^ New York, October 23. The Congressional Select ComjniUee on American Navigation having held its session at New York, Boston and Portland, visited Fall River. Tbs Committee adjourned from there to meet at Philadelphia the first Tuesday in December next. The questions before the Committee wore finally narrowed down to three distinct propositions, one or all of which will probably be recommended to Congress. Tho remission of all duties on material entering into tho construction of ships; the permitting of foreign ships to bo purchased at tbe same time, and admitting to American register ship lines as well in domestic as in foroign trhde. This measure was recommended to the Committee as indispensable to the growth of our mercantile steam navigation. L. R. Hoover has been held to answer the charge of smuggling #5,000 worth of

From tbe New York Tablet. W>|rto*ions of the 4'*f liollr Prrwe on Fere llynrintliF. If Pore llyacinthe has come here ex.pecting to find synipat by among < ’atholics with the views expressed in his letter to the General of his Order, he is destined •to a woful disappointment. Catholics in • this country are in general believers in republican government, and ardent defenders of civil liberty and Ibe freedom and independence of the Church; but they are equally stern defenders of the Divine authority of tho Church to teach and govern all' men and nations in all things pertaining to the spiritual duties, relations, and end of man. They are too well * acquainted with Protestantism to have syn.'oathy with any Protestant or anti-Catholic tendencies. The American Catholics whom he may have regarded as working lor tho ends he proposed to himself. he will find to bo behind none in their sincere and earnest censures of his spirit and conduct. Tho distinguished American Catholic on whom lie may have counted, since ho is held bv Protestants ♦o be a liberal Catholic, assured us perally, nearly two years ago, that he tnrh 1 for Pero Hyaeinthe, whose views worn V Pty unsound, and who was evi•dentlv vie 'ding to tendencies the nature .of which he llitl , “ >t understand, and which, if not rfs.'*tedin tnno, would lead .him out of the Chu." ch< , _ This is a poor count> 7 * or r !! ®"P®* •oially renegade Catholics. If I‘ ere *-Iy a * cjinthe comes here expecting to induce any considerable number of Catholics, or even a single Catholic, to accept him as a •m xder, or to follow him in his most in.te'mL^rato and silly attacks on tho authoritv' of the Church, he will find that he has cc 0,10 oa a fo01 ’ 8 errand' eomesas a Protestant, seeking sympathy and glorilioatifr 1 from the enemies of the.

They filrendy 80(, ., th!4t by leaving the Church he ,ha» mat his power to serve them, and that th*Y have no farther use for him. [From tho Freeman'* Journal, another Catholic organ.! It will be very edifying to sensible American readers of any religion or none, to Pnow what ex-Pero Hyaeinthe was forbidden to do. It was to hawk around “clubi'” and • leagues,” and other coteries non-Ecclesiastical, his sacerdotal character his frock ot a hermit Friar, and the sandal-shod bare feet. If he had hanker■«d after this kind of life—being already ■of mature age before lie became a Car--mellte a hv did h 0 Invade the sacred precincts of a religious Hie? If, at near a*bout thirty years of age, having passed through the novitiate of the Carmelite*, why did he not have firmness enough of will to have stuck to bis solemn prolesalon? Or, if he found reasons not to do this and to leave f hem, why did he not do It Id a quiet and gentlemanly way— invoking Ecclesiastical dispensation, in place of a low appeal to the infidel hordes that torment our modern society?

Poor Monsieur Loyson, late the K Hyaeinthe, bnt now the unfrocked friar, and an excommunicated priest {Si'ntentitt /afa,) will find no motive of human seduction to prevent his speedy rotnr.i to hia deserted convent. Knowing nothing against his morals, we suppose lie h.i» nothing in this respect outside of his disobedience to solemn promises against him. But, years ago, after reading some of his earlier conferences at Notre Dame, there are friends of ours that remind us we said he was only “a big bag of .wind.” Tbe same consideration makes us tho more doubtful of bis ever returning to his duty. If he were a man of thought and of convictions, and not merely a man of words, snd of expressions of other men’s ideas cnrlously wrought into captivating phrases, snd sonorously given forth by a studied snd mnslosl intonation, we would have mors hope. Ws remember, in our youth, hearing a good old Scotch Presbyterian wonder why Solomon In the Inspired book of “Proverbs.” wee so very herd on the mot ‘‘fools.” If thst old Presbyterian had not gone long ago where we must all go, to the Judgment Seat, we think we could, with the ex-Carmelite In onr eye, explain to him what kind of willing JboW, tbe wisest of kings, writing by tagplratlon mesnt.

