THE LIVERPOOL gTA-NbAltlll.

The following address to the Queen, from St. Saviour's
congregation and district, was read after morning prayer,
on Sunday, by the incumbent :
"To the Queen's .float Excellent Majesty!.
"May it please your !Majesty,—We, the clergy, church-
wardens, members of St. Saviour's congregation, and inhabi.

not be. Perhaps, as long as this is so, it is in vain to
meet my specific statement of facts by a general assertion
that the society is not in the hands cf the Tractarians ;
or to attempt to throw dust in the eyes of the public by
ostentatiously payaeing the theory that all must be sound
as long as the whole bench of bishops are on the com-
mittee, and so diverting attention from another very im-
portant fact, viz., that public societies are virtually in the
management of a small number of working members.

TO HIS EMINENCE THE MOST REV. ARCHBISHOP

WISIMAN

MOST Ritv. SIR,—You some short time since announ-
ced your intention to govern eight counties in England,
intimating that the character of your government was to
he Spiritual, and its rule the canon law of your church. A
highly-distinguished individual has made known to you
that this law constitutes the great permanent objection to
the erection of the new hierarchy under which it is to be
administered. The reasonableness of such an objection is
manifest to all who are acquainted with the system against
which it has been made. _ _ _

It is possible, however, that there may be misinforma-
tion on this very important subject. The See of Rome
has permitted the omission of a clause, at which alarm had
been taken, from the bishop's oath. If a similar principle
of castigation have been applied to the canon law, it would
not be unbecoming in you to make the fact known. I
would therefore beg to inquire whether, in contemplation
of the enterprise your church has hazarded in England,
the canon law by which English Roman Catholics are to
be governed has been expunged from those statements of
dogma and principle which have been condemned by pub-
lic opinion, and whether you will be pleased to refer to
some such corrected volume of your laws, sanctioned by
competent authority, and containing an express repudia-
tion of anti-social doctrines promulgated in your " CorFus
Juris Canonici !"

I remain, Sir, yours, &c.,

The Notfa Mercury says that Dr. Newman is likely to
be created Romish 13:shop of Nottingham.

A sentence of excommunication has been passed against
Lord Beaumont for his recent letter.

The Wesleyan Committee of Privileges have agreed to
an address to the Queen, in which they suggest the
conduct of certain clergy as the cause of the Papal schism.
A Goon MOVE.—A Protestant meeting of the laity has
been called at Freemason's-hall, on Thursday next, Lord
Ashley in the chair, to protest against the Pope's bull,
and " also to invoke her Majesty's aid to suppress the
various Romish innovations recently introduced in some
quarters into the services of the Church of England."
George Bacon, of Lamcote House, near Nottingham, a
dissenter of the .ndependent sect, has written a letter to
the senior Roman Catholic priest at St. Barnabas, Not-
tingham, presenting a painting of " Christ in the outer
court, crowned with thorns," by Gasper Crayer, for an
altar-piece to his chapel, as a proof that he is " not one
of those whose mind is contracted in matters of Church
discipline," and that he " would be the last to enslave
the consciences •Jf other who do not see with the same
eyes as himself." The painting is valued at 200 guineas.
A correspondent of the, Times calls attention to the cha-
racter of the Romish books of devotion. He borrowed
Iron? a young lady, a friend of his, " a Daily Companion"
and " Complete Preparation," published in this country
for the use of English Papists, as late as 1845. We can-
not pollute our columns with the filthy stuff contained in
its " devotions for confession ;" suffice it that the writer

is fully justified in exclaiming: " Every crime for which
Sodom and Gomorrah were burnt is here openly alluded
to ; and this book is a Roman Catholic Lady's Daily
Companion t" _ _

Lorrd Fielding, as high-sheriff of Flintshire, has, in
obedience to a requisition most respectably and numer-
ously signed, convened a county meeting at Mold, to con-
skier the recent pretensions of the Italia❑ Bishop ; or, in
his lordship's phraseology, "the late ecclesiastical ar-
rangements of the Catholic Church' in this country"—
thus begging the question at issue. His lordship's new
teachers ought to have told him that there has been no

Catholic Church, logically speaking, since the rupture of
the Patriarch of Constantinople with the Pope.
A correspondent of the Times points out that Lord

Fielding's is not a solitary instance of money left or given
by a parent to build and endow a Protestant Church, and

an edifice for Romish worship having been raised in lieu ?
At Erdington, a village near Birmingham, and scarcely
two miles from Oscott,a beautiful building, like a modern
cathedral, has been completed and opened during the past

BISHOP GII.LIS AND THE REV. MR. BAlLEE.—Bishop
Gillis has addressed a letter to the Rev. Mr.. Baylee Pro-
fessedly in reply to the publicatio) of the letter with re-
ference to the perversion of Lird Fielding and the part

enacted by the Roman Catholic Bishop above named.
Dr. Gillis states—" On receipt of your first letter, I wrote
to the noble lord for whose soul you are solicitous to
draw his and Lady —'s attention to the footing on
which you have now thought fit to place the matter. When
I receive their answer I shall know how far publicly to
deal with your late contributions to the Herald. Mean-
while, rev. sir, I must leave the course open for you to
walk over as if treading undisputed ground, and shall only
add that the imputation you have thrown out against
-me,

of having privately circulated a printed account of our
conference, is one to which, in justice to myself, I am
bound to give the most unqualified denial." Would it
be charitable to suppose that this seeming contradiction is
in reality an admission of all that Mr. Diylee had stated ?

We see no reason to doubt that such is the case ; unies

he did n

THE ASSERTIONS OF Dn. WISEMAN.—Dr. Wiseman,

Morning Berald states, on authority, that Dr.
Wiseman has not been out of England during the week.
Upon his departure from St. George's Chapel, on Sunday
week, accompanied by his chaplain, he proceeded to the
seat of a Roman Catholic gentleman, in Buckinghamshire,
where he has been actively engaged in conference with
some of the most influential of the Roman Catholic peers
and commoners for the last four days. The result of the
lengthened consultation is to be the issuing of a manifesto
from the Rotnanists in this country, a most important

portion of which will be a serious castigation of

having completed the object of his sojourn, returned to
town on Friday, and arrived at his permanent residence,
in Golden-square, where he will remain in retirement
until after his installation,. which is to be gone through in
the strictest possible privacy.

ON CLAPHAM-COMMON
some days past a huge effigy of the Pope has been para-
ded in a carriage about the neighbourhood of Clapham,
with the ultimate view of its being publicly burnt on
Clapham-common. Every night last week crowds of
persons have assembled on the common in anticipation
of the exhibition. They were, however, disappointed till
last Friday night, when the execution formally took place,
in the prdsence of an immense assemblage of persons
from all quarters of the metropolis. The figure, which
was of huge size, was attired in a bright scarlet coat. A
stake-was erected in the middle of the common; and the
effigy having been attached to it, various combustible
motet ials•were piled around, and the whole burnt amidst
the shouts of the assembled spectators. As soon as the
