BANKERS. London : The Union Bank of London. Hereford and Brecon : The National Provincial Bank of England. This undertaking will, in connection with existing and projected lines of railway, bring into immediate communication with Birming ham, and the whole midland and Northern Districts of England, the great mineral fields of Monmouthshire, as well as those adjoining Car diff and Merthyr Tydvil ; at the same time it will furnish to the im portant agricultural counties of Hereford, Worcester, Brecon, and M onmouth, a ready channel for the transmission of their produce to the dense population inhabiting the mineral districts of South Wales. The object of this company will be very materially aided, first, by the existing line from Cardiff to Merthyr: and, secondly, by the lines intended to be formed by the Welsh Midland Railway Company. The line will commence at Newport, and will thence proceed northward by Pontypool and Abergavenny to Hereford, where (In that direction) it will terminate. From Abergavenny a branch will extend eastward to Monmouth, and another westward to Brecon. From Brecon an extension will be made to Merthyr, to join the Taaff Vale Railway, ending at Cardiff. Thus will be established, in addition to a ftee intercourse with more distant localities, a complete chain of railway communication amongst the important towns and districts just enumerated, and which are now wholly unprovided in that respect. The portion of the line extending westward from Monmouth will also promote the most direct passenger route that can be adopted from Monmouth to Carmarthen, and the South of Ireland. In addition to the main line and extensions above indicated, the Directors propose to place themselves in immediate communication with the proprietors of the most important works in the several dis tricts traversed, in order to fix the situation and the course of the minor branches, which will be necessary to complete the comprehen sive scheme of communication intended ; sad to this object regard has been had in fixing the capital of the Company. The investigations which have been made en the subject of the traffic fully justify the conclusion that the undertaking is eminently calculated for the advantage and convenience of the public, and that it will prove a most profitable investment of capital. In conclusion, it may suffice to observe that it is well known that the scheme of a comprehensive system of inland communication in the districts in qnestien has already engaged the serious attention of the tribunal appointed by the Legislature for the initiatory examina tion of railway projects ; and the Board of Trade has, in its report on the Tring and Oxford schemes, fully recognised the great im portance and necessity of the chain of communication of which the present undertaking will form a material link in the following man er :—" The accommodation of Herefordshire, Worcestershire, South Wales, and the important districts lying to the west of the present lines of railway will evidently, at no distant period, require not only a wide gauge railway along the southern coast, to place them in com munication with London, but also a narrow gnage railway, to place them in direct and unbroken communication, through Birmingham, with the manufacturing districts and the great railway system of the rest of the kingdom." The engineering capabilities of the course of the line and exten sions have been ascertained to he excellent, and the capital proposed will be ample for the construction of the 125 miles of railway intended to be formed.

Rocke, Eytons, and Co., Shrewsbury Messrs. Taylors and Lloyds, Birmingham ----- - This project, whether viewed as a means of private investment, or as a great public undertaking, presents advantages seldom equalled. Forming a junction at Stourport with the London, Worcester, and South Staffordshire Railway, the proposed Railway will pass up the valley of the Severn, and through, or in the immediate neighbour hood of, brigw Kidderminster, Bridgnorth, Much Wenlock, Madeley, Iron-bge, Coal Brook Dale, to Shrewsbury, and thence near Market Drayton, Andlem, and Nantwich, to Crewe, where it will terminate by a junction with the Manchester and Birmingham, and Grand Junction Railways. Besides giving the above exceedingly populous and thriving places the benefit of a direct communication with each other, and railway accommodation to a district now entirely destitute of it, the proposed railway will als establish the shortest route from the North of England, Manchester, Liverpool, Ireland, Holyhead, North Waleß, and Chester (through Shrewsbury-), to Worcester, Cheltenham, Gloucester, South Wales, Bristol, Bath, Exeter, Falmouth, and the south-western comities, and moreover will form the high-road Into the centre of Wales from the northern and midland counties. Thus, the manufactures and minerals of the extensive and rapidly increasing iron works, and collieries of Shropshire, and the salt works of Cheshire, as well as the immense agricultural produce from those counties, the Valley of the Severn, Herefordshire, and the centre of ale, will reach the markets and ports of Lancashire, Wshire,s Gl ouces tershire, Devonshire, and Cornwall, by a Worcester- rapid and cheap transit. It is considered that the present traffic between the various towns on the line of the proposed railway will secure a profitable return upon the capital ; but when the increase which will arise from the completion of the railway, and the through-traffic consequent thereon are taken into account, there can be no doubt that the undertaking will prove one of the most desirable investments in the kingdom. As the line from Stourport to Shrewsbury will traverse the Valley of the Severn, the works in that district must of necessity be llght and easy ; the country also betwee n Shrewsbury and Crewe is well adapted for the construction of a railway.

