T - HIS Company was Established in 1844, for the urpose of opening to the pu'lic all easy and unquestion ably safe mode of Investment, with a high and uniform rate of Inte— rest. The plan of the Bank of Deposit differs entirely from that of ordi nary Banks in the mode of employing capital —money deposited with this Company being principally lent upon well secured Life Interests, Reversions in the Government Pnrids, or other property of ample value. This class , of securities, although not immediwely converthle, it is well known yields - the greatest amount of vrofit, combined with the most perfect safety. Further, Loans made by the Company are collaterally secured by a Policy of Assurance on the life of the Borrower, or his nominee, effected at a rate of pre miutn which secures the validity of the Policy against every poS siple con Ingencv. Thus depositors are effectually protected against the possibility of loss, whilst the large and constantly increasing revenue arising from the premiums on Assurances thus effected yields ample profit to the Company, and provides for all the expenses of management. Darosrr AccouNTs may be opened with sums of any amount, and increased fr .m time to time, at the convenience of deposit. re A receipt, signed by two Directors, is given for each sum de- posited. RATE AND PAYMENT OF INTEREST- The rate of Intertst since the establishment of Vie Compiny has never been less than five p, r cent. per annum; and it is confiden ly anticipated that the same careful ant judicious !election from secu rities a the desceptlon abpve mentioned will enable the Board of Management to continue this rate to depositors. • !the Interest is payable in January and July. on the amount stand. ing in the name ~ f the depositor on the 30th of rune and 3 st .4 December, and for the convenience of pa ties residing at a distance tnav be received at the Branch Offices, or remitted trough Country Bankers. , PETER htORRSON, Managing Director. 3, Fall-Mall Last, London, Forms for opening accounts may he obtained at any of the Branches or Ace .ci s, or they will be forwarded, post free, on appli cation to the. Managing Director. LADY . FRANKLIN'S FINAL SEARCH.— Th. Guyer=Pot having come , t) the con clusion that the fate of the crews of her Majesty's ships Erebus and Terror requires no further investigation on their part, Lady Franklin, in accordance with her sense of what is due to the lost navigators, is now fitting out an expedition at her own cost. As a preliminary measure she sought assistance from the Admiralty by asking for the loan of the Arctic ship Reso lute, which had been restored in perfect order to our Queen by the American nation, and also for the gift (as granted in her former private expeditions) of such stores from her Ma jesty's dockyards as are svailabie for this special service only. - Compliance with these requests having been &dined. Lady Franklin is now devoting her whole fortune to this final search ; and a large screw yacht (the Fox) lying at Aberdeen, has been purchased, which the distinguished Arctic officer who has accepted the command of her (Capt .in McClintock, R.N.) has pronounced to be perfectly adapted to this em ployment. Not repeating the arguments we formerly made use of to induce the _Government to undertake a final and exhaus tive search, we hold to the opinion that it is the duty of Englishmen to examine th t limited area whence the traces of our missing countrymen were derived, which, though it lies to the south of well-searched tracts, and has been ap proached by vessels that have returned without loss, has never yet been explored. Supported by the advice of those experienced Arctic sea men, in whom she has every reason to confide, Lady Franklin makes this last effort to clear away the mystery that shrouds the fate of her husband and his crews, and possibly to rescue from their insulated icy abode among the Esquimaux some of his younger companion's, who may still be prolonging a dreary existence. On such an occasion we, whose names are hereunto sub scribed, feel confident that this our appeal will not remain unanswered 'by the British people, who will, we doubt not, tender to the widow of the illustrious navigator that sym pathy which his fame and her devotion must call f rth, and will aid her in carrying out an enterprise involving, as we believe, the honour of the nation. We earnestly, therefore, entreat our countrymen to unite with us in contributing to this noble object. R Klerick I. Murchison, Pres.

