Constituted by Act of Parliament. This Society has an actually ingested Capital of TWO MILLIONS TWO HUNDRED AND FOUR THOUSAND POUND 7;, arising solely from the accum7dai ' iO ' n — oithe premiums, and which is the exclusive property of its members. Agreeably to the Articles of Constitution, an investigation into the affairs of the Society takes place every seven years, when the surplus profits are allocated as follows : Two-thirds thereof are divided among the members of the So ciety ; and One-third is retained as a Guarantee Fund, till the succeeding period of investigation. Thus, at Ist January, 1446 (the period of last investigation), after setting aside a sum sufficient to meet the obligations of the , ociety, there remained a surplus of profit Df £614,422 1 6 One-third of which was reserved as a Guarantee Fund 204, , ,07 7 2 And there remained to be divided among tht Members £409,614 14 4 which sum enabled the Directors to declare an addition of 14 per cent. for the preceding seven years, upo all Assurances, as well as upm previously deciared additions, which, in the case of Policies opened in any year from 1815 to 1819 inclusive, was equal to an ad. dition of upwards of 22 per cent., or upwards of three per cent. per annum on the original sum assured. And also to provide for the payment of a farther addition, at the rate of 2 per cent. per annum on the original sums assured, and vested additions secured under all polices which should emerge be fore the next period of investigation, which was equal to upwards of 3% per cent. per annum on the original sums assured alone. It will thus be seen that the members of this Society have the advantage of a large Capital, of which they are the sole proprietors, and from which they derive the whole benefit, without any deduc tion being made for the payment of dividends to Shareholders. The following will exemplile the effect of the additions already declared to this Society's Policies:— POLICY fur £5OO. O CONSUMERS OF MALT LIQUORS.

To-day, in all probability, the fate of the Devonport Dock and the new works will be decidtd—that is, whether we shall have a dock equal to the requirements of the service, or whether we shall have a miserable apology for essentially a great necessary public work. Under all circumstances we cannot help quoting the following from the United Service Gazette : " Every day's experience exhibits the short-sighted policy, the miserable economy, and the utter want of professional responsibility, which have postponed the completion of the basin and docks at Devonport Dock yard. Such is the want of dock accommodation at that port that the Wasp screw-sloop, of 900 ton's, requiring to be docked this week, she could not be taken in until she was lightened; consequently. although she had the mails on board for the coast of Africa, it took the people three days to get out the guns and stores before she could get in to have the fan of her screw adjusted, and it has taken three days more since to replace the stores; thus losing the time of a whole working week—a pretty state truly for one of our principal naval arsenals to be in. " Again, it has been stated that the works depart ment has been turned over to the master shipwright. This is not officially true, although it looks very much like it. Captain Williams, RE., is .still called the ` di rector of his department; but the master shipwright has been allowed by the Admiralty to run over his works— to make drawings of them—to propose corrections of them, and indeed to discover what his conceit or impu dence may choose to call blunders of the engineer ; and this week the drawings,' amendments," ad Miens,' and ' improvements' have been forwarded to the Admi ralty for their approbation. How long a captain of the Royal Engineers is to submit to this indignity, perhaps some members of the distinguished corps in which he holds a commission will call upon him to declare ; and how the Admiralty can permit a shipwright to neglect his own department to meddle with that of another, in the way they have allowed Mr. Edye to do, whilst the ships under his charge reported perfect, when ordered to be commissioned, are found to have defects which will take six weeks' hard work to make good, their Lord ships will probably have an opportunity of explaining very shortly. " Thirdly, we may notice with great regret the report that the caissons at the new and spoiled steam-basin and dock works at Keyham have failed, although so much was said of their admirable perfection and utility when tried the other day, and of the inventor, Mr. Scamp, as ,istant director of engineering works at the Admiralty. The whole design looks very much like a gigantic blunder, at the expense of some 20,0001., and now it is said the Admiralty department are endeavouring to make Mr. Fairbairn, the contractor for building the caissons, responsible for the design as well as for the faithful con struction of them. Thus, if the caissons had succeeded, the wiseacres of Somerset-house would have assumed all the credit; but now that they are likely to fail, or have not succeeded, the contractor is saddled with the onus of the mistake. " Let our readers look to the French President's mes sage, with respect to the new docks and works in the arsenals of France, and they will aeree with us that it is high time that we should have a searching inquiry into the state of those of the dockyards of England." Lieutenant R. L. Curtis (1842), it is said, will com mission the Locust steam-vessel, at Woolwich, for the coast of Africa service. Mr. B. F. Cameron has been appointed assistant ongi neer to the Luci►er steam vessel. Retribution steam-frigate, Captain Warden, in defi ance of a strong westerly gale, went out to Spithead under steam yesterday morning at eleven o'clock. She will take in her powder and live shells when it mode rates, and proceed to Devonport. PORTSMOUTH, TUESDAY.