CRICKET.—We understand that the Richmond Hill Cricket Club meet for the first time this season on Thurs day, Ist of May next, on their ground, Richmond Hill, Everton. CONCERTS AT THE PARTHENON.—We were induced on Saturday night to visit this elegant place of entertain ment, and must in justice express our opinion of the great talent and taste displayed throughout the performance. It would be perfectly supererogatory to criticise the talents of Mrs. Hiles, one of the fair cantatrices. We can only say we were never more delighted than in the execution of two songs allotted to her, " Bid me discourse," and " Tell me my heart," compositions perhaps a little worn from being more frequently mutilated than rendered melli fluous, but always possessing a fresh charm when heard from such an accomplished artiste ; nor can we withold a merited eulogium to the charming accompanist, who seemed perfectly mistress of her instrument, from the facility and consummate taste which characterized her performance. The voice of Mrs. Lloyd is purely con tralto, and, if it were developed and confined to songs of that character, would increase in volume and effect. Mr. Robinson, the tenor, acquitted himself transcendently well in the duet with Mrs. Hiles, " When thy bosom." The voices, from being nicely balanced, told very well, and could not have been more sweetly in unison. The raptu rous acknowl dgment of the auditory was a sufficient gua rantee of its excellence. If more publicity had been given to this entertainment, we were told that the room would have been crowded ; but still, sufficient were there to give promise of future success. We could say more in compliment to our Liverpool artistes in the duet from of knowledge, and the excit e - Norma and " I know a bank, &c.," but the pre dry, in reference to this impor- upon our space must be our apology THE CONVICT HocKEß.—The condemned sermon was preached before this unhappy man, on Sunday morning, in Newgate. The following disgusting particulars of his demeanour are given in the Morning Herald, yester day :—" After a delay of a few seconds Rocker entered, accompanied by the deputy governor of the prison and an assistant turnkey. It might be called a theatrical move- The ease and self-possession which the convict exhibited as he advanced to his seat evidently surprised those of the congregation who had never before seen him, and he seated himself on a chair facing the altar, and at the end of the chapel opposite to that which Connor oc cupied. He was very particular in fixing his chair and the hassock which had been placed for his use, so as to enable him to make a display. He exhibited, in fact, a perfect consciousness that he was " the observed of all observers," and had to all appearance made up his mind to represent in this the last but one scene of his existence the character which he has been performing since his ap prehension. His person did not seem to be in any degree changed since his condemnation. His costume was pre cisely the same now : he was scrupulously parti cular in the arrangement of his hair. Shortly after his entrance he spoke to Mr. Cope, who, at his request, di rected one of the attendants in the chapel to bring in a ss of water. He received the glass from the hand of the 'Lan with a bow, and plueetritb , ;l;i; side." We much query whether a great portion of the incentive to these offensive displays would not be removed if the press would refrain from chronicling their absurdities. What brings reporters to witness such scenes except a desire to truckle to and profit by the morbid curiosity of a class of readers, who would, with as great unction, enjoy a re hearsal of the murder itself, for which the law is called upon to unsheath the sword ?

AN IRISH BUSTLE DISCOVERED IN THE POLICE COURT, ON SATURDAY LAST.-Mr. Evans, of the parish office, preferred a complaint, on Saturday, before Mr. Rushton, on behalf of a young woman, who appeared to be in an advanced state of pregnancy, against a young man, named George Eccles. It appeared that the young woman had followed Eccles from Belfast, and on her ar rival iu Liverpool she was informed that Eccles was about to depart for America, and in order to prevent his going away she stated that about six months ago she bad been married to Eccles by a priest, in Belfast; that she was in an advanced state of pregnancy ; and, that the prisoner had left her destitute. After she had made her state ment, the prisoner was called on to state his defence. The prisoner's brother, a very respectable-looking man, stated that the prisoner had been taken before a discarded priest in a state of intoxication, and married to the complainant; that the marriage was illegal; that the complainant had made three charges of a similar nature against persons in Belfast. and that she always had the appearance of being pregnant, but she never yet was delivered of a child ; that she was a common prostitute, well-known at Belfast ; and that if Mr. Rushton would order her to be examined, he had no doubt that his worship would be