The full rehearsal for this grand and unexampled celebration, which, although entirely the work of a society of amateurs (the Sacred Harmonic Society), may be fairly regarded—that society representing the musical taste of England in its noblest and purest expression—as the homage of a great nation to a great man, took place on Saturday morning in the Crystal Palace, before an assemblage of many thousands of persons. For th first time was tested the combined effect of the much-vaunted 2,500 singers awl player', in theivarnense and elaborately constru ted orchestra prepared for their reception, and with a space for sound t , ) travel in which no ingenuity ciruld devise =he no, , aos of enclosing, and which had con even' ly rendered questionable the wisdom of the experiment when jedged from the point of view of acoustics. Hesitation, never theless, was partialy checked from the very out s it, , ind as the music went on, and the area gradu ally filled, the result became less and less uncertain, until finally all doubt was expelled, aid the appre hensions preposterously entertained in certain timorous quart era with regard to the possible effects of reverberation on the roof and sides of the build ing, having a t , gether vanished, a triumphant suc cess for the Handel Festival was unanimously and confidently predicted. To convey any idea of the sight that unfolded itself to the spectstor, in no teat er what part of the edifice contieu, us to - the area he might he situated. —whether from the orchestra and t..e adjacent gal leries, looking down upon the multitude below, or from the base of the ceittral transept, gazing up at the orchestra, wilt its army of musicians of both sexes, backed by the gigantic organ towering to the roof—whether froth the organ loft itself, or from the remotest of the galleries facing it, whence in either ins ance the eye might comprehend the whole prodigious and vatiegated picture at a glance— would demand the graphic pen of one who has de scribed the paraphernalia of Imperial consecration with the saute vivid eloquence:aa he has portrayed the evolutions of martial hops, the array, 'he inci dent', and sanguinary results of battle. We can only say that even those most f imiliar with the in terior of the " Palace made of windows," and tinder circiuns'ances of the greatest festivity, can form no notion of it, but most await 'the experience of to day to acknowledge that they have never beheld the like before. To argue from the incessant circula tion which took place dering the rehearsal, there was as much anxiety to obtain a series of views as even to judge of the effect of the music. The winding staircases that connect the galleries with eaidi other appeared to distant beholders as though endowed with locomotive power—as if, indeed, they thennselves were making, with strange evolutions, th passage from platform to platform, o f w hich - theyweremerelythe unconsei..us instruments under the pressure of living feet. The oeportunity of per pet ing so imposing a spectacle was not lost, since while Mr. C mats was directing the rehearsal of one of the choruses, Messrs. Negretti and Zambra, photegraphe , s to the Crystal Palace Company, pro cured, iu almost an instint of time, for the stereo scope a very striking daguerreotype view of the !whole orchestra and a great part of the audience, 1 which was subsequently fo rwa rded to her Majesty the Queen. The orchestra. its aspect, and the method of its construction have already been described in general teems : but a few brief technical memoranda will not be out of place. This really ingenious and novel week of architec'ural carp entry was not e.ected. by contract (like its costly predecessor, at the inauguration of the Sydenham Palace in 1854), but planned and completed by Mr. W. Earee, the cotpanyresid , rit cle, k of tee works, ass i s t e d by ihe permanent stiff of workmen. It occupied a space of 14,784 superficial f-et, 168 feet wide, and absorbs 10,102 cubical feet of timber. The weight of the entire structure is about 160 tons. The banks of seats for the chorus are 23 in number, which, with nine for the instrumental performer,, makes a total of 32. The highest range is 52 feet from the floor of the orchestra, where Mr. Costa, the con ductor, and the principal vocalists are stationed. The average curved extent of each range of seats is 190 feet. The huge mass of tml.er is supported by "uprights,". wilt a scantling of sin. by sin. ' and diagonal braces 4in. by liin. The whole frame work is dis ributed in squares of 8 feet, "centre and centre." The organ, erected for the occasion by Messrs. Gray and Davison (who al o built the instrument for the last Handel é mmemoration, which took place in 1834, •at Westminster Abbey) covers an •area:of-42. by. 26 feet, and is .supported --by a plSt form ofeaormous : length and solidity. •So;ne cl sariptiott of this magnificent instruinent'—of which Sathrd-sy's exp , triefie,•under the hamis and feet of Mr. Brownsmith, organist to' the Sacred Harmonic Society, more than confirmed the favourable anti- . cipatiens=--has &ready been given in The Suit, m conpatiied.