We will hem seriatim 3 have adduced overty of Ireland's rich render it an ob fliculty for them to provide for the We are quite rs and oman Uatti ct of infini s of rel :o this argument ; and that is hut little. Ireland is poor, we grant, and how much that poverty is to be attributed to the spiritual tyranny and darkness under which she is kept, we shall not pause to enquire. But poor as she is, she can, and does, contribute five to six • thousand per annum to the Propaganda of Rome, and ten times that amount to feed the cravings of a mendacious hypocrite, and to carry on the sense- „-,.tation by which he lives. Another plea urged in favor of the proposition is--” the inclination of all the statesmen of one party in the House of Com mons, and the now avowed inclination of the only body of statesmen belonging to the other great party, who are at present in a position to conduct the affairs of the country." It is well Mr. Glad stone ,qualified his as; - ertion by the words "at pre sent," as otherwise it might have been justly re garded as a little too bold. As it is, we regard it as questionable whether it is very prudent to re mind us of the manner in which " the only body of statesmen" of the conservative party manage to " conduct the affairs of the country"—viz.: by .dapting their measures to the pattern of "all the statesmen" of the opposite party, whom, when in opposition, they would have been sorry to compli all ! We have adduced as another reason " the strength which the propo sition derives from popular principles of Govern ment, according to which it is a general rule, unless strong considerations to the contrary intervene, that those who pay to.vards the state shall be admitted as far as possible to share equally in the benefits that may result from the state." Against these arguments Mr. Gladstone states that he finds it difficult to advance any sufficiently weighty to induce him to offer any opposition to the measure, and he is confirmed in this feeling of difficulty by the halting nature of the arguments adduced against its adoption by its parliamentary opponents. We admit that there is much correct. ness in the latter position. Throw from you the high ground of principle, which the opponents of the measure have done—lay down the weapon of truth, and come to a question of pitiful and balancing expediency—and the innate strength of the Protestant opposition is gone. We, however, or the Protestant public out of doors, have not done this; and we are therefore proof against the shaft which Mr. Gladstone levels with telling effect against the parliamentary opponents of the measure. We look in vain for anything tangible amongst round, therefore, and Scotland upon the sub- ore, is clear, as to the will of the arguments which Mr. Gladstone draws forth of Eng ! , from his own quiver. He tells us of nothing which '<3 land ! can justify us in entertaining any hope of a bene ny other members are in the same pos t clear, too, that Mr. Gladstone himself—.- ficial result from the measure, except his belief that - • it is a paradox unjust to human nature to say that in advocating the measure before the conciliatory measures are entirely futile in winning representative of his own constituency, he affections of than.

Ido not say this to impeach or to impede the bill, I believe that this structure of the bill is wise and proper, but let it not be said—in this house it will not be said, but else. where—that this is a paltry gift, because the whole amount of revenue which will be enjoyed by this college will still perhaps, be less than the revenue enjoyed by the University of Dublin ; but observe, that revenue is hvld on. totally different grounds. You have formed an alli ance with the church, and you have given endowments to it, but you have imposed upon the established church se vere restrictions, and you have limited and restrained her assemblies. (Hear, hear.) If you look to France and to Germany, and to other countries, you will find that some thing of giving and taking between the church and the state is usual, but in this country the doctrines of the church were tied down by the state. In France and in Austria it is notorious that no Papal bull is valid without the assent of the state, but the church claims the invio late right of assembling, yet when this endowment is con ferred on the Roman Catholic church of Ireland, it is not limited in any way (. 9 ) it is a gnat and liberal gift, by it we show our confidence in the Roman Catholics of that country, and I trust that it will be duly appreciated, be cause it is unfettered by any conditions, and is conferred in terms more liberal and is subject to less restraints than are imposed on the established religion of this country, or on the Roman Catholic Religion itself in other countries." Certainly the Roman Catholic Church in Ireland, in the agitation and occasional treason against the state, in which she has been immersed for the last half century or more, has shown little which can war rant this excessive confidence in her gratitude or her patriotism ! But we must pause. We have given, we believe fairly, the substance of the speech of Mr. GI dstone in favor of the measure; and we leave it to be tested in its arguments and statements with those far dif ferent and more statesmanlike and Christian argu ments upon the question which we recorded last week, and have again the pleasure of recording in our columns of this day. The Reform Committee of St. Anne's Ward i with Dr. Bradley as their man of all work, and Mr. Brownbill, his intimate friend (!) as their —what shall we call this respectable gentleman's occupa tion ?