From the strange conduct of the matey witness was indacel to watch him, as be thought he appeared to be visiting for wine person. About half past one o'clock witness saw the sentry mat the prisoner over the gat , s, and on reaching the ground the soldier endeavoured to conceal the priatner under his cloak. They proceeded under the erasers), near the commander-in-;hiers office, where they conversed together for alma three minutes. Witness ap proached th..in, and gsrs the prissier into custody. The sentry was placed in confinement. Wi'nest added, that the soldier was a very bad man, and ought to have been dis charged from the regiment. The sentry had conducted him self very suspicinu.ly latterly, and when on duty had kept the rites open after they ought to Lava Atha closed. The prisoner said he was going to Hill's Hotel when he was taken into custody. The prisoner in defence said be had only been in London a week, and this morning be was looking in at the pales when the sentry asked hint what he wanted. He told him he waisted to go to Chelsea, and hiked him if he could go through the Park. The soldier said he could if he liked to climb over. Witness then climbed over, but the soldier did sot assist him. Us was a gentleman, end he could assure hie worship that he had bees drinking, or else he would not hare climbed neet tate pot. Corporal Wake was quite certain that the sentry sedated the prisoner to climb over the gat: s. Mr. Heavy said It was not nasal for persons to climb over the gates, and he should reseed the prisoner to giro him e opportunity of calling witnesses as to his charsathr. te Scrrosn CHILD Mu'Dzu.—This Morning Mr. K.

The body was found in the privy of Mr. Donovan's lame la Quetu.strest, at which place Slalom, bad been a servant. She denied all knowledge of the child when at the police court, but it wee found that she had recently been delivered of an Wont, Mr. Bennet, surgeon at the workbox's of St. Giles'., said he was of opinion that the child bad been born some eight or nine days. He had made the examination, and believes that the child had breathed. He believed that if the child had been properly attended to It would have lived. The witness added that the woman had made a confession that the child belonged to her, and that it had been tin the water-closet some days. The jury, la the absence of any patios evidence, nturced an open verdict, " That the child wee found in a privy, bat whether born alive or not there is no evidence to show." The secon case wu on the body of a male child, found hie privy in a court in Church-lute. Mr. Bennet said a portion of the bead was knocked la, and he attributed death to violence.

Wakley held an inquest at the Prise* of Wales, Sadeley-etreet , Islington, on Snob, aged 63, the wife of ThomasJohason, as oil soldier, who lately followed the trade of shoemaking. The case was reported in yearns , dty's Erpreu, under the head of "Clerkenwell Police." The only new evidence was that of Elizabeth Batty, a school. mistress, occupying the aputment adjoining deceased's, who deposed that about twelve o'clock on Saturday night she heard a dreadful noise io her room, but of which she took no notice, as deceased and her husband were always quarreling. The noise resembled that created by the upsetting of asps and MUNI and of the furniture. She heard deeemect's husband exclaim, You old I'll do for ." After which she heard • heavy fall on the floor. AU was then silent. In the morning witness was make by the police, who ached her if she knew anything of the murder ? She replied* the negative, and then went to see deceased.— Sarah Harris stated that she had frequently heard deceased and her husband quarrelling, and they both were addicted to drunkenness. The jury deliberated a short time, and re tumid a verdict of teaulaughter against the husband, whose committal to Newgate the oorocar handed to the police. Deceased and her husband had been married 43 years, and lived in the neighbourhood upwards of 20 years, during which time the husband rendered himself notorious for his brutal treatment of deceased. FATAL AMIDLNT.— On Saturday aLernoon a most unfortuasta and fatal accident happened at Grays Thar rock. A boat, containing sine individuals, viz., two water men, two women, and five children, were being rowed over the river; a coal brig going down the river unfortunately ran them down, and the whole party met a watery grave. The names at jresent are unknown. It issupposed to have happened in consequence of the weather having been eo foggy that they were upon them before they had the of gettiog out of the way Supnumnox IN THE NINETEENTH CENTIII7. Two apparently respectable women applied at the slurry of • public establishment yesterday (Thursday) to be per mitted to place the hand of the man who had been drowned= the previous day on the knee of one of the women as • cars for the King's evil, with which it appears she was afflicted.