CHRIST CHURCH, EXETER The recent melancholy' events which have disturbed the Diocese of Exeter, and which, it is feared, cannot be satisfactorily settled, have largely contributed to establish the necessity for a Free Episcopal Church. The party within the pale of the Establishment, who denounce the Protestant Reformation, and labour without ceasing to subvert its principles, cannot be sufficiently held in check in a diocese like Exeter, where they are notoriously favoured by the Bishop, witheut some large and determined effort to provide for the due celebration of the services of the Church, in connexion with the faithful ministry of the Gospel, free from the control of the ecclesiastical ruler. To provide then for those who have been driven from their paro chial edifices by the semi-popish teaching of the clergy, it has been felt needful to obtain ground in a central part of the city, on which to erect a large and commodious church ; the hall opened a- few months since in Fore-street having proved quite insufficient to ac commodate the numerous congregation. Christ Church is now erecting In East Southernhay—one of the beet situations in Exeter, and on the borders of the two populous parishes of St. Sidwell's and Trinity. It will be constructed to seat 1,400 persons ; four hundred of the sittings will be free. The cost of the ground and building, with other expenses, will exceed 4,0001. The friends of Protestant truth throughout the country are re spectfully invited to sympathise with their brethren at Exeter, by aiding with their contributions this spirited undertaking. An opportunity is thus afforded them, not only to strengthen the hands of a small band, who, trusting in God, have commenced this work, but to record their attachment to these principles which have been esteemed the glory of Great Britain, and the distinguishing excellence of her religious institutions. _ _ ---- —..— , Contributions for the Christ Church Building Fund will be received for Henry Crofts, Esq., the Treasurer, at the City Bank, Exeter ; and at Messrs.

In 1841 the Company declared an addition to the Shareholders of one-half of their Stock, and also added a Bonus of 2/. per cent. per annum, on the Sum insured to all Policies of the Participating Class from the time they wets effected.

