Naval and Military Intelligence. Her Majesty's unartnoured screw steamer Myr midon, having had some portions of her machinery readjusted and her boilers cleaned out, was yester day taken from Chatham harbour to the measured mile, Mapliu Sandi, for some fnrther trials to test ber steaming qualities and her rate of speed. The vessel was in charge of Capt. the lion. A. A. Cochrane, of the Cumberland, 24, guardship of the steam reserve, the other officials on board being Mr. W. Eames, assist.-inspector of machinery afloat at Chatham ; Mr. Owen, acting inspector of machinery; Mr. llutchens, assist.-master shipwright ; and Mr. S. Matthews, chief engineer of the ship. The en gines were again in charge of Mr. Humphrys, of the firm of Humphrys and Tennant, the contractors of the machinery. The weather was favourable for the trial, the sea being smooth, with the wind nearly a calm. The ship's draught of water was 1 lfr. Bin. aft, and 10ft. Sin. forward. With six runs over the measured mile, the mean average speed rea lised was 10.338 knots per hour, or rather more than a third of an knot per hour than ou the occa sion of her former trial. The maximum number of revolutions of the screw per minute was 110 i, and the minimum, 102 ; load on the safety-valve, 22.41 b. ; mean pressure in cylinders, 20.031 b.; vacuum, 27in. ; mean pressure of steam in boilers, 201 b. The screw, an ordinary Griffith's propeller, was set at a pitch of 13ft. 101 in., the im mersion of the upper edge being 12in. At half boiler power the mean speed realized was 8.335 knots per hour. The complete circle was made, at full power, in 4min. 44sec. During the trial yes terday the machinery worked in a highly satisfac tory manner, there being an entire absence of hot bearings, and an absence of priming of the boilers. The indicator cards showed that the collective horse pawer of the engines during the trial was 778.64. At the close of the trial the Myrmidon returned to harbour to await orders from the Admiralty. The arrangements for lifting the screw of the Myrmidon have been fitted on Mr. Eames's principle, the trial made yesterday at the close of the speed runs being attended with very satisfactory results. The Isabella Hurcas, freight ship, with a part cargo of war stores for Bermuda, yesterday re ceived 159 tons of wrought-iron shields, and other supplies from Woolwich, in the West India Docks, and is now ready for sea. The following is the programme of the course of lectures to be delivered to the officers and men of the Royal Engineers, at headquarters, Chatham, during the autumn session :—Oct. 21, 24, and 28, on " Hygiene," by Dr. de Chaumont, Assist.-Pro fessor of Hygiene, Netley ; Oct. 31, Nov. 7 and 14, on the " Properties and Characteristics of Different Kinds of Timbers," by Mr. T. Laslett, timber in spector, Woolwich dockyard ; Nov. 4, 11, 18, and 25, Dec. 2 and 9, on " Building Materials," by Professor Abel, F.R.S. ; Nov. 28, Dec. 5 and 15, on " Mining Engineering," by Professor Warring ton Smyth, F.R.S. The lectures will commence each day at 5.30 p.m. A portion of the military gymnasium at Chatham garrison has been closed to the officers and troops for some weeks past, to allow of some important improvements and alterations in the arrangements being carried out, the whole of which have been effected under the personal superintendence of Mr. Maclaren, of Oxford, director of military gymnastics. The fittings and apparatus have been readjusted, and in place of the former temporary tan and saw dust floor, an entirely new one, which is soft and elastic, has been substituted. It is composed of thick layers of an elastic material, covered with stout, close canvas, made expressly for the purpose, giving at once a convenient and safe surface for the exercise of various gymnastic exercises. Floors of the kind just completed at the Chatham gymnasium have been under trial for some time at other estab lishments, and being found to answer in all respects, they will be at once laid down at the other military gymnasia. The following appointments were made on Friday at the Admiralty :—Capt. Edward K. Barnard, of the Constance, to the Formidable, additional, for service in the Trafalgar ; Commander 11. B. John stone to the Myrmidon, commissioned ; Lieut. J. Shortt to the Oberon, vice Hand, promoted ; Navi gating Sub-Lieat. A. J. d,3 Vismes to the Victory, as supernumerary ; C. F. Jordan, chief engineer, additional, to the Asia, for charge of the engines of the Daniic ; Dr. J. Henderson, Staff-surg., to the Excellent ; J. G. Clarke, assist.-surg., to the Im pregnable, additional, for service in the Squirrel ; and E. 11. Whiddon, assist.-paymaster, to the Royal Adelaide. THE YORKSHIRE WOW IN VESTIGA- TIONS. - ~-- -- - During the week the Rev. Canon Grecnwell and the distinguished arcl•aeologists who accompanied him have opened a large barrow on the Potter Brompton Wold, on Sir Charles Legard's estates, showing a mixture of the inhumed and cremated modes of burial in use by the Britons. The skulls obtained show the burials to be those of a vet./ early people, who appear to have known nothing of metals, for no trace of aught but flint or bone implements has been found. The bodies were very numerous, and interred in all imaginary positions, the one fea ture appertaining to all being the practice of doub ling up the body into the least possible space by drawing the knees up to the elbows. The tumulus contained the remains of several adults of both sexes, and of several children, and mostly interred with pottery and flint implements. Of these latter on the western side of the