PAPAL ENCROACHMENTS. REVIVAL OF CONVOCATION. After the report of the meeting on the above sub ject, held ',shadily at the Freemason's-hall, published in that day's Ezpress. was despa•ched, Mr. D. PERCEVAL rope to nalve the presentation of tut wirer to her Majesty, praying for a eonvmation. He said that he had long been merit:iced of the necessity of convoca tion, and present moment. They were justified in calling upon has hisieety for that cor.vmation, as he ci.uld show by reading en extract from the coronation service. (The speaker here read some extracts from the setonation service.) He cottendul Irom this that her hia• Joey had fall pArer to ordain a (*avocation, and that if she did so it was until the duty of her ministers to obey her. (Hear, hear.) Bet in eonsen'ing to move this adanve he begged especially to guard himself from any intention of making a distinction b-twcen the church of 4ogland and Ireland. (Hear.) He considend that the churches of England end Ireland were merely branches of the same church, end he mold not for one consent to any separstim of them or their interests. (Hear, bear.) 8a far he would speak as to the capacity in which they were to address the sovertta. What they were about to ask her was to cr., yoke the clergy and laity at Canterbury or Yo.k, and he would not deceive his hearers so far as to express • hope that a dozen meetings like the present would 'mom pas.. that object. The subjte: was new to the great majority of the people. Ore la:ge a cuon of the church was abso lutely hostile, and the evangelical members wera only indifferently disposed towards P. It would, therefore, I I require time for maturity, out as the cause was good, he , I het no doubt of its ultimata success. But the fact of --- there bang such iiiri.lnts in the church E.gland, wu is itself the best •indication of a synod. Mr. Pereyral, after a Ur, more obeereatione which were repeatedly inter raped by toe impatience of the meeting, conclud.d by moving the addroe. The - Bee. BIBER, in seconding the motion, also ex . pressed his cor.viction in'st the questiols of cantr.:csiion wet ...sat which we u:1 not be aat l. d either to day or to-morrow ; but the present meeting would answer the parpose of feeling the poise of the laity, and therefore he rejdc d that It bed been cannoned. lie rejoited that an amendment was to be proposed on the motion for an ad dress, ea he felt that the great necessity ot the question was, that it stould be discuued. lie WSJ not with trove who disputed the Qttell'al supremacy, but he woe not preored to see the church delivered over to the SPCIII&I' power, hour el hand and foot, and lilt to the tender innies of a prime minister, who, whatever else he one,: be, was certainly noe the Lord's annointed. (Loud cheers end laughter.) That minister was avowedly the minister of the democracy, combining every awed shit had ever bier: thought or, and same that tied a been thought or, but all calling thenliclves protesiante. (Caters.) Bet he 'woad not sympathise with any as protestor!, who were not members of the church of Et:eland. He proceeded to contend that the constitution of the present court of spinal on ecclesisiticel mitten materially diff, red from that of the high court of delegates, which it Wipe re.ded. If a churchman minded, it was by accident, and i: a bishop were present, though he might form an opinion he had no voice In the datia.un. This was a cleat turning over of tie spiritual to the temporal power. It there were a cone oca non to which all marten connected with the government of the church were referred, not only would this anomaly be remedied, bat bishop wield no longer be appointed as %ivy were now by the temporal an Inirity, and we emend not see as we did bishops appointed from private considerate's or politicil motives. It was notorious that there were blebope who would never tan been relied to the episcopal dignity if tiny hed not happened to be related to a minister of nate, or served the chinicer at elections, or stood forward as the champions of the lionadim end latitudinarianism of the age. (Loud cheers.) If they could prove that is legislation, and 111 the appointment of the rulers of the church, the principle of ruling the spirituel:ties of the church by spiritual persons had been de; cried from, had they not • right to call for the restoration of that power of sell government which the churn" formerly possessed, and which was necessary for its efficiency? Any law or system of legislation which violated conscience would meet with contempt. It was their duty to make an effort to dinner the church from the scandal unite which it leboure.t. Ten wee only to be done by returning to sycodicai action. Tun, and not till then, would they get better bishops and more bishops, and the church he made effective for its duties and a blueing to the country. The rev. gentleman then referred to the hist my of the Christian church in Rome from the earliest ages to show that all questions relating to church matters were invariably referred to a synod of eceleaisstics, whose decisions were condensed, and then carried into