The object of the meeting was to adopt a resolution and an address to her Majesty, on the recent attempt, on the part of the Pope, to invade . . the prerogative of her Majesty.

NOBLE DEMONSTRATION OF PROTESTANT FEELING.— The memorial to her most gracious Majesty against the insolent aggression of the Papacy, which was adopted at the Protestant meeting held in the Corn Exchange, Manchester, on the 4th ult., the Rev. Canon Stowell in the chair, has been transmitted by the Lord Bishop of Manchester for presentation to the Queen, signed by no less than fifty-one thousand sir hundred names, repre senting not fewer than two-thirds of the population of the town and environs. Nothing equal to this has ever been accomplished in the way of petitioning, for the sig natures are genuine, and have been obtained almost wholly by gratuitous effort. No excitement, no sheets in the street have been employed. All has been sponta neous. The names thereof represent men ready to do and to die for Protestantism ; men who will not be put off with trimming temporising measures, but are resolved to see Popery placed where alone it is safe—under whole some restraint.

In the course of the noble marquis' address he alluded to a horrible curse which he said Cardinal Wiseman was not only cognizant of, but which was part of his Pontificate Rom anum ; it was in his library, and it was acted on throughout the whole of the ceremonials of the church. Supposing a young person had been taken to a nunnery, and her parent objecting to' her being immured for life, rescued her, and took her home, then the following curse f was to be pronounced against him by the bishops of the P , •tran Catholic Church : be cursed in his•home and out of his home ' • may • - in the field, cursed in watching ng and drinking, cursed there_light upon him the ,w byMoies on the sons of he hook of the living, portion and uatricide, with Dathan and _.‘s and Sapphira, with Simon Magus,:and ,th Judas the traitor, and with those who said to God, " De part from us, we will not follow thy ways."

There were other curses which he might read, also very horrible, but that would suffice. W. Tatton Egerton, E3q., M.P., seconded the address. Robert de Hollyngworth, Eaq., said that before the address was put to the meeting he wished to say a few words. He thought it did not go far enough, and he therefore wished to make an addition. They ought to strike at the root of the evil. The speaker charged th Government with having encouraged tl (Hear, hear.)

The Queen's rulers had discoura g ed P ro t es t an ti sm an d la- wished their favours on Papists. Lord John Russell now affected indignation at the Pope, but it was nothing but humbug on his lordship's part. (Cheers and hisses, and a voice—" Aye, that's the correct word : it's nothing but ,t.

We are happy in being able to announce that a subscription has been set on foot in behalf of the unfortunate policemen who were injured in the affray. Already the amount collected exceeds £4O, and we have no doubt it will be considerably augmented. The following gentlemen have formed themselves into a committee for the purpose of equitably distributing the fund :—N. Pyke, Esq., T. Tyler, Esq., Stanlow Baliff, Eq., and Henry Gough, Esq. At the meeting of the Birkenhead Commissioners on Tuesday, Mr. Percy M. Dove and Mr. Eckford Watson attended be fore the board, to urge that the commissioners should move in convening the meeting.—The Chairman, Mr. John Laird, thought that, before the Commissioners could give an answer, they should know what the communica tion from government was, else they might be placed in a very improper position.—Mr. E. Watson said government did not, as they understood, object to the meeting, but only:demurred as to their having troops.—Mr. Pike said he had always felt that the magistrates were not the proper body to call such a meeting, acting as they did generally in a judicial capacity ; and that, he thought, was the chief objection of Sir George Grey. The government did not otherwise object to the meeting.—Mr. Green thought it would be most improper for the board, to whose chairman the requisition should, in the first instance, have been addressed, to interfere now.—Mr. Ravenscroft expressed disapproval of the calling of any further meeting whatever. He was afraid that the language which would be used would irritate the navigators, and that anarchy and a state of petty civil war might exist in the township throughout the winter.—Mr. Hughes moved that a special meeting, to consider the question, should be called for next evening ; and this was, after some discussion, agreed to.—At the meeting on Wednesday night the subject was resumed.