THE necessity of Railway communication in the above district has been very obvious for some time past, and the subject has been repeatedly under the notice of the Public. A Petition for a Bill was brought into the present session of Parliament, which would have in some measure supplied the advantages which the promoters of he present scheme offer. But the Petition was not pro secuted ; the Parliamentary undertaking was not com pleted; and more mature consideration has suggested essential changes and improvements, which will give to the prz.sent scheme a decided superiority over any that has yet been submitted, and afford a much great r cer tainty of a profitable return It is scarcely necessary to point out to the community of Glasgow the numerous and populous places which will be accommodated by the Line.. To those who are not familiar with the district it may only be necessary to notice briefly that it will improve the communication to Kilpatrick, Old and New, Miln- gavie, Duntocher, Erskine, Dunglas, Bowling, liryrneo, Balfron, Strathblane, Dumbarton, Bonhill, Alexandria, and the rest of the Vale of the Leven, Lochloroond, Car dro.s, Helensburgh, and the whole of the district both West and North, particularly the parts of Perthshire, Argyleshire, and Inverness-shire, adjacent to Loch lornond. The number of passengers by the present con veyances is considerably upwards of 1,200 per day, inde pendently of them who are carried into the district by the Greenock Railway and the Steamers from Port Glasgow and Greenock. Besides the Steamers on the Clyde which land passengers at Renfrew, Erskine, Dalmuir, Dunglass, Bowling, and Dumbarton, there are Coach conveyances to Dumbarton, Duntocher, Drymen, Balfron, Strath blane, Cannisburn, the Vale of Leven, Lochlomond, and Helensburgh. The district is thickly studded with public works. The time occupied on the journey to Loch lomond is 24 hours; and to Dumbarton is at least 11 hours; besides the delays and inconveniences from want of water and uncertainty as to th • arrival and departure of Boats. It is unnecessary to point out how much may be gained in speed and convenience by Railway convey ance. The existing passenger traffic yields about £15,000 per annum, and, on ordinary principles, would be more than doubled by Railway accommodation. The traffic in goods is still more extensive and profitable. This is chiefly derived from Coal carried from the great Monklandfield, Lime, Manure, Stones, Slates, Goods to and from the , um , wor' TI-rsalterip. - erous ,es raw and manutac tnred, and Agricultural produce. The quantity of Coal carried to Dumbarton and the Vale of the Leven is upwards of 50,000 tons. The present revenue froth goods is upwanis pf 20,000. By a Branch to the Clyde, at a point below rrhi;gow, and so as to keep clear of the Navigatibn in the vicinity of the Harbour, the whole of the Coal and iron from the Monklandfield, amounting to 200,000 tons, for steamers and export trade, might be secured to this Line. This part of the scheme infers the making of a Basin at the Clyde, which can be constructed at a moderate expense. A connexion with the Edinburgh and Glasgow Railway would secure a great increase of travellers and goods. Taking the usual data, and making a large deduction for that part of the traffic that would be retained by the Clyde, there are abundant means for an excellent return to the Capitalist. The Promoters are confident that they are within bounds when they state it at 8 per cent. It is proposed that the present Line shall be worked in connexion with the Edinburgh and Glasgow Railway, so th,t the expense of separate stations and management will be saved. The Promoters look to a great increase of Traffic from the connexion which will thus be established betwixt the markets on the West and East, especially in live stock. The revenue from this source is not taken into account in the calculation of ,th and nothing is allowed for the expenses of carrying the Mail—nor is any estimate made of the revenue to be derived from carrying Minerals and Iron to the point below the Harbour where the Basin may be made. Facilitating the communication with the interesting and romantic region, of which Lochlomond is the Southern extremity, must induce a great increase of travelling thither in the Summer months. Of late, the usual means of communication with Glasgow and Fort-William have been by this route. Travellers from Edinburgh have much preferred it, both for the attractions of the Country and the shorter distances. The Line is very favourable for the construction of the works. The gradients are easy, ;and no obstacle of an Engineering kind presents itself. The Scheme has been brought under the consideration of the Directors of the Edinburgh and Glasgow Railway Company, and the Board have agreed to recommend to the Company to guarantee a return of 3 per cent. on the Capital, on condition of being allowed to work the Line, the working expenses being taken at one-third of the re venue, and the net profits, after paying working expenses and 31 per cent., being equally divided betwixt the two Companies. There is no doubt that this guarantee will be very far within the sum realised, and renders the Scheme eminently secure in point of Application for Shares may be made, in the form an nexed, to Messrs.

