Joins Lawns, of Gafryeloyne Cottage, Esq. rose and
said—Mr.' President and Gentlemen, it has been al-
loyed to me to second the Resolution proposed by
my respectable friend, Mr. Swete, who has been pleased
to }ay tl,at he expected me to go somewhat at large into
,the 'object of our present Meeting; but I beg leave to
saw, that I am total!i unaccustomed and altogether un-
prepared to do so. However, I cannot avoid giving
vent tts the-feelings of my heart, And I must, in the first
place, sincerely congratulate my brother B. unswickers on
the present altered aspect of our cause, the more particu-
larly as it was the Cork Club which first
,gave public ex-
pression to their feelings Gentlemen, but a few months
. since, and the hopes of Protestants were almost blasted,
their spit its evaporated, and their strength paralysed.
If events have proved that they did not drink of the
oblivious waters of tethe, at least they partook of
copious draughts of the stupifying cup of apathy. The
constitutional vessel of Protestantism was almost a wreck
, on the turbulent sea of politics, buffeted by the storm of
faction, and agitated by the billows of arrogant sedi.
• tion; she had almost foundered, and yet no arm was
' stretched out to save her. What is her present state?
Why,Gentlemen, she has r ighted, and is now making for
. the harbour of safety, with her sails inflated by the
breathings of wisdom and the aspirations of loyalty,
where, I trust, she will be moored in eternal security by
the cables of reason and of argument, made fast to the
anchor of immortal truth—(Hear, heat). • Gentlemen,
the Protestant Establishment has been attacked by a
• . multitude of foes; by the Papist, because it is Pro-
testant—by the rebel, because it has always proved
faithful to the Crown—by the mountebank orator and
radical reformer, because it affords a field for popular
declamation—by the needy, because it is rich—and
by the pri.fi•gare, because it is virtuous!!!—(Hear.)
But these, so great and so many as they are, it might
have laughed to scorn, were its Members but due to it
add to themselves, which, unfortunately, has nut been
the use. That establishment has had to contend, not
only with open and avowed toes, but with that most
dangerous, although most contemptible, description of
enemy, lukewarm and insincere friends—one part of
win m, for a little ephemeral popularity, are teady to
sactifice. upon the altar of false-called liberality, their
laws, their teliginn, and eventually themselves; while
the other port. , caring for more substantial )senefits,
for the pri.motion of their trades, the aggrandizement
of their persons, and the swelling of their over loaded
poises, are ready, like Esau in the Scriptures, to sell
their birth-right for a mess of portage;
remember that when the penitent sau wished also fur
a blessing, says, " Bless me, even me, also, oh, my
father," there a as mitre in store for the repentant prodi-
gal—(lleal). Geralemeo, did time permit, I think I
could prove from historical documents the dangers we
should encounter ta) the admission of Roman Cathol;cs
• to pirlitical ; hut at this late hour of the day I
shall content myself by begging to remind you that all
the the old Papal eemaeds and pretensions remain to-
tally uncontradic ed by the pretended infallible autho-
rity e loch crated and assumed them, end that, while
they remain unrest inded by an ecumenical Church, they
are a part and parcel of their religious opinions. In
vain it is said that they have been contradicted by the
D ictors of :heir Church. These Doctors had no author
• rity to annul or abrogate them; and we may as well
• say, if any vital ptincipte of our reformed creed was
croaradicted by a lets of .an Clergy, that this principle
would 'become nugatory—a position so absurd as to
require neither argument nor illustration—(Hear ). There
