I quote from an impartial churchman, gone to his rest, who wrote before the Oxford controversy began. Bishop Jebb, "on the peculiar cha racter of our Church," remarks—" In the Preface to the Common Prayer concerning the services of the church," we are directed " to search out, by the ancient fathers, for the original and ground of divine service;" and in the same pre face, " the godly and decent order of the ancient fathers is referred to as the standard of our worship." The Bishop also cites the well-known and yet standing canon of our church, passed by our reformers in full provincial synod, 1571. which canon reads thus :—" Let preachers above all things be careful that they never teach aught in a sermon to be religiously held and believed by the people, except that which is agreeable to the doctrine of the Old and New Tes tament, and which the catholic fathers and ancient bishops have collected from that very doctrine." Again, in strict observance of this pole-star of catholic principle, our church teaches all her members to " pray for the good estate of the catholic church"—(not the Roman Catholic peculiarly)—and to profess belief in the creeds in that article of settlement— " I believe in * * the holy catholic church." Hence, that for which some of these clerical lecturers have been vilifying learned and pious clergymen, because labouring to revive—Catholic teaching—actually forms part and parcel of that very Prayer Book to which these lecturers, equally with their opponents, have subscribed their " unfeigned assent and consent." To all unlearned laymen like myself, our Incomparable Prayer Book is " the voice of the chur ch ." Our Savi our bids us " hear the church." His apostle , St . Paul, testifies that " the church of the living God is the pillar and the ground of truth." As Trajan and ot her con querorsthe e had their victories inscribed on perennial p illars, so are true interpretations of eternal truths, which Christian people are to believe, inscribed, as it were, on this pillar— the visible church. Hence, as our " report," both in its i tone and wordng, was in perfect keeping with past parricidal proceeding s; as i t spoke of ourselves as " the church of Christ, —a Phrase so ambiguous that sectaries of every grade and shade shelter beneath its elastic pliancy—and as it wen t on to inculcate eter na l Christ and the Church" between the Church o f enmityß9 Rome,"—(as if we ought not to pray and long for what our Saviour prayed for, that all might )e one in Him," and to pray united Rome may put away her bominations and be a aw rehensive bond of Christian brotherhood—fever, with ourselves in one o ;fit may be granted us from above —if ever, and all these ex were embodied in the report I felt bound to object prised PRIESTLEY'S FURNITURE PASTE For Cleaning and Polishing Furniture without labour or trouble.

On the motion of• Mr. Jonx RIGBY, seconded by the Rev. W. W. EWBANIC, the Rev. Dr. Tattershall, locum. bent of St. Augustine's Church, Shaw-street, was unani. mously called to the chair. The CHAIRMAN then said,—MY Christian friends, it has been ever the custom of the Protestant Association, from its first formation, to commence all its meetings, whether of the committee or of its members, with an act of prayer and supplication to Almighty God, for his blessing upon the pur pose of their coming together. (Hear.) lam sure it will be your desire, as well as my own, that the present occasion should afford no example of a deviation from so excellent a rule. (Cheers.) If even in regard to the affairs of this life it is not in man that walketh to direct his own steps—if even in referenie to the affairs of this world, the ignorance and the shortsightedness of men are such, that it becomes needful for u§ to ask Divine direction and support; much more, surely, will the same hold to be true, when the object we have in view is the maintenance of the truth of God in its integrity, the promotion of true religion, and the inte rests of the kingdom of Christ among mankind. (Cheers.; I shall therefore, with your permission, beg my reverend brother, Mr. Nolan, to open the proceedings of this meetini with prayer to God for his blessing. (Hear, hear.) The Rev. THOMAS NOLAN then offered up a most im pressive prayer. The CH AIRMAN, on the meeting resuming, addressed them as follows :—My Christian friends, as we have now been en gaged in an act of devotion, as we have been invoking the presence of Almighty God upon our meeting together, I trust I do not flatter myself with any vain expectation, if I express a hope that in answer to prayer, the blessing may be vouch-, safed ; and that all the remainder of our • proceedings this day may be suitable with this beginning—(hear)--that both with regard to speakers and to hearers, it may prove that there has existed among us that consciousness of the divine presence, that sobriety and thoughtfulness by which our whole procedure may be of a character suitable to that with which it has commenced. (Hear.) It is usually, I believe, ex pected that at the commencement of a meetin ,, like this, the individual who has been selected to have the honour of occu pying the chair, should offer some few observations with re gard to the nature of the object for which the meeting is convened. In my own individual instance, I think I might not unreasonably plead to be exempted from any further exe cution of a duty of this kind, because the object of our meet ing is at once so simple and so well known ; and, because, I ,hP upon former occasions, endeavoured, as moreover, -, well as my poor ability would allow, to explain the purpose of the Protestant' Association. But I can scarcely persuade myself to foregcraltogether the privilege of the position in which your kindness has placed me, of offering to you a few remarks, even though