Sta,—The misrepresentation first propagated by an Ho nourable and Learned Member of Parliament, distinguished fa his rancorous hostility to the colonies on all occasions, with respect to the time the Bishop of Jamaica had been in the Island when be made his first report to the Secretary of State, having, according to the usual system of the anti-colonial party, been now assumed as Jact (see the Times of this morning), it may perhaps be well to inform the public, that the Rev. Prelate arrived in Jamaica on the 11th of February, and that his report is dated the 12th of March ; so that instead of having been only ten days in the island, as stated by the honourable and accurate au thorities referred to, he had been there above a month. While I :m on this subject, I hope I may be permitted to ark how it happened that all the Members of Adminis tration remained silent when such virulent and unfounded invectives were applied to the sacred officer in question, the efficacy of whose functions must entirely depend cn the estimation in w hich the public hold his character?

He then proceeded to explain the great public utility, for the promotion of which the College was founded, and the im portance of its museum of morbid preparations. He expa tiated on the science of medicine, not only ae regarded its individual benefit, hut as tending to promote the advance ment of general science. lie adverted to the art being brought to its present state of perfection by the munificent and extensive assistance (in the way of donation) ix stowed upon it by Royal patronage, and alto to the labours of some of his immortal predecessors in medicine—as Harvey, Rat cliffe. &e. &c. Ae further observed, that to no individual was the high rank of the profession more indebted than to the late Dr. Baillie, to whose memory he raid a most feel ing and impressive tribute of vcneratien, not only as a man of science, but also as a man whose charactea for integrity and worth was so well worthy of imitation. He impres sively exhorted the members of the profession to support the high character which it had attained, and concluded with a pious aspiration that the institution might remain an imperishable monument of public munificence and na tional advantage. The oration was delivered in the most graceful and impressive manner, and was heard with deep and gratified attention. After the ceremony, the company were regaled with a superb cold collation, consisting of every delicacy and the choicest wines. MEMO AND COLOMBIA.—By the treaty entered into between the Republic of Colombia and the Mexican nation, the two Governments bind themselves to act in concert wher ever the political independence or civil harmony of either may be endangered. The 14th, 15th, and 16th articles of this treaty provide for a general assembly of the Plenipo- tentiaries of the American States, as soon as the Govern ments of the other States of America, formerly Spanish, shall have become parties to this league of union. For this purpose, the Colombian Government offers the isthmus Panatnau as a central point for the assembling of these Plenipotentiaries; and the Mexican nation proffers any part of its territory for the same purpose. The object of this assemblage is said to be to constitute a body " which may act as a council in great conflicts, as a point of contact in common dangers, as a faithful interpreter of their pub lic treaties when difficulties occur, and as an arbitrator and conciliator in their disputes and differences."—Americas Paper.

The Humble Petition of !Martin 31oney Cantor, fbrmerly of Char!wood, in the County of Surrey, farmer; but now of Church -street, Stoke Newington, in the County of Middle • sex, butcher, Showetit, Mot in the month of May, in the year of our Lord 1824, your tltri. lost several sheep from their feeding on Lliarlwood That your petitioner immediately commenced ah Active marsh and inquiry for many miles round the neighbourhood of his resi dence, and ultimately dis c o vere d t h at one o r such sheep was in tha aession of a person of the name of William Beale, residibg Betchworth, in the said county of Surrey. That your petitioner thereupon proceeded to the place of he said William Beale's residence, Ind instantly recognised his said sheep, although it was in a fold with others, and had been shorn of Its 'fleece; and he thereupon claimed it of the said William Beale as his property, and required the production of the fleece. which the said William Beale admitted he had himself taken oft; but the said William Beak refused either to Rho* the fleece to your petitioner, or to give up the possession of the said sheep. That your petitioner therefore determined to extibit a charge of felony against the said William Beale; but beings stranger in the neighbourhood, he inquired for the residence of tht nearest magis.l trate, and was directed to William Kenrick, Esq. of Betchworth aferesaid. That tour petitioner immediately proceeded to the house of the said William Kenrick, and saw one George Adams, his butler, who, ascertaining that your petitioner bed a charge of felony to prefer, refused to Introduce him to the said William Kenrick until lb , had communicated all the particulars of such charge, which 'your petitioner was therefore compelled to detail to the said George Adams. That upon you petitioner's introduction to the said Wallah) Kenrick, he repeated the circumstances of his charge against the said William Beale, and requested that the said William Kenrick would grant him a search-warrant in order to enable hint to secure the &ere of his said rheum espreseing hia apprehension. 