Some weeks ago there was published an ad dress of tbe Xavier Alumni Sodality to the Pope, protesting against the occupation of Rome by the soldiers of the Florentine Government. This protest was sent to the Holy Father, and bis answer to it is now published. The following is a translation of the Papal brief. It is of peculiar interest as the first answer sent from Rome to tbe protests of the American Catholics and the Pope: PIUS P. P. IX. Beloved Children, Health and Apostolic Bene diction: We who chcrl-h with especial love associations of Catholic j oulb, and because nothing can be more acceptable and agreeable to us amid tbe great contusion of the limes aud tbe snares of the impious, tban that youth particularly should walk zealously in tbe way of tbe Lord aud tirmly adhere to Christian discipline; we coald not, I say, beloved children, read the noble declara tion of your sentiments expressed in your letter of the bth day of December last, without being moved towards you with a peculiar seutimeut of love. For both your unshaken devotion towards us and this Apostolic See, as you express It, alto gether re(uiies this of us, as well as the exalted leelingB of faith and religion b' which you ex press j our abhorrence of tne sacrilegious crimes cauiiuitted by the eueniics of truth and justice against our rights and the rights of the Apos tolic bee aud against Holy Church, condemn ing wiib merited reprobation tbe impious deeds of the tyrannical rule of thope who by aimed force and by all sorts of deceit aud fraud have trampled upon our civil power and liberty. But what especially, beloved chLdren, gives us a great esteem for j onr virtue, and gains our special praise, is jour eloquent declaration that you aid all th members of your Sodality place your honor and glory in upholding and prcsen lug firmly the principles of religion and justico which you have received by inheri tance. This noble resolution, beloved children, keep faithfully and steadfastly; for since the fouuda tlots of" social order and pros parity in every form of tuvernment, but especially in that which exists among you, are to be based evi dently on these principles; you kuow that the whole, stability, happiness, and honor of your country depend upon the same, and that no oihfc.- deserve better of It than they who strive to preserve and to promote reverently the love of juftlce, pure morality, and religion.

Li-t week there were eighteen deaths reported.. There are now 135 eases of the dWcaue. Of tLese 129 are at the hospital on lilickweli'a Island. Tbe divorcer is scattered all over the city. Fifth ave:.ne has contributed two cases and Madipou avt uue one. It is a iciiiake to cup oe that the disease is couliued to tenement- bou-o localities. It Is ''no respecter of persons," and attacks those in high as well as iboi-e in low places. Sometimes a physician is rot called to vb-it persons of wealth who are alllicted, for fear ho will betray the bid in g-j-laee, as it in known that be is liable to prose cution unless hr. registers the patient.

Duiiug his alwioe she was taken ill; a physician vas summoned and he pronounced the malady small pox. The land lady hun ied down to Dr. Morris aud Insisted Sl'ou the immediate removal of the unfortunate lady. In pite of all remonstrances, the bride was force 1 to go to the hospital. !5he conld uot gain remission elsewhere. The husband hear ing tie news came on almoit frautlc, but of course was not allowed to go to the pest bouse, l'ewas assured that bis wife, being of robust health, aid receiving every attention, was pro gresclng finely. 8u6equoutly she failed, and suddenly died, ber bnsbaud being prevented ft out visiting her or attendirg her funeral. Seveial car have M en reported in person at the Sanitary Olllce. One came into the build ing completely pitted. Dismay seized upou policemen aud clerks, who scattered la all directions, some sliding down the bannisters, tome vaulting out of the windows, and others plui glug pell-mell Into closets, and locking the doois. Finally a brave African was bribed to lead tbe sufferer to the ambulance. Patients pitted from bead to foot, and la a blaze of leier, have been known to ride in public vehicles and walk the streets to tbe hospital. It Is now impossible to avoid the danger of conta in' on. But the most horrible reflection of all is that when once seized with the small-pox the person Is at once isolated from all the world.

