London John W. Parker, West Strand,

The A.von steam-vessel arrived at Woolwich this
afternoon from Devonport, and brought round Lieu-
tenant Robertson and the seamen who navigated the
Buzzard steam-sloop from Woolwich to Devonport.
The Buzzard is fitted with engines of 300 horse-
power, made by Miller, Ravenhill, and Co., from
designs by John Penn and. Son, on the oscillating
principle, and when tried at the Lower Hope to
ascertain her speed previous to leaving the river she
made an average of upwards of ten knots per hour on
five runs up and down the measured mile.
The Geyser, a fine vessel of 160-horse power, be-
longing to the Danish Government, arrived and was
moored opposite Woolwich Dockyard at one o'clock
p.m. to-day. She intended going up the river to the
East India Docks, to have new boilers put on board
by Messrs. Maudslay, ;!;ons, and Field, who fitted her
about six years ago, with their double cylinder en-
gines of the horse power above stated ; but she was
detained at Woolwich iu consequence of having her
powder on board. The powder is to be taken out here
and put into store at the Royal Arsenal for safety, and
she will then proceed to Black wall to have her new
boilers put on board in the East India Docks. The
engines are described as kept remarkably clean, and
her chief engineer speaks the English language well,
having acquired the knowledge of his profession by
upwards or three years' service at Messrs. Maudalay's
establishment in the Westminster-road, and fitting
vessels of which they had the contract at Woolich. -
The Fury steam-sloop, Captain Willcox, arrived to-
day at Portsmouth from China and the East Indies.
This vessel performed valuable service against the
pirates in the Chinese seas.

DANGERS OF CHANNEL NAVIGATION.
SOUTHAMPTON, Nov. 18.—A very important do-
cument liar just been published, compiled by Mr. J.
Young, of the Underwriters' room at Lloyd's, giving
a list of wrecks and casualties to shipping which have
been officially reported to have occurred between Dun-
geness and London during a period of 18 months,
from January 1849 to June 1850, inclusive. To
each casualty is affixed the extent of damage sus-
tained, such estimate of damage being derived from
official documents at Lloyd's, or estimated as nearly as
could be ascertained. Although the total extent is
impossible to be arrived at with anything like ,preci-
sion, from the fact that numerous vessels w;th all on
board are annually cast away upon the Goodwill and
adjacent sands, yet the result arrived at by Mr.
Young's valuable pamphlet is, that during the 18
mouths in question the amount of property destroyed
by known wrecks and casualties, is between 400,0001.
and 500,0001, besides the sacrifice of a great
number of lives. The object of the compiler of
this list is to show the enormous annual destruc-
tion of property occasioned by the dangers of
navigation between the Isle of Wight and the
Thames, and which would be avoided by home-
ward-bound ships discharging in the Southampton
docks, besides the saving that would be effected in the
rate of insurance, time occupied between the island
and London, and the extra cost of wages, provisions,
and incidental expenses. It is a remarkable fact that
low wrecks ever take place in that part of the British
Channel to the southward of the Wight, but that the
real dangers of the voyage commence after passing
the back of the island to proceed to the Thames. To
the document alluded to is subjoined an abstract of
the loss of shipping and of lite, between the Isle of
Wight and London, for the seven years from 1837 to
1843 inclusive, by which it appears that during that
period 499 vessels lost anchors and cables, were par-
tially dismasted by bad weather or being run foul of,
or sustained other damage; 560 vessels took the
ground, but were got off again; 260 vessels entirely
wrecked or foundered, of which the crews and passen-
gers were saved; 56 vessels were totally lost, with all or
several of the crews or passengers; the total number
of casualties being 1,375. Amongst the ships lost
in 1842 and 1843 were those splendid Indiamen, the
Reliance and the Conqueror, nearly every soul on
board of which, amounting to little short of 200,
Witli,Le 411 w-ran a tiled :name-the ship Burhampooter,
was, a few hours after leaving the Thames, utterly
wrecked near Margate, on which occasion the people
on board bad a hairbreadth escape with their lives,
losing all the property they had. The loss of the
Amphitrite is also too recent to be forgotten ; she
was riding at anchor in the Downs, was driven out
by vielent weather, and totally wrecked near Bou-
logne; she had on board nearly 200 female convicts,
bound to Australia, all of whom, with the whole of
the crew, were drowned, and the vessel scattered in
fragments on the shore. During the first six months
of 1850 it appears that no less than eight vessels have
been lost between London and the Wight, with all
on board ; and the number of lives so sacrificed is
estimated at little short of 500.