141. she said 11"illiam Beale would otherwlie destroy or conceal it s in order to prevent satisfactory proof of your petitioner's property. . . . . That the said William Kenrick thereupon began to write some thing on a slip of paper, and the said George Adams having offered him the form of a search -warrant, the said William Kenrick ob.' served, " the note I am writing to Beale will do as well ;" but your petitioner, humbly represe. . ting to him that he was appre ensive that a note would be of little use, as the said William Beale had already refused to produce the fleece, and that he there. fore was anxious to have a search-warrant, the said William Ken. rick became much enraged, expressed his determination not to proceed on the complaint, and ordered your petitioner to quit hi s house. That your petitioner finding that he had no chance of obtaining a search warrant from the said William Kenrick, and being de sirous at all events to secure his property, he submissively re quested the said William Kenrick to finish the note witch he had originally proposed to send to the said William Beale. That the said William Kenrick accordingly wrote such note, and delivered it to your petitioner unfolded ; and which note is in the words following : " These are to request you will deliver to the bearer the fleece of a sheep, admitted to have been taken by you from IVestwood, iu order that it may be produced as evidence before me on a charge of felony, or bring it with you to my house, and 'how cause why you should not do so. " To Wiliam Beale. " W. KENRICK." That after the said William Kenrick had written such note, he inquired of the said George Adams the Christian name of Beale, the person accused, who answered " William, ours is named James" tas your petitioner understood), and your petitioner has since discovered that the word " ours" referred to a brother of the said William Beale, who is in the service of the said William Kenrick u his bailiff: That the said William Kenrick desired your petitioner to deliver the said note to the sa d 14iiliam Beale in the presence of a con stable, but immediately after observed, " you may deliver it your ' self, a constable is unnecessary." Tnat your petitioner accordingly carried the said note to the said William Beale, who refused to receive it, whereupon your peti tioner, in the presence of several persons, read the same to him 4 but the said William Beale treated it with indifference, and stated that he would not give up the sheep, or produce the fleece. That your petitioner discovering that the said note was so utterly ineffectual, and being apprehensive of making another application to the said William Kenrick for a seerch warrant, be went before Imp Burgess, Esq. a Justice of the Peace, residing at Reigate, in the said county of Surrey, who declined to interfere in a charge which had been before another Magistrate, and recommended your petitioner to call again upon the said William Kenrick upon the subject. That your petitioner, in consequence of such advice, returned to the said William Kcnrick, on whose grounds, near his house, your petitioner found the scented person, the said William Beale. That your petitioner MU interrogated by the said George Adams as to the object of his visit ; and having informed him of the said William Beale's disregard of the said note, and of your petitioner's desire, in consequence, to prefer his eheme• slate's trim; the said George Adams informed your peti ioner that the said Vi illiam Kenrick would have nothing further to do in the business, and that he refused to see your petitioner again. That your petitioner expressed his regret that, after the trouble be had taken, and the expense he had incurred, he should be de ,rived of redress, provided as he was with clear evidence to prove the unlawful taking of his property by the said William Beale ; whereupon the said George Adams observed to your petitioaer. that the said William Beale had ►tated that your petitioner had agreed to refer the question of property in the said sheep to a Mr. Cutler, which your petitioner instantly denied, and thereupon the said George Adams requested your petioner to call the said William Beale, who did not repeat such statement, but pressed Your petitioner to refer the matter to Mr. Joseph Nash, who is the land agent of the said William Kenrick, and resides in his neigh bourhood. That your petitioner, despairing of further assistance from the 'said William Kenrick in the investigation of his charge a-sinst the said William Beale. and apprehending from the refu sal of llr. Burgess, that no other 3lagistrate would interfere, and that he was in danger not only of losing his property, but of incurring the im putation of preferring a groundless accusation, he was induced to abandon his charge of felony, and to consent to accompany the said William Beak to the house of toe said Joseph Nash. That the said William Beak having produced to the said Joseph Nash and a Mr. James Pale the fleece of the said