of its goods, and that drives out into the'
street without shelter or bread the priest, the
religious, the Sisters of Charity with their sick,
and the orphans—and for the sole reason that
it requires money, and takes it from the weak-
est ? What would they say of a Government
that, after seizing all this wealth, managed
in a few years to become bankrupt to the
extent of three milliards, to ruin commerce
and agriculture, and cause a famine in a
country where real poverty was hitherto un-
known ? What would they say of a Govern-
ment that during a continued peace shot
down its citizens by thousands, crammed
its prisons, and burnt and sacked its villages ?
I tell these things to those who desire to see
the Holy Father compromise with Victor
Emmanuel. Yes, tell these and still more
horrible facts, and you will be within the
truth. But my letter grows long, and I must
cease, more especially as I know my Franco-
Italian must be annoying to you who speak
and write Italian and French at will. Pray
give us news of yourself, and tell us that you
have met with a complete success, such as the
Holy Father wished you in the brief addressed
to you.
I shall not forget you in the holy sacrifice
of the Mass. Believe me, dear General, yours,
(Signed.) P. JEAN JOSEPH FRANCO.
There is little doubt but that the most luke-
warm will be moved to enthusiasm for the
defence of the Holy Father at the recital of
the facts contained in Father Franco's letter,
which gives to us who are acquainted with the
country no highly-coloured picture of its mise-
ries and the evil spirits fostered by its Go-
vernment. That men will flock to fight under
the Papal flag is certain, the only difficulty
to be encountered will be in raising the neces-
sary funds ; but even in this, with the voices
of the bishops in his favour, but little trouble
will be experienced. The sum to be raised for
the first year is £150,000, and for each of the
succeeding years £40,000 or £50,000. This,
distributed over the whole area of the Catholic
population of the United States, will scarce
be felt, and cannot in the least degree hinder
the progress of any other good work, and yet
of how much value and importance will it
prove to the Holy Father in the event of
another attack upon his liberty and the Church
which he governs, and which even his Holi-
ness himself, not fears, but expects at no very
distant period ?

OPENING OF A NEIV CATHOLIC arrui?ca,

The new Church of All Saints, at Barton-on-
Irwell, was solemnly opened on Thursday by
his Grace the Archbishop of Westminster,
assisted by the Right Rev. the Lord Bishop
Salford, the Very Rev. Provost Croskell,
Canons Benoit and Boardigan, and other
clergy of the diocese. A large number of the
Catholic residents in Barton, Eccles, and the
vicinity were present at the ceremony. His
Lordship the Bishop of Salford officiated at
the altar ; and a most eloquent sermon was
preached by Dr. Manning, from St. Paul's
Second Epistle to the Corinthians, chap. iii.

verse 18. The music selected for the occasion
was Beethoven's Mass in C, Mr. Waddington
presiding at the organ, supported by a numer-
ous choir.

The church, which, together with the pros
bytery, sacristies, and afamily chauntry, has
been erected at the sole cost of Sir Humphrey
De Trafford, Bart., of Trafford Park, near
Manchester, is probably unexampled in the
district for architectural completeness and
general magnificence. The total internal length
is 140 feet, and the extreme width 34 feet—
the nave and chancel being 20 feet wide, and
the aisles, being little more than cloisters,
serving admirably for processional purposes.
The length of the chancel is 50 feet, and there
is accommodation provided in the nave for
about 550 persons. The effect of the interior
is peculiarly successful, and the view from the
west end, looking eastward, is beautiful in
the extreme. The nave and aisle arches, to-
gether with the columns that support them,
are formed with Runcorn red and Painswick
white stone alternately, with moulded bases
and exquisitely carved capitals. From the
latter spring rectangular arches, which termi-
nate on responds against the aisle 'walls, and
support the purlins of open timber roofs. The
walls of the aisles are also recessed and arcaded
with a series of arches, one over each window.
The roof of the nave is composed of English
oak and Savannah pitch pine, elaborately stop-
chamfered and moulded, inlaid in parts with
different coloured woods, and additionally en-
riched with gilding.
It is in the chancel, however, that the most
skilled workmanship, as well as the most costly
materials, have been lavished, and the grandest
powers of artistic conception everywhere dis-
played. The finished sculptured work, the
polished coloured marbles, the rich mosaic
paving, and the transparent glory of the beau-
tiful stained glass windows, all tend to give an
appearance of great beauty and positive splen-
dour. The altar is raised about four feet above
the level of the nave, and is most delicately and
chastely worked in Cararra, Sicilian, Sienna,
and Devonshire marbles, the whole exhibiting
great taste and beauty of design and exquisite
workmanship. On the reredos, which extends
across the whole width of the chancel, angels
are appropriately arranged in the attitude of
adoration. Over the tabernacle four angels,
finely executed in white marble, support with
uplifted hands a jewelled silver gilt crown,
forming a canopy under which the Monstrance
is placed at Benediction and Exposition. The
front of the altar and sides of the tabernacle
are carved with groups representing scenes in
the life of our Lord. Shaftings of Caen stone
spring from the ground on each side of the
chancel, and carry the ribs of the groined ceil-
ing, which are decorated with carved bosses
at the intersections. Bound below the windows
is a carved cornice, from which are suspended
hangings of rich crimson silk velvet. The
communion rail is very handsome, and is
constructed of brass, wonderfully wrought,
and polished oak, elaborately carved and
moulded, all of very artistic workmanship.
Externally the buildingc, is finisheln. with
Yorkshire parpoints and Stourton freestone
dressings. The most striking exterior feature,
perhaps, is the De Trafford Chauntrey, beyond
which is seen the gabled roof of the chancel ;
whilst the west end, with its flanking buttresses,
canopied arcading, massive rose window, and
turretted gable, is also very attractive in ap-
pearance and. execution. The presbytery is a
very picturesque and commodious building,
fitted up and finished throughout in the most
complete and characteristic manner.
The total cost of this magnificent pile of
buildings has been £20,000 ; and the whole
work has been executed, from the designs of
Mr. E. Welby Pugin, by Mr. Glaister, con-
; tractor, Liverpool.

We hear that there are over 1,000 dogs which
have been seized by the police under Sir R. Mayne's pro-
clamation waitiog to be claimed at the metropolitan police
sta ions. The regulation is, that they should not go al
largo without a muzzle during the dog-days, as a security
for the public against the bite of mad dogs.
