POPERY IN THE CHURCH.

Last evening a meetingof the members of the Church 1,
of England resident within the parish of tit. Luke, Chelsea,
was held at the Commercial Hall, King's-road East, to re-
ceive the replies of the Archbishop of Canterbury and the
Bishop of London to the addresses recently adopted by the
protestant laity of that parish against the popish doctrine-6
and practices inculcated and carried on in the Established
Church ; and to come to such resolutions relating thereto,
as might he deemed proper and expedient. About 130 or
200 persons were present.
Mr. Evora presided. The replies, it appeared, were
merely verbal, and were given to the deputations which
waited on the prelates. The chairman having opened the
business of the meeting, alluded to the statement which had
been published in the µepa•rs that the archbishop had used
the term "bishops." He hail received a communication
from his grace, who supposed that he (the chairman) hail
furnished the report to the papers, stating, "that his
memory must have failed him, for he had not said that he
regretted encouragement should have proceeded from the
bishops and clergy,' but from the ' clergy.' " Ile replied
that the archbishop did say that in effect. He had evidence
from a note taken at the time, and Mr. T. Yonge recollected
it, so that he was not in a position to contradict the report.
The address expressed strongly that the conduct of some of
his grace's suffragans was to the scandal of the church, but
the contradiction took out the whole pith of the thing. Ile
regretted to say that the manner in which they had been
received by the Bishop of London was an insult to the
parish. The bishop's reply to them was a subterfuge.
Mr. 'l'. A. Yonge had attended both interviews. He was
satisfied with that with the archbishop, but not with that of
the Bishop of London. His lordship quibbled—he could
give it no other term—and fenced with the question. Mr.
Yonge having spoken at some length, a resolution was put
and carried to the effect that the meeting was satisfied with
the answer given to the deputation by the archbishop, but
regretted that it could nut express its entire satisfaction
with the answer given by the Bishop of London. Mr.
Emerson then moved, and Mr. T. Palmer seconded, a re-
solution fur an address to her Majesty, praying that she
would command her ministers to introduce a bill to enable
the bishops to remove all Puseyite clergymen out of their
dioceses, and all other officials professing the same princi-
ples. This was carried, and the meeting broke up.

THE CHICORY FRAVD. A correspondent ears
The non-enforcement of the existing law against the adul-
teration of all commodities, in the case of coffee, is produc-
tive of the following results :-Ist. The honest dealer must
become a rogue in self-defence or lose his connexion, as he
cannot compete with his unscrupulous neighbour, whom
afford of course to sell the spurious article much below the
price of the genuine. 2nd. The community is demoralised,
for the young men employed by the grocers are instructed
in a delibtrete system of fraud from the moment they enter
their service. 3rd. The revenue is defrauded and English-
men are compelled to bear many odious tales to make good
the deficiency. 4th. The consumption of coffee in Gnat
Britain decreases annually to • very large extent, in con-
sequence of the adulteration, and a most serious injury is
thereby caused to the shipping interest, to the coffee pro-
ducer, and last not least, to the exporters of manor, tetured
goods ; above all by the non-prohibition of the adulteration
of coffee the hard-working labourer, and the public in
general, instead of a wholesome and nutritious beverage is
compelled to consume a noxious and abominable compound
of chicory, peas, sand, sawdust, acorns, wine-finings, and
even excrement.

