PAPAL USURPATIONS.

(From the Dublin Evening Mail.)
We discussed in a previous number, the insolent assumption
,of the Papacy (urged through the Pen of the Rev. John Mac-
Hale, a titular Irish Archbishop,) of a right to interfere with
and control the enactments of the British Legislature, in the
matter of national education. This is a subject so entirely po-
litical in its bearing, that we wished to keep it clear and sepa-
rate from that, which having for its object the natural, domes-
tic, and civil rights of the Roman Catholic laity, we now wish
to bring before their eyes especially, in as distinct and tangible
a form as possible.
"It is but right," says the Rev. John Mac Hale, in his first
letter to Lord John Russell, " It is but right to acquaint your
lordship that the Catholic Bishops, and the Catholic Bishops
alone, have a right to regulate the choice of the books out of
which the faithful are now to draw the nutriment of piety and

sound doctrine."
It is clear from this passage, that not only are the parish
priests excluded from any right over the books to read by the
faithful (except as " subjects," or servants to the bishops), but
that parents and guardians are absolutely deprived of the natu-
ral right which God and the British Constitution has given
them, over the education and instruction of their own children
or wards! "To the Catholic Bishops—and to the Catholic
Bishops alone," belongs this domestic, this natural, this sacred
right! Roman Catholic Laymen of Ireland, do you permit
this usurpation of your bishops ? Will you permit it? Shall

it be said of you that you have not the right—that you cannot
exercise the power of educating your children as you please?
A.-e ye such spiritual, such temporal, such domestic slaves, that
ye dare not read a book yourselves, nor allow your children to
read a book, without the leave and imprimatur of the Roman
Catholic Bishops? Some of you are married to Protestants—
dare you permit none of your children—dare you not, if you
chose, permit all of your children—to read books unlicensed by
a Roman prelate? Have you no power or right to rear your
children (as long as they are under your tutelage) in what faith,
and after what method you think in your conscience to be fit ?
If you submit to the assumption now put forward by Dr. Mac-
Hale, you have no more power over the education of your chil-
dren than a beagle has over the lives of her "blind puppies
fifteen to a litter," which the huntsman has ordered to be
drowned. And yet ye are freemen! in temporals ! though sub-
jects in spirituals!!—such is yonr boast. Is this boast true ?
Are ye free in the most temporal, natural, and domestic of all
relations—the education of your children? Are ye free to edu-
cate your children as ye choose, and if ye choose it, in the
Roman Catholic faith—in the Episcopal Protestant faith—in
the Presbyterian faith? Not you, indeed, if the assertion of
Dr. Mac Hale be true. In the Roman Catholic faith you may,
nay, you must—you have no choice—ye are the bondsmen of
Rome—you must, we say, educate your children. In the Pro-
testant faith of any denomination, you must not, you dare not;
you cannot : for to "the Roman Catholic Bishops, and to the
Roman Catholic Bishops alone," belongs thp.right of educating
your children!
We urge this point upon the enlightened and educated Ro-
man Catholics, because we know, that e hether from curiosity
or good taste, many of thym are " constant readers" of this
journal. We ask them, is it practically the fact, that the Ro-
man Catholic Bishops are allowed the tight and the power here
assumed; and we bid them beware, if the case be otherwise,
of the invasion and encroachment on their parental rights thus
so arrogantly usurped by men who have no children of their
own, and are, therefore, unconsci, us of the ties and obligations
of paternity, and the reciprocal duties and affections of filial
love. We entreat them, as they desire to be—and to be con-
sidered—free, to resist this unhallowed attempt to wrest their
children from their bosoms, and to consign their youthful
minds to the guardianship of a childless priesthood. It behoves
them openly to protest against this dogma, and it requires but
one man of courage and character to begin the work and set the
example, to obtain, in less than a week, five thausand signa-
tures to such a remonstrance.

