STRANGE PROCEEDING OF THE PROMOTERS
OF THE BIRKENHEAD DOCK BILL.

Before these remarks come before the majority of our
readers, the fate of the above bill, of which the third
reading was last night to bemored in the House of Lords,
may possibly be decided. What may be that fate it is
therefore scarcely worth while now to speculate upon.
From our present information, however, so strong is the
feeling w hich has been excited in the minds of certain
members of the house, by a proceeding of which we
give the particulars below, that we understand a motion
would be made last night for the re-committal of the
bill, if not for its being thrown over for the present
session.

It is well known that, by the enclosure of Wallasey
Pool, a space containing 160 acres of safe anchorage and
beaching ground, which they have enjoyed from time im-
memorial, will be lost to the coasting trade and shipowners
of the Mersey ; and it naturally became an object with
those parties to take care that something like an equiva-
lent should be provided for them. Accordingly, upon the
introduction of the bill in the House of Commons, a pe-
tition against it (the ordinary mode of proceeding, in such
cases) was presented by the Shipowners' Association ;
upon which an arrangement, was effected between the pro-
moters and the petitioners, which will be best understood
by giving here verbatim the original clause affecting their
interests and the amended clause agreed to be substituted.
The clause (No. 128) in the original print of the bill in
the Commops was as follows :
"Provided also, and be it enacted, That the rates hereinbefore
mentioned shall not he charged n respect of any vessel of less than
one hundred tons register, entering the said intended basin near
Woodside Ferry from any port or place within the United Kingdom,
and not remaining there fur a longer period than THREE TIDES."
The same clause, as altered by the agreement entered
into, was as follows, the alterations being shown by
Italics :
" Provided also, and be it enacted, That the rates hereinbefore
mentioned shall not be charged in respect of any vessel of less than
one hundred tons register, entering the said intended basin near
Woodside Ferry, from any port or place within the United King-
dom, and not remaining there for a longer period than seven days ;
nor shall any rate be charged for a longer period, if such vessel
shall be inward or outward bound, and remain within the last-
mentioned basin for shelter only, and not for loading or unload-
ing."

-Here, then, were two distinct boons gained ; first, the
substitution of seven days for the very inefficient period
of " three tides," as that during which vessels might lie
in the basin free of dues ; and secondly, the provision that
vessels remaining beyond the seven days, for shelter only,
should remain free of dues. And on the following agree-
ments being endorsed on the foot of the bill, viz.,—
" On behalf of the Shipowners' Association, I approve of the al-
terations in this Bill, clauses 127, 128, 143, 145, 146,150, and 151.
"JOHN NORTH,
" Secretary of the Shipowners' Association."
" On behalf of the promoters of this Bill, I agree to the above al-
terations being inserted in the Bill, as Parliament may direct.

" Josi; PII AIALLAnr, 5 Mitrch, 1844."
the petition of the Shipowners' Association was withdrawn,
in the full confidence that the clause agreed upon would
be faithfully inserted in the bill.
The_bill went into the Commons ; not, however, with
theclause inserted in it which hadbeen agreedupon with Mr.
North, but with a totally different clause, suggested an
ignorance of any previous agreement having been entered
into) by the Lords of the Admiralty. By this clause the
period for vessels to remain in the basin, free of dues—the
unprompted suggestion, by the bye, of their lordships,
who saw the insufficiency of the period of three tides first
proposed—such period was extended to six tides, with a
provision to meet the emergency of gales of wind or A-
verse winds; and the House of Commons extended that
period to eight tides, in which shape it passed their House
and was taken up to the Lords.
When in that house Mr. Mallaby stated, in explana-
tion, that the admiralty bad " insisted" upon the inser-
tion of the clause as inserted in the bill (the eight tides
clause) "instead of the one which was -arranoed ; and
yet, in reply to a noble lord, he confesses,--" I believe
they were not made acquainted with the previous arrange-
ment" with the shipowners!
In corroboration of Mr. Mall•ihy's refutation of him-
self, with respect to this " insisting" of the Lords of the
Admiralty, a letter from the secretary states, under date
of the llth instant, " that their lordships made no specifie
objection to the coasters remaining seven days in the
basin." Mr. Mallaby admitted further in the house
that no explanation, as to the arrangement come to, was
offered to the House of Commons.