it may possibly be at the risk of tread ing upon ground which, it may be thought, belongs more properly to those who should follow me. I observe, then, that the nature and objects of our association are explained in the very title of it. (Hear.) It is the Protestant Asso ciation—(cheers) — it is an association for the promotion of the principles of protestantism—that is, for the promotion of pure, of original, of primitive Christianity—(renewed cheers) —of Christianity not mutilated, not defiled, not deformed, as represented by that fallen'part of the Christian church, whose degraded religious condition we cannot too deeply lament — but, as restored, as set free from all the incrustation and de filements by which it has been despoiled of its beauty, by which the harmony of its proportions has been disturbed, and by which Christianity itself has been bereft of its life-giving power, and made inefficacious for the great purpose tor which it was revealed of God to man. (Hear, hear.) We meet, my Christian friends, now, under circumstances extremely dif ferent, totally different, from those in which we have been placed upon former occasions. (Hear, hear.) Since the time that we last met together, it has pleased Almighty God—for it is from Him that coineth down every good and perfect gift—to bring to pass a wonderful change in our national eir curnstances and condition. When we last met together our national affairs were in the hands of men, a not undistin guished individual in the iiomber of whom is reported (and I know not that any cOntraclidtiorrhas been given to the re port) to have said, with regard to some contemplated mea sures, that they would inflict "a heavy blow and great dis couragement" upon Protestantism. (Hear.) Now surely, when we consider what Protestantism is—that Protestantism is neither more nor less than primitive Christianity in all its beauty, and glory, and power,—when, I say, we consider Protestantism thus, and remember that the design was contemplated of inflicting" a heavy blow and great discou ragement" upon it ; when we consider, moreover, that it is by virtue of Protestantism that our beloved Queen holds the crown of this realm—(great cheering) . —when we consider, I say, that Protestantism is such in itself, and that it stands in such a relation to the monarchy which we love, and of which we will be the firmest supporters ;—(cheers)—to think that the affairs of the state should have been in the hands of any men who could talk, or conterpplate a case, of inflicting a " heavy blow and grea t discouragement" upon Protestantism, —(hear)—we catinot but rejoice to think that the affairs of our nation,—that the chief administration of them, is in such hands no longer. (Great cheering.) We cannot but rejoice to think that since the time we met together before, the very important and imposing ceremony has been performed, and performed at the instance of the whole nation, of politely handing over the gentlemen who occupied that position to the opposite and less infl uential side of our legislative houses ,— (hear) —and that the affairs of the-nation are now in the hands of others, of whom we have reason to be proud, of whom we have reason to rejoice, that they can be safely entrusted to their hands. (Cheers.) And though it be true, unfortu nately, that our present rulers do not see some things precisely in the light in which we see them, and do not take in all re spects, and to their full extent, the measures we could desire them to take, yet we have still the assurance that no case would be contemplated by them, or be otherwise than re pudiated with indignation, which could be supposed to in flict, or which they thought would prove, " a heavy blow and great discouragement" to Protestantism. (Cheers.) I shall be understood in one remark which I have just made, to be alluding to what we cannot but consider their inconsistency in the continuance of the grant for the support of the College of Maynooth. (Cheers.) I see already that the vast assembly before me joins in this re gret. (Hear.) It could not but have been a delight had we seen, as one of the first acts of the new administration, a measure so inconsistent as that of supporting idolatry (for such it is) utterly repudiated. (Hear.) I regret it upon another account, because I believe to have discontinued that grant at the first moment of the new administration coming into power would have been an easier work than at any sub sequent period.: (Hear, hear, hear.) One feature, as in some measure connected with this, of the proceedings of a former government deserves, I think, to be mentioned. It is well known that there has existed for a long period a so ciety in connexion with our national church—an incorporated society for the propagation of the gospel in foreign parts — that is, for the support of the Christian Protestant ministry, among many of our own countrymen, professing Christians, who are expatriated from their own land, who have from vari ous causes been compelled to retire to the British colonies. Now, for a long time this Society for the Propagation of the Gospel in Foreign Parts received the support of government; I think, indeed, that the sum of £15,000 a year was voted by parliament in aid of the support of that society, for the maintenance of the true gospel of our Lord Jesus Christ in our foreign dependencies. (Cheers.) Now, surely, one might think that if it were thought a necessary thing to withdraw the sum of £15,000 by the year from the support of the true gospel of our Lord Jesus Christ, it would not have been too much to expect that £lO,OOO a year should also be withdrawn from the support of error. (Great ap plause, and cries of " hear, hear.") I may venture also one remark upon a subject which affects us, somewhat more nearly, at home. Not only has a