4 PRINCE ARTHUR. An Unsuccessful Moose Hunt in the Nova Scotian Woods. The Tour Through the New Dominion Resumed. A Hearty Reception in the Principal Cities and Towns of New Brunswick. Painful Accidents and Pleasing In- cidents of the Journey. Grand Complimentary Ball by the Citizens of St. John. Sr. Joun, N. B., Sept. 7, 1869. ‘The chase and hunt are over, and Prince Arthur has resumed nis tour through the New Dominion. He may have enjoyed the brief period which he oc- cupied in search of pame, on account of the tempo- rary relief which it adforded him from the daily gaze and lionizing of admiring multitudes; but asa purely bunting excursion his trip was failure. For four days he whiled away the time in the wild woods of Nova Scotta in vain search for a moose, but this Noble beast of the forest had, probably through ant- mai instinct, been advisea of the contemplated royal war upon his species, and acting upon the double safeguard of presence of mind and absence of body the whole moose tribe intrenched and con cealed itself beyond the range of princely guns. The most expertenced Indian hunters and guides did thetr best to scare up from the thickets a single animal, but all their efforts and stl! were in vain, and the oaly game worhy of asportsman which re- ‘warded young Arthur’s hunt were a few partridges, Plover and other smaller fowls. The time, however, ‘Was spent pleasantly by the whole party, and what ‘was lost in game was fully atoned for in the leisurely jaunt through the wild forest. There was, of course, an absence of those hard- ships peculiar to the hunter's life, for none of the royal party were dependant upon the resources of the country for the necessary food and drink to pre- serve human life, nor did they find tt necessary to rest their weary limbs at nightfall with only the canopy of heaven for @ shelter. Their experience was 60 far different from this that it is safe to let ‘the fact pass into history that all the choice luxuries of the season, in tne shape of catabdles and drink- ables, were among the chief features to be remem- bered of the trip, and each day’s journey, singu- larly enough, happened to be so arranged that witn the approach of night @ comfortable and hospitable shelter for the sovereign youth had been reached, I will repeat, therefore, that as a hunt the whoie affair was a failure; but as a pieasant, quics ‘snd romantic recreation it was everything that could be desired, and Prince Arthur has so expressed bim- eelf. But this secluston, so pleasing to his Royal High. ness, is at an end. He has renewed his journey through the provinces, and during the ensuing ten days or fortnight will be subjected to all those inconveniences characteristic of a tour of one renowned, respected ant honored. But, after all, the satisfaction which he must invariably enjoy at the cordial manner in which he is everywhere re- ceived must more than offset the personal inconve- nience occasioned by the constant acknowledgments which courtesy, if not his own feelings, requires him torender. From the very moment he emerged from the Nova Scotian wilderness‘ yesterday morning up to his arrival in this at moon to-day there has been one constant ovation, each demonstration seeming to rival ite predccessor in enthusiasm and kindly feeling. For instance, when he arrived at Shediac, a hun- dred miles or more from here, yesterday morving, nearly the entire population of that plesant seapo: town had turned out to receive and do him honor. The decorations were, of course, as nu- merous as the people, and every combination of artand nature was brought Into requisition to give the town a ay gala appearance. it would not do for his Royal Highness to pass by without being assnred of the feeling of the peopie towards nim, and this was expressed in an address delivered by Hon, Daniel Harrington, in behalf of tue citizens of Shediac. It was as follows:— May 1T PLRasE Your Rorar Higunrss :— We, the inhabXants of Shediac, bak your arrival with Joy, and offer you a hearty’ welcome to New Bruns- Wick, and assure your Royal Highness that it is exceedingly gratifying to have this opportunity of tendering t» the aon of our Gracious Queen our loyalty and devotion to her Majesty our great regard and esteem for ber royal family. We pray that your Royal Mother may ‘be long spared to adorn her exaited station; that her whdom and justice in the formance of publie duties, her great moral worth and her estimable private virtues may be as heretofore a source of pride, great gratifeation and blessing to all her Majesty's Joyal subjects, and an incentiveto all to practise those vir- tues which give social happiness and are the foundation of tre national greatness and prosperity. ‘Your coming to colonies is another instance of her Majesty's 4 care and consideration, and we trust that our visit nay be pleasant and satisfactory to yourself, as i most gratifying to us, and we pray that whatever posilion « kind Providence may have in store for your Ro: ighness, 1 may ever beattended with his choicest blessings, We have the honor to be your most humble and obedient servants, His Royal Highness was pleased to make the fol- lowing reply:— I accept with very great satisfaction this address, in which express with much feeling your tion to the Queen. jer Majesty will be very pleased to receive your assurance of attachment to her person and throne; and, for myself, I must beg of you to receive my sincere thanks for the cordial reception you have given me, A most lamentadie accident occurred dnring the response Of the Prince to the address of weicome. Asalute in his honor was being fired at the same time, and one of the artillerymen, named Collamore, while ramming in the charge, had both bis arms blown off by the premature discharge of the cannon, the accident being occastoned by the care- lessness of the man at the vent. ‘Toe event caused a feeling of regret and sympathy among all, and, at the suggestion of the Prince, the poor fellow will ve liberaily cared for by the govern- ment during nis remaining years. The gloom con- sequent upon