CONDITION OF THE LABOURING POPULATION OF
PAnIS.—We are informed that the Municipal Council of
Paris has recently directed the taking a allydeed account of
the labouring pop!llation of that city, with iew to ascer-
tain precisely their number, various occupations, condition
(as to daily earnings, locality of residence, and of labour,
house room, &c.), and whether migratory, or constantly re-
sident in the city. A great part of the materials have
already been collected, and are found to be so far complete
as to warrant the expectation that the final result will be a
closely detailed and tolerably accurate view of the indus-
trial operations—as well as much of the revolutionary mate-
rial of the French capital. The inquiry has been conducted,

THE ANdLO-CALIFQRNIN GOLD

tA MN G CO Vi PA '.. Y.
TO THE EDITOR OF THE SUS.

Sire—Allow me as one of the directors of the
Ana'lo-Californian Company, to say one word with
refeaance to the attack on the company by the writer
of the City article of to-day's Times. Not to dwell
on the obvious unfairness of its commentary on a reply
to his charges which he refuses to insert, I proceed at
once to the pith of his remarks. HH says—" To pre-
vent the possibility of the company feeling injured by
the suppression of their chairman's letter, it may be,
well to remind the public in a few words of the pre-
cise statements made by the Times, and to add that
he has omitted to contradict any one of them." He
then enumerates the statements to which (as he
says) no allusion was made in the suppressed docu-
ment. Charge the first i, that letters addressed to
the directors have been returned by the Post-office.
This chArge, if it have any foundation in fact, mint
have arisen from a misdirection on the part of the
writers of the letters in question. To insinuate that the
directors of a company would give to the public a
wrong address, an address where communications
would never reach theta, carries with it its own re-
faattian. Charge the second is, that the company's
bathers, ~I.essra. Spooner, Att,vood, and Co., diia-
vowed their countxion with the company. Here,
again, the inference sought to be drawn would argue
en approach to insanity on the part of the managers.
The simple explanation is, that the money of the
company was entered not in the name of the com-
pany, but in that of Messrs. Chevin and Williams,
and I suppose the Messrs. Spooner and Attwood
would nut decline to vouch for this fact. It is untrue
that the Times has received no explanation on this
head. The explanation now given was given at the
time the charge was first made, but then, as now,
they refuse to convict themselves in their own co-
lumns. Charge the third is, that Mr. Palmer, the
accredited agent of the company, was found on Sir
Henry Huntley's arrival to be an ideal personage,
" neither the eminent engineer nor the mines had
ever been heard of." But, as the suppressed reply
stated, the letters of Mr. Palmer and the original
agreement he drew up, both of which are in exis-
tence, demonstrate the absurdity of the imputation.
Sir Henry Huntley is known to many, as an Eng-
lish officer and a gentleman. He will soon. be in
England, and then the world may judge between the
company and its interested assailants. It is not very
surprising that the Times should decline to insert so
decisive a refutation of its " statements" as that now
given ; but it might appear strange that it should
gratuitously repeat those absurd yet injurious attacks
did we not know the slightest flaw, the faintest error,
is fatal to the pretensions of men ambitious of the
prestige of infallibility, and it is to the consciousness
of this that I can alone attribute this desperate tenacity
of falsehood.
Trusting that in courtesy you will insert these
brief observations for which you are in no way re-
sponsible, and which are simply to warn the public of
the real acts of the case,
I remain, Sir, your obedient servant,
CAVENDISH STUART RUMBOLD, Bart.,
Chairman. _

P.S.--1 moreover entrust to you a copy of the
letter which the Times would not insert, notwith-
standing that the editor sent word by one of his
officials on the evening of the 25th that orders had
been o.yen,for it to be printed, and,,if, you can find
room in your columns for'it;:t4i,o ai)in4will Much
enhance the gratitude-of myself' COlleigileg
for so handsome a vindication of truth and justice.

