Singular Religious ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS of
RELIGION

very singular lecture was delivered recent
ly, on religion and civilization generally, by
Orestes Brownson, who is well known as quite
an eccentric philosopher on matters of religion,
philosophy, and every thing else. Mr.. Brown
son expressed the opinion that the civilization of
the present day has grown out OF the influence
and efforts OF the Roman Catholic Church du-
ring the early and middle ages of Europe; and,
also, that any further Improvement aud progress
in society can only be accomplished by the
same church, adapted and modified to the i'm
proved state Of intelligence and philosophy of the
present age.
There is great deal of truth in these views
OF the progress of the Catholic church in the pre-
sent age.
Bishop Hughes, the most noisy Catholic
Bishop that ever sprung up in this country, is
very busy writing a series of letters, and pub
fishing them in weekly journal, in which he is
very severe on all other sects of Christians, and
claims his own church and principles, and his
own opinions, and his own special views TO be
the only true faith of Christianity These
letters, however, are the most shallow
that ever came from Bishop Hughes ;
they are all /" fuss and feathers" of the most
stale description, and would have been only
tolerabe reasoning for monk four or five hun
dred years ago. To give forth these notions at
the present day, about catholicity only shows
that Bishop Hughes is two or three centuries be-
hind the age. Mr.. Brown.on's views are much
nearer the philosophy of the thing but Brown
son il not so certain Catholic Hughes-the
former having been by turns an In6del, Presby-
terrain, Methodist, Baptist, Unitarian, and
now Catholic. Perhaps his next move will be
TO the creed Of Mahomet, or Confucius.
Yet, in spite Of these narrow minded and shall
low epistles, the Catholics as sect, are increas-
ing, and Will continue TO increase, in this coun-
try. Their religion is connected with the fine
arts more than that OF any other society of Chris
tians Music snd painting, and elevated man.
ners, seem to be much more part of the Catho-
lie services than Of the Presbyterian, or such
like bsld-headed sects, who Danish all the fine
arts from their worship of Cod and consider
rags and holiness twin brothers In this coun-
try there great taste for the fine arts-a natural
tasle-as much, probably, considering our age
and all things, as there is in Italy, or the
most refined country in Europe. We have
furnished scllptors and painters, in proper
ton 20 our years, more than any other
country in Ihs world, and artists, too, Of

Italy and the Pope.

We give in our columns, to-day very well
written and interesting letter, which we receiv-
ed by the steamship Acadia, at Boston, from a
distinguished literary American who happened
to be travelling in Italy, at the last dates. We
have also received number of journals, from
different parts of Italy, sent to by the proprie-
tors, requesting the Ne,c York Herald to be sent
to them In exchange. Among these is the Diario
di Roma, the official organ of His Holiness the
Pope, with special request from the proprietors
of that distinguished journal, that we should
send them the Herald containing the best
American news, through France to Rome
We have also received a number of ether Jour
mails, from different parts of Italy, and like
wise our regular private correspondence. But
among the most interesting things we have
received, is an original letter, in the form of
plenary indulgence, signed by the Pope's own
hand, which has been communicated to us by
the Pope's chamberlain, and through the Ameri-
can consul at Rome, by way of gratitude for the
interest which this journal has taken in the re-
generation of Italy, first begun by his Holiness
At the proper time we shall give our readers
some of these curious papers, with fac sin,iis
of the Pope's autograph.
1t appears that the recent proceedings in SYM
duced terrible commotion throughout all Italy
In some of the Italian papers that we have re-
ceived. the address agreed upon at the meeting
at the Tabernacle is published at length, being
copied from the New York Herald. In all quar-
tiers, as will appear by the letter of our private
correspondent at Turin, the sympathy of Ameri-

Our telegraph summary, as usual, will be found
under its proper head. In Congress, the Senate
was principally occupied yesterday, with dis
cussion on the Ten Regiment Bill, Mr.. Bell, of
Tenn, having the floor. In the House, the debate
on the Presidents message wac the engrossing to-
pic. In the Legislature, the days business was
of little i.aportance; the only question which

journment; while the Assemblymen gave but a
slight return of labor for their three dollar day
salary. We have market reports from six CON-

OPERA SQuABBLEs.-We have intelligence from
Boston, communicating to us some of the squab-
bles OF the Opera managers here, and the troupe
they sent to Boston.

who are the responsible managers here? In fact,
the company seem to be squabbing on all sides;
but we hardly think these squabbles are worth
giving to the public.

GENERAL SCoTr AND THE ADMINIsTRATroN.-It
is now generally supposed that the cause for
ordering court of inquiry upon General Scott,
grew out of his disobedlence to the orders of the
Secretary of War, who is constitutionally his
superior
General Scott is, without doubt, strict disc-
pinarian towards all those who are under him,
and who receive orders from him but he may
have forgotten that the principle of obedience
applies much to himself, in his conduct to-
wards his superlors, as from his interiors to-
wards him. The General-in-chief must obey
the War Department., as much as the War
Department must the President, or the off,
GERS obey their superior officers in the field.
1t appears that he has not communicated with
the Secret ry of War for long time, and has
manifested insubordination to the directions
emanatlng from Washington. II this be so, it s
a violation of duty which cannot be overlooked !,
notwithstanding his great military talents in
Mexico.
! Mr. Trist, no doubt, if he has endeavored to
enter into negotiations since his recall, is also
subject to the penalty OF the laws for such an
offence; and there is no question but that the
administration will make both negotiators.
equally amenebe to the laws they have violated,
whether military or civil.
From this view ofthe case, the friends of Gen.
Scott had better wait before they let out all their
sympathy. Much may be said on both sides.
even now, and much may have to be said here
after. Justice will be done to General Scott by
the public and the country, despite of all in
trigues; for as military man, he is one Of the
first of the age. Gen. Taylor is the only man
who surpssses him in moderation, dignity, mill
tary skill, and comprehensive propriety of cha.
