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 is 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, Pert Glasgow, Greenock, Ardrossan, and the many other towns and villages with which it will be brought into immediate connexion, by means of the Glasgow, Barrhead, and Neilston Direct Railway, with its branches and extensions. _ It is difficult to form a it'll 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 Lesmahagow by cartage at enor mous expense, and that the great Lesmahagow field, as yet not opened up, is ascertained to be unsurpassed in the extent, the rich ness, and facility in working of its coal, irim, and ether minerals, which, when brought into operation, will at once enrich the neigh bourhood of the line, and afford a handsome return to the promoters.

The Committee of Management beg to inform the Shareholders that they have .determined, under powers existing in the deed of settlement, upon adding to their project a Branch from Lavenham to Stowmarket, there to effect a junction with the Eastern Union Ex tension line, thus forming not only the most direct route to Norwich hitherto projected, but, as may be seen b) an inspection of the map, the shortest within the limits of practicability. The Chelmsford and Bury Railway, •by means of its Thetford Ex tension, secures the traffic of the northern and western districts of the counties of Suffolk and Norfolk, together with a large portion of that of Norwich ; an d b y means of its Stowmarket Branch and the connexion thus formed with the Eastern Union Extension and the Waveney Talley lines (to both of which it is a most valuable co adjutor), It secures over forty miles of its length not only the re maining traffic of Norwich, but the whole of that of the' Important port of Yarmouth, to which must be added the towns of Beccles, Bungay, Harleston, Diss, and Stowmarket, with all the northern and eastern districts of the above-mentioned counties. • The great increase of traffic secured beyond the reach of competi tion by this branch would amply compensate for even an extrava gant outlay in its formation, The Committee, however, Lave great pleasure in stating that, after a preliminary survey, the engineer has reported the locality to be so unusually favourable for railway pur poses as to justify them in entertaining the confident hope that no additional capital beyond that mentioned in their prospectus will bo required for its construetion ; a more detailed survey, however, is in t e o ou t re he e s o l f ia c r o e i h n o p l l d et e l r3 7, the result orfywDoNehr.i‘.deh,rl 13wr ' , :ill A be iE, shortly Secretary.

The objects of the Midland and Thirsk Junction Railway are three fold ; to open pp and fully develop one of the richest fields of Coal and Ironstone in the kingdom; secondly, to make a Trunk Line of communication from South to North, between the Midland and the Leeds and Thirsk Railways; and, thirdly, in conjunction with the Midland at Oagenshavr, the Manchester and Leeds and the Wake field, Pontefract and Goole at Wakefield, the - Leeds and Dewsbury at or near Howley Mills, the Bradford and Leeds at or near Calverley, and the Leeds and Thirsk at or near Horiforth, to afford to the densely populated and important manufacturing district through which the line is intended to pass, the best facilities for the conveyance of pas sengers, merchandise, &c., to all parts of the country. The intended line runs parallel with none of . the projected schemes of last session, and cannot be said to interfere with any of them ; it is perfectly independent, and imperatively called for. The quantity of coal procured from different collicres now work ing in the Howden Clough and Cockersdale Valleys (which are on the intended line of railway) is about 6,000 tons per week, and when the railway now projected is formed, it is.believed that the average supply weekly will be upwards of 20,000 tons, so that from this vast and inexhaustible field of coal, occupying snore than 10,000 acres, and averaging twenty feet in thickness (of workable coal) an unli mited supply of the best and cheapest coal in the kingdom will be available for the Loudon market (via Goole), as well as the more neighbouring towns of Wakefield, Leeds, Halifax, Bradford, Dews bury, Bingley, Keighley, Skipton, Otley, Harrogate, Knaresborough, Ripon, &c., &c., where in most cases the reduction will be at least one-half, and in the snore distant places much more than this amount of reduction, and in all which places an abundant supply of good and cheap coal is of the highest importance. The revenue to be realised from this source alone, it is believed, will yield a most ample return for the capital required. Besides passing through the centre of this immense coal field, the railway traverses a district affording accommodation to a population of upwards of 335,000 inhabitants, and whilst affording every accom modation to this vast population, whose internal traffic must neces sarily be very great, it receives an additional indemnity from the relative position in which it stands to other lines, so that for inter nal resources and external relations its advantages are almost un rivalled. This line affords the most direct communication from North to South, and will be a nearer route tram Huddersfield, Wakefield, Manchester, South Lancashire, Cheshire, and all parts of the South, to that much frequented watering-place, Harrogate, and will form a most eligible line, with appropriate stations at Wakefield, Alver thorpe, Batley, Drighlington, Tong, Pudsey, Stanningley, Calverley, and Horsforth. The length of the main line will be about sixteen miles, and the branches six miles. The project is warmly supported by the landed and local Interests, and by a large body of mercantile and wealthy individuals in the above districts, who, confident of a successfid issue, will use every means for bringing the project before the Legislature next session. The Company reserve the power of making an extension from their line to Bradford, at the most convenient point for the convey ance of the minerals, &c., if adequate provision be not made by another Company. The liability of each Shareholder will be restricted to the amount of his individual subscription, and interest will be allowed upon all calls after the rate of 4 per cent. per annum from the time the Act is obtained. The names of an influential Provisional Committee will be adver tised next week. Further information may be obtained of the Solicitors at Leeds and Bradford, to whom application for shares, in the form subjoined, may be addressed.—By order, DUNNING' and STAWMAN, Leeds, Solicitors for the CHARLES CLOUGH, Bradford, 5 Promoters.

