Walter Boott then read an aW« discourse upon “ Medical .’Esthetics,” in which he illustrated the persecutions to which all prominent reformers had been subjected, especially those of the medical profession. Ho furthermore alluded to eoino remarkable discoveries that bad been, made by members of the University during the last year, especially in reference to cancer and small pox.

The city news-market was as dull as the leaden sky, and tbo country sheets, guiltless of au>thing that savored of the sensational, were in every sense of the phrase “ wet blankets." Sleiancholy as a dyspeptic owl, our liveliest reporter sat brooding in a corner,scratching his head,and finding nothing Init but a vacuum. A bright thought struck us. Such things will sometimes happen to an editor, area In a northeast rain-storm. "Let somebody boiutervlew'cd,"wo exclaimed,looking cheerfully at our played-out attach!), lie brightened up and Inquired who It should ho. We cogitated. Tho leading politicians, financiers and clergymen bad all beon done—ln fact overdone. The public was tired of thsm—lt was of no use “ going through l any of them again. Another bright Idea flashed through our pericranium. “ Drop in,” said we, “on oman who has never yet been interviewed— a public benefactor, whoso name haß been before the people for thirty years, and to whom thousands of them owe the good digestion that waite on appetite and the health that waits on both—a veteran philanthropist, whose name, from our boyhood’s hour, has been as con spicuous on every coign of vantage as tho ‘ handwriting on the wall’ In Belshazzar's palace, and who, at a lime when but too many candidates for public favor are 1 weighed In the balance and found wanting,'continues to enjoy the confldeuce of tbo masses. In short, go and pay a friondly visit to Dr. Hoofland, and report the re sult at these headquarters." “ It is a bitter day," remarked our special. “ The more appropriate,” we replied, ‘‘ for an inter view with the discoverer of tbeinost popular Bitter in existence." Ebctrifled by our bitter pun, ho took his hat and umbrella and vanished tout it suite. In about an hour and a half to returned with'the fol lowing ' ItEPOHT : Found Dr. Dooflaud in his laboratory with a face as (till ol benevolent sunshine as a day in June, and opened lire upon him at once. Reporter— Good morning, doctor. I have come to inter view you. Dr. H.fdrylyJ-Ah ! In my young days they called that sort of thing pumping. But this is the age of “ word painting.” Go ahead. ltepofier—How old are you, doctor ? Doctor—Well, you needn’t mention if to tho ladies ; but I am in my elglity-soventh year.

II: e,,se me, doctor; but do you take your own medicine r Doctor—l do, yonng man; perhaps if I did uo t, J shouldn’t be the “ bale fellow well met," you seem to think mo.' lieporter—J can remember jour remedies ever since I was * boy. Are they still as popular as ever ? Doctor—Unless my ledger anti bank account deceive me. young man. their sale has been steadily Increasing for more thou twenty y^ars.

It is also a power ful blood depurent and a pui.fier of all the anin ai fluids. 1 . Reporter-Well, doctor, and what is Greek Oil ? Doctor—The great antagonist of pain. It instantly alleviates the torture or rheumutlsm, neuralgia,tooth ache, headache, ear-ache, sprains, bruises and the like Pain cannot exist where it is properly applied. Reporter—The piilß, doctor, what are they ? Doctor—A compound of four vegetable extracts. The alcoholic extract of Mandrake, called Podophyllin which acta on the liver ae powerfully as mercury, with out any of the evil ejects of that peruicious mineral is the most Important of the four. Of the others, ontj acts upon the atomach, tw o upon the upper and lower bowels and the remaining one render* the operation ofall'the rest painless. Used in connection with the Bitters and Tonic, they are an absolute specific for liver complaint dyspepsia and eonslipation. Indeed, I know of no dis ease, not organic, which can withstand, the alterative and renovating action of these three remedies. B-porter-These ore certainly remarkable statements. Can you establish them by competent proofs.? Dcctor-I'rodts ! sir—look here !

One must be as incredu lous ae Thomas to question such proofs aa these One question more. De you think you cun euro tubercular consumption ? Doctor—No; when the lungs are honey combed with tubercles the patient is beyond mortal aid. But persons suffering from liver diseases, dyßpopaia or chronic de bility are often supposed to be consumptive, and all these my remedies will cure. Reporter—Do you expect to live many years longer? Doctor—Barring casualties, X do. You know onr Councilman from the First Ward, Thomas A. iiarlow, don’t yon? .

