THE REVOLUTION IN PORTUGAL. FLIGHT OF COUNT DE THOMAR. The steam-ship Montrose, arrived -at Southampton on Sunday, with the usual Peninsular mails. Her dates are Gibraltar, April 25th, Cadiz 26th, Lisbon 29th, Oporto 30th, and Vigo 30th. By this packet we have received important despatches. The news of the rising at Oporto, in favour of the insurrection of Marshal Saldanha, received by telegraph, via Madrid and Paris, is fully confirmed. The insurrec tion of the Oporto garrison was caused by the arrest of several officers by the Count de Casel, the governor of Oporto, who remained faithful to the Queen's cause, and who possessed proofs of a projected movement in Oporto. The Count, after making several ineffectual attempts to quell the revolt, abruptly quitted, Oporto on the 25th ult., accompanied by only one aide-de-camp. Colonel Cardozo, of the 2ad Infantry, in endeavouring to bring his men to obedience, was shot by the soldiers. The Duke of Saldanha entered Oporto on the 27th, and has established his head quarters there. The whole city turned out to welcome him, and his reception was most On the 29th he reviewed the troops in enthusiastic garrisor The chiefs of the Septembrista party had hitherto taken o active part in the revolt. The movement in Oporto being communicated on the 26th, by telegraph, to Lisbon, Count de Thomar's minis try immediately tendered its resignation to the Queen, and, this being accepted, the Count embarked on board the Montrose. and was landed at Vizo, where he remains watching the turn of events.

MORE LYNCHING IN CALTFORNIA. , —WC learn from the Sacramento Transcript that Iwo men were hung on the Cosurnnes, on Friday night last, for stealing horses. The circumstances are as follow :—On Friday night. about ten o'clock, a teamster came up to the rancho of Messrs. Gage and Almond, and informed them that " some men were below attempting to cross the river with stock, and were having a h-ll of a time." Messrs. Gage and Almond, in company with two or three others, saw at once that the horses had been stolen from their own rancho, and be longed to themselves, and at once arrested them. The then taken back to the rancho of to Rhoades', where strict. in nination was made of ti.e d the brands were identical firm, and each and every animal corral, and the evidence was perfectly satisfactory that the horses had just been stolen. They were perfectly dry and smooth, and exhibited conclusive evidence that they had not been driven any distanc( The prisoners were trial by jury, but the rroposition was hooted down by the incensed crowd ! A motion was then made that they be hung at once, which was carried by acclamation ! They were called on to make a confession, being told that they had hut half an hour to prepare for the solemn change that awaited them. They gave their names as James Baxter, of Maine, and Charles Simmons, of Massachu setts ; the names. however, may have been assumed. The prisoners were then told that their time bad nearly elapsed. They seemed very much excited, and begged " for God's sake, let us live a little longer." Five mi nutes more were given them, during which time one of the prisoners called on the other, saying, in a low tone of voice. " Let us tell them all about it ;" to which the other replied. " No, no ; hush." When the half hour had elapsed, they were told their time had come. Lariats were brought, nooses made, and the guilty wretches hung up. This took place at twelve o'clock last night (Friday) and the bodies were still suspended this morning, when our informant left, although persons were engaged digging two graves. Baxter and Simmons had some ten or fifteen horses in their possession when they were taken, all of which belonged to Gage end Almond, beyond the shadow of a doubt. One of the reasons which induced the crowd to be so precipitous in their action was the late escape of Oreille Hamilton, who had been tried on the day before for a similar offence, and who, while the jury were out, effected his escape by ebaaging his bate 30 pa The A THE PAPAL AGGRESSION, IMPORTANT MEETING OF PROTESTANTS A highly influential, and, at this crisis, important pub lic meeting of the Protestants of this town was convened by the Liverpool Protestant Defence Executive Com mittee last week, and was held in the Amphitheatre. The meeting was called together " for the purpose of supporting the Protestant members of the House of Commons in adopting such measures as shall eventually secure civil and religious liberty to all classes of her Majesty's subjects, and which will preserve inviolate our Protestant institutions." The meeting took place on Tuesday. Long before the hour at which the proceedings were announced to commence, the doors of the Amphitheatre were besieged by persons anxious to gain admission, and when noon arrived the spacious building was in some parts excessively thronged, and became inconveniently crcwded at a later stage of the proceedings. As soon, as the Chairman, T. B. Horsfall, Esq., the Rev. Dr. M'Neile, and others who took an active part in the business of the day, presented themselves on the platform, they were loudly and warmly cheered. There were noticed on the platform, besides