"That we cannot look on with indifference in the present era, whilst religion is menaced by the stratagems of papal Rome, our glorious constitution now publicly assailed, and the dis memberment of the empire threatened by recent papal bulls and enactments. We believe that it i; not less the interest than the duty of every protestant Briton to unite and defend, by every lawful means, the religious and civil establishments of his country, as by these the honour of God, and the happiness of men, are most effectually secured. " That it has ever been our aim to promote the principles of the glorious Reformation, and to uphold the great bulwarks and liberties of this nation, as it has always been our undevia ting conviction that no foreign prelate, prince, or potentate bath, or ought to have, any jurisdiction, power, superiority, pre-eminence, or authority, within this realm. "That such and such only are the principles upon which this noble institution was founded, and has uniformly acted, and upon which it now seeks to act by forwarding the present memorial to the foot of the throne. "That your petitioners, anxiously desire to express their loyal and devoted attachment to your t ajesty's person, and their determination to uphold and maintain your royal su premacy in connection with those glorious protestant principles which placed your majesty's illustrious house upon the throne of these realms. "That we humbly pray your majesty. in . your wisdom, and as it shall seem best, will put down the late intolerable aggres. sion of the Bishop of Rome, and not only repel this wanton in vasion of your majesty's supremacy, but rebuke the insult offered to your majesty's loyal protestant subjects within your majesty's dominions. " We beg to assure your majesty of our determination to stand by your majesty, with our lives and proper, y, it required, and still to bear high on our banners the scriptural injunction, to 'Fear God and honour the King.' "Hoping that years of blessing may be stored for your ma jesty, and with wishes from our hearts for the national pros perity of our beloved church and country." A meeting of the, Protestant Association of Loyal Orangemen of Great Britain was held on Tuesday, at Newton, by virtue of a warrant from the Right Hon. the Earl of Enniskillen, G.M., to determine upon measures of the brethren was very numerous, including a consider able number of clergymen and de:egates from all parts of the kingdom AmOng those present were the Rev. Burnett, L.L.D., vicar of 13radfoxd, Rev. S. Fenton, &c. An address to the Queen was adopted, which concludes as follows : " We, your Majesty's memorialists, therefore, humbly pray your Mbjesty to hearken to Protestant England speaking for herself, torthwith to summons a Privy Council, and to issue such orders as will call into operation the dormant- and n lected power of the law on the points in question, and thus at once arrest and impede the execution of the Papal bull in ti. s realm ; that your Majesty will be pleased to summon Parlia ment to assemble immediately, in order that any law that has been perverted and abused may b 5 amended or repealed, and that new laws protective of our constitution from Papal aggres sion may be enacted; and that your Majesty will be graciously pleased to admit to your councils as your Min.sters and ad visers none that in anywise hold, maintain, countenance, or connive at, the corrupt doctrine and the unprincipled policy of the Romish schism." The following petition against papal aggression was sub mitted by the incumbent of St. John's Church, Old Hay market, to his congregation, and in twelve hours received seven hundred and seventy-four signatures:— TO THE QUEEN'S MOST EXCELLENT MAJESTY " MAY IT PLEASE YOUR MAJusTv,—The pe ition of the undersigned Ministers, Churchwardens, and Members of the Congregation of St. John's Church, in the parish of Liverpool, humbly sheweth, " Tliat your petitioners desire to express their devoted attachment to your Majesty's royal person, and their determi nation, as loyal subjects, to uphold your royal supremacy in connection with those glorious Protestant principles which placed your Majesty's illustrious house upon the throne. " That they view with just indignaticn the late audacious attempt of that foreign potentate, the Bishop of Rome, once more to intrude his authority into your Majesty's realms, by assuming to create dignities and confer local and provincial . . risdict ion on ixelatei of his own appointment. " That this power is not conceded to the Pope even by the Roman Catholic sovereigns of Europe, and was not ad►nitted in this country during the darkest period of the Papa' usurpa tion. " That it has long been one of the great bulwarks of the liber ties of this nation, that no foreign prince or potentate bath, or ouglit to have, any jurisdiction; power, superiority, pre eminence, or authority, ecclesiastical or spiritual, within this realm, and, therefore, that the attempt to break down that bulwark, by insinuating such foreign jurisdiction, ought to be met with prompt and determined resistance. " That your petitioners are deeply sensible of the great blessings, civil and religious, which this Protestant nation has enjoyed since its emancipation from the thraldom of the Romish schism, and are prepared to defend and maintain, by every legitimate means, the Protestant religion and the liber ties of England. " That your petitioners, therefore, humbly pray that your Majesty %sill be pleased to take such measures as, in your royal wisdom, shall seem best, to put down the intolerable pretensions of the Bishop of Rome, to repel his wanton inva sion of your Majesty's supremacy, to rebuke the insult he has offered to the Established Church of this land and to all your Protestant subjects, and to prevent the acknowledgment or assumption within your Majesty's dominions of any ecclesias tical dignity. pre-eminence, or Jurisdiction conferred by him, or any other foreign prince, eotentete, or bishop. " And your petitioners, as in duty bound, will ever pray." The following address to her Majesty was agreed on at a meeting held on Saturday last, at the Church of St. John the Evangelist, Knotty Ash : "TO THE QUEEN'S MOST EXCELLENT MAJESTY. "The humble address of the undersigned, minister, wardens, and members of the congregation of the Church of St. Join' the Evangelist, at Knotty Ash, in the parish of West Derby, in the county of Lancaster. . . " We. your Majesty's most dutiful and devoted servants, beg leave warmly to approach your Majesty with the warmest assurances of undeviating loyalty to your Crown, and of sincere and fervent attachment to your royal person. "Considering that this country having, in past ages, been mate to feel, by painful experience, (in the persecution of its martyrs and the control exercised over its sovereigns,) that the Bishop of Rome, in opposition to the principle of all Christian churches, has exercised, with his ecclesiastical system, temporal power—reflecting that the boasted principle of Rome, vs has been shown by the persecutions of later years. perpetrated in less favoured countries, is `ever the same e Cr.nsider it our duty to declare to your MajtstytVal we view with feelings of alx.'m and indignation his recent attempt to interfere with your Majesty's undoubted prerogative —an attempt which, if it were successful, could never he satisfac tory to him until it should be consummated by