A meeting, to which admission was bad by
ticket, was held Mat eviaisg it St. Jasimhhall, to
express sympathy whit Om Paps. Thinsamainslndig tie
upper gallery, was crowded in amyl*" and the pro-
ceedings throughout were of a most enthusiastic character.

Areibishop ifAxtuna was cheered again sod again by
the nprlanding andienoe upon taking thb chain

Dr. GILUIT, Bishop of flouthwasi, moved the first reso-
lution :—" That we heartily sympathise with the Supreme
Pontiff Pius IX. in his present trials and hereby proclaim
our abhorrence of the unjust and wicked attacks that have
been made on his temporal sovereignty, whieht legitimate
in its origin, and benedcial in its action, is entitled to the
respect of all Christians, and is necessary for the free
exercise of the sacred mission entrusted by God to the
successors of St. Peter."

Colonel VAUGHAN seconded the motion, and while
madman* the English press for ite action on the Roman
question, incidentally referred to American Fenianisin—
the mention of which was loudly cheered, although there
was an anxious attempt on the part of the occupiers of the
reserved mate to mimes= it. The gallant colonel pro-
ceeded to speak in the strongest terms of the noble
bravery of " the little Papal arm," of the " bunkum" and
utter defeat of Garibaldi, and of the complicity with the
latter of the Italian government.
The resolution was carried unanimously,
Lord DENBIGH moved the next resolution :—" That, in
the name of catholicity, we protest against the made-
gious attempts made by the government of Victor Em-
manuel to usurp the States of the Church, and to reducer
the sovereign Pontiftto the condition of a subject of the
Italian kingdom : we invite all Christians of every natim
to rally round the throne of the Vicar of Christ, to were
his rights, and to aid him by every means at their eeln-
mend to defend Lis States, the common inheritance of the
whole catholic world." Ilia lordship said in these days,
when the old landmarks were being removed, they bad to
come to Holy Mother Church to know what was right
and what was wrong. As • statesman and member of par
liament, be regretted that words were put into her Xs-
jesty's mouth in the speech she delivered ate the opening
of parliament which had • wrong meaning, mind
to which was a lie. (Loud cheers.) It was said that a
band of volunteers had made an irruption into the Papal
States contrary to the will of the Italian government.
When he heard • bandit and • cutthroat spoken of
in way, as • volunteer himself he indignantly protested
against it. (Loud cheers.) If burglars broke into our house
did we mend for a polieeman and tell him that the volun-
teers had come (Roars of laughter and cheering.) Did the
Italian government object to the volunteers? No; it was
• lie. (Renewed cheers.) He regretted that her Majesty's
government should have disgraced themselves to put
words into her Majesty's mouth of which they all felt
ashamed. He regretted to hear an old and experienced
statesman like Earl Ruisell—(hisses and groans)—stand up
in his place in parliament the other day, on the moving of
the address, and express a regret that the Pope bad thought
fit to use mercenaries. (Renewed hisses.) The noble earl
then went on to tell several thrilling stories
as to the bravery of the Papal troops, and
the cowardice and cruelty of tae Garibeldians ;
the narrative that produced the greatest effect being that
of a young soldier who killed fourteen Garibaldians with
the butt end of his own musket, and then commended his
soul to God, and knelt down just in time to receive seven-
teen bayonet stabs from the Garibaldiana. Commenting
upon Garibaldi, he said the Romans used to deify a home,
but we bad lived to see people deify an ass, and he
described the coming conference se a conference where
there were to he bandits on one side, to discuss how to
take away an honest person's property on the other Bide.
This was only the commencement of a " great joggle,"
and if we lived two years longer we should see a very
different state of things to that anticipated by the English
prem.
Mr. Justice 11/enne (firemerly of New South Wales)
secendad the motion, which was carried unanimously.
Lord ARUNDILL of WARDOUR moved the next resolution
—namely, "That whilst we here congratulate all catholics
on their loyal attachment to the Holy Father, and the
proofs they have given him of their sympathy and filial
affection, we solemnly protest against the calumnious and
unjust attacks to which the Holy Father is subject day by
day." The noble lord supported his motion in • lengthy
speech, which was impatiently listened to.
Mr. Paoserm seconded the motion, which was, like the
rest, tarried.
Sir CHARLES CU/WORD proposed
t the following motion—
"That we hereby convey to e officers and soldiers of the
Papal army, and to their gallant alike, the expression of
our gratitude and admiration for the courage and devoted-
ness displayed by them in the defence of the Patrimony
of St. Peter, and for the heroism with which they have
discomfited its irreligious and revolutionary assailants."
Mr. WOODWABD, in seconding the motion, said Gari-
baldi was • robber, • rebel, and • murderer, and not • very
bold man, but he was not • hypocrite—he never went to
church. (Laughter.) When the man was in England
dukes and duchesses flattered him, but they could never
get him into a place of worship. He sat in • red shirt
smoking and drinking until the whole ducal household had
shouldered their nee prayer-books and gone off to church,
and then be got into • cab and drove off to spend the day
with some revolutionist. (Chem-)

The resolution was carried.
