1 00 On m 7 arrival in Borne, some two weeks ago,
it was confidently expected that the King would
make his formal entry into the new capital of
his dominions about the 18th or 20th of the
present month, and I therefore hoped that I
would be able to write a letter from Rome on a
subject which would have, at least, the recom
mendation of novelty. Fortune, however, has
not favored me, and the entry of his Majesty
having been postponed until the middle of No-

Victor Emanuel, has determined to exercise ex
clusive authority over the very small portion of
territory to which his temporal power is now
restricted, and so he has closed the museum
and galleries of the Vatioan to all comers.
Borne, without the Vatican, is shorn of half of
its charms, and this fact is abundantly demon
strated by the pancity of strangers now in the
city—that Palace, with its unparalleled collec
tions of painting and sculpture, being the prin
cipal attraction to visitors. A very strong pres
sure has been brought to bear upon the Rev
erend Father by the hotel keepers and mer
chants, through the columns of the press, but
he has thus far withstood them all. He main
tains that these great treasures of art have been
collected almost exclusively by the Pope, and
are, in many instances, the offerings of private
devotion to the Church, and that consequently
they ought to be considered the property of the
Church, and not of the temporal government.
The force of this argument I cannot see, as it
appears to me that, if the people are entitled to
the benefits of government property, much
more ought they to reap the fruits of the vast
xesources which their own liberality, or the
Church’s extortion, has thrown into the lap of
the latter power. Suffice it to say that I, along
with a good many other Americans, am in
Rome, and ifnable to see the Vatioan, which
fact, of itself, is enough to prevent me from
seeing the justice of any proceeding by which
such a state of affairs is produced. I hear that
when the King arrives he will put a new aRpeot
upon matters, but by that time I will be far
away ou my journey homeward, and this fact,
therefore, but adds fael to the flame of my dis
appointment.
Our stay in Rome being necessarily very lim
ited, on toe morning after our arrival we con
cluded to put ourselves under the guidance of a
‘"cicerone," in order to begin toe task of “see
ing the sights”—qnickly and in order. I had
been led to believe, by gnide-books and travel
lers’ letters, that these “valets deplace," were a
very disagreeable kind of necessity, and always
to be dispensed with if possible. Such, how
ever, has not been my experience in Italy, the
only country where I have had much need for
their services. I have almost invariably found
them intelligent, accommodating and trustwor
thy, and so far from combining with the natives
in their various swindlingoperations, they seem
always anxious to protect their employers. My
guide in Romo is a particularly intelligent and
amusing character, and I think if oar friend
“Mark Twain” had undertaken to “quiz” him,
-~y'nt,Mredrathor an unman-
agable ‘‘subject. “Murray's'’ and “iiaede-
ker’s” gnide-books are as familiar to him as
“household words,” while the history of Rome,
both ancient and modern, is at his tongue’s end.
His knowledge of every myth and fable of
Qreek and Roman mythology is absolutely won
derful, and his quotations from Livy, Pliny,
and even Shakespeare are marvelously frequent
and appropriate. I would as soon think of
“quizzing” the shades of the last named illnstri-
us personages as of “making game” of this
walking encyclopaedia. Having soon found ont
toe character of our guide, we allowed him to
taka us to snoh places as he thought most wor
thy of our attention, and before toe shades of
evening began to fall, we found that we had
done the most prodigious day’s wook ever re
corded in our annals of sight-Beeing. It wonld