those gentlemen, Thomas Littledale, Esq., James Tvrer, Esq., Christopher Bushell, Esq., Adam Hodgson, Esq., Dr. Trench. E. Brodribb, Esq., C. Cotesworth, Esq., F. Shand, Esq., Valentine Smith, Esq., Rev. Dr. Hume, Revs. Messrs. Hampton, Anderson, Rawson, Carpenter, M'Conkey, Gardner, Green, Lawrence. Warr, White, Butler, Powell, Matthias, F. Barker, Longueville, Hoylake, A Knox, W. Tatlock, J. Jackson, F. Ould. Roberts, Walker, Murphy, Parker. Fry, W. Milner, W. H. Wright : Jas. Parker, Esq., W. Maples, Esq., Dr. Crighton, H. J. Webster, Esq., W. Jones, Esq., M'Cormick, Esq., J. A. Tobin, DI . Lawrence Peel, E.g., R. C. Crosbie, Esq., Thomas Grundy. Esq., Charles Inman, Esq., Rev. W. H. Duck, James Holme, Esq., Robert Hughes, Esq., Peter L^ather, Esq., E. Jones, Esq., T. J. Glazebrook, Esq. ' Higgins, Esq., E. M. Pilcher, Esq., Duncan Gibb, Esq., with a large number of the clergy and laity of the town and district The CR AIRMAN, in commencing the proceedings, said they were met under very peculiar circumstances, and he deeply regretted the necessity of their meeting at. all. He ventured to express a hope that, in any of the observa tions made, it would be kept in view that it was not with Roman Catholics, but with the aggression of a foreign power, that they had to deal. (Hear and cheers.) When they last met, they did indulge the hope that her Mates ty's Government would introduce a measure, for the re sistance of this aggression, which would be effectual for the purpose, for maintaining the rights and liberties of every British subject. But they had been disappointed ; and they met then to express their determination to sup port those legislators, and those legislators only—(hear . hear; and cheers)—who were determined to make efficient the present inefficient bill. By even some of its most strenuous supporters, the bill was admitted to be a mere bill of protest, and he (the Chairman) had yet to learn that a protest only would satisfy the Protestants of this - country, when there was a clear majority of 343 in favour of the measure. They had a right to expect something more. (Applause.). They might, in this case, as well protest against the assault of 'the midnight burglar ; depend upon it, the more passive they were—protest as long as they liked—the aggressors would never be satisfied until they had got everything worth their taking. (Loud cheers.) He (the chairman) had been grievously disap pointed in the course adopted by Lord John Russell; though upon what ground the Premier had abandoned those principles which bad met with the approval of the people of the country he had not been able to discover ; for no arguments had yet been uttered, either at public meetings, or in the House, which should have induced - the Minister to shrink from his original intention. There had been a very common and childish apprehension of a civil war, but he apprehended there was a much greater chance of a civil war when the agitation went in favour of repeal. (A voice : " No.") Why was not the repeal granted if they were to concede everything for which the people were agitating ? (Hear. hear.) But this was not all. He thought the meeting would agree with him that the reason for. the retrogression was not to be found in the apprehension of a civil war, but in that moral cowardice which bad not the courage to face the opposition. (Loud cheers.) It would take up too much time to quote the various fallacies which had been uttered upon this ques tion during the debates in the House, hut he might refer to oneor two. First, inconsistent as Sir - James Graham was, he (the chairman) was not prepared for his making what appeared a dishonest use of the names of those gentlemen who were gone, but who still lived in the affections of the people of Liverpool. DOn't let him cite the name of Canning as one who would- have supported this aggression, and opposed the resistance to it.—(no,- no ;)—when they well knew that to his eloquence, more than that of any other man, was owing the carrying of the Emancipation Act, though he lived not to see its ac: complishment. Why, what did Mr. Canning say in the House of Comm Ons upon this very question ? Why, on Lord Morpeth's motion he said, " The desire to prevail is common to all classes, of whatever faith, and it is- per fectly true that the Catholic religion is predominant at this day in most kingdoms of the world. Bilt, although that be the fact, I deny that in any states not Catholic, that under Protestant establishments, the Catholics have at tempted to raise their own hierarchy. For the truth of this assertion I confidently appeal to the history of modern Europe r but, if the attempt were made, how is it to be met ?