THINGS IN ENGLAND.
In ENGLAND the discussion on the new Catholic
Hierarchy seems to be somewhat appeased. as is
natural, by the lapse of time. The following let
ter from the Prime Minister to the Bishop OF Dur
ham, is the last word on the subiect:
$40 The Right Rer. the Bishop of Durham.
"MY DEAR LoRD: Il agree with you in consid-
ering the late aggression of the Pope upon our
Professionalism, as 'insolent and insidious; and
therefore feel as indignant as you can do uponthe
subject
al not only promoted to the utmost of my pow
or the claims of the Roman Catholics to all civil
rights, hut thought it right and even desirable,
4hat the ecclesiastical system of the Roman Ca
tholics should be the means Of giving instruction
10 the numerous Irish immigrants IN London and
elsewhere, who without such help, would have
been left in heather ignorance.
This might have been done, however without
any such innovation as that which We have now
seen.

"There is an assumption of power in all the
tension to supremacy over the realm OF England,
and a claim to sole and undivided sway, which IS
Inconsistent with the queens supremacy, with
che rights OF our bishops and clergy and with the
spiritual independence of thenatlon, as asserted
even in Roman Catholic times"
I" confess however, that my alarm is not equal
60 my indignation.
Even if it shall appear chat the ministers and
servants of the Pope in this country have not
transgressed the law, / feel persuaded that We
are strong enough to repel any outward attacks.
The liberty Of Professionalism has been enjoyed
zoo long in England to allow of any successful at
sempt to impose a foreign yoke upon our minds
and consciences. No foreign prince Or potentate
will be permitted to tasteu his letters upon n ma
ton which has so long and nobly vindlcated its
right to freedom OF opinion, civil, POLITICAL and re-
ligious,
Upon this subject, then, l viii only say, that
the present state of the law shall be carefully
examined, and the propriety of adopting any pro-
ceedings with reference to the present assump-
lions OF power deliberately considered.
"Therc is danger however winch alarms me
much more than any aggression Of a foreign sove-
reign,

scrbed the thirty-nine articles, and acknowledge
