THE PAPAL AGGRESSION.

ANOTHER PAPAL BISHOP.—A bull has been received
from the Pope for the consecration of Dr. Vaughan as
Romish Bishop of Killaloe.
On Wednesday morning, the consecration of the new
Catholic church Just erected in Park-road, Clapham, took
place in the presence of Cardinal Wiseman and a large
assemblage of the Catholic clergy.
PROTESTANT ASSITTATION.—The annual meeting of
this society was held on Wednesday, at Exeter-hall, the
Earl of Winchilsea presiding. The chairman, in a strong
speech, reviewed the circumstances attending the recent
Papal aggression. They could have no peace with Rome,
who, if she was what she had always been, and must be
still, ought to be kept in check and allowed no opening
through which she might thrust her dectrineg into this
country. The passing of the Roman Catholic Relief Bill
by a government which was under the control of the See
of Rome had been followed by a system of religious, and
even temporal, aggression • and in the present condition
of Ireland might be seen die consequences of the feeble
policy which gave to such a power any opportunity of in-
fluencing the affairs or the people of this nation. (Hear,
hear.) He hoped in the course of time to see a truly Pro-
testant Parliament. As soon as the people of this nation
should have been awakened to a sense of the danger of
permitting the Romish system to act in the midst of them,
and as soon as that consciousness had obtained, they
would find that the legislature would no longer tamper
with that which was fraught with danger to the civil and
religious liberty of the country. The annual report stated
that the receipts for the year had shown an improvement
in the condition of the society, the assets nearly equalling
the liabilities. The amcunt received was altogether
£ll3l 95., and the expenditure was £999 Os. Bd., leaving
a balance to the society. The receipts from the sale of
publications amounted to £233 9s. 5d., and the demand
was increasing. A considerable number of meetings and
lectures had been attended during the year, and a large
number of persons had joined the association. The
meeting was addressed in very eloquent terms by Colonel
Abdy, J, P. Plumptre. M.P., Rev. Prebendary Townsend,
Rev. T. Nolan, Rev. Hugh Stowell. &c.
