ARCHBISHOP CROLLY AND MR. O'CON NELL. LETTER FROM THE PROPA GANDA. DUBLIN, JAN. 11.—The following most important letter from the Roman Catholic Primate, Dr. Crony, addressed to Mr. O'Connell, appears in the Dublin Evening Post of this afternoon. Archbishop Crolly has published this letter, in consequence of certain statements in the letter of Mr. O'Connell, which vee have already published : " TO DANIEL O'CONNELL, ESQ., M.P. Dear Sir,—On reading in the Pilot, of the 10th instant, your interesting letter, addressed to the Right Rev: Dr. Cantwell, Roman Catholic Bishop of Meath, I was surprised and sorry to find that you had ventured to assert that a letter sent to me some time past from the Propaganda was not a canonical document Allow me to assure you that, in the year 1839, I received from; the Cardinal Prefect of the Propaganda a communication of a similar description, in which I was directed to admonish some political ecclesiastics, who had made at public meetings such violent speeches as were not congenial to the mild spirit of their sacred ministry. In obedience to the injunction of the Holy See, I endeavoured to reclaim those misguided clergymen, but, as my fraternal admonitions did not produce the desired effect, his Holiness directed the Sacred Congregation to send me another letter on the:same subject, in order that I should more efficaciously admonish such priests or prelates as I might find taking a prominent and im prudent part in political proceedings. " I considered it my duty to lay this document before the assembled prelates at our last general meeting in Dublin, who not only acknowledged it to be authentic and canonical, but to be a document of such importance that they entered it on their minutes, and unanimously resolved that they would regulate their conduct according to its injunctions, and use their influence with their clergy, in their respective dioceses, to prevail on them to follow its salutary in structions. You have repeatedly declared that you would be guided by the decision of the assembled prelates, and I am sure that you will not wonder at my astonishment, when I found that you had publicly denounced a document which met with their unquali fied and unanimous approbation. Knowing the honesty of your heart, and the fidelity with which you adhere to the authority of the holy Catholic Church, I deem it my duty to subjoin the entire letter which I received from the Propaganda, together with the resolution of the prelates at their late meet ing, in order that you may not be misled by unsatis factory information, but may have these genuine documents fairly placed before your own impartial and powerful understanding : " ILL3IE.

Licentiate of " Sixteentlily,object to this Bequests Act because it most unjustly takes away from Catholics altogether the power of demising or charging for the necessary purposes of the charity any lands which may be de vised under its provisions. The power of letting Ca tholic charity lands is given altogether to the Protes tant majority of the Commissioners —that being the ne cessary result of the majority. It is true the Act re quires the assent to every such lease of the Catholic in cumbent; but if he shall not assent lands may lie waste, and the Board of Commissioners have thus a power of coercing him into signifying his assent. This is a most vexatious portion of the Act, and would be found most mischievous in practice; but I still entertain the strongest hopes that all Catholics will desert the Act, and let it perish by inanition, unless, indeed, it be sooner repealed. " Seventeenthly. I object to this Act of Parliament from the absolute, uncontrollable, and irresponsible power it gives the Secretary at the Castle, or whoever else represents the Government in Ireland, over the Ca tholic Commissioners. The three reverend prelates that are now in the Commission may be turned out (if I were not:speaking of such reverend personages, I would say might be kicked out) at at any moment, without any fault assigned, or assignable, and without the form of even one hour's previous notice. The Lord Bishop of Down and Connor may come up from Belfast to attend his duty as a commissioner, and may find on his arrival that he was superseded, without any other ceremony than such an uncivil letter as that written by Mr. Henry Sugden to the repeal magistrates. In fact, there never was such unqualified despotic authority as that granted by the Bequests Act to the Government over those Ca tholics who have accepted, or shall hereafter accept, the office of commissioner. I. " Eighteenthly. I object to this Act because it gives so insulting a prepOnderance to the Protestant Commis sioners. It is really monstrous. The Catholics of Ire land are the overwhelming majority of the Irish people ; and are therefore entitled, upon principle, to a majority in the Commission. They would ask nothing more than an equality; yet they are entitled for another reason to the majority—that is, because the Parliamentary returns show, that in the last year 