this letter, merely to mention, in their order,

from tbe Imperial times, which still remains
tntire. It stands in the lowest portion of toe
present city, the floor being frequently flooded
by the overflowing of the Tiber, while close
around are built vast piles of filthy, dirty
houses, not one of whose tenants,' perhaps,
ever turns an eyo of admiration on the grand
' and beautifnl proportions' of 'Ills wonderful
neighbor. Stained and scarred with age; .the
details of the building present none of the at
tractions which must have rendered it, at one
time, pre-eminent among toe architectural
beauties of ancient Rome. Now, the proper,
i tions of the magnificent portico, and tbe gran
deur of its dome—the largest in the world-
alone serve to convey any idea of its former
glory. The interior isiighted solely by a cir
cular opening in toe centre of tbe dome, which,
' being entirely uncovered and open to the sky,
produces an effect more striking and deeply
impressive than I can attempt to describe. The
braiding has long since been oonsecrated as a
Christian churcb, and under one of itsaltam lie
the remains of the immortal Raphael. 'Bor
many years the “Academy of St. Luke” pre-
serrad. in a glass case, what purported to be
the skull of toe great painter, and it was there
worshipped by the faithful, and admired by
conniseenrs, for tha exceeding beauty of its
outlines. Korn* doubts about the authenticity
of this precious relio having been suggested,
this tomb in tbe Pantheon was opened, when
lo ! the body was found entire. The skull which
had been so greatly admired was proven to ba
that of a very ordinary man. Oh! tha beauties
of “humbnggery!”
About St. Peter’s Church I must have a word
or two,altbongh only a repetition of what every
body baa said before me. I had bean prepared
to be disappointed in my first impressions of
its siae, and thought that I had so schooled my
self that disappointment would be impossible.
So perfect, however, is toe proportion of every
thing in toe buildjng to the building itself, that
yon are deceived in regard to the siae of every
thing around you, no matter how great an (al
lowance yon make. I was steading about thirty

geniality with him. the verv mention of the name a feeling of dread
comes over me. Indeed I believe that a regu
lar season of sight-seeing in Italy gives a m»^
such a surfeit of churohes, that on his return to
quiet and rest at home he usually abnn« church
going altogether for awhile. Each of the 350
churches in Rome has four filthy beggars in at
tendance at the door from morning until night,
and each of them, on toe approach of a visitor,
has some particular office to perform for hinn
One opens the carriage door, a second invites
him np toe stops, a third opens the door of the
sacred edifice, while the fourth looks on to see
it well done—and of course they all hope to re-
ceive 'some compensalisn for their services.
This is, to me, one of the most disagreeable
features connected with sight-seeing in Rome—
(and Rome is but a sample of toe rest of Italy)—
for more than two-thirds of these creatures are
deformed and distorted in the most horrible
manner. The thought that in order to view the
treasures of art which these churches contain,
yon are compelled to pass through this mass of
miserable humanity, is certainly calculated to
mar toe effect naturally to be expected from
toe contemplation of anything beautifnl or
sublime.
Next to toe Vatican, the stranger in Borne is
most interested in its wonderful ruins, the pic
turesque beauty and solemn grandeur of which
meet him at every turn. Chief and foremost
among these, of course, stands the “Coliseum,”
whose history and general appearance is known,
at least partially, to every school-boy. Guide
books and friends all told me that I ought to go
and see it by moonlight, and so I went. In or
der to allow toe moon to attain a sufficient atti
tude I had to wait until nearly midnight—but
when at last it made its appearance, it was too
small to give toe requisite amount of moon
shine. I crept back to toe hotel, cold and
sleepy, resolved to telLall my friends that if they
wish to see toe Coliseum by moonlight, and not
be disappointed, they had better wait for a full
moon. As for me, my daylight view was much
more satisfactory, and much more easy to ob
tain. I must add, however, that the ladies who
were of the party protest against these heretical
and unpoetio remarks, and their arguments in
favor of the moonlight side of toe question, al
most persuade me that I saw what I did oot see.
Grand and wonderful as this gigantio ruin is
in itself, it is scarcely less so in its immediate
surroundings; and from its lofty parapet yon
