IV., c. 125, for not taking a pilot on board between Dungeness and Dover, according to the 19th section of that statute. The declaration contained a great variety of counts, charg ing the defendant with not making a proper signal, with not heaving-to, with refusing to take a pilot on board, and other descriptions of the same offence ; and the defendant pleaded sixteen special pleas, putting all the counts of the declaration in issue, affirming that he had tried to obtain a pilot, but could not. The real question in issue was whe ther, upon the 20th of December, 1833, the defendant was or was not passing Dungeness in his ship called the Light ning, and did or did not then refuse to take on board a pro perly licensed pilot. Lor DENMAN left the case to the Jury, who returned a verdict for the defendant. COURT OF COMMON PLEAS. DRAMATIC AUTHORS AND MANAGERS.-JERROLD V. MOB; HIS AND WINSTON. - -.. This was an action br oug ht f or th e . recovery of compen sation for a dramatic piece, written by the plaintiff, and represented at the theatre of the defendants. The proceedings excited very great interest, and the Court was literally crowded by authors and actors. Mr. ANDREWS opened the pleadings. The action was brought by the plaintiff to recover from the defendants a sum of 1501., which he alleged to be the value of a dramatic piece which had been played at the theatre of the defen dants ; and to this demand the defendants had pleaded that they had paid the plaintiff 501., and that 50/. was an ade quatd remuneration for the plaintiff's trouble. Mr. Sergeant TALFOURD said, the piece to recover com pensation for which this action had been brought, was called Beau Nash ;or the King of Bath. This play was not the production of an unknown or unsuccessful dramatist ; it proceeded from the pen of the author of The Rent Day— The Housekeeper—and many other plays, which had, and most deservedly, become established favourites with the public. For The Housekeeper, which was a work of infe rior merit to that which formed the foundation of these proceedings, Mr. Jerrold received from the defendants -1001., although it only contained two acts ; and he there fore had a right to expect to be remunerated according to the same scale for Beau Nash, which was a three act piece. Beau Nash was first represented on the 16th of July, 1834, and the principal part of it, namely, the hero of the piece, was personated by one of the most delightful actors of the present time, Mr. William Farren. It was as successful as its author could desire it to be. He denied the right of a manager to determine the value of a work of this kind, and when he stated that the piece called Nell Gwynne, produced to Mr. Jerrold from Covent-garden Theatre, where it was brought out, 2001., he thought he (Mr. Ser geant Talfourd) had fully established Mr. Jerrold's right to the fair and reasonable compensation to . which his genius and talent entitled him for the present work. The scale with respect to a five-act tragedy or comedy was perfectly well understood. For such productions 100/. was paid on the third representation, another 1001. on the sixth, and a third 1001. on the ninth ; and, in some few instances, the 20th representation entitled the author to a fourth 1001. Lord Byron, when connected with Drury-lane Theatre, caused the whole of these sums to be paid to the late Mr. Coleridge on the production of that splendid specimen of his genius, the play of Remorse ; and the admirable talents of a lady who adorned the neighbourhood of Reading (Miss Mitford) received the same sort of tribute. The Learned Gentleman concluded by saying he had no doubt that a verdict would be given for the full amount claim e d by his client, and calling Mr. B. Webster, whose evidence was as follows :—I am an actor, and performed at the Haymarket Theatre during the season of 1834. I recollect that during that season —on, I believe, the 16th of July—a piece called Beau Nash was brought out and played with one exception, on thirteen successive nights ; it certainly was favourably received. I write for the stage myself occasionally. I n my opinion, udging of course from the applause it received, Beau Nash was a successful piece. Six night's represen tation does not establish the decided success of a play, but I think nine or ten nights does ; there are, however, va rious opinions on this point. I have played at Madame Vestris's Theatre. Mr. Sergeant TALrouan—What does Madame Vestris consider to be a successful piece? Mr. Sergeant AcHERLEY (interrupting)—What have we to do with Madame Vestris's opinion of a piece Surely we are not to take her opinion on such a matter. (A laugh.) Mr. Sergeant TALFOURD—That is a very ungallant ob servation. Cross-examined by Mr. Sergeant ACHERLEY—I played the part of Jack Baxter in Beau Nash ; that was a prin cipal part, though not the principal part. The principal part was played by Mr. Farren. When a new piece is brought out it is customary to give the author orders to distribute among his friends, who, perhaps, exhibit as much partisanship —that is, are as much disposed to applaud —as those who pay their money at the doors.