barrow, unassociated with a burial, were upwards of 100 in one deposit. Some of these were well-made and beautifully chipped scrapers, but a large majority were the flakings of flint from the core, as if prepared for the chip ping into form, but which had not been fabri cated into worked implements. This was a dis covery totally unusual, and it is a difficult matter to say why so large a deposit of flints should have been made in one particular place. In a few years they would have been scattered by the plough ; and the human remains in the tumulus were some of them so near the top that continued cultiva tion must also have very soon dispersed them over the land. The details of the opening show results of curious interest. The tumulus was 60ft. diameter, and reduced to 3ft. in height, and was formed of large flints and chalk rubble. About 2ft. above the natural surface, and 7ft. S.E. of the centre was the body (1) of a young person, laid on the left side, with the head to the east and the hands on the knees. At the crown of the head was a prettily ornamented flower-pot-shaped urn, the ornament on the upper portion being of alternate bands of horizontal and zigzag thong markings. Over the skull and the urn were two large blocks of flint for protection. About 3ft. east of this body and lift. east of the centre, but on the same level, was an imperfectly burnt body (2), with blocks of chalk and flintstones carefully placed above it. Just east of this burnt body was the body (3) of a child, laid on the left side, with the head to N.N.E., with right hand on the knees and the left under the face. Below these, in a grave (of which these occupied the upper part) 2lft. deep and sift. diameter, was a body (4) on the left side, the head to the east, and the hand up to the head, and knees drawn up. Behind the skull was a " drinking cup," and below it a flint knife, Sin. in length, and finely and care fully chipped into form. A great deal of charcoal surrounded this body. Eight feet south of the centre was a body (5) on the right side, 2ft. fruit tie 5 , . - rfaeo, in a shallow grave. The heal was to the S.E. The left hand was to the face, and the iglit on the knees, which were drawn up. Before Ili.; face was an urn Sin. high, ornamented with horizontal thong impressions. The head and urn were protected by large stones. Sixteen feet S.S.W. of the centre was the bsily of a female (G) on the right side, with the head to the S.W. and hands up to the face. This was in a shallow grave only aft. deep, and was surrounded with much charcoal. The central grave was Bft. by Gft. Gin., and 3ft. deep. Iu it was a body (7) on the left side, with the head to the east, and touching the eastern side of the grave. The left hand was up to the face. Be fore the head was an urn Bin. high, ornamented iu the upper part with four lines of punctured holes. At the other end of the grave was the body (8) of a young person on the right side, with head to the N.W., the hands up,to the face, and the knees up. The head of this body was just west of the feet of the last. Upon the knees was a very beautiful leaf shaped flint arrow point. Fifteen feet F.N.E. of centre the most remarkable discovery was made. Two bodies (9 and 10), male and female, were found interred together, face to face—the skulls touching indeed. The heads were to the S.E. The woman lay on her right side, with her hands and knees drawn up, and the man lay on his left side, with his head upon the woman's hands, and the femurs across those of the female. The left hand of the male was down by his side, and the right arm was extended at right angles from the elbow towards the female skeleton. Between the bodies—above the drawn-up knees of both—were two very pretty and peculiar small urns, ornamented on the rims and in the sinuses with herring-bone work, and both having lids, with central handles ornamented in four com partments with double lines of punctured holes, the edges being also punctured. These were very re markable and quite unique. One urn was beauti fully perfect, and one lid was obtained sufficiently so to allow of drawings being made. It is not known that any previous find of funeral urns with lids has been recorded. With one urn was a split boar's tusk, ground into a sickle-shaped cutting instrument. These two bodies were interred on the level of the natural surface, but 2ift. above the bottom of a large grave. Eleven feet N.N.E. of the centre in the grave (or trench) named was the body (11) of a young child with the head to the west, and 12ft. N.N.E. of the centre was another body (12) of a child, about three years old, behind the head of which was an ornate drinking cup. These bodies were just to the west of the two (9 and 10),but 2ft. below them. Twenty-one feet E.N.E. of the centre was the body (13) of a very young child, with head to E.N.E., in a shallow grave sunk in the bottom of the irregular trench, which it was found ran E.N.E. to W.S.W., from about Bft. E.N.E. of centre to 23ft. distance. It was in this trench the three last-named burials of children were made. The trench was about sft. wide. The disposition of the bodies in this hone and their various levels show the burials to have been made at different times, except in the case of the two bodies (9 and 10). The materials of the hone yielded several potsherds, chippings of flint, animal bones split for the mar row, and part of a red deer horn. The examina tions are being continued. PASTORAL LETTER OF THE BISHOP OF BIRMINGHAM. The following is a Pastoral Letter by the Right Rev. Dr. Ullathorne, Bishop of Birmingham To our Dearly Beloved