soy steeper in consequence of ibis eiszelske Hair undoubted ecionitational right ee peddler." Joins Lawns, of Gafryeloyne Cottage, Esq. rose and said—Mr.' President and Gentlemen, it has been al loyed to me to second the Resolution proposed by my respectable friend, Mr. Swete, who has been pleased to }ay tl , at he expected me to go somewhat at large into ,the 'object of our present Meeting; but I beg leave to saw, that I am total!i unaccustomed and altogether un prepared to do so. However, I cannot avoid giving vent tts the - feelings of my heart, And I must, in the first place, sincerely congratulate my brother B. unswickers on the present altered aspect of our cause, the more particu larly as it was the Cork Club which first ,gave public ex pression to their feelings Gentlemen, but a few months . since, and the hopes of Protestants were almost blasted, their spit its evaporated, and their strength paralysed. If events have proved that they did not drink of the oblivious waters of tethe, at least they partook of copious draughts of the stupifying cup of apathy. The constitutional vessel of Protestantism was almost a wreck , on the turbulent sea of politics, buffeted by the storm of faction, and agitated by the billows of arrogant sedi. • tion; she had almost foundered, and yet no arm was ' stretched out to save her. What is her present state? Why,Gentlemen, she has r ighted, and is now making for . the harbour of safety, with her sails inflated by the breathings of wisdom and the aspirations of loyalty, where, I trust, she will be moored in eternal security by the cables of reason and of argument, made fast to the anchor of immortal truth—(Hear, heat). • Gentlemen, the Protestant Establishment has been attacked by a • . multitude of foes; by the Papist, because it is Pro testant—by the rebel, because it has always proved faithful to the Crown—by the mountebank orator and radical reformer, because it affords a field for popular declamation—by the needy, because it is rich—and by the pri.fi•gare, because it is virtuous!!!—(Hear.) But these, so great and so many as they are, it might have laughed to scorn, were its Members but due to it add to themselves, which, unfortunately, has nut been the use. That establishment has had to contend, not only with open and avowed toes, but with that most dangerous, although most contemptible, description of enemy, lukewarm and insincere friends—one part of win m, for a little ephemeral popularity, are teady to sactifice. upon the altar of false-called liberality, their laws, their teliginn, and eventually themselves; while the other port . , caring for more substantial )senefits, for the pri.motion of their trades, the aggrandizement of their persons, and the swelling of their over loaded poises, are ready, like Esau in the Scriptures, to sell their birth-right for a mess of portag e ; remember that when the penitent sau wished also fur a blessing, says, " Bless me, even me, also, oh, my father," there a as mitre in store for the repentant prodi gal—(lleal). Geralemeo, did time permit, I think I could prove from historical documents the dangers we should encounter ta) the admission of Roman Cathol;cs • to pirlitical ; hut at this late hour of the day I shall content myself by begging to remind you that all the the old Papal eemaeds and pretensions remain to tally uncontradic ed by the pretended infallible autho rity e loch crated and assumed them, end that, while they remain unrest inded by an ecumenical Church, they are a part and parcel of their religious opinions. In vain it is said that they have been contradicted by the D ictors of :heir Church. These Doctors had no author • rity to annul or abrogate them; and we may as well • say, if any vital ptincipte of our reformed creed was croaradicted by a lets of .an Clergy, that this principle would 'become nugatory—a position so absurd as to require neither argument nor illustration—(Hear ). There is one clause in one f your re..olutions which, I think. requires a little 'mask, namely, that one in which pat r quest your Members to support the prayer of your Petition. Gentlemen, a request hom such an assembly as I see around inn ought not to be lightly refused; and I think a e owe it to each other to take t thereat steps to give ourselves the power of preventing a repetition of it, sh uld such a sefasal be has rded. It has been put forward by a portion of our Press that, with rested to out City, should an Election tat • place to-morrow, the return of two Brun swickers would be