the thraldom of the sovereign and people of this country, his practice having been, by intrigue or otherwise, to compel all sovereigns to bow to him. "We, therefore, humbly venture to express our earnest hope that your Majesty will, by the help of Goal, ever maintain and preserve inviolate your Majesty's authority, as by law estab lished, within thepe realms; and that your Majesty will cause the immediate adoption of such measures as will effectually prevent any foreign prince, prelate, or potentate , g, from exer cisin or attempting to exercise, any jurisdiction, . power, superiority, or authority, within your Majesty's dominions." The following is an additional letter from his Grace the Lord Primate, on this important subject : "Lambeth. Nov. 21, 1850. "I am much gratified by receiving the address of the Arch deaCons and Clergy of my diocese of Canterbury, ' protesting; against the act of aggression upon our church recently com mitted by the Papal see.' "I was well aware that the clergy of my diocese were ani mated by the same sentiments which have been so generally expressed by the Church of England concerning this extra ordinary measure, and I have waited for your address, con sidering that it would afford the most suitable opportunity of declaring my own sentiments upon this occasion. "You justly observe that the appointment of bishops to take spiritual charge of the several counties of England and Wales is: in direct opposition to the statutes of a courit;y;;l7eli affirm that no foreign prelate or potentate bath, or ought to have, any jurisdiction or authority within this realm, in which the Queen's Majesty, under God, is the sole supreme governor. ' When a foreign potentate assigns particular districts of the realm to be ruled over by his episcopal delegates and nominees,' he certainly assumes to himself a pre-eminence and power which is opposed to the spirit and purport of our law. " We therefore have just reason to declare our indignation at the present invasion of our rights, and the assumption on which it is avowedly grounded, that our protestant communion is unsound, and even heretical. But whilst we are indignant we need not be surprised. All religions, whether false or true, must be in a certain sense aggressive, if it is sincere ; and it is the known characteristic of the Roman Catholic religion to be not merely aggressive, but encroaching, and to rest satis fied with nothing short of absolute domination. We stall therefore act wisely if we look around us and inquire whether any peculiar circumstances amongst ourselves may have caused the present time to appear to the court of Rome a favourable opportunity for the movement of which we complain. " Ten years have elapsed since I thought it necessary to warn the clergy of another diocese against the danger of adopting principles which, when carried out, tend naturally to those Romish errors, against which our forefathers protested, and which were renounced by the Anglican church. "The result has proved that this judgment was not harsh or the warning premature ; on the contrary, certain of our clergy, professing to follow up those principles, have proceeded onward from one Romish tenet and one Romish practice to another, till in some congregations all that is distinctive in protestant doctrine or protestant worship has disappeared. Ctlisr circumstances might be mentioned, such, for instance, as the titles and precedence allowed to the Roman Catholic dignitaries in Ireland and our colonies, which have afforded some colour to the belief that a change had come over the spirit of our land, and that an act of Romish aggression might be ventured without risk of serious notice or national opposi tion. " Happily the event has proved that the errors were on the surface, and confined to few ; the heart of the nation adheres to the Word' of God, and rejects the traditions of men: "Our first duty, therefore, in the present crisis is to retrace our steps wherever they have tended towards Romish doctrine or Romish superstition ; and, whilst we appeal to the legis lature to protect our church from foreign invasion, to be espe cially careful that we are not betrayed by enemies within. " But another duty is incumbent on us, of still greater urgency. The corruptions of the Romish Church are very con genial to the human mind, and especially to the uneducated, una wakened mind. Amongst the population of our crowded towns and our remote villages too many, unhappily, are unable to test the truth of any religion which is proposed to them by its only sure standard, the Bible. These may easily become a prey to teachers so subtle, so skilful, so insinuating as Romish emissaries are known to be. There is, likewise, a constant immigration from Ireland, of men who have imbibed super stition from their cradle, and by companionship, or alliances among their fellow-workmen, are too likely to aid the exertions of priests or Jesuits, of nuns, and of sisters of charity. It be comes doubly necessary for the clergy to guard their people against this danger by every means through which Scriptural knowledge may . be diffused amongst them ; acquaintance with the Scriptures is the sure defence against Rome ; the laity must lend their aid and supply the means of adding to the number of clergy, together with a provision for household visitors and Scripture readers, without which it is impossible to make head against the ignorance and apathy of an untaught multitude. If the recent assault upon our church should thus become the means of extending Scriptural instruction, the measure which was designed for our injury may, under a gracious Providence, result in an eventual good. The enemy shows that he con siders we have a weak point. It is our business to strengthen that point, and guard it from attack ; and not to allow the igno rance of any part of our population to betray them into the hands of Rome. "The clergy who have addressed me, may depend upon my using whatever influence belongs to the high office and station to which I have been called, to maintain her Majesty's "royal prerogative and title, and to assert the rightful claims of the Church of England." And I have full confidence that they, on their part, will never be wanting in their endeavours to ren der harmless any attempt which may be made to weaken or subvert the Protestant faith of which they are the appointed guardians. "J. B. CANTUAR." Lord Drumlanrig, as Lord-Lieutenant of Dumfrieshire, has convened a meeting of the inhabitants of that county to address the Crown " to use to its utmost every power to prevent the Intrusion of Papal dominion into Great Britain." The following spirited letter from the Bishop of has been published since our last "Auckland Cistle Nov. 20th, 1850. • "Rev. and dear Sirs,—l fully enter into 'the feelings' so well expressed in the address which you have transmitted, and which is so very numerously and respectably signed by laity, as well as clergy. _ _ _ _ "You rightly describe this unexpected and unprovoked aggression by the Court of Rome as an invasion on thrprero gative of the•erown, bound up, as that is, with the exercise of our civil rights ; as well as upoi the religious privileges so long enjoyed by our church and people. "As an Englishman, I am not disposed to regard it merely in the light of a contest between rival religions, but as- an outrage upon the independence of a nation always renowned for its love of freedom, and for its power to secure it. I, therefore, do not inquire whether such a proceeding be schis matical; or whether it be, or be not, in accordance with the practice of this or that church, or the decrees of this or that council ; but whether it be not a direct attempt on the part of a foreign prince to usurp spiritual authority, where he had no chance, he was well assured, of exercising temporal power. There can be no doubt that it is an unwise, but not the less daring, attack upon the supremacy of the sovereign, and con sequently upon the privileges of our church, which acknow ledges the sovereign as its head upon earth, and looks to that source, and that only, for the distribution of its honours, and the arrangement of its territorial boundaries. "No doubt the religious world may well look at this audacious attempt with astonishment. But, contrasting our own scriptural creed ,nd simple mode of worship with. the errors in doctrine and (Os in practice prevalent in the Romish communion, we may well laugh it to scorn. Never theless, we may learn from it some useful lessons. 