In the Chamber of Peers this evening
Lord Oranmore read the archbishop'5 reply
TO the Church Association, showing the ten
dency in the Church of England towards
Catholicism, and moved that committee be
appointed to consider what legislation is
needed to check the evil. He supported the
motion in long speech, in the course Of
| which he read passages from petition of 483
clergymen of the established Church asking
for the appointment Of confeSsors and the
restoration of other popish practices which
the reformation abolished. He wantea 70
know by what casuistry En@l;-,n; clergyman
holding such aoctr'- .,s retained their posi-
tons in the Church.
-~rue Archbishop of Canterbury said the
noble lord had stated the question fairly. 1t
was no wonder tue popular feeling was
| working up on this subject. There was good
cause for alarm. The power Of the bishops
| to remedy abuses should be increased. The
Bishop Of Salisbury declared that the posi-
tious taken by Lord Oranmore were uuas--
assailable, but he thought the motion inOppor-
tune. The confessional was so contrary to
British feeling that the attempt to introduce
it would only lie considered wild aud vision
arr. The 1873 clergymen who signed the
netition constituted only 90 per cent. of the
clerical body of the Church.
The Archbishop Of York expressed the
opinion that whatever was done in this mat
ter should come from the Church and not tile
LEGISLATURE. He therefore, was opposed to
the motion, but he declared he would make
every exertion to prevent the prayef-book
from becoming Romanized.
The motion was then negatived, and their
