" The third great man who has been taken away this week is Cat dinalyentini. to died on 811141 Y. 1;1,0346 Pentini was a prominent, in fluential•maxi, a friend of the nee Pope „Pius Boman by birth, handsome, refined, scholarly, and as true a Christian gentleman as ever lived. But he was easily deceived, imprudent and impolitic. He novel-under stood that greatest of all Fine Arts—Church politics—and yet his aspirations wore to be a great ecclesiastical statesman. He was for awhile a sort of Liberal leader, and enjOyed tnuchyoPularity. But after '4B the pal : toy of Pius IX. changed. Poor Moneignore Pentini, as he was then, fell under the ban, and his political career was ended. At one time he had hopes of being Primo Minister, blithe was put upon the shelf; his work was taken out of his bands; and although entitled in every way to a Cardinal's hat, it is said that Cardinal Antonelli kept him out of it for twenty years, just as Cardinal Lambrusohini Gregory XVl.'s Prime Minister, prevented Monsignore Mastai-Ferrati,now Pius IX.,from having his Cardinal's promotion. Four years ago, however, when the poor, disappointed Roman prelate was bowed down with age and paralysis, and near the end of his blighted journey, the Hat was given to him! It oame, as so many things come to us in life, aftergreat longing, just when we care the least for them. Times had changed in many ways, too, with the once prosperous Monsignore. So straitened n means• was he, that; wheathe Cardinal's Hat was bestowed upon him, he actually had to borrow on interest the small sum of 6,000 scudi, to bear the necessary expenses attend ant on the Collation of the Hat ; and to the day of his death the debt not only remained unpaid, but the interest caused him great trou ble. Four years Pentini enjoyed the achieve ment of one single aspiration—tour feeble years. I was presented to Cardinal Pentini last summer. Hewitt at his Frascati villa, which is to the left as you enter the town. The , greuids of the - villa, run down the side of the hill,,and axe arranged in the pretty, coquettish. Watteau-pieture style of the seventeenth cen tury ; boxwood fortifications and vistas of trees, with ,a lovely bit of landscape at the end, framed in with the leaves and branches. Two long flights of steps lead from the upper garden into a lower one, where is a grotto. It was here he received us. His Eminence looked very picturesque as he adVanoed from the grotto to meet us, tottering and leaning on the arms of his attendants. His scarlet soutane and cap,searlet toes and gold buckles of his shoes, Produced a nice effect against the cool , green of the shrubbery. It was a hot July morning, but the grotto garden was very fresh and pleasant. El e extended his hand, on which glittered the r 'ring of office. I bowed and kissed it. It was as beautiful a hand as I have ever seen—withered, but shaped as if by some clever chisel in thesoftest alabaster. There were remains of his former good looks in his face. His features were very high-bred. But what impressed . me most was the exquisite loveliness in the ex pression of his handsome dark eyes and finely cut mouth. I was glad to see this prelate, for I had heard so much of him when reviewing the history of the present long Papacy ; and while the others talked to him, I studied every featnre of the calm, resigned old face atten tively. • Read's portrait of this remarkable man, whose name was se closely connected with the sad Roman history of '46 and '4B, is one that will live among the great portraits of modern times. We promised to go and see His Eminence again, but I never cared to. I could not bear to look on this tottering frag ment of fallen distiection. On Tuesday last a stream of people poured into the Palazzo di Campitella, where the Cardinal's Roman apartment was and where he died. There bis Eminence lay in solemn funeral state, at the end of several large, poorly-furnished palatial rooms ; for, poor man? like many of us he had made too many sacrifices for his hopes and not enough for his realities. Only one room was worthy of its master—the library. Capuchins sat on long benches, singing the solemn service of, the dead. Tall candles burned about the stately black-velvet cata falque, and the large silver cross embroidered on it, the silver emblazonment of the prelate's armson:the ,cushion which lay on his poor cold 4eart, and the broad silver lace border, sparkled a/We in the