THE DAY'S NEWS

At an annual allocution of the Sovereign Pon-
tiff, allusion wa§ made by the Pope to the censure
• ny the National Itsserably of 8919 n 4
against the Papal Government. After regretting
this circumstance, his Holiness expressed a hope
that the people of the Romagna would speedily
resume their allegiance to the Holy See.

If an opinion is to be formed from the variety

of rumours current on the Continent, particu-
larly in Paris,- the affairs of Italy do not seem to
have made much progress in the way towards a
settlement, far less towards a satis factory arrange-
ment of what is probably, for want of a better
name, called Italiin independence. The difficulties
of any permanent settlement being come to, are,
it is generally believed, greatly exaggerated by
the impression which evidently seems to weigh
with the Emperor of the French, that he is fated
to carve out and secure a place in which his

nephew may found a dynasty.
The more recent information afforded as to the
misunderstanding between this country and the
United States, furnishes good reason for believing
that the dispute will riot .be of more than a tem-
porary nature, and that it will not, lead to any

estrangement between the two countries

netly states, that his ob.

ections to

rates, or any compulsory payments whatever to the
Established Church, are not political alone, but
also religious. He was asked by Lord PORTMAN,

whether he considered tithes a compulsory pay-

ment, in the same sense as rates, and his answer

was, "I have been led to see a distinction between
the two." In reply to the Bishop of London's

piestiori

Have .yeii not stated that it is the

"view of Certain non-.conformists, that they
." regard Church Establishments altogether as
" things which are injurious to religion ? " His
reply was,—" Ido believe so." " And that ulti-
" mately," further asked the Bishop, " they may

" hope in the extreme future to find an opportu-
nity of taking the property which is now
" appropriated to the Establishment, and applying
"it otherwise ? " To which he answered,—" This
"" would certainly be the course of events, if they

" shape themselves as no doubt many sanguine
" minds are anticipating." Now we
_have here,
at least, a frank declaration of what the members
of the miscellaneous denominations of dissenters
desire ; and surely this should rouse all Church-
men from that torpor and supineness which have

fallen upon them,—clergy and laity alike,—upon
this subject.

Archdeacon HALE having proposed to their
Lordships that a commutation of the Church-rates
should be thrown upon the owners of property,
he was asked what he meant by this term.
•" I -mean," he replied, " owners and long

And this payment, he went on
to explain, he would enforce by law—sanction
it by an Act of Parliament, which, he thinks,
would be passed, if the rights and claims of the
Church were properly countenanced by high autho-
rity, and allowed to be justly followed up. This
is one of the most practical prepositions made to
meet the case. There are. other modes suggested,
and one by Mr. SOTHERON Es.Tcou'RT. His

the will and preference of the

majority, which the quasi-religious mob are

the solemnities of religious worship, a protest
against the contravention of the Church's pre-

scribed rule of worship, or against the contraven-
tion of popular tastes, and disregard of mob-

supremacy ? Is it that noble Shibboleth of old,

Nolu»zus leyes Anylice ,nutari

" You. shall

not adopt your own means of propagating religion,

but you shall acquire y6tir System- from the
custom which we have sanctioned, and indeed

occasioned ?"

Now—speaking as mere spectators, and not
going beyond the facts of the case—it is clearly

not a question of law, or Church prescription,
that the mob have put so decisively to issue, for
the very obvious reason that custom—whether
rightly or wrongly, but still by the admission of
all—has been allowed to override the written
system of service in the Church of England ; and
is, by the greater portion of that Church, consciously
and intentionally maintained in the supremacy

it has acquired. Nor are we going to question
the expediency of this liberty to supersede, or
violate, much of ecclesiastical precedent. No
one pretends to say that the general run of ser-
vices in our churches exhausts or,—even to any
great degree,—strives to fulfil the order laid
down in the Prayer-book. We see prescribed in
the Church's round of ritualism, an entire and
compacted system, from which nothing can be
more different than the custom of the great ma-
jority of our churches. Whether this system is
justly obsolete,—whether the present age has
found some adequate substitute,---whether any.
increased and keener apprehension, contracted by,
the spiritual sense of Englishmen throughout
the last two hundred years, has been, by degrees,
parting with ancient precedents, as it found
them incumbrances,---and as it more and more

culminates to its climax—as is seen, for instance,
at the present day—its work of substitution or
demolition naturally proceeds to the completion
of itself, it is not our province to discuss. It iP

less one of boundary than of right to defend

Americans were becoming very lawless,--very col"
temptuous of British rule ; and having subjected theme'
selves to arrest by the British authorities, they had give

the American Commander an opportunity of showing
sympathy with his countrymen, which he knew would
tell most popularly at home. Even this, however, inusk'

and any such usurpatiorl that has already been halt
recourse to, must immediately be redressed,

The master-builders in London have hot yet bees
brought to see the importance of withdrawing the °b.-
noxious "Declaration," which the workmen, not alto-
gether without reason, regard as tying them up ill

which, as Englishmen, they have a right to enjoy. '-
masters are evidently encouraged in their persistence t°
enforce the " Declaration" by the fact that it has already
