MEETING AT BANGOR.

The Meeting of the Inhabitants of the district of
Bangor, to take into consideration the propriety of pre.
'tenting ith Address to hi. Majesty, and Petitions to the
Members of both Houses if Parliament, praying their
lefusal to.grant further- po:itical power to the Roman
Catholics than they at present eijny, was held, pursuant
to advertisement, at the National School Room, in Ban•
gor, at six o'clock on the evening of Friday last ; and a
most respectable Mesting it assuredly was. All the
Gentlemen of rank and properirin the neighbourhood
residing on the spot were present, except the few (ir
wculd, perhaps, seem invidious to name them) whose
opinions are in favour of what ia called Roman Catholic
Emancipation, and those who are lukewarm in their
opposition to it. About 700 persons were assembled.—
Rostat.WILLIAMS, E.g. of Tynyfftid. moved that the
Magistrate of the district do take the Chair.

C. &monmy Gamest; Esq. R.N. of Bangor, se-
conded the motion, and a large show of hands imme-
diately took place.
WILLIAM Warn, Esq. of Glasenfrye, then rote, and
after a few introductory remarks as to the object for
which he had no doubt they were assembledor is. to oppose
y every legal means the admission of Papists to politi..
cal power, went on to state, in most forcible terms, the
danger of admitting Roman Catholics to further parti
cipation. He concluded by. moving a series of Reso-
lutions and an Address to the King.
PAVIA BARTHONs Esq. 41 Glenadda, seconded the
motion for passing the above, and said that he felt the.
greater pleasure in doing so, because none years backlit
looked upon the question of CatholicEmancilation quite
in a different light to that in which he at present viewed
it. He then thought it a religious question. He now
believed it to be purely a political one, and this was
erident from the illegal conduct of the demagogues of
the Roman Catholic Association—lL:hem). They gloss.
their aspirations for political power with religion—they
use religion as a cloak to conceal vie infernal come.
vances 'which they are repining- to enforce the comes•
sion of all that they demand--(Cheers); The veil, how.
ever, which they used to hide the deformity of their
idol was of too thin a texture to prevent its discovery,
and under the garb of religion the cloven foot would
appear en spite of them—(Cheers).
The:Resolutions and Address having been separately
Pat in !ha affirmative from the Chair, the hands of
nearly. en in the room %ere held op in fivour of the
motion for their adoption. They. were then put in the
negative, and go bands of two persons only were
lifted'up againell them.
There being so small a minority,
The Rev. Mr. REYNOLDS intimated that if the Gen.
men who dissented had any thing to advance as seasons
for so doing, or any other resolutions to propose, he
would insure them a patient hearing Nopersons, how.
ever, came forward; and the Magistrates, conceiving
that perhaps the persons who held their hands up
against the motion might not understand what they were
about, put she vestion a second time, when no hand
being exhibited against them, the /es °lotions and ad-
diets Isere declared to be passed unanimously, amidst
lotsd and long continued cheering.
THOMAS Jotters, Esq. of Novo, V:en rose, and said it
'devolved upon him to propose the adoption r f two Pess
titions, which he held in his hand, to the Wines of
Parliament, of the same tenor as the Address to his Ma-
jesty. which had just been .passed su unanimously.
The Petitions, baying been real in Welch and Eng-
lish, were seconded by Gamma Davies. Esti,. of Ban.
goy. who addressed the Meeting with considerable effect
in the ancient British language.
The motion that the petitions be adopted was re.
ceived with loud cheers, and the hands of all in the room
were held up in its favour. with . a single exception.—
Wheri.they . were put in the negative, this person, a
young matt, being the only individual in the ioom who
did so, some mares of disapprobation were manifest.d,
till the Rev. Mr. %MOLDS commanded silence, and
said thit if the young man had any thing to Edvanie
upodthe, subj ct sat his dissent from the maj city, he
ought most patiently to be heard. By this time the dis-
sentient bad sat down, and as every other person in the
room was stanaing, he could not for some tioie be seen.
This occasioned cries r f" He's ashamed to show his face."
To which he replied, still sitting, " I am, not ashamed to
show my face, nor have 1, to my knowledge, ever done
any thing to cause use to be to. The invitation from
the Ch it to express his sentiments was again repeated.
He replied, " I am well convinced in my own mind
that I am tight; but 1 have nothing to say, as I am not
used to speak in public company. Here there was a
loud and general laugh; and, at the request of the
majority, the guestion was again put in the negative,
with an intimation. that if the Ger.tlreman did not ex-
plain his views, the meeting would conceive that he did
riot understand the master; and if he telaised again to
bold up his band against the motion, it w•iuld be ac-
counted as carried new. die. Failing to du either, a
motion as to the unanimity of the meeting was mad.,
and received with loud cheers.
The Rev. Oitau RevuoLos congratulated the Meeting
off their unanimity, and the good temper they had dis-
played in discussing that important question. While
they su held together, they would present an effectual
bar to the inroads cf Popery, and would be the salvation
of the' Constitution in Church and State, as by law vs
tablished, by making a " long puke strong pull, and a
pull altogether."
Three loud and long-continued cheer', and "One
cheer more," Ware then given fors ProteStitat Ascen-
dancy.... tad the Assembly dispetied.

