LIVERPOOL STANOARD

Tho follovting aiyears in a New liork pape'r of the
nth uit.

The nieeo.u'req adopted by our I,,gislatule at Albany are looked
towith great interest. The bill repealing the restraining
and authorising private banking, has become a law, with one
important amendment, and that requiring 121- per cent. of
specie to he kept in hand for every dollar iu circulation.
The state of exchangei is now so minus that almost all col-
lections at the south and west are at an end; the distress falls
heavily on the creditors of our suspended houses. Exchanges
on Boston are getting better; they are about a to one per cent
diseonnt. On Philadelphia. drafts have been sold at three per
coot, less, which is as improvement; on the south and west
they are no better.

The exchange upon London at New York on the 21st ult.
was 51 to 6; United State. Bank 1141.
Private letters from New York state, that the resump-
tion of specie payments of the bank was to take place on
the Ist of January next. The above date was to betite
general resumption of the States. A great deal licie
had arrived in the United States from England, ranee,
and South America, causing it to be abundant. The
account of the Sirius being within six hours sail of New
York was brought by the Westminster packet.
The price of sovereigns at New York is 4.90, which
establishes a par of exchange in paper of 110.25 per
cent., and the coure of exchange at New York on Lon-
don being 1041 per cent., it follows that the exchange is
5.75 per cent. against England.

JAmAtt.-I.A.We have ►eceived tiles of Jamaica papers
to the sth of April. Tl►ey state that the Governor, Sir
Lionel Smith, and his family, were about leaving the
Island. It was not known who was to succeed him. The
accounts given of the crops are extremely favourable.
The House of Assembly have voted a reward of £lOO
to be given to the person who could produce ten pounds
of raw silk, the, Production of worms raised in Jamaica
—the Silk to remain the property of the person so pro-
clueing it. It appears from some letters that the appren-
tices in Jamaica, particularly those of the female sex,
were very impatient of their emancipation, and that a
great number had purchased their immediate freedom at
the rate of £1 per month for the unexpired term of four
months and a half. It was supposed that funds had been
supplied to them for this purpose by the agents of the
dissenting portion of the community. On one estate ail
the household female negroes had purchased their free-
dom, and declined Lu serve for wages, it being assumed
that the bonds of Hymen had more delights in anticipa•
Lion for the sable beauties than those of free servitude.

Rio JANEIRO.—By the Reindeer packet papers and
letters Irons Rio Janeiro to the 20th of February have
cAne to hand. Their contents are favourable as to the
state of affairs politically and commercially. The go-
vernment enjoyed public confidence, and had nu d,fficulty
in raising on the spot whatever money they stood in
need of. The exchange an England was 23.1 to 1, and
stocks were quoted 86 to 871. Nothing of an authentic
nature was known of the state of affairs i❑ Bahia and
Rio Grande more than has heretofore been wade public;

BAllrA.—Accounts have reached London by the Dublin
man of war that the imperial troops have got possession
of Bahia. The capture is said to have taken place on
the 16th of March.

By thtt Cabotia, which arrived bete on Thesday, we
have intelligence from Bahia to the sth of Much. Pri-
vate accounts received by this vessel describe Bahia as
ling stiil the scene of internal discord. The revolu-
tionary faction are becoming bolder in their aggressions,
since they have not scrupled to detain the crew of the
Alice Crowther in prison fur• four days. Of the cir-
cuinstances which issued iii their rescue or release we
are yet ignorant. The commander of the Cabotia re-
ports, that the force of the rebels is so strong as to ren-
der it impossible to predict the result of the disorders
With which the province has lately been distracted.
Fut titer particulars are looked for with much interest.

the-Lord Melville packet accounts have
been received from the city of Mexico on the 7th of March.
The arrangements entered into with the bondholders
here, which were submitted, to the Chamber of Deputies,
had passed that assembly, and the governm ant had been
invested with full powers to carry them into efrect. They
were then before the senate, by whom it was not doubted
they would be ratified. Colonel Ahnonte, the new
Charge d'Affaires from Mexico to. this country, has ar-
ri‘ ed by this packet. It is stated. from Vera Cruz, on
the Bth of March, that the French squadron of three
brigs and one frigate, from the West Indies, had made
its appearance off the coast, but had not at that date
joined the two French brigs previously lying at the
island of Sacrificios, on board of which was the French
minister, who had quitted the capital, as noted on 'a pi e-
vious occasion, on the refusal of his demands. The tie-
gotiations had, however, been renewed on the arrival
of the reinforcement of ships The Erench claims for
indemnification to private individuals were said to amount
to 80,0,000 dols. The dates from Tampieo reach to the
20th of March, but refer to nothing of public interest.