—The Northumberland new yacht packet arrived at Spithead last night. The Retribution steam frigate has had her compasses swung, and was taken to Spithead this morning to try speed by the measured mile. The Amphitrite, 24, has been stripped, and will be re-coppered immediately. During a sudden squall this morning a boat belonging to the Alfred came across the bowsprit of the Lively tender, and immediately upset and sank. There were two men and a boy in her at the time, who were even picked up. THE CHINA SQUADRON. Her Majesty's ship Hastings, bearing the flag of Rear-Admiral Austin, 0.13., arrived at Singapore on the 16th of September, after a tedious passage of sixteen days, from Penang, through the Straits of Malacca, and sailed on the 21st for Hong. Kong. The Sphynx, Commander Shadvvell, and the East India Company's steamer Nemesis, were at Siam, with Sir James Brooke, though expected at Hong-Kong in a short time, and as they had made a lengthened stay, the success of their mission was augured favourably of. The Serpent, Commander Barker, had bean ordered clown to Hong-Kong for the convalescence of her crew. The sick BA was very large, as many as 80 having been on it at one time; none of them, however, had died, nor had there been any life recently lost in the iquiadren. The Reynard was at Hong-kong on the 23d of Sep tember, and expected to sail in a few days for the northern ports, calling at Loo-Choo, with the Lord Bishop of Victoria on board. She had been taking the place of the Phlegethon at Canton, where her arrival made no little sensation among the community. Captain Cracroft succeeded in carrying her up the Junk Channel, a passage hitherto considered impracticable for vessels of the Reynard's tonnage, and steamed past the factories io the astonishment of the natives. The Castor, Commodore Wyvill, anchored at the Mau ritius on the 19th of September, after a very long cruise on the east coast of Africa. She left Simon's Bay, Cape of Good Hope, on the 22d of February, since which the Commodore has visited all his old friends on the slave-trading coast of Mozambique, to whom he required no introduction, having been well known in his last ship, Cleopatra, for his capturing propensities. All the rivers have been searched for baracoons and slave vessels, and the strictest possible inquiry been established as to the slave trade. It is thought the Commodore's visit will have a wholesome effect on the wretches who deal in humanity; certain it is, the Castor did not succeed in making a prize until she reached Cape Delgado, in May last; all of a sudden, two large slave markets were dis covered, which the Commodore caused to be surprised, and destroyed by the Castor's boats before the people were aware of her being on the coast. Com mander Bunce conducted the attacks, and making them at daylight, met little or no resistance, although at the second place he found preparations for fighting about 300 men with muskets and some pieces of cannon; but the English force awed them. In two minutes after landing the whole place was in flames, and in the midst of it a large slave dow was blown up. As soon as the force re-embarked a fire was opened from the mangrove bushes, which was sharply returned by the boats. The name of this last place is Kionga. The baracoons were very extensive, and ca pable of containing thousands of slaves. The first place, Masani, was not so large. The Castor visited Zanzibar after leaving that place. Dysentery attacked the crow; 10 men died but she is now quite healthy. The Cast o r had experienced a gale of wind to the southward of Ma dagascar, and sprung her foreyard, and came into Port Louis with all her provisions just expended.

J. Tilby (1814), of the Fisgard flagship, at Wool wich, is expected to retire on that vessel being paid off, on the 2d of next month, and Paymaster and Purser Thomas Watson (1809), is named as his successor. The Locust steam-vessel, now ready for commission for service on the coast of Africa, is expected to be com missioned at this port by Commander Roger Curtis (1846). The Volcano steam-vessel is also nearly ready for commission at this port for service on the coast of Africa. aggression, but as a simply administrative provision ne cessary for the government of their flocks. The main ground set forth for the necessity or expediency of hav ing an ecclesiastical hierarchy was as follows: " It was observed, that until now the only regulation or code of government possessed by the English Catho lics, was the constitution of Pope Benedict XIV., which begins Apostolic= Ministerium,' and which was issued in 1743, a hundred years ago. Now, this constitution had grown obselete by the very length of time, and still more by happy change of circumstances. It was based upon the following considerations:-1. That the Catho lics were still under the pressure of heavy penal laws, and enjoyed no liberty of conscience ; 2. That all their colleges for ecclesiastical education were situated abroad; 3. That the religious orders had no houses in England ; 4. That there was nothing approaching to a parochial division, but that most Catholick.places of worship were the private chapels, and their incumbents the chap lains of noblemen and gentlemen. There are other similar suppositions in that document, full as it is of wisdom, which, thank God, at the present time appear as simple anachronisms. It was argued, therefore, that virtually this, the only great constitution existing for Catholic England, part even of which had been already formally repealed by the late Pope, was rather a clog and embarrassment than a guide. " The Catholic Church in England had so much ex panded and consolidated itself since the Emancipation Act, and its parts had so matured their mutual relations, that it could not be carried on without a full and explicit code. The bishops, it was urged, found themselves perplexed. and their situation full of difficulty; as they earnestly desired to be guarded from arbitrary decisions by fixed rules, and yet had none provided for them. The uncert Linty also of position on the part of the clergy, which resulted from this anomalous state, made it still more painful. " Such was the case submitted to the judgment of the Holy See, fully illustrated with practical applications. A remedy was, therefore, prayed for, and it was sug gested that it could only be in one of the two following forms:— " Either the Holy See must issue another and full con stitution, which would supply all wants, but which would be necessarily complicated and voluminous, and, as a special provision, would necessarily be temporary; " Or, the real and complete code of the Church must be at once extended to the Catholic Church in England, so far as compatible with its social position; and this provision