SPIRIT of the PUBLIC JOURNALS.
TIMES.—The question has been asked and answered;
and in the almost fabulous and incredible majority which,
at a late hour on yesterday morning, carried the second
reading of the Ecclesiastical Titles Bill, the Court of
Rome and its adherents have received a lesson on the
true state of public opinion in England, which, let them
put what face on it they may, must strike them with
dismay, with shame, and with confusinn. They went
forth in all their pride to reconquer to the Holy See its
revolted fief—the kingdom of England; and, ignorant
of the future as of the present, their vaunting missives
announced an easy and assured victory. They thought,
or pretended to think, that the ancient spirit of this na-
tion, which had so often risen against the open encreach-
ments and so successfully resisted the covert advances of
Rome, existed no more, and that, immersed in the sordid
cares of commerce and the engrossing industry of ma-
nuafacture, England had made mammon her god, and
worshipped no longer with the fervour and simplicity of
other days. They thought, those subtle and penetra-
ting politicians, that the large number of sects into
which the unrestricted exercise of private judgment
has divided our people would regard each other,
with a mutual animosity, which would effectually
prevent them from combiing against an invasion from
without. They calculated on the support of a supine
and undiscriminating Liberalism which refuses to recog-
nize the most obvious exceptions to its general rules, and
dreads persecution in the most salutary and necessary
precaution. They calculated on the support of men able
and influential, who had frittered away the manly creed
of their forefathers into a metaphysical abstraction re-
sembling, so far as an entity so unreal can resemble any-
thing, the faith of the Vatican much more nearly than
the creed of England. They have had the support they
counted on. The Liberals have given them the benefit
of their liberality and the Peelites of their sophistry, and
yet these forces, combined with the united Roman Ca-
tholic party, have met with a most signal defeat, the
like of which is hardly recorded in Parliamentary an-
nals. The power which the Pope in his arrogance did
not condescend to notice has declared itself with an una-
mita, which, on a matter of so much importance, could
hardly have been expected, and which nothing
but the strongest feeling within the House, acted
upon and kept alive by an equally strong feeling
without it, would be sufficient to account for.
When it was found that there was such a
thing as a popular will in England, and that
the people were nut likely to pass by the Pope and the
Cardinal with the same convenient blindness as to their
proceedings with which those eminent personages chose
to be affected with regard to them, it was thought ne-
cessary by Cardinal Wiseman to appeal to those who
had made their existence so suddenly and disagreeably
manifest. The Cardinal might have demurred to the
jurisdiction, he might have objected to submit the claims
.of his ancient and infallible Church to the decision of a
nation of heretics, deeply imbued with what Gregory
XVI. called " that worst species of indifferentism, a
propensity to private judgment." This, however, the
Cardinal disdained to dp. He voluntarily selected the
people and Parliametitef England for his judges, and
tie must not quarrel with the decision because it is not
such as he most presumptuously hoped, and most shal-
lowly led the Court of Rome to anticipate. No future
flights of metaphor, no new achievements of style, can
persuade any one hereafter to confuse his proceedings
for a moment with the feelings and institutions of the
English nation. The Pope and the Cardinal are con-
victed of having most wantonly and gratuitously com-
menced a movement which was not, as they pre-
tended, national, which was not, as they hoped,
indifferent to the nation ; but which was eminently
anti-national and anti-popular. They have made a
solemn display in the sight of all Europe, not merely of
filly and impertinence, but of weakness and unpopu-
larity. They have destroyed the prestige which the
conversion of a few enthusiastic young gentlemen had
given to their cause, and rendered it impossible even for
themselves to assert for the future that the faith of
Rome has any hold whatever on the public mind of
England. But, while nothing can be more complete as
a demonstration of opinion than the gigantic majority in
the House of Commons, it must be fairly admitted that
we have not advanced a single step towards the ultimate
settlement of the question. Although the second
reading was to triumphantly carried, the Ministerial
Bill has really no supporters. It tenders, as
Mr. Gladstone truly observed, a false issue, not whether
the Pope has any right to found bishoprics and
create bisho within the realm of another sovereign,
but whether ish subjects ought to be allowed to bear
g 4
the titles deriv d from such bishoprics. Of this false
issue Mr. Gladstone dexterously availed himself, and en-
deavoured to persuade the House that the question was,
whether the appointment of bishops should be declared
void because made by a foreign Power, and thus entirely
got rid of the question as to the validity of the creation
of bishoprics. A strong party in the House will at-
tempt, and we sincerely trust with success, to exempt
Ireland from the operation of the measure, and an effort
will doubtless be made to restore the second and third
clauses to the Bill. The proposition of Mr. Walpole,
supported by Sir Frederick Thesiger, being, as we be-
lieve, by far the most reasonable and logical method of
dealing with the subject, would also require attention.