effect. It was the same in the:Anglo-Saxon church; on all spiritual matters spirituel authorities were consulted, as at the synod of Whitby, when the dispute bet a ern the eastern and western rite was settled. No decree, however, was allowed to take effect weird the royal &aunt was given to it. This was what he contended for. Hs Slid not propose to take away from the crown the power to appoint bisoope, or to do any other act which, as the heart of the chureit it might be called upon to do, but he would surround the sovereign with an ecclesiastical council, whose duty it should bs to advise her upon all ecclesiastical matters and upon the distribution of church p tronsge and the Waal( up of vacant aces. Be sew no reason why tha Queen did not hove a spiritual as well as a poll. tint ministry. (" Hear," onill • laugh.) He claimed for the church which gave toleration to all, and allowed even the anti state church &nonillion to organize itself, the same freedom and the same privileges. (Hear.) Civil and reli gie wes liberty was • great thing ; but let all share it alike. (Hsu ) He appealed to them on the ground of their love of their church, of liberty, and of country, and on the ground, also of their loyalty to the crown, to support the present movement—(hear, ho r)—and to emancipate the Clit en from those fetters in which she was so fast bound that she could not carry out her coronction oath. (Chute) By the duty they owed to their church, to Unm et:Tee, their children, and chadren's children, he implored them to assist in effecting an object which would restore the church to that position which, as a christian church, she ought to weepy—vie., one body animated by one spirit. (Hear, hear). The Rev. J. E. COX. rose to move the amendment, pubtiehed in Monday's Express. He denied that the papal aggression was attributable to the crippled stale el the amnia of England. He affirmed that it was mainly attributable to the Oxford movement. (" Hear, hear," and cheers.) The extreme opinions put forth in that movement had misled the Bishop of Rome, and had led him to believe that the people of England were again ready to prostrate themselves wet his feet. (Hear, bear.) Again, the accession of so mru.y of toe clergy, the result of Oxtail teaching, had given him encouragement, and it was increased by 06 seeing in the church of Ragland doctrines preached which very nearly approached to Rome. (Hear, hear.) He would recommend the meeting to study what Dr. Townsend, canon of Durham, had said on the pretensions of the papacy before they took any step in that direction. That 1 d divine went to Rome for the express purpose of ascertaining whether divisions in the Christian church might not be put an end to. Ile consulted also the Archbishop of Paris, and he had gathered from both ttat popery would not bate one hair's breadth of its pretensions. (Hear, hear.) The Pope Cully expected that all Enteaud would be under his feet. (Cheer, and some cries of " Quenon.") Tits CHAIRMAN interposed to obtain • hearing for Mr. Coe. Mr. COX, in resuming, said that he was speaking strictly to the question, which was that papal aggression had led to the present crippled state of the church of England. The Pope said differently. He said that the clergy of the church of England were going over to him in • body, and that they would take the people with them. (Laughter.) Dr. Wiseman bad acted under 1 the same impression, and well he might when be found clergy of the church of Eastland forfeiting their vows against false doctrines and taking instructions m his house. He contended that there was no right of convocation integral in the British constitution, and in confirmation of this view ha referred them to "Fuller's Church History." (The learned gentleman here read an extract from the book in 'motion.) his would also refer them to " Lathbury's Hia• eery of Convocation.," which showed that they had been suppressed in consequence of their turbulence and divisions. They wanted so synods to teach them the true doctrine. Had they not their bibles? Whet more did they want then the inspired word of Clod? (Loud chums.) He repeated then that this aggression bad originated in Deiced not in Rome. (" No, no.") Yee, for it wee not until bbeNewatan had retuned from Rome that the Oxford Trees were tpublished. A convocation could not cure that evil. There was power enough in the church to maintain that the Pepe hail no jurisdiction in this realm of Bogland, but if they waited tor convocation, send left the decision of that question, and all points of difference, until that body was sieestablished, it would be long before the aggression of Ilene was repelled, or tranquillity motored in our own eleasek. (Hear, hear.) And he might add that those by who. Instrumentality that desirable result was delayed, would be themselves guilty of • greater schism than any that ewes sow the subject of their condemnation. (Hear.) He thanked the chairman for his courtesy, but regretted that he had not had an opportunity of speaking until the late hour, and the exhaustion consequent on remaining four hours in the heated atmosphere (of