ATTEM PTED SUICIDE. AT ercvtgn anEXCE.—On Wet!neaday night, the fol. lowing attempt at self-destroetion took place at the house of Mr. Edward Sutton, of No. 13, York-street, Waiwonh. It appetite.. that about three weeks since, a gentians*, of military exterior, called at the above person's house, and inquired of Mts. Sutton, in broken English (being • native of Spain), what arm: the terms of a room she hart to let furnished; his questions being eatidartorily answered by the landlady, an agreentent wits made between diem, and the eentlen:an next day brought* few articles in a hackney-ceach. and hzcame an inmate of the house ; during the Snit fortnight the unfortunate gentleman occupied the apartment, he never left the house till the evenings, when he usually carried a kind of portmanturt with him, and it wits generally between the hours of ten and eleven before he returned. Ills concoct and way of life. with his extreme melancholy looks, mused a degree of interest and curiosity in the house, and it was naturally inferred that he was a man who hod seen far different days, and had been reduced, by untoward misfortunes, to hie pre sent state of life. On Wednesday night last, about ten o'clock, the daughter erf Mr. Simon- let their lodger in as usual, and after giving him alight he Tuned to his roots.. It appears that his man. ners were such that the young girl mentioned it to her parents, re. marking bow cures: ely wretched Mr. De-Lspana (the name he went by) appeared to be. About an hour alter his entrance into the house, 31r. and 11ra. Sutton went up stairs for the purpose of retiring to rest, when they heard a deep groan, which seemed to emanate from the room of the Spanish gentleman ; on their listening it was repeated, and in consequence 31r. Sut. ton knocked at the door, and inquired if he was ill ; but re airing no answer, although he called out several times , he thought it advisable to burst the door open, as he imagined bia Ogee w.ts dying, and enosequently could not reply. On the door being ?tweed the unhappy man was found lying on the Sane with his throat dreadfully au with a rotor, which was neer him; the room was flowing with blood from the wmind, and the wretched gentleman himself totally insensible. 31r. Sutton lost no tone in arting ; Mr. Brown, a medical gentleman 'living in the sticiOy. ablaut i4imelliately attended. and, sewing up the wound, preserved the life of the unfonunate Spaniard, although astute most have been exhausted In a few minutes huger, had not the hemnrrhs,ge been stopped. He now lies he • precarious state, no one hut the surgeon being allowed to sea him, who renders every t hit.g to Isis recovery and comfort. It is suppo , ed that he is one of those brave men who struggled frr the liberty of their emntry ; bat, like the great Mina and many getter of his brave companions., was compelled to fly and seek re. hwe in this conntry. In his room was found a number of excellent - painting", whi-h szemsd to have been recently executed, sad it is ' , opposed that by the sale of them (done evidently by his osti bands) he supported nature.

ANOTHER ST,A7,I•IIO•T ACCIDENT...—On Sunday morn ing, about three o'clock, while the Highlander stern-boat was coming up the river from 'l'obermory, she, a little to the south of the Cloch Lighthouse, unfortunately Came in contact with the Fame hound to Liverpool. She was struck on the larboard bow with such violence that all her bul warks and planks were stove in, to the inexpressible fear of every person on board. The mester of the Fame in stantly teed; on bous all the crew and passengers of the Highlander, till her condition was ascertained. On exami nation it Was found that she was all ramtal below water; they then removed the inner and other heavy articles to her starboard side, and afterward., proceeded to Greenock, where she arrived between six and seven o'clock. About ten minutes previous to the accident the Captain and crew of the Highlander being all on declz, the Captain standing at the bow, he called to the Pilot, " a vessel ahead," and repeatedly hailed the Fame to hear off, but whether she she did not heir, or misunderstood what was said, is un certain, The Highlander had lights out during the whole of the night. The conduct of the master and erew of the Fame was beyond all praise ; in fact, they coolly feared no 'ranger for themselves, but in the most daring manner used eve r y possible exertion in rescuing those on boar', of the i I ighlander..

From the eon. atant falling of large flakes of burning timber. considerable fears were ertertained foe the safety of the surrounding premises, the extensive deal.yarils of Messrs.

Therein no means of accounting for the manner in which it origi.. :toted, as there had been no fires lighted in that part of the concern since Tuesday evening. The fwisperty, we learned, was insured to the amount of 11,1051. in the Norwich and for the same rum in the Alliance. At present it le impossible to calculate the extent of the damage sustained. It was distinctly visible from all the bridges, from Surrey-street in the Strand, and at every point attractal immense erowile of spectators.

