A large meeting of citizens of London, and others,
held in the great hall of the Cannon-street Hotel, in oPP°.
sition to the Irish Church Bill, on Monday afternOrii
John Chubb, Esq., presided, and was supported by fir
following gentlemen :—Viscount Crichton, M.P., SLf
William Rose, Sir W. Carden, Mr. Morgan Howard,lur.
Charley, M.P., Mr. C. E. King, Mr. R. C. L. Bevan'
Mr. J. 0. Allcroft, Mr. Serjeant Sleigh, &c.
The Rev. Mr. DARLING opened the meeting 'Oll3l
prayer.

The CHAIRMAN, who was loudly applauded on risi't
said this was in a very small sense a party meeting ;1:
was a meeting- of Protestants of England to prat's'
against the further progress of the Irish Church Bill, $1
being dishonourable to Almighty God, and Off
trary to the best interests of the people
Ireland, and as injurious to the Throne and
11'''.
Commonwealth of this realm. Unless the '_ma ,
of Lords was a mere chamber for endorsing the proceedior
of the House of Commons, there never was a ineasur
which demanded their serious attention so much as thit
He undertook to say that the great majority of the peoPw
of England were against it. The whole of the
Protestant population, with rare exceptions, was agaiii4 t;
The sting of the measure was that it gave a perrasolla
endowMent to Popery. He, as a Nonconformist, lout
if OW
ask his Nonconformist brethren how,
Irish Church were disestablished and disendoweJ, tr,
work of God could be carried on in Irelarlu..
None of the dissenting bodies could carry on the work 1.11,
Ireland without money aid from this country. If thip
bill were allowed to pass, it would lead to an attack.°
the Church of England. Stand by the House of 109
in the coming struggle, and may God defend the rigbt•
Mr. A. GIBBONS moved the first resolution, protest;
ing against the bill as a severance of the sts4;,
from religion, as prejudicial to the aupraesic!
of the Sovereign, and as endowing the Roman Catholic
College of Maynooth. He said this bill was brought °nag°
party question ,and was intended to aggrandise a feurpers°°'
especially one, who could not bear to be out of officei
The Church of Ireland was a part of the Establlobeio
Church of the United Kingdom, and the passage of thia
bill would only increase strife. He hoped the Lords wl7°
throw out the bill by .a large majority.

Mr. HENRY MASTERMAN seconded the resolution. re
The resolution was then put to the meeting. 113...
were a few dissentients, who were greeted with hisses'-
groans, and the motion was carried by a large maioritib.
Another resolution urged the Lords to throw out t
bill, and was carried with Kentish fire.

Her Majesty the Queen, their Royal Highn- a

Princess Louise, Prince Leopold, Princess Beatrice, „
suite will leave Balmoral for Windsor, according to PreAsfy,
arrangements, on either Tuesday, the 15th, or Thio'
the 17th inst.
The Manchester Courier announces that there °l.cio
reports of the creation of now peers. Lord Hartington,
Hyde, Lord Amberley, and other eldest sons of peers 'll,O
go to the Upper House; also Irish and Scotch peers 1°
have not seats in the Lords. The rumour probably
out of the anticipated rejection of the Irish Church Bill, %0
the not altogether impossible creation of new peers by t
Premier to ensure its acceptance on another occasion.