- by a cA .I , gus of its steps, &c. Any attempt at a technical analysis of its mech.niCal Construction, or even at an abstract apprec'at o i.i f its mer:t4, would be out of place in the columns of a newspsper not exclusively devot d to such mit, •t?r• ; but we may .afford space f a short extract from a pamphlet. evidently writt..oi by an accom pli4hed connoisseur, an I which enters at g! a L t. length into the' peculiar cl.ims of the new instru ment to be regarded as one of • the most adufirable w.-iks of Eng!isli manufacture The aim of the builders has' been to - produce an in strument the varied qualities of wlyich should combine all desirable musical beauty with force and grandeur of tone sufficient to qualify it for the part it is specially de stined to bear intbis great commemoration ; and, should . the result he pronounced successful, it is presumed .that. the very unusual difficulties, to which the instrument is subject will be felt to prOportionately enhance the credit due to its constructors". On an occasion when all the pre. parations are on so vast a scale it will be naturally con• eluded that the . festival. organ mu t be,- even in the oh violas and external sense, a very lugs instrument. In this particular it is highly probable that the spectator. wll at a first glance be disappointed. The prodigious dimensions of the transept of the Crystal Palace, 'dwarf ing to alt but insignificance every single object it en closes, operates of course in greatly dimini-hing the ap parent magnitude of the organ. The reader has been else where informed that the orchestra prepared for this occa _ _ eion 'alone covers considerably more space than found in any music ball in the kingdom ;' and he may be assisted to estimate the space occupied by the organ if told that it stands on more ground that al'ott'd to or nary houses.- lts width is 40 feet by a depth of 30. He will perhaps be at a loss to conceive how b 3 any possibi lity a inimical instrument can require a'l these 1,200 su perficial feet of standing room, awl be tempted to set it down as a piece of display—an attempt to itn e ose on him by the mere appearance of magnitude. A few simple facts will convince him that these arrangements are coo: trolled by a necessity passing all show. — When he is told that ttliF form contains 4,510 sounding pipes, varying in Sze from 32 fe.it in lintel, with a diameter sufficient to TasilYadmit the passage of a oat man's body, to less than 1 inch in length, with the bore of an ordinsry quill; that, in order to place thesi4 510 pipes effic'ently at the performer's dispo-al, at least 6,800 other f eeparate work ing parts are required (many of -these being complete machines in themselves, the separate members of which, it reckoned are in the process of manufacture, would at least quintuple the number) ; that all these 11,310 sounding and working parts require such a disposition and arrangement that each one may be more or less easily acce4sible for those occasions of adjustment which must frequently arise in so complicated an instrument ; and, finally, that the entire masa before him weighs nearly 50 tons, he will scarcely fail to perceive that the space is 'economically rather than osisntatously occu pied, and will, moreover, be enabled psrhaps to under stand some of those points often deemed mysterioui with regard to large orgacs in general—such, for example, as their cast and the - time occupied in their manufacture. " Internally the Crystal Palace organ is beyond doubt a very large instrument. Although the number of its pipes is for many reasons a very fallacious test, when applied to • the power and capability of such an instru ment, it may be well to state that in this respect it con siderably Exceeds the world.famous organ at Haarlena— the total" number of pipes in the latter being 4.088. while, were the two placed side by side in the Crystal Palace orchestra - , the difference in point of power wouldim,still more remarkabre. The performer has at his disposal four nomplete rows of keys, each having a comna , s of 58 cotes, and each commanding a distinct department of the instrument. He has alio a set of `pedals' --a key-board played .by his feet, in fact—by means of which he calls forth the ponderous basses ne- ceftary to support the general harmony." Further opportunities are to be - afforded of test ing.the powers of the organ in the intervals of the festival days, when Messrs. T. 