[" MONTREAL WEEKLY WITNESS COMMERCIAL REVIE \u201cCORRESPONDENCE.A KOMAN CATHOLIC ON INFALLIBIL- TY, (To the Fdator\u201d ot the Witness.) Sig\u2014I have to thank your correspondent \u201cM.BR.\u201d for the courteous style of his letter in reference to the communication which ap peared from me in your edition of Aug.8.1 am bound in justice, however, to say, that had it been his intention to hit as widely as ble from the mark, ho could not have nD Deore successful.He appears to imagine that I and others are \u201cexercised\u201d us to the weaniog of Papal lufallibility ; and in order to enlighten wr, proceeds to give us an explanation of what it «loss not, and what it does mean, taken from 4 tact, entitled \u201c Infallibility in a Nutshelt\u201d Now, for my part, | have never experienced any doubt sa to its meaning.1t is terribly plain to my mind.The definition has only to be read to be understood.It has that merit at any rate.But \u201cM.R\u201d has entirely ignored the fact that_ objected to the obligation of the decree, «on the grounds of the want of vuanimity in the Oouncil, and the informalities attendant vn its promulgation.He has also made no reference whatever to the disastrous conse- juences which Archbishop Darbey and Ur, Newman predicted would flow from ft affirmation, and which have been fully confirmed by the course of events since.But, most astounding of all, I ask for information © of any work by an approved Rowman (\u2018atholic writer, prremous to the last twenty-five years\u201d and he ro- fers me to one written reithin the last tivo years, 1 had a particular object in making that enquiry, which will appeur in due time.1 am well awure that several works have been written duriux the Isst ten or twenty years, sdvocating the new dogma : but 1 desire to ascertain how many, if auy, can be produced of + date anterior to twenty five years.so much for our friend * M.R\" Now, sir, with your permission, T wish to! tate that, ax = Roman Catholic, I uot only | \u201cdeny the force of the dogma on the consciences | of the faithful, but I aftirm that it isan utter | impossibility ever to make it an article of Iaith.I will now give the definition itself, and then the reasons why it cannot be made an article of faith.THE DEFINITION.+ Therefore, faithfully adbering to the tra dition derived from the commencement of the Christian faith.to the glory of God our Saviour, t the exaltation of the Catholic religion, and to the salvation of Christian nations, sacro approbante Concilio, wo teach and define that it is a divinely revealed dogma that the Homan Pontiff, when he speaks ez -athedra, that is, when in discharge of his offive of Pastor and Doctor of all Christians, he defines, in virtue of his Supreme Apostolic authority, a doctrine of faith or morals to be held by the universal Church, is endowed by the divine assistance promised to bim in blessed Peter, with that infallibility with which our divine Redecmer willed that the Church should be furnished in detining dnc- trines, of faith or morals ; and, therefore, that wach definitions of the Roman Pontiff are irrefore mable of themselves, and not in virtue of the con wnt of the Church.« But if any (which may God avert) shall yresume to contradict this our definition, let him be anathema \u201d Ass Roman Catholic, then, I object to the abcve definition, because it teaches a mew doctrine ; and new doctrines are absolutely inadmissible amongst us, as I shall now prove.bt.Vincentof Lerinain bin treatise against hercaies, says: \u201cIt Dever was, is, or will be lawful for Catholic Christiana to teach any dootrine, except that which they once received ; and it ever was, is, and will be their duty to condemn those who do s0.\"\u2014( Milner, p.87) The above is an axiom which bas been universally acknowledged as the true test to apply in all cases.For, as Origen says, we are not to desert our Ars ecclesiastical iradi- not to believe otherwise than as the Churches of God have, in their perpetual suc- vession, delivered to us.\"\u2014(M., p.86) The celebrated Tertullian says : \u201c That doctrine 1s evidently true which was first delivered ; on the contrary rAat is false which is of « later date.\u201d \u2014(M., p.83) The learned Dr.Milner, in his \u201cEnd of Coatroversy,\u201d says : \u201c When any fresh controversy arises in the Church, the fundamental maxim of the Bishops and l\u2019opes, to whom it belongs to decide upon it, is, not to consult their own private opinion or interpretation of Scripture.but to inquire what is and ever Aes boom the doctrine of the Church concerning it.Hence, their cry ls, and ever has been, on such occasions, aa well in council as out of it: \u2018 Bo we have received;

