The Real Magic Strop," " The Double Magic Strop," " The Magic Strop," are all base imitations of MECIII'S MAGIC STROP. None aro genuine without Mechi's name, which imitators dare not put on the spurious strop; yet, strange to say, many perfumers call ing themselves respectable, endeavour to palm this rubbish (they cost from 3d. to sd. each in Sheffield) on the public as Mechi's genuine strop, although they possess no sharpening properties whatever, but the very reverse.

In short, every peculiarity relating to the treatment of the diseases incidental to the generative system, and the means of immediate relief and ultimate cure are described in detail. The professional reputation of Lr. La'Mert, who has taken the most distinguished medical and academic honours at home and abroad. Is in itself a sufficient naranteo that those who may place themselves under his care will, in every instance, meet with that delicate consideration and , inviolable secrecy which are so requisite in the treatment of these cases.

THE IMPRISONED MAVIAL ?Yesterday a public meeting of the members and friends of the Protestant Alliance was held in Exeter Hall, "to adopt resolutions respecting the persecutions in Tuscany, and the aspect of Popery in this country." The Earl of Cavan and Captain Trotter attended, as part of the deputation to Florence, to give an account of the mission. The room was densely crowded._ The meeting having been opened with prayer by the Rey. Dr. Marsh, The CHAIRMAN said he felt that the occasion was one of deep interest and of great importance both to liberty and to religion. (Hear, hear.) An outrage had been committed upon the rights of conscience—an injustice perpetrated which was adapted to awaken the sympathy and arouse the attention of the whole civilised world. (Cheers.) The chief purpose of their assembling was to listen to some of the facts of the case from the lips of gentlemen of high character and position, whose veracity was beyond all question, and who had 'visited the spot ud examined into Ilk matter for themselves. The whole subject was deeply interesting to the minds of all who loved liberty, or cared for 14e cause of religion. Their object, however, was to 7ereaie a public opinion with regard to it throughout EY:ope—(loud cheers) — not merely to satisfy themselfes by their protests, and their pledges, and their expression of attach ment to their common Christianity, - but to circulate the real facts of the case, leaviyg, them to leaven in the mind until the whole of society should be leavened, and there should be dne general shout of indignation at the injustice which had been perpe trated. (Loud cheers.) They were called upon that day —they would be summoned by the facts which were about to be detailed—to act as missionaries for the Scriptures, and to contend for the inalienable right of every man to worship God according to the dictates of his conscience. (Cheers.) There)uust be nothing ne gative in their religion ; they, must not be supine on this question, but must feel it to be an all-absorbing Matter, talk to their children and neighbours about it, and, by calling meetings and attending to support them, aid in a general movement. in furtherance of the object. (Cheers.) He felt this to be a question which belonged not only to Protestants, but to Catholics. (Hear, hear.) There were, he was convinced, many intelligent and liberal-minded Catholics in this country ; but, if there were also some who desired to see a certain amount of slavery upon the human conscience, lie called upon them to reflect what could be more injurious to any system than to shun the light, and to show that it was afraid of the circulation of that revealed word whence Roman Catholics as well as Protestants, professed to have got the great facts of their religion ? It was for Roman Catholics to consider whether that was good policy ; and he trusted that, when all the facts of the case came to be circulated throughout the length and breadth of the land, many of their Roman Catholic fellow-subjects would come forward and protest against an aggression which was inconsistent not only with the principles of religion, but even with those of humanity. (Cheers ) The chairman concluded by reading a letter from the Earl of Roden. in which his lordship expressed regret at his inability to attend, in consequence of being detained by important business in Dublin. Similar letters had been received, it was stated, from Mr. Chetham, M.P. for Lancashire, and from Sir G. Goodman, of Leeds. ' Mr. T. CHAMBERS, M.P. moved the first resolution, which was as follows :—"That it has been the desire and prayer of the church of Christ in all ages, 'That God's way may be known upon earth, His saving health among all nations ;' that to the attainment of this end the free circulation of the Bible and the preaching of the gospel are the appointed means, to forbid the use of which means is to obstruct the progress of Christ's kingdom, and to deprive man of his highest privilege ; that it is therefore with mingled feelings of regret and indignation that this meeting has learned that there are at this moment many Christians immured in the dun geons of Tuscany, under no other charge than that of reading and distributing those Holy Scriptures, which are able to make men wise unto salvation, through faith that is in Christ Jesus.' " He felt, and he thought numbers present would agree with him, that