Protheroe, Esq., 10, Old Jewry-ehsunbers, London This railway is intended to connect the South Wales Railway at Chepstow with Gloucester, Cheltenham, and Birmingham, with the projected Cheltenham, Oxford (and London direct), Gloucester, and Aberystwith, Northampton and Cheltenham, and Manchester and Southampton Railways ; thus forming an uninterrupted line of com munication from the South of Ireland, through Fishgard and Milford in Pembrokeshire, to Gloucester, Cheltenham, Oxford, and London direct, Southampton, Birmingham, Manchester, Liverpool, and the North of England, by a less circuitous route than can be effected by any of the projected plans far crossing the Severn below Gloucester, thereby avoiding the difficulties which must necessarily be encoun tered in such an undertaking, and affording the important towns and districts upon the intended lines that accommodation which their im portance entitles them to. The whole of the traffie 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 estimated upon authentic documents and information, at upwards of 300,000 tons ; and from the Western or Lydney and Chepstow side the same amoint 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 the 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 shifting sands in that river. It is intended 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 be ready to jells 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 Wye, at. Chepstow, to join the South Wales, with branches to the Collieries, Iron Works, and the Severn, is not expected to exceed 450,000/. but it is intended to provide a capital of 600,000/. 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 Railway Company (who have obtained their Act of Parlia ment for a railroad from Fishguard and Milford Haven to Chepstow) n connecting it with the principal railways of the kingdom, 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 good; and works light. It may with very great confidence 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 vision will be made is 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 four per cent. on the calls.

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 Brandon, Ely, and Cambridge, to join the Northern and Eastern Railway —a distance of 146 miles. The ter minus of the Norfolk Railway at Yarmouth is acknowledged to be most inconvenient for the London trade, and the claims which it has upon Yarineuat are confined to the communication with Norwich and the western :and north-western districts. A very large traffic exists between Yarmouth, Lowestoft, Beccles, Bungay, Halesworth, Harlestoae, and Dias ; 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 designea ; 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 Beccles, thence to Bun gay (with a branch to Halesworth), to Harleston, and Diss, 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 be 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 Needham 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 1 portion of the barley is malted at Harlestone, Haleswortk, Buugay, and Beccles, 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 435,690 quarters. 70,000 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 registered vessels, comprising a tonnage of 50,375, belonging to Great Yarmouth, and 3,400 ships yearly enter that port. Upwards 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 fishin g 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 ofthe fish carriage, a return of £39,483 0 0 To this add for fish traffic from Lowestoft, according to the present quantity supplied to the London market, calculated at a low rate . And for fish traffic from Yarmouth, according to the same data .• •• • ... • .......... ...... ........... 9,500 0 0 Making ••• • • • £52,710 0 0 Deduct 40 per eent. for working expenses • • • • .... 21,084 0 0 Leaving a net revenue of. .. ....... £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 Disc .......• PI Stowmarket .. • • 43 „ Bury St. Edmund's 54 „ It Ipswich • ••• • • • •• • 53 „ Colchester ••••• • •• • • 71 „ Chelmsford ...• • • 93 „ London .• • • ..... ..... 122 „ being twenty-four miles shorter than the route by the present Norfolk Railway. 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 fish, cattle, and grain), when the road is opened, and the facilities which railways afford are developed to a country hitherto unaccornmodated 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 for 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 bo 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.

