The Roman correxpondent of the Eweent litidyet, at 'Vienna, wnting on the 19th of Feb . riiary, says : The news of Count Beiuit's note on the Syl labus, which f was enabled to communicate to .you by telegraph last Tne.stlay, has produced a great sensation here. The note is addressed to Count Trautniansdortr, the Austrian Am bagsador at Rome. It warns the Vatican mast earnestly against taking any steps which may be in opposition to the Austrian constitution, or lead to encroachments on the rights of the Austrian State, and declares the determination of the Austrian government not to sutler any • such encroachments, at the same time express ing its wish to avoid conflicts between the State and the Church. This note is entirely independent of any agreement which may be entered into between the Powers in the event of any step being actually taken by the Coun cil against their interests or those of peace and civilization with theview of a common course of action in the matter. Count Baust's warning to the Vatican was, I understand, purely a spontaneous act, con sequent on his Having received information that twenty-one canons had really been sub• mitted for adoption. These canons condemn certain laws which form part of the Austrian constitution, and forbid the Catholics in the empire to obey them; and the Count consid ered it necessary at once to express his views on the statject, in order that his silence should not be constructed into consent. I learn that the government has decided to punish, with the utmost rigor of the law, any priest in Austria who may publish the new canons. It is remarkable that all the Austro-Hungarian bishops, forty-six in number, who are now present at the Council, belong to the opposi tion, with the single exception of the Bishop of Brixen.

The annual Commencement exercises of the Hahnemann Medical College,this morn ing,formed one of the memorable events in the 'history of pilules. It was sufficiently brilliant to carry sunshine to the bosom of either Hahnemann or any other man who places due estimate , upon the theory eimilia umtlibua et/renter. By some people the idea of any saving, efficacy in a dose that would scarcely physic a fly is never mentioned without de , rision. That in imaginary diseases its po tency is irresistible is very certain.. That a pop , gun should fire as electively as a columblad, or that a regiment of men With teaspoons could dean the streets an effectually as aco hors armed with shovels, is a matter into which many people are unable to see.. The extent to which ' the tenets • of thie school are gaining ground is something most pleasantly illustrated in the Commencement at the Academy to-day. The Faculty of this College proudly point to the names of many illustrious physicians who, relinquishing tho old school doctrines, hays openly gone over to their ranks. • ' The success of the Hahnemann Medical College of Philadelphia is due to the unflag ging persistence of but a handful of gentle men. The laity came handsomely to their support. The satisfaction they, enjoy is that at this moment their diplomas are recognised 17 corresponding institutions in . Germany and t•ance. The fore* of the compliment will be better understood when we remember that not very long ago the only medical school in Philadelphia, recognized in England, was the medical school of the University of Pennsyl vania_ The audience at the Academy this morning 1 included a large representation of the elite of 'the city, Every arrangement made by the faculty was in perfect keeping. The gradua- I ling class; as- will be seen elsewhere, repre seb"all nuartentof the eau n try it: sl 4 . & l l a _ m _ _ spectabilityWasevinced in numerous respects. The young gentlemen received theirparch merits and bouquets as reverently as if Hahne .rnann had personally presented them: They entered the building without tithe; they emerged from it so many full-fledged M. D.s. sures.t.s Iti 'ern : The exercises opened with prayer by Rev. Edward W. Appleton. Prof. C. G. Italie, M. D., then delivered - the valedictory address. El e said : With many, it seems to be considered a for tune tJ gain money, and with some this object •er tot to be Ike pre-eminent motive of all their exertions. Gentlemen, I . do not propose to make use of the word " fortune ' in this vulgar sense, especially to-day, when it is my pleasant duty to say a low parting words to you. There is a higher aim in a physician's life han money-making, and there, is a greater fortune to which man may attain than gold; and I shall try, on this occasion, to inspire von ,with loftier ideas of your prefeasion—and of 'what you