(Before Mr. Baron Martin.) Champney Powell, a respectable-looking man, about 50 years of age, sprrendered in discharge of his bail, charged with fraudulently obtaining goods to the extent of £3,000 from Mr. Caudra, a wino merchant, and goods to the extent of £950 from Mr. Dixon, also a wine merchant, in St. Mary. axe, within three months of his bankruptcy, and also falsi fying his books. The prisoner pleaded not guilty. Mr. Giffard, Mr. F. H. Lewis, and Mr. Lloyd appeared for the prosecution ; Mr. Sergeant Ballantine and Mr. Honeyman appeared for the prisoner. Tho prisoner had carried on an extensive business as a wine merchant, in partnership with a M. Aubert, under the firm of Aubert and Powell, in St. Mary-axe, and in the early part of the present year the prisoner Powell ob tained the goods in question, consisting of transfer of wine warrants. At this time the firm was very mnch involved, their debts amounting to £38,000; they then filcd a peti tion in the Court of Bankruptcy under the Bankruptcy Consolidation Act for an arrangement with their creditors, which ultimately resulted in their bankruptcy, and the pro. sent prosecution was instituted against the prisoner Powell, he having obtained the goods and having the entire control and management of the business and books of the firm, M. Aubert taking no psq in that portion of the business. After some general evidence had been given, Mr. Sergeant Ballantine took technical objection to the indictment, cud contended the charge could not be main tained. The statute expressly stated that with respect to the offence with which the prisoner was charged, that in all cases were a petition was filed for an adjudication in bank ruptcy any person obtaining goods within three months of such adjudication should be liable. In the present case the petition was filed by the prisoner and his partner for an ar rangement with their creditors only, and not for an adjud;. cation in bankruptc within the meening of th e ac t. y, and therefore clearly did not come Mr. Giffard having been heard in support of the indict ment, Mr. Baron Martin ruled that the objection was fatal to the indictment. The jury, under the direction of his Lordship, returned a verdict of not guility, and the prisoner was at once dis charged. THE liENTISH•TOWN RAILWAY ACCIDENT. Henry Rayner surrendered to an indictment charging him with manslaughter. Mr, Metcalf said, as the second grrad jury had followed the precedent of the wand jury of last session, and thrown out the bill against the pi:soner, he did not intend to offer any evidence against the prisoner on the coroner's inquisi tion. The jury returned a verdict of not guilty, and Rapier was ordered to be discharged. POLICE INTELLIGENCE.—(This Day.) MARLBOROUGH-STREET. ROBBERY BY A BETTING MAN.—Michael Hearn, a betting man, was charged before Mr. Tyrwhitt with stealing a two-shilling piece under the following circumstances : Mr. John Holloway, artist, of 52, John-street, said he was counting some money in his hand at the corner of Berners-street and happened to drop a two-shilling piece. The prisoner stooped down and picked it up, and ho at first thought he was going to give it to him, but instead of doing so he ran off as fast as he could. Witness pursued him to Dean-street, where the prisoner threw the coin away and began to cry. Prisoner—Why I had £l6 10s. in my pocket, and why should I want to rob ? Mr. Tyrwhitt—Perhaps you wanted to make it £l6 12s. Prisoner—l picked it up, and after going 200 yards the prosecutor called " Stop thief." - When I picked up the coin no one was near me. I have plenty of friends who will bail me. I have particular business to transact this morn ing, and the money is in the hands of the police at the station. Why (to prosecutor), did you let me go so far before you came after me. Prosecutor—You were off so quickly that I could not seize you or stop you. Prisoner—l did not steal the money, and you know it. Mr. Tyrwhitt—l shall remand you till Saturday. Prisoner—Won't you take bail. _ _ _ Dlr. Tyrwhitt—No. I think it is an advised robbery, and shall remand you till Saturday. THIS DAY'S AZARRETs.

