TO CORRESPONDENTS.

Surely the signature, " John Holland Brownlow Shed," to
a letter we have received must be an adopted one ; at all
events, we have more respect for the character of the
writer than publish his preposterous recommendation.
The Rev. Mr. Urlaw begs thankfully to acknowledge the
receipt of two pounds from " A Wellwisbet ," towards the
enlargement of St. Barnabas' Church, and wishes also to
express his grateful sense of the kind and Christian spirit
that breathes through the letter which conveyed them.
Let " M. S. R. P." keep quiet until after the first Wed-
nesday in January, and he will then find, if we are not
greatly mistaken, that the question which forms the ground-
work of his strictures will be answered to his entire satis-
faction. We may be expected to be more in the secret
than be is. He had better attend the meeting of the
Operative Protestant Association, at the Music-hall, on
Friday evening, when he will probably receive some grati-
fying information.

TUESDAY MORNING, DECEMBER 14, 1841

We live in an age of universal toleration ; we pique
ourselves upon the fact, and, for our part, we should
be the last to desire any change in our institutions
which would give it a different complexion. Our an-
cestors, borrowing from their Popish forefathers,
seemed to think that mind could be brought into uni-
son with mind by the intervention of a merely physical
machinery, and were very well disposed to apply the
screw to thumb or jugular as the occasion might re-
quire; but a better condition of feeling and a sounder
state of opinion began to exert their influence; re-
strictions against thought began gradually to be re-
laxed; and a penal code against diversity of sentiment
on all,U even the most sacred subjects, happily no longer
exists in this country.

It does not follow, however, because toleration has
been thus so widely extended, that the things tolerated
have altered their nature, or that some of them are less
obnoxious or injurious now than when they were the
object of the severest prosecution. No such conse-
quence can be legitimately drawn ; the only fair con-
clusion is, that the age is less advertent and more
liberal.

There is another inference, however, and that is,
that since the,State has relieved itself of the burthen
of looking after things which it once regarded as
worthy of all its solicitude, individuals in their private
capacity, or collectively, have a duty of watchfulness
cast upon them of a much more stringent kind than
they ever had before.

The civil ruler is now reluctant to put forth his
powers against even the filthy and blasphemous sect of
the Socialists ; and this proves—what ? Not surely
that Socialism is not a hideous monstrosity and satire
upon the godlike being, man, which should call for the
exposure and denunciation of all good men; but that
toleration is now carried to the very highest pitch,
while the things tolerated have in no degree altered
their original character.

Our mild and tolerant laws now take little or no no-
tice of the Order of Jesuits—an order once regarded
with horror by all Europe, and which continued to
disturb every country in which it found a footing, till
in 1773 it was suppressed by Pope Clement XIV., who
is supposed to have fallen a victim to their vengeance.
On the 6th of August, 1762, their institute was con.
demned by the parliament of France as contrary to the
laws of the state, to the obedience due to the sove-
reign, and to the welfare of the kingdom. In Spain,
where they conceived their establishment to be per-
fectly secure, they experienced an overthrow equally
complete. The example of the I(ing of Spain was
immediately followed by Ferdinand VI. of Naples,
and soon after by the Princes of Parma. They had
been expelled from England in 1604 ; from Venice in
1606 ; and from Portugal in 1759. upon the charge of
having instigated the families of Tavora and D'Aveiro
to assassinate King Joseph I. Frederick the Great of
Prussia was the only monarch who showed a disposi-
tion to afford them protection. No other Order in the
Church of Rome increased with so much rapidity to
wealth and power, or made such a figure in the world
as the Jesuits. - When Loyola, in the year 1540, peti-
tioned the Pope to authorise the institution, he had only
ten disciples ; but in the year 1608, sixty-eight years
after the first institution, the number of Jesuits had
increased to 10,681. In the year 1710, the Order pos-
sessed 24 professed houses, 59 houses of probation,
340 residences, 612 colleges, 200 missions, 150 semi-
naries and boarding-schools, and consisted of 19,998
Jesuits. These were actually so many incendiaries
sent forth to embroil the nations of the world—to set
them, and to keep them fighting with one another.
From being the confessors of kings and of their mis-
tresses, and of ministers of state, they became ac-
quainted with the secrets of every cabinet. These
were communicated to their general at Rome, who was
either a tool of the Pope, or had the Pope as a tool of
his ; and thus he had the command of a machine by
which he could influence, and often guide the measures
of every court in Europe, except those who had thrown
off the Papal yoke ; and even some of these were more
influenced by the Jesuits than the world knew at the
time. D'Alenibert compared the society to a naked
sword, the hilt of which was at Rome. Their influ-
ence m England was most pernicious, and was unin-
terrupted from the accession of Elizabeth tu the re-
volution in 1688, for it was their incessant plotting
against the life and government of that princess that
laid her under the necessity of having recourse to ri-
gorous measures, which laid the foundation of those
discontents which agitated the country in succeeding
reigns. In Elizabeth's time, it was the practice of Je-
suits to assume the character of zealous Protestant
preachers with a view to create divisions—a practice we
are far from sure they have abandoned at the present
day. The preaching of the Puseyites is certainly
something which bears a very striking resemblance to
it.