—must have felt themselves in a merry mood on the evening of Wednesday last. Such at least ought to have been the case if they were capable of appreciating the respect and admiration with which their proceedings against Mr. Parker, and the evi dence by which they were supported, were viewed by the jury, the bar, and a crowded court, and which even expressed itself in the lobbies and the street d a little ear of the (Ghee doubt. that a: at case hounds And again measur tone" nd a THE LIVERPOOL STANDARD Critchley, Bradley, and his intimate friend, the watch-finisher, but for one little difficulty which comes in our way—viz., a slight uncertainty as to the fact whether the five pounds and interest paid by the latter to Mr. Parker carne out of his own peculiar horde or from the stock purse. As Mr. Brownbill, ho.vever, is evidently a conscientious individual, no doubt he paid it himself.—No doubt at all! Independently of all considerations as to the policy or impolicy of the government grant to May nooh, there are some circumstances connected with the 7nanner in which that measure has been introduced and pushed forward, which deserve serious attention. It cannot he denied that the proposal has excited, and is exciting, an unprece dented amount of hostility throughout the country; it is known that extensive preparations are on fort for giving constitutional expression to that hostility; and, in all probability, a week or two's delay, con ceded to enable the public voice to make itself heard, would suffice to convince the House of Com mons of the depth of that feeling which they are about to outrage. Yet nothing will induce Sir Robert Peel even to pause in his arbitrary career ; nothing will induce him to loosen for a moment the clutch with which he holds and wields at his despotic will the unhappy slaves of the treasury benches. He has made up his own mind upon the measure ; and whether the path to its consumma tion be through the mire or over the necks of the constituencies—through broken pledges or in the face of an excited and indignant people—they must follow him or . The blank is not difficult to fill up. Where, we ask, is to be found any plea in behalf of this despotic and tyrannical haste ? Where is one solitary circumstance to be discovered which can, even in part, acquit Sir Robert Peel of the imputation that-he is, in this matter, setting his own will and his own temporary power against the will of the great body of the people ? We see no evi dence of any loud call for this national endowment of a faith against which the nation is in an attitude of protest : there is no strong popular feeling in its favour to be met with anywhere—no public meet ings, no numerously signed petitions. The bulk of his own party in the house either oppose the measure or submit to it with a bad grace. Out of doors it is only acquiesced in by a very small sec tion of the Conservative party, or defended, if at all, upon grounds of pure expediency, or as a sacri fice which i to he made to the whim or to the will of the Premier, in order to preserve to the commu nity the benefit of his valuable commercial legisla- Nowhere do we witness anything like enthu siasm in its behalf; and if it meets with a certain amount of support from the Radical and Popish party, that support is given in a mocking spirit, or in the hope that its successful carrying out will irreparably damage Sir Robert Peel with the Con servative body of the people. Well might he reply to the offers of such support from men whose most earnest anxiety is to wrest his power out of his hands, " Timeo Danaos, et dons ferentes !" And such must inevitably be the result of success in carrying this iniquitous and unpopular measure. We regard it as the certain forerunner of Sir Robert Peel's downfall as a Conservative statesman and the leader of a great Conservative party in this country; and we think we could almost adduce proof suffi cient to convince a reasonable man that Sir Robert himself so regards it, and is preparing himself for that break-up in the political system and the rela tionship of parties which it is calculated to bring about. He is far too astute an observer of human nature and human experience to shut his eyes to the conviction that a second great apostacy, such as is his introduction of this measure, can never he forgiven ; and lie must be conscious, too, that the measures in the same direction as this which he is known to have in contemplation can never be car ried by a thoroughly Conservative ministry. His coquetting with Lord John Russell, and that amia ble nobleman's interference to procure the with drawal of Mr. Ward's amendment, are not without their signification, and proclaim to the world a much closer assimilation between Conservative and Whig policy, and a much more loving tone of mind between Conservative and Whig statesmen towards each other, than is satisfactory to contemplate. We may have imagined all along that we were progress ing down-hill in our legislation quite fast enough; but we may depe d upon it, if the country is not resolute and watchful, we shall shortly he called upon to go still faster, if not ultimately to be handed over to the tender mercies of a Peel-Russell slide into anarchy and confusion. MEETINGSToPETITIONAGAINSTMAYNOOTH. The country, as will be seen by our columns and by the reports in every newspaper which comes into our hands, is up and alive to its duty upon this question. Yesterday, in addition to the meeting in our Music-hall, an aggregate meeting of Protestants of all denominations was held in Covent-garden Theatre ; and a meeting of the merchantg, hankers, and traders of London, convened by the Lord Mayor, took place in the Mansion-house, in pursuance of a most respectably signed requisition. To-night, an aggregate meeting of Protestants of all denominations is to by held in Dr. Raffles' Chapel, Great George-street. Will ministers pay the same deference to these petitions that was paid in the withdrawal of their factory education bill ? We shall see. THE FUNDS, SATURDAY NIGHT.—The English stock market is the shade firmer to-day. Consols, which opened 984 to 8 for money and the account, closed 984 to 9. Three per Cent.