Brethren and Children in Christ, the Clergy, Secular and Regular, and the Faithful of our Diocese. Health and Benediction in the Lord. Dearly Beloved,—Much has been written of late, and especially in a portion of our lay periodical press, which, from its general tone, is calculated to leave an impression on the mind of its readers, that English Catholics have not that faith or loy alty towards the Holy and Apostolic See which they ought to have ; or at all events, that they do not comprehend what that faith and loyalty require of them. Abstruse questions belonging to doc trine and theological teaching have been discussed on that lay arena as to what is of faith and what is not of faith, as to what is of sin and what is not of sin, and that in a style and after a manner which we will not characterize, but which perplexes and bewilders the faithful, whilst it exhibits us to the non-Catholic world around us, as though, divided like them, the English Catholics know not what they believe, or of whatthey speak. Nor is this all ; for, as we have some reason for knowing, the notion is thus spread abroad amongst our brethren in foreign countries, that our body is disunited on high and low views of doctrine, even as were the Greeks of Constantinople, whilst the enemies of their faith were thundering at their gates. And yet, beloved brethren, you cease not to be united with the teaching voice of your pastors ; your pastors are united and of one accord in their teaching ; and their united voice is ever one and the same with that of the Holy See. We are the faithful children of the Church, and therefore we are the loyal children of the Holy See. Was it not the consciousness of this truth, and was it not the inheritance of this consolation, that strengthened our fathers in their cruel con flicts with the adversaries of the Papacy ? And what is it but this same consciousness, and this self-same consolation, which gives us courage to endure, and strength to bear lightly those temporal disadvantages and those social inconveniences, that, because of our fidelity to Peter's chair, are apt to meet us at every turn of life ? If our fathers encountered the loss of all things•— if they suffered the loss of society, goods, and life; if they endured oppression, the rack, the sword, and the gibbet, and that for no earthly cause except their adhesion to the Holy See ; who shall lightly accuse their children of defection, who still are holding with much earthly cost to the faith of their fathers? The soil of England has been pur pled with martyrdoms for the Holy See. Nor, bylithe grace of God, has the practical tradition of that fidelity been broken up as yet. Some, indeed, we must confess with sorrow, have fallen away. Others have taken their places. But of the body of English Catholics at this:hour, those whose faith in the Holy See is weak and languid may be counted without much difficulty. They form a poor and feeble band. You have been taught, beloved brethren, that our Blessed Lord gave all His power on earth to Peter before He communicated any portion of that power to the rest of the apostles. You know that whilst the rest of the apostles had not apostles but bishops for their successors, the glorious apostleship of Peter continues in his successors to this day ; and that it will continue to the end of time. You know that whenever the apostle, holding Peter's place, speaks to the Churches, his confirming voice speaks the unfailing truth. If the Pope proclaims to the Church that a doctrine is heretical, it is heretical. If he says that a doctrine is nigh to heretical, it is nigh to heretical. If he says it is erroneous, it is erroneous. What he de clares from Peter's chair to be unsound, is un sound ; and what he affirms to be rash or scandal ous, is rash or scandalous. And if the Pontiff warns us that this line of thinking or that course of action is dangerous to faith or to morals, it is dangerous to faith or to morals, exactly as he declares it. This you know. This you believe. By this voice you both guide your faith and regu late your conduct. The sincerity of your faith will not allow you to be falterers ; nor, if we must allude to the latest term invented as a brand for the brow of Catholics, will the simplicity of your belief allow you to be minimizers. And for this very reason is your faith sincere and simple, that you keep to what the Church has taught you through her pastors, and concern not yourselves with such opinions as are framed by any unautho rized teachers ; you know what example your bishops have set you, and you have witnessed their quick response to every call made upon them by the Sovereign Pontiff. For example, when that great doctrinal instruction, the Encyclical and Syllabus of 1864, was promulgated from the chair of Pius IX., with what reverence and gratitude was the precious gift received ! It was at once recog nized as a light from Heaven to guide us through the intellectual danger of these perilous times. Copies of it were multiplied by the bishops in the hands of their clergy, and they in their turn were exhorted to inculcate its principles amidst their flocks ; and the clergy made it their study, not only in private but also in their conferences. llave we heard of one of them who has questioned the least of its principles, or who has otherwise accounted of it, than as an inestimable light, shin ing with all the force that is derived from apostolic authority? With this not uncalled-for introduction, we have now to speak with you, beloved brethren, on a sub ject of considerable gravity, and one in which we do not speak without