When Mr.. Newdegate mada his annuai az
tack on Convents on "Wednesday, IL was
obvious what comfort and support he nao
derived from the recent Legislators in S
many. Religious Orders must be dreaoiu;
instit utions-" objectionable institutions,
the Times calls them-if such measures as as
those have been found necessary. IL %oulu
have been more telling, however, II tns
member for North Warwickehire coula
have prod uced a agile fact to prove that
enquiry was necessary. He made the as
founding assertion that the exemptions
of Catholic Converts from inspection was
privileged exemption and maze e'hel

Mr.. Pease, who led tho oPpositieaH; ,t 10 sue
contradlcted Mr.. Newdegate's assertion
that the Catholic witnesses had been reti,

backed by Mr.. Matthews and MT Serleane

/ The solempities at Paray le Mouial have
eliminated in the great pilgrimage OF Sun
day, in which forty five deputies represent
ed the Assembly, bearing magnificent
banner, the inscription on which recorded
| the fact that it was presented by l5O mem
bers of the Chamber. Already generals de
Sonis and de Charette. and the remains OF
the Volunteers of the West, had placed at
the foet of the shrine of Blessed Margaret
Mary the banner of the Sacred Heart,
which was 30 gloriously stained at Patay,
and procession of pilgrims from Belgium,
three hundred in number, had brought Of
ferings and banners, the value of which is
said to>amount to 10000 francs But the
pilgrimage of Sunday had q still higher
Significance. The great need of France is
not so much the immediate establishment
of this or that form of Government as the
religious resurrection of her people. That
resurrection has begun, and the act of con
secration which, after the communion OF
|
their name was An expression of the faith
and charity by which that resurrection
must be brought about. " So far as oul
cooperation can go, and in the measure
OF our power, we consecrate so runs thii
form of Dedication" with all the strength
of our desires France, our beloved country
with all it's provinces, with all it's works o
faith and of Charity" To which the
Bishop of Autun fifty replied, do no
thank you, gentlemen, nor do I wish yor
joy. You have no need either of felicita
tons or thanks. But, in the name of the
Church, formally acknowledge you
act" In this act all the principal mem
bers of the Right took part-except th'
Bishop of Orleans, whose duties at the
q Committee on Education prevented hin
- from being present in person-and thu
10 Comte Franz de Champaign, the Comte d.
Segur, and the Marquis de Chateaureuard
il Member of the Council of State, were ais
= there. Later in the morning the depntIe

- Archbishop of Tours, who had arrived

Is sent 5000 pilgrims, besides Others from
lie Besancon aud from the neighboThOod q
Of Paray. For u whole month such sights a
:. these have been daily visible in this littl
Burgundian town, and it is calculated tina
~ 200 900 or $50, 900 pilgrims have visited
G. during that period. The banner of the de
ko puties bore on one side the usual repre-
is sentation of the Sacred Heart, with the In
rs scription, " Cor Jesu in tie sperantium Sa
"A lus," and OF the other side the tables c
