the Bishop of ROME rail at the assailants of his
temporalities seem to forget the ways and manners

of English and Irish Protestant Bishops. Let any
one lay his finger on the temporalities of their church,
although they are but a comparatively very modern
gift of the nation, and what a stir we have. Even
the temporalities of the graveyards—of dust, ashes
and corruption—were not surrendered a few years
back, till the clergy actually got the temporality
perpetuated when the work ceased ! Let any one
look, too, at the language in which a small party of
unquestionably intelligent men are assailed, who,
under the style and the title of the Liberation So-
ciety, propose to relieve the Ghurch of England
of the temporalities given to it by the State, and
to restore them to the giver for secular
purposes. It would not be easy for his Holiness
to surpass in bitterness the epithets bestowed upon
the Voluntaries by the bishops and clergy of our
own country. Even if any one assails that eccle-
siastical monstrosity, which no Statesman worthy
the name has ever defended, the Church of Ireland

—if it is asserted that the Church of a few thou-
sands ought not absorb all the national ecclesiastical
wealth of a people of six or seven millions—the Pro-
testant hierarchy will wax as warm as the POPE
himself. Equal dealing in Religion is a crime. The
true Religion—that is, my religion—ought to have
all the money; so argue British as well as Roman
Popes.

We should, indeed, rather recommend HARRY of
EXETER, and SAMUEL of OXFORD to study the
POPE'S allocution. It would refresh their spirits.
They could apply it, as they might apply one of
DAVID'S anathematizing Psalms to the domestic
enemies of the Church ; always meaning, by the
Church, those temporal blessings of it which cul-
minate in Bishoprics. They might enrich their
vocabulary—rich enough, perhaps, at present.
Here are a few flowers of this kind of Vatican rheto-
ric—"men who are enemies of the cross of CHRIST"—
" associated by a nefarious alliance "—" blaspheming
what they ignorant of"—" by depraved acts endea-
vouring to weaken the foundations of our most holy
religion and human society"—" crafty artificers of
fraud and mendacious fabricators"—practizers of
"melancholy and diabolical acts"—" debasing the
knowledge of all—diffusing deadly poison—exer-
cising unbridled licentiousness of life and depraved
desires"—" extinguishing every idea of justice,
truth, right, honesty, and religion"—" deriders of
the most sacred dogmas of Christianity"—men who
" perversely assert that the civil power can inter-
fere in matters which belong to religion"—who
assert that "Divine revelation is even injurious to
human perfection—is imperfect—its prophecies and
miracles the comments of poets—and that oar Lord
JESUS CHRIST himself, horrible to be spoken, is a
mythical fiction." They are " turbulent worshippers
of perverse dogmas"—nay, they rival the Titans of
antiquity—for " they arrive, also, at that degree of
impiety and impudence, that they endeavour to
attack Heaven itself, and take away GOD. himself
from the midst of it."
But enough for a sample—the fertility of the
POPE'S invention really does amount to a kind of
inspiration in this line ; but whether VICTOR EM-
MANUEL, RICASOLI, and RATTAZZI, or GARIBALDI
and CRISP', will recognise their photographs, here,
may be questioned. An arrow which hits the mark
is more effective than a thunderbolt which misses it,
and probably all bystanders will see that these
bolts of heaven or of hell, it is really hard to say
which, bury themselves in the ground, and leave
the intended victims scatheless. In their way they
surpass even the last papal effusion, and, we must
confess, leave far behind the productions of the
English anathematisers. As, however, these latter
want the power more than the will, we commend
them to the study of the POPE'S Allocution.
What he really can hope to gain by it, at this
time of day, it is hard to tell. Neither French nor
Italian politicians are likely to be much moved by
such ecclesiastical abuse. It will rather do them good.
Every educated man revolts from or laughs at it
and even the illiterate do not believe it. If his poli-
tical opponents were irritable they would have but to
leave him to himself, and he would quickly have to
vent his curses from the mire. They have too much
good sense probably to let him down with a sudden
jerk, but he has a warning already in the reduction
of his army, that he must soon receive temporally,
the due reward of his temporal deeds, at the hands
of ',hose whom he curses.