perfectly satis fied. On this Mr. Rushton ordered her to be examined by the matron in bridewell, and, on being examined, it was discovered that she had made herself a very large bustle, and instead of placing it in the usual place behind her, sbe had put it to the front, io order to deceive the court. Mr. Rushton ordered the prisoner to be discharged from custody, and rebuked the female for having at tempted to father the rags, of which the Irish bustle was composed, on the prisoner. THE LIVERPOOL STANDARD But again : corded their opinions that, to he perfect, the measure ought to be carried out by a robbery of those funds with which she has been endowed by our pious fore fathers ? The proverb about those who live in glass houses should really have presented itself to the mind of our contemporary before he permitted himself to taunt a body of consistent men with a sin, of which his own pet statesmen are so especially guilty. The gross inconsistencies, into which men are driven in the attempt to gloss over a bad cause, ought to he a warning to them to refrain from the perilous task. If they have bartered long-cherished principles for any consideration ; if they have swerved from the professions of a long and honour able career; if they have stooped to the degrada tion of swallowing nauseous doctrines and adopting repulsive measures, because gilded by official pay and sweetened by the possession of place and power,—let them not attempt to blind the world to the truth of their position, or hesitate to proclaim aloud even their own apostacy. There is safety and honesty in the truth ; contempt only follows the jusuitical effort to wriggle out of its avowal. We have been struck with the correctness of this opinion by the perusal of an article in Saturday's Morning Herald, which, we presume, we may with safety set down as the organ of Sir Robert Peel's Government. Our contemporary and his patrons accepted the aid of the member for Sheffield and his Whig-Radical friends, on the occasion of the second reading of the Maynooth Bill, without even a shrug or a grimace of repugnance. Liberalism was then all that was great, good, and enlightened. The Minister smiled approvingly upon his new bevy of friends; the Ministerial journalist patted them on the head as patterns of public virtue and lofty principle. But, having helped the Government over the first horn of their dilemma, and enabled them to inflict a heavy blow upon the feelings of the Protestant majority of the nation, Liberalism, by its support of Mr. Ward's motion, has exposed to the world the strange ingredients of the majority which supported the Premier in his crusade against the Established Church of the realm ; and Liberal ism is now a very naughty and a very unclean thing, quite wrong in its philosophy, and totally , unlearned in the matter about which it has pre sumed to lift its voice. Hear how the Ministeri I Herald cuts up the ground: upon which—let the fact be borne in mind—one-half of the majority for the second reading of the Maynooth Bill recorded their votes in favour of that measure : " Equally mistaken, though not equally brilliant, is the popular hypothesis cf the Wards, and Roebucks, and Macaulays. Their only idea of a Church seems to be a sort of machine for fabricating " religion," and which is rendered necessary only by " public opinion." The peo ple have a prejudice in favour of keeping up " a religion," and out of deference to this prejudice, some sort of " re ligion " ought to be kept up. But the only rule these gentlemen seem to be able to conceive for the selection of this said " religion," is the popular fashion, or preva lent opinion. Whatever ism can secure the majority of votes, is to be preferred to the first place. If Presby terianism has the larger amount of suffrage, then Presby terianism is to be " the Church ; " if Episcopacy gets the most votes, then Episcopacy must be established; if Popery is the favourite, then Popery is to bear sway. By the very terms in which they assert this principle, it is clear, that if Socinianism or Socialism were but the fash ion for a sufficient time, it would follow that the nation ought to have a Socinian or Socialist establishment." May we ask of our contemporary to inform us, and the world,—Which are the most consistent of the two parties—these infidel statesmen (the expres sion is his own) or the Conservatives who propose to endow Popery ? The former, who regard the keeping up of some sort of religion as a concession to the national prejudices, can consistently say, " The Irish Roman Catholics are seven millions ; therefore, support their Church from the funds of the State :" upon precisely the same grounds the latter, who profess that there is such a thing as a true Church, say, " Endow Popery, which we be lieve to be gross error and superstition !" If Ire land ever comes to be Socinian or Socialist, upon the same grounds urged by our contemporary and the Ministerial supporters of this measure, Conser vative as well as Whig-Radical, " it would follow that the nation