Sir,—As a further illustration of the tender mercies experi-
enced by the Protestants in Sardinia, and as affording a com-
ment upon the advice given by the conductors of the Duklin
Review (noticed some time since in the Standard) to " crush
them;" I have transcribed the following statement from the
Archives du Christianisme

"At Nice those of the inhabitants are punished who are
found guilty of the enormous crime of. possessing the Word of
God. A young protestant minister, Mr. Buscarlet, had distri-
buted a number of Bibles and New Testaments, and this distri-

bution has given rise to the minutest investigations. Mr. Bus-
carlet has been interrogated by the police on his conduct, a re-
port has been sent to Turin, and in obedience to orders sent
from the capital, he has been informed that he must quit the
kingdom in 48 hours. About 25 persons have been arrested
and imprisoned because copiss of the holy writings and other
religious books were found in their houses: One man, in parti-
cular, they tore from his bed very early in the morning, and
threw him into a deep dungeon, without even allowing him time
to dress. His wile was so overcome by this cruel treatment
that she has fallen i7to a case of delirium. The police are espe-
cially severe towards this man because he declared with great
boldness his new faith."

"Y 66, Rome is still the same ; but her doom is fixed, and I
trust is fast hastening. Once more the spirit of protestantism
is reviving on the Continent, and although the powers of dark-
ness are putting themselves in hostile array, and threaten to
" crush" the rising hopes of Christendom, the everlasting pro-
mise stands recorded—" He that sitteth in the heavens shall
laugh; the Lord shall have them in derision. Yet have I set
my King upon my holy hill of Zion. Your constant reader,
J. L.

With these extracts we leave the subject for the pre-
sent. The policy of excluding Roman Catholics from
civil power we conceive to be• a very different thing to
their exclusion from civil rights. On this topic we shall
probably offer a few observations on Frida3%

DESECRATION OF TH ,E
ABBATEI.—it will scarcely be
credited that in the nineteenth century, in an age pro-
fessedly religious, we should have to record the astound-
ing fact, that a legally constituted authority should decide
that the Sabbath Day should no longer be. reverenced.
But the following extract will prove that the fears we
have entertained, and have frequently expressed, relative
to the moral effects likely to be produced by the spread of
liberal principles were by no means unfounded. This
paragraph we insert on ,the authority of the Newcastle
Journal, a paper not more distinguished for its ability
than for its uncomproMising adherence to truth :

sumed on the Morning of Sunday at six o'clock and continue
open until ten o'clock, when the closing shall be announced by
the ringing of a bell. An act of more audacious profligaci and
wickedness than this was never yet perpretrated in a Christian
country, and least of all is it to be tolerated in those who arro-
gate to themselves exclusive regard for the welfare of the
people, and who are loud in their demands for the reformation
of all abuses. We are much mistaken if the orderly, right-
thinking people of Newcastle do not promptly step forward in
a mass, and, by the expression of their lousiest indignation,
.put down the wholesale attempt to outrage their moral and
religious feelings."
Noiv we • have invariably maintained that liberalism
(falsely so called) is intimately connected with infidelity;
and who, that has paid any attention to passing events
during the last few years, will not agree with us, that
impiety, infidelity, and an open disregard of the ordi-
nances of religion have been found closely associated
together ?

Naw STEAMER.—The Dublin company's new vessel, the
Duchess'of Kent, arrived yesterday at the quay, on her .first
voyage. She is a beautiful vessel, of the same power and
mould as the Queen Victoria. The Duchess of Kent arrived
at Kingstown in ten hours and forty-two minutes front .the
docks at Liverpool. This fine vessel will, on being registered,
continue to ply regularly between Dublin and Liverpool.- The
Company's next new steamer, the Royal Adelaide, is expected
in Dublin during the ensuing week, when she will take up the
line between this port and London. The Royal Adelaide is
equal in every respect to the Royal William. Two new
steamers (already far advanced in building) will .succeed the
Adelaide, and are expected to be ready for sea in the ensuing
summer.—Saunders' News Letter.
STEAM N AVIG A TION.—The most remarkable case of expe-
dition in Steam Navigation occurred this week in'the transport-
ing live stock from this port. The Dublin company's steamer,
Queen Victoria, left the quay on Tusday last at noon, with a
strong east wind blowing against her, and which had deterred
the steam vessels from other ports from putting to sea. The
Queep Victoria, notwithstanding the severity of the gale, saved
her tide into dock in Liverpool the same night. landed her
cargo' of cattle, &c., in time for the first Liverpool train, and
on the following day (Wednesday,) they were exhibited and
sold in Manchester market, no doubt, at a good price, from the
scarcity of cattle occasioned by the long protracted severe
weather. The Queen Victoria haVing discharged her cargo.
again loaded and arrived in Dublin heavily laden; the'whole
having occupied but 37 hours from leaving the North Wa"
Dublin; until lter return.--Satinders' News Letter.

