Vizawa, Nov, 9, 1876 No state in Rurope, not even exeepting Turkey, has s0 dificult a part to play in the solution of the Kasteru | question as Austria, or Avustro-Slavonia-Hungary. | Tarkey’s courso has hitherto been made quite easy for her by Russia; she had to accept the inevitaple in the shape of the Czar's’ dictum, of which she became so enamoured that she had at one time some thoughts of cutting off all discussion with her so-called triends and sending her Grand Vizier to Livadia in order to make the best terms she could with ber hereditary too, But Aw ia has not been as yet compelled to accept ble; consequently her component parts are gerheads, aud the Eastern question, thoueh:not | likely to produce rebellhon, bas euiled forth a vast amount of potitical animosity within the bounds of the | Empire that is usually allowed to slumber, The parties i the Austrian & as they have declared thomsetves 1n tho E: ion, are, largely taken, three in numb) me FS IN THE AUSTRIAN EMPIRE, There are, tirst, the Court party ond the German aristocracy; second, the Magyars represented by Count Andrassy; thirdly, the Slavs of all grades, whether Czechs, Croatians, Poles, Slovaks, or what- ever names they have, Strange to say, the Slavs and the Germans are just now agreed in their hostility to Turkey; the Hun arlans are very demonstrative | in their hatred of , and the Court purty, while | anxious to please all the nationalities of the empire, tnd with perbaps cowtorting memories of agreements made attho blessed al.iance of the three kalsers, is very anxious to support Bassi, And thus, instead of allowing the Czar to get all the plunder, to be | permitted to come in for ashare of whatever spoils | there may eventually be, But the Slavs and the | Court do not support Russia for the samo reason, The | Court hopes by keeping friendly with Rassia to in- crouse the number and extent of her Slavie provinces, The Slavs, on the other hand, are anxious to seo | their Slavic brethren of Serviaand Bosnia mado in- dependent; they have dreams about the great Slavic mipire o! the future, of which they too might bo en- ed to form a part. THE POSITION OF HUNGARY. But Hangary loves neitber the German nor the Slav— the latter least of all—and of course can net allow an the Slavonic element in tho Austrian Em. | increage of pire, however much this might please the ambition of the house of Hapsburg. If | ever there was nation divided against it- self, aud consequentty rendered almost inea- pable of doing anything at all, it is the Empire on the Danube. And besides being divided in itself, | Austria is compelled, before taking any decisive steps, to consider what Princo Bismarck thinks of the mat- ter. To goin for Russia would estrango the Magyars | from the Empire; to go against Russia would be | dangerous both trom the Btsmarckian and Slavonian pointe of view. Hitherto, Austria’s policy bas never been well deflucd; and it is very likely that it will not be im tho future, though she will watch her opportunity to reap as much benefit as possible at the least cost to herself. Should Andrassy resign, which is certain im case the Russian party gets the upper hand, his successor, Barou Hofftnann, will not be ablo to tnangurate a more detinite poley, except in so far that ho will be simply the expression of the imperial views and wis!

ARCTIC EXPLORATION. THE WAY TO THE NORTH POLE—OPINION OF A HULL WHALING CAPTAIN. Captain Wells, who was ior many years connected with the Hull whaling fleet, writes to the Kustern Morning News as follows:—"'The most powerful expe- dition ever sent on Arctic uiscovery bas just returned unsuccessful, and, to my tind, no wonder, They |, thete is no doubt, and have succeeded in accomplishing one ot the most import- ant parts of their duty—namely, to secure a safe and early return without patting the country to the anx. lety and expense of sending a searching expedition to look tor and, if necessary, to bring thei home, ‘Thirty-six years? experience in the Arctic seas, how- ever, convinces me that the Pole is accessible, and will ere long be reached, but not by the way ot Bailin’s Batlin’s Bay, or Davia Straits, is well known to be ao long arm of the sea stretching for several hundreds of miles {rom the Atlantic, and for cight months of the year nearly to- tally covercd with ice; thence Smith's Sound, com- mencing at the extreme head of Ballin’s Bay, runs channel, with bigh mouptaiuoue coasts, thus render- | ing it utterly impossible for the ice in the unknown space ever 10 be reached or aflected by uvy swell or other action of the sea likely to cause its dleruption, and the only known decaying effect must be trom the se und fall of the tides and the action of a very brief mers sun, Hence the impossibility of finding a passage through it or even getting over it, 1n conse- | quence of its substance and bigh rugged suriace, So wnuch for the ite the late expedition has been in- structed to follow, 1 will now try to poiut out a tar | moro likely way, and give mny reasons, The north end of Spttzbergen, in Greenland, which hes | m latitude 80 degrees north, and is therefore only 600 miles from the Pole, is easily reached has often happened that SI deg, 30 sec., and I believe, has beca reached | when searching for whales, thas reducing the distance from the sup to the Pole to 480 miles, and this, it must be remembered, 18 without making apy eflort at Now, looking at the map or chart in this rupted roll of swell runs up from the Alldntic for the I myself when aboy on board the Avram, of Hull, was ouce in lati- de 81 degrees north in the month of April, and it 1s well known that the average daily drift of a ship when beset in the pack is from :en to twelve miles southeriy, varying according to the winds, thus proving that the tee in Jatitude $4 degrees in April, if surviving at all, is in jatitude 66 degrees by the end of July, which is an average drift of ten miles daily tor three or ninety days.