behold, on every aide, toe decayed magnificence
of imperial Borne. A short distance to the
north west is toe Forum Romanum, once
adorned with arches and portiooes and temples,
upon which was lavished toe wealth of a dozen
Emperors, now, alas! a shapeless, heteroge
neous mass of half excavated rums. Yonder
cluster of three graceful columns bears the
name of too “Temple of Vespasian,” while
the “ Temple of Saturn,” just to the left, can
only boost of eight columns and a broken entab
lature. The floor, just level with toe ground,
is all that remains of toe Temple of Concord,
and three tremendous archesjof dirty brickworl
alone point out the Basilica of Constantine
These rains are fall of interest, from toe sug
gestions to which they give rise, but they con
vey very little idea of toe form or general
appearance of this great center or life tarn
thousand years ago. Nearer at hand, and cor-
ering toe whole extent of the “Palatine Hill,”
are toe rains of the “Palacs of the Caasars,” a
confused mas3 of brick and rubbish, withost
form and void, but full of poetry and romance
to him who would reflect upon the miglty
workings of the spirits who once dwelt within
these walls. The recent Emperor of toe French
owns a large portion of theBe ruins, an& for
some years past has caused toe excavations to
be carried on with great vigor. This work has
brought to light much interesting matter, and
he has established on the premises quite an ex
tensive museum of kb* various articles therein
exnumed. The lesson which all this rained
magmficenco must have suggested to their pres
ent owner has donbtless been impressed upon
him muoh more vividly by the recent events in
his own history.
On the opposite side of the colisonm is pointed
out toe site of toe “Golden Palace of Nero,”
boilt upon the riiins of the great fire, during
the burning of which that worthy gentleman is
said to have “fiddled,"—a very tedious opera
tion I fear, and very annoying to the neighbors
if he kept it np daring toe whole conflagration.
This musical Emperor’s palace was about a half
mile in length, but now, I should say that it is
about that distance underground. How it be
came so I cannot Bay; but I know that I follow
ed a dark looking Bomanflown numerous Sights
of steps our course lighted only by a wax taper
tied on toe end of a fishing pole, and which
was, consequently, always at such a distance
as to be almost invisible to the naked eye.
Down and down we went, and round and round,
we went, until I felt that I was at last in a gen
uine labarynth. Suppose that man’s light had
gone ont 1 Well—your readers would have
escaped this letter. But it didn’t go out—on
the contrary, he kept poking it about on the
ceiling and in dark comers to show various
frescoes of greater age than beauty, which in
many places still showed themselves on the
damp and mouldy walls. Nero could receive
no more horrible punishment for his crime,
than to he brought back to re-enhabit his an
cient golden palace.
I believe 1 left the reader standing on the
parapet of the Coliseum. If he will pardon me,
I will now ask hi into perform a pilgrimage with
me to just one more church. This one, the
chnreh of St. ClemeDte. I visited it because it
is the most ancient Christian church, row used
as such, in Borne. The pressnt building is ut
terly devoid of interest, hut underneath it has
been discovered, one-of tooee ancient " l hasUi.
cos" is which the Christians used to assemble,
when all their worshipping had to be done un
derground. On the wads are numerous frOseoea
well enough executed, but the subjects make
the flesh creep with horror. Every martyred
Saint In the calendar, is here depicted in his
dying agonies; sad when yon consider the va
rious deaths they are said to have died, yon may
imagine what pleasant surrounding to mo an
cient worshippers enjoyed. Borne loves to oon
treat all this with her hundreds af proud church
es, khs admired of all the earth, and by whose
names these martyrs are immortalized, but it
seems to me that the Mistrees of the Inquisi
tion.ought to be alow indeed In calling attention
to persecution for' “oonsoienoe sake.” This
ohurch of St. Clemente, aside from its horrible
yat interesting decorations, must have been a
building of oxoeedtyg beauty, and serves to
show that the early Christiana, notwithstanding
their oppressions, were not devoid of means.
- OathoUe Borne may look with self-satisfled
pride upon toe progress which has been made
in the-state of religion la their churoh, between
the days of Clemente L and Pius IX, but to
me the change appears rather a cause fee sad
ness than songrsfaastlon. Tbe ohumbea which