the direction of the Holy See. At a meeting of the English bishops of Decem ber, 1864, the last, over which the late Cardinal Wiseman presided, the subject of the education of Catholics at Protestant uniyersities was fully con• THE SUN, LONDON, MONDAY EVENING, OCTOBER 28, 1867 sidered, and that with the help of very copious information. The unanimous conclusions of the bishops were sent to Rome, and received the confir mation of the Holy See on February 3, 1865. And at a subsequent episcopal assembly held on the 23d of March in the same year, those conclusions were drawn up in the following terms : "The bishops are unanimously agreed in their disapproval of the establishing of a Catholic college at any of the Protestant universities. And they are further of opinion that parents ought to be in every way dissuaded from sending their children to pursue their studies at such universities. This judgment was expressed by the bishops, and by our lamented Cardinal Archbishop, in the last meeting over which he presided; and in forming it they were guided by those principles which the Church has ever maintained in the matter of education." This document was at once published to all and each of the clergy throughout England. But although formally addressed to the clergy it was obviously an instruction for the laity. To them also it became widely known, and received a new circulation through our Catholic press. Yet some amongst the laity drew the unsound distinction that what was only addressed to the clergy was not directed to them ; although its very terms indicated that the clergy received this instruction for the express purpose of its being conveyed to the laity. However, to remove all further objec tion on this head, we now give this document the same promulgation to the laity which has already beenlgiven to the clergy. And we declare to all the faithful within our pastoral charge, that parents ought to be in every way discouraged from sending their children to pursue their studies at Protestant universities. To send them to these universities is to place them within an atmosphere and beneath a combination of influences so com pletely and exclusively Protestant, that it cannot be otherwise than perilous to the faith and con science of Catholic youth. From their constitution, the religious views of their teachers, and the spirit that pervades them, these great educational insti tutions are essentially anti-Catholic. Nor could any legal relaxation of their exclusiveness make them otherwise. On the contrary, it will but open them to a wider sectarianism, to a freer scepticism, and to a confirmed spirit of indiffe rentism ; to all, in short, that is adverse to the fundamental principle of Catholicism. And what is this principle ? That there is a fixed and cer tain truth made known to man, a creed imposed upon his conscience, which he can neither change nor question without apostatizing from the light and law of God. Let us reflect for a moment on what this transition from Catholic teaching to a Protestant university implies. It occurs at that crisis when youth is developing into manhood. Nature is then in its highest ferment ; imagination is rising into ascend ancy, and reason is making its first essays. Then also it is that awakening to the novel sense of inde pendence, the restless and inquisitive mind of youth is susceptible of every fresh influence, and accessible to every new idea ; whilst neither his character has obtained that consistency, nor his judgment that maturity which will enable him to resist the charms that attach to novelty, or to repel the spirit of free inquiry that meets him with its fascinations on every side. At this unsettled time above all others does the Catholic youth need the firm yet gentle guidance of his Catholic preceptors ; and yet it is at this period that some persons would throw him into the vortex of anti-Catholic senti ment and thought, without pilot, rudder, or com pass. Into that vortex is he thrown, with no help but the graces, whilst they last, of his calmer and more innocent boyhood, there to struggle with those untried forces of nature that are springing like a flood tide within him ; and there to contend with an intellectual world whose energising prin ciples and forces are all working in opposition to his faith, and against the life of his religion. Ile is but an atom in that great whole, and can he avoid being influenced by the laws of its attraction? What he derives not of Protestant influence from his clerical preceptors he will gain more surely from his free and constant intercourse with his fellow pupils. Surrounded and pressed upon by a crowd of sentiments, views, and theories, touching God and man, creation and redemption, religious, moral, and social principles, the products of free-thinking or of Protestant tradition, whilst his own Catholic teaching is thrown into abeyance, he will of ne cessity imbibe views of human science, of history, and of what concerns revelation, both hostile to his religion and driving him on towards principles that are subversive of all faith. And their influence will be the more insidious, and the less alarming to the conscience of a Catholic youth, for the very reason that there is probably no formal intention of perverting his principles ; and that the very urbanity and that courteous forbearance with which those principles and views are held throw him off his guard and soothe him into security. Is he a youth of quick parts and self •reliant ? Then his intellectual danger is the greatest. Is he dull of head and infirm of purpose? Then the dark, immoral