The proposal of the lines of the London, Worcester, and South Staffordshire Railway through the district to the west of London and Birmingham Railway, has called for the revival of a line in connection with the London and Birmingham and Midland Railways, from the point of junction between those lines at Hampton• in-Arden to Warwick and Leamington, for which plans and sections were deposited by the Birmingham and Derby Railway Company (now united with the Midland Company) in 1841 and 1842, with a continuation of such line from Warwick and Leamington to join the London, Worcester, and South Staffordshire Railway, the necessity for which was specially referred to in t .e prospectus of that under taking, issued last autumn. This junction will be effected by two lines—one to the neighbourhood of Southam, and the other following the Valley of the Avon till it joins the Stratford and Moreton Railway, near Stratford-upon- Avon, which crosses the London and Worcester line. To complete the communication with Cheltenham, a branch will he made out of the London and Worcester line from Evesham to Ashchurch, on the Birmingham and Glou cester line. These objects are considered of so much importance by the local interests, that their full support has been ob tained for cart ying them into effect. The Report of the Board of Trade in favour of the London and Worcester line states so fully the peculiar advantages of the scheme, that it is unnecessary to repeat them here. The reasons there given for the adoption of that measure apply in a great degree in favour of the present proposal, as compared with any rival scheme, and the lines now proposed are so connected with the London, Worcester, and South Staffordshire scheme, and with the system of railway communication which the Board of Trade have recommended in their Report, that the success of the scheme may be considered to render certain the adoption of the present project. Allusion may, however, be made to the great importance of the junction at Hampton, in connection with the Trent and Cburnet Valley lines, by means of which a direct and uninterrupted communication will be established with Lancashire and the North. The London and Birmingham, Midland, and London and Worcester Companies unite in co-operation with the local interests, to insure the most effectual completion of the objects in view. A guarantee will be proposed by the abovementioned Companies, and a due proportion of the shares will be reserved for local interests. Careful surveys of the whole of the country have been made under the direction of Mr. Robert Stephenson, and application will be made to Parliament for an Act in the next Session The Applications for Shares having already exceeded the number for Allotment, no further applications can be received.

Numerous and iufluential Meetings have been already held in those important districts, loudly calling for Rail way accommodation, and offering every facility and agricultural districts in Scotland with timber, slate, coal, lime, and other minerals, in all which articles they are in themselves wholly destitute ; while the Western Extension of the Caledonian, as well as the trunk Line, intersect tracts of country remarkable for their mineral resources, but requiring a supply of agr:cultural produce from the East, for the immense population engaged in manufactures and mines When Mr. Telford made his survey of a Line from Glasgow to Kelso and Berwick, in 1810, being the first projected Railway in Scotland, he reported that " it might be eat•ily and cheaply made," and that " no districts can be better calculated for an interchange of produce, and for promoting each other's prosperity." . . He further — remarks that, " The whole distance from Berwick to the water summit being 771 miles, and the total rise 753 feet, (which is considerably higher than the summit now proposed to be passed over,) the average in clination is under 10 feet in a mile, or 1 in 528. " Inclinations so vcry easy over such extensive districts of country will enable the intercourse by means of Rail way to be carried on in both directions at a comparatively small expense, and it will appear still more perfect when it is considered that the heavy articles of coal and lime are all to be passed downwards." The Western Extension will foam the sh , rtest and most direct communic , tior from Edinburgh to Kilmarnock and the seaport towns of Ayr and Troon, and thence to Ire- land. - The Glasgow, Dumfries, and Carlisle scheme, which has been reported against by the Board of Trade, proposed partially to open up the resources of Ayrshire, but af forded no access from thence to Lanark and Edinburgh, or to Kelso and Berwick, whilst the Caledonian Extension Railway, in fulfilment of the . anticiffttions of the Board of Trade, will accomplish all these objects, and time afford an equally good route Scutha•ards, COST ANDSpRVEV. he same The length of Railway which it is necessary to construct for the accomplishment of the whole important