and which appeared in the Times of the 3lst

Sir-I have read to-day for the first time, in

account of an audience which was supposed

report you have been mi51ed for there is not a

expect then, that you will do me the justice to
publish my disayowal to your readers. Re
ceiYe, etc., H. CARDINAL BoNHECHOSE,
Archbishop of ROuen.
Rome, the 2lst of December.
THE ENIrERoR ASD-THE CoUNcn.-We have
frequently heard, through Protestant sources,
that the French Emperor was inimical to the
dogma of the Pope's infallibihty, and that in
the event of its being formally declared, his
Majesty would at once recall the French am
bassador and withdraw the troops now at
Civita Vecchia. To show the baselessness of
these copjectures, we give the following from
the Weekly Register, for which it vouches, hay-
ing been furnished to it by gentleman who
was present when the conversation took place:
few days ago the Emperor was talking
with one of the Corps Diplomatique, when the
latter made an observation respecting the
Council and the Bishop of Orleans. " The
DOGMA" said the Emperor, ais the affair of
the Church; what the Bishops decide in the
Council all Catholics will have to accept"
trines of Papal Infallibility make q schism in
the Church 7" Certainly not" was the an
swer of the Emperor, "there will be no more
of schism in the event of the lnfalliblllty
being proclaimed dogma, than when the I'm
maculate Conception was proclaimed, and the
one will be just as binding as the other upon
the Church all over the world. But it is the
affair of the Bishops, and not of any one else I;
it does not concern any European Government
in the slightest degree"
THE EPIPHANY IN RoME.-On the 9th inst,
the Feast of the Epiphany, special services
were held at the Church Of st. Andrea della
Vale, in Rome. Masses said during the
morning by bishops of the Latin, the Greek,
the Armenian, the Chaldean, the Syrian, the
Maronte and the Coptic rites and, during the
Octave, sermons were preached by preIates or
priests in every known tongue. The Arch
bishop of Westminster, the Archbishop of Bal
timore, the Bishop of Kerry, and the Bishop
of Richmond were selected to preach in Eng
lish, and the Bishops of La Rochelle, of Poitiers
and of Nismes to preach in French
TENDER MERCIEs OF THE BRITISH POLICE
We find the following statement in the Pail
Mall Gazette What would be said if, instead
of happening under British rule, these cruel
ties had taken place in some 'tPopish' country,
in which Catholics are supposed to have
power?
The relations between the police and the
public in Upper Sindh appear to be of I'M
pleasant character, if we may judge from an
account given by the Indian papers of the
means lately employed by that body to extract
information from man accused of murder.
The prisoners legs, we are told, were muffled
with cloth stepped in oil, and the police then
set fire to the wrappings. Nothing, however,
can have exceeded the attention paid to the
criminal when a confession had been obtained
nv q carried
medical officer, who amputated his limbs that
his life might be saved, i'll order 3hat he mi ght
be subsequently executed at the same time
we would counsel a little moderation of zeal in
future.
A RELIABLE commemorative see it
stated in one of our English exchanges that
the especial correspondent" of the London
Times in Rome is a certain Anglican clergyman
who some twenty odd years ago became Ca
tholic, and three four years later returned
to the Established Church. When we mention
the old story, that this gentleman became
Catholic TO annoy his first wife, and turned
Protestant to spite his second most English
Catholics will know to whom allusion is made
and what reliance can be placed on his state
ments.
., POWER OF EXAMrLE.-One,O of the most emf
nent converts ever received into the Catholic
Church said the turning point in his CONVEX
sion visiting the Convent of the Coco
Shepherd at Hammersmith, and seeing how
ladies, born of some of the Oldest Catholic
families in England, devoted themselves to thi
work. -
Of de,-nest.-Fhe rules were suspend
ed for the passage of the two resolutions, on
to procure the aid of the State in constructing
protection levee and the other to wait oil
the Mayor and ascertain his views about issu
ing proclamation for a municipal election il
