The object of this Company is to s ipply• the inhabitants of the Southern, and a portion of the northern, districts of the metropolis with the pure water of the River Wandle, in lieu of that which they at present derive through the established Companies from the Thames, contaminated as it is by the sewerage of the whole Metropolis. The River Wandle rises at Croydon, and fal's into the Thames at Wandsworth: The water will be taken from the mouth of the river, thus avoiding compensation to the millowners and others on the stream. This river willbe preserved uncontaminated by means of a series 9f sewers cc nstructed along its course, into which every impurity now finding its way into the stream will be turned, and flow direct into the Thames. By this mode a pure supply of water, exe,eedl7.g in the driest sea-son 27,000,000 gallons daily, or more than tour ti.: es the quantity supplied by the present Companies on the south side, will be secured to this Company. This project, which is of real and undoubted importance, will com mand a most profitable return on the outlet-, and confer a b...0n on the immense population of the districts in question.

The object proposed by this railway is, as well to supply the wants Of the district through which it passes, as to complete the chain of railway communication between the eastern and midland counties and the western district, including the whole of North and South Wales. The country embraced by this line is of the richest description, and thickly populated. By means of this, and the existing and projected lines of railway, the whole of the ports in the eastern and north-eastern counties, in cluding the manufacturing city of Norwich, and towns '.st• Leicester, Nottingham,Sheffield, and Leeds, and the whole of Yorkshire, will lbe brought i n direct communication with the mi nera l di s t r i c t s o f North and SOuth Wales, the salt district of Droitwich, and the river Severn. The promoters of this line submit to the public, as a most import ant consideration, the abating of those causes of loss and inconveni ence which, along the line of country over which this railway will I,_ess,eare experienced from water carriage being from necessity at a l - , I,n_t.a rcipal mode of transit for heavy gooas and merchandise, 'n bleb, in the winter season, is productive of the most evil eon menees to those A ' - engaged in commerce. iisanifest dvantage to the Shareholders will be the extent of traffic whichin lieu will be, secured and appropriated by the present undertaking, stots.A:s eaaiiiitat which hitherto has been engrossed by the more - of water carriage. trnlitioned ally of the above •e advantage to the inhabitants gener .. . n Pile,. nt, ..tlistricts, the promoters submit that the equalisation s line of ra 4 , 1 , - : Pl:oduce and merchandize which the opening of th s l in e of 4 , 4 1' is.ealculated to produce is of the highest ; importance, l akis t , as" tilt Prinej . s4 Th e „ t o e alone oap.ible of producing.

The whole of the traffic upon the South Wales line passing to the Eastward of Chepstow will be carried on this line ; added to which the coal and mineral traffic from the Forest of Dean (which, from the Eastern side to Gloucester, has been estiraated upon authentic documents and information, at upwards of 30P,000 tons; and from the Western or Lydney and Chepstow side the same amount of traffic may ►safely be calculated upon), amounting to 600,000 tons per an num (the produce of the Forest alone), must be carried upon the line, independent of the local passenger traffic and an extended trade in the produce of the Forest, which will necessarily follow the facilities offered by the proposed railroad. The revenue from this source alone will give a very handsome di vidend upon the capital to be expended, which is expected will not exceed three-fourths of the intended capital. _ _ . It is proposed to make branches to th Collieries and Iron Works in the Forest, to the present or any new Ports which may suggest themselves on the Severn ; and to make the River Wye, at Chep stow, the port of foreign export, where vessels of any size can enter free from the dangers and difficulties attendant upon the navigation of the Severn, consequent upon the rocks and shirting sands in that river. It is Inten.led to build a bridge across the Severn at Gloucester, which will in no way obstruct the navigation ; and the proposed Gloucester and Aberystwith Company will no doubt he ready to join this Company in the expense, if they obtain their Act. The cost of the intended line from Chepstow to Gloucester, including the bridge at Gloucester, and the one over the River Nye, at Chepstow, to join the South Wales, with branches to the Collieries, Iron Works, and the Severn, is not expected to exceed 450,0001., but it is intended to provide a capital of 600,0001. to meet any contingencies which may arise. A reference to the map will show the self-evident importance of this line as essential to the perfecting the great project of the South Wales Hallway Company (who have obtained their Act of Parlia ment for a railroad from Fishguard and Milford Haven to Chepstow) connecting it with the principal railways of the kingdoni, at Gloucester, and making it the direct road to London, via Cheltenham and Oxford, for effecting which projects are now before the public with most influential support. The line is twenty-six miles in length, has no engineering difficulties; the gradients and curves are extremely goof, and works liuht. It may with - very great 7ottfidence be asserted, that there is scarcely a short line of railroad in the kingdom which offers greater advantages to the Shareholders than the present. Pro via on will be made in the Act of Parliament which will be applied for in the next Session to limit the liability of the Shareholder to the amount of his Shares, and to allow tour per cent. on the calls.- Applications for Shares to be made to the Solicitors, or to Messrs.

