Fanny Kelly, an elderly woman,' was brought up on a charge of havinn , stolen a niece of merino, the property of Messrs. E. and A Lewis, drapers, of Ranelagh-street. The merino in question was placed on the top of a pile of others, ►►►side the shop door, and the prisoner went to look at them. Hurley, a messenger at the Town-hall, was in the street at the time, .and he saw the prisoner take down one piece and Put it into her gown, which was wrapped round her waist so as to form a sort of pocket ; he followed her into Church street and apprehended her, when he t<►und the property in her possession. Five shillings in silver were also found upon her. Hurley was in the act of taking her back to the shop when he met Mr. Lewis, who had come in search of her, having in the meantime discovered the robbery. The priso ner strongly denied the charge. She was committed for trial at the nest sessions.

A spacious marquee was erected in the garden of the hotel, in which the flowers, fruit, &c., were exhibited. At the top of the room, on a stage, were displayed the royal initials, surmounted by life in e pro 'or the egal crown. The effect was extremely good, the Whole being composed of dahlias, flowers, Sc. The pillars of the tent were profusely decorated with evergreens and flow ers, as well as other parts of the building. A great deal of company visited the show, considering the threatening state of the weather. Many ladies graced the meeting with their presence. We never saw a finer.display of fruit or vegetables, either for size or excellence of quality. Taking the exhibition altogether, it was one of the very best, per haps, that has taken place this year. On the stage were some beautiful flowers, contributed by Messrs. Skirving and other gentlemen in the neighbourhood, consisting of seve ral varieties of fuchsias, camellias japonicas, &c. There were two orange trees, one of which being in bloom, shed around a most exquisite perfume. We saw several single ladies e yi ng " t h e orange bl ossoms " with smiling looks. Anumu ' st the vegetables we obser ve d a fi ne spec i men of the silver beet, or earde poiree. This root is, we understand, all excellent substitute for the sea kale. The flavour is ex cellent. The root was exhibited by Messrs. Whalley. We noticed also seine fine Guernsey lilies. The apples were re markably fine. The dahlias we never saw equalled. This beautiful flower, although comparatively so lately introduced into this country, has taken strong hold on the attention of (bleed. florists, and every year some new v ar i e t y an d b eauty i s pro- The amateur collection which won the cup excited great admiration.

EXCHANGE WARD Last evening a meeting of the electors of this ward took Place at the British Hotel, Moodieids, for the purpose of "dopting measures to secure the return of Thos. Sands, Esq. to the council. The room was completely filled, and the utmost unanimity and enthusiasm prevailed. Mr. Sands was wa rt -1 greeteu on entering the room. D.

Mr. SANDS then presented himself to the meeting, and r.as received with tremendous cheering. He said that it was gratifying to him to find himself received in such a good old tlnglish fashion, as it was a proof that his ut al 't conduct and his principles were approved of.

Mr. JOHN WALKER SCCODded the. resolution. Mr. BYFORD proposed the next resolution, which was se conded by Mr. HORNE, to the effect that a committee be fanned forthwith for the purpose of carrying the former re solution into effect. Mr. Byford commented upon Mr. Wood's address, and also upon the fact of the cellar popu lation being put upon the registry by the radicals. He then ably and energetically called upon the meeting to support Mr. Sands, and declared his conviction that the operatives were for the most part . conservatives, and were as warmly attached to the cause as the richest men in the kingdom. Mr. ISAAC HOLMES proposed the next resolution, to the effect that the meeting earnestly requested the attendance at Pie Sessions-house of those electors who had been objected t U by their radical opponents, and called upon each conser vative elector to use his influence to induce such parties to a ppear at the revision, and substantiate their right of voting at the el ec ti on i n N ovem b er .

He then dwelt upon Pe expulsion of the 'Bible from the schools, and alluded to the expression of Mr. O'Connell at the late meeting on the '°bject of the Welsh. Mr. Holmes then commented upon th e numerous objections made by the radicals, and hoped that every man who was objected to would not fail to be pre- Sent to substantiate his claim. Mr. RowLANns seconded motion in a brief but stir ri ng , address, recommending M the r.

GREAT PROTESTANT MEETING AT THE AMPHITHEATRE, Last evening a large and enthusiastic concourse of the shipwrights, coopers, and other classes of the free burgesses of Liverpool, was held at the Amphitheatre, for the purpose of forming at: Auxiliary Protestant Association for the di trict of Toxteth Park, where the "old freemen" of Liver pool are chiefly resident. The meeting was announced to take place at half-past six o'clock ; but long before that hour the whole of the vast building was crowded in every part. In the pit and boxes, as well as on the raised seats behind the platform, there were a great number of respectably dressed females, and not a few ladies, nearly the whole of whom wore conservative favours, thus testifying their attach ment to the " good old cause," in defence of which the free burgesses of Liverpool have stood forth so nobly and con- The galleries also contained a sprinkling of spicuously females On the platform there were numbers of the ship_ wrights, dressed in their blue jackets and white trousers, which looked remarkably well. They also wore party coloured ribbons and scarfs. The Amphitheatre. was pro fusely decorated with red and blue flags. Over the chair was suspended a splendid royal standard, surrounded by the in scriptions of " For God, our Queen, and our Country," and " Success to the Shipwrights." The following were among the gentlemen whom we ob served on the platform :—Rev. H. H. Higgins, Rev. Mr. Falloon, Rev. W. C. Richards, and Rev. C. HaMilton ; Messrs. Duncan Gibb, T. 0. Cooper, P. Wright, C. Boutflower, W. G. Leete, W. Rowett, Francis Foster, Wm. Sharpe, John Peacock, C. H. Horsfall, Thos. Porter, Harbord, John Wright, Robertson, Hall. Amon the ladies in the private boxes we observed Mrs. Hugh M`Neile and Miss Ward. The entrance of the Rev. Hugh M`Neile was the signal for a deafening and protracted peal of cheers. Mr. R. CLArtim, a shipwright, moved that the Rev. H. M`Neile take the chair. Mr. H. HUGHES, a pilot, seconded the motion, which was carried by acclamation The Rev. CHAIRMAN opening the meeting in the follow ing terms. We are sometimes charged with. inconsistency in opening a meeting which is mingled with much inevitable noise, and may be connected with many political topics, with prayer. The charge of inconsistency, however, does not rest upon us, for we are not among those who separate religion from politics. (Cheers.) We believe that the affairs of this world, as truly as the aftliirs of the world to come, are under the immediate direction of our God. (Cheers.) In his word it is written of him, " In all thy ways acknowledge him, and he will direct thy steps." (Hear, hear.) This has ever been the practice of our country in her great politi cal meetings. The parliament of Great Britain is always opened with prayer.• (Hear.) Let the charge of inconsis tency then fall back upon the heads of those who would banish the Lord our God from the providential management of the world. (Cheers.) I shall therefore call upon a rev. brother now near Inc, to open this meeting, with asking God's blessing upon us, and all our fellow countrymen, through Jesus Christ our Saviour. (Cheers.) The Rev. Mr. Ractimlns offered several appropriate prayers The Rev. C NIRM AN then proceeded as follows and fellow townsmen—l rejoice in your determination as e..