Coactrocioas,'Sr.east-sit re—We had an opportunity on
Tuesday of inspecting this magnificent steam-vessel, of which
we bad heard much from report, and we can assure our readers.
that we did so with a feeling of pride. We do not profess to he
very deeply versed in naval architecture; but the glance even
of an upractised eye could not fail to discover, that, both in
" build" and machinery, the Commodore stands many points
in advance even. of the best class of steam-ships that freypissot
our harbour. Her model is one of the finest we have ever
seen—she sits upon the water graceful as a swan, while her
whole appearance seems to indicate a strength of rib, security
enough, we should imagine, fof ,her safety in the most adverse
circumstances. The entire length of this vessel, from stem to
stern,.ts 190 feet-150 feet of which forms au unbroken prome-
nade on the quarter-deck, giving "ample room and verge
enough" even for the most inveterate pedestrian. This is ob-
tained by the quarto:-deck extending over the engine-room.
Every thing, fore and all, has a comfortable, and even elegant
appearance; and we were glad to observe that, in the former
respecOparticularly, the steerage passengers will net be forgot-
ten. The internal arrangements, however, are such as must
have struck every visitor with surprise : the grand saloon is
fitted up on a scale of grandeur approaching to gorgeousness;
yet everything is chaste, elegant, and appropriate. It is ip the
old English style, and exhibits such a variety of minute Orna-
ment that description must fail in its object. There are some
beautifully executed oak carvings. interspersed with finely gilded
mouldings, mirrors, and exquisitely finished paintings in pan-
nel, all so tastefully arranged as to fall upon the eye in the most
perfect harmony. The furniture is on a style of similar ele-
gance, and, indeed, everything seems to have been fitted up
exactly iu the way most conducive to the comfort of passengers.
Commodious sleeping berths, airy and comfortable, are ranged
on each side of the saloon, in recesses. The ladies' cabin is a
perfect bijou; it is large and spacious, and finished off in a way
truly superb. There is also a gentlemen's cabin, the appear-
ance of which is in perfect unison with the rest of the vessel.
Indeed, the whole internal arrangements are such as have never
yet, we believe, been equalled on the Clyde, a statement which,
we dare say, even the most ardent competitor will not attempt
to contradict. The Commodore was built by Mr. John Wood,
and the machinery by Mr. Robert Napier; the engine, which
is of 320 horse power, is of beautiful construction: This splendid
vessel is, we understand, the first of a train of vessels of a
similar kind intended for the Liverpool trade by the City of
Glasgow Steam Packet Company. She sailed on Tuesday, at
one o'clock, for Liverpool, having made one or two previous
trips down the river, in which her sailing powers were found to
be of the best description. Our best wishes go for her future
success, and an ample return to her public spirited proprietors.

