PROTESTANTISM , POPERY , AND PUSEYISM . The preliminary proceedings for depriving Mr . Bennett of the incumbency of St . Paul ' s , Knightsbridge , and the chapelry of St . Barnabas , Pimlico , wereTcommenced on behalf of the Bishop of London , on Saturday . It will be recollected that Mr . Bennett , in his letter to the Bishop of London , stated that " if his lordship would not allow him time to
make the desired alterations in his mode of conducting the services at his churches , he had no alternative but to place his living into his lordship's hands . " This part of his letter the Bishop considered as a formal resignation , and intimated to Mr . Bennett that he accepted the resignation . A few days afterwards the bishop made arrangements for the future performance of the services in the churches , and informed Mr . Bennett of the nature of them . The
reverend gentleman then declared that he had not resigned at all , and , moreover , that it was not his intention to do so . The bishop informed him that he had resigned , and that he should , therefore , insist on his giving up the two churches . Mr . Bennett , however , stoutly refuses to do so , and the matter is now to be brought into the Ecclesiastical Court ; and , from the nature of the evidence which will be brought forward , it is likely to be some years before it is finally settled , as Mr . Bennett and his friends are determined to appeal to every court open to them , should the bishop succeed in the first instance .
Several of the most eminent ecclesiastical lawyers who have been consulted on the matter maintain that Mr . Bennett cannot be said to have resigned until he executes the formal deed required in such cases , a course which he is not likely now to adopt . Should the commissioners decide that there is ground for further proceedings , the bishop may , with the consent of Mr . Bennett , pronounce sentence at once , but as Mr . Bennett will not submit to this
course , the matter will have to go before the Arches Court . In the mean time the services at St . Paul's and St . Barnabas will be performed by the curates . Both the churches of St . Paul and St . Barnabas were built and endowed by the Reverend Mr . Bennett , the former of which is worth £ 1000 a-year , and the latter £ 350 . It is stated that the reverend gentleman has expended upwards of £ 100 , 000 in the building und endowing the churches and schools of the districts of St . Paul and St . Barnabas .
A public meeting of the inhabitants of the parish of Wallsend , convened by handbill , bearing the signatures of Messrs . Robert Weatherley and Thomas A . Cook , churchwardens , was held in the vestry , and , «> y adjournment , within the church , on Thursday ^ veelt , " for the purpose of considering the general conduct of the incumbent us the minister of the parish , the manner in which the services of the church were conducted , and the propriety of interference with the mentH
« rna or articie 8 of tho c j , anccl , or with alms collected for the poor . " The meeting was numerously attended . The chief Hpeaker was Mr . W . Dainbridgo , "umater-at-law , who accused tho vicar of having openl y derided Protestantism , of stigmatizing tho ¦ "evolution of 1 G 88 us a blunder and a crime . " Hi » continual cry was Hear tho Church , ' meaning Upar tho Priest . ' Ho approved of absolution and auricular confession ; and , in fact , were it not for the golde n c » ain that bound him . to hia parish there
could be no doubt go over Rome , as his daughter had already done . " A letter from the vicar was read in which he appealed to the Prayer Book and the Rubric in justification . Resolutions were passed expressing the belief of the meeting that the incumbent was not attached to the Protestant faith , seeking the advice of the bishop on the subject , and directing the churchwardens to remove some of the candlesticks from the communion table . The Dublin Evening Mail prints a petition by English Roman Catholic priests to the Propaganda at Rome against the establishment of the hierarchy in the manner in which it has been established . Referring to this complaint a distinguished Roman Catholic ecclesiastic says , " It was law in spirituals that we wanted , and not titles . The Bishops have
been , encroaching for above half a century . Their first step was to impose the oath at ordinations ; a thing equally unknown to canon law and opposed to English , and which , when thus introduced , Dr . Lingard and several other priests refused to take . Their next step was to assume the power of removing parish priests at their own pleasure , but in which they never quite succeeded before Dr . Wiseman came . Their last usurpation was that of the universal right of nominating to livings and churches . The Monks and Jesuits were the first of their opponents in this instance , and their resistance was successful ; but nothing but a strict law can prevent the ultimate success of the bishops . By means of the deathbed , they will by degrees get all these trusts into their own hands . "
