The Report which lisd been pre pared was necesaarily so long, that lie would not detain the coin. p tar by making any preliminary remarks. The inten.ion of the (' anntittee was to stiggest the! their Report eliould be printed and gmerally circulated throughout the country. and that a further Ge rent( treting 'tumid be hell six weeks or two months hence, for taking the Report into consideration, after every person interested ; the sul.ject itch made himself master of the various matters it contained. and was prepared to vote either for its adoption or rejec ton , an hie judgment should incline bin,.

It was also very int. portant to know that the private opinion of Al , . Grant was to that effect. A copy of the Report had been lid before the ll•fard. and it was with the highest gratification that the Committee could state that the propositions contained is it were not only deemed by tee Board to be of a very proper nature, but also that an assurance vi been given that the most (medial support would be afforded by a, Majesty's Government for the enrryire, this system icto effect, provided it should be approved of at a general meeting of tho.e pe-sons whose interests it would in attywi.e airect.

The (:aLua:4.SX aside was a clatter of indifreredce whether the Committee were properly chosen or not at present. The object of .the Alee:ing was to receive the Report, in order that every Gentle man might read and consider It in his closet. At the next Sleeting it would be competent fur Mr. Urquhart to propose whatever amendment he pleased. Mr. MAnSTI at.t. then addressed the 3lecting, In reply to part of the observations made by Mr. Urquhart. The Cuatastan wished to say two words. Whether they con sidered him as their Representative. as their Chairman, or at a mercantile man, In whatever character he appeared, he must de clare that, in his opinion, the mercantile body were, both collectively and individually, ranch indebted to the Com mittee. for the labour, the intelligence, the impartiolity, and the shility they had shown In drawing up this Report ; and that they deserved the very best thanks of every man in:erested in the ship. pingo!' this country. With respect to the Committee, whether well composed Drill composed, the parties who furm:d it were not to blame, hut those who appointed them. It was of a self-notni noted Commilee. The Resolution was then put and carried unanimously. Mr. Elva at DGE (the gentleman who has for • lung time devoted his time and fortune to the Inspection of our navy and merchant ships, the result of which ruts impressed him with a conviction that the maritime glory of Great Britain is about to fall under the In glorious attack of the dry rot) now rose to address the Meeting, but after several attempts to convince the gentlemen present that the subject he was about to introduce was of vital importance to the very existence of this country, and demanded their instant and undivided-attention, they could not be prevailed upon to give him a hearing, notwithstanding the Chairman put the question to the vote, and Mr. Burrldge himself begged and implured of them to allow him to proceed. _ _ _ A Resolution. that a copy of the Report should be sent to the different ports of the kingdom, was then put end agreed to. The thanks of the Meeting was then voted to the Committee, for thrir able Report, and fur the lebour which they had bestowed upon it. Mr. MARSHALL then proposed a vote of thanks to the Chair. man, in dine. which he alluded to the circumstance of that gen,le inan being a bout to withdraw himself fro.n the representation of the City of London in Parliament, and passed a high eulogitim on his talents and integrity as a rublic man, and on his mural cha racter in private life. . _ The Citsinsisa shortly returned thanks, and the Illceting separated. RE port. of the Committee of Merchants. Shipowner., and Un. derariters of London, and of the Representatives of the prin cipal Out-ports in Great Britain, appointed on the 22d Jan. II:2d, to collect the fullest infornostion on the subject of the system at present pursued in the classification of merchant shipping in the remstty books at Lloyd's, and to consider and report to 'subsequent General Meeting, such alteration, in the present system, and to suggest such rules and regulations for the future classification of Shipping. as they might consider exnedient ; with their opinion as to the best mode of raising a Fund adequate to meet the expenses of conducting the system recommended for adoption. In undertaking the perto mance of duties so extensive and im portant as those involved in their appointment, your Committee were prepared to encounter much difficulty, labour, and anxious consideration ; It was not, however, till they had actually igaged