THE CATHOLIC CAIIII, The Canons of the “Schema de Fide.” The Avggburg Gazette, whose publications concerning tho (Ecumenical Council have caused much excitement at Rome, publishes as the text of the Canons of the Uchemade Fide Oatholica, a document of which we make ilic following translation: I—OF Uon, THE CREATOR OF ALL THIN (IS. 1- If any one denies that there is one only and true God, the creator of all things visible and invisible, let him be accursed. 2. If any one blushes not to declare that (bere is nothing except matter, let him be accursed. 3. If any one says that the substance or essence of God and of all things is the same, let him be accursed. 4. It any one does not confess that the world and all it contains have been produced by God from nothing, in all their substance ; or if he says that God didnot create by the effect of his tree will and exempt from all necessity, but that be also created necessarily, and that he loved himself necessarily ; or if he denies that the world was created for the glory of God, let him be accursed.—We wish, more over, to put every one on his guard against the deceptions oftbose who, to mask the impiety ol their doctrines, misuse the most holy name of the Trinity, of the Incarnation, of the Re demption, of the Resurrection, et cetera, to divert into the most perverse meanings of pan theism the venerable mysteries of the Chris tian religion. 11. OF REVELATION. 1. If any one denies that the only true God, our Creator and our Lord, is. through his -works, certainly known to man through ilie iiatiiral light of reason,let him be accursed. 2. If any one says that he cannot, or that it is not useful, that man he instructed by divine revelation concerning God and the worship due to Him, let him be accursed. 3. It any one says that man cannot be dl vineiy elevated to that knowledge which sur passes natural knowledge, but that he can and ought to arrive, by himself, at the possession ot everything true and good, let>him be ac cursed. 4 If any one refuses to accept as sacred and canonical the boolcs of Holy Scripture, in their complete integrity, as verified by the Council ot Trent, or if he denies that they are divinely inspired, let him be accursed, in. or faith. J. If any one says that human reason is so independent that God cannot enjoin on it faith, iet him be accursed. - 2. If any one says that divine faith is not different from uaturai knowledge having Tor its object moral and religious ; trntb, and that, consequently, it is not necessary,for the latter, to beli eve i n truth revealed by divine authority, iet him be accursed. 3. if any one says that divine revelation cannot be made credible by external signs and that, therefore, men can only be brought to faith by the internal experience of each in dividual, iet him be accursed. i. II any one nays that there can be no miracles, and that, therefore,' all that is told of them, even in the Holy Scriptures, must be ela*sed as fables or myths, or that miracles can never be acknowledged with certainty, ami that they do not sutticiently prove the Christian religion, let him be accursed. 0. If any one says that the faith by which Christians give their assent to Evangelical preaching is only a conviction derived from proofs drawn from human knowledge, or that the grace of God is only necessary for that living faith which acts from charity, let him he accursed. 6. If any one says that the condition of be lievers, and that of persons not yet arrived at the true faith, is tho same, so. that believing Catholics may legitimately doubt the faith they have already accepted under the au thority of the Church, by suspending their as sent until they obtain a scientific proof of the credibility and truth of their faith, let him be accursed. IV. OK KAITH AND REASON. 1. if any one says that divine revelation can contain no mystery, truly and properly so called, but that all the dogmas of faith can he comprehended and demonstrated by rea son exercised according to natural principles, let him be acoursed. •J. if any one says that human knowledge must be treated without reference to super natural revelation, or that the conclusions of such knowledge, although repugnant to Catholic doctrine, cannot be proscribed by the Church, let him be accursed: .'5. If any one says that it is permitted to entertain or teach opinions condemned by the Church, provided they are not condemned as heretical, let him bo accursed. 4- If any one says that at times a meaning may be given to the dogmas of tho Church! according to the progress of knowledge, differ ent from that which the Chnrch has under stood and still understands, let him he ac cursed. . THE AGITATION IN FItANCE. Prince Napoleon on the Plebincitum. The Francois, a Ministerial journal, repro duces the following opinion expressed on the Ist of last September By Prince Napoleon (Je rome) on the subject of the appeal to the peo ple upon which the Emperor’s Government seem now irrevocably determined: Ido not approve the Plei/iscitum; it only bears the scmblancb of Democracy. It is the legislative power directly exercised by the people. This power seems to me, unless it be in very rare cases, an illusory power. If tho Emperor has a right to make a direct appeal to the people, that right should be seldom used—perhaps, never; for a Plebiscitwn is a sheet-anchor; it is the last stage before a revo lution. What an error it would he to ask of a Plebiscitum the approval of a modiffcation in the Constitution! It the people answer 1 Yes,’ it is a delusion; if they say ‘ No,’ it is a revolution. " 1 admit that the people may, under excep tional circumstances, he consulted- with re spect to a person, with respect to a definite question of peace and war, with respeet to the cession of a province in the event - of a dis astrous war : hut even in such cases it is ne cessary that he who answers should know and understand the purport of the question. It ia necessary that the question should he clear and simple. -Sow many auoh questions have occurred to Us in our public life? Xet the Plebiscitum, therefore, be reserved as a right of the Sovereign, but on condition that he should have recourse to it as Uttle as possible. To consult directly the people is a Kind of coup d’etat, and it supposes a dissent between the Emperor and the representatives of the people. Wcro it otherwise, the Emperor would find it more natural to go hand in hand with the rep resentatives thomsolves,” .

