TO THE MEMBERS OF THE LIVERPOOL TOWN COUNCIL. GENTl.olEN,—under the heads of translation and notes, I have already given you one pf .. onr strap_g objections to the books, erroneously called &cripture lessons, which are used iu your schools. On.the subject of translation I have now to add, that in the lesson-book professing to contain the Gospel of St Luke, the variations from the authorised version amount to one thoulapd xile hundred and eighty ; and in the lesSori-lieole of the Acts of the Apostles, the variations are one thOusand nine hun dred. and „six. Many of these ate necessarily immaterial as to the,x)eaming of the sentence.; but,, in the:aggregate, they give, to the books (Woks professing to he Scripture) the aspect and sound of complete novelty. I have_ already shown how utifaif . this ic itself, and how disastrous it is calculated t o be in its consequences. . We object to these books, in the third place, because they elevate the Douay version of the Old Testament, and the Rheimish version of the New Testament, (these two compose wait is .commonly called the Douay Bible,) tutu a position of pjtel authority with our authorise d vers i on,. • Iti the preface to No. 1 we are informed that " the transla tion has been made by a comparison . of the authorised and Dailey versions, with the original." In the subsequent nuni hers, the .words of the Rheimish translation are frequently adopted; in St. Luke above six hundred times, in the Acta of the'Apostles aboVe five hundred, and the notes Contain numer ous references to the Rheimish version. Thus it appears, that the combined sources from whence the lesson-books profess to be. derived are the authorised version without cote or comment, and the Douay version with both notes and comments, a leaoing of preference being manifestly given to the latter. Moat of the notes appended to the lessons are original, containing many unaiithorised statements of doctrine, of private and es parte interpretation. To the existence of nines at all, in books forced , into use as these are, we objed, as an unfair rejection o f the great Protestant principle, and adoption of the invariable Romish practice. It is quite possible that, beyond this, no objection may occur to yqur minds against, the equality of„autherity claimed., for the Dpuiy and authori4ed versions. On the contrary yen Juav be dispnsed to inquire, why should they not be treated as of authority? . In reply to this, it will be useful to revive a few historial reminiscences concerning the translations made at Douay and Rheims. These will materially assist us in forming a cnrrect estimate of the value of the translations themselves.. have already called your attention to the histUey of our authorised version, and to the high testimonies. in approbation of it. compiled by Mr. Horne. To these I will add no more than the tribute of Mr. Southey, who calls it " a,truly admira ble translation, whereiii, after the great advances which have been.made in oriental and Biblical learnine, no error of main intipeitance has been discovered."—/Lok (f the Church, vol. 2, page 337. Hear now the history of the Douay Bible. The founder of th'e colleges at Douay and Rheims,. arid the chief translator of the Rheimish Testament, was ,Dr. Willi tm Allen. He was an Englishman; but for multiplied acts of treason, was com pelled to fly from his country. He went to Flanders, where he exercised all the powers of his mind, - and they were great, to check, and if possible to overthrow, the pro2tess of the Protes tant Reformation in England He became a pensioner of the King of Spain, and - was created - cardinal by the Pope. lie laboured to corrupt the soldiery of Englan I, and succeeded , in temptin g Sir William Stanley to betray Deventer, in Holland , to the S paniards. In Concert with the Jesuit Parsons, he de, viied the scheine of the Spanish invasion of England, in the celebrated " Invincible Armada." He was patroniied by the infamous. Duke de Guise; who, with Catherine de Me - diei.c plagued the massacre of tens of thousands of Protestants,. on St. ,Bartholomew's day : and he was the wilting instrument of 4iregory XIII, who appointed a Public thanksgiving at Rome, for the success of the above mentioned slaughter. Cardinal Allen sent Jesuits into England,; to t tint the principles of the peoge. The pupils in the colleges he founded were taught all Manher of ways to divide Protestants in principles of religion ; and were themselves bound by an oath, of which the following is a copy. " 1, A: 8., di acknowledge the ecclesiastical and political power of his Holiness and the mother church of Rouse as the chief head and matron above all pretended churches, through the whole earth. And that my zeal shall be for St. Peter and his successors, as the founder of the true and ancient Catholic faith, against all heretical kingS, princes, states, or powers, repugnant unto the same. Aud although I, A. 8., /nay pretend, in case of persecution, or Otherwise, to be heretically disposed,.yet, in soul and conscience, I shall help, aid, and succour the mother church."