TO CORRESPONDENTS.

The letter on the subject of " Whig Radical Impartiality and
Love of Justice" shall be inserted in our next.
We have not had time to examine the communication under
the title of " Splendid Picture."
The letter signed " Aufidius" has been received; but we must
make material alterations in it before we can venture to pub-
lish it.
" A True Conservative must excuse the non-appearance of
his letter to-day.
Matters of very pressing interest compel us to omit several ar-
ticles which are deserving of notice. A great number of let-
ters relating to the recent municipal election stand over until
Tuesday.
" A Ludicrous Scene at the Lyceum" requires a voucher.
"A Ladies' Man" suggests that facilities should be afforded for
the admission of ladies into the Amphitheatre on Tuesday
next.
We believe that the " Index Expurgatorins" may be seen at
the Athenmuni.
The vet ses of "A Young Conservative" will not suit us.

FRIDAY MORNING, NOVEMBER 4, 1836.

When evidence of any fact comes from different and
independent sources, it furnishes that kind of cumulative
proof which brings the most satisfactory conviction to the
mind. It is but a few days ago that we had the delightful
task of recording the revival of conservative principles
in the town of Liverpool, as evinced by two of the most
numerous, most respectable, intelligent, and influential
meetings ever assembled here ; and when it is again
told, that, on that occasion, the sentiments of nearly
2.000 persons burst forth as with one voice in favour of
those ancient and venerable institutions which have con-
ferred on England its political greatness, and on its peo-
ple personal liberty, protecting laws, a daily extending
commerce, with all the concomitants of social comfort,
and the intellectual elegancies of life, is it not a theme
for exultation ? But we are still answered (for infatua-
tion has a tongue though no reason) that there is no re-
, action. To demonstration therefore we again appeal.
An opportunity has just occurred for the free expression
of public feeling, and a scale, accurately graduated, has
been applied to mark the rise or fall of conservative and
destructive principles among us. On the election of 17
councillors, required by the provisions of the municipal
reform bill, we are gratified by the following result :-8
are returned, firm pillars cf the constitution, and 9 pio-
neers who are sapping its foundations. Had the same
ratio obtained which existed at the previous election in
1835, conservatism would have found little more than
one supporter, whilst radicalism would have rioted in
nearly 16. How the municipal spirit falls! From little
more than one, on this election, conservatism has risen to
B—from 16, radicalism has fallen to 9 ! and we may add,
with the surface still depressed, as indicating further de-
clension. If we apply the scale to the number of voters
not polled, as declared by the radical press, we find a still
more exhilarating evidence.of change. In the election
of 1835, under the first chilling influence of the munici-
pal reform bill, the conservatives were 950 below freez-
ing point; they are now 50 above it. The radicals were
then at the point where " spirit boils." Where are they
now ? At zero. Where will they be another year ?
Fixed like the ice-bound coast of Greenland, which no
rays of the sun of radicalism will be able to melt again.
Will it be said that this is no proof of reaction ? What
other proof do they demand ? If they had such evidence
of the increase of their ranks, they would trumpet it
forth with intimidation loud enough to shake the land—
and it is not less evidence because Conservatism, like
Truth, rests quietly on the arm of her own righteousness.

But the radicals, under the secret mortification of de-
feat, always endeavour to buoy themselves up with future
hopes, and tell their deluded followers, as Don Quixote
told Sancho Panza, when he was almost beaten tomummv,
of better things to come. One of those better things is
the return of another radical member to parliament at
the next election. Why, this is the desperation of mad-
ness, and resembles the expiring hope of the fallen an-
gels, who sought "courage in despair." The.same prin-
ciples that have wrought this happy change in the
municipal aspect of Liverpool, are the same principles
that will prevail at a parliamentary election. Be the time
distant or near, the character of Liverpool will, whenever
that period arrives, be purged of that opprobrium, under
which she now suffers, for sending a conservative mem-
ber, with grace upon his lips, to bless his country, and a
radical member, with a withering blast, to curse the hap-
piness of the land.
We cannot stoop to comment upon the disingenuous
charges which rankling defeat has provokingly put forth
in the columns of radicalism. Like the irritated scor-
pion they carry their own death in their tail. But one
point may deserve a little notice. It appears from the
representations of the radical journals, that almost half
the number of voters for the town council of Liverpool
have not polled! What an addition is this to the triumph
of conservatism ! They who are not against us are for
us. Explain it in any way that common sense does not
instantly repel, and what does this silent language (this
non-voting) proclaim ? What ! has the charm of muni-
cipal reform lost its fascination ? is the spirit of radical.
ism " laid," as other troublesome spirits are said to be,
quietly in the Red Seal--or is radicalism that satisfying
luxury that " a little more than a little is much too much."
Ha 'e 2,497 voters exclaimed jam satis est ? Oh, we
would say to our friends, and appeal to passing events
fur verification, see how marked a contrast there is be-
tween yourselves and your opponents! They have fed
(though it was a hasty meal) to repletion; but ye "tem-
perate in all things," are like those, in whom it seems 44 as
if increase of appetite had gruwn by w hat it on."

