PUSEYISM AT ST. PAUL'S AND ST.
BARN ABAS.

Lest evening a public meeting of the lay members
of the church of England in the ab ive districts of the out
ward of St. George's Hanover-square, was held at Kenn.
[ Cuthbertson's rooms, Lower Belgrave-plate, fir the purpose
of agreeing to an tddress to be presented to the Bishop of
London, against the Romish practices still carried on in the
parish.—J. G. HARKIB. Esq , presided.
The CHAIRMAN in oi.ening the proceedings observed,
that the present meeting could not have taken place but for
the kindness of the proprietors of the room who, though not
church of England men, at sere acceded to an application
for the fres use of their premises. (Cheers and hies, I.) He
had no doubt that those who attempted to disturb the
meeting were the friends of the Puseyite clergymen of
St. P.ul and St. Bsrcahae, for in those didr.cts
they had been refused the use of a room adequate
to the occasion. (Renewed hissing.) He had no fear of the
question, for those opposed to it were but the puny fastidious
Isolowers of the Rev. Mr. Bennett. (Great cheering ) Ho
could name some hundred tradesmen who, opposed to the
13.sbel of Banishes and St. Paul's, dared not come forward
to express their opinion. (Cries of " Names," and consider.
able confusion.) He noticed one man amongst the inter
rupten who was organ blower of St. Paul's. (Hear, hear.)
The speaker, after going into the details of the Rontanising
practices in those churches, concluded by stating that all
these practices were still carried out, save the lighting of
csanes, and it behoved them to request the Lord Bishop of
London to at once exercise his authority in removing evils
utterly repugnant to the true principles of Christianity.
(Here a gentleman came to the chairman, end informed
him that if be was allowed to address the meeting he would
engage to keep his party quiet.)
The CHAIRMAN bad to inform the meeting that the
gentleman at the bead of the hewn would address them
(Cheers and counter-cheers.) He would take that oppor-
tunity Of informing the meeting that the opposition was
organised the evening timbre in the church of St. Bunging.
with Sir John Hartagton presiding. (Chcen and uproar.)
It was a meeting of the congregation, and they molted that
they would not alien one jot of the mummeries introduced
by Mr. Bennett. (Great interruption.)
Mr. FItEETH, in moving the adoption of an address to
the Lord Bishop of London, observed that he would not ge
into rte doctrines of Mr. Bennett, for that gentleman was
the friend of very dear friends of bis own. It was enough
for him to state, that with the great majority of the parish
loners he was opposed to them. He could state that thus
doctrines had caused amongst his own family much unhap.
pines' and estrangement. (Hear, hear.) For Mr. Bennett
he had the highest respect, but he could not allow that to
support him in grievous errors. (Cheers and uproar.) Tee
parishioners were greatly injured by the conduct of the rev.
gentleman, inasmuch as they were obliged to attend church,'
out of their distnct, and to which they had no claim. (Hear.)
The speaker concluded by moving the address, which was
to the eft. ct of expressing their gratitude for his lordship's
prompt acceptance of Mr. Bennet's resignation ; but at the
same time b. gging to acquaint him that the mummeries
of superstition bad not been abandoned, except that the
candles were ern lighted ; sod they (the parishi.sners)
humbly prayed his lordship at once to r. store the church
earvice in the churches of St. Barnet's' and S.. Paul,
thereby enaleirer the inhabitants to attend divine serv:ce in
their own dining.
Mr. ?former seconded the acting,.

Mr. PARROCH rose to speak to the resolution. Ile wee
note Pustyity, but u a Church of Befriend man could not
allow the athletes to be tent to the brd bishop with mil-
s'atemente. It stated that but one objectionable puettee,

that of the lighted candles, had been abandoned at 'Bt. Bat:
nabss, but he could state from positive knowledge that in
addition to that others bad been abandoned—the invosatlon
of the Trinity before the sermon, and the raying with
tanks to the people ; the crossings had also been aban-
doned, beside a &am other objectionable matters. (Great
uproar.) He would tyke care that the lord bishop eiould
be enlightened as to the truth, for as the address stood it
was unjust. (" Hear, bear," and uproar.)
Mr. GIBSON, as one ot Mr. Bennett's rtongregation, re-
, grettec tbs• so good a man should have been spoken of in
such unchristian and bitter terms by persons proftwiag
themselves members of the Church ot England. He tad
been a csostant attendant at St. Thumbs. and he dec:arid
that be never witnessed what were called B. ,manising mum-
meries. . .

