taking this bold step which has been taken already by Miss
Morice, in opposition to the assaults, and in order to put an
end, in a great measure, at any rate, to the violent attacks
which are made by these our enemies against our beloved
Church. lam confident that the time will come when
those of our landlords who are Churchmen will be made to
feel their moral obligations to God and man to such a de-
gree as to impel them, as it were, bravely to vindicate the
rights of our Church. The conduct of the Dissenting par-
ties towards our Church at the present day is very different
from what it was in old times, and deserves the most se-
rious attention of all landed proprietors; the generality of
them that hold land have for their landlords those who
are strongly attached to the Church ! and though they are
dependent, in a manner, for their livelihood upon. them, yet
they are most inimical and hostile to the Church. How
absurd and inconsistent is it for a Church person to allow
his tenant to rail most bitterly against the Church he loves.
And how preposterous is it to find our extensive landed
proprietors, who seemingly are very zealous for the Church
of their forefathers, tolerating such an impertinency in their
Dissenting tenants. If they have any regard to truth, if
they have any love for the Church, if they have any de-
sire to be consistent with themselves as Churchmen, and
if they have any feeling at all of their moral obligations
and great responsibility to God as landowners, let them
come out boldly and bravely to defend their own
Church, and to promote its welfare in the
world by following Miss Morice's example whose
conduct in this affair is most worthy of imita-
tion. All those who are owners of land must take
into consideration that they are only stewards under the
sole proprietor of all things, and must render a minute ac-
count to him of the use which they shall have made of their
property, as well as everything else, and must stand or fall
accordingly. It is, therefore, high time for those who are
entrusted with worldly riches and property seriously to
consider their duty to God, to the Church, and to the reli-
gion there published, protected, and promoted, so as to call
them forth to act consistently with their profession as sup-
porting the glorious principles of; our Church. And this
is what Miss Morice now does by conscientiously choosing
for her tenants those who are church-going persons, and
also by setting before her Dissenting tenants (some of
whom are most bigoted and opposed to Church principles)
two alternatives, in order to give them sufficient liberty to
choose for themselves. The very fact of her giving them
their choice is at once a proof that she is not at all desirous
of compelling or forcing them to become Church people
contrary to their wishes and inclinations ; but, on the con-
trary, that if they cannot conscientiously make up their
minds to attend our Church regularly and exclusively, from
good will and principles, she feels her moral obligation so
great and binding upon her as to oblige her to have re-
course to that only mode of proceeding which is left her,
namely, to change them for those who can and will with
pleasure and delight support our Church with all their might
from freedom of choice and conscientious motives. She
considers that the property is hers, and that, in a political
sense she is at liberty to do what she pleases with her own,
but feels that she is only a steward under another, and has
a duty to perform towards God and his cause, and conse-
quently is morally bound to act from conscience and principle
by renting it out to those persons who are of the same prin-
ciples and views as herself. She firmly believes that it is
as much her moral duty to be conscientious in the use of her
property as it is for her tenants to be in the choice of the place
of worship which they will attend ; and she is of opinion
that she has as much power and authority thus to act in
reference to her property as they have to choose the chapel
rather than the church, and that it is quite as reasonable,
as fair, as lawful, and as consistent with the spirit and prin-
ciples of the Christian religion, for her to do all the good
she can with her estate to support and promote the interests
of Christianity in the Church as it is for her tenants to do
what they can with what they possess for the support and
promotion of Methodism in the chapel ; and in doing so she
can and ought to be as conscientious as they pretend to be,
and the same liberty of conscience ought to be allowed for
both sides. There is no more force or compulsion used by
her towards them than there is by them towards her. Both
parties are free agents, and can act freely. She has a claim
to the farms which they occupy, and can do as she pleases
with them ; she feels her moral responsibility, and in con-
sequence has made up her mind to rent them to persons
who will, from principle and conscience, support the same
views as herself ; and I am fully persuaded that the spirit
of the Christian religion is quite as much evinced in this as
it is in the fact of her Dissenting tenants making use of
those advantages which they derive from their connection
withher land as such to support principles and views which
are quite contrary to those of their landlady ; and it is very
surprising to see in the Banner and Amserau Cymru a
great deal of blame laid upon Miss Morice for insisting upon
the tenants attending the Catholic Church. Surely there is
nothing wrong in this easy command when they see thou-
sands of the best, wisest, and most learned men in the na-
tion attending constantly there. Are such persons as these
not able to bo compotentjudges in religious matters as well
as tho followers of the meeting-house ? And do we not
frequently see the strictest Dissenters, of their own free will,
bringing up their darling sons to be ministers of that church
which they themselves will not vouchsafe to enter ? Let
them then retrain from blaming a lady for consistently doing
what she considers to be her duty in upholding that Church
which has been for ages the delight and comfort of the best
of men. CLuRICUS.

also distinguished himself here, as he did all day, by his
bravery and coolness.
" In the struggle for the gate one captain of Piedmontese
Bersaglieri had his sabre broken by a b ill, and narrowly
escaped a baytmet stab. A lieutenant was badly wounded

