      Free Congregations , who desired that his dead chxld should be buried according to the ritual of the Free Church . The man obeyed the summons , was kept in custody for a length of time , and when liberated he ascertained that two officers had entered his dwelling , forced themselves into the room where his wife was lying dangerously ill , and took away the child to bury it in the Catholic cemetery according to the old ritual . Such is a specimen of the cruelties committed by the Catholic clergy against Diesenters in the countries where the Government permits them power to do so . And yet , forsooth , Cardinal Wiseman and the Irish Papal clergy presume to speak of persecution by a Protestant Legislature , when they find it necessary to prevent England being tyrannized over by a Pope .

      In spite of all these persecutions , the Free Congregations of Austria held to their faith . In Vienna alone , the members numbered ten thousand souls in the beginning of this year . This growth and spread of reformation principles caused the ministry of Schwarzenberg to dispense with the first article of that constitution which was granted b y the reigning monarch , and which guaranteed religious liberty to all Austrian subjects , * and the Free Congregations were suppressed in August , 1851 . in this to

      While the Austrian Ministry tries way suppress the principles of the Reformation in Germany , it at the same time endeavours to revenge itself on the English People and Government , seeking to withdraw attention from the stateof the Continent , creating domestic embarrassments by supporting the Irish Catholic clergy in their reactionary and violent tendencies ; for it need hardly be remarked that the Pope and his councillors are mere tools in their hands . Cardinal Wiseman was congratulated officially by Austria , though not publicly , at the end of last year . I would even speak more plainly , that there is no doubt that this Cardinal was directly sent to England by Austria . Can there be a shadow of a doubt , with striking facts of the progress of Popery , that the waves of the counter-revolution of the Continent have already , '

      washed the soil of Great Britain ? May this Protestant nation be warned in time , and not look apathetically on the religious persecutions of Germany ! Is this a time for slumber ? Austria is the vassal of Russia ; Russian barbarism and Roman Jesuitism will poison the morals of nations . Let the English nation bear this in mind , that Catholic Absolutism having subjected the chief Protestant power of Germany , will never cease to cast its revengeful eye on England . Let the People of England and the United Siates of America endeavour , by every means within their power , to support the principles of religious liberty in Germany , and oppose with all their might this suppression of the Free Congregations in that country . Give us an active sympathy and support for these principles , and the Reformation will find its way to Ireland and to Italy .

      In conclusion , sir , permit me briefly to explain a double position which I have taken in the agitation for religious liberty . As the founder of the * ' Free Congregations" of Germany I stand on a purely religious ground ; there I have nothing to do with any political partyv But while I am thus contending for the principle of religious liberty , and the right of self-government for all Christian confessions , I have deemed it to be my duty as well as interest to enter into a closer connection with those leaders of

      the German popular party who have embraced the same principles . I therefore , sir , take this opportunity of Htating , that in both these capacities—as the founder of the Free Congregations , and as a member of the German Agitation Union of London , I shall continue my publication of facts which bear on tho religious liberty of the continent of Europe . I am , sir , your obedient servant , Johannes Honoh . Letters sent to me to the above address will receive every attention , and be answered by any information desired . I am to bo found at home on Fridays from 11 to 12 o ' clock .
