Temple, Monday Morning I TOLD you, some weeks ago, that the pompous reception of Kossuth would he the act of a class of people not at all likely to impress the world with the enormous extent of the English sympathy with that ex-Hungarian governor, ex-Austrian official, ex-editor, ex-barrister, and exile.

The performances at her Majesty's Theatre were brought to a close on Saturday evening, Mr. Lumley having, by his after season at playhouse prices, made a clear profit of £3OOO and upwards. I was told the other day that Mr. Gye repents of having been too precipitate in shutting up the ” Royal Italian Opera," Covent-gar den. Had it remained open as long as her Majesty's, there is no reason to doubt but that as many would have visited that theatre as its rival. The Haymarket closed also on Saturday, attn., as Mr. Webster informed his au dience, a most profitable season, " more than," to use his own words, "160,000 persons having paid to see the higher class of dramatic amusements within this building since the beginning of May last." The Princess's will close next week. The Adelphi will remain open for some time longer. Crowds being nightly attracted there to see Mr. Jonathan Silsbee, or, as he is also called, the trans atlantic Liston. In public affairs we need expect little stir till the arrival of Kossuth. THEATRE-ROYAL.—During the past week an opera company of some note have been playing at the Theatre- Royal with, we regret, only tolerable success. The house, no doubt from unpropitious weather, has been but thinly attended. THE POTATO CROP IN IRELAND.—The reports from the country for several days past respecting the potato crop dre much more favourable than those previously re. ceived. Tn many parts an opinion prevails that theblight has not extended to any tubers hitherto healthy, for two or three weeks. ABERAVON.—IIIGHWAY ROBBERY.—One of the most daring acts of highway robbery ever known in this neigh bourhood was perpetrated on Wednesday evening last. It appears that a Mr. Benjamin Griffiths, a bookseller, from Denbigh, North Wales, was on his return home from a book club, held at the school-room, Craig-y-Pab (Priest's Rock). when he was met by two ruffianly-looking fellows in the new road leading from the Margam tin works, one of whom struck Mr. Griffiths a violent blow under the right ear, which completely stunned him, and he fell. Whilst on the ground one cf the villains jumped upon his chest, covering his mouth with his hand, and the other rifled his pockets, and a purse containing £7 13s. 6d. was stolen. They then took to their heels to wards Taibach. Immediate information was given to Police-setjeant Wright; he was joined by Mr. J. Thomas, butcher, who must hive met the nien on his return from Taibach ; butafter two hours' search no clue could behadto them. To prove how daring the act was, suffice it to say the robbery was committed as early as ten o'clock on the evening of a fine moonlight, in a public road, and it appears within a hutdred yards of a person that was going in the same direction. Wright is still on the scent, and it is to be hoped the villains will soon be captured. They were dressed in smock frocks, with Jim Crow caps. One had light and the other black trousers, and to all appearances were navvies. Mr. Griffiths is a perfect stranger at Aberavon, and much sympathy is evinced on his behalf. AN EXECUTION UNDER SINGULAR CIRCUMSTANCES.— Some years ago a man was apprehended in Hampshire, charged with a capital offence (sheep stealing, I believe). After being examined before a justice of the peace, he was committed to the county gaol at Winchester for trial at the ensuing assizes. The evidence against the man was too strong to admit of any doubt of his guilt ; he was con sequently convicted, and sentence of death (rigidly enforced for this crime at the period alluded to) p ronounced. Months and years p asse d away, but no warrant for his execution arrived. In the interval a marked improve ment in the man's conduct and bearing became apparent. His natural abilities were good, his temper mild, and his general desire to please, attracted the attention and en gaged the confidence of the governor of the prison, who at length employed him as a domestic servant ; and such was his reliance on his integrity that he even employed him in executing commissions, not only in the city, but to places at a great distance from it. After a considerable lapse of time, however, the awful instrument, which had been inadvertently concealed among other papers, was discovered, and at once forwarded to the high sheriff, and by the proper authority to the unfortunate delinquent himself. My purpose is brief relation only; suffice it to say the unhappy man is stated under these affecting cir enmatanee. to have suffered the last penalty of the law.— No to and Queries. CHURCH OF ENGLAND ASSOCIATION. LECTURE BY THE REV. DR. CUMMING LAST NIGHT. The first lecture of the season of the Church tot Eng land Association was delivered last night, by the Rev. John Cumming, 13. D. in the Theatre Royal, William son-square. The magnificent theatre was crowded in every part, and never before was such a concourse of auditors gathered within the spacious building.