'lst. The dissensions among ourselves may have been greatly exaggerated, but undoubtedly they have prevailed among us far too much; and I cannot but fear that they have contributed to this attack. Here, then, we have a solemn warning against dissension, and additional cause to `hold the faith in unity of spirit, and in the bond of peace, as well as righteousness of life.' " Again. The melancholy spectacle of a few unhappy and misguided men, even among our own ranks, who have taken refuge from, I know not what, apprehension, In, I know not what, security at Rome, may admonish us of the evils which cannot fail to ensue, if we mistake the broad and plain paths marked out in the inspired Word of God, for the inventions, and fancies, and devices of man " Lastly. It affords a striking illustration of the fact; that the :spirit of Papacy is ever aggressive. It is insatiably ambltious. So nil- tiOm regarding - any removal of disabilities in the light of a favour, or as an act of pure justice, it looks upon it as a concession extorted by fear, and as the means of further detriment to those who have shown such Christian feeling to their erring, but still their Christian, brethren. We must, therefore, be cautious of extending the privileges and increasing the power of those who have shown such a disposi tion to misuse both. " As you wish for my counsel in this . time of anxiety,l should recommend an address to her l‘lajesty, as soon as it can be prepared, and petitions to both houses of parliament when they again assemble. I am, rev. and dear sirs, your faithful servant and affec tionate brother, " E. DUNF.LM. " The Rev. .1. P. Eden, H. Peters, and B. Kennieott." Dr. Cumming, in the course of his second lecture, spoke as follows on the subject of the oath which Dr. Wiseman took at Rome :--- Why, if there ware any truth in this book, if there were any authority in this pontifi , mte, Cardinal Wiseman did swear, " Omnes hereticos, schismaticos, et rebelles, Do mino nostro, vel successoribus prte ictis, pro posse, per sequar et impugnabo." (Cheers.) A few minutes before (Dr. Cumming) entered that room, he received a letter from St. George's, Southwark, with a cross prefixed to it, and signed " Francis Searle," which was the name of the gentleman who acted as Cardinal Wiseman's secretary. That letter enclosed another, which it stated had been forwarded to the editor of the Times on Tuesday last, but had not. yet appeared in that journal. The enclosure was as follows : "TO THE EDITOR OF THE TIMES. " St. George's, Southwark, N0v.19. " Sir,—Dr. Cumming, in his letter in your pager of to-day, gives an extract from the oath taken by bishops and arch bishops, copied from the Pontifical,' printed at Antwerp in 1627. and states, presume, that Cardinal Wiseman, on re ceiving the pallium, took that oath.' To prevent further mis understanding, I have the Cardinal's permission to state to you that, by a rescript of Pope Pius VII., dated April 12,1818, the cause quoted by the rev. doctor, and so subject to mi: understanding, is omitted by all bishops and archbishops who are subject to the British Crown." (cheers, oh, oh, hisses, and laughter.) This showed, at all events, what was the splendour of that Crown, if it were true, and what was the pressure of the subjects of that Crown, even upon the Vatican itself—if that were true. (Cries of "hear.") The writer went_on to say : "The authorised copy, now lying before me, used by our bishops is hewled--,, FORMA JURAMENTI, " Pro Episcopis et Vicariis Apostolicis Episcopali dignitate ii - feditis, qui in locis Magure Britannia sublectis versantur, wwscripta a SS.Pio P. VII., (tie 12 Aprilis, 1818.' . . In the copy of the Pontifical' kept at the episcopal residence in golden square—the copy, perhaps, generally usucl in the con secrat on of bishops in England—t:e sentence is cancelled." . . • What a sleepy archbishop to go and consecrate bishops, and not. to know what they were doing—not to know whe. then these things were done or not. (Cheers.) He pro i•eeded— " Dr. Cumming is at liberty to inspect this if he will arrange with me for that purpose," —and call at the episcopal residence, in Golden-square (Laid laughter.) " go there." exclaimed Dr. Cum with much emphasis. (Great cheering.) But, con- tinued the rev. doctor, he had some disclosures to make with respect to Dr. Do• le's statement and Do Castro's book that would horrify all England. He wanted this to ba rivetted upon their minds. He did not want Dr. Wiseman to escape by means of his Jesuit sophistry. (A voice, "Go with the police." (Laughter.) No, he was not afraid ;he would go alone. (Loud cheers.) Did they ever hear of a Scotchman who was afraid of any body ? (Graatclice.ting.).. Theietter acred • . " When Cardinal Wiseman was consecrated bishop in Rome, in 1840, he took the English form of oath. On receiving the pal I hint, at which ceremony I assisted, his eminence took no oath, card , nals being exempt. Had he been required to do so, he would, no doubt, have repeated the same form." Why, what laws had this man ? Here was a solemn pontificate whiCh he was bound to observe, under the most solemn conditions, with the most solemn bulls prefixed : here was a document which all priests, bi shops, and archbishops were bound to observe, on which Catalano wrote notes, and which stated that when the archbishop received the pallium he must take that oath, and that until he had taken that oath lie could not receive the pallium; and yet the Cardinal Archbishop of West minster said that lie did not take that oath. (A voice - : " Oh, it won't do"—cheers.) Now suppose that he did not take that oath. Urban VIII. arid Benedict XIV. both stated that nothing was to be changee' in, added to, or subtracted from the pontificate; but Gregory XVI. and Pius IX. said th..t anything might be added to or subtracted from it, and that it might be treated in any way Dr. Wiseman pleased to suit the Bri tish Crown (hear, hear.) The Church of Rome assumed that it was the united Church, and that we heretics were all at issue with one another. But what was really the case with Rome ? Why, two Popes said, " You must not add to, subtract from, or do anything contrary to this pontificate ;" whilst two other Popes, Gregory XVI. and Pius IX., said "You may chop and change, and do any thing you like with it." A