To the PROPRIETOR'S of the BRITANNIA LIFE ASSURANi GENTLEMEN, — In ENTLEMEN,—; sru c v a lat ning addresstahnea tCOMPANY. your h Company.aprobablefew the establishment of a Mutual Assurance Branch, I beg leave to ti o o f n t s ho to pr 3 o -o po u sredelaetxivteentsolotnheofptahset op the atteiiton to the annexed Notice of That the " Britannia" Company has enjoyed the decided anublic. d (I trust I may be permitted to say) deserved approbation of the p 6,000 is clearly proved by the unprecedented fact of upwards of policies having been issued in the short sPace of e i g ht years. In order, however, to show the high degree a cre dit and influence pos sessed by the Company, it is only necessary for me to state , that two highly respectable and well-established Life Assurance Com p anies have successively transferred their business to th i s e stablishment. in the year 1840 ; the The former of these transfers t oo k place latter in the course of the past year. It is in consequence of this last-mentioned tran sfer, which includ ed a large number of Policies effected on them utua l a ssurance plan , and also in consequence of the numerous applications for Assurances on this plan, which they have hitherto been compelled to decline, that the Directors at length determined on the establishment of a Mutual Pros pectus, after it Assurance Branch, on the plan set forth in the v ed by, two succes - ia lly convened on the had been submitted to, and unanimously Appro sive General Meetings of Proprietors, s p ec occasion. The general objection to Mutual Assuranc compl e te security to the oc i e ties, that (in their infancy, at least) they do not affor d that Assured which is supplied by the subscribed p Branch of the ital of Proprietary E s tablishments, is completely removed in the Mutual " Britannia" Company ; for not only are t he th Proprietary Branch, Mu t u al Policy-holders protected by the entire subscribed capital of accum ulated from the but the large and continually-increasing fund, P re miums on 6,000 Policies alrea d y effected in that Branch , consti payment of the claims of totes an immediately avail able fund for th ecu rity becom e entitled to all the e the Assured, who will th us enjoy all the s affor ded by an old es t a blished office, and, at the s ame time, skutual Assurance which benefits to be derived from that system 0f , .- experience has proved to be at the same tints safest and the the best. Assurance Plan ( as gene- Another serious objection to the Mutue 1 dto rally acted on) is the high rate of premium requ re f be paid, in the flag instance, in order to form a fund —not only or the payment of the claims, but also for the distribution of large bonuses among th e olicy-holders. This objection also is entirely re moved by means of the half credit system detailed in the prospectus. For, by allowing half the amount of the "first five annual premiums to remain for five years in the hands of the person assured, and applying the bonus (to which be would otherwise become entitled) to the gradual liquida tion of the debt thus incurred with the Company' the policy-holder enjoys the rare advantage of a very low rate of premium, in the first instance, combined with that of a full participation, eventually, in the profits. In availing myself of this opportunity of congratulating my co- shareholders on the extraordinary success which hitherto has at tended the operations of the Britannia Life Assurance Company, I trust I shall, at no very distant period, have still further to congratu late them on the complete success of the Mutual Assurance Branch, which, after the most anxious care and attention, has been founded on a plan calculated, in every possible wa y, to benefit and accommo date the public. I cannot, in justice to the Directors, conclude this address without calling your attention to the able and cordial co-operation which has been afforded to me on their part, not only on the present important occasion, but also in every other instance in which their advice and assistance have been needfUl for promoting the interests of the Insti -1 have the honour to be, Gentlemen, tution.

Russell and Mr. Little appeared on behalf of the relators. Mr. ROUT appeared on behalf of the defendant, the Rev. Alexander Munro. The very principle of the Scotch Church was one of self-government, and this was proved by the Book of Discipline of Knox, and by the writings of Andrew Melva. The views which the Free Church entertained were unques tionably the views which were entertained by a majority of the Church of Scotland in the year 1832. The Veto Act passed in 1834. He would admit that his client did not approve of the system of lav patronage; but he had never done any act to show whether he still belonged to the Esta blished Church or to the Free Church. The deed referred to the doctrines of the Established Church at a particular pe riod, and it was not proved that Mr. Munro had ever ex pressed opinions contrary to those doctrines. Mr. WIGRAM and Mr. SELWYN appeared for the defend ants. After addressing the Court at some length, they took an objection on the ground that the deeds relating to this property were informal, inasmuch as they had not been en rolled according to the provisions of 9th Geo. 11., cap. 36. His HONOUR said that, some of the defendants having ex ercised their undoubted right of raising a question in this case, founded on the statute of the 9th of Geo. 11., and if all parties concurred in thinking that the objection was ap plicable, it became the duty of the Court first to consider that question. The order, therefore, would be this : let the defendant James Burt, the elder, naming also the other de fendants, be restrainod from permitting or allowing the church, buildings, &c., in the pleadings mentioned, to be used for any other purpose than Divine worship and service ac cording to the rites, forms, and usages of the Established Church of Scotland, by a minister or licentiate who has been ordained or licensed according to the doctrines and rites used under the authority of the Established Church of Scotland, and from doing any act or procuring any act to be done by which the said church, building, &c., might become liable to be used for any purpose save as aforesaid, and let the defendants Marshall, Burt, and Stewart be restrained from conveying any estate or interest which they might have acquired by virtue of the indenture of the 16th of February, 1844, in any manner otherwise than in giving effect to the trusts declared of and concerning the said trusts by the said deed of tke 4th of April, 1832. This order was to be without prejudice to any question whether any injunction should be granted against the said Alexander Munro, or any further injunction should be granted against the other defendants, or any of them, without prejudice to any question as to the extent of relief to be granted at the hearing of the cause. It would be for the relators to prosecute it with dispatch. He would hear it whenever the parties were ready. COURT OF QUEEN'S BENCH, April 22. (Sittings in Banco).