Efforts to AtM tho Ct, 130,000 Tax-Gar-bird Rid supprard Tralimaay. From the affidavit of Hudson C. Tamer, late Official Stenographer to tbe Legislature ot New Toik, In relation to tbe scrip dividend issued by the New York Central Railroad Company, we give the following: REAL EARNINGS OF THE CENTRA!,. Deponent further says that he has mad? ex tracts from the sworn" statements of the Nhw York Central Railroad Company to the Legisla ture of this State, which show that tbe net earnings of the road from 1858 to a tiuij shortly prior to the passage of the dividend tax were 11,697,012-21, showing exclusively that tuis dividend of 23.000.000 was not earned before the passage of the Iii lend Tax act. It also appears from the same sworn state ments that the cost of the road and equipmouts up to 1853 was 122,044,529-83, and that it amounted, according to the sworn report of lb8, to $36,007,0im 87, thus showing that the amount expended from the earnings of tbe road for that purpose was, during that period, f 14, 53,ltj7 02 thus disproving the position tken by the railroad, that thisdlvldend of 9 23, 000,00 J was used in improving the condition of the road. Deponent further says that be does not ques tion the accuracy of the following, to be found on page 42 of tbe printed report of Horace F. Claike b testimony: Q. There was a condition, I believe, in the interest certificates in regard to tbe paymeut of the dividend? A. Yes, sir; the condition was that tbe dividend thereon should be paid out of the future earnings of the road. Q- Only to be paid if the future earnings would warrant it? A. That is all. Q. nas there teen any injunction against the payment? A. Yes, sir. (J. Has the injunction been removed? A. It has not. y. Can yon state to the committee whether the road would have been able to pay the divi dend upon the interest certificates out of its earnings had the injunction not been Issued? A. They had the money. Q. I understand they were not to be paid unless the future earnings of the road war ranted ? A. That was in tbe future; they hud the money, aud it belonged to the stockholders; the money has certaluly not been earned siuce. Q. The idea was, would tho subsequent earn ings of the road since the issue of them lead you to believe that you could pay a dividend on these certificates? A. No, ir; the interest cer tificates were issued upon money then in hand. Well-regulated railroads do uot make dividend out of earnings In the future; they wait until they come. By Mr. Selkreg (J. Is there any difference or are they alike, tbe stock aud these interest certificates: tbat is, If the company declare a dividend upon their stock, do they" expect to declare a dividend of the same amount upon the interest certificates nlo ? A. Yes, sir; tbev do. (I. Then I understand that this is stock, in effect, although not in name ? A. It is not stock in e fleet, because there is no legal authority to issue stock. SOME OF COMMODORE VAXDERBILT's TESTI MONY. . The following testimony of Mr. Cornelius Vanderbilt, also taken before the committee, will be found interesting ns expressive of bis views regarding the "pool:" By Mr. Vanderbilt We made a drive at them fellows (the Pennsylvania Central Railroad) two or three weeks tio;o. .They kept cutting down and cheating all the time. " "My God 1" I says, "when yon get down again low enough, stay there." Did you see h jw they bettan to halloo ? The reason why I bought Erie was, tbeio was a lot of people in tbe street that called themselves my f'ieuds, came up to me and pressed me very hard to go in with them. It is altogether out of my line. "D n your pools 1 I don't know anything about it anyhow," but I declined going fn tbe pools. I sajs, "If you waut me to help you, I will." I bad some loose money. "If you want me to help you along with your Erie I will help you along." And they got me engaged in it, aud I bought a pretty large amount of Eric, but on no such idea as ever taking possession of the Erie Road not the slightest ! I held the stock until the Erie war w as pretty much all over uutll tliey got lawsuits and got them settled aud everything about them and then I sold my stock. Tbey are Bneing me for the stock I sold them at 70: Tbat 1b Mr. Fisk. Q. Has be sued you? A. Yes, eir. Q. I beard it was withdrawn ! A. It may be, but I have no knowledge of it. I never bad the slightest desire; d n it! Never had time to. It is too big a thing ! It was very sudden and by the solicitation of our Bret-rate people down town, and in the country too, that I bad any thing to do with the pool WAR OF THE LAMPLIGHTERS. Navel ConteniloD la nt. I.oula Operations of I be II otlle Korrri, The St. Louis Republican of Friday says: The lamp-Hunting difficulty remains unad justed. Tbe fact that Mr. Dunn and Mr. Zider, tbe two contractors, have a force of lamp-lighters in service, ensures the lighting of the lamps, even if some collisions occur. Last night Mr. Zider's men commenced work, while Mr. Dunn s brigede continued their regular operations The lamiH were lighted with unusual promp itule, tut Mr. Zlder claims his competitor started boys at tbe w orb a quarter of au hour before the proper lime. In most instances there were two iighters for each lamp. Some of the Zider bors p.t buit by being knocked on the legs by the bidders of their ilvals. All the lamps being light. , of course there was no further cause (or difficulty until the hour for extiuqulshlug arrived. Then, however, Mr. Zlder states be touni the boys of Mr. Dunn Lad withdrawn, and so the work was done by the ne -v hands. It was more than usually laborious, for it is averred lu some localities lamps were frequently relighted and bad to be as lrequeutly put out. It was reported yesterday that Mr. Dnnn, con sidering himself Interfered" itb, had determined to withdraw his men until the validity of his contract bad been determined in court, which it Is expected will be done to-day.

