Among the prominent persons mentioned as taking part in the meetings under the direction of the Evangelical Alli- , ance at Freemason's Hall, we notice the Hon. W. Ashley, Rev. Dr. Steane t Baptist Noel, Archdeacon Elmhurst, the Bishop of Huron, I Lord Radstock, Rev. Dr. Hamilton, Sir Morton Peto, Rev. T. R. Berks, Rev. Dr. Waddington, Rev. Dr. Knox,, of Belfast, Rev.

A. MelVlillan said :—." What more beau- 1 tiful pictureis there of' the Reformation in Eagland than that of?the aged Latircter, who would.remaihso long on his knees in earnest prayer for the nation generally, and especially for the. Princess Elizabeth, that ha needed to be lifted to his feet? And who can tell. how much of the blessing our fathers enjoyed was attributable to such prayers? Shall we not pray this morning, for the cessation of war, that greater "scourge than either famine or pestilence? We thinletc)-daY of the most recent. ohapfer in the history of nations, a chapter not yet _completed, and surely it •is the saddest. I•Avotild call upon ministers, upon parents, upon all who are interested in the training of the yeung, to tear away the false halo of glory with which the monster has-been, decked, and to`let the young know what-war really is." On Evangelical Union, Rev. - Mr. Pesiniefeather said:—" This is what the Eyangelical Alliance in instituting these meetings, seeks to exhibit. That....wer are one in Jens. ..The devil is.endeavoring with ten fold' energy to break up the unity of the church. He cannot sever us from Christ, but he may sever us from one, another." The Christiatr, Work says :—" The week of prayer appointed for the first days of the New Year was celebrated as usual by prayer meetings in many . parts of the - city of Louden, and the other cities and towns of England. The principal meeting, at Freemasons' Hall, which was attended by a large number was addressed bylvell-known ministers and lay men of different _churches, and the feeling pervading:it was excellent.'' t But the -most remarkable and hopefulof the meetings was that,held on Monday evening, at Mr. Spurgeon's Tabernacle. The. Okiriatian World ,describes it as," The;greatest prayer meeting, strictly so called, ever heldin Eng- • land, or perhaps in the world, before—at all events under a roof. Long ere the hot& for the public service' to begin, the interest Of the occasion manifested itself in a throng at the gates;` and admission hid scarcely been' gained, before, the spacious building wasfairly filled, and the course of a brief space more it was crowded from floor to ceiling by peoPle, of all orders of society. Several addresses were delivered, marked by •unusual •appro priateness and power; but these were felt to be feeble and ineffective, ,compared with the 'strong crying and tears,' that may'be said to have been the character of the . prayers Fa' one and all of the ministers and brethred who presented the confessions‘and_ , 'is of the ,inpl ' eto the ,throne Withilut , liven , pasaion, it, It the speaks , emed to possess power, move g d melting the hi dreds, so th 'lt ey cried out in of their fe ;or' sobbed wi, t At one per " i ollowing a most tial and dev tflaonfession of the ministers an then of people, tl thence seemed to be under th,.. ..,1 of contrition to a .logree that was painful to witness, till one g., .1 out the hymn,' There is a fountain filled with blood,' which was sung in away that can never be forgotten by any that heard it. After several hours it was deemed expedient to close the Service ; but such was the excitement even then, that a meeting for, inquirers was announced to be held in one of the rooms below. Thither numbers went, and we have been told that 'showers.of blessin_g: tib'scendesi qpon the seeking company. Manifound peace in be lieving, and went home rejoicing in Ged their Saviour. —Similar meetings, on a much smaller scale, have - been held at several other Baptist, chapels of-tbe.inetronolis, thia week. Toward the 'elose; Mr;eSpurgebn; who hlin self' was deeply affected throughout, besought the members of the congregations present to continue in their earnest supplications to Al mighty God for a real revival which should more than exceed their most sanguine antici pations." PORGRESIS OF rirssYnnitCa 11:01tIAN- ISM IN ENGLAND AND SCOTLAND. A shop has been opened in Norwich, says the Bury Post, for the, ' sale of all—sorts of things required for setting - up monasteries— viz., vestments, church furniturp, statuettes, crucifixes rosaries, and crosses, incense at 6s. per lb., How muck patronage the pra pribtor is likely to'get, remains'to be proved : but the fact of such an establi.shhient being opened would indicate that ecclesiastical affairs in Norwich must be "tending Rome ward." The Protestant Alliance have published a very full statistical table' showing the progress of Romanism in England andtrScotland for the last fifteen years, which gives the.follow ing results ;--increase in the number of priests 583 ; of chnrches and chapels, 449 ;''of mon asteries, 41; of convents, 48 ; of _colleges, 1. In 1850 there, were no bishops, now there are 21. The greatest'increase has been in London and Liverpool. The totals for this year are : —priests and bishops, .1521 ;' churches and chapels, 1132 ; monasteries, 58 ; convents, 201; collegei. 21. Not very formidable figures certainly, unless those of the Convents and monasteries may be thus regarded. • These places should`by law be open to official in spection at any time the government thought it expedient. RICHARD WEAVER IN SOOTLAND.--Rich ard Weaver has been laboring very success fully in Scotland for some months. In. Glas gow alone i said , that about five hundred souls were converted under his preaching. In Aberdeen and "other planes lie had large meetings,' and souls Were awakened.. He was last in Edinburgh, where'lie is very highly esteemed by Christians of all ranks. He preached three Sabbaths there in., the Free Church Assembly Hall, and on every evening ,of the; week in different churches throfighOut the city. :He is, without excep tion, the most popular ;preacher that visits Edinburgh.„ Hismeetings are crowded to overflow, whether they "be day-meetings for the rich, or evening-meetings for the working people. On a Tuesday, at half-past two o'clock, he preached in Dr. Candlish's, church to a crowd ed audience of 'about 1500, chiefly of the higher Class ; and his discourse was so_ good, appropriate, and affecting, that a, deep im pression was produced, and not a-few were in tears... We were greatly delighted that he was so much helped, that he _preached with a deference,' refinement, pathos, and effectiveness, which could hardly have been surpassed ) even by a person ofliberal edu cation. There'Vere inquirers every night waiting to be :specially addressed- after - the great -meeting was dismissed. The workers in Ed inburgh held a scries of meetings after lie had left:tip ,city, to - '4gatherin. the - Aarvest, and' tlieY report that many in, have been deeply awakened, and ,not, a lew lopefully Converted to God.

