ENGLISH ROMAN CATHOLICS.
The following "synodical letter of the Fathers as-
sembled in provincial council at St. Mary's, Oscott,''
has been forwarded to us for publication :
" We, the Archbishops and Bishops of the province of
Westminster, in provincial Synod assembled, to our
dearly beloved brethren and children in Christ, the
clergy secular and regular, and the faithful under our
jurisdiction.
" Health and benediction in our Lord Christ Jesus.
A few months ago we separately solicited your
prayers, and we enjoined public supplications, to obtain
tor ourselves the light and guidance of God's Tioly Spirit
in the Synod which had been Convoked and appointed to
he held by us on the 6th of July at St. Mary's College.
It is now our more pleasing duty conjointly to address
you before separating, to announce to you that Almighty
God has graciously
heard your prayers, and to claim
from you a tribute of sincere and cordial thanksgiving
to Him for His malty merciesd:testowed upon us. For,
although it would ill-become is to Teak with commen-
dation of anything that we hails donD, and according to
our Divine Master's commandi; we must needs say at
the conclusion of our work that we are only unprofit-
able servants,'* yet we may not be silent and withhold
from you a share in that joy and
gratitude which fill our
own hearts; because God has dealt kindly with us in
these days, which we have cheethilly devoted to our
highest duties.

For to Him we attribute the pace and cheerful-
ness,first Synod truly a meeting of brethren dwelling in
the union and charity, which live made this our
unity;t to Him we owe the edifying assiduity and ex-
actness with which all engaged in this holy work have
discharged their allotted functibns; to Him we refer the
calm, the impartiality, and the ;prudence which have dis-
tinguished the deliberations an conclusions of the theo-
logians invited to assist us; antt if it shall please Him
that there shall be found augleK wisdom or usefulness
in the decisions to which we have come, not to us, but
to Him and. Hisholy name, be, given all the glory.s
For on His promises we have relied, and to His light
we have looked, and not to our own unworthines,e,
for being rightly led to conclude what might please
Him best.

ON TRUE & FALSE SPERMATORRHCEA ;
with the View to the Correction of wide-spread Errors
in relation to the Treatment and Cure of Sufferers from Debility of the
Generative System, or Sexual llypochondriasis.
Translated from the German of Dr. PICKFORD.
"Dr. Pickford is known to English readers by his frequent practi-
cal contributions to German medical literature. This is the first
_ _

•ime, he informs us, that he has addressed himself to the non-medi-
cal reader. We trust this may not be the last, if he shall
detect any other equally flagrant evil which it may be in his
power to Correct."—London Medical Gazette, May 30, 1851.
—" The editor has conferred a great boon on the sufferers from this
distressing malady by translating this little book, and by laying bare
the scandalous practices of unqualified adventurers, who profess to
cure a disease of which they know nothing, with no other object
than to fill their own purses. The difference between true Sperma-
torrhcea and the various forms of disease which resemble it are
accurately described, and thus a safe guide is offered for the
treatment of the malady "—Medical Circular, May 5, 1852.
We have delayed so long upon the contents of the preliminary
chapter, that we have scarcely left ourselves space fbr any notice of
the subject specially treated of by Dr. Plckford ; but the moderate
price at wile' the brochure' is soil, places It within the reach of
every one interested in the matter."—llublin Medical Press, April
26,1852.

" And surely, dearly beloved, it is no small token of
the Divine favour, that after teeny
ages, during which
the synodical action of our holy church has been here
suspended, we should have been enabled so naturally,
and so easily, and with so much comfort and frait, to
re-assemble, and accurately perform whatever has been
prescribed for such solemn occasions,
and proceed in
peace and undisturbed calm till re brought our under-
taking to its joyful conclusion.
" Such mercies must not be passed by without
their merited exprension of gratitude; and we have
therefore appointed the coming festival of the Assump-
tion of the Blessed Virgin, Sunday, the 15th of August
next, for a day of general and solemn thanksgiving. On
it this our joint synodical letter seen be read and pub-
lished to our faithful people. In etch church or chapel
also there shall be performed an act of thanksgiving,
either at the close of mass or al benediction in the
evening. The Te Deum, with its iersicles arid prayers,
will be sung (or recited where no music is ordinarily
performed), and the prayer for thanksgiving will be in-
serted in every mass, under the alma =elusion as the
collect of the day.
" We earnestly invite you all, dearly beloved, to join
your hearts to ours in the warm an hearty discharge of
this duty of gratitude and love; fizb we feel assured that
you will agree with us in the cotviction that, through
this Synod, great rind lasting blessings have been be-
stowed upon the Catholic Church in this country, so
soon as the decrees and provisions therein made shall
be published and put in force. you are not ignorant
that the acts of a provincial council have no authority,
and therefore cannot be made pablic, nor can its de-
crees be enforced, until they shall have been submitted
to the correction and judgment of the Holy Apostolic
See, and so have received its confirmation. Until then,
whatever has been enacted necessarily remains suspended
and secret, but we trust it will sot be long before we
may. communicate it to you.
" But, in the meantime, we wish to impart to you
such fruit of our deliberations as does not come within
the limits of this stricter law,' and to address you upon
various topics possessing a religious interest, which we
think it timely and profitable to urge on your serious at-
tention. They will thus come before you with that
weight and authority which the united voices of all your
pastors can bestow.
" 1. The first and paramount subject on which we de-
sire to speak to you, as fathers conveying to their
children the dearest wishes andinterest of their hearts, is
the education of the poor. On this topic you are yearly,
and even more frequently, addressed by each of us; and
it is difficult to add to the repeated and urgent appeals
which are made to your consciences and your sympa-
thies. But the more the subject is considered the more
its importance increases, and the more we feel it our
duty to awaken your minds and hearts to its pressing
claims.

