The prospectus says: "There is no man in the British empire, be he ever so indifferent or impartial, who can deny or gainsay the alarmingly rapid increase of Popery in this island; chapels, assuming the appearance of churches, or even cathedrals, and colleges, are rearing their heads in all parts of the country, to an extent which, without a strict investigation of the subject, the people of Protestant England could scarcely believe. There are at this King's College; Shaen, University College; Stansfeld, ditto.

COLLEGE. moment in existence not less than FIVE HUNDRED Roman Catholic chapels--if chapels they are yet to be called-and nine Roman Catholic colleges in England alone! Three of which magnificent colleges, St. Peter's, St. Paul's, and St. Gregory's, have been founded in this one single county of Somerset. These must be taken as signs of the times; as awful warnings of approaching evil; as tangible evidence of the wide and increasing spread of that faith and those doctrines which are at open variance with the principles of our pure and holy religion, for the establishment and in the support and vindication of which our blessed ancestors were content to die." The College has our best wishes for its success. MARRIAGES. D. Maude, Esq.

"Q" is informed that the Episcopal Church of America consists at present of 18 Bishops, and nearly 900 Clergymen ; who support five times more papers and periodicals to advocate their cause than we do. "X." will observe that his article has not been overlooked; but the multiplicity of our correspondence renders it utterly impossible for us to insert every communication immediately after its reception. We are only able to publish one of the many letters sent us respecting Dr. Hampden, this month. "Clericus," who thinks our trumpet gives a doubtful sound on a particular point, is requested to watch the proceedings of the papists. We confess we have doubts and fears of the orthodoxy, or rather strength of mind, of some who should be watchmen. "L." It is our intention, when practicable, to confine articles to half a sheet; by which means a greater variety of matter will be secured. D. I. E." The very interesting and important account of the Salisbury Church Building Association was unfortunately mislaid till too late for insertion. "J. C. E." will always be acceptable. " "SOUTHAMPTON was received, and found most useful. THE CHRISTIAN REMEMBRANCER" has this month completed its twentieth year; and we hope and believe has done good service to the great cause in which it has, during that lengthened period, been engaged. To our friends and supporters we offer our cordial thanks for past favours: and trust they will not relax their exertions, but enable us to commence the new year with increased prospects of utility; feeling, as we do, that the UNITED CHURCH OF ENGLAND and IRELAND never stood in greater need of a STANCH AND TRIED FRIEND. Our Readers will observe an error in the paging of our last Number; pp. 691 to 700 being omitted. There is, however, no omission of matter. |