—Strype's Atteeb, ii, part 2, p. 237. "In the year 1582, the Romunists holing it impossible to withhold the Scriptures any longer from the common people, printed an English New 'testament at Rheims; it was trans lated, not from the original Greek, but ft curl the Latin Vulgate. The editors-(whose names are not known) retained the words azymtss, tunike, holocaust, parche, and a multitude of the Greek welds untranslated, under the pretext of yranting proper and adequate English terths, by which to render them, and thus con trived to render it unintelligible to conaruon readers. Hence the historian Fuller took occasion to remark that it was a "trans lation which needed to be translated," and that its editors, "by All means laboured to suppress the light of truth under one pre tence or other." Our learned countryman, Thomas Cartwright, was solicited by„.Sir Francis Walsinghain to refute this transla tiOn,,but after ha had made considerable progress in the -work, he was prohibite'd from proceeding further by Archbishop Whit gift,:who judging it4approper that the defeuce of the doctrine of fire Church of.gfattil shauld be . committed to a puritan, -ap pointed Dr. William Fillke in his place. By hits the divines of Rheims were refittesi with g reat spirit and ability. Fulke's work appeared in 1617, and in the following . year, Cartwright's confntatton was published under, the auspices of Archbishop Abbot; both of them were accompanied with the Itheiniish translation of the New TeStament. The Old Testament was translated from the Vulgate at Douay, (whence it is called the Douay Bible,) in two volumes, 4to; the first of which appeared in 1606, and the 'second in 1610. AnnotatiOns are subjoined, which are ascribed to one Thomas Worthington; the trans lators were William (afterwards Cardinal) Allen, Gregory Martin, and Richard Bristow. This translation, with the Rheimisn version of the New Testament above noticed, forms the English Bible, which alone is used by the ltomanists of this country."— Horne' s Introduction, vol. ii, p. 249, edit. v. Archbishop Newcome has given the following rule (and wise men will agree in esteeming it a wise rule) forconductinga trans lotion of the Scriptures : " The translators should be philologists, not controversialists." The re verse of - this is notoriously true concerning the Douav anti ttnetmtsu . as -their actions and their notes proved, most furious and unscrupulous controversialists. They gave such violent ex pression to their opinions, that even the Church of Rome her self has never since so far thrown off the mask as to give the imprimatur of her avowed and authoritative sanction to their preductions. The Rheimish Testament, with its intolerant notes, was re published in Dublin, in 1816, "'corrected evised, and approved" by the most Rev. Dr. Troy, R. C. Archbishop. It was reviewed with well-merited severity by the British Critic, (N .S.) vol. viii, ' . 296-308. After this review had attracted public attention, and excited public indignation in England; Dt. Troy published St.dislairner of the notes "as harsh and irritating in expression, Lime of them false and absurd in reasoning, an d many of them as uncharitable in sentiment." Such is the book which is elevated into an equality of estima tion with our authorised version,—which is referred to conti nually with approbation in the lessons now in your sehools.—and against which, whether in the matter of translation, or in the contents of the notes, not one syllable of disapprobation is ever whiikiered by the Irish board! Is not our charge of unfairness rgainst those lessons fully established? And tl ought not Pro teifants to be loudly wated of the precipice on the brink of Whieh their dear children must stand, if yes nutted to enter those ijhOols, and to have their opening minds familiarised with those disastrous books? Did Dr. Murray, as a member of the Irish boaid, claim for the Rheimish Testament, Without any pointed and prominent protest against the cotes, an authority parallel to the authority Vie claim for our version? This is an interesting inquiry. If he did, what becomes of his disclaimer, his indignint, his Sworn :dfieraiiner of those notes ? If he did not, what shall be said of the voluntary exuberance of liberality itt the Protestant iiemtiers of the board, advancing an ultratriiPish version into a position which even the Church of Roue does not claim for it ? And what shall be said of the impartial meekness of Dr. Murray in allowing that version to be so unduly 'lmmured by the overflowing gou'd-riature of his Protestant eoadjutators? 4. We object to these books fourthly, because they distinctly inculcate many of the unscriptural doctrines of the Church of Xtome, 1 shall adduce three instances : first, on the fanciful JOCality which Roman Catholics are taught to call purgatory ; secondly, on their undue exaltation of the Virgin Mary; and, tiairdly, on the supposed sacrifice of the mass. Clearly to per vAive "the nature and extent of the mischief aceomplished in these books, by expressions of apparently:little consequence, it is absolutely necessary to be iu some degree acquainted with !be state of the controversy, as it has long existed, on the vital Aiffereuces between Popery and Christianity. This ,must prove my excuse for what may appear to some of you to be tedi ous. . • Purgatory.