The last of the course of lectures at St. Andrew's will be delivered this evening ; the subject being."

ROBBERY OF TEA FROM A WAREHOUSE.—A ware houseman employed by Mr. Gilbert Gammell was yes terday charged at the police court on suspicion of having abstracted three chests two half-chests and other quanti ties of tea from his employer's warehouse in Matthew street,—the value of the whole £7B The evidence was not, however, conclusive, and he was remanded. THE SELECT VESTRY.—The following are the mem bers of the select vestry who retired from office yester day :—Messrs. Briscoe, Clay, Scholefield, Whitby, Blackburn, Ford, Lea, and James N. Holmes. As yet we are not aware whether all, or how many, of these gentlemen will present themselves for re-election. In any case, however, we trust that the conservative party will not allow themselves to be overridden entirely by the radical party. There is no question of close or open v .stries to perplex and divide them now. The admission of reporters is alreadyggranted, as will be seen from the report of yesterday's proceedi , gs, which will be found in our columns. Perhaps the motion of Mr. Bright will afford them a specimen of what radicalism would do, if trice the ratepayers permit it to have dominant influence without. Pleasant must have been the reflections of all the parties when, after modestly proceeding through the back streets to avoid the congrwula ' Lions of applauding fellow-townsmen, they mct in their sanctum in Richmond-row to gaze upon each other's faces, to perform their ablutions, and to cal culate the cost, in cash and character, of their un successful attempt at persecution. Most heartily we congratulate them—we had al most said we condole with them ; for such excess of glory achieved must be difficult to bear. If they did not "command" success—" 'tis not in mortal to do that"—they did, at least, " deserve it." Their plot was first-rate ; the plotters beautifully assorted. The man of gallipots and the man of files and watch springs shone forth in beautiful fraternization—a perfect Orestes and Pylades—whilst the disinterested and public-spirited prosecutor, Mr. Critchley, made up a happy companion picture. If the jury could only have believed the allegations made, Mr. Parker would have been but a lost town-councillor—" a shotten herring," as our immortal Sir John has it. But most of all to be admired is their scrupulous t icUBLIC FEELING _ AGAINST TUE EN t D 7 O n Wil eb E e N c T on O si ,. honesty and conscientiousness.