stream that runs through the hidden ways of that university will be his greater danger. It may, however, be urged that in one at least of those universities there is a party, and that not in significant, that is struggling in various directions towards Catholic light. But that party exerts no corporate influence, it is not of the genius of the place, it is an accident uneasily borne with, it is driving the university proper in a direction oppo site to its own. And, however that party may attract our sympathies and awaken our fervid prayers for its deliverance from error, as an in fluence on Catholic youth placed in habitual com munication with it, it carries its own peculiar dan gers. This we see even outside the universities, where the relaxing influence of this school of thought has exerted an effect upon certain imper fectly-instructed converts, that has led them to advocate a modified form of their theory through the press. The - very sympathies awakened by these partial approximations may beguile our youth into an interchange of lax and defective principles, and may sow the seeds of questions in what bears upon the Church and Church history, upon the Sovereign Pontificate and Church unity, and upon the authoritative or the liberal interpretation of the Scriptures. They may induce habits of ques tioning her teaching even where the Church has spoken. And be it remembered that this party— if we can call those scattered groups placed at higher and lower levels of thought a party—has anything but a Catholic temper ; for, whilst it is detached from the authority and traditions of its own body, it is afloat and at sea upon the raft of private judgment. Truth, by its very nature, is one and exclu sive ; and it necessarily follows that the teaching of truth is exclusive. It admits of no compro mise. Mild in all things else, the Gospel is inexor able in demanding the teaching of her children by the Church, to the exclusion of unsound teachers. There is no communication, says the Apostle, be tween light and darkness, truth and error. And our Divine Lord gives us the admonition to beware of false teachers, who wear the clothing of the true sheep. And again He says : " He that walketh in darkness knoweth not whither he goeth. Whilst you have the light believe in the light, that you may be the children of light." But this light is in the Church of Christ, as St. Paul tells us, and not in the assemblies of error. If it be said that this doctrine concerns religious truth and not human science, the reply to that assertion is not far to seek. For the two orders of knowledge are inseparably interwoven with each other. The grace of a Christian is united with nature, his faith with his reason, and his religious with his civil life. We can no more separate man, his thought and his history from the light which revelation throws upon them, than we can sever God from His creation, or from His guidance of the world. No man, in fact, ever makes this separation, he either construes his science in the light of his religion, or constructs some kind of religion by his science. Whatever Luther has said to the contrary, he cannot hold two contradictory systems in his mind together ; he must either subject his science to his religion, or his religion to his science. When St. Paul cau tioned the Bishop Timothy against men who were " ever learning, and never coming to the know ledge of the truth," and when the same Apostle urged the same Bishop to guard the Ephesians against some who taught otherwise than he taught, giving heed "to fables and genealogies without end ; which minister questions rather than the edification which is in faith ;" the object of St. Paul was to guard the faithful against certain theories drawn from oriental philosophies, which, under the pretence of science, were destroying faith. The conflict for an exclusive as against a mixed system of education is no new thing ; it is com mensurate with the history of revelation. From the Book of Genesis to the Apocalypse, the history of God's people is filled with the records of that conflict. The Patriarchal law fenced the family, as the Mosaic law fenced the nation, of true be lievers from the errors around them, by the ex clusive system under which they were trained. How earnest are God's injunctions to the Pa triarchs, how stern His prohibitions through Moses to the Israelites, how vehement His de nunciations through the Prophets to the Kings as well as people, to shun the teachings, the manners, and the customs, of the unbelieving nations round their borders. For this cause also were intermar riages prohibited. And from the fall of Solomon to the conflicts of the Maccabees, the Holy Spirit ceases not to ascribe the corruption that defiled Israel to the neglect of these exclusive educational precepts. In the New Testament, as we have seen, both Christ and His Apostles enforce the same maxims of exclusive teaching. The children of the Church are to give ear to the Church, and to shun the teachers of error. The whole spirit of the Scriptures, as it relates to this subject, is summed up in that noble con flict of the Maccabees with the Greek Sovereigns of Syria, which terminates the history of the Old Testament. The object of that conflict was to save Jerusalem from a mixed system of education. Certain wicked men of Israel persuaded many to make a covenant with the heathen. And when the King had given the licence which they asked, 'they built a gymnasium (or school) and a place of exercise in Jerusalem, according to the laws of nations." And thus the youth " were led away from the covenant and