Her Catholic Majesty the Queen of Spain has is- | sued a royal decree, under date of 5th January, 1853, directed to the Captain-General of the island of Cuba, and containing several provisions, of which the fol- lowing are the principal :— 1. Considering the services which, since their foundation, the clergy of St. Vincent de Paul have Jent to the church, and the obligation in which their rules bind them, not only to consecrate themselves to | theireligious education of such as are destined to the | sacred of the priesthood, but, also, in occu- | | weakness to The old gentleman was | | court. other rights, 80, also, it would be always a culpable | permit one’s own rights to be Sraiapied | under foot. And such is the inelegant course which | Mr. Everett premeditatedly attril to the honor- | able and respectable Mr. Fillmore. His bitterest | detractors could not deduce against him a greater insult, nor would it be possible to place on a more false the defence of his acts. | For the rest, the language of Mr. Everett lacks at mt every real importance. The institutions of ‘he United States are such that the presentadminis- tration is, so to k, a phantasm of government, which might be called a vacuum, from the time the result of the past election was published until the inauguration of the new government’at the begin- ning of next March. The situation of the transitory and ephemeral secretaryship of Mr. Everett, con- ferred and accepted under such conditions. does not: certainly escape the common law. So, the lan; of his despatch may be considered as a ter, and asan exercise of rhetoric by to attract applause without bringing on he obligations attached to an official document and post. Mr. Everett being a_ politician of Massachusetts, | an ancient admirer of its great statesman, and im} | bued somewhat with his doctrines, it is not strange that he would aspire to compete with the celebrated correspondence between his predecessor and the di- plomatic representative of Austria. Whether we made a mistake. months past, in judging the office of the deceased orator of Marshfield as one which offer- | ed the least chance for worldly repose, is a point | which daily experience is every instant charged with | Nor is there less confirmation given at the same time to another axiom, established by us previous to the electoral contest, and which many then considered as a paradox. As the whigs are losing place, some of their chief men begin to work in acquiring a certain kind of popularity in certain circles, letting us know very clearly that the party, taken unitedly, bas very little if any advantage over its rivals. On the con- | trary, according asthe democrats approach power, | | they begin ee lly*to temporize to necessities, to dis- card their old exaggerations, and to be converted into respectable statesmen. If the latter, therefore, | | are no better than the former, still we derive conso- | lation from the reflection that they are no worse. | With that progressive enlightenment which at pre- | sent we are groping at, candid souls maay henceforth free themselves from much unprofitable cavilling. | Very high and lasting influences, not the puerile | strife of mere names, are those which govern the | present situation of the world. Our foresight and | our management should take this truth as a guide. | | pS Bl Lawdntelligence. | Scpremr Court or Tux Unrrep States.—Jan. 31.—Joseph J. Merrick, Esq., of Maryland, and Sidney G.

One of the most pious institutions, and from which the church has derived the most useful and seasonable fruits under a modest form, although in reality of great and beneficial influence in the moral and religious education of youth, is, and has been since its origin, that of the “ Fathers of Pious Schools,” whose im, ce Was not onl nized by the National Cortes in the law of 5th March, 1845, but the views of ite pious founders were gene- rally adopted by the Catholic nations, having been establiehed in t! various religious congregations | consecrated to the education of youth; and I, de- siring that all classes of the island should participate in such advantages, but more especially the class of artisans, and other poor persons of the large popula- tions, thereby supplying the vacuum which the want of Belemnite fathers has left in Havana and Cuba, it is my will and pleasure that two houses of the Escu- fathers be established in those points which may be deemed suitable, and receive the resources destined to this object; in whose colleges, besides the rudimentary education for the poor classes, the moderately weulthy may receive the finished and re- ligious education which is given in the colleges of the P 3, The Society of Jesus bei Philippine islands, and having lent such signal ser- vices to religion and to the State, and considering that it may always lend services of great importance—de- siring, also,on the other hand, to satisfy the want generally felt by those loyal inhabitants of establish- ments in which their sons might be educated, I have determined that there shall be established for the resent, feserving still more for other places, a col- | lege of the Society of Jesus in such of the suppressed convents of Havana as may appear fit, with the obli- | gation of charging themselves with the superior se- condary education, according to the approved plan. 4.

