IRELAND. 1111011 INK DUBLIN IVINIIIO MAIL, FltinVARI 16 STATIC OF rue Cotrwrar.--The provincial Papers received this morning give a lamentable picture of the state of affairs in the South. We anticipated the effect which she conduct of the Ministers would have upon the besotted and bigotted peasantry, and our anticipa tions have been realized. Protestants are every where ',eerily insulted; hothes robbed of arms; the police at. tacked; murders committed in the noonday; and to the perpetrators of such outrages greater power is to • be given.

The start was from Greengate Ford, in Burton Lordship. over lasuborpe Brooke, to the Noel's Arms on the Oakbam road, a distance of four mike, and won only by-Sfry-yards. Captain Ross rode his own horse, and at starting the odds were six to four in his favour. Mr. Fret. NICHOLSON rode Mr. G11.113111'1, and both horses were much distressed. It is thought that Captain Itoas lost the race betaking a line to the kft instead of the right. These was net a single fall.

SCOTTISH HOSPITAL. ' Yesterday aa atraordinary general staving of this Chalky was held at the Hall of the Corpoiation. in Fleet-sweet. His Royal Highness the Duke of CLA. awes in the Chair. Sir MICHAEL SHAW STEWART. Bart. explained the object of the meeting. His IN,i.rcari had been gra ciously pleased to be,tow an annual donation of one hundred pounds on the Charity, and it was for the pur pose of moving a dutiful Address to his MAJESTY, in consequence thereof, that the present meeting had been convened. The worthy Baronet then read the Address, which having been signed and sealed, was delivered to his Royal Highness, in order that it might be presented to the Kato. The Duke of CLAIMS having received the address, rose and said, that he took blame to himself for not having much sooner directed his Majesty's attention to Ihe excellent objects which the Scottish Hospital had in view. An annual subscription was a much mote efftc live way to benefit a charity. than by giving one sum, as was genera:ly the practice in the reigns of George the 2d and Sd—(Applause). It was peculiarly appro priate, when his Majesty's health was drunk by his subjects at any public charity. patronised by the King, to give a subset iption. A good example was thus afforded, and an interest and connection with charitable institutions kept up, which by any other means could not be so well effected—(Hear). Sir M. S. STLWART, Bart. Sir PRIER LAURI!, the lion. Wit. Fawssa, and several other Gentlemen ad dressed the Meeting, and spoke in behalf of the claims of the Charity. An address of thanks having been passed to his Royal Highness, and the Spring Festival appointed, the Meet ing adjourned. DOVER, FEBRUARY 17: -•••■11..- TOR MAtSON Dray, on House OF Goo—Withiri these last few days surveyors have been employed in making plans of this venerable structure, and the lands adjohing it, preparatory to the materials being s and the ground divided into lots for the purpose of electing new buildings on it. The prospect of seeing the demolition of this venerable specimen of ancient al chitectute has alarmed the inhabitants of the town, and must prove a source of regret to every admirer of anti quity ; it has often employeJ the pencil of the artist and the pen of the antiquary ; it is situated at the entrance of the town, on the London road. This magnificent establishment was founded in the reign of King John by Hubert de Burgh, Earl r f Kent, Grand Justiciary of England, and Lord Warden of the Cinque Ports, for several brethren and sisters, who were enjoined to use hospitality to strangers or pilgrims, on their passing through the town. The Church, the exterior of which is still entire, was not erected till the reign of King Henry 111. who was present at the dedication of it in 1227. All the other edifices, except a small building at the east end of the Church, and a part of the park wall, were destroyed, with the other religious houses, in the reign of Henry VIII. Since that period, till the general peace in 1814, the Church and premises, all of which belong to the Crown, have been used for the purpose of brewing and baking, by the victualling department of the Royal Navy. Suould the Government determine to sell them. we hope they will at least spare this in teresting piece of antiquity, whose strength and solidity would defy the ravages of many centuries, and whose destruction would be a poor compliment it, the taste of those who should feel disposed to mutilate it.