in the investigation, filet the full extent of the inquiries it com prehended became apparent, or that they were aware of the time that must unavoidably elapse before they could be enabled to pre sent a Report in any degree satisfactory to themselves, or likely to prove available to the great object of their appointment. Whether their labours may lead to any improvement of the system, the de fects and errors of which prompted the general dissatisfaction from which the inquiry originated, they presume not to anticipate ; but while the Report they now ofra will afford sufficient proof that it is to the extended nature of their Investigations, and not to any remissness In the discharge of their duty, that the long protraction of tl.e inquiry must be attributed, they feel confident that it will be found at least to supply materials for correct conclusions on the sub ject of the classification of merchant shipping, at once authentic, in westing, anti valuable. Determined, from the commencement of their investigation, that on a subject on which so many conflicting opinions had been ex premed, and so much prejudice excited, no conclusions should be admitted but such as should be founded on the strong authority of evidence, - mpartially selected and attentively examined, your Committee spared no effort to obtain from every quarter inte rested in the inquiry, or postwasing information calculated to eluci date it, such testimony as should at once justify their recommend.. thins, end command public reatect the concurrent readiness with which their applications have been received, has afforded them the advantage of obtaining the invaluable evidence and opinions of the Commissioners and Surveyors of his Majesty's Navy; of the Master-builder of his Majesty's Dock-yard, Deptford •, the prin cipal Surveyor of Shipping to the Honourable East India Com. pony; the Surveyors to the existing registry books; the Ship owners' Societies at Livia:pool. Hun, Sunderlattl, Whitchsven, and Yarmouth ; and of a considerable number of most respectable, impartial, and intelligent Shipawnera Brokers, Agents to Under wriiers, Shipbuilders, and where, whose long experience, high character, and extensive practical knowledge, convey abundant assurance that, a ha:ever may be the general opinion as to the re commendations framed on their testimony by the Comtn:ttee. the evidence itself must stand far beyond the reach of impeach ment or suspicion. (To be continued to-morrow.) EQUIT.4BLE ASSURANCE COMPANY. Yesterday • Quarterly General Court of the above Society, was held at their house in Chathirti.nlace, at E even o'clack precisely. •• • . • Sir in AHLT.9 MOROAN, Ihn. in the Chhir. As aonn'as the usual routine business of the Court was dis posed of Mr. Po'esrDien rose to move, pursuant to a notice given at the last Quarterly General Court, " That in future the claims dust upon policies be paid at the period of three months from the time when the death of the party assured shall have been proved to the satisfaction of the Count <of Directors', lastead of the period of ail months. as at present practised.'' Ile was. he said, perfectly aware that a similar mica of motion had once betore been given ; and that it had been subsequently withdrawn by the Member oho had given it ; but he was not then aware that the Court of Direc tors had taken the subject into their consideration, and reported that such a measure was inadvisable. Since then he had read that Report. and was not at all prepared to come to the same conclusion as the lion. Mens'• r, or to act as he had done by withdrawing his motion. No person had a greater respect than he had for the Di rectors, and he could assure them that nothing was further front his thoughts than to create opposition to their opinions merely for oppeahion 'sake. No body of men did their duty with greater credit to themselves, or with greater advantage to these for who.n they acted, and be might add, with worse remuneration, than the Dittman...oldie Equitable Assurance Society. !laving thus. belyed, get himself right with them as to waiters .if feei...g, lie should pro- ceed at once to the moat impurtact part of his argument, in order to save the time of the Court. and, to use a vulgar :triage, to take the bull by the horns at once. The Don. Gentleman then read an ea tract from the Report of the Director., which stated, that if the term were ahottened from six months to three. in the manner pro pe.ed, a loss of at least &WV. per annum must be sustained, inas much as larger balances niust be retained in the hands of the Bank, the interest of which would be lost to the Society. The Directors therefore deemed it advisable to persevere in the yresem practice, as the alteration most prove liujurious to the individual