Moreover, that government—‘muring in , an evident manner the condition of, those who make jrublic profession of rwigibus tows, which have always had and always will have force in God s Church, and not recognizing the very great adVSiu tage of the regular Order-which, founded by men of holiness and approved by the fitly Apostolic See, have in an espc-cial manner deserved the thanks of the Chris tian republic, civil aud literary, by so many glorious labors aud so many pious and useful works—lias not feared to sanc tion a law suppressing throughout its en tire territory ail religious corporations of both sexes ; it has appropriated all their property, and a great deal of oth x proper ty belonging to tho Church, and has order ed it to be divided. Before catering into pot so ion of the Venetian province it did not hesitate to extend thereto the same laws, and it enjoined, contrary to all law and justice, the total abrogation and anni hilation of the ronv ution which was come to between nr and our very dear eon in Jems Christ , Francis Jos- gh, Emperor vs j Iria. Therefore, faithful to the very serious duty of our apostolic ministry, we raise anew in your most august assembly our voice on behalf of religion, of the Church, of its holy laws, the rights belonging to the authority of this chair of St. Peter : and with all our strength we deplore and condemn all and each of the things which, to the Church, its laws and its rights have Lcou decreed, done and at tempted by the sub-Alpine government, , and by all other subordinate authorities ; and by our apostolic authority we abrogate i and proclaim null and void, and without, I force or effect, all the aforesaid decrees and : everything that appertains to them. \\ e likewise beg their author, who glory J in the name of Christians, to hear in mind ! and seriously to consider that they have unfortunately incurred the censures and i the spiritual pains inflicted by the apostol ! ic constitution and the decrees of the gener al councils upon whosoever should attack | the rights of the Church. You know, venerable brethren, that cor- 1 1 tain astute men oppose us, and interpret in ! : their own sense the blessing which we give to \ Italy when, assuredly without any merit | of our own, but, thanks to tho impenetra- 1 bio judgment of God, wo spontaneously I ptonouneod the words of pardon aud peace i out of love for the people of the Pontifical i S’ate. j in truth, full o! solitude for tho welfare j and happiness of the entire flock, asking by our prayers from God the good of Italy, j we besought him with fervor and humility : that He might deliver her from the evils | which afflicted her, and that the most pro- i eiousgiltof the Catholic faith might be all j powerful in Italy, and that rectitude of I manners, justice, charity, and all Christian j virtues might flourish there more and : tnoro* Once more to-day we do hot cease ! to send up our most fervent prayers to God j that in ilis goodness lie would deign to remove from the Catholic people of Italy, ! 'the many and great calamities of every j kind which aro afflicting and assailing them ; through the fault of the governors of Italy, and iu consequence of a multiform perse - cution. But, above all things, we beseech our most merciful Lord to aid and fortify by Ilis heavenly help the people of Italy, in order that they may remain firm and immutable in the Divine faith and in their j religion, and that they may he able with , Christian fortitude to support and endure I so many misfortunes and evils. Foolish, however, are those who, on the j strength of this, do notecase to demand of i us, already despoiled, and with the most j manifest injustice, of several provinces of our pontifical territory, that we should re nounce our civil sovereignty and that of the Apostolic See. Surely every one must j see how unjust and prejudicial _to the ! Church is such a demand. By a singular arrangement of Divine Providence, as we . have said on a former occasion, it happen ed that the Roman empire hawing fallen, and being divided into many kingdoms and divers State, the Roman Pontiff, in the midst of such great variety of kingdoms, and in the actual state of human society, was invested with his civil sovereignty, in consequence of which, never being subject to any lay power, he exercises in entire liberty supreme authority and his jurisdic tion over the Church, which has been divinely confided to him by" our Lord Jesus Christ. And the faithful, with full tran quility of conscience and entire confidence, obeying the decrees, warnings and orders of the' Pontiff, submit them-clVes thereto without entertaining the least suspicion that his acts are subject to the will-and impulse of any sovereign or civil power. We cannot renounce the civil power estab lished by the Divine wisdom of Provi : donee for the good of the universal Cl arch. We are bound, on the contrary, to dafdud ! that government, ami to protect the rights of that civil Power, arid to complain strong ly of the sacrilegious usurpation