WASHINGTON, August 31, 1870. The Fishery Troabies Looming Up Again. ‘The impending conflict between the American and Canadian or Dominion fishermen has again been brought before the attention of our government in @ shape which will call for some oficial action or opinion. The maid rules enforced by the Dominion authorities, shutting out our fishermen from Cana- dian waters, and even forbidding American vessels engaged in the busineas from entering ports of the Dominion to obtain supplies or to store their fish previous to shippiug them to Boston, lave not only dissatisfied our own countrymen, but likewise occasioned distress in certain parts of the Dominion, Before the enforcement of these rigid regulations American tishermen en. joyed pretty much the same freedoia the Canadians. They were allowed also w coring their fish to Charlottetown, Prince Edward Island, where they were permitted to store it under a bond not to offer it forsale in that market. Now that is ali changed, British crwsers forbid even the entering of American fishing vessels into Charlottetown, and the consequence 1s that not only are the Bostonians losers, but the people of Prince Edward Island also complain that their own business is injured. Seve- ral of the Boston people engaged in the trafic have addressed a leiver to Secretary Boutwell complain- ing bitterly of these stringent prolibitory regula- Uons and asking for the intervention of our govern- ment. Judge Richaidson has referred the matter to the State Department, and it is hoped that through the efforts of Secretary Fish with the English goy- ernment some reiuxation of the barsh measures may be secured. Phe Grant Equestrian Statue. Ostner's equestrian statue of General Grant, or rather the model, was inspected to-day by General Dent and several other persous, tucluding two ar- Usts, who pronounce it in every respect an admir- able work, It represents the General on his famous war steed, as he appeared during tne late war, and 1s about the same size as the statue of Jackson in | Lafayette square. The bronze statue will be imme- diately made from this model aud piaced on the south front of the Treasury, Increased Receipts from Internal Revenue. The receipts from mternat revenue for tle months of July and August, as compared to-day with cor- responding months in 1860, show an increase this year of two million two hundred and seventy-five thousand one hunared and twenty-seven dollars, Bonded Warchouse Locks. What's in a lock? is bothering the intellects of our officials here very considerably just now. A commission has been at work for some time ivesti- gating all kinds of locks, with @ view to securing the very best for use on the bonded warehouses and new bonded cars. To-day these wise men agreed that the best locks are the- Thompson lock, the Townsend lock and the American seal lock. But this conclusion had hardly been reached when, presto, comes an agent of the American Seal Lock Company, who, in order to show the dangers of the ‘Townsend lock, goes to work picking tiat lock, and within two minutes has it opened. This skilful Picking was done in the presence of Acting Secre- tary Richardson, whose vision was very much startled. But the most remarkable part follows. AS soon as the American seal lock agent accom- plished his feat, Mr. Thompson comes up again and claims that the lock of the American Seal Company is an iniringement on his patent. If this can be established Thompson, with a “‘p,” ts to be the great lock monopolizer, as he will have no rival whatever in the business. Abstract of the Foreign Trade of the United States.

The work of reducing the number of officers of the army under the new law is rapidly going on, and, in addition to the large number recently ordered pefore the Retiring Boards several are daily honorably dis- charged at their own request, receiving one year’s leave of absence and pay from the date of their dls- charge. As soon as the Retiring Boards make the necessary examinations of oficers ordered before them a hundred or more will be placed on the re- tired list, which bas been increased to 300 under the resent act of Congress. The Revenue Cutter Geranium. Captain Davis, commanding the cutter Wilder- ness, reports to the Secretary of the Treasury, from Galveston, having got afloat from the beact near High Islands, on the Texas coast, the United States tender Geranium, which was ashore, with two feet of water under her bows and four feet under her stern, Much difficulty was experienced in getting her afloat, which was, however, accomplished, and the vessel towed by tho Wilderness to Galveston, The Wilderness ran considerable risk, and was once or twice in a dangerous position, but escaped with- out any material damage. The Alaska Seal Fisheries. The bond of $500,000 required under the law to be entered into by the company obtaining the Alaska fishery contract, as security against the failure of the performance of their obiigatiens under the lease, was to-day fllea by the Alaska Commercial Company with the Secretary of the Treasury, by whom it was accepted, and the lease thereupon issued to the sald company.