The cross-examination of this gentlemen by Mr. Tal-
bot, on the 10th instant, and the evidence of Mr. John
North, in reply, we give in full:—
" Cross-examined by Mr. TALBOT.—Did you ever commnnicate
to the Shipowners' Association, or to Mr. North, as acting for
them, what the Admiralty insisted upon ?
Mr. MA LLABY.—No ; there was no time for the purpose.
Mr.• TA LBOT.—Do you mean to say that there has been no time
since the Bill passedthe House of Commons ?

Mr. MALLA BY.—No ; I do not mean to say that; I am certain
that Mr. North, who stands there, was familiar with all the proceed.
ings that were going on.
COB' MITTE E.—Was he present ?
Mr. MAL LABY.—No, I will not say that he was present.
Mr. TALBOT.—Have you any means of stating to the committee
that Mr. North was acquainted un'th the circumstances of what
passed?
Mr. MALLABY.—No.
Mr. TA uno'r.—Yon never did communicate ' with him ?
Mr. MALLABY.—No.
Mr. TALBOT.—Do you still say that Mr. North was familiar with
all the proceedings?
Mr. MALLABY.--It is my conviction, because several of the mem-
bers of the Doelc Committee of Liverpool, who are opposing the Bill,
were members of the Ship Owners' Association.
Mr. TALBOT.—Your conviction is, that Mr. North was aware of
it, at what time ?
Mr. MALT Any.—l cannot say.
Mr. TALBOT.—Not before the clause was discussed ill the Com-
mittee of the House of Commons?

Mr. MALLAnY.—No.
TALBOT.--You placed before your Counsel the Bill, as set
tied with the Shipowners' Association ?
Mr. MALLAnv.—I did.
Mr. TALBOT.—When was that?
Mr. MALLABY.—In the course of the discussion.
Mr. TALEor.—When ?
Mr. MALLABY.—In the Committee of the House of Commons.
Mr. TALBOT.—Before the clause was discussed?
Mr. MA LLA BY.—Yes, before the clauses generally were discussed."
Compare with the above the straightforward explana-
tion of Mr. North :
"Mr. TA LBOT.—At what time did you first become acquainted
with the fact that the clause introduced into the Bill speaks of
eight tides and not of seven days?
Mr. NORTH.—Upon Saturday last.
Mr. TALBOT.—There is no mistake about that?
Mr. NORTH.—Not the smallest. I can explain it if you wish.
Mr. Clay, who is concerned for the Coasting Trade, applied to me,
as I had been concerned for the Association, for some assistance,
which I willingly gave him. In the course of our conversation I
told him incidentally, that the coasters were to have seven days' ex-
emption from dock rates in the Woodside Coasting Dock. On Satur-
day last, Mr. Clay, I believe, for the first time, had in his hand the
Act as it is now before your Lordships' House, and, bearing in mind
his conversation with me, his attention was attracted to the clause
now in question, which only gives eight tides. He came immediately
to me to ask for an explanation of it. I said it was impossible. I
could not believe the fact till he showed it me in print. I was quite
sure I could produce the evidence of the agreement which had been
made, and I opened the box in which the papers of the Shipowners'
Association were kept, and produced the Bill.
Mr. TALBOT.—That was the first intimation you had of the
change?

NORTH.—YES.
Mr. TALBOT.—Had you ever seen the Bill before then ?
Mr. NORTII.—No, I may have seen the Bill, but I do not think
that I ever opened it.
By a LORD.—Had the Bill been generally published in Liverpool
for the last few weeks ? , .
Mr. NORTH.—I can hardly say whether it has or not, perhaps the
Town Council and other official bodies at all connected with it mieht
have had it before them, but it certainly never came into my .banils.
Mr. TALBOT.—It was never before the Association?

Mr. NoRTIT.—No."
The intelligent reader will form his own judgment with
respect to this evidence ; and, perhaps, may have an
opinion, too, of the truthfulness of statement and pro-
fession, by which other portions of the bill have been
supported before the legislature and the public.

