Never was such an excite ment produced hero in the ecclesiastical circle in the Immediate Interest of the Court, as when the Allyeuuitie Zitunj made its appearauce with twenty one canons or schemata of the category he ecclcsia. How lu the world did such a precious document slip ont of the pocket of a bishop into that of a German correspon dent? For we are not to suppose for a moment that any bishop could or would willingly com municate what he had sworn to keep secret to the typographic trumpet of fame. It 1b rumored that some venerable father, re posing for a few minutes in one of the lateral apartments adjoining the Council Hall, put own bis bundle of schemata inadvertently, and on recollecting them subsequently found that they had disappeared from the spot on which be had left them. It is said that Archbishop Darboy complained of bavin? lost the manu script of his speech immediately after com pleting his oration. It is hinted that there may be such a contingency as a bishop letting a bundle of papers fall designedly among a crowd of curious spectators, aud it is sug gested that among 1800 theologians, who con stantly attend tho fathers ol the council, and know everything they think, say, and do, there may chance to be one or two who do not so etrietlv adhere to tho obligations of secrecy as the Supreme Pontiff has inculcated. But the fact is undeniable that documents relating to the council have got abroad before they have been yet decided on by that assembly, and as the same indiscretion was committed repeatedly, and repeatedly complained of during the Council of Trent, it is to be presumed that human nature has not changed in the lapse of three hundred years, and that the curiosity of the majority will prevail over the reticence of the minority. The great event here, in a political sense, has been the declaration of the French Ambassador to Cardinal Antonelli of his Government's ln toniinn to withdraw the French troops from the Pope's dominions in case of tho declaration of his personal infallibility. This announcement took place at tho beginning of this month, nnd it was a singular coincidence that immediately afterwards, in its number for the 5th of Febru ary, tho Cinilta CWtoiira published a leading article, entitled tho "Sham Politician aud the Council," containing the following re markable expressions: "Violence is not to be resorted to by tho State in Catholic coun tries to counteract any pretended injuries which might be lulllcted by tho (Ecumenical Council with its dogmatic or disciplinarian definitions. If such means were to be adopted tho Stato would certainly damage the Church much, but it would destroy itself. The Church, however, would soon recover its equilibrium, but the Btate would plunge into a hopeless abyss. This fact we think that Governments understand well, and therefore we are convinced that they will not give ear to subtle counsellors of expe dients which would conduct them to infallible ruin." Directly after the publication of this article the ephemeral attempt at barricade revolution in Paris took place, as if to confirm tho predic tion of tho Jesuits' periodical, and tho French embassy was dosed on Tuesday evening, the weekly reception night. Perhaps this latter circumstance was only indicative of a want of repose alter the great ball on Saturday night, which was attended by eight hundred persons; but the friends of the Papal Government con sidered tho French Emperor and his ambassador here as baviug Incurred divine vengeance for Insulting the Church. DISASTER. How th ailmlaalppl wa f.iMt The JWory of CPIIO , RD us i nvrni The St. Louis Democrat of Saturday has tho following: Tho tale Is simply told, and la Interesting, although since the event nearly ono week has elapsed. Only particulars of the most moagro description reached this city until now.owing In part to the fact that but ono person who was on board, as far as we know, has yet reached this city. His name is John A. McDonough, and his statement is contained in what follows: On Monday last, between 1 and 3 o'clock in the morning, the