there were recent indications en the continent that whatever states men, senators, or governors might desire, there was a certain influence which permeated, the whole mass of the governments on the continent and overruled statesman ship ; that by that influence goveinments were ruled and nations tyrannised over ; that, in point of fact, they had got to fight the whole battle over again, with this great advantage, however that the two armies were drawn up in hostile array for a fair contest of principle (hear, hear)—and that the plain issue to be decided was, whether a man was. to be allowed to read the message which God had sent to him, or whether he was to be deprived of that message. (Hear, hear, and cheers'.) Let Churchmen and Dissenters—sound Protestants of all parties—combine together to defend the bulwark of Pro testantism alike from the attacks which assailed it from without, and from the treachery which threatened it from within. (Cheers.) The Rev. W. W. CEipIPNETS, rector of Wlfitechapel, seconded the resolution. Mr. R. BEVAN sapported the reso l u ti on . The Earl of Cavhav then addressed the meeting, as a member of the deputation to the Grand Duke of Tuscany. He said the subject which had convened the meeting was he felt, one which was not limited•to Tuscany, but in volved the best interests, and even the very existence of their own country. (Hear, hear.) No one could have failed to observe the rapid progress which Popery had been making of late throughout Europe ; and he firmly believed that it had yet a very awful part to act in con nexion with the destinies of this island. A Roman Catholic journal ;n France —the Journal desiDebats— while denouncing the persecution of Tuscany, had de clared that it was Protestantism which had made England what she was ; and he believed this to be a noble truth. As regarded the mission to Florence, so much had already been said at public meetings by his esteemed friend Captain Trotter, and. so much had been printed too on the subject, that he should simply touch upon some of. the leading features, leaving it to his friend to supply anything material which ho might have omitted. He thought it was wisely determined to post pone for a time tie holding of a large public meeting in London ; for, by rousing the indignation of the public, it appeared not unlikely that' they might add to the severity of the teatment of the Madiai, and even pre vent their immediate release —an event which there hear.) N ot only had they been seemed good reison to expect. But they had—and there was no us 3 in concealing th e f ac t—b een d ece i ve d theHreewearre those i n a hi g h er pos i t i on than th e mselves who had been deceived a l so ; an d, a ft er a ll , , at b t u e r t . it was nothing sore than a carrying out of the principl es i d n e c t e h i e v e d m of the Roman Catholic religion to break faith with heretics, for if no oaths with them were binding, much less could promises be so. (Hear, hear.) It was a sub ject of rejoicing to the deputation to find, on their arrival in Florence, that there was no difference of opinion among them. They all felt that the simple object of their visit was to obtain the release of the two imprisoned Madiai, and to do everything with a single eye to the glory of God. No doubt many present had read the correspondence which took place with the Tus can minister, a statement of the subsequent application to the Grand Duke for an audience, and a report of the proceedings, and he trusted that this information would be printed in a portable form for the use of the public generally. (Hear, hear.) During • their stay the deputation endeavoured to ascertain, by means of visits to Christian people, what was the extent to which Protestant ideas had spread. Among those whom they thus visited was one at least who had been imprisoned since their return ; and the downcast countenance of numbers, showed how deep was their outward oppression, though in many cases, he trusted, it was combined with internal peace. The oppression was, indeed, greater than any one here could well understand. First, there was the oppression of the priests, whose numbers almost equalled those of the army ; then the oppression of the Austrian power ; and, lastly, the op pression of the gendarmes ; and, with all these to watch them, whether,they turned to the right or to the left, escape was no easy matter. They had no instruction in doctrinal matters, no churches or chapels, scarcely any Bibles ; and there was marked joy on their countenances when they received the smallest portion of Scripture. Some of them made an application to the Government to be allowed to meet together, with policemen to watch over them, declaring that their simple object was to 'ead God's Word and unite together in prayer, and that they had no desire whatever to interfere with political mat ters. It was almost needless to say that their request was refused, the desire of the Government being to crush Protestantism, which the reading of God's word tended to support. There was a touching incident connected with the case of Francesco Madiai, which was not perhaps generally known. The poor man was kept for a time in solitar y c onfinement ; an d so dee - plv oppreszed was his mind by the death - like silen ce which reigned in his cell, that he requested to be al lowed to have his watch in or de r that he might hear t h e ticking of it. The