Now tbe air is heavy with rumors, many or them only too true, or disasters Impending over mer chants and ether business men ol the region.

The same strin gency which effects merchants Is felt in all other branches ol business. It is AS BAD AS A PASIC. Nobody Is able to collect money. Real estate, in which there was a very large business done last year. Is wholly Inactive. The local stock market Is depressed.

The Navy Department hat received a commu nication from Captain Queen, commanding the United States steamer Saranae, dated Acapulco, March 27, he having been ordered thither to in quire Into the circumstances attending the DEATH BY YI0LESCE OT AH AMERICAN CITIZEN. Captain Queen reports that during last fall Pro coplo C. Dlas and other residents of Acapulco, all native eitlsecs or Mexico, organised a con gregation for religious worship according to the Protestant creed. The meetings were held on Sundays and other days, In the house or Diaz, and were strictly or a private character. Dlas and some members or his flock were occasionally stoned by tbe population and otherwise annoyed, but sustained no serious damage to their persons. In December last, Rev. H. H. Hutchinson, head of tbe Presbyterian mission in Mexico, was so licited by the congregation to become their pas tor and to organise the congregation in a mora formal manner. Converts were added to tbe church, and. In all, the society numbered sixty eight persons, mostly natives of the country. Preaching took place and prayer-meetings were held at Dial's residence. They looked lora suit able residence for church purposes, and soon rented one whlcn had served as a Roman Catholic church, subsequently used by the French In vaders and afterward had been occupied as amer. cintile warehouse. THE CHAPEL WAS TORMALLT OPENED In January last, Mr. Hutchinson officiating as pastor. Alter the services, the congregation re tired without any fears of injury from their ene mies. On the 25th of that month Mr. Hutchin son did not attend tbe chapel, the services being conducted by Mr. Dlas. There were present thirty or forty members. A few minutes alter 8 o'clock In the evening, as the congregation were singing the last hymn, a disturbance was occa sioned by forty Mexicans, armed with machetes and mnskets. From the testimony adduced en the examination into the dlstnrbances only six or eight of these armed men entered the building, the others remaining outside for the purpose, It is said, of finishing the Piotestants who should at tempt to escape. The struggle In the chapel did not contlnne more tban eight minutes. Shots were fired, but the principal damage was done by the machetes. The Protestants barricaded their chapel to protect themselves from the force out side. The military commander and his aids soon reached the spot, and were directly followed by iorty soldiers from the garrison. The district judge and his secretary also appeared upon the scene, and ordered those inside to open the doors or the chapel. Tbls the Protestants relused to do until they were assured the party so ordering ware their friends. It was then ascertained, ac cording to official inquiry, that TUBES HEN Aim ONE 1V0VAS HAD CEEN KILLED and eleven men wounded Among tbe cumber killed was a eclored msn named Henry Morris, a barber, and a native of Boston. His body was fearfully mangled, his head being almost severed from the body. He had frequently been warned by bis friends not to go to tbe meetings, as there were reasons for believing that by doing so be would place his life in danger. A woman was killed by a bullet passing through her bead, and a man was fou cd In a dying condition. This man was of the attacking party, and was shot by Diaz, who was badly wounded, having received eight wounds. Captain Qnesn ssys the majority of the people of Acapulco Influenced and approved THE EXTERMINATION OP THE PROTESTANTS. He has reason to believe that tbe teaching and lofluen'e of the Roman Catholic curate instigated the assault. In his sermons he never condemned the outrage. A petition has been presented to Oereral Alvarez, the Governor of tbe State, asking for tbe expulsion or the Protestants. Nothing hss been done to bring the otfender to punishment. Any energetic steps to this end would have the effect of Increasing tbe excitement and occasioning fresh outbreaks. A formal accusation against tbe curate was pending, but there seemed no prospect of bringing him to account, owing to the present unfavorable condition of affairs. Kevenue Appointments. Wm. M. Dalglelsb has been appointed ganger for the Twenty-second district of Pennsylvania, and Daniel Moocey aod Henry R. Adee for the Second New York district. Sidney M.

The following account or the sad drowning of Cadet Midshipman Cox has been received at tbe Navy Department : U. S. Natal Academy, April 18, 1875. Sib: It was my painful duty yesterday to tele graph to the Department thatCadet Midshipman W. H. Cox had been drowned in Graveyard creek by the upsetting of the shell boat belonging to bis class.

He was pulling the bow oar and steering, and in turning the boat too quickly it was upset. Thrro of tbe boat's crew swam to tbe right bi.uk of the creek, and after vainly attempting to draw an oar from tbe boat for hit support Mr. Cox probably attempted to swim to tbe left shore, and in tbe effort may have been seized with cramp, as his body was found at tome distance from tbe boat, and he was not seen by bis companions after they struck out for tbe lata. I Inclose a copy of tbe report of his surviving comrades. Mr. Cox wss a gallant and manly laJ, much liked here, and hit death ts deeply mourned.

