These lights are supposed to have been those of the long lost Pacific. Tho Skiproips could not pet near enough to ascertain whether it was the PaciDc or not. The Tacific left Liverpool on Junnnry 23d, and if she entered the ice on the 10th day ont, the 2d of February, she would have been about two weeks in the ice when the Bkiproips Sow the steamer's lights. The Peace Conference continued its sit ting at Paris, considering the minor details. Peace had been proclnimed at St. Peters burg, and was favorably received. The Con ference was not expected to get through with its labors for a month or more. The U. S. Mediterranean squadron was obont to cruise off the coast of Spain. Mr. J.

Tho Schoin berg has pone ashore near Callibrand river. Nearly the wholo of the passengers together with the European mails, wero transferred to the steamer Queen, and landed at Melbourne without loss of life or limb. There were 10(5 men of the officers and crew. Of these, forty men went en shore, headed by the boatswain. These took their chests and other property. About eight casks, Containing biscuit, bottled porter, brandy uml other stores, were sent on shore by the purser, who nccompank'd them. Tue man erected a hut on shore.

The question "ure all men created equal" was discussed. The question for debate next meeting will be "It it probuble England will ever become a republic." It is probuble the Society will adjourn for the Summer mouths at its next meeting. Lec tures will be resumed again in autumn. The few gentlemen who were itisliummitul in founding and sustaining tho Society deserve much credit. In a town where there are so many young men, it is a pity more can not be induced to devote one evening in a week to so goo J a cause. We can not complain of the size of the audience, but do not understand why so few could be prevailed upon to parti cipate in the exeiciees. We hope the next year will see an improvement in this respect, and intend to give our youth a full hearing, at some time or other, on this subject. Some weeks ago wc recommended, in advance of its publication, a worn published by T. B. Peterson, No. 102 Chesnut street, Philadelphia, underthe title of -'Courtship and Marriage." We were led, from the prospectus, to believe that tho work was a new one. We have received a copy and found it a revampment of a number of old tales which wore published separately long ago. The stories are very good in them selves and their republication may bo very gratifying to those who had not provioasly read them ; but we desire to protest against any such deception as publishing old stories under a new name for tho purpose of im posing on the public. Any publishers who send us deceptive notices, may rely upon an exposure as soon as the trick is discovered. We do not desire to impose upon our readers and will not do so under any consideration. TltEVOrlTO.V There is a place in Tennfylvania known as Trevorton Manor, which has been described as being "covered with stones, and under each stone there were fifteen rattlesnake ; and nothing but hemlock knots and huckleberries wore produced in addition to stones and rat lleiiiakes." The citixens of this thriving town will pro. bably be surprised to see the above extract from the columns of the -Saturday Evening Post," dated April 10th, published by Deacon 4 Peterson, Philadelphia. It is said that in a country progressing with such a rapid stride as the United States, new maps should bo publithed twice a jear. and judging from tho lamentable ignorance or the geography of their ov, n tlate displayed by the publishers of the ubovo. no ono will be inclined to dispute tha assertion. Philxdcl phians arc too much prone to consider that city tie whole ttate. "The visual line" of brick and. mortar "which girts them roond," is "the world's extreme." But the publiiben of periodicals professing to instruct the peo ple ought at least to be silent upon subjects they know nothing about, and thus avoid the dissemination cf error.

In this they are highly Culpable. It is too tnnch the habit of editors to publish all kinds of outrageous statements and exngpr. ations, without t ikiug the trouble to examine their truth or fulsity.

