These facts have not been denied, and can not be. Perhaps, as long as this is so, it is in vain to meet my specific statement of facts by a general assertion that the society is not in the hands cf the Tractarians ; or to attempt to throw dust in the eyes of the public by ostentatiously payaeing the theory that all must be sound as long as the whole bench of bishops are on the com mittee, and so diverting attention from another very im portant fact, viz., that public societies are virtually in the management of a small number of working members. TO HIS EMINENCE THE MOST REV. ARCHBISHOP WISIMAN MOST Ritv. SIR,—You some short time since announ ced your intention to govern eight counties in England, intimating that the character of your government was to he Spiritual, and its rule the canon law of your church. A highly-distinguished individual has made known to you that this law constitutes the great permanent objection to the erection of the new hierarchy under which it is to be administered. The reasonableness of such an objection is manifest to all who are acquainted with the system against which it has been made. _ _ _ It is possible, however, that there may be misinforma tion on this very important subject. The See of Rome has permitted the omission of a clause, at which alarm had been taken, from the bishop's oath. If a similar principle of castigation have been applied to the canon law, it would not be unbecoming in you to make the fact known. I would therefore beg to inquire whether, in contemplation of the enterprise your church has hazarded in England, the canon law by which English Roman Catholics are to be governed has been expunged from those statements of dogma and principle which have been condemned by pub lic opinion, and whether you will be pleased to refer to some such corrected volume of your laws, sanctioned by competent authority, and containing an express repudia tion of anti-social doctrines promulgated in your " CorFus Juris Canonici !" I remain, Sir, yours, &c., IToRTim ER. O'SULLIVAN The Notfa Mercury says that Dr. Newman is likely to be created Romish 13:shop of Nottingham. A sentence of excommunication has been passed against Lord Beaumont for his recent letter. The Wesleyan Committee of Privileges have agreed to an address to the Queen, in which they suggest the conduct of certain clergy as the cause of the Papal schism. A Goon MOVE.—A Protestant meeting of the laity has been called at Freemason's-hall, on Thursday next, Lord Ashley in the chair, to protest against the Pope's bull, and " also to invoke her Majesty's aid to suppress the various Romish innovations recently introduced in some quarters into the services of the Church of England." George Bacon, of Lamcote House, near Nottingham, a dissenter of the .ndependent sect, has written a letter to the senior Roman Catholic priest at St. Barnabas, Not tingham, presenting a painting of " Christ in the outer court, crowned with thorns," by Gasper Crayer, for an altar-piece to his chapel, as a proof that he is " not one of those whose mind is contracted in matters of Church discipline," and that he " would be the last to enslave the consciences •Jf other who do not see with the same eyes as himself." The painting is valued at 200 guineas. A correspondent of the, Times calls attention to the cha racter of the Romish books of devotion. He borrowed Iron? a young lady, a friend of his, " a Daily Companion" and " Complete Preparation," published in this country for the use of English Papists, as late as 1845. We can not pollute our columns with the filthy stuff contained in its " devotions for confession ;" suffice it that the writer is fully justified in exclaiming: " Every crime for which Sodom and Gomorrah were burnt is here openly alluded to ; and this book is a Roman Catholic Lady's Daily Companion t" _ _ Lo r rd Fielding, as high-sheriff of Flintshire, has, in obedience to a requisition most respectably and numer ously signed, convened a county meeting at Mold, to con skier the recent pretensions of the Italia❑ Bishop ; or, in his lordship's phraseology, "the late ecclesiastical ar rangements of the Catholic Church' in this country"— thus begging the question at issue. His lordship's new teachers ought to have told him that there has been no Catholic Church, logically speaking, since the rupture of the Patriarch of Constantinople with the Pope. A correspondent of the Times points out that Lord Fielding's is not a solitary instance of money left or given by a parent to build and endow a Protestant Church, and an edifice for Romish worship having been raised in lieu ? At Erdington, a village near Birmingham, and scarcely two miles from Oscott,a beautiful building, like a modern cathedral, has been completed and opened during the past summer. The money, £lO,OOO, was intended by Mr Haigh, of Leeds, to build a church for his son, who wa at Oxford, and intended for the Protester son, however, has joined the Papist schi It ministr sties, and has thus appropriated his father's bequest or gift. BISHOP GII.LIS AND THE REV. MR. BAlLEE.