C, April 1J. 1S7J. ) Sir: It is the settled policy ol tbe.Govemment to induce Indiaat to Tecogclze in a practical way, at the earliest day possible, tbe Inevitable neces sities which are upon them to abandon their no madic habits, and enter upon some calling by which they may eventually become seir-support-lng. j To this end Congress has Incorporated a clause In the aet making appropriation for the Indian service for tbe present fiscal year, which requires "all able-bodied male Indians between tbe ages or eighteen and forty-fiTS' to perform service upon the reservation for the benefit of themselves or or the tribe, at a reasonable rate, to be fixed by the agent in charge, and to an amount equal In value to the supplies to be de livered." By the treaty of April lo,18oS,(StaMTol.l5, ?. 639.) Government stipulated to provide each sdlan over four years of age, who should remove to the reservation, with neat and flour for tbe term of four years after removal. That provision has now expired. Therefore, whatever supplies may hereafter be furnished tbese Indians by the Government will be in the form of a gratuity, and the Government assumes the right aod resog. nlzes the duty to so manage tbls gratuity as to make the most or It in the way of civilization and material benefit for the Indiaat. So far as practicable, therefore, yon will be ex. peettd to bring the Indians under yourcbargo into conformity with the requirements or the law above referred to. There Is mingled with b different buds of Sioux a class of persons to whom this law has special application. These are mixed bloods and white men, who, being married to Indian women at the time of the treaty or 1868, were thereby In. torpor ated Into the tribe, and those, if any, who have subsequently been adopted by tbe tribe with the content of the United 3tates Govern men. or this latter class, viz: the whites who bave Intermarried the first requirement will be that the parties claiming to be married shall go before a clergyman, or priest, or Indian agent and make acknowledgment of such marriage, unless such yartles have heretofore been formally married and be able to produce a certificate to that effect, and tech acknowledgment or certificate must be a matter of agency record. Second. All able-bodied males belonging to thlsclsss, as well as mixed bloods, must make returns in labor for any favor received from the Government by way or supplies or clothing, and you will therefore notify them, fixing the day on which this order. will go into effect, in any event cot later than June 1, that hereafter there will be no free issue or rations or goods to themselves or families, and that yon will open an account with each each person or head of a family, to whom yen will issue rations and goods only In payment or labor, and also only to tbe extent or their pro rati share. They should be encouraged to select land, and erect upon It a home, and expend la farming, fencing and other improvements sifh labor as they maybe able to perform. If toreador this, or in adoltlon to this, they shall desire to perform labor for the benefit of tbe agency or tbe tribe, tbe same kind or credit will be allowed them. You will notiry all your Indians or the change In their claims upon tbe Government for supplies by this expiration of tbe treaty stipulation, and that before long they will all of them be brought to the same requirement as Is now laid upon tbe white men and half-breeds among them, and that tberelore they will find It greatly to their lnterost to render to tbe undertaking In every possible way such efforts as will secure lor themselves a home and land for cultivation. Very respectfully, your obedient servant, .F. Smith, Commissioner. FBISHETS IK THE WEST. Travel Suspended on the Union Pacific Bail way. Omaha, April 16.

The Pell Mall Castile or April has the follow log: "An American balloonist, by name Mr. Don aids on, has informed the Soclete d'Aerostatlon, of Paris, that within three or four months he Intends crossing the Atlantic from the United States to Europe, in a balloon measuring70,OM cuble metres. Mr. Donaldson is convinced that there exists a constant current of air Is the upper strata of the terrestrial atmosphere setting at tnat season from westtoesst. He's undeterred by previous fall, ures, and has provided himself with cant of Lle blg'smeat extract, life-belts, blue lights and rockets, carrier pigeons, bottles to contain float ing messages, astronomical Instruments and flags, by means of which he can signal to vessels near which he may pass. He will probably travel alone, for the sake or lightness: and the ballast Is the balloon car will principally consist or 'fire pots' or Mr. Donaldson's own Invention, wblch are said to be tin cylinders containing a chemical sub stance which becomes Inflammable lnstantane ously upon contact with water, and emits a bril liaoiacdlocg.laaUng flame. As Mr. Donaldson is borne rapidly along eattwardhe will drop these fire-pots into the sea every ten minutes, so at eight the whole horiton, be expects, will be II. laminated, scd he will leave a fiery track behind him on tbe Atlantic. Tbe scheme sounds all the more a 'big' one, as the recent voyage orthe Zenith balloon, from Paris to the neighborhood or Bordeaux, Is the longest on record, and only occupied some sixteen hours. The balloonist Green, is all his fourteen voyages, was never Iccger In the air than three or four hours at a time. Sixteen years ago the 'Geant' balloon went up from the Champ de Mars and descended la Hanover, after six hours' sailing. Subsequently MM.

One of the most Irrepressible or modern ladles Is tbe Princess Salm-Salm. She Is personally well remembered by many In Washington who met her here during the late war. To well-defined beauty she added a dash In style that was always captivating. Her most heroic devotion to tbe ctuse of Maximilian In Mexico and to her husband won for her tbe decided admiration or the public. Uer husbsnd was killed In the Frsneo-Getman war, August, 1870. After his death she served through the remainder of tbe wares a Sister of Charity. She now bas a vol ume of memoirs in press, entitled "Ten Years of my Life," and "Appleton'a Journal" for AprlllT has a few advance theels. They Include an ac count of the wonder to which tbe "Sanetuarlo de Guadalupe" owes Its existence. Tbe Princess ssys: "In the year 1131, ten years after tbe conquest, there lived in the village of Tolpellac a newly, convened Indian, who at the font had received tbe came of Juan Diego, lie was an exemplary fellow, and went oltea to Santiago Tlalulcuclo, where the Franciscan monks gave him religious Instruction. As he, upon a time, was crossing a hill that ends Is a point wblcb extends into Lake Tezcoeo, and is called 'The Nose orthe Moun tain,' or in Spanish, 'Naroz del (Jarre, or ts the language of the aborigines, 'Tepetlyeeac gol,' he heard some music that was far more beautllul than any he had ever heard before, either among the Spaniards or h'sown people. When be. In