t glans, the word of Gon, the blessings of .education, the truths of the everlasting gospel off sausCoorar,are things dearer to us than anything temporal, or even life it. self. And, my Mends, is there not a cause tissit the ministers of religion should take a part in proceedings such as these? Do not all remember the execrable denunciations of O'Connell—" We have broken down those banners thyt there raised against us; we have trampled upon their odious laws, and will destroy their Church?' And is not that Church called upon to pro. • tect and defend itself ? And is not this a :efficient rea son that we should leave our beloved retirement, and the performance of cur parochial duties? What does be mean by the Church ? Is it the body of &faith ful people holding the truth as it is in Jesus? and shall wenot stand up in defence of that body for which Cams? died ? I feel satisfied that the sacred flame which is kindled in the hearts of my brethren, and animates their souls, exceeds that which I myself experience. Yet 4 am persuided, that I would not, for a single mo ment, place the temporalities and the petits-of our Church in competition. I reckon that the one is not worthy to be confounded with the other. But if the Church was destroyed—if its establishments were razed to the ground—if our tithes and our emoluments were taken from us—what then ? Is there nothing, Gentle. two, connected with this ? would this be effected with out any consequences? There are tithes and Church lands—but are there no civic lands? and forfeited lands? sad abbey lands? no lay impropriatioos ? no Nobleman or layman in possessionof tithes? His Lord ship of Rossmore, he who is so liberal, such a lover of Protestants, so kind a conciliator, has be no share of tithes? and in a wretched spirit, in a worse taste, did be not last week look alter those tithes? Yes, be had the hardened front to go to Glaslough, and, in the very domain of Mr. Leslie, traffic for his share of these tithes ..(Loudobeers). Oh, yes, I grant that the Ministers of the Established Church would be the very first to be stripped of their possessions; but when we lay. prostrate. we would secure only stepping stones to raise the Popish Faction to that eminence from whence they would be able to gain possession of Ireland in its entire extent. But there is another motive which engages.us to unite in the objects for which you are assembled this day: it is the alarming situation of the country. Its state is indeed awful; and it has been already so eloquently described, that I nred not attempt to add to the impres. &ion which has been made upon you; but Imlay be pounitud to advert for a moment to the causes which prodoeed this lamentable state. Previously to the Meeting separating, T. S. CORRY, Esq. in a speech of uncommon brilliantly, moved the thanks of the Meetiag.to Eeelya John Shiflett Esq for his uniform support of the Constitution in Church and State. kis almost seedless to say, tbattbe resolution was car riesl-without a single dissentient voila,. We regret that the great I -wh to which the Report bas run prevents us from gbribg MCorry's speech. Brfore Cohabit Lamas left the Chair, there were thee cheers for Protestant ascendancy + three cheers for Sir Harcourt Lees, and one cheer mote for Mr. Grey.

According to . a letter from Bayonne, it is reported that the yellow fever bas appeared at Seville, and that the troops from Cadiz had suspended their march, to forms cordon round that city.

When the division arrived on that dangerous coast, it found itself without the means of effecting a landing, and, in order ,to avoid the risk of being exposed to the tempestuous season which was fast approaching, the Spanish Admi ral has been under the necessity of quitting the waters of Campeachy.