—(A laugh.) I have my doubts whether the friends of an author go to be pleased, or are pleased when they go.—(A laugh.) The only means an actor has of judging of the success of a piece is by the applause. A dance was introduced at the end of the second act, but I do not think that dance was the salvation of the play. It was not the most popular part of it. The dance went off amazingly well, as did other parts of the piece. Mr. Stephen Price, examined by Mr. Sergeant TAL FOURD—I am proprietor of the two principal of the Ame rican theatres, and was Lessee of Drury-lane Theatre from 1826 to 1830. During that period I had frequent dealings with dramatic authors for various pieces. The scale of re muneration depends partly on contract and partly on custom, but more generally on custom, more especially among the better dramatic authors. When I first took the theatre I found that a scale of remuneration had been gra duated, and that both the great theatres had acted on it. I also adopted it. I know Mr. Jerrold. He is an author of high reputation and great merit. He is the author of the Rent Day, a piece of infinite merit. Mr. Sergeant ACIIERLEY thought such evidence was in admissable. The CHIEF JUSTICE—It is impossible, without some evidence of the sort, to estimate the value of a literary pro duction ; you cannot estimate it as you would the skill of a carpenter. The Learned Judge then asked the witness whether he knew Mr. Jerrold, and the merits of his works ? Mr. Price—l do, my Lord. Mr. Sergeant ACHERLEY submitted that the value of a literary production was to be determined in the same way as that of a picture. The CHIEF JUSTICE—Did you see or read this play, and what is your opinion of its merits. Is it a good or a bad piece for the stage ? Mr. Price—l read it, but I did not see it. It is de cidedly a work of merit, and quite original. I should sup pose it to be a piece, especially placed in the hands it was, which would form a safe speculation for a manager. The CHIEF JUSTICE—If a piece does not reach a third representation does the author get anything? Mr. Price—No, my Lord. Mr. Charles Morton, examined by Mr. Sergeant TAI. - FOUED—I am a dram a ti c au th or . S pee d the Plough 18 mine, and I have written many other dramatic pieces. I have written pieces for both the winter theatres, but only one for Mr. Morris, namely, Separation and Reparation, but the remuneration did not depend on the nights it was played. I received 160/. for it. It contained only two acts. lam acquainted with Mr Jerrold's work, and con sider him a very successful dramatist. The CHIEF JUSTICE—I suppose an author being well known brings more persons to a theatre, where his produc tion is performed, than would otherwise go there ? Mr. Morton—l believe that to be the case. I consider nine nights to be a test of the success of a five-act piece, and six of a shorter one. The CHIEF JUSTlCE—Perhaps the author and actor may think differently on that point ?—(A laugh.) Mr. Morton admitted that, and continued. Formerly authors were paid by the result of the sixth night's per formance, a species of benefit, but that practice has long ceased. I have myself " stood upon my nights." Cer tainly I think that 501. is an inadequate remuneration for a three act piece ; but I agree that 50/. for the third, sixth, and ninth representation, would be fair and reasonable. Mr. J. R. Planche, examined by Mr. ANDREWS—I am the author of several dramatic works, and several of them were brought out at the Haymarket Theatre. They were never more than two acts, and I received 1001. for each. witnessed the representation of Beau Nash, and thought it very successful. The sum demanded is, in my opinion, no more than the fair remuneration. Cross-examined by Mr. Sergeant ACHERLEY-I have the honour to be a member of the Dramatic Author's So ciety. That society was established for the purpose of pre serving the rights of authors. It is a sort of Conservative club—(A laugh)—and has existed about two years. Its object is to protect " the most tiresome and laborious of all mental exertions, against the destructive tyranny of _mana gers." For the The Sledge Driver I received 501., as lawyers say, on account of my wife ; it was not written by me. This was by agreement. Ido not know what sums were paid for the pieces of Mr. Charles Mathews and Mr. Buckstone, nor what Mr. Boaden received for The Duel. Here the plaintiff's case closed. Mr. Sergeant ACHERLEY then addressed the Jury on be half of the defendants. Mr. Frederick Vining examined by Mr Jervis—l was stage-manager at the Haymarket during the season of 1834. When Mr. Jerrold's play was first read, it was considered too long, and that it would act heavily ; and after one or two rehearsals Mr. Farren said that unless the third act was altered its success would be defeated. Mr. Jerrold, approving of Mr. Farren's suggestion, made the necessary alterations. But I have heard that Mr. Farren declared he would not act in it, if that act was not altered, because the part assigned to him was one of difficulty and