OUTRAGE.—Another of those revolting

South Wales, which has been hitherto singularly free from
heinous crime. Six young men, all agricultural labourers,

into custody, and examined before the magistrates at Pem-
broke, charged with having committed a rape upon the per-

"The education of the poor has always been con-
sidered as one of the most important duties confided to
the Church. But while, in every age, she has faithfully
discharged her obligations, it is clear that the manner
of doing so will vary with the circumstances of time and
place. Where faith is undisturbed and morality unas-
laded, where the war of life has to be with the inward
passions more than with the outward world, then tho
:.raining of the child in the way whereon he has to walk
is a simple task. The habit of divine faith gives a solid
groundwork for the building which has to be raised;
and simple instruction, line upon line, raises it up to the
required measure without hindrance or opposition. The
example of all around, the unanimity of their convic-
tions, and the repetition of identical principles, on'OPe-
rate with the early precepts, strengthen them, consoli-
date them, and help to keep unimpaired the foundation
first laid. But where on every side aggression has to be
encountered, where every stone that is added to the
building is contested, and has to be defended. where
not only counteracting but destructive influences
have to bo resisted, where not merely the super-
structure, but the very foundation must be se-
cured by endless precautions and multiplied safe-
guards, the duty of attendin to early educa-
tion becomes complicated and difficult, and requires more
serious thought, more time, more agencies, and more
vigilanc,4, than at other times, And such is our case
now. Except through a laborious education we cannot
guarantee to our little ones a single sound principle, one

worthy from obtaining so serious a trust. This plan,
the utility of which must, at first sight, be obvious, will
entail additional expense, and increase the demands on
the funds of the Poor School Committee. But we rely
on your sense of its vital importance for redoubled exer-
tions and augmented resources to meet this new
exigency.
" 4. While we thus turn our most serious thoughts to-
wards the education in sound faith and virtuous morals
of our poorest children, who are most exposed to the
evil arts and temptations of enemies, we cannot overlook
the wants of other classes no less dear to lI`J. Where
there is a sufficient Catholic population to warrant it,
we earnestly recommend the establishment of a middle
school, as it is called, in which a good commercial and
general education shall be given to the children of fami-
lies in a better worldly position. At present the youth

ex-
periment of establishing such a school as we allude to has
succeeded in several towns, and we beg both clergy and
laity to extend this great blessing wherever they see a
reasonable prospect of success.
" 5. We cannot leave the subject of education without
alluding to the noble effort that is being made by our
venerable and beloved brethren, the Bishops of Ireland,
for the establishment of a Catholic university. Acting
under the directions, and with the approbation of the
Holy See, seconded by the co-operation of their clergy
and their flocks, encouraged by the contributions of both
hemispheres, these zealous prelates are aiming higher
than we can dare at the providing of an unmixed edu-
cation of the very highest order. From our hearts we
wtoisthesttbifeymto themsuccess: and we are glad of this opportunity
our warmest sympathy. What we
have hitherto done we will continue to do—recommend
the undertaking to the charity and liberality of our
faithful people. Should such an institution grow up so 1
near us, its advantages to us will be incalculable. We
shall see open to future generations the means of a liberal,
scientific, and professional education, united with solid
religious instruction, a blessing denied to the present;
and we may see revived, what formed the prid 3 of Ireland
in early ages of Christianity, multitudes who loved hea-
venly, as well as earthly wisdom, sailing to her from
distant shores, to obtain the still undivided treasure at
her hands.
" 6. You will see, by all that we have addressed to
you, how solicitous we are aboutlhe preservation of the
faith committed to our charge.no wonder that
we should be so. While this is the groundwork of all
piety and of our salvation, though withont it we cannot
possibly please God,* it has become less and less
an object of care or of esteem to others. The innume-
rable contradictions of doctrine which have long

