Benvrs, Oct. 6.—The Supreme Court of Eccle- ‘inmcal Afrairs sentenced; to-day, Dr. Foarster, iho P’rince-Bishop of Bresiau, to be deprived of bis sce. Ths accused prelats did not appear in person. 2 The case has been prozeeding for exactly six months, althongh from the first it was perfectly ‘well known what would be the issne. On Easter Monday, 20th March last, tho Priace-Bishop was served with an “iuvitation” from the Gavernor (Oberprasident) of the Province of Silesis to re- &izn his Bishopric. The gronnds allegea for this proceeding were his *‘ koown " antagonism tothe May laws, and tho fact of his Vicar-General hay- ing, in & “ pastoral instruction ” addressed to thp clergy of the Diocese,promulgated the celebrated TPapal Encyclical cf the 5th of February, Tho Bishop replied to this ** invitation™—so uncom- monly like tho wellkmown “Wil you walk into wy veror”—ibat he Deld the admimistration of his Diocese from God, who hed confided it to him through the Pope, and until the Pope bade him retire he would stax az bis post. A formal snit for his doposition was then inetitated, under the May laws, before the Court for Ecclesinstical AfTairs-at-Berlin, and the Bupreme Provincial Court at Breslan was direct- ed to wake the preliminary inquiries,—in other words, to find evidencs. Great attention was directed everywhers in Germiny to the case. Dr. Foerster was the only Prelate within the German Empire who retained the old feudal title of Prince-Bishop, and, previous to the general Youleversement which followed upon the French Revolution, he wonld bave ecxercised all the at- tsibutes of independent sovereignty. He was, individually, a special favorite at the Court of Berlin, and particalariv with the Empress, for it is well known that friendliners with the Irou Chancellor and with the Court circle are by no \oeans Synonymous. . At Lheylregmnin of the vear, & parish in the Dioceae of Posen had been declared by the civil courts vacant, on account of some offonse whick the pansh yn'ea‘ had committed against the Mey laws, 'The local District Gosernor issued a notice which was practicatis an advertisement fora priest. One came from the Diocesa of Breslan, by name Kick. and he was appointed by the Civil Governor to the pastorsl cbasge of the wacaot parish. When Dr. Foersterlearned what Kick had done, he wrote to him, reminding him that, accoraiog to tho ussges of the Roman Catholic Cburch, no priest can leave the Diocegs to which Le belongs and isko an engsgement tn saoiber Diocess withont baving proviously ro- ceived the leave of Lis own Ordinary, Kick, Lowever, thought the salary of bhis new pos: too desirabls to be vol- uptarily relinquished. Toward the end of Febraary the Prince-Bishop wrote again to the recalcitrant priest, plaiuly telling him that ac- cording to the Papal declarations as set forth i the Encyelical, be had incurred the ceusure of the Church, and begging him to return’ back- to Sresia. This appeul likewiso was vain. On Bunday, the 1ith of April, a stranger mysterious- ly entered the palpit of the church of Kwilcz, the parish adjoining that where Kick had beea installed, and reaa out 8 solemn sentence of excommnyication, with ceremonies which seem 0 hate made a profound 1mpression on the sim- ple congregation. He was quite unknown, and slthoagh the police have been incessant in their inquiries and prosecutions in connection with shis mysterions excommun:cation they have not been abie to discover the promulgator. In the course of their inquiries they heard of Dr. Foerster's leiters to Xick. They seem to havo jumped at the conclusion that it was he who had fulminated the sentence, and that, in Tact, he had for a whole year beennuecxeflr :x;r— ising Epiecopal functions in the Diocese of Po- ;;i.n;ammn?nu “+Secret Delegate " for the mvmoued'kdlb:ig? Ledochowski, who had just been made a Curdival by the Pope. The Bishop was sammoned to appear bofore the local tourt of Birpbaum, in_the *#rovinco of Posen, * to be exatmined touching Kick's excommunice~ lion.” He did not =ppear. He was then sum- moped to sppear befcre the Court of Appeal at Breelay, on tho 5th of Alsy, it order * to be ex- amined conceraing various matters.” The Bish- sp_did cot appear. He denied the ju- nsdiction of tho Court, as a civil tri- bunzl, to jundge his ecclesiastical con- luct; aud furtber, Lo cowld not submut sunself to an exemination without either mak- wg awkward sdmiesions, or declining with equal awkwardness o ansver the interrogasories of +he Judges. The Court was perplaxed. They ielegrzphed to Derlin for instructions as to whether they should order his arrest. Next day ‘the Gth) was a great Church holiaay, the festi- Tal of the Ascension. An order came by cipher seiegraph from Berlio in the course of that day, rdenng that the Dishop sbould be arrested at § o'clock in the morning of Friday, Tth May. some means whick have nover been discovered ibe mtention to arrest the Bishop on the Friday secame known in Berlin early on Tuesday to jome ono coonected with the Court, and this verson telegiapbed the intalligence also in upber to a tiusty friend at Breelau, who lost no ime in_apprising tbe Bishop of the iatentions if the ian Government. The rest is soon wid. A nobleman, & resident of Breslau, called at be palsce a little after noon, and took the Bishop in his carriage for a drive. Dr. Foerster vore his