Here the uproar became go great that the chairman for
WI half an hour failed to make himself heard, the great
majority of tho meeting rioting to allow the speaker to
proceed, and his party insisting upon hie beiog hatescd to.
The chairman put the address, which was carried by a large
majority.
A rote of eongratulation to the ptriab of Chelsea for tho
stand they had mada aga nit Paula's was eanied, and
alter thanks to tha chair, the meeting separated.

BRITISH MEDICAL FIND.—A large and influential
meeting of the profession in Bath was held at the Bath
General Rapti'', on the 23rd ult., in support of the society,
and for the purpose of hearing from Mr. Hawtayne, the
infamy, an explanation of the various obi. ets it combines.
Amongst the gentlemen present were Drs. Hodges, D mite,
Falconir, Clark, and I•D armor, Messrs. Norman, Loden,
Boum, Bruce, Cox, King, Kasen, B,one, Unchain,
Skeate, F. Stocks ell, T. G. S'ockwe 11, }Lewin, Terry,
&c. Resolutions expressing high approval of the objects of
the loci. ty, and declaring them to be worthy of the support
and encouragement of the profession at large, were unani-
mously agreed to. Meetings of a similar nature are taking
place in the principal towns throughout the kingdom.—Bach
Cleronick.

REPRESENTATION OF THE TOWER HAMLETS.—A
general conference of delegates representing the several
branch parliamentary and financial infirm associations in the
borough of the Tower Hamlets took place on Taesday even-
ing, at the Temperance-hall, Mile-end, for the purpose of
deliberating on the steps to be taken for ensuring a proper
representation of the borough, whenever an election, for
either one or two members, may oc or. There was a full
attendance; Mr. Newton, of Beaumontxquare, presided.
Tie subject was discussed at great length, and several
persons were mentioned as desirable andidatos on the reform
interest; but in the present stage of ,the question it would
be premature to give their names. A resolution was ulti
manly come to, that the delegates should be requested to
ascertain, by convening general meetings of their respective
branch associations, the opinion of the members generally
as to the parties who would be most 1:locly to unite the
greeted number of suffrages in their favour, as can-
didates for the representation of the borough on
the principles of parliamentary and financial reform.
The opinion was generally expressed that, owing to the
probable introduction of questions in the ensuing anion of
more than ordinary interest, and questions on which the
usual bonds of party may be expected to be loosened, it was
essential that the reformers of the Tower Hamlets, and of
every other large constituency, should be prepared for
prompt and efficient action, in the case of a sudden dissolve
tion of parliament. A further resolution, moved by Mr.
Matson, and seconded by Mr. Allan, was passed, in the form
of a recommendation to the central association, suggesting
that meanies should be immediately taken ler obtaining
petitions to parliament from all the branch associations
throughout the kingdom, in support of Mr. Huta's motion
for a reform of parliament on tae principles advocated by the
astociation, and which is expected to be brought forward at
an early period of the station. Yesterday, Mr. Matson, one
of the delegates, presented this resolution to the council of
the central association, and received from that body the
saturant" that the necessary steps would be taken to carry it
into effect.
BERGLARIRS.—On Sunday night two men, armed
with pistols and crow ban, broke into the house of Mr. Trios.
Sheldon, at Wyaston, Derby. They were resisted, and used
their fire-arms at the inmates, whom they treated with much
violence. They slot a pointer dog and stole 31.101. and a
silver watch. Tne same men, it is supposed, went to Mr.
William Diking, at Shirley, whose house they also burgle
timely entered, discharging their pistols off repeatedly to
the great terror of the family, who took refuge in one of the
upper apartments. The fellows remained some time on the
premises, consuming oaks arid wine. They were, however,
disappointed in their search for money, only succeeding in
getting hold of about 30s. After leaving the house they
broke into the stable, and took thereout a valuable horse,
which the fellows, who are described as of gentlemanly ap-
pearance, mounted and rode off. The horse was subeequenily
found on Tuesday morning, at Ashbourne.—On the same
night some thieve* obtained an entrance into the house
of Mr. Goodbody, a grocer in Ring•street, Cambridge, nc
person being therein, by picking a small lock on the
back door. It would seem that Mr. Goodbody, who is
a young beginner, has some rather acentric habits in the
secretion of is money, and that these biblm must have been
known to the thieves. After ransacking the first4loor room
and stepping a sofa bedstead of the squibs, &e. they pro
ended cep stain and broke open sundry boxes before they
came upon the object of their Dearth. At last, on moving
a snail box, they discovered under the edge of a carpet a
parse containing a cheque for 581. 2.5. 34. on Wort
Fisher's bank, and 121. 17e. 61. in gold and silver, with
some keys, which they anted away. The cheque has at
been presented, and payment will, of Court', be stopped.
Mr. Goodbody Is a Slagle an, and the only other inmate al
the house is his stresttos.