- pressed in the requisition you have sent me, to form your selves into a branch of the Protestant Operative Association. (Cheers.) And 1 very cordially comply with the request made to me by the members of your provisional committee, that I should be the president of your society, and your chairman, at this meeting this evening. It becomes my duty then to remind you, in the first place, of what the true and proper objects of our Protestant Associations are. (Hear, hear.) Tne objects I now read from a printed paper—from a circular of the Liverpool Protestant Association prepared some years ago. " The object of the Protestant Association is not to mis represent—not to calumniate—not to create or foment divi sions among our fellow-citizens—as we are unfairly reported, and as some affirm that we do. No ; our objects are of a different character, and may truly be classed under these two heads : first, to combine, in one Christian brotherhood of self-defence, all who truly love true religion and genuine liberty—all who sincerely advocate the free circulation of the unmutilated and the unadulterated word of God—all who assert and defend the right of private judgment—all who venerate the inviolable sanctity of an oath—all real loy alists, who maintain the unrivalled and universal supremacy of the King or Queen of England within these realms—that. renounce, abjure, and detest any allegiance whatever to any foreign power or potentate whatsoever. (Cheers.) Our second object is, to address ourselves, with earnest affection, to those of our fellow-citizens who have the misfortune still to labour under anti-scriptural and anti-national prejudices —who are denied the free circulation of the pure word of God, and the right of private judgment—who are taught that oaths, under certain circumstances, may and ought to be broken—and who are commanded to yield their first and highest allegiance to a foreign ecclesiastical authority."— (Cheers.) —Friends This second object presents us as the advocates—and I gladly now take my stand here as the advocate—of millions of my poor fellow-countrymen who are deprived of their A,rights. (Cheers.) I speak not here, or any where else, to find fault with those who have no choice of their own, and who•are deprived of their rights by tyrants over them. (Loud cheers.) I allege that this is the condition of some millions of our fellow-subjects and of my fellow-countrymen ; and I will, before we go further, supply you with a specimen or two of the rights to which I allude—the rights made theirs by the word of God, and of which they ought not to be deprived by any interference of man. One of the rights to which I allude, and which I trust my Christian auditors will know how to appreciate—for this is a christian meeting, and I know no difference between Protestantism and christianity, —(cheers)—one of the rights, I say, to which I allude is this—the right of receiving the cup in the supper of the Lord. (Hear.) It is commanded of our Lord Jesus Christ, " Drink ye all of this :" and if it be alleged that when he so said he spoke only of ministers of the Gospel, it is said of the Apostle Paul addressing an entire church—the Corinthian church—" as oft as ye eat of this bread and drink of this cup, yea do-show the Lo r d' s d ea th unt il h e comes. " (Hear.) It is their privilege not only to eat of that bread but to drink of that cup : I say here is a privilege of which millions of my fellow-countrymen are deprived—the cup is taken from, no opportunity is afforded them all the year round or all their lives through of obeying that commandment, of com plying with that instruction, and of enjoying that pri vilege of our common christianity. (Cheers.) And why so ? Not because the scriptures warrant that the cup should he kept from them. There is nothing of that kind in the scrip tures. I have shewn you that the scriptures command that the cup should be used by them ; and need we go beyond scripture for the proofs of our arguments ? (No, and cheers.) I recollect that our Lord himself—our great example in con troversy—when he held controversies with the Pharisees, and Sadducees, and Herodians, appealed only to the word—the written word. He told them that they had made it void by their traditions ; he did not take tradition by tradition, but he appealed only to the scriptures. (Cheers.) He did not attend to the objections now urged and which might have been urged then—" an appeal to the scriptures is but an exercise of private judgment, the Pharisee appeals to it, the Sadducees appeal to it, they differ in opinion, and therefore we must have something else besides the scriptures." No : our Saviour refers to nothing else, and following his example we need refer to nothing else. (Cheers.) It is the high principle of protestantism that we have the Word of God as the only standard of infallible authority, and that no opinion of man is infallible or can be infallible. (Cheers.) But sup pose we leave this vantage ground, and come down among the records of antiquity, what then ? I hold in my hand a book dear to Englishmen, and that ought to be known by Englishmen better than it is known—(cheers)—a book that I hope will be studied more than it has been, and especially I recommend it to my reverend friends, I :mean " Chilling worth upon the Religion of Protestants." (Loud cheers.) Chillingworth tells us the origin of the defrauding of our brethren of the cup which our Saviour desired they should have. The commencement of it was in the council of Con stance, and it is most remarkable that the men composing that council were of God to record their own condemnation. Here is the canon of the council, as given by Chillingworth— " Although Christ, after his supper, instituted and admi nistered this venerable sacrament under both kinds, although in the primitive church this sacrament was received by the faithful under both kinds ; yet all this, notwithstanding, this custom, for the avoiding of scandals, (to which the pri mitive church was as obnoxious as the present is) was upon just reason brought in that laics should receive only under one kind." So, although Christ ordained it in two kinds, although the primitive church received it in two kinds, yet the council of Constance brings it in that the laity should receive it only iu one kind. (Hear, hear.) Now, my friends, I say 1 stand here as the advocate of millions of my fellow countrymen who are deprived by the tyranny of an anti-Christian priesthood, of their scriptural rights, of their Christian birthright. (Cheers.) Ido not stand here to abuse, as they say I do, our Roman catholic fellow countryman, and our Roman catholic fellow subjects. (Hear.) Ido not abuse them, but I will tell you what I do—l take their part against their priests. (Loud cheers.) There is another right they are deprived of. It is the right of every man to have Christian instruction in the language that the man understands—(hear, hear)—to have Christian prayer in a language that the man understands. (Cheers.) Our own church says "Itis a thing plainly repugnant to the word of God and the custom of the primitive church, to hay . e public prayer in the church, or to minister the sacraments in a tongue not understanded of tfie people." Now, I say that these men who defraud our Roman catholic fellow countrymen of Christian prayer and Christian sacraments by saying the prayers in Latin and administering the sacraments in Latin—l say they are thieves and robbers. (Loud cheers.) This they call abusing our poor Roman catholic fellow subjects ; but I call it advocating their rights, and detecting the thief. (Continued cheers.) How would the Christian congregations of England like to have their prayers said for them • in Latin, to have all the services of the church in Latin ? I say that the minister would be a barbarian to the people and the people barbarians to the minist er . (Ch eers .) Thi s i s w h at S t. P au l sa id—" If he speaks in language that the people do not understand he is a barbarian to th em an d th ey are b ar b ar i ans to hi m ; ' and how can a man that occupies the place of the unlearned say Amen to one giving of thanks, when he does not know what he says ? (Cheers.) Strange things any of the popish priests might say, and when the right time comes how can the poor people say Amen when they do not know what it is to ? Ido not think it is possible for me to convey the full force of this to your