soon inflame zeal, instead of producing indiffer-
ence, and would raise up another set of priests
to share the gifts. However much they mad-
dened the people, they, too, must be bribed or
or, bought off.

Now Lord RODEN says--
The monks have been always regarded by the Roman
Catholic populace with the most superstitious reverence,
and the administration of the offices of the Church in
their hands esteemed peculiarly sacred and beneficial.
Already a considerable traffic is carried on by the bre-
'thren, in holy candles, and beads, and relics, and gos-
pels, and the only restraint to a greater extent of this
traffic arises from the jealousies and fears of the secular
priests, lest their own emoluments might thereby be in
any wise diminished. Remove this check by paying the
secular priest ; the brothers will increase their traffic,
and the choristers will extend the sphere of their ser-
vices, and the burden of dues and fees will be ten, nay, a
hundred-fold increased. This must necessarily follow
from Lord Alvanley's " first step." Perhaps the monks
are to be paid too.

The only difference between Lord RODEN and
us is, that he particularises the monks, he is ac-
quainted with that individual class ; we only
reasoned from general principles, and applied
our remarks to every order of priests. We are
glad to have Lord RODEN'S testimony to the fact
that, if the State pay one order of priests, it only
stimulates the avarice of some other priests to
procure a larger share of the general wealth.
When the Earl of RODEN and the Editor of The
Sun agree, it is quite certain, as in the case of an
agreement between a Frenchman and English-
man, that both are right; whence it necessarily
follows that it must be wrong to adopt Lord AL-
VANLEY'S plan, and take the priests into pay.
The question, however, remains, what is to be
done with regard to the Catholic priests of Ire-
land? Both Noble Lords, being Members of the
Legislature, agree that " the peace and tranquil-
lity of the country," to borrow Lord RODEN'S
words, " are in the hands of the Roman Catholic
priests," not in the hands, and not under the
power, of these nominal lawgivers :
The irresponsible power of the priest (says Lord
Roden) cannot be too strongly deprecated. I agree with
Lord Alvanley in thinking that " it paralyzes the action
of the laws which were intended for the benefit of all, and
is incompatible with the well-being of the country to
which it belongs," It is placed beyond the reach of civil
law, and beyond the control of civil authority. What
law, or what authority, can reach or control the secret
tribunal of the confessional ?

Here is a power then in the State above the
law, and so must be the power of every priest-
hood wielding a spiritual authority. Every Dis-
senting clergyman, in truth, is in the same
position as the Catholic priest, in respect to the
State; but he excites no alarm in the minds of
Noble Lords. Why then are they alarmed at
the Catholic priests ? Because the Catholic
priests exercise their influence over nearly
8,000,000 people, banded together by a senti-
ment of hostility to the Church which these
Noble Lords favour, and because they are seri_
sible that they and their Church have given

these 8,000,000, by long oppression, a just reason
for their hostility. They are now obliged, in
sorrow and anxiety, to eat " the fruit of their
own doings," and are now paying the penalty of
the wrongs committed by themselves and their
ancestors.

What contemptible politicians have been the
oppressors of the Catholics, that when they in-
jured them they did not follow the advice of
MACHIAVELLI, and annihilate them ? About the
middle of the seventeenth century the whole
population of Ireland was estimated at 1,200,000,
of whom not more than two-thirds were Ca-
tholics and Irish. Now, if our Protestant poli-
ticians had wished to do their work effectually,
they should have rooted out these Catholics, and
not have allowed them to multiply, with the sen-
timent of wrong, and of their own power, ever
growing bigger and bigger. But in this is
shown the righteous government of nature ; they
have grown too powerful for their oppressors,
and all the schemes of Lords ALVANLEY and
RODEN will just end in this—that they must
place the Catholic and the Anglican priesthood
on a level, and pay neither. The voluntary
system is the effectual cure for the disorders
dreaded by the Noble Lords, and the cultivation
of reason mid good sense the only means of
putting an end to the power of the Catholic, or
any other priesthood.

We have received the whole of the French papers of
Wednesday. The trial of QUENISSET and his accom-
plices continued to occupy the Chamber of Peers. These
Journals contain no political news of engrossing in-
terest :

" The departura of M. Olozaga," says the Gazette de
France, "is certain, but it is not for the Presidency of the
Council that he is going to Madrid. He is going thither to do
merely what M. de Salvandy is to come back to do at Paris ;
he is going to give the aid of his vote to the Government.
M. Olozaga has again demanded, in a pressing manner, the re-
moval of M. Martinez de la Rosa and M. , Zea Bermudez."