Ibis time it is not republic or mon archy—uot Catholicism or Protestantism, but the persistency of thogovernment in enforcing the ijuwtas, or conscription for the armv and navy. I hey promised in the first moments of the revolution to abolish this mode of recruit ing. Last year Prim solicited it “only for this once; There was a great outcry in the country, and a great row in the Cortes, but be got it. This year be asks it again, and de clares lie can’t do withoutit. He wants 40,000 jreshmeu to fill up his armv of 80,000, and have them be must, , and he will. ‘ lh ,«. quintas,” he .cries, .‘-'but lor this tune only!” Long debates were held in the Cortes, the republicans fighting a gab lant light, disputing his ground Inch ny inch, and his Quinta bill article by article. Besides this, they organized demonstrations in every town and village of Spain, and in one of these, in my presence, Prim himself was stoned in the streets of Madrid, to the cry of “Down t i* e Quintas! Fulfill your promises to<| abolish the Quintas!” AH was, iiowever, to no avail; the “ Generals” preponderated in the Cortes; and the “ military element” out of them, and so the bill was passed. Last Sunday was fixed for the sorteo, or drawing of lots throughout Spain. It passed oft' peace fully m most places, but not in all. There was a ro w in Malaga, and some policemen were wounded. In , Salamanca the mob broke into the place where the sorteo was going on and prevented the business for the day. It had to bo effected yesterday with the presence of themilitaryforces. InTordero the mob destroyed the wires. In Castellon they tore up the lists and the lotting had to be done twice over. In La Grauja tho Civil Guard bad to interfere. In Huiloa, Seville, Bejar and Carthagena there were disturbances more or less grave, in La Bishal the Ayunta miento refused to risk their heads bv trying to verify the sorteo. In many other places petty disturbances arose, which nothing but the appearance ot military force prevented be coming serious. In Bejar, after the lottery, the seventy youths drawn fled to the moun tains SPA IS IS RETORT. But the -worst was i n and around Barcelona. There was terrific popular opposition, and the sorteo had to be put ofi'till yesterday. Barri cades were thrown up in the barrio de San Antonio. Men, women, and boys engaged in this favorite amusement of outraged people. The troops bad to carry them by storm. In the neighboring town of Sans,only fifteen minutes distance, barricades were raised, and a terrific struggle ensued before the troops could carry them. Even the Gazette says ten soldiers and officers killed and wounded, and thirty of the people. The second Alcalde was wounded Driven out of Sans, the rebels fled to Gracia, another town close by, and here they concen trated a strong party, being swelled by armed men from the population and from Barcelona itself. They formed immense barricades, cut ting down for, this purpose all the beantiful trees wliich form the paseo from Gracia to Barcelona. All round Barcelona the alarm sounded. The Captain-General had no easy task. He had to send troops to Gracia, and to Sans, and yet to keep enough in the city of Barcelona itself to overawe the threat ening aspect of the population. On Monday afternoon he despatched' four colrimns of troops with artillery to Gracia, where, in the meantime, the revolters had prepared a stout j resistance. At dawn yesterday the troops reconnoitered the place, and were lired upon. The artillery replied, but from that moment all the telegraphic lines communicating to Madrid were cut, and so we know nothing as yet of the result, or of what is doing in Bar celona or in Sans. The bridge of San Andres de Paloma was burnt by the rebels, so trains cannot pass. The foregoing, therefore, is all I can tell you this mail, which is just closing. World. England and’his colonies. The Bed Hirer Question in Parliament IFrom the Daily Telegraph. I , In the House of Commons Mr. Whalley asked the Under-Secretary of State for the Colonies, with reference to the intelligence that Colonel John Scott had been put to death by Riel, the rebel leader in the Red River settlement, whether any steps had been taken to vindicate the authority of the imperial government, and for the protection of the loyal inhabitants beyond such as were communicated to the House bv the j right honorable gentleman on the 22<1 March : and, with reference to the following observations of. Sir Philip Wodehouse, tho Governor of Cape Colony, in a speech to the Assembly: “In North America we have un mistakable indications of the rapid establish ment of a powerful independent State. In Australia it is probable that the,several settle ments, with their great wealth and homoge neous population, will see their way to simi lar conditions. In New Zealand the severance