—by reason ; and, if that he not sufficient, by • force." (Cheers.) And yet this was the man whom Sir James Graham dishonoured by quoting in support of his own views. (Hear.) Now, he would follow with another statesman, Lord Aberdeen, who bed said•that the feeling of the people of England was " irrational !" He (the Chairman) had a great respect for Lord Aberdeen, and when he read this observation he recollected instantly the story of a poor gentleman, who, becoming irrational in the real sense of the term, (deprived of his reason, - )' was placed' in an asylum •, and when a friend, who went to see him, asked him what he was doing there : " Oh !" he said, "it's a slight difference of opinion ; I thought all the world was mad, but all the world thought I was mad, and they were too many for me." (Great laughter.) Now, (pursued Mr. Hors'all,) I* mean to say that Lord Aberdeen thinks we are all irrational ; we all think that he is irrational ; and I only hope that you will prove yourselves too many for him. (Loud applause.) The ' next gentleman was Mr. Fox, who thought that the Legislature had no right, to interfere at all with the Roman Catholic religion, but only with the Church of England, because the latter was endowed ; but he quite forgot that the State contrihutes to Maynooth, and grants the Regiunz Donum to the Dissenting ministers of Ire-- land. (Hear, hear.) The next Senator to whom he alluded was the one who moved the amendment, Lord Arundel and Surrey ; and he would read what he said when be spoke, not very long ago, on Mr. Watson 'S bill:: —" His honourable friend who had just sat - down had said that the Church of Rome was antagonistic to Protes tantism. He perfectly agreed with him ; and as long as the world lasted it would continue so, until Protestantism , was extinct." (Laughter.) Now, gentlemen, (continued the Chairman,) we have no idea of letting Protestantism be extinct, and that is the reason we are here to-day. (Cheers.) Again, Mr. Anstey stated that "we have been accused of omitting the second commandment; now, Ii have the book with it in." lam vets glad Mr. Anstey.' had the book ; but, still, that is not what we have to deal with : we have to deal with what the hierarchy would,.if established, enforse in this country. If Mr. Anstey will refer to the Christian doctrine published by Cardinal Bellarmine, by order of Pope Clement VIII., so late as the year 1838, he will there find the second commandment entirely omitted ; while in a large volume on the same subject, by the same cardinal, it is omitted too. In 1815' an explanation of the church doctrine was published at Rome in six different languages, with the same omission ; while, to come nearer home, the Archbishop of Paris, so lately as 1846, published for the use of his diocese a cate chism, and in this also the second commandment was , omitted. But, gentlemen, if they would keep on the con tinent, we should not have so much to do with it. In stead of that, however, they ame to Ireland, and we have three catechisms published there, one by the Right Rev. Dr. Doyle, another by the Right Rev. Dr. Butler, and another by Dr. Reilly, (another Catholic bishop,) in every one of which the second commandment is omitted. It is with the hierarchy, then, who would introduce into-this country a catechism of this character that we have to deal. (Cheers.) We are met constantly by the common argu ment Lhat it is only a spiritual jnrisdiction which the Pope wishes to exercise in the country. but the Church perfectly understands the mode of bringing the spiritual power to work upon the temporal, and a remarkable instance of this has juSt occurred in the kingdom of Sardinia, in the case of Count. Santa Rosa. Depend upon it they will in terfere, too, if you give them the power. with the temporal affairs of this country. Two or three weeks ago I was travelling on the railway, and fell in with a very intelli gent barrister, who said " the people of England are not aware of the consequence of the establishment of the hierarchy. What is it that the Pope proposed to do ? To have the appointment of the bishops and archbishops in England, and, through the propaganda, he will govern this country ; issuing through them his orders to the bishops and archbishops, who, without asking the why or the, wherefore, are bound to carry them out. lam an Eng lish Catholic, (said the barrister,) but lam opposed to foreign interference, and I assure you that will be the ef. fect of it."—(Applause.) Mr. Horsfall then gave, as a sample of the mode which he would have recommended to her Majesty's government, a recital of the affair which recently took place in Corfu, one of the ton►an islands, where a gentleman who, in full canonicals, laid claim to be the Archbishop of Corfu, (by the Pope's appointment.) took possession of the cathedral, and ousted the bishop previously recognised, was, according to the direction of Sir Howard Douglas, the Lord High Commissioner, waited upon by the inspector of police, and advised to quit the island by the same Austrian steamer which had con veyed him thither. This was the way the English Go vernment ought to have acted, and if there had been right men amongst them they would have done so. (Cheers.) He would conclude with the following lines, which had the other day met his eyes " Again the warning voice is heard, The hour of strife is near ; What seeks lie, with his mitred pomp, That rank Italian here? What sought they in the former days, When last that mission came? The will, the craft, the creed of Rome Remain for aye the same." Mr. F. STIAND moved the first resolution—" That, in the judgment of this meeting, the - measure now proposed by her Majesty's