" We, the archdeacon anti u taeisiined clergy men of the arctideaconry of Middlesex, desire to enure your lordship of our gratitude for the promptitude and taithitulnem with which, in your Mte charge ani in your replies to various deputation., you have telexed the enaracter of the aggres sion made by the Bishop of Rome on the constitution of our country, the prerogatives of the crown, ant the rights and independence of our national church. The cordiality and unanimity with which the laity as well as the clergy came forward to support the sentiments you declared in mat emergency, must give your lordship the most encouraging assurance of co-operation on all occasions which may affect the wel are of the church and the interests of pure religion. "But we should not do justice to our estimate of your lordship's character, if we confined ourselves to the expres sion of our feelings with respect to this the immediate ntject of our address. We gladly avail ourselves of the opportu nity now afforded us to acknowledge publicly the privilege we enjoy in being placed by Providence under the spiritual jarieducuen of a diocesan who, having himself expesienced the difficulties and anxieties of the pastoral Glace in a large metropolitan parish, can so well make allowance for our de ficiencies and advise us in our perplexities. We feel indebted to you (or the readiness with which at all times that advice is riven us; for your munificent support of charitable objects, whether parochial. diocesan, or national ; for your frequent and effective recommendation of such objects from our pulpits ; —for your conti nued and unprecedented exertion to relieve, by the erection of churches, chapel*, and school-roams, the deplorable spiritual destitution of the metropolis and its suburbs ;—and for that unremitting devotedness to the hum. riot. of your arduous office, from which the most diligent among us have still much to learn. " We fervesly pray that the Divine gotelness may long preserve your health and mental powers, and enable you to preside with undiminished energy over the diocese, which, during twenty.two years of more than erdinary, eta:silty, has had the ben, fit of your spiritaal guidance. " We have the honour to b:, with much respect, your lordship's most faithful and obedient nts." Tee right rev. prelate delivered the following reply: " Rev. rend ant dear Brethren,—l; is highly satisfactory and encouraging to me, to receive a renewed assurance of your affection and respect. 1 need at all times all the sup port which it is in your power to *Herd me, by ycur sym pathy, your co-cperation, and your prayers; but I need It tapecially at this ECLIOI2 of morn than ordinary diffizul:y ; when our clearer is assaicel from without, and troubled from within • when persons, holding oppqsite and e :quote opinions, are loud and hitter in their mutual censures ; while bath are forward to heap r, pr• ach upon thee; who endeavour to keep an mu course of moderation and forbeararce. " The recent aggression of the Bishop of Rome upon the rights acd independence of our national church, and upon the prerogative of our Sovereign, has stirred up in the very depths of the nation'. heart a feeling of asWinshment and indignation which is fully justified by the occasion, bat which, if it be not reguliteil by just 'and consistent prin ciples, and auided to legitimate ends, may overflow its pr. per bounds, and endanger the real safeguards of our pro testant faith. "The cordial unanimity with which both the laity and clergy have come forward, to protest against the papal act of aggression, does indeed tumors ge us to hope, that, as far as it depends upon the sentiments of the great body of the people, the interests of pure religion, and toe welfare of our Whim:led Church, wh:ch is its chief stronghold, have little to fear. It will be our duty, as ministers of that church, to be more than ever active in citifying nut the designs ot its institutions ; in dispensing, the putts Word cf God, and his holy Sacraments: in maintaining it. apostolical order and godly ducipline, neither falling short of its wholesome rules, nor gong beyond them. "Hat it is more esceetally incumbent upon us at the pre sent cried., carefully to abstain from doing or saying any thing, whether in our public or our private micas:rat:ma, which may wear the 'eueblace of an intended approach to the distinctive doc•einee or discipline of an erring and corrupt church ; from using language which may appear to semboliza with its teaching; and from reviving practices. which were purposely rejected and laid aside by our own church at the time of its Reforniati.n. "This duty I have urged upon the clergy in my visitation charges of 1b12,1846, and 1850; in every one of which I censured, in the strongest terms, all attempts to fraternise, with It 'wish error or superstition; and all ritual innovations introduced, as it is said, with the design of making our own church approach more nearly to what is termed 'the catho lic standard; that is, in fact, the standard of the church of home; not that which our reformers believed to be the standard of holy scripture and of primitive antiquity. " The di.approvol of all such attempts, whicn I have ex pressed in public to the clergy at large of my diocese, I have also signified in my priests admonitions and comas Is to these iodiveluals amongst oem who have been mast inclined to ritual pcculiarihu, sanctioned neither by the church'. order, nor by lung.est eblishen custom. " The present crisis, which has brought the church of Eng land into more direct and immediate conflict with that of Rome, has made it my duty to speak still more op .nly and strongly ; anti to endeavour, by all the means in my power, to chece the growth of practices, which 1 firmly believe, in every instance are likely to smooth the way for a transition to the Roman communion, and in some instances 1 fear, are indicative of opinions, CO the pert of those w ho usethem, which are at variance with the doctrines of our reformed church. I cannot but suspect, that many of the forms which have been of late introduced into the celebration of the holy communion, are the expressions of belief in a doctrine, em phatically denied by the church of England, and are nothing less than acts of adoration done to the supposed corporal presence of the body and blood of our Saviour Christ. " The use of these forms, together with other observances, copied from the practices of the Rcmieh priesthood, induces unlearned people to think that, atter ali, there is no such great difference between the reformed church and that of Rome k and that the passing from one to the other is merely a question of believing or practising a little more or a little Ise; not one which nearly concerns their eternal salvation. "It is for this reason, that, while I object to any needless departures from the prescribed order of tne English church, in the way of either defect or excess, 1 thick the fault of exceu is the more dangerous of the two, where it tends to countenance the superstitions of the church of Rome; and less defensible, both on that account, and as not having long established custom to plead in ex use, as is the cue with certain faults of defect, such as the disuse of the Offertory and of the Prayer for the Church Militant, on Sundays when there is no Communion. No such excuse, however, will serve to defend omissions which involve any point of doc trine, or which the law and custom of the church elate con demn. But though I deo:re to put • stop to those observances and forms, which are neither autherised by the church's order, nor sanctioned by long-establised practice, 1 must still adhere to the opinion, which I have before expressed, that the Rubric should be usupulouly observed, when no insuperable diffieulty steads in the way. " You have alluded, in terms of kind approval, to the effort which I have made to lessee the fearful amount cf spiritual destitution in this vast metropo is, by procuring the erection of additional churches and 'chola Great re non have Ito be thankful to God for the moues with which he has been pleased to bless that effort. By means of the me tropolis churches fund, sixty-three new churches, with many parsonages houses and schools, have been erected in London and its suburbs; and the happy results which have followed from that work of charity, may well encourage us to perse vere in our endeavours to multiply the means and sppliaoces by which the pure iteht of gospel truth may be diffused through the darkest hiding-places of ignorance and vice, and the blessings of Christie's civilisation may be carried home to multitudes, who are now in a state almost of barbarism and heathenism. This will be the most effectual, I may say the only effectual method of resisting the inroads of popery, and of checking the growth of infidelity and socialism: and this cannot be done without the general and cordial co-operation of the *terry. " I earnestly recommend to your consideration the neers• city of raising additional funds for the erection of more churches end schools; and, which is of greater moment still, for sending more clergymen into our neglected and benighted districts. Greatly should I rejoice, it the encl. dilutes of Mergers who will come amongst us during the ensuing year, should find us engaged, with one hurt and purpose, in proutering this great wort of piety and charity ; in advancing the honour of God's holy name, and extending ' the boundaries of the ltedeemee'a kingdom; proving c u'- selves to be not only a powerful and prosperous, but • truly aril:lan nation ; that so they might ' report that God is in SI of a truth.' " I am sensible that I have exceeded the customary limits of au answer to an address ; but the great importance of the questions upon which I have touched, and the interest which they excite at the present moment, will be my excuse. ' Let me, in conclusion, offer to you my grateful acknow ledgment of your kind whites for the continuance of that heath and 6:meth for which I hue so much num to be thankful to the Giver of all Goad ; and enure you that I "ball not cease to pray to him, that he may be pleased to pour down upon you, and upon ell who are committed to your charge, the abundant dew of his blueing.