22,0001. was vested in Catho lic charities, and only 8,000/. in Protestant charities. The Catholics being thus in the majority of 9- 10ths of the population, and paying 3-4ths of the quantity of money devoted to charity, yet this Act of Parliament gives them but five, commissioners to eight. How bitterly do I regret that such an Act of Parliament has received any countenance from any of our reverend prelates " Nineteenthly. I object to this statute by reason of the insulting manner in which it was carried. It was passed through both Houses of Parliament without any previous consultation with the Catholic clergy or laity ; or, if any of the laity were consulted, it was in such privacy as not to have been as yet discovered, and must have been with some one of that class who are never consulted except when mischief is intended. It was carried, I need not say, when my son and I were unjustly imprisoned. If I had been in the House I think I would rather have perished on the floor than have allowed such an Act to pass at the period it did—the close of the session. " Twentiethly. I object to this statute because in its nature it must have tended to create a schism or division among the Catholic prelacy and clergy of Ireland— to raise doubts, dissensions, and distrusts in the Catholic body, clergy and laity ; and above all, to create suspi cions, however unfounded, and, a tendency to irreverence towards such of the clergy as may connect themselves with the present anti-Irish Administration. " Twenty -firstly. I object to this statute because it is a direct assertion on the part of the Legislature of a right to give to commissioners of the appointment of the Government authority over Catholic spiritual matters ; such commissioners having no other spiritual qualifica tion than that they must profess to be Catholics.' "Twenty -secondly. I object to this statute because it imposes duties on Catholic Commissioners which, I humbly conceive, they cannot in conscience perform. In my humble judgment the administration of Catholic charities should be left to Catholics exclusively—the ad ministration of Protestant charities to Protestants ex clusively—the administration of Presbyterian charities to Presbyterians exclusively—and the administration of Unitarian charities to Unitarians exclusively ; whereas this statute confounds all in one mass, and renders it incumbent on the Catholic as well as the other Commis sioners to adhere strictly to the education of Protestants in Protestantism, of Presbyterians in Presbyterianism, and of Unitarians in Unitarianism. " There is another duty which this statute imposes on the Catholic Commissioners—that is, to sue for and re cover property belonging to the regular clergy, and to apply that property to other charitable purposes. " Upon this subject m) opinion is firm and undoubted. I mean my opinion that it will be the duty, under this Act, of the Catholic Commissioners to spoliate the pro perty of the regular clergy, and to apply it to other cha ritable purposes. " His Grace the Archbishop of Dublin has upon this subject preferred the opinions of ➢fessrs. Smith and Greene to mine. It will be my humble duty respect fully to show his Grace that the opinion of these gentle men is either inapplicable or equivocal, or, at all events, that it is unfounded. But this letter has run to such a great length that I must reserve this subject as the exclusive topic for a second letter, to follow this without any delay whatsoever. I trust by the next post after this letter arrives in Dublin it will be followed by the letter on the regular clergy. " I cannot, however, conclude the present letter with out expressing, in sorrow and in anguish, the apprehen sions I deeply entertain from the facts I have avowed— namely, the existence of a conspiracy betwen the English Government and English Catholic agents at Rome to delude the Ministers of his Holiness the Pope, and to obtain measures calculated to affect the civil rights, but, above all, the religious independence of the Catholic Church in Ireland. LLOYD'S SHIPPING. EAST INDIA SHIPPING. power which the British Government most anxiously desires to obtain, and is now known to be engaged in a dark plot to achieve. " Eleventhly. I object to the Act, because it purports to give jurisdiction by Art of Parliament to Comu'is sioners, eight of whom are Protestants, and two of whom are Catholic laymen, over the usages and discipline of the Church of Rome, and over the title of every bishop, parish priest, or other ecclesiastical incumbent in Ireland. I object to that jurisdiction as being Protestant in prin ciple—namely, emanating from an Act of Parliament, an Act of the lay Legislature. It may be said that there is an inherent jurisdiction in the Catholic priests, named in the Commission, over these spiritual matters of usage and discipline, and perhaps ever what the Act fantasti cally calls intendment of usage.' But my answer is, that such spiritual jurisdiction can exist only within the diocese of each bishop who is a Commissioner, and