truths has been adopted—that they are matters of indif-

religion are derided as narrow-minded and illiberal; and
the very characteristic which St. Leo gave to the wor-
ship of pagan Rome is now popularly attributed to ge-
nuine Christianity, that it is truly religious in propor-
tion as it opens wider its arms to embrace and compre-
hend more conflicting errors.t The age is one which
rejects all strict dogmatism, and its spirit is the enemy
of faith. It is difficult to be in contact with it and not
feel its influence. Its reasonings, its disdains, its jeers,
its very blasphemies, become familiar and cease to inspire
horror; the sacredness of what is habitually assailed re-
mains less vividly impressed on the mind; and many,
who woulditsgeneral.and

do not feel so keenly about particular doctrines, each of

those of other men, but remain stedfast in the teaching
of God's Church, keeping the very form of sound words
which she delivers to you,' and not reputing anything
light or unimportant whion she communicates. Above
ali things, prize the great blessing of unity, which is

by good works,tt to be available unto salvation. And,
therefore, we exhort you to all piety, and the faithful
discharge of all your duties. For godliness is profita-
ble to all things, having promise of the life that now is,
and of that which is to come.l/ In proportion as the
times aro evil, increase your"own fidelity to the religious
observances of the Church. He who frequently prays to
God, who, if possible, daily attends at the adorable sa-
crifice, purges at short intervals his conscience from
stains by the sacrament of penance, and often devoutly
receives the source of life in the most blessed eucharist,
will not easily feel his faith weakened. Perform these
duties with cheerful fervour, not with sadness or of
necessity, for God loveth a cheerful giver.'§§ Towards
the most Holy Sacrament we warmly entreat you to en-
tertain the most tender devotion; promote its honour,
its solemn adoration, its silent worship, its frequent re-
ception. In the ever blessed and immaculate Mother of
God we earnestly exhort you to feel a filial confidence,
which is the fruit of love towards her Divine Son, and
will make you have daily recourse to her patronage
and intercession. Love the glory of. God's house,
and the majesty of His worship; and minister
to them generously, according to your means. Love
the poor of Jesus Christ, His dearest disciples, and
assist them charitably, especially by supporting such
institutions as secure their spiritual, together with their
temporal welfare. Edify all around you by the blame-
lessness of your lives, the Christian order of your
families, and the virtues suited to your condition.
For the rest, brethren, whatsoever things are true,
whatsoever modest, whatsoever just, whatsoever holy,
whatsoever lovely, whatsoever of good fame, if there be
any virtue, if any praise of discipline, think of these
things.l3 . _

loved, we need not recall to your minds the many and

and your religion have been lately assailed. We need
not trace the progress of injury from words to deeds,

desecration of what is most holy. And you know too
that many persons around you would not hesitate to

you closer to Him, and make you inheritors of His pro-

that of praying for all who afflict, or persecute, or hate
you. Beg of God to turn their hearts to charity and
peace, and bring them to the knowledge and love of His

but for all who are not partakers of the same light. and
grace as have been vouchsafed to you. You have heard
of the great charity with which God has inspired your
brethren of other nations, of praying for the return of
your beloved country to the unity of the faith. We
surely will not bo behind them in our zeal and love,
where the motives, the interests, and the rewards of
these virtues are so peculiarly our own. Pray then

