.'• • .: pig Row 1414ow,eaunirytnett are grievoualy abused, and tho t helongs of right to a great Protestant community, like mire, to have compassion on them, and to endeavour to rescue them from this thraldom. (Cheers.) More than this; there is a matter that will touch the temporalities of our poor peo ple, and be felt more as a privation than either of the two I have named. I boldly charge the Romish Church with de priving our poor fellow-countrymen of their lawful weekly wages. What are the lawful weekly wages of a labouring man in any country ? Complying with the commandment of God, which says, " Six days shalt thou labour, and do all that thou hest to do :" the lawful weekly wages of a labour ing man are wages for six days' labour. Are the poor Roman Catholics allowed to work six days ? Nay, verily. They are not allowed to work on the saints' days. Their priests will not allow them. There is, indeed, a measure of discretion. You have heard something from the chairman about discre tion. The priests know how to he discreet. The saints' days are very numerous. It depends upon the priests how many are observed. In England the number is very small. Many in this place may know of Roman Catholic labourers who are allowed to work six days. They know what they are about, and where to forget the saints. (A. laugh.) In other countries, where is not the same politic reason for forgetting dead saints, in order to keep well with living men, they do enforce the observance of the saints' days. The working of it in Ireland is frightful, and tends in a great measure to keep the poor people in abject penury. Festival after festival, g roups of labourers are to be seen about the villages and public-houses, idling all the day through. They may not work. And if you ask them why, their only an swer is, " The priest forbids it." " What saint is it ?" "I do not know. They cannot even name the saint they are honouring by idleness. (Hear.) Themselves very ill provided, their families but one remove from starvation, work may be ready from some private employer, or the contractor for some public undertaking. But they must not work. 0, this is a heavy burden ! 1 might appeal to your feelings and those of the community—l might de scribe a poor family in distress—l might set before you the hungry children screaming for food—their anguished mother has none to give them—l might represent the self-denial of that mother, refraining from the sustenance required for her self and her infant, to divide the more among the elder ob jects of her love—l might call your attention to the father of that family turning away from that hovel where the sight of his distressed wife and children sends pangs to his affection ate heart—turning away and dashing with his finger the start ing tear that bedews his manly cheek,—l tell you that another half-bushel of potatoes would supply them the week through —that the man is able to earn the price—that his Protestant neighbour is willing to employ him that he might earn it— but no—the priest says no—you must not do it. (Much ap plause.) To be a faithful servant of the church you must be adamant, you must be iron, to all the tender feelings of hu manity. (Much applause.) Oh, sir, the priest does not know what a husband's heart is. He may indeed be a father, but he cannot know the honour able cherished feelings of a father warm in his heart, by the thoughts of his child. He has no wife. He has no feeling either for wife or for child. Hekeeps the poor man starving from his wages, from honourable employment, from his work upon saints' days ; while trembling and famishing ; he shows the tyranny of his church, and by the mockery of the system he keeps the people slaves. Oh, sir, it is worse than mockery to call this an affair of conscience, of religious opinions, and to repudiate interference upon the ground that religious scruples should be respected. It is not a matter of religious opinions ; it is a matter of irreligious practice. (Hear.) As well might you respect the liberty of a fraudulent gamester, so long as he could succeed in deceiving and defrauding wil ling dupes. We shall be told by our liberals, " these people are willing to act as they are bid by their priests—they are willing to refrain from their labour, and why do you inter fere ? Who can believe it—that a man such as I have de scribed, the father of that family, is willing to be idle? (Hear.) No ; he is willing to work ; he loves his family ; he desires to provide for their sustenance. He w o ul d a thou sand times rather toil all day, and carry home the happy supply, than idle about and go home at night to cries of misery that rend his heart. But he has a tyrant over him ; he has a tyranny, an iron tyranny that grinds him down, and which will not allow his affection to his wife and children to be practically present in hi§ life, but which keeps him in re membrance of the galling yoke of his church, even whilst his poor family arc screaming with destitution in his ears, or thrown out a nuisance upon the neighbours, begging from door to door, because their father who was able to provide for them if he wrought six days in the week, was kept by his priest two or three and sometimes as many as four days a week, in honour of the saint's memory, from turning a spade or doing a hand's turn at work. (Hear.) Oh, sir, this is frightful : (Hear) Is not this tyranny? Is not this a case for interference ? Well did Mr. Stowell ask why we inter fered upon behaltof the negro, why we interfered to rescue the poor slave from the grip of his task-master? An African expedition is now preparing to leave this port to interfere between the African chiefs and the poor slaves they were ready to sell, and the barterers who were ready to buy. And why ? Because it is a righteous interference ; because humanity claims it at our hands, because it is a lawful in - terference, that when one man is trampled upon by another, we should step in with wisely regulated laws, restrictive upon one side and protective upon the other, to save the wretched and to restrain the oppressor. (Hear.) Here is one of the things you have to complain of. Here is one of the things I wish to press upon the minds of this great community—that these saint-days, these hindrances of the popish priests pre venting the poor people from getting their lawful weekly wages, is a point intelligible by every man. Here is no the ological speculation, no doubtful matter, no references to old books, but a matter that will teach Englishmen, and I trust in God will make them feel or say that some effort is to be made to rescue our Roman Catholic countrymen from the thraldom of their priesthood. (Hear.) But there is more still. Not only are they hindered from earning what they might and ought to earn, but a large proportion of what the do earn is taken from them by fraudulent pretences. (Hear.) I charge the Romish priesthood with depriving our poor Ro man Catholic fellow-countrymen of a large portion of their scanty earnings by fraudulent pretences. And what are those pretences? They pretend they can get the souls of their fathers, mothers, grandfathers, grandmothers, uncles, aunts, great grandfathers, and I do not know who, out of the fire. (Hear. hear.) They make the people pay for their masses for this purpose, (Hear.) I have here a very curi ous tract. It contains au article originally published in the Church of England Quarterly Review, being the review of a book entitled—" The Church of Rome's Traffic in Pardons," written by Archdeacon Hodson, and the reviewer gives some curious extracts from Romish books upon the subjects of pardons and massess. " Nothing is given," says the re viewer, "in the Roman Court but for cash." The original words are here taken from Eneas Sylvius, who was himself a Pope. (Hear.) " Nihil est quod absque argento Romania curia dedat. Nam et ipsie mantis impositiones et Spiritus Sancti dona venduntur. Nec peccatorum venia nisi numma tis impenditur."