THE GERMAN CATHOLICS OF LoNDoN.-The
Archbishop of Westminster preached on Sun
day ct the Catholic Church in Union street.
Whitechapel, London, the congregation of
which chiefly consists of German families. The
occasion was the opening of convent of Ger
man INNS, who have come to London to help
to teach the Catholic poor and it was also the
feast of st. BOniface, an Epglishman, who in
the Saxon times proceeded TO Germany, and
had the chief part in converting that country
to Christianity.
The Archbishop, having given the earliest
part of the sermon to q devotional subject, ad-
dressed some remarks to the congregation as
Germans. He dwelt upon the fact that, though
they were nation sprung from different stocks,
vet those whom he addressed were united by
the bond of one faith. He then gave n sketch
of the life and labOrs of st. Boniface, and, re-
ferring to the work to be done in London, he
urged on all to help the pastor; and also the
nuns who had come to teach the poor children.
According to the German custom, all Joined at
times in the music, which was very impressive,
especially during the TIE Deun. The Arch
bishop, baviug blessed the convent, admins
tered confirmation. There is connected with
this church society of young men to help the
charities of the mission and to assist their fell
low country en arriving ia LVAaSi0ns

CATmOLIC EDCCATIoN.-A corrrsuondeDt
draws our attention 10 a circumsf ance which is
perfectly true, although IL may cause Some
little disturbances Of spirit to Lord Harrowby,
public in general, and the English press in
particular, he Whites, ID always saying or in
sinaatinR that the ed@eation received by~Ca-
tholics Is not suitable to the wants of the age,
and that q religiousfy brought up Catholic, or
one who really believes and acts according to
the tenets Of his faith, 10 not man suited to
bear the brynt Of lies battle. Yet what IL the
paper of which noms of the leading reporters,
and one or more ~ the chief persons on its
staf, IRE not Catholics In PHsck one, in FkR
two, IN the 41HdhatVk three OF the chief Weiters
arc Catholics. There IL not magazine pub
Hshed in london II which one or more Of tho
contributors are not Catholics; and the lead
ing burlesque writer of the day belongs to the
same Church. Al the Horse Guards one Of the
assistant adjatant generals, and also the dep

tholic families, and are themselves good Catho-
Gcss IN the city there ara Catholics at the
head of many mercantile concerns; and in the
Inns of Court there are, in proportion to our
numbers, more Catholics than men of any
other creed amongst the rising baFristers of
the day. Considering that the proportion of
Catholics to nom Catholics in England Is as one
to twenty, these numbers certainly do not
show badly for US. But. our correspondent
might have gone further, and might have said
with truth that ut the London University, the
arIiys civil service, and legal examinations, or
wherever the students of our Catholic colleges
compete with other lads, we have hitherto
ticsl account of tho reaulta Of examinations as
regards our English CethOiie colleges would

The PRosELYTERs.-At the present time the
Protestant sects are very busy in sending
millions of tracts and thousands of Bibles,
with ministers and their nursery trains, TO con-
vert Spain. According to the following i'm
partial testimony, they might be better
employed at home:
While the poor of London are neglected and
starving, thousands of pounds are spent in
sending out missionaries to the heather abroad,
and the benefit therefF0m goes entirely TO tho
missionary in the shape Of money. But at this
present time nggerss with. their flannel
yestcits and moral pocket handichers are as o
discount. The religious market in Spain has
"riz,R and the sanetimonious hypocrites who
irnwl aud drone at Exeter Hall, and drown
their grief at the Exeter Hotel, have under
taken the regeneration of Catholic country
by employing q fsw apOatates and sending
over cargoes Of Bibles and tracts. But the
SPaniards arc Catholic to the core, that is to
say, the people are Catholic, and we can no
more judge the Catholic people by their iniidel
governors and tyrants than we can Judge of
the faith of IrcianG's people by Dublin Castle
or the orangemen of Belfast.