NORTHERN HOSPITAL—We are glad to perceive that the
appeal made to the public in behalf of this excellent institution
has not been in vain. Several handsome donations have been
received, and many new subscribers have added their names to
the list. •
PRdJECTED SOUTHERN HOSPITAL—We are happy to learn
that the subscriptions for the proposed Southern Casualty Hos-
pital proceed most satisfactorily, the list already amounting to
upwards of fifteen pounds. We understand that the Mayor has
promised to preside at a public meeting, to be called in a few
days, in promotion of the objects of this charity.
INHUMAN CONDUCT,—We regret exceedingly to hear that
several instances of slaughtering sheep have occurred lately in
the neighbourhood of Liverpool. A ewe, in lamb, was found
on Monday last, with her throat cut, in a field belonging to Mr.
Wilson, in Sinithdown-lane. We believe that a clue to the
perpetrator has been discovered, and that the brutal miscreant
is likely to be exposed. We trust he will meet with the punish-
Merit he so justly merits.
THE POLICE COURT.—A correspondent inquires the reason
why parties are frequently kept dancing attendance at the
Police-office for hours of their valuable time, whilst their cases
cannot be proceeded with fur want of the attendance of a second
magistrate. Our correspondent states, that the business of the
Police-court (which was crowded with people) was, on Satur-
day, delayed for two hours in the middle of the day from this
cause. We agree with him, that the reformed magisterial
system itself sadly wants a reform in this particular.
MR. COLLIER'S LECTURES.—We perceive by the Stafford-
shire papers that this gentlemen has been lecturing with much
success in Newcastle and the Staffordshire Potteries on the
education of the blind, and of the deaf and dumb. His auditors,
notwithstanding the pressurceof the times in that district, have
been numerous and highly respectable. A warm vote of thanks
was, on several occasions, unanimously tendered to him for
the gratification he afforded, and the able and luminous manner
in which he brought the subject before them. One gratifying
result of Mr. Collier's benevolent exertions is expected to be
the establishment of a Staffordshire institution for the education
of these two interesting classes of our fellow-beings, whose
cause he so warmly advocates.
FORGED NOTES.—A vast number of £5, £lO, and £2O forged
notes are at present in circulation, both in the metropolis and
throughout the country. The forgeries are well executed, and
have deceived many.
SWINDLING SHOPKEEPERS. An extraordinary case of
swindling of a number of shopkeepers of this town of quantities
of goods came on on Friday at the Police-office. The plan
resorted to was to order goods to be sent to a private residence,
where they were taken in, and neither goods nor money could
be afterwards obtained. It is supposed that the articles thus
procured were sent to Leeds to be disposed of. A great number
of shopkeepers have been swindled in this way out of various
small amounts, from £1 to £5. The prisoner, a young, well-
dressed female, one of the parties, was acquitted on the ground
that the goods were sent on credit, and that, therefore, the case
was but one of debt. We should have been glad to have pub-
lished the whole particulars, to have put shopkeepers on their
guard; but the possibility of an action fur libel, as the libel
law now.stands, prevents us so doing.
is CANAL NAVIGATION.—We understand that a patent has been
taken out by a Lancashire gentleman, fee a mode of propelling
steam-boats along canals at a rapid rate, without producing any
ripple of current. In the experiments tried before the patent
was applied for, a vessel was propelled at the rate of ten miles
an hour without producing any commotion in the water likely
to cause the slightest inconvenience. Should this patent answer
the expectations formed of it, the discovery will add considerably
to the value of canal property.
MANCHESTER OPERATIVE -CONSERVATIVE ASSOCIATION.—
The members of this excellent and rapidly increasing society
have determined to celebrate its establishment by a pailic.dio-
ner.•on the Wednesday in Easter Week. Sir Francis Burdett
has been written to, and has accepted the invitation of the com-
mittee. It is alio expected that Lord Francis Egerton, Mr.
Wilbraham, and other distinguished supporters of the cause,
will honour this meeting with their presence.—Manchester Cow.
tier.
THE CHARITABLE SOCIETY.—This excellent institution
which has now been in operation fur a considerable period,
having for its object the relief both of the temporal and spiri-
tual wants of the poor, has, we regret to learn, been so im-
poverished by the present season of extreme severity, that un-
less its resources be increased, its utility for a time at least,
must cease. We are confident that we need ouly state this to
the public to have the remedy supplied. The society, by means
of its visiters, ascertains the state and condition of the poor in
the various districts of the town; and where want is found to
dwell, aid is furnished. Food, clothing, blankets, Bibles,
Pray er-books, tracts, &c. are supplied as the visiters judgments
dictate, and the funds of the society. wilt afford; thus con-
ducing to alleviate the bodily necessities, as well as to the in-
creased morality and good conduct of the poor. The great
calls would have been made on the society during the present
winter of unexampled severity and distress, nave exhausted
thse funds which oueht to have supplied, it until July next.
We hope our townsmen will come forward in aid of so truly
charitable an object, and enable the society to resume its use-
fulness. We shall be glad to receive subscriptions at our
office, and forward them to the treasurer.
BOROUGH COURT OF REQUESTS.—We have received a letter
from Dr. John Quaile, cemplaining of the judgments delivered
at the Borough Court of Requests This is a subject to which
our attention has .frequently been called, and we have more than
once determined upon making such animadversions as the cafes
detailed seemed to demand. On more mature consideration,
however, it seemed but fair that we should have something
stronger than mere ex-parte evidence of litigants tot depend
upon. Interests are affected, on all sides, with which he con-
ductor of a public journal should be careful how he lightly
tampers. It would be unjust, unless the grounds were broad