—Gregory Martin uses these words as the heading of one of his chapters,—" Heretical translation against ,purga tory, Limbus Patrum, Christ's descending _into hell." Ile af terwards states " their (the reformers') principal malice being Against purgatorie, that is, against a place where Christians' soules should be purged by suffering of temporal pains after this life, for since maintenance of their erroneous denial thereof, they take away and denie all third places, saying, that there never was, from the beginning of the world, auy other place for smiles, after this life, but only two, to witte, heaven for the "blessed, and hell fur the danined."—p. 196. In proof of this charge, that the Reformers corrupted the text, in order to avoid any translation which might countenance the iaotion of purgatory, he alleges that, instead of translating Genesis xxxvii, 35, as it is in the Douay—" I will g oo down .to my sou into het, (or the place of the dead) mourning." they translated L will go down into the grace, unto my son, ' inourning." ~• The ground here taken in _proof of the heretical translation o 1 the Scriptures by Protestants, is, that they render, by the ap.. propriate phrase " the grave," that which in the Runtish ver sions is rendered ". hel," or, "the place of the dead." The _translation of the word in one way is deemed heretical; in th e 'Other it is considered as affording evidence of the ekistence ot' - i(place besides heaven and hell, to whidi the souls oh the de fr:parf4d'are consigned. Under these circifinstances,' it will be interesting to observe which of the two tiaides of translation the `'Coinmissioners of Irish Education have . seleCied. For this trpose I shall" now give the passage in which the disputed word occurs, is the authorised version, the away - , and the Irish li4ssons. THE LIVERPOOL STANDARD Authorised version.—Gen. xxxvii, 35. For I will go down: ,into the grave unto my son, mourning. .I)ouay.—l will go down to my soil to hel mourning. sou to the place of the dead . Lessons.-1 will go down to my mourning. , Here the protestant translation, the- pare, is avoided ; and Abe Roman Catholic explanation, the place of the deitd, ;aditpted. And thus the Irish lessons are fairly heed from what Gregory Martin calls the "heretical translation against - purga-' :;torie, Litnbus Patron), &e." On the contrary, they contain a , transiation conceding all that the Church of Rome has con .tended fur upon this point. And these are the books prepared for the hands of Protestant Children !—See Dr. NeWhiud's Exntnination, Sec. The Virgin Mary.—ln the - preface to 'the Lessons from St, Luke, we ate informed—" It (this number) contains the whole of the Gospel of St. Luke." Yet there is an omission of ten 'verses from the first chapter,lhe 27th to the end of the 37th. his of itself is extraordinary. Bt.t what do the omitted verses contain? They contain; among other things, the address of the An , ,tel Gabriel to the Virgin Marv. Why should this be "T ea .itte , d? B ecause i t d oes not conta i n t h e ce l e b rate d " ange li • grtacs.aintation" o f the Romish church—Hail, Marv. full of To have introduekil tlfis into the text, without even one convenient man too darin g a sae„, to Time in its favour, would have been wh i ist r tt e , : for time Ittsb Roth!.

The pa I.araid u .„, E4 - • otnitted,verses, in an abstract bf fhC The effect of this is worthy of attention. At the end of each lesson in these book„, there is list of . . questions referring to the matter of the lesson ; by tiiese qtiestons the master impresses the substance of the lesson on the attention of the children. In the list after the lesson now before us, these qUestions occur. i r How did the angel address her?" " What more did he say to her ?" To these there is no direct answer in the words of the lesson. 'the child naturally pauses for the master's help. Howis the master to help the child? Is he to give the scriptural answer, and suppress the Hail, Mary? Or is he to . give the Roman Catholic answer, and. suppress the Word of God.? Or is he to give both answers? Or is he to give no answer? Is he to tamper with his own conscience, and ,evade any peculiar religious instruction, whatever his own con seient bias opinions may be ? Or is he to have no conscience of his own,,that he may be an accommodatiug instrument of the •new system ?. The best system. of education that ever was, or can be, devised, can never work well _without faithful, conscien tious, and intel.igeut masters; and masters of such a character, are, by these books, placed in a predicament of intolerable hardship. The masters may be, in Ireland most of them are, Roman Catholics. How will such mast. rs help the children in such