Such an arrangement would at once protect the North Union from the possibility of the formation of any line from this port injurious to their interests, and give every legitimate accommodation to the districts which seek for a more direct route to Preston, &c., whilst it would, in all probability, fall in with the views of the Board of Trade, and induce them to recal the sentence of postponement pronounced against the Liverpool and Ormskirk, when it stood as an independent and partially competing line with the North Union. MINISTERS AND MAYNOOTIL-STRENUOUS OPPOSITION OF THE PROTESTANT OPE RATIVES. - ADJOURNED MEETING, AND GREAT EXCITEMENT. The Protestant Operative Association of this town held a glorious meeting last night, at the Nluic-hall, to testify their opposition to the ministerial proposition for endow ing Maynooth. Never was more unanimity exhibited. The room was crowded in every corner, and hundreds upon hundreds were obliged t) go away unable to procure admission. The platform was filled by the committee and friends of the As , ociation, amongst whom were a number of cl>rgymen. The chair was taken, at seven o'clock, by the Rev. HUGH M'NEILE, who is patron of the Asso ciation. The CHAIRMAN commenced the proceedings by saying, I desire to remind you once more that the first of all our duties, in all our ways, is to acknowledge GA, and to confide ;n His promise, that being so acknowledged, He wil! direct our steps. I call upon the Rev. Mr. Graham to ask God's blessing upon this meeting. (Hear, hear.) The Rev. Mr. GRAHAM then offered up a suitable prayer. The Cnar RMAN said, this is a meeting of the members and friends of the Liverpool Operative Protestant Asso ciation. (Hear, hear.) If there be any friends of that association present, who are not yet members, I hope they will this night enroll themselves (hear) ; and if there be any persons present who are neither friends nor members, I hope they will bear in mind that they have not been in vited, (hear,) and as they are here without an invitation, it is reasonable to ear ect from them that they will remain in modest obscurity without any interruption. (Cheers.) This association is likely now to become, if properly managed, one of the mo-t important practical bodies in this town. (Hear.) We had hoped that her Majesty's present ministers—deeply indebted, as they are, to Pro testant influence, and professing, as they did, considerable sympathy with the Protestants of this empire --would themselves have been the defenders of our Protestant insti tutions and of those great principles on which those insti tutions are based—principles, let me add,upon the strength and integrity of which the reigning family in this realm hold the scentre—(lond cheers)—which is strictly and legally limited to a Protestant succession. (Continued cheers.) Had her Majesty's Ministers done so, as might fairly have been expected from the responsible —a Pro testant Sovereign—who continues to be a Sovereign only .while she continues to be a Protestant—(loud cheers) — such associations as this would not have been required, because then Protestantism would have been defended at its legitimate source. (Hear.) But the state of things is far otherwise ; and, therefore, we are thrown upon the painful, but indispensable, duty of self-defence. (Hear.) Protestantism is now in peril in the land, because of the defection of the rulers of the land. (Hear.) I say we are driven to the nainful but indispensable duty of self-defence in this matter; and it is upon this ground that I antici pate benefit from such associations as the present. Our constitutional power is indeed but small, being limited to the elective franchise and the right of petition. Petitions, even in overwhelming numbers, and from an acknowledged majority of the country. are disregarded by a majority of the house. (Hear.) It is therefore high time for us to try whether, by a judicious use of the elective franchise, we cannot manage to cause the majority in the house to be on the same side with the majority in the country. (Hear, and cheers.) It is obvious that by a weapon so rarely used as the elective franchise, nothing can be accom plished except through extensive combination. (Hear.) Under ordinary circumstances, such an amount of com bination was scarcely to be expected ; but we have seen, within the last few days, the Protestant feeling of the country exhibit such a spontaneous and simul taneous movement—with such might—with such en ergy and fervour—that we have good reason to hope, if the rn , asnre against which that manifestation has taken place—the proposed national adoption and endow ment of Roman Catholic doctrines ; —if that, I say, should take place, we have reason to hope that the combination in question will arise in such a manner, and use the el. c tive franchise with such efficiency as to shew, at last, we have still a constitutional representative govern ment, and not a tyrant oligarchy. (Enthusiastic Cheers.) It is in this connection that Protestant Associations and Protestant Operative Associaions may be of invaluable use, and I am happy to tell you that many are in process of formation at this time, in different parts of the country. (Hear, hear.) I have lately letters from various towns in the kingdom. requesting my assistance in the formation of such associations. (Cheers.) Is the time indeed then come for a revival of Protestant zeal, zeal on behalf of scriptural truth really believed and enjoyed ? If so then most assured.y, as a consequence, the time is come for a revival of Protestant canquest. Why, with reason and scripture on her side, has not Protestantism been trium phant ? The reason is because she