THE JOURNAL. . FRIDAY, JANUARY 7, 1849. The State Journal of the 31st ult. says: "Mr. Kenseet was still alive last evening but his physicians entertain no hope of hisre- covery. The're is no other, case of small-pox in this city. Later. The Sentinel of the 1st inst. says: "We are pained to announce the death of Hon. Andrew Resxedt. He died at a quarter past six on Friday evening, the 31st of December. C2p0ur worthy Postmaster has erected a number of private boxes for the accommeuda tionof our business men, which are situated to be entered from the outside of the Office. They are under good locks and perfectly se cure, and will of course be immediately tak en. This arrangement, together with the use of stamps, of which every man doing business should have a supply, will enable our mer chants and others to transact their business through the Post-office without disturbing our Postmaster at unseasonable hours, Major General Quitman, withbis family,and Brigadier Gen. Shields, arrived in Washington on- the 27th ult. On the arrival of these gallant officers in Charleston, they were received with all the en thusiasm and warm-hearted hospitality for which that people are distinguished. As the guests of the State and the City, they were honored with military parades, civil and mil itary banquets, and other attentions indicative of high consideration and regard, such as should confer honor alike on the visiters and their en tertains. ' Kcmosed Recall of Gex. Scott. The Lou isville Journal of Tuesday says: It will be seen from our telegraph despatch that there was a report at Washington city on Saturday of the recall of Gen. Scott from Mexico. . The arrest, by his order, of Gen. Pillow, the pet and min ion of Tola, renders the report not very im probable. The Administration endeavored, last winter, to repay Gen. Taylor for all his victories with censure and disgrace, and no one will be surprised to find it attempting to re ward Gen. Scott after the same fashion. A bill has been introduced into the Legisla ture of Alabama, the object of which is to pre vent the separation of the families of negroes, and to exempt them from sale by legal process. A motion was made to indefinitely postpone the bill, but it was lost by a large majority. C3The Covington (Ky.) Union, a locofo co paper, speaking of Hesey Clay's great speech on the Mexican War, says : Even false as his assumptions were, he made a weak and child-like effort to sustain the cause of Mexico, and impugn his own countrv. Those who read his speech without prejudice must admit that in point of argument it is al most a total failure ill-shaped, half made up, deformed, awkward, and sijly as a monkey's To which Prentice replies : We are at some loss to decide whether the miserable thigomy thinks this, or merely says it without tiiiaking it in other words, wheth er he is a natural fool or merely a blackguard. C3"The River is rising here pretty rapidly, and from what we team from above, will again be high, but wehope nothing likesogreal a rise as the one two weeks ago. In the 43 hours pre vious Sunday evening, the River rose 7 feet at Cincinnati, and at Wheeling it had rose 20 feet and was still rising. Miscellaneous Itesis. St. Peters Church, .it Rome, cost nearly 856,000,000. A rest dence building at Quebec for the Roman Cath olic Bishop will cost, it is said, 200,000. The population of Chicago, is 1 6, 841. Out of seve en millions of Mexicans, only 450, as yet, hav been prevailed upon to fight against their coun trymen. Mask Them. The State Journal calls upon the people of this State to mark well the con duct of our Representatives in Congress, on the ereat Questions involving our interests. The Journal says: Out of the entire representation in Congress from this State, there was but one who bowed submissively to the dictation of President Polk, in his veto message, by throwing his vote against Mr. Wentworth s resolution, affirming the power m the general government to "con struct such harbors and improve such rivers as are necessary and proper for the protection of our navy and commerce,' and that man was John L. Robinson of the Rushville District. We say mark the traitorto the interests of In-j diana and the Great West. Let it be fixed up-j on his forehead that he may be known . of all men for his truckling subserviency to the man dates of a reckless Executive. And next to him, mark those who inglorious ly fled from their posts, when the issue came between theirduty to the interests of their con stituents, and their political fealty to him who' openly tramples these interests under his feet, to further the Mexican war and the ulterior plans of the slave power, and these men are W. W.Wick, Charles Cathcart, and John Pettit. And now mark those who stood up like men yes, like freemen between over-grown ar bitrary power and the clear, unquestionable lights of the West and with pleasure we re cord their names as follows: Dunn, Embree, Henley, Rockhill, and Thompson. fiad.

