United Press Association—By Electric Telegraph—Copyright.
LONDON, July 26. Three hundred Scottish petitions against the Accession Declaration. Bill have reached the House of Commons, also a petition from 2500 Canadians, in favour of the existing declaration. The Bishop of Manchester, presiding at a crowded meeting iu support of tho maintenance of the Protestant succession, declared that he was aware that tho terms of' the declaration were offensive to a large number of the King's subjects, but there were occa~ sions when it was the truest charity to speak plainly. The declaration in its present form was a real bulwark against the horror of civil and religious war.
Dr Clifford, in a letter, .remarks that the Bishop of Chichester gets near what is wanted in suggesting that the declaration shall assert that tho.Popo has no jurisdiction in England.