sheep, and your petitionh having shown them the fleece of another sheep of your petitioner's, with a corresponding mark, they instantly de. tided that the fleece in the possession ot the said William Beale was the property of your petitioner, and they ordered the said Wil liam Beale to give up the same, together with the said sheep, which he accordir.gly did, and the said Joseph Nash and James Ede gave to your petitioner two notes or certificates of their judg ment on the subject. That your petitioner, having thus obtained his property , and being in the neighbourhood ot the said William Kenrick 's rest. dence, he considered it right to wait upon him, in order to inform him of the result of the investigation, and your petitioner took with him the fleece which had been so restored, and the two notes or cer tificates betbre mentioned. That your petitioner, upon his arrival at the said William Ken- I rick's house, was shown into a room in which the said William' Kenrick and the said George Adams were. That the said William Kenrick desired the said George Adams' to shut the door, and immediately desired your petitioner, in a pe ' remptory manner, to deliver up the note which the said William Kenrick had written to the said William Beale, and whilst your petitioner was in the act of producing it, he again, in a very loud tone, commanded him to produce it directly. That your petitioner, not attaching much importance to the said rnee, had no intention of withholding it from the said William, Kenrick, but being surprised at the shutting of the door, and at the agitated manner of the said William Kenrick, he requested to be permitted to take a copy of such note; whereupon the said Wilt liam Kenrick became more violent, and, addressing himself to the said George Adams, said, " I appoint you a special constable ; search that man for the note." That your petitioner resisted the attempt of the said George Adams to search him, as he was clothed with no proper authority fee that purpose; and the said William Kenrick therefore directed that one John Batchelor, the constable of tho parish, should be sent for; and your petitioner was confined in the said room until' the arrival of the said constable, for the space of nearly an hour ;1 that when the said John Batchelor entered the room, the said Liam Kenrick, pointing to your petitioner, said, " There, con ' stable, is your prisoner ;" and as the said John Batchelor heel- I tared, apparently waiting for the particulars of the charge, the said William Kenrick, addressing him in a tone of great anger, said, " Constable, do your duty ; seize him and search him for a note." That your petitioner having ascertained that the said John Bat chelor was really a constable, he submitted without the slightest resistance ; and the said John Batchelor having collared your pe titioner, searched him, and took from him the said note, and also. by die direction of the said ‘Villiam Kenrick, took possession of the said fleece; and the said William Kenrick then ordered your petitioner to quit his house, which your petitioner left immediately, under the apprehension of further violence. That for this imprisonment your petitioner brought his action against the said %I illiam Kenrick, and the cause stood for trial at the last Assizes for the county of Surrey. That your petitioner might reasonably have expected consider able damages for the injury he had seemed ; but being actuated by no vindictive motive, and being solely anxious for some ac knowledgment, on the part of the said William Kenrick, of Ihe impropriety of his conduct, at the request of the Counsel of the 'I said IVilliam Kenrick, your petitioner consented to accept a ver. diet for five pounds, upon the express understanding and condition that your petitioner was to be at no expense in the matter or the cause. _ _ _ That the costs of the said action have been taxed and paid, but your petitioner has sustained a considerable WWI it: tracing and ob taining possession of his property, for which he has net received the smallest satisfaction or indemnity. That your petitioner disclaims all personal hostility to the said William lienrick which, he submits, has been sufficiently indi. cued in his desire, by the compromise of the said action, to. I prevent a detail of the foregoing facts, where the intErests of your petitioner were alone concerned. but inasmuch as your petitioner feels that there was a denial of justice on the part of the said Wil. s ham Kenrick, In the case of the said William Beale, by which a charge of felony was suppressed and defeated, your petitioner is led . _----- .~ • 5 7 71. thdr e"le bStallqllM i riny lli be ll.st‘ eonsi b)ilt derwl tae ert; expedient irisg That yoe se 111111ip Investigation this ease more front th i s s lltssistance of the Ala said IVillism solid his • Justices of the Great Sessions in Webs I • dosses presume to sug gest the course to be is east of as establishment of his charges sissiast Me old %Mem lgamtriphi, bet submits in all things to the diesemies, authority, eel MOO, et your Honour. able /Iota& Your petitioner therefore most humbly prays, that your Ho nourable House will be picaled to institute an inquiry into the truth of his statement, and that you will adopt such proceedings thereupon as to your Honourable House may seem meet.

