SACERDOTAL TEACHING AND ITS RESULTS. IN his sermon at Aberystwith on Thursday, Car- dinal MANNING, although carefully avoiding poli- tico-ecclesiastical topics, and cautiously abstain- ing from any direct allusiun to those doctrines of Ultramontanism which seek to fetter human thought, and to destroy the civil liberties of States, extolled as the greatest of all virtues and as espe- cially praiseworthy and blessed that mental dispos- ition which, by accepting all the teachings of the Church as equally true and equally impor- tant, gives to Ultramontanism all its perni- cious and dangerous power. If we under- stand the argument of the CARDINAL rightly it amounts to this—that all the solemn verities of the Christian religion which saving faith appropriates are solely made known and become such by the teachings of the Church, and that all the teachings of the Church are equally solemn verities, and are equally necessary to man's true life here and to his salvation hereafter. The Scriptures are not an account of an exceptional period, beginning with Genesis and ending with the Book of the Apocalypse. In the narrative of the Evangelists it is recorded that CHRIST revealed himself again and again to His disciples but the Church which continues unbroken the records and the revelations declares that CHRIST has revealed himself many times since. In proof of this teaching and reveal- ing power in the Church, the CARDINAL refers to the" example of our great St. THOMAS of Canter- bury," who, he assures us, "read the revelation of his martyrdom whilst he was making his thanks- giving after holy mass," and to "a case amongst the people of Corea called the Mother of Martyrs," where a poor peasant, returning home in the evening, heard a voice call- ing him, and saw JESUS CHRIST and his Mother who said, Thou wilt be with me before naany days. On that very night, as the CARDINAL assures us, a persecution broke out, and the Peasant was one of the first who suffered. If naen will not believe these things," continues Cardinal MANNING, Let them look to the found- ations of their faith if they believe them, let them rejoice that our DIVINE MASTER has no abandoned us." As a favourable illustration of those who hear and believe, the CARDINAL referred to Our OWn country, "where he thanked GOD, that eveu in the midst of thorns and briars there is springing up good seed;" and as ah illustration of those who will not hear and believe, he referred to Germany, where the religion of CHRIST at this hour is ravaged by Rationalism. We notice this Aberystwith sermon not for pur- Poses of criticism and discussion, but because it supplies proof of a fact which the South Wales Daily News has frequently affirmed-that Roman Catholicism, and especially that worst form of it, Ultramontanism, is rapidly making headway In Great Britain; and next, because it shews that the unreasoning habit of mind which Car- dinal MANNING inculcates, and the implicit belief in the teachings of the Church, which he enjoined as the highest of human virtues, is the chief and most deadly ally of Ultramontanism in its crusade against human freedom. Those who will believe upon the authority of the Church's teachings, in the inspirations of THOMAS A BECKET, in the visions of a Corean peasant, and in Mother of Martyrs, are equally prepared to believe, upon the teachings ef the same Church, that the lique- faction of the blood of St. JANUARIUS lis equally worthy of credence, if not equally worthy in merit, with the shedding of the blood of JESUS CHRIST; and that faith in winking Madonnas and in an ecstatic and entranced Stigruatisse is as necessary as belief in the earlier truths of Christianity. Just in proportion as this unreasoning habit of mind which Dr MANNING in- culcates as the perfection of the religious character iucreasts, the rule of the priest extends, and moral manhood, mental independence, individual liberty, and civil freedom are prostrated at the feet of that spiritual domination which kept the mind °f Europe in bondage for centuries, and the desolating effects of which are still stamped, and in apparently ineffaceable characters, upon some of the fairest portions of the Continent. Sacerdotalism-the rule of the priest-has been the curse of every country in which its blighting in- fluence has prevailed and combined and almost superhuman efforts are now exerted to bring this country, now happily freed from the yoke of Rome, ag,tin under its sway, No complaint can be pre- ferred against the legitimate efforts in this direc- tion of those who openly avow their aim. CARDINAL MANNING and his co-religionists at Aberystwith have the same inalienable right to extend if they can the rule of the priest and the POPE, as Protestants have to resist the ex- tension of that rule, and to proclaim a spiritual and a personal religion. An honest and open con- flict betwixt truth and error is not only desirable in itself it is the only. appointed [mode by which Truth can succeed in her mission, and the world be won to her allegiance. But crafty and stealthy and secret and traitorous efforts to advance the claims of one Church while the teachers are paid to proclaim the doctrines of another, is so abhorrent even to the most latitudinariati principles of every- day morality, that it would arouse the reprobation of Society were it not that Society has been unhappily trained to tolerate the moral aberrations of professional ecclesiasticism. The Ritualists, who are more successful in propagating the doctrines of Rome than even the legitimate defenders of Church supremacy and Papal infal- libility, are now beginning to believe, or at least profess belief, in some of the more childish super- stitions of Rome, and have advanced from "cowl and cope and rochet and pall," and lighted candles, and the eastward position, to a belief in winking Virgins and entranced Stigmatisse. A case which has just occurred, and which would be ludicrous were it not melancholy, in which two clergymen of the Church of England