is being accomplished under very painful cir cumstances ; ” whether the government pro posed to take any steps to correct the mis chievous impressions such language conveys, and thus remove a cause of uneasiness in tho minds of her Majesty’s loyal subjects in the colonics. . Mr. Monsel)—ln answer to the lirst ques tion, I beg to say that I deeply regret to have to inform the honorable gentleman that we did receive yesterday at the Colonial Office a letter giving us information of the execution ot Mr. Scott; but considering the difficulty of access to the Red River settlement for seven or eight months of the year, I do not see how any other steps can he taken bv her Majesty’s government to vindicate the authority of the imperial government, and protect the loyal in habitants, beyond such as were communicated by me to the House on the 22d of Maroh. As to the other question, I think the honorable gentleman-would have done better to have re served thatquostion until the discussion,which is appointed to take place on the 26th of this month, with regard to the relations between this country and the colonies for responsible go vernment.comes on. It is impossible for me to give an adequate andsufficientanswcrto the question in a few sentences, hut I would refer t!- £??,? ra Jil e 6 en tleiiian to the paragraph in Sir Phihp Wodehouse’s speech, which imme diately precedes that which lie has quoted. There he stated that he was and had always been an opponent ot responsible government in the colonies. I can only say that her Ma jesty’s government, and I believe this House, as well aa of the coloniea them selves, are decidedly of opinion that largo communities of our race can never either be contented or happy unless they have respon sible government, in other words, unless they have liberty; and that the result of the intro duction of responsible government into the colonics has been to deepen their aff'oetion to this country and their loyalty to thesovereign.

I Plan of (he Proposed Work. Dr. Jacob, late headmaster of Christ’s Hos pilal, London, writes as follows to the Times oi.tbat city: 1 r ~ t le question of a revision of our Eng iisli Bi Me is exciting public interest, permit me, I as one who lias had some personal experience !" t'. vo , nature, to invite attention to I 1 t. ? w iuch has been already tried, awl which seems to suggest a safe and practical - subject" ° thC dffituWeH of this important a'he Eeligious Tract Society is publishingan edition ot u,c Bible the greater part of which has already appeared, exhibiting (1) an im proved form and arrangement of the text, and (2) emendations of the authorized version emendations of improved renderings in the more important instances in which the labors of later scholars have shown that the tranala t?”„1 t . 0 . who ® we owe out justly venerated English version werem fault. The aim has been, to give to English readers the benefit of ail such emendations as have the sanction of the best authorities, omitting all which are either doubtful or trivial, lliere have been 2atoo added explanations of obsolete words and translations of Hebrew and Greek proper names and phrases. r ■ If nothing more were done in the proposed revision than incorporating such emendations as these Into the texts of our English version a great benefit would be conferred on our population; and in doing this it would be most desirable to adhere to the cautious and conservative principles above alluded to. But it would, no doubt, be thought right to include the consideration of improved Hebrew and Greek texts, which in the emendations of the Eeligious Tract Society’s edition was not en tertained. The manner in whioh the “improved ren derings" in this edition were considered and selected, deserves also to be noticed, and was as follows: . I The committee of the society, comprising Churchmen and Nonconformists, intrusted the work to a sub-committee, by whom the proposed emendations were submitted to the editors, who expressed their approval or dis approval of them, and recommended any al terations or additions whioh they thought de sirable. These remarks and suggestions were then carefully considered by the committee, and in many instances the editors were again and even a third time, consulted before the final decision was made. This plan wasfound to work very harmoniously andwith excellent effect. Ana why should not a similar commit tee for the revision now talked be formed of experienced and thoughtful meu, selected from our established church, the churches in Scotland the Protestant churches in Ireland, our principal Nonconformist bodies, and, if possible, the leading Protestant churches in America. Snch a Committee, dulyappointcd, might obtain the services of editors of learn ing and high character to aid and methodize their labors; there is no