THE POPISH BAZAAR.
115 the Etlitor of the Observer."

Sin,—! sae it announced by posters, that the Roman
Catholics of Stourbridge are going to hold a bazaar in
the Corn Exchange, on the first five days next week, and
I would respectfully wish to remind the members of
other denominations of • few facts concerning that body.
Firstly, that while other religious bodies in the town
have been struggling fir many years to pay the debts on
their places of worship, the !torn/mists have managed to
erect their magnificent pile of buildings in Kiddermiii-
ater-street, viz., chapel, schools, and nunnery, besides
purchasing and erecting a cemetery at Norton. A great
deal of this has been done by Protestant money, obtained
by means of lotteries, bazaars, etc. The Roman Catho•
lics scout the idea of contributing to the support of any
other religion, because they say they are the true church,
but they eagerly seek after the moneys of other churches.
I would also suggest that before any Proteatant supports
this bazaar he shculd ask himself the following ques-
tions .—Can I contribute to a s3zteru that has tortured,
burnt, and otherwise destroyed huhdreds of thousands of
my fellow-creatures, because they would not believe in
the superstitious dogmas of the Popery of Rome A
system that teaches the filthy rubbish of Liguori, Dens,
and Baily, in the coldesnional; that brands you as
heathens and heretics; that would rob you of your Bible ;
that elevates a poor, infirm, old man, to be equal with
God ; dint i•xce weer 1710t(71 IQ lvelj the churitote of unw
other denomihatiowe; that tolerates to other religious
where it has the power to prevent them; that has canned
more bloodshed, tears, and misery, thaw any other sys-
tem on the face of the earth; in tact, a system that bas
ever been the enemy of both God and man? Mr.
Editor, the se are incontrovertible and historical facts.
that the same spirit lurks in them now can ly• proved
from recent etatemehts of thc a periodicals, bishops, and
pnesta, and I would, once mom, respectfully large upon
sh Protestants, either Churchmen, or Dissenters, what
.you cannot no coureieutiously, do not do at all.

MODES OF MARRIAGE.

There were at the close of the year 1869, the latest
return, 6,212 buildings (other than churches) registered
for the solemnization of marriages in England. As
many as 1,769 were chapels belonging to the Indepen-
dents or eongregationaliste ; 1,M13 belonging to the
Wesleyan Methodists, the original COlifieliliM and the
offshoot.; 1,255 to the Baptiste, 669 to the Roman
Catholics, 326 to the Calvinistic Methodists and Lady
litintingdon's Connexion, 184 to the Presbyterians, 161
to the 1. nitarians, 236 to other denominations. It is but
a generation since marriages therwirre than according to
to the rites of the Eetabliahed (lurch were first made legal
in England. In 1849 there was 18,701 such marriages;
in 1859 the number had become 31,513; in 1869 it was
as many as 41,868, not very greatly less than one-fourth
of the whole number of marriage*. The number cele-
brated, not at any church or chapel, butat a superin-
teudent-registrar's office, has increased very greatly;
in 1819 it was but 5,538, in 1859, 10,844, in 1669, 16,745.
This mode of marrving is popular in some parts of the
country. In 1569 in the Exeter district there were 195
marriag,es at church, and 156 at the registrar's office ; and
at Plymouth 312 at church, awl 312 at the registrar's
office. In the w sth of England 1,493 of the 5,691 mar-
riages in the year 1669 in Durham were at the registrar's
office ;in Northumberland 745 of the whole 3,401 ; m Cum- '
berland 482 of the whole 1,463. In the Morpeth district
there were 188 marriages in all ; 66 at church, 104 at the
registrar's office. At Berwick, 163 marriages; 41 at
church, 82 at the registrar's office. These are border
districts, be it observed. In Wales, again, the Church
is weak. The Cardiff district returns 674 marriages in
1.69; 253 at church, 283 at the reeilitrar'm off ye, 77 at
ise,nting chapels. Merthyr Tydfil, 1,024 marriages;
1,1 at church, 471 at the registrar's office, 326 at Dis-
senting chapels, 41 at Roman Catholic chapels. Neath,
476 marriages; 194 at rhurch, 220 at the registrar's
office, 60 at Dissenting chapels. Feetinieg, 177 mar-
riages ; 36 at church, 85 at the registrar's office, 56 at
Dissenting ehapels. In all Wales, 'nit of 8,766 noir-
riages in 1869, 2,366 ef them were at the registrar's
office.

