On the same day is to be held, at Covent Garden Theatre, " an aggregate meeting of Protestants of all denominations, to protest against the endowment of Popeay." 111 an adver- tisement of this day's date, the Central Committee, of which Sir Culling Eardley Smith is Chairman, announce that, anticipating a general election, and the possible passing of the bill this session, they shall take steps to agitate for its repeal next session; but they need funds.