change taken place in the administration of the affairs of the nation generally, but a not less remarkable change has taken place, nearer home, in the administration of the affairs of our municipal corpora tion. (Hear, bear.) To one particular subject to which the support of the corporation is directed, and in which of all others the deepest interest is felt by our whole commu nity, I may be permitted very briefly to advert. (Hear.) I shall be very well understood already to mean the question concerning the Mode of conducting our corporation schools. (Hear.) It is never any part of my intention to attach need less or extravagant blame to any party or individual what ever; and I am perfectly willing to believe and concede (if it be considered a concession) that the individuals who had heretofore the conducting of the affairs of those schools, and who suffered Roman Catholic error to be taught in them, may have been acting—and I believe they have been so acting—from a mistaken sense of duty. (Hear, hear.) But a mistaken sense of duty is a mistaken sense of duty; and when a mistake, especially a serious mistake, is made, it cannot but be matter of rejoicing that such a mistake should have been found, and received its appropriate correction. (Hear.) The Corporation Schools are now under the go vernment of a committee, upon which are found men— l know them to be such—who ' have the spiritual as well as the temporal interest of the children in those schools at heart. I rejoice also to say, that the Education Committee is under the presidency of a chairman who has the interests—the best interests—of the children of those schools at heart. (Renewed cheers.) And I will further venture—looking for the blessing of God upon their endeavours—upon the prediction that ere long they will be found (yes; they are found now) to work effectively for the real benefit of a vast multitude of children who shall receive instruction in them ; and that notwithstanding all the endeavours (and many en deavours have been made) to hinder their progress and impede their effective operation, the power and blessing of God will be found too strong for the enmity and the opposi tion of men. (Hear.) One remarkOnore I wish to be per mitted to make, in reference to a sentiment said to have been put forth by one, if not more, highly respectable individuals in relation to this question—individuals whose views in every other particular, which has come at least under my own notice, I have every reason to approve, and who, I think, have spoken as they have, only because they have not given the subject all the consideration they could and mi g ht give it. It has been reported that one gentleman has recently observed, that if our municipal body (I do not quote his own words, but I am giving the meaning of them) gave edu cation at all, it must be education based upon religion ; and that if it gave education based upon religion, it must be upon the Protestant religion ; it must be true religion; and, 'therefore, if we are to have corporation schools at all, they must be upon the principle which they are now conducted upon, which we believe to be correct; but that a preliminary question first required to be set tled, whether it was necessary for them to be an educating body at all? (Hear.) Now, if this question were to be answered in the negative, the great subject of dispute and controversy, which has occupied us so often in this place, would be taken out of the way. But I think, my Christian friends, you will be ready to bear when I say, that in such ar your testimonytotch the truth of the s en timent I am giving, a case the remedy would be worse than the disease. if because education, if given at all in our schools, must be given upon a certain religious system, and that certain system cannot be ation of £B6 s. 3d From the Second Edition of Grimstone's Weather Almanack for the Year 1842.

They have sworn that those principles are not retained. The Bishop of London, ex cathedra, surrounded by his clergy, in all the pomp and ceremony of his visitation, says they are retained. (Loud cheers.) Hear him further : " Nor are the differences between us, in essential matters, less at the present moment than they were in the time of Cranmer, or Jewell, or Taylor, or Hooper." Sir, we did not require any voucher to prove the truth of what we said. We knew it was true or we would not have said it. (Hear.) But we are sincerely thankful to have our conclusions ratified by such authority, because we rejoice in the unfeigned respect which Englishmen pay, and, we trust, ever . Will pay, to superior rank and station, as well as to superidretalents, and all these are eminently combined in the present Bishop of London; and moreover, we are anxious that those rev. gen tlemen to whoml took the liberty of alluding just now, and - who recoiled from our agitation, may be stirred up to a vigerous pefrormance of their duty as protesters by this ; (bear, hear)—you did not wait to hear by what they were to be stirred ap;—(laughter)—l would call it by this lthuriel sper of tho Metropolitan. (Cheers.) Now you will perceive from a slight indication of opposition in the meeting, and as you might have guessed frdm the extent of the quotation, that I did not read the entire of his lordship's charge. I did not, indeed ; and I shall perhaps be told that in the same charge he has expressed his decided disapprobation of public con troversial discussions. In this lam happy to have the sanc tion of his lordship's authority. (Hear.) I think that pub lic controversial discussions in these times are not likely to serve the interests of truth ; and, therefore, I have discounten anced them, preferring the press, where the closeness of grave arg umentation can be accurately followed up, but the obser vation now before us does not apply to