play no very dignified part, shows how abject a thing human reason can become when it prostrates its independence before the altar of an earthly spiritual authority. M. DuxAs the younger, whom nobody accuses of being over devout or very religious, in a preface which he was commis- sioned to write for "a very pious bookl"-they do manage some things worse in France —protested against a too frequent appearance of the VIRGIN MARY,and thinks that she had lately been appearing a great deal too often to little country girls in France. However this may be, it is certain that little country girls are a great deal too often I allowed to play tho'part of-well, let us say, en- trancists. They have a new one of the kind at Bois d'Haisne, in Belgium; Louiss LATEAU by name. This unfortunate girl, when in her religious ecstacies, is said to be able at once c, to distinguish blessed from commen objects cup, for instance, or a candle, which had been consecrated by a priest from one which had not been so blessed. It is said that 11 when a layman places his hand near her face no change in the fixity of her face is observed, but when a priest does the same thing a radiant smile lights up her countenance." Two Anglican clergymen-the Rev JOHN METCALF DAVENPORT, incumbent of St. Andrews, Wolverhampton, and the Rev. W. J. KNOX LITTLE, of St. Thomas's, Regent-street, thought this would be an infallible mode to test the validity of their own orders ;-to discover, in fact, whether they were priests in reality as well as in name, and in the direct line of succession like CARDINAL MANNING himself. They conse- quently visited LOUISE LATEAU, and Mr DAVEN- PORT, writing to the newspapers, states that the new Stigmatisse smiled upon him and upon his brother clergyman Mr LITTLE, just as she smiled upon the seven or eight Roman priests who were present. Now, this would never do it destroyed all the exceptional claims of the Church of Rome to exclu- sive priestly succession and spiritual authority. Consequently the Rev. H. VAN DOORNE, Roman Catholic priest, of Camberwell, wrote to the Roman Catholic cure of Bois d'Haisne to enquire whether LOUISE LATEAU really did smile upon these two English clergymen. The cure has written a reply to the effect that LOUISE knew a great deal better than to do anything of the sort; that while she did really and sweetly smile upon the Catholic priests, not the faintest per- ceptible twinge of the muscles rewarded the English clergymen, or testified to their spiritual legitimacy and authority. Mr DAVENPORT in reply, writes to say that he is perfectly astonished at the manifest dishonesty of the cure," and Mr LITTLE declares that the statement of the cure is absolutely false." This is the style of priestly religion which Roman Catholic ecclesiastics and English Ritualists are doing their utmost to train the mind of England to receive. What that religion will do for England should it ever unhappily become a success in Great Britain may be read in the sad political, social, and moral condition of Spain at the present moment, and in the social and moral condition of other Roman Catholic countries. To accept the teaching of Cardinal MANNING'S sermon at Aberystwith is to accept the terrible results which follow in the wake of that teaching.

BRECON AND MERTHYR RAILWAY COMPANY. The following is the report of the directors to be sub- mitted to the half-yearly meetings of the proprietors, to be held at the Company's offices, Brecon, on Saturday, the 28th August, 1875:- Working Expenditure.—The expenditure on revenue account amounted to X)6,375 19s 9d, against 230,816 4s 3d in the corresponding period of the previous year, being a diminution of e4,440 4s 6d. Net Revenue.—Although the aggregate expenditure, as stated above, has been so greatly diminished, the unpre- cedented falling off in gross revenue (due to entirely ex- ceptional causes) has more than neutralised the effect of such economy. The falling off in gross receipts has arisen from the strikes and lock-out in the &team coal and iron trades, which existed during nearly the whole of the six months under account, and affected, in like manner, all the lines in the neighbourhood similarly situated. The total falling off, as will be seen in the tabulated state- ment in par. 1, is 210,097 7s. 10d., an amount which no economy in working, however rigid, could overtake. It will be observed that the saving in the cost of coal was 21,412 5a. 8d. Having regard to the current expenditure it is satisfactory to be able to announce that the present price of coal (which is one of the most important items in the working charges) is much below that ruling during the last half-year while, withfregard to receipts, it is still more satisfactory to announce that the weekly returns are beginning to show a substantial in- crease over those for the corresponding weeks of 1874. The gross income of the half-year under review has ex- ceeded the expenditure by 2702 19s lid only. This result arises entirely from the exceptional circumstances of the coal and iron trades as already explained. Interest and Dividends.—No payment on account of interest has been made, with the exception of that to the holders of Rumney Preference Shares, whose dividends are a charge upon the gross receipts. With regard to the A" Deben- ture Stock, the amount in arrear is now £ 7,650— the greater part of which there are grounds for hoping may be cleared off by the net earnings of the current six months. Accident Fund.—The usual provision or hzoo permits of a further addition of 266 Is 6d to this Fund. There are no claims for accidents now outstanding, all those referred to in previous re- ports having been settled and provided for in the accounts. Renewals—The locomotive stock has been well main- tained, and the repair of the Company's wagons has been pushed on with such vigour that they are now in a most satisfactory state. The usual provision the permanent way has been made, but only-halt^mie has Seen relaid during the haf-year.