labour. The play, though it passed off with applause--without dis appointment—still went off "flatly." The impression gene rally of the actors was, that the second act went off flatly, and that if the dance did not succeed, it must be damned. The dance was received with acclamation ; but it was in cidental to the piece, though arranged by the performers, and not by the author. The house, though not crowded, was good on the first night. It invariably happens that a new piece gees off more flatly on the second than any other night. Cannot say whether the house was better attended the night Hamlet was played than on the night Beau Nash was. No doubt the reason Mr. Jerrold's play was with drawn was because the. manager did not find it attractive. Mr. William Farren examined by Mr. JERVIS—I had a part in Beau Nash, and was of course present when it was read and rehearsed. It was neither a lively or dull piece. I do not recollect having said it was as " dull as ditch water," but if I thought so, I would have so expressed my self. To a certain extent the piece was attractive. lam unable to set any value upon it. Though it appeared to be heavy, I thought it clever. Mr. Pritchard examined by Mr. Jaavis—l ant deputy treasurer at the Haymarket theatre ; the average expense of each night's performance is 100/. ; the receipts during the thirteen nights Beau Nash was performed were as fol lows :—The first night, 811. I Is. ; the second, 801. 12s. ; the third and fourth, 2201. 14s. ; the fifth, 105/. 12s. ; the sixth, 84/. Is. ; the seventh, 80/. 6s. ; the eighth, 76/. ss. ; the ninth, 901. 19s. ; the tenth, 831. 16s. ; the eleventh, 971. 16s. ; the twelfth, 85/. 9s. ; and the thirteenth, .53/.lls. The night Hamlet was played the receipts amounted to 122/. 16s. The management lost money on the nights Beau Nash was performed. The Jury, after consulting for a few minutes in the box, returned a verdict for the plaintiff—Damages 100/., ob serving that the plaintiff was entitled to the amount (150/.) he had demanded. CENTRAL CRIMINAL COURT. Samuel Mitchell, a very respectable-looking man, thirty nine years of age, and described as a messenger in the Treasury-office, was indicted for stealing twenty reams of paper. twenty reams of writing paper, one hundred books, twenty pounds of sealing wax, five hundred pens, and an ink stand, from the Treasury Chambers, the property of the King. Mr. A DOLPHUS stated the case for the prosecution. John Carter, police inspector, was then called as a wit ness, but a conversation having taken place between Mr. C. Phillips, Counsel for the prisoner, and Mr. Adolphus, and a communication havirv , been made to the prison er , h e with drew his plea of Not Guilty, and pleaded Guilty. Mr. C. PHILLIPS then very strongly recommended him to mercy, on the ground of the excellent character he had previously enjoyed. He had already, by the offence of which he was guilty, lost a situation of 150/. a year in a Government office, which would have kept himself, his wife, and family, comfortable for life. Mr. W. Holmes, of No. 10, Grafton-street, a gentleman well known in the political world, and who had for many years been Treasurer of the Ordnance, stated that the pri soner had been eleven years in his service. That he had received the strongest recommendation with him. That during the eleven years he had been in his service he had conducted himself in the most exemplary manner, and that he parted with him with the greatest reluctance. He pro cured for him the situation in the Treasury. Mr. G. Arbuthnot, of the Treasury, the Private Secre tary to Mr. Stanley, spoke of the prisoner to the same effect. The COMMON SERGEANT—My doubt is, whether the Court can deal with this case in a different way from that in which it would deal with any other. Mr. PHILLIPS—My Lord, this is the prisoner's first of fence, and your Lordship has always made the observation and acted on it, that that ought to mitigate the sentence. The COMMON SERGEANT—That is in cases where ser vants have robbed their masters. Mr. C. PHILLIPS—This, my Lord, is a less aggravated case. Here no person has been robbed—it is only the public. The COMMON SERGEANT—WeII, I have still my doubts whether the Court can act differently in this from what it would in any other case ; but I shall speak to the Judges on the subject. The weather still continues cold at Paris. A let ter from Volney states that Burgundy has suffered equally with the more 'southern wine districts from the late frosts. STATUE OF CHARLES IL—On Sunday morn ing the equestrian statue of Charles the Second was released from the Calton Jail, Edinburgh, and replaced in the Parlia ment Square upon a handsome new pedestal. The young artist, Bates, whose unfortunate acci dent we before described, died on Tuesday morninm, in the 28th year of his age. The poor fello w h a d b ecome delirious from the pain of his shattered arm ; and, in one of his tits of agony, violently tore away the bandages from it. The bones again protruding, caused mortification, and death was the na tural consequonce.--Jersey Argus. FEMALE PREACHERS.