would be final. " But, in order to adopt this second and more natural expedient, one condition was necessary, and that was— the Catholics must have a hierarchy. The canon law is inapplicable under Vicars-Apostolic; and, besides, many points would have to be synodically adjusted, and, with out a metropolitan and suffragans, a provincial synod was out of the question. " Such was the main and solid ground on which the hierarchy was humbly' solicited by Catholics from the Holy See. It was one that referred to their own internal entered organization the heads o f exclusively. the p e T t i h t i o o u n g e h r Thoughts s or r f aggression ofthe petitioned; nor were the bishops moved by stupid ideas of rivalry with the Established Church, in what Corms its weakness, nor any absurd defiance of national prejudices. They knew that they violated no law in asking for what was needful for their religious existence, and they acted on an acknowledged right of liberty of conscience. " Other motives were added to show the expediency f abouteo x a gra n ting h g a t that aiis boon L . t h e a ti d to b been granted otrhe ooEn gli s h 100 o s Australia, w Ch t a th t o ol ut ics; as,and fur wa complaint s from any one; and it looked like a reproach to the mo ttoheirto daughters. countryt to withhold from it what had been granted " But one more argument it is right to state, because it bears upon the present excitement. It has been lately the fashion to speak of the Catholic policy as though, up to the late change in its ecclesiastical organization, it had been in a position which was recognized and re spected. The Bishop of London, in his answer to the Chapter of Westminster (the document is not at hand), spoke in this strain; and Lord John Russell, in his letter to the Bishop of Durham, insinuates that its position up to this time was quite satisfactory to him. It would be easy to refer to other documents lately issued. But this is all an imaginary view of the past. Instead of this, the Catholics have been unmercifully treated by every Anglican writer, high church or low church, as schismatics, as rebels to the bishops of England, as having no true bishops. They were told that the very outlandish names of their sees proved them to be foreigners, and that they were not even real bishops. Read the Rev. W. Palmer on the subject,* and see how he treated Vicars-Apostolic. In one pamphlet against the writer of this appeal he began by refusing him the usual courteous title given in all civiliz-d society to a Catholic bishop, and sent him to the Bishop of Worcester, as his diocesan, for leave to preach. Nay, again and again they were taunted with this, that the Pope durst not name ordinary bishops in E ng l a nd, because conscious of not having authority to do so. It was, therefore, a point of no light weight and of no indifferent interest to Catholics, to have this sarcasm silenced and this obstacl. removed; fur many minds allowed themselves to be influenced by the Ewa rent advantage of ecclesiastical position on the other side. Strange that, after defying Catholics on theologi cal grounds, when the stop h as b een taken, t h ese oppo nents should no longer consider it as a question of theology, but of pr rogative; should shrink from meet ing the act with ecclesiastical argument, but shouts fir the sword of the state. Why did they not tell Catholics before, you dare not form a domestic hierarchy (and this proves that you are not the true Church in En gland); because, if you attempt it, we will rouse the people against you, we will lash on the multitude to out rage you, and we will bring down Parliamentary enact ments to crush you?' B u t to return.

After a full discus sion, and further reply to objections, the boon was granted. The Vicars-Apostolic were desired to suggest the best divisions for new dioceses, and the,best places for the titles. These were adjusted, the brief was drawn up, and even printed. "Some difficulties arose about a practical point, and publication was delayed. In 1848 another bishop (Dr. Ullathorne) was deputed to Rome to remove them, and the measure was again prepared, when the Roman revo lution suspended its final conclusion till now. " All this time there was no concealment, no attempt to take people by surprise. All Catholics knew of the intended measure; the papers announced it; so notorious was it, that the Dean and Chapter of Westminster petitioned Parliament against it; and a friend of the writer's heard the Dean of Westminster say, most openly,' Well, he may call himself what be pleases, but at least he can never be Dean of Westminster.' In Battersby's 'lrish Directory' for 1848, the writer was named' Most Rev. N. Wiseman, Archbishop of West minster.' He can add that many letters came to him so addressed. " Then why is this very act, which was openly spoken of, and hardly attracted attention three years ago, now denounced so furiously, and c haracteriz-d so foully? This is not the place to answer this question; it is on'y wished here to state simple facts, and leave others to reason on them. " But the main objects of this introduction are ac comolished, if it has been shown — "First. That this is no wanton, sudden act; that it is not a measure of a grasping, aggressive character ; but one gradually and undisguisedly matured; one based upon the necessities of the Catholic body, its internal regimen, and its healthy organization. The necessity for having a code produced the necessity for the only go vernment which could administer it. " Secondly. That the blame (if any) and the responsi bility of the measure rests with the writer and his col leagues and not with his Holine ss, the best, and h ere the most calumniated ' of men. He, as a kind father, yielded to the earnest solicitation of his children, and they, like wise, naturally suggested those details of execution which were necessary. Instead of being an aggressive act on his pert, it was one of condescension to his vicars, their clergy, and people. Let his apostolic letters be calmly read by any one, and this will appear. It may be useless at this moment to stem the current of vulgar and ribald abuse that is poured out against his sacred person, and encouraged by those whose mission, if they have one, should be of peace. Time will dispers e the mist, and show the transaction in its true light.

