This work contains a plain and complete description of the ana-
tomy and physiology of the reproductive organs, and of their relative
conditions in health and disease. The author, who has taken the
highest medical honours, as evidenced by the diplomas and testimo-
nials inserted in the work, is the only legally qualified medical man
who has exclusively, and for many years, devoted his studies to
the treatment of these complaints. He may be consulted with ad-
vantage by all those whose constitutions may have become debili-
tated through secret practices acquired is youth, or by the excesses
of later years, whereby the pleasures of life are marred, the objects
of marriage frustrated, and existence itself rendered a term of un-
ceasing misery and regret.

SUNDAY TRADING PREVENTION BILL.—The Bill to
prevent unnecessary trading in the metropolis. as just
amended by the Select Committee of the House of Commons,
provides that if any person shall on Sunday, within the me-
tropolitan police district, sell or expose for sale any goods,
chattels, or other things; or if any dealer in meat, fish,
poultry, game, or wild fowl, shall on Sunday, after nine
o'clock in the morning, deliver such articles of consumption
at the residence of the purchaser, he shall, on conviction, be
fined twenty shillings. The provisions of the proposed Act
are not to apply to apothecaries, chemists, or druggists, sell-
ing medicines, drugs, or other articles for medicinal pur-
poses; nor to persons selling milk or cream between ten
o'clock, A.m., and one o'clock, POI.; nor to persons between
the same hours selling fruit, pastry, cooked victuals, writing
materials, or any beverage not being wine, spirits, beer, or
other fermented or distilled liquors, other than beer at or
under lied. per quart, or ginger beer, ' or any newspaper or
other peTiodical ; nor to any one selling tobacco after one
o'clock in the afterroon ; nor to any person selling fuel,
food, or fodder, before ten in the morning; nor to any one in
his dwelling place selling to any lodger; or to any person in
and on board of any steam-vessel, or other vessel, any provi-
sions, liquors, or refreshments. These provisions are not to
extend to publicans and licensed victuallers. Goods hawked
or exposed for sale may be seized by.the police.
MONEY MARKET—The quotation of• gold at Paris
is about 3 per mille discount, according to the
new tariff, which, at the English Mint price of
31. 17s. 100. per ounce for standard gold, gives an ex-
change of 25.10; and the exchange at Paris on London at
short being 25.021, it follows that gold is 0.30 per cent.
dearer in Paris than in London. By advices from Ham-
burgh the price of gold is 426 per mark, which, at the Eng-
lish Mint price of 31. 17s. 100. per ounce for standard gold,
gives an exchange of 13.51; and the exchange at Ham•
burgh on London at short being 13.6, it followsithat gold
is 0.d9 per cent. dearer in London than in Hamburgh.
The course of exchange at New York on London for bills at
60 days' sight is 110;1 per cent., and the par of exchange
between England and America being 109 23-40 per cent.,
it follows that the exchange is nominally 0.67 per cent. in
favour of England; and after making allowance for differ-
ence of interest and charges of transport, the present rate
leaves no profit on the importation of gold from the United
States.

THE FLAGS OF ALL' NATIONS, &C., FOR THE
CRYSTAL PALACE.—In addition to the flags of all nations for
the decoration of the Crystal Palace, which have been for
some time in the course ot preparation at Mr ;B. Edgington's,
the design of whioh is is accordance with the directions of
thel respective; consuls, flags for all our provincial towns
from whence contributions have been received for the exhibi-
tion, are also being prepared, in four colours, inscribed with
the name of each respective town. The hole number of
such flags will consequently amount to about 300. —ln con-
sequence of a stray sparrow having, at the commencement of
the past week, been observed within the building on the
arrival of the workmen in the morning, but which was at
first supposed to have obtained ingress at one of the ordinary
entrances, yet, eventually, the numbers of feathered visitors
materially increasing, a watch was set, when it was disco-
vered that these intruders gained admission through the
louvres or ventilating apertures, and accordingly, it was
found necessary, in order to protect the goods from injury, to
direct Mr. B. Edgington to cover those openings with net-
ting which has accordingly been done, requiring no less than
a length of four miles to effect that object.
DISGRACEFUL IGNORANCE:—A few days since a
man named Newmarch was brought up at Worship-street
Police-court, charged with a brutal assault upon his wife and
daughter. The face of the wife was terribly contused, and one
of the eyes of the daughter, a little girl between eight and
nine, was both bruised and swollen, and it was evident that
they had been most shamefully treated; but upon the
daughter being questioned by the magistrate, she answered
that she had never been sent to school, never went to church
or chapel, hal never been taught the difference between good
and evil, and, in fact, had not the slightest idea of the con-
sequences of speaking falsely. The magistrate could not
therefore Receive her testimony, upon which the wife said that
her eldest son could speak to the same circumstances, and
the son, a grown up young man of 22, was therefore placed
in the box to give evidence ; but upon his being questioned
in a similar manner, he gave precisely the same answers,
and the wife herself acknowledged that the whole of her
family had been brought up in the same way, although her
husband earned very' good wages, and that she herself had
not attended divine service during the whole time she bad
been married. The magistrate severely reprehended the
woman's conduct, and, saying that it was one of the most
disgraceful instances of utter neglect and carelessness on the
part of a wife and mother he ever knew, ordered the husband
to find bail for his appearance on that day fortnight, and
directed the woman to take her son and daughter to the
minister of her parish without loss of time, that they might
in the interval acquire some notion of their duties to them-
selves and society, and be fit, when the man was again
brought up, to give such evidence as would be likely to ren-
der him amenable to justice.
CONVENTION OF ROYAL BURGHS.—The annual
meeting of the Convention of Royal Burghs is to take
place here to-day, in the Council Chambers, at twelve
o'clock. It is expected that there will be a numerous at-
tendance of representatives from the different burghs; and
the business to be taken up is, we observe of considerable
importance, and comprises, amongst other matters, the
proposed Bill as to the number of councillors in the smaller
burghs; the roposed General Harbour Bill; the amend-
ment
of the Entail law; the repeal of the Game-laws; the
. Prisons (Scotland) Bill; Lord Melgund's Edncation Bill;
the Ordnance Survey, of Scotland; the propriety of a har-
bour of refuge at the mouth of the Firth of Forth, &c.—
Scotsman.

