LONDON, THURSDAY, OCTOBER it.
Una is a mach more important question to be asked
thsa that ef whether the Pore has Imaged or tusked
es by the appointment of a Cardinal Arebbishep of
Westadaster. It is this,—whether the
Boma catholic. are really Mussing in sod

real teaching, encouragement, and nemultisee
answer to Ibis—and we make it with turret

aml.
shame-Is, that the numbers of the Romans
this sentry are increasing. Aad Sisk that
Nes fhb efforts of publie inquiry and el sesistment,
sight to be directed to this great Mt tied to its
sues, for it is quite timeless our ansthemaeleing as
many beyond our reach abroad, for events or evils
brought on by our own lathes, injustice or stupidity
at home.
The great examples of defection to the Roman ea-
Mho church have notoriously been furnished by the
universities. It is fr m them, our privileged schools of
theology , that have proctedelthe theories sad the views
which have precipitaied men into popery. And lead-
log minds having taken this coarse, the novelty and
attractive excitement atttndieg it have dragged
after them great numbers of the younger clergy
jut bleed from the universes& And these it is,
complete R man catholica in their hearts, though still
wearing the semblance and the robe of protsetastisee
externally, who are employed in mails, converts
amoopt their congregations to Catholicism, under
the express sanction of too many of oar enormously
paid hierarchy.
The fact is, the country is in progress of being sold
to Rome by the very institutions and the very guar-
dians which the state has appointed, end privi-
leged, and endowed. Aid the first inquiry should
be into these institutions. It has been their pingui-
bele, their monopoly, their oveebred distaste and
aversion for all that is popular in religion, that has
pecdaced the apposite extreme; and that opposite ex-
treme turns out to be popery. Had the universities,
indeed of being kept up solely to produce dilettan-
teism—had they been thrown open to the middle
emu their 'tether good sense and thole:lash
national feeling would have acted as an effectual anti-
dote to the revival of superannuated fantasies. But
as long se these colleges are mere @embarks or resi-
dences for the wealthy clams, and foe those who aim
at becoming clergymen, and beneficed clergymen,
ander the patronage of those classes, it is impossible
that England should have a truly national church or
a genuinely popular clergy.
The breaches by which Romeeism has forced its way
into the protestant citadel are two. One of them we
have just described, as having been effected in the
usiversitim themselves and in our very schools of theo-
logy._ The other breach has been made by the wedge
which Irish pauperism forme, and which is gradually
advancing its way amongst our workiog population,
sad from them into the class above it.
It is a ru'e, we believe. that the clues at the sum-
mit of ow social fabric di* off, and are replaced gra-
dually by those from below. Feudal law and practice
have done their utmost to counteract and arrest the
progrees of this upward movement. But its failure
has been too evident. What now cements@ the
lower clue will probably is a century later eseetitute
the middle me. Now one of the great enteetrato of
our population is Irish. Their few dessods, their
pliable tempers, their robust constitutions, fit them
fora vast extent of rough sad unskilled work in all
our towns, cooglomeratame. They are prolific, de-
spite of misfortune; some are prodeat, me moos,
and rise. Those have come to form large
lions is the midst of the Anglo-Saxon rroce.grir
may bout of having subdued Ireland, sad extirpated
Wheless The bout is idle. For what was sub-
dued and said to be extirpated is raising its bead,
taking its revenge and subduing and extirpating in
its turn, not with ,Castwat.i. cannon, bat with the
more powerful weeps' of peace propos
If, thee, we are seriously to set about set-
ups to Romanian, we mast repair the two
great breaches by which it has entered. We
mast look to the condition of Imbed, and
not leave to the Irish the terrible advantages
of ignorance and destitution. Far those it is
that enable the Irish to undersell with their
labour, and underwork by their perseverance the
Anglo-Saxon race in oar great cities. We have
hitherto complained merely of that ices of Irish,
whisk has segmented the poor rates of English
micas. Theme, however, are bat trivial elves of
thin invasion, compared with the more important
sent and religious soupiest&
At the same time we met: look to the universities.
Even before the late bacteria' mermaid, the effect
of the narrowing of the universities was manifestly to
sinew the church itself, and confine it more and
mere to the church of the well born end well con-
nected clauses. If the middle and the lower slue, esp.
daily ia tome, gradually empedfreen it, we most attri-
bute it seedy to the narrowneas of aaiversity

lLei to these it behoves government and parliament

on in its palmy, ascendant and well-endowed state,
is powerfully possessed of the means of attracting pro-
piety to itselL These means of absorption are a has-

where that chore is poor. Already, indeed, the Ro-
