TIIE JESUITS.

At a time when the learned and !reliant society of the'
Jesuits are again extending their influence in Europa, the
following account of the foundation of the Order will, we
are sure, be read with interest. It is copied from the last
number of The liefroxpectirt Review:—
The attention of the founder was now turned with anxiety to
the more complete organization of the society by establishing a
set of rules for its government and conduct. }or this purpose he
summoned his ten compftnions to Roe, and explained to them
the necessity of their being thrtned into a religious order before
they could achieve any important undertakings; whereupon several
ceoferences took place on the subject of their Institute, for although
Ignatius had already conceived the model, he would do nothing
without the consent of his brethron. While thus occupied, Igna.
tius and the rest of the society were called upon to oppose the pro.
great of a celebrated preacher belonging to the order of Augustine
hermits, who was active in the diaannination of the doctrines of
Luther. Their success was so complete, that the disarowi
friar empld'yed a person who had been refused admission into the
society, to accuse Ignatius, of being a heretic, and of having been
burnt in effigy at Aleala, Peels, end Venice. By a fortunate coin.
cidenre, the persons before whom lie had been accused at those
places were, at that were time, at Home, and bore ample testimony
to his orthodoxy and his accuser's perfidy. Ignatius demanded
that the Sentence should be judicially recorded, which; after con-
siderable delay and difficulty, he effected ; persisting in his en-
deavours to obtain it even against the opinion of some of his
friends, for he regarded it not so notch his own cause, as tint of
Christ and his companions.* Copies of this sentence were dis-
persed in different parts, eves as far as Spain.
The Institute being completed, he presented an abstract of it to
Pope Paul iii, who remitted the exaniination of it to three Cardi-
nals, one of whom made rest opposition to it a 3 an unnecessary no.
welly ; but by some influence (heavenly, the biographers ally), the
cardinal suddenly changed his opinions, the Pope confirmed the
Institute and also the society, under the title of The Society./
Jams, on the 27th September, 1640. The Pop authorised them
to make constitutions, Or 'ye-krier, for the good of their neighbour,
their own perfection, and the glory of Clod ; but limited the num- I
bar of the professed to sixty,--a restriction which, two years atter-
weeds, he removed. His Holiness now called into action the prof-
fend services of the new society. Several of them were despatched
into different parts of Italy on the necessary business of the church ;
Faber accompanied Ortiz, who had received orders front Charles V.
to be
_present at the Met of Worms ; and at the request of
John 111. of Portugal, Xavier was tent by Ignatius to the East
Indies, and Rodriguez to Portugal, Where he became superior of
the college of Coimbra, founded as a nursery of preachers for the
New World. The sanction of the holy See being thus obtained
for the Institetk Ignatius conaidered thee thessext important step
would be to choose e Superior; and, foethis purpose, he, with the
permission of the Pope, summoned to Rome such of his cam.
panions as were able to attend. After the usual kind of prepare-
don the society met, and all the VOWS were found to be fur Igna.
tins, except his own, which he gave to him who should hare most
suffrages, but still excepting himself. Ignatius, however, refused
to accept the office of General, on the plea that he, who was not
able to conduct himself, was not ft to conduct others. Tnis re-
fusal, as generally happens in such cases, Only confirmed the so.
ciety in their choice ; but, in deference to him, they agreed to •
new election, which, after four days of fasting and prayer, was
again determined In his favour. His disinclination, however, still
continued ; and it was not until he had obtained the sanction of
his confessor that he consented to accept the charge of the company,
which he did on Easter-day, 1511. .They made their profession the
same week, the Society to Ignatius, as their Generel and Chief, and
he to the Pope himself. They engaged to observe perpetual
Poverty., chastity, and obedience ; bead es a special obedience to
the Pope, with regard to missions t and they obliged themselves to
catechise children.
Having effected this important measure, the General next turned
his attention to the formation of a code of regulations tor the go-
vernment of the Society. The mode he adopted in writing his
Constitutions, was of the most patient and pains-taking kind. lie
first examined every article, and set down all the remota for and
against its adoption ; and having exactly weighed them on
each aide, and spent some time in prayer, he throe or refected the
article according to the strength or weakness of such reasons.
Upon one occasion, when, after ten days ososideration, he had nude
up his mind on one article, he still continued to meditate upon it
for thirty days together.
As theme Constitutions must hate considerable influence in de-
termining the character of the founder, we think it necessary to
give a brief account of the most striking parts of them. He twin_
menses by pointing out the object of the order, which was not only
doe cultivation and salvation of their own souls, but those of their
setighbours ; and proceeds to consider the two different forms of
life, the contemplative and active. in the first he includes mental
Ayer, the examination of conscience, the reading of scripture,
spiritual retirement, Ste. ; and in the second. every thing that
might contribute, to the perfection of their neighbours—preaching,
catechising, missions among Christians and infidels, maintaining
tootroversies against heretics, the direction of conscience, the in.
illWeiioll of youth, visiting prisons, &a lie then proceeds to the
principal qualities essential to obtain admission into the society—
such as good nature, fair talents, a vigorous constitucon a well
made person, and an engaging carriage : and although rank or for-
tune are not to be considered, when destitute of these qualities, he
recommends them not to be overlooked when they are united to
tltem. The strictest and most minute scrutiny is enjoined into the
connections and character of the candidate, as, far example, •he-
thee he was born in lawful wedlock, what was the situation of his
(study, whether he was an only son, and had any engagement of
marriage, or otherwise. The founder also prescribed a narrow ex.
aminatton of his disposition ; and, to render that examination ntore
perfect, the candidate is Interrogated with the greatest freedom by
the Superior, who is directed to observe that most profound secrecy
on the subject. If, after these preliminary steps, the candidate is
judged worthy of admission, he is asked whether he be willing to
be admonished by the Superior of all his faults ; and whether he
himself be willing to inform him, in the spirit of charity, of the
faults of others when required. These interrogations being satis-
factorily answered, the novice enters upon the spiritual exercises,
and assumes the ordinary Labit of the society. During the novi.
bate, which lasts two years, the novice does not study at all, ex-
rept learning something every day by heart, in order to cultivate
the memory. So that the first two years are exclusively devoted to
piety and charity ; in short, to the acquisitioo of solid virtue, more
especially humility and self-denial. The third year, the novice
entered upon the study of human learning, which, iu due course,
embraced all that rendered man learned and accomplished, not
even omitting the lighter graces of exterior behaviour ; but, at the
same time, regulating their a
Rennin.lication in such a manner, as to
e their constitution in full health and vigour. Rennin.
EM•
the impediments which his own exercise' of charity, his ill.
timed devotion, and voluntary poverty, had caused to his progress
in lean.ing, he directed that the students should not be employed
abroad, that the time of their prayers should be limited, and that
the colleges of the society should have foundations. Hut consi.
dering that study and speculation might abate the religious fervour
of the novice, he appointed another year of novitiate, in which he
should devote himself to the exercises of • spiritudlife, without
the lenst regard to human learning.
This constituted the tint degree of the Society, under the tide of
Scholars Approved. The second degree is, the Spiritual Coadju-
tors, who make all the roils, except the special vow of obedience,
with respect to missions ; and the third, the Fathers Professed:
In order to preserve the purity and utility of the Society, the tle-
enalreserved the power of dismissing such persons as were either
dissolute, or caused dissension, or contrived any thing against the
I Order. lie also directed that such as were, through idleness, wholly
useless, or had essential impediments, (tut not corporal infirmities
only) should be discarded. And for this purpose, although the Scho.
Ws Approved are bound to the Society, and the use, but nut the right,
of their property taken away, they, as well as the Spiritual Coadju.
ton, shall have dispensations (rout their vows, and their property be
punctually restored to them. In order to avoid singularity, and
to gain his disciples admission into all ranks of society, he did
not prescribe any uniformity of habit ; but ordained that it should
be decent, and according to the usage of the country in which they
lived, so that it were not contrary to religious lemony : and on the
same principle of giving full effect to his establishment, he deter-
mined not to command any auiteritica, leaving it to every one, to
act in that matter as his health and employment would permit.
%%lin respect to the Fathers Professed, who constitute the essential
part of the satiety, he obliged them never to seek after any supe-
riority in the society, and to maintain an exact observance of even-
' gelical poverty • not permitting the professed houses to have any
revenues, although he allowed the novitiates and colleges to enjoy
them ; and he also prohibited them, not only from seeking. di.
reedy or indirectly, any ecclesiastical dignities, anti from solicit-
ing any offices, but from accepting them without the command of
the head of the church.

