PRIEST BROWN AND THE
REFORMATION SOCIETY AT BIR-
KENHEAD.

WE have been requested to insert the following letter,
a copy of which has been addressed to the Rev. Mr.
BROWN, Roman Catholic Priest of Birkenhead, and to
which no reply has as yet been returned :-
18, Claughton•terrace, Claughton-road. Jan. 12, 1854.
REV. Sia,—Circumstances have occurred which compel
me, as a matter of duty, to address you. in your capacqy as a
spiritual adviser and director of a portion of the inhabitants
of Birkenhead. I beg to do so respectfully, and in as few
words as the nature of those circumstances will admit. In
the fulfilment of my duties as a special missionary in con-
nexion with the Protestant Reformation Society, I have found
that you have used the most unworthy means in attempting
to entrap and pervert the female children of Protestant
parents. Ido not conceive it honest or just to present
.any
member of the Roman Catholic Church to be received
into the Church of which I am a member, without
first pointing out to them the soul-destroying doctrines of
your system, and being fully persuaded that they are
genuine converts, able to point out the fundamental errors
of Rornanism, by undeniable proofs, drawn from the word
of God ; thus I am enabled, if you think proper, to offer
you an opportunity of testing the sincerity of those who
have publicly recanted the errors of your church, through
my instrumentality, blessed by Divine agency, and at the
same time to prove you guilty of the following charges:—
First, A young/male adult being induced by associations and
acquaintances to attend your chapel, you privately baptized
her, and received her into the communion of your system,
without pointing out one single error in the church in which
she was brought up, and without her knowing either the doc-
trines or creed of the church she was joining. Secondly, You
have in the confessional asked her questions of so indecent
a character that she would be ashamed to utter them to
either her father or mother. Thirdly, You have held out in-
ducements, such as the offer of getting her a situation, and
sending for her to clean the chapel ; both of which, to her
credit, she paid no attention to.
Rev. Sir, I shall be glad to meet you in the presence of
your own clergy, and mine, for the purpose of inquiring into
the above. Waiting an immediate answer,
I remain, your obedient servant, for Christ's sake
Rev. Mr. Brown. CHARLES P. M'CARTHY.

THE ANNUAL AINTREE CHARITY BALL will be held in
the Grand Stand, Aintree, early next month, under the
