Anti-Catholic Procee dings . - ~ The clergy of London and of several &ther dioceses , the synod of Glasgow , aiid a few civil corporations , have followed the example of Oxford in petitioning parliament against the Catholic Claims . The Baptist Dissenters also have in their last magazine
( for April ) declared themselves strongiy on the side of intolerance . ( See the current Number of The Christian Hejbrmer . ) This ill comports with the boast which they sometimes make of having been always foremost in the cause of religious liberty . One of the ministers of the Tabernacle
also , Mr . John Hyatt , has warned the crowd in that place of the danger of their beingburned in Smithfield , and exhorted them to sign petitions against the Catholics with boiii hands : this is the more extraordinary , as the senior minister of the chapel , Mr . Wilks , has , we believe , from the same pulpit ,
pleaded the right of the Catholics to full religious liberty . A long string of wordy resolutions against the Catholics has been published by a knot of people calling itself " The Protestant Union : " how many , and who the members are , we know not 5 only the name of the chairman is given ,
Stephen Cattley ^ who , we are bound to believe , is some deep theologian . One of the Resolutions * is , in fact , a lamentation " that the Prince Regent is at present embarrassed with some counsellors , whose declared opinions encourage the claims of the Roman Catholics , keep alive their discontent , Ate /'
But the most extraordinary proceedings are those adopted at a publjp meeting at Exeter , where , on the motion of the Rev . Prebendary Dennis , it was agreed , in the said Prebendary ' s phrase , to " rap the knuckles" of the administration for having
at the clone of the last parliament " smuggled up" an Act to extend the liberties of the Roman Catholics , and also to petition the Convocation ^ who , said the Prebendary , a have undoubtedly the power of a negative on the measure . " Our reacfers need
not to be told that the Convocation has no existence , that it assembles , indeed , pro forma , whenever parliament is called together after a dissolution , ( and we believe a prorogation , ) but that it cannot and dares not act . The Times newspaper suggests that Mr . Prebendary Dennis is in a state of
mind which requires his friends to look after him ; however this may be , it appears to us that he and his followers have put themselves in the power of the Attorney-General . A more flagrant defiance of the legislature than this was never contemp lated by Cobbett ' s « Blankettetfrs . " We insert as a curiosity , a copy of Mr . Pier
