At length, however, the startling declension from the principles of that constitution displayed by the Whig ministry of the Reformed Parliament, in their measures, rallied the scattered friends of the mo narchy and the established institutions of the coun try. Still looked up to as able and honest, Sir Ro bert Peel wormed himself, by new professions, into Conservative party—a thing of his own creation— an emascul ited and heartless substitute for the old Tory party—Sir Robert battled manfully and long for the overthrow of the Whig-radical incubus which had fastened itself, and was fattening, upon the vi tals of England's prosperity and greatness. That party raised him to power. It placed him at the head of government, with an amount of parliamen tary strennth nerfertiv imassAnhlp_ HP was in n position to build up the shattered buttresses of the enemies had made in its battlements—to strengthen the foundations of the throne, the church, and the liberties of his country.

This is and must be the course of the loyal Pro testants of England—the only course. We may be told that it will be fraught with danger to the esta blished—alas ! we should say the remaining—insti tutions of the country. We reply that no danger can arise greater than is to be feared from the con tinuance in office and power of the present faithless party. We may have held up to us the frightful picture, painted in dark distempered colours, of a new era of Whig domination. We dare look that picture in the face. It is the false friend whose wound ever rankles most sorely in our flesh. It was the dagger of. Brutus which reached the mighty heart of Caesar. We can look without fear upon the possible establishment of a Whig ministry; for we know that there is a spirit abroad in the land, and only wanting an occasion to call it forth to action, which will palsy the hand which may be raised to injure fatally any portion of what is left us of the British constitution. We are content, then, to abjure Sir Robert Peel and Conservatism, and to rely upon England, upon the Truth, and upon GOD who is over all. The pressure upon our space this day incapaci tes us from giving, at the length which we could have wished, a report of the proceedings of the Liverpool Licensed Victuallers' Protection Society on Friday last.

