Just fancy the business of actu al life, aud all commercial relations regulated by the hour of vespers! This shows (what I have been striving to Dringyou tojthe spirit of the Roman Gov ernment. It is a government administered by monks, who apply tho rules of a Convent to conduct the affairs of a State by monks, who apply the narrow maxims of the dark ages to the business of the present age. .r"f instance. ncn vaccination was spreading over Christendom, some years ago, tne l ope and the Cardinal held a solemn cau cus of their own to decide whether the Ro mans should or should not have their infants vaccinated, anu tneir taccs marked and scar red, more ma jo turn. They applied the rule.- of the 12th century to the emergency of the lyth. and sagaciously decided, that vaccina tion should not be allowed in Rome. Aoj is it. Thus, too, about ten days ago, the fane of tit. reter was thronged with thousands to see four or five old monks cononized, who had "died 111 the odour of sanctity." Aye, they were regularly canonized, and they are now on the calender. Thus the Bankers Tortonia (men of rank and spirit) whose great wealth is equalled on ly by their enterprise, recently undertook to introduce steam navigation on the xiber. their plan was to establish a port at its mouth to extend steam navigation from it to Na ples, Leghorn, and all the adjacent coasts, and run omnibuses up to Rome from that port. The Steamboats and the omnibuses were not only contracted for, but nearly ready, when 41 1 .

Ihe same cause kcepg every th m xj in Rome rather going backward than forward. There is no gas tight, though it is in hn smallest town in England, and many second rate towns in France. The idea of a rail road across tho Tapal States would frighten the Sacred College into fits. The press is in duresse. The best works on mental philoso phy arc prohibited. There is not one man in Rome eminent for science. If she had a Cuvier, a Silliman, or a Ilerschcll, he dare not lecture or publish his discoveries to the world until some ignorant censor had docked them with his pruning-knifc. The grand truths of Geolory are as little known to the people of Rome as are the sayings and do ings of the man in tho moon; and if the sci ence be taught at all, it is only in a mutilated form, and to none but churchmen. Unadul terated science is contraband. Nor is it difficult to explain why the Pa pal Government are apathetic and indifferent, and afraid of free thoughts and free inquiries As 1 have already said, its dogma?, its man- ner, its principle ot action, were named in accordance with the spirit of the 12th century, when Papacy was mighty and aristocratic. Some few changes it may make silently, by droppiuga tew untenable pretensions, but it cannot make any marked change it cannot admit the sunshine of Reform and Improve ment without an abandonment of its pro fessed character as the immutable depository of infallible truth. Hence the rulers of Rome, finding themselves unable to raise up their old institutions to the level of modern knowledge, aim at keeping down this knowledge to the level of those institutions. The props and slays of their system arc dropping off one by one, one source of influence fails after ano ther, and they try to shut out, as far as they can, the ,;ght which must show on what weak foundations their authority rests; and they look with suspicion upon even the harmless innovations. They have one maxim over all to shun occasions of collission, to pro ceed as much in the old way as possible, in a word, to keep things as they are.

