Archbishop Manning preached at the opening of
a new Roman Catholic Church at Richmond, in
Yorkshire, on Tuesday. The new church has
been erected from the designs of Mr. George Gol-
die, p.ta, cost of about £3,000, inclusive of fittings,
and will seat about 500 persons. It is dedicated
to SS. Joseph and Francis Xavier. The opening
service was attended by a large congregation.
Pontifical High Mass was celebrated by the Right
Rev. Robert Cornthwaite, D.D., Bishop of
Beverley, who was assisted by a numerous body of
the clergy, amongst whum were the Rev. A. Weld
(provincial of the Jesuits), the Rev. Dr. Whitley,
Rev. Canon Browne (Leeds), Rev. Canon
Thompson (York), Rev. Wm. Strickland (Rich-
mond),
,Rev. J. Milner (Richmond), &c. In his
speech at the luncheon wliich followed, the
Archbishop spoke of the fact that the
Pope, in his bull convoking the (Ecumenical
Council, had declared himself in favour of the
separation of Church and State: Ile (the Arch-
bishop) confessed that the separation of Church
and State, which caused so. much alarm to his
friends of the Church in England, had no man-
ner of fear for him, for it appeared to him that
for Church and State to be united they must be
in the relation of superior and inferior, and that
when he heard of an Established Church he heard
of a world turned upside down. What the Holy
Father had done, had been no more than to de-
clare the true Catholic doctrine that spiritual order
rests upon the Church of God, and that all civil
power depends upon that Church for all order
and support. He would not have spoken thus on
that occasion, only he really wished, if possible, to
console some of their friends who were in great
trouble at the notion of the disestablishment of
their religion. He felt profoundly convinced that
if it had any lifsiin it their religion could stand
alone. He quitglidmitted that it was a great test
of faith to go down and walk upon the water,
but the Holy Father was the last of a long line
of Pontiffs, numbering 258, who had walked upon
the water for 1,800 years and more, and he did
not know why those who confided in their religion
should be afraid to try the same experiment.

Cardinal Barili, late Nuncio. at Madrid, says a
contemporary not particularly noted for the accu-
racy of its Roman intelligence, arrived in Rome
on Friday, having come from the Spanish capital
by way of France, He was received by the Pope
next day, and gave his Holiness a deplorable pic-
ture of the state of Spain, which he represents to
be on the brink not only of revolution, but of a
change of dynasty—at any rate, to the extent of
a dethronement of Isabel 11. Tbis news greatly
disturbed the Holy Father, who is much interested
on the Queen's account. We are in hourly expec-
tation of the arrival of Cardinal Ferrieri, late
Nuncio at Lisbon, when he and Cardinal Barili
will receive from the Pope in public consistory the
investiture of the red hat, to which they were
recently promoted. There will be anot'ner crea-
tion of cardinals in September. The purple will
then be conferred on Monsignor Ferrari, Minister
of Finance, and Count de Sartiges is said to speak
hopefully of the prospects of the Archbishop of
Paris, though they are not thought well of in