circumstances? What answer will they give? Undoubtedly they will say, " Hail, Mary, full of Gracel" and thus they will teach Protestant children what the Word of God does nut con tain, but what is a tradition of the Church of Route. The sacrifice of the mass. In the passages of Scripture where the institution of the Lord's Supper is given by Christ, and repeated by St. Paul ; the language is in the present tense. It is to this effect in all,. and in these words in one :—" This is my body, which is given for you ; .this do in remembrance of me. This cep is my blood of the, New Testament, which is shed for you." In the Rheituisli Version of the New Testament, an alteration is made in the lat ter.part of the sentence. It stands thus; "This Chalice is my blood of the New Testament, which shall be shed for you." On this difference between the present and the future tense, Re ines! Catholics, so far as they refer to ‘ Scripture for authority, build the doctrine of au unbloody sacrifice. _They tell us that Christ then and there gave his body ; for he says, `"it is given;" therefore then and there was an unbloody sacrifice. But that, ip the second 'clause, there was a reference to the sacrifice on the,eross, therefore it is . put in the future tense, and not in the preseet—" it shall be shed for you." Thus Ilarding i in his controversy with Bishop Jewel, says, that " Christ offered eind sacrificed his body and blood twice ; first, in the holy, supper, utibluotlify; and afterwatds on the cross, with shedding of blood." • The bishop answers him : Wherefore, whereas Mr. Harding saithoinly upon his min warrant., that. Christ. realie sacrificed himselfe at two sundry times, first at the table, _and afterwards upon the crosse ; the untruth and folly hereof is easily reproved by these pinin words of St. Paull Semel .oblates eat, ed maltorein eihaurientla. .Peccat.a s and againe, Witt-cone sacrifice he liatlt : made perfect them for ever that he sanctified.' I'hi4 places are clenre and Without questieu, unless-Mr. Harding will say that stile and two and once and twice be both one thing."—Jewes Ifciiks, 1,611, p. 417. The original language, and the analogy of Scriptural truth, are in favour of the uuitorinity of tense. The change of tense, Wholly unauthorised by - the original, is the apparent ground for the Rotnish doctrine. We now turn to the leSsuns, -and there we find the change of tense. " This cup is the New 'Testament which is about to he shed for you !" . The history of the connexion between this translation and a passage in Loid Stanley,s ,original letter to the Duke of Iseinster upon the subject of the new systent,is very interesting. His lordship wrote " The commissioners of education in 18/4-5, * * hoped to have been able to agree upon a Selection from the Scriptures, which Might have been generally acquisced in by both parties. But it was found impriscticable." • Thefact is that the change of tense in the pasitige now under Consideration, which was a point that the Roman Catholic pre lates would by no means forego, was a point which the present Primate and the late Archbishop of Dublin would by no insane allow. Agreement was found to ,be impracticable. Dr. Murray was too faithful to the Council of 'l'rent and Dr. Magee too faithful to the Holy Sctiptures to admit Of the posSilility , of legs eement. The present Archbishop of Dublin, hoWever, iihd his Protestant coadjutors at the board have come to an agree inent with Dr. Murray. They have agreed to admit the Bornish translation into books intended for national schools; and you, gentlemen, have s unwarilY I trust, agreed to: put the booki so translated into the hands of Protestant children. I have thus endeavoured to give a thief, and I deeply feel a very inadequate, view of the unfairness ofthe Irish lesson books. They contain a new translation, introducing needless and finis- Chievoue uncertainty as to what is scripture. They abound in notes of pritiate interpretation, thereby rejecting a, fu ndemeri tal principle of Protestautisth and adopting ihe invariable practice of the Romish church. They elevate into eqiial authority With our authorised version an utmethorised version made by men who wets at.the time notoriously active, zealous, and unscru purous partisans. And they inculcate, both by tratislatioU and notes, most objectionable Roman Catholic doctrines. Yet, in the face of all this, we are assured in the preface that "uothing is more remote flora the intention of the commission era than to offer then). (the lessonS) as a substitute fur the whole Bible; or to seek to supersede, Istsl ANY DEGREE, by Means of them, the authoriSed Version of the EstabliShed Church. It is certainly difficult to discern the harinony between this profesSion in the preface and the practice Which follows in the Winks. . It is poisibte, gentlentee, that some of yon May feel impatient under this discuSsion ; and I do, indeed, readily acknowledge that it is wholly unsuited to yetis habits and pursuits ; but excuse me, when I remind you that you have brought it upon