Clergy are liars ; that it is their sworn duty to advance the interests of their church in any manner; that they owe to the Pope an allegiance superior to that due to the State, and that they are under no obligation to keep faith with heretics.

Kansas is a slave state. Who hastened to make it so ? Abolition politicians. Who desired it to be come a slave State more than all other living men? The opposers of the Nebraska bill in or der that their predictions might prove true; that they might be written down prophets; excite a Northern war on Southern States ; sever the Union or allow each one of them to be President of the United States as early as 1856. If there is one thing more than any other that gives vitality to slavery—that propa gates it—that spreads it like an infection; that one thing is the frothing, boiling, ram pant abolitionism of the Northern States.— Had it never existed, slavery would have died years ago, and the inscription upon its tombstone would have recorded a natural death; bat verging towards its dissolution, the galvanic action of abolition opposition was applied, and it revived to fight and in crease in strength as the battle lengthened, until now it has grown a foe to those who first threw down the glove and the gauntlet. And now slavery is here in a small way, a few negroes, twenty or so, and its sup porters are coming faster and faster. What sends them here ? A beautiful country is not all that they seek, but a slavery victory over those who had challenged them. They seok to drown that hypocritical voice that cried “slavery shall not enter Nebraska,” and prove it false: they seek to conquer those who have taunted them, by making south of the Platte river a slave State. France—themselves Catholics—voted in fa vor of granting equal rights to tlieir Pro testant follow subjects, consented, moreover, to a general taxation on Catholics and Pro testants/ to support the Protestant clergy, and in several instances, yielded to their use churches which had been built by Cath olic money, for Catholic worship? What do they say to numerous Protestant places of worship being established all over Italy ? But why enumerate farther ? they answer to all of these the Massacre of Saint Bartholomew and the Spanish Inquisition ; they attribute to an institution what be longed to an age of political darkness ; they forget the Scottish Parliament passed a law ordaining “that all Papists and Priests bo punished with manifold civil and eclosiasti- cal pains;” the ravages of Ireland by English Protestant persecution, and the horrible butcheries of John Ziska ; they ig nore everything but old tales, generated in the fanaticism of the earlier Puritans, and transmitted during generations to us.— There iu England, where they had their birth they are almost forgotten. We are to resuscitate them; hold opinions and pass laws which disgraced the darker ages of our parent country.

Altho* “charity for Ood’s sake”—in other words, alms-asking—has not among us, as in olden trans- Atlantic cities, reached the perfection of a science, it has nevertheless advanced to a point which ren ders it difficult to distinguish worthy from unde serving objects of it. The true and simulated are so blended tbat the donpg fumbles his pockets for an^Eleemosynary shilling with a perplexing uncer tainty as to whether it will go to relieve a real or a fictitious woe. An apparent cripple limps pain fully into your office and whiningly implores a trifle to aid in the purchase of a cork leg, which shall enable him to lesume his. former industrious habits, when you cannot tell but the minus limb is snugly tucked up iu his ample breeches, short ened at the knee and that should you follow him to his accustomed nocturnal haunt in a cellar in Cherry street, he would be tripping on two stal wart legs to the sound of a cracked fiddle and “ bnuainy ” with his “ pal ” on poisoned whiskey bought with your beuofaetion. An emaciated fe male leads into your presence a longer train of off spring than pertained to John Rogers of blessed memory. Yon wonder by what dreadful visitation such manifold deformities could have como upon one family. No two of the children resemble each other. There docs not seem to be a proper observance of time in. the order of their birth.— They are all deformed. One carries a miniature Bunker Hill upon his shoulders. Tbe sternum of another projects from his shirt front, curiously curved and piteously purple. A third started in life without eyes, and so is led by a fourth with oyes. but a cancerous nose. A fifth has a withered baud and the sixth is dropsical. But without- looking farther let us steel our yielding hearts, and learn that the patients of this peripatetic hospital have been hired at so much per head hy tho dame in charge, and that to-night each will return with thc earnings of the day to its parents, who make a stock in trade of their children's de formity. Cases have come to light where moth ers have maimed their children to fit them for begging. I know of one in which a fiend in fe male form bound n living spider for several hours each day upon one of the eyes of her little daugh ter, that its inflamed appearance, as she sat by Trinity Church, might move the pity of passers- by. A friend of mine only last Sunday had an experience which I think worth recording. He had gone to Hoboken to “ snuff the invigorating breezes,’’ when he met a mutilated remnant of hu manity about wliom a crowd was gathered. His compassion was excited—he drew near and heard from his mouth (iiis lips were gone) how, some years ago he wont to Cutskill to be married. While there his brother’s house took fire and he rushed in through flames and falling timbers to rescue a life dearer to him than his own, and came forth with his hands burned to mere stubs and his face likewise con sumed. “ I would not soe any one burn,” said he, pathetically; “my heart,” laying one his stubs upon that organ, “ would not allow me. I brought my brother and he died iu my arms, and the dear true girl whom I was to wed loved me all the same, but I would not tie her brilliant prospects to such a cripple. I gave her up. She married another. May she be happy.” My friend was touched. He knew most forms of city distress, and was expert at unmasking shams; but these real scars, this sell' sacrifice, tinged with romance, appealed too powerfully to be resisted. Nor was ho alone affected. A sympathiser of the Job Trotter sort, a pock-marked face, seedy white head and yellow