Yesterday the investigation of this horrible affair was resumed at Hatton-garden police office, before Mr. Sergeant Set.i.os: and Mr. Latien. The prisoner', Jeremiah Cara, Mary Cara the wife, and Mar. go ret Cara the daughter. were placed at the bar. The father and daughter appeared to preserve the same degree of comp sure that they possessed at roe former examinations, but Mary e'aen, the wife, seemed to labour under great perturbation of spirit and very great lasaitutle of body. She was accommodated with a chair , and an infant. apparently about two years old, frequently interrupted the bnsineto by its artless prattle as it played unconsciously around its unhappy mother. The exterior habiliments of all bore ample tes timony to their general poverty. There were some fresh witnesses examined, but their testimony did sat tend to any further elucidation of the principal point, namely, the actual perpetration of the deed. They all spoke to tact' , either antecedent or subsequent to the crime, which seems to have been committed only in the presence of four person.. The lips of one of the four are sealed For ever. Caen him. self cannot be made an evidence against his wife; and the daughter, of whose presence and cognizance no moral doubt can be entertained, still obstinately adheres to her first assertions, that she knows nothing of the murder beyond finding the deceased lying in her father's yard, wounded and dying. With respect to the fourth, and, as is believed, the principal actor in this tragic scene, the secret rests between Ood and her own soul. Atter all *he evidence had been taken down, Mr. Sefweant SE,.. LOX observed, that as there was no evidence against Jeremiah Caen, he was discharged ; that the daughter, along with the other witnesses, should cuter into recognizanees to appear at the next Old Bailey Sessions, to prosecute Mary Caen for the wilful murder of Maurice Fitzgerald. Caen that bowed to the Bench, kissed his infant child, and left the office. Mr. Sergeant Set tow then informed the prisoner, that he was ready to hear any thing she might have to offer in her defence, but at the same time, he begged to caution her as to saying any thing which might militate against herself. The wretched woman rose, and sustaining herself with some difficulty against the bar, feebly said, " Your Honours, I have nothing more to say titan thist—on the night In question I got a cow-heel to: our suppers. I took the child and went out for some pepper and miens, and it being boring-day (St. Stephen's), I was made to drink two glasses of gin, one at the green-grocer s, and another at the oil-shop ; and in consequence Of a circumstance which. occurred in my family about sixteen months ago (which was broached that day), whenever I :Irink any thing 1 always lost my reason. Before my Redeemer, I now declare, that I don't know what happened, and how the man came by his death. I only know that I went for my hoahand. who was drinking at the public house, as he did not go to work all that day. I brought him home to supper, and he wanted to go back again ; some disp ute 11(082 on that, and we quarrelled, but what followed 1 don t remember. Whether the man was there or not, I can't soy; but I don't eecol lect seeing him, if he was--that is all I have to say, gentlemen." The purport of this declaration was entered on the minutes, and the prisoner was fully committed for trial. Mr. Patrick I)unne, of I,systall-street, with whom the daughter lives servant, entered into a recognizance of 401. for her personal .... , _ appearance at the Sessions. The office on each day was immensely crowded by Irish people, but what was very remarkable, there was nothing of a tumultuous or disorderly character in their behaviour, even on the removal of the prisoner. . _ GRAND NATIONAI.

We may safely assert that no two royal esta blishments in Europe combined can equal it. In it is comprised a specimen of almost every animal and bird, of every region, that the researches of man has made known to us.