his amazement, looked about,no saw a rainbow that was far more brilliant than he had ever berore seen. Inclosing a light, transparent cloud, in which there stood a beautllul woman, with a sweet, winning mien, dressed In the cos tume of a lady of tbe court of his lormer heathen ruler. The poor. Ignorant fellow had no Idea who she was, but he was sot afraid, and approached her, when she told him t,bat she was the Virgin Miry, and desired tbat a temple should be built on that spot and dedicated to her. She premised her protection to those who should worship In It, and bade him Inrorm the bishop of what he had seen and heard. "The bishop, Don Juan da Zumarraga, a Fran ciscan, refused to believe the story, and seat the Indian away. The Holv Virgin, however, was not to be put off. and appeared three times more to the cew convert. Being very much exercised about the matter, and yet not having the courage to go a second time to tbe bishop, he decided to aduress himself to his couressor, whom he was, moreover.deslrous to consult concerning his uncle Juan Bernardino, who was dangerously ill. "Fearlpg that tbe Virgin might appear to him again, he avoided the usual path; but, on a spat which, strangely enouzb, is still to be recognized by a smell of sulphur and a spring, the water of wblch tastes of this mineral, the appeared to him for tbe fifth time, told him that his uncle was en tirely recovered, and bade him gather some flow ers on the summit of tbe hill and carry them to the bishop as a proof tbat all he said was true. "But upon this hill thero grew, as was well known, nothing but thorns and thistles, and yet when tbe Indian reached Its summit, to hit amaze ment, he fonnd an abundance or tbe most beautl lul and sweetest-smelling flowers he had ever seen. He plucked a goodly collection of them, and went again to tne Incredulous bishop, who, when he heard what brought the Indian to him the second time, battened with several priests to meet him. Juan Diego thereupon gave as ac count or what he had seen and been commanded to do, and when he opened bis talma to show the flowers, behold! the bishop and all tbe priests fell upon their knees as though they had been struck by lightning. On the ayate or tbe blissful conveit there was sueh a picture of the Virgin as Is seen of the Saviour on the handkerchief or Saint Veronica. "Now, or course, all doubt was dispelled; the wonder was too apparent. This occurred on the 12th or December, 1531. ten years and four months after tbe conquest. What seems to me most re markable Is that the Virgin In this heavenly painting Is cot only represented in Indian cos tume, but as having Indian leatures and an In dian complexion. "When the bishop recovered from hit consterna tion, he went out to see the places that had been rendered holy by the apparition. lie took the miraculous picture, and after keeping It for a time In his own bouse, he placed it in the cathe dral. "Tbls picture wss probably painted by an angel on a fabric tbat tbe Mexican Indians weave from the fibre of an indigenous plant. The holy Virgin wears a tusle of woolen staff tbat reaches Irom her neck to her feet, and her head la covered with a mania in short, ber costume is thst of a rich Aztec lady. Tbe color ol her skin Is brown, htr ctir Is black, ber expression amiable, medest and frank. The picture is known is Mexico as the Crtele Virgin.'" Washington Names. Tbe cames In a mil directory or any elty afford many amusing thoughts andqutlnt ideas, and our own city of Wsshlngton is no exception to the rule. For instance, if we wanted a fratricide according to an old account we could afford eleven Abclls end only three Gains and oae Glubb. I we were shouting for our country we could only claim one America. Ifwe were lying Is wait for Prey, we have only three, and yet we have twelve Ambushes. If our entire copulation wasted to leave the city, we have only twenty three Cans; and if we were a traveling company, and had to stay ont all night, we should find only four Camps; and If we wanted to make a bridal present, we eould find no more than two Cakes; and ir we had to fight all tbe world, three Cham pions would be tbe extent or our list. It Is a curious fact tbat while we hare only one Apple tbereareBaldwInswlthoutnumeer. lfsud denly called on to people the skies we could contri bute no more then three Angells. We havegot,as a elty, eight Paynes and four Alkens, and lrwe wanted soup the only varieties we eould get would be three Julllens. We have flfty.seven Mills, seven Grinders and two hundred Millers. We hare fllteen -CXoyes, tnt only one Drummer, yet as infinite number of Horns. To that place from which no traveler returns -we have only one Bourne ; but If we wanted to play a game or euchre tbat would beat tbe "heathen Chinee" we bave eight Bowers ; and ir It was in our power to afflict Job once more we have got twenty-eight Boyles. To sjmpathlte with all mankind we have thirty-one Harts, and for agricultural pur poses four Plowman. To show we are civilized we number only two Barbariss, and if we want ed to get drank we hare only five Beers.bntthere it no necessity for getting those on tick-, because we have thirty-two Banks. We have any quantity of Woods to cut down, and only two Axes. We are badly off for sea men, baring only two Sailors. We hare twenty, two excellent Baits and only Are Drlnkards and one Beszette, which speaks well for tbe quality of our liquors. Cur Fish we can hardly count, and jet In all the number there Is only one Hull flsb. There it not much crime is the elty.beeause we hare only ten Ruffles. Uf poor relations we hare only three Cotsens to bother us, but for the ambi tious we bave lorty-nlne Grossts.olghteen Crowns, and only one Crowner. Little weeping here, for we have only one Cry, and she fs a widow. If overtaken In iniquity, we have three Just men to interpose In our behalf. We bare fire Shekels, owned by fourteen Itlch men, to be distributed among twelve Poor, the extent or that class, or the stormy and troublesome waves of Jordan we bavo twenty.five, and only one Shore to reach; but to get there yon must cross lour Hirers, two hundred Brooks,and twenty-fire Ponds and Pools. For all this rerrytgo there are only roar Shill ings, and yet, if advlee was necessary, we have four Sages, six Seamen, and nine Selts on whloh to lssd; bnt in dolag tbls we should have to pus over nily.seven Ultferent Waters, eight or whleh are Lavenders, and in making the passage we should have-forty Days, more or less, and when we got through there would be only one Dodman, but for him there would be six Coffins, and yet for him there would be seventeen Graves. Although a republic, we could populate tbe world with royalty, for Washlnaton boasts or two hundred Kings, but these kings have only twenty-three Queers, fourteen Princes, twenty-rour Knlgbts and six Earls, and for the proud emblem or America we bave Just one Eagle. In twelve Fields are scattered serentees Forrtsts, is wbleh there are an infinite number or Burcbes and