Gentlemen from different sections of

all stacked; oats cut and secured

Many points report a better crop

There is evidence that the wheat

fourth accident that has happened to it on the
Newfoundland side. In the middle of August,
however, a fault in the same cable was discov-
cred at short distance from Valencia Bay.
Ireland. These fractures have not yet been
mended, as the rough weather has prevented
the sailing OF the repair steamer. The 1865
cable, which was picked up in mid ocean,
where il had been lost in the attempt to lay it,
has continued to work uninterruptedly, while
the 1866 has suffered from FIVE mishaps. The
reason assigned for this immunity is, that the
1866 cable was laid in carefully surveyed
channel, while the 1866 cable was laid over
rough sunken rocks, and during unfa'oraole
weather. Had the lost cable of 1865 not been
recovered, the communication between Eng
land and America would have been interrupt
ed sfor q considerable period of time on five
occasions. Surplus cables are stored both at
Hearts Content and Valencia, so as to repair
any fault as soon as possible.

1t is q curious circumstance, that While the
excitement was at its height, the writer
should have left the scene of former triumph
and present conflict, and have embarked
for America. Does he intend to appeal TO
the members of the cis-Atlantic Catholic
Church? or does he intend to escape from
controversy and to remain in retirement
until his protest has been acted upon BY the
General Council? The one supposition may
be as likely as the other; for Father Hya-
cinthe is still q member and an official ofthe
Roman Catholic Church.
Certainly differences of opinion in regard
to subjects which are not yet authoritative
ly decided upon, do not necessitate
schism from that body. The subjects to be
discussed are of momentous Importance,
and the results of the discussion may well
awaken a grave solicitude among the
monarchs and ecclesiastical communities OF
the Old World, where Church and State are
interviewer throughout the social texture.
If the programme of the syllabus is followed,
the DEGREES of the Council will embrace
every subject which connects Christianity
with modern civilization. And, according
to our notions on this side of the water, q
free ventilation of opinions on the part oil
distinguished men of various parties and ma
tionalities, may afford grounds for coming to
wise and salutary conclusions and for pro-
noting more substantial unity than could
otherwise be attained.