Sth, has ,been making a very great stir in that part of the Roman Catholic world especially, which, has been cherishing the hope that Popery in the nineteenth century, whould show itself capable of progress and enlightenment, or who have been trying to. -create the impression that Rome had actually" partaken of the liberal spirit of the age, arid was no longer the persecuting intolerant monster of the sixteenth century. Those who believed that she is still the old scarlet whore, thirsting as of old, for the blood of the saints; and lacking but the power to wad forth anew her Alvas and her Guises, ready to myelin fresh dragonnades and auto da-fes, and to strike new medals and-=order new Te Deums over modern St. Barthbliamews r saw nothing very surprisino- 6 in the Enyclical, except a .want of that worldly wisdom and keen sense of propriety as to time and4slace, which have generally been the glory , and safety of the policy of the Vatican, hitherto. We give below extracts from the doeument shbWing to what an extent the Papacy in ,the person, of Pius IX, has committed itself against the civilization and political progress of our times ^ •_ The Pope speaks o f certain " false and per -verse ophoons, the more detestablee-As ;they especially tend to shackle and turn aside the salutary force that the Catholic Church by the e x ample of her Diyine AUther, and: His Oider, ought freely to exercise th'et end of time, not only with, regard. to-each indi- Vidrial Man but with regard to nationi, pee ,ples, : and their rulers, and to;- destroy, that agreement and concord between the priest 'hood -and-the .Ckoveinsicreticir , . existed for the happiness .and secur4y,of re , lieous and civil sticidt - Af'.".‘;.?P. opinions; fib then goes into an emimeration of thee to the nunleilWeighty. *tinquote only the more important and chaamteristic specifications.

