Renunciation Of Popery.-A Mr. Brown from France, who has for two years officiated as a Roman Catholic priest at Richmond, has lately resigned the priestly office, giving the following among others as his reasons: "I cannot keep from avowing that my principles, in regard to the temporal power of the Pope, and in many other respects, are not in harmony with the principles of the Church of Rome.