A < ollision occurred la-tween tbe steamers Chauncey C. Vibbard and Adelphi, last evening, as they approached the dock at Yonkers. Tho Adelphi was badly damaged. No person Injured. It is reported that Butterfield telegraphed his resignation to Secretary Boutwell, which was immediately accepted. Another rumor saysadispatch from Boutwell tendering the position to a well known merchant hero has been .answered by a declination. A Lima letter of September 27, sta'es that there was great trepidation throughout South America on account of a predicted tidal wave and earthquakes. People were leaving their dwellings near the coast and camping in the mountains. A terrific earthquake is reported to have occurred in the Arequipas district, completely destroying the town of Cha-

New York, October 23.

Tho steamship Arizona, from Asptn-

A Washington dispatch says tho project of removing the Capital out West would appear Jo have more strength than Washingtonians believe. The Western men here aro pretty well united on the suiiject, and it is, from all that I can learn here this evening, very likely that a .rial of strength between the removers and anti-removers will come up at the next

session of Congress.

An appropriation of #3,500,000 is to be asked for to put up a new building lor tho State and War Departments, and tbe Western members aro determined, it is said, to fight the proposition at every stage. The Western men assert that every additional dollar expended on Federal works in Washington will tie made an argument against removing the Capital, and they are determined to furnish no

more arguments on that.

Benjamin Butler said to-night that sensible men would govern themselves as to the holding or selling out of tho property by the test vote on the appropriation for the War and State Departments. The Tribuno’s Washington dispatch says it has been decided Jhat if Butterfield's resignation is not received by to-

day lie will be removed.

In consideration of the representations of the inapplicability ol regulations for grain distillation, made to the Commissioner of Internal Revenne. Mr. Delano has made important modifications, which he is anthorized to do under the law. The kind of material used Is to be considered in estimating the capacity of stllla, and the hours only actually occupied In distillation are to be considered In estimating the amount to be returned. This will relieve the distilling interest from destructive deficiency tax. A liberal treatment Is to be applied in cases where this deficiency tax has been already assessed. It Is further directed that viatera selling wine of their own mannfartare are not liable to a dealer’s license. The forthcoming report of Treasurer Spinner will show that the iicrease oi collections and decrease of expenditures for the six months ending August 31, 1869, amounted to #5,000,000, as compared with the corresponding period of 1868.