We now come to the General of the Society, whose authority
he directed (influenced. probably, by his early notions of military
discipline) should be absolute, and for life ; two provisions equally
desirable for the purpose of carrying into effect great enterprises.
He was invested with the power of making Provincials, Supe-
riors of professed houses, and Hectors of colleges and novitiates :
and that the General might be perfectly acquainted with the state
of the society, and be enable:l to select proper instruments for his
design, the Superiors were obliged to send hint, once a year, an
account of thane under their charge ; and every three years a cats.
loque of the ages of every person to the province, with an account
of his talents, and his progress in learning and virtue ; but when.
ever a member of the society was about to be admitted to his degree
or elected to a superiorship, an extraordinary report was made ;
and, that the information might be such as the General could rely
upon, it was made by three different persons, who had no commu-
nication with each other.
In describing the qualities necessary for a General, Ignatius
is said to have undesignedly drawn his own character. To the ;
General were assigned, as his coadjutor, five assistants, bearing
the name of their respective countries, men of experience and ap.
plication, chosen by a general congregation of the whole society ;
their office was to assist him in his charge, and in some measure
to observe his conduct so that if he deviated from his duty they
had the power of calling a general congregation to depose him ; or,
if the evil would not admit of deley, they had the power to depose'
him themselves, having previously by letters taken the suffrages of
the provinces. Besides this, the treneral, as have all the superiors,
his near him a discreet person, chosen by the society, whose busi.
tress it is to admonish hint of any fault he may commit, but with
all possible respect and moderation. Ignatius also established a
variety of other rules to preserve the union, obedience, and depend-
ance of the society ; and, that the provincials and rectors might