have been successfully striving for in tile past years by hard and aiduttus work— than merely as means of accumulating wealth. * * * * But let us consider these things which most nearly concern as. About fifty years ago there arose in the East Indies a dreadful malady which mowed down a human crop with merci less rapidity. This was the Asiatic cholera. It appeared some twelve years later in Europe. The science of Therapeutics of that day was entirely destitute of means to stay this fearful plague. Then Homteopathy was yet izi its in fancy ; and although its founder had already proclaimed the three main remedies to be used against it,--Csunphora, Veratrum and Cup rum,—yet but few took . ' heed of this new discovery. Now look atthe resulta which are proclaimed by the statistics of later epi demics, when the law of similia similibus had gained a stronger foothold, and you will ob serve a most striking change. Or, read the accouhts of the ravages which yellow fever has made in the South, and how helpless, nay, even injurious, bas the old school treatment proved itself to be, from the first to the last of these epidemics ; and then compare the results of Honueopathy in the same epidemics, and you will surely I.ly with me, that knowledge 1 . 4 I power Do you know what still • fills the mothers heart with fear and tiembling when one of her darlings is taken with sore throat, fever, headache and vomit ing? It is ,the dread of scarlet fever. Aye, and a fearful visitor it has been in many a family, and a destroyer of health for life, or of • life itself ! I hope, gentlemen, you will help to lessen this fear from year to year, by the successful application of the knowledge you have acquired,by demonstrating in your prac tice that only exceptional cases prove fatal— cases which seem doomed from the first start. But let me break off here, lest it might seem as though i were boasting of Hommopathy ; it needs no boasting. My object is merely to show that we have gained a izowerover disease heretofore unknown, and that this power is— keezeledge! But we are not at the top of the ladder yet; we have just fairly commenced climbi ng ., * * * * * * I think, gentlemen, your teachers have done what they could, to prepare and incline your minds for such self-growing action. They do not expect that you have learned by heart everything which medical science has already brought to light; they have not intended to stuff you with facts and theories, either their own or others ; but they have tried to make you understand facts and theories ; to set you thinking of the why and wherefore of things ; to inspire you with a love of our glorious science ; iashort, they have tried to put you on the right track, upon which, they hope, you will move by your own steam; and be come men of independent thought and judg riu,rit, self-thinking, self-producing! Climb on Ithen ! It will giVe yen fliers delight, more satisfaction, and more internal hold,then all the other things you can obtain. And this is the kind of fortune, on to which, I hope, the tide of ~ o vour lives may carry you. * * * 1 The Professor said that in the year 1833 H uueoppahy was born in this country, in this very city,and in 1834,at Allentown,the first at tempt in the world was made to' found a Ho . meopatbie School,. In 1844 the American In hating of Homteopathy was founded, and Dr. C. Hering was, by acclamation, elected first President. The eveaker remarked : •" But, speaking without figure; we may indeed be proud of the progress which Homeeopathy'has made. Froma few pioneers and a few adhe rents in this country, it has increased to four or five thoiiiiand phySielans who at least sail under its flag, and, to .millions of, adherents. liyiwhat means ? By hard work ! by having `disseminated , its truths; by having lead° people ; the. personal friends of these truths ; •by having made them feel its beneficial influence upon their own welfare ; by having thus made people become ' identified with our cause." The ladies' fair in the interest of the Hornreo pathic Hospital was alluded to. The institu tion has thus gained a start; and befOre many • years pass bY,it an'aceomplished fact. Dr. Raueconoluded his address as, follows:, "Gentlemen, you are 'going front 'and soon you will be scattered near and far. Do not expect to gather fruit where you have not 'Sown seed • you will succeed .only., in the, da. gree in which you work for ,t 4.0 valise, Take ibis illustration along with you ; and wherever you go, prepare the soil, and it cannot fail,' that by your earnest and teidOus endeavors .Homoeopathy will come • out triumphantly over all the country."'