EDMUNDS RAILWAY. • A Company is in the course of formation for the construction of a RAILWAY from the City of ELT to the Town of BURY ST. EDMUNDS. The Line will commence by a Junction at Ely with the Eastern Counties, Lynn and Ely, and Ely and Huntingdon Railways, and will terminate at Bury by a Junction with the Ipswich and Bury Railway. Its object is to preserve the mercantile connexion which has for generations subsisted between the county of Suffolk, the town of Bury, and the Port of Lynn, and to afford. to Ipswich, Colchester, and Bury, and all that portion of the kingdom, a direct communica tion with the manufacturing districts. The distance from Bury, and consequently from all places eastward of that town to Peterborough—the point at which so many Lines pass ing from the south and east to the north and north-west converge— will, by the Ely and Bury Line, be ten miles shorter than the route to that City by way of Cambridge.

A direct communication from Yarmouth to the Metropolis is of the utmost importance to the port and trade of Yarmouth. The pre sent route by the Norwich and Yarmouth and Norwich and Brandon Railways, now called the Norfolk Railway, conveys the Yarmouth traffic to London round by Brandonaly, and Cambridge, to join the Northern and Eastern Railway—a distance of 146 miles. The ter minus of the Nortblk Railway at Yarmouth is acknowledged to he most inconvenient for the London trade, and the claims which it has upon Yarmouth are confined to the communication with Norwich and the western and north-western districts. _el very large traffic exists between Yarmouth, Lowestoft, Beccles, Bungay, Halesworth, Harlestose, and Diss ; and also between all those important towns and Bury St. Edmund's, Stowmarket, Ipswich, and London. To supply the wants of these districts the Waveney Valley and Yar mouth Railway is designed ; and it will shorten the distance between Yarmouth and London twenty-four miles. It is intended to construct the terminus upon the best site as near to Yarmouth-bridge as practictble. The line will communicate with the quays, so as to take goods from the vessels on the river without transhipment or immediate carriage, thus saving considerable ex pense. This railway will run to the town of Weeks, thence to Bun gay (with a branch to Halesworth), to Harleston, and Hiss, commu nicating there with the Eastern Union Extension Railway, and by means of that line to Stowmarket, Bury, Ipswich, Colchester, Chelms ford, and London. At Diss the railway will te within three miles of the important market town of Eye, to which a branch may be ad , . vantageously constructed. In Its course to Beccles it will cross the Lowestoft and Reedham line, and will afford the shortest communi cation from Lowestoft to London. The whole length of the main line will not exceed thirty-three miles, and the branch to Hales worth will be about nine miles. The population of the district through which it runs, taking the parishes within three miles of the line, is upwards of 100,000, according to the last census. The valley is one of the richest agricultural districts in England ; it produces large crops of grain, and abounds with rich pasturage, a very large portion of the barley is malted at Harlestone, Halesworth, Bungay, and Mules, and supplied to the large London brewers. The export of corn and flour from Yarmouth exceeds that of any port in the kingdom, the average being yearly 43.5,690 quarters. 70,(00 tons of goods and 173,485 tons of coals are annually im ported into Yarmouth to supply the wants of the district. There are 574 reglsteied vessels, comprising a tonnage of 50,375, belunging to Great Yarmouth, and 3,400 ships yearly enter that port. Up- - wards of 100 vessels are employed in the mackerel fishery, and 200 in the herring fishery ; the capital employed in these trades ex ceeds half a million of money. In addition to the above, very many other fishing craft are em ployed in catching turbot, soles, cod, haddock, whitings, shrimps, &c., the greater part of which are sent to London ; and, as the fishing banks of the North Sea present an inexhaustible supply of these com modities, and the metropolis an almost boundless market for cheap and good fish, it may confidently be expected that the immediate and permanent effect of a quick transit between the two places will be a vast increase in this branch of traffic ; and it is anticipated that large quantities of Scotch salmon will be landed at Yarmouth, to avoid the tedious passage between this part of the coast and the metropolis. An immense quantity of live stock Is sent from the district of this railway to London, which, in the event of this line being made, must pass upon it. Yarmouth is Increasing extensively as the watering-place of the eastern coast. A great number of houses have recently been erected, to accommodate the requirements of visitors during the season, and many others of a first class are now in course of building. The traffic on this line of road has been taken, and is estimated to produce, Independently of the fish carriage, a return of 439,483 0 0 To this add for fish traffic from Lovrestoft, according to the present quantity supplied to the London market, calculated at a low rate • • .... 3,727 0 0 And for fish traffic from Yarmouth, according to the same data•.•• Making £52,710 0 0 Deduct 40 per cent, for working expenses ...... .... 21,084 0 0 Leaving a net revenue £31,626 0 0 which upon the capital of 400,0001. will make a return of eight per cent The distances will be as follows : From Yarmouth to Diss .... ••••••• • • • • • • • 33 miles.

