METROPOLITAN LIFE ASSURANCE SOCIETY FOR MUTUAL ASSURANCE. - - This Society APPROPRIATES the WHOLE orthe PRO FITS to the reduction of the Premiums of its Members, and this is UNDIMINISHED by AGENCY or COMMISSION, the business of the Society being conducted without incurring that expense. The effect of the principle of Mutual Assurance, so CARRIED OUT, is shown by the abatement of FORTY per Cent. eclared for the ensuing year, upon the Premiums of Members of ye Years' standing, and which abatement has been computed on ata justifying the expectation of the continuance of an equal rate of abatement, at least, throughout the remaining *nu of life. This abatement of FORTY per cent., the amount being laid out in a new Assurance, is equivalent to a bonus of one-third of the amount of the existing Policy.

R OMAN *CATHOLIC CHAPEL, • JAMAICA. - • Kingston, Nov. 29, 1839. At a numerous MEETING of the MEMBERS of the RO MAN CATHOLIC CHURCH, held at the Holy Trinity Chapel, on Tuesday evening, N0v.:26, 1839, - His Honour the ATTORNEY-GENERAL in the Chair. His Honour the Attorney- General having in a most brilliant speech stated the object for which the meeting was called, J. W. Seymour, Esq., moved, seconded by Mr. John Doug las, that a Committee be appointed to prepare and bring in re solutions to be submitted to the meeting, which was unani mously carried. The Chairman appointed R. Roux, John Harvey, L. Des gonttes, F. Egan, J. W. Seymour, Richard Daly, John Bran day, John Escoffery, J. B. Sorapure, Charles Duquesnay, J. 3. Dnverger, Clarke, F. Labiche, and James Cahill, Esqrs., a Committee for the above purpose, who withdrew and on their return submitted the following resolutions, which were unanimously agreed to. Ist That the meeting held in High Holborn-street on 'Tuesday the 19th November instant, purporting to be an as sembly of the British and Native Roman Catholics of this City, called together with the consent of the Very Rev. Mr. Fernan dez, bears on its front the stamp of twofold misrepresentation ; as in the first place the Very Rev. Mr. Fernandez was never applied to on the subject ; and -secondly, it was not attended by more than four or five British Roman Catholics, so that its re. solutions cannot for a moment •be deemed expressive of the feelings of that body, as Mr. Shannon would wish to have it supposed. 2d. That whilst this meeting deplores the necessity of its being called together to defend our Rev. Vicar Apostolic from the unmerited imputations which have been cast upon him, it Must and doth hereby declare, that it is the duty of all true Roman Catholics to bow to the lawful authority of the Church in all its spiritual matters, and that those who do not do so are unworthy of belonging to our sacred religion. 3d. That this Meeting is fully cognizant that the imputations put forth in Mr. Shannon's speech, as nublished in SaturdaY's Gazette, against the Very Rev. B. Fernandez, are utterly false and groundless. 4th. That' a deputation be appointed to wait on our Vicar Apostolic with an address, and also to„acqulint him, so far from the respect, veneration, and esfeeM, in which he has always been held by his flock being lessened by the late foul attack on him, that this meeting regards him, if possible, with stronger feelings of affection than before, and that never on any previous occasion did he possess more fully their unlimited confidenco in his zeal for the promotion of peace, charity, and religion, amongst all classes of his congregation. sth. That even were the charges against the very Rev. Be nito Fernandez true, which they are not, the insinuations put forth in Mr. Shannon's speech, " that the Committee of St. Patrick and St. Martin's Church were playing the game of the above Very Rev. Gentleman " is utterly contrary to truth, as they have used, and will continue to use, every exertion to pro cure the presence of Pastors of the United Kingdom, always, I o'vever, refusing to accept of, or obey any, save those who are dely recognised by our Right Rev. Vicar Apostolic Benito Fer nandez. ' 6th. That the entering the names of three official characters, namely, the then Governor, Lieutenant-Governor, and Attor ney-General, for higher subscriptions