The party of Lord John Russell is at the bottom:
of the real aggression. This has been decided
against those who are called Paseyltes Tractar-

the Apostolic Church OF England. lie FAPal ag-

phans together with the dwellings oil the minis

buildings of the Church. Witness St Barnaoas,
and ten or twelve other Churches and ChaPels

Who, then, are those Poseyites and Tractarl-

Manifestation Of faith and new methods oil propa-

ties have received this name which they coulu
not have given 10 themselves since they are not
sectarian, because DR. Pusey, Professor Oh he,
brew at Oxford, is one OF the most eminent ana
influential men among those who have introduced
new principle of life and action into the Ohurcn
of England at a time when It was undermined oy
Indifference, scepticism, and consequently, nypoc,
risy and corruption Dr. Pusey wrote and
preached abundantly. He displayed stan more
activity in the various practical duties OF the MI
nlstry. Many churches and chapels have been
built by his exertions, by means OF voluntary sub
scriptons called forth by tbe grandeur and purity
Of his enterprise. He has himself contributed
large sums Of money. Very recently NOV. ii no
laid the corner stone OF new Church whch was
to replace chapel that will be celebrated In the
religious annals OF the 10Th century In England,
Tor il was from this that have proceeded the
principal conversions 10 the ROnan Catholic Iaith
aud which at the same time, IN my opinion pre-.
sented the strongest preventive against the tOtal
Reorganization OF the Church OF England. rms

Church whose exterior will also be the fruit OF
voluntary subscription aud which will form In the
parish OF Maryebone the district OF All Saints.
The Rector of All Saints is Mr. w. Il Richards,
a friend and follower Of Dr. Puseyj " is to him
that the latter has just addressed letter on auri

number Of congregations of the English Church,

and the duties Of its ministers have heard In the
chapel Of Mr.. Richards and frcm his mouth, In the
chapel of Lincolns Inn and from the mouth OF
Prof Maurice, the apostle OF Christian Socialism,
or rather Of Socialist Christianism.
The best that have read on the same subject
has emanated from one Of the assistants OF Mr.
Richards. This is letter addressed TO the Bishop
Of London, by Rev. Arthur Baker, M A. OF Wad-