your selves; and that it would be highly inconsiktent in any of yOn who have advocated so essential a change in the system of edu cation for the poor, to complain of, or shrink from, the inevitable consequences of your own proceedings. Remonstrance and opposition on our part were inevitable consequences. We sincerely grieve over the divisions and dis sentions which could not fail to result therefrom : but the interests of the truth of God occupy a higher place in Our estimation than even peace amongst men. If we were in uncertainty as to what is truth, we might then treat all opinions with indiscriminate complacency, and speak, or not speak, as seemed most expes dient. But we are not in uncertainty. Believing the Bible, we' Must speak as the .Bible; although such speaking always has been,:and 'must still be, the means of detecting (not producing) the latent enmity of man's natural mind 'against God's truth ; and thereby of occasioning division, according to the prediction of our Saviour, when he said suppose ye that 1 con come to give peace on earth ? I tell you nay, but rather division, 4 -c.—St. Luke, xii, 51-53. Notwithstanding this high Scriptural polition, which should eseeseust.itselr t:s all. and especially to all conscientious mare loess oi imule societies, Wu., War the clergy of the Established Church should persevere in their opposition to this new system ofeducation.ln your debate on the 23d of November, we are charged with shameful dereliction of duty iu not joining it : party zea l and religious bigotry are in sinuated as our actuating motives; we are described as your natural enemies; 'and one eloquent councillor stigmatised our opposition as the malignant howl of faction. The Sante - speakei described my 'first letter to you - as 'breathirig infamous persecu tion, and Charged me with hurling the thunderbolts of omnipotent vengeance. These- expressions are strangely characteristic of liberal gentlemen, who are soloud in the praises of charity and meekness,. and universal philanthropy. 'I do not quote for the purpose of retort, but - in justice to myself, to call attention to an instructive contrast. 1 have never used, or fancied, (and I hope I never shall,) any such expressions concerning any of you, as those which hatie been lavishly, and with much applause, heaped upon one in your Council. Ido not Coinplain: •I merely wish that our 'intelligent and unprejudiced townsmen may clearly perceive the true bearing and legitimate application of all future charges of uncharitableness of temper, and violence of language. I hope I may here, without offence, quote a passage from Mr. Blackburn's speech, with which I entirety agree. He said, "The noise the party made was 'no proof of their numbers, no proof of their strength ; on the contrary, violence and vehemence were - pretty plain indications of their want of power." I shall now, in conclusion, assign some of those reasons which randeritilnpossiblefor us to sanction this new system. First,'ashelievefs in the DIVINE COUmAND'to-bring up chil dren in the nurture and admonition of the Lord, we cannot sanction by our co-operation a system which does not ensure and enforce the reading of the Wotel of God. Secondly, we cannot sanction this system, because it provides for the effectual hindering of the children of our poor Roman Catholic fellow-countrymen, from the possibility of hearing the Word of God. Their own guides will not, and we, if we join this system, give a practical pledge that we will not, teach them the pure. Word of God. This, we cannot do. It is our duty as far as Beth in us to avail ourselves of all'practicable opportunities, to teach the Word of God to all men without distinction. If some Will not receive our instruction, this is not our fault, but we can never bind ourselves by any act of our own, to refrain from the Scriptural instruction of any. sanction Thirdly,:the system, as ministers of the Eitablished Church, we cannot which we are solemnly b r e l ' e c d a g e e s e d t i o t o d p i i r i e o c s t e ly n v c e u i l l c a a v t e e inculcates e d e o n ct a t s i k n e e i s i with all solemnity before God, and an assembled congregation, will you be ready, with all faithful,diligence, to bunish and drive away all erroneous and strange doctrines contrary lo God's wind ? And we have each answered i will, the L01(1 being my helper. We are not left in any do u b t as to some o f t h e d oc t r i nes in question. With equal solemnity we have signed our assent to the Articles of our Church, one of which says, " The Romisli doc trine concerning purgatoty, pardons, worshipping, and adoration, as well of images as of reliques, a s also invocation of saints, is a jiind'thing.vainly' invented, and grtitind e d Upon 7io warranty of Scripture's,•but rather repugnant' to the Wurd of God."-Article xxii. . 6 ,c• Y? to m inister the sacraments in a And another says, "It is a t t h h i e ng p ' rrimmtice eephaugrcnha,ntt(itohitihvee public rif e ofp:Gayoed;sainndthielocciuurs :ohm, tongue not understood' by the people.

