Dr. CROLY said, that though he had no wish to pr:disse
any division cc dissensioa in the meeting, he confessed that
he thought it pre ,as they were to have the biehup's
visitation in two days. He four that the munoralising of
the bishop at that menteat might lock like dictation. He
also thcught that the memorial was net designed for the
proper quarter. The Mohr had already been memorialised.
It was right to take that step before he had expressed his
opition, but now that his opinion had been delivered, he
thought they should resort to the erre of power—
he meet the Glees. With the permission of the
meeting he would read one or two of than royal

At the coronation, the monarch, after haver ;uiswered
the previous questioss of governing according to the lase,

laws of God, the rue profession of the gospel, and the pro
testant reformed rejgion established by law ? And will yeu
maintain end preserve ievielably the settlement of the
United Church of England and Ireland, and the territories
thereto belonging ? And will you preserve unto the biatiops
and clergy of England and Ireland, cad to the united church
sommitted to their charge, all such rights and privileges as

the mooarch proceeded to the altar, and there receiving the
Bible, as she knelt, made oath, laying het right band on the
book, is these words:—" Ti. thins watch I have here pro-
mised I will perform and kora, so help me (kid I"
The book wee then ki.eed, and the oetn we signed.
The Pope had usurped supremacy over England, Scotland,
and Ireland. lithe middle of *stelae century that supremacy
was abolished by the three legislatures. In the 17th the
oath of supremacy was *reed (1 Wm. and Mary). This
oath, after abjuring the doetree that excommanicated kings
might be deposed and murdered, which it roarer
" durable," proceeded to say, " I do declare that no
foreign prince, peer, prelate, state, or potentate bath, or
ought to have, any jurisdiction, power, pre-eminence, or
authority, eel:el oriel or spiritual, within this realm, so
help me Oud." By the act 31 George 111. papists might
hold office me taking an oath abjuring the cavil sod temporal
authority of the Pope. The enprenthey, as head of the
church, was given to the king in 1528, and con-
firmed by parliament in 1534. (26 Henry VIII.).
The oath framed in 1829 was as follows: I do swear
that 1 will defend, to the utmost of my power the settle.

laws; and I do hereby disclaim, disavow, and solemnly ab-

Such was the Roman catholic oath. Four years after it was
enacted, the government of the country was east out by a
combination of the Roman catholic members of parliament,
the consideration being the appropriates, that it, the con-
fisetion of the whole of the propsr:y of the church of Ire-
land. (Hear, hear.) As to the act which an Intruder—
(cheers)—lead now attempted, he confessed that he rejoiced
at it. He rejoiced breams It had brought matters to • head,

it was utterly impossible to nuke any compact with Rome;
it showed that, while dealing with this country is a certain
degree as a Christian country, it regarded it as heathen, and
al destitute of the gospel ; it showed that all the power
which Rome was usurpieg, or had ever usurped, in other
countriee, woald be brought upon their heads, and
that their titles, so far as their ordination letters were
concerned, would not be considered worth a straw. (Hear,
hear.) The Englishman, or, at least, the members of the
protestant church in etre country, was regarded as a Niel-
lious subject, and, of course, the whole power of Rome
might be exerted upon him. (Hear, hear.) It might
be the design of God, by what was posing, to awaken protes-
tant England to its rights, to its duties, to its interests, and
to its necessities. (Haar. hear.) They =Abe have gore

The Rev. Mr. RUDDOCK said that se the Pope's eels
wile had parcelled out Westeniorer and Southwark, it
might be retied that they would also have the effrontery
to take a ender coarse with respect to the city of Lcadon
and Plastery. He, fur one, desired that they should ap-
proach *air diocesan in order on the one hand, that he
might advise them as to their personal conduct in the pulpit,
load elsewhere, and, on the other, that he might recite from
them ea esearance that they were prepared to rally round
him. He had no doubt that the measure of approacohiagthe
throne would be adopted at some time or other.