Government, in the matter of the papal hierarchy, is wholly inadequate to meet the necessities of the case; that, therefore, in the exercise of their privilege as citizens under a constitutional government, they desire publicly to express their earnest anxiety concerning the progress of the Ecclesiastical Titles Bill in committee, convinced that nothing can so effectually tend to the peace and honour of the country, under the Divine bless ing, as such plain and unequivocal legislation as will pre serve in their integrity our Prcatostant institutions." Ho THE LIVERPOOL STANDARD. held it to be the duty of every Englishman who loved civil and religious liberty to uphold their Protestant con stitution. When he last addressed a public meeting it was in favour of the sentiments uttered by Lord John Russell, but now he was there to censure the measure which he had brought forward. His letter proved to be " sound and fury, signifying nothing." (Applause.) He declared that no independent country could pass over the insult offered to England by Rome, and he saw very little difference between the recent attempt of the Pope on this country, and that of Charles Edward the Pretender. (Applause.) He trusted the result of their meeting would be to remedy many of the deficiencies in the bill now before parliament. (Hear, hear.) Mr. BRODRIBB seconded the motion in a long speech, and, as a free-trader, defended the principles which he had always professed, but denied that the free trade members of parliament represented the sentiments of the majority of those who held free trade principles in reference to the aggression of the papacy. Nothing but a sense of public duty could have induced him to come forward on the present occasion, fearing, as he did, that the expressiOn of his opinions might bring him into collision with many of those with whom, politically, he had hitherto acted. The terms of the papacy, as expressed through Cardinal Wiseman, to spiritual jurisdiction over all baptised per sons, however irregular their baptism, or heretical their opinions, he was prepared to resist to the death. (Ap plause.) If others (he continued) are children of the Crusaders, we are children of the Reformers ; and there was a principle in the Reformation which is capable, even now, in these days of falsity, of resuscitating, if need be, all the energy of body and mind which achieved its mighty accomplishments ; and which shall, in its second and final effort, consummate a still higher triumph. That principle is truth. (Hear, and loud cheers.) Its form is the right of private judgment. With this stone will we slay the Philistine, who has thus dared to defy the etudes of the living God. (Tumultuous cheering.) After showing the necessity of religious toleration, he proceeded to distinguish between Roman Catholics and Papists, declaring the latter to be unfit subjects of any state, where civil and religious liberty was enjoyed. He next proceeded to show the extraordinary powers claimed by the Popes, as the representatives of God upon earth ; their supremacy of the law, and their power of deposing kings and destroying heretics ; read the oaths taken by archbishops, bishops and priests, and argued that they were bound to carry into execution the behests of Rome, and then drew a fearful picture, and read a long catalogue of crimes of the deepest dye of which successive popes had been guilty. Their examples had been followed by all the orders of the clergy, and it had been proved that even the confessional had been made the medium of de bauchery. Referring to the operations of the confes. alone! in Ireland. the information which the priests re ceived in the confessional of intended murders, lie con tended that no such secret tribunals should be allowed, and justified the expressions which had been used in con nexion with this subject by the Rev. Dr. M'Neile. After some further remarks on this subject, the eloquent speaker returned to the. Ecclesiastical 'rides Bill, which he cha racterized as wholly inadequate to grapple with the difficulties of the times. It is not sufficient to fight the shadow ; the reality, must be encountered. Power is sought it must be denien. (Loud cheers.) No foreign potentate must be allowed to rule in these dominions. The Pope would rule through his Cardinal, hisarchbishops, his bishops, and his priests. Their subjects would be the credulous; the disloyal, the ignorant, the weak-minded, the timid, the indifferent, the mercenary, the designing, the ambitious, and the depraved ; their means would be all the terrific engines of the Papacy ; their victims, all who are opposed to them ; their allies, all foreign powers hating England. (ifear, hear.) Their object, to divide us; their end, our subjection, and their final dominion. This must be resisted as we value our existence. (Cheers.) Your battle-field is that whereon your ancestors before overthew your haughty and insulting foe. Your specta tors will be the millions from all nations, come together to witness how the might of fretedom and the power of truth can drive back inextheir dark abodes, from which they have once again emerged, as if unconscious of their own deformity, all the forms