" An agitation, perhaps unparalleled in our times, has been rriised by the constitution o- a Catholic hierarchy in this island. Its violence has been that of a whirl wind, during which it would have been almost folly to claim a hearing. After the news reached England of the measure being completed, a pause of a few days en sued, as if the elements were brewing for the storm. Then it burst out with absolute fury; every newspaper (with a few honourable exceptions) seemed to vie with its neighbour, of most opposite politics and principles, in the acrimony, virulence, and perseverance of its at tacks; Liberal and Conservative, Anglican or Dis senting, grave or light, as their usual tone and character might previously have been, the ener gies of all seemed concentrated upon one single point, that of crushing, if possible, or denouncing at least to public execration, the new form of ecclesiastical government, which Catholics regarded as a blessing and an honour. For this purpose nothing was refused, however unfounded, however personal, even by papers whose ordinary tone is courteous, or at least well-bred. Anecdotes without a particle of truth, or, what is worse, with some particles of distorted truth in them, have been copied from one into another, and moat widely circu lated. Sarcasm, ridicule, satire of the broadest charac ter, theological and legal reasonings of the most refined nature, bold and reckless declamation, earnest and art ful argument—nothing seemed to come amiss; and every invokable agency, from the Attorney-General to Guy Fawkes, from prcemunire to a hustling, was summoned forth to aid the cry, and administer to the vengeance of those who raised it. " And, in fact, there soon sprung up from amidst the first confusion a clearer and more natural agent, inter ested in promoting it. The Established Church of Eng land looks upon the new constitution accorded by the Holy See to Catholics as a rival existence; and it is but natural that its clergy should exert themselves to the utmost to keep up an excitement which bears an ap pearance of attachment to themselves. And hence, by degrees, the agitation has been lately subsiding into a mere clerical and parochial movement. " A few years ago an excitement somewhat similar was caused by the proposed augmentation of the grant to Maynooth College. Political and religious feelings brought parties, otherwise generally discordant, into harmonious opposition to the increase. But the great statesman wholthen presided over her Majesty's councils, and whose loss the country has lately so sincerely de plored, nobly stemmed the tide, carried his increase with calm dignity through the Legislature, and yielded nought to public outcry. At the present crisis the Ca tholics of England had no right to expect any co-opera tion from the Government of the country—they asked for none; but they had the right of every citizen to im' partiality. They naturally - might have expected that he to whom was entrusted the helm of the State would keep himself above those influences of party feeling which disqualify the mind for grave and generous counsels; would preserve himself uncommitted by any hasty or unofficial expression of opinion; would remain on the neutral ground of his public responsibility; to check excess on every side, and moderate dangerous tendencies in any party. Instead of this, the head of her Majesty's Government has astonished, not this country alone, but all Europe, by a letter which leaves us but little hope that any appeal to the high authority which rules over the empire would be received, to say the least, with favour. But, another and a still graver power in the State has allowed itself to be swayed, by the passing blast, from the upright and inflexible position which English men have ever considered natural to it. Whatever the agitation and storm that raged around, we have been accustomed to feel sure that the fountains of justice would retain their surface calm and unruffled, and their waters cool and pure. The highest secular dignity in the land has been wisely adjudged to him, who, either seated at the head of the noblest assembly in the world, holds with unswerving hand the balance of constitu tional justice, and utters, in venerated accents, decisions on the most delicate topics of public and royal rights, which pass into very aphorisms of legislation; or, en throned in the innermost sanctuary of justice, decides, almost without appeal, upon causes of vast magnitude, and enters the records of his decisions upon the law tables of the empire. But on the present occasion the storm has been strong enough to disturb the very spring of equity. Instead of waiting till, from the woolsack or the bench, he might have been called upon to speak with impartial solemnity on what may be thought a mo mentous question, the Lord High Chancellor of Eng land has preferred to deliver his award against us from behind the tables of a Mansion-house banquet, and so elicit the anti-Popish cheers of his civic companions, rather than the honoured approbation of the peerage or the bar. His compeer in high judicial duties sat by and listened; was indignant, and justly censured:* should he survive to be his biographer, let him, for the honour of More's ermine, suppress the undignified and un-English phrases which he heard; for no one here , however raised up, has a right to talk of placing his heel upon even the covering of another's head, who however humble, is as much a British subject and a freeman as himself, and claims equal protection from, as he pays equal deference to, the law of his country. While thus the avenues to public justice seem closed ' against us—while the press has condemned and raised our death•whoop in spite of proffered explanations, deaf to every call for a fair hearing—while we may consider that the door of the Treasury may be barred against us if we knock to ask, not fur pensions or funds, but for a reasonable hearing, when the very highest judicial authority has prejudged and cut off all appeal from us, what resource have we yet left—what hope of justice? One in which, after God's unfailing Providence, we place unbounded confidence. There still remain the manly sense and honest heart of a generous people—that love of honourable dealing and fair play which, in joke or in earnest, is equally the instinct of an Englishman— that hatred of all mean advantage taken, of all base tricks, and paltry clap-traps, and party cries employed to hunt down even a rival or a foe. _ _ _ " To this open-fronted and warmhearted tribunal I make my appeal, and claim, on behalf of myself and my fellow-Catholics a fair, free, and impartial hearing. Fel low• subjects, Englishmen, be you, at least, just and equit able ! You have been deceived—you have been misled, both as to facts and as to intentions. I will be plain and simple, but straightforward and bold. I will b e brief alas, as far as I can, but as explicit as may be ne cessary. I begin, therefore, at once with " SEC. 1.