> ' 4 y ~ ,An Indignation Meeting of the Catholics of New England. (Your Thousand Men in Council—Protest Against tho Action of King Victor Em- manuel—“‘Right,” not “Might,” the Motto. of the Futare—Addresses by Right Rev. Bishop Wil- liams and Others. Boston, Jan. 6, 1871. ¢ One of the most exciting questions, perhaps, ‘which has ever agitated the religious world is that jpow under consideration with regard to the tem- ral power of the Pope. The results of the recent dnsurrection in Italy with their effects upon the Seti all the more obnoxious to 20),000,000 people use of the nature of their belief, have produced @n effect little dreamed of, it may. be, by those jwhose efforts have produced them. Very many, if jot quite all of those who profess the Roman Catholic faith regard the action of King Victor Emmanuel jas @ direct personal insult, not only to themselves, {put to him whom they regard as the Supreme Head jf the Church. A public expression of this feeling. Ywas witnessed in Music Hall 1a this city to-mght, hwhen, in pursuance of a notice read in the pulpits jof all the Catholic churches last Sabbath, not less than 4,000 “solid” and substantial representatives jot the faith of the Catholic Church were assembied fan council, THE INSIDE SCENE. It may safely be asserted that 4,000 wonld be an inside estimate of their number. Music Hall, in Zact, was never more thoroughly packed from par- quet to the topmost gullery than it was to-night, _The meeting was to have been called to jorder at half-past seven o'clock, but a jfull nalf hour before that time the doors Were closed and a cordon of red-whiskered jpolicemen, under the direction of Lieutenants Foster jand Curtis Trask, repressed the crowd who had ‘come too late for admission. And such a crowd as iat was, too! Winter street and Tremont, on which jare located the two entrances to the hall, were for jadistance of half a block, on elther side, packed jam full of people, so thoroughly welded together ‘that passing on the sidewalk was, for the time being, an impossibility, and pedestrians were forced to divide the privileges of the street with the carriages, which greatly throng these thorough- dares, Good-hamored the people were, though, and wemarkably docile and obedient to the orders of ‘those in authority. Their faces wore an alr of re- solute determination and bore no appearance of a desire to create a tumult. Pushing hither and ‘thither and surging like the trees of tne forest pe- fore the wind, they held fast to the position they occupied, and it would have puzzled a conjurer to have discerned the difference in pomt of numbers between the crowds inside and outside. One of the most noticeable features of its appear- ance was the eatire absence of femiminity—not a single femate face being visible in either assem- Diage. The cause of this, however, is explained by the remark of a prominent Catholic to your corre- Bpondent this everfing, to the effect that “the priests last Sunday forbade the women from coming to this meeting. They Knew that there would be men enough to cram the hall any way, and women would ‘be a nuisance.” The audience was remarkable for its docility. No ‘Doisterousness was witnessed in any quarter, and here seemed only tobe felt astern and resolute determination to act according to the convictions of conse lence, ON THE PLATFORM. Here was to be seen one of the most distinguished clerical assemblages which was ever gathered to- gether in tae Commonwealth, With scarcely an ex- ception all the Catholic clergy, not ouly of Boston and vicinity, but of Lynn, Salem, Worcester, Fall River and other prominent cities of the State, were ‘present; the Right Rev. Bishop J. J. Williams, fine Very Rev. P. F. Lynder, Vicar General of the diocese, and many others well known in the reli- gious world. The members of the laity occupying ‘seats at the head of the ball represented an aggre- fate of not less than $5,000,000 of capital, and their influence 1s not to be lightly estimated in the politi- ‘cal and social world, THE MEETING. At precisely half-past seven o’clock the meeting ‘Was called to order by J. U. Crowley, President of ‘the Union Savings Bank, who, after a few brief in- ‘troductory remarks, introduced Patrick Donahoe as ‘President of the meeting. Mr. Donahoe was greeted ‘with uproartous applause. Acknowledging the ‘compliment which had been paid him and indulging fn some prefatorv remarks concerning tie object of the meeting, he introduced the Right Rey, Bishop ‘Williams to the audience. THE BISHOP'S SPEECH. The Bishop spoke as fell peel dt Sele Rid alee oa » Wo fre assembied here this evening, ‘gentlemen, to protest gainal thetate usurpation