This Order, as our readers are well aware, was re-
stored by the late Pope, Pius VII., who declared that
he should " deem himself guilty of a great crime to-
wards God, if, amidst the dangers of the Christian
Republic, (in other words, the cause of Popery,) he
should neglect to employ the aids which the special
providence of God had put in his power, and, if
placed in the bark of St. Peter, and tossed by conti-
nual storms, he should refuse to employ the vigorous
and experienced rowers who volunteer their services."
Such was the token of gratitude which Great Britain
received from his holiness for the favour she had shown
him, in the days of his humiliation, under the iron
yoke of Napoleon. But the society was. originally

framed for putting down the Reformation, and had
proved itself the most important and useful of all ihe.
Orders placed in opposition to that great revolt against
the Roman usurpation; and could not be dispensed
Jesuitism, therefore, was restored, and has ta-

ken root in the very heart of this country

We cannot immediately lay our hand upon the Se-
creta Monita of this pious fraternity; but the crooked
hold, and the insid.uus arts whicl►

morals which th

they practise, are so well known as to have become a
proverb in the world. Well, even this order is tole-
rated among us. They have their colleges at Stony-
_, and at Clongowes in Ireland, and
other institutions also in both countries ; and
even the
provisions of the Catholic emancipation act with re-
gard to the registry of their names and establish-
ments in the sister country, have scarcely ever been
enforced. Here then is toleration with a witness ; the

hurst in Lancashire,

law allows it; the parties enjoy it; and we are not
aware of any attempt being made to deprive them of
it. But does it follow from this that we have nothing
to apprehend from Jesuitry, and no need of any cau-
tion against the Order ? Certainly not. It is bound
by the same ties it ever was to " put down the Refor-
mation," hopeless as the task may now seem, to un-
dermine our church and creed, and to advance the in-
terests of the Papal See. The. Society are still, as
ever, the devoted JanissarieS of the Popedom ;
and
without presuming to allege that it is they -who have
burned the armoury in the Tower, orciaused those
other great conflagrations which have recently taken
'place, we have no hesitation in saying that we coincide
in sentiment with those who entertain violent susPi-
cion and jealousy of the Order, generally, and in our
mind connect much of the disturbances which have
taken place in Ireland, and of the successful march of
Popery and O'Connellism in this country, with their
machinations.

