THE AUSTRIAN CONCORDAT.--A letter from
Vienna, in the Augsburg Gazette, says—,, I have
obtained a copy of the circular which the Minister
of Public Instruction has sent to the governors
of different proVinces as a guide to them in doubt-
ful cases. It declares that no Catholic priest Can
be compelled to officiate in the burial of non-Catbo-
lie persons, and that for such persons they shall
not be obliged either to ring the church bells or to
lend the objects employed in worship, or even to
grant places in cemeteries. In places where non-
Catholics have no private cemeteries, ground will
be granted them for burial purposes. These gene-
ral rules will be departed from only in such cases as
are permitted by the pastoral letter. The non-
Catholics can claim the rights of private property
for their cemeteries. The Ministerial circular con-
siders cemeteries in general in the light of ecclesias-
tical property, and not as communal property."