—Nothing to be had without cash ! (Hear, hear.) There is another very remarkable testimony quoted in this tract from Cardinal Cajetan which has a strange sound —" Tantum donant quantum sonant." Their value is to be measured by their sound. (Hear, hear.) That requires some little explanation. because we have money now that can be given without noise. Paper money does not sound ; but when this was written there were only the oboli, the denarii, the sestercii, and the soldicii, all good hard coins ; and when large sums of money are put down in hard coin, it tells—tantum donant, quantum sonant." (Hear, hear.) 1 have good hope that good will come of this, be cause this was the very thing that roused the flames that burst forth in the reformation. (Cheers.) I will now read a passage from a bull of the famous Pope Leo, entrusted to Tetzel, of celebrated memory, to sell, and the sale of which roused the lion-spirit of Martin Luther. (Hear.) " May our Lord Jesus Christ have mercy upon thee, and absolve thee by his most holy passion,- and I, by his autho rity, and that of his blessed apostles Peter and Paul, and of the most holy Pope, granted and committed to me in these parts, do absolve thee, first, from all ecclesiastical censures, in whatever manner they have been incurred ; and, then, from all thy sins, transgressions, and excesses, how enormous soever they may be : even from such as are reserved for the cognizance of the Holy See ; and as far as the keys of the holy church extend, I remit to you all punishment which you deserve in purgatory on their account, and I restore you to the holy sacraments of the church, to the unity of the faithful, and to that innocence and purity which you posses sed at baptism ; so that, when you die, the gates of punish ment shall be shut, and the gates of the paradise of delight shall be opened; and if you shall not die at present, this grace shall remain in full force when you are at the point of death. In the name of the Father, and of the Son, and of the Holy Ghost." This wag the document which Tetzel went about selling in Germany. Here is a more modern one, sold in my own na tive land, to be found in the Ist volume of the State Trials, page 461, and produced before the Court of King's Bench, upon the trial of Connor, Lord Maguire, on the 10th Febru ary, 1644 : Ad l uturum Rei Memo r i um U r b anus Octaves, Sec. It recites, that having taken into his serious consideration the great zeal of the Irish towards the propagating of the Catholic faith •, which kingdom (for their singular fervency in the true worship of God) was of old called the Land of Saints : and having certain notice, that in imitation of their godly and worthy ancestors, they endeavoured by force of arms to de liver their thrilled nation from the oppressions of the heretics, and to extirpate those workers of iniquity, who had infected the mass of catholic purity with the pestiferous leaven of their heretical contagion, by virtue of his power of binding and loosing, which God had conferred upon him ; to all and every the aforesaid Christians in the kingdom of Ireland, so long as they should militate against the said heretics and other ene mies of the catholic faith, he did grant a full and plenary in dulgence, and absolute remission of their sins, desiring all of them to be partakers of this precious treasure ; dated from the Vatican, or St. Peter's Palace in Rome, May 25, 1643, and in the twentieth year of his pontificate.' " These things are still acted upon. I want now to show you the rules of one of the societies established with regard to these indulgencies. There are Purgatory Societies, and these are not far off. I have a paper, which I will read just now, a transcript of the rules of one of these societies, now in full operation in Liverpool : " PURGATORIAN SOCIETY, INSTITUTED JULY IST, 1813, AND HELD IN SAINT JAMES'S CHAPEL. In the name of the Father, and of the Son, and of the Holy Ghost. Amen. It is therefor e a holy and wholesome thought to pray for the dead, and they may be loosed from their sins.' Maccabees, chap. xii. ver. 46. THE members who compose the society of the office for'the dead, commenced on the above day, at the said place, adopting the spirit and meaning of the above sacred text, and wishing, in conformity to the divine precepts of the Holy Catholic Church, to extend their charitable views beyond the grav e, by relieving, as f ar as i n t h em l i es, the suffering souls in purgatory, and inviting all tender-hearted Catholics, who have a feeling sensibility of the duty they owe their departed parents, relations, and friends, who probably may stand more in need of their commiseration at present, than at any period of their life time, to assist in the charitable and pious purpose of shortening the du ration of their sufferings by the most easy means imaginable, have agreed to, and adopted the following rules : The rules are long, and I need not read them all ; but I will show you some of the " easy means they have adopted : Rule 1. That the affairs of this institution shall be regu lated by the Superior, Rectors, and six of the members who compose the office for the dead, who shall attend on every Wednesday night, at half-past eight o'clock, throughout the year, at the above named place, or any other place which may be hereafter appointed,. and there, with attention and devo tion, recite the office for the dead, agreeable to the intention that shall then be mentioned. 2. That every well-disposed C a th o lic, wishing to contribute to the relief of the suffering souls in purgatory, shall pay one penny per week, which shall be appropriated to the pro curing of masses to be offered up f or the repose of the souls of the deceased parents, relations, and friends of all the sub scribers to the institution in particular, and the faithful d e parted in general. 3. That on the first Monday of every month, a mass will be offered up in the parish chapel of St. James, at ten o'clock, for the spiritual and temporal welfare of the subscribers of this society. 4. That the Superior, Rectors, and Council shall continue in office for six calendar months, at the expiration of which time, candidates shall be nominated by the persons in office, who shall g i v e due notice to the w hole body of members who compose the office for the dead, that th ey may punctu ally attend on the first Wednesday night in July, at half-past eight o'clock, and on the first Wednesday night in January, for the purpose of electing a Superior, Rectors, and Council, to serve the ensuing six months, and so in succession. 