The Rev. R. J. S. MAGEE then came forward, and was
received with deafening cheers, accompanied with the
Kentish fire. Afterthe cheering had subsided, the speaker
acknowledged the kind manner in which the chairman had
spoken of his (Mr. Maghee's) late father and himself. As
regarded himself it was unmerited, considering the little
he had done in the cause. Referring to the flattering
manner in which the chairman had spoken of him, he said
that he had gone far to drive away from his memory all he
intended to say. For his own part, he would much
rather speak in the presence of any man rather than
the chairman ; and the kindest thing that the chair-
man could do would be to go quietly to sleep whilst he
(Mr. Magee) addressed the meeting. (Loud laughter and
cheers.) Mr. Dallas had asked him to give some account
of the mission in Dublin. Mr. Dallas, however, had made
some omissions in his address as to the stateof the mission
in Galway. He had told t hem about the churches which had
been built in various parts of Galway, but he had not told
them anything abouctlie chapels which had also been closed.
Now, sometime ago, a gentleman from the neighbour-
hood of Galway had told him an anecdote on this snbject.
The gentleman in question one day met a man who kept
a wayside inn in the neighbourhood of Connemara, and
in a conversation with this innkeeper (who was a Roman
Catholic), the gentleman said, " Your chapel is there on
the other side, is it not ?" " No, sir," replied the man,"
" there is no chapel there now, for the people in that part
of the country have all become Protestants, and I have
now to go eight miles to chapel." (Hear, hear, and
cheers.) There was also another point referring to that
part of the county y, which he might name to the meeting.
Dr. APHale had lately said, referring to a district in that
part of Ireland, that there were no "jumpers" there;
and yet Dr. M' Hale was in this inconsistent with
himself ; for although he had stated that there had
been no converts to Protestantism there, he singularly
enough, at the same time, boasted that he had again con-
verted 701) of those who had gone over to Protestantism.
(Hear, and laughter.) Now what were the facts
as to this alleged re-conversion of 700. For about
a fortnight, just as Dr. M'Hale was closing his efforts
in this locality, he (Mr. Magee) was residing there,
and he used every means which man could de-
vise for the purpose of discovering the truth or false-
hood of this statement, procuring information from
both Roman Catholics and others. lie did not take the
general statement of any individuals, but proems,:
names of the persons who had been so re-converted, and
what was the result ? why that out of the large number of
converts to Protestantism, there was not one single indi-
vidual re-converted back by Dr. Mac Hale who had, since
coming over to Protestantism, been a communicant.
There were 16 re-converted in all, and nine of them were
members of one family. None of the nine had ever been
more than occasional a ttendants at church ,whilst the remain-
ing portion, during the time he (Mr. Magee) was there, had
again come round to Protestantism. Now that he could
vouch for from his own personal enquiries ; and it was
well that he should put this fact forward, because so
many statements on the subject had been made by Dr.
M'llale. (Hear, hear.) Now, as to the practical work-
ing of the society in Dublin. Three years ago in Dublin,
there was not one pulpit open to them for the preaching of
controversial sermons against the doctrines of the Church
of Rome. He (Mr. Magee) remembered that two or three
years ago, his father and others applied to the different
rectors of Dublin, and they were uniformly refused. Now
he thought it spoke volumes for the success of their
society, when he told them that at the present time there
was not a single Church in Dublin—with one exception—
where they were not joyfully received whenever they went to
preach controversial sermons ; and now, where before they
were refused, they were even solicited to come forward
and preach these controversial sermons ; but as they have
at present only one local agent of the society in Dublin,
and as the local clergy, from having to attend to the
wants of their own people, could render them little assist-
ance, controversial sermons were not preached as often as
they might be. Now he urged upon such meetings as
the present the necessity of strengthening their hands by
giving them the means of employing more ministers in
Ireland in the service of the society. Roman Catholics,
who were beginning to suspect the doctrines of their own
church, were coming to the society every day, wishing to
have their doubts satisfied, and there were so many that
their agents had really not the time to reason with them
on the question. He held in his hand a letter from one
of the agents of the society, describing the feelings of
Roman Catholics be had visited, who stated that their
faith in the Church of Rome was broken, and that they
were determined to leave it. The speaker here read
several extracts from a communication he had received
from a lay agent of the society, detailing several
facts and anecdotes connected with his labours
amongst the Roman Catholic population of Ireland, in
the district around Dublin. On one occasion the agent
was speaking with a Roman Catholic boy sbout sixteen
years of age, and from a conversation with him, he found
he could not tell who Jesus Christ was, but on being
asked what the Eucharist was, the lad replied that it was
the body and blood of Jesus Christ ; thus showing that tine
priests taught their people mummeries of superstition
only, in order to keep them in ignorance and darkness.
This lad had a cart containing milk vessels, and on being
questioned, he admitted that his master put water with
the milk. On being asked by the lay agent if he did not
think it was wicked to put water into the milk, the lad
replied " No ; it will give a little profit, and the priest
gives them leave to do it." (Hear.) Whilst in conversa-
tion with another of the society's lay agents, a Roman
Catholic had said to him, " I do not know a man who is a
firm believer in the Roman Catholic religion, and I believe
the day will come when all the people in Ireland will
turn to the Protestant religion." A short time ago, one
of their agents in St. Thomas's parish was going through
his parish, and went to the door of a house of a poor man
in one of the streets. The woman of the house told him
that there was no person belonging to him there, but a
young woman who was lodging there, and who was ill,
called to him to come up stairs, and on his complying
with her request, she said,—" I have been for a long
time anxious to see a minister here, and I am glad you
have come. lam a Roman Catholic at present, but I
am dissatisfied with the religion, and I am determined to
leave it. Those tracts that you sent, and the sermon I
heard, have shewn to me the errors of the Church of
Rome ; and the worst of it is, that I cannot get
the priest to answer any of the objections against the
doctrines of our Church. The priest drives me from
the confessional when I ask these questions." (Hear,
hear.) This girl and her sister had since become
members of the Protestant Church. After detailing some
further instances in illustration of the operations of the
society, the speaker said that, in conclusion, be would
urge on the meeting the necessity of their united exer-
tions in behalf of this society. My reasons, sir, con-
tinued the rev, gentleman, are numerous and various.
We ask you to send missionaries to the Roman Ca-
tholics of Ireland. We asked you, not in vain,
to render us assistance when our people were star-
_