special meeting of the members of the Church of England Institution was held at the Charitable Institu tion, Slater-street, on Tuesday evening, for the purpose of adopting an address to her Majesty upon the recent daring Papal aggression. The attendance was numerous, and included several clergymen and influential laymen. Mr. George Jones occupied the chair, and delivered an excellent speech, as did the Rev. T. W. Moeran, Mr. T. Mirams, Mr. J. W. Mallett, and the Rev. W. Brewster. Thanks were voted to the honorary secretary, the Rev. It M. Mosse, for his unwearied exertions in furtherance of the interests of the institution. _ _ _ A meeting of the congregation of All Saints' Church, in this town was held in the school-room on Monday eve ning, to consider the propriety of addressing her Majesty, in consequence of the recent aggressions of the Pope of Rome, and notwithstanding the very unfavourable state of the weather, the room was crowded to excess. The Rev. H. Marlen took the chair, and having opened the meeting with prayer, and stated at some length the object for which it had been convened, was most ably supported by his lay friends, who were unanimous in their opinion that a loyal address should be drawn up, and forwarded to her gracious Majesty, expressive of their steady and firm attachment to those Protestant principles in support of which their forefathers bad been willing to peril their lives. A resolution to this effect was then moved in a very appropriate speech by R. Y. Ackerly, Esq., the minister's churchwarden, which was seconded in a very able manner by W. Roxburgh, Esq. The motion was unanimously carried, and the greatest enthusiasm pre vailed throughout the meeting. Every one seemed to feel the importance not only of resisting the arrogant assumptions of the Papacy, but of doing all in their power to check the influence of the soul-destroying system of Popery in their own parish, by the establishment of schools for the rising generation commensurate with the wants of this populous neighbourhood. It is doubtless in the re collection of most of our readers that some time before the appointment of the present incumbent, the old All Saints' Church, with its commodious schools, passed into the hands of the Roman Catholics, and though the loss of the former has been in some measure compensated for by the liberality of the pnblic, in the erection of a new church in Great Nelson-street North, the latter has been only partially supplied by a hired building, insufficient for the present schools. _ — PRESCOT.—A meeting of the parishioners of Prescot was held in the Town-hall on Tuesday. The building was very respectably filled, and as the locality is inhabited by many Roman Catholics, several of them attended, fully determined to give battle to the proceedings of the day. Among those present we noticed the following :—Rev. Mr. Sampson, vicar of Prescot ; Rev. E. Carr, of St. Helen's; Rev. Mr. Ingham, of Rainhill ; Rev. W. Jeffs, of Farnworth ; Rev. Mr. Valiancy, Sutton ; Rev. Mr. Groom, Rainford ; Rev. W. Bellew, Prescot ; Rev. Mr. Sampson, Whiston; and the Hon. G. Stapleton, brother of Lord Beaumont. The Rev. the Vicar of Prescot was called to the chair, who briefly addressed the meeting, stating his full concurrence in its objects. The Rev. E. Carr then moved the first resolution—" That this meecing regards with indignation the late arrogant assumption of jurisdiction within these realms by the Bishop of Rome, and trusts that no one of their fellow-subjects may be found to countenance so manifest an usurpation of the undoubted rights of our sovereign lady the Queen." He said the time was come when they, as Protestants, should manfully stand forward, and battle against the aggressions of the Church of Rome. The Rev. Mr. Valiancy seconded the resolution. After which the Hon. Mr. Stapleten rose to address the meeting respecting the loyalty of Roman Catholics ; but there was no inclination to hear him. A person called Pennington also wanted to speak, but was also put down, The Rev. Mr. Tiernan, P.P. spoke seve ral times in opposition, contending that the Church of Rome was not such as had been represented, and denied that the Church of Rome countenanced persecution : it was only persecution of doctrine. A resolution► of thanks to Lord John Russell, for his manly and Protestant let ter, was agreed to, after which an address to the Queen was read by the Rev. Mr. Jeffs, put to the meeting, and passed. The meeting broke up, at four o'clock, giving three cheers for the Queen, =Woad, cries of "'No Po-. A great Protestant demonstration took' place in the Free Trade Hall, Manchester, on Thursday: The vast edifice, with its galleries, was crowded to overflowing, and two or three thousand persons were unable to gaiman en trance. The admission was by ticket, and the meeting was restricted to the friends of Protestantism: The pro ceedings were of a less enthusiastic c' aracter than those of the Liverpool demonstration on Wednesday, where the spirit of partizanship Was strongly evoked by the presence of so many Roman Catholics ; but the vast assemblage listened to the variouespeakers with the grave and earnest attention of men thoroughly in earnest, and a solemn protest against the recent unwarrantable assumption of Papal power in this country was unanimously agreed to. The appeals of the speakers to rally round the Queen on this invasion of her civil rights were responded to with en thusiastic loyalty by the entire audience springing to their feet and cheering them in the most deafening manner, Addresses to her MaiEsty and Lord John Russell were unanimously agreed to, and the meeting quietly dispersed at II o'clock. The London daily papers are filled with reports of meetings held in every part of the kingdom. The great Yorkshire meeting was held on Friday, in the Castle-yard at York. The High Sheriff took the chair. Earl Fitzwilliam moved, and the Earl of Hare wood seconded, the address to the Queen. The Hon. C. Langdale moved an amendment, condemning the inter ference with the rights of conscience. Sir Wm. Lawson seconded the amendment. R. P. Milnes, spoke in favour of the address. W. C. Maxwell, Esq.., followed in favour of the amendment. After a reply from Earl Fitzwilliam, the amendment was put and negatived, and the original motion was carried by an immenee majority One of the lergest meetings ever held in Bristol took place on Wednesday last, when the Dean of Bristol, in a short speech, which might almost be said to have electri fied the audience, said :—" It is admitted, nay affirmed, both by the Roman Catholics themselves, and by almost every bishop, if not every bishop who has spoken on the occasion, that this act of the Pope, against which we this day protest, is mainly attributable to, is the result, the natural result, of the conduct of some of the clergy of the Established Church—that there is a party within the Es tablished Church that has encouraged the Pope of Rome to take this measure of aggression. If this be true, then indeed the Church of England owes a heavy debt to the British community. If, as I believe, the people of Eng land separated from the Church of Rome in earnest pro. test against her falsehoods and domination, and framed the Church which is now established among us in direct antagonism to the Church of Rome, and for the uphold ing of those truths of the Gospel which Rome observed, and that allegiance