R. ITE AT ROME. It will be seen by the following letter, copied from the New York Freeman't Jour that thii Venerable prelate hat, at lait, one ortr to the Roman Catholic Church. To thoie who were acquainted with the rratic wandering! of the Bishop, mind, for wme yean part, hit pretent course it not urpriiing. We are at length enabled to put an end to HI anxiety on the part of tone of our Prot eitant neighbors in reference to the Proles Unt Bishop of North Carolina. He abjured Proteilahtiim, and wai raceired into the Ca tholic Church at Christmas, in the city of Borne, by Mgr. Talbot, formerly an Anglican minister; at present private Chamberlain of Hie Holiness. We learn this by a letter from Rome dated Deo. 30th, in the Univtrst of the 6ih inst. The ea.ne letter informs ns thu a number ol Protestant pontons are labor, ing for the conversion of Mrs. Ires in the oly way they can, wnich is by abusing her hu.band. The following is an extract from he latter in the Univtrt : "Dr. Ues after his arrival at Rome, made Ilia acquaintance of Rt. Rev. Dr. McGill, Bishop of Richmond, and he subsequently applied to Motmigiior Talbot, private camera. Tio to His Holiness, in order to make his sol emn abjuration arid to publicly ptofess the true faith The Holy Father having been informed by Monaignoi Talbot of his happy disposition in this regard, immediately grant ed to the Prelate above mentioned, all the faculties necessary for receiving the abjura tion ; and the Anglican BMiop made, with entimen's of the deepest joy and of the most tender piety, his profession of Catholic faith at the hands of this former Anglican ininislar, who, as well as he, was a convert to tho true faith. The Holy Father chose to administer in person, to the distinguished convert, the Sacrament of Confirmation ; and this ceremony took place on the 26ih Decern, ber, in the private chapel of Mis Holiness.1, "Dr. Ives, by withdrawippjfrom the Protes. lant Episcopal Church in the United States, has renounced a very desirable position in a secular point of view, and hits been compel jed to struggle with family affections and ties of the most intimate character. Dr. Ives is married, and as yet his wife has not followed his example. She has even all along warmly epposed his design, but it is said that she al. ready has begun to defend her husband against the attacks of certain Protestant inin istera who had accompanied the ex-Bishop of North Carolina to Rome. Let us offer tip our prayer that Divine Grace may complete its work, and thai two hearts, so closely united by nature, may be still stronger bound in the profession of the same Catholic faith. "The Rl. Rev. Bishop of Richmond has had the happiness to gain another soul to the Church. He has received the abjuration of an American lady whom he had himself pre pared for the important event. "Besides the above, rtnolhir conversion has also taken place during there festival days. It is that of an eminent personuge: pruden tial motives, for the present, foibid that his name should be made public in the newspa pers.'' Mil. TACGART'S LECTURE. The Pottsville papers, a few w eeks since, contained a favorable notice of a lecture delivered by David Taggart, Esq. of North umberland, at the Pottsville Lyceum. Mr. Taggart selected for his subject the well known text, ''Knowledge is Power." We have looked over this production, which is highly creditable to Mr. Taggart's literary abilities, and regret that want of space pre vents us giving our readers more than the following extracts : "The untaught barbarian, nay ! he among ourselves, to whom the great science of Astronomy is a sealed book, gazes up to the Heavens, and to him the stars arc as beauti ful as the lamps which decorate your streets. The azure vault moves him less than the painted and sculptured dome of a theatre. You look up to them, and in each glearing star, you behold not a world, but greater than a world, a mighty heat giving and light giv ing jtm, around which revolve, a family of worlds, peopled duubtless with creatures, whose souls are as aspiiing and deathless as our own, worlds that for unnumbered ages, have borne their loads of mortality Irom the cradle to the grave. But your active educa ted minds pauses not here. It looks beyond the visible into the Immeasurable Invisible, and reflect that if all could be seen, the more distant as well as the nearer, the Heavens would present an unbroken blaze of stellar light. And much more even than this, it would reflect that every sun thus seen, would stand between you and ten thousand thou sand other suns, more distant but not less mighty than itself, and every orb the centre of worlds, and every world ciowded like our cm with countless forms of life, for the in comprehensible spirit of the universe has created nothing in vain ! And after all re. fleet that your mightiest conception is