"E DESIGN of GOD TRACED .
_th,c GREAT
4XIBITINO, and OUR DU as CIIRISTIANS IN
''RNCE TO IT.
By the Rev. J . MILNER, M.A.,
•,,Londn„, Ltloptitlroln College, Oxford.
Tito HATCHARD, Piccadilly. Liverpool :
AUUHTON, Church-street; ARTHUR NEW-

WHEN the Jesuits went to Paraguay, they found
the Indians not at all disposed to listen to the
refinements of Loyola, or the logic of Liguori ; so
they got a few barrel-organs, and told the naked
audience that they had a deity in a box. These
truly "Italian organ-boys" succeeded in " convert-
ing" large numbers, and the Paraguay Indians were
accordingly entitled to the name of belonging to a
Christian Church. As to Christian precepts, how-
ever, they spewed their feeling by the continuance
of some of the most barbarous customs that among
savages mark the primeval fall of man.
Are the gangs of Irish Papists—the refugees
from a wasting famine—the very offal of a nation
almost depopulate—the persons who attempted to
make a wholesale murder in the streets of this
town—one whit more civilised or Christian than
the dusky dupes of Popery in Paraguay ? Among
no other people could there be found (we will not
say the bloodthirsty ingratitude, for gratitude and
the Celt are as far divorced as sincerity and the
Kaffir) the same vindictive and flagrant folly that
was on Monday displayed by a comparative hand-
ful of the lowest inhabitants of a great town, in
rising against law and authority to gratify the
malice of a moment, with the certainty of instant
defeat and imminent punishment ? Our law will
restrain an individual who spews lunacy so patent
as to endanger his life, liberty, and estate; and this
is called, properly, prudent precaution ; but it will
give full license to whole communities, like the
Popish rioters of Monday, to endanger their own
and others' lives and liberties (of estates we say
nothing), and this—save the mark—is " civil and
religious liberty !" The civility is barbarism—the
religion is profanity—and the liberty is despotism
of the darkest kind. In Paraguay the Popish In-
dians preserved their un-civilisation in a country
that had lapsed to barbarism, and only retained
the relics of the art and greatness of an age that
defies the antiquary; of which history has lost the
origin, and archaeology the time. In Liverpool the
Popish Irish display precisely the same conduct
and disposition in the streets of a town, where
realities leave in the shade the half-fabulous com-
merce of Carthage and of Tyre. Surely, if the
Papacy has told no other truth, it has not been
wrong in its assertion that it is " unchanged and
unchangeable." In the wilds of Siberia, among
the lowest of our race ; in the interior of China,
amongst a people the most peculiar in the world;
in the wastes of South America, among untutored
Indians; in the heart of Europe, in the very focus
of a Godless civilisation—Popery is still the system
that tyrannically subdues men's passions to, and
violently excites them for, " the Church." Mr.
Macaulay has told us in his Scotch-run-mad, that
Popery is advancing. A Popish system has been
advancing, because a Christian faith has been de-
caying. But that time is past ; and we have (let us
be thankful !) lived to see the time that we can be
Churchmen without being Papists, and hold free-
dom of conscience without being Socinians. One
thing we grant to Mr. Macaulay, viz, that if true
Popery be existing at the time, it will be unchange-
able and unchanged, when, to use his own words
(we beg our readers' pardon for the fustian), " a
traveller from New Zealand will take his stand on
a ruined arch of London bridge to sketch the ruins
of St. Paul's."

We are not sorry that the Irish Papists have dis-
played their true character in this affair. The
people of England, suffering under great and heavy
insult, assailed in due bounds, and with the decision
it deserved, the unchristian pomp of Popery, on the
sth of November last ; and who does not recollect
the whine of Wiseman ? He " appealed" to the
country, in what is questionless the most stupid
pamphlet since the time of John Dennis and John
Dunton, and told us that he was prepared for mar-
tyrdom if the little boys of London, who had
dressed the "'Guys," meant to do it. But the
English people assailed and injured no man. Can
" his Eminence" say as much for the Popish Celts
of Liverpool?
But we need trouble our readers with no more
remarks of ours. The occasion was but another
illustration of a spirit they have all remarked.
Popery may have been more harmless in the days
when the labourers were " bond-thralls," and the
barons could not write; but to permit the policy of
barbarians in a refined nation will hardly be hoped
for, even by the insane impudence of the Pro-
paganda.