TO THE EDITOR ;OF, .THE TIMES.
Sir,—The directors of this company claim, as a
matter of justice to: the, shareholders and to, them-
selves, the insertion of this letter, correcting certain
mis-statements (avowed and implied) in the article
upon this company which appeared in your columns
of the 23d inst.
The account (22d inst.) of this company, written by
your correspondent at San Francisco, seemed to the
directors written (apart from a few inaccuracies) in a
truthful and impartial spirit—and the few observations
made by him, tending to throw a degree of suspicion
upon some matters, they believed to have been so
made with the legitimate object of calling the atten-
tion of the public to them. They have, therefore,
read with no inconsiderable surprise the attack made
on the company, in the article of the 23d instant,
asserting, or implying matters so materially at vari-
ance with the contents of your own correspondent's
letter, published the day before, and insinuating a
charge against Sir Henry Huntley, in the teeth of a
letter inserted in another column of the same paper,
written by the directors, and stating that the com-
munications between the directors of the company and
Mr. Palmer, were in the possession of Sir H. Huntley
for certain purposes there mentioned, and therefore
showing to any impartial person that Sir Henry had
at least satisfied himself before his departure of the
bona fides of those with whom he was acting, as well
as of the authenticity of the published reports of
Mr. Palmer. After referring to the announce-
ment of the receipt of the reports from Mr.
Palmer (which reports, as before stated, are now
in the possession of Sir Henry Huntley),
and to the arrangement made with Sir Henry, you,
in your attack of the 23.1 inst., observe that " the
company have lately been advertising that they have
received most flattering dispatches from him (Sir H.
Huntley). It now appears, however, that no such
person as Air. Palmer or Captain Tremaine was
known, and that the locality of the mines, of which
the London directors had issued a lithographic draw-
ing, was equally undiseoverable." You, Sir, and the
public may judge from the following extract from a
dispatch written by Sir Henry Huntley, and received
by the provisional directors of this company on the
7th instant, whether the directors were or were not
justified in stating that they had received flattering
dispatches from Sir H. Huntley. After referring to the
Mariposa Company he writes as follows :—" An in-
terview between the directory and myself was for this
morning arranged. I read before them your letters
to me ; informed them fillly'of all that, had occurred,
and of your punctuality in fulfilling all engagements
with myself and those employed with me; the result
of which is, that you will receive with this an inti-
mation of readiness to amalgamate your company
with theirs upon terms to be decided upon hereafter ;
you will also receive a certificate, showing them to be
a legally formed company ; and a certificate of the
amount and quality of gold produced from a certain
weight of quartz rock. I should recommend your
serious consideration of the proposals of the company,
which are herewith sent; for of the ample remu-
neration to shareholders, there can be no question."
In corroboration of the above, your own corre-
spondent at San Francisco (after referring to the
terms of the proposed amalgamation), says ;
" Their undertaking is not .at all Quixotic, in my
opinion. If properly managed, and they can keep
their men together, they will undoubtedly make
money. They have overcome the greatest difficulty
which besets undertakings of this sort, namely, get-
ting their men to the mines I think the
company was not lucky to get the (Tremaine's) land."
Sir Henry Huntley has expressed an opinion in ac-
cordance with the last observation of your correspon-
dent. In your attack of yesterday (after referring to
the Palmer defalcation) you remark—" Under these
circumstances, Sir Henry hes permitted the miners
to hire themselves to another company, the Mariposa,
who coolly propose to amalgamate with his London
friends upon receiving the sum of one hundred thou -
sand pounds fur conceding them that privilege. As
the amount thus rrquired would merely purchase the
right for the nine Cornish miners to work in a parti-
cular spot, without furnishing the slightest guarantee
that the proceeds of their labour shall be handed over
by them to their employers, the nature of the offer
and the present condition of the shareholders may be
easily appreciated."
Why your writer should have made the above-
quoted gratuitous assertions, or why you should try
to lead persons to believe that Sir H. Huntley would
not take the necessary precautions for ensuring a fair
share of the pi ofits of the mines to the shareholders of
this company, in the event of an amalgamation with
the Mariposa Company, the directors are at a total loss
to conceive. Tbey must, however, leave the following
extract from Sir H. Huntley's dispatch before re-
ferred to, and from another received yesterday, to
prove the value and truthfulness of those assertions.
He says—"l have now to inform you that, with a
view to your amalgamating with this (the Mariposa)
company, I have engaged to carry the miners with me
to the Mariposa Mine belonging to them. The men
are wiling to go, and will receive each from this
(Mariposa) company 100 dollars per month, a sum
which you must have added to their wages had they
commenced upon the Calaveres ; this receipt does not
deprive them of the wages egreed to be paid by
your company. I thought it advantageous to retain
that tie upon them. . . Last week they proceeded
to the mine of the company upon the Mariposa. The
main provisions of the treaty (with the Mariposa
Company) are as follows :—" The mine is valued at
200,0001. The stock to he divided in 2,000 shares of
1001. each. London to have 1,000 shares upon pay-
ment of 100,0001. to the Mariposa Company, but may
a payldll maa
attend eecni:dnsvaunimctii,no,al.lensodtfmhteahen•eet
ian proportionately less
in-
terest in the mine. . . . I believe I have only to
amplete remuneration
Mariposa
Mine
(whichthe
lease of which, I may observe, is held under Colonel
I:t,nrte•timtailnitty, and ), and my certainty of the legality, sub-
ntegrity, of the Mariposa Mining
Company."
Your correspondent at San Francisco says •
" The Mariposa Company made a proposal to Sir.
Henry's Company that the two should amalgamate,
on condition, amongst other things, that the London
Company should put in 100,0001., and that then
they should start equal at.d share profits half to each."
Whence, then, your gratuitous insinuation on this
point ?
The directors may remark that, on the 14th inst.,