meetings like the present, where there is no discussion, and where the argu ments being all on one side and previously thought of—for I hold the man worse than a fool who stands up es+ bout first thinking of what be. is, going to say ,‘ 'and I would have you, sir, and all my friends to know that have thought of what I have. said and whet I, ant going to say—(hear, , hear)—but I say. the observation does tint apply to such meetings as the present, where the arguments being all one side and previously thought 'of, may be given with the accuracy of writing, and also with the warmth, energy, and animation of speech. (Hear, hear.) But the statenten which we have made very often, and which I am very happy to find the Bishop of London has made now, 'in order, to be really valu able, ought to be practically influential. It ought to lead to something. Sir, lam sure that there is no man in England who would more sincerely than his lordship deprecate the cold, barren, inoperative admissions of truth ;. and, therefore, 1 feel that he, and all who agree witlnhiro, will perceive the impropriety of continuing to sanction a seminary wherein are taught the principles and practices, " unchanged, unmiti gated, unqualified," which rendered our protest against Rome indispensable. If those principles and those practices were wrong then, surely it must be wrong now to continue to sanction deliberate, systematic instruction in them. This brings me to the practical point already touched upon by yourself—l mean the College 14( Maynooth. I shall not at tempt to go into detail about any of the principles and prac tices taught in that college at present. I leave that in more competent hands; but 1 wish to offer a few,,9bservations on the turning point of defence now made for the continuance of Maynooth College. The arguments urged in defence of that seminary are not derived from any intrinsic excellence in the college itself, but from the fault of the institution. We are told it was founded when .Mr. Pitt was prime minister, and that the grant has, been continued under every administration since. This is true, as a matter of fact ; but it aupplies no sound groum] of defence, and for this simple, and, 1 think, very satisfactory •reason — that the principle, here involved is one which no human authority is competent to decide. (Hear, hear.) The force of this remark will be seen more clearly in the light of con trast. The principle involved in this question differs essentially from those modifications of our constitution in secular details concerning which human authority may properly conclude, and which may, and in many instances ought to, be acquiesced in even by men who did not originally approve of them. (Hear, hear.) For example, it is per fectly intelligible how it may be right, and wise, and prudent, for the right honourable baronet, at present at the head of her Majesty's government, to accept the Reform Bill and govern upon it, because it is passid, although it may have enacted many things of which he did not originally ap prove, and would have prevented, if possible. I can under stand, in every such case a fair calculation of comparative degrees of evil, and a wise and enlightened decision, that it is a lesser evil to abide by an existing institution, although in many respects defective, than to disturb the public mind and hazard a fresh issue by opening the questions. Such I con ceive to be the legitimate aspect in which all civil and secular arrangements should be viewed by practical and judicious men. (Hear, hear.) But the question involved in the Col lege of Maynooth is of a totally different character. It is neither civil nor secular, though it becomes so in its inevit able effects; but in itself it is strictly religious, And such I must repeat as no human authority is or ever can be compe tent to close. I should rather say that no human authority is properly competent to open it, because the revealed word of the Divine Lawgiver has closed it. To bow down to an image (a practice undeniably taught at Maynooth) is plainly and peremptorily forbidden by Almighty God himself. To do it, or to teach others to do it, is a sin ;—for sin is truly defined to be a transgression of the law. Sin does not consist in injury done to man, though it involves such injury : it con sists in disobedience to God. If, then, bowing to an image, and teaching man so, be not a sin, theft is no sin, and adul tery is no sin, and false witness is no sin. What would be thought of any class of men who would attempt to open these questions which the divine law has closed; and found a semi nary, the inmates of which were to be taught themselves, and instructed to teach others to steal, to commit adultery, and to bear false witness ? Would the matter be much improved bran attempt to hide a perversion of morals behind a per version of language, calling theft community of goods, and adultery reciprocity of affection,' and false witness liberty of speech ? And what would be thought of the human autho rity, legislative or executive, which countenanced such a seminary, and supported it with public funds? (Cheers.) And, where, I ask, is the real difference? Why should it he thought right, and moderate, and charitable, and Christian, to treat the second commandment in a way which would be denounced as infamous and intolerable to treat the 7th, Bth, or 9th commandment? Such partiality in dealing with the tables of the divine law, proves too plainly that no part of it is regarded with reference to God's authority (for then it would be all equally regarded), but only those parts which bear upon man's convenience, property, and character. Thus, the religious principle is wholly removed from the national morality; and nothing higher than the arbitrary and partial distinctions of human law can be consistently