Rev. R. Wall, of
A. Hopkins, of

the " archdiocese" of Tuam.
In reference to the above, the John Bull says :—" It
will be seen that two of the Popish Priests in Ireland
who recently abjured the errors of Romanism have epos-
taezed back to the Church of Rome. Is this a genuine
case of " the dog returning to his own vomit again," or
was the conversion a sham from the first, having for its
object to qualify them for " bearing witness of the
iniquity of the proselytizing system," and making an
edifying display of penitence for " the scandal of their
apostacy ?" There is no deception which the Jesuits will
not practice to compass their ends. A singular proof of
the extent to which they will carry the device of wearing
a mask would be the fact, if true, which has been stated
on the authority of an Irish clergyman, that Dr. Newman
was, before his entering at Oxford, an eleve of the Propa-
ganda. It would be curious indeed if it turned out, after
all, that the author of Tract XC. never was anything but
a Papist ; and that Dr. Pusey, and those who with him
have walked in that slippery way, have all along been
simply the dupes and tools of a crafty Jesuit. Dr. New-
man's own statement that he spoke hard things of the
Church of Rome " while his position required it," would
in that case be perfectly intelligible."

EXTRAORDINAY CHARGE
NOBLEMAN.

AGAINST A

On Friday Lord Frankfort appeared before Mr. Henry,
at Bow-street, London. on a summons obtained by Lord
Henry Lennox, to whom the noble defendant had sent
letters of an immoral nature, as will appear from the case
and evidence. Mr. Humphries, for the prosecution, said
that he would be able to show that the defendant had
several letters of the above-mentioned
Henry Lennox, several noblemen, clef

character to Lord
;omen, and ladies;

in which letters, however, the names used were those of
Mr. Wilmer Harris, of Sutton Lodge, Hackney, and 12,
Moorgate-street, City, and Mr. M'Beath, of 3, Vigo-
street, Regent-street, one of which was as follows :
" Mr. Macbeath presents his duty to the peeresses and
the daughters of the nobility and gentry, and informs them
that he continues to arrange assignations with the most
perfect impunity and safety. Having been trained by Mr.
Harris, he now acts directly under President and Director
General of Assignations, Phipps.

. _
" Mr. M. beds to call the attention of the ladies to his
long-established mode of transacting business. He him-
self waits upon them at dusk, sending up his card in a
tissue envelope; always seeing the parties himself, and
arranging perionally with them for the reception of the
Lothario of the evening, at one o'clock at night ; when
he is enabled by his peculiar system to keep the husband
insensibly asleep, while the parties are engaged in the

drawn[-room
" P.S.—He guarantees to married women
husband's fortune, or more, if they are found out
will put him in the Ecclesiastical Courts, which are an ap-
pendage of his establishment. To spinsters he promises
husbands, whom he puts in mad-houses, and gets all the
fortune for the wives. His predecessor broke one ba-
ronet's neck, for his wife's sake ; and having got rid of
another, is now endeavouring to destroy his will. Those
ladies who will turn up with the parties sent may be sa-
tisfied they will be looked at ;' but those who refuse to
do so will not be looked at all."

The Rev. IT. M`Kenzie and Lord Henry Lennox proved
that they had received similar letters. Thornton, a ser-
jeant of the detective force, stated that he had detected
Lord Frankfort's servant on the 22d July in the act of
putting letters, one of which was read, and was of a simi-
lar character to that mentioned above, into the post, when
he took her into custody. It further appeared from the
evidence of Inspector Field that the woman was in the
habit of posting letters for his Lordship, and on his ac-
companying her to his Lordship's house in Buckingham-
street, Strand, his Lordship, being informed by her that
the police were at the door, denied to them that she was
his servant, but said she was only his charwoman, and

day), his Lordship being held bound to appear in his own
recognizances for £5OO.