;
and the enemy retired, leaving their dead lying against
gate, and strewing the road up to it.
" In repelling this assault we were greatly aided by the
deadly fire of the Franco Beiges, who exposed themselves,
but decimated the enemy.
"The enemy did not renew the assault, but kept up a
heavy fire of shot and shell from the four batteries before
mentioned, and from a fifth which had been constructed in
the course of the day ; at the same time the Bersaglieri, of
whom he had several battalions, kept our men constantly
on the alert, the more so as they had cover in every direc-
tion, at distances varying from 100 to 400 yards, which
completely commanded every part of our encientc.
" We were obliged to call for volunteers to carry down,
under a heavy fire, cartridges, biscuit, and water for the
men, as it was absolutely impossible for them to returninto
the central building to eat.
" The enemy's shells twice set fire to the roof and rooms
over the powder magazine ; but the fire was with some
difficulty extinguished.
" On going up to have the put out I discovered that the
gendarmes and others, whom I had counted on as a reserve,
had with their officers taken refuge in the cellars, and could
not be got to work to carry water to the fire, much less to
pass the hail of balls which rained on the gate leading out.
" The combat continued thus until nightfall, when I had
to reflect on my position. The gate was still unforced, and
the height to be scaled at the breaches considerable, and I
had lost very few men, With adequatereserves I might have
held out, but my few soldiers were exhausted with the fa-
tigues of the preceding days, and a struggle which had lasted
under a broiling sun without intermission for 12 hours;
and the Italian troops, who should have relieved them, hay.
ing been hiding all day under beds and cellars, were mani-
festly not to be trusted to repel a night assault I had no
cannon, and very few rifle cartridges, and could not, there-
fore, prevent the enemy from establishing himself close to
the walls ; the gate and walls round it were greatly shaken,
and the central building had suffered considerably.
" Under these circumstances, I determined to submit

but the following facts, for which I am indebted to the
Piedmontese General and his officers, will enable you to
form an estimate of it :
" The Piedmontese loss in artillery was 30 men killed ;
wounded, number unknown ; and four horses disabled.
"The loss in one company of Bersaglieri at the assault
was nine killed and 22 wounded ; the other company about
the same ; grenadiers somewhat less. Total killed at the
assault about 30 ; one lieutenant dangerously wounded.
General Brignone and two captains received bullets in their
clothes.
"The total number a Piedmontese, as nearly as I could
ascertain, was about 100 killed and 300 wounded.
"May I beg to bring under your notice the following
names of the officers and men who particularly distin-
guished themselves :
" Among the officers I must particularly mention
Captain Baron de Baye, of the artillery, attached, who was
by my side the whole day. Captain Coppinger, who
showed throughout courage, coolness, and judgment, and
particularly distinguished himself in repelling the assault,
as did Second Lieutenants Crean, Lynch, and Stafford.
Second Lieutenant Cronin also displayed peculiar courage
and coolness. Adjutant Mullhaul was ever to be found at
the most dangerous post, carrying orders and ammunition
under showers of balls. Adjutant Antilly, of the Pontifical
Artillery, did his duty with remarkable courage and cool-
ness. Of the Franco- Beiges it would be impossible to
speak too highly, and the difficulty is in selecting any
where all the 23 behaved so well. I may, however, men-
tion, as peculiarly deserving of praise Sergeant Thoumeley,
Crespin (Silvain) ; Terrier (Joseph) ; Margerie (Alex-
andre) ; Baron de Forstner and Vicomte d'Agrean.
" Sergeant Schcefler, of the Carabineers, behaved particu-
larly well.
"Of the two companies of Irish I remarked particularly
Sergeants-Major Deady and Lloyd ; Sergeants O'Neill,
Fitzpatrick, and Bannon; Privates Ward (Michael), Bus-
ten" Walker (William), Walsh ; Corporal 14 Wermott, of
N0..2 Company. Many others deserve especial mention,

The social revolution in postal and passenger
conitnunication botweeen Dublin and London com-
menced yesterday, and the ENperitnent was in all re-
spects a complete success. The following account
of the run is supplied by Sir Cusack Roney :
"It was precisely at half-past seven yesterday
morning that the first train under the new postal
and passenger arrangements between London and
Dublin started from the Euston station. For some
time past Mr. Cawkwell, the General Manager of
the London and North-Western Company, has de-
voted himself to securing the successful accomplish-
ment of this great national object, and we have
reason to know that no effort which experience,
skill, and earnestness could suggest has been want-
ing his part to secure the complete and efficient
working of the new system. The train which
started at the time above mentioned consisted of
three passenger carriages, two large post-office
sorting vans, and two break vans. The post-office
arrangements were under the personal direction of
Mr. Edward Page, the Inspector-General of Mails,
who accompanied the train throughout, and also
crossed in the Leinster from Holyhead to King
town. Before describing the progress of the tortaoir

ter at 11.59 a.m., or one minute after time, it
ran to Holyhead ticket platform, a distance of
84 miles, in two hours and two minutes, conse-
quently arriving there exactly at 1 minute after
2 p.m. As the stations of this line are familiar
to our readers, we may state that Rhyl, 301 miles
from Chester, was passed in 40 minutes, or at
12.39 p.m.; the Conway Tubular-bridge, 15 miles
further, in 21 minutes, or at 1 p.m. precisely ;
Bangor station, a further length of 15 miles, in 24
minutes, or at 1 24 p.m., three minutes being lost
in this length owing to the repairs of the road near

entered at 1 28 p.m., and from there to Holyhead
ticket platform, 24 miles, the distance was accom-
plished in 33 minutes. The delay at the ticket
platform and running down to the packet pier oc-
cupied eight minutes, and from the time the train
came to a stand-still at the packet pier until the
Leinster commenced turning her paddlewheels
exactly seven minutes were consumed ; conse-
quently the vessel started at 2 16 p.m. London
time. Exclusive of stoppages, the time of the
train from the Euston station to the Holyhead
pier was six hours and ono minute, which brings
the running speed to exactly 15 miles an hour ; and
this rate of progrers was regularly accomplished
throughout the journey. It did not exceed it, and
never appeared to be less. The speed of the trai:,
including stoppages, is exactly 40 miles an hnoube'