— The stage was densely thronged with clergymen and ladies. The Rev. Fielding Ould occupied thechair. Amongst others on the stage we noticed—The Revds. William Pollock, J. B. Lowe, Rawson, W. H. Wright. S. Minton, H. Hampton, D. Anderson, Robinson, F. Parry, W. R. B. Arthur, Wm. Maynard, J. J. Butler, Wallace. J. Mariand ; R. Biekersteth, Esq., Wm. Nicoll, Esq., Chas. Bushell, E.q., Wm. Jones, Esq., Greene, Esq., C. Mulvany, Esq. In front of the Chairman's table, affixed to the crimson table cloth, was a placard, hearing the following Inscrip tion :—" Oueht Cardinal Wiseman to be expelled from Britain, and Papists to be kept under public surveillance and control," &c., &c. The Rev. J. J. Moss having offered up an appropriate prayer,— . The Rev. CHAIRMAN said, he need not express the great pleasure he felt in occupying the situation which he then filled. He was about to introduce to them the dis tinguished brother who, in the midst of so many engross ing topics to occupy his attention and engage his talents, had kindly undertaken to deliver the lecture of the even ing. This was not the first time that they had had the happiness of welcoming Dr. Cumming to Liverpool, and of enjoying the rare intellectual gratification of hearing an address from his lips. Some of them had the privilege of Dr. Cumming's personal acquaintance and friendship ; many had listened with delighted attention to his spirit stirring discourses delivered in London and elsewhere ; and all were familiar with his name and reputation, as eing one of the earliest, most persevering, and ssful of their great Protestant champions. (Loud He (Dr. Cumming) was one of the most i true-hearted men that I had raised up for the perilous times ifted. intrepid. eloquent 'ten I the providence of C ese latter d They had to be trusted with edifi from wlic classes ba his time large eno ose lips ,d learn :ously -honou ugh to arch of ave an passed over Et man to whom 1, and it was 3n ; a man from whom states lp.nng of dßilv wisrinrn skrtri Christendom ; she proclaimed this as the mother of the world. It was alleged that in all parts of the world, wher ever the influence of the high priest was, there was perfect unity. (Hear, hear.) This was a ;--to prove this the ehurch of Rome must show that the ehurch of the first century was precisely what the Romans believed in, and what the apostle Paul addressed his epistles to.—The rev. gentleman, at great length, illustrated, in a very pleasing and telling manner, that although there might be uniformity in a church, as in the Church of Rome, it did not follow, therefore, that there must be unity.—The Church of Rome next !aid claim to venerable age. Now, they (the Protestants) did not deny that she was an old church ; they only denied that she was the first church; and, there fore, on that ground, had no claim upon their acceptance. Another plea urged in favour of the Church of Romewas the many truths she retained. The first twelve articles of the Nicene Creed, were pure Christianity—the other twelve pure Romanism. The Church of Rome accepted the first twelve, and thus made truth a creature to a lie, and constituted herself the great mistress of iniquity. Many churchmen said that the Church of Rome forbade the Bible; if she did this she would not be the mistress of iniquity. She admitted the Bible, but then it was always in a tongue not to be understood by the people. The Church of Rome had power to license the Bible. Now, if she had power to license it, it implied that she had the power to prohibit it. And when the Church of Rome granted the Bible, mark how she hampered it. He would give five hundred pounds to any priestwho would produce what the Church held upon the Bth chapter of the Epistle to the Romans. Itwas giving to the people a basket full of bread, a fountain full of water,—but. then, it needed the aid of the Pope andaCardinal toenable the people to partake of them. (Cheers.) The Rev. Lecturer then proceeded to discuss that branch of his subject which related to what the Church of Rome was at present. It had been stated that the Church of Rome was the most moral and most pure in the world ; but to show them in what that morality and purity con sisted, he should tell them that Cardinal Wiseman had published the life of a saint called St. Liguori, and whose supposed virtues were so great that Romanists on the second day of each annual August devoutly called upon him for heavenly as well as earthly assistance. His life was worth reading. He would recommend it to every one. Its cost was only three pence. In this it was said the Monks ought to discipline themselves ; and what did they think was the discipline -- Alluded to—why, the Monks thousands of thousands of the lower thereflagellated themselves with the cat-o'-nine tails. This ed that knowledge which led to life esernal. Saint Liguori was one of those self-sacrificing saints who attached to the doctrine and discipline of in the exuberance of their zeal was determined to commit red church of Scotland, he had a heart suicide, and he was flogging himself so hard that it was embrace the faith of every church. Hence feared he would kill himself. In this attempt he was fropriately selected by the members of the prevented, and