shadowed. Under the assaults of Rationalism, it would year by year lose some parts of the great deposit of the Catholic faith. Under the attacks of Rome, it would lose many of those whom it can ill spare, because they believe most firmly in the verities for which she is ready to witness. Thus it might continue until our ministry were filled with the time-serving, the ignorant, and the unbelieving; and, when this has come to pass, the day of final doom cannot be far distant. How such evils are to be averted is the anxious question of the present day. The great practical question seems to us to be that to which we have before this alluded,*—How the Supreme Court of Appeal can be made fitter for the due discharge of its momentous functions? We cannot enter here upon that great question. But solved it must be, and solved upon the principles of the great Reformation statutes of our land, which maintain, in the supremacy of the Crown, our undoubted nationality; which, besides maintaining this great principle of national life, save us from all the terrible practical evils of appeals to Rome, and yet which maintain the spirituality of the land, as the guardians under God of the great deposit of the Faith, in the very terms in which the Catholic Church of Christ has from the beginning received, and to this day handed down in its completeness, the inestimable gift.

NOTE.

We are glad to correct an erroneous statement in our last number
(p. 186), that while the machinery for teaching is ampler, yet the
payments for the pupils in the Lower School at Eton are higher than
in the Upper School. The fact is, that in the only house which
receives Lower School boys exclusively-the Rev. J. W. Hawtrey's-
those boys are boarded and educated for 100l., which is less by 201.
than the charge for the Upper School. We learn with satisfaction
that French is to be steadily cultivated at Eton.