5. That each subscriber, on entering this society, do pur chase a copy of these rules, in order to defray the expenses incurred by printing and other contingencies, and that the money arising from the weekly subscriptions shall be dis posed of to the most necessitated clergymen, who 0411 be retoirett to give rgaipts for what they as paid. , That the spiritual benefits of this institution shall conferred in the following manlier, viz. Each subscriber shall be entitled to an office at the time of their death, ano ther at the expiration of a month, and one at the end of twelve months after their decease ; also, the benefit of masses which shall be procured to be offered, by the money arising from subscriptions, and which shall be extended to their pa rents, relations, and friends, in the following order : that is to say, their fathers, mothers, brothers, sisters, uncles, aunts, and if married, husbands, wives, and children, if they have any departed who lived to maturity. 7. That every member of the office for the dead, who serves the society in the capacity of Superior, shall, at the time of his death, be entitled to three masses, to be offered for the repose of his soul ; and, also, every member who serves the office of Rector, shall be entitled to the benefit of two masses, and every subscriber, without distinction, shall be entitled to the benefit of one mass each, provided that such member or subscriber shall die a natural death, be six months a subscriber to the institution, and be clear of all dues at the time of their departure ; that care shall be taken, by the surviving Superior and Rectors, that such soul masses are punctually obtained, agreeable to the interest and mean ing of this institution. 8. That the Superior, Rectors, and Council, be empowered to make (as occasion may require) such bye-laws as they shall think expedient, provided they do not interfere with the spirit of these rules ; said bye-laws are to be laid before the body at large, for their approbation, and that four shall form a quorum on the council. 9. That the Superior shall, on every All-Souls'-Day, ad vance to the parish priest of James's-street chapel, whatever sum is necessary for obtaining an insertion in the mortality list of the altar, the names of the parents, relations, and friends, of all the subscribers to this institution, to be re commended to the prayers of the congregation at every mass throughout the year. Subscriptions received, and subscribers registered at the chapel, on every Wednesdsy evening, from seven o'clock until nine, and in the school-room adjoining the chapel, on the first Sunday of February, May, August, and November, being quarterly days, from ten o'clock until one. The books to be opened for the inspection of subscribers, price Three-pence." These are some of the rules of a society established some years ago in Dublin, and still in operation there. There is a place in this town called " St. Mary's Chapel." There is a great advertisement going about now, inviting subscriptions for the rebuilding of St. Mary's after a manner suitable for the Catholic church. At St. Mary's, then, they are making great e ff orts to get money. A friend of mine saw a label hanging upon the inside of the rails, and he went in and co pied it. He assures me this is a verbatim copy of the label, and with your permission I will read it St. Mary's Society. " Of the Altar. " ' What shall I render to the Lord for all the things that he hath rendered to me.'—Ps. 115. " Nothing contributes more effectually to promote piety, and command the respect due to the house of God than the solemnity of divine worship, and the beauty and decency of the temple in which the Majesty of Heaven dwelleth. " To answer these ends, by procuring for the chapel of St. Mary's, suitable vestments, abbs, chalices, and every other reeuisite, is the laudable object of this society. "Each member will subscribe sixpence per month." Now there is no objection to this ' • there is no objection to their procuring for the chapel of St. Mary's suitable vest ments, abbs, chalices, and to have other requisite decencies for carrying on public worship : that is a thing done with open eyes, and it is what we ask our people to do, but now comes the false pretences. "In return for their pious exertions and liberalities; a mass will be offered on the first Thursday of every month, for the members of the society, and a sacrifice will be offered by each of the priests of St. Mary's, for the repose of the soul of any deceased member. " Two ladies of the committee will attend in the vestry to receive new subscribers every Sunday, after the last mass and evening service. " Donations in money or materials serviceable for the altar will be thankfully received. " All subscribers and benefactors to the society will be gratefully remembered in the sacrifice of the mass. " President, Rev. Richard Croft—Treasurer, Rev. James Wilkinson—Committee, Miss Bradshaw, Miss Dearden, Miss H. Dearden, Miss Anne Dugdale, Miss Haskayne, Miss Johnson, Miss Jump, Miss Moss , Miss Newton, Miss Pulford, Miss Shepherd, Miss Water worth!' And so it is going on here. Now unless these men can show that there is some return for the money paid, unless they can prove value received, I do not know whether our courts of justice would not take cognizance of them. I am not sure that an action would not hold against them if we could get one of these poor men to give evidence. unless they could prove he had received a return for it. What is the return for their money ? (Hear.) Is there any value received ? (Cries of no, no.) It is said that the value received is masses said for the souls of deceased members. This involves the question of their whole system of masses. Now where does the word of God give any countenance to that system ? No where. The whole thing is got up for the purpose of making money—" tantnm donant quantum sonant "—(cheers)—they are withdrawing the hard earned pittances of our poor Ro man catholic brethren by fraudulent pretences. (Cheers.) I lately heard a very curious story with regard to St. Mary's Chapel and the proposal to rebuild it. What lam going to tell you is unwritten tradition. " Tantum donant quantum sonant." Having told you it is unwritten tranition and there fore about as much to be relied on as any other sort of tra dition, I will tell you the story. This same St. Mary's, it seems, as the advertisement tells us, was built in times of persecution, and it is altogether unfitted for the purpose for which it is now designed ; but it turns out upon enquiry, ac cording to tradition, it was then rebuilt. (Hear.) And upon enquiry how came it down, and why it had to be rebuilt, the history of it comes out. (Hear, hear.) In the beginning of the French war there was a frigate built in Liverpool. Un happily, on her first voyage, before she had got through the channel, she fell in with a French man of war and she was taken. The news came of the frigate having been taken, and the people were in great distress about it ,• but it seems ac cording to tradition that not all were in distress, for some parties connected with St. Mary's Chapel, got a model of the French man of war, and set it up as a token of triumph over the heretical frigate. (Hear, hear.) The tradition proceeds that this circumstance got wind in the good old town—not so big then as it is now by half—and the people of the good old town, who were not so well instructed in " toleration " as they are now, hearing of the model of the Frenchman being stuck up in the chapel, surrounded it, and when they found such an insult to their country within it, tradition says they set to work and demolished the chapel down to the ground (Loud cheers.) Now, Mr. Chairman, I am as far as