THE QUEEN DOWAGER.—Her Majesty Queen Ade-
laide will return to England from the Continent on the
23d instant.
BOLTON, SUNDAY MORNlNG.—Considerable excite-
ment prevails in this town in consequence of a threatened
turn-out of the whole of the operative cotton spinners in
the Bolton district. I stated in the Herald three weeks
ago that the spinners of Bolton had given notice to their
employers that they would leave work at the end of a
month unless their wages were advanced 10 per cent.
The term of notice expired yesterday and to-day, and as
no satisfactory arrangement had been come to most of the
operatives left work at the time fixed. The consequence
is that many of the mills are now stopped for want of
hands, whilst some of the masters have readily complied
with the demand of their workpeople, and have agreed to
give the advance required. Most of these masters hale
made a condition that, unless the advance be made general,
they will come down to the price paid by their neighbours.
At present everything is in a state of the greatest uncer-
tainty. Many people think that on Monday morning the
masters generally will give the advanced price, whilst
others say, it is very probable that a compromise will be
come to, the masters agreeing to pay five per cent. advance
on the present rate of wages. There are others, however,
who declare their determination not to give any advance
whatever, and in this state things remain at present.
The operatives, I understand, have called an extraordi-
nary meeting of delegates from all the mills in Lan-
cashire, to be held in Manchester, where it is said some
defit.itive course will be adopted, not on y as regards
Bolton, but other towns in the manufacturing districts.

THREATENED SPLIT IN THE CHURCH OF
ROME.

The recently published number of the Quarterly Re-
view contains an article, the production evidently of either
a Romish priest or one intimately acquainted with the
workings of the Romish system, which contains revela-
tions so important that we make no apology for placing
its substance before our readers. For some time a con,.
troversy has been going on between the Roman Govern.
ment and the Church of Rome in the kingdom of
Bavaria, upon t the subject of some alteration de-
manded by the latter in the practices and regulation of
the church. The rigorous censorship of the press how-
ever, which is exercised in most Catholic countries by
ecclesiastics, together with the care taken by Rome to
preserve secret whatever passes between the pontificate
and the clergy, has hitherto effectually prevented the de-
tails of this dispute from coming to the ears of the laity
or transpiring at all beyond the limits of the church itself.
It has not moreover, up to this period, been pressed to
extremity by those who feel themselves aggrieved, from a
fear of creating schism and rupture of the establishment.
A change, however, has at length been wrought in this
latter point; and fully recognizing all the dangers and
difficulties attendant upon separation from Rome, the
complainants have now resolved to risk any evils which
might result from such separation rather than continue
to submit to the continuance of the practices against
which they protest.
The four points upon which they have been insisting
are, first, that the public worship should be performed in
all countries in the vernacular tongue ; secondly, that the
cup should be given as well as the bread in the sacrament
to the laity; thirdly, that the frequenting of the confes-
sional should not be compulsory ; fourthly. that the vows
of celibacy shall not be obligatory on the clergy.
With regard to the first of these points they complain
that the " unchangeable" character of the laws of the
church has been pushed so far that it becomes a fraud,
the priests havidg multiplied the unchangeable laws in
order to obtain money for dispensations to break them.
They complain, too, that this particular law against ver-
nacular prayers has been relaxed elsewhere—but not for
them. In France a prayer-book is used which has the
Latin and the French trahslation in parallel columns; but
such a work is prohibited in Italy, Spain, Portugal, and
all other countries where the power of the church is abso-
lute. In the north of Germany and the Tyrol they use a
German mass book; but it is rarely to be met with in
Austria, Bohemia, and Syria. It is urged too that, in
country districts and even in some towns, the priests
themselves know little more of Latin than the people;.
and hence the importance of the vernacular being univer-
sally permitted to be used.
On the second point —the refusal of the cup to the
laity—it is urged as opposed to scripture that, of the two
elements composing the sacrament, one should ba refused
of which it is specially said 9 dri..k ye all of it."
The objections to the third practice—the compulsory
attendance upon the confessional—we shall quote from the
article itself:—