became alarmed.In order to allay \u2018this ferment the Pope haa endeavored, in virtue of hin plenary infallibility, to cxpisin it in such à sense as not to claim the power of deposing kings.He admits that Popes assumed to do this in other days, but merely, he affirme, in the way of arbitration.His | logic limps far bebind bis rhetoric.But what | need of reasoning has a person inspired with infallibility?We cannot expect that one en- } dowed with wings will walk on terra firma like ordinary mortals.This new doyma of infallibility, suspended somchow, like Ma- homets coffin, between heaven and earth, keeps all Europe in a state ot suspense.Like a new body introduced into the planetary system, it is a disturbing agency that introduces universal disorder, .If we turn to the New World its results are , here hardly lese disastrous, The American clergy are almost without exception Ultra montane.The Romish organsopealy declare \u2018the superiority of the spiritual to the civil | power fo the old Romieh sense : that in, that - the Pope, as the infallible head of the Church, y is euperios in authority to the State ; s0 that in any conflict of jurisdiction, his commands should be obeyed in preference to the laws of \"the land, Here we have a State within a State, New York has been called a foreign city: but, according to this, all consistent Romaniata are | foreign subjects.Bo far from being American citizens, they cannot, according to this doctrine, become so much as American subjects.| They have one king\u2014ven the Pope.To make good citinenn they must be bad Romanists, If

sorry to learn from the last financial statement, that the ayatem, aa they carried it on, was not regarded an à success, It «did not pay large dividends, crat, it is this intolerable arrogance of the Ro.manlets themselves that will force that issue upon them.Their insane presumption was hardly exceeded vy that of the slavcholders, It would seem as if a judicial blindness and fnfatnation had fallen upon them.Here ju Canada the dogma has borae fruit ; and by its fruits we can judge of it.They are handily grapes or The party of the Pros aramtuists had everything ready cut and dried that cong ust,

The doctrine of the Programine has pot been disavowed.It is menly reserved for more auspicious times.On the whale, se far from the dogma of infallibility being un abstract theological question, affecting only ecelesing.tion, it in fraught with the most important political consequences, FOR THE I'REVENTION OF CRUELTY To ANIMALS, Amongst the excellent institutions that Canada is copying from Riituin, is that of the Society for the Irevention of Cruelty to Ani- wals.This good example bas been but lately followed, however.If we mistake not, the Montreal Kociety of that name was the first efthe kind to be formed in the Dominion.And yet it was not that such protection to animals was not as much needed here as elsewhere.Witnessthe shamefully crucl manner in which sheep, calves and poultry were brought to our own market, and witness how cattle were frequently ovendriven thither, and sometimes barbarouxly used in the public streets ; to say pothing of the often-recur- ring, isolated acts of cruelty towards horses in working them when sore under the hare uess, and in unmercifuily beating them.It was these cases, observed by hamane persons in our own community, which determined a few of the latter to form a society such as we now speak of.It has been in operation about three years, and has worked a marvellous and gratifying change.The law in the premises has been amended and made to meet the res quirements of humanity in this respect, The feelings of spectators are no longer harrowed ucar the markets, nor on board steamers or railway cars, by otwerving the needless suffering dumb creatures : while the cases of cruelty in the working of horse have renaibily diminished.Could these animals speak, they have reason to thank this Society and the Christian spirit which prompted its organisa tion.Incident on improved legislation in this respect, and the representations of this Society, the Grand Trunk Railway Company no longer crowd cattle on their trains as formerly, and these creatures are supplied with abundance of water and proper attendance.The conse quence has been, that