Glasgow University ! ShJohn Camph,ell, a Caledonian
from the womb, and identified by a long' life with a large
portion of that country, is rejected !—the majority was
100! triumphant result!—we look at thii affair as afford-.
in g demonstration, not of the sentiments of a few hun-
dred students only, but the sentiments of as many
d red families scattered all over Britain, who were then
represented by their offspring,.. ..Noreoyer; the declara-
tion of a University must not be valued numerically alone,
though in this.r espect it here *speaks loudly enough; but
according to an intellectual and moral standard. On oc-
casions, where sound judgment is required, -"the voice of
one of these may outweigh a whole theatre of others."
To form some estimate of this achievement of Conserva-
tism, only think what would have been the impression
made, if Sir Juhn Campbell had succeeded to such an ap-
pointment over an English University l—lt would have
been the knell of Church and State dissolation,/as this
exaltation of Sir Robert Peel, to the Lord Rectorship of
the University of Glasgow, is the bulleti❑ of returning
health.

We have heard, the town of Liverpool has heard, the
whole country has heard of the corrupt and disgraceful
system of education introduced into our Public SchnolS,
since they unfortunately fell under the controul and
management of our Municipal Corporation. One of the
first fruits. the primiti, of these nova powers was to
accomplish in the Town Council of Liverpool, under the
sanction of legislative authority, what was done by vio-
lence in the Hall of Convention in France—virtually to
renounce Christianity—and if there be a degree of guilt
in the one case greater than in the other, we can claim it
for the Municipal Corporation of Liverpool ; for whilst
Gobet, and his associates, openly called upon the assem-
bly to cut down, trunk and branch, all religion, as a curn-
berer of the social soil, our Town Council have, with
equal -efftelte but with more subtlety, accoMplisliehrie
same ends, ty pouring poison to the root of it. In fegi•
Ode Franco, the Bible was an oblation offered upon the
binning altar, to Reason. In Liverpool, the Bible is
either thrown aside as an " accursed thing;" or, wick-
edly mutilated to propitiate the demons of party. What
may we not expect in the sequel of such a beginning !
It requires but little skill in political augury, to foresee
events at once calamitous as regards civil order, and fatal,
as regards national peace. The disastrous dawn of these
proceedings forebodes a gloomy day of discontents En-
gland, perhaps, is doomed to run' the same revolutionary
career as France—appearances seem to justify the con-.
elusion. The very first step taken in France was, to
relax the bonds of Religion ; and this step is just taken
in England. We hope, however, that Liverpool- stands
alone, in having formally promoted, and that even in the
" National Schools" of her town, a system of educatitie,
which can only lead to infidelity, misery, and civil
:inaub-
ordination. Let us take shame to ourselves,' and tie
overwhelmed with confusion, when we remember, that.
heathen Greece, though from an error in judgment, put
Socrates to death for teaching opinions :contrary to the
established religion ; or, as is more dikinctly declared,
fur corrupting youth; and banished Anaiagoras for pro-
fessing a belief, not conformable to the sacred canons.d.
the state7-whilst we, enlightened by the gospeissanet ion,
under a Corporation Seal, a system of education, :that'
confounds all principle, .blends contrarieties, and takes.
away all authority from Religion. It would be better at.
once to imitate France, and wholly, and declaratively, to
renounce Christianity. There wlild then be no debate.
able grounds faith, and many obstructions to, the free
operation of that blessed boon, MuniCipal Reform, would
be removed. Bit, Whilst Religion, and she Protestant
Religion, is part of the law of the land, we shall ever
stand for Ward to vindicate her claims, and to shield her
from the assaults of her enemies. On the present:occa-
sion we are called forth .by some. obsery ations made by
Mr. Councillor Rathbone, at the late meeting of the Town
Council, and the speech and motion of Mr. Birch. Mr.
Rathbone said, " He thought the children in those
schools would make as good siturchmen as any in' Liver-
pool; but, as.he added, almost immediately after, that
he spoke warmly," perhapS iris warmth had melted the
"cerata. tabella," the wax' tables of his imagination,-so
that 'the impress of Unitarian, Catholic, and Proteitant
was not distiogidahable upOts it. In the language of
Logic, the," essential difference" of religion was lost in
the "general nature" of profession. Surely he did not
mean to say, that a free intercourse of Church of England
children with the children of Catholics and Unitarians
would have any beneficial effect upon their orthodoxy !
we should fear, that the very atmosphere of the school
impregnated, as it must be, with conflicting principles,
some infidel, and some blasphemous, would receive such
a moral contamination, as would render it dangerous to
breathe by those who were desirous of preserving religious
health. But to pass on, Mr. Rathbene said, that though he
was himself a " Unitarian Dissenter, it had been admit-
ted by his colleagues that he had never carried his sec-
tarian principles into the committee." We have already
commented on Mr. Rathbone's easy morals, as regards his
school discipline, but if he construes this last confession
into a compliment to his disinterestedness, we think it is
at the expense of his religious consistency, and quite at
variance with his political character. It may be a testi-
mony to the forgetfulness of his creed, when convenient
to conceal it; but, surely, it is one, that arraigns the
heart, and ought to wound the conscience, of an upright
man. Whether Mr. Rathbone be a Unitarian Dissenter—
a Papist—a Deist—or an Infidel of any other form and
complexion, he cannot, if a sincere believer in his creed,,
he cannot, we repeat, thus easily put it off; when called
from his closet to discharge public duties,—and hence
springe the mischief of opening the Council-chamber to
unfaithful men. if Mr. Rathbone mcant to say, that he
does not openly preach Unitarian doctrines amidst his
committee labours, we can understand and believe him—
the "Unitarian Dissenter" has too much of the Thu.
minati" about him so egregiously to commit himself ;
but we again declare it to he impossible for Mr. Rathbone
—if an honest Unitarian (we hope we are not gnilty of
a moral solecism) ever to forget his principles, ever .to
act independently of them, when an opportimity, for,their
exercise may occur; and there is scarcely a 'question of
public business in which such opportunities do not occur.
We ask Mr. Rathbone how he would act at the "Watch
ComMittee" if a Unitarian Dissenter and a Church of
England candidate was severally soliciting seifisites for
an,appointment under it ? Would he not car* Iris
sectarian Principles with him into the committee"Wonld
not a congeniality of creed give a bias to his soul,' turn;
aye, the affectionate needle to the pole, and lubricate Ids
tongue, so that: it , would " discourse most eloquent
music" in Braise of the former., He would find the secs
tarian mantle, which he had just before so gracefully put
off', ready at hand, in which to cltithe himself. Olt, yes,
we know, that if Mr. Rathbone's desires could be fully
accomplished, we 'should have Unitarian .Members of
Parliament—Unitarian Members of the Town Council—
Unitarian Members of the Dock 'Trust Committees-
Unitarian " dirt and dust men," the only offices that
should be filled by Unitarians. Let Mr. RathlatiOee there-
fore, "chew the cud" of this bitter sarcasm, proclaimed.
by his own lips, and reverberated by his colleagues, that
he leaves his religious creed at home, like a dirty gar,
ment, when he enters upon public duties! We never
remember so severe a self moral castigation. How
like all this is the language of the Christ bin—"at all times,
and in all places," he is giving thinks; and, therefore,
in remembrance of his faith " Whatsoever" he does he
" does all, in faith." But we are not the personal enemy'
of Mr. Rathbone, neither have we gone out of our way
to assail there be not an impropriety in the fig,ore;
We should say, he has made himself a mark, at which to
shoot his own arrows; and, as no man wishes to harm
himself, he thought they. were feathered only, but. in
truth, they are pointed also.
But we now come to the announcement of a measure
to which, whether carried or not, will be affixed with eter-
nal infamy, the municipal Seal of Liverpool. Liverpool,.
the first mercantile port in Britain, and still under a Pro-
, testant Ning, and a Protestant government, is content.
plating the "sale of its public schools," because, to use•
the language,of Mr. Birch, "the public -mind had heen
vexed and tormented throuehout the greater part of time
year" by them !
"Can such things be w ithout our
special wonder? " It stands without precedent, and will,