but an atom a grain of sand on the Ocean Shore of the Universe. Let us speak briefly of the power which knowledge confers upon nations. The Ancient Bab) Ion lifted up her giant head over a people skilled in arts, and who could boast more knowledge than the bar baric hordes that surrounded her. Her colos sal fanea were reared by no untutored hands The outside barbarians looked on her vast wails and her well drilled hosts with admira tion and fear, and paid tribute to their mighty neighbors, mighty because skilled in art, -these feeble because ignorant. Bu. Babylon, enriched a .id besotted by thn spoils of conquered nations -of Egypt, Nineveh and Jerusalem, fell at last before a people, who had learned her cunning, but despised her vices. Thebes, Babylon, Greece, Rome have ruled the world by turns, aa they excelled in knowledge, and lost it only when beaatly sensuality and intemperance had banished the frugality and the discipline of their wier and manlier years. . But it ie unnecessary to appeal to antiquity for our witneasea. In later years, a band of civilized men, a mere handful onder the lead of the skilful Cortes, subdued rich end pop ulous empire defended by spirits ai brave and devoted aa ever bled for home and coun try. But patriotism and courage were no bulwarks against the thunder voiced armi of the invaders. Mexico yielded up her gold to the conqueror, and her people became his slaves. Skill once more triumphed over ig norance. But day of retribution came. The falcon bad struck down her prey, and gloated ever her pofse.sion . But a mightier bird soared above her, and the falcon fell be fore the eagle. In her stolen eyrie, among her long claimed mountains, her murdered victim was avenged ! Let us drop the figure. Three centuries ago, few hundred Spaniards overran and conquered the ancient and populous empire of Mexico, the result of skill and auperior knowledge. Three hundred years afterwards nation mightier still, for the same cause, sent her armies and world renowned gener als, and with odds almost aa great in their favour, the descendants of the conquerors were conquered. Over the Mexican Capital, floated in triumph a striped and starry Flag. And again ignorance had fallen befoie know ledge ! But knowledge has yet more in store for us. When cultivated man shall have learned all that it is possible for him to know, he will be further in advance of his present po sition, than he now is in advanco of the un couth and miserable barbarian. If it were given to man, to comprehend all the laws of nafri re, poverty, wretchedness, vice, disease and premature death would be diiven from the world. Strange as it may appear, infan cy would not die. Youih would live out its 4 or 5 scoie years. Early manhood would not be stricken down into an unnatural grave, Tho mother would not be called upon to mourn for her child, murdered by ignorance, before it had learned to lisp her name. The father would not be summoned to the death bed ef his son or daughter, passing away in all the bright promise o( youth and beauty. The orphan would not be found weeping over the craves of parents cut ofl in the use. fulness of middle life. Pallid sickness and disease would (leo before knowledge. We would eat no food, but that w hich would con tribute to our health and strength. We would breathe no miasmatic air, for we would suffer none to exist. Even accidents would be banished. We would shun the falling tree and the crushing rock. We would not trust the whelming ocean until fully prepared to meet its dangers. The very thunderbolt would be anticipated and avoided. From the time of his fullest maturity, man would wear gradually away, like a machine that had been well made and well kept, servicea ble to the lust In short, clothe him with this peifect knowledge of material things, and he will walk the wotld for an hundred years, in all the vigor of uncontaminated and unbroken manhood. If this perfection of wisdom shall ever be attained, men and women will be bred with the same certainty in regard to form, intel lect and morals, as the painter decorates his canvass, or the sculptor moulds his maible. The earth will yield up her fruits abundant ly to easy labor. Men shall cease to be toil worn slaves. The elements modified and converted, even more than now will be his servants, hew his wood, draw his water, cul tivate his fields, and minister to every want and every pleasure. "Ajr ! were ii't man to die, H were loo mighty fur thii nnrruw sphere ! Had he but time to brood on knowledge here Cnuld he but train hii eye. Mit ht lie but wait the myatie word and hour, Only hii Maker would transcend hii power. Earth haa no mineral strange, Th' illimitable air ns hidden winge, Water no quality in covert springe, A nd fire no power to change, Seaaone n myetery, and atara no ipell, Which the bnwaaling tout might not compel."

