The Tractarians pretend that the Protes tants there ought not to have a bishop without the per mission of the heads of the Greek church. The arch bishops declare that the persons signing those addresses ,have no warrant for speaking in the name of the Church . of England and Ireland, and express their confidence that Bishop Gobat's conduct will, under all circum stances, be guided by sound judgment and discretion.

He said—lt is most satisfactory to find that this, the first call made on the nationality of Scotland, by an association which has for its object the preservation of that nationality, has met with so noble, so generous a response, not only from the people of Scotland, but in the place in which i is fit and proper that such a movement should originate. (Applause.) Ido not indeed rejoice at the aspect of this meeting, because it tells me that Scotland is in earnest in her efforts to uphold her rights. (Applause.) And when has Scotland failed when she has been in earnest ? (Loud applause.) I rejoice that the meeting has taken place, be cause it gives me an opportunity of laying before the pub lic the motives by which its originators are actuated, and to remove, I trust, many of the aspersions which have been cast upon it. In the first place, I must most dis tinctly and emphatically avow that nothing can be farther from my thoughts —as I believe, also, from the thoughts of all those who are associated with me in this movement— nothing can be farther from my thoughts and wishes than to weaken or interfere with the cordial and intimate amal gamation of feelings and of interests which has been established between the two nations. (Applause.) lam not rash-headed enough to wish that the Union, which has been established so happily for the peace, and tranquillity, and prosperity of loth, should be inter fered with. I am not foolish enough to imagine that, if such were my wish, any efforts of mine could sever those who, I trust, are indissolubly united. (Applause.) I can only say that, if I thought that the result of this association would lead to such a misfortune, I would not remain in it one other moment. I would not remain in an association which I should then consider as dangerous and as prejudicial to the best interests of Scotland. (Hear, and applause.) But when I say that I rejoice in the blessings of union —when I say that I rejoice that we have one Sovereign, one Parliament, one imperial interest —I am not the less desirous, ay, and determined, to stand up for the rights and privileges of Scotland—(great applause, lasting for some minutes)--and to claim that justice, and to'claim that equality, from the hands of her sister, which is her right. (Applause.) It is by carrying out the prin ciples by which that treaty was concluded—it is by dis pensing equal justice between the two nations—that you will make that union more firm and more popular. (Hear.) It is by fostering, and not repressing, the spirit of nation ality that yen can snake a nation great, and prosperous, and self-reliant. (Applause.) You may make a Scotsman discontented, but you will never make him an Englishman. (Cheers.) I know the penalties which we have to pay, and which we are ready to pay, for the blessings of union. I know that the Sovereign must, for the most part, hold her permanent Court in the metropolis of Great Britain ; and where the Court is, thither will follow the rich, the titled, and the powerful. I know that, for the sake of the tran quillity of the United Kingdom, we must bear, without re pining, the loss of our Parliament; but I do not know why centralisation should be carried beyond the limits which are necessary to carry out the meaning of the treaty. Because the crowded thoroughfares of London hardly suf fice for the traffic which is incessantly pouring through them, and the grass grows in the wide streets and squares of Edinburgh, why is that inequality to be increased ? Because London has absorbed whole counties, while Edin burgh is only growing at the rate of a country town, why is that disparity to be promoted ? Why are all the offices and boards which we require for the management of Scotch affairs to be removed to England, and placed in English hands? (Hear, hear.) We do not complain that a por tion of the imperial revenue, to which we so largely con tribute, is expended in the maintenance and improvement of the royal palaces in London, or in making Windsor a fit residence for the beloved Sovereign of this mighty em pire. (Applause.) We do not grudge England her palaces and parks—her national galleries,her museup?s,her arsenals, her harbours of refuge ; but we do point, with, I think, feelings of just indignation, to the reverse of the picture here—(applause)—to the neglect of our royal palaces, to the destruction of our royal narks, to the absence of all assist ance to our national schemes, and to the neglect of our national feelings. .