Us to join in it, and so, by our co-eperatioa.give prac tical expression to our approbation of it ? How any clergyman can- do it, we cannot understand; but, for ourselves, we, have net so learned the English lauguage as to interpret a solemn pledge to give all diligence to-banish and drive away Roman Catholic doctrines, into a permission to join ourse lves to t h e working of such a system. Yon. have aimed at a system in which you designed ,to include all denominations ; but light and darkness cannot be Mended, and therefore, the accomp lish-. went of such a design is impracticable. The old system re quired what operated as an exclusion of Roman Catholics.—s The new system requires what operates as'an exclusion-id' Pros testants: In reference to the old system, you call the Roman Catholics conscientiouslyicrupulous. Iry refetente to the new system you call us factiously bigotted. The -truth is, however, that we are conscientionsly' scrupulous, although- your liberality; may not- be large- enough to believe us when we sayso..

St. Jude's, 13th Dec., 1836. TO THE REV. DOCTORS DICKINSON AND WILSON, DOMESTIC CHAPLAINS . TO fIIS GRACE THE ARCHBISHOP OF DUBLIN. _ Dublin, Dec. 5, 1836. ,Ray. -GENTLEMEN,—Some time having elapsed since the pub li •ation of toy letter to the Archbishop of Dublin, and not hay i it g received any auswer from either his Grace or Dr. Dickin s o n, i explanation of their unwarrantable attack upon my charac tar, I now consider it my imperative duty to reply to your let- WI. which first appeared in the Saunders's of the 28th of No vetnber • and though, gentlemen, great as has been my cause filr retaliation, still I trust that the same spirit which guided my On in my preceding letter, will influence my conduct in this, and that no feelings of a personal nature will cause me to de scend to acts unbecoming the character of a clergyman or un orthy of the name of a Christian. With regard to you, Mr. Dickiuson, notwithstanding the brevity of your letters, you have fallen into some palpable errors—errors, perhaps, of no bad in tention upon your.part, but which an im partial and discriminating public consider as of no trivial importance. In your first epistle Upon the late inhibition affair, you have asserted that you would make no further comment either " now or hereafter or, the sub ject ;" and yet, with this statement before the public,.and without my having given you the least provocation, you come forward with a second rejoinder to stamp upon my character one of your must unjustifiable accusations. In the saute letter you also asserted that you would publish the whole of the correspondence between the Archbishop and Archdeacon Magee, concerning the inhibition ; and yet, by some unaccountable circumstance, yfou omitted the principal letter on the occasion. In another of tour letters, you stated I called upon you to expoStulate as to his Grace having refused me leave to preach; whereas it was your self requested of me to call at your house at an appointed hour, that you might explain the Archbishop's reasons for having ex pressed to others his displeasure at my preaching . at Lucan. Again, in the same letter, you said when I was examined before the Archbishop, (which is now nearly three years ago, - .) that I *as fOund "miserably ignorant of the Scriptures," and conse quently then refused to preach ; whereas you told many clergy men,- whose names will be mentioned if required, that it was for a deficiency in Greek I was unputronised by his Grace. How are such contradictions to be reconciled,.Dr. Dickinson? With regard to I.lr. Wilson, I must say, that I never, in my recollec-. tints, saw that gentleman but once, about three weeks ago, at Dr. Dickinson's house; though, from the tenor of his and Dr. Dickinson's letter it would appear that Dr. Wilson was present at the only interview I ever had with the Archbishop of Dublin. Gentlemen, your joint letter says :,-.-- . . .. " We thinl it right, therefore, to undeceive the public by a simple statement of facts, which have come under our know ledge. The transaction alluded to is, in reality, totally uncon nected with anything relating to the Church of Rome, to its doctrines, or to its members, considered as such.—The Arch bishop proceeded exactly in the saute manner in which he, and it.is to be presumed every other Bishop would, in the case of an individual brought up either in the Protestant or Roman Catholic persuasion. Mr. Nolan having, some time ago, appea i edbefore the Archbishop, applying for some clerical appointment,. was found on examination nut to possess that knowledge which is required for a candidate for Holy Orders." From the perusal of this extract it. would appear. that Dr. Wilson was present during my interview with, the Archbishop ; whereas the contrary is the fact. How will Dr. Wilson apolo kise for this description ? As for the other part of the extract which says—" I was filtind; upon examination, not to pusses: that knowledge which is required in a candidate for lady orders," I must say these expressions are a great falling off from the un justifiable attack made by the Archbishop and Dr. Dickinson against use, as being miserably ignorant of the Scriptures; and all this for my not having understood the meaning of a Greek word!! ! In another part, gentlemen, of your joint letter, you I say : --"" In an interview with us lately, Mr. Nolan admitted that he was ignorant of the Scriptures at the period of the examination, and that the Archbishop had acted rightly in refusing him leave to preach. He added, that since that period he had acquired religious knowledge. Of this the Archbishop had no opportu nity of judging." Now, gentlemen, I will not call this a wilful suppression of the truth; but I must beg leave to rectify your mistake upon the subject. I admitted that I did not understand the meaning