Th ey called at last at the s3r°ileurricea con vent, were courteously received, and when they asked for the lady already spoken of, they were at once told that she had left for the convent of Sterpehin, in Dorsetshire (not Staplehurst, in Glocestershire), the address of which was given them. You more than insinuate that a - telegraph had reached this lady before these people saw her. This is quite untrue, as there had been no communication with her. The very intimation implies that the interview did not furnish proof of what the inquisitors were in quest of. After a lapse of so many years, you now give us the first account of that interview from your own side, and I can only say that it is diametrically opposed to the account written at the time by the lady herself and addressed to the sisters of her former convent. The lady herself left that convent also after a time at her own instance, and after trying several others in France, she was finally, on her own petition, released from all conventual engagements. I cannot content myself with this brief statement of the facts, which have been so shamefully abused. I feel that I have another duty to these much injured ladies. I wish to make a straightforward appeal to your own honour mid right feeling as an English gentleman, as a man of good descent, a magistrate, and a neighbour of the ladies in ques tion. I put it to you whether, supposing that what yeti have asserted before Parliament and the world respecting these convents and their inmates proves to be untrue, will it not follow as a matter of course that you have inflicted upon a number of innocent and accomplished ladies an amount of injury an d wrong so grievous as to require all the reparatio n in your power? Well, then, I will make you a fair proposal, believing that, however much you have been misled, you have yet the mind and heart of a gentleman. I propose to give you a meeting at each of the convents in question. Let it be in the presence of some Protestant nobleman of the neigh bourhood. I am not personally acquainted either with the Earl of liarrowby or the Earl of Lichfield, but they are generally known to be men of high character and staunch Protestants, as well as near neighbours of the principal convent of the two, and the one most brought intoquestion. I feel assured that neither of them would decline assisting in so great an act of - humanity. I propose that you, in C0112,-. pang with one or both of those noblemen, should yo over Ms whole of the establishments as much as you like, and converge with the members of the communities as much as you desire. I have had no communication with the communities since I read your speech, nor shall I interfere myself further than by being at hand at the time of your visit, in order to faci litate your entrance, and to give any information required. I will leave you as much as you choose to yourselves, merely stipulating, as a matter of delicacy to the ladies and their friends, that a Catholic gentleman shall also be in your com pany, and iI I mention the name of Lord Edward Howard, Ido so, not that I have had any communication with him on the sub ject, but because he is a leading English Catholic member of Parliament. While I disclaim all right of inquisition into the domes.. tic affairs of those ladies, as I do into those of any private family, for their vindication on this one sole occasion I make this offer, subject to the understanding that if, to the satisfaction of Lord Harrowby or Lord Lichfield, or both, it is proved that no grounds appear for the statements you have set before the world, you will then make those ladies a reparation as public as the' injury you have inflicted.—l have the honour to be, Sir, your very obedient servant, W. B. ULLAMORNE. To C. N. Newdegate, Esq., M.P. THE PALL-MALL GAZETTE. The PALL- iIALL GAZE rTE is now published as a MORNING REVIEW as well as an EVENING NEWS PAPER. The design the Proprietors had from the first is thus car ried out. They thought it judicious to test their machinery and the taste of the public before undert king a double labour. And now, satisfied with the experiment in both cases, and urged by frequent dem ands for the p a p er f rom distant plac es w h ere an evening journal is not easily ob. taintql, they have resolved on publishing the MORNING REVIEW. The Morning Edition contains a review of the Par:ia mentary proceedings of th' previous night, and a few para graphs of special intelligence. The rest of the paper is com posed of Original Articles. To provide the News looked for in a morning newspaper is so gre t undo to log, and ne that is already so fully ac complished by halt a doz n journ,ls, that the Proprietors of the PALL-MALL GAZI..Tr I , : do not attempt it. But to any ore of these newspaper' the PALL-MALL GAZ e.TT will add n Series of Original Articles such as 18 provided in no other dal y parer. The I'ALL-MALL GAZMTTE is still published as an EVENING NEWS t'APER. But deferring to the wishes of some subscribers who wish to have the Evening News and the Mon y Market report at greater length, the paper is en larged by four p ,ges. 018 e, 14, absbury-street, Strand, W.O. The Queen's Levee. (From the Court Newsman) By command of the Queen a Levee was held yes terday, at St. James's Palace, by his Royal High ness the Prince of Wales, on behalf of her Ma jesty. Presentations to his Royal Highness at this Court are considered, by the Queen's pleasure, as equivalent to presentation to her Majesty. The Prince of Wales, attended by his gentlemen in waiting, arrived from Marlborough House about two o'clock, and was received by the great officers of State of the Queen's household. The Foreign Ambassadors and Ministers were in troduced in the order of their precedence, when the following presentations to the Prince of Wales, on behalf of the Queen, took place in the diplomatic circle:—By his Excellency the Russian Amaassador, M. Le Contre-Admiral Boutakow (Russian Navy), and M. Le Prince Alexandre Ouroussow (Attaché of Embassy). The diplomatic circle was well attended. His Excellency the Austrian Ambassador was prevented from attending the levee by indisposition. The Netherlands Envoy was also unavoidably ab sent from the death of her Majesty the Queen Dowager of Holland. The general circle was numerously attended. The following presentations to the Prince of Wales, on behalf of the Queen, took place, the names having been previously left at the Lord Chamberlain's Office, and submitted for her Majesty's approval : Mr. Augustus B.

