with having mutilated or suppressed any portion of the
letter. We gave it a conspicuous place, and left the
reader at the tail of an article, which the same jour-
nal complained of as a long one, to draw his own infe-
rences, touching the veracity of the Rev.. Bishop,
• whom we stated to have himself fernished all the Ile-
: •
cessary evidence on the question, pro and con.
The letter is, undoubtedly, one of some impor-
tance, and the first use to which it ought to be con-
verted is to illustrate the political dexterity of the learned
and pious author. The Rev. Dr. Murray assures, or seems
to assure Lori Melbourne, that he does not entertain
the doctrines attributed to him (together with the other
Popish Bishops) viz., those contained in Dens's
Theology, and he appeals to " his solemn oath" in con-
firmation of this assurance. It would be well if Dr.
Murray had also informed Lord Melbourne what was
the nature of the obligation, less solemn, we take for
granted, than an oath, by which he conceived himself
bound to inculcate upon the members of the Roman
Catholic church under his guidance, the doctrines " of
the true faith," according to his own creed, and to his
own opinion ; and this becomes of the more urgent
consequence, because, notwithstanding another denial
(or seeming denial) of the Rev. titular Archbishop, we
are afraid the weight of evidence, his own evidence too,
is lamentably against him, with regard to the vital
fact of his having authorized, and strenuously recom-
mended, as the best book of Popish theology that
could be republished for the use of the clergy, this
very work, called Dens's Theology, of which in his
letter to Lord Melbourne he repudiates the doc-
trines, as being inconsistent with " his solemn oath."
The Archbishop says, he did not " direct the work
of Dens to be published," and that it was undertaken
as a private speculation, " entirely at his own risk," by
a respectable " bookseller," &c. 'We are really tempted
to ask here whether Dr. Murray has ever graduated in
one of those exquisite seminaries-which we see multi-
plying on every side of us, in England as well as Ire-
land, for perpetuating and
.extending the peculiar ac-
complishments of that society of which one Ignatius
Loyola was the founder ? Dr. Murray did not
" direct" the publication I No ; but, he deliberately
did that which he knew at the time would cause the
publication. In conjunction with his brother titulars,
in the year 1808, be officially and emphatically recom-
mended the publication of the work, and as the respect-
able publisher was to take the " risk upon himself," Dr.
Murray and his reverend brethren took special care to
reduce that risk to zero, by providing such an ecclesias-
tical market for the book as should take off two editions
of 3,000 copies each, and produced a demand for more !
It would be altogether impossible to treat this or any
other subject with ability more commanding than that
which was displayed in the article of last night's
Standard. Our vigorous and downright Contemporary
has inflicted on Dr. Murray, through his own words
and deeds—the deeds of other years and the professions
of this--a ruthless and unperishing exposure. 'We
have a Romish Bishop first reproaching the Protes-
tant world for that it has accused him of enterta;e.
the doctrines which are found in a certain
digest of theology, as being directly contrary to his
oath. We have him next declaring, in express terms,
that he had never directed the publication of this
work, or made it a text-book for his clergy. But in
close juxta-position with these very solemn disclaimers,
there stares- us in the face the following statement of
facts, being, in truth, an unquestioned and unquestion-
able record of the real proceedings of this same Arch-
bishop—this, in one pungent sense, self-denying Pre-
late—which, partly as a mark of respect for our even.
ing contemporary, and partly because it would be dif-
ficult for us, after any degree of labour, to produce
the statement or the argument in an equally effective
form, we here extract from the Standard of yesterday
evening :
" There lives in the city of Dublin a highly respectable
bookseller named Coyne. This gentleman is the official book-
seller of the Roma., Catholic College at Maynooth ; he is also
the official bookseller of the Roman Catholic usurping
Bishops ; he is, in fact, the only Catholic bookseller in the
Irish metropolis. At his house were held all the earlier meet-
ings of the Roman Catholic Association, until the fatal folly
of Lord Liverpool's Government permitted that conspiracy to
outgrow the accommodation that a private dwelling could
afford. Now, Mr. Coyne publishes, amongst other things, an
Annual Directory, with the following title—" The Order
of reciting the Divine Office, and of Celebrating the Mass ;
for the use of the Venerable Secular Clergy of Ireland for the
year 1835 ; arranged by Patrick Woods, Presbyter. By the
Order of the most Illustrious and most Reverend the Arch-
bishop of Dublin : and to be carefully observed by his Clergy.
" Dublin, printed by Richard Coyne,- 4, Capel.street,
Printer and Publisher to the Royal College, St. Patrick,
Mayneoth.'
" The London Gazette is evidence in a court of justice as
to all the executive acts of the Crown. The statutes published
by the King's printer are received in all courts of justice as
conclusive evidence of the law. Why ? Because they are
.the official acts of an authorized officer; as such, they are
complete as legal evidence the very moment they issue from
the press, without allowing the least delay for revisal or revo-
cation. How much is their weight, as moral testimony, how-
ever improved, when, after having passed for days, and weeks,
and months, and years, without animadversion or disclaimer,
. any of these documents is, from time to time, republished ?
Now, apply the reason of this canon of evidence to Mr. Coy ne's
Directory.' First, he is the otfcial publisher of the Roman
Catholic iliirarchy. Next he publishes t' e • order' of each
year, at the express command of Dr. Murray himself. Thirdly,
he has been long in. the office without having incurred re-
proof or disavowal. Lestly, the very subect-matter of con-
troversy was eight or nine months printed and circulated
emongst the Roman Catholic priests before ene whisper of dis-
claimer was • breathed against it; nor was it disclaimed until
a disavowal became a matter of absolute necessity !
" Have we connected Dr. Murray sufaciently with Mr.
Cones Directory ?' We suppose it will not be disputed
that we have. Now let us see how this Directory' connects
the Doctor with Dens's book. In the catologue annexed to
the Directory,' we End the following notice :
*" At a meeting of the Roman Catholic prelates of Ireland,
assembl'ed in Dublin, on the 14th of Septeni!),--, NOS, t,-ey
le-emits-Ka/34 agreed, that Dens's Complete Body of Theology
was the best book ou the subject- that could be republished,
as enetsining the most secure guidance for such ecclesiastics
as may, by reason of the peculiar circumstances of this coun-
try, be deprived of the opportunity of referring to public li-
braries, or censuiting those who may be placed in authority
over them; in consequence, an edidou of this work was orderer
to be :seitocd by tile present publisher, to the number of 3,00)
copies.'"

