We call attention to a very interesting letter in another

column, by "An Irish Catholic," which certainly seems to show that Mr. Gladstone has been misled in supposing that the relieving Act of 1791 was obtained in any degree by the Roman Catholic repudiation of the Pope's infallibility. Apparently, the whole controversy was quite as well understood then as now, only that our leading statesmen were at that time quite without fear of the doctrine of the Pope's infallibility, while now they look upon it with terror and dismay. It is quite clear that Mr. Gladstone has fallen into serious errors in that part of his historical disquisition.