Minutes.
The CHAIRMAN said—Who toyer difference of opinion
might exist before coming here as to the propriety of
holding a meeting at this particular season, I think no
one who stands on this platform and beholds the state of
this hall—reminding him so forcibly of old times—
(Cheers)—will for one moment hesitate in coming to that
conclusion now.—(Loud cheers.) Gentlemen, I need not
remind you that it is most unusual to invite our repre-
sentatives to meet their constituents during the session
of Parliament, and if nothing—for we won't affect to
deny it—of an extraordinary character had occurred, we
should have seen no reason to depart from our usual
rule at this particular period. But lam quite sure, in
the present state of parties in- the House of Commons,
having observed the narrow majorities by which the Pro-
tectionists have been defeated—majorities of 14 and 13
—no man will hesitate to put this question to himself,
whether it is not just possible, in the present uncertain
state of parties, for these same Protectionists to propose
a resolution, not for the re-institution of the corn-laws,
but for some pertion, some composition of that system
of monopoly which we believe it was the intention of
Parliament, as it was of the people, should be extirmi-

nated for ever.—(Great cheering.) lam not going to
tell this meeting that we are in alarm, or that we are in
any fear or trepidation from an impression that Lord
Stanley is going, by any hocus pocus or legerdemain, to
restore protection. We believe there'll be
" Many a banner rent and torn,
And many a knight to earth be borne,
And many a sheath of arrows spent—
lire Scotland's king do cross the Trent—
and that to attempt to re-impose the bread-tax would be
one of those experiments which it would behove his
Lordship to avoid.—(Loud cheers.) But, gentlemen, it
must be evident, disguise it as we may, that we are fast
approaching to a general election.—(Hear.) No man
who observes the divisions, the changes of parties in the
I louse, will deny that such an event is approaching, and
is likely to overtake us, if not immediately, at the close
of the present session of Parliament—(Hear, hear.)
Here we are, with only three-and•a-half out of the
seven years which form the natural period of
life for a Parliament, with plenty of money in the
national exchequer, a large stock of bullion in
the Bank, a prosperous trade, and everything
favouring a state of quiescence and peace in the country,
and yet we have a Government from whose grasp power
is apparently slipping—at all events, a state of things
which will probably lead to a dissolution of Parliament,
and the time is coming when men will ask themselves
who shall be the parties next to govern, what shall be
the principles on which the future Government of the
country shall be conducted?—(Cheers.) Now, under
these circumstances, ought we not, like rational
men, like people who have had some experience of
political changes, to askourselves how we are pre-
' pared for such an evenot, and how far we are in
a position to defeat the Protectionists, if it should come
to a hustings ' question? It cannot be denied
that we have numbers, that we have the millions in our
favour. It cannot be denied that the millions are in
favour of retaining those measures which it has been the
policy of wise and beneficent statesmen to give; but,
unfortunately, those men who conceded these excellent
measures, neglected to concede the right amount of
voting power to the millions, which would enable them
to meet their opponents on equal grounds. But this
omission of the Reform Bill us to the voting power is
not all ; we have the majority of the electors in our
favour, notwithstanding the disadvantage at which
the people were placed in that respect ; but they
are so placed, so distributed—so largely accu-
mulated in one place, and so thinly scattered in
others, that the opinions of large constituencies are neu-
tralised by those of small ones, and the national mind is
not represented.—(Hear.) We meet here, for instance,
to return a couple of representatives to Parliament with
eight or ten thousand votes, and we find that a number
of miserable places, like Thetford and Andover, with two
to three hundred votes, send men to Ps rliament who have
virtually as much control, though not •equal moral influ-
ence, in questions affecting the national welfare as our
own representatives.—(Hear.) As far as the represen-
tation of Manchester was concerned, he had no fear of
an appeal to the electors on this question or any other.
There were no doubt, even on the Manchester Ex-
change, men who would like to see the policy of Sir R.
Peel reversed; but he had no tear as to the result of an
appeal to the electors who returned the present Members
to Parliament. If any of their opponents doubted it,
and thought the time had come for a change, he in-
vited them to try. We know (he continued) the
honour of representing a great town like Manchester
is a prize too glittering not to tempt the as-
