ATTENDANCE DAILY.

ARCHBISHOP MANN/NG AND S 7. THOMAS
A BECKE7I.

A very crowded and enthusiastic meeting was
held at the Beaumont Institute, Beaumont-square,
Mile End, last night, to promote the object which
Mgr. Talbot, the Pope's Chamberlain, had in view
in coming to England— viz., the rebuilding of the
Church of St. Thomas of Canterbury, in Rome.
Archbishop Manning occupied the chair, and was
supported on either side by Mgr. Talbot and Mgr.
Stonor. There were present a'so on the platform,
Mgr. Patterson, the Revs. Dr. Gilbert, W. Kelly,
B. Pyche, and Dr. For, and Scannell, Esq.
Dr. MANNING, whose appearance on the platform
was greeted by the audience with hearty applause,
commenced the proceedings by noticing the interest
which was taken in this matter relating to an Eng-
lish saint and martyr by the Holy Father, two of
whose personal officers, in Monsignor Talbot and
another rev. father, were present. He then pro-
ceeded to remind his audience, as most of them
were, doubtless, aware, that the present appeaLwas
being made to rebuild the Church of St. Thomas of
Canterbury at Rome—to rebuild an old church, not
to found and erect a new one. He made this re-
minder in order to turn an objection which had
been made by some who did not understand the
nature of the appeal. The church which was
founded in Rome to the memory of St. Thomas of
Canterbury dated back for more than a thousand
years, and was an historical monument which the
Saxon and the English race in real piety, out of love
for their past history, and for principles which they
loved, should restore. (Cheers.) Other nations had
their churches in Rome, and the rebuilding of this
church of the English College would appeal to the
heart and sympathy with strong and persuasive power
of every Catholic, when it was known that the Holy
Father had been moved to inaugurate the work by
vouchsafing to lay the first stone. (Cheers.) And
the memory of St. Thomas of Canterbury had
claims upon the veneration and the gratitude and
the devotion of every Catholic throughout the
world, not that he was a Saxon saint and English
martyr, but because he was a saint of the Catholic
Church and martyr for the Church universal.
(Cheers.) An ancient chronicler who lived near to
the time of St. Thomas's martyrdom had left on re-
cord his sense of the martyr's acts, for he had said
that there never lived a martyr whose martyrdom
might so strictly be said to be on behalf of the
whole Church on earth, and whose veneration was
so justly diffused through the Catholic community.
(Hear.) He (Dr. Manning) had alluded to it else-
where, and he would again say that if our country-
men would only carefully study the history of St.
Thomas of Canterbury, read it, not in those in-
verted pages of history which give history wrongly,
but read it rightly, he was confident that in addi-
tion to having on his side every Catholic of Ireland,
he would bring every candid man in England and
Scotland to see that the principles for which
Becket died were virtually the principles for which
they believed themselves to contend. (Cheers.)
Having said this before, he had been, he would not
say uncourteously, but he would say somewhat
tartly, criticized upon what he did say and upon
what he did not nay; and therefore he owed it to
the truth, to the memory of St. Thomas, and to the
cause for which the martyr died, to state truly what
was said, and what he held. It seemed to him (Dr.
Manning) that St. Thomas, as a martyr and as a
man, was one who ought to command the respect
and sympathy of all sincere Christians. He had
said that he believed that the whole of Catholic
Ireland venerated and sympathized with St.
Thomas's name. (Cheers.) Every Catholic in
Ireland when the Feast of St. Thomas came
knew that the martyr laid down his life for
those very same principles of spiritual liberty for
which their forefathers laid down theirs, and if
any thing were wanting to commend to the Irisl,
people the name of St. Thomas he felt confident
one fact would be amply sufficient, and that one
fact he would give. There was a man whom they
honoured and loved—a man to wh3m, if to any on(
man more than another, they owed their civil and
religious liberty, and this man had a profound,
heartfelt, and sustained veneration for the name of

St. Thomas of Canterbury—that was Daniel O'Cou-
nel►. (Loud clwers.) The fact of O'Connelt's vene-
ration for St. Thomas was seen in the pilgrimage
he made to the place of his martyrdom, and in the
devotion of his life to the principles which St.
Thomas had maintained. (Cheers.) Without
entering into the legal details and historical ques-
tions involved in the points of difference between
Henry and St. Thomas, he would pass on to
mention that one maintained by a Becket was
the exclusion of any royal or civil authority in
the election of the Bishops of the Church, and
there were some present who were old enough to re-
member that one of the points to which Daniel
O'Connell stood firm was the refusal of any civil
advantage which could be obtained at the cost of
what was called. the " veto." (Cheers.) It was
easily recognized that the cause of. that most un-
happy time iu which O'Connell contended was the
carse of St. Thomas of Canterbury, and men saw
that they owed reparation to St. Thomas for the
sacrilegious indignity which had been done to his
glorious memory. Other indignities hal been
done to him, as the tearing down of his shrine
and the scattering of his dust. The cist which con-
tained his remains would be empty to all time,
but the only shrine which recorded his name and
his martyrdom in the centre of the Catholic
community, where it had been early honoured
by the highest in the Church, could be restored.
The'highest honours which the Church could be-
stow upon the shrine in Rome had been bestowed
_upon— it.. ~The . Cardinals held their solemn
Feast of St. Thomas in the old church, but since its
destruction the solemn festival had been held
in the small church of the English College, so that
it was still held in connection with the memory of
this country, and this country owed it to the me-
mory of St. Thomas to restore the church at Rome
to the condition it was in before it was destroyed
through the ;violence which spread by the French
Revolution. And in doing this great benefit would
be done to those who carried it out, and to their
countrymen, for he was bold enough and " auda-
cious enough" to think that the day was coming
when English history would be purified of its
perversions. A great writer had truly said
that history had Leen in conspiracy against
the Catholic Church, an I it had. (Hear, hear.) It
had been his lot and his misfortune to wade through
those perverted histori. s, and the perversions they
contained had been. filtered even through our law
and civil records. Ile had searched many, . and he
hardly every found-the name of St. Thomas men-
tioned without epithets, wit Lout a perversion of