In I8.r)0 it might have answered the description above, as far as "rattlesnakes' were concerned. A lo house in the middle ofasmH clearing was the only mark of civi- lization visible. The deep and narrow dell was covered by a Btately forest full of limpid springs, wild flowers and singing birds. Tall mountains, gloomy with sombre pines, and huge gray rocks, frowned down upon the quiet vule. But those rude mountains are full of that great source of wealth to our state. An thracite coa , and just nt the spot where Trevorton now stands they are cleft to their base by Zerbe's Gap ; thus opening a way to the mineral resources within. The eagle eye of enterprise pierced tho gloom of the forest, and the hand of improvement speedily fid. lowed. Simultaneously with the full of the giant oaks, a town arose. Merchant, artezan and laborer crowded thither. In nix months the scene had perfectly changed. A railrond was commenced from the mines to tho Sus quehanna, and is now completed nnd in suc cessful operation. A bridge, of over a mile iu length, connects it with the Pennsylvania j canal, where the enterprising company have ! dug ont an extensive basin, and substantial ! wharves, Bchntes, screens, and every facility for fln(j rapid 8llipnlpnt ofcoa, has been erected. Just inside ofthe Gap. eight veins, varying from C to 30 feet in thickness, of beautiful anthracite coal are opened and being worked. Coal breukers nnd sawmills stand side by side to assist in the work of mining nnd prepara tion for market. The sharp exhaust of the stationary engine, the rattle nnd jar of ma chinery and tho shrill steam whistle have drowned tho voices of the birds and mountain rills. So .ar from producing only hemlock knots, the mines of Trevorton ore capable of producing coal enough to supply tnc city or Philadelphia for a hundred years to come. The population consists of about f00 pcrsonst all laborers mid producers the bouo nnd sinew of the country. The author cf tho said paragraph has never seen Trevorton. If he should find his way to the top of tho Mahanoy mountain some bright morning in June and have a glimpse of that little valley in which it lies he would think some wild dream of fairyland were realised.

Parodi, who has occupied almost as large a sphere iu the musical world, as Jenny Lind gave a concert this evening at the Musical Fund Hall. The room, thongh not crowded was well filled with tho elite and fashionable portion of Philadelphia, and strangers in th city. Parodi is only about 28 years old, stout and inclined to corpulency. She has great power and compass of voice, aud in operatic petformances has no snperior. Her voice, however, is not so musical as Sontag's, nor so clear as Jenny Lind 'a. She was assisted by Madame Strakosb, whose performance gave great satisfaction. Parodi is single and wealthy, as she well may be, with the receipts vihich her concerts yield her. Her agent, an intelligent Anstrian. told me that her seven teen concert in New Orleans yielded ber nineteen thousand dollars., It would not take long to acquire a fortune at this rate. Politics, in the city, are In a doubtful state, although the impression is that Yaux, tha democratic candidate for Mayor will be elec ted.

The cause assigned for this measure w-us the ac tive part which the priesthood of that city had taken inaKriainar the people to rebellion. The Archbishop of Puebla endeavored to re sist the decree of sequestration by threaten ing to excommunicate all who were concerned. The commandant of Puebla, however, disre garded this threat, and with an armed force went to the Cathedral and seized the records nnd evidences of property deposited there. Tho property made avnilablo under this da cree, will exceed, it is said, forty millions of dollars. This a-t of Comonfort is a sign of returning vigor in tho Government. The Church has always been thn great stumbling block to the prnperity of Mexico. Monopo lizing pretty nearly till tho wealth of tho country, it possesses power cquul to the Go vernment, and is oltcn round arrayed against it. Large as its possessions ore, amounting, it is said, to 8400.000,000, its property is freo from taxation, nnd hence gives no support to the Government for the protection it receives. This vast wealth yields tho clergy nn annual income of about twelve millions of dollars. The Chureh establishment thus supported, consists of the Archbishop of Mexico and 9 bishops, whose aggregate income amounts to 530,000. The number of the parochial clergy is 3.07". There are also ten cathe drals, having one hundred and sixty-eight ciiiioiis nnd other dignitaries, and ono collegi ate church. The regular clergy comprise 1,078 monks, chiefly Franciscan, and there ure one hundred and fifty-six convents. Tho King of Spain, in 1801, ordered about seven millions of the. funds of these religious foun dations to be seized and confiscated.-Ledger. AGIUITLTLH AL..