pirations of men of family and influence who seek
political and Parliamentary connexions ; we know
that well enough; but we have detetermined to stand
by our representatives in Parliament.—(Cheers.) We
are determined to stand by the Manchester school, and
are as determined to see the principles of that school re-
presented in Parliament, as we aro desirous of again
seeing Prime Ministers becoming our pupils—(Laughter
and much cheering)—a statesman learning our cate-
chism. We look upon Manchester as the grand fortress
of free trade, of financial and Parliatner<tary reform—
(Cheers)—and we will defend that fortress: against open
enemies without, and treacherous friends w ithin.—(Loud
and tumultuous cheering.)
Mr. M. Ginswe, M.P., on rising, was recived with
loud and continued cheering. Ho said, the. Chairman had
informed them that it was not asual, during the con-
tinuance of a session of Parliament, to in vite the Mem-
bers for this city to meet their constituents. He could
not help feeling, however, that it was a privilege to be
permitted at any time to present himself before the
large, enlightened, and independent constituency of Man-
chester, to give an account of his stewardship. and to
express his sentiments regarding the public -affairs of
the day.—(Cheers.) It had been his good fortune
since he was returned along with Mr. Bright to go cor-
dially along with him and Nit.. Cobden on nearly every
beet called to deal.—(Hear.)
question on which they had
There was, no doubt, an interval dur:ng which he was
connected with the present Governme.et; but he could
say, in reference to that matter, that when he found ho
an earnest and sincere could not, consistently with
pro-
motion of hie views, continue a connexio,a with Govern-
ment that was not without nasty advantages, he gave up
that connexion, and could now honestly say that he had
never regretted the course he then took.—(Hear, hear.)
Since the commencement of the present session they
had had a resignation of the Government ; there was
a short period when they might be said to be with-
out a responsible Government at all, and there
was another short period during which the Go-
vernment was in commission, in the hands of the
Duke of Weelington.—
(Laughter.) There had been two
Budgets and a groat deal of debate, but be was sorry to
say that, up to the present mcment, they had done but
very little.---(Hear.) The Ministerial resignation had
one good result. Ho was inclined to give Lord John
Russell credit for that resignation, as a skilful political
manceuvre—(A laugh)—for it laid bar© the nakedness of
the land on the other side of the question.—(Hear.) It
had shown to the world who they were who composed the
Opposition, and what they would be at ; it lifted up the
screen, and showed the real nature of the party, headed
by Lord Stanley and Mr. Disraeli, now aspiring to go-
vern this country.—(Hear.) Mr. Disraeli insinuated
that they did not want protection; but that declaration
seemed so him to resemble the veil on a lady's face,
through which they were able clearly enough to discern
the features behind it.—(A la igh.) The party with which
he acted had been accused of being factious, as if the
independent Members of tie House of Commons had
anything peculiarly to do with the political events that
had taken place. He bad
Oren a fair support to the Go-
vernment, and had never voted against them except when
he believed that not to do so would violate his principles.
—(Cheers.) As to the Budgets he was glad the window-tax
was repealed, and he was not averse to an equitable house-
tax. It was sometimes said to the Liberal Members that
they were afraid to support any tax, but he had no fear
in coming before his constitsents and telling them that he
was not opposed to an equitable house-tax. Inasmuch
as he preferred direct taxation on property to those in-
direct takes that limited the employment of labour, tend
fettered the extension of trades he was not afraid to e:e-
press his opinion in favour of a just and equitable house-
tax.—(Cheers) He regretted, however, that in the
second Budget sufficient advantage had not been taken
of the large margin of income over expenditure to meta
indirect taxe 3. He believed that the revenue of this
country, under free•trade policy, was a growing revenue ;
he believed, too, that the
expenditure might still be re-
duced, and that consistently with the maintenance of
public credit much more might have been done to-
wards the repeal of indirect taxation.—(Hear, hear.)
They had now a direct promise from the head of the
Government of a Parliamentary Reform Bill.—(A cry of
" We dunna want so zany promises," and laughter.)
The gentleman cautioned him not to place Leo much
confidence in Ministerial promises. He would not pre-
tend to prophecy as to the extent of the scheme the
Government was meditating; but he viewed the reform
question somewhat in the same light in which the Duke
of Wellington spoke of war. He said England could
not have a little war. He (Mr. Gibson) would say,