dim light. In one of the ante-rooms were other Capuchins waiting to relieve their brethren's solemn guard. At the doors were Zouaves. Many a man and woman of the lower class came in, dropped on their knees before the cross at the foot of the coffin, and said a fervent prayer for the " repose of the soul of this once popular Church man. In '4B, if be could have seen the events of '69, what would he have thought? An (Ecumenical Connell ! He would have said it is impossible; such miracles never come. For the Cardinal was what is called a progressive Churchman in those days, and had little "faith in faith." While the poor Cardinal was lying in state, the daughter of General Lamoriciere was dying! A lovely young woman, who married Count de Maistre (yes, a descendant of that great ChatnliExy family) only five months ago. Her husband is in the Papal service. She came to Rome to live as a happy wife, she thought; but her work also was taken out of her hands! A typhoid fever attacked her a fortnight since; suddenly it was discovered that one lung was gone, and death was so rapid in its advance that they had 'only just time to have her mother brought from Paris to receive her bride-daughter's last kiss with her last breath. Poor Madame Lamerieiere ! A friend who called in to See me on Wedues day,-as she returned - from - the Countess's funeral, which had been celebrated that morning at the Gese with great solemnity, told me that since '4B Madame Eamorielere has had nothing but a succession of sorrows, blow after blow, and this seems the crown ing one. A General Congregation of the Bishops is to be hold on Tuesday. I was toldby a distin guished Dominican yesterday that the Sy rian Bishops have been summoned to the Propaganda to consult with Cardinal Barnabo ou yielding up their privilege of nominating their own Bishops; but while they are very amiable and gentle, they are at the same time very firm in holding on to what they seem to consider a right. This hardly tallies with the assertion of the London Times' correspondent, Who said the • Eastern Bishops are so many figure-beads, and would go as the Pope de sired, But tbatgentlemau'eassertions are not to be relied upon, which is a pity, for his let- tem are elitremeily clever.

S.—The telegraph wires will announce, long before my letter reaches you, the birth of a daughter to King Francis and Queen Sofia of Naples. This morning my physician and friend, Dr. Taussig, was in attendance on his old patroness, the Grand Duchess of Tuscany. While talking with her,the messenger arrived in haste from the Fames° palace to announce the happy news. "Not a son, to bb pure; still, a child, thank God!" was the fervent ex clamation. And this is so- 7 Am whether the poor young Queen has a. kingdom or not, still she is a mother, and will find sweet comfort in her child. A. B. LETTER FRONK PARIS. The Ministerial Crisis—The DiMosinee' of Cabinet Making—Complexion of the iqew annistl7-0111vier's Position on the Church Question—New Tear's Day atlas, Tuileries• tOorreisendmoe oi tab Philadelphia Emilie Dellehu , PAnts, Tuesday, Jan. 4th, 1870.—The crisis, after a longer delay and greater difficulties than had been contemplated, came to an end yesterday morning, when the de crees nominating the new Cabinet appeared in the official journal. It is both bettet and stronger in composition than one ventured to hope or to expect. On Sunday last it was almost taken for granted that a purely Right Centre Ministry had been formed, as I antici pated would' be the case in • my last letter. And it appears certain that the nominations had, actually been made and accepted; and only awaited the Imperial signa ture Such a Ministry was said to include the names of M. de la Gueronniere and M. Baudin (son of the old Protestant Admiral), now both hOlding quite second-rate diplomatic posts at Brussels and the Hague. A cabinet so con• stituted would have been weak both in its in dividual members and in the support it could have commanded, and would only have proved that. M. 011ivier had been compelled to go out of his way to fill up his posts. Fortunately, at the very last moment it seems to have struck both M. 011ivier himself and all the parties concerned that such'a combination would never do. And so it was resolved to make another attempt to secure the co-operation of the Left Centre. The conditions demanded by that party be fore it would consent to take office