(Applause.) We have no Windsor, ne Buckingham Palace, no St. James's, no Kensington. no Hampton Court—we have . only poor old Holyrood—(ap plause)—poor old Holyrood, with her falling galleries, her roofless chapel, and her wasted park. Think you, if Linlith gow had been within the reach of a short excursion from London, it would now be ruined and unoarod for ? (Ap plause.) Hampton Court, with her show-suites of aparb snouts, her pictures, her gardens, and her fountains, tells a different tale. And I believe that the whoWexpendi tura on the birthplace of Mary, and the last residence of gallant James before he went to the fatal field of Flodden, has not surpassed 35/. ; and, if I ant not greatly mistaken, 5/. was the amount of money laid out on it during the last year. We have no Hyde-park, and the Green-park, St. James's-park, Richmond, and Windsor—all are provided in rich abundance for our southern brethren ; , and new Victoria and Battersea are added with unsparing and most unniggard hand ; while the royal garden of Hplyrood is let to a market gardener. Hundreds of thouanahave be?n laid out in England in national galleries, in museums, and in arsenals, while I really cannot tax my memory with any thing being given to any public institution in Scotland, except, I believe, some 15,0001. to the building on the Mound, which must have been done in some moment when the Chancellor of the Exchequer for the time being was asleep, or Mr. Brotherton's motion for the time disre garded. (Laughter.) The winds blow as hard on the Scottish shores, and the eastern coast is as bleak as any that mariner has to contend with ; and the Scottish sailor's life is as dear to his family and to his country as that of any other. (Applause.) But we have no Dover, no Harwich, no Portsmouth,., no Jersey, no', . Holy. head ; there is not a harbour of refuge from Wick to Berwick. (Hisses.) Education is .at present, I believe I may say, on the. increase over the world ; but in Scotland —as far as any assistance from the Imperial Government goes—it has been for many years positively discouraged. (Hear, hear.) He next referred to the absence of encouragement to Scotch professorships, and proceeded :—Now, can anything be conceived more unequal than our representation, as com pared with that of England. (Applause.) England, with her population of 18,000,000, has her 500, or, at all events, upwards of 400 members ; while Scotland, with her popu lation of 3,000,000, has but 53 members. We have small boroughs in England sending two members to Parliament ; while populous counties in Scotland have only one. In England there aro 20 small boroughs which send 40 repre sentatives ; while Glasgow, with a constituency of 16,000, only sends two. The Universities of Oxford, Cambridge, and Dublin, send each two representatives ; while the Universities of Edinburgh, Glasgow, Aberdeen, and St. Andrews, remain unrepresented. Well, gentlemen, it is said—l have heard it said—" Yes, but you are a province —you are an integral part of the United Kingdom." But, we reply, " You do not treat us as if we were a proviuce ; treat us as you treat. Surrey and Middlesex ; give us the proportion of members which Devonshire and Shropshire have, and then see whether Scottish interests and Scottish claims will be disregarded." (Loud Applause.) It is to remedy this inequality, and to put an end to this injustice, that this association has been formed. (Applause.) It has sprung from long repressed, but now openly avowed, feelings of injustice. Scotland says that she will no longer be neglected, and claims that equality for which her fore fathers bargained. (Applause.) lie then complained of the inferior position assigned to the royal arms of Scotland,tn d, and contended that in emblems and devices in rl Sco they ought to take precedence of those in Ena and. Scotland, they l ong , h e sa id, as man exists with all his passions, imperfections, or his good qualities, so lonl!ationalinam; well as personal and family distinctions ill remain to the and 1 for one will not submit w ithou o t i lnli A n i n ,p r la use.) degradation of the ancient arms of S i. c d surprise at Scotchmen He then went on to express his o anomalous and irresponsible havingsolongsubmitted to the i l c n y ate, who he said, though government of the Lord Advocate, of high talent, and great no doubt a man almost invariably I /aid and over-worked—with professional ability, his own professional business to to attend to_;. was never h a in the Cabinet, and seldo m oven the envy COMICiI--- changing Oftener oven than the Ministers tinder whom h e serves —ready enough to totallyotakep sp ra ir i r s e ef o o n r anysible when measure s which may be popul ar, the measures a re of a contrary tendency.

(Laughter.) Ireland ,has her entire separate Governs/rent. Scotland alone is left to the tender., mercies of a lawyer, Wh o i s l oo ki ng f ar more to his professional prospects, and, perhaps .to the upper, seats of the bench, than to. making for, himself a great po litical character. (Loud applause.) Was there no one— although we have a Scotch Prime Minister—was there no ono to suggest that, when three noble lords were to be invested the other day as Knights of the Thistle, it rrO' %.1 might have been done a - ieW *weeks previously is ills old capital of Scotland.. (Loud appinnse.)