of tha provinces of the Holy Sec, as we> have al ready done, and as wj do now, remonstrat ' iug and protesting to the utmost of our j power, -v v ■ Kvovy»<m»> knov. - that the’brshOprfPTVhe Catholic world have m ver ceased to defi ed ' with Steal, oraiiy and in writing, our civil* sovereignty arid that of the Apostolic See; and all nave proclaimed that that sover eignty, especially in the actual condition of the attains of this world, is •absolutely necessary to establish and defend the per fect liberty of the Roman Pontiff, who feeds all the Catholic flock —a liberty which is >o intimately connected with the freedom of the entire Church. These same men fear not even to go about crying everywhere that we ought to reconcile ourselves with Italy—that is to say, with the enemies of our religion who boast themselves of having founded Italy. But how can we, the appointed champions and defenders of our most holy religion and of the salutary doctrine of virtue and of justice, who have to watch for the salva tion of all, march in concert with those who. not upholding the holy doctrine, and ; refusing to hear the truth, keep tin tnselves away from us —those who would never : condescend to grant our desires nor to meet 1 our demands, to the effect that so many dioceses of Italy, deprived of their pastoral consolation and protection, should have their bishops ? Would to heaven that all those who so vehemently oppose the Church, us, and this Apostolic See, turning their regards and their souls to truth and justice, may be enlightened once for all, and. thinking :,{ themselves and looking to the good of their souls, moved by holy repentance, may endeavor to come back to us. Nothing would be more agreeable to us than to /ortranNo meet them, following the example of our evangelical lather, and toenh/aee titan, rejoicing in the Lord that his children were dead and are a.ivc again —that they went astray and have been found. Then, indeed, it would be seen that our venerable religion, the mother and the fruitful nurse of every virtue, and the scourge of vice, conduces equally to the happiness of the individual and the wel fare of all. Where religion and her whole some doctrines prevail, there must neces sarily flourish uprightness of manners, in tegrity. peace, justice, charity, and all the virtues. Then people are nor afflicted with those grievous calamities which un happily weigh upon them wheresoever re bec m and its doctrines are not recognized. By the deplorable facts, related summa rily and with pain, and by the sad con [ temporary events in Italy, everybody can j easily see and divine to what great perils tbi* Apostolic See i» exposed, and how it ' i. the mark of tho roost bitter threats of r .V- llitm. tne hatred of unl*!ievers. and the fnger oft he etn mies of Christ’s cross., tin every side at© continually heard fan:.!' 1 1 oie. r, which tied an echo in our <h perate enmities, declaring that tbit city © Rome must share in this unhappy Itai ln ; ©rturbaiioD and Tehcliioa—nay, must . become its capital. But God, who is rich in mercy, will, by His omnipotence, make the impious counsels and desires of our ' enemies fail. He will not permit this ho-J hie city, so dear to us, in which, out of His i grv.t and .-ingular goodness, lie has fixed • the chair of Peter, the impregnable basis of his divine faith and religion, to return' to that unfortunate condition so admirably described by our holy predecessor, Leo the ! < -t, in whi hjwioiijpnd herself when for the first tint© tiwthoiy Prince of the Apos tl.is citv, then th the world. « , A to us, even when deprived of almost I» human a .Lstance, faithful still to our t . <n, and confiding absolutely in the aid i■•' A mighty God wt already to combat without itar, even to thcjwril of our life, for the cause of the Church divinely con no Ito u by th fjord .) -u Ch and if if - I be to remove thither where we .-hail ize able to exercise iu the best manner our -:i preme apoMoiic mission. And seeing I ari l only sur>)iort n:u.,t ! • prayer, we au dn ~i ourselves to all the venerable hre-th ren and hi.-hops of the entire Catholic universe, to;;!! the Catholic clergy, and to all the children of the Holy Mother < fitir-it. who have never cea-.d to lavi.-h on us Web striking evidences of love and r pe«fc and to come to our aid in our araw4 trials and those of the Holy .See; ■ we i n's r of them more and more to offer • •■-!. taut: . , with faith, hope and charity, fervent piuycr to God for the defeat of the . ©'tteitiliti oi the Cintrch, and for their re turn to the path of salvation. j. to avail our.stlves of the words of j t'hrv prayer a powerful j arm—autr ;at security—a real treasure— j.;i e e lent harbor—a very sure asylum provided that, attentive and vigilant, we • i>r©.-cnt ourselves before the. Lord, the mind c Jfccted, and without leaving any acqjte t.i the enemy of our salvation. In the ijfio t. of the tl-ep anguish which af ilictsh- we liave a great consolation know- :Tag.that -i : >d, when Ilis -Church -has no a until. . .