so great was his (Cardinal Wiseman's) ap- Ind Institution to deliver the first lecture preciation of this saint, that he wrote hie life. And he series. The Reverend Chairman then tells us that " The bread which this Saint Liguori eat was e of what Romanism at present was so hard that it had to be pounded in a mortar." On this the I.:st - q the Cardinal breaks forth and says in his life " What a ly Ca' ; saint he must be ?" If this man was a saint, well, then, tves, z what a black set the sinners of Rome must be. (Ap- Palace plause.) After reading a few extracts from the life of able t , Liguori, the Rev. Lecturer proceeded to state that on a r to lip former occasion in London, when he quoted extracts incens from the Psalter of Saint Bonaventura, their correct not lit ness had been denied, but he had since ions of been able to find that that which he then stated nor was quite correct, and to get the latest ill sow editions of this work. .In this work he takes all the most of Mc( beautiful and most sublime passages of our most ivilisef exquisite psalms, and apportions them to the Virgin -r of Ir Mary ; and that august, and, he always believed After magnificent, hymn of the Church, the Te Deum, ed Dr was also converted in this psalter of this saint semen into a horrible parody to the Virgin. He did not scour think that the Church of England had a monopoly of that beautiful hymn, but it was horrible to hear its first glorious opening passage thus perverted—" We praise thee, mother of all good ; all the angels praise thee, and we praise thee, oh, mother of God "; and further on, they found in this saintly Psalter—" From the torments of the damned, deliver us, good Mary." And then again there was the perversion of the Creed of St. Athanasius in the same author, and in which it was told them that " if they would be saved, they must have the right feeling and faith in the Virgin Mary"— and again the exclamation was made, " Save us from our enemies, oh, blessed Virgin." He hoped that the nation would he saved from this pitfall of horrible idolatry which he had noticed. He defied any one to point out that the works he had just quoted from were not the correct and genuine editions. All of them were in circulation at pre sent, and none of them bore more ancient date than 1844. The church which sanctioned such gross idolatry he had no hesitation in characterising as that of evil to all that was calculated to promote the welfare of God's people. His next charge against the Church of Rome was, that she was a persecuting church. She charged the Protestants with being a persecuting church. He admitted the charge. He admitted that Protestants had persecuted. His wonder was, that they had got rid of persecutions—got rid of that spirit of per secution which they had imbibed from Rome at so early a stage in their glorious reformation. He did not say that the reformers were perfect. They were passionate men, but they had much to contend with, and after all they were only God's servants car rying out God's work. They regretted that their fathers should have done so ; but they felt that now the Church of Rome was only too willing (if she had the power.) to light up another Smithfield, and to perpetrate another St. Bartholomew. He held in his hand a medal, which was illustrative of the intolerant spirit of Romanism—it was a medal for which he had given a guinea, and was of a recent date, from the mint of the Vatican, and was in commemoration of the slaughter of St. Bartholomew. He could tell them the Church of Rome persecuted still. If they knew the whole of the oaths and forms prescribed to the bishops and archbishops of that church, they would have no hesitation in believing that. When the archbishop received from the Pope the pa lium of office, he took an oath to the effect that all rebels against the head of the Church and against the light of the Holy Father should be persecuted by him to the utmost of his power. This statement had been denied by Dr. Doyle, who stated in his sermon that there was no such clause in the oath, which was, according to him, " all heresy and schism I will oppose to the best of my power." He had, however, looked for this clause, said to be in existence by Dr. Doyle, and he could not find such a one. In reference to the persecution of Rome, Dr. Doyle had stated that the friar Alphose De Castro had re primanded Queen Mary for her cruelties against the Pro testants of that age. This he found, however, to be as great a fallacy as the rest, as he would show them in a little. In delivering a subsequent lecture, but he (Dr. C.) was going to prove the existence of this oath, when he got a note from bis Eminence the Cardinal, stating that the oath in question had reference merely to those who were not subjects of the British crown. To this note he (the rev, lecturer) answered by stating to his Emi nence that he would call upon him on a certain day. and :that he would be accompanied by Sir John Maxwell and another friend, and that he would then require to see three things. First, the original of the re scripts to the Roman clergy of England, secondly, a copy of the books in which all their oaths were published, and thirdly, his pontifical, or the document