pleaded. Take the instance of a judge who-is known to practice, or to sanc tion the practice, or to defend the public encouragement and support of the practice of bowing to images. How can such a man, without a burning blush, rPfPr tn the name or law of. God, when addressing a murderer in the dock? Might not the culprit retort with frightful power—nay, nay, my lord, confine your observations to human law; if you had any real regard for the divine law, you would obey the second com mandment yourself, as you would have others to obey the sixth ? It is difficult, sir, to conceive to what an alarming extent the highest obligations of public morals are relaxed, by the exhibition of a government sanctioning the continued violation of any one of God's most holy laws ! Human power may, indeed, enforce its decisions, and disobedience to God may be carried on with a high hand, because the Almighty does not, for the present, interpose to vindicate His own law. But, sir, this is the worm at the root of the national ground ; and, although its withering influence be mercifully delayed, it is eventually inevitable. Meanwhile the question cannot be set at rest by any human enactment, in opposition to the divine law; the agitation of it must con tinue while there remains upon the earth one bold, and faithful, and consistent believer in revelation, (H ear, hear, and cheers.) We may approve of the proceedings of a government in things secular—in things v; high human authority may com petently decide either way : we may coincide with the general policy of a government, as it is our priviledge now to do with her Majesty's present ministers; we may admire highly the boldness and ability with which they have risen above the temporary palliatives of class legislation, and combined the arduous duties of national financial honesty and national commercial relief: we may fell thankful for their wisdom and moderation grid success in the management of, our fo reign relations in Europe and America, and we trust also in Asia. All this we may do, and do heartily; and yet in the higher questions of national religion and national education —when we see them supporting such iestitutions as Maynooth College and the National Board in Ireland, and adopting from their predecessors in office a very questionable educati onal principle in England—we may feel constrained to give utterance to the expression, first, of our deep concern, and then of our respectful but decided opposition. Our oppo sition may signify but little to them. Numerically consi dered is is indeed comparatively small, but the principle upon on which it rests is of the highest order, and cannot be safe ly neglected by any British statesman. In whatever light, however, it may appear' to them, it is to us, tq our charac ters, and to our happiness, of paramount importance. We would not willingly incur the guilt, before a higher tribunal, of not opposing unscriptural proceedings, by whomsoever conducted. But mark the difference. When we opposed such proceedings a few years ago, it was accompanied with the animating hope of a,change of administration, feeling that any change which the country would tolerate, must be for the better. Now, on the contrary, we feel that any change which the country would tolerate, must be for the worse; and we oppose these things, not in any hope or wish of any change in the government, but in the hope that the govern ment may make some change in these particular measures. " On resigning their trust into the hands of their consti tuents, at the termination of another year, the committee of the Liverpool Protestant Association feel that although hindered by misapprehension in some quarters, and exposed to obloquy and evil report in others, their labours have never theless been attended with many very beneficial results. The controversy between the Church of Rome and the Church of Christ is interminable ; as long as Rome is what she is, no real Christian can have peace, or truce, or even parley with her; and in proportion as any national church manifests a disposition to enter into a compromise with Rome, in the same proportion does that church cease to present the features of a Christian Church. I i" The experience of any man who is spiritually alive to the glory of God, and the salvation of his fellow creatures, must harmonize with that of:the Apostle at Athens, whose spirit was stirred within him when be beheld, not only the poor and ignorant, but the rich, the learned, the polished, the philosophic men of that renowned city, bowing in sense less idolatry before images of gold, and silver, and stone, engraven by art of man's device. " Is it Christian, your committee would respectfully ask, is it apostoiical, to see thousands of our fellow-creatures offending God anti ruining themselves, without an effort on our part to convert them from the error of their way, that the Lord may be glorified? "God forbid t." is the answer of every Protestant Christian. This is the great spring of Protestant exertion : this is the great principle of Protestant Association, which, moreover, has now for so long a time been continually canvassed, and so triumphantly established, that your committee cannot feel themselves otherwise than in the path of strict duty, so long as they labour in the work of exposing error and promoting truth. " The result of your committee's experience leads them to offer a suggestion, in addition to the usual operations of the association, which they have embodied into the third resolu tion, whereby provision will be made for the maintenance of font - Scripture readers, under the control of a clerical sub committee, t 6 labour amongst the Romish population of this town, and also to secure a monthly lecture in some of the churches, on the points of doctrine on which the churches of