A JUVENILE TOURIST.

The hill, wing Is taken from a Swiss paper :
A little girl, between four and five years old, on
Thursday last, took into her head to take a trip by
rail. She accordingly went to the station in Berne,
and followed the crowds of people whoa she observed
were taking their seats inn train which was just about
to start, and which proved to be going to Fribourg,
Romont, and Lausanne. Of course, she never thought
of taking a ticket. On she went to Romont—where
she got out of the carriage, and thoroughly amused
heisclf f... :everal hours near the station. When she •
began to feel tired, she sat dowx in the waiting-room
at the station and went to sleep. On awaking, between
six aml seven o'clock in the evening, she in. piked when
the could go to Berns, and, cws being toll that
the last train would anise in about half an hour,
she waited quietly mail it came up, and then jtunped
in, and reached Berne shortly aftermine o'clock at night.
I In the meantime, her parents had, of course, grown
' very anxious about her, and had searched every place
where they thought she could possibly be, but after •
whole day's search they were obliged to relinquish any
I further loaf, Mitil.tho novt. any ilnr
~,,, ,ine ow surprised, but, at the Marne tune, how
deeply thankful they were, when their little lost sheep
arrived safely home shortly before ten o'clock, telling
tibem that she was very tired, but that she had a good
I deal to tell them about her journey, and by the time
she had finished they ha,l laughed •40 heartily at her
adventures, and the quaint way in which she told them,
I that it was too late to sold her, and there WRi 110thillg
It, ha to put her to bed, and make is resolve to keep
a strict watch over the young lady in future.

would destroy in this case, as in that of the ezereta, all

A WATERLOO VETERAN.

Charles Frederick Thruston, Deputy-Lieutenant and Justice
if the Niter for the counties of Merionetli and Montgomery
writing from Tslgarth-hall, Maehynlieth, under date Septem-
ber 21. makes the following appeal for a veteran who has
fought his (Anna ry's battles :

Will you allow use through your columns to men-
tion, to all liersons disposed to assist, the ease of a de-
serving old soldier who has served his country during a
yeti. srof great national emergency? David dunes, the
object if the present appeal, wee born in 1791 at Pennal,
in this neighbourhwal. At the age of 17 he enlisted and
serve.' in the ranks of the 234-41 Royal Welsh Fusiliers in
the I .ight Company. He took part in the battle of Water-
loo and was shot through the left arm at the close of the ,
tight at the farm of llraismont. When he had served 20 ,
years, including the two yews] allowed for Waterloo, an
offer was made by the authorities of a gratuity of
s 55., being no year's pay. to all men willing to take
their discharge. Ile and a host of others accepted it
instead of serving until they could have claimed a
pension. I have known the 411 inan ever since he left
the army. He has always manfully endeavoured to
keep the wolf from the door by hard work, but now in
his old age he is crippled by rheumatism, and he awl
his al wife have nothing to support themselves on but
a pittance in the shape of outdoor relief from the
parish. I wish some if your renders could see the
clean, moldier-like, awl respectful old man, on whose
behalf I write to you, and I fed certain that their
sympathies wouhl induce them to lend him a helping
hand for the few years that yet remain to him. Any
subscriptions may be sent to Inc direct for " David
JOULOS'S Fund,- or to my account at the Machinilleth
Branch 44 the National Provincial Bank, awl. I pro-
pose, if enough can be got together, to purchwe the
"la man an annuity to keep him in comfort until his
death.

BISHOPS IN THE KIRK.

The John Bun gives an authorised explanation of
the appearance of Bishop Wilberforce iii the Presby-
terian pulpit at Glengarry. After stating that the
bishop of the diocese approved what was done, the
John hell save :—" The facts of the case are simply
these. The Bishop was staying at Mr. Ellice's, at In-
vergarre, with a large English party, awl there being
no English service lie was asked to girt: them itoe, and
as there was on that Sunday none in the Kirk, it was
offered, and his h vdship officiated, the service consist-
ing of a selection from the prayers in the Prayer Book,
two Leis., its. hymns, a sermon, and a concluding
prayer (extempore). In the evening his lordship said
Evening song in Mr. Ellice's dining room." Nothing
is added about the Archbishop of York.