Hav ing exhausted his eloquence upon the Hungarian question, and filled some columns with an egotis tical narrative of his connection with M'Manus, he now turns, as he himself expresses it, to break a lance with Meagher. He begins by saying : " I have read with much interest the specch recently de livered by you at Boston ; but though I admire its fervid eloquence, and agree with many of the sentiments which it contains, I differ altogether from the conclusions which you endeavour to enforce. I am, therefore, prepared to break a lance with you iu argument, and to contend that the Irish in America ought to appear as mediators, instead of being participators, in the fratricidal strife which is now desolat ing the fairest portion of the Western Hemisphere. You have:denounced as;' conspirators' and propagandists' of na tional diehonour and of national ruin' those Americans who advocate peace. These terms can scarcely apply to me, though lam an advocate of peace. So far am I from con spiring against the unity of the great Republic of the West that no event which has occurred in foreign countries ever occasioned me so much sorrow as the disruption of the American 'Union ; and this sorrow has been intensified when I have observed the delight with which the enemies of the republic have watched and gloated over the events which appear to render reconciliation impossible. Neither can I consider myself a propagandist of national dishonour and of national ruin' when I urge the statesmen of America as well as my own fellow-countrymen to put an end to this fratricidal war by mutual forgiveness end mutual conces sions, which shall avert national ruin without compromis ing the honour of either of the contending parties." Meagher's language does not, of course, apply to Smith O'Brien, but then it gives him a grand opportunity of dis playing his profound egotism. How the Americans will laugh when they read the ridiculous proposition contained below :--- " Such a favourable moment for negotiation may not again occur. Be assured that England and France will not long remain tranquil spectators of a contest which affects the interests, I may say the existence, of many millions of their population. If these Governments find that the Northerns are unable within a sheet period to subdue the Southerns, they will not only recognise the Southern Con federacy as a separate Government, but will violate the blockade of the Southern ports, which has been partially established by the navy of the Federalists. If the power of France and of England be thrown into the scale in favour of the South, what will become of the honour and interests of the republic The American doctrine that the Powers of Europe ought not to be allowed to interfere with the west ern world, will be a theme of universal derision, and both the Northern States and the Southern States of America will be brought into contempt amongst the nations of the earth. I contend, therefore, that instead of denouncing as 'a conspirator' and as a propagpndist of national dishon our and of national ruin' the man who seeks to re-establish peace in America, you ought rather to hail such a media tor as a friend to the great nation of which you have be • come a citizen. Perhaps it may be still possible to preserve the Union by peaceful adjustment ; but if this be impos sible, let the separation be conducted on amicable terms. Call not upon en European foe to decide your fraternal quarrels. The territory which is immediately af fected by this strife considerably exceeds, in point of ex tent, the whole of Europe. Though you and I may dc3ply regret that the Union which kept in cohesion th's vast territory is about to be severed, yet such an event must sooner or later have taken place, and, perhaps, advantages, which we do not at present foresee may arise from the separation. For my own part, I should not be surprised if a separation of the slave States from the Northern States were to bring about an ea ply emancipation of the slaves, for Ido not believe that slavery can be maintained in territories which lie contiguous to free States, except by the aid of a fugitive slave law, which has been for ever re pealed. These are my views respecting the present contest in America; and, to prove the sincerity of my convictions, I am willing to go to America at my own expense, to act as internuncio between the contending parties, in case my services may be accepted in that capacity. I have been receive ] or invited as a guest by several of the most distin guiLhed statesmen who are now conducting the respective administrations of the Confederate States and the Fe lerPl Republic. I trust, therefore, that I shall not be regarded by them as a stranger, and I venture also to hope that, though I have differed with some of my fellow-countrymen upon important points, I have not forfeited the confidence and affection which they testified towards me when I was in America. I therefore offer to go to America as an un ostentatious missionary of peace. During a' public life, which now extends over a period of 33 years, I have never solicited office of any kind for myself from either kings, queens, viceroys, or ministers ; but I am now disposed to solicit the situation of unpaid envoy between the contend ing sections of the American people, and it will be the proudest triumph of my life if I cen assist in restoring peace between the disunited members of the great American family, whose most vital interests are so deeply injured by this internecine war.—Believe me, my dur friend, most sincerely yours, " WILLIAM SMITH O'BRIEN. " To. Mr. Thomas Frauds Meagher, New York.", If vanity were a fatal complaint, Smith O'Brien's career would have long since terminated. What will be his next proposition ? THIS DAY'S SIIIP.PINCI.