England could not put up with a little Reform Bill.
—(Cheers.) If they were to move in this question at
all, they must have something worth fighting for.
They did not, as yet, know what was in the Noble
Lord's mind. It might be a large and comprehen-
sive measure, or it might be a petty meddling with a
few of the corrupt boroughs, extending perhaps their
beundariee, and adding to them a few agricultural voters.
The time, however, had come when they must deal with
this question in a large and liberal spirit.—(Hear.) The
present system was so monstrous that it absolutely
seemed as if the constitution were based, not upon the
numbers admitted within its pale, but upon the numbers
excluded.—(Hear.) He did not say they ought to map
the country out with mathematical precision, but they
ought to secure that every Member of Parliament should
be responsible to a large and independent electoral body.
—(Hear, hear.) Whatever was the measure, it should
be accompanied by the ballot.—(Cheers.) The present
electoral system was a disgrace to this country. A cal-
culation was made some time ago in the Times news-
paper that a general election cost about 2,000,0001.;
and this very year those who were anxious for the suc-
cess of the Exhibition in London cried out, " For
mercy's sake, don't have a general election—it will cost
2,000,0001., and the people won't have money to expend
in coming to London to see the Exhibition."—(Laughter.)
Then, how did the Times say this money was expended?
To use the expressive words of that journal, the
money was, to a great extent, expended in "swilling and
guzzling."—(Hear.) Could they boast of being a free and
enlightened people, and yet not put an end to a system
of corruption so flagrant? —(Hear.) Nothing could
be plainer than that when a candidate bought a constitu-
ency he would sell them again.—(Cheers.) There were
27 small boroughs in England and \Vales, containing a
gross constituency of 10,000, that returned 43 Members,
while Alanchester, with 11,000 electors, returned only
two.—(Hear, hear.) After a reference to the scenes
that had taken plate at St. Alban's, the Right
Honourable Gentleman, to show the unscrupulousness
of many of the voters in the small boroughs, said
he once knew the case of a barber who, at an elec-
tion time, shaved a gentleman, the friend of one of
the candidates, and being well paid, no doubt, for his
trouble, promised to vote for that particular candidate.
Hearing it rumoured that the barber intended, after all,
to vote for the opposing candidate, the gentleman called
and remonstrated with him for breaking his promise,
when he coolly replied, " The fact is, sir, I shaved the
other gentleman after I shaved you."—(Laughter.) Be-
fore he left the subject of reform, he could not help re-
ferring to the fact that, by a return made some years
ago, the number of 10/. houses in Manchester amounted
to 17,000, while the electors on the register amounted
to only 11,000.—("Hear, hear," and cry of " 'Tis the
compounding system.") No doubt that was the effect
of the compounding system; and it afforded another
proof of the care that was taken at the passing of
the Reform Bill to restrict the franchise by means of
the ratepaying clauses that clogged that measure. Why
should an arrangement between the parish and an owner
of property for compounding the rates be made a ground
of disfranchising the occupiers? His friend Mr. Bright
had given notice of a clause in a Bill now before the
House to remedy this evil, and he would most heartily
support him in his proposition.—(Hear, hear.) He
trusted that in the Reform Bill which they had been
promised there would be embodied these four things—
extension of the franchise, more equal distribution
of electoral power, vote by ballot, and triennial
Parliaments.—(Cheers.) Much was said about the
views of the Protectionist party, but he had no fear of
their being able to re-enact the corn-laws.--(Hear,
hear.) He might be told that the Protectionists would
have a majority next election, but he remembered that
it was in a Parliament where protection had a majotity
that they repealed the corn-laws—(Cheers)—and a Par-
liament pledged to protection too.—(Hear, hear.) He
knew there were Protectionists who fancied that the
commercial districts were out of conceit with free trade.
He had been asked by a gentleman if he thought the
constituency of Manchester were not a little disappointed
with the result of free trade, and if they were likely to op-
pose very stoutly a return to the corn-laws?—(A laugh.)
His answer was, that if he would try he would find the
feeling as strong against protection as it was in 1846.
(Hear, hear.) He asked them now if there was any re-
action on this question ?—(Shouts of " No, no.") He
thought when his friend read that reply that he would
give up the notion be had imbibed of there being any
schism upon this point in Manchester.—(Hear, hear.)