members, as well as to the l•haiiety itself,. Ile (Mr. Poytuden did not think it at all unlikely, nor had lie the stighteat difficulty in mg:oising that the prniits reaiized in this way might amount to Zi..0001. per annum. But what he would contend was this, that it was not a fair source from whence an Equitable Society should derive its profits. (Much Cheering.) lie should eland upon that ground, if he thought that the Report of the Directors emit! be supported, but he 'lid not think that it could be supported. The Director. laboured under an impression that there was a separate interest existing between the Society and its in.licidual members, whets in fact duce was 11A suelt distinction in an INititahle Society such ae theirs, the individuals tieing all members of the Society, and alluring in its profits and levies. The Society could gain tioiliing by the longer period, when Its principles were that of mutant mattrance. Thin therefore was a palpable fallacy ; but independent of this, he would enotead that it was an unjust sourceofg till, and ought therefore to be abandoned. It might br said they were warranted in the present practice by the deed of policy , awl that might Le true enotigh t but they were not warranted la it by the deed of corporation. It might Rita be said that they could not altet their bye laws to such an ea tent ; but they bad altered them in cases 'if 'suicide, and of dtath beyoual ace, and would continue to do so, he trusted, whenever such alteration should clearly be for the better. (Hear, heat.) Ile recollected a man (alr. Till, we believe), who used in that room to stand with his back to the wall at the bottom of the room, and always wore a huge cocked hat and buckles, the dress of the preceding century. until he was at last laughed out of them, and appeared ih the improved cot. tome of the motlans. (A laugh.) The Directors stated that there was no inconvenience resulting front the present prattler, and that where money was required in shorter periods than the six months. it was given upon the deduction of a discount. Now Le would ask what could possibly justify the deduction of a discount in eases where the property was the actual vested right of the party claim ing against the Society (cheers) ; and in many instaeces those eleimaate were but badly able to air .rd such a lose, and as little able to do without the money. lie would m‘atinn one such ease, lest icelmuld be supposed that he was putting an imitein.try one ; a etre which was so creditable to the gentleman concerned, that delicacy would have sealed his (Mr. Poylider's) lips upon the sub ject, but that the gentleman was then absent from the room. This gentleman was lett executor to a person whale life was assured in their Society to the amount of 3'lool. The circumstances of the family were peculiarly distressing; but still not feeling Platifiei is a !eking the loss of the tquanitit , he actually paid ihe 3,0001. out of - his own pocket, and waited the espitation of the six month' to reimburse Aimed!. (Much cheeting.) Ilow was it' possible that the Society should be able to unow witst were oe were not cases of distress? The fact was, that in this 'solid roan kind knew but little of each ether's distresses. At all events, the claimants had a vested right to the money, and no Society' way jus titled in imposing any further delay than was absolutely necessary. I (Hear, hear.) Three months was ample time to make such M. quiries as truuW preclude the possibility of fraud. Another ergo- melt which nad been used in the Report was, that there were but few cases in which people sought to get their money upon the limy client of the discount. Surely this was taking advantage of their own wrong. They first fixed a distant period fi;ir payment, and be cause parties did nut ask for it sooner, at the loss of the discount, they assumed that there were few r ases 10 which having it at an rally period could be an object. (Hear, hear.) It might be true tlitt the Directors had heard of few compl.kiuts . upon the subject, THE BRITISH PRESS. because nothing in the world was so silly as fo complain, when there was nor the slightest prospect of a remedy. The argument was also advanced, that certificates of death were generally delayed for three weeks or a month before they were sent in to the Society, and (hetet - ore there could be but little ground for supposing that there were luny cases of immediate necessity. This argument was extremely futile, for motives of delicacy alone would . operate to prevent people tram advancieg their claims within leas sums third of which, it might be ohserved, elapsed prior to the interment. The Report also contended, that there could be no hardship is the case, because it was melee months before the executors