the power under the Act to decide upon the usage and dis cipline of the Catholic Church is not confined to that dio cese. Another answer is, that no such inherent jurisdic tion can be said to exist in the two lay Commissioners. Sir Patrick Bellew and Mr. Blake are not spiritual per sons. At least, the only title they have to be so is de rived from the Act of Parliament—a derivation the vali dity of which I utterly deny. " Twelfthly. I object to the statute, because the power of the Commissioners extends to deciding who is the lawful incumbent according to the discipline of the Ca tholic Church, as a bishop of any diocese, and as a parish priest of any parish. For example, as to the bishop : suppose a legacy bequeathed to the Bishop of Elphin, and that any dispute arose as to who was, according to the discipline of the Catholic Church, the bishop of the diocese, that question would have to be decided in the first instance by the three Catholic prelates and two Catholic laymen—being Commissioners—it being, as I presume, admittedly uncanouical for them to make any such decision. " Thirteenthly. I object to the statute, inasmuch as it gives jurisdiction to the three Catholic prelates and two Catholic laymen to decide, in the first instance, upon a disputed title to the incumbency of a parish in the diocese of another bishop—it being perfectly clear that those five Commissioners, or:any of them, cannot have anycanonical right to decide that question. " Here I am bound, once more, to take up the pastoral of the Most Reverend Doctor Murray, and accurately to state how he seeks to solve this difficulty. His answer to it will be found at page 22. These are his Lordship's words:— " In cases of doubt, as to who is the authorised priest, for whom a donation or legacy may be intended, the usages and discipline of our Church are for the present placed under the guardianship of your own bishops, who will be able, with the blessing of God, to have a rule established, whereby, in all such cases, the certificate of the diocesan bishop shall be taken as conclusive evidence.'

I%d. or •tis. 9cl each " Mark well that his Grace here distinctly admits the existence of the difficulty. He admits that, according to the statute, one Catholic ,bishop being on the Com mission, gets jurisdiction over the diocese of another bishop. Nay, the Catholic laymen in the Commission obtain from the statute similar jurisdiction. Mark, also, that it will not be denied by anybody that the exercise of such jurisdiction by a bishop or layman is uncanoni cal, and, I believe, therefore necessarily criminal. Mark, also, that it is this statute that thus confessedly gives a jurisdiction, the exercise of which would be essentially criminal, which is the subject of the present diseussion. Who can be surprised, then, that many Catholic prelates have strong conscientious objections to co-operate in any way in carrying out a statute that, beyond a doubt, authorises the commission of a canonical crime ? " The existence of an uncasonical authority in and by the Act being avowed, his Grace suggests a remedy— namely, the making a rule whereby the certificate of a diocesan, in case of a controversy as to who is the autho rised priest, shall be taken as conclusive evidence.' " Such is the remedy suggested by his Grace. As a lawyer, I am bound to inform him that such remedy is impossible,' for these r easons: — " First. There is no such rule in the statute, nor any thing to authorise the making by the Board, or any part of them, any such rule. No authority is given to anybody to make such a rule. " Secondly. There is nothing in the statute to au thorise the making of any rules or regulations whatso ever relative to the charities. It would require an ex press clause in the statute to that effect, and to give the power of making rules of evidence, and there is cer tainly none such. " Thirdly. The controversy as to who is the autho rised priest to receive a legacy, must necessarily include at all events the fact of at least two persons, each claim ing to be the authorised priest ; and as only one of them could be the person appointed ,by the bishop, so the other must be driven to controvert the bishop's right of such appointment. It would, therefore, be against every rule of evidence to allow the bishop's cer tificate to be conclusive evidence of the validity of the appointment made by that very bishop. It would be considered in point of law monstrous to attempt to con clude the person who disputed the bishop's appoint ment, by the certificate of that very bishop. Such a certificate could not be made evidence—still less con clusive evidence—without an Act of Parliament. " Fourthly. The 6th section, that gives to the Com missioners the authority over the discipline of the Ca tholic Church, takes special care to prevent the doing any act, and:of course the making any rule, inconsistent with our law. Its provisions, in particular, render any rule for the admission of illegal evidence impossible ; because on the one hand it prevents