PENARTH HARBOUR, DOCK, AND RAILWAY. The following is the report of the directors to be presented to the proprietors beiug the thit ty ninth half-yearly report with statements of accounts to 30th June, 187H, in the form prescribed by The Regulation of Railways Act. 18(17." Onpital account is charged this I half-year, with 4:10,445 7s C), the I)alarice of tbesolic-itors' accounts in the arbitration with the assignees of Messrs ( Smith and Knight. This account is also charged with a sum of £ C4,15u 2s 8d, the extra cost of the works above Messrs Smith and Knight's contract prices, after deduct- ing the value of the plant and materials sold, and the certificates and retentions due to the contractors, but held by the company as against this extra cuct. The Uiterest accounts have aiso been adjusted. Revenue account still shows a considerable sum to credit. The directors recommend a dividend for the half-year at the rate of 4 pt-r co-nt. per annum, as shown in account No. 11, payable on the 6th of September next. The balance has been expended on capital charges, and will have to be transftrred_ to the credit of that account. The directors will submit to the special general meeting of the proprietors a resolution as to the disposal of the E75,000 shares shown in account No. 2 to be uncalled. WILLIAM SHEWAP.D CART.YIUGHT, Chairman.

THE SIRHOWY RAILWAY COMPANY. On Saturday, the half-yearly meeting of the Sirhowy Railway Company was held, at the Euston Station, London. Mr Benjamin Whitworth. M.P., occupied the chair. There were also present Mr Pochin, Mr Williams, and others. The minutes of the last meeting having been read and confirmed, and other routine transacted, The CHAIRIAX moved, and it was resolved That as the accounts for the past half year are not yet completed, this meeting, and the consideration of the further business for which it was convened, be adjourned until Tuesday, 12th day of October, at noon, at this place." In accordance with previous notice, the meeting was then made special, to consider a proposed working agree- ment with the London and North-Western Railway Company. Mr CHAPLIN, the Solicitor of the Company, produced the agreements which bad been drawn up. He stated that he advised their adoption. He had seen counsel upon the application, and he was clear that the Com- pany might go on with perfect safety. The gist of the agreement was, that the London and North-Western were to pay 10 per cent on the ordinary stock, and 5 per cent on the preference stock of the Company and interest on the debentures; they were also to work the railway effi- ciently. The following resolution was then moved by the Chair- man, seconded, and unanimously adopted :—" Resolved that the agreements now produced between the Company and the London and North Western Railway Company for the maintenance, use, and working by the London and North-Western Company of the undertaking of the Company, and for the other purposes mentioned and referred to in the said agreement be and the same are hereby approved, subject to such alterations as the Railway Commissioners may require and the directors agree to." The proceedings then terminated.

