LONDON, THURSDAY, DECEMBER 5, 1850.

The Protest of the Archbishops and some of the
Bisbops of the Church of England against " the ar-
rogant assumption of the Bishop of ROME to exercise
spiritual dominion over this country, and to re-assert
his cla7m to supremacy by nominating certain Romish
ecclesiastics to particular places or sees in this king-
dom, . thus interfering with a prerogative constitu-
tionally belonging to her MAJESTY alone," is a most
remarkable and important document. It is signed
by both the Archbishops and by all the Bishops, with
two exceptions, those exceptions being the Bishop of
EXETER and the Bishop of ST. DAVID'S. We are at
a loss to account for the non-appearance of the sig-
nature of the latter Right Rev. Prelate, and conclude
it must have been the result of accident. With re-
gard to the Bishop of EXETER, his refusal to sign
this document can only be regarded as a virtual de-
nial of the Royal supremacy, a course of proceeding
in which we should have imagined those who have
hitherto upheld and supported him would have fol-
lowed his example. We must confess that we are
more surprised at finding the signature of the
Bishop of OXFORD attached to this protest
than at the omission of that of the Bishop of EXETER,
Not only is this protest a distinct avowal that the
communion of Rome is a'" communion which con-
tinues to maixtain practices repugnant to Gon's
word ; inculcates blasphemous fables and dangerous
deceits, and prescribes, as necessary to salvation, the
belief of doctrines grounded on no warranty of Scrip-
ture ;" but it is a distinct acknowledgment of the ab-
solute supremacy cf the QUEEN in things ecclesiasti-
cal ; a clear declaration on the part of the Bishop of
LONDON, of the Bishop of OXFORD, and of the other
signing Bishops, " that to her MAJESTY appertains the
chief government of all estates of this realm, whether they
be ecclesiastical or civil." After this declaration we
trust we shall have no more protestings from any
whose signatures are attached to this document against
the decisions of the QUEEN and her Privy Council in
matters touching the doctrines of the Church, and we I
take it for granted that neither the Bishop, of OXFORD
nor thijiiShopf4 L'oispote.are ainong the 1,800 eJergy
who have gigned,the propositions-touching the-Royal
upreaiacy to- which ar; 13Broair, of St. Barnabae;"