The crew numbered altogether thirty-two scamen, During our run for New York, and while on the high seus, we were chased by the Spanish man-of-war Herman Cor. tez, captured and towed as a prize into the harbor of San Juan, Porto Rico, The Cuptaip, bis wife, Purser Holland and bis two children, the first engineer and two others, were all put under restraint as prisoners, but not locked up in the forts. Twenty-three persons of the remaining por- tion of the crew, including myself, were ali putiuto tho fortifications and informed by the officers there that we were to bo sbot the same night as pirates, lrou handoutts were put on our wrists and our arms were pinioned behind our backs. J suffered tne moat excruciating pains from the pressure of tho iron, and the circulanon of the blood in both arms almosteutirely ceased. My hands became swollen, and my aring still bear the marks o: two red circles stamped on them by the irons which I wore, Itwas finally resolved nut to shoot us, and through the en- ergetic remonstrances of Captain Paoli, the British Consul, our irons were removed, The Consul lost uo time im telegraphing to Kingston, requesting tue pros. | ence of a man-ot-war at Sap Juag, wuere we were im- prisoned, In responso to the request the British au- thorities sent out the Eclipse, aad this Vessel, through the r tuke nearly everybody away. Captain Waizman re- mained, however, to lvok atter hw ship, and his wile remained with him, THR VicTINS, I had with mo my naturalization papers as an Ameri- can citizen, but they Were of no use to me, and) was Jest behind 1m San Jtam altor my shipmates had becn released and bad saied trom Porto Rico. Two other companions in adversity, Whose nataes were Manuel Guturrez, ef Havana, and Victor Soto, of Sautiago de Cuba, were incarcerated with me. They were neither American citizens nor Briush subjects, We mude up our minds alter the departure of the Kelipse that we should never leave the prison alive wud that possibly we might suifer death by the serri- blo ordeal of starvation. I confess to feeling hurt that the American Consul bad been able to effect not: ing in my behalf, much less to procure my release, the British Consul bud done tor his fellow subjects. The American Consul was kind in seoding me uewe- papers, views of the Censenuwal Exhibition and Iriendly inessages, asking me to keep my courage up. The British Consul sent us cheese, a Yorkshire ham, papers and told us not to give up hope. When we had been some time in the Morro tort we were taken to the chapel, as is the custom to do with crim- | ‘uals who are under the sentence of death, in order tbat they may have the beuelit of Church rites. The Governor of the fort then asked us to coufess that (1!

But the worst was yet to come. We were | taken down to the bottom of the Morro fort, down 116 steps, ncara water batiery, where the placo wassodamp | that our boots becaine mouldy within a few hours, While here some of our keepers were kind tous and others acted very ssultingly. Down in these coid, miserable quurters we became sick. Our lodgings Were immouiately behind the place where the cannon which was named the Orivas way mounted. Here it was our fate to live three months of tortare, RELEASED BY A FORKIGN CONSUL, In the first days of October, alter having been about six months im prison, with the marks of Spanish tet- ters apon our limbs, the Briush Comsui (not the American, note you) caused our release and sent us toa boarding house, On the 13th of October ho gave 8 $25, embarked uson the English steamer Corsica for st.

