The writer enters into what he no doubt

version of the Bible received by the Pro

and sacrilegious amendments," "misinter
pretations," "fake translations," and "per

Word, and winds up his learned discussion
by expressing the opinion that "it would'

to what all this refers—not being con
scious of having in any way or at any time
eigreak — serbattelves — particularly offensive

not in the habit of doing so ; and We are
inclined to think that our indignant corres
pendent is somewhat indebted to his fancy
for his facts. At lout, he seems to be the
only one of all our numerous Catholic
friends who has detected the "insulting

virtuous indignation. Certain it is, that
no such article was prepared by ourselves; 1
if published at all, it was taken from some
one of bur exchanges.

DO , We notice in the York papers the
charge ofludge Fisnan to the Grand Ju
ry of York county, at their last Court.—
We extract the following paragraphs.
Speaking of the law against tippling on the
Sabbath, and the duty of Constables to
search and report all houses offending in
this respect., he says :
"The Court will do all they can to have
this act respected and enforced, and they
desire all the Constables of the Boroughs
and Townships now present to distinctly
understand that the oaths they have taken
to perform their duties with fidelity. bindsl
them •to the execution of the provisions of
i the act of 1705, as imperatively as it does
to perform any other act or duty, and
should any of them be - indicted an this
Court and convicted of a wilful disregard
'of the duties imposed upon them by this
law, the Court will consideeit their duty
to punish them with proper severity."
Again, the Judge remarked :
"That there are too many taverns in this
County is a matter beyond dispute,. but
the evil cannot be remedied by the Court
so long as our respectable citizens sign the
recommendation required by law for-Un
worthy applicants or for places where
*yarns are not required. The Court in
general do not disregard the recommenda
tion of respectahle citizens on this subject.
and in most instances their recommends-'
lions are the only evidence submitted to
the Court. If these recommendations are
incautiously given, taverns are licensed
where none are required. and kept by
persons totally unfit to keep them. We,
therefore. advise that none of our citizens
sign recommendations unless they be well
;assured that every fact stated in them is
literally true."

hitherto, the even tenor of our way.

Russia in the affairs of Hungary :
"Resolved, That we earnestly desire
that the Government of the United States
may exert an influence in some wise
and proper manner against all such inter
venoon as was practised by Russia against
Hungary, during the struggle of the lat
ter with Austria."
The Tariff.
Pr - ' It is stated that Senator James, of
Rhode Island, has prepared a project for a
change in the tariff; which, with the appro
bation of several leading democratic Sena
tors, will be submitted to the Senate in a
few days. It proposes a reduction of the
rates, of duties on some articles of manu
facture that enter into general consump
tion, and increases the rates of duties on
the finer fabrics. It proposes to aid ten
per cent. to the present dtities on iron, and
the same upon fine cotton, and fabrics of
cotton and wool, but leaves the present
system unimpaired in other respects.
The Christiana Trials.
The trial of Samuel Williams, of Phila
delphia, vlored, charged with conveying
information to the Christiana rioters of
the approach of Mr. Gorsuch, which com
menced before the U. S. District Court at
Philadelphia, on Monday, has so far elici
ted nothing new. Geo. L. Ashmesd, Esq.
the U. S. States District Attorney, in his
opening address to the jury, called upon
them to vindicate the laws, regardless of
all sectional feelings. Henry 11. Kline
was then called as a witness for the pros
ecution, but his testimony is only a repeti
tion of that given on the treason trials.—
Lucretia Mott and several other ladies
were present in theoourtanom.

turned from a ,toialn Europe, and in dis
cussing "the presn4.oondition and pros

he gives us the benefit of his own per
sonal observations. The Lecture is writ,
len with ability, and possesses interest for
the general reader as well as for the pro
fession. The concluding passages, in
which the Doctor refers to the coming
storm in Europe, the battering of the "arm
ed giant of Democracy" at the palace doors
—the trembling of anointed kings and mi
tred prieste—and our own exemption' from
the turmoil and confusion of revolutionary
feeling, are quite eloquent.