The traffic has been taken very moderately, and it may be fairly calculated that the amount will be very considerably increased by increased trade (particularly In Ash, cattle, and grain), when the road is opened, and the facilities which railways afford are developed to a country hitherto unaccommodated with such ad vantages. The line has been carefully surveyed, and no engineering difficulty presents itself. It may be constructed very cheaply and speedily. The Waveney Valley forms a natural level channel without a single impediment; and where the line leaves the valley the cuttings are not heavy, and are required fur the necessary embankments in the lower lands. This railway is brought forward with the general concurrence and approval of the country and towns through which it passes. It is now the universal opinion that this line is absolutely required by the district, and that without it the trade of this portion of the country will materially suffer, and consequently the value of property be depreciated by the competition of those neighbouring towns to which the great advantages of railway communication have been granted. Provision will be taken in the Act to allow four per cent. interest on the deposit and calls until the line is constructed. Powers will be taken in the Act to drain the marsh lands of the valley through which the line passes.

This railway will proceed from York to Lancaster (about 72 miles) by the most direct practicable route, and pass near Knaresborough, Harrowgate, Long Preston, Settle, and many other important places. The counties of York and Lancaster comprise a population of 3,500,000 persons, and are, perhaps, the most wealthy and populous divisions of the kingdom. The roads ly tween York and Lancaster are mostly carried over the tops of hills, and, in winter, are nearly impassable ; this line will pass along the valleys, and the journey, now rarely made, by coach, within twelve hours, may be perforated, on the railway, in two hours and a half. It will provide facilities of access to all the great manufacturing, mining, and agricultural districts of the north of England, to the Isle of Man, Ireland, Scotland, and Webs; to Hamburg'', by connecting Morecombe Bay and Fleetwood Harbour on the west coast with the port of Hull on the east coast; to the lakes of Westmoreland and Cumberland; to Harrogate, celebrated for its unrivalled sulphur, mineral, and chalybeate springs; and to the important intermediate districts between York and Lancaster, which abound with valuable minerals, and raise vast quantities of live stock and agricultural pro duce. Many places near the intended course of the line are known to possess inexhaustible supplies of lead, iron. Slate, limestone, free stone, and other useful minerals, but these are now comparatively unavailing, from the great cost of coals and carriage. The railway will rapidly develop these sources of prosperity, by Introducing coals at a low price, and providing cheap carriage for mineral produce of every kind; it will also furnish a most desirable means of transit for passengers and merchandise to and front every part of the king dom, and a cheap conveyance for immense quantities of live stock and agricultural produce from the rural to the manufacturing and mining districts. Many completed and projected railways will intersect this line, and greatly facilitate traffic and intercourse in every direction ; with the Directors of these railways, and of various others which have a station at York or Lancaster, the Committee will endeavour to make arrangements likely to prove mutually bene ficial, and they have much pleasure in stating that the landowners along the Upe are extremely favourable to the undertaking, and con siderlessiWl materially augment the value of their possessions and prove advantageous to the country and the shareholders. . . . . It has been fully ascertained that the proposed line presents but few engtnerrlng difficulties, and that, although it will pass through some very hilly districts, it may be constructed along valleys, and with favourable gradients throughout nearly its entire course. The liability of the shareholders will be restricted by Act of Parliament to the amount of their subscriptions, and power will be applied for in the Bill to allow interest at four per cent. per annum on all calls, from the passing of the Act to the opening of the line.

