(Loud cheers.) Cast out the sovereign Pontiff, and they bad a universal royal supremacy. He therefore appealed to every man in Scotland, and to every man whose ancestors threw off the royal supremacy three hundred years ago, that they might establish a headship of Christ —he appealed doubly to the Free Kirk, that threw over the Erastianism of the Establishment that had no royal supremacy—he appealed to the dissenters of Eng land, who were one half of the population of this coun try—he apoesled to the church establishment itself, pene trated as it was with the sense that its bondage was the royal supremacy—lobeers) -- he appealed to the hun dreds and thousseds of educated clergymen and laymen of the established church, who, jealous of its purity, re jected the supremacy of a civil power in matters of reli gion : he said to all these, " You are bound to sympathies with us when we say we shall never become the subject of s civil power." (Load cheers.) He marvelled day by day when be reed, is the newspapers of a country more jealous in its boast of the liberty of conscience and the it bcriy of religion than any other, the scorn, contempt, and preternatural animosity that was poured out upon the head of the sovereign Pontiff. After all these years of conflict, there was now on the one side the power of the world, armed men, armed legions, the sympathy of nations, and all that the world could collect either of might or menace, and on the other side an old man with a silvery head, unarmed, isolated, and defenceless.

" Brethren,—We have met in a time universally acknow ledged to be one of ominous excitement and alarm. Om institution arose in times as excited, if not more so ; but, thanks be to God, the confidence and solidity of our organi sation gave to the scattered and desponding loyalists of this country at once formed a nucleus, round which all could rally. Under the success that the Divine blessing shed upon the constitutional efforts of our forefathers, the government of the day were enabled to outride the storm and all persistent attempts at rebellion were erushe. I. The present state of things was not wholly unexpected by vs. It is the product of an education without the Wurd of God, and of the teaching of a church whose principles are inconsistent with constitutional government and with the civil and religious liberties of man. Hatred and hostility to everything British, because protestant, have been in. stilled into the minds of our Roman catholic fellow countrymen. What is our duty now ? There is but one answer, which will be given promptly to those authorised to demand it. Our principles and our sentiments are well known. Onr uniform radium to stand forward in sup port of constitutional monarchy, and of the union of these realms, has been reflected on by self-constituted a.icisers, while we cannot expect that the enemies of such elements of order would do othenrisethan vilify and reprobate them. There stands, however, apart from our institution, a por tion of the public whose position and whose influence are worthy of every respect, and whose sentiments are deserv ing of consideration. Brethren, we tell them, in your name, that we, as unwavering defenders of protestant truth, founded on Ood's word—the basis on which our *lX tution rests—intend to retain our old defensive position. Having said this, we ask what course will be resolved on by those who propose to call on the united loyalty of the country? Let that course be as general as they please, only let it be honest and decided. We, although feeling that great injustice has been done tons by successive govern meats, promise the support of our powerful and united body in aid of the executive. Brethren, in the spirit of Christian kindness demanded by our institution, we desire, as far as in us lies, to promote love and penes among all men. Greatly do we, at all times, deplore the prospect of eon tention between man and man ; earnestly do we desire the favour of Almighty God to bless our counsels and our efforts to maintain loyalty and civil and religious free dom throughout the world ; and specially we desire to perpetuate that union betwixt this island and Great Bri tain by which so much happiness and prosperity have been attained.

A couple of fences further on Nonpareil refused, and the favourite was left with a slight advantage of Lady Melbourne to the fence leading to the piece of plough, where Jack-o'-Trumps came down, and the horse went on riderless. Nonpareil, who was got over at the second attempt, now approached Lady Melbourne, and the pair led alternately to the fourth fence from home, where lady Melbourne came down a bunter, which contretemps let up Huntsman and The Miller, who closed with Nonpareil, and the trio ran in a cluster till the last fence but one from home, when The Miller came down, and Nonpareil, quitting Huntsman, cantered in a winner by ten lengths.