Several of the characters were happily sustained; but, upon the whole, there was not that strength of cast which the public have a tight to look for It Ditfry.lani , Theatre. Mr. FAIRISH was Sir Peter Teazle. and it being his first appearance since he has become one of the cons pany. he was received with marked favour. H. played with great ease and ability. and general*, when rich in his performance, e.pecially in thq screen scene, reminded us of his predecessor:— He is unquestionably a very great acquisition to the Theatre. Mr. Josses, as Charles Surface, played plea santly t but he wanted weight to produce the full and just effect. Mr. Comma played Joseph Surface with more ability than any actor who is now in the habit of appearing in that character. Mr. Livros sustained the part of Crabtree for thifiru time. and played in a r icbly humorous style. We have not, for a long time, seen so efficient a representative of the character. He made all his malicious remarks with a peculiarity of emphasis and of look, that was itresistibly laughable. We never before saw Mr. ITARLEY in the char actor of Sir Baja win Backbite. He throws too much of caricature—we had almost said, too much of absolute buffoonery—into his delineation of the part. :is- Betjainin, though a fop, is a Gentlestsau. Miss E.Taita played Lady' reask with con siderable naivete. and, considering thepart she had to go through. with effect. Mrs. DAVISON, in Mrs. Candour, was a perfect pattern of sincerity—sincerity of that sort, which, in a wordly -point of view, is a commodity as distinct from truth, as virtue is from vice.. She was well seconded by her coadjutor in duplicity,LodySater mil (Mrs. [Critelli.). each tasions to destroy the domes tic happiness of Sir Peter and his wife. but worthily doomed to disappOiniment. The entertainments concluded with The Critic, which was admirably played. Mr. Jones was Paj, Mr. FAR RIS! Sir Fretful, Mr. COOPER Sneer, Mr. harms Don Whiskeraisdos, and Mrs. Oaoaa Tilburins. Such a disposal of the chief characters could hardly, even in thought have been improved, and the exquisite wit-of SHERIDAN received perfect justice both from the actors and the audience. The House was tolerably well attended. COVENT-GARDEN. The Merchant df Venice *is peiformed last night.-- Mr. KRA* was Shylock, a character which may be reckoned among the best of this unique performer's es hsisitions. The tutbiess and unrelenting temper, and wily ward disposition of Shylock, accord well a ith the physitel capacities of Mr. K lAN j besides he has more scope for the exercise of that species of acting in which he is excellent, called, in the Theatrical language, bye-play. The savage temper of Shylock, his thirst for revenge, and his vindictive spirit, were well depicted. But it is needless to recount the excellencies of the petformer in this character—excellencies which . have been so often seen, and acknowledged. He certaatly played the cha racter as well last night as on any former occasion. Mr. C. Kmears, in Bassanio,' was most impressive. Miss JARMAN. in Portia, was excellent. This young Lady possesses considerable powers, and in the celebrated in vocation to Mercy, evinced great judgment and count discrimination. The Opera of Carron Side was to have followed, in which the new singer, Miss BVITIELDIWaStO have performed Blanch Mackay, for the second time. The Opera, however, was changed, on account, as , it was statod, of the illness of the young Lady. bor . Freischuts was the substitute. . History follows human events through the course of time; poetry sizes their prominent features, their pet m•nent principles, the same yesterday, to-day s aad for ever.

LETTERS FROM THE LEVANT. -...-- • We were met by several girls retaining from it, bee. ing vessels in which they had been to draw water, asi others laden with linen which they had washed at at fountain. Throughout the East, the custom, so ofta al'uded to in Scripture.of its being the duty of femalesa go to the wells, seems to have prevailed from a period a •the remotest antiquity, and is as prevalent at the pitmen moment, as when Rebecca assuaged the thirst of the Se" rant of Abraham, Nat the time of the evening. ever the time when women go out to draw water," or ebto the woman of Samaria met Jams by the well dhoti. This very' edifice too, and others constructed for a similar purpose, .afford a striking illustration of it peculiar force of the passage to which I have al. hided, besides several throughout the New Test s sent, in which the word " well " is enema* translated. 44 If thou knewest (said Jesus to the ww man) the gift of GOD, and who it is that saith use tbee give me to drink, thou wouldst have asked hits, and he would have given unto thee living tenter. The woman saith onto him, Sir, thou has nothing to draw with, and the well is deep ; from whence, then, hest thou that living water ? Art thou greater than oat father Jacob, who gave us the well, and drank thereri himself, his children, and his cattle? Janus with oats her, Whosoever drinketh of this water shall thirst ass** But whose drinketh of the water that I shall give hie shall never thirst, but the water that I shalt give hi. shall be unto him a well of water springing up ids eternal life." ,~ _~ The Dowager Queen of WIRTZIMERG bad beet afflicted with the dropsy for. some years past, which w 6 the cause of her ex:raordinary size.

Her MAJESTY frequently experienceil great difficulty in breathing, and was obliged to be car• reed up stairs in an easy chair.

Extract of a letter from Gibraltar of the 25th of September:—" It is very extraordinary that, although the season is very far advanced, the number of sick is that place, instead of diminishing, has augmented. % observe that in the hospitals the number of deaths ate more considerable than in the houses : in general, the physicians who attend the private houses are Spaniards, while those who attend the hospitals are English. Ihe first have adopted emetics, purgatives, and acid re freshments; while the system of the latter is making use of mercury and other violent remedies; which a re generally fatal to inflammatory fevers. There is a g►eat .want of tents, owing to most of them having bet% occupied by the inhabitants, and two thousand of whom axe busted of assistance.
