This is plain enough, in all cosseience, but Dr.
GLIATHOREE'II commentary or glow is still plainer.
That prelate had been, be says, " immediately en-
gaged in negotiating the re-establishment of our
episcopal hierarchy;" and he goes on thus :
Bat the foresee laws and usages of our church been left as
such %mob's/Med, we might, es bishops, have been subject
to perplexities in the performance of our duties, not only
with reference to what might Or wleht not still remain in
force, but also by being incwvbered with regulations no
longer applicable to our circuiputsnces. We are now left to
cmfirm anew whatever local regulations and customs may
be still ez-tedient ; we are freed in our ministrations from
those which are not ratable, and we have the whole " jos
• 'mamas" to draw from for what may be further required
other word, his Holism leaves us as catholic bishops to
legislate for 'vilifies's pwrposes as WI Eta EXPEDIENT
WITHOUT ENT TIE PEON TES TAIT.
That is to say, the canon law is repealed in their
favour, and they may keep it so, if they please.
Torte are, however, tram mdous powers, and the
put history of the episcopal resistance to the consti-
tutional classes of the Roman Catholic clergy and
people of this country gives much cause to fear that
they will not be need but in the in'erset of episcopal
authority. Cardinal WISEMAN, above all, is tot the
man to neglect the present occasion ; and if the POPE,
to use his soffragan's words, has thus relieved him of
all " tie from the past," he is too wary to subject him-
self to any tie from the future. The cases of MAC-
DONNELL, TRAPPE.s, BOYLE, and otter secular clergy-
men, ought to satisfy their brethren how dangerous
athing it is for them to oppose themselves to the
private views or opinions of their cardinal. Nor are
the monks and Jesuits in a better position than they ;
for, by the above passages, extracted from the POPE'S
Rescript, all privileges of churches and pious places,
whether customary or of papal or of synodal grant,
are henceforth abolished. What temporal conse-
quences titly flow from these changes they have yet.
to learn; but their experiences should satisfy them
that when tho two ends proposed by his Holiness,
viz., the good of religion and the advantage of the
prelates, come into collision, the first is not always
preferred.
We have before us the petition of complaint pre-
sented in 1844 to the late Pope GREGORY XVI. by a
huge body of English catholic', comprising some of
the highest names in the peerage, baronetage, and
gentry of England, and setting torth the particulars
of a grievance which, as it appears to us, was as clew
a prermunire as ever was perpetrated. The petitioners
state the Roman catholic churches ant chapels in this
metropolis to be so f w and so small as to make it
" physically impossible for the catholic inhabit-
ants even to enter them for the purpose
of hearing mass on a Sunday ; and the number
of priests to be so limited, that more masses are said
every day in the year in the single church of the
Graft at Rome than in the whole of London together
upon a Sunday;" and they feelingly complain of the
consequent spread of ignorance and irrel.gion amongst
their poor. They then go on to express their readi-
ness to contribute largely towards the erection and
maintenance of a new Jesuit church then contem-
plated in the place of toe Portuguese chapel, which
had for some years been closed; but they add that
" they have learned with great sorrow that your
Holiness objects to allow the Jesuit missionaries to
have such a church in London, except upon the con-
dition of paying yearly to the vicar-apostolic or his
clergy the sum of sixty
.pounds, though, at the same
time, the said missionaries are to be precluded from
receiving parochial fees, and their number of prio rte
exercising faculties is to be limited to four." This
enormous exaction, they hint, demands "greater
sacrifices of the intending subscribers than many
of them, not being resident in London, are
disposed to make ;" add, on their side, the
Jesuits, precluded from the receipt of parochial
fees, will not be able to support it, if it be true,
as alleged by the vicar apostolic, that even with those
fees hisclergy cannot maintain themselves adequately,
unless they have this annuity of 601. in audition.
They will either have to collect at once the capital
sum of 2,0001.—if the demand be persisted in—before
a stone of the new church can be laid ; and this they
can only do by an appeal to common charity ; or else
they must periodically trust to that charity to meet
the accruing payments of the annuity ; in either cue
"distracted from their holy mission and exposing
themselves to the suspicion that " When they exhort
the people to do their duty in providing liberally for
their pastors, they are not uninfluenced by their own
worldly interests."
The Pontiff was willing, but the court of Rome
was deaf. The "good of religion" was not to be
preferred to the "advantages of vicars apostolic."
Tba annuity of 601. was inexorably levied from the
siasisearies, as the sole condition on which the Fo-
rma church extension was to be granted. It confi-
ned to be paid into the episcopal treasury of London
daring the vicariat of Dr. GRIFFITHS, and we sup-
pose that it continues to form a portion of the reve-
nue' of hie successor, the Cardinal Archbishop.
If an oppression like this was possible at a time
when the few privileges and customs of the English
catholic church still subsisted, and, above all, when
the influence of its religious communities might have
been employed at the court of Rome to countervail
that of the bishops, we may leave it to theme, lyre,
most directly interested in the matter, to say whether
now that those privileges and customs are clean abe,
fished, and the infineoos of the replan is by the in-
vestiture of the bishops with their new ordinary juris-
diction, deprived of all practical importance, the
example is likely to be forgotten or disregarded.

M4DRI

The ablegate of the Pope has taken leave of the
Queen. The budget is expected to be awn laid before
the Cortes.
M. Martinez de la Rosa, the Spanish ambassador
to the court of Rome, who had just arrived in Madrid
from that city, took his set in the Senate on the 23rd,
and, in the coarse of the debate, made a speech in
which he defended the intervention at Rome, and
maintained that the head of the chtirch was entitled
to support al a temporal se well u a spiritual sove-
reign. He added that the Sovereign Pontiff was dis-
posed to Nip a concordat on mare advantageous terms
for Spain them she had ever enjoed, and that the
parchseers of national property had no ground for
alarm, as nobody entertained an idea of questioning
their rights.