This line of railway will leave the Glasgow, Barrhead, and Neilston Direct Railway at a point to the west of Pollokshaws, and through the parishes of Eastwood, Cathcart, Means, East kilbride, Strathaven, and Stonehenge, into Lesmahagow, with branches to Eaglesham and other important places. The district traversed by the line is thickly peopled with inha bitants engaged in manufactures and agriculture, and s rich in ex tensive fields of freestone, limestone, coal, and clay, and black band iron-stone, and other minerals. The line will be about 22 miles in length, and will afford the most direct possible communication with Glasgow, Paisley, Port Glasgow, Greenock, Ardrossan, and the many other towns and villages with which it will be brought Into immediate connexion,ty means of the Glasgow, Barrhead, and Neilston Direct Railway, with its branches and extensions. It is difficult to form a full estimate of the advantages of this line, whether as respects passengers or minerals ; but in regard to the lat ter, it may be stated that at present the whole gas coal used in the west of Scotland is brought from Lesniahagow by cartage at enor mous expense, and that the great Lesmaliagow field, as yet not opened up, is ascertained to be unsurpassed in the extent, the rich ness, and facility in working of its coal, iron, and other minerals, which, when brought into Opera ton, will at once enrich the neigh bourhood of the line, and afford a handsome return to the promoters.

In congratulating the skarehidders on the issue of the late contest in Parliament, the Committee of Management beg to announce that active meastr:es are be'ng adopted to forward the surveys and plans, and prepare for the ensuing session. The success of the Oxford and Rugby Railway has confirmed the Directors in the view they enter tained wlen they first brought to the notice of the public the merits of a line direct front Birmingham to Oxford, and leaves little room to doubt that Parliament wil l g rant thi s Important continuation, thus connewing the whole north of the kingdom and Birmingham with the south-western districts. It is intendel to make the most convenient stations for the various towns on the line that circumstances will admit, connecting the line at Birmingham with that of the Grand Junction Company. By this means an uninterrupte d transit will be effected from Birmingham through Oxford to every part of the south and to London. Looking to the very peculiar position of this line, the cheapness of its construct on. and the great traffic that must inevitably flow to it from its connecting and central situation, the Provisional Directors have every confidence that the und ertaking will be one of more than or dinary profit to the pri.prietors.