The Mercury, we perceive, in its number of FridaV'
joins in with the miserable yelp of the 'limes against
the Rev. Mr. Ould for his allusion to Guy Fawkes at
the Bolton Protestant Meeting, and his inferences
that traitor's designs to the possibility of similar de-
signs and practices being in operation at the present
day. But both journals are guilty of a palpable iris"
representation, inasmuch as they impute to Mr. hula
the making of a general charge involving all Roan°,
Catholics, as if he looked upon all the members °I
the Church of Rome as joining, or as being likely
to
join, in such atrocious proceedings, or as capable of
approving of them. Whereas he said nothing of the
sort, nor was anything further from his intention, as
we are well assured. What he did say was merely in
the way of warning, and had reference to the possible
actualities of a party notoriously unscrupulous in the
use of means, and not to those of the Roman Catholic
body at large. It would seem, indeed, that the Jesuits
have got the command of a very powerful press in
this town, and that, on the slightest provocation, tile
quills of their zealous employe's are ready to start on
end. The Times, the Mercury, the Journal, anti, w°
believe we may add, the Chronicle, i•re their very °be
dient, humble servants. Is there nothing
portentous
in this circumstance ? We do not say that any one'
or all of these clever papers together, would actually
set the Mersey on fire; but we say it is a remarkable
proof of Jesuitical activity, and adds new force to the
impression that Jesuitry is by no means a thing in
these days to be overlooked.

Lord Alvanley has been unintentionally the author
of much good, inasmuch as he has drawn forth from
the Earl of Roden a short but very admirable pamphlet
in reply to his proposal for subsidising the Irish priests.
Of that project we know not whether we are to hear
more, nor if we are, what is to be its ultimate destiny ;
but if we felt the need of faithful counsel, and clear de-
monstration on the subject, we could not desire any-
thing beyond what we are favoured with by the noble
earl—a most competent adviser, and a witness above
all suspicion. His lordship has condescended to meet
the noble projector on grounds of ordinary policy', and
to shew that if principle did not entirely forbid coinci-
dence with this scheme, yet that every consideration
of prudence and common sense would. This we 10°k
upon as a very great effort not only of condescensi° ,
but of patience, affability, self-control, self-del:01' and
much considerateness for the weakness of others' the
part of his lordship, who feels, we are well
assured,
deeply as any other, the utter impossibility of
entertain'
ing such a plan for a moment, consistently with the
indisppnsable requirements of conscience and duty.
To think of making Ireland happy and prosPerlsi
by paying the priests of Romanism would be a 811
greater mistake than that of endowing maynouth---a
greater mistake, inasmuch as it would be a far
more
costly experiment, and proportionately disaPPintillg
in its results. There are about 4000 priests in Ire-
land, who, at a moderate computation, receive ilst
a-year each—without reckoning the bishops—na whit.
they call the voluntary principle ; which, however,
s
no further " voluntary" than that the sums paid could
not be enforced by legal process. Their total income,
therefore, is about £600,000 a-year, whilst the income
.
derived from tithe, or tithe-rent, by the established
clergy, does not exceed £300,000. To compensate the
priests, then, for their present emoluments would re-
quire a large sum ; but large as it is, it would, as Lord
Roden generously observes, be well worth while to pa)''
if it could be done conscientiously, or if being done,
it would purchase all that peace for the country which
the favourers of the project seem to expect. But there
are two grounds of objection—first, that the govern-
ment-paid priests would still remain the sworn vassal°
of a foreign potentate, and essentially unchanged in
their disaffection to a Protestant sovereign—priests
of Rome still, though in the pay of a Protestant
state; and secondly, that the purchase up of °an
body of claimants, would by no means he a satisfac-
tion to another—the monastic orders, who would soon
take the place of the pensioned parties, collect all those
fees which their predecessors might have been induced
to abandon, and eventually so work their cause, and
so make themselves felt, that some future Lord Alvan-
ley would have to come forward with another budget
to still the new agitation, and make a new composition
for a little more peace with the Church of Rome.
Lord Roden has exhibited this, anti many more argu-
ments in detail, with a view to shew the absolute folly
of such a bargain even upon the common-sense prin-
ciple of seeking an equivalent for one's money—a quid
pro quo in common dealing. But he does not leave
the case there he does not omit to observe, that in
point of principle such a bargain would be a base one,
and inconsistent with every obligation we owe to our

government and religion

We are ourselves induced to notice such a topic as
that brought forward by Lord Alvanley with mucli
reluctance, as it has a tendency to familiarise the mind
with a thought which cannot be justly viewed without
abhorrence. When we are asked to take Popish priests
into pay, we presume it is a fair question to ask,. In
return, what they are to be paid for. Is it for doing
good, or for doing harm ? As for the good—it cannot
be. We have sworn that they teach error; our Church
has pronounced it, and we have subscribed to it. Nor

