"True defenders of Church and Queen, we stand forth
to oppose the ward of loyalty and faith, to the blows,
which, by a rare coincidence, Tory hands are dealing
against the Church, our holy mother, and our gracious
Sovereign, Victoria." From reading the antecedent pa-
ragraph, can this be considered any other than cozenage ?
" Russia and its Catholic subjects.—According to the
Gazette Universelle de Leipsick, the Emperor of all the
Russias has declared war against the Catholic clergy, and
has opened his campaign by withdrawing all the young
Lithuanians from the Catholic colleges, and by establish-
ing Imperial schools throughout that province. This ex-
plains the arrest of the. Bishop of Wilna."—Herald, May
10, 1838.
" The parish in the Zillerthal of Tyrol, which havieg
embraced the Protestant principles, was ordered by the
Austrian Government to move, when its members applied
to the King of Prussia, who kindly offered them a domain 1
near Breslau, on which they settled. The King of Prussia
is generally considered the Head of the Protestant Church
of Germany, and he protects it most strenuously. No
gentleman or lady can hold a situation in the Royal House..
hold, unless their Protestant principles be well known and
proved."—The Sun, No. 14,672.
" Mr. O'Connell is a powerful speaker, a skilful politi-
cian, an able advocate for civil and religious liberty, but
he should not attempt theology."—The Sun, No. 14,672.

" We only hope that Ministers, as well as the Tories,
will heed the circumstances of their resent position. The
language of facts is plain and decisive, it warns and
prompts, so that he who runs may read. The index of
events points, with unmoving finger, to the path of pro-
gressive reform."—The Morning Chronicle, Friday, Sept.
20, 1833.
" We cannot, on this occasion, lay dos n our pen without
endeavouring to impress on the religio& s and P otestant

" If there be truth or consistency in man, sincere Pro.
testants must turn against those who have given such
prodigious advantages to the Catholic superstition."—The

" It is hardly possible to repress a smile at the manner
in which his (Mr. O'Connell's) temperament has coloured
his views of the future prospects of Catholicism."—The
Morning Chronicle, Wednesday, September 11, 1839.

" Subdue by force, all who refuse
Right reason for their law, and for their King,
Messiah, who by right of merit reigns."—Milton.
We who to the liege Lady of our dear native land owe
subjects' homage—we most respectfully address her—." But
among all our joys, there was no one that more Stied our
hearts than the blessed continuance of the preeching of God's
sacred Word among us, which is that inestimable treasure
which excelleth all the riches of the earth, because the
fruit thereof extendeth itself not only to the time spent in
this transitory world, but directeth and disposeth men unto
that eternal happiness which is above in Heaven."

" Prerogativel what's that ! the boast of tyrants;
A borrowed jewel, glittering in the crown
With specious lustre, lent but to betray ;

" And therefore do I prize it; I would guard
Their liberties, and they shall strengthen mine ;
That when proud Faction, and her rebel crew,
Insult their Sor'reign, trample on his laws,
And bid defiance to his pow'r, the people,
In justice to themselves, will then defend
His cause, and vindicate the rights they gave."

" If a proper regard be not paid to the honour and ser-
vice of the true God in the Councils of a Nation, that
Nation which can thus forget itself, must rani behind even
the heathens in polit'cal wisdom, who, though religious in
error, were nevertheless religious in principle, never fail.

ject of their legislation. As a classical scholar, it is nano.