DEATH OF LORD MUNCASTER,—We have to
record the demise of the above nobleman, vho died on the
18th ult. at Castellamare, near Naples, in the 31st year of
his age, after a short illness. His lordship succeeded his
father as fourth baron and eighth baronet in 1838, and
married, in 1855, Lady Jane Grosvenor, daughter of the
Marquis of Westminster.

Lieut.-Col. Herbert Watkin W. Wynn, M.P., is,
we regret to learn, seriously indisposed at his seat in Wales.
Yesterday the accounts were more favourable, but the hon.
and gallant member is still not considered out of danger.
A serious accident occurred on Friday to Lord
Francis and Lady Osborne, when driving in a phaeton from
Castleconnel towards their residence at Clonsingle, county of
Limerick. In the narrow part of the bog-road, on the New-
port line, the vehicle in which they were travelling came in
collision with a donkey cart, which completely overturned
it, and we (Limerick Chronicle) regret to state that Lady
Osborne sustained severe injuries ; his lordship was not
much hurt.

Mrs. Ellen Hope has presented to the National
Lifeboat Institution t 340, in memory of her late husband,
the Rev. F. W. Hope, for the purpose of enabling the in-
.stitution to station a new lifeboat and transporting carriage
at Appledoro, on tho north coast of Devon, where some
fearful shipwrecks take place nearly every winter.

THE CORONERSHIP OF MIDDLESEX.—The writ
for the election of two coroners for Middlesex—the central
and western divisions—under the recent order in council,
will bo forthwith issued from the Crown-office, the Middle-
sex magistrates having derided the question as to the coro-
nership of the Duchy of Lancaster. The election cannot
take place within seven days of the Sheriff receiving the
writ, and must b,:? within 14 days. The freeholders cannot
poll out of the district in which their property is situated.
The nothination for the central division will take place at
Marylebone, and for the western division at Brentford.
The expenses of the Sheriff are to be paid by the candi-
dates in equal proportions. The polling is confined to ono
day. Mr. Humphreys has been assigned by the Middlesex
magistrates, at their late meeting, the eastern division, and
the salary has been fixed, including all expenses, at 4500.
The salary of the late coroner, Mr. Wakley, was £l,BOO
a-year, :and it is expected that the same will be divided be-
tween the two coroners to be appointed for the central and
western divisions.

THE NEW STREET FROM SOUTHWARK TO THE
WESISINSTER BRDGE-ROAD. This new communication
between the Borough and the Southwark-bridge-road has
made considerable progress during the last fortnight, and
in consequence it is expected that in less than a fortnight
the line for foot traffic will be open thus far. For some time
the street has been formed a short distance west of the
Borough Market. From this point to the Southwark-
bridge-road the formation of the street has been continued.
The vaults for the houses which are to be built in connec-
tion with them aro nearly all formed on either side of the
way, and the foot pavements over them are nearly com-
pleted. The subway is erected above half the distance, and
at each end of this portion of the line the roadway is being
laid down with solid blocks of granite. The contractor also
commenced on Monday last the formation of the line to the
west of the Southwark-bridge-road, between that spot and
Blackfriars-road, which can be rapidly proceeded with, as
there aro not many houses to be cleared away to make room
for the further extension of the street.

Letters from St. Petersburg state, that the
Japanese ambassadors are shortly expected in that city,
After having visited the Russian capital, Vienna, Berlin,
&c., they are to return to Paris, to be present at the fetes
of the 15th August, then proceed to Marseilles, and embark
for Suez,

THE WARRIOR.—A number of sailors paid off at
Plymouth have gone to their homes at Queenstown and
the surrounding localities by this ship. They represent
her as a most uncomfortable vessel at sea in bad weather.
She not only ships seas fast, but leaks copiously through
her ports, and leaves scarcely a dry article to the mon on
the main deck,
