ampton, had a aid right to adopt the course of con-
vening a public 7 meeting., and we admit that much
may be said far it, yet;, as we conceive, many of the
knaves or simpletons whom they meant to expose

will consider it a sort of terrestrial beatification to

be made notorious ;al. any way. By their brains
they could not hair, e secured a moment's attention,
and they may be at too happy if they can do it
byenactingthe cl erical Merry-Andrew or some-
thing worse. "'Mr e are the men who made all the
stir the other day, and we are the men who don't
care either for all Your Lords, and Generals, and
Colonels !" May not such be the feeling of a few
insignificant fifty-rptuid a-year curates in or about

NN ho, if they had been or-
Southampton—ir ,any
,necessors of ST. CRISPIN, and not
dained by the F
T. PETE, would never have raised
by those of S R
themselves b eyond the cobler's stall, perhaps not
even have filtained. ilia dignity.
For ow-selves we .confess that if we are tempted
to the ungentlemanly act of laughing at a fellow-
creatnre whom we n ieet in the streets, it is by the
sight of the white 'neckcloth, close buttoned vest,
long Noah's-ark co at and face which appears unto
men to fast, of the Anglican Young Parson who
every now and awn confronts us. Unwillingness
to send him on glorying in persecution, as much
as anything, p reserves us from ill-bred risibility,
at least Brom ~lhowing it. We cannot stay to argue
whether such feelings are right, but such
are our Aelings, and we pass on muttering
to ourselv r...s epithets drawn from the natural pro-
perties ot .certain innocent animals, whom we need
not just. now summon from the Zoological Gardens,
or the ca mmon. To us it will appear so ineffably
ludicrous that our University weanlings should
exhibit t hemselves with such solemn folly, that we
must gi,re free play to our mirthful impulses before
we could admit, or yield to, others of a graver
kind. )if we had to sit in judgment on Punch we
must be permitted to have our laugh out first, and
then inqpire into malicious intentions, damages, and
all that.
But elle noble chairman, Lord H. CHOLMON-
DELEY, will assure us that the business is a very
grave one, and Lord SHAFTESBURY and the clergy-
men will back his representatives, and the Evan-
gelical Generals will tell us that it is the most dan-
gerous of errors to despise an enemy. For their
consolation we may assure them that they cannot
detest more cordially than we do, all the genuine
superstitions and mummeries of Rome, and all the
Brummagem imitations of them manufactured by
our Anglican forgers and coiners. The whole
scheme of Apastolical succession, baptismal regene-
ration by a priestly act of transubstantion by a
priestly fiat, of confession and absolution by priestly
authority, and all the rest of it, is to us so much
unmitigated imposture upon our understanding
or upon our senses. We should, therefore,
think it a grave matter indeed, could we believe
that there was any more danger of the reviviscence
of such superstitions among the mass of the people,
than there is of restoring the reign of sorcery and
witchcraft. With all the parade of Cardinal WISE-
MAN, and all the fooleries of Puseyism, we are con-
fident that never was the soil of England less
genial than now for Popery. The very character
of all modern science, based as it now is, not on
human fancies, but on Divine facts, as established
in the order of creation, is as deadly a foe to Popery
as it is to Hindooism, and it pervades all minds.
The Church has decreed that GALILEO is a heretic,
and his doctrine a lie—every educated man be-
lieves, therefore, that the Church is the liar, and
the Pope the heretic. And this tone of thinking
runs through the science of the day, though another
case so strong it might be difficult to find.
Where are the converts to Puseyism and Popery
found ? Have any of our sound-minded men and
women believed in them ? Does any of our readers
know a single convert in whose mind he could not
have pointed out, previously to his conversion,
some peculiar twist—some want of even balance
of faculties—or in whose circumstances he can-
not trace the misleading cause ? With many
Puseyites most persons well know that all
may be easily accounted for. As to our single
ladies, especially those of mature years, we need
not particularise. Caprice, fancy, fashion, ennui,
tendency to confide in the lords of creation, and
even fashionitself, in certain little circles, are causes
enough of all the perversions we occasionally wit-
ness. It remains to be seen whether we can guard
our young ladies and our poor women against
father confessors, by holding public meetings and
petitioning the QUEEN. She is head of the Church,
and we suppose head of English fashion too; two
important points for the aristocracy at least. But
these ecclesiastical young damsels are told that the
Head of the Church resides at Rome, and that the
QUEEN is a heretic. We hope the whole thing
will not be made too much of. If the promoters of
such meetings were hearty in the matter, would
they not first try to purify what Lord CHATHAM
designated our Popish liturgy of all in it that leads
o Rome ?