any man in Liverpool from vouching for the truth of tradition. I know that I am happy enough to have you as a coadjutor in that opinion, and that we place very little reliance indeed upon unwritten tradition. However, it is worth what it is worth, and if it revives a little of the good old British spirit of loyalty in these perilous times, when we know not how soon our country may be involved in the awful and unspeakable terrors of war, it will have done good, (Loud cheers.) But we do not make war with stone and lime • we do not make war with carnal weapons ; we do not Pull down Romish chapels ; we do not use brick bats, and bludgeons, and crow bars, but we do make war and fall down upon Romish doctrine, upon Romish intolerance, upon Romish tyranny, against Romish abuses of every kind, and with what ? With the glorious brightness of the Gospel of the grace of God. (Immense applause.) Sir, this is the rallying point at this time. Our enemies have stolen a march upon our great men. You have heard how they deceived that great man Mr. Pitt. Mr. Pitt was a great statesman, but he did not understand Van Espa, Cardinal Cajetan, Thomas Aquinas and the rest of them, half so much as Mr. M'Ghee does, and he was de luded by the answers he received from the foreign universities. (Loud cheers.) The statesmen of the present day are de luded, The Roman Catholics still carry on the delusion. It is the fashion with our young statesmen of the prasent day to take statements, and not to investigate the Popish controversy. One came down here and astonished us by his wondrous eloquence—l mean Mr. Canning—be, too, carried on the delusion. He was a man of the greatest liberality, but he did not know the Popish controversy. He was a great statesman, but a very poor theologian. Our present statesmen left their colleges unpledged in these matters ; they have not been instructed in the deep things of the word of God, nor the deep dark designes of Popery. (Hear, hear.) They were certainly instructed in the history of their country, but they read only part of it with effect. (Hear, hear.) They were instructed in the great things of antiquity, into the minute of the histories of ancient Greece and Rome • but in this one point, the papacy was more than a match, for she stole a march upon them. (Hear, hear.) They gained admission in high places, and they carried their point—at least •they thought they had carried their point. They thought to have carried the people as well as the ministry with them. They did get some of the clergy of the church upon their side. That was a grand step. If they could have got the clergy of the Church of England among them, they would have damaged the whole structure of our constitution. They hoped to lay the country bare before them, but what stopped them ? What was it that stopped that pro gress which had being going on for years before and for a little while after the year 1829 ? What has checked it? It is still indeed going on among high places, it is still going on among the great ones : they are getting inte the council chamber and the treasury, but what has arested their progress among the people ? What has made England stand for it, for she is beginning to stand for it ? (Cheers.) It is the gospel of the grace of God that has done it. (Cheers.) It is the lin gering power of the holy gospel in the hearts of some of her true presbytery—it is the protest we have raised. (Cheers.) A very few we were at first. There were some who pro claimed that England's protest against popery would be Eng land's shield—who declared that when she withdrew her pro test she would have the battle to fight half naked. We told this to the people—we toiled for a long time without any per ceptible effect, but we have now the reward of our labours, for wherever we erect our standard, and wherever our poor unworthy names are mentioned, the largest house in the town is not lage enough to hold the people that come. (Loud cheers.) Our rulers are beginning to feel this. First of all they called us—although Exeter Hall bad not precedence in this matter—Exeter Hall madmen. Had the movement stopped there they would have continued to laugh at it ; but behold, some more of this feeling sprung up in Liverpool (Cheers.) When we began, the Music Hall was big enough ; ' and only the other night, on Monday week, hundreds went away unable to get in here—the Amphitheatre. (Loud cheers.) And indeed, whenever we throw open this place, let it be at a time when the poor men are free from work, when the honest Protestant labourer—who would work six days a week according to God's commandment—can come, and the place is filled. I was delighted the other night to see some of the operatives' wives here, with infants in their arms, enjoying the Protestantism which delighted their ears. I rejoice to tell you that this feeling which is spreading throughout this town is not confined to this town. (Hear.) I suppose if it were only in Exeter Hall and Liverpool, our rulers would sneer and repose, and take very little practical notice ; but I believe another fire has broken out in Manchester. (Loud cheers.) I remember when I first spoke to my reverend and beloved namesake about this matter he had some doubts— not about the propriety but about the practicability of doing it right; and I shall never forget the day he first tried. He tried a mid-day meeting—he was afraid of an evening meeting —a mid-day meeting of all other places in the Corn Ex change ; so delighted was he with the tone of the opera tives upon and since that occasion, that be became bolder ; and now when Protestantism is the object, he dares open the greatest room in the town—they then flock round him in hundreds and in thousands, and now I should say my dear frie n d i s t h e most powerful man in Manchester. (Loud cheers.) But this is not all. (Hear, hear.) I suppose if the Protestant feeling had been confined to Exeter-hall, and Liverpool and Manchest er , our rulers would have gone on dozing quietly as usua l ; that they would have said " these manufacturers are gone mad—do not mind them." But, lo ! another and another fire broke out—one in Bristol, another in Bath, another in Hereford. (Loud cheers.) No wonder Dr. Murray calls us factious firebrands. We have been agi tators for Protestantism throughout England. We have ani mated the country ; we have had meetings in Glasgow, Edin burgh, York, Newcastle, Hull, and next week, if all be well, I shall be at Norwich. (Loud cheers.) Here it is, north and south, east and west ; and I protest that I think the Pro testant tone, which is rising in these large towns, is so irnportance;'' pun gent, that even the liberal papers cannot keep clear of it. (Cheers.) I / have heard that some of their fri,e,nldfsyoaadvise moved too. no ticethemt not he ra y t o o u , notice w r t e t t h h e e m se in m to egias c i ue ty_tla but somehow or other they cannot let them alone. (Cheers.) People will open this Aanmdpthihetnhetahterye aret h e T co h m e e fa , e a t n i d s t w he he to n w w n e i s o (Cheers.) They will not be quiet—nor do we intend to let them be quiet—(cheers)—and when this spreads through the kingdom, here is a Protestant train laid for the fifth of. No vember. (Cheers.) There was a train of a very different kind laid on the fifth of November some years ago ; we are , sofa to let the remizahrange of that twilit ,his sway, Om, ors wee are preparing ourselves, 11ke well-discipline