Maryland Legislature.
IC7.The Legislative of Maryland besot
length been organised, the difficulty in the
Senate arising out of tho contested seat
from Baltimore city being settled-by. four
Whigs voting for the Loeofoco claimant.
Gov. Lowe, on Monday, sent in his annual
Message. It is of almost interminable
length, occupying nine long colums of small
type. A good portion of the Message is
devoted to the Slavery issues, and especial
ly to the Christiana riot. The Gov. gives
a detailed account of that unfortunate dif-
ficulty, using thoslang verbiage of the swell
mob to misrepresent the true facts and give
color to the stovs , He ReohP. tie—lvar
over the faithlessness of Pennsylvania
Courts and Juries, and thinks Maryland has
little to hope for from them. He alludes
to the trial of the notorious kidnappers
Alberti & Price, now in our Penitentiary
for kidnapping a free c)lored child and ta
king it to Maryland last fall—denounces
.the judicial proceedings in that case—and
calls upon the Legislature of Pennsylvania
to provide some mode of redress, by special
enactment, for those mon who are alleged
to be suffering from "the unconstitutional
decisions of tie Courts of Pennsylvania.'
The trial of Caatner Haneway is pronoune•
ed "a farce and an insult to old injury."
The decision of Justice Grier, of the Su
preme Court, in that case on the subject of
the law of treason is ridiculed and pro
nounced absurd. But we shall let Gov.,
Lowe apeake for himself in a passage or
two, by way of illustration of the dignified
temper and tone which run through hie
discussion of this theme. Speaking of
Judge Grier's decision, ho says :
"That decision has closed the doors of
the U. S. Courts ; and the violaters of the
law have gone back to Lancaiter county,
to answer the charge of murder before ju
ries of their own neighborhood. and the
judges of their own local tribunals. How

A despitch from Harrisburg says:
HAIRLINES°, Jan. 14th.—The House
met at 4 o'clock this afternoon. The room
was crowded with ladies, end an immense
concourse filled the Rotunda and blocked
up its passages. When the House was
called to order, almost every seat was oc
cupied by ladies.
rhe greatest excitement prevailed about I
the building, and it was found necessary to
send for the military, who arrived about
5 o'clock and drove the crowd out of lb e
rotunda.
Kossuth, accompanied by the Reception
1 Committee, soon after entered and was
welcomed by Gov. Johnston in a handsome
address, to which Kossuth replied in a
speech of about 15 minutes' duration. The
confusion, however ,was so great that noth
ing could be heard.
Advert Ming.
ICPIt is astonishing to see with what
perseverance some people persist in their
endeavors to succeed without advertising.
Their zeal is worthy of a better fate than
they generally receive. They labor hard
to enter into competition with more sensi
ble rivals, and while they glory in the
small sum saved by not advertising their
business, they fret at and envy the growing
prosperity of their neighbor, who adverti
ses with a free hand and reaps the golden
gains. But if the people will be blind, it
is their Constitutional right. They forget
that this is the locomotive, go-a-head age,
and if people will, in these times of steam
engine telegraph proiressiveuess, still ad
here to that system of advertising which
should be left to gossiping and tattling, it
is their own fault, and they ought to Suff
er. None but the enterprising deserve
good fortune, and they know the benefits