— The Chairman and several other gentlemen expressed their opinion that it was desirable, before the Commissioners undertook the responsibility of calling a meeting, a requi sition to that effect should emanate from the inhabita Other gentlemen differe ,d on the point, and were in favour of a meeting being at once called by the Chairman.—His Proposition, however, was agreed to. The meeting is fixed for Friday next, in the Market-square. THE GOVERNMENT AND THE PAPAL AGGRESSION.— At the Wiltshire county meeting on Friday. a letter was read from the Marquis of Lansdowne, declining to take part in the proceedings, as his doing so " might fetter that discretion which as a minister of the Crown he was bound to exercise ;" but adding,—" So far as the resolu tions express a firm determination to uphold, by every means, the Protestant Establishment, and, more espe. cially, to resist all attempts by any foreign potentate, ecclesiastical or civil, directly or indfrectly, to interfere with the ordinances of our Church, or her Majesty's supreme authority as its head, they will have my entire and cordial concurrence." At a meeting of the Incorporated Law Society, on Tuesday, an address to the Queen was agreed to, one paragraph asserting that the aggression had been greatly encouraged by Romish principles and practices within the Church. Some Roman Catholic members protested against the meeting as foreign to the objects for which the association was formed. Mr. Ripley supported the ad dress, because " he had seen the Tractarian practices at Oxford since their first commencement at Balliol." Mr. J. A. Murray thought it was no use sending " Wiseman out of the country, unless they sent along with him the Wilberforces, the Dodsworths, the Sewells, and the Ben netts, who were absolutely pimping for the harlot of Rome ?" He also advised the meeting, now Christmas was coming, "to make their sons and daughters bring home their school-books for inspection, for he verily believed that in every educational establishment in this country there was a Popish Jesuit." The address was carried unmutilated. DURHAM.—One of the largest and most influential meetings ever held in Durham assembled at the Town hall on Monday evening week, on a requisition to the Mayor, for the purpose of considering the expediency of drawing up petitions to the Queen and both Houses of Parliament n* , •' I addresses "Au apal aggression ; anc. to Lord John Russell and the Bishop of Durham expre. sive of their concurrence to the true Protestant principles advanced by their Lordships. On the platform were several gentlemen who bad filled the office of mayor, many of the corporation, professional men, citizens, and resident gentlemen, a member for the city, two of the canons of the cathedral, two or three parochial ministers of Durham, all the Dissenting ministers, and several strangers from the neighbourhood. A more triumphant meeting in expression of lnvalt., .„ abhor rence. of Popery and Puseyism, and of adherence to sound Protestant principles, was never held in any place. The Dissenters of Durham stood forward in a wise, a manly, and a generous manner by the side of their Protestant brethren of the Establishment. None could protest in more uncompromising terms their opposition to the com- mon enemy A most enthusiastic meeting of the inhabitants of Run corn was held at the Forresters'-hall, on Monday evening, which was densely crowded. ae platform were the principal clergy and inhabitants of the town. Mr. Jackson, one of the churchwardens, presided. The first resolution, expressing the surprise and indignation of the meeting at the usurpation of the Pope, was moved by the Rev. Mr. Barclay, and seconded by the Rev. James Cox, in powerful and appropriate speeches. A Roman Catholic priest named Carr, seconded by a Mr. Daley, moved an amendment, which was lost by a large majority, the audience listening with great impatience to their remarks. A second resolu . tion, deploring the recent concessions to the Roman Ca tholics, was moved by Mr. James Cawley, and seconded by the Rev. R. C. Faulkner, the latter speaker including in his remarks an attack on Dr. Pusey. A working man, named Joynson, supported_ this resolution in a smart speech, in which he urged the working classes to oppose Popery by all the means in their p ,wer. Mr. John Johnson and Mr. R. H. Hare then proposed an address to her Ma- jesty, which differed in no 'material point from those —.(innfpa At cimilflr rnoatinme T ---1 T„l— at, ziumar weeungs. An auaress to Lora Joon Russell was also agreed upon, and, after singing " God save the Queen," the meeting separated. ORANGE SOCIETY.