ll aolilicFgr to have a great explosion on that day, (Cheers,) These are things that make even drowsy premiers start upon their couch. (Cheers and laughter.) These are things that are strengthening the Protestant Operatives of England—these are things that are carrying the pledge proposed by Mr. _AV Ghee—a noble proposal to separate the hierarchy from the people, to give every man an opportunity, who loves truth and honesty and loyalty, and who hates persecution and in tolerance, an opportunity of saying, " I will take that pledge, for these principles are not in me." (Cheers.) I can under stand a Roman Catholic gentleman saying, " Did I think those principles are held by our priests, would forsake them.' " They are," is the reply. " Prove it," he says. " They are in the books, your priests are sworn to." " In deed, are these the articles my priest has sworn to ?" " Yes." Here, then, enquiry was set on foot. I can readily under stand a man like this acting upon enquiry—he will say, " If the priest is bound to these principles, he and I will be two." The priests are aware of this, and when they are put upon their trial, they do not hesitate to deny their principles. When brought into court the other day. and asked whether certain penances were imposed by their church, most simply one of them answered, " I have no knowledge of it"—" not to the best of my knowledge"—and " I know nothing about it." (Hear, hear.) He absolutely denied that such things belonged to his church. Oh ! I had better take care what I say. (Laughter.) " Examined by Mr. Noggins.—Accord ing to the discipline and practice of Roman Catholic worship, has any individual priest authority to impose that penalty upon any sinner?—Answer.—He had no such power." Good news for Roman Catholics ! (Cheers.) But instead of tak ing it so, when I read these answers of this man—" Is there any power in your church, in any of the functionaries of your church, to impose penance by crawling upon the ground?— Answer-1 know of none"—l protest I feel disposed to con gratulate the Rev. James Crook upon his renunciation of Popery. (Cheers.) Why, Mr. Stowell, this man is not a Papist. (Continued cheers.) Which will you have ? If he is a real son of the church, his answer, upon cross-examina tion, is what I choose not to describe. If his answer is what I delight to think it is—the real truth—then he has flung the church behind him. (Cheers.) He is no longer a Papist. (Continued cheers.) We cannot call the Rev. James Crook a Papist. He has renounced Popery ; and here is his recan tation. (Loud cheers.) Send it abroad, throughout the world, that the Rev. James Crook is a convert. (Renewed cheers.) Do you not see how the principles of this test would split the Papacy in two ? It would separate the man who detested such principles from the men who are imposing them. But how are we to get it ? (Hear.) Petition parlia ment? What is a petition good for? Mr. M'Ghee says, " get your members to support your petitions." Very well; but how are we to get members that will support it ? lf you say we have them already in this town, first of all I say, " take care you keep them"—(loud cheers) ;—and, secondly, if you ask, " how are they to he had in other towns ?"—I protest, sir, I believe, without canvassing a vote, without speaking to any single man of the community about how he is to vote—l believe, for the sake of gaining this high Pro testant project, we are taking the right course, namely, by making a Protestant democracy—(cheers) ;—by making Pro testant principles popular among the people ; by chewing them the value of the Bible; and by manifesting to them the all-sufficiency of the Lord Jesus Christ, to the utter repudiation of masses, and penances, and purgatories, and all the other trumpery, tantum donant, quantum sonant. (Loud cheers.) We are taking the right course, I say. We are preparing the right tone, which will tell in good time, and I would, add that by setting this thing plainly before our female friends we are also taking the right way. (Cheers.) We shall be told by and by that seven eights, nine-tenths—[casting his eye round the place)—l am not looking for the fact, I am thinking what the lie will be (laughter)—that nine-tenths of the assembly were ladies ; and that the remainder were insignificant persons, nobody knows who they were, (cheers, laughter, and a VOICE— " We'll let them know who we are.") Well, but the ladies are very influential : they know how to speak a word in season, and I do not envy the man who is incapable of being moved by such a word so spoken. (Loud cheers.) At all events, sir, our opponents must confess that we have the ladies (hear hear) and no wonder, for it is protestantism that has placed the ladies upon their proper level in society. (Cheers.) It is popery that exposes ladies to the prurient curiosity, to the aching anxious villanies, to the prying en quiries of a dastardly bachelor—(loud cheers)—asking his filthy questions. (Renewed cheers and some laughter.) Oh, my dear friends, long may you be able to laugh ! Let me tell you that it is no laughing matter to be brought into the confession box. (Cheers.) Well we are getting a noble phalanx for the support of our protestant =vents. The snowball is enlarging as it rolls, and I believe it will produce such an increase of good protestant members in the House of Commons, that if England falls she will not fall soft. (Cheers and laughter.) I see some of my fair friends are tired ; and it is dinner time, and I must have done. (Cries of go on.) Well then, if I must go on, I will tell you why I am engaged in all this. I find that there is in me, and I doubt not that there is in every one of you a con sciousness of guilt against God. I find that there is no mode of procuring peace but one—no mode that meets my apprehensions of God's majesty, and my convictions of my own misery, but a way high enough to reach the majesty of God, and low enough to reach the sympathies and the wants of man. (Cheers.) That way is "He who is God and man in one Christ,"—(cheers)—performing a work which man should have performed, enduring a penalty which man de serves to endure, and mingling every act and every pang with a meritoriousness of full dimensions to meet the majesty of Jehovah's character, to harmonize the perfections of Jehovah's government, so that God shall be justified and the justifier of the ungodly, so that all my apprehension of his majesty not only remains untouched, untarnished, but that it would be elevated by the contemplations of his good ness, which at some moments pervaded all my consciousness of iniquity, and offence against his law. (Cheers.) It is be cause Jesus Christ, the way of truth and the light—the day star of the bible is also the day-star of protestantism—(hear); —it is because the papal system has raised clouds and mists and fogs to obscure that star from the longing view of my poor fellow-countrymen, leaving them toiling in darkness below, misled, deceived, by every will-o'-the-wisp, by fire kindled by human tradition, and kept blazing by covetous, ambitious and interested priests, so that they are kept toiling in vain to establish a righteousness and to obtain a peace— thus daubing the wall with untempered mortar, and laying the flattering unction to their soul that penance to-day takes away the sin of yesterday, and that penance to-morrow will blot out the sin of to-day, and so going on mortifying