universal healer reminds us of what is said to have happened to Von Feinagte , of artificial memory , when in this country . Having lost a bank note , he applied to the police to assist him in
recovering it ; and on being told that it was necessary they should know the number , he was compelled to confess that he had forgotten it . " Nee prosuut domino quae prosunt omnibus artes !"
K . [ Prince Hohenlohe ' s miracles are not , it seems , confined to Germany , or to his own presence . The Catholic Miscellany , a magazine recently
established for the support of the doctrines of the Church of Rome , contains in the number just published the following account of a supernatural cure , effected by the Prince ' s means , in England *
" Miss Barbara O'Connor , aged 29 years , a choir nun of the community of English ladies formerly established at Leeds , but now residing at New Hall , near Chelmsford , Essex , was attacked in November 1820 , with a malady in her
right arm , accompanied by excruciating pain . In the December following , she lost the entire use of her hand and . arm , so that she could not move a linger . Recourse was had to medical art , and the most distinguished practitioners were employed , particularly Mr . Carpue , of
London , to restore the afflicted limb , but without effect . From December 23 , 1820 , till the 3 rd of last May , the pain continued without intermission , and the limb- paralytic , though the swelling was at times reduced by the application of medicine . Oa the 5 th of March last , Prince
Hoiienlohe was applied to by letter , who , in reply , dated Hamberg , March 16 , gave notice that he would offer up mass for the afflicted sister on May A , at eight o ' clock , and invoke for her the sacied name of Jesus . The invalid made a retreat and
a nine days' devotion , and prepared herself by a general confession . On the same day , at the same hour , mass was likewise celebrated by the chaplain of the convent , a » d all the sisters communicated . At twenty minuted past eight , as the priest was beginning to read the last gospel ,
Miss O'Connor felt a powerful emotion ; she heard a sudden crack in her right shoulder , from which a thrilling sensation parted to the ends of her fingers , the pain distantl y ceased , and motion was as simultaneousl y restored to both her arm and hand , the free use of which she continu es to enjoy to this day .

Ci For some time previously to the cure . Miss O'Connor had left off the use of medicine . On May 2 , however , she was visited by Dr . Badley , of Chelmsford , and Mr . Barlow , a surgeon of Writtle , who both examined her arm , and pronounced
it to be in as bad a state as they had ever seen it ; the wrist measured 15 inches round . They both visited her again shortly after the sudden cure , expressed their astonishment at the change they witnessed , and attributed it to the intervention of Divine power and goodness * .
Dr . Badley , in a letter dated May 24 , which he wrote to a gentlemen on the subject , observes in conclusion , * This , my dear Sir , baffles all reasoning . What can we say ? Nothing ; but bow in silent wonder and admiration ; or burst out with the poet—These are thy wonderous icorks ? Parent of good ! Almighty /"'
I he same magazine thus announces the Catholic conversions in Germany , to which our correspondent has alluded : " During the present year two foreign - ers , named John Christopher Rons and Thomas Watts , made abjuration of Pro ^
testantism in the church of St . Nicholas of Chardonnet ; and also two English gentlemen , who have received confirmation in a private chapel . Other great examples are daily occurring ; the learned as well as the simple have opened their
eyes to the truth ; pastors , men of letters , professors and magistrates have returned to the bosom of the Catholic Church . A distinguished professor of Lausanne was lately employed to answer Mr . Mailer ; this task obliged him to read controversy , and the result was his conviction of the
truth « f Catholic doctrines , and His renunciation of error . lie has since entered among the Jesuits at Fribourg . " Ed . ]

different translations of them : this is a mistaken supposition : the difference is merely verbal , for the sense is identically the same . The terms are convertible ! This may be elucidated by a reference to Dr . Clarke : Scripture Doctrine of the Trinity , Works , IV . 7 3 , No . 6 * lH , where lie notices that Jatnes