' The humble petition of William Kenrick, of Broom, in the Parish of Bctchworth, in the County of Surrey, Esq. Sheweth, That your petitioner, having perused the petition presented to your honourable House'lty Mr. Martin Money Cantor, begs leave to state, that your petitioner is well known to be In the habit of seeing all persons on justice business till ten o'clock every morning, and after that hour (If at home) on any matters of urgency ' • but that his servant has instructions not to introduce any person after that hour, till he has ascertained the business on which he came is urgent. 'That your petitioner's butler, Adams, having Informed your petitioner, that a man of she name of Cantor (whom your petitioner bad never seen or beard of before) wanted a search -warrant, he di rected 111 it he should be admitted ; Adams then Introduced Canfor, and then lett the room ; Cantor then stated, as the ground of his 'policed°, for such warrant, that he had lost several sheep from Chariwood Common, and, amongst bthera, a ram t and that he had heard that Mr. Beale, of Reigate, had lately taken up a ram (tom Westwood Common, in the parish of Leigh (which parish adjoins litigate and Charlwood); that he had been to Mr. Benle'a, and seen the ram, which was then shorn, and claimed it as his property and that Beale stilted, that be had taken up the rain from Or Westrrood Common, it haring vtrayed from his pasture, and re futed to give it up, or produce the fleece, insisting they were big QIN property. Upon this representation, your petitioner told Canfor, he thought it a case for a &ell action, and not for a criminal proceeding, and declined td give him a search-warrant I CanfOr then became very importunate, and used some intemperate language, saying, your petitioner did net know his business, and he would go to another magistrate, and said he would apply to 111 r. Burgess, tne magistrate at Reigate; upon which your petitioner told him to do an, and that your petitioner was sure, if the same statement was made to 111 r. Burgess, he would not issue any search-warrant. That still continuing to press for a search-warrant, and stating, that unless he could compel the production of the fleece, he should not be able to prove his property in the ram, and that he visa apprehensive Beale would destroy it, your petitioner told' him that Beale was the brother of your petitioner's bailiff, and that your petitioner was unacquainted with him, but understood he was E. respectable farmer, and a roan of good character, and not likely to set in that way ; that yoar petitioner would give him a letter in ihe nature of a summons, which he had no doubt would procure the fleece; Cantor than requested your petitioner to do so, and your petitioner accordingly proceeded to write, the summons stated In Cantor's petition ; whilst your petitioner was so doing, his servant (Adams) came into the room, and offered your petitioner a blank search-warrant ; on which your petitioner said, it Was nut a case which required a search.warrant ; Adams then retired, and your petitioner proceeded to finish the letter or summons mentioned in Canter's petition, which your petitioner delivered to Cantor, di recting him to take a constable to serve it on Mr. Beall ; but your petitioner has no recollection thu he told him he might serve it himself. That when your petitioner afterwards saw the summons. he per- ' ceived he had inconsiderately described the charge as if it had been actually preferred before your petitioner, certainly implying there-, by, your petitioner considered a felony had been actually committed, an idea for a moment never entertained by your petitioner ; and the observations your petitioner made - to Csnfur, decidedly prove it to have been must foreign to his mind, and, he trusts, as unequi vocally chow that he wrote the letter to assist one neighbour to ,settle a dispute with another, and for no other purpose. That after that summons had been served, Beale, as your peti tioner was informed, came to his house and complained of it, and' . ' desired Adams to tell your petitioner the matter was referred to aI neighbouring farmer; your petitioner desired him to be told there' ' was no occasion for your petitioner to have any thing further to do with it ; Cantor also afterwards came, as your petitioner heard, and met Beale before he had left your petitioner's premise", but your petitioner was not at home, and on that occasion he did not see either of them. That the second time that your petitioner saw Cantor was, he be lieves, on the 17th of June ; Adams introduced him, and then left, the room; and Cantor then produced the fleece, and two samples of wool, and two notes signed by Mr. Joseph Nash and Mr. Ede, stating that the samples were like the wool produced, with the view, as your petitioner understood, of satisfying your petitioner the fleece belonged to him (Canton; but your petitioner was by no means convinced thereof; and from something that was said by him, which your petitioner does not distinctly recollect, he was induced to question him, if he had obtained it by means of your petitioner's summons; when he said. " Vas;" yoi petitioner