Popery Irreconcilable with Christianity, or the Impossi-
bility of Popish Christianity. By John Bellamy.
" From the beginning of the Reign of Edward I, to the
end of the Reign of Richard 11. Christendom was divided
by two schisms. The first lasted not long. Clement Fifth
removing the Papal Chair to Avignon, died there in 1314,
and was succeeded by John XXII., who kept his resi-
dence at the same place. This Pope's election was after an
extraordinary manner. The Holy See remaining vacant
about two years after the death of Clement, because
the Cardinals could not agree, they met at Lyons 1316, in
order to choose a Pope. Butthesame divisions still reigning
among them they agreed to refer the matter to the Cardi-
nal of Ostia, Bishop of Oporto, who, without any suspente,
nominated himself, and took the name of John XXII.
At the same time the empire was divided by a double elec-
tion, one part of the electors voting for Lewis of Bavaria,
and the other for Frederick, Duke of Austria. John's
refusal to acknowledge the first occasioned a quarrel be.
tween them, which continually increased till 1328, when
Lewis, passing into Italy, degraded Pope John, and
and caused Peter de Corbaria, a Cordelier, to be elected,
who assumed the name of Nicholas V. and resided at
Rome. The anti-Pope being supported by the Emperor
arid the General of the Cordeliers, kept his ground fa
some time. But at last, the Emperor being forced to quit
.Italy, and dissension arising among the Cordeliers, I
las having none to defends him, was taken and carried
to Avignon, where he asked John's pardon with a halter
about his neck. After this submission he was put into
close confinement, where he died in a few months. The
second schism between Urban VI. and Clement VII. was
more considerable and of longer continuance. I have re-
lated the rise of it in the History of Richard 11., for which
reason I shall only show its effects to the end of the cen-
tury.

To Pope Urban VI. succeeded, in 1839, Boniface
who, as well as Clement, pretended to be desirous to put
an end to the schism ; but nothing was farther from their
intentions. Clement VII., who died at Avignon in 1394,
bad for successor Benedict XIII.

" All Christendom being tired and offended at:theschisnx,
the Court of France endeavoured to persuade the two
Popes to resign their dignity, that another Pope might be
canonically elected. They both consented, but brokie
their word. Benedict, especially, used so many evasions
that the King of France resolved to withdraw his kingdom
from his obedience. For that purpose he gained the Car-
dinals of that party, who promised to desert hip • but
Benedict, having notice, fortified himself in his palace of
Avignon, by introducing an Arragonian garrison. Ho was
besieged by Marshal Boucicaut, but shortly after, that-
General bad orders to raise the siege. Thus, by the in-
trigues of some Princes of the Court of France, the schism
still continued, notwithstanding the King's endeavours to
close it."—Rapin, p. 482.
" 0 Lord, thou living God, have mercy upon us ! and
destroy this abominable idol of the Mass. In the worship►
ping of Baal, Ashtaroth, Molock, Baal Peor, Melcomb,
Dagon, the Queen of Heaven, Saturn, Jupiter, Juno,
Venus, Priapus, and such other idols, was never so great
a blasphemy and dishonour to God, as is the setting up of
this broken bread to be worshipped for God."

‘,Christianity, the kingdom and church of God, have
but one creed, one faith, one hope, and one way ; but human
sects and churches have a variety of creeds, hopes, faiths 4
and ways, each suited to its notions, interests, and
party, aa
ordained by their several heads ; their customs, ordinances,
and creeds all differing from each other, and from the pure
creed of Christ; this also proves that theirs are not Chris-
tianity, but sectarianism, for the creed of Christ,
that'
were Christians, would suit them all."
" The gospel of Christ was the echo to the cry of humaw
nature, and what wonder if it came with "
softness upon the
conscience of man, wherever conscience and man were
to be found. This was no hnzardous or conjectural un-
dertaking—the promise of God was out for it—the glory
of God was concerned in it—the Redeemer himself
bad cast the
bread upon the waters, and every Chris-
tian would it was trusted throw in his offering, till
the expanding circle became a mighty tide, and every land
was beat on by the saturated wave ; and, then, the Church
of God being illuminated by his word and Spirit, and error
and superstition having vanished for ever, he and others
would cease to be Protestants—there would be nothing to
protest against."—Extracts.
Addition —"I have embraced the Christian reformed
catrimunion, and I have embraced it vv,th faith, confidence,
and happiness, because it is not supported by the sword
of the executioner ; it does not place the scaffolds and tor_
tures of the Inquisition beside the cross of Him who came,
not to destroy men, but to save them. I acknowledge that
the violence with which some of its early members have
been reproached, arose from the remains of human preju-
dice, from a habit of domination and double power (eagle.
siastical and civil), from which those men could not at
once free themselves ; but at the present day this Church
is mild and charitable."

Jesus Christ, that primitive Church which was restored by
the Gospel at the time of the Reformation"