In pursuance of a requisition to the high-sheriff of Huntingdonshire , a crowded meeting was held in the Sessions Court at the Town-hall ; J . Lawrance , Esq ., under-sheriff , presided . The Earl of Sandwich , Earl Fitzwilliam , the Reverend W . M'Ghee , the Reverend Mr . Baines , and Mr . Brighty ( a Dissenter ) , took part in the proceedings , which resulted in the adoption of an anti-Papal address to the Queen . . Earl Fitzwilliam spoke strongly against Roman Catholicism . He viewed the present controversy as no mere contest between Papal Episcopacy and Anglican Episcopacy , but between the principles of the 'Reformation and the Papacy : —
• " He believed that if this country were subject to the spiritual domination of the Church of Rome it would pave the way to the destruction of the civil liberties of the country . { Applause . ) His opinion was that Roman Catholic bishops should not be allowed to continue the use of the titles they had assumed—( hear , hear)—and that some measure should be prepared for preventing them from using those titles ' . Beyond that , he doubted the wisdom of any legislation , because he did not think any legislation calculated to attain the required end . " The Liverpool Courier says , with reference to the recent riot in Cheshire : — " Priest Brown , of Birkenhead . —It is rumoured that this gentleman ' s superiors are not pleased with the result of the late proceedings at Birkenhead , and that , in consequence , he has received orders to quit his present situation . "
A letter from the brother of Earl Grey , who is the Rector of Morpeth , to one of his churchwardens , is a curious specimen of Tractarian concession . To make the hour of morning service on Sundays at half-past ten o ' clock instead often , and to have a " plain service , " except on great festivals , for communicants , instead of a choral service , is the very maximum of Mr . Grey ' s concessions to the prejudices of the laity . Father Ignatius ( the Honourable and Reverend Mr . Spencer ) was assaulted in Liverpool , yesterday week . Whilst passing from St . Patrick's Chapel , he was met by two men , one of whom cast hi 6 arms around his neck ,
whilst the other tripped him . One of the party subsequently attempted to kick the reverend gentleman whilst he lay on the ground , but was prevented by a female , who struck him a severe blow with a basket across the head . A few blows passed between the attacking party and some bystanders , but the arrival of the police put an end to the disgraceful scene . The Reverend F . Oakeley makes an appeal to the readers of the Tablet , in its laat number , for help " towards making up a Httlo sum lor the bare maintenance of a person , who , by the prospect of downright deatitution , is tempted to renounce the faith . " and Reform
The Liverpool Protestant Operative Association held a great meeting on Monday . The Reverend Dr . M'Neile , who presided , addressed the meeting at considerable length , and expressed a hope that England would not stultify herself in the eyes of the civilized ¦ world by allowing the talk of a bravo to end in the conduct of a ninny ; for if her conduct were now hesitating or faltering—if she refuHed to take decisive measures in reference to the Popish hierarchy , she would give proof that all her lute talk had been no better than blustering and bravado . Lord Camoys , Roman Catholic nobleman , has written to the Times , intimating his dissent from the address presented recently to Cardinal Wiseman by hi . s fellowroligioni 8 ts . His lordship reserves his explicit Btatement of his views for " his place in Parliament . "
A public meeting of tho CongrcgutionuliHts and Baptists of Leeds was held in the Must Parade chapel , on Thursday week , for the purpose of considering the propriety « f expressing their sentiments on tho recent act of the Pope . Mr . Edward Dairies was culled to the chuir . Iteaolutions were passed declaring attachment to the principles of tho Reformation , and in favour of that civil and religious equality for which Nonconformists have been struggling for three centuries . A Totter from Naples Hays , " We have an unusual number of English truvcllera this winter ; tho JetmitH uro
active amongst them . I hear of several attempts at conversion ; the proselytisra , however , is chiefly directed towards the ladies . " The Standard says that Mr . Sergeant Bellasis has been received into the Roman Catholic church . The French papers announce likewise the conversion to that church of the Reverend Mr . Laprimandaye , who has made his profession at Marseilles .