I shall, also, with your permission, append some notice of various objections which I have heard msde against my proposed step; not as if I were writing a treatise, but merely so far as to mark the general im pression which those objections have made on my mind. Rose Hill, Oxford, August 13. 1845. My Dear —, I proceed to execute the design I mentioned to you in my last, of putting on paper the considerations which have induced me to resolve on seeking admission to the Com munion of the Roman Catholic Church, notwithstanding some passages in the " Ideal," which seem to express strongly an opposite intention. Any one who will take the trouble to read carefully what I have said on the subject, especially in the last chapter of my work, will see plainly that I have grounded the (alleged) duty of remaining in the English Church on two principal circumstances :—First, That there is nothing to hinder any one in our Church, who may please, from holding all Roman doctrine ; and second, that all these, without ex ception, who, being in doubt of the English Church's claims, have resolved on livi• g a stricter life in her communion, have found an ever increasing confidence in their position. (See especially from pp. 567-570.) Now, it is plain that both these circumstances have ceased to exist. That the latter has ceased to exist, no one, of course, who knows what is so generally known at present will question. That the former also has ceased to exist is no less certain. If the bishops, speaking authoritatively, es cathedra, be the Official exponents of the mind of the Church of England, the point has been ruled against the Romanisers' long ago ;if (as I myself have always thought) the Ecclesiastical Courts hold that function, the doctrines I hold have been equally condemned. Not to lay stress here on the decision in Mr. Oakley's case ( though I must for myself consider that decision final, notwith standing the ab?ence of defence on Mr. Oakley's part, if no one takes up the ganntlet, and challenges a fresh decision, with the intention of making a formal defence ; but not to lay stress on this decision), in the stone altar' case, a case most ener getically argued on both sides and most deliberately decided, the doctrine of the Mass was expressly condemned; and if that doctrine be not a mast essential and vital part of Roman doc: trine, what can be so considered? It will be urged in reply, that laymen are not ordinarily obliged to sign the Articles ; and that, taking these decisions at their worst, they in no way interfere with a person holding all Roman doctrine in our Church's communion, so only be hold no preferment or ecclesiastical station. the utter futility, however, of this reply will be made obvious, by reciting the grounds on which it appeared to me so important that the holding of Roman doctrine should be pe , mitted in our Church ; and that my grounds were such as I shall pr•ireed to mention, will be very evident on a perusal of my work. It appeared to me, on the one hand, that all the argu ments which, so far as I knew, were adduced in disproof of Roman doctrine, proceeded on an assumption, which, if valid at all, is equally valid in disproof of Theism itself. ( See s. R. pp. 482-505.) On the other hand, I hail been placed by God in our own communion, and iii that commu nion Lad received instruction in great Christian principles; as, first of all, through the agency of Dr. Ai nt , ld, so afterwards in a very tar greater degree, and with a very far less admixture of error cn the one side and perplexity on the other, from Mi. Newman I knew co where of the recognition of a higher idea of Christian sanctity than I found recognised in our own Church ; and all those whom I so deeply revered, so far as I then knew, found (as I just now observed) our ordinances the mot's) trustworthy in proportion as they led a stricter life. On such grounds as these, to remain in our communion seemed the plain unmistakeable dictate of modesty and sobriety ; while, on the other hand. I stlould have been so absolutely puzzled at being called upon to view the Roman Church as authoritatively teaching error, that had I obliged myself to do so, it would have been necessary by main force to divert my mind from spe culating on theelog!eal subjects at all. In such circumstances it was natural, or rather inevitable, to fall back on the sort of theory contained in my work. I was led. I say, naturally to such considerations as the following " The progress from truth to error cannot be made in one leap; persons cannot, on the mere word of an external authority, embrace at, once a whole class of new doctrines, foreign, and at first even repugnant, to their moral nature. The doctrines, again, to which I allude, are but accessories to the central verities of the Gospel—not those verities themselves ; and will follow in due time, in proportion as those verities are rightly believed, heartily embraced, and fed on by prayer and contem plation The grglish Church, then, at present, witnessing as it does those truths in its formularies, but silent, to say the least, on these accessories, does seem a providential ordinance adapted to prepare minds by degrees for the doctrine and corn munion of Rome " Almost every page of my work, I might say. will show that this is the view 1 there advocated. That such a course of conduct, if avowed, wss a course con sistent with perfect honesty and integrity, cannot, I conceive be questioned. As to su scription to the Articles, I have no with to enter again into a worn-out controversy ; but I believe as firmly as ever that no consis.ent person, of whatever opinions, can