NEW Yonk CITV, June 25, 184^.

HON. HORACE A S Bear Sir: I must reply in fhe questions of vour Circular much more briefly than 1 could otherwise have desired, as 1 am on the eve of my departure for Europe, and em much occupied with the necessary preparations. 1. I have been engaged in the praclical duties of teaching for about ten years, chiefIv in private schools in Boston and New York. 2. I have had ntlder my care, for a longer or shorter time, probably nearly eitht hunred pupils. They have beeti of bo ill sexes, ind ol all ages from four to twenty five,

S. If all our schools were tinder the charge of teachers possessing what I regBrd as the right inieU'ecUiiil and moral qualifications, and il all the hildren of the cotnmtintiy were brought under the influence of these schools for ten mA'n'ths in the year, I think that the work of training up the whole coinmunily to intelligence and virtue would soon he accomplished, as completely as any human end can he obtained by human means.

I do not think, however, that so lar

which they may witness, than canld have been prodncpd by any mere arguments ot persuasions, however theoretically true.

Thus the secret, as it seems to me. of the art of training up the rising generation to virtuous character, consists, not in the power of she teachers to indotbrinate them with correct theories of moral duty, and lo urge upon them arguments for the support of such theories, but in inducing, through his personal influence and example, a habit of right action, in all the pursuits. Occupations and pleasures of childhood, A teacher who has the right views and feelings in respect lo bis dutv will take a great pleasure in doing this. His opportunities of giving theoretical instruction will not be neglected bul he will feel that they are only auxiliary to the influence of his life. He will diffuse about him, by simply acting out his own principles and character, a sort of atmosphere which will bring the moral feelings of his pupils inlo harmony with hi8 own. He will take the strongest interest in Ihe characters which most need his influent*—the impatient, Ihe idle, the vicious—just as the surgeon in the hospital takes the strongest interest in the wotst cases of disease. He attributes the faults or faulty habits, which he observes, to their true cause—peculiar constitutional temperament, or untoward external influences—and feels confident that, if he can supply the right moral remedy, bv substituting good external influences in nlace of the bad. all will be well again. Thus, he thinks indulgently of the offences which he sees, and speaks 1enien.lv. while he acts earnestly and decidedly. The bad as well as the good, consequently, soon learn lo consider hitfi as a friend.

Circular addreMtdby the Holy See to Home, if not all, of the Catholic Prelates of Irelandt Most Illustrious and Reverend Lord—Tho reports now for some months circulated by the English newspapers, concerning ihe political party strifes on which some ecclesiastics have allowed themselves lo be carried away, and the desecration made of some of the Irish churches for the pnrpore of aiding and promoting secular concerns—nay, more, the reporia we are informed, are so fr»queni, and by reason of which the clergy have been stigmatized, and some of ihem charged with imprudence, and as giving indirect provocation from the pulpit—-or. at least, extenuating the guilt of these murders—these reports mum, surely, awaken the solicitude of the Sacred Congregation,

The Sacred Congregation csnnot bring itself to believe that such reports, so extensively noised abroad, can be true—nor can it believe thai ecclesiastics have lorgotten that the Church of God should be the House of prayer—not of secular concerns, of the meeting place of poliiicans neither can Ihe Sacred Congregation believe that ecclesiastics have ceased to recollect that they are ministers of peace, dispensers of the mysteries of God'—men who should not iovolva Ih-mselves in worldly concerns—in a word, men who should ahhor blood and vengeance. Nevertheless, ihisSacred Congregation deems il in duty lo require satisfactory and speedy information concerning all ibese maiieis,. that it mav know what importance it should' aitach to the above mentioned damnatory reports. Wherefore, at the suggestion of bin. Holiness.