Arrive 1 at tbe cabaret, the time pass ed quickly away, and Montin thought no more oi his unfinis’' 1 work. During the mom .g hia employer came to see how the polishing of the diamond proceeded. The concierge assured him that Montin bad only just gone out, and would not fail to return directly, as he bad for some days been working steadily and unremittingly. Only halt satisfied, the jeweler went away, to return in two hours, and to find Mon Convinced he was at the tavern, the master charged one of his men to seek him, and Induce him to return to his work. This was done, and Montin grumbling between his teeth, quitted his comrade and ascended to his worship, but his head was no longer clear nor his hand steady. To add to hia trouble, the diamond became unfixed; he seized it hastily to replace it; his trembling finger gave a jerk—and by a strange fataHty, the precious stone flew out of the window: Sobered in a moment by this terrible accident, Montin continued gazing out of the casement as if petrified, his pale lips murmuring the word] "lost! lost! lost!” For moro than half an hour he remained almost motionless, and was only aroused from his lethergy by the entrance ol his master. “Is it thus you work. Montin?” exclaimed he; “three times have I called for tho diamond, and you spend your time at the (.avern. Give me the stone; I must have it, finished or unfinished.” Montin looked wildly at him without Uttering a work. “What is he matter with you?” asked tha Jeweler. “Why don’t you answer? Have you drank nil your senses away?” The lapidary tried in vain to spaak. Hia tongue seemed paralysed. At last he rose, and hiding hia face in his hands murmured r "It—ia—lost!” “F.xplaiu yourself. What happened?” •‘Out of the window.” •* \ hat? when?” “The atone.” “Well, well, well; tell me what haa occurred.” "The stone flew oat.” It was now the turn of the master to become silent with astonishment; than, furious with rage, he cried: “I don’t believe a word of your story; you have sold my diamond to pay for dissipation. The accusation was the coup degrace for Montln. He fell fainting at the feet of his master; and it was not without difficulty that he was tecalled to life, or rather to a despair which amounted almost to madness. The Jeweler, who understood what was passing in bis mind, tried to console him, and at last succeeded in rendering him more calm. “It is a most unfortunate accident, no doubt,” said he, "but it is not irreparable.” “You do not, then, believe that I sold your diamond for drink,” said Montin, eagerly. “No, no, Montin, you must forget what I said in the first moment of anger, and let us try to find a remedy tor tbe misfortune. The diamond waa worth #200; you must endeavor to repay me half of that sum out of your wages, which, when you w ork regularly, amount to A3 and £4 a week. With industry and sobriety you will soon get out of debt.” "From this time I will work steadily,” said Montin, with tears in his eyes. You shall see, sir, that though I have been a drunkard I am not a thief.” “I believe you,” replied the jeweler. “I have every confidence in you; you are a good workman; I will furnish you with plenty of work, aid in a few years you will be right qgain. Well! will that suit you?” “Oh yes, air! only tell me onoe more, that you do not think I sold the diamond.” repeat on my honor, that I only said so in the first moment of anger. I am convinced you are an honest man—in fact 1 prove it by trusting you with more work.” “Yes, sir, that Is true, and I promise you I will not disappoint you. I will repair my fault; the lesson has been severe, ■ (but it will not be without its fruits.” Montin kept bis word—he rose early, and worked indefatigably; the lost stone was replaced by another, which was polished as if by enchantment.

