It appeared that she was walking one day on the strand at Dingle when a large group of boys who were at play began to call out her name in an insulting way, and then proceeded to throw sand and pebbles at her. She was struck on the neck with a stone, which inflicted a bruise. One of the boys, who appeared as a witness for the crown, deposed that when she was passing one of the traversers said, " That is the lady that gave money to the boys, and Father Owen spoke of her last Sunday at mass.' They then, he said, began to shout after her, and one asked her for a penny, saying that if she gave it they would leave her alone.

The vibration of the wheel had also alarmed the plaintiff's family by throwing down of the ceiling, and shaking the casements. The defence was, that the trade was a lawful one, in which the noise was unavoidable. The sheriff stated that no one had a right to carry on any trade, howeVer lawful, to the injury and annoyance of his neighbour.— The Builder. _ of 100 tierc LAND SPECVLATIONS AT BIRKENHEAD. - In the Vice- Chancellor's Court, on Thursday, before Lord Cran- htr firs, journed 3 cardidal return to —TnIIRSDA ned by M having token an oath, the effec se those functions Cardinal Wia the s] he Mc that tl barely Lord MA of Lord P, to exert tits to t GRAHA lan,,ia2.

He also cont ra di c t e d t h e statement of Mr. Reynolds as to Miss Talbot, who was in reality a pos tulant in the convent at Taunton.—Mr. REYNOLDS adhered to his former statement, and expressed his surprise that Lord J. Russell had not, on the previous evening, condemned the lan guage of Mr. Drummond. —Lord J. RUSSELL said he was not in the house when it occurred, and he therefore thought it bet ter to leave the matter in the hands of the Speaker.—Admiral BERKELEY said the hon. member for Dublin had charged his brother with falsehood, and had attributed to him the motive the.t his only object in interfering with Miss Talbot's position was with a view to her property. This statement he dared not have made had his brother been still a member of the house.— Mr. REYNOLDS said he had not attributed falsehood to the gallant admiral's relative.—Lord ARUNDEL and SURREY said, that as the case was to come before the Lord Chance! or next clay, he regretted it should have been again mooted in that kouse.—Sir B. HALL read a letter from a Catholic bishop, stating that the Lord Chancellor had directed that Miss Talbot should be educated in the Taunton convent. It was subse quently discovered that she could not enter that convent except as a postulant; and, to remove this difficulty, Miss Talbot had herself asked to be admitted as a postulant.—Mr. M.

The question is, whether the defendant is bound to complete a contract or the purchase of land at Birkenhead, the plan for laying out the site of the neigh bouring lands not having been carried into effect. His lordship said the question was one purely of fact—whether the defendant had purchased with the view of being in the nature of a co-speculator with reference- to the con templated improvements, or whether his contract was subject to the proposals for laying out the neighbouring ground being accomplished. He would look into the ess of that republic. The aboriginal I evidence. POLITICAL MISCELLANY. Five hundred of the electors of Drogheda have signed l address, which has been transmitted to Sir William )mprville, calling on him to resign his seat for their bo- rough. On Friday, Sir W. Payne Galiwey, Bart., was returned for the borough of Thirsk, on Protestant and Protection ist principles, without opposition, in the room of the late John Bell, Esq. A requisition has been presented to the Marquess of Blandford, requesting him to allow himself to be put in nomination for the county of Oxford, in the event of a dissolution of parliament. On Wednesday a deputation, headed by Mr. Ewart, M.P., had an audience with Lord John Russell on the subject of the repeal of the advertisement duty. Atter a patient bearing Lord John Russell said the deputation had made out a strong case ; but he must remind them that there were other classes of tax-payers who had an equally strong claim upon him. Mr. Alderman Salomons addressed the electors of Greenwich on Tuesday, when he announced himself as a candidate for the representation of that borough. The honourable alderman pledged himself that, if returned, he would immediately claim his right as a Jew to sit in the House of Commons, and take all the risk of a prosecution for so doing. FREE-TRADE LIBERALITY.