LATER FROM MEXICO. ; The steamship New Orleans arrived at New Orleans on the 2Sth ult., from Vera Cruz, which port she left on the 24th. We are in debted the to Mercury of the evening of the 28th for the following items of intelligence: The Free American of the 20th, announces the arrival at Yera Cruz on the ISth. of 58 wagons from Jala pa; escorted by 95 men only, under the command of Lieut. Tilghman, of the Baltimore battallion of artillery and says: "After loading the wagons with provisions and ammunition, they will return to Jalapa. The troops under Lt. Tilghman's Battery, 15 dragoons, and 50 infantry of the New jersey battalion commanded by Lieutenants Young and McDowell. It is rumored that Gen Mar shall, who is at Jalapa, will march on Orizaba, as soon as he can get the necessary ammuni tion. Padre Jarauta the known guerrilla chief, is now recruiting in that city. There are about 2,000 men in Jalapa." In the Free American of the 21st, we find the following: "This morning several persons of note arri ved in'this city from Mexico, among whom we noticed Gen. Pierce, Col. Talbot. Col. Smyth, bearer ot despatches to Washington, Mr. J. H. Peoples, editor of the American Star; Dr. Bar ton, Lieut. Lewis Dixon, late of the Alabama Volunteers, he was wounded several times in the battles of Mexico. Those gentlemen left Mexico on the 8th inst. with the train, which they left at Plan del Rio day before yesterday. We have conversed with one of those gentle men, who told us that it was bis opinion, that peace would soon be made. Gen. Pierce will leave for the States in a few days. "We had the pleasure of meeting Mr. John H. Peoples, editor of the American Star, pub lished in the city of Mexico. Mr. Peoples has been in this country since the commencement of the war. He was among the first who vol unteered to shoulder the musket when Gen. Taylor called upon Louisiana, and he was the first man who published an American newspa per iu the Republic, as well as in the city of Mexico. "Gen. Twiggs, who i3 now in command of the train which is on its way to this city, is ap pointed Governor of the Department of Vera Cruz, and will remain in command here until the arrival of Gen. Jessup. Gen. T. will then go home as Quartermaster General. "We understand that Gen. Pierce will resign his commission in the army, as soon as he ar rives in the United States. "On the 27th inst Gen. Lane with a detach ment fought the Mexicaus at a place named Matamoros, whipped them, and delivered sev eral prisoners. We have to regret the lo of Lieut. Ridgely, of the Artillery, and Asst. Adj. General to Gen. Lane." From the Free American of the 23d, we learn that Gen. Twiggs arrived in Vera Cruz on the previous day, and also the train whichhe com manded. A great many wounded officers and soldiers were in the train. We make the fol lowing extracts from the same paper: Lieut. Gordon, of the Rifle Regiment, was shot day before yesterday, near San Juan de Rio. Although twice struck by the enemy's balls, he is in a fair way of recovery. The ship Texas arrived yesterday, in six days lrom iew Orleans, having 27U recruits on board, nnder Lieut. Howard. Lieuts. Hulse, Conway ana .voociruu came passengers on the T.

The free American of the 20th says: "We had the pleasure of speaking to Lieu tenant ttawKins yesterday, lt was rumored a few days ago, that he had been killed bv the guerilleros, and we are happy to announce that he can yet kilt a tew before he dies.

