MY DEAR FRI

,—I have just received another most in-
teresting letter from poor Ellis, of which I cannot resist send-
ing you the enclosed extract, as to the poor persecuted Roman
Catholic pedlar woman, to whom he seems to have been sent

"as au angel of God," first to open her eyes to the truth of the
gospel, and then to be a protection to her against her persecu-
tors; who are giving us a specimen there of what we may ex-
pect here when they have the power, which I greatly fear the
Lord will too surely grant them, shortly, as a righteous judg-
ment on this sinful land, for our abominable national apostacy.
The young and ignorant are being drawn away from the faith
of the gospel by these Jesuitical Puseyite teachers; and there
does not seem to be a man amongst those having authority,
either in church or state, to stand up openly to resist them!'
Surely "the god of this world hath blinded their minds, lest
the light of the glorious gospel of Christ should shine unto
them ;" for, how otherwise can we account for the infatuated
canduct of our bishops, and, I must also add, of the whole body
of Evangelical Clergy, that they do not rise in a body, and, by
united addresses to the hierarchy of the throne, publicly declare
their protest against these abominable apostates, that they
maybe ejected from that sound Protestant church, on whose
resources they are being supported, while they are undermin-
ing her foundations. If we ask the question, " Who is on the
Lord's side 7—Who ?" where shall we find the faithful men
ready to rise up against " the church itself?" or rather those
bold pretenders who arrogate to themselves her name and pri-
vileges, while they are preparing to betray her into the hands
of the enemy, who is truly "coming in like a flood" through
their supineness or treachery. How strik in gi v smnlirahle are flip
• t; „ vpilti. eremiati so the times in wined
• A wonderful and horrible thing is committed
:spliets prophecy falsely, and the priests bear
le by their means, and my people"—my people, observe-.-

the prop'

"love to have it so, and what will ye do in the end thereof?"
The time is past, my dear friend, depend on it, for doing
any good by delivering public lectures, or making speeches
on platforms. The clergy must act,—and act unitedly—
on openly avowed Protestant grounds, in support of the
Protestant faith. Let them unfurl their banner, ' Who is on
the Lord's side? Who ?" Let them assemble in county or dio-
cesan meetings, and prepare, and draw out, and sign a declara-
tion, containing a distinct avowal of their determination, by
God's help, to maintain the principles of the Reformation both
in church and state. Let it be signed by all who are true to
"the faith once delivered to the saints," and let it be presented,
by deputations, at the foot of the throne. We shall then be
" able to discern between the righteous and the wicked, between
him that serveth God and him that serveth him not." (Mal. iii.
18.) We should then see whether " seven bishops" could be
found, now, who have the holy boldness to stand up, as in the
days of the Papist James, before the throne, or, if needful, at
the bar of a court of justice, to maintain tkeir Christian prin-
ciples, according to their solemn obligation at their ordination.
0 ! my dear friend, surely we have fallen on "perilous times,"
when it becomes every sincere Christian patriot to be in con-
tinual prayer to the Lord of Hosts, to raise up some God-fearing
men, "after his own heart," who shall rule this people in
righteousness' and deliver us out of the hand of our enemies,
until He shall come, who is " the Prince of the kings of the
earth ;" who " shall indeed be as an hiding-place from the
wind and a covert from the tempest; as rivers of waters in a
dry place, as the shadow of a great rock in a weary land."
(Is. 32, 2.)

THE REGISTERED PALETOT CASE

TO Tlll

EDITOR OF THE LIVERPOOL STANDARD.
SIR,—In your report of the proceedings before the
Chancellor of of England on Saturday, June 12th. you describe
ourselves as receiving the protection of the Court in respect to
an infringement of our patented right to an invention, and by
an assumption of the title by which it has been publicly known.
From the great popularity we have attained by the sale of the
subject of the injunction, a garment styled the Registered
Paletot, of Llama Cloth, it may be assumed that the public will
be somewhat interested with the precise fac,a-ot the case.
It has already been described, that, when first introducing
our invention, we with much care selecte'd a name hitherto un-
known in this country; as, tracing th€ origin of the word pis"
letot, it was shown that it was derived from the Greek, adopted
by the Roman, and afterwards by the French linguists. Cie-
cumjicitur corpori pallium habitils Grwcorum” ; by BayleY,
thus, paletoque, or pallescotet moat with sleeves.
That we exercised due cauti fi in selecting an unusual name,
has, by the result of these r ent proceedings in the Court of
Chancery, been fully prove For such, unfortunately, is the
state of competition of trad , or the envy of individuals engaged
in it, that, should eminent' patronage and success attend an/
member in particular, h /is immediately subjected to the like
injury of which we have ad cause to complain. Now, had we
advertised our inventio simply as a new overcoat, it is more
than probable that, er this, we should have been confoundeo
with the many advert' era that since our appearance before the,
public have assumed a somewhat similar description to this*
which from the first has been employed by us.
The defendant in this case, being perhaps more conspicuol
than the rest, was first selected to be an example, as we are no,_.

far as regards the English language) of the title Register

without first giving them notice. We would, therefore, resPec,
fully beg permission, through the medium of your colunaol
now to notify this our intention with regard to all present 4,3'.
future copyists; for it would appear, from the affidavits OM
by Messrs. Dawbarn and Son, of Liverpool, Messrs. Werirol
and Son, of Birmingham, as, also, many of our other influent.. il
agents, that they have4xperienced equal inconvenience wi,t,'d
ourselves through so many tradesmen in their neighbourho of
assuming the same, or a similar unauthorized, title to that us

here to explain, that we believe that, had a continuance of the,,
unfair proceedings been allowed, we should have been serioniVal