they issued a report to the shareholders of this com-
piny announcing the reporiei seet over by Mr. Pal-
mer to have been "gres3 exaggerations if nut fabri-
cations." As this appeared Lore the letter of your
correspondent at Sidi Francisco, it proves there was
no concealment of this fact on their part. The
lithographic drawing, which you state to have been
issued by the directors in this country, was made
from. a sketch by Mr. Palmer and sent over by him
with his report.
With respect to any proof which the directors have
the power of affording you that the company in this
country has been duped by Mr. Palmer, they can
only repeat what they have before stated, namely,
that the communications received from Mr. Palmer
are in Sir H. Huntley's possession, and cannot be
produced till his return, which is expected the middle
of November. Mr. Massy Dawson, however, who is
the bearer of this letter to you, and a provisional di-
rector of this company, takes with him an agreement
signed by Mr. Palmer previous to his departure, the
attesting witness to which shill, if required, wait
upon you to satisfy you of the execution of the do-
cument by Mr. Palms r, and an original letter from
Sir Henry, from Leamington, acknowledging the re-
ceipt of Mr. Palmer's first report. He will also show
you the original dispatches (in the first of which he
acknowledges the receipt of Mr. Palmer's second
letter) received from Sir 11. Huntley, and from
which the above quotations are made.
In addition to the miners who went out with Sir
Henry Huntley others were afterwards dispatched to
join him, carrying with them large quantities of min-
ing tools and implements. The total number thus
sent out amounts to nearly thirty. The provisional
directors desire to add that as this company is not yet
completely registered, every arrangement made since
the provisional registration of the company (including
the negotiation pending between Sir H. Huntley and
the Mariposa Company) is merely preliminary.
They do not base the success of this company upon
an amalgamation with the Mariposa Company. They
have no hesitation in asserting, that as soon as this
company is completely registered (and this will be as
soon as the legal formalities now/ in
progress will
allow) they will conclusively show that the prelimi-
nary arrangements made by them afford the elements
of a most successful enterprise.. The company has
neither debts nor liabilities, and has a balance in hand
more than sufficient to meet any immediate requisi-
tions.

The provisional directors are merely desirous at the
present moment of upholding the credit of this com-
pany, and (as connected with it) vindicating their own
honour. To this end they only require fair play; and
they submit it to the public, and to your sense of jus-
tice, Sir, whether the permitting
an unknown writer
to attack them in your columns with assertions con-
tradicted by your own correspondent at San Fran-
cisco, and with injuricus insinuations founded upon
those assertions, is giving them fair play.
Your own correspondent says, "I am bound in
justice to all parties to add, that from all I can see and
learn, the company (the Anglo-Californian) has per-
formed all its engagements to the Cornish miners with
fidelity. Money is placed here, and bills of lading
for a further supply have arrived, coming forward to
provide for their wants and pay for their passage into
the interior."

about facts, namely, that referred to by your corre-
spohdent in California, -and that iuthe absence•
debtf, or claims upon the cumpanYt lkystkadosuven;k:

rectors have acted bona fide--ivhy, we ask, should you
charge, or insinuate that they have acted mala fide in

-evidence than the .statement of a -writer imyour
journal ?—I am, Sir, your obedient servant,

SUGAR REFINING.
TO THE EDITOR OF THE SUN.
SlR,—The question of sager refining, which has
lately been discussed in your columns, is of so much
importance in every point of view to the public, that
I venture to hope you will insert the following re-
marks :—An assertion has been hazarded respecting
the effect of sulphate, or sulphite of lead, on the
human constitution, which I think is not borne out
by analogy ; viz., that because the sulphate of lead is
insoluble in ordinary circumstances, i. e. in water,
therefore it is so, andconsequently innocuous, whenin-
troduced into the stomach. It is, however, quite cer
tain that the power of the stomach in assimilating
substances are very unlimited, and to any physiologist
who knows the structure of the digestive organs and
their operation, specifically adapted to entangle and
appropriate matter subjected to their action, it would
appear a hazardous experiment to continue for a length
of time the daily use of a substance well known to
accumulate in the system, and to be slow, insidious,
and poisonous in its effects. These effects are well
known to plumbers to be incident to the manipula-
tion of metallic lead (insoluble under ordinary circum-
stances) to which their vocation subjects them. During
the alterations at WiLidsor Castle, one of the work-
men employed there assured me that not less than
five of his fellow-workmen, plumbers, (HO of the
effects of lead. It is also known that type-setters
have suffered severely from the effects of lead. The
argument of insolubility is not worth a straw. Calo-
mel, magnesia, chalk, sulphur, these are all insoluble,
yet no one doubts their effects. The remark by Mr.
Braude, in the report on the lead process, viz., "the
objects attained by the lead process are not equally
attainable by otherperfectly unobjectionable methods,"
is only to be accounted for by supposing that the
Messrs. Oxland's process for refining sugar by the
acetate of alumina has not come under Mr. Brande's
notice. It accomplishes everything, and more than
the lead process professes to do. It dispenses entirely
with blood and animal charcoal, both well known to
be great destroyers of sugar, as well as cumbrous
and uncertain in their action. The cost does not ex-
ceed 4s. per ton of sugar; and, entirely innocuous,
attains every object. It combines the proteine com-
pounds and
the colouring matter, and they are pre-
cipitated with it, and filtered off in combination. As
a consequence of the sugar being freed from these
chemically injurious compounds, the crystallizing
power of the sugar is greatly increased, and tram
seven to,ten per cent. more of crystallized sugar is ob-
tained. Fuel, time, labour, and space for machinery
are greatly economised, and the process is so simple
that it cannot be missed by any
ordinary workman.
I have seen sugar refined by this process, which is
first r
i ate i▪ n colour, crystal, and solidity, but, even if
inferior n colour, who would not prefer it ?
The pri▪
nciple has been acknowleged by chemists of
the greatest eminence. I have seen the practical
working of it, and believe it to be an absolutely per-
fect process, from its simplicity, its economy in every
respect, and its full attainment of every object desired
in this great national manufacture.
The subject deserves investigation, and invites it,
as being of the last importance to the public, the re-
finer, and to the West India proprietor.