Mississippi, bound hence to New Orleans, loaded to her guards, turned her bead to tho shore at Waterproof landing to attend to some business. .She struck a stump, but the concussion M as so slight that it seems no ono on board noticed It. Tho hands were la the act of rolling out the freight for that point, no one on board being aware of the disaster that was rapidly hie wing, when, tho engineer's atten tion being arrested bv soma unusual Indications, he made a rapid exploration aud announced in the proper quarter, that the boat was in a sink in? condition. The mate, realizing instantly the danger of the situation, with tho assistance of Messrs. Cook, Crelghton, and John Langlois, clerks of the doomed steamer, rapidly, but quietly nnd calmly, proceeded to the apartments of the ladies limb, UUU IUO lliou vuulu nuuwiuguw wuu wr dered all to nrcnare to go ashore. As usual In these dreadful affairs, some of the women, and some of tho men, became excited, and ran hurriedly through the cabins in their lightest attire; but a paulc was nipped In the bud by the coolness and determination of tho mate, whose example Inspired thorn with cour age, and at his request they returned to their rooms and clothed themselves before abandon ing the steamer. A VKUTINO A CONKI.AGRATIOW C ATTAIN O'NEAL'S PKE8KNCB OK MINU. We retcr with pleasure also to the conduct of Captain James O'Neal, commander of the Mis sissippi, lie was among the first in whose mind was instantly conceived a plan of action for the safety of life and property. Should the stoves In the cabins bo overturned, the cabin would be fired, as in the recent caso of the Kin ma, and there would be horrors to relate to make the heart sick. "I'll prevent that," said Captain O'Neal. So tho firos lu the stoves were drenched out and not too soon. OETTI.NO AWIOKE EiClTINO SCENE. 'Hardly were these fires extinguished, and every living soul but one man taken off the boat, and all happily safe and sound on the bank, when the boat, which had been careen ing, rave a heavy lurch, tending the chimneys ever board. At the same time, tho strong hawser attach ing her to the shore snapped like packthread, and she fell out from the bank abont one hun dred yards. Into very deep water. It was then seen that she was capsizing. The cabin slid olf, and floated away la the current, which is very powerful there; and the hull turned over and sank in eighty or ninety feet water, about two hundred yards from shore. THE KAKUOWE8T ESCAPE. The man who did not get off with the others was the barkeeper. He was asleep; and In the hurry to escape he was badly cut in breaking a passage through a glass door or window. Ho escaped from a watery grave with the assist ance of othois. A 11EK01C "SAILOR MA." Sailor man Is the cognomen by which is known that facto.um on Western steamers who knows a good deal about "splicing," etc., and attends to th repairs of tho rigging, tarpaulins, etc. He of tho Mississippi Is a hero. This bold "sailor man" isoue of tho coolest creature afloat or ashore. As he was not In much of a hurry in fact, never is he staid on board perhaps longer than was necessary, and at last jumped Into the river. Ho was seen swimming leisurely towards tho shore by a party in the yawl. Tho yawl "made" for him "with a will," but he lei surely turned his face towards It aud said, in answer to the earnest request to come aboard, ''Never mind me; go back as fast as you can to the boat. .Maybe there's somebody drowning. I'll get ashore. Go back; go back." GOOD OKPRR. Mr. McDonough says: "I have been on three wrecks, and never saw so much presence of mind. The olllcers, tho crew, the passengers, and jlie ladies as much as any, after a few mo ments, became as calm and worked as calmly as if at home. Everything went off iu good order, except the steamer and her cargo. Nearly all the baggage was saved. There were altogether but !W head of stork on board." Tho Virginia, bound from Louisville to New Orleans, came along at 8 A. M. on Monday, and took away for New Orleans all who wanted to go. I!Li:.NER STILL AGAIN. l.OWUY'N KIKTII LETT Kit.