have frequent and ready communication with him, anti that slay
one miel.t address him when he pleased, he ordained that the (le-
nem] should have a fixed habitation, and that Ina ordinary residence
should be at Rome. _

Such is the outline of the once far-famed Institute of Iptatiu. ,
than which nothing can be conceived better calculated tO organize
a power'el and effective body of men, with cultivated Wads and
sub;ued passions, possessing the gravity and decemea of the
, cloister without its sullenness and reserve, and the suavity and ac.
complishmeots of the world, without its vices or frivolity. That
there were exceptions to this character is not to be doubted, hut
pitch exceptions were rare ; and men in cases where vice had let
her seal on the heart of the priest, she veiled herself tinder an ea.
tenor of decency and modesty : and where amhition had fired the
imagination, its flames were shrouded within the temple of his own
breast. lint, if his example was less likely to offend. his designs
were mere difficult to permeate, and his misconduct more difficult
to detect consequently dismission from the society was leas likely
to mew. The founder, however, as far as perasible, provided
'against Audi an evil, by the srittpulniimeas and care with whit Is
the candidate* for admission were examined ; and cautious indeed
"-must have teen the youth s'oo could have so far veiled his natural
disposition, as to suppress sly indications of his illicit tendencies,
if they really bitisted, during the whole period of his novitiate, in a
place whew there were nunte.-9.ta eyes upon him, sharpened by ob.
serration and 'experience in the knowledge of character, to watch
and report then. Tier regolatioes display profound policy :
hut the wisdom of Ignatius is no where more conspicuous than it:
those provisions Which he made for the education, not only of the
novices, to which the attention of the weiety was for four or five
years Mier its establishment chiefly confined, but *fall such youths
as chose to enter themselves in their colleges.
The fine college of the Jesuits in Europe, for Xavieir had already
been put in possession of the seminary at tioa, was founded by
Francis Borgia, in the year 144:•-16, at Gandhi, and thither were
six professore sent by the General; and two years afterwards
, leges were isuddis'ieti at AI easing and Palermo in Sicily. The im-
portance of such establishments to the increase and Mateo of the
Society is too obvious to require pointing out; but it may not be
uninteresting to the reader, to give a few of the heads of his system
of scholastic discipline. The first thing to be attended to was to
render the children docile, and to subdue untractable tempers:
and for this purpose, impartial.ty was required in the master, and
the hope of honourable distinctiom, or the fear of mortifying hit.
miliatiors, were to be held out to the scholars, a mode of treatment
much more efficacious thkn blows. Oracle means ware first to he
tried, exhortation and friendly reproach, but on no occasion
contumeliotis language, haughtiness or affronts; the matter wart
no; to use eitheir inverthreor words towards any of the boys which
would degrade them in the eyes of their companions or themselves.
In inquiring into trespasses, too minute an investigation was to
be minded ; and for the prevention of great faults, small ones
west be hounsitnes overlooked ; but, if in any case the infliction
of corporal punishment was considered indispensable, the hand of
some tndifferent person mum be called into action ; the hand of the
master should only be used to impress gratitude and respect. In
the distribution of rewards, no other distinction than that of merit
was to be regarded ; the very 'suspicion of partiality to rank or
fortune would frustrate the effort of rewards, and create jealousy,
indocility, and disgust. The finester's equal attention was due to
all ; he mast never cheek the activity of any by indifference, not
wound their aelf.love by contempt. Hut, in planting the seeds of
human learning 'en the minds of the students, the principles of re-
ligion were to be carefully impressed upon their hearts. Nov was
any thing omitted in the Institute that might perfect the system of
education, and render men not rail y fit for the closet, but for inter.
course with the world ; to make then, not only learned, but well.
bred, polished, and gentlemanly. For this purpose the master was
to watch with care every creeper against the rules of civility and good
mincers, to correct falsehocet, detraction, and swearing. It was his
duty to form the manners of his pupils to decency modesty, and
politeness ; to correct their errors in language, their faults in pro.
mention, their awkwardness in gesture. their coarseness in 14.
haviour ; no less than to cultivate theft understanding and rept-
late their imagination. All the leaning and priEtz: literature of the
time were taught in their schools, and upon the beet system. The
various duties of the founder did not prevent him from promoting
study anoiegst the members of the society, and, that he might
hitmelf judge of the progress made by them, he directed the pro-
fessors of the colleges to send him the theses of philosophy and
divinity, together with the compositions in prose and verse of the
young regents, without their being looked over or touched by any
body else. By masters thus prepared, by pupils thus fo.m:sl, well
might the influence and I:inn:ben of the society increase ; well
might Lord Ilium exclaim, Corrode *cholas Jessitorli vs.