ANOTHER CATHOLIC MIRACLE . - The late story of the miraculous picture of the Virgin , at Rimini , whose eyes moved in various directions , has been completely thrown into the shade during the last few weeks by a picture representing " The Descent of Christ from the Cross , " at the Church of St . Saturnin , in the canton and arondissement of Apt , in the department of the Vaucluse . The alleged miracle consists in the flowing of blood from the picture . The Pouvoir publishes a letter , dated the 24 th ultimo , from the sub-prefect of Apt , M . Grave , in which that gentleman gives a minute account of the miracle , with all its attendant circumstances . According to his statement , the first witness of it was a girl of Saignon , named Rosette Tamisier , long noted for her piety . While engaged in prayer in the Chapel of Saint Saturnin , martyr and archbishop of Toulouse , she , on three different occasions , saw blood flow from the wounds in Christ ' s JxwLy-4 n ^ he- ^ Gtore—placed—^ bove ^ he —altar . Theauthorities having heard of the miracle , an investigation was made , when it was found to be perfectly correct . " The blood on the light side consisted , " says a lieutenant of gendarmerie , who was called in to report , " of eight drops , in the form of pearl 3 , of the size of a little pea ; on the right it formed a line of six centimetres in .
length , ending in a drop ; on the left hand and the left foot the blood was less abundant , but still sufficient to trace from the two points of two or three centimetres also terminating by a drop . " That no doubt might exist as to the reality of the prodigy , the lieutenant caused the upper part of the altar and the painting to be removed , and ascertained that it was absolutely impossible that the least thing could have penetrated the interior of the altar or behind the painting ; moreover , the wall behind the painting was covered with a cement perfectly intact in all parts . In consequence of this statement a still more strict investigation was made : —
" On the 20 th the sub-prefect , accompanied by M . Gullibert , juge d'instruction , and M . Jacques , substitute of the Procureur of the Republic , went to Saint Saturnin ; the Archbishop of Avignon had arrived on the previous evening . After paying hi 3 respects to the prelate , the sub-prefect went , in company with Dr . C . Bernard , an eminent physician of Apt , towards the church . As they were ascending the hill on which it is situated they heard the bell ring . ' This , ' say 3 the functionary , ' was the signal of the commencement of the manifestation of the prodigy . ' He was much vexed at it , as he was desirous of being in the chapel ' before the appearance cf the oozing of the blood . ' But they hurried on : a number of persons were assembled around the church . The cure the of the blood had
met him ; he announced that oozing commenced , but that he could not open the church until the arrival of the Archbishop . However , the sub-prefect insisted , and , at last , the cure let him in : he took with him Drs . Bernard and Clement . The high altar was lighted with "wax candles ; at one corner was Rosette Tamisier , kneeling in prayer , with her hands crossed , and her head leaning on the altar : she appeared completely absorbed in devotion . ' I ascended the table of the altar , ' says the sub-prefect , ' accompanied by Dr . Clement ; [ examined the wound by the light of a wax candle ; I ascertained that from those of the right hand , the two feet , and heart blood oozed . The drop of blood which was on the right hand visibly encreased ; it appealed to the end of the
me like a drop of blood , such as arises on finger , on being pricked by a sharp instrument , when the lower part is lightly pressed ; it was at the moment at which the drop of blood of the right hand was about to fall or flow , that I wiped it three several times with a piece of linen . Tho first two operations gave two very red stains of blood ; in the third the stain was clearer . After this operation the wound remained perfectly dry . 1 also wiped several times the two wounds on the feet , and I remarked that the drops were clearer , and the oozing less sensible . I did the same to the wound on the right side ; there were there a dozen drops of blood , which nearly formed the design of a heart . That of the middle presented the same phenomenon as that of the
right hand , and it wan of a . darkish colour . Those that were around resembled , on the contrary , the drops of the feet . I took uwuy the drop of the middle , and one or two on the right . At this moment the Archbishop entered the chapel . I accordingly left untouched the other drops of the wound on the side , and abstained from wiping the wound on the left hand , from which no blood hud oozed . I descended from the altar . The Archbishop , followed by u numerous body of the clergy , knelt at the foot of the ultar . and , after u short prayer , exuinined the drops of blood which I had left at the wound of the heart , und
he wiped them with a piece of linen . This piece of linen and mine were covered in all with about thirty drops of blood ; und they were exhibited to tho curiosity of tho population , who filled the church . The clergy and a body of young girls sang hymns ; and we waited in expectation of a new oozing , but none came . The girl Rosette Tamisier , who still rcmuined absorbed in prayer , was asked severul time » if the blood would flow again . A first , time nhe did not answer ; a second , nho said , she did not know ; a third , that she did not believe it would . After thi « last reply , ubout an hour after the arrival of