is their false-teaching of a trifling or unimportant cha-
racter; it is vitally, essentially wrong, and it produces
fruits the most bitter, the most injurious—fruits abso-
lutely poisonous to society. Can we—should we paY
them, then, for such labour of mischief ? Away with
the monstrous proposition We put it from us as an
abomination. But it is not for doing good that it is
proposed to pay Romish priests; it is that they may
abstain, in some degree, front doing harm. Their fall-
' ries would be a sort of black-mail levied upon the state
for a certain amount of evil remitted, and the state
would thus acknowledge itself their vassal. What 3
relation to exist between a government and its subjects
Well has Lord Roden observed on this head—
". Our own laws should be obeyed and acknowledged as
supreme, and, if faithfully and firmly administered, they are
sufficient to repress any disorderly conduct on the part of the
priests of the Church of Rome. Deeply, I am convinced,.
would it grieve the heart of every true British Protestant, it
ever they should witness the day when it became necessary
to callin the aid of the Pope of Rome to assist our gracious
Queen in the government of her subjects. If such a time;
should ever arrive, ' the stin of England will indeed be set.'
Now, we agree with his lordship in depreciating anY
plan for " calling in the aid of the Pope of Rome to
assist our most gracious Queen in the
her subjects"; but, the plan, after all, is not so strange,
or new to us, as his lordship seems to think ; what
have the Whigs been doing for the last ten years, but
calling in the Pope's aid, or that of his priests (which
is the same thing) to assist them in governing Ireland,
ay, and England too ? We verily believe that Popish
priests and Jesuits have had a much larger share in

the administration of public affairs during the regime:
,of the Whigs than many are aware. We have, happily,

habit
we fear, made it so. The best argument on
this head, however, will be a practical one, and will con-
Bist not in talking about it, but in actually governing
the country independently of Nlr. Daniel 0' Connell,
any of his myrmidons, either here or elsewhere. In
e"nection with this important point, we shall borrow
another excellent passage from the noble earl :
" The difficulties peculiar to Ireland," says his lordship,
wZhich stand in the way of a due observance of the laws,
~jul be materially diminished by a firm adherence to prin-
•P•e• It is only when men's minds are tossed about, at one

:l'lY and impartially administered—let crime be diligently
rught out and punished—let men be selected to fill the dif-
ferent situations under government patronage for their moral
n. intellectual fitness—let the appointments in the Esta-
nslted Church be conferred on men whose lives are devoted
'0 their sacred calling—let protection be afforded to life and
doPerty as far as in the government lies—and whilst tolera-
nr full and free, is extended to every religious sect, let
cleoura,rernent and protection be given to the truth, and I
44'0►nedoubt but that Ireland will soon become different
.._°'ll what she is, and make equal progress in civilization, in
Nolality, and in religion, with other parts of the empire."

- --
We have nothing to add to observations so sound,
to truly liberal, and just. Popery is the curse and
ruin of Ireland, and with Popery, cost what it may, we
can have no peace, but what will be ultimately injuri-
°Ns to ourselves. "No peace with Rome " must still
be the motto on our banner, under all circumstances ;
!or it is the only ensign that can conduct to any thing
Ivhich can be called peace, or preserve us from a truce
/Lore to be dreaded than open war.

The mystery which still overhangs the Exchequer
„
fraud, affords a fine opportunity for the invention
awl propagation of tales, intended as solutions, of
Ivlnch everybody is at liberty to believe just so much
nothing at all, as he pleases. That there are " high
Parties involved whom it is the wish of the government
to screen," is one of these fictions, but one in which,
for our part, we place no faith whatever. It contains
a slanderous imputation, however, which we would
gladly see repelled by some further disclosures.
It is to be presumed that Smith has by this time re-
vealed all that he knows of the business—an amount
which, one should suppose, would leave nothing more
for curiosity to desire ; yet the prosecution of the mat-
ter, on the part of the crown, seems to have ended.
ItaPallo is discharged.; Beaumont Smith is sentenced
to transportation, and so the matter rests. With re-
gard to the money, there is• not the least idea that any
Part of it will be recovered from the parties, whoever
they were, to whose plans the unfortunate Smith was
lo powerful an assistant. On this head the London
717nes makes the following interesting observations :