the flesh one day and transgressing the next. (Cheers.) It is because of this torture, of this turmoil, of this toil here and of ruin hereafter, imposed by the papal superstition upon the people, and because we can not only tell what is wrong but because we have glorious glad tidings to tell you, we so act — because we have the Lord:Jesus Christ to preach, the end of the law for righteousness, the repudiator of penances and masses and purgatory and all the inventions of man to take away the sin ; of man it is because we have to tell of this in his character—if man alone were concerned he might toil successfully, but the character and government of God are concerned. (Cheers.) In the eyes of angels, and principa lities and powers, here we have the glad message to tell you of one able and willing to protect the work, that he has pro tected the work, and that whoso believes in Christ has ever lasting life. (Checes.) My friends, my brethren, my fellow townsmen and women, my reverend brethren, and my dear sir, this is our strength. this is our motive, this is our hope— Jesus Christ, all in all. (Cheers.) If we engage in any collateral object, if we speak about your parliament, about your Protestant duties as Englishmen, about anything that has a political bearing, it is with reference to this end, that you may secure the circulated English Bible, which testifies of Jesus Chriat ; the circulated English liturgy, which testi fies of Jesus Christ ; the true English clergyman, pledged, against all errors, to preach Jesus Christ, the end f the law —it is that you may have, by the laws of the country, se cured, as long as you live, and your children after you, the glorious gospel of the grace of God by Jesus Christ our Lord. (Cheers.) This is our cause, this is our motive, this is our strong and glorious hope. If we are asked hat we are about, we reply, we are defending the gospel. If you ask us by what means, we say, by rousing the Protestants of Eng land. (Cheers.) How is it to be defended otherwise ? (Hear.) How are our missionary societies to be supported otherwise ? How can the missionary cause in England go on if our Protestantism gives way ? (Hear.) The Protestantism of. England is the spring of missions. What is, too, to be come of the Jews ? (Hear, hear.) Popery has done more to keep the Jews from christianity than anything else. The Jews know, by the history of their forefathers, what it is to offend the Almighty by image worship ; they have felt the power of God in consequence of image worship. (Hear, hear.) Whatever else they may be, the Jews abhor image worship. With popery there is image worship ; the putting of a little bambino of alabaster in the bosom of the images they bow to—these are things that Judah abhors. The Jews, indeed, can never approach Christianity whilst any part of it is identified with image worship. (Hear.) The papacy is a part of Christianity, and whilst it is so the Jews can never approach Christianity. (Hear.) Brethren, as you value your church, as you va l ue all the blessings of Old England— '‘ No Popery !" (Tremendous cheers, in the midst of which the reverend gentleman resumed his seat.) Mr. CHRISTOPHER BUSHELL seconded the resolution in an appropriate but brief address, in the course of which he exposed the proceedings of the papists in the Protector So ciety, the object of which is to swamp the constituency with Irish papist voters. Mr. RIGBY moved a vote of thanks to the rev. chairman for the able manner in which he had presided over this im portant meeting. The motion was seconded by several gentlemen, and car ried by acclamation. The Rev. Dr. TArrEasuALL returned thanks for the compliment paid to him in a short address. The doxology was then sung, and the meeting dispersed shortly before five o'clock, highly gratified with the whole proceedings. SCOTCH CHURCH, OLDHAM-STREET.—We understand the Rev. John Cumming, of London, is to assist at the ad ministration of the sacrament in the Scotch church, Oldham street, on Sabbath next, and to preach this evening in the same place. IMPORTANT TO OWNERS OF PASSENGER-SHIPS, AND OTHERS.—We had some weeks ago occasion to notice in terms of commendation, the beautiful manner in which the great cabin of the steam-ship, " Oriental," was ornamented with tablets of papier mache, forty-eight in number, covering the upper pannels of the wood-work round that magnificent room. We have since seen in the saloon of her sister ship, , " The Great Liverpool," ornamental panels of the same ma terial, but, if possible, more delicate and tasteful in design, and more splendid in effect, though this last point, of course, involves a matter of taste. Both are from the works of Messrs. Jennins and Bettrudge of Birmingham. The tablets under notice are ornamented in arabesque, on a ground colour of the pale blossom of the primrose. They are brilliantly polished. The ornamentsdaserbhehuuebeautiful aiareoflurmnure.tltoiltiiifynn.rhueeyleltlei in foliated and scroll work are in t (gmi nwho tendrilsarl edn e g e rymade s noie h uei dnfas a ; att d fwphgra e eloeana s eeldydamd o ds gold, tg f ti:ohbnrs uaeegat hy e axa v eneer e Tdext d ui erhsptco b teeouu, they dsptnpe.uded: naweTrndbo, ach c yrani o eklhnt r coral t l nfhoeao a dwonrr n :wde d t g s seands e cneti a ohndt t-mheeawwobdpehurl deli cateeeigi to getherdstt hees , they so far resemble each other at a short distance as to ap pear precisely alike to the casual observer, a nearer examin ation immediately shows that they are separate and elaborate works of art, comprising varied and pleasing combinations. The mouldings, forming, as it were, the frame of each tablet are also beautiful and novel, and are of the same material. The mode of gilding is the reeent invention in papier mache of Messrs. Jennins & Co., and was, we learn, first employed by them in decorating some splendid furniture for the Queen. The ornaments resemble inlaid tortoise shell, but far surpass advantages w as in the many it in richness and effect. The whole saloon appears like an entire palace. The papier machi , as prepared by Messrs. Jennies for oraa ornamental en tldwork Co., we a o y f re ths remark, possesses ma , as making of many beautiful articles . It is even more durable m than oak, and is not subject to be worm-eaten or to decay from dry-rot. Neither is it combustible or liable to be broken. It is made of various thicknesses, according to th e various purposes to which it is to be applied. A small spe cimen of the material previous to being decorated is before us. It is about half an inch thick, and resembles a piece of hard wood. We doubt not but ere long it will come into extensive use, not only in the cabins of fine ships, but in the principal rooms or boudoirs in the mansions of our wealthy countrymen. Mr. John Barnett, the popular composer, in conjunction with Mr. Morriss Barnett, the comedian, has taken the Prince's Theatre (Braham's), for the express production of Original English operas. Arrangements are being made to oPen the theatre early in November next. TowN DOUNCJIL PROCEEDINGO, A meeting of the Council was held in the Town-hall on Wednesday, for the despatch of business. In the absence of the mayor. who was presiding in the court for the revision of the burgess lists. Air. Alderman EARLE was appointed to preside. A note was read from the MAYOR, to the effect that his worship " from the present mode of proceeding," in the Revision Court, found