has not been zealous. With some few noble exceptions, she has not been zea lous. (Hear.) It is zeal that moves men. The right fervour of Protestantism is religious zeal—call it enthu siasm if you will. There must be passion, or men will not be moved. (Hear, hear.) Men, after all, are much more moved by their affections and their passions than by their reason; and no form ofreligion, howeversound in reason, will operate upon the mass of men if it be divested of passions. Prote:tantisrn,relying uponthe intrinsic merit of the truth itself, has net used, with the necessary fervour and energy, the means needful for propagating the truth among men, she has not made use of the enthusiasm of the heart. The right passion of Protestantism is religious zeal. While she was zealous she was triumphant. I appeal to history on this point. While protestantism was really zealous, while she believed what she said, and said it as if she believed it, she was triumphant. (Cheers.) Luther touched the spring, and reformed Christianity started forth like a giant. (Loud cheers.) But all her con quests were made at once. (Hear, hear.) It is a most remarkable fact, she accommplished all that ever she accomplished in the way of conquest in the very age after Luther lived. All her conquests were made while fervour—the fervour of religious passion —was in her heart; and when she cooled into prude: ce, from that day till now she has scarcely held her own. (Hear, hear.) Our own church—our own English Church—has never under stood fully, how to use the enthusiasm of her sons. (Hear, hear, hear.) Instead of acting upon that deeper philosophy of the human heart which cal culates upon the effect prcduced by passion among men, and thereupon directing and guiding the fer vour of even untutored zeal in her service, how has she treated it ? Alas, she has gravely frowned upon it ; and, with cold, calm dignity, she has excommu nicated it. (Hear hear.) Instead of directing the warm current into some skilfully constructed channel, in which it would have given an impulse to genuine or thodoxy, she has been content to allow her orthodoxy to be quiescent; she has dammed up the current uetil, rising in its might, it has burst from her authority, and made a schismatic channel for itself, not because schism was preferred, but because action was morally ine vitable, and the church had constructed no arena for that action. tHear.) Alas, for the consequences! Why— oh, why, should the Church of England have expected that all the ardent spirits of all her sons could be cut down to the Procustes' bed of her mild, calm, classical, and gentleman-like prudettce ? (Hear.) Why, I ask, should an edict of outward uniformity, adhered to as strictly as if it were an essential doctrine of the Gospel, have thrown into dissent thousands of warm:hearted, noble, generous men, who, if they had been wsely and generously treated, would have been the strength instead of the weakness of the church ? (Cheers.) We have t eaped, we are reaping, but we have not yet reaped the fullness of the harvest—the bitter harvest—which was naturally to be expected from that unwise and unphilosophicat, and—l scruple not to say it—that most injudicious Act of Uni formity. (Cheers.) And now the vast varieties of opi nions occasioned by that act are cast in our teeth as a reason why the Church of England should not be attended to, and should not be defended. ((tear, I e Ir.) But, taking matters as they are, looking at the circumstances of the case as we find them, let us do our duty. (Loud cheers.) Let us witne, s our good confession. Let us avail ourselves of our constitutional privileges and discharge wisely arid seriously the respon sibilities connected with them. (Cheers.) I wish to propose a plan to you, a mode of operation by whichyour duty in this matter—especially as many of yen as are electors in this borough,—may be rendered efficient. It is a plan which may be profitably followed as an example in other places. (Hear.) But before Idoso I wish to call your attention to what took place in the House of Commons last F night (Hear.) An hon. and learned gentleman, not content with noticing the arguments which had been brought forward in Parliament upon this subject, did us tne honour of presenting our Liverpool meeti week to the notice of the house. He said,— .‘ The grant was objected to on ehe score of religious pri ciple. These arguments were difficult to reply to (hear), and for of last the most part he could not understand them. (A They eluded his understanding altogether. (Laughter.) lie was told the objection was, that he teach ng at Maynooth was .i each.ng of er ing. He bad in his hand a very remarable report of a speech made at Liverpool. Ile wished to call the attention of the House to observations made upon the present question by a Reverend Gentleman at Liver 001. He really telt it necessary to beg pardon of the House for bringing upon in all respects so Objectionable, but the manner in which the reverend gentleman discussed this matter was, in its way, very striking. He said,—' Was God's word to be pi acti- caily supreme, or not,' and then he went on to observe that though no part of the Bible was obscure, certainly not unin telligible; yet ther were some pictures of the sacred Scriptures so characterised by extreme clearness, that no doubt their meaning was littl, I do not know whether he read incorrectly, or whether it was an incorrect report he read from, but certainly what he is here reported in the Times to have read from my speech is not what I said. I said that although some parts of the Bible were obscure, and some parts admitted of a variety of interpretations, yet the great