SEROUS APOPLEXY.—An inquest was on Saturday before the deputy borough coroner, Mr. Statham, on view of the body of Maria Crenall, wife of a - kilor, who resided at No. 8 court, Renshaw-street. De sed had latterly been addicted to drinking spirits, and found dead in bed on Saturday morning. A bottle %ling a small quantity of laudanum was found in the , d it appeared she had occasionally taken quan that drug. From a post-mortem examination, it that death was the cause of serous apoplexy, the of drink and a narcotic carelessly taken. Verdict " Natural causes."

Several persons uthshire were present on the occasion, and ardent wishes being expressed for the health and happi ness of the bride and bride-groom, with prosperity to the _ _ " old works at home."—Hercford Journal. AWFULLY SUDDEN DEATH.—Mr. William Evans, builder, of Ince Blundell, late of the firm of Washington and Evans, expired on Friday under circumstances truly lye o'clock he walked into the Misses in Dale-street, and seated himself in urant, lln ; at the same time he called for some re freshment, which he wished to be brought in without de lay, as he bad taken a ticket at the office on the opposite side of the street for one of the omnibuses then about to start. A young person in the establishment brought the refreshment, but just as Mr. Evans was about to partake of it, he fell from his chair, and in another moment was acm pse. Ile was in a state of intoxication when he en tered the house. LITHOGRAPHIC PORTRAIT OF THE LATE LORD GEO. BENTINCK.—An excellent lithographic print of this la mented nobleman has just been published by Mr. Geo.. E. Jones, lithographer, Lord-street. It is taken from a re cent and very spirited sketch, and conveys both the per son and the expression of the noble original—the manly and aristocratic bearing and the intellectual character of features, on the latter of which is impressed more of thoughtfulness than those who have only been in the habit of seeing him amidst the excitement of his once favourite pursuits will recognise as belonging to him, but which is in strict keeping with his recent arduous and wearing labours in the cause of his country, This sketch ought to be in the hands of every constitutionalist. STEAM NAVIGATION BETWEEN LIVERPOOL AND NEW Yonx.—We undeastand that a party in' America are com mencing with great spirit the organisation of a steam navigation company, in opposition to Cunard's splendid line of steamers. A Mr. E. K. Collins, of New York, is the party who.bas commenced the movement, the arrange ments of which are on a grand scale—a regular go-a-head The proposed new steamers are to . be 285 ft. long, 46 ft. broad, 300 tons burden, and with engines of aboUt the same as the Great Britain. The contractor znarantees greater power and elegance in proportion to- size and weight than has ever been attained ; each vessel is estima ted to cost $500,000, including half that sum for machi nery ; already about 2 . 2,500,000 are said to be subscribed, and two of these gig:antic vessels are expected to be ready by the autumn of 1849. DEATH FROM ACCIDENT.—On Saturday an inquest was held on view of the body of Robert McQueen, aged 22, who had been employed some time at Mr. Jacks's boiler- works, in Dublin-street. On Saturday week deceased and two other men were opening a large wooden gate, on rollers, belonging to the premises, and from which the guide above had previously been taken to allow the pas- . _ sage through of some large boilers. Deceased fasten - ed a rope round a large fly which was against the yard wall, to guy. The gate dii./ not keep its per- id as it fell outward into the strecf, it milled over the wheel (which weighed 18 cwt)upon the deceasedy who was so much hurt that he died on Thursday at the Northern Hospital.—Verdict, "accidental death, with a recommendation from the jury that the gate should be better secured in future. BOOTLE NATTONAL SCHOOLS.