Tue Late Master Bensamin Prerce.—The Concord Congregational Journal publishes the fol- lowing interesting memento mori of the late Master Benjamin Pierce:—The bright and manly little fel- low, whose death has awakened so deep and univer- sal sympathy tor the desolate parents, was worthy of all the affection with which they cherished him, and of all the hopes they entertained of him. A mere | child as he was, of only eleven years, he possessed a | inind of such rare sobriety, that it could not be daz- zled by the brilliant scenes opening before him, and to which, as was natural, others around him were ing allusion. It being remarked to him, a few weeks ago, by a gentleman quite intimate with him, that he supposed he must be highly pleased and elated with the prospect of leaving dull Concord, and living in the great city of Washington and the White House, he replied that “he had no wish to go, and only hoped his father would put him on a farm and leave | him there, as that would be far more agreeable.” Another asked him, at a different time, what profes- sion or business he intended to follow. He said he | meant to be a farmer. But, asked the gentleman, | how will you buy a farm? “I will work out,” was Perbaps, enongh to buy it. ‘‘No,” was the instant reply, will work ont and earn it; my father has no mor money than he wants; and if he gives me any, I will give it to the missionaries.” He had received kind contiguous religious instructions from his earliest rears, Which seem to have made an impression on | his tender mind, and to have created in him, thus early, an interest in the cause of Christian heneyo- | lence. Indeed, he was often seen at the monthly con- cert in company with his parents. He was aldo a member of the Sabbath school. We are told that when their pastor attempted to minister the consola- tions of the Gospel to these heart-broken and over- whelmed parents, soon after the fatal occurrence, fhe only reply of the father was, in the language of an- | other, ‘‘ Clouds and darkness round about him ; jus | tice and judgment are the habitation of his throne.” | Such a belief in God's universal government can alone | sustain the heart under a stroke like this. May it be | able to sustain them. Horrmur TRAGEDY 1x Ouro.—The Tuscara- was (Ohio) Advocate, has the following account of a ~most brutal homicide:—On last Saturday, a murder in cold blood was perpetrated, near Bolivar, in this county. lH appears that two brothers, of the name of O'F ray, were wrestling, when the eldest one, aged | about sixty, raised a stick of wood to strike the | other. The wife of the deceased one interfered, and oe him not to strike her hnsband, who was | reeling under the effects of intoxication. He made some violent threats, when she left to arouse the neighbors. In a short time she returned with some of her friends, and saw the lifeless form of her hus band, his head all beat into a jelly. The murderer was sitting on a log near by, and appeared to he unmoved at the awful crime he had just committed. | Hewas arrested, and is now in jail awaiting his trial. Cororep Persons IN Pewnsytvanta.—Two important bills were reported in the Pennsylvania | Legislature, on the 31st ult., one to prevent colored persons from acquiring a residence in that State; | and the other to prevent fagitives from labor in other States and slaves manumitted by their masters from setting in Pennsylvania, | appearance and leaped in.

The three gentlemen above named being inside, one immediately rushed to the door and unbarred it, while the other two sized the cashier and clerk. Mr. Quinn having got inside, the disarming of the cashier was effected by the ad- mittance of Andrew Roach and one or two others. Mr. Cornwell, the cashier, they say, fought man- fully, and had it been in a just cause, would nodoabt have redounded to his credit. He made a pass at Mr. A. Roach with a “colt,” who evaded the blow and disarmed him, when he called to his clerk, Mr. Campbell, to get his revolver out of his breast- pocket. In effecting this it dropped on the floor, and Mr. B. K. Roach was soon master of it. About this stage of the conflict the watch do; i but was soon quieted by a blow from an iron poker in the hands of Mr. J. C. Scott. During the short time that this was going on inside, a large mob had collected on the outside, some of whom had closed the outside shutter and poo a plank against it. Mr. Quinn, with the aid of a crowbar, soon open- ed the shutter, and lifting the window called to his | men on the outside # come in, when a dozen or more of the brawny-shouldered b’hoys made thetr daring which time, in the bank, several ict some of the mob attem) to force the door open with agJank.

Search was then made for money, and S. Shawk, with his sledge, and the aid of bars in the hands ofa few others, seen effected an entrance into the vault.

Dipromatic Courrrsres.—With the permission of the Secretary of the Senate, says the Washington Union, we have transferred to our columns the follow- | ing remarkable paper, taken from a manuscript book \ in his office. Itis a rule store shoae unofficially, by the members of the Senate, soon after the establish- ment of the federal government, in regard to their | first intercourse with foreign ministers arriving in | the United States. Though the origin of the rule has been long forgotten, the usage which grew up under it has continued to the present time. When this rule was scoped the Senate consisted of twen- | ty-six members, of whom, as appears ty the journal, | only nineteen were then present at the seat of go- vernment. Every one of these, with the yenerable John Adams, Vice President of the United States, at their head agreed to the rule. The States represent- ed by these Senators are indicated in parentheses:— | Present, October 26, 1791—The Vice President; Messrs. Burr, (N. Y.); Butler, (S. C.) ; Cabot, (Mass.); Dickinson, N.