than they had signed for, was the act of the Rey. Mr. Murphy and the late universally respected Major Dillon, 64th Regiment ; that the then Go vernor and the Attorney-General on seeing the list of sub scriptions (print ,- 11 by Mr. Shannon) remonstrated and re quested the Committee to insert against their names the exact sums they subscribed, which was not done by the Rev. Mr. Murphy and Major Dillon, the acting members of the Com mittee, they not thinking it a matter of sufficient importance to make a contradiction of the subscription list necessary—especi ally as it is usual in England to put down persons of rank for larger sums than they actually subscribe. 7th. That the conduct of Wel'wood Hyslop, Esq., is of surh a character, that the Roman Catholics of this city cannot con ceal from themselves how impro'er it is to admit him to act in the efairs of their body, and that he be requested to abstain from all interference with their future proceedings. Bth. That this meeting pronounces the third Resolution of Thomas Shannon to be destitute of " Truth," for these rea .oas—First, because the Holy Trinity Chapel in this City was erected in 1809, and onen-d for Divine Service in 1810 by the Rev. J. Rodrigues, a Portuguese Clergyman, who was one of the Fincipal founders, and Don Carlos Estero, a rich Spanish merchant of this city, who exercised his influence with his countr). - nen and with other merchants of this city of all reli gions, and induced them to contribute with that liberality which to this day is one of the most laudable traits in the cha racter of the Kingston gentry. Secondly, because it is not true erat the Catholic congregation has suffered for the want of religious instruction ; cn the contrary, the zeal of the Very Rev. Vicar and of the Rev. Messieurs Duquesnay (a native of this city) Dnpeyron (a Frenchman), and Cotham (an English man), in imparting religious instruction, is well known to the Catholic community. Resolved—That the above Resolutions and Address to be presented to the Very Rev. Vicar Apostolic, be published in the " Morning Journal," " Royal Gazette," " SL Jago Ga zette," " Gleaner," and such of the English Newspapers as his Honour the Chairman may direct. (Signed) D. O'REILLY, Chairman. His Honour, the Attorney-General having left the Chair, R. Roux, Esq. was called thereto, when it was unanimously resolved, that a vote of thanks be given to his Honour, the At torney-Generel, for his exemplary, dignified, and impartial conduct in the Chair. (Si g ned) R. ROUX, The de Mutation having waited on the Very Rev. Vicar Apos tolic, on ‘Jednesday the 27th instant, presented the following Address:— To the Very Reverend Benito Fernandez, Vicar Apostolic, &c., &c. Very Reverend Father—Deputed by a numerous and respec table meeting of true Roman Catholics, many of whom have, for along series of years, been under your immediate spiri►ual direction—we come to express the deep sorrow your congrega tion have felt, and still feel, at the most extraordinary speech delivered by 11r. Thomas Shannon, at the St. Patrick's Chapel, on the 19th day of this instr - it month. We shall not comment long on the false, garbled, and slan derous statements contained in the sneech alluded to, as part of them can be denied by incontrovertible facts, and the rest has excited the indignation, not only of your congregation, but also of all honest men of different persuasions. Indeed, the author and publisher of such libellous statements has attempted to apply an antidote to the wound he has inflicted on you, in pay ing a well-merited tribute of respect to your private virtues and character as a Christian Minister, and for your . yious and ex emplary conduct as the pastor of a Spanish congregation, as if your congregation was solely composed of Spaniards, whereas he knows that the contrary is the case. This shows the animus of the man. 6th. We have thought proper to make these few prefatory remarks, and we now beg, Very Rev. Father, to assure you that as long as you shall continue in your character of Vicar Apostolic, all true Roman Catholics shall consider and obey you, as the only spiritual head of the Roman Catholic Chapels which now are, or may