THE SCUTS CHURCH, NiVALLOW-STREET Yesterday the Felder& Member., Fuel Seat.hohfere belonging to this congregation daermlileif hie the parpoee of voting on the call I of a almieter to the pagtord charge of their Church, in the MOM of the Rev. Mr. Mitchell, who had succeeded to the Ministry at Stirling. After divine service had been performed, the Rev. Dr. MANUEL. "%wed that at a yet) , numerous meeting lately held at this Chnrrh, where the Moat full and fair perntimion was given to every member to mimesis hie sentiments as to the fitness of the candidate to sue. geed their late Minister, it was put to the vote, and. with the ex. ception of six or seven members only, it was resolved that applies. tion should be made to the Presbytery to take the necessary steps with a view t o the m oderation of the call. This resolution having been presented to die Presbytery, t h at body had resolved that the call should :ee moderated oil Thursday, 6th January. by himself (Ire Manuel), who was accordingly appointed to preside on the 0CC.1% . . It was upon that appointment that lie now appeared before them. The resolution at the last meeting recommended the Rev. Win. Woodrow as • tit person to be appointed Minister of this Church. It was to collect their vote* upon the question whether this gentleman should not be appointed that the present meeting was held, and he trusted their attention would be confined to that subject alone. One of the Eentes then read several recomrtiendatory letters, written by the Rev. Dv. Dixon of Eilinburgh, the 11ev. Dr. Lock hart. the Rev. James Marshall of (Exegete, the Rev. Dr. Dower, the Rev. Henry Gray, end others, all of whom spoke in the highest terms of the piety, talents, and literary attainments of the Rev. Candidate, who was Reid to be the great-grandson of the celebrated historian of the Church of Scotland, and whit in the opinion oh' the writers. was a person in every way qualified to the Ministry of the Scots Church in Swallow-street. Another Etemn then moved that the Rev. Wm. Woodrow be called to the pastoral charge of this church and Congregation. A MEMBER seconded die motion, and said that so tar from hay. " ing changed his opinion since the last meeting : as to the fitness of ' the gentleman who bad been proposed, that opinion was consider ably advanced and strengthened, in consequence of the sermon which he preached to theist on Sunday last. The ability then displayed would bear blot nut in the opinion ' that the Rev. Candi. date would in a short time become an able and useful Minister. One thing particularly attracted his SWIM 1011 ; it was that the Rev. Gentleman made vett , little use of iris numuseript throtighoto the 'sermon. He felt this the more, because ft had been objected that too much use was made of notes; he teemed, however, this fact would prove that Mr. al'oodrow did not rely on foreign aid for the performance of Ma important charge, bet that his own resources. were amply sufficient, and that he would, when released front the embarrassing situation in which he had hitherto appeared, stand before them in the full vigour of his intellectual power. A degree of prejudice existed against Me Woodrow which was to be re gretted. Great allowances should be made foe him. Is was rot every mind that was so constructed as to fortify itself against the arduous trial to which the situation in which he had been placed fax the last two months had exposed blot. Besides, at t h ese pro. bathing, the sermons were attended to, ant with the usual can dour' and liberality of feeling, but with a critical nicety that pointed oot srd magnified every little error, either in the classical precision of the language, or in the logical arrangement and des rlopetnent of the subject Mr. STEVEetsom said nothing but a sense of duty induced him to occupy the attention of the meeting. He had been debarred by the Chairman. Pr. MANE a:6 Raid lie was not a Chairman ; he was the Mode. rater appointed by the Presbytery. It was not for the sake of any dignity attached to the situation, but is order to keep np the dis. unction, that be mentioned this. Mr. Stretemsomes continued, and said he bad objectioos to make to the proceedings of this day. The MODERATOR-1 must stop you. The Presbytery has sanctioned all that has been done, and I cannot permit any discus sion to take place respecting it. Mr. StrEvEssote— Dr. Manuel, vest have occupied that situa. tion when you knew you had no right undo so. (Order, order)" The situation which you unjustly took the last time you presided here gave an undue bias to the proceedings. Tire MODERATOR said that he would not be swerved from his duty or be brow-beaten. lie came there at the express appoint ment of the Presbytery, and not voluntarily. It was his wish to have avoided coining. He therefore repelled the observation, that he had any personal or individual feeling on either side. ilia mind was wholly unbiassed. Mr. STEVENSON then complained that Dr. had Tepee. rented that the application to the Presbytery was with the universal approbation of the congregation. which he denied. she MODERATOR observed, that as only six or seven pernitela dissented. no doubt Dr. Bligh's impression was that these was Is. animity ;' but he could nut permit any observation to be made in Br. Miles phraseology now. bir. Sr EPH ENIION. would not have alluded to the circumstance, but that it had been said that they had no occasion to be in love with brick and mortar, and that it they did not like the incumbent they might quit the church. (Cries of " Question !" and one Of two hisses.) " That cannot come from a member, send him back to the flock to which he belongs." The blonEltevon said such conduct was indecorous, and hoped the congregation would leave it to him to keep older, and avoid expressing either approbation or disapprobation.

