ANTI-CATIIOLIC MEF,TING.

(PROM OUR CORRESPONDENT.)

BIRMINGHAM, Fee. 24.—A meeting of the Clergy of
the Archdeaconry of Coventry took place this day at Me-
riden, about 14 miles distant from this town. The Re-
verend Mr. Spooner, Archdeacon of Coventry, &c. was in
the chair. Reporters who attended were excluded, as it
was understood that it was not so much a peUic as a
private meeting.
A very temperate petition to the Houses of Lords and
Commons was agreed to,—indeed the most temperate I
have yet seen from the clergy of any diocese. Its tenor
was somewhat different from that usually adopted. It
argued, that the petitioners must deprecate these grants
of political privileges by which so very few Roman Catholics
(not one in many hundred thousands) can be benefited,
whilst, by the evil effects of such grant, the well-being of
the Protestant Church established in Ireland is so fearfully
threatened." About .2O clerical gentlemen were present.
It is singular enough that the venerable Chairman de-
clared himself opposed to the objects of the meeting, as it
was his opinion that concession should be made to the
Roman Catholics. The petitions are to be presented in
the Lords and GinIMOTIS by the Earl of Eldon and D. S.
Dugdale, Esq. M.P.
A meeting of the Protestants of Birmingham takes place
in a few days to petition agtinst the Catholics.