The question as to the inclusion of the second and third '
clauses in the first, upon which every lawyer who has '
addressed the House expresses a different opinion, will
also have to be discussed, and the event of that discussion
is fraught with consequences most serious to the stability
of the Ministerial measure. Thus we have only just
launched from the shore into a stormy ocean,
full of dangers and difficulties, and our guests may
find us in May engaged in discussing the details of a
measure not very agreeable to their sympathies or pre-
judices. We cannot imagine that the party of Sir Robert
Peel has improved its position by the part it has adopted
in the recent debate; nor, whatever may be thought of
Mr. Gladstone's talents as a debater, do we think that
his speech will add much to his reputation as a practical
and far-sighted statesman. The elaborate argument by
which he seeks to prove that the aggression of the Pope
should have been met by negotiation is, with reference to
the position of the Roman Pontiff, simply puerile. The 1
Pope, as a temporal prince, has nothing to lose, and
strong in his weakness, can afford to defy our power. '
As au ecclesiastical potentate, he set all on the cast
when he issued his rescript. Negotiation, though it
might have prevented it, could never recall it. Besides,
Mr. Gladstone was at great pains to show that the Pope
is in the hands of the ultra party in the Roman Church,
the party bitterly hostile to this country, and determined
in their arrogance and bigotry to push matters to every ex-
tremity against us. To be sure Mr. Gladstone has, with
great ingenuity, in flat contradiction to his former state-
ment, sought to prove that this was the measure, not of
the ultra, but moderate party at Rome; but, as both
these statements cannot be true, and as the former is
confirmed by the unexceptionable authority of Lord
Shrewsbury, we take the liberty of adopting it in pre-
ference to its contradiction, which Mr. Gladstone asserts
with equal confidence. Mr. Gladstone admits that we
have a right to see that the aggression is not of a tem-
poral nature, and in the same breath denies our right to'
inquire into the necessity of the new hierarchy; but is
not the fact that the new hierarchy is not wanted for
spiritual purposes pregnant proof that it is intended to
servo some temporal object? If we are to leave to the
Roman Catholics unfettered judgment as to what ec-
clesiastical changes they require, and, under the advice
of Mr. Gladstone, to renounce the use of our reason
on the subject, what safeguard does he leave us
against the encroachments of a religion which
has ever refused to distinguish between tem-
poral and spiritual authority, and always em-
ployed the second as a means of obtaining the first?
Mr. Gladstone admits the arrogance of the brief and the
pastoral, but he does not admit what is quite as evident
as their arrogance, the claim of dominion which they
put forth on behalf of a power which has never renounced
its claim to the feudal sovereignty of England. We
ought, he says, to meet this arrogance with fresh conci-
liation, for, if not, we shall unite the Ronan Catholics
against us, and strengthen the hands of the ultra party
at Rome. Surely, after we have seen the Roman Catho-
lic Members putting up their votes to auction for the
purpose of revenge, and felt in the recent aggression the
utmost rancour of the ultra party at Rome, but little is
left for us to fear. Whatever be Mr. Gladstone's merits
as an apologist of the Pope, they are not appreciated
either by the House or the country, neither of which
evince the least inclination to place themselves under the
guidance of statesmen who, regardless of the just sus-
ceptibilities of the nation, conceal their own lukewarm
attachment to Protestantism behind the loosely-worn
mask of a spurious liberality.