these cattle cargoes no longer arrive with more or less of their number dying or dead.and meat from such cattle is no longer liable to find its way to the shambles.Bat the good done by this Society is wide reaching as well as precise.Whilst our city carters have a wholesome fear of the vigilance of the Society's agent, the Aabitans and drivers from the country generally are becoming careful not to incur the penalty which crtielty or sheer ignorance may render them liable to.Indeed, thi Society has done much to educate these people in the proper usage of horses ; and practices which formerly would bave gone unchallenged by themselves, are happily becoming more and more rare, The Society has also checked the practice of stealing birds\u2019 nests, aud the wanton shooting of insectivorous birda.What ix now wanted in, to multiply these societies, so that their benefits both to man and beast may be as wide as the Dominion itself.It was, perhaps, likely that the Commercial Capital, Montreal, in beibg the mont lively seat of our activities, as well as the scene whereon s0 many of these abuses showed themselves most prominently, should be fore.moat in this reform, But it is especially desirable that the Legislative Capital should, with.ont delay, have a society which is being per.manentiy wrought into our institutions, and the spirit of whose regulations has been incorporated into our laws.We trust that this purpose will mect with the warm encouragement and co-operation of the public of Ottawa.In thus befriending the brute creation, they will befriend them.sclves.The individual who wouid act barbarously towards hin beast, would hardly hesitate to do bodily violence to his neighbor.The true standard of A nation's character is less of an intellectual nature than of a moral ove.Humanity to our fellows ix closely akin to kindlinces towards the dumb creatures, over which the Maker of all has placed man rather as the guardian than a the tyrant, « The merciful man is merciful to his beset,\u201d it has been divinely declared ; and the Father of Mercies will doubtless bless every endeavor for the protection of hin creatures, that are intended to be our servants, and not our abused and despined slaves.INFALLIBILITY, It is not a little singular that the firat fruits of the doctrine of Papal Infallibility sheuld be overtures in the way of compromise, made to excommunicated schismatics.Yet the German papers declare that Dr.Von liœllinger has been sounded by the emisearies of the Pope, who wish him to modify his views, The Romish Court, and the Jesuits generally, are alarmed at the extent of the schism, They do not wish todrive him to extremity, The Pope bas even cxpressed a kindly interest in the ex.commupicate heresiarch, and signified à wish toncc him.We cannot say that these efforts have met with much success.The worthy Doctor is simply amused, and expresses his surprise that the Pope manifests such an ju- terest in his body when he has excommuni.ented hiasoul.It would strike one of the uninitiated as a strange sort of infalllbility that is open to compromise and can admit of modification, It is certainly an inconvenient attribute for SOCIET its possessor, It was easier to get the title to it than to support the dignity itself in suitable style, It brings him only dificulties, It pute him in false relations with everybody.From the cost of keeping it up, bets likely yet tw become bankeupt, The Frellinger party see the advantage Kiveu them by their adversarice vecupylng such an unteuable position.y, on the contrary, have planted themselves on moderate aud vale ground.They have taken the name of the + Old Catholic Party,\u201d and claim that it ie the Pope and the majority of the Council who have forsaken \u201cthe only true Church.\u201d The Bavarian who do not Gaver the Ultra montane party, refuse to have anything to do with Homish envoys.The question is one that concernu the Theologians, and where the State is called on to maintain a dignitied neutrality.This leads to the virtual separs- tion of Church and State.Aud so the Catholic Church in Germany is most scriously endangered by the absolute non-interference of the Government, Meanwhile, though the ignorant peasantry may support the priesthood, there have been important anti-Fapal demonstrations made by cuthusiastic students andothers.We do not wonder, then, that an effort is made by the wily Italians to bridge over the schism.They wonld giaily otfer an act of oblivion and comprehension.And