About eight years ago, in a certain town in the South of Ireland, a Ca tholic priest denounced the Prote?tant minister of the place, publicly Irom the altar, dining the Sunday'servjccs. On the next Sunday, five ruffians with blackened faces, surrounded the same gentleman's buggy on the road about seven miles from the town, seized.him, shot him, and ...i.,i ii.rt ' lu'lv in -the vehicle.

The murderers were afterwards arrested, tried and executed, and the priest was also' convicted and transported.1 These facts were elicited on the trial, hnd it further appeared that the prin- cipal inuruerer naa been procured irom a ais- i tance, ana was rewarded tor tue cteea oy a smi ling subscription in the congregation over which the same priest presided. We have this statement from a respectable Irishman, who knows the facts personally, and is worthy' of full confidence.

The Senate has passed the Revenue bill as it came from the Commons, having re-considered and struck out on the third reading the amendments it had made on the first. A supplemental bill has, however, passed the Senate, containing proposed amendments to the Commons bill ; but, it is doub:fu) whether the latter body -will have time to act npon it. The Commons was engaged on Monday on the Bank bills. The bill incorporating the Bank of Wilmington, iih a capital of 800,080, passed it third and last reading in that body, and will doubtless become a law. All attempts do get to a vote on the Bank of the State and the Cape Fear, failed. It seems now to be con sidered doubtful whether these two Banks will be re-chartered at the. present session. , ' On Monday- night the two II u-es rescinded the joint, resolutions to adjourn to-day, Wednes day, and they thou agreed to adjourn on Satur day next, at twelve o'clock, M.

Let it not be forgotten that the Charleston tatholic Miscellany in January, 1S55, says "That the Pope is supreme head of the church, and as such has plenitude of authority over kiugs as well as their subjects, is an article of Faith which the King of Naples and his Jesuit subjects are bemud to believe, in com mon with all other Christians, under peuaky of everlasting damnation." But can the Miscellany reconcile this ''pleni tude of authority over kings" &e., which is an article of faith in the Catholic church, with the speccli of Mr. Chandler in the house of Repre sentatives, wherein he says. "Mr. Chairman, the Roman Catholic church neither holds or inculcates a doctrine of pow er in its head to interfere in the affairs of tem poral governments, to disturb the monarch, or release the subject. It never has held any such doctrine." - Watch, and Ob. United States Senator fou iLLixors. Springfield HL) Feb. 8, 1855.

The Governor goes on to say : There is every renson to believe that the expense of bleaching would be compartively small, as the stalk of the tulc, when ripe, aud before discolored, by rain, is nearly white. being coated with a heavy and strong fibre, and internally filled with cellular tissue, with numer ous strong longitudinal fibres, it is believed to possess all the necessary qualities required."