Sir,—Although I have not the advantage of your per sonal acquaintance, your speech of last Friday in the Rouse of Commons on the subject orconvents and your direct use of my name justify me in addressing you. You have spoken of two communities of ladies ---the one your neighbours in North Warwickshire, the other not very far off in North Staffordshire. Of these ladies, though deserving ae high respect as any of your countrywomen, you spoke in a way that nothing short of having been blinded by more designing persons can possibly palliate. I have been the ecclesiastical superior of one of these com munities for 18 years and of the other since its foundation; and after carefully reading the Times' report of your speech I solemnly, and with full knowledge of the facts, declare that there is not a statement in it, so far as it concerns those convents, which is not substantially erroneous in what it directly or by implication alleges against them. In the one convent referred to, whatever caves or cellars there may be were built by Lord Tamworth, the former owner of the house, for domestic purposes, and have been used for no other ever since. The other convent nearer your residence happens also to be built on inclined ground ; and as Dr. Newman was compelled to say in defence of his own Oratory in 1851, " Catholics have a predilection for hori zontal floors." A large structure like a convent so situated necessitates a considerable cellarage. But in every form and shape of denial I deny that in any part of those esta blishments there are or ever have been, whether under or above ground, cells or cellars, apartments, or contrivances of any kind, for the purpose or use of locking up or detain ing, or in any way restraining the personal liberty of nuns, or any other persons whatever. I equally deny that any nun has ever been put into any.bonds or chains or anything of the sort ; or that bars, grates, or locks have ever been used, except to keep out thieves and intruders; or except to separate the internal from the domestic part of the establish ment during the night; or to part the chancel of the church from the choir of the nuns, for which purpose there is a metal screen that any one may See. There is also one room arranged for private interviews upon occasion be tween members of the community and their spiritual direc tors, and, consequently, parted into compartments by a wooden screen. I believe that the story about a nun having been seen in a wooden cage has been suggested by the sight of this par lour; and 1 believe that the other story about a nun hav ing been seen in chains, which I was recently challenged to contradict, originated from the simple faet that every nun carries a large rosary suspended by her side; a jingling sound from the links of such a rosary may have been heard while some nun waiting in the confessional was using it at her prayers, though it could not have been seen, even by persons passing into the vestry of the church, where the laity are admitted. The history of the removal of the ladies who formerly occupied the convent in North Warwickshire is untrue in every point. Those excellent persons were once a flourish ing community in Belgium, but had become reduced ;in numbers to a very few aged members ; the house was too large for their needs, and they sold it to the present occu pants, s,and retired to a smaller house in anot h er part of the country. Thestory of the lady who left her convent and came to Birmingham is mis-stated from beginning to end ; I published an authentic statement of the facts in the newspapers at the time of the occurrence, which possibly has not come under your notice. The simple facts are these :—A lady who had been for many years a voluntary and contented member of the community, petitioned her superiors for leave to pass into a more austere order, on the plea of gaining greater spiritual perfection. Being one day at the convent on busi ness, the question was referred to me. On what I con ceived to be prudential grounds I counselled her to remain by preference under the milder observance to which she was habituated. I supposed the matter settled, and gave it no more thought. But after my return to Birmingham that night, to my utter surprise that lady came soon after to my house, having trav e ll e d i n th e same train with me without my knowing it. She told me she had left the convent un known to the community, as any member of it might easily do, and had followed me to entreat that I would facilitate her transition to amore austere community, assuring me that she had not a complaint to m a k e, b u t th at s h e earnest l y wished the change. I then said that consideration for her family and for all concerned requi re d th a t thi s s h ou ld b e doneinuplrd go proper order, and that as sh e was b en t upon it, if she we f h back, I would ret urn w ith h er , and arrangeth s e e re eanae stly desired.

The privacy of the telegraph n officed to h have beensabused, not an In short, the result of the inquiry, as re ported to me by an officer of the company, differed in several particulars from that which you, Sir, ha ve stated in Parliament. After those events hired spies were set about the esta blishment for weeks. An institution contrary to the spirit of the British constitution was brought into play; a per son, who keeps what is called a " Private Inqui," was sent to ply his disgraceful trade among thery-office working people employed by the convent.