—We are much gratified to learn that the Earl of Derby, with his accustomed libe rality, has recently contributed to the enlargement of these schools. The noble Earl, in addition to a grant of land for the purpose, has been a donor of the handsome sum of £5O. Encouraged by this munificent gift, the inhabitants of Bootle have collected among themselves a sufficient sum to complete the work begun under such auipices •,. and now, in addition to the previously existing Boys and Girls' School, there is a spacious and commo dious Infant School, opened for the growing - requirements of the neighbourhood. We congratulate the trustees of these schools, and especially their active and well-known treasurer, on the consummation of their laudable efforts for the welfare of the children of the poor, and the gene ral benefit of the district. Seeing the zealous and unti ring labours of their pastor; the congregation of Bootle Church are always ready to do good, and to distribute. " Verily, they will not lose their reward." HANDSOME TESTIMONFAL.—In the exhibition of the Liverpool, Academy, there is a fine full-length portrait, by Midge, of our respected townsman Mr. Braithwaite Poole, which was- pesented to that gentleman as a testimonial of the esteem in which he is held by the officers of the London and North Western , Railway, with which he is immediately connected. The sum paid to Mr. Illidge for this work was 300 guineas. Mr. Poole is also about to receive ano,ther valuable gift as a token of the estimation in which his services to railways are held. In the shop window of Mr. Doke, of Lord-street, may be seen a handsome service of plate, consisting of a tea service, a coffee service, and a salver. The value of the whole is two hundred guineas. The salver bears the following in scription :!--" Presented, with a tea and coffee service, to Braithwaite Poole, Esq., by the members of the Railway Managers Goods Conference, as testimony of the great in which he is held by them, and as an acknow ledgment of his valuable services as originator, and for some time honorary secretary of these useful meetings. Manchester, August, 1843. INCREASED CUSTOMS RECEIPT AT LIVERPOOL.— .bout one-third of the aggregate improvement in the ustoms Revenue in the three kingdoms emanates from iiverpool alone ! There is an IncreaBe here of £148,065 the quarter just ended, over the corresponding quarter f last year ; of which increase we believe about £30,000 arises from the existing Corn Duties—which were not in force last year. We understand that there has been a off in Spirits, Wine, and Tobacco, and which would Dre marked in the aggregate, were it not that £116,000 has been received within the last ter on Sugar. The respective Quarters stand thus : Quarter ending 10th October, 1848, X 1,010,04 Ditto ditto, 1847. 871,629 Taking the three quarters of these two years, there is also a very considerable Increase, amounting to-.£131,311, viz., The three quarters ending loth Oct., 1858,.2,629,234 D.tto ditto, 1847 '2,497,923 The fiscal improvement is greater locally than nationally. The last quarter's receipt here is at the rate of Four Mil lions sterling per annum—which is almost as high as ever it reached even when the duties were higher and there vere much fewer "free" imports. LIVERPOOL INDUSTRIAL RAGGED. SCIIOOLS.—It has mined to establish Industrialßagged Schools in this town, in addition to the ordinary ragged schools now in existence, provided £5OO can be raised for that purpose. Exclusive of the first outlay in.fitting up a suitable build - the expense of each child is estimated to be from £5 Now, as it appears, by the return ob - of the Borough Gaol, that there --‘ luvenile criminals. con to £7 per annual tainedfrom t community wring the year, at a ec f about £l5 10s. per head, the very economy. ;t to thi .rial Ragged Schools; independent of ail higher ,lotive., is worthy of serious consideration. In the pro posed schools, the children will be provided with an allow ance of wholesome food of the plainest description. Cleanly and industrious habits will be inculcated, and they will be instructed in some means of earning an ho nest livelihood, in addition to the usual simple rudiments of learning. The religious instruction will be given from the Bible in the authorised vers'ion; A provisional com mittee has been established, for the purpose of carrying out the object. Mr. T. D. Anderson, of India-buildings, is the treasurer. and Mr. J. Ilubback, the secretary. The Mayor is one of the committee. WILDE-STREET