LIVERPOOL MARKETS.

CORN EXCHANGE.-FRI DA 7, OCT. 7, 15343.

The arrivals coastwise and from Ireland since Tues-
day, furnish a moderate supply only of Wheat and Flour,
a very limited quantity thence of other articles of the
trade; and from foreign ports we have no Grain or
Flour fresh in to notice.

Although the weather within the last few day's has
been favourable, we have to report an improyed feeling
in the trade this morning, as regards all descriptions of
old Wheat, for which there was a moderate demand from
our local millers ; and, with a few inquiries for the north-
ern mark'ets, and advance upon Tuesday's currency of
Id to 2d per 701bs was obtained; new samples, on th•!
contrary, were in
.slow request, and rather,
.cheaper.—
Flour was taken off less freely, at late prices:
Barley continuing scarce may be considered some-
what dearer, and Malt was held-firmly at former rates.—
Bians of all spits, both. free,and in bond, were in brisk
demand at an amendment of -is to 2s per qr., and very
few parcels now remain unsold.—Pease were also sale-
able at a similar improvement.
9ats were held in full as high terms ~as before, but
being taken off rather sparingly, no advance was realized.-
Oatmeal.experienced a ready sale at the extreme rates.of
TueSday. •

GREAT PROTESTANT DEMONSTRATION IN

GLASGOW

(Front the Times.)
GLASGOW, SATURDAY, EVENlSlG.—Coasiderahle excitement
has been created in this town by the discovery of an organised
conspiracy among the Roman Catholics of the place, which
might have been productive of the most fatal consequences.
Three meetings of the Glasgow Protestant Association have
been held within the last fortnight, convoked for the purpose of
directing the attention of the public to the progress and present
state of Popery in Ireland, at •which Mr. J. C. Colquhoun, of
Killermont, late M. P. for Dumbartonshire, a gentleman well
known for his zealous exertions in behalf of the Protestant
clergy of that country, and in defence of the established church,
presided. The .first of these was addressed by the Rev. Di:
Cook, of Belfast, the Rev. Dr. Stewart, of Broughshare, anti
Mr. Pringle, M. P. for Selkirkshire; the second by the Rev.
Mr. O'Sullivan. and the Rev. Michael Crotty, of Birr; and the
third by Mr. O'Sullivan, and several clergymen of Glasgow.
The meetings were held in Hope-street church, which on each
occasion was crowded by a numerous audience. 4 Admission to
the first two was obtained by tickets, for which 6d, was charged
in aid of the funds' of the assobiation. The interest excited by
the statements of the eloquent speakers was intense, and, in
order to give the working classes an opportunity of beiug pre-
sent; tickets fur the third meeting were distributed gratis. At
an early hour of the morning of Thursday, the day appointed,
.the shops at which they were to be procured were literally be-
sieged by troops of persons, the appearance and demeanour of
many of whom showed them to be Irishmen and Roman Ca-
tholics. At the hour of meeting .(half-past six o'clock in the
evening) the church was crowded in every part with an asserri-
blage which could not have consisted a less than 2,000 persens.
The platform was occupied by the most influential gentle-
men of the.city and neighbourhood; among whom we observed
Mr. Forbes, M.P. for.Stirlingshire, and Mr. Smoilett, younger,
of Bonbill. The first speaker, the .Rev.. Mr. Paterson, of St.
Andrew's Church, -Glasgow, was frequently interrupted in the
course of the observations which he addresse&to .the meeting
by a number of persons stationed in various parts of the build-
ing, known to be Roman Catholics, and who were evidently
acting in concert. A multitude of individuals of that per-
ivasion, who had arranged themselifes in -the passages of the.
gallery, were observed to be particularly clamorous, and
many of them, infuriated by the masterly exposure of the
errors of Popery made by the rev: speaker, gave expression
to the malignant spirit which actuated them in the most re-
volting execrations. Their turbulence became at length so
outrageous. that the chairman was forced to send for the
police, in order to protect the meeting. After a considerable
interval, during which the utmost alarm and agitation pre-
vailed among the audience, order was restored by the arrival
of a large body of .that force, and the proceedings were al-
lowed to close without any acts of open violence. After the
dismissal of the meeting, a most respectable clergyman of
this city, of whose name we are in possession, observed a group
of persons in Hope-street, who had been particularly active
in creating a disturbance, one Of whom was in: the act of
dmplyingohis pockets of a quantity of stones and other missiles,
exclaiming at the same time, " If- we had got at the gas-pipe,
how we would have smashed the Protestant scoundrels on the
platform." The clergyman was probably deterred from giving
the ruffian into custody by the number and aspect of his com-
panions, as well as the apprehension of creating a riot. It is
evident, from these expressions, as well as from fragments-of
sentences, heard from various persons in the meeting, that a plot
had been formed to cut off the supply of gas, and assail the gen-
tlemen on the platform with missiles which might have been pro-
ductive of fatal consequences to almost every person upon it.
Providentially the miscreants were not enabled to effect their
barbarous purpose, but it is dreadful to reflect that had they
succeeded in extinguishing the lights, they might, -from the
position which they occupied in the gallery which gave them
the command of the whole meeting, have carried it into execu-
tion, with perfect ease, and most probably with entire impunity.
Previous to the meeting, a Roman Catholic priest was seen in
the vicinity of the church, and talking with knots of persons of
-that denomination, many of whom, if we are not mistaken,
Cook an active part in the attempt to get up a riot. Had the
plot we have detailed been successful, we have not the least
doubt that the most fearful consequences to the Roman Catho-
lic inhabitants would have ensued, and that the perferuidum in-
genium Scotorum might have been excited to deeds which
would have even more than parallelled the frightful scenes
enacted in London and other towns towards the close of the
last century. As it is, the foul attempt will not be soon forgot-
ten. In connexion with this subject, it is gratifying to be able
to state that a most decided reaction has taken place among the
Working classes of Glasgow, and that, were the mendicant of
perrynane again to pollute it with his loathsome presence, he
would be hooted from its precincts with all the contempt and
aibhorrence which he has so richly earned by his infamous
career. His dastardly treachery on the factory question has
'thoroughly disgusted the few of his supporters here who have
any pretensions to respectability, and has been denounced in
the columns TX a Radical print, edited by the gentleman who:
presided at the soiree at which he was last year entertained-by
the trades.

We lave much pleasure in mentioning that Mr. Campbell,
a merchant of,this city, distinguished for the princely munifi-
cence of his charity, who lately gave 2,000 guineas to aid the
scheme of church extension now in progress in Scotland, has
offered to mike a provision of 501. per annum for a period of
five years for any number of Romish clergymen, not exceeding
30, who may have been hitherto deterred by the fear of destitu-
ion, as urged by the Rev. Mr. Crotty, from becoming converts
to Protestant principles. The sum is too small to be regarded
as at all approaching to a bribe, and sufficient to afford a de-
cent maintenance until they can procure the charge of Protes-
tant congregations.

P. S. \Ve may add, that a great Conservative festival is
talked of here, and will probably be held before Christmas.
The Conservatives of the west of Scotland seem to be shaking
off the apathy in which they were till lately plunged.