ving from famine. (Hear, hear.) But I say that- if,
when we asked for your sympathy for our starving
people, we found you to aid us, we now feel that we have
right, as a matter of justice, to call upon you now to
help us when we seek to get rid of the Roman Catholic

Chirch in Ireland. I say-as a matter of justice we have
a right to call upon you, because it was by a compact
between the Pope of Rome and a British monarch that
Popery was first represented in Ireland ; therefore, I say,
that we have a right to call upon you. But there is also
another ground. We owe you Maynooth, sir. (Cheers and
laughter). We owe you this, that while you leave the pro-
testant clergy of the Irish Church to feed themselves, and
clothe themselves, you feed, and clothe, and educate the
Roman Catholic priests, and I think they get £3O a-year
pocket money besides. (Hear, hear, and cheers.) The
speaker concluded by an eloquent appeal to the inhabi-
tants of Liverpool to do their duty by supporting the
society, and from what Liverpool had already done he
thought it almost needless to ask her to come forward
now. He concluded amidst loud cheers by proposing the
next resolution.

Mr. CHRISTOPHER BUSHELL, in seconding the resolu-
tion, acknowledged the justice of the charges which the
rev. gentleman who had preceded him made; but he must
add, that if England had been guilty of introducing Popery
into Ireland, she had herself suffered severely for her
crime. It was impossible, from the intimate relations
between the two countries, that it could be otherwise. He
agreed, also, with the rev. gentleman, that Liverpool
ought to put forth its energies to promote the objects of
this society. He was sorry to observe that at that meeting
they had a small portion only of the mercantile body
engaged in the cause, and strongly urged upon that body
the duty of coming forward to its aid. Mr. Bushell con-

eluded by thanking the rev. speakers ;17;ITailpi;ceded
him for the very valuable information which they had
afforded to the meeting. He seconded the resolution,
which was in substance, that the efforts of the society had
been productive of most beneficial effects, and that it
ought to be zealously supported.

The Rev. CHAIRMAN made a statement, showing that,
although the income of the society has yearly increased
since its commencement, its wants had increased more
than proportionally. He regretted, with his friend Mr.
Bushell, to see so few of our merchants present ; and he

would urge those that were present to appeal to their
friends on 'Change for assistance. The Rev. Doctor, in a
very humorous manner, suggested that such societies
never prospered without the aid of the ladies; and he

,
urged upon them them to form a committee amongst
themselves.

After a most impressive appeal, of which at this late
hour we cannot give even an outline, the Doxology INAS

MARKETS.

MARKETS FOR MANUFACTURES

MANCHESTER.—We have to note a growing stagnation of

business during the past week. There are no purchases in pro-
gress, except such small ones as may be necessary to keep up
assortments; and it is consequently difficult to say what con-
cession spinners and manufacturers might be induced to make
from the quotations of the 30th ult. Many of them are too well
engaged to betray any anxiety at all about further sales ; and
of course no weakness is betrayed by them. But the buyers of
India mule yarns, and of some other descriptions, would be
able to supply themselves, from one or another, at a decline of
4d. per lb. ; and yarns in general may be considered to have
yielded fully id. to id. per lb. from the highest quotations
lately obtainable—warps having receded more than cops or the
general run of bundles. In printing cloths no change is per-
ceptible; but 40-inch skirtings have lost lid. to 3d. per piece.
The manufacturers of domestics, which are the cheapest articles

•
in the market, are not inclined to give way in any degree.
Root DALE.—The demand for flannels continues very good,
notwithstanding that part of the year is fast approaching when
it usually falls off. Also in the warehouses there is a fair
amount of orders coming in from the country, quite equal to
what it has been for some weeks past. In wool the demand is
steady, and prices firm.