Before reading t►e address, the archdeacon said—My lord, I am desirous, in the name of the rural deans, as well as in my own, to express the gratification we derive front the p neral cordiality with which, at this critical period, oar pro posal to address your lordship has been responded to. Not only do the signatures include a large proportion of those clergymen who hold the most important and inOrpeadent positions in the arcbdeaconry ; but they are accompanied in many cams with private letters, intimating the satisfection which the writers have d ' d from the opportunity afforded them of testifying their affection and respect for their diocesan. I may add, that those whose names do not appear did not receive my circular, which has been returned to me from the post office, and that others have declared verbally, or in writing, their deep regret that the introduction of some expression which they could not concur in has debarred them from the privilege of subscribing a document, of which, "111 all other ?upsets, they c,rdially approve."

Although the family are liberal. almost'ultra Lberal, in politics, this was not of course thought of while dispensing hospitality, and the whole of the tory families of suitable rank in the neigh- bourhood participated in that hospitality. Prom the in- fluence which the family naturally acquired in the neigh • booting town, by means of their kindness and wealth, the husband was solicit. d by the inksOitants a few months age to become their representative in parliament. This he de- alined, but he recommended an intimate friend professing similar politics as himself, who was after a desperate contest, elected. In this ccatest both the noble lady and her husband took an active and comp none part. Now, the represettoticn of this town had el- ways been in the hanCe of the tery families in the neighbourhood, sad they were emoted beyond description to find it taken from them. They studied what Malta and slights they could safely ea is the family that had sup- planted them, so as to arty aod drive them from the neiehl»urhcod. It appears 'hat an ettacAr of one of the most diatieguished foreign embattles in London, and who is intimately related to • pmcceiy temily, had been introduced to the lady by her husband', uncle as an eminent =usual amateur ' and One who was cotoetent and woul.t be willing to assist her ladyship in getting up her musical parties. He was of course truoed with the utmost kinuness by the family, and became a convert guest. Abut two menthe since he, presuming on the noble lily's frank and unsuspect- ing disposition, offered her a ,rasa nod unmistakeable insult. A.tontsbed at the outrage, the summoned her husband who was in a distant part of the how, to bee protection, and he immediately knorbed the scoundrel down and kicked him ignominiously from the mansion. The lady's political enemies have fabricated shameful insinuations from this cir- cumstance, but with such teenios as proves that their cowardice equals their maliontty, and they have just now had the audacity to exclude the lady's name from amongst tee list of peroteares to a public hall. The peel' spite bell, as it is o toted, was to come off last night. In the meantime the inhabitants of the neighbouring town have _ taken the matter up, and, ens evening lest week, when the noble lady (n•ible by birth and by many gifts and virtues) entered the Polytechnic lnsti 'alien in the town, en institu. tion of which ehe is a munificent patroness, the auditing rime en masse, greeted her wiilz toe most entheorastic t heer- leg, and spoke unmistakeably what they thought of her enemies."

This increase is c-nsiderable, and must be attrimool in tart to the character of the weather, which has hien unfavourable to the public health ; but, as in the pievieue week, it is sloe due to some , coroners' returns, which were not completed, as regards re- gistratioe, when the inquests were held, but have been accumulatine till the and of the quarter.