—A respectable young woman from a neighbouring village has for some time been a preacher among the Primitive Methodists or Ranters ; on Sunday morning she addressed a meeting at Bullingham, and in the evening preached at the chapel in this city. She pos sesses great fluency of speech, is remarkably fervent in prayer, and appears to be intimately acquainted with the Scriptures. There are other female preachers in the same connexion.— HereArd Journal. CONSOLING POSSIBILITY.—.When I see an afflicted and unhappy man, I say to myself, there is, perhaps, a man whom the world would envy if they knew the value of his sorrows, which are possibly intended only to soften his heart, and to turn his affections towards their proper centre.— Cowper, Letter 88. Washingon Irving, in his new volume of miscella nies, relates the following anecdote as one told him of Lord Byron by Nanny Smith, an ancient domestic at Newstead Abbey :—" One time Lord Byron took a notion that there was a . great deal of money b ur i e d a b ou t th e a bbey by the monks in old times, and nothing would serve him but he must have the flagging taken up in the cloisters • and they digged and di gge d, b ut f oun d noth i ng but stone coffins full of bones. Then he must needs have one of the coffins put in one end of the great hall, so that the servants were afraid to go there of nights. Several of the skulls were cleaned and put in frames in his room. I used to have to go into the room at night to shut the windows; and if I glanced an eye at them they all seemed to grin, which I believe skulls always do. I can't say but I was glad to get out of the room." Disturbances have occurred among the agricultural labourers at Bedford, and an express reached town on Thursday, soliciting the assistance of the Metropolitan Police. We understand that the paupers demanded relief in money, and upon the refusal of their demands they attacked the house in which the guardians were essembled, broke the windows, and threatened further violence. The local magistrates be came alarmed, and finding the civil force of the town wholly inadequate to the preservation of the peace, made application for assistanc e to the Home-office, upon which twenty men of the metropolitan police were despatched to their aid. The appearance of this force immediately restored order, and through their exertions ten of the ringleaders have been ar rested, and lodged in prison.—Observer. PROTESTANT SOCIETY FOR THE PROTEC TION OF RELIGIOUS LIBERTY. The 24th Anniversary of this Society was held at the Cit‘ of London Tavern on Saturday last. Lord Broughan having accepted the invitation to preside at the meeting, th( great room was inconveniently filled by thousands of persons long before his Lordship's arrival. On entering the room he was greeted by the most cordial cheering. His LORDSHIP then opened the business of the day 191 observing that it gave him unmixed satisfaction to meet se large and respectable a body of his fellow-citizens on thal occasion, because that which brought them together was th( most respectable, and, he would add, the most sacred of all feelings—the duty of protecting the unrestrained freedom of conscience.—( Cheers.) It gave him further satisfaction to feel (though that was a less consideration) that he then had the honour of occupyiug a chair which had been filled upon former occasions of a like nature by some of the most dis tinguished and tried friends of civil and religious liberty who have existed in any age or adorned any nation. When he reminded them of the successor to the name and virtues of Charles Fox—he meant his noble and loved friend Lord Holland; when he mentioned to them the name of another friend who bore the title and inherited the virtues of one of the martyrs to freedom of conscience —he meant of Lord John Russell—(loud cheers),—who laid down his life for that cause which brought them together that day, he need add no more—for those two names of his illustrious predecessors were enough to shed a lustre around the chair which he unworthily filled. With them he had hum bly been the advocate of the same principles which led the ancestor of the one to the block, and which would have led the ancestor of the other to the same glorious fate, if he La,. lived in a less enlightened age than ours. But tl:one was one consideration which damped the pleasure that those feelings were calculated to give. The first question that would present itself to the mind of any foreigner from any of the liberal parts of Europe, and from all parts of America, would be, " I see a numerous, respectable, wealthy, and powerful society, established in the middle of the nineteenth century—for what? To promote knowledge ? To diffuse learning F No—but to protect men in the exercise of their consciences.