is one clause in one f your re..olutions which, I think.
requires a little 'mask, namely, that one in which pat
r quest your Members to support the prayer of your
Petition. Gentlemen, a request hom such an assembly
as I see around inn ought not to be lightly refused; and I
think a e owe it to each other to take t thereat steps to
give ourselves the power of preventing a repetition of
it, sh uld such a sefasal be has rded. It has
been put forward by a portion of our Press that,
with rested to out City, should an Election tat •
place to-morrow, the return of two Brun swickers would
be effected. Geotlenren, I call upon you to doubt
the fact—that statement may have been put for ward to
• rouse one party to exertion, and 101 l theother into false
security. No, Gentlemen, let us all act as if the pre-
servation of the Constitution depended upon our in-
dividual efforts; let those who possess the elective
franchise amongst us preserve it pure and unpromised
until the day f trial; let those who do not possess it
use every means will in their power to secure it; let us
doubt our capability —let us bi appr.hensive if the
power of our opponents—let us be vigilant, alert, and
active, and let us not calculate our strength until the
" day of struggle arrive—for, believe me, struggle most
assuredly it will be. I do riot wish to dishearten—l
doubt not yo.:r power to launch Constitutional first
rates of your own on the seas of political life—but
I am sure that, to effect the most desir -E4e object,
we must have a long pull, a strong pull, and, above all,
a pull altogether. (ien•lemen, it has been asserted that
there has h en hitherto 1:0 legitimate public opinion in
Ireland. T•isit can't( t be now said—theßrunsoick Clu' s
have spoken the op;nion of the Protestants of Ireland,
and the thunder of their voice has been reechoed from
the sister country. Should the lion spirit of England
be e ace thoroughly arnsed, farewell to all hope r f
Papal advancement to tie Leguslatute. To bring abut
this m3ch sirshed-fot consummation theßrunswickers of
Ireland • ill assist thi it brethren in Gre .t Britain, and by
the help of both, and with that aristance, w i hout which
all other aid were less than nothing—the blessing of the
GOD of truth upon a righteous cause—pure religion shall
• hrmaint aimed, true I.hei ty shall be preserve f, and legal-
. mate property shall be secured. Gentlemen, I feel I
have already trespassed too tar upon your time—(crirs
of " Hear, hear," " no, no," "go on, go on' )—much fur-
ther, at all events, than was my original intention. In
conclusion, I implore of e •ch individual of this extensive
. meeting. if he were asked to surrender the citadel of
our constitution into the hands of its post inveterate
even ies, to reply, " While I see that citadel fortified
by the batteries of reason and argument—whiie those
batteries ve defended by physical power and moral
force—while the garrison is powerful and enthusiastic
• in hi auppoit—while the command is in the hands of
the conqueror of Europe, the heroic and illustrious
Wellington—and, beyond all, while its defence is, as I
firmly believe it to be, under the superintending eye of
an omniscient and omnipotent Commander, who, in his
dealings with his creatures, is pleased to accoorpliah his
wise and inscrutible purposes by the use of means and
• . human agency, and who has promised not to leave him-
'elf without witness, or his church without protection,
my answer always has been, now is, and hereafter shall
be—s, No Stir render !!!"—iLond cheering).
" linsland never did, nor never shall,
gain at the foot of a proud conqueror;
But, when she first did help to wound herself—
Bow these her Princes are come home again-
. Come the three-quarters of the world in arms,
And we sbaU shock them—nought shall make us rue
If Ragland to herself do prove but tare."
This having terminated the business for which the,