joined themselves to the heathens, and were sold to evil, and the kingdom was established before Antiochus." Then arose the just and valiant men of Israel to save their faith and nation from destruction. Yet no sooner have they repelledtheir enemies, purged Jerusalem from this evil system, and offered the sacrifices of thanksgiving for their victories over the great King, than the Scripture reopens with a new con flict against the successor of that King, and for the self-same cause. But this time it is an aspirant to the high-priesthood, who gets a licence from the King of Syria to establish a school and place of exercise, " after the manner of the Greeks." And as the Scripture observes, this was not now the beginning, but the increase and progress of changed manners, " insomuch that the priests were not now occupied about the offices of the altar, but despising the temple and neglecting the semi flees, they hastened to be partakers of the games. And setting nought by the honours of their fathers, they esteemed the Grecian glories the best." This conduct opened the way to a new invasion of Israel, and the Old Testament, like the New, closes amidst the scenes of victorious exaltation, in which the cause of God has triumphed over that of His enemies. The closing Book of the New Testament exhibits the progress of the Church until the end of the world. And there the contest of the Church with the world and with Satan, is but a repetition of that former contest on a vaster scale and with augmented powers. But the object of that conflict is for the intellectual guidance of mankind, a conflict in which the world and its seducers grow ever more ingenious and energetic in their efforts to secure to themselves the training of God's people ; until God overthrows both the world and its devices. Protestantism has always been consistent with itself on this point, and this consistency has made its education exclusive. It never sends its children to Catholic schools. By the most stripping con fiscations and the severest penal laws, it did its utmost for ages to make the education of England exclusively Protestant. And with equal if not yet greater severity did it prohibit the Catholic education of Englishmen beyond the seas. The very enumeration of those ruthless laws but so recently repealed is enough to make one shudder, whilst they prove with what valour our fathers contended for the purely Catholic education of their children. But that instinct which closed our schools with penal bars is not dead ; nor do we need the testimony of Archbishop Whately to show that the earnest desire to force on us a Pro testant system of education lives still to exert it self after the milder and more subtle methods of the age we live in. A mixed system of education is essentially a Protestant system. It is Protestant by the very exclusion of Catholic elements. And the effort to force this system on Catholics is always the most insisted upon where Catholics are the most numerous. We see this in the Godless colleges and the mixed system of popular education in Ireland. We see it in the extreme reluctance to grant any civil advantages to the Catholic university already established by dint of so much effort and sacrifice. We see it in the efforts of Australian legislation to put down the separate system which had there so long and happily prevailed. Protestant Germany has acted like Protestant England, until the nobler Catholic minds were aroused to remedy its fatal results. And the cry for a Catholic university for German Catholic youth is the final expression of that peril from which they are seeking to escape. Catholic Belgium, oppressed with the educational schemes, first of its Protestant Dutch Government, and next by those of the free-thinkers within its borders, found a solution of the conflict in the re-establish ment of the Catholic University of Louvain. Let us take this Protestant education in its most negative shape, separate it from the personal influence of its ministers, and clear it of its doctrinal errors, and what remains, but a habit of thinking on all subjects apart from God, and independent of faith ? Restore that purely Protestant element, and you deliver up your sons to its manifold action ; and then will it set up in their mind its own tests and standards of truth and error, right and wrong. For example, the independent thought of man is raised high above the authority of the Church ; whilst the ethics of Aristotle are more sedulously inculcated than the precepts of Christ. And yet it is upon the principles of human pride, and the self-sufficiency of man that the pagan moralist rests his teaching ; whilst the principles of grace, of humility, and of our de pendence on God, are the deep foundations upon which our blessed Lord has planted the Christian soul. In short, the spirit of these uni versities bears full sweep against the fundamental principles of the Church ; whilst the partial reaction in the opposite direction has only brought back a stronger anti-Catholic current. We may be told that the army, the navy, and the public offices are as perilous to Catholic youth as the universities, and that, therefore, the one cannot be more objectionable than the other. But a moment of sound reflection ought to dissipate this deceptive argument. Each one must take up a career in life, and the choosing a profession is often a sort of necessity from which there is no fair alternative presented. Nor have these professions, like the universities, a provision in their very nature calculated to saturate the mind with anti- Catholic principles and modes