THE WIDOW of the late Rev. GEORGE
EDWARD lIOLLEST, of Frimley, Surrey —Frimley, Bag-
sh,e, November, I iZO. —An earnest APPEAL to public benevolence
is respectfully submitted to a few triends and neighbours on behalf
of the WIDOW of the late Rev. GEORGE EDWARD HOLI.EST,
who for a p -riod of 11 years, in an exemplary manner, performed
the duties of his church. and was distinguished by his benevolence
and charity in the wide district under his charge. The act of
atrocity by which the Rev. Mr. Holiest was suddenly cut off is
universally known, but those only who are acquainted with his posi-
tion are aware that he never had the means of making a provision
for his widow. Under such circumstances, it is hoped that the case
of Mrs Holle,t will commend itself to the generous consideration
of those who are blessed with the means of alleviating, so far as
human sympathy and assistance can alleviate, the distress of a
family so fearfully bereft of its natural supporter. The income of
Mrs. Holiest does not exc:ed 401. per annum, and subscriptions are
earnestly solicited in aid of these inadequate means. Subscriptions
will be thankfully received by the following bankers :—Messrs.
Berries, Farquhar, and Co. ; Messrs. Williams, Deacon, and Co.;
Messrs. Barclay, Tritton, and Co. ; Messrs. Coutts, and Ce.; Messrs.

(without its horse-cloth appearance), to a double purpose—that is to
say, besides being used us a wrapper for the knees, it can be used as a
cloak for the shoulders.

Thus, by simply drawing in a string, rests are formed for the
shoulders, and the garment assumes the graceful appearance of the
ancient Toga. (whence its name)
Tne price is One Guinea, or with a hood (now in general use for
travelling in France), and bound with braid, it is One Guinea and a

When the Toga is used as a wrapper for the knees, the hood forms

PAPAL AGGRESSION.

MEETING AT WARE HORNE.

