The? Meeting which took place at Trinidad
on the 17th of November was for the purpose of
deliberating on the best means for supporting the
interests of the West India Planters, and contro-
verting the arguments that hale been urged
against them. The Report of this Meeting is
very long, and is not sufficiently interesting to
‘nir Readers in general. One object of this
Meeting was to propose that a Newspaper should
be established in this metropolifi, under the di-
rection of a Mr. JAMES MacQuErN. Such a pro-
position seems to be unnecessary, .and not calcu-
lated to forward the end proposed, for it would
always he subject to the sucpiciou of partiality.
It is, however, honourable to the present
Public Press of London, since it implies
that none of our Daily Journalists can be

bought to support interests in opposition to their
own decided opinions ; and this is a compliment
which the Public Press, in a great degree, may
be fairly said to deserve. On the other hand,
we have surely newspapers more than sufficient
to deluge the country with intelligence and ape.

to have a facination attached to it, and people

GEORGE ROBERT DA W 90N, ESQ. M.P.—We
regret extremely the want of room at present to
insert the report in the Londonderry Northwest
Farmer of Saturday last, of a dinner given in ho-
- Deur of Mr. DAWSON, a gentleman universally
esteemed for his private character and official abi-
lity. Upwards of 1.50 Gentlemen of the County
were present on the occasion. The town itself
was all life anti bustle, in consequence of this
compliment to the character of Mr. DAWSON,
and as a testimony of the respect and regard of
hie constituents. Mr. DAwsoN, on his entrance,
was received with the warmest acciamations,which
were renewed during the day. After the usual
loyal and constitutional toasts, Mr. DAwsoN ex-
pressed his acknowledgments in a speech which,
for sound knowledge, right principles, and pa-
triotic fervour, has seldom been excelled. In the
course of his speech he entered copiously into the
nature of Popery, and the artifices of its advocates.
He illustrated his reasoning by a reference to the
works of Dr. LINGARD and Mr. BuTLEuI,
staling such facts to prove that the Roman Ca-
tholic Doctrines were unchanged and unchange-
able, notwithstanding all the assertions of its
modern defenders that it is much softened
and improved in its character and designs.—
Dr. DOYLE, and his versatility were fully
described in this masterly speech, as well as other
artful and violent champions of Popery. The
speech made a very strong impression on the
company, and proved that Mr. DAwsoN is one of
the most able, enlightened, and eloquent States.