PORTUGAL—The " Liverpool" steamer, which left
Gibraltar on the 4th instant, Cacliz on the sth, Li,bon on
Bth, Oporto on the 9th, and Vigo on the 10th, arrived at.
Falmouth on Monday last. The Ministers of-State, the
National Guards, &c., took the oath to the new constitu-
tion on the 6th. Much speculation was afloat respecting
the time that the ministry would remain in office. Lord
Howard de Walden, it was expected, would leave in .the
next vessel for England. Sir R. Woodford, governor of
Gibraltar, it was thought, would accompany his lordship.
The " Liverpool" brings no other news.

CIRCULATION OF LONDON NEWSPAPERS.—A return of
the number of stamps issued by the Stamp-office for all
newspapets in Great Britain and Ireland, from Dec. 1,
`1837, to March 31, 1838, ordered by the House of Com-
mons to be printed, has just been published. We extract
that part of the return which embraces the circulation of
the daily and the three-times-a-week London journals
during the period named :

From this return it appears that the conservative daily
and three-times-a-week journals circulate far more ex-
tensively than the Whig-radical newspapers of the same
class—the diGrence amounting to 642,000 stamps in the
course of four months. To show more clearly the pre-
ponderance of those journals which advocate conserva-
tive principles we may take the items of the above re-
turn as an average for the twelve months, which will
give the following results:—

This return affords a gratifying proof of the steady

growth and progress of conservative principles. The
circylat ion of tire Times exceeds tint of the blackguard-
ish ahroniele after the rate of one million three hundred
thousand pee annum! Such is the present proud posi-
tion of the leading organ of the conservative party—a
position which roust be a source of bitter vexation to the
present ministly and their adhetents.

ment of the daily circulation of the above journals. The

issued to the Liverpool journals.

THE PEEL BANQUET.—We give in our present publi-
cation as long a report of the interesting proceedings at
the banquet given on Saturday to Sir Robert Peel as
our limits will permit. The speech of the right hon.
'baronet we have given at length, conscious that we could
not afford our readers a richer treat. The sentiments
breathed throughout this splendid oration will be cor-
dially responded to by every true Protestant in the land:
The manly declaration of conservative principles which
emanated from the great leader of the party are calcu-
lated to produce a very powerful effect throughout the
country. Never before was there such a tribute paid to
any public man as that which has been paid to Sir Robert
Peel by three hundred and thirteen members of the
British House of Commons.

hum TITHEs.—THE DtvistoN.—The grand battle of
the session has at length been fought, and it is not too
much to say that the ministers came off second best in
the,; struggle. We have not at present the means for
entering into a minute analysis of the division, but we
find the following very apposite remarks furnished by a
correspondent of the London Standard of Wednesday
evening :

"On the division last night the Conservatives mustered 298
besides tellt.4s.• Mr. Halse's death and Mr. Hope's absence
-account fur a real total of 300. On the great division of 1835,
on which the existence of Sir Robert Peel's ministry depended,
they could muster.but 289. Here is a clear increase of 11.

"But the case is let stronger as against the ministry. The
►najority of last night, after allowing for Mr. Halse and Mr.
Hope, was seventeen►. But six gentlemen—to wit, Mr. Fleet-
wood, Mr. Posey, Sir R. Ferguson, Sir C. Lemon, Mr. Town-
ley, and Mr. Bennett, vote! with ministers last night merely to
save the►u front a defeat, who Would not have voted in favour of
tue appropriation clause, but againtt it. They object to the
clause, but they will not inflict on ministers the ignominy of
rescinding it. But were the clause proposed, they have voted
and would vote against it. Deduct these six votes from the
one side, and transfer them to the other, acid the famous reso-
lution of April, 1835, would now be carried by a majority of
fire.

"The progress of appropriation,' alias rubbery, therefore, is
as follows:

Majority in 1835

1836 26
•
„ 1838 5!!
" Is not this something like coming the last gasp ?' "
In addition to the vacancies alluded to above, it is
right to mention that the conservatives have lost one
vote through the compromise recently entered into in
reference to the Norwich election petition. Had not Mr.
Scarlett resigned his seat in favour of Mr. Smith, the
ministerial majority would have been smaller by two
than it proved.
After this very close division, it is improbable that the
House of Lords will yield their acquiescence to any of
the measures of the present government affecting, the
questions of Irish Tithes or Irish Corporations; so that
the Crim•Connellite Cabinet will be under the necessity
of holding office without being able to carry out any of
their destructi% c schemes. Their condition is the most
pitiable in which any ministry was ever placed.