FREE SCHOOL—The committee have 1 their report for the past and present year, and it have been very successful in prosecuting the purposes confided to them by the members of the Mental Improvement Society. The school was opened on the 22nd November last, to afford " instruction in reading, writing, and arithmetic, to poor lads, on the evenings of four days of the week. Besides this, occasional lessons were given. rho attendance of pupils has been large, the average being from 40 to 50 each night. In June it was necessary to close the school for a few weeks, and was re opened on the 18th September. The following passage is quoted from the report :—" They were engaged during the day in some industrial occupation ; some were in the 'w est depths of poverty, others orphans, and two or three Ni f esse dly procured a livelihood by street begging—their appears they ages ranged . frorn 10 to 20 years. Generally speak►ng they were at the commencement very ignorant and very disor derly; so much in fact was the latter the case, that for the first few nights it was found necessary to have a po lice-officer present ; but under the judicious management of the excellent paid teacher (Mr. Arnold) and his volun tary assistants, (several friends having regularly attended and aided him,) great improvement was speedily visible, and ere the closing of the school many of the pupils had made remarkable progress in the attainment of knowledge, and the behaviour of all had become most satisfactory." The treasurer has a small fund of about £lO in hand, but the annual expenditure will hereafter be larger, as appli cations for admission will increase. It is hoped that the liberality of the public will enable the successors of the present committee to open another school in some other part of the town, It is gratifying to add, that at the re opening of the school nearly 80 lads presented themselves for admission, 40 of whom had previously been pupils. 'lii; LIVERPOOL STANDARD. M. I este LOCAL MEETINGS. ST. ANNE'S WARD.—On Thursday night, at a meeting of the electors of this ward, Mr. Poole addressed them, and expressed himself strongly in favour of rating the dock and corporate estates. A resolution to support him was passed unanimously. . _ . EVERTON AND KIRKDALE.—A meeting of the rate payers of the ward was held at New's Hotel on Wednes day, for the purpose of adopting measures to secure the return of Mr. Thomas Langsdale for that ward, in oppo sition to Mr. Shand, the retiring member. ABERCROMBY WARD.—A meeting of the burgesses of this ward was held on Friday, at the Phoenix Inn, Mount pleasant,—R. C. Gardner, Esq., in the chair,—to nomi nate a candidate. Thomas Lee, Esq., was proposed, and introduced to the meeting. He was in favour of rating the dock estate, and as to reting the corporate estate his impression was, that it would be expedient to do so. With respect to the Rivington Pike scheme, he should have opposed it as unnecessary. A resolution was after wards passed, pledging the meeting to use every exertion to secure Mr. Lee's return. WEST DERBY GUARDIANS.—At the weekly meeting on Wednesday, a letter from the Poor-law Board was read, enclosing a letter from Mr. Arrowsmith, relative to his defalcation, and requesting further time for another inves tigation to be made by parties chosen by himself and his sureties. The board replied, that they would grant him a fortnight, but would not interfere with what the guardians might do in the meantime. The latter agreed to allow a week before they proceeded for the amount. The motion relative to the division of Toxteth-park into districts, for the purposes of relief, of which notice had last week been given, was carried. , Miss Wolfendall was appointed ma tron of the fever hospital. The Rev. Mr. Badnall was appointed vice-chairman, in the place of Mr. Roberts, resigned. Mr. Peers was appointed deputy. The motion That the appointment of Mr. Knowles, collector of poor rates, be rescinded," was ca:ried. The Rev. Thomas Dwyer was appointed chaplain to the fever hospital, at a salary of £2O. Several appointments of collectors for out townships were made. DOCK COMMITTEE.—The Committee of Works reported that they would not make any appropriation at present of the land at the north end.