Telegraphic Communication Between the Earth and Planets. The mind of man is never satisfied. It does not rest content with having solved most of the terrestrial problems, such as the geological formation of the earth, its rotundity, its place in our planetary system and in the universe, its elevations, revolutions, and all the phenomena connected with the change of the seasons. It is far from being content with the plausible hypothesis of science relating to the celestial bodies. It wishes to penetrate further, and is eternally, incessantly at work trying to discover more, to know more about the nature, functions, and ends of those numberless worlds floating in infinite space, and obeying the immutable laws established for their government before they were sent to roll forever upon their respective orbits by the Creator. Encouraged by the results of some of its boldest attempts, and the knowledge it has already obtained of the celestial mechanism, and looking down with contempt upon snch poor contrivances as balloons for the exploration of space, it has seriously resolved to open telegraphic communication with the inhabitants of the planets nearer to the earth. We are stating a positive fact. The plan has been conceived, matured, and seriously propounded through the Continental press by a French living savant. M. Cros has selected tor the trial of his experiments the planets Mars and Venus, and starting from the principle that there is no other means of communication between planets than the mutual exchange of a repeated phenomenon, chooses a luminous beam, being at the same time of the opinion that when astronomical science shall have advanced a little more, it will perhaps bo better to try tbe experiment with electricity or magnetism. But taking into consideration the marvellous distance that there is between the planets, how is a free light to be produced upon the earth capable of reaching them? M. Cros does not appear at all discouraged by the difficulty the solution of this problem apparently offers. Lenticular reflectors have, according to him, analogous properties to parabolic mirrors, and by means of electric lights condensed in the focus of concave lenses, he thinks he will be able to produce such an intense luminosity that it willlookto the planets Mars and Venus like a star o tbe eighth magnitude. But even grant ig the possibility of attracting the attei ion of the Inhabitants of those planets I y an artificial light upon the dark surfaces of the earth, there would still i 'main another great difficulty to conquer. Is optical science sufficiently advanced to produce instruments ^rfect and powerful enough to generate an transmit to so enormous a distance an electric light with a distal conical base of sixty million feet? M. Cros would place the lenses according to the parallactic system, in order to compensate the effects of the rotation of tbe earth and the sidereal revolution of the two planets in question. The countries nearest to the poles are, in his opinion, the best fitted for making the signals, because of their long nights, wnlch would admit, during whole months, oi their being carried on without interruption, although electric light might be so condensed as to make the signals visible to the inhabitants of Mars and Venus even ut day lime, and in the tropical regions of the earth. To prevent them being misled by tneir fixity, numerical and variable signals might be transmitted of a “living nature,” to inform them of the kind of numbers to be used in all future communications. By the ingenious system proposed by M. Cros, a series of numerical ugures would show the inhabitants of other worlds the whole of the human progress in our mother earth. Mind, matter, lungnage, ideas, forms, colors, and even sounds, would flv across infinite space to inform these celestial beings,however distant they might be, thet there was a privileged race of men living in this dark little corner of the universe as clever, bold, inquisitive, and perhaps as intelligent and conceited as themselves. M. C’roe thinks they are as curious to know us as we are to know them. They have possibly got telescopes larger, more powerful, and more iierfect than ours, and are constantly looking upon theearth from their lofty observatories. Who would be bold enough to affirm that they are not already signaling to us? Our astronomers have observed many luminous points upon the surface of their planets, and not unlikely these are their signals. We can not, of course, understand them; but with improved scientific appliances and the adoption of Mr. Cros’ system, wo need not despair. Our men of science should never turn their eyes from the heavenly bodies for fear of missing some heavenly telegram. But before answering to their calling, it is necessary “to conquer the ignorance, the scepticism, and tho bad will of man,” and to undertake the delicate, difficult, and expensive construction or the transmitting instruments. Armed with these, the astronomical observers have their eyes fixed upon the heavenly bodies. They see upon some place of their dark disc a luminous spot. It is the answer! “We haveseen you; we understand your signals,” they say, and the communication between 'earth and heaven is established. This would be, indeed, says M. Cros, a day of joy and pride for man. The eternal isolation of the sphere has been conquered. A universal federation of worlds has been formed, and the field of human inquiry extended to the infinite. But mankind would not even rest satisfied with seeing an hypothesis converted into a positive fact. Science suspects already the existence of living beings in the planets, and the confirmation oi this suspicion by signals from them would not surprise it. Curiosity would rise to fever point, and to gratify this natural feeling a system would have to be invented for general communication and the exchange of Ideas, knowledge, and symbols of the inhabitants of tho respective planets. This great desideratum woiijd be accomplished by means of Ugures, as stated above, and M. Cros gives minute directions for the use of them. Personal communication is, of course, out of the question, even for so bold a speculator as M. Cros; but by the use of numbers, everything physical qnd meiaphysipal could be communicated, a* mathematicians know. This method of transmission is not the only one, nor tbe best that might be adopted, TU* transmission of rythmic sparks produces a transmission of signals of plain projections; and by coloring the luminous beams of light, or polarising It, a better system might easily be found. The construction of a series of figures representing all human knowledge,each with anumber attached, would thus 4p the duty of primitive telegraphy between two planets. In the course of time nothing would be easier than the establishment of an electric communication between the earth, the moon, and Mars, and Venus, as perfect as that between what we figuratively call the old and new world. The Interorbital communication would then be a reality, and not a figure of speech, as at present. M. Cros says that the inhabitants of other worlds would, perhaps, make us wait long for their answer; and we cordially concur with tum oa thi* point. But he is) not jesting; he Is In earnest, and he propounds what appears to us a wild Utopia with the method, the close reasoning, and the data of an able gyuentido man, am} a philosopher. He write* with the eloquence of convict^ and , t ig reully reireshing to read in this study of bis so many originalsuggeations. One of these is, that if those inhabitants of heaven have been signaling to us perhaps for thousands of years without o*r understanding them. Hchrgeter, Harding, Messier, and other men of acience, have seen many brilliant spots upon the discs of Mercury, ;Mars and Venus, which they can not satisfactorily explain. May not, perchance, these unexplained illuminations be the signals of their inhabitants to us? Who knows?—.YortA British Daily Mail.

From New York Observer. Eff-President Pierce — Reminiscences. The domestic sorrow that fell upon Mr. and Mrs. Pierce, just before bis accession to the Presidency, blighted the only prospect of enjoyment to which they looked forward in going to the seat of govern-

ment.