—( Cheers.) Why it is monstrous—as well might you have a society to protect men in the exercise of the right of breathing the air, or seeing the light ; yet such is the fact : there is this Society, and I grieve and am ashamed to say it cannot be dispensed with ; its existence is still necessary among us." As a proof of this necessity, the Noble Lord adverted to the case of Mr. Childs, who is now in Ipswich gaol because he conscientiously refused to pay 17s. 6(1. for church-rates to the churchwardens of Bungay. He then proceeded to explain what were the immediate practical objects to be obtained in furtherance of religious liberty. As regarded politics they were on perfectly neutral ground, and all parties might here conscientiously unite without giving up their respective opinions. On this question he as a Church man identified his case with that of the Dissenters, for Dr. Paley, a great teacher of natural and Christian theology, though he took the bulk of his arguments, and almost the whole of his materials, from Dr. Lardncr, who was a Dis senter, and a great friend of the Established Church—and it was a scandal to Mr. Pitt and his friends that such a man descended unmitred to his grave—he looked forward to a time when it was possible that the Church might be in a minority, and his opinion distinctly was, that then the Established Church should be of that religion which was the religion of the majority of the country. It was, therefore, the interest of Churchmen, as well as Dissenters, to take away all intolerant principles from our code of laws, and all persecuting practices in the administration of those laws. First, with regard te Church Rates—he hoped that there would be an end to that imposition. It stood on perfectly different ground from tithes, for though they bought their property subject to Church Rates, yet the same thing might be said against taking off any tax, however detestable. Suppose his conscientious opinion was against stage plays, whereas it was only matter of taste which did not lead him to the theatre, having no conscientious feel ing upon the subject—but suppose he thought it wicked, foolish, and unworthy of a rational being to look at dances and farces, if a tax were imposed to support in every town in the country two theatres, he should think it a hard thing upon him, and should have the best argument that can be made against levying any tax—that he could not himself profit by it. ' Just the same argument might be used by the Dissenters with respect to Church-rates. The second subject demanding their immediate and unremitting attention was the exclusion of Dis senters from the Universities of Oxford and Cambridge.— (The Noble Lord argued this point at some length ; but as the question has been already fully discussed in Parliament, we do not think it necessary to repeat the arguments here.) Their great object was to endeavour to open the Universities, by re. moving subscription to the Thirty-nine Articles. The Noble Lord then spoke of the London University. " But (said he) what signifies it to my fellow-citizens that they have a Univer sity, with the right to grant Degrees, if they - do not send their children there? No, they have a tinge of the Aristocracy about them, and they think that we are a sort of non-con people at the University ; so that they like to send their sons where the sons of Lords and Bishops are sent, paying 2001. or 2501. for their eldest son, instead of keeping the 2001. in their pocket, and with the odd 501., obtaining for their five sons the best education this country affords." The Noble Lord next ad verted to the question of the separation of Church and State, and said he was always apprehensive, on the part of the Dissen ters, much more than on the part of the Church, of the danger of bringing forward petitions and discussions against an establishment in the abstract, because he was quite certain it would injure their cause in other respects, and, by straining after what was quite hopeless, they would slacken their friends and encourage their enemies, and prevent them from getting things that were of more importance. One of those was the alteration of the Marriage Law. He gave Sir Robert Peel great credit for having pronounced that marriage was, an d should be, dealt with as a civil contract. Next to his con duct on the Catholic question, he had not seen anything done by Sir Robert Peel which did him so much honour—not even the excellent speech which he made lately in this very neigh bourhood—(laughter)—and which he (Lord Brougham) read with satisfaction, as an earnest that the Right Hon. Baronet would take to liberal courses out of office. The Bill, how ever, was defective, inasmuch as it did not allow marriages to be solemnized by Dissenting ministers. It required persons to be married, either according to the ritual of the Church of England, or by a magistrate. He did not like two sorts of marriages. They had two kinds of oaths. What was the consequence? Up started a barrister, and said, " Gentlemen, you have heard Jonathan so and so affirm, not swear." If this Bill were to pass, should we not hear, " Oh 1 that's John so and so, and Mary so and so—they were married by the jus tice." [The tone of derision in which . the Noble Lord spoke these words excited great,laughter.l The Bill was defective in that particular, but the principle was admirable. Mr. O'Connell now entered the room, and was received