which have been similarly honoured by her Majesty, in
exhibiting all possible external marks of welcome and
respect. A procession of the authorities and people of
the town was formed for the purpose of receiving her
Majesty and the Prince, and accompanying them through
the town. The procession formed at the Town-hell at
one o'clock. It consisted of a detachment of yeomanry,
commanded by Colonel Barnard, followed by a number
of the borough police, and a band playing the national
anthem. Immediately after came a body of the gentry
and clergy of the county. They were followed by a body
of the inhabitants of Buckingham, the corporate officers,
the Members for the Borough, the members of the Town
Cstuncil, the Aldermen, the Borough Magistrates and
the Clerk of the Peace, the Town Clerk, th Mayor, and
the Chaplain. These preceded the Royal cortege, which
was followed by a procession of the trades of the town
and different societies.

the corporate insignia of the town was performed. The
Mayor, Mr. Henry Smith, advanced to the carriage in
which her Majesty and the Prince were, and tendered
to the Queen the mace on a cushion.

-elemmaa•MlClElMl.ryp.....ll•o3lM
the undisguised and avowed object of destroying the liberties
of our Church, your Grace for many years stood the first in
the foremost rank of danger in the defence of those liberties ;
and now, while we are being trampled down by another des-
potism, which threatens to annihilate all freedom of opinion
and action—and while we are doomed to feel that, if we dare to
utter our conscientious opinions, we must expect to be over-
whelmed with a torrent of slander and clamour—and while we
hear the right which the Holy Ghost has conferred upon your
Grace of teaching your own flock denied publicly, and in the
most insulting manner, by some of that flock, and your people
induced to despise your Grace's teaching, and to receive the
teaching of men, some of whom are nut Catholics—when we
see the people publicly, and, as we know, still more privately,
taught to distrust the integrity of the Holy See, and to im-
bibe doctrines regarding the authority of the Pope, which are
plainly at variance with Catholic faith;—when we see all
this, and behold your Grace exhibiting the same apostolic
courage in opposition to the tyranny which enslaves us now,
which you exhibited against the tyranny that threatened to
enslave us in former times, we return our fervent thanks to
the Giver of all good things, who has preserved your Grace
to these days for the defence of the Church's true freedom.
" We, therefore, my Lord, receive your pastoral instruc-
tions, not only with unfeigned submission, but with joy; and
we rejoice inure than we can express, that an opportunity is
thus presented to us of offering to your Grace the consolation,
such as it is, of this testimony of our filial love for your Grace
personally, of our undiminished reverence and obedience to
your Grace's authority, and of our increased confidence in
your Grace's wisdom and zeal.
" As the disciple whom Jesus loved used in his old days to
address his flock in the language of charity—' My *little
children, love one another'—so has your Grace, now so
venerable from your years and your merits, bequeathed to
us the same divine 'lesson of fraternal love. It shall be
our constant study to adopt this heavenly maxim in our own
conduct, and to communicate the influence thereof, as well
by example as by words, to those to whom we minister.
We do not hope to see the spirit of discord which now pre-
vails speedily and completely laid ; for we know that the
Devil, the world, and the flesh, shall continue to exercise
their influence more or less. But we are happy to be able
to inform your Grace that your words have already pro-
duced much good fruit, and, notwithstanding the strong
efforts of deceitful and evil-minded men, are still producing
good fruit.
" For the rest, my Lord, you do not require our encourage-
ment or approval. Your strength is from on high, whence
your authority is derived. Ecclesiastical history abounds
in examples of holy bishops who had to encounter, in de-
fence
of the liberty of the Church, far more grievous per-
secution than your Grace has been yet subjected to. God
alone knows what sufferings are yet in store for you; but
sure we are, that as, like St. Paul, you ' know not the things
which shall befal you,' so you can manfully declare with the
same Apostle—' 1 fear none of these things, neither do I
count my life more precious than myself, so that I may con-
summate my course and the ministry of the word, which I
received from the Lord Jesus, to testify the gospel of the
grace of God.'—Acts xx. 22-24.
" Alas ! how daring is the spirit of disobedience. It is no
longer content with assailing the venerable successor of St.
Lawrence ; it is no longer satisfied with appealing to the
passions of the most ignorant and excitable portion of the
people to overawe the canonical authority of the bishop in his
own diocese, but it is now openly endeavouring to engen-
der a feeling of disaffection even towards the common
father of the faithful, Gregory XVI., and to diminish the
love end reverence of the Irish Catholics for the Apostolic
.wee—the centre of Catholic unity, to which they have
clung with desperate fidelity for 1,400 years. It is in this
way the crafty spirit of impiety always commences its attack
on religion. It first alienates their affections from the clergy,
and then robs them of their faith. The assault upon the
successor of St. Peter, and visible head of the Church, is
commenced in the same manner, and conveyed through the
same channels as that which has been directed against your
Grace. But whether or not the councils of the wicked shall
continue to prevail, and the shafts of slander continue to be
directed against you, we at least shall cling closely to you,
and through you, as the connecting link, to the centre of
Catholic unity. You are our bishop—we are your clergy.
You will cling to the " Successor of Peter and Damascus ;"
and we will cling to you. You are our pastor; your voice
we shall always lovingly hear. You are our good father,
from whom we have never experienced a harsh word, or
harsh exercise of authority. We are your children, and
shall not leave your grey hairs, and your aged and anointed
head, to be buffetted and spit upon. In the day of your
suffering we shall suffer with you • and, as the blessed Law-
rence
desired to follow his venerable Bishop, Xystus, to mar-
tyrdom, so, if even that trial should conic upon you, we
desire to share it with you.