of Rome by the King, of Italy. And before%his protest is read to you T think it well to say a few words on the reason why we make this protest. And the reason for this I think you will find by glancing over the history of the sovereignty of Rome and seeing in a few moments how the Popes received this power and why it waa iven to them. IfT understand it the sovereignty of Rome different from that of any other nation. Other rulers are elected by the people or they take their kingdoms by con- quest. They are rulers appointed im trust for the people whom they govern. But I maintain that it is entirely different with Rome. The Popes have received the Fight of governing Rome, the possessions of Rome, Which they hold at present in trust, not for. the Romans bat for the world. (Loud applause.) If we look buck to the very commencement of the Church we will find that for the first three hundred years, between the times of St. Peter and Constantine, the Popes bad under their control from time to time large treasures; large properties given to them by re- cent converts from ‘Paganism, that they mfgat always be ready to assist the poor, not only at Rome, but at a distance ; that they might assist poor Churehes, that they, micht pay ‘the expenses of missionaries to the ends of the earti; that they might keep the records of the Church; that they might provide for the sick, for those that were in prison ; to pro- vide for the burial of the martyrs; to see that the authentic accounts of the acts of the Church were kept and all suit. Foquirements provided for. For these purposes the Pop. theretore, had and have got large amounts, and I venture assert that I think {tcan be proved that many of the Popes, even of the times of Paganism, had more thotsands of money at their disposal for these purpores than Pius the Ninth ever had since he cate into the Pon- ticate of Rome. ‘Thi money was given to them for one purpose in trust for the Church. Remember this; for itis the gist of the whole argument, When Con- atantine came and delivered the world from Paganism and gave peace to Christianity then he endowed the Churen liber- ally, and it {g stated in history that he gave St. Peter's alone $50,000 a year--an immense ‘amount in the me of Constan- tine—and he gave ns much to the other churches, Mind, now, that all this was not for the Popes—for the Popes were not kings of Rome—but for the rest of the world; wherever Christianity was suffering or wherever there was need of help the Poye was to give forth of his funds to help them, Other noble men after Constantine gave offerings to the Church, and when Constantine left nd_ went to Constantino ple, and when the empire was divided and there was an em- pire of the West and an empire of the East the different ¢ ires enriched the Church for more than two hundred years. hus {t is stated in history. And the Popes owned for the use of the Chureb not only the States and cities around Kome, but cities and provinces in other countries beyond Italy. in Spain and France. And all this, of course, was not for Rome nor for the citizens of Rome, but for Christianity throughout the world, When the empire of the West was destroyed, and the ber- Darians made their inroads into Italy then the’ Eastern em- ernra sent thelr exarchs, as they were called, to look after fheir interests; but nelther the emperors nor exarchs ever made a permanent residence in Rome. From the time that Constantine left. Rome no king or emperor ever made his residence ip Rome. The Pope, therefore, was the real pro- tector of the people, although he snifered the autho rity of the emperors, and’ during about 200 years presented a sublime example of loyalty to God and atthe same time ‘tyto man, (Applause.) For 200 years he had to fight iinost the whole time the emperors, who tried to mislead- the Church and to introduce heresies from the true faith. On the other hand, they had to protect the monuments of the saints around Rome and. protect all Italy againat the barba- Finns, who pansed over Italy like s scourge. ‘They destroye cities’ and laid everything waste, During this time the Popes had to figit against the emperors in matters ‘of faith; but daring these 200 years they Kept up their .authority, protected the people against the emperors and Kept the authority of the emperors supreme in the country. Finaliy came the invasion of the King of the Lombards. He ‘put an end to the suthority of the government of Constant!