fundamental differences between Romanism and Christianity were so plain, that to deny them was to make the Bible useless. (Hear, hear.) He proceeded— "The Bible prohibited the bowing down to graven images, it . ohibited adultery, it prohibited theft. Then he added that in. A of endowin for promoting adultery or theft, so they ought not to endow a college which inculcated the practice of bowing down to graven images." That was my argument. He went on,— Now he would appeal to hon. members to say, if that was the manner in which such a question as the present was to be ar• gued, could he or any member be fairly called upon to meet such argumonts ? For his part he should nct attempt to do anything of the sort. (Laughter.) In one thing I altogether agree with this hon. and learned gentleman,—that is, that the arguments in question were difficult to reply to. Neither am I in the least disposed to doubt the truth of what he added,— that for the most part be could not understand them. But I must deny that they are in themselves objectionable in any serious meaning of that word. And I deny it upon this ground—that the arguments in question are strictly scriptural and apostolical. [The reverend gen tleman here defended his argument upon the authority of St. James.] Thhe hou. and learned gentleman, Mr. Roebuck, said this manner of treating the subject was objectionable. I have very little doubt that he felt it so, and for this simple reason that because, notwithstanding ail his tact as a debater, all his recklessuesa as a politician, all his volu bility as an orator, and all his acuteness as a lawyer, he could not understand the argument. (Cheers.) The same gentleman said, in another part of his speech— " They had been told by many ardent persons that the reli gion of the Irish was a superstition and immoral, and parts of their books had been brought forward to prove it ; and that to endow this College was to endow a College to teach immo rality and superstition." He offers no argument whatever against this. What he adds is this : " The insulted people of Ireland would recollect this ; and we should find our danger came not so much from abroad as it was at home." (hear.) He threatens England, that the Roman Catho lics of Ireland would be insulted by saying that the class books of Maynooth taught superstition and immorality , but he does not attempt to deny the fact. (Hear.) He could not deny the fact. If he knows anything of those hooks he knows they teach both superstition and im morality. He leaves the charge unrefuted. (Hear, hear.) [The reverend gentleman then proceeded to deny emphatically the charge of insult to the Irish people.] But (he proceeded) before I sit down I wish to make a few observations upon the speech of a right honourable member, a gentleman of whom I wish to speak with much respect—concerning whom, personally, I have nothing to observe that is not most cordially and sincerely respectful, and concerning whom, politically, I scarcely know what to say, because I do not know where to find him. (Hear.) When this measure of endowing Maynooth was first sug gested as a Cabinet measure, this gentleman proclaimed to the country that rather than go along with it he must give up his seat in the Cabinet. (Hear, hear.) He re tired from that honourable position, and thus gave one of the highest pledges that a man could give of his sin cerity. He retired avowing his conscientious objections to this measure. (Hear.) On Friday night the second reading of this bill was proposed, and early in the debate the right hon. gentleman stood up. I protest when I came to that part of the paper, and saw the name of the speaker, I anticipated a clear, conclusive, and eloquent proof of the strong grounds—the conscientious grounds—which he had taken in leaving the ministry and for opposing this measure. (Hear.) What, then, was my astonishment, what was the marvel with which I found the right hon. gentllernan declaring that although a majority of the peo ple of England and Scotland were plainly against it, and although his own predilections had been against it, he came to give to it " a cordial and anxious support !" (Heir, and hisses.) Well, I then ancipated that some very solid reasons would be assigned for the change. I did an ticipate that his acute and cultivated mind, stored as it is with historical and theological knowledge, would have set before the country some such reasons as having been suf ficient for him, would prove sufficient for the thousands and tens of thousands of conscientious men like him. I trem- bled lest I should become a convert before I had finished his speech! But alas I found absolutely no reason as signed in my judgment with the trouble of printing it. (cheers.) I will mention some of them. The first and chiefest was the expectation that by this measure a better description—a more learned description of priests would be obtained from Maynooth. He says— P Undoubtedly you would have more learned profes , ors, not only in proportion as the salary is larger, but in proportion as you c n induce those who occupy chairs to continue in them long. This m asure would promote something like a learned body within that College, and I cannot entertain a doubt that in that respect it will exercise a softening and civilizing influ ence on the College, and in Ireland throughout its medium." I am quite aware that this anticipation of an improved class of priests is a prevailing one in many men's minds, inducing them to give their consent to this measure. But I am unable to see how the measure takes any security that this consequence shall follow. It is proposed that a large inci ease of money should be at the dis posal of the