hereafter be, erected and built within the limits of your diocese. Allow us, Very Rev. Father, to conclude with the most sincere and fervent wishes of us, and of your congregation ge nerally, that the Almighty may be pleased to grant you happy days, and to preserve your life as precious to your friends and congregation. We are, with great respect, Very Rev. Father, your most humble devoted Sons in J. C. (Signed) R. Roux, Francis Egan, John Harvey, J. W. Seymour, Richard Daly, John Escoffery, J. B. Sorapure, Chas. Duquesnay, J. B. Duverger, F. Labiche, Wm. Roux, C. R. Nelson, M. Mettos, Peter Constantine, P. L. Duquesnay, John White, Emanuel Leon, John Auvry, Alexander Clermont, and J. Douglas. The Very Reverend Vicar Apostolic, on receiving the fore going Address, was pleased to return the following answer : " You, my dear friends, must be well aware of the pleasure with which your kind Address literally overpowers me. " As a man, I feel grateful to you for your expressions of at tachment, but, as a minister of Christ and Vicar Apostolic, I am incomparably more delighted with your respect for our holy religion, which has been insulted in my person. Though un worthy of the situation to which the holy See has thought proper to raise me, yet I cannot discover in the motives by which I have been hitherto actuated anything but sincere de sires of advancing mutual peace amongst the Catholics, the salvation of souls, and the glory of God. " Rest assured, that so long as I shall hold the onerous office of Vicar Apostolie, I shall continue to promote, to the best of my power, the happiness and welfare of those committed to my charge. To this, my time and lite are devoted ; in this con sists my own happiness. .‘ Gentlemen, I again thank you for your address." N B.—The signatures of 1,400 Roman Catholics were ob tained during the day, and attached to the add-ess. COCKLE'S MOUS PATIONIZ FAMILY ANTIBI PILLS.

TO CORRESPONDENTS.--" The Bible.—We have been so earnestly exhorted to persevere in opening our Paper to the dis cussion of the'merits of the New Translation, as a question of the utmo t importance to the interests of mankind, that we feel it to be our duty to comply. Our Correspondents, therefore, shall be attended to in turn, as we have rea s o n to believe that the Heads of the Church have already directed their attention to the controversy."-4-The Sun, London, Saturday, Dec. 5, 1818. " Surely the elevated patronage which this New Translation has deservedly obtained, should operate as a general example and incitement. Shall the Bible, with its many acknowledged errors, descend to posterity polluted with all those errors; or shall it be transmitted to the latest generations of mankind, with as much of its original purity as it is possible for human sagacity, knowledge, and diligence to elucidate and confirm."---.

Hebrew, Part, 7th, 1834, New Translation.—" If I were shapen in iniquity, or in sin, my mother had conceived me." Note.—Behold, I was shapen in iniquity, and in sin did my mother conceive me. This verse, as it stands in the common version, is not consistent with the Scripture. The Divine com munication stands recorded in Gen. i. 28. and God said unto them, be fruitful, and multiply, and replenish the earth. Now it must strike every reader with conviction, that as God created Man to multiply and replenish the earth, he did not ordain man to be shapen in iniquity, nor to be conceived in sin. The Divine order for the multiplication of the human race is as holy now as at the beginning : it is pronounced to be superlatively good, Gen. i. 31., and this Divine order is sanctioned through out the Scripture, in all its purity, as at the beginning; con firmed by the Messiah, who said, Suffer little children, end forbid them not, to come unto me, far of such is the kingdom of heaven, Matt. xviii. 14. ; it therefore follows, that if .man were shapen in iniquity, and conceived in sin, the Divine insti tution of marriage could not have been approved of by him. Mr. O'Connell is a powerful speaker, a skilful politician, an able advocate for civil and religious liberty, but he should not attempt theology.