THE EXPRESS, FRIDAY EV

on the other side of St. George's ChanieL That 1 :
some lingering apprehension of this Usti die.
turbs with half-suppressed doubts and, hall-dar-
conscious fears the breasts of not a /few
honest Liberals who would fain do ,'perfect
justice to their Irish fellow-subjects, and obli-
terate the last traces of au evil past 'as the sister
kingdom, it is idle to deny. Of °angrier, in whom
nobler qualities of energy and oou gage are allied
with the tierce passions and hs'aeds, which the
memories of conquest and conti.agation engender,
and violeat traditions make }hereditary and per-
petual, there is no need to say more than that when
they cease to represent a d omination or a caste,
they will probably becon:e better missionaries of
a gospel of charity. ,of fanatics of the
MURPHY and FLYNN I' fecies it is enough to
remark that they wou' 4 sully and profane the
purest cause ; ruffian; am like theirs can have
no other effect than to surround the victims of
their brutal outrages with that halo of martyrdom
of which the Church . of Rome knows all the value.
It is to men who a• ..e neither fanatics in religion,
nor reactionists if, . politics, but who hold dearer
than all else in t !hunch or State the Protestant
faith they have inherited from their forefathers,
and desire to h and it down unimpaired to their
descendants, t' sat we would address these few
words of tune] y suggestion and encouragement. Let
us frankly av, ..iw that we understand and appreciate, '
and even s ympathise with, the spirit of their
misgivings. if we could cease to be convinced
that, how ever just and true in spirit, these mis
givings :ae not only founded on a totally mis-
taken conception of facts and circumstances, but
are, ND to speak, mere optical illusions, we
should be, in spite of any party predilections
and associations, as bitterly opposed to the disesta-
blishnient or disendowment of the Church Estab-
lishment in Ireland as Mr. CATHORNE HARDY, the
Bench of Bishops, or Mr. DISRAELI himself.
It may be that some Protestant Liberals are per-
plexed and alarmed at the cheerful and congratu-
latory temper in which our Roman Catholic
brethren contemplate the coming change in Ireland.
Yet the fact that the Roman Catholics are
pleased at our doing an act of justice in their
behalf should not make singleminded and true-
i hearted Protestants hesitate to du it. Nor if those
Protestants to whom Roman Catholic contentment
i gives pain would only look a little further or a little
cheer into the relative positions of Prutestantisiu
and Roman Catholicism, nut only in Ireland but in
England and in Europe, would they fail to perceive
that at Rome itself, at the Court of the Vatican,
i in the Sacred College, at the Propaganda College,
and at the house of the Societyof Jeans, the removal
of the millstone of St it., pi ivilege from the Protes-
twit faith in Ireland, and of the privile.;e of quasi-
persecution and quasi-martyrdom from the faith
of the majority of the Irish people, is not
regarded with absolute satieaction, in
~ an ecclesiastical point of view, although in
; a political point of view it may be
I expedient and even necessary to conceal the mis-
gi‘ lugs which are felt in that quarter also.
I 1 Liberal Catholics (whom ultramontaniim hates
worse than heretics) join with Liberal Pro-
testants in the approaching consummation of a
great act of political justice in lrelamd ; but
I they do not conceal from themselves that the fail-
' ure of the Protestant Establishment as a missionary
Church in Ireland has resulted from its connection
with the State ; and that once released from the
trammels of the State, the spiritual and moral energy
I and enterprise of Irish Protestantism will compete
with the vast resources of the Church of Rome on
more equal because on fairer and freer terms.

I,W DELL mean by American principle, i ladle are

LIDDELL intended to convey by American numnere.
These sneers against ether nations in our Hatimaiof
Parliament explain the dislike of us oemeidesllo:-
premed abroad. To make American manners, or
the manners of any other civilised people, stand for
vulgarity is offensive, and in this case the reproach is
also unjust. Every recent visitor to the United
States who has taken the public into his
confidence afterwards, has spoken on the cha-
racteristic in question in opposite terms to those
Mr. LinimLL had the bad taste to employ.
Indeed, Mr. Mxi.m 'ELAN stated the other
day in a lecture delivered at Cambridge, that
during the whole of his recent tour through the
States, he did not once encounter the uncouth
being who was in Mr. LIDDELL'S mind as he
spoke. Mr. JAMES HOWARD, of Bedford, has
told the farmers very much the same thing, and
novelists, legislators, and government education
commissioners have drawn comparisons on the sub-
ject from their observations, in which the masses
of our population have not had the advantage.
That a conscientious and painstaking member of
Parliament like Mr. LIDDELL should resort
as a matter of course to a remark so calculated to
wound is to be regretted. Some of these apparently
little things do considerable mischief.

MUSIC.

MADAME ARABELLA GODDARD'S RECITALS.

The first of a series of three performances by
this eminent pisnist took place yesterday morning at St.
James's hall. The similar recitals given last year by
Madame Goddard included but a portion of Mendelssohn's
Lieder ohne whrte, but the scheme of the present series is
to comprise the whole, forty-eight in number, with the
eighth book, which was only published in November last,
besides the three Preludes and three Studies of the same
composer which appeared still more recently. Four
vocal 7leder• by Schubert, expressively sung by Miss
Annie Edmonds, well accompanied by Miss Lucy Murray,
were interspersed with the instrumental pieces. At the
second recital, on June 11, Madame Goddard will play the
recently published sonata in l 3 minor. composed by then-
delssobn when he was twelve years old—and at the third
recital, on June 25, his later and snore important sonata in
B Hat (also only just published) will be introduced.

MR. GLADSTONE AND THE EAST WORCESTER-

SHIRE ELECTION.

Au elector of Dudley observing a placard issued
by the conservative party in the town relative to the
present election, stating that Sir C. O'Loghlen vas an
ardent supporter of Mr. Gladstone, and further, that Mr.
Hemlen was also a supporter of that gentleman, wrote to
the leader of the opposition upon the subject. He stated
in his letter that the bon. baronet's motion relative to the
oaths and Mr. Reardea's proposition were being used
against Mr. Lyttelton and Mr. Gladstone. The latter has
forwarded the following letter in reply :
11, Carlton Houes.terrace, S.W., May N.
.. _. _ . . _

" Sir,—l have received ythr communication of yester-
day . . . . With respect to the placard —l. Sir C.
O'Loglilen made his proposal without my knowledge or ap-
proval. P. He does not propose to alter the Coronation
Oath at all, but a declaration quite independent of it,
which the law now requires no one to take except the so-
vereign. 3. The security for the religion of the Queen by
law is the provision that she shall be &communicant dike
church of Ragland, and shall not marry a member of the
church of Rome. 4. Mr. Rearden is no supporter of mine or of
the liberal party. As far as I know he has voted against us
upon the most interesting and important questions except
that of the Irish church. 5. All Mr. Lyttolion's friends
should make it known that Mr. Catlett is to support this
government. Now, this government proclaimed ten weeks
ago that they were friendly to religious equality in Ireland,
provided is was brought about by endowing the other
churches, including the Roman, in Ireland, and sot by dis-
endowing the protestant church ; and by way of earnest
they proposed at once to create a Roman catholic univer-
sity, and pay its expenses out of the taxes of the country ;
whereas we say take away the establishment that now
exists, and male no more in Ireland.—Yours faithfully,
" W. R. OLADsross."

It will be seen that the following liberal mem-
bore voted against Mr. Graham's amendment last night,
and substantially for the government proposition of the
minority rote :—Messis. E. Akroyd, It. Aytoun, A.

Lord Moho intends, after Whitsuntide, to calf

Oath.