THE EXPLANATION.

The Bishop of Winchester has explained his pro-
ceedings at Glengarry- Kirk in the following letter
tuldressed in reply to one sent him by Dr. Mack-
ness, of Oxford :

In reply to your letter, I beg to explain to yen that the
service referred to WAS a inisilion service, there being no
English service hi the village that day, sod many strangers

and ,there. It had, of course, nothing to do with the orders,
Om, of the Presbyterian body. The kirk as a building wioi
offered for an English Bishop's service in It, and accepted
readily by me. I believe that I did what St. Paul did at the
place where prayer was wont to be made. Nor cau I con-
ceive that such a mission service has any tendency to lie
crease the difficulties of our beloved sister the tliurch nf
Scotland. What I did met with the MI approval of the
Primus.'

A correspondent of The rl7llfB, who says he is both
an English parson and a Scottish lain!, calls attention
to the fact that the recognition of a non-Episcopal
'hunch pp. sing that there has been any meth recog-
nition in what has lately been done at l'aerr4arryl is
nothing new on the part of English prelates, though in
these days of high siwerdotal claims it may appear en.
" The prelates who have been setting such a good
example in Scotland are merely acting in the spirit
manifested by the whole Episcopal bench in the yea!
1536, when Archbishop Howley and his brethren sent
a letter to the,Nforlerator and ministers of the Church
of tienera congratulating them on the tercentenary of
their Reformation."

On another eicumstance which has been spaken of
in connection with the procchliogs of the bishops the
le,:runl says --Some of our contemporaries comment
on the conduct of Dr. Spencer, of Marylebone, in
preaching in a Baptist chapel in Dublin, an if he were
amenable to the Bishop of London's juriudiction for
this irregularity. But now that the Iriuh Church in
diuestablished, it may be doubted whether there was
any irregularity ; and, at all events, it has been I leeided
that, A. the ecclesiastical law now utands, even an act
of immorality, if committed abroad and out of the
jurisdiction of our courtu, is not punishable.

REFORM OF THE HOUSE OF LORDS.

Tbe tnllowlng circular has been leaned by the Birmingham
Li!leral Assodation : - - -

"The contemptuous rejection by the House el Lords
of the Ballot Bill, a measure necessary to secure the
independence if the electors, awl affecting only the
House of Commons and their constituents, has given
another proof of the necessity of revising the ( 7onsti-
tution and defining the power of the Upper House.
Differences between the two Houses have arisen on
questions in which the privileges and interests of a clam
are opposed to the political advancement of the people
and the progress and prosperity of the nation. Such
conflicts cannot but occur with increasing frequency
now that an extended franchise is given to the people.
It must lie at ttnee decided, in eases of such disputes,
where the final power is to reside, and how it shall
be exercised—that ultimate authority can belong only
to the majority of the people, anti must be directed by
their representatives. It is intolerable that legislation
should be impeded and political rights withheld
by the irresponsible members of an hereditary chamber.
The present method of counteracting this evil by the
expression of public opinion, which involves the neces-
sity of a bag and turbulent agitation on each disputed
question, is cumbersome, uncertain, and dangerous, and '
ought to be superseded by some constitutional method '
I at once just and efficient. We, therefore, believe that
I the time has arrived when the hereditary principle
I in legislation, which neither insures wisdom in the
lindividual, nor patriotism in the body, must be
I abolished; when the second Chamber must be brought
I into unison with the popular sympathies ; and when
the undoubted right of the House of Commons to
carry the will of the people into action over all
opposing interests and authorities, must he secured.
We know that this work, so essential to the political
progress, the social advancement, and the material
well-being of the people, is one which cannot be maxim-
'dished without great effort awl determination. The
task should only be commenced after careful conside-
ration and complete organisation. The Birmingham
Liberal Association has decided to invite a Conference
of representatives of the great towns of the kingdom,
at which a definite scheme of constitutional reform may
be matured, and combined action in its support con-
certed. If you agree with us that such a course is
advisable, we shall be glad if you will take part in
obtaining from the people in your locality a public
expression of opinion, and the appointment of repre-
sentatives to attend the conference, which is to be held
on Tuesday, the 28th November next.