COURT OF CHANCERY', SATURDAY, Frs. 7.

COVENT GARDEN TIII:ATRE—JUDO3IENT.
CONST V. ITARRIS.
The LORD CMANCELLOR pmendtd, on taking his seat this
linen& in his jadpnent of this long pending cause. and com-
tt> °berrying that has irg yesterday read at length the *bole
of the bill and Lineman., the that question arose as to what was
fire eor duet of parties immediately subsequent to die dad of 1812.
With respect to that deed, he should say no more than this, that he
tad never settle deed in which the parnWar application of the
fund was more distinctly tied irrevocably Mmd. At the some time
tonsiderable difficulties might hare arisen with nspect to it it it
NO bens made the subject of investigation in a Court of Equity, as
it did Cot provide in any way :or the appointment of a Ma: aiier to
the Theatre.
Mr.4aines stated that there was a separate deed executed, under
whith *e late Mr. Harris wasappointed Manager, with a salary of
telleL • year.
Tbr Loan I'IIANCELLOR was not aware of that circumstance,
tikitig it that the 'towers of that deed were at an red, and that
I.:a/lager was appointed without due consultation of all parties
t -twee ted, it certaudy would have been a shorter way than filing a

-1 bee tin.: he had no right to manage the attain of the theatre; aid
tier said to the treasurer "it is at your own peril if you apply
le flirts od.erw ise than a:cording to the deed of 1812." If then

tit properly sanctioned by subsequent conduct, a question arose

sees of Ist3, unless it could be *hewn that that contract betted an
pr...pctAtirs? There could not be the least doubt in the wend
tt eot.as the trusts of the deed of 1812 Lad been aimed by

..becquent conduct, lie. Brendan, the &ma treaaurer,
at aistberised to apply one farthing of the money to any other
.:n.os:: than those expressed in the deed of 1812. In ordi-
t iry p:cdnerthipe them was no principle more clear than thin—that'
it there had been a long flourse of dealing, or indeed any dealing at
all, the partners might change the terms of the partnership, either
II whiten agreeenuat or by conduct. It happened every day that
twins of paruic.ship were thus altered • as. for instance, if it was
agreed among them that no one of them should :tempt a bill of '
exchange, that agreement might be altered by subsequent conduct,
and bills might tie every day accepted. The same principle, then.
iras :.prilicable tat the present case; and if the subsequent conduct
of tics parties shewed that the agreement of 1812 was not adhered
to it would be tales that all the patOes had agreed to alter it.
With respect W die present plaintis Mr. Coils:, there could be no
doubt i;ut the: ho was bound, for his own intreest, to protect his
life eseete, ,lie, go executor of the will of Mrs. Martindale, to
guard her 6,4110, ; but there Was as little doubt that, if it omld he

departure troni the terms of the writteu agreement of 1812.
and to a substitution of It, those who claimed under her could
1:0J strictly bunad by her acts. On the other Land, it was not
enough for those parties, under ths deed of 11122, to say
(supposing no such intermediate conduct had intervened), •••