May you have a good time. " Wednesday morning I shall expruss to you a gold watch, which you will oblige me by presenting to my student, Henry M. Lewis. Wind it up, band it running. Have, it a complete surprise to him, presented with the bouquet and other presents, won the stage. " Yours most truly, "HENRY MINTON." In brief but tonehing terms, upon they Aca demy stage, in the presence of the dense multitude that filled the stately structure, Dr. Martin made the presentation. To the recipient it was a surprise that almost de prived him of the power of speech, Other presentations were made. Various young gentlemen received from their preceptors sets of valuable medical works. In an aria and chorus, given with immense effect, the exer cises of the auspicious occasion were brought to a close. L( LOCAL CHOWDER.---Vilaat the - snow lost by the sun of yesterday it regained b congelation last night. In the country roads around the sleighing is excellent. To-day will, probably, terminate it. From the side of the walrof a manufactur ing building opposite the West Chester Rail road depot a pipe discharges exhausted steam into the street. For shocking the nervous system of timid horses we know of_ nothing more effectual. To hear of a team running away and smashing things in_generalls some thing that we daily expect. The pipe should he run up through the roof. Proper economy is commendable. The economy that perils human life is culpable. The farmers didn't visit ns this morning in the usual numbers. This was because so many of them are not owners of suitable sleighs. The consequence was a scanty sup ply of country merchandise. Butter holds its own at 70 and 80 cents a pound, while eggs are exulting in sticking us to the tune of 40 cents a dozen. Poidtry is scarce, today. Being scarce it sells dear. The show of tish at Dock street, wharf, this morning, was especially flue. The only trouble is that it lacked the usual contribution of salmon. Butchers' meat continues at about last week's prices. A big three -masted schooner, for Captain Townsend, of Somers'Point, being latilt at the Petty's Island shipyard, by Messrs. Doughty and Kapella. Upon the stocks at the same yard is a remarkably staunch steam 'yacht, made expressly for towing fruit scows down-the rivers of Florida. She is one of a series to be built at the same point for tho pur poses of expediting to tidewater for transpor tation the fruits of Florida. Millions of oranges are to be had there for next to nothing. In the same yard a powerful steam tug is being built for parties in New York. This work comes at a very opportune period. Of late many ship-carpenters have been obliged to turn their attention to wharf-build ing or trestle-laying. In connection with the big ship on..the stocks of the Cramps, this work brings cheerfulness to Fiehtown. Many of the retail stores to-day are putting silver into circulation. They do this in order to impart a stir. to business. Whether they add the premium to the price of their goods people will for themselves- fled out. The argentiferous jingle, of a half-dollar on a walnut counter brings back memories by no means unpleasant. The Board of School Controllers and the Judges of the Courts were entertained last night at the residence of President Stanton. This is a continuation of the annual custom initiated by President Shippen. Of the Board of Control but two gentlemen -were absent. Of the character of the entertainment the participants speak with especial satisfaction. The roads in the vicinity of Mauayunk are in a tearful condition. The manufacturers tind their teams unable to pull even half a usual load. Transportation from the Mont gemery side of the Schuylkill has been done, ever since the freshet, by means of sco ws.

The dele gates to the fifty-third annual meeting of the American Colonization Society reported that there was an attendance larger than for many previous years, and that the last expedition which sailed from Norfolk last November bad safely reached Liberia. Edward James Roye, the fifth President of Liberia, delivered his inaugural address .at Monrovia, Janu ary 3, 1870. Several very interesting letters were read from Richard Howard,Alonzo Hag gard and other emigrants, expressing their joy in reaching Liberia, and hoping that their friends would follow them. One who had been a soldier in the 3d Regiment, U. S. C. T., writes to his mother :—" This is the richest place I ever saw in my life.. If yon were only here and could see this place, you would never want to go back to America. I am rejoiced in the country." The Corresponding Seem-, Lary, Rev.

The Goi-ernor also objects to the pro position as being premature. He says there is as yet little or no evidence of any public sentiment among the people at large in the State in favor of-the proposed charge, and that it is attempted by this act to force a question upon the people and inaugurate a campaign upon an issue which they have not made and In - which they have manifested no interest.