Mr. ST F. v rwipx —No, but he said that the human soul was find annihilated, and then-- I Here again tile noise was so great that we lost the rest of the sentence.) The MODERATOR observed, that sometimes it happened that a -heater misunderstood the speaker. But a criticism upon a single point like that was too trifling to be listened to. They had had Mr. Womlrow among them two months, and were certainly coin ' petent to judge of the fitness of his general character, without re sorting to elicit quibbles. Mr. STErEesuet then expressed in general terms his opinion of the want of ability in the candidate, and moved as an amendment , that die signing of the call of the Rev. Mr. Woodrow be postponed situ die, and that the pulpit of this church be left open fur other candidates. The amendment being seconded— The MODERATOR wits about to put it to the vote, when— " A GENTLEMAN who stated he had been a member of the con gregation for thirty years. complained that he and many others had been deceived by the proceedings of the Elders, rind that a requisi. lion had in consequence been presented to the meeting, requiring the time of the call to be prolonged until the whole of the members hail had an apportueity of expressing their opinions as to the fitness of the candidate, and also in order that other candidates might offer themselves. But this requisition had not been attended to, al though signed by upwards of sixty persons, and the call had been precipitated in a manner that had taken the majority of the congre. gation by surprise. The MODERATOR said he could not hear any discussion upon what had already been approvdd of by the Presbytery ; it was all irrelevant, and he dared not, at his peril, permit it. The 31 E SIDER repeated his observations, and said that lie and the other requisitionists had been treated with contempt by Mr. Burney, one of the vestry, who had returned their requisition with out presenting it. Several other members, and persona who were not such, but *eat holders merely, spoke on this subject, some contending that the congregation were not fairly dealt with, and others, on the con teary, alleging that endue means had been resorted to for obtaining tie:lgume to the requisition. The MoriEue•ron made many efforts to prevent such irregu larity, but could not prevail, and was at length compelled to say that has only alternative would be to retire to the at-stay-room. lie told them that the call would not invest the person called with :he living of the church ; it must be previously laid before the Pres bytery, who were open to the petitions of any members who might be dissatisfied with the present Moderation. Mr. laesTER said, though not a member himself. he had had five children baptised in die church by the Rte. Mr. Mitchell, and he wished to know whether by that gentleman's accepting another minim'' , he thereby illegalised those baptisms? lie had been informed that such was the case. No answer wait given to this question. Mr. LEST Elt then complained of the charge brought against him of having forged the name of a person to the requisition. He denied it ; and called upon the Moderator either to have the charge substantiated or refuted. The 310 DER AT OR kept his seat, apparently determined not to proceed further until all the seattholders who were not members had retired from the body of the church, as they had been frequently requested to tin. The Rev. Doctor at length addressed the congre gation. and said his patience had been tried to an extreme degree. The character of the Presbytery bad, through him. not only been most flagrantly trampled upon and disgraced, but his own personal character and respectability wounded and insulted, by the contlect of persons who, in so sacred a place, anti on so solemn an occasion. ought to have suffered their feelings to be constrained by the spirit of ClirStian liberality and forbearance. Order liming been at length obtained, the amendment was put and neeatived ; after which the original motion was put, and car. ried by a large majority. The call to die Rev. Wm. WOODROW was then read. The 31°1)1:BATOR put it to the vote that this call be adopted mil signed. Those persons who voted for the original motion held up their hands. On the question in die negative being put, not one hand was held up. The :%10DERATOR- 1 am happy to say that this is the most delightful part a the whole proceedings of this day ; not a hand did I see held up when the question came as to the individual ; and It does the greatest credit to the feelings of those who in the veer eise of their discretion had thought proper to oppose the motion for the call. The MODERATO% then addressed the meeting in his character of a Al Mister, +lnd hoped that nn angry or unkind feelings would be carted outside the walls of that Church. Theusual blessing haring been dispensed. the congregation re trcd, apparently with feelings or mutual good-will. DINNER TO GEORGE ROBERT DAWSON, ESQ. M.P. [From the Londondrrry North Wrst Parmer of Saturday lashl . On Wednesday, a grand dinner was given by upwards of one hundred anti fifty Gentlemen of this county to Mr. Dawson. in compliment of his don inguished services as Member for the county. anti as a proof of the high regard which all his constituents have both for his public and his private conduct. This city esbibited a gay appearance on the momingpf the day. from the number of gentlemen flocking in from all parts of the county to pay this compliment to th'lr distinguished representa tive, and we do not think that nn any similar occasion we ever witnessed so large an a.sambly of wealthy and independent indi ' iriduala. It must have proved a most gratifying day to Mr. Daw son, and is the proudest trlump:i of integrity and honesty which we have witnessed for many years. Precisely at at% o'clock, Mr. Dawson was received in the recep. ; tint) room by the Steivards. Sir G. F. Hill, Sir Robert Bateson. i Sir Robert Ferguson, Sir James Bruce, Barns— Barre Heretofore, Cannily Gage, W. H. Ash, and Marcus S. Hill, Esqrs.