under which he obtained all his powers. To this he received no reply, but upon the day fixed he went to the mansion of his Eminence, in St. George's-square, where he was received by a handsome page, who told him his Eminence was not at home. He then inquired if any orders had been left for the gentieman who had writtenito his Emi nence on the subject referred to, and he was shewn in to bis secretary, who, after the usual amount of explanation, sheaved him and his friends the Episcopal Pontifical, in which he found the oath taken by the Archbishop written in a very neat hand in the front of the book, and in very new ink, but without the clause in it to whiali he had before referred. He looked further on, however, and he found the oath again, written, but across the obnoxious passage in the oath there was drawn a line of the finest black ink cancelling that part of it. He (Dr. Cumming) asked the secretary if he had any initials or other autho rity to show him that this erasure was authorised, or that it was correct ? To this the secretary replied, "No authority, sir ; can't tell you anything." But he (Dr. C.) was not contented with this, for he went further on through the book, and there he found in the oath for the archiepiscopal bishop, the identical one which he had before quoted, without the slightest erasure; and besides, he could not help from telling the secretary who informed him, in answer to his inqui ries, that the alteration before noticed had been made at least thirty years ago, that the ink looked like Mor rell's, not invented for more than five years. (Applause.) The secretary informed him that he had no authority, and could give him no information. Dr. Doyle had informed them that De Castro was the enemy of persecu tion, and he read from a volume of his works in support of the position which be advanced ; but in another work by the same author, which he (Dr. Cumming) bad found, this De Castro had propounded the most awful doc trines. In this work he states that the way to treat the enemies of the Church and heretics for their contumacy, is to confiscate their property ; and further, " If the King becomes a heretic, he loses his throne ipse jure ; and if the heir of his throne should follow in the same course, he also was to be set aside; and if the people became affected by heretical doctrines, then the appointment to the throne falls into the hands of the Roman Pon tiff." And another sample of the same saint and father was to be found in his exhortations, where he said, " That it was lawful and righteous to put heretics to death, but as to the manner of putting them to death it did not mat ter. In some places they were cast into the rivers, and in others they were cast into boiling oil ; and it was the prac tice of all Christians to put heretics to death by fire." Such were the evidences of the persecuting spirit of the Church of Rome, He would next take a few specimens of the morality preached by this Saint Liguori, whom Cardinal Wiseman had held up to their admiration. "It is lawful," says he, " to conceal the truth by words of an ambiguous and doubtful sense ; and it is lawful to use equivo cation, and to confirm that equivoc4tion on oath if needs be." This was , the moralit'eof the Saint of Cardinal Wiseman. He says in another part of his work, "If a murder be revealed in the confessional the priest is not to divulge it. because he hears it under the seal of the confessional." And again ; if a servant be requested to say that her or his master is not at home, she or he is enjoined to say so in the true Popish) style. " If a man calls and says ' Is your master in ?' you may say ' No, he is not here,'--because he is not . on the spot where you are then standing." .Ikm , ' , " a Catholic should et any time promise marriage to with crin Men- , gloves and stock- .es, from Glf, quare to Lambeth Palace—(laughter and cheers)—Romanism was not yet able to sing high mass in the Abbey of Westminster, or to light with her countless candles, or perfume with her incense, the clois ters of St. Paul's. Romanism was not likely long to maintain her grasp of the enslaved millions of cur fellow- Irish subjects, nor were Dr. Cullen nor Dr. M'Hale unlikely to he sent as useless lumber to fill some vacant cor ner in the Vatican. Romanism was not likely to be ena bled to cru4b, with iron hoof, the civilised liberties of Englishmen, or to degrade the character of Irishmen in the civilised nations of the world (cheers.) After some further remarks, the rev. chairman introduced Dr. Cumming to the audience. who was received with tremendous plaudits. The Rev. LECTURER (of whose discourse the follow ing is but an outline) said he appeared before his testant friends, not for a moment supposing he could eive a view of Romanism ' with which they were not already in some degree familiar, inasmuch as they had heard the subject explained from their pulpits and gical system, to that to which the), had already listened; but some leading incidents seemed, like unexpected tapers, to cast their light upon the subject, and ti..ese might not oe useless to teach the lessons which they seemed so do. quently to enforce. (Hear, bear.) He did not propose to give an eloquent speech : Liverpool was not the place . . . - for that, nor was the present the spot, surrounded by gifted ministers, to do so. But having become practically ac quainted with the errors of Romanism , he thought he might be enabled to throw out some thoughts which might not explain - his lecture—" Romanism as it is,"—describe it by epithets. First, let him state what, to many, might seem an unexrcted announcement. He regarded it altogether as a supernatural and infernatural sys tem. Tts doctrines were sown by no human hand,—it was too evil to be from above, and too successful to be from man; it was the wisdom of the Archangel, and com bined the depravity of the Archangel fallen. (Hear, hear.) He regretted that it was the church of Satan—his master. piece as the great enemy of mankind. The rev. lecturer here related an anecdote, to the effect that one day whilst sitting in his study, preparing his sermons, a servant entered and said a strange gentleman was at the door, who wished to speak with him. As he (Dr. Cumming) was one of the governors of the Scotch hospital at the time, he thought the individual in waiting might have !called upon him to solicit him to sign a petition. He (the rev. doctor) showed him into the study. The stranger walked in, having shoes with only soles on, sandles round his feet, and a sort of cape over his shoulders, with a slouching hat. He (Dr. Cum ming) said, " I believe I have the honour of seeing the Reverend and Honourable Mr. Spencer ?" " Father Ignatius, if you please," said the personage addressed. (Laughter.) He (the Rev. Mr. Spencer) said he had waited upon Dr. Hook, Lord John Russell,--who bad devoted a quarter of an hour of his valuable time in audience with him,—and the Bishop of London. He (Dr. Cumming) said he was most happy to see him, and the rev. gentleman sat down, and wished that a prayer should be offered up for unity in the Church, for this, he alleged, was the great thirst and want. of the age. He (Father Ignatius) wished him to read a printed paper which he placed in his hand; and his (Dr. Cumming's) reply was, "My dear sir, I am adver tised to give a lecture in Exeter-hell, the subject of which is, The Pope the Man of Sin.' Now, if this be so—if you believe that the Pope is the man of Christ, how can you and I agree on this ?" He (the Rev. Mr. Spencer) said, if they prayed for perfect unity it must be obtained—but, at the same time, let out the tact that it could only be obtained by every one becoming members of the Church of Rome. (Laughter and cheers.) In the course of the conversation he (Dr. Cumming) remarked that the intense devotedness of the Church of Rome led him to think that it was something more than human ; to which Father Ignatius replied, " If it be not the Church of Heaven. it is the masterpiece of the devil." Now, the great Protestant danger was, it, looked upon the Church of Rome as a gross and vulgar imposture of the nineteenth century, instead of esteeming it the gigan tic conspiracy of Satan. Let them despise the Roman Catholic religion, and it would progress and gain strength ; let them resist it, in the name of God, and, like its author, the devil, it would flee from them. It was the master. piece of Satan beyond all dispute.—The reverend lec turer stated, in the course of relating the anecdote given above, that he had invited the reverend father to meet and argue with him in Exeter-hall, and that the invitation had been accepted, but that he (Father Igna tius) had said he would not listen to the lecture, or join in religious exercise, as it was inconsistent to join with those in worship whom they believed to be in heresy. Fatherlgnatius came subsequently, and said, " I hope you have not divulged my intended appearance at Exeter- Hall. I breakfasted with his eminence the Archbishop of Westminster, and he inhibited me from going." (Laughter and cheers.) He (Dr. Cumming) replied " Why, surely, you do not mean to put your judgment in his keeping ?" Father Ignatius replied, " We never a3t as individuals — we act in concert." Thus it was !observed Dr. Cumming) that the whole Catholic system was carried out on a plan to render it apparently supernatural. He (Dr. Cumming) observed to the Rev. Mr. Spencer, "Of course the cardinal gave some reason for inhibiting the discussion ?" " Yes," replied the father, "he said he did not think such discussions did any good to the Catholic faith; and, secondly, his eminence has a great objection to Exeter Hall." He (Dr. C.) proposed to appoint any other place for the meeting, but the rev. father said, " His eminence has inhibited me," and retired. (Laughter, and cheers.) He (Dr. Cumming) did not think that the Roman Catholic religion would be destroyed in this dispensation. He had no hope of a reform in the Church of Rome : it stood not like the Greek Church, which might be conformed to scripture. The Church of Rowewas a gigantic corporation,—a priestly organisation, sitting in the temple of God, showing itself as God.; assuming the powers and prerogatives of Deity it. self. Notwithstanding, however, that he regarded it in this light, he still believed that God had a people in the Church of Rome. Itwas with this knowledge that theyweredesirous to call the heritage