FIGHT BETWEEN. NED NEAL AND ROCHE
Yesterday was appointed for the deeidoa of the mod,
between Ned Ithal said Roche, the Devonshireman, fo,
one hundred pounds aside. The affair has been Ion?
on the tapis, and woe regarded with a good deal of in-
terest, as rumours were industriously circulated tha
Roche was *something out of the common way," and
would humble the pride of the London ring, by not
only licking Ned Neal, but Jen) Ward, and every oilier
man who had the slightest pretensions to milling con
sequence.

The toss for the place of fighting having been won by
Neal, he chose the neighbourhood of the scene of hi,
late conquest over Jack Nicholls, and named North-
chapel, in Sussex, on the Petworth road, and about 45
miles from London, as the place of tendezious. He had
trained at Milford, near to Godalming ; and it was re•
marked by those who felt an interest in his success, that
he was more than usually careful in tak;ng his exercise.
Roche, who keeps a public house at Exeter, and who
had been brought op from his " crib and his customers"
as the tool of his honest Devonshire friends, arrived in
London ten days back, and was sent down to the Bell,
at Edmonton, to finish his training. From the time of
the match being made, about two months since, he had
considerably reduced his weight.and upon going to the
scale aid Monday was found to be a trifle less than 14
stone—while Neal weighed but 12 t. Clot. This dispa-
rity in tare was of tousle seized as a strong argument
in favour of his pretensions over Neal; but by those who
were ipettind the curtain—and there were such—his size
was placed ,at nought, kir it was discovered that he was
a mere yobri in science. -
On the Sunday Roche reached the Red Lion at
Godafrainz, where he tor k up his quarters, accompa-
nied by some of his patrons. Neal was but two miles
distant, and on the Monday afternoon he set off to a
retired house at Compton; a village *Wit four miles
from Milford, where he kept hiMself completely se-
cluded from obeervation. The eventful Morning at last:
broke, and soon after ten o'clock Ned returned to his
old quarters as blithe as a lark. as tine as a star, end,
in fact, in tip-top condition.
The ring was formed as i common _behind the vil-
lage of Nort* Chapel, in good order ; but, considering
the importance of the event, the muster of " the Lon-
don Particulars" was but thin.
At eleven o'clock Ruche quitted Gpdalming in a post
chariot, his two principal hackers on the box„ and a
third by his sides he VokeJ in good health and tolera-
ble spirits. Just at the moment he arrived at Milford
Neal came forth surrounded by his friends, sporting
their bitd's-eye blue fogies in good style, while_ two key
bugles rtock up the favourite air of All the Blue
Bonnets." A carriage, with four horse,, was in readi-
ness, upon the ben of which he mounted, supported
on his left by the Poitsmouth Dragsman, one of his
staunchest supporters.. Tom Swing, and his other
friends, .then mounted, and off set the cavalcade.
Roche taking the lead. The four prods, however,
soon gave him the" go by." and Neal first reached the
Swan arNortfi Chapel, where he tommenced prepara-
titms for.laction. The weather, trough extremely cold,
wait fine, and.the sun shone forth with unusual brightness.
Rothe remained in his chaise. Shortly before onto clock,
Neal entered the' ring, attended by Tam Spring and
Harry Holt—he was received with loud cheers. Roche
soon after carnelorth, under the guidance of Ben Burn
and yowl; Dutch Sam, followed by his backers. His co.
lours "delight bine. The toss for choice of position was
won by 4./lolt for Neal, and bath men proceeded to strip.
On comparison of their persons, it was. impos-ible not to
observe that Roche had the advantage both. in weight
and lesygtli ; but then in age and freshness it-was quite
the reeerse. His flesh sedned soft and puffy, while the
fat of his greobliery hung in folds over his drawers. He
knked..as w e before- said, well in health, but to our rile
he could not be less than 86 years of age. Neal was
all life and file—not 4 superflo.,us ounce on his bones,
and as dins as a greyhound. Tne umpires and referee
having been chosen, the backers of K vtle took up as
petition near the roles. At this moment 7 to 4 and
2to 1 wore greedily taken. And nest tomes