Beaches, one Greenhouse, twenty-ono Gardners, three Flowers, DReea Plants, twenty-three Roses asd two Garlands. In precious stones we make a better show. We hare got tea Jewells, four Rings, two Pearls and fourteen Garnettr, but for paving-stones we have only one-Kuble. To afflict the entire city there is only one Crabb, and he Is scattered over ten counties... In the sports of the field and sea we are very strong. There are eleven Falconers, two Few let, jlxttcn Babbitts, on Kid, eight Pike, eight Sparrows, fifteen Lambs, six Steers, thirty-one Hartr, fourteen Doves, quite a number of Cranes, one Songster, two Bearers, twenty-one Foxes, three Bass, four Chicks, one Doe and twenty-one Birds. We hare four Saks to put them In, one Salt to season them, and two Saner weins to drink with three straight Bauers. We hare fortr-elgbt Hunters, forty-etght Fowlers, ten Fishers, ten Drivers, one Kllle, two Klllman, ten Tanners, twelve Skinners and thirteen Hydes. and to furnish the repast a countless number of Cooks. Among our women we kave Ave Dar lings and one Dowdy, and only two Darts for Cupid's use. For all the city w hare only one Pre, for the women only one Fin, and for terrific disease only eleren Pyles. For lorers there is Just one Slmtker. In all the city there is only one lllman, though three who are Sly, twenty, four Steeles, (Including the Chronicle.) To fire a salute we have Alices Cannon. But it Is In the religious sense tbat wo beat the world. Our riches In this regard have no end. We have eighteen Churches, seven Cbappells, twenty-tour Prjort, seventeen Popes, eleren Kirks, fire Churehllls. any Crosses, eighteen Crowns, three Desklns, eighteen Deans, eight Lords, one Sa cred, two Sins, one Churchman, two Romans, two Rones, twenty-flve Shepherds, two Habits for tbe Nuts, sixteen Christians, two Devises and ten Stints, one Kant and only two Bulls. This sort or pleasantry Is Interminable, but one single Idea of it proves bow from the names 01 Individuals whole histories can be written. Old and New China. Old and sew China are both objects of delight and ambition to ladles, asd not nnfrequentlr an equal taste for one or both Is discovered In gen tlemen. Chins, new and beautiful Is color asd design, Is tht pride of the housekeepers or all countries, and connoisseurs of ancient ware will endure hardships, and willingly pay Immense sums in order to obtain possession of some rare and problematically valuable article of the delicate, fragile and translucent Cblca, The best pottery known In Europe before the fifteenth century wss rude and inferior to the varieties since tnsnufactured. After the voyage of Vasco de Gsma, the first spectmeas or China and Japanese porcelain were brought to Europe by Portuguese seamen. The Chinese claim an astonishing antiquity for their china, some writers dating a knowledge of It anterior to our era. Some or the factories or China now In operation are a thousand years old. A few are nearly two thousand yearsola, and one employs nearly a million work people, and has three thousand furnaces Is constant operation. It appears that kaolin, a species of soft white earth. Is the basis or white porcelain. It Is sot found In many localities, and Its discovery near Dresden In the seventeenth century, led te the establishment or tbe first factories which pro duced the china, so long famous. A sculptor and painter or gieat skill, early la the eighteenth century was placed In charge or those works, and ever since In the manufacture of porcelain the spirit and taste cr style or the arts prevalent have been emulated. A royal patronage soon built up a rival factory of porcelain at Sevres, near Paris. Near this place kaolin was found, and at one time Adam, tbe sculptor, had charge ot these works; and under the patronage or Madame de Pompadour tl.e works rose to unrivaled skill and Importance. Bleu de Hoi, a turquoise blue, and Rose du Barry, a delicate and lucid carnation are colors produred at Sevres, and later, Joo qulllee, a beautiful yellow, and green, rert-pre, were employed as grounds. It is recorded that a pair or vases of the color Reseda Barry were bought by tbe Marquis of Hertford for XLS1310S. In 1874, at a tale in London, a set or five pieces were sold for 2.230 guineas; at the same sale arase or Bleu de Rol. oviform, painted by Mozln, brought 1,800 guineas. Atchrlstles,lnl87,three pieces of china. Rose du Barry and green, and painted by Moiin, were sold for 10,000 guineas. Such immense sums for snob perishable articles prove tbe extent to the mania for the beautiful. The celebrated Portland rase became first the property of the Duchess or Portland for 1,800 gnlneas. Dr. Johnson once became Interested is the Improvement ol china, bnt abandoned it at too expensive. To-day the wares or Englaad are most generally used, and the name of Wedge wood, and specimens of his beautiful dishes; rases, plsqces and medallions are everywhere known. A Mr. Fenwlek, late or New Castle, was possessed of a cup of porcelain, said terrave been sent to the Tower by Queen lltabeth that the Earl of Essex might take from it tse-txerament on the morning of his exeestlon. AMUSEMENTS. The "rational Theatre The German Company. This afternoon the German operatic and dra matic company-elose, in behalf of tbe good opin ion of Washington theatre-goers, an Illustrious esksgement. We wish they could -stay longer, and when they asnotrnce-thelrreturs full and appreciative audiences will greet them. JTo habitue of the theatre is is his seat for a single moment before he realises the presence of a cul tivated, thoroughly trained and artlstie com pany, asd if not even understanding thelanguage or the play he esters at once Into the enjoyment of good acting. 11 err Guitar Scheresoerg has been pronounced by his Washington admirers the Lester Wallack of Qermany, and his elegant assumptions entitle him to the distinction. "Led Astray," as played last sight, was translated Into the Oermas from Octave Feuellet ten years previous to Ita Introduction Is this country, and as rendered last night It Is certainly fuller and much more effective In detail. The troupe la composed or artists who would be esteemed as first-class In any first-class theatre in tbe country. Admirably talented and cultivated, thoroughly skilled In mannerisms, gestures and expressions, and possessing physiques facile In assumptions asd pleasing in all changes, they lelt nothing to be desired In the performance of tbe entire play. Careful and accurate or dress and association, they caused the scenes to pass with remarkable naturalness and force of repre sentation. Each role was well assigned and pre sented to the life, and each artist seemed to de serve Individual praise. This afternoon In tbe matinee "The Beautiful Uallette" and "Hannah Weeps and Hannah Laughs" will be performed. We shall look for a large house. Monday evening tbe Kellogg English Opera season commences with the perlormance of "lir nani," with tbe following east : hUvtra, niece to Duke dl Sllva, Mm.