O. Delta, writing from the City of Mex ico under date of the 1st ult., gives quite an interesting account of the changes which have taken place in the city of the Aztecs, since its occupation by the American troops. The fol lowing is an extract : - "Time works wonders," SQme one has said; and if any evidence of its verification were wanting, we might cite the present appearance and the situation of affairs in this famed City of the Aztecs. How very different do matters and things present themselves from what they did a few months ago. Instead of the anarchy and corruption which then reigned supreme, the tenor of all who were not the favored re cipients of the products of the then despotic tyranny and the iron rule of military authority, there is peace of mind and security of person and property, the height of human happiness. It is true the ears are saluted with the sounds of martial music, but it comes not from the armed hosts of a vain-glorious army, marching fortli to meet in deadly strife, a foe that knows no other motto than "death or victory;" it ema nates from a band of heroes, the magnanimous conquerers whose waving banuers and proud emblems are the existing evidences of the might and valor of a free people of the power originating from a free exercise of thought and right of speech, Instead of the anxiety of mind for father or brother, closed doors and win dows, and the streets deserted of everything bearing a respectable appearance, there is life and gaiety fashionably-dressed ladies and gen tlemen ridingand walking, and showing them selves off to the best advantage from balconies, every part of the city, sweet toned music finding itsway into the streets through richly colored cur tains behind which "may or may not be' some dark-eyed senorita, coquetting with a gay Lo thario. Instead of guards and sentinels, as they then were posted in subjection and force from them contributions and taxes for the support of a set of worthless an indolent hangers on the Government, there are guards to protect the people in the pursuit of life and in the en- jovment of their pleasures. Instead of Mexican castles, building in the air, we have pyramids of Americrn fame, glit tering in the sunshine of glory. We have the principles of Christianity expounded every Sun day, in the Grand Palace, by an An.erican chaplain, in the tongue of our native land. Besides these, there are other changes the "Diario Goberno" has given place to the "A merican Star;" the "North American" is now issued from where a Mexican journal formerly emanated: and the "Yankee Doodle." full of mirth and humor, pokes his comical face from behind a corner, weekly. Nor do the changes cease with these a band of negro minstrels have crowded out the Spanish operatic compa ny, gymnastic geniuses sport their heels in the air, and an American theatrical company nightly revel in the halls of the Gran Teatro Nacional. The "tigers," too, are showed off by clever gentlemen, dressed in black, for the amusement of innocent young men who have cash to spare. . The "Cafe de Independencia" has swapped off its title for that of the ''Old Kentuck Hosue." Other houses, in a like man ner have changed their cognomens, and we now have the "Eagle House," the "Lone Star House, the "St. Louis," the "Alabama," the "Veran dah," the "Merchants,", the "St. Charles," the 'New York Restaurant," the "American Eat ing Establishment," the "Shakespear Dining Saloon," the "Indian Queen," &c, &c, where everything to eat and to drink', from "pigs' feet and buttermilk" to the very best "bald face and Jamaica," are sold, all done up in the very best manner. ' But I must not forget to tell you that in these"diggins" people abhor the idea of drinking such common things as"Cob blers," "Juleps," "Rose Punches," "cocktails," &c, &c, nothing short of "a Churubusco," "an Old Chapultapec," "a Contreras," "a Bel en," or "a San Cosme,"' will satisfy the lofty ambition of our aspiring tipplers. Verily, we area great people "progressive democracy" is the spirit of the age and who cares! What will you take? To-day there was a review of the 2d Division, commanded y Gen. Twiggs, in the Plaza. Af ter the reviev they marched through a portion of the city, an what surprised many persons who looked upon them, was to see many of the companies commanded by non-commissioned officers. The battles in this valley have made dreadful havoc among the officers of the old regiments; many a good soldier has forfeited his life, and the. loss is severely felt, but if ever an occasion should again oiler, the tine appear ance of the division of "old Orizaba," and their movements and discipline, warrant the assertion that they will not be found wanting FROM THE CITY OF MEXICO. Lettee from a Mexican. The following letter,says the N. O. Delta, has been sent by an esteemed correspondent at