.OMIS

On tha 14th cf September, 1808, Dr. Murray was Co-
reljutor Archbishop of Dubiia : he was, consequently, one of
those who 61-dered the publieation of that work, the publication
of which he now demies ever having been ordered at ail! This
boa ever, is not all. The notice il-eceeds to say, that the
work is now (the fall of 1834) very rare, and scarcely to be
met with, and, inasmuch as his Grace. Dr. Murray, Dr.
Doyle, Dr. Keating, and Dr. Kinsela, have made it the
conference book for the clergy of the province of Leinster, the
publisher, as well to obviate the difficulty experienced by them,
as also to advance the cause of religion and morality in the
other pacts of the Irish Church, is induced to reprint a limited
number of copies.
The supplementary matter above referred to has been
added with the sanction and approbation of his Grace the most
Rev. Dr. Murray.'
" Here is a plain acknowledgment that the first edition of
Dens was ordered by a body of whom Dr. Murray was one
constituent ; and that the second edition was approved of
and sanctioned by the same reverend person ; an acknow-
ledgement published in the official annual, by the Doctor's
own official printer and publisher; and lying at least nine
months under his eye, without contradiction If he is per-
mitted to deny this, we must give him leave to deny his own
existence I"

So much for the auspices under which that work was
published, with the publishing of which Dr. Murray,
conscious of the above truths, and harassed likewise by
the simultaneous consciousness that the doctrines of
the book were no less theoretically hostile to hrs so-
lemn oath, than the acts which the author enjoined
were so many practical violations of it, protests in sub-
stance that he had no connection ! We used in our
simplicity to believe,.and our political opinions were
for many years. grievously biassed by that flattering,
but false persuasion, for false it now appears—we used
to believe that nothing hut the prejudice of rivalr)
and traditional distrust could ascribe to any class of
profeSsing Christians, that faith was not to be kept
with any other Christian body who disagreed with them
dcetrine. Good heavens ! how have the men of
tins gcncration—and ourselves, the least wise among
them—disparaged and condemned the " wisdom of
our (Protestant) ancestors !" and what a price are we
now to pay for that insolent impiety ! This Dr.
Murray, by the naked exhibition of his unpainted
Popery, is %vorth little less than a resurrection of Wil-
ham of glorious memory from the dead. He shows us
at once what the whole race is, by recalling to us what
they ever have been. - He parades his oath, to mock
us by the value he sets upon it. He abjured the oath
by his attested acts, and now abjures those acts .be-
./..nu:,e they are 5o many living
.ac;:ucAtions of perjury.
We s;aunot now pursue this question further, .but we
eliano-worrow avail -ourselves of Mr. Coyne's Off'_