—On Sunday night, a meeting of the various lodges in London belonging to the Grand Protestant Association of Loyal Orangemen of Great Britain was held at the offices of Messrs. Jones and Clarke, solicitors, 30, Bury-street, St. James's, for the purpose of considering the best course to be adopted to stop the recent step taken by the Pope. The chair was taken by Mr. Hill, one of the grand masters of the dis trict, who was supported by the Rev. Mr. Greig, one of the grand chaplains, and a large number of the masters be longing to various lodges, who wore their orange-coloured sashes and other insignia of office. The Rev. Mr. Greig alluded to the recent act of the Pope as being nothing short of an audacious outrage on her Majesty's preroga tive and the Protestant religion of the country. He maintained that the legislature should not pause in enacting laws to put down these aggressive measures. It could be done by a Christia❑ Government and Christian legislation. All the laws making concessions to the Papists ought to be repealed, as they had broken every pledge they made, and ought to be dealt with accordingly. Ho would allow them toleration. but nnthin,, J. 1..“.• Papists ought not to have the same privilege as other _ - Atheists were better harm, whilst the .igious s ntidels and Homan Catholics surrendered their brains to the priests, and they were not fit subjects for liberty. Hating addressed the meeting for nearly an hour, it was finally agreed that the rev. gentleman's views should be laid before the Grand Lodge, when the meeting separated at eleven o'clock GREAT DEMONSTRATION BY LAY MEMBERS OF THE CHURCH OF ENGLAND AGAINST POPERY AND PUSEY- Ism.—An immense meeting of lay members of the Church of England was held in the Sussex Rooms, at Freemasons' Tavern, Great Queen-street, London, on Thursday, for the purpose of protesting against the " insolent and insi dious" attempt of the Bishop of Rome; and also to invoke her Majesty's aid to suppress the various innova tions recently introduced, in some quarters, into the ser vices of the established church. We have referred to the meeting elsewhere. The meeting was convened for one o'clock, but so great was the intense interest of the pro. ceedings, that long before that hour had arrived the hall was crowded to the doors, the galleries being filled with ladies. Lord Ashley, M,P., was called to the chair amidst the boisterous acclamation of the meeting. Amongst the gentlemen who surrounded his lordship were the Earl Waldegrave, the Earl of Chichester, Lord Charles Russell, Mr. Childers, M.P„ the Hon. Arthur Kinnaird, Mr. R. C. L. Bevan, Mr. Locke, Mr. O'Malley, Q.C., the Rev. Edward Auriel, St. Dunstan's ; Captain Sir Edward Parry, Mr. Plumptre, M.P., Mr. Baxter, of Park-street, and Doncaster; Mr. J. Carter Wood, Westminster; Hon. H. Milbanke, &e., &c. The meeting was altogether of a very uncommon character. Add, first, it was so in the mode of its being brought together. To assemble a really large concourse of persons in a tnid-day meeting in the busy metropolis is usually an undertaking involving a very large amount of labour and expense. The walls must be placarded for many days previous, and notices must be affixed to all the church and chapel doors. When all this has been done for ten days or a fortnight, the result often is, a room only decently or barely filled. In the case of Thursday's meeting, none of these means were employed. A simple announcement that such a meeting would be held was inserted in three or four morning papers, for five or six days precedent to the day of meeting. The public were also warned to take tickets, by applying at three or four houses named. So eagerly was this notice responded to, that on the night before the meeting the applications for admission exceeded the capacity of the room. One consequence of this naturally was, that hundreds who wished for admission could not obtain tickets, and were wholly excluded from sheer want of room. COUNTY OF FLINT.—A public meeting of the freehol ders and inhabitants of the county of Flint was held on Wednesday, at the County Hall, Mold, to address the Queen upon the late acts of Papal aggression. An unu sual degree of interest attached b this meeting, arising from the circumstance that the High Sheriff of the county, whose duty it was to have presided over the meeting, is Viscount Feilding. Since the publication of his lordship's correspondence with the Bishop of St. Asaph relative to the church at Pantasaph, the noble lord's effigy has been burnt in several villages in Flintshire, and he has himself been hooted and hissed when attending the Roman Ca. tholic chapel in the neighbourhood of his residence. To compensate for the loss of the esteem of hi s lordship' s friends and neighbours, Lady Feilding has, at is stated, received a most flattering autograph letter from the Pope, in which his HolinesX expresses the pleasure it will give him to receive at the Holy City two such illustrious con verts to the Papal faith. It - vas expected that the noble viscount would have been present at the meeting. The requisition, was signed by the Marquis of West minster, Lord Dungannon, Lord Kenyon, Lord