usnal dress, had no servania, aud ghera Fas nothing to indicate that it was not aa ordi~ ary drive. They went to & rural railwsy station bout 10 miles from Bres| Here the venera- tle old man (he is nearly 76 years of age), took he train and proceeded to a point about 15 miles Irom the Austrian frontier. Here he was met by ihe equipage of another noblemsn, which con- weyed him by & mountain road to his own_castie of Jobannisperg, where preparations had been made for kis receplion. So quietly was the busi- pess managed that this latter coachman did not know who was his {ljnstrious passenger. Hera the Prince-Bichop has resided in his own prince- Iy castle. surrounded by those domaios, the appanage of bis epiacopal see, which are famona 21l over the world for the glorious vintage, the Johaunisberger wine, which they bear. It is worth remembering that the Diocese of Breslan ern:braces not only the greater part of i Silesia, but aleo gome conterminous districts of Austrisn Silesia and Moravia. Heuca the Bishop Das never stirred during all those mouths outaide sbo boundaries of his ecclesiastical chavge. For some time the Prussian Government seemed paralyzed by the disappointment, But the proceed:ings in the Ecclesisstical Court wera resumed, and bave at length been broughs to a ciose by the sentence of deposition. It is worth noting that while legally Dr. Heurich Foerster has now ceased to be Bishop of Breslau within the Pruseian districts of his Diocese; his au- thority remains unaseailed within the Austrian districts. All along it bag been assumed that inthe event of ‘Alva inthe Low Countries, the fixes lit by Catholio | Sunday afternaon during the ensuing scholastic Miary in Bogland, and thoss in Iwil’, in. which per- 1604 Dius and Savonarotk. 03, rovival of these furies is no longer without doubt the bo feated— "thanks to the progress of light,. thanksio s, soften- ing of morals, But the principlo which gave them birth is there, always thero; sud whoever does mot fall on bis knees before him who said, “I am the truth,” is anathematized, ¢ When, therefore, the Bisliop of Oiléans and tlie sler- scal party of the Arsembly asked for liberty of instr uo- tion they meaut ouly, by liberty, liberty to be the mas- ters ; 2nd this is what will bs given them unless can be taken by tho law which hias been voted, T only wish a8 & proof this passage from ML Laboulaye's repart.

TO THE ARCHBISHOY OF UTRECHT. The following extraordinary. document is printed in the Globe-Democrat, for which paper it was translated:: Pope Pias IX. to_ his reverend brethren, Andress Ig- Datius, Arclibishop of Utrecht, together with his suf- fragan Bishops and his beloved sons, all the Catholics of Holland, geace and apostolic beuediotion : X know hat duiy bound we, our highest apostoli- cal oftice, sent you an address, dated the J1st of March last, in which, by virtue of our apostolical power, we desiguated the clection of Johsunas Heykump, an clec- tion undertaken by the so-called canons of Utrecht, and which the Deah of the so-called chispter of Ttrecht was 50 bold a8 _to announce to s—to be the so-called Archhishop of Gtrecht as worthlesa, unlswful, and racrilegious, aud accordingly vacated and snnulléd the same, and, under penalty of excommanication, for- bade the said Hoykamp not anly esch aad every exer. cise_of episcopal jurisdiction, but ordained, siso, that neither ho should present himeelf for consecration, Dor that the so-called sishops of his party, or any other Archbisbopa or Bishops sliould presume o con- secrate him, whose clection was of 1o force and effect ‘Without fearing the Divine y accumu- Inted, the unkappy foliowers of the schism and errars of Jabsentus added sin to sin, namely : his consecra- tion to his election, which former fact the sxid Hey- Jamp, having received that sacrilegious laying on of hands, has dared to announce to usinan addrees,. dated the 3 of June last, most artfully feigning sub- miseion to the Apostolic See, while by that decetsblo act, and the disimulation of his sudscity, as well sa by bis assertions touching the prerogatives of this Apos- tolic See, acknowledged and homored by the whole Church, as it 1s, he furnishes the strongest proof of his perverso and stubborn nund. To repel such presumption and the offense given, as well as to employ thst care conformably to our oftice, #0 that o rapacious wolf in_sheep's clothing intrude to scatter the fiock of the Lord, We make use of the power given us of God, and, first of all, declare the consecration of Johannes Heykamp to be nmlawful, Dull and void, sacrilegious, and against the command- wents of the Holy See, as well sa the holy laws, Wo reject and abominate the sxme; we excommunicate and condemn the so-called sacrilegiously consecrated Johsun Heyksmp, also Johannes Linkel, tho so-called Bishop of Harlem, who performed the ‘act of conse- cration, as well as a1l thoss who assisted in that wicked deed, ©0-0 or approved it; while we decroe, command, and declare that they arc excom- municated, to be rded a8 schisnntics, and carefully svoided. Further, said Johann Heykamp is understand th: if ot willing 10 incur further pumshment, he must deaist, Dot only from each and every functon belonging to our jurisdiction, asnoted by us in our miszive of the lst of March, but, a8 we now declare, from every- thing at all apvertaining to the affice.