minds without saying something in an unknown tongue to your ears. (Cheers.) I shall, for the sake of advocating the rights of our Roma n ca th o li c f e ll ow subjects, make myself for a moment or two a perfect barbarian— " Cosi al regro fanciullo porgiamo aspersi Di suave licor gli orli del vaso Succhi amari ingannato intent() ei beve E dal inganno sue vita receve." This is from an Italian poet called Tasso. I have done this in order to make you, got to laugh at, but to, feel for, the depths of the deprivation in which my poor Roman Catholic fellow -countrymen are kept by a set of ecclesiastical tyrants who say prayers in Latin. (Loud cheers.) If it be alleged, well, but he does not speak against the people, he speaks against . the priests. I never de n y it. I never did an d never will deny it. (Cheers.) There may be some of them sincere, but for the most part many, who have learned these things themselves, a n d are capa b le of arguing about them, must, according to the constitution of th e h uman m i n d and consci ence, know . in their h earts t h at they are keeping the people wilfully in ignorance. But, perh a p s , thi s i s a " ca l umny ;" perhaps this is one of those " falsehoods" propagated against our Roman Catholic fell ow - countrymen ; perhaps there is no such thing as communion only in one kind ; may be, they give the cup to the laity in the popish chapels ; perhaps, also, they never say any Latin prayers—for it is hard to get at the truth now-a-days. I remember a piece of truth that was told about penance, and when it was tried in a court of justice, it was pronounced•to be a falsehood. Perhaps it is entirely false that they say Latin p ra y ers , ent i rely false that they keep the communion from the people in the cup ; per haps, also, it is entirely false that they keep the Bible from the 'people. I have a very remark a bl e d ocument brought me by the post this very day. It is the last n um b er of the Achill Missionary Herald; and it contains a letter from the Rev. Edward Naugle, addressed to the Rev. Hugh Stowell. With regard to what passed upon. the subject of Mr. Stowell's late trial, Mr. Nangle writes :—" The same means which have been employed by our opponents to injure the good cause, should be used by us to frustrate their inten tions. With this view, I deliber a t e ly pu bli s h t h e fellevyinir .. && qua. ASJA statement. I challenge investigation in a court of In the party accused proceed against roe for libel. and I to produce legal proof of the ;11 missionary settlement in the island of Achill, Ireland, do hereby declare that the Rev. John O'Flynn, Roman Catholic priest, formerly of Achoury, but now of Curry, in the dio cese of Achoury, and county of Sligo, Ireland, and also the Rev. Michael O'Flynn, R.C.C., of Ballisadare, in the same diocese and ctiunty, did;• in the exercise of their office as priests of the Church of Rome, require one o f th e i r parish- _ _slier had become posSessed, and to perform stations successively at Croagh Patrick, Baal, and Lough Deerag, which stations were en joined in the way of penance, in order to obtain absolution, and which were to be performed by crawling considerable distances on the knees, to the laceration of the person.' " This is precisely the sort of statement that has been denied. Mr. Nangle reiterates it. He gives the names of two priests; he gives their residences ; and pledges himself to make good in. a court of justice, by legal eviuence, the fact that they commanded a parishioner to burn the and inflicted penance upon others, to the laceration of their persons. (Hear.) Now, much has been made of the verdict against this statement, in Manchester. There they had no op portunity, because the ma n i n ques ti on cou ld not b e broughtinto court, to make good the evidence against the priest : here, if they be sincere, let them take Mr. Naugle at his word, and let them prosecute him for a libel. (Cheers.) I must recollect it is not to address you at considerable length, but rather to preside whilst other per sons addressed you that I came h ere t hi s even i ng . (C r i es o f go on.") You say well in the requisition sent to me, that our protestant constitution is assailed by outward violence, as well as undermined by secret treachery. You do well to combine in its defence ; but, .my friends, it is my opinion, deliberately formed—and I have no hesitation in expressing it to you now—that our constitution in its present condition cannot be defended. Serious breaches have been made in it, and if we would permanently and successfully defend, we must immediately and resolutely repair. (Cheers.) If our efforts are to be conservative at last, they must he restorative at once. (Renewed cheers.) My friends, a broken break -water soon ceases to be a breakwater at all, and only reminds us by its crumbling ruins that once there existed a break water. (Cheers.) The sea is in perpetual motion with open violence, foaming fury at the top, and secret undermining at the bottom • the effected breach bec omes ever y d ay th e gran d breach, and is truly in vain to attempt to defend what remains in any other manner than by repairing what is damaged. (Cheers.) What is it then that has been damaged, and what is it then that must be repaired? I answer, the essential protestantism of our constitution. (Loud cheers.) —the civil and ecclesiastical ascendancy of protestantism. (Renewed cheers.) I am well aware of the uproar caused among the ranks of the liberals, by that old-fashioned I word, " ascendancy." (Hear, hear.) I am welt aware how the vocabulary has been ransacked for epithets to represent that word, as the basest of things to be ap plied to mankind. I well know that what the vocabulary, as supplied by Dr. Johnson in his dictionary, lacks, Billings gate and Derrynane have supplied. But, suppose that after all ascendancy of some kind would be enough ; suppose upon inquiry it should be ascertained that the essential laws of human society do repudiate a level as truly and as invariably as the laws of external nature repudiate a vacuum ; suppose it should be found that the system of British liberty, based upon the common law, upon the statute book, and admi nistered by trial in open court and verdicts by sworn juries, could not rest upon a level with the Roman system, which is baied upon the canon law of the papal court, and adminis tered by inquisitors ; suppose it to be found, I say, that the two things cannot co-exist upon one level, and in equality. One must be pre-eminent. What is to be done then? I know full well the answer men will give us if the question be, " Shall we have ascendancy or shall we have equality ?" If a bona fide, well ordered, honest, fair, permanent, equality of privileges—and here let our liberals be honest and fair, and give us credit for what we say—do not let them wilfully shuffle, and stifle this part of our statement, and fasten upon some parts that they think will give them en advantage : let them take it as they find it—all of it—(hear) ;—well, I say, if it can be shewn that real, bona fide, true, honest, perma nent equality of privileges c an b e en j o y e d—that man owning a foreign sovereign, and man repudiating a foreign sovereign, can stand upon an equality of privileges in the realm of our sove reign ; if it can be shewn that there is no reason why equality should not be maintained, I for one would joyfully advocate equality of all civil privileges for all persons what ever. (Cheers.) But if equality cannot be had, if the thing is utterly impossible, if no i ngenu it y o f man can put trial's and falsehood upon a level and keep them there, if the power of man cannot put error—fatal error—and saving truth upon a level—if no man can make a divided allegiance and an un divided allegiance to remain upon a level—if these things cannot be, and there must be an ascendancy, if one must be uppermost, and the question comes which must be upper most—we turn upon the liberals and ask them " which will you have—will you have English liberty uppermost, which allows you your liberty, or will you have Romanist power which deals in thumb-screws, and racks, and tortures ? " (Cheers.) I believe that from the nature of man, and from