THE LAW " REFORMERS" AND THE BAR.
IT has been often a subject of wonder how our
ancestors could possibly have got on without pass-
ing a heavy folio-full of " statutes" every session.
Any one who goes into a library, and looks at the
statutes at large, will see that the acts of a century
were at first infinitely less voluminous than the
acts of a session are now, and yet, strange as it
seems, some of the old statutes are the most useful
and constitutional we have ever had. It is, how-
ever, to use the late Lord Grey's unfortunate ex-
pression, " the spirit of the age" to alter every-
thing, and call it reform ; and some retired Judges.
too old for work, but unfortunately not for mis-
chief, have been of late years altering, not the prac-
tice of the Law (for that, indeed, required improve-
ment), but the very principles of the Laws of Eng-
land. They first gave us irresponsible county-
court judges, against whose eccentric decisions
there was no appeal. They then found it necessary
to control the "equitable" vagaries of these officials
by granting an appeal on matters of evidence, all
this time virtually excluding the Bar from practising
in the courts, by requiring counsel to be employed
by an attorney, himself entitled to be heard without
counsel. At length this has been remedied.
On Tuesday night it was enacted that bar-
risters-at-law may accept their briefs from the
lay client, and conduct his case without the inter-
vention of attorneys. The respectable solicitors
have at all times upheld the privileges of the Bar,
and to their honour be it spoken ; but a certain class
of attorneys sought nothing less than the total ex.

tinction of the higher branch of the profession.
They threatened the junior bar, that if they went to
the county courts they would deprive them of busi-
ness at sessions. In fact, they were spoiled by
success, and the result is, that Parliament, not
wishing the complete destruction of the ancient and
honourable profession of the bar, have enabled them
to dispense with the retainers of attorneys, and the
latter branch of the profession are likely to suffer
more than if they had agreed with the counsellors
quietly, for the lay public by no means dislike
the gentlemen in wigs.
Sir George Strickland, the weak and inconsis-
tent Radical member for Preston, who first voted
for and then against the Ecclesiastical Titles Bill
(we hope the " Proud Prestonians" will give him
his conge at the next election) has the rare distinc-
tion of having been the only man in the House to
insult, in a stupid speech, both the Bar and the
Attorneys. He made the original and ingenious
quotation, that " when rogues fall out honest men
come by their own"—" rogues" signifying gentle-
men, all of whom are quite as honest as Sir George
Strickland, of much better learning and manners,
and many of much higher descent ; and " honest
men" signifying such people as Sir George Strick-
land, who first voted one way and then another,
according as he defies or fears the Papists of Pres-
ton. The Bar and Solicitors of England can afford
to receive insolence from such political traders as
Sir George—

" The blood of Douglas can defend itself;"
but the animus and the vulgarity were not the less
apparent. One thing must be hoped, amid all the
confusion into which our laws have been thrown by
late changes—that there will still exist those who
will not fail to speak the truth as advocates in our
courts, without favour, affection, or fear; and this
could never have been accomplished without the
maintenance of an independent Bar.

THE ANTI-CHRISTIAN BILL DEFEATED.
AGAIN the House of Lords has declared its re-
solve to prevent the nation from openly denying
the Christian faith. The bill for the admission of
Jews to Parliament has been rejected by the Upper
House. The fact offers much matter for congra-
tulation, but the manner of it gives us something
to regret. It is sad to see an open denial of the
Great Founder of our religion advocated by several
men having had the immense means of learning
our nobles all enjoy ; but deplorable to find empty
latitudinarism and unprincipled sophistry in the
mouth of a Prelate of the Church.

the cause of religion by their noble courage, and it
is to be hoped that the second estate of the realm,
boasting the names it does, will not be contented
any longer to be the Register-office of the House
of Commons, to fiat its bills, and obey its orders.
The policy of twenty years past has menaced the
very existence of the House of Peers. Lord Grey's
ministry threatened to swamp them, as Sunderland,
in the time of James 11., threatened to " put coro-
nets upon a troop of horse." Free trade has
injured their means ; but the House of Lords is
still the favourite of all the loyal people of the
kingdom, and certainly its stand on the Jew Bill
will not lessen that respect. We trust we shall
hear no more of the bill. Even if it be true that
Baron Rothschild paid the Premier's expenses in
the City contest, surely Lord John has fully
wrought out the debt; but alas for the man whose
creditor is a Jew !