year.
_The :weeting having been ,opened by prayer,
The, ev. CHAIB 4N Said,,o

It was qne, he confessed, which had occupied their
,
attention for some time. There were few who pulii
have.failed to perceive that, the,tendency Of the Court
,ef*ofneeof late years was.to"intriade ppon this courts
try,"upon whiCh the first open act of that tendenCy had
a most important bearing. It was, therefore, with
great satisfaction that he consented to call them to-
gether cu that occasion, feeling assured that they
would all unite in doing what in them lay to express
to those in authority the feelings of the clergy of the
city of London on a subject important to every one,
whether layman or clerk.—(Hear.) But how im-
portant to those who look forward to the results it
was calculated to produce--those to whom God had
been pleased to intrust the spiritual welfare of the in-
habitants of the metropolitan city of London.—
(Hear, hear.) He only trusted that there might be
no sign of division amongst them on that great
occasion. First, they should all remember that
this occasion was a purely religious one. It was
a religious feeling which had called them there.
He hoped they would abstain from all allusions cal-
culated to introduce political bias into their discus-
sion, and he trusted they might be enabled to agree
upon some such protest as would enable them to ex-
press their feelings upon the religious part of the
question without touching upon the other. If the
law, as it now stood, permitted this assumption of
power which had just been put forth by the Bishop
of Rome, that assumption was entirely contrary to
the spirit of the law ; and therefore, if it were true
that, according to the letter of the law, this invasion
were admissible, they should be firm themselves, and
strenuous in encouraging others, in joining in an
unanimous address to the fountain head of power,
imploring that the Legislature would put its absolute
unto upon this proceeding.—(flear, hear.)
The Rev. Mr. .Wrx, who was very imperfectly
heard, suggested that as they were all fellows of SiOtr
College de yore, they should act in their proper ca-
pacity only to carry out the purpose for which the
meeting was summoned; namely, to 'address their
diocesan only, following the good examples sot by the
clergy of Westminster, and the inhabitants of St.
George's, Hanover-square.
The Rev. Mr. MURRAY suggested that, as they
were assembled to address the Bishop, they could only
adopt that course at present. It would be competent
for them at a future Meeting to address the British
Crown or both Houses of Parliament.
The Rev. Dr. M'Cann said that the present was a
time of danger, and they were bound to do their best
to avert it. He did not mean that it was a time of
danger to Christ's truth, or to any of the Christian
truths separately ; for whatever any power on earth
might do, they knew that the true Church was
founded on a rock, and would come forth unharmed
from any attacks which might be made upon it. He
did conceive it a time of great danger both to the
Monarch of England and the liberties of our people.
—(Hear, hear.) He thought so because it was an
assumption of power on the part of the Bishop: of
Rome, and there has been for some years an appear-
ance in this country of favouring that assumption to
the detriment of the lawful Church of this realm.
Princes had been overturned from their thrones
when they had given support to the errors and
superstitions of the Bishop of Rome. They had
seen in France a family driven from the throne
soon after an attack on a defenceless Queen upon
whom they attempted to force the errors ot the Popish'
vstem. He believed that Popery was a false religion
—false because it opposed God's truths, and because

truth as they had received it from their forefathers—,
to maintain it inviolate, and hand it down to their
children, thus upholding the throne and bringing a
blessing upon the prosperity of the English Church
and nation.—(Cheers.) It was not his intention to
say more than this, and he only wished to see the
memorial (which had already been submitted to
Archdeacon Hale) carried unanimously by the as-
sembly. The address which he had to propose was as
follows :
"TO THE RIGHT HON. AND RIGHT REV. THE BISHOP
OF LONDON.
"My Lord,—We approach your Lordship with senti-
ments of sincere respect and affection.
"Having heard with indignation and concern of the
recent aggression of the Bishop of Rome in appointing,
by an assumed authority, a Cardinal Archbishop of
Westminster, and in assigning, under a Papal bull, cer-
tain districts of this country to the spiritual jurisdiction
cf clergy entitled ' Bishops of the Romish Church:. we
feel it our duty to declare our resolution, with God's
help and blessing, to co-operate, as far as we are able, in
guarding the rights and privileges of our native chuteh
from the assaults of foreign and usurped dominion.
"They call to mind the fact that the faith of Christ,
in its purity of doctrine and worship, bad been planted
and established in the realm of Britain some centuries
before the mission from the Roman See, in the time of
Pope Gregory, had set foot upon our shares. Wedknow,
vi hen the Church of Rome had, by its unscriptural
corrupted the primitive faith,
with what joy the call to the Reformationrel was received
in this land, and at how great price our igious free-
in and idolatrous practices,
dom was eindiceted and recovered by our Protestant
forefathers; and we believe and trust that there exists in
'tshisPro-
the laity as well as the clergy. of our communion such a
tented tthjeceQpiueeeont
in all its integrity and purity, as effectually to resist this
novel and presumptuous movement, which appears to us
hearty desire for the maintenance of the Christian truth
Majesty
taondbethneotl
testant kingdom, and a bold attempt to undermine and
eventually destroy, our Constitution in Church' and
State.
" That your Lordship will be pleased, under the
blessing and guidance of the head of the Church, to
offer your powerful aid and counsel in the present con-
juncture.
hawinlgullepasretlhaatensaenclaeffrgroyn,
We cannot conclude this memorial without request-
ing to offer to your Lordships our best and warmest
thanks for the dignified and uncompromising Christian
tone of your reply to our brethren at Westminster.
" And we ever pray, &c."
He would observe, in order to carry out his former
statements, that the Bishop of Rome-had usurped the
prerogative of our Sovereign in appointing spiritual
dignitaries in this land. It was equally is fact that
he had invaded the jurisdiction cf the Primate of All
England and other prelates. They had seen the pas-
toral letter of the Cardinal Archbishop of Westmin•
ster, and observed the expression " we govern:' as if
he had received his jurisdiction from the Primate 01
England. He thought that by that act the law of