we hope, remain without imitatioe. Is it possible that
we are sunk so low," ad Tartara," in religious discipline,
that public schools must be abandoned, and for the ex-
tranrdinrity taus, that they 66 vex and torment" the pub
lie mind ? To those who live a hundred miles from Li-
verpool, the whole of this proceeding will be regarded as
an improbable fiction, an incredible slander upon its
municipal body. But for the benefit of those who may,
at that distance, read the text, we beg to offer the follow-
ing brief comment. The " vexation and torment " al-
luded to, have beet' called into existence by the semi-
infidel breath of Unitarianism, and at the bidding of un-
hallowed papacy, A school in Protestant England, and
designed to raise up Protestant subjects, has been per-
verted into . a nursery for Unitarian schismatics, and
Roman Catholic. infidels. We ask with confidence, of,
any one of these advocates of liberalism, which is become
a synonym of licentiousness, whether there can be found
in any papal country in Christendom, a school, originally
designed for the inculcation of thedoctrines of Romanism,
that ever tolerated the introduction of any discipline
favourable to Protestantism ? We defy every unitarian
and papist member of the Town Council of Liverpool
to furnish such an example. Why even papal France,
where religion is shrunk, like the nymph in the fable, to
a mere "vow et prceterea nihil," a protestant cannot ob-
tain a,decent resting-place for his ashes—" that small
portion of the barren earth, which serves as paste and
cover to our bones! '' What heathen nations seldom re-
fused even to enemies, papal France refuses to her neigh-
bour, at peace with her. How unlikely, then, that she
would expend her funds to educate those whom she re-
fuses to bury But to proceed. Mr. Birch added, that
" he had always been unable to conceive how any reason-
I able man could attempt to justify the application of pro-
perty,.which belonged to the whole community, to the
education of one exclusive body." It may not be Mr.
Bit-6's fault to have limited powers of " conception"—
that they are not very ample we shall soon discover. If
Mr. Birch meant, that the " whole community" have an
indefeasible right in the "property" of these schools, he
asserts wore than we are willing to believe he intended.
Whilst he is planting in the same soil, a Unitarian, a
Papist, and a Protestant, how could he justify the exclu-
sion of the Deist.; a fearfully numerous portion of society ?
Or, does Mr. Birch maintain (it is the legitimate issue of
his principle) that in these schools, every section of be-
lievers and unbelievers, ought to find masters to teach,
and books to instruct them, in their several creeds? Shall
we have the Bible in three contradictory versions—the
one as read by the Romanist—another as read by the
Unitarian—and a third as read by the Protestant church-
man? And shall we have, for in consistency we can not
deny it, the latest edition of Paine's. Age of Reason, for
i.the Sci Ons of Deism ? How can you refuse any one of
these ?—each urges his claim with the same argument—
and you. must grant all, or abandon your principle. But,
narrow as appears to be Mr. Birch's "conception," surely
it"rnight have compassed the conclusion, that public funds
in
.4 - Protestant country, applied to the support of a Na-
:tional*hool in the ware country, were designed for the
promotion of Protestant education—and had any doubts
lariseri-in his mind, he might easily have removed them
by referring to theappropriation of those funds, before the
new li ht of municipal reform cast its ominous shade
Hover it. But we fancy we can see in the tenor of Mr.
Birch's speech a conciliatory disposition, and so far we
respect it, but we cannot suffer a compromise of our prin-
'oiple--e.we condemn, unqualifiedly, the grounds upon
which he would make peace-0/ tempora ! 0! mores ! In
the nineteenth century of the Christian Era, to hear of
propositions to abandon the discipline of schools, founded
upon religious principles, and to "endeavour to intro-
duce a systeM of what might be called secular educa-
tion !"--this, a little more amplified in expression, means,
to throw overboard the compass of religion, by which,
liaLerto, under the tutelage of our national schools, the
vessel of life has been directed through the storms of
passions, kept clear of the rocks and svrtes of temptation,
and, we hope, and believed, finally conducted, in nu-
merous instances, into the haven of Eternal rest. If
we must make an electiorrbetween the alternatives of no
.or the religion of unitarians and papacy we
give our voice for total exclnsion—darkness is preferable
to the light of an ignis fawns. But we will hope better
things, and trust that this question, still unsettled, may
be settled to the honour of Liverpool. And, that, as
already the public voice has proclaimed the management
of the national schools, by the newly-modelled municipal
corporation, to be a public wrong, there will be made an
attempt, at redemption of character by directing the
funds of the corporation into their former channels, to
fertile anti refresh, as was originally intended, the
lovely fields of Protestantism. We have one part-
ing word for Mr. Rathbone—he said " that the
member for Everton had asked him if the Bible were
read during school hours ? "—and he answered "
If a Mahometan were asked, whether he believed Moses
to be a true prophet, he might answer, " yes "—if he
were further asked, whether lie believed in Jesus Christ?
he might also answer "yes"--but in both cases the "yes'
of the Mahometan would be precisely like the "yes" of.
Mr. Rathbone---snegatives to the interrogatives of a
Christian. And Mr. Rathbone's ' yes "is" in foro con-
scientice" no—for he knows that the Bible, as was under-
stood in the interrogation, was not read, but a Bible from
which, as was significantly implied in Mr. Heyworth's
question, and to which no answer was given, the second
commandment is expunged from the Decalogue. We are
sot ry to bear a man of Mr. Rat lib(ase's station thus " pal-
ter with us in a double sense." If the Unitarian Bible
countenances such mental equi vocation, the Protestant
Bible rigorously condenins it. " Who," says our Bible,
"shall ascend into the hill of the Lord ? "—to which the
answer is, and. we "mesa it in )en the attention of Mr. Rath
bone—" He that.speaketh the truth from his heart."