of evil and of falsehood; but, above all, you will have for your sure defence the only God of heaven and of earth, who will in this make manifest His glory. (Prolonged and enthusiastic cheer ing.) The motion was put, and carried unanimously, amidst loud applause. Mr. VALENTINE SMITH came forward and proposed the next resolution, which was as follows Convinced that, as a nation, we are indebted, under God, to our Pro testant institutions for the many temporal and spiritual Mercies we have so long enjoyed, and believing that the tone of legislation and the course of policy pursued for some years past have tended greatly to weaken those in stitutions, this meeting is of opinion that we have now reached a crisis which imperatively calls upon the Pro testants of the empire to declare and to act upon their fixed determination to make the Divine law of paramount importance in their national politics."' He proceeded to offer some observations in support of the resolution, but had not been speaking over two or three minutes, when he fell in a fit. Several gentlemen rushed forward to assist him, and Mr. Smith was at once removed. This occurrence produced considerable sensation, and, with a view to allay it, there were calls for the doctor, Dr. M'Neile, &c. The Rev. Dr. M'NctLE then stood forward, and was enthusiastically cheered. He said,—lt is satisfactory to feel that it is no longer necessary to argue, as between Ekigland and Rome, thin great question now before us, and so long before the country. It has-been argued at length by able and eloquent advocates, both in and out of Parliament. The bulk of the British nation-have given heed as an intelligent jury; and after weighing the evidence, they have pronounced a verdict in unmistakable English. " Guilty" has sounded from one end of the country to the other ;- guilty on every count of the indictment,—arrogance in the Pope, ambition and duplicity in the-Cardinal, inso lence to our Queen, and contempt of our church and na tion, guilty. The House of Commons is called to pro nounce sentence. A form of sentence, in the right direc tion, but wholly inadequate to meet the necessities of the cases, the Ecclesiastical Titles Bill, lies before the house for its adoption. Considered as a summing up of the evi dence,.the speech of the Prime Minister, when introducing the bill, was excellent. Considered as a sentence, the bill, even in its original unmutilated form, fell far short of the evidence. Is it not fit and proper, nay, necessary, and should not the people of England say so, and say it so as to be beard and felt, that in this great national trial, the sentence given and executed must be in conformity with the evidence and the verdict. (Hear, hear,.and applause.) If not, we must insist upon having a new trial •, and a high public duty devolves upon the people of England in selecting a new House of Commons. The most upright constituency may be deceived in a new and untried man ; but the constituency who return a detected traitor, on any pretence whatsoever, whether of free trade or protection, deserve to be blotted in disgrace out of the national escutcheon. A traitor to what ? Why, sir, to that stan dard of glorious memory, which should fi'oat in letters of gold over every hustings in the kingdom, "The Protes tant religion and the liberties of England." (Hear, hear, andloud applause.) If some secret of union be not dis covered, if some talisman for coalitions, such as we have not recently witnessed, do not reach the judgment and prudence, and serious forethought of the country : if pre judices and jealousies, local and individual interests, and personal preferences and dislikes, be allowed to separate friends and brethren, just as if no common enemy exist ed ; and if, resulting from this, English parties in the new House of Commons be so nearly balanced as to give but a doubtful, and, at the best, but a small majority on either side : then, what must be the inevitable conse quence ? Gentlemen should open their eyes to this in time. The consequence must be, that the Roman Catho lic-members of the house—acting on critical occasions rs one man, and with one object in view—will hold the key of the eitadel. By giving or withholding support, they will be able to retain or eject any ministry ; and if they retain, it will be cautiously and cleverly, but very effec tually, dictating certain pro-Popery, measures and ap pointments as the price of their support. This is not mere fancy. It is not the chimera of a bigoted imagina tion. (" No.") No, sir, it is the dark and too palpable reflection of the past upon the future—(hear, hear) ;—as any one may know who will take the trouble to reca the compact of Lichfield-house notoriety, and to trace subse quent measures and appointments., especially the history of a right hon. gentleman who bore a distinguished part in that compact, and who novv after a disgraceful but, thanks to the fidelity of Englishmen, an abortive attempt at the Mint to desecrate the coin of the realm, is sent as the unworthy representative of oar gracious Queen to the i court of Florence. The rev. doctor then eloquently pro-. ceeded to show that no concessions would satisfy Rome, and