with the bible in their hand, that blessed Word of God
which Dr. Cahill has been so calumniating ; and with the
of God in their hearts—for they must have his
—em to withstand all this, and yet con-
go from house to house, door to door, to ask those
.o.hted men to hear the blessed words of the

they are ten time

and if great

greater in Ireland,

where such horrible persecutions are daily issued against
them, and they have nothing to comfort them but that
glorious Word which, in spite of all that Dr. Cahill can

say against it, stands forth still unshorn of one beam of
its imperishable brilliancy, uncontaminated in one line of
its all-enduring purity.—(loud applause.) There it is, and
in the language of the poet, we can say of the Bible :

" Well—what are ages and the lapse of time
Matched against truths as lasting as sublime?
Can length of years on God himself exact?
Or make that fiction which was once a fact?

And, like the graver's memory, pass away.
The works of man inl'erit, as is just,
Their author's frailty, and return to dust;
But truth divine for ever stands secure—
Its bead is guarded as its base is sure ;
Fixed in the rolling flood of endless years,
The pillar of the eternal plan appears—
The raving storm and dashing wave defies—
Built by that Architect who built the skies."

Again we
shake

might say to Dr. Cahill, when he attempts to
ne's trust in the Bible alone as a rule of faith, as

cl in arts,

" Whence but from heaven should men unskill
In different ages born, in different parts,
Weave such agreeing truths? or how or why
Should all conspire to treat us with a lie?
Unask'd their paint, ungrateful their advice,
Starving their gains, and martyrdom their price."
And when Dr. Cahill says that the Bible is not a com-
plete rule of faith, but only half the rule, the unwritten
word of God making up the remainder, we again answer
him in the sarcastic words of the poet, expressive of what
tradition is :

" When men go wrong with an ingenious skill,
Bend the straight rule to their own crooked will,
And with a bright and shining lamp supplied,
First put it out, then take it for their guide,
Hobbling on crutches of unequal size.
One leg by truth supported, one by lies;
They sidle to the goal, with awkward pace,
Secure of nothing but to lose the racy."—(Cheers.)

Now let me refer to the concluding charge that Dr.
Cahill gives to his people as to going abroad. He declares,
in the last page, "I only wish I might have a week's dis-
cussion with Lord John Russell or Lord Palmerston."
This man that won't meet any one in discussion, but
from every one that offers ! (Cheers.) Well,
goes on to state, " You know who would have the better
side of the question." We do know it well. (Hear,
hear.) " You that are in England, (he says,) I charge
you not to think of returning to Ireland; but iden-

runs a

tify yourselves wi

.espeetable positions. There is no work for you
_says again to his friends, the

Doti't go to America ; stay at home,
and identify yourselves with England." Now, have we
not a moral proof, in this advice, not to go back to Ire-
land, that Dr. Cahill fears the glorious work of the refor-
mation in Ireland ? (Hear, hear.) Does not his own
party acknowledge it ? The following are from the two lead-
ing Irish Popish newspapers, and conducted by two mem-
bers of Parliament:—

"We repeat that it is not Team, nor Cashel, nor Armazh,
that are the chief seats of successful proselytism, but this
very city (Dublin) in which we live."—Tablet,Bth November,
1851.
The latest testimony is in the Nation :

"There can no longer be any question that the systematized
proselytism has met with an immense success in Connaught
and Kerry. It is true that the altars of the (Roman) Catholic
Church have been deserted by thousands born and baptized
in the ancient faith of Ireland. . . .

"How is it to be met and counteracted? is the problem.
How is it to be arrested? is a solemn question which priest
and laymen, which citizen and politician, should seriously
consider. For our history tells us that the most persistent
and formidable enemies to (Roman) Catholicity
.were the
children of the first generation of Irishmen who joined the
Established Church. _

"hall the soupers and tract distributors accomplish the
work Nr hich all the force of England, for 300 years, has been
unable to effect ?"—Nation of November 20, 1852.

Dr. Cahill delivered a lecture here, termed " The glo-
rious triumphs of the Catholic church all over the world ;"
and yet he advises his people not to go to Ireland, nor to
America. Let me give you now a little about America ;
and remember I don't give Protestant authorities for these
things, I am now giving you a quotation from the Free-
man's Journal, Saturday, April 24th, 1852. It is the
testimony of Priest Mullins, who was sent out to America
upon a begging expedition—some itinerant expedition—
just the same as Dr. Cahill has got here :

" Twelve years ago, America had a population (according
to Dr. England, Bishop of. Charleston) of 1,200,000. Calcu-
lating the increase of this number by births at the very small
number of 500,000, and adding, for converts in the large cities
and towns 20J000. we will have the following total:—

cathofic mut, fa CFax. 100 Z to 000,000
Pf „ from 1844 to 1852 1,200,000
VP „ from other countries 250,000
American Catholic Population 12 years ago 1,2:0,000
Increase by births since
Number of converts 20,000

Number who ought to be Catholics
Number who are Catholics

Number lost to the Catholic Church
Say, in round numbers, two millions!"