Nov. 4. 1836.

The wholesome pabulum of sound constitutional princi-
ples never produces satiety. It is the very condition of
error to find an end, though it may wander far—of pas-
sion to exhaust itself—but truth and virtue have a per-
durable existence; and though their course is never
marked by violence, yet it is always seen to be progres=.
sive. We would apply these reflections to the latent
voters on this occasion—they have seen their error, and
with prudence stop—excitement has expended its fuel,
and reason is restored. But let it be supposed, as it
seems to be by the radical press, that these 2,497 voters
voluntarily dropped from their hands the exercise of their
municipal privileges, because they felt reluctant to take
a part in the heart-burning rivalry of their neighbours-7-
because they saw they could not vote without wounding
the peace of one friend—sullying the fair character of ano-
ther—or breaking through many of those ties that hold
close in harmony the social compact. Is this not an ho-.
nourable feeling ? Would theta were more of it I But
what does it speak of the municipal reform itself? Duet
it not place upon its head all these curses ? Is not this
passive conduct the severest reprobation that bill could
receive ? Is it not a practical denunciation of its prin-
ciples ? Yes, we say, let it be published throughout the
laud, that 2,497 voters in the town of Liverpool, from
conscientious motives, relinquished all right and interest
conveyed to them by the municipal corporation reform bill,
and thus have virtually blotted it from the statute book.

But is this remarkable reaction without any assignable
motive ? Oh no. As clearly as any physical effect can
be traced back to its efficient cause, this restoration of
healthy principles in the public mind of Liverpool, ad-
mits of an easy and satisfactory explanation. Poisonous
drugs are sometimes active remedies of corporeal dis-
ease, and the poison of infidelity, and of political insu-
bordination, sometimes work out, by their virulence, a
moral depravity. " Who bath hardened his heart against
God and prospered," even in temporal things ? Shall
his " word" be under a human ban, and Providence not
vindicate it ? Shall it be withheld front the tender minds
of children, whom we are commanded to nurture in its
pure precepts, and no mark of Divine displeasure follow ?
Shall it be mutilated at the caprice of man with impu-
nity ? " Cursed," says the inspired writer, "be he that
addeth or taketh away from the words of this book ;" and
shall we shut our eyes to the result because we cannot
exactly follow the inscrutable hand of Him who causes
it ? We call upon all who profess the name of Chris-
tian, and who in truth and sincerity place their eternal
hopes upon the promises of God as revealed in his word,
to turn his eyes to our national school-rooms. Where
are those promising aspirants who once filled those half
vacant forms ? What has so signally lowered the tone of
that busy hum of studious childhood ? Where are the
thousands that were daily feeding upon spiritual truth,
and qualifying themselves, under a correct discipline, for
the future duties and destinies of life ? Where are they ?
Has a plague visited our streets, or a pestilence carried
away our offspring ? No ;—at least not the plague
that assails the body—not " the pestilence that walketh
at noon day," but that plague of unitarian or catholic in-
fidelity, which starves the soul—narrows the noblest
principles of the heart, and takes away from man his re-
fuge and his consolation in the trying moment of distress,
and in the awful hour of death. Ask the parents of those
hundreds of protestant children which are now withdrawn
from our national schools, why they forego the oppor-
tunity of providing them with education ? Oh, they
will tell you, with tears in their eyes, that the fault is not
theirs. They have the same solicitude for their children's
welfare that they ever had, but they cannot consent to
receive education at the expense of the religion of the
bible ;—and, but let it not be told in Gath, that the pro-
testant bible is excluded, or rather extruded from the na-
tional schools of Liverpool!! Perhaps we shall not be
believed when we add, the melancholy truth, that with
this rejection of the protestant bible, that first fruit of its
holy influence is also departed—prayer. Departed! no,
it is banished. This first leading of the infant mind.to
God is forbidden. But for the honour or the disgrace of
our town let this sealing or this redeeming testimony be
added. These things were not always so. Before the
spirit of popery and unitarianistn was infused into our
councils, the pure, the entire bible was the fountain of
religious instruction, and thousands drank of the refresh-
ing waters of inspiration. The spiritual spring has been
since contracted, and the applicants for admission (though
this is called a national institution, and exists in a protest-
ant country) are not protestants, but catholics. In one
school, out of 835 pupils, there are but 95 protestant
children, whilst all the rest, amounting to 740, are the
children of papists ! ! Is there any wonder why the pro-
testant bible is forbidden ? Would it not rather be a
wonder if it were admitted ?