objects shove specified will be about 104 miles ; and, from sur veys already made and an estimate given by Mr. Locke, the Committee are assured that the Capital of £1,500,000 will be sufficient to cover the whole expense. TRAFFIC. The traffic will embrace-Ist, on the Eastern portion, the carriage of the whole minerals required for the exten sive manufacturing districts around Galashiels, Hawick, Melrose, and Selkirk, consisting of Timber, Slate, Lime, Lead, and IrOn, which must be conveyed_tn on this Railway ; whilst their vast woollen manufa consisting of Tweeds, Blanketings, Shawls, Pla &c. &c, as well as raw material must pass in return 2d,—The conveyance of agricultural produce from highly-cultivated South-eastern districts of Scotland and Northumberland to the dense population and mining and manufacturing districts of the West. Upon a calculation, based upon Mr. Telford's estimate, it can be shown that, at the present day, a return of upwards of 5 per cent. may be reckoned upon from those sources alone, after deduct ing 40 per cent. for expenses. On the Western portion of the line to Ayr and Kilmar nock, a very large mineral and goods traffic may be relied on, independent of the Eastern Extension. From the very highly-important districts which those lines intersect, a very large passenger-traffic may be cal culated upon, not only of a local, but of a general nature. From these sources the Committee feel themselves justified in calculating on an ample return for the Capital required. _ The Subscribers' Agreement will contain powers to the Provisional Directors to be thereby appointed to fix the precise extent and course of the Line, and the position of the termini, as circumstances may render desirable; and powers will be taken in the Act of Parliament to grant a lease of the works to the Caledonian Railway Company at a rent of four per cent. and one-half of the surplus profits. Applications for Shares to be made to THOMAS FORSYTH, Esq., Stock Broker, Exchange Buildings, Liverpool, with whom Copies of the Prospectus and 'Paps of the Line will be lodged on and after the 16th instant, together with Forms of Application. 22, Parliament-street, Westminster, April 12th, 1845.

Registrar's-office, 55, Prescot-street, West Derby PARISH OF LIVERPOOL. AT the SPECIAL GENERAL VESTRY, held in ST. NICHOLAS' CHURCH, on TUESDAY, the 15th day of April, 1845, for the Election of Select Vestrymen, in the place of the Select Vestrymen now retiring, The Rev. JONATHAN BROOKS, one of the Rectors, world. The enlightened statesmen of the Augustan age had attained to that fashionable indifference about creeds, which we see so remarkably exemplified in the instance of Gallic,. 'When this accomplished specimen of the then rising generation, was depaty-governor of Ackaia, he was called on in his judicial capacity to decide in a matter of dispute between Jews and Greeks. It involved the whole question of revealed religion, as opposed to a traditionary polytheism • but the young Roman saw nothing in it bu a question of words arid names, not deserving his atten tion. He turned itway from both the dispute and the disputants, and "cared for none of these things." It is of some consequence, however, to remark, that while Pagan Rome tolerated all sorts of religions, she supported only one. No temples were built at the public expense, except for the state religion;, no priesthood were edu cated or paid from the public treasury, except for the state worship. t Hear, hear.) The Jews were allowed to have their synagogues in every town, to have their own priests, and enjoy their own worship ,• but it was entirely at their own expense. Toleration and protection were distinguished from support. All were tolerated ; all were protected ; but only the State religion was supported. This was the reasonable extent to which Imperial Pagan Rome carried her liberalism. It was reserved for our own days to see an advance upon this : to see an enlightened State having a national religion, and not only tolerating and protecting those who teach and are pledged on oath to teach that her national religion is heresy ; but actually educating them for the purpose, and paying for their education out; of the national treasury ! This outgallins Gallio. (Loud cheers.) The contrast with Rome Papal is still more striking ; because her poli.l , has ever been toleration, abstractedly held, and voluntarily exercised Her toleration has rather been policy, put on for a purpose and for a time, when danger would have been increased by acting on her more genuine sentiments. In proof of this, I shall not have recourse to any voluminous and elaborate treatise, in the hands of the learned only; but simply to the short and popular notes appended by authority to the Rhemish Testament. and inculcated as widely as Papal Rome has ever allowed the Word of God, even with her own notes, to be circu lated. On the parable of the tares, in the xiii. chap. of St. Matthew, the significant note is this : " 29. Lest you plucke vp also.] The good must tolerate the mil, when it is so strong that it can not be redressed without danger and disturbance of the whole church, and committe the matter to God's judgement in the later day. Otherwise where it men (be they heretikes or other malefactors) may be punish , _ d or suppressed"— (Hear.) Suppressed !