To the Editor of The Chizago Tribune; Cureaco, Oct. 23.—As your columns scem to be always open fo earpest and candid inquirers after religious truth, and having for a long time felt & qesire to have the mysteries romoved from tho recorded genealogy of Jesus, I hersby pe- tition a limited space for the purpose of present- ing my doubts to your readers, hoping that some one lesrned in theology will kindly come for- ward and make clear to me that which now seems seriously contradictory, and offera a for- midsble barrier to my adoptiug the New Testa- ment as my guide in religious belief. In tracing the genealogy of Jesus 18 given by Matthew, we find that from King David the linesge is through Solomon and his posterity, reaching down through twenty-eight generations to Jeus; making forty-two generations from Abraham, divided as follows: From Abraham to David, fourteen generations ; from David to the going away into Babylon, fourteen generations and from Jechonias to Jesus, fourteen genera~ tions. Luke, in hus gonealogy, gives us the same connection from Abrahamto David, but thers leaves the lios of Matthew, aud tells us that it 18 throngh Natbanand his posterity that the linesge of Jesus is to be traced ; aud gives us fourteen generations more from David to Jesus than given by Matthew. In resding thess two, which are claimed tobe inspired records, wa find the following important discrepancies: of his deposition he would eudeavor to_govern from Jobannisberg the Prussisn a3 well as the Austrnian portion of the Diocese. We snall now £eo whelher this anticipation will prove correct ; if, 80, some curious complications, even of an international character, are not unlikely to arise, Dr. Foereter is the third Prussian Bishop who has been deposed by the Berlin Court for Ec- clesiastical Affzars ; the others were Count (now Minnl%oLadochnwufi, Archbishop of Posen, xod Dr. Conraa Mrtin, Bishop of Paderborn.

Matihew gives twenty-eight gene- rations from David to Jesus, and Luke gives us forty-two. Matthew says tharo are fourteen generations from Jechonias to Josue, when by actual count thers are but thirteen. Being an humble seeker after truth, I shall be highly gratified if some one versed in these thiugs comes forward and, in the epirit of Chris- tian kindness, removen the clouds which now darken the sky of my mind and csuse me to doubt the inspiration of thoss evangelists who Dave given us these contradictory and seeming- ly unreconcilable statements.

CHICAGO MIRTH. AN OLD SUPEESTITION. Thera are. many well-to-do and religionsly-in- clined people who still maintain'a wesk and. watery opposition to the amusements which” are nowadays go popular in eociety. They do not absolutely prohibit parties and balls, They even lend an unwilling assent to tho entreaties of their own families for occasional entertain-. ments of that port at their own residences, but they neverless feel it'thelr ‘duty'to inveigh at. all times against the sinfulness of pleasure-go- iog, and are no doubt conscience-stricken on every occasion when their children enjoy them- selves in & manner which they themsclves had been taught to consider ungodly. This old- fangled ides is but the last surviring relio of the customs which were imported into this country a8t & very remote period of antiquity by a barbar~ ous tribe of people called Puritans. That even this feable reminiscence of a long perished race should still survive after the lapse of g0 many centuries is but a striking and ‘in- | terosting proof of the strength and power of popular superatitions. How to reconcile this antiquated notion with the livelier instincts of the present generation is a question which is well worth congidering. It hus beenalrendy angwered—partially at lesst—in many of tho Eastern cities, where the ‘ricter Bcason has been enlivened by balls, socisbles, theatrical and other entertsinments, the Pro-, ceeds of which are devotod to charitable par-, poges. In thig way the religious scruples of the' less worldly membars of society are readily over~ come, on tho ground that the worthy end justifies ‘the unwortby ' mesns. - ‘And it has been found that the most Puritanical ladies were able to'enjoy themselves~ as “these entertatn~ ments as heartily a8 theirless sorupulous sters. However, the subjeot neod nat be enlarged upon ot this time. The suggestion is only thrown oat Doy in the hope that eome such meagures may be taken in order to give theee loss sinful crea~ tures a chance to combine their religious feel- iugs with pleasuce. $ A PLEABAST BECEPTION, Last Tuesday evening arocoption waa given at the residence of Dr. and Mrss D. 8.