Hariushcko, March S Dear Deacon Berg ncr: The conclusion of my letter this morning was perhaps a little severe. This, however, you must attribute to the reckless manner in which you have prostituted the Legislature, and, by a reluctant division of the spoils, secured the assistance of some of your political opponents. You have almost, if not quite, established the doctrine of total depravity. I write this on Saturday evening, eo that you may not be disap pointed in mydaily evidence of devotion for you. I have further evidence from the Auditor-General's ollice, to which I now call your special attention. It has been the custom in this State, and I believe nearly all tlM States, for members of the Senate and Housc of Representatives to put their names upon their letters and documents which are deposited in the Post Office by the Messenger, and for the Postmaster to put on the necessary stamps and charge it to the State. This practice has been In force in this Common wealth until the present session, we discovered, that the Stato was being largely defrauded by you, and at very great inconvenience and daily annoyance to ourselves we changed the law. Our reasons for doing so you already know, and the public will find in tho following statement taken from tho books ol tho Auditor-General, in 180S you, the Postmaster ut Harrisburg, swore that you had put postage stamps on mail matter for the ceuaie ana liouse oi ueprcscniatives, vul gar fractions omitted, to tho amount of l5,rJ'.l. In the year 18114 the amount of your account against the State reached tho haudsome little sum of to the correctness of which you made oath. In 1805 you were removed from tho Eost ollice by Andrew Johnson, which deed on is part was perhaps the best ho performed dur ing his litiui and unsatisiactory administration. ( icncral Simon Cameron, in an evil hour for his own fame, and in direct opposition to the wishes of the citizens ot this city, and against the pro test of the Republican party here, had you rein stated In ollice and a brave soldier removed to give you possession. Accoruiug to iuo recoru now oeiore me, your account against the State the first year after you . i. i. ,.f u m,. 1 .1 IOU1V VIJUIU VI tUU bllU BCCUUU 11UIO amounted to the enormous sum of tJ0,0?J. Stand up. Deacon George, and tell the people that, in 1802, you used postage Btanips for the Legislature amounting to $15,1951; in 18(11 you advanced to the sum of $3,3D2, and that after a short absence from ollice you agam took posses sion and made a forced march up to the sum of ,072, w hen the Legislature wisely took tho matter out of your bands, having become alarmed at your dexterity and facility In In creasing the charges against the State, without any increase In the quantity of mall matter sent ofL Give the people aa estimate of the amount to which you would have increased those ex penses had the Legislature not taken the alarm and relieved you from the opportunity. With no increase In postage, with no more letters and documents sent off requiring stamps In lKGfl than in 1802, and perhaps not as many, we lind under the judicious and skilful manage ment of the pious Deacon an increase in the sum paid in 18)1J over that paid in 1802 of f 13,873 bear In mind, my worthy friend, that whenever the Legislature becomes uneasy, or disturbed, or alarmed at anything you do, no matter what It is, there must be great danger, and som s stu pendous, overwhelming delect and deficiency somewhere. I see from your paper of the 4th instant that your tranquillity has been disturbed. You make a feeble aud abortive effort to ridi cule me, without attempting to reply to a single charge that I make against you. 1 may refer to this article again, but my object at present is to propound to you some interesting interroga tories, and let the people see whether you will answer them direct or not, or resort to ridicule. Question 1. After you had been reappointed to the Post Ollice, and after the blue postage stamps had been issued several months, how many red stamps did you sell to the people of Harrisburg, and what was the amount you re ceived ? Question 2. When you went into the office the second time, how many red postage stamps bad you on hand, and as the General Post Ollice was not Issuing any. and had not for several months, where and from whom did you obtain tho same .' Question 3. When the opposition of Mio people of this city, and tho clamor which they raised against the selling of the old red postage stamps, forced you to stop, did you not send the remain der of what you bad on hand to Philadelphia or some other locality for sale, and what amount did you receive for the same ? Question 4. Were these rod stamps, which you must have held for over three years, included In the bill you presented against tho State In 1801 for I2:i,392, which you alleged you had furnished to the Legislature in postage stamps to send off their letters and documents 'I Question 5. If theso stamps were Included In the aforesaid bill, please state your reasons for not returning them to the Stato Treasury ? Will yon answer the above Interrogatories ? That's the question. No dodging. A (rain, re.fnrrlnir to vour liaDBr of the 4th. TOU say: "lie (Lowry) has Imposed on his constitu ents continually uy me puimcuuoii iu iuo jjw latiee Jlecord of speeches which he could not comnose and never delivered." 