LANCASHIRE.

The following address, to the gentlemen, merchants, and other inhabitants, of Liverpool, soliciting subscriptions for the establishment of a seminary in this country for the education of Roman Catholics, has been published -"From the operation of laws which origina. ted in difference of religious opinion, the Catholics of this country were, during the Jast and the preceding century, compelled to seek in foreign countries an education which they were hot allowed to receive at home, from professors of their own religious belief. Much money was necessarily expend. ed in forming establishments, where those, who were afterwards destined to become teachers of others, might pass the earlier years of their lives in the retirement necessary for the acquisition of religious and scientific information. These establishments were most numerous in France, and, as belonging to natives of this country, they sunk beneath the spirit of antipathy to every thing British; which, since the third year of the revolution, has been a leading feature in the character of

[ocr errors]

each of the motley succession of rulers by whom that unfortunate country has been governed. The sweeping influence of Gallic politics has necessarily involved the ruin of similar places of education established in the other nations of Europe, which in their turns, have fallen under the dominion of France. The evil thus produced is not confined in its operation to a few individuals, but must, in its consequence, affect the interest of the nation; as thereby a very nu merous class of the inhabitants of this island is deprived of teachers in the most important of sciences, that by which they are instruct ed, that their business in life is to render themselves useful to their fellow sojourners upon earth, that by so doing they may ensure the future favour of Heaven. A few members of some of these institutions, encouraged by the softened temper of the laws, have associated themselves for the purpose of forming at Ampleforth, in Yorkshire, an establishment, where a British education may be given to those, whose future business in life it will be to impart instruction to that considerable portion of the British Empire which professes the Roman Catholic Religion. But the efforts of individuals must, of necessity, be confred, and they feel themselves compelled to appeal to the benevolence of the public. Had their object been any personal emolument, delicacy would have prevented the application. They venture to extend their appeal beyond the limits of their own religious persuasion, because they are convinced, that though the spheres of orthodoxy claimed by the professors of various faiths in this country cannot be made concentric, there is not a nation upon the face of the earth where, individually, each man is so soli. citous to do the good work by which man is proved to be the brother of man. To the inhabitants of this wealthy town whose cha ritable institutions rise pre-eininent in a nation famed for its attention to the wants of the indigent and distressed, they have been induced to appeal, by the persuasion of some of its most respected characters. The delicacy they felt in laying their case before gentle. men to whon, they are in some measure strangers, and differing from themselves in belief, has been removed by the suggestion, that minds truly charitable feel satisfaction in the discovery of new objects for the exercise of their benevolence. That the indulgence of such feelings is accompanied by temporal advantage, is evinced by the flourishing state of this favoured town; and that a liberal extension of charity has the approbation of heaven we have high authority for believing --when the Jews interfered in behalf of the Centurion, who had besought Jesus to come and heal his servant, they insured success to their interference, by saying, "he is worthy for whom thou shouldst do this, for he loveth our nation, and he hath built us a Synagogue" Luke vii. 5.-Subscriptions will be received