continued :—We are told'that there is no use in le. gislation, that no acts of parliament can be of any avail in this question ; that if you-tolerate the Roman Catholic religion at all, you cannot draw a line between what is-to be tolerated and what is not; that, therefore, you roust let it all in. There are amongst ourselves people who are now holding this language. Is it really so ? Are we so enfeebled—are we so lost ?: Is it come to this, that our parliament, however willing, cannot protect the liberties of the country? (Hear, hear.) We have decidedon re ligious liberty for ati . elassea; but we have not bet sight of the foundation of the nature of things so far,. that if a man tell us that fraud and rebellion form part of his reli gion, that therefore we are to give liberty to rebellion and fraud. (Hear, and applause.) Religious liberty is one thing, but liberty to interfere with the religion of others is another thing. Our forefathers were not afraid in this way. We are told now, (I was told only a. few days ago myself,) " hf you could succeed in having a bill passed through parliament such as you desire, the very moment you inflict a penalty on the Catholics, or anything con nected with their religion, that moment you turn the tide of sympathy in favour of the persecuted, and do more harm than good." Why, sir, had oun forefathers thought that, they would have hesitated before they had tried to turn the tide of national sympathy in favour of Popish James by inviting the Protestant William. (Loud cheers.) But they were not of this opinion. They had a sense of right, and they believed that the nation would uphold them in the right; and we believe so still, that it we had but rulers in parliament prepared to do right, the people of England would back them in the right. (Loud applause.) Nay, the question is, if we have a parliament and our members won't do right, whether the people will not do right in spite of them. (Continued applause.) But a very serious inquiry arises, however. Is it indeed a fact that we have lost sight of the great principle that government is an ordinance of God ? is it true that we have adopted the principle, or the lie rather, that govern ment is an ordinance of the people ? (Hear.) Sir, this, I say, is 'a grave question, and it connects Reef with a grave and important history. In the ages of darkness and superstition, of bigotry and persecution., which pre ceded the Reformation, the assumption of the Pope of Rome was, that ho alone, of all autherities on earth was appointed by Heaven. (Laughter.) You have heard some of the quotations read from the canon law, which justify me in saying this. The assumption was that all ciYil magistrates, kings, and eraperox*,, wege appointed by the Pope ; the Popo alone directly appointed by Christ_ This was the assumption in those days, and it answered their purpose, and built up strongly the absolute supre macy of Rome. It answered a purpose while men had no Bibles to read ; but at the time of the Reformation, when men had Bibles to read, they found that the apostles of the Lord Jesus Christ had said, " The powers that be are ordained of teed ;" that government was an ordinance of God. It showed that the civil magistrate was at least co equal with the ecclesiastical, as far as the origin was con cerned, that both were ordinances of God. The Pope could no longer claim that - his was the only authority from Christ ; he could no longer say that he had a right to put up or to put down kings, for the Truth said that God put up kings as well as priests. In the discussions that took place at the time of the Reformation, this truth was damaging to the advocates of papacy, and how was it met ? After this crisis and on this subject, the Jesuits came to the rescue, and the Jesuits invented the lie, (I can call it by no other name,) that the civil magistracy is an ordinance of the people. This rescued in the argu ment, with many at least, the cause of Roine from the damage which it was sustaining from the Reformers. It was represented then, that still the priest was the only divinely appointed power, that the king was appointed by the people. Facts were appealed to, did not the people set up their own king, and did not the people set up their own government ? Just as if that interfered with the other great fact, that when he is set up he is an ordinance of God. (Hear, hear, hear.) Does not the moon affect the tides, and are not the tides an ordinance of God, the same as though there was no moon ? The agencies, the instrumental secondary agencies, are equally His, and He influences the people to give the kingdom to the man that he hath chosen for it. This was the doctrine held by Milton, who advocated the popular cause as far as any man could advocate it, yet he repudiated the notion that government was an ordinance of the people. He said, (the original Latin quoted,)—`• As if the people did not give the kingdom to those whom God has appointed to govern." (Hear.) Be assured, sir, that the distinction which I have just made, however littleit may corn mend itself to the popular mind at first, lies at the root of a great transition in society,—it lies at the opening of the doors