effected. Geotlenren, I call upon you to doubt the fact—that statement may have been put for ward to • rouse one party to exertion, and 101 l theother into false security. No, Gentlemen, let us all act as if the pre servation of the Constitution depended upon our in dividual efforts; let those who possess the elective franchise amongst us preserve it pure and unpromised until the day f trial; let those who do not possess it use every means will in their power to secure it; let us doubt our capability —let us bi appr.hensive if the power of our opponents—let us be vigilant, alert, and active, and let us not calculate our strength until the " day of struggle arrive —for, believe me, struggle most assuredly it will be. I do riot wish to dishearten—l doubt not yo.:r power to launch Constitutional first rates of your own on the seas of political life—but I am sure that, to effect the most desir -E4e object, we must have a long pull, a strong pull, and, above all, a pull altogether. (ien•lemen, it has been asserted that there has h en hitherto 1:0 legitimate public opinion in Ireland. T•isit can't( t be now said—theßrunsoick Clu' s have spoken the op;nion of the Protestants of Ireland, and the thunder of their voice has been reechoed from the sister country. Should the lion spirit of England be e ace thoroughly arnsed, farewell to all hope r f Papal advancement to tie Leguslatute. To bring abut this m3ch sirshed-fot consummation theßrunswickers of Ireland • ill assist thi it brethren in Gre .t Britain, and by the help of both, and with that aristance, w i hout which all other aid were less than nothing—the blessing of the GOD of truth upon a righteous cause—pure religion shall • hrmaint aimed, true I.hei ty shall be preserve f, and legal . mate property shall be secured. Gentlemen, I feel I have already trespassed too tar upon your time—(crirs of " Hear, hear," " no, no," "go on, go on' )—much fur ther, at all events, than was my original intention. In conclusion, I implore of e •ch individual of this extensive . meeting. if he were asked to surrender the citadel of our constitution into the hands of its post inveterate even ies, to reply, " While I see that citadel fortified by the batteries of reason and argument—whiie those batteries ve defended by physical power and moral force—while the garrison is powerful and enthusiastic • in hi auppoit—while the command is in the hands of the conqueror of Europe, the heroic and illustrious Wellington—and, beyond all, while its defence is, as I firmly believe it to be, under the superintending eye of an omniscient and omnipotent Commander, who, in his dealings with his creatures, is pleased to accoorpliah his wise and inscrutible purposes by the use of means and • . human agency, and who has promised not to leave him 'elf without witness, or his church without protection, my answer always has been, now is, and hereafter shall be—s , No Stir render !!!"—iLond cheering). " linsland never did, nor never shall, g a in at the foot of a proud conqueror; But, when she first did help to wound herself— Bow these her Princes are come home again . Come the three-quarters of the world in arms, And we sbaU shock them—nought shall make us rue If Ragland to herself do prove but tare." This having terminated the business for which the, Club had been assembled, the President, Rowe. DIANN, Esq, was moved from the Chair, and Admiral Ev.hws, NI.P. being calleJ thereto, it was moved lay Aapassaas 'rowans/in, Esq. and carried by acclamation, ;bat the thanks of this Meeting be given to their respected Pre; sident, for the dignified and proper manner in which he conducted himself in the Chair on that day, andlor the seal and ability he has always displaye . d in support of the Constitution in Church and State. TILE DINNER. The attendance at the dinner in the evening was nu metous and highly respectable comprising the leading Gentlemen who attended the Meeting in the early part of the day, as also several others who could frit attend at that time, but were resolved to testify their strong at tachment to Pi otestantism and the glorious principles of the Constitution in Church and State, which they had assembled to celebrate. The dinner, which was heli at the Imperial Hotel, was announced for half past six, but it was not served up until nearly eight. On en tering the large room we were particularly struck with the splendour of the dec•rrarions,, which were got up under the direction of the Stewards appointed by the Club. At the extreme end, just over the Presi dent's chair,was