teaching or to quit the establishment. Aat

has been formed in Frauenburg (Eastern
Prussia) to enable the Catholic students,
who are most of them in humble circum-
stances, to continue their education. In
Prussia the anti Cathoiic press is some
what less viruient in tone, and tire higher
powers are said to be cooling in their sup
port of the schismatics. The change is not,
however, apparent in the way matters are
managed in reference to educational affairs.
The case of the Nuns at Rohlfeld Diocese
of Munster) is illustrative of the present
position of affairs. Theirs is teaching
order, and the Nuns have always passed
most creditably through the different ex-
aminations aud inspections required by
Government. They have a great number
of schools in Bas Rim under their care;
and the Government has repeatedly ack-
nowledged their marked success in their
management of the children, while they
have everywhere gained the esteem and
confidence of the parochial authorities. All
at once, without any reason assigned, a
ukase issues from Berlin, that the good
Nuns are to be employed no longer. 1t is
regarded by Catholics as blow at Cath
olicism in two ways: First, the active or
ders must 5000 die out if they are to be de-
MED the liberty of working in the sphere
prescribed by their rule. Secondly, the
schools themselves must suffer, there being
no other available teachers SO we'll quail
fed as the Religious, or possessing the con-
fidence of parents in any degree compar
able to them.
The cold Catholics "(P)-On the first
Saturday and Sunday in August the Sec
taries who pretend to the name of Old Ca
tholics held preliminary meeting at
Heidelberg with view to a congress in
September. Their great preoccupation ap-
pears to be the creation of some kind of
Won Schultz, of Prague, in which he
promises that at the congress he will en-
deavor to prove that the new dogma has
entirely destroyed the organization of the
church. Mr.. Anton, of Vienna, inquired
whether the German leaders meant to con-
fine themselves to opposing one dogma, or
intended to introduce further reforms.
Some gentlemen from Canton Aargan, in
Switzerland, spoke as might be expected in
the same advanced sense and they were
eventually satisfied by being referred to
DR.. Dollinger's favorable reply to the Hun
garian address, which is very candid, as to
the innovations it contemplates. Mr.. Beck,
of Heidelberg, however, thought that the
main point was to separate from the Pope,
and that reconstruction might come after |
wards. The congress is to be held at
Munich, is to last three days, and there are
to be both public and consultative sittings. (
1t was announced that another congress |
would be held in Switzerland.-Tablet.

We extract these facts from a correspond
ence in the Unirers. They serve to show
the hatred of these imported ruifians
against religion, and that it is not only or
even principally the temporal power which
is the object of their hospitality. While
on this subject we may notice an extraor-
binary instance of ignorance in the en-
lightened Press. The Steele is astonished
and scandalized that there should still be
solemn functions and religious PROFESSIONS
in France on the 18th August. 1t is naively
ignorant that the solemDity of the Church's
functions on that day refers to the Feast of
the Assumption, and not to that of the
Emperors Patron Saint, a feast which, as
one would nave thought everybody knew, |
Napoleon I. obtained permission to have
in France on the same day
with the greater festival.