ought to have a Socialist establish ment"—that justice and expediency will compel us to endow a college for the better education of Soci nian or Socialist ministers. For the life of us we cannot imagine by what jesuitical windings our contemporary can get rid of the damaging nature of his own peevish arguments, addressed to his temporary allies. _ _ But a more conclusive condemnation of the prin ciple contained in the Ministerial Bill is contained in the following paragraph. Contending against the argument adduced by the Liberals, that by our countenance to the Church of Scotland we are pre cluded from objecting to support other creeds, he says : "The Church of England and the Church of Scotland are identical in their faith and the object of worship. But the Socinian takes away some essential articles from the faith ; and the Romanist adds many. The one worships a mere man—a fiction of his own creation—one whom he does not believe to be God over all, blessed for ever,' and the Romanist worships amere woman, whom he calls the Queen of Heaven,' and a crowd of Other dead men and women, who can neither hear nor answer prayer ; and to whom, nevertheless, he addresses his u.eless peti tions,—to the practical disregard of the God of heaven and earth. Now to treat such perversions as these as on a level with the faith of the Bible, is nothing more than a species of disguised infidelity. If the Bible be the Word of Gon, then is the Romanist or the Socinian in serious danger. If the Bible be not true, then let us have done with all national churches, and let those who want ' religion,' invent it, and pray for it, each after his own fashion." _ _ _ Why, this is precisely the view which we, as Pro testants, take of the endowment of Maynooth. We thus endow a religion whose observances are " in practical disregard of the God of heaven and earth." As a Christian State, we are placing such a religion " on a level with the faith of the Bible ;" and we perfectly agree with the Ministerial organ—and hope that his patrons will digest the admission com fortably—that such a course of policy " is nothing more than a species of disguised infidelity !" Most heartily we thank our contemporary for the admis sion. "To any one who properly appreciates the reality and the value of revealed truth, it must ever be unspeakably disgusting to hear questions of religious faith decided by an appeal to numbers." It is disgusting ; yet upon what better grounds is the endowment of Maynooth advocated by its Ministerial supporters ? None better, certainly, unless the ground of fear be better. We are com mitting this " unspeakably disgusting" sacrifice of religious principle and national consistency because —Sir Robert Peel is our authority—there is a cloud rising in the west which menaces war with the United States. We are hoping to bind the dis affected Papists of Ireland to our side in the im pending contest by the endowment of a religion, which we know to be heretical and perilous to the souls of men ! If it is " unspeakably disgusting" in men who regard religion as a thing only to be kept up in deference to a silly national prejudice, and whose form may be shaped according to " po pular fashion or prevalent opinion," to offer as the ground of concession the numbers of those to whom concession is made ; it is far more disgusting—it is cowardly and base—to offer as a plea our fear of Irish disaffection. The concluding passage of this article is, how ever, such an extraordinary one, coming from such a quarter, that we cannot, without difficulty, believe that the writer, whilst penning it, has not been bemused with the idea that he was supporting a Government which had never made shipwreck of Protestantism, or forfeited its consistency, by pro posing to carry a measure affecting the established religion of the realm by the aid of the sworn ene mies of that established religion. We give it entire as a curiosity : " It is a pitiable sight to see a number of men, many of them filled with good intentions, striving to legislate in the dark ! They have forgotten to prepare themselves for their arduous duties, by ascertaining, as they ought to have done, some one fundamental principle; as a start ing point or secure basis. Hence, in their distress for some semblance of a doctrine or rule of right, they catch hold of this arithmetical argument, and fancy that a ques tion in theology may be decided by rule of three or long division ! And all who plainly tell them that truth is the only safe guide, and that truth was never so ascertained, they al once accuse of " bigotry " and " fanaticism," and resolutely maintain, that nothing can be more con venient than to determine doctrines by the assistance of the census, and to proportion creeds to the density of the population ! " Certainly we could never have flattered ourselves with the ability to say anything so severely reflect ing upon the Ministerial policy as these remarks of their advocate, of whom we heartily wish them joy. We tell them that "truth is the only safe guide" in legislation. Alas ! why are they about to shut their eyes to this principle, and to endow and pamper DANGEROUS ERROR ?