Mr. O'Dowd, Solicitor of the Board of Trade, is engaged at Galway in the investigation of a disputed claim between the Misses Digby, owners of Arran, and the Gal way Town Commissioners, as to right to works upon the island. Mr. Duggan, counsel for the Commissioners, read extracts from " Hardiman's History of Galway, giving proof of the right of Galway to all property worked on the island of Arran, and then produced witnesses to prove that the Mayor of Galway formerly enjoyed that right, and no other party claimed it. The inquiry is still proceeding. No fewer than 150 persons were fined, at one of the Dublin Police Courts, on Monday, for drunkenness. EXTRAORDINARY PROSECUTION. —At the bench held at St. Neot's, on Thursday last, before Capt. Reynolds, Capt. Ifumbley, and Mr. S. New ton, William Woods, a lad aged 16, was summoned at the instance of the Rev. Ed mund Markham Heales, the rector of Yelling, Hunts, for indecent behaviour in the parish church on Sunday, the 29th ult. The rev. complainant, on being sworn, stated that during service on the day in question he noticed that the lad was sitting in a placo in which he ought not to have sat, namely, ho was sitting by limself instead of with ',lie other boys. He stoppci the service, and went to the boy. He desired him to move. He did not do so, but laughed is his face. Ho deemed it r:ght, therefore, to make an example of him. The defendant, a stupid-looking country lad, seemed scarcely to know what to make of the proceedings. The mother of the boy, however, spoke up on behalf of the lad, and asked, in a quaint rustic manner, what her boy had done. She could not see he had done wrong. Mr. Bell, the churchwarden, was called, but he evidently knew nothing of the matter, and, referring to the charge, volunteered it as his opinion that a " sexton had better be got to trump the boy's heads with a stick." The magistrates convicted the lad of the offence charged, and adjudged him to pay the mitigated penalty of 65.--Cam bridge inckpeident Dos, RER MATESI'Y'S ,TOURNET SOUTH WARDS. EDINBURGH, TUESDAY EVENING. The Queen, the Prince Consort, the Princesses Alice, Helena, Louisa, and Beatrice, and Prince Leopold, accompanied by the Princess Hohenlohe, arrived at Holyrood this evening from Balmoral, on their way to the south. The royal suite included the Marchioness of Ely, Lady Augusta Bruce, Sir George Grey, Lord Charles Fitzroy, Hon. General Grey, Hon. Sir C. Phipps, Col. Ponsonby, and Dr. Jenner. The royal party, who had left Balmoral at half past 9, and commenced their railway journey at Aboyne, Deeside, at a quarter before 12, reached St. Margaret's station, Edinburgh, at precisely the appointed time, half-past 6. At the station they were awaited by the Duke of Buccleuch, the Lord Provost, the Lord Advocate, M.P., the Solicitor- General of Scotland, Sir Wm. Dunbar, M.P., Mr. Sheriff Gordon, Major-Gen. Walker, commanding the forces in Scotland ; Sir Sohn Douglas, K.C.B. ; Col. Darby Griffiths, Scots Greys ; Col. Carey, 26th ; Col. Maclean, R.A. ; Col. Skyring, RE. ; Capt. D'Eyncourt, R.N. ; Mr. Hodgson, and the directors of the North British Railway. From the railway station to the palace her Majesty and .the royal party proceeded in a line of carriages and four, attended by an escort of the Scots Greys, the route through the park being guarded by the Scots Greys, the 26th (Cameronians), and a battery of Royal Artillery. Notwithstanding that the night was very dark, and that the ground was in a moist con dition from recent rains, the whole way to the palace was lined with spectators, who in the darkness could see little of the pageant and nothing of the royal party, their carriages being closed. As her Majesty arrived at the station a royal salute was fired from the Castle. The royal travellers reached Holyrood Palace about a quarter to 7 o'clock. In the evening the dinner party was joined by the Duchess of Wellington, the Duke of Buccleuch, tLe