—We were lately in an eastern county, where we found wages generally reduced to Gs., where they formerly were Ms. But we found bread reduced only from 6d. to sd. This was on a general view. But we met with one case which placed the blessings of free-trade to the poor man in a strong light. A Manchester manufacturer had bought an estate which was in the market. He had obtained a loan from government of £3,000 for improvements. He was set ting men to work in draining the estate. But the weekly wages he offered were from 3s. 6d. to ss. per man. And , if the men refused these wages, word was sent to the poor board, and when they applied for relief they were told, " You have been offered work,—we can give you no relief here."—Herald. PROTECTION AGAINST FOREIGN FLOUR.—The grand jury of the South Riding of Tipperary have signed peti tions to both houses of parliament, stating that the im mense import of foreign flour has totally ruined the great trade which once existed in Ireland in the manufacture of flour. That the extensive mills in that country, as large as the English cotto n mills, are comparatively idle, and the hands turned off. That flour being imported at the same duty as wheat, gives the Frenchman a bonus over the British millowners of Is. 7d. a sack, and to the Odessa merchant is. ld., and they pray for a protecting duty to place them on a level, a t l eas t, w ith th e f ore i gn er. It IS remarkable that this petition is signed by six grand jurors, among others, who hitherto have been free-traders and whigs. THE ESSEX AGRICULTURISTS.—The following placard is now visible in many parts of Essex :—" A Proclamation to our worthy Labourers.—We, the neighbouring farmers, deeply deplore our inability to continue the present rate of wages to our worthy labourers ; the fact is, we cannot afford it. Free trade has brought us into close competi tion with foreigners who pay so little money for labour, that dark bro wn r y e b rea d, s ki m m ilk, c h eese , an d a f ew ' onions, are all the men get. With these foreign serfs, who are bought and sold with the land, like cattle, are we now contending in our own markets. Much as we de plore it, we are obliged manfully to tell you, that if we are to give you constant employment, we cannot pay you the present wages.

A FRENCH ROMANCE.—A few days since a medical man named Philippe died in a village near Paris, where he had resided many years, and had acquired a great re putation for skill and probity. He never demanded any remuneration, ex2ept from those who were in circum stances to be able to pay him ; and during the last visit of the cholera he was indefatigable in his attention to the suffering poor. Last ;ear an Englishman, travelling in that part of the country, was taken so suddenly ill, that as obliged to stop at an inn in the commune, and Dr. t fnr _ Scarcely, however, had he arrived pe was —tie of his patient, when the latter became vio lently agitated, and at once ordered every one out of the - When that was done, the door was locked on the 4e. The landlady, being curious to know what was going on, listened at the door, but the conversation was carried on in a language which she did not understand ; she, however, heard the patient exclaim in French, " assassin ! assassin !" after which a violent altercation nncared to threaten, and the doctor to sniff.' at the-beds ?plicate him ; the latter afterwards left the room, and went into the kitchen, where he prepared some medicine, which he ordered to be given to the patient several times during the night. On the following day the stranger was much worse, and feeling his end approaching, he made a sign for a pen, ink, and paper, and wrote a few words in English, which the landlady gave to the mayor of the commune, who, not understanding the language, threw it aside into a drawer, where it was for gotten. The stranger died the same evening. A few days since the mayor, when called on to register the death of the doctor, who in his turn had paid the debt of hu manity, thought of this paper, and on his showing it to his nephew, who understood the language, it was found that Dr. Philippe was no other than the famous Patieson, a noted robber of the United States, ail trace of whom bad been long lost. The Englishman had recognized him as a man who had, 20 years before, attempted to murder him, whil e travelling in the State of Vermont, in America. The mayor immediately proceeded the house of Dr. Philippe, to institute an inquiry.

The Church and State Gazette says that the Rev. J. H.

