DEATH OF CARDINAL WISEMAN.

Cardinal Wiseman died at his town resi- dence, in York place Portman-square, on Wednesday morning, at eight @ clock. He had been for some years suffering from a painful and incurable diseas*, but his labors on behalf of his communication were enin- terrupted, except in intervals of great pain, and he bas not withdrawn from active work until very recently, the first sign of his seri- ous iliness being his inability to fulfil a pro- mise of lecturing at the Royal Institution. For some time his eminence had been slowly sinking.

According to theaccount given in ‘‘Men of the Time,’’ the deceased Cardinal was by birth a Spaniard and by deseent an Irishman. He was born at Seville in 1802. At an early age he was brought to England, and placed in St Cuthbert’s Catholic Col'ege at Ushaw, near Durham. He was thence removed to the English College at Rome, where he was ordained a priest, and made a doctor of di He was a professor for a time in the Roman University, and was then made r :- tor ef the English Coliege at Ushaw. Dr

| Wiseman came to England in 1825, and in

the winter of that year delivered a series of lectures. He subsequently returned to Rome, and is understood to have been instrumental in inducing Pope Gregory XVI. fo increase the YViears-Apostolic in England. The num- ber was doubled, and Dr. Wiseman exme back as coadjutor to Dr. Walsh of the mid- land district. He was also appointed presi- dent of St. Mary’s College, Gseott. In 1847 he again repaired to Rome on the affairs of the Catholics, and, no doubt, prepared the way for the subsequent change reselved on in

In the centre of Europe the action of France had to be exercised more resolutely. i wish- ed to render possible the solution of a difi- cult problem. The Convention of 15th September, disentangled from passionate in- | | terpretations, consecrates two great prin-| | ciples—the strengthening of the new king

i Holy See. Whe provisional and precarious | |state which excited so many alarms is about | to disappear. It is no longer separate mem- 'bers of the Italian country seeking to be junited, by feeble bonds, to a little State | situated at the foot of the Alps; itisa great country, which, elevating itself above local prejudices, scorning thoughtless impul- ses, boldly transports its capital to the heart of the peninsula, and places it in the midst of the Appenines as an impregnable citadel. By that act of patriotism Italy constitutes herself definitely, and at the same time re- eonciles herself with Catholicity. She en- wages to respect the independence of the Holy See, to protect the frontiers of the Roman States, and thas permits us to withdraw our troops. The Pontifical territory, efficacious- ly guaranteed, is placed under the safeguard of a treaty which solemnly binds the two Governments. The Convention is not then an arm of war, but a work of peace and con- ciliation.

In Mexico the new throne is becoming consolidated; the country is being pacified, its immense resourees are being developed— the happy effect of the valour of our soldiers, the good sense of the Mexican population, and the intelligence and energy of the Sovereign.

A Paris letter says the Empress, at a late hall, so dazzled the sight by a costume cover- ed with gems that the eye instinctively closed, after a moment’s gaze, a8 it does when the cloudless ray of a summer sunshine is too painful from its brightness. She wore a wide Anne of Bretagne girdle, failing seve- ral mehes over the skirt; a berthe reaching with its pendants to the waist; the throat encircled with a necklace of extraordinary width ; a regal tiara above the head, and amongst the soft auburn curls behind there dropped strands, meant to recall the spark-

diamonds, and of emeralds of the finest tone The brightness of the vision fairly startled the guests at the palace, accustomed as they Her Ma- jesty looked so delicate, so fragile, so mortal, under all these resplendent decoratione, the hebitual touch of melancholy which readers

Both parties deprecated war; but one of them would make war rather than let the nation survive, and the

other would accept war rather than let it

-rish—and the war came.

One-eighth of the whole population were

‘colored slaves—not distributed generally over the Union, but located in the Southern part}

of it. These slaves contributed a peculiar

/and powerful interest ;—ail knew that this

interest was somehow the cause of the war. Yo strenghtben, perpetuate this interest was the object for which the insurgents would rend the Union, by war, while the Government cluimed no right to do more than to restrict the territorial enlarge- ment of it.

