MOVEMENTS OF Father MATHEW. A New
York letter, remarking upon Father Mathews re-
ception in that city, says
This amgble and unpretendng man appears
quite confused by the homage paid him. Very few
Catholic priests cOnsort with hiTn yet At the Tab
ernaee the other night Protestant olergymen offered
up prayers on the occasion Of his presence, and
went through the ceremonies incidental to the
meeting in the regular Presbyterian style Father
Mathew, however, has a dispensatiOn from the
Pope, which absoves him from all personal ae-
c0unlabity to his religious superOrs, and can,
therefore, associate with PrOtesans, even on sol
emn occasions. Il is curious fact that all his
pecunary embarrassments arose from the purchase
OF Temperance medals, and stationery for pledge
signeFs!
The New York Tribune, Of the 9Th, gives the fol.
lowing as TO the movements of Father Mathew
Throughout the principal portions Of yesterday
the Apostle Of Temperance was engaged in receiv-
ing Populations from various parts Of the country
inviting him to pay their respective cities and towns
Visit, in his tour. A most respectable deputaOn
from Boston waited on the Rev. Father, consisting
Of DR.. J. " G. Smith, Moses Grant, Major Robert
Cawdier, VIM. A, White, and Dr. Charles Marsh,
for the purpose Of inviting him and accompanying
him to that city DeputatioRs were also received
from Newport, Salem, Binghampton, Dayton,
and Albany also, the Mayor and Common Coun-
GU OF brouktgn, ana th6 mayor and Common
Council Of Jersey City waited on him. He visited
the Crot0n Water Works yesterday, and also some
private gentlemen with whom he had been ac-
quainted in Ireland; and in the evening was pres
ent in the City Hall, and witnessed with great de-
light, the relOicings in honor Of the day of lnde-
pehdence, and expressed himself in satisfactory
terms al the general decorum Of the immense as
sembly. This morning several Populations and
viseFs have paid their respects to the worthy gen
tleman, and to-day, in company with Aid Haws

A New York letter Of Thursday evening says {:
Father Mathew will enter upon his work of be-
nevolence and humanity tomorrow. He will oc-
cupy one Of the Catholic churches, for the purpose
Of administering the pledge during his stay here.
lie was highly pleased yesterday with the celebra-
tiOn of our national anniversary, and his eyes
spanked with delight when he saw a volunteer
military company Che Montgomery Guards of his
own cOuntrymen parading the streets. would
not be az all surprised, from the sentiments which
Father Mathew has expressed, if he was to take
up his residence in the United States, and make
this country his future home.
Another New York letter, Of the same date, says
that the health Of Father Mathew is only indifFer-
ent, the excitement being too great for him.
LoRD PALmERsroN ON ROMAN AFFAIRs.-The
British Foreign Secretary has given to the public
copies Of his dispatches to the Marquis of Nor
mandy, on the subject Of Roman affairs and the
armed Intervention for the reastablishment Of the
Pope. A correct idea of the views expressed by
Lord Palmerston may be gathered from dispatch
20 Lord Normandy, dated March q, 1S49:
The British Government is for many obvious
not desirOus Of taking an active part in any
negotiations which may result from the application
which the Pope has addressed to some of the
Catholic powers Of Europe, whose territories are
nearer than Great Britain in geographical proximity
TO the Italian peninsula But the British Gov
eminent will be much grated if the result of those
negotiations should be such reconciliation be-
tween the Pops aud his subjects as might enable
the former, with the free goodwill and consent Of
the latter TO return to his capital and there TO re-
sumo his spiritual functions and his temporal
authority. But il is the opinion of her Majesty:
Government that such a reconciliation could
scarcely be effected, or, if effected for the moment
could never be permanent, unless the basis upOr
which it was founded were to be that the Pope
should engage 70 maintain the constitutional anc
representative system of Government which he
granted last year to his subjects, and unless the
separation between Tie spiritual authority and the
temporal powers and Institutions of the State were
clearly and distinctly established as to put ar
end to those manifold grievances which the mix
ture Of the spiritual with the temporal power ha
for so long period of time produced in the Roman
States. The great Importance of admitting Law
men to administrative and judicial functions in thu
Roman States was pointed out 10 the late Pope By
tue memorandum presented in 1892 to the Roman
Government by the representatives of Au.tria
France, Great Britain, Prussia and Russia, an,
she events which have happened since that time
not only in the Roman States but in the rest o
Europe have tended to make it still more importan
that such reform should be carried out into ful
and complete execution"
