Melancholy Steamboat Explosion . — Ten Lives Lost. —We;
learn from the Charleston Evening News, tint the steamer
Richland blew up and burnt to the water’s edge at or under
Britton’s Ferry, on her wav from Cheraw to Georgetown,

Funds for the Pope- —lt is not improbable that Roman
Catholics throughout the world will be called upon to con
tribute money to relieve the Pope from his present dillioul
ties, and place him in an independent position. Something
of this kind is hinted nt by Bishop 1 lugbes, of New York,
who says :—‘*S lonerthan we should see him( tfie Pope) sub
ject to any Sovereign, or President, or petty Prince, 01 King,
we should have recourse to the old institution, and Pctcr
pence from tverv . point of the compass would constitute a
treasury to raise him above that subjection, even though he
should occupv an island in the Mediterranean sea, a single
square mile in extent ”

FOURTEEN DAYS LATER FROM EUROPE. j
The steamer Canada, which arrived at this port on Mon-■
duv evening last from Liverpool, brings us fourteen days la
ter news from Europe. We give space to the most impor
tant intelligence, which comes from Fiance and Italy.
England. —The cholera, which had abated in England,
has b. come as fatal as when at its highest point. It broke
out with great violence among the pauper children of Lon
don, residing at Tooting, four miles south of the Thames.—
The California gold fever was raging more violently than
the cholera. Business prospects were considered good.—!
Cotton was a shade higher, but breadstufis were lower, and
Atnericau provisions genet ally were dull.
France. —The Monileur of the 30tb ult. publishes three!
decrees of the President of the Republic, appointing, Ist, !
M. Leon Fuucher Minister of the Interior, in the place of M.
Leon de Malleville, whose resignation had been accepted;;
2d. M. Lacrosse, Vice-President of the National Assembly, !
Minister of Public Works, in the place of M. Leon People,
Minister of Agriculture and Commerce, in the piace of M.
Bixio, whose resignation had been accepted.
Republican Rome.. —A correspondent, writing on the 30th
ult., says : “Yesterday evening, at sunset, the Castle of St.
Augelo, by the consecutive discharge of 101 guns, announced;
to this metropolis and the world in general, that the dynasty ;
which had reigned over Rome for 1,043 years, has come to I
a close,and anew government is to lie called into being by
the mandate oft he whole population assembled in a constitu
ent representative body by universal suffrage; the great
boll of the Capitol, which only tolls at the death of a Pope,
pealed solemnly. It was exact!}’ on the 24th November,
(the fatal night of the flight of Pio Nono.)that in the year of
our Lord 800, Charlemagne arrived in Rome to be crowned
on (’hristmas dav ofthatyearby Leo Iff. and to institute
nnd formally corroborate the donation of Pepin by the erec
tion of the Papal Sovereignty.”
Afterwards, on tire Ist inst., a civic fete took place at
Romo, in which the clubs of Florence nnd other cities of
- Tuscany took part. Almost all the batallioas of the civic
; guard promenaded the streets with the tri-colored banner.
The Rope. —The. Pope is in great despondency at Gaota ;
but Austria, Naples and Spain seem to be forming an alliance
with a view to aid him.
One of tlie Paris papers of Tuesday, says:—“lt is an
nounced that the Pope, wishing to avoid foreign intervention.;
intends to trv a personal step. He will, it is said, goto
Civita Vecchia, and the re make an appeal to the people,;
which, if not responded to, things will take their course.' 1

“Leaves have their time to fall,
Ami flowers to wither at the north wind’s breath,
And sitars to set—hut all,
Thou hast all seasons for thy own, O death!”
Died, on the 20 inst., nfler a long and protracted illness ot
Pulmonary consumption, at his residence in Burke county,
Ga., Mr. James Chance, in the 63d year of his age. This
aged and most estimable man after having been long spared
to the circle of his attached friends, a connecting link between
them, bus by the gradual decay of nature, reached the close
of a long life in the tranquil serenity of a perfect resignation
to God's holy will, and an assured hope of eternal life through
the merits of Christ Jesus. A week-before bis death, ho ex
pressed to his attending physician, and myself, bis readiness
and willingness, to leave tills world, feeling well assured that
his hope was without a shadow of doubt. Mr. Chance was a
member of the Baptist cliarch, and remained so up to the,
lime of his death, a firm, consistent happy Christian, fully!
prepared for his heavenly home, waiting in perfect resigna-j
tion until his change should come. He quietly fell asleep in
Jesus, realizing to the last the support of his blessed grace,’
cheered with the sure and certain prospect of the life ever
lasting of the world to come. He has left an affectionate
wife and several sons, with many friends to mourn his loss,
and yet rejoice in his end.

DESIGN AND LOCATION.
This Institution is designed to be a School, in which the young
of the female sex may he judiciously and thoroughly trained, in a
literary, scientific, and ornamental course of instruction, under cir
cumstances the most favorable fertile cultivation of their manners
and morals.
‘Plie village of Ponliehl was selected for educational purposes, by
the founders of Mercer University, and the experience of fifteen
years has confirmed the wisdom of their choice. It is convenient
of access, being 7 miles from Greenesboro; 9 from Union point, on
the Geo. Hail Road; and 4 from Woodville, on the Athens Branch.
APPARATUS.
The Seminary is supplied with apparatus for the illustration of
the different subjects in Natural Philosophy and Chemistry. The
Cabinet contains many specimens in Geology, Mineralogy and Con
chology. The pupils not only witness the experiments, which are
accompanied by informal lectures, but receive instruction in the
manipulations of the laboratory.
EXAMINATIONS.
Examinations are held not only at the close of each session, but
also at the end of every fifth week, at which times a statement of
the progress nnd delinquencies of each pupil, together with a report
of her daily employments, is s'nt to her parent, or gu irdian. The
examinations a’ tins Seminary are thorough and strictly impartial.
They are conducted by lot, iri such a manner, that neither teacher
nor pupil can know beforehand what part of each study will be the
subject of examination.
BOARDING HOUSE.
‘! Young Ladies boarding in the family of the teachers receive those
‘offices of maternal care and kindness which are needed for their
health and comfort. Though under such restraints with respect to
manners, company, and the employment of time, as judicious anil
anxious parents know to be necessary in a well-conducted boarding
;-Shook it is nevertheless confidently expected that they will be ren
dered happy in themselves, and in the society of each other, and of
; their instructors.