"To those who have been used sometimes to read and hear
°f city failures, whether mercantile or on the Stock-Exchange,
there will appear nothing strange or unaccountable in the utter
(t Ikkipation of £300,000 without any gain to the parties ; nor
411 Y expectation that a hoard could be discovered, even by
tracking every single bill through all its stages to its ulti-
Mate resting-place.
The present autumn has already witnessed several, nay,
many failures, in London and the larger towns, of amount
!quailing, or even exceeding, the exchequer-bill fraud, and
M each of which it might with quite as much propriety be
What can have become of all this money ?' We have
Been bankers, once worth £300,000 or £400,01 0, now deficient
Perhaps nearly as much ; booksellers, in a few years, minus
tlOO,OOO or £150,000 ; and warehousemen who, in two years,
have dissipated £BO,OOO ! Yet none of these occupations
offer so easy and rapid a method of getting rid of money as the
!Hue-bargain system on the Stock-Exchange. Where, then,
18 the wonder, that two or three persons, without exciting
',tnY observation, should, in the time which seems to have
been spent in the work, have got rid of the sum now in ques-
tion:—not
£300,000, we apprehend; but only such amount
48 may have been advanced on Exchequer-bills apparently of
that value ?"

So much as to the money; as to the,parties, it does
certainly seem passing strange that all other besides
Smith and Rapallo are yet unnamed. If Smith's con-
feshion is to be believed, other parties there certainly
were, and they more guilty even than himself. " Al-
lured and beguiled by plausibility, power, and talent,"
he says in his confession, " I became entangled beyond
escape, and while Exchequer bills were obtained from
one to an enormous extent, I never derived benefit even
to the small extent necessary to relieve me from my
comparatively trifling embarrassments." From another
Part of his written statement it would appear that he
had determined not to withhold any information what-

ever of which he was possessed in connection with the
transaction, and it is presumable that he has since
given it. Some commiseration is due to the fate of
this unhappy man. He has been guilty of a tremendous
breach of trust Which has been the means of defraud-

ing innocent parties to an immense amount; and yet
it appears that he sought nothing for himself, and with

ample opportunity to do so, forbore to make any pro-
vision against the day of discovery, which he knew
would certainly come. Finally, he made no attempt
to escape, and tendered to that justice which he had so
grievously wronged all the amends in his power. These
-at least are circumstances of mitigation, and shew him
to be a man of some conscientiousness ; indeed, if his
.own story be true, fatuity is the most remarkable
feature of his conduct.

