em SUVA they us of opfnien• that the men &mid be vastly
denounced who did what Mr. O'Connell said might be done
by some Roman Catholic in England—namely, to paint
Judas" upon Sir John Gerard's gate because he voted for
Lord Egerton. (Hear, hear.) That is not what I call civil
and religious liberty ; and, so help me God ! I would not
have the representation of your city upon the terms of giv-
ing the slightest encouragement to such principles as these.
—Mr. West said he was heart and soul for perfect equality
between Irishmen and Englishmen, and he would be ashamed
of himself as an Irishman if he did not vote for perfect
equality of justice in Irish registration as well as on every
other measure putting Irishmen and Englishmen on an
equality. (" Hear, hear," and cheers.) But he did not wish
to imply anything that would mislead the electors on this
point. It was extremely difficult to answer an abstract
question. Mr. Reilly might he of opinion that the present
circumstances of England and Ireland were such as that the.
same franchises which were in one could be applied to the
other in terms of perfect equality. (Hear, hear.) He dif-
fered from Mr. Reilly in that position. (" Hear," and dis-
approbation.) If a test such as the poor-law rating were
settled upon, or some mode whereby the present system of
swearing to a qualification were removed, and something
really satisfactory established, he would be for extending the
franchises in Ireland to every one who came within the
range of that test. But if he had been in parliament he
would have voted against the bill of the government, and
would have voted for the bill brought in by Lord Stanley.
(Great cheers from the Conservatives, and continued groans
from the O'Connellites.)

Mr. REILLY, addressmg the galleries—Though you vote
against him as a candidate, you must respect him as a man.
(Continued applause.)
EDWARD GROGAN, Esq. then came forward, and was
greeted with applause from the conservatives. After ex-
plaining the reasons which induced him to come forward, he
made some general remarks as to the measures he would ad-
vocate in parliament, when
Mr. REILLY said, before Mr. Grogan sat down, he wished
to ask him two questions, to which he hoped he would reply.
In the first place, he wished to know what his opinions were
regarding the grant to Maynooth college, and respecting na-
tional education. If he were not an uprooter of Popery he
should ao nothing against Maynooth, and if he did not wish
to injure the people he should not vote against their educa-
tion. _ . .

Mr. GROGAN replied that, as an answer to the question
regarding education, he begged to state that there was a na-
tional school on his estate. (Loud cheers.) With respect
to the other question he would say, as he had said before
when asked, that he approved of the principle of Mr. Col-
quhoun's bill, by which the right of supervision was given to
the government, which contributed so largely to the funds of
the college, and thus enable them to guard, ifnecessary, against
the inculcation of seditious or improper principles in the es-
tablishment. Mr. Reilly then asked Mr. Grogan, " But will
you grant the money to the establishment ?" and Mr. Grogan
replied that he had met some elderly Roman Catholic priests,
who had been educated abroad, and who were admitted to
the tables of the gentry of all persuasions—these gentlemen
instructed the people to attend to their industrious pursuits,
to avoid agitating and inflammatory objects, and instructed
them in the way to better their condition here, and he hoped
hereafter. (Hear, hear.) Disturbances had lately increased
in many parts of Ireland, and it was thought by wiser arid
older heads than his that the education of the Roman Catholic
priests at Maynooth was too limited and confined ; they
came from their districts to Maynooth, and thence they went
to their charge ; these disturbances were imagined by some
to be connected with them. It was not altogether fair to
impute to a system the faults of some individuals ; none of
us are perfect, but if it were so, he would not vote for the
continuance of the grant. (" Hear, hear," and cheers.)
He regretted that in this election a religious question had
ever been started. Instead of discussing or attending to
any of the vital and important matters now in the balance,
the whole burden of the proceedings had consisted in a per-
sonal attack on him, and a discussion of religious topics ; he
was a Protestant, and could not he live in peace with others
although they were of different persuasions. (Hear, hear.)
He respected and loved his own faith, and while he did
not wish or aim at depriving any Roman Catholic
any of his rights, or depriving him of any of his privileges, he
was determined that they should not deprive him of any of
his. Mr. Grogan here wished to enter neon the question of
the large loaf ; but met with such contifiued interruption that
he was compelled to retire.
A show of hands was then called for, which was declared in
favour of O'Connell and Hutton. A poll was then demanded,
and the Court adjourned at six o'clock until Tuesday
morning.

The Dublin Evening Mail of Monday gives the following
extract from a confidential communication addressed to the
editor :

" LIMERICK COUNTY—I have it from excellent authority,
that a letter reached Limerick on Friday from Mr. O'Connell,
stating that, ' that the game was running high against him in
Dublin,' and that he feared he had no chance,' and requiring
to know ' in what state was Limerick county,' should he require
it ? On the receipt of this missive, the . radicals, I under-
stand, decided that upon O'Connell's defeat in Dublin Mr.
Caleb Powell should leave the field, and allow him to fall
back upon this county. This may serve as an index to Dan.'s
despair of winning the metropolis." •

We shall announce yesterday's voting as early as possible
in a second edition, when we hope to find the arch-dema-
gogue and his companion in treason in a still worse predica-
ment. From communications we have received, there seems
little doubt of O'Connell's ultimate defeat.

CHURCH EXTENSION

(Abridged from the Chester Courant.)
PARISH OF ITAWARDEN.

We have 'this week the pleasure of laying before our
readers one of the most gratifying and spirit-stirring events
connected with this parish which it has ever been our duty
to record. Sir Stephen Glynne, Bart., M.P., having long
viewed with deep regret the spiritual destitution which
prevails throughout the district of Pen-y-mynndd, and the
many blessings from which the inhabitants are cut off, in
consequence of their inability to attend the distant parish
churches, resolved, with that truly Christian benevolence
which characterises all his actions, to build upon his own
responsibility a suitable, and at the same time a handsdme
church, wherein the poor may enjoy the rich privilege of
worshipping and supplicating their great Creator, of partici-
pating in the benefits of the Eucharist, and of hearing from
the lips of an appointed minister those pulpit instructions,
evangelical doctrines, and earnest exhortations which tend,
under the blessing of God, to enlighten the mind, to inform
the judgment, and to regulate the heart and life. Wednesday
last, being the day fixed upon for laying the first stone,
though a very short notice had been given, numbers crowded
to the spot long before the appointed hour.