The Chicago Tribune of the 3d Inst, says: A terrible accident occurred in the West Divi sion ot the city, late yesterday afternoon, result ing lu the iusiaut death of two men, and fear fully crushli jr another. Mr. Angus Martin had just raiced bis boue, located at No. 348 Hub bard street, one story, and the blocks upon which it rested had, it was supposed, been se curely arranged. Himself and two carpenters who lived with him, named Joseph Smith and William Spiers, were at work in the basement, when a sudden wind, almost like a hurricane, came p, aud fairly lifted the bouse from its fnui'datioii. The blocks tumbled over instantly, and with a teriible crush the building came down upon the beads of the nnfortunate men. Spiers and uilth were ki'led instantly. The former's neck was broken, bis bead crashed, bis legs broken, and bis body otherwise horribly mutilated. Ood band was piessed against his face, leading to the inference that be had attempted to shield him self from the fate which ne bad no poer to aveit. The neck, arms, and legs of Smith were broken, bis ribs fractured, and his body otherwise mangled. His arms were folded over bis head as though be, too, bad endeavored to protect bimsell frcm tbe danger which threatened. Mr. Martin w a saved from death in a miraculous mauner. It happeued that a lame limber fell by bis side, thus protecting him from the weight of the other timbers. As it was, several of his ribs were broken, both legs severely brnised, aud it is thought bis spinal column Is Injured. An inquest was held this morning, tne jury rendering a verdict in accordance with the above, facts, with the further statement that tke accident wus the result of carelessness, In not having the bouse properly braced.

The wharf of tbe Pacific Mall Steamship Com pany, New York, on Saturday afternoon pre sented a curious aud somewhat unusual spec tacle The steamship Ocean Queen was to sail for Magdalena Bay, in Lower California, with four hundred colonists, consisting of men, women, and children, of various nationalities, Who are going.to settle In Lower California. A large concourse of the friends of the de parting emigrants and others attracted by ca llosity were gathered about tbe wharf, the scene lemiuding one of the early days of the California gold excitement. Many. of the emi grants are Swedes and German, nearly alt yem g and able-bodied men aud women. 1 he purpose of thet-e colonists in going to the hitherto almost unexplored regions of Lower Call h rn la is to gather an article of moss or "orchilla," which is a substitute tor the much more expensive "cochineal" used for dyeing purposes, the "orchilla" making a beautiful blntish red dye, called by the French Magenta. The employers of the colonists in tills enterprise are Messrs. Joseph Valdirah, Joseph A. Kuhira, and Moli-es Pucb, a wealley firm in Guayaquil, Eucador. Mr. Pitch is the only member of the firm in America, and has had personal super vision of the whole shipment of tbe emigrants, ai d accompanied them on their voyage. Mr. Pucb left Guayaquil on the (Hh of last Angnst in his brlgVenetia in search of some locality where orcbdla conld be found. In Lower California be fonnd the object of his search in immense quantities. He traversed the whole country, which he describes as one of tbe most delightful aud fertile in tbe world, and abounding in fruits, game, and wild cattle Mr. Pucb at once made a contract with the Lower California Company for the exclusive right to gather and export this orchilla. He then spent some weeks in New York, employing men to go there for tbta purpose. He desires to employ altogether about 8000 men, women, aud children, the first instalment of 400 having safely tot off ou Saturday. Mr. Preh binds himself to pay to each colonist whom he employs from $15 to $25 per month, according to capacity, with board and lodging. He also advances the passage-money (HO).whlch is to be deducted from their wages. In addition to this, 1C0 acres of lai d is promised to each colonist who remains six months.
