ADDRESS OF THE MAGISTRATES OF
MIDDLESEX TO THE QUEEN.
After the ordinary business bad been disposal of
at the meeting of the magistrates of Middles's yesterday, ea
Clerkenwell, there being about 60 magistrates present—
Mr. PO WNALL, the chairman, rose and raid, that La
cossequnce of his haying received • letter signed by • num-
ber of the members of the beech, requesting him to call the
attention of the Court to the recent aggressive proceedings
of the Pope with regard to this country, he had felt it to be
kis duty to place at the head of the paper of business for the
I day a notice that that request would be complied with.
Having read the letter and the names attached, the hon.
magistrate proceeded to my that he trusted the Court would
deem that letter, and the important subject upon which it
treated, a sufficient justification for the course he bad taken ;
and be, as an individual, was extremely obliged to those
magistrates who had forwarded him that letter, be.
owe if ever there was a time when the marie.
trues of the county of Middlesex wore called upon to
consider • most important, grave, and national question, that
time was the present. For a number of years this country
had goes on in comparative domestic happiness, peace, and
prosperity, and they might congratulate themselves and their
fellow aubjece, that they lived in • period of the worlds'
history when an individual could entertain his own opinions
with d to religion, and his civil rights, without the fear
with hie liberty of sonnies's would be infringed upon by any
class of his fellow subjects. (Cheers.) Forums time it had
than suspected that the Bishop of Rome, that foreign bishop
whose reeeat proceedings had raised so great an outcry
through the land, wan not so indifferent se to what was pose
ing in this country as had been anticipated, and it was not sup-
posed that se serious an egression upon the rights, cisil and re-
ligious, of the people of this nation, and upon the prerogative
of the British Crown as had recently been made by the
Pope, would take place, but he held in his hand • document
that emanated from the Vatican. in which the Pops created
a CarOlnel Archbishop of Westminster, divided the whole
country into dioceses, created bishops, and intimated that
the no:; See would, as occasion or circumstances might re-
quire, in future make additions to those dioceses. (Rear,
hear.) He had no wish by alluding to what had taken
place within the list few years to create any feeling of dis-
cord, but when they, as British subjects, a.w their rights and
privileges assailed, it would be worse than cowardice on'their
part to stand still and remain silent, for silence would 'sane
lion the aggression. It was said that the Roman catholic
church was not now what it had been; that it had lost that
spirit of intolerance and persecution for which history made
it famous; that it was new characterised by Christian
entity and love, but he could not forget that it bad been
boasted that the catholic church was now, as it had been far
a thousand years, and that it would ever continue as it bad
hitherto existed, aid that at the present time it emhedied all
those principles which called forth our groat and plosions
reformation. (Applause.) The Pope, in his Bull, men
dosed the appointment in the early part of the seventeeth
century by Popo Urban the VIII of one Richard Smith,
as a Iturnish bishop in England, the same individual who
became principal of a college at Douai, and was the author
of those horrible notes toes edition of the Bible still moo.
Mud by the Court of Rome, and he thought the introdue-
tion of such a name as that of Richard Smith into the Bull,
as • precedent and authority for what the Pope was now
attempting, was quite sufficient to take away from it that
calmness and lamb-like spirit, which was claimed for it by I
those who desired to see it carried into effect. (Rum)
As individuils they might entertain their own opinions upon
domestic matters, and toe affairs of the country, bat he did'
hope that the court would unanimously adopt the *dirges
that would be submitted to them, and by so doing declare
that the Pope of Rome neither has nor ought to have,
nor ever shad have, dominion or jurisdiction in this country.
(Applause.)
Mr. TURNER said he bad the honour to move that an
address be presented to her Majesty; and proceeded to corn-
meal upon the documents recently made public • and, in
alluding to the letters of Dr. Ullathorne, he said that the
language contained in them was beth hypocritical and pre-
posterous, inasmuch as he intimated that the resistance to
the papal aggression was a persecution of the catholic* by
the protestant,. The protestant' were not meditating a
second massacre of St. Bartholernew—(Great applause)—
thi were not contemplating to establish an loquisiti to
either at Lambeth or Fulham. (Rear, hear.) Where were
the symptoms of persecution? Cardinal Wiseman, in
alluding to the Irish in the north of England, spoke of them
as persons who had not forgotten the teaching of the caliolie
church; and it was to be presumed, therefore, that the
Birkenhead mob the other day were demonstratiog that
they had not foreotten the teachings of that church--
(applause)—and that those teachings were not of that placid
nature the cardinal asserted them to be. The cardinal, in
his manifesto, which was • complete failure is point of
areumeet, made his great point that there had been no
inlrtogement of the law; but there had been a great
sumo of it. The cardinal taunted protestante by ask-
ing why, if their church were based on truth,
they raised this great outcry. He had every ese.
Menu in the stability of the church; it was based
upon far higher authority than that of either Pope
or cardinal —(applause)—and when be saw churches
Ming erected, charitable institutious being extended in all
parts of the country, and the protestant ministers scattered
over the whole of our colonial empire, he had no fear that
the church had been abandoned by God, or that it was not
founded on the round principles of truth. (Cheers.)
Mr. RE NISHEAD seconded the adoption of the address.
Mr. NORTHALL LAURIE said he had listened !atten-
tively to the reading of the address, and to what had fallen
from his friend Mr. Tuner; sad though sued • subject at
such a moment, perhaps, ought not to be subjected to criti-
cism, yet he thought the address might with great judiciou-
s's* be compressed. At the same time, be thought they
should propose an addition to it. es Hsu," and laughter.)

press and a free bible. (Cheers.) Bat there was a canker
in oar own church, • weakness that had bees introduced into
that church, which was the cause of this aggression of the
papal court. He, as a protestant, feared not the aggression
of the Pope, of cardinals, or of bishops, but he feared
deeps from what was going on in his own church.
They asked the Q 116411 to do that which was their own
boldness to do. It was a declaration spinet the Pope
sad dangers far off. It was as valueless as would be the
throwing down of the gauntlet by the champion in the ban-
queting hall lathe eoronation,in the ease of • general war. (A
