A T a numerous and highly-respectable MEETING of the
11 SOUTH LANCASHIRE and CHESHIRE PRO-
TESTANT ASSOCIATIONS, held in the heatre-Royal,
Fountain-street, Manchester, on Tut, DAY, the 26th
September, 1839,
J. EVANS, Esq., the Boroughree ,in the Chair,
The following Resolutions were proposed and carried by ac-
clamation :
Moved by Dr. O'SULLIVAN, seconded by C. S. PARKER,
Esq., and
Resolved unanimously,
That the public measures of the last few sessions of Par-
liament too plainly betray the increase of Popish influence
practically exerted upon the members of her Majesty's Go-
vernment, and loudly call for such an unequivocal demon-
stration of Protestant feeling in the people of this country as
will convince the administration, or any administration who
may be called to the management of the interests of this vast
Empire, that Great Britain is still determined to retain her
Scriptural Institutions, in Church and State.
Moved by the Rev. H. STOW ELL, seconded by Dr. Coosz,
and

In the Calcutta Christian Observer for 1838, there is a va-
luable paper upon the progress of the opium traffic, which is
the production of one who wrote from actual observation.
The trade, which, till a recent period, had been confined to
the store-ships stationary at Lintin, was then, the writer as-
serts, actively prosecuted, by means of eighteen square-
rigged vessels, along the whole coast of China, from the is-'
land of Chusan, OR the.llorBl-.4q, to 'the island of Hainan,
on the south-west. The stationary ships at Lintin had also
been' increased in number. Besides these, there were thirty-
two European schooners daily engaged in carrying the article
through the very mouth of the Bogue, up to Whampoa and
Canton. Twelve months be_tf►a no one supposed that it could
have been introduced, at least so soon, within the Bogue ; but
the experiments made upon that point had turned out'so suc-
cessful, that even the foreign passage boats, which had been en-
gaged in plying between Macao and Canton, had all abandoned
their legitimrte employment, and were then exclusively oc-
cupied in smuggling opium on the river. Several of the mer-
chant-ships, proceeding to Whampoa for their regular car-
goes, had lately taken with them from Lintin opium to a large
amount, and disposed of it at an enormous profit. Nay (a
fact hitherto unprecedented in the trade), a number of Euro-
peans had themselves lately become personal smugglers in the
contraband commodity, and had actually succeeded in deliv-
ering several chests, by means of small boats, seven or eight
miles up the country, and above the city of Canton.—Bom-
bay Times, May 29.

Resolved unanimously, • •
That this Meeting determine to petition, and to promote
petitions to both Houses of Parliament, imploring our legis-
lature to withhold all further grants of public money from
the College of Maynooth, and also from any other measure of
Education compromising the great Protestant principles of
the'Constitution, or either directly or indirectly recognising
Popery.
Moved by the Rev. 11. AVNEILE, seconded by J. CLARE,
Esq., and
Resolved unanimously,
That this Meeting, satisfied of the advantages already de-
rived from the operations of the Protestant Associations
which have been formed in several large towns in England
and Scotland, in promoting sound views of national religion,
and circulating valuable information amongst the people, de-
termine to use their influence for • the formation of similar
Associations throughout the Kingd
J J. mo.
EVANS; Chairman.
The Chairman having left the Chair, it was moved by the
Rev. W. HUNTINGTON, seconded by the Rev. Hu Gil CAMP-
BELL, and
Resolved unanimously,
That the Thanks of the Meeting he presented to the Chair-
man, for his very able conduct in the Chair.
