SATURDAY, JUNE 11, 1859. -+-- BLOOD OF ST. JANUARIUS. We have elsewhere, at request, republished the recent correspondence between Sir Culling Eardley and Lord Feilding, relative to the blood of St. Januarius. Nothing can be fairer and more to the purpose than the offer made by Sir C. E. Eardley to have the ques- tion at issue tested by arbitrament upon the spot, so that the reality or the imposture of the alleged miraculous liquefaction might be made apparent: and, we regret to add, that nothing could well have been less satisfactory than the evasive reply given to the offer by Lord Feilding. His Lordship professes to be more indifferent as to Protestant opinions on the subject of the mirap»' 1■' J T"" .VMJ-' ue irue, for the question involves the character of the church (to which he is. a per- vert) for common honesty and truthfulness. It is alleged by Protestants that the pretended miracle of the quefaction is a palpable and transparent fraud. Lord Feilding says, that having examined it carefully, he wished to show that it was not easily accounted for or imitated. It may readily be conceded that Lord Feilding's powers of perception are not so remarkably acute as to place him above the peril of delusion. He, doubtless, thinks as he writes and speaks about the alleged mi- racle but so long as the trqthfulness of his Church is called in question, the matter can- not be, and should not be, the thing in- different," which he affects to regard it. No man can afford to let his good be evil spoken of: and to Catholics the good of the Church is supreme. It was because Loid Feilding was not indifferent that he mooted the question at Holywell. The probability is, that since that most imprudent but zealous step was taken, his lordship has been subjected to priestly ad- monition; and warned not to meddle with things 'too high for him. 0 Rome Rome Thy fetters seem to be light and silken as bracelets when first bound on; but soon change to iron gyvres: and thus to suffer the ignominy of flagrant and cowardly evasion is the least penance that a duly instructed confessor would exact from the Neophyte who had trespassed too near the arcanum of the Temple. Than the apparent liquefaction, or even the apparent creation, of blood, nothing is more easy. Even the merest tyro in chemical mu- tations would produce at little cost, and less trouble, a quart or two of apparently the best human claret that was ever tapped by a bruiser; and it would not surprise us if the infamous imposture carried on under the name of St. Januarius is anything more or less than the secret mixture, by means of unseen me- chanism, of Sulpho-cyanic acid with a per sait of iron-an operation with which children startle their mamas at Christmas, and which it is said Cardinal Wiseman sometimes resorts to, when wishing to gain a convert or secure a waverer.
ROMISH TEACHING IN THE CHURCH.
ROMISH TEACHING IN THE CHURCH. The recent disclosure in the Court of Queen's Bench, touching the neglect or re- fusal of the Bishop of Chichester to institute an inquiry into certain charges brought against the Rev. W. W. Randall, rector of Woollav- ington and Graffham, in the county of Sussex, under the Church Discipline Act, will be found fliLy reported in another column: and, though copiously detailed, will amply repay perusal, by the deep interest it is calcu- lated to excite amongst all those who wish to preserve the purity of Protestant doctrine and ritual in these kingdoms. It will be seen that, in addition to all the mummeries of Pugeyism, with regard to the ritual, services, and ceremonies, used by this reverend nominee of the Bishop of Oxford, he has actually 40 altered and extended the cate- chism, used by the children of the school under his surveillance as rector, as to inculcate the doctrine of seven sacraments, besides transubstantiation, or the doctrine of the real presence of the Son of God in the consecrated elements. And it will also be seen that in these gross outrages upon the simplicity of Protestant faith and worship, he is fuliy sus- tained by his djpeesan, who, on the plea gf a private hearing, professes to be so fully satis- fied of the propriety of the rector's views and conduct that he not only refuses to institute the public inquiry prayed for by the parish- ioners, and duly provided for by the Act of Parliament, but actually procures the dis- missal of the honest and zealous curate whose [flsltl and right-mindedness induced him to draw episcopal attention to the charge. There is, however, one feature in the case which is far more indicative of a gangrene, deeply-seated and widely-spread throughout the church, than even the episcopal compli. city in the rectorial offence. We refer to the palpable hypocrisy with which the Bishop of Chichester at first professes to be so