the supreme Poatiff, by virtue of hin very intallibility, can explain away anything, as having been intended simply in & non-natural sense, All this shows the foresight of Baron Von Beust, who spoke as follows to a celebrated American some three years ago :\u2014 \u201cThis declaration of infallibil\u2019ty scems to you simply ridiculous, I dare say ; but I as sure you that it causes the gravest fears to arise in our minds, We foresee results which possibly you have not dreamed of, and these results will change the political, as well ag the religious condition of Europe,\u201d AMERICAN PROTECTION.We do not wonder that the French are slow and careful to ascertain \u201c the lay of the land,\u201d before they return to Protection, The results of the system in America are not entirely satisfactory.They have indeed accomplished woundera in paying off tiie national debt ; but with what a terrible strain on all the iudustrial interests of the country! AIN branches of manufactures have been protected to death.There is danger that the result of keeping up the war tariff will be, to kill the goose that lays the golden ogg.The complaints of the working of the system are no louger confined to the Went or Routh; they come chictly from the East, The outcry mised is not so mach from the agricultural classes, as from the manufacturers thempelves.The \u201cduties\u201d that were intended to build them up, as was claimed, at the expense of other intervsts, prove their ruin, and, by a meet retribution, only build up Canadian manufactures, In illustration of this, we nved only cite one or two branches of business that are reduced to a state of rnin and decay.\u201d American shipping, it is well known, is & thing of the past.The cost of shipbuilding is fully 100 per cent wore than it was & few years ago.Hardly a plank can be laid ot nail driven without some new exaction.Protection here, in fact, ameunts to prohibition.A Maine ship, as now constructed, is a mere shell, an apology for a ship, fitted out only to reach the British Provinces to be completed.If we turn from Maine to Massachusetts, we find that their industrial interests fare no better.Lest our readers suppose we exaggerate, we leave the Boston Post to state the case of the rhoe manutacturers.They \u201cdemand tle total abolition of all protective duties so styled.\u201d Thin interest, it seems, employs more laborers than any other in the country, and, the Jost says, + It bax stood silently by, while certain interests have been fostered and strengthened by special legislation ; has witnessed the decay of foreign markets, and the falling off in the general consumption of its products ; and now it makes its open demand for fair piay, by the entire removal of obstructions aud abuses that shelter themselves under the protection theory\u201d IS THE CHOLERA COMING?\u2018Thin is un enemy for which we ought to be prepared, if it is on its death march towards us.The rumors concerning its Western progress are particular, and appear credible.Famine breeds pestilence : and the statement in made, on apparently good authority, that it originated in Persis and ie taking the course it before followed three several times.Itis even said to have passed through Russia, and to have reached Poland and Pomerania.The Times says, if the reports received from every quarter are accurate, this terrible epidemic is approaching England by itsaccustomed track.Medical science bas established the fact that cholera may be prevented, or greatly moderated in its frightful sisughter, Ly timely precaution, The only effectual antidote is cleanliness, Prevention is better than cure ; and to be forewarned is to be forearmed.The disease, If not always curable, is absolutely preventible.If proper precautions were everywhere taken, it would never again become an epidemic.Prudential measures and a strict quarantine might prevent its reaching the city.All should, however, attend to cleanliness, which is next to godliness.These fearfu) epidemics are caused by a violation of natural laws; and the results of disregarding the most obvious lawa of health, are stall times disastrous enough, one should suppose, without needivg to wait for the approach of pestilence to enforce them.We do not wish to act the of alarmints, But it is always best to be beforchand with an ehemy, and, in order not to be taken by surprise, to ascertain when and how he may proach na.Now, It seems to be generally taken for granted that if cholera should come to