—lt was ordered that the Cla rence half-tide basin should be run dry on the 13th and 14th instant, the usual notices being given. —The Har bour Master's Committee recommended the appointment of Mr. Thomas Prenton, as master of the Canning Dock, at a salary of £l5O per annum, with a house. Conti' med. —The same committee also recommended the appoint ment of Mr. William Foyle, as master of the Toxteth Dock. This led to a long and desultory discussion, Mr.. Tobin, Mr. Shand, and one or two other members, con tending that persons in the employ of the trust in subor dinate capacities, su:11 as pier -masters, &c., should be elevated to such situations as an inducement for good con duct and attention. Mr. Shand thought the matter should be referred. Mr. Saunders, a member of the committee, remarked that the proceedings of a committee ought not to be referred merely because a member had an individual in his service whom he wished to be appointed. Mr. Aikin said that, as to members recommending their ser vants, he thought the last speaker need not have alluded to it ; he believed, however, that Foyle, the person recom mended, was in his (Mr. Srrander r s) employ. Mr. Saun ders replied that, though Foyle was in his employ, so far from wishing him to come forward as an applicant for the vacant situation, he had advised him not to do so. The matter was ultimately referred back, and the committee were directed to ascertain whether any pier-master or other officer was capable of taking the situation. THE ARCHITECTURAL AND ARJII/EOLOGICAL SOCIETY. —The first meeting of this society, for the season, was held on Wednesday evening last, at the Royal Institu tion. There was a very numerous attendance of gentle men connected with the architectural profession, and other branches of building and construction. The Presi dent (his Worship the Mayor, ) was unavoidably absent, and the chair was occupied by Mr. Picton. the vice president. A number of splendid drawings, plans, &c., the production of members of the society, and some beautiful designs by Mr. Frank Howard, illustrative of English history, intended to decorate the Grammar School at Preston, were exhibited. The Chairman congratulated the members of the profession on the formation of a so ciety which was likely to produce such beneficial results : it would be advantageous not to architects merely, but to all those gentlemen whose avocations connected them in any way with building generally. He had no doubt of the success of the society, now that it had been established on such a permanent basis.. He concluded by alluding to an interesting paper he had heard read at the sister so ciety at Carnarvon, by Mr: Hartshorn, giving some ori ginal details connected with Carnarvon Castle. Mr. Reid, the secretary to the society, read a paper on the architec— ture and archasology of St. Andrew's Church, Bebington, to which edifice an excursion had been made by the members. a short time ago. Mr. Reid entered into many details; showing the different styles to be found in this ancient building, together -with its history and the various changes and alterations it had undergone at different periods. His observations were illustrated by drawings and dia grams. The reading of the paper was listened to with much attention,. and the subject was considered of so much importance, that it was agreed to adjourn it for further consideration at the next meeting of the tociety: POLICE INTELEIGEIVCE, COMMITMENTS AT THE POLICE-COURT, YESTERDAY.- Ann Redman, who had been remanded from Saturday, for concealing the birth of her child, was committed for trial at , the eessions.—Bilen Alexander, who bad gone into the house of Jane Whitehead, on Sunday, the key having baen left in the door, and stolen therefrom two candle sticks, value 25., was also sent for trial.—John Hughes. charged with stabbing John M'Mahon, on Saturday, in Bolton-street, was committed for trial.—Also, John Bur- goyne, Catherine Brtrgoyne, and John Walsh, for stealing,. on Saturday, a pair of boots from the shop of John Roberts, in Pitt-street ; and James Mason, for stealing a portmanteau, the property of Edmund Stz.rkie, from a vessel in the river.

