LONDON, TUESDAY, OCTOBER 14.

CARDINAL WISEMAN is an acknowledged master
of the unctuous-malignant style of composition. His
pastorals and mandates are models of tumid
meekness and pompous suavity, rising occasionally
into holy wrath. There is an odour of the fatness of
a bleeding and smoking sacrifice in those unwieldy
phrases and swollen periods. The language he
writes is something half way between icatonical
Latin and high-flown parochial English. It has
neither the calm plain sense of the Anglo-Saxon,
nor the polished acerbity of the French, nor the
sombre fervour of the Spaniard ; his diction com-
bines the swagger, the hiss, and the scowl of the
demagogue, the pamphleteer, and the inquisitor,
with the cloying sweetness of the spiritual director,
and the sour humility of the Prince of the Church,
whose lot is cast in a land of unbelievers.

The roll and rumble of one of these Archiepiscopal
Charges is Elm the ponderous jolt of one of those
monstrous specimens of ecclesiastical coachbuilding
in which the Successors of the Apostles take an

airing round about the Holy City. - And yet how
often have we heard foreign ecclesiastics, imper-

fectly acquainted with the English language, ask
whether " Fabiola " was not considered in England

a literary masterpiece t We could never find it
in our hearts to hint a doubt whether the merits
of "Fabiola" were sufficiently familiar to the

ii 1

population of these islands ; but to such a pro-
duction as the CARDINAL ARCHBISHOP'S short ex-
hortation to his "Dear Irish Children," we gladly
render the homage of a careful and critical
perusal. One trifling circumstance, which is cal
ciliated to exalt the merits of this fond and feeling
exhortation, is the date of its appearance. Let us
look a little closely at this. There is something
unusually edifying in the phenomenon of a Car-
dinal Archbishop of Wrsratissrra,who never signs
and seals a pastoral without setting an example of
breaking the law, coming forward to implore his
dear children of ST. PATRICK to respect it. But it
is the time and manner of its appearance that
impresses on this exhortation a peculiar sin-
cerity. On Sunday, September the twenty-eighth,
as our readers remember, a public meeting was
announced to be held in Hyde-park, for the pur-
pose of enabling the working population of London
to express their sympathies for GARIBALDI and for
the Roman people. There was never the slightest
pretext for the supposition that the holders
of the meeting meant to discuss any religious
question whatsoever, still less to insult " the re-
" ligion of others." It may be convenient for a
Cardinal in London, as it is convenient for a Car-
dinal at Rome, to confound two questions essen-
tially and entirely distinct, and to treat tho na-
tional rights of the Roman Catholics, properly so-
called—that ia, of the Catholic citizens of Rome, as
the Protestant majority in these islandsonce treated
the national rights of the Catholics of Ireland, as hos-
tile to the dominsuatfaith and Church. But this arbi-
trary and violent confusion of spiritual and temporal
is a mystification too gross for English common
sense. We are far from saying a word in favour of
the practice of holding public meetings for any
purpose in the Parks on Sundays, or indeed on
week days. We do but insist upon the self-evi-
dent fact that the promoters of the so-called GA-
Amman meetings had nothing whatever to do with
Church or faith, with Pope or Antichrist. The
religious pretext was imported into the Park by the
" Dear Irish Children," who, although they could
neither read nor write, were miraculously well
aware of the close relation between the rights of
the Roman people and the temporal sovereignty
of "Cstaisr's Vicar on earth," and who by a mira-
culous interposition of some local Providence
appeared on the ground in • compact mass, with
miraculous coin in their pockets, and miraculous
bludgeons in their hands, prepared to break the
heads of any of her MAJESTY'S peaceful subjects,
whether Catholic or Protestant, who should presume
to cheer the name of GARIBALDI, or move a resolu-
tion in favour of the emancipation of the Catholics
at Rome. The CARDINAL ARCHBISHOP'S dear
Irish children, with that tenderness of conscience,
that sensitive piety, for which the dear children
whom the Papal Minister at Arms despatches,
with daggers, rosaries, and revolvers, across the
Neapolitan frontier, to rob, burn, and ravish, are
equally remarkable, knew more about the ulterior
views of the Oaribaldian meeting than the Geri-
baldians themselves, and were resolved to put it
down with all the pious energy of dear children of
ST. PATRICK. And the dear Irish children were
at least as victorious as their gallant brethren
under LAMORICIERE. By their forcible and
weighty arguments they convinced the Garibal-
diens of the imprudence of attempting to hold a
meeting in Hyde-park on the following Sunday.
Accordingly it was advertised that no such meet-
ing would take place. On Sunday, October sth,
however, • vast multitude of idle people, with that
keenness of nose for which Britons are proverbial,
scented a shindy from afar, and with one accord
made towards the Park. No sign or symptom of
a Garibaldian meeting there was the Papal
army of the children of ST. PATRICK panting for
the fray, and there was the CARDINAL ARCHBISHOP