Ford's Opera-hosse Tony Pastor. This afternoon and evening afford the last changes to hear and see Tony Pastor asd his great troupe or specialty artists. Each per formance will be made a gala one. The troupe like their patrons asd the patrons like the troupe. Between tbe two there is an extra amount of good feeling, and to-dsy It will hare Its full ex pression. Yesterday they all went on a pilgri mage to Mount Vernon. There are no further charges against Miss Bertha Foy; the river was rough on the return trip, and she settled all ber accounts, not even forgetting to leave for the herring in thePotomac the last slice of cold ham eaten at the srrine of the Father or her Country. The mother of Venus and Adonis was a little mad at the gardener because he toldlthls fine old English lady that the chestnut piantea in American sou oytne tmusn Bands of tbe Prlsce of Wales was ot slow growth. Miss Jennlo Morgan wondered at tbo. performance or some fishermen she sawrbnt Mrs. Fielding; ex plained to ber that they were letting down their sets to catch oysters. Out Williams purchased photographs of the sacred scenes, with the Inten tion ot presenting them to his friend, George Wilkes, or the Spirit of lie Tines, but he lost them In a gust, whleb blew them from the steamer out Into the river. George will feel bad. Tony Pastor, who slugs of Washington and ex hibits his picture erery night, was affected to tears as he studied the Interesting relies ol Moust Vernon and trod its classic shades. The best of friends must ptrt, and to-night we part with the troupe. They will take with them the '-cup of kindness" presented by their Washington friends. Inaugural Concert. The Inaugural concert at the newand beautiful public school building In Georgetown, on Tuesday evening next, will be necessarily fine from the great talent enlisted in the undertaking. The merits of Professors Qloetzen and Benkert are known at home asd abroad, while the singing ot Mrs. Camp, Miss Cooke, Mr. llerr asd Mr. S. G. Toursy is ever attractive to our concert-goers. It is expected that Mr. Leo. P. Wheat, or Rlcbmosd, will participate, asd the masy rrtesds or Mr. Jas. P. Cewaruln, of Richmond, will flock-to hear his Inimitable lecture on "Southern' Reoeastruetlos and tbe Hsmors or the Court-room." See adrer tltemest elsewhere. The Avenue Theatre. The stars at the Avenue are making Its stage very attractive. Miss Minnie Baker's songs and dsnees are warmly applauded, and herhasdsome appearasce adds to the pleasure derived from her efforts. M'lle Henrietta is popular with the patrons of this theatre. To-night the Mablle will be allre with the fresty of the Can-can- Next week Sillle St. ClaIr,ObxrIey-Howard, asd other sew racer.

Ladles and children are specially Invited, asd the latter will particularly enjoy the per forming dogs. The drama of the "Golden Farm er" will conclude each entertainment. Manager Rogers has powerful attractions for next week. Bishop Manning's Accession to tht Cardinal ship. The Karlk German Gazette,.ittmlng to the re cent discussion lathe English press respecting Cardinal Manning's position Is English society, devotes seme remarks to the social consequences whleh his appointment will hare, and to the ques tion raised by the introduction or a prince of the Church into the upper classes or society In Eng land. The article says the Cardinal, as a prince of the Church, would enjoy In Oatholle countries precedence over members or the families or tbe highest nobility. This, however. Is ont or the question is Protestant England, where people, of course, do sot recognise the status of a prince of the Church. The Gazette adds: Mgr. Manning has availed himself of every opportunity to ob tain a place In the upper grades or society la Eng land, asd wishes to compel It to recognize his rask is a Church which Is is Esglasd, properly ipetkfDg, only a dissenting sct. The srreat no blemen of tbe House of Lords, however, would hardly be disposed to take their places behind a Roman Cathollo prelate. The good relations whleh have hitherto existed between the Arch bishop asd the aristocracy might, therefore,, should he adhere to hit claims, become rather less trleodly. It Is even possible that the ques tion may be raised In tbe House or Commons as to whether a British subject can accept the title of Cardinal without; the consent of the Govern. ment.