AN ESCAPE.—The other evening one of the police force, in a state described as " drunk and disorderly," was taken to Rose-hill Bridewell. Whilst confined to the yard, by the aid of a ladder he scaled a wall, and dropped down on the other side, a height of eighteen feet, but received no bodily injury. The head constable, of course, suspended the man. A PRACTICAL MAGISTRATE.—A man was brought up at the Police-office, on Tuesday, charged with insubordi nation in the workhouse, and committed to gaol for 21 days. He complained of having to work at a land mill, which was too laborious for any man to undertake alone ; but Mr. Rushton said this was'false, as he had been to the workhouse himself, and turned all the mills there, the la bour of which was not too much for any industrious man. MISDEMEANOLTR. — On Friday, a married female, named Anne Crewe, was brought up at the Police-court, charged either with having concealed the birth of, or having de sert2d, her newly born child. Prisoner called at a house in Kirkdale, about noon on Sunday- weex, and, shortly afterwards, a newly born infant, which, there can be no doubt, belonged to the prisoner, was I able distance off. The prisoner was cot assizes. round at a consider litted to the A CASE or HOCUSSING.—On Friday a scampish-look ing fellow, named Christopher Crane, was committed for trial on the charge of having robbed a stupid-looking fellow of his purse and some silver. An attempt was made by. Mr. Owen, an attorney, to show that the prosecutor had lost his money before he went to the side of the dock.. The fellow was seen to perpetrate the felony, and it also appeared clear that the prosecutor (who, by the way, was stur d) had been dosed by the companions of the prisoner, whose brother had offered a policeman ten shil lings not to appear against him. A RECOGNITION.—At the Police-court, on Friday, an fficer, who as in a felony case, taking care of sonic ese, did riot post when the case was called on. ." Where is that offi cer ?" bawled out Mr. Superintendent Clough. A police man replied—" He is outside, sir, taking care of the geese." Mr. Clough--"-One of you officers go and ta . charge of the other geese, whilst he comes here." upon, another officer left the court to take char eese. who set un a loud cackle of delight There of the coated THE BUILDING SURVEYOR v. PATERSON.—This was an information, heard before Mr. Rushton on Tuesday. against the contractor for the masons' work of St. Peter's Church, Great Oxford-street, for erecting the clerestories in contravention of the Liverpool Building Act, 5 Vic., c. 44. The real defendants were the trustees of the church, and the point in dispute was whether the cleres tories were external walls or merely portions of the roof. Mr. Robinson, assistant building surveyor, said the ex ternal walls were not built according to the provisions of the act, but that all the external walls, with the exception of the clerestories, were of greater thickness than required by the act, and were also further strengthened by but tresses. Mr. Rishton, the chief building surveyor, in answer to the court, admitted that the roofs of St. John's and St. James's Markets were on the same principle as the one in question. A number of architects, surveyors, and builders were attending in court as witnesses for the defendant ; but the magistrates, after the short exarai. nation of the assistant building surveyor, said the act ought to receive a liberal construction, and decided, without calling on the defendant's witnesses, that there had been no infringement. and dismissed the case, Mr. Blair asked for defendant's costs on the ground of the very heavy expense he had been put to in preparing to de fend the case. The court said they had not the power, or would have given them; and they regretted they had not that power. _ A PEMALE FOUND DEAD FROM `` STOWING."-OR Thurs day, a man_ named Devine, a shipper of passengers, was death of a girl, by stowing her alyip , in a box on board of longing to the office of Messrs. Tapscott, agents for the ship. stated that while he was on board on Wednesday afternoon, he was told by a sailor that there was a "stow away " dead in a box in the second cabin. On going to make inquiry, he found a girl, about eighteen years of age, had been taken out of a box in an apparently lifeless state. She was warm • but all efforts to restore animation were utterly unavailing. He understood that a girl, who had a key to the box had opened it, and she had stated that a man gave her the key, who brought potatoes the same morning for the passengers. It was stated that the pri soner's boy bad the key originally, and it was probable he had given it to the girl ; but as neither of them were pre sent in court, the mystery which surrounded the matter could not be cleared up, and the prisoner was remanded (on bail), Mr. Rushton remarking that he would make some one account for the circumstances, if possible. On Friday, the investigation was resumed by the _ deputy coroner. A ' - t- I girl named Kay, who came to ..averpool ro emigrate to New York, said she had been staying as servants, and that I ine had spoken to her about girl. She thought she had seen deceased there, and also on board. The witness was there on Tuesday night, and two boys came on board with some potatoes. One of them gave her a key, which she thought he said was to unlock a box between decks, and which she saw the boys move. This key she gave to her sister, who handed it to a person who occupied that part of the ship where the box stood. Soon after this all the passen gers were summoned on deck to show their tickets, and directly afterwards she heard that the girl had been taken out of the box dead.—Bridget Riley, a washerwoman, knew deceased, and had often seen her nursing Devine's children.---Mr. Woods, surgeon, stated that he had made an examination of the body, and likewise of the box in which deceased had been confined.—The dimensions of the box given by Morley, the beadle, were, length 3 feet, depth 1 it, 6 in., width 1 ft. 5i in; the length of the body was 4 ft. 1(4 in.—The evidence of Mr. Woods, the sur geon who made the post-mortem examination, went to show that death was caused by suffocation.—The verdict was that deceased was found suffocated, but how she came to be stowed away there was no evidence to show.