- ‘pople in Italy and then came to attack Rome, threntening to lay {tim waste and destroy it as it had been destroyed before. «Pope, despairing of help from the, Emperor of Con- atantinople, turned his eyes toward the King of the French, Pepi determined, rather than have another fail, to k though he’ was, and see him. He left Rome es and lamentations of the people, who of ‘him not to expose himself in his long journey, sick as he was, Butbo went and was recelved with the greatest nonor ‘and veneration, Charlemagne went ninety miles to greet fhimy and the King himself with his whole court came ‘out ‘to meet the Supreme Pontiff on his road, And when told in what strait he was the King swore before is nobles and sous, and they with bim, to fight against ithe Lombards. He then wont over and fought the King of the ae made him return everything to the Pope. | He sn e jew nothing of the Eastero r, for, as Pepin went there for St. Peter and remission of his sii "t waitiongenough that time. He turned back nd Immediately the Lombards returned to Rowe, determined this time to take and destroy it. ‘The Pope (Ste: Phen) wrote again to Pepin, In that letter he didu’t say, “1, the Governor of Rome” or “the Pope,” but_he com: monced as if St. Peter himself was assaulted, He says 1, Peter, who hoid the See of Rome, ask you to come to our aid. And Pepin immediately started again, this time deter- mined not to turn back till the Lombards were eommarely conquered. He won a great victory, and after the tring! ho and his nobles went fn a grand procession to the tomb of Bt. Peior and laid the keys of twenty-two of the Italian cities Upon it intoken of their submission. All this time, gentie- en, we must remember that all this wasn’t done for the Romana but for the bead of the Charch, for St. Peter, and that all these things were given, not for’ the to keep “them alive and to furnish with food, bus for the Church, represented ‘dy the Pope, Stephen ; snd afterwards, when Pepin returned to Franco, years) afterwards, when ‘he was taken to his fathers and his eon Charlemagne reigned in his stead, then Bheve very same Lombards under another king came and Bitacked Rome in the midst of winter.

Mr. Hugh O’Brien read the protest. which the meet- ing was called to endorse. Its reading was greeted by ith the most vociferous plaudits. It 1s as {ol- lows: — PROTEST AGAINST THE SPOLIATION OF THE HOLY SEE, ADOPTED BY THR CATHOLIO8 OF BOSTON IN PUBLIO MEETING ASSEMBLED IN MUSIO HALL, JANUARY 6, eT 1. wrong bas been done to the Christian world by tho Piedmontese government. ‘The patrimony of St. Feter has been ruthlessly invaded 1a defiance of principle and of law, and the city of Rome, the shrine of art the capital of Christendom, has been besieged and taken by storm.

Mr. Jonn C. Crowley then delivered a stirring address, which was well received, MR. P. A. COLLINS’ SPRECH. The President next introduced Mr. P. A. Collins, member from Boston of the Massacnusetts Legisla- ture, who spoke as follows:— My FRreNps—The written protest and spoken explana- tion we have heard to-night place us right before tne public. In the ligat ot our own declarations we stand ready to be judged as Americans and as Catholics. Mindful ot ovr duties as citizens, fanhful in our allegiance to this govern- ment, we claim consistency for our sentiments, and offer no apology for them. Above kin \t8, and poll- tieal fustitutions, of whatever chai whose favor they stand; and to as elsewhere, owe their first and highest homage and aiegiance, As Catholics, we recognize the Papacy as the representative on eatth’ of that Supreme Power; for we are admonished that it i built upon @ rock, and “the gates of hell shal not prevail against it.” ‘Therefore it concerns us much that the spiritual dominion of the Church shall be exercised over ali who bow to its authority without the interference of any political power on carth; and that tue city to which Cathotics have paid tribute for more than eleven centuries shall remain forever the soul and centre of the Christian world. The question to be decided is not whether twenty millions of Italians shall have a capital, but whether more than two hundred million olics Snail be wantonly robbed of the seat of authority they have Leld for ages with the sanction of the civillzed world.

But to the Catholfc Church a territory of some extent, under the absolute control of {ts authorities, 43, and always Will be, a necessity.

Ambitious princes have sought to wrest it from its owners; Lombards, Goths, Huns, Van- dals, Saracens have trampled and deapoiled it; ingenuity has been ovectaxed to find pretexts for its seizure and appro- priation to oiher uses; but the Church, protected ia {ts right by the moral sense of the civilized world, has swayed trom Kome the minds of all who kneel her altars, with- stood thus far all efforts to destroy this temporal dominion.