subscribe all our formularies without offering the greatest violence to the natural meaning of language ; and, considering that the existing church, in some shape or other, is necessarily the "imp-pens," however grievous a burden such formularies must be to any community, I do not think any one need scruple in offering that violence, whether with the view - of reconciling the Articles to Roma:, or the Prayer Book to Lutheran opinions, so long as he says plainly, in the face of day, what sense he does attach to the words, and re mains without interference from constituted authorities. But in my ease my opinions were not only avowed, they were mrst conspicuously (many say with even an ostentatious pa rade) put forward. I called on " High Churchmen" of various grades to combine in the objects of impressing more deeply on the minds of our people the great truths to which 1 just al luded, and which they all profess, and willingly staked the truth of my own further opinions upon the resu:t. I was, and am, most undoubtingly confident that nothing more is necessary to dispose people fully for the reception of all Roman doctrine, when brought before them, than a hearty, unsuspicious, arid laborious appropriation of that portion of truth plainly wit nessed by our Church. I might here, then, allude to the addi tional reason for giving up the hopes I entertained when I wrote my work, which arises from the undeniable fact, that " anti-Roman High Churchmen" have shown no sort of wil lingness (quite the reverse) to unite with what are called " ex treme" persons on any such terms. But my resent purpose is merely to point out how completely the decision of the Eccle siastical Courts has destroyed whatever there might otherwise have been of plausibility in the theory I maintained as to the office of our Church. I say, then, that however plausible such a theory might have appeared so long as the holding of the Roman doctrine was allowed to be an open question among our clergy, not a word more need be said to prove how utterly extravagant it became from the moment that all the instructors of our people were bound to renounce same part of that doctrine. It requires certainly a very enthusiastic hoper to imagine that our Church could really be made extensively available for the object sup posed, when every one who entered on her ministry, or received a degree at either university, was called upon to renounce that object as inconsistent with the claims of religious truth. I have made it, I trust, sufficiently plain, that supposing me still to agree in every sentiment I expressed in my work, nothing which 1 have said constitutes my defence for remaining in sup ports present position. My defence was grounded on two main ; both these suppor:s have given way. Bet I am bound to add, that in - st fi rm, tuf . Tn t o h v e e ( n i i t a a ir nd (as ass ens incid e ntal i'rin• opinion, of considerable importance I h lieve)t immoveable as is my ciples advocated in the " I deal,' c , onvict t t o h t e h r e e present question, on which my views have undergone a change. To show that this change is rather in the application of f principles than prin ciples, allow me t o q uote a passage rom thel ast chapter in my work. " He who is thus disciplined, who feels de, ply his exceed ing blindness. helplessness, and ignorance, and the existence without him of an unknown and unspeakably precious reality, w ill eagerly believe and apptopriate wl,atever is placed before him in the ccaree of nature, professing to be a voice from, or an economical representation cf that reality. Aea.n be will have fully learnt, &c From all this it ,ill follow, as a primary axiom, than should his pa• en's have hrimg,lit him into connexion with s,,rne hotly professing to teach with authority, so long as he is able to repose uocha. , .ged confidence in that body, it is that very oracle for the conveyance to him cf eternal truths before wit c h duty requires him to bow. Should 'he case be other wise, in a heathen country, he will he :dile to discriminate with prettision between the right and the wrong in traditionary superstitions, and tell thus elicit confirmation of his faith,' and acct s,ions to it even out of corruptions of the truth.' But rather would he anticipate, that there is some home in which this moral reality may have a secure rest arid lodgment. that it may be dispensed to men according to their need=; or at least he would be di awn wit:t a most eager and spontaneous longing towards any body which would profess to be that home, And those marks, in any society, would especially attract his view, Now it is some coosiderible time since Mr. Newman's writings and teaching ( tow ever edify ing I found it in all (rher respects), altogether lath d to ci mmetid itself to me as being he least ex' oneritial of any teas hit. g of the English Church. Indeed, during that time, I might have ieen that I was deer iv ing Myself in thinking that I did simply follow his teaching ; for, whet, as lie strenuously disr.vowed any authority except as interpretative of the spice of the English Church, when I was urable to accord to him that claim I was unatile to follies his tiachiitg, in that very partieu!ar %Lich be himself represented as con, tituting hi; only right to teach. I should add, too, that add tonal thought and experience has much increased my sense (which before indeed was very great) of the extreme importance of a living and energising dogmatic system. If the claims of such a system long re matn unrecognised omor g us, I hardly know how to express, without appearing to agitate, how great are my fears a' to the miserable error