Experience of an American Since the In
vestment. .
From the Few York Tribune, ISiA.]
In company with a score or two of persons,
including toe Brazilian and Portuguese Minis
ters, Mr. Reed, who has been in charge of the
Paris branch of the firm of Tiffany A Company
for toe past twenty years, left that capital on
toe 25th of October, several weeks after it had
been completely invested by toe Prussians.
Mr. Reed, who has just returned to New York,
gives a very enteit lining account of soenes sod
conditions within and around the invested city.
He saystoe difficulty of getting ont of Faris,
after the inveetment, was verygreat. Minister
Washbnrne personally applied to Gen. Trochn
for permission for Mr. Reed’s party U leave toe
eity, hut Trochn objected that their departure
would have & depressing effect up*n toe citi
zens. Finally Mr.'Wash!)tune. w*8 compelled
to demand, in imperative terms, the desired
privilege, and Trochu yielded. - When tbe par*
ty reaohed the Prussian line* each person was
blindfolded. One of them, however, a com
mander in the U. S. Navy, contrived to catch a
glimpse of numerous batteries masked at toe
front toward Paris. Tbe Parisians did not seem
to believe that the Prussians would bombard.
One great source of comfort to them was toe
daily reit«rated official declaration that three
great armies were coming up from different
parts of Franoe to the relief of Paris.
The (Brnmissaries of Subsistence claimed to
have sail, meat, bread and wine enough to last
three minths, and also a large supply of fresh
meat. A system of rationing had been adopted
for all persons within the walls, and meat-rick
ets weje issued for the period ending February
1st, 7 canoes being toe weekly allowance. Mr.
Reed Lund that 3£ ounces were shout sufficient
for an ordinary dinner for one. Vegetables
and frfit were plenty, being grown in the great
gardeiB which surround the city within toe outer
lines of the forts. Poultry was plenty, but sold
at very high prices, turkeys bringing 50 francs
each and chickens 12 to 15 francs; geese, 25
to St francs.
About 1,000 horses were slaughtered every
day for immediate and future consumption.
Persons having horses to sell wonld bring them
to the Commissioners, who weighed them, and
gave 40 centimes (about eight cents) per pound,
gross, for each. The well-to-do people had
overcome their prejudices against eating horse
flesh, and had become rather fond of it; but
the poorer classes stiffly refused to eatit. u Che-
tal a la mode" was a favorite dish with many;
but horse-flesh in steaks, and roasts was not
considered so good.
Gen. Trochu occupies toe Louvre, as his res
idence and headquarters. The Tuileries, toe
Grand Hotel, and almost all the other large
hotels are occupied a3 hospitals, and all have toe
white flag floating above them. There were,
however, an astonishing nnmber of houses under
the hospital flag which were not used as hospi
tais. All Americans had hoisted the Stars and
Stripes to protect their property. So many
Frenchmen not entitled to its protection raised
American flags over their honse3 that Mr. Wash-
burne interposed and caused large numbers to
be taken down.. Americans were very popular
in Paris, especially on account of the prompt
recognition by this country of the Bepnblio.
The American Sanitary Commission is doing
a noble work within the city. Several large
tents oompose its hospital, and on toe 25to of
October they contained 55 wounded. The great
superiority of the American over the French
system in providing for toe wounded was clear
ly illustrated. The American ambulances and
other hospital equipments are regarded even by
the French as much better than their own lum
bering apparatus. In case of battle, the Amer
ican Ambulance men are always first in' the
field, and go to the front, and even into the lines
of the Prussians.
Mr. Reed gives toe following statement of
the utmber of troops in Paris; Regulars, 60,-
000; Gardes Mobiles, 180,000; Gardes Notion-
ales, 250,000. These men had been almost all
armed with toe Chassepot guns, and the ladies
of the tity were making cartridges at the rate
of abtnt 1,000,000 per day. The Chassepot
guns were not made in that city, bnt there! are
great fennderies there which torn out many
cannon, both seige-pieces and breech-loaders,
(after the Prussian model,) and also mitrail
leuses. AH persons burning wood in their
houses are required by .Government iorder< to
preserve the ashes, to be utilized in the powder
factories. ,
Balloons were daily sent on. Tbe day Mr.
Beed left, one was to go carrying 15 .persons,
the fare for each being 2,000 francs ($400) with
guarantee to land them beyond toe Prussian
lines. In odo case a Urge balloon was about to
be started when a gust of wind caused it to
break away from its moorings, and afterrising
to a oonsiderable.height, it finally fell near the
Prussian lines, where French and Prussians
contended for its possession, neither being able
to carry it ^way for a day or two. Finally the
French sallied out in the morning'and drove
back the Prussians so far that toe balloon could
be Recured.
There was a great deal of small-pox in the
eity the last week in October, the number of
deaths from that disease being over 850. Grave
fears were entertained that in the farther stages
of the siege pestilence would spread among the
people. The treatment of Mr. Beed and his
companions'by the Prussians was 'Exceedingly
kind. ' 'When they had amved, under escort,: at
a point ouUide Paris where a telegraphic mes