In the performance of our. public duty, we have pub-
fished, in another column, a faithful report of the discus-
siOn which. took plat ,1 Common Council, on
Wednesd ty last, relative to the Corporation schools. The
great interests Which are involved in the decision of the
Connell, render it ,unnecessary on our part to offer any
apology to our -readers, for again directing their serious
attention to this subject. Its baneful influence on the
religious principles, and moral habits of the rising ge-
nerationis sufficient to enkindle the.zeal of the. philan-
thropist, and lead him, by every means in his power, to
.
ayert those evils with which Our social Compact is threat-
ened.' We record with feelings of the deepest shame,
and burning indignation:the degrading fact that in Pro-

:But what a contrast do we now witness! A reform has
taken place ! The demon of faction has raised his
hideous head amongst us, and party prejudice has nar•

rowod the intercourse between m'an and man. Her

tiousness, with the foolishness of ignorance. Her places

regarded as a curse, instead of a blessing---her Council-
lorS'are still the honourable of the earth, but their laws
are prejudicial to the interests of her people. The obli-
gations of morality are relaxed, and the streams of her
charity narrowed, if not entirely shut up. But we must
hasten to notice the speeches of those Councillors who
took part in the discussion on Wednesday.

A petition was presented from the inhabitants of the
North Toxtetli Ward, against disposing of the Schools.
Mr. Councillor Platt, in proposing that the memorial be
received, took occasion to contradict the oft-repeated as-
sertion that the Bible was excluded. Now, we are ready
to believe this gentleman spoke the truth, and believed
what he asserted; but will he favour the public by
telling them to whom Mr. Aspinall read the Bible, and
at what time ? He may understand the Irish, English or
Scotch systems of education, but it is very clear lie does
not understand logic :—" He was happy to say, that so
far as he had gone, the reports were utterly unfounded."
What might have been the result had he gone further
we cannot say, but we are inclined to think he confined
his attentions to the little knot of Protestant children
who were near the door. Mr. Councillor E. Smith wished
for delay in order to ascertain the sentiments of the public.
The meeting at the Amphitheatre was a mere faction in
his estimation, composed of -political partisans, and not
at all expressing the opinion of the people. We would
recommend a meeting in Clayton-square, if this sage
• Councillor would unite the respectability, the property,
and the talent of the town in furtherance of his favourite
scheme. After this little bye-play, Mr. .councillor
Birch addressed the Council on the subject of the schools.
His speech- is marked by sound reasoning and a disposi-
tion to conciliate all parties by providing education for
each. We advise ohr readers to give his speech a careful
perusal. He grapples with the question as an honest
man, and seeks not to evade its difficulties by quibbling
or vituperation. The motion of Mr. Councillor Birch
was supported by Mr. Councillor John Smith. An
amendment was moved by Mr. Councillor J. Crop-
per, "that it be an instruction to the Finance Commit-
tee to sell the schools," which amendment was se-
conded by Mr. Councillor E. Cropper. Mr. Coun-
cillor Blackburn moved as a further amendment, " that
the schools be continued under the direction al the
Education Committee," &c. It will be in the recollec-
tion of our readers, that when the subject was under dis-
cussion, previously to being introduced, this .gentleman
made a speech which some of our contemporaries praised
very much, but of which a few discerning critics thought
very differently, and both his learning and his logic were
freely criticised, very much to tlie Councillor's annoy-
ance. On this occasion, " he could not gire a silent
vote," very much to our regret, as it imposes upon us the
unpleasant task of dissecting this speech, which consists
of an immense mass of unmeaning verbiage, filthy
allusions, coarse satire, and frothy declamation. We
could condense into two or three shot t sentences all that '
is worth notice in the observations before us. If we had
time we could fuinish some choice specimens of incon-
sistency in the honourable Councillor's address. How-
ever, we but anticipate. There were two grounds of argu-
ment which he wished to combat ; first, that these schools
were opposed by public opinion ; and the second, teat they
were strictly, after all, sectarian schools. By "public
opinion in the present instance, they were to understand,
the opinion of the majority." We cannot conceive why
an exception should he made here ; the opinion of the ma-
jority is in almost every instance acknowledged,. but,
"in the present instance," .such en opinion suited the
Councillor's tactics. He then vents a little spleen against
the ConservativeS, because his understanding failed him
—he could not comprehend howr.any man who supported
such a system of Education for•lseland, should., oppose it
in England. Are th -Tories to blame, because this sage
Councillor can per n in the circumstances,
the habits,and the pr dices he Irish people, different
from those of the Liverpool public ? The "furies may
have much to answer for, but if they are to be made ac-
countable for the dearth of intellect «hick
,is every day
witnessed in the Council Chamber, and to be responsible
for all the nonsense which is there spoken, we hays no hope
for them; for such a mill-stone would sink them for ever.
We charitably suppose that Mr. Councillor Blackburn
never read Lord Stanley's letter to Mr. Adam Hodgson,
or if he did, could not understand it. Mr. Councillor
Blackburn is professedly a christian, and we would in-
dulge the hope that he is one, but how can he reconcile it to
his conscience to characterise the zeal which is manifested
on every hand for the disseMination of the Scriptures,
"the cant of excluding the Bible to annoy a patriotic
Ministry." Is this hatred to truth, or has the frenzy of
party feeling unseated his reason ? We shall next be
told that the Bible itself is but cant, and this too, by a
man, who in the reports which are annually circulated of
the Sunday Schools in connexion with the Independents,
grounds their claim to public support, upon the considera-
tion that the Bible is taught in the Schools and the chil-
dren are " trained up. in the way they should go." But we •
turn from this subject with disgust. We pass on to notice
a charge which is preferred by Mr. Councillor Blackburn
against the Tories, and which, we hesitate not to say, he
knows to be false—" that the !eve of the Protestant cause
and zeal for Conservatism, led them to abuse the police
and coquet with the keepers of saloons." Is this true?
Is this honourable ? Answer :the charge ye hundreds
and thousands who have raised yotir voices in favour of

vatives—we love our Constitution—we. reverence our reli
gion—we hate falsehood—we shrink front dishonour.
For ourselves we throw back the imputation with con-
tempt. Prove your charge against us. \V dare yen to
the proof. Mr. Councillor Blackburn then enquires for
evidence that the public opinion is against them, and in
• the absence of such evidence he maintains it is not.
Hear his own words : " Was it not a fact that a very
considerable proportion of the mostinfltrential members