this sad event robned many pleasing incidents of the reception ot half their interest. One little occurrence, however, should not pass without Mention, and that was ihe presentation to the sove- reign scion of & beautitul bouquet by Miss Letue Wilson, of New York, now temporasily residing at Shediac. Tne Prince received the gift graciously, as he did other similar tributes from the young ladies of the town, which were projusely showered upon him until the train moved away from the station, The demonstration winch appeaied most to the finer feelings of humanity was that which took place atthe Petitcodiac stauion, about midway between Shediac and this city, There were all the decora- Vions, ail the enthusiasm, ail the pomp and splendor, and the inevitavie addresses of welcowne which had been Noticeable at other points. But there was @omething more impressive in the vocal strains of the ‘Voices of the several hundred Sabbath school children assembied when they united in one grand chorus ‘tn sing Qn original welcoming ode to the royal ‘visitor. The alt was the same as that of the grand national anthem, but in every verse and in every line there was a happy expression of kindly feeling. This Deautiful tribute of welcome came before the com- Inonpiace speechés, but the latter were none of the Jess sigaificant of the feeling of the yaar Hugh Davidson, in bevalf of the citizens, delivered the address, which was as followa:— May 17 Prrass Your Rovat Hionnens tal nts of Petitcodiae rejoice in this the fire portunity offered of sincerely tendering to your Royal High- to the son of their rest some nine yearn soy Yet we a ¥ those unmistakable evidences of civil and relig- {ous liberites, which we in common with ail uly loyal. rif iah subjects, value as our highest priv And and glory that we form s portion of that ‘he freest and most nt on the face of lobe. And our earnest prayer will be that ce. Koyal Highness’ stay in the Dominion pay be fraught with pleasure and benefit to your Royal Highness individually, and tend, if ible, to knit usstill closer in the bonds of affection and \delity to the British throne and eguativution. Arthur replied as tollows:— ‘Thin most gratifying to me to receive snch constant assn- ‘Fanoes of devoted attachment to the Queen, snd I value these Much more highly coming from an industrious aod hardy pie like you,who bave in sv shorts ime converted » wil- ess into such & prosperous place. From Petitcodiac there were no incidents of ac- count until the train arrived at Sussex, where there ‘Was another “right royal British greeting.” Busi- DCHs Was suspended for the time being and the peo- j¢ crowded around the station by thousands, Flags and bunting met the eye, cheers deafened the ear, andthe scene Was gay and feative generally. but tne stopping of the traln was gniy for a moment, Just Jong enough for lis Koyal Highaess to be formally welcomed by the citizens and acknowledge his gra- titude thereior. The remarks of greeting were made ‘by Nelson Arnold aud were as follow: LRABE YOUR ROYALS, Hiotis nas We tes loved inhabliants of King’s county, beg most re- tally to avail ourselves of thie your ral visit to New r 0 loyal atte: raneMirone nd person of your Royal Moser, our ai NEW YORK HERALD, SUNDAY, SEPTEMBER 12, 1869.—TRIPLE SHEET, ‘endeared as she fs to us and to ranks and conai- $ ‘by her exalted ‘and private vir- then, and mod olaceraly do we z fiat she’ sho may long trash also that our Ro} at Hien, during your tem- PoEnry renidenee.t gusts Kiad Provideuce may, tustais your Hen Miithneds for mang yeare in the enjoyment of health ind of every blessing. ‘The Prince replied as follows: 1 do not know how to thank you sufficiently for your Joyal demonstration. Wherever I have been welcome cheers have met me, and [am glad to see that you, the inhabitants of this delightful district, are anxious to do your utmost. Many anks. From Sussex to St. John, the destination of the royal party, the train made time, and no op- portunities were afforded for further demonstra- tions. There were crowds, however, at every sta- tion, and as the locomotive and cars shot by the rumbling of the train was lost to hearing by the welcoming cheers which came from the mu/titude. The St. Jonn station was reached at about one o'clock; but long, long before this hour thousands had gathered around the depot to catch a glimpse of his Royal Highness and unite in the gen- eral manifestations of welcome, A couple of com- panies of military were there as @ guard of houor, also the band of the Sixteenth regiment, stationed at Halifax, and the dignitaries present were Lieu- tenant Governor Wilmot and staff, the Mayor and Corporation and various distinguished citizens of St. John. The representative gentlemen mentioned were the only ones admitted inside the station, the military escort and general multitude being necessarily compelled to remain outside. The Scene around the station as the train arrived was one without # precedent im St. John, except on the occasion of the visit of th Prince of Wales here, nine years ago, The FS eee spanning the European end North merican Railway, was literally covered with people of all ages and of both sexes, and the line of 8) - tors stretched in one solla phalanx away up Jeffrey's Hilt, some on foot, many in seemed one vast desert of anxious and royal-worshipping bu- manlty. In the interior of the depot the reception Toom had been carpeted and generously ornamented with flags for the occasion, and from the ceiling de- pended strings of bouquets tastefully interwoven with evergreens. All this and much more had been pre- pared in honor of Prince Arthur, whose eyes rested on the scene scarcely five miputes. Upon alighting from the train be was received by Lieutenant Governor Wilmot, and escorted to the reception room just described. Having been tae sented to his Worsnip Mayor Alward, it devolved upon that clever and unassu geiciah to an- nounce to his Royal Highuess the pivasure that tt afforded the St. John people to extend to him the freedom of the city, The Mayor, in a clear and elo- quent