—what's the meaning of suppres- " Without disturbance and hazard of the good, they may and ought by pu like authority, either spiritual or temporal, to be chastized or executed." Now, methinks I hear the sound of the meeting held last week in London, with a noble lord in the chair, where resolutions were passed civilly expressive of sorrow that Protestants should lay to the charge of their Catholic brethren what has been so often and so successfully refuted. I venture to ask of the noble chairman of that meeting where this charge has been refuted ?—when this charge has been refuted ? —by whom has this charge been refutee? (Hear, hear.) And I venture to send a letter to Lord Camoys through those ready-writers (the reporters) whom we see hear us—(loud cheers) — that if his lordship will have the kindness to point out where, when, and by whom this charge has been repeated, an answer shall be speedily supplied. Tremendous cheers.) Has any Synod of the Romish Church met to condemn the notes of the Romish Testament ? Have the authorities of that Church expungad those notes as heretical ? Hos any authoritative step been taken, by which the church is bound, to clear it of the charge of holding the doctrines which are here circulated by au thority in the notes of her Rhemish Testament, the only translation into English which they have to circulate. You will recollect that the Old Testament, called the Douay Bible, and the Rhemish Testament, form one publication of the Scriptures, when put together, and is the only authorised edition which they have translated into English. These notes I have read from part of the Rhemish Testa ment; and I hold in my band a copy of that book pub lished by the authority of that church. (Hear.) If they could clear themselves of the charge, we should be thankful to see it ; but so long as these notes are published, by authority, as the only English Testa ment they have—so long as they may he applied to as soon as the danger of putting them into practice shall have passed away, we must be excused if we cannot take the word of Lord Camoys, when he says that the charge has been often and successfully refuted. (Loud cheers.) Upon this principle, toleration is Rome's policy at present, and her practice in England, where at present she has no power to do anything else; but, for the in struction of Lord Camoys and his coadjutors at that meeting, I may venture to assert, that in some parts of Ireland, where Protestants, especially converts from the Church of Rome, niay be put out of the way without danger to the faithful, there Rome begins to be more sincere; and in Madeira, where she has full opportunity of pleasing herself, she has given practical proof that the Rhemish notes are not merely a dead letter. (Hear.) What, then, should England do? 1 certainly cannot commend to the imitation of our country the example of Papal Rome. I trust that no British authorities may ever be found profaning their power by inflicting any injury on any man because of his religious opinions ; but I do most cordially commend for imitation on this parti cular point the example of Pagan Rome : she tolerated all—she protected all ; in return for this protection, she levied taxes from all ; but she endowed only that which she believed to be agreeable to her gods. This is an example worthy of imitation. But if it be argued still that it is invidious, and seems to be unfair, that in a divided nation, where all pay taxes, public money for religious purposes should be given on one side only, what have we to answer ? For myself—and I believe I shall not be alone in this—l answer, that if the religious per ceptions of Englishmen be indeed so indistinct that they cannot clearly and broadly separate fundamental truth from destructive error; and if their faith in God be so weak relatively with their courtesy towards one another that they cannot feel justified in giving practical prefer ence to acknowledged truth; then, as the next best thing, I would recommend the entire cessation, after reasonable notice and saving existing interests, of all grants of publ , e money for religious purpoies. (Enthusiastic cheering.) And if the inquiry be further made, as of course it will, should this extend to and include the Established Church ? [Here there was some interruption by parties attempting to obtain an entrance into the room. After some delay the rev. gentleman said,—You see, my friends, you are destroying the meeting, and defeating your own purpose by attempting to crowd into the room. If I could matte myself heard on the stairs—(a cry, "You can, Sir,") — Well, then, I would say, fair play 's a jewel—(laughter)— recollect, first