would lead us to regret the restraint whsih just occurred

her liberties. It does seem hard and strange utone -
that, while
meet
we prevent the clergy of our national churching for the purposes of deliberation, we allow to a
which is not national, which is, indeed, regarded churchwith
the utmost dislike and distrust by a majority of the
people of these islands, the undisputed power to meet
to deliberate and to circulate addresses in the name and
on behalf of its Synod. It would certainly seem that in
these islands either the Church of England has too
little liberty or the Church of Rome too much. There
is now lying before us a printed paper bearing the title
of a Synodical Letter of the "Fathers assembled in Pro-
vincial Council at St. Mary's, Oscott," and the style which
the said Fathers are pleased to assume is:—" We, the
Archbishops and Bishops of the province of Westmin-
ster, in provincial synod assembled, to our beloved
brethren and children in Christ, the clergy secular and
regular, and the faithful under our jurisdiction." Since
the Bull of 1850, and the swaggering pastoral which
accompanied it, we have not seen anything
more deliberately and studiously impertinent.
With what an easy assumption do these men
talk of the province of Westminster as of a geographical
division of our island, legal, patent, and notorious; with
what perfect nonchalance do they put aside the law of
the country in which they live by which this ecclesias-
tical provision is proscribed! They have discovered the
art of conveying more insolence and defiance by mere
omissions than others can do by the most laboured in-
vectives. The utter absence of any reference to the ex-
isting religion and hierarchy of the country excites the
same feeling of indignation as two years ago, and points
out in the most expressive terms the unbending and
undeviating arrogance which thus avails itself of our
tolerance to insult us. We observe also that in this
document the bishops claim " jurisdiction," a term of
distinct legal import, implying the possession of lawful
powers, and therefore, in a case where no such powers
exist, asserting a right in the Pope to intermeddle at
his pleasure with the laws and institutions of this
country, and to interpolate among them regulations
which have, for so the word imports, a compulsory
and obligatory force. These bishops, in provincial
synod assembled, address only " the faithful" under
their jurisdiction, clearly implying that they have ju-
Hectic ion over he unfaithful, that is, over her Ma-
jesty's Protestant subjects, and that if that jurisdiction
tee not enforced, it is :rone a de!eat of power, and not
of right. When we consider that these men remain in
this country and exercise their spiritual fuuctions merely
because the nation is too_ deeply devoted to the prin-
ciples of toleration to suffer them to be violated, even in
the most oiious cases, we may well wonder that they
should adopt a tone of such exuberant and overbearing
intolerance, as if they wished to see if it were possible,
by any amount of provocation end insult, to induce us to
retrace our steps, and employ those weapons of persseu-
tion against them on which their Church in all ages has
relied. They may possibly succeed in this wicked and
hollow policy, but succeed far more completely than they
desire. Looking at the pledges given by the Members
of the new Parliament and the feeling evinced through-
out the country, it is not very likely the next time the
Roman Catholic religion forms the subject of legislation
it will be dealt with as leniently as before, and it is very
possible that public opinion, if thus wilfully and re-
peatedly irritated, may demand the reinforcement of
such laws as still remain on the statute bock to curb
the aggressions and check the insolence of the Papacy
and its adherents. The document to which this tithlciinids
affixed is a curiosity in its way. It is written t
of theological slang—in a loose and slipperyn a _
st yl e,
which reads like a bad translation from a foreign
language. Some of the sentiments are not a little
curious. " The faithful" are reminded that they,
prayed some time ago for the light and guidance of
God's Holy Spirit in the Synod, and are assured, on
the authority of the said Synod, that their prayers have
been granted. Union and charity, assiduity and exact-
ness, calmness, impartiality, and prudence, have, in the
opinion of these gentlemen—and who b
can o Letter
judges of the fact?—characterised all their proceedings;
and they, therefore, appointed Sunday, the 15th of Au-
gust, as a day of thanksgiving for the manifestation of
these virtues among themselves, and the results to which
that manifestation has led. Possibly the uninitiated may
suppose that, in order to be thoroughly thankful for
these results, it would be necessary to be acquainted
with their nature. Such persons but little understand
the amount of confidence demanded from " the faithfal."
As soon as the decrees and provisions of the Synod can
be madepublic "the faithful" will see that great and list-
ing blessings have been conferred by it on the Catholic
Church; but as they have no authority, and cannot be
enforced till they have received the judgment and correc-
tion of the Pope, " the faithful" must be content for the
present with thankfalness and ignorance. Here, then, we
have, for the first time since the establishment of the
Protestant religion in this country, a body of Rornish
ecclesiastics meeting together to make laws
which,
l;
h eta
they have received the assent of a foreign prince,
be binding, to be of authority, and to be enforced. Willo
these laws be in accordance with the laws of the
y ? land?and

DAthy NEWS.—A manifesto, not altogether un-
orthy of notice, has just been promulgated, apparently
byW Cardinal Wiseman and his colleagues. We say up.
psrently, for though in the superscription it purports to
emanate from " the Archbishop and Bishops of the pro-
vince of Westminster, in provincial synod assembled,"
it is only signed by three obscure priests, under the
designation of secretaries. " The Archbishop of the
province of Westminster" with all his Bishops, enter-
tains a reverent fear of the Ecclesiastical Tides Act
and carefully keeps his own person out of its reach, even'
when aff,,cting to defy it. The modern Thom as.t-
Beckett is as careful to ascertain that " the law is on u
side" before he " bites his thumb" at the hereticalPaurr-
Par-
liament any
ament and Government of England, as ever was
clown who wore the livery of the Capulet or the Montague.
The reason why we notice this manifesto is because it
contains an instructive illustration of the Wiseman
policy in respect of secular education. As everybody is
now a free-trader so everybody is now a patron and pro-