asked what ha meant to do with it; he said, to take it home and keep it: your petitioner then asked If Mr. Beale consented to his so doing; he said he did not; your petitioner then desired him to leave the fleece with him for the purpose for which it had been obtained, vie. to secure the production of it as evidence, when wanted for that pur pose; this he (Canfor) 'peremptorily and repeatedly refused to do; and thereupon your petitioner told him your petitioner must detain him (Cantor); for which detention the action mentioned in Can for's petition was brought; and turned the key in the eoor, and rang the bell, which Adams answered, and your petitioner desired him to detain Mr. Cantor until he gave up the fleece, and the letter or summons; but your petitioner does not recollect, and thinks he did not order him to search him (Cantor) for the summons or letter ; and your petitioner sent another servant for Batchelor, the Constable. That your petitioner cannot recollect, and flnrly believes he did not, at any time during his first or this Interview with Cantor, speak in high, menacing, or commanding tone, or that he was any way agitated, or in a passion ; when Batchelor arrived, which he did in a few minutes, Canfor held out his pocket for Batchelor to take out the summons, and quietly gave up the fleece, and went away ; your petitioner saw no violence used, and the constable kept possession of the fleece and summons until the trial. That your petitioner thought that if any question was to be settled as to the property in the ram, that the fleece ought not to remain in the custody of Canfor ; it never was your petitioner's intention to take it out of the possession of one party to put it into the posses sion of the other; all that your petitioner desired was, that it should be in the custody of some indifferent person, or of the con. stable, in order to be forthcoming if any trial should take place ; and your petitioner also thought that his summons to Beale ought to have been returned to your petitioner. That your petitioner w.,4 not at the Assizes, and the compromise then made was directly in opposition to your petitioner's wishes and express directions, and kr.own to be so by his Solicitor and Counsel. That your petitioner has paid the fit damages agreed on, and 1311. more for Canfor's costa in such action, taxed u between Attorney and Client. That your petitioner was a perfect stranger to every thing that passed between the parties. or between them and any other person. except as above stated, until a few days before the Assizes ; and your petitioner protests against being in any manner affected thereby. That your petitioner had no knowledge of Canfor before he called the first time, as before stated; your petitioner knew Wm. Beale; had never spoken to him, nor did afterwards, until a few days before the trial of Canfor's action. That your petitioner could have had no motive for partiality, or for denial of justice. That your petitioner does not presume to say that he may nit have erred in judgment, but if he did, he with the fullest confi dence submits his conduct to the favourable consideration of this Honourable House ; and prays that justice may be dune him in the premises. And your petioner will evil. pray. &e. Wlll. KENRICK.

Among the patliamentaty aids of the Catholic* pervent were—Sir Frauds Burdett, Lord inept. Mr. John Smith, Mr. W. Smith, 6.e. Sir Frauds Burdett, on entering the room, was received *MI rapturous applause. A similar ekpraision of itding took Ono on Lord Nugent's entrance. Lord Ctrieronto was called to the Chalk. • Mr. BLOUNT, the Sr , stated, that he had teicrioni lama from the Duke or Norfolk, Stourton, and several other ilia. tinguished Catholics, expressing their extreme regret at not being able to attend the meeting. Lord Ccirroati then said, the Immediate object of the meet. ing wait to bear the Report of the last year's proCeedings. The object of the Association was to convince their fellow-subjects of the reasonableness of doing justice to the Catholics. The means they intended to use were discussion and the public press, by which they expected the system by which they were oppressed would cease to continue. It bad been called by Mr. Burke a system of vicious perfection, whose object was the degradation of human nature. (Hear, hear.) harass duty they hived to themselves, and their able and virtuous advocates, to prove to the World that they were not deserving of the treatment they rettived. The system practised towards the Catholics of Ireland had been 'Nell tlescribed by one of their friends as a system of unmixed oppresaioni eaten ' lated to grind the people in the dust—to maintain a galleon of Protestants in the midst of a nation of Catholic slaves. nippily the Protestants were now uniting with their Catholic fellow-sub-' jests—a union which must lead to the attainment of their rights. (Hear, hear.) Mr. ROBBITE a read the Report, which dwelt on the great sup., port their petition had received from distinguished Members of Parliament and other public bodies, and dito aseNd o il sad stated, that the Committee had distributer espies Wags gamin:ad to disabuse