of our constitution. We have fallen practically into the notion, our Radicals have the idea from the Je suits, that Government is an ordinance of the people. If it be. all classes of the people have a right to share in it. (Hear, hear.) If it be an ordinance of God, no man has a right to share in it, but upon the principles of therevealed Word of God, and that makes all the difference. If go vernment be an ordinance of the people, how can you re fuse or cut off from government any class of the people ? On whet principle ? But if government be an ordinance of God, and if God hath revealed the law, then you can, and ought, and must consistently, unless you forsake that law, refuse the seat of government, and refuse participa tion in legislation to those who reject the law of God. (hear, and applause.) And this makes the difference . ;. and if the objection which some of our friends have urged be sound at all, it is because the foundations of right go vernment have given way amongst us, and we have prac tically adopted the Jesuit lie. (Applause.) Dr. M`Neile next noticed the line of argument adopted by Mr. Mark Phillips, to the effect " that there is common sense in what the Pope has done ; but where is the sense of mak ing an outcry against it ? I could understand the mean ing of this outcry if it went a little further, if it said boldly at once, we feel that Protestant argument cannot stand the force of Catholic argument; only give Catholicism fair play, and Protestantism must fall before it ; therefore keep it down by main force." Of all the arguments advanced in defence of this Aggression, this is the most cun ningly devised, and the most plausibly calculated to af fect the English mind', lovers as we are in this country of fair play. And-it has affected many minds. Many good and sincere men have been ensnared by it. (Hear.) In reply to it we must remind Mr. Phillips that Protestant argument is confined to words of reason and persuasion ; but what he calls Catholic argument is not. It deals in practical measures- of intimidation, and coercion, and violence. It denounces from the altar, as a wretch whom it is a Christian's duty to destroy, the Pro testant missionary or Scripture reader, thereby placing his life in danger. The Catholic argument includes ex clusive dealing ; and here, sir,. I should like just to say one word to the gentlemen in this , town who may be here present, that they have a practical duty in this Pro testant question in the protection of their own Protestant workmen. (Hear, hear, and loud applause.) Are the Pro testant merchants of this town aware of the exclusive deal ing of their Popish lumpers and , warehousemen ? (Loud cheering from the gallery.) Aro the Protestant merchants of this town aware of the fact that these warehousemen will not give a dey'i work-to a Protestant? (Hear hear.) and a voice, "It is true,") Are they aware of another fact, are they aware that if occasionally, as once recently, a Protestant was employed among a set of Roman Catho lics, as soon as they found that, they all struck and left the work until the Protestant was turned off? (Shame.) Let me tell these same Protestant gentlemen of this town that they have duties at home in relation to this ques tion, and that talk is not enough. Practical measures should be adopted. lam not justifying idleness or care lessness on the part of Protestant workmen, but we have a right to suppose them to be equally- good workmen, — (A voice: "A deal better ;")—and I will denounce ex clusive dealing. The exclusive dealing. by which Roman Catholic converts are injured in Ireland finds its counter. part here in England. Having next contended that if Dr. Wiseman was protected by law in circulating his " mummeries," and in preaching popery in London, Dr. Achilli had a right to the same privilege in Rome, the speaker endeavoured to show the dire results of the mis taken liberality of the English Legislature, even in this country. Ronianism, long encouraged• by the British Parliament, has, with characteristic gratitude, turned and attacked that very Parliament with the weapons itself supplied. It has spread confusion and dismay amongst our legislators. Availing itself adroitly-of circumstances, it has destroyed one government, hindered the formation of another, and now it is tolerating, on, sufferance, and, doubtless, for a consideration, what scarcely deserves the name of a Government. (Loud.. applause.) Such is the arbiable position in which England is to be exhibited to the visiting world in 1851. The iron! has entered more closely still into the heart of the aristocracy and fellow commoners of England. Family after family is broken up. Parents and children, husbands and wives,' brothers and sisters, friends and friends. are torn asunder. The latest illustration of • my argument is supplied by the hon. member for the Isle of Wight. His- father was member for the island. He was a Liberal.. He would have Ro manism in the State ; and God said to him, " Yes, and you shall have it in the family." His-eidest son, the pre sent member, his heir, on whom his large estates are en tailed, has become a Romanist. This is too much, and now the old man is drinking