into which even very well-intentinned and right-minded persons may be led, in the course of inquiry mad speculation. Nor need I say how serious an addition this con• stitutes to the many other grave phenomena which teem cla morously to enforce on us all the duty of renewing very care fully, and weighing very accurately, the reasons adducible in defence of our present position. Nothing, indeed, can be more pregnant with mischief than any step rashly and lightly undertaken, however good it. itself. Fur my own part, though my present convictions are not con sciously owing to any sudden external impulse, but arc the ;lit toral result of my own thought and observation, it seems never theless a duty to make plain to others, as well as to myself, that they are s'aple and genuine convictions, by refraining from any irrevocable step, until there may be time for my intentions to become known wherever they would be really cared for, and for any a guments or remonstrances to be duly weighed. At the same time, 1 should be hypocritical if I affected to think it likely that my determination will be altered by anything I shall hear said against it. I remain, my dear Most sincerely yours, W. G. WARD. In the present copy of this letter I have made one or two verbal alterations ; and have, moreover, marked with an as terisk two pasniges which I find to have been misunderstood in more than one quarter, and which were in fact inaccurately expressed. In order to explain these passages, I will state briefly (for in a letter such as this tl ere is no room for amplifi cation) what now appears to me the truth, on a subject which I regard myse f as having treated erroneously in my work. In proportion as any one realises the extreme importance, sacredness, and necessary mysteriousness of religious truth, his own exceeding blindness and helplessness, and the awfully se rious 'errors into which uncontrolled or misoirected speculation may lead him, he will be unwilling, I conceive, to follow as an ultimate guide on matters of doctrine any authority which is not directly entrusted by God with the office of dispensing re ligious truth. No teacher, then, who does not possess a direct Divine authority, much less one who distinctly disclaims it, will ever exerci-e despotic idluessce over his belief; and if Providence has subjected him to some religious body which does claim Divine authority to teach, from the moment that he is deliberately unable to recognise that authority, he will consider himself fully justified, or rather bound, to look elsewhere, if haply he may meet with some other body, to whose communion he may attach himself, and to whose teaching he may submit himself. What will be the duty of such a one in case he should dis cern no authority which preients to Lis conscience tokens of a Divine commission, I am not considering ; but merely wh a t is his duty if he d o di scern suc h an one. n that case, I say he is bound, when he is sufficiently sure of himself that it is a real matter of conviction, to submit himself to that authority without reserve ; and I retract the contrary opinion, which is contained in my work, as savouring of latitudinarianism, and of indifference to religious truth. I think that one especial dispensation by means of whiah God leads humble souls to his true Church, is the circumstance, that other religious bodies, the more trustingly they are believed and obeyed, the more cruelly pierce him who leans on them : but that his Church cony, ys to her children an ever-increasing sense of his Divine authority, in proportion as they humbly trust her and lovingly obey Ler. Those who care to know my reasons for thinking that the English Church, whether her voice be livened for in her for mularies, or in her practical teaching, is no trustworthy guide (and, I may add, for thinking that neither the 13ible nor an tiquity, interpreted by private judgment, are any trustworthy guides either), I must refer to my large work, and to my " Address to Members of Convocation," where they will find these questions treated of at length. An objection haA been lately made to me in private, against what has just been said, as follows : —lt has been objected that the English Church does teach with Divine authority the Creeds ; because, so far es they are concerned, she speaks, " not as the English Church, but as convey ing to us the faith of the Catholic Church, such as it was from the beginning." But let me ask—how do we know that these Creeds contain the faith of the Catholic Church such as it was from the beginning? If by our own private researches into antlquity„ then our rule of faith i 3 not the English . Chuteb, hut antiquity interpreted by private judgment whit Is is altogether a different matter. The objector, indeed, to whom I refer, altogether disclaims such a view 'as this, in his own name and in that of " High Churchm e n" in general. Taking then the other alternative—let any one consider the pasages so commonly quoted in controversy from the Ante. Nicene Fathers (passages at fist sight so directly in contra diction with important portions of the Creed), and let him sly, it he is able to trust the English Church on so difficult and historically doubtful a matter as the question whether the Creeds really express the Church's faith from the srst, in what must he not trust the English Church? In a word, (speaking of external authority only), if we receive this fact (of the apostolicity of the Creeds) on the authority of the English Church, so far we do not believe the Creeds to be in fallibly true. The way is now clear to explain the passages in nay letter which are marked with