-THE ROYAL SUPREMACY, AND BISHOPS NAMED BY THE CROWN. " Down to the year 1829 Catholics were excluded from both Houses of Parliament. and from many other offices and dignities. Or it may be more correct to say they were only enabled to attain these distinctions by taking an oath, entitled the Oath of Supremacy. There was also a declaration required against several Catholic doctrines: but any Catholic who would have acknow ledged the Sovereign's supremacy would easily have de nied those doctrines, and so have taken the entire oath. "What was meant by the King r s - s - upr;m — ae - yWas,tbat in Bri h ti i m s h w e a m s p v i e r s e t , e d sot h t e headship h at he had of h supreme Ch urch power all the r n n, ec clesiastical and spiritual' matters, as well as in ' civil and temporal;' and every one was held to be as subject to the one as to the other. The acknowledgment of, and the subjection to. this spiritual supremacy was in compatible with the doctrine and belief of Catholics all over the world; namely, that there are no such things as national or separate churches; but only one true Catholic or universal church, under one head, the Bishop of Rome, otherwise called the Pope. " The Catholic who believed in this doctrine could not, without giving the lie to his faith, swear or admit that the temporal Sovereign is head of the Church, nor of any church that claimed his obedience. " And because he would not admit that Royal su premacy;or, what is the same, he admitted the Papal su premacy in spirituals, the Catholic was excluded from partaking of the privileges of the Constitution. " At an earlier period Catholics used to be put to death for their denial of the kingly ecclesiastical su• premacy. The best and greatest of English judges, the Chancellor Sir Thomas More, was beheaded for denying that supremacy and maintaining the Pope's. "In the year above mentioned, 1829, an Act was passed and became law, which is familiarly known as the Catholic Emancipation Act. By this Catholics were freed from all obligation of swearing to, and con sequently acknowledging, the royal ecclesiastical supre macy, and an oath of allegiance was framed peculiarly for them which excluded all declaration of belief in that principle. " A Catholic, therefore, before 1829, in the eye of the law, was a person who did not admit the royal supre macy, and therefore was excluded from full enjoyment of civil privileges. A Catholic after 1829, and there fore in 1850, is a person who still continues not to admit the royal supremacy, and nevertheless is admitted to full enjoyment of those privileges. " The royal supremacy is no more admitted by the Scotch Kirk, by Baptists. Methodists, Quakers, Inde pendents, Presbyterians, Unitarians, and other Dissen ters, than by the Catholics. None of these recognise in the Queen any authority to interfere in their religious a t h o e n ce limitsr ns, t o o f a t p h p e o s i e n h p t atraeiter districtsmi ister ins for or wh i t c he h mo , rto mark authority has to be exercised. " None of those, any more than Catholics, recognise in the Bishops appointed by our gracious Queen, in virtue of her supremacy, any authority to teach them or rule them. The real sway, therefore, of this spiritual pre rogative is confined to that body of Christians who volun tarily remain subject to the ecclesiastical establishment called the Church of England. Any one can, when he pleases, separate himself from this body, and from that moment he ceases to consider the bishop appointed by the Crown as his pastor, superior in spirituals, or master in faith. " While the State reserves for that establishment, within the limits of which the royal supremacy is strictly and fully exercised, all dignity, honour, pm-eminence, and endowment, it freely grants to all who choose to live out of its domination, as their equivalent, perfect toleration, complete freedom to practice their religion, whether new or old. according to its principles and to its * " Lord Chief Justice Campbell, I understand, really said, that there seemed to be only one topic on which any one could speak ; but that, for his part, if the high dignitaries alluded to were to come before him, they should, at least, Imo Au impartial [PRICE SD. perfect development, so long as the practice is within tt.e bounds of law, and trenches upon no other's rights. When, them fore, the Sovereign appoints a new bishop to a see, the atholic, and I suppose the Dis senter, divides the act tween tan di, tinct powers. As Sovereign, and as di tenser onignities, the King or Queen bestows on t elected, dignity, rank, an , wealth; he is made a Lord of Parliament, receives a designation and title, becomes seised of certai❑ proper ties which entitle him to fines, rents, and fees. To all this they assent; they may protest, but they do not re fuse the honours due to one whom the King is pleased to honour. The title is accorded, be it his Lordship' or his Grace:' his peerage is admitted, with all its conse quent distinctions, and his fines and fees are paid as to any other landlord. But further, in virtue of the spiritual supremacy, th. same Sovereign confers on that person spiritual and ecclesiastical jurisdiction; and this, in fact, is acknow ledged only by those who are members of the Church of England. Thus if, in virtue of this commission, the bishop publicly teaches or denies, as the case may he, the doctrine of baptismal regeneration, a Catholic no more heeds his teaching than he does that of a Dissenting. minister. If he comes into a town, and invites all to come and he confirmed by him on a given day. no Catholic takes more notice of the call than he does of the parish beadle's notices among which it is fas tened on the church door. If he appoints a triennial visitation for correction of abuses and hearing of com plaints, no Catholic troub!es himself about his coming. And what the Catholic does in regard to these func tions of an Anglican bishop, the Independent does just as much. " It follows that a marked distinction exists between the authority possessed by a bishop and that of any other functionary named by the Queen's excellent Ma jesty. If she appoints an admiral, or commander-in chic% or governer of a colony, or judge, every one is bound to obey that person in all that belongs specifically to his office, and a❑y one would be punishable if he re fused. But in regard to a bishop it is exactly the con trary. Precisely in those very matters which appertain to his office we aro not bound to obey him. No one is obliged to seek doctrine from his