were called upon to pay die creditors of the estate. This Mg*. meat was so lawyer-like, that he could hardly imagine that his worthy trivia. Mr. Morgan, had had any share in drawing up the Report. But he would ask, at one*, was that any argu ment at all ? or ■hoist' the slightest weight be accorded to it, in regulating the administration of the affkirs of the Society ? He would next proceed to stare the practice of other oPI-es, although he did not mean to rest his srgiiment upon their proceedings. The time at which the London Life Assurance paid their policies was three moailis, and the same petited governed the payments of the Guar. lien, the Imperial. the Globe, the Rock, the Law Assurance, the Pelican. the London Assurance, the Surrey and Sussex, die Union, the Norwich, and the Colonial Assurance Offices; the United Em pire in three months; the Royal Exchange immediately; end the Albion in one month. He had also discovered that there were two others which paid in six months—one was the Economical (immense laughter), the other the Clerical. There was also the Medical, which plaid in six months ; but he hid received a letter recently from ore of the Directors, who deemed the practice extremely hard, and declared it to be his intention to have it altered. if possible, to three months. He was sorry to have detained the sleeting so long, ( Hear, hear.) but he was wholly disinterested in the subject at issue. lie merely stood there to plead the cause of the weak, arid he hoped he would not be allowed to plead in vain. Though many of those gentlemen whom he had then the honour of addressing were cleft. end though it would be no hardship upon their executors to await the appointed time of six months, yet he entreated that they would consider that there were others not so fortunately tie cumstanced—others who laboured under the severest pressures, and to whom in justice and in equity they were bound to concede the boon which he required at their hands, lie trusted confidently that they would grant him their support, and that he might not be mor tified i'y the reflection that he had mom! up in that room to plead the cause of justice and homanite, anti had pleaded it in vain. The lion. Member then sat d6wn amidst loot;-continued cheers. A MEMBER, whose name we could not !urn, seconded the motion. Mr. BUSIINF. r. T. said that the lion. MemherlMr. Poynder) had favoured them with copious extracts front 'he Report of 1823. He understood. however, that the Directors had reconsidered the sub. jeer since the notice of the present motion had been given, aed he wished to ask what were their opinions at the present moment ? The CII Ain 31A Ti said that the Directors had reconsidered the question, and had prepared a Report upon the subject. hits filnettEdt. said. that in that Court the Directors were merely itniivititials. ever whom the Court was paramount. Mr. Bestir:Ede said that it was regular to ask the opinion of the executive body. 31r. iltutlll3.l.—Then you had better move that the Report be reed. !be Rev.lllr. Srtr PH AN n thought it would be indelicate not to read the Report of the Directors ; independent of which, if they did not do so, they would be going to the question, as it were, blind fold. 11r. Comer. tr. then moved that the Report, be read. Mr. SWEET thought it would be indecorous to the individual wad made the motion . to seek to influence the Meeting by reading I the Report of the D irectors, to which many persons would be likelZ to defer,without calling in the aid of their own judgment and understanding. The motion for reading the Report was finally withdrawn upon the rugeestion of Mr. JONES. who said that it was not the desire of the Dire-one to ioffuence the 31eeting by the expression of their opinions. They were not by any means anxious to obtrude their opinion—they were equally peel:owed to give, or to withhold it, at m the °kt of the heeling itself. There could , however, he no ob jection to his stating the facts upon which the opinion was founded, without at all expretairee what that opinion was. The view taken by the Directors of the question was very correctly stated by the lion. Member, who had made the motion; but lie could not agree in the correctness of his observation.. It was true certainly that the question was not one between the Directors and the Proprietors; it wan simply whether the adoption of the proposed alteration would be ndvantsgcous to the Society. It should, amongst other things, be taken into consideration, that all their calculations were made for twelve months ; and it would therefore be desirable to preserve the present practice, as six months was a medium . periud. It should also be cuneidered whether it could be done consistently with their deed. It was true that