'Best (of St. George's Hall, Liverpool), G.Cooper(of St. Sepulchre and „ St. Paul's), and U. Smart, three of the most com petent organists in this country, will respectively perform upon it, for the edification and instruction of visitors. But to return to the Tehe%rsal. The mere pre iminary of getting 2,500 vocal and instrumental performf-rsin theirTpl ces without confusion would, it was very naturally imagined, involve a labour of no or dinary di ffi culty ; but so e ffi cient were ihe pre cautions adopted, and so easy the means of ingress and egre-is, that the feat was accomplished without a single misunderstanding. At 11- o'clock, the hour appointed for beginning, every singer and every player was stationed in the spot assigned, while every instrument and every music book was at the immediate disposal of the owners. This shows how much, with how little pains and in how short a time, can be effected by simple regulations and strict discipline. The regulations were due to the committee of . the Stared Hsrmonio Society, under the • upetintendence of their untiring agent, Mr. B(.wley ; the discipline proceeded from the mo ral control of Mr. Costa, to the exercise of which he owes no little of the influence both social and pro fessional that has invariably attached to his posi- tion. The generalissimo, whose duty was to mar shal and review the harmonions host assembled at the mighty name of Handel, was, as usual, to the minute at his post. The cheers and acclama ions that greeted him, not only from the crowds that peopled the area and galleries, but from his own forces, anxiously awaiting the first gyrations of his familiar wand, testified to the popular deference ho has won through his perseverance, an , l the convic tion that he was born to sway, not to serve. For a moment Handel himself, the Crystal Palace, and all that it contained were forgot , en in Mr. Costa ; but when—after the overture to thti " ha,l been performed (in which the amazing force of stringed instruments almost bewildered the hearer favourably enough situated to catch the entire vo lume of sound)—the first strains of that majestic chorus, "And the glory of the Lord," were led off by the altos, answered by thetrebles, and the whole measure of harmony filled simultaileously up by tenors and bases, Handel resumed his sceptre, and from that instant remained undisputed monarch of the day. Several choruses from the first and second parts of the " Messiah" were gone through, and, among oth-re, " For unto us a child is born," " He is the King of Vie Glory," and "The Lord gave till word, great was the company of the p reachers"—all of which (and they are very different in character) produced a marked sensation. But fn,re 'he sublime " Hallelujah" most was expected, and the greatest results were obtained. The weight and sonority of the numberless bass voices, in unison, on the pas sage " He shall reign for ever and ever," which forms one of the counter-themes of this transcend ant hymn, were marvellous ; and when—at the end of the progression (so wondrous from its combined simplicity and grandeur), in which the treble s hold out a succe=sion of long-sus a.ned notes, iron D up to .4—the entire force of voices and instruments united iu giving einp!)asis to the chord which leads to the resumption of the original key, the effect was nothing short of a upendous. It is worthy of remark that " great as was the company of," singers and players, their efficiency - was not only preserved in passages where they are employed on plain harmony, but just as mu( h where the work ing of two themes in conjunction renders the acqui sition of clearness and precision a task of much more difficulty. There was not the slightest evi dence of hesitation from beginning to end. We have one observation to make, however, in a more critical spirit. It may be absolutely ,necessary, under the conditions of such a performance in such a place, and with such a host, to take the " Hallelujah" and other choruses slower than the composer meant, but it is assuredly not necessary to depart from his intentions without some bene ficial result to sanction the liberty. Now, no such resat, but the contrary, is derived from the "pianissimo," upon which Mr. Costa insist=, at the commencement of the chorus "For unto no a child is born," and as far on as to the passa;Er on the words " wonderful—counsellor— he mighty God —the everlasting Fah .r—the Prince of Peace." There is no warrant for such a reading. The pro clamation of the birth of a Saviour is not tuade in a whisper, as if it were a secret perilous to disclose, but in accents of exultation, conveying the joy and gratitude of the nations at their delivery. A n ab stract° musical effect may, perhat s, be attained by, the sudden bust upon tl e word " wonderful, after a long continuance of underhreath sirvgin`z , but it is an effect wholly iudependent of the w ords. Handtl has given appropriate significance to the exclamation by putting the voices in full . har mony and reinforcing them with the - whole strength of the orchestra. But we protest