Ministry with having violated the Constita-

law OF the land. He has succeeded there,

Under date of j une 9Th correspondent
writes to the Tablet from Vienna thus :...
The procession here ON Corpus Christi
was solemnized by the Catholics in the
usual splendid manner, being favored also
with beautiful weather. The Emperor
followed the procession, but the Empress
was absent from indisposition.a
In every diocese in the Austrian Empire
the Bishops are holding conferences with
their clergy about the CONGRESSIONAL laws"
and the position which they are to take in
reference to them. Thank, God, tho entire
clergy of Austria are resolved, come what
may, to obey the Church and never to sub
nit to the requirements of the uu- Christian
modern State. This resolution ia most
annoying for the Government which, since
the confessional laws were Published, has
already had ample grounds of conviction
that 1t has been completely misled as to
the intention of the Austrian clergy. I
know as positive fact that the entire
Ministry accepted the mistaken opinion of
and Ecclesiastical Affairs, who asserted
that the Austrian Bishop and clergy, when
confronted with the alternative either to
submit and be let alone, or to obey the
Church and have war with the State,
would accept the first, and give in. This
making it's consequences apparent in
fact, nobody in the Empire, at the present
moment, is more mistaken than are our
wise Ministers themselves, who with all
their political prudence have got them
selves into labyrinth out of which there

SUNDAY CLOSING MOVEMENT IN GALWAY. I
The Vindicator, Of the 18th June, says:
The Eicar-General and the clergy of the

The Sunday closing movement in Galway.
Only two or three houses were open on last
Sunday; and we understand very few
persons patronized them. There are over
'ne hundred public houses in the city and

speaks volumes for the influence of the
clergy that at their instance, the proprie-