the constitution of human society, ascendancy of some kind is as truly and absolutely inevitable in societies as it is among individuals. Look at any class in society as men, as indivi duals. Can you have equality—permanent equality ? Im possible. Look at them : their heads are of different shapes ; their intellects are not upon an equality, their persons are not upon an equality, their eyes do not look alike. (Cheers.) No ; it is impossible to maintain equality ; there is an ascen dancy in person, in figure, in stature, in manners, in talent, —all show that equality is impossible. So it is in society. Equality cannot be. There must be ascendancy. And if there is to be anything of political ascendancy, as we have shown yoult is indispensable, then in the name of common sense what sort of ascendancy will you have ? (Cries of " protestant ascendancy," and cheers.) Aye, protestant as cendancy to be sure. (Loud cheers.) I solemnly and deli berately think and say that both the welfare of mankind, the progress of human society, all the advances of the human species, the movements of all improvements—improvements in science, in agriculture, in commerce—the welfare of mankind—nay all that is for the temporal as well as the eternal peace of man and for the eternal glory of our God, all call for aristiani protestant ascendancy. (Hear, and loud cheers.) How is this to be had; how is it to be regained in this city ? There are various things to be done. There is one line of effort which I think I may very properly suggest to you, in order to meet some of the taunts and sneers of some of our opponents. - They are ever more throwing out taunts that the right sort of christianity is that which shows love to one another—that the right sort of religion is that which teaches mercy—not that which enables man to perform these duties. I entirely agree with this in its own pr.per place. "By this shall all men know we are Christ's disciples if we have love one to another," and one of the marks of that love is • you shall in no wise suffer sin by your brother, and when he does in any wise offend reprove him." Now what I want to impress upon all assembled in this place this night —a n ighty and important multitude, though I should not at all wonder if we hoar by and bye it was not half full—here it is, however, with above four thousand witnesses to being quite full. (Cheers, and a Voice, " Aye, five thousand.")—Somebody said five thou sand, but Ido not like to exaggerate—l want, I say, to im press upon you that one mode at which we must aim, in or der to regain our Protestant ascendancy to this—bear with me whilst I tell you, for I show my love in so doing—it is this—that no Protestant man be found at any time in a state of intoxication (cheers); that no man possessing Protestant principles be found at any time breaking the Lord's day, absenting himself from a place of worship, idly in the streets upon the Sunday—that no man profess ing Protestant principles shall ever be found commit ting fornication or adultery ; that no man professing Pro testant principles shall ever be found going beyond or de frauding a brother in any bargain ; that no man professing Protestant principles shall ever be found stealing anythi ng however small. (Cheers.) . These are features of Protestant ascendancy. (Continued cheers.) These are the fruits— I shall not go into doctrines, and go into the roots—but let the roots be judged and known by the fruits. (Loud cheers.) Yuu are willing to appeal to the Bible; and if you were not willing to appeal to it, I should not be your chairman. The Bible then says " by their fruits shall ye know them ;" and if you allow temperance, prudence, honesty, truth, chastity, integrity, and sabbath keeping; if you allow these things to be shewn more or as much by the poor, deluded, and de frauded Romanist, who will believe that Protestantism de serves ascendancy ? But if these things spew upon_ you, they prove the tree to be good. " Make the tree good," says our highest authority, " and its fruit is good." If you give practical proof that these principles are in you, rest assured it is not too late yet, by this method, to regain Protestant as cendancy in England. (Loud cheers.) ebelieve that it can not be regained in any other way. I believe that by our men in authority it is not to be regained, because one and all of them, or nearly all—l beg pardon, there are a few glorious ex ceptions—but nearly all, of all parties, have proved faithless to the great principle of Protestant ascendancy ; and the only way to regain it is, by cultivating the Protestant democracy. (Cheers.) That is the way to regain Protestant ascendancy. It is to be regained by the people, or it cannot be regained at all. The power is given to the people—the middle classes of society have the power ; and if they will become a Protes tant people, we shall have Protestant ascendancy again, the Bible in the ascendant, and the principles of the Bible su preme- in the legislation of our country. (Cheers.) Who appoints our legislators ? You and such as you select them. You and such as you, showing such fruits as I have describ ed, may well send forth your representatives —men that shall stand up in the House of Commons for the principles that you follow up in your several departments in life. It you will first bring forth these fruits yourselves, and then select representatives like-minded with yourselves, we shall have a regenerated House of Commonsa Protestant House of Commons. (Loud cheers.) We are using our efforts for this. I claim, and I am glad in this immense assembly to claim it, as it is in all justice due, a high regard at your hands for the labouring clergy of the Established Church, who are working this matter with and for you, and with all the powers of our minds and bodies striving to have Protes tant ascendancy. (Cheers.) The Protestant AssoCiation of Liverpool was drawn into being by the clergy of the Esta blished Church, and the Protestant Association of Liverpool, which commenced with a small beginning, in a little room, has extended, like the prophecy concerning the Jewish na tion—the little one has become thousands, aye, tens of thou sands. (Loud cheers.) Behold such a meeting as this, which can be called at a few days' notice, for the purpose of forming a branch association. - (Hear, hear.) Aye, the weapons of our warfare are not carnal; but scripture tracts—scriptural arguments--scriptural sermons—and I believe that God blesses the preaching of the gospel amongst the people. I believe that it is the faithful preach ing of the gospel which shall be the first thing to break down the iron hand of the Romish tyranny in England, and which shall be the first thing to reinstate protestant ascendancy. (Loud cheers.) I believe that, as the pulpit won the Re formation, the pulpit is destined, under God, to keep and restore the Reformation. (Continued cheering.) Yes, Eng lishmen, let it never be forgotten that you owe the Reforma tion, under God, to the bishops and clergy of your church — to men like Cra'smer, Latimer, Ridley, Hooper —men who perilled their lives to death rather than bow down to the t yran ny of Rome, rather than be deprived of the cup in the communion, rather than have Latin prayers said to English ears. (Continued cheers.) Now, what is your just return ? Why, rally round your clergy. Uphold their hands. The loud shout of applause is very well in its place ; but that will not do. • if the members of our congregations will admire our true protestant preaching, and will give us the shout of their applause in public meetings ; if any of these same men are bringing forth—what shall r call it? I may call them with out offence Popish fruits which are bad fruits—if we find. them bringing forth bad fruits, what shall we say? The enemies of our cause will throw it in our teeth. " See," they will say—" this comes of your fine Protestantism —there is one of your congregation found drunk in the streets every night." it was said of George Whitfield, that he was re proached with one of his converts being found drunk in the streets the other night; he replied, " Aye, you did well to call him one of my converts : he was not one of God's." Some of our weapons