England was invaded. By it had been done, in de-
fiance of the laws of England, that which no Popish
Sovereign in the world would submit to. Was there
any Popish country, Austria or any other, into which
they found that a Papal bull could come without
being first submitted to the Ministers of the Sovereign ?
In the same letter was nu attack upon the religion of
their country, which was spoken of as being in total
darkness for three centuries, while we had the
glorious light of the Reformation, and the country
had become greater and 'more glorious, and more
prosperous, than any empire that ever existed of
which they had read, in the whole history of the
world. It was an attack upon the clergy and free-
dom of the country, because, if the Papal dominion
succeeded, they had only to look forward to the same
bodily tyranny under which so many martyrs perished
in the flames,—(Cheers.)
The Rev. T. 11. HORNE seconded the motion.
The Rev. T. B. MURRAY sail that, as one of the
clergy, and as a fellow of Sion College, he had signed
the general requisition to Archdeacon Hale, and
therefore he might be justified in saying a few words
upon the motion then before them. They must all
regret the absence of the Venerable Archdeacon, and
the cause of his inability to take part in the proceed-
ings of the day. They had arrived at a crisis in the
Church ef England, which ought to mi.ve every one
who had an attachment to that Church to bestir him-
self in its defence.—(Cheers.) The circumstance
under which the recent appointment, or he should ra-
ther say attempted appointment, was made must ex-
cite them all as followers of the religion of this coun-
try, and as patriots, to defend the Church of England
as far as possible in this conjuncture.—(Hear.) What
was this measure but one which children might call
absurd ; but which, unless it was averted, they would
live to deplore ? It was an attempt to overturn the
principles of the Church of this country, as well as an
attack upon the Queen.—(Cheers) And those who
followed the tenets of that Church which had been
handed down to them from their forefathers would
certainly do their best to defend its precepts and the
principles acknowledged in this country. The clergy
of London, as well as the clergy throughout the
country, must now follow the agitation that had been
commenced for upholding the Christian truths in
their purity and integrity. The people, rich and
poor, old and young, had the Papal attempt placed
before them, and they would no longer be deceived
by the attempts of a church which sought to destroy
their best rights. • He should be glad to see all men
with the Bible open before them in a good, plain, and
honest version. The people were already aware of
the value of the Book of Common Prayer in its de-
vout and spiritual form of words, yet couched in
language which the, people could understand. They
were too well aware of the principles of their religion
to adhere to a church which, by its ceremonies, in-
duced its votaries to pay homage to the creature
which was due only to the Creator, and which, on
other points, was equally calculated to mislead them.
On these grounds, as well as OR those of patriotism,
and he might add humanity, it was their duty to be
up and stirring. They should remember the price at
which their religious freedom was vindicated and re-
covered at the time of the Reformation, and those who
knew that the Church of Engiand was, in its
heart and principles, opposed to Popery and Romanistn,
would never suffer that the country should be
burdened with that which had been once happily re-
moved from them--that which their forefathers were
not able and not willing to bear. And whatever
partiality might. in -the 4iresent day be evinced to tenets
difft4ing from theit:o*n AbOrios;quld not
tolerate this aggression. It was not, however, their
part to precipitate tho frightful struggle that must
ensue in the case of these two conflicting principles