DAILY NEWS.—After a fortnight's bearing of the
opinion of parties relative to the Ecclesiastical Titles
Assumption Bill, the House of Commons have decided
by 438 votes against 95 that it will proceed with the
measure. That there exists a majority for strengthen-
ing the Bill, at least as far as regards England, and for
rendering it, as the Leeds Mercury justly desires, self-
executory, there cannot be a doubt. And that there is
also a general desire to exempt Ireland, if it can be done,
without giving a triumph to Rome, is also very mani-
fest. And yet the Bill would not affect any of the pre-
sent Roman Catholic bishops in Ireland, save one. One
of the great difficulties in the debate, as well as in deal-
ing with the question, is certainly the habit in which
political parties have been of humouring and flattering
the Irish Roman Catholics, instead of meeting them in
the manly and open language of frankness and honest
respect. The language of Peelites, Whigs, and even Ra-
dicals, has so long been that of cajolery and compliment,
thatinstead of being able to meet the Irish intelligent
Roman Catholic face to face, and telling him what is
objectionable and dangerous in his Church, government,
and religious tendencies, this duty has been so shrunk
from and blinked, that the language, when necessarily
resorted to, has all the air of insult. The Whigs have
now been reduced to the necessity of speaking thus
openly to the Roman Catholics, of objecting to the con-
sequences of their Roman allegiance and Austrian Con-
nexion,
and to the principle of rendering all political
considerations subordinate to the desires or the honours
of their priesthood. The necessity of stating these ob-
jections, of acting upon them, and making them matters
of legislation, bas fallen on the Whigs; whilst the onus
and the obloquy are rejected by the Peelites, who, with
Sir James Graham, continue their old cajolery to the
Irish Roman Catholics, in the vain, the idle, and inte-
rested hope of swelling a party. It is this attitude of
the Peelites which has given inveteracy to the debate,

LIVERPOOL, MARCH 25.—The arrivals, with exception of
flour from America, have been small this week. Having a
good attendance at market to-day, wheat was in fair request,
and most qualities commanded an advance of fully 2d per 70
lbs en the rates of that day week. Flour was in good demand,
at an improvement of 6d per barrel and per sack. Oats were Id
per 45 lbs, and oatmeal 3d to 4d per lb dearer. Beans and peas
6d per qr dearer. Barley and malt in retail demand, and with-
out change in value. Indian corn in good request, and the
turn dearer.
Limns, MARCH 25.—The arrivals of grain were moderate.
We continued to experience a steady sale for all fresh qualities
of English wheat at rather improved prices. Barley brought
fully as much money. Oats, spellings, and beans were each a
trifle dearer.
NEWCASTLE CORN MARKET, MARCH 25.—The supply
of wheat of all descriptions to this day's market was small.
Trade ruled exceedingly firm at Saturday's prices ; indeed, in
some instances rather more money was obtained. Malting
barley fair sale, and a shade higher. Flour was held for mere
money. In other articles, no change.
