PROTESTANT SYMPATHY.

The following is from the London, (Eng.,) Church Herald, a Protestant journal :— " We have have only just seen the full text of tire -Pope's recent Allocution. The paragraph with which it concludes is so touching in its tone of desolation, so child-like in its simple trust, and yet so dignified in the evident, though outspoken, consciousness of right which pervades it; that he would be a hard man that'eould read it unmoved,"

Having quoted the concluding sentences of his Holiness, our contemporary adds : " We would gladly, if it might be permitted to us, assure the Holy Father that there is one English Church newspaper which responds to the spirit of these vords ; which regards with a burning indignation the foul doings by which he has been deprived of his jusfc rights, in defiance of every principle of law, of honesty, and of statesmanship ; and which is not ashamed in ' Protestant England, 1 and in its character of an English Church journal, to offer to the Chief Bishop of the West the homage of veneration, and of the most respectful sympathy."