the certificate even of the entire five Catholic Commissioners from being carried into effect, unless so far as it can be lawfully executed according to the provisions of the Act. And it contains this proviso : " Provided always, that nothing herein contained shall be construed to limit or affect the jurisdiction of any court of law or equity.' " The jurisdiction, therefore, of our courts as to legal evidence cannot be limited by the Commissioners, or by any rule they may make to substitute a convenient certificate for strict and technical legal evidence. " Fifthly. The certificate of the Catholic Commis sioners, though authorised by the statute, is not in itself conclusive. They cannot themselves make a conclusive certificate. It would, therefore, be quite absurd to sup pose that they could empower another person to make a conclusive certificate. " Sixthly. Itidoes not follow that if such a rule were made, and were (what it cannot be) validly made in point of law, that it would be acquiesced in, or adopted by, the prelates who differ with his Grace Dr. Murray on the subject of the Act. His Grace acts from strictly con scientious motives, and he has powerfully expressed the obligation of that conscientious feeling. He thus strongly expresses it, page 6: Conscience (he says) is a stubborn monitor—it is unsafe to despise its admoni tions.' But there are many Cathdii bishops who think they cannot, without crime, co-operate in carrying out this Act. Conscience is to them an equally stubborn monitor as to his Grace. It is equally unsafe for them as for his Grace to• despise its admonitions. The pre lates I allude to would deem it criminal to co-operate in carrying out the Act. There can, therefore, be no use in a rule which these prelates cannot sanction without committing what they deem a crime. " There is another point of view in which the un canonical nature of this Act of Parliament jurisdiction in the diocese of other prelates is beyond the power of such a remedy as that suggested by his Grace, even if it were valid. It stands thus :—Suppose the question of the legacy to arise between two bishops—and it might quite as well arise between two bishops as two priests— what certificate can possibly meet the objection of bishops, Commissioners, deciding between two of their equals ? Who is to certify? " In fine, layman though I be, nothing can, in my humble judgment, be more manifest than the uncanoni cal nature of this Commission-jurisdiction. It originates from an impure source, having nothi ng s pi r it ua l about it but its usurpation of spirituality. It originates in and by an Act of Parliament ; and it will require to work itself out, that the Commission, prelates or laymen, should exercise jurisdiction in localities where they can have none, except by usurpation. Ido not dispute the right of Protestants to have the jurisdiction of their pre lates conferred, if they think fit, by Act of Parliament. At the same time, I utterly dent any Act of Parliamem authority over the usages of discipline' of the Catholic Church. " I now return to my objections : " Fourteenthly. I object to this Act of Parliament Commission, because the Bequests Act contains what is admitted by his Grace Dr. Murray to be a mischievous clause. The Catholic Church of Ireland, in Catholic times, was abundantly endowed. Its wealth and its lands, its churches and its possessions, were all swept away by iniquitous Acts of Parliament, and transferred either to laymen, or for the sustentation of a mode of worship utterly repugnant to the judgment and faith of the original donors. The Catholic Church and Catholic charities were reduced to utter destitution. We do not seek to recover the lands or possessions, but is it not too, bad that the heirs of the spoilers should dare to limit the portion of the life of a Catholic in which he may restore Catholic churches and charities to some degree of com petence, by granting his land for church or charitable purposes ? Yet this Bequests Act actually limits the period of the life of every Catholic, during which he is permitted to dedicate lands to the service of religion, and the sustentation of the sick and poor, or other charities. " Fifteenthly. I object to the Bequests Act because, the ' mischievous clause,' as his Grace so well calls it, necessarily implies a foul and false calumny against the ( Catholic clergy of Ireland. It suggests that our beloved clergy avail themselves of the weakness of dying per sons to extort bequests 'of land for the benefit of tee church or charities. We laymen have challenged inves tigation upon this point, and defied the ingeniouse and active malignity of our enemies to show where such undue influence was exercisde. a T 'mischiev one case They have o y us . been unable to show any such case; yet th clause' in the Act continues to proclaim the calumny. And though the mischief is a dmitted and the calumny proclaimed, yet . th os who admit the one and proclaim the other may be foun&supp i or . ting and carrying out thi s fatal statute.

