Mr. 111 , Gliee, in a communication to the Standard this evening,

confesses that the letter ascrifled to the Pope, which excited the ladies so vehemently at Exeter Hall, is an " ingenious device " which " his learned friend " resorted to for the purpose of " bringing most important truths before the Protestants of this empire." We gather from the Standard that a Reverend Mr. Todd, of Trinity College, Dublin, is the author of the " ingenious device ;" which the mortified Standard more truly characterizes as a forgery " dull and clumsy in execution." The Standard also says, that it likes neither 4, forgery in jest nor poison in jest ;" what then does it think of the great Protestant Prophet who uses poisoned weapons against his foes, and then extols the inge- nuity of the mode of attack ?
