THE EXPRESS, WEDNESDAY EVENING, NOVEMBER 13, 1850.

Mr. SCOVELL thought it improper in address the
bishop under present circumstances. Something more than
mare stigeette was neeimery in the present obis. The
Bebop of London was the father of those changes which
had entered into the church of England in many paces;
and now, when he found public opinion against him, he
entered • mild protest—a very gentle eavmt, against those
popish ceremonies which be had himself bean instrumental
in introducing. Even in his recent chug., the bishop still
declare t himself La favour of the teethed° prised*, of not
earned too far. Under all the decentness, be felt jus-
tified in moving an amendment, to the offset that, in tonal-
deration of the recent charge of the Bishop of London, the
mestieg neonatally disclaimed addressing the bishop in the
way proposed. (Herr, hear.)
Mr. KR ',OSTER emended the einendment.
Mr. SPACIER, M.D., suggested that they were met I.
take the necessary steps to oppose the present igoreesion of
popery, and for this purpose ft appeared to him they were
hound to avail themselves of all the modes open to them ;
and in addreuing the bishop, which woe one of theme be taw
noting that could composing them La any way. (Hear,
hear.)
Mr. J. PRESTON coceidered that the emotion had been
placed on too narrow a basis. They were met today, as he
understood, on the broad ground of prota nudism, and not
as the repreeentaiives of diff,rent smirches, or as different
section of the same church, but a. members of the one great
protestant church, to defend that church, mod to protest against
• grow, meet outrageous, and mod unjustifiable aggression on
the protestant principles of this land. (Hoar, hoar.) He
did not think the past exercise of the biskop's ialluence bad
been such as to justify them to look with any degree of con-
fidence to him to suppress those violations of the recognised
forms of protestant worship which had of late prevailed in
too many of the churches in his dioosse, and for that noon,
if for n, other, he should join in the amendment.
A PARISHIONER suggested that the Archbishop of
Canterbury, who had at all times proved himself the firm
:Head of the protestant chinch, wee the proper person to
address.

--Mr.BERKINS must persist in his reeolution, considering
that the blau,)p of the dimes was the party to address.
Mr. H. HAINES spoke strongly against the apathy of the
Bishop of London, woo had been sleeping at his post when
he, as a protestant bishop, ought to have been active is op-
posing tractarian influences, and putting a stop to the Inno-
vations I. the mode et celebrating public wonhip in the
churches under his control. The bishop seemed to think
that the income he drew from the chureh—an income lar
create/ than that possessed by many sovereigns—woe given
to him for his own personal benefit only, and not for the
benefit of the church, or he would have instituted proceed.
laps against the Rev. Mr. Bennett and other clergymen who
had been endeavouring to engraft upon the worship of the
protestant church ell those empty forms and ceremonies
which characterised the Romish worship. Condemning,
hoverer, the negligence, or worse than negligence,
which the bishop had so long evinced in the perform-
ance of his duties, he could not agree that it would be proper
to insult him by passing him over and addressing the arch
bishop. tie thought as the bishop had come forward at
ength to defend the protestant religion against thei Dreads
of popery, they should do all they could to encutrage him in
his present course. Meat) There were many puts of the
ate charge in which all proteetanta must agree, but the
amendment condemned the whole. (Cries of "No.".
Mr. BCOVELL inriustieed tact that was not his intention.
Mr. RAISES—But that would be the effect it it were
passed in its praint tons. (Rear:: He wu quite ot opinion
that had there been nothing more than a cry ot " No p-
pm," the bishop would have slumbered on but the entrance
of soother bishop into his diocese had aroused him to action.
(Rear.) But whetter' the caste let him not want

couragement to his endeavours to c srry out that which was
the common object, via ,'firm and determined resistance to
papal aggression. and the denunciation of the semi-popery of
tractarianism. (Hear, hear.)
Mr. SCOVELL would prefer to withdraw his amendment
and meet the original resolution with a direct negative.
The amendment having been withdrawn the original
mot.on, adopting the 'Press, was corded by 23 against 9.
Toe R v. Dr. FtErcHea (preshyterian), who took
occaeion to enprees his grit flesseion at the union of all !ac-
tions of the protestant church in defence of the crest princi•
pies of christianity, moved a resolution of thanks to Lord .1.
Russ.ll for his letter to the Bishop of Durham, and for the
firm determination therein expres,td to vindicate and uphold
the peer wive of the crown and the right, of the Protestant
Church, and of the nation against the unprecedented arro-
gance of the Bishop of Rome. (Hear, hear.) He thought
there was a charm in the name of Austell. He could not
forget that in the reign of a popish kingeweating a protestant
mask, Charles 11., a Militia had shed his blood in defence of
our proteseant institutions, and he rejoiced to find that, not-
withstanding the innervating influences of atistocracy, the
family had not degenerated. (Hear, bear.)
Mr. Braciii, M.D., seconded the motion—Agreed to.

MEETING OF THE CLERGY IN STAF-

FOUDSLIIILE.

LICHtIILD, Nov. 12.
A meeting of the clergy of the archdeaconry of
Stafford, convened by Dr. Hodson, the archdeacon, was
held in the Guildhall of this city this afternoon, the object
being to consider the recent introduction of a h' by of
the Roman catholic church into this country. Dr. HODSON
presided, and thus were present between four and five
hundred of the clergy, including the dean sad other digni.
varies of the cathedral. _ .

The lii;;:alailtilAN said that the reheat bull of the
Bishop of Rome was of so extraordinary a character that
protestant clergymen could no longer remain silent; they
must, on the other hand, show that they were determined
not to succumb, but to units determinedly, manfully, and
perseveriagly in resisting this daring act of papal aggression,
at the same time showing that, whilst they were resolved to
be true to themselves, they possessed a proper spirit of for-
bearance, and could afford to love their bitterest enemies
And whilst they pitied the delusions of the priests of the Roman
catholso church let them take all proper steps to counteract
their measures, at thews. time besisubieg God to pour down
a spirit of repentance and enlightenment upon the Pope and
his cardinals. (Applause.) He deplored the fact that
too many of their own brethren in the apostolic church
had shown themselves to fall into the lap of
Rome; he hoped, however, that now the desiess of the
Ronsish church had been brought to light, and the muk
thrown aside, many who had lingered oa the threshold of
H marline would return to the bosom of the tens shack. The
rev. gentleman ooaladed an eloquent address by exhorting
the clergy to be 'Medial in the present crisis of those man-
tis] prineplos—union and ((Rhea/sae.
The Venerable ARCHDEACON nut toad • copy of the

The Hon. and Rev. ARTHUR TALBOT mind the
adoption of the address to the crown. He meld that
judging by the Papal reseript the Bishop of lefts had
looked upon the English people not as hatellas, bat had
regarded the island as tee land of infidelity. (Bear.) The
Ceara of Rome bad cur been I. direct to the
Church of Ragland; a direct hostile step W now been
takes, and it was for them, es ministers of the Holy Apo..
tolls Church, to meet that aggremion by a movement
equally hostile in its diameter. He was of opinion that
the Church of Rome was warranted in what she
had done—(cries of " No," sod Ruh sensation),
but they were also equally warranted la reiatiag. I have