Hon. W. F. Cowper, First Commissioner of Works, and Major- Gen. Walker. THE PRINCE CONSORT IN EDINBURGH. EDINBURGH, WEDNESDAY. This afternoon the foundation stones of the new General Post-office in this city and of the Industrial Museum of Scotland were laid by his Royal High ness the Prince Consort in presence of an immense concourse of people. The weather was extremely favourable, and business was completely suspended in the city during the double ceremony. The route from Holyrood Palace to the site of the Post-office, immediately opposite the Register-house, was lined by the military and several companies of Volun teers, as was also the route along the North and South Bridges to the site of the Industrial Museum, at the back of the University. The principal streets were gaily decorated with flags, and, besides the crowds who occupied the two platforms from which a view of the ceremonies could be obtained, the streets were densely thronged with spectators, although thousands could only obtain a view of the carriages forming the procession as they passed along. The Prince Consort left Holyrood Palace at 20 minutes past I, accompanied by Sir George Grey, the Duke of Buccleuch, General Walker, Commander-in-Chief of the Forces in Scotland ; Colonel Maclean, Major Hyde Page, and Earl Spencer. The Royal cortege was preceded by the Lord Provost, and as the carriages passed along the Regent-road and Waterloo-place, accompanied by the band of the Scots Greys, his Royal Highness was received with the utmost enthusiasm by the assembled crowd. On arriving at the Register. house his Royal Highness received a number (4 noblemen and gentlemen who were to take part in the ceremony, and proceeded across the street to the site of the Post-office, accompanied by the Lord Provost, magistrates, and Council, the Lords of Session, the members for the city, and the other gentlemen who had been presented to his Royal Highness. The procession having taking their allotted positions round the stone, the Lord Provost of the city presented an address to the Prince Con sort, congratulating his Royal Highness on the safe arrival of her Majesty and the Royal Family . in the city, and thanking him for his presence on that occasion. The Prince Consort, in reply, congratulated the citizens of Edinburgh on the acquisition of two such important buildings as it was now proposed to erect, and expressed his satisfaction at the increased faci lities of communication by letter which had ren dered necessary the erection of a new Post-office, and upon the fact that th© advantages of speed and regularity in such communications, which were onoe the exclusive privilege (though to a much less extent even as regarded them) of the higher and middle classes, had now, thanks to the marvellous development of the Post-office system, been brought within reach of the poorest ; while another great boon had been conferred upon all classes by the facilities afforded for the safe transmission of money by means of Post-office orders, thus constituting the Post office, as it were, an universal banking agency, resting on the security of the State, and brought to every man's very door. His Royal Highness also expressed his hope that the recent Act of legislaticn with regard to savings-banks in connexion with the Post-office would confer further and most important benefits on the working-classes. After congratu- lating the citizens on the extension to Edinburgh of the advantages already possessed by London and Dublin in the erection of an industrial museum, the Prince Consort concluded by expressing his thanks for an allusion in the address to the part he took in the International Exhibition of 1851, and re marked that the best acknowledgment which the promoters of that undertaking could receive was the practical proof afforded, by its repetition in 1862, that they had correctly understood and ap preciated the wants and requirements of the day. The