tone, performed his task tn a handsome and RnEADOrTAs IES, manner, his language being as fol- Owe:— May IT Pixass Yous Royvay Bionwese:— We, the Magar, and Commonalty of the efty of St. John, beg leave to appronch your Royal Highness for the Purpose of heartily welcoming you to we seize with the highest satisfaction the oppo: newing those assurances of loyalty and devotion to the throne of your ancestors, which, in the last century, this corpora- fon tendered personally to your Mlustrious grandfather, the Duke of Kent, during bis reeldence tn this alty, and more re- cently to bis Royal Highness the Prince of Wales. We have every reason to hope that the military career upon which you have entered will be allke honorable to yourself Snd conducive to the renown of the empire, and that 1 long continue to be a source of maternal pride aud grates ton to our most gracious sovereign, whose queeniike virtues and moral worth are alike justly appreciated by ber devoted subjects in this Dominion, who rejoice in her beneficent rule, and the millions of the great nation on this Continent with whom it is onr desire to maintain and cultivate in amity and good neighborhood the most friendly relations compatible with our firm alleglance to your royal mother, eur beloved Queen. We earnestly pray that may please a kind Providence dappliy to prolong your youthful years, and thet He by whom alone princes re(gn may vouchssfe to’ your Royal Highness uninterrupted continuance of every blessing of this life. The Prince in bowing his grateful acknowledg- ments made the following reply:— GRNTLPENEN—The welcome given me in the course of my rapid Journey through New Brunswick lef me to anticipate a hearty recepiton at St. John, but the demonstrations made here to-day have far surpatsed all my expectations, and I eannot sufiiciently thank you. ‘Your expressions of loyal attachment and devotion to the Queen are most gratifying, and you may rest assured that her Majesty will receive them with pleasure. T rejoice that an opportunity has been afforded me of vi ing this town, which plays a9 important a part In the co mercial intereste of the Dominion. That this prosperity may not only continue but largely increase will ever be the con- stant prayer of myself, as it fa the earnest wish of the Queen,’ our Sovereign, Then followed the address and reply of the Jus- shed the former being read by the Clerk of the ence, All this conventional furmality having been gone through with it was now time that the Prince should show himself to the general multitude congregated ovtaide, With Licutenant Governor Wilmot he pro- ceeded to @ carriage in walting, his appearance being greeted with most hearty and prolonged cheer- ing, a salute by a detachment of artillery, and the national anthem by the band of the regulars. The party drove immediately to the Court House in Queen square, closely followed by the dense crowd, and the air resounding with cheers meantime, Having entered the Court Honse some of the representative men of the city were presented to his Royal Highness, and afterwards he appeared upon the baicony m response to the cheers and calls of the multitude outside, When he re-entered hia car- riage to take a drive throuh some of the principal thoroughfares of St. John there was the wildest excitement among the crowd as to which direction he would go first. It fnaliy appeared that he would proceed down King street, and immediately there was an indiscriminate rush across the square in toat direction. The confusion, excitement and tall running was worthy of Bull Run, and in the general stampede several women and children were trampled upon snd serioualy injured. One young lady, Jonging in Sussex, was carried away in an insensible condition, and there are serious fears entertained of ner recovery. Having taken a drive through some of the principal streets Arthur and his party finally repaired to the Waverley House, where the same suit of rooms occupied by the Prince of Wales was for @ second time nonored with the flavor of royalty. During hig hasty tour of the city tne Prince was confronted by @ choir of some twelve hundred school chtidren, and while he halied to acknowledge their presence in honor of nis own they united in singing the national anthem, Hnishing up with the following expressive and origioa! stanza:— Lord, from thy throne above, ‘The riches of thy love ‘On Arthur pour! Grant him all good, we pray; Koop every il array, Be thon his guide and stay For evermore! In the evening the chronic weakness of his Royal Highiess was abundantly gratified. Tne grandest of all grand balls thus far was given in his honor, and the streets were made brilliant with bonfires, illuminations, torchlight processions and freworks. ‘The Terpsichorean festivities took place In the great skating rink, in the nortn part of tne city, and within the beautifully decorated edifice tnere were assembled about 1,000 couples. The whole assembly ‘was arrayed in most fashionable attire, not a masca- line appearing untess in @ fall dresa suit, and the tollets of the ladies were fully equal in richness and elegance to those commonly seen in the New York, Boston and Washington bailrooms, Arthur parti- ee in the opening dance of the evening, having . Sheriff Harding for his partner, and until the hour of his departure, long after midnight, he was almost constaatly on the floor, To-morrow morning his Royal Highness leaves for Frederickton, where he will nave a public reception under the auspices of the provincial government, and then proceed directly by private conveyance through 259 tolles of unratiroaded and untelegraphed conniry to the Riviereda Loup. From this point he will go by rail or sieamer to Quebec, and after the reception there he will depart for Montreal and join his regiment.