In the Ordered Department the newest and most superior style of
every Garment may be obtained, first-rate talent being employed in
the execution of all orders. _ _ _

CATHOLIC LAW AND GENERAL LIFE
ASSURANCE COMPANY,
8, NEW COVENTRY-STREET, LEICESTER-SQUARE, LONDON.
The FOURTEI ANNUAL GENERAL MEETING of the Proprie-
tors of this Company took place on the 25th install!, at the Head
Office, at One o'clock precisely. The following is extracted from the
report, which is too lengthy for publication :
During the past year no claims have arisen from deaths in Engler::,
and but two in Ireland—one for 5001. and the other for 2501.—making
together 7001., which have been paid. This is far below the expected
mortality, and is especially favourable, when it is remembered how
severely the life offices generally suffered from the epidemic of last
year.
The number of lives assured between the Ist of June, 1549, and
the 31st of Stay, 1850, was more than double the number issued in
the twelve months preceding.
Prop :sals were made for 138 Policies, amounting to 52,9631.25. 6d.:
of these 123, comprising 106 lives, were accepted for 45,1251. 6s.
Sixteen Policies lapsed, representing 6,0481., upon which 3201. 3s.
was received by the Company in the shape of premiums.
Since the commencement of the Company to the let of June last,
assurances were effected to the extent of 110,972/. 12s 6d., pro-
ducing in annual premiums 3,7321. 1 le. 6d. Of these 54 lapsed,
amounting to 23,990/. 16s. 6d., of which the annual premiums were
7411. Is., leaving the yearly income on the Ist of June last equal to
2,991/. 15s. 11d.
Since last meeting loans were applied for to the extent of 17,7001.,
but 1,183/. 1 ls. 10d. only was advanced.
The Directors were also highly gratified to report that within the
last four months they had considerably extended their business on
the Continent, having appointed, as Head Agent in France, Monsieur
de i'Etaug, a gentleman of high standing in Paris, distinguished for
his integrity and ability in financial and in all assurance matters,
who, under the sanction and patronage of the Archbishop of Paris,
the Cardinal Arclibish, p of Lyons, and Monseigneur Parisis, Eveque
de Langres, has already within the last three months effected a eon•
siderable amount of business, not only in Life Assurances, but in An-
nuities both Immediate and Deferred.
After various resolutions, approving of the Report, and returning
thanks to the Right Reverend Chairman, Bishop Morris, the Vice-
Chairman, Actuary, Secretary, and Medical Officers of the establish-
ment, the meeting separated, highly gratified at its present results
and future prospects.

Doctor of Medicine. Matriculated Member of the University of Edin-

This work contains an accurate and complete account of the
Anatomy and Physiology of the Reproductive Organs. It un-
fortunately happens that the unhappy rictim of excessive indul-
gence and vicious habits, while suffering ,rom their invariable con-
sequences, unwisely entertains a tear of applying to a qualified physi-
cian for relief. Shame and the dread so frequently, but erro-
neously entertained that these complaints are beyond the reach of
art, alike restrict him and prevent his seeking or assistance where
eione it can be procured. Dr. LA'MERT has taken the highest
medical honours, as his f•ilplomas testifY, and the great extent of his
practice for many years is a guarantee for his professional experi-
ence, which has reference almost solely to the treatment of these
dlseases.

ji —6l The acknowledged efficacy of BLAIR'S GOUT and RHEII-
MATIC PILLS, by the continued series of testimonials which have
been sent to and published by the proprietor for nearly twenty years,
has rendered this medicine the most popular of the present age ; and
in corroboration of which the following extract of a letter, written
by Jelin Mollard Wheeler, Esq., Collector of Customs, Jamaica, hav-
ing been handed by his brother, at Swindon, to Mr. Prout for publi-
cation, will fully confirm.
" I know you have never had occasion to take Blair's Pills, but
let me emphatically tell you, in mercyito any friend who may suffer
from gout, rheumatic gout, lumbago, sciatica, rheumatism, or any
branch of that widely-allied family, to recommend their using them.
In this country they are of wonderful efficacy : not only am I person-
ally aware of their powers, but I see my friends and acqu • intances
receiving unfailing benefit 1:rom their use I would not be without
them on any account. If taken in the early stage of disease they
dissipate it altogether ; if i n a later, they alleviate pain and effect a
much speedier cure than by any other means within my knowledge."