At one of the late sittings of the Academy of Sciences of Met; an account was given of a new experiment, in (sults to ascertain the presence of cotton in woollen stuffs. An ounce of pure alkali or caustic is to be dis solved in half a pound of water, and the suspected stuff is to be boiled in it about a couple of hours. If the staff is composed wholly of stool, it will be entirely dissolved, and will f gm a species of soapsuds on the surface of the water, at d should run through a fine sieve when poured into it boiling hot. If, on the con trary, the stuff contains cotton, or other vegetable fibres, they will perhaps undergo some alzeiation ; but they M ill not entirely dissolve, but will remain upon the sieve like the pieces of salts in paper-mils—for alk .li, one of whose properties is to dissolve anim .1 substances, has very little effect upon vegetable ones.—Paris Paper.

It wait again told them, that fifteen minutes would be allowed for opening the doors, but a peremptory refusal was given, foil wed by a discharge of shot from the forge. The poke now fired, and it appears with effect, for one of the party, who recon noitred through the roof, was dropped, and another wounded in the thigh. The fortress was stormed, and the police made prisoners of seven men, and five stand of arms. Others of the party escaped in the confusion. —Limerick Chronicle.

The cargo on board the George was valued at five thousand poundi. It is feared that very little of it will be recovered, as the vessel is a total wreck; three boa es in Worcester, in the grocery line, will sustain losses to the amount of upwards of two thousand pounds.

