THE EXHIBITION OF 1851.

The following document was issued on Saturday
to all the local committees of the United Kingdom by
the Executive Committee :

" Sir,—l am instructed by the Executive Committee
to lose no time in acquainting you, for the information
of those parties who may have applied for space in
the building of the Exhibition, that within the List
three days the fresh demands for space from com-
mittees which had not made returns until this late
period, and the demands fJr increased space from
committees which had already made large returns,
have been so numerous and incessant, that it will be
some days before the returns can possibly be digested,
and the total quantity of space demanded by the United
Kingdom ascertained. In the mean time the Executive
Committee are in the position to say that as the total
demands ot.the United Kingdom very greatly exceed the
amount Mt can possibly be provided in the building,
exhibitors must be prepared to submit to a strict exer-
cise of judgment on the part of the local committee, so
as to reduce the total demands of space to the amount
that the building will furnish.
"I am, Sir, your most obedient servant,
" M. DIOBY WYATT, Secretary.

THE PAPA I. ARCHBISHOP OF
WESTMINSTER.
The following address has been presented to the
Bishop of London, from the dignitaries of St. Paul's
Cathedral :
" TO THE RIGHT REV. CHARLES ZAKES, LORD BISHOP OF
• LONDON.
" May it please your Lordship,—We, the undersigned,
the dean, the canons, the prebendaries, and minor
canons of the Cathedral of St. Paul, desire to approach
your Lordship with feelings of the deepest anxiety.':..,.
1 "We have seen with great regret the increased and
increasing aggression of Romanism upon the pure and
reformed branch of the Catholic Church of Christ to
which we belong ; more especially we have read with
indignation the bold endeavour of the Bishop of Rome
to exercise a power which is the sole prerogative of our
beloved Sovereign, and to confer titles which imply un-
limited spiritu,l jurisdiction.
" We consider this to be an invasion of the rights of
the Crown, and an attempt to restore a state of tyranny
from which our Church and people were so mercifully
delivered by the glorious Reformation.
" We consider the language held by one whom we
can only designate as the nominee of a foreign prelate
"to be an infraction of the spirit, if not of the letter, of
the common and statute law of the realm; we look upon
it as dishonourable to our God and the Gospel preached
by our Church.
"We cannot allow a foreign prelate to arrogate to
himself unrebuked the title of Supreme Ruler of the
Church of Christ, nor read without the greatest asto-
nishmenti hat one who, if not a foreigner by birth, is ye;
deputed by a foreigner, should maintain that ' he will
govern, and shall continue to govern, the counties of
Middlesex, Hertford, and Essex, as ordinary thereof;
and those of Surrey, Sussex, Kent, Berkshire, and
Hampshire, with the islands annexed, as administrator
with ordinary jurisdiction.'
" We assure your Lordship of our determination, in
dependence on God's grace, to uphold the supremacy of
the Crown, as declared in Acts of Parliament and. canons
ecclesiastical, without any mental reservation, and t a
maintain at once the independence of our Church and
the rights of conscience, which it is this country's pri-
vilego still so fully to enju. We do not hesitate, bko-
a ise, to express our own determination to keep in mind
the vow which we took upon ourst-lees at eur ordination,
' to banish and drive away all erroneous and strange doc-
trines contrary to God's word;' and such we believe to
be much of the worship, as well as the peculiar dogmas,
of the Church of Rome,
" We pray that the God of all grace, who has solely
by his mercy and Providence protected our Church and
land, may give your Lordship wisdom and strength, a;
this momentous crisis, to maintain the paramount im-
portance of the pure word of God, and, in the midst of
times of strife and violence, to uphold the peace-giving
principles of the Gospel of Truth.