command on the island, Mr. Waterman, jun., with
Mr. G. Rennie, proceeded on to St. Petersburgh
overland, with a view of procuring assistance. The
journey being one of considerable difficulty much
delay must necessarily transpire ere any relief can be
rendered the wreck. Very trying weather has since
set in, and the last accounts speak of her loss. With
reference to the unfortunate circumstance of the yacht
running ashore, the fact cannot be concealed that
there appears to have been some want ofjudgment on
the part of those on board of her. It ix, however,
said that the navigation of the Baltic at this period of
the year, with a northerly wind, is attended with
much difficulty, and that no fewer than from eight to
ten vessels have been recently lost on or near the spot
where this disastrous occurrence took place.

The following letter from Mr. Waterman has been
banded to us by Mr. Mare, and, as will be seen, con-
tains some additional and interesting details respect-
ing the unfortunate event :
"St. Petersburgh Hotel, Revel, Oct. 31, 1850.
" Sir,—lt is with regret I inform you of our misfor-
tune since we left Copenhagen, which we did on the 22d
inst., at S P.M. We passed the Archimede, a Prussian
steatn.vessel that went ashore a few days ago on the
Maud of Bornholm. We had no sooner left the island
than it blew a perfect hurricane, and continued blowing
until.the morning of the 24th ; in the evening it was a
perfect calm. We were thinking of going to bed about
half-past ten o'clock, when we were startled by a terrific
rumbling noise. We immediately ran on deck, when to
our horror we found the Peterhoff half her length up a
shallow reef of rocks. She immediately began to fill
and was not long befoie the water inside her was
level with the sea. Unfortunately two ladies con-
nected with the Embassy at Copenhagen ac-
companied us with the intention of landing
at this place. We attempted to effect a landing in the
boats, but could not succeed for the rocks, so we had to
return to the Peterhof& and remained until daylight,
firing rockets every consecutive half-hour. At daylight
three boats came from the shore to our assistance. We
immediately went with a portion of our luggage ashore
to a gentleman's house, who very hospitably re-
ceived us.

vv
" We came to the conclusion that it would be impos-
sible to get the Peterhoff off without assistance, and
there being none on the island, it was decided that Mr.
Ronnie and myself should proceed by land to St. Peters-
burgh, and get the required assistance, leaving Mr. Es-
chapper in charge of the vessel. We have been travel-
ling thy and night since, acd only arrived here at
11 o'clock last night—a distance of about 150 miles—in
consequence of the bad roads and conveyance. A steam-
ve,sel leaves here for St. Petersburgh ou Sunday morn-
ing, the 2d of November. We intend going by her, as
we should gain no time by travelling overland.
"I am, &c., " T. WATERMAN."

The loss of the yacht, it is said, will exceed
20,0001., but it is understood that she is insured for a
large amount.

SPIRIT of the PUBLIC JOURNALS.