foundation-stone was then laid in the usual form amid loud cheering, and the proceedings ter minated with three cheers for the success of the undertaking and three cheers for her Majesty and the Prince Consort. Her Majesty was not present at the ceremony, having visited the Botanical Gardens in the forenoon ; but Prince Leopold and two of the younger Princes occupied a room in the Register-house from which a view of the proceed ings could be obtained. Immediately after the above ceremony the Prince Consort, accompanied as formerly, proceeded to the University, in the large quadrangle of which the Principal, Sir David Brewster, and the members of the Senatus Acade miens were in waiting to receive him. Sir David Brewster presented an address from the Senatus to the Prince Consort, which his Royal Highness briefly acknowledged. The company then pro ceeded to the site of the museum through one of the windows of the University, where the ceremony of laying the foundation-stone was gone through, the whole proceedings only occupying a few minutes. The Prince Cunsort immediately after the ceremony ' retraced his steps to the front gate of t h e University, where the State carriage wa s in waiting, and pro. ceeded amid loud cheers to Holyrood Palace. DEFARTURE FROM EDINBURGH. At half-past 8 o'clock in the evening her Majesty, the Prince Consort, and the members of the Royal Family, left St. Margaret's station for the south, the route along the Queen's Park being lined by a large body of Volunteers, carrying torchlights. INDIAN PRIZE MONEY. TO THE EDITOR OF THE SUN. October 24, 1861. Sru,—l am a poor old soldier, who served in the late Indian mutiny with Lord Clyde. I have undergone for fifteen months fatigue, suffering, and privation. I have lost the use of my right arm in her excellent Majesty's service, God bless her I but nearly five years are past since the first outbreak at Meerut, and the only reward given to the old soldier is a medal with a clasp I' Proh, Fuclor ! Is this the only compensation to be made to us ? A great amount of booty was captured at Delhi, Lucknow, Gwalior, and Kotah ; and yet, no tidings of prize money I At the India Office they say that her Majesty has not signed the warrant for the Central India prize money, and that the prize rolls even are not being made out. Is it fair that Government should thus delay paying poor old soldiers who have fought hard for their Queen and country ? I have the honour to be, Sir, Your humble servant, .6., NAPIB, BRITISH POSSESSIONS. Closing Price. Share' Railways.• stk 18 2011 20 3 / 4 10 100 500 100 l Atianiic d.

Our market to-day was but moderately supplied with beasts, both as to number and quality. The few prime Scots, 8.T., on offer were taken off readily, at Monday's prices ; otherwise, the beef trade was in a sluggish state, on former terms. Sheep—the show of which was rather limited— were a dull inquiry, at barely previous currencies. The top quotation was 5s Gd per 81bs. We have to report a dull market for calves.

THE CHARITABLE INSTITUTIONS OF LIVERPOOL. —A meeting was held yesterday in the Tows-hall, Liver pool, his worship the Mayor (Mr. J. H. Graves) presiding, to take into consideration the present embarrassed condi tion of the Northern and Southern Hospitals, both of which, have for some time.past been in a rather languishing con dition from the want of funds. It appears that the sum of 000 was wanted to clear off the debt of the latter institu tion, and about £3,000 for the former, which had suffered lately to a large extent by the defalcations of its secretary and treasurer. Besides the sums named, it was also stated that the Northern Hospital was in need of £l,OOO to make additions to its accommodation, rendered necessary by the increasing demands upon its usefulness. At the meeting referred to resolutions were adopted pledging those present to use every effort to carry out the object for which the meeting had been called.