are of this character. Here is your true Protestant Sentinel. (The reverend gentleman here held up in his hand a copy of the last number of the Protestant Sentinel, the appearance of which elicited loud cheers. The rev. gent. said he was happy to be able to state that this little publication of the Liverpool Protestant Association had al ready obtained a very extensiae circulation. He hoped that all would give it that encouragement which it deserved by largely purchasing it. The price of it was only one penny. It was published on every third Saturday in the month ; and the number that he held in his hand was that of Sept. 19). I feel grateful, continued the rev. gentleman, for the kind at tention with which you ha v e h ear k en ed t o these observations, and I now leave you by calling upon the gentlemen appointed n the list to move and second the resolutions. The rev. gentleman, after a few further remarks, sat down amidst en thusiastic cheers. need by the chairman, rest diffidence - in presenting himself before so being intro, saty. u.cs a unit. Ile Was a sailor, and being such, he was hn. pressed with the fact, that " England expects every inau tc do his duty," and he would never be backward to the call of duty.. (Cheers.) He then read the resolution, to the , 1 • “0S . popery .1/11141.11J11, ell"t mu 1 0 that in the opinion of th a t mee ti ng th e system of now gaining grou n d was a lik e inimical to the authority of Hip ed that his thanks , well as Chose of the • general community, were due to those mercantile individuals present, and especially. to the shipwrights before him, without whom the commerce of the country could not proceed. He himself could bear testimony to their skill and industry in their vocation. The ship in which he had until lately sailed, during a period of six years, was built at this port; and he could say, that so faithfully was she built, that he had as much confidence in her in a gale of wind as if he were on shore. Yes ! even when the waves were rolling around him, and her timbers creaked, had he lain down to rest with as much confidence as if he were on land. (Hear, hear.) He congratulated the reverend chairman on the numerous assembly there before him. He considered these honest working men as the timbers of the vessel of the constitution, and though some of the planks had unhappily been stripped off', and those timbers were exposed, they would rally round the gallant ship. repair her throughout; bret into her the binding streak, and finally caulk her, so that she may defy the rush of infidelity, and float securely and proudly over the waves. They were protestants ; and upon that they took their ground. A late good old King (Geo. III.) had said every one in his dominions ought to be able to read the Bible: and it was for them to - consider whether they opened that sacred volume, in that. sincerity, and with that attention which would make us wise unto salvation. What was re quired was the whole Bible, and not that mutilation of it which was distributed by the Education Society. That so ciety sent forth mere portions of the scriptures ; which, like extracts from some fruits, good as a whole, might be poison ous. The Bible was believed to be the Word of God, and on that alone should their faith be established. He saw on each side of him the British ensign, on which was emblazoned the cross. This ought to remind them of the Saviour. That flag floated over an extent of the British territory on which the sun never sets. Let them then rally around it as a sacred and honourable banner. He remembered that when he first took command of - a ship, he was requested to take out six young gentlemen as passengers to India. He replied that he would not take them without knowing who they were ; and, finding they were Catholics, he refused to take them. He always main tained Christian discipline in his ship, and he knew that it was impossible to connect true Christianity with popery. He had heard that such , discipline could not be introd uce d amongst seamen, but h e bad lotmd the contrary; and be knew not a few blue-jackets wOliwould gladly go abroad with I him again. He had even been offered £5OO to take out tlic young men ; but they were Jesuits. He instanced another case in which he set himself against the bringing from China of four young men of Pekin, to be educated as C holic priests at N a pl es ; f or h e wou ld not b e accessory to tlfr pro pagation of error. He would riot have fixed upon him what in Revelations was termed " the mark of the beast." After some allusion to the idolatry of the Chinese, he rejoiced tint there was now a prospect of a door being opened to the spread of true religion in that country ; and he concluded by ex pressing his.hope that the blessing of God might so favour the society about to be formed, and others similar to it, that England might again enjoy that prosperity which could arise only from true protestant principles. (Loud cheers.) Mr. SHEPHERD, after complimenting the chairman as the Wellington of the army of Protestants, seconded the resolu tion. In corroboration of what had been advanced from the chair, he should, he said, offer a few remarks. He then read 'an extract from the pastoral address of the Catholic Bishops of 1826, in which they denied all intention to subvert the Protestant Church, as established in these realms. In Feb., 1830, on the occasion of the passing of the Catholic Relief Bill, they again issued a similar declaration. This was Signed by a large number of the dignitaries of the Catholic Church in this country, and the sentiments expressed accorded with those also declared at the same time by Cardinal Welt!. Not only the Catholic clergy. but the laity then pledged themselves not to interfere with the Established Church of this country, yet at a public meeting held at May o a f ew wee k s ago, a M. Hughes, a Catholic priest, said that no Catholic could con scientiously do otherwise than maintain, against all others, the ascendancy of his own church. Their opponents also sup ported Mr. Daniel O'Connell, in his agitation for the repeal of the union. (Mr. O'Connell's name was received by the meeting with groans and hisses.) And that individual said, that until the Catholics got what they wanted, he should not cease to agitate that question, and, if possible, to bring about the object it had in view. What, he would ask, did the Catholics want? What would satisfy their wants ? They had knocked off two bishoprics. They had got a reduction of £60,000 of Church cess, and various other large reductions; but as long as they got what they expressed at the time, as the extent of their wants, they immediately wanted more. Would the -- or tins country allow this system to go on ? (Cries of " No, no.") It was said by some that there were few or no protestants in Ireland: But when he went to reside in the county of Wexford, he found a number of poor protestants on the confines of two parishes, without a church within their reach, and many of them were drawn over to attend the entimiL. . rie represented the fact to Mr. Aleock,. brother of cna one pei of the representatives of the county, and drew u p, w i t h his sanc tion - a memor _ oisnop, and a succe sor, lamented the tact, but nothing could then be done. I waited, however, on the next, the estimable Dr. Hetherin ton, who, on his representation --• s dcstit U tion of the protestants in th a t part - o f the country, made personal inquiries, and finally put his shoulder to the wheel, so that he (Mr. Sheppard) had the satisfaction to see before he left the county a protestant church erected, which was attended by from 80 to 90 poor protestants, who were before totally destitute of instruction in the religion of fathers. He concluded by an allusion to the protestant press of Liver pool. and three cheers were given suecessively for the Mail, the STANDARD, and the Courier. Some allusion being made to the Mercury, when Mr. S. remarked that that paper sup ported its party strongly; and that the otheis 'tattled did their duty to the protestants. Let them but consider the toil and expense of the latter in giving reports of such meetings as the present, and let them and the merchants support them by their