and if heard, would be unheeded; for the
j crime of membership with the American parj
ty is deep and damning in his eye 1 To avow
/ oneself an American, is to invite persecution,
' and the pimps and spies who do the dirty
work of men in power, are ever on tho watch
to catch an unwary word, and to tempt the
unsuspecting into an expression of opinion,
that they may inform against them, and hunt,
them, hounded on by their employers, to the
death in after years, when the history of this
administration is written and read, it will be
regarded as a light-spot upon the fair record of
America's history.

Editor " American"?Sir : As many of your readers
are firemen, probably the following description
of the new Suction Engine, just received by
the Union Fire Co., No. 2, may bo agreeable to
them.
' The Engine is a 3d clasa one, for drawing and
forcing water to the large Engine; built by John
Agnew, (the celebrated maker in Philadelphia,) of
the following dimensions. Diameter of the cylin
ders, six-and-a-half inches. Length of stroke, nine
K inches. Body built in the style generally known as
| the Philadelphia. Gallery with top-stream painted
I crimson, shaded with chocolate, picked out with
I gold and ultra marine. Running gear, Ac., light
| straw color, picked out with gold and blue. Sucking
fiberob, box, chocolate crimson, blue and gold.
. Arms polished hickory; the whole Engine mount*
ed in brass. Springs and axles, painted black and
It* lacquered. The panels and sides are decorated
with four magnificent paintings on copper by the
artist, B. H. Murray, of Philadelphia. In front is
represented Liberty unveiling a statue of Washington.
In the after panel is an emblematic
PAPISTRY EXPOSED
One of thoee startling and painful stories which
occasionally coine to Ught, to espoto the evils of
the system of the Romish Oburcn, and to afford a
momentary insight into the Mysteries of the Institutions
direoliy or indirectly connected therewith,
has recently been revealed at East Qrimstaad, In
the county of Sussex, England. The stosy in
brief is as follows:
There is a Romish or Pnseyite convent at East
(lriinstead, called St Margaret's one of the sisters
of which wju a Miss Arthur, who before her admission
had formed a friendship with Mits Scobell,
a young lady of quick imagination and strong religious
impressions, the daughter of the Rev. John
Scobell, rector of toe adjacent parish. After gaining
Miss SeobeB's confidence, it appears that Miss
Arthur opened' a correspondence with her, and
first by hints and then by open persuasion, endeavored
to persuade that young lady to enter the
convent, adding (hit Miss Hughes, the Lady Suporioress.
wanted some one to come and live with
her who bad pecuniary means, as Miss Scobell
was known to have to a large amou>it. The request
was made known to Mr. S. by his daughter,
Kill. Ka na montl * mAioa^ kin nitrmiaaSnn Tkn
father, in the course of a touching narrative, ears:?
My refusal of consent appeared to be conclusive.
Miss Marian Hughes, 8. wrote to me herself;
and this first attempt to take my daughter from
me was defeated. The next step brings me nearly
towards the close of the year 1854, when a young
female, habited in black of peculiar style, took up
her residence at the White Hart, at Lowes. I
was at that time frequently visiting a certain bedridden
paiishioner, and ao likewise was my daughter,
who had always been assiduous among the
poor. This lady, whose name was Miss Wilkin*,
called on me, and stated that at Oxford she had
heard of this person?that she had known her in
her early life?that she was desirous of visiting
her, and requested ipy consent and permission. I
said that to visit, a fellow creature in sickness and
sorrow was a duty open to every Christian. She
persisted in asking my consent as parish pri.-st;
and observing her dress and the cross, whiclftfcy a
long string of beads hungat her feet, I inquired if
she was a follower of Dr. Pusey. She confessed
her religious opinions to be in accordance with
his. I told her they were different from mine;
that I believed him to-be in error, and that it was
impossible she could visit in my name or with any
authority from me. She visited frequently this
sick person. My daughter did so also; there they
met and became acquainted, and the chain, which
had been broken, was renewed.
Finding that their efforts to induce Miss Scobell
to join the cod vent, did not progress as satisfactorily
as they could wish, a conspiracy was formed in
which a priest, the Rev. J. M. Meade, took a
prominent part, and clandestine interviews were
arranged between him and thn intended victim
during which the corruption of her mind was com5leted;
and the prieat, in connection with Miss
rearae, one of the heads of the convent, succeeded
in persuading the unhappy young lady to pay
an experimental visit to St. Margaret's, again-t
the earnest protestations of her father. This was
in August last.
In six weeks she was persuaded to become a
nun, taking the name of Sister Amy. There was
an epidemic fever. She caught it and was prostrated.
Her father visited her, medical skill triumphed,
and the immediate danger was over, and a
promise was made to Mr. S., who was then at
Brighton, but a short distance off, that if there was
any change for the worse, he should be immediately
informed. Previous to her entering the institution
she had promised her father that nothing
should tempt her to alienate her present or future
property. A change for the worse did come, an d
, for several days it was known to Mr. Neale and
Miss Greame, that she was sinking aud that there
was no hope of her recovery. But no wore
sent to her father. The lady died ou the 18th of the
month. An 9 o'clock en the night of the 12th the
medical man pronounced her dying. Still ne
message was sent At half-past five a message
was sent by railroad. At eight o'clock a telegraphic
despatch. But to neither of these would it be
Eossible for Mr. Scobell to respond in person until
ite in the afternoon. At half-past 8 she made her
will, leaving all her property to the institution,
with Mr. Neale for executor, and Miss Ore arte far
executrix. When Mr. Soebell arrived, his daughter
was dead. Mr. 8. says:?
For the first time in our lives we were introduced
to Mr. Neale. He spoke no word of sympathy,
sorrow, or regret. I expressed my wish to
have beck the remains of my child. Her said he
was executor, and Miss Greame was executrix;
that my wish was also my daughter's bat it was
not material and should not be complied with unless*
certain peculiarities of burial, which she had
agreed to and wished, and to which be thought I
should be likely to otjject, were permitted. I made
enquiries, and Mr. Neale then Droduced to me?
whose child was scarcely yet cold in death?the
model of a coffin, describing also the pall, the bier,
the method of carryiag, ana the procession of Sis-tera
of Mercy.
We cannot pursue the narativo further. The
matter appeara to hare created a profound feeling
in England, as the development of papal practice
under the garb of Anglican Churchism. It shows
too clearly the intimate connection between cxtreines
in religious faith and ecclesiastical rule, and
as such the wrong is not likely to be uuheaded.?

