AZTTX.2lOSXA.2rZ8XX. From the American Protettant Vindirator. HOTEL DIEU MJWKJIY AT MOMEAL. An old friend in Canada has written me a letter which contains the following re marks. "MaTia Monk work in my opinion, is full of far fetched lits; and a complete catch penny ; where she can gull fools. Some gentleman here sol emnly declare, that Maria Monk ii a well knotvn infamous character." It ii astonishing, after all the discus sion upon this subject, that any peisons can thus so completely misapprehend the true question. The character of Maria Monk has not the most remote connection with this investigation nor has any per son ever brought it up, either as testimony or for scrutiny, except the Roman priets. Maria, Monk has been a Nun! That fact alone determines her character in my es timate, and according to my acquaintance with Canadian Convents. No greater proof of infatuation can be adduced, than the conduct of many nomi nal Protestants upon this topic. One com mon adage in courts of law is this " the greatest rogue always turns evidence for the public." But is his testimony inval idated by the fact ? Not at all. " On the contrary aie not large rewards given, ana ts not complete exemption from pun- s ishnern guaranteed to any criminal who the belief of the priest's assertion, that they : other limit against the extending of a man's will impeach his accomplices in wicked- only enjoy the benefit of his massing ser-j encroachments, in a terror 4" discovery, nessf 'vices. If the priest did not make that or in a sense of interest, or evea in the re- BesUe. in what way could the "secrets' crafty exclusion, all the people in thedis-: lentings of a kindly or a compunctious feel of FemaL Convents" be divulged, if nor trict might imagine that their cattle hid ' g .towards h.m who is the victim of in- by on? of the residents!

All these four facts, I do hereby offer to prove at anytime, and in any place in Canada, as Mr Lartigue, the prelate of Montreal, may appoint. What will be his reply? " I stand upon my character." 1 ben 1 tell all the world who choose to know it : that Mr Lartigue, and the priests named in Maria Monk's 44 Awful Disclos ures," and with few exceptions all the other Canadian Cures, have no other char acters than thU , and I utter confidently the appalling truth. They are the most dissolute profligates in the parishes and tawis which they infest ; and are no more worthy of credit upon any topic connected wilh their ungodly priestcraft, than to speak in Bible language "Seducing spirits, speaking lies in h)pocrisy, having their conscience seared with a hot iron, who through covetousness, with ftigntd works, make merchandize of the souls of men.

On going to the door, he discovered his neighbor's son driving several cattle be.'ore him. 44 Where are you going with the cattle at this hour?" asked M G 41 1 am driving them," said the boy with careless gravity, "to mass." "To mass?'' replied M'G . " Yes !" said the boy, 14 to mass. Yon der is the priest waiting for them." 44 The boy then pursued his way; the covwere assembled ; and the. priest sung mass to them 4 That circumstance U of common oc currence in Ireland.

' The mass which is . offered for cattle is callel the Mass of the Holy Ghost and 011 account of its supposed superior virtue, is solJ for doubfe price.

For temporal felicity and eternal salvation, there is nothing like finding and keeping before the eye the line of demarka tion which God has drawn between right and wrong. The Guilt of Dishonesty not to 1 eimt ed by th Cain of it. 11 lie that is faithful in that ivhichis least, is faithful nlso in nxtchj and he that is unjust in the least, is unjust also in much." Luke xvk 10. The great principle of the text is, that he who has sinned though to a small amount in respect f the fruit of his transgression provided he has done so, by passing over a forbidden limit which was ditH:ctly known to him, has in ihe act of doing so, incurred a full Annilami-uiliAn 'n -n c 1 . f t L a of his transgression In one word, that the gain of it may be small, while tite guilt of it may be great; that ihe latter oiight not to be measured by the former; but that he who is uniaitbuuin the least, shall be dealt with in respect'to the offence he fcas given to God, in the same way as if he had been unfaith ful in much.
