NEW PRISON BILL.

Yesterday a public meeting, convened by the Pro;
testant Association, took place at Exeter Hall, ford°
purpose of petitioning Parliament against the clause le
the New Prison Bill, which provides for the appoint'
ment of Catholic Chaplains in English prisons, to be
pail out of the National Funds.
W. S. BLACKSTONE, Esq., M.P , was called to tbe
Chair, who shortly addressed the Meeting, and stated
he looked with consternation upon the rapid stride°
which Popery was making, but he trusted though th,e
Protestant feeling of this country had slumbered,
tt
would now be roused to the danger of Popish innors'
tion, and would at once join and strangle tho hydra.
The Rev. Dr. CROLY proposed the first resolution,
to the effect " that the meeting viewed with consider'
able alarm a Bill before the House of Commons, having
for one of its provisions the appointment of teachers
ie.
English prisons professing a religion differing from tbto
of the Established Church, to be paid out of the ny
tional funds ; and that such a provision was a violation
of Protestant principles, and injurious to the interests
of true religion,
After this, Mr. MACLEOD WYLIE read an extract of
a letter from a gentleman in Ireland, to show the ing!it:
ence the priests had in that country, and the manner
which they interfered with the prisoners.
The Rev. Mr. Thclwall, the Rev. Mr. Page, and se.
veral other gentlemen addressed the meeting, and after
petition had been adopted to Parliament against the
clause in the Bill to be presented to the House of Lords
by the Duke of Newcastle, and to the Commons by Istr:
Blackstone, the usual vote of thanks was passed to tm"
Chairman, and the meeting separated.
