ROMAN CATHOLIC' CHAPEL,
JAMAICA.
Kinfiton, Nov. 29, 1839.
At a numerous MEETING of the MEMBERS of the Ro-
MAN CATHOLIC CHURCH., bold at the Holy Trinity
Chapel, on Tuesday evening, Nov.', 1839, •
His Honour the ATTORNEY-GENERAL in the Chair.
His Honour the Attorney- General having in a most brilliant
speech stated the object for which the meeting was called,
J. W. Seymour, Esq., mo',led, seconded by Mr. John Doug-
las, that a Committee be argointed to prepare and bring in re-
solutions to be submittf,t to the meeting, which was unani-
mously carried.
The Chairman appointed R. Rout, John Harvey, L. Des-
gonttes, F. Egan, J. W. Seymour, Richard Daly, John Bran-
day, John Esecidery, J. B. Sorapure, Charles Duquesnay, J.
Duverger, Clarke, F. Labiche, and James Cahill, Esqrs.,
LCorarnittee for the above purpose, who withdrew, and on
their return submitted the following resolutions, which were
unanimously agreed to.
Ist. That the meeting held in High Holborn-street on
Tuesday the 19th November instant. purporting to be an as-
sembly of the British and Native Roman Catholics of this City,
called together with the consent of the Very Rev. Mr. Fernan-
dez, bears on its front the stamp of twofold misrepresentation ;
as in the first place the Very Rev. Mr. Fernandez was never
applied to on the subject; and secondly, it was not attended by
snore than four or five British Roman Catholics, so that its re-
solutions cannot for a moment be deemed expressive of the
feelings of that body, as Mr. Shapnon would wish to have it
supposed.

2.d. That whilst this meeting deplores the necessity of its
being called together to defend our Rev. Vicar Apostolic
from the unmerited imputations which have been cast upon
him, it must and doth hereby declare, that it is the duty of all
true Roman Catholics to bow to the lawful authority of the
Church in all its spiritual matters, and that those who do not
do so are unworthy of belonging to our sacred religion.
3d. That this Meeting is fully cognizant that the imputations
put forth in Mr. Shannon's speech, as published in Saturday's
Gazette, against the Very Rev. B. Fernandez, are utterly
false and groundless.
4th. That a deputation be appointed to wait on our Vicar
Apostolic with an address, and also to acquaint him, so far from
the respect, veneration, and esteem, in which he has always
been held by his flock being lessened by the late foul attack on
him, that this meeting regards him, if possible, with stronger
feelings of affection than before, and that never on any previous
occasion did he possess more fully their unlimited confidenco in
his zeal for the promotion of peace, charity, and religion,
amongst all classes of his congregation.
sth. That even were the charges against the very Rev. Be-
nito Fernandez true, which they are not, the insinuations put
forth in Mr. Shannon's speech, " that the Committee of St.
Patrick and St. Martin's Church were playing the game of the
above Very Rev. Gentleman " is utterly contrary to truth, as
they have used, and will continue to use, every exertion to pro-
rure the presence of Pastor-. or the United King•dom,...tways,
however, refusing to accept of, or obey any, save those who are
duly recognised by our Right Rev. Vicar Aposto!ic Benito Fer-
nandez.
6th. That the entering the names of three official characters,
namely, the then Governor, Lieutenant-Governor, and Attor-
ney-General, for higher subscriptions than they had signed for,
was the act of the Rev. Mr. Murphy and the late universally-
respected Major Dillon, 64th Regiment ; that the then Go-
vernor and the Attorney-General on seeing the list of sub-
scriptions (printed by Mr. Shannon) remonstrated and re-
quested the Committee to insert against their names the exact
sums they subscribed, which was not done by the Rev. Mr.
Murphy and Major Dillon, the acting members of the Com-
mittee, they not thinking it a matter of sufficient importance to
make a contradiction of the subscription list necessary—especi-
ally as it is usual in England to put down persons of rank for
larger sums than they actually subscribe.
7th. That the conduct of Wellwood Hyslop, Esq., is of such
a character, that the Roman Catholics of this city cannot con-
ceal from themselves how improper it is to admit him to act in
the affairs of their body, and that he be requested to abstain
from all interference with their future proceedings.
Bth. That this meeting pronounces the third Resolution of
Thomas Shannon to be destitute of " Truth," for these rea-
sons—First, because the Holy Trinity Chapel in this City was
erected in 1809, and opened for Divine Service in 1810 by the
Rev. J. Rodrigues, a Portuguese Clergyman, who was one of
the principal founders, and Don Carlos Estero, a rich Spanish
merchant of this city, who exercised his influence with his
countrymen and with other merchants of this city of all reli-
gions, and induced them to contribute with that literality
which to this day, is one of the most laudable traits in the cha-
racter of the Kingston gentry. Secondly, because it is not
true that the Catholic congregation has suffered for the want of
religious instruction ; c.n the contrary, the zeal of the Very
Rev. Vicar and of the Rev. Messieurs Duquesnay (a native of
this city) Dnpeyron (a Frenchman), and Cotham (an English-
' man) in imparting religious instruction, is well known to the
Catholic community.
Resolved—That the above Resolutions and Address to
be presented to the Very Rev. Vicar Apostolic, be published in
the " Morning Journal," " Royal Gazette," " St. Jago Ga-
zette," " Gleaner," and such of the English Newspapers as his
Honour the Chairman may direct.