PAPAL ENCROACHMENTS.

CORNWALL COUNTY MEETING.

A public meeting of the I reeholdersacdinVabitsnts
of the county is! Cornwall, ne the sebjett of the reeont papal
aggrention,was held in th,fibire Hell, Bodrain, en Tennley,
at noon. The High Sheriff, W. DAUBVZ, of HiWow,
presided.
Sir C. LEMON, Bar' , proposed an address to her
Mejesty, and having read it, said that emsetting in the
nature of an insult Lad bcon pat an the people of Beg-
land, he thought, could hardly be doubted, if from no
other reason than this, that the Pope and his ogee,
Dr. Wteernso' distiiirly founded their procreliega on
acts that had been done by some of the clergy of the
church of Eng.and, which denied the supremacy of
the crown, and set at ~ought one of the keeling character-
istics of the constitution—(" hear, hear," and cheers)—that
the Pope had been 'reties under the belief that hie prams-
Diets were fostered by some of the clergy in England, who
bad declared that they were ashamed of their religion, and
were sighing to resume that yoke which the 7 had cast off at
the relormat ion. (Clic.. re.) It was known well enough
that the Rowan catholic church never would acknowledge
the English church, but the position wa. held privately, and
not flung in the face of the people of England, until the
present time, when an anathema was pronounced, such as
they had not witnessed for many hundred years, and they
were net the more likely to bear it quietly by reason of the
Pupa's conduct to the people of Ireland, where Le had
done everything to aggravate the
.dieseesiors of that unfor-
tunate country. (Cheers.) He thought there VIM some
ground of offence in this also. He woaid call their
attention to a little book called the " Churchman's
Diary." It eas an e'marack f r the use of the clergy of the
March of England. Ili price was threep. nee, which implied
a very large circulatton, as it could net possibly, at that
Fice, be remunerative unless sold by thousands, and he cots
afraid that he mint infer that a great many clergymen were
in the habit of using it. In this little alumnae kh. found—
" Mites f,r the celebration of Divine Service"—" In co.:se-
crating the elements, the priest should be careful to lift
them up, so that the people may see tetra." (Groans and
hisses.) flow tar was that removed, he aeked, from the
el, satins) of the Hest and the adoration of tne elements ?
(Hear, hear.) " When the priest says' Let us pray,' in the
' Litany,' it does not moan that the congregation shall
jfin it is to collect the mileages which have been offered
and present Inmate God." (Hoses and poet, .) How far
was that removed from the; Roman catholic doctrine or the
inediatorial dike of the priest? (Hear, hear.) These in-
structions were given for the decoration of the altar:—" On
the evening of Christmas Day to the octave of Epiphany,
the altar is to be covered with white; from the vigil of
Pentecost to the next Saturday i: is to be covered with red;
on Ash Wednesday and Enter Eve with violet; on Good
Friday end funerals, with black; and on all other dam with
green." (Laughter and cheers. " Who is the publisher ?")
The publisher of thin species of instruction is Masters, Joseph
a•ters. (Groans and hisses.) Far about one•third of the
year there are fast days, which the people are to observe ;
but "if persona find difficulty in observing these rules,
they should apply to the parish priest, or other proper au-
thority, and, on just cause, they may obtain relaxation
(Groans and hoses.) How far was that sheet of the Roman
catholic doctrine of iedulgences ? (Hear, bear.) They
bad shown the Pope that he had totally mistaken what
were the feelings and convictions of the people of this
country, and they had shown him, in reply to that insulting
charge, that they were not ashamed of their re ligion, that
they wore firm in faith, that the cords which betted them
to proteitentisos were not worn or slackened by time, that
they were conscious of the great blessing which they enjoyed,
in the possessim of a pure and scriptural church, deriving
its doctrines and tenets from the Bible—( hare)—and its
principles from the Reformation, its authority from Gad,
and wealth and power from the law and constitution.
(Cheers.) Against such a church they might eatertein
the pious confidence that the powers of datums would
never preval. aid and continued cheering )
The Hon. G. W FORTESCUB emended the aidress..