startled and shocked at the accusation, as scarcely to be able to believe it to be true. This, it will be remembered, was just the way that the Bishop of Oxford treated the similar case brought before him some time ago. These right reverend prelates have an eye to general effect. So soon as a complaint is laid before them, which they predetermine to silence and suppress-they affect the most pious horror, write ponderous propositions of stern Protes- tant character, and denounce Puseyite heresy in the mass, whilst craftily professing to dis- believe that the case complained of can be an instance in point. They then promise to en- quire but instead of making the promised enquiry openly, and in legal form, as by the Act of Church Discipline prescribed, they call upon, or send for, the accused party, put him on his guard-prefer to him certain cut and dried questions—obtain studied replies, and part mutually satisBed with their several shares in a farce which threatens to give eventually to their poor church a tragic ending. Here we have the courts of law calling upon a bishop to do his duty, and act as or- dered to do by a fiat of the legislature made to meet such very cases as the one now pend- ing-and, worse than all, we have a Godly- minded, truthful, pious, protestant curate sus- pended and discharged for initiating that in- quiry which the bishop from the first was determined to burke—aye, from the first. It will be seen how warily and cunningly he pro- vides beforehand the shield of a misunder- standing, a mistake, or a misapprehension for the rector, just as if there could be any mis- take made in the question, whether the rector taught t'ue doctrine of seven sacraments or two-transubstantiation, or simple symbolical representation, in the Lord's Supper.
- THE QUEEN'S SPEECH.
THE QUEEN'S SPEECH. Of the Queen's speech it may be said, as is often said of young main mall, I As well as can bo expected." On the question of Re- form the Cabinet have not again made their Sovereign hold forth any false promises. They simply suggest to Parliament an excuse for not pressing reform considerations on during the present session. Whether this be praise. worthy or not will depend upon the answer given to a previous enquiry. Ought Parlia- ment to have been dissolved, and the country appealed to, on that very question, if such question is not now to be proceeded with ? The country has a right to demand consistency in its public servants: and it is rather out of the way for a government to make use of an- tagonistic and incongruous pleas. If they were right in dissolving Parliament on the re- form question, they are wrong in endeavouring to burke that question now. If they are right now in putting no false promises into the royal mouth, they were infamously wronir »1,« inei or organic reform to be made part and parcel of the late royal speech, at the tamo & wnat a mere sham it was that they intended to term reform. As things are, the men have the cool effron- tery and hardihood to advise the putting off to another Session the consideration of that very topic of organic reform, and improved elec- toral distribution, on which they professedly and actually founded their late appeal to the people. Having got the new Parliament they sought, they refuse to lay before it the very question of questions which it was delegated to enquire into: and impudently suggest to the very representatives who are ready to re- spond to their appeal a false pitiable excuse for the surrender of their trust. At this bait it is t) be hoped Parliament will not bite, the hook is too apparent. The rest of the speech, though common- place, is unobjectionable, except that the ministry take to themselves more credit than they deserve in having thus far kept Great Britain out of the Continental war. Her Ma- jesty's declarations in favor of strict and impartial neutrality were, doubtless, hearty and sincere in their enunciation by the royal lady: but whether the same attributes were in the hearts of those who penned the speech, must be further tested ere much faith can be safely placed thereon. Acts speak louder than words, and whilst ministers talk of de- funct treaties as things of living obligation, and speak of Austrian CLAIMS in Italy as paramount to the innate indefeasable RIGHTS of the Italian nationalities and municipalities themselves, it is easy to see that peace is likely to last longer as a sound than as a thing. Against the increase of the naval forces and coast defences we have nothing to object: but as they will have to be paid for, the country should take care that the fingering of the money be not entrusted to a Cabinet whose Chancellor likens the expense of a thirty year's war, a perpetual income tax, and a duplicated national debt, as forming a mere flea bite.
