TO 771 E EDITOR OF THE LIVERPOOL STANDARD. Sta,—l have lately heard, what were intended to be, legal arguments on the old, long-since exploded, doctrine of a creditor having a right to seize the dead body, before interment, of his (late) debtor; and one gentleman (who is, I know, a commis sioner for taking special bail) would 'have it that the death of a defendant did not save the bail, who were bound to have his body, though dead, delivered to a gaoler, in order to their dis charge, and that recorrnizances of bail were taken accordingly. Thiilate Lord C. J. Elletilinrough has clearly and emphatically East, the law on this subject in Jones r. A s hburton, see 4th East, 4fill and 465. His lordship says, "To seize a dead body upon any such pretence would be contra bones mores, and an ex tortion on the relatives; it iscentrarvto everyprincipit oflawand moral feeling; SI:11 all act is revolting to huina,iity, and illegal, and therefore any promi.e extorted by the fear of it could never he valid in law. It might as well be said that a praznise, in consideration that one would withdraw a pistol from another's breast, could be enforced against the party acting under such unlawful terror." Be pleased to give your readers a little legal lig,ht on this subject, by inserting, if agreeable to you, this letter.—Yonr's, _ M. 27th October, 1835. LAs we do not profess to be learned in the law we have but very little legal light to throw upon this subject, except that which commonsense supplies; and common law has, we believe, been called the perfection of common sense. As death puts an end to all personal contracts, as well as to the existence of the body, the bail, see apprehend, would be entitled to an ereneretur upon satisfying the court that th e b a il ee w a s, in th e l ang u a ge of common parlance, "no more." We once heard Lord Ten terden say, when a case of this kind was mentioned in court, " I should like to see the sheriff who would dare bring a dead boar into ceurt, or before a judge at chambers." The arrest of a dead body 'is clearly illegal, because it takes from a third party a species ot property of which that party has the legal custody, and because an action could no more be maintained against a (load body than against any other mass of inert matter.] BOXIANA.

WILLIAM Porß and Alcrusi AS CAMBRIDOR, ship-builders, audit, at the Clarendon Rooms, at. Final Dividend, ut GREAT- PrZOTESTANT MEETING AT UHL AMPHITHEATRE. As early as nine o'clock yesterday morning the doors of the Amphitheatre were crowded by ladies and gentle men, anxious to obtain admission, although it was known that the business advertised to take place within its walls would not commence until eleven o'clock. In the course of Monday and Tuesday, and on Wednesday _morning, four thousand tickets of admission to doe - theatre bad been issued : still the applications for them were - continued until the morning of the following day ; and had the building been sufficiently capacious to contain double that number, we have no doubt whatever that eight thousand persons would have attended. At half past ten o'clock every part of the house, including the stage, was full, excepting the space on the stage reserved for the chair , man and his friends, and the orchestra, which was exclu sively set apart for the accommodation of the reporters for the public press. The view of the house, from the stage, was an imposing spectacle, .when the number of persona seen from that situation, and the coMmon objects for which they had assembled were,taken into considera tion,—namely, the formatimvola Protestant Association, the exposure of the errorS;the delusions, the frauds, and. the withering influence of popery, and the propagation Of THE TVORMir, unpolluted by crafty, subtle, and pries=tly interpOlatioes, among our fellow subjects in Ireland. On 'The stage we noticed the principal members-of the clerical professiqn, together with all the leading merchant's, bank, ers, and tradesmen of Liverpool and its vicinity—The . dress circle of bores was almost Wholly occupied by ladies, a great number of whom were also seen in the gallery, in the pit, and on the stage. At eleven o'clock, William Hulton, Esq., of Hulton Par k7entered the house from the stage door, accompanied lay tlie Rev. Messrs M'Ghee and Pope, and a number of other friends. The appearance of these gentletnep occa sioned a loud and general cheering from the' assembly. When this public manifestation of respect had subsided; . C. S Parker; Esq . ., moved that Mr. Hulton be requested to take the cbair • this proposition being seconded oy the Rey. Dr. Ralph, chair; Hulton thok the. chair, and proceed cl address the meeting to the following effect : Ladies and gentlemen,—Though called by the motion which . has been Moved, seconded, and has received your sanction, to take this chair, I could not satisfy my conscience to enter on the important duties'of the day, nor would you,'l feel satisfied, approve of any attempt of mine to execute them, except we first ask of Almighty God the influences of his spirit to calm the troubles which agitate our minds, and to enable us to go through the bu.iness of this day in a spirit of peace and love. (Cheers.) I call on the Rev. Mr. Buddicombe to offer up a prayer. Mr. BUDD(CoMBE then stepped forward to the front of the orrhestra, and offered an appropriate and impressive prayer. The CHAIRMAN then again rose, and spoke nearly at follows : —Ladies and gentlemen— , -my christian fiends; those who know me best are perfectly aware of the deep humility with which I have entered on the dnties of this day. I look around me and see many who ought to have preceded me in taking this chair. And my own iusigutficance in thin great town assures me that I ought not to have been placed in this very prominent situation. But when duty calls, ad minor considerations must at once give way. Still I cannot help looking back to a siini tar meeting last year when 1 had the honour of addressinZ you. I remember that this chair was then filled by extraordinary station acid talent, of which I unfortunately can in no respect boast. lam aware also, that by men on whose judgment we place very great reliance, objections may be raised to the mode of proceedings. But if a man will leave every good work undone till no objection can be raised against it, many a good Work will be left undone for ever. (Cneers.) Now let me most anxiously implore you, my approving friends, to lay aside, as far as it is possible, every feeling of party politics and of party prejudice (Cheers.) Aed let me assure you—if within these wails there are any that oppose—let me assure you that we meet you in the spirit of christian purity, fur the cause of those whom we think to Ile deluded, and that no hostile provocation actuates any part of our conduct. (Hear.) Gentlemen, the inhabitants of the south of Ireland are suffering cruel persecution, and the causes remain to be proved this day, if possible, by a rev. gen tleman specialty commissioned to 'lay before yuu such informa tion. What the church of Rome was I have the oppoi tunitv of explaining to you in a mode which may be new to many of my hearers. 1 happen to hold in my hands two indulgences of two popes, autltentic documents delivered to one of my ancestors, fur the salvation of his soul ss it! of mine, if I had not heroine heretic. (Immense cheering.) One was given by Pope Bugs nius IV., and the ether by Pope Bonifare IX., granting an in dulgehce to his ancestors, and extending it to him '( Mr. H.) and his successors if they remained catholics. Are these the documents that we are to present at the bar of judgment ?- , -the passports to heaven? (Immense cheering.) Is this a docu ment you would exchange for the cleansing blood of the ever living redeemer of man? (Cheers.) If the response of your hearts be that they are nut, may we hope that, assembling Isere under the blessing of Almighty God, such a spirit may be raised in the town that each poor Irishman may now be able to say. ignorant- though 1 may be, this l know, that "whereas once I was blind now I see." (Cheers.) Gentlemen, I beg to call on the Rev. Robert M•Ghee to propose the fiist resolution. The Rev. R. 1. 