CHARITABLE BEQUESTS ACT.
The following resolutions have been adopted by fifty-
eight of the Roman Catholic clergy of the diocese of
Cork. The Cork Examiner says that this comprises all
the rural clergy of the diocese, with two exceptions, and
that separate resolutions are to be adopted by the clergy
of that city :
" That we deplore the interference, in any manner, of
the Legislature or Government in the concerns or discip-
line of the Roman Catholic religion in this country.
" That in an especial manner we protest against the
Charitable Bequests' Bill, as containing clauses irrecon-
cilable with the usages and discipline of the Catholic
Church, highly offensive to the Catholic clergy of Ire-
land in general, and particularly injurious to those of
the religious orders, as also unwisely and unnecessarily
tending to frustrate the benevolent intentions of the faith-
ful, and to deprive them of that right in the disposal of
property, to which they are justly and constitutionally
entitled."
FATAL ACCIDENT IN THE PIICENIX PARK.
Mr. Davis, one of the county coroners, has received
the following letter, in reply to a communication trans-
mitted by that gentleman to the Commissioners of
Woods and Forests, together with the finding of the
Coroner's inquest in the case of the children who were
drowned at Knockmaroon-hill on Saturday se'nnight :
" Office of Woods, &c., Jan. 11,1845.
" Sir,—l have, on behalf of the Commissioners of her
Majesty's Woods, &c., to acknowledge the receipt of
your letter of the ;th inst., transmitting a copy of the

consequent on the giving way of an embankment in the

to the houses and property of several poor families who
have been sufferers on this occasion ; and I have to ex-
press to you the extreme concern ft It by the Commis-
sioners at a calamity which has been productive of so
distressing a loss of life and destruction of property.
" The Commissioners have directed an investigation
of the most rigid kind to be forthwith instituted into the
causes which have led to this accident, and in the mean
time have issued directions for such assistance as may be
immediately necessary for the relief of the unfortunate
sufferers on this occasion being rendered.—l am, Sir,

The Mayor said—" May it please your Majesty to ac-
cept this mace, which I, as Mayor of this ancient and
loyal borough, humbly present in dutiful submission to
your Majesty's royal prerogative and authority."
To this the Queen replied, returning the mace, " Mr.
Mayor, I beg you will 'keep it. I am much gratified
with my reception in this borough."
The cheers of the people, who filled the Market-place
in masses, were deafening.
The entrance-gate of the avenue leading to Stowe
called the Long-drive, which is more than a mile and a
half in length was passed through by the royal party
immediately after leaving the last arch erected by the
people of Buckingham. Here the Members (including
Sir Thomas Fremantle), the clergy, and other authori-
ties, were drawn up on either side. There were also
parties of ,the yeomanry and a band. At a short dis-
tance further, where there is a rise in the groundoiou gain
from an eminence the first view of the magnificent man-
sion now honoured by her Majesty's presence.
In a few iminutes the royal cortege entered the avenue
which leads to the north front of the house, between two
pavilions of great size ornamented with sculpture. At
this point a new feature presented itself. A vast body
of horsemen, tenants of the Duke, were ranged on each
side of the way, their hats ornamented with green bands,
on which were inscribed the words " God save the
Queen." These horsemen closed in after the proces-
sion, and followed in a thick column up to the house.
This junction of the tenantry had a very imposing sight.
At the north, or chief entrance to the mansion, the
Duke of Buckingham was waiting to receive her Ma-
jesty, which he did by advancing to the carriage door
when her Majesty drove up. The Duchess was on the
steps, where a temporary canopy had been projected
from the portico, to protect her Majesty as she alighted.
The semi-circular court-yard, which is before the north
front of the mansion, was one vast mass of persons,
chiefly horsemen. Extending from the one side to tha
other of the semicircle was a line of labourers in white
smockfrocks. There were also some of the yeomanry,
and a band playing the national anthem. The cheers
of the people, as her Majesty alighted, were deafening.
Her Majesty and the Prince, after having been re-
ceived by their noble host and hostess, were conducted
through the hall, which is of noble proportions, and filled
with valuable pictures, bronzes, aitorelievos, and marbles
into the saloon, from which they passed to the left wing of
the mansion, in which are situated the rooms appropriated
to the private use of the royal visitors. These apart-
ments are fitted up in a style of lavish magnificence.
Most of those who have visited Stowe will remember the
"Rembrandt" room, the walls of which are covered with
some of the finest works of that painter. This is her
Majesty's bed-room. The drawing-rooms and other
apartments appropriated to the use of the royal visitors,
as distinguished from the state-rooms, are furnished in
the most rich and exquisite style.
It is understood that her Majesty's visit will be com-
paratively private. The number of guests in the house,
exclusive of the family of the noble host, will not exceed
twenty-four or twenty-five.
The dinner party this evening consists, besides her
Majesty and the Prince, of the Duchess of Buckiugham,
the Duke of Buckingham, Lord and Lady Delawarr,
Lord and Lady Jersey, the Marchioness of Douro, Lord
Nugent, Lord and Lady Orkney, Lady Peel, Sir R.
Peel, Lord Aberdeen, Miss Kerr, Lady Mary West,
Lady Clementina Villiers, Lady Anna Grenville, the
Marquis of Chandos, the Marquis of Breadalbane,
General Wemyss, Colonel Bouverie, Sir James Graham,
Dr. Buckland, Captain Carrington, the Rev. Mr. An-