SOUTHAMPTON, Wednesday.--A new iron steam ship, named the Briton, built by Mr. C. Lungley, of Deptford -green Dockyard, for the Union Steamship Company, and intended to be employed in the mail service with the Cape of Good Hope, was taken out to Stokes'-bay to-day to undergo an official trial of speed at the measured mile. This vessel is of 1,092 tons burden, builder's measurement, and the follow ing are her leading dimensions :—Length between perpendiculars, 239 A .; length over all, 2G let. ; ex treme breadth, 30ft. Bi n . ; d ept h o f h o ld , 23f t. lli n . ; s o t ruc top t e o f keel, depth from top of beam t engines, which were c on dby ,e 2 ,s G s f r t s .. C I . I A cr . Day and Co., of the Northam Ironworks, at this port, are of 120 horse power nominal, with an indi cated horse power of 716. They are fitted with steam-jacket, superheating apparatus, and surface condensers, and fed by Lamb and Summers's patent boilers, which supplied plenty of steam during the trial to-day. She has a two-bladed Griffith's screw, of 13ft. 3in. diameter, and 18ft. pitch. The Briton made four runs on the measured mile, with the fol lowing results :—first mile, 0 min. 8 sec., or an aver age of 9.785 knots per hour ; second mile, sec., equal to 12.040 knots; third mile, 6 min. 26 sec., equal to 9.350 knots; fourth mile, 4 min. 58 sec., equal to 12.080 points. The simple mean of the four runs was 10.813 knots per hour, and the Admiralty mean, 10.754. Revolutions of engines, 73 ; pressure of steam, 241 b. ; vacuum, 25. Every thing went very satisfactorily during the day, and the engines worked well, without giving any trouble from heated bearings or other cause. Great interest is taken in the Briton, she being the first vessel built upon Mr. Charles Lungley's patent un sinkable principle. She is divided, in the first place, by ordinary transverse water-tight bulkheads before and abaft the boiler and engine -room. The fore part of the ship, before the boiler-room bulk head, is divided below the water-line into two en tirely separate holds or compartments by a water tight horizontal-deck ; and the after part of the ship, abaft the engine-room bulkhead, is also divided in the same manner by a horizontal dock. If, there fore, the bottom of the ship should, by rocks or any other meens, be stove in or tore away below this deck at either end the water would be confined entirely to the lower hold or compartment, the deck forming, as it were, an internal bottom which would keep the ship afloat and seaworthy. In like manner, should the bottom be stove in or torn away above this deck at either end, the lower hold would still remain sound and water-tight, and is made of suffi cient capacity to keep the ship afloat and as buoy ant as is necessary for safety and seaworthiness. To give access to the lower hold, beneath this water tight deck, so es to make it available at each end for carrying cargo, a water-tight trunk is built up from. the lower deck to the upper at each end of the ship, tLe deck being cut away within this trunk, so that cargo can be passed down by a passage way which never requires to be closed up with valves or doors, like those used with ordinary water-tight bulk heads. Should water find its way into the lower holds through breaches in the bottom, it would simply rise in these trunks to the level of the sea outside, and there remain harmless. The principle adopted by Mr. Lungley seems capable of exten sion, and it was spoken of very highly to-day by one of the N:sitors, Mr. E. J. Reed, Seem- , tary to the Society of Naval Architects, who referred to certain collateral advantages it pos sesses, such es improving ventilation between docks, giving great security from fire, &c. There was a large party of scientific and other gentlemen on board to witness the trial, among whom were Mr. Reed and Mr. M. Barnaby, of the Institute of Naval Architects; Mr. Luke, Admiralty Surveyor, from Portsmouth dockyard; Messrs. Rubie and Murray, Surveyors to the Boa - 2d of Trade; Captain Patey, R.N., and Mr. I. Y. Messum, of the Admi miralty Packet Service Department; Mr. E. H. Rca, of the General Post-office ; Messrs. H. Fandel and A. Giles, Directors of the Union Company ; the Hon. J. Cawood, of the Cape of Good Hope Legislative Assembly ; Sir G. B. Pechell, Captain Coles, R.N., Captain Macdonald, of the Indian Navy ; Captain Strutt, Mr. A. Hamilton, Mr. J., Alexander, Mr. G. Y. Mercer, secretary of the company, the Messrs. Lungley, Mr. C. A. Day, &c. After leaving the measured mile the Briton steamed round the noble iron-cased ship