true IL It Is not, will give yousetae idea of

TIE ENGIIsH-CATuoLIC PILGRIMAGE. As
indicated by cable dispatch, the English
Catholic pilgrimage to the shrine Of the
beatitied nun Maria Aiacoquc. at Palay-!e-
| Nonlal, France, was commenced Tuesday.
Six hundred pilgrims (the band embracing
representatives of the most distinguished
families in Brtain) took their departure from
! London. The English pilgrimage has been
organized under the auspices Of very in
tluential committee, at the head of which
are found the Duke of Norfolk and the Earl
of Denhigh, the secretary being Lord Wal
ter Kerr. The movement, which is believed
to bave originated solely among the laity,
has the sanction OF the Catholic bishops.
Archbishop Manning having already sent a
special letter OF written approval to the COM
mittee, in which he says:
Il have heard with great JOY of the desire
among our laity to make q pilgrimage from
England to Paray-le- Mouial. 1t is an act of
faith in the sight of the world, which seems
every day becoming more and more uncon-
sciouS of the presence and power Of God.
The defiance and deri>ion with which the
world has treated the pilgrimage in Italy.
Germany, Belgium, and France is an cxpli-
| cit reason for the Catholics Of England 10
claim their share also in their Inheritance OF
our common cause. Moreover, it will be a
| witness to the power OF prayer. which ha>
| of late. like all other supernatural facts, been
| tossed TO and fro in the hands of our men of
culture Lastly. it will not fail to hasten
| the day when the reign of wrong shall cease.
| The present state of Europe cannot last long,
and men will find that they will have TO pay
dear for the dsbonor they have hcared upon
| the Vicar of Jesus Christ
| The pilgrims were expected to reach Pa
ray-le-Monial on Wednesday, and, having
performed their deyotions at the shrine on
Thursday, may, if SO disposed, find them
selves back in London by Friday night VI
