THE old Catholic Cbapel in Sansom-

.place, Worcester, baying become ,too 
,small 10, contain the numerous and in-
-creasing Catholic congregation of tbat 
town, was pulled down in ]828, and tbe

feet long and 40 feet broad. The prjll-

Order. It bas two fluted columns dis-
'posed in antis, the ante ' being orna· 
meuted with four pilasters, Iwo on each 
1Iide of tbe porcb. In the frieze, there 
are biglypbs, and in Ibe tympannm of 
,the pediment Ihere isa plain C1"058. Over 

Deactdlflen

CiPlll part deserving of lI'otice is the al ·

with two Ionic' colnmns and t~· o pilas-

~hi\lk it nO, shame to value an Agnlls D'ai , 
or a piece of hlest palm. , 
, BlIt no'thinlr rlemonstmtes the ,. cool, 
placid, u1ll'ufiled ilI.pudence of the Re-
,formaUon gentt'y" so clearly" as the way 
i n which they talk of Catholics, with al~ 
the guilt and barharity of the Reformers, 
and all the merits and sufferings of their 
victims staring them full in the face, 
Even the Rev: Richard Warner, who had 
so cleal'ly descl'ibed the supel'iol'ity of the' 
monkish ages in architectural design and 
performance ;, who cell!br,ales the her'oislll 
and [religious constancy of a Woman whom 
no Protestant could match; and who, ill 
vadous parts of his volumes, br'ings for-
ward evidence enough of the talents of 
t he m'onastic recluses, abd of the piety of 
the people in general, e'ven ,he lanches 
forth, now and theil, into a struin of as 
C901, ,pladd, and nni'ufHed impndellce" 
'l'especting 'what he is pleased ,to call the 
idleness, vo.1uptuousness, and spiritual 
tyranny of monks, as allY cllampion of , 
.ecclesiastical spoliation and di.lapidation 
could have done befOl'e him, It seems 
as if these Reformation 'gentry were ile ~ 
priveJ 'o'f the faculty, of drawing .conclu: 
sions from facts; as 'if tller could 1I0t 
perceive, that the men who designed, and 
erected, ami paid for the 'buildillg of so 
many stupendous alld beaatifill mdnu~ 
Ihents ot piety and skill, could neithei' 
llave been" ignorant, nor idle, nor pro-
~igate, nor voluptuous," The ignorant 
.cannot conceive in their lI.inds such 
splenrud edifices, much less make the de~ 
i;igns for the w,hdle, and for every part, 
of their intrkatelf scientific construction: 
The idle would not take the tmuble to de-
Sign them, if they conld, or overlook the 
masons and instruct them how to proceed, 
The profligate would laugh at spending 
such vast s,ums of I!-loney upon the se'rvice 
of God '. and the voluptuou~ , would COII-
sUllle evel'y thing on theil' pleaSUres. 
Our own senses convince us, that the 
mon'ks and clergy of the middle ages 
must have been men of science, lovers of 
knowledge, and devoted to the service of 
God and' the people'. ' No dOlibt, amongst 
so IJirge a body, there were some ,mem, 
hers \jad enough ;-there are scoundrels 
in every class of 'saciety;-but we have 
buildings, and books', aUd historic testi-

, moniel!, enough t,o 'prO\'e that the great 
bulk of the eccleiiastlcs, and of the reli-
g ious OI'(lers, were , men of learning, in-
dustry, fruga'lity ,'and charity, With that 
singular incomistency which those per-
I' 

SOliS who, it is pro~e i'bial1y said: " ought 
to have good memories," always betray, 
W!U;l)er tells us, in one place, (vol. H. !l11 
that" III most convents the monks blld 
regular scribes , ,who were cOll'tinually 
employt\d , 'in trill1scribil!g books" coin: 
piling' histories, 'and forin!lig a nnals'of the 
events that daily occurred; and in ano-
'tlIei' place, thllt the priory of Christchurch 
had. "from the, earlier times (as appears 