Most of our readers know that a certain eccentric
Whig Dissenter, affecting to be a Philosopher and
Humorist—a forte esprit in religion, and an em-
piric in politics—was lucky enough to get from
the Radicals the " office" of Archbishop of Dublin.
It is wonderful how far a little mystification and
dislocated English will go, to make the " barren
spectators" think-a man a genius. So it was that
Doctor Whately, in the dearth of ability among
the Whigs, was thought a clever man. Like all
pretenders, he was a " Liberal," and liberality in a
parson was no bad trade some years ago. He deli-
vered, too, certain hazy opinions on the obligation
to keep the Sabbath, and the congenial Radicals
supposed him

" A man so wise he scarce received
For Gospel what the Church believed."

In fact, they fancied they had found that idol of
their souls,—a Sceptical Priest. Whether, however,
the saloons of the Palace of Stephen's Green, or
the revenues of Dublin and Glandelagh, taught
him caution ; or whether he only had played with
their hopes as an amusement, the Archbishop never
went too far. He settled gradually into a dealer
in statistics, and a parliamentary bore. He has
written on transportation in a style that would
almost make the reader prefer the punishment to
the perusal, and on out-door relief in a manner
strongly suggestive of some similar relief from the
inflictions of a Radical Bishop. This worthy Whig
Prelate distinguished himself on Thursday night
by making simply the worst speech that was deli-
vered in favour of the Jews. The speech of the
Lord Chancellor was in its reasoning trifling, and
in its illustratiOns profane. He quoted, for instance,
the awful words of the Redeemer on the accom-
plishment of that Event, to describe which human
tongues are vain, and he used that Divine prayer
for the forgiveness of our enemies, uttered in the
agony of crucifixion, as an argument for admitting
to the councils of a Christian State men who not
only protest against, but deride and jeer the Holy
Faith of which that death is the foundation. The
Chancellor probably did not feel that he was pro-
fane, but surely he must have known that he was
not logical.
The Duke of Argyle, whose form of faith seems
to us to have, what the lawyers call, a " transitory
venue," now here, now there, taking a swing of
the pendulum that would puzzle Monsieur Arago,
between Puseyism and Presbyterianism, used one
argument, (if we must call it so,) that puts an end
to the idea of Truth. He says you have made a
Jew an elector, and therefore you must make him
a legislator. Of course Lord Argyle will consider
a swell-mobsman quite logical who says, " I have
stolen your breastpin, and therefore I must take
your watch ;" and yet we fancy he would meet such
a one much more readily with a constable than a
compliment. It was for the Archbishop of Dublin,
however, as we have said, to set up, as became
him, a " logical" view of the case. His Grace
considers that the disabilities are not upon the
Jews, but upon the Christian electors. Therefore,
to suit the tastes of the Christian electors, the Jews
should be permitted to sit in the House. This was
not given by the Archbishop as a specimen of a
distinction without a difference, but really as a
serious argument—the House being at the time
considering, not the right of electors, but of the
elected, and being engaged in the dry question of
whether the worst class of the electors of London
and Greenwich have any right to outrage both the
religion and constitution of this country. Had the
electors of Sudbury a right to scramble for Dyce
Sombre's sovereigns, which he showered out of his
mahogany box ; and, if so, why was the town dis-
franchised ? Have the electors of any town a right
to elect a bankrupt ? and if they have not, why
place Christianity a step below credit, and allow
them to elect a Jew ? There was a Churchman
once, whose monument adorns the dilapidated
aisle of Archbishop Whately's ruinous cathedral--
one Jonathan Swift—who could have answered
such paltry sophistry as this.

" One blast upon his bugle-horn
Were worth a thousand men."

But, alas ! no man of our day has inherited the
mantle of the Dean. The Papists, of course, made
common cause with the unbelievers. The Church
of England, who denies the superstitions with
which, since the Council of Trent, they have over-
laid Christianity, they hold in all hatred and hosti-
lity ; but the Jews, who deny and denounce all
Christianity whatever, they support and maintain—
another of the Protean shapes of Popery !
The House of Lords, has done greAtservice to