of-war the Warrior, lying at Spithead, and returned into dock about 5 o'clock. A sumptuous dejeuner was served in the saloon, presided over by Mr. Fandel, and the toasts customary on such occasions were drunk, " Success to the Union Company and their new ship Briton" not being forgotten. The Briton will take out the November mails for the Cape. FATHER PASSAGLIA AND THE CON GREGATION OF TILE INDEX. It is well known that Father Passaglia went to Rome by orders of the Holy Father. At this mo ment the Holy City is occupied as much about him as it was occupied a few months ago about Father Giacomo, the confessor of Count Cavour. Like the latter, the former finds himself on bad terms with the Holy Inquisition ; but very fortunately for him, it is affirmed that General Goyon has given him his word of honour that no harm shall be done him. Therefore Father Passaglia may be at ease, but this does not prevent his being subject to annoyance ; for the Roman Court, furious at not being able to make an example of him, tries to be revenged by a thousand vexations for the forced impunity en joyed by one whom it regards as its enemy. Strong in his own conscience, and in the protection which it seems has been promised to him, the ex member of the Society of Jesus appears to laugh at the intrigues of the cardinals. A Turin newspaper (the Espero) furnishes us N% ith the following de tails of a conversation which has taken place be. tween the author of the famous book on the tem poral power and Cardinal Altieri, President of the Congregation of the Index. These details seem to us curious enough to be at once placed before our readers. " Having been invited, ad ardendum verbum,' by Car dinal Altieri, Father Passaglia went to the prelate, The cardinal immediately entered into conversation, and an nounced to him that the pamhplet, ' Pro Causa Italica, was already in the hands of the members of the Sacred Con gregation of the Index, in order to be attentively examined according to the forms established by the constitution of Pope Benedict XIV. The father answered that the congre gation only did its duty in following the Papal constitu tions, which ought to be respected by all good Catholics. o c f e r t t h a e in c l a y r d b i o n aclosn is d e m " n T e h d e , c a a s r t d h i n e a o l p a i n d io e n d , 0 f ' Thhee judgesbook n v 1 (1 1 already known throughout the whole city.' " Ido not see,' answered the father, the necessity of knowing my sentence before it is pronounced,' This necessity is most absolute,' said the prelate, because the public voice accuses you of being the author of this book.' I need not care,' observed the father, ' for the accu sations brought against me by the public voice, but only for the questions addressed to me by the authority of the Church.' " ' Very well,' a dd e d th e car di n al, ' I am invested with regular powers, to ask you, yes or no, in the name of the Pope, if you are the author of this book ?' " ' Te this question,' replied the priest, ' I must oppcso the answer that the authors of religious writings are not obliged by the constitutions to answer whether or not they wish to accept the responsibility, unless such writings have been prohibited by a sentence of the Sacred Congrega tion of the Index. When that sentence shall be pronounced I shall make the declaration which you want me to make to-day, but not before.' " ' The sentence will be pronounced to -morrow,' answered . the prelate, furious at the calmness and obstinacy of his interlocutor, ' and I give you my word of honour that the book will be condemned' to cen the father, ' because I think the writing is not lieb ' Because " ' I have, on all that, another opinion from.yors,' said ure." And for what reason ?' asked the prelate , the book time, St. Augustine and St. YP to condemn this writing would be to.. i.r C en of the congre condemn,wyeat the same submitted at this moment to thorie judgment g inal work, but merely a theto t f h a e th C er h w ur i c ta h by asm t i h le e , gation is not a new book, an most revered of its doctors. condemn St. Augustine and St. simple collection of truths " ' Very well I we eh din an alindignantly. cyprian ; cr i e d the ', ' That is impossible,' t answeredhs taught un l e ss you wish to make a congregation of Nestoriaus, of c 3lieheans , and of Donatists.' rThe interview ended with these Words. The cardinal red with rage, rose, rudely dismissed, the abbe, and told him that the Pope should be informed of his refusal to sub. mit—before the sentence of the congregation was pros nounSed." 1000
