mayor and high sheriff of the borough and the county
officials were in attendance at the station. A lunch was
11 prepared, but her Majesty did not alight. There was no
intimation that she would do so, but the lunch was prepared
and a room in the station was fitted up in case she

by the directors of that line. There was no military in at-
tendance; and a few policemen were all that was needed to
keep the people in order. Crowds of people were also

THE REV. CANON STOWELL AND TUE ECCLE-
SIASTICAL TITLES Bitt.—The Rev. Canon Stowell de-
livered a lecture at the Corn Exchange, Manchester, on
Tuesday evening, on the question now at issue between the
protestants and catholics in this country. In the course of
hie remarks he said he thanked Lord John Russell for his
boldness in passing a measure both for England and for
Ireland. The rinses had been wrong in desiring a measure
for England only, and had been followed by the Manchester
Guardian, but they were now beginning to tack, and come
round. Ile, however, liked a vessel to go, not with the
wind, but before it. As the catholic' were taking an
lugressive position, so must the protestants. Ever since
the bill of 1829 protestant, had been acting on the defen-
Isive ; and while the catholic' were continually makieg
aggressions, the protestant* were continually giving and
conceding. We must have retrogressive legislation and
repeal the grant to Maynooth, enforce the act forbidding
Jesuits to multiply, and put down nunneries and monas-
teries. Nay, we must go beyond this, and repeal the law of
1829, or it would ruin us. Thin he asserted on the ground
of past experience, on account of that bill's nut having ful-
filled the promises made of it, and on the ground of reli-
gious truth, that God abhorred idolatry, and would punish
those who took part with idolaters. He would join
with dissenters and others who would not sup-
port the repeal of the bill of 1829, in obtaining the
repeal of other measures favourable to popery, but they
should nut prevent his seeking the repeal of Oat measure.
Protestant. must not relax in their offsets to oppose Rome,
until the partisans of the Pope relaxed theirs in opposition
to protestantism. They must keep up the defence, or as
he would rather have it, offence committee'. Popery and
protcstantism could not be co-ordinate ; one must be in the
ascendant. The struggle had only just begun. It would
last a long time, and it would be well if it lid not end in
the subjugation of England. He hailed the late bill, be-
cause it was the first step which had been taken against
popery since 1829. The battle to come would be no slight
one, and he should not be surprised if, in a few years, the
whole of catholic Europe, backed by Russia, and supported
by Ireland and the tractarians, were arrayed to crush
England. The true policy to pursue in opposition to this
would be a determined antagonism to the errors of Roman-
ism, and the getting rid of those things which hail excited
the anger of God. Further than all this, they must carry
on the war of christian prayer, love, teaching, writing, and
speaking, in opposition to popery. If this battle were
fought fairly and manfully, there would be nothing to fear.
A HEAVY STORM was experienced at Southamp-
ton on Wednesday night, commencing about half-peat 10
o'clock. The rain came down in torrents, and it was pitch
dark. The storm lasted for several hours. The Channel
Island mail steamer got away at midnight, but it is sus-
pe
cted that she brought up n some part of the river. Tho
Havre mail steamer, which should have left at the same
time, did not venture to leave the pier; both of these
steamers were crowded with passengers. The American
mail steamer Franklin, bound for New York from Havre
and Southampton, lay to in Cowes roads for a few hours
until the storm abated ; she left Havre with 105 passengers
and 300 tons of cargo. The American mail steamers, both
from Havre and Bremen, load remarkably well notwith-
standing the fierce opposition they receive from Liverpool.