Mr. Bolfactikiebuars sn7rtt.ii(siin:ransdheatilir thepvio,'e no better titan his
understanding, we will glance over the field, and reckon
the number, and specify the character of his. allies. There
are on the one hand, the Infidel phalanx—the Unitarian
band—the Popish confederacy; and on the other the
rebellions=and the revolutionary di-
vision. You have with you the Irish ruffian and the po-
litical incendiary. Such is your army ! It possesses the
elements of strife, but it lacks that discipline and unity
of purpose necessary to successful warfare. We give
Mr. Councillor Blackburn joy of his allies. Give es
proof of your numbers—give us indication of your power.
We know the empty nature of vcur boasting., and laugh
to scorn your foolish, and unmeaning threats. Mr. Coun•
cillor Blackburn's independence of public opinion we ad-
mire; it is in exact accordance with our views ; but we
despise that slavish subserviency which was manifested
when it was necessary to secure the public favour, as a
stepping-stone to power.
We proceed.—ln noticing the goodly proportion of
Protestants who were in the schools, (250 to 1050 Roman
Catholics,) he relates the persecutions they suffered from
the vulgar. rabble, and declares it was necessary to call
in the police before quietness could be obtained.. Could
I he not also have told the Council how Mr. Councillor
Rathbone was pelted, and how when two young•erchins
were apprehended for throwing stones at the
children of
the Corporation School, it was deemed of so much conse-
ge,nt in
uence, that Mr. Rathbone, in his character of Magistrate,
repaired to the Judicial Bench and gave, judgement
favour " of the little :ears belonging to our schools."
We must, however, hasten to a conclusion. Mr. Coun-
cillor Blackburn asserts that one hour each day in the

week the Billie Was used, and that Protestants ought td
be satisfied with this! This is candid. Now we have the
truth, and Protestants must judge upon ,ghat ctindititinit
they would send their children to these He adds,
that the arrangement is so admitable, (11.1 t a man of re-
ligion or of no religion, might receit e, and, We stippos;el

" it was tin this ground he admired was the excel-
lency and glory of that system." How Consolatory thist
must have been to poor Mr. Rathbone, who had been
censured for teaching in the school's what he believed td
be false. He would lay the flattering unction to his souli
and endeavour to smile away those compunctions which
he must feel when reason triumphs over passion.
One word in parting to Mr. Councillor Blackburn:
Never malign your ojiponent. Yon Were indignant at
the innocent sarcasm of the Rev. Iltigh M'Nelle, and
yet you cherish a feeling of bitter enmity against your
opponents, and avail yourself of every opportunity to
abuse them. Compare your slanders against the Con-
servative party, and say if we have ever excelled—ever
equalled them ? What you call the " malignant howl
of faction" we suppose was the demonstration at the
Amphitheatre, when 5,000 voices Were heaid in condem-
nation of your system. Does it become you as a pro,
fessed Christian to use such coarse language to your op-
ponents, at least your equals in character, in station, in
learning, and respectability ; But we forbear. Nth
Councillor Rathbone followed, and read a speech, Which
our reporter asserts was very dry. He very considerately
declined any lengthy reply to Mr. M'Neile's powerful
letter. The Irish board, Mr. Rathbone says, in addition
to the hour which is set apart for religious insatictioh,
make it their object to promote, and they strongly recom-
mend—What ? Why, the reading of the Scriptures in
the hour set apart for such purpose ! Verily this is
something like a reply to Mr. APNeile., We intend in
our next number to notice at length the speech of this
honourable Councillor. If some of the members of the
Town Council would entertain a little more respect foe
the understandings of their constituents, it would be bet=
ter, and not insult them with falsehood, and calumny,
and abuse. The reasoning of Mr. Councillor Rathbone
reminds us strongly of a passage of Pope's, when he
says, " that in every sect or party the most ignorant are
the most violent." Our friend Mr. Councillor Lawrence
Heyworth followed Mr. Rathbone, and his long effusion,
has laid a tax upon our Italic ease. It is only on the
principle which he laid down that we can justify its ap-
pearance in our columns. We can at any rate rival the
famous Hypnologist. To our readers we say, read
Mr. Councillor Lawrence Heyworth's speech the " last
thing going to bed ;" it is sure to produce " Nal
ture's sweet restorer, balmy sleep." Mr. Coun-
cillor Lassen followed, and the peroration of his
speech was quite in a supplicating mood ;—" Grant,"
says he, " to the Committees their confidence for ano-
ther year, and give them a fair chance of success." We
are disposed to be liberal, but not at the expense of truths
We cannot sacrifice a principle to gratify a Town Council=
tor. They arenot of sufficient importance now-a-days. Mr.
Wahusley came next, but it is very clear from the tenor
of his speech that he-did nut understand the subject, as
we will prove on Tuesday. But that is of no conse-
quence,—a Councillor talks against time. Mr. Coun—
cillor E. Smith came next in succession, and his speech
was a perfect comment on the frequent interruptions he
had given during the course of Mr. Blackburn's address.
When Mr. Councillor Blackburn expressed his independ,
ence of the public, or rather of the "vulgar rabble,"--=
Mr. Councillor E. Smith broke silence by his sig•
nificant—"Hear, hear." Now, however, we find
hint standing forward as the representative of a
large ward, and arguing from these very circum-
stances that his opinions should have great weight
with the Council. It is very (cell that this worthy
Councillor informs the public that he was educated at
the Royal Institution, as no one would ever have sus-.
pected it, if his speech is correctly reported. We have
some amusement in store for our readers, which we shall
endeavour to produce next week. Mr. Councillor James
Heyworth's speech will amply repay a careful perusal : it
is candid, faithful, argumentative, and full of sound rea-
soning. We shall endeavour, at a future time, to glean
some of its beauties and present them in a more concise
forma It stands alone in this discussion for perspieuity
and richness of thought. Mr. Cemicillor 'Bolton next
engaged the attention of the Council, and said that as
" conscientious parents they could not send their children
to the former schools, because they were constrain-
ed to read the authorised version of the Scriptures."
In the next breath he tells us there are about 150,0(X) versions
of the Scriptures. "There was a gentleman who had examina
ed 30,000 manuscripts, and had published a new version."
" Archbishop Newsome had done the same," (that is, examined
30,000 manuscripts and published a new version.) "Mr. Wake•
field had done thesame," (that is, examined 30,000 manuscripts
and published a new version.) So h, ra we have 150,000 new
versions, the latter three compiled from 90,0(X) manuscripts,
and this learned Councillor is wandering in the endless mazes
of the labyrinth, intent upon ascertaining the correct version
before, as a conscientious parent, he can put the•. Bible into the
hands of his children. This is very correct logic and can be
sustained by the premises. The deductions are agreeable to
rule. We say,—study the manuscripts! Mr. Bolton,—study
the manuscripts!