teaching, sanctifi cation from his ministration, or grace from his bless ing. This anomalous difference arises from the circum stance that the commission given to civil and military officers flows from the temporal sovereignty, which none may impugn; while that to the ecclesiastical functiona ries proceeds from the spiritual jurisdiction, which may be, and is, lawfully denied. " When a Dissenter denies the royal supremacy (al ways meaning by this term the spiritual or ecclesiastical jurisdiction attributed to the Crown), he substitutes, per haps, for it some other authority in some synod or con ference, or he admits of none other to take its place; but when the Catholic denies it, it is because he believes another and a true ecclesiastical and spiritual supremacy to reside in the Pope, or Bishop of Rome, over the entire Catholic Church. With him the two acts resolve them selves into one—denial of the Royal supremacy and as sertion of the Papal supremacy, And as it is perfectly lawful for him to deny the one, so it is equally lawful for him to assert the other. Hence Lord Chancellor Lyndhurst, in the House of Lords, May 11, 1846, spoke to the following effect:— " He said that it was no crime in the Roman Catholic to maintain and defend the supremacy of the Pope; but that if he did it for mischievous purposes, and circulating immoral doctrines and opinions, he was liable to punish ment by the common law; but if he merely maintained and defended, as he was bound to do, the spiritual au ,hority of his superior, then he said that he wss guilty of no offence against the laws of the country. The Right Rev. Prelate (the Bishop of Exeter) had asked his opinion and that of the Learned Judges as to the right of the Roman Catholics to maintain and defend the su premacy of the Pope in spiritual matters. He said that it was no offence at commoe law for them to do so; but, on the other hand, if any person improperly, wantonly, or seditiously called in question the supremacy of the Crown of England—and that, it was to be observed, in cluded the temporal as well as the spiritual power of the Crown—if any, from any improper motive or purpose, or in any improper manner, questioned that supremacy, then that person would be liable to a prosecution at the common law; and there could be no doubt, if the Learned Judges were consulted, they would so deter mine.* "In the present contest it is of great importance to keep these maxims in mind. For both in the papers, and still more in arldr« sses, it is almost as.amed that Ca tholics have now, for the first time, denied the authority of Anglican bishops, or impugned the spiritual supre macy of the Crown. The bishops and clergy are of course turning the crisis to their own best advantage, and associating their pretensions with the rights of the Sovereign. They are endeavouring, and will endeavour, to regain that influence which they have lost over the hearts of the people, and think to replace, by one burst of fanaticism, the religious ascendancy which years have worn away. But this will not be permitted them by a people too much enlightened on toe subject of religious toleration, as enjoy( d in England, to be easily fooled out of the privileges which it possesses. The nation will watch with jealousy any attempt to curtail or to narrow them, even though Catholics be the victims. Believe me, at this moment, the danger to the religious and civil li berties of Englishmen is not from any infringement on them by the Pope, in granting to English Catholics what I hope to show you they bad full right to obtain from him, but from those who are taking advantage of the oc currence to go back a step if they ca❑ i❑ the legislation of toleration, and take away from a large body of Eng lishmen what at present is lawful to them in regard to the free exercise of their religion. " I proceed, therefore, to examine in " SEC. 11.-WHAT WAS THE EXTENT OF RELIGIOUS TOLE• RATION GRANTED TO CATHOLICS? HAVE THEY A RIGHT TO POSSESS BISHOPS OR A HIERARCHY? " The Act of Catholic Emancipation was considered, not only by those whom it benefited, but by all who consented to it, as an act of justice rather than of favour. It was deemed unjust to exclude from fair participation in constitutional rights any Englishman on account of his religious opinions. By this Act, therefore, preceded and followed by many others of lesser magnitude, the Catholics of the British empire were admitted to com plete toleration—that is, were made as free as any other class of persons to profess and practise their religion in every respect. The law made a few exceptions, but the enumeration of these only served to prove that in every other respect but these the law recognized no restrictions. If the law,' observed Lord Lyndhurst, ' allowed the doctrines and discipline of the Roman Catholic Church, it should be allowed to be carried on perfectly and pro perly.'f " Hence, to have told Catholics ' You have perfect religious liberty, but you shall not teach that the Church cannot err; or, you have complete toleration, but you must not presume to believe holy orders to b. a sacra ment.' would have been nugatory and tyrannical. " Now, holy orders require bishops to administer them. consequently a succession of bishops to keep up a succession of persons in orders. " Hence the Catholic Church is essentially episcopal; end to say, ' You Catholics shall have complete religious toleration, hut yeti shall not have bishops among) ou to gover❑ you,' would have been a complete contradiction ii) terms—it would have amounted to a total denial of religious toleration. " When, therefore, emancipation was granted to the Catholics, full power was given them to have an epis copate--that is, a boby of bishops to rule them in com munion with the Pape, the avowed head of the Church. " Now, government by bishops in the Catholic Church may be of two kinds. " First, the regular, ordinary, proper. and perfect form of episcopal government consists of a local heir archy—that is, a body of bishops having their sees in the country, with an archbishop similarly holding his see. Such is the episcopacy where constituted in its ordinary form. " Secondly, where this proper form is not attainable, a temporary and less perfect mode of providing bishops for a country is adopted. The Pope names bishops to ancient sees situated now in infidel countries, as Turkey or Barbary, and gives them jurisdiction in the country to be provided for, as his own immediate vicars. Hence such bishops are called vicars apostolic. " When emancipation or full religious freedom was granted to Catholics, if in this was included full liberty to be governed by bishops according to the constitution and ordinanc , s of their own Church, it follows that they were at perfect liberty to have it governed