Dinor ben, Lord Bagot, Lord Mostyn, and nearly 1,000 free holders. Lord Feilden, however, instead of adopting the language and object of the Requisitionists, convened the meeting " to consider the effect of the late ecclesiastical arrangements of the Catholic Church in this country, and, if thought necessary, to address her Majesty on the subject." This attempt to dictate to the county gave great umbrage to the numerous, respectable, and highly influential gentlemen who had signed the requisition. It was also remarked, that in the notice convening the meeting the noble viscount claimed for the adherents of the Papal creed the title of the " Catholic " Church, an assumption which could not fail to be most offensive to the feelings of the inhabitants of that Protestant county. Instead, however, of being present to defend his conduct, and to bear the brunt of the indignation he has raised, the noble viscount neither thought fit to attend nor to send the smallest apology for his absence. It was stated thet his lordship has set out for Rome, and that he regards the strong language of the requisitionists, and the extraordinary unanimity with which the requisition was signed, as conveying a marked personal censure upon himself. The requisition was signed, it is assorted, by every nobleman and gentleman in the county of Flint. The County-hall at Mold, in which the meeting took place, was filled to overflowing. Among the persons present were Lord Mostyn, Viscount Dungannon, Sir W. H. Clarke, Bart., the Hon. E. M. L. Mostyn, M.P., Sir J. Hanmer, Bart., M.P., Hon. Capt. Rowley, Col. Phillips, Hon. T. P. Lloyd, Messrs. P. D. Cooke, H. Raikes, J. W. Eyton, A. Jones, 0. C. Read, Archdeacon Clough, and a great number of the neighbouring gentry and clergy. Letters expressive of concurrence in the object of the meeting, and of regret at being unable to attend, were read from the Marquis of Westminster, Lord Kenyon, Lord Dinorben. Sir S. Glynne, Lord- Lieutenant of the county, the Hon. Lloyd Kenyon, &c. The venerable Lord Mostyn, who is in his eighty-third year, took the chair amid the applause of the meeting. An address to the Queen was unanimously adopted. County meetings have been held since our last, in addi tion to those we have alluded to elsewhere, in Warwick, Essex, Derby, Cumberland, Wiltshire, Somerset, &c. Lord John Russell came to town on Friday, and had a long conference with the Archbishop of Canterbury. It is said that Lord Shrewsbury has not been successful with the Pope in his advocacy of the Trish colleges. A distinguished Roman Catholic was lately asked if he had been to St. Barnabas's ; he said, " I have not, and I'll tell you why; I don't like mock turtle." The Morning Advertiser, of Thursday, hints at the discovery of an "intrigue between the rractarian party and the Roman Catholics" to bring the Church of Eng land over to Rome, and promises a complete discovery of the plot shortly. Archdeacon Manning, it appears, by a paragraph in the Tractarian organ, has at last resigned his office. This, we doubt not, is only the first step, to be followed by two or three others, the last of which will probably land him in the Romish Bishopric of Southwark. Dr. Wiseman has been on a visit to Mr. Murray, for merly M.P. for Bucks, where he met Lord and Lady Feilding, Mr. A. L. Phillips. Mr. Maskell, Mr. and Mrs. Allies, and Mr. Pugin, the whole being converts, through Puseyism, from the Church of England to the Romish apostacy. - A correspondent of the Times, noticing Dr. Wiseman's professed solicitude for the masses of poor and filthy crea tures about Westminster Abbey, writes that a few days since he was visiting the industrial schools there and found that Cardinal Wiseman did not subscribe towards them, and never visited them, and that on returning through the wretched streets, "he met—not the Cardinal—but Lord Ashley, picking out the cleanest path he could to wards the establishment." REVIVAL OF CONVOCiiTION.—The Tractarians have called a public meeting of clergy and laity in London, on Tuesday, the 14th January, " to adopt addresses to her Majesty and the two Houses of Convocation on the sub. ject of the recent Papal aggression, praying for the resto ration of the Synodal functions of the Church, as the most legitimate and effectual means of opposing all en croachments from without, and vindicat'ng the doctrine of the Reformed Catholic Church against error of every kind." We have reason to believe that an individual of consi derable wealth, but who has hitherto taken no consider able part in public affairs, and who resides the north of England, has resolved upon instituting a prosecution against one of the newly-created Roman Catholic bishops for a misdemeanour. The legal question may thus be brought to issue without the intervention of the govern ment. An eminent Queen's counsel, and a gentleman with large practice below the bar, have been retained to draw and settle the indictment.