advertisements and otherwise. Their own press ought to be supported, and they would find it a powerful engine in their behalf._ (Loud cheers.) The Rmi. CIIAIRIfA.I/ then put the resolution, and it was unanimously carried. Mr. SAMUEL HOLM] (whose rising was the signal for a most enthusiastic burst of applause) spoke as follows : I had hoped, sir, before I was requested by your secretary to take part i n t hi s interesting meeting, that I might have been permitted to remain a silent though not an uninterested spectator of your proceedings, because my numerous avoca tions render it impossible for" me to make any suitable pre paration for addressing such an assemblage as the present. But this circumstance may he in some degree consolatory to the meeting, as they will be spared perhaps the infliction of a very long speech. I have little reading time, and my in formation, such as it is, is rather derived from the study of mankind than from the learning of the schools. But sir, on such fundamental points as we are met to consider, and on such vital principles as we are met to support and defend, I am thankful to say that I am never Wholly unprepared ; and conceiving it to be my duty at any and at every time to de fend the principles with which I am identified, I hesitate not to throw myself on the indulgence of the vast assemblage, more especially a s I see before me, many old familiar faces of working men, with whom I spent many of my younger days, and who remain still, what they were then, the unflinching supporters of our Protestant church, together with that free constitution of which the church is at once the foundation and the bulwark. (Loud cheers.) It is to me a source of the highest gratification to see so many hundreds, nay thousands of the w or ki ng classes assembled together for such a holy object. A few years ago it would have been deemed impossible, and yet, such is the judicial blindne of our rulers, that they seem absolutely insensible to the fact, that England contains ten thousand times ten thousand men of all ranks a n d of all classes, who love and value the institutions under which they were born, which preserves to us liberty of thought, freedom of action, and security for life and property. (" Hea r , b ear, " and cheers.) In the pre servation of these blessings all classes have the deepest in terest, and I doubt not b ut all who hear me will join heart and hand in preserving and transmitting to posterity the civil and religious liberty which we ourselves possess. (Cheers.) Feeling, therefore, that I am speaking the sentiments of thousands, 1 shall take the liberty of making a few observa tions, in drawing your attention to the motion which has been placed in my hands. And here, sir, let me observe, that I shall deeply regret if I wound the feelings of any con scientious Roman Catholic. It is no part of my creed, or of the creed of the church to which I belong, to wound indivi duals, for it is.systems, not individuals which we condemn. But I hold that it is the bounden duty of every member of the Church of England, if he is zealous and consistent, to defend her doctrines, and to see that lier frame work is not injured or destroyed. (S evera l roun d s. o f appro b at i on.) Nay more, it is his duty to become aggressive against those systems which are established for her injury, and to oppose, vigorously and manfully, every engine prepared for her destruction. (It is, it is.) If tliechurch of England remains much longer on; the defensive—she is gone—for it is an axiom in warfare that a besieged city must eventually fall ; but if the garrisons is strong enough to make a sortie and repel the aggresso rs it is secure . T h i s i s now the position of the church of England. She is assailed by a motley group whose only bond of unison is a desire for her downfall, and the time has arrived when the sortie must be made. She must carry the war into the enemy's camp, must defeat her assailants, must expose their weaknesses and defects, and being herself built upon the 'rock of scriptural truth, must attack the errors of those who are hoodwinking the people, and forging fetters for the mind and the liberties of England, that when our political liberties are destroyed, our religious liberties may follow, and then our beloved country will easily be laid prostrate at the feet of papal Rome. (Hear, hear.) Do I Peed, sir, to use any argument to convince this meeting that great encroachments are n ow i being made by the papal system n England ? Is she not multiplying her mass houses by dozens ? Are not her col leges, her emissaries and her mummeries, springing up on every side ? Does she not demand and obtain pecuniary aid from the legislature (more shame.on the British House of Commons) that our colonies may swarm with her bishops and priests ? Does she not bar every avenue to the throne, and reign triumphant in the palace of the sovereign, for the first time since William' of Orange was called to wear the crown of protestant England ? Do we not find her represented in in the privy council, and at the educ a tio n b oard ? And is she not at this present moment ruling the the destinies of this protestant kingdom, and keeping in power a degraded ministry, the subservient tools with which she condescends to work ? (Hisses.) And are not all her movements directed to the attainment of political supremacy, that all ma y b e ma d e to bend to her authority and implicitly submit to her decrees ? She Proteus like, professes to be the friend of education here, but where her authority is paramount s h e s tifles the cry for it. Where her visible he a d i s the temporal monarch, there are no public schools. Slavery exists — the slavery of the mind I mean, there is scarcely a middle class, and desolation and filth, c ommercial stagnatio n and mental and moral degradation, reign triumphant. (Hear.) Judge her then by the fruits of he r government, in Italy, in i Spain, in Portugal, or n, Ireland. What mean the Catholic Institute, the Protector Societies of England—(hisses) —which will soon fill us with an increased number of paupers ? What mean the Popish Associations in Ireland? Why, sir, there are so many chains forging to bind the liberties of Eng land, and surely we are not to sit quietly still till the manacles are riveted on us. (Loud C r i es of " Hear. " ) Surely we shall not be so fascinated with the serpen t th a t we shall remain in torpid inactivity till we are folded in its deadly coil. (No, no.) And here, s i r, lam brought to ano ther part of my resolution, the apathy with which the en croachments of Rome are regarded by professing protestants. Many peaceable and well meaning Persons think that it sa vours of intolerance to speak out concerning popery : but I hold that whatever is erroneous and dangerous ought to be repudiated, whether in 'the Church of Rome or in that of England, if the latter had any errors either of doctrine or of practice. Popery is a . double evil. I t i s a political evil, for it enslaves i ns t ea d of giving liberty. I t i s a religious evil, for its cree d i s f a l se , a nd it withholds the scriptures from the people, for the pope knows well that popery and the free cir culation of God's holy word cannot be coexistent. Being inimical therefore, both to political and religious liberty, it is passing strange that they who profess to be the advocates of both, should be found yoked to her chariot, and like the infatuated Hindoos, be urging forward the car which is des tined to crush them in the dust. (Hear, hear.) If popery were triumphant in England, dissent would have the privilege of I being the of the Church of f service o have hithert . o display It was not by apathy • ILi übt, sir, that those members land who are lending themselves to the thy will , , a , ‘,6uu Llie pular of our pra testant constitution, and it mu s t not b e b y apathy that w can preserve it in its h armon i ous proportions and in its pris . tinp haantar (Ph:.. .....,.4:..........4. ..