cial Directory for 1835, to bring Dr. Murray into
further conflict with himself, in the matter of his denial
of Dens's Theology for his " text book." We may
also be tempted, so far as decency will allow us, to ex-
hibit to those who know how to profit by the exposure,
some specimens of the religious exercises which that
characteristic work prescribes, and of the nature of
that intercourse which the Popish Church not autho-
rizes only, but enjoins, between fathers-confessor and
their male and female penitents.—Times.

LONDON,
TUESDAY EVENING, JULY 7, 1835.

The Corporation Bill passed through Committee
last night, and loud cheers testified the joy of the
Home as the final clause was ordered to stand part of
the Bill. Lord JOHN RUSSELL made several amend-
ments in certain clauses, which were ail agreed to.
The most important was, that the capital of Corpora-
tion debts should be paid, as well as interest. Ano-
ther amendment was to the effect that Corporate Funds
should not be alienated, except for the public benefit, and
with the consent of the inhabitants. Certain boroughs
are to be divided into wards, as follows :—lf it 'shall
appear by the last acco%lA taken of the population, or
upon the taking of any future account, that the popu-
lation of a borough shall exceed 12,000 persons, and
not exceed 18,000, that such borough shall be divided

itro two wards :
" And that the number of Councillors to be chosen in each
ward shall be any number, so that the whole number of Court-
cidors of such borough shall not be less than fifteen persons,
and not more than twenty-one persons; and if the population
such borough shall then appear to exceed eighteen thou-
?;and persons, and not to exceed twenty.four thousand persons,
that such borough shall be divided into any number of wards
not more than four, and that the number of Councillors to
chosen in each ward shall be any number, so that the
whole nunibtr of Councillors shall not be less than twenty. one
ia.-races, and not more than twenty-four persons; and if the
popuLtion of such borough shall then appear to exceed
twenty-four thousand persons, that such borough shall be di.
vided into so many wards, not less than four, as to his Ma-
jesty shall seem fit, and that the number of Councillors to be
chosen in each ward, shall not be less than six: and if his
Majesty shall be pleased to cause the particulars of such di-
vision or re-division into wards, and the number of Councillors
assigned to each ward in such borough, to be published by
Royal proclamation in the London Gazette, every such bo-
rough shall thenceforward be deemed to be divided into such
and so many wards, as shall have been so last declared and
published; and the - number of persons to be elected Council-
lors in each ward of every such borough, shall be the number
so last declared and published as aforesaid."

The Schedules will be taken into consideration to-night,
and it is expected that by Monday next matters will
be in such a state that the Report will be brought up.
We may therefore expect, that next Tuesday or Wed-
nesday, the Bill will be read a third time, and con-
signed to the care of the Lords.

The Tories—or Conservatives, as they delight to
call themselves, for they are ashamed, and with justice,
of their old designation---are endeavourir gto get up
the same sort of party display at Cambridge, that they
got up last year at Oxford. The Installation of the
Marquis CAMDEN has furnished them with a plausi-
ble opportunity for mustering in full force on the banks
of the Cam ; and accordingly there they are, with
the Duke of WELLINGTON at their head, waking the
the echoes of old Granta with all those party shouts
in which the meek and beneficent genius of Toryism
so much delighteth. If, however, these zealots think
that the country will sympathize with their rejoicings,
and respond to their shouts, they will find themselves
woefully deceived. It knows them too well ; and
knows also the causes that make, them popular at Ox-
Ford and Cambridge. Both these Universities, espe-
!ially the former, are Tory, for no other reason than
That they find their account in holding fast by such
)rinciples. They would be Whigs to-morrow, in
compliment to the Powers that be, could they be as-
sured that Church abuses would be as leniently dealt
;vith by the Whigs as by the Tories ; but, unfortu-
iately, they see in the present conduct of Ministers,
,oundant proofs of their resolution to reform the Esta-
blishment, in a manner obnoxious to the interests of
that vast locust host of pluralists, who fatten among