Complete returns received a+ the Census OMce show that the Fourth wara of New York city has 37 inhabitants, the Fourteenth 29,604 and the Legal Tender Cireulation. ‘The outstanding legal tender circulation, accord- ing to the books of the United States Treasurer to- day, was $56,000,000, There is on hand tn ti ‘reas sury of the United Stutes, notes of the scries of 1869, $114,417,158 to supply the place of moles ree tired. ‘The frag{loual currency outstanding to-day is $40,067,954, Penalties Forfeited on Customs Bonds Pay- able in Cota, Certain goods, whtlo in transite overiand in Texas, destined for export to Mexico, were sold by the carrier en route an@ entered imto consumption without payment of the duties, The bond was given iu the sum of $100, which amount was tendered by ‘the oblUgors in currency, The question having been brought to the attention of the Treasury Depart- ment as to whether the penalty was to be patd in currency or coin, tt was answered that although the bond, while stating the penal amount, omits to specify whether cotn or lawful money ts intended; yet, Inasmuch as the ultunate object of the bond 1s to secure the government against the loss of that whieh 13 always payable in coin—viz., customs du- fies—and as the condition expressly pro- vides for an optional discharge of the ob- ligation by payment in coin, the object of te bond would bo defeated by construing its penalty as payable in curreucy. The Department, therefore, held, and the collector at Corpus Christh Was 80 Instructed, that the penal sum mentioned tn the bond was, payable in cotn, and whea thus paid the bond might be cancelled, The loss of goods in transit, which, under the regulations entitles the obligors upon the transportation bonds to obtain re- Hef, must be of a character to indicate that missing goods neither did nor can enter into consumption within the limits of the United States. When the proof fails to meet that requirement it 13 insufficient to Justify the cancellation of bonds without the pay- ment of the duty on the goods alleged to have been lost, Persona’ Sir Edward Thornton, the British Minister, hag left here for a visit to the Dominion.