11,1`Glinh theu,ruse aud spoke nearly as follows: —Though I have the honour to address this vast and respects able meeting at the request of some of the most respectable aud respected individuals who compose it, yet if I were to appear before you on such contemptible considerations, and with such paltry and insignificant objects as the public journals have so liberally ascribed to me—it I were to stand here as the tool of a political party, actuated by political motives, to promote some political end, I should stand with feelings very different indeed twin those with which I present myself before yOn this day. (Cheers.) For, when 1 consider the importance of the subject on which I am called to address this meeting—when I consider the persons, the interests, the principles, the feelings, the pre judices, the passions which are involved in it, I should sink un der the weight of responsibility which lies on :ne if I stood on the sandy foundation of the paltry considerations of mere tem porary concerns. But, sir, I stand here on very different grounds. Uncounected all my life with any political party— without communication, without concert. without conference, without authority, without accountability to any party, or any man of any party it, the empire —desirous, indeed, not to give unnecessary offence, but not solicitous in the discharge of nay solemn duty to please any man in all your empire from the cottage to the thrtne. I stand here, sir, on the authority of this holy word, (holding a bible in his hand,) the word of the eternal" God —acknowledging, indeed, my accountability fur toy conduct and my expressions to the laws of my country, aud to the' laws, I hope, not only of civilized but of christian society, hut for my principles, for my motives, acknowledging no ac countability to any one on earth—to none but to God in heaven. (Loud and continued applause.) I did not descend, sir, into the arena of your political controversies, but I invite all your politicians and all your statesmen to come and stand on the ground I do. For it is ground on which the poorest, the mean est, the humblest individual like myself may stand with confi dence and firmness, and it is ground on which, if the statesman or the monarch does not plant his foot, he has no foundation to rest on for time or for eternity. (Loud cheering.) The man who takes his stand on the principle of eternal truth stands on an elevation superior to the patronage of tho statesman, and above the power of the throne. If the whole world were ar rayed against him, he stands on a rock—the world stands on a quicksand. He can smile amidst its scorn, he shall stand un moved amidst its ruins. What effect, or whether any effect may be produced upon the political interests of England or Ireland by the truths which it is my duty to lay before this meeting it is not for me to calculate. This I know, that effect ought to Le produced by them—they ought to lead ail men who are in etror to consider before it be too late, whether the errors of which they are ashamed in time tau stand, as your chairman has so forcibly illustrated, when we come to appear at the bar of etc tnitv. 1 am sure they ought to produce this effect—that all men should know the value of true religion—(cheers)—the value of a reli gion which is founded on the word of the living and eternal God, should rally around and maintssin the truth. 1 speak not 'as a politician, but as a minister of Christ, whets I say woe, woe, woe be to the guilty nation that desires to exclude the word of God from its councils— (loud and continued cheering) —den will compromise, for any political consideration or any principles of men, the sacred word and authority of God ! (Cheers.) Woe, I sev, woe, woe to the guilty nation to which it is a matter of indifference whether the sound and, faithful word and worship of the living God twmaintaired, or supplant ed by ignorance and superstition in any quarter of the empire! (Great cheering.) Before I enter on the subject, let me say to my Roman catholic friends, if I have the pleasure of addressing any here, that I can appeal to Him who searcheth the heart, that I stand not arrayed with any party against them, but, to the best of my judgment, 1 stand here, as I desire to stand everywhere, as their honest and faithful friend. (Applause.) They must expect from me fidelity; speaking in the sight of God, I must be faithful to my duty ; for, " if I sought to please men, I should not be the servant of Christ." But, in the dis charge of that duty, if I shnuld use uny expressions. which may wound their feelings, I regret the painful necessity ; and, HI •should wound them by any unnecessary expressions, I trust that they will believe it is owing to the weakness of human na ture in.speaking hastily on such a snivel, andneit to any intros. non of wounding the humblest or the most insignificant amongst theme (Cheers.) It was not mv intention to have entered in . to the subject of the evidence of this book—Deus's Theology— as haviiig been set up as the standard of fault by the Roman ~ catholic bishops and priests of Ireland. At was my it tention. to have entered into the consideration of the principles con tained in it, for I have been obliged so frequently to appear be fore the public and to go through the detans of evidence on the subject, that those who have read that evidence are almost se tut ated with its repetitilin. But, so long as men cottie forward as they have done, on high authority, to deny, while tbey can-' not disprove, the facts which have been so frequently detailed —lt) lung as I am permitted to'speak, I shall feel it toy duty to reiterate those proofs and to go through the facts and evidence on this subject, till there shall not be a man in England who is able to wad that can doubt the facts as they have been laid before the nation. (Cheers.) Now, cue word, before I b eg i n , to the editors' of th e p u bl ic papers. An editor hiss moral and literary, as well as a political, character to maintain: he is, of course. perfectly free to choose what sphere be pleases tb move in, use politician, but fie is not at liberty to move in what sphere he pleases -,as a moralist. He may make what •eomment s on the princi,lies, the conduct, and authorities of men he likes; but I do say lie has no right to deny facts that he can't disprove, and to endeavour to mislead the public mind as to their existence. (Immense cheering.) Now, I have seen throughout all the papers, paragraph alter paragraph headed, calling this "a hum buy," a "mere imposture." Now, 1 stand.here this day, in stern defiance of all the press in England. (Immense cheering fol lowed this announcement, and cries of " Hear.") I defy the capability of any editor of England to go seriatim, step by. seep, through the proofs that I shall lay before this meeting this da - y, and deny the facts which these proofs shall establish. I can assure them that, so far as I am concerned, the press, the censure of the press, or of the world, is a matter of perfect .in difference to me. ( Hear, hear.) To the unitt that desires to act conscientiously upon a sense of his duty and accountability to his Gokit is a small ma tt er f or hint to be judged by his fel low worm*. (Hear, hear.) Without further preface, I shall now call yogis attention to the circumstances and proofs which are to he is before you. This is the book—Den's Theology— ( holding sen the volumes in his hand) of which you have. heard so much. Now, observe there are two series of 'facts connected with this book. The first series of facts refers to the first edi tion of this work, which was published 27 years ago, in the year IM. The second series of facts refers to the second edition of this heel:, which was published three years ago, in the year 1832. Now, I shall begin with the series of proofs connected with the first edition; and I would request your ea lin, patient, diligent attention to all the facts and circumstances I shall law before you. The first notice that we have in print or Den's Theology is found in an advertisement of the Roman catholic bookseller, Mr. Coyne, in his catalogue. which is bound up with the Priests' Directory, for the year 1832. There are three facts stated by - t his bookseller, in the advertisement iu this catalogue, counect ed with the first edition of this book published lb the sear 4808. It commences—" In the press, and will be pUblished in March, 1631: by It. Coyne, Dyne's Complete Body of Theology. At a meeting of the Roman catholic prelates of Ireland, assembled in Dublie, on the 14th day of-September, 1808, they unanimously agreed t het Deus' Complete Body of Theology was the best book on the subject that could be republished, as containing the most eecure guittance.for such ecclesiastics as may, by 'reason of the circumstances of this country, be deprived of the opportunity of referring to public libraries or consultinx these who may be placed in authority over them; ; in consequence, an edition of this work was ordered to be printed by the present publisher to the number of 3)00 cepies."