LEEDS.—A slight falling off in the demand for heavy cloths
is apparent, but for those of middle qualities the demand con-
tinues pretty good at late prices. Some orders have been given
out for the American market, and, altogether, the prospect of
the spring trade is cheering.

NOTTING FIAM.—M any machine-owners complain of want of
demand for their goods, particularly those ',producing articles
made of cotton ; and their difficulty is more and more enhanced
by the increased and still increasing price of yarn, for which
article there appears to be at present no knowing what price
will be the maximum. For plain nets there is yet a fair sale,
as also for silk goods. The hosiery trade continues brisk in
nearly every branch; and as there are orders in hand for arti-
cles to be made that will occupy the workmen for some time to
come, there is a certainty of this class of operatives being full
of work for the winter—particularly as there is no stock on hand
to supply these orders, nearly all of them having to be with-
held until the goods are made.

LIVERPOOL GENERAL PRODUCE

wards have been sold ; prices are Id per gallon dearer, and for
Jamaica even a greater advance is required.—Tea: The market
has been very firm during the week, and prices are well main-
tained for all descriptions ; but business has not been on quite
so large a scale, chiefly owing to holders being unwilling sellers.
—The sale of 465 bags saltpetre to-day realised 32s to 32s 3d per
cwt.—An improved inquiry has sprung up for tallow, and a
very extensive business has been done at irregular prices, but

and 2000 bales have been sold, at £l4 5s for low middling, to
£l7 lOs for fine.

LIVERPOOL COTTON MARKET,

FRIDAY, NOVEMBER 12

The continued favourable advices from America, giving cre-
dence to enlarged estimates of the crop, have caused holders to
offer their stocks very freely, and, as the trade has restricted
their purchases, the market has been exceedingly flat, and
prices of American descriptions show a decline of id per lb. on
all qualities excepting " fair" Bowed and Mobile, which are
only an id lower. The business in Brazil and Egyptian, with
the exception of a large speculative purchase in the latter kind
in the early part of the week, has been on a moderate scale,and
they have participated in the decline to the extent of an id. Su-
rat has also been in more limited request, and, as the late heavy
arrivals are offered freely, the quotations must be considered
fully id per lower. Speculators have taken 9240 American,2o6o
Egyptian, 30 West India and 710 Surat; and exporters 940 Ame-
rican, 50 Pernam, and 1820 Surat. The demand to-day has been
limited, and the market closes very heavy, 3000 to 4000 bales
only having been sold.

We had to-day a good demand for Wheats from consumers,
a few purchases made for Ireland, and transactions to some
extent took place for investment, prices ruling fully Id. per
bushel above the rates of Tuesday. Flour must be noted 3d.
to 6d. per barrel higher, but not a large business done. Malt-
ing Barley is quite as high, and Grinding Barley rather dearer.
Egyptian Beans in more general request, and the value steadily
supported. Oats are again rather higher, but Oatmeal remains
in slow request, without change in value. Indian Corn held
for rather more money : a good inquiry for arrived cargoes,
few of which remain undisposed of.

LIVERPOOL CATTLE MARKET,

MONDAY. Nov. 15

Compared with last Monday, we had but a slender supply of
Cattle and other live stock at to-day's market.' This no doubt
arose from the fact, that, owing to the late heavy storms from
the eastward, many of the Irish steamers were unable to land
their stock in time for to-day's market. Beef was in active
request, and Mutton also commanded a ready sale at higher
prices. A general clearance was effected at an early hour, the
market closing actively. We quote as follows :—Best heifer
Beef, 5d to sid ; oxen, 4id to sd; inferior to middling, 4d to
4id. Best wether Mutton, 6}d; inferior to middling, to
6d; ewes, Od per lb, sinking the offal. Numbers at market :
Beasts, 1658; Sheep, 3846.

LIVERPOOL PROVISION MARKET,

FRIDAY,

NOVEMI3Eit 12

There has been a moderate business in Beef this week, but
the market is very firm, and holders by no means pressing.
A few sales of Irish and French Pork for shipment are report-
ed, at steady prices, and the French shippers now demand an
advance. Irish Bacon is Is. to 2s, per cwt. lower. No Ame-
rican or French here. Several additional arrivals of Lard have
tended to further depress the market, and the sales for the
week are on a very trifling scale, at a considerable reduction
on former rates.

IRISH PROVISION
MONDAY, Nov. 15,

MARKET,

The Butter market was exceedingly languid all last week;
the few sales effected were chiefly in good middling and low

qualities, at from 68s to 755. Fine descriptions continue almost
neglected, but prices remain unaltered. To-day the market
looks more healthy, the dealers being more anxious to operate,
and holders are firm at the quotations :—Fir.e Waterford, SOs to
82 -

; Belfast, 78s to 80s; Carrick and Wexford, 79s to 81s ; Cole-
raine and Ballymony, 76s to 78s; Limerick, 74s to 765; Sligo,74s
to 78s; and pickled Cork seconds, 69s to 70s per cwt.—lmported
from Ireland, from the Bth to the 13th inst., both inclusive.-
220 kegs, 615 crocks, 332 boxes, 252 barrels