Neither party expected the magnitude or the duration which it has already attained Neither anticipated that the cause of the conflict might cease even before the conflict itself should cease. Each looked for an easier trigmph, and a result less fundament- al and astounding. Both read the same Bible and pray to the same God, and each invokes Ilis aid against the other. It may seem strange that any man should dare to ask a just God's assistance in wringing their bread from the sweat of other men’s faces. But let as judge not that we be not judged. Tbe prayers of both should not be answered —that of neither has been answered fully. The Almighty has His own purposes. ‘* Wve unto the world because of offences, for it must needs be that offence come; but woe to that man by whom the offence cometh.”’

If we shall suppose that American slavery is one of these offences, which in the Pro- vidence of God must needs come, but which having continued through His appointed time, He now wills to remove, and that He gives to both North and South this terrible war, as the woe due to those by whom the offence came, shall we discern there is any departure from those divine attributes which the believers in the living God always ascribe to Him?

Fondly do we hope, ferventiy do we pray, that this mighty scourge of God may speed- ily passaway. Yet if God wills that it con- tinue until all the wealth piled by the bondsman’s 250 years of unrequited toil shall be sunk, and anti! every drop of blood drawn with the lash shall be paid by an- other drawn with the sword, as was said 300 years ago, so still it mast be eaid that

the judgments of the Lord are true and

rigliteous altogether.

With malice toward none, with charity for all, with firmness in the right as God gives us to see the right, let us strive to finish the work we are in; to bind up the

bevoee, though all the heavy supplies were eft.

The lower part of the city within reach of , our gang was in effect a ruin, and was almost /uninhabited. Comparatively few persons dared to remain there. Some of the houses were knocked down. Bricks and timbers were laying everywhere, and the streets were

strewn with the fragments, in many places entirely obstructing travel. Shells were lying among the rain. The appearance of

the city, the lower part uninhabitable and the upper t in flames, is described as dreary and desolate in the extreme.

According to the description given, the most inhuman and outragecus acts of cruelty were committed by the rebels when they eva- cuated, Viomen and children who had snatched from the Games a few bags of meal or corn, or an apronful of rice, were parsued by the cavalry and cut down with sabres. The rebels were exasperated to the nature of fiends when they approached a man who |Showed the least desire to share the late of

the city. Had they been allowed to exercise their own will, not a house would haye been left standing.

The firing of the Northeastern Railroad station, together with its contents of rice, meal and flour, was a proof of what they de- signed to do with all she buildings. . The rebels did their work too regardiess ef life or limb. In that railroad station were stored one hundred kegs of powder, which were | purposely ignited while a large crowd of | half-starved people were within gathering up a little quantity of meal to keep soul and body together. A most terrific explosion fol- lowed, the appalling resalt of which was the | killing and mangling of 350 human beings.

The tocal quantity of cotton destroyed by fire was about 4.000 biles. It is thought that about 10,000 bales are stili in the city. It is scattered arourd in small lots, some of the owners not having over twe or three bales.

In all, eight locomotives and twelve cars were captured. Two o* tho former are in running order. The remaining six will re- quire more or less repairing before they can be of service. A large force of laborers base been put to work on the railroad leading te Wilmington, thus indicating that we are about to do something in that direction.

The City Arsenal contains a considerable quantity of ammunitioa. Had our troops been five minutes later in reaching the city, the arsenal would have been fired by a party of rebels who were detailed for the purpose. In the open space oppcsite the citadel are piles of shells suited for the 300-pounder guns which Gen. Hardey bursted on the morning he took his leave.

Terrisce Errecrs or rus Exrosion oF a Kerosene Lawe.—Mr. Delos Brewer informs us by a letter of a most heart-rending accident which oceurred at North Collms on Monday evening, resulting in the death of Mrs. Uria Clark, and the serious and probably fatal in- jury of three of ber children and a girl aged thirteen. Mrs. Clark and her three children were seated at a table, on which was placed a lighted lamp, which tue girl undertook to fill with kerosene. In attempting this the blaze communicated to the oil in the can, causing the explosion of both the can and the lamp, and instanly enveloping all four persons in a sheet of ‘iquid fire. Efforts were made in vain to extinguish the flames. The unfortunate mother was burned te bleck- ness from head to foot, and her features 80 horribly disigured that her most intimate friends could not recognise her.