The process was first made public at the London exhibition, and has been patented. Tep.rific Excieement in a Church. A large congregation, says the Oswego (N. Y.) Palladium, assembled at St. Mary's Church (Catholic) on the evening of Sunday, the 4th inst., to hear a dis course from the Rev. Mr. Guerdet. The edifice was dense'y crowded, not less than 2,500 persons being present. Just before the sermon was con cluded ah alarm of fire was sounded in the street, when several persons went out. This caused some confusion, and the services were suspended tempo rarily until order could be restored. The congre gation had mostly risen upon their feet, and the number going out increased; the a.sle had become filled, and an immense crowd had reached the door way. At this moment a terrific cry was raised at the door that the " church was on fire." A panic instantly seized the whole audience, the crowd at the door rushed with terrific fright hack towards 'the alter, tramping and crushing each other in a most frantic manner. Women screamed and faint ed, children screeched with terror, men rushed to the windows and dashed through them, carrying sash and all, women and men were seen rushing across the tops of the pews to the rear of ihe build ing, preM niing si scene of cofusion, fright and ter ror that is totally indescribable. The dense ma.-s in the aisles were forced hack towards the alter with irresistable power, in hopes of getting egress through and "getting out that way. Some went to work battering down a doorway on the south side of the wet end of the church, w hich was not used and had been permanently closed. Some fifteen minuie elapsed before the alarm was found to be false, when most of the congregation had got out A number of the ladies were carried home in a fainting condition, and several were more or less injured; but we have heard of none beh g hurt se riously. Death of a Slave 111 years old. The Rev. A. L. -Green. D. !., of Na-hviUe, Tenn., commu!iiea!e io the editor of the Nashville Me dical Journal the following incidents attending what he teinis "the natural death' of one ot iris servants, at the advanced age of 111 years. Dr. Green is known to many as one of the com missioners of the Methodist Episc-pal Church South, iiif the settlement, of the late difficulty between I he church north and south. "1 piomi.-ed ou that I would furnish you with some of the facts connected with the !at days of Aunt l'hidis, an old negro woman of mine, who died last fail. Aunt Fhd.i was at the lime of her death, at the lowest estimate 111 years old, anJ the probability is, that siie was several years older.. ' For fifty years she has enjoyed uninterupted health, and as far as I have been able to h am. she was never sick in her life except at the birth f her children. tor thirty years ot her lite, nd down to within three yeais f her death, he did nots-eem to undergo the slightest eh mge in tier appearance lime exercising on nine power over her. The firtis:g of decay was that of sight, which took place about tbivc years bet'oiv her death ; up io that time she was in the full eiij"V'iieiit of ail her eiis-s. and at 104 years would have married an old negro man of 75, it" I had not olj cied. "Her sight (ail d not in the tisuai way, but she became near-Mghted, not being able to see bjects at a di.tance. S on nfer this her tearing declined, but up to the time of her death she could hear better than old. persons general ly do. llie hist indication ot mental failure was that of locality, she not being a!'e to rind her wav to a neighbor's house, vet her memory seemed perfect in ad other respects. Site recol lected her friends and her o.d acquaintances, but could not rind her way to their houses. "I at first supposed tnat this was owing to defective s;ght, but on examination found it was in the mind. Still her locomotion was good : she had the full use of heiself, and could walk strong and quick like a young person, and hold herself up so straight that, when walking from tne, I often took her for some of the younger servants about the premises. The next, and to ine the most singular sign of decline was, that she lost the ait of walking, not that she had not strength enough to walk, but forgot how to walk. The children would lead her forth and in terest her for a while, and she would get the idea, which seemed to delight her very much, and she would walk about the jard and poiches until some person would tell her she had walked enough but she would no sooner take her seat and sit for a few moments, beforfe. all idea of walking would be gone, and she would have to be taught again. ' At length she became unwilling to try to walk, unless she had hold of something ; take her by the arm and she would walk, and walk well, but just as soon as you would let her go, she would stop, and if no further aid was afford ed her, she would get down and crawl like a child ; and at length became so fearful that she refused to walk altogether, and continued to sit up during the day, but had" to be put to bed and taken up like a child. After a while she be came unwilling to get up, altogether, and con tinued to he until she died. "All this time she seemed to be in good health, took her regular meals, and her stomach and bowels were uniformly in good condition. I oftn examined her the best I could, and she had no pains, no sicknes, no aches of any kind, and from her own account, and from all that I was able to learn, she was in good health, and all the w hile in iinet spirits. The intellect and the mind seemed to be perfectly good, only that she did net seem to know where she was all the time. ' At length one of the children said to me. that aunt Fhillis was getting cold, and, on exam ining her, I found it even so ; the extremities were cold ; still she took her regular meals, and did not complain- of anything ; and the only change that I recollect of was that she slept a little more than usual. Ihe coldness increased for two days, wlreu she became as cold a'most as a dead person. Her breathing began at length to shorten, and grew shorter and shorter till she ceased to breathe. " Death closed in npon her like gng into a soft, sweet slee), and for two minutes it was difficult to tell whether she was breathing or not. There was no contortion, no struggle, no twisting of the muscles, but after death she might have still been taken on slight examina tion, to have been in a deep sleep, bo passed away; Phillis the only natural death I ever .... 4.

Since our publication week before last of a long letter from China, giving an account of the revolution, and setting forth that the hope of China is in the success of the Tae Ping Wang rebellion, the lie v. I. J. Roberts, a Baptist mis sionary to the Chinese, has ariived in this city Irom the field of his labors. The object, of his return home, where he designs to make only a temoorary stay, is to seek men and means in aid of the missionary work in China. For this purpose; he makes an app'eal to his denomina tion through the Recorder and Register, in which he gives some facts concerning the revo lution, that confirm our correspondent's state ments, and are hopeful of the freedom of Chi na. He says : 1. It is a fact that T ie Ping Wang is so . firmly established at Nanking that no Tartar force will ever be ahlo to expel him. 2. It is a fact that the revolutionary spirit is so univen-aHy dillused through China that no foreign power, if directed against the patriots, (and God forbid that such should be allowed,) co'tld extinguish it; if driven out of Nanking it would come to consummation elsewhere. 3. It is a fact that Ta ; Ping Wang destroys idols and publishes the Scriptures without note or comment. ; hence, that h:s revolution gives greater promise lor China's renovation and ad vancement than any thing we had ever dreamt of before ! 4. It is a fac that he and his party have so licited the aiding co-operation of wist! counsel lors, skillful p!i siccus, surgeons, and raissuma r'us ; and oilered a largi mjiiev inducement. N. Y. Obs.

