Anew st. Peters in London.
The London Ne,os of the lst inst, says

The London Ns,os of the lst inst, says:
sour columns are graced to day by two curl
ous documents. One is an appeal TO the piety
and charity of Italians, emanating from The
Holiness Of our Lord, Pope Plus TX exciting
them to contribute to the erection of Roman
Catholic Church in London and the other
proclamation Of the Archbishop of Florence
enforcing the petition of his master upon tn,
flock committed to his care.
The cool mpudenee OF the two digniiaries
from whom these manifestoes emanate, is the
first reflection awakened by their perusal. 'Th,
Holiness of our Lord who will not tolerate m
English Protestant church within the walls oi
his capital, proposes 10 have church of his owr
erected in the very heart of the metropolis o.
England. as II IL were the most reasonable pro
ject in the world. The prelate who preside.
over the Romish church in Tuscany. whence IN,
persecution off protestants is still ringing II
our ears, is the first to Join in the illustfiou,
beggnr's petition Both, nj least indirectly
pay the English people and government the
compliment &C sttribgtinG 10 them more OF
Christian forbearance than they have shown
themselves TO be animated by.
"IIs eminc nee, Cardinal Wisemnn, is eulo-
pisiically noticed in the pontifcal petition
Nevertheless, IL looks as If Po Mono did not
entirely trust him as il his holiness feared he
had made the cardinal too great man to rely
upon his gratitude. The Pope, iu fact, declares
nv this manifesto, that he cannot rely upon the
adeliiy of his hierorchy in England, unless they
receive an Italian garrison among them. The
projected church Of 'S'. Peters, in London is
to be ARRAYS governed by congregation Of
Italian secular priests, founded at Rome, that the
Roman spirit may always influence the same.
The priests of St Peters, London are, in
fact, 10 be permanent spies upon the conduct Of
the English Roman Catholics in the interest of
the Roman court"
The following is The pnpa missive referred to

able obstacle 10 the propagation Of the Cath.
ole faith in the metropolis, but even to its pres.
ervation Let II suffice merely to remember
that Of more than 100000 Catholics who are
now in that immense city, scarcely 30 O0G can
find place IN attend The holy mass on the
days OF festival.
The Italians, there most numerous, feel in
an especial manrer the loss they experience
from the want Of church whore they might
freely assemble, and without expense listen 10
the holy mass, whence they are exposed 10 the
painful alternative either Of entirely neplectinc
oil religious duties, or Of frequentlng protestant
churches This danger Of losing the holy faith
Is still NOR manifest to them, because some Of
their npostate countrymen, stimulated by Prot

them. and have lately opened Protestant tenn
pie for the Italians, which. to deceive and en-
snnre the simple, has been called, and bears on
its facade, the lying title Of Italian Catholic
Church" Toremoye, therefore, from the Italians