—Legal Observer. Mr. Roebuck, M.P., has written a letter to Lord John Russell, published in.the Times, accusing his lordship of inconsistency and impolicv, with deserting the principles of Catholic emancipation, and fomenting those religious differences which he has been striving to allay since 1829. He contends, moreover, that the re-establishment of the Roman Catholic hierarchy in England was the natural consequence of the removal of Catholic disabilities ; that if the " aggression" was not foreseen, his lordship must confess himself a short-sighted politician ; and, if it was foreseen, his indignation must be feigned to serve a party purpose. A CHECK TO TRACTARIANISM.—A correspondent of the Dublin Mail says,—" I have every reason to believe that immediately on_the assembling of parliament a bill will be introduced, the provisions of which will authorise parishioners to withhold payment of tithes, &c., from all clergymen, of either country or town parishes, who have introduced the Oxford novelties. The party so withhold.. . ing payment to state spe c ifi ca lly, i n a writing signed by him, and lodged with the register of the bishop, the reason of his so withholding payment. The proof to lie on the clergyman that he has not made any such altera tions in the decorations of the church, or in the manner of administering divine service." THE AMBITION OF THE ROMISH PRIESTHOOD.—In one of Southey's letters to his friend Wynn, in 1805, he thus alludes to the consequences which may ensue if the Roman Catholic priesthood possess unrestrained liberty in England :—" You do not know what the zeal is, and what the power of an army of priests, having no interest whatever but that of th e i r order." What would he have said if he could have foreseen that about forty years after he wrote thin, more than a hundred clergymen of the Es tablished Church would secede to Rome, and that many who did not secede would by their preaching and prac tices assist the "zeal" and " power ' of the Roman Ca tholic priesthood ? _ _ _ words can do justice to this by any adequate =-Church and State Gazette. THE BIBLE IN ROME —A correspondent of the ork county meetinu. Mr thus writes " At th The Morninq Advertiser has recently given a cutting expose of the Pope's financial affairs, founded on a report of his financial agent in Paris, Signor Thomassy, with a view to a loan. From 1816 to 1849 inclusive, the Papal expenditure has been yearly in excess of revenue. The Papal debt amounts _ to nearly five and-a-half millions sterling, notwithstanding the large revenue and immense domains of the Pope. The debt will be increased one half at least by the deficit of the present year. His Holi ness is raising money on treasury bonds at some ten or fifteen per cent. interest, although by infaliible Papal bulls usury is forbidden, and declared accursed, both to lender and borrower. His Holiness keeps a standing army of some 24,000 men, commanded in chief by a Car dinal Archbishop. POPISH RAPACITY IN CHESHIRE.—There was a person of his acquaintance, a young man, a very promising cha. racter, an amiable excellent youth, rather addicted to the sports of the field. His mother was dying, and she was visited by the priest frequently. One day the priest at tended and found her in a deep slumber, and he said, " She must receive extreme unction," the last ordinance of the church. "Oh !" said the young man, " don't dis turb my mother, she is in a quiet sleep, it may be refresh ing to her, and through it, by God's blessing, she may be restored to us." His request was granted, and the suf ferer slumbered on. but it was the sleep of death. Now, what bad resulted from that act of this young man, ami able and kindly as it was ? He was possessed of pro perty bringing in between one and two thousand a-year, and he had been so acted upon because his parent had not received " extreme unction" that he had no longer one farthing of money in his possession ; all had been paid over to the church to pay penances for his deficiency in religious actions, and he was a noviciate in one of the mendicant Popish institutions in this country —a miser able recluse.—The Marquis of Westminster's, speech at Knutsford. menial occupaions, such as the place of a scullery-maid— (oh, oh)—for the purpose of proselytising Protestant families. (Shame.) He held, therefore, that it was time to speak out, and tell these people—(great cheering, which rendered the rest of the sentence inaudible.) The Protestant people of England were amused at the denun ciations of the right rev. prelate ; but why did it not occur to him that there was another name equally dear to Englishmen, and that it ought to call a blush upon his face to think that name also was to be found among the perverts to the Romish faith. (Great cheering.) And if he saw danger from the intrigues of an humble scullery maid, could he not see danger also following a full developed archdeacon. (Cheers and laughter.)