the minds of their oppsirmis no the V:ef the tenets held by Catholics ; and reconitsseded that all ends of civil and religious liberty should be Invited to unit la t wotk so honourable and useful. The Report concluded by ressinmending union and perseverance, by which the cause of truth sat justice must become triumphant. Mr. BLOUNT moved, and the Don. Mr. Cussouri seconded a Resolution, " That the Report be received and agreed ti by the Meetin*" The Rpolution was agreed to unanimously. Qatir next addressed the Meeting. If' their cause srtut' making a triumphant progress in the public mind, the splendid result was in a great degree owing to the advocacy of the Hon.' Member for Westminster. (Hear, hear.) In this land of freedom, which is said to refuse the footstep of a slave, the Catholics were' depressed, as if unworthy or incapable of enjoying the blessings of liberty. They were ready to defend the Constitution by the best blood of their Nobility and Gentry, and by their fearless peasantry. (Hear.) Their wrongs had filled the Senate with eloquence in their cause that had never been excelled. Never was the cause of freedom more powerfully advocated than by the intrepid champion of their rights who presented their petition. It was worthy of the Catholics to exrpesi their gratitude for such cervices, and their prayer that lie might long continue the asserter of civil and religious liberty, the glory of his country, and main stay of the people's CUM The Ifon. Gentleman concluded by moving a resolution ex pressive of the thanks and gratitude of the Catholics to Sit Francis Burdett ; which was received with long-continued cheers. Mr. F. CANNING seconded the Resolution, which was passed by ac:lemations, loud and long. As mom aa he could be heard— On' Annual Sir F. BURDETT said that what he had the honour of attending I the Meeting, he had no expectation of such a Resolution being passed. He attended the Meeting to show the respect he felt for the Catholics. and the deep interest lie took in a question which invoiced the best interests of Catholics and Protestants. (Cheers.) Fortunately, feligioes bigotry was fast passing away ; it was now a pretence for the monopoly of power. (Cheers.) It was his deter , mination in ever y . way to support the broad principle of re li g i ous I liberty. It was, in Ins mind, arrogant and impious for any set of men to dictate to the conscience' , of others the Manner in which they should worship the Creator. It was even to say to the Creator himself, that he should not receive their worship. (Cheers.) Re -1 gious worship, in all the forms professed by those who maintained the great principles of good will to men and gratitude to God, must be acceptable to the Deity. But religion was only made a pretence for depriving those who adhered to the faith of their ancestors of the advantages of that Constitution which those ancestors had founded and preserved. (Cheers.) Their best recommendation to the good feelings of their fellow-subjects must be the evidence they gave of the estimation In which they held the rights of which they were so unjustly deprived. (Cliches.) It was the cense of the liberty of the whole people, and he trusted all would unite in its attainment, and in the recovery of all their popular rights, and place their liberties on the firm basis of • Government by a Parliament freely chosen by the people. (Cheers.) He was not aware that any motive could ever dithdraw him from the advocacy of any portion of the people, and should always steadfastly persevere, because the question of emancipation was only the question of general liberty, in which all were concerned. (The Hon. Baronet sat dawn amidst immense cheers, which continued fora considerable length of time.) Mr. Rossox proposed a vote of thanks to Lord Fingal, and the other Members of the Catholic Association in Ireland, for their strenuous exertions in support of the great question in which they were all corcerned. The claims of the English Catholics stood upon somewhat a different ground from those of the Irish Roman Catholics, because they had to urge, in support of their claims, on general grounds, the virlstien of a distinct compact, namely; the Treaty of Limerick. Too much praise could not be given to the Irish Roman Catholics for their strenuous exertions ; for without such men as Lord Fingal and Mr. O'Connell, it was impossible the cause could ever succeed. (Applause.) Mr. Eseterox xeconded the Resolution, and said the highest praise was due to the gallant and noble Irish nation for their un wearied perseverance for the accomplishment of their just rights, and the establishment of the great principles of civil and religious liberty. It was a melancholy subject of contemplation for a pa triotic mind, that the Catholics had no hope but in internal com motion, or from foreign war. (Great cheers.) And there never was a period when it was more incumbent upon all Catholics, English and Irish, to co-operate in the pursuit of their common object. The Resolution was carried with acclamation. Mr. EN CAS ffl`Dowstn, on behalf of the Irish Catholic Asso ciation, addressed the Meeting, and said that although