here against this reading chiefly because it fails, u.utler the actual circumstances, to achieve the point 'con templated. Where we were placed during the 'per formance of "For unto us a ch ild is born," al most the whole of that part which precedes the excl ama tion, " Wonderful i" was lost. We could not hear the trebles give out the theme, nor the tenors at aswer them, nor the altos respond to the tenors, nr,.e the basses join the altos with their florid clivisiorjs. Nor wars the cOunter-theme, introduced by the tenors (" And thji g.ivernment be upon His shoulders"), distmc ly audible ; or, indeed, anything. until the arrival of the fovtissirne on the word " wonder7ul," which was the first indication to many not intent upon the moverneres of the conductor's stick that any singing or p!aying was going ou. . It is e isy to adjust this misconcer Von (to which, as was shown at Exeter-hall on Friday night, the provincial sing rs were evidently uuaccustomed), a n d th us prevent one of th. 3 finest pieces in 'he " Messiah" from losing a great pa•t of its impressiveness. After the " Messiah" sever:rick •ruses from "Judas Maccalimus" were rehearsed, a' d to such goo 1 porposii- as to encourage the belief that Wecluesdav's performance will be as musically attractive as any. Among others • must be noted as partieutrrly suc ce.,...fill the pathetic lamentation for Mattathias— "Mourn ye afflicted chil Iran"—with which this n ibleoratorio 's inaugurated ; "Disdainful of dae. ger," and ‘• Wc never will bow down," bo'h mas terpieces of energe is choral declarna , ion •, and, last and test, the rmignificent "Fallen is the foe," at the opening of Par t IL , which even the composer of the." Alessiah" a has never surpassed. "See the conquer ing hdro cones" (appropriated by Handel himself from the oratorio of "J, slate), and tre march that follows it, so picturesque and full of character,- were also among the pieces t rie and were listenel to with eager attention by the aucli-nce, which at this period had swelled into a vet itable multi+ tide—greatly in favour, by the way, ofth musical effect. The rehearsal of " Juan; ' was rendered-additionally agree ble by the appear aricc of ttvo of the princip.il solo singers; - Madame Clara Novello and Mr. Sims Reeves—the former of whom sang the I ecitaiive and air, "Oh Liberty," and the latter the fiery war sing of Judas—',' Sound an alarm." Tbe-e highly esteemed artists were leceivedwth due honours. The reception accorded to Mr. Sims Reeves, however, breh by the orches tra and the audience, was overwhelming ; and this no doubt urged km to unwonted enthusiasm, s'nce on, no previous occasion have we heard km sing, either Sound an alarm," or anything else, with "such splendid energy and dramatic power (for the air in question is dramatic to all intents and pur poses). It was surprising no less than gratifying to witness so lively an impression produced by our English tenor, after the unwonted displays of choral grandeur that had gone' before. Not the least interesting feature in the ' performance of "Judas Maccabmus" will be the extra orchestral accompaniments supplied by the experienced pen of Mr. Costa, of the merits of which—as they were doubtless writt-n with a special view to the dimen sions of the Crystal Palace—we shall not pretend to judge until we hear them in a morecircumscribed arena. After the interval of an hour—during which Mr, Staples and his numerous staff were busily em ployed, and apparently to the satisfaction of every one who had recour‘e to their aid-:—the vast or chestra (which had been emptied with great expe• dition) was once more tenanted---tlie same order And precision bing observed as at the commence ment of the rehearsal. Severl pieces, bhietly choral, from "Isrft-1 in Egypt" were now tried, incluling the opening chorus, "And the children of Israel sighed ; "He spake the word, and there came all manner of flies ;" "He gave them hail stones ;" " He sent a thick darkness ;" "He smote all the fir-tborn of Egypt ;" " He led them through the deep ;" " But the waters overwhelmed them ;" " The depths have covered them ;" " Thy right h tnd 0 Lord is be-come (as Handel Ills ar_mentuated it) glorbos in power ;" " The people shall hear ;" and the "Horse and his rider." F r more reasons than one the choruses from " Israel" were the most sa isfactory essays of the morning. This astonish ing work—the choral masterpiece of Handel, com- posed the same year as "Saul," just after his failure as manager of the Italian Opera, when he was honourably bent upon defraying the debts he had incurred, and in the incredibly brief space.of 27 days !