-4L
being' brought into opposition.' Let them endeav-our
iii uphold the Churcirof•Eugland.its that purity which
had been handed to them, and not permit it to be over-
run by doctrines which were strange to this land.
He had not touched upon the insult which had been
put upon the Queen by this step of a misguided man
—(Loud cheers)—probablY taken in consequence of
certain insinuations respecting England which had
been breathed into his ear, but which had no founda-
tion in fact, for he (Mr. Murray) believed that Eng-
land was truly Protestant at its heart's core. They
must see that these measures were aimed at the throne,
which it was their duty, as loyal subjects as well as
clergymen, to endeavour by all means to keep secure
and safe, while its antagonists tottered to their fall.
On these grounds he heartily concurred in the subject
of the memorial, and he did most thoroughly believe
that England would still maintain her position, not as
the creature of a foreign dominion, but in that glo-
rious situation in which Providence bad placed her,
assigning to her the guardianship of Christianity
amongst the nations of the earth.—(Loud cheers.)
• The Rev. Dr. CROLT said that he should be very
unwilling to see anything like division or disunion in
a meeting of that description, where all were united
in one common feeling. He thought the present ad-
dress premature, as the Bishop of London was to hold
his visitation in two days, and to memorialise him
just now would look somewhat like dictation. The
Bishop would give them his advice unasked. They
knew what his opinions were already, and he (Dr.
Croly) felt some anxiety in thinking that the address
was not addressed to the proper quarter. As to the
-opinions and sentiments contained in that address,
there could be no difference of opinion ; but that ad-
dress ought to have been to the highest power in the,
realm. There had already been an address to the
Bishop, and that was quite sufficient in anticipation,
as his opinions were already declared. In reference to
the subject before them, he would read one or two do-
cuments bearing upon it—the one was the rough
draught of an address to her Majesty, which he had
that morning prepared ; the other referred to the oaths
taken by the Sovereign on coronation. The Rev. Gen-
tleman then read the form of address which he pro-
posed, and proceeded. The Pope had usurped the
supremacy of England, Scotland, and Ireland
in the middle of the sixteenth century. That
supremacy was abolished in. the seventeenth
century by the Ist of William and Mary. After
abjuring the doctrine that excommunicated princes
might be deposed and murdered, which doctrine he
justly pronounced damnable, that oath proceeded to
say, " I do declare that no foreign prince, power, or
potentate, bath or ought to have any jurisdiction,
power, pre-eminence, or authority, ecclesiastical, or
civil, within this realm. So help me God." By the
Act 31st of George 111., a Papist might hold office
by taking the al'uring oath with reference to the
civil and temporal office of the Pope. The supremacy
or head of the Church was given to the king in 1534,
and confirmed in 1538, by the 26th of Henry VIII.
The oath was as follows :—" I do swear that I will
defend to the utmost of my power the settlement of
property within this realm as established by law, and
I do hereby disclaim, disown, and solemnly abjure any
intention to subvert the present Church Establishment
as established by law within these realms, and I do
solemnly swear that I never will exercise any privilege
to which I am or may become entitled, to disturb or
weaken the Protestant religion or Protestant Govern-
ment in the United Kingdom." At the ceremony of
the coronation the monarch, after having the two pre-
vious questions of governing according to the law and
causing the law and j ustice in mercy to be executed inall
judgments, was asked by the Archbishop the following
question, which was of much greater length than any
of the former :—" Will you, to the utmost of your
power, maintain the laws of God, the true profession
of the Gospel of the Protestant reformed religion, as
established by law; and will you maintain and per-
form inviolably the settlement of the united churches
of England and Ireland, and the territories thereunto
belonging; and will you preserve unto the clergy and
bishops of England and Ireland, and to the united
church and all the territories under their charge, all
rights and privileges which, by law, do and shall ap-
pertain to them or any of them ?" The monarch an-
swers, "All this I promise to do ;" on which the mo-
narch proceeds to the altar, and there, receiving the
Bible, makes oath, holding his hand upon the book,
" The things which I have here promised I will per-
form ; so help
.me God." The book then was kissed
and the oath signed. After this he would mention a
fact showing the value of the oath administered to
Roman Catholics. Four years after the oath was
prescribed the Government of the country was
cast out by a combination of Roman Catholic
Members of Parliament on a question relating to
the confiscation of the whole of the property of
the church of Ireland, and afterwards upon ano-
ther measure (Lord Stanley's), by which ten
of the bishoprics were extinguished. One-fourth of
the whole episcopal body extinguished. As to the
act by which the present agitation was brought for-
ward in this country, he rejoiced at it. It had
brought matters to a head, and there could be no
possible disunion or discrepancy of opinion respecting
the recent partition of this realm. It showed that it
was impossible to rely upon the word of Rome—
(Loud cheers)—that they could make no compact
with Rome.— (Renewed cheers.) It showed that
while dealing with us as a nation they had regarded
us as in a state of heathen barbariasm, abandoned by
the Gospel. As far as they (the clergy present) were
personally concerned, their ordination letters would not
be worth a straw. Rome regarded them as out of the
pale of Christianity any further than claiming the
right to exercise its power over us. Englishmen were
regarded as rebellious subjects of Rome, andof course
as persons upon whom the whole power of Rome
should be exerted. But if the question were to be con-
sidered in any degree as serious he would indeed con-
fess that it must only be regarded as an act of divine
power for the purpose of awakening the
Protestant Church of England to its duties
interests, and necessities. Had this measure
not been adopted the Church of Roma
might have gone on seducing them, and for years en-
croaching upon the Church of England ; but now war
was declared, and that in a manner as ridiculous
hf
and
offensive offensive as possible. from the state of things w
it was declared. Was it by the Pope, the w
the world—a potentate distinguished by his ability
•

