I do not say that the establishment of a Popish hierar-
ety in England would at once enable you to subordinate
the civil sword. But it would make it your duty to try
to do so, in a sense and to an extent which has not hitherto
he canon law is inapplicable under

vicars apostolic." I trust the British public will imbibe
a wholesome horror of the canon law ; and communicate
the same in a very practical shape to the British parlia-
ment.—l am, Sir, faithfully one of your opponents in this
matter, HUGH M'NEILE.

LORD FEILDING AND ARCHDEACON MANNING.—It iS
serted that Lord Feilding, a very short time previous to
s entering the Romish Communion, consulted Arch-

deacon Manning as to the claims of the Church of Eng-
land, and asked his advice, when Archdeacon Manning is
said to have given the following reply—" I cannot in my
conscience undertake to say that the Church of England

is a true branch of the Catholic Apostolic Church of
Christ." If this is true, it ought to be known ;if untrue,
it is but fair to draw the Archdeacon's attention to it, .0
order that he may. contradict it. _ _

SERIOUS NO-POPERY RlOT.—Burning the Pop' in
effigy on Thursday evening was attended with conse-
quences which might have resulted in a fearful disturb-
ance. An effigy of the Pope had been exhibited in the
shop of Mr. Hardwick, a draper in High-street, Chelten-
ham, during the day, and a mob having been attracted by
it, a dense crowd gradually collected, and demanded
possession of the effigy. This was for some time resisted,
in consequence of an order forbidding a procession; but
at length the figure, despoiled of its gaudy habiliments,
was given up to the mob by the police, (but not before
several of Mr. Hardwick' windows were broken,) who
thereupon, after parading severnl quarters of the town,
ttlen proceededthrough ` t. George's-square to the Roma
ist Chapel, near the door of which they placed their
effigy, and then set fire to it, by means of some palisades
which they tore up for the purpose. This was, however,
not the worst part of the performance, for we regret. to
say, during the auto da fe of the Pope, nearly all the
wined:•s of the chapel were broken, and itlwas not before
ht that the mob had dispersed. We cannot too

midnig

strongly repudiate such absurd doines.
CARDINAL WISEMAN.—A " Catholic," writing to the
Times in explanation and extenuation of the Papal ag-
gression, draws the following picture of Cardinal Wise-
man :—" He is known to be a vain man, an ambitious
man, a man with little prudence. but large ideas of his
own personal aggrandisement. He loves dominion. To
possess power is his great, delight, to misuse it is his con-
stant characteristic. Like his ideas, his language is full
of aspiring pride and pompous assumption. If he wish
to make a regulation, he issues a statute' ; if he pro-
pound a scheme of finance, he assumes the style of the
Supreme Pastor, and calls it a' Proprio Motu'. So in
the pompous and vainglorious pastoral which has given
so much offence to our fellow-subjects. He speaks of his
dignity tine his nalliurn as if these were all that religion
desired ; he talks rather as if the nation were at his feet,
than as if c work of charity and humility, and meekness,
and long suffering, were to be accomplished. It is the
nature of the man, the tone and temper of his mind.
Nor is this all. Born a foreigner, educated a foreigner,
and domiciled during the greater part of his life in a
foreign land, lie knows nothing of English feeling, and
has no sympathy with English notions. Yet he aspires
to be the leader of a numerous party in the country,
pretends to talk of English predilections and English
antipathies, and would fain persuade the world, a: he has
doubtless persuaded the Pope, that he, and he alone, is
to be the saviour of his adopted country, the light that
shall lead her back to the truth, and the means by which
her spiritual regeneration is to be effected." Such is the
new dignitary appointed to preside over the Catholic
Church in England, as described by a member of his own
communion.

Da. WisEmAst's LEGACY.—Dr. Wiseman has written
to a correspondent, who applied to him with reference to
a statement in the Daily News, " That the late Mr.
Taylor, of Weybridge, had been induced, in his latter
days, to disenherit his own son and to leave his estate, of
the value of £3,000 per annum, to Dr. Wiseman." The
Doctor's reply has been trumpeted as a triumphant
answer ; but the worth of it will be gathered from the
following extraordinary disclosures made in the following
remarks of the Morning Herald of Saturday ' Dr.
Wiseman's ' most candid letter informs us that he was
not personally known to the late Mr. Taylor, newer saw
him, nor corresponded with him, and that he was ' not
named in his will.' All this. we dare say, is literally true;
and yet behind all this there lurks a concealed, but fear-
ful, fact. A legal friend of ours happened, only yester-
day, to be overhauling Dr. Taylor's will, out of mere
curiosity to see what all this bother was about. And this
will, helinforms us, " Bequeaths the whole of his property
to his children for their lives ; and after their decease the
estate at Weybridge, and some land and eie,teen houses
at Islington, to the use of the Rev. Dr. Griffiths, Vicar..
apostolic of the Romish Church, if he should be living at
the time of the death of the last surviving child ; but, if
not, to the Vicar-apostolic of the Romish Church for the
London district, for the time being ; which Vicar-apos-
tolic, we believe, is no other than Dr. Wiseman ! So,
then, it turns out to be substantially true, as the Daily
News said, that the Romish Church gets the estate, and
the children are merely tenants for life. Of all this Dr.
Wiseman, in his ' most candid and satisfactory letter,'
said not one word. Oh, no I `Mr. James Taylor, the sup-
posed disinherited son, with his sister, enjoys every far-
thing of his father's property.' Enjoys ! but in what
capacity ? As tenants for life,' the Romish Church hav-
ing taken care to get hold of the estate in perpetuity. As
,to Mr. James Taylor and his sister,' supposing them to
have families. how much of all this estate will their child.
