titles.—c Hear, hear.) He said, therefore, that no member
of that Government had a right to refer to that measure as
one which in the least degree prevented their Lordships from
dealing fully and freely with the whole question; and he
said further that those who urged the admission of the names
of bishops and archbishops into the Charitable Bequests Act,
as an argument against the measure, were guilty of great
ingratitude to the Government and the country by. whom
they had been so treated. He could not avoid noticing the
inconsistent nature of the argument used by the opponents
of this measure. On the one hand they said the
Roman Catholic Church was Bo purely spiritual
and voluntary in its organization, and operation, that the
Bill would not in the slightest degree affect it, or interfere
with the jurisdiction of the bishops ; while on the other band,
R was said that we had already given it so much power that
'we ought not to stop short, but give it more. He could not
reconcile these two arguments. But it did appear to him
that the Roman Calbolic clergy and priesthood thought we
had done enough to tie up our hands, seal up our lips, and
prevent us from doing anything against theirinterference
with our laws and institutions, and he begged their Lord•
ships to mark the circumstances under which these changes
were advocated. W. e had now a large and increasing ultra-
montane party, which made a great difference between the
present time and the period when a similar proposal
was made, some 40 or 50 years ago. But then it was
said, Oh, these ultramontanists don't know what
is best for the interest of the Church of Rome." He
thought, on the contrary, that they knew very well what
they were aiming I.—( Hear.) He entreated their Lordships
to look at the spirit in which this act bad been done.
The Roman Catholics bad not been given a domestic hier-
archy of their own, but the existing ecclesiastical establish-
ment of the country had been wholly passed over.—( Hear,
hear.) It was not difficult to see where this would lead to.
The Pope had created an enti ely new hierarchy, and the
Pope, by his breath, could also destroy it. (Hear, hear.)
He warned their Lordships, however, that this measure had
no connexion with the advance, real or supposed, of the
Chureh of Rome. The advance, if advance there be, must
be met by other means. But at the same time he entreated
the H ,use to consider that Rome bad not always advanced
Its pretensions and its policy by spiritual means. It had re-
sourse to pomp and power, which, unfortunately, struck not
only the vulgar but others. They were imperatively bound
to see that that advance should not be aided by the principles
of our ancient English laws, and the sacred prerogative cf
the Crown of these kingdoms.— (Cheers.)
The Earl of AIRLIE supported the Bill, observing that
great excitement prevailed on the subject throughout the
country, and that the nation looked to Parliament tor the
ample redress of so great a grievance.
The Bishop of ST. DAVID'S said that though this subject
was one upon which he had reflected much, and which had
occasioned him deep concern, not so much in his character
of a bishop of the Established Church, as in other respects,
he had at first come to the resolution of giving a silent vote
on the motion now before their Lordships, but he thought it
advisable for several reasons that he should briefly state to
the House the views which he entertained respecting it. In
the first place, then, he conceived it to be very doubtful
whether the interests of the Church of England had been
affected by the recent measures of the See of Rome. But if
this were not, as he conceived.it to be, apolitical question—if
it were an ecclesiastical question affecting the rights of the
Church, then he should most cordially agree with the senti-
ments expressed in the admirable speech which the le oble
Duke had just now delivered,
and which seemed to
him to exhaust the whole subject. And if ever the
Church were
injuriously affected by this step on the
part of the Pope, he was sure he only spoke the
sentiments of the majority of his Right Reverend Bro-
thers, when he expressed the hope that no injustice
done to their Church from without, should induce them to
withdraw privileges of which the Roman Catholics had been
long in the enjoyment. The language of their documents
was certainly bold and assuming. No cardinal legate in the
reign of King John. could have expressed himself with greater
audacity, than did the apostolic rescript under wh'eh Cardi-
nal Wiseman was appointed. The object, too, was clearly
the extension of the Roman Catholic re
religion, and the
foundation of the hierarchy was not intended to be the last,
nt the
.first of a series of aggressive acts, all having the same
end in view. When the aggression of the Pope was made
known in this country, it presented itself under a two-fold
aspect—first, that of an insult; and, secondly, that of an
injury.—(Hear, hear.) On the first point there was a gene-
ra! unanimity of opinion, not enly in Parliament but out of
Parliament; but still he would consider whether the act was
really, as many supposed, an insult. Upon mature delibe-
ration, he must confess that he did not consider it as such.
He would say, however, that in his opinion the aggression
consisted in the attempt to do without the consent of the
Sovereign of this country that which it was usual to do with
it. In passing the Relief Act, it was impossible that the
Legislature could ever have contemplated the legalizing of
such an act a, that of which they now complained.—(Hear.)
He would support the Bill, but could not say he was entirely
satisfied with it. It was one mode of bringing about an
amicable understanding, but it had failed. If this measure
in practice did not answer, he should still hope that the form
would be made more available to carry out the substance.
The question was, whether they would adopt this measure,
which answered the purpose of a strong remonstrance, and
which might dispose the minds of the parties affected by it
to come to some compromise. Meantime, it answered the
inestimable advantage of keeping inviolate and unimpaired
that
.deposit of law, rights, and privileges of the Crown and
Empire, bequeathed to them by their aucestors, and com-
mitted to their charge.— (Hear, hear.)
On the motion of the Earl of WINCHILSEA, the debate
was then adjourned ; and their Lordships rose at twenty
minutes to One o'clock.