Dispatches from the Governor of South Australia were received yesterday at the Colonial-office. " Since I commenced this letter, I find it avowed by the Whig press, that the Whigs whilst in office had an English agent residing at Rome, in order, if possible, to influence the political opinions of that Court unfavour ably to the liberties of the Irish nation. It is no longer concealed that Mr. W. Petre is acting in that capacity for the present !Administration. I have already as. serted, and I assert again, from undoubted authority, that his Grace the Most Rev. Dr. Crolly is in possession of a letter from the Propaganda relating to the repeal agita tion in Ireland. It is an awful predicament to have the Catholics of Ireland placed in. The secrecy that has been hitherto observed makes the facts at present disco vered only the more formidable. How can we be secure if, under such circumstances, any minority of our pre bates should enter into any arrangements with the British Government, or sanction any arrangements, uninfluenced by the judgment of the majority of the Irish prelates, and perhaps uucommunicated to the laity or to the re sidue of the prelacy ? I do not say or insinuate that any such arrangement has taken place, or is at all likely to take place ; but it is unfortunate, very unfortunate, that at such a moment as this, with a full-blown conspiracy against the independence of our Church just discovered, this Act of Parliament Commission should be in exist ence, and should be accepted by any of our prelates, however venerable or venerated. For one, I tremble at the possible result. " Something should be done to quiet the just fears and necessary apprehensions of the ever faithful people of Ireland. It will not do to attempt to muffle those fears and apprehensions by alleging that more consolatory intelligence has been received from Rome. Until now we did not know of the conspiracy at all—the entire was concealed. How know we what it may be the interest of the English agent to conceal ? I believe there is no doubt that the letter to his Grace the Archbishop of Armagh was obtained and transmitted at a period when the friends of the independence of the Irish Church at Reme were absent, either in vacation or upon business. There was a singular dexterity in obtaining and dis patching that letter. " There is no part of the Catholic Church in the uni verse more faithfully submissive in spirituals to the authority of his Holiness the Pope than the Catholic Church in Ireland. Clergy and laymen both join in this unqualified submission. As a layman I myself proclaim, and I trust practise, the most dutiful submission in spirituals, morals, discipline, and doctrine to the see of Rome. Yet I have sworn—and so have all the Irish Catholics—that the Pope has not any temporal or civil jurisdiction within this land. " But we must be vigilant. We are bound to preserve the independence of our Church from all temporal power. We are bound to protect our political liberties from , every infringement. It is a miserably unhappy thing that, at such a moment, the Bequests Act should appear for to afford any facilities to the British Government We further ensnaring or deluding any of our prelates have flung off before, and we fling off again, please God, all vetoistical arrangements. will submit nt some nl dis'c'ulsnslnthye s s e t c a o t n e e o t t u e r r r t e o g y u • o l a u r r e L I e o r r g d y s i b p ut I of Rome qn these most interesting suggestions as to the . propr t i i e n t g y s o u f bi a ee l ts ay . d T e h p e u r t e atiiosnntoo fact, the law respecting law to prevent or in.tnegrfeee:mitanh s ie u a ct io a n delegation.