—Now, this bookseller states this fact, that on a certain day, namely, the 11th Sept., 1808, all the Irish Roman catholic' bishops and archbishops met together; he states, on that day, so assembled, they passed a certain reso lutionew.hich I have read, respecting Dens' Pheology; he states that, in consequence of this resolution, they gave him an order to print 3000 copies, which he accordingly did. Now, this is a statement of facts given by the bookseller, who has always pub lished for the Roman catholic bishops of Ireland, at least during that time, and I believe for some years before, and who is ale° the bookseller to the college of Maynooth. And, I will say of Mr. Coyne, ehat he is a man of the most unblemished reputation, and a's upright a man as any in the city of Dublin that I know of. 'Now, this evidence, this statement of facts, has never bean im peached by any authority. The editor of the Freeman's Journal and the Weekly Register has denied it • but Dr. Murray, and not m one of the Roan catholic bishops of it; have ever ventured to stand forward and say that it is not the fact. (Cheers.) Dr. Murray has stated that he never heard of the resolution till he saw it in the advertisement, though he was himself made a bishop the year after tue resolution was passed. This is very extraordinary, if it be true ;' . for we shall see on another occasion that it was ordered as the conference book for his own diocese and province. If ha did not know. that it was so adopted before he was a bishop, then it is rather of the. Dublin adoption of the Theology of Dens • Wit Was first set up as a standard by all the bishops in 1808, and Dr. Murray, on this principle, without any knowledge of their approbation, adopted it on his own independent authority,. as the best book for his conferences in 1825. Now we all know that, in the evidence which is to be produced for the .establish meat of any fact—we know that collateral evidence is sometimes evidence as strong as direct. evidence. Now I shall call your attention to some collateralevidences on this subject to establish the fact staiVd by. Mr. Coyne' in his advertisement. 'Phe,first to which I shall direct your attention is found in the Ilistora.of the Roman Catholic Association, published by Mr. \Vise, a mem ber of parliament—a gentleman with whose talews you are no doubt acquainted. In the Appendix, No. VII., of this history, we find that at a meeting of the Roman catholic prelates, as. sembled in Dublin on the 25th February, 18W, the following resolutions had been unanimously adopted : Ist,—That it is the uedsttibted and exclusive right of Roman Catholic bishops to discuss all matters appartainingeto the doc trines and discipline of the Roman catholic church. 2,l,—'Phat we, do hereby confirm and declare .our unaltered adherence to the resolutions unanimously entered into at our last general meeting on the 14th September, 1 808 - Now you observe these resolutions of September, 1808, were never in print. But this establishes the fact that the bishops did inset on the very day mentioned by Mr. Coyne; and they do hero declare that they confirm these resolutions. That is merely a fact to establish the proof that they met on the day named. Now in two months after this, namely, in November, 1808, there was a remarkable circumstance occurred at Kil kenny, which, as I detailed at the Hereford meeting, I shall not now repeat at length. But. Dr. Lanigan, the then Bishop of Ossory, violated a promise which he had made to some of his own people, a committee of Roman catholic gentlemen in Kilkenny, of whom Major Bryan was the head; and Major Bryan was so offended at the violation of this promise that he pufilished the fact in the papers of the day. The bishop replied to the charge, and justified the violation of his promise: and he justified this violation by five reasons, which appeared to Major Bryan so exceedingly jesuitical that he stated, in another letter which he published, that it was unnecessary to make any com ment on them. Now, in referring to the reasons whirl Dr. Lanigan gives for violating_ his promise, we find that they are the very reasons given in Dens' 1 heology fur the vinlati n of a promise, and literally translated from Dens. (Cheers.) So that we have here a bishop violating a promise, and justifying that violation from the standard of theology', which at the time was not known. But it now appears to have been adopted two months before as the standard of the Roman catholic priesthood be , all the bishops of 'rebind. Now the next collateral proof to which I shall refer you is this; Mr. Woods, the compiler of the Priests' Directory, wrote a leiter to the editor of a Hereford paper, purporting to excuse himself for not having come to the Hereford meeting. in this letter he states a very remarkable fact concerning Dens"Pheology. He says, " Shortly after Mr. Coyue's first edition of Dens made its appearance, it was pro posed, by a member of the - Board of Maynooth, that it should be made a class book for the students; and what was the result of this motion ? It was unanimously rejected. This fact can be proved by the present respected .president at Maynooth College, and stands recorded in the minutes of the proceedings of the hoard. If the approbation were general and unanimous in September, 1808, is it not strange Elvst four archbishops and seven bistitips, who were members of that board, should reject this same work unanimously in February, 1809.''— Now observe, Mr. Woods in the first plane makes a mistake respecting the dates, which is very important. Here he says, " shortly after Mr. Coy se's first edition of Dens made its ap pearance. it was proposed by a member of the Board of May- Booth, that it should be made a class-book for the studeete•" and he tells.us this pi:Tose' was unanimously rejected in Feb.l 1809. Now, I believe all booksellers will bear me out in My assertions, when 1 say that a book in seven volumes, of which 3,000 copies were °meted in Sept. 1808, nimbi not be publiehed in Feb. 1809. And what appears from this? that this book, which was at that time Imprinted, was froM such high authority so well known, that one of the aleinhers of the Board of May nooth—some honest simpleton or other—proposes that it ehoutil he adopted as a class-book for that college. But the archbishdps and bishops unanimously rejected that motion : it was an ad mirable book for the direction of the priests, but a dangerous book for public inspection as a class-book to the College of Mavnooth.—( immense cheering.) Therefore, so far from ',es tablishing that the bishops did not oppruvo of it in 1808, it ra ther appears from this fact that the book must have been west highly approved of by them, read pesfeetly knowwto lenenneor it . never would have been proposed" by any member of the Board that it should be adopted to supersede belahogue and Reilly, which were, and continue to be, the class-books of that crnlege; and as to their rejecting it, what does that prove, when we see now the effsrts That they make to evade, deny, and get rid of it, when it is irrefragably established to have been adopted es the conference Look for the whole province of leeinsier ?