MEETING OF MAGISTRATES.—Yesterday, there was a
large attendance of magistrates at a meeting that took
place at the large room at the Court-house, Chapel-
street. The meeting was private, and lasted a long
time. We understand the subject was the new dock law
that came into operation on the Ist of this month, and
which is very penal, in regard to leaving goods on the
dock quays beyond 48 hours. As reporters were not
admitted, of course we cannot give the discussion, nor
the result of the deliberation. No doubt it will be given
in an official form.

THE CoNcratr HALL.—On Saturday night there was
quite a full and respectable attendance at this Hall, to
hear and see Mr. Charles Cotton, in his now universal

Thistle." Since his last appearance here, he has been
very successful in the provinces, and has added a good
deal to his already unrivalled sketches—all from nature

which almost set the audience mad with delight
the greatest hit of the day, and was called for three times
He is the only single-handed performer known at present,
who can truly maintain so many characters—at the same
time his singing is inimitable, and his acting of the first
order.

MONS. JULLIEN'S FAREWELL CONCERTS.--LaSt night
M. Jullien gave the second of his farewell concerts at
the Liverpool Philharmonic-hall. The programme was
good, and the performance of Wieniawski on the violin
first-rate. He appears to have warmed to his audience
since he was here last; and on being enthusiastically
encored in the Carnival de Venice gave a Russian air,
which has been arranged for the Piano-forte by Thalberg,
and played with great expression, gis first piece was a

solo with variations, composed by himself, with
considerable melody and opportunities for every varier!,
of execution. Madame Anne Bishop sang an air es
Mercadante's, from " conte di Parigi," and "oa
in the stilly night," which was loudly encored, and she
substituted " Home, sweet home," and sang it exquisitely;
The instrumental music was similar in character an
merit with Jullien's previous concert. In the " Fern
Leaves " polka, M. Duhem greatly distinguished
himself on the Cornet-a-Piston, and was very ably
seconded by another performer on the same instruments
The attendance in the gallery was very good, but the
boxes and body were not well filled.

with a number of tunes very creditably executed,
An ample and substantial tea was provided through
Milburn, of St. Anne-street. When the tea uteri
were removed, the chairman announced that he had
received some letters of apology from parties who were
a
to be present, but unable to come. He then proceedef
to propose a sentiment, which he said was a
distinguished sentiment, and which was once hale;
with acclamation throughout the length at
breadth of the land, and when what might
,";
called the shibboleth of their convivial tests of
Church and State, it was then considered no crime
give precedence to the spiritual over the temporal order'
It was now construed into an offence that they intro"(
duced upon the first of their toast fist the name °'
the vicegerent of Christ, " the Pope," and successor
of St. Peter, who guided the bark which was e°ll.
mated to the church by St. Peter, amid the vieeiss.-
tudes of time, and storm, and ages. He therefore Pro;
posed the health and prosperity of that distinguished
individual who now sat governor in the Church of S:"
Peter--" Pope Pius the Ninth," (applanse). The send,ment was received with great - enthusiasm. -11"-
Fitzpatrick then favoured the meeting with a soil'
after which the health of " the Queen ' was proposear
and responded to with great cheering and applause. 111
Misses Goldings then sang "The voice of the Gres
Creator," very cleverly, and were warmly applaude,'
Father Sheridan spoke to the sentiment of the " Englls
and Irish Hierarchy." The other sentiments propo6,
.
were as follows : " The• Clergy of the Diocese," by 11e'
Mr. Anderson; "Dr. O'Brien and the Young I%l°i
.Society," by Rev. W. A. Bulbeck ; " The memory ee

PROTESTANT DEMONSTRATION LAST EVENING.-St
-
Concert Hall, Lord Nelson-street, last evening,cr br
members and friends of the St. Paul's Protestant ,Asse d
.tion, made a demonstration. The Rev. George 11,1
presided, and the following gentlemen were on the 2'34:
form :—the Revs. D. J. Hirsch, W. R. Hunt, „"'
Robinson, and Messrs. Byford, W. B. Keer, Edmons°'
Lancaster, Lowe, Pinnington, Sinnott, &c. After tear
the Chairman called upon the Rev. W. R. Hunt, who
read prayers. The Chairman then stated that this vc:7l
the fourth anniversary meeting which had been he 't
under the auspices of the St. Paul's Protestaers
Association, which was founded about five much
ago by a few persons who were very 1:03;‘,
interested in the district of St. Paul's, and who were n;
sirens of counteracting the influences of Popery, whl,
were very great in that neighbourhood. The Rey. ft
Robinson, who was received with the Kentish fire, ne„„'
addressed the meeting, and congratulated the chairersh
upon the large attendance. He then expressed a 'Ted
that they had present amongst them a distinguish
visitor to the neighbourhood—Cardinal Wiseman --(Ws
and laughter)—because if his eminence had been preseeb
he would have seen that they did not look very iiic,r
like the denizens of "a poor, miserable couutrle,o
as England was described in the "Gar
of the Goree," a book which treated in a very fi
manner some of the commandments, and which ,4
printed at the expense of the government of this conill'ot
for circulation amongst Catholic soldiers. (Cries
"shame.") He would have liked to have asked t'ij
Cardinal who stole the child. (Applause.) I golf
have liked to have asked him, too, who loaded P"s„ ,
people with chains to cast them into cold damp dung'
for no other crime than that of obeying the spcci s
command of our Lord —" Search the Scriptures." P;4
would also have asked his Eminence who threet
people by thousands into dungeons, for no etlit,,
offence than that of hating tyranny and lovinr, libel 10
(Applause.) Compare England with the RomanbCathe,,
countries of the Continent, and say if England was
miserable country ! Referring to the Cardinal's serel,:of
at Birkenhead, which spoke not of the simple truth the
Christianity, it all amounted to this: " The Church, 1)
Church, the Church, and we." The sermon closed s`q,ir
some flagrant falsehoods as to the doctrine taught by `e.
Lord remaining intact in the Romish Church. The 'Ad.
D. I. Hirsch, minister of the German Church, 0c
dressed the meeting, and commented, with solidseverity, upon the " impudence" which charactellic,
the sermon delivered by Cardinal Wiseman at Po.
kenhead. The Rev. W. It. Hunt, and °tfie
gentlemen, also briefly addressed the meeting.. Te,;,te