governor's reply was, however, that there was no need of watches for persons of his class, and so. the matter ended. His oppression almost put him out of his mind, and indeed Lord Roden had told him (the Earl of Cavan) that some of the expressions which the poor prisoner used to him convinced him that he was not then of perfectly sound mind. They had all heard, no doubt, of the severity of the Tuscan police law. Such, indeed, was the extent of that severity that it was in the power of a policeman to have any one in carcerated eight days on the bare suspicion of having a Bible in his possession ; while_ a magistrate could order imprisonment for 12 months on the mere information of ' one of the police. This was, however, simply carrying out the principles of Popery, which was the same every where if she had the power to be so. (Hear, hear.) He held in his hand a letter which it might interest the meeting to hear, it being one of the last letters of Rosa Madiai to her husband previous to the return of the de putation. Of course it was a translation :—" If you knew the pleasure which the news that you are better gave me ! It was very great, and tears of pleasure covered my cheeks—for two motives : first, that God has made you worthy of suffering with his dear Son ; and, secondly, that he restores your health. Oh !if we knew how to appreciate the degradations that we suffer for having confessed that there is but one Mediator between God and man ! My dear, you speak to me of expecting grace—pardon ; but permit me to tell you that the great pardon we have already received. How broken asunder are all our conjugal rights ; our house and goods scat tered like dust to the wind l we ourselves you see in what state. And, with all that, we would not make an exchange with all the treasures of -Pharoah, or lose that holy rest which the Holy Spirit has given us out of full grace. This I call grace (or pardon), and the great grace. If a star is again to shine for us, it can be but the star of justice, for we have done evil to no one, but, on the con trary, we have received evil. Selling us for a few fran cesconi (this alludes to the bribes which are known to have been given to their ungrateful betrayers and false witnesses), one for the sake of a shop gratis, another for 50 pieces of money, our accusers are the descendants of Judas ! Poor souls ! I pray that God may give them the tears of Peter, and not the punishment of Judas ; and that one day they may enjoy eternal glory. And if (la pariva) that poor woman who has been bought came and asked alms of me, as at other times, I would still give it her ; for which God help me.—Amen. My dear, let us be ready to do the will of the Father, as .it was done by his Son, our Master ! Let us not be troubled. Peter was troubled walking on the water, fearing the waves, and forgot that, since the Saviour walked towards him on the same waves, he should not fear. He feared them, and cried out, Lord save me ?' Tho hand of love succoured him, saying, ' Have a little faith, wherefore didst thou doubt ?' Yes, the waves of 1 this world too often makes us fear ,and the shame is ours. Let us remember the holy words, Though I walk through the valley of the shadow of death I will fear no evil, for I have not with me Thy and —2 My dear, rest upon the Lord, whether for prosperity or suffering, in bad as well as in good health. All passes. Eternity is the essen tial. Be cheerful and seek to restore your health. While there is that dear soul, do not give yourself the trouble to write me, since He will give me news of you. God bless you and cover you under the shadow of his wings for the sake of the grace of our Lord Jesus Christ.—Amen." In what an enviable - state of mind, after all, was this poor creature, suffering for righteousness' sake ! He must leave further details on this interesting subject to Captain Trotter. He would, however, remind the meet ing that they had s now set before them the true princi ples of Popery. She talked and blustered here a good deal about religious freedom ; but the freedom she wanted was freedom to oppress—(cheers)—and he repeated that they should care not to give her any facilities for that end. Before sitting down he wished to state, that an institution had lately been established in Geneva for the reception of Italian converts, and, as it was con ducted ably, and on a sound basis, he hoped it would receive countenance and support iu this country. It was a solemn fact, that there were in England others besides Romanists who were doing the work of Romanism. He heard, only on the previous day, from a lady whom he had the pleasure of meeting, that her sister, after sitting some time under the teaching of a clergyman in the diocese of Exeter, had recently been gently handed over by him to the Church ofßome. (Hear hear.) She was now in a convent at Taunton. Let them, then, while they had the Bible, make use of the Bible ; and if Romanists spoke not according to that, it was because there was "no light in them." (Cheers.) The resolution was then passed unanimously. The Hon. and Rev. B. Noun moved the following re solution :—" That this meeting desires gratefully to ac knowledge the efforts which have been made by the Earls of Roden and Cavan, and Captain Trotter, and by the foreign members of the late deputation to Tuscany, to obtain a remission of the sentence passed on Francesco and Rosa Madiai ; and having now seen