THE PAPAL AGGRESSION

-
DEPUTATION TO THE BISHOP OF LONDON.
Yesterday morning a deputation from the clergy of
the city of London waited upon the Bishop of London,
at London House, St. James's, for the purpose of pre-
senting to his Lordship a memorial from the clergy of
the Arehdeaconry of London on the subject of the re-
cent Papal aggression.
The Rev. H. R. Roxby read to his Lordship the fol-
lowing memorial:—
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 assumed authority
a Cardinal Archbishop of Westminster, and in assign-
ing, under a papal bull, certain districts of the country
to the spiritual jurisdiction of clergy entitled Bishops of
the Roruish Church, sae feel it oar duty to declare our
resolution, with God's help and blessing, to co-
' operate us far as we are able in guarding the rites and
privileges of our native Church from the assaults of
foreign and usurped dominion. The y call to mind the
fact ;hat the faith of Christ, in its purity of doctrine and
worship, had boon planted and established in the realm
of Britain some centuries before the mission from the
Romirli Sec, in the time of Pope Gregory, had let foot
upon our shores. We know when the Church of Rome had,
by its unscriptural decre7s arid idolatrous practices, cor-
rupted the primitive faith, with :shut joy the call to re-
formation was received in this land, and at how great
price our religious freedom was vindicated and recovered
by our Protestant fore fathers; and wo believe and
tru,t that there exists, in the laity as well as the clergy
of our communion, such a hearty u'!rh for the main-
tenance of the Christian' truth in all its integrity and

verity, as elLcinally to resist this nova and pre-
sumi tuous me event; which appears to us to be nothing
lass than an affront to the Queen's T.dsjytty, and the
lawful prelates, clergy, and people of this Protestant
kingdom, and a bold attempt to undermine, and even-
tually to 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 counsel in our present conjuncture.
" We cannot conclude this memorial without request-
ing to offer to your Lordship our best and warmest
thanks for the dignified and uncompromising Christian
tone of your reply to our Rev. Brethren at Westminster,
and we ever pray, &e."
The Bishop of LONDON Sad that, having read the
memorial presented to him by the clergy of the city of
London, ho wished to express his entire concurrence in
its principles. It was so important, however, that ho
would rather abstain at present from making any formal

reply.
The Rev. IL R. ROXBY, on the part of the London
clergy, thanked his Lordship for the courtesy which on
this, and every other occasion, his Lordship had exhi-
bited towards his rev. brethren.—The deputation then
withdrew.
LIZIEHOUSR —Yesterday, a meeting of the laity of
this parish was held at the Town-hall, Limehouso—the
Rev. George Roberts in the chair. The speakers unani-
mously condemned the recent Papal aggression, and re-
solutions to that effcct were agreed to. An address to
the Bishop of the diocese was also passed.

THE PROTESTANT FEELING OF THE COUNTRY.—
We join in the hope, and look forward to the issue of, the
struggle with confidence, because we know that the vast ma-
jority of the people of England are as firmly opposed to the
incursions of Rome as were their martyred forefathers. The
Protestant feeling of the country will soon be roused, and
we had a striking proof in our town on Tuesday night that
is by no means dormant at present. Mrs. Fanny Kemble
was reading the fine historical play of King John, and when
she came to the reply of the monarch to the Romish car-
dinal—
" Thou can'st not, cardinal, devise a name
So slight, unworthy, and ridiculous,
To charge me to an anse er, as the Popo.
Tell him this tale, and from the mouth of England
Add this much more That no Italiun priest
Shall Tythe or toll in toy dominions."
The last line drew forth a kng and spontaneous cheer,
which amply proved two things—that the language ee sbaks_
pore is fitted for all ages, and that resistance to the tyranny
of Rome exists, as an innate principle, in the minds of Eng-
lishmen.—Cheltenham Journal.

'SUDDEN DEATH. OF COLONEL EIFRSTEMAN.—We
regret to announce the sudden death of the above-named
gentleman, while on a visit to Mrs. Bingham, his mother-in-
law, at Southend. The circumstances under which the me-
lancholy event took place were thus detailed at the inquest,
held on Wednesday, at the Royal Hotel, before W. Codd,
Esq., coroner for the county :—Richard White, servant to
Mrs. Bingham, residing on the Terrace, at Southend, de-
posed—The deceased, Jeremiah Kersteman, was a magistrate
of the county, residing at Canewdon, and was between sixty
and seventy years of age. He came on a vhit to Mrs.
Bingham, his mother-in-law, about three weeks since, and
appeared in the enjoyment of good health and spirits. The
last time I saw him alive was about twenty minutes berme
eight o'clock last eight. He was then going up stairs.
About ten minutes after Mrs. Kersteman came down stairs
and said that she thought Colonel Kersteman (the deceased)
was either dying or dead. 1 went up stairs immediately,
when I founit him lying across the bed in the dressing-room,
quite motionless. I unfastened his collar and took his stock
oft; and held him in a sitting position until the arrival of
Mr. Warwick, the surgeon, who had been sent for, and be
came immediately, but the deceased appeared to he quite
dead. —Mr. Warwick, surgeon, had no reasonable doubt
whatever that the death of the deceased was to be attributed
to an attack of apoplexy. Verdict accerdiugly.—Essex

GUILDFORD, FRIDAY.---StICIDE OF A MEDICAL
ASSISTANT.—A very melancholy case of suicide occurred in
this town on Wednesday evening last. The deceased, Mr.
Wm. Castor, a dispensing and visiting assistant, in the em-
ploy of Messrs. Steadman and Sells, surgeons, of Guildford,
having been found dead at his lodgings at a late hour on
Wednesday night, a jury were empannelled by Mr. J. Rand,
coroner for the borough, on the following morning. From
the evidence adduced, there could be no doubt that the de-
ceased's death had been caused by poison, but whether
taken intentionally did not appear. It came out that the
deceased had been lately summoned to the County Court
for a trifling debt, and that the circumstance had occasioned
him considerable annoyance. The unfortunate man had
attended the performance of an oratorio at the public hall
on the evening of his death, and bade his friends " Good bye"
on returning home.
The jury having consulted together,
found the following verdict :—" That the deceased died from
the effects (,f poison, but whether taken medicinally, or with
an intention to eornmit suicide, there was no evidence to
show."

...ley will take
power under the new Act to divert the whole of the Hatherl
Brook, on one side of the town, and Wyman's Brook on the
other, so as to form one or two common tanks with the Chelt
sewerages. If this can be carried out the sewerage of the
town will be of the most perfect order, and the streams 3
in future be kept perfectly free from m rnatio tu