The Mayor could not give a silent vote on the occasion—it was
too important. We will venture to say that such a composition
was never heard within the walls of the Town-hall before. It
has novelty to recommend it. If our readers will notice, they
will find almost every note of interrogation succeeded in thu
next sentence by a period. It is a succesion of question and
answer. The Mayor asks a quesiion, and answers it according

Councillor Jordan told the Council that be was one of the
founders of one of the largest schools in Liverpool, and that the

better man coual not be." The audience, not having any fancy

Whether we regard the variety and importance of the
articles selected, or the address and ability with which
they are discussed, we are equally gratified and instructed
by the happy and erudite skill displayed in the present
number of the British and Foreign Review. The first
article presents us with a compendious view of the
" Trade and Consular Establishments of the Levant," in
which the speech of P. M. Stewart, M.P, in the House
of Commons, on Wednesday, April 20, 183 G, in support
of his motion on the subject of the aggression of Russia,
and other contemporaneous and correlative works, are
faithfully examined, and the several arguments found in
them pursued to practical conclusions—the whole evin-
cing comprehensive knowledge, sound judgment, and
deep penetration. The second article, on " Persia," is
replete with that information which goes to form the ac-
complished scholar, who desires to lay his foundation
upon sound historical facts, and -to build an intellectual
structure which will bear the minutest examination;
much that is novel, and more that is interesting will be_
found in every page. We next come to the article on the
" British Association at pristol;" and here we should be
glad to enter, and expatiate on the probable results of
these periodical concentrations of learned and scientific
men, if our limits would allow; but self-denial is the ex-
ercise to which we are called; and we the more readily
submit to it, because a thousand times more than what
may be deficient from our forbearance, is supplied by the
writer of the present article. He enters very fully into
the consideration of existing arrangements, and suggests
improvements, some of which would, doubtless, serve to
promote the objects of the association. We think so in-
teresting, and, altogether, a nineteenth-century institu-
tion, ought to be governed according to the best laws;
and since what is said in morals, "nem° repente turpis.
sinus"—no one becomes suddenly desperately wicked—
is equally true of all constitutions, they are not perfect
at once; every hint offered, as these are, in the spirit of
candour, ought to receive due consideration ; they do
not spring into being, like Minerva, completely armed at
all points. We are, we believe, to be honoured next
year, with this Assemble des Savans—they who read at-
tentively the present paper, will have an opportunity of
judging of its practical application. We could thus pro-
ceei to notice the same display of ability in several of
the succeeding articles, each equally important, but "the
limits of our space" forbid us; we therefore pass on to
the article on " National Education," because that topic
has occupied our leading columns of to-day, and also be-
cause we find in it allusions of local interest to Liver-
pool. The first sentence seems to be fully justified by
the late proceeding of our Town Council :—" It is not
universally admitted in these enlightened islands," says
the .writer, " that a good education is a good thing."
After a very eloquent apostrophe to the condition of Ger-
many, we find these words immediately applicable to
ourselves:—" Every one had the privilege of falling into
as many errors as he chose, and of groping out of them
as he could, on the important matter of his own and his
children's instruction"—to wit Liverpool—and he adds,
very pertinently, in a subsequent page,. that such instruc-
tion is " worse than nu instruction at all." So far we
accord our sentiments to the writer of the article before
us, but with him we can proceed no further. His object
is to educate the mind only ; we feel it to be of equal
importance, a permanent duty, to educate the heart also.
There is no system of education that can be considered
complete that excludes religion, and morals founded upon
religion. You nray make, by secular education, the dex-
terous sharper—the subtle politician—the skilful artist—
the philosopher; but we will never make that noblest of
all creatures the moral and religious man. There will
be found in the paper now under consideration much
thinking, many clear views, and every where We choicest
composition.