FROM THE. MORNING PAPERS OV THIS DAY.
TIME S.—The condition of the United States must
needs be thought critical in the extreme by all who
are unacquainted with the expressions given to public
opinion in that land of democratic indulgence ; and
so extraordinary, indeed, has been the character re-
cently assumed by some of these ebullitions, that it
requires more than common discernment to detect the
true current of popular convictions in the deluge of
declamation, bombast, and blarney with which the
great question of the day has been overwhelmed. The
reader will recollect the persuasions which dictated
the adoption of the Fugitive Slave Bill, in deference
to the prejudices, if not the interests, of the Southern
States of the Union, and he will have observed in
these columns, from time to time, with what outrage-
ous clamour this measure has been received. So
great, however, is now the sensation, either real or
protracted, that the rallying cries of the contending
parties are; without disguise, " Union" and " Dis•
union"—the very constitution of the States being
threatened with deliberate destruction in a contest for
ascendancy on a point of domestic policy. The issue
raised, in fact, has been exactly that tried by the
French Republicans. A question has been decided
by law, and the conduct of every citizen, under cer-
conditions, has been prescribed by that authority
to which universal obedience is nominally due.
The French malcontents exalted their private con-
victions above the law by what they termed pa-
ratnount and inherent rights of free citizenship,
and they effected a revolution of which the result was
to place the majority of the nation in that very predi-
cament which the minority had resented as intoler-
able. The Americans have now arrived, if we may
trust their own language, at a similar crisis. A large
.sae. .-snr..,7ltinn professes to consider the
ble right antecedent to recorded law, and tney aic
acting just like the insurgents of February, with
merely the variation of action suggested by the dif-
ference of the two Constitutions. The Americans
have no King to terrify, and no Tuileries to storm,
and though it seems not impossible they may have a
Bugeaud or Changarnier to encounter, they are at
present confining their agitation to the spacious chan-
nels provided by the constitution. Here, however,
they boldly avow resolutions drawn from the cardi-
nal doctrines of M. Louis Blanc and his school; they
declare their intention of resisting law by force, or
propose, as the single alternative, the dissolution of
the Union into so many independent States as differ-
ence of opinion may require. It is stated, and we
believe with substantial truth, that the law cannot be
executed in any city of all the North, excepting New
York ; and the inhabitants, therefore, of this capital
seaport have just assembled at a monster meet-
ing to signalize and record their conspicuous
allegiance to the established powers. If we
could give literal credence to all that is
reported of the extraordinary proceedings, we might
perhaps acknowledge that pacific and voluntary dis•
union would really be the best expedient in a contest
of opinions so violent as this has been represented ;
but, in point of fact, what with the national turn for
by perbole, the contingencies of democratic excitement,
and the peculiar gifts of Transatlantic journalism, so
extravagant and grotesque is the exaggeration em-
ployed that the sober English reader lays down the
paper without any more definite conviction than that
his American brethren are certainly the oddest people
alive. The "tremendous and enthusiastic convention,".
as it is termed, partook promiscuously of the character
of an Eistedfodd, a vestry meeting, an election com-
mittee, an open air concert, and a settling day at Tat-
tersall's. Resolutions importing truths as deep as
aoy illustrated by Bacon or Montesquieu were pro-
pounded in language resembling that of the notifica-
tions headed " Canine," in a popular weekly contem-
porary ; " Old hickory" was matched along with
" Harry Clay," for any stakes that might be forth-
coming; and the sentiments of patriotism were
conveyed in metaphors so discordant and
poetry so atrocious that even a well mean-
ing citizen might be driven into the ranks of insur-
rection by the instincts of good taste and grammar.
Nothing but the phraseology of a new Romish
" pastoral" can give the repder an idea of the terms
in which the American eagle, his talons, his beak, his
pinions, his flight, and his destiny were apostrophized
by these priests of the Oratory of " St. Tammany ;"
for, as tde meeting was already of one accord, there
remained no duty beyond that of declamation and
protest. The upshot of the business was the ap-
pointment of a committee for the preservation of
America, fifty citizena being nominated, with power
to add to their numbers, on whose shoulders
the national salvation of the United States was to de-
volve. By what means this council is to promote its
objects we cannot pretend to determine ; but, if we
may venture upon an opinion in the face of so many
bewildering allegations, we should be inclined to con-
clude that the danger is not so imminent, nor the
conflict so real, as appearances might be thought to
betoken. It is true that one Governor of a state has
virtually proclaimed rebellion, and another has set
aside the annual thanksgiving-day for the inde-
pendence of the union, while the officers of justice
are everywhere threatened with violence in the
execution of their duties. For all this, however,
we do not think the disruption of the Union at
hand, nor do we contemplate with any great appreeh-
hension the alleged probabilities of an event win
no civilized Power could witness with indifference.
There can be no doubt that the anti-slavery feeling

so intelligent a people that the true question now
at issue concerns no longer the institutions of
slavery, but the authority of the law, and, with
this authority, the maintenance of a regular Go-
vernment. It is the same question which two
years ago was decided, in different ways, at Paris
on the 24th of February, and in England on the 10th
of April. It is a question whether a section of the
people, dissatisfied with the conclusions of the rest,