1 never wrote a letter or dictated one, made a speech or dictated it, that any intelligent man or woman In my district could not at once point to the author. My atlllction, which you have so often gloated over in your paper, requires we to employ an amanuensis. 8uch statements do not and cannot injure mo, but It In a source of pain ( ann regrci inai even vu, it-uuii ttuurgu, ic eo lost to every moral sensibility, so destitute of all shame, all virtue, and all truth, as to utter such a falsehood. Suppose tho statement yon make was true, what then ? You have charged the State fifteen dollurs a page, nnd sworn to the truthfulness of J'our account, and received yonr pay therefor, or forged and bogus and fraudulent speeches, thus making yourself as great a rascal as I have ever charged you with being. If there Is any one thing which is better known to my con stituents than another, It Is that my speeches and writings father themselves. They are as legitimate and unmistakable as my own pocu liai ities and image arc in the children and grand children whose hearts you delight to wound by advertising with a scornful month, In yonr hell-born and hell-hound paper, tho brain softening and dementing process which you say Is now going on within In consoqueneo of tho physical misfortune of a father and grand father. Yon, George, are a profossor of religion. You belong to a Christian Chnreh and hand around the bag for tho collection on the Sabbath d iv, and yet you aro watched even in tho discharge of this pious duty. As good a man as there is in this city, and as high in the Church, told me so. Is it possible, Deacon, that your brethren In the Church aro afraid that you would "with ono hand put a penny in the urn of poverty and with tho other take a shilling out ?" This Is my fifth letter to you. In my next I will make, If possiblo. developments more attoundlug, from official records, than any ttiot have preceded it. Faithfully, Morrow B. Lowht. WAR'S WRISKLED FRONT. The President's father attain on hln Monde 'Yon IMrly Kebcl Democrat, What Itld Vou Do Hint For ?" The Cincinnati Commercial says: About three days before Jesso It. Grant left for Washington to sco about his confirmation as Postmaster of Coviugton, and variouB other im portant matters concerning the olliccs in this vicinit', including the Newport Postmastership, Mr. John Marshall, a well-known business man of Covington, at t rcscnt freight agent in this city for several railroads leading out of Cincin nati, addressed a letter to Senator Drase, at tho capital, in reference to the Covington Post Ollice. The letter was very short. It merely stated that out of the thirty thousand people who com pose the population of tint city, not more than thirty (and they all olllce-holders or ollice -seekers) desired Jesse It. Grant to be postmaster of that place; that, in behalf of tho people of Covington, ho protested against the confirma tion by the Senate of Father Grant, and hoped Senator Drake would uso his influence to have him rejected. Father Grant bad not been in Washington an hour wheu this epistle was placed in bis hands by some one, and he waxed very wroth thereat. Ho vowed that If he over got back to Covington he would thrash the writer of it. Jesso has been at homo ubout a week, keeping quiet until news of his confirmation was received. Tho glad tidings came on Wednesday, and on Thursday be sallied forth to hunt up John Marshall. Meeting on Madison street his old friend V quire A. J. Francis the 'Squire is one of the old friends of tho family that has never been ap pointed to ollice he inquired where Mr. Mar shall lived. The jolly magistrate directed him to the corner of Eighth and Saott, but iu a moment seeing tho object of his search on the opposite side of the street, escorted Mr. Grant over and introduced him to Mr. Mashall in front of the hatter's store. The following highly in teresting conversation then took place, 'Squire Francis having modestly retired: Mr. Grant Are you tho Marshall that wrote a letter to Senator Drake about me? Mr. Marshall (smiling) I wrote a letter some time ago to Senator Drake, protesting against your confirmation as Postmaster of Covington. Mr. Grant (nervous and excited, and clutching his cane) You dirty Kcuol Democrat, what did you do that for? Mr. Marshall (coloring somewhat) I want you to understand, Mr. Grant, that 1 am no ltebcl, or Democrat either. Mr. Grant They told mo in Washington you were a Rebel Democrat. Mr. Marshall Nobody told you that unless John S. Nixon did. I never voted for but one Democrat in my lite, and that was Judge Kinkead. Mr. Grant And you think I am not fit for Postmaster of Covington ? Mr. Marshall I said nothing In my letter about your fituess or unfitness for tho position; but you well know, Mr. Graul, that a very small number of people in this city desire to see you en joying that lucrative