NEWCASTLE CATTLE MARKET, MARCH 25.—The sup-
ply of fat cattle at to-day's market was about the same as on
last Tuesday. The quality was exceedingly good, and trade
tolerably active, yet prices ruled in favour of buyers, and part
remained unsold. The number of sheep was 300 less than
last market day. Trade brisk for all sorts at full rates, and
the whole taken off quickly. Number of beasts, 200; corres-

The continued wet weather still keeps alive the fear
that the ridge and valley roof of the Crystal Palace can-
not be made watertight—at least, not in time for the
opening on the Ist of May. Workmen are busily en-
gaged upon it, and there is no doubt that many of the
openings through which the rain penetrates are broken
panes of glass, which of course can be mended. The
mischief, however, is not altogether of this description;
and we observed that during the heavy showers yester-
day morning the spots of wet caused on the floor by
the drip from above followed very frequently the line of
the gutters. The present state of the building is seized
upon by all who are behindhand in their preparations as
an apology for further delay, and native and foreign
exhibitors who are not ready by the Ist of May will
not be slow to throw all the blame upon the
contractors and the Executive Committee. Im-
mense exertions coatinue to be made in carrying for-
ward the preliminary arrangements, but the nearer we
approach the time fixed for opening, the more doubtful,
or rather, wo may say, impossible, does it seem that all
will then be in order and fit for public inspection. Great,
however, as the intervening difficulties may be, we still
regard it as a matter of vital importance to the success
of the Exhibition that the Commissioners should keep
their plighted word. The first few days of the month of
May will probably determine its character, and if during
that critical period the preparations are still going for-
ward, and chaos is not reduced to order, what will be
thought of our punctuality? The Executive Committee
seem determined to do all that in them lies to secure the
derired result, for they have issued a caution to exhi-
bitors not to delay sending in their goods till the 2d of
April; by doing so at the last moment they may be dis-
appointed of the means of coaveyanee. Agricultural
and horticultural implements and machines must be de-
posited in the building by the `.9th inst. The selection
for trial will be made by the jury on the Ist of April,
and the actual trials will commence on the 2d. The
arrivals of packages, both from home and foreign con-
tributors are daily and hourly increasing, and an im-
mense number of hands are incessantly employed in
every part of the building.

THE STANDARD LIFE ASSURANCE
JL COMPANY.
Constituted by Act of Parliament.
Established 1825.
Loudon-82, King William-street.
PROGRESS of the BUSINESS in the YEAR 1850.
891 New Policies were issued by this Company during the year
ending 15th November, 1850-861 for Assurances, and 30 for other
transactions.
The New Assurances during that period amounted to 509,1471. 10s.
6d., yielding new Annual Premiums to the amount of 17,550/.145. 9d.
The number of Proposals made to the Company during the same
period was 1,066, of which 861 were accepted, and 205 declined—the
whole sum proposed for Assurance being 621,9431. 14s. 2d.
A very large addition was made to the Funds of the Company, and
the Directors were still enabled to maintain a high rate of interest
on their Investments, which are almost entirely secured on Land or
on Government Securities.
PROGRESS of the BUSINESS-1845 to 1850.
The number of Proposals for Assurance made to the Company dur-
ing the last five years was 4,360, for Assurances to the amount of
2,737,9251. 4s. sd.
Of this number, 3,436 Proposals for Assurances, to the amount of
2,146,6411. 12s. 9d. were accepted ; and 924 for Assurances to the
amount of 591,2831. lie. Bd. declined.
The New Premiums on business transacted during the period
amounted, on an average, to about 14,7001. per annum, or 73,4801.
13s. in all of New Premiums.
The actual Expenses of conducting the business have not increased
during the period, and are consequently a much smaller per centage
on the revenue than in 1845.
The Revenue of the Company, at 15th November, 1850, was
169,1511. 1.65. 4d. per annum.
Information may be obtained regarding the Company's rates and
practice, by application at the Company's Offices, or at any of the
Agencies.

The FOURT El ANNUAL GENERAL MEETING of the Proprie-
tors of this Company took place on the 25th instant, at the Head
Office, at One o'clock precisely. The following is extracted from the
report, which is too lengthy for publication :
During the past year no claims have arisen from deaths in England.
and but two in Ireland—one for 5001. and the other for 2101.—making
together 7001., which have been paid. This is far below the expected
mortality, and is especially favourable, when it is remembered how
severely the life Office., generally suffered from the epidemic of last
year.
The number of lives assured between the let of June, 1849, and
the 31st of May, 1850, was more than double the number issued in
the twelve menthe preceding.