come first served, and as the room is built of brick and mortar, and not indian rubber, you must just put up with the inconvenience, and let those who have ob tained admission hear quietly. (Cheers.)] The reve rend gentleman then proceeded as follows :—I had, said he, made a eeneral statement about endowments, that I would rather they should all cease if the peo ple cannot distinguish between truth and falsehood; and I was just asking how that should bear upon the established church? I answer, first—There is an essential difference between a proprietor and a trustee, and no one but a proprietor can ever become a donor. The state is not, and never was, the proprietor of the property of the established church. That property was given by various individuals at various times, under laws and regulations which constituted the state its official trustee ; and although the state has the power, of course, to alter the laws, it would be a breach of trust to alienate that property from the purposes for which. the voluntary donors originally bestowed it. This constitutes a differ ence between the property of the established church, and grants from the public treasury; and this appears to me to be conclusive, as far as that portion of church property is conce ned which was so entrusted in this kingdom pre vious to the introducti n of Roman Catholic doctrines. The ecclesiastical body corporate, which then existed, held identically the same opinions that the Established Church holds now. The Nicene creed, which is our creed, was also their creed. The new articles of Pope Pius the Fourth, which we repudiate, they had never heard of. Thus, the Primitive and the Protestant are one—one in all that constitutes, or can constitute; the identity of a body corporate, not one in the very indi viduals composing it, but one company associated for the same purpose, and holding the same opinions. (Herr, hear.) This opens, while as vet it lerves untouched, ano ther feature of the case. During the time that Roman Catholic opinions prevailed, additions were made to the property or the church—large additions in both houses I lands. G J.

April 16th, 1845 ANOTHER PROTESTANT DEMONSTRATION Last night the adjourned meeting of the Protestant Operatives took place at the Music Hall, and long before the hour appointed, the room and stairs were crammed to suffocation by respectable gentlemen and well-dressed ar titans Mr, Parker ? of St. Anne's Ward, appeared long before the proceedings commenced, and was loudly cheered on taking his seat. We never saw so densely packed or so eager an assemblage The Rev. HUGH NI`NEILE in the chair, Prayer having been offered by the Rev. W. W. Ew bank, the Rev. Chairman rose to address the meeting, and was received with treme , do.►s cheering. After stating that the meeting consisted of the Protestant Operative Associa tion of the town, he proceeded to say,—ln thus assembling and re•assembling together, we are not actuated by any desire to find fault with others, nor to hinder any of our fellow subjects from enjoying any advantages that can really conduce to their true happiness, but we are assem bled under a deep sense of our own responsibilities and particular Christian duties. The question now before the kingdom is the whole question of the Reformation—(hear, hear)--a question of the moral conquests of three centu ries. (Hear, hear.) The Reformation of England con sisted of two leading branches—the one theological, and the other legislative. In theology the victory was won by our faithful controvertialists, Right Rev. Prelates and others, many of whom sealed their testimony to the all•sufficiency of the Son of God as the Saviour of man by their blood. In the Legislature the victory was consolidated from time to time, until at last triumph was inscribed on the banner of England by the Act of SettleMent. TI at victory was followed by a long peace —I will not say the best possible use was made of that interval, on the contrary—alas, far otherwise ; and, now, the whole line of contest has to be gone over again —the Tractarians in theology', and the Parliament in legislation, are both busy in the service of Rome. In opposition to both of them we are associated in defence of Protestant ism, and I am thankful to say, the voice of Britain, out of doors as they call it, is with us. (Loud cheers.) Our sense of duty, my friends, is not superficial or transient; it rests upon our deepest and most abiding convictions. With the sacred Scriptures in our hands, and the history of the Christian Church before us, in its primitive purity, and its subsequent defilement, we - believe, and are per suaded, that Romanism is fraught with dishonour to God, and is destructive to our fellow -creatures. (Hear, hear.) With the political history of the world also open before us, we are equally persuaded that Romanism, as a system,. is so essentially opposed to the well-balanced interests of authority in the ruler and liberty in the subject, that in proportion as that system