TUESDAY MORNING, APRIL 22, 1845. It is with no little pain that we find ourselves, upon an important part of the policy of Sir Robert Peel's administration, in a posture of opposition not only to that administration, but to some of our own Conservative friends and fellow-townsmen. We are told that the success of such an opposition would be fatal to the ministry ; and that failing in success, the result of persevering in it must be an excitement of the public mind, which will tend to break up the Conservative party, and to bring back the Whigs to the possession of office and power. Ireland herself, too, in the event of the defeat of the Maynooth bill, would he thrown, it is said, into a ferment of dissatisfaction, if not even into insurrection • and this, too, at a time when the possibility of a collision with the United States may render it an object of the last importance to have that portion of the United Kingdom firmly united, and in harmonious feeling with Great Bri tain. We owe to those of our Conservative friends, with whom we may unfortunately differ in the course which we are pursuing, and to our own character, some explanation of the grounds upon which we have taken up our position, which we shall at once proceed to furnish. In the first place, we must premise that we do not regard this proposed endowment of Maynooth as a solitary measure, or one which can be final. We cannot, as sane men, look back upon the con cessions of the last fifty years and say that we can stop here. We cannot, when so many past boons to Popery have failed to proc nre us peace, flatter ourselves that this boon can effect so desirable a consummation. On the contrary, we look upon the endowment of Maynooth as only another step in that baneful course of truckling and time-serving legislation, by which we have, year by year, been weakening the buttresses of the Established Church in Ireland, alienating the feelings of her Protestant population—whose loyalty alone has preserved that country to the British Crown—and preparing for the erection there of a Popish domination which cannot co-exist with the maintenance, in its entire ness and strength, of this great empire. We ask of any candid man, who will look forward a very few years, whether the tendency of our present legisla tio❑ is not towards such an issue,—whether this is not a giant step in advance. We ask such a man to look around him, to convas the sentiments, with regard to the Church of Ireland, of the parties who are leagued with Sir Robert Peel to inflict this heavy blow upon her head. How many years of existence do such men as Mr. Ward, Lord Howick, Mr. Roebuck, and their Whig-radical allies, con template for that Church ? Few indeed. Already we have a State provision for the Romish clergy of Ireland meeting us upon the threshold of the next session of Parliament ; and when Protestant Eng land can be brought to swallow that bitter pill ; when she can consent to tax herself for the mainte nance in Ireland of an army of the emissaries of Rome, it will be but a step further to allow her to sweep out of that country every vestige of her ex isting Protestant Establishment. We regard, then, the question between Govern ment and the country as one involving the whole issue of the establishment of Popery in Ireland upon the ruins of her Protestant Church. It is paltering with the truth to regard it as one involving merely the degree of support which we offer to the carrying out of the ambitious views of Rome. That great apostacy aims at the subjugation of Ireland for her self. She seeks her as the pivot of the lever, with which she hopes to move the great antagonistic Church of England from its position and its power; and she is pursuing her object with all that astute adaptation of the means to the end which has for ages enabled her to hold so many millions of man kind in the darkness of a despotism more fearful than the world ever saw. With such convictions, we cannot hesitate for a moment as to the course which, as consistent Englishmen and Protestants, we feel bound to pur sue with respect to the measure now before Parlia ment. We say, unhesitatingly, that we must take our stand here and now, at all hazards. We say, moreover, that resistance is less pregnant with danger now than it will become if we procrastinate. You may dam up and divert the rivulet, but the river must flow on to the sea. You may arrest the handful of snow in its fall; but the avalanche will laugh at your efforts to stay its destructive career. But we are perilling, by our opposition, the exist ence of Sir Robert Peel's Government. Be it so ! We have not taken up our present position without calculating its consequences. We acknowledge the amount of benefit which the Government of the Right Honourable Baroyiet has conferred upon his country. We acknowledge the ability with which he has extricated us from the complicated embar rassments of Whig misrule, and placed the com