of the Greek word, at which the Archbishop exclaimed at my examination, Oh ! Mayuooth ! Maynooth !" But such an admission is different from what is generally maant by the ex pressions, " of a person being miserably ignorant of the Scrip tures, in my examination before the Archbishop, since he never proposed to me a question even as to a knowledge of the truth of. the Scriptures, nor as to any historical, allegorical, or any other defiutte passage in the word of God ? There is another point, gentlemen, upon which you seem to have misunderstood use, at my interview with both of you. You say that I also' admitted " that the Archbishop had acted rightly in refusing toe leave to preach." Such an Unqualified assertion as this, gentlemen, carries with it its own.refutation; for how could it be, supposed I admitted that.the Archbishop was right in .pro hibiting me from preaching, the very circumstance I most heartily condemn, and upon the injudiciousness of which I called (as Dr. Dickinson remarks) upon him to expostulate. What I.admitted to, you, gentlemen, was this—Lsaid that if the Archbishup examined me in the Scriptures, and found me deficient in them. he would then have acted rightly in refusing me leave to preach. With regard,to you, Dr. Wilson, I must say I would be sorry to speak disreputably of you; however, as an apology for your forgetfulness on the occasion alluded to becomes requisite, I consider it necessary to remark, that you have arrived at that period of time when the human intellect becomes obscured, and when a forgetfulness of facts and a want of strict distinction as to circumstances become necessary consequences of advanced life. The justice of my remark may be easily conceived from a recital of the following fact:—When I mentioned to you, Dr. Wilson, at our interview, that I heartily forgave the last recep tion I met with front the Archbishop, but that I could not forget it, you instantly and unceremoniously pronounced such conduct inconsistent; as much as to say, that a person could not forgive a thing without also forgetting it, or that forgiving and forget ting are the Caine! ! ! The circumstances of your beinjdomes, tic chaplain to the Archbishop, and your having lately received some distirwei4ea --I". qOacial savour trom his tirrace, cannot hear (I presume) upon the pre sent subject. With regard to the part of your letter which says . that the ArchbiShop had no opportunity of judging of the re knowledge I acquired," I cannot, conceive how you, Dr. Dickinson, would iecur to such in assertion, especially as your self was finced to adMit at coy interview with you and Wil son 1 acquired that religious 'knowledge; whilst his Grace must also have known the same_ circumstance Irons my writings, my sermons, and the many testimonials his Grace received from zealous and truly Christian clergymen. In another part of Vont. letter you assert that the Archbishop 'marked out for Mr. Nolan a course of study. Pray, what were the books, or what the course he marked out for ine ? Tbe Archbishop'salirections to me on 'the occasion were nothing more nor less than a cold and a peremptory command to study the Greek, which circum stance (without mentioning the others before adduced) suf ficiently demonstrates that it was for what his Grace considered a deficiency in the Greek, and not for "a miserable ignorance of the Scriptures," I was then discountenanced. Your letter concludes with what the world esteems an indirect and miserable apology to Dr. Murray and the Roinish priests, for having pro nout.ced a convert from their body as " miserably ignorant of the Scriptures." But now, Dr. Dickinson, I call upon you and ,the Archbishop to lay before the public the supposed scriptural examination for which you pronounced me as "miserably igno rant of the Scriptures." Can you mention any scriptural turical facts, any scriptural parables or allegories, or, in fine, any'scriptural passage you then preposed - to rite ? No, You can pot.: for you are well aware that it was a few quibbles upon Roniish,lnfallibility and a reference to 'a Gieek passage that constituted my examination, which occurred three years ago, and for which you now publicly upbraid me as being miserably deficient of the Scriptures. In conclusion, gentlemen, allow use to say that my case is no longer a private one. It has long since become . one ptiblici jii ris. The eyes of many are on it, And earnestly look to its tis sue. Though an humble individual, a dangerous blow has been aimed-1 will not say intentionally—and a grievous wound sought to be inflicted upon the holy cause of religion. Hun dreds of Roman Catholics who were wavering in their faith, and pursuing the road of religious inquiry, now halt in their course, and stand alarmed at your conduct. The dread of per secution from those whom they intended to leave on one hand, and the tear of similar treatment from those with whom they were about to unite on the other, must naturally torture the wa vering mind, and leave it in the most miserable state of tearful .suspense. Gentlemen, it is. time that personal feeliuog should yield to a sense of public utility; come forward, then, and en -deavour to make some reparation fin the injuries inflicted, .not so much upon me as an individual, as upon the cause of reli -gion. I should in charity hope that yours is not the perverie 'ambition to resemble those whoare the mere nominal professors , of the faith—who would embrace the gospel' with one hand. and stab its religion with the other; or who would endeavour to , persuade the world by their words, that they love the truth, whilst their actions aim at the extinction of its most vital prin ciples. Hoping, gentlemen, that the Lord may direct you in , vour intentions, I remain your much persecuted,-but still your huMble well-wisher in Christ, L. J. NOLAN. COMMERCIAL INTELLIGENCE.