Two presentations of plate, amounting together to £3OO in value, were made to the Rev. Mr. Hawes, in cumbent of Kingsomborne, on Tuesday last, at a public dinner of the clergy and laity. About forty gentlemen sat down, the Hon. and Rev. S. Best in the chair. The Duke of Wellington, Chancellor of the University of Oxford, has, it is stated, signified to the Board of Heads of Houses at Oxford, that if tLey should, in pur suance of the legal opinions obtained from certain barris ters, petition the Crown against the Commission of In quiry to the Universities, they are to do so through the Secretary of State, instead of through himself as Chan cellor. THE Tansy or BURIAL.—The Morning Advertiser states that a petition is in course of signature (it has already received 5,000 names) by the clergy, to be pre sented to the archbishops and bishops, praying that the burial service may be revised and amended, inasmuch as its indiscriminate use " imposes a heavy burden upon the conscience of the clergy, and is the occasion of a griev ous scandal to many Christian people." Ofie of the clergy recommends to his brethren that each of them should, before reading the form over a supposed unworthy character, make a publie declaration that he reads it only because " compelled by law to do so." THE BISHOP OF LONDON AND THE INNOVATORS.— A letter from Lord Robert Grosvenor, dated February 20, appears in the Times, asking the Bishop of London what further steps he had taken to repress the rubrical griev ances complained of in other places besides Mr. Bennett's churches at Knightsbridge. Lord Robert acknowledges the faithfulness with which the Bishop has carried out the spirit of his late charge " against the new forms and ce remonies which have been introduced into our accustomed mode of worship" in the latter instance ; but remarks are made that there are " no outward signs of the same vigour in other cases," and begs his lordship to make public the obstacles that stand in the way. The Bishop replies, March 10, that in some instances his expressed wishes have been complied with ; in one a promise of compliance had scarcely been made wen it was formally withdrawn ; and in another his " earnest and affectionate entreaties" have been met with " uuqualified refusal." The Bishop, however, is still even now not without hope that the most objectionable of those innovations will be laid aside ; but if he is disappointed his lordship will he prepared to do his duty to the Church at such time and in such manner as may appear, " upon the most careful consideration and consultation with those whose opinions I am bound to respect, to be the most advisable." RAILWAY AFFAIRS. At the York assizes on Monday, Mr. Wood, a farmer, obtained a verdict, with damages to the amount of £5OO, against the Manchester, Sheffield, and Lincoln Railway Company, for having, through the negligence of the company's servants, lost both his legs. He was getting out of a train at Deepcar, when a shock from a " dummy" knocked him off the step, and he fell with his legs under the wheels of the train. They were so much injured that immediate amputation was necessary. EASTERN COUNTIES RAILWAY. — The adjourned meet ing was held on Tuesday, Mr. Joseph Glynn in the chair, for the purpose of receiving the report of the committee appointed to inquire into the propriety of adopting a working agreement with the Eastern Union and Norfolk Railway Companies, and to transact the remaining busi ness of the half-yearly meeting. The report of the com mittee, disapproving of the terms of the proposed agree ment, was adopted, as was also a supplementary one, stat ing that a traffic agreement with the Newmarket Company would probably be entered into. The report of the direc tors was adopted ; but the election of directors not having terminated at half-past seven o'clock in the evening, the half-yearly meeting (which was a very tumultuous one) was again adjourned. Next day, Messrs. Waddington, Margrave, and Smith, were elected directors by a large majority. On Thursday, Mr. Waddington was chosen chairman of the board. RAILWAY DEVELOPEMENT OF TRAFFIC.—At the half yearly meeting of the Chester and Holyhead Railway Company, on Tuesday last, the chairman (Mr. Peto, M.P.) instanced a Striking proof of the value of railways in de veloping trade. He said that the station-master at Con way, last year, observing the unemployed state of the fishing population of that town, and seeing that a large quantity of the shell-fish caught on that coast might be sent into the manufacturing districts, endeavoured to in duce the fishermen to turn their attention to the matter, and, with the approbation of the board, offered a small sum in furtherance of the object. The result was, that they were at this moment carrying from the station to Manchester between 160 and 200 tons of shell-fish monthly. The catching of those fish employed the fishermen themselves, while the salting of the fish en gaged the services of a large number of the women and children of the district ; so that, in this instance, they were not only contributing to the welfare of the commu nity, but securing a traffic which yields to the London and North Western Railway an increase of something like .Z2uoo per annum. CHESTER AND HOLYHEAD RAILWAY.