merce and the finances of the country in a healthy and even a prosperous condition. We have gladly accorded him our humble support of the measures by which such a result has been brought about ; and the very excellence of those measures aggravates the regret with which we see such a Minister mak ing shipwreck of himself, his party, and his country. We say, making shipwreck of himself; for, if the result of the opposition offered to his present mea sures be fraught with the downfall of his Ministry, as the result, upon his own head be the calamity which may attend such downfall ! From what parter was such a total apostacy from principle as is involved in the endowment of this Jesuit Col lege of Maynooth called for ? Ireland never hoped for it; Great Britain abhors and protests against it; the world, at its announcement, recoiled in amaze ment. It is not, therefore, the Protestant opposi tion to the endowment of Popery which is perilling Sir Robert Peel's Administration, but the blindness of that statesman to the experience of the past, and his regardlesseess of the deep-seated feelings of the Protestant people of Great Britain. But the question is, can we, acknowledging the full amount of Sir Robert Peel's efficiency as a Minister, and grateful as we are for the benefits which he has conferred upon his country, consent to purchase those benefits at the vast price de manded from us, by the sacrifice—for we repeat, this is what is demanded from us—of the Protes tant security of the empire. We cannot bring our selves to make that sacrifice. And, if we are told that there is danger in the refusal, from whatever source that danger may approach us, we say, let it come now, when we have something that we love to contend for, rather than wait until all is lost that we revered—all those institutions strewn in ruins which our forefathers cemented with their blood, and left to us, as sacred legacies, to be defended as the citadels of England's greatness and the world's liberties. The following, amongst other reasons, are ad duced by a Conservative contemporary, for his acquiescence in the proposed national endowment of the Popish College of Maynooth . . . . "We have said that we refrain from entering into the present controversy, and our reasons we shall endeavour to make manifest. The coalition of parties is so startling —the ingredients of the present opposition are of such a character—that we cannot understand how the combina tion can be productive of anything but evil to the Church, and a triumph to its avowed and mortal enemies. We have taken the pains to string together certain names. which we are ashamed to see in juxta -position—we mean in the division on the second reading of the Maynooth bill—and we ask our readers to tell us what the Church, what can morality or religion expect from this medley of names, which we submit to their calm deliberation ?" Our contemporary then proceeds to give his list of " Evangelical Conservatives" and " Radical De structives" who have voted together in opposition to the measure, and whose concurrence " cannot but be productive of evil to the Church and a triumph to its open and avowed enemies." Now, we take this to be rather tender ground for a Ministerialist to touch upon. Just thirty " Radi cal Destructives" voted with the Protestant mino rity against the second reading. This was the ex tent of the startling coalition of parties which has struck our contemporary dumb. But 165 of the same " Radical Destructives" voted with the 160 Conservatives and placetnen who supported the bill ! The Church-hating backers of the Ministry actually outnumbered their Conservative allies. Is there nothing " startling" in this coalition ? Can a measure be productive of anything but evil to the Church which is actually being carried through its second reading by a majority, the bulk of whom professedly regard that Church—or the Irish branch of it—as a " nuisance," and who have already re- Hugh M`Neile to Mr. Roebuck, the member for Bath, and Mr. Ward, M.P. for Sheffield, in reply to some flippant comments made by them, in the House of Commons, upon a passage of his speech at the recent meeting at the Liverpool Amphi theatre. The crushing which these two very small personages have received at the hands 3f the Rev. Incumbent of St. Jude's will, we dare say, not be without its effect upon themselves. It will, we trust, however, have an additional good effect nearer home; and teach some of those persons who are disposed to sneer down truth, and to set worldly expediency above the commands of the Most High, to weigh well the imperative nature of those com mands against which they are presumptuously setting themselves. TO JOHN A. ROEBUCK, ESQ., M.P., AND HENRY G. WARD, ESQ. M.P. SlRS,—Ridicule is cheap : the weapon of little minds. Scoffiing is easy : the ebullition of bad hearts. Reason and argument are more becoming in senators. In your public capacity as senators you have thought proper:to in troduce my name into the House of Commons, and to cite, though incorrectly, a passage