(FROM THE TIMES.)
'With a mixture of pain and surprise we this day pre-
sent a series of letters, followed by an official document,
for none of which, we imagine, have the Protestants of
these islands been vet prepared, notwithstanding the ac
cumulated proofs which have been offered to them, of
what the Established Church of the United Kingdom
ought to driad, from the treachery or fatuity of her sworn
protectors.
The case is this :—The Rev. Mr. Nolan, who had ab-
jured the Church of Rome. and transferred his ministe•
rial services to that reformed church with whose pure te-
nets his own enlightened faith coincided, was appointed
by the Lord Primate, curate of the parish of Athboy, in
the county of Meath, a rectory which appears, from the
circumstances of the short narrative transmitted to us, to
be annexed to the archiepiscopal see of Atmagh, the
Rev. Robert Noble, writer of the letter No. 3 in the cor-
respondence, being vicar of the same parish. Mr. No-
lan was recognised as curate by the Lord Bishop of
Meath, and authorised by that prelate to assert the rights
of his curacy, and to execute its duties. It appears that
Mr. Nolan, having come on one occasion, above a month
ago, into the diocese of Dublin, preached in the church
of Lucan, a few miles from. Dublin, a sermon, which our
correspondent describes from report to have been " calm,
dispassionate, and argumentative," although of a contro-
versial nature—that is, vindicating the truths of the Pro-
testant religion against the srrors and the denunciations
of that false church whose ministers are perpetually heap-
ing the most calumnious charges against protestantism,
and inflaming at once the superstitious prejudices and
the fiery passions of the
,Popish multitude against the
lawful rights, the character, and persons of the established
clergy. We have yet to learn that there was anything
criminal in this—anything beyond the ftilfihnent of a
sacred duty, on the part of Mr. Nolan. However, we
find from letter No. 1, addressed by the domestic chap-
lain of the Archbishop to Atchdeacom Magee, rector of
St. John's, Dublin,. that his Grace, the. whig-radical
Archbishop, Dr. ‘Vhately, was resolved to prohibit Mr.
Nolan from preaching or performing any clerical office
whatever within the, diocese over which the said Dr.
Whately presided. 'The rev. gentleman Mr. Nolan,
having come to Dublin, and received the full permission
and authority of ArchdeaCon Magee to preach from his
pulpit in St.. John's Giureli, the chaplain wrote to an-
nounce to the Archdeacon the. embargo laid upon the
spiritual functions of the rev. proselyte, by order of the
Most Rev. Prelate. We de think that Dr. Whately
ought to explain to the Protestant world, in both coun-
tries, his reason for this peremptory and ungraoiousnot
to say suspicious—act. Does the Protestant Archbishop
mean to discountenance expositions hum. the pulpit of
the points disputed between the Church of England' and
that of Rome ? Dues he declare that there shall be no
defence or justification from-any. Protestant pulpit within
the archiepiscopal diocese of Dublin-s-••no defence, we
say, of the doctrines of the reformed church in contra-
distinction from those of the Romish ? Or is it his wish
that no lay Protestant shall receive such instruction (rum
his apiritual pastor as may enable him to give " a reason-
fur the faith that is in him?" Or, finally, is it the fixed
purpose of this mathematical, economical, political, whig
archbishop to co-operate with the Popish heirarchy in
Ireland by frowning down and discountenancing every
Roman Catholic convert whose conscience might inspire
him with a disgust to popery and. with a reverence for
the Protestant faith, and might dispose him to read his
recantation. Those rev. and virtuous clergymen, Mr.
0. Croly and Mr. Crotty, have inflicted such deep wounds
on the whole machinery of Irish Romanism, by their ear-
nest and edifying exposures of the gross,- unchristian
wickedness, and corruption, which have eaten into the
vitals of that earth born and deceitful system, that it al-
mostseems as if the whig- radical archbishop dreaded the
fatal effects which popery might experience from a repe-
tition by fresh proselytes of the same course of instruction
to mankind, and has therefore striven to shut their mouths,
and suppress the reasoning by which, while they vindi •
cate their own flight froM the regions of darkness, they
beseech their yet unliberated brethren to partake with
them the blessings of conversion. For it is nut. Protes—
tants only, but pious Roman Catholics, eager for that
knowledge which their own ministers dare not dispense
to them, who throng to hear.the Word of truth from' the
lips of these converted preachers, labouring once under
the like errors with themselves, and qualified therefore
fully to develope and elucidate every stage of those strug-
gles of the inward man which have ended in their own'
recovery to the fold of the Redeemer.
It was, such a congregation, so crowded and so mixed,
of which our Irish correspondent paints the astonishment
when Archdeacon Magee announced to them, aftt r the j
communion service, on Sunday last, that the hand of power I
had silenced the teacher whom they had flocked to hear.
What excuse the most ree,. potentate of Dublin may
present to the Protestant world of both islands for an act
so arbitrary, and to religious minds, under all the, circum-
stances of these eventful . o rev •ng, it is not for us
to guesS at. ' Sure we are e p s will require no
apology—sure we are that Dr Murray
Dr's. Hale and
Mph
. were at the elbow of our liberal metropolitan, they would
smother him with applausesotbsolations, and indulgen-
cies, for this display of " wholesome rigour" towards one
who is already no doubt anathematized from every popish
altar in the land, for being at once a heretic and an apos-
tate. It would nothing surprise us if Dr. Whately had
thus earned for himself an honorary enrolment among
the members of the "rebellion-rent" association in Dub-
lin, prefaced by a cut-and-dry panegyric from the depot
of Mr. Daniel O'Connell. Decent men of all parties
condemn and reprobate the act.

Mr. Alderman BitowN, on taking the chair, said he should
ill discharge his duty as a member of the society whose anni-
versary meeting they had met to celebrate, if he declined to
accept the honour which they.had conferred in requesting him
to preside over this present meeting.
The Rev. Dr. RAFFLES read the report, which deplored the
very limited support which the society had hitherto met with—
a support by no means commensurate to its great importance.
During the period of its existence the average annual income
not having been more than £ll7. The greatest sum contributed
to its support during any one year was in 1826, when the amount
was £143. 14s. With su limited an income it was impossible to
do what was wished. The report went on to state the urgent
necessity which exists that the morals and conduct of seamen
should be improved, as even the labours of the foreign mission-
aries have been found to be much retarded by the conduct which
some of them have pursued in foreign stations, It was urged
that the town should fie canvassed with the utmost activity, that
the ships should be visited, and that the lodging-houses should
he, as much as possible, attended to. With this view, Mr.
Joseph Pekin, it was stated, had been engaged as a stipendiary
agent,, and assistant secretary of the society, which would entail
an increased annual expenditure. Much was expected from the
zeal, talent, and devotion of the above-named gentleman. It
was stated, that during the past year a suns of money had been
contributed from the town of Sheffield, and but little doubt was
expressed but the society would receive annual support from
the same quarter. One year Manchester had contributed £2OO,
and it was thought much good might be done by seudinif depu-
tations to this and other towns soliciting contributions. The at-
tendance at the Floating Chapel, the report stated, was good,
and the devout attention and behaviour of the seamen highly
gratifying. An individual at the north end of the town had
built a loom fur public worship at his own expense, which was
now well attended. They bad also a school in the same quarter,
with teachers, &c., and the results were already very cheering.
The operations of the society in tracts and books, with the de-
partment of 814 libraries, was also stated to he in full activity,
six libraries having beets fitted up during the past year. Several
contributions of bibles and tracts were acknowledged from the
Bible Society, and from the London and Liverpool 'Tract
Societies.