Dr. WORTHINGTON, in reply, hoped that, notwith-
standing the remarks of Dr. Croly, there would be no disl-
ikes, lard It should be said that the church of England was
teat impalas of naiad action. The proteetent historian,

rest princes issuing from Rome, and It war perfectly clear
that if the great ovate of promanire wee to be interpreted
by the rules of eosins= sense, there had been an hafting.-
sent of it. (Hear, hear.) Purdue, he considered the mea-
sure= quesUon an isfriegemest of the great eharter granted
by King John. That charter coathined these words :
" Quint Anglicans Enloe= Übera sit et habeat jure sus

dins nutria in perpetuum bon& fide volume °banyan."
Thu, he conceived, did the words of the great charter con-
firm the absolute pow. re of the church of England, which
wen now landed. He might add, that it was a well-keo•n
fact that the tithope did homage to Henry the First. He
trotted that the memorial woulu be adopted, and that what
had jest maned would prove a warning to those clergy-
mos who were supposed to be relapsing to Rome—(hear,
hear)—so much so, that they were actually claw d
under the head of " tramline° clergymen." (Hear,
hear.) He hoped it would also bring cut true Pro.
tntant feeling in this country. He, for one, was not
seksand of the name of " protestant "—(clean) ; and
holding their protestant church to be a true church, he
hoped that prottematista would again shake Europe to its
confines, ae when it first appeared. (Cheers.) There
should no longer be any weak dealings with men who ought
to appear in their proper character—(eheen); and d such
=ea secant to go over to the church of Rome, he hoped they
would do ma at unee. (" Haar, hear," and loud cheers.) He
rejoiced at the calm sod dignified tone mound by their
prelate; he rejoiced that their diocesan sew that peace could
not be secured by Duckling to Rome, and he had no doubt
that his lordship would exercise his episcopal functions in
the manlier which betted the emergency. (Cheers.)
The Rev. J. HARDING, while he concurred in the pec-
tination of the memorial, felt that they would stop very for
short of the point at which they aimed, if they did sot pro-
ceed further. (Hem.) The Queen must be aduressed with-
cut delay. Many weeks probably would elapse before the
seethe of the legislature, and it would he far more difficult
to snail the new bishoprics when they were in operation
than before proceedings had ben commenced. He trusted
that the example of the metropolitan clergy would and
greatly to entourage the elergy of the country, and that it
would be seen that they at lout were not gr tog to submit
quietly and without resistance to the attempted usurpation
of the Bishop of Rome.
The Re,. HARTWELL HORNE observed that the
adoption of the ; rained memorial of sours' did not pre-
clude them from eso addressing the throne. He hoped that
that step would be taken, and with u much unanimity as
lied been exhibited en that occasion.

Dr. aIIiSSBLL thouf,ht it would be unwise on that occa-
sion to go bey..nd what had been proposed, for this reason,
amongst others, namely, that it the, fellows of that college
el/bed to address the crown, it was necessary, according to
the Bishop of London, that they should unite with the clergy
of Westminster, and that the two bodies should proceed
with the bishop and the canoes at their head. de hoped
every clergyman present would endeavour to set the laity to
work. (" Hear, bear," and cheep) Ho bad said to every
layman who had spoken to him on the subject, " It is as
much your business as mice." The Bishop of London had
expressed his opinion in a manner which he thnght no one
could fail to appreciate. lite letter was manly, straightfor-
ward, sad at the same time perfectly free from anything like
'verity.

iAlter
some conversation with reg►rd to matters of detail,
the memorial was adopted unauimontly, and the President
undertook to present it to the bishop on the following (this)
day.
The CHAIRMAN then stated that a requisite= had just
been addremed to him—[it was prepared and signed during
the progress of the mettine)—reguesting him to gall a meet-
ing, on an early day, to consider the propriety of addressing
the Throne; and la compliance with the wish of sevcral
gentlemen present, be land 12 o'clock on Thursday neat as
the time for convening it.
The meeting then broke up.