(Loud cheers.) But let them remember the next words; But heaven hath a hand in these events; and a visible hand there was. This conflict was like the death we read of in the Gospel. It was not unto death, but that the Son of God might be glorified thereby. The members of the catholic church were engaged in a great conflict, and might for a time be at a disadvantage, but the issue was sure, come what might. if the sovereign Pontiff left the city of Rome, he did not make a leap in the dark in the wide world. Forty-five Pontiffs had been driven out of Rome, or had never set their foot in it, and if it happened to the 4iith they would neither be amazed nor afraid. To shift the centre of Christendom from the centre of Roman unity would carry disorder into every Christian land. If there were Christian statesmen in Europe, or if without being Christian there were en lightened statesmen, they would never suffer that calamity to reach their own homes. The cause in which they were engaged then was one the justice of which was a luminous certainty exclud ing all doubt, and the Divine promises of success were such that when the empires and kingdoms now in conflict with the Vicar of Christ were swept away, there was no room for fear that, in whatever state he might be of po verty or persecution, peace and veneration would still reign calm and supreme, and he would triumph over the enemies of him against whom the gates of hell could not prevail. (Loud cheers.) Lord DINBIGH moved the first resolution, which, he said, embodied the best instincts of his heart :—' That filial attachment and fidelity to the person and office of the Sovereign Pontiff Pius IX. is a duty of every member of the catholic church, and an obligation arising from the first principles of the faith." How, his lordship asked, could it be otherwise when every dutiful son felt the desire to draw near to his father in the hour of his adversity? However serious the position of the Pope might be, there was no need for fear ; the Holy Pontiff knew who was his Master, and he would be ready like his prototype to face every difficulty, and if required, to walk upon the waters of the trouble(' sea. He urged those catholics to beware who, like birds fouling their own nest, for the sake of fleeting popularity, and a temporary name for liberalism, joined in, or heard unopposed, the cuckoo cry, " Down with the temporal power of the Pope." Every true catholic should determine to cleave to the Holy Father through evil and good report, and nut to be afraid of what the world would say, for the Holy Father was the servant of One who said, " I have overcome the world." Let it not be said this was a time of humiliation for the Holy Pontiff. Never had holy pontiff been in a grander position. Though sur rounded by friends, and amidst dangers of every kind, he stood like a beacon, pointing out to others the danger in which they stood. The Pope never stood in a prouder position than when last year in the face of all his troubles and obstacles he issued that grand encyclical condemning his enemies. (Loud cheers.) Mr. H. lilsrrin.we seconded the motion, and in the course of a lengthy speech, spoke of Garibaldi as "an ad venturer in a red shirt, who was treated as a hero, instead of a high misdemeanant," and referred to the Emperor of the Freuch as a modern Tiberius, a wearer of a crown, who did rot hesitate to write anonymous pamphlets, a man of dark designs, the most skilful conspirator in the world, and a man who was likely to go down to posterity as the Pontius Pilate of the Papacy. Lord ARUNDEL of Waariora spoke in support of the motion, and said he was quite are of the barque of St. Peter, but he was not so certain of the crew. lu dwell ing upon the many predictions of the fall of the Pope coming true, he said the present aspect of affairs might end in what e like another fall of Babylon, in which case "we s hal l look back from the dead level of democracy and 'nisei): upon the glories of the past." The resolution was carried with acclamation, the whole audience rising, waving hats and handkerchiefs, and cheering vociferously. The next resolution was moved by Mr. Wiry, and seconded by the Rev. Father OALLWET, as follows: " That this obligation of attachment and fidelity, powerful and constraining on the hearts of catholics throughout the world at all times, is more powerful and more constraining than ever at this time, when our Hole Father, after a pon tificate of 20 years in perpetual and inflexible conflict with anti-social and anti-Christian revolution. stands alone, without human aid, in the midst of those who by violence and intrigue are labouring to destroy the temporal sove reignty by which the liberty and the safety of his person and of his office have been, by an evident providence of God, secured for the welfare of the universal church." This resolution was carried with equal enthusiasm to the other, as was the third, moved by Sir G. Bon vitn, M.P., and seconded by the Rev. Father KELLY :—" That the confraternity of St. Peter having for its object to diffuse sound principles in respect to the rights and pre rogatives of the Vicar of our Lord, to promote prayers for hiss aafety, and finally to make offerings for the mainte nance of his person and dignity, has an imperative . claim on the zealous and e ffi cient co-operation of all catho lic."