Apos-
tolic, on Wednesday the 27th instant, presented the following
Address:—

To the Very Reverend Benito Fernandes, Vicar Apostolic,

Szc., Sze.
Very Reverend Father—Deputed by a numerous and respec.
table meeting of trite Roman Catholics, many of whom have,
for al dog series of years, been under your immediate spiri, ual
direction—we-come to express the deep sorrow your congrega-
tion have felt, and still feel, at the most extraordinary speech
delivered by Mr. Thomas Shannon, at the St. Patrick's
Chapel, on the 19th day of this instant month.
We shall not comment long on the false, garbled, and slan-
derous statements contained in the speech alluded to, as part of
them can be denied by incontrovertible facts, and the rest has
excited the indignation, not only of your congregation, but also
of all honest men of different persuasions. Indeed, the author
and publisher of such libellous statements has attempted to
apply
an antidote to the wound he has inflicted on you, in pay-
ing a well-merited tribute of respect to your private virtues and
character as a Christian Minister, and for your pious and ex-
emplary conduct as the pastor of a Spanish congregation, as if
your eongregation was solely composed of Spaniards, whereas
he knows that the contrary is the case. This shows the animus
of the man.
6th. We have thought proper to make these few prefatory
remarks, and we now beg, Very Rev. Father, to assure you
gas you shall continue in your character of \ icar
all true Roman Catholics shall consider and obey
thatAp Apostolic,
as
tolliocn
you, as the only spiritual head of the Roman Catholic Chapels
which now are, or may hereafter be, erected and built within
the limits of your diocese.
Allow us, Very Rev. Father, to conclude with the most
sincere and fervent wishes of us, and of your congregation ge-
nerally, that the Almighty may be pleased to grant you happy
days, and to preserve your life as precious to your friends and
congregation.
We'are, with great respect, Very Rev. Father, your most
humble devoted Sons in J. C.

Mettos, Peter Constantine, P. L. Duquesnay,
John White, Emanuel Leon, John Auvry,
Alexander Clermont, and J. Douglas.
The Very Reverend Vicar Apostolic, on receiving the fore-
going Address, was pleased to return the following answer :
-you, my dear friends, must be well ware of the pleasure
with which your kind Address literally overpowers me.
.< As a man, 11'01 grateful to you for your expressions of at-
tachment, but, as a minister of Christ and Vicar Apostolic, I
am incomparably more delighted with your respect for our holy
religion, which has been insulted in my person. Though un-
worthy of the situation to which the holy See has thought
proper to raise me, yet I cannot discover in the motives by
which I have been hitherto actuated anything but sincere de-
si:es of advancing mutual peace amongst the Catholics, the
salvation of souls, and the glory of God.
Rest assured, that SO long as I shall hold the onerous office
Jf Vicar Apostolic, I shall continue to promote, to the best of
„y power, the
.happiness and welfare of those committed to my
!barge. To this, my time and life are devoted; in this con-
sists Gentlemen, I again thank you for your address."
N.8.--The signatures of 1,400 Roman Catholics were ob.
the day, and attached to the address.
