(Great cheering.) He wished to respond to an expression or
two of 'two or three of the reverend gentlemen who; had sell
dressed them in the early part of the meeting, and his opinion
was, and he spoke it as an honest man—he spoke it in the.pre-
Bence of that dignified assembly, and-he would speak in the pie-
settee of an itssetnbled world, that he believed the chtirch of Eng-
land was indeed the great.break-water against the swelling tide of
popery at the present day. (Cheers.) He bogged to thank the •
rev. chairman and•the gentlemen around him, and it was his
opinion they were deserving of the thanks of that assembly cor-
dially, heartily, and unanimously offered, not merely becauie
they had stepped forward to defend the established church of
the country, and 'the schools; identified with her, but also they
had done the noble duty of stepping forward to-preserve their
common christianity. (Loud cheers.) The rev, gentleman; .
then at some length entered into argoments against the system
of education proposed to bp introduced. It went to establish .
the old popish dogma, that the laity had no right to read the ,
scriptures for themselves. The gentlemen who were bringing -
about this scheme were bringing shout, a state of: thithts the
opposite, he was ready to believe, to what they had intended:-
They sought to conciliate a numerous part of the population of
the town, but had offended a more numerous part. In order
that they might obtain the Roman catholic children at their'
schools they had driven all the protestams from them. (Pro-
tracted cheering.) It was must injudicions, unkind, ill-timed,.
and in itself wicked, and he trusted there were hearts resolved
in Liverpool to meet the attackWid to defend the citadel of Pro, •
testantism. (Great cheering.)
Mr. C. l-lOIIsFALL then put the resolution to the meeting,
and it was adopted with three rongds of applause.
The Rev. itEcTon Bnoons theTFf came forward and returned
thanks for the resolution which had just been passed. If any=
thing could enhance the value of the resolution, it would be that

established church of-Beotland, .seconded by an equally respect-
able minister of the Wesleyan persuasion. (Cheers.) it was a
most gratifying and delightful thing to them to see their church
supported by such auxiliaries, and he did hope and trust that •
peace and perfect peace would ever remain between them.
(Cheers.) He had only one word to add with regard to himi
self, for he had long been of opinion; that the less a man said _
of himself the better; he had only to say he was obliged to the -
meeting for the expression of approbation of the man-
ner in which he had endeavoured to conduct that meeting,.
and he would assure them that to the -very last moment of hit
existence it would be a gratification to him to think that it had
been his fortunate lot to preside at the first meeting which had

Some days ago, the vicar and curate of Miraude, in the Geri,
had left the church, when two young girls came in, and placed ,
themselves on their knees at the confessional, waiting the or..
rival of their pastor, in order to relieve their consciences from
the burden of their little peccadilloes. They were observed by
a young man, who, aware of the departure of the clergy, re-
solved to avail himself of the Opportunity of learning what nye
fair penitents could have to confess. He hastened into the yes- .
try, clothed himself with the sacred garments of the priesthood,
and was soon listening to the details of the sins of the damsels.