Proposals were made for 138 Policies, amounting to 52,963/. 2s. 6d.:
of these 123, comprising 106 lives, were accepted for 45,1251. 6s.
Wixteen Policies lapsed, representing 6,0481., upon which 320/. 3e.
was received by the Company in the shape of premiums.
Since the commencement of the Company to the let of June last,
assurances were effected to the extent of 110,9721. 125. 6d., pro-

MISS CATHERINE _HAYES.
ROME.—The operatic season here closed last Tuesday,
the 4th of March, with the opera of Maria de Bohan, in
which Miss Catherine Hayes appeared for twelve succes-
sive nights. Nothing could possibly exceed the sensa-
tion her singing and acting created. The enthusiasm
of the audiences, whose delight knew no bounds, was
manifested after a fashion that must have reminded your
fair countrywoman of her glorious reception in her
native city. The cavatina and duet from the Linda also
created great excitement. The last performance on
Shrove Tuesday, took place, as is the custom here in the
morning, o'clock,alsoallthe amusements of the

pleased to bear that the most distinguished individuals

Hayes marked attention. No dancing is permitted in
Rome during Lent, but the musical parties commenced
last evening. Miss Hayes had the honour of being
invited to one given by the Princess Borghese, by
whom she was introduced to the most distinguished of
the noble ladies present. Sho has also been honoured
with the diploma of " Sonna della Pontificia Congre-
gazione ed Accademia di Santa Cecilia," one of the
oldest and most respectable musical societies is Italy, the
last name enrolled in which is that of Madame Malibran.
Miss Hayes purposes to leave Rome in a fortnight, and
expects to be in London by the 10th of April. She in-
tends to remain in London for the entire season, as she
does not sail for America until autumn. She has bad
no less than ten offers to remain in Italy!—Musical

THE ScoTnser HOSPITAL.—A quarterly meeting
of this institution took place yesterday at Crane-court,
Fleet-street; Dr, Webster in the chair. The subject of the
site for the new building, which Lord James Stuart had in-
terested himself in with the Commissioners of Woods and
Forests, was al'uded to. A 1-gacy of 1,000/., bequeathed by
Mr. Ross, was also brought before the meeting, but after
some conversation it was agreed that the consideration of the
matter should be adjourned. Some routine business was
transacted, and the meeting separated.

and difficulty to the question. In truth the measure is
trifling in itself, though important as a symbol. But the
scope and reach of its actual penalties are so small that
it is really not worth discussing, and would not have
been seriously disputed had not the friends of the late
Sir Robert Peel made a mountain of the molehill,
and taken their party stand upon it, for the mere purpose
of showing how much more liberal and tolerant they
were than the Whigs. And Set such an appeal
as this to the Dissenters, and to the liberal
religionists, however adroitly made by such loose and
leading fishes of the party, as Sir J. Graham, is the
most profound of hypocrisies, coming from a band of
voliticians the ablest of whom entertain notions of reli-
gion and of ecclesiastical government, the most opposite
of intolerance, of voluntaryism, and of free thoughted-
ness. National Popery. a worship to enthral the senses,
and a doctrine to exclude the reasoning faculty, a go-
vernment of the State by professional politicians, and of
the religious mind and church by professional priests—
these are the doctrines of the Young Peelites ; and from
these naturally flow respect, affection, and symp'sthy for
Rome. The most crafty and able of these Papistical
wolves in Protestant sheep's clothing, is undoubtedly
Gladstone. Ile commenced his speech on Tuesday by
admitting that the Church of England was in serious peril.
The peril was not, in Mr. Gladstone's opinion, aught that
temporal legislation could cure. From this we can only
infer that Mr. Gladstone wishes to re-establish convoca-
tion, and restore synodal action to the Church of Eng-
land, whilst he allows it to the Church of Rome in England.