Club had been assembled, the President, Rowe. DIANN,
Esq, was moved from the Chair, and Admiral Ev.hws,
NI.P. being calleJ thereto, it was moved lay Aapassaas
'rowans/in, Esq. and carried by acclamation, ;bat the
thanks of this Meeting be given to their respected Pre;
sident, for the dignified and proper manner in which
he conducted himself in the Chair on that day, andlor
the seal and ability he has always displaye.d in support
of the Constitution in Church and State.
TILE DINNER.

The attendance at the dinner in the evening was nu-
metous and highly respectable comprising the leading
Gentlemen who attended the Meeting in the early part
of the day, as also several others who could frit attend
at that time, but were resolved to testify their strong at-
tachment to Pi otestantism and the glorious principles of
the Constitution in Church and State, which they had
assembled to celebrate. The dinner, which was heli at
the Imperial Hotel, was announced for half past six,
but it was not served up until nearly eight. On en-
tering the large room we were particularly struck
with the splendour of the dec•rrarions,, which were
got up under the direction of the Stewards appointed
by the Club. At the extreme end, just over the Presi
dent's chair,was a beautiful transparencyof an equestrian
figure of our glorious deliverer, William, of immortal
memory, opposite to which was one r t our most gra-
cious Monarch, George IV. dressA in the Windsor
uniform, with a star on his breast. The feelings which
those emblematic figures excited were instantly dis-
played by three distinct rounds of applause.
The company c3nsisted of between seventy and
eighty, to accommodate which were three tables. One
was placed across at the top of the room, and the others
took the entire range at either side, which afforded
great space, and enabled every individual to see what
was go ng forward.
R. Deane, Esq pre.ided. and on his right was sup-
ported by W.:sr Admiral Evans, M.P. and on his left
by Colonel Longfield. At the table to the right hand
of the President, Gerard Callaghan, El. and Captain
Westropp, R.N. acted as Vice Presidents, and on the
left Richard Wood and John Thomas Cramer, E qrs.
The attention of those Gentlemen through the night
was devoted to make every individual p►esent feel as it
he were " at home,' and in this they were successful.
Several Gentlemen of the musical profession attended,
and, aided by some first-rate amateurs, added mach to
the hilarity ut the evening. As soon as thst cloth was
drawn and grace said, the worthy President sounded
the alarm, and all were ordered to "prepare." Ile
called for a bumper, and gave—
" The King, Goo bless him"—four times four. Air," GOD
save the King."
" The Duke of Clarence and the other branches of the Royal
Family"—three times three.
" The Constitution of 1688—the whole Constitution of 16811—
and nothing but the Constitution of 1665."
This toast was received with loud cheering, and cries of " No
surrender," and " One cheer more."

" The glorious, pious, and immortal memory of the great and
good King William, who freed this country from the domination
of Popery '•—(Nine timei nine, and thunders of applause.)
"The Brunswick Constitutional Clubs of Ireland, and may every
true Protestant see it his duty and his Interest to attach bitustlf to
them."—Glee, " Glorious Apollo."
" The Duke of Wellington and the other Members of the King's
Cabinet, supporters of the Constitution as it is."—(Great cheering.)
" Protestant ascendancy in Church and Btates"—(Cheers.)
"The Corpor.tion of Cork, and may it ever uphold its charac-
ter of loyalty and attachment to Protestant principles—and, when
they deviate tr..m them, m.y they cease to be a corporation."—
(Loud cheering.)
" The Karl of Longford and the President of the Brunswick
Constitutional Club of Ireland." Three time three.—Glee," Life's
a bumper."
" Lords Farnham, Enni.killen, and Rathdown, and the other
members of the Nobility who have elertud themselves so promi-
nent in arousing the Protestants of Ireland in defence of the Coo-
stitution."

" Admiral Evana, and the Doneraile Beunterick Club.'

" May the Protestants of the present day ever bear in mind the
principles of 168[1."—(Loud eke ring.)
" The Duke of Newcastle, the Marquise Chandos, sod Lords
Kenyon, Winchtlsea, and Bezley, who have so energetically ap-
pealed to the British people to oppose the encroachments of Popery."
The Cuatnivaa now called for a bumper to the Uni-
versity of Dublin, the foundation stone of which was
laid in the reign of Queen Eistbeth for the suppirt of
Protestantism. That feeling still, and ever would. pie.
vs it within irs walls ; and we had to boast of a Robin.

The company separated at a late hour, highly delighted with such
a diepLay of Constuitutiornal feeling and festivity evinced on the
occasion.

?Hl MANQUIS 01 ANGLII-IY.

