They made the voyage on the steamship Pereire, of the Frenen line, which entered the Lower Bay at about six o’clock yesterday morn- ing, but did not pass the Quarantine station until alten ten o'clock A.M. This delay was the re- ‘ sult of AN AGREEM made with the officers of the steamship company before the Pereire left tue other side of the Atlan- uc.

Witn this gonfalon » floating merrily in the breeze, they sailed to de- Mght the eyes of their coming guests, They ar- rived at the Peiierc at about ten o’clock, and ina few moments bad transferred the Papal Ambassa- Gore ‘rom that vessels to their own, AS soon as the entire party were assembled in the sunlight under the immaculate Papal banner, Major John D. Seiley, Jr., read the following address of wel- comé, Which he specialy addressed to Mgr. Boncettl:— ADDRESS OF MAJOR KEILY. MONSIGNOR—As President and in the name of Bt.

While this fpeechmaking was continuing the SWiit little stexgier Was going from the Quarantine up tue bay andthe East River. When Thirtieth street Was reqlied the vessel was turned and she Went down the Kast River again, around Govern- or’s Isiand aad up the tMudson, The wonderful characver of the day induced the party to proiong theif journeying ulong the river ways in this vicinity. Atl around was reireshing lifo and movement, On board the steamer Henry Smith human nature wes in a joyous mood, but it would scaréely have been in gloom if the day were of the most cheerless character. The steamer Wextup tne fludson to where tne mottled brown and green palisades begin to lave their giant feet, and then we steered back again over to the foot of Wess Twenty-fourth street, ‘tho ambassadors several times almost involuntarily wave vent to their admiratin at all this dine scenery. THE PARTY LANDS, Here the party disembar«ed, and found a num- ber of carriages waiting to take them to Cardinal MecCloskey’s house, in Madison avenue, Three of tue carriages Were sent by the Cardinal, in ovserv- ance of some special rule of etiquette, to convey the Papal mubassadors—one carriage for each. Arrived at the Cardinal’s house and the process of introdaction ended, " ME. CHARLES O’'CONGR, at the req@est of some of the gentlemen, made a pretty utile speech, during which he said:— “On this day of singular beauty in the atmos- ohere, and of still greater beauty in the estima pon of the Catholics oi New York, it is among the “olcest pleasures, on the part of the members of Michael’s Society and of their guests, to ye ose the health, frosperity and long life of Newy Cardinal Archbishop of New York.” Jerse REPLY OF THE CARP™YAT doors Cardinal seemed to be gre rk, Rents expressed by Mr. O wioved by the . or, said how men of whom he is the spokesman.’ THY COMMITES RETIRI:. After these ceremonies had been gone through With pleasantly and to the satisiact‘on o. every- body, a slight retresnment was party . of at the Cardinal’s house. The committee retired, having previously received tne thanks of the Papal Com- missioners for weir kindness aud attendance, Being left alone as the guests of the Cardinal, he saw how fatigued they were by thelr many ‘a- ugnues on land and water, and invited them to their rooms, which are situated en suite on tne first floor of the house in Madieon ave- nue, They then retired tor some time and took a refreshing rest, In the meantime several priests called, among them Vicar General Quinn and Father Preston, besides a number of other priests more or less prominent, and ail in- terested in the arrival of the ambassadors. They were aii received quietly and without parade or ostentation, aud were introduced in due time to the distinguished guests. At six o’clock dinner was partaken of, aud Cardinal McCloskey sat at the head of his table, naving on his rignt Mgr. Roncetti and on his leit Count Marefoschi, There wero FEW GUESTS and none of the parade of a state occasion. The evening was devoted to quietly chatting and dis- cussing the affairs of the Church and the world in general, noW and then a friend calling in to ada his Measure of wespitality to the gen-ral greet- ing of the Uathoiles of New York, und, indeec, of America. The guests, even bad not Cardinal MeCloskey's views been known, were opposed to ony ceremony, and they were gratified in their wish, The Papal ambassadors retired to their rooms atan early hour. To-day the decision will be ar- rived at a8 to the public ceremony of the conier- ring of tne dignity of cardinal upon the Arcn- bishop, It will probably iake place some time during the latter part of the month. In the hurry and peculiar manner of the disem- barkation of the Papal Commissioners none of thelr bagaage Was taken off the Pereire, and con- quentiy THE NOW FAMOUS BERRETINA ROSA and the other insignia of the Cardinal's oMce wil be leit on board, in trusty hands, however. The | boxes containing these have no: yet been opened, Count Mare/oschi has in charge the Papal letter, the skull cap, and Mgr. Roncetti to berretta, This latter is simply in the iorm of the usual fours | cornered hat worn by the priesthood ut certain portions of the celeoration of high mass, except- ing that while in the case of priests it is blac in the cese of bishops purple, in the case ofa curdinalit is red. The skullcap is | aiso of the same color, a8 well ag the robes of the new dignity. It is intended as a high compliment } tothe man and to the ccuntry that a monsignor— | that is (0 say, one ranking with a bishop and at- | tended by a priest—shouid be the carrier of these insignia, a3 any messenger would, for the simple | tact of delivery, have done equally well. But tue | Pope evidentiy wished to show that as he had conferred the dignity upon America, it should be done ing properand novle manner, and this is | the reason o/ these special high envoys.

