WORCESTER, Shetrache EVENING.
A County Meeting on the subject of the iwe papal
smart anon has bees held here today, in ecosequasee of a
requisition presented to the high sheriff, sighed by several
hundreds of the freeholders, beaded by Lord Lyttelton, the
lord lieateaant of the county.

witttnolding the Bible from the saes of the people would
again be witesseul la this country ; and he referred to
the tenon of the Duke of Norfolk sad Lord Beaumont in
proof that the novas papal rescript had rot found favour
with the Roman catholic laity of the country. He regarded
the promulgation of the Pope's bell as evidence of a vicious
dance ea his part to incite the people to deem& the sove-

very much to be deprecated, and it was therefore deeirabln
that it should be check, d.
The Hoe. Oes. LYUON, M.P., seenaded the address.
He said that he bad regarded the satire querion as con-
cerned the catholieo settled in 1829; he thought that the
parties who re-opened it had been guilty of great imprud•
gnu ; and • he purloin of their meeting was simply to exam's
their concurrence in the opinion expressed by the great body
of their fallow-coastrymen, that no tertian prises would he
allowed to interfere in the mourns of this country. (Cheers.)
Sir EDWARD BLOUNT, of Hawley Halt (Roman
sahebs), neat came leeward to more aa smenostant. He
moonlit be sorry (he said) to say anything that was ofiensive
to anybody, but be hoped that, as a gentleman, Englishmen
would &flow him to state facts ; and to tell them that, on the
stablest of the Roma catholic hierarchy, they had been
labouring under great miaappreheastoc. (No, so.) Is
the heti place, there was nothing illegal us the tip
pastment of • Ronan catholic hi:rarely Ia Rag-
land ; and, in the second, they had ben advised by many to
their protestant friends to adopt the course they had Mateo.
(•• Name.") It bad been said by many protestant' we die
approve of the principle of the Pope senator
_here his nears
apostolic, who are removieshle at pleasure. Why do you not
appoint your own bishops? And it was pertly in copse-
quince of this that the step now complained of had be.
teats, and tee fact was that the Pape, instead of assuming
power, had relit quished it, inasmuch se the vicar
apostate were removable, where's in fame the bishops
were permanently appointed, sad would hereafter be ap-
pointed by the people ; therefore did he think that there
bad been ao agonesion, but very much misrepresentation.
(Cheer" sad uproar.) Great street had been laid on the
Miss's( the Duke of Norfo.k and Lord Bea Anoint ; but per-
haps protestant" were not aware of the estimation in which
these two noblemen had been I .op held by th. Romeo catho-
lie pecsbnion of the country. This Duke of Norfolk was
thews ash who, not many years since, made hi emit the
lagging"- stale of Eaglaad by his proposal to feed the la-
bourers of Englaad ow Puny powder. Now, is his mind,
the opinion of the Duke or Norfolk on the subj. et of the
Dull, and the spiritual or temporal supremacy dale-
, gated to the bishop., was just as valuable as his opioit.n that
the labourers of England might be led en curry Waiter.
(Cheers and laughter.) The hon. baronet concluded by
moviott the following as a cotantereaddreas :
" the humble end dutilul address of the inhabitants of the
oust, of Worcester. May it pieta your Majesty : We, your

ROBERT BEItIiELEY, jun., Eq., of Spetculey, se-
Mended the amendment. He c..siplaiseu that the motives of
the catholic' had been misunderstood—..het their actions
bad been misrepresented, and their faith calumniated—
therefore, he fel: it to be his duty se an Englishman and •
eatholic to proclaim and to defied his faith which was jars
cow assailed by an outcry whisk was unparalleled. (Hear.)
The hierarchy which had been established wee simply for
the better regulation and government of the Romeo catholic
'Web; it was partly for the sake of iotroducing that canon
law whisk was emsattitl to the goveinanot et the church,
sad whit* could not be called into scion so long as they
had merely nuts spostolio. (User.) That which had as
dose by the Roman catholic' was Moil and constitutional, as
was not sow denied. (Cries of " Prove in.") It it was net
legal, why did they ask for • new law on the subject ?
(Hear.) The laws of the country recognised everything
that had been done; the Emancipation Act was not in the
Wight's% degree viol sal ; and the bishop; now appointed by
the P.pe had simply delegated to them *spiritual jurisdiction.
Much had been soul on the subject of the tontine's of one
bishop into the diocese of sato:tier, but a• a bishop of the
church establishment could not t &nate for It emu catholic'

that in fast it wes necessary. (Cries of "No ") And so far

p.ibeiples laid d-.cos in the letters of t:.• Duke of Norfolk
and Lord Beauwoat; for three hundred years the throne

(Lien.) The Roman catholic laity of th's coital held in

had been brought against their religion, but churchmen
might at least 'Menthor that there never was a mon blooly
code than the laws of E izebeth themselves, and which were

the take of the credit of the country that catholic bishops
would not be penult:al in England, sad at the same time
iota rated in Ireland. It would be a maastrous thiog if that
were attempted here which it was not dared to attempt in
another part of the United Kingdom. The Roman catho
is
hierarchy was established for the spiritual governeseet of
the church alone; and surely the people of England, in the
19th corer', would never tame their steps in the preens"
they had m .de in the glorious principles of civil and religious
liberty. (eh. ere.)
Mr. SPOONER. !I P., ettpr ogled the original address,
declaring, Ia the count of • tins speech, that he was opposed
to the enactment of anjahog hli.J penal laws 'gams% the
Roman esthetics.

Mr. Hisoford said that the sums only applied to prism., wao

third of the inhabitents of the rat Dated Kiogd im were

The HIGH SHERIFF then put the queetioo. Very few
hands were held up tor the awn adment, end the edits.. is to
the Queen, as moved by Mr. Taylor, was inland to b<

Lord LYTTELTON next tame forward and moved the
fullowiee address to the Lord B ettop of the diocese:
