MIR. GLADSTONE AND TINE Pore.

The topic of greatest interest in the
English papers at present is Mr. Glad
stones pamphlet. The Roman Catho-
lics propose to hold congress" in
London, aud IL is supposed that Mr..
Gladstone's pamphlet on the "Vatican
DEGREES" is in anticipation of this
meeting. and Intended to show that
the claims of the papacy are not alto
gether consistent with national inde-
pendence, and that the syllabus of his
Holiness, Plus the IN, is in direct con-
flict with modern society and national
life. 1t is n reopening of an old ques-
ton. The syllabus is, in fact, but an
old bull called "pastoralis Romani,h
reconstructed and amended, which
claimed the right to cite subjects of all
the sovereigns of Europe out Of their
respective countries to be tried in the
courts In Rome. Thus, in one view,
the reformation meant, simply the
declaration of national Independence
against foreign prince. And this is
the question with which Mr., Glad.
stones pamphlet, so far as it pertains
to politics, is now concerned. He
charges, also, that changes have been
made in the faith. His pamphlet con-
tains eighteen separate charges.
Lord Acton and Lord Camoys, both
Roman Catholics, have written letters
acknowledging that, in the main, the
positions taken in the pamphlet are
correct.
Mr.. Henry Petri, another Roman
Catholic, wrltes to the London Times
asserting to the statements of these
two lords. He says il will be no exng-
Grafton to affirm that among the old
Catholics of England, however 10th
they may be to appear in open oppose
ton to the authority Of their church,
there are many who watch with any
iety, not uumingled with regret, the
reckless and irrational proceedings of
the Ultramontane party, Ii. g, the
party in Italy, party, he says, seek
ing TO impose upon the world, with all
the means of powerful combination at
its command, the astounding claims
issuing from the Vatican--claims long
since supposed to have been extinct,
which now In their resuseitatiJn are
tending to open hostility with modern
progress, and to collision with every
civil authority in Europe.
Monsignor Capel has written II long
letter in reply to MIR. Gladstone. He
thinks that there's notany such state of
affairs rs Mr.. Gladstone would have us
think, and that Lord Acton and Lord

THE need Of good circulating IL
brary is great here. Very few of the
latest and best publications find their
way here. An examination of the
books announced in the New York
Evening Post, or any lirst-classs paper,
followed by u search for them here
will generally result in disappoint-
ment. There are great many very
clever books just out which certainly
ought to reach this public. Whether
1t Is because there is not enough litera-
ny taste here, or enough people who
read and keep themselves well up in
the current literature of the day, the
HERALD will not undertake to say.

literary treasures, and, part from Il