o* - By an arrival at New York from
Kingston, Jamaica, we learn that Admiral
Szymoun, in command of the British
squadron in the West India seas, has re
pudiated the conduct of the commander of
the English brig of war Express, in tiring
at the American steamship Prometheus a
short time since. The outrage must cer
tainly have been very aggravated, when it
is denounced by the Admiral, without his
having received instructions from England.
Irrlt is generally understood that Kos
suth and Capt. Long, of the Mississippi,
had serious difficulties while Kossuth was
on his way from Turkey on board that ves
sel. It has been stated t h at a challenge
passed between them. This, however, is I
denied. The Exeter (N. II.,) News baps
that is authorised by Capt. Long, of the
Mississippi, to say, that Kossuth while on
board the vessel presumed to dictate to the
officers upon subjects over which he had no
n".0" 4 , .nil in a manner that could not be
endured. This Kossuth was made to un
derstand, but no challenge passed between
him and Capt. Long.
eIIEVALIER HULSEMAN AND MR. Watt-
STER—JI Pretty Diplomatic Passage.—
The Wallington correspondent of tbe Phil
adelphia North American, writing on the
12th inst., says :
"While closing my letter at this late
hour of the night. it is announced to me
from a respectable but unofficial source,
that Mr. Hulseman, the charge d'affaires'
from Austria. has addressed a formal com
munication to the President directly—thos
overstepping, the proprieties of official in
tercounie—complaining of the presence
of the Secretary of State at the Kossuth
dinner, and of the sentiments advanced by
him on that occasion. Whether Mr. Web
ster mey consider it proper under such
circumstances to send him his passport or
to give him a second edition of a "certain
letter" to which he refered in the speech,
is more than I *ft venture to predict in the
absence of fuller information."
In a telegraphic despatch of the 13th,
published in the same number of the paper,
the correspondent adds :
"The letter from the Chevalier 'Wise
man to the President, referred to in my
regular communication of last night, was
transmitted yesterday. after the purpose
to do so had been openly announced. It
has not yet reached the Department of
State, but it will be reecived there to-day.
The President acid Mr. Webster had a
private consultation on the subject this
morning. It is not improbable that the
Chevalier's passports will be presented to
him."
orr The friends of Gov. Johnston in
Philadelphia intend to present him with
service of silver plate, worth over $9OO.
licrit is said that Kossuth intends from
H arrisburg to go to Pittsburg, thence to
Columbus, Cincinnati, St. Louis, New
Orleans, Mobile, Savanah, Charleston, and
back to New York—stopping at interme•
diate places as circumstances may require.

two or more sisters married to the same

would be powerless to correct the 'evil,

GONE TO TIM ALNIMOU‘N.—The last
remaining relative of Benedict Arnold
(who honored Norwich by being born
there) was carried to the poorhouse three,
or lour days ago by one of our selectmen.
She was cousin to the traitor and retnem•
hers him well—and spoke with seemijjg
resentment and indignation of his having
been "driven out n f the country." She is
ninety-two years old, and when taken from
the miserable hovel where she and a sinter
of hers, who died three or four years ago,
bail lived, shunned, solitary and in abject
poverty, for many years, the poor old
creature was sitting, without a spark of
fire to warm herself by, although the day
was one of the coldest of the season.
We have never been able to learn that
there was any reason, except in the lepro
sy which clung to the traitor whom it was
their misfortune to be allied to, why this
woman and her sister, neither of whom
were married, should have gone through
life excluded from social life and inter
course by the inexorable ban of society.
Yet such is the fact; and it furnishes a
striking commentary upon the depth and
strength of that feeling of loathing and
execration with which the name of Bene
dict Arnold is linked, now and forever, in
the popular mind. = Norwich (Conn.)

K01161.411 ' S RECEPTION in the United
States is noticed at great length in Eng

speeches are copied. The London Morn
ing Chronicle, in an article upon the dem
onstrations in America, remarks that it is
not among the least insignificant phenom
ena of the present day that the American
people have lately evinced an unmistake
able ambition to mix themselves in the
affair, of Europe, and to take a part in that
contest of principles which must ultimate
ly decide the fate of the European Com
monwealth. It says :
"We are compelled to recognize the
high value and importance of displays
which, despite all drawbacks, indicate a
healthy vigor of opinion and political no
don, and a sound And generous state of
feeling. It has been made clear to the
world that the people of America can yise
above selfish considerations and that they
are anxious to support the cause of politi
cal progress. If this be so, the separation
of die old and new world has ceased to
•exiii—both are knit together by a commu
nity of intdrests. The United State have
taken their place, and assuredly it will not
be a secondary one, in the great European
commonwealth of nations."