England and of Rome are at issue. From each of these, properly conducted, there is reason to expect much good would ensue. With such anticipations, built on past ex perience, your committee, looking back with humble grati tude, look forward also with dependent trust. At the com mencement of another year, they would animate each other with the encouraging remembrance, that if God be for us, who can he against us? " They enter upon the duties of the coming , year (for duties are ours, events belong to God) in the spirit and with the words of the psalmist, ' The Lord is my light and my salvation—whom shall I fear ? The Lord is the strength of my life—of whom,shall I be afraid ?' " Mr. C. S. PARKER, the treasurer, next read a statement of his accounts, from which it appeared, that after defraying the current expenses, there was a balance against the associ- Mr. JAMES PARKER moved the first resolution; and he commenced by observing that it would ill become him, sup ported as the Chairman was by many champions of the Pro testant cause, to occupy much of the time of the meeting by • •I any remarks of his own, but he could not propose the resolu tion be held in his hand without bearing his humble testi mony to the operation of the Liverpool Protestant Associa tion ; and he might be allowed to say that that association, and its offspring (if he might be allowed the expression), the Operative Protestant Association, had done more than any other class of the community towards bring- ing about those mighty changes the Chairman had referred to. (Hear, hear, and loud cheers.) On that all-important question—the school question—he gave credit to the Pro testant Association for arousing the feelings of the people ; and he would mention a fact respecting the Operative Pro testant Association highly creditable to them—that its mem bers, from their scanty earnings, had subscribed their pen nies per week in order that they might have a vote, to place those men in the Council who would maintain Protestant principles ; and he had no doubt but one hundred such votes would be recorded at the ensuing election, when he had no doubt the cause of truth would be as triumphant as it had been on the last occasion. (Loud applause.) Before he sat down, however, he begged to refer to a report which was abroad, and which had been reiterated by the press, that the reverend gentleman who sat before him (the Rev. H. M`Neile) was the prime dictator to the Conservatives in the Town-Council. (Hear and Cheers.) He begged to assure them and the meeting that the reverend gentleman had no more to do with his vote in the Council than had the Pope of Rome. (Cheers and loud laughter.) But he trusted there was not a conservative member of the Council who did not act under a dictator • and he hesitated not to say for himself he believed he could answer for the rest of the Conservative members, that they acted under the dictatorship of their own consciences. (Loud Cheers.) He begged to move that the report which had been read be adopted, printed, and circu lated under the sanction of the committee, and that the committee and other officers be requested to continue their services. _ _ . The Rev. HIIGEI M`NutLE rose to second the resolution amid loud cheers. When silence was restored he spoke as follows :—I rise, sir, to second the resolution which has just been submitted to the meeting by the honourable councillor. I am much obliged to him for his seasonable vindication. He has said truly, sir, I haie not dictated or attempted to dic tate to any one. But, sir, I have reasoned, and on the subject of Scriptural Education I must be permitted to say, that I have reasoned so conclusively, with so much instruction, and interest, and effect upon a large class of the population of this town, that those who have been compelled to feel the effect, and unab* to answer the arguments, are very naturally desirous to use any means in their power, however unscru pulous, to damage the advocacy. (Hear, hear, and cheers.) But, sir, it will not do. (Loud applause.) The intelligent readers of this town compare the arguments on the one side with the vituperation on the other. They act accordingly, and I hope they will continue to act accordingly. (Hear, hear.) The honourable councillor alluded to a topic which it had not been my intention to touch. I did not design to say anything about either the radical or the apostate portion of the public press of this town, on the principle, quaintly but very significantly expressed by a most reverend prelate of our church to one of his clergy, who was falsely ac cused by some low, disreputable people—" Let them alone," he said, " you must stoop for the stone that you throw at a cur." (Heat, hear, and laughter.) Sir, I would rather allow the cur to escape than condescend to stoop for the stone—(hear, hear, and continued laughter,)—although I might, perhaps, find a polished one, and might be able, from the sling of sincerity and truth, to ;peke it take dis comfiting effect among the host of the enemies of our Israel. (Cheers.) I forbear, however, sir, because I have no giant to aim at—but only petty men whose party cavillings serve but to attest the influence they fear, and to elevate the reputation which they envy. Sir, to return to our more ap propriate subject. I have much pleasure in being able.at this early siege of our proceedings to-day to plead in their sanc tion high episcopal authority. I do not allude to any of those right reverend ornaments of the bench, who, in the sixteenth century, protested against the corruptions of Rome with reformation and success, neither do I refer to any of their worthy successors i►► the high office in the following century, who went quietly to the Tower rather than submit to even Royal dictation in opposition to the revealed will of the King of Kings. Those all have indeed left us unequivocal sanction, and being dead, encourage us in our course ; but I refer to a living prelate, and I desire attention to the follow ing passage from the late Charge of the Bishop of London : " Let us not scruple to say of that church, [the Roman church,] not for her condemnation, but in our own vindica tion and defence, and for a warning to those who are in dan ger of being deceived by her delusive attractions, that she is in a state of schism, if not apostacy ; that she has forsaken the true faith and defiled herself with superstition and idolatry. And let us speak all the more plainly"—l like that language. (Laughter and cheers.)