about rather lively, but as far as ascer

Messrs, Harvey D. Parker, Wm, W.

tors of the three leading hotels ia Boston,
'were before the Municipal Court on Thura
iday, charged with violating the Liquor law.
The defendants waived reading the indiot
rnents, and theueual form of sentence, a fine

A Spanish Donation.— Among the Lon
rion 2Smes’3 advertisements the following
i ecently appeared—“Archbisbop Manning
acknowledges, with his thanks, the letter
and enclosure of N. I. L., received' safely
on November 6th.” The transaction to
wbioh 'tije announcement dimly refers is
extraordinary. On the day on wbioh the
Gunpowder Plot is called to mind by gro
tesque exhibitions in the. public streets,
Archbishop Manning received the letter al
luded to, the enclosure being a oheok on a
leading bank for the sum of five hundred
pounds. The sender gave no name, but
signed himself “Guy Faux, a Protestant,”
and; marked his donation “for the use of
Pope Pius IX.” Archbishop fanning
looked upon the letter in the light of a jest,
and was about throwing letter and check oa
the fire, when his secretary suggested that
they might be able to trace the author of
the supposed hoax, inasmuoh as the check
was numbered and lettered by the bankers.
Archbishop Manning agreed to this, and on
the check being presented at the hank, the
manager said he bad instructions to pay the
amount, and thatthe'gift was that of a Pro
testant gentleman, who was anxious that,
bis name should not be made known.
The Archbishop transmitted the money in
due course to Rome, and thanked the donor
by public advertisement.
A Present to the President.— The
President , hss received from James Lyon,
of Richmond, a cane made of a pieoe of the
old’ frigate Constitution. The inscription
on the gold head ef the cane compliments
Johnson as “the restorer of the Constitu
tion.” .