in most caws discount was taken when the period wan curtailed; but the Directors would foil the necessity of ordering payment without any discocut, shot a strong case wis made out to authorize such a pro ceeding. If the Court, however, wished to make the alteration, the D recurs had not the Wig:nest eitectian. The Report con tended that there we no actual necessity, generally %peaking, upon the part of the claimants; for a much greater period was generally suffered to 'elapse than three weeks before the money was de. mended. even atter the expiration of the six months. Besides, it should be known to the Proprietors, that the extent of Os:lap:at; which would be sacrificed by the propelled alteration was notch greater than was estimated i n the Report of 1n23. Then they were eupptised to he only 5.0001., whereas now the difference which the interest would yield forehe three months, would amount to 7.0001. Thin wan a large annual sum to give up; but the Director* bad tin wieh whatever to ir RUCOM their proceedings. Mr. SWEET said, that lie was surprised that such an expression should have found its way into the Report, as that executors wile oat called upon by law to pay debts until after the expiration of twelve months. This was rot the ease, for they were allowed twelve months to pay all debts due of, and to receive all debts due to, the estate ; so that they are bound to pay debts as soon as they shall have property sufficient fnr that purpose in their hands. Thus the law, with respect IT executor+. so fur from being in favour of the opinion maintained by the Report, was directly opposed to it. There were, however, two parties in the case, one of which must lose In proportion to the gain of the other. If the interest were in this way subtracted. the benefit wculd be entirely given to the old Proprietors, at the expense of the new, who could partake of it in no way whatever. This was a difficulty which he hoped the lion. 31ember would grapple with in his witty, as he believed it had not been at all adverted to in the course of pia arguments. Mr. RAY expressed a hope that the Proprietors would not suffer themselves to be led by their feelings, in direct opposition to facts. Their objcet was, of course, that their families might be benefited to the greatest poerible extent ;and in order to do this they should not abolish such a source of profit, as the sum saved by the diffe rence of the discount would bear no proportion to the gain of each individual by the continuance of the present system. ,This would become immediately apparent to any gentleman who would take the trouble of trultii.g the calculation. Sir. POT N DER then replied ; and in doing so, declined to enter upon that portion of 31r. Joiirs'a speech relative to six months being a proper medium period. because the insurances were calcu lated by the year. This he did because of the length into which he must inevitably be led by such calculations. lie was of opinion that the manner in which risks were calculated way not right ; fin the charges were undue beyond all chances of risk, not in that Society merely, but in all others. Ms Jones said, that the Director's, in any case of hardship, would feel the necessity of re linquieffing the discount. To this lie would reply by asking, if they could adduce a single met in which they hail ever done so ? lie also stated that the sum to be sacrificed was 7,001. per annum now, although in 1823 it was only 5.0001. To this he (31r. Pow der would reply—so much the better ; for the increase front that source proved that they could the better afford it, inasmuch an such increase was tine necessary consequeice of an increase of business. (Cheers.) He would sally say in conclusion, that he felt confident his motion must be successful, founded as it was in justice and equity. 'file motion was then pot from the Chair, and carried by an immense majority; after which the Court adjourned. DRITISII C.-17'1101,1C ASSOCIATIOV. The Annual Meeting of t h is Association was held yesterday at the Crown and Anchor Tavern, and wax very respectably, although rot numerously a:tended. There were present the Duke of Nor folk; Lords stall rd and Ile Clifford ; the llonourabtra Mr. Jerm ingliarii, Mr. Clifford, Philip S.ourion. and ledward Pelee; Sir ward Blount, Sir William (leveed, Sir Edward Smyth, and Sir Henry Tiehboume ; with several gentlemen of distinction. At two o'clock the Doke of Nottinaw took the chair, aril pro carded to address the Meeting. Al:hough they bad not appeared before Parlianicut this year, yet be congratulated therCatholics that their cause was not declining. Notwithstanding the strange taps of hergeant Wirth. and of a gentlemen who We a candidate for Stall:my (Mr. Wilks). yet he tuts convinced that the cause