is raised into ascendancy, the nations of the earth must sink into slavery,—slavery men tal and bodily, slavery civil and religious. (Hear, hear.) Is Romanism to be endowed, is socinanism is to be en- We perceive with pain that the present discussion of the dewed, for the sake sf fair play ? Or is the Church of great principles of the Reformation is entangled and fet- England to be disendowed in order to get rid of apparent tered by the question of endowments ; and that both the preferences and partialities? I say if that alternative be tone and practice of the legislature is tending strongly and so put my answer is this, and I believe I shall not be rapidly beyond the bounds of just toteration a nd e rotec- alone in it—" rather let the state confibcate eve.ly farthing Lion, even to the indiscriminate support, from the public of Church property and apply it to national purposes than treasury, of all sorts of religious bodies, without regard to endow wills one penny which is fundamental error." the agreement with, or opposition to, the Word of God, (Loud cheers.) The alternative is a solemn one; but of the opinions which they maintain. lam much struck every thing is comparative, and I hold it to be a ruiner evil with the. contrast in this respect between England as i to be guilty of sacrilege against the intentions of human now represented (should I not rather say, on this testators and donors, than to be guilty of blaspheming question, misrepresented.) by the present House of i a!ainst the plainly revealed will of Almighty God Cemmons, and Rome : Koine Pagan, as well as Rome (Hear, hear, and cheers.) And now as regards ti‘- Thp relieion. it it • an ._._ .. am tree to au, it a tits tinction could be clearly drawn, if a seperation could be made between the primitive portion of church property and the papal additions to church property, and if the in tentions of the donor, irrespective of truth or falsehood, were binding upon the trustee, I think, and I freely ad mit, and boldly say, that then—if that were so—the State would be as much bound to apply the papal portion of church property to those that represent the papal chic trines, as to apply the primitive portion of church pro perty to those who represent the primitive doctrines. (Hear, hear.) But the distinction cannot be made. It is absolutely impossible to make the separation. Even independent of the great question of truth or error, an equitable adjustment is absolutely impossible. In the meantime the nation has declared again and again that the question of truth or error ought to have chief weight. (Hear.) The Act of Settlement—eminently a national act—proclaimed that truth should be paramount, and truth alone endowed in England. The influence of that act—still eminently a national sentiment—rnodi. fled the concessions of 1829, and rendered the con tinued Protestantism of the sovereign and keeper of the great seal imperative in England. The State, also as the trustee, has been continued Protestant. If that is, now, to continue no longer—if the State as trustee can no longer feel justified in applying the whole of the church property to one class without finding resources somewhere else to give funds and endowments to another class—if this alternative must be pit. and acted upon (mind these hypotheses)—if tauth and falsehood can no longer be distinguished so as to be the basis of action, e other a ice is to be acted upon in ru bate 1 , t..t we.k. have watcl Empire in the zenith of its grandeur polytheism, supported by the public re- have been anxious to see whether the question of truth error won't] be taken up by any honourable,_or right lion. _ venues. , policy of the empire was tolerant of all sorts of opinions concerning the gods and the unseen gentleman. or noble ford in the house. J made an at tempt, us you know, to get the question of the truth or falsehood of the matter canvassed before the debate began. There was no response—no entering into the question. (Hear.) Last Monday night I told you, at the beginning of the debate, that brrnch of the subject was not taken up at all ; but in the course of the week there was one, a master's, hand applied to it. The right hon. gentleman the member for Edinburgh, [Mr. Macauley] in a very splendid and talented speech, did for a little while attempt to gropple with this great subject. He did it in this way. I have not the paper with me, and there fore quote from memory ; but what I say is substantially correct. He said, that, in endowing the Church of Scot land and the Church of England, you were endowing error, because there is nothing perfect. (Cries of "Oh, oh.") There is some error, in every church, he said ; the Church of Scotland and the Church of England disagree in some things; they cannot both be perfectly right; therefore, in endowing both, you are endowing some error. (Cries of " Oh, oh.") Then he spoke of the translations of the Scriptures into the languages of the east—translations containing, in the first instance, many