McKAY. - John McRae. Division Inspector. Head Q.uarters, Elisabclhloivji, Sept. 7, 1839 From the Charleston Courier. Extract of a letter written by the Roman Catholic Bishop of Charleston. "Neither Chancery, nor Penitentiary nor Datery has ever interfered with this tribunal. Each Bishop, in his Diocess, ordains priests, and whilst he believes them qualified, he gives them jurisdiction to hear the penitent sinner, to teach him his obligation accordino to this law, and to carry it into execution. Neither the Bishop nor the Pope, nor any tribunal, can require any information of what the peuetent has told, aud was it required by either of them, the Priest is bound rather to die than to communicate it. In the per formance of his duty, ihe law of God, and not the acts of external tribunals, is to be his guide. It is here, and only here, that ab solution for sin is given, and no priest could be guilty of worse simony than to accept of money, if the penitent should be so silly as to offer it, for ' this absolution: because, the members of the Church are all taught that ail the forms are useless, unless they have the disposition of true repentance, and that God will not ratify an absolution given to one that does not truly, repent. Thus no division of Christians requires a more perfect repentance and abandonment of sin than we do, and we require more, for we require con fession and satisfaction. Now all this was done in the sixth session of the Council, on the 13th of January, 1547, tnat is, 14 years and 11 months before the protest of the Protestant Princes was deliver ed at Franckfort: of course thev hnrn- that this was the Catholic doctrinp. It is then oiir doctrine that the guilt of sin is remitted only by tire power of God, Ihrouo-h the merits ol Christ, and upon the conditions which he requires; amongst which are true repentance and the ministry of the priest. As; soon as the guilt is remitted, the liability to eternal punishment ceases; but it is a doctrine of ours, that God frequently, for his owjn wise purpose, subjects the repentant and pardoned sinner to a temporary punish ment. I shall illustrate it by. reference to a scriptural fact. When Nathan had announced to David upon his repentance, that God had taken away his sin, the guilt was removed and the penalty of eternal death was remitted, but the teniporal puni-shment of the death of his child was announced. I could multiply in stances, but this will sullice. We believe. also, that by what the explanation, above given, calls ".sati-sfaetion," God will frequent ly be moved to extend still larther his mer cy, and to diminish, or altogether to remove this temporal punishment. Thus we read, that David kept a fast and lay upon the ground during the sickness of the child; but when its death was announced to him he arose and ate, and in explanation, he said, "while the child was living I fasted and wept for him: for I said who knoweth whether the Lord may not yet give him to me." Had the child been given, it would have been what w'e call an "Indulgence," and thus it is not a remission of sin, nor leave to commit sin, nor the remission of the eternal punish ment due to sin, nor an absolution from an excommunication, nor is it a dispensation from the observance of a law: but an indul gence is the "remission of the whole, or of a part of the temporal punishment which some times, remains due to the penitent and par doned sinner, after his guilt and the eternal punishment have been removed." And thus ilo person can profit of an Irtdulgeance ex cept after he shall have repented and been pardoned by the Almighty God through the merits of Jesus Christ. Whether God gave power to the Apostles to grant indulgences upon certain conditions, whether that power still exists in the Church, and where it is lodged, if it does, are questions which would open a new field of controversy, and from which I promised to abstain. Our readers will now perceive why in ex amining the truth of your assertion, that, the Roman Chancery passed a statute licensing the commission of crimes lor certian sums of money, I stated that the use or abuse of indul gences had no bearing on the question. I shall, in my next, endeavor to wind up my explanation, by showing the nature of dis- j pensations, and their abuse, as also the na ture of censure and the abuses in granting absolution from them, and the manner in which the grant of Indulgences was long and extensively abused. I have the honor to re main, Reverned Sir, Your ob't. humble serv't. tJOHN, Bishop of Charleston. Charleston, S. C. Sept. 7, 1839. ITEMS FROM AN OLD PAPER CAL LED THE "WAR" 1812' 1 3 and '14. 28 6t, Girard College. A correspondent of the Daily Advertiser g-ives the following descrip tion of the edifices connected with this insti tution: "The college is on an eminence about equi-distant from the Schuylkill and Delaware rivers. Two buildings of the five are erected, and the walls of the large edifice, which will be in the centre, are dp. 1 he buildings are of white marble, and they will be the most splendid of any thing in this country. The pillars of the largest will cost, it is said, halt a million ot Dollars, the cost ot each being $10,000. They are about sixty feet high, and the diameter of their base about ten feet. The rooms in this building are, I should judge, fifty feet square. The parti tions between. the rooms are more than three feet thick. From the top of this edifice, where temporary seats have' been erected, you 'nave a view of the whole city and the surrounding country. The Penetentiary is immediately before you the Schuylkill and the Water Works on your right and the Delaware on your left," l'The War." To refreshen the memory of some, and amuse others of our readers we give some items from this paper published in New York, in 1812, '13 and '14. On the 19 of August, 1812, a tornado oc curred in this city, N. Y. during which 100 persons were drowned by "the rising waters. Gen.

A dinner was given by the corpo'ration of the city of New York on the 7th of January, 131 -J, to the "Jack Tars," who were on boartl the frigate United States, when she captured the Macedonian. They were ad dressed in a spirited speech by Alderman Vanderbilt, to which they returned the re sponse of three hearty cheers. The papers of that period abound with in stances of the generosity and bravery of our noble sailors. They had a paper in Philadelphia called "The Tickler" it was opposed to the war. The amount of ammunition expended bv the frigate Constitution in her action with the Guerriere which lasted twenty-five min- ? utes, was: 300 24 lb. shot. 230 32 lb. shot. 10 18 lb. shot. 150 32 lb. Grnpe. 120 25 lb. Gnpe. 4U 21 lb. Canister; 60 32 lb. Canister 40 14 lb. double headed. The War mentions sometime in Jafluary, that "at the last dates Bairtbridge in the Constitution with the sloop Hornet, com manded by Lawrence was near the middle of the Atlantic, hunting English frigates. Joel tfarlow, our .Minister to France, died of a fever on his way from Milan to Paris. The British sloop of war Peacock was sunk by the sloop of war Hornet in fifteen, minutes. Between 30 and 40 of the Pea cock's men were killed and wounded while we only had one killed and two wounded. Stephen Girard of Philadelphia reasoned his ship, the Montesquieu, from Canton, for 250,000, and sent down the specie to the captors. Of the "Sixteen Million loan" J. J.

An Express Mail was established in April, sometime between the cities of Washington and Buffalo to go in four days and sixteen hours. The London Times of March 20th, 1812, says: CO-"The public will learn with sentiments which we shall not presume to anticipate, that a third British frigate (the Java) has struck to an American. This is an occur rence that calls for anxious refleetlottj this, and the fact that Lloyd's List contains no tices of upward of five hundred British ves sels captured in seven months by the Ame ricans. Five hundred merchantmen and 3 frigates!"ot3 Farther on, the same jlajier saysf K5-"Down to this moment not a single American frigate has struck her Rag.

News of the abduction of Bonaparte was received in this country from an extra bf the London Gazette, dated April 10th 1813 A chap named Williim Brown was lried by a court martial for cowardice, on board the Chesapeake; he was a bugle man, and was too frightened to blow. The court sen tenced him to receive three hundred lashes, two hundred of which were afterwards re milted. The British made use of copper balls in their attacks in the Patuxeunt.