---(Cheeis.) Now Dens went to sleep for a long time. We hear nothing of Dens, and we can trace nothing of Dens for 17 years after this. But in 17 years after this, namely, in the year 182,5, we find Dens' Phei,logy adopted by Dr. Murray as the conference book for the diocesan conferences of Dublin. Here are the questious of conference for the diocese of Dublin in the years 1825, 26 and 28, and we flint this command at the end of each of these conferences. " The aforesaid questions, and in their order, shall be discussed in the conferences of the city of Dublin, i n the alternate mouths, from the month of May 1825. to March 1826 inclusive, signed 1). Multeer, A.D., &c." These ques tions of conference, objets are printed, that they may be in pos session of many individuals. have been authenticated by the very directions sent out by Dr. Murray and his priests to Mr. O'Connell, and lodged by him in evidence before the Orange Committee in ,London, and they arc taken exactly front Dens"Pheology. not indeed in regular successive order as those since 1831, but taken up and down from different treatises. I have myself authenticated them and have stated these facts to Dr. Murray in a published letter, and in speeches which have never been denied, so that in seventeen years after Coyne wakes this statement, concerning Dens' The ology we have this book made the conference hook for the clergy of the diocese of Dublin in the same year, be it remem bered, that Dr. Murray gave in his evidence to the Houses of Parliament that Verron and Holden were the standards of the Roman cathhlic church, while he was himself adopting in has; diocesan conferences the standard of Dens' Theology, Now, I say this is a collateral proof that Coyne received the (sides to publish the hooka and did publish the books; for Dr. Murray must have known these books existed and were in possession of all the clergy in his diocese, or he could not have made that book a book of questions for the conference of his diocese. Now another proof, another collateral evidence of the truth of Coyne's statement occurs in this, that afterwards —and five years after—Dr. Murray and the three bishops of the province of ',chaster made it a conference book for the whole province; therefore, I sea', it must have existed in the province, it must have been circulated through the province in the possession of tlitclergy, and the bishops must have con sidered it to be so, or they could not have made it a conference book. Now these are so matey collateral proofs of the truth o f Mr. Coyne's st a t ement w hi c h have never been denied. Now, consider some more points, consider that all these proofs, direct and collateral. are from the very best friends—the very best supporters of the Roman catholic church. (Hear.) Consider Mi. Coy ne's direct assertion of the fact that three thousand copies were commanded to be printed—that is, copies for ell the ecclesiastics in Ireland—for the number is calculated -to be three thousand. Now, we know very well—every bookseller knows—that if an experiment was to be made in the sale of a book, that two hundred and fifty, or five hundred, or seven hundred and fifty, or at ties very utniost a thousand copies would lie too much to Make au experiment on the public taste for even theologians. Bet here was aneommand to print three thousand copies, so that there could have been nn experiment, the sale must have been secured by command of the bishops, or it is im possible Mr. Coyne could ever have expended such a-coin as he was obliged to expend in the publication of that book,' (Cheers.) Now, you will observe that this collateral evidencels wholly un intentional. Mr.. Wyn never thought of-corrohoratinn by his appendix the statement of Mr. Coyne as to the mseembling of the bishops on this very Ilan. The bishop never imagined by toss rehsrence to their resolution of the 14th September, 1808, in their resolutions of the 25th of February, 1810, that they were corisiboratiug the statement of Mr, Coyne us to Dens' The ology. (Hear, hear.) Dr. Lanigan. never thotight that his rewrote- for the violation of a p ro mi tse wou ld b e traced to the very hook that he analhis brother bishops h a d a d opte d as a standard two months before. Mr. Woods never intended by his qmitanon from the minutes of Alavnooth to prove the very opposite of what he intended to establish, and to throw light on tne part that he had endeavoured to disprove. Dr. Murray con f e r e n ce ',mac of his diocese in 1825, that h e was prov i ng, never dreamt when he was appointing D ens ' Th eology f or t i le and that his questions would be brought to light to prove that this book was set up by his brother bishops seventeen tears before as the standard fur the clergy. Mr Wo o d s , w h en h e was wr i t i ng :the beading of the provincial conferences in 1831, never thought that he was proving the same troth and establishing, by addi tional evidence, the statement of Coyne. Di.. Murray and the three provincial bishops were also entirely i nnocent of the in tention of corroborating this statement by their appointment of the book for the conferences twenty-three %ears after. For, observe, these arc the conference questions fits /831, before the 'second edition of Dens' was published on t h e strength oft he edi tion which had been already publi s h e d i n obedience to the com mands of all the biainips in 1808. Now I say wen Mr. Woods wrote that heading in the year 1831, and published these ques tions of conterenee, he very little thought that they would be brought out before this meeting in 1835. (Hear.) Dr:Mutray. - and the three provincial bishops, when th e y made that confer ence book for -their province. had very littl e id ea the doe' woul d come where the whole questions. of conference shOUld "be pro duced against therm Now this eviden ce , unintentionally from the insist devoted friends of th e It oinnn catholic church, corroborates the statement of Mr. Coyn e b eyon d the possibility of doubt. Now consider, not only the per sons from whom this evidence comes, but consider the persons b e f ore w h em t hi s b ook came, el which you have heard so much. It is now necessary to explain the nature of this hawk as a directory of the Roman y catholic priests. It is a bunk in whirl, are their offices, which they tire obliged to read every day the earn -that i s , p or ti ons of the breviary and of the scriptures are marked here for them. And be it observed, they are marked on cypher, so that no one can understand their meaning except a priest, arid until the di rectories were brought out this year they were probably never in the bands of any ores but a Roman catholic priest, because no one could. undesstend them. To this directors' Mr. Coyne's catalogue is annexed. Now consider before whom this would come? It comes before every Boman catholic bishop and priest in Ireland, for they are obliged to have this book' in their undtir the penalty of mortal sin, before the first of Janii ary. and to have it in their hands every day until December; so that this book came before all the hierarchy and priesthood of Ireland. Now consider how lung this same advertisement is THE LIVBRPOOL STANDARD. repeated ?n 18.33,34 end 35 ; and these facts their bishops have never denied, nor have they bean denied by any one else tram the time they were brought out until now. This corroborates the truth of Coyne's statement as to Dens"rheology. (Cheers.) Now there are two other statements on the subject which 1 shall not much insist on, because they cannot be considered as coin lug trout persons friendly to 'them. All these came fimn friends, and there can be no question on their part as to their truth. In addition to this evidence, Or. Notate a Roman catholic priest, who has left the church of Rome and become a member of the church of Flu,gland, states that this book, though not used as a class bunk, was in the college of Maynooth. Mr. Croly says in ipostscript to his second pamphlet, "that the Theology of Peter Dane, which is now before the world, is a standard work of Irish Roman catholic orthodoxy, and of Roman catholic orthodoxy universally. It was published