it impossible to attend the council — that it would in consequence of that mode of proceeding require all the time allowed by law to complet3 the revision, if, indeed, it could be accomplished at all. The communi cations addressed to the mayor, were in the hands of the Town-clerk. _ _ _ The proceedings of the last council meeting were read and confirmed. FINANCE COMMITTEE. The deputy TOWN-CLERK having read the proceedings of the Finance Committee, their confirmation was moved by Mr. BOLTON, and seconded by another member of the council. Amongst them were several payments for the in surances upon revenue building. Mr. HODGSON inquired by what authority the corporation were called upon to pay these insurances. Mr. BOLTON explained that the commissioners of customs wished to insure the several parts of the buildings distinctly, but that the fire-offices had declined. The proceedings of the Finance Committee related merely to the mode of divi sion. _ _ Mr. HODGSON submitted that was no answer to his ques tion. He wished to know how it was that this council were called upon to pay any parts of the expense of insuring the Custom-house, as he understood they had nothing farther to do with it. He wished for this information, not on account of the expense involved in it, but on account of knowing on whom the responsibility of payment rested. The CHAIRMAN stated that the council were bound to in sure and keep in repair, the Custom-house for ten years. Mr. HoRNIIY said that was not exactly an answer to the question. The fact was the commissioners of customs paid their own insurance, and the council theirs, for that portion of the building which they occupied. Mr. HODGSON was not aware that the council occupied any portion of the building. Mr. SMITH observed that they occupied the Town Dues office. The conversation on this subject then dropped. Mr. ISAAC HOLMES, after complaining of the manner in which he and several other members were systematically ex cluded from all the committees, moved as an amendment that the accounts of the Finance Committee, now read, be not confirmed until they had been investigated by those mem bers who were not members of the committee. The amendment not being seconded, it fell to the ground. The usual statement of leases was read and confirmed. IMPROVEMENT ,COMMITTEE. The proceedings of the ImprOvement Committee was next read, and confirmed without eliciting any remarks. WATCH COMMITTEE. Mr. THORNHILL moved that the proceedings of this corn mittee be confirmed. Mr. DUNCAN seconded the motion. Amongst the pro ceedings was a resolution recommending the Council to lay a rate of one halfpenny in the pound for the support of the fire police for 1840-1. There was also a letter from Captain Williams, inspector of prisons, stating that he had, in com pany with Mr. Whitty, inspected all the places in the bo rough for the temporary detention of prisoners, and found them all in the best order. There was only one suggestion which he wished to offer—namely, that no person be allowed to make a profit by supplying the prisoners with beds, but that the corporation should furnish them. On the motion of Mr. THORNHILL, seconded by Mr. SMITH, Wm. Williams and others were appointed assessors and collectors of the lighting, cleansing, and fire-police rates for the ensuing year ; and a tire-police rate of one halfpenny in the pound was laid. MARKETS COMMITTEE. The proceedings of this committee were read and con. firmed. TOWN-HALL ESTABLISHMENT COMMITTEE. This committee presented only a few bills, which were confirmed. EDUCATION COMMITTEE. The proceedings of this committee consisted of only one meeting, at which nothing particular was done. COURTS OF LAW COMMITTEE. In the proceedings of this committee, a long letter was read from Mr. Elmes, whose plans for the Assize Courts were approved of, and took the first prize among those some time since submitted for inspection. The letter was one of respectful remonstrance, arising out of an impression that the writer was not to be any further consulted respecting the building. It appeared, by a letter from the Corporation Surveyor, that he was aver se t o m aking any alterati ons i n those plans, while it did not a pp ear in any part of the r e p or t that the committee had ever intended to proceed without consulting Mr. Elmes. Subsequently, after an interview with the committee, Mr. Elmes seems to have been per fectly satisfied, and he was proceeding with some alterations in his plans. On the motion of Mr. HoßNny, seconded by Mr. LAW RENCE, the proceedings of the committee were confirmed. DOCK COMMITTEE. The proceedings of this committee under the Dock Acts were confirmed. It appeared that the plans of Mr. Gage had been examined by a sub-committee appointed for the purpose, and found not so convenient as those of Mr. Hart ley ; but that, as he had been at considerable pains, and had prepared one plan at the request of the committee, he be requested to accept the sum of one hundred guineas. NEW DOCK BILL. Mr. LEATHONI, seconded by Mr. BENN, moved that the proceedings of the committee be confirmed with regard to the bill for the erection of warehouses upon the dock quays. Mr. SANDBACH said perhaps the chairman of the Dock Committee could inform the Council the amount which had been expended in the late unsuccessful attempt to obtain the bill? Mr. LEATHOM replied that the accounts had only been received lately, and there was no doubt they were correct. They were, however, now under revision. The expense in curred in the attempt to obtain the new dock bill was £lO,lOO, and of the resistance to the Harrington and Her culaneum bills about £1,500. Mr. HODGSON inquired whether the Council were to have the particulars of this expenditure laid before them. This information was absolutely necessary, as he supposed the matter was not yet at an end. If the particulars were given, they might be subject to inquiry in the course of the election now about to take place. . . . Mr. LEATHOM replied that the information would come before the council regularly, in the proceedings of the Dock Committee. Mr. HODGSON said that would not be sufficient, and he should be glad to know whether there were any means by which the accounts could be given, at once, to the public ? The CHAIRMAN replied that Mr. Leathom had answered that question. Mr. HODGSON rejoined that Mr. Leathom had only stated that the accounts would come before the council in regular course ; but he (Mr. Hodgson) was desirous of knowing be fore the particulars of what had been paid for this gingerbread scheme. _ Mr. LEATIIOM again stated that the accounts would come before the Dock Committee in the regular way. Mr. HODGSON hoped that no longer time would elapse that was absolute necessary before this information was given. He trusted the bills would not be kept back. The CH AIRMAN thought Mr. Hodgson's remarks were out of order,_ unless he intended to conclude with an amendment. Mr. HODGSON would always bow with respect to the re quirements of the chair. He did not wish to detain the coun cil unnecessarily, but as this was an important subject, and one likely to attract great attention in the ensuing election, it was due to themselves and to the public to know whether what had been lost one year might not be saved in another. He thought the public ought to have an opportunity of judg ing fully and completely what degree of opposition should be made to the scheme in future, or whether all opposition should be withdrawn. For this object they ought to know what costs had been incurred—if they could get the informa tion. Mr. SMITH asked whether the resolution was merely pro forma', to enable the Dock Committee to give the necessary notices, or whether it was understood as binding the council to the principle ? Mr. LCATHOM replied that the object of the resolution was to enable the Dock Committee to give the necessary parlia mentary notices, which must be given at the end of October or the beginning of November. Mr. JOHN HOLMES.