to it which Rome claimed for her pon tiff that sits on her throne, then that any clergy of this Church so established should have ministered to the in terests of Rome, should have adopted more or less her principles, her doetrines, her practices, argues some greet supineness, some dereliction of duty upon the part of some one within that Church. (Loud cheers.) Either her bishops, the overseers of the'cler else another have been remiss, or pirty—(and I charge you now --the laity . . have been remiss; or else both - bishops and laity have been remiss; and the Church of England owes a great debt to the British community, which can only be dis charged by a newly-awakened vigilance, by a determina tion to repress this treason to the Church, this treason to the truth of the Gospel, and loyalty to our Sovereign, which has unhappily so long been allowed to fester so close in its very heart. (Loud cheers.) Now, don't be alarmed:at the next sentence lam going to say—l am not going to enter into any discussion, but just one word. It has been said that the Tractarians have countenanced Po pish practices in the formularies of our Church. I shall not stop to discuss whether this be so or not. I shall content myself by alleging that I do not believe within the whole formularies of our Church, in their spirit or in their letter, can he found the slightest shadow of so much as countenance, I will not say for some of their practices —and of their practices I am willing to take but secon dary heed—but of that doctrine of Tractarianisn which links them so fatally to Rome, I mean the substitution of a human priesthood for the sole priesthood of Christ— (loud cheers)—the substitution of the agency of man for the workines of the free spirit of God. (Cheers.) But if it be so, if it could be proved to be really true, that the Church of England does speak with so uncertain a voice as to admit. Tractarianism within her pale, with those who ire favourable, more or less, to the superstitious spirt of . . . Rome and their rites and observances, the people of Eng land owe a great duty to the Almighty God of truth, and that is, not to rest until a church speaking so uncertainly be again reformed (loud cheers), and brought nearer to the principles of the Reformation—that is, to the princi ples of the pure, sincere, word of God. I trust, however, that the discussions which present events may provoke will prove me to be right. I trust that this will shew that the Tractarians have no consistent footing within our Church. By this resolution you seem to say that you th.nk they have not a proper footing in our Church, that the Queen is opposed to such. Then take you also care that you shew yourselves opposed to them (loud cheers) whether you be members of the Established Church or not ; I speak to the laity. Already this city has spoken out well ; its memorial has been addressed to the bishop pointed against Tractarianism, and asking for tl interference to repress it. That memorial I have to state to you has been signed. by 6,247 people. Now, I speak then to you, citizens of Bristol ; follow up the steps you have already taken, and now, as a clergyman, I speak to you words which perhaps you think ought not to fall from the lips of one of the clergy ; but I tell you, the laity of every denomination, let the clergy of every denomination know that thq , are not lords over God's heritage. (Tre mendous applause; the cheering extended to the plat form.) There is a great contest going on in the world ; we have not only to contend against Roman Papacy, but we have to contend against Anglo-Papacy— (cheers) — and when I speak of Anglo-Papacy, I mean not the Pa pacy only within the Establishment, but the Papacy which is trying to establish itself within each denomina tion. (Loud cheers.) Let, then, your clergy, whoever they be, know that a church of Christ means a company of faithful men (loud cheers), and that it is the duty of clergymen to take counsel together, and be guided by the joint voice of that church, which has committed to it the ministry of the temple. One sentence more. The Trac tarians are always extremely happy to appeal to the fathers for their authority ; I mean also to follow them, and to call for one moment's attention to the sentence of one fa ther, a most eminent one, Father Ambrose, who says, " There is scarce a heresy that has ever entered into the Church of Christ, except through the way of the clergy ; but the trutn and simplicity of the Gospel have ever been retained by the fidelity of the laity." (Loud And pro longed cheering.) On Tuesday, meetings were held in Hertford, Maccles field, Great Yarmouth, and Stepney, at all which the greatest enthusiasm prevailed, and petitions were adopted. A court of the burgesses of Westminster was held on Wednesday, when an address to her Majesty was unani mously carried. The .Royal College of Physicians in Lon don has delivered an address to the Home Secretary for presentation to the Queen. The Pope was burnt in effigy on Tuesday night by the inhabitants of Ware, Herts, amid groans and execrations. The clergy of the East Riding of Yorkshire met at Be verly on Wednesday, in order to memorialise the Queen in support of the church and throne. The Archdeacon, Robert Wilberforce, ref uFed to attend, though he had summoned the meeting. He wrote a letter stating that, " it was unwise to impose any further restrictions upon the religious liberty of any class of the people. This, however, would not have prevented him attending the meeting, were it not that the civil power has this year as sumed that office of settling matters of doctrine which our formularies assign to the church." THE LIVERPOOL STANDARD. TO THE DUKE OF WELLINGTON. Herne Bay, Kent, Nov. 19. My Lord Duke,—l trust your grace will pardon the liberty that I, almost a total stranger to your grace, am now taking in writing on the subject of the Papal en croachments. During the passing of the act 9 and 10 George IV., A.D. 1829, your grace promised that you would, should you be disappointed at the conduct of Roman Catholics after the granting of the Emancipation Act, at the opening of parliament propose a bill for the re-enacting of the penalties against them. Surely the time has now arrived ; may I therefore appeal to your grace's feelings at the present moment of Papal arrogance and aggression ? It will assuredly soften your grace's anguish at the close of your valuable life, and add a crown of imperishable honour and glory to your memory, should your grace be the means of repelling this shameful attack on the supremacy of our beloved Queen, and the rights and privileges of our Apostolic Church. I have the honour to be, my lord duke, your grace's most obedient servant • _ FRED. PERCEVAL, Second son of the late Right Hon. S. Perceval Many of the Scotch synods have forwarded addresses to the Queen. The Rev. C. Hesketh, rector of North Meols has called a meeting at Southport, to consider the effect of the Pope's late Bull. The address to her Majesty from the members of the English bar has been signed by 747 gentlemen, consisting of 46 Queen's counsels, 3 masters in chancery, 9 serjeants at-law, and 687 outer-barristers. A lengthened correspondence has taken place on differ ent occasions, between the Bishop of London and the Tractarian disturbers, and the right reverend prelate, in consequence of the censure which has been recently cast upon him, has resolved, in