—" Let us speak all the more plainly, seeing that she again employs as her chosen defenders and emissaries a society of men hound together by a vow to uphold, by all methods and at all hazards, not christianity, but popery, and who, in accordance with that vow, have framed a society so hideous in its principles —so mischievous in its effects—that it well deserves to be de scribed as having embodied the very mystery of iniquity.' The Church of Rome has added to and defaced the aposto heal ' form of sound words'—has superseded the apostolical succession—has mutilated and corrupted the apostolical re cord. The character of the church itself is not altered by that of a few or many of its individual members, whose per sonal graces at once modify and recommend the principles which they embrace. There is scarcely any error of doctrine, however extravagant or fatal, which has not been held by eome persons of irreproachable conduct.—Against such a church we are bound"—[Mr. Chairman, I beg you will listen. It is not to me you are listening: it is the Bishop of London.) (Cheers)—" Against such a church we are bound continually to lift up the voice or solemn remonstrance, and, far from being ashamed of the name of Protestant,"—[That was a very hard blow] —(great cheers)—" and, far from being ashamed of the name of Protestant, we ought to show that a sincere and immoveable attachment to the Anglican Church in its constitution, discipline, authority, privileges, and offices, is perfectly compatible, or rather is itself a practical act of protestation against the errors and corruptions of the Papal Church; and surely the duty of so protesting is not to be lost sight of at a time when that church is openly asserting its pretensions amongst us, and affecting to look for the speedy return of our reformed church intb its maternal bosom. Its errors are not less opposed to the Gospel of truth and holiness now, than they were at the time of the 'Reforms,. It is, therefose, perfectly eDnsistent, ray, I k , true (tato sistenev makes it abFolotely indispensat.l - vv } "le ^" opposition in its essential principle remai the tone and manner •of it should be Johan ged,, the _..,,,ed altogether. Chas is my answer to the gibings ror inconsistency, with which we have been twitted because we will not speak of the present government as we did of the last. And as to perso nal promotion to wealth or dignity, which has been venomous ly insinuated as our secret motive of action, I answer first to the slanderer, and then to you my friends and brethren. To the slanderer, I say, by your peri'etual recurrence to the subject, you betray a bitter conviction that we deserve, and an ill-disguised fear that we may receive, promotion. 'fo you my friends and brethren, 1 say, we would rather deserve protnotjon without receiving it, than receive 'it without de serving if:" And as Clergymen of the Church of England, pledged protestors against the " blasphemous fables and dan gerous deceits'.' of Rome, as our article expresses it, we would deem ourselves, and ought to be deemed by others, wholly unde serving of.any encouragement of any kind. if we did not endeavour to redeem our solemn pledge, by " giving all faithful diligence to banish and drive away all erroneous and false doctriues contrary to God's word." (Great cheers.) Many topics press, especially our local education question, but I remember that on the present occasion I am but a pioneer opening the way for the main body which is now to follow. I therefore conclude, cordially seconding the reso lution, The rev. gentleman resumed his seat amid loud ap- plause. The CHAIRMAN, before putting the resolution, begged permission to correct art inadvertent error in his opening ad dress. He had spoken of the change of administration which had taken place as having occurred since the last meeting of the Association. This statement was not accurately correct. A change of administration had taken place a short time be fore, but the present administration entered upon the prac ticalexercise of their duties subsequently to the month of Oc tober last year. (Hear, hear.) The resolution was then put and carried unanimously. The Rev. R. J: ItiIiGHER then came forward, amidst most enthusiastic cheering from all parts of the assembly, to move the next resolution. The rev. gentleman spoke nearly as follows :—Mr. Chairman ; when I am permitted once more to open my lips in this sacred cause, I feel that the first ex pression which should fall from them, upon a public plat form, should be that of thanksgiving to Almighty God for his mercy in having restored to me the use of my voice; and of prayer that through His grace I may be enabled to use it this day in simplicity, in fidelity, and godly sincerity for his glory, and for the good of my fellow men. (Hear, bear.) I regret extremely that lam obliged, in the first in . stance, to apologise to this meeting, and to request their very kind and patient forbearance with me ; for I am suffer- . ing at this moment under that which persons who have felt it will know the meaning of when it is called " a splitting headache," so that really I am