Tneir title Is the oldest by’ prescription, the clearest on principlg, in ANOTHER WILLIAMSBURG TRAGEDY. A Young Man Shot for ‘“Jostling” Agninst Another, At about half-past two o’ciock yesterday morning ® young man named George Wilson was shot through the head and mortally wounded, near the Grand street ferry, Williamsburg, by Silvie Maillard, a Frenchman, under singular circumstances, THB HISTORY OF THE TRAGEDY isa brief one. George Wilson and bis friend, John Benson, both residing in Greenpoint, were spending Saturday night in New York, and at the hour named reached Williamsburg in o Grand street ferryboat, intending to take the cars there for their homes in Greenpoint. Before envering the ferry boat on the New York side they observed Maillard (of whom they knew nothing at the time) in the gentiemen’s sitting room, but took no further uotice of him until they had taken seats in the boat, when he came in and took a seat between them in one of the cabins, During the passage to Williamsburg no conversa- tion was indulged in between the parties, and, when the boat reached the foot of Grand street, Benson and Wilson passed out together, the former being in advance. Reaching the ticket office Benson patd the fare of Wilson and himself and remarked, “George, { think we are too late for the cars.” Wil- son responded by saying, “I think as much myself,” or words to that effect. Benson then kept on, tak- ing the north side of Grand street on his way to Rua atroek, Biro which the Greenpoint cars run, Shinking that his iriend Wilson was still behind him. ae @ few yards wi vanced im this direction HBARD A PISTOL SHOT on the opposite or southern side of the street, and looking over he saw the Frenchman standing over his id with a pistol im highand. He then ran across the street and grap) with his friend’s as- sallant, soon disarming him. He asked the assailant why he fired the shot, but fails to remember the answer, He asked his friend, Wilson, how tt was, but received no answer, as A BULLET HAD ENTERED HIS HEAD and silenced his tongue forever, Benson having disarmed Maillard, heid him and called for help, and tn a short time officer Albert Quinn, of the Fifth recinct, came to his assistance, and Maillard and ae victim were conveyed to the Fourth street station use, Police Surgeon Creamer was called in vo attend Wilson. He tound that he had been shot through the bridge of the nose, the ball lodging in a position that could not be reached by the probe. The suf- ferer was afterwards sent to his home by Captain Waglom. At a late hour last evening ne was still iusensible, and his death was looked for at any moment, CAUSE OF THE ASSAULT, Wilson being tnsensible, and his friend Benson knowing no reason for the tragedy, Maillard’s ver- sion of it is all that can be ascertained. He says that just as he passed out of the ferry gate Wilson the word, Kome velongs neither to U Italy, but to, Catholicity and Christi (Great appiause.) The King of Italy professes that he was com- pelled to enter Rome lest a revolution should unseat him, and acknowledges that he seized the property of the Church in deference to the clamors of the rabble. Does the promise of such a king guarantee peace to Kome or justice to the Romana? “But why,” we are asked, “does not the Pope ut an end to this vexatious question forever by surrendering ome, and take up his abode in peace elsewhere?” The an- awer is plain. Firat, the property of the Church has, for ages, been accumulating at Rome, and the Pope, as its high’ trustee, hus no right to abandon it to robbers. Sécond ly, if a vote ‘of the people may deprive him of, temporal power and the property of the Church in Rome, why may it not elsewhere? On the principle held by a certain class of men, if the Vope were to remove his Court to some uninbabited island, and in time the island should become populated, the inhabitants, what- ever thelr number, might sirip him of temporal powsr whenever they chose, The idea is absurd. It {s neither re- publ{canism, as we tnderstand it here, nor common sense ‘as ubderstood anywhere, If the docrine can be applied in Rome, in thi oe, it an be carried to any extent; de- mocracy and “communism” will be made synonymous, and @ vote of & family may depose the father from the head of his household. The world is not mad enough yet for the reception of such a doctrine. But 1 must not you. ‘Mou:be ago the leader of the Tiailan Cabinet announced that he would settle this question with the Catholic world. The Catholic world has spoken aince.

After the speeches the protest above gtven was unanimously adopted by a Dg 3 vote, and followed cheers, respectively, for the Pope, Bishop as and the President of the meeting. A motion for adjournment was acceded to, and the immense assemblage separated, MASSACHUSET?S SHOE BuSINESs.—The whole num- ber ef cases forwarded from Lynn peels the week ending January 5 was 1,970, against 2,252 for the cor- responait period of last year.