3,970,000
1,980,000

1,990,000

Accordingto the testimony of Priest Mullins, this is what
Dr. Cahill calls the glorious triumph of the Catholic Church

Now, I will refer for a moment to another extract from
Dr. Cahill's speech at the Concert-hall upon the
social condition of the Irish. It is to the effect
that they now saw no slanderous articles in the
Times, because Napoleon 111. was standing at the
head of 500,000 men. Aye, you are right there, in
a measure, Dr. Cahill, inasmuch as your hope is not in the
power of God, nor in the circulation of the Bible, but in
French bayonets—bayonets dyed in the gore of the sub-
jects of the Pope—bayonets that keep the tiara upon his
head—that keep him in the Vatican, and that prevent
him from being a houseless vagabond upon the face of the
earth. (Loud cheers, and the Kentish fire.) And now,
in conclusion, let me again bring before him, not decla-
mation, but plain open fact. He has the audacity, in
various places, to state that the morality which is prac-
tised by Roman Catholics in Roman Catholic districts, is
an evidence of the truth of the system, and that England
contains a most horrible amount of infidelity, of crime,
and abomination. Now, then, I will give him argument
in return. I will give you statistics taken from the
register of 1852. In round numbers, England, Ireland,
and Wales contain a population of 24,000,000; Ireland
containing a fourth of this, 6,000,000. Calculating that
the ratio of criminal cases would be equal in these
several countries, Ireland must be debited only
with one fourth of what is debited to the whole
twenty-four millions, namely, 45,188. Ireland should
only be chargeable with 11,297 ; but she is debited with
17,078 ; so that she has contributed 6,381, considerably
above one-half of her due proportion, to the aggregate
of this criminal record. It may be said it is not fair to
take these things "in the lump." Well, suppose we take the
town or the county of Tipperary—(oh ! and laughter)—
a thoroughly Roman Catholic county, and take a Protest-
ant county. Tipperary contains a population of 323,839 ;
Down, a population of 401,453 ; 100,000 more than Tip-
perary. But while the criminal cases in Popish Tip-
perary are 1711, in Protestant Down, with nearly 100,000
more inhabitants, the returns for 1852 show them to be
441. (Cheers.) Thus, when we bring Dr. Cahill to the
test, we find that this clerical lampooner is only feasting
upon the credulity of the dupes that he makes. Just try
another piece of statistics. It is said that Tipperary is the
worst county in Ireland. Granted: well, then take Limerick,
with its population of 201,619, half the population of Down.
Still, Limerick produced Last year 1,068 criminal cases against
the 441 of Protestant Down. (Cheers.) I need say no more.
It is plain that wherever the Popish religion is dominant
there crime is rampant, and ignorance prevailing. Dr. Cahill

conclusion,
utere swum. De one Roman Catholic here that has been
listening to the truths which I can vouch for and chal-
lenge contradiction upon, I would ask him, in love for his
own soul, to consider these subjects. Let him not look
upon me as an enemy, but as one who has a duty to per-
form to him and to his God ; who has to declare all things
as they are, leaving conversion and conviction with the
Holy Spirit. We do not place these facts before you to
insult yon. We love you with all our hearts and
botilq: and we pray, every time wo go to bed, and
every time we get up, that our Roman Catholic bre-
thren may become convinced and converted. I am
willing to spend and be spent in your service • I am
willing to meet those of your persuasion in a charitable
spirit ; and I promise never to utter one personal rema4:

free as the Bible which
is to the blessed Bible

Let that word, then, be a lamp to your feet and a light to
your paths, and hug it to your bosoms as you would hug
your best property. Value it ; and hand it down to your
children as a precious gem. Teach them to study it ; and
oh, when their little lips can pronounce the sacred name
of " father," let them also be able to pronounce that of

a be able to feel in their hearts, from

sentiment of' the nolife Chillinga=orth,—" The Bibles and
the Bible alone, is the religion of Protestants." (Cheers
and continued applause.)

The Cue iumJii expressed, on behalf of the meeting, a
vote of thanks to the lecturer ; and intimated that the
Protestant Reformation Society are establishing agents in
almost every town in England, to oppose the efforts of
the Papacy and stem the flood of error.
The doxology was then sung, and the meeting closed.

LAUNCH OF A SCREW STEAM-SIIIP.—The African
Steam-ship Company's new vessel, the Northern Light,
will be launched on Thursday next, from Mr. Laird's
yard, Sefton-street. The Northern Light is 1200 tons
measurement, and will be fitted with engines of 200-horses
power, by Messrs. Fawcett and Co.