TO THE EDITOR OF THE OXFORD HERALD. Sia,—lt has always appeared to me that a person who pub lishes a theological work incurs thereby a certain obligation, in case any part of his known conduct bear the appearance of contradiction to any opinion he may , have advocated in that work : he is bound, I think, to make, whether his re tractation of the opinion, or his explanation of the apparent inconsistency, as public as he made the original work itself. It is for this reason, and not from any desire to intrude myself on general notice, that, being now on the point of formally submitting myself to what J believe to be the One Catholic Church, I beg of you the favour to make public the enclosed letter to a friend, copies of which I have circulated among my acquaintance for the last week sr two. I shall, also, with your permission, append some notice of various objections which I have heard made 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 .thrt" Ideal," which seem to express strongly au opposite ik:gutiap. Any one who will take th e t rou bl e t o rea d carefuflyi Viave 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 those, without ex ception, who, being in doubt of the English Church's claims, have resolved on living a stricter life in her communion, have found an ever increasing confidence in their petition. (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, ex 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 absence 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 most essential and vital part of Roman doc trine, what can be so considered ? It will be urged in reply, that laymen are not ord inarily obliged to sign the Articles; and that, taking these de c isions at their worst, they in no way interfere with a person holding all Roman doctrine in our Church's communion , so only he hold no preferment or ecclesiastical station. of this reply will be made , ü b tt y er ree fu it t i i n li g ty, th h e ow ar e o v u e n r, ds on which it appeared to me obv T io h u e s so important that the holding of Roman doctrine should be permitted in our Church ; and that my grounds were sue as I shall proceed to mention, will be very evident on a perusal of my work. It appeared to me, on the one hand, that all the argo. meets %chid), 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. (s„ e . 9. pp. 482-5080 On the other hand, I had been placed by God in our own communion, and in that commu nion had received instruction in great Christian principles ; as, first of all, through the agency of Dr. Arnold, so afterwards in a very far greater degree, and with a very far less admixture of error on the one side and perplexity on the other, from Mr. Newman. I knew no 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 1 then knew, found (as I just now observed) our ordinances the more trustworthy in proportion as they led a stricter life: On such grounds as these, to remain in our communi on seeme d th e plain unmistakeable dictate of modest/ and sobriety i chile, on PRELIMINARY ANNOUNCEMENT-PROVISIONALLY REGISTERED. SOUTHAMPTON and GREAT WESTERN JUNCTION RAILWAY DIRECT. The object of this Company is to complete the line of railway be tween Southampton and Manchester, by the easiest and most direct route to Swindon, at which point it effects a junction with the Great Western Railway to Cheltenham, and thence uniting with the South Wales Railway, opens a communication with the vast mineral dis tricts traversed by that line, and joins those already formed to Man chester and all the mannfacturing districts. A glance at the map and prospectus, now in active preparation, will at once show that by this line an enormous outlay of capital will be saved, and every ob ject accomplished without interference with existing interests.

This railway will proceed from York to Lancaster (about 72 miles) by the most direct practicable route, and pass Year 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 between 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 performed, 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 Wales ; to Hamburgh, by connecting 3loree,ombe 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 usebil minerals, but these are now comparatively unavailing, from the great cost of coals and carriage. The railway will rapidly develop these sources of prosperity, byintroducing 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 from 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 qE Lancaster, the Committee will endeavour to make arrangements liZely to prove mutually bene ficial, and they have much pleasure in stating that the landowners along the line are extremely favourable to the undertaking, and con sider it will 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 engineering 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.