was hot retregtoling. Alach grand had been effected by the circuit thin of trots and pamphlets, which explained their intentions, and conciliated opini ins ;of chit he could speak from experience. He had seen a letter from a gent/omen of the name of Fisher, of St. lee*. who stated that ail in that county had been averse to the Ca 'Wirt, tint that a great change to opinion had taken place ; it iintl been thought expedient to have an exposition of the tenets of tile Roman Catholic Cicrgy, systematically drawn up; and it was one object of the present Meeting to take that exposition into email , &ration, and to unction it by adoption in smelt a way as to inereatie its elfal erect on the community. The Report of the Committee was then read. The Dim. EDWARD PETHE, in moving that the Report he edopted, felt it his duty to make some observations. Ile coligratu -I,ted the Cathaca on the disappearance of prejudices, of which his Noble Friend had adduced one instimce, end he could offer many more. The tracts which they (Inseminated l•ad contributed in di ininisn opposition ; but still more had been effected by their Male ration and calmness in answering the attacks of their enemies. (Ap plause.) Ile exhorted them to persevere in the eante temperive course, and to set an example of the conduct which they wished to be observed to„„rda them. Ile would how make two remarks, which were elicited by the Report. In the first place, it had been deemed inexpedient to have the Catholic gitestioa discussed in rm.. liament this year; the petition was presented, but they had left it to the discretion of those tried advocates who had so often before sup ported the Catholic Cause in Parliament to postpone the discussion, if it appeared expedient to du so. 111 the Second place, with regard to the declaratioo of their Pirate-Apostolic, it was to be hailed with pleasure, as a document containing a direct negative to all the ten. sores anti charges which had been heaped on the Catholics through out the country. The British Catholics were charged with enter taining a pretended right to the properly of the Eatablished Church in Loglancl. But what was the reply of the Catholic Clergy to this chime t They said. "We consider such • charge to be totally without foundation ; are declare that we entertain pretensions to no suet claim. We regard all the revenuei and temporalities of the Church Establishment as the property of Clone on whom they are settled by the taw of the land. We disclaim any right. title, or pretension with regard to the came." (Applause.) No word. could more explicitly declare the falsehood of the accusation. lie congratulated the Association on the reduction of its debt. and hoped that the Secretary would be ei:abled to renew his exertions. lie begged to psy his iribdte to the ladies who 11441 came fotward to further the objects of .he Ativvistion. lie wnjkl again ceirjure the Catholics to persevere in the mutterate course 'stitch they bad begun. Their moderation would hosure them the support of a free and independent Prras—of the great, good, and wive, es well u liberal ; and what was the most nrcesvary of all to their ultimate success, the good opi.sion of the people of England. Mr. Quist seconded the motion. Althouh there were not so many present as he had expected to find, yet' he did not despair, an much did he enclitic in the sense of justice prevailing in this country and its the increavingenlightenment of society, slim he had no more doubt that the present generation would see the Catholics tree, thatithat summer st.uld follow spring. He would not despair offer the frequent diactpeduna the question" had undergone in the House of Commons. where the down of hope had enlarged till it filled the whole horizon. lie could not despair. while he %AM the nobility of their Hotly stationed in their proper place, antl occupying the vanguard, (Applause.) dignifying the Meeting with their pre. settee, and cheering it with their approbation; or while he saw there the flower of young nobility preparing to follow in the tracks of their fathers, ■nd to guide the Citt:witca in their temperate, though ardent, ar.d he trusted indomitable, pursuit of freedom. Mr. BLOUNT. the Secretary, then entered into a brief statement of theaecuants of the Association. The annual charge of a Oak and apartments 'rue 2401.; every meming, including advertisements, cost 251. • and the preparation of every petition to Parliament cost 1001. lle then proceeded to read some letters, which chewed the grind resulting from the exertions of the Association. Titter levers chewed that the Catholic cause was gaining ground ; the contrary night appear to be true; but a great distinction was to be made between public opinion and public prejudices. Ile would cite one