ARCHBISHOP MURRAY AND HIS CLERGY.

DUBLIN, JAN. 14.—The following " Address of the
undersigned clergy to his Grace the Most Rev. Dr.
Murray" appears in the Dublin Evening Post of this
afternoon. Following the publication of the receipt of
the Propaganda, this address will produce a considerable
sensation. It is signed by fifty-five clergymen of the
diocese of Dublin, and it remains open for further signa-
tures :

" My Lord Archbishop, may it please your Grace,—We,
the undersigned clergy, officiating in the diocese of Dublin,
approach your Grace with feelings of profound veneration,
rejoicing that the appearance of your recent pastoral, ad-
dressed to us all, affords us the opportunity of thus publicly
and solemnly testifying the deep-felt sentiments of obedience,
veneration, and love which we have always borne, and now
more than ever bear, towards your Grace.
" You are, my Lord, under the vicar of Jesus Christ, the
pastor of us all. To you we have all, on the awful day of
our ordination, and kneeling before the altar of the living
God, promised OBEDIENCE and )u From the
obligations which we then contracted no power on earth but
that of the Sovereign I'ontiff can exempt us; and, with the
assistance of Divine grace, no other power, nor any other
powers together, shall ever be able to diminish in the smallest
degree, much less to extinguish, the feelings of obedience
and reverence which, as well from inclination as from a sense
of duty, we entertain towards you—our beloved father, our
venerable bishop.
"A day of trouble has come upon us, and the spirit evil,
which is always lying in wait to destroy, has assaulted with
unwonted fury the Church of God which is in this diocese.
The most unfounded and horrifying calumnies have been cir-
culated among the people, as well against your Grace as
against some of your Grace's clergy. Attempts have been
made in many ways, both covertly and openly, to sow bitter
dissension among the faithful, and to alienate their affec-
tions and their confidence from their lawful pastors, from
the clergy who are appointed to instruct them, to feed them
with the blood of Christ, and to watch over them, as having
to render an account of their souls. Attempts have been
made to overawe us into the adoption of particular opinions,
and a particular line of conduct—to overawe us by popular
clamour, and by a dread of encountering what, it is well
understood, we would of all things, next after the violation
of our duty towards our bishop and the Church, be most
anxious to avoid—the indignation, the odium, the distrust of
our beloved people—of our people in whose hearts we have
hitherto lived, for whose salvation we have so often risked
our lives at the bed of pestilence, and for whom, whatever may
betide, we shall rejoice to risk our lives a thousand and a thou-
sand times again. What is particularly afflicting is, that the
faithful have allowed themselves to be thus led astray by
men, some of whom are not even in name members of the
Catholic Church. These things have not made us despond;
for we know that such trials, and far more grievous trials,
have been the portion not only of particular churches, but
of the Universal Church from the beginning, and that her
triumph over them is among the strongest proofs that God
is her protector "all days, even to the consummation of the
world." But we have been oppressed with grief in witness-
ing the inroad of principles and feelings that are not of God,
nor according to God, among our beloved people, and the
alienation, however brief, between them and any of us. In
these our afflictions our eyes were turned longingly towards
your Grace. You are placed by God, through the appoint-
ment of the Holy See, to govern us who are of your flock, to
guide and teach us. You are our shepherd, whose voice we
are bound to hear—that is, to obey. In this day of trial,
when the authority of the good pastor is especially needed,
and his apostolical courage especially tested, we have watched
to hear your voice. We have heard it speaking to us calmly
and meekly, but distinctly and solemnly ; and your words
have filled our hearts with heavenly consolation, ant joy ex-
ceedingly great.
" It is now more than half a century since your Grace's
career in the ministry began, and nearly forty years since
your elevation to the episcopacy. During that. long, and,
from the circumstances of the times, most trying period, re-
ligion had flourished with increasing vigour and purity under
your councils and example. Churches worthy the majesty
of religion have been raised in all parts of the diocese. Con-
fraternities and approved practices of devotion have been
introduced and established. Institutions, like that of the
missionaries of St. Vincent or Paul, sources of salvation to
millions yet unborn, not only in this, but in every diocese of
the kingdom, have been formed and protected by your
Grace, in coins instances not only unaided, but, as
many of us well know, against powerful and most dis-
heartening opposition, and even obloquy and slander.
Religious orders of men and women, which some whose
public lives prove that they care very little for religion,
now accuse you of betraying what you have always warmly
encouraged and promoted. To you we are indebted for the
establishment of the Sisters of Charity, the Sisters of Mercy,
and the Brothers of the Christian Schools among us. For
the illustrious order of the Jesuits you have always had the
highest esteem and tenderest regard. The more distin-
guished members of this and of other religious orders have,
it is well known, in some instances, enjoyed more of your Grace's confidence than members of your own clergy. Not
a single instance can be shown in which you have ever,
by-
word or act, exhibited the least opposition or discouragement,
directly or indirectly, to any of these
orders. As to ourselves,
we are bound to attribute whatever claims we have upon a good
name, under God, to the model of priestly virtue wisich we,
have always had before
our eyes in the example of your .
Grace, as well as to your salutary admonitions and regula-
tions. In former times, when attempts were really made for