these considerations have made us pause. It is evident that the
popularity and utility of this local court depend on the justice
and wisdom of its decisions. We will not deny that we have
heard cases detailed in which the judgment was most startling,
nay, absurd; yet, we are not satisfied with statements front
the parties in the suit, however respectable those parties may
be. Who ever heard of a person being satisfied at the result of
an action decided against him? A very little soreness upon
prejudice. Dr. Quaile

for
constant medical attendance during three months. The Pole
had paid one guinea, which he had deemed sufficient. The at-
tendance, it seems, was acknowledged before the commissioner,
the debt was proved by confession of the defendant in a letter,
and the latter expressed Re willingness to pay it, if so adjudged.
It came out, that the plaintiff and defendant had been com-
panions in arms during the late Polish campaign ; and this,
says Dr. Quaile, " drew from the commissioner a pathetic con-
sideration for the defendant, and the case was dismissed." We
have heard of cases still more singular. The only mode
whereby we can come at the merits of the case is to send a re-
porter to the court. He will view the cases with an impartial
eve, and record their bearings, with the decisions of the com-
missioner. Thus will they be held up to public opinion ; and
such comments as may be deemed proper will not be withheld.

CORPORATE LIBERALITY.—There is mayor, or justice, or
some such thing—a sort of fungus produced by the corporation
hill—in the borough of Wigan, who reigns supreme in the po-
lice court of that town, and who, inflated by the magnificence
of his elevated station in society, very naturally enough for a
radical, treats with marked 'contumely some newspaper re-
porters who approach his court. They do strange things in
Wigan; but this mayor, or justice, or whatever he may be,
fancies he has a right to exclude from his cowl all reporters
whir do not choose to report most fully every case that occurs
there—every wise saw, or modern instance, uttered by his wor-
ship—everything that is about stealing twist, furze, -.dripping,
cinders, or candle ends. The unfortunate reporter who dares
to disobey, is held to be contumacious, and 'removed from court
vi et arm is. Such we are assured, is one of the practical results
of municipal reform in Wigan.-=Manchester Cornier.
THE YORKSHIRE METHOD OF CURING BACON.—The pigs
are (as they call it) hungered 24 and sometimes 26 hours, be-
fore they are killed, then hung 24 hours in a cool place. They
are cut up and conveyed to leaden bowls, and having with the
band wiped salt over the swarth (skin), care is taken to stop
the salt and saltpetre into the shank ends, in order that it may
effectually reach the bone. The flesh side is then turned up-
permost, covered with salt, and sprinkled with saltpetre, For
a twenty stone pig the proportions are one stone of the former
and one pound of the latter. After lying about a week the
bacon is all removed—that which has been uppermost is put
lowest, and more salt is added to those parts front whith it may
have disappeared. In three or four weeks it is fit to hang up
to dry, and it has never, in a single instance, been known to
fail. Mind the following obvious ruleS:-1. The pig must fast,
this relieves the vessels that, in a loaded state are apt to jsutrify.
2. The killing must be quick and Without irritation. 3.
' Thoroughly cooled befofe salting. 4. Not rubbed, as this only
excites the putrefaction process, and you can never rub salt
' through the skin. 5. Placed in lead or stone. if at hand. 6.
Stop the salt well into the shank ends, and Move it and add
salt, as before directed, frequently.