We must say that this scheme is the most extraordinary
one for allaying religious excitement that we have yet
heard. We can perfectly understand the American
system, which declares the State indifferent to religion
and a stranger to it, after hoving first passed education
laws, mortrnain laws for personal and real property, and
taken every guarantee that can be required against
Rome. We can conceive the Americans caring little
for Roman Catholic titles or synodal action. But in
England, to uphold a State Church, and then encourage
rival churches to jostle and pelt at it, is not possible.
The Protestant Established Church must be either pro-
tected or abolished as a State Church. As to the Pro-
testant Church in Ireland, Mr. Gladstone abandons it,
by alleging, with his friend Sir John Young, that it is
such a ricketty concern that the least quarrel with or
provocation to the Roman Catholics of that country
would give them the pretext, which they want, in ad-
dition to the power, which they have, to destroy it.
For our part, we had always hoped, and do hope
still, that a fair accord may be come to between
Protestants and Catholics, that the limits between
them may be fixed, and the rules laid down, as they
are in all countries of mixed religion, how far eacn
may assume and claim authority. But this must be
done by law and by Parliament—by that temporal legis-
lation, in fact, which Mr. Gladstone deprecates, and
without which the Roman Catholics will go on assuming,
and the Protestants resenting, until we awake in the
midst of civil war, and that whilst politicians are
preaching a peace and a tolerance, incomprehensible to
any save themselves. Mr. Gladstone says, that to forbid
a Roman Catholic to style himself Archbishop of Can-
terbury is an interference with spiritual authority. This
he would not do for the world. But the forbidding Ro-
man Catholic prelates or churches from inheriting pro-
perty, that may be done, according to Mr. Gladstone,
without infringing spiritual liberty. It is a temporal
concern. Now this is a mere quibble, for we will be
bound to say that more serious persecution could be ex-
ercised against the Roman Catholics, and far more seri-
ous discontent excited amongst them by following out
this principle of Mr. Gladstone, than in observing that
delicacy of Lord John Russell, who inflicts the
lenient inhibition to assume territorial titles. Al-
though we have slight respect for those professional
politicians, who, though calling themselvs Tories,
affect to pooh pooh the Bill as inefficient, and at the
same time denounce it as persecution, it is with
fear and reluctance we differ from such liberals as Mr.
Hume, in whose regret for the waking up of such a ques-
tion we fully concur. But we think Mr. Hume deci-
dedly wrong in throwing upon Government or upon the
Whig party the blame of havin,tr, excited this relgious
feud. The very principle of the Whigs is to keisp out
of such scrapes; their very instinct prompts then to do
nothing in such matters, and we are confident that if
Lord John Russell thought he could with safety and in
honour have done nothing, he would infinitely have pre-
ferred that course. But unfortunately Cardinal Wise-
man and the Popo left him no choice. Whet this pair
of worthies have dared and have done, may appear of
very little importance to those unactuated by strong re-
ligious feelings, or by principles of liberty which
are bound up .with these religious feelings,
such as English liberalism has always been.
These form the very pulse of the nation, and to
euppoge that it would not, or to say that it did not, (teat
with indignation at the appointment of a cardinal tot
vern our counties, is merely to shut one's eyes and it,7
nore the age. Considering that the cause of all this ex*
citement and offence came from the Roman Catholic
party in Rome;—considering that, far from
being denounced or disapproved, it was taken
up and abetted by the Catholics of Ire-
land ;—considering that the principle of the pre-
sent Bill already existed in the Act of 1829,
which was accepted with gratitude by the Irish Ca-
tholics;—considering how mild and tolerant the Govern-
ment had shown itself in sanctioning great and national
encroachments on the part of the Irish Catholics on the
limits of this Bill—we do think that when the Pope
so glaringly exceeded, and insolently stepped beyond
and ignored the concessions of that Bill, assuming of his
own autocratic power authority and dignity far beyond
it, and of course as far us it might in future please him
to make—we do think that the Government had a right
to expect no such uncomprising abettal of the Pope and
his acts from the Irish Catholics. We think the Pope
and ihem decidedly in the wrong, in the aggressive, and
on the offensive. Now, we should be very glad to
live at peace with the Pope; and it is still more
necessary to live in harmony and good understand-
ing with the Roman Catholic population. But there are
two parties to peace and good fellowship, as there are two
parties to every bargain in the world ; and if one side is
to make all the aggression and the other all the con-
cession, there is no possibility of lasting accord. For
let the Government or let Parliamentary parties be ever
so conciliatory—let them even be anile in their humility,
and allow themselves to be walked over by Roman Car-
dinals, the people of England and the Protestants of
England will be but the more excited, the more exigent,
the more impassioned fur this sheepishness of their
Government ; and when the people bring these causes
of complaint against their rulers, it is not the philosophy
of Mr. Hume, nor the sophistry of Mr. Gladstone, that
will appease them. If any statesman wants to kindle a
flame of Protestant fanaticism, he will begin by ignoring
and contemning the just grounds of complaint, which
moderate Protestants put forward, and for which they
demand moderate security and redress.