The present appeal was brought against a judgment of the first division of the Court of Session, suspending a charge at the instance of the appellants, originally directed against the deceased, Edward Henderson, and afterwards transferred against his widow, the respondent, for payment of the balance due upon a bond granted to the Royal Bank of Scotland by the company of Sceales, Henderson, and Co. In the begin ning of the year 1836 a proposal was made to the late sus pender, Edward Henderson, by ,Mr. Adolphus Meiklejohn Sceales, to form a co-partnery in business with him. Mr. A. M. Sceales, who resided with his father, Mr. Andrew Sceales, of the Customs, Leith, had been previously en gaged in business as a wine merchant, under the desig nation of A. M. Sceales and Co., and it was proposed that the same business should be continued, and that the new firm should be that of Sceales, Henderson, and Co. Mr. Henderson had not previously been in busi ness, and was unacquainted with its details. He agreed to enter into the partnership proposed by Mr. A. M. Sceales, the arrangements for which were made with the full know ledge of Mr. Andrew Sceales. A bond of co-partnership was entered into, and the question was as to the extent of the obligation incurred under the terms of the bond by each of the subscribers to it. Mr. Rutherford and Mr. Gordon appeared for the ap pellant ; and Mr. Kelly and Mr. Anderson for the respondent. The Lords ultimately reversed the judgment of the Court below. VICE-CHANCELLORS' COURTS, April 22. (Before Sir L. SIIADWELL.) PEARSON V. THE LONDON AND CROYDON RAILWAY etOMPANY. Mr. STUART (with whom was Mr. Malins) was heard in conclusion of this argument, in support of the demurrer of the Company. Mr. James Parker supported the Bill. His Hortouti said the case was a very clear one. It was true the thing was not expressed as clearly as it might have been, but still it was clear enough. The second resolution alluded to the 10th of August, but it was so worded that the date was not annexed to the expressions regarding those who were registered owners, but only applied to those who held scrip, if they should bring their scrip to be registered on or hefoire the 10th of August. But it would be rather whim sical to put this construction, that with respect to registered shareholders they might at any time claim their shares, but for those who had scrip they should only obtain their shares on or before the 10th of August. Although it was not ex pressed clearly before the 4th resolution at what time regis tered shareholders should make their application, that reso lution, however, removed all doubt, for it expressed in the plainest language that the shares which should not have been applied for on or before the 10th, should be distributed among those who had applied before the 10th of August. His Honour, therefore, allowed the demurrer. The suit, it wall be recollected, arose from the accident that Sir Edward Pearson ,was at Naples when the resolutions were passed, and had not time, therefore, to make his appli cation as a registered shareholder on or before the . 10th of August, as he did not, in fact, hear of the resolutions till after that date. (Before Sir J. L. KNIGHT BRUCE.) TILE ATTORNEY-GENERAL V. MUNRO. This was an information filed by the Attorney-General at the relation of James Kennedy, John Shepherd, George Spence, James Young, William Kennedy, John Frazer, David Johnstone, on behalf of themselves, all i other the en rolled c ommunicants and pew or seat-holders n the church in St. Peter's-square, in Manchester, and of all other persons, if any, entitled to the benefit of the trusts declared by the indenture of the 4th day of April, 1832, except those who were severally defendants thereto. The relators objected to the doctrines of Mr. Munro. Under these circumstances the relators insisted that Mr. Munro could not come within th e description in the deed of constitution that he must be considered as no longer belonging to, or in communion with, the Established Church of Scotland ; and that, therefore, he ought to be restrained by the injunc tion of the Court, from conducting Divine worship and service, or otherwise officiating, in the Scotch Church in St. Peter's-square, Manchester, and to restrain the defendant, James Burt, the el der, and others, from p ermittin g o r allowing the church, &c., to be used for any other purpose than for Divine worship and service, in connexion with, and according to the uses of the Established Church of Scotland. The motion also prayed for an injunction to restrain several other defendants from conveying or assigning any estate or intend in the lame church, &c.. ) otherwise than for the pnr- ART-UNION OF LONDON.