FATHER PRES- | TON, V. G. | Notwithstanding the extremely unpropitious weather last evening Union Hall of the Cooper Institute was crowded to hear the Very Rev. Father Preston, V. G., on the subject of ‘Education and Religion.’ The | reverend gantieman spoke entirely without notes, and his arguments were principally directed against the separation of religion and education on account of the deworalizing influences caused by such separation, ‘The speaker of the evening was imtroduced by Father Kane, of tho Cathedral. The chairman, in tbe | remarks, spoke of the objecis of tue Young Men’s Cathelic Association of the city of New York. They were to band the young men together in virtuous and wholesome amusement, and deserved the support of alltrue Catholics, In speaking of the future genera- tions the chairman said that upon the young men of the country, especially the Catholic young men, de- pended the welfare of the great Repudhic, Father Preston commenced his address with acom- pliment to the Catholic societies present. Tnero were two great characteristics of Catholic literary societies, | reverence for religion and faith in God. Our religion, said the speaker, 1# a power that no focs or devils can overthrow. (Applause) Retigion and educction should ever go hand ijn band and never be separated. Alttem now being made to separate these, and ould they succeed the speak: predicted the effect as disastrous to the natiou. Religion ts toe exercise of those virtues by which man uadoresand serves God, the brighiest, doarest, noblest faculties of toe human soul. Tho Christian retigion ts the on ligton that deserves the name, founded upon the rovein- } won of the Redeemer, the religion that bows down be- fore Hin. Education is drawing out and developing the natural | faculties of man; it best prepares him tor the ead that | God bas tntended for him, Reason teaches that the soul ts immortal the natural deduction of reason. How shalt fucuities be fed without God and the beams thi from Him. The truths given us by God are the tood for the faculties, His revelations, His love and kind- ness. Reason tells us our highest end is to ‘ and it heretore, to attempt to’ instruct t 18 not s0, ‘The tool hath raid in his heart, there is no God.’ Said the speaker, it is this growimg scepticism that ig the first reason for the separation of education and religion. There are men who have iudividual religions, they put them beiore everythin: there are men who waste themselves on hoofs of horses, the tails of insects and forget | the God who ‘gavo them breath. (Applause.) In all ages up to the prosent timo reilzion and educa- tion have been united, Religious guides have been the teachers and instructors of the people. The Catholic | Church has the merit of consistency even in the | mouths of ber adversaries, | ‘The speaker at this point quoted several noo-catholic | authors aud historians as to the establishinent of | schools by the Catholic Church. Otber sects, said the speaker, still contine paro-~ chial schools even in this country. Particularly is this so in Prussia—a country m many ways opposed to our holy reiigion. ‘The speaker then read from the decisions of the Church in favor of ths two, education and religion, Catholics, said the speaker, must bi Neve that there can be no separation of religion education. The s; r read a letter from }ius 1X., one writien by Martin Luther, and quoted several American authorities of tho present day as power. ful arguments for the unity of tne two, ‘Ainid great applause the reverond speaker quoted from a letier of George Washington, in which he stated that | morality could not exist apart from religion. ‘Would God.” said the speaker, ‘that we had more such men as George Washington.” (Applause) ‘Would God that some of our mugistrates were imbucd with his | spirit.’ (Applaus | ‘The speaker fu ) nh spoke at length and very clo- quently sults of the atiempt to establish a purely “secular education,’’ to which the reverend father was determinedly opposed. In speaking vf tho evil influences of secular education the lecturer said | that 1t was taking thousands of children away trom the Catholic Church and making iniidels of ther. ‘There are sins, satd Father Preston, that cry to God, and secular edncation is the cause of these sins, Na- tions may steal and swindle because ire Dations, Are there not, said the speaker, hints of fraud thrown very near the highert authority in our land— (appiause)—stains even upon our tribunals of justice ? Wo desire simply to practiso our religion, and we defy avy man to question vur love for our country. (Prolongot applause, ) Wo ask only to practise our religion, and our religion cannot and will not consent to a separation of religion and education, As lar as our children are concerned, wo must teach them with the secular education the tenets of our great religion. We are not opposed tothe common schools for our Protestant iriends, but ‘or us we must have schools in which our children shall be taught the mysteries ot our Churob. Thig,is a tree ir we use them r not. There are but two ways to get over this = difficaity—that 1s, divide among all sects the school money and let denominational scuools exist under proper government supervision, {n relation to