—The Sun, No. 14,672. Swift seems to have entertained some gloomy forebodings of the melancholy fate that awaited him. On seeing a tree, the top of which was withered, he shook his head, and ex claimed, I shall be like that tree, I shalt die at top." Mr. O'Connell, though having received the friendly admo nition of this paper, in ceir matter:of " dying at top," mu s t still Wear his feathers "i n his ca p of vanit y .' " In London," observes Batista Angeloni, in Letters on the English Nation, 1750—"'religion seems to be periodical, like an ng,ue, which returns only once in seven days, and then at tacks the inhabitants with the cold fit only, which physicians reckon the most fatal; the burning never succeeds in this country." " Even on their days of worship in their. Churches, there is ten thousand times more inattention to their duty, than to the price of stocks in Change-alley all the rest of the week ; and the fervour of their devo tion, .to obtain a seat in Paradise is infinitely short to that of procuring one in Parliament, purchasing a good bar gain on the . Exchange, or trying to obtain a good place at Court ; they are as cool and inanimated in their acts of devo tion, as they are warm and active in those of getting riches, and their temples and exchanges are accordingly constructed within for these different dispositions, every family having in their churches a snug pew, a kind of closet, where they can sit and sleep, or employ themselves in anything but their duty to the Highest ; whereas in their places of commercial rendez vous there are no seats, they would be useless there, the zeal of gain keeping them standing to their duty." With this accurate delineation of the " Corporation of the City . of London," where " the fervour of their devotion for a seat in Paradise is infinitely short to that of procuring one in Parliament ;" and this being the municipal body which gives tone to the institutions of the country, what promoter, we may expect on behalf of a matter " of the utmost importance to the interest of mankind," and " a life beyond life.' It is a melancholy reflection that the " two Estates" distin guished amongst us as " collective wisdom" throughout the realm should have had no deeper feeling towards a linguist of a country than the frequenters of " 'Change-alley." It is now more than 30 years since the eminent linguist Bel lamy divulged his biblical emendations, through a periodical of the highest literary character in the country, the " Classical Journal ;" it is 22 years since we became adherents to his pro mulgations, and with an intent watchfulness, The Sun, the Examiner, and the Chester Chronicle, are the only Papers amongst the range, who have promoted the matter held to be " of the utmost importance to the interest of mankind," and " a life beyond life." This enables us to repel the imputation to the " Continental Despots," we rather say Sovereigns of Europe, or ":the cruel and faithless bigot," and it may go to assuage the acerbity of vi tuperations against them, when one whose purport was and is " of the utmost importance to the interest of mankind," and "a life beyond life," has received such an act of unexampled injus tice from the press of England. It is pleasing to us to observe a consnieuous personage in our triple state, who was equally unmindful in his day, and of the posthumous fame of a Prince. Sir Robert Peel has his proper estimation with a portion of the Press. " The Tories quarrel with the Hon. Baronet because of the feeble, shifting, cowardly policy which he has pursued during several Sessions of Parlia ment. We now find this once trumpeted statesman, everywhere inveighed against by those of his own faction, as a sluggish and irresolute, if not a feeble-minded, statesman."— Sunday Times. When malignancy, the characteristic of olden time—for Shakespeare wrote " Mens' evil manners live in brass ; their virtues we write in water"—is so rife amongst us, we consider it our bounden duty to break a lance with the assailants of the memory of the Prince and Patron of the Work, " of the ut most importance to the interest of mankind," and a ' life be yond life'.'—who Distort the truth—accumulate the lie, And pile the pyramid of calumny !" —English Bards and Scotch Reviewers.—Byron.