THE MAYNOOTH BILL. ADJOURNED AGGREGATE PROTESTANT MEETING Last night a meeting was held in the large room of Exeter hall, being an adjournment of the one lately held in Covent garden Theatre. The principal object of the meeting was to decide upon what steps it was necessary to take in con sequence of the second reading of the Maynooth Bill being carried in the House of Commons. On the motion of Mr. LORD, secretary to the Anti-May nooth Committee, the Most Noble the Marquis of Breadalbane was called to the chair. The meeting was opened by the Rev. Dr. HOLLOWAY offering up a prayer ; after which the Rev. Mr. MELVILLE read the 2d Psalm. The Marquis of BREADALBANE, who was received with loud cheers, said—Ladies and gentlemen, it is with very great diffidence I have undertaken the duties of the chair. I have had very little time to consider the important ques tion upon which you are assembled to deliver your opinions. I was anxious rather to follow than to lead on this question, and to have confined my exertions more especially to that place in which I hold a seat. I thought perhaps in doing so I might be serving the Protestant cause in a more efficient manner—(Hear, hear, and cheers)—but as I was requested most earnestly on this occasion to take the chair, I resisted my own scruples, and gave way to those who are so anxious that I should attend here.—(Cheers.) Having said thus much, I shall address to you very few words upon the im portant subject on which we are assembled. We are called here to deliver our opinions in a firm, but, I trust, a tempe rate manner—(Cheers)—upon a great principle, affecting the best interests of our country, and especially the interests of our Protestant religion.—(Loud cheers.) A measure has lately been introduced by her Majesty's Government to give an additional grant to the Roman Catholic College of Maynooth, to perpetuate that grant by law, and to take the money from the public funds of the country.—(Hear, hear.) Thus the members of the Protestant Church of this country, and those Protestant Christians who dissent:from that Establish ment ; the Presbyterians of Scotland, and those who secede from the Presbyterian Establishment, will be called upon to contribute to that which is contrary to their scruples, and contrary to the spirit of Protestantism.—(Loud cheers.) They will be called upon by law to contribute to this Catho lic endowed college—a college of priests to sow the seeds of Catholicism—to instruct the people of Ireland in the Roman Catholic religion—a measure which appears to and much more objectionable in its principles than even if we were called upon to endow the whole Roman Catholic priesthood of Ire land. But the measure now introduced is based on such arguments and principles, that its supporters even confess that the endowment of a Roman Catholic establishment must be the necessary consequence. It appears to me that this measure —although em anatin g from a man who isces, at the head of her Majesty's Gov ernment, and for whoTasltan have very great respect — (Chee rs) —a man who in many re t I a disposition to act for the best think, since he took the helm of t.hneteGreosvtes rn of me th n e l t' co h im as evinced Y the great Protestant feelin g which exists in this realm—has not been introduced into Parliament with that deference to who, I must say, in this case has not sufficient considered t h e Protestant faith wh ich ou g ht ever to actuate the Go vernment of this great empire.—(Cheers.) I regret that in the difficulty in which that Right Hon. Baronet was placed, in relation to the circumstances by which the Government of Ireland was surrounded, that in an hour of indiscretion—an hour when wisdom certainly did not guide him—when that Protestant spirit which should ever guide the Government of this country, especially in all matters concerning religious endowments —that in an hour of difficulty with regard to Ire land, the Government should have proposed a measure which appears to me fraught with danger.—(Cheers.) It is for us to raise our voices in a temperate, a firm, and a constitutional manner against it.