the room rendered it necessary to leave unsaid muck that he had desired to ad dress to the meeting. (Hear.) J. J. CUMMINS, Esq., seconded the resolution. He differed from the opinion and from almost every expression in the reeolatlon which had been submitted. With many of the truly protestant sentiments uttered, especially with thou of the chairman, he thoroughly and cordially agreed. But when he toured what he looked upon as the snake in the gram—when he found rhetoric and eloquence employed for the purpose of establishing • spiritual despotism, he felt there was something to nand up and oppose. (Hear, hese) He did not mean to say that he considered there was any improper motive in Wee who had called the mating together, but there was • principle they were cherishing, the dangerous tendency of which they were not aware of, and that it was he called • snake in the grass. They had not been told that the convocation now asked for was the same as had formerly existed, or how the power which was to regulate all thou spiritual mitten was to be constituted. But this he would say, that if such • power were established, it would impose upon them shackles as henyu those which the pipacyliani would bind them witt He had come there to argue against the revival of convocation as it formerly existed, but now they were told it was something else. (Hsu, hear.) He did not believe that the desire to put down Roman Catholic aggression was the real object of this demand for calling casvocetion, bat the estaeliehment of a spiritual domi nation in the Church of England was what was really aimed at. If we were to have a national church it must be an accord• ance with the coastitution, sod in ekat church the crown, the bishop', and the cler g y wore not to dictate to his what tollowe : he was to believe and what not—(bear, hear)—bat only the truth as he found it in the Word of God. He called upon them cot to agree to a resolution which sought to establish what wou:d be worse than a ear chamber. for it would beat tbe impress of epiritu 1 domination. (H•ar, hear ) The speaker quoted firma a work by Cep's', published in 1950. to the effect that the laws made by the clergy in ensvocatiro could not bind the levy, and as regards the clergy, tee powsr of convocation was very limited, and subject to the COSMO, of the crown. It could not pus ordinances against the common or statute law, the prerogative of the crow o, or the customs of the realm. The same work also stated that the latter days of the convocation were taken up in quarrelling with the tishops, and it wee a happy tb!ng when its rowers were suspended. He acid, in conclusion, that it instead of an address to the crown they were to determine upon op posing Romanising tendencies in their own churzh, the great oho :cts of protestantism would be more cut only achieved. Dr. BIBER shortly replied, amid much impaciette3 and interruptivn, and the amendw2ut having been pot to show of hands was rePcted by a large majors y. The original motion for au address was then put and carried amid laud cheerier. ~Mr. BELL 103yed, end Mr. Prebendary CLARKE se conded, an address of eims:ar import to the Primate and Bishop., which wu als - J carried unanimously, ihanks were thm voted to the Chairman, Ana the pro mediae t,riwinatLd. MEETING AT SOUTHWARK. A public meeting of the inhabitants of the bormigh of Southwark was held yesterday at the Town Hall, at 11 for 12 o'clock, pursuant to a requisition to the High Bailiff. airy numerously and reepeetablv Mimed by electors and householders of the borates, to take int* consideration the propriety of memorialising the Queen, and to petition per. lament against the recent aggression of the Pope of Rome. Precisely at 12 o'clock Wm. PRITCHARD. E.q., the High Siditiff, assumed the chair, and s .id ha had called the present meeting by are guidtion signed by a larger number of the inhabitants of toe borough than any he had tv,r received since Le had been in office. But he was not surprised a: the great sad strong interest etched by the disown:, of th e question, for all must feel its importance, both in a rip. glass and a pilitical point of view. It might be thought strange that a large and influential censtituency of the metropolis like that had cot been more early in the field to express their opini.n on so important • matter, the mute especially as it happened to term a particular portion of that aggression which troy had now met sa properly to resist, it being fa Southwark that the attempt at territorial aggrestion had been first made. But it was probable tlict while the question wee being eauvassed through the country, Southwark might look on with every interest, tied yet wish to wait a while to Join the demonstration, prov:ded the feeling of the cenutty was manifested before the meeting of parliament. Ile Joined with them in most grateful thanks to Provider es, and to the efforts of our i ancestors, for the position this country bait held for the last 300 years is civil and religious liberty. Ihe opinion of S.r Edward Sugdeu deserved their anxious attention. lle did Lot pashas to advocate either side