unwilling to trespass upon their attention, he could not abstain from recog nising with the utmost gratitude the desire expressed by the Eng lish Catholics faithfully to co-operate with their Irish brethren ; for that principle of union amonest themselves he considered the moat essential auxiliary towards the attainment of their object. He was unwilling to despair of their success—he could not. he dare not despair. • But let them not forget the situation in which they are placed—they might boast as they pleased of their English jus tice and English generosity, but when he saw the English Ca tholics about to enter on one more year of slavery, how could he reconcile their gloomy prospects with such professions ? (Cheers.) Lord Fingal, and some of the most distinguished Peers and Corn. moners of Ireland, came over to prefer their humble petition not to be condemned without being heard, and yet their prayer was re fused by those very l'eels and Goulburns who shrink with horror from the idea that the fame of a single Magistrate (Mr. Kenrick) should be even breathed upon, without being heard in his defence by counsel. (Cheers.) And yet they were still told to be tempe rate. Good God! what nation on earth has ever exhibited such a spectacle of human forbearance, amidst such an accumulation of injustice ! It was well for cavaliers to talk of putting them down ; but that might not be found so easy or practicable. In the midst of their oppressions patience was preached to them. Oh ! for God's sake be calm— " Calm and unruffled as a summer's sea, Then not a breath of wind flies o'er its surface." He trusted they would observe all that temperance and forbear ance which their obedience to the Constitution required. Beyond that, no friend of liberty had a right to require them to go.—, (Cheers.) The Hon. HUGH CLIFFORD then rose, for the purpose of pro posing a vote of thanks to Earl Grey and Lord Nugent, for the ability with which they had advocated and supported the petition of the English Catholics in both Bowes of Parliament. The cha racter of Lord Grey had been long known to the country ; he had ever been found the steady and undeviating friend of the people. In the person of Lord Nugent, they found the purest representation of the Fox and Grenville politics, a course of policy qu i te opposed to that fatal opinion which the first law authority of the empire had pronounced, namely, that a full participation in the blessings of the Constitution was not the birth-right of all Englishmen, but only of Protestant Englishmen. Sir EDWARD BLOUNT seconded the Resolution, and it was carried by acclamation. Lord Nrozxr returned thanks.—He observed, that whatever the hopes of the Catholics might have been, they had received front Parliament, he thanked God not from that portion of it to which he belonged, a severe reverse; the sanguine friends of the cause, how ever, still hoped, that a year or two might make much difference ; but even if it were so, that ought only to be an additional reason for renewed energy and exertion. The major, and the better part of the country, was at least with the Roman Catholics; and lie did not think that a stronger proof could be given of the inertia of education in the country, than the words that had fallen from the mouth of a journeyman cotton-spinner on a late occasion ; words well adapted to confound the sophistry of those who assumed wis dom, and to bringto shame the antiquated prejudices and the paltry bigotry of the hereditary great : that poor man, to his honour he it spoken, had entertained more liberal views than the Lord High Chancellor of England and was more wise in his deduction than the heir presumptive to the throne. It was childish to declaim ; any ose might declaim on the wrongs that the Catholics had re. ceived it was rather duty to seek redress than to complain, and he was glad to find the British Catholic Association meeting, not only to do their own duty, but to press upon Parliament their duty. The Noble Lord concluded by entreating the Catholics to pursue the same course that they had already adopted, and sat down amidst universal applause. On the motion of Mr. BUTLER, and seconded by Mr. SILVEIL TOP, thanks were voted to the English Ear for its support. Mr. SICAR returned thanks. Mr. F."Caarstttro moved the thanks of the Meeting to the Dis senters of Great Britain for their petition. Mr. IVILLIAM SINITU, M.P., returned thanks. Ile had al ways, during a long Parliamentary life, advocated Catholic Eman cipation, and always would. Ile would likewise always be ex tremely happy in assisting the operations of that Association, and he was firmly persuaded. that as reason and justice had so long been active in bringing about the g reat cause that it had in view, the Protestants and Catholics of Great 'Britain would soon be able to embrace one another as brothers. (Applause.) On thanks to the Bankers and Merchants of the City of London being voted, Mr. Joint SMlru returned thanks, sad observed -AiElm ~-: - ,-. _.. n 4 ' . - ■IMPM - -w .. _- 'R. aporf . , , • that fit, the law 17 er 18 years las hod never mimed rode( * veer of the Cathodic cause in his seat in Parliament.