—(Cheers.) We are assembled to resist this measure, and to make known our opinions to her Majesty's Government and to the Legislature, that we consider what they have done is inconsistent with our Protestant principles and with the best i n t eres t s o f t h e country. The question is an exten sive one; an d t h ere are many topics which might be dilated upon, but having opened the proceedings, having st a t e d the great object for which we are assembled, and having stated to you that I have not sufficiently prepared myself to o at length into tiu e o t en a s di n s t, h , I wo s s et h og a e l m l n to n l ve o em t te a hn d e dwrr who s s oo s lhu y aj o i, oe u n gs a.i —(The e (n f T u t furthlength,er uobbjleeetis ieae rnq b au u i di t se r r e a - re sumed his seat amidst great cheering.) The Rev. J. T. ROBINSON, Rector of St. Andrew's, Hol born, moved the first resolution. Hitherto he had stood aloof from public meetings, but now, when danger was threatening the cause of which he was a minister, he had, as the pastor of a large and populous district, been induced to come forward in vindication of the Protestant principles in which he had been educated.—(Hear, and loud cheers.) If there was one truth more firmly rooted in his mind than /~ another—(At this moment Mr. Pox Mauls made his ap pearanc on the platform, and was received with great cheers) —:f there was one truth more firmly rooted in his mind than another, it was that Popery was damnable idolatry.—(Loud cheers and hisses.) With this conviction he had no hesitation as to the course he should pursue in re gard to any measure that might be proposed to support it. —(Cheers.) It was said that the measure was for the better education of the Roman Catholic priests. But what was Roman knowledge ca l di y d not mean that the bad men, but he did th w ol i i t c h p ou ri t ests prin were cipi n e Les slei professed, education would have the tendency of making them say that in canjuction with such religious principles . as they worse instead of better men. The Rev. Gentleman then read the resolution expressive of surprise and indignation that the House of Commons, after the general expression testant feeling throughout the c ountr y , agreed to the second reading of the Bill. He should have was prepared for the course the House of Commons were taking, of thrusting the measure throug h the House, beedless of the wishes of the great body of the Protestant com munity. The conduct of Sir Robert Peel towards a deputa tion, which had waited on kim to point out the impolicy of the measure he had brought forward, might be aptly illustrated by these words :—" Sic robs, sic jubeo; stet pro ratio= voluntas."—(Cheers.) He would tell the light Hon. Baronet that he had aroused a feeling in the country which he was not aware of, for he thought he had mesmerised the people. —(Laughter.) But the Protestants were not prepared to give up their principles at the wish of any man, and they ought to oppose, by every means in their power, the endow ment of the Roman Catholic religion—for, in reality, such would be the ultimate object of the principle of the grant, if once adopted.—(Cheers.) The Rev. ARTHUR TIDMAN, Foreign Secretary to the London Missionary Society, seconded the resolution. He said it was generally conceded that the introduction into the • British Senate of the principle laid down by the Premier was of a new character, and that it would be followe d b y results which, when they once began, who could tell to what they would lead, or what change they might effect ? He admitted that Ireland was a suffering country, and required improvement ; but its unfortunate condition was to be ascribed to the machinations of a bigoted priesthood. He denied, on the part of the Protestants of this count'''. any desire to destroy the rights of their Raman Catholic fellow-subjects.—(Cheers.) He would give to the Roman Catholics as much as he asked for himself, and considered it was unfair to tax him for another man's religion. He then passed a glowing panegyric on the beauty and simplicity of the Protestant religion, and it was for its stability that he had to contend. The Rev. C. J. GOODHEART, of St. Mary's chapel, Reading, censured Sir Robert Peel for the course he had adopted in supporting a religion which would have the effect of tearing the crown from her Majesty's head.