Other opinions which :are to be •anatherna tized, are " that the: Church can decide noth— ing which maL bind the consciences of the` faithfairra Ordir tde rthiwg.; that the laW of the Church does not demand that violations of sacred-laws should be punished by temporal penalties." Neither can the Pope Passover in silence the ;audacity. of.: those : wbo, insulting,sound ,dOc trines, assert that "the judgments and de crees of, the Holy i.t.Spe., % whose object is de dared to concern the ,general welfare of, the Church, W `rights, and.its . discipline; do .eot claim. the: acquiescence and obedience under: pain of sin and loss of the Catholic prdfessien, if they. do not treat 'of.'"the ddgmas of faith and manners." _ He charges' the faithful hierarc,hy eVery 'where "not to omit to .teach ' that the roial power has-been established not only-to exer cise the•government ofjhe world, but above all for the pxoteptionoT the Church (St. Le,nt., Epist., 156;41. 125,): kiad.tbat there, is noth ing more profitable and more glorious for the sovereigns of- states and kings than to"leave the Catholic Church to exercise its laws 'and not to permit any to attack its liberty ; as our mist' Wise and courageous predecessor, St. Felix, wrote to'tlie Emperor Zenon.'

One of the " Gallican liberties" is a law of the First Napoleon forbiding the publica tion of any bull, brief; or- other writing from Rome, without the sanction, of the Govetria ruent. The GovernMent, exeitieing its con ceded right as a Catholic State,rind naturally unwilling to authorize - the formal publicatidn of a reprimand directed , against itself, refused permission to the priests to . publish it. On New Year'sdaY, while' the Emperor was speaking words of, peace to the Pope's am- , bassador, hi;s Minister of Public Instructicqi, M. Baroche i was drawirig up, the circular, dated lst..Tannary, enjoining.the. bishops not to print the letter, or to quote it in their. charges, and to, take care that their clergy make no remarks about it which might lead to a bad construction..

The refusal to authorize the reading of the Encyclical created, intense feeling among the blind adherents of the Pope in France. Sonic protested, but ,the Cardinal Archbishop of Besancon and the Bishop of Moulins set the. Imperial - Prohibition Opanly at defiance, arid, deliberately 'read , the Encyclical froin. the pulpit of their cathedrals. The Ei!kiperor was in earnest, and the disobedientbishops were put under legal process. By theYarrival of the China, last week, with Europerin news to the 11th instant, we learn that "thh Paris Moniteur publishes the official decrees,\ which declare the Bishop of Moulins, and th- Car-, dinal Archbishop of .

An Italian correspondent quoted in the Weekly Review of February 4th, says :, • " The difficulties which,the Encyclical=s has created for the consciences Of the French bishops - have given rise t 6 many rumors here, which, however probablei'T have, not been able to trace to any assured source.

All who hive assumed a hostile attitude to it in the Fate controversy are comprehended under the one distinctive appellation of Voltairian, a com pliment no doubt intended principally for Fiance, and more than any others are at tacked those who call themselves or who are called the• Liberal Catholics." A leader in the Review of February 11th has the following language :—" It is hardly too. much to say that Napoleon 111, in his relating to the Encyclical, has gone further, in word, and in deed,, in opposition to the Papacy than Henry VIII." PROGRESS—PRIESTLY OPPOSITION _FRITS TRATED.—One of the last -points reached by regular evangelizing a g encies , is Bergamo ; an imporiant town in .Lombardy, northeast of Milan.. _The, opening service, was set down Decemberfor ll. liergamio is one of the heaclquarterOf .the priestly; reactionary-par ty, infaMoin throhirhout Italy for the igno,, rant fanaticism of its bishop, and the num ber and profligacy of its':cicrgy.. No wonder, then, that on the appearance of the pro , gramme a furious oppositi o n w as excited. ITALY Threatening letters were sent anonymously to the evangelist; appeal was made to• the Prefect to prohibit the service, every mode of arguinent, honest and dishonest, was tried with the proprietor of the hall, to:induce him to rescind the contract. When all--proVed vain z incendiary discourses •were deliver= ed in the parish churches,in r which' it was by no means' obscurely ated that to drive out, these heretical "Protestants, , even - by violence; would be a. grateful - sacriflCe to the Immaculate Virgin, long the central di vinity in : Rome's Pantheon.