a beautiful transparencyof an equestrian figure of our glorious deliverer, William, of immortal memory, opposite to which was one r t our most gra cious Monarch, George IV. dressA in the Windsor uniform, with a star on his breast. The feelings which those emblematic figures excited were instantly dis played by three distinct rounds of applause. The company c3nsisted of between seventy and eighty, to accommodate which were three tables. One was placed across at the top of the room, and the others took the entire range at either side, which afforded great space, and enabled every individual to see what was go ng forward. R. Deane, Esq pre.ided. and on his right was sup ported by W.:sr Admiral Evans, M.P. and on his left by Colonel Longfield. At the table to the right hand of the President, Gerard Callaghan, El. and Captain Westropp, R.N. acted as Vice Presidents, and on the left Richard Wood and John Thomas Cramer, E qrs. The attention of those Gentlemen through the night was devoted to make every individual p►esent feel as it he were " at home,' and in this they were successful. Several Gentlemen of the musical profession attended, and, aided by some first-rate amateurs, added mach to the hilarity ut the evening. As soon as thst cloth was drawn and grace said, the worthy President sounded the alarm, and all were ordered to "prepare." Ile called for a bumper, and gave— " The King, Goo bless him"—four times four. Air," GOD save the King." " The Duke of Clarence and the other branches of the Royal Family"—three times three. " The Constitution of 1688—the whole Constitution of 16811— and nothing but the Constitution of 1665." This toast was received with loud cheering, and cries of " No surrender," and " One cheer more." " The glorious, pious, and immortal memory of the great and good King William, who freed this country from the domination of Popery '•—(Nine timei nine, and thunders of applause.) "The Brunswick Constitutional Clubs of Ireland, and may every true Protestant see it his duty and his Interest to attach bitustlf to them."—Glee, " Glorious Apollo." " The Duke of Wellington and the other Members of the King's Cabinet, supporters of the Constitution as it is."—(Great cheering.) " Protestant ascendancy in Church and Btates"—(Cheers.) "The Corpor.tion of Cork, and may it ever uphold its charac ter of loyalty and attachment to Protestant principles—and, when they deviate tr..m them, m.y they cease to be a corporation."— (Loud cheering.) " The Karl of Longford and the President of the Brunswick Constitutional Club of Ireland." Three time three.—Glee," Life's a bumper." " Lords Farnham, Enni.killen, and Rathdown, and the other members of the Nobility who have elertud themselves so promi nent in arousing the Protestants of Ireland in defence of the Coo stitution." " Admiral Evana, and the Doneraile Beunterick Club.' " May the Protestants of the present day ever bear in mind the principles of 168[1."—(Loud eke ring.) " The Duke of Newcastle, the Marquise Chandos, sod Lords Kenyon, Winchtlsea, and Bezley, who have so energetically ap pealed to the British people to oppose the encroachments of Popery." The Cuatnivaa now called for a bumper to the Uni versity of Dublin, the foundation stone of which was laid in the reign of Queen Eistbeth for the suppirt of Protestantism. That feeling still, and ever would. pie. vs it within irs walls ; and we had to boast of a Robin. son s a Millar, a &won. and among ourselves .Nlar tin, men wt,o.e equal for leaning could not be fousid He could not detain them 1 nges, but give " The University of Dublin, and may Protestantis:n ewer (hid within its walls its ablest supporters." " The Archbishop of,Dublin and the Church of Ireland." " Navy and Army of England." " The Duke of Cumberland and the Orangemen of Ireland." " Lord Eldon. the venerable patriarch." " Lord Manners, the late Chancellor of Ireland." " The exports of Ireland, and the enemies of the Constitution first." " %lr. Peel, the there anchor of the Protestant interest." " Alr. Sevin, and the Constitutional portion of the Irish Bar." l'rotestantism and Brunswickism, and may both continue to Sourish as the best preservatives of civil and religious liberty." 