At the spring commencements, which took plate
yesterday (Shrove Tuesday) in the Univers:ty of
Dublin, the honorary degree of LL.I►. was presented
to Lord Gough. The gallant veteran appeared in
the examination hull in the full uniform of general
officer, and was loudly and most cordially cheered by
the crowds who were assembled on the occasion in
the court and hall. Amongst those who took Doc-
tors' degrees were the hon. members for the Univer-
sity, J. Napier, M.l'., and G. A. Hamilton, M.P.
There is a total dearth of political news in Roblin,
unless it be called news that Mr. John O'Connell has
adjourned the weekly meetings of his association
"until further notice,' and that the substitution of
some other furor of a national political body, with the
organisation of which he will have nothing to do, is
very generally talked of.
There was a meeting of the Boman catholic inha-
bitants of Belfast on Monday, to petition against the
Ecclesiastical Titles Bill. It was held in the theatre,
andwas numerouslyattended,but there was nothing is
the proceedings to distinguishit from the other meet-
ings of a similar kind. One of the resolutioas was
as follows :
Resolved,—That we are now ten millions, more theft :s
third of the population of the L'aited Kingdom, and th..t
we are too strong tamely to submit to any enactment whim
will exclude us from the privileges of the constitution :
and, if the miniger should withdraw the application of
his bill from Ireland, we pledge ourselves, in vonjunetion
with the members of our faith in England, to use every
exertion to prevent its being passed, or any penal law
enacted that would interfere with the progn7s, or restriit

the free and perfect enjoyment, of the catholic religion &a
that country.

There was a meeting of the Roman catholic

The following is the reply of the Lord Bishop of

My Reverend and dear brethrms,—l have your adds ss
on the subject of the late aggressive attempt ot tile Polo. in
England, and I cordially join in the prayer which you hum
expressed, that LI MIT several stations we may be euabled,
by the blessing of Almighty Gad, " to maintain such sin-
, gleawei of heart, such purity of faith, such soundness of
doctrine, such unity of spirit, and such holiness of life, as
are the best tokens of u true church, and the most eller.-
tual means of resiating the advances of superst it i, in stud error."
But at the same time we must remember that " the fruits
of the spirit. love, joy, peace, longomtfering, gentleness,
waxiness, !lath, meekness, and tennwrame," are the
surest characteristics of a Christian minister; for " where
envy and strife are,.there are confusion andevcry evil wort.."
Let us, therefore, as ministers and stewards of God's mys-
lyrics, not only "speak the things which become. sound
doctrine," hut evidence in our lives the sincerity of our
faith. Should it be found, as you allege, that the Sows of
the land, the prerogatives of our sovereign, and the rights
and privileges of our national church, have been ',Mooted by
intruding uron England a Roman catholic hierarchy. I feel
that the legislature will vindicate those laws, and maintain
the honour of the crown and the integrity of the u.,tionid
church with such firmness, wisdom, and moderation, sass
shall secure to all her Majesty's subjects that mutual toilers-
tUin, liberty of conseienre, and right of private judgment
whirls add to th- glory and strength of the British con-
stitution. And while I hold that all aggression shiellol
be checked, and spiritual arrogance intros ed, from what-
ever sect ur parts they proceed, I also maintain Mat
nobody should be restricted iu the fair exercise of
their religion, according to the dictates of their con-
science, provided it he in strict accordance with the laws
of the realm, and the honour and safety of the crown. I
rejoice that the Irish branch of the united church of Eng-
lund and Ireland has had grace to continue iu bearing
faithful testimony to the " truth as it is in Jesus:" and
the measure which, above all others, I would earnestly
recommend you at the present crisis to adopt is, the faith-
ful preaching of " the gospel of Christ, for it is the power of
God unto salvation," beateching our Bement>. Father that
he would, for the sake of his Wined Son, our Lied and
Saviour, send duwu upon " bishops and curates, and all
congregations committed to their charge, the healthful
spirit of his grace, and that they may truly please him,
pour upon 111,111 the continual dew of his his song." And
now, my reverend brethren, " follow righteousness, faith,
charity, peace, with those that call on Lied out of
pure heart; be perflet, be of good comfort, be of inst. 13itaL
live in peace, aid the God of love and peace shall be N% itlr
you."-1 am, your faithful servant, and brother in Christ,
Romer flows AND CONNOIi.

Quintivan was found guilty of the murder of a poor
woman, who had been left the sum of two shillings

search of work. The prisoner, who was a neigh-

pears committed the crime for the sake of that
wretched amount.