RADICAL TRICKERY.—We understand that Knipe, the
notorious, and his squad, consisting of individuals of the
names of Hartley, Phillips, Davies, (the great tee-
totaller,) and a straw bonnet maker whose narne•we
have not been able to ascertain, have bee❑ perambulating
the town, under the pretence of collecting information
for the publication of a new Directory, but, in reality,
fur the purpose of finding out all the changes of resi-
dence which have taken place since the commencement
of this year. This is dope preparatory to the next regis-
tration, in order that Knipe may have it in iris power to
annoy the electors by another set of wholesale objections.
We think it right to put the public on their guard against
these radical schemers. Our readers will now know how
to deal with these itinerant emissaries of the ReforM
~A.sociation, and we should not be-at all surprised to
hear that they get a good horse-wipping fur their imper-
tinent officiousness.

ToxTEru PARK,

TO THE EDITOR OF THE LIVERPOOL STAND.4IID,

Sttt,—The surveyors of the highways for Toxteth Park, at
the monthly meeting on Monday last. passed EL resolution to
pare the Park Road on the score of economy—thus breaking up
the present easy highway. The petsceful gig drivers, and the
quiet travellers of the omnibuses, view this resolution, as well
they may, with considerable alarm, having before their eyes—
or bones—a fear of sundry joltings and shakings, as experi-
enced in the days of their forefathers. - What have they done to
deserve this of the surveyors of the high roads ? May I beg to
sqggest. to those Most illustrious and sapient gentlemen that
they "they do pass a resolution," to wait uutil some of these
Bitumen Companies get into operation. The Park Rood will
be a good field to give the much valued material a trial, they
say (vide, prospectuses, ) it is "so cheap," and "so durable"—at
any tate it will. be far preferable to traverse a pitched road,
than be pitched about in muniboses over hard and jutting paving
stones. Is there no mode of cli:feating this anti macadamizing
protect. AN UMNIBIITE.
May IS, 1838.

AMPHITHEA TRE.—M r. Batty's stud continues to prove attrac-
tive. We recommend Our friends to visit the Amphitheatre and
to take their young folk to witness the pony laces. They are
amusing in the extreme, especially those run by the lilliputian
ponies and their monkey jockies. The interest these droll crea-
tures seem to take in whatever is going forward is extremely
entertaining, During the courses, while walking over, they look
about them on all sides, and doling the running they ply the
whip with all the ardour of practised jockies, and turn round
to see' the- position of their opponents. Of the biped won-
ders of this theatre Mr. Hughes is perhaps the most wonder-
ful. Hts feats are almost impossible. Mrs. Huhes, as an eques-
triati, is as fearless as she is elegant. Her handsome face and
g
vineeful figure cannot fail to rthow acharm around her perform-
ances.

ZOO LOG ICA L GA It DENS.—These gardens are becoming de-
lightful: leaf, iids, and flowers, are alt showing howithe smiling
spring is wearing on, and the various specimens of animal life
having thrown off their dread of the " winters icy blast," may
now be seen sporting in the sunshine in all their gaiety and
gladness. The visitor at this time, will, doubtless, be struck
with the preparations that are being trade in one part of the
establishment, on a grand scale, but the wonderment will be
greater, we suspect, when they visit the gardens a fortnight or
three weeks hence, and behold a vivid representation of Mount
Vesuvius, and the bay of Naples, with its barks, boats, and
shipping. This grand picture will prove a wonderful attrac-
tion, and is fast progressing towards completion. It is On the
same scale its that now exhibiting in the Surrey Zoological
Gardens. When the evening closes in, the effect of an erup-
tion will be displayed. We perceive, that the Derby Hotel,
which has lately been erected, near the entrance of the Gardens,
is now completed, and the opening dinner will take place on
Thu Isd ay next. We sincerely hope, that this undertaking will
prosper, it is really "a convenient distance" from town, and
should prove a point of attraction. In the Gardens will be
found fond for the mind, in the Derby Hotel, food for the body,
and if exercise be wanting, on the bowling green attached to
the establishment, the visitor may have ample opportunity for
indulgence. In fact,- the Derby is complete, unique, and per-
fect in all its arrangements, and we hope it will succeed beyond
expectation. •
• We have just been favoured with a sight of a very heantiful
and spirited etching by Mr. Murray. after Mr. Charles Land-
seer's well-known picture of '6 The Pillage and Destruction of
Basin,.-house, by the Troops of Oliver Cromwell," which at-
tracted so mucharotice in the-exhibition of the Royal Academy
and at Liverpool. The picture having been so recently Lefore
the public. we shall be excused from entering into any further
detail on the subject of its merits. The etching, like a clever
sketch, in the absence of colour and high finishing, convey s to
us the real intention and spirit or the artist, and promises in its
completion to combine all the excellencies which are conspicu-
ous in the picture. We are glad to find that the publisher, like
her predecessor, Mr. Bowyer, has adopted that. course of solicit-
ing the most inter'esling iocidents of English ltistory for her
subjects, a plan which, in combination with first-r,.te talent
in the execution, cannot fail tin render, Mrs. Parkes's. publica-
tions highly acceptable to the British public, as well as to every
4mat eur vl the tine arts.

