btv > EItBITY.—A uumerone assemblage, including
many prominent members of the pres,, were present
laat evening to celebrate the anniversary of the New
i orlt Medico; Unirersity, in the magnificent reception
room, of thecollege building, No. 8 University place.
Trie proceedings were opened by Secretary Powell read
lng the sixth annual report, from which it trameired
that dnriug the year 1569 the large number of I'S.HO pa
tient, had been treated. Of this number 18,100 had been
restored to health, and but 313 pronounced incurable.
Some tivDCO desperate cases had been greatly relieved j
and many had not been further reported.
The UnlTerslty is duly incorporated by the State of
B«w York, and nos branches iu roost of the prominent
cities throughout thel'ninn, hike most now under*
takings, the I'niverslty has been persecuted; but it
vrould appear that the sound basin of its foundation,
notwithstanding all opposition, is daily gaining the
public confidence. liuriug the year 1809 sixteen
students patted a satisfactory examination and became
graduates.
■•»Profe«*or J. 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. Tbo treatment of cancer by chemical
chromium was wonderful, us within a few hours after
the application the tumor became perfectly carbonized
.and detached. In cases of small pox carbonic acid was
a proven specific.
- Professor Hassott read a serlo-humorous paper, en*
titled “ Why l left the Allopathic School,” in which he
nlluded to the erroueous systems still pursued. He
claims the chemical school to be the most successful,
and also that it U gradually revolutionizing the practice
of physic in thitcouatry.
After terminating the business reports the company
adjourned to a splendid supper, where good fellowship
and joviality prevailed until a late hour. The pleasures
•of the evening ware greatly heightened by Mr. J. G.
Bussell, oueofthoguests, who volunteered some popular
airs, which he rendered in a style that gained universal
applause.—JVew Yorfc Htra>d, April lfi.

” wa » “ 'lax- The rain polled the windows
of tbo oditcrini,sanctum viciously, as if the clerk of tbo
woatber, vexed bv some querulous paragraph reflecting
on the management of Ilia department, bail ordered bis
understrapserH to throw cold water on onr efforts to
entertain the public. 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.

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.
Reporter—Yon are a wonderfully hale lookrng man
for that age. 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.
Reporter—How much, at a rosgk guecs, have you ex
pended in advertising during that period r
Doctor—ln round numbers, about a million of dollars.
It coat* a good deal to gqids the people te health
through the newspaper!. The tolls on th« tampiko of
th«‘ press are pretty besftfy.
Jt^port^r—Yea, but it ii the only road by which &
good thing can roach the goal of ttniver*ai publicity aud
universal acceptance. What remedied areyun pre

Doctor—Pour

K'Tortejwi to have a brief account of the
nalureof thvfec remedied.

it* and secretive organs. *
Exporter—Tbe*‘ Tonic , ‘ is mods from the wrmeingre
dients, and is intended for the same class of .tiluiouu Ls
it not’? 1 . ’
Doctor—Yes ;but it contains in addition a rortaiu
amount of pufe Santa Cruz rum, the linest stomachic
in the world, whore a diffusive stimulant is neccssary
It is also delfgbtlullj- flavored with aromatic extract*
agreeable to the palate, and is intonded to take ths place
of the Bitters in cases wnerc there is a lack or
constitutional vigor and vitality. 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 ! (taking down from a
shelf a thick quarto volume and displayiug its contents 1
This contains over five hundred testimonials, and I cun
show you several more volumes of the same size if you
will step into my library in the next l-oont.
Here (turning over the leaves) yon see are letters or

Glance at them and nay if anything could bo more posi

the efficiency of my preparations, and they may be num

thousands.
Reporter—Well, this is certainly wliat the lawyers eall

you know the handwriting of theso mein

Reporter—l do—some of them, at least.
Doctor—Are these letters theirs?
Reporter—Unquestionably.
Doctor—Well—speaking judicially—do you think I
have made opt my case ?
Reporter—Beyond all cavil. 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?
. Reporter—Yes, very well.
lioctor—Be kind enough (handing a paper) to examine
thut certificate. Is it his?
Reporter— I recognize the signature.
Doctor—Well, you will seo that he says his mother lias
used u Hoofland’s Bitters" for thirty years; that she haß
taken no other medieino, and is now soventp-nino years
of age, and attributes her excellent health to that pre

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,” .

iu Spam. 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

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

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.
Accordingly, in answer to the despatch which
contained the Speech from which the honor
able gentleman quotes, my noble friend, Earl
Granville, has expressed his entire dissent ,
rrom the views of Sir Philip Wodeliouse. !

REVISION OFTttE DIBIT'.
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.

as effective as her artistic
skill. 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- :
