ARCHBISHOP MANNING ON THE ROlif°

Q UE4'TION.

- _
Yesterday evening the Benevolent Society for the
Relief of the Aged and Infirm Poor, which is t'
oldest Roman Catholic charity in the metropolis'
held its anniversary at the Albion Tavern, Alders;
i
gate-street. The Right Rev. Bishop Grant Was f
the chair, and was supported by the Most Re
ci
Archbishop Manning, the Rev. Dr. Gilbert, 4/38
many other gentlemen, clerical and lay, of the °ln
communion.
At the conclusion of the dinner,

Archbishop MANNING said that by the perralss
of the chairman he was allowed the happiness :or
proposing the first toast, which could be no ,t
than " The Health of the Supreme Pontiff, •Liie
the Ninth." (Loud cheers.) The feeling which t;
name of his Holiness always elicited must this year
be far more intense, and far more deeply felt,
at any other time--(hear, hear)--and he confess"
that he could hardly picture to himself anYthil
more majestic than the appearance of the o°'
Father, walking to and fro in the streets of 110111e'
in perfect tranquillity of heart, and with unshaken
confidence in God, while the whole world are°j
was in fear and trembling. If there could be 3"fc'
thing more majestic than this it was the preselo
of the Supreme Pontiff in the hospitals of
wounded, ministering to those who had lifted Oa
their hands against him. (Cheers.) In this they hail

the French Emperor to protect the Pope Lena 0 of
