PROGRESS OF CATHoLICITY IN THE
UNITED SrArEs.-We extract the follow
ing from a pastoral of Most Rev. DR..
Lynch, Archbishop of Toronto:
Only eight years after the Declaration of
Independence a colonial inhuman law was
repealed in Albany, N. Y, which enacted
that /" All Popish Priests should be ban
ished the colony" and if they should re-
turn they were to be changed by the neck
until they were dead" the usual ENDOWED
ing following it, which, however, was sell
dom carried out. About that time, accord
ing to the government census, the Catholics
were but as one to two hundred of the
population. We must avow that, owing to
the want of priests and churches, the rising
generation of Irish children scattered
throughout the then United States grew
up uninstructed in their religion; and,
having their national turn for religion,
they Joined other denominations. But,
thank God, in these latter times, owing to
the great numbers of bishops, priests and
religious orders, there are now scarcely
any defections from the Faith. We have
reason to thank Almighty God for the tri-
umph of our Holy Faith for the Catholics
are now one to seven of the population. 1t
is nearer the truth to say one to five. AT
the Declaration of Independence there was
no bishop in the country and but a few
priests. Now there are in the United
States and British North America eighty
two archbishops and bishops, and 5000
priests, and ~, 900 religious of both sexes.
At the Council of the Vatican, the bishops
who governed English-speaking dioceses
had the largest extent of territory, and
were from more distant and various coun-
tries than the prelates of any other lam
guage. If we recoliect rightly they num-
bered l47.

Some weeks ago the newspapers pub
! lished an account, authenticated by seven
or eight gentlemen, some Of whom are
Professionals and Englishmsn, Of q most
diers at the Church uf the Jesuits in Rom Q.
The version of the affair given by these
gentleman was promptly impeached "a in
accurate in several essential particulars by
those veraciOus and impartial scribes who
supply Roman news to the London jour
signatories asserted, for instance, that the
sermon of Father Tommasi, which was
said to have caused the disturbances, con-
tanned nothing that could offend any one.
The Roman correspondent Of the Pail Mall
GGsette, ON the other hand, asserted posi-
lively that the sermon was, from beginning
to end, a tissue of abuse levelled at the
italian Government. 1t appears that, as
might have been expected, DR.. MaZiere
Brady told the truth, and the correspond
emit did not. The Pail Mall GaSette itself
is obliged to admit this, and in its issue of
the 10Th inst, makes the amende in the fol-
loving terms:
Father Tommasi. of the Church of the Gesu,
Rome, complains of a paragraph in our Notes
from Rome" published on the 18th ultimo. In
this letter he is accused of having attacked the
Italian Government. of having used scurrilous
language, and by torrent of invective stirred
up certain members of the Urban Guard to
a breach of the public peace. All this Father
Tornmasi denies. He afirms that there was
nothing in bis sermons WHICH vunld give the
remotest justification for any such charges
and he refers us to various testimony which
leaves us quite without reason to doubt that
our correspondent was entirely misinformed
and in the wrong. We greatly deplore his En-
ror, however he may have been betrayed into
it, and equally regret that we have been the
means of doing any injustice to Father Tom
mast.
Surely, it is not necessary to point the
moral of this little Naturalization.

The Ritualistic party in the Church of
England is stronger than we had thought
1t has always been noisy, but it also has
the strength of numbers. Nine hundred
clergymen have presented a petition to the
Convocation at Canterbury, begging to be
Council in the Mackonochie case. They
have declared that it is intolerable that
they should be forbidden the privileges of
incense, of candles and of genufexion.
They are half right and half wrong. 1t is
peurile in them to doat SO much on those
toys; and it is an outrage that State tri-
bunal should be able to NEEDLE with their
Church affairs, and to box Miss St. Adams
ears for taking her dolls to meeting.-Inde

A blue book lately published gives most
interesting particulars of the taxation per
head of the people of the great political
communities. In the United Kingdom it
is e2 rs. Sd; in France, s2 2s.; in Spain,
Austria and Italy, about 6 Il 5s. in Russia
nearly Ell; in Greece, us. Cd; and in
Turkey, lis. 1Od. The public debt of
France will now be far the heaviest, that
of Englaed next in weight, while those
of all the other European States are mod
crate in comparison; Austria, with three
hundred and twenty-four millions sterling,
coming next after Great Britain with eight
hundred. Switzerland is the favored sis
ter OF the family She alone has no public
debt to burthen her, and the average per
head of her public taxes is only 6s Sd.
The weight of the cost of Government is
thus seven times as heavy upon the British
subject as on the citizen of the Swiss Re-
public. If the dark side of republication
shows 30 vilely in unhappy Paris, the
bright side ia seen in that tranquillittle
State which nestles in the heart OF Europe.