MASSER, youngest son of Heury Mssser, Esq., of this place, and brother lo the editor ol this paper, aged 3U years. Death ie always an unweloome messenger, even to the aged and deorspid whose sands of life have nearly run out, but bow much more so when youth, in the prime of man hood, is suddenly cut eff. It is but a few years since, when the de ceased left all the endearments and comforta of home, to seek his fortune in the South His social qualitiea and generous disposition never failed to make him friends, wherever he was known or hia lot was east, whilst an active mind and versatile talents enabled him to adapt himself to any of the ordinajy pursuits of life wi:h aucoess. In the fall of 1847 he located himself in a small village in the interior of Louisiana, and not having, at the time, any other employment, he turned to account for a short lime, a six months ama teur apprenticeship in this office, at an editor and compositor of the paper in the town of his adoption, and in either capacity he was an honor to the craft. About a year after he was taken into partnership, in the Mercantile business, bye friend and capitalist, with ev ery prospect of success, when in a few months his partner died, and the business waa closed In Ihe following year he wasagain in business) full of hope, when in a very brief time his partner fell a victim to that dreaded scourgei Ihe cholera. These untoward events, to gether with a climate that made inroads upon a constitution naturally delicate, exhausted his energies and weakened his frame. His thoughts were, therefore, anxiously turned lowards home a home endeared to him by as many ties and aa many sincero friends, as ardent youth, buoyant with hopea had ever left. Some weeks since, he embarked on the steamer "Bay State" at New Orleans, bound for Cincinnati. Ho was then very sick, and the Captain advised him lo remain under medical treatment, al New Orleans. But ho replied that he was "anxious to reach home," that haven of rest to every pilgrim on earth. He continued to crow worse, dai ly, until Ihe day previous to their arrival at Gaiu'tf Landing, Arkansas, where he quietly breathed his last. His remains were interred at the latter place, from whence they will soon bo brought to their final resting place home. To his relatives and friends, it is a source of great consolation, to know from the Cap tain of the steamer that every possible at tention nnd comfort was afforded him, by the physician, officers and passengers on board, and all that human aid could peiform was kindly bestowed.

"Thrre ie no 6reiide howsVer defended But haa one vacant chair " The call "lo come up higher," although welcome to Ihe weary pilgrim, w hose years have out-numbeted threescore and ten is a mournful summons to the fireside circle. Oil ! death leaves mnny lonely homes, many vacant seats, and, sadder still - many desolate hearts! There are snmlerinc of ties, never again to be reunited upon earth, breaking up of old associations, never again to bu renewed ; parting from those with w hotn to part fur a few brief years on earlh, is agony, those whose presence makes our life-pai hall sunshine; whose death enshrouds that .same path-way in midnightsgloom; those w hose blessing and counsel were ever wel come to our hearts, with whom we journeyed on year after year, until they seemed part of our very selves. One after the other their places are vacated on eatth, leaving the cir. cle broken, and the heart saddened and be reaved. Rut how beautiful the arrangement of Providence, that the very desolation of spirit felt, when beloved ones ate removed, should be the means ol attracting our thoughts to heaven, and calling our affections (which are so prone to cling to earthly objects) from our mournful homes on earth, to that imper ishable home, where change can never come. The friend whose name heada this brief notice, has been one of our number, accus tomed to go in, and out, among us, for a long period of time. Forty-five years ago, this little villain become her home, and here have occurred all ihe joys, traits and changes, w hich usually mark a long life. Many years since, she became a widow, other changes followed, subduing herspiiit, but she uttered no word of repining. The heart was gentle and submissive, and under all the trials with which God saw fit to visit her, there was ever tho same implicit trust in his guidance and his care.. Eleven years agu she was sorely afflicted wilh paralysis, since then she has 1 i veil in constant anticipation of death. Under all this sorrow she ever greeted her friends wilh the same cheerful smile, and her heart remained unwavering in her God. She loved the society of christians, and though debarred by ill health from active exertion in the cause of Christ, her interest and her prayers were ever with his people. Her kindness and hospitality will long be remem bered, enemies, she had none. Friends, many, who will treasure her memory, but w ho cannot regret that a spirit like hers, has been called lo a more fitting home than this decaying tabernacle. Her departure, at last, was sudden, unex pected to herself, and thus dear to her. A severe illness of some weeks duration had prostrated her, but she had been restored again to comparative health. While enga ged al her noonday meal, death's messenger came, a moment of agony, and her spirit left its home on earth, for the place prepared for it ia heaven. Oh change ! Oh wondrous change ! Durst all the prison bars, Thie moment here, so low In tuoital prayer and nov Beyond the stars ! Oh ! change ! stupendous change ! Here bee the eenteleae clod, The soul froea bondage breaks.
