of replying to the advocates of Rome, so long as they
entered on the subject. An attempt had been made to
introduce the Douay version of the Bible into the work-
house, and a gentleman on the committee had said that
the Priests allowed the people to read their version, bat
not the Protestant version. Dr. Cahill had alluded to
the " enormous lie" of Rome prohibiting the reading of
the Word of God, and most emphatically contradicted
this assertion. Would anybody read Dr. Cahill's state-
ment, and believe that the writer of it knew at the same
time that no Roman Catholic was allowed to read the
Bible without the permission of the priest? Yet, such was
the fact; and it was notorious that, without this permis-
sion, no Roman Catholic was allowed to read the Bible.
Dr. Wiseman "would not seek to merit the taunt by the
denial—he admitted that the Romish priests did not en-
courage the people to read the Bible, nor did they allow,
or wish them, indiscriminately to read the Word of God."
Dr. Newman said, people disbelieved when they read the
Bible ; they opened the book in an -unbelieving spirit,
and there found something contrary to the doctrine of
their church ; and this caused them to become unbelievers.
(Hear.) They considered no man to be a good Catholic
if he opened his Bible to see if the tenets of his Church
were true. What was the use of an infallible Church, if
the great guns of this infallible Church fired upon each
other by expressing contrary opinions; for Dr. Cahill's
opinion and Dr. Wiseman's opinion were directly
at variance. He then referred to the decree of the
Council of Trent, prohibiting 'the indiscriminate reading
! of the Bible, and if any one read it without a written-per-
mission, he should be denied 'the benefit of absolution.
Any bookseller vending the book without permission was
compelled to forfeit the book, and be fined in any penalty
' which the bishop thought fit. Now, this old law had
actually been acted upon, in a:late transaction in Tuscany,
which every one was acquainted with. In this case a
person was commenting in a certain room, in company
with two or three other persons ; and this was actually
considered to be a plot to overthrow the religion
of the country ; and therefore the expounders of the
Scripture were banished from the country. This brought
him to the portion of the resolution in reference to the
necessity of circulating amongst our Romish brethren
truth which makes us free. The voice which we were raising
was, indeed, the cry which St. John heard in his vision
when he wrote in his Revelation, "Come out of her, my
people, and be not partakers of her sins." We raised this
cry to warn not only our own people, but Romansts, against
this false reiigion—this conspiracy against the liberties
of man and the rights of nations. If you oppose her here
you are accused of persecution ; if you oppose her in Italy,
you are accused of treason. How, then, could we oppose
this dreadful system ? By no other method than by mis-
sionary efforts, endeavouring to promulgate the truth, in
order to make all men free. " Judge not, that you be not
judged," was a text which had been thrown at us, with
respect to our passing an opinion of the Church of Rome;
but he wished themto remember the further statement of
our Lord, "Cast not pearls before swine; cast not that
which is holy to the dogs, lest they turn again and rend
you." Rome had been entrusted with political power by
Englishmen, and now she turned again to rend them.
(Cheers.)
The CHAIRMAN put the resolution, which was carried
with great acclamation.

FIRE AT READING.—On Sunday a fire took place at
Reading, which caused the destruction of property to a
large amount. The fire commenced at the warehouses of
Mr. M'Tier, a coal merchant hi Queen's-road, and com-

builder. The leadworks of Messrs. Clark, which con-
tained property to the value of £3,000, also caught fire.
The principal workshops of Mr. Biggs were consumed,
and the damage done altogether is estimated at several
thousand pounds. All Mr. Biggs' premises were insured

which are to be awarded for the best samples, after their
distinct kinds, in extra stock.
FATAL SHIPWRECK.—A fearful catastrophe happened
off Sunderland harbour on Thursday morning about two
o'clock. On Wednesday evening the wind was from the
N.N.W., with moderate weather, and among the vessels
that went out to sea by the afternoon's tide, was the barque
Mary Graham, with coals for Bombay. The principal part
of her crew were on shore for amusement, and the master
and mate remained behind to look after them and get them
aboard, sending the vessel out, into the roads in charge of
Mr. Hodgson, a North Sea pilot, and several riggers and
men employed at daywork. 'The rigging was loose, and
under such circumstances the vessel was in a very disorderly
state whew she went out. Mr. Elliott, one of the owner's
clerks, also proceeded to sea with the vessel, to look after
the riggers ; and it appears that while the vessel was rid-
ing with two anchors out, a tremendous gale came on from
the east about nine o'clock that night, blowing straight on
to the shore, and a little before two in the morning, the
man in charge of the south pier lights saw the sea in the
offing illuminated with signal lights from the barque,
as she had then drifted from her anchors and was coming
in to the shore. He immediately sent to the town to give
the alarm, and speedily a number of pilots and harbour
men arrived, and the lifeboats and Manby's apparatus
were got out, but, on account of the fearful sea that had
by this time risen, neither the one or the other was of
service. About two o'clock the hapless vessel drifted on
to the " stone heads" lying between the south pier and the
beacon, and within an hour she had gone to pieces, and
every one on board of her had perished, with the exception
of a seaman named Edward Downs, who drifted ashore in
one of the longboats. The body of the pilot, and Mr.
Elliott, with several others, .have been picked up during
the forenoon, and the wreck of the vessel is strewn along
the shore as far as the eye can reach.
BURNING OF THE MORAYSHIRE.—:The following ex-
tract of a letter gives some details of the loss, by fire, of
the barque Morayshire, Brodie, from Bombay to Liver-
pool:—`4 The fire broke out in the mainhold eight days
after the ship sailed from Bombay. Her cargo consisted
chiefly of Indian produce—a considerable portion of which
was Bombay cotton. There appears to be little doubt that
part of the latter was stowed away in wet weather ; and
to this cause, added to a large quantity of the coir yarn,
used as broken stowage, being sent on board in a moist
state, her spontaneous combustion may be ascribed. We
understand that, on the eighth day after she left Bombay,

smoke was observed issuing into the cuddy, about midday
when an instant search was made for the cause. After
searching over the ship unsuccessfully, one of the seamen
went into the chain locker, and his immediate exit from

every sail set to run for the nearest land, but within three
hours the flames burst forth through the deck, compelling
the captain to order the long-boat to be lowered, and,
having been supplied with water, the crew took to their
solitary refuge, and the ship was abandoned. A quarter

hull became a mass of flame. She soon disappeared.
After three days' suffering, the long-boat reached Colombo,
where the crew all safely landed?'

has been formed under most favourable auspices, his Ma-

CASIIMERIAN ROSE -01 L.—The essential oil, or c,,le-

superior to any other ; a circumstance not surprising, as,
according to Hugel, the flower is here produced of sur-
passing fragrance as well as beauty. A large quantity of
rose water twice distilled is allowed to run off into an
open vessel, placed over night in a cool running stream,
and in the morning the od is found floating on th surface
in minute specks, which are taken off very carefully by
means of a blade of sword-lily. When cool it is of a dark