Whilst we lament over this loss to the protestant rising
generation, (to many irreparable,) and deplore the un-
hallowed cause of it, we cannot help admiring and com-
mending the firm and conscientious principle of those
parents who have determined, though with so great a
sacrifice, "to choose the good and refuse the evil."
One cheering indication still points to happier days.
In the four wards most proximate to the national schools,.
viz., Scotland, Vauxhall, Pitt-street, and Great George-
street, conservative influence, that a year ago was at a
low ebb, is now swelling with a full tide. In every one
of these wards the late election has to record decided ma-
jorities in favour of conservative principles. In 1835
every one of these turned the scale in favour of radical-
ism. Has this corruption of school government not ef-
fected something ? But every ward is implicated in the
question—" He who allows oppression shares the crime."
It is our duty to place the subject before you—it is your
duty to act with decision, and if you be remiss in your
endeavours to restore the protestant character to the na-
tional schools, it will not be easy to exonerate yourselves
from guilt.

We have but little space, and less inclination, to
render " railing for railing," or we should have no diffi-
culty in replying to the vituperation of Mr. Hope. We
had received documentary evidence of facts—we publish-
ed those facts, with such comments as they naturally
elicited but, assuredly, without any of that malignant
feeling so uncharitably ascribed to us. We value the
purity of our character, and hope never to soil it by
personal slander. Where we see injustice, we shall
fearlessly expose it ; but it will ever be with that candour
which marks rectitude of intention.

By an advertisement in our last paper it will be sees
that Liverpool is about to be gratified with a protestant
meeting. We shall never forget the eloquence of one
of those meetings at Exeter-hall, London. Its thrills
have scarcely subsided, though more than a year has
passed over the first impression.
They originated in the ascendant aspect of PapacY-.
Political concessions had removed the weight which;
pressed down the spring of Papal revenge, arid that un-
changing spirit has given abundant proof that it had lot:
nothing of its energy. To the shame of protestant
Britain, let it be proelaimed that almost every ne"r
moon for the last two years has shone upon a new
Catholic chapel. Schools and colleges are springing up
in every direction, and the " powers of darkness" were
never more successfully, though insidiously, at work
than at present. If we love the altars at which our fore-
fathers worshipped—if we love " the good news of great
joy" which was to be " to all people," let us attest our.
zeal by giving our countenance to the approaching
meeting.

On Saturday evening Mr. Addams delivered the eie,lith lecture of
thtecoUrse, and, notwithstanding the inclemency of the evening, his
audience was large.
We are obliged to exercise our reason in conjunction with our
digit in order to arrive at eheerue relations of an object in size and
distance, otherwise we should be greatly deceived ; the moon, for in-
,,steeee, dot's not appear to be larger than 'a piece of 'circular paper a
foot in diameter, yet we know this is by no means her magnitude.
Cohen we see a body associating with _others in the neighbourhood,
84°1'9'S a horse in the neighbourhood•of a house, or a house in the
neighbourhood of other houses With trees beyond, we are enrilited to
judge of the magnitude of the house better than we should be were
r24'fb irr;r it insulated and alone: Generally 'speaking, our notions of
the magnitude of bodies will he regulated by the angles which the ex-
tremes of the bodies will subtend. But this is not all ; for if We were
to take a disc of paper and hold it at a certain distance from the eye,
it will cover a hundred *houses placed at the distance of a mile, so
that we judge of a body partly by the angle it subtends, end partly by
knoeving that a certain space intervenes between us and it. There is
another circumstance which will give us some idea of the magnitude
of a body—namely, the mnecular motion of the- eye. We find that,
the angle subtended by bodies is inversely with the eistance. The
degree of illumination of a surface will influence very much our no-
tion of its magnitude and distance ; it is very well known that a snow
clad hill looks nearer to us than one covered with verdure. It receives
the light of-the sun and reflects a portion of it into the eye. If an
artist represents a globe he makes its centre light and gradually dar-
kens the remainder towards