—(Cheers.) He was astonished how he could stand by her side with his Bible in his hand, and act as he had done—that was if he read or believed his Bible.—(Cheers and laughter.) The Popish. Church was the mother of harlots and of all abominations — (Cheers)—and he could not but pity those benighted indi • viduals who were members of that Church. Wherever Popery prevailed there existed misery and unhappiness. — (Cheers.) If they were asked why they met in that way, he would tell them they did so because the Protestants did not support them as they should. If they had the Ca tholic Emancipation Bill would not have passed into a law. —(Cheering and uproar.) The question was, whether the Protestants of England would be ready, when the day of reckoning came, to oppose the extension of the Popish reli gion. If they did this England would preserve her religion, her constitution, and her crown.—(Cheers.) The resolution was then carried by acclamation. EDWARD BAINES, jun., Esq., of reeds, rose to propose the second resolution, protesting against the utter disregard shown by the majority of the House of Commons to the peti tions and remonstrances of the Protestant community, and thanking the minority for the course they bad taken on last Friday evening. He said he had come up from the country to aid the cause. It had pleased the Hon. Member for Edin burgh (Mr. Macaulay), and the Hon. Member for Danger von (Mr. Sheil) to cast vituperations upon those who met at Exeter Hall. Such aspersions came with abed grace from Mr. Macaulay, who at one time represented the Dissenters of Leeds, and now the Presbyterians of Edinburgh, and who had been associated with the progress and extension of the Protestant religion, and the course he had taken was unworthy of his name, of his talents, or of his obligations.—(Cheers.) He would admit that nonsense was sometimes talked in Exeter Hall ; but if there were any Members of Parliament there, they would admit that Exeter Hall had not a monopoly of that article—(Laughter)—the walls of St. Stephen's did not always echo to absolute wisdom. Witk reference to the speech of Mr. Sheil, the assertions he had made were most uncalled-for. Then with respect to Mr. Cobden's speech,' in which he stated that he thought it would be more desirable that there should be less theology and more logic introduced into the debate—(Laughter)—he thought the Hon. Member himself had introduced less logic than theology into his speeches in that House.—(Laughter.) Mr. Cobden sup ported the proposition, because he considered it an educa tional, not a theological grant, but he (Mr. Baines) was firmly of opinion that it would be the means of propagating the Roman Catholic faith.—(Cheers.) It was no reason, because one man gave money to support Maynooth, that he should follow his example. If the Parliament passed the Act the blame would rest with them, not with the people, who, he believed, were strongly opposed to it. Was it right that Sir R. Peel should sacrifice the consciences of the people of England to pacify Ireland, which had no right to such a grant? He was in favour of governing that country in a spirit of mildness and conciliation ; but what he was opposed to was that the Protestant reli gion of England should be made tributary to the Roman Catholic religion of Ireland.—(Great cheering.) He called upon them to unite as one man, and to do their utmost to prevent the carrying out of the measure now before the House of Commons. He could not conscientiously give one farthing to support the Roman Catholic religion. Was it for such a measure as this that the great Reformers of the Church had laboured to free religion from the bigotry and superstition which at one time degraded and enslaved it?—(Cheers,) JAMES Cuatatnes, Esq.. seconded the resolution. He said the happiness of the Queen and the safety of Europe were at stake in this question, and when so much was at stake it was their duty to unite and defend them. The only impediments which Sir Robert Peel expected to be raised against the grant were—first, the unwillingness of the Catholic priests to accept it—(Laughter)—and secondly, the determined hostility of the people of England to it.