—On Tuesday, the half-yearly meeting of the shareholders took place at the Euston Station, Mr. S. M. Poo, M.P., in the chair; and a special meeting was afterwards held, for the purpose of rescinding a resolution passed at the half-yearly general meeting held on the 16th of March, 1849, for the creation of preference shares in the undertaking, which has not been acted upon, and in the stead thereof to authorise the creation of other preferential shares ; for giving effect to the arrangements entered into with the City of Dublin Steam Company ; and for the transaction of other busi ness. At the ordinary meeting, the report of the direc tors was adopted, and a motion that 16s. 6d. a share should be paid on the preference shares, was carried, after a short discussion. The special general meeting likewise agreed to a proposal from the directors for the creation of 42,000 preference shares of £9 12s. 6d. each, one to be offered to the holder of each original share; and the like number of shares of £2 17s. 6d. each, one to be offered to the holder of each preference share. These shares to bear a guaran teed interest of five per cent. per annum, in perpetuity ; but such interest is not to commence until the Ist April, 1854 ; the first payment of interest to be made on the Ist October, 1854. The other proposed arrangements were sanctioned. THE GREAT EXHIBITION. Batty offered 500 guineas to erect a circus for his troop at the Crystal Palace, but was refused. Mr. Wyld's " monster globe" cannot find an entrance into the Crystal Palace, on account of its size. Mr. Moitimer, lapidary, of Edinburgh, has prepared a lady's inkstand composed of Scotch pebbles, for the Ex hibition. Messrs. Potter, paper makers of Over Darwen, have forwarded to the Exhibition a machine for manufacturing paper hangings in ten colours, and which executes its work in a manner far superior to that attainable by block printing. _ _ _ A World's Convention - of mechanics and working men i_ to be held in London during the Fair of 1851, for the purpose of effecting an interchange of opinions in relation to the state of labour and the condition of the working classes in all parts of the world. Mr. Thompson, clogger of Blackburn, has manufac tured, for the Exhibition, three pairs of clogs—made of wood, iron, and leather—as the usual Lancashire clogs, but finished in a superior manner.—Mr. Milton, of the same town, has prepared a set of wax candles, cast in a fluted mould, and of unusually pure material. The Times has thought it necessary to state that, under any circumstances, the Commissioners will abide by the day fixed, and open the Exhibition on the first of May. Our contemporary doubts not that, as far as they are con cerned, it will be ready, but appears to have serious doubts as to the exhibitors accomplishing their portion of the work in time, and warns them accordingly. STRANGE CONTRIBUTION.—A pie of immense size, 4 feet long, 4 feet wide, and 1 foot deep, has arrived at the Crystal Palace from Holland, which is represented as a gastronomic wonder. The contents we do not venture to hint at, but it is accampanied by several smaller pies for the guidance of the judges and intending purchasers, and there are also some bottles containing samples of the liquor. THINGS TO BE LOOKED FOR IN THE EXHIBITION.— Foremost in the objects of art stands the Fries, designed, drawn, and a specimen of it sculptured by Engelhardt, a disciple of the late Schwanthaler at Munich. The Fries represents northern mythology. There is another figure in gypsum, by the same artist, and a small one in bronze by him, representing Richard the Lion-hearted on horse back, both exceedingly well done. A large glass tumbler, in which one of the campaigns of Alexander the Great is cut, and a glass plate representing on both sides, in differ ent colours, the battle of Marston-moor : a model of the Liverpool Docks, a model of Plymouth Breakwater, models of Wilton Church, and one at Hamburg ; a colos sal horse and dog, executed by Wyatt; gigantic statues of Lord Eldon and Lord Stowell ; a splendid tent con ' tributed by Mr. Duthoit ; a trophy formed of Canadian timber, and a model of the new orchestral arrange mentssbvsci cee d o eure e ylnup o t : unlit, gr t eaeh h r Ll e kybie t . oyd r na Baron insa, heraepoAntlnidoro lovers 0 1 r y as twr o hooe n efen e i jeh c eto e etrn n i ,ettfisrs fine of fe o paw r l rsa n thun a sib m c; hwe e i ct n i rlt e t li sph, hear piece , a s at Exete r -h a ll, b y M.