to partake not of their sins. * * * If Romanism looked what it really was, men would hate it, and flee from it; but, inasmuch as it did not appear what it was, it gained ground and made way among mankind. The Church of Rome aimed to secure the services of science, and calculated that all the rest would follow. It had seized and subordinated to itself all the fine arts in their highest perfection and splendour. The Cistine Chapel, and the dome of St. Peter's, were radient with the magnificent cr. ations of a Raphael and Michael An gelo. The Flemish churches had in them all the master. pieces of Rubens ; and many of the Spanish and Portuguese churches, the chefs - d'oeuvres of Murillo. Moreover, these painters had lavished their splendid powers, not on Christianity, but on Ro manism. The gems of Raphael, for instance, were Ma donnas; Titian's master-piece was a virgin and child ; and Guido's great work was the Madonna della Pieta. Mozart and Haydn had lent their magnificent music to the grand Romish masses ; and to many minds this splendid outside was the evidence that all was pure within, because all was beautiful without (cheers.) — Another great pretence of the Romish Church was its presumption to working miracles. He did not think it im possible that the Roman Catholic Church could do super natural works ; and for this there was Scripture warrant : " There will come in these latter days such works as to deceive the very elect." If Satan was able to impart superhuman thoughts to man's mind, why not the fallen archangel do these things to deceive men's per ceptions ? (The rev. lecturer then read extracts from Dr. Newman, to show that he was a believer in, and promul tor of, miracles.) Now, what the Protestants complained was, not. ff.- - •tf--- but .ne peculiarity o. performance, the want of evidence upon which that performance de pended.—Another pretence of the Church of Rome was her perfect unity ; and in this there was very great force and truth. She pointed to the grt at central Cathedra! of Protestant girl he is not I;ound to 'perform that promise if he go into a convent," whether he turn black friar or gray. And again, if a Catholic was invited to dine with a friend, and - " if the dinner he had, you can !say it is try good, saying within v(turs'elvea that it is for tuortiticatmn sake." The Rev. lecturer then went on to give several in stances of a similar Jesuitical departure from, or evasion of, truth and morality which is practised in the Roman Church, and which are inculcated by her doctrines, and then proceeded to give a graphic and somewhat !mush!" description of the modus operatzdi obse - rved in the instal ment of popes and cardinals, after which he spoke of it as a system which, although it was of anti christ, was one of great power, and which had in a great degree enslaved the human mind. It was devised to captivate the mind of the unwary, and it had its pageant or attraction for the fancy of each of its votaries. On the one hand were its oratories and its pro cessions, its cathedrais and its pomp and splendid ser vices—on the other were its missions and its fastings. On the one hand was all the pomp of Cardinal Wiseman, and on the other was its lowly poverty and mendicancy. On the one hand was purple and fine linen, and on the other they found Father Ignatius and the Passionists. One was awed into obadieace, and another was charmed by the views which the system opened for his ambition, whilst for the ascetic it had its cells and cloisters. Its power was immense. In Ireland it defied the law, and trampled on the authority of the Sovereign, in order to obey the Bull of the Pope. In England it evaded the law ;in Scotland it merely crept along, and endeavoured to make converts; in America it was republican, and in France it was anything which would tend to support the presidency. In all these places the system bends itself to the circumstances of the condition in which it is placed ; and in all this it will be seen that it is calcu lated to make great progress; and if he (Dr. C.) were not a Christian and a Protestant by the grace of God, he would be inclined to become a Romanist, such was the complete organization of her anti-Christian system. The rev. lecturer then concluded a lengthened discourse, by exhorting the assembled multitude to hold fast by the faith of their fathers, and not to be led astray frOm the abiding spirit of Protestantism, which should be in them. They had now arrived at the time when mere nominal Protestantism would not be sufficient. They must take a lesson from their forefathers, arid make an effort for the recovery of the ground which they had lost. He firmly believed that all this tribulation which had befallen the church was attributable to the fact that they had tole rated the support of the College of Maynooth. He was not a politician himself, but he had registered his vote this year, and he would vot9 for no man who would not remove this stain from their national character. At the conclusion of his lecture, the Rev. Dr. Cumming was loudly applauded. EXHIBITION OF THE LIVERPOOL AC.EIDEMY.