from a speech of mine. In so doing, you succeeded, doubtless, in exciting some polite merriment, but we look in vain for anything ap proaching to argument in refutation of what I said. What I said was, that " the Word of God forbids bow ing down to images, as explicitly as it forbids theft or adultery. And consequently, that as we could not (with out wilful rebellion against God's authority,) approve of, or co-operate in, the endowment of a college for instruc tion in theft or adultery, so neither can we approve of, or co-operate in, the endowment of a college for instruction in bowing down to images." In defence of such a line of argument I refer to an in spired logician. The apostle James makes this startling statement : " Whosoever shall keep the whole law, and yet offend in one point, he is guilty of all ;" and he assigns the reason of it thus : "For HE THAT SAID, do not com mit adultery, SAID ALSO, do not kill. Now, if thou com mit no adultery, yet if thou kill, thou art become a trans gressor of the law." The apostle estimates transgression, not by its quantity, but by the principle of its opposition to the authority of the great lawgiver. "He that said, said also !" This is my argument. He that said,—Thou shalt not steal, said also,—Thou shalt not bow down to images. Now, if you do not steal, or teach men so ; yet if you do bow down to images, or teach men so, you are guilty of wilful rebellion against God's authority. Now, gentlemen, as you have yourselves selected this statement of mine for citation in Parliament, and cannot therefore consistently turn away from it as unworthy of your notice, I think I have a right to require of you a reasonable refutation of it, if you can supply such. But I venture to prophecy that as you found it convenient to raise a laugh by a garbled quotation of my speech, you will find it convenient to pay no attention to my letter. Yet this is not patriotic in you ; for if you can fairly refute my arguments, you will convert me, and many thousands with me, to your opinions. It is quite possible that you may not be disposed to defer, as I do, to the paramount authority of the inspired volume, and that the apostle's statement will fare no bet ter in your hands than mine has done. I am content to be condemned in such company, and rejoice in the assur ance that you will be egregiously disappointed if you ex pect the people of England to go along with you in any practical " contempt of God's holy word and command ment." Allow me, then, to call your attention to another pas sage in the same speech, reminding you before you read it, of what the Scottish bard well said, when cautioning his friend against evil companionship,— " An Atheist laugh's a poor exchange For Deity offended." " It is easy to laugh at all this as the fanaticism of a diseased fancy. It is easy for the fashionable sceptic to turn away, with a shrug of ill-dissembled impatience or contempt, from what seems to him such puritanical vul garity. It is easy for the statesman, who takes nothing into his calculation but human probabilities, and who really worships nothing but human sagacity, to persevere in thinking and deciding and acting, as if there were no God. Still it remains not the less true, that Jehovah reigns, the supreme and jealous Ruler over all ; not ex cepting the minds and lives of the me n w h o neglct Him, and upon the loftiest, proudest, and most powerful of whom, He has but to speak the word to bring idiotcy, despair, or death."—Speech, p. 11. I am far from insensible to the difficulty of eoverning the United Kingdom on scriptural principles ; b but I see that difficulty vastly increased by every fresh departure from those principles, and then I see every additional difficulty pleaded as a ground for some additional depart ure. It seems a dangerous course; and those who think it is so, and conscientiously reiterate their warnings and protests at every step, are entitled to something better than "Atheist laughs" in return. Come then, gentlemen. grapple fairly with the single argument contained in this letter. Disprove, if you can, the fact that bowing down to images is a part of the in struction given in the College of Maynooth. Laugh if you will, but reason. Laugh if you will, but refute if you can ; and if you cannot refute, be ashamed of the flippancy with which you can drag forward and hold up to ridicule a scriptural argument which you have not the ability to answer. I have the honour to be, gentlemen, Your obedient servant, HUGH M`NEILE. Liverpool, 25M April, 1845. ENERGETIC PROCEEDINGS OF THE CENTRAL ANTI-MAYNOOTH COMMITTEE IN LON- DON This Body, of which Sir Culling Eardley Smith is Chairman, have issued circulars throughout the country intimating that the time is not yet past for successful op position being offered to this measure, and inviting all denominations of Protestants to co-operate with them. The committee state that on Wednesday the 30th April there should assemble in London deputations from every town in the kingdom, in the first place for the purpose of