scarcely able to collect my thoughts—(hear hear,)—and if it were not that I had ar ranged my documents, so as to produce evidence upon the important subject for which we are convened before this assembly, I should be obliged to give up speaking altogether. (Hear.) But, I trust I may be able, at least, for a little time, to bring before them evidence which I feel, and which I know that they will feel, to be of vast importance ; and if I am obliged to stop before I finish it, I trust they will for give me for having so imperfectly intruded upon them. (Hear, hear.) I feel all that my reverend brother has said with regard to the importance of thinking before we speak. I have thought very carefully upon what I was to say ; but I must say, that from the state of my head, all that I had sr ranged, has completely vanished from my mind. lam quite unable to commence as I intended. (Hear.) I intended to have commenced with a brief review of the progress of Protestant associations in this country : I had intended to have expressed my deep regret, my deep grief, for the awful apathy, the criminal neglect of Protestant duty, which I mourn to say has been too lamentably exhibited in England. (Hear, hear, hear.) I intended to have given some reason for a resolution to which 1 myself have come. I am tired of producing evidence of facts that ought to convince the judgment, that ought to call forth the principle , that ought to awaken the energy of every man who has ..: judgment, principle, or energy in the land. (Hear.) I am • tired of hearing resolutions passed atfirmatory of the truth of those statements, and then when the excitement of the mw. ment has passed away, seeing all subside like some dark, cold, stagnant lake, over which a breeze had passed to ruffle the surface of it for a moment. (Hear.) Therefore 1 am determined, with the blessing of God, that if I am able to attend the meetings of Protestant Associations, I shall never be a party to passing nugatory resolutions ; I shall never attend a Protestant Association unless there are resolutions proposed to produce some certain practical results, and unless , there are men who are pledged, as Christian men, to carry those resolutions out into effect. Then something will be done for the cause of truth in England—(cheers) ; and there fore I took the liberty of writing in Christian fidelity to my brethren in Liverpool, when they did me the honour to sec me to attend this meeting, to tell them that I conceived that such meetings as this were rather injurious than serviceable to the cause of truth when they passed away without pro ducing any practical effects. (Hear, hear.) For, what must the enemies of truth say, when they see such important principles affirmed by the unanimous resolutions of such meetings as this, and see that nothing at all of comparative result is produced by such resolutions ? (Hear, hear.) • 1 , therefore told my reverend brethren , that unless some 01 them—l cared not how few or how many—would pledge themselves to use their exertions to get up petitions through out this town and neighbourhood against the College 0 1 Maynooth, 1 could not, although I was most anxious to assist them, come to this meeting. (Hear, hear.) They did me the honour to feel the importance of the statement ; and several of them further did me the honour to send to me a pledge to this effect, which you will permit me to read : " Liverpool, October 11, 1842. " Rev. and Dear Brother,—We, the undersigned, having considered the subject of your important and comprehensiv e letter, do accept thankfully your conditional offer to attend our annual meeting of the Liverpool Protestant Association , on the "26th instant ; and in compliance with your proposal , do hereby pledge ourselves to make the effort to get up peti tions to the imperial parliament, praying for enquiry into the principles inculcated in the class-books and standards of the Royal College. of Et. Patrick's, Maynooth. We are 0 1 opinion that the evidence in support of point No. 6, in Your form of petition, might be brought forward with a dvantage, by you at the meeting, unless you think som e other point of more importance, in which case we are ready to defer to your preference, and remain, reverend and dear brother, your's in the bonds of Christian fellowship and love." I sent to my rev. brethren, I should say, a petition , Or rather I should say I sent to them two petiiioni, which I had drawn out against the College of Maynooth, and which I requested they would carefully consider. One of these petitions is a petition from the Protestants, to investigate Maynooth inconsequence of certain facts which are alleged as charges in that'petition ; the other is a counter petition , a petition drawn for Roman Catholics who may wish to sign it—a petition drawn for liberals as they are called who maY choose to sign it : who assert that these charges are all ca lumnious. (Hear, hear.) We demand inquiry because these charges are true : they say they are false. Then let them demand inquiry to vindicate them from these charges. Jlear, hear, hear.) I sent these petitions to my rev. breth ren, and I told them if the") , would be so good as to specifY any particular item in that petition which they chose, I would prove it to this meeting—l would undertake to prove that item whatever it might be. (Cheers.) They have selected, as you have heard, one of those items, which I shall in due time proceed to prove ; but before that may I request Ye n will permit my dear and rev. brother, Mr. Nolan, to read the petition? Mr. NOLAN then read the petition, of which the following is a copy : __ o " PROTESTANT PETITION TO INVESTIGATE MAYNOOTO' " , " To the Knights Burgesses in the Commons' Hou se Parliament assembled—The Petition of the undersigne's Protestanti of " Humbly Sheweth,— " 1.