of thought. The . r moral dangers arc as great as those of the uni versities, and even, as we must admit, greater ; but they have not the same undermining influence on those principles, which once lost, are rarely re ' covered. On those moral dangers it is impossible to reflect too seriously, against them it is equally impossible to guard too cautiously ; and yet those dangers are but the- self-same in kind to which every youth is exposed, who has a career to take amongst his fellow-men in this licentious world. But is there the like necessity for passing through the last years of education in a Protestant univer sity? This we cannot admit. The freer and more extended society which characterizes a university we are not yet in a position to give. And some thing ought to be sacrificed in the maintenance of great principles. But a completer and more ex tended education than our Catholic youth receive, that we can give. There would be no great diffi culty in providing a more advanced study of classical literature, if that were really in demand, and our colleges embrace a complete university course of (natural science, logic, and metaphysics ; yet with the exception of our clerical students, very few indeed are willing to profit by them. The statistics of our colleges would show how very small a number of their lay-students go through the ordinary school course. As to the efficiency of that course, we have only to point to the ex aminations of the London University, and to the examinations for civil employments. Let the cost of pursuing higher branches of study be calcu lated on an adequate scale, for a fair number of students, and there will be no very great difficulty in procuring the competent professors. But what we fear is, that it is not so much a course of studies that is sought for as a certain social atmosphere. And as that is such as can only be found in the large and populous field of the Protest nt univer sities, we cannot provide it within our own con tracted circle. It is precisely from this atmosphere that we would wish to shelter Catholic youth until their character and principles are formed. And the one effective way of doing this is to consolidate in their minds those principles of Catholic truth, philosophy and science, by which, if completely educated in them, they would go forth fully armed into the world to encounter the battles and the trials of life. We have to think for the common frailty, and not for rare and exceptional cases of strength. And who, indeed, can undertake to say that this or that youth is so rooted in his principles, so strong in faith and piety, as to be enabled to resist, even in the opening years of his intellectual. formation, influences that are blended with all that process of formation, and ever pouring upon his faculties and senses to the exclusion of any counteracting influence? Those who amidst so many perils, neither lose faith nor imbibe such principles as may lead to the loss of faith cannot fail to contract a disposition towards laxity in matters of faith, and towards languor in their reli gious practices. Hence, beloved brethren, after receiving com plete information, after hearing all parties to the question, after twice hearing the united judgment of the bishops on this subject, and after long and careful consideration, has the Holy Apostolic See lifted up its warning, and uttered its teaching voice. In a letter of the 6th of August of this present year, addressed to each of the English bishops, the Sacred Congregation says : " You will clearly explain in your Pastoral Letter the doctrine of the Church about avoiding the dan gers of mortal sin, to which no one without griev ous sin can expose himself, unless under the pres sure of serious and adequate necessity, and unless such precautions be employed as may remove the proximate danger of sin. In the present case, where, as his Holiness has declared, those who frequent the universities incur an intrinsic and most grievous danger to purity of morals as well as to faith, which is absolutely necessary to salvation; who can fail to see that it is next to impossible to discover circumstances which would allow Catho lics without sin to attend non-Catholic universities? The light and unstable minds of youth, the errors which in such institutions are imbibed almost through the atmosphere, without being counter acted by more solid doctrine, the very great power which human respect and the taunts of their com panions exercise upon young men, lead them so readily and so immediately into the danger of fall ing, that, generally, no sufficient reason can be conceived why young men should be entrusted to those universities. " [Such being the case, you in your wisdom will so use the arguments of authority and reason in publishing the letter, that it may be at length clearly seen, as well by all the clergy as by the faithful, what it is their duty to think and to do in this most grave matter.]" Promptly obeying the,voice of the Supreme Pas tor and Teacher of the faithful, anxiously remem bering the severe account we must render of your souls, and deeply conscious of that influence for God's honour, which the children of those who are in the higher positions of life are destined to enjoy, where that influence is well directed—we desire all our clergy to explain, in public and in private, now and hereafter, the necessity of pre serving the children of the rich as well as of the poor, from the inevitable dangers to which their faith will be exposed, if they are educated amongst those who do not possess its truth, and do not comprehend its mysteries. We direct that this Pastoral Letter be read in each church and chapel of our diocese, on the 19th Sunday after Pentecost. _ May the grace of our Lord Jesus Christ ever keep you, brethren, in the light of His eternal truth, that being rooted in the faith, and obedient to your pastors, who break for you the bread of life, you may be careful also to keep the unity of the spirit in the bond of peace. Given at Birmingham, this thirteenth day of October, 1867. ►j. WILLIAM BERNARD, Bishop of Birmingham. MISCELLANEOUS NE WS. (From the Anglo-American Times.)