-_ _ _ .. _ .st they will not protestant feeling has set in, and I national and local—(hear, hear)—u that feeling is not to be trifled wit not submit to tlut moral scourge, to kiiow th prostrate the energies of every country which it has th misfortune to visit. And to this end I hope that those seminaries which make thqWord of G o d secondary to the acquisition of !secular knowledge, will never have the cordial support of the members of the Church of England. Of the veneration of George the Tikkg. for that church, I had a OF ing instance only last week.- Au address had been to the king on his birthday, and with his own h, up his answer—it was! in s theseiwords :—" Ic, find:words to convey sufficiently my thanks for affectionate and dutiful congratulations on this day. may restgassured of my attachment to our church estn blishment, and that I think its support essential to the maintenance of our glorious civil constitution." (Hear.) p The word " church" was interlined, as if he did not wish his cot: sentiments to be in the leastinisunderstood when he used the term " establishment" only. The possessor of the-docu ment is a gentleman at Runcorn, who had, in his youth, been his Majesty's pa g e, an d was w ith hi m w h en he read it, and has now the manuscript framed and hung over his mantel piece. :(Bravo.) I trust, sir, that the same feeling which animated that venerable monarch may actuate his illustrious grandaughter... Her throne is on'. a Protestant foundation, and while it is buttr, Established Church. Dissent is, in its very essence, demo. cratic ; but the church, from its nature, teaches subordir tiou to lawful authority, and is consequently monarcr To forward the great work of education in the -' and principles of the Established Church, bine secular and scientific information wit', gion, a great and noble work has been commences, town—l allude to the Collegiate Institution for the education of the commercial, trading, and working classes of this great I community, and I claim for this institution the zealous sup port of every member of our National Church. I rejoice to tell you, that nearly £12,000 has been already subscribed for 'its establishment, and much shall I mistake the inhabit ,- of Liverpool if that sum is not soon doubled. (, [Mr. Holme here entered into some explanations concet. the origin of the institution, which, from the lateness of tA hour at which we write, we are unable to give.) He con tinned. Does the Church of England, then, neglect scien tific acquirements? Far otherwise. But, considering that man is an immortal as well as an intellectual being, she makes science subordinate, and scripture paramount. She thinks the study of astronomy is heightened in sublimity, when the student has been taught from his youth to say with David---" When I consider thy heavens, the work of fingers, the moon and the stars which thou hast ordained, what is man that thou art mindful of him, or the son of man thr thou visitest him." We think that geography is enhanc in value when the child reads that God has made of all the nations of the earth, and that he willeth not of a sinner, but that all should turn and live. The study navigation, too, which it is purposed to have taught in c Collegiate Institution, cannot be less interesting, because t sailor when tossed on the ocean billow calls to mind the struction of his youth, and can recognise in the h eav i ng o f t : mighty deep the mercy as well as th power of the Al m i g h —can say in his heart, " The sea is his, and he made and he can say to it, " Peace, and there shall be - (Loud cheers.)

This was what sanctified, this was what confirmed man to his God ' • this ennobled th e creature ; t hi s elevated the affections ; this burst the bonds of selfishness ; this raised the human heart above the narrow sphere of tribe or kin or party, and enabled it to expand after a Godlike manner upon the right hand and upon the left, over all for whom Christ died. This was Christianity. This alone was to be found in the gospel—the gospel of Jesus Christ. (Cheers.) After observations, the rev. gentleman suggested that. ,ocicty be formed to be called " the Restorer Society." ..e design of which should be to procure the queen's preach ers to be sent out by royal authority into any town in the kingdom to preach the Gospel as they were before the time of the Reformation. This suggestion was received with great applause. It would be a great means of spreading the p: in ciples of Protestantism among the people, and it could not fail to be attended with the most beneficial results. The Doxology, " Praise God from whom all blessings flow," was then sang, and at a quarter past eleven the meeting separated, having occupied little short of five hours. INQuEsrs.—On Friday an inqUest was held before Mr. Curry, on the body of Jane Molloy, an infant three months old. The deceased was an illegitimate child of Ann Cole man, who lives in a cellar in Preston -street. On Wednesday night Coleman was drunk, and lay upon the floor of the cel lar the whole of the night. The infant was in bed along with a man named Bryan Leonard, who was very drunk. In the morning the child was found dead in bed. Mr. Fred: C r ip ps , surgeon, stated that th e d ec e ase d h ad died from suffocation. Verdict, " died from suffocation, but from what cause there is no evidence to the jury to show."---Also, on view of the body of Thomas Harney. The deceased, on Wednesday af ternoon, was in the surgery of Mr. Taylor, Cleveland-square, and whilst .waiting for n prescription being' made up, fell down and expired. Mr. Taylor, who had made a post mortem examination of the body, statettlhat he fund a lesion of the 'air cells of the right lung which, in his opinion, was the cause of death ; the left lung was also diseased : V er di c t, " di e d by the visitatio n of God." THE IRON WAR STEAMER NEMESIS.—This splendid iron vessel, W. U. Hall, commander, R.N., from Liverpool, last from Prince's Island and the Bights, and now in Table Bay, is the largest of her class ever built in England, and does great credit to her scientific builder, John Laird, Esq., Bir kenhead, near Liverpool. Her dimensions are 168 feet long, 29 feet beam, and 650 toes burthen, and fitted with two me dium pivot guns, thirty -twtb pounders, one forward, the other aft, and six swivels. The engines are 120 horse power, of superior make, in good order, and are highly creditable to Messrs. Forrester and Co., of Liverpool, and she is, we he sitate not to say, one of the finest steamers that ever came into this bay, and certainly the first iron one. On the 19th Jtine, in lat. 31 . 0 S., lon. 8 10. E., she experienced a N. W. gale, with the usual high Cape sea : she was extremely ea s y, never shipping any water, arid going nine and ten knots, un der canvas alone, the floats having been taken off. Last Fri day, the governor and suite having gone on board, she slip ped from her anchorage, and steamed round the bay,tr,ytengr the different range of her guns. At two o'clock p.ni. commander brought her alongside the jetty (and we must not forget to mention that here' she was first also), and landed the governor and suite with three hearty and British cheers. During her stay she was crowded with vi s it ors, for the ex treme a . novelty of the circumstance e xc it e d the curiosity of all classes from the shore. Having taken Onb ti o rd, in thre e hours, 100 tons coal, and completed ai water, - lough no pre parations had been made, she returned to her anchorage in the bay.—Cape of Good Hope Shipping List, July 7, 1810. MIRACULOUS ESCAPE FROM DROWNING.—Dr. Bowker, an eminent practitioner from Nottingham, who has been successfully, for some time past, performing the new opera tion for squinting and chtb-foot, was accompaned by his friend Mr. Andrew, surgeon, Of St. Paul's-square, five miles N.W. of the Bell Buoy, on Saturday evening last, on his departure to Australia with government emigrants, when the , latter gentleman met with a serious accident. Mr. Andrew was returning from the outward-bound bark, when the put ., of the steam-tug Mona nearly upset by the violence of tlis. waves• Mr. Andrew was precipitated into the water, es wherewhich for some time he floated on his hack. Theui were running high with the ebb-tide, carried he consi derable distance into the sea, ar►d, mi ght not be nni a' overtaken by the small boat, be attempte d feari t n to strike out and presence of mind, face the stream.