—Lord C. Russell at the Metropolitan Lay Meeting. POPERY WITHIN THE CHURCH OF ENGLAND.- The Protestants of England feared no open e n em y in this or any other righteous cause; but unhappily they had enemies to whom the well-known te rm o f "insidious,' might be more appropriately applied than to the Bishop of Rome and his direct emissaries. (Cheers.) With the latter they had to wage an honest stand-up fight, and from them they neither expected nor desired any favour. (Hear, hear.) It was not so much the Pope who had done the evil of which they complained.

IN THE 'UNITED STATES.—A correspondent, writing from New York, says:—" Arch bishop Hughes, who has just left us in order to go to Rome to receive the pallium from the Pope, delivered a lecture here a few days since, in which he asserted the positive and rapid decline of Protestantism in this country and in Europe. The lecture excited much attention here, but I undertake to say it was a fallacy from beginning to end—false in its facts and in its inferences. The only additions made to the Roman Catholic Church here are derived from Irish and German immigration. The cnly Americans who belong to it are the immediate descendants of foreigners, who keep up a show of reverence for the church in order to control the votes of these poor ignorant people. It is with the greatest difficulty the Romish churches are kept up in this city. All the congregations are deeply in debt, and in danger of being sold. All the Irish servant men and women are taxed a few cents each a week to keep the priests from starving ' • while on the other hand, the Protesta n t c h urc h es o f a ll denominations are liberally sustained, without any resort to compulsion or censures. If Protestantism is on the decline here we cannot perceive it." THE POPISH INVASION.-- Our metropclitan contem pory the St. James's Chronicle is making extraordinary efforts in the present crisis of the Church. Besides its own masterly exposures of the daring V devices of the Papacy, its ample pages afford a complete record of every thing said or done by prelates, priests, and laymen, in every quarter of the country. Charges, pastorals, and speeches, calculated to throw light on the one-engrossing subject are reported at great length. And all this in addition to a copious digest of the general news of the day. The St. James's Chronicle, published three times a week, is one of the oldest of the metropolitan journals, having numbered some ninety summers. It was noted in times gone by as the newspaper to which Dr. Johnson, George Stevens, Colman, Garrick, and other choice spirits of the eighteenth century regularly contributed, and in which G ildsmith wrote his "Citizen of the World" In later years it has well maintained itc rank both for talent and energy, tnd has - earned a well-merited reputa- tion as the active champion of the constitution in Church and State; and as par excellence, the clergyman's and country gentleman'; especial organ. The rigid exclusion of everything of a questionable tendency, both in the ad. vertisement and the news departments, and the varied and attractive character of its miscellaneous intelligence, renders the St. James's Chronicle a great favourite as a newspaper for the family circle., Dec. 10, ISSO, ENTHRONEMENT OF CARDINAL WISEMAN. - The Romish ceremonial for the induction of an Archbishop to his see, was performed at St. George's Church, South wark. on Friday. The procession of the clergy of the new " archdiocese" having been formed two and two, habited according to their respective ranks and orders, at least 200 in number, preceded the Cardinal, who wore a gorgeous mitre ana pallium. A graceful canopy, fringed with silk and gold, was borne over his path by the " con verts" exclusively. The cardinal was followed by Dr. Doyle, who was preceded by Dr. Cox and two other priests. Cardinal Wiseman proceeded to kneel at the foot of the altar, when, after the customary form of prayer had been read, the mitre, which h.d been ex changed for a scarlet cap a short time before, was formally placed upon the head of th e new archbishop, and the crozier in his hands. He was then conducted to the archiepiscopal chair, at the foot of which the whole body of the clergy made the usual obeisance—kissing the cardinal's ring in recognition of his spiritual authority. High mass was then performed, after which the bull, conferring upon Cardinal Wiseman the archiepiscopal jurisdiction of Westminster, was publicly read. The proceedings closed with the presentation of an address to the new " archbishop," and an exhortation from him to his clergy.