IMPORTANT MEETING AT THE LAST-NAMED TOWN. Yesterday, a highly respectable meeting of the land owners, tradesmen, and inhabitants generally, of Orms kirk and its vicinity, was held at the town-hall, " to take into consideration the various railway projects of the district as affecting the town and neighbourhood, and to devise such means as might be thought expedient for ob taining the most efficient railway accommodation for the town, and to adopt such steps as might be thought ne cessary for opposing those projects which might be deemed injurious." A requisition to the Constable of Ormskirk. Mr. Richard Martlew, requesting him to call the meeting for these purposes (and with which he immediately com plied), was signed by the following gentlemen :—R. Bur chall, Robt. Wareing, Joseph Richardson* Edw. Hough ton, Thomas Kershaw, W. G. Tilsley, john Robinson, 'Wm. Owen, A. B. Goss, John Rosson, R. M. Marsden, William H. Garside, William Leak, Thomas Nuttall, Thos. Baxendale, Henry Bromley, Joseph Stoner, John Fairhurst, John Bennett, John Arnold, T. M. Ashton, Jas. Culshaw, Hugh Owen, Jas. Palmer, Joseph Lyon, John Armstrong, Thos. Smithson Harper, John Owen, R. Ha, kness, Thos. Brandreth, Wm. Johnson, Thomas Kershaw Junior, Henry Mawdsley, William Welsby, William Swift, Thomas Hall, Wm. Evans, P. MacMester, Robert Wareing, M. Harrison, John Martin. Amongst those present were—W. G. Unsworth, Esq., of Maghull ; Joseph Lion, Esq., of Aughton ; James Culshaw, Esq., mineral surveyor; John Rosson, Esq.. of Moore Hall ; Thomas Kershaw, Esq., chemist, &c.; Longton, Esq., Southport ; W. Welsy, Esq., Orms kirk ; James Palmer, Esq., solicitor ; Joseph Lyon, Esq., Rose Hill ; John Fairhurst, Esq.; the Rev. T. S. Har per, W. Leak, Esq. Mr. MARTLEW, constable of the town, was called to the chair, and the requisition being read, Mr. PALMER rose to move the first resolution, which with the others will be found in our advertising columns. He stated that he had no individual interest in the direct line which they had met to support, not being a share holder, and he therefore gave his opinion without bias, excepting for the general interests of the locality to which he was attached. He held in his band a printed letter which had become public property, but which, he con ceived betrayed a bad and unfair feeling towards them. It assumed much, and its facts were in reality falsehoods. It set forth that the traffic on the North Union Line would produce an income of £22,000 annually. It stated that 45,000 passengers went by it; but the writer omitted altogether to state what number might come by the di rect Ormskirk line, and not on the line of the writer of that letter. No fewer than 38,000 passengers came from Liverpool to Ormskirk, and if the direct line was con structed, it was easy to see which would have the pre ponderance. There were also 1,500 tons of goods by Ormskirk which they entirely omitted; and there were, moreover 13,000 tons that went from Liverpool to the Rib ble, which would certainly not fall into the N. Union line. He felt assured that, in place of merely 1500 tons of goods from Liverpool alone, they would, were the direct line immediately constructed, have, including Southport and the neighbourhood, generally 8500 tons; and he had do cuments to prove it. There was another melancholy statement which their opponents had put forth. They had called our direct line " a hopeless project—a wild scheme," &c., and that it militated against existing inte rests. What was meant by existing interests ? Here we proposed a direct line from Liverpool to Preston, with a saving of twelve miles of distance, and numerous advan tages to the districts through which it passed. And why had the North Union coupled themselves with the Man chester, and Bolton, and other lines, to form an amalga mation, but for self-interest, to our injury? They consi dered Ormskirk as nothing—to be kicked, in fact, out of the market. if the line wished for by those present were so contemptuous, why all this pains to knock it on the head ? So far from being contemptuous, the kind of op position which it had excited showed the value of prose cuting it. (Cheers.) Ormskirk must yet rise. He re membered Preston when it had but one factory (Mr. Horrocks's,) and that it was then generally thought would be a failure. Now, what was it ? A flourishing manufacturing town ! Ormskirk had even greater advan tages. It had abundance of coal which Preston had not in its vicinity. It had abundance of water, which in Preston had to be brought from a distance of 12 miles. In Ormskirk too, and its neighbourhood, there was a population able and ready to commence manufacturing operations. And why should they not? Former at tempts bad been made, but the town did not then present th 9. same advantages, an d the parties who made these attempts were almost bankrupts to begin with. There could exist no question but that manufactures would succeed. The probability was that a great traffic would rise on a direct line between their town and Pres ton, and enter Liverpool—in hay, straw, and especially potatoes, of the last of which immense quantities were grown in their neighbourhood, many thousand bushels of which were conveyed even into Yorkshire. The canals did not offer the same regularity of transit as a direct rail way, for 'they were tedious and frequently frozen up. `Anth the direct railroad they would have immediate traf -1 Preston, Blackburn, and Alpo— _ Liverpool, 4 .- other ports by rapid conveyance, while to reach some of them by canals might occasionally occupy three weeks. Much of the traffic would, in fact, necessarily go by their line of railway—which would be but about 15 minutes from Liverpool, or little more, and twenty-five minutes from Preston, by the railway. As regarded the coaches, those passing from or coming to Ormakirk or Preston, could only go very early in the morning, or very late at night. By the direct railway they would have the oppor tunity of going several times a-day.

Need we call to memory the consequences, first to himself and—alas !—more fatally, to his country, which followed that act of glaring, inexcusable, wil ful treachery ? Oxford rejected the apostate minis ter from her bosom. The theatre of his academical triumphs—his alma mater—spurned her unworthy son. Proteatant England showered contempt upon the head of the betrayer, his colleagues, and the ma ority which aided him in both houses. All confi- public duty obliged to t of opir H ou se Yet only two years " History," we were told years ago by the mo dern school of philosophy, " is an old almanack." The recorded experience of the past was an incon venient book of reference for presuming and shal low theorists ; and it was, therefore, denounced as behind the march of intellect : as a musty collection of stale facts, only fit to be thrown into the lumber room and forgotten. The philosophy of the present day, however, goes even further than to discard, as inappropriate, the lessons of history. Liberalism, in its ultra and quasi-infidel form, as well as in its new guise of mock Conservatism, discards the re vealed Word of God himself, as " an old almanack," unworthy to be quoted in its councils, unfit to he looked upon as the guide of legislation ; and the lessons, the warnings and the teachings of its di vine author as things only to be regarded, as of au thority or value in the regulation of our 'mundane affairs, by bigots and fanatics. In this enlightened age our statesmanship has shaken off at once the leading strings of past human experience and the light of divine wisdom.