, The Catholics of Herrierkti have been
for some time deprived of a regular pastor,
and are only visited monthly by die min
ister from Washington. Mo. The Rev.
F. P. Weninger, of the Boeiely,of Jesus,
during Advent, paid them a visit, sad
through his instrumentality, many were
awakened to a sense of the importance of
religion and of their own situation. Full
of zeal in the cause, and desirous of giving
some testimony of their gladness, they e
erected a cross in that town. This,
it
appears, gave offence to die Radicals, who,
in a secret meeting cut lots as to who
should saw down the cross. The lot tell
"upon a rich brewer, called Bar," who
pawed the ems:in the night, and in the
morning when the people had assembled
to hear mass, crept mit and 'Wow it, down,
and then ran off at full speed. lie was
pursued and arrested, and will be proceed
, ted. It was resolved to erect soother
cross; but in a secure place, and to place
a cast iron statue of the Blessed Virgin
upon the very spot where the sacrilege
had been committed."
01110 DZEOCEATIC STATE CONVENTION -
Declaralion in favor of intervention-,
Comtism, January 10.—The Demo
cratic State Convention. at their session
yesterday, passed a series of resolutions
endorsing the new State Constitution, and
denouncing slavery as an evil which ought
to be eradicated, and its extension prevent
ed by all lawful means, Kilt at the same
time sustaining the principles of the Con
stitution. •
They further declared in favor.of
kitting democratic principles wherever
manifested, and that when one tuition in
terfered in the internal affairs of another
nation, it was a breach of the law of na
tions, and ought to be punislied--thqt as
republicans, sooner than the manifested
republican principles, now existing in Eu
ropean nations, should be crushed, they
were ready to meet the shock of arms un
the battle field to sustain them if necesist
ry—that the weak and timid conduct of
otr Government in sustaining the honor
of our flag, and the interests of our citi
zens, was undignified and humiliating.
The present tariff and system of cur
rency were endorsed, and equal taxation
applauded. After appointing delegates to
the Natarial Convention, they adjourned
with three cheers fur the Ohio Democra
cy.
LATP:II. FROX CALIFORNIA.—Late and
interesting advice' from California, to the
middle of last month, are brought by the
steamer Daniel Webster. The Indian
troubles. which at last accounts gave pro
mise of a sanguinary and murderous con
test, have been happily suppressed. and
the hastily raised troops dishanded. A
painful feature of the news is the appre- .
!tended loss of a large number of lives on
board of the steamer McKim, with that
vessel. The other features of the news
are generally encouraging, and the mining
intelligence good.
HUNGARY.— The latest advices from
Hungary state that for the present all for
eign newspapers are forbidden in Hunga
ry. No passports of any kind, or on any
pretence, are granted for Hungary. which
is to be shut up from the knowledge of
the rest of Europe, as much as China or
Japan. The Austrian newspapers are for
bidden to refer to any movements of the
imperial family, without authority.
COST OF LAYING ABROAD "OFFICIALLY.''
—The State Department, at Washington,
in pursuance of a resolution of Congress,
has addressed circular letters to American
Ministers and Consuls, inquiring the ex
pense of living. Mr. Lawrence answers,
not by saying what it costs him to live in
London, because he fortunately is able to
support any style that he chooses, but by
showing what it costs an American Min
ister to live respectably, ending with a
conclusion that the present salary is not
quite half adequate. Mr. L. pays $O,OOO
a year for house rent, and over $l.OOO for
carriages, horse., coachmen, dm This
leaves but $3,000 for all other expense's.
COUP D'Evsx.—As all newspaper read
ers are not French linguists, an explana
tion of this term may be acceptable. It
means, literally, a stroke of State. as coup
de grace means a stroke of mercy, coup
de soleil a stroke of the sun, &e. The
pronunciation is kgo-da-lah. It indicates
a bold, determined act of higher-law slate
manship regardless of approved rules
and usages.
