the dogmas and ceremonies which are pro
fessed and promulgated by English rltualiSts,

time any opinion which could offend the CON

rHear. hear.l Whether those doctrines
which arc quoted from authoritative wit
| iues--from books which, 1 am sorry to say,
are found on too many of the shelves
and library tables of English Church
men; whether the doctrines are or are
not adopted by them; whether they apply
TO the worship of the Virgin, to the
confessional, or to the various subjects which
i were quoted by the honorable member from
Berks-so long as they are doctrines held by
the Roman Catholic Church am prepared
to. treat them with reverence; hut what
object to is that they should be claimed tc
be held by ministers Of church who when
they enter it enter il at the same time with 9
solemn contract entered into with the ma
tion-floud cheers] that they would oppose
those doctrines and utterly resist Them. he'

in masquerade. [Cheers.] To the solemn

am prepared to extend that reverence Which
NV mind and conscience extend always 10
religious ceremonies sincerely believed in

we have been placed by, believe, small
hut powerful and weil-organiZed body called
English clergymen, is one which the country
thinks intolerable-[ hear, hear and be.

This speech, which 50 skilfuIly touched
the Protestant heart of the House, while 1t as
sklfuly avoided in any way Wounding the
, feelings of the Roman Catholic members,
made further resistance to the bill impos-
/ sible. The debate had commenced at noon,
| and shortly before O'Clock the Speaker put
] the question. There was faint cry of "No"
from one or two members, but the Speaker
declared that " the ayes had it,"'and the bill
was then read a second time, amid loua
outburst of cheers aud laughter. . :,
of course the battle is not yet wholly
i over. On Friday the House goes into COM
mittce on the bill, and then MIR. Gladstone
is to bring up his resolutions. But it can
scarcely be doubted that they will be reject.
ed by an Overwhelming minority, and that
the "bill to put down the ritualists" will IN
| q few DAYS be law. PIeCADlLLY.