0nxi.1.1..• i,K SFAITARIAN.CRRIsriANIT'
EMPLIFfED BY ITS TEAcifERS.

. ,
Oa Wednecdt-iv,:at-thelice-otliee, Mr. Pearson, one of Ote
trustees of llope-streer Chapel. and Mr. Bowes, ir preacher
there, were summoned before the -magistrates, by a Mr. Brom-
ley, also a preacher there, on a charge of assaultiug.•him, and.
attempting to turn him out of his while he was in the act
of preaching. ; • .
We give a full report of it, be'cause it is an apt illustration of
the way in which true Christianity niav;suffer in the estiuratiou
of the thoughtless crowd, whose principles may be unfixed,
from the unchristian exhibitions which the vile passious of mcn
lead theta to tutx up with professed religioh; and to show the
necessity of an Established Church to present religiou•" pure
and undefiled" to the love: and the veneration of the people.
Well may infidelity thrive, when men see ChriStians—phara-
saieal Christians—Christian teachers—Christians par-excellence
—conducting themselves in a place set apart for the public
worship of God, where our thoughts only should be turned
" heaven-ward," and far removed from the conflicting passions
of life, nay, in the very pulpit, in a mede which would disgrace
the ale-full brawlers of a pot-house. Thank God we have 4,
Church Establishment, where religion is treated of as a sacred`;
thing; where its ministers, who preach " forbearance, Chris-
tian meekness, and brotherly love," are exemplars to their
flocks of that which they teach ; and where above all. the cha-
racter, station, and respectability of the endowed minister, gives
weight to his doctrine with the wavering, and unfixed in prin-
ciple. We do not speak thoughtlessly, when we assert our be-
lief, that such exhibitions asklhese, and similar ones, which have
taken place in this, cud other chapels, do infinite harm to the
progress of religion, by bringing it into contempt, and to be
lightly thought of, and greatly :titling the march of infidelity.
Mr. Bromley having been sworn, and requested by Mr. Hall
to proceed, said was preaching in the Hope-street Chapel
pulpit, on Monday night. Had been preaching about twenty
minutes, when Mr. Pearson,
who is standing there, violently
broke open the,
pulpit door; and after he had broken the
pulpit door. Alt.. Bowes, an expelled minister of our society
rushed into the po:pit, and endeavoured to push me on one side,
and take possession of the pulpit. I endeavoured to prevent
his doing so, and he pushed very considerably against me, and
tried to stride over the knees th,tse persons who were in the
pulpit by my request. leaders, or deacons of our united church.
Mr. Pearson.—Thetrustees were assembled iu the chapel, and
they passed a resolution, that Mr. Hatch, superintendant of
police, should clear the ,way for Mr. Bowes to preach. as they
had resolved that he should preach that night at seven o'clock;
and to request Mr. Bromley, Mr. Barstow, and Mr. Bentley to
humediately withdraw frOm the pulpit, as the Reverend I. Bowes
was appointed to preackat seven o'clock. Soon alter six o'clock
those gentlemen went into the pulpit, and took forcible posses-
sion. At the request of the trustees, Mr. Hate!' went up. and
desired th:iin to go, but they would not. I thee went up. and
requested them to withdraw, as it was not the usual preaching
night, but that he might preach any other night in the week
without molestation. Mr. Hatch was on the steps with'a pazto
of policemen there to keep the peace 1!) ; and they pntled the
pulpit dour to, with my finger in, and brake that part off. I
said to Mr. Hatch, " you had better not persist if they are de-
terminad ; let the iilame be on them. Mr. Bowes may address
the comgreyation at any other part of the chapel, GIVE our A
HYMN ( and afterwards retire to the open air. It was better
to retire to the open air than to have such opposition, as it was
the wish of the owners of the chapel." And. according to that
resolution, it was resolved, that Mr. Bowes should preach Mon •
days, Wednesdays, and Thursdays, at seven o'clock. and every
other Sabbath-dav; and the trustees had no objection for Mr. •
BitordeV to preach the other days. peaceably and quietly. -
Mr. HALL.- The better way would have been —I don't mean
to offer any opinion as tolthe right of the parties—but the inure
prudent course would have been, when you found him in posses-
sion of the pulpit, to have retired that night, and then to have
closed the doors and windows, :sod taken possession tar aey
other occasion. It was wrong to attempt to make any distur-
bance there, and force your way into this place. Really, I don't
know how the cause of religion is to be beuefitted by such
means.