EXTENSIVE ROBBERY OF CALICOES AND LINENS Three men, named Gibney, Parr, and Callan, were on Tuesday brought up, charged with being concerned in the robbery of two cases of rish linen, and thirty or forty pieces of bleached calico. The goods in qeestion were consigned to Messrs. Matthews and Co. , forwarding agents, of this town, and arrived by a steamer in the Clarence Dock from Coleraine. Parr , who was a porter in their employ, was entrusted with a voucher for the de livery of the goods. It was subsequently , however, found that the goods had been deliveied to a carter (Gibney), who produced the note which had been given to Parr. The police, having got scent of the matter, at once appre hended Parr and Gibney ; they next secured Michael Cal lon, and afterwards proceeded to a grocer's shop in Tithe barn-street, kept by a man named Patterson, and in his back shop found a pile of pieces of bleached calico, the manufacturer's mark on which had been cut out of each. Upon being asked how the goods came into his possession, Mr. Pattison said they belonged to Callan. Part of the goods were traced elsewhere ; and, on Thursday, John M'Donald, Bridget Powell, and Ellen Barton, were brought up charged with being concerned in the robbery. The evidence went to show that the prisoners were in posses sion of a portion of the stolen property, and had pledged it at various pawnbrokers. They were again remanded. CLOSING DIN., ROY./ NER OF THE MEMBERS OF THE DEE YACHT CLUB. On Tuesday last the members of the Royal Dee Yacht Club celebrated the close of their first season under " Royal" sanction, by a dinner, at the Mostyn Arms" Hotel, Parkgate ; and. though the early part of the day was uninviting, heavy rain having fallen, the attendance was numerous, includingmembersandguestsfrom Chester, Liverpool, and even more distant localities. At six o'clock the .company sat down' to an excellent and sumptuous repast, accompanied by the choicest wines. The respected Commodore of the Club, Edward Watson Lloyd, Esq., of Fort Hsswall, presided ; and the vice chair was occupied by William Ayrton, Esq., of Chester, the secretary. Amongst those present were Sir Edward Walker, Chairman of the Committee for the Improvement of the River Dee ; John Simpson, Esq. ; Thomas Bir chall, Esq., (owner of the beautiful and highly successful yacht, " The Vision ;" Captain Fyfe, Capt. Garratt, Mr. Piper, Mr. Wemys, Mr. Eustace, and another gentleman (whose name we did not ascertain), all of the 46th Regi ment, now stationed at Chester ; R. Pedder, Esq., of Preston, and others. After the banquet, the usual loyal toasts were succes sively given, and drunk with the greatest enthusiasm. C• to the t- f" T' krmy," apt.

The CHAIRMAN then proposed the health of their bro ther member, Thomas Birehall,. Esq., as owner of the Vision,. and also as the worshipful the Mayor of Preston,. a gentleman who had distinguished himself as a skilful yachtman. and who, in order to meet them that day, had sacrificed his valuable time, which he was almost called upon tO devote to more important official avocations. 'Mr. BIRCHALL returned thanks in very eloquent, ap propriate, and unassuming terms. He remarked that England's glory was her navy and her army ; and he re joiced that a gentleman of the 46th regiment had replied toa previous toast in a manner that showed how deeply he appreciated the generous and patriotic co-operation of those two branches of her Majesty's service.