in Ireland and on the Continent in the customary way, peimissu euperioritm, with the full sanction and approbatien of episcopal authority. No exception was ever taken to it in whole or in part. It was printed Ireland ex pressly for the use of the Irish catholic priests, to be their guide in casuistry and speculation. In the library of Dr. Murphy's seminary in Cork there were fifty or sixty copies of it for the use of the seminary and the diocesan clergy. It should be re marked here that Dens is not singular in his doctrine respect ing heretics. Every Roman catholic theologian, who has written on the same subject coincides with Dens. This 'natter shall be handled in my next publication." (Hear.) Here is the evidence of Mr. Croly. Be it remembered that he is a priest in Cork. He states this fact,—that fifty or sixty copies of this book were in the bishop's library. Now, these ate the facts, direet and collateral, that prove Mr. Coyne's statement respecting Dens in 1808. We How pass to the next edition of Dens, which was published in 1832 : and I would en treat your attentiou to the direct and collateral evidence to be adduced on this subject. We -have, also, here a direct state meat of the bookseller, " that the work is now very rare and scarcely to be Met with." This is in the year 1832 Though he had published 30(YJ copies iu 1808; " the work is very rat e and scarcely to be met with, and, inasmuch as his grace Dr. -Murray. Dr. Doyle, Dr. Keating, and Dr. Kinsella have made it the conference book for the clergy of the province of Leins ter, the publisher, as well to obviate the difficulty experienced by them in procuring the work as also to advance the cause of religion and Morality in 'the other parts of the Irish church, is induced to reprint a limited number of copies." " An addi tional volume, which is now, fdr the first time, annexed to the present edition, contains encyclical letters of the sovereign pontiffs &c., bearing on the subjects contained in the work, as also the Constitutions of Benedict XIV, in which he has de finded questions formerly controverted among divines, and wherein he has, decided subjects principally regarding moral theology.—The supplementary triaiter - übove referred to, has been added with the sanction anti approbation of his Grace the Most Rev. Dr. Murray." Now, observe; he States that these four bishops had instehs it the coufereuce boei of the cleisti,‘ of the whole proVinee. Ho states that these bistiopsand the clergy found a difficulty in procuring the work, anti in ordetto obviate this difficulty he says that he - rrtiblislies a second edition, in or der to advance the cause - tif ieligion and morality in the other parts of Ireland. And I firmly believe that Mr. Coyne made that statement in the honest integrity of his heart; that he did believe that that book which had been so eulogised by his bishop must be a book calculated to advance the cause of reli gion and morality; and for this cause he says he printed a limited number of espies, but that number (I have it from Mr. Coyne's own lips) was 3,000. Now, he makes another state ment. In 1808 there were only seven volumes of the books printed; in 1832, there were eight volumes printed.' Now, mark what he states: an additional volume is now for the first time published, and that volume contains the constitutions of Benedict XIV, in which he has " defined questions formerly controverted among divines ;" he save that it also contains the whole of the epitome of the canonical' and thoral doctrine of Be nedict XIV, carefully selected from his bulls and constitutions. Then, he says, the supplementary volume referred to, viz. this Bth volume, has received the sanction of his grace the most Rev. Dr. Murray. This is Mr. Coyne's statement. (Hear.) Now consider what collateral proofs we have to establish this direct statement of the bookseller: we have first the book in which the statement is made. This is, as I stated before, the Priests' Di rectory. Now do you believe it possible, that a man could state to a body of clergy in a whole province, that their bishops had made a certain book—a conference book for them, it he had not done so? (Hear.) Would it be possible for a man living in the metropolis under the very sanction of the archbishop of the province, whore clergy were coming every day into his shop— would it be possible that he could make a statement to them that they were to take their conference from a certain book if it was not so? I say the advertisement of the fact by the booksel ler—and the advertisement alone—would be conclusive proof to a man of common sense. But consider the manner in - which this is stated :—ha adds in the advertisment of 1832.—" Clergymen who may feel disposed to possess the work are request e d t o send their names to the pub lisher, or to the following booksel lers.' He then gives a list of booksellers. Observe now to whom it was addressed; Clergymen, and these clergymen were directed to booksellers in seventeen cities and towns of every province of Ireland, Ulster, Munster, Connaught, and Leinster. (Cheers.) Now we go to authenti ca t e th e f ac t o f hi s ' statement from the internal evidence of the book itself. He says that the eighth volume for the first time is now annexed to the first edi tion "bearing on the subjects contained in the work." lie mark that the eighth volume " bears on the subjects contained in the work." I open the eighth volume. I find in this eighth volume ninety-three references which I have carefully counted over, ninety-five references of the different constitutions, bulls, and letters of the pope. (When the pope speaks ex cathedra hitedecitions are of infallible authority in the Church of tome) I Lind ninety-three references to all the preceding volumes of Peter Dens"rheotogy. It proves this fact, that the work has been carefully studied by the most able Roman catholic divines, and that the infallible authorities of the Roman catholic pon tiffs have been collected and condensed in this volume for the purpose of giving not only authenticity but infallible authenti city to the doctrines contained in Dens. (Cheers.) Then again, I open the volumes of Peter Deus, and find on the title-page of every single one of the preceding volumes this advertisement. —Theologia moralis et dogmatics re.verentli et erutlitissimi Do 'mini Petri Dens, Editio nova et absolutissirna.—mark, most ab solute--most authoritative why ? The reason is given because. established by the infallible authoßity contained iu the eighth. volutne—Liimoietiirinie f —Quippe cai none primum accetinut 14.:pitorne ex operihus lienedicti XIV. .necoon et varho suinmoruni Poutificum vein ejus dent Poutificis Constitutioues Literte Encyclicce, &c. The book is headed on the title-page of every single one of the volumes as " most absolute" and " most conclusive," because now, for the first time, are added to it the extracts from the work of Peter Dens, and also of various popes. These infaili bin records give it authority, (loud cheering, and cries of "One cheer morel") and be it remembered that this eighth volume is declared by Coyne to be added under the sanction and approba tion of Dr. Murray; and be it also remembered that Mr. Woods, Dr. Murray's own secretary, has not only acknow ledged, but asserted the same fact. We now come to other and direct evidence calcruated to establish beyond all doubt the truth of Covne's statement. Here is the dedication to Dr. Murray, of which you have heard so much, and which is not to be found in all the copies :—" Reverendissimo, in Deo Patri, etc Domino, D. Danieli Murray. * * * Hanc secundam Erlitionem Theologies P. Dens Ejus cum approhatione sus ceptam," &c. &c. Dr. Murray has stated in one of his own letters that the dedication stands very conspicuous in his own copy; and is it to be supposed that the doctor would allow that dedication to stand in his awn copy , declaring that th e thin g was under his own approbation, iit were not so. (Hear.) Now we have an addition to ibis, if we wanted any snore infal lible proofs. (Laughter.) We have infallible proofs enough here of the four dioceses (4'32, '33, '3l, and '35; here they are. In these five directories we have the questions of conferente regularly marked out, beginning in the first volume of Peter Dens, page 144, and regularly continued in regular successive order, chapter after chapter, page after page, through the first volume, second volume, and to the middle volume of Peter Dens's Theology, which these gentlemen ha ve h a d f or t h e i r conference all these years. We have the successive pages of Dens's Theology and the heading of the chapters correspond ing to the questions, so that there cannot be the slightest sha dow of doubt to any man who can read Latin. He reads the questions and lie reads the chapters in Dens, which are answers to those questions. Now I just simply propose this one ques tion; I piopose it to this auditory-1 propose it to the gentlemen of the press of whom I have spoken—if this be no evidence of a fact, 1 should be glad to know what is? (Loud cheering.) I shoul.l be glad if any gentleman of literary distinction—any of the editors of the English press-1 should be glad if they would produce any one fact is history or in the present day more clear, more conclusive, more utterly unanswerable than this is. (Cheers.) As to the miserable pretence that, though the questions were taken from Peter Dens, the answers were out, 1 shall beg leave to ask any child in this assembly, if there' be any here, if they ever got questions from Gough which they were obliged to answer front \roster. I would ask any senior wrang lers, if each there be here, if they were ever asked questions from Newton's Principle, which they were to answer from La Place. (Laughter.) If any gentleman can point out any such course of iustructive questious in theology, in science, in any depart ment of literature, that are to he g iven from one h o ok a nd to be answered from another book, wh y then we shall say there is certainly another absurdity in the world equal t o th e one I have stated. (Loud cheering and laughter.) Now, the next point I would submit to the meeting is this, that in the last place, in the way of proof, every fair opportunity that could be afforded has been afforded to those persons who consider their principles impugned by those statements of comiug forward to meet them. The ad vertisenseu t which was signed by twenty of the Irish clergy, of whom I myself was the most insignificant—signed by the Dean - of Sta Patrick's ; the Dean of Clogber t . the Dean of Ardagh, and a great many other clergymen—l say that ether tisement was exhibited for the special purpose of giving notice to the Roman Catholic bi s h o p s In genera l, an d to Dr. Murray, Roman Catholic Bishop of Dublin, in particular, that they might avail themselves of the opportunity of attending that. meeting. Now, a nu m b er o f opportunities 'have been afforded to them, but as Dr. Murray, in one of his letters addressed t o some gentleman in Worcester, stated that his calumniators, as he was pleased to call us; went to a distance, • I felt it my duty to write a letter to Dr. Murray, in which i recapitulated the op portunities he had had of meeting the fi lets and contradicting' them if he could, a nd I f e l t i t my duty to give him another op portnnity. You will not, I hope, consider it a piece of impro per egotism if 1 submit this letter, as containing a condensed view of those opportunities, to your consideration. (Cheers.) Indeed I pledged myself to do so. As I am suffering at pre sent, and indeed almost always tinder a weakness of the throat, I trust I need not offer any apology to this meeting, if they wish lermit me to request my rev. brother, Mr. 11PNeill; to read the etter. (Imineuse cheerin, which coutinned suns time.) The Rev. Houk IVI'NEILL t hen came forFard and said, that he very gladly responded to the call of his rev. friend. He was willing . to give - him any assistance in his power, by reading some of the document:l -y evidence that he wished to lay before the meeting, (Cheers.) Before, however, he read the letter put into his hands, he hoped he might be permitted to occupy a few minutes of tbei r valuable time in stating his reasons for cordially taking a part in the proceedings of the day.— Should this,however, be attended with any inconvenient interruption to the friend's statements. he would gladly postpone it, or tvaive the privilege altogether. Mr. M`Ghets having Leggett the rev. gentleman to proceed, he continued —that in the presence of the living God, end before the Lord Jesus Christ, who shall judge the quilt and the dead at his appearing in his kingdom, and surrounded by this vast con course of his fellow countrvm..n, he disclaimed fromlds soul all par. tieipation in the motives which had been attributed to them in hold ing the present and similar meetings. (Cheers.) He disclaimed all intention of making such occasions subservient to the upholding and perpetuating abuses in the Established Church. Ile hated abuses, which were Droved to he such. He protested against them, and la boured for their removal as cordially and as honestly as any reformer in England. (Cheers.) But he also hated measures, by whomsoever introducud, which, without liming at any reform of any abuse, go at one fell swoop to do away with the principle of an established church altogether. (Hear.) He would not allow himself to enlarge upon this topic, as he had unfeignedly a desire to he very brief. His rea so-is, then, for mostgladly co-operating in the proceedings connected with the meetiwrs were—first, because he behoved that his fellow countryme n required information upon the subject before them; se condly, he believed that they were desirous ofreceivtng that informa tion ; and thirdly. because he knew there was valuable information to be given. They- hail valet:hie historical information to communicate u p on one subject, concernin g which there existed a wide-spread decep tion. It is reiterated with the utmost confidence. and gloried in with the highest triumph on one sides .nd it was heedlessly and habitually as sented to without examination on the other, that the Roman Catholic persuasitin of christianitv was the primitive relhion, the only religion in 'Europe for the first fifteen centuries of tl.e eliristian era. Nothing could he more opposed to the facts of the ease than that fallacious and mischievous statement. (Rear.) Historical proofs abounded clear and conclusive of the existence, in the South of Europe, and in our 0,911 favoured island, of primitive scriptural christiantty many cen turies before the peculiarities of the papacy, as it is now exhibited, were ever heard of. (Cheers.) Christianity was known in thitain, well known, and British bishopa were in attendance at the councils of the christian church centuries before the bishop of Rome attempted to usurp supremacy over his brother bisliops, or lay claim to hat in fallibility in dispensing with the obligations of the law of Gad which identifies him with " Intel of sin." But they are asked, why not keep quiet and allow protestants a n d R oman ca th o li cs t o go on toge ther an peace—to live together, and to die together—that led to ano ther and the only additional reason which he should now assign for taking part in proceedings like the present—they could not' with out treachery the most barbaroui to their fellow souls if their fellow men live in hollow peace with a system which erects itself in hostility against the perfection of the law of God, and against the perfectn of our Saviour. (Hear.) The law of God is perfect, and any sin the transgression of the law—the wages of sin, if any sin, is death. If a man, saith the apostle lames, keep the whole.law, and yet offend in one point, he is guilty of all. (Cheers.) Here, then, in the light of the perfection of the law of our God, there is no pretext for the dis astrous judgment of the differences between mortal and moral sins, without which differences the idol temple of the soul-destroying delu sion of popish confession, and absolution and penance crumbles to dust. (Loud cheers,) The gospel of our Saviour is as perfect as the law of our God. In that gospel, full, full as well as free forgiveness of sin—of all sin by the bleod o. Jesus—is proclaimed to everyone that tedieveth—there is no condemnation to Vim that are in Christ Jesus. Here again is the light of the perfection of the gospel of our Re deemer, there Is nothing left for purgatory to tecomplidi ; and with out a purgatory held out in mingled hope and fear, the blasphemous altar, the popish mass, with all the lying wonders of transubstantia tion, crumble Into dust. (Cheers.) Thus they show the Roman ca tholic system in direct hostility against the law and the gospel, and how then could they wonder that the bible which contained both law and gospel should be a suspected, and when practicable without ex posure, a prohibited book. (Hear.) Had they then any chance. Ivel i • they not bound to protest against such a system ? He would now proceed to read his Rev. Friend's letter to Dr. 