with much cheering. Lord BROUGHAM continued : The reception which they had very properly given to the Hon. Member for Dublin, who was a Roman Catholic, was such as a Roman Catholic would not have met with fifty years ago. This little incident ought to encourage, animate, and invigorate the it proceedings, and lead them through temporary disappointments and partial discomfitures, and inspirit them for the fight which yet re mained. The Noble Lord then proceeded to discus:; the great question of Registration. He hoped the Dissenters would persevere upon this subject. He thought there were ... .. no greA difficulties in the way of establishing - a certain and economical parochial registration. In conclusion, he took leave to say, that this meeting would not be without its ef fect, either upon a liberal Government, or a reformed Parlia ment, or a justice-loving country. The Dissenters of the United Kingdom constitute a body far too important both in numbers and in wealth, to be overlooked by any class in or out of power in the country. No prudent Government dared to overlook their claims—no prudent Legislature was safe in rejecting their prayers; but no enlightened and ho liest Government or Legislature would even wish to neglect their interests, even if they could screw up their courage to dare it.--( Cheers.) Several resolutions were then carried expressive of the sen timents of the meeting upon the several points adverted to in the Noble Lord's speech. Dr. BROWN objected to the desecration of places of worship for the publication of banns, and suggested that when a gene ral civil registration was established, publicity should be made at the registration office, and notice be given to all parties, which would effectually prevent clandestine marriages ; and that as far as regarded the marriages of minors, the Dissenters were willing to make the consent of the parents necessary to their validity. Mr. O'CONNELL came forward to move a resolution, and was again most warmly cheered. He was proud at being allowed to propose a resolution among the Protestant Dissen ters of England, because in every period of their history he had found them the determined friends of human freedom. They were the thartyrs for many a long day for the sincerity of their professions. And as they never shrunk from the penal inflictions into the hypocrisy of conformity, so in their more modern history there never was the stain of religious persecution upon them. I come here (said Mr. O'Connell) not only to pay a compliment, but to make an experiment—it was this : to ascertain whether the late selfish " No Popery" cry, which had been got up by that most religious class of sturdy moralists who frequent Crockford s and Epsom races— those temples of virtue, where the lordlings—(l beg your Lordship's pardon, I don't mean to—)—( Much laughter. ) Lord BROUGHAM—Go on; I shall bear with Christian hu mility whatever you may have to say of the order.—(Great laughter.) Mr. O'CoNNELL—I should be glad to know whether any man here thinks that " Lord" before the name of Henry Brougham, raises him in the estimation of his country.— (Great cheering.) I was speaking, my Lord, of the lordlings who may belong to your Lordship's order, but they do not be long to your class of human beings. They, for their inte rested purposes, impeded the progress of gradual amelioration of our institutions, which was going on under the l^te Ministry. But if the Ministry had been allowed to work out the principles of reform, what was to become of your worthy inheritors of • splendid po , ;y, of domestic 6epublic vices--of many of the great families of this country ? To obviate this result these sturdy moralists raised the cry of "No Popery." But that cry has totally failed among liberal and enlightened men. It might, indeed, have had some effect in the agricultural dis tricts whither the Press, by reason of its shackles, have not had wings enough to fly. But the dawn of that day is opening when the Press shall be as free as you, my Lord, can wish it, or as the wants of the people require. The Hon. and Learned Gentleman then asked whether the Roman Catholics, since they had got into Parliament, had been guilty of one political act which would taint their claim to be the unaffected friends of civil and religious liberty ? He had ever spoken in favour of that principle which the Protestant Dissenters had Asserted—that religion was an affair between man and hit Creator—that it was a matter too high, too dignified, too awful to be polluted by the touch of man. Vain were legal penalties and legal sanctions upon a matter which had the name of God stamped upon it. Therefore that man was not a Christian who did not recognise the right of every other man to worship God according to big conscience. That was not his sssertion of to-day. His was the hand that drew up the short emphatic petition in favour of Protestant Dissen ters, and which was signed by 100,000 Catholics. It was passed unanimously at two Secret Committees of the Catholic Association, and was afterwards proposed by a Carmelite Friar to an aggregate