Mr. Pearson.—lt is not, sir.
Mr. HALL—Two people squablilinv who shall address the
audience, one saying he is authorised' by the trustees, the oilier
that he is in some other wad• authorised. . . .

Mr. Pearson.—That was a special night appointed by the
trustees.

Mr. HALL.—In fact it seems to we that both parties are to
blame—

Mr. Pearson.—'They are, sir.
Mr. HALL—Because Mr. Bromley brought to me a written
statement; but it immediately occurred to me on reading it,
that there is some blame attached to Mr. Bromley also. Mr.
Bromley states that he was passing accidentally—it does not
appear to be his night at all—and seeing a collection of persons
there, it appears strange that he should select that night for the
purpose of going in to do duty. It seems as if he was inviting
a disturbance. He admits that he was passing accidentally
with Mr. Newkome, of Manchester, and -then he walks in and
walks into the pulpit. It seems to me very much like saying, I
am anxious to have this matter settled, and to have a contro-
versy about it.

Mr. Brouiley.—May I be permitted now to speak ?—I have
an official charge from the president of our convocation to keep
the pulpit at a:1 hazards; that, I suppose, means at the hazard
of my life.

Mi.' HALL—That is a very foolish charge, and a very im-
properme..
_ _

Mr. Bromley.—Acting for the society, confidence, I suppose,
is placed in me as an individual ; and I am resolved that no
other person shall enter that pulpit for the purpose of preach-
ing, unless I be forcibly taken out of it, and then those who do
it must take the consequences.
Mr. HALL—WeII, if-you are so exceedingly pugnacious, you
know the consequences may be very serious. I thought to
preach was to inculcate peace, and not war.
Mr. Bromley.—l will read to you our rules, to show you that
no other person had a right there.
Mr. HALL—I am not .going into the question of right.
Mr. Bromley --I had then as much right as any other person
there to go and take possession of the pulpit.
Mr. HALL.—It appears to me an exceedingly indiscreet pro-
ceeding. Could there be no arrangement made to have this
matter put into the way of settlement ?
Mr. Pearson.--Several propositions have been made, but
none acceded to.

Mr. HALL—Who are the partles iu posiessiou of this chapel
in law?

Mr. Pearson.—The trustees
Mr. Thompson, attorney, (who appeared for the mortgagees.)
—The mortgagees.
Mr. Bromley.—The trustees are expelled members of the
society; those on the side of Mr. Bowes.
Mr. 11A t.L.—The better way would be for the mortgagee to
take possession of the building. Who is the mortgagee?
•
Mr. Thompson.-1 am.
Mr. Bromley.—The mortgagee cannot take possession of it;
the interest has been paid. He cannot. neither shall he.
Mr. HALL-1 understand from the Professional wan that he
can.

Mr. Bromley.—That gentlemen is altogether misinformed.
Mr. HA speaks as a legal adviser, and can be sup-
posed to know as much as you of the law.
Mr. Bromley.—l shall never make the slightest concession to
Mr. Bowes, who is an expelled minister of his society; but ac
long as I stop here the slightest concession shall never be made
to Mr. Bowes. I will meet him on no pound Owlet:et.. I have
been assaulted, and the law will protect toe.
Mr. H.LL.—I don't know what your statement is. Three
different statements have I had. Your written statement varies
front what you told me this morning,* and now what you say
is different.