Mr. O'Coarsam., M.P. announced, that on Saturday
the add•ess from the United Parishes of' St. Andrew.
St. Mink, and St. Anne, would be presented to his
Excellency the Marquis of Auglesey, at twelve oic!ock,
at the Viceregal Lodge, Phan x Park. He then ad-
verted to the law empoweriog persoos to keel, arms.
fo keep unlicensed dirks, daggers, illt..was illegal, and,
to make them, a transportable felony—(Hear, bear).—
there were many O. angemen in the North w ho were
guilty of this offence, and the next Assizes they should
be punished—(Cheers). It would be a pleasant thing
ins a si•me five or six of the bloodhounds marched off
to B itany Biy—(A laugh). Nnt long ago, at an in
vestig.,tion before Mr. Mayne and some Magistrates of
Mona, tan, informations had been sworn against some
Orangemen for a violation of the law respecting
arms, and although the clime alleged was a felony,
the informations had been returned to the Sessions. I
made an applic.-ton to the King's Bench on the sub-
ject. Mr. Mayne came in and made an affidavit that
he had acted under the advice of the Magistrates.
The Court acquitted hid of an intentional error, 1 •
decided that the case was a, felony, and °Hired the in-
formation to be returned to the Assizes--(Hear, heat);
When M. Mayne returned, the Orangemen greeted
his triumph with bonfires. Now what was the '• tri-
umph ?" Why, that the Court of King's Bench de-
cided that he had acted Wort impoperly. Then the
kennel gloried, even in the mistaken notion of success;'
now the bloody faction rejoice at a real tiiumphe—the
recal of Lord Angle.,ey-e-CHear, hear, hear). Yes, the,
bloodhounds rejoice, and blood marks their exultation,
even before he i. gone—who would, if allowed, crush
the reptiles—who ruled the country with an impartial
hand, and aho held tie sword of justice equipoised
over the heads of all—(Hear, hear). The Infamous
'action, at the dead of night, attack the hots.. of the
Catholics, ai d t the unoffending inmates like dogs.
This shwas bow•the friends of suffering huina,.ity, i.f
justice, and of behind. shouldiweep at the mail if ibe
I Lord Lieutcnant—(llear, hear, hez ). TAle imlottatxc

of this Object is great, and I anti not only move that
it be retested to the Committee, bin 'I will wait upon
Lord Gower sad, demand justice for the people—(Loud
chetis). He is a young Nobleman of high retraction,
desdnded from one of the oldest and most liberal falai-
-les in Engl .nd—iliberal himself. and a young Gen-
tleman of great talents, and of the mi st enlsrged ideas
heat). He cannot, it is impo sible he could,
become the instrument of hii own dep,radatiln, by be•
comieg the tool of an infernal faction. I will call
upon him to send down some of the-Crown C unsel to
the Notch. to investigate into the state of that past
of the country. This is not unprecedented. Lir,'
Wellesley did it be:oir, and Lott! Anglesey woule
do it, if an insane poi cy had not tempted a " seirse
than mad" Piemier to treat him—(Loud cheess).—
Let any man read the Mail, the vile Gazette of the
kennel, and won't he then see their object ? Is it not
rapine, plunder, and assassination?—(Hear. hear)
he Jew of the College spesks of the " molts! stab "
given to Popery—l thank the miscreant fad the hint,
for it demonstrates how the machine works, and shows
how the wretches would gloat upon the writhing, of
their victim. What a delicious morceais this would be
for the Orange Parsons and their wives! What a splen-
did spectacle it would be to see a Papist wincing in the
triangle, under the lash of the cat-o'-nine-tails, so often'
used by the lacerator of 98—(Hear, heir). 13ut they
shall be disappointed in their sanguin iry expectations,
for the people of Ireland are now tits lute ligeot, too
moral, and know their own interests too well, to give
the fiends an opportunity of satiating their thus' for
vengeance with Catholic blood— (Hear and cheers).—
If Lord Gower will not give us a fivoutable answer,
e will go to the Duke of Wellington and demand re-
cites', and it his Grace will not listen to our complaints.
we will insist upon the liberal P.otestant and the Ca-
tholic Peers, as the rightful Countelliiis of the King, to
knock at the gates of Win iso,, and in his Majesty's
closet to proclaim to the King, that " rout der has been
committed, and the murderess are still let loose upon
society"—(Applause). It shall tp• proclaiinei to Europe
and to the world. To avo d having a sectarian ap•
penance, I will .give notice that we shall change the'
name of Catholic Association to that of .4 Univ. rsal
Irish Association." We have given ',mice of a surrender
of these rooms; if we Ale emancipated we shalt not
want them ; if we are not. they will tie too s nail for us
—(Hear). I have got a pl .n • f the .Mechanics' I "tutor
in London; it could contain 1 '2ls) prisons in t'le lo aer
part, besid s a 6ne gallery. nut 'like the pigeon holes
we have live, and we shall have con lc ucteJ a place of