HOUSE OF PEERS.
HOUSE OF PEERS. In the House of Peers the address was agreed to as a matter of course. It would have been well if all the speakers had adhered to the principle enunciated by Lord Powis, and refrained from making any commentary on what was going forward in th& Commons* House. It was not a question for the Peers of England to meddle with, that a large sec- tion of the popular representatives felt called upon to register what was tantamount to a vote of want of confidence in the administra- tion. The Commons are the representatives of the people, not mouth-pieces of an oli- garchy. In the midst of a loose, rambling, desultory round of chit-chat, all beneath the dignity or the place, and the demands of the occasion, such persons as Lords Normanby and Ellenborough, take upon themselves to decry the political course taken by the popu- lar leaders in the lower house, just as if the Commons had not a cognate jurisdiction with the Peers in the great question of the day,, which really does pend-namely, can the pro- fessed neutrality of the Government be de- pended upon, when it is always shewing an Austrian bias, and prattling about the Treaty of Vienna. The Duke of Argyle wisely dis- trusts the ability of the Government Ion, to maintain neutrality, under the influence of such sympathies and leanings, and very truly said that the liberals were offering no factious opposition to the Government. Even Lord Brougham followed the bad precedent set by too many of our aristocrats, of evincing premature distrust in the intentions of Louis Napoleon. If, as he says, it is indeed (and we believe it to be) desirable that the Austrians be driven out of Italy, it is equally clear that it cannot be done by the Piedmontese unaided-the subjugated states being under the very guns of their oppressors ? There is always danger when aid is sought at the hands of a foreign power, and Louis Napoleon is about the last man we would voluntarily trust: but, as necessity knows no law, we cannot see the wisdom of the British Senator thus question- ing in Parliament the honesty of aim and purpose in an accredited ally of his Queen. So long as the alliance with France remains the less that either Parliament or the Press have to say against Louis Napoleon's intentions the better. The Sardinians in particular, and the Italians generally are, doubtless, on their guard--and many cirumstances may combine to prompt the French Emperor to a liberal use of the power he will have gained in Italy if the present favorable state of the conflict progress to a victorious result. Meanwhile, it is worse than idle to impute motives, that either may not exist, or that maybe hereafter amended and corrected- But even at the worst the influence of France in Italy, as a victor and ally, would not be so baneful to the States and citizens as the sway of Austria. The blood curdles at the hideous catalogue of fiend-like barbarities recorded in another column as having been perpetrated by the House of Hapsburg in the States of Italy.
GRAND CHURCHES BUT RATHER…
GRAND CHURCHES BUT RATHER EMPTY. Whilst Lord John Russell was presiding, on Saturday Iso. al the anniversary meeting of me Uity of London Mission auxiliary, he took occasion to refer in terms of regret to the fast growing taste for architectural display, and needless expense, in the erection and comple- tion of churches- an evil, if not introduced, yet greatly extended by the Puseyite party.— His Lordship is reported to have said, and we think the remarks are just Unfortunately, the poor are not found in very great numbers in those places of worship and I have often discussed with ministers of the Established Church and Dissenting bodies as to the reasons why that should be so. It is, I think, unfortunate-althougb in many re- spects it seems as improvident-that we cannot in these days of luxury and civilisation resort to the simplicity of the early Christians. We are told by a Ilou.an writer-a Pagan writer-that when Christians were brought up to be examined as to the crime they were supposed to have committed, they answered that they held meetings amongst one another, ia which they sang hymns to Christ and encouraged temperance and moral virtue, and read their sacred uooks to one an- other. Nothing could be more simple than tuis-no. thing more likely to induce one another to imbibe the consolations of the gospel. But now-a-days our places of worship become places where people resort in the best dress they can afford; and ia some measure they shame those whose rags do not fit them to mingle with persons thus sumptuously dressed. A Dissenting zni- nister at Brighton told me that the only way he could reaoh the hearts and minds of the poorer persons living in the alleys and lanes of Brighton was