body corporate of the college : and the bill announces the number of students upon whom that increased money shall be bestowed, and the proportion with which it shall be paid to them. There fore it may be argued with apparent conclusiveness, that if the number be limited while the money is increased, there will be a larger amount -to be expended upon the education of each, so that instead of adding to the num ber of ill-educated men, you will add to the amount of education upon a given number. But I turn to the bill itself. [ The reverend gentleman here read clause six in the bill, which specifies that 253 students are to be educated.] You will notice that, according to this bill, the money shall " be paid and payable to the body politic or corporate," and the clause clearly specifies the number of students for whom the money shall be given. But the money is not to be given to the students. —(hear)--" but to the body politic or corporate" for the students; and what is to prevent them from receiving one thousand students? There is no penalty in the act. (Hear, hear.) We know by the Emancipation Act what wards are good for without penalties. (Hear, hear ) There is no penalty, no protection in the act, against the taking of one thousand students into Maynooth ; and instead of expending the additional funds upon the better education of a given number, expend them upon giving some sort of education to an increased number. (Hear, hear.)—We are obliged, from want of space, to omit the replies made by the ltev. Chairman to a number of other points advanced by Mr. Gladstone. Having disposed ofthem,:he said the time was arrived when it became their duty as British Christians to declare em phwically that in the use of their civil privileges as electors they could not support any candidates for seats in parliament who had proved themselves willing to endow Roman Catholic doctrines, and who were not determined to oppose such endowment. (Cheers.) He held in his hand the following declaration, which would be proposed to them as members of this assoeia'ion and as electors : 't We, the undersigned, electors of the borough of Liverpool, honestly believing the Church of Rome to be. in doctrine, op posed to the d of God, and, in practice, subversive of civil and religious liberty, consider all appropriations of public mo ney for its support grossly inconsistent in our professedly Pro testant rulers, and at variance with the duties they owe to their , subjects. "For these reasons, we hereby declare that no member of Parliament is entitled to the confidence of a Protestant consti tuency. who will not firmly oppose the contemplated endow ment of the Popish Coliege of Maynooth. " April 14th. 1845." He urged them to sign the declaration without delay and to abide by it. He did not know what attempts would be made to force a division upon the second reading of the bill ; but Mr. Colquhoun would be justified in avail inc himself of all the forms of the house, io afford time for the sense of the country to be manifested. Inasmuch, then, as the matt,r thus stood in some uncertainty and they had a great duty to fulfil upon this question, he would recoin- mend that the meetimz, instead of being dissolved, should be adj,iurned till that day week. The rev. gentleman concludc.l amidst loud cheers The Rev. Mr. CONNOR entered into scriptural and au thentic evidences proving that Romanism was an idola try accursed of God. The Bible showed that idolators had ever been visited with His vengeance, and the history of our own country, (as he adduced from the events of many successi%e reigns,) also proved that whenever Po pery was sanctioned by the legislature, England was ex posed to misery and distress; which, on the contrary, under Protestant rule, she had ever achieved glory and happiness. The Romanists were idcl dors (la the three separate grounds—first, that they gave that homage to the wafer which was due only to God ; second, that they paid homage to the dead, and especially to the Virgin Mary, whom they considered their stay and the only foundation of their hope; and, third, that they bowed down to pieces of wood and stone, and to these also addressed prayers. Idolatry was taught at May nooth, for Popery was there taught. He noticed in detail the encouragement which Popery had received from the government since 1792, and the rapid strides it had consequently made. He concluded an animated address by stating that he should oppose the parliamentary mea sure, because he conceived it to be against the Word of God, against the liberties of the people, and against their salvation, and moved that the declaration read by the chairman should be adopted by the meeting, and signed by the voters present. _ THOMAS FORSYTH, Esq. seconded the resolution, in a very effective speech. When it was first proposed o in crease the grant to Maynooth, he was under the impres sion that there had been some agreement between the parliament of England and that of Inland that it should be maintained. His doubts had. however, been dissipated by what h d been said by Sir R. Nei himself. That mi nister had stated that parliament were under no such con tract, and they might withdraw the whole grant at au , time. it 'fore. it was, then.. competent for that meeting ►o urge that the • grant should be no longer continued. (Hear, hear.) If they failed with the Commons, they had still the House of Lords to appeal to (cheers), and if that too failed, they had yet their virtuous Queen, from whom he hoped much, as the blood of George the Third flowed in her veins-,a monarch who had declared that he could lay his head on the block, but never could submit to break his coronation oath.