THE PAPAL AGGRESSION. It is reported that the Archbishop of Canterbury has invited all the English prelates to a conference at Lam beth relative to the Papal aggression. A large and influential meeting was held in Glasgow, on Wednesday, the Lord Provost in the chair, to petition parliament against the late offensive proceedings of the Pope. _ _ ft is said that the Peel party harbour a design which will startle the public—namely, that the Roman Catholic Church in Ireland should be endowed, and if possible made obedient to the state. The Roman correspondent of the Times makes known the extraordinary fact that Dr. Wiseman was gazetted there as " Archbishop of Westminster" so early as Jan., 1848, and he forwards the extract from the Roman Gazette announcing it. RELIGIOUS LIBERTY AT ROME.—The American Con sul at Rome has been compelled to deliver up to the Protestant enand bibles, dencn i p te r a int w ed ithi unt t P h a e p a I Republican e 564 G 3 Ove 2 rnm Consul for safe custody; Pkitvta.T9.—The number of perverts to Rome from Cambridge University amount to forty-three. Those from the sister University amount to ninety-two; from Trinity College, Dublin, five; Durham University, one. Total, one hundred and thirty-six. Of the Cambridge perverts, nineteen—and of those from Oxford, sixty-three —were in holy orders. The letter of the Duke of Wellington to Father Fitz gerald has been published, from which it appears clear that there was no ground for the statement that his grace had promised to support the prayer of a petition against the Papal bill. On the contrary, the Duke declined to present the petition on the ground of having no con nection with the place from which the petition emanated. COMBINED MEETING OF PROTESTANTS.—A meeting, convened by the Protestant Defence Committee, was held on Tuesday morning, in London, to consider the desira bleness of uniting in some action the different bodies of Protestants in opposition to the present aggression of the Church of Rome. The Right Hon. Lord Ashley pre sided, and was surrounded by Lords Roden and Ducie, Sirs C. E. Eardley, H. Verney, &e., and by the Revds. M. Villiers, Champneys, Auriol, Dr. Beecham, (Presi dent of the Wesleyan Conference,) Binny, Stearne, Mor rison, Tidman, and Campbell ; Charles Prest, T. Vasey, R. Herscell, Stoughton, and others. After a lengthened and careful deliberation, a committee was appointed to prepare a draft of a plan of action to be submitted to another meeting. ECCLESIASTICAL TITLES BILL.—The Claughton Pro testant Association held a meeting on Tuesday evening; and, after stirring addresses from Messrs. Palmer, Keats, Damson, and Hibbard, passed resolutions denouncing " the base and unprincipled corcession which has been made to Popish clamour by her Majesty's Ministers, in striking out of the Ecclesiastical Titles Act Bill those clauses which alone rendered it worthy of support ;" and expressing, as the opinion of the association, that the time has come when " her MAesty's Ministers should at once introduce a bill which would effectually prohibit all territorial titles, prevent all synodical meetings of Romish bishops, suppress all confraternity and monastic insti tutions, and put an end to all pecuniary support of Roma nism by the state as a sin against God." RESIGNATION OF TUE REv. A. PERCEVAL —The Rev. A. Perceval has contradicted the statement of his having been dismissed from his office of chaplain to the Queen, stating that in the present extraordinary crisis to which Lord John Russell has brought her Majesty's affairs, it seemed to him that he could render her Majesty more efficient service if released from the restraints of his office, than by continuing in it, and that therefore he requested, of his accord, her Majesty's permission to retire, to which her Majesty was graciously pleased to consent. He then quotes the chaplain's oath of office You swear by the Holy Evangelists, and the contents of this book, to be a true servant unto our Sovereign Lord, George the Fourth, of the United Kingdom of Great Britain and Ireland, King. You shall know nothing that may be in any wise hurtful or prejudicial to Isis Majesty's royal person, state, crown, or dignity ; but you shall hinder it all in your power, and reveal the same to his Majesty's lord chamberlain, or to one of his Majesty's most honourable privy council. You shall serve the king truly and faithfully in the place and quality of chaplain in ordinary. So help you God." The rev. gentleman then proceeds as follows By virtue of that portion of the oath which I have under lined, I consider myself bound, by oath, to defend the Queen ag ainst the treason of her own privy councillors as much as from any other quarter. In their conduct of her Majesty's ecclesiastical and Irish affairs, especially in their intercourse with Rome, which has now been going on ever since 1844, I could not doubt that they were in volving the,nselves in misprision of treason, and acting most injuriously ' to the person, state, crown, and dig nity of our Sovereign Lady the Queen.' When I sought, in the discharge of my oath of office, to caution her Ma jesty, by direct communication, against their treasonable practices, they persuaded the Queen that she was not constitutionally at liberty to receive direct communications from me, her own sworn chaplain. When I sought to caution her Majesty through their hands, with one con sent, successively, they refused to be the medium of such communication. My continuance in office, under such circumstances, would have been only a snare to my own integrity, and a source of fruitless annoyance to the Queen. I, therefore, requested permission to retire, which her Majesty was pleased to grant. Nor do I see, as an honest man, what other course was open to me." SPIRITUAL AND TEMroßAL.