to go into the middle of the streets and thus the poorer persons, who did not like to appear at any place of worship in their shabby olothes put their heads out of the windew to lieten to his exhortations. This is one of the illustra- tions amongst many that our places of worship do not reaoh the whole masses of the community. These observations are of deep import.. They embrace a truth that lies at the root of the general irreligion. The indigent are ashamed to mingle in highly ornate buildings with the luxuriously apparelled sons and daughters of opulence, an opulence so overt,, ostentatious, and obtrusive as to produce exactly the same effects as a decree of exclu- sion to the lowly. Thus even the templee of ivorship are profaned by Mammon-loving, pride on the one hand, and a false shame on the other. Let the above remarks of Lord John be con- trasted by the annexed exulting piece of ab- surdity, about the temple in Margaret-street, extracted from a Puseyite journal entitled the Union,' although its obvious tendency i8 to, disunite We desire to congratulate our readers, with all ear. neatness and in all sincerity, upon the solemn oouse- oratiou of this magnifioent ohuioh. There is not its- equal in splendour and richness in any portJØD of Great Britain. Generally speakiug, it is perfe"' ge- neral plan and minute detail, and is a standing memo- rial of the power and influence of the great C'a tbolie Revival in the English Church. The Rocoan Catholics have nothing at all approaching it in sumptuousness- of character; and no church of theits is to be com- pared with it in completeness of arrangement or Catho- licity of detail. Built especially for the neeessmet of our present ritual, it nevertheless carries back the mind to the ages of Faith, and continually preaches- the great truth that the Church of Eogland of the present day is the Church of St. Auselm and St. Tho- mas; and points out to Christendom generally what a healthy and powerful influenoe the Cathoho movement has obtained. Here we have a deep ohancel for so- lemn song and impressive function; sedilia, pisoioa, credence, a sumptuous altar duly eleva'ed and properly vested; devotional religious pictures of the bigbeat style of art; altar lights, altar cross, font, 100terik litany 8tool-every "ornament," in fact, which can, possibly be required for the due and proper perform- ance of Divine service; and what more can we want? What more, indeed ? What are such little trifles as humility, purity, charity, faith, obe~ dience, and spiritual gifts and graces of any kind, compared with the list of mummeries above specified, as meeting all the wants of religionists who use them.

-L-Tae Volunteer Movement.
L-Tae Volunteer Movement. One of the most influentini meetings that have taken 'place'in connexion with this isubiect-since rifle corps were first talked of was held on Saturday evening in the Hfinever-squarc Rooms. Lieutenant General Sir De Lacy Evans occupied the chair. He said be never felt more gratified in his life than by the movement he now saw geiag on for the ^establishment of some means>of national defence in the present-extraordinary condition of kftairs. They could -not decide on all the details..now, but-with regard to away lie had no doubt that the- weapon in use by the general body of troops should be adttptsd by the volun- teer-corps. The uniform, he-conceived, ought to be of 'the most economical description, in order to enable as great a number as possible to assist. YThe government circular left it open to all persons between the ag-es of aud 45 to enter thesj corps. He did not see why persons of more than 45 should be excluded; many men-were younger at 60 than others > et 40, and every man-endowed with the high fueling-of desiring to de- fend his country should be eligible. He hoped to see some-more effective and decided assistance given to the present movement. It seemed atmost a mockery ontytootfer targets for praotice and ammunition at £ rst-oest, and looked like a reJu-cianoe to trust the people with arms, or the power of laoliliarising them. aelv.a-witb their use. This volunteer rifle movement was o.oe calculated only for defence, and no foreign government could take umbrage at it. Europe was aow jn a state of war, and it was admitted that there was a wi-itten understanding between France and Russia, the nature of which was concealed, but they knew that Russia was moviugifive army corps towards the.,German frontier. He could not help thinking we weM.on the verge of the most momentous struggle that had .been seen in our time, and it wta-on that account he felt-eo muoh gratification at the present defensive movement (cheers). Sir Hamilton Seymour, late ambassador to St. Petersburg and to Vienna, next addressed the