'Murray, dated Septem ber 24, 1e35. The Rev. Gentleman having read the letter, which has already appeared in all the new.papers, proceeded to say, that they owed their Rev. Brother (Mr. l)f•Ghee) a debt of sincere gratitude for making these exposures, because the present policy of the Roman catholic hierarchy is denial in England of what they are at the the same time inculcating in Ireland. From the light of the protestant community in Great Britain they would fain hide the hideous mon sters which they exhibited in gigantic apiensions before the terrified and enslaved superstition of their deluded' follewers in Ireland. But it would not do. It lived in their recollection that when Bishops Latimer and Ridley were led oat to the stake at Oxford, when the iron chains were girded about their middles! and fastened an the ground by a staple, when the kindled faggot was brou g ht and laid down a t Dr. Ridley's feet, Latimer addressed his bro ther martyr in these words—" Be of coot? comfort Master Ridley, and. play the man, we shall light such a candle by God's :grace this day in England as I trust shall never he put out,','--(Cheers.) The confidence-of this suturing servant of God wee prophetic—there was indeed a period when appearances were.against It. It seemed as if supposed security and consequent stipineneis on one hand, and artful and anti-christian liberalism on the other, had conspired to put an extinguisher upon the . candle of scriptural protestantism. But that period had passed away, the generosity of a nation which knew the blessings of civil liberty, and knew not the evil genius of popery, con ferred upon the Roman Catholics such privileges as have led to greSsion, provoking such a recoil as bids fair to rouse England from her lethargy, to snuff our candle, abd while some personswere boast ing that the no-popery cry is dying away, ill dissembling their fears ; but if they again come to life, behold it again brighter, and will go forth on thu increased intriligenCe and education eta at protestant people :no longer is a candle put as a brilliant gaa-lightliearn ing across the length and breadth of our land ; and the voice whiCh goes forth from the prodigious assembly of that day saying, "No-popery," shall be responded to from city , after city, and town after tow n , e ac h ca ll answering,. " Noliopery. ' Tho Rev, gentleman concluded amid loud cheers. Mr. Al•Gtiort then resumed and was received with continued cheering.—l trust it does appear from the letter which my rev. brnfiser has read that it has been my desire to act honestly by Dr. ,hurray, and not to send forth any calumnies against him which I was not to the best of my judgment ready to establish in his presence. I can truly and conscientiously say that I have not in any statement I have made ever perverted or exaggerated one single fact that has come to my knowledge; but I have en deavoured in the plainest simplicity of truth to state to others what plainly struck my own mind; and when we speak of the cry of "no popery," I can truly say —what I would say to the whole nation—what I would say to an individual Roman ca tholic--my friend, I say no popery, not to injure, but to serve von—l would say no popery to your conscience—l would say no popery to you, as I would say no trial, no pain, no sorrow, no death to you—from which the hand of a friend and brother could rescue_ you in the name of the Lord Jesus Christ. (Loud cheering.) That is the only no popery cry that I desire to raise to my Roman catholic friends—a cry of fidelity and a cry of christian love. (Applause.) For there is no ground on which a man can stand before God in exposing the errors of any reli gion but the ground on which the apostle stood, that is fidelity to their God and love to their fellow-men. And if we are called protestants the only' legitimate reason fur the name is, that we protest against errors, but that we love the men. (Hear, hear.) Now, to this letter Dr. Murray has made a reply in a letter which, I suppose, you have all read, for it has been universally published in every paper on every side. That letter addressed to the protestants of Great Britain, it becomes my duty to offer a few remark s on some o f it s passages whi c h b ear on the subject. Beloved fellow Christians—My humble name has been tradcoed before vou ; and what I feel more acutely, the divine :religion which • I profess has been held up to your view in colours to truly odious, that if they were a faithful representation of it, the , disgusting picture would justly merit your execration. You are lovers of justice, you are slow to decide upon partial statements, I rely, therefore, with confidence upon your patient attention, while I dissipate the illusion which has been practised upon you. This is a most important admission from Dr. Murray. He states that if the representation made to you of his religion were true, the disgusting pretence would justly merit your execra tion. Now let me ask whence have the colours beets derived in which this picture has been drawn ? What is the attitude in which it his,been placed so as to merit the execrations of the public? The colours hare been derived from that source which all the Irish bishops have declared to be the best for their priests to take their instructions, and from which Dr. Murray and his provincial bishops have dray n the conferences for their respec tive diocesses. Let it he remembered that the hardest expres sions that have been used of popery—the expressions which Dr. Murray admits as execrable if they he true, are those which have beeu read out before the public from his own book of confer . ences, Den's Theology. Dr. Murray does not venture to ari se er the charges contained in my letter, hot he replies by seve ral epithets, that are n o t very complimenta r y t o m y se lf ; he says I am obscure, intemperate, bigoted, without reach of understand ing, narrow minded, cunning, only not deranged, and guilty of falsehood. I should be extremely.sorry to justify practically the Doctor's imputations, by any attempt to vindicate myself from these charges, any further than they relate to the point in quest inn. I dare say they may in many parts be well founded. One who knows use far I , etter than Dr. Murray has given this description of me, that my " heart is - ifeceitfoi above all things, and desperately wicked"—this I can say and feel is true, and when we are teeny acquainted with the evils of our own hearts, we shall not hwvory solicitous to vindicate ouiselves from such im putations. But besides, I should be exceedingly sorry, as far as I am personally concerned, to deprive the d oc t or o f any b ene fi t to be derived from this line of argument ; but surely it ought to strike him that the contemptibility of an accuser facilitates the task of refutation, and if a charge coating., from such a poor eou temptible creature is not to be met and answered, how over whelming must be the accusation—how tremendous must be its truth! (cheers) Indira is so formidable in such pony hands as mine, what would it be in the bands of a man who possessed all the qualities in which lam so lamentably deficient ? Alluding to our invitation to the bishops to come to oar meeting in Lon don, he says, " Now pause and consider the nature of this pro ceeding. Were I or any number of