Mr. Holme concluded by proposing the following resolution " That it is the opinion of this meeting the encroachment now making by the •Romish Church in Great Britain, an the apathy with which those encroachments are regarded h professing Protestants, call aloud for the active exertions c all those who desire the continuance of pure religion at civil liberty in our land."—Mr. Hohne sat down amid thunders of applause. _ _ Mr. ANDREW CLARICE, an operative much cheering to second the resolution. friends of the nronosed branch of the (lr appeared amid lie stated that ti tive Association had waited till the rev. chairman came hom , to solicit him to become their patron. He regretted to ob serve so few names to the requisition to that effect in the STANDARD a short time since ; but he would assure thi meeting that in place of fourteen, he believed the names o thousands could now be obtained. (Cheers.) He believe( that since the time of William 111 so great and glorious struggle had not been made for protestantism ; and he be lievel the association they were uow formin g would make clear road through the Protecto r Society. (Loud cheer I 'ss H -lad toe C 4e was g_ :mar ,aptain Crichton deliver his sentiments so well, but be wished also to hear a ship-owner or 'pastel ship-wright address the meeting. He saw near him the Bri. tish flag ; and hoped they would be able to hoist it more triumphantly than ever on the '29th of May. He had him self something to do with procuring the royal standard then over their heads. The magistrates had thought proper to investigate that flag before they exhibited it, though strange to say they had suffered the papists to carry their flags un- scrutinised. But he hoped the day was j fast approaching when they would be enabled to carry what flags they thought proper without scrutiny. (Loud cheers.) - The motion was then put and unanimously carried. Mr. WHATHAM rose amidst loud cheers to move the next • resolution, which he did in a most eloquent speech, to which we regret our inability to do justice. He paid a well earned tribute of praise to the moral courage of the distinguished chairman on behalf of Protestantism, and he subsequently demonstrated that the present meeting was one really and truly a shipwrights' meeting constituted for the purpose of defending protestantism, without any reference to the approaching municipal election. He reminded the meeting that had it not been for the Shipwrights' Associaion, Liverpool, probably, would not now have been represented by two conservatives—and it was, therefore, a public duty to aid their exertions in defence of protestantism. He hoped, indeed, that they would assist the conservative band in winning many a glorious triumph. Nevertheless, the Shipwrights' Protestant Association was not a political body. They were determined to uphold their religious faith ; and they took the best means to doh, for their committee, up ward's of forty in number, every Sunday distributed religious tracts among our most degraded and ignorant fellow towns men. The speaker next alluded to O'Connell's late speech in the Queen's Theatre, particularly to a few of the hack neyed blackguardisms in it.. O'Connell said he did not care about the Rev. T. D. Gregg, for he w as no t a respons ib le animal, but it w as th e R ev . Mr. M'Neile who was daiog all the mischief. And then, as if he thought he had - given too much importance to Mr. M`Neile, hQsaid that man,must be inspired by the. very' devirhirnself. He (Mr. \Vhathatn) fancied he would have been hearer to the truth if he had said that he himself (O'Connell) had been under the visitation of the satanic inspiration, for it was exhibited in his very coun tenance. After speaking in terms of praise of the principles of the shipwrights, coopers, ropers, and sailmakers; M r . Whathana concluded by ex p ress i ng a lope that they would all come forward manfully to protect the British constitution, and so enable it to sail victoriously over the waves of faction and prejudice. (Loud cheers.) Mr. Joust LONGWORTH moved the next resolution. He saw the necessity of the proposed society, to counteract a ne farious one established in the neighbourhood of the Mass house of St. Patrick. The flag of their society, (the Royal Standard), - over their heads was not disloyal. The motto was--" For God, our Queen, and our country." Had it been a Popish flag; it would have commenced with—" For the Pope, the Queen, and the country." If the Queen of England. were in danger, she would find much more assist ance and succour from the Protestant shipwrights of Liver pool, than from the Papists ; and, if she sought refuge in Li verpool, would return back to her palace and cry out " No popery" herself. (Cheers.) The resolution was then carried unanimously. The Rev. CHAIRMAN, after a brief eulogium upon his cha racter, introduCed the curate to his predecessor as pastor of St. Jude's Church, the Rev. Mr. Dalton., • The Rev. HE NRY HUGH lIIGGINS, who said he was fully conscious that his only claim on the time and attention of that large and influential meeting-, arose from their kind in dulgence. He considered it a great privilege to take a part in the establishment of a Protestant Association in a meeting of so many of his fellow-countrymen, as sembled to defend the best interests of their church. (Cheers.) He had lately come from a country ,vell known to them (Ireland,) where he had seen somewhat of the workings of the Popish system. He had discovertid that it was one thing to be well aware, in the abstract, of the fallacy of the Papal syst em , an d another to be convinced of its evil practi cal workings. He held any man of sound understanding, with his bible in his hand, and, with God's blessing, might fully demonstrate to his own satisfaction the fallacy of the Papal system : but it was another thing to know thedistresse _ and the fatal consequences which attended upon the spread of that system. We might have heard or read of a famine, but unless we saw the haggard countenances and wasted forms - -unless we heard the last dying gasp of those perishing from it —we had little conception of the distress occasioned by a famine. The spread of the Papal superstition was a famine worse than that of bread. It was a famine of the word of God ; and some of the effects of that famine he had seen where he had lately been travelling._ The rev. gentleman Went fly. ~ to describe the state of knowledge amongst the lower el, of people i❑ Ireland.