(Applause.) I have joined this asso ciation because I am opposed to the spirit of centralisation, which has been carried too far for the good of this country. (Applause.) I have joined this association because I be lieve in my heart Scotland has been treated with unfair ' ness and neglect. I believe that this movement will be successful because it is based on justice, and because it will be carried on with earnestness but with moderation (Loud applause.) I beg to read the resolution which I intend to lay before you, and which I trust Will be re ceived with acclamation. I lay it before you as the basis on which this association is founded, and which we mean to act. It is in these terms :—" That the treaty of union between Scotland and England recognises the supremacy, asserts the individuality, and provides for the preservation of the national laws and institutions of Scotland ; that any ' attempt to subvert or place those institutions under .ilg lish contr o l, un d er th e p re t ence o f a centralising economy, would deprive Scotland of the benefit of local action, would be injurious to her welfare, and au infraction of the true spirit in which that treaty was concluded." (The reading of the resolution was followed by the audience rising en masse and cheering vociferously, and waving hats and handkerchiefs.) The noble earl, after saying, "I. conclude that this resolution is passed unanimously.," resumed his seat amidst loud and protracted applause. The Lord PnOVOST of Edinburgh moved the next re. solution as fellows :—" That this meeting considers it ne cessary for the better administration of the public busi cess of this part of the United Kingdom, and for securing to Scotland the practical' benefits of a United Legis lature, that the office of Secretary of State for Scotiand be restored, with all the rights and privileges apper taining thereto; and this meeting invites the coun cils of cities and burghs of Scotland to petition he Majesty to this effect." His lordship showed tha the office of Scotch Secretary of State had continued from the period of the union down to about 1740, when it felli uto abeyance. He maintained the necessity of the restoration of the office from the inability of our Lords Advocate to manage the overwhelming amount of business, legislative and professional, now entailed upon them. With reference to the representation of Scotland, ho instituted the following comparison between Ireland and Scotland —Ireland has a population of six and a half millions, Scotland has three millions, and England eighteen millions. If, then, population be taken as the criterion of representation, Ireland will bo entitled to this in the pro portion of 6. to 7i—or, in other words, she would be enti tled to 153 members. But if you take the element of finance into account—that ix, how much she contributes to the National Exchequer, the question assumes a diffe rent aspect. Ireland contributes 4 ,000,000/. out of the 52,000,0001 a or one to thirteen; Scotland contributes up wards of 0,000,0001. of the 52,000,0001., or about one in eight and a half. If you take the finance aspect, then Ire land, in proportion to her contribution to the revenue, would be entitled to 51 members, although, as to her popu lation, she should have 153. Take the mean of the two sums, and Ireland will be found entitled to 102 members. .Now, Ireland has 105 at the present moment. Ireland has, therefore, got justice on that principle, and that was the principle on which Schedules A and B were passed in the Reform Bill of 1832. Now, let us have justice to Scot land. That is all I ask ; and, just by the same process as that which I have applied to Ireland, Scotland is entitled, in respect of population, in the proportion of three to 274, or 73 members ; she is entitled, in respect of taxation, in the proportion of ono to eight and a half, or 78 members. Add these together again, and take the mean, and Scot land would be entitled to 75 members. Ireland, then, on this principle, would be entitled to 102 members, and Scot land to 75. Whatever principle, however, Parliament in its wisdom should think fit to adopt respecting the fran chise in England, Scotland should be satisfied with that, but with nothing less. (Cheers.) The LORD PROVOST of Perth seconded the resolution, which was cordially adopted. Bailie GOURLAY, of Glasgow, proposed the next resolu tion, namely, " That the representatives returned by Scotland to the House of Commons are not in the relative proportion of her people, or the amount of her revenue, as compared with those of England ; and that this meeting is of opinion that, in order to give the voice of Scotland its just weight in Parliament, that number should be in creased to its fair proportion." Mr. BAILLIE COCHRA.NE, of Lamington, seconded the resolution, which was carried. Sir ARCHIBALD ALisoN said—So great is the strength of our case—so powerful and so appalling are the facts which we can adduce—that we have .nothing to fear from argument or from declamation ; we have to fear nothing but misrepresentation;and that, accordingly, is the,weeisen with which we have always been assailed. Fully admit ting the benefits of the union to Scotland, he proceeded to mention one or two facts to show how Scotland has. been treated in comparison with other parts of the empire. What has been done (he asked) by the Imperial Govern ment for the groat object of national defence in Scotland. (Hear, hear ?) We are not to be told that the peace of the world is never to be broken. It never was in greater danger than