and energy, when kings held his stirrup and led his
horse, as it was formerly ? No, it was a feeble man
—a beggar upon the face of the earth—(Hear)—a
man living upon the alms of a degraded nation—the
lowest of all Sovereigree endeaveurieg to subjugate
the most powerful of all empires.—(Hear, hear.) It
would be quite enough for them to rise as one man in
indignation, which was the proper feeling, rather than
condescend to enter into argument with such a being.
It was a foul shame that the Pope—that worshipper
of idols—(Great applause)—that miserable dependent
upon the pawer and alms of a beggarly nation—that
the Pope, a man of nothing, should come and invade
these realms by his menials, for all men in the Popish
service were menials, and should say that England
had returned to its ecclesiastical order, from which it
had hitherto been wandering in darkness. This came
from a man who was himself dependent upon the
sound of the French drum, whose power was based
upon the presence of foreigners in Rome. Was it thus
that the great Church and people of England, ennobled
by so many illustrious recollections, powerful by its
hold upon the affections of the people, by its iminage-
ineut, conduct, and discipline, the geetleness of its
administration, and the dignity of his offices---(Hear,
hear)—was it this great Church which was to be
decked out as a victim for the altar of the Pope—a
sacrifice by its own want of caution ?—(Cheers.)
What they required was not to go to any inferior
quarter. He had much respect for the Bishop, but
he advised them to go straightforward to the queen
I as the body of the clergy of London, and at once
present their memorial to her Majesty. He would
take the liberty of suggesting that the memorial he
had read, although it might not be adopted at that
meeting, might be adopted at some future one, as it
was, in his opinion, the just course for them to adopt
under the present emergency.—(Cheers.)
The Rev. B. H. RUDDOCK said, that it was the
duty of the clergy of the city of London to be as
united in the defence of their privileges as their
brethren of Westminster. If the Roman Bishop had
been bold enough to parcel out Southwark and West-
minster, why should he not parcel out London and
Finsbury ? He did not agree with the Rev. Dr.
Croly upon one point, for he would express his wish
and desire to approach the Bishop ; although, what
his advice upon the matter would be it was not diffi-
cult to anticipate. The attack and insult which had
been offered to them seemed to him to be the result of
a perfect infatuation. The Bithop of London himself
observed in his address to the clergy of Westminster
that it was not merely a mistake hut absolutely a
false step. It seemed like an infatuation in a person
who bad been hurled from his throne by his own
subjects—(Hear)—and sought safety in flight, before
being reinstated on that throne, to turn round and
parcel out the dominions of a Protestant Sovereign—
the dominions of the greatest Protestant Power in
Europe. He believed that such steps were the signs
of desperation.—(Hear, hear.) In conclusion, he
would urge them to remain staunch supporters of" the
faith transmitted to them, and in which they bad been
reared.
The Rev. Dr. WORTHINGTON said the address
laid before them by Dr. Croly was worthy of future
consideration—it would be the basis of a subsequent
memorial ; but on the present occasion let them not
exhibit the faintest appearance of difference of send-
, ment, as as it would cause their enemies to believe
that the English Church was not capable of union or
co-Operation. Several gentlemen of higher powers
than his own had pointed out to them various facts
conhOtpci Nyity,--t4f:Cliulh of Rome, and he would
venture to mention a 'ew. the 'first was, illeit the
Protestant ' hiStoilaii 'Raiskih' had ISieneee 'that the
asserted early dominion of.the see of Rome over the
eastern and western Churches was a lie. As to the
right. of appointing bishops .in a foreign country,
Philip 11., even iu his most bigoted days, had al-
ways refused that right to the Pope, and neither in
France nor Germany had such a power been ad-
mitted. Even the remarks made by the Papal see
upon the conditions and conduct of James 1., showed a
tendency to require a degrading subjection to it. It
was requisite that it should be fully under-
stood that the power of Rome, as asserted, was illegal
and unconstitutional, and was based upon depravity
and falsehood. Could they prove the assertion that
the early British Church—British or Anglo-Saxon—
was ever under the dominion of the Romish see ?
Further, with respect to the penalty of pramunire,
which had been characterised by the Romish see as
an excrabile statutum, that statute enacting who should
obey any dictate from Rome or elsewhere, or do any
act affecting the, jurisdiction of the Crown, in this
realm, should be put out of the King's protection,
their lands and goods confiscated fur the King's use,
and themselves dealt with as the King, in his Council,
should advise. The Magna Charta provided, also,
distinctly for the liberty of the Church, and provided
against its undue infringement by any power what-
soever. If they agreed to this memorial, he hoped
that it would give warning to those formerly of the
English Church who had lapsed to Rome, and those
who A ere said to be in a state t f transition. It would
make them turn to one-thing or the other—either to
the Church of Rome or to the Church of England.
lie trusted that their proceedings of that day would
have a beneficial effect in inducing both clergy and
laity to join and resist this act of aggression.
The Rev. Mr. HARDING supported the proposition
for an address to the Bishop, as it stated the grounds
upon which the founded their objection to this inno-
vation from Rome. They were, however, privileged
to address the Throne subsequently, if they should so
determine.
The Rev. Mr. Hones then addressed the meeting
briefly, and after a few words from Dr. RUSSELL,
The CHAIRMAN put the question, when the address
was agreed to nem. con.
It was afterwards agreed that a future meeting
should take place to consider the propriety of pre-
senting an address to her Majesty.
The meeting then thanked the chairman, and se-
parated.