LONDON AND NORTH-WESTERN RAILWAY. The half-yearly meeting of the London and North- Western Railway was held OL Saturday morning in the Hall at the Enston-road Station. Mr R. Moon occupied the chair. The other directors present were Colonel Bourne, M. P., Messrs Bancroft, Cawkwell, G. Crossfield, Melville, Steward, Stephen, Bickersteth, Fletcher, Tip- ping, and King. Mr S. REX): (secretary) read the notice convening the meeting, and the minutes of several special general meetings. The half-year's accounts and report were taken as read. The CHAIRMAN said the report mentions three causes for the failing off of the dividend. Th^first wa< the increased: duty payable to Government, which amounted to 2130,000, of which one-third came out of the pockets of the shareholders as an income- tax. Instead of their obtaining any relief, the Chancellor of the Exchequer had turned the screw on, and doubled-practically more than doubled-the loss which they sustained, and levied an income-tax upon a property specially legislated for. No other property had paid such a tax, and it was an unfair and wrong tax. The Chancellor of the Exchequer did this in order to main- tain his balance, and go in for a sensational Budget, instead of being content with the amount of income he previously had. They would have seen in the estimate for the year that the Chancellor of the Exchequer assumed that he would get C750,000 from the tax this year. Although they hoped and expected that the North London Company would win on appeal in the next Session of Parliament, yet they must not relax ther efforts in attempting to bring the matter before Parlia- ment. The Chancellor had relieved othera-he had taken off the Is duty on corn, and yet he had laid the tax on them. Unless they agitated, and continued to agitate, and every director and shareholder did his best to have the tax withdrawn, they might make up their minds to consider the tax permanent. So far as they were concerned they should worry tho Government into doing what was right; and if the shareholders continued their efforts they would in the end be successful as everybody else would succeed. The next point to which allusion would be made was the loss caused by the responsibility of the Wigan accident being thrown upon them. They set nothing aside considering that they would not be liable. They relied upon the evidence of facts that their signal- man swore to and proved that he had not altered the points, and which was confirmed by his fellow, and which evidence had never been shaken. At the same time they should remember that an officer of the Board of Trade- one who enjoys the highest reputation—Captain Tyler, ignored the possibility of the signalman altering the points. Yet the jury, with the sympathy for the individual againt the corporation, which was common, found the Company liable tor tne accident ana me verdict on behalf of Sir John Anson was debited to the working of the present half-year. There was a furthfr point alluded to, which was the reduction of the first-class fare. That reduction had been a very great loss to their Company. They would remember that the directors promised that they would minimise the loss as far as they were concerned, and they came to the conclusion that three classes were necessary. The alteration that bad been made by a neighbouring Company had induced them to modify the fares of their middle-class, but to continue to run all three. That they had done throughout the whole half- year, and the figures in the main showed that they were justified in that judgment. Their first-class had continued to grow in a natural way, during the past half-year by about 100,000 passengers the second-class had increased by about 254,000 passengers: and the third-class had remained practically stationary. He did not want to Iona allude to what other people were doing. But at the half- yearly meeting of the Midland, the chairman spoke with extreme reserve on the subject, and a reference to the account would show that he was justified in so doing. With regard to the course they had pursued, he might remind them that the North London carried an enormous number of passengers, and for twenty years with only first and second classes. Then, partly through competi- tion, and chiefly owing to the force of circumstances, they were obliged to re-commence with third-class passengers. They therefore believed, and their own experience, and the experience of the NorthjLondon, who resisted for twenty years, justified them in continuing the course which they suggested six months ago. Another point which had increased the expenses was the working of the block system. They had nearly 1,000 miles worked on the block system, and the expense was an increase of 25 per cent. on the working expenses of the line. They did not grudge this, because it added to the safety of the line, Ind accidents always discouraged travelling and dis- credited a line. They had carried between 22,000,000 and 23,000,000 of passengers during the half-year, and only one passenger bad been killed. The passengers' earnings had only gone down Id per mile in consequence of the change, yet the expenses per train mile remained the same, and the loss on the passenger traffic had been redeemed in other ways. The otal profit was one half- peuny per train mile for every mile, run yet the difference in expenses between this period and the corres- ponding period of last year was sixpence per train mile, and that would account for the whole difference, between the returns of the two periods. The earnings were pretty much the same at both periods. They had restored the surplus to what it stood at in December, 11873, and they had every reason to be satisfied with what they had accomplished because they had gone through a period of great trial. (Applause.) The report and statement of accounts were adopted a dividend of k3 2s. 6d. per 2100 stock sanctioned the proposal for new works approved; and an addition of £1,78;),383 and £ 198,655 to the capital of the Company for such purposes was also agreed to. The ordinary meeting then terminated by Mr KiN- N AIRD proposing a vote of thanks to the directors, which was seconded by Col. BIGGE. The meeting was then made special. Mr ADAMS proposed that the directors should be em- powered to petition Parliament in favour of the abolition of the passenger duty. Dr. PINCHEK seconded the resolution, which wan passed. The meeting then passed a series of resolutions enabling the directors to carry out certain works which had been sanctioned by Parliament, and certain agreements entered into with other corapanieb -the Sirhowy amongst the number. The proceedings terminated shortly_after one.