But it is exceedingly Kiainful that it is not ! that a nation shall always preserve the precious treasure of our divine fai h and of I our religion. In truth, there aro .many nations who have kept faithfully the de posit of the faith and the discipline of its manners ; but, alas ! they have been de t-.cii -I from the rock upon which rests the j edifice of the Church, and separated front him to whom has been given the power to confirm the brethren and to feed the lambs and the sheep, not agreeing among them selves, and, enveloped in the darkness of j error, they are in the greatest danger as to their salvation. And here we cannot abstain, by reason of our mission, from adjuring in the name of the Lord all Sovereigns and other gov ernors oft States to examine once for all , and carefully to consultr , the very grave obligation they are under to endeavor that love and respect for religion should in crease among nations , and with all their strength to preven t the torch of faith from being extinguished among them. Woe, then, to those Governors who. for getting .that they are-the ministers of God unto good, shall have neglected to promote that worship when they could and ought. It is for them to fear and tremble when through their work especially they destroy the most precious trwe-ure of the Catholic faith, without, which it is impossible to i please God. When they shall be summon ed before the tribunal of Christ tor most revere judgment, they shall see what a dreadful thing it is to fall under the dis pleasure of the living God and to feel his strict justice. Finally, we cannot doubt, venerable brethren, witnesses and compan ions of out labors, appreciating your excel lent and well known religion, your piety arid your deep love for Catholicism, that you will desire to unite your fervent pray ers to ours, and to those of the whole Church, and earnestly to conjure the very gracious Father of mercies, in order that, t hrough the merits of his only Son, our Lord Jesus Christ, He would take pity on Italy, on till Europe. '. and on the entire world, and that by Ilis divine omnipotence would cause that, after the destruction of all errors and the cessation of bitterness and perturbations, His holy Church may fully enjoy entire liberty and peace —that human society may he freed from the many evils that afflict it, and all that nations may he blended in the unity of the faith and in acknowledgment of Ilis Son, walking in the paths of tho Lord, and producing fruits in good works of every kind. AUTO IS M ARI) IN LONDON. Another T.etter to Punch. dr. Clinch, My Dear Sir :—l skurcely need inform you that your excellent. Tower is very pop’iav with pcplc from the agri eultoora! districts, and it wu* chiefly them class which I found waitin at the gates the other mornin. * I saw at once that the Tower was estab lished on a firm basis. In the entire his tory of firm hasisis 1 don’t find a basis more firmer titan this one. “You have no Tower in America?” said a man in the crowd, who had somehow de tected my denomination. “Alas! no,” I anserd; “we boste of our enterprise and improvements, and yib we arc devoid of a Tower. America, oh my unhappy country! thou hast not got. no Tower i It’s a sweet boon.” The gates was opened after awhile, and we all purehist tickets, and went into a waitin room. “My liens," said a pale-faced little man, in black close, “thisis a sad day.” “Inasmuch as to how?” said I. ‘T mean it is sad to think that so many peple have been killed within these gloomy walls. My Irens, lot us drop a tear I ’ ‘No,” I said, “Y on must excuse me. Others may drop one if they feel like it; hut as lor me, I decline. The early maua gers of this institootion were a bad lot, and t heir crimes was trooly orfuj ; but I can’t sob for those who died four or live hundred years ago. If they was my own relations, I couldn t. It's apsurd to shed sobs over things that occurred durin the rain of Henry the Three. Lotus be cheerful.” I contmered : “Look at the festiv Warders, i in their red flanuil jackets. They are cheer ful, and why should it not be thusly with : US?” A \\ ardor now took ns in charge, and < showed us the Trater’s Gate, the armors, i and tilings. The Tratcr’s Gate is wide j onuff to admit about twenty traters abrest, ; I should jedge; but beyond this, I couldn’t ; seehat it was superior to gates in general. Traters 1 will acre remark, are a onfort i'tit class of peple. If they wasn't, they wouldn the traters. They conspire to bust up a country—they fail, and they’re tra iers. They bust her, and they become i statesmen and heroes. 1 ake the ease ot Gloster, afterwards Old j Dick the Three, who may be seen at the : toWer, on horseback, in a heavy tin over- i coat -take dir.