A Paris correspondent (says the Pall Mall) sends us the following account of the affair between the Prince Antoine Murat and the Marquis de Roue, which has been so much talked about in high Parisian society during the last few days :—" The P r i nce an d th e co l one l o f his regi- ment, the Marquis Gallifet, have both for some time been assiduous in their attentions to the same lady in Paris. The other day the Prince asked for leave, which the colonel refused. Upon this the Prince applied to the Minister of War, and at onco obtained the leave he ro- quirod. This naturally incensed the colonel, who in a letter to his friend, the Marquis de Rouge, concluled a de scription of the affair by the following sentence : Voilk ce que c'est que d'avoir des princes de carton sous ses ordres.' Meanwhile the lady in question somehow got possession of the colonel's letter, and showed it to Prince Murat, who at once took it to the Emperor at Biarritz. Ms Majesty therefore ordered the Minister of War to administer a sharp remand to tha colonel. The Marquis do Rouge, hearing of this, took his friend's part, and chal lenged Prince Murat. Another duel is to come off between the Prince and his colonel." Senator Stanton has written to some one at Washington, it is said, complaining of the ovation given to General Sheridan, while he, the unhappy martyr, is re ceived in solemn silence. The Springfield Republican truly remarks that, however useful Mr. Stanton's career, there was nothing in it to arouse popular enthUsiasm ; and if such ovations as were given to Sheridan were offered to Stanton they would be merely ludicrous. Mr. Senter was elected President of the Senate, and F. S. Richards, of Shelby, Speaker of the House, at the meeting of the Tennessee Legislature on the 7th instant.

Clarke is acting at the St. James's Theatre the character of Major Wellington de Boots, in "A Widow Bunt." The Pall Mall Gazette, in its usual style of detraction, remarks that his manner is harder and drier than that of Mr. Buckstone, his voice thin and harsh, and his accent that of an Irish-American :—" Such amuse- 'Dent as he creates is by dint of hard work at high pres sure, as it were. He shrinks from no exaggeration. He has little sense of the artistic in acting. He relies for effect chiefly upon his faculty of grimace. He distorts his features, squints, and roll his eyes, after the manner of a clown in a pantomime, while, in a costume never worn by any sane man, he indulges in strange postures and absurd eccentricities of gait." A meeting is announced at Washington, by the Evening Star of that city, for the 18th inst., to ratify the nomination of Androw Johnson for President, and General Sheiman for Vice-President. The New York Citizen says :—" The New York Tribune this year commissioned a special correspondent to Dundee to furnish a general report of the proceedings of the British Association—a step, we believe, never before taken by any American journal." Little steam propeller yachts are the latest novelty in Philadelphia. Being both safe and swift it is thought that they will soon supersede small pleasure boats that carry sails. A peculiar carriage, with wheels ten feet in dia meter and sails, has been constructed in St. Louis for use on the Plains. It can be used as a boat in crossing streams. Sixty days ago Cheyenne, Dakota, was a howl ing wilderness ; now it has a Mayor and Common Council, publishes ordinances regulating city life, and has a news paper, rum shops, and various other incidents of civilisa tion. Thus we go! say the American papers. "Sera's a Mushroom !" exclaim the London papers, commenting on this wonderful growth, TORONTO, Oct. 10.--Thet Globe's Ottawa corres pondence says it is reported that several car-loads of arms have been discharged at Pottsdam or Malone for the use of Fenians, and conveyed into the country bordering on the St. Lawrence river and secreted, to be ready when re quired by the brotherhood. The report cannot be traced to a reliable source, but it is believed by the people at Prescott and other points on the river. The correspon dent of the London Standard, however, vouches for the truth of the report. Advices from Alaska and our Russian posses sions state that the inhabitants express great gratification at finding themselves annexed to the United States. Business is rapidly extending in New Archangel, and although loather money still predominates coin is being gradually introduced. A quartermaster's clerk at Nashville, on Saturday evening, Oct. 5, was sent to the express office with $7OO.

Eighteen hundred dollars were laid under the corner-stone of the Church of the Holy Cross, recently laid in Boston. The tobacco cutting season has fairly set in, and our planters have the satisfaction of "raking" down some remarkably fine specimens of the " weed."—Clarksville Tobaceo. Plant. A Savannah paper states that a ship of over a thousand tons came into port, discharged a full miscella neous cargo, took on board 238 bales of cotton, and sailed for New York in twenty-five hours.