CORRESPONDENCE,-

TRADES' UNIONS.

TO THE EDITOR OF THE LIVERPOOL STANDARD._

S I R, --11 he collision that has taken place between Mr. O'Con-
nell and iee operatives of Dublin is likely to lea.t to interesting
results. The government having taken op the subject, with a
determination fully to investigate the existence, coustitution,
and extent of all combinations, whether amongst the manufac-
turers and employers, or those amongst their workmen. A
committee is appointed for the purpose, composed of persons
who, no doubt, represent t h. diversified views of the yarties-most
deeply interested in this important question ; but I am at a
loss to account fur the apathy that appears to exist amongst
that class of the community, who a few years ago appeared to
groan under the oppression of the Misguided operatives of this
town, who suffered so much from the tyranny and dictation of
the combined efforts of the trades' unions, and the latter are first
in the field, and alive to the subject, and are preparing to give
such information to the committee as may lead to such con-
clusions as rc ay be beneficial to themselves (and so far they are
to be commended); but where are the numerous employers of
Liverpool, have they nothing to say upon the subject? Are they
not preparing to put the committee in possession of such infor-
mation as may lead them to recommend such measures as may
conduce to their future interests, and to .pi event the recurrence
of those grievances to which for years they have been subjected.
There is now a constitutional medium through which they
can be heard, which if neglected, may not soon again return.
Let them then be up and doing, and not let the present oppor-
tunity slip without coming forward and assisting this committee
in their investigation, for most assuredly, if the now remain
silent, they may afterwards for ever hold their peace.

THE NEW IMPROVEMENT COMMITTEE.

TO THE EDITOR OF THE LIVERPOOL STANDARD.

will say this for the old corporation, that when they
saw that there was an opening for improvement in any part of
Liverpool they immediately, and without reference to expense,
set about the matter . with a hearty. good will, knowing that
although they might get into debt they would in the end be
amply repaid by the additional value that the corporation pro-
perty would acquire. Look at the present Improvement Com-
mittee. What have they done ? Why, nothing. What might
they not do ? A vast deal. I will point out one improvement
they might make that would win them '• golden opinions." It
is the erection of a capacious market-place in James-street, for
the benefit of the shipping and• the Cheshire people, who now
complain, and not without cause, of having to pay a heavy
porterage from the docks and water side to the present markets,
besides the loss of time which must accrue in the transit to and
fro. The corporation have now an opportunity of erecting a
fine market, in a most desirable locality, where stands an
unsightly brick wall, with the still more unsightly view
of the rear of a row of rumbling old houses; The land is all in
their own hands, and at the present time they might easily grant
a boon, long ago promised by the old corporation, to the two
abovenamed interests.—Yours, &c., A WHIG.

DESECRATION OF THE SABBATH.

TO THE EDITOR OF THE LIVERPOOL STANDARD.

Sin,—l think it ought to he generally known that one of
your " brethren of the trade" who publishes on a Mouday
morning, employs his men in the printing of his paper on the
Sunday.
I know that among his readers, there are many who, desiring
not only to keep that (lay holy themselves, but also to discourage
any breach of it among all on ,whom they can have any influ-
ence, would he shocked to hear that they are encouraging so
public and indecent a violation of it, by supporting the paper
alluded to.
I do not repeat this from mere hearsay ; but to satisfy myself,
have applied to the editor, who is quite unable to deny the fact.
I therefore desire any one who may question the correctness of
my information, to make inquiry for himself, and he will soon be
convinced of its truth.
I have no other motive in thus making this public, than a
desire to see' every such desecration of that holy day, as speedily
as possible put down. Yours, &c.,
" CASTIGATOR."
