On Tuesday and Wednesday after ion at four o’clock, and on Thursday morning at nine o'clock, the clergy will chant the office for the dead. The 1 Cathedral will be heavily draped in mourning.

It is requested that no flowers should be sent by the faithfnl, because the deceased Cardinal himself, at the last council of clergy, had a rale passed in opposition to floral emblems being displayed at Catholic clergymen's funerals. It is not known whether the Cardinal made a will, how he has disposed of his personal effects. It is hardly expected he has accumulated much money, for though very frugal and abstenious in his hab its, his generosity was without bounds. A special correspondent of theTimes- Deraocrat from the clastic city of Bos ton, goes into such ecstacy over some good weather that we append a few touches: “The days are heavenly enough to tempt dead people out of their graves, I thought, as I loitered on Treniont street by the side of tho old granary burying ground, where sleep the pa- of Franklin and many other his toric persons, even including a burial so late as that of Wendell Phillips.

Sartoris has been bra ' in his treatment of her, and she doe; want to live w.th him. Should the children ever get to this side the water they will never be allowed to go back again. If Mrs. Sartoris gets possession of them she will probably, after the mourning in the Grant family ends, bring suit for a divorce from the brntal, unappreciative creature she married. This marriage was the regret of Grant’s life.

It is evident that the end ofthis grand and venerable son of the South, this most illustrious citizen of Georgia, is nigh.

It is now in the Sen ate, and no doubt will pass that body with but slight amendment. The bill provides that a competent person shall make quarterly, oroftener.a thorough examination of the affairs of evei banking institution in the State, e: amine its officers on oath, and make port to the Governor. In the evex that any such hanking institution, < branch thereof, shall lie reported by liner to be in an unhealthy condition, the Governor shall proceed at once to take such steps, in pursuance of the laws now in force, or hat may be hereafter enacted, as will irotect the interests of the depositors, tockholdersand creditors of said bank- ng institution or branch thereof.

Should such an examiner willfully make false report be shall b^ imprisoned from two to five years in the peniten tiary. It strikes us that this is a most cellent bill, whose provisions, faith fully executed, will bo a safe-guard to the people, promoting their interests as well as those of the banks.
