THE CARDINAL ARCHBISHOP OF
WESTMINSTER.

ADDRESS OF THE WESTMINSTER CLERGY
TO THE BISHOP OF LONDON.
The following address was presented yesterday, at
London House, to the Lord Bishop of London, who
expressed his entire concurrence in the sentiments and
language of the memorial. His Lordship's reply will
shortly be published :
TO THE RIGHT REVEREND FATHER IN GOD, CHARLES
JAMES, LORD BISHOP OF LONDON.
May it please your Lordship,—We, the undersigned
clergy of the City and Liberties of Westminster, ap-
proach your Lordship with deep feelings of affectionate
veneration for your Lordship's person and office.
We feel ourselves constrained to resort to your Lord-
ship for counsel, under circumstances of au unprecedented
character.
For the first time since the Reformation a Romish ec-
clesiastic, nominated by the Bishop of Rome, has as-
sumed the title of archbishop of an English city; and.the
English city whose name he has usurped is that in
which the S•ivereigns of England are crowned, the Par-
liaments of England sit, and the laws of England are ad-
ministered—the city cf Westminster.
We have reason to believe dug this step is only a pre-
liminary one, and that, unless it be now checked, it will
soon be followed by others of the same tendency; that
names of other English cities or towns will be assumed as
titles of episcopal sees by other Romish ecclesiastics;
and that a general effort will be made by the Papacy to
give a complete provincial and diocesan organization to
its own hierarchy in England and Wales.
Being persuaded that, according to the fundamental
principles of the universal Church, there can be but one
metropolitan in a province, and one bishop in a diocese,
in a country like England where one language is spoken,
we deeply deplore, and solemnly protest against, this
unwarrantable act of religious division, by which the
Church of Rome has now given fresh evidence to the
world, that, intead of being, as she professes to be, a
centre of spiritual unity, she is a main cause of the un-
happy schism that rends Christendom asunder.
W e lament also the fact that, among British subjects
and especially among Christian ecclesiastics, any should
be found to assume a title taken from a metropolitan
city in the realm of England, and thus be guilty of in-
vading her Majesty's constitutional prerogative, which
is to be the sole fountain of honour and dispenser of
titles in that realm, and so be justly chargeable with an
outrage against the British Constitution, and with indig-
nity to the British Crown.
We, therefore, the undersigned, having been duly
called according to the laws of this Church and realm to
discharge spiritual functions in that city in which the
Bishop of Rome now assumes to himself
pre-eminence, and over which he has set up
a claim to exercise authority by nominating an arch-
bishop thereof; and being bound by our ordination
vows to maintain peace and quietness in Church and
State, and to " banish and drive away all erroneous and
strange doctrines, contrary to God's word:" and having
solemnly declared our assent to the principle embodied
in the Ordinal Articks and Canons of our Church, that
" the Queen's Majesty under God is the only supreme
governor of this realm, as well in all spiritual or eccle-
siastical causes as in temporal," and that " no foreign
prince or prelate bath, or ought to have, here any power,
superiority, pre-eminence, or authority, ecclesiastical or
spiritual," and that " the Bishop of Rome hath no juris-
diction in this realm of England," feel it our bounden
duty, in the present emergency, to crave directions from
your Lordship's wisdom and authority, holt e may best
vindicate the rights of our Church and co try, which
are now assailed, and may, with the Divine blessing,
avert the dangers with ,A hich we are menaced, and
maintain the peace of society, and the cause of unity
and truth.
That Almighty God may long vouchsare to continue
the blessing of your Lordship's life and health, to the
benefit of this diocese and of the Church and country at
large, is, and will be, our most hearty prayer at the
throne of grace.

REPRESENTATION OF SOUTHAMPTON.
SOUTHAMPTON, OcT. 25.—A general meeting of
Liberal electors was held this afternoon, in reference to
a communication received by the Reform Association as
to a probable vacancy i❑ the representition of the
borough. Sir Alexander Cockburn's friends have un-
derstood that inconst queues of Mr. Baron Rolfe'i eleva-
tion to the office of the Vice-Chancellor of England,
the Solicitor-General, the present Member for this
borough, will be appointed to the resigned puisno judg-
ship in her Majesty's Court of Exchequer—an appoint-
ment, indeed, which the Learned Gentleman is under-
stood to have accepted. The meeting this afternoon
was convened for the purpose of considering what step
should be taken in the event of the anticipated vacancy,
and what gentleman should be solicited to offer himself
to the electors. Although the meeting was of a some-
what private character, we are enabled to state that an
arrangement has been come to for inviting a very dis-
tinguished member of the western circuit to present him-
self—and there seems to be very little doubt that the
Learned Gentleman will readily acqniesce.

Snow or CATTLE IN SKTE.—A. competition o
cattle for premiums afered by the Highland Society and by
thehu r
sSdas,
Skye Ftook place
was admitted to have
been atSligaclianon
Thursday,
thea Fanning
iinug Society,
s t rlnt. The show
been the best ever held in Skye. 'The entries were more nu-
merous than on any former occasion ; and there was a de-
cided improvement noticed in all kinds of stock shown. The
show of cattle and young horses was very fine. The sheep
exhibited by Mr. Macleod, Kingsburgb, were splendid.
After the business of the day was over a large party sat
down to an excellent dinner, prepared by Mr. Maclennan of
the Sllgachan Inn ; Dr. Martin, of Glendale, in the chair,
and Kingeburgh croupier. After spending a happy evening
the party broke up about eight o'cluck.—lnverness Courier.
CARNAEVON RAILWAY.—We understand that there
is a prospect of this work of utility being prcceeded with at
no remote period. Mr. Munt, the engineer, is in the neigh-
bourhood, but the arrangements are still uncertain regard-
ing some portions of the land through which the line will
have to pass, and much is dependent upon them. The pro-
moters cannot determine what they will do until the owners
or occupiers of the property in question can be settled with ;
but they are few in number, and it is to be hoped will soon
be brought to terms.— North Wales Chronicle.

TuE MARQUIS OF HASTINGS.—An address nume-
rously signed by the clergy, gentry, and tradespeople of
Castle Doliington, has been forwarded to his Lordship, con.