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 Veglish Churci, 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 com - 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, vi , s a course con sistent with perfect honesty and integrity, cannot, I conceive. be questa.ned. As to gut scription to the Articles, I have no wish 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 " impatiens," 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 Romer, 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 case my opinions were not only avowed, they were most 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 I just al luded, and which they all profess, andwillinglf staked the truth of my own further opinions upon the result. I was, and am, most undoubtiogly 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, and laborious appropriation of that portion of truth plainly pit neftsed by our Church. I might here, then, allude to the midi tional reason for giving up the hopes I entertained whe.l I wrote iny work, which arises from the undeniable fact, th et " anti-Roman High Churchmen" have shown no sort of wit • lingness (quite the reverse) to unite with what are called " ex-• treme" persons on any such terms. But my present 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, riot a word! *ore need be said to prove hoer utterly extravagant it became from the moment that all the instructors of our people were bound to renounce some 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 I said constitutes my defence for remaining in my present position. My defence was grounded on two main sup ports ; both these supports have given way. Bat I am bound to add, that must firm, unmoved, and (as I believe) immoveable as is my conviction of the main prin ciples advocated in the " there was sine incidental opinion, of considerable importance to the present question, on which my views have undergone a change. To show that this change is rather in the application of principles than in prin ciples, allow me to quote a passage from the last chapter in toy work. " He who is thus disciplined, who feels deeply his exceed. ing blindness, helplessness, and ignorance, and the existence without him of an unknown and unspeakably precious reality, will eagerly believe and appropriate whatever is placed before him in the course of nature, professing to be a voice from, or an economical representation of that reality. Again he will have fully learnt, &c From all this it will follow, as a primary axiom, that his parents have brought him into connexion with some body professing to teach With authority, so long as he is able to repose unchanged confidence in that body, it is that very oracle for the conveyance to him of eternal truths before which duty requires him to bow. Should the case be other wise, in a heathen country, ' he will be able to discriminate with precision between the right and the wrong in traditionary superstitions, and will thus elicit confirmation of his faith,' and accessions 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 and lodgment, that it may be dispensed to men according to their needs ; or at least& he would be drawn with a most eager and spontaneous longing towards any body which would profess to be that home, I,nd those marks, in any society, would especially attract his view, which appear to be most kindred in their natures and origin to eternal truth itself; for instance, to use ecclesiastical language, unity in doctrine throughout all ages—sanctity—Catholicity, its proclaiming one and the same messages in all lands—Apos tolicity, its referring back to some signal interference with the visible course of things from the world beyond the veil." (Pp. , . 510, 511.) supporting g y na c y o s n ei s f id in ere th d e , woTulhdehapvreinpcPe e s nte h d er e me,r i English Church on the theory which I have been drawing out : eviexlptrheisnske, expressed, if m and I should add that Mr. Newman took an early opportunity of expressing to me his disapprobation of that theory. Ob serve distinctly, that I am not speaking of those who (like my self indeed) are unable to recognise any definite teaching what ever in the English Church, but who (unlike myself) find in the Roman doctrines, as apprehended by them, things which (I do not say merely call for an enlarged measure of faith, but which) offer actual and serious violence to their moral nature : what is their duty is a matter altogether distinct. Much less am I saying a word in disparagement of the principle I have so V earnestly advocated throughout my work, viz., that it is t' g e duty of all persons to accept heartily, conscientiously, and practically, in the first instance, the religious system th,ei ark taught. But I say, in my own case, th a t I thi n k I wa.l called upon either to look on the Church of England as m; teacher, or to unite myself to the communion of the Churc„, o f R ome and not to devise theories, under which I mig,t4 look on one Church as my teacher, while I remained in, communion with another. Now it is some considerable time since Mr. Newman's writings and teaching (howeve; edifying I found it in all other A commend itself to me as being r in esp t e h c e ts ) I , eas al t tog e e i t p h n e n r e f n M t l i el a c :, t of any teaching of the English Church. Indeed, during that time, I might have seen that.. I was deceiving tuself in thinking that 1 did simply follow his teaching ; for, whereas he strenuously disavowed any authority except as interpretative of the voice of the English Church, when I was unable to accord to him that claim I was unable to follow his teaching, in that very particular which be himself represented as constituting his only right to teach. I should add, too, that additional 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-, main unrecognised amoeg us, I hardly know how to expre , ,e, without appearing to agitate, how great are my fears as to th e miserable error into which even very well-intentionv:s and right-minded persons may be led, in the course of inqr.lry and speculation. Nor need 1 say how serious an addition, this con stitutes to the many other grave phenomena which se em cla morously to enforce on us all the duty of reviewing N ery 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 in itself. For my own part, though my present convictions are not con- ; sciously owing to any sudden external impulse, but are the tural result of my own thought and observation, it seems nee theless a duty to make plain to °then, as well as to myself , that they are staple and genui ne conv i ct i ons , b y refraining fro in an irrevocable step, until th ere may b e t i me f or my intent,so y become known wherev er th e y wou ld b e really cared for., anell for any al guments or remonstrances to be duly the same time, I should be hyp ocr iti ca l if I affect7d:tgtobet'ilink A a t t likoly that my determination will be altered by anYtb%ng 'shall hear said against it. I remain, my har Most sincere4y_yturs, G. . In the present copy o f t hi s letter I have made one or WARD two verbal alterations ; and have, moreover, marked with an as terisk two passages which I find to have been misunderstood in more ths,n one quarter, and which were in fact inaccurately expressed. In order to explain these passages, I will s t a t e briefly (for in a lett er suc h as t hi s there is no room for amplifi cation) what now appears to me the truth, on a subject which I regard myself 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 misdirected 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 r i .irect Divine authority, much less one who distinctly disclai:ass it, will ever exercise despotic influence 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 presents to his conscience tokens of a Divine commission, I am not considering ; but merely what is his duty if he do discern such an one. In 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 authoritsj 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 ess-pecial dispensation by means of which God leads humble souls to his true Church, is the circumstance, that other r eligious bodi es . the more trustingly th e y are believed and ob eyed, the mor e lovingly cruelly pierce him who leans oninthceremas:inbgut sense that uf hi h s is Charch conveys to her children an ever- Divine authority, in proportion as they hum bly trust her and obey her.

If by our own private researches into antiquity, then our rule of faith is not the English Church, hot antiquity interpreted by private judgment; which 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 Churchmen" in general. Taking then the other alternative—let any one consider the passages so commonly quoted in controversy from the Ante- Nicene Fathers (passages at first sight so directly in cents diction with important portions of the Creed), and let I A nt say, if he is able to t rus t th e E ng li s h Ch urc h on so diff jea a t and historically doubtf u l a ma tt er as t h e quest i on wheth Creeds really exp ress th e Ch urc h' s f a i t h from the 6 e . tr what must he not t r u s t th e E ng li s h Ch urc h ?