The following protest has been issued by the Primate, Lord John Beresford, and eight other prelates of the Est. bushed Church in Irelied. Ir is really aer ; against the course adopted by Sir R. Pe I aud his G.- vernment on the queetion of National Education. " We, the undersigned prelate. of the United Chtirce of England and Ireland, have judged it to be our duty. upon some former occasions, to address those members of the Church who are directly committed to our care and government, and all others who are disposed to look to us fir conned and support concerning the question of the education of the poor in Ireland. And as there are various particu'ars in the actual state of that question, which appear to make a similar address from us pecu liarly needful at the present time, we proceed once more to the discharge of this anxious, arid in some respects painful, though, as we cannot but feel, clear and most important duty, in humble reliance upon the guidance and blessing of Almighty God. " Upon the,former occasions to which we have referred, we felt constrained to make known the very unfavourable judgment which we had formed of the national system of education for this country—distinctly declaring that we could not approve of it, or assist in the management of it, or recommend to the patrons or superintendents of schools that they s h ou ld p l ace them in connexion with it. Baaolguul against tn l u e h t s l t a ' nh a o s ipg o tl w ha b i ntle i reluctancelitrtgheeodrmdffuetur3etei.donhcugoedniNale.tci oldeclare e es so oa bd a lie n sc d i cei r de e d g al >rnedt andtmh t we y is int publiclyn e felt d by the St a t e , to which we owe, and are ready to render, i p t e h ll t e l d ia u t s w to hi e c x h pr w e 'e ss o t a h • u e s t p o la G in o l d y . and strongly our disapprobation and distrust of' this sys tem ; and we lament that it does not now permit us to retract, or to soften, those declarations of our opinion. We consider it to be the more necessary to state this ex plicitly, because it is conceived by some persons that certain modifications of its rules, from time to time intro duced by the Commissioners of National Education, have done much to remove the objections on which it has been from the beginning opposed and rejected by the greater portion of the members of the Established Church ; and as we are unable to form the same opinion of these changes, we deem it our duty to obviate the mis apprehension to which our silence might give rise, by stating distinctly that we cannot discern in them any sufficient reasons for withdrawing or qualifying the con demnation which we have deliberately and repeatedly pro nounced. " When the Government first announced its determi nation that this system should supersede those to which the State had before given support, it was very generlly opposed by the clergy and the laity of our Church. The grounds on which this opposition were made to rest were various. The undue prominence given to secular to the depreciation of religious instruction; the disregard shown to the position and claims of the clergy of the Estab lished Church, tending to throw the direction of national education into the hands of the priesthood of the Church of Rome; and other defects and evils, both of the system itself in the machinery by which it was to be worked, were urged as grave objections against the proposed plan of education. While its opponents differed as to the im portance which was to be assigned to some of those ob jections, there was one, upon the paramount importance of which all were agreed. The rule by which the Holy Scriptures were to be excluded from the schools during the hours of general instruction was treated by all as so fundamentally objectionable, that while this should con tinue to be the principle of the system, they could not conscientiously connect their schools with it, even though all the other grounds of opposition were taken away. " In the former societies for the education of the poor, with which the clergy were connected, they had, in ac commodation to the unhappy divisions of this country, consented to forbear from any attempt to teach the for mularies of our Church to the children of Dissenters, Protestant or Roman Catholic, who attended the schools of which they had the superintendence. But they did not judge themselves at liberty so to deal with the Word of God. There was in every school a Bible class, and in every school to read the Bible was a part of the daily business ; and all the children in attendance, of whatever religious communion, took their places in this class, as soon as their proficiency enabled them to profit by the reading of the Holy Scriptures. But the distinction of the new system was that it placed the Bible under the same rule with books of peculiar instruction in religion, and excluded it, with them, from the hours of general education. And, moreover, this great change was avowedly made as a concession to the unlawful authority by which the Church of Rome withholds the Holy Scrip tures from its members. " It could not have been expected that the clergy of our Church, who are bound by obligations so sacred to resist spiritual tyranny sand to oppose the errors of the Church of Rome, would join in a system of educa tion, of which the distinctive claim to acceptance and support was the aid which it gave to one of the most violent exercises of this tyranny—that which is, in fact, the strength and protection of its worst errors. It was not merely a question of the amount of good which was to be done by retaining the Bible in its proper place in the education of the poor—though it would have been painful to give up this means of doing so much good to the Roman Catholic children, to whom (commended as they are in so many ways to their sympathies) the clergy, in general, have the power