errors, yet they were circulated ; and he drew an argument from thence, that, as you are under an inevitable necessity to endow some error, therefore you are only deing what you have been 'already doing, and what you cannot help doing, when you endow Popery. (Hear, and a laugh.) This was the substance of the right hon. gen tleman's argument, only I have render -el it from his high and polished elocution, down to the plain English of her Majesty's subjects the Protestant Operatives of Liver :mil. (Cheers.) And in similar plain English I want to tell you what I think of it. (Cheers.) I want to ask you whether there is not a very considerable difference between nutritious food, containing as much of our food does contain, some mixture of poison, (such is the strange order of things) and a poisonous dose outright ? (Hear aod cheers.) Is there not an essential difference between. /be prosagation of subsearitiel truth, although it be inevi bly allied with some mixture of error, and the propaga tion of notorious, fundamental, destructive error? (Chs.) I would ask the righ tlete t roaddt h mo:aff, o nseeo n leerysf . et gentleman whether he does not recognise the difference between essential and non essential things? ' I know the Church of England and the Church of Scotland differ, but in what ? Why one has a Church Government with what is called a Bishop at the head of it, and The other has men at the head of it for a year, whom they call Pres sbyters, and once a-year, when they meet in Edin burgh, they have a Moderator of all the Presbyters ; and during the meeting he is the Bishop of Scotland. These are differences ; but in what respect are they parallel to the difference between Romanism and Chris tianity? (Cheers.) In what respect are they parallel to the difference between the one offering once offered upon the cross on Calvary and the offering of the sacrifice of the mass ? (Hear, hear.) The differences in the one tett c ihho a soieunser,;i tnepositively,l iareoerf this atlrleecasesuper-strata ue linfinitesimalb,oie:frt..te the enboarcytfretoeaebrmrr.egrtpou:r(,meLeleonnt have tda e rtv: c: d etehh i e ff sge e acr re r ies e :. differences cei ques tion urs Yet h i rse n e.t. It was with no small concern that I saw, toe ards the close of the final speech in the debate—in the spe ch of the right honourable baronet at the head of her Maj sty's government (hiss , s. and cries of " hear ")—a reference to the agitation in Ireland—the agitation which has for its object the dismemberment of the empire. (Hear, hear.) It was, I repeat, with no small concern that I observed the right hon. gentleman said, that that agi tation could not be suppressed by force; and upon this ground he advocated the measure before the house as a mode of suppressing the agitation by kindness. (More hisses.) I would venture to say te that right hon. gentle man, entrusted as he is with the government of this coun try, that it is the duty of the government, s a long as the law is as it is, to see that law respected. (Cheers.) The union between England and Ireland is the law ; and I say it is holding out a premium upon disaffection, agita tation, and rebellion—(cheers)—for a gentleman in his situation to tell the country that the law cannot be up held, (for that is the meaning of it,) and that the agitation cannot be suppressed. But the aeitation is against the law ; and it is saving in other words that, as the law can not be maintained by the power of the state, it must be altered in order to please the disaffected, and in order to cater to the appetites of the rebellious. (Loud cheers.) This I conceive to have been one of the most dangerous sentiments that have been uttered for years by any msmber of her Majesty's government. I consider, that to tell the nation from that high place, that the law cannot be maintained by the power of the state, but it must be altered to meet the demands of the disaffected, is a most revolutionary sentiment. (Great applause.) Is it any wonder, then, that we are associated to oppose this measure ? Are we not perfectly justified in using every constitutional effort in our peer to hinds this measure, or, if it should pass, to remedy it a t th e ear li er possible opportunity? (Loud c rie s o f " Y es , yes, " an cheers.) Are we not perfectly justifi e d i n s i gn i ng suc h a r el declaration as that which was submitted to you last week? (Cheers.) I have been making inquiry, and I believe I shall be quite justified when I tell you, that upon comparing the sheets with the poll-book, in order to guard against any unintentional zeal upon the part of non-electors who might have signed the declaration, sup posing it to be a petition, but who really were not qualified to sign it seeing it is a declapation of electors only. 800 voters have appended their names to. that declaration within the week. (Cheers.) I anticipate twice that number within a very short time. I have before told you of the use to he made of this declaration. You must be early