's Universal benevolence and our brother Brunewickers." The company separated at a late hour, highly delighted with such a diepLay of Constuitutiornal feeling and festivity evinced on the occasion. ROMAN CATHOLIC ASSOCIATION. ' Dusus, JAN. 16. ?Hl MANQUIS 01 ANGLII-IY. Mr. O'Coarsam., M.P. announced, that on Saturday the add•ess from the United Parishes of' St. Andrew. St. Mink, and St. Anne, would be presented to his Excellency the Marquis of Auglesey, at twelve oic!ock, at the Viceregal Lodge, Phan x Park. He then ad verted to the law empoweriog persoos to kee l , arms. fo keep unlicensed dirks, daggers, illt..was illegal, and, to make them, a transportable felony—(Hear, bear). — there were many O. angemen in the North w ho were guilty of this offence, and the next Assizes they should be punished—(Cheers). It would be a pleasant thing ins a si•me five or six of the bloodhounds marched off to B itany Biy—(A laugh). Nnt long ago, at an in vestig.,tion before Mr. Mayne and some Magistrates of Mona, tan, informations had been sworn against some Orangemen for a violation of the law respecting arms, and although the clime alleged was a felony, the informations had been returned to the Sessions. I made an applic.-ton to the King's Bench on the sub ject. Mr. Mayne came in and made an affidavit that he had acted under the advice of the Magistrates. The Court acquitted hid of an intentional error, 1 • decided that the case was a , felony, and °Hired the in formation to be returned to the Assizes--(Hear, heat); When M. Mayne returned, the Orangemen greeted his triumph with bonfires. Now what was the '• tri umph ?" Why, that the Court of King's Bench de cided that he had acted Wort impoperly. Then the kennel gloried, even in the mistaken notion of success;' now the bloody faction rejoice at a real tiiumph e —the recal of Lord Angle.,ey-e-CHear, hear, hear). Yes, the , bloodhounds rejoice, and blood marks their exultation, even before he i. gone—who would, if allowed, crush the reptiles—who ruled the country with an impartial hand, and aho held tie sword of justice equipoised over the heads of all—(Hear, hear).

This shwas bow•the friends of suffering huina , .ity, i.f justice, and of behind. shouldiweep at the mail if ibe I Lord Lieutcnant—(llear, hear, hez ). TAle imlottatxc of this Object is great, and I anti not only move that it be retested to the Committee, bin 'I will wait upon Lord Gower sad, demand justice for the people—(Loud chetis). He is a young Nobleman of high retraction, desdnded from one of the oldest and most liberal falai -les in Engl .nd—iliberal himself. and a young Gen tleman of great talents, and of the mi st enlsrged ideas heat). He cannot, it is impo sible he could, become the instrument of hii own dep,radatiln, by be• comieg the tool of an infernal faction. I will call upon him to send down some of the-Crown C unsel to the Notch. to investigate into the state of that past of the country. This is not unprecedented. Lir , ' Wellesley did it be:oir, and Lott! Anglesey woule do it, if an insane poi cy had not tempted a " seirse than mad" Piemier to treat him—(Loud cheess).— Let any man read the Mail, the vile Gazette of the kennel, and won't he then see their object ? Is it not rapine, plunder, and assassination?—(Hear. hear) he Jew of the College spesks of the " molts! stab " given to Popery—l thank the miscreant fad the hint, for it demonstrates how the machine works, and shows how the wretches would gloat upon the writhing, of their victim. What a delicious morceais this would be for the Orange Parsons and their wives! What a splen did spectacle it would be to see a Papist wincing in the triangle, under the lash of the cat-o'-nine-tails, so often ' used by the lacerator of 98—(Hear, heir). 13ut they shall be disappointed in their sanguin iry expectations, for the people of Ireland are now tits lute ligeot, too moral, and know their own interests too well, to give the fiends an opportunity of satiating their thus' for vengeance with Catholic blood— (Hear and cheers). — If Lord Gower will not give us a fivoutable answer, e will go to the Duke of Wellington and demand re cites', and it his Grace will not listen to our complaints. we will insist upon the liberal P.otestant and the Ca tholic Peers, as the rightful Countelliiis of the King, to knock at the gates of Win iso , , and in his Majesty's closet to proclaim to the King, that " rout der has been committed, and the murderess are still let loose upon society"—(Applause). It shall tp• proclaiinei to Europe and to the world. To avo d having a sectarian ap• penance, I will . give notice that we shall change the' name of Catholic Association to that of . 4 Univ. rsal Irish Association." We have given ',mice of a surrender of these rooms; if we Ale emancipated we shalt not want them ; if we are not. they will tie too s nail for us —(Hear).

