English Catholic priesthood are persons OF very
humble rank in life. The Cardinals personal
appearance is prepossessing rather than com

At the period of the French Revolution when
the Jesuits were expelled from that country, Mr.
Yields father gave them an asylum at his sPlen
did patrimonial seat of Lulworth Castle, IN Dor-
setshire Here they enjoyed all the seousion
and austerities OF La Trappe, and established
schools where the children of the nelghborins
peasantry were early taught the rudlments OF the
gorgeous and affecting faith of Rome. 1t was
from this nucleus of the sacred order, that the
now great establishments of Stoneyhurst, IN
Lancashire, and Clongower, near Dublin, were
supplied with members Of the Order. Mr.. Weid
actually abandoned his residence to the use oil
these ecclesiastics, and built tor them a magnih-

left his country for Rome; and the Jesults having
established themselves elsewhere. some return

Lulworth castle was taken for a few yearsb by Mr.:
(now Sir Robert Peel, and this, the retreat OF

then, I.ulworth has again come into the hands oil
Cardinal Weld, and was the temporary abiding
place of the fallen monarch of France and his la

The father of the Cardinal was great favorite
of his late Majesty, George Ill. who always vi
sited him when the Royal family went to Wey-
mouth. They were both good practical farmers,
and conversed much on the topics arising from
this congeniality.
The Cardinal was married in early life. but
his wife died long before he entered the Church.
His Younger sister is married to Lord Stourton.