at the present moment, and, for aught we know, a war may oven now be breaking out in the East of Europe which may involve us next spring in determined hostilities with perhaps the greatest' military power in the world. Let mo tell you what preparations have been made for this war in England, Ireland, and Scotland. The people of England expect—and I hope with reason—that if a war wore to break out they could muster 140,000 armed men -4.0,003 regular troops, 80,000 militia, add the dockyard bat talions. In Ireland there are 22,000 regular troops, and 12,000 police, admirably equipped, equal to soldiers of the line, and paid by the Government. What is the state of matters in Scotland ? Here we have only two battalions of infantry, and ono regiment of cavalry, mustering among them some 1,800 combatants! We have no militia ! There is a militia force of 80,000 men in England, where the people take good care of themselves ; but there is neither paid police nor militia in Scotland, where the whole mili tary force consists of two battalions of infantry, and one regiment of cavalry. What are we to do in the case of a war breaking out ? And recollect that the Emperor of Russia has always in the summer as many ships of the line in the Baltic as could transport 30,000 men in a short space of time to any part of our coast. I need not tell you where the invading force would come to in the first in stance. Why, they would just come to the Firth of Forth. If they came there, they would find the harbour of Gran - ton prepared for them ; and, after threatening Edinburgh with conflagration 'and plunder, and levying a contribution of one or two millions, they might march to Glasgow, fol low the same course there, and then return to the Baltic before England got a man of war ready. lam not to be told that, this is not possible. What took place at Largs many hundred years ago ? The Sea-kings of the Baltic came there, and were only defeated by the Hays of Lun carty. lam glad to see that the nobleman who now so worthily represents that gallant and patriotic family be belongs to our association. (Cheers.) We perfectly admit that the centre of the country, where the arsenals, the har bours, and all the great points of the national defences are principal object of attack ; and I t a o m b s e u f r o e u i n v found e , be considered necessary may would b e n t e h t e grudge to / ) a u n t y t hsousuei placesof in o i n n e a y w proper liich state of defence. For my own part, I hope the time when the w coun i tr the opinion is not far distant than an ade tr a • sui n ' l at Woolwich as y sho w n i l l ( l l b co e nc v u o r te i d n the citadel o strong as mak f e Ant me we a les is . en i . Cheers and hisses.) admit the necessity of looking iu the by Parliament to But while we , I. „ fully chiefly, to the defence of the central securemaking as London, ye a n De ptf ord , r Chatham, and Portsmon possibly and th as of be, coo see no reason why Scotland should be left utterl p il a rs t t s in of t- th - O e' L a l lion, defenceless, without any force whatever, either maritime or m i l it ar y, to repel an invasion. lam con v i nced that if we were in danger, and if the Government assured us that they could not afford regular troops for service in this part of the kingdom, a militia of 30,000 strong could be raised l Scotland in one week ; and I do net think there is any man bold enough to say that the militia. of. Scotland, what ever may be said of the militia of other places, could not b 3 trusted, for fidelity to misfortune, to Queen and coun try, has never been 'wanting in the Scottish nation. (Cheers.) The learned baronet then proceeded to consider the question of harbours of refuge. He concluded by moving the following resolution :—" That while this meet ing does not wish to claim for Scotland Government as sistance for objects which are better served by local efforts, yet, nevertheless, it is of opinion that a manifest injustice is inflicted upon Scotland by its exclusion from the ad vantages of participating in the public expenditure, for imperial and important local purposes of a national char acter, to the same proportional extent as in England and Ireland, and that such exclusion is contrary to the intui tion and meaning of the treaty of union." Mr. MITCHELL, of Moorepark, seconded the resolution, • which was also carried. • Mr. HENRY INGLIS. W.S., proposed the. fourth resolu tion, which was as follows :—" This meeting is of opinion that the present state of the Palace of Holyroocl and its neighbourhood is discreditable to the capital and the na tion; and farther, that the royal property and buildings of Scotland should be administered by some Scottish board, so as to apply the revenues arising in Scotland to their re pair, maintenance, and embellishment; that no further sales of the' Crown property in Scotland should be made, and that the purchase-money received from the recent sales should be placed to the Scottish account." Dr. ALEXANDER WOOD seconded the resolution. Sir J. WALKER DRUMMOND moved the fifth reaolution, namely, "That the National Association for the Vindica tion of Scottish Rights, which devotes itself to the accom plishment of the objects embraced in the resolutions adopted by this meeting, is one deserving the cordial:sup. port of every true Scotsman." professor AYTOUN seconded the resolution, which was carried. After a vote of thanks to Lord Eglinton for presiding, and a cheer for Admiral Napier, the meeting separatied. 1# pm Pin 13 1 i i 119 110 k 84 9G 7 9i a 7 6i 2g la (.1 b