The world, polite or Parliamentary, or both, has j dispersed for the Euster recess to tae tour quarters | ofheaven. We have just possed that day wuich ls in London nine parts a popular curnival and one part an ecclesiastical fast, and Iam now writiag on the eve of what 1 suppose may be called the great religious iestivalo! the year, It occurs to me thata sketch of the theological situation in this favored land of plety may be botu seasonable and instructive, RELIGION AND POLITICS. During the winter months it was generally an, ticipated that we should have @n ecclesiastical session. The newspapers, daily and weekly, de plored the prominence which the Church and its affairs would have accorded to them in the national | comments at Westminster, and the whole race of English clergymen, to whom the love of contro- versy and notoriety is @ natural imstinet, were jubilantly discounting the results of the coming fray. These expectations rested upon no beter basis than the promise gtven by Mr. Russell Gur- ney, after the passing of the Public Worship Regu- lation act last year, to Mr. R. Lowe—who has long been inspired by apute ana periecs hatred of everything in the way of a clerical combat—that he would latroduce in 1875 @ measure dealing with ecclesiastical offences against doctrine and mor- als, even as the act of 1874 took cognizance of offences against the ritual laws of the Book of Common Prayer. Had Mr. Gurney fulfilled his | promise Mr, Disraeli Would have been bound to make the matter one of government importance, and would have embraced a responsibility of @ troublesome nature. Tie Public Wor- ship bill suficienuy strained the party allegiance and Ministerial unity. The Cabinet, like the House of Comions, contains init some members who are at heart mdiferent to the Chureb of England and all concerping her; contains Others who are bent upon applying to her the most drastic principles ot the Bismarck! an régime, and otvers again who are in favor ol she pretensions of sacerdotalisa. SACENDOTALISM, Now Mr. Russell Gurney’s bill of this year, bad he brought it forward, like the bill of ta: ear would have been directly aimed at sacerdotanam, and it peen followed not merely by a Parhamentary row royal, but by & Ministerial split, As it is the reace uonary element im the Cavinet right which would iike to institute a tory poli of the old traditional kind, and which at heart thoroughly detests the previous and democratic conservausm of Mr, Disraelithe element composed of such men a3 Lord Salisbury, Lord Carnarvon and Mr. Gathorne Hardy— 18 Mm @ state of veiled rebellion against what I may cull the constitutional rationalism of Sir Statford Northcote, ivao borrowed tis politi- cal position from Peel and bis financial posiuon from Gladstone and of Mr. Disraeli, whose pubic creed is that of his own, The decision, therefore, Was taken some montis ago of nov attempting any ecclesiastical legislation im the session of 1875, The primate, Dr. Tait, preparea the pubiic mind for the disappointment by announcing that as Convocation meets this year nhusually late he did not quite see how the ecclesiastical bills of | which peopie talked coulda be introduced. ‘this, of course, Was merely an excuse, ior Couvo- cation is @ body which Basas mace to do with English legislation as tue Geographical Society or the Koyal Academy of Arts. ME. LOWE AND TUE OPPOSITION. If the goverumont propuses the opposition and the House in general tave a goou deal w do wie the disposing of events. Mr. Lowe, who is a kind Ol Parliamentary Mother Carey's chicken, anu de- lights above aul things i political miscttef, is not | melined to let the government otf a0 eas- ily. He roundly telis mis iriends--who, I May state, in view Of Lord Hartiogton'’s proved Imcapactty for his post, are nut ualikely us no distant date to become bis fodowers—that he intends to exXac: irom Mr. Disraeli and Mr. Russe.i | Gurney the fulfilment of the piedge on tie | strength of whic be voted for the Clerical Mees- | ing bill of last year, as the Public Worsbip act ous been appropriately caled.