Table showing the ex-duty price of West India Sugar in Mincing-lane, and comparing the same against that of foreign sugars:— London, Jan. 24, 1840. The Gazette of this evening will quote the average price of British Plantation Muscovado Per Cwt. Sugar, exclusive of duty, at 37s. 113-d. The actual quantity of Sugar sold on account of the importers, in the week ending the 21st instant, according to the returns made upon oath by the West India sugar brokers, in conformity with the Act of Parliament, and on which quantity the above price is computed, consisted of 2,418 hbds. 135 trs. and 217 barrels, estimated to contain together, 36,240 cwt. Manilla Sugar, raised by free labour, may be quoted this week about 16s. per cwt., quality for quality, cheaper than West India Sugar. Refined Sugar, manufactured from foreign Muscovadoes, by the sugar houses in London, which work for exportation only, deducting ship ping charges, has been at about 325. per cwt., being 6s. per cwt. cheaper than the dirty raw sugar imported irom the West Indies, and the trite price the poor man is compelled to pay for duty-free treacle. We renew our remarks upon the glaring abuses ac cruing from the wicked monopoly conferred upon West India Sugar by the Act of Parliament, which imposes a duty of 635. per cwt . upon all foreign Muscovado sugars, while the West India is admitted to home use at 245. per cwt., protecting, consequently, the latter description by a prohibitory difference of duty of 395. per cwt. The nation (see The Sun of the 17th inst.) consumed in 1839, 3,521,706 cwt. of Sugar, for which the immense sum of nearly twelve millions sterling 'was paid. This amount would have purchased in Foreign free labour Sugar, one third more than the quantity actually bought, and would, without any additional tax upon the public, have fortified the Treasury with 1,531,540/ , besides the 4,226,0481. already collected as Sugar duties ; so that, in stead of deploring a heavy diminution in the annual returns of the nation, the CF.ancellor of the Exchequer would have been in condition to congratulate the House of Com mons upon the favourable aspect which the revenue of 1839 presented. A great deal has been said concerning the defalcation in the West India crops of Sugar last year, and when we compare the importation of all kinds of sugar admis sible to home consumption in 1839 against 1838, we confess the weight deficient is alarmingly large; but it ought to be borne in recollection that the Sugar harvest of 18,38 was unusually productive, while, on the other hand, the disagreement in 1839 between the planters and negroes in Jamaica, on the score of wages, (see The Sun of the 276 of March lnst,) tended to reduce very considerably, the' quantities exported from the Colonies in general, and from Jamaica in particular. The fair mode, therefore, of drawing a comparison would be to set the importations of Sugar in 1839 against those of 1837. it appears difficult to reconcile with common sense how it is, tuat the Manilla Sugar-planters, the distance they are from England increasing the costs of freight, &c., should be flourishing in their circumstances and extending their plantations throughout the Phillippine Islands, while our own West Indian planters are, according to their own account, overwhelmed with distress. A few figures will suffice to display what the price of Sugar is to each party prior to its shipment for Europe. The ave. rag - e ex-duty pi ice of Manilla Sugar is 21s. per cut., deduct from that 9s. per cwt. for freight, commission, and management of sales, &c., leaves only 12s. per cwt. to the Manilla planter, for the costs of cultivation, manufac turing, and packing. The Gazette average es-duty price of West India Sugar is 385., deducting 93. per cwt. for freight, commission, and management of sales, &c„ leaves the West India Planter 295. per cwt., being 140 per cent. more than his Manilla" competitor obtains ; in other words, the Manilla planter will deliver to a buyer, at any port of the United Kingdom, two hundred weight and a half of good Sugar for the same money which the West Indian gets for his one hundred weight, and yet, forsooth, the West Indian complains of distress ! It is stated in the Cambridge Advertiser that at the Isle of Ely Sessions, held at Wishech, on the Ist inst., there were 22 prisoners for trial, of whom only 13 can read, and only five are able to write, although much the larger portion of these were under 25 years of age—and this in a University County ! Jacob Thornton (aged 20. and unable to read and write) and John Whaley, aged 56 (unable to write), were sen tenced to ten years' transportation for sheep-stealing at Elm. SIR E. L. BULwER'S WORKS.—" Sir Lytton Bulwer has in preparation a new edition of his works in a col lected series. The first volume, which is to appear on the first of February, is to contain his popular work Rienzi, or the Last of the Roman Tribunes,' beautifully illustrated from draw ings by M`Clise and Creswick. Each volume is to be similarly illustrated, and a volume published on the first of every month, price six shillings. We are glad to have it in our power to make this announcement, which will doubtless be welcome to the numerous admirers of the distinguished author. Besides the very great demand for each of his works on publication, and the multipled editions abroad, there yet remains a large class who will look forward to the possession of this new and compressed edition with the most agreeable anticipations. Each volume will nresent some new feature of interest, besides the graphic embehishinents, which will be of the highest order."-- Metropolitan.