in the field if your measure of political influence is to be practically efficient. (Hear.) To be early in the field you must have this declaration ready to send to the gen-- tlemen who compose the Conservative Slciety, who, in their combined wisdom associate for the purpose of select ing the candidate to represent yon in Parliament. (Hear.) nu y met in couclave the last time when. Mr. Justice reesseie well was appointed to the bench and left a vacancy, to de termine whether they would propose Sir Howard Douglas your present member or Mr. Colquhoun. After some debate they determined upon Sir Howard Douglas. All the time you knew nothing about it. The first you heard of it was, that "there was a candidate." you had no choice. If you leave the matter to the last now. you will be card al down with the stream, hod you will have no choice. In order to have an independent will, you must have an early will . (Cheers.) Here is the oportu nity. We are giving you an oppootunity of an early will. One or two thousand of you sign this declaration ; then we will send it into the Conservative Committee, and and when they sit down to consider who will be a fit and proper candidate to select, they will have to consider this, " we want to have a Conservative candidate, but look at these 1,500 or 2,000 fellows, they will have a Protestant." (Cheers ) They will say. "if we select i for a candidate a Conservatiove,, who snot a Protestant," i —a queer sort of a combined animal—" f we select a Conservative who voted for the Maynooth Grant, and the radicals bring forward a candidate. these 1,500 or 2,000 men will walk away; thus, the radical will he in ; and it will be our fault, for they gave us notice." (Ch , ers.) 'reds is the very turning point. They will blame you for letting the radical in ; but if you have the first word, and if they do not' choose a Protestant, you can blame them. (Loud cheers.) This is the plain English of the present movement ; and seeing that the interests of the Reformation are at stake, I consider myself altogether in my place when I am encouraging this movement. (Cheers.) The reverend gentleman then re id the follow ing extract from a letter from the Lord Bishop of Chester, to show that his opinions on the Maynooth endowment had been misunderstood : " Eaton square, April 11. " My dear Dr. Tattershall,—l shall have great pleasure in presenting your petition, and heartily wish it were likely to meet with success proportioned to the justice of its prayer. ' J. 13. CHESTER." (Signed; (Cheers.) He alao read the followiug from Sir Howard Douglas:— _ Grear-street, April 12, 1845 "My dear Sir.—l have the honour to acknowledee the re ceipt of your letter dated the 10th instant, and to acquaint yon that the petition which accompanied your letter was presented to the House of Commons yesterday by my noble colleague. "I V receive with great gratificatiOn the vote of thanks from the great meeting by which that petition was vot d. I thank yon. my dear sir, for the terms in which you communicate to me that expression of public feeling on this most important subject, and beg to assure you that I s.zall continue to act in this as on all other occasions, in conformity with a firm and steady attachment to the great print pies of the Reformation. " I have the honour to be. my dear sir, Your most obed t. humble servart, " HOWARD DOUGLAS " The Rev. Dr. Tattershall " (Loud cheers.) The reverend gehtlemen consed his eloquent address amidst loud applause. [Our reporters had prepsred reports of the addresses of Mr. Parker, Mr. Harhord, the R.-vs. W. W. Ewhank , D. James, and J. James, in movinc and seconding the the next resolution, but at so late an hour that we could not find room for them.] The CH AIRMAN then in a very animated speech, which was listened to pith profound attention, said that as the last speaker had truly said that in reaching the place of meeting after the opening (being detained elsewhere) he had the greatest difficulty in getting in, and found many hundreds on the stairs and outside, who could not accom plish an entrance, it was proposed to him, and he cordi ally acceded, that in order to follow out the object in view a requisition just prepared, and alraady signed by many gentlemen, wh;ch he held in hand should be forwarded to the Mayor, suliciting him to call a public meeting of the borough, to adopt en address to her Majesty, imploring her as our Protestant Sovereign, to exercise her royal pre rogative, and refuse her signature to the bill should it reach she throne. The Chaitman then addressed the meeting with great effect; and after he had pronounced the benediction, the mcetublage quietly dispersed. On Thursday last, a young man named Cadwallader Jones. whilst unioatlin4 a lorry laden with ootton, at the New Quay. fell on the pavement, and was so much in jured that he died on the following day. FlRE.—Early yesterday morning, a fire was discoverect in the yard of Messrs. Thos. Vernol and Co., iron ship builders, North-shore.