in this matter, for his daty there was impartiality, and Se hoped that their deli heretical would end in the expression of an opinion which would have the weight in the community to which tee deelareelsentiments of that borough were entitled. (Hear.) Mr. APSLEIr PELLATT read and prspoemi the first resolution, which repealed the opinion of the meeting that the ball of the Pope, by which he laid parcelled out this kingdom into diocese!, to be governed by a - so-celled Arch , bi,hop of Westminster and other p ipish bishops, was an Insolent attack on the civil and religious liberties of the country, and en invasion of the rights of the throe', which ougc.t to be met with the most unyielditg opposition. Mr. W. VICKERS, in secouding the resolution, assort I the meeting that be had no enmity towards Roman catholic', but Met, on the contrary, he and his family were connected with persons of that religion. Many of them were of hitt probity, end of publics men he had oniy to men. Lion the Duke of Nurtoik, lard Beaumont, arid Lord CM:Jill. (Hear, hear.) But the lila, W:A come when catholic aggres- Won must be resisted, or we should be deprived of our civil and religious liberty. The catholic were the avowed enemies of the Bible. (Cheers.) In atranslationot the Scriptures, pub. in Dahlia in 11318_, there was an annotation that the translation used by the English church deserved to D 3 ab horred to the depths of hell. Roman ea:holiest would Lot allow the circulation of the Holy Scriptures. tams. that would give light. Popery and the Bible could out ca.exist, and it was for the country to (acids for itself which it would have. The CHAIRMAN here announced that he had a letter from one of their representatives, dated Paris, Jan. 12, ad• (heaved to hie lama(' Dr. Bleck. lie react the lettcr as "I got your letter last night. I wish I had had earlier Information of the intended meeting in Southwark, for I would have arranged our departure so a, to be in London in time for it. I should much lake to hear the.ooitions of lay anathemas, and to express to them my opinion on the sub ject of papal aggression. For the latter purpose I write the following short statement of my opinion., which (if you receive it in time) I wi-h you would cause to be read to the meetirg; I consider the act of Pius IX. in bestoeing English territorial titles on Dr. Wiseman, to be a foolish and impudent proceeding. But however much I may blame the act, I commit approve of the con•umely and at,use which is consequence of it has been cast upon our Roman catholic fellow-subjects and their religion, nor could 1 on account of it consent in any way to depart from that wise policy which during the last five-and twenty years has been pursued with mar. to Ireland. Therefore, in tic next 'colon of p alio moot, if there should be proposed any bill of poins and penalties against It num catholic', or any other measure in opposition to the principles of religious liberty and equelty, L must oppose it. I must observe that it is in times us elidi cult), and popular excitement, that great principles ought to be maintained, asserted, and vindicated by thou who believe in them. I would therefore recommend my constituents shut, in accordance with the principles of religious liberty and equality (which were the true prinnoles of the Rotor motion), every man ought to be entitled to ads pt the reit. gious faith which he prefers, and to propagate it to the best of his abilities—that the state ought to interfere as little as possible in religious metiers, and that cooly sect ought !J be permitted to manage itsspaitual concerns in the mahncr which it considers best. From Ouse principles I cannot conseut in any way to depart, however much 1 may condemn the con. duct of the weak and ascillsting prince whose grievous mismanagement of the papal states 1 have lately witnessed— however much I may admit that this attempt to creel,. English titles of honour and dignity is an invasion of the prerogative of our sovereign and en insult to the British natiou—however I may he inclined to avenge that innate. In a short time parliament will assemble. Her Majesty's ISlMiSterl will MU the course which they wish to pursue in the matter, and then I shall be able to determine whether I can, consistently with the principles which I have bid down, give theca my support. In conclusion, let me earnestly deprecate all expressions of religious bigotry, intolerance, and animenity ; and let me impress upon the minds of my constituents, that however blameable may have b- en the conduct of Pius IX, no blame can on that account be justly cast upon our Roman catholic follow eubjects.