the facts of the case. And he would ask all
candid countrymen cf his to study this case,
because the question betwJen Henry and h Becket
involved all the questions of civil anti religious
liberty for which they contended. In speaking, as
he did before he thought he was only giving an itn-
pulse to a work which he had much at heart, and
he never looked for ro much attention being given
to the subject as had been given to it from his re-

marks, for no less than 15 leading articles had ap-
peared criticising what he bad said. (A. laugh.)
He had all at once found himself the object on
which many rays of light were directed, and many
of the observations were, as he had said, directed to
what he bad not said. In the first place, he would
beg to acknowledge the generally kindly, courteous,
manly manner in which his critics had met what he
had said. The Tinzes' critic, for instance, in a very
kindly and courteous manner, ha I spoken as to the
statement that S. Thomas died for the law of Eng-
land. In justification of that statement it must be
sail that the law of England then was that the Church
should possess its liberty—that the Church should
possess its endowments free from all interference of
the Royal or civil authority. Such was the uncle-

niab'e law of England at the time of it, Becket.
Since the Royal Commissions had absorbed all the
property of the Church, it was hard for Englishmen
to suppose that the Church did have its own pro-
perty ; but in that day it was a corporation which
did possess its lands, its churches, and everything
which could be called its property, down to the
latchet of, a shoe, and this property was held by a
right which was recognised as divine. Such was

the law of the land. Again, it was the law of the
land that the election to all bishoprics should be by
the perfect free choice of those in the Church who
had the righ', irrrespeciive of the Royal or civil
authority. It was also the law of the land that any
one might appeal in ecclesiastical causes to the
head of the Church. It was also the law of the
land that the Church might excommunicate all
whom she thought might be unworthy of her com-
munion. It was also part of the law of the land

—and this spread throughout all Europe, and was
part of the law of the laud to this day as far as
some of the community were concerned—that the
clergy should be judged by their superiors and by
their peers. These were the five liberties of the
Church, and they were all violated by llenry, and
they were all defended by St. Thomas. The critic
of the Times denied that these were the laws of the
land ; but he maintained they were, and be re-
ferred to the various writers on ecclesiastical law
in support of his statement. The Councils of th

Church, which, from the seventh century down-
wards, were of a Parliamentary character, recog-
nised the laws of the universal Church, did incor-
porate them in the laws of England, and among
them were the five laws he had mentioned. Then
there was another critic who had spoken slightingly
of the courteous article in the Times and of him-
self, and this keen critic, in speaking of the remark
that the liberty of the Church was given in Magna
Charta, had reminded the world that Magna
Charta was given a long time after St. Thomas
4'Becket's martyrdom. But what he (Dr. Man-
ning) had said was that the ease of St. Thomas
had been incorporated in the Magna Charta,
and it was in the words, " The Church shall en-
joy her liberty and her judgments." But, be-
sides, Henry never attempted to deny that the laws
to which St. Thomas held were the laws of England,
and the claim made was as to the " custom of the
Crown"—customs in violation of the law, customs

superseding law, and customs rendering law of no
avail. There were the abuses of Kingly power, the
tyrannous abuses introduced by the Norman Kings,

personal abuses against which the people could not

stand. The speaker then proceeded to touch upon
the objections of another critic, who held that the

right rev. prelate had contended that St. Thomas
died for the principles of the English Dissenters.
On this point he said St. Thomas and the English
Dissenters were agreed that they would resist the

introduction of the civil power and control in re-
ligious matters ; but he never held that St. Thomas
died for the right of private judgment. (A laugh.)
Both the Dissenters and Catholics were agreed

upon the point that the Church would be free

from State control, and if that room were filled
with English Dissenters instead of, as it was, with

stanch Catholics, they would to a man hold up
their hands for the principle that Christ's Church
was a Divine power on which no Prince, no
Parliament could lay a hand. (hear.) He then pro-
..

seeded to speak of what he called the " running
sore" seen in the Church in England at the present
day, and which, he said, was turning the people of
England sick. lie asked how it wa3 that a people
who were once Catholic, anl who were so attache]

to religion that they took up arms to defend it,
should fall into such confusion as to be divided and

subdivided a 3 at the present day, and he answered

by saying that this was the inheritance brought
tbout by the violation of the laws of the Church,
tncl the usurpation in matters of religion by the

power. Ile did not believe the England of
this day would be torn asunder as she was if the

civil power of the Tudors' tine hat not been em-

ployed in forcing religion upon the consciences of

the people. Ile looked upon English nonconformity
Ls the recoil of a maddened and stung people against
the Church, thrust upon their consciences by the