Horrmie Mvurper iw Srovucuron.—Mary Humphrey, an Irish woman, wife of Thomas Hum- vey, of Stoughton, murdered her daughter Mary | Elizateth, aged three and a half years, on Tuesday morning, by cutting its throat with a razor. When the child was found, she was lying on _her left side, | dead, in a bed in a bedroom where her father and mother usually slept. From the examination, it ap- pee that the unfortanate woman had awakened er husband during the previous night, screaming; that she appeared to be afraid to stay in the house, expressing a fear thatshe would be killed. Her hus- band finally pacified her. He then called a neigh- bor in to sitwith him. When she had become calmer the neighbor went home, and Humphrey left his wife in bed in the bedroom, with three children, one older | and one younger than deceased, in bed with her. Ina few minutes she came out into the kitchen, went to a closet and went back again. Presently he heard | a gurgling sound, as he said, in the bedroom. He went to the door, and, in lookingin, heheld his wife | sitting up in bed and trying to cut her own throat arazor. He seized her and dragged her out of the bed, and the razor fell out of her grasp. He then thumped on the wall for his neighbor McDonald, who came in, and going into the bedroom found the Elizabeth, lying in blood, with her throat cut, dead. The wound was threc inches long, | and both carroted arteries were severed. The woman was committed to Dedham jail, to await the April term of the Court of Common Pleas for Norfolk coun- th.— Boston Mail, Feb. 3. ConrLaGration aT Brocwrort.——About half- | past one o'clock this morning a fire was discovered in the rear of Skidmore & Chappell's store, and the fire spread go fast that the whole block was soon in flames. Some ten different business establishments on the ground floor, with offices and other apart- | ments in the igen stories, are all consumed. Among the losers are:—Jsaae Davis, grocery and provision | store; D. Saxton, saddler and harness maker; J. A. Roberts, barber; KE. B. Holmes & A. J.

A JcpGk ARRAIGNED BEFORE A JUSTICE OF THT | Prack.—Judge Jonathan Cilley was arraigned be- | fore ers Riley yesterday, on omer of a ser- | vant girl who is named Margaret Farrington, who testified that a day or two since she informed the Judge that she was going to Jeave his employ, and that she wanted a settlement. Upon being asked | how much he owed her, she replied about $65 or $70, whereupon the Judge angrily said it was not so—it could not be more than z or $7. He handed her $15 in money, and asked her to sign a receipt in fall of all demands. She refused, and (not being able to write) he caught hold of her, and endeavored to compel her to make her mark. She screamed, and, while holding her hand, she testifies that he made the mark himself. The case being clearly made out as an assault and battery, the magistrate required him to give $500 bail to anawer. The difficulty oc- curred at th 1 i on Seventh street, near Smith selle, Jan. 29. Extenpina tHe Area or Freepom.—In the Senate of Ohio a series of resolutions have been re- cently introduced, from which we take the following | as the most important:— Resolved, That if it he Heaven's will, as we think it is, to consecrate the whole continent, with the | islands of the sea adjacent thercto, to freedom, and to place them under the protection of our flag, true American citizens will not murmur at the decrees of Providence, but, on the contrary, with all other good Christians, will say, ‘* God’s will be done.” Ramnoap Disasrer.—Mr. David Van Pelt, an aged resident of Middletown Point, was killed while walking on the track near Hightstown, by a train | coming behind him, on Saturday afternoon last. He | was seen by the engineer two miles off, and the whistle was blown, but being entirely deaf, the warn- ing was unheeded. The body was very much man- | gled by the blow, the head being almost entirely de- | stroyed.—Newark Advertiser, Feb.

Hicks asked Moore if he would stand the bet with him; Moore imme- diately pulled out $400 more Virginia money, and placed it in the hands of White. Moore told ite now to open the ball,and produce the paper; he opened the ball and out came the paper. To use a cant expression, Moore now found If sold, and asked enough to his way home, as that was all the money he had; but White immediately walked off to the woods. Hicks then said to Moore, I’ll pursue the rascal and kill him—he grasped Moore's hand, and asked if he was a mason? Moore replied no! Hicks then said he would pursue White, him, take the money, and bring it to the hotel, telling Moore at the same time not to reveal the circum- stance—said he did not mind the hundred that he (Hicks) bad lost, but thought that Moore was a poor man, and could not afford to loose the amount—he then ped his cane, and went in the direction of White. Moore then returned to the hotel, and lodged complaint at the police office on Monday aecesitnes Officers Levy, Jowitt, and Law- ton, kept upon his trail, and on Tuesday, succeeded in arresting White in his bed.

They were then searched, and on-White was found ten $100 bills in bogus money. On Martin Wood was found $28 in good money. His baggage was then brought to the guard house and searched, and in his trunk was discovered twelve finely finished brass watches, of little or no value, intended to de- ceive strangers, and which are frequently sold at mock auctions. Mr. Bryan came over from the po- lice office to the guard house, and identified Martin Wood as the one who had won his money, but was willing to compromise matters by receiving back his eighty dollars.