trowsere, seemed particularly wrung, aud appealed to my friend to relieve such crying misfortune “ i will,” oxclaiined the yol- low-trowsered Job, •• give as much as you, sir, to relieve this man’s wants, although you seem richer than I.” Tbe pride of my friend was touched—that noble pride of generous •mutation whioh prompts to face tbe cannon and give munif icently to public churities. Burning with this holy flame, ho pressed upon the scorched hand of the mendicant a dollar bill, which found its way with a mysterious agility into his deepest pocket. But when my friend, with a face which glowed with an honest consciousness of having done a action, challenged the yellow-trowsered Job to du plicate his gift, that gentleman’s face looked on a mirthful cast, aud laying the thumb of his dexter hand upon his nose, with many a gyration, hc fa cetiously inquired if my friend had recently “come down,” aud whether ho should return without seeing’Barnum, and offering to sell him a second hand ticket of admission to the Park, after which he walked coolly away. My friend choked down his just indignation at such duplicity and strode away for the homeward ferry, not, however, be fore he had thc satisfaction of seeing his stubby hero and yellow trowsers busy in dividing the haul. His satisfaction was further heightened by hearing a “ looped and windowed ” urchin re mark to his companion^ while they crossed the river: “Say, Bill, that’s the Mister what old Stubbs got- ou a line.” My friend has taken a sol emn oath never ugain to “yearn ” to any form of wretchedness whatever. Once again is the world indebted to the perse vering investigations and practical scientific ob servations of an American experimenter for one of the most valuable discoveries of this prolific ago. The millions of tons of refuse clay and clinkor which yearly accumulates at our iron mines from the smelting furnaces—an unsightly worse than useless incumbrance—is no longer to be carted away as rubbish and dumped into gaping chasms and bottomless pools. It is now trans formed, by a simple process into the most beauti ful building stone, made to imitate according to fancy any of tho rarer and most durable rocks— cast into moulds of any size or shape, copable of receiving thc highest polish, scarcely effected by weather or time, substantial, ornamental and cheap. We can barely appreciate at first glance the full value of this important discovery. Already all tbe othor extraneous products of manufacture which for years has been held as worthless, wc knew were now turned to some account in the economy of tho age, but that the miserable little uncouth clay,"which drops from the iron ore should be ta ken into tho decoration of the magnifioent palaces of upper tendom, we never suspected. But as it is tho stone cutters chisel will soon be relieved of much of its labor. Already has a company with heavy capital been formed for the purpose of of fering to the world the benefits of tbe invention. The duel in high life between the chivalrio members of tho Shakspcare club continues to oc cupy a place in the conversations of the people, although more has beon said about it already than it deserves; the lovers of law and ordor are clam orous for the most energetic measures to bc taken to bring all thc parties to justice, instancing the determined course which was pursued in the case of Baker, whose conduct they judge on the same general principle as that of duelists. As yet all parties have succeeded in eluding the police, most of them being supposed to be secreted in the city. Four Days Later from Europe. . ARRIVAL OF THE STEAM SHIP ATLANTIC. HIGHLY IMPORTANT FROM SKAT OF WAR ! THE Oar ed ■ • rial ubiquity has been put sorely to the te :, this morning. . Truth has tri umphed, and wo are prepared to confess that wo did not see the “wonder” on Wed nesday night. We have been vainly at tempting for the last half-hour to patch np from borrowed accounts a tale to that effect, but we have been forced at length to relinquish it: nobody can give ns an accu rate description of this phenomenon which everybody unites in calling strange and fearful, except that it had the appearanco of a pillow of smoke. Was it black? Did it appear in the direction of Philadelphia ? Perhaps it was incense from the altar of Know Nothingism ; it may be that Vesu vius has burst himself; or are the desci- ples of Miller about to be gratified at- last? who will solve the question ? SANGUINARY CONFLICTS!! Success or the Allies ! 11 Eight Thousand Killed! New York, June 13, M.—The mail steam ship Atlantic has arrived, bringing news from Europe to the 2d inst. Her news is, by far, the most important since the battle of Alma. The Allies had captured Kersch in the i Sea of Azof, after a prolonged resistance; | had also carried tho Russian camp at ! Tchernaya, and gained several successes be- j fore Sebastopol. j The news comprises the accounts of the j three several successes of the Allied ar j mies. Firstly, of the French troops who were | completely victorious in a sanguinary co n I flict lasting through the whole of the 22d and 23d of May. Daring this battle the French took an important position of defence or place d’Armes before Sebastopol which they still retain. No fewer than 8,000 men were killed or wounded, mostly in hand to hand encounters ^with the bayonet. 1 The second success was in a brilliant and i rapid advance on Tchernaya, in which they j succeed in seizing and retaining the Russian i lines without sustaining much loss. The ! Russians abandoned their camp and retreat- I cd to the hills. The third success was the secret expedi- i tion of the Allies directed to the Sea of 1 i Azof. The expedition obtained possession j of thc fortress of Kertsch and command the ! Sea in which there arc fourteen of the Allie® ! steamers. Tho Russians, on approach of the enemy, blew up thc forts and set fire to four steam ers, thirty transports and half a million sacks of breadstuffs, to prevent them falling into the hands of the Allies. France and England have decisively de- | dined any further conferences at Vienna. Latest News.—Belgium is about joining the Allies. ! Breadstuffs dull and unchanged. Provi- j sions advanced. Cotton active. The French have established a camp at Tchergoun. It is now certain that Belgium will fur nish 20,000 nion to aid the Allies. Some hopes of peace are said to prevail in consequence of the recent Russian re verses. ADDITIONAL BY THE ATLANTIC Liverpool Market. New York, June 13.