the fruitlessness of any appeal to the humanity or the justice of the Tuscan Government, it authorises a memorial to be signed by the chairman, and presented to her most gracious Ma jesty, praying that, if that Government should continue to disregard the intercessions of the Protestant states of Europe, her Majesty will be pleased to take into her consideration the propriety of discontinuing all diplo matic relations with a court which could thus show itself indifferent alike to the dictates of humanity and to the claims of international friendship and cour tesy." He said ho was glad to take part in a meet ing so much in favour of humanity and religion. The Madiai were not dead ; they had not yet been brought to a premature death by cruel persecution ; and the purpose of that meeting was to exercise an influence by which their sufferings might be, if not terminated, at least much abbreviated—husband and wife having been sentenced respectively to 56 and 45 months' imprisonment. While Catholic journals dwelt much on the political aspect of this question, let them keep constantly in mind that it was not a political offence for which the prisoners were condemned, but what was termed the crime of impiety. . Nor had the nature of the alleged impiety been left to our vague sur mises ; in the sentence passed, it was stated to be the proselytism of the evangelical confession, or pure gospel. Their offence was, that they read the scrip tures. If these persons were criminals, every person in that meeting was a criminal— . (hear, hear)—for they had devised nothing more against the Government than any one in that assembly. Moreover, this persecution had happened in the dominions of a man of naturally mild temper, whose government had been remarkable among the governments of Italy for benevolence and gen tleness. Why, then, had the Grand Duke exhibited th;s steady, dogged determination ? It was because he was a a true Catholic—(hear, hear)—it was be cause he was conscientiously determined to uphold what was sacred in his faith. (Hear, hear.) They had heard it stated that Roman Catholicism could change. It was not the Roman Catholic who told them that ;ho knew it to be false. (Cheers.) Romanism could not change ; its dogmas were written in indelible characters by that council of ecclesiastics which, calling itself the church, had determined that persecution should be the-law of the church in all countries. The vicar of Christ ; the man who was said to exercise divine functions on earth, had given this direction : " In virtue of sacred obedience, and under the penal ties constituted by the sacred canons, and others heavier, even to deprivation, to be inflicted at our discretion, we command bishops and all other prelates that they diligently observe these same decrees and statutes in their churches, states, and dioceses, and cause them to be inviolably observed each by their inferiors, restrain ing all who contradict and are contumacious, by sen tences, censures, and ecclesiastical punishments con tained in these same decrees, without appeal, and calling in, if necessary, the aid of the secular arm." Not only was there this order of the Pope—the " Alter Dens in ferric," as he was often called by Roman Catholics— but the Council of Trent decreed as follows :—".lt re mains now that the sacred synod admonish all princes so to afford their help that they do not permit the things decreed by it to be depraved or violated by heretics, but that they be devoutly received, and faith fully observed by them and by all men. We admonish the emperor himself and all Christian kings and princes that they support the prelates whenever it is necessary, by their help and favour ; and that they do not permit any opinions opposed to the sound and salutary doctrine of the council to be received by the people of their dominion, but that they altogether interdict them." Now, what had the Grand Duke of Tuscany done but obey and execute these commands of the Pope and Council ? (Hear, hear.) He had interdicted the use of the Bible because the Pope and the Council of Trent had interdicted it. What was the difference between his position and that of the Duke of Alva, who was gover nor of the Low Countries at the close of the 16th cen tury, or of Charles IX., who was at the same period King of France ? (Hear, hear.) Goaded on by the Pope of that day, Charles IX. sentenced all his Pro testant subjects to extermination, shot at them, while flying, with his own hand ; kicked the dead coun tenance of the most gallant and glorious man in his dominions, Admiral Coligny, and when his courtiers complained of the smell of the body, replied in the words —" The smell of a dead enemy is sweet." (Hear, hear.) All this the monarch did because the Church of Rome had taught him to do it. Pope Pius V. was sainted for the part which he took in these proceedings ; and by what method could Pope Pius IX. more directly aspire to saintship than by directing the Grand Duke of Tuscany to immolate on the altar of bigotry as many Protestants as he could capture ? (Hear.) He believed there were many Roman Catholics in this country who . did not approve of the Tuscan persecution ; but they must recollect that the Tablet, which took the lead in talent among the Roman Catholic journals, had throughout defended the conduct of the Grand Duke, while the Catholic Standard, though it differed in some degree from the Tablet, took