LORD JOHN RUSSELL AND THE " MUMMERIES OF SUPERSTITION."—The Rev. Mr. Bennett, the notorious Puseyite, of St. Barnabas, Pimlico, has addressed a letter to Lord John Russell, stating that his lordship, was for nearly seven years a member of the congregation of St. Paul's, Knightsbridge, had given countenance to those peculiarities of ritual which he now holds up to reproba tion as " mummeries of superstition." The letter will help to open the eyes of the Premier to his former folly. Its priestly tone is only equalled by that of Dr. Wiseman's manifesto. Mr. Bennett says that Lord John Russell sanctioned the proceedings at the mother church by his long-continued presence at divine worship. What busi ness, enquires the cautious pamphleteer, have he and the Bishop of London now to scandalize Christianity by up holding Popery as :the enemy of the faith, people, and Sovereign of England ? As for the bielop he may re monstrate as he will. Mr. Bennett will not recede—he will alter nothing. " I have told him so !" As for heed ing what Lord John hints at, the reverend writer tells him that he is unworthy of being attended to ; that he has subdued his conscience to public opinion ; and that for selfish motives of gain, of place, and of power, the once friend of the Papists is now their foe. After this Mr. Bennett proceeds to show that Lord John was for years a contented and constant attendant at his parish church of St. Paul's, Knightsbridge; that he never censured anything done or said therein ; that ha highly approved of the building of the church and school of St. Barnabas, and had no word to say against the purposes for which they were erected. Mr. Bennett goes even so far as to in timate that the fact of Lord John and his family having taken the sacrament at his hands so lately as Ash Wed nesday, 1846, is a proof that up to that time his lordship was an abettor in all done or designed by the minister of his parish ! THE BISHOP OF OXFORD AND DR. PIISEY.—Are we under a delusion, or is the Bishop of Oxford mad ? We are credibly informed that, by an arrangement with Mr. Marriott, haring the sanction of the Bishop of Oxford, Dr. Pusey will henceforth preach the four o'clock Sunday sermon at St. Mary's, in that city. Both the bishop and Dr. Pusey preached at Littlemore on the 24th ultimo. Now, mark,—Not very long since, Dr. Pusey was sus pended by the university. Upon Mr. Newman's seces sion, Dr. Pusey became the leader of the Tractarian party. At the meeting at St. Martin's-hall, just previous to the recent intrusion and outbreak, Dr. Pusey publicly advo cated a straightforward movement towards Rome. He announced, at the same time, his own opinion that the Church of England had "no distinctive doctrines." Dr. Pusey has been publicly charged with practices, in rela tion to auricular confession, not less adverse to Cnristian morals than to the doctrine and discirline of the Church of England. He has not denied, or qualified, or retracted, any tittle of what was so laid to his charge. He has been prohibited—virtually, if not in form of law—from nrpnrh- ing in the city of Bristol, by the bishop of that diocese. And under - these circumstances—at this season of excite ment—the Bishop of Oxford gratuitously sanctions and encourages the preaching by this man, in his city and uni versity, of the very same weekly sermon by means of which Mr. Newman did originally work so much mischief THE BISHOPS. lid lciv The following is a copy of an address frolont rs)° bishops an d Bi s h ops ( excep t Exeter and St. s'a- Her Majesty : 110 . pi May it please your Majesty,—We , "The humble Address of the Archbishops an u "TO THE QUEEN'S MOST EXCELLENT A 00, of the Church of England. tbishoPs the Arrnd, end and undersigned Bishops of the Church of Eng B ,i - o n so proach your Majesty with sentiments of basvenera bee n offered to the Church and to your Maies t Y' loyalty at a time when an unwarrantable insult w bot 3 to of t o appertains the chief government of all cstates,,Thisost Holy Catholic Church, in which the realm, whether they be ecclesiastical or civil. „" c l ir idt country, whose Church being a true branch 01 , God