HIGHWAY ROBBERY.—On Wednesday in formation was received at the various Police Courts andstation honses that, about eight o'clock on Tuesday evening, as a la bouring man, named Samuel Deacon, in the employ of Dr. Morgan, of Colton, near Rugeley, was on his return from Ruge lev, he was attacked by two men, who beat him most violently about the head with instruments called life-preservers, until life appeared quite extinct, when they decamped and succeeded in effecting their escape, carrying off with them threesovereigus and a silver watch, of which they robbed him. The unfortu nate man was subsequently found in a state of insensibility, and conveyed to his master's house, where he remains in a very pre carious state. THE UNITED BOROUGH OF M PENRIIYN AND 1% r.

I now come before }du as a Member of that Government. —( Renewed cheers.) There is one subject on which I wish to detain yew a short time, and I do so because, though in some degree personal to myself, yet it is not purely personal, but has a bearing on a great and important qneation On which yonreopinions may be divided, but respecting which you have a right to know in what manner your representative eon . ucted him self. I mean the question of the ballot. There has ap peared lately in some Newspaper in this town a letter of considerable length. written with the object of showinV that I, in a speech delivered :in the House of Commons, had been the advocate of falsehood, that I had-attempted to palliate the moral guilt of untruth. What I said was this—l affirmed that the argument against- the ballot is, that it affords facilities to falsehood, and that therefore it must impair the national morality. My answer to this was twofold.- I said, first, that the argument was unsound; and, secondly, that it was an argument which the persons who use it do not use in, good faith. On the first of these, I argued in the House) of Commons, and I will recapitulate the argument to Tau, that the argument was unsoued. I admit -that untrreth is immoral ; but I hold that the corrupt abuse of a public trust for gaining a private advantage, tvoidinge private injury, is also immoral. The Ballot, it is said, gives facili ties to untruth ; but it must also be admitted that the want of the Ballot affords a strong temptation to the corrupt abuse of a public trust. If a man who e under this protec wtion, would,-from the weakness of principle, utter an un truth, the same men, from the weakness of principle, would corruptly betray a public trust. Therefore, Gen tlemen, it appears to nie that morality would not suffer by the introduction of the Ballot. That is one part of• my argument. The other is, that the very persons who use the argument which I refer to, do not use it in good faith. Are they, I ask, consistent with themselves? Are they, who profess their exceeding horror of untruth, sin cere ? To • this I answer, that when untruth, no less excusable, is uttered by a person in their own rank of life, by the rich, the powerful, the educated, no such horror is shown : it is not considered discreditable, for instance, to a man distinguished in -letters to deny the works he has written.—( Cheers. )• I assert it as a I fact, that it excludes no man from society ; that it is not 1 ' considered by the very class who use this argument, that when falsehood is uttered by one of themselves his moral. character is totally vitiated. Is this not a lax morality ? Is not this palliating falsehood, when we see individuals thus straining at a gnat and swallowing a camel? As there are degrees in theft, homicide, and treason, so also are there degrees in untruth. Let us take the best known case in history. After the battle of Worcester, Charles 11. owed his life to his being represented to the followers of Cromwell as poor Will Coventry. He had hid himself in a roam, and when'shis enemies were searching for him they asked him, " Who's there ?" " Nobody but poor Will Coventry, lying sick of the ague," was the answer. Now this was a falsehood—this was en untruth—but will illy human being tell me that this was an untruth of the same malignity as the falsehoods uttered by Titus Oates, and which brought many excellent wen to the scaffold one after /another ?