EUROPEAN NEWS BY THE PERSIA.
The steamer Persia arrived vt New York on
Friday, with three days' later intelligence from
Europe, bringing London dates to the 12th
instant
The monetary crisis in the north of Europe
continues unabated. All the palliatives resorted
to in Hamburg, Denmark and Sweden
hare proved unavailing.
The statement of the Chancellor of the Exchequer
in the House of Commons, that the
bank reserve of gold and notes had increased
to 8,590,000 pounds, produced a favorable impression.
especially as it is believed to have
been subsequently augmented to nearly four
million pounds, and large additions have been
made to the stock of gold in the issue department.
vne accounts irom the English manufacturing
districts are not encouraging. Many mills
have ceased working, many more arc working
Bhort time, and the recovery from the present
state of depression will probably be slow and
unsatisfactory. .The Bank of Franco has announced
a further reduction in the rate of discount
The rates hereafter will be 6, 7, and 8
per centum for bills having respectively not to
run more than 80, 60, and 90 days. The
stock of bullion in the Bank of France is
steadily on the increase; it now amounts to
nine millions sterling, and, according to the
last return of the bank, the discounts nave decreased
considerably?to the extent, it is said,
of nearly two million sterling.
A telegram from Hamburg, on the 8th inst,
announces that the Discount Bank of thcStatc
has commenced operations, its rate being 10 !
per cent I
The Prussian government has refused to lis
ten to the proposal to suspend the law which j
prohibits the circulation of foreign bank notes ,
in Prussia.
A letter from St Petcrsburgh, of the 29th,
in the Coiutitutionncl, says: The commercial
crisis begins to make itself felt here.
Several houses have already stopped payment
Active negotiations, says a Paris letter in the
Aford, are being carried on between the English
and French governments for coming to an
understanding on the subject of the principalities
before the meeting of the oonference ;
and they have already had the result of causin g
orders to be sent to the English and French
commissioners in the principalities to notify
lo the divans that the powers will not admit
the nomination of a foreign prince.

Lucknow is said to bo surrounded by 50,00
insurgents. The force at Alumbaugh, onl
three mile3 from Lucknow, though in oaa;
communication with Cawnpore, had not r<
celved a line from Lucknow for more than
month; hoavy fighting with slaughter is tx
lieved to have occurred.
The column under Brigadier Showers ha
captured Huigur, Dadree, Minond, and othe
places southwest of Delhi, securing upward
?70,000 worth of treasure.
An agent of the Nena Sahib has put himse
at the head of the mutineers of the Gwalk
contingent, and it is thought probable that h
may form a junction with the Dinapore mut
noers at Banda, or that he may march dire<
on Cnlpie.
A despatch dated Calcutta, October 81, say
communications are still difficult, and no cei
tain intelligence from Lucknow of later dal
than the 21st of October. On that day foo