The opening sentence of his Inaugural Address contain* an allusion to his afflic-

tion:

“My Countrymen—It is a relief to feel that no heart but my own can know the personal regret and bitter sorrow over which I have been borne to a position so suitable for others rather than desirable for myself.” A snort time before they went on to Washington, Mr. and Mrs. Pierce were riding out alone near Boston, and Mrs. Pierce said: “O, Franklin, is it not strange that perhaps the only two persons in the country who do not want to, are obliged to go there.” Mrs. Pierce w as a lady of deep religious culture and early piety, daughter of Rev. Dr. Appleton. President of Bowdoin College. Mr. Pierce, after the afflictive death of his only son and child— which was by a railroad accident—was led to the cordial embrace of personal religion. This was at tbe very beginning of his Presidential term. He at once became a strict and consistent observer of the Holy Sabbath, attending public worship regularly, refusing to see company or attend to secular business. The weekly religious lecture he attended whenever it was possible, going in quietly and taking a retired seat. Every morning the servants and household were assembled in the library of the mansion, and he read the Scriptures and prayed with them. He frequently invited clergymen to viait him, and whenever one was there, he was

made chaplain of tho house, but otherwise, Mr. Pierce led in the family devotions, and always invoked the divine blessing at table, whatever guests were present. * I spent a week at the White House while Mr. Pierce was President. Usually half a dozen or more distinguished men— Senators, ministers and strangers—were guests at dinner. Mr. Pierce always called upon me to ask the blessing. One day he did so himself, but immediately turned to me and said: “I beg your pardon; I forgot for the moment.” It waa pleasant to notice that the habit was so strong upon him. Wines were on the table and three or four glasses at every plate but his. He drank nothing bat water. In his early public life he bad a proclivity to tbe use of liquors, which he thoroughly conquered, and became a strong abstinent from intoxicating drinks. One day be took me into his bed chamber. His bed was removed a little way from tbe wall, and he sat down on the inside, while he removed a white curtain from before a picture—the portrait of a beautiful boy; his son, his only son; his son that was killed just as he was stepping into the highest office in the land. “Wno could refrain from tears?” We wept together for some time in silence. The picture told the whole tale of disappointment, sorrow, and mute companionship. At length be said; “All the compensation Mrs. Pierce and I bad in looking forward to this place was in the future of this dear child; we t iought of him in these rooms, and of our pleasures in his, and what he might be in after life; but when be was taken a vay, it was all over; we would rather have gone anywhere else, than to come here.” Another day was bis reception day, and he asked me to stand with him and assist in receiving the guests. Just before twelve—the hour of reception—he called at my room and took me to the East room, where we walked up and down until the doors should be thrown open to the public. 1 was thinking how proud and enviable the position of a man who is the bead of a great nation—the Chief Magistrate of millions of prosperous and happy people! As if he were divining my thDiiglits, he passed his arm over my shoulder, and, leaning upon me, said: “After all, the man who preaches the Gospel and wins men to heaven has the highest office on earth.” Rarely, it ever, in this or any other country, have I met a gentleman of more refined and cultivated manners, of more humane and tender feelings, or of higher and better purposes. His gentle and assiduous attentions to his invalid wife were lieautiful, blending the father and lover, and shown in pjblic and private alike, tbe habit of his life. One little incident will illustrate the man. 1 was walking in Broadway with him, on the Sabbath day, some years alter he was President, when a fast young man, driving a gay horse, came dashing along, and the horse was suddenly pulled up In consequence of the harness getting out of order. We stepped into the street: I took the horse bythe bead, the President adjusted the harness with ready skill, and the youth drove on with scarcely an expression of thanks. I said to Mr. Pierce: “That young man will never know that he was helped out of*that by a President of the United

States.”

He was a fine scholar, accomplished in his rhetoric, exceedingly happy in brief addresses, and in conversation easy, genial, humorous and agreeable. I say nothing of his political principles and official acts, because my associations with him were purely of a social and religions nature, and had no reference to public measures. Sympathy in a kindred sorrow led to our acquaintance, ripened into friendship which, I trust, will survive the grave and be renewed In heaven. Irkn.sus.
