THE LIVERPOOL STANDARD.

TO THE DUKE OF WELLINGTON.

Herne Bay, Kent, Nov. 19.
My Lord Duke,—l trust your grace will pardon the
liberty that I, almost a total stranger to your grace, am
now taking in writing on the subject of the Papal en-
croachments. During the passing of the act 9 and 10
George IV., A.D. 1829, your grace promised that you
would, should you be disappointed at the conduct of
Roman Catholics after the granting of the Emancipation
Act, at the opening of parliament propose a bill for the
re-enacting of the penalties against them. Surely the
time has now arrived ; may I therefore appeal to your
grace's feelings at the present moment of Papal arrogance
and aggression ? It will assuredly soften your grace's
anguish at the close of your valuable life, and add a crown
of imperishable honour and glory to your memory, should
your grace be the means of repelling this shameful attack
on the supremacy of our beloved Queen, and the rights
and privileges of our Apostolic Church.
I have the honour to be, my lord duke, your grace's
most obedient servant •

Many of the Scotch synods have forwarded addresses
to the Queen.

The Rev. C. Hesketh, rector of North Meols has called
a meeting at Southport, to consider the effect of the
Pope's late Bull.

The address to her Majesty from the members of the
English bar has been signed by 747 gentlemen, consisting
of 46 Queen's counsels, 3 masters in chancery, 9 serjeants-
at-law, and 687 outer-barristers.
A lengthened correspondence has taken place on differ-
ent occasions, between the Bishop of London and the
Tractarian disturbers, and the right reverend prelate, in
consequence of the censure which has been recently cast
upon him, has resolved, in order to justify himself, to lay
the whole before the public.
The Times, Morning Herald, Morning Post, Daily
News, the Standard, and Globe, all contain articles ex-
posing the misrepresentations, fallacies, and evasions, in
Dr. Wiseman's manifesto. The London daily journals,
in fact, are as unanimous on this subject as the public
at large.
A statement has been going the round of the newspa-
pers that the Queen has expressed herself in strong terms
relative to the lath Papal aggressions. The rumoured
conversation upon the subject between her Majesty and
Sir George Grey was first made public by the Rev. Dr.
Jelf, Principal of King's College, London, and has since
been contradicted in the Times by a writer possessed of
sufficient influence to command a prominent place in that
journal. _ _ _

An Anti-popish procession took place at Salisbury, on
Friday evening. The procession included effiiges in full
costume, of all the newly appointed Popish dignitaries,
with their " holy father," and paraded every street.
The procession was flanked by no less than 250 torch-
bearers, with flambeaux three feet long, and after passing
completely through the city and Cathedral Close (except
a short distancenear the Romanist chapel), the procession
terminated its route at an enclosed field at the top of the
city, called the Green Croft, where a spacious platform
had been erected, over a huge bonfire, and here " his
Holiness," and his minions, ware consigned to the flames,
amidst a display of fireworks, and the contemptuous
shouts of the multitude. Bury effort was made, through
a Whig-Radical magistruc,, to, stop this expressiou of
public feeling.
