Bands of music are now regularly engaged at

and on a mach larger scale. it is estimated that
fully one hundred new buildings will be put up by

good tenants. There is, a great scarcity of this

Rot:lair's speech seas respondad to by the Em

reached New York by telegraph, it not worth
while to give it. The Emperor does not lack
aSsurance when he dares tell the French nation
-that they have as much liberty as they are
entitled to ! The effect of the speech is decidedly
unfavorable. Ills Majesty delivered his discourse
in a clear. distinct voice, and was perfectly
heard throughout the building. After tho
imperial speech came the distribution of prizes,
and of nominations to the various grades of the
Legion of Honor. Each group of exhibitors

Duly fallen Into the snare which he had set for
milers. It was he—a European Prince, who pro-
Io !Zone lb Mexico to sow the seed of
civilization—who intetrupted the' humanities of
war, and set the horrid examole of executions in
'old blood. When we are called on every morn
ing to admire; the spirit which animated his con
duct in Mexico. and to execrate Juarez, it is ne
cessary to recall facts which we should otherwise
lie glad to bury in oblivion. The truth is there is
nothing more barbarous in the history of this
country than the measures to which Maximilian
resorted to secure his power in a country in which
he was a stranger and an invader.,"
rflo: London Star. I
"There was, after all, for more kxclise for the
execution of Maximilian than for the shooting of
Murat. We are afraid that if the Mexicans have
put to death the luckless invader of.their country,
they have acted only on the common practice of
Europe, and in obedience to a detestable policy
of which Maximilian, acting under the delud
ing influence of fatal. counsels, himself set
them the example. But the tragedy of this
poor young man's fate is not the less ghastly
because his slayers may plead historical precedent
for his execution. As regards Maximilian him
self, a generous and humane heart can hardly
lament he sentence that closed his broken and
darkened life. - What had he to live for? Ills
young and faithful wife, •who shared the brief
prime of his fortunes and the dark days of their
early winter, is a hopeless maniac. His career
has been all a ruin. Himself a kindly and gene
rous man, he had become through weakness and
evil counsel the notrunient of vast and fearful
bloodshed—and al for nothing, for worse than
nothing; for failure, ghastly, ludierocs, terrible.
Years and years of civil war—war not yet ended.—
have been waged in Mexico in the name and by
the commands of one who,when holding formerly
as difficult a position as man ever held—that of
an Austrian Governor In an Italian province—

his rule by the generosity and .kindness of his
disposition. How could such a man care to cling

Says : Hobert Hunt, whose death was men
tioned in our Chicago special yesterday morning,
was the husband of Mrs. Sallie Ward Hunt, of
Tr.entucky. Sallie Ward was a famous belle In
her younger days. It will be remembered that
her first_ husband was T. Bigelow Lawrence, of
Massachusetts, son of Abbott Lawrence, formerly
Minister to England. Shortly after the marriage
they separated, and the country was full of the
scandal of the case. Dr. Hunt was a gentleman
of fortune and accomplishments, but addicted to
strong drink, which iii the end, caused his violent
death." •

ROHE.
The Pope'''. Allocution.
[From the Parbi Union, Judy 1.1
The address of the Pope, made in the presence
of non Bishops forming the consistory that met on
June '26. commences with congratulations offered
to the prelates assembled in Rome to defend the
Catholic religion. Pius IX., however, tempers
Lis expressions of congratulation with words of
complaint when he alludes
. to the state of the
- eh tt rtir in - timremark; --4- The - Ca th olleffai
authority of the Apostolie Seat arc attacked with
the most implacable machinations." Continuing,
and alluding to the same subject, the Pope says :
" Indeed, why should we deceive ourselves?'
Venerable brethren. for many years past we have
stood on the battle-field and struggled in defence
of religion and justice against perfidious and un
daunted enemies. The struggle is so prolonged,
SO terrible, that the united forces of the sacred
militia appear scarcely equal to resist it. As for
ourselves. fighting in the cause of the Church for
liberty and the rights . appertaining to our 'supreme,
charge, until now we have escaped—thanks to -
the assistance Of — the Almighty—many mortal
perils.
"Yet, though hurried along and tossed at the
captive of the winds and stormy waves, we dread
not shipwreck, for the present help of our Lord
Jesus Christ preserves us from fear; but we are
deeply afflicted at the promulgation of so many
new and menstrous doctrines: at the sight of so
many clinics and acts of impiety committed
againSt the Church and the Apristohe Seat. We
have already reproved and condemned those pro
ceedings. and now- again . , in perfermancce of
our (ale, we reprove anti condemn them
publicly.
"1 - ou, venerable brethren, will understand,
with your time-strengthened wisdom, how im
port:ut it is to oppose the designs of the impi
ous and to heal the -wounds of the Church. Let
your unanimous agreement with ourselves and
with the Apostolic Seat shine more brightly than
ever, and become more deeply rooted within yote
from day to day.
"It is necessary that the ativerSarle - s of religion
understand, from her •teachings that she is the
strength and life'of that Catholic Church which
they unceasingly pursue with their hatred; that
they learn how mail and powei less is the insult
they apply to her when they charge her with
'being exhausted and unworthy of the age;
that they learn how ill-inspired they are
to trust in their own success, in their own efforts,
end in their own enterprises, and that they see
that no one can break a fasces of threes such
as that which .lesus Christ and his divine virtue
bound upon the stone_ of_the_confes , ion of the
Apostles. Now more than ever,, venerable breth-,
ren, men must see clearly that there is no narrow
and trusty bond between souls, but while there
reigns over all the single and self-same spirit of
GOd,.and Must know that it' they abandon God
and despise the anthority of the Church. they do
not attain that felicity which they seek- in the
path of clime, but are hurled into the cruelest
dissensions and the most terrible storms."