" With the third point commences our difficulty, and one be-
fore which we confess ourselves compelled to yield : we are
precluded from the possibility of proving our position, and we
must ,tate at once our conclusion, which is this—that if it h d
been the intention of any body of men to corrupt the morals of
the human race, to habituate children of both sexes to im-
purity. filth, and profligacy, it would have been impossible to
have devised a scheme more complete), adapted to produce
that effect than the practice of the confessional, as is now , ar-
ried on in the church of Rome. The common sense of mankind,
the ordinary feelings of morality, would have made it impossible
to carry into practice such a project, unless it had assumed the
mask of religious duty to God ; and when the sense of morality
is so far deadened, as that any persons should suppose that
burning alive can be well pleasing to God, it is not difficult for
such to imagine that obscenity in thought nd language should
be so likewise. Whilst it is obvious that it is imp ssible here to
prove our assertion, we will at least furnish the means by which
any one who is so inclined may satisfy himself; we recommend
such an one to read the ordinary English Roman Catholic
prayer book, called ' The Garden of the Soul,' at the 1 arts which
relate to self-examination in ()icier to confession : next, the
books which are written to instruct the priests to extort from
reluctant females in the confessional things which no pure-
minded woman has ever imagined; e. g La Methode pour
la direction des ames dans le tribunal de la Penitence, et pour
le gonvernment des Paroisscs, Paris, 1834;' II Confessore di-
retto per le confessioni della gente di campagna, Polo:ma,
1834 ;" Le Rituel de Toulon ;' or any similar books which
make in all countries the stock in trade of a priest, and some
or other of which are to be found in all their houses ; and then
let them read any work of Theologia Moralis on the confessional
and the seventh commandment.
" This subject in Protestant countries is merely either a
matter of speculation and theory, or a handle for controver-
sialists wherewith to attack papists—a task for which, it must
be confessed, the heroes of ' discussion meetings' are singularly
ill qualified. Ent with the honest ecclesiastics of Germany,
the Tyrol, Switzerland, Poland, Bohemia, and Hungary,
these things are no speculations and theories, but sad and
painful realities. They know that corruption of the youthful
mind is the natural and almost invariable result; and some ate
determined that the fruits of this system shall not be hid in a
corner any more ; but, let the consequences be what they may,
the secret recesses of infamy shall he exposed, and the system
be put an end to.
" It is impossible in the very nature of thine s that a young
female, or almost any female, can have such a burden on her
conscience as can make her desire often to resort to special and
private confession to a priest; and certainly it ought not to be
toleiated that she should have indecent thoughts suggested to
her, even at the early age of seven years old ; for at this period
do they begin to insinuate their filth in the convents in which
girls are commonly educated. The heads of the church them-
selves admit the liability of abase through the confessional, and
frequent exhortations are published desiring all women who
have improper solicitations made to them there to denounce the
confessor ; but a moment's consideration will show the inutility
of this exhortation ; and cue instance which we will give must
suffice for all. An Italian gentleman of our acquaintance re-
moved with his family from the place of his nativity to a town
in another state ; soon after their arrival the wife went to the
confessional in the palsh church, where improper proposals
were made to her ' • she ran home and acquainted her husband:
he made a formal complaint to the proper autho ities in her
name : a day was appointed for tile examination cf the charge :
and when the time arrived the lady naturally declined to appear.
It is obvious that jest in proportion as the person offended is de-
licate, and the offence gross, there will be the greater difficulty
of inducing the complainant to come forward. Scarcely any
woman could be found who would go into the presence of se-
veral strange men and repeat the expressions by which her
ears had been insulted. The result, however, was, that the
priest hid h s license for hearing confessions taken from !lima;
and neither husband or wife have ever gone to the confc,s,stiohneml
since that period. The authorities at Rome do all that
lies to repress these disorders: the licenses for

the confessions of those who for various reasons do not choose-
to confess to the secular priest; whilst the lay brother, with his
donkey and hampers, goes ound from house to house to collect
the contributions of the faithful for the benefit of the community.
The system cannot be improved—delendu est.

the subject. The 'immediate object, however, of bringing for-
ward this point at the present time is not so much witrefe-
renee to its effect upon the laity as to its effect upon the priests
themselves • and whoever int nds to take the trouble of con-
sulting the works to which allusion has been made, should
member that these books are the private and secret studies of
those who from their earliest years have taken vows of celibacy
upon them ; who live alone, shut up in their own solitary cham-
ber, apart from all the world, for many hours every day. Such
persons require a peculiar absence from all demoralizing words
and thoughts; it ought to be their unremitting labour to banish
every imagination, even the most transient, upon details of
vice; whereas, to sit alone and study all the forms and varia-
tions of impurity upon which Spanish and French casuists have
written, analysing and classifying every variety of crime which
the most brutal and sensual of mankind have ever perpetrated,
as in the works of Sanchez, Escobar, Sa, Facundez, Gobat,
&c., &c., is the sure and certain method to make the vows a
nullity."