according to the regular and ordinary form of their constitution, as much as by the temporary and irregular; and that is by a hierarchy of local bishops. " To have said to Catholics, You are perfectly free to practise your religion and to have your own Church government, but you shall not be free to have it in its " proper and perfect" form, but only in the imperfect form in which it has been tolerated while you had not liberty of conscience,' would hove been a tyranny, and, in fact, a denial of that very liberty of conscience. " But the fact is a simple and plain one, that the law did not say so, and did not put on any such restriction; and we are to be governed by law, and not by assertions. If the Catholics are at liberty by law to have bishops at all, they are as much at liberty to have local bishops as to have vicars apostolic. " Nay, more than this, the law plainly foresaw and provided for our having regular bishops one day instead of vicars. "First, as Lord Lyndhurst, already quoted, has ob served, ' if the law allowed the doctrines and the disci ' pline of the Roman Catholic Church, it should be allowed to be carried out perfectly and properly.' This is in the spirit of every legislation. Our Church system would not be allowed to be carried out perfectly and properly if it was understood (where not expressed) that it was only to be allowed to be carried out in its imperfect and less proper form. Suppose a man has kept possession for years of a house which he had built for himself on my land without my permission, and then •we had come to an amicable arrangement, and I give him leave, without any restriction to have a house there, could I complain if, when his old one required rebuilding, he made it of brick or stone, and say that I always meant he was only to keep up a wooden or temporary house? If any Sove reign granted to any distant country its independence, and power to rule itself by a monarchical government, would it be just, when that form of jurisdiction was * Hansard, vol. lxxxiv. p. 310. t Speech in the Lords, April 0 0, 1846, Hansard, vol.

Now, if Catholics at their emavcipation were allowed to build up their Church according to its avowedly proper plan, which is episcopal, what right can any one have to say, ` Yes, but it was meant that you should only build it of temporary and imperfect materials, such as we have tolerated in you during your oppression and exclusion.' And then, government of a church by vicars apostolic is to its normal state just what a regency is to a mo narchy. " Secondly, the law did put on a restriction. There is an axiom in law, Exclusio unius est admissio alterius; that is, if you specifically exclude or deny the use of one particular thing, you thereby admit the lawful use of that which is not denied. To take the imtance above given; if I had said in my agreement with the house holder that he might not in building make any u.e of sandstone, this would have implied that he might em ploy granite or limestone, or any other stone but the one excluded. Now, if the law of emancipatien did make one exclusion and prohibition respecting the titles of Catholic bishops, it thereby permitted, as perfectly within law, whatever in that respect came not under that exception. The Act of Emancipation forbids any one from assuming or using the style or title of any bishopric or archbishopric of the Established Church in England or Ireland.* From this it follows that they are allowed to assume any other titles. The Bishop of Lon don himself has seen this, and, in his answer to the Chapter of Westminster, acknowledges that the new Catholic bishops cannot be touched by the law as it stands; but he wishes Parliament to be petitioned for a new law, which will narrow the liberty here given us. " I conclude, therefore— " First, That Catholics, by law, had a right to be go verned by bishops. " Secondly, That no law or authority bound them to be for ever governed by vicars apostolic, and that they were at liberty to have a Hierarchy, that is, an arch bishop and bishops with local titles, or titles from places in the country. " Thirdly, That accordingly such titles are not against any law so long as they are not the actual titles held by the Anglican Hierarchy. " Fourthly, That all these conditions having been exactly observed in the late erection of the Catholic Hierarchy, this is perfectly legal, perfectly lawful, and unassailable by any present law. " Then why all the clamour that has been raised? On what ground does the attack made upon us rest ? Why have we been denounced—why held up to public hatred? Why pointed out to public fury? I have not seen one paper which, during the violence of the storm, thought it worth while to look into the question of law and calmly inquire—' Have the Catholics violated or gone beyond the law of the land? If not, why should they be thus perseveringly abused?' "Is it because the Church of Eagland is supposed to be attacked by this measure of the Catholic Church, or its securities are threatened? This is the great and natural grievance of the Anglican clergy in their re monstrances. To this I reply, first, that, even when, in the Emancipation Act, Catholic bishops were restrained !rum taking the very titles held by the Anglican, this restriction was not intended, or sill posed, to give the slighest security to the English Church. Speaking of it, the Duke of Wellington remarked, that ' the (re strictive) clause was no security; but it would give satis faction to the United Church of England and Ireland. According to the laws of England, the title of a diocese belonged to persons appointed to it by his Majesty; but it was desirable that others appointed to it by an as sumed authority should be discountenanced, and that was the reason why the clause was introduced. This was one of the instances which showed how difficult it was to legislate upon this subject at all. He was aware that this clause gave no security to the Established Church, nor strengthened it in any way, but it was inserted to give satisfaction to those who were disturbed by this as sumption of title by the Catholic clergy.' " Even, therefore, our being restrained from adopting its very titles, could give no security to the Established Church; so that we may conclude that still less security would be given to it by oar being forbidden to assume titles which are not theirs. The legislation on this sub ject had clearly no bearing on the security of the Church of England; and if we are to be considered guilty of an aggression against her, and have to be dealt with by fresh penal legislation, for the purpose of propping her up, Ido not nee where you can stop, consistently, short of forbidding Catholics to have any bishops at all. You cannot make a law that they shall only