The Rev. Mr. Hearne, late Roman Catholic incumbent of Manchester, having been dangerously stabbed two months ago for being supposed friendly to the Jesuits, and the miscreant being now in the hands of justice, this Irish clergyman has found it necessary to abscond from Rome, and lurk in the mountains about Frascati, so many attempts have been made to endanger his life, and thus deter him from prosecuting to condign punishment the hero of the stiletto. Row AT CROSBY.—A kw days ago a party of Irish labourers at Great Crosby, who had been employed in getting potatoes, turned out for an advance of wages, but not being able to obtain their demand in a peaceable way they got drunk, and created a regular Irish row, using their pitchforks against the police and the neighbours who attempted to take them into custody. This was not efiected without a fearful conflict, in the course of which the police and one or two parties were severely injured.

M`NEILE ON THE PROPOSAL TO PAY THE ROMAN CATHOLIC PRIEST HOOD BY THE STATE. TO THE EDITOR OF THE LIVERPOOL A friend has called my attention to a paragraph in your last paper, which seems to call for a few observa tions from me; and I have, therefore, to beg the favour of the insertion of this letter in your next. To avoid misrepresentation, however unintentional, you will oblige me by reprinting ehe paragraph here. I have cut it out of the paper and enclose it for the purpose. " It is currently reported in circles usually well-informed, that the Rev. Dr. M'Neile has had the candour to admit the overwhelming necessity for greatly modifying his objections to a state provision for the Roman Catholic clergy of Ireland. Indeed there are many converts to the conviction, that there will he no lasting peace in that unhappy land for either pro testant or papist, until the Irish priesthood are relieved from the worst form of the evils of "voluntaryism," that is, abject dependence on the demagogue of the day and his seven millions of deluded dupes—the excitable peasantry—w hose "pence" now form their precarious stipe n d s . At a ll events, it is confi dently stated that Dr. M'Neile has been in correspondence with Sir Robert Inglis on this vexed subject, and that the latter at least is willing to advocate, or to acquiesce in, the state pay- P'eh^"^ -1--- ---- DED, the law will at nan Catholic as well eges as SIR,-. the same tie confer on the Irish i the members Of the Anglican Church namely, the privilege of demanding Ch inn of women, and burial, as una this country enjoy; - ism, church s.

In the first place, then, as the opinions of my kind friend. Sir Robert Inglis, are of vastly more con sequence to the public than mine, I beg to assure you that there is not the slightest foundation for the above report, so far as he is concerned. I have never had the honour of any correspondence with him upon the subject referred to, nor do I know whether his view of it has undergone any recent modification. I think it extremely unlikely. For myself T can ans w er. My opinions upon the sub ject are grounded upon a carefully acquired knowledge of the system of Romanism, and an anxiously conscientious were not hastily formed, and read anything which a 1 of God. They ,een, or heard, or any alteration of o requi: In reply to the multuns vexatuns questionem of what is to be done for Ireland ? the design, now very generally attributed to her Majesty's ministers of making some national provision for the maintenance of the Roman Catholic priests, is, of course, largely and freely debated. It forms the subject not only of public writing and speak ing. but of innumerable private conversations. The amount of foundation that exists for the report, as above stated, concerning me, must be traced to ore or two such conversations which have lately taken place, and the general drift of which appears to have been misappre hended.- There is, indeed, always some risk of misappre hension, (especially where a strong Irish exists on one side,) when even, for argument's sake, the main question is set aside, and some secondary or subsidiary topic ele vated into• chief discussion. That you and your readers may perceive how this has happened in this case, I have written a fair specimen of the conversations referred to, held in a passing way, dans pede in uno, in a newsroom or counting-house. I can, indeed, recall only two such occasions : I do not pretend to transcribe the very words which passed on either; but if you will allow A, in the following dialogue, to represent your informant, and B to represent Dr. M`Ncile, you will have substantially the facts of the case. A.—Well, what say you to this project of paying the Roman Catholic Priests in Ireland ? B.—What can be said in favour of such a project ? A.