Between three and four he sd of the clergy assembled ;
in fast, the large room at the Rkag's Head was completely
filled, and throughout the oak. prodiedings the excitement
evinced was of a moat rthrlineffinary taunter, having in
view the character of the mia In the absence, from
indisposition, of Arelidemem sr, the Rev. Mr. Um-
PORD, of Danchurch, thermal can, presided.
In his opening address, the Rev. CHAIRMAN said : The
object of this meeting is to seine to addresses to her Moot
Onclotis Majesty, end to the Bishop of the dimes, canny-
log the shun and unequivocal protest of the clergy against
the unladen knit offered to the country by the Bishop of
Rom, as conveyed in his recent Bull, which is a direct
attack on the royal prerogative, and upon the right. and
hinnies of the protestant chunk (Applause.) It is high
time for us to speak out, and to speak plainly: to &souses
hanoeforth and for ever, and to proclaim in the strongest
language the errors and the abominations of the Roman
catholic church. It must be &grand struggle between truth
sad error; and it is the duty nf all good men to be at their
posts. That same animosity which we now witness has
ever Masted the Roman catholic church towards our own,
ever since the period of the Reformation: have they not
witnessed gunpowder plots and massacres in, Ireland ; and
wen there not thundered forth every year the anathemas of
the Beulah church against the crown, the church, and the
government of this country f But it was reserved for the 19th
century the full-blown pretensions of papas;—and for Pins
the Ninth to seek to propagate on British sod the errors and
superstitions of his faith ; a prelate with all the audacity of •
Hildebrand and a Thomas A'Bukett, without either their
courage or their ability. (Applause.) The week but
daring head of the Rupiah north had thought lit to sand to
this country a cardieal-arelibishop and a complete hierarchy
of bishops, fall of puff and paraphernalia, ready to explode
at the shortest notice. (Buitement.) It was pretended by
ems of the apologists of this scandalous trannotion—dis
doles of the Roman ehutch—thu the motion of the,*
bishopriss was a am private matter—that it was an old
thing with a new name—ea old kind with • new fen; but
this sort of profession was ill in mordnee with the bull of the
Bishop of Rome hinge!. Therein it was set forth that
the cardinal and his suffrages bishops wen sent here
to eonvert as, the people of Itheland ; and he further told
se that he had ordered jubilant to be nag in all the
shun:het, in seknowthdgmens of the conversion of the

people of Ragland to th; true faith. In view of such facts
se these, was it lot time for them to deride these preten-
tious of the Pope (Hear.) It was mid by lOW that the
bean coarse to be parse= was to treat the whole thing with

abroad is the etiantry ? Some of their best friend,, after
'equaling with popery, and pandering to it, eam
ammenrod of the false dm:tries, and still remained in coat-
maim with the protestant establishment. It was now said
that England had long been years* to be received into the
lissom of the church of Rome ; that, M fact, she had nothing

lea) Now, then, was the tine for true protestant, to nail
their seism oe the mast. (Hear.) There must be no

the sap of her wieshaties sad her fornication ;but
