Mrs Stowc, in her last contribution to the Independent, has the following: Yesterday afternoon we went to tho Church of the Ava Coali, to see the miracle-working Bambino. The priest put on vestments and lit candles, and unlock ed with solemn reverence a little coffin a foot and a half long, lined with white gold embroidered silk, and there lay the ugliest little wooden doll that eyes ever rested on. Said doll is said to have been car ved from olive wood on the Mount of Ol ives, and painted by St. Luke, and is cov ered from head to foot with jewels which attest the miracles it has wrought dia monds, emeralds, rubies, saphircs, from various prinoosses and royal personages to whom it has been sent For the pay ment of a certain sum, tho Bambino is carried in state through tho street to the relief of any sick person, psalms being chanted in its honor. An American gentleman, while look ing at it the other day, inquired if it could cure weak eyes. Tbo prieat answered in the afiirmative. The gentleman then said he should like to try it for his, which were ailing. "How long will the benefit probably last?'' ho added. 'Are you a ProtestantaL" said the Priest. "Yes." Tho priest immediately, began to laugh, and had quite a little time joking over tbe whole affair. In the church when we entered was a large congregation of tho very poorest peoplo, with their rough gblack hands, shabby, dusty clothes, and that .peculiar ; air of dilapidated gently which marks the lower clauses here. They were listening ' with nrofound seriousness to a Franciscan friar, who, in hi rough, brown wool gown, tied round his waist, and with a little black cap on his head, preaching with the ut most earnestness. As I looked at him I could not but think -what capacities for eloquence a?e show us another; which he gravely infor- mcd us was tbe richest in Rome. tT1 We went, therefore, to the church of St. A gusta, where wo found an image of the Madonna and Child, completely covered with watches, seals, chains, rings jewels of all shapes, sizes and settings, the whole inside of the church being in like manner covered with offerings, among which largo silver hearts appeared to be the most fa vorite artioie. Pictures on the wall ex- pressed various miracles wrought by this image a child preserved from being run over by a horse, people rescued from drowning, fire, and other accidents were portrayed with more or less vigor, each picture being a representation of some votary memorial of tho event chronicled. The whole church was filled with a murmur of prayers, whioh a mul titude of people on their knees were heard reciting. Drawn up in hollow squares round the side aisles of the church were classes of children with a priest instructing them to repeat the Credo, the Ava Maria, and tbo Paternoster in.Latin. A class of these little fellows surrounding a grey-haired old monk, particularly struck me rag ged, unkept, unwashed, they were yet so bright and intelligent looking; and all with such dark, soft oyes, and many of them so handsome, that one could not help wishing there were somo saint in tbe Romish Calendar who presided over soap and water.

Gunpowder Superseded. Sir Macdonald Stephenson, writes to the London Times, describing a new mor tar upon which he is now engaged : "It consists of the application of higb-pros-sure steam to produoo great centrifugal velooity, and the angle of discharge of the shot or shell is regulated by very sim ple mechanism. No gunpowder is used. Every description of missile can bo dis charged, and if necessary, tho boulders or beach stones can be used. The mor tar canbo kept in continuous operation, loaded and discharged by two men. Tbe range varies from 800 to 2000 yards, ac cording to the velooity, angle of elevation, and dimensions of shot. Ten or more shots can be discharged for every single discharge of tbo ordinary mortar. In tho original plan I proposed to apply a rotary steam engino to impart high cen trifugal force to a cylinder of about seven feet dianjetcr, near the contre of which the shot are inserted, and pass down tha arms or epokos to the periphery, were they are relained by tbo apparatus, whioh is regulated to release them at the precise time required.

OPENING OF THE CAMPAIGN. How the Nominations arc Received. OPINIONS OF THE PRESS. From The jt Y. Su7i, (.fccinoera,) Liucolo'a nomination is considered a do not conceal their vexation, and they openly soy that, if either Douglas or Houston be nominated at Baltimore, tbe State of New York will go against the Chicago nominee by a large majority. From The N. Y. Sunday Adas, (Dem.) The nomination of Lincoln and Hamlin will be received with immense enthusiasm The three Middle States wo have men- , f- , n . rriiA u flf, i)PBnn , .f ft candidate is eclectedjbut that candidate is not Stephen A. Douglas , who would be beateD n eacb of theS tneso States by thousands of voles, , c ' - uu i Give us Seymour or Guthrie, or both of them, and the battle will sorely bo won for thc Dem ocracy and its principles. If ihn Balti more Convention will nominate Horatio Seymour for the Presidency, he will to a certainty receive the vote of tbe State of New-York, which, added to tbe entire vote of tbe South, would be sure for such a candidate, the victory for the Democrat ic party will be as sure as thc rising of j the sun on the election day. It is quite time for all true Democrats wbo desire to see tbe Republican party beaten, and the standard of the Democ racyonce more triumpbaut in be Union, to stop talking about thc nomination of Douglas. The handwriting on tho wall, to which we would call the attention of : tbc deegale3 who are to aESombIe at Bal i timore on thc 17tb June, is thus interpre ted by us "Douglas and Defeat ooy . mour and Success I" ' From The Boston Herald, (Doutlas.) i The nomination, in many respect?, is a strong one, and will be difficult to defeat; and those who flatter themselves that tho Democrats are to walk over tbe Presiden tial course with ease, will find thotslves mistaken. The Convention at Cbieago has given evidence of shrewdness, no less in the nomination of Mr. Lincoln than in the platform adopted, whih is progrcs . .., . , . i ?. sive wituout ceing ultra; auu, uuists u m j ,..We ?eDturo to sayj- declares j Cincinnati Gazette, "that there is not in the whole West a man wbo stands higher . . c, t, , . . ft.. in nnnn nr nnnfirlnnpn than 1 Jltl ABC Liin- r-r coin.

The Reading Journal, in publishing some extracts from a speech recently de livered by Mr. Liocolu, thus refers to him "A Heory Clay Whig, and the do mencan industry, which circumstance should make him acceptable to the Oppo sition in Pennsylvania who (if tbe standard-bearer is not to be-selected from our own State) will search in vain for one who will better ropresont their interests, or in whose person are combined more of tbe requisites necessary for the faithful disohargo of the duties conneetod with the executive chair of tbis great country." Lincoln and Hamlin on Staten Island. The Republicans of tbo North Shore met in largo oumbors on Saturday even ing to ratify tbe Chicago nominations.
