men. to deny) have had for their general object, not to
favour Romanism, but to show to all whom it might
concern, that they could have whatever support and
consolation the Faith and practice of the Primitive
Church could give them, without quitting. the Church
of England. Many had grown weary and faint under
the burden of mere Protestantism, which is with regard
to Church matters a formulary of non-belief, and there-
fore no support at all. They wanted a belief and
a guidance other than that which their own falli-
ble judgment gathered from the original documents.
They were going over to Rome, . when the Tracta-
rians stepped in to show them that the Primitive Church
afforded all they wanted, and that the Church of Eng-
land is the true depository of all that the Primitive
Church had, without the admixture of modern fancies
and strange unedifying observances, which have dis-
figured the simplicity of the Catholic faith in the Church
of Rome." That the Oxford Tracts have exhibited a
decided,, though not avowed tendency towards Catholic-
ism, is put beyond a doubt by the recent conversion of
the Rev. Mr. Sibthorp, who, after studying them atten-
tively, and examining all their bearings, became con.
vinced- that they, had a Catholic leaning, and, as a neces-
sary consequence, boldly embraced Catholicism. The
result of his impartial investigation satisfied him that
Puseyism was the first step to Popery.
The Herald says :—" The entire life of every man is
but an education for eternity ; the establishment alone of
schools for youth is a mere palliative ; national health
can never be restored by such inefficient means. 'Books
and lessons are excellent so far as they go, but unless
more powerful agents are administered, their excellence
has but a temporary effect. If we wish to bring about
an improved state of things, we must amend the moral
condition of the adult and the aged as well as instruct
the young. So long as parents are vicious, discontented,
and irreligious, it is in vain to expect to see children mo-
ral, satisfied, and Christian. A great want of the manu-
facturing districts are undoubtedly churches, to remind
and invite the people of the worship of God ; but there
is an equally serious want in the deficient supply of cler-
gymen."—lt is not churches, nor clergymen, nor
clerks, ncr pew-openers, that the manufacturing dis-
tricts are in want of ; their want is of a far
more pressing and appalling character—they want
bread ! Of what use is it to build up a church for
a starving population ? To exhibit a sensitive uneasi-
ness for the safety of their. souls, when their bodies are
in a state of absolute inanition ? Such a proposition is
a cruel mockery—aye the most cruel of all mockeries,
because it wears the disguise of a kindly consideration.
Build new churches if you please--for it is better to
build them than new jails or new barracks—but at
least take care that the congregation shall be in a fit
state to attend those churches. The spirit of meek,
placid devotion can never exist in the bosoms of a
ragged, starving population ; and we have yet to
learn that the act of listening to the liturgy or a ser-
mon, can stave off the cravings of hunger.
In reference to the proposed reforms in Chancery,
the Times observes :—". We think it indispensable to the
well-working of the entire plan, that there shall be no
power to plaintiffs of selecting their judge. The causes
should go by rotation to the Master of the Rolls, as well
as to the three Vice-Chancellors. Without some arrange-
ment, there is no way to equalize the work, or to secure
for the public the full benefit of the establishments they
are to pay for. We have heard lawyers talk as though
there were some natural justice entitling a plaintiff to
choose his own judge. But why should that privilege
belong to a plaintiff rather than to a defen-
dant ? Why should either or both have that
privilege, if its exercise would impede the justice due'to
other plaintiffs and defendants? Unless the rule adopted'
on this subject be a peremptory one, two or three of the
four Courts (we exclude the Court of the Chancellor),
will soon be clogged with a heavy list of business, as the
solicitors of the day shall happen to take a special fancy
for some one or more of the Judges or Counsel;;;ind the
one or two other Courts, though perhaps quite as well
officered for all the purposes of substantial justice, will
be left without occupation either for the bench or for the
bar. This inconvenience has more than once occurred
in the Courts of Common Law, and should be firmly
guarded against in the new Courts of Equity."
The Dublin Evening Post, speaking of Mr. Warren's
appointment to the vacant Sergeantcy, remarks as fol-
lows:—" Sir Edward Sugden is not to be trifled with.
He is determined, so long as he is allowed to remain in
the office of Lord Chancellor, that the factious coterie at
the Castle shall' not have it all their own way. Sir Ed-
ward has humbled the pride of the Shaws, and the
Blackburnes, and the Brewsters, backed though they
were by Lord De Grey and Lord Eliot. With regard to
the rival claimants, it was a matter of perfect indiffe-
rence to its which of them succeeded, for they are both'
men of the right sort,' and we were interested in the
conflict only because we saw the Chancellor determined
to try conclusions with the Orange managers at the
Castle. We are enabled to announce that the Chancellor
has triumphed. Mr. Warren is now the third Sergeant."
The York Courant contains these remarks :—" At
present appearances are smooth ; it is passively, not 'A.C•
tively, that the hostile spirit of Toryism to public free-
dom is manifesting itself. An outrage or a riot in be-
half of its domineering principles is allowed to pass
over without rebuke. But dues not this at once point
out what are the predilections and the hopes of the party?
Long have they been striving for the eminence they now
possess. For its attainment they have entered into an
unholy aliance' with the avowed enemies of social or•
der—with the extreme advocates of extravagant changes
to be brought about by physical force—and, after having
done this, can we fur a moment hesitate to judge of
what they may be further inclined to do to maintain that
power ofw'
which they have thus worthily possessed them-
selves l''