office. Mr. Grant I suppose yon would like, to have the place yourself. Mr. Marshall I should not object to It. Mr. Grant I have saved to the Government, since I have been Postmaster of Coviugton, 15000. Mr. Marshall Yes, I suppose you have; but It has been done by your hiring clerks at star vation wages, when tho department at Wash ington allows all postmasters a liberal amount for clerk hire. With all your boasts about economy and saving money for tho Government I notice you never declined an increase of your own salary. Mr. Grant You are a pretty Republican to be writing such letters as that auout me. Mr. Marshall I claim the privilege of wrltinc what I please, so that it Is the truth, and I will do it, even though it concerns tho President's father, or tho President himself. Mr. Grant, I do not wish to converse any further on this sub ject. Good day. The parties tnen Boparaieu. ramer tirant probably thought that inasmuch as he had been unanimously confirmed, bo could afford to let Marshall go without the promised thrashing. Juvenile Mulclde. Wo put upon record another instance of juve nile suicide. At Davenport, Iowa, receutly, Henry Van Evena, aged nineteen, a pupil at the High School, drowned himself in tho river. Ho said in a note left for his mother: "The earth Is hard and cold, and has no attractions for me." Tho value of these cases Is like the value of cases of hydrophobia In children. They prove a distinct suicidal propensity, mainly inde- Ecudenl of mental motive, in suicide, just as the ydrophobla In an infant precludes the possi bility of an overwrought Imagination, aud de monstrates actual physical phenomena: and they should render parents watchful, especially when there is a complication of epilepsy. Col Ion Hpeculatoro Comlos to Grief. A special correspondent of the Atlanta Connti tulion, writing from Memphis, Tennessee, says: "Forty cotton speculators, more or less lame ducks went limping about tho streets yoster doy.

Quito an excitement was occasioned here on Saturday evening last by the burning of a large frame hotel, known as National Hall, situated at the head of Moore Ftrcet. Tho property belonged to Messrs. Ricbter & Sons, and was used as a danco hall and lager beer saloon. Tho building, together with almost everything that was In it, was en tirely consumed, there being no water near except that brought In buckets. The loss is about $3000, which is entirely covered by Insu rance in the GermanU of Now York. The origin of tho fire is not definitely known, but is sup posed to have originated from the bursting of a coal oil lamp. FROM WAbMNGTON. Army IlenlKnntlona. Despatch to the A undated 7 '.

An old seaman com ments on the report of a steamship being seen aa described, as follows: The steamer City of Boston is a full-rigged ship, with yards on all three masts, whereas the vessel seen by Captain Hoffses had yards only on the foremast. If it had been the missing steamer City of Boston sho would havo been at Queens town under sail alone aa quickly as tha E. A. Kennedy has made the passage from longitude 35 and latltudo 48. The vessel seen, though lying to and blowing off steam, was probably doing something to her machinery, for if she bad been permanently damaged In her motive power she would have been under can vas headed to tho eastward. The steamer Daclan, from New York, which arrived at (irccnock on the 18th nit., was hove to four times during the passage, aud had very severo weather, so that there is nothing unusual in a steamer being hove to even with tho motive power In good order. A Colored I.orretla Itorirta. A colored Lucretia Borgia, named Virginia Doyle, was arraigned at the 1'ollco Court In Detroit, on Friday, upon acharge of attempting to poison Mrs. Catharine Do Baptiste, the mother of the prisoner's first husband. Mrs. Do Bap tiste has been for some timo past at the house of Mrs. Doyle, No. 274 Beaublen street, and it is alleged that poison has been intro duced in small quantities into her food and medicine of late. Tho defend-1 ant Is at present living with her third husband, and (icorgo Taliafero, a son by her second husband, was led to suspect his mother: by drinking some beef tea that had boon pre pared for Mrs. Do Baptiste. It made klui quite sick, and ho determined to keep a close watch. A bottle of medicine was procured from a druggist nnd a piece of apple substituted lor the cork. A small splinter of wood was thrut Into'' the apple as if to prevent it from falling into the bottle; but this splinter was placed directly! over a mark upon the neck of tha bottle, i It is alleged that Taliafero then went, out of tho room for a few moments,, leaviug his mother there with the sick woman. When he returned ho found that tho stopper of the, bottlo bad been no turned that tho stick was not' above tho mark, and a piece of tho apple was' lying on the table. It is alleged by parlies who are acquainted with Mrs. Doylo that Do Bap-' tiste aud Taliafero both died very suddenly, and, that just before the death of the latter, he complained of a burning sensation, in , the, stomach. , ,, ,','., , lxsoal iNTDLLianrjcrj.