reason why they should not work together as harmoniously as the Committee of the Eeligious Tract Society has done, and their carefully-weighed correc tions would command the respect and confi dence of the English reading population throughout the world. CRIME IN A NEW PHASE. A RWp Fired at Sea for Insurance Honey -Explusien of a Box Filled wftli oils on ttae Steamer Oeoree Washington— > nr row Escape from Destruction of the Vessel and Her Passengers—Two ..... Tbo N. Y. Times says f , A lire broke ont in the hold of the steamer George Washington, about the lith inst., during the voyage of the vessel from this port to New Orleans, with several passengers and a valuable cargo on board. It was quickly suppressed, although not until considerable damage had been done by water. Subsequent search as to its origin revealed the fact that it first commenced in a large box containing ex plosive oils, of which the officers ofthesteamer previously had no knowledge. On the return of the vessel to this port the Captain commu nicated the facts to Mr. Seaman, the agent of the line, at No. 815 West street. It was then ascertained that the contents of the box had teen shipped as machinery, and that the bill of lading had been .used to secure aii insur ance of 31,600 on the combustible stuff from the Montreal Fire Insurance Company, the insurance having been obtained by A. lvomp, doing business as an agent for sowing-ma chines, &c., at No. 215 Centre street. The latter was arrested on a war rant by Deputy-Marshal Crowley yes terday. Be confessed that he had shipped the box, but denied that he was unaware of its real contents, lie said he insured it in his own name, to oblige a friend named A. Lamm, a picture-dealer, of No. 206 William street. Lange was subsequently taken into custody, and was questioned in regard to the box. lie admitted that be bad packed the explosive oils, and gave the name of another man as having assisted him. He said that, besides the oils, he had filled the box with straw and with a small cigar box, in which two rats were con fined. He furnished no reason for his con duct, but it was conjectured that he wished to destroy the box by lire, in order to procure the insurance money. It is said that il the plot had not been frus trated Uy the prompt action of the officers of the steamer.it would have probably caused the loss of the vessel and of the poisons on hoard. Lange and IComp were each com-, fitted to JLiiuilow Street Jail, by Commissioner Osborn, in default of 32,000 bail, to await an examination on Thursday next, on a charge of having shipped explosive oil in a manner contrary to law. PAPAS. UrfAI.UBII.ITy. Opinion of an English Prelate. Dr. Newman, one of the most distinguished accessions to the Church of Home which has been made during the present century, has written a letter to a Catholic prelate on the Pope|s course in relation to the dogma of in fallibility. AVe need scarcely remind most of onr readers that Dr. Newman was perhaps the ablest of all the men in the Episcopal Church of England, and that his loss is deeply lamented by members of that church to the present hour. A considerable number of yoting men who had been his pupils at Oxford followed him into the Romish communion. The words of such a man must 5 needs have weight with all Catholics. The (Ecumenical Council, he declares, excites little else than fear and dismay. Pratically, all true Catholics hold the Rope to be infallible, but to define that infallibility is to do the Church a great injury. . “Think,” writes Dr. Newman, “ of the store of Pontifical scandals in the his tory of eighteen centuries which have partly been poured forth and pantly are sail to come" He declares that he prays for the intercession of Augustine, Ambroso and the other Fathers to avert the calamity. The English Ritualists were hovering on the outskirts of Rome, and now they are to bo driven back. It will be seen from this brief/Summary that Dr. New man is no less zealous than oonvorts in gen eral, but his advice is, jontjus occasion, not destined to produce mucli fruit.— Times. —The Marseillaise, Rochefort’s paper, politely calls, Edmund About “a meas> venal, treach erous. and servile scribbler. .—A Connecticut member of an inventive out suicidal family has ingeniously made, way with'himself by a shot-gun rigged across a barrel and fired by Improved mechanism. —A temperanco lecturer was asked, “If water fots the soles of your boots, what effect must'it have on thocoatof yovur stomach ?” PRICE THREE CENTS. Hun del nm! Hnyrtn Csncert. At the Academy of Music, last evening. th* Handel and Haydn Society gave their third concert. The programme consisted of seti tions from Rossini’s Stabat Steer and thewhol* Mm “Shsa Mi T- Th ° 80,0 Bin « ers Mrs. Susan Gallon Kolleher, soprano; Miss- Fanny Jveim, contralto; Mr..