—(Third Notice.) No. 13, " A View of Dumbarton," by Mr, Coilingwood, is father a mediocre production ; the subject is not at tractive or picturesque, and the colouring Wants softness. No. 14, " Eve Tempted," a small picture by Mr. J. G. Naish, is a very clever little piece. The drawing is excellent, if we except the position of the right hand, which throws an objectionable shade on the bust. The unobtrusive manner in which the serpent is introduced is admirable, and the whole tone of colouring is excellent. No. 15, " Study of a Group of Ducks," by Mr. W. Huggins. This appears to us rather a study of some old picture of the same subject, than a study of nature ; and if so, we would advise the artist to choose rather the style of Landseer than Weenix : the modern school of animal painters are certainly improving mach upon the old mas ters. notwithstanding their excellence. No. 16. " Evening on the Coast near Scarborough," by Mr. W. P. George: another small picture possessing considerable merit; the light is admirably managed, and the subject well chosen. No. 17, " Snowdon, from Capel Cu. ig," by Mr. J. W. Carmichael : rather an indifferent picture. No. 18, " The Fisherman's Daughter," by Mr. F. J. Wyburd. This is a pleasing sketch, representing a cottage scene on the coast. The fisherman's daughter at her spin ning -wheel is prettily done, but the appearance of deep thoughtfulness upon her face is not explained ; had she represented the fisherman's wife, we could have accoun t e d for it. Mr. Wyburd will d o well to follow this style, for which he evidently possesses both taste and talent. No. 19, " The Last Light of Day," by Mr. A. Mon tague : a clever little study of atmospheric effects, repre senting the last rays of the sun sinking in the horizon, and retreating before the spreading veil of night. The picture is quite Martinesque, and is well managed. No. 20. " A Peasant Girl," by Mr. W. Davis. A very unfinished picture, but by no means devoid of talent ; in deed the face of the figure is a very pleasing effort of the artist. No. 21, "The Vale of Bedgellert. North Wales," by Mr. A. Vickers. A beautiful bit of landscape, nicely managed ; a warmer tone of colouring would, however, have been an improvement. No. 22, "Broadstairs, Kent; Low Water." By Mr. J. Dugardin. Quite a choice morceau. This picture is Turneresque in character, without exceeding the natural ; the subject is tastefully chosen, and managed in a mas terly manner. No. 23, " Minna Troil." By Mr. T. M. Joy. A large portrait of the heroine of The Pirate. The painter has not caught the conception of the writer. Minna Troil of the picture is evidently a nice, quiet daughter of Scotia, on a summer's visit to a fashionable watering-place : she is not the high-souled islander of Sir Walter Scott. The picture has much merit as a painting, but does not convey the idea intended. No. 24, " A Daughter of Erin." By Mr. Chas. Dukes. A very clever little picture, representing one of those pretty Hibernian faces which so frequently appear in the lower ranks. The colouring of the face will not bear very close inspection; it is rather too coarse. TO THE EDITOR OF THE LIVERPOOL STANDARD. I No. 25, " The Young Sailor."

Lord Palmerston's system of " progressive improvement" means progressive revolution and expatriation of the best Z O O L 0 G I C A L GARDENS snbjects, with the ultimate ascendancy of a domineering mob over an educated, loyal, and peaceful people—the true secret of Whiggery of the present day being to pander to the mob, and (under its shelter) to threaten revolution if fustrated in carrying out those anti-national measures which, in order to maintain office, they are forced to do. " The state vessel" is as yet '• sound," thanks be, not to the Whigs, but to the people, who were never more loyal or peaceably inclined, but who will sink together with the ship if left under the guidance of steersmen so deluded, short-sighted, and false. " Our domestic difficulties," his lordship says, have passed away • apparently they have dis a pp eare d b e f ore concessions unlawfully granted at the risk of the stability of the Throne ; but Lord Palmer ston's " prophetic eye" cannot discern the vast volcano of Socialism fostered instead of checked by Whig policy at home and abroad, ready to burst forth from one end of Europe to the other, when Protestant England may have been sufficiently humiliated by their policy to offer little or no resistance to foreign aggression. If the "order" which Lord Palmerston speaks of at the Exhibition is at tributable to Whig concessions, it is dearly bought, and will be of short duration. Is it. may we ask, owing to Romanist concessions—to the deprivation of the Navigation Laws—to the Post Office Sabbath Desecration Act ?—to thepersecution of Protestants at home, and indemnification of rebels abroad ?