DECIATI'S motion these simple facts lose all their
simplicity, and become tainted with suspicion, ille-
gality, and fraud. Mr. SHHE, it should here be
mentioned, as next of kin to Father HorcnilisoN,
entertaining for him all his life a strong reel•
procal affection, was not unnaturally pained at his
brother-in-law's " conversion," pained at his ab-
sorption in the Oratory, pained that the bulk
of his considerable fortune should have been spent
out of the family, and that the remainder after his
death should have been devised to the Order;,
pained that his body should be buried in a" private"
burial ground and under a name other than that
which he had recived at baptism. There was nothing
strange in Mr. Smar's feelings as next of kin ;
nothing absolutely unaccountable in the proceed-
ings he thought fit to take concerning his brother-
in-law's will and burial. Protestant families are
apt to be uneasy when one of their members
becomes • convert, and something more than a
convert, to a Church which, not content with saving
the souls of its most devoted members, shuts up
their bodies, changes their names, and makes their
wills. But in the present instance it appears that
Mr. Sim., in drawing up • petition for an inquiry
con3erning the private burial-ground of the Oratory
at Sydenham, was betrayed into charges and impu-
tations affecting the reputation of high Catholic
families, and introducing the names of persons in no
way responsible for the facts which he alleged. Nor
was Mr. Stirs correct in his interpretation of
the law of the matter. As the Hems Sacarraav
explained, there was nothing informal or illegal in
the establishment of the private burial ground at
Sydenham ; nothing illegal in the institution of
the Order of St. Philip Neri ; nothing in the
change of name on the tombstone ; and as to the
alleged disposal of property by " undue influence,"
the law furnished a remedy where proof existed ;
in the present instance no undue influence had
been proved. On these sufficient grounds, there-
fore, the HOYE SECRFTARY opposed the motion for
inquiry with the general assent and sympathy of
the House.
It is no business of the British Parliament in
our day to step between " converts" and the
church of their adoption, and to protect them
against the free disposal of their consciences, their
souls, or their fortunes. If any clergyman cr:
layman of the Church of England has a fancy to
become a Father of the Oratory, to devote his life
and his money to "good works" of his own
chooeing, to lose his personal identity in a brother-
hood, or to bequeath his fortune to an Order, the
law of England supposes no "undue influence."
In deathbed dispositions of property (Father
HUTCHINSON made his will two years before
he died) where the claims of blood and
natural affection have been set aside, and
where some exceptional influence has undoubtedly
prevailed, it becomes the duty of the law to
protect the family. Mr. NEWDEGATE, by laying
stress on weak points of the case he had un-
dertaken, enabled the Catholic interest to gain
an easy victory, and even to carry off all the
honours of the debate ; yet there was much in his
remarks concerning the Catholic party on the Con-
tinent and in England which deserved the attention
of the least bigoted of his hearers. Of the intrigues
and encroacbmentsof the so-calledcharitable Catho-
lic associations in France and Italy all Liberal
Europe is aware. In France the Government is
overawed and held in check by the Catholic party,
acting through powerful charitable organizations,
and through those semi-secular semi-monastic
brotherhoods and communities, the growth of
which was fostered by the Imperial Government,
until they began to overshadow the State itself.
In Italy at this moment all section' of the Liberal
party are in agitation against the Paolotte who,
under pretence of visiting the poor and relieving
distress, conspire against the liberal institutions of
the kingdom. But is there anything analogous to
such abuses in England ? Have any of our
readers ever known or heard of Protestant estates
being " converted " to the Catholic faith by pro-
ceases unknown to the moral law Have they
ever observed in the windows of Catholic repo-
aitories, in the midst of toys and kuicknacks of
Catholic devotion, forms for drawing a will I Whe-
ther for drawing • will in favour of natural heirs,
we may leave our readers to conjecture. Catholic
members who were last night, enjoying the attitude
of martyrs, laugh derisively at the ignorant pre-
judices of Protestants, when it is their cue to
make merry.
If it be one of these ignorant prejudices to
remark that throughout the Catholic world religious
liberty means ecclesiastical domination, Mr.
NEwnEGAtz may be excused for suspecting that
in Protestant countries the liberty so loudly
called for means the liberty of spiritual confisca-
tion. Indeed the English Catholics have their
own Cardinal Archbishop to thank for Mr. NEW-
DEGATE'S fears and warnings. We understand and
respect without in any degree sharing his
honest apprehensions ; not because we would set
up one intolerance against another, but because
we have faith in the law of perfect liberty.

VISIT OF HER MAJESTY TO THE
METROPOLIS.-(THIS DAY.)

This afternoon her Majesty the Queen, accompa-
nied by their Royal Highnesses Princesses Helena
ani L0u,.., and attended by Lord Charlie Pitney,
Lieutenant-Colonel Du Plat, the Hon. Mrs. Braes, &c.,
left Windsor Outle and drove to the Windsor station of the
Great Western Railway, where a special train, with the
saloon in the centre, • most commodious and elegant carriage.
was in reedits= by the side of the arrival platform,f or the con.
=yaws of her Majesty to Paddington en route forßackingham
Pane, where,as hu been already annonnoed,the Queen pur-
posed holding a court—the first since the death of the Prince
Consort, if we are not mistaken—for the reception of the
corps diplonutique. The day being beautifully fine, •
number of the principal inhabitants of Windsor were
at the station to witness the departure, the ladies, as is
customary on these occasions, clustering near the royal
waiting room where the best view—acd a close ons—
et the proceedings is always to be obtained, and where
their patience is often rewarded by • bow or smile
from the Queen or some member of the royal family.
On reaching the platform her Majesty and the princesses
were received by Mr. Kelley, the divisional superin-
tendent, and Messrs. Burlinson and Matthews, of the Great
Western Railway, and conducted to the @sloop, the Queen
very courteously returning the loyal salutation of the
bystanders. Immediately afterwards, at 12.10 p.m., the
special left the station ►nd proceeded at a rapid pace to the
Paddington terminus, which was reached at a quarter to
1 o'clock.

At Paddiogton, both inside and outside the gates of the
station, large crowds of spectators were assembled.
On the arrival platform • large crimson carpet was
spread in front of the portion where the train was to
stop. and on each side of this barricades, covered with
crimson cloth, were erected, behind which a large number
of elegantly-dressed ladies ani many gentlemen were
congregated.
As soon as the train paused her Majesty and the
princesses left the train and passed across the platform, on
which was stationed Mr. F. Saunders, the secretary, Mr.
Kelley, and Mr. Gibson (the two latter gentlemen having
accompanied the train), to their carriage, the Queen and
princesses bowing on retiring to the salutation of the spec-
tators.

The Queen was dressed in mourning, her cape being
trimmed with deep crape, the princesses, however, each
wore light dove-coloured watered silk dresses, with black
velvet mantles and straw boonets, with roses.
Her Majesty and the princesses return to Windsor this
evening, and will leave Paddington at a quarter past 5
o'clock.