order to justify himself, to lay the whole before the public. The Times, Morning Herald, Morning Post, Daily News, the Standard, and Globe, all contain articles ex posing the misrepresentations, fallacies, and evasions, in Dr. Wiseman's manifesto. The London daily journals, in fact, are as unanimous on this subject as the public at large. A statement has been going the round of the newspa pers that the Queen has expressed herself in strong terms relative to the lath Papal aggressions. The rumoured conversation upon the subject between her Majesty and Sir George Grey was first made public by the Rev. Dr. Jelf, Principal of King's College, London, and has since been contradicted in the Times by a writer possessed of sufficient influence to command a prominent place in that journal. _ _ _ An Anti-popish procession took place at Salisbury, on Friday evening. The procession included effiiges in full costume, of all the newly appointed Popish dignitaries, with their " holy father," and paraded every street. The procession was flanked by no less than 250 torch bearers, with flambeaux three feet long, and after passing completely through the city and Cathedral Close (except a short distancenear the Romanist chapel), the procession terminated its route at an enclosed field at the top of the city, called the Green Croft, where a spacious platform had been erected, over a huge bonfire, and here " his Holiness," and his minions, ware consigned to the flames, amidst a display of fireworks, and the contemptuous shouts of the multitude. Bury effort was made, through a Whig-Radical magistruc,, to, stop this expressiou of public feeling. MEETING AT WAVERTREE.-THE PAPAL AGGRESSION. On Friday evening last . ameeting was held at Kirkup'a coffee-house, Wavertree, to oppose the late insolent and insidious attempt of the Bishop of • Rome. The Rev. W. Badnall, M.A. presided : he was supported by the Revds. J. Edwards and T. Newstead. dissenting ministers; there were also present the Rev. F. Fenton, S. Holme, J. AA Picton, T. S. Gladstone, John Montgomery, W. C. Casey, C. Barber, T. Clare, J. 0. Johnson, H. Halhead. James Kenyon, J. Bristow. Thomas Chaffer, Thomas Fletcher, and William Smith, Esqrs. The proceedings throughout were animated and enthusiastic. The room, which is a• spacious one, was densely crowded, probably more than 400 persons being present, including many ladies, trades-- men of the village, and numerous persons in the humbler walks of life. The gentleman through whose praise worthy exertions the meeting was convened, was W. C. Casey, Esq. The Rev. CHAIRMAN having• read the placard calling the meeting, proceeded to deliver a most elaborate aad telling address. He said, he need not observe what were the terms of the paper he held in his hand, lie should say' that all assembled in that room felt already clear upon that point, and were ready to support it, but in order to prevent anything like controversy, he might then say that they were not met to discuss any question, but that they were called upon to protest against what he conceived to be an aggression, and he thought all in that room were of his opinion ; certain resolutions would be proposed, and it would be at the option o? the meeting either to earry.or reject them ; but he hoped and trusted for the credit of the township, for the credit of the land, they would be carried. He also hoped that gentle men would temper as much as possible their language with prudence—(hear, near,)—as his experience had shown him that no good end could be achieved by indulging in intemperate expressions. ( Hear, hear.) He considered it a duty earnestly to contend for the "faith once delivered to the saints," -yet he was of opinion they should . do this in a manner that would not be offensive to those who were opposed to them. It was with feelings of pleasure mingled with regret that he occupied the proud position astir to him. He was extremely sorry that should have arisen which made it necessary for them t mmstances meet on such an occasion He was not an advocate for -(hear,l—but therewere times promoting rolemical strif when they must throw off the mantle of peace and put on the panoply of war. Although he must regret the cir cumstances which induced this state of things, he must proceed in fualing that duty which conscience dictated. ing pleasure when that crowded meeting, for it convinced him of the exist ence of a Protestant feeling, which shewed that England at the core--(applause)—and was ready to repulse any encroachments that Rome might attempt ; he hoped that this feeling would extend to our colonies and reverberate through the whole British empire. (Loud applause.) He regarded the recent steps on the part of was sounc Rome in three points of view ; political, ecclesiastical, and religious his first position the rev man rem the oath of supremacy, dwelling on t pussag which forbid the jurisdiction of any foreign prince or pre late, and from the laneuage of the Papal brief showed that the prerogative of the Queen was impugned. If they look( d back to history they would find that the Pope considered this country the proudest jewel in his tiara, and when t his jewel was torn from him, did He would remind them that it was in the reign of good Queen Bess—(applause)—when the Spanish Armada was sent over. By God's help the Pope's designs were frus trated then • and if another such attempt were to be made now, he doubted not it would meet with the same result, if our blessed Queen should show the same degree of spirit. Of that he was conficknt, for no descendant of George 111. had ever been deficient in spirit. (Applause.) In his exposition of the ecclesiastical point of aggression Mr. Badnall was very pointed. He commenced by reading an article from 1' Univers on the Bishop of London's charge. The writer takes up and confirms the bishop's observa tions on the brief, as regards its denial of the Queen's It goes to affirm that the brief sub aut hority n. Canterbury, and that of Southwark for London, and goes on to show that any other than the bishops appoin'ed by the Pope must be schismatics, and possess no right to jurisdiction. From . this branch of the subject he proceeded the see - of W minster to that of the pretended claim of the Roman Catholic Ch.irch, to having planted a branch in this island, and showed that when in the sixth century St. Augustine was sent over by Gregory, the country was already Christian. inasmuch as Augustine summoned certain bishops and priests to his councils; he also quoted from Spelman, the reply made to Austin by the Abbot of Bangor; when the former attempted to enforce the claims of his sovereign, the abbot refused to acknowledge the Pope as supreme, asserting that the Bishop of Caerleon was his overseer. This opposition to St. Austin° was. moreover, confirmed by Dubin, a Catholic writer, who flourished in the six teenth century, so that the church still continued, much changed no doubt., but the same body that existed before any emissary from Rome had interforAl with it. The remaining point which Mr. B. dwelt upon was the religious s view of the matter, one of more importance than, the political ; their hearts ought to respond with gratitude when they looked back upon the glorious men who had sacrificed their lives in contending for religious freedom, they had that light of the Scriptures to guide them, which was set up by Luther and again by Ridley. (Hear.) Now