doctrine that a majority of partners could do what they pleased,
without such general consuhatteu, never could be admitted in any
Court of Equity. As to Mr. Robertson, every body hail spoken
with the greatest respect of that gerli.ktuau ; but d the lessees
under the deed of 1822 had chosen either 31t. James or himself
Lord KWon) as tteasurer, yet 31r. Cutist had a perfect right to
say '" isl rut allow either of you to act." Even supposing,
thiretbec, that Mr. Robertson was the fittest person in the world
to fill the situation of treasurer, yet it was impossible for
a Court ut Equhy to say that he had been duly appointed.
His Lordship Weil referred to the various athnarits which
bad been filed by Alf. Const, and by 31essni. Ketrible,
AV diet, and Forbes, and was desirous of knowing what were the
eirceouidemea upon which the Counsel for the lessees of seven_
eighths relied, prior to the deed of 111 2, as having varied, and to
wnet extent, and in what particulars, the agreement of 1142 ?
The allegation of ignorance made on the part of 3lessrs. Kimble,
Millen, and Forbes, as to the deed of 1814 be deemed to be of no
we:ght, for the miaow he had stated yesterday. 11 hat they were
bound to, they must be taken to know • and without entering
into the question whether it was ditlailt or easy for them to
know it, it dim not in any manner alter the obl4,•ations of law,_ as
they could take no more than Alr. llartis had to give them. With
feepect both to Ala Thomas Harris, the father, and Mr. Henry
Harris, the son, who were managers of this concerts, if these ap-
pointments took place without any forms whatever, the other par-
ties standing by, he should say, that non-opposition amounted to
acquiescence in such appointment ; but if the owners of seven-
e:ghttis had appointed a manager, without consulting the other one-
eighth, and u question had arisen immediately, whether the party
elected was a proper manager, the Court would then have ordered
a new manager to he appointed. This observation equally applied
to Mr. flobtrtaon, the present treasurer. The motion suleniued to
the Court by. she he observed, embraced two Aimee •
Ist, the appouttnicut of a new treasurer ; and 2dly, as to the sp-
litcation of those funds after the appointment of such treasurer.
His Lordship conceived that it was but a fair attention to 31r. Ho-
bertvon's situation to intimate to him, that it was for hint to con.
side whether he could (and upon what grounds he supposed he
coald) apply th.rse funds otherwise than according to the oblige.
taws of the deed of 1812. He certainly did not at present see how
he could in say wey consider Mr. Robertson M treasurer at the
present moment. Upon the whole consideriation therefore of this
ease. be had no difficulty in explaining to those gentlemen who
were interested, that it would be greatly to their advantage to quit
tWs Court as soon as possible. His Lordship added—lt may be
unaidered that lam travelling out of my course in making this
recommendation ; but atter having sat here so king, it is one of my
burst satisfactory recollections (it indeed I can recollect any portion
et my conduct with satisfaction), that, in partnership concerns, I
Lever heave ventured to interfere without giving the parties an op-
portunity to turn Chancellors themselves. He had thought
a great deal upon this case, and he could not conceive that
Alr. Robertson was safe in paying the sum of 1,3001. under
the conditions of the deed of 1812. The owners of the Bei en-eighths
Lad audertaken to pay Mr. Harris 1,5881. a year, and had
thus as he understood it, taken upon themselves to apply the prJ-
portien or Sh. Coast, as well as their own. They were all part-
ners /12 the concern, and ought to be treated as partners acting tone
tide towards each other. If, then, the conclusion was, that Mr.
RAW:mon could no longer be conur.urd in the office of Treasurer,
the 'question arose, whether it became that duty of the Court
to appoint one ? Ile would on this subject say no more than this,—
that it nothing could be said that would erns: the effect or this
reasoning upon his mind, it would be the duty of the Court to ap-
point a receiver, if the parties could not appoint one, themselves,
according to the true intuit and meaning of the deed of 1812. COO-
si4ering therefore the mature of this property, and reflecting on the
regret which parties would ulti:nately feel, that Covent-ganlen
Theatre had been brought into Lincoln's Inn Hall, he thought the
most advisable course would be to allow the proprietors to call
a meeting to appoint a treasurer wrong themselves. The
parties would then inform the Court what had passed ; and if
it was not satisfactory, he would appoint a treasures him.
u.W. Tins meeting he directed to he convened on Monday se'n-
eight.
lie. MAT observed, that a meeting had been convened, in
which tire or six had concurred. He wished to know to what ex.
teat the matter was concluded by his Lordship's judgnient n hen

the deed of tan. . .

The LOAD CHANCELLOR raid, that there were many parts of
that deed might be acted upon, and many ti.e Court would not suf-
fer to be aci.d epon.
Mr. Haar intimated, that with reference to the settlement of
matters out of Court, there were two courses only to be pursued.
The Loan CHANCELLOR Intended that the parties should do
that for themselves which the Court would be otherwise bound to

➢lr. Haar stated, that ever sieve May last, this UMW had been
before the Court, and during that time three quarterly payments