special pains to inform them that, the difference was but small. The opinion of the editor of the Catholic Standard was expressed in these terms : "For a rampant, ranting, evangelical defamer, denouncer and persecutor of British Catholics, to ask their assistance in releasing a pair of hireling evangelisers from a Tuscan prison is about the coolest piece of assurance on record." (Laughter.) Was not that enough to prove that the Roman Church has not lost its proper motto, "Semper eadem ?" (Cheers.) Roman Catholi cs would not advo cate here the doctrine that Englishman should be impri soned and destroyed for their religion ; they dare not say that in this country—(cheers)—but for men living in this capital to say that it was impudence to ask for a mitigation of the wrongs of these poor persecuted people, and impudence to ask Catholics who might be believed to have generous f ee li ngs, to aid inthe work—this, he maint a i ne d, was at least unworthy of s Englishmen. B u t l e t th em l ook again atthe feelings o manifested. This was th e l ast exhibitin • "Lord r by the Frankfort is clothed i n th e coarse garb worn meanest prisoner in Coldb a th-fi e ld s House of Correction, and his lordship is exemp t e d f rom breaking stones upon payment of a crow n a wee k for his prison dietary only —junk beef, coarse b rea d, an d oatmeal gruel. Yet no one thinks of remonstrating against the FMI4. i.nr.+;rsv, nobleman who has violated the law of his country to this degradation. But all Europe is stunned with the clamour raised by a pack of fanatics, every one of whom is a persecutor in heart, and would be an exterminator if he or she had the power—because two Italian menials are made amenable to the laws of their country." That was thought an excellent sentence, no doubt ; but to him it indicated the very essence of that church of Rome which he detested. (Cheers.) If nobles had been imprisoned, then a deputation might have been sent over, and would have been worthy of attention ; but they were menials. (Hear, hear.) Why, it was the glory of Christianity that it raised the menial—(cheers)---:tha " in Christ Jesus there is neither barbarian nor Scythian, bond nor free." (Loud cheers.) The Madiai were their brethren in the hope of immortality • and whether they were menials or nobles made no difference. It was the glory of this country that the poorest man in the streets was protected equally with the nobility ; and what they wished to do was, to secure for Florence the same equa lity of rights with regard to religion. However a Ro man Catholic editor might pour contempt on the depu tation—for ouch men could rail when they could not reason—they might appeal from him to one who made pity for the poor and the oppressed the very test of dis cipleship. Gladly, then, did he tender a vote of thank to the members of the a deputation. It mightlbe said that the deputation, by its impertinent interference, had done nothing but rivet the chains it sought to unloose. If so, it had marked , more , clearly than it was marked before the indomitable hatred of - the Roman Catholic Church to Protestantism and to Protestant piety. But the effect would not stop there. That meeting was the pre- Miner of many others. (Hear, hear.) If they could not appeal to the generosity of Roman Catholic gentle men, or to their sense of what was r i g ht— an d h e be lieved that with numbers such an appeal would not be in vain— (hear, hear)—at least they could appeal to the policy of the coldest priest, they could appeal to the policy of a Church which had never Apt' accused of been unskilful in that respect. (Hear, hear.) Let these meetings go on, let them extend throughout the land, and then a deputation larger, more zealous, more trembling, than that which was sent from this country, would be found first at the Vatican, and th en a t the palace in Tuscany, to say to those who held the keys of the Madiai's prison, " Let them loose, or we are undone ; you are doing us an amount of mischief in England which all your continental money cannot annihilate ; you are convincing the people of England that our church remains just as bitter, just as implacable, just as intole rant, as she was in the days when the Protestants of France, and of the Low Countries, and of Piedmont, and of every part of the known world, were sent to the rack, and to the stake, and to the torture, for holding the very principles which Englishmen maintain." (Loud and long-continued applause.) They were called fana- tics for exhibiting so much sympathy for the Madiai. Such a charge sounded strange from Ro man Catholics. What did the meeting think of the following . advertisement in a Roman Catholic news- paper ? Our Ladye of Grace of Acton.—Our Ladye of Grace of Acton has well nigh 100 poor children, but she has no funds for either school or teacher. Our Ladye of Grace of Acton has a priest with a cure of 1,500 souls, chiefly poor labouring men and women dispersed through the villages of Acton , Ealing, Turnham-o-reen, Chiswick, Sutton, and part of Brentford ; but she has b neither church for her people, nor rectory for her priest. Our Ladye of Grace of Acton sits in her poor damp cellar weep ing. Such the sole shelter she has for herself, her children., her people, her priest —aye, ev en f or th e glorious presence of her son. Oh !