Montreal it will travel hither by way of New York, We see no positive ground for thie presumption.We arte commercial- _ Avuusr 25, 1871.T ST - \u2014\u2014 SEE ly nearer England by unbroken communication than New York is.Montreal la, we suppose, the second port in America for the arrival ot immigrants from Britain, Ireland and the continent of Europe.What, then, is to hinder the disesse in question from making its a) pearance here, even befure its steps are seen in New York ?Let tho city authorities, and also private individuals, act upon the idea that the enemy will, if ho assall un at ull, come direct op our water-way of the Gulfand River 8t.Lawrence.Many seem to bave the habitual feeling (bat Montreal is an inland city, Geographically 6 is so, but practically 10 is ax truly à sesport as in New York or Halifax, Once more, then, we say, lot the authorities and others look st the matter in this light, and act acconlingly.They aro waking up in New York to the importance of apeedy action in the promises, with # view of cleansinse every precinct of the Let us do the same.The possible gravity of the occasion will more than justify any disturbance to ancient uncleanness, or time-honored insalu- brions conditions ef any kind.Let the foul and ntagnatibg surface waters be in every case quickly drawn off, and prevented from agin sccumulating, and let the dally refuse and every caysn of offonce be completely removed, or carrivd away to some proper recep tacle.The following from the Tribune goes to correborate what we havo just said :\u2014 Cholera, it is clearly proved, has nover been brought to America except by ships.Early in 1832 the brig # Carrick,\u201d with emigrants from England, arrived at Quebec Forty-two of the passengers had died of cholera.on the voyage, and the disease broke out in 0 severe epidemic form at Quebec on the 6th of June, By the 10th it had travelled up the St.Lawrence to Montreal, and soon reached Detroit.In the latter part of June the shi \u201cHenry IV.\" arrived at New York with cholera patients, and the discaso appeared in the city by the 24th, It soon apread up the Hudson River, joined the Canada trail, and was quickly carried to the West, During the second epidemic fn Europe, it.1848, two vessels sailed from Havre, wher: cholern prevailed ; one, the «New York,\" for New York, and the other the \u201c Swanton,\u201d fo New Orleans.Both contained large number- of German emigrants.(Um one the cholera appeared when sixteen days out, with fourteen deaths ; on the other in twenty-six days, with thirteen deaths.The \u201c New York\" arrived at Staten Laland, December 2, 1848, and a severe epidemic broke out, but was confined to the Quarantine Grounda.The \u201c wanton\u201d arrived at New Urleans, Dec.Li : no quarantine was instituted, and in two days patient: were taken into the Charity Hospital.This war the beginning of a severe epidemic which increased in power all winter, till in June, 1849, 2,500 died of it in New Orleans Dec.20, 1848, it reached Memphis, by ateam- boat from New Orleans, where for 25 days it was confined to the landing-piace, but then spread.In the spring it was carried to St.Louis and Cincinnati and the whole Missia- sippi Valley.In October it reached Sacramento.by means of overland emigrants, and almost at the mame time by the United States steamer \u201cNortherner,\u201d from Panama.The Chinese of California suffered most severely.In the latter part of 1853, cholera was brought to Liverpool, aud prevailed during that winter all through England.In the fol.towing fall, cholera ships came in great numbers to New York : in Ugtober alone, 28 infected ships arrived with 1,141 cases, and the disease became epidemic at Staten Island Quarantine, but seemed to die out during the winter.In the spring, other vessels gave it a start, and it spread fo the large cities, the epidemic actually breaking out in Detroit an Chicago before it did in New-York, where the In October, 1865, the steamer \u201cAtlanta\u201d brought cholera from Hav to New-York.It was also brought by the steamers \u201cEngland\u2019 \u2018and «Virginia.\" Theout- break of the disease on Ward's\u2019 Hart's, Governor's, and Tybee Islands began with \u201cAtlanta\u201d gern, The Gazette de Police of St.Petersburg, commenting, om the 2ind of June, npon the increase iu the number of cases which had ther occurred, and which has grown into a formidable recrudesence of the epidemic, states that the disessc was becoming aggravated, particularly ameng the men employed in the river navigation and among excavators, and gives directions respecting the preparation of warm food and of better shelter for them.emigrants landed, Inpvoxnr Ixroukrancs.