ANTECEDENTS OF THE MEN. George Wilson is a young man of twenty years, a moulder by occupation, employed in Jackson’s foundry, Twenty-e ghth street and Second avenue, New York. His reparation is good. He resided with his mother and step-father at No. 38 Washing- ton street, Greenpoint. Silvie Maillard 1s a Frenchman by birth, Puls fe nine years of age, and by occupation a cooper. He occupies two rooms alone at No. 23 Eckford street, Greenpoint, On making inquiry as to his character Captain Waglow heard nothing against him. ‘nis tragedy is no doubt the result of timidity—the hot-blooded Gaul probably imagining that the man whose life he has sacrificed was a robber having designs upon him; while it is possible that Wilson experienced a similar feeling towards him, Another argument against carrying pistois. BADNESS IN BROOKLYN. A Bold Thief Caught—Passing a Forged Check—Beaten and Left on the Streets. Officer Grogan, of the Third Precinct, captured a bold thief in Hicks street on Shturday aight. The accused, who gave his name as Gilered Gueberger, entered the apartments of John Kenney, at 308 Hicks street, and was about making off withan overcoat and some other articles, when Kenney, who was asleep in the room, awoke and seized him. A scufile then en- sued, when Kenney was knocked down and the ac- cused escaped to the street. The alarm was given and he was secured and locked up in the Third pre- cinct station house to await examination. A FORGED CHECK was passed on Saturday on Z, Story, who keeps a coal office at No. 35 Union sireet. A man, wno gave his name as _ John Lloyd, called at the office and ordered two tons of coal to be sent to 76 Smith street, Brooklyn, ten- dering in payment a check for twenty-five dollars, drawn on the Ninth National Bank of New York, purporting to be issued by John H. Graham to the order of Frank Lloyd. Before delivering the coal Mr, Story discovered that the check was a forgery. This man, Licy4d, it ts said, has passed several checks of the same kind, but has not as yet been arrested, BADLY BEATEN, Officer Paine atten o’clock yesterday morning found a man named Michael Rickard lying upon the sidewalk in Myrtle avenue and bleeding profusely from wounds on his head and face. When auestioned the man said he had been beaten by several parties; but he declined to give thelr names. He was re- moved tothe City Hospital by officer Smith. The in- jured man resides in Butler street, near Bond, CREAMER COMPLIMENTED, Grand Blow-Out in the Great Demecratic Stronghold—Earnest Predictions that the Tall Senator Will Succeed Himself. A most flattering compliment was tendered Sena- tor Creamer, in the shape of a reception, on Satur- day evening last, by the Tammany Association of the Seventeenth ward. The Association intended the reception as weil for Assemblymen J. Tyler Kelly and Christopher Fiecke; but, although these two gentlemen were duly complimentea and toasted, the affair settled into a first class expres- sion of the will of the ward that Senator Creamer should be unanimously nominated to succeed him- selfas Senatorial representative of the Sixth dis- trict. The reception was given at the rooms of the Association, No. 4 St. Mark’s place. The large hall Was handsomely decorated. At one end was a fine portrait of the Senator, surrounded py jets of gas, and three tables, set out with ail the delicacies of the season, extended the entire length of the room, ‘The guests began to arrive at about eight o'clock, andin @ short time the rooms were pretty well crowded. Among those present were County Clerk Loew, Surrogate Hutcaings, Court House Commis- sioners Walsh and Ingersoll, Tax Commissioner King, Fire Commissioner Hennessey, E. D. Bassford, Hd. Kearney, Alderman Eugene Durwin and the lions of the evening, Senator Creamer and Assemblymen Kelly and Fleck. Ex-Alderman John Reiily pre- sided, and in a short speech ttroduced Senator Creamer, who addressed the assemblage on the prospects of the party. The Senator pre- dicted that John T. Hoffman would be the next President. Speeches were made by County Clerk Loew, Assemblyman Kelly and others, all declaring that Mr. Creamer would certainly be re-elected. Grafulia’s band was present, and at the close of the festivities the party adjourned to the Senator’s resi- dence and honored him with a serenade, The entire affair was harmonious and enthusiastic.