The writer goes on to remark upon the practice, in
France and elsewhere, arising out of the immorality thus
engendered amongst the priesthood, of holding periodical
visitations for the investigaton of charges lodged and
tie infliction of punishment. In the dioceses of the North
of Germany, where a bishop's court sits twice a week, he
says,

" So great and so incessant are the horrors brought to light, that
the excellent prelate who presides over one see more immediately
under our eye, passes the whole night afterwards in fasting and
tears of penitence for the things whichhave come before him. The
extent of immorality is so great that it is considered a good sign of
a priest if lie is known to keep a mistress without causing any
public scandal, and no notice is taken of him. If, however, she
ethfrplyotnsplaces, because
lies at the parsonage, or if they quarrel so that a disturbance is
produced in the village, then he is removed to another parish; if
the same thing occurs a second time the same treatment is pursued;
if it is repeated a third time, he is degraded, all employment and
means of livelihood are taken from him; and many such are to he
seen throughout Germany breaking stones upon the road, or serving
as privates in the army. These, however, are not the immoralities

the eye of God. In Italy, such offences, when not screened by some
powerful patron, are pumShed by incarceration in a convent, with
starving and repeated flagellation, which frequently terminate in
death. But in Germany no such power exists ; more liberal, but
less cruel ; more tolerant both of good and evil. The example of
the court in the neighbourhood of the place to which we are now re-
ferring, tended not many years ago to sanction some of the worst of
the crimes above alluded to ; and though it isnow mended, the effects
of past days are not worn out."
With respect to the fourth point, the CelibaCy of the
clergy, the Reviewer states that—.
4, It is a remarkable feature in the case that all the profligate clergy
are strongly in favour of the continuance of the law of celibacy, whilst
all the moral clergy are for abolishing it. The Protestants in these
dioceses generally say, that this is in order that they max continue
their flagitious courses in a way'which it would be more difficult to
do if they were married, but this is not the real ground of their re-
sistance.
They resist it because they know that it is popular at
head quarters to resist it; and they take the side of the authorities
at Rome in order to make friends to themselves of the Mammon of
unrighteousness, that they may be in their turn befriended."
Admirable as are those grounds on which to plant
opposition to the slavery of the Papacy, it rejoices us
much to remark a notice or two in the Review, indicating
that those who are thus raising themselves against these
evils are also departing from at least one of the funda-
mental heresies of the Papacy. The faCt to which we
allude is thus referred to :

. ,
"Those in favour of it are now kenerally styled Disciples of
Sailer;' and the Ring of Bavaria, it is obvious; has no objection to
share the designation. But they have received another title from the
many. bystanders who sympathise little either with them or their an-
tagonists. They are called Jesus worshiPPers;' the others Mary
worshippers' (Mariadinsten); and these sobriquets clearly indicate
another great practical abuse Of the Papacy, as to which the two par-
ties have already come into -open collision. We say practical—for
however clearly educated Romanists inay see the d'emterkation be-
tween douleia and latreia —however sincerely they may protest against
injustice when charged with giving to a dead woman the honour and,
worship due only to God—the fact is entirely undeniable that in
Roman Catholic countries thousands and tens of thousands live and
die in habitual reliance on the intercession and mediation, not of the
Saviour, but of the Virgin, nd other saints departed."

We close our present notice of the subject with the fol-
lowing remarks, which bear more immediately upon the
working of Popery amongst ourselves. At p. 165 it is
said,—

Hence the O'Connellite faction in Rome, which has always been
opposed by Father Routham, the General ofJesuits, as being against
all government alike in Church and State, whilst assnming the mask
of attacking only the supremacy of an heretical church, has gained
much support. That I i'Connellite faction, we grieve to say, has been
taken up by all the English Roman Catholics resident in Home: and
the admirers of Larneaunais are talking more composedly, and wits
less alarm, of the possibility of their throwing off all connection with
governments everywhere, and placing themselves at the head of the
revolutionists throughout Europe. Some such desperate plunge
seems, indeed, the natural death of a system so mighty, and with so
much vitality, as the Papal system still possesses; it cannot die the
way of all flesh, and expire like a candle burnt down into the socket,
with a bright, perhaps, but momentary glare ; it must die in a con-
vulsion, and in such a convulsion as will shake all Europe to its
very foundation."