—Suppose there was the declaration by ecclesiastics, that the system of national education established in Ireland NI and that any person belonging to angerous to faith sisting upon carrying into effect should be excommuni cated, should be deprived of the rights of religion, would that be maintained to be a matter purely spiritual ? (Hear.) But suppose they should go a step further, and say, as regards the police and the soldiers—(loud cries of " oh, oh," from Roman Catholic members)—suppose it to be said, " these persons cannot remain in the police or the military under a Sovereign who has sanctioned such measures"--(repeated cries of " oh, oh," from Roman Catholic members.) I hear hon. members say " oh," and " that is a matter that would not be allowed. , ' Why, that is what 1 expected. You cannot, I say, rest satis fied with the declaration of another, that a matter is merely spiritual or ecclesiastical ; but you must judge for yourselves whether it be so or not. (Cheers, and cries of " oh, oh," from the Roman Catholic members.) I hear another hon. member say "it would not be done." Ido not know that. I think history will not bear out the as sertion ; but looking to what has happened in most recent times, I say, that trusting to the moderation of Rome with respect to the division between spiritual and tempo ral power, is one of the worst securities you could have. (Cheers.) 'Yesterday, in looking over the correspondence that took place in the years 1816 and 1817, between the Pope and the King of Naples, I found the King of Naples saying to the Pontiff—" I may be wrong in refusing you tribute for certain lands which you claim ; but you can hardly be justified in menacing me with spiritual censures because I oppose you in temporal matters." The Pope thought otherwise—that the temporalities had much to do with his spiritual power; and now, I say, that if you trust to Papal authority, depend upon it you will soon hear of the spiritual authority extending far beyond that of which you now have any conception. (Prolonged cheering.) Is it to be said that we are to admit every thing that the Roman Catholic clergy may choose to call spiritual ? This was said, amongst others, by my right hon. friend, who declared that the language in the brief and the pastoral were arrogant in the extreme, and need lessly offensive to the people. Now, m 3 right hon. friend, who has studied this,question a great deal, has mistaken some of its material points. I must call his attention to the character of the rescript. I must, however, first re fer to an article, written by Dr. Wiseman, in the Dublin Review, in which he declares the 25th of Henry VIII. to be an act of usurpation—a nullity, and void in all its con sequences. This is an assertion, to this extent, and lam not now noticing its historical fallacies—but this is an as sertion that an act of parliament is null and void in all its consequences ; and therefore, that the Archbishops of Canterbury and York, and the Bishoprics of London and Westminster no longer exist, and that the appointments therefore made to them are therefore void. (Hear.) On this, then, follows the rescript of the Pope, which, after naming the Archbishops and Bishops, says, " all general and special enactments notwithstanding," and " notwith standing all the rights and privileges of the ancient sees of England." (Hear.) You have then the formal de claration of Dr. Wiseman, which he would not have made without authority ; and you have then this rescript sub stituting the Archbishop of Westminster and the Bishop of Southwark for the Bishops of the Protestant Church, which Bishoprics are declared to be null and void, and as such are entirely abrogated and annulled. (Hear.) I ask does this come fairly within the scope of a foreign sovereign.—Lord John Russell's Speech on Thursday. ADDRESS TO THE AR U CHBISHOP OF CANTER BRY. The lay address was on Wednesday presented by Lord Ashley, accompanied by a deputation of clergy and laity, to his Grace the Archbishop of Canterbury. It was signed by 239,860 lay members of the Church of England, and deprecated the recent Papal assumption, as well as all innovations on the prescribed and accustomed services of the Church. The memorialists implored his Grace, "in this season of danger and apprehension, to take all such measures as the constitution of our Church has provided for the rectifying of evils, and for supplying the masses of our population with Protestant ministrations, and for protecting them against the seductions and contamination of Popish delusions." The venerable and apostolic Archbishop returned the following answer : " At a time which you justly