of doing so little; but there was still a graver question of the amount of evil which would result from the change, and the part which the clergy were to take in effecting it. The principle of the sufficiency of the Holy Scriptures,' as it is main tained by our Church, is a fundamental principle of the most momentous importance. It is by means of it that truth has been guarded and handed down to us by those who have gone before us. And it is by means of it we are to preserve this deposit of truth, and to defend and transmit it, pure and unmutilated, to those who are to come after us. While, on the other hand, it is by re jecting this principle that the Church of Rome is able to retain and to defend its errors, its superstitions, and its usurpations. It is well known that our Church exacts from all its ministers an express declaration of their belief of this great doctrine, and a solemn promise that they will regulate their ministrations in conf ormi t y w i t h it. And th steady maintenance of it is still further bound upon our clergy, when they are, by God's Pro vidence, placed in circumstances in which they have to carry on a continual contest for the truth—not merely for the deliverance of those who are in error, but for the preservation of those who are more immediately com mitted to their care—and in which it is plain that their prospect of success in either object depends altogether upon their adherence to this principle, and that when it is in any degree allowed to become obscure or doubtful, in the same degree the cause of truth is weakened, and that of error strengthened in the land. And they could not doubt that if they connected their schools with the national system, and thereby entered into a compact to dispossess the Bible of the place which it had hitherto occupied in them, they would be, in the eyes of the young and the old of both communions, practically ad mitting the false principles of the Church of Rome, and submitting to its tyranny, and abandoning the great prin ciple of their own Church, concerning the sufficiency and supremacy of God's Holy Word. " It would seem that the board,'to which the manage ment of national education is committed, has not been insensible to the force of this grand and primary objec tion. It changed the offensive, but true ground, on which the exclusion of the Scripture, from its schools was originally placed, for another which was more spe cious and popular ; and parental authority was brought in to occupy the post at first assigned to the authority of the Church of Rome. Those who were acquainted with the state of the country knew that there was no real abjection on the part of Roman Catholic parents, speak ing generally, to read the Bible themselves, or have it read to their children, but the contrary. And, in fact, when ecclesiastical authority was first exerted to put down scriptural education in the country, it had to en counter very stubborn resistance from parental autho rity—a resistance whieh undoubtedly would have been successful, if it had been aided, as it ought to have been, by the State. But a renewal of this:struggle was not to be looked for. However true it be that Roman Ca tholics in general would pi der that their children were taught the Bible, this desire is seldom so enlightened or so strong as of itself to arouse them to a contest with the authorities of their Church. Under former systems they resisted the despotic power which forbad their children to read the Bible, chiefly because their submission to it would have involved the loss of an improved method of secular educa tion. But when, in consequence of the establishment of the National System no such loss could ensue, it was not to be expected that any considerable number would persist in opposing the mandates of the clergy, or that the latter would find any difficulty in constraining the parents, from whom they were able to withhold the Bible, to forbid the use of it to their children. This be fie i a n ti g o u t s h e case, which taken be felt hauteia, in the e n dr r e ul all e, t the heemmuot ti t matte so u p o r m om e prominently, is remait.ed in substance and fact unaltered an that the , exercised their children. on and through the parents of really y nta th l e au a t u h t o h r o i r t l y ty w e h f ich th i e s like civil and ecclesiastical, and C Pu h t ur f c o t r i th of all oth er "It is still further to b e co n si d ered, etuli.at parental authority,_ and therefore can _possess none, when i s lawful authority, derives all its force from the authori• of God ; din opposition to the Divine authority which it rests.

Our clergy would, and ought to abstain from anyldirect efforts ito excite resistance,:or even to en courage it on the part of a child, until they had good grounds for regarding that resistance as intelligent and conscientious. But they could not recognise such an exertion of parental authority, as if it were lawful, and lend their assistance in enforcing it. So that, even if it were voluntarily exerted in forbidding the Bible to be read, our clergy could not consent to bind themselves to aid in giving effect to such an unlawful command. But when they regard the parent as himself in bondage to the usurped authority of the Church of Rome, and as not exercising his own free will, but obeying as a pas sive agent, in binding the same yoke upon his children, the duty of refusing to co-operate with him is clearer. The clergy may be able to do but little towards delivering their Roman Catholic country men from such bondage, but they can at least keep themselves free from the guilt of becoming instruments in rivetting tits chains upon' them ; and this, accordingly, they resolved to do in which resolution—as in all that they have done in this matter—they had the full con currence and support of the lay members of the Church.