- THE gOVEEE'IGN OF THE SEAS, which sailed from this
port on the 7th of September, was passed on the 27th, in
lat. 18 N., lon. 23 W. She was at that time out 20 days,

miles per day

THE FASTEST PASSAGE TO AIISTEALIA..—The Victoria
screw steam-ship, from London to Melbourne, made the
passage in 62 days, the fastest on record, and it is believed
that she called at Adelaide, which will render the passage
still shorter. The screw steam-ship Argo, which arrived
at Plymouth on Thursday, also made a very rapid passage
out and home, having left Southampton on the 7th of
May, and reaching Plymouth on the 27th of October, five
months and nineteen days.
CASUALTY TO AN AMERICAN EMIGRANT VESSEL.--
On Monday, the Charles Croker, belonging to Bath, U.S.,
on her way from Liverpool to New York, with upwards of
500 passengers, was obliged to put into our lough through
stress of weather, her canvas having been almost com-
pletely destroyed, and more or less damage occasioned to
her spars. She was towed into the roads by the steam-tug
Belfast. On Sunday, while a lad was on the jibboom, he
lost his hold and was drowned. Beyond this, the vessel
has suffered no injury, and will be ready for sea in a few
days.—Belfast Banner.
Mons InoN SHIPS.--The substitution of iron for wood,
as a material, threatens shortly to place many inland
localities on a par, as to advantages, with Liverpool or any
other seaport. We had lately a proof of this in the launch
of the splendid iron ship Tayleur, from the yard of the Bank
Quay Foundry, at Warrington ; and we understand that
the same builders have received an order from Messrs.
Gibbs, Bright, and Co., for another iron ship of large
dimensions, also to be built and launched at Warrington.

This new ship is to be, we understand, 100 feet longer than
the Tayleur, and 10 feet longer than the Great Britain.
THE STEAM-BRIP ANTELOPE has arrived out, after a
tedious voyage, occasioned by detention at Madeira and
Rio de Janeiro, in order to repair the damaged machinery.
During some heavy weather she experienced after leaving
the Cape, she proved herself an excellent sea-boat, and the
vessel and her machinery were in good order on her arrival
at Melbourne. The passengers expressed themselves per-
fectly satisfied with the treatment on. board. She would
sail for Sydney on the 23rd August, full of passengers,
(those she took from England all landing at Port Phillip,)
and it has been decided to run her regularly between those
ports and Adelaide.
TRADE or LIVERPOOL IN 1852.—Mr. Braithwaite Poole
has published some interesting statistics respecting the
trade of this port for the year 1852, by which it would ap-
pear that the number of tonnage and vessels that entered
and cleared at the port was 16,693 vessels, with a tonnage
of 3,311,244 inwards, and 13,168 vessels, and 2,821,046
tonnage. He also furnishes a summary of the number of
tons of each article imported, with the value ; the imports
amounting to 2,370,082 tons, and valued at £57,000,000.
The exports amount to 2,132,097 tons, of the value of
£53,000,000; total of exports and imports, 4,502,179 tons,
and valued at £110,000,000. These figures exhibit the
important fact, that the imports and exports of Liverpool
are in value above one-eighth of the entire imports and
exports, and of the productions in agriculture, minerals,
and manufactures of Great Britain and Ireland.
CAUTION TO SEAMEN.—Seamen should be aware of the
heavy penalty to which they become liable should they by
intemperance unfit themselves for the performance of their
duties, as stipulated in the articles of agreement. The
brig Scipio was detained two or three tides last week by
the absence of two of the crew, who were apprehended
and brought before Mr. Harrison, at the Town-hall, on
Saturday. They would have been committed for three
months, in accordance with the provisions of the act, had
not Captain Cowman at the last moment been induced, at
their entreaty, to request permission to withdraw the
charge, the men engaging at once to return to their duty,

and to .110 - 41. c. ;:caa:As. in Quell wilco, to 11A apitort;il
from their wages.— Whitehaven Advertiser.

TUE Loss -01, THE DALHOUSIE.—FroIIa the circum-
stances that have now come to light respecting the loss of
the Dalhousie, we arrive at the conclusion that the melan-
choly occurrence is solely attributable to the vessel being
top-heavy, and also crank, from the stowage or shifting of
the cargo. The ship, it is now confirmed, lurched over,
and lay on her beam-ends for about twenty minutes before
she sunk, which was the information given at first to our
correspondent at Deal, by Reed, when he landed. When
in this state, Captain Butterworth was busy in getting the
deck-load, and other top-hamper, thrown overboard ; and
it is surprising to us that he did not, at the same time,
think of cutting away the masts. Had this been done it
would, in all probability, have saved the vessel, while the
masts themselves would have made a raft on which some
lives might have been saved. It is our belief that the ship
did not sink through leakage, or from having a quantity
pr prevented
den shlelre tk
of water in her. She may have had a little, which, of
course,