were well known. They were simply these: It de manded that Messrs. Segris, de Tal bona, Buffet and Daru should all have seats in the Cabinet. On these terms only could a complete alliance be effected between the two Centres, and the best and strongest Ministry be formed which present circumstances admit of. It is well known that a portfolio had been already pressed upon M. Buffet, in conjunction with the first two of the above four names. But he steadily deolined to accept office without his colleagues of the Left Centre. Whether the unwillingness to include two mem bers of that party in the Ministry pro ceeded from M. 011ivier himself, or from a higher' quarter, I am unable to say with certainty. But I rather incline, from what I have heard, to believe that M. 011ivier himself hesitated at first to admit into his Cabinet a combination of four members whose united influences would more than counter balance his own, and with whose sentiments he did not precisely agree on all points. How ever this may be, the gEmperor, when con- suited, appears to have offered no opposi tion. And I know that when M. Daru desired to have .an audience with the Emperor previously to accepting office, in order to present some explanations respect ing the vivacity of his own lauguage at the late elections, at a moment when he was being virulentlY opposed and.assailed by the Administration, Napoleon replied to such re quest that the audience was not necessary, because ,he was quite prepared to accept un reservedly whatever persons were recom mended to him for Ministere by M. 011ivier. And thus the combination so much to be de sired was at length effected, and Messrs. Segris, de Talhouet, Buffet, and Daru all agreed to accept office. And thus we are already, as I ventured to predict would soon be the case, more " con stitutional" than we were a few days ago. For the weak point of the new Ministry, as I re marked, was likely to be the character of the majority which supported it, if formed only out of the Right Centre. But now the happy combination of the two Centres purities, in a great measure, the majority upon which the Ministry will depend from the taint of official candidates, and makes it, on the whole, not a very unfair representation of the wishes of the more sober portion of the community. It only remains to remark that M. 011ivier reserves for himself the post of Minister of Justice, combined with that of Public Wor ship—the office for which he is undoubtedly best qualified, and the "retention of which is significant, at the present moment„by a man who has both written and spoken as he has done on the subject and intentions of the Ro man Council. He is a strong upholder of the rights.of the national church, and.disposed to resist firmly all attempts at Papal aggression upon Galilean privileges and liberties. And thus the Ministerial crisis is happily over, and the constitutional regime fairly bunched. 'The two leaders of the Right Centre, Messrs. Segris and de Talliouet, take the portfolios of Public Instruction and Pub lic Works. The two leaders of the Left Centre, Messrs. Buffet and Count Napoleon Daru, assume the offices of Ministers of Finance and Foreign Affairs, thus giving the two most important posts to those members of the cabinet who are most broadly liberal, and incline towards thb Loft rather than towards the Right of the Chamber. M. L. Valdrome, who is the new Minister of the Interior, stands in opinion very nearly midway between the two 130 e lions of the Centre. The plaoes of Minister of War and Marine remain in the hands of TIM DAILY EVENING, BULLETINT-.E'II.ELA.DELPIVA, IIItipAY4ANILARY thnirformorooonpants, 9eueral leobreaf and do , 'Onriouilly, lgith inod'orata mnn anditatinutill of liolitioittni.' *M.

The usual ol9loial receptions Wok place at the 'Tuileries on New Year's day, and people pricked up their 'ears to ,hear. , what , passed, But the only-expreeidoria any moment, and which directly applied to passing events,, were these made use of by the Emperor in his re ply to the Corps "Your prero'ga tives have been augmented," he said,. ",with out diminishing the authority which I hold from the nation!' The last words aro highly characteristic of Naptileen He used them probably, dither to throw dust in the eyes of the mimes; whom he does not perhaps think it safe to allow to suspect that his authority': is ' "'diminished ;" or else be tries really to persuade