The Handel and Haydn Society has, at no concert, had a more acceptable chief sop rano than Mrs. Ivellehcr.. This we say with a clistinct recollection of Mme. Parepa Rosa's - in the Stub at Mater, The lady who sang the contralto part—Miss Keim-hasa very fine natural voice and sings correctly. She wants the training from which Mrs. Kelleher has derived so much advahtage. This, if there is in her the feeling which is in dispensable in the composition of a really good musician, will make her a good artist She deserved great credit for the manner in which she did all assigned to her last evening. Mr. Graf sang, as he always does, correctly and with feeling. Even the “ Cujus Animam,” which was written in a dramatic Italian style and for a dramatic Italian singer, was very enjoyable, although he is German and not dramatic. In all the concerted pieces his musician-like accuracy and his clear, ringing although heady voice, contributed incalculably to the success of the performance. Mr. Barn hurst, the basso, has a good voiee, which needs developing and education, not in the mere alphabet of the notes, but in the manner of delivering them, and giving them their full' meaning along with the full meaning of the words set to them. There is a need of all this even in singing Haydn’s masses; there is still more need of it in singing Rossini’s music. Such need was shown in Mr. Barnhurst’s singing of the “Pro peeeatis, ” which was very tame. Alter all, artists are almost excusable for singing coldly and in lifferently before a Han '■ del and Haydn audience. Nothing cottid bo • imagined colder, more indifferent and more unsympathetic than the audience of last even ing. The few that wanted to applaud, and tried. 3 to, were discouraged after one or two eflbrte. Even the best tinging of. the soloists and the • most creditable undertakings of the chorus were passed by in silence. The auditors, seemed to think they were in a prayer meet ing and many of them dared not to make any noise, except that noise which is most trying —the conversation in undertone in which peo ple who have no business to go to concerts like to indulge while mnsic is going on whioll other people like to hear undisturbed by such noise. A little judicious and discriminating applause would have been worth hours of suoh disturbance. The managers of the so ciety, however, deserve great credit for last nights concert, and, they are to be congratu lated on having obtained, the services of so ad mirable artist as Mrs. Kelleher. The church choir that may secure her services regularly will deserve like congratulation, though we bave no reason to suppose that she would ac cept such an engagement. Prof. Pearce’s Concert. We have received theßookof the Words of the various selections to be sung at the Boy Choir-Concert, which will be given at Musi cal Fund Hall, under the direction of Prof, .lames Pearce, on Saturday evening next. The concert bids fair to be a very attractive one, and those who enjoyed the choruses amt part songs so admirably performed at Mr. Kopta’s concert, a few weeks ago, will be glad of the rare opportunity of listening to some delightful ballads, madrigals and glees of the olden time, With the addition of the famous “Devil's Trill,” and, a “ Fantasio from. Otello,” played by Mr.Kopta; and the charm ing song, “Where the Bee Sueks,” by Mrs. Su san Galton-Kellehcr. Aa appropriate to the present season, the first chorus 'will be a Tory beautiful Easter carol,Christ, our God and Lord has Kiseii,'* the -words by Professor Ooppee, and . the mu sic by Mr. James Pearce. Mr. Pearce de serves much encouragement- for his efforts to introduce to the Philadelphia public a style of music hitherto almost unknown; and as his admirable and successful training of his pupils was universally acknowledged by those who attended Mr. Kopta's concert,,we hope ’ the Boy Chorus and their Director will be - greeted by a large audiencffon Saturday even- : ing.