Another Ecclesiastical Case in Chicago—In- fant Baptism Considered in its Relations to No. 2 Corn. ‘The civil courts of Chicago, not content with ut- terly ignoring the sacred and supermundane au- thority of their High Church Bishop Whitehouse, are spreading dire havoc among the ancient and honora- ble prerogatives of the Board of Trade. The Bourd of Trade, though not expressly vaunting {ts preten- sions as @ religious body, yet has @ double claim to sacerdotal exemptions and ecclesiastical privileges. In the (iret place, as in this country all religions are equal, and the worship of God has no State su- premacy over the worsnip of Mammon, {t is clear that the Board of Trade, upon whoge altars fragrant fmcense daily risea im honor of the al- mighty dollar, enjoys as exalted a status betore the law ad the haughtlest and loftiest of all the altitudinons high cockalorum Protestant Episcopal churches, joreover, with whatever serene self-rightcousness the high cocka- jorum churches on the avenues may look down upon the benighted heathens of the Board of Trade, the wickedness of “corners on corn’ and the de- ravity of those who ‘sell short and don’t deliver,” it is certain that out of these same corners are brought the very corner stones of the avenue temples, Hence the Board of Trade hath @ double right to is incegen eae ecclesiastical jurisdiction over its own worship. First, because tn its sinfalness and de pravity it furnishes during the week the targets for the theological Boanerges of the avenues to fire at on Sunday; and, secondly, because it pays for the powder expended im the fusillade, Whatever target excursion might be without ammunition or target the avenue temples would be without the Board of Trade, It was doubtless from this strictiy ecciesiastica! view of tue matter that the civil courts of Chicago, Episco- pal Church cannot oust a curate without thetr sanc- tion, are now about to hold that the Temple of Mame mon cannot expel worshippers unless they permit, | , the time is approaching, and now is, when Sparrow shall not fall to the ground without lea rst obtained of the Superior Court. This new con- flict between Church and State arises in the case of a firm of corn brokers, who plead that they have walked for yeara in all the statutes of the Board of Trade blameless; they have removed the hide from their brethren in the faith in all cases courteously, and ha’ endeavored, wherever possibie, to leave enough of the epidermis and cuticle to enable the leather to grow again; } this rigid adnerence to virtue they have made gret rofita in their business, wherefore they utterly re- fact to beshorn of their membership in this Temple of Mammon. The incense that rises pefore the altars of the God of Finance 1s a part of their material rosperity, and to be shut out therefrom would be bo sell their carriage and discharge their third hand maiden, with other consequences injurious to their welfare. But it is @ sacred canon. of the Temple of Mammon that its devotees shail not R to law one with snother before the heathen judzes, bot shall pring their cause before the arvitrators. Now, 8 sort of Philia- tine broker, having sold short to tne frm aforesaid on a Vast quantity of No, 2 corn, refused to deliver, Contrary to the canon they carried their cause be- lore the heathen judges. Whereupon tne Sanhedrim, an ecclesiastical court of the board of Trade, ex- ied the said firm, and thereupon the heathen Fea from ges issue an tnjunction restraining joing 80. ‘The identity between Bishop Whitehouse’s case against the reverend rector Oheney, and the injunc- tion now served upon the Board of Trade is a} Parent atagiance. Mr. Cheney, it may be said, sold short in infant baptism, and couldn't deliver, His bishop proposed to expel him, He appealed to the civil courts for redress. Now, we do not ied that there is aay resemblance between baptis- mal regeneration and No. 2corn, They are quite dis- unot. But why may not a rector who sells short on the one and don’t deliver what he promises be ousted by the councils of bis Church as easily as a broker who seils short on No. 2 corn? and has a broker who is sold short on No. 2 coro, and appeals to the civil tribunals for redress, any better status in curial than a rector who fails on heavy operations tu tnfant baptism, and asks the civil courts to pro- tect him from the margin? We see bat two ways bj which the clyii and ecclesiastical courts, tne Christ- fans and the pagans of Uhicago may escape from thelr dilemina. Let the Bishop of [litnois take up a coliec- tion through his diocese for the relief of ali who have @ corner in No, 2 corn, or let the president of the Board of ‘Trade be forthwith bapuzed into the most altitudinous of the high cockaloram churches of Chicago a3 an unregenerate infant, while the re- mainder of tho Board are graded as No. 2cuorn. The Board of Trade and tne high cockaloram churches might then be consolidat Into one religious and financial body, devoted to the joint worship of God and Mammon. Clubbing their funds, they could ne- gotiate with James Fisk, Jr., for tne purchase of a New York juage. Upon hia arrival in Chicago, as fast freight by the blue line, he could issue an in- Junction restraining the civil courts from the offence of sternutation, which, if effectual, would prove that ecclesiastical tribunals are not to oe sneezed at. This done would be serene on the placid shores of Michigan. The Avondale Charity. New York, Sept. 10, 1309. To THe EprroR OF THR HRRALD:— Seeing how ready you always are to give a helping hand to a deserving charity, 1 beg leave to offer the following suggestion in benalf of the widows and orphans of the late accident at Avondale. It is that you wonld urge the ministers and priests of every church to the city of New York to devote the collec- tions taken Up in their churches om mext Sunday morning and eyeuing to tuis deserving charity. Ecumenical Council. To THR EpiToR oP TAR LONDON TIMES:— Reaily the divisions cropping up among our Roman Catholic fellow jsudjects are so sorious that the sooner the Council meets to reluce them to unity the better it will be ror their Churoh, ‘M. A.” and Sir George Kowyer do not appear to ‘be of one mind; and the editor of the Westminster @azetle and the editor of the Catnolto Directory, who has the advantage of an address at No. 8 York piace, idence of the Archbishop, are clearly mnuch 1D Want of the action of the General Council. Let me say & word for the Catholie Directory, in tho presence of its great rival, the Westminster Gazete, On ite tiie page is “Permissu Su periornm. | The editor 1s tao Rey, W. A, John- son, whose address ts that of Archbishop Manning, Mr. Jonson, in bis preface, jasuy ol es, “it would have been easy, by lowering the standard of book, to bring out an inferior Directory at & reduced price; but after submitting ‘he question to tue judument of ecciesinatical su- premacy,” &c, The prejace also continues:—"The Addivional Information in this year’s Directory con- ts chiedy of the enlargement of its first section, an Ld ag on (the Eoumenioal Oounoil and ppendix including the pastoral letter of the Archbishop.’ Now, it is too bad in the editor of the Westminster Gazetle Wo Genounce a bald a transiation execated at No. § York place by tne Archbishop's secretary and pablished in whe Catholic Directory “Permissu Superiorum. One word about my old opponent, sir George Bowyer. In & letter to ad rae ne tomeas or abfoas never fe wate any humor has kes merry at the ex- and ne mai nse of the Council, He justifies interpreta- ion put on the letters potalo both by the Arch- bishop and your bumble servant. io says, “Protestants are invited to attend; but be and Wesjeyans and Mr. mn would request to be heard. They have not done so as yet. But sup- pose they did; Sir George could not blame them, but the Pope for inviting them, I should be very glad indeed to hear that Mr. Spurgeon would be allowed to preach one of his faithful evangelical sermons tn tne hearing of the Pove. It would do his Holiness much good, I think also the appearance of the Pro- testant denominations Sir George’ refers to would look as respectable and apostolic as the Roman Catholic denominations on the opposite ste, con- sisting of Passioniste, Redemptionists, Franciscays, Dominicans, Gray Friars, Blue Friars, White Friars, Black a, ec, If the gre questions at issue have been ‘thrashed out and sifted,” why does the Pope write to us a tet- ter apostolic, denourcing our “social scnisms,'’ “sects,” * ties destitute of authority established by God,” and assuring us “that on our return to his Church depends our salvation,” and also “invite us to attend” and “avail ourselves of the opportunity 1” I think, sir, the subject, 80 far, 19 fairly exhausted, and “M.A.” and the “editor of the Westminster Ga- zetie” and Sir co Bowyer turned out of every retreat into which they have fled, and that matters now stand as originally stated by the Archbishop in bis correspondeuce with your obedient servant, JOAN UUMAIING. Is the Catholic Church Unchangeable? To THE EDITOR OF THE HERALD;— Ihave carefully noticed the battle of the “giants” in the H&RALD of late in regard to the “Ecumenical Councii—The Catholic Church Unchangeabie,” and I wish to offer afew remarks, and close, if possibie, the argument, The “Lay Catholic” is wrong when he aays the Catholic Church has not changed. Dr. Newman says sho is the work of development, and, in order to meet the wants of men, she has incorpo- rated auxiliary means to help the faith of the peo- ple. Bat the “Lay Protestant’s’ tabular statistics in rd so the creation of new doctrine at these certain dates are not really true. All these doctrines were long believed before an Ecumenical Council romulgated them. Roman Catholicism can fall ack on Scripture to prove about all of these ‘‘Popisn errors.” ‘That Roman Catholicism has at times be- come weak and almost imbecile I will not deny. ‘There was great moral corruption among the people tn the days of Luther, and Luther, with honest in- tention, sought to remove the errors. The truth was in the Church; all that was wanted was to bring it out. Luther sald there must be a fundamental cl There he seriously erred. Protestantism has run for 300 years, and what is it? It is @ foolish failure, Has it purified the morals of men? Has it brought back the rela of Christ upon earth? No, it nas not, Is Episcopallanism a success? Is Presbyterianism? Ig Lutheranism? Is Methodism? All are failures, The evangelica: doctrine was asserted by Luther and tt fatiea, ‘in, John Wesley, in the midst of testant social corruption, reasserted it again; but still 1t i afailure. It loses che masses; lets militons of men go im open infidelity. Roman Cestiptionens with all her faults, is the only conservative elemen' that preserves order or the religious life in men. She ts ritualistic enough; she ts evangelical enough, and as @ misstouary Church abe has wondertully succeeded. Roman Catholicism nor Protestantism hag littte or no tafluence on civilization. Greece and Rome became civilized without them. But what is wanted is some Religious Power that will keep men from being led away by their passions; stand ap for eternal truth; resist the follies of the times, and pre- vent men from going back into babarism. And, If Rome does not possess that power, it exists not on earth. VESTERN CATHOLIC, Science vs. Authority In Theology. To THE KpITOR OF THE HERALD:— The science of correspondences, revealed to the “world through Emanuel Swedenborg by Him who alone was found “worthy to take the Book and to open the seals thereof,” furnishes the only key by which the Sacred Scriptures can be unfolded so that man can intellectually see that God’s Word ts always in harmony with His works; that however much theological soldiers may divide its letter or external garments among themselves its spiritual sense, like the Lord’s vesture, is “without seam woven from the top throughout.” All the works of God are living; the animal, vegetable and mineral kingdoms are constantly sustained by an inflowing of life from Him. Man may imitate the living forms of the animal or vegetable kingdom, but he cannot give to his images life. God alone is the author of life. If all the works of God which we behold around us are but the ciothing of spiritual forms or affections and thoughts, with material coverings, then it follows that every tndi- vidual thing in the three kingdoms of nature, corres- onds