The Private Deposits Stolen from the Safes— Tho Loss Estimated at Over $100,000— A Scone of Wreck and Spoliation— Reticence of Officials A great deal of commotion was observable yester- day morning among the black-coated gentlemen Who occupy offices on the upper floors of No. 805 Broadway. At an early hour there was hurrying to and fro along the galleries, whispering in the rear offices and in tue front ones, especially tn the rooms of the Board of Missions, where varying expres- sions of excitement and consternation chased each other over faces usually bland and complacent. It was discovered THE GREAT SAVES had been robbed, and property variously estimated at from $100,000 to $150,000 carried away. On en- tering the room at that time a scene of great confu- ston presented itself. The floor was thickly strewn with papers, large leather walicts and bill books were scattered about, and here and there a tin box, forced open and emptied of tis contents, lay in the position in which it nad been carelessly thrown. Among the many papers thrown about the room Were found to be 3 large number of REGISTYRED UNITES STATES BONDS, Noclue to the perpetrator or perpetrators of the robbery seemed to present itself to any of the rev- erend sccretartes, who, aiter a series of consulta- tons, finally seat to police headquarters for detec- tives. On examination the safes were found to be emptied of everything of negotiable value, includ. ing a service of silver plate belonging to the Rev. Mr. Depew, and other articies of silverware, the property of clergymen who had used the tacilities { olfeved by the two large sa’es as a sort of SAPE DEPOSIT. Not only silverware was left in this place of sup- posed security, but money and bonds in large amounts. Some small wallets containing the say- ings of a Jifetime of frugality and economy by humble parish preachers and others, and larger ones were well filed with the surplus accumulations of fortunate and fashionable prelates. Such of the bonds as were registered were quietly thrown on the floor, and those which were payable to bearer were invariably removed. The largest single looser is one of the Secretaries of the Missionary Board, who was ROBBED OF $15,000. Hopes were entertained that at least one of the | safes had resisted the efforts of the burglars to open it, as 1t was closed and could not be opened by aid of the key; but It was subsequently found that the thieves nad opened it and ciosed it afterwards, Workmen were summoned from Marvin's Safe Factory, and after considerable delay they gained acccesg to the inte: tor only \ find that every arucle of value had been removed. It seemed very strange to a casual observer tuat the robbery should have been successtully performed by any one not well acquainted with the arrangements and familiar with the place, re TWO NIGHT WATUAMEN on the outside of (ke buliding and one on the inside, and the only persons having rooms on the floor, with the exception of an artist and perhaps one other person, are churchinen connecied with some of the many Methodist concerns. The money of the society was deposited in a differ- | ent place, aud that of tae Book Concern was in a safe | ; b me we can ead h in another part of the buiiding, It ts therefore only individuals who lose now, though that loss may be almost irreparable Lo them and sweep away the savings of the best part of thetr lives. A HERALD reporter yesterday called upon the sec- retaries at the rooms of the board, and ASKED FOR PARTICULARS in regard to the burglary. The ofMcials present stated they did not choose to disciose anything in regard to the affair for publication at the present time, and that thoy had been advised by the detec- tives to withhold all information for some days, The reporter replied that he had already the main facts of the case, and only asked for any additional particulars in their possession, ‘The reverend gentie- men then demanded the suppression of the above statement and the reporter falling to promise them anything of the kind one of them grew brusque and Insulting, saying ungentlemanly things unworthy of repetition. There is some reason to suspect that if the rob- bery was perpetrated by parties not In the employ of the Book Coucera, it was accomplished at least by EXPERT BURGLARS, as they were shrewd enough not to appropriate any of the registered United States bonds, they being, of course, dificult and dangerous to negotiate. All bonds left by them were thrown with great reckless- ness about the apartment, together with empty wallets and miscellaneous papers, decds, mortgages, &c. The rather strange circumstance of the depre- dation, however, is that the safes were in nowise injured but were opened by keys, and, as they were fitted with combination locks, to open them the thieves must have obtamed the combination humbers or characters. The saies were of Marvin's make and were coustdered'first class of thelr kind, It will be undoubtedly a considerable time before any exact estimate of the loss can be made out, as some of the valuables placed on deposit were so ce- posited in boxes and other receptacles by clergy- men and persons who are absent as missionaries, colporteurs, special agents and on their midsummer vacations, Many of these gentlemen are now in Europe or distant States, and it is understood that aga general rule no record was leit by them with the Concern as to the vaiue of the deposits severally made by them. When the full damage ts ascer- tained, of course, the amount abstracted may be found to be less than is now supposed, but the fig- ures given above were the estimates of some of the oficials of the Book Concern yesterday.

Archbishop MeCloskey on the Vatican Council and the Dogma of Infallibility, Imposing Reception at St. Patrich’s Catheiral. SOLEMN ECCLESI TICAL PAGEAN A-solemn ecclesiastical reception was yesterday accorded to the Most Reverend Archbishop McCios- key, on the occasion of his return trom the Holy City. A more imposing religious pageant has sel. dom been witnessed within the hallowed walls of St, Patrick's Cathedral. The sacred edifice was crowded to the very doors; and, while the feelings of the tm- mense assemblage devoutly harmonized with the object and the surrounding circumstances which marked the event, the welcome was unmistakably sincere. It will be remembered that Archbishop McCloskey, in attending the Ecumenteal Gouncll, took @ somewhat prominent part in the various dis- cussions and attracted considerable attention by his Profound and erudite theological views on the sub- Jects brought forward. His return to New York had been anxiously awaited for some time. Prior to his arrival meetings were held in the different parishes throughout the city, and it Was unanimously resolved to give him a grand re- ception in the cathedral That the most sanguine expectattons of the prelate’s ardent and affectionate admirers were completely realized the magniticent display of yesterday thoroughly demonstrated. Characterized by all the grandeur and religious pomp which ever mark the ceremonies peculiar to the Roman Catholic Church, the reception to the Archbishop yesterday was an event that contd not have falled to make a lasting impression upon those who attended it. Admission was by ticket, and although the hour named for the reception was twelve o'clock, the cathedral was filled fully two hours before that time, The intertor of the edifice presented quite a brilliant appearance, and when all the seats had been occupied the mass of people in the rear moved up the ajsies, or, more properly speaking, were com: pellead to make advance, owing to the pressure of the dense throng. The altar was handsomely decorated, and myriads of lights burned on the high altar. Among those occupying seata in ita viemity were Mayor Hall, Matthew T. Brennan, Sherif O’Brien, Judge Gunning S. Bedford, Judgo Joseph F. Daly, Judge Dowling, Judge Quinn, Dr. McSweeny, J. J. Cummins, Denis Garon, Juage Shandiey and others, Then @ splendid array of beautiful toilets, and, in fine, the appearance of the cathedral tn every aspect was such gs to Inspire feelings of solemnity and admiration. Shortly after twelve o'clock the grand organ Pealed forth, and, in conjunction with a splendid orchestra, played @ Te Deum marca, and almost simultaneously with the first strains of music the doors of the sacristy were thrown open and the pro- cession issued forth in the following ore Acolyw.