HER MAJESTY'S VISIT to STOWE.
STOWE, WEDNESDAY AFTERNOON.—This morning
her Majesty and Prince Albert, attended by their suite,
which comprised Earl Delawarr, the Earl of Jersey, the
Marchioness of Douro, General Wemyss, Colonel Bou-
verie, and Mr. Anson, left Windsor Castle for the pur-
pose of visiting Stowe, the seat of his Grace the Duke of
Buckingham. '.l he Royal party came by special train
from Slough to Paddington, whence, after visiting the
Duckess of Mecklenburgh Strelitz, they proceeded to the
terminus of the London and Birmingham Railway, at
Euston-square, where a special train was in waiting to
convey them to Wolverton, distant from Stowe about
fifteen miles.

It is almost unnecessary to say that her Majesty and
her illustrious consort were received all along the line
of railway between London and Wolverton with those
demonstrations of enthusiasm r. hich have accompanied
their progress on former occasions by the same route.
At the Wolverton station some preparation had been
made for the recep'ion of her Majesty and the Prince.
The platform of the station was covered with crim-
son cloth, and on the opposite side (that is to
say on the " down" line) tbere was accommodation
fur the public, who were admitted by tickets. The
special train arrived at Wolverton at ten minutes to two
o'clock. As it slowly moved up to the station her
Majesty was received with loud cheers by the spectutor4.
A company of the Buckinghamshire militia were drawn
up on the platform on one side of the entrance to her
Majesty's apartment, and on the other side two squadrons
of the Bucks Yeomanry, dismounted, were posted. Her
Majesty, the Prince, and their suite having alighted,

to the apartments
prepared for their use. The rooms provided for her
Majesty and the Prince were on the first. floor, those for
the suite were on the ground-floor. In each refresh-
ments were provided. After the lapse of about twenty
minutes it was intimated that the royal travellers were
ready to proceed, and almost immediately after they
entered the carriages, which had been drawn up at the
back of the station. Here a body of the Bucks Yeomanry
Cavalry, commanded by Major Lucas, was drawn up,
being the first of the troops appointed to escort her
Majesty to Stowe.
The distance from Wolverton to Stony Stratford is
about three miles. At almost every point on the way
people were collected, some on toot, and many in
vehicles of different kinds, who loudly cheered as the
carriages passed. There were two triumphal arches be-
tween Wolverton and Stratford. There were in the town
of stony Stratford altogether five triumphal arches,
come larger and handsomer than the others, but all
proving the loyalty and liberality of those who had
gone to the trouble and expense of erecting them. As
the royal cortege approached to within about hall a mile
of Buckingham the horses were changed, and at this

it presented a scene of great animation and gaiety. A
little further on, the first arch of the town of Bucking-
ham was seen. The royal party here proceeded at a slow
pace, and were greeted with deafening cheers. The
arch bore the inscription, " flail beloved Queen!" Her
Majesty passed under this arch at a quarter to three.