to some affection or thought from which it fas originated and from tt derives tts life. Every effect must correspond to its cause. The works of man manifest his affections and thoughts; in other words, correspon’ tothem. The same ts true of God's works. If man only knew to what particular affections and thoughts all ings in the natural world correspond, nature would an open book in which he couid read the aifections and thoughws of hus Creator. In the writings of Swedenborg we are informed that in the earlier, innocent ages of our race—in the “golden Graney did so read the Di- vine language and will; but, as our race descended into evilé, this knowleage was gradually lost; only remnants of it, more or less perverted, remaining, from which sprang idolatry, mythology g;>@aasonry. Now, it is evident that if the sacred Scriptures are special revelations from God to man—are really the word of God they must differ as much fromt he writ ings of men as do the works oi God from the works of In other words, they must be living or fall of life—the Divine affections and thoughts manifested the language of men, or spiritual truths clothed in natural human lan; In order that it may be in harmony with Hia works, God’s word must be and it was written according to the law of corres- yndencea between netural aud spiritual tlungs; hen the key which unlocks the volume of reveiations ‘will anvell the book of nature, enabling us to read in both the beaytiful spiritual truths, Mgnited by sun, moon, stars, mountains, hills, valleys ani rivers, horses, cattle, sheep and lambs, and all other terrestrial things. Two florious volumes, one of His Word, the other of His Works, worthy of our Crea- tor, which can never conflict when seen in the light of genuine spiritual and naturai sciences. Nature is fuilof apparent truths to the vision of the child and the uneducated; its real truths, as revealed bY the natural sciences, are often directiy the opposite. God’s word, ‘o be in harmopy with His works, should and does, in its literal sense, contain apparent truths which are also the opposite of the real truths, When we come to understand the correspondential language, in ac- cordance with which the Sacred Scriptures were written, then if we read of the anger of God we shall look through and beyond the letter and behold & boundless flood of unchangeable love and wisdom ever flowing through the blessed volume to men, as we look beyond the rising and setting sun and koow that notwithstanding appearances our natural sun is the centre of our solar system, and ever pours down upon the earth @ boundless fluod of heat and light, corresponding to love and truth. Day and night, summer and winter, are caused by the aspect of the earth towards the sun, and not from any change in the sun. So, when it appears from the lever of revelation that God is angry, jealous, hates, &c., it ia the aspect of the human soul towards Hin waich gives this appearance, and not any change in Him. As we come to understand more clearly the jawa of the physical universe we gradually look beyond apparent to real tratas, So, as we study the great system of correspondences revealed in the writings of Swedenborg, we cease to be troubled with the apparent contradictions, in tne liveral sense of the Scriptures, for, in the spiritual sense, all the Apparent contiets of the letter disap- pear. The Lord’s Word, thea, is written in strict accordance with the laws by which the universe was created, and must be unfolded, if at all, according to the laws by which tt was written, 80 that men can mtellecuially see its true meaning, as they see the truths of actence. Nothing short of this will fully satisfy the rapidly increasing class of spiritually free men of to day; and nothing else shoula, The writer is able to with the late venerable Profes- sor Busl sires tri h for the sake of leading a good and tra life, and can lay aside his prejadices, can read the unfolding of the Sacred Scriptures, aa contained in the writings of Swedenborg, without seeing and knowing that they are from God, and that the interpretation is ie. Truth must be seen in the light of truth, in order to be abiding and useful to us; and so seeing it we shall not need the ‘aathority of great names, Churches or States, to confirm us in it, | Even ope, will avail nothing in this age, for the youth of to-day know that the earth turns on its axis, and that the san does not go around it, although their grown up and venerable ancestors, and Churches, believed the con- trary for thousands of generations, and @ majority of the men on earth believe it now. Truth, then, seen in the light of truth, l# mightier than the authority of men or Churches, however aged, for ali truth i# from God, and even the letter, with ita bp truths, needs only the attest: © tation of mira- jes, great names and Churches, during the state of childhood and unpreparedness, to see or perceive the real truth in its own light, The editor of the HeRaLp has truly ideas.” Authority, venerable and nious, pronouncea many of the discoveries and in- ventions of the iast few centuries im) nbie and even sacriligious, and would have stayed the wheels of progress if possible, ven where the future happiness and soul's salvation so tutimately depends, aa on the knowledge which may be uired = from a careful Study of that blessed volame, which God bas given to lead ua in the path of hife, itseems that there is at least one Church or sect Which would have the potato doubting and bewildered nderers, among the multitudes of sects and Churches of this day, biindly give up the exercise of their God, given freedom and reason, accept her doctrines and inter- retations of the Bible, on her aathority—biind jeaders of theblind. The true ts of the future must show the man’s comprehension that the trines and interpretations they Gre rational ‘and true, and then an appeal to authority or anti. quity will be a8 unnecessary and absurd as such an appeal would be to-day to prove the true course of the circulation of the blood, Not back ¢o Rome, but forward to light, Itberty and life of the comenee.