Holy water was tuen | sprinkled around, The procession subsequentiy | went up the middie aisie, and the clergy, numbering about 150, deflied to either sides of the altar, when | versicles were sung by the Vicar General and re- | Sponded to by the choir.

The Ze Leum, by Lambolait in D major, inciudmg the Ze @loriosi, soprano svic was also sung, with fuil orchestral accotapautment, The Rev. Father Preston, of St. Aun’s, then ad- vanced to the foot of the altar and delivered an ad- dress to the Archbishop on behalf of the clergy. He said:—It is with the utmost pleasure and gratitude to God that the clergymen of your diocese to-day in this sacred place welcome you home. They speak in their own name, and in the name of the faithful | committed to their charge, wien they express the | universal joy which 1s felt by your iock at seeing you once more among us, seated upon your own epis- copal throne.

The Most Reverend Archbishop McCloskey then ascended the pulpit, and amid the deepest silence spoke as followa:—Veunerable and respected breth- ren and clergy, I should be too happy, were tt possi- bie, to return anything like adequate thauks tor your kind and affectionate reception; but for this L Teel myself unequal, and I must simply throw myself, without reserve, upon your generosity.

There were there bishops from China, bisuops from Japan, bishops = from Abyssinia, from tue mori and from the south, from the isisuas of the sea Scattered throughout the ocean. There were there venerable patriarchs representing churehes of | the earliest days of Ouristianity. TInere were there prelates renowned for thelr iearning, and for their eloquenoe, for their piety, for their devotion to the- cause of Christ. Toere were there ry und contes sors, nen who bad suffored and bearing upon their persons scars and Wounds which had Leen inflicted upon them. [might mention oue imstance in the case of the Bianop of China who came to Rome. He had barely esoaped from his resivence, which for | weeks had been besiewed by the tnilitary, wait- ing for the moment when ne would be assassin- ated, according tothe edict of the Kimperor to put him to death. “But hie escaped from their hands and took part with his brothers in council, They were gathered there from all parts as children and broth- ers, all performing one and the same unaal- mous act of faith, officiating at the same altar, in various liturgtes, in various costumes; but the same sacritice, the same consecration, the same | adoration and the same communion, It was a spec- tacle inspired, @ spectacle sublime and beautiful beyond description, and such as Rome, wita all its traditions of glories never, perhaps, had seen be- fore, and it may be destined never to see again. So that it may be truly said there never was a conncit more truly deserving the name of general, the name | ot Ecumenical Council of the Vatican, 1 have alluded to the magnitude of the questions which oc- cupted Its attention. I would fain dwell upon that, but Lam warned that [ must nos trespass upon your patreace. Bot there im one polut when the name of the Vatican i menttoned comes up at once to your minds, one Uiat has received a pecniiarimporiance not only because of that Which imtriusica ly belongs to I but because of the external attention which tas been drawn to it throughout tne world, aud doctrine of tafailipuity of the Pope. A misrepresentation, and, th consequen' deal OC misappretiension, exists as to the’ meaning and the nature aad tie mien’ of the Lutallibiity of the Pope. if is sald by many, and it ts believed: by iany, that the Churcn and the Vatican Counci has been creating anew doctrine, tas been imposing upon its Carisiian people a belief which they never heid before; has heen conferring upon ihe Hoty Father, or has allowed the assumption by the Loly Fath Xof a prerogative and of ea authority which heiore nad been recognized or recetved, an oppression of the sof the people, that tl Was a disturbance of the peace aad tranquillity of the Cmurch, that i Was an Laiterference with political and civil society, and that it would make the Pope a sort of demigod, gulhorsing him to teach and divine and deciace whatever he pic nd that the motto would be— “All right; the Pope can do no harm—the Pope can do no wrong.” Now, beloved brethren, let me say that the Vatican Council bas made no new doctrin® | It has given to the Pope no authority or prerogative | which ‘had not existed m him belore; thatit has | hot oppressed the caimest consciences; that it has not mterfered in either civil or political society; but, if properly understood and received, would con- tribute to the good order, to the strength of both, and to the peave ant wellare of the people; and that tue Pope, although infallible, is a man sub- joct to erior. “He ts infallible a3 Pope and as Vicar of Christ. As) & =man— as a private bishop, if you will—he Js subject to error—sabject as you are, except by the assistance of God's grace. The Church does not nor cannot creale any new doctring.