an asterisk. I have been sstppn sed to acknowledge in those passages, that the English Church witnesses these doctrines in the same sense in Which the Rooian Catholic Church witnesses them : that is, that sho furnishes Ler members with good reasons for thoroughly re ceiving thent. Nothing, it will be seen, was further front my intention than so to speak ; I meant merely to say that, whereas the English Church professes belief in these creeds, there was a very good ground afforded me for calling on Eng lish Churchmen to aim at realising and appropriating the verities contained in them. But I slid not conceal my belief, that in proportion as they did so, they would learn to be dissa tisfied with their Church's formularies as a whole, a: d diss tt ustaul of her authority. Nor should it be forgotten, that I maintained in my work that the true doctrine on " justifica tion" is in one sense more at the foundation of orthodoxy than any other whatever; and, moreover, that the most formally dogmatic statement on that subject put forth by the English Church, unless under a very t' non-natural " interpretation, asserts the contradictory of that doctrine. In thus disparaging the authority of the English Church, am not at all forgetting, that in arightly disciplined mind there will be an inward response, which tends more and more, if exercised, to afford conviction on certain doctrines, irrespec tive of the authority on which the, were originally received ; and a Christian would indeed be pursuing a mad course if he were to allow his faith in these doctrines to waver, even though for a time (from whatever cause) he were unable to see his way, to bow before some other external authority. But it would be foreign to my purpose to pursue this subject further. But by far the most prevailing argument of which I hare heard, in opposition to the views maintained in my letter, is grounded on the notes of life and sanciiy within the English Church. "We who are in that Church," it is said, " have the plainest proof before us that the sudden revival of strictness and orthodoxy has Veen from within, not by the in fluence of an external body; and the communion wherein God so visibly works, must lie a home of His in which it is safe for us to abide." Nay, many seem to have thought that I myself advocated this view in the" Ideal," and that my own arguments might be employed against myself 1 trus' that, in what I have already said, I have shown my self to be not unwilling to retract an opinion, merely be cause I have once expressed it. But I really have never myself seen the sufficiency of ibis argument. Surely it is quite conceivable that God should stir, from within, a schis modall body, in order to reinforce His Church ; He may work mightily, in such a body, not in order to establish it, but in order gradually to dissolve it. And whether of these two be His will, must be gatheted from further consideration. The arguments on which 1 formerly based the (supposed) duty of adhesion to the English Church (arguments, as I base said, which I do not now ihink valid), were as follows :—We cannot doubt of the vitality of the English Church, not only when we observe the sanctity which has been the witnessed fruit of her ordinances, but also when we think of the re markable manner in which doctrines handed down for two or three hundred years, has now germinated, and is so abundantly germinating, into " the whole cycle of Roman doctrine." First, So long as we are allowed free scope in our Church so to develop the doctrines we have learned from that Church, she is surely our natural and legitimate home, the doctrines, which might be considered e a a r ca ed from herself, cause for leaving her, are the offspring of what we have learned herself, and are permitted, without authoritative check, within her pale : and second, in proportion as those who were molested with doubts, have lived a stricter life, s ai d rested a greater weight on the ordinances of their Churcti, their confi dence in their position has been increased. ;how, the ,as Englishl sayin my letter, both tin se reasons for remainin g in Church have now ceased to exist : Ist, tho free spread of Roman doctrine in our Church has been authoritatively checked ; and, 2d, it is no longer trite, as is now very generally known, that a stricter life in our communion has lessened doubts in th e quar ter where doubts have been acutely telt. Those, then, who thought the arguments adduced in my work in defence of our position satisfactory (as I do not think them), cannot any longer rest upon them ; for whatever force they once had is cone to an end. sty pi eseet intention, then, implies no denial, nor could I honestly attempt any denial, of the undoubted fact that there has been of late years a remarkable gush of life from within the English Church. Nor, indeed, considering the great be nefit 1 humbly hope to have derived from agencies at work within her, could I bring myself to separate from her commu nion without careful thought and deliberation. But such thought and deliberation haze not, I hope, been wanting. Even now I trust I may never forget how much I owe of those very convictions, which have caused my present resolu tion, to teaching adrainistered in the name of the English Church : and I most earnestly hope to site the time when I may again be united in the same communion with, and be enabled to profit by, the closer example of those many admir able persons, wham I am quite unt.ble to follow in regarding the English Church as a safe home fur the Catholic-minded Christian.-1 remain, Sir, ysur faithful servant, Rose-hill, Oxford, Aug. 26, 1845.
