Plus EXPLAINS.
An important speech was made by the pope
recently in the academy to a deputation bearing
PeterS pence. He said that the church invited
her children to defend her against ignorance
and malice Infaibility, if sufficiently under
stood, does not confer power to depose Sovereigns
Popes in former times deposed and dispossessed
soyercignS, not because of the infallibility of
the popes, which only touches matters of doc
trine, but because by the authority then rccog-
Dized in popeS. Deposition or dspossesson was
accepted as a public law. Christian nations
also accepted the pope in those days as a SUI
preme judge. Confounding the present with
the past, in this regard, is done with a bad
faith or with desire to influence the state
against the church. The comments on the de-
cisions of the council he regarded as superflu-
Gus, the text Of those decisions be sufficiently
clear.

sion Of violent shocks, which opened extensive
creVices in the earth. Finally, on May 1, the
level plain near the village of Catarmin began
gradually to subside until the tops of the houses
became level with the surface of the earth. This
remarkable phenomenon attracted large num-
Der OF people, when suddenly some terrific
shocks were felt, and before the laundering re-
verberations had died away the whole level
plain fell in, engulfng $50 persons The plain
became the crater of a volcano, 1900 feet wide,
and from it smoke, ashes and stones were thrown
into the air. A pause until dark succeeded,
when there was another explosion, and q rain
of fire followed. The woods became ignited,
and men and cattle went flying before the flames
The spectacle was frightful in the extreme The
vaicano continues to eject stones and earth
The inhabitants have left the island which
formerly contained a population OF $4,000,
Camaguin produced Of Manila hemp one-tenth
of the whole quantity grown.