officers asked him what should be done with the
Americans? The reply was received: “Keep
them over night; feed them well, and send
them onto the morning.” • , V

been neglected, was married to one of the most
substantial citizens.
And what had become of the old man ? Hie
wife had not seen or heard of him since they
parted on the Humboldt They had lived hap
pily for years, and aha sometimes reproached
fierself for the wilfolness that separated them
after so long a pilgrimage together. Bat he was
not dead. We cannot trace his course in Cali
fornia, however. All that we know of him is,
that fortune had not smiled upon him, and that
for years he had toiled without hope. Finally,
feeling unable longer to wield toe pick and
shovel, he visited San Franciaoo, in the hope of
obtaining employment better adapted to hi*
wasted strength.
For three months he remained idle after ar
riving there, and then, for want of occupation,
became the humble retailer of peanuts and
oranges, with his entire traffic upon his ami.
This was six months ago. A fow weeks since,

might have been construed into earnestness,
“ how did you find the Carson road ?” “ Mis

“ full of sand and alkali.’ “ Then I was rights

Tbe Vest or Obtaining Coolies.
The “Planters* Association,” at Honolulu,
some time ago, sent an agent to Ohina to pro
cure coolies to labor on the Bugar plantations.
From the report whioh toe agent made to his
employers,.it appears that he found some dis
couragement. The planters wanted to procure
laborers for $6 a month and expenses. But the
demand for Callaio and for account of Ameri
can parties had put toe prioe quite above the
planters’ figures. It appearing that the oolonial
government of Hong Kong doesnotallow “con
tract” men to be shipped from that port, the
agent, after trying his luck in Severn places,
finally went to Macao, bnt failed there because
toe price was too high. He gives the following
items of cost:
The cost of advances on coolies at Macao are,
first—brokerage, which varies from $55 to $65;
to the Government, $6; - advauoe to eaoh coolie,
$8; clothes and blankets, $5.25; inspection of
doctors 50 cts; food consumed on boatd before
leaving, $1.50 to $2; food for toe voyage, from
$8 to $10; doctor and interpreter, $1.50; to
the head coolie broker, $3 to $5 extra. Making
a total of $93 to $ 100 eaoh. To this add ex
change, $17; passage, from $20 to $40, add
toe probable mortality, and we get the approxi
mate co9t- of contract laborers brought from
Macoa to this place. These laborers from Ka-
coa cost, landed in Peru or Havana, never less
than $2C0 each; wages $4 per week, and all
contracts are readily disposed of there at $400
each; and I was assured by those tost knew that
the ooat per month of theea men was never less
than $20 to $22 over all. All oontracts in Ma
cao for labor abroad are made for a term of
eight years. No men are allowed to be shipped
at Macao under twenty years old, and brokers
do not take any over forty years bid. No wo
men are shipped at Macao.
The agent finally returned to Hong Kong,
where he had muoh trouble in getting coolies—
most of: them': being afraid that they would be
taken to.Oall&io. He finally'obtained a cargo,
bnt at such a cost that we judge toe venture
was not wholly, satisfactory.—San Francisco

Telegraph Company, 66 Broadway. When this
system was first brought out, the rate at whioh

but sinee that time Mr. Little, toe inventor of
the automatic system, has been able to increase
the speed to 1,000 words per minute, snd he is
hopeful of extending this figure.
Yesterday messages were transmitted to and

