The Pope has recently filled up several bishoprics in
England in accordance with his decree of the 29th of
September last, establishing the Roman hierarchy in
Great Britain. They are as follows:—Dr. Grant, of the
English College, Rome, who is now Bishop of Southwark;
Dr. Errington, who is advanced to the see of Plymouth;
Mr. Turner, promoted to that of Salford; Mr. J.
Browne, of Sedgewick Park, who goes to Shrewsbury;
and Mr. Burgess, named to Clifton, vice Dr. Hendren,
promoted to Nottingham.

The Pope has issued from the printing press of the
Royal Apostolical Chamber an appeal to the piety and
charity of the Italians in England, in the shape of a
project to build "A Spacious Church in the centre of
London, in a fine position in one of the most majestic
streets in the city, principally for the use of the
Italians, and thence of other foreigners, as well as of
the natives." It appears that the site of the new
church is to cost 30,000 scudi, or £6000 sterling, and
the faithful of all ranks and conditions are stimulated
to contribute by the grant of an indulgence of a hundred
days in exchange for the smallest donation. The church
will be governed "by a congregation of Italian secular
priests founded at Rome, that the Roman spirit may
influence the same." It will be provided with preachers
and confessors, will be free from any payment for
admission, and connected with schools and a residence
for the clergy. "The holiness of our Lord Pope Pius
IX.," so runs the document, "commends this most
interesting work to the care of the Most Rev. Cardinal
Wiseman, Archbishop of Westminster Ordinary of
London," who in his turn commends it "to the charity of
Italian believers and to the zeal of the bishops of Italy,"
—and whose commission, doubtless, extends as far as it
can be urged in every direction. Subscriptions, or
rather "alms and donations of every kind," are received
in Rome by several notable personages; amongst whom
we find the names of the Prince and Princess Doria
Pamphili, the rector of the church of the Holy Saviour
in the waves at the Sistine bridge, and other "representatives
of the Holy Chair." In addition to the "appeal,"
there is a "notification" from Ferdinand Minucci,
Archbishop of Florence, ordering a subscription in that
diocese towards the building of the embryo church of
St. Peter,—the Florentine archbishop being stimulated
by the "sweet hope that the day is not far distant when
the unity of belief will be re-established in that island,
which before the fatal schism was termed the Island of
the Saints,"—this figure of speech being meant to
characterise England. The notification contains the terms
of the "indulgence," as follows:—"His Holiness Pius
IX., at the request of certain English Catholics, has
deigned lately to grant an indulgence of a hundred days
to whosoever may recite three Ave Marias, with, after
each, the invocation Auxilium Christianorum ora pro
nobis, and plenary indulgence for one day at their own
choice to whosoever shall have recited them for one
entire month, provided that, having confessed and
communicated, he shall pray particularly for the Catholic
Church of England."

The Diocesan Synod convened by the Bishop of
Exeter has finished its sittings. The Dean and some of
the Chapter declined to attend, but of the thirty-two
rural deaneries only two refused to send delegates.
There were present seventeen dignitaries, canons and
prebendaries, seven officials, twenty-nine out of thirty-two
rural deans, and fifty-eight representatives of the
rural deaneries; total, one hundred and eleven diocesan
ecclesiastics. The proceedings began on the 25th of June,
in the chapter-house. After special prayers, the bishop
delivered his address; an historical vindication of
diocesan synods, the legitimate means of restoring and
vindicating the rights of the inferior clergy. After the
address, were read those declarations of faith with
regard to baptism, &c., the making of which was the
ostensible reason put forward after the Gorham decision
for assembling the synod. The declarations had
been touched and retouched in details more than once,
and suggestions were made in the synod for further
amendments. A declaration that the appointment of a
see of Plymouth by the Pope "is schismatical and void
—setting up altar against altar in our diocese, and
usurping the primacy of England"—was unanimously
adopted. On the 26th, the declaration on baptism, as
finally arranged, was "unanimously adopted." The
subsequent proceedings were chiefly discussions on the
subjects of education and religious catechising, as to
which resolutions were adopted. On the 28th, the
synod was dissolved.

The Bishop of Exeter has refused to permit a
clergyman to officiate within the diocese, on the ground of
his non-conformity with the bishop's doctrine of
Baptismal Regeneration. A short time since, the Rev. R.
Malone, the incumbent of Christ Church, in Plymouth,
accepted an appointment in London. The Rev. Mr.
Gray, of London was appointed his successor, and
presented himself to the Bishop of Exeter to be licensed,
when he was subjected to a close examination on the
above point, the result of which was, that the bishop
refused his admission into the diocese. This occurred
too late on Saturday to be communicated in time to the
churchwardens of Christ Church, so that when the
people came to church on Sunday morning, no clergyman
being found who could do duty, the church