As they wore there to explain their conduct in Parlia-
ment, he would allude to a measure that had occupied
much of the public time—he meant the Bill having
reference to what certain Roman Catholic prelates
should be called. There bad been a great question
in Parliament and the country as to the titles of
Roman Catholic prelates, and a Bill had been brought
into Parliament, not to state what those Roman
Catholic prelates should be called, hut to declare, by a
solemn Act of the Legislature, what they should not
call themselves.—(Cheers.) He, however, retained the
opinion he had expressed at a meeting some time since
in Manchester, that it was better to do nothing by
legislation on this matter—(Cheers)—and that it
would be a wiser policy to allow these voluntary
Roman Catholic prelates, who did not ask
either for law from them, or for money from
them—(Great cheering and some hisses)—to call
themselves what they pleased.—(Hear, hear.) He
was passing no opinion in favour of any particular
religious tenets. He had his own religious convictions,
and he gave to every man the free unfettered exercise of
his.—(Cheers.) Those who opposed this Bill were
taunted with being limping Protestants; they were told
that they had a tendency to Puseyism, or that they had a
feeling of indifference to the great advantages of the
Protestant Reformation in a religious point of view.—
(Hear.) Some said they were going over to Romanism
if they supported this Bill.—(Hear, hear.) His answer
was, that ho opposed the Bill as unwise in policy ;
and, though Mr. Hugh Stowell might impugn—(Here
the voice of the speaker was lost in a storm of cheers
and hisses, and great confusion, which lasted for several
minutes. Cheers and groans for Mr. Stowell were alter-
nately called for and vigorously responded to by the
respective partisans. Order being at length restored,
the Right Hon. Gentleman proceeded.) Though that
gentleman might impugn the Protestantism of his friend
(Mr. Bright) and himself, he would undertake to say,
that if it were a question of the respective Protestantism
of the parties he should not bo surprised if an impartial
jury declared the Protestantism of Mr. Bright to be more
pure than that of Mr. Hugh Stowell.—(Great cheering
and some hissing; most of the audience upon their
feet in considerable excitement.) The object of the Bill
was to give a fresh sanction and extension to an Act
that already existed, by which the Established Churches
of the kingdom were protected. Now was he, as a
Member of Parliament, to give fresh sanction to the
Protestant Church in Ireland?—(Cheers.) Was it not
the most monstrous injustice that while they maintained
a Protestant Church in Ireland, which, as a religious
establishment, could be of no service to the great body of
the people of that country, they wore not satisfied with
that injustice, but must go still further, and say they
would not allow the Roman Catholic population to sup-
port their own dignitaries in their own way, and by their
own voluntary contributions ?—(Cheers.) They kept a
Church for the Irish people that was of no use to them,
and then they said the Irish people should not keep
another for themselves.—(Cheers.) The ministers of
the Established Church took the title of " Reverend;"
why should a penalty not be imposed upon the minis-
ters of those non-established religious bodies who took
the same title ? There was no difference whatever in
the principle.—(Hear, hear.) This was a Church Bill.
(Cheers, and some hisses.) It was admitted freely that
if there was no Established Church it would not be
right to interfere—(Cheers)—and that then perfect
equality would be given to all religious bodies, all sub-
mitting to the law, which would bo a law common to
all.—(Hear, hear.) But because they had chosen one
religious body to be the Established Church, and
showered on them all their favours, giving their epis-
copal body great temporal rank and wealth, and putting
the clergy in a high and influential position in the social
scale—because they had done this, were they to make it
a reason why they should cast indignities on other reli-
gious bodies with whom they admitted they would have
no right to interfere but for the existence of that
Established Church ?—(Cheers.) The fact was that
the Church party had got some qualms of con-
science—they were not at ease in their minds,
and they had taken this opprtunity to direct the
public odium against some imaginer), danger from
Papal aggression, from the fear that the public eye would
criticise too closely the corruptions that were prevailing
in the English Church. --(Cheers and groans,
and
another round of cheers and groans for Mr. Stowell.)
The English Church had taken a most impolitic c%r of
as regarded its own safety in hounding on the o_
this country against their Roman Catholic
countrymen. The real point to which,
a beeneg English
they ought to direct their attention was hello% oz-,