Mr. Bromley.—l did not in my verbal statement go into what
I stated in the written statement; in inv verbal statement there
may be souse omissions, but I am positive there is nut the least
cla,hing of statement. And were I not a stranger, and dealt
with as I feel myself dealt with in this place, I would not assume
so much positiveness. But I feel 1 must do that to stand on
any ground at all.
Mr. HALL.—Is there no Mode, Mr. Pearson, by which this
cao be put a❑ end to? • •
Mr. Pearson.—We have proposed, and will either give or
take £2.400, and give or take possession of the chapel.
An individual.—Allow me to state, uo individual has a right
to make any such proposal on our side.
Mr. Pearsuu.—There was seven mediators chosen of different
denotomations.

Mr. /I A LL.—You know, as to any disturbance I cannot per-

mit it.
Mr. PHAnsoN.—They are preparing for a disturbance to-
night; they are preparing in just the same stay. Mr. Brumley
has announced that he is to preach.
Mr. Whiny.— Mr. Bromley's friends are in possession of the
cha . _

Mr. II A cannot permit ; it will lead to a breach of
the peace. I never saw a greater degree of i)hstinacy than this.
Mr. Pearson.—We have. done all we can, and you see the
obstinacy manifested.

Mr. II ALL.—Whv not get the affairs in a state of settlement?
• Mr. Bromley.—The affairs of the chapel are already in the
legal way of adjustment; and what I come here for is for redress
for the assault.

Mr. H A t.►..—Who laid hands on you ?
Mr. Bromley.— A great many persons.
Mr. HALL.—WiII you swear that Mr. Pearson laid hands on
you?
Mr. Baum LEY.—I will just state I have been before the ma-
gistrates this morning, and there was a dietaation of the slate-
merit I am to make. and if I state who laid violent hands on
me 1 must tiling other parties before you, and take out another
warrant.

Mr. HA I. I--You have got no warrant. Do you mean to
swear that. Mr. Pearson laid hands on you?
Mr. Broinley.-10, he did not. He'broke open the door, and
he aided and abetted Mr. Bowes it► getting up.
Mr. H&l.l..—Did M. Bowes lay hold of ?
Mr. Bromley..—He laid his shoulders against me, and put his
hands against me, and tried to push me out of the pulpit to get
in himself.

Mr. HALL—Now, Mr. Bowes, am Ito understand that this
thing is to go on.

Mr. Bowes.-1 exceedingly regret that this matter has come
into court; and I express toy regret at the scene that has taken
place.
Mr. HALL—But what I want to know is, is it your intention
to go there again to turn him nut?
Mr. Bowes.—No. As there has been a great many statements
made inimical to my character, that I have been expelled the
connexion, I beg in say that 1 have been expelled by one man,
by the Reverend R. Aitken. I merely wish to state that bekase
my character is reflected on. The society Will be called together
about it, and some have declared that the expulsion was tyran-
nical. I now cony' as to my right.
Mr. lIALL.—The right, Mr. Bowes, cannot be determined
by me; it must he determined by an action iu another court.
onlv want you not to be misled as regards my.
character. I cheerfully resigned up the pulpit for two months,
and in the cold month of March worshipped with thecongregation
in the open air, till we got a legal document signed, and in my
possession, and then I went to take possession.
Mr. Bromley.—You have only that document signed by four
trustees.

Mr. A Li, (after conferring with Mr.Thompson.)— Supposing
whoever is in possession of it now, you know they cannot very
well be removed without some breach of the peace. Now, "I
would suggest that the mortgagee adopt legal means of obtaining
possession ; the law will give him possession, and adopt pro-
ceedings against the individual holding it. The law will eject
hint; and in the mean time, till that ptoceeding is settled, that
no further steps should be taken.
Mr. Bowes.-1 feel disposed to submit to your judgement sir,
it is a wise course. But 1 wish to state what your
not been stated.
Upon my attempting to enter the pulpit I did not do so till the
superintendent of police had requested the party to retire, and
they refused; and then Mr. Hatch requested me to take pos-
session, or something of that sort, and 1 then got up. But Mr.
Pletcher and Mr. BrotnleV himself laid hands on me, and I ac-
tually sustained injury. I have not made any talk of it, but I
may state that my right side yesterday, from the crushing that
I Mr. Bentley and Mr. Bromley gave me, was crushed and gave
me pain. To-day it is better. Therefore 1. have received bodily
injury. I never laid hands on any one and would uut attempt.
to do so.