THE LATE Dn. HUNT.—The St. Louig Dewocrae
The Eztakcasler Boiler Explonion.
11 . 'rr4o filo Lon. ,t-t, r of Auttirdny.)
iiioriiing fifteen minutes before Six
4.rt:10(21: ' . one of the boilers of the Fulton Cotton
of ad,: city, ow lied by Wiley 6: Co., ex
ploded, With terri,fle consequences. Thu build
ing attached to tht: main building, containing the
boilers and engine, was literailv - dernolished, and
the diliris thrown in every direction, and five
sixth- of the boiler, weighing over three tons,
Rif carried 'over live hundred feet.
The eftk ts of the explosion were most terrific.
The mill was driven by all engine supplied' by
two tOmlar hollers, set side by side, each 50
inches in diameter and 16 feet long, and contain
ing 22 four and a half inch iron flues. These boilers
were set north and south, the fire-fronts facing
south. The eastern boiler exploded, five-sixths
of it going north and the other sixth, being one
section of thirty-two inches and the head, going
into the yard on the south. This section was
twisted and torn in every imaginable shape by the
force of thz- explosion.
The larger portion, weighing over three tons,
passed over the engine; materially damaging its
machinery,—killing—the-engineeraud—redueint,,
the engine house to a wreck. The force of the
explosion threw the other boiler in a westward
direction, knocking out a portion of the ,end
wall of themill. This caused• the dying boiler to
slightly diverge to the eastc crossing the opposite
lot at an angle. It struck the street, tearing up
the pike, and rebounded into a lot on the oppo
site side, again tearing up the iparth. From this
point it rebounded over the fence into James
street, corner of Duke and James. This huge
mass of iron struck the earth at the root of some
trees, along the curb-line, making a tremendous
eojneussion, upsetting chairs in the kitchen, and
canning considerable consternation in the house
hold.
TWo of Mr. Shirk's men at the time were hitch
ing the horse in the milk wagoU, when they heard
the explosion and saw the boiler corning. With
one trace hitched, the horse started, but the huge
projectile
,caught the hind wheels, and broke the
axle; The men .eScaped unhurt. The man-hole
'plate of the boiler was disengaged by the force of
the fall, and, rebounding, struck the wall of Mr.
Shirk's house, knocking oil the plaster in his
parlor.
The escape of life and -property was miraculous.
Ila d the north instead of the south head of the
boiler giVen'way, it would have entered the resi
dence of John J. Cochran. and probably de
molish( d several houses in that bl6ek. The
'roof of his house Was 'considerably damaged,
and a hole, knocked in the gable by a flying pro
jectile.
That portion of the boiler. weighing over three
tons was Carried a distance of five hundred feet.
In its flight it struck the ground and rebounded
twice, thus materially breaking its velocity.
Otherwise, it would have undoubtedly gone
through and demolished Mr. Shirk's residence.
Tluicause of the explosion. like boiler explo
sions generally, is involved in mystery, and judg
ing from the dilatory and blundering movements
of.the Coroner this morning, that. august body
known as a coroner's jury will not throw much
light on it. Up to noon, the jury had not made
their appearance on the ground, by which time a
couple of collapsed fines, a stop valve, hail some
other portions of the wreck, which ought to have,
been-seen-and examined-by-themon-the spbt,diad_
been removed. In the meantime, the Coroner
and his jury were going through the meaningless
form of "viewing the dead 'bodies," after which
they adjourned fOr dinner!
The firemitu. says that he examined the try
cocks of the boilers but a minute before the ex
plosion, and that there was water at the 'third
guage. The watchman, who made the fires, also
Insists that there was plenty of water when he
left a short time before. Some persons very
coolly informed us that the boilers exploded be
cause there was too much water in them—so
much they
: could not blow the steam-Whistle!
On the' ether hand, - .sonic of the flues of
the boiler took as if they liad been
subjeCted to intense heat, indicating that
the Avater had i.z..ot below the third
line of flues. Two of the flues are collapsed, and
another bent hi such a manner as to lead us to
the conclusion that it could only be done when
red hot. Agaiust this theory is the assertion of
the fireman and watchman as to the gauge of
water in the boiler. It is one of those cases
which should ree cre a thorough investigation

checkmating the litibustering.schemes under nay
in this city. The Oliowing resolutions ware pre
sented, hat action in-on them postponed until a
mere generally attended meeting should be held:
ii b6 ,- da, The success of the Republican antis
in Mexico. resulting in the overthrow of the for
eign invader and the expulsion of the legions of
imperial France (the mother of tyranny) merits
our supreme adoration of the will of that Divine
Providence which has nerved the arms :Ind in
fused the hearts of the soldiers of the Republic
with that love of country, of Godlike principles,
and unquenchable determination to continue for
;ix weary-years of blood and slaughter a heroic
tlefi-nce of the principles of 'self-government, and
which have at last been so triumphantly vindicated
in freeing Mexico of the rapine and lust of the
mercenary invader.
Re:wired, That we sympathize with Mexico in
her unequal struggle with a foreign despotism
from which she has - so triumphantly emerged . ;
and that to Benito Juarez, his generals and sol
diers, are the thanks of the American people due
for their heroic vindication of the Republican
unity of the North American'coutinent.
Rrsolrol, That the execution of Maximilian
was, when read in the light of his infamous de
cree of the 3d of October, 1835, a fit and proper
_retaliation, and that we believe his death is a
proper sacrifice otierpflup on the altar of liberty,
and the spectacle of which will deter the monar
chical propagandi of Europe from hazarding their
lives in the unholy attempt to foist religious
and civil despotism upon a free people..