preached, and the Sacraments are duly ministerea:hop of ing to Christ's ordinances, is treated by the Di tulat i3 Rome as having been a heathen land, and is congta sp ise on its restoration, after an intervalof 300 years , t e four rn o o g rr potentate o n t d e e n d t aotne shall w among the Churchesof Christendom.Theretu , ..nr• an a P".l, pure word °f God is anticipated to a communion the ev e a n d whit' ruptions of which they deliberately renounced,as wordti continues to retain practices repugnant to G° 1 4 . sn , o ' r theß . inculcates blasphemous fables and dangerous dece.l:,deS prescribes as necessary to salvation the belief of tle° - tahuitshroeriatlym,are.--141 " It is part of the same arrogant assumptiontbs use natnyd exercise Scr i pt u a r n e y . a i . .._ ai t o lel . : e fiance of the law which declares that ' no foreigl; 0 0 _ min er 0' r i t t i lit 00 - is op of Rome has pretend ; a spiritual dominion over the people of this count'', tick in nominating certain Romish ecclesiastics to P r o f st . places or sees in England, has reasserted his cla n w ith s premacy over the kingdom, and has interfereulbjestl prerogative constitutionally belonging 1, J ..„, your ' alone. united 0451 jurisdiction, h spiritual or ecclesia:ctiituoe and' "We consider it our duty to re co rd our - r itsP• tO a sr t iosi against this attempt to sub' tyranny from which they were freed people ..._rorio ~, at the l' el tv to di' l and we make our humble petition t your .11isie s ,;,,5 tt‘' countenance by all co t* - o - the c' e ' - ' 'OS ns ituttonal meanspill usurpations of the Church of Rome, b y which r- v 03' divisions are foste re d, an d th e labour' o f our clesi t ell' peded in their endeavours t o diff use the light of tt" gion amongst the people com m itt e d to their chargi!,oll' "J.

(Cheers.) He, for one re joiced to find that the true friends of the Protestant faith and the Champions of the Reformation were rising up in the length and breadth of the land to defend that which they reckoned dearer than life (cheers) ; and he believed they did well to stand up for their faith and keep aloof and separate from those enemies who were within the camp, and who of late had been professing so much zeal in resisting the common enemy. (Hear, hear.). He did not like the professions of the Tractarians on this matter. Their mode of resisting the Pope of Rome appeared to him to savour a great deal too much of Popery (loud cheers); and he believed from his soul that it had proved them to be just what they had supposed them—unsound, dishonest, and disloyal. (Cheers.) Just let the meeting observe how the Tractarians dealt with this matter. Were they ready to assist and uphold the supremacy of our beloved Queen ? (" No, no !") Not a bit of it. They were foremost—ay, even before the Pope of. Rome, —in denying and resisting that supremacy. (Cheers.) Had they been ready to protest afresh against the errors and superstitions and idolatries of the Church of Rome ? (" No, no !") Had they professed themselves ready to fight again, as it must be fought, the battle of the Refor mation ? (No, no !") They did not, because in doing so they would have to protest against their own doctrines and practices, which were essentially Popish. (Great cheering.) Then, what had they done with reference to the Papal aggression ? They called it " schism." (Laughter.) They only employed that nice, convenient little word "schism." (Hear.) Now, if the Church of Rome was what the Church of England considered her to be, it was not a schism. (Cheers.) The Tractarians felt upon this matter as Archbishop Laud did. (Cheers.) Laud would not be in subjection to the Bishop of Rome. He would have seen him at the bottom of the Red Sea first; his wish was to be Pope in his own province. (Cheers.) And need he tell them that there were some in the Church of England—not a great many he hop e d, —who would be Popes in th e i r o w n dioceses and chap. tors (Cheers.) But they were met there that day to defend something higher still than the Royal suprema c y. They were there to maintain their Protestant faith in. violate and incorrupt. (Great ch e ering.)