—or rather so much of it as was given on Saturday, has never before been heard to such ad .. vantage: . The' well-known " Hailstone" chorus literally "electrified" the audience, wbo, forgetting it was only a retie irsal at which they were pre- siding, insisted with such unanimous persevercince upon a repetition, that, in order to btain elence, . . . and be enatied to proceed with his du'ies, Mr. Costa was compelled to accord his assent, and so the piece was gone through again, to .the great ... delight of all - present. the ciouble chorusces in which " Israel in Egypt" abounds came out with exiraordinary power. But—whit was still more gratifying—the two pieces where false or wavering intonation has almost passed into a tra dition, or at least been overlooked as inevitable, " He sent a thick darkness" and "The people shall hear," were sung by the multitude of voices per fectly in tune from end to end. Nevertheless, we must aeft;n object to the accomplished Neapolitan c, , ncluctor's reading of a very important point. We allude to the termination of the choral recita tive, "He sent a darkness," which was robbed of its awfully impressive character by slackening the time on the words " which might be felt," and especially by dwelling longer than the composer has indicated ou the monosyllahle " be." This imparted a theatrical character to one of the most solemn passages in the whole of "Israel"--the least theatrical and most uncompro mising of all the oratorios of Handel. Solo singers will take such liberties, and no one can prevent them ; but we should regret to see the system even tolera . ed, much more inculcated in choirs that have to deal with sacred music. Another of the prin cipal singers—Miss ,Dolby—came forward at this period of the rehearsal, and tried, with eminent i-uceess, the peculiar and not over grateful air, " Their land brought forth frogs." Much disap pointment was felt that the famous duet for basses, " The Lord is a man of war," was not rehearsed by Herr Formes and Mr. *else, who were both present, and whose fine voices everyone was anxious to hear. This probationary performance terminated with the national anthem, the effect of which from such a congregation of vocal and instrumental performers may be well imagined. Mr. Costa then summoned the superintendents of the various London and provincial part of the chorus, with whom it was arranged that the sopranos and altos should change places with the tenors and basses in orchestra. The idea was happy, since the fairer members of the chorus will now be stationed in the centre, which must certainly prove advantageous to the general effect, since during the rehearsal it was more than once remarked that the m tle voices were heard with much greater distinctness than the ethers. Moreover the aspect of the or chestra will derive an addito al grace from the fist of the 750 ladies of the chorus being so placed as to be visible from all parts of the area galleries. We need scarcely state that the performances come off to-day, Wednesday, and Friday, and that the oratorios selected are the " Messiah," "Judas Maccebceus " and " Israel in Egypt." After 46 J u d as afacceboeue " on Wednesday it is in intended that the Old Hundredth Psalm—which made so profonnd sn imp , ession at the inaugura ti .n of the Crystal Palace in 1854—shall be sung. One verse will be given in unison by the whole of the 2,000 voices. The financial success of the Handel Festival is, we have good reason to believe, placed beyond a question. By agreement with the Crystal Palace Company the committee of the Sacred Harmonic Society bound themselves not to exceed a stated outlay, and the limits proposed and adopted have not been transgressed. Previous to the rehearsal on Saturday it was calcula ed that a profit of be tweet,. 3,000/. and 4,0001. over and above expenses had already been realised ; and, as occa sions a large number of personsbe n inouvarnaua lelc materialy o * s defer securing places until the eleventho hunted on. It is as addition may reasonably well to suggest, for the benefit of may be of the public, that, although tickets for the performance ob tained, as usual, at the en:ranee of the Crystal Palace, it will save both time and trouble to apply fee them in advance, either at the central office, in Exeter-hall, or at the branch office, 79, Lombard street, both of which are open at 8 a.m. The numbers of persons who have come to Lon don oil p u rpose to attend the Handel Festival will doubtless exercise a beneficial influence elsewhere. Not to name the Opera and other theatres, we may point to places which it is more edifying to see crowded. Westminster Abbey, for example, was filled to overflowing yesterday morning by an at tentive and devout congregation, consisting in a large measure of provincials. To conclude, if the accommodation for visitera by rail be as well and expeditiously conducted as on Saturday, there will be no reeson to apprehend the slightest difficulty in approaching the Crys'al'Pa lace by that method of conveyance ; while, on the other hand, the wealthy owners of carriages and broughams, together with the less pri-tendeng char terei sof cats and other veh'cles on bile, will be pleased to learn that a good deal of the dust 'has been laid on the road leedine f'om Dulwich to the Palace, so that the extra halfpenny ex!orted at the turnpike will be no longer aggravated by the incon venience of a riimoom.