CAMBRIDGE, Nov. 20.—Cambridge has, perhaps, scarcely
ever before exhibited a scene so striking and so solemn as that
of the funeral of this devoted servant of God.
The hour fixed for the coininencement of the funeral was 10
in the forenoon of yesterday. More than an hour before that
time, parties of ladies and gentlemen from among the inhabi-
tants of the town ware seen flocking towards the gates of King's
College, all hahited in deep mourning, and obtaining admission
by means of printed tickets which had been issued on the two
preceding days. Before the appointed hour the hall of King's
College was filled with members of the University. The deep-
est and most solemn melancholy seemed to pervade every face,
which was heightened by the sombre black of their dresses and
academical gowns, as well as by the peculiar manner in which
the cap is adorned when it is made a symptom of mourning; a
cockade is formed at the centre of the cap, from which radiate
four broad ribands, terminating at the• corners of the ,square ;
and on the part which encircles the head small bows are sewn
in every direction, so as to cover its surface. It was not until
considerably pest the appointed hour that the procession issued
front the College-hall and combination-room, where the mour-
ners had assembled. Proceeding from the hull, the procession
advanced round the grand quadrangle, walking four abreast;
'it was headed by time choristers, with their surplices, followed by
the scholars and fellows in hatbands of long silk, and large silk
scarfs coveriug their gowns. Last of these came the Provost
of the College, Dr.Thackery, in deep mourning. The princi-
pal .mourner, Sir -Richard Simeon, a nephew of the deceased,
followed the bier, which was borne upon the shoulders of men ;
among the other mourners were the trustees of his livings, and
many of the incumbents that filled them; and the rear was
brought up by an immense body of the members of the Univer-
sity, among whom were the professors, and many of the beads
of houses, and a very large number of fellows of colleges and
resident masters of arts. • Last of all came a long array of un-
der-graduates, who indeed, though last; constituted front their
number, the largest part of the procession. The whole, as they
walked closely four abreast round the spacious path that sur-
rounds the great quadrangle, nearly covered each side,—the
number exceeding perhaps 2,000. After passing behind the
fellows' building, the slow-pacing pageant entered the Chapel
through the western door, and proceeded at once through the
choir. On each side the visitors, who were not members of the
University, the greater part ladies and respectable females,
were arranged, and exhibited the deepest and most unaffected
grief. The body was placed in the centre of the choir, the
mourners arranged on either side; the clergy were accommo-
dated with the front seats, and the other members of the Uni-
versity passed on to the eastern side of Chapel; none but these
were admitted to join iu the procession or to enter the choir.—
The funeral service was read by the Provost, in a voice which
betrayed at times the deep interest he felt in the solemn duty;
the parts appointed to be sung were beautifully chanted by the
choristers of the College, and on the termination of the cere-
mony the " Dead March in Saul," was performed, with its
grand thunders on the organ, by Mr. Pratt, the usual perfor-
mer. The vault is near the western door, and is already occu-
pied by others of the senior fellows.
It is scarcely possible to conceive the effect of such a scene
as this in such a place as the Chapel of King's College, which
is literally one of the finest temples of Protestant worship in
the world. The whole town throughout the day partook of the
general feeling of mournful solemnity, which still continues to
be felt on this day (Sunday ;) the shops were all closed during
the ceremony, and a general silent awe pervaded the streets.
After the ceremony, a sermon was preached by the Bishop of
Lincoln at St. Mars's ; and this day two others at Trinity
Church, of which Mi. Simeon was lately the Rector,—one by
Dr. Dealtry, and the other by Archdeacon Hodgson, both of
which were heard by many more than the Church was intended
to accommodate.

MONDAY, Nov. 31.—Noon, Wind South.LMp&rate.

Mr. Alderman H. C JOrtEs, read over the accounts for the
past year.
Mr. Councillor HOPE proposed the first resolution, "That the
report be adopted, printed, and circulated, under the direction
of the committee.' He (Mr. Hopp) had early taken an ac-
tive part in the operations of the society, but he regretted* that
he had not lately had the opportunity cddoing so, notwithstand-
ing his ardent wishes for its welfare.. So far from his attach-
ment to it having suffered any abatement, it bad increased, by
every observation which he had made. Mr. Hope went on to
state, the great importance of paying every attention to the
morals of seamen, whom he had uniformly found exceedingly
susceptible of religious impressions, and grateful for instruc-
tion. Ile spoke not on his own individual authority alone, but
from the experience of others. When Bishop Heber landed
at Bombay, he was requested by a captain of a vessel to preach
to the seamen there. l'he bishop said, he would readily com-
ply, if he thought the seamen would be disposed to listen to
him. The captain requested him to make the experiment, and
he complied; when he was so highly gratified that he appoint.
ed a chaplain to perform this duty,ever after. He would ad-
dress himself to their interests as well as to their feelings of
Christian benevolence, and would ask them, if it were not their
interests that the seamen should be virtuous rather than wick-
ed, temperate rather than dissolute. Should such an immense
quantity of valuable property, as was imported into, and export-
ed from the port of Liverpool, be entrusted to drunkards, rather
than to men who could not conduct themselves respectably?
Even activity and bravery were to be expected in a greater de-
gree from the latter than the former. In this, he was borne out
by the testimony of Captains Parry, Ross, Basil, Hall and
others.

" Sir,—l am just come from St. John's church, within about
40 yards of the Castle gate, when the most crowded congrega-
tion 1 ever witnessed was collected together to hear the Rev.
Mr. Nolan, formerly a Roman Catholic priest, but now a Pro-
testant clergyman, the curate of Athboy, in the county of Meath,
and a curate to his Grace the Lord Primate. At the conclusion
of the communion service Archdeacon Magee, the rector of St.
John's, info' rued the astonished congregation that he was com-
pelled to inhibit Mr. Nolan from preaching that day in his
pulpit by the peremptory interdict of his Grace the Archbishop
of Dublin, who had prohibited Mr. Nolan from preaching in
any other part of his diocese. You must know that Mr. Nolan
preached a controversial sermon upon the errors of the Church
of Rome, about a month ago, at Lucan, a village within about
seven miles of Dublin, and within the diocese of the Archbishop.
I did not hear him, but from what I have heard of that sermon,
I should judge him calm, dispassionate, and argumentative. Iu
a discourse of considerable length he said nothing to offend the
worst prejudices of the many Roman Catholics who thronged
to hear him; he cited Scripture in refutation of every error he
impugned, and in support of every truth he enforced. The
present Archdeacon is the son of the late Archbishop of Dub-
lin—the pillar of the church in his day, and as the author of the
Atonement has contributeu, with some few other names, to take
from our native college the imputation of the silent sister. I
send you the copy of the correspondence 1,2, 3, and also the
original inhibit under the sign manual and seal of the Arch-
bishop of Dublin. As nobody I have yet seen of all parties,
and I have seen four or five, who do not. Condemn this measure,
even though it be Sunday, in order that you may have the same
by Tuesday's mail.