The interference of Minigets was alto gether hopeless, and the only alternative left was to pm. seat a respectful Memorial to hi:. Majesty, praying aide' some altetat;on might be made in the Chest:i t or anew roe granted. Mr. CARRUTHERS asked what were the c' ndidnes, which the tel..ct body wished to impo.e as apt eqi.iva, lent for the restorat on of the rights of the he. ni a? The CHAIRMAN said that - Th. sekc' body we ft 1111 s eat)./10`k to the distresses of the fi hermen unless they would sign a bye law to the eft: ct that they woud agree to any futute laws •hich the select body night think proper t impose. The CHAIRMAN it en stated, that the fends of the Corporatt n had been converted into eng•n?s to ski party anJ purposes . the Bo (nigh hid bent I under the controul f the Board of .0 finance f r up. wards of a century, and M . G wet was the very first person wit-) had bro-ke the cs nnrcti in. lie spoke of the abuses which then existed, and vicce. ded eventually is throwing nut the two Government •Ittisbers.

The worthy Chairman c included by expressing a hope t• at Englishmen would not link on with apathy at such an usurpaeori of the right!' and privileges <4 a pn'ti •n of Oen countrymen, but would at all events come tot ward to sescue than or , m that famine to which they moist othet wise be con. signed —(Cheers.) The SacnarA aT then read a oeprt of the application of the funds during the last year. which report was re. ceived and adopted by the-Meeting. The CHAIRMAN obavrsed, that he had the gratifies lion to inform the Meeting that one object of Mr. Greet had been defeated by the subscription f last year. The freemen had been saved from the necessity of applying for parochial relief, which would have destroyed the elect ye franchise. The expression of Mr. Greet to the freemen was, 4 4l will keep you poor to make you humble." Mr. ALra made a powerful appeal to the sympathies of the Meeting in layout of the unfortunate burgesses, and concluded by moving, 64 That a Witt or subscription in their behalf be immediately commenced." Alderman LUCAS seconded the motion, and expressed a hope that the patience with which they had borne th it suffering, would create such feelings in their favour as would eventually save them from the gripe of their oppressors. Mr. PLATT (the Bassist r) and Mr. cAnnUTHIRS. severally addressed the Meeting in favour of the unity. tunate burgesses. Mr. Sergeant Mutawaavomt, in moving the re-ap pointment of last year's Committee, with power to add to their numbers, made an eloquent appeal to the public feeling, and legally set forth the duties sf fhe seven deci, as well as the duties they had usurped, and contended that the burgesses were flirly entitled to those privileges of which the select body had deprived them. The SICILETARY rhea read a list of subscriptions, amongst which Were the following—John Carel. Req. M.P. 1001. (Mr. Carel sob. scribed WM. last year also) ; Mr. Sergeant Wilde, 211. Mr. Ser geant Mereweatlser, 101. 10s. Mr. Platt,. 101. los. Mr. Puller, 101. 101. Mr. Sanders, 101. 10s. Alderman Lucas, lOL 10s. &c. The CHAIRMAN said, that under the impression that vole Gentlemen might wish to ask any questions of the fishermen themselves, they had sent for several of them, who were at that moment in the room, and would gladly answer any interrogatories that might be put to them. Mr. PIMLY said he believed that there was a good deal r f misrepresentation on both sides, but as the ob ject of the meeting was not political, but only to relieve the distresses of the inhabitants, he would subsctibe to the fund—(Cheers). What he had that day heard he could not have at all believed had he not visited Queen. borough some few months back, when it bore every re• 'semblance to Goldsmith's Deserted Village. A Gentleman said he had spoken with Mr. Greystock.. one of the seven select, and asked him how the select body could proceed with such a malicious, bad, sad vengeful spirit? upon which he answered, that it was eel tainly a bad and malicious spirit, but that the select body had obtained their power and would defend it. Mr. CA RRUTH gas taid, that the legal gentlemen were of opieion that the burgesses had the better cause, Ind if that were the case, why not try the question ? As matters stood, they might be called on year after year :or subscriptions to relieve the burgesses.. when a sub s:i iption to enable them to get a decision in their fa vour would settle the matter at once. Mr. TAYLI R (the Common Councilman) was of a itn ilar opinion. The CHAIRMAN said. that the suggestion was very good, but in the interim something must be done to save the people from starving. A rainy of questions were then put to the fisher men present, which they answered very clearly and satisfactntily.—Thanks were then voted to the Chair man, and tl.e Meeting adjourned.