—" VO3 011121C3 qui transitis per viant"—can you do nothing for our Ladye 'of Grace of Acton, noble and rich ladies and gen tlemen, with pleasant houses, and bright, fair, happy children—converts who owe your happiness to this same sweet ladye—good Christian people all, who profess yourselves servants of Mary? Money will console her —money will teach her poor neglected children--money will build a church for herpeople, and a tabernacle for her son—and nothing but money will do these things. Ah ! send, then, some aid, even though the most trifling— .even a postage-stamp. Never was need more dire than this." (Laughter.) Though he thought this country might just as properly abandon its diplomatic relations with Tuscany as with the most atrocious savage on earth, yet as diplomacy was not a mere matter of com pliment, the resolution was, it would be observed, very cautiously framed. What was desired was, that they should as a nation manifest their hatred of this atrocious conduct by nature of the relations main- tamed, and that the Grand Duke must not expect any friendliness from this country if he continued to persecute those who showettheir convictions. (Cheers.) Sir IVVERNEY seconded the resolution. The resolution was passed unanimously. Capt. TROTTER then addressed the meeting as a member of the deputation to Florence. He commenced by ex pressing his gratitude at seeing such deep interest and sympathy manifested on behalf of the poor Bible-readers of Florence, adding that there were now in the state of Tuscany upwards of 20,000 persons who had become more or less convinced of the errors of popery. The Madiai were, he observed, of a most respectable class in life. Previous to their incarceration they were highly esteemed by the other converts for their devoted and consistent Christianity, and even Roman Catholics respected them for their modest and consistent deportment. Rosa Madiai was suffering in prison from - a spinal complaint ; and though she had been re moved in consequence (as was understood) from one cell to another, there was no improveme n t i n h er posi tion, the oell being so damp that the very shoes on her feet had become mouldy. Her cell and her posi tion were described to him by Lord Roden, who visited her, in the following manner. The cell was a small one. Though condemned to hard labour, she was employed Airily in light needle-work. A small stool was chained to one corner of the cell ; in an other part was a bench, also chained ; and the two were so far apart that, though afflicted with spinal disease, she was unable to rest her feet on the bench while sitting on the stool ; nor was the bedstead in a position which made it available for this purpose. None but those who had been afflicted with spinal disease could tell what it was for her to be thus situated. The meeting had been told that the punishment for reading the Scriptures was death. That the law was not meant to be inoperative would appear from the fact, that the old guillotine, which was put away as use less at Lucca, had recently been cleaned up, and brought back to Florence; and in the last month a guillotine man was appointed at a regular salary, and was now waiting to execute any poor Bible reader who might be transferred to his bands. (Hear, hear.) As an illustra tion of the means which were being used by the Roman Catholic clergy to stop the Protestant work in Florence, he would just mention one fact. A young man in that city, who had a sister who had just returned from a con vent, where she had been educated for some years, while sitting in his father's house, observed a letter on the table directed to the priest who was confessor and in structor to his sister during her residence in the convent. Without any particular object, he took it up, when his eyes became rivotted on some words, which appeared to him almost diabolical : though a Roman Catholic, he said he could not have believed that such words could be written. The words which fixed his attention were these : "Do you suppose," wrote his young sister to her confessor, "do you suppose that after being with you six or eight years (he could not remember the pre cise period) I have not learnt, when occasion requires, to be able to deceive my mother." (Hear.) The priest was, doubtless, employing the young lady to worm out the secrets of the family, and to discover, if possible, how the cause of Protestantism was progressing. (Hear, hear.) Let them beware of the confessional in England. (Cheers.) If it once prevailed in the Established Church, God defend us from the consequences. (Hear.) The Rev. Dr. ANDERSON moved the following resolu tion That regarding the late proceedings in Tuscany as indicative of the real character of Popery in its dominant condition, and as furnishing the fullest disproof of all those representations that its character has been amelio rated by which the British people have been deluded for many years past—this meeting renews its protest against all national encouragement of a system so adverse to the commands of God, and so injurious to the best interests of man. Especially •it adopts petitions to both Houses of Parliament, praying for the discontinuance of the en dowment of Maynooth College ; and for the enactment of some provision which shall secure the due inspection and proper regulation of all nunneries and convents in the United Kingdom." Mr. JOSIAH CORDER seconded the resolution, which was adopted by the meeting. The meeting terminated with a vote of thanks to the chairman.