—(Cheers.) The first was a nallity—(Laughter)—and the second a great fact— , _ nysri ve.Uni bn i.nd Insovel that. vtinrht ha had nn tion of the people of this country.— G reat ch eering ana waving of handkerchiefs, which lasted for some seconds.) Men of different opinions met there in a spirit of amity, because they were bound together by the Bible. It was because they believed that Popery was op- I posed to the word of God that they had met there to oppose it.—(Cheers and hisses.) Maynooth was to be made a nur sery of Popery against the word of God, and care was taken that Protestants should not penetrate into it and examine the education taught there. The second resolution was put and carried unanimously. The Rev. THOMAS MORTIMER then rose to propose the next resolution, and was received with great cheering. The resolution was in substance condemnatory of Popery, and calling on all Protestants to resist its encroachments. It had not been his intention to attend the meeting, but he had yielded to the wishes of the committee, and had come there to bear testimony to the importance of the subject to the best interests of religion. He thought the Protestant religion was the true one, and that it must prevail; but they were not united as they ought to be for its protection. They must talk together, sing together, pray together, and commemo rate the dying love of the Saviour together.—(Cheers.) Sir Harry Inglis had made him a present of a stick—oh ! how unworthy he was to receive it—which he wished he had brought to his Lordship—a stick which Sir Harry had brought from Marathon. They wanted the men of Mara thon there to aid them.—(Cheers.) He had two silver cru cifixes, which had grown black in his cupboard, that he in tended presenting to the committee in aid of their funds in opposing the grant to Maynooth.—(Cheers.) Would they just look in their cupboards, and see if they could find some thing there which they could present to the committee in aid of the funds?—(Laughter.) Sir C. E. Salim seconded the motion. He thought that . _ Dissenters ought to aid them in defence of the Principles enunciated that night, for they were equally interested with those belonging to the Established Church. A formal de claration was made by her Majesty at her coronation to the effect that she would support the Protestant religion, and it was, therefore, inconsistent for her Ministers openly and dis tinctly to propose an endowment of a Roman Catholic college in opposition to that declaration, and in direct opposition to conduct reat body of the people.—(Cheers.) He deprecated the of Sir Robert Peel, and called upon the meeting to protect the Protestant religion. The Rev. WM. CHALMERS (a member of the Free Church of Scotland) rose to support the resolution. lie said the Church of which lie was a minister was ready to aid them in the struggle. However much the House of Commons might sneer at Exeter Hall, he thought that the motion was too clearly worded to give them any reason to call them an " organised hvpocrisy."—(Clieers.) He then proceeded With much vigour to show the effects that would result from the fostering of the Catholic religion, contending that that reli gion was founded in error, and that the Government propo position would endanger the safety of the Church ; and called its 0 n d e w f e n n u c l e d . h e T a h e w r a e r In c e p one, tion a o n f d M h r e . would p oa o ue n ladu t bl h ae e y : a ut to gthh teu whatuni e t e x t i s ne t l u e ff the people of England were made of.—(Cheers.)

It was the duty of the Dissenters in Lambeth, Southwark, and the Tower Hamlets, to show their representatives that the conduct they had pursued with respect to the Government proposition had forfeited their confidence and their seats. This resolution was also carried.

It bad been said that the Roman Catholic religion was superstitious and idolatrous, and that her Majesty swore it was so. Now he could prove it to be blasphemous as well.—(Cheers.) To do this, he need only refer to an extract from a sermon which was delivered by . a Romish priest so late as the month of August last year, in the presence of a Titular Romish Archbishop :—" Any person who practises the reading of the Bible will inevit ably fall into everlasting destruction.