—Bishop Gillis has addressed a letter to the Rev. Mr.. Baylee Pro fessedly in reply to the publicatio) of the letter with re ference to the perversion of Lird Fielding and the part enacted by the Roman Catholic Bishop above named. Dr. Gillis states—" On receipt of your first letter, I wrote to the noble lord for whose soul you are solicitous to draw his and Lady —'s attention to the footing on which you have now thought fit to place the matter. When I receive their answer I shall know how far publicly to deal with your late contributions to the Herald. Mean while, rev. sir, I must leave the course open for you to walk over as if treading undisputed ground, and shall only add that the imputation you have thrown out against -me, of having privately circulated a printed account of our conference, is one to which, in justice to myself, I am bound to give the most unqualified denial." Would it be charitable to suppose that this seeming contradiction is in reality an admission of all that Mr. Diylee had stated ? We see no reason to doubt that such is the case ; unies is means he did n ich account of the conference at all? But this we can :;arcely believe, for Mr. Baylye has distinctly affirmed ;nee that Dr. Gillis had about eighty copies printed, and of them to one individu.al and . yet the Doctor taving" circulated" them Such is the effect of Romish teaching. THE ASSERTIONS OF Dn. WISEMAN.—Dr. Wiseman, in that slippery pamphlet which he has just put forth, is pleased to say, amongst other things, which, of course, he knows that none of " the faithful" will dare to doubt — that a Bishop's See should be named n, and that the Ro nish Sees are Can he be ignorant that the Ro7 never " territorial." manists in this country boast that they have a Bishop of Oisory ! a Bishop of Meath ! a Bishop of Kerry ! none of which titles, I suspect, are taken from cities or towns ? contempt of ti nth, and to be considered as mere blocks, which can neither hear nor see—to be told anything and everything which may be thought to serve the cause of the Church ; and to be expected to take all upon trust, though it openly contradicts our senses and our reason. — Evening Mail Morning Bera ld states, on authority, that Dr. Wiseman has not been out of England during the week. Upon his departure from St. George's Chapel, on Sunday week, accompanied by his chaplain, he proceeded to the seat of a Roman Catholic gentleman, in Buckinghamshire, where he has been actively engaged in conference with some of the most influential of the Roman Catholic peers and commoners for the last four days. The result of the lengthened consultation is to be the issuing of a manifesto from the Rotnanists in this country, a most important portion of which will be a serious castigation of whnsp Iptte.r to the Earl of Zetland has mortal offence to the zealous supporters of the Pope be a member of' the Romish Church. The Cardinal, having completed the object of his sojourn, returned to town on Friday, and arrived at his permanent residence, in Golden-square, where he will remain in retirement until after his installation,. which is to be gone through in the strictest possible privacy. ON CLAPHAM-COMMON some days past a huge effigy of the Pope has been para ded in a carriage about the neighbourhood of Clapham, with the ultimate view of its being publicly burnt on Clapham-common. Every night last week crowds of persons have assembled on the common in anticipation of the exhibition. They were, however, disappointed till last Friday night, when the execution formally took place, in the prdsence of an immense assemblage of persons from all quarters of the metropolis. The figure, which was of huge size, was attired in a bright scarlet coat. A stake-was erected in the middle of the common; and the effigy having been attached to it, various combustible motet ials•were piled around, and the whole burnt amidst the shouts of the assembled spectators.

I remember that soon after the and when the popular cry against the amoug them them, there we almost imm- Reform BM was . ._ Church of England was loudest, I travelled in the steam-boat from Dundee to Edinburgh in company with Mr. Macpherson, a Romanist Priest, a very well-bred, and a very well-conducted man. He introduced himself to me as the Romish Priest, then the sole priest at Dundee. We elitered into a long conversation respecting the state of religion, and the futurity of our re• spective Churches. I assure you, from my own knowledge, that during that s , •eson of difficulty no portion of our enemies were more busy and bitter against the Church of England than our Romanist fellow-subjects •, nor (lid Mr. Macpherson him self. though personally civil and polite, and professing that the Church of England was the only child of the Reformation en titled to his respect, conceal his sentiments on the subject, while at the same time he expressed his profound contempt for all the other Protestant communities in the kingdom. When a favourable opportunity occurred, I put the following question to my fellow-traveller,—" Now,how can you, Mr. Macpherson, with the feelings you have this day expressed respecting the Church of England, and your utter contempt of its Protestant assailants, joiii in the sat,ar.,e howl of Dorn with her, down with her to the foundation.' " His answer was, " Because I know that if the Church of England were pulled down, and and was a `Tabula rasa '(his very word would be no hindrance to the 4ll s establishment of any Church." THE PROTESTANT ASSOCIATION OF LOYAL ORANGE MEN.—This Association has issued an address to the Pro testants of England, calling upon them to be up and stir... ring at the present eventful crisis.