M NC HESTER.—We are glacho state that there wasa decided improvement iu business at the market yesterday, in the demand both for goods and yarns; and on several descriptions of goods, particularly on shirtings, an advance of from 3d. to lid. per piece was very readily obtained. Indeed business generally was decidedly more brisk than is usual at this period of the year.— failure of some magnitude has been announced within a few days ; but ;tot being connected with the staple trade of the town, it has not produced flinch sensation.—Guardian. ROCHDALE FLANNEL MARKET, MONDAY, DEC. 12.—The Market has been rather dull, and the goods sold have been at Prices somewhat lower than those of the previous week. Wool has maintained its price to-day,. and, in some cases, a few shil lings per pack more, have been obtained. At this tune of the year the flannel business is generally dull, the winter orders being chiefly executed by the beginning of Dec. The last year was an exception, the trade being brisk through the whole of the winter. ,At present, though the stocks on hand are very light, many of the manufacturers are not giving out full work, " on account of the many countermanded orders z and the very prevalent expectation that wool will be lower in price. It will yet admit iif a considerable reduction, for pieces are selling for Seven, or eight shillings a couple less at the present time, than they were six or seven weeks since. The flannel business is greatly en the increase in this town. There are at present no fewer than three woollen factories building, two of which are dearly ready for machinery; tkese will Oecation au increased demand for labour though all hands are now pretty well em ployed. THE TURN-OUT OF SPINNERS AT OLDHAM.—There is no Change to notice ifi tlit turn-out at Oldham. The Men all con• tinnd Out, and no advances have been made towards and ac ccitntnilation of the differences existing between them and their employers. os SPINNERS AT PRESTON.—We are glad to learn, and we believe from good authority, that there is now some prospect of a speedy termination of this dispute; many of the woik-people having begun to regret that it ,had ever commenced; and We believe some negociations are now on foot between them and their employers. .THE IRoN TRADE.—At a meeting of the Welsh iron-mas ters, held at Newport on the 3d instant, it was determined to blow out twenty-one furnaces in South Wales, and otherwise to reduce the make one-fifth, from the 15th instant to the 31st March, 1837. The Scotch iron-masters came to a similar reso lution at their meeting on Wednesday week; so that including the twenty-nine furnaces already out of blast in Staffordshire and Shropshire, there will be no fewer than sixty furnaces ex tioguished, for three months certain, in the various parts of the kingdom . and a consequent reduction in the quantity of iron produced of about 450t1 tons per week. TIIE BIRMINGH 451 COLLIERS.—A temporary cessation in the working of the coal mines in this neighbourhood has taken place, in cotiseqnence of the opalmasters having found it neces sary to make a slight reduction in the rate Of wages. It Kill be recollected that a rise took plate a few months ago, and it is nut expected that the reduction will be resisted beyond a day or two. —Birmingham Advertiser. HERRING FfSiiEßY.—The result of the herriii fishery in Seotland for the summer of 1836 is now nearly ascertitined, and we regret to state that the take has been Much under an average eiie. It is one-third less than that of the last year. WHIG To LEit ATION.—The Rev. H. Maberly, curate of Bourn, has been disinisSed from his curacy by the BishOp of Ely. Mr. Maberly has been getting up petitions against the 'lei , / poor laws, Which appear to have given great offence to the ministets. Lord Jithn RuSsell *rote to the Bishop Of Ellr, deSiring that prelate to admonish Mr. Moberly for exciting agitation against a lacy Cot the land, which was accordingly Butte by the Bishop. Mr. Idaberly asserted his right to disapprove of a. measure that .tended to the injury of the poor and helpless, and to seek every legal and 'constitutithial ineana for its repeal, and continned tb hold meetings againit the poor laws. The result has been His dismissal from the ctirracy!‘—North Ifaleg Chronicle. LIVERPOOL PROVISION MARKET. DEC. 15.