\u2014 The spirit of riotous intolerance in the State of New York.against free speech and action in matters more or less connected with the Church of Rome, seems to be becoming unbearable.An anti-Catholic lecturer, s Baron de Camiu, ssici to have formerly been a Catholic priest, Lax been mobbed at Ogdensburg and hindered from lecturing\u2014being saved probably from fata! violence only by the Horta of the police.On à second evening, instead of entering the Hall where be was to have lectured, be bad to be conducted by the police to their head-quarters for protection.Sul uentiy a large number of citizens were untarily sworn in as special constables, and with their assistance tLe streets were cleared, and the lecturer was escorted to his bourding-bouse.This bas created an intense feeling against the mob, who certainly have reckoned without their host if they imagine that American citizens will tamely submit to have the right of free discussion curtailed in the least, even though the poiut should be the tendet one of errors and abuses in anyways connected with & Church that practically demands an immunity from outside criticism.In the light of the assaults on Murphy in England, to say nothing of others of à simfiar nature both there and on this side of the Atlautic, it is becoming evident that the right of tree spec and fearless expression of adverse opinion on alleged Romanistic practices, in fjuestioned, and beginning to be systematically threatens 1t remains to be seen how thin will be met by our neighbors.Certainly the spirited manner in which it has been re.[1 at Ogdensburg, dose not augur well for the success of this intolersut movement.The lecturer may, or may not, be what he pretends to bc, and bis lectures may be neltheramusiog PC \u2014 nor convincing, but this attempt to binder him will probably result in his getting a larger hearing than he otherwise would have done, A Trus PairosorAke \u2014 Aurore maya that the leading Chief of the Indians of the Lake vf the Two Mountaius has been prosecuted by the R.C.priests of that locality and, subjected to 8 month's imprisonment, for cutting down some cedaron what ho considers hix own land;

An advertisement appeared throughout the City of Dublin, about a week ago, announcing A monster meeting to be held on Sunday, Avg.6, at Wellington Monument, Phavix Park, to advocate the release of the political prisoners still confined in English dungeons.Another notice appeared on Saturday, Aug.5, signed by the Secretary of the Board of Public Works, stating that the meeting would not be permitted.and that orders had been issued to the police to prevent it.Notwithstanding this, large numbers of people began to assemble around the monument at 5, which was the hour announced for the meeting.Shortly after that hour Mr.Smyth, MP.for Westmeath; Mr.E.A.M.Sullivan, editor of two of the National papers ; Mr.O'Byrne, a released political prisoner; Mr.Nolan, Secretary to the Amnesty Association ; Mr.Carey, also a released political prisoner, and several other leaders arrived, and were received with immense cheering by the mob, which now numbered many thousand persons, When Mr.Smyth, M.P., opened the pro.ceediogs, he began : « Fellow Countrymen and Policemen-\u2014Our one object here is quietness ;\u201d and continued to the effect that he and the promoters of this meeting were anxious above all things to test the legal question as to the rights of those who wished to meet in public for the discussion of public affairs, but to do so peaceably and legally.Mr.Hawe, the Superintendent of Police, here, accompanied by one inspector, as advancing to him to remonstrate, when the crowd round, mistaking his intention, and believing he was about to arrest Mr.Smyth, closed round him and beat him 60 st- verely that his life was in danger.Seeing this, Mr.8myth and Mr.A.M, Bullivan exerted thelr authority for his protection, and with partial success, both gentlemen being injured by the blind fury of the mob, A summons was sent for more policemen, who came up in a strong detachment, They arrived only in time to save the lives of their officers, who were now beneath the feet of the mob.A general onslaught was then made by the police, who caught the leaders of the meeting, Including Mr.Smyth, punishing them severely.The mob
