NovKii EXAMPLE OF HEROISM.-It is' reported that at the time of the collision on Thursday, of the ferry boat Manhas set and the tng Phtenix, the steam wreck? ing boat Truxton, Capt T. A. Scott, happened to be passing quite near the scene of the aooident. Captain Scott, not being able to get the Trnxton along? side of the ferry boat, sprang into a small boat, and made bia way through the cabin windows of the Mnnhusset, ar? riving in the engine room just as the bow of the tug was being extricated from the ferry boat As the bow was with? drawn tua water at ouce began to flow in the aperture with great force, and in a few minutes, had not Captain Scott, who ia a very large man, weighing about 250 pounds, place his body in tho bole made by the tug, and, oalling for blankets and clothing, succeeded iu keeping out the rush sufficiently until the boat was got into the slip and afterwards planked up the break so that the pumps of thc ferry boat kept her comparatively free until she was placed on the dry dock, foot of Pike street, where she now is. This is the first record of aleik of this size being stopped by a man's body ot the risk of his own life. Possibly several hundred lives were saved by the bravery of Captain Scott.-New York Herald.

N21 ?SS? ?m , ' BOMB, DeUuMbU 14.^AHN?e) boll of muon importance baa jost been issued in tba Holy City bj Pope Pius IX. ' The boll tries a strict seal' of secrecy on the prelates who sro assembled in the General Council, and also establishes the regulations tor the guidance and raia of the proceedings of the ?sssmblago. In the exordium tho Holy Father exhorta and adjures the bishops to lire in the spirit and practice ot the cardinal vir? tues of'charity sud, humility, with so? briety and a serious contemplation of the dignity and reverence of the occasion, during the entire time of the meeting. He declares that although the assembled prelates and patriarchs enjoy and have the right of making propositions to the entire body ot any time, the fact of the council in its essentials belong only to the Head of the Church and the Sacred College and Ecclesiastical Court of Rome, as expressed in the words et nos et ad sanctum sedam. He desires and exhorts eaeh one of the most reverend fathers to think and oonsider it bis duty to make propositions in the council, but only on the following conditions, viz: 1. That such ' propositions shall be made in writing aud submitted for scru? tiny privately, or before being plaoed for debate, to a council committee of bish? ops, named by the Pope beforehand, and charged with the duty of examining whether the resolutions are in accordance with church discipline. 2. That all propositions so ordered shall have for their object, iu some man? ner stated, the genernl interests of the church, aud uot tho interest of any one particular diocese of the church. 3. That each resolution shall be ac? companied by a statement setting forth the motives which influenced and led to its presentation. 4. That the resolution' or resolutions shall in each instance be couohed in words and language, and intent, so as to be made ot ric t ly conformable to the spirit, teachings and traditions of the Holy Catholio Church. Hi3 Holiness, by this bull, imposes a bond of secrecy on every person con? cerned with the conoiliary labors. He also fixes the rule of order of precedence during the proceedings of the body, the prelates ranking in the following degrees -Cardinal bishops, cardinal priests, car? dinal deacons, patriarchs, primates, arch? bishops, bishops, mitred abbots and generals of monastic orders. The Pope authorizes the appointment of certain fathers designated, teu in num? ber, who are to be charged with the ad? judication and settlement of all contesta? tions or points of difference arising among the reverend fathers in the Coun? cil at large. He appoints also the of? ficers of the Council, and in this names as legati or proesides over general congre? gations, or council committees, the Car? dinals de Reisach, of Vienna; de Lucca, Bizarri, Bilio and Capalti. Right rev? erend fathers desiring to harangue the Council Assembly must have been first authorized by the aforesaid legati to do KO, and this authorization must be had on the preeeding evening, at least All matters relating to church canons or canon law must be submitted to the mem? bers of one of the four commissioners on Faith, Discipline, Religious Orders and Oriental Affairs-which have been duly appointed and made public. The members of each of these several com? missions have been chosen by the bish? ops themselves, but each commission is presided ovor by a cardinal named by the Pope for that duty. The bull pro? hibits the most reverend fathers from absenting themselves before the conclu? sion of the Couucil, and authorizes and permits them to reside out of their seve? ral dioceses and places of local charge during the whole period of the .session of the Council. A majority of the bishops are, it is said, dissatisfied with many of the pro? visions of the bull. Commissioner Delano has decided that officers of internal revenue shall not be allowed to charge citizens for making out papers which the latter are required to furnish, and gives notice that those who make such charges, will be instantly dismissed from the service. A Missouri chap, who didn't get nu invitation to n ball, had some fun by firing a revolver into the crowd. He killed ene, and two others were laid up for repairs, while the shootist went into quarantiue in the County jail. For a prize of a gold ring, four girls, at Pittsburg, waltzed for five hours and had to be carried home on a plank. Their shoes had to be cut off their feet, and their limbs were swelled as large as Olive Logan's. The Government is somewhat embar? rassed at the claims of colored soldiers' heirs, as sometimes four or five women will appear, all claiming to bo the widow of the same man. It is now generally believed that the colored troops had to fight nobly to support so many wives. The bridge of the Savannah and Charleston Railroad across tho Havannah River will be finished on the 20th inst., and passenger trains will run between the two cities on tho 31st of the present mouth.

Al? though lt was Intended tust the proceed? ings should be privately conducted, they were attended by an interesting demon? stration of respect The remains were accompanied to the place of embarkation by Sir Gertie Lnmpaon, Charles Beads, Minister Motley, J. S. Morgan and H. Somerby. They were received at the dock by the municipal authorities of I Portsmouth, and the officers and marines of ber Majesty's ship Monarch and of I the United States ship Plymouth. Her Majesty's ship Duke of Wellington fired minute guns during the embarkation. The ships in the harbor displayed their flags at half-mast, and dipped their en? signs as the Monaroh steamed out On the arrival of the coffin on board the Monarch, Mr. Motley addressed Captain Oommerell, commander of the ship, as follows: SIR: The President of the United States having been informed of the death of the great philanthropist, the lamented Mr. Peabody, ?t once ordered a ship from the European squadrou of the United States to proceed to this country in order to convey his remains to Amerioa. Simultaneously her Majesty the Queen, being apprised of the sad ?vent, gave orders that one of her Majesty's ships should be appointed to perform tho same office. This double honor from the heads of two great nations to a simple Amerioan citizen, was, like his bounty to the poor of both nations, quite unprecedented. The President has yielded most cordially to the wish of the Queen, and the remains of Mr. Peabody are now to be conveyed across the Atlantic in the British vessel to his native country to be buried with hie kindred, while the American national vessel will accompany her as consort on the voyage. All that was mortal, there? fore, of onr lamented friend was taken this morning from Westminster Abbey, where very rarely before in history did a foreigner of any nation find sepulture, whether temporarily or permanently, and has been brought to this port. As Minister of the Republic at the Court of ber Majesty, I have been requested by the relative and executors of Mr. Pea? body, who are now present, to confide these, his revered remains, to your keeping. This duty I have now the honor of fulfilling. Capt Commerell replied: Ma. MOTIIET: I accept this sacred trust, sir, in the samo spirit in whioh you have confided it to my eare; and I assure you that these remans shall be cared for and guarded by me and those around me with jealous interest as sacred relics of one whose memory will ever be held dear by the people of my country.