R. Dawson, Esq., who has, this evening, hononrad us with his company. Many gentlemen may differ with hint on some poli tical questions, but I am certain we all feel, in common, the claim be he upon our gratitude, for the drcirtod and manly part lie took cn the vital question of Catholic Entancipation, during the late 5E400.11 of Parliament, and that, by so doing, he expressed the sentimen's of the wealthy and respectable residents of this cony... He has now, Gentlemen, been three times elected your Bepresenitifive, end eaclSession has droved him more worthy of your confidence. His high situation makes his constant attendance in Parliament nem- Nary ; his abilities enable, and his inclinations lead him, to study the interests of this county in particular, and of Ireland in general. Ile would therefore conclude by proposing his health with every demonstration of applause Which It is pose ' hie to confer upopidm." " George Hobert Dawson, F:sq. and long may lie continue our Representative."—Three times three. "Orange and Blue." It is impossible to convey any idea of the enthusiasm with ivhich this toast was received. Ihe acclamations of the company lasted for several minutes; they were succeeded by the clapping of hands and every other demonstration of public feeling; after that soh. sided, the fettling of the company broke forth into a teeth repetition of the same ard-ur. Mr. Dawson was evidently overpowered, and, upon recovering ltimself, spoke to the following effect :- 1 " When he looked around and beheld the company with which he was surrounded, when he hated the voice of 'approbation stir sounding in his ears, it was impossible not to reel proud at such a moment. Years of devotion to the public service would be amply repaid by such a tribute of public approbation, and whatever may baltis fate in life, whether prosperous or unhappy, he should look back to this moment as one of thchappiest periods of his existence, as the best reward for his humble services, as die noblest incentive to continued exertion. This public and avowed expression of their approbation had left him nothing more to wish for. Fortune had made him independent; lie had no occasion, as he ousted he had Dever 010114 an inclination, tool - melt to the powerful, or cringe to the wealthy ; but he did cherish an ambition to gain the 'Nina will of his fellow-citizens by a sincere devotion to their cause, tied by a deitite to contribute his bumbleaservicento promote the general goad. To find that he had succeeded in this honest ambition was his best and greatest reward ; and when be looked around and be. held the large, the independent company bete assembled; when he saw gentlemen of the first fortune and station in the county. merchants of the firs: respectability and character, the Clergy of the Established Church, and the allergy of the Presbyterian per suasion, both combining all the character, information, and piety so befitting to make them the. ornaments of their altered 'order ; when he saw citizens of this retail: spirited and intelligent city, all assembled here to pay him the compliment of approving of his public exertiods, he should, indeed, be insensible to the best feelings of human nature, if he did not feel more than ordinary pride and gratitude on such an occasion. Gentlemen, be assured that no man living can appreciate the com p liment in a more grate ful manner than the individual 'No now &Omega you—it is, in deed, the best recompense for the devotion of time, and, be might add. for the sacrifice of health, which a punctual attendance upon Parliamentary and official ditties entails upon public men. To re present o u r fellow-citizens in Parliament, is, no doubt, the high est honour to which any commoner can aspire ; but it is often forgotten, in the attainment of this honour, how much itf private happiness and domestic comfort is sacrificed. The experience of ten years had convinced him, that a consciencious discharge of Parliamentary labour leaves a man no other satisfaction then that which arises from the consciousness_ of performing our duty. If it wee sat from this hope--a hope confirmed by the delight. ful testimony which your presence this evening affords, what could compensate for the sacrifice of time and the almost total loan of domestic comfort and private society which the daily at tendance in Parliament entails ? On such an occasion he might allude to the execution of his Parliamentary duties without an; imputation of vanity, and, lie might say, that during ten long years he was neeer absent from his place in Parliament upon 317 discussion relating to the affairs or interests of Ireland. ~ hen he reflected, therefore, that these discussions have em. brazed every subject connected witlethe prosperity, the peace, and the internal management of the country, had he not reason to be proud of their approbation at having preserved a steady and con. sistent course ? During the last four years, the attention of Probe ment had been almost exclusively devoted to Irish business. States.. men of the first rank, and men of the tiest-tate talents, have applied themselves incesnintly to devise remedies for the unfortunate out. dition of the country, and it is not too much to say that no natiot in the sante