—( Cheers.) This is my lax morality— this is the extent to which I have palliated falsehood. People cry, " Why don't you give us more legislafion— why don't you abolish the Corn-laws—why don't yon establish the Ballot—what is the use of a Ministry if they do not give us these ?" I might as well turn round upon my friend the Lord Provost or Sir James Spinal, and say, " Monsters, why don't you repeal the Corn-laws ?" for there is not a single person in this room who cannot as readily repeal the Core-laws, or establish the Ballot, as the present Administration. What i ask for the Ministry is—and I think it is moderate anti reasonable—that you should judge them by the way in which they have done that which the Constitution has given them the power to do. Let them be judged by the way in which they act where they are freely entitled to choose, because for ti,at alone they are answerable. If they have left life and property unprotected—if they have forborne to employ all the force at their disposal for the prt's tection of the industrious, the loyal, peaceable, and well-disposed, against outrage—if they have eon. nived at the conduct of those who have been the cause of such violence or encouraged these deluded men—for these acts they alone are answerable.—(Cheers.) If they have suffered themselves to be deterred by clamour, by calumny, or misrepresentation, from extending to the public the full relief with regard to the rates of postage which Parlia ment enabled them to extend, then they alone are answer_ able.—(Great applause.) If the military opersatiovis which were conducted under their directions in India, have sullied the ancient honour of the British arms, then they alone are answerable. If they have misgoverned Ireland, brought it to the verge of rebellion, and rendered new troops ecessary, then they alone are answerable. But for the difficulty of carrying:legisletive measures through a nicely balanced House of Commons, and the impossibility of car rying such measures through a hostile House of Lords, they are not answerable.—(Cheers.) With regard to those legislative measures about which you are most inte rested, I formerly expressed my opinion to you. I have no change of opinion to avow. : Loud cheers. At the same time, Gentlemen, I cannot but feel that, since I last addressed you from this place, there is some change in the position of those public questions. I do not mean that those great questions• which I then discussed have lost either their interest or importance. Par from it. One amongst them, the Corn-laws, appears to me more interesting and more important than ever. I (Immense applause.) But, Gentlemen, a new quesilim has since that time risen into most serious magnitude—into such magnitude that, for the moment, it appears to me of more importance than any other which is at issue between the Ministry and the Tory party. It is the question whe ther the great principle of religious liberty shall be main tained in its full integrity—(Tremendous applaus.e)— whether any class of our fellow-subjects—guilty only of worshipping God according to their consciences—shall be excluded from participation in the honours and advantages of the State, to which they contribute of their substance, and which they defend to the jeopardy of their lives.-- ( Loud cheers.) The spirit of factious animosity, despair ing of success through other means, has at length invoked a spirit, darker, fouler, and fiercer than itself—a spirie e rnore easily raised than laid—the spirit of religious fanatieiim.— ( Applause.) Even now, in the name of Protestantism, you are called upon by reprobate and apostate journalists, and by mountebank preachers—(Loud cheers)—yes, in the name of the Protestant religion, such men call upon you to trample upon one-third part of the population of the British islands.—( Renewed cheering.) In the name of the Protestant religion do I too call -upon you, not as a poli tician alone, but much more as a Protestant, to stand up manfully against those who encumber the religion of truth and charity with helps, which charity repudiates, and which truth does not need.—(Great applause.) After ten generations of Protestant Government, has Protestantism advanced? Or, rather, is it not stationary, if it has not retrograded ? Has the Catholic religion lost its hold on the affections of the people, or is it not stronger than on any part of the Continent ?