His Marriage in Mexico—His Trencherjr to
Maximilian—Henvy ©nmbtlaz—Helm**
nenrljr 8*00,000 la lix Honrs.
From the Society.’]
It was our fortune to know Marshal Basaine
personally, and be near him during two of toe
moat eventful yearn in the history of Mexioo.
We saw his entrance into the Halls of the Mon-
tozumas, and later, his marriage in the Imperial
Falaoe to Seaorita Josef a Pena, a beautiful but
poor young lady, quite twenty years tbe Mar
shal’s junior—a descendant of a Spanish family,
fair and stately of figure. Tbe wedding was
celebrated with great pomp. Maximilian and
Oariotta—a queen by birth and rare accomplish
menta—gave away toe bride. The Arohbishop
of Mexioo, assisted by two departmental Bish-
opa, performed the impressive ceremony. Tbe
presents were numerous, rare, and eoetly, the
first of all bring an imperial present from Max
imilian to Baaaine, valued at $400,000. It con
Mated of toe palace and gardens at San Ooeme,
afterward occupied by the Marshal and his bride.
Foot months following this event we were tbe
recipients of frequent invitations to their mag
nificent receptions, conversed by the hour with
the Marshal, or listened to him or his staff, or
toe various ministers of Maximilian’s Cabinet,
while they discussed the then important events
of the day. From that intercourse and oppor
tunity we became firmly and reasonably con
vinced that Marshal Bazaine, as a great General
and an honorable man, was a fraud of the first
magnitude.
From our own conversation with him we knew
early in 1866 that the whole tenor of his dis
patches to toe Secretary of War of France, and
private letters to Napoleon, was against the
noble-hearted and rinoere Maximilian. In Sep
tember of 1366 we knew from toe same source
that Bazaine was plotting for toe dethronement
of the yonng Emperor,' and bis own appoint
ment by Napoleon as Begent or Dictator of
Mexioo. Somewhat later orders came from the
ex-Emperor Napoleon for the withdrawal of the
expeditionary corps of France to Mexioo, Ba
zaine ordered a concentration of the arinies of
the North and Central States at Queretaro,
whence they marched into toe oapital. The
Belgian troops determined to remain. On the
morning of tbe 3d of February, 1861, Marshal
Baz&ine* plotting and planning and undermin
ing was done—his murder of Maximilian well
nigh completed; consequently, at the head of
the army of France in Mexico, he marched
through Galles de San’ Franoisco aud Platoros
across the Plaza de Armas, avoiding passing the
imperial palace, so as not to salute the Emperor,
and out through toe eastern gates and into toe
valley beyond. After awaiting there for two
days to plot with General Porfirio Diaz, com
mander of toe Liberal army, and sell him arms
and ammunition with which to crash toe Em
peror and empire, Bazaine led his army down
the hundred leagues of intervening slope to
ward the Gulf of Mexico.
Ten days after he left the oity of Mexioo, and
before his disembarkation, Maximillian, at the
head of 7,500 men, with 25 pieces of artillery,
left the capital for Queretaro, where the empire
died, and where Juarez brutally assassinated
the Arohduke of Austria. As long ao Bazaine
remained in toe oity of Mexico, Maximillian
feared to leave it, although he desired to, be
cause the Marshal of France would seize the
imperial palace and the archives of toe Gov*
ernment.
As a general, wo said that Marshal Bazaine is
a fraud. Let the student of history prove any
thing to the contrary. We know that a banquet,
a review day, a gaming table, are his favorite
modes of pastime. These oecupations, with
opera and theatre, constitute his pleasure, aud
of the five pastimes, gaming has had the greater
share for years. As a single example: On
Sabbath evening, Deo. 7,1866, Marshal Bazaine
and wife, with the Count and Countess de None,
occupied a box in the Imperial Theatre of the
City of Mexico. Juan Bivas, toe great monte
dealer and banker, with' his wife and : beautifnl
daughters, Senoritas Juana and Leonora, eocu-
ned box sixteen. When the play waa half over,
lazaineroee; bowed himself ont of his box,
leaving Count de None to escort his wife home,
and proceeded to the home of Bivas, 2 Calls de
Oapuchinas. Half an hour later one of toe ser
vants of Bivas hurriedly entered the Imperial
Theatre, went to his master’s box, and whis
pered in Spanish to Don Juan, “Marshal Ba
zaine and Senor Baron (the great English banker
sinoe deceased) are playing monte, and are win
ning heavily. ” r lo Ioi
”._Bun@itrose, threw hia 61oak over his shoul
ders, and left for his home. The play at the
theatre concluded, we went to see the game of
monte, for on other occasions we had witnessed
immense fortunes change hands in that palaee
of gamblers in a single night. Gambling is a
respectable oalliog in Mexioo, and a Jugador's
family associates with the elite, provided they
are wealthy. Bazaine, Baron, several foreign
merchants,'and a : number of nabob Mexicans
were playing. - Old man Bivas was dealing.
Two banks, all the money plaoed : on the; table
for the play had been tapped by Bazaine, and
won^ giving him $100,000 winnings. Mr.
Baron had won about $25,000. The wagers
wero not Jess than one hundred ounces or $1,-
600 gold, an4 often one thousand ounces, or
*,000 gold, and twice Bazaine wagered $50,-
, against the bank’s $50,GOO. Bivas put out.
a $100,000 bank at twelve o’clock, all in gold
’ounces. Bazaine’s fortune, turned until at five
o’olock A. X., Monday morning, he was $169,-
500 loser, and Baton $55,000 winner. . The grid
lost by toe Marshal waa sent to Rivas's home
tha same morning at nine o'clock.