—Believe me, &c., ever yours truly, WILLIAM MOLEBWORIll." (Caen for Sir Witham Molesworth.) Mr. TRWAITES then rose to propose his amendment to the resolution as follows :—" That in the deitherete and decided opinion of this meeting, the recent bull of the Pope, whereby he has parcelled out this kingdom into diicesen and claiming exclusive spiritual jurisdiction therein is au arrogant assumption of power, which threatens the l.bertles of the British people, and merits a determined resistance by all clauesjof her Maj•tity's subjects. And as the Popish prieethoed, notwithetading the liberal spirit of the 'ogle's tore and the government towards Romanist', have now, by their introduction end advocacy of their canon law, re publishes their hostility to thine free and toluene principles which are the true spirit of the English coastitution, and the genius of real protestantism, we deem it alike impolitic and unsafe, that the state should continue to cherish by endowments the Roguish or any other faith, and we call upon Lord John Russell to give a practical proof of his sincerity, in the cause of civil and religious liberty, by bringing before parliament a measure for the immediate abolition of all en dowments of religion out of the public purse." A squabble here occurred among a group of Irish catholics who were amusing themselves by flying comments upon the speakers se they .uttered any sentiments bearing upon the Pope or the catholic religion. Near them, but not belonging to the party, stood Mr. Townsend, who was attired like a walking mac, and whin endeavoured for some time to make himself heard thsough the din. lie was called to order, and in answer to the chair man said he was a householder of Southwark, but not an elector. The more still they were the sooner be should be done. He was a protestant dissenter, std be could not allow the principles of civil and religious liberty to be frittered away by priests and prelate.. He held that parliament bad no business with religion at all. (" Hear, hear," and cheering.) If they wished the House of Com mons to withdraw the grant to Maynnoth, he said good ; but it they asked for one less than all religious endowments, he said bad. He contended that they had a right to sever the church from the state. (Uproar and chess, with cries of " Question.") It they did that there would not be $2 much warfare on the present question. If there had been no state establishment there would have been no Puseyism, and if there had been no Puseyism the present question would not have arisen. Mr. Townsend concluded by advo cating anti-state church principles at some length. Mr. HOWARD would not have presented himself at this stage, bad it not been for the speech of his respected friend —(lblr. Thwaltes), who had thrown the ap ple of discord into the mating—(" No, no," and " Yes, yes )—in the shape of an amendment. He wished his friend sad attended the meetings of the committee to which be bad bean invited, end if he had done so a resolution might have been adopted that would have been more in accordance with his views. Instead of that he had come there with a collision which was a cause for congratulation to their opponents, who were the enemies of religious liberty. (Interruption and cries of " Question.) The question was not of saes, but prows tantism against popery—in a word, civil and religious liberty against despotism. There was no real difference, in fact, hawse& him and Mr. Tawitims on the principle; but the question was, whether this was the time to bring forward the subject of hie amendment. Alderman WUMPHERY, M.P., next appeared before the meeting, and was received with cheers. He said be was not going to enter into the disputed points; for it was clear that every one present deplored and feared the power of the Pope. (No, no.) He believed that the great majority of the people °tibia country did deplore, and might be said to feel far at his power hero ; and he believed there were reasons in history to cause feat. Individually he had no fear — ( laughter and cheering ) — but he thought much more bad been said than would do any good. (Hear.) The amendment standing before them to be eairled coned upon Lori John Russell not only to suppress ell papal power in this resins, bitt to give practice proof of his sincerity. (Rue passed. the hon. Alderman read a part of the amendment, observing that it expensed that which they had no power to call upon ganrentent to do.) Ireland, for rumple. was not one of our dependencies, but part and parcel of the British empire ; and cut of her 0,660 000 of population 7.000,0t.' 0 0 were papists. (Hear, hear.) How they could ca 1 upon Lord Jahn Hassell to suppress that he did not know. He next alluded to the Maynooth grant, and said that there was also the Region Donune for the dissenters, and if Mr. Thwaitew would do away with Maynooth be mast also abolish the Regium Dmum. [S ome dissenting gentlemen here declared the indepen dents and baptists had always protested against thereat e of Regions Donors Ainernsan HUMPHERT continued—But though they had protested suainat it, tney had received it. (" Hear, hear, ' and laughter.) It a man cffered another a sovereign I could he waned him to accept it ? (Laughter and cheers.) Atter some further remain the hon. alderman sat down amidst the cheers of the Mr. HEARN oortroverted the speech of Mr. Alderman ' 11 umphe ry. He said if the Maynooth grant was lIVITIVIed, the Regime' Doman, end other gifts to dissenters should be removed also. He should be glad to aid in taking off those things.