DUTIES AND PREROGATIVES OF ITS HE9I3ERS Tbe Manner or Creating Cardinals Scaerlption of tbe Dresses Worn Tbe Ceremony of Instltntlon Beference to Catholics In America A Word About tbe Order of Jesuits. The following leeturewas delivered on Wednes day evening iast,berere the Carroll Institute, or this elty, by Rer. Chas, I. WJilte, D, D., pastor. of SL Matthew's church, asd at the request of nu merous patrons or the paper itls published. It will doubtless prove Interesting reading to all classes, as it gives in concise form much valuable Information on the subject discussed. "TtlB CAnOISALATIS." The eleratlenof an American prelate to theear dlnalltlc dignity Is as erent which has naturally created a sensation throughout the Catholls world, because or its novelty aod its Important significance. It Is now over three hundred and fifty years slnco the glad tidings of the Oospel were proclaimed in this western hemisphere, and until the present day the Supreme Pastor of Christendom had no Intimate adviser or member of his privy council (if I may so express it) Is this part of the world to aid bim is the government of the universal Church. The appointment of a cardinal Is, therefore, something new and extra, ordinary for the millions of people who inhabit this western continent, and when we consider the motives whleb induced It we cannot but view it as a most remarkable and Interesting event in tbe history of the American Church. In the conslstorT held on the 15th or March last the sovereign Pontiff, Plus IX. after enume rating tbe dreadful trials to which the Church Is subjected at the present time, addressed the as sembled cardinals is the following words: "In the midst, therefore, or sueh great tribulations, seeing that tbe more bitter the combat the greater thonld be the co-operation and virtue of tbe generals asd soldiers, we hare resolved to nominate te-day,for the senate of onr holy Roman Church, six eminent men, all of whom assuredly have shown themselves worthy of this honor, whether by administering their episcopal duties with a zeal, prudence, firmness and doctrine de serving cf all praise; whether by suffering THX OHIATXST FXBSZCimOIlS In delense of the Church, and giving a sigsal ex ample of virtue and courage; whether by reader. Isg is our city ot Rome zealous asd constant ser vices highly esteemed by the Apostolic See. And on this occasion it Is a subject of great joy to us to be able to give a certain asd sincere proof or the love and interest we feel for those illustrious churches from which wo have chosen and honored those prelates." From these words or the Holy Father it Is plain that the Catholic Church is tho United States has risen to a degree of Im portance asd innueo - bleb, qualifies it to as sume an equal rank wiuubo churches orthe Old World, and to furnish a delegate or representa tive fer tbe government or the Church at large. This Is the real Import of the event whleh Is at tracting so mneh attention on this side of the At- I Untie, and any Information, that will throw light npou inosuDiect oy anowrog we relations 01 tne cardinality offlce to the"Onureb, must prove In teresting. In my remarks this evening 1 shall confine myself to the more prominent questions that suggest themselves for conspiration : I. After the Soverelf s Pontiff there Is nothing higher Or uore venerable In the Church than the Sacred College or Cardinals. They, are -tho princes of the Court ol Komertht'confidentUI ad. Ttiers of the Pope; his principal coadjutors dur ing his life, and alter his death the government of the Church devolves upon them, and they are the electors by whom a successor Is chosen to fill the vacancy la the Apostolic See. They consti tute. In fact, the supreme senate or the Church. TBI T1TLT OT CARDINAL was originally given to clergymen who were at tached to particular churches In the capacity or pastors. They were distinguished by this name from other clergymen, who had no determinate place for the exeretse of their functions, but offi ciated Is different churches according to tbe order of their ecclesiastical superior. The appellation oi cardinal (whleh is derived from the Latin word Cardo, a hinge,) signified that their locality was fixed; that like a door retting upon Its hinges the respective stations to whleh they had been ap pointed, depended on them fortho benefits of reli gion. The same word was sometimes employed for the sake ol distinction among bishops asd dea cons. By a cardinal bishop was understood a pre late who was charged with the government ot a speclsl district- Cardlnaldeaeons were those who were appointed to serve mtaor churches, called deacon ries or oratories. Historians do sot agree at to the precise period when this title was first Introduced. Some contend that It was nsed as early as the year ISO, while others dste its com mencement from tbe close of tbe third eenturr. It Is certain, however, as Fleury observes, that this mode of expression wss very common under the pontificate of Gregory the Great, is the sixth century, and in general acceptation throughout the Latin Church. In the course of time It was applied particularly to clergymen who resided Is cities, asd at a still later period it became obso lete, except is tbe Church of Rome, where the primitive usages or Christianity are adhered to with a peculiar reneration. The cardinals of Rome, from the office which they exercised of Aimsa the sotksxios rosTirr Is the government of the Universal Church, soon became more elevated In dignity than bishops themselves. The episcopal order Is, doubtless, far more eminent than that of the priesthood; but the distinguished rask of a cardinal is estimated, not from the grade of the sacred order with which he Is Invested, but from the extensive powers which he enjoys as member of tbe Apos tolle See asd counselor and elector or the Pope. Thus, Eugeslss IV, In a Utter to tbe Archbishop or Canterbury, in the year 1440, alter mentioning the several prerogatives of the cardinals, con cludes that their dignity, arising from the vast jurisdiction wbleh they possess, surpasses that or patriarchs asd other bishops, whose authority Is confined within the limits of their respective ter ritories. "Who does not see," says that Illustri ous pontiff, "that the dignity of a cardinal sur passes that or as archbishop? For, while the latter Is established only for the interests of a Jiartlcular country, the former look to the nterests of Christendom at large. While the archlepltcopal authority extends only to a certain church, that of the cardinal is conjunction with the Apostolle See, has reference to all the churches; and while the car dinals are subject only to the judgment of tbe sovereign Pontiff, It Is their privilege, in union with the Pope, to sit In judgment upon patriarchs and archbishops and all other orders of the linuroa. ' At first the cardinals of Rome consisted only of fBIXSTg A3D SIAC0S6, I but subsequently the bishops of the neighboring I cities were decorated with the title and ranked among tne counselors asd asslstaats orthe Pope. They were called subsrblcan bishops, and were formerly seres Is number, viz: those of Ostia. Porto, Alba, Palxstrisa, Sablna, Frascatl asd St, Rufist; hut this last see having bees coupled with that of Porto, the number or cardinal