The room where the daggers and pistills and other wippins is kept is interestin. Among this collection of choice cutter]v I notist the bow and arrer which those hot headed old chaps used to conduct battles with. It is quite like a bow and arrer used at this dav by eertin tribes of American In juns. and they shoot cm off with such a excellent' precision that I almost sigh’d to be a Injun, when I was in the Rocky Mouutin regin. They are a pleasant lot them Injuns. Mr. Cooper and Dr. Catlin have told us of the red man’s-wonderful eloquence, and* I found it -o. Our party was stopt on the plains of Utah bv a band of Shoshones, whose chief said, "Brothers! the pale-faoo is welcome.

He theh whooped in a shrill manner, stole all. oar blankets : and wlr.-soy. a; . fled to the primeval forest to conceal his emotions.

They call you. by the sweet name of’ Brother one minit. and the next they scalp vou with tk ir Tomashawks. But I wander. Let us return to the Tower.* 1 ’ Atone end of the room where the wop pins is kept is a wax Agger of Queen Eliza beth. mounted on a fiery stuffed hoss. whose glass eye flashes with pride, and whose red moroeker nostril dilates hawtily. as if conscious of the royal burden he bears.

Tlie Amber Rosary* Ah me," this rosary in other lands Has learned more prayers than I shall ever know: Its slow beads, slipped and smoothed by pious hands, Whose pulses stopped a hundred years ago. It keeps an odor mystical and dim, As ol old" churches where the censer swings, Where, echoing to the echo-chanted hymn, The sculptured angels fold their marble wings. Where through the windows melts the unveiling light, And in its passage leaves their gorgeous stain, Then bars the gloom with rays all rainbow ■ bright As human hearts grow beautiful through pain. One birthday—it might ho a year ago, Or fifty, or a thousand,—one who smiled Counted these beads and praised their marvelous glow, Saying ‘ I bring a gift to you, dear child : ‘An amulet, notmade of gems or gold, But drops of light imprisoned from above; Gold were too heavy, gems too hard and cold, And only amber suits the soul of love. ‘ What fitter birthday token eould I give? See how the clear orbs answer to tho sun; I clasp them at your throat, and you shall live A perfect golden year for every one.’ Then why tho cross?’ I asked. He sighed and said, 1 For possible sorrows.’ Ah, these use less tears ; The hand which placed it here, now cold and dead, Forgets to twine for me thegoldon years ; Forgets to bless her waiting head who wears For his dear sake these amber beads to day -, Forgets to make the cruel cross she bears Grow lighter as the birthdays wear away. Yet. still the amber gleams, and unawares Turns all to gold beneath its mellow ray ; Oh, pure hearts, glowing with remem bored prayers, Plead lor her peace who has no heart to pray. BY TELEGRAPH.

He thanked God he had not been ; found guilty of adultery. The sentence of suspension <ll not affect his relations as | pastor of the ■ hureh, ! as any dissolution ‘ must lie at the request of hi -congregation. ; He asked them not to act hastily, but ■ thoughtfully and prayerfully. He prayed ; God that he might be allowed to remain ' heretolive down the calumny and reproach heaped upon him. This was the last time j he would appear in public until suspension was removed.

