Toleration.-At the opening of the Supreme
Court in this city on Tuesday last, the Rev W.
Taylor. pastor Of the Roman Catholic Church, was
requested 10 offer up the customary prayer. The
invitation was as grateful 10 him as il was unexpect
ed. His performance was Characterised by tervsn.
cy OF devotion, which was lelt and admired by those
who heaid it. Il was also marked by sublime O.
originality oil thought clad in language strkingIy ell
oqnent, though somewhat varied from the common
place simplicity and turgid bombast that are some
times heard on similar occasions. After the reli-
gious service, he expressed to the Sheriff Of the
County the pleasure he felt in contrasting the tce
rant spirit which pervades the christian world al
the present day with that Of former times, and re
marked on the singular fact that priest, who
held his ordination from the Pope should be
invited TO pray for Protestant Court, and that
too on the anniversary of the eve of Gunpowder
Ploi--an anniversary which was once observed
with every possible mark of oboquy and re-
preach of the Catholics.