bishops wss reduced to six. Tbat or cardinal priests and cardinal deacons has often varied. Upon the death or Clement VI, in 1342, it was resolved by the Sacred College that the number or its mem bers should not exceed twenty; Paul IV limited It to forty; afterwards Slxtus V carried it np to seventy a regulation which has been uniformly sdopted by sis successors. Each cardinal Is re quired to be in the holy order which he represents, unless he be dispensed by the toverelgs Pontiff from the observance of tbe law, which obliges him to receive the holy order befitting his rank within twelve months from the data of Els appointment, under pain of rendering his nomination rold. It generally happens, however, that most of the cardinal priests are Is ftct bishops: asd the ear dlsal deacons in the order of bishop or priest. The distinction ot the three orders of cardinals proceeds from the difference of the titles which they receive at the time or their promotion, and as the cardinals originally, as we nave observed, were only priesU or deacons attached to the ser vice of certain churches or chapels at Rome, they who are elevated to this dignity become the titu lar pastors of thoso churches or oratories, and derive from them their cardlnalltle rank. The six cardinal bishops, though they attend to the administration of their respective dioceses, are titulars of the Latersn basilic in Bome.where they reside as more Immediate counselors or the Pope. To assist the Sovereign Pontiff In the gov ernment ct TBI mtlVERS Al CHTSCH. being ose of the principal offices of the cardinal. ate, the members or the Sacred "college are re quired to remain la the city or Borne, and. they would be guilty or a grave offease ir they left ft without the papal sanction. The other most im portant duties devolving upon them eons 1st In the government of the Church when deprived of its lief pastor, and Is electing another to All the vacant chair of Peter. They aet as coadjutors of the Pope la the management or ecclesiastical af fairs, ehlefly is the Sacred Congregations, as they are called, which axe nothing else than standing committees, established at different periods, and which hare for their object to examloe the vari ous matters of business, or theological asd disci plinary qnestlons.tbat prettstthemse Ires for the consideration of the Holy see. There arena less than twenty-two of these committees, who report the result of their deliberations on any point to the Sovereign Pontiff, whose prerogative it is to give a decision. From the Important funeuoas whleh the cardinals exercise, we may readily In fer that they are selected by His Holiness who alone has authority to appoint them rrom among those ecclesiastics who are most eonsplcuout for their learning, piety and other estimable quali ties. "It U the peculiar honor or this Illustrious body," says De Joux in his "Letters on Italy' "to be Tormed or men distinguished by their tal ents, genius asd virtue, without aoy regard to natlooal considerations or to circumstances of birth and fortune. Wears not surprised, there fore, to find that even tht first princes or Europe have AtrraiD to tct diqsitt of cardinal." Sri England observes: "What. ever might be the merits or tbe talents of any other body of men, I could have no hesitation for as instant to pUee this assembly by Its side, and whether upon the ground or capacity, of expe rience, of Information, of industry or of virtue, or of all united, to claim a favorable award from every impartial and capable judge." Speaking of the Sacred College as it existed In his Ume, about thirty-fire years ago, (and wa may take hla description as usually charac teristic or this dlsilngulshed body,) he says: "Not one of Its members has been raised to tbe eardlnalate, merely because of his family great ness; he hss uniformly decorated that, at least, by his virtues. In this body are round the pro tectors of science, the patrons orthe arts, the pro moters of piety, the founders or collexes, or hos pitals and or those other institutions which alle viate the distress and promote the happiness of man. Tbe constitution of the body exulblts the sources from which Is drawn the mass of excel lence which it contains. If there be something of aristocracy Is its composition, It Is, perhaps, that species or which even a republic might, to some extent, approve. No ose is admitted by descent or hereditary claim. If dignity is c in ferred, it Is only upon the individual, and for his personal merits. It Is open equally for the son of the peasant as for the ton ol the prince. "The usual CBZ3S Or TBI CARDIHAL3 in the Papal chapel Is a red cassock, with a sine cure ot the same color, baring tassels or gold, red stockings, a rochet, (that Is, a surplice with nar row sleeves,) over which they commonly wear a eappa or ample cloak, with a large tippet ot wbltavermlne, which hangs over the shoulders and chest. The ermine Is laid aside In the sum mer season. On their head they wear a small red calotte, (ex. skull-cap,) and sometimes a square red cap, (or blretta.) In timfs of penance or-mourrmg the red robes are ehanged for others of a violet color, asdos two or three particular days tbe rose color Is used. On solemn occasions, when the Pope officiates, or wben there Is a grand procession, they all wear red shoes and mitres or .white damask silk. The cardinal bishops wear copes, tbe cardinal priests, chasubles ani the cardinal deacons dalmatics, or the color suited to the solemnity; but os days or penance tbe deacons wear ebasubles. Their dress of state, when sot engaged In sacred functions, Is tbe cas sock, the rochet, over which Is worn a manteletu, or short cloak, through whleh they put their arms, and a mozetta or tippet with a small hood, over which the cardinal bishops exhibit the chain of TBI riCTOEAL CBOS3, but not the cross Itself. .When In full Jurisdiction, that la. In the churches of their titles, or during the vacancy of tbe Holy See, tbe mantelletta is always laid aside. Cardinals promoted from any of the religious orders preserve in their robjs the pecuIUrity of color belonging to that association, and never use silk." But all wear the red hat and cap, the first or which was introduced by Innocent IV, In 1345, at the Council or Lyons. Considering the great evils wblch the Church had suffered from the wicked persecution of Frederick II, Emperor or Oermany, who went so lar In his Impiety as to declare Moses, Christ and Mahomet a trio or impostors, and to!lmbrue bis hands In the blood or the highest dignitaries or the Church, the Pope ereateda great number ot cardinals, and conferred upon them the red hat, sot only as a mark of their eminent dignity, but as an emblem ot tbe obligation tbey were under of standing firm, asd eves shedding their blood, if necessary, for tbe honor of God and the wel fare of religion. History repeats Itself. Among the cardinals just created by Plus IX" is tie noble Archbishop of Qnesen and Poses, Ledoo ho lkL who is actually a prisoner is the bands or tbe German Emperor, and who, most probably, has not yet he orthe distinguished honor con ferred upon b. -i by the Sovereign Pontiff. The red cap and blretta worn by the cardinals were instituted by Paul II in 14S4, to distinguish them from other prelates on occasDns when the bat