Instance in proof of his assertion: at a meeting of mechanics in the town of Birmingham, a 'him time ago, at which 400 were present, the question of Catio •'c emancipation was put to the vote, and only 13 voted against it. (Applause.) A few years ago, such an incident was impossilie. He was sorry lie was obliged to proceed to a business by no means PO pleasant. He alluded to an aitack which had been made in one of the public prints on bard Arundel. It had been stated that he had turned away a set rant, because he was not a Catholic; if his Lordship had done in, he would Lave acted like toe Protestant gentlemen of this country. who refused to take Catholics Into their service; but in truth the charge was a manifest falsehood, and was made, not on Lord Arundel. but on every individual present. Such charges always tell back on those who made them ; but lie would tirocerd to mention ode cireum mance : there was a Noble !eon' trot then present, who had large estates in the enemy if Limerick, in Ireland, and all whose tenantry were Protestants, yet tnet Sable Lord had never dismissed any of his tenants hecatise they were Protestants. Ile also regretted tht the pulpit, fruit which notlihig ou,:lit to proceed but words of pc3c., and charity, had condescended to libel and traduce the intentions of the Catholic body. Mr. LonDY observed, that the Secretary had omitted to men tion the effects of one 114: tract —s Serninti on Faith, Hope, and Charity, which bud at once gained over 200 converts to the Catholic cause. The motion was then put. and carried unanimously. Lord DE CitFronD rose for the purpose of proposing a vote of thanks to the Carlndic Prelates who had drawn up the declaration. He was not disposed to despair because the :Bering was not nu merous. 'I hough nothing appeared to have been done during the last year. yet in reality much had been done. Though prejudices might appear to be against the Catholics, yet there was a silent progress in their favour, as had been well stated by his lion. Friend. The declaration which he held in his hand had arisen from the necessity of refuting calumny. He regretted that neces sity, because he regretted that their oaths, and their blood shed for their country, were all In vain. But it was their duty as Christians to bear els with patience : they had truth on their side, and would necessarily triumph. The preamble of the declaration contained his own sentiments; he should not therefore enlarge upon it.. Ile would conclude by exhorting the !Inman Catholics never to give up their civil rights. Some called them concessions, and not tights, but he believed them to be rights. (Loud applause.) Lord STAFFORD seconded the motion. The resolution was then read. Resolved,—That this . General Association respectively receive the declaration of the Catholic Bishops, the Vicars Apostolic, and their coadjutors in Great Britain, as an exposition of our principles and doctrines on the subjects to which it refers ; and hereby tender to their Lordships our most sitvare thanks for the pron.ptitude with which they have framed and signed it, in order to meet the urgency of our present circumstances." Dr. Cot.r.ties that the declaration wart irrevocable. it was nos so much a declaration of the Vicars Apostolic of Great Britain as an authentic repetition of tenets, sanctioned by ages, which had clan the sanction of the Irish Hierarchy, whose declaration was in respects similar. The time, mole, and form, of the declaration might be subject to the revision of higher ecclesiastical authority ; but the substance of the doctrines was irrevocable. Witch a doctrine was preached, taught, or promulgated, by an Episcopal authority. without any reclamation on the part of the Church, it be came, or rather it was proved to be, the doet.ine of th it Chuteh, and no utthority of the Church could condemn it, lie would retoark, that although they assumed no right as a lay body to lodge of the doctrines issued by an Episcopal authority, yet that it, all matters of a civil nature they were all competent to state their tenets with out any reference to the clergy. The resolution was then catried unanimously. Lord Csorrotter then moved that the Address of the Roman Catholics to their Protestant fellow-countrymen should be read. It was read accordingly at full length ; after which his Lordship one to propose that the Address should be signed by the persons then present. Mr. Lunme thought that the Address might be improved by some verbal alterations as well as by some additions. He though it might be advisable to add some account of the laws de herdic° combinendo. He would therefore move to refer the Address to an adjourned Meeting, next Thursday. Mr. Wire begged leave to offer a few observations to the Meet ing, on