cannot apprehend that the result would be otherwise
thar, generally favourable to the cause of order. The
" Unionists" will have popularity as well as right on
their side ; all the mottoes, watchwords, and
traditions of the States, all the savings of
patriots, and all the maxims of the constitu-
tion being for them only. Besides this, the
principle of unity is essentially the democratic
one ; and it would he almost a contradiction of terms
to advocate Republicanism and divisibility in the name
breath. The " Disunioniets" have no definite scheme
to propound, and. even those who now gesticulate and
mouth in behalf of local independence would shrink
from the reality of carving up a State fabric which
every adult American has been for years upholding as
the unapproachable masterpiece of human wisdom.
For these reasons we anticipate no such perils as those
which alarmed " the Empire City in Council ;" but
prudence, we think, will suggest to the Supreme Go-
vernment of the States some timely modification of a
measure fatally calculated to create disaffection and
riot. It is less in the principle than in the execution
that the Fugitive Slave Bill is so unpopular, for its
operation is precisiely of that kind which brings home
to men by individual examples under their own eyes
facts which, theo.eetically considered, would produce
little or no effect. These examples, too, are constantly
recurring, and we cannot be surprised if acts which
outrage common sensibility should cause reaction and
revolt, though performed in the name of justice.
HERALD.— Mr. George Bowyer has very
promptly produced his pamphlet " by authority" in
defence of " the Cardinal Archbishop of Westminster
and the New Hieararchy." It is written in the most
plausible tone of candour and humility. But the
fallacy on which it wholly rests is thus set forth :
"To say that the Roman Catholic Church is not it -
legal in her Maj esty's dominions, and yet that a fun-
damental necessary doctrine of that Church is illegal,
would be a gross and monstrous contradiction. If we
are not allowed by law to hold a doctrine, without
which we should cense to be Roman Catholics, it ob-
viously and inevitably follows that the law does not
permit us to be Roman Catholics at all. Which is
absurd. Persecute us, drive us out of the realm alto-
gether, and into perpetual banishment, but do not
hold out to us the delusive phantom of an apparent
toleration, and then deny us the liberty to held
that doctrine on which the very existence of our
Church, as the Catholic Church, built upon the
rock of Peter, and bound to his successor the
supreme bead and centre of unity on earth, most
undeniably depends." In consenting, then, to lift the
ban from off the heads of the Romanists, and to raise
them to an equality with ourselves, we hare admitted,
according to Mr. Bowyer, that they bold no anti-
, social or dangerous doctrine. We have placed our-
selves in a posion which renders it impossible tor
lus to deny hereafter the salubrity of their system.
So says their apologist, and, if he speaks truly, then
are we in a strange position. For see what his posi-
tion leads us to :—The " fundamental doctrines" of
the Church of Rome—which doctrine, says Mr.
Bowyer, we are not now at liberty to impugn by sta-
tute, are such as these :
The Bull In Unanz Sanctam states

" swords; are, therefore, in the power of the
Church, viz., the spiritual sword and the material sword.
But the one is to be. exercised fur the Church, the other
by the Church, that is, the property of the priest in the
hands of kings and soldiers, but at the nod and sufference
of the priest.'
" Moreover, we declare, affirm, define, and pronounce,
that it is altogether a matter of necessity of salvation
for every human creature to be subject to the Roman
Pontiff.'

" Delahogue in his treatise on the Church,—a class-
book at Meynooth:—
" The Church retains her jurisdiction over all apos-
tates, heretics, and schismatics, although they do not
now belong to her body, as the commander of en army
has the right of decreeing more severe punishments
against the deserter who has left his ranks.'
" Devoti, on /he Canon Laws, sec. 1, vol. iv.:—
" All who clitsent from Catholic truth are not to be
tolerated among ,Catholics.'
"' Among our Catholics it is certain and fixed that
unaluint to be
.who are aliens from the
length by Saurez, Bellarmine, liottensis, 1.3 e
meh us.'
" Devoti quotes Thomas Aquinas (called the Angeli-
cal Doctor). Sec unda Sectinthe. Quest. ii., art. 3:—
" Whether heretics are to be tolerated ? About
heretics two things are to be considered. One, indeed,
on the part of themselves; another on the part of the
Church. On their part is their sin, by which they have
deserved not only to be separated from the Church by
excommunication, but even to be put from the world by
death. Wherefore if forgers of money or other male-
factors are immediately and justly put to death by se-
cular princes, much more heretics, as soon as they are
convicted of he"esy, can not only be immediately excom-
municated, but also be justly slain. If he is still found
obstinate, and the Church, no longer hoping for his con-
version, provides for the safety of others, by separating
him from the Church by sentence of excommunication,
and farther leaves him to the secular tribunal to be ex-
terminated from the world by death.'
" These pssages are quoted in Dens' Theology' as
authority for putting heretics to death.