root of this movement against

the free importation of bi-
shops that actuated the promoters. of monopoly in com-

(Cheers.) All be asked_ was, that the Roman Catho-
lics should be permittedfreely to carry out their own
ecclesiastical arrangements in their own way, and he
pressed for the same principle with reference to all other
bodies.—(Cheers.) In conclusion, the Right Hon.
Gentleman observed that there were not a few signs of
weakness in our present condition. The condition of
Ireland, the state of education in England and Wales,
and the partiality of our institutions, were all sources of
weakness, and he anxiously hoped to see them all re-
moved. He would rely more upon the removal of all
real grievances as a Bonne of strength than upon
the parade of armies or the distribution of warlike fleets

over the seas of the world. Foreign nations did not
measure our strength by what his Hon. Colleague had
on a former occasion described. as mere brute force, but
by the extent to which they believed the people were
,atisiied with the institutions under which they lived
and with the justice of their laws—(Cheers)—when' every
man felt that he was something in the land, and had a
voice in the election of those who made the laws which
he was called on to obey, and that he participated in all
the benefits of the Constitution.—(Loud cheers.)
Mr. BRIGHT, M.P., who was received with loud and
reiterated cheering, said—if he had not been aware of
the tact that they were watchful observers of the course
of Parliamentary proceedings, and that they would put
the saddle on the right horse, he should have ben
somewhat afraid to appear before that large assembly,
for he was obliged to confess that they had
been ten weeks in London, in almost constant
attendance upon what were called their Parliamentary
duties, and that hitherto they bad not succeeded in
doing anything practical as a duty at all.—(Hear, hear,
and laughter.) They had been talking about two
questions, which everybody believed had been settled
long ago—two questions which had occupied the atten-
tion of the politicians of this country for forty or
fifty years almost incessantly, ono of which was believed
to have been settled in 1829, and the other in 1846
Corn and Catholics—(A laugh)—precisely the same
things that their fathers so long fought about ; and .
which, those now engaged upon them failed to do their
duty, it was not unlikely their children, after them,
would have to fight about too.—(Hear, hear.) Both of
these questions were out of place in the House of Com-
mons. Parliament had no right to be meddling with the
importation or the price of corn, or with any question
touching the particular religious opinions which any por-
tion of the population of this kingdom might entertain.
—(Cheers.) He had never spoken from that platform
on any subject that bad received from the audience a
more entire and enthusiastic response than when
he spoke of justice to Ireland-, and• of that mon-
strous and infamous institution, the Protestant Church
of that country. (Here the speaker was for some
minutes interrupted by the noise and confusion that
prevailed in the meeting, through the noisy disapproba-
tion.oesryd
and interposition

On all questions connected with their Roman
friends. o f
Catholic fellow subjects he had uniformly asked for
them the same liberty that he claimed for himself, and
nothing more. He had never asked that Government
should foster or cherish and encourage them, but should
simply give them the rights and privileges extended
to other sects. In 1845 he voted on all accasions

against the Maynooth grant, but no Roman
Catholic was offended by his opposition to that
grant, for he did so distinctly on the principle that Par-
liament had no right to tax the people of England,
who were of all sorts of religious belief, for the purpose
of carrying on au establishment solely devoted to the
education of the clergy and ministers of a particular
creed.—(Hear, hear.) But when the Maynooth grant
was once passed he had never voted for the motions
brought forward for its repeal. When Parliament
came to the conclusion that all endowments should be
put an end to, then he would vote for the repeal of the
vote to Maynooth, but not sooner.—(Hear, hear.) But,
more than this, he never approved of the course taken
by the present Government and their Lords-Lieutenant
in Ireland, in giving precedence to the Roman Catholic
bishops in that country over Protestants; neither did
he approve of the precedence given by law to the
Protestant bishops in Ireland. He wished to see
all these distinctions abolished ; and he was not in
favour of a Catholic establishment being built up i❑ Ire-
land to stand along side of the Protestant establishment
that had too long existed in that country, so th.tt the
Catholic establishment might soon become as subservient
to the Government as the Protestant Established Church
had ever been, and the ministers of the Catholic establish-
ment leave Ireland to be ruined without a murmur. He

and his friends had been charged with opposing the Go-
vernment in the matter of the Papal Bill, and they
were told that Lord John Russell was defending the
Protestantism and liberty of England.—(" So he is.")
Now, there was not a member of the present Govern-
ment who did not, when in opposition, denounce the
Irish Church. Mr. Macaulay, formerly a member of the
Government, said it was the most odious institution

in Europe, and in this opinion every man now con
netted with the Government then concurred. But,
though they had been five years in office, they had
never made the slightest attempt even to modify that
odious institution—indeed, they always voted for its
maintenance; and one of them, the Home Secretary, had
absolutely retracted the expressions he made use of in
opposition regarding it.—(dear, hear.) Further than
that, they made, when out of office, the most explicit
statements in favour of the Catholics of Ireland being
placed on a perfect equality with the Protestunt Church.
Lord J. Russell, in 1843. stated, that in any plan adopted
towards the Catholics " the principle of equality, with
all its consequences," should be followed out. Lord
Grey, in speaking of the Irish Church, said he should
never disturb the country by proposing any measure
that did not go to the root of the evil; that there must
be no insulting assumption of superiority on the part of
Protestants; and he added that he wished to see Roman
Catholic prelates take their places on the episcopal
bench in the House of Lords.—(Hear, hear.) Such
were their sentiments in opposition. But he maintained
further that the recent aggression, as it was called, had
been distinctly invited by the speeches of Lord John
Russell in the House of Commons. In February, 1846,
he observed, that as to preventing persons assuming
particular titles, nothing could be more absurd or puerile
than to keep up such a distinction—(Hear, hear)—and
on the 17th of August, 1848, after being two years in
office, he stated, in reply to Sir R. Inglis, that the only
ground on which the consent of the Crown to the ap-
pointment of Catholic bishops could be maintained was
that of an arrangement by which certain benefits would
be conferred on the Catholic clergy—in other words,
that the veto of the Crown could only be obtained in re-
turn for some solid advantages which it bestowed. But
this agreement was one which neither Churchman nor
Dissenters in this country wero willing to see carried
out. The Churchman, for example, said he was in fa-
vour of perfect freedom and toleration to the Catholic
religion; but surely, if he was not willing to agree that
the Government should make a compact with the Pope,
then he ought not to object to the Pope appointing his
bishops as he pleased. In opposing this he acted with
great inconsistency. and the Dissenters equally so.—
(Hear, hear.) There was no good principle on which
Government could claim to interfere in the least de-
gree with appointment of the Roman Catholic bishops.
Ho was not one who thought bishops so essential as
some persons considered them to be.—(A laugh.) But
then, if a conference of ministers, for example, was
essential to the Wesleyan body, he was not at
liberty to interfere with that arrangement, and if the
Catholics believed that it was essential for their Church
to have a hierarchy, and that that hierarchy should be
complete, was it fur him to protest against it and to go
whining to Parliament for a law to prevent it?—
(Cheers.) That was an inconsistency he would not be
guilty of if it were to drive him from political life for
ever.—(Cheers.) Mr. Gibson had made some observa-
tions about the Church of England. He need not say
that in any observations he was about to make he was
not instigated by any feelings of opposition to the doc-
trines of the Church, or by any hostility to the great
body of its members, with very many of whom he was
not entitled to put himself in competition in reference to..
religious things. Ho spoke of one of the departments of
the State, of a political institution called the Ewtbltila
Church.—(Cheers.) They had had this Church. almost