characterise as a season of dan ger to our church, both from external aggression and from internal divisions, I derive no slight comfort from an address like that which you now present to me : which, important as it is from the number of its subscribers, is still more important from the authority belonging to their names. " Still, it must be matter of regret and humiliation that the assurances of attachment to the church, which the address conveys, should have been principally called forth by circum stances within the church itself, occasioning alarm and requi hr i a n v g e c t o h i e T m e c s t e i l o v n e . s a lt t o vl,e i l d l , b t e h a v t a win e t o a g d g e r n e y s s w i v h e a m t o e u a r s u a r d e l, s , e rosna thes part of Rome against which th w is h cou l n h tr a y ve is a p p r p o e t a e r s e ti d ng o , f have late been encouraged by symptoms of appro ac h towards Romish doctrines and Romish usages, which years within the Church of England. It is also certain that the principles which have been loudly maintained and zealously propagated, under the equivocal title of church principles, have a tendency to lead those who embrace them to reconcili ation with the Church of Rome, as the church in which those principles are most perfectly carried out and established. " I therefore cordially agree with the sentiments expressed in the address, and believe that the bold and open mainte nance of the distinctive doctrines of the Reformation, which are the doctrines of the Gospel, will be the surest safeguard against Romish error at home and Romish usurpation from abroad. " Your address appeals to authority, and desires that it may be exercised in preventing such practices and innovations in public worship as have their origin in error and superstition. I have much satisfaction in assuring you that I may speak of my colleagues on the episcopal bench as generally agreed upon this subject. The practices which are justly condemned hag been introduced with no approval on their part ; thougip tbe many instances, through th e uncer t a i nty of rubrics a " to intricacies of ecclesiastical law, power has been wantill ich prevent or prohibit them. But the community at large, t„" c i. is naturally alarmed at thes e i n di ca ti ons o f a return to in , I, plea which the nation has renounc e d, may rest assure d t lf ~,e and those who are united w ith me i n t h e governmen t 0 id church, discountenance the usages to whi c h y ou a llude, a n n r are anxious to repress them by s uc h means as are within " power. • X ' " I cannot conclude witho u t th an ki ng you for the kin e pressions of confidence whi c h y ou h ave addressed to m e, a n d be assuring you of the enco uragement w hi c h I receive, in responsible situation to which I have been called, from lin ° ing that the principles which I have long endeavoured to rnal 0. tain are the principles of such a body of persons as have „ sil. o , scribed their names to th e a dd ress. Our church has now :3, greatest need of such def en d ers . B y t h e i r prayers, thei ms • obtain for her that Divine support, without which no cb can flourish. By their influence, they may multiply 0 5 means of spiritual superintende nce an d S cr i ptural instru ct s which will prove our best d e f ence aga i nst the aggress i v e nr signs of Rome." A depubn of noblemen and gentlemen had an inl et .; view with Sir Geo. Grey on Thursday at the Home-01511 to present an address to her Majesty against the agrl o sion of the Pope of Rome, and the Tra.ctarian lately introduced into the services of the Church of PI land. Lord Ashl e y, i n present i ng t h e address, mention e d to Sir George Grey that it had been siffned by 63 Pee r `' NO 108 members of th e H ouse of Common's, and by 321 other lay members of the Church of England, all of whom had signed their o wn names, with their residences affix ed - .

SCENES IN THE HOUSE OF COMMONS _ In the House of Commons, on Thursday, M r . Henry Drummond, M.P. for Surrey, roused the ire of Roma° Catholics in the course of his remarks in favour o f the Papal bill. He said— People were accustomed to h ear s t a t ements that the public food and everything e l se m i g h t b e sacrificed to the denial's of an interest that co m pl a i ne d .

The SPEAKER said that nothi ng h a d f a ll en f rom the l'or• member inconsistent with that freedom of debate allowed to all members. (Hear, hear.) Mr. GRATTAN rose, and was intimating his intention to mak e. . some suggestion to the hon. member for Surrey, w h en he interrupted, and resumed his seat. Mr MORE spoke to ord er . H e wou ld merely sugges t tO the hon. member for Surrey that the subject of his obsero:. tions was likely to excit e retort and retaliation, and that it W s ; not consistent with th e di gn i ty of the house to pursue a cours" which would lead to s uc h results. (" Hear, " and " Order. 'l Mr. H. DRUMMOND was very much obliged to hon. Me i / bers, but as they had b een so good as to interrupt his arguil by their exclamatio ns , h e hoped they would hear it to an ' when they would see whether it was that evangelical perfec' tion was sought, as the noble lord said, by the inmates of 0 1- neries, to which they were advanced.