C. B. Dalton, M.A., rural dean and rector of Lambeth, in the chair, to protest against the attempt of the Pope to establish spiritual jurisdiction in England.—The Rev. E. Blake, rector of Rotherithe, proposed, and Mr. J. Mar maduke Rosseter, J.P., seconded, the adoption of a pro test, and it was unanimously agreed to,—The Rev. J. Jenkinson, vicar of Battersea, proposed an address to the diocesan for the kind exhortation and monition contained in his answer to the letter of the deanery.- The Rev. Charlton Lane, M.A., rector of Kennington, seconded the address.—The Rev. J. Gilman, incumbent of Trinity Church, Lambeth, said he had attended that meeting, hoping that nothing would be proposed which would not meet the unanimous approval of all present, whether high church or low church. He could not think that any thanks were due to the bishop of that diocese for casting a slur upon a portion of the clergy. He for one would not thank the bishop for attempting to place a brand upon him and the high church party. Dr. Pusey, Dr. Newman, Wilberforce, and others who had been guilty of Roman ising, had issued certainly not from the high church party; and he believed that most of the evils complained of had arisen from the ultra proceedings of the latitudinarian and so called " evangelical school," engrafting maxims of dis sent upon the true Protestantism of thechurch. To his mind the letter of the Prime Minister was a most dastardly pro duction. (Hisses, interruption, and the intervention of the chairman to procure a silent and patient hearing.) He would gladly have supported a resolution pledging them to unite in opposition to Romanising practices in the church.—The Rev. Mr. Greig, curate of Kennington, said the gentleman who had just sat down was the same who had refused to address the Archbishop of Canterbury upon his appointment, because he bore the calumniated name of Sumner.—Mr. Gilman, starting up, and in a tone of great excitement—Those words are false. (Cries of " Chair," " order," hisses, and great interruption.) Mr. Greig, Mr. Gilman, and twenty other gentlemen essayed to speak at once.—The Chairman, addressing Mr. Gilman, re quested him to desist.—Mr. Gilman, in a loud voice and most energetic manner—Those words are false. I came prepared for this ; and I shall have an apology or a reply. —The Chairman appealed to Mr. Greig not to persevere with allusions of an irrevelant character.—The Rev. Mr. Greig : I apologise, then, to the meeting and the chair man, for having been irregular.—Mr. Gilman said when he used the word " false," he had done so, perhaps, rather with reference to what was coming, than to what had been said. (Laughter, and " Oh, oh.")—The Rev. S. Smith, of St. George's, Camberwell, moved an amendment to the address.—The Rev. E. Lilley, of Peckham Chapel, seconded the amendment, but it was lost by a large ma jority.—An address to the primate was then unanimously adopted, and after a vote of thanks to the chairman, the proceedings terminated with prayer. At Gloucester, on Tuesday, the Pope, Dr. Wiseman, and Dr. Ullathorne were burnt in effigy—the Pope in mitre and surplice, Wiseman in scarlet hat and surplice, the bishop in surplice only. . Each had a rosary sus pended round his neck, composed of horse chesnuts ! Thus attired, the figures were respectfully and carefully handed to the trolley, or low waggon, waiting for their reception ; four monks, in hood and cloak, and -torch bearers, followed, and calico flags, with " No Popery in the Church" and " The Queen's Supremacy" painted on them, were exhibited. Other torchbearers were placed before and after the waggon, and a second " No Popery" flag having been unfurled, a band struck up the national anthem, and off marched the procession, and, amid a continuou s display of amateur pyrotechnics, continued its course through all the principal streets, the great human stream everywhere receiving additions to its magnitude. All was noise and bustle •, shops were shut, to prevent the breaking of glass ; windows were crowded with female faces, eager to witness the passing of the Pope; and had his Holiness been these in propria persona, he would scarcely have called together a greater multitude—for, when the procession reached Westgate-street, it was attended by little less than ten or twelve thousand per sons. • Firearms of every description were in requisition, and an incessant fusilade was kept up, contrasting strangely with the shrieks which were frequently uttered by some " unprotected female," affrighted by her prox imity to an ignited cracker. The only incident worthy of particular notice as occurring during the " pilgrimage" happened in