last Sunday eek, and the Dumfries Courier gives
the following account of his sermon :
" The lecturer began by stating that 300 years ego
this had been a Catholic country, in which the established
religions forms had been the same as they had that day
witnessed. Then, for the sins cf some, and the trial of
others, what was called the Reformation had come; the
property of the Church was seized by the Crown, and
gifted to its nobility; end the stake, the gibbet, and
exile, became the portion of its faithful adhe-
rents. Notwithstanding all this, the Catholics had
continued to increase, until from thousands they were
numbered by millions. Referring to the new hie-
rarchical arrangement, he ailuded to the letter of
the Premier to the Bishop of Durham, and to the
phrase in it, ' our Reformation,' contrasting at con-
siderable length the contrarieties and contradictions of
Protestant doctrine with the uniformity which in all
ages and countries distinguished the Catholic faith. In
referring to the doctrines of the English Church as to
baptism, the rev. lecturer made pointed allusion to the
manner in which, from dissension on that topic, so many
of the Anglican clergy were dropping off into the bosom
of the Church. Reverting to the suspected in'entions of
the Government in opposition to the Papal bull, he
broadly pointed to the interference of the Catholic
powers of the Continent, should Government attempt
opposition to the rights of his Church—a most ill-ad-
vised expression, and one that has excited strong feelings
of disapprobation; and closed a discourse of upwards of
an hour's duration vri:h a glowing peroration, in which,
looking forward to the time when the British empire
would ba numbered with the things that were, and its
sceptre in the dust, he declared that glorious Rome'
would still maintain her pre-eminence among the
nations."
Truly. he must be wilfully blind who can close his
eyes to the fact that the two powers, the Papacy and
the British Sovereignty in its present Protestant
hands, must necessarily be rival and hostile powers.
And hence it follows, that to give this natural enemy
a legal footing—a recognised church establishment in
these realms.—would be little less than an act of
suicide. In truth, the whole question is resolved, in
the clearest and fairest manner, in the closing ben-
knees of Mr. Binney's late address, which we gave
about a fortnight back. And let it always be re-
membered that Mr. Binney, a Protestant Dissenter,
is a " Liberal" of the first water. To everything in-
trinsically bigotted or intolerant he is constitutionally,
and from long habit, opposed. Yet he thus wrote—
" It may be easy to argue against national establish-
ments and the royal supremacy ; the demonstration
may be complete of the impropriety of secular legis-
lation in religion, and in favour of unrestricted reli-
gious liberty ; that the law should know no man in his
religious character ; and that all religious bodies should
be treated by the state equally and alike,
and every Church have a clear stage and
no favour. So far as Popery is concerned,
I am beginning to be suspicious of carrying this
theory practically out ; not, indeed, because the theory
is itself erroneous, but because Popery is not a thing
to which it can be applied. Popery is not simply and
purely a religion ; it is a great and mighty ecclesias-
tical confederacy that aims at and desires political
pre-eminence ; it is a terrible compact, almost phy-
sical unity, animated by a spirit of intense hatred to
real liberty, civil or religious. It requires to be
held in check by law, not because its tenets are
not true, but ,because its heart is nut to be
trusted ; not because its creed is a corruption of the
faith, but because its tendencies are inimical to free-
dom ; not because it ignores' this or that Church,
but because it is a power dangerous to the State. It
will join the Dissenter in his theoretical reasoning when
it is low; will applaud him for liberality in striving
to gain tbr its own emancipation' when it wishes to
rise ; will shout at times for religious liberty ', and
the ' voluntary ',principle ;' will smile and bow, and
take everything; it can, and look humble mo-
dest, and demure, as long as is necessary to gain its
ends ; but when once gained, and any opportunity for
a spring forward or upward opens, it ss ill take either
with both force and ferocity, and care not if it crush in
its headlong career the simple souls that served it in
its need!"
DAILY NEWS.—Never has been a greater storm
in the moral and religious atmosphere. Never was seen
such a mass of fiery and frowning clouds, dark with
popular indignation, sending forth the vehement
thunder of passion and the brilliant coruscation of
awakened and angry intellect. The entire sentiment
of the nation has been forced into one mass, and all
classes have descended to the same forum to complain,
to lament, to vent indignation, and demand vengeance.
From the humble vestry to the lordly Cabinet, wher-
ever men congregate, they have been moved to take
these greater matters into consideration, the threat of
Rome to re-establish its domination over us, the
