A Clerical Voice Upon Victor Emmennel and PuILaADeLPata, Dec, 4, 1870. Yesterday morning, having strolled up the trim length of Cnestnut street, wondering as I passed along whether William Penn himseif first set the fashion of the white shutters and low, clumsy-look- lng stone stoops that everywhere offend the eye, 1 turned into Eighteenth street, and just as I reached the end of a first, delicious after-breakfast cigar, arrived at Logan square and ine Catholic Cathedral of St. Peier and Si. Paul. This is one of the most limposing ecclesiastical structures in the and, though a man of taste might, perlaps, Object to the over-ferid ornamentation of its fayade, the massive strength which is mutely prociaimea by the huge blocks of deep brown stone of which it uilt, and the simple dignity of its vast dome, ounted with a golden cross, Hashing with quiet udor in the rays of a bright autamnal sun, amply vindicate it against the cavils of captious eniucism. Next to the cathedral stands the episcopai resi- dence, a plain, substantial, many-roomed mansion, With deors and shutters, after the Phiiadeiphia Fasulon, of spotiess white. After waiting a few minutes in a cheerful recep- tion room, adorned with pictures of Pio Nono ana several Old Testament prophets, 1 was ushered up stairs into the presence of THE BISHOP. He is a tail, hale-looking gentiemen of some fifty or sixty years of age, with a cast of features so strikingly benevolent in thelr expression as to win at opee the respect and affection of all who come in coniact with him. Like every kind face, however, it is not wanting ina certain mild and pleasing dignity, and when scan- med narrowly it shows, in the faint turrows ef the brow and the lines round the eyes, the traces of thought and study and care; perhaps, also, of past trials and sorrows and temptations; but its pre- dominant tratis are sweetness and gentieness and large-hearted good nature, and as oue watches its genial play he can scarceiy help realizing that the lite of the good Bishep must be itke that of Lougiei- Jow’s *‘Acudian Farmers,” wiuch ran Like rivers that water the woodian:'s, ‘Derkened with shadows of earth, yet retiecung an image of ave, Having exchanged the social courtesies, I said:— “You are to have a large meeting on Sunday alter- noon ip the cathedral. your revereace ?”" “Yes; but it has beea called, and the protest which will ve presented there has been written, by the laity; and although I hearty approve of the contents of that paper, I shall not speak in support of it.

Then, only a few score year®%go, the First Napoleon actually placed the Head of the Church in CONFINEMENT, and for five long, dreary years he was severed from all communication with the Church. The Church is now passing through a solemn crisis, no doubt, but she has seen darker days and bas survived more bit- ter seasons of ailiiction.” X — if Rome be proclaimed the capital of italy — “Ah, there again I differ from the opinion of many people. ido not think Rome wall be proclasmed the capital; or, if it be, its natural unfitness gor such & Gistinciiog Will be so manifest that Italy will soon ugaim revert to Florence or Milan, or even Naples, #3 its political And social metrepolis, Rome has no trade nor can it ¢ equire auy.

The amount of work which these smoky, noisy laboratories an- nually produced, so far as regarda quantity, could not Le surpassed, while the quality and (nish which the machinery received was as perfect an that turned out anywhere in the world, The large and small stops located within the city limits, independent of forges and foundries, at the time in view, gave employment to upwards of 20,000 men, most of whom received very fair remuneration for their labor, some of the ‘first class workmen commanding #5 and $6 per diem. This state of things, so pleasant’to the well wisher of the metropolis and the country at large, it {8 kad toreflect, no longer exists, and the business that once ‘was wont to employ thousands of skilled citizens is a mat- ter of the past. The Novelty Iron Works, Morgan Iron Works, Neptune Tron Works, Allaire Iron Works and other equally extensive establishments of like character, but a short time ago that were as household words to every business man of the com- munity, have been silenced and their valuable machinery re- moved, or is going to ruin for want of use. Of the vast iron works in operation six years ago there remain but three or four, the Delamater Iron Works, Etna Works, Quintard Iron Works, Fletcher, Harrison & Co's and one or two others, and it ia but » question of a few months when these shall cease to be the busy hives of industry, unless there is change wholly "nlooked for that will enable their proprie- tors to obtain new work and keep together their well-tried ewployes. A tour amon, the latter named establishments a few days since impressed the visitor with the extreme duiness of the machine business of New York. Where 400 or 500 men were employed the year sround there are but a score now, and instead of being engaged upon large engines or marine boilers for nome fine steamship, are devoted to patching and tinkering up old work, that it may do little further service. ‘The proprietora generally were found to be sadly depressed, with no hopes of a better future so far as the production of new marine work {8 concerned, while some advised that, to keep their heads above water, they were diverting their at- tention to new branches of industry-the manufacture of improved stationary engines and like work. ‘The arguments of those intereste tending to show the reasons of this lamentable state of affaira were various; but the remark was frequently advanced that, inthe true interest of American material enterprise, no lawa in the Most despottc country in the world operate with anything Mike the complete power to paralyze the material prosperity of such a ountrya asthe American tariff system exercises in the suppression of several branches of native skill and in- uy, and sources of profit, for the benefit of a few other industries which are carried on at a disadvantage tnat can only be offset by closing the market against foreign compe- tition, They oeld that the facts which support this state- mnt are at the command of every man who chooses to in- telligently aud impartially investigate the subject. Be this as it may, those interested in the building of marine engines and fron vessels cry aloud against the present revenue laws, which they argue were tramed to enrich a few capital- ists In the iron bnsiness and other trades, who demand euch bigh prices for their products that they eannot be used in profitable competition with those of foreigners en- gaged in like trades; and that so (ar as protective legisiation in the interest of shipbuilding and, as naturally follows, the business of buildivg marine engines is concerued as enter as usual, be Pr.