vindicating their petitions, which the Premier has shown a disposition to slight as uninfluential ; in the second place to exert their influence over their several represen tatives, and to hold ooe or two meetings in conference in order to bring to bear upon the Ministry and Parliament the aggregate sense of the country in opposition to the measure. The first of these is announced for the 30th instant, (to-morrow.) The committee announce that they have other plans of Constitutional and Christian opposi tion in reserve, in allusion to which they say ;—" We do not overlook the influence which the addresses of the people may have, at the right moment, on the mind of our gracious Sovereign. It may become our duty to pe tition the Throne to dissolve the Parliament. In such a case, we hope to be prepared for the crisis. Give us, then, Brother Protestants, your confidence and co-operation, and, by the blessing of God, the triumph will yet be ours." REPRESENTATION OF WOODSTOCK. — The vacancy created by the retirement of the Marquis of Blandford from the representation of this borough, supposed to be through the objection of bis noble father to his recent vote in favor of the Maynooth Bill, is about to be filled up by the election of Lord Loftus to the seat. A very success ful canvas has been instituted on his behalf, and no oppo sition appears likely to be offered. Lord Loftus, in his address, states that his principles are firmly in support of Church and State, and opposed to the grant to May nooth. A COMPLIMENT TO CONSERVATIVE CONSISTENCY.— It is truly a creditable fact that the only petition emanat ing from this town in favour of Sir Robert Peel's May nooth Bill has been based upon the resolutions of the meeting of Roman Catholics held in London, of which the Earl of Arundel was chairman ; and that it has been left for signature at the office of the the popish Mercury and the shops of the Roman Catholic booksellers ! Sir Robert Peel will, we hope, make a flourish on its pre sentation. It will be a splendid document when put to gether, exhibiting as nice an assortment of marksmen, Whigs, Radicals, and pseudo Conservatives, as ever were tacked together. We hope to be able to publish the do cument. GREAT MEETING OF CHURCHMEN IN MANCHESTER ON THE SU BJECT OF THE MAYNOOTH BILL—On Tues day evening last, an aggregate meeting of the churchmen of Manchester, who are opposed to the increased grant to Maynooth, was held in the large room of the Town-hall, the Rev. C. D. Wray, the sub-dean, in the chair. On the platform we observed most of the leading clergy of the town and neighbaurhood, with a number of the influential laity. The body of the room was densely and most respectably filled, and the proceedings throughout were characterised by the most anxious attention to the various speakers. The meeting was addressed by the Rev. Chair man, the Rev. J. Huntingdon. rector of St. John's, the Rev. J. Magrath, the Rev. J. Irvine, (Liverpool,) and others, and resolutions, concluding with a memorial to the Queen to dissolve the present Parliament, were passed by acclamation. The meeting, which was one of the most enthusiastic we ever attended. broke up about half-past ten o'clock. THE BISHOP OF CHESTER AND THE MAYNOOTH GRANT.—What the Bishop of Chester stated in the House of Lords relative to this grant, was, by some mis take of the reporters for the press, misrepresented in the London papers, so that the inference was that his lordship was not opp , sed to the measure. The Rev. H. M'Neile, however, at a recent Protestant meeting at our Music hall, cleared up the matter by reading a document deny. ing the words and their purport ascribed to the Right Rev. Bishop ; and we have since received the following extract from the correct report in the Record, which sets the matter entirely and satisfactorily at rest :—" Petitions against any further grant to Maynooth were presented by the Bishop of London, from certain parishes in the city of London, * * * * and by the Bishop of Chester from various places. The latter Right Rev. Prelate said—' I am aware of the difficulties with which any government must contend in the administration of the affairs of Ireland, and I would make every concession to my Roman Catholic fellow-subjects which did not in fringe on a sound principle. On this ground, I gave al most the first vote which I was called upon to record in your lordships' house, in favour of the Roman Catholic Relief Bill. Many reasons concurred in rendering the measure undesirable; but it did not appear to violate any immutable principle, and therefore it was a measure of conciliation, in which I was ready to concur. The case is very different with the subject of the petitions which I now hold in my hand, and [entirely agree with the prayer of the petitioners. To teach what we profess to be erro neous, to support by publie means what we know and have declared to be dangerous, is a solecism in govern ment to which I trust this house will never consent—a violation of religious duty in which I can never take a share.'