But wherever the Government' s a dutiful sebject of the Vatican, who so zealous on the side of order as the Popisheniestbood ? There is, however, this wide difference between their conduct under each ,con tingency. Democracy they hate from their hearts, and only use as a toil ; despotism they love with congenialwarmth, and use as a trust-d.confederate. From one point of view we cannot blame them. High theories of civil government' re naturally allied to high theories of ecclesiastical government. We might object to either or to both ; but as long as the alliance - was openly: acknowleged and -vindi ca+e-1 on broad principles the Romanists would be entitled to as niu3h forbearance and chari'y as any other houest antagonist. But it is the attempt to ire-suede the people of this country _th et Roman ism is something essentially different from what it is—something which sympathizes with fieetlom. of . theught and action both in religion aid politics, instead of being fundamentally hostile to both-- that Las excited in tne minds - of the British people a sentimeet of unconquerable distrust. It has now become almost impossible to eersuede them that when the R6manist.spealis on pol questions be has anything at heart, but the ail vAncetneet of his re'igiv.us tenet , . D-structive in one coutitry an.l obstructive in another ; here calling for reli gious liberty, there burning the Bible and 'fleshing the heretic ; now prating of loyalty, and anon whispering rebellion, be has created an impress'on which it will take nigh a century to efface—'hat with politics lie plays fist and loose, and will ad vocate political theori• s meet opposed to the funda mental principles of his creed if he thinks he cto thereby shake the resolution of Ministers or entrap the .sympathy of mob'. The above remarks may seem too. severe for the occa sion, and we hasten, to repeat that it is the sys tem we are condemning more than indviduals. Under the potent influence of a carefully organised system, directed by the deepest sagacity, experi ence, and foresight, individals lose much of their responsibility, and become almost . unconscious agents. We have no desire to.ma,ke any personal reflections upon' those noblemen and gentlemen Who are band d together fur the purpose of repeal ing the securities exacted from their coreligioulets in 1829. We only say that their language upon the subject of religious liberty does but show the extraordinary extent to which men can impose upon thenpielves, and th-; ext. aordinary confidence which Romanists entertain in the credulity of mankind. 1f the Church of Rome were as consistent as the other bodies of English .Dissenters, she would be treated with the same consideration ; but we cannot allow the great watchwords of civil and religious liberty to- be prostituted to the pUrposes of a church which would throw us off our guard by professions of friendship, and when the ramparts were unmanned rush on the . defence'ess citadel. This language, we repeat over and over again, is not ton strong. It is justified by experience ; it is justified by the conduct of the Roman Church in this country in 1850 it is justi fied by the spectacle of Irish and C.intinental Popery fet many years past ; and more than all it is justifi d. by her recent expetimnts in Belgium. It is the boast of Rome that she never changes ; and if the . speaks fair to Litnralism we may be cer tain 'it is with the intention of betraying it. Granted that the oath' imposed in- 1829 leaves many Roman Ca - holies perfectly free in con • science to vote as they choose, it does not leave all, and even that is something gained. But what is more to the purpose is this, that a great principle is thereby affirmed ; that the dangerous difference between Rontanisin and every other form of dissent is constantly kept before us ; and that this un doubtedly does exerciee a certain moral influence over the whole of the community. This is the ad vantage of the existing state of things, and we do not see what counterbalancing boon would really be conferred on the Romanists by the removal it. If they wish to remain good subjects of Queen Vic toria, and to abstain from interference with the Church of England, where is the hardship 7 It they don't, where is the policy of granting their request? —The Press.