Tha dourned uatil Monday o . 3g FINANCIAL AND COMMERG 4 le WALL STREET, SUNDAY, Jan. 8, 1571. THE GENERAL TRADE OF THE CITY during the past week was characterized by the general dulness usual at this season; but in many departments trade was better than anticipated even by the mogt sanguine merchants. In beginning the new year there is a healthy cautiousness observable which will do a great deal toward correcting any hazardous experiments and will place the opera- tions of 1871 ona sure foundation, Meantime the clamor for a reduction of the taxes and for a change in the governmental tinancial policy must pe heard by the present Congress, Any measure of re- lef will prove doubly beneficial, for the reason that as all our merchants are placing their busineas on such a footing as to be prepared for @ continuance of the old state of affairs, the change asked will, if granted, find them capable of fresh and vigorous efforts in their respective enter- prises. The great drain upon the profits of busi- ness occasioned by the insatiate desire of the gov- ernment to prepay its obligations has rendered the trade of 1870 comparatively unprofitable. England has alarger debt than the United States, yet her credit and her ability to raise fresh loans, should she need money for any sudden emergency, are unim- paired, despite the fact that there is no immense annual reduction of her national debt. It seems to be the impression with the United States Treasury oMicials that in order to place tho country in a position to undertake any mew war we should first be tree of dept. They act upon the theory that we are liable to get into war at any moment. Even allowing the soundness of the Policy that in time of peace we should prepare for War, does it not occurto the administration of the national Treasury that the means to that end is best secured by promoting the wealth and prosperity of the people? Our merchants should hold a mass meeting and make an emphatic demonstration in favor of @ reduction of the annual taxes to such an amount In the aggregate as shall just suffice for the Minimum expenses of the government and the re- demption of one per cent yearly of the national dept, IN WALL STREET the markets were unsettled and irregular, but toward the close exhibited more steadiness, At the Stock Exchange the operators for a decline persevered In their movement for lower prices. The advent of a period when an easy money market may be reasonably counted upon had much to do with checking their plans, and while strong individual buyers were dealers the situation encouraged a re vival of interest on the part of the heavier clique speculators and imauced the formation of fresh movements on the bull side, The limes are as yet im a chaotic state, but the ele- ments are slowly knitting together again, and the spring campaign bids fair to be an active one, particularly if the ‘bears’’ hold out in their specu- lation, The course of prices was, under <hese cir- cumstances, vascillating and the market feverish. Taking the general range of prices we find, how- ever, a large advance upon the lowest prices in De- cember, when, as we anticipated, the speculators for adecline struck “hard-pan.” Northwest common was then 67; Northwest preferred, 79% ; Lake Shore, 9035,; New York Central, 89%; New York Central Scrip, 83%; Rock Island, 102%; Reading, 9614; Ono and Mississippi, ,26%,,.and Wabash, 47%. The only exception to the reaction is St. Paul, which maintained its downward course from special circumstances of inherent weakness, arising out of the passage of a cash dividena, the issue of a scrip dividend and the proposed issue of new stock. The decline of the market tothe points above enume- rated was the result of a purely speculative move- ment, brilliant and daring it is true, for its failure would have cost its authors enormous losses, if not occasioned their bankruptey. They had the good luck of taking hold when there was a pause in the public mind, and when capital was cautious against the contingences of # stringent money market. In fact they had to produce an extraordinary arti- ficial tightness in money in order to overcome the obstinacy of the stock market. Having re- duced prices to figures which from their relative cheapness attract cayltalists generally we find a gradually rising market, disguised as its features may be from day to day by the alternate weakness and strength with which the cliques clothe it in order to enable them to anticipate the Purchases of the public. The government bond market was strong and higher, with a buoyant tone at the ciose. The State bonds were unsettled and weak owing to @ default in the payment of the coin interest on the Alabama railroad eight per cents, but shared in the general reaction towards the close of the week. ‘The money market steadily relaxed from gold interest at the beginning to six per cent at three o'clock on Saturday. THE BANK STATEMENT. The weekly statement of the associated banks is extremely favorable, and shows some extraordinary changes. The payment of coin interest by the gov- ernment and by numerous State and railway corpo- rations 1s reflected tn an increase of over five and a half millions of specie, while the return of legal tenders to the banks by the Wall street cliques and the purchase of government bonds by the Treasury Department have occasioned a rise of three and three-quarter millions in the legal tender average. The flow of money to this cen- tre from the rural districts which usually commences at this season, an increase of two mil- lions in loans and the above items of specie and legal tenders swell the deposits of the banks by an increase of nearly fourteen millions of dollars, The statement compares with its predecessor as follows:— ‘ Dec. 31.