Such has been the doctriae of infailiviniy of the Pope which has been believed by tie Christian | world since tie days oi the Aposiles until now. Yhe Church has always believed that the Popes of Rome are the successors Of Si. Peter, and, as suc cessors of St. Peter, are the inheritors of the pro- 4s Which Christ made to hit, and are also the iuterttors of Ms prerogatives and’ of his supreme apostolic authorti Christ said to Peter, “Thou uri the rock, and upon this rock 1 wail build my Chareb, and the gates of hell will never prevail against you,” The Church was to endure forever, and how jorever ti the rock dia not eadure forever; | And how would the rock endure lorever If the gates | ot hell were to prevall against it?

When we say he 1s infallible we tean that when in the exercise of that ofiice, when in the exerclse of its duties as Vicar of Christ, as dof the Church, as the organ of that Churel, as the pastor and the teacher of that Church, he divines a3 a dogma of faith, and he is, in virtue of his promises which have been mude io Peter, and to iia through Peter, protected from error. He has the promises of the Holy Gnost made to protect him. By his office he is calied upon \ to decide when discussions spring up; When schisms threaten, when consciences are disiurbed, when doubts vex men’s minds, the Catheiic heart in- stinetively turn towards the See of Peter to demand and to hear from Nim the words and the teaching of truth, and whea he spoke i was the mouth the mouth of Christ—vor Det, ide between: the trae and and protect the people against them: and would say it reverently—wouid not God tave been wantiag to His Church if he had failed to provide eu General Councils could not convene; whea bishops could not comé together? He spoke with that voice that spoke by right and by authority, aad, hav. ng the assistance of te Hoty Ghost, he’ spoke the trutn. And now, my brethren, that the Charel has spoken, We, as Catholics, bow down in obedt- ence tb tts decrees. You have heard of the diseus- | sions, you have read much of the agitations, even | among the bishops themselves. True, never was there # question more fuliy and more freely discuss. ed; never was greater liberty granted to any body of men, I will say, either of the Church or State, to speak out freely the sentiments of their heart and the convictions of their mind, than was given on this and every other question that arose In this Vatican Coanctl. They did speak freely whatever they spoke upon, never forgetting their dignity as bishops, never wilfully, or, L way » Uowilliuily ovending the most delicate seusibi y ther, Nothing that was calculated to excite ant. mosity was aroused.

The libel which furmed the cause of action tn this imstance coul/l not have been uttered im any other place than Halifax, as the vessel only stopped incidentally at that port and not for asaMcient ume to enable @ casual observer to determine what lier condition wi Her real condition was established by the company by parties Who were professionally aware of lier seawortiiuess and safety.
