A. E.CI.F.N.V, EltlTOU AND I ROl lTOK. "SIX .MONTHS IX A COWLXT.' The above n the title of a work issued a r-hort time since from the I5vto!i press. The following notice of it, written by a Senator of the Massachusetts Legislature to the Editor of the Nantucke t Inducer, will jrive the reader some idea of it character. The author, Mi;s Maria Theresa Recti, vrn,as will he seen, an inmate f.r ix months of the Nunnery at ( leuk-town. Mass. which tvs torn down some few month Mnre by a mob, and from which she had previously made her escape. The developments of this book has nroused the just indignation of the V-''C in rao-t prut? of the Uuicii, where it has been road, ami fronted a spirit oi'inquiry in regard to thee sorret and long-supectcd institutions, which we hope may end in their e:tiiniinuli.in in the L niu-.i States. They have long since been roote.l ot.t of Lurope, and when pHnto-l in oi:r countrywere viewed, nntil very recently, :n harmless sta'uluhtr.chts; and we are pka-cd to see the mspiciom of the old coui.lry coming to the rtscmc of our-. Miss Heed's Look i- full of interct, and well worth 62 1-2 cents. U may bo pnnha'e.l in Ri-ing Snn, nt Mr. Ila'.haivay's Cookslore, ar.d at Me?-r?. K. K. Eaton &: C'o's. Six Mivnt::s in a C'oxvf.xt. A very great degree of curiosity, not to say excitement, h;.s pre vailed in t!ie tit) during three or lours days past, in consequence of the apparition of a thin fifty cent book, entitled " Six Months in a Convent."' The author, a Mi-s Be c el. was once an inmate cf the Ursuline Nunnery at Charleslown, and (his is a statement of her experiences during her residence therein. It is quite no unpretending sketch, and carries on its face much honesty and frankness of intent. Vet, it had been in existence scarcely a day, ere the "Lady Superior,'' Madame Saint Somebody, assailed it per advertisement in the newspaper?, j c alled it a pack of lies, in so many j worus, and Us writer, without reserve, an impostor. Many persons woul I have taken loss heed of the book, had this sweet tempered she saint shown less of the genuine spirit of the "Holy Inquisition." As it was, a very large edition of several thousands lias been devoured at once; ar.d the public opinion, by reason of this ebullition of religious indignation, has become wonderfully shorn of its st mpathics, hitherto indulged, in behalf of (lie renowned establishment at Mount Benedict ihe Nunnery nt Charlestown, Mass. The Nuns and their adherent threaten a reply to Miss Iieed's publication; but the disclosures therein made have placed the concern iti siuh a light that great elif h-alties must be encour.lert.-d ere the eflect thereof can he remote I.

A.'.niitic.w N AY V, The juMice of t!c following remaik on the opinion entertained iit Lurope ofe nr Navy will b; recognized by al! Americans who have been, even for a sl.oit time, on the contir.enl. Never in Ihe history of the tvoihl did a nation attain, at so liule cost of blood, so high a position in the estimation of the world as a formidable antagonist, as the United Stales did by her naval victories in

the short war with Great Bi itain. British supremacy on the naval ocean, established by repeated triumphs, was the chief source of the despairing envy of European rivals, as well as of her predominating influence. A nation, therefore, that " in frequent trials showed this ability o resist that supremacy, was hailed in F.uropo. rot only with

admiration, but witn feedings ot grati tude. An American abroad is respect ed as the countryman of Washington and Franklin; :l the citizen of a great republic, as a man who acknowledges no superior, kins or lord, hut the chief ti!h of honor and res'ioct is, t: ran Bi iti.-n tar.