Go, Catholic lavman, and ask the young butterfy to return to its chrysalis or the beautiful bird to the shell from which it has just emerged, to escape from the un- certainties and even dangers of its new existence; but leave the newly awakeuied man to move forward into the descending light witch ts fowtng through the ovened Word and permeating the dark corners of ignorance, superstition, bigotry and intolerance. “Skin-Deop” Religion. The Mobile 7rivune does not believe that any of the dark-skinned races are capable of receiving, re- taloing and transmitting Christianity, except in con- tact with and under the mastery of the white race, It says that it knows from personal observation that the conversion of the Polynesians is only “skin- deep; that the chiefs of the South Ses Islands pro- fess Christianity for the purpose of increasing their trade, And as for the negro tn Africa, Ohriatianity has not yet made the slightest impression upon him; and elsewhere be is a Christian only so long as he 13 in slavery and under white control. Left to him- self he speedily lapses into fetish worship, which is natural to him. Several years ago an isolated settle- went of negroes on the island of Jamaica were found worshipping the figurehead of a ship that they had brought from the coast. “The negroes of the South are traveling the same road,'’ says the Tribune, Religious Revivals in Virginia. The Lynchburg (Va.) News says:—We mentioned some days since thata revival of religion was in progress among the oolored people at Mount Moriah church, in Amherst, and we now learn that the meetings are continued daily, and are attended by vast crowds of colored people from far and near. On Sanday it is estimated at least 10,000 were present. During the meetiug, up to this time, about 600 have professed conversion, many of whom have been baptized. The services are conducted by colored preachers of the Baptist Church, and the excitement among their hearers is represented to be the most intense and unprecedented ever witnessed tn the county. The Bediord (Va.) Sentinel has received intelligence of a powerful revival at Bethiehem church, on the south side of Bedford county, under the ministry of the Rev. Wiiliam L. Hunter, pastor of South Bedford circnit. One hundred and two professed conversion during the meeting, and the membership of the church at that point was actually trebied by the mmagnitude and power of the work. Under the ministry of the Rev. Mr, Hunter and the Rev. John M. Saunders, pastor of the Bedford circult, there have been 250 conversions since the first Sabliath in August, We have rarely heard of en extraordinary prevalence of the revival spirt Religious Notes, On Wednesday next, September 16, it being the tenth day from Rosh Hashono, the Jews celebrate another of their great festive days of the year, the Feast of Reconciliation, closing the days of Repent ance.

Change in the Management of Affairs—The New Administration and Operations of the Junta—A Privateer Reported to Be Fitting Out. The quiet which has for some time prevaiied in Cuban circles in this city is enlivened somewhat by the expected arrival of a new agent from Cuba to assume charge of the operations for forwarding Material aid to the strurgiing patriota, Ever since the capture of the expedition at Gardiner’s Island last June affairs at the Cuban headquarters have Deen very dull, the patriot agents realiz ing that so long as the United States government maintained its unexpectedly an- nounced policy of preventing all assistance from going to Cuba from this conntry, they were powerless to accomplish any material 00d to their struggling countrymen. Occastonally reports have been circulated that an expedition was abont to start for Cubs, and parties desirous of joining the Patriot forces have, upon hearing the rumor, flocked into the city; but at no time since the Gardiner'’s Island affair has there been any organized effort te fit out an expedition from this port. The vigilanca of Spanish agents and the promptness of the United States civil authorities to arrest all parties engaged in such an undertaking in New York were sumMcient to deter the Junta from renewing any military movements; and. be- sides, 1¢ was well known that revenue cutters with steam up constantly have watched the bay and East river ever since May, and aro on the same duty till, Tn fact tt would be impossible for @ Cuban expedt> tion to depart from New York at the present ume, and the Junta has for the last two months formed more of a headquarters for inactive Cubans than @ department of warfare. THR CUBAN JUNTA Was organized in New York soon after the révoe lution commenced in the island and consisted of the following omcers:— Sefior Lemus—Cuban Envoy. Sefior Alfaro—Secretary of War. Sefor Mora—Financial Agent. General Gotcouria—General Purchasing Agent. Seior Bassora—Genera! Recruiting Agent. Colonel Ryan—American Recruiting Agent. ‘The headquarters has always been 1n the building No, 71 Broadway, and were located on the secona floor in the corner apartment, looking out upon Broadway and Trinity church, There are threo rooms, the first of which serves a8 an ante-cha mber, disp) oe yr Cuban Wi wi bese’ notice oats wall outside the railing that no men sre recruited in that ofice, From nine A, M. until evening this apartment is occupied by Cubans discussing the cause, and gentlemen of various na- tionaiities whose military bearing and earnest con- suitations often attract the notice of the casual vist- tors, Adjoining the ante-chamber is a large room for ordinary interviews and clerical work, and next to tits is the private office of the principal orficials, The utmost caution is observed in the presence of strangers by the Cubans in their conversation re+ specting Cuban operations, and in reply to inquiries by individuals relating to the opportanities for Jomne ing an expedition the officials emphatically assert that no new expedition 13 contemplated. WHAT THB JUNTA ACCOMPLISHED. ‘The first few wonths of the Junta’s operations were attended with so much success