ADVERTISER—We feel that we breathe more
freely. So, we are sure, must the nation. If we are
called on as a people to be thankful for small mercies,
we are bound to be doubly grateful for so great a bles-
sing as the termination of the anti-Papal debate. It is
melancholy to think that a whole fortnight of a session,
which hag been so deplorably unproductive of practical
legislation, should have been wasted on a measure which,
were it to pass to-morrow, would not, as it now stands,
be worth the parchment on which it is written. The
only consideration which in some degree reconciles us to
a fortnight's debate on the Bill before the House, is,
that though it is, as it stands at present, a mere mockery
and fraud upon the public, there is still ground for
hope that it may, before it passes through its final
stages, be so amended as that its provisions shall bear
some resemblance to its preamble. As it now stands,
it has no provisions at all of an operative nature. It has
a title, but nothing more. It professes to do a certain
thing, but does not provide the requisite machinery for
accomplishing the object which it professes to have in
view. Happily, however, it is in the power of the House,
when in Committee, to supply that which is lacking.
It is, indeed, the special province of the House, in
Committee, to add that which is necessary for rendering
a measure efficient, as well as to expunge that which is
calculated to prevent the beneficial operation of a Bill.
If, therefore, the friends of Protestantism—the upholders
of the prerogatives of the Crown—the supporters of the
cause of civil and religious liberty, are only true to
themselves and their principles, the measure may yet be
so altered and amended as to be, at least, to some extent
operative in checking the aggressions of Popery. As
the House in Committee has the power of thus remodel-
ling the measure, and as Hon. Gentlemen know that the
country loudly calls for it, and that the House of Lords
will give effect to any amendments they
may make, cal-
culated to give greater stringency to the Bill—we cannot
doubt that before it comes out of Committee it will be a
very different measure from what it is at present. It is
not for us to dictate in positive terms what the Bill ought
to be made; but we know that we only give expressionsl tbo..

was something; and had it been permitted to pass with-
out mutilation, it would have been worth accepting on
the part of the country. The Premier unhappily aban-
doned his principles, and all the better parts of the Bill,
at the same time. lie fancied he could conciliate the
Romish Church by transforming the original measure
into one of a much milder character. In coming to such
a conclusion, the head of the Government betrayed an
ignorance of the principles of Popery which seems un-
accountable in any one bearing the name of Russell.
The martyrdom which some of the most illustrious of
his ancestors were doomed to suffer from Popish hands
would have sufficed, it might be supposed, to convince
the Noble Lord of the implacable character of the
Romish Church. That Church is not to be propitiated.
If she ever appears humble, gentle, and unaggressive, it
is only when she feels herself feeble—when she has not
the power for mischief. When in the ascendancy. Po-
pery has invariably proved itself arrogant, aggressive,
and despotic. Regarding all without her pale as
doomed to perdition, Rome accords toleration to none
who differ from her. Genuine Papery is only to be seen