meeting of 10,000 Catholics, and car ried unanimously. But when others cry "No Popery," he would cry, " No Peculation,"—" No robbery "—" Take your hands out of the pockets of the Dissenters, and pay your clergy yourselves." All this the Catholics of Ireland had done for three hundred years—they had established the voluntary principle. Under the most unfavourable circumstances, that principle had been with them triumphant; and would any one tell him that the same principle was not sufficient for the religious and wealthy people of England? The Hon. and Learned Gentleman then took a rapid review of the several !natters of practical grievance which had been previously touched upon by Lord Brougham, and concluded his address by calling upon the Protestants of England not to compro mise their rights, but to insist upon the entire twenty shilling s in th e p oun d due to them from the national debt. For th at men would applaud them, and God, as he sincerely believed, would prosper their endeavours.—( Great cheering.) The Rev. JOHN SIBBING said it was an unusual thing in history, for Roman Catholics and Protestant Dissenters to stand upon the same platform. They had ever been consi dered the antipodes of one :other;a but when their civil li berties were the subject, on that they felt united. • A vote of thanks to Mr. WILKS having been carried, that gentleman, in making acknowledgments, called upon the Dis 'enters to be - vigilant and active in their preparations for the next general election, and to adopt the advice of Sir Robert Peel to his supporters, by getting their votes registered, so that they might be able to return liberal Members to Parlia ment, who would support the present liberal and reforming Government. Mr. Professor Hoes in an able speech, moved a vote of thanks to Lord Brougham, couched in the most complimen tary terms, and which was agreed to with three times three cheers. ' Lord BROUGIIAM—i have already trespassed so unwarrant ably long on your patience, that I shall confine what I have now to offer you in returning my thanks for the kind and cor dial reception given to me to-day within a very small compass I indeed. I assure you I should exceedingly understate what I feel were I to attempt to say how very much I am touched ..with the kindness of that reception. It is the more gratify_ ing to me when I recollect that is owing to our fellow feelings upon one of the most important of human subjects-- he it religious, be it civil, or be it political—the fi eedom of the mind. I, in the beginning, mentioned the names of -two or three individuals who have preceded me in occupying this chair; but I ought to have added the name of my imme- Hate predecessor —one of my oldest and most valued friends, a fellow-labourer in the cause of all good reform, an advocate of .111 liberal principles, and a supporter of all the rights of civil And religious freedom—l mean Lord Durham.—( Cheers. ) I say this not merely to gratify my own feelings of friend >hip, or to do an act of justice towards him, but also for the sake of removing the foolish gossip that has gone about of our ever having had above one single moment's dissension, sad that, too, upon a matter, I believe, arising altogether from nisrepresentation, and which has long since been forgotten. —( Cheers.) I not only heartily concur in the testimony borne ) 3 7 my friend Professor Hoppus, but say that a more wicked delusion, if voluntary, was never attempted to be created, than chat which represents any coldness, even towards religion, as being a part either of the rules, or the principles of the pro fessors or of the council of the University of London. More religious men —men more warmly attached to their different sects, than either the Council or Professors, I should in vain endeavour anywhere to find. That they do not teach religion in any particular form of worship—what is that but saying that they mean to open their doors to every person --to Catholics, Episcopalians, Presbyterians, Independents,. Methodists—ay, Ind Jews ? Mr. Goldsmid (a Jew), Mr. Shaw (a Dissenter), and Mr. William Smith (a Churchman) subscribed 28,000/. in one morning, to enable me to buy the ground on which the London University is built. With what face could I insist that 'he sons of these gentlemen should subscribe to the Thirty nine Articles ? The only course, then, to follow was, to let re ligion be taught at home, while the University would teach that which would make young men more religious, because it would make them more knowing and better-reasoning beings. I shall only say one word with respect to the vile attempt that has been made to raise the cry of " No Popery !" It was sometime said that " God save the King" meant anything but God save the King upon the Throne. With the intolerant And the persecuting, it meant, " God save my pension —God save my job."