(Laughter.) But be thought it was a low Ns.
state them in round numbers at 6,000,0001. a year, while
for the Irish Church he might add 1,000,0001. more.
Now, though 6,000,000/. had not been enjoyed for the
whole 300 years, yet the Church had always enjoyed an
amount corresponding to that in proportion to the
population. Now, what was the Church for ? They
had always heard that it was the great bulwark against
Popery—(A laugh)—and Dissenters had been enjoined
to come to the rescue of the Church against the assaults
of what was called the common enemy.—(gear.) But
what was the present state of the Church? By law it
was the United Church of England and Ireland; but if
it was a church united by law it was by no means an
harmonious church.—(Laughter.) There were troubles
among some other religious bodies just now, and he
hoped they would all end in the good of the people and
religion; but there was scarcely one in such a state of
dismay as the Church of England.—(Hear, hear.) They
had all read lately an address from the archbishops and
bishops of the Church; but all the bishops did not sign
it, and in order to get those who did to agreo about the
terms of the address it was necessary to
,carve and clip
and dilute it so much that when it came out it was so
worded that it could not do much harm; while posi-
tively
w e posi-
tively it could not have the slightest effect for good.—
(Laughter.) But now they had another phase of the
Church question, in the:case of a bishop of the west of
England—(Hear, hear)—one who was not to be trifled
w ith—a man, he would venture to say, who would
never have been made a bishop if they had
known what materials be was mado of.—(Laugh-
ter, and cries of " Name.") Ho meant, of
course, the Bishop of Exeter. He had seen
him occasionally when he (Mr. Bright) was at the bar
of the House of Lords, and he must say there was a
great deal of mischief in his countenance.—(A.

people of England that when men were in earnest, when
there was true zeal for religion among any body of reli-
gionists, any attempt to bind that religious body to-

—(Hear, hear.)
Look at what the Church had comp
to. A gentleman very well informed on these