Vera Cruz. It is written by a Mexican gentleman, and faith fully and pathetically describes the condition and feelings of the Mexicans in the capital. . Mexico, Nov. 27,1847. Mr Dear .Every time I take the pen to write to you, it recalls to my mind the days we have passed in happiness. It seems to me that I still hear the voice of those friends with whom every evening, I enioyed a few hours triends who 1 will perhaps, meet no more ! lt seems as thougn l still hear the mu sic of that charming Rosa who, alas! was a vie tim of that tewible bombardment whose hor rible crash still sounds in my ears. . The vengeance of God has fallen upon us and we must bear the heavy weight of the pun ishment we are condemned to suller. Ou countrymen have too long been in the path of crime, and now we must sutler with resigna tion the will of our God. We cannot ask when hi3 vengeance will be appeased; but still wehope! Wehope that months will note lapse before we may at the altar of his church a ie Ileum ot thanks to his Holiness 'lor his kindness in freeing us from the yoke of stranger the greatest of evils. Ave are all so thunder-struck by the late victory gained over our arms, that indeed we look upon the hanuiul ot iNortn Americans who conquered us with astonishment and respect for they are considered as the tools which the Almighty uses against us. My poor countrv men try to throw all the blame upon their offi cers, and the most eminent among these have been called "traitors !" But, my dear friend do not believe that the field of battle answers that it is a lie ! You ought to have been there, to count the brave lei lows lying here and there some pierced by five or six balls, others by the cold iron of the bayonets! There you would have seen how guilty are those who call our officers "traitors." The Government now in Queretaro (if it can be called a Government, foratpresent we have no Government,) has nominated Commission ers to meet Mr. Inst. Ihey are expected hereto-day, if they have notyetarrived, which I did not learn. But what will be the result? Can they accept the conditions which will be imposed by the United States? Will they have enough energy to cede an inch of our ter ritory? If they do, they will be called by the ignominious name of "traitors." This is not the worst: lt is rumored that Mr. Trist has been recalled by his Government, and that the powers with which he was clothed have been withdrawn from him. If this be the case, there is no possibility of peace for the present, at least. One hope the last, the last! is, that the Congress of Washington tired of victories, will withdraw its armies; at least, from a portion of our territory, and aban don to us a small space, where we will be able to breathe our last seperated from the rest of human beings. A new President has been elected Sr. Don Pedro Anaya. Will we be more happy under him than under the other President? I am afraid not. What can we do? Nothing! I fear my letter will be too long; I will there fore terminate, promising you another by the first opportunity. Your friend, J. M. S. From die Maysville Eagle of Saturday Evening THK ILL-FATED A. N. JOHNSON. One HrsDRED Lives Lost. We understood on yesterdaV that several dead bodies had been recovered from the wreck, but did not learn whether they were recognized or not. We are constrained to believe from addi tional facts that have reached us that the num ber of the lost by the explosion is greater than has generally been estimated. An intelligent gentleman gave it as his opiniou, in conversa tion with us cn yesterday, that there were 150 passengers in the cabin, and 60 on deck, be sides the officers and crew of the boat. A num ber of the passengers who have saved concur red with him in this estimate. The list of the officers and crew 34 in number we copied from the books. of the boat, and were assured by one of the officers that our list was strictly correct. If, then, the estimate of the passengers be correct, one hundred and fourteen souls were hurled unwarned into eternity by this heart rending calamity? What an awful responsi bility rests somewhere for this wholesale slaughter of human beings! Two others of the unfortunate sufferers have died, since our last issue Mr. A. Rjchardson, of Wheeling, and Mr. Robert McGowan, of Zanesville. Every attention was paid them by the Sons of Temperance, of which Order they were members, and by the eitizens gener ally. Mr. Richardson's body was properly prepared for keeping until it could reach his afflicted family. vMr. McGowan was interred yesterday evening with the honors of the Sons of Temperance. Fragments of several human bodies were jund some distance from the boat, in a corn- Id. Hardly any other circumstance could Vnish so keen an idea of this scene of horror and distress. "There is no barm," says the Rev. Mr. Mont