they knew that in papal states those Scripture a sealed hook, the right of their using private judgment being forbidden (hear) : that which was intended to make men wise to salvation must be arrived at through the in fallible interpretation of the Pope. (Hear, hear.) He called upon them to support those principles which had raised this country to the eminence to which it is now elevated, and if they were to do this, there must be no shrinking, no halting, but like Judas Maccabeus their mottoes must be, " The help of God, Victory from God ;" having these watchwords, he felt confident that though a cloud might lower upon them, yet eventually it would be dispelled by the glorious sun, and finally raised by its happy instrumentality. Mr. Badnell resumed his seat much applauded. The Rev. J. EDWARDS, dissenting minister, rose to move the first resolution, which with the others, and the address, will be found in their proper place, our advertis ing columns. The rev. gentleman showed very powerfully that it was almost inaposslble to draw a distinction between civil and religious liberty, and that both would be tram pled upon if Romanism became rampant. • T. S. GLADSTONE, Esq., seconded the motion. He thought at the present moment the Pope was interfering with our rights, civilly and ecclesiastically. and the ag gression thns made must be resisted. (Applause.) They might depend upon it that, if they once allowed the Pope to fix upon them his spiritual fetters it would not be long before they would have to resist his temporal impo sition. The resolution was put to the meeting, and unanimously carried, amidst cheers. The Rev. ROBERT NEWSTEAD, Wesleyan minister, in a long address, moved the second resolution. He won dered why Cardinal Wiseman had not been sent back before, and told that his credentials were not sufficient, and would not do here. (Loud applause.) He hoped it would not he long before this was so. Mr. J. A. PICTON, in a very fluent address, seconded the motion. He was very warmly received. The Rev. SAMUEL FENTON, M.A„ said :--in rising to propose the resolution which has been entrusted to rty care I would premise by saying that I am not conscious of ever having intentionally or causelessly insulted man woman, or child, so that, if what I ern aisiout to deliver should sound unkind and severe, I disclaim all enmity to the persons of Papists or obstruction to their best interests. The war I have waged do still wage and intend to wage as long as I breathe, is uncompromising hostility to Popish principles and practices. because they are diametrically opposed to the truth of God as revealed to us in his word. It was his opinion the Papists ought to be very much cur tailed of the liberties which they enjoyed ; because when they were entrusted with liberties and privileges they did not know how to use them. There could be no doubt with regard to what the Pope meant. Popery was anti- Christian ; it was not a matter that offended merely against the state ; it was a great and fearful conspiracy against the civil and religious liberty of mankind. (Hear, hear.) That religion which could, under the garb of christianity, enter the Inquisition, from which thirty-nine waggon loads of human bones were conveyed, could not savour much of the mild principles of peace. (Applause.) He did not call the Pope a bishop at all—he was no more fit to be a bishop than was Judas Iscariot. (Laughter.) Popery had a very great influence upon the human con science, more so than had any other religion, where it was not vitally possessed ; all men bad not faith, and con sequently hundreds of thousands did not feel the princi ples they professed, and who, if they were called to suffer for the truth would not even stand singeing. (Laughter and applause.) Romanism was a false religion, that set human nature above God, that pandered to all the vices and deceitfulness of the human heart, and when it got dominion over the mind there was nothing left to its vo taries but to bow down to it ; and if they would not do the work of the Pope, the bishop, or the priest, its terrors were exercised by a threat to withhold extreme unction. (Hear, hear.) He could not see that this business was at an end just now. They might smile it over, but it was a deep seated matter : and lie felt thoroughly convinced, without pretending to the spirit of prophecy, that blood would flow from it. If they succumbed they were gone,—if they were indifferent they were disgraced. How, then, were they to act ? They must show a front of firm christian hostility, and he was thankful to say that this was not provoked on their (the Protestants) part; it was a cause less aggression —a shameful and impudent aggression, and any man who read the bull could not but feel disgusted at the audacity of the great head of the apostacy, for he did not even acknowledge our Queen, or any of those who acted under her. (Hear, hear, and tremen dous cheering.) An address to her Majesty had emanated from the gentlemen of the bar relative to the Pope's ag gression, and would these legal gentlemen have subscribed to this if the Pope's bull had been merely of the nature and tendency the Pope's followers would have them be lieve ? (Cheers.) Was the good sense—the gumption— all on the side of the Roman Catholics ? (Laughter and applause.) Our Queen, our Prime Minister, our Lord Chancellor, our judges, knew common sense, and they held a widely different opinion upon the matter; and what was the reason that there was such an assemblage there that night, but their common sense in interpreting that doctrine of the Pope ; they felt it as an insult to our Queen and an aggression on our country—an insult to common sense, and that our dearest interests were at stake. (Applause.) This was not a time to trifle and sleep—they were to be determined. (Hear, hear.) He believed that in the mystery of Providence the Pore had been allowed * make the present attempt upon true Christianity, and to stultify himself. It appeared to him that it is God's doing that this matter should have pro ceeded to be brough Ito the edge of a precipice. It .is the usual course of Divine wisdom that the devil should be glowed to have a long chain, so that when he is given a check the excellency of the power which gave the check might be ascribed to God, and not to puny, impotent man. We should approach the Queen with a request that she would maintain her and our privileges inviolate. (Hear, hear, and cheers.) The Pope's aggression was a blow aimed at her throne, as well as a conspiracy against our selves. (Hear, and applause.) The reverend speaker concluded, amidst much applause, by hoping that they would all join, heart and hand, to overcome such damna ble doctrines. Several other speakers delivered most admirable ad dresses, among which was a very able one by Samuel Hohne, Esq., but we cannot possibly make room for a longer report. TRANMERE, CHESHIRE The churchwardens having called a meeting of the in. habitants for the purpose of memorialising her Majesty upon the subject of the recent Papal aggression., the. place of meeting—the Britannia Room, newly erected by Mr. Charles Dunbar—was filled by a highly respectable and enthusiastic body of the parishioners, numbering over three hundred persons. The whole proceedings were conducted in a most peaceable manner, and a loyal and energetic address was read and approved of. Mr. David Ross, the senior overseer, was called to the, The first resolution was moved by WM. WAREtNa PERREY, Esq.. who addressed the meeting in as neat and. forcible speech upon the necessity of Englishmen proving worthy of their name upon the present crisis. The reso lution was as follows : `` That the presumptuous exercise of power and jurisdiction, Spiritual or temporal, by a Popishbishop, within the realm of England, is a deliberate invasion of the Queen's Prerogative,— a wanton violation of the National Church,—and a daring in road upon the civil and religions rights of every Protestant member of if community.' Seconded by Mr. C. WOODARD ( who also addressed. the meeting) d carried un , coiid resolution- as follows-Lwas moved by Mr. A.