the constitutional amendment prevent- ing public funds from passing to any Institutions of a religtous characier, the reverend gentleman said that the amendment seemed to be directed toward tho Cath- ohe Chareh, and she did not deserve such treatment at the hands ot her countrymen. The speaker closed with an eloquent appeal toa! Catholics to be true to thoir country, their God and their religion, ELEVATING THE MASSES—THE SUBJECT CONSID- ERED BY PROFESSOR FELIX ADLER YESTER- Day. Standard Hall was crowded yesterday morping, as usual, to listen to the weekly lecture of Professor Adier, in his treatment of the above subject he be- gan as follows:;—Who aro the masses? Whom do we dosiro to elevate? We have an indistinct notion of a tion of the world from ourselves. We have a false conception of theso people, Betwoen the bigher classes of society and the slums and drudges there is | an abundant belt of humapity whose quict and un- | eventtul lives attract no attention {roi the daily press. Of these we spcak to-day; of these we com- priso the masses; of these we expect recopstruction and further onlighteament. We are always beset with | great difficulties and opposition when we contemplate important and radical changes. Tboro ere a set of sceptics who declare against great reform movomonts, who tell us to act prudeatly ourselves and secure our Let the its own transformations. Such arguments arc fundamentally wrong. It is time we wore rid of the tyrannical oppressivn of such precepts, We have periormed great und good resoiucions tn our past history, We have abolished the teu ial omnipotence of the rich | over the poor; wo have freed tbo slaves from the des- world take care of the evils of to-day if sterling spirit and indomitable purpose attend our efforts, How, thon, shall the work be commenced iow can the lower classes be raised and eulightones Itis the thing of all others moat important, and upon which the fate of society and of liberalism in America depends.

We need to establish a general principle of moral education tor our guidance. How to correct faults is no easy ques- tion. Tho speaker proceeded to illustrate how much e: ft was fet a per-oa to say pleasant things to bu ence than to discuss (herr failiogs. He said:—Euner you Must cojolo and faiter your hearers, and then Tarewell to honor, dignity and trath, or you: must be candid and give offence.

P Last evening, tor the benefit of the poor of the pap ish, there was gatbered at St. Bernard's church # large and inquigitive congregation to listen to the story of Rev. B. W. Whitchor, as to how and why he changed trom Protestantism to Catholicism. When the prel:minaries had been cared for the orator of the evening was introduced by Father Healy, aud ine straightforward way began bis parfative of bis expe- riences on the road from Protestantism to Catholl- cism, He said the peculiar tenets of John Calv: wore the first religious systems with which he bad to grapple, Jt was in that religion that be was born of most strict, exemplary, and, he cduid truthfully add, pious parents, During all of their lives bis parents, ‘celing in duty to him bound, instructed him iu all the gloomy horrors of that creed, From his earhest iuiancy be was in- structed i all its tenets, He had committed to mom- ory all the shorter and a great part of the larger catechism before he had arrived at sufficient ago to understand the meaning of any ono of the five fundus ol which that system ts composed, outolic creed or not he If bo learned it at all m have been committed to memory so many lines to be repeated of a Sunday afternoon, without aay reterence to its meaning or its value, It formed no part uf his religious education in childhood. But with the Lord’s Prayer ut was very different. That Prayer his mother taugut bim belore he c Tr O- nounce the words of which it was composed. TI he considered, w: the grontest blessing confel ‘upon his infancy, for it kept him from sin, or when be did fail in bis daty, taught him to correct himself, He then entered fully upon a consideration of Fis catechism, and developed, so far as his o mind was concerned, its cruel abstruseness, He then entered upon the earher disturb. ances of his mind, occasioned by the regious disputes he heard. Ho then, in hie ogress toward Catholicism, took the story of St. Patrick and the snakes in [reland into carelul consider. ation, and proceded to make @ creed for himself, While struggling to form a creed he passed through nearly allof the well-known forms, High Church and Low Chureh, Oxford tracts and all, and came to the point of enthusiasm which led bim to try to convert « papist, Ho failed, and the one he strove to convert converted him, Passing then to « consideration of the various beliels as shown in the theological seminaries, he came, nally, to looking for facts, and found that he must ether adopt Catholicity or have po gion, It wos then thata friend showed him the way tothe cross and how to put onthat yoke which binds the faitutul im bonds of love. Thanktuliy he kneit to ro- ceive that yoke, and us he knelt he wept; but they were tears of joy, that afier so much anxicty and so much toil he bua at last found bis Saviour aod his God und peaco and rest in the bosom of the one holy jho- te Church.