One thing is quite clear, from the Madiai case, the Gard.ucci case, the Mazzinghi case, and many others whi c h h ave l a t e l y occurred—namelY, that the Chu rc h o f R ome i n Italy is in a state of great alarm. The odium of these persecutions injures her greatly, and she would not reckl essl y incur at odium, were it not that she fears for her very ex istence. During the various tr oubles of the last un few years in Italy, the opportity has been seized . of circulating in the various Italian States many thousand copies of the Holy Scriptures, besides _ _,—„,r .nvill relivions wnrks_ Th RCA importations have done their work, and it is be lieved that there are, in Tuscany itself, more than. 10,000 or 15,000 persons who are in private study ing God's Word. Rome knows this, and Rome shakes to her centre when thus assailed. She then flies to her never-failing refuge—persecution. By her having resort to this, we nifty know her fears. She eschews persecution where she is the weakest ' party, as in England and America. She does not employ persecution where the ,people are her . de voted slaves, as in Spain and Portugal. Like Sir Anthony Absolute, she is the best-tempered crea ture in the world, when she has everything her own way. But when her supremacy is assailed, as in Italy just now, by the circulation of the Holy Scriptures, there shd rages ; and if she may, she will destroy by force all such attempts to resusci tate the knowledge of the Gospel. As Lord. Carlisle remarked in his letter, which we gave on Monday, and as the meeting of yester day stated in its resolutions, these doings plainly refute the assurances by which we were deluded by t S h i r a tßob the r t Peel and oldPopery eper y h s wa a followersextiextinct, e i in 1829 and and tha l t B4 t h s e , Popery of our day was a civilised and altered thing, which might be admitted to our firesides without danger. The P As op 3r. Dominice c r h y bTis o hh f eoppeopfeCan and of Alva is the Popery the ye agedof lB rywtehirbur which in edth death the streets of Oxford is the same Popery' which now immures two harmless, inoffensive creatures in the dungeons of Tuscany, to the great peril of their lives, for the crime of reading the Scripture to t eir maid-servant. Nay, it has gone farthes Ulan t . Garducci was so far aware of their wat6hf ss and their bitterness that he never veritured to read the Bible to his wife until he had first , sent .'.his maid-servant out on some errand ! Itet 'this cautious man, the trusted and valued clerk in a bank, was seized in the dead of night, and now lies in a dungeon, because, on searching his house, a Bible waS found in it. Surely, if we are not labouring under a judicial blindness, these things ought to open our eyes. We actually support a college to teach.the doctrines which lead to these results. _ For 30/ws we have been assured that all this wal - inunateribt &for that, though the doctrines were there, nobody now believed them, and that, having fallen into disuse, they could do no harm. Who will argue thus•now? We see those very doctrines brought into use in a friendly city, crowded with English ; and when we intercede for the victims, we are treated with con tempt. Why are not the same things done in England also ? Simply because the Romanists want power. Give them that, and the fate- of Carducci and of. the Madiai would be the fate of myriads in England at the present moment. yesterday's meeting called for the speedy solu tion of the question, at least so far as it might be achieved, by the withdrawal of the British embassy from Florence. Such a step we knew would be willingly seconded by the other Protestant powers. We shall be curious to see how the present Cabinet, depending for its very existence on the good-will and support of the " Pope's brass band" in Parlia ment, will venture to deal with this request, made by a large and resolute body of Englishmen. FEMALE EMIGRATION FUND. Yesterday another band of female emigrants, forty one in number, embarked on board the ship Kent, off Gravesend, destined for Port Philip, under the auspices of the Female Emigration Fund. A deputation from the committee, consisting of the Count de Strzelecki, C.B. ; the Rev. Joseph Brown, rector of Christ Church, Blackfiiars ; the Rev. W. Quekett, incumbent of Christ Church, St. George's-in-the-East ; and Mr. W. T. Haly, accompanied the emigrants from the Fenchurch-street station to Blackwall, and thence to Gravesend on board the vessel. Mr. and Mrs. Charles ii;;ZtOn,lir.FOwell Buxton, the Misses Prince, the Rev. Mr. Mansfield, incumbent of St. Peter's, Saffron-hill ; Mr. Charles Cochrane, Mr. Moor, an d Capt. Stanley Carr were alto of the party. The Right Hon. Sidney Herbert; M.P., the chairman and founder of the Female Emigration Fund, was unavoidably prevented being present. The emigrants dispatched on this occasion have been principally occupied in domestic service in the metro ,• polls, and they also include three