—( Laughter.) Now, I cannot help thinking that the cry of " No Popery" admits of a similar interpreta tion. It means "no dissent from my sect ; let me and my Church have a monopoly of teaching and preaching, and also (what some are much more attached to) a monopoly of the ,vages for doing so." It puts me in mind of what was once caustically, and, as some believe, rather uncharitably, but, as I think, wittily, and not altogether groundlessly said, by the !ate Dr. Parr, to an Ultra-Tory who was drinking " Church and King." " I don't like (said he) your toast; not that I don't like the King, a Monarchy, and a Church, but because, in the way you use the toast, it means a Church without the Gospel, and a King above the law." So I do not like the cry of " No Popery," not that I am either a Papist or Roman Catholic—not that Ido not value the Reformation as the very greatest blessing and boon given to man in these matters, but because I think, in the mouths of those who use it, it is not a religious or a Christian expression, but an expression of in_ tolerance and persecution —a covering of an irreligious, a merely sordid, and worldly, and rancorous heart.—(Great cheering.) Therefore it is that it has always failed among honest, enlightened, and tolerant Dissenters: I have now to take my leave of you, by again expressing my grateful sense of your kind reception of me this day. It has just been said by Dr. Morrison, that as long as I continue to hold the opinions I always have held, so long I should find a favourable reception from my fellow-countrymen. Another gentleman has said, and in that part of his speech God knows how heartily I concur with him, that he rather rejoiced at my not being in office. I too rejoice in being released from the trammels in which I have been for many years held in my professional and ministerial capacity, released at a somewhat advanced period of man's middle age ; though, thanks be to God, I am in the possession of as much strength and health as I ever enjoyed— ( Great cheering)---so wholesome a thing is, I won't say idle ness, but liberty—so wholesome is freedom for the body as well as the mind. But that I have these opinions to-day, or that I would attend a meeting of my intelligent countrymen to day, being out of office, one whit more than I should have done being in office, I must really take leave to deny, because it is totally contrary to the fact. I have expressed no one senti ment to-day that I did not express when I was Chancellor of this United Kingdom. I cannot tell n here else I have expressed them. It would ill become me. Not only in Parliament have I done so, but at one or two public meetings which I have attended. A great fuss, indeed, has been made about my attending those meetings. Had I remained in office I would, in consequence of that fuss, have attended meetings of my countrymen more than ever.—( Cheers.) Gentlemen, that I shall always hold the same opinions I now do, it is more than be comes a fallible being to say. I shall cease to hold them when my reason is convinced and my judgment satisfied that I have hitherto been in the wrong ; but that that alone, as it only can by possibility justify, so it will tempt me to alter, lay down, or conceal my opinions, I may most confidently assert._( Cheers. ) I think the long experience you have had of me, in power and in opposition, will entitle you at once to believe me.--( Cheers.) It is that which has recommended me to the kindness of my fellow-countrymen. It is that course of lif e w hi c h has given me their affections ; and it is that which they are pleased to reward by the highest and proudest eulogiums that men can bestow on their fellow man—their confidence and support in doing good works.—( Cheers.) That confidence I enjoy, and that support I shall have, without the least regard to whether I am in power or apart from power, or in opposition to power, which I shall only be when my conscience and duty direct it. If, indeed, you had ever seen that I was a person capable of taking up an opinion for the purpose of the hour, or of mitigating an opinion of opposition to abuse, or of resistance to oppression, or even in relaxing only that resistance so far as to show that I could endure or be a party to the persecution of a tyrant, or the intolerance of an oppressor—if you had ever seen, that in order to court higher favour, or conciliate any Ministerial friend, or even to gratify any Chamber of Parlia ment, by joining and chiming in with the popular voice when I thought the people were in the wrong, that I was a person of that description —then you might expect that having taken up opinions from interest, or hidden them from fear, or laid them down to serve a purpose, I might be capable of playing the same base and dirty game again for the lucre of gain, or for that which is a statesman's currency—the lucre of place, which he miscalls power, but which is sls,yery, and not power, —then you might have thought tlss i t I was a person not to be trusted whether I differed with you or differed f rom others ; and then .might my - friends lament that I had so obscured the light that till then had ever shone upon my path. But they know the contrary—they know that I have always, in power and in Opposition, been steady to the principles nhich first enlisted me in the service of the people.—( Cheers.)