I might fairly, as a member of the House of Commons, plead the privilege of the house against any further explanation or proof of the truth of what I stated on Friday last in my place, and I feel some hesitation in giving any further explanation, since the house refused to appoint a committee to inquire into the facts which I alleged. You, reverend sir, do not stand in a very favourable position when you seem to feel compelled to suggest an inquiry into the facts I alleged ever since the debates upon the Ecclesiastical Titles Act in 1851. The direct action of the hierarchy with which you aro connected through or upon the Roman Catholic members of the House of Commons has been obvious to every member of the house who has taken an interest in such questions as that de bated on Friday last. Lord Edward Howard, whom you suggest as a party to the private inquiry you propose, voted against the inquiry by a committee of the House of Commons, for which I moved. So did Sir George Bowyer, while MI. Pope Hen nessy and Mr. Vincent Scully both spoke and voted against the inquiry, as I believe did every other Roman Catholic member present on the division. Had you, and the hierarchy with which you are con nected, used your influence in favour of the legitimate in quiry I proposed, I have no doubt that the Rouse of Com mons would have appointed a proper tribunal to undertake it, since 79 members voted for my motion, and only 106, including members of the Government, against it. I utterly refuse to be any party to the private inquiry you propose. I publicly named you, because I knew that you assumed to be the superior of the convents I mantloned, a fact which in your letter you admit, and that you are responsible for the return of the lady to the convent at Colwich, from Which you do not deny that she had escaped. You appeal to me as a gentleman, as a magistrate, and as a member of the House of Commons. In each of those capacities I refuse to avail myself of the authority over these convents which you assume, in order to intrude upon their inmates the sort of extra-judicial inquiry you suggest, in the manner you propose. But you aro resident in Birmingham, and in the House of Commons I alluded to two convents in North Warwick.. shire, andl shall not permit your interpretaion of what you suppose that I said to pass without explanation on my part. You have trusted to the report of what I said which is given in the Times newspaper. That report is less full and therefore less accurate than the reports in the Standard and Morning Post newspapers. The report in the Times does not contain the documents which I read in the house. I regret this, and am not aware that I am in any way account able for the omission. But I see that in all the reports there is a confusion as to the convents in North Warwickshire to which I alluded. And this is not unnatural, for when I was speaking of them there was a noise made at the end of the house towards the bar on the side on which I sit. These interruptions are not uncommon, and I turned my head from the reporters to see from whom this noise proceeded. I alluded first to the convent at Princethorp, with respect to the doors fixed in the underground cells, or cellars, if you so please to describe these underground apartments of that convent, and to the locks placed upon those doors during the construction of that convent, with respect to which I received detailed information from the late Mr. Charles Ball, master builder, at Nuneaton. I mentioned this information in the House of Commons first during the debate on the Ecclesiastical Titles Bill in 1851, and then in 1853, during the debate on the introduction of Mr. Cham ber's Bill for the Inspection of Convents. You were then superior of that convent. My assertion was never dis proved, and I must remind you that in an investigation such as I proposed on Friday last mere unsupported denial would carry little weight. _ I next alluded to the attempted escape from the convent atAtherstone, and to the fact that 15ewt. of iron stancheons or bars were immediately after the attempt to escape fixed to the windows of that convent, and to the subsequent re moval of the community of nuns who inhabited that con vent. You do not deny the last of these facts, but account for it in your own way. When I stated these facts as con nected with this convent in the debate in 1853 the facts were denied by some Roman Catholic members in the house, but the impression produced by the statement of them, taken together with the other facts at that time alleged, couldhave had little weight with the house, for the majority seemed to think, with the late Mr. Drummond, that the power of denial on the part of some Roman Catholic mem bers of the house was on these subjects so wonderful that the house decided to consider a measure for testing these denials by the establishment of an inspection of convents. My residence is notmore than six miles from Atherstone, and I had made an investigation into the facts I alleged on the spot before I ventured to state them to the house. Thus much I have replied with respect to the convents in North Warwickshire, of which I am one of the representatives in Parliament, and within which I act as a convent ein magistrate. sub mitted Staffordshire.

I know not what alterations may have been subse quently made ; all traces of them, if any have been made, are by this time, probably, so far obliterated as to render the discovery of any such alterations almost impossible during the casual visit you propose. The grass must have grown for years over the graves within the precincts of that convent, and the inscriptions connected with some of them are probably effaced. No, rev. sir, I will be no party to any such extra-judicial inquiry as you propose. Your letter, though bearing sem blance of fairness, is artistically written. There is a con fusion as to times and places in ft which warns me to be no party to any partial or local inquiry into the subject of the evidence which I possess with respect to the convent at Colwich, and from which I spoke on Friday last.
