ITER VERY RRV. CUARLES 13 LOWDEN, P.S.I.

On the 13th of last month died. on his return to England
from Rouse, the Very Rev. Dr. Chink* Plow/den, P.S.J.
demi-Wed in • direct line from the celebrated Cetinjenor of
his name, in the reign of Elizabeth (who by his superior
taleuts and leirriinz foiled Dr. Horse, with the other
enemies of the Catholics, in their attempt to bring his pre.
decent,' in the See of Louden, Bishop Rouser, within die
penalties of the Act of Supremacy, and thereby obliged
Parliament to pass • post fortune law, enacting thit the
Established Clergy should be deemed and should be Bishops
•nd-Prieittc), the subject of this memoir did not fall short of
his renowned ancestor is acuteness of perception, or soli-
dity of judgment, or firmness in the true faith. Aboodouing
at a tender age the comforts of his paternal home at Plow-
den Hall, in Shropshire; he embraced ; be moil ifitel and devout
course of life subsisting in the:English College of Si. Omer's,
and afterwards at Bruges. 1n these .celebrated establish-
ments, he swatted like a giciht in Air coarse, outstripping his
comrades is every literary sod virtuous pursuit, and esti-
mating his pupils to similar exertions.
At length the Janseuistical Ministers of the Emperor
Joseph, hiving completed abroad the irreligious destniction
which the misbelieving Ministers of Louis XV. had begin,
our accomplished Missionary returned to his own country,
to devote himself, nutlet the direction of his ',priors, to
the divine work of'sseing souls. Seine placed by them in
the distinguished family of the {Veld., of Lulwurth Castle,
in Dorsetiphire) be manifested the eticary of his instructions
and ixitople in the eminent piety and other virtues, which
the several members.Of that family evinced; no less than
three sons, and as many daughters of it successively re-
lihquisbiog the blandishments of their distimmdalsed situa-
lieu in the world, in order to devote themselves to a life of
retirement, mortification, and devotion. In fact, the Rev.
Charles Modem was a model of every moral mid religions
virtue; in particular I e was distinguished by shit fervour and
punctuality of his devout exercises as a privet mid religious,
by birzeal to promote the happiness of his fellniCereaNeee,
and by Isis humble and perfect siihmis.ion to his herivil su-
periors is Church and Stale.
A violent cosiest arising about the year 1790, hetween
certain distinguished Lay Catholics in England, ruder the
guidance of Charles Butler, Esq. on the one hand, and the
Winer. Apostolic and other Catholics on the other, concern-
ing the oath and restrictions proposed as conditions for
obtaining the first degree of their Emancipation—the
leagued and zealous Missionary consulted the real interests
of the former no less than the just authority ~f the latter, by
demitastrating in his" of the Oath." his " Aunties to
the seemed Mrs Rook," and his " Reply to the Memoirs df
Poisson'," and his other works, the heterodox and seisms-
tical uatureof those proposals, and of the attempt made by
certain titled Members of the Catholic Committee to induce
the body they professed to represent to tread in the footsteps
of the French deistical sad revulmiosery assembly, who at
that time cast off the necessary authority of the Pope in the
appointment of Catholic Bishops ; and when Doctor Gibson
sad Doctor Douglass were appointed to that station and
dignity in the Northern and Soulheeu districts of England,
he prevailed on his friend, Mr. Weld, to open his splendid
castle and chapel of Lutwoeth for their reception and coast-
cration, while the houses and chapels of the other distill-
guished Catholics of England were shut against them, apt'
their jurisdiction by sassy denied. He afterwards proestia'
by his influence over the great sod good Bishop Walaissiey,
Senior Vicar Apostolic ef England, that • Sysiodlihould be
held in Englund, in which the errors allsoied to above,
together with those of Dr. Geddes, the Rev. Joseph B--ns,
and other irsovators of the day, were pointed out to the
faithful, Ana severely censured; the publication of which
was deputed to his friend Doctor Milner.
His upright and active mind was uniformly and equally
employed, during the remainder of his life, in promothig the
glory of Ged, the advancement of religion, aid the peace
and welfare of his country, as his writings will demonstrate,
should his friends, to whom they belong, determine on pub.
fishing them. Yet with all these claims to general affection
and support, it was the will of our All-wise Father to per-
mit that his faithful awned should be tried by severe perse-
cution., and this em the pest of those very personages whom
he had most zealoosly efficieetly served: for while some
eminent hut ill-i imisters of State employed every
resource la t nnoy him and his friends, as
supposed country and of society—among
other man obliged mem is power at Rome to with-
draw thefigiseited protection from him.
Too 'them, of his Catholic brethren and superiors, sad
especielity those whoree most indebted to him, combined to
mist resent him andlis brethren as disorderly oppugns-
tors of that ecclesiastical authority and hierarchy, sad of
the peace of Catholic*, of which they were the scatters advo-
cates sad firm support. It was this latter calumny and per-
mention which chiefly broke the great mind and feeling heart
of the illustrious Charles Powder, without, however, dl-
mislabels( the submission of his soul to the divine ordinance,
aad which immolated Ibis good man on the altar of the
cross, under the imputation of crimes the most repugnant
to his disposition cad conduct. He died, as has bees said
before, on the 13th of June in the prevent year.—R. J. P.