sisters, daughters of a surgeon in the country, and the daughter of a clergy man. They have of course all been strongly recom mended to the managing committee on ,the score of cha racter, and have, besides, spent a term of probation at the "some," in Hatten-garden, established in connec tion with the society, previous to their embarkation. They are all young women, between seventeen and thirty, and as we saw them assembled on board the ship they presented as a body a highly respectable and promisin appearance, and were characterised by great propriety of demeanour. On board the Kent, a handsome new ves sel, built by Wigram and Co., at Blackwall, they are furnished with every possible accommodation calculated to render the voyage agreeable, including a capacious sitting apartment and commodious sleeping berths, com pletely separated from every other part of the ship. They are placed under the care of an experienced ma tron, who has been to Australia in that capacity more than once, assisted by five sub-matrons, chosen from among the emigrants themselves. A schoolmaster also accompanies them to afford them suitable instruction during the voyage ; and they will have the advice of two surgeons in case of sickness. Con reaching the vessel at Gravesend the emigrants were conducted to the apartment assi g ned for their use ; e• and,. being all assembled; the Co un t de Strzelecki read a letter addressed to them by the Hon. Mrs. Sidney Herbert, in which that benevolent lady, in the most touching and affectionate terms, reminded them of the great importance of the step they were about to take in leaving their native country for a distant land, of the encouraging prospects it held out to them, and urging upon them the necessity of persevering in a course of honest industry, frugality, and virtuous conduct as the only means of ameliorating their condition, which was the great object of their emigration, and of reflecting credit alike on the mother-country and the society un der whose auspices they were enabled to proceed to their adopted home. This suitable advice was further en forced by some well-timed observations of the Count himself, Mr. Moor, and Capt. Stanley Carr (two gentle men on a visit here from the colony for which the emi grants are bound), the Rev. J. Brown, the Rev. W. Quekett, and the Rev. Mr. Mansfield. The committee and the rest of the party then took an affectionate leave of the emigrants, and shortly afterwards the vessel was on her voyage. This seems an opportune occasion for stating a few of the results of the Female Emigration Fund, and of the labours of the philanthropic individuals to whom its dis tribution has been intrusted. That fund, it will be re membered, was raised by uoluntary subscription in the winter of 1849, and amounted to 22,0001. That sum was afterwards further augmented by occasional contribu tions, and by interest on Exchequer bills, until it amounted to 23,1781. ss. 9241. 16s. have, in addition, been resaived from the friends of emigrants on account .the of their passage ; so that on the Ist of o J a an i u s a . r 7 y O l f u that present year the total receipts were 24,1 of emigrants • 2,2041 . 2s. 4d. in their outfits pas sage 2 1 , 735 1. in the expenses of sum 11,762/. 13s. 6d. have been disbursed . in the and shipping expenses ; lss.

Bd. as liabilities for part pas sage money for ships now on the voyage ; making the total expenditure 20,538/. 19s. ld., and leaving a work ing balance now in hand of 3,564/. odd. In 1850 the society forwarded 409 female emigrants to the various English colonies ; 228 in 1851, and 434 in 1552, in all 1,071. A return—the latest received by the committee —of the employment obtained by 49 young women sent by them to Port Philip in March, 1853, shows that 11 of them have been engaged in the colonies as domestic servants at wages of 251. a year ; two at at., one at 52/. 14 at 201., and four at 181., with rations in addition in every case. The lowest wage that any one of them receives is 14/. Most of these women were previously employed in this country as domestic servants, at ls. 6d. and 2s. a week ; and as needlewomen, at from 3s. to 7s. a we e k. M any of them, at the time they deter mined up on emigrating, were servants out of place. These facts speck for themselves. 'We are further as sured that the demand for female servants of all descrip tions in the colony, to which those have hitherto been sent, is largely on the increase, and that the emigrants dispatched are more than ever certain to find, upon their arrival, immediate employment and ample remune ration. CALLING OUT THE MILITIA.—We understand that it is the intention of the Government to call out the whole of the militia of England, for one lunar month's train ing, all over in April or May next. The force is to be out o ll f, over the country at the same time, with the object ts,which. checking the double, and even triple enlistments, t th o e f it is suspected have taken place.