—or to Free Trade, which is ridding the United Kingdom annually of as many thousands of the most loyal subjects, as it is clearing the country of tens of thousands of pounds sterling ? No, thin order is the offspring of true English loyalty and patriotism, which has been held so dear by her people as to restrain them in pa- I tience under the tyranny of Whig misrule; the offspring of England's Bible, which is the " secret of the little stick' in the hands of the policemen" (spoken of by Lord Palmerston); this it is that sways our multitudes, and renders them contented, where the sword would engender strife. His lordship also echoes the cry of Protection being impossible, but, as usual, gives no further reason than a hint that the mob won't have it. What argument is this but that of the " big bully at school," who accompanies his injustice with a threat or a blow ? Is this to be England's future system of legislation ? is this to be the logic that is to guide her statesmen ? Is she to be ruled by men who, in order to keep office, are at the bidding of the mob which her army is called forth to check and control ? if the Whigs would really maintain order, let them leave off fulsome speeches which end in smoke, and have recourse to action-Ist, by prosecuting the usurping bishops; and 2d, by relieving the distress of her Majesty's faithful agri cultural classes. Alas !we fear the burden is too great; the former duty would deprive them of the support of the Papists and Infidels, the latter of the Free-traders and Chartists.—Your obedient servant, W. H.

LORD PALMERSTON AT TIVERTON DEFINITION OF PITRGATORY BY A MODERN ITALIAN PRIEST.—" Purgatory is the fire that makes our pot boil." NOTICE TO THE PUBLIC. NOTION OF A JUDGE'S DUTY.—A writer in the Daily Wisconsin says When I first came to Wisconsin I chanced to meet an enemy of Judge Hubbell ; and being a stranger, and no doubt a little inquisitive, I asked him what were the grounds of his dislike to the judge. ' Why,' said he, ' I helped to elect him, and the very first suit I had in court he refused to charge the jury in my favour.' This reply astounded me. It was a clincher,' sure enough, and suggested a l ong t ra i n o f reco ll ec ti ons on th e policy and expediency of an elective judiciary." PLEASURES OF A RESIDENCE IN AN AMERICAN HOTEL. —While staying at this hotel I asked the landlady to allow one of her domestics to clean my boots ; she answered, in the most civil manner, that the gentleman who generally fixed there was not at present in the house, but added, " I guess that you'll find the fixings in the cupboards, and no one will hinder you from doing it yourself." There was not anything like rudeness in her manner; in deed, she was invariably attentive. I merely mention this as a trait of the national equality preserved in this free and independent soil ; and it is needless to add, that, without scruple, I at once followed the injunctions she gave me.— Conyngharne's Western Republic. THE FLA GELLANTES—A SINGULAR SECT.—The " Fla gellantes," or self-whippers, were a sect of great notoriety in the middle ages; but my readers may be surprised to learn that the system is still pursued in Rome, and that there are, even in this nineteenth century, persons who imagine they can atone for their sins by the laceration of their bodies, while the great head of the Roman Catholic Church provides them with ample accommodation for the purpose. Being resolved to satisfy my curiosity on this singular subject, by being present at the ceremony,•l went one evening, along with several friends, to the Church of the Caravita, where it is performed on the Tuesdays and Thursdays of Lent. The service commenced about an hour after sunset. The Church is spacious, and the num ber of men present was, as nearly as we could judge, about five hundred. There were only six or eight small candles, so that from the first we could only see indistinctly. During prayers, two or three attendants entered, each having an iron hoop, on which were suspended about a hundred leather thongs which were distributed among the congregation ; but some had brought their own whips along with them. We examined the thongs, and found them exactly like good small English dog-whips, hard and well-knotted towards the point, but we did not succeed in obtaining one. After prayers we had a sermon of some length, on the advantages of punishing the body for the good of the soul, and especially that sort of penance which is inflicted by means of whips. During the sermon the lights were extinguished one after another, and the con cluding part of it was delivered in total darkness. After the sermon was concluded a hell rang, and there was a slight bustle and hustling, as if those present were re moving part of their dress ; a second bell rang, and the flagellation commenced. It lasted fully a quarter of an hour; hundreds were certainly flogging something; but whether their own bare backs, or the pavement of the church, we could not tell. To judge from the sounds, some used the whips, and others their hands; but the darkness was so total we could see nothing ; and besides, having some little fear for our own persons, we had got into a snug corner where we thought no thongs could reach us. The groaning and crying were horrible, hut the scene was altogether so perfectly ludicrous that there was much diffi cu l t y to repress an inclination to laugh. When the flagellation ceased prayers were read, during which the penitents put on their clothes and composed their cot!n tt:naips. Lights were brought in, and the congregation dismissed with the usual benediction.—Facts from Rome. CURIOSITY.— Looking over other people's affairs and overlooking our own. Atileo bp satirtion.