The Rev. Mr. LISTER seconded the resolution. He agreed
with Mr. Hope, that even the temporal interests of the ship-
owners of Liverpool, required that they should forward the
views of that society. The chairman knew, that very many of
the losses which took place at sea, were occasioned by the igna-
. ranee, and frequently by the intemperance of seamen. It was
desirable, that vessels should be manned by seamen, and com-
manded by toasters who had the fear of God before their eves.
The spiritual interests of seamen were interwoven with those
of their own countrymen, abroad and at home, as well as with
foreigners, who looked into their conduct for some of the fruits
of that religion, which was impressed upon them by our mis-
sionaries. The Rev. gentleman concluded by contrasting the
improved state of morals exhibited by seamen now, in this town
with those of some years since, and by seconding the resolu-
tion.

preach on Sunday next in St. John's Church. I tonal state,
however; I inquiled of Mr. Nolan whether he had received any

I could have no objection in permitting the Primate's own

Mr. Nolan front preaching in this diocese, I offer no factious
opposition, and shall forthwith intimate his Grace's decision to
Mr. Nolan. At the same time I must candidly adil, that, while
in this instance I yield my own private Opinion in deference to

'My dear Nolan,—As I find so‘rn‘attempted
B personsoy, Oct.hlve2B, l 836
to throw discredit upon your assertion, that you are ' curate of
A tbboy,' and curate to his Grace and Lord Primate, 1 write
this, which you may show to whom you please, assuring you
you that you have a full right to those titles. You were ap-
pointed curate of Athboy by the Primate in his capacity as
rector of this parish, of which I am only vicar, and you were
recognized and authorized as such by the Bishop of this diocese,
the Bishop of Meath.
" I only regret that the necessity of your personally superin-
tending the several editions of your last pamphlet, arid also
Your need of further medical advice, have caused your tempo-
rary absence, and I hope that the complete re-establishment of
your health will enable you soon to return to your curacy. and
to join in the work and labour of love, of convincing, rebuking,
exhorting with all long-suffering and Scripture doctrine, with
Your fellow-labourer in the vineyard of the Lord Jesus.
"11011EliT NOBLE, Vicar of Athboy.
"To the Rev. L. J. Nolan."

advocated the objects of the society, and gave a brief view of the
results of his past labours, and of his objects in future, from
which he appeared to augur great success.
Mr. PETees seconded the resolution in an emphatic and pow-
erful address, which was received with great applause. After
setting forth a number of striking arguments, he said he had
one of more weight than any of the rest. He begged to hand to
the chairman the sum of 1:8 125., which had been collected by
Miss Christian, and entrusted to hint for presentation.
Several small donations were then announced by the Rev. Dr.
Raffles, amounting to the sum of £ll Bs. 6d.

the confideuce which the seamen had in him, and that they com-
mended him to the prayers of the society.
The Rev. Moses Ftstitilt seconded the resolution. He had,
he stated, been present at the formation of the society, he had
watched it: progress with pleasure, and he now rejoiced at its
success.

THE KING V. THE PliuritiEToES OP THE MANCHESTEE
GUARDIAN._

Mr. Cresawell (with whoin—Was Mr. Peel) said that he had
been instructed, en behalf of Mr. Royds, to apply to their
lordships for a rtlic to show cause why a criminal information
should not be filed against the defendants, for a libel published
by them upon the character and conduct of Mr. Royds. It
would be in the recollection of Lo ,d Denman that two persons
had been tried before him upon the charge of having committed
a highway robbery on the person of a young gentleman named
Royds, who was the son of the gentlemen now complaining of
the libel in the riewspatter. The two prisoners had been con-
victed and sentenced to death, but that sentence bad been
changed to transportation. Some persons had interested them-
selves in procuring a commotntion of the punishment, and
among other grounds upon which it was supposed the merry of
the Crown ought to be extended to the prisoners, was one
founded upon the alleged confession of Koine men who had been
tried and convicted at Shrewsbury upon a different charge. It
Was said that the confession of these men clearly exculpated
the men who had been convicted before Lord penmen. As the
royal mercy was not at once extended to these prisoners, the
defendants chose to attribute the circumstance to the improper
interference of Mr. Royds, and on the 19th of October there
appeared
.in their paper an article relating to the matter, and
reflecting upon his character and conduct in a manner which,
if tree, would show him to he unworthy
of any longer holding
the commission of the peace. The learned gentleman then re-
ferred to an article contained it, the 3fanchester Guardian, which
at great lemith went into the (pies:ion of the guilt or innocence
of the men who who had been convicted of the robbery upon
the younger Mr. Royds,'mooned that they were innocent, im-
peached The justice of the sentence against them, and eccused
Mr. Roy kt of lowing improperly interposed between them and
the mercy of the Crown. It asserted, "Mr Royds is a person
of wealth and influence, and he hue used both without hesita•
lion and wiiMott stint." This assertion lie most positively
denied. The wiper it en attributed to his influence the delay or
the refusal of mercy to these prisoners, and said, " It is easy
for a man introduced by tor ii,fitientittl member of parliament
tt e was
oeirnfiu no aroundceth'e
mind
: of Mr. Capper, and to persuade him that
h.f .r the application for the royal mercy ; ..
and it then went on to attribute the opposition to party motives,
which Mr. Royds also denied. The article then attributed to
Mr Royds some notice of the matter which had appeared in
Wheeler's Manchester Chronicle, and, assuming hint to be the
sothor of that notice, criticised him and it very severely. Mr.
R „,1„1,0 denied that he sent anything to Wheeler's Manches-
ter Chronicle on this subject, except the correction respecting
11,0 number of a watch, a Part of the property stolen. The ar-
ticle then went on to say that the ears of the Home-office, and
of the learned judge who tried the prisoners, had been poisoned
by statements which no one had leis right to make than Mr.
Royds. That gentleman utterly denied the truth of this ac
notation, and felt that as to one part of it he might with confi-
dence appeal to Lord Denman himself. There had been an ex-
amination of the prisoners convicted at Shrewsbury. This ex•
ernination was eolirhicted without the presence of Mr. Royds or
his son, and had for its object to ascertain how far the confes•
snips of those prisoners were to be relied tin. That examina-
tion had been made the subject of misrepresentation by the de-
fendants, and Mr. Royds was equally accused rif "gelling up"
evidence out of this examination not conformable to the facts
na proved nt the trial before Lord Denman. After going
through many statements in the paper of the 19th of October,
and in another of the 26th of that month, the learned counsel
pressed for his rule, and asked whether it wan to be tolerated
that matters of this kind were thus to be made the subjects -rd.

tors arid judges were thus to be arraigned by the writers in
them ?
