Pooa GIRLS.
Already we have often directed the attetition of our readers to the happy development of Lady Petre's noble institution in Honour of the Sacred Heart of Jesus, the Night Home for Poor Girls. Elsewhere in our columns will be found a very simple but, as it appears to us, a very eloquent statement of the actual position of that Charity at the present moment. Its benevolent originator there remarks in so many words that Freehold land in a most advantageous lecality for building purposes for the Charity can now be obtained, but will require, at least, £5,000 or £6,000 for the securing of the purchase before the building of the Time convent can be commenced. presses it is added for the land will soon be gone, soil for street -building purposes " Oh, how I wish," exclaims Lady Petre, evidently from the depth of her generous hoot, " that many more would come generously forward to enable me to secure this land to the Her Ladyship charity for ever !" adding with much force, " £5,000 or £6,000 or more is but a small sum compared to the numbers of Catholics in Great Britain and Ireland able to give." Surely this earnest appeal will be promptly and largely responded to.
event. The venerable prelate who celebrated the Nuptial Mass is 80 years old. He made a journey of 600 miles to perform that ceremony at the request of Mrs. Sherman, for whom and for whose tamily he has long entertained a warm affection. The Jesuit Church in which the wedding was solemnised is one of the most handsome in the country, and the scene during the ceremony was very splendid. The military and naval guests, and the members of the Diplomatic Corps, came in their brilliant uniforms. The toilettes of the ladies were magnificent, and the splentleur of the roles ()Hite Archbishop and the other clergy, among whom was the Bishop of Philadelphia, was dazzling.
Is it, we wonder, English facts ? beneath the dignity of the Shah to tarn low do to his interpreter and ask him, they spell Whig in England is it Vigh; or toast-is it tos ? So, again, the impression that " everybody must be killed who shows disrespect to a policeman," was one that might have been easily rectified without any profound erudition. We suspect that his Majesty was not so superior in his intellect as everybody wished to imagine. Those diamonds and that rigidness of manner were not infallible tokens of " mind." Those gold spectacles (lid not imply over-study, nor that quickness of speech ready wit. We fancy the Shah was a sham. We have not read that, since his return into Persia, he has inaugurated any striking improvements, such as his observations during his jeurney might have suggested. He has caused some streets in Teheran to be paved, but beyond this we have not heard of any novelty. Yet, when we consider the extent of his journey, the oppertunities which he had of learning much, the great objects with which it was supposed that he travelled, and last, but not least, the " Diary," we feel a considerable descent to the ridiculous when we glance at the r4tritie given by the Academy front the imperial volume.

The project of the Emperor William's journey to Roma is quite given up at Berlin, though we hear from Italy that they are still making preparations for him. THE EXPLOSION OF GUNPOWDER ON THE REGENT'S CANAL.
The explosion of gunpower which took place on the Regent's Canal is believed to have been caused by the barge "Tilbury" having been struck by a flash of lightning. A thousand houses at a moderate estimate, have been seriously injured, many of them being such wrecks that they have the appearance of having been riddled by alternate M.