—Why, don't you think that if the priests were made independent of the fees, dues, and other exactions from their people, on which they now live, their people would become more independent of them ? Surely, if the people knew, as they would, of course, soon know, that the priests were salaried by the state, they would feel them selves at liberty to withhold many of those payments which they now give as matter of necessary support to their clergy. And is it not human nature that the priests themselves, or many of them, if independent of their peo ple, would be less sedulous in their attentions, and there fore less influential ? Tn this point of view, as tending to diminish the absolute control now exercised by the priests, do you not think that their endowment would be a politic measure ? B.—You could not attain, or even approximate to the effect you anticipate, unless you combined the endowment of the priesthood with an act of parliament giving the laity a legal right to the sacraments and other ordinances of what they consider the true church, and prompt and efficient - legal redress against any priest w h o re f use d those sacraments or ordinances.. You are aware that, whatever may be the professed rules of the system, it is practically in the option of the Roman Catholic priesthood, whether to give cr withhold "the -rites of the church" in any indi vidual instance ; and that an " interdict" horn these rights is used as an engine of coercion in political and other tem poral matters. To any man in whom he perceives symp toms of political independence, the priest may say, (or what is much more con:mon, he may very clearly and practically convey, without committing himself by say ing) "your child shall not be baptized, nor your wife churched, unless you vote for the friend of your church and your country, (alias t'te nominee of the priest) at the - - uperstitions. ispensable to urch are it pis work Le next the atl7 '43 circums _ .e point of Ayr, so that there need be - hension as to the want of a sufficient depth of Ihway, or not They think the 4.6. hnnninneo . ties in t ministration of those rights is absolutely at the priests' option, the people, in proportion to their sincerity, are the Priests' slaves. Unless, therefore, you can coerce the priests to administer the sacraments, &c., an endowment of £l,OOO a year to each of them would not take one step in advance towards securing either the civil or religious liberty of the people. A.—Capital! There is something tangible to aim at, and popular, too : for in urging this we shall appear as liberal assertors of the people's rights, not as bigotted restricters. Would you press such. a measure ? B.—Undoubtedly, if th3endowment be inevitable. But, my good sir, the subject is not so simple, nor so easily disposed of as you seem to think. So much for the dialogue. Now, Mr. Editor, one of the inconveniences attending such conversations, or rather attending the reporting of. them in newspapers, arises from the circumstance that they are very frequently interrupted and cut short, just when further explanation becomes desirable. Such has been the case here. The proposal suggested in the way of objection,.and with a view of leading to•further information, commended itself at once to an unsuspecting Englishman, who desires nothing more sincerely than the advancement of liberty, bath civil. and religious. Unhappily, however, its success is renderer'. wholly impracticable by the system of Roman ism in another of its features. I refer to the doctrine of intention. Rome is nowhere incautious— has not left herself open to any Powers that be," as the arrane —on no side unarmed. She ucli objection to " the 'eferred to would listered accurately in their letter and outward matter, depend fo dity on the intention of the officiating priest. If, e. g., when he consecrates the wafer, he inwardly intends not to do it, or even negatively, if he does not intend to do it, the miracle of transubstantiation is not performed, and the sacrament is of no avail. Here is an escape from the most stringent le-ris ,heir Ali that a kiritish la lea be complied wi word the Church of Rome be withheld 'from the people in all that constitutes their religious efficacy. No earthly power can secure liberty to conscientious members of the Church of Rome. They invest their Priests with the attributes of divinity, and then make conscience of self-prostration. This "voluntary humility" in religious things is turned (when the interests of the system seem to require it) into an engine of coercion in secular things; nnd hence the difficulty, or, as I apprehend it will be found, the impossi bility of fair and honourable negotiationwith them by a rrotestant z±tate. As to the notion of attaching them by gratitude, and thereupon making use of. them to govern the country in peace, I can only smile at the amiable simplicity of those who think that such a tie would last an hour longer than it answered the conscience or policy of 3rve it.