meeting. The object of this meeting he believed to be perfectly legitimate. If he passed the shops «t night he saw them guarded with iron shutters; in their own houses they secured the doors with good bolte and locks, and policemen patrolled the streets. All he wished was that tbey.shouid take the same care for the protection of this dear little island as they each took for their own streets and d wellings (cbeers). He was told by a great authority, that if they would sit quiet no harm would happen to them but he should not regard that advice. He did not think with Nlr. Bright, that the fact of carrying a riQe upon their shoulders would make them quarrelsome. He never walked without a stick, but it never oocurred,to him to lay it about the shoulders of the peopie be met (a laugh). They should take a hiot from the game preservers, who filled their woods with spring guns and man traps, not that they thirsted for the poacher's life, or even for his leg, but to deter him from attempting to enter (cheers). General Sir Duncan M'Dougall .said he-had taken great interest in this question ever since 1852, and had constantly endeavoured to impress on the government the necessity of giving the people such an organization and training as would render it impossible for the world combined to assail this country with eucoess. In Nova Scotia every man from 18 to 45 was required to assemble for four days' training. Mr. Ollivier, of Boni-street, who has taken an active part in promoting the movement in St George's said it was intended to apply to government -for leave toeJeroille in the gardens of Burlington House and it was hoped that an arrangement would be made with the Victoria Rifle Club to be ailowed to exercise in ball practice at their grounds at Kilburn. They intended to adopt a simple uniforn, of such a colour that the trowsers might be worn as part of their ordinary dress. The forma) proceedings closed with a vote of thanks to the chairman, and a considerable number of persons then came to the tables provided for the purpose of registering their names. The citizens of Edinburgh have tendered their ser- vices to the Lord Provost, to form a volunteer corps, As much as 6501, has been already subscribed. At York, the Lord Mayor presided on Friday at a meeting in the Guildhall. The proceedings were ren- dered somewhat remarkable from the fact, that several gentlemen present opposed the rifle movement, on the grounds that there was no reason to doubt the good faith of the Emperor of the Frenoh; and that the movement bad originated in Lord Derby's cabinet. The resolution, declaring the meeting in favour of the formation of a local rifle corps was, however, carried, although there was a large number of hands held up against it. The Lord Mayor spoke in favour of the resolution; and a committee was appointed to carry out the object in view. In Norwich the fund raised already amounts to 2651" and the Mayor has conveued a meeting for to-day for the settlement of details.

AMENDMENT TO THE ADDRESS.
AMENDMENT TO THE ADDRESS. The amendment to the address, so ardently looked forward to by all who really wish for permanent and honourable peace, has not dis- appointed our expectation. It curtly states a twofold proposition-both parts of which are pretty nearly equally self-evident—namely, "That it was essential government should possess the confidence of Parliament, which was not reposed in the present government." No one can deny the former half of the above; for what real good, in a representative commu- nity, can any ministry effect who have lost the confidence of the representatives-and espe- cially of the more popular representatives ? And the latter portion few will question, when reminded that, of the 268 members who at- tended the meeting at which the amendment was discussed and agreed to, there were only three dissentients, namely, Messrs. Roebuck, Lindsay, and Horsman, the last named of whom has, as will be seen, adopted a course of his own, and, doubtless, to some extent, a collateral one, equally expressive of distrust. As will be seen, the Chancellor of the Ex- chequer does Hot know how to meet an ex- pression of distrust so general and so guarded —and hence his speech, though clever, can- not meet the issue, for that issue will appear to rest on one point with A, an another with B, and on a third with C. It was this, doubt- less, that led to the brevity Qf ffce amendment. -d!- The grounds of distrust vary, as men's minas vary. It is enough that 265 of our moat pt- pular representatives do, on some ground or other, distrust Lord Derby's for one thing, some for another. Mr. Die- raeli, therefore, did not see what special ground to take. It remains to be seen what grouna will be taken by his followers and friends.