J. K. LETHBRIDGE, Esq., declared that it was his
intention to have moved a rider if Traetarianism bad not
been plairly alluded to in the Address.
CARTERET J. W ELLIS, Esq.. said, th►n himself no
man could be more opp.xed to Romarosen, but at the same
time be could not consent to be a party in any way to inter-
fere with, or curtail the liberty of his R •man cathell!
fellow-
countrymen ; he approved of civil and religious libery, and
thought they could not faithfully carry out th. es principles
if they were not prepared to extend them to the Roman
catholic". (Great uproar.) Ile thought it better to employ
the arguments of common geese, than cannon halls lieu
swords, and this he was prepared to eld, if they would
listen. (C,enfuion, "we won't have you at any price.")
Atter 1132110 further remarks, made amidst much oppo-
sition, Mr. Ellis moved as an amendment :—" That
whilst we are at all times prepared to de fend the crown
against any foreign interference wita its prerogative',
'curdle tee late hierarchical appoin!ments by the
1110a,p of Rome in this kingdom, an purely and es.entially
sorituaL we conceive their legilstive suppression would
b, inconsistent with that wise tolerant spirit of religious
liberty, the sound policy of which ha• been long sanctioned
by the deliberate and continueus ruppert of our moat emi-
nent modern statesmen and enlightened patriots ; wherelme
we believe an address to her Mejesty in reference to the boll
in question to he bath inexpedient and uncalled fur."
EDWARD S TEPHENS, Beet , Treworhan, seconded the
ameudment, and after some speeches of einerd. fable
force from the Rev. Mr. Idolesworth, Mr. W. It. l'eter,
the It.v. E. J. Treffry, the Rev. J. Wallis, the IL v Canon
Rogers, the Rev J. Noy, and Captain Riley, was I.ut from
the chair, when only one hand being held up• it was lost.
Anothtr amendment, moved by Captain Thompeon. ex-
pressive of the disapprobation of the honours conierred on
lrist Roman catholic prelates, and of the grant tr May
nooth, was also lost, and the addreer carried by an over-
whelming majority.
J T. A. ROBARTES, Eq., M.P., having beck loudly
called for, came forward, and expressed his freed•rm from
any fear as to the consequences of the recent act of the Pope,
his belief that if any rights of the crown had been in-
vaded it would be properly resented and repelled, and his
determination
inter fore with thou rrinciples of civil and religion liberty
to white be had long been most devotedly tweeted. He
was desirous that, whits the church should be rendered as
tittle burdensome as posible to the people, that this should
be done with as little interference so possible with i•s pro sent
character and posi'ion. He regarded the pereebial system
of the greatest advantage as to the country ; by the resi-
dence in every population of • clergyman—a man of educa-
tion—to be the guide and the friend of all, the t' acher of
their duty to one another, and to Odd of all, the comforter
of thus en their dietre,aes and the sharer of them in their
•ye He was turfyl th►t on this menden, as on other
similar occasions, much had been said which charity could
not approve. This was to be repelled, and however muck
they might feel th►t this moven:ent on the part of the Pope
woe to he repelled, yet it it should induce some of the
clergy who had gone toe far to retries their steps and
adhere to the eimplieity of the ritual of their church it would
be productive of good ; like a storm in the natural world,
they might hope that this storm and commotion would have
the edict of clearing off tome of the mute which had burg
over tie mor►l and religious world. It it should have 'he
effect of inducing the clergy to believe that the Bible, and
the Biole alone, is the foundation of the protestant
it would be blessed in its results. (Great applause. )
Three cheers were given for Lord John Russell; turee for
Sir Charles Lemon ; and three for Mr. It dine!, wee which
the audience joined in singing "God rave the Gum," and
the meeting separated.