period has had so many abuses reformed, act rushy sa• lutary laws enacted, and such a inundation laid for future prosperity and lumpiness as Ireland. This attention has pervaded every part of oar dioneatic administration. The collection of the revenue has been simplified, and a more complete identification of the interest of the two countries has been made, by removing absurd re. strictions upon trade, and by introducing one common system of managing the pecuniary affairs of the two islands. The Courts of Justice have been regulated, from the highest officer dowr through every gradation of persons connected with the admi nistratiun of justice; the most wholesome laws have been in. troduced Inc regulating the property of the Church, and for establishing its character eat on the surest foundations, namely, .he good will and affection of the people. The peace of the country has been secured by a wise and efficient system of constabulary, and a system of examination into every abuse, and of collection for every evil, hare been the sole study both of the English and Irish Government. Ile was aware that this was not the proper opportunity for discussing such subjects, and he should not abuse their patience by a recapitulation of the labours of Par. !lament in the affairs of Ireland. This much, however, he wrighi be permitted to say, that the prosperity of the country and the con. tenement of the people. at least in thin part of the empire, are to best penes of the soundness and wisdom of those views *hive his ]Majesty's Government have adopted for establishing the wealth, the peace, and the prosperity of Ireland. There is, however, one question of tuck paramount importance, with respect to Ireland, that it is impossible to omit it even in the sketch of it' history—he meant the Catholic Question. It is impossible to OW rate the interest which it excites in every part of the empire ; it i he was aware, the chief inducement of gathering together th reopectahle assemblage ; and in every part of the county which lie had visited, he had found the sante zeal, the sane determination, to resist any further encroachment upon th Constitution. Ilappy, indeed, would it be, if the Protestant of Ireland were alive to the dangers of their own situation• hut they seem to labour under a blind infatuation as to a signs of the times, or imprudently yield up their judgmet to false notions of liberality. The engines with which tho Cat h lies work in both countries are admirably suited to effect their oh jects ; anti, unless their artifices are held up to public examinatiote they may prove successful when it will be too late to cournerat them. In Ireland they work by intimidation—in England by' slower but not less sure method of disarming tire hostility of I people, by publications which either conceal the errors of their ret, gion, or which contradict the accusations of history ugainat them, The system in Ireland is short and simple. The country is empha. tically called their own inheritance, and every man who venture to give an opinion adverse to their interest, be he high or be he los is denounced as en enemy to his country. The 1110f1 outrageous reproaches, and the most unmeasured abuse, are pouted forth against all *lto do not enlist under their banners ; and at one time the manly and constitutional declaration of the heir presumptive of the Crown is seized hold of, in order to level the most personal abase against him, and the most disgusting souks upon hr ; and at another time the manifestation of public feeling England draws forth from one of Cie oracles of the factisn a deli berate declaration. that he glories in the disasters and misfortunes of the times. In England each nn attempt would be too monstrous to succeed ; and, it' begun, would et once cause such an alarm and commotion, that no power of man could stem the torrent against them. The cool, calculating, and acute leaders of the Catholics in England have recourse, therefore. to the slower method of seeming and undermining the Constitution ; and it Is wonderful nab what apathy they have been allowed hitherto - to carry on their operations. A few examples will suffice to give sonic notion of these proceedings. It is the object of the Catholic writers in England (and some most acute and intelligent men are employed in the task), it in the object of die Catholic writers to lull the suspicions of the people of England, by mitigating the harsh tenets of their religion, and by falsifying or (tenpin; all the which history present, agitates 01e111. It i s now asserted England had better have remained a Catholic country, as Retiormation has neither tended to the establishment of liberty nor to the eneonragement of literature—that the Church of Eng land is.quad in intolerance to the Church of Rome—that the doctrine of indulgence* is harmless—that auricular confession, the acknowledged practice or the Protestant Church—that pray ere for the deed, and purgatory, have been maintained by some of the most eminent of the Protestant Divines—that be iavotatior ''. . . • F • . . . • .... 1 • ' ei ' • . . •, P • ' 4 . • I, ~ 1 .., ~ • ' ! .... of Saints is the name as in our Church—and that our i I of absolution differs in ;to respect from the Roman C:rubellit r d ice.