trickery of weak and foolish men, who have awakened
such hopes, and rendered possible such attempts.
Men who stand in the first rank of authority and
influence contemplate these great popular commotions
with different impressions. Some have said, this is
too strong for us not to be of it, let us join and head
it. Others in the very heat of going along with it
have asked themselves, whither does it lead ? Does it
not partake cf the religious intolerance, if not of the
same, at least of an analogous kind to that which it
resists ? Whilst some would make it an onslaught
upon Rome, others would enlarge it into a crusade
against all bishops. The Times, evidently seeking
174,764 graigatttim kpirr.doinestic criminals, pro.
stitutionalists in their opposition to him, which
very constitutionalists the said Times so lately
delighted and contributed in putting down. Others,
on the contrary, consider that vengeance as
well as charity should begin at home, and
their proposed line of conduct would be to tie
Wiseman and Pbillpotts to the same stake, and
burn them as victims to the liberty of religious opi-
nion. We are not afraid of the actual perpetration of
any of theselextreme and angry acts. On the contrary,
what we fear most is, that the zeal of the public will
be so misled towards unattainable objects, and frittered
away upon merely vindictive and useless ones, that
the entire force of the reaction will bs lost ; that, in
consequence no one abuse will be removed, and not
only Popery left triumphant,:but its great workshops
left in fill activity of creation and of propagandism.
The first effort of those interested for religious free-
dom and religious intellect should be to turn the pre-
sent movemeet to some great aim, some tangible ob-
ject. Without movements of this kind, without wise
men taking advantage of them, nothing is ever done
under our form of government, in which Ministers
wait on the public even more than upon Provi-
dence. It is much to be feared that the
present efforts of indignanti Protestantism are
directed more against form than reality, more
against the shield than against the body of its antago-
nists. Thus a crusade against Wiseman 's title, against
his wearing a red hat, or parti-coloured stockings, of
what avail is it ? Is this an object worthy of the zeal
of a great nation If Cardinal Wiseman, by his ma-
noeuvres at Rome, and his arrogant assumption here,
have got himself into the meshes of a statute—if his
display of the barbarous latinity of Rome has brought
him, like a fly into a spider's web, to be entangled in
the equally barbarous latinity of our feudal lawyers,
let the Roman priest and the English jurist fight out
their ancient feud, since the former has thought proper
to renew it. If the Archbishop gets himself installed
by virtue of a papal bull, and has treasonable docu-
ments read during the ceremony, he falls, it is al-
leged, under the penalties of a prcemunire, which
are very serious if the popular feeling be in-
clined to enforce them. If the Cardinal, though an
Andalusian and alien, has come to exercise legatine
or other authority in this country, the mere fact of
his birth will no doubt:enable the Government to eject
him. But this personal quarrel, in dealing with
Wiseman, is in our opinion a very minor matter. For
every casuistical or legal argument we use, the Pope,
we may depend upon it, will find another. To find
such argument is his Holiness's trade, and, thank
Heaven, it is not ours. Then for every personal
blow we strike, Rome will parry one and deal an-
other. And this bout of polemical single-stick may
go on for a very long time, during which the Pope
will not be the first tired out. If we can reject a
learned Wiseman for an archbishop, because he is an
alien, Pius IX. may translate the anti-Copernican
Cullen to Westminster, and inflict the greatest plague
of Egypt on this country, by the introduction to it of
a whole host of episcopal M'Hales. By personal vin-
dictiveness directed against the Pope's agents we shall
in fact do little. All the triumph we could achieve
would be after all of no very profitable result ; nor
shall we mend the matter by directing vengeance
against the leader of the semi-Romanist or Tractarian
movement. Can we depose bishops for having fa-
voured this ceremony, or dabbled with that doctrine ?
Or is it possible or worth while for the sake of the
deprivation of even a majority of the bishops to make
a holocaust of the whole number ? The culpable have,
in fact, bowed their heads before the storm, and the
seeking to inflict more on them than their present
humiliation would fail. Even were success in bah
instances possible, it would be far from wise to make
martyrs of either Romanist or Tractarian, for either
of them would thereby acquire an interest and a cha-
racter which both for the present want. It is indeed
incumbent on all to maintain the Queen's supre-
macy, to uphold the sovereign power of her who
concentrates the lay and spiritual authority of the
state. For without this the great lay community
can never be safe against the caprices of ouLretotwhne
clergy, or the hostility of a rival hierarchy.

