Among the passengers on the Cuba was Mr. Henry’! Howard, formerly of the British Embas- sy here under Sir Frederick Brace. Heis now attached to the Commission. The official despatch from the British Foreign Office regard. ing the appointment of the High Commission was submitted to the C; Legisiature yesterday. Judging from what is said Ear! Kimberly, the question of the payment of damages for the Fenian raids will be en‘orced upon the notice of the members representing the United States in the Commission Soetety. Washington rociety is faithful to all ite duties, and when ithas become the thing to exchange par-.ies and receptions for church once and even twice a day, the duty is cheerfully accepted. Yemerday in all the Catholic churches, trom early morning, there wasa large attendance, and at the 1] o'clock service in the Episcopal churches there was scarcely a vacant seat. Ash ‘Wednesday and Washington's birthday falling this year, and it being a holiday, the gentlemen were able to unite with the ladi oe sing and |: to words of warn- ing and «| counsel. The Christmas decora- tions all been removed, and the music-was of asolemn character. The dressing was sombre and each one, now the fun was over, seemed intent upon feeling sorry, and we doubt not there was much fervor and sincerity in the Lyne for amendment. Lent is as much of @ sanitary benefit as the holy Sabbath, tor the abstinence enjoined is who! , and the cessation of the round of dissipation lah rest to the weary body. It will vanes some to pause in their mad career, and think of the more scrious duties of jife; it will arouse the ormant conscience, and divert money from caterers and musiciansto the reall and ——.

Then there will be social tea-parties, too, and friends meet- ing in ti evening, where there will be many things discussed that have lain dormant all winter; but for all that, as we said above, the gay season proper is over, and we are in ‘more than one sense glad or it. +s0e- The Bowen Bigamy Case. & Augusta (Ga.)