himself that he can part with a large share of his power and still keep it I But the former, I think, is the real interpretation to be put upon his language. The only reference to ex ternal affairs was hi reply to the Papal Nuncio, who acted as spokesman to the diplomatic body, and to whom the Emperor expressed his conviction that the year 1870 would be a year of peace. Public attention has been completely ab sorbed by the above political events, which have even superceded the pre.occupations of the Jour de l' An. The meeting of the Cham ber and the Ministerial debut of M. 011ivier and his Cabinet are looked forward to with great interest. THE MATNNERCHOWS BAL MASQUE.—The Mannerchor gave its sixth bal masque at the Academy of Music lust evening in a most suc cessful manner. The guests upon their arri val were met at the door by the Reception Committee, composed of Messrs. A. U. Fel/88, A. Weihenmayer, L. Harwood, A. Mergen thaler, L. Herbert,4.ll. Camp, F. Seelhorat, Geo. F. Benkert,'M. Bruckinann,PUul Jagode, A. Sengstack, L. Schnarr, Wm. de la • Barre, F.W.Thomas,Jr., and Chas. J. Roth. 'Xhe inte rior of the building was arranged as Usual for balls. The stage was set with the scene from the Sicilian Vespers, and the front of the bal cony and family circle was tastefiilly fes tooned with bunting, the banners of the So ciety being displayed from the centre of the balcony. The attendance-was large. There were two orchestras, led respectively by Carl Sentz and .Henry Oberkirsch. The ball was opened about a quarter past nine o'clock. There was a flourish of trum pets and up went the• curtain. Then a very picturesque scene met the view of the specta tors, who completely filled the parquette cir cle, balcony and family circle. Prince Carni val, with his subjects, was awaiting the' arri. val of the Emperor of China' and suite. A locomotive bell was heard in the distance, and in a few minutes a locomotive and two pas senger cars of the Union Pacific Railroad made their appearance on the stage. The faces of the Chinamen were distinctly visible at the windows of the cars. After the train had made a detour of the stage, the Emperor was received by the Master of Ceremonies and introduced to Prince Carnival who placed his gala wagon at the disposal. of the distin guished guest. Then the carnival review be gan. c..m..Thttimann, Master of Ceremonies, and his adjutants,. A. Ludwig and A. Virende roth. led oft: Then followed the band, clad in' the old French costume.; the Reception Com mittee, in Spanish costume; the Floor Com mittee, in French court dresses, and the As sistant Committee, in old Style English Cos tutnes. At the head of the committees the magnificent white satin banner. of the society was carried: After the committees the pro cession -was in the following order . : His Majesty, the Emperor of China (Geo. Voigt), Ministers and Suite. ' Carnival, Music. Carnival Flag. Carnival Guard. • His Foolish Majesty, Prince. Carnival (Rei chardt), and Suite. • • ' The Cuba Question. The beat solution of the "Alabama" Ques- • tion. • The Ring Conundrunt,supported by the M erry • . Couple. The Latest in Spiritualism. The Balloon Conundrum. Harmonie, Friends and Neighbors. The maskers maybe classed under the terms of "Friends and Neighbors." They were dressed in costumes of every imaginable description, and as the fantastically-dressed mass of humanity moved slowly around the stage s the scene was very pretty. The pro cession was augmented every moment by maskers who seemed to spring . up sudaenly from every part of the parquet circle, and the stage became tilled with persons, scarcely two of whom, except the committees,were dressed alike. The sight from the balcony at this time was g:rand. After the review the dancing commenced, and was under the direction of the Floor Committee—Messrs. A. Schohay, John Meichel, C. Neiunann, E. W. Mevius, C. Reiss, M. Herrman, Chas. Boehm, F. Baltz and E. liahnefeld. Until nearly three o'clock this morning the participants in the festival were engaged in tripping it on the " light fan wain," and everybody got ample enjoyment. The affair was wellmanaged and fully sus tained the good reputation which the " Old" Mannerchor bears in such matters. ANOTHER OLD VETERAN GONE.—Captain John Huston, a veteran of the War of 1812, died at his residence in Montgomery county, near Chestnut Hill, on Wedne:iday, 19th inst., in the eighty-sixth year of his age.