'from Richa rd de Reclvers's confirmation 
of ' its, ancient rights) the scola or sr.hool 
of, tbe ' tp.wn. in which the chil!lren of 
the place . and country at'OIIllc1 receiyed 
'that rude kind of education the times at'-
fonleJ, fmm the monks of Christch~rch;" 
yet, when mounted on his Protestant 
bobby of anti·p'oflery, he run,s riot ill silly 
and groundless vituperation, He tells us 
(i. 275) that monasteries " ,held out se-' 
duci'ng temptations to the idle, the pro-
fligate, 'and the sensual," and that the , 
monks" passed their own lives, either in 
the ',vacuity of iQclolence, or in tJle prac-
tice of sensual indulgences ,; while the de-
luded crowd' around, were kept in awe by 
the' telTOl'S of a gloomy superstition ... • 
Amazing' to think of it! The very men 
who, 'by his o'wn acconnt, have left such 
Imperisliable monuments oftheir scientific 
acquirements, their Ind,ustr~, their piety , 
and their munificence, and who were en-
gaged in teaching the children of their 
vicinity (fol' thi~ was done ~y most of 
the monasteries, if not all) ; ,these very 
men "are idle, profligate, and seu5ual, 
and pass t'1leir lives, either in indoleoce,ol' 
voluptuous indulgences"! 0 ye divlnit\es 
of nonsense and absurdity, assuredly ·ye 
are the special patrons of Protestant an-
tiquarians! Cool, placid, umuffled im-
-pudence. Truly; William Cobbett, of 
parson-quashing illllnOl'tality-truly di~st 
thou designate the peculiar talent of the 
Reformation genh'y! May a colossal 
statue, of ten times molten 'brass, be 
erected to thy honour, that even 'thy effigy 
may reflect upon the , faces "of ' the "Re-
formation gentry," the 'liue 'of that metal 
which is synibolical of impel'turba\Jle im-
pudence '! MONANDER.

fituess for one of the highest positionS'to \vliie'h 

sake, 110 distance of land 01' sea, no 'tillle nor ' 
dignity, can efface from my memory, the IUip-
Py and useful retirement of my collegiate ca-1 

reer. iTies of-a sacred" personal and interest-' 
iug character, secure for you the richest'be.· 
nedictions of'my episcopal bffice , arid'the most 
valuable wishes of my beart. Many of the 
dearly beloved youths I see' around me, are 
my spiritual children in the ILord-between 
me and them there is a relatiouship stronger 
than that of flesh and blood; a holy link which 
their ' spiritual ' direction in the tribunal of 
confession has created, and which no human, 
event clm break-a bond which will stim,ulate 
me frequently to pray that the innqcent aud 
ardent ilpirits who first felt the dominion of 
grace over'nature, 'tlirough'lriy ministry" may 
continue to experience 'a practical love for 
virtue, and a rever,ence for those Catholic and 
con.,oling sacraments w\lich, whilst tlley pu~ 
rify the 'affectious; enlighten and console the 
understanding of the young arid the aged sin- . 
nero It is natural and reasonable that the di-
rector of y6ur early though'ts. who cheered on 
~h~ desponding with hopes of !Iea~enly mercy, 
or mfused'the just fears of endless torments 
for unrepented iniquity, should anxiously ask 
at the throne of the Lamb for abundant and ef-
ficacious graces to guide you safely through 
.the quick-sands and bitter waters of future 
,life, ~hen the s~lfislll~ess, corruption an~ in-
sl/Icenty of a depraved world shall partlally 
obliterate the holy impressIons which a good 
education indelibly traces on the: ,youthful 
mind. Besides this strong and tender soliel.' 
tude, many amongst you arc rendered de'ar to 
mc from the personal intimacy and ' regard ' 
which I :entertaio tpwards yourpl\fe,nts and 
friellds, with whom I have li:Yed Oll'terms of 
~oeiiil and, christian friendship; when labour!. 
109 humbly. but r trust usefully, on' the dio-
'cess of Cork. 1 I have attended at your exa-
inin,ations and Ii terary exercises; and" I do 
fondly hope that the ' proofs of industry, and 
talen"t, - so generally 'cxhihited, are ce'i'tl,lio 
pledges of eminence, IlOnesty/ and utiIityi'll'

your parents and yourselves may select when 
your studies are completeil in this seminary~ 
1'he extent; solidity, and variety ,of 'your 
knowledge in sciimce, language, and h'istbri: 
'have often astonished, and always delighted' 
me; ' ilOd I pay this tribute to you, 'and your 
inastcI:s, the'more \villingly, as I am at'pre~en~ 
totally unconnecfed in station, and 1 may'add, 
in country a\sb, .with tbe future prosperity 
or decline of Carlow College, which bas given 
'as many enlightened, virtuous, and honour-
'ab!~ men to soci_eti imd religion, as any other 
institution, foreign or dome"stie, which has 
'sprung up eitlier as 'rivalsor fellow labourers , 
in the la)' and ecclesiastical education of Irish ' 
Catholic Y~utb. In 'tlie cxpressions bf your' 
'address there is sOllie exaggeration. I feel 
the full fOl'ce of your partiality in the tel'ms 
used by you in reference to Illy talents, vir-
tues, and other qoalifications for tIle epi.co-
'psl office and hOllours. If I fail in I'caliziug