Again, apd again, during that discussion, supporters of the measure have risen to deprecate the introduction of religious arguments or scriptural considerations into a political question. Human expediency, justice, consideration for the opinions of our fellow men who differ from us in religious faith, the imperative necessity of fulfilling alleged national contracts: all these have been urged and refuted, night by night, with all the fervor of parliamentary eloquence and all the power of parliamentary ability. But the pos sibility of acting in defiance of the divine will, and of drawing down upon the nation the divine dis pleasure. has been sedulously scouted as beside the question—as a matter not placed at issue—a thing beneath the sublime consideration of statesmen. Religion, virtually exclaim our senators, is a matter for the closet ; it has nothing to do withi the affairs of nations. As individual men we are bound to de fer to the will of God, putting our own construction upon it, and moulding it after our own caprices ; as Sept. 6 a nation we have nothing to do with religion !

Hugh M`Neile, delivered in the he 7th ult., a copy of which is now Might to be treasured by every faith ful British Protestant, that we shall not attempt to strengthen the arguments therein advanced—we might rather weaken their effect, so convincingly and lucidly are they laid down—by any comment of our own. We confine ourselves exclusively to the fact, to, which we have already ad erted, and which Mr. M‘Neile rightly declares, that upon no occa sion ,have.the opponents of the endowment of May nooth been met in their opposition upon scriptural grounds. Upon no occasion has it been attempted to be shewn that encouragement to Popery is other than offensive to God. On the contrary this fea- une 11 klusic-hal Lure of the question has teen seauiousiy suunnea. It is felt to be dangerous matter to touch upon; and the confession is virtually thus made—for there is ability enough on the ministerial side of the house to argue it on religious grounds, if it were tenable on such—that the affirmation of the ques ti-n involved in the endowment of Maynooth is a direct offering up of the religious faith of the na tion upon the altar of expediency—the prostration of the Protestantism of the empire before the feet of Rome How can we escape this conclusion ? How can we throw from us this degradation ? We were a Protestant nation ; our hierarchy was Protestant ; our institutions were Protestant ; we were wedded to a Protestant Established Church. Yet, in the face of all these ties imposed upon us—in the teeth of consistency, and of our national convictions of truth—we have divorced our legislation from Protes tantism, and from the Bible itself ! And all this upon the weak ground of expediency, upon the cowardly urging of abject and degrading FEAR ! A " small cloud " was seen rising in the Western horizon; an insolent threat broke from the lips of the demagogue president of the slave-holding and repudiating model republic; and England—once "mighty England"— frighted from her propriety, forgetful of her mighty power, threw down the sheet anchor of her liberties —her Protestantism—and resigned in terror the noble Tnission for which she seemed to have been destined by God, and gifted, for the purpose, with all but universal dominion—the task of spreading to the ends of the earth and the breadth thereof, the undiminished and undiluted light of his word !

How we have been put in possession of the following interesting facts we do not intend to explain, further than that they are the result of a newly-discovered mes meric faculty, called by the discoverer prcevoyance, which will render the almanac-makers' trade a profitless one, and . doaway entirely with the necessity of parliamentary professions. 1846.

The Speech from the Throne directed her Ma jesty's two houses to take into consideration the special disabilities imposed upan the Sovereign by the Act of Settlement, and, in particular, the clause which imposes forfeiture of the Crown as the penalty of professing the Popish religion. In the debate on the address, Sir Robert Peel an nounced the intention of Ministers to bring in a measure to reveal this unjust and penal interfer ence with the royal conscience.

After noticing in terms of the deepest gratitude the expressions of kindness which have been sent to his Grace, in consequence of his recent letters the noble Duke proceeds as follows : " It must appear to you that the present struggle is made to be a contest between the Parliament and the people.
