RELIGIOUS INTELLIGENCE.

| tUe evils OF lay patronage III ptiNoUc hnSsAS
given by Sir Henry Taylor in q letter to Lord
Backford. printed in The Spectator: The vicar
| Of st. Peters, BOurnemOuth, died about six
months ago. A splendid church had been
built by his efforts, and he may be said to have
| created the cOngI egation. He built and en-
dowed several affiliated churches In the neigh
borbood, with parsonages, missile q houses ana
| schools, and lt was, perhaps, III no small meas
ure due to him that Bournemouth rose from
a small side village to be hrSt-class water-
| ing place. High Churchman as ne was, pc
was regarded with admiration and friendly
| respect by his Low Church neigh Dors, his
| diocesan, the Bishop of Winchester, considered
some OF his practices not strictly legal. oui
| thinking "none of them very important, and
knowing all the good work be was doing, and
| the love which bis people had for him, ne was
| not inclined to take any steps. OF to encourage
others to take any steps. to oblige hIm % give
| up what lie ana they valued so much" but
| hardly was the breath out Of his body, when
| the three curates and the congregation learned
| with dismay that clergyman understood 10
hold opposite opinions had been selected tor
| the living. He remained for several months
as vicar designate, but not actually ihstltu'eu,
| and then he announced that there were ten
practices which were illegal, and which on that
| ground he must abolish and he quoted the
authority of the Bishop. A deputation waited
upon the Bishop, with memorial signed by a
thousand-more or less-memoeTs OF tne con,
preratiOns of st. Peters and the affiliated
! churches and were assured by his Lordshlp
| that although when called upon to state what
practices were legal and what were not,
| he held it his duty to do So ne ma
! NOT himself any desire that changes should be
made Under these circumstances 1t was
| hardly possible that the vlcar-desIgnate should
remain and he announced his resignation IL
il now stated that another Low Churchman.
| DR.. Ryan, sometime Bishop or Maulllus' mas
been selected to be Mr. Harland > successor,
and all the troubles are renewed. The point Is
| that the lay patron Is apparently Determined 10
present a Low Church clergyman to m Mister IN
| a church which Is filed almost exclusively with
| q High Church congregation. Inc hardship
! comDlaiped of by Sir Henry Taylor Is the fact
| that in the hands Of this or that country
! squire, the feelings, and with the feelings the
| spiritual welfare Of a large congregation may
| be dealt with at pleasure. He maintains that
| when controversies prevail, then II Is needful
| above all things that there should be a mediat-
| inc pOwer at work, ana that this Is 70 be looked
| for in the Bishops, and not III the country
squires.
! THE .JEsurTs.-Some Of the Jesuits expelled
| from France have gone to London, others have
| settled In Ireland, a few have started on
voyage to the Philippine Islands, ana many
! have settled in Spain. The Madrid correspond
ent of the Temps (Parls) states that the
Liberal and Democratic parties IN SPAIN are
| not ut all well pleased at the readiness with
which Senior Canovas del Castillo has granted
| permission TO the French JesuIts and 10 foreign
| members or OtuCr religious oIutIS w lNSlOC
in spain where the laws for tie expulsion of
! the Jesuits and the dissolution OF other orders
! are still in existence. Although the spanish
| Government is exercising certain amount OF
cIrcumspectOn in granting the authorizations
| demanded, the influence OF the Court ana OIL
| the nobility has procured the establishment or
| five mOnasteTies and eleven colleges OF Jesu-
! its. Carmelites, Trappists, Clsterclans and
! Dominicans. Religious establishments Tor w0m-
en- were already 80 numerous that IL was I'M
! IHa my
| ous parts Of Spain editices which had formerly
! been devoted TO religious purposes, but which
! had been unused for many years, nave been
! Dlaced at the disposal of foreign orders, and
| the newcomers select, as rule, the large
| towns IN which they can look for favorable
reception from the preates, or the rural ds-
| trcts. in which the religious spirit OF the
| inhabitants Is known TO De very
| ardent. The Jesuits would have settled
| In the northern provinces bordering on France
| if they had not been forbidden doing so by
the circular of the Minister of Justice, the
! only exception being III the case OF the Span
jsh Jesuts expelled from their house near
! Rayonne They have been allowed 10 take up
their residence at tne monastery of Loyola,
! i'm GUiUuZcOa, built beside the tower or their
famous founder; but their arrival has excited
so much discomfort among the Liberals IN the
! R9souc Provinces that the rector Of LOy0la
/ has received an intlmatlOn that the tolerance
/ must not be considered rs extending 10 Tor
eign members of bis order. Notwithstanding
| this there are n great many at the present
! rime in GulDuZcOa, aG NlttOra, and other
/ towns not far from the frontier.
BERLIN AND ROME.-CaTdinal HergenrOtheT
having occasion tO 20 TO TIE many Tor the
| benefit OF his health and the regulation OF his
| prIyare affairs, has been charged with q mis-
| SION to Prince Bismarck, cOnrtlnated with the
negotiations which are taking place nj Vienna.
! This prpiar, is acquainted with all the partIc-
Mar, OF the controversies between Church and
State in Germany, Is himself German, and
IS moreover OF moderate ana Tranquil TN
permanent. 1t is hoped at the Vatican that he
/ NAV he able 20 do more for the cause rird rOce
/ than might be ACCOMPLISHED by many dlplO-
matte notes. The new Church law has been
gaZelted in Berlin. and the Government Is pre-
nored I'm expcute all the amendments. The
Roman Catholics are beginning 80 realize that
bismarck is sincere III his desire for peace.
All reports from Silesia and also from the
Rhine provinces and Wtstphalia announce
that the people IN the different parishes
are very satisfied with the measures
OF the Government for they hope soon again
10 have divine service performed In their
churches. The leaders of the Centre party
| have therefore, been obliged to stop rnelr at
! racks on the Government. The last meeting
of the Roman Catholics. arranged by the heads
of the UltramOntaue Propaganda at Cologne.
! has. indeed, dlstIn guIshed itself 10y m0derl-
ton which was curing the last few years al
most unknown on such occasions. he meeting
| declared lts urn Gully S'i"n ei',O ~ ~
the Nav Laws would he abolished, and that
| the Government would he able To rely perfectly
on the support OF the Vatican and the Centre
party if they were willing to restore peace and
| to preserve the inalienabe rights of the
| Church. Finally, the meeting affirmed that
the Roman Catholics cannot recognize the right
! of the Government to decide absolutely all
| school questions, for this would be IN the
strongest contradiction to the holy rights OF the
! Church, and also to the rights OF the parents.
But although all these resolutions show much
! energy and determination. the speeches We're
ALI made in very concliatory manner, and all
| offensive expressions calculated to offend the
| Government were carefully avoided.