The Italian mission to the Papal Court will be entrusted to Signor Tonello, who has received from his government instructions of a highly con ciliatory character. Signor Tonello will probably leave to-morrow, but will, in any case, arrive in Rome before the 10th inst. _ . Early yesterday morning the town of Rumford and its neighbourhood were thrown into a state of the greatest consternation by a rumour which speedily gained currency that a man had been brutally murdered on the path leading along the side of the railway embank ment. It appears that at an early hour the signal-man, going to the factory, when pulling over the bridge leading to the station, discovered an umbrella and also a hat dirty and much battered, with a quantity of blood in the • portion of it appearing to have been spattered about from some dreadful blow. In the hat was written the name—" S. Godfrey, 209, City-road, London." These were quickly conveyed to the police-station, and • search was immediately instituted, and leading to the bridge was found a quantity of blood, and on it a quantity in a coagu lated state. Of course it was justly conjectured ti at the body would be found in the river Rein, which being greatly swollen through the late heavy rains, the drags were brought into requisition. While the police we ,e thus engaged and making inquiries elsewhere, some hops at a considerable distance down the river called their attention to what was apparently a dead body. On proceeding thither they found the body of a middle-aged person with a dreadful gash in his throat. In fact, it was cut in a fearful manner. He was conveyed to the Sun Inn. lie was dressed in plaid trousers, the pockets of which were turned inside out ; a black coat, and had a black band round the hat Only 3d. was found upon him. Crowds have visited the locality of the supposed murder, and the greatest excite ment prevails. The spot is so much trodden that it pre cludes the possibility of perceiving any indications as to whether a struggle had taken place. There are numerous rumours all oat, and a variety of reports as to who deceased is, but although numbers have viewed the body, no one has been able to identify him, and everything is involved iu the greatest mystery. A medical gentleman has o.aulineil the body, and is of opinion that the wound is self indicted. However the police are actively engaged in prosecuting the most searching inquiries, which will no doubt be attended with success, and it is to be hoped fully elucidate the fearful tragedy. —Chef insford C'bronicle. td I rro be LET, or SOLD a bargain, at a very mode -1 rate ground-rent, an elegant detached VILLA RESIDENCE Stied with Venetian blinds, gas fittings, Ac., and situate No. 7, Grosvenor Villas, Junction-road, Upper Holloway, with charming Arden, with ruckwork fountain, rustic summer-boom, &c.

(Cheers.) They had met that evening to endeavour to arouse in the borough some little seal towards the establishment of a pubhc library and museum ; but he doubted whether, under the Act 13th and 14th Victoria, they could effect their object unless Lambeth were made a municipality ; because the act pro vided that such a thing must be done by the mayor at the request of the town council. At present Lainbeth was not a municipal borough. but he thought it desirable that some new municipal life should be implanted among the great metropolitan boroughs, and that It would be a good thing to convert them into distinct municipalities. Mr. Mill, the member for Westminster, had brought forward a measure for the purpose of convert ing Westminster, Lambeth, Marylebone, Finsbury, the Tower Hamlets, and Southwark, into distinct municipalities, united on equal terms with the City of London. He regarded the establishment of pub lic libraries and museums as a great and important step in advancing the education of the people. (Hem, hear.) Most of those who were then present lusd probably re cently attended meetings that bad been larger and more excited than that, the object of those meetings being to support a reform in the constitution of the country, and a very largo extension of the suffrage. (Cheers.) Nothing could be more desirable than this in the present crisis of affairs in England ; but, at the same time, the movement for spreading, and deepening, and widening the education of the people was scarcely less important. (Cheers.) By the one movement they hoped to throw open the doors of the constitution to a very large number of their fellow subjects, and by the other they hoped to make those who were to be admitted within the pale of the constitution worthy of that admission. (Cheers.) Having pointed out the advantages conferred by the es tablishment of free public libraries and museums, Mr. Hughes, referring to the general question of public educa tion, said the time was coming when those who wished well to the people of this country must insist on a com pulsory education. (Cheers.) Parents were hound by the law of England to provide, as far as they had the means, the requisite food, raiment, and lodging for their chil dren, and he did not see why they should not also have the obligation laid upon them of providing for the mental wants and nourishing the minds and souls of their off spring. (Cheers.) He saw that all the most active friends of education throughout the country were cooling to this conclusion, and he thought the time was approa chin g when all who' were well-wishers of the country should put their strength into the movement.