THE PROTESTANT CAUSE. . One of the most respectable Meetings ever held I•• Yiiik took place on Tuesday. for the purpose of yeti• tioning Parliament against any further concessions t the Roman Catholics. It was called in pursuance of , requisition signed by one hundred and fifty of the prin cipal inhabitants in York, and was held in the large room of the Black Sean. which was completely filled and hundreds sent away who could not pet admission. On the motion of Mr. Sheriff COTTLZ, THos. Pane, Esq. was called to the Chair, and he addressed the Meeting in a very spirited manner. The• first Res•►lution was moved by Norcliffe Nor. cliffe, Esq. and seconded by the Rev. Montague Wyn yard, jun. The second, that a Petition thouid be pre sewed to Parliament, was moved by the Rev. William Richardson, and seconded by Mr. Sheriff Clark. The third, for the adoption of the Petition, which was brief but appropriate, was moved by Henry Hewgill, Esq. and seconded by Mr. George Brown. The fourth, that l it should be presented to the Lords by Lord Feversham, and to the Commons by JamesWilson.E q. was moved by W. Grieve, Esq. and seconded by Mr. W. C. Staf ford. The fifth and sixth Resolutions, which mesely related to the mode of publishing the proceelings, exc. were moved and seconded respectively by the Rev. J. B. Graham, Mr. William Richardson, Mr. Sneriff Cottle, and Mr. North. The thanks of the Meeting to Thorns' Price, Esq. for his conduct in the Chair, was then moved by M..Hewlay Graham, and seconded by Mr. J. lt. ler, and carried I by acclamation. Three cheers tullowed ; and one cheer more" for Lord Eldon •as called fur, and given with the most heatty good will. Sn spirited a Meeting was never before held in York on this su , sj-cr. The decla , ation of Mr. Peel, that the Constitution of 1688 is to be broken in upon has roused the feelings of the Protestants of that city; and if their petition to Parliament should be of no avail, they will carry their sentiments to the foot of the Throne itself. MEETING IN SHOREDI ICH PARISH. Yesterday evening a Meeting was held in the Parish Church of St. Leonard, Shoreditch. to take into con sideration the propriety of petitioning Parliament opon the subject of the measures about to be introduced by his Majesty's Ministers, for the repeal of the laws affect ing the Roman Catholics.—Mr. Ltr w, an elderly pa rishioner of respectability, was called to the Chair. Mr. GAIT proposed a sr rtes of resolutions, upon which a petition had been prepared in readiness to be submitted to the meeting, to the effect that the petitioners viewed with feelings of alarm any measures for relieving Romans Catholics from their civil disabilities. and praying of the Legislature to preserve inviolate the British Constitution of 1688. the admiration of the world ; and which they believed would be endangered by any measures of con cession to the Catholics. An amendment was moved, to the effect that liberty' of conscience was the birth-right of eves y British sub ject; and the Duke of Wellington and his colleagues, in the Council of his Majesty, were entitled to the thanks of the country, for the introduction of measures calcu lated to unite all clas-es of hes Maje-ty's Itojects. A number of speakers on either side of the question, afterwards addressed the Meeting, and the discussion was kept up between four and five flows, with all the warmth of feeling and confusion commonly attendant upon the discussion of this esciing subject. The CHAIRMAN proceeded to put the Amendment, and afterwards the original Resolution, but he declared that the show of hands appeased to him Ls nearly equal that be could not decide which Si le had the ma jority. The opposing past es teased int., the porch, and counted the numbers of each as they se-entered the Church, and when he resumed the Chair, he announced the numbers for the original Res.4lu t ((( 149. and fir the Amendment 65. The d. cision was tailed with cheers by the majority. A Petition, founded on the Resolution, in the names of the Ministers, Chinch wardens, Sc. of the Pa i.h, was then adopted, to be presented to the House of Lords by E srl Eldon, and to the Commons by Mr. Moore, after which, at a late hour, the Meeting dispersed. SUMMARY OF POPERY. FROM Tilt PROTICSTANT wmertaa—No. I. Papery teaches that the Church of Rome is the only true Church ; that, as the true Church, she has the power of working miracles and uttering prophecies; and that out of her pale is no salvation. Popery teaches that an Papists, b.ing in the true Church; are blessed, and must be saved; a►d that all Protestants, being here tics and out of the Church, are accursed, and must be damned. Popery teaches that the Church of Home possesses an lariat:mat less stock of merits, which she can sell, at varied prices, fur Malta. geom.., and for the pardon of sins. past, present, and to come. Popery teethes that the Pope, as successor of &. Peter, as the vicar of Clouse, and as another Gon on earth, can lock and unlock the portals of Heaven ~ C.lll shut and open the gates of hell. Popery teaches tbat the Pope can eicumniunicato and depose heretical Kings, can absolve their subjects (runt oaths of allegiance, can authorise absolved subjects to murder deposed Kings, and can give away their kingdoms to whom he will. Popery teaches that mi mot must judge for himself in religion, but. on peril of damnation must receive his creed from the Church of Rome, and implicitly believe as the Church believes. Popery teaches that the Holy Scriptures are not suirmient for salvation without the tradition of the Church, and that these tradi tions are of equal validity with the in•pired Scriptures. Popery teaches that no man can understand the Holy Scriptures without the instructioa of a Popish Priest, and that every Popish Priest must interpret the Scriptures according to the meaning of the Church of Rom.. Popery teaches that the indiscriminate reading of the Holy Scrip. cures is forbidden, and that such reading Is highly dangerous. Popery teaches that all sins, even of desire and imagination, must be coufessed to a Popish Priest, and that every Popish Priest has power to pardon sins. Popery teaches that it is not necessary to understand our prayers, and that prayer must be made in an unknown torque. Popery teaches that there are seven sacraments, and that all sacraments confer grace. Popery teaches that we must worship lb. Images of Craw, of the Virgin Mary, and of the blessed Saints; that we must adore the holy angels, venerate relics, and bow before mosses. Popery teaches that saints ad angels intercede and mediate for us With Gun, that we must pray to saints and angels, and that we must pray for the dead. Popery teaches that a wafer, when consecrated by a Popish Priest, is not merely changed into k the actual body and blood of Crass; but into the eternal Goo himself; and must be, when lifted up as the eternal Goo, worshipped and misted. Popery teaches that Prie sts must not marry; that laymen must I cwt partake of the cup in the Lord's Supper; and that wither Priest nor layman must, or certain days, mete of certain meats. Popery teaches that purgatory is a place where souls of bad enough for hell, not good enough for heaven, may, by fire, be purged from their sins; and that out of this purgatorial fire sods may, by masses and prayers, duly performed, and tidy pilfer. be delivere d. Popery teaches that faith needs not be kept with heretics; and that evil may be committed for the good of the Church. Finally, Popery teaches that the Church of Rome is infallible.-- that she cannot err—and therefore cannot change; her boast and her glory is, that she is "always the same.* Such are the doctrines of Popery. They are contrary to Scrip sure, to reason, and to scow. How, then, can any man who km the use of his senses, 'of his understanang, and of his Bible, believe , them? Or how can any right-minded Protestant patronise Popery, or give political power to men whose principles are so demoralis ing and so intolerant—so persecuting and so blasphemous?