Boston, November 17. —A brutal and outrageous assault was committed last Triday forenoon on the person of the wife of Rev. David A. tValton, residing on Spring Hill, Somerville, by a colored man, who is supposed to be one James Robert son, who has been hanging around the vicinity and Cambridge lor the past few days. The black vilian entered the house about 10 o’clock, and tiding the lady alone made a foul proposal to her, accompanying it with threats of personal violence, and , even _ death, if she did not submit. In I addition to !«sr entreaties to be spared ■ from his brutish passion- she held out a 1 sum of money which he finally, tocjc, and j also a pistol which itruck his fancy; but ! after receiving these, in spite of her strug- j glcs aud entreaties, he accomplished his foul purpose and hastily left, and up to this time has not been arrested. A complete description of the rascal identifies him as a negro who was arrested as %vagrant and suspicious character, and lodged in the l'ifth Police Station in Cambridge on Thursday night. The friends of the lady are highly exasperated at the affair, and it is hoped that his arrest will-,speedily be made and summary justice dealt out to him. The officers are on his track. (The Rev. D.

[lt should be borne in mind that our quotations represent wholesale prices. Small bills, to l&rntcrs and others, arc filled at a shade higher rates.] — The depression of the Liverpool and Now York cotton markets, of course, re-acts injuriously upon the local market. Not onlyg.s this the case in re gard to cotton, for every department of trade feels the depression of a decline in our chief product, and a consequent stag nation of business generally. Ah active, advancing market never tails to induce the country people to send in tlxoir cotton, which, being converted into greenbacks, finds its way into thu bands of the mer chant in exchange for various goods. Hence it is that the tone of the cotton mar ket here regulates, in a measure, other branches of mercantile pursuits. The amount of business done during the week will compare favorably with that of the preceding week. The general market cannot, however, be classed as brisk, but rather dull for this season of the year. As compared with former years it may bo termed fiat. COTTON—At the close of the last review the market closed dull, and opened on .Sat urday morning drooping, closing dull and irregular. Buyers demanded concessions, which holders would not grant. Sales con sequently small, being only JET bales, with receipts ol' 183 bales. The market opened with a bettor feeling Monday. Holders remained firm, and some 201 bales changed hands at from 31@ 32 for strict to good middling. The market closing with an improved tone. The market opened quiet Tuesday. Un der the infiuenco of half cent advance in the New York market, there was a slight ad vance, aud the market closed firm. Sales of the day 230 bales. .Strict to good mid dling 314®32* cents. Receipts 300 bales. Wednesday the market opened firm, with a fair demand, at a half cent advance, closing quiet but steady. Sales of the day 240 bales. Strict middling 32. Good mid dling 33. Receipts 800 bales. Thursday being a holiday, very little was done, though wo heard of a few sales at Wednesday’s figures. Friday the market opened very flat, un der Iho news of a decline in the New York market of half cent. Purchasers wanted a decline, but holders wero not disposed to give way. Tho news from Liverpool at noon of a firmer market with sales of 10,000 bales, gave strength to our market, which closed firmer. Luring the day 258 bales were sold at about half cent off from Wednesday’s figures. Strict middling 311. Receipts 059 bales. Total sales for the week, ending Friday, November 23, P. M., are 1,053 bales. COTTON STATEMENT.

In such an event, New York goes up, and our local market will,'of course, be benefited. Cotton will rebound, and that before long. Large crop estimates are being exploded and the belief in a short one is having its effect; slowly, it is true, but surely. C O T TON S T A T E M E N T . 1 j on hand fimv For.

Were emmend that the Inferior Court at once put in tho. rough repuir tho Jail ofthe County. It can be doneatasmall expense, anji we invoke those odlcem to look into this matter at once. We find that wc, as a county, are entitled to money in &r --rears for educational purposes, and wc beg the proper author!- ties to iook to tins matter at once, of paramount importance Wc hud tins to be a question at the greatest moment, as we believe a well instructed people alone can be a free people Wc respectfully recommend that the act of the Legislature organizing the County Court be so amended, at least in refer cm; lothecountyorscriven, that will relieve tlie people of the county from the enormous Jury duty they are called upon Tile roads and bridges, if they need repairs, we respectfully ask tho proper authorities, in their discretion, to give them attention.

Hut if there be in any part ofthe body any affection, such as a boil or ulcer, even a bruise, the blood circulating through that part, takes up im pure matters from the local affection and carries it into the general system. This is the cause often of sudden deaths to persona of full habit afflicted with bolls and ulcers, and wlio use no medicine ; the matter gets into the circulating system aud chokes up the fine blood vessels which supply the brain with vitality, and life ceases as if BEIIEFT BY LIUHTMXO.