It is precisely on this mnd that we'object to it. You surely would not have h an argument had you not supposed the c either extremely ignorant of the canon law, or extremely obtuse to the inevitable consequences of its application. Under the canon law, Popish jurisdiction in things spiritual becomes an engine of coercion and op pression in temporal things. Temporal authority is subordinated. and whenever the power can be acquired— i. e., whenever the canon law can be made really applica ble, the civil sword becomes the menial executive of the supreme decrees o' the spiritual court. Take the follow extract from the first book of the " Extravaganies," as a fair specimen of the canon law, wh ►pplicable to England. a, Me vero ab acelesia. exercendns sub gladio, et temporalem auctoritatem spiritali subjici potes tati.

I trust the British public will imbibe a wholesome horror of the canon law ; and communicate the same in a very practical shape to the British parlia ment.—l am, Sir, faithfully one of your opponents in this matter, HUGH M'NEILE. LORD FEILDING AND ARCHDEACON MANNING.—It iS serted that Lord Feilding, a very short time previous to s entering the Romish Communion, consulted Arch- deacon Manning as to the claims of the Church of Eng land, and asked his advice, when Archdeacon Manning is said to have given the following reply—" I cannot in my conscience undertake to say that the Church of England is a true branch of the Catholic Apostolic Church of Christ." If this is true, it ought to be known ;if untrue, it is but fair to draw the Archdeacon's attention to it, .0 order that he may. contradict it. _ _ SERIOUS NO-POPERY RlOT.—Burning the Pop' in effigy on Thursday evening was attended with conse quences which might have resulted in a fearful disturb ance. An effigy of the Pope had been exhibited in the shop of Mr. Hardwick, a draper in High-street, Chelten ham, during the day, and a mob having been attracted by it, a dense crowd gradually collected, and demanded possession of the effigy. This was for some time resisted, in consequence of an order forbidding a procession; but at length the figure, despoiled of its gaudy habiliments, was given up to the mob by the police, (but not before several of Mr. Hardwick' windows were broken,) who thereupon, after parading severnl quarters of the town, ttlen proceededthrough ` t. George's-square to the Roma ist Chapel, near the door of which they placed their effigy, and then set fire to it, by means of some palisades which they tore up for the purpose. This was, however, not the worst part of the performance, for we regret. to say, during the auto da fe of the Pope, nearly all the wined:•s of the chapel were broken, and itlwas not before ht that the mob had dispersed. We cannot too midnig strongly repudiate such absurd doines. CARDINAL WISEMAN.—A " Catholic," writing to the Times in explanation and extenuation of the Papal ag gression, draws the following picture of Cardinal Wise man :—" He is known to be a vain man, an ambitious man, a man with little prudence. but large ideas of his own personal aggrandisement. He loves dominion. To possess power is his great, delight, to misuse it is his con stant characteristic. Like his ideas, his language is full of aspiring pride and pompous assumption. If he wish to make a regulation, he issues a statute' ; if he pro pound a scheme of finance, he assumes the style of the Supreme Pastor, and calls it a' Proprio Motu'. So in the pompous and vainglorious pastoral which has given so much offence to our fellow-subjects. He speaks of his dignity tine his nalliurn as if these were all that religion desired ; he talks rather as if the nation were at his feet, than as if c work of charity and humility, and meekness, and long suffering, were to be accomplished. It is the nature of the man, the tone and temper of his mind. Nor is this all. Born a foreigner, educated a foreigner, and domiciled during the greater part of his life in a foreign land, lie knows nothing of English feeling, and has no sympathy with English notions. Yet he aspires to be the leader of a numerous party in the country, pretends to talk of English predilections and English antipathies, and would fain persuade the world, a: he has doubtless persuaded the Pope, that he, and he alone, is to be the saviour of his adopted country, the light that shall lead her back to the truth, and the means by which her spiritual regeneration is to be effected." Such is the new dignitary appointed to preside over the Catholic Church in England, as described by a member of his own communion. Da. WisEmAst's LEGACY.—Dr. Wiseman has written to a correspondent, who applied to him with reference to a statement in the Daily News, " That the late Mr. Taylor, of Weybridge, had been induced, in his latter days, to disenherit his own son and to leave his estate, of the value of £3,000 per annum, to Dr. Wiseman." The Doctor's reply has been trumpeted as a triumphant answer ; but the worth of it will be gathered from the following extraordinary disclosures made in the following remarks of the Morning Herald of Saturday ' Dr. Wiseman's ' most candid letter informs us that he was not personally known to the late Mr. Taylor, newer saw him, nor corresponded with him, and that he was ' not named in his will.' All this. we dare say, is literally true; and yet behind all this there lurks a concealed, but fear ful, fact. A legal friend of ours happened, only yester day, to be overhauling Dr. Taylor's will, out of mere curiosity to see what all this bother was about. And this will, helinforms us, " Bequeaths the whole of his property to his children for their lives ; and after their decease the estate at Weybridge, and some land and eie , teen houses at Islington, to the use of the Rev. Dr. Griffiths, Vicar.. apostolic of the Romish Church, if he should be living at the time of the death of the last surviving child ; but, if not, to the Vicar-apostolic of the Romish Church for the London district, for the time being ; which Vicar-apos tolic, we believe, is no other than Dr. Wiseman ! S o , then, it turns out to be substantially true, as the Daily News said, that the Romish Church gets the estate, and the children are merely tenants for life. Of all this Dr. Wiseman, in his ' most candid and satisfactory letter,' said not one word. Oh, no I `Mr. James Taylor, the sup posed disinherited son, with his sister, enjoys every far thing of his father's property.' Enjoys ! but in what capacity ? As tenants for life,' the Romish Church hav ing taken care to get hold of the estate in perpetuity. As ,to Mr. James Taylor and his sister,' supposing them to have families. how much of all this estate will their child. fen I enjoy ?",4
