CARDINAL RICHELIEU’s GUEST. , Cardinal de Richelieu has always been eon- sidered a great minister, and on some accounts he well deserved the name. He rendered an immense service to monareby, in dispatebing the last heads of the feudai hydra, and litera- ture owes him much for the establishment of the French Academy. Although himself but an indifferent writer, he was ever ready to eu- courage the arts, and paid liberally for the efforts of others. The Cardinal, however, could not endure that his acts should be made the subject of comment, particularly since some of them were of acharacter not calcu- lated to elicit very warm commendation from lovers of morality. The more powerful, ia- deed, occasionally indulged in freedom of speech; but woe to the humblo individua! that was indisereet enough to publicly find fault with the peecadilloes of his Eminence. With such he had a summary way of privately deating, which effvctually closed their lips in the future. M. Damont, a small merchant offthe Rue St. Dennis, received one morning a letter, dated Rucil, a little village on the outskirts of Paris, where the Cardinal had a country seat. This letter contained an invitation to sup ior the next day with his inence. M. tout could not believe his eyes; he letter several times, looked at the direciion, and finally conciuded that he must indeed be [From the Oshkosh (Wis ) Union j In the wostern part of the county of FPool- du-lae, Wisconsin, in a beautiful district of country, lies the pleasant town of Coresco.

The history and doctrines of the Establish- incat we gather from the ings of a mass woeting held in the neighboring vil of Ri- pon, called to hear the report of an Iuvesti- guting committee, and to take some st to put dowa the nuisance.

The horribic nature of these J». ines may be judged of by the fulluwing brief symopsis : 1.

The history of “Ceresco Union’ may be briefly given It seus (as stated by the in- vestigating commilt..) that a Dr. Nowberry arrived in Ceresco last summer, where certain minds had been prepared for his doctrines by tho study of the works of Nichols. That New- berry tanght all the pernicious doctrines of the books which we have reviewed.

Tlie evewel was made in * ivcenoe of maay who now form the “ Union” who were there countenancing and upholding him. It ap- P that another important character among the *‘ Ceresco Unionists"’ is Mr. Warren Chase. Wo quote from him the proceedings : Mr. Ruunels introduced to the attention of the mecting, and read a letter in relation to Waren Chiaso, which letter purported to be from a gentleman in Onondaga County, N. Y., representing that Mr. Chase had been guilty of criminal and licentious conduct in conneo- tion with a ludy in Auburo, and that be had left her in an extremely unhappy condition. Mr. Gould donounced Warren ae black-bearted scoundrel. Mr. Runnels sald the facts against Mr. Chase were not isolated ; they were abundart and notorious. A very vola:minous correspondence had been made public, which revealed the character of Mr. Ohase in this respect. That developed the fact that at least six different women had become victims of Mr. Ohase; he had read these letters; he (Chase) can be traced by his amvurs and illicit intrigues all over the country How they Catch Codfish. Codfish are caught with 1 books, and are taken from the bottom. “Pach fish: bas a strong line of from sixty to sevesty fath- oms in length, to which is attached a lead of a cylindrical shape, weighing about five pounds.

The whalebone serves to keep the hooks about a iovt apart, so there is little danger of their becoming entangled with each other.

He must be educated for the church, the bar, the law, or fur the post of civil engineer—hence, thoee professions are over-run, and hundreds, nay, thousanc's of young men are a burthen upon their families, being unable to find anythingtodo. Copyicts, as a class, are badly paid for their services; but as theirs isa mechanical occupation, re- quiring little excercise of the mind, it cannot reasonubly be e: that they should re ceive the wages of any skillful mechanic.