LOCAL NEWS

Ora Dr rs.—Amongst the presents which have already been
received from this town by the lady patronesses of the ap-
proaching Anti-Corn-Law Bazaar, are, we understand, a
pair of very fine white ducks, late the property of a well-
known venerable colonel ; a very curious tile, from the roof
of an ex-quaker ex-member of the council, in fine preserva-
tion ; and a curious and very 'carce copy of the Municipal
Reform Act, full-bound calf, plain edges, not lettered, which
has recently been discovered by an eminent authority in West
Derby Ward. We are informed that it is in contemplation
to forward also for sale an authentic copy of the correspon-
dence between a celebrated anti-corn ex-dignitary of Liver-
pool and her Majesty's late Home Secretary, upon the occa-
sion of an expected promotion to the dignity of the baronetcy.
We shall bid for this lot, and buy it if it goes worth money,
•as a new year's present for our readers.
DEATH FROM APOPLEXY.—An inquest was held yesterday;
before Mr. Curry, on view of the body of Charles Houlgrave,
'The deceased was employed, as an anchorsmith, at Mr. Mo•
lyneux's smithy, in Orford-street. On Saturday morning
'while he was at work, he suddenly dropped down in a fit, am
`was for some time partly insensible. \\ hen he came to him-
self he resumed his work, but in about five minutes again
became ill, complaining of his breast. As he soon afterward
appeared to be dying, a surgeon was sent for, but he expires
lbefore he arrived. It appeared from an examination of the
body that the deceased died from congestion of the brain, or
apoplexy. Verdict accordingly.
ASSAULT ON SHERIFF'S OFFICERS.—OR Friday, Sarah
'Roberts, wife of Roberts, MiGuire-street, and two
boys, Robert and Richard Roberts, his sons, were charged
at the Police-court with a violent assault on three borough
officers, while in the execution of their duty. Mr. W. Law-
ton, sheriff's officer, said that on Tuesday night, between
seven and eight o'clock, he went with his two assistants,
Shannon and Lord, to execute a warrant for debt at the pri-
soner's house. He immediately went up stairs to seize the
goods, followed by Shannon, when they were grossly
assaulted by Mrs. Roberts and her sons. The witnesses
could not, however, swear to the identity of the elder boy,
Robert. In cross examination it was admitted, no notice of
the declaration had been served. This it appeared was not
requisite in law, and the case being proved, the mother was
fined 205., or to be imprisoned seven days, and the younger
boy, Richard, 2s. 6d. for the assault. Robert, the other
son,- was discharged.
MILK AND WATER AGITATION OF THE ANTI-CORN LAW
LEAGUE.—At a meeting of merchants, bankers, &c., &c.—
‘(most magniloquent are the concocters of these kind of go,
therings!)—held on Thursday last, at Derby, the celebrated
:Mr. Richard Cobden is reported to have made several extra-
ordinary discoveries, and, among the rest, that, in calling for
.a total repeal of the corn and provision laws, the gentlemen
'of the League are not going half far enough ! " I predict,"
'exclaims this philosopher and prophet, " that we who now
claim the total and immediate repeal, will, in less than a
twelvemonth, be looked upon as a moderate, milk and water
:Party! And what does the reader suppose are the ulterior
views of these milk and water gentry ? What are they to do
after having succeeded in withdrawing all protection from the
British landowner ? Why, only to compel him to contribute,
'in addition to this sacrifice, the trifling sum of twenty mil-
lions per annum of direct taxation ! After such a modest
:Proposition, are we not compelled to ask ourselves whether
sheer insanity or mendacious rascality predominates amongst
these agitators ? In the present instance, the absurdity and
impossibility of such an extortion as is talked of by the cot.
'ton prophet, is too grogs and glaring to excite anything ex•
'crept ridicule and contempt for its utterer, and for the gobe.
'mooches who swallowed it; but the animus is quite plain
We know well from it what such men would do, if the power
vas theirs, to consummate their infamous and dishonest

liberals of their class, who help to set in motion this body
which, if able to go alone, would crush them with no more
,compunction than they would immolate as many beetles!
SMITH'S LIVERPOOL COMMERCIAL ALMANACKS AND
DIARIES FOR 1542. By Alexander Brown, A.M.—These
ulmanacks and diaries are highly creditable to the publisher,
-Mr. Smith, of South Castle-street, who has presented to the
Public a series of very neat and comprehensive little works,
at an exceedingly moderate price, and to the editor, who has
made a judicious selection of the materials most suitable for
41 local almanack, and has arranged them with a view to ge-
neral utility. The tide-table, which is in each edition,
appears to have been calculated with great care, and we un-
slerstand that in comparing the tide-tables in the Commercial
Alniatiack for die present year with those in the other Liver-
pool almanacks, they have been found nearest the actual
.observation. Among the contents of the Commercial
Almanack, we notice considerable additions since last year,
'the most important of which are, the List of the House of
'Commons, distinguishing the politics of each member, the
Parish Authorities, Election Notices, and the recent Dock
Regulations and Signals, the political opinions of the mew-
l)e rs of Council, &c. Full particulars are also given of all
lire Railway, Steam-packet, and Postoffice Arrangements,
List of the Bonded Warehouses, &c., and the whole of the
;information is of the most varied and useful description.
The sheet and miniature editions contain an abridgment of
Itthe Commercial Almanack, and the neatness of the printing.,ll..eelegance of the style in which they ate got up, combined
h their extremely moderate price, render them deserving
of an extensive circulation.--Mercury.
