and temperate foreign policy, which seeking peace seeks it through honour, which abhors the spirit of intermeddling, which trusts liberally till it has found cause to be mistrustful, which disdains under all circumstances subterfuge and evasion, and which is careful above all things that its bark shall not be worse than its bite. We want a clean-handed and disinterested administration of patronage, and a frank and full practical admission of the truth that as in the judgment of Mr. Burke, parsimony was a magnum vectigal, so purity and efficiency in the public establishments are among the best props of government. We want the maintenance of the public credit at the highest point, and of the public revenue in a condition fully to meet all the demands of the service of Her Majesty. We might pass to other subjects, such as the reform of the law, the great Indian question, the improvement of the provision, as far as the law can improve it, for the discharge by the Church of her holy duties; but, passing on from particulars, we will venture to add we want, most of all, that a character of seriousness and earnestness should be once more impressed upon the proceedings of the Parliament, and that, if it is determined to retain its privilege of laughing at bad spoken jokes, at least it will not allow its whole proceedings to assume the character of a bad joke put into action. The party that shall most resolutely embark in this career, and shall at the same time most steadily discountenance all peddling and tampering with the venerated institutions of the country, will, we believe, soon be the uppermost party in public estimation, and in the influence and power which that estimation never fails to

confer.

meaning is, that the whole course and policy of the Church of Rome, at home and abroad, in the gross and in detail, partakes so much of the character of a perpetual provocation, and so seriously tends to raise the question, which nothing but the very last necessity should induce us to revive, of the competency of Roman Catholics, believing and above all practising according to the present fashion of their Church, for the due discharge of political rights. When we look abroad we see that Church as the odious oppressor, through the Papal Government, of the Roman people, as the darkling conspirator against the wise government and infant liberties of Sardinia, as the trafficker who in Austria purchases the revival of the immunities of the middle ages for a consideration not stated in the deed, but we fear well understood to be the determined support of injustice. The monstrous and unheard-of extravagances, to which she has recently pushed her theology, are matters of a less direct, but still a kindred, bearing on the state of the English mind. But what is most proximate and most serious to us is, the great and deleterious change which has passed in our own country upon the mind of her that says she never changes. A band of proselytes, bred in the Church of England, have passed within the Papal borders, and seem to have carried with them a flame of ultramontane fanaticism that has already given a new face to the Anglo-Roman body. The readers of our history are well aware, that in former times this narrow portion of the Romish pale was under the full sway of all the milder and tempering influences, which have often so beneficially softened and restrained the peculiar liabilities of that communion, and have in particular assisted to establish, when they have been dominant, a considerable, or even a cordial, harmony between it and the secular power. But the case has always been widely different, when the ultramontane or high Papal opinions have prevailed. Even these, however, have of late received a new and portentous deve

called 'direction.' Under this system, the Roman Catholic who follows it goes to his priest not only to assist his conscience in disburdening itself for the past, but to take orders from him-we can call them nothing less without falling short of the truth-as to the line of conduct he shall pursue in all the most sacred relations, the most intimate and delicate duties of life. For example, supposing him to be a person who has recently fallen into the toils of the Romish
