The Tablet.

The oldest of all the Catholic newspapers in this
country—founded as many as eight and twenty
years ago (namely, in 1810) by the late Frederick
Lucas, sometime M.P. for the county of Meath,
and, since his death, conducted during the list ten
years uninterruptedly by John Elward Wallis, of
the Inner Temple, barrister-at-law—having within
these last few days passed into the hands of the Very
Rev. Herbert Vaughan, D.D., on Saturday last
made its appearance in an entirely new form, as a
weekly Review as well as a weekly Newspaper. In
this new form it is admirably got up in every parti-
cular. And its merits as a publication are not merely
of a material character. Besides being printed in
excellent type, upon capital paper, and in a shape
far more suitable for binding up for preservation
and after reference, the Tablet gives every promise,
judging of it from this first number, so to speak, of a
new series, of sustaining and extending its reputa-
tion among the very ablest of its contemporaries of all
creeds and all political parties, by its comprehensive
survey of passing events, and its really admirable
editorial arrangements. One suggestion there is
which is thrown out quite incidentally by a cor-
respondent of the Tablet, the introduction of
which into this the earliest number of the old paper
in its new guise, appears to us entitled here to some
passing word of reference as reflecting credit at once
upon the old and new proprietorship. It is the pro-
posal by this correspondent, of the presentation, in
recognition of his past services, of a Testimonial
"of esteem and gratitude" to the late Editor of
the Tablet, Mr. Wallis—a suggestion that we doubt
not will be eagorly acted upon among his co-
religionists. As the authoritative and recognized
organ of the Catholics of the Unitel Kingdom, the
Tabla gives fair promise of holding its own
vigorously among those Weekly Reviews and News-
papers which are recognizably of the tir.,t rank in
English journalism.