an uncommon bright and rosy exhalation of the

A New Religious Order.
A cable dispatch reoently stated that no lees
tha thirty members of a new religious order,
which had sprung up in the Anglican Obnroh,
in Englad, were on their way to America In a
steamer bound to Boston. Only three, however,
arrived. The Boston Journal rays:
Their names snd titles are aa follows: Hi ob.
szd Menx Benson, M. A., student of Christ :- *l 5
Church and vicar of the parish of Cowley, Si.
John; the Bev. Simeon Wilbezforoe O'Neil,
and the Rev. Frederick Wm. Fuller. The
of the order to which they belong is the Broth
erhood of the Mission of Bt. John the Evangel
ist The Bev. Mr. Freneott, who met them on
their arrival, has been laboring in this country
for a considerable time—in Chicago, New York
ud other cities—ad is now reinforced by the
three members of the brotherhood above*,
named, who have ooma to tola country in order
to found a brash of.the order whioh shall ag
grandize itself in this country. The lest Legis
lature of Connecticut was caued upon to grant
a act of incorporation to an establishment to
be earned on by toe brotherhood, consisting of
a ohurch ad a seminary, the means having been
furnished by a wealthy America friend of the
order in that State.
“The Bev. Mr. Benson, or Father Boson, as V
he ia known or addressed, is the superior of tha
order, which nnmber, in all, only nine mem-
-Sera, ail'of whom are clergymen of the Estab
lished Chnreh of England or of the Protestant
Episcopal Church in America. They are asce
tics in life, ad apparently subject themselves
to a discipline very similar to that of the monks
that Catholicism nourishes so numerously on
the continent. They hold themselves aloof
from the world, and do not marry or own per
sonal property. Their drees is after the pattern
of that worn by toe Roma Cathelic clergy.
The brotherhocKl originated about five years
ago, ad was oonfined at first to two persons-*!
Father Benson ad a American clergyman
named Gratton, whose home was formerly ia
Baltimore. It appears that the gentleman last
named was traveling in Europe when he formed
the acquaintance of the Bev. Mr. Benson,
car Cowley, St. John, near Oxford, ad was so
attracted to him that he derided to give up his y
former connections, ad live with him.there.
Together they originated the new brotherhood,
ad others of the English clergy were, soon at
tracted to them, and joined the order whioh so
soon is extending itself ad taking strong root
in Amerioa.
“Father Benson is still Vicar of Cowley, St.
John, and comes to this country aa the superior
to set the order going, after which he will re
turn to England.
“The chief purpose of the order is said to be
to go about into various parishes, where tbs
clergy may be pleased to invite the brotherhood,
and hold ‘mission’meetings, fora spaoe of about
a fortnight at a time, preaching as often during
the day as a congregation can be gathered. Thn
special mission servioe is generally held in the
evening. The sermon is preceded by a short
prayer, and then followed by a Bible olass, after
which there is individual conversation, in order
to secure the personal app’ication of what has
been said in the pulpit. The brotherhood have
already conducted missions in various large
towns in England—Bristol, Liverpool, Leeds,
Whitney ad may other places. Last yearn
twelve days’mission was held in London just
before Advent, which was mainly inaugurated
by this society and conducted by its memben.
Religious exercises, in whioh they took a lead
ing part, were held in over a hundred of the
Lo&don churches, representing may various
shades of religious opinion. Father Benson
himself delivered an address upon the subject
of the religions revival of the masses at the
chqrch congress whioh was lately held at Booth-
ington, under the presidency of the Bishop of
Winchester.
“The order also affords opportunities for the
enjoyment of seasons of seclusion, called re
treats for the clergy ad the laity. The seasons
are devoted to religions exercises of various
kinds, during which one of the members of the
society delivers a course of addresses daily, the
object being to aid those who are presat in giv
ing their minds to toe consideration of their in
ner life, and strengthening them for the fulfill,
ment of their dnties for the coming time. In
Bhort, the apparent object of the brotherhood
is the introduction of revivalism and monasteries
into the Angliea Chnreh. Fattier Benson Is a
man of middle age^and in tfis full
would be taken for a Catholic prieat by one who
met him in the street. The gentlemen who
come as his assistants are both young and affa
ble, and have less of toe priestly appearanos,
while Father Prescott is thoroughly Amerioa
in voice ad manner.” .

Editors Telegraph dk Messenger.—While tell-