—( Hear, hear.) These are the fruits of the policy under which the Government, the education, and the whole social system of Ireland has been fashioned, with rte other view but that of forwarding Protestant ascendancy. If 1 were a Catholic, I should be at no loss for an explanation of all this. If I were a Ca tholic I should say that herein • I saw a signal fulfil. ment of the prophecy which I have seen written on the door of St. Peter's—" I have established my kingdom on a rock, and the gates of hell shall not prevail against it." How is it that our religion, which a few centuries ago triumphed over interest and might, and every kind of op position, should now droop and languish when we find her receiving the largest portion of secular aid.—(Great cheering.) There are, indeed, gentlemen, a sort of pet). festors of moral pharmacy, whose only remedy is to repeat the dose which aggravated the disease.—( Laughter.) Disabilities have been tried, and insults, and confiscation, and the sword, and the fire, and the axe, and the gibbet— all have been tried in vain, and what shall we try now ? Can it be that by constantly presenting Protestantism and misgovernment side by side to the Irish people, we have taught them to abhor that which they would otherwise have looked upon with reverence and love ?--(Cheers.) 1 be lieve that it is even so ; and I believe farther, that if it be your wish that even at this late period Ireland should be added to the goodly fellowship of the reformed nations, Toe! first duty is to dissolve the connection which the mis , rule of centuries has established in the midst of Ireland between Protestantism and oppression. —(Immense ewer , lug.) Therefore, I say, maintain the Emancipation Bill, , as you would maintain the Bill of Rights, as you would maintain the Reform Bill—(lmmense applause)—anclexe : cute it according to its integrity and spirit. Treat the Catholics in all things temporal as your brethren. Spare not to defend that which you believe to be truth ; hut remember that no mar. was ever insulted into orthodoxy.—(Renewed and prolonged applause.) ' Gentlemen, 1 well know that I have said some things r • v. hie will expose me to obloquy; but I also know that there is an obloquy which is the truest glory. Let those who arc constantly deaf to the just demands of the nation pay court to its lowest prejudices. lat least will contend against the errors of the people, with the same spirit with which I have contended for their rights.--( Applause.) As to the final result, I entertain no doubt. Passions will subs do; delusions will pass away; truth alone is humo r tal. Mr. Macaulay concluded amidst loud and continued cheers. Sir J. G. DALYELL then se, ard, after a few observe tions. prorosed that Mr. Macaulay was a fit and proper person to represent the city of Edinburgh ; which was se conded by W. Oliphant, jun., Master of the Merchant Conipany, and unanimouely agreed to.

On which that Prince pitched on them for this purpose, and by his Royal Decree appointed them to make a new translation.' —P. 372.

Thomas Earl of Melton, and Minister of Margate, in Kent, 1739. " We observe in a pamphlet, ' Anti-Deist,' published by Mr. Bellamy, that Exodus, c. iii, v. 22, is a gross mistransla tion. He notices a number of other errors in the translation of the Bible now in use, equally hostile to the true meaning of the writers. It is not a little curious, that many of these mis translated passages, which give meanings in direct opposition to the real ones, have been as stoutly defended by eminent theo logians as any in the whole rook, and long commentaries have been written upon them, expressly to show their beauty and propriety."—The Examiner, Dec. 24, 1821. " University Education." " The great resorts and seats of learning often outlive in this way the intentions of founders, as the world outgrows them. Our Universities are, in a great measure, become cisterns to hold, not conduits, to disperse, knowledge. The age has the start of them, that is, other sources of knowledge have been opened since their formation, to , which the world have had access,and have drank plentifully at these living fountains, from which they are debarred by the tenor of their Charter, and as a matter of dignity and privilege. All that has been invented or thought in the last two hundred years they take no cognizance of, or as little as possible, they are above it, they stand upon the ancient land-marks, and will notbuclge, whatever was not known when they were'endowed, they are still in profound and lofty ignorance of.