gomery, "in smoking tobacco, except that it leads to drinking drinking to intoxication- intoxication to bile bile to indigestion in digestion to consumption consumption to death that is all." THE NEWS BY THE HIBERNIA. . From the New York Herald, of Sunday, we make the following summary of foreign intel- igence: '. ' . . - . , The steamship Hibernia, Cant. Rvrie. arriv ed at Boston at .3 o'clock Yesterdav morninor She sailed from Liverpool on the 4th inst. The British Parliament for ' some davs had been engaged with the subject of trade and the nnanciai condition ot the country. . It is ex pected that measures of a salutary character would be introduced. The state of Ireland is truly frightful. The and reeks with assassinations from one end to another. Government has nronosed a coercion bill of a very mild and moderate character. Ihe affairs of Italy are in a fair way for ad justment. The Pope has opened the new Council of State of the Vatican, and his speech 1 elicited unmixed approbation. I Ihe Washington arrived at Southampton on 1 the 3rd inst. She left this port on the 18ih ult. The Steamer Caledonia arrived out on the 29th ult. ' fFrom the Liverpool Mail, Dec. 4-. The spcculaliveviovemeut of the English Gov ernment. The opening of Parliament as far as concerns the credit of the Government and in terests of the people, has not been propitious. Her majesty's ministers treat the victims of a fatal policy, long pursued under specious dis guises, false returns and fallacious arguments, with calm indifference, if not with scornful and unjust rebuke. What they think, and others think, of the ministers themselves, as the principal authors of the calamity, we shall not here attempt to conjecture. It is clear, however, that their willingness to inquire into the effects of Peel's bill of 1844, affords-evidence that they suspect wnat they deny, and are conscious ot an error, which the cantembodiedinSir Charles Wood's consistency makes them unwilling to confess. At present they are taking shelter behind an imaginary screen. Ihey are luxuriating in a new and golden shower. Ihey tell us that the gold is coming back of England. And so it has been for the last fornight, und will prob ably continue to do so tor some weeks to come. But whence is it coming from, and under what circumstances? From parties in Germany, Prussia, Russia, and America, in or der to meet the bills which they drew upon the corn they exported to England, and which bills were dishonored m this country. The corn held in England on these foreign accounts is not now worth ten shillings in the pound of the amount originally drawn tor. Hence the necessity of remitting gold. The commercial credit of this country is now so low that a bill on the best of the surviving houses, is at pres ent literally ot no value. Ihe gold comes here as an unavoidable subsitute. Do the ministers take credit for this happy turn in affairs ? Minds constituted like that of Sir Charles Wood, are influenced by the teach ings of others a little more cunning and sordid than themselves, are certain to cling to any de lusion, the plausibility of which they admire, but the treachery of which they are unable to discover. Will Lord John have the courage to boast that his invited and encouraged influx of foreign corn he has succeeded in cheating the citizens of the United States? Will he swell at the idea that we have got possession of the breadstuff- without paying for them, and have compelled the merchants of New York to remit gold to meet the dishonored drafts? This we understand, is treated jocularly in rprtifln hicrh nnflltpr: Tha rrn l -i rotnrninir and Sir Charles Wood rejoices. This is a game "'n- m .v... ii.iu.um.,,, that two can play at, wide though be the ocean that roils between them. The Americans have been deprived of their expected prohts bv this very honorable hnan cial operation, will retailiate assure as the sun shines. As we have not paid for the corn they sent us, they will not pay for the manufuctur ed goods we have sent them. Let the manu facturerspf this country enter this "'great fact' in tneir oooks; The Queen's Speech, tf-c. On Thursday the 18th ult., the imperial Parliament assembled at Westminister. Mr. Shaw Lefevre was re elected Speaker. On Tuesday the following Royal speech was delivered by commission : "My Lords and Gentlemen : "Her majesty has ordered us to declare to you the causes which have induced her to call Par liament together at the present time. "Her majesty has seen with great concern the distress which has for some time prevailed among the commercial classes. The embar rassment of tradewere atone period aggravated by so general a feeling of distrust and of alarm, that her majesty, for the purpose of restoring confidence, authorized her ministers to recom mend to the directors of the Bank of Eng land a course of proceedings suited to such an emergency. The course might have led to an infringement of the law. "Her majesty has great satisfaction in being able to inform you that the law has not been infringed that the alarm has subsided and that the pressue on the banking and commer cial interests has been mitigated. "Theabundant harvest with which this coun try has been blessed has alleviated the evils which always accompany a want of employ ment in the manufacturing districts. Her majesty has, however, to lament the re currence of severe distress in some parts of Ireland, owing to the scarcity of the usual food of the people. "Her Majesty trusts that this distress will be materially relieved by the exertions which have been made to carry into effect the law of the last session of Parliament for the support of the destitute poor. Her majesty has learned with satisfaction that landed proprietors have taken advantage of the means placed at their disposal by the liberality of Parliament, for the improvement of land. "HerMajesry laments that in some counties of Ireland atrocious crimes have ben commit ted, and a spirit of insubordination has mani fested itself, leading to an organized resistance to legal rights. "The Lord Lieuteuant has employed, with vigor and energy, the means which the law places at his disposal to detect offenders, and to prevent the. repetition of offences. Her ma jesty feels it, however, to be her duty to her peaceable and well-disposed subjects to ask the assistance of Parliament in taking further pre cautions against the perpetration of crime in certian counties and districts of Ireland. "Her Majesty views with the deepest anx iety and interest the present condition of Ire land, and she recommends to the consideration of Parliament measures which, with due re gard to the rights of property, may advance the social condition of the people, and tend to the permanent improvement of that part of the U nited Kingdom. "Her majesty has seen with great concern the breaking out of civil war in Switzerland. "Her majesty is iii communication with her allies on this subject, and has expressed her readiness to use, in concert with them, her friendly influence for the purpose of restoring to the Swiss confederation the blessings of peace. "Her majesty looks with confidence to the minuteness of the general peace of Europe. ' "Her majesty has concluded with the Repub lic of the Equator a treaty for the suppression of the slave trade. Her majesty has given di rections that this treaty should "be laid before you. " Gentlemen of the House of Commons: ''Her majesty has given directions that the estimates for the next year should be prepared for the purpose of being laid before you. They will be framed with a careful regard to the ex igencies of the public service. 'My Lords and. Gentlemen: "Her majesty reccn.mends to the consider ation of Parliament the laws vtich regulate the navigation of the United Kingdom, with a view to asCertainwhether anv' charges ran h adopted which, without danger to our mara- time strength, may promote the commercial and colonial interests of the empire. "Her majesty has thought proper to appoint a commission to report on .the best means of improving the health of the metropolis; and her majesty recommends to your earnest attention such measures as will be laid before vou relat ing to the public health. 'Her majesty has deeply sympathised with the sufferings' which afflict the laboring class es in the manufacturing districts in Great Bri tain, ana in many parts oi Ireland, and nas ob served with admiration the patience with which these sufferings have been generally borne. . , "The distress which has lately prevailed a- raong the commercial classes has afil-cted ma ny important branches of the revenue: but her majesty trusts that the time is notdistant when, under the blessing of Divine Providence, the commerce and industry, of the United Kingdom will have resumed their wonted activity." Jtaly. Ihe movement in Italy has spread to the Island of Sardinia. A letter from Cag- iari, of the 24th ult., savs: 'The Sardinian population has been for some days in great agitation, making demon stration in favor of the Italian alliance. On the 22nd the troops were ordered to keep their barracks in order to act in case of emergency. but on the people insisting on their being left at liberty, the viceroy complied'with their de mand. Every one, men, women, and child ren, wore the national cockade; no one could venture to appear without it. This day (the a4th) a deputation, with the Archbishop at ts head, is to set out for Genoa, to ask the King to include Sardinia in the continental reform of Piedmont, and in the alliance with talv. It is supposed that Charles Alb,-rt will not refuse. Ihe city of (Jaguari sends two flags of alliance to Genoa and Turin. Upwards of 