On Wednesday a large and spirited meeting of
the inhabitants of Warehorne and its vicinity was
held in the National School-room, Warehorne, to
consider the propriety of presenting an address to
her Majesty the Queen, on the attempted assumption
of temporal and spiritual authority by the Pope of
Rome, to protest against such unwarrantable preten
sion and aggression, and to assure her Majesty of
their unalterable attachment to her royal person and
government, and to the institutions of the country,
and of their cordial co-operation with their fellow-
subjects to uphold the undoubted prerogatives of the
Crown, and their own religious liberties. The room
was densely crowded by persons of all denominations
and parties, many standing at the doors and windows,
being unable to gain admission.
The Rev. Joule DUFTON, Rector of Warehorne,
having been called to the chair, and having detailed
the objects of the meeting, as mentioned above, pro
ceeded to say that there were occasions in every
country, and critical times would arise, when persons
in the most quiet walks of life must step forth from
their retirement to express their sentiments on
what was taking place, and what, at this junc-
ture, all must acknowledge to be a most insolent and
audacious aggression by the Pope of Rome. Such a
time had arrived when they saw a foreign potentate
pretending to take possession of this country as a
spiritual waste, carefully mapping it out into districts,
and arrogating to himself the rights, privileges, and
prerogatives of our most gracious Sovereign, supreme
in all causes ecclesiastical or civil, and who alone was
the fountain and source of all honour and dignity in
this kingdom. This audacious aggression of the
Pope, which they were this'evening met to repel, was,
in his opinion, and he believed it was the unanimous
feeling of the meeting, a direct insult to the Queen
and an outrage on the Protestant feeling of the coun-
try.—(Cheers.) On this point he trusted there was
but one feeling of indignation, but one feeling of re-
sistance among them.— (Loud cheers.) The question
was not merely whether the Pope had a right to do
what be had done or not, but it was a question which
must ultimately decide whether the people of England
were Protestant, and being Protestant, whether they
were determined to stick to the glorious principles of
the Reformation—principles which it cost their fore-
fathers so much to secure—principles which it was our
duty to preserve unsullied, in defiance of the daring and
unparalleled attempt to impose the fetters of a foreign
potentate on our rights, our liberties, and our con-
sciences.—(Applause.) For his part, his motto was
" Fear not." He never for a moment could think
that any harm could issue from such an open attempt
of the Papal power. He believed it would be unsuc-
cessful for its avowed object, and would only redound
to its own discomfiture. He believed it would be
overruled for good by the Almighty Disposer of all
events.—(Hear, hear.) But shall we tamely submit
to tyranny like this ? Shall we look on such pro-
ceedings with unconcern or with indifference ? Shall
we hold our peace ? No, no. Our loyalty to our
we owe it to our
Sovereign shall burn the brighter. Our Protes-
otaonutnistr, my shallnay in
goorset,rownegeorw.
itS Surely
oyur Saviour to vin-
el
e
dicate the beautiful Church he has committed to our
charge. We will let the Pope know, Dr. Wise-
man, now a " cardinal priest,, ' and the organised
Roman hierarchy—we will bring the matter
honestly and boldly before them—we will take our
stand, and we will tell them that they shall not
dare thus to tamper with the supremacy of the
Queen, the liberty of the subject, and the reli-
gion of the nation.—(Great cheering.) It should
never be forgotten, that one of the steps which led to
the Reformation was the renunciation of the Pope's
authority, and the decided and unequivocal recogni-
tion of the reigning Sovereign as 'the head of the
Church. Now, he would like to know what change
had taken place in the constitution either of Church
or State since that eventful period, that would make
that lawful now which was pronounced to be unlawful
then, and would restore a jot of the Pope's power and
authority over this nation which our forefathers so de •
cidedly and indignantly spurned.—(Hear, hear.) If
such a change had been made, then it would be found
in our Acts of Parliament and Statutes ; but let the
Act or Statute be produced by which such change is
made legal, and until this be done in terms as clear
and distinct as he found it in the oath, that "no
foreign prince, person, prelate, or potentate, bath, or
ought to have, any j urisdiction, power, superiority,
pre-eminence, or authority, ecclesiastical or spi-
ritual, within this realm," be must stand fast to his
position, that this Papal assumption is a glaring, inso-
lent, and direct assault on the supremacy of our
beloved Queen.— (Applause.) For is not the Pope
"a foreign prince or potentate," with little power in-
deed as regards his temporal rule, supported as he is
on his tottering throne by 12,000 foreign bayonets,
from his own angry subjects, and but lately com-
pelled to make his escape from his capital on the box
of a coach, and disguised in the garb of a foreign
livery ?—(Cheers and laughter.) Is he not a " foreign
person" unknown to us except by his name—a " pre-
late" of Rome and not of England ?—then what right
has he, more than any other foreigner, to exercise his
just issued that " We govern and shall
Sussex Kent, lordship over us ? What right has he to issue his
"Pastoral
sappointing a " Cardinal priest Archbishop of
Westminster," who has the audacity to say in his
continue to govern Surrey,
ordinary jurisdiction," thus virtually denying the le
gitimate authority of the British Queen.—(Hear.)
Is it possible to conceive langSuuasgsem,
more
eit &
n,
suc.
it, with
ingto
Englishmen than this ? Why, it is the language of
our conqueror—the conqueror of our faith !—and
with such a conviction it is a stern sense of duty
which calls us here to-night, it is a faithful adhe-
rence to our Protestant faith—to Bible truth—the
e:
chief corner-stone of that civil and religious liberty
rbothwhich, as on a solid foundation, rests our national
prosperity
State.--(Cheers.)
a village
g(e to
C e e rssa.y)
Will you then yield your liberties to this bull of the
pepsepi t
It ie in Church
of andevery for r the people
whether they will lay their conscience at the feet of
the Pope and this cardinal priest. Will you ?
(Shouts of " No, no.") He re-echoed the indignant
no. Free we are, and free we will remain ; and by
God's help, no Pope or cardinal priest shall rob us of
that precious boon—freedom of conscience—long se-
cured to us by the triumph of Protestant truth, and'
seduce our allegiance from a gracious, a beloved, and
pattern Queen.—(Cheers) He saw the Prime Mi-
nister had spoken out in his truthful and uncompro-
mising letter to the Bishop of Durham. It was rs
noble document, earnestly denouncing the aggression
on the Queen's supremacy and the constitutional laws
of the realm. On every side he saw his country
meeting and giving full expression to their sound Pro-
testant feelings, and declaring their attachment to our
great Protestant institutions in Church and State. He
agreed with those who thought that blame was attri-
butable to too many of the clergy of our Church, who
had undoubtedly carried their imitations of Popery,
both in doctrine and practice, to such an extent as
naturally to lead the Pope and feeble-minded men to
think that the " noble-minded people of England " had
lost all sense of true religion. He entertained no fear
for the consequences. God forbid they should have
any such feeling.—(Hear, hear.) The Bible is in the
hands of our people. It is the Bible, God's word ;
not in Papal bulls—in edicts from Rome—that they
look for the rule of their obedience and the foundation
of their trust. Our Church, appealing to Holy
Scripture as the standard of its faith, will not now, in
the 19th century, retrace her steps, relapse into the
errors which she renounced at the Reformation,
and again bow her neck to the yoke and spiritual
assumption of Rome. He trusted that all, both
Churchmen and Dissenters, would take a large and
liberal view of this question, so interesting
to all Protestants. He strongly advised them
to make it a question amongst themselves as
laymen, every loyal and religious man—each
on the ground that he thinks most weighty—
to
oppose the insidious attempts of Rome to degrade
and enslave them.—(Cheers.) Who that loves free-
dom can stand aloof from the great struggle in
which the mind of England is now embarked ?
Looking at the history of this nation, how is it pos-
sible for us not to see that this new assumption of
power by the Pope is a matter of immense interest to
us all, as Christians and as Englishmen ? Surely we
must have forgotten our history, if we are indifferent
to our present position and the duties it imposes on
us ! No doubt there were differences of opinion
amongst the Protestants of this realm ; but he felt
sure, if they wanted to adjust their differences, Rome
was not the umpire whom they would appoint,—
(Cheers.) Fortunately, by the blessing of God, one
universal feeling pervaded the hearts and minds of the
nation. He never knew a subject on which there
existed such an extraordinary unanimity. Indeed,
when they were told, our Church was a nullity ;
our religion, no religion ; our country—the
parent and nurse of the Society for the
Propagation of the Gospel, the Church Mis-
sionary, London Missionary, and Wesleyan
Missionary Societies—was a spiritual waste and wil-
derness, and its members could have no hope of ,part'
taking in the promises' of the Gospel, because their
Church; was not the Church of Christ, he thought'
,they could have but one declaration to make, one ear-
nest and decided protest,' against Roman domination.
--(Loud cheers.) As friend of civil and religioug

liberty, he trusted no pains or penalties would be re-
vived against our Roman Catholic fellow• country-
men ; let it be manifest, that in protesting against a
foreign ecclesiastic in our country, that we are
charitable, but firm, determined and faithful ; while
setting an example to others of our determination to
adhere to the principles of the Reformation, and hold
sacred the rights of conscience, that we are calm;
persevering, and resolute—ardent in the hope that
decisive steps may be taken to vindicate her Ma•
jesty's undoubted rights, to preserve the religious
liberties of her subjects, and repel the intolerable
aggression of the Pope.—(Cheers.) The Rev. Gentle-
man then read, examined, and explained to the meet-
ing the Pope's bull, the pastoral letter of Cardinal
Wisetnan, and the oath taken by every Romish bishop
on his elevation to the episcopal chair, pointing it
out as being of peculiar interest at this eventful crisis.
He urged the necessity of a more effectual system of
education, as Popery was upheld by ignorance and
darkness—the principles of the Reformation,by wisdom
and light. He concluded by calling on Mr. Thomas
Kingsnorth, churchwarden of Kenardington, to pro-
pose an address to her Majesty.
Mr. KING*NORTH said he had pleasure in attending
the meeting, and proposed the address now read for
their adoption.—(Cheers.)
It was seconded by Mr. WEESES (churchwarden),
and carried by acclamation :
" TO THE QUEEN'S MOST EXCELLENT MAJESTY.
_ _

