THE ROUTE HOME.

The two young northerns in the preceding anecdote,
who, had a decided predilection for a land instead of a
sea passage, were overheard one day, when the Glen-
bervie was making her way through a sea placid as glass,
—and.in the act of leaning over the bulwarks of the Yes-
sel,,arranging about the best route home—" What. I
mean to do, Jock, is this, whan I mak' siller, and gaun
hame again, is just to gang up through America,, baud
in ay north, till I come to Hudson's Bay, and then cross
the ferry to John O'Groat's House, when I may say
I'm at my ain door." " Waesock ! man !" replied the
other, " is that a' ye ken about the place we're gaun to ?
—it disna lay that way ava—Demerara's an island on the
continent, and we hae naething niair to do than just to
step our wa's down through Spain, and France,, and Por-
tingal, and in through the back o' Iteland—syne east to
toonaidiadee—and ye hae a shorter ferry to cross there
than ye hae frae Hudson's Bay to John O'Groats."--

THE REV. R. J. M'GHIE'S SPEECH AT GLASGOW.

We copy from the Scottish Guardian the subjoined ex-
tract from the masterly speech of the Rev. Robert
M'Ghie, to which we alluded very briefly in our last
publication. The notes.of the Rhemish TeStament, in-
culcating principles solemnly disavowed by the Irish ca-
tholic bishops, it will be seen were just one year after
this disavowal privately published under the sanction of
those very bishops, and, of course, circulated among the.
Irish clergy and laity. On this subject Mr. M'Ghie
said—
He had now to direct their attention to the third resolution.
The resolution was an expression of the meeting, to the effect
that they did not think the oath of a Roman catholic bishop ab-
juring doctrines, was worthy of belief by protestants, which was
one of a very painful character indeed; and he would undertake
to prove, that not only had the Roman catholic hierarchy of
Ireland propagated the doctrines he had enumerated among
the clergy, but also among the catholic population. He was
sure they had already, -along with him, come to the conclusion,
that the authorities which he had brought forward, not merely
corroborated the doctrines set forth in Peter Dens, but illustra-
ted and amplified them to an extraordinary degree. They
would also agree with him, that if he proved that they propaga-
ted these doctrines, and gave to them all the weight of their
countenance and authority, that they were in reality the princi-
ples of the catholic church which they were circulating, and not
the opinions of Dens only, or of any single individual. (Cheers.)
That these abominable principles had been circulated not only
among the clergy, but among the catholic population, he would
adduce evidence to prove • and, after doing so, he would leave
his audience to come to their own conclusions as to the cause
of those evil passions which were raised in the hearts of that
pOpulation against their protestant brethren, and the bloodshed
and murder that so often disgraced the soil of Ireland. The
first thing he would lay before them was a bible, the notes of
which were copied verbatiM from the.notes of another bible, to
which he would afterwards direct their attention. This bible
was printed in 1816, in Dublin, and was declared to be revised
and corrected by Dr. Troy. Now, let the meeting attend to the
conduct of this doctor, awl, as he went along, let them be care-
ful to attend to dates. 161817, some of the notes of this bible
came under the eye of the editor of the British Critic, and he
brought them
.before the world, with the observation that they
were pretty practical matters, and led to pretty practical results.
The notes got into the newspapers, both English and Irish, and
created considerable ferment in the country, the public con-
ceivlng that if the doctrines laid down in these notes were held
hy the catholics, they had no title to the enjoyment of that-po-
litical power which they were demanding. The matter reach-
ing the ears of Dr. Troy, he published a disavowal of having
either revised or authorised that kible. His disavowal was as
follows:

" Having seen a new edition of the Rhemish Testament. with
annotations, published by Corns, Dublin, and Keating, &e.,
London, 1816; said to be revised, corrected, and improved by me,
I think itnecessary to declare, that I never approved nor meant
to approVe, of any edition of the old or new testament which
was not entirelyconformable, as well in the notes as in the text,
to that which was edited by- R. Cross, Dublin, 1791, containing

hoer inapprobation, and which

since been published with my sanction. As in the said new
edition the notes vary essentially from those of the last-mentioned
editions, which exclusively I have sanctioned for publication, I
should think that circumstance alone fully sufficient to induve
me to withokl every kind of approbetion front it ; but. having
read, and now for the first time considered these notes, I not on-
y do not sanction them, butsolemnly ‘,leciare that I utterly re-
ject them generally, as harsh and irritating in expression, some
of them as false and absorb in reasoning, and many of them as
uncharitable in sentiment. They farther appear to countenance
Opinions and doctrines which, in common with the other Ro-
man catholics of the empire, I have solemnly disclaimed upon
oath.

Under these circumstances, and with these impressions on
my wind, I feel it an imperious duty to admonish that portion
of the catholic body which is entrusted to my.charge, the dan-
ger of reading or paying attention to the notes or comments of
the said new edition of the testament, and I enjoin the Roman
catholic clergy of this diocese to discourage and prevent, by
every means in their power, the circulation amongst catholics
of a work tending to lead the faithful astray, and much fitter to
engender and promote among Christians hostility, bitterness,
and strife, than (what should be the object of every such pro-
duction) to cultivate the genuine spirit of the gospel, that is,
the spirit of meekness, charity, and peace. J. T. TORY.
"Dublin, 24th October, 1817."
After this disavowal, they would perhaps say that he surely
would not take notes from that bible to prove his accusation,
but just let the meeting have patience fur a short time. Mr.
M'Ghie, after reading a reply by Richard Coyne to the above
letter, in vindication of himself, next directed the meeting to
the evidence of Dr. Murray before the committee of the House
of Commons, in 1825, nine years after the above circumstance,
and quoted the following passages as an example:—
" Are you aware that an edition of the testament, with notes,
was published in Dublin, in or about
.1816, by Dr. Troy ?—I
am.. That edition seas published under a misconception. Dr;
Troy had given his sanction to an edition of the bible, supposing
it to be the same that he had before sanctioned; but, as soon as
he found his mistake, he withdrew his approbation, and I do not
find that the edition is in use among Roman catholics.
"By what document can you. show that Dr. Troy withdrew
his sanction ?—lle wrote a letter to that effect, which was pu6.'
lishetiat the time.
"Were not those .notes the usual notes in. use among Roman
catholics ? were they not extracted literally from those to be
hey were not used Ireland
found in the. Douey version ?—T
before; for there. had not been in that .country any previous
edition of them.
" Where were they. obtained; by Coyne, the printer, or by
whom were they furnished ?—They were furnished in an edition
known in England, and which proceeded from certain exiles
who left this country in.angry times, and carried a little of the
spirit of the times along with them. It is a subject of regret to
many sincere catholic* that too much of that spirit has been