St. Mary's-square. When the procession arrived at the scene of the martyrdom of Bishop Hooper, the mask fell from the Pope's face, and had to be nailed on again ! Is not. this as much a miracle as that of the " winking Madonna" in the Romanist chapel at Rimini ? The funeral pyre had been constructed in the Town Ham, and thither the effigies were conveyed and burnt, about nine o'clock at night. _ _ POPISFI MATER . lALS —Since the excitement which has existed in the country respecting the recent aggressive movement-on the part of the Pope of Rome, some curio sity has been excited at the large importation, during the last six months, of popish symbols and emblems from France into Southampton, by the South Western Com pany's steamers. On Tuesday last a portion of the cargo of the steamer Wonder, which arrived at Southampton from Havre, consisted of large cases of Romish books, silver crosses, ebony crucifixes, materials for priests' vest ments, religious medals, altar candle cases, carved and gilded images of Christ, pocket sacramental utensils. &c. Tens of thousands of these books and symbols have been imported into this country by the South Western Com pany's steamers during the last few months. In one cargo, a short time since, there wen eight cases, contain ing upwards of -1000 books. The hooks are of all sizes. from the huge folio to the small duodecimo, and of all kinds : great numbers of them are of that unchaste cata chetical kind so obnoxious to all rrotestants.— The crosses, crucifixes, sacramental utensils, and images are of very superior Parisian workmanship. Some of the materials for priestly vestments are very splendid. The altar candle cases are formed of a composition to imitate wax. They are hollow, and contain a metal case with a spiral spring. Into this latter case the real candle is pla ced, by which the burning lights on the Roman Catholic altars must always appear of an imposing height. POPISH CEREMONIES AT ST. BARNABAS.—A London correspondent of a daily paper thus describes what he saw at this church :—" The love of display is carried to an unnatural extent. A table—we beg pardon, cross decorates the communion altar'—and a cross or crucifix dress which savours of that used by a lay brother of the Papal communion. Whenever a clergyman moves he is preceded by one of these extraordinarily-dressed per sonages, who endeavours to look as grave as if ho were not participating in an awful farce.

Ms ecparture from England, on the 20th of November, was ,1 e anniversary of the burning of Richard Bayfield, in 1531, because he had brought over and sold in England books, " to the intent," to use his own words, " that the Gospel of Christ might be set forward, and God the more glorified among Christian people." Amongst the books, for selling which Bayfield was burnt, was the New Testament in English. was in that very church. They • had assembled together to worship God after the dictates of their own consciences. Many of the persons present had come with a single eye to God's glory : many had come out of mere to distUrb them in their devotions. • He was afraid he was speaking the truth when he said that many at the present time in that church had come merely out of curiosity, and had no thought of worshipping their Crea tor and Saviour. At this point a few hisses were given by some of those standing in the middle aisle, which were soon silenced by those near saying " Shame, shame." He (the preacher) hoped he was wrong in supposing that many who had attended that morning had come to dis turb the rest. At this juncture many persons who were stationed in different parts of the church commenced coughing, which was continued for some time, but the sermon was brought to a conclusion without any for midable obstructidn, except that which was occasioned by persons hastily leaving their seats and making towards the doors. One remark was not at all relished by some of the congregation, to the effect that he was afraid a London mob had got into the church to interrupt the proceedings, Upon the congregation dispersing, they found a crowd of nearly three hundred in front of the church, and many made an attempt to enter the building however, under the direction of tl kept a space clear for the cor and at the same time preve superintendent, regation to p through, an entranc Many of those who found themselves prevented from the edifice amused themselves by crying out as enterir they walked to and fro " No wafer gods !"

Mr. Rus sell, the superintendent of police, with great forbearance, informed him that, if such were done, it would, in all probability, lead to a disturbance of the peace, and he could not think of allowing it.