T! e Delaware is completely choked up with heavy ice, and in front, of the upper part of the city it forms a bridge that is taken advantage of bv numbers, who are continually crossing and recrossing. At Market street the channel to the Jfersey shore is kept open by the ferry boats, and the com munication yesterday wasnot interrupted. The Kaighn's Point ferry boat also made its trips to South Camden yesterday. The City lee Boat, in its passage up and down the river, has broken up the. ice, but it is not yet affjeted by the tide. Above the city the skaters are numerous, and the stationary ice opposite the lower gait of the city is occupied by them, though there is not much clear ice upon which to njoy the sport.

A Great Bi.essinq to the Afflicted. Dr? M'Larfe, the inventor of the celebrated Liver Pills, used these pills for several years in his practice, be fore he could be induced to offer them to the public in suah a manner as to make them known through out the country. This learned physician felt the, same repugnance that all high-minded men of sci- ' encefeel in entering the lists against those unscru pulous empirics who obtrude their useless nostrums upon the public, and rely uponia system of puffing to sustain them,. Convinced, however, of the real value of the Liver Pills, and influence by the plain dictates of duty, the Doctor finally sacriliced his del icate feelings on the altar of public good. His great medicine has not disappointed the expectations of the medical practitioners, at whose instance he was induced to forego his inclinations. From every quar ter do we hear the most gratifying accounts of its wonderful curative effects the Eastland the West, the North and the South, are alike laden with "ti dings of great joy" from the afflicted. These won derful Pills have completely conquered that great scourge of America, the Liver Complaint. Purchasers will be careful to ask for Dr. M'Lane's Celebrated Liver Pills, and take none else. There are other Pills, purporting to be Liver Pills, now before the public. Dr. M'Lane's Liver Pills, also his Celebrated Vermifuge, can now be had at all respectable Drug Stores in the United States and Canada. An ounce of fact is worth a pound of theory ; and' the swarm of conclusive facts that cluster around that incomparable preparation, Hoofland's German Bitters, prepared by Dr. C. M. Jackson, Philadel phia, establishing its value as a tonic and restora tive, are such as would prevent incredulity itself from questioning, its efficacy. In all cases of dis eases of the stomach, whether acute or chronic, it may be recommended for its soothing, cordiat, and renovating influence. Dyspepsia, heart-burn, loss of appetite, nausea, nervous tremors, relaxation and debility, tc, are relieved by the Bitters in a very short space of time; and a perseverance in their use never fails to work a thorough cure.

The introduction of appropriate Ilulstrations into literary papers is becoming more common and popular everyday, and their useful tendeney will be appreciated by all who ihave observed their power of suggesting new and pleas 7 ng reflections to the most careless mind None but such as are suitable to the character of the paper, and decided ly ornamental to it, will be used. The most cultivated in tellect need not be offended by them, 4ud many persona will derive as much pleasure from this source, as from the most interesting reading the paper can contain. The interest and gratification of the young, especially, will b promoted by such means. Any thing that pleases their . eyes, finds a ready access to their hearts, and a fondness for reading may thus be produced, which will contribute much to their future improvement. One of the objects contemplated by the Proprietor is to encourage NATIVE TALENT, and to stimulate LITERA RY EFFORT. The columns of the Post will therefore be freely open to contributions of a useful tendency, and such literary merit as to justify insertion.

A distinct head will always be reserved for items of local interest or events in the daily history of North Carolina. Under the head of Literary Notices the reader will often find brief notices or more extensive reviews of books re cently published, and it is hoped that this feature of the paper will recommend it to a large class of subscribers. In order to sustain the character of the paper and ren der it truly efficient in the various departments, the Pro prietor has secured a corps of Editors, in whose qualifica tions he has entire confidence, and whose fidelity to the -best interests of the country is unquestionable.
