The Roman correspondent of the New York Herald, writing tinder the date of October 30th, gives the following account of the expulsion of the nuns from their convents in the Eternal City : “There is a general law of the kingdom suppressing all religious orders. This law so far has remained a dead letter in Rome, where convents, religious institutions and orders pullulate only through the defer ence which Minister Lanzal wishes to show for the Holy Father and the Holy See. There have been exceptions to this general indulgence. The authorities ap propriated the Quirinal I’alace and all the other buildings which were absolute ly needed to run the machine here, and to the great disgust of the monks and nuns, although they were indemnified by certain moneys to be drawn and paid out of the national treasury. The fraterni ties looked upon Italy as a bad payer and protested ; but nevertheless, the strong arm of power turned them out of their property, and they were forced to make the best of their surroundings. Day before yesterday expropriation fell upon the two convents already mentioned; their buildings were wanted for military purposes, and so the public force went to take possession of them. As early as half past six in the morning the slum bers of the nuns were disturbed at th® Convent of Santa Teresa by loud knocks at its door, and upon its owning by the pastor of the establishment the Govern ment Commissioners, and a notary, were ushered in. In these operations the Gov ernment sends a notary, on tho idea that the thing must be done in accordance with the forms of law, although it strong ly smacks of a piece of irony to the par ties thus ousted, who declare that confis cation law is no law, but more might. The invaders of other people’s houses be ing introduced in the parlor, a priest asks their business and informs them that he has been charged with the direction and the keeping of the convent by no less personage than His. Holiness himself by positive and direct ordere from the Vatican. Those orders are for the occu pants to be put out of doors only by force, and not to consent to any mere calm walking away. In this we have an ink ling of that strong, uncompromising will which animated the old temporal sway over tho city and which animates still the spiritual sway over the faithful. Three nuns completely vailed, are visible. The first solemnly and impressively en joins upon them to retire to their private rooms, where the balance of the sisters are, and this they immediately proceed to do, after piously kissing the hand of the Pope’s agent. They are to go and wait to be shoved out of the house ; nor do they have to wait long, for the mere inspec tion of the apartments by the royal cara bineers effectually drivés the pious ladles into banishment into the outer world 'of the streets, the priests following at their heels. The notary, by order, makes a process-verbal of the operation, and lo ! Victor Emanuel has another convent, but without any nuns. No one can tell whet® they went, or who took them in, weary and abandoned ; but it is generally be lieved that they scattered and took refuge in other convents which have not yet been ‘expropriated.’ • A similar operftUfrn was gone through with at the monastery of St. Antonio Abate.” A N ew U se of L eaves .—A Vermon ter hgs recently tanned several sides 6f leather with lye leached from forest leaves. He has been experimenting with leaves for two months, with satisfactory results. One ton of leaves, it is asserted, will tan as much leather as five cords of bark, and will complete the process in half the time. When leaves and bark are mixed in equal proport ions, one- fourth the time is sawd. The leather tanned by this process, it is claimed, is more flexible and smoother than that tanned by bark, while the strength of tho raw hide is retained in a greater degree. W orth K nowing .—The following, to prevent pitting from small-pox, may be of value to our citizens in future: An ointment made of charcoal and lard, ap plied freely over the face, neck and hands, is said to prevent pitting in small-pox ; it should be used immediately upon th® commencement of the disease, and con tinued until the fever has entirely ceased. This application not only allays the Itch ing, but It appears to shorten tho dura tion of the disease, while it leaves the patient entirely free from all blemishes ; the charcoal prevents the action of light, and the lard that of air. T he remarkable growth of the petrole um trade is illustrated in the fact that while in 1860 a market could not be found for ten million gallons, in 1871 the de mand for export alone is inadequately supplied by 141,000,000 gallons.