Ile Will Arrive at Ninon To• Day. The Tribune has the following : . • RUTLAND, Vt., Jaß. 20;—Prince Arthur and suite, consisting of Col. Elphh er i t erie and Lients. Pickard and Fitzray, with' ndry ser vants, left Montreal at .3f o'clo to-day, for New York, on the way to Washington. The party are accommodated with the magnificent private car of the President of the Hudson River Railroad, which was sent to Montreal especially for that purpose. They travel otherwise with no ostentation or parade, the car being attached to the regular night train, and the fact of the Prince's presence kept as quietus possible. It was after dark (7 o'clock) when the train reached the quiet little town of St. Albans, the first American stoppage, where a halt was made for supper. Some curiosity Wati here manifested to see the scion of royalty, and quite a crowd of both sexes was gathered at the depot in ex pectation that he would alight; but, in this they were dieappointed, as a collation was served in the car to the notable traveler and his attendants. The curtains of the car were also kept closely drawn to avoid observation, but despite these precautions Yankee curi osity asserted itself, and sundry glimpses of the Prince were claimed by individual mem here of the crowd, though whether the fortu nate ones had seen the real Prince, or merely his equerry, wass altogether a matter,of doubt and conjecture. Just before the train started the Prince stepped on the platform of the station, and in dulged in a promenade back and forth, en joying hugely the curiosity of the people, who surrounded the car, and made such persistent efforts to see inside of it the person who was so quietly strolling about outside. The beautiful day that had favored the de parture from Montreal, and afforded the loyal Canadians the opportunity of showing their respect to the Queen through her son, was succeeded by a clear, beautiful, starlight even, ing, lending a peculiar charm to the wildly beautiful scenery about the bead of Lake Champlain. The ,distinguished travelers seemed to enjoy the views from their car windows. 'The immediate point of passage across the American border was passed unob • served, but very soon after it was announced to one , of the members of the suite that they were on American soil. The announcement was repeated to the Prince, and created a very happy impression throughout the com pany. Sundry facetious. remarks were inter changed,one of the party venturing to remind the royal passenger that ho was now in a country abounding in princes. He replied: believe every man is a prince here. I must doff my royalty." His title while travel ing in the United States will be one of the les ser ranks of distinction with which the mem bers of the royal family are so abundantly sup plied. This convenient change of title obvi ates the necessity of subjecting royalty to the deplorable violations of etiquette to which vul gar Republicans are seppOsed to be addicted. It is a polite reminder that as we do not un deretand what is due to the exalted position which birth has conferred upon the yeune , anan,we may. be permitted to see and approach W. H.

This, uncertainty and the lateness of the hour, com bined to deprive pe'ople of the opportuity of dratifying their curiosity to see a real prince, and after the usual delay of ten or fifteen Minutes, the train moved away, leaving the Unhappy Burlingtonians utterly unconscious of thereat ' event. ' . ' The Prince remained seated at the car win dow nearly the .whole distance to this place, where we havejust arrived at 1 o`olock A. M. He has frequenly expressed his admiration of the scenery, though gazed upon only by the dim-starlight, and later by the early moon light. He has now retired, having given in structions to be roused in time to see every thing of interest along the Hudson, in regard to which his anticipations have been raised to the highest degree. The train proceeds from this point via Salem, and the Troy and Bostoniloadto Troy, where it is due at 5.30 A. M. It will there connect with the Hudson River train, leaving East Al bany at 6.30, and will arrive in New York at 12.45. The Prince and suite will proceed directly to the Provoort House, and remain quiet through the day, in order 'to recuperate for the next stage to Washington: It is as yet uncertain whether the Prince will leave for Washington on Friday night or Saturday morning.

Kanon, the' missionary on ata ritari, writes to the Ruokoa: " On the 11th of April we received a letter. from Olivia, the wife of Mabee, stating that her husband had been *shot on the night of 20th of Mardi, by a son of Nakara,of Tarawa. He was struck in the neck, the ball passing down by the shoulder-blade, and out near his mak, He was not killed, though badly wounded—a paralysis of one arm resulting from the shot. We have not heard whether Maboe still survives. Mahoe, with his wife, with their household Muff, bad taken refuge in the store of a foreigner on the island—but for whose protection, Olivia says, they would both have been killed. Kanoa states we greatly fear the'enmity of these Micronesian heathen. It is reported that at Tarawa many natives as well as foreigners have been murdered. The heathen party speak very proudly, because, though often threatened with the preSence of a man-of-war 'to punish them for their' outrages, none has, as yet,. .made its appearance."-Admiral UrnCr Rome time ago despatched the Jamestown, CaPtain Tnixton, to visit the Micronesian lalands, and the probability is that she arrived at Apiang shortly after the trouble spoken of above. —A .New Jersey girl asked all her friends to help her make a rag-carpet, and when, at the end of the busy day, the carpet was completed, she sent everybody oft' without aupper, be cause "the hired girl bad a lame back.

A good index of the prosperity and wealth of the country through which this road passes may be fouud in the tact' that the Company report over& mil lion and a quarter dollars subscribed and expend.d by indivlduaLs residing along the line in pushing on one hundred and sixty miles of the work, and it also a strong proof of the local upularity and neceseit for the road: Yours respectful'''.
