THE SPIRIT OF POPERY.
MR. EDITOR,—It is almost superfluous to ob-
serve, how unfounded and absurd are the asser-
tions of the advocates for the emancipation, as it
is most erroneously termed, of the Papists. The
emancipation that can or ought to be desired for
them, is emancipation from foreign influence, and
the doctrines attendant upon the POPE'S supre-
macy. It is not, however, my intention to enter
in detail upon this subject, but to call the most
serious attention of the country to the following
unfavourable, but too faithful, a portrait of Po-
pery in a foreign country ; and, let me ask, is
foreign Popery one religion, and the religion and
spirit of the Papists here, if the execution of the
laws did not controul it, another? The follow-
ing letter, taken from a Sunday paper, needs no
further comment than to inquire if notice has
been taken of the circumstance in the proper
quarters

" The following is part of a Letter, jtist received
Rclare, MAY 25.-4 have to lament the loss of Mr. DENTS,
the late British Consul at Civita Vecchia, who died on the
19th inst. after a short illness. Ills remains, attended by a few
followers, were interred in the garden of the Vice Consul; and
the funeral service was read by an English Gentleman I The
regret I feel. for my friend_ is augmented by the humiliating
circumstances which accomparied his obsequies ; for, when I
say there Were a few followers, I mean those who evinced a
Christian-like deportment ; he. was indeed followed by a great
part of the inhabitants, but in a tumultuous manner, with
hissing and shouting. The police officers being so remiss as to
witness this disgraceful scene with indifference, and when the,
house of the deceased was nearly blockaded, said they could
not interfere without express orders from their superiors ! These
are the people'who, intolerant to those that profess not their
own faith, on every occasion, demand for themselves UNQUA-
LIFIEDCONCESSIONS, but towards those of a different. per-
suasion, steel tilde hearts against the impulses of gratitude
and humanity, and with relentles barbarity assail the lifeless
body of the REPRESENTATIVE of THAT GOVERNMENT to
which they have recently owed the reservation of THEIR
COUNTRY, and instead of honouring tile poor relic, oppose an
interment they would not disallow a brute animal !"

Mr. BLAKE stated, that his Lordship upon the inquiries which
he had made in the presence of the parties in 'his private room
in this matter, had directed that the Lady who had been in
charge of the children should be immediately removed, and that
the children should be placed under Lord Crewe's care until
another Governess was appointed. The Master had approved
of Miss Shepherd, who had been already mentioned to his
Lordship for the office, and he, the Learned Counsel, now
moved on the part of the children, that the appointment of the

that it was against evidence. The plaintiff had been employed

1001. which the Jury gave him. •

defendant had obtained evidence since trial; to prove the veidiet
was given for more work than the plaintiff' had really done.—
The Court granted a rule on. payment of costs.