—(" hear," and laughter)—but tiny had been constantly protested against by those for whom they were intendeu ; and, after all, what was the Reyiurn Donlon but a paltry 1,61101. or 1,6001. a.year t lie celled fur toe abolition of endowments to every act, but that wrs not the question, but endowments to popery. (Time, time.) Mr. Thwaites had shown himself to day what he had always profs seed to be, an out and-out chertist. (Noise) Thep had come to every mating that had been hold in that call, and had thrown their charter in this , teeth. (Immense uprose; groans and Maas.) If Mr. Thweites would call upon the Higa Bailiff to pa: a solu tion 'gal= all grants of public money for any religion, then he would support him ; and thou the question would be die tuned in a proper team Bat why throw the apple of dis cord into the present meeting? (Cries of "No, to," and other noises kept up a continuous confusion, is the midst of which Mr. Hearn set down.) Mr. Burt raised a discunion on the terms of the regret ' sition, one proposed on amendment, which the chairman pr mouveed art gular, as one amendment could not be nut open another. Mr Apaley Pilau, Mr. Thwaites, and other gentlemen, addressed the meeting. Mr. Follett said al-ak had been termed, but by Mr. 1 heraitee's amendment a much larger hole was proposed to be made. The que.tion wee, what they were to recommend to parliament. The ' only practice' movement he saw of bringing the question to an issue, was to teaks the question of Maynooth into parfai t men% They ought u • matter of basineas to adhere to the ' question that had brought them together. He called upon the supporten of the amendment to up whether it ▪ would be inconsistent in them to withdraw the am. adment and ;support the resolution. A seen of great noise and confusion took place, and Mr. Felton said he had replied, end that the debate was at so end. The amendment wee under stood by some to have been put and cartital, but If so, tt was by caist.ko, for the chairmen ultimately, amidst loud cheer, declared Mr. Thwaltes'a amendment Int. Mr. Burt then declined to move any amendment. Mr. Terrain in vain attemptsd to be heard, and one of the knot of men alluded to above, who were collected neat the right of the cleats, and seemed like Irish Catholics of the w inking damn, read en omen 'anent which could not be heard, and whkh was seende.l by anotbEr of the same c l / 4 35, who was (quell inaudible. It was detest impossible to discover what was going en, or what question was before the meting, tee confusion was so great. The Chairmen at last obtait-ing• few moments' silence, read the amendment peopned by those men, which appeared to ho a declaration of sonnet prinei pies not sufficiently analogous to the business of the day to be discussed. If the propose.s would lock at it again, they would Nod it so meagre, that it would be imeoe.sible to em body it. There wen nothing in it that was rangible, and it did not se. m en him to meet the question at all. The CHAIRMAN ultimately put the resolution, which was carded amidst cheers and bison. Mr. J. HENRY SHEARS motel the second resolution, expreseing the regret of the mewing at the enecouragement given to the aggeenion of the Popo by the tracterisse, and their hope that this unfaithful faction would be put down by the proper authnitits. Mr. E. PALMER seconded the resolution, deprecating the recent proceedings which had been introduced into the English church. The CHAIRMAN thin put the second resolution, which was carried w►th verbal amendments. Mr. J. Aintreten moved, End Mr. W. Horaaan seconded the third revolution, to the effect that petitions founded on the foregoing resolutions be presented to her Majesty aid to both houses of parliament. " God save the Queen " was then struck up bye volun teer, and the whole meeting sang the anthem in chorus. Thanks were sacra d to the nigh Bailiff, who seknowlodged the csmpliment, and the meeung separated at neatly hall past four, with three cheers for the Queen. WESTMORELAND COUNTY MEETING.—in compli ance with • very numerously and respectably signed requisi tion to the high sheriff, ft meeting of Cie freeholders and others, inhabitants of the county id Westmorland, was bold on Monday, at the Whitehall-buildings, Bendel; Pgorge Edvisrd Wilson, Esq , of Hallam Tower, the high sheriff, presided, sad in a brief speech opened the proceedings.

The . ball fo u r the cotiticration of the new bishop has actually strived, and is in the Lards of Dr: Slattery, thu Raman catholic archbishop of Cashel. It does not appear that in this instance there Las been any election by the local clergy, bat Dr. Ryan has been at all events a member of their body, and is stated to have been always much esteemed by them. The Cork Examiner wares us that they cannot learn from any source that there is any authority tor the stem:lent made by its local contemporary, which I mentioned yes'eiday, that the Holy Ste has rehired to sanction the decries of the Synod of Thurlis. Another death from starvation has Luken piece in the Ennietymon Union, and the ver...ict of the coroner'sjury in the cam attributed it to toe neglect of the we-guardians.