LONDON LIFE ASSOCIATION.—Yesterday a special
general court of proprietors in the above mutual assurance
company was held, at the offices, King William-street, Mr.
Franks presiding. A report was read from the directors,
from which it appeared that, under the deed of settlement,*
certain day (lit July) is fixed for commencing policies and
dividing profits, and that seven such anniversaries most have
passed before the manned becomes entitled to any share of
the profits in the shape of reduction of annual premium.
The effect of this is that, while some become entitled to
'bare after "even annual pumas', tight mounts become
necessary in the cue of others. To obviate this irjustice the
directors propose to reckon from the actual day of entry,
without say reference to the let of July, and to allow the
enured to enter into share of profits after seven annual
payments. To carry out these objects certain resolutions
were submitted br the court, which, after Nome short discus-
sion on minor points, wire unanimously agreed to; and,
thanks being voted to the chair, the proceedings terminated.
DISFIGUREMENT BY a SURGEON.—Within the lee
few days considerable excitement has prevaikd in Black-
burn, ups the Manche ter Guardian, in consequence of its
having become generally known that Mr. Rogerion, sur-
geon„had branded a boy's forehead, by nuke's' tker,on,
with caustic, a hags B. It appears that for some time part
Mr. Rogerson has been greatly annoyed by " nuntway rings"
at his bottle ; and on Bunday week, hearing a fcroible pull
at the bell, be immediately ran out, caught a lad, named
William Woods, and locked him up in his surgery from a
quarter to half an hour. Then he got some caustic, and
held the boy whilst be rubbed on his forehead the letter
B. The lad stated that previous to that act Lein,
committed, Mr. Ryerson asked him what echoed he had
beta at, and that, on being told " to the indepeudenta," Mr.
Rogerson said, " Oh, you are one of that sort, are yon ?
then I'll make an example of you." On Monday, at the
police court, Mr. Roaerion was charged, under the let Viet.
c. 68, wherein it is enacted that whosoever " rhall cut, or
throw upon, or otherwise apply to any person any corrosive
Bahl, or other destructive matter, with intent to burn, maim,
disfigure, or disable any person, or to do some grievous br
dily harm, shall be guilty of a felony," the pusishment of
which is transportation for life, and not less than fifteen
years ; or imprisonment with or without hard labour for
not more than three years. Mr. Clough stated that the
mark would never be erased during the life of
the led, such being the opinions, he understood,
of Messrs. Shafts and Irving, surgeons. Mr. Ro-
gerson, however, contradicted this assertion, and called
Dr. Martian& who deposed that all appearances of the B
would probably disappear fn twelve months. The defendant
Moo denied the boy's story respecting the questions asked
him as to what school he had been at, &e.—Mr. W. Eccles,
the magistrate on the bench, said the permanency or son-
permanency of the mark did not legally affect the guilt of
Mr. R .gereon, and therefore he had no alternative but to
order him to enter it to recognisance' to answer the charge
at the next Leneaurr names. Mr. Ryerson then To-
quested an adjournment of the case till Wednesday (this
day) in order that in the meantime he might hue the benefit
of Mr. Balsholue's professional assistance. With this
application Mr. EMU" complied, observing that he had no
desire whatever to hurry the ease—the determination of
which was of so much importance to Kr. Rogerson, the boy,
sad the public.