The MARTYRS OF PoLAND.-Oar readers may
recollect that we announced some time ago the
violent deportation by the Russian Government
of Mgr. Lubieuski, Bishop of Augusbowa, for
refusing to commit an act of schism. The
CFirers says:
His destination was Perm, on the frontiers
of siberia, and we now have to announce the
sad intelligence of tho denth of this venerab bio
confessor. The news arrived at Warsaw ON
Berg to his family. Mgr. Lubienski was ill at
the time of his arrest but utterly regardless
of such detail, Gen. Moller allowed of no de-
lay in the execution of his orders. The indis-
position of the Bishop, aggravated doubtless
by the fatigues of his forced journey, increased
until he arrived at Niini-Novgorod, when he
became quite unable to proceed, and after
three days expired. History repeats ITSELF and
the wonId-he successor of the Greek Emperors
has contriyed to reproduce the closing scene of
st. John ChrysOstom's career. 1t is reported
that the venerable Bishop of Zitomer has also
been arrested, as we'll rs several members of
the Lubienskf family, so that one Bishop alone
remains in Poland. In Volhynia no sermon is
allowed to be preached without the previous
authorization Of the police, which is frequently
Polish prayer-books, and contains u list of
saints forbidden 10 lie honorcd or even named
in the divine service In Lithuania thirty-one
churches have been closed. 4 fine of ten rou-
bles Gel 1Gs.) is imposed for baptzing, n boy
and five roubles for baptizing girl; but il the
parents allow the child to be baptized by the
schismatieal Pope" they receive .ratuity of
twenty-five ronblcs (-ea,) Such is the Musco-
Kite apostolate.

= A SENSIBLE BIsHoP.--ThO Archbishop of
York is q sensible man of the world. At re-
cent meeting at Sheffield he reminded the
clergy of tho Church of England that they
had no business to MIX themselves up with the
Disestablishment discussions, aIld~that- what
ever may be the Issue of this contest, they
have to deal only with the everlasting Church
of Christ.
& Very good advice. But suppose his Grace of
York were deprived of his princely revenues,
would he be resigned not 30 ''mix" in the ques-

prosecution OF the latter, in the SANDER case
of Collins VS.. billiard. Mr.. Leake read the
challenge aloud to the Court, and Mr. billiard
was bound over in the sum of $500 to appear

SOMETHING REMARKABLE-We are not
cularly given to believing or circulating
the marvellous. but when circumstance comes
to US supported by unquestionabe authority,
we are bound TO give it credence, although it
may seem contradictory in itself We are
led to these reflections by an incident related
to us during the past week by Col. Robt. w.
Baylor. The Col had avery fine horse-a
heavy animal-which was turned out with
others of his team, to Craze in one of his pas
ture fields The next morning the rest OF the
horses were found on terra trina all right
and sound, but the favoritc horse, the best
on the farm, was missing. Diligeut search,
however, soon disclosed his nose and ears,
above the ground, the remainder of his body
being buried beneath the eartl's surface --the
dirt having closed in some places 10 depth
of two feet above his back. The c0pclusion
at once reached, was, that the horse bad fallen
in sink hole, and means were devised for his
extrication. Digging irons and picks were
brought into requisition, and the earth thrown
from around him. The digging disclosed no
cavity in the ground, but for the full depth
to which the animal had sunken, solid rcd
clay, made harder by the late drought, had to
be dug through aud yet there were no indica-
tions of sink. Capt. Il. says that he dis
likes to narratc the story, so incredible does
it seem.

VIM. II. Moore, for bushel oil the finest
potatoes we have seen this season, which for

and if they had been at some Of the various

were of the calico variety, species introduced
in our county within the past few years.

dent to time and circumstances, it has remain
ed the same for near a quarter of century,
and to day it is established upon a basis as
enduring as any similar establishment in the
country. The senior of the house, Mr.. Du-
vail, is an intelligent gentleman. who has had
much to do with the business Of the city, as
a member Of its council, and it is safe to say
that no man has enjoyed more UNFINISHED
reputation for strict probity. Mr. 1glchart is
n quiet, unobtrusivc business man. but not
the less mcrtorious because of his reticent
demeanor. Connected with this house, and
worthy of his position, is our Young friend,
Mr.. Jas Mich. Mcclure, SO well known to