Our Kilmarnock correspondent relates how the police of that town pursued a suspected person to Troon on Saturday ; and other cases of a somewhat sim eman ilar nature have occurred in t he county. A gentl visiting Saltooats last week received attentions from the police, owing to some supposed resemblance that he hors to Stephens ; and we have heard of a commercial traveller coming from Carlisle to Ayr a day or two since, who, but for the fact of his being known to one of the guards, wou ld have had his journey interrupted. If the police and ra way officials in other parts of the kingdom are as wide awake as those in this district, it will be something wonder ful if Stephens succeed in running the gauntlet as he did on the last occasion.—Ayr Adrvrtiser.

RELEASE OF FIVE PRISONERS.—Ye , terday (Thursday) considerable surprise and interest were caused in Chelmsford by a report that live young men convicted of destroying a fence, the property et the Ven. Archdeacon Mildmay, on the sth of November last, and sentenced to two months' imprisonment, had been seen coining away from the gaol, has Mg been released by order of the Home Secretary. Upon inquiry, we find that early yesterday morning an official order for the release of the prisoner. from Mr. Welpile, the Home Secretary, was received from the gaol, and they were of course at mice set at liberty. It appears that imme diately after the conviction the case was taken op by several gentlemen iu the town, who were net satisfied from the evidence of the guilt of the accused, am l by 'heir advice a petition to the Home Secretary was dr:wn up by the young men themselves, setting forth that the ' ring leaders in the mischief had esc a p ed, and the s p ecial con stables hail arrested them (the pneoners) because they were the first they came upon near the fence, although they had taken no actual part in the d.uuage. This petition was duly forwarded to the Home Secretary, who at onee put himself into communication with the cemeeirting n:agis trates, the result being that after a delay of some three weeks, a "free pardon ' has been extended to the five young men.--Chelareford Chmnidc. BURGLAEIES IN DEVONSHIRE.—SeveraI daring burglaries have been committed in Devon during the past fortnight. The last occurred on Tuesday morning, when a forcible entry was made into the residence of Captain Walby, of Cleave, near Exeter, by removing an iron bar at the back kitchen window, and cutting out a pane of glass. In the kitchen was a large house dog, which the burglars soon silenced by cutting Lis throat. The house was then ransacked downstairs and up, but nothing was removed —they could not find the plate, as for security it Lad for tunately been placed in the gardener's sleephig.room. The gardener heard a noise in the house, but thinking it was caused by the butler he took no notice of it. Pre sently, however, he was alarmed by a light shining into his room. and a man putting his head inside the door and exclaiming, " Good gracious :" The burglar made a hasty retreat, and the gardener was soon hard at his heels ; but the former got outside the door, and turning the key upon his pursuer managed to get clear off. A few days ago plate to the value of 150/. was stolen from the vicarage of the Rev. Mr. nson of Wembworthy, and nu clue to- the burglars has Joh yet 'been obtained. The residence of Sir Stafford Nortncote, at Pynes, was also broken into a short time back, but the family plate had been taken to Lonion, and the robbers got no booty. " TUE RULING PASSION."—A good illustration occurred a few days since of the strength of the " the ruling passion" even in death. An old man in his last illness was admitted into one of the me tropolitan hospitals. He was without relations, friend, or apparent means of su bsistence ; but when undressed and put into bed, a bag of money was found sus pended by a string around Lis neck. To this he clung with tenacity, refusing to part with it to anyone, and weaking it about him by day and night. Al his end approached,•the treasure became a matter of anxiety to those tending him; for the sum was evidently large , and it was feared that it might offer temptation to some patient in case the moment of his death should be unobserved. At length the hour arrived, and when death had apparently claimed him, a nurse gently unfastened the string and removed the At the same moment the old man opened his. eyes and felt instinctively for his treasure, which was no longer in its place. Ile uttered the word " Gone !" and died. The money, which was found to amount to 1741., was handed over to the hospital anthorities.—lancet.