that everythin; promised fair for the early triumph of the patriot canse, and the management of the last ill-fated ex- edition was no doubt conducted much more foosely than would have been the case had not the Junta been led to believe, from the sympathy ex- pressed by our citizens and the inaction of the United States authorities in the matter, thas our government bad no disposition to interfere, The steamer Perit was the first vessel to leave for Ouba with a large amount of material. She took 490 men, a battery of arttilery, 6,000 stand of arms and @ sup» ply of quartermasters’ stores and equipments, ali of which reached the patriot army in safety, Tnis vee sel was followed by General Jordan’s “risen consisting of 190 men, with heavy barbette guns {oi land batteries and valuable war material. It is prot per to state that tn it expedition was also fitted out under the direction of General Jordan, It 1s annecessary to refer in detail to the Ryan eX- edition, complete particulars of that expedidon aving: n published In the HERALD on the occa- sion of its departure and captare, As before stated, the sudden frustration of that ahere Dt and the ity rte = prisonment of the officers of the Junta and ex, tion, effectually put a stop to or} pee 6 toward fitting out commands for Cu Tow om. cers undertook to get off with detached parties, and in the Southern States two or three attempts wer@ Made to recruit men and get them across the Guit (¢ Cuba; but the activity of the United States marshals broke up all such movements. Tne Junta had noths ing to do with the Southern movements, except to give information and advice when inquired ol he Specting the means of communicating with the patriot army after landing on the island. The whole amount spent by the Cubans in this country for men and material tnvs far is estimated at over $1,000,000, in gold, PENALTIRG INFLICTED. None of the Cuban oMctals nor officers of the captured expedition have suffered anything at the hands of the government aside from the loss of thetr material seized by the authorities and thelr temporary confinement in jail awaiting examina- tion. All were released on bail soon after their Le nd will probably never be troubied by authorities on the subject again unless they should resume expeditionary operations. The vessela employed in the expeditions have also all escaped loss, with the exception of the Perit, which had to afine of $500 on account of some informality in her manifest from Jamaica. The men com; the Ryan ex- ition have scattered throughout the country and ‘he oMicers have resumed their ordinary avocation: having abandoned the idea of Joining Cuba with ap; force from this country. THE NEW CUBAN AGENT. Sefior Francisco Cesavarios is expecto’ to arrive in & few davs, and will assume charge of Cuban affairs here. He ls the nai friend of President Cespedes aud comes with abundant means and authority to direct the Cuban interests in this country. Cap tain Camancho, who went out on the Perit in the capacity of pilot, has been here some time, and will be associated with Sefor Cesavarios. Both these gen- tlemen were actively engaged In. titting ont the first expeditions, and went to Oubdain the Perit. The present Junta will probaaly remain very much as 18 ig now, except that Seflor Cesavarios wiil pe the principal manager. REPORTED PRIVATFER. The Spanish agents tn the city state that they have reason to believe that the Hornet is fitting out as @ rivateer, and that she will take a picked crew of 00 men from Boston and New York, It is alleged that she will receive her armament at sea, and with letters of marque will proceed to destroy Spanish commerce. The agents admit, however, that they have no concinsive evidencs to substantiate tiese suspicions, and are of tne opinion that the Hornet, if she really be intended for a privateer, will suc ceed in getting tosea. The Cubans deny all know- ledge of such an enterprise, and assert that ne ettorts whatever are being made to forward men or supplies to Caba, nor to fit out privateers, THE SPANISH GUNBOATS. One Vessel Completed—Trial of Her Engines Movements of the Spanish Agents, Work is stili being driven rapidly forward on the Spanish gunboats at the Delamater Iron Works, and one of the thirty vessels contracted tor by the Span- ish government is completed. Sho has been lying a8 the wharf foot of West Thirteenth street during the past week, most of which time her engines have been running for the purpose of testing tier ma- chinory and fitting her bearings perfectly. Carpen- tera are just finishing the interior joiner work, and it is expected that next week the vessed will be in readiness to be submitted to the Spanish oMcials for their inspection and approval. This boat is designed by her builders te beasort of spectmen vessel, which, if accepted by the Spanish Minister, will be used asthe model for the twenty-nine, Her speed will probably be tested some time next week. Fiiteen of the gunboats are {ying at the foot of Thirteenth street awaiting ther mac! ners, all of which is in readiness to be put om board. other fifteen boats, at Mystic, Conn., are not having anything done upon thein at present, thetr construction having been suspended ever since their seizure by the United States Marshal in August, No arma nor nrunttions of any kind are to be admit ted) the gunboats unt they have formally pe out of the contractors’ hands and been taken ion of by the big government, Since the capture of the Ryan expedition and the arrest of all the principal Cuban oficials the Span. ish agents have been comparatively unoceit- pied, They ‘seem to regard all Cutan operations im this country as being viru ally at an end, with the exception of privateering schemes; and confident that no organized expedt- tion nar armed Cuh an vessel can elude ihe vigilance of the United States officials in New York, they are directing their attention to ontelde metiers, such ag recruiting for Cuvain the Guif States and the re- Ported movements tn various quarters for the pur- po of equipping the Hornet at sea ps a privateer. jessrs.