the intended motion of Mr. Luddy. The principal utility of the declaration would he lost, if it were not dispersed previous to the election. The Parliament was shout to be dissolved, and new writs were in preparation; if they waited, theteffire, a week longer, they would lose their object. That consithration, it appeared to him, *decided the question of adjsurnmeot. With re , greet to verbal alterations, they also might prove a fertile source of difficulties and delay. He should opo use the motion altogether. The Hon. E. PETRE and 3lr. ROSSON expressed themselves adverse to delay. Mr. Fit eerc it was of opinion that it would be better to revise carefully a paper which appeared to be of some moment to all, but which contained several objectionable passages ; but his prin. cipal objection to the indecent hurry which characterised the pro ceeding (disapprobation) was that the haste was urged principally by the person who drew up the Address. Mr. BLOUNT begged to interrupt Mr. French, merely to ask him who drew it up ? Mr. Fnescu—t` I do not think myself bound to answer that question, but I will any that it is not yours." Mr. BLOUNT—" Then I am sorry to say that it was I who drew it up (great laughter), and I will feel obliged to any gentl e .. man who will offer any alteration." Mr. FRENCH was happy to find thatfit was drawn up by a sin cere friend to the Catholic cause. There were some itt whom he could not place the same confidence: Afler a few observations from Doctor Cott INS and Mr. Mr. Luddy's motion was put and negatived. Mr. LUDDV then endeavoured to effect • postponement till Saturday, but was equally unsuccessful. The original motion was then put and carried. Mr. BLOUNT then proceeded to read over the names of the Committee for the ensuing year. A motion of Mr. LIT /MY'S., that the meetings of the Committee should be open to any member who night cheese to attend, was agreed to. In consequent,e of sore- observations of Mr. French on a mem her of the Committee (Mr. Siliertop), the meeting becams a sent* of the greatest ufro.tr and disorder we ever witnessed. The Chair man reprobated Mr. French's cuoduct in the severest teens; and some motions arising out of the discossian, he refuotel to put them, declaring that he was disgusted with the conduct of the meelog. A motion for the expulsion of Mr. French was submitted, but was subsequently withdrawn. After tranquillity was in some measure restored, the thanks of the Association were voted to the Secretary, Mr. Illount, who briefly returned thinks. Lord DE CI.IFrORD moved the thanks of the Meeting to the Noble Cbaiiman, Ilia Grace the Diet*. of Norfolk. The Duke of NORFOI.K•W Is highly gratified with the opprobar tion of the meeting. lie hoped that they would meet again untie better auspice., and th it what lied taken place this day would be fOrgtV/en. (Applause.) The SEcaEretnir called the attention of the meeting to the book which was lying open for subscriptions, and in which about XX, was subscribed. The meeting then broke up. NATIONAL ACIIOOI.

It having been discovered, by private information received by 31r.

It was on Wednesday last discovered that that night was dew+ mined on for its completion, when arrangements were wade. and a party of police in disguise, with Messrs. Crossley and Healy, were secretly introduced into the house at intervals, during the even*.ag, where they were received by Mr. L. Cotter, who bad been pieeloissly there for chat purpose. -Between the Lours of ten and eleven o'clock a loud rap was heard ;:t the hall door; a semi le servant inquired whu was there ? when a person answered, " he wanted to deliver a note to the lady of the house. The servant was told (in a whisper by the party inside) to open the door, when two of the robbers, well armed, rushed into the room where the ladies were sitting, and in the must terrific manner ordered the candles to be put out. Thitugh it had been the intention to allow the entire party of robbers to enter, with the hope of effectually breaking up this noted gang, yet, from the s.irrige manner of the persons who first cams in, and from an apprehension of the personal safety of the family, the officers of pace, and Mr. Cotter, who were nearest the spot, rusheil forward, when the ruffians, on observing thous, fired, and stir t;ly 'rounded 3lr.

Immediately a desperste struggle commenced, in which the pieties reached the hail, when the other three police, who had been am:toned at remote parts of the house, joined them; by this time the lights in the hall had been eativguiahed, and the ace , e became dreadful In the exireire, both from the darkness that prevailed. the en:oke of the several shots that had been eachatigrit, and the contending parties not being able to (newt.. guish each other.