tive character, Dissenters being notoriously and pur-
posely shut out from the most part of them.—(Hear, •
hear.) There had been no fresh air in Osford.—(Laugh-
ter.) It had received no fresh blood, no new life; and
vast funds were there expended for purposes of educe-
tion, that annually turned cut large numbers of young
men, who had entirely repudiated the principle of Pro.
testantism, and were doing their utmost to persuade the
people of this country to return to the bosom of a church
which these young men believed to be better than the
church to which they belonged.--(Hear, hear.) But
they did not, at the same time, find that from the Scotch
establishment, which was never half so clumsily and
corruptly formed as the Established Church of this
country, or from the Free Church of Scotland, the
aopf tiisrtse—they the Independ-
ents, from any of
Ponrtezboyrtetrhieanßs
these either the people or the ministers were disposed to
return to Rome.—(Cheers.) What argument did he
draw from all this? The argument, the conclusion to
which ho was inevitably driven was, that they
had an
establishment with 15,000 educated ministers, and with
6,000,000/. of revenue for its maintenance--establiehed
not merely to be a bulwark against Popery, but to sup-
press Popery, acid yet they found that church a feeder to
the Church of Rome, and almost convulsing the ceuntry
by the distractions which it had of late years introduced
into religious questions. But the Dissenters ware not
free from blame. The course which many Dissenters
had taken had been a most unhappy one. He did not
believe the bulk of them, or of their ministers, had joined
in this anti-Papal cry; but too many had. At one meet-
ing of Dissenters they gave three cheers for the Queen,
which meant three cheers for the supremacy of the
Queen in ecclesiastical matters, he presumed.—(No, no.)
Why, everybody would give three cheers for the Queen,
and it was quite ridiculous for these Dissenters to do so
in the marked way they had done if they did not mean
anything more than usual by ft.—(Hkar.) Now Dissen-
ters would never have acted as they had in this matter if
there had been no Established Church.—(Cheers.) They
would not have interfered, any more than the Americans
did when Archbishop Hughes was appointed to the dio-
cese of New York. They would have asked themselves
whether the establishment of the Catholic hierarchy was
a proof that Catholicism was spreading itself in Eng-
land, and if they found that it was so, they would then
have resolved to bestir themselves to show the excellences
of the reformed faith, and to save from falling into Rome
as many as they could bring under the influence of their
reason and argument.—(Hear.) After referring to the
past services rendered by the Nonconformists to the cause
of liberty, and regretting that they had not on this occa-
sion assumed a nobler and loftier attitude, the Hon.
Gentleman went on to observe, that notwithstanding all
he had said, no one who heard him had the slightest
suspicion that ho was a Roman Catholic.—(A laugh.)
He had been charged with many high crimes and mis-
demeanours in his time, but, as yet, nobody had accused
him of that. If there was a man who rejected and dis-
claimed more completely and reservedly than another
all those powers that priests of every Church—(Cheers)
—were too apt to exert ever those with whom they came
in contact, he was that man.—(Cheers.) His colleague
hal spoken of a gentleman who, on that platform and
elsewhere, had represented them as not being Protes-
tants, and as betraying the Protestant cause. He pro-
tested against that gentleman saying anything of the
sort. He (Mr. Bright) was much more of a Protestant
than he was.—(Cheers.) He was for the most complete
freedom among all classes of religionists, and for the
most complete system of educating the people.—
(Cheers.) He was for practising the truth and kindness
and charity inculcated by Christianity, though forgotten
often by Protestants, and he would back his plan for
keeping Protestants Protestants, and bringing Catholics
to Protestantism, against all the vituperation that could
be employed.—(Cheers.) But now a word as to the po-
litical evils of the question. They bad been ten weeks in
the House of Commons, and now they came before that
meeting with an empty wallet. They had not
done a single thing that they could be commended for.
Parliament had been kept talking on this imaginary
question of sentiment, and everthing else had been
neglected, for they had not had one week's good work
altogether.—(!-tear, hear.) It was said the Govern-
ment bad been in difficulties. Now, he did not think a
nation a eat to ruin because a Cabinet was occasionally
in difficulties—(Hear, hear, and laughter)—but at all
events the Manchester party were not to blame. The
more active Members of that party, vise Mr. Cobden,
Mr. Gibson, and himself, had not brought forward any
one question that led to a division, Lecanse they did not
wish unnecessarily to embarrass the proceedings of Go-
vernment or of Parliament.—(Hear, hear.) It was
quite true that a public writer, who was so saturated
with self-conceit that he had not room for a single bit of
candour or a single speck of truth—(Laughter)—had
been endeavouring to instil into the minds of the consti-
tuency of Manchester that they (the Members of the
Manchester party) were making themselves unpleasant
to the Government, and embarrassing them as much as
possible. Nothing could bo more untrue.—(Cheers.)
As to the Papal Bill, which affected 8,000,000 of the
people, was it likely that such a measure could be
brought forward and the Government not find it opposed
by many of its usual supporters? But, in truth, there
was no cohesion on their side of the House; the Whigs
were not of the same party with them, and they never
pretended they were.—(Cheers.) The Whigs held the
policy that the Whig was for the Whigs—(A laugh)—
that is, for Whig supremacy, and that three or four
families had an hereditary right to govern this country.
—(Cheers.) The objects which they (the Manchester
party) sought for were well known to the constituency;
they never disguised them, and they were doing no un-
fair thing by advocating them in the House of Commons.
—(Hear, hear.) If the Whig Government was weak it
was because they would not govern by a policy that was
agreeable to the minds of those who sat on their own
side of the House, and repudiated the majority of those
who appeared nominally as their friends in Parliament.
—(Bear, bear.) Ile had once brought forward on that
platform the composition of the Cabinet. It bad been sf
little altered, but not much, since then. There was Lorde
Truro. Lord Lansdossme, Lord Clanricarde, Lours Sir Grey,

13 gentlemen would discuss round the council-table the
merits of a Reform Bill in the spirit in which it would be

see that in a thorough Reform Bill half these men would
never find their way into a Cabinet at all.—(Hear, hear.)
The end of their five years' •
policy was this, that they
had almost delivered the country into the hands of the
Philistines.—(A laugh.) But, being in ea-trends, the
Government had come forward and promised a measure
of Parliamentary reform.—(Hear, hear.) It was a great
step that Lord John Russell had promised this, and it
was also an important step that Sir James Graham had

ZOOLOGICAL SOCIETY ,Or LONDORN—Thi most re-
cent addition to the metigerie of the Zoological Society in
the Regent's-park is a most interesting one. The society
have acquired a female elephant with a calf, not more than
six months old, at her side. This is the first instance of so
young a pachyderm ever having been seen in Europe; and,
as it exhibits all the habits of infancy, it cannot fail to be-
come a most attractive object both to the members and to
the public.