be governed by vicars apostolic, which would be acknowledging directly ihe Pope's power in the realm (which the Protestant bishops under oath cai.not do); still less can you pro ceed to forbidding them to have bishops of any sort, which would put &rem back into a worse condition than they were during the operation of th• penal laws. Any step backward is a trenching on the complete toleration granted us. " 2. The appointment of a Catholic hierarchy does not in any way deprive the English Establishment of a single advantage which it now possesses. Its bishops retain, and fur anything that the new bishops will do, may retain for ever their titles, their rank, their social position, their pre-eminence, their domestic comforts, their palaces, their lands, their incomes, without dimi nution or alteration. Whatever satisfaction it has been to you till now to see them so elevated above their Ca tholic rivals, and to have their wants so amply provided for, you will still enjoy as much as hitherto. kind the same is to be said ot the second order ot clergy. Not an arehdeaconry ,or deanery, or canonry, or benefice,or l►ving, will be taken from them, or claimed by the Catholic priest hood. The outward aspects of the two Churches will be the same. The Catholic episcopacy and the Catholic priesthood will remain no doubt poor, unnoticed by the great, and by the powerful (so soon as the present com motion shall have subsided), without social rank or pre-eminence. If there be no security for the English Church, in this overwhelming balance in its favour of worldly advantages, surely the exclusion of Catholics from the possession of hied! sees will not save it. It really appears to be a wish on the part of the clerical agitators to make people believe, that some tangible possession of something solid in their respective sees has been bestowed upon the new bishops—• something territorial' as it has been called. Time will unmask the deceit, and show that not an inch of land, or a shilling of money, has been taken from the Protestants and given to Catholic. " 3. Nor is an attempt made to diminish any of the moral and religious safeguards of that Establishment, which views our new measure with such watchful jealousy. Whatever that institution has possessed or done, to influence the people or attach its affections, it will still possess, and may con tinue to do. That clear, definite, and accordant teaching of the doctrines of their Church, that fami liarity of intercourse and facility of access, that close and personal mutual acquaintance, that face to face know ledge of each other, that affectionate confidence and warm sympathy, which form the truest, and strongest, and most natural bonds between a pastor and his flock, a bishop and his people, you will enjoy, to the full, as much as you have done till now. The new bishops will not have occasion to cross the path of the prelates of the Anglican establishment in their sphere of duty; they will fi❑d plenty to do, besides their official duties, in at tending to the wants of their poor spiritual children, es pecially the multitudes of poor Irish, whose peaceful and truly Catholic conduct, under the whirlwind of contumely which has just assailed them, proves that they have not forgotten the teaching of their Church—not to revile when reviled, and when they suffer, not to threaten. " 4. But, in truth, when I read the frequent boasting of the papers, and the exulting replies of bishops, that this movement in the Catholic Church, instead of weak ening, has strengthened the Established Church, by rousing the national Protestantism, and awakening dormant sympathies for its ecclesiastical organizat on, I cannot but wonder at the alarm which is ex ' pressed. The late measure is ridiculed as powerless, as efle e, as tending only to the overthrow of Popery in England. Then act ou this conviction; show that you believe in it; give us the little odds of a title which be stows no power, rank, wealth, or influence, on him that bears it, and keep undisturbed those other realities, and let the issue be tried on these terms, so much in your favour. Let it be a fair contention, with theological weapons and fair arguments. If you prevail, and Ca tholicity is extingu:shed in the island, it will he a vic tory without remorse. It will have been achieved by the power of the Spirit, and not by the arm of flesh; it will prove your cru.e to be divine. But if, in spite of all your present advantage, our religion does advance, does win over to it the learned, the devout, and the charit able—does spread itself widely among the poor and simple—then you will not check its progress by forbid ring a Catholic bishop to take the title of liexhism or of Clif. on. " But it will be no doubt said, that many who do not greatly sympathise with the Establishment are indig nant at the late measure, not because Catholics have ob tained a hierarchy, but because its appointment is the viork of the P,,pe. This interference of Rome has aroused so much public feeling. Let us then inquire into this point. " SEC. 111.-110 W COULD CATHOLICS OBTAIN THEIR HIERARCHY? " We have seen that, not only we possess a full right, by law, to be governed by bishops, but that we have an equal right to be governed by them according to the proper and perfect form of episcopal government, that is, by bishops in ordinary, having their sees and titles in the country. "If we bare a perfect right to all this, we have NO less a perfect right to employ the only means by which to obtain it. " We have seen that Catholics are allowed by law to maintain the Pope's supremacy in ecclesiastical and re ligious matters; and one point of that supremacy is, that he alone can constitute a hierarchy, or appoint bishops. Throughout the Catholic world this is the same. Even where the civic power, by an arrangement with the Pope, names, that is proposes, a person to be a bishop, he can not be consecrated without the Pope's confirmation or acceptance; and if consecrated already, he can have no power to perf irm any functions of his office without the same sanction. "If therefore the Catholics of this country were ever to have a hit rarchy at all, it could only be through the Pope. He alone could grtnt it. " This is no new or unknown doctrine; it has long been familiar to our state men, as well as to every one who has studied Catholic principles. " Lord John Busse'', in his speech in the House of Commons, August 6, 1846, thus sensibly speaks upon the subject:—' There is another offence of introducing a bull of the Pope into the country. The question is, whether it is desirable to keep up that or any other pe. platy for such an offence. It does not appear to me that we can possibly attempt to prevent the introduction of the Pore'{ hull. into this country.