"The humble address of the Rector, Churchwardens,
and other inhabitants of the parishes of Warehorne and
Keuardington, in the county of Kent, in public meeting
assembled.
" May it please your Majesty,—We your Majesty's
loyal and faithful Protestant subjects, the rector, church-
wardens, and other inhabitants of Warehorne, and Kenar-
dington, in the county of Kent, desire most humbly to
approach your Majesty, and declare our unalterable at-
tachment to your Majesty's Royal person and govern-
ment, and to the institutions of our country.
" We are deeply sensible of the great blessings, both
civil and religious, this Protestant nation has enjoyed
under the wise and beneficent rule of the illustrious House
of Brunswick.
" We view with feelings of astonishment and just in-
dignation the insolent and audacious attempt of the Pope
of Rome to rob your Majesty of the supremacy vested in
the Crown, by assuming the right to create dignities and
confer ecclesiastical and territorial jurisdiction within
this your Majesty's realm of England on prelates of his
uwn appointment.
" We regard this pretension and unwarrantable as-
sumption of power an insult to your Majesty, a violation
of the spirit of the Constitution, and a daring attempt to
break down the great bulwarks of the rights and liberties
of this Protestant nation.
" We are anxious to assure your Majesty of our de-
termination, as dutiful subjects, to uphold and defend
your Royal supremacy and prerogatives in connexion
with the glorious principles of the Reformation, which,
under God, have been the security alike of the privilege
of the Throne and the best interests of the people.
" We humbly pray and earnestly appeal to your Ma-
jesty to take such steps, as in your Royal wisdom shall
seem best, to vindicate your Majesty's lawful and un-
doubted rights, to preserve the religious liberties of your
Majesty's subjects, to repel the intolerable aggression of
the Pope, and prevent the acknowledgment or assump-
tion in this, your Majesty's realm, of any dignity, juris-
diction, or authority by any foreign prince or potentate.
"Nor can we resist the conviction that this aggression
has been encouraged from the insidious within,' by the
many errors both in doctrine and practice which have
lately been introduced by a Ronaanizing party in the
Church of England.
" We fervently pray that your Majesty may long live,
under the Divine guidance and blessing, to sway the des-
tinies of this great empire, and to be the defender of
their civil and religious liberties.
" Your Majesty's loyal and faithful subjects."
Three cheers were then given for the Queen, and
it was proposed that part of the National Anthem
should be sung, which was enthusiastically and ener-
getically responded to by the whole assembly.
Mr. BARING next came forward and said, they had
been called together by their worthy rector at a mo
mentous crisis, and met, he trusted, as Christians who
valued the simple and blessed truths of the Gospel
which God had been pleased to reveal. They had met
also as loyal and faithful subjects, to express their
opinions on the assault that had been made on the
rights of their Sovereign, and their own freedom and
liberties, and to resist it.—(Cheers.) He thought we
lived in a highly-favoured land, and under the sway of
a good and gracious Queen, and a tolerant Government.
We enjoyed the great blessing of religious freedom,
every man having the privilege of worshipping
God according to the dictates of his own conscience.
This was a blessing indeed, and he thanked God
for it.— (Cheers.) He then forcibly pointed out the
many civil evantages we enjoyed, and called on all
heartily to unite to defend the Queen and our faith
against this impudent assault of the Pope of Rome.—
(Cheers.) Having made a few remarks on Lord
John Russell's manly letter, he moved the recond re
solution.

Mr. JoaN THURSTON, sen., of Ham-street (Wes-
leyan), said he had listened with much interest to
the excellent speech and explanations of the Chair-
men, and did not expect, when he entered the room,
to receive so much information as he had done. He
thanked Mr. Dufton for it. He agreed in all that had
been said of the inestimable value of the pure word
of God.—(Cheers.) The truths of the Gospel were
worth struggling for, and he rejoiced to believe that
all the Wesleyan body would come forward and op-
pose the present presumptuous attack on the Queen,
and the religious liberties they enjoyed.--(Cheers.)
He seconded the resolution, and that the following
address be presented to Lord John Russell, M.P.,
which was carried unanimously :
"TO THE RIGHT HON. LORD J. RUSSELL, ILP., FIRST

LORD OF HER MAJESTY'S TREASURY, &C., &C.
" The respectful address of the rector, churchwar-
dens, and other inhabitants of Warchorne and Kenar-
dington, in the county of Kent.
" May it please your Lordship,—Feeling in common
with the great body of the Protestant clergy and laity
of this country, the utmost indignation at the attempt of
a foreign putelitlte, the Pope, to establish an organizsd
hierarchy within this portion of her Majesty's dominions
—an attempt involving a direct and flagrant invasion of
the Royal supremacy, of the rights of the Protestant
Bishops and clergy, and c f the • spiritual independence
of the nation,' we have read with the warmest admira-
tion, and the liveliest gratitude, a letter which has ap-
peared in the public prints, bearing your signature, and
addressed to the Right Reverend the Bishop of Dur-
ham.' We rejoice to read in this letter your Lordship's
explicit declaration that the present state of the law
shall be carefully examined, and the propriety of adopt.
ing any proceeding with reference to the recent assump-
tion of power deliberately considered.'
" Assembled as we are in public meeting to address
our beloved Queen at this eventful crisis, we cannot se-
parate without this public expression of our admiration
of the noble and constitutional tone of your Lordship's
letter, and of our heartfelt thanks for the course your
Lordship, in your high and responsible position, has
taken—a course in which your Lordship will be enthu-
siastically supported by every sound-hearted Protestant,
and every lover of civil and religious liberty.
" We have the honour to remain, with grateful re-
speA, your Lordship's faithful servants."
The third resolution was moved by Mr. Kniss-
NORTE' (churchwarden), and seconded by Mr. WooL-
LEY (Wesleyan). After a vote of thanks to the
Chairman, a number of signatures was affixed to each
address, and the meeting, which lasted three hours,
separated much pleased with the proceedings of the
evening.