catholic clergymen to' summon the Bishop of London or any of his right rev. brethren to suspend his pastoral duties, and to come over to Dublin or to Cork, or to Galway, or at least to send some duly authorised per son to appear in his name to answer before a public meeting of catholics some charge that would lie there exhibited against him, would you not stare at the matchless effrontery which could have suggested such a proposal ? Would you not rather believe that the man who could venture to announce it must be labouring under some strane mental aberration ?" Now I will answer Dr. Murray's questions; he does not put a case exactly parallel, but 1 will give him one that is so. Let me suppose that the Archbishop of Dublin,-instead of Sitting down with D r. Murray, as I reg re t t o sa y h e d oes , t o th e grea t dishonour of the protestant church, to mutilate the word of the holy God (loud cheers) and to set up the principle that that sa cred word is not to be the standard for the education of the country. (Loud cheers.) I say this, that Dr. Murray may know, and that all men may know, that I contend against false principles, not against men; for, whether amen be a protestant archbishop or a catholic archbishop who pvesuirses to maintain that the word of the living God is not to be held up as the autho ritative standard of man's instruction from the cradle to the grave, I will lift my feeble voice against that principle. (Loud cheers.) I say, then, if the Archbishop of Dublin were to run from the extreme of superstition to that of persecution—if he were to propose to his clergy in secret conferences the princi ples by which he would establish that they were to compel Roman catholics by corporal punishments to become proles tauts, to confiscate their property, to drive them into prison or exile, and to put them to death whenever it was expedient for them to carry their principles into execution—(bear, bear,) — if the Roman catholic clergy could discover this and could pro cure books and documents which proved the fact, and were to call on the Archbishop of Dubliu, to stand forward and vindi cate himself born such a charge—if he were unable to do su and were guilty he would deserve to be stript of his mitre for his crime, and if he could vindicate himself and refused to do se he would deserve to be stripped of it for his pusillanimity in not wiping off such a stain from hinisdlf and his religion. (Loud Cheers.) The doctor's charge of cunning is based on a sin gular foundation ; he says—" He had enough of that low cunning which belongs to narrow minds to perceive that such a summons, from such a quarter, and to such a place, would be in any manner either personally or by deputy attended to, and that he would therefore be enabled to advance such statements us would suit his purpose without the risk of centred iction. But, to make assurance doubly sure, it was ar ranged that no otie should -- be allowed to open his lips fur the purpose of coutroverting those statements without a written au thority-from the accused parties to plead in their defence, an authority which ti well knew no. bishop would stoop to grant." Here, I must remark, Dr. Murray makes a mistake. It is not the fact that no person was allowed to open his lips without au thority from the bishops, for an exception was made, the most favourable that could be to Roman ratholics—Mr. O'Connell was specially invited by a letter in the publi c print s t o come t o Bx.ter-hall'and apply all his legal ability to disprovo, if he was able, the charges advanced against. his bishops, .(cheers,) bet 'IL. O'Connell did not venture to make the attempt ; he called us mountebanks, indeed, in the. House of Corn mous, but did not dare to meet us on the platform. (Loud cheers.) Now, then, to what does Dr. Murray's charge of cunning ou this ground amount ? A nian makers a public charge—selects the most public place in the empire—invites the accused party to answer if he pleases—calls on the most able champion of his cause to come forward if he can in bis. defence, and this is ail sheer cunning 1 . —why ? I knew the bishops would nut stoop to vin dicate themselves—that is, I was so cunning I calculated on the dignity of Dr. Murray! ! and the diffidence of Mr. O'Connell!.!'! (Immense cheering.) How far my sagecitv was conspicuous in calculating on the diffidence of Mr. O'Connell I am sure it is un necessary to point out to this meeting--(cheers)—but it may not be self-evident its my calculation on the dignity of Dr. Murray. Let as see bow far I might have been justified in my calcula tion. Dr. Murray could not stoop to vindicate himself either in person or by deputy in Exeter Hari, but h. stooped to write to Lord Melbourne to say he had not made this a cenference book, while his own sccretatv proved him to have done so. He stooped to abjure to him, Gy . quoting his oath, the principles which he has sworn to maintain to the latest hour of his exist ence. He stooped to write to some unknown gentleman in Worcester, complaining that his calutnniatora went to a dis tance, but he _would not stoop to meet them at home. Ile stooped to write to the editor of Barrow's (i'orcester Joutnal. He stooped to write to Mr. James, at Hereford. He has stooped in reply to the distinct and specific charges which you have heard in my letter to write this address to the protestants of the enkpire, and to apply vituperative language to Mr. O'Sullivan and to use without answering or even venturing to notice one single charge from beginning to CR. of it all! NoW reality I did not presunie to calculate tar the extent of Dr. Murray'. humility; but had I ventured to do so, I could never have anticipated such a total prostration of all episcopal dignity, and such a remark able stretch of episcopal condescension. (Inithensv cheariug.) . But though the doctor does not answer these charges, Ire breaks up souse now ground for himself; he gives a description of the .first meeting at Exeter-hall. He seys :--" Well, the important day arrived when the mighty disclosure was to be made, the workings of popery were to lie revealed, the hidden things of darkness were to be brought to light; the dangers which hung over the protestant religion were to be put in full relief; the public expectation was wound up to the highest pitch ; in sheet, the mountain was in labour,—and lo! the ridicules ;sus that made its appearance was the hitherto concealed work of Peter Dens—a work. of popish intolerance which was exhibited to the wondering audience as a grand discovery just then provideu- Orr° RER 30, I S3r) tially tfrought light."

Of this description is his opinion with regal" ~ ( 4 , * punishments of the crime of heresy, which the eatboht'bee; Ireland have for many years disavowed.

Now, it is here th e " het portant to mark the principle which Dr. Murray prefeolee to establish. The question is whether the doctrines of the 1 11. eic'e ments of heresy are, as DI. Murray here asserts, mere cal-J'e!o opinions, or whether they are established on the laws which Dr. Murray is sworn to observe. Now, 1 flag, els' Dr. Murray's assertion respecting Den s . I ass ert that hi!: ate ciples on this subject are not casuistical but that th ye i established on laws which Dr. Murr a y has sworn to ° infallible, and now let us bring this to the proof. flereis e e t e' Dr. Murray's questions of his confe re nce f o r 183'2 „' t f e ft° believers to be compelled to join themselves to the bese' l berh. faithful?" Now what is the answer to this ques!iou and on what authority is it established? To the que',„t "Baptised infidels, as het etics and apostates ate wont also baptised scitisrnatics can be compelled even by 0. ,L punishments to return to the catholic faith and the ustilY ' , t ies; church. The - reaeon is, that they by baptism are made s u o si i of the church, and so the church has jurisdiction over th em ,, the power of compelling them by the appointed means t° ence., and to fulfil the obligations connected in their bgi e d This ie also true in the case of those who have been shpt" bit their infancy, or who, compelled throu g h f ear or any ueli e e have received baptism."