- THE LATE FIRE IN MARK-LANE.-RECOVERY OF
SOME THOUSAND POUNDS WORTH Or• PROPERTY. Six
weeks had yesterday elapsed from the time the great fire in
Mark-lane commenced, and during the whole of that period
between 30 and 40 men have been employed in cooling the
ruins and collecting together the salvage, but of such magni-
tude is the former, that it is expected another three weeks
will be required to get the articles still remaining out. The
amount of bristles already recovered is enormous; it is com-
puted that from 24 to 25 tons have been taken out and safely
housed in one of, Messrs. Gooch and Cousins' wool-ware-
houses. Some of thesa articles were worth from 12s. to 16s.
per lb. 'lt is expected that what have already been saved
will realize from 3,5001. to 4,0001. An iron press has been
extricated, of immense weight, and many parts were com-
pletely fused. Many of the trophies sent over to this country
for the friends of the officers who fell under Lord Gough,
have been totally destroyed. The amount of iron and steel
work got out of the ruins it is expected will weigh 45 tons.
Ten tons of horse hair have also been got out very little
damaged. and from two to three tons of bitter aloes, and 60
tons of jute. As much as 6901. has been realised up to the
present time by the sale of some of the most cumbersome
articles taken out. A vast quantity of goods of every
description, however, still remain beneath the surface of th•
ruins. . _ _

EXHIBITION or 1851.—The time having expired
roi receiving applications for space in the building from local
committees, no further applications can be received by the
I:xecutive'Committee. Yesterday the lists of intending ex-
hibitors were closed. There was a great rush of applicants
at the last moment, as we anticipated; and the amount of
• space demanded in some quarters has been nearly doubled
within this week ; but, inasmuch as the full and authentic
lists will be drawn up forthwith, we refrain from giving fur-
ther random and piece-meal accounts of the promised con-
tributions. It will be, however, absolutely necessary to re-
ceive applications from one or two' localities, the products of
which will not be found in the lists. Unless many applica-
tions for space have been made within the last fortnight,
under the section of raw materials, the Exhibition will, we
apprehend, be deficient in British minerals and vegetable
products. We hazard this opinion with the view of draw-
ing the attention of those whose industry has not yet found
adequate representation, to the necessity of bestirring them-
selves.

WINDSOR, THURSDAY.—.Her Majesty and his Royal
Highness Prince Albert and Royal Family will arrive here on
I riday (this day) to luncheon. The royal party and suite
will travel by the South-Western line of railway to Basing-
stoke, and thence by the Reading branch to Windsor, on the
Great Western line. Several of the royal vans, with lug-
gage, arrived here yesterday. Her Royal Highness the
Duchess of Kent, who came to Frogmore ou the 18th mat..
is enjoying excellent health, and takes her usual carriage
airings when the weather is favourable. The Royal Duchess
drove as far as Claremont last week. The Prince of Wales's
birthday will be celebrated at the Castle on the 9th proximo.
Her Majesty's private band, which has not played before
the Court since the death of Sir Robert Peel, has received
orders to meet for rehearsal at the Castle to-day. Mr. Mor-
ton, from the Opera House, has been appointed oboe player,
in the room of the late Mr. Florke. Between two and three
hundred workmen are engaged at the Castle, preparing for
her Majesty's reception.
ACCIDENT TO MR. CHARLES MATHEWS AT THE
LYCZUM TfinaTEE.—Last night an accident occurred to
Mr. Charles Mathews, the lessee of the Lyceum Theatre,
during the performance of the new comedy, My Heart's Idol,
which it is expectsd will prevent him from fulfilling his pro-
fessional duties for some time. In the first scene Mr.
Mathews fences with Mr. Vining, and during one of the
thrusts given by the latter gentleman, the point of his sword
unfortunately passed through the palm of Mr. Mathews' left
hand. That gentleman immediately left the stage, and the
audience were not aware that the accident had happened
until Mr. Roxby, the stage manager, approached the foot-
lights, and craved their indulgence for a few moments, as
Mr. Mathews had met with an accident. The curtain was
dropped, and the orchestra performed several pieces, bat the
audience becoming impatient, Mr. Roxby came forward and
announced that the comedy could not be performed, and that
he was then waiting for the arrival of the company for the
last piece. The performances were resumed after a delay of
about an hour. On making inquiries at the stage-door, it
was found that Mr. Mathews was suffering acutethe pain
wound,
and
that Dr. Jones, his medical adviser, had dressed
which was of a most serious character. It is announced that
the theatre will be closed this evening in consequence.
THE IMPROVEMENTS IN CHANCERY-LANE.--At a
local meeting held last evening it was stated, that after all
the exertions that had been made, and the highly liberal
concessions offered by Mr. Steel, matters still remained in
state quo, and that unless the benchers of Lincoln's Inn take
up the matter immediately this most dangerous thorough-
fare will be continued for many years to come, The dryads
and hamadryads of the woods and forests will not move in
the matter, nor will Lord Radnor ; hence the continuance
of a nuisance fraught with every raiscliiet and. paxger to this
_ most crowded highway,