was not used. Prior to the seventeentb cen tury the address of a cardinal, either verbally or In writing, was "Right Reverend" or "Most Illustrious;" but from the year 163), under the Pontificate of Urban VII I, it was decided that a cardinal should be addressed as "His Eminence." HOWXTXX OBJXCTIOSrABLZ the spletwyd costume and magslfleest display or the caruioals may appear to puritanical eyes, they will be regarded as sacred asd venerable by those who look to tbe eminence of their station, the important atrsUeasee or their dress, and the powerful Isflaesee-or, brilliant ceremony is affect ing the mind and elevating the soul to the author ol all grandesT aod perfection. Far rrom being; Incompatible with the spirit or humility Inculca ted by the Ssrfeur, the costume of a cardinal re minds hlmccattaallyof the weighty obligations Imposed on him, f his entire derotedness to the Interests of relitteo, and or the disposition he should have,-Mt.nly to labor lndefatlgably for the welfare f the Church, out even to sacrifice his life Uneeetaary, tirtlie cause of truth. What -Ossssano has recorded in his life or St. Charles Borromeo may with due proportion be applied to the great majority or those who are decorated with tbe purple. "He was particularly solicit ous," says this writer, "to houor the dignity or bis rank, by a constant attention to the practice or those virtues which become so high a station. In stead or being elated with the title ot cardinal, he felt himteif bound, in virtue or his elevation, to sourish in his heart a most ardent love for Ood, to be inflamed wltb zeal for the salvation of souls, and the propagation or the Catholic faith, asd to be willing at azur moment to ronniT bis lot In the eanse of religion." "ir the splendor and richness or the cardinal's appearasce In public be great," obserres Dr. England, "numbers of them hare inherited the means by which that exhibi tion is sustained, asd relsse to accept from the public purse the allowance whleh is appropriated for Its support; others would, in any state or so ciety, have by their merits obtained a similar rank; others is the midst of this external show follow In their prlrata life, the poverty and mor tification which they vowed as members or the strictest orders or religion; and If they ride in splendid carriages In Rome, for the purpose of conforming to tbe etiquette which Is so essential, they hare traversed Italy on foot, with only their breviaries in their hands, making its churches resound with the eloquence which converted the sinner and encouraged the taint." Be it said to the lasting honor ot this distinguished corps ot individuals, that few or them comparatively have proved themselves unworthy ol the high trust connected with their exalted station. Whether we look back Into the annals or history, or confine our observations to tbe present age, we shall always behold them, as a body, pre-eminent in piety, in learning. Is phllastbrupy, in seal for the honor ot religion, and the cultivation ot TBS AET8 AID SCIENCES. What names have come down to ss encircled' with a brighter halo than those or Charles Bor romeo, Peter Damlan, Bellarmln, Xlmeses, Barontus, De Berulle, D'Ossat asd a host of others T Where shall we discover more extensive erudition, more brilliant genius, more enlightened wisdom, tban In the writings of those celebrated men? Where shall we look for more eminent sssctlty, for purer benevolence, or for the more rigorous practice ol any or the virtues that can adorn the character or a mas, a Christian, or an apostle, than In tbe lives and actions of so many Illustrious cardinals 1 Without referring toasy other examples Is modern times, we have only to recall the memory or the late amiable Cheverus (first bishop of Boston, and subsequently arch bishop of Bordeaux, in France,) to form an Idea orthe high qualities to which the cardlnalltle dignity is awarded. "Who among our religious teachers," says Dr. Chaining, a distinguished Unitarian minister, "would solicit a comparison between himself and the devoted Cheverus T This good man, whose virtues and talents hare now raised htm to the high dignities in Church asd State, who sow wears Is his own country the joist honors or an archbishop asd peer, lived in the midst or ss, devoting his days asd sights asd his whole heart to tbe service of a poor and uneducated congregation. We saw htm declining, in a great degree, the society ot the cultivated and icflsed, tbat he might be the friend of the Ignorant and friendless, leaving tbe circles of pol ished life, which he would have graced, (or the meanest hovels; bearing with a father's sym pathy the burthens and sorrows or his LABCJI 8P1BITUAI, S-AXILT; charging himself alike with their temporal and spiritual concerns, and sever discovering- by the faintest indication that he felt his fine mind de bated by bit seemingly humble office. This good man, bent on his errands of mercy, was sees is our streets ssder the most burs ingsun of summer and the fiercest storms of winter, as IT armed against the elements by the power of charity. He has left us, but not to be forgotten. He enjoys among us wbattojuchaman msst;be dearer than fame. Hit same is enriched where the great of this world are unknown. It Is pronounced with blessings, with grateful tears, with sighs for his return. In many an abode of sorrow and want." In viewing this finished character, and the numberless others that might, be presented, we are forced to acknowledge tbat the scarlet robes of a cardinal are something more than ontward thow. We cannot but believe that they are the expression of great excellence, at.well as the in signia of eminent rank, and that minds so pure, so gifted, so cultivated, as to have merited this high distinction, will honor it by the falthrul dis charge or the Important obligations whleh it im poses. These obligations are of so weighty a character that the history of the Church exhibits numerous Instances or men, rsi-isasnraTis lsax.tiso asd sssctlty, and conspicuous by their genius, literary labors; and apostolle zeal, declining, a spirit of humility, the honors orthe cardlaalsnip. Sueh were the blessed Andrew Contt, or the noble family of that same, asd a Frasctsean mosk; Vincent Ferrer and Louis of Grenada, of the order orst. Dominie the termer an apostolle preacher, powerful In word and deed; the latter one of the most Impressive writers on spirituality also, St. Francis Borgia, of the Society of Jesus, asd St, Philip fieri, of the Oratory. Others, equally distinguished for Iheir eminent qualities, accepted the eardlnalate only after a positive order from the sovereign Pontiff to do so. while some resigned that high position that they might labor for their sasetlfleatloa Is a more hum ble sphere. Amosg the former we mar mention those two illustrious Individuals, Baronlus, or the Oratory, whose annals of the Church hare won for him the title of father or ecclesiastical histo ry, and Beliarmlae, whose eontroversui writings, chiefly against the errors or the pretended Refor matios, place him In the highest rank ot modern theologians. Or the latter, we can same St. Peter Damlan, Is the 11th century, asd Is oar own times Cardinal Odesealcbl, who laid aside his purple robes in 183s, to become an humble member of tbo Society ot Jesus.