30,000 p-rsons will accompany the deputa tion to the st. atner. The last letters from Leghorn state that or- ler has been re-established. The arming of Tuscany was being pushed forward with great zeal. Switzerland. The war is at an end, We have reci'ived letters from Lausanne of the 20th ult., which state that on the previous day the canton of Valais had capitulated, and that on the morning ot the 20th the federal troops en tered the territory, and took possession of the canton without opposition. The canton of Uri has also capitulated, so that the war is now everywhere put clown, and the Sonderbund is at an end. India. The India mail from Bombay, Nov. 2, arrived in London Dec. 4, at 3 A. M. . India is now at peace, except at two points, viz: the Boiglie frontiers, and the Goonsoor country. Seinde generally continue tranquil. From the Dublin Evening Post, Nov. 30. -Italy The Pope's Speech. We have only space to refer as we do with great delight to the rational" and quiet progress of liberty in Iialv. Beside what the reader will peruse of the inaugeration of the Papal Stales, as a gen eral political council lor the anairsotthe pat rimony ot M. reter, and above all, the Pope s opening speech, we have to state, on what we might call official authority,' that the Earl of Minto, a Cabinet minister, be it remembered; nasnaci two interviews witu his liounefcs. up- on, it is stated, the affairs of the Catholic Church in Great Britain and Ireland, as well as with a view to assur-.: the Holy Father of the sympathies of the British people in his cause, and the determination of the Queen to support him against all the enemies of freedom and re ligion. The (Paris) Universe publishes a letter from Rome, of the 18th inst., giving an account of the opening of the consul ta. At 9 o'clock A. M., on the 15th, Cardinal Antonelli, president of the consulta, and Monsignor Amici, its vice president, with the twenty-four provincial deputies, arrived at the Quiriual and took thejr places in the hall of the Throne, which the Pope entered shortly afterward. His Holiness hav ing taken his seat on the throne, the president addressed to him, in concise but suitable terms in the name of all present, their homage, and the assurance that they would endeavor, by all means in their power to respond to the confi dence of their Sovereign. The Pope replied in the. following terms: "I thank you for your good intentions, and as regards the public welfare, 1 esteem them of value. It was for the public good thatsince my elevation to the pontificial throne 1 have iu accordance with the councils inspired by God, accomplished all that I could; and I , am still ready, with the assistance of God, to do all for the future, without, however, retrench ing in any degree the sovereignty of the ponti ficae, and, inasmuch as I received it full and entire from my predecessors, so shall I trans mit this sacred deposit to my successors. I have three millions of subjects and I have hitherto accomplished much to unite my "sub jects with me, and to ascertain and provide for their necessities, lt was particularly to ascer tain those wants and to provide better for the exigencies of the public service, that I have as sembled in a permanent council. It was to hear your opinions, when necessary, and to aid me in my sovereign " resolutions, in which 1 shall commit my conscience, and confer on them with the ministers of the sacred college.

His Holiness having pronounced those last words with some vivacity and some heat, stop ped a moment, and then resuming in his usual mild manner, terms: continued in the toliowingi "This warmth and those words are not ad dressed to any of you whose social education, christian and civil probity, as well as the loy alty of your sentiments and the rectitude of your intentions, have been known to me since the moment I proceeded to your election. Neither do those words apply to the majority of my subjects, for I am sure of their fidelity and their obedience, lkuow that the hearts of my subjects unite with mine in the love .of order and of concord. But there exist, unfor tunately, some persons (and though few, they still exist) who, having nothing to lose, love disturbance and revolt, and even abuse the concessions made to them. It is to those that my words are addressed, and let them well understand their signification. In the co-operation of the Deputies I see only the firm sup port of persons who, devoid of every personal interest, will labor with me, by their advice, for the public good, and who will not be ar rested by the vain language of restless men devoid of judgment. You will aid me with your wisdom that which is most useful for the security of the throne and the real happiness of my subjects." , The Cincinnati Commercial stages that about 330.00 hogs will be slaughtered at that pkee this season.