—Then this is merely a formal pro ceeding ? Mr. BoLToN.—Certainly. Mr. ISAAC HOLMES enquired whether the £11,700 were to be paid out of the dock estate, or out of the corporate es tate ? The CHAIRMAN said that was not the question. Mr. ISAAC II oLmEs insisted it was the question. If this sum were to be abstracted from the corporate funds the council ought to know it, in order that they might be enabled to appropriate funds for other purposes. Mr. BOLTON said, the proper time for discussing questions would be when it came before the.council in the shape of a recommendation from the Finance Committee. Mr. EVANS rose under great excitement, and said he would never consent to their being any understanding that the adoption of this resolution should not be considered as pledg ing the council to the principle involved in it. With regard to the expense, who was it owin g t o b ut to th ose who, to their disgrace, had compelled the authorities to spend the public money in a vain attempt to get the bill, for no other but a vile, pecuniary, and interested motive? The CHAIRMAN said the speaker had better not use such terms as " disgraceful" and others which he had. Mr. EVANS said he had been excited by Mr. Hodgson having applied the term " gingerbread" to the scheme. The CHAIRMAN observed that he should be glad to have some gingerbread now for he was very hungry. Mr. EVANS admitted that he ought to apologise for the language he had used. Mr. HODGSON said as the term had given such offence to the worthy alderman as he had described, he gladly with draw it. He could not, however, himself see that there was any cause for offence. The motion was then carried. MAYOR'S COMMUNICATIONS. _ _ _ The Mayor's communications were next read and referred to the respective committees. BATHS, &C., FOR THE POOR. Mr. RATHBONE read the reports of the special committee on the subject of providing baths for the use of the poor, with conveniences for the washing of their clothes, and moved that it be referred to the finance committee to report as to the funds. The report stated that about £2,000 would he required for the erection of each of the establishments, but that afterwards they would support themselves. Mr. BLACKBURNE seconded the motion. Mr. EVANS inquired whether there was any example any where of establishments of this kind, observing that it would be consolatory to know whether if tried they had succeeded? Mr. RATHBONE replied, that as far as the baths were con cerned the present was an experiment ; but as regarded the washing cellars they had been tried for five years in Upper Pitt-street, and had succeeded admirably. The CHAIRMAN believed that both establishments were contrived for the use of the workmen, in some places where steam-engines were used. Mr. RATHBONE observed that a brother-in-law of his had two of them in his factories, one in Lancaster and another in Macclesfield, and th ey h a d been found of the greatest utility. The resolution was then passed, and at half-past one the council adjourned till Friday the 30th instant—the last meet ing prior to the forthcoming election. The will of the late Earl of Durham has been proved in the prerogative courts of York and Canterbury. In the former the personal property had been sworn to be under £250,000, and in the latter to a much smaller amount. The will, which is entirely in the late earl's own handwriting, occupies merely the two first pages of a common sheet of letter paper, the attestations standing upon the head of the third page, and it conveys to the Countess of Durham the whole real and per sonal estate of her lamented husband, without restriction or control. ROYAL AR TILLERY.-At seven o'clock on Saturday even. ing an order arrived at Woolwich for the men selected from the detachment recently returned from Spain, to proceed to Constantinople, to brigade and instruct the Turks, to set out without delay for their destination, as their services wou ld be immediately reaui re d. T o s h ow the readiness of British soldiers, and what they can do in cases of emergency, it is but justice to state, that in less than half an hour the men had left the garrison f or L on d on , on their way to the termi nus of the railway at Va ux h a ll, t o proc eed with the first train to Southampton, where they expected to meet Lieutenant A. S. Dickson, and embark in a steam vessel for Constantinople. The men appointed to this arduous duty . consist of four non. commissioned officers, and three experienced gunners and drivers.

There are several country orders on hand, and holders demand higher prices generally, 102 s to 103 s being about the figure for Ist Belfast. All other kinds are proportionably enhanced in value. Pickled Butter is in request for the Brazils and command 96s for seconds. Beef rules rather lower, the best brands may be had at 120 s to 1255. Pork of the finest quality 72s 6d per barrel. Bacon a little cheaper. There are several lots of Hambro' and Conti. nental Pork offering at low prices. LIVERPOOL CORN MARKET, OCT. 6. The imports of Wheat and Flour from foreign ports have again been to a fair extent, on all of which duty has been paid ; and we have also had a few cargoes of new Wheat, Oats, and Oatmeal, from Ireland, of pretty good quality ; but the weather having been upon the whole favourable for the Northern harvest, and the markets in Mark-lane having been depressed during the past week, we have experienced a very languid demand, and to a moderate extent, for every article in the Corn Trade, here and at Manchester, and likewise in all the markets of this district, at very barely the quota tions of this day week, and in some instances a small reduction has been submitted to. The duty 'on Wheat from foreign ports has rapidly advanced, two steps, on Friday last, say to 18s ad per qr. and on Flour to Ils 2id per barrel and may now be conlidered virtually prohibitory ; on Oats also it has increased to 4s 9d per quarter, and on Peas to 5s per quarter; on Barley, Indian Corn, and Buck Wheat, it has decreased to 9s 4d per quarter; on other kinds of Grain there is no alteration ; some few sales of Flour in bond have been made for export at 27s to 285 per barrel ; of other articles, nominally, as free, deducting the duties. It is likely, that on Friday next, the duty on Foreign Wheat will be increased to 20s ad, and British Colonial Wheat to 5s per quarter. This day's market was very thinly attended by millers and dealers, who brought very sparingly for their immediate wants, and although the prices of last week were generally demanded, very few sales were effected, of Wheat at a decline of about 2d per 7olbs, and of Flour at about 3d to 6d per barrel. Oats and Oatmeal, owing to their temporary scarcity, obtained a small advance, and in all other Grain, and in our general prices current we can make little variation from this day week.