in bitterness of the cup he filled for himself. (Sensation.) Then the speaker went on to argue that the endowment of Maynooth had practi cally tended to supply priests for the preaching of Popery in England ; and having done so, he came to the political bearings of the question, urging upon the electors the duty which devolved upon them in the present crisis. A town like this ought not to expose itself to an extempora neous movement for candidates in, a moment of excite ment ; a town like this ought to know its men, and be prepared with its n: en ; and ought to make no mistake. (Applause.) It is of great consequence that we should have men about whom there is-no mistake. Is this a fitting place—is this a fitting occasion to make allusion to such men ? (" Yes l.") I think so. (Cries of " Hors fall !" and loud applause.) So far well ; there is no mis take at all about Horsfall. (Loud cheering.) And yet we have asked him for no pledge ; we don't go and ask Mr. Horsfall to say what he will vote for or against. It is not a pettifogging system of pledges; we look for a straightforward, honest man. (Applause.) Well, now, sir, another gentleman is much named in this town, and has a hold upon the opinions, and sentiments, and fa vouritism of a very considerable part of the constituency of this town, and that is Lord John Manners. (Hear, hear.) Now take care that there be no mistake. (Hiss ing and-cries of " He's a Puseyite !") Now, we don't ask pledges; we don't go and ask.the noble lord what he will and will not vote for. I hate, as I said before, that petti fogging course; but let Lord John Manners, if he wishes to be united with Mr. Horsfall as a candidate for this town, coma down here and show himself. (Hear.) Let him come on this platform and meet me. Let him speak out. (Load applause.) I hale been asked to meet him in pri vate, and ask him questions in private. I declined. (Ap- P. • iause ) It .is not a private conference whi c h s h ou ld grtide any public movement. Here we are all straight forward and above-board, and open-handed. (Applause.) .Let a man make known what be is; let a man speak out; let him throw himself.into his speech, and then we shall know him. Now, let us get up areal Protestant meeting —(loud applause)—and if Lord John Manners .is deter mined to be a candidate, let him stand here and speak; let him tell us what. he thinks of the Pope, and of the Cardinal ; let him tell us what should be done, with this in fact, let him deliver himself here Papalbe before Aggression e g u u s a , g e wh withthat l understand, elegance , that he that ee e , that commands. beauty of llf the electors are " shilly-shally," if half-measures are adopted, and no determination be come to as to candi dates, you will: have wrong men pitched upon—plumpers here, no votes there ; and in the confusion of the camp, and the breaking up of Protestant parties, who knows but that the friends and abettors of Dr. Wiseman might step in to misrepresent Liverpool after all ? (Great cheering.) Let these things, then, be carefully considered ; let us consider- that we are in no oreinary times ' • that this is not a common election ; that the interests of England are staked in parliament ; let us.bear this in mind, that the history of England for the nest four or five years-is fraught with weal or woe for generations yet unborn. Oh! that the movement taking place in the land were-sanctified by the• only true Power on which man can rest with security of aaccess !—then we might rejoice that all would still be well,—then we might be glad and rejoice unfeignedly in the assurance that the land, as it has been said is awake, that— Old England's awake\ she is startled at length, Aud majestically spanks in the pride of her strength. There's a voice in the air from her millions of men, Proclaiming her ripe for the conquest then. There's a voice CM the air—its detilsolemn tone Has come from the cottage, has come from the throne, Aud the swell 4f its chorus proclaims to the world That the standard of Protestant truth is tudfurled. The land is awake from the sea to the sea, From the shore to the shore she resolves to b e f ree; She resolves to proclaim that no Cardinal's tread Shall befoul the green sod where our martyrs have bled t Yes, England, no boasting ; be wise, kiss the rod ; Confess your transgressions, walk hu m bly w ith G o d Your watchwords be these, while a b rea th you can draw, The Saviour, the Bible, the Queen, and the Law The rev. gentleman sat down amid the most prolonged applause. The Rev. R. NEWSTEAD, (Wesleyan minister,) moved, and Mr. INmAtv seconded, the next resolution That, considering the constitution and rules of the House of Commons, and the power possessed by an anti-English faction to obstruct any Government, if parties be as nearly balanced as usual, this meeting desire to impress upon themselves, and earnestly to invite the attention of their fellow-sabjects, to the okblic duty of holding as secondary, May 6,151 o at the next general electi on , every diff erenc e of °P.m n which does not involve true Protestant principle, so 0 9 . 1 secure to Parliament an ove rw h e l m i ng ma j or ity of sneL, Protestant.representatives."