that are unwillingto convert themselves, but persevering
obstinately in their heresy, are to i.e put to death, whe-
ther they be laity or clergy.'
"' Let those condemned by the Church be left to the
secular power to be punished with deserved penalty, the
clergy being first degraded from their orders. (He
quotes the canon law and ordinance of Charles V.,
1540, by which) Impenitent heretics are to be burned,
but penitent heretics to be slain by the sword. To N%hich

which it

examples.'

"' If you thretaten them with pecuniary fine they
neither fear God nor regard man, knowing that there
will not be wanting fools who believe them, and by
whom they will be maintained if you put them in prison
or banish them, they corrupt their neighbours with

therefore, the only remedy is to send them speedily to
their own place.'

canon in the law proclaimed at the coronation of Fre-

his decretals. It has continued the law of the Ilomish
Church since.
' We excommunicate and anathematize every heresy
which exalteth itself against this holy orthodox and
Catholic faith which we have set forth above, condemn-
ing all heretics by whatsoever names they may be recog-
nised, who have indeed cl;verse faces, but their tails are
bound together, for they snake agreement in the same
folly.'
"' If any temporal lord being required and ad-
monished by the Church, shall neglect to cleanse his
country of this heretical filth, let him be bound with the
chain of excommunication by the metropolitan and
other co-provincial bishops. And if he shall scorn to
make satisfaction within a year, let this be signified to
the supreme Pontiff, that henceforth he may declare his
vassals to be absolved from their fidelity to him, and ex-
pose his land to be occupied by Catholics, who having
exterminated the heretics, may without contradiction
possess it.
But let the Catholics, who having taken the sign of
the cross, have girded themselves for the extermination
of heretics, enjoy the same indulgence and be armed with
the same privilege as is conceded to those who go to the
assistance of the Holy Land.'
" Such are the laws and canons of Rome. She boasts
that she is semper eadem. They form the standard and
rules of Maynooth this day."
We are aware that the common exclamation of
adroit Roman casuists, when we quote these canons,
is—" Oh! those musty old canons,—what is the use
of disinterring them at this time of day ?" But we
showed, only a day or two since, that the very same
doctrines are taught, even to children, in books writ-
ten and published by Roman Catholics in this year of
our Lord 1850. Mr. Bowyer, of course, takes shelter
under the usual subterfuge, " Supremacy only i . n spi-
ritual things." But he who rules in spiritual things
must overrule him or her who rules only in "tem-
poral things." Hence we find that—
" At a dinner given last week by the Iteman Catholic
inhabitants of Enniskillen to Dr. MacNally, ` Lord
Bishop of Cloghcr,' where fifty of the leading ' Catholics'
of the locality assembled, the chairmen, 'a Mr. James
Creden, a merchant, proposed, we are informed, his first
toast in the following terms:—
"' Gentlemen,—The first toast on my list is one that
will frighten my extra-loyal neighbours; but the spiri-
tual allegiance we owe is greater than any other alle-
giance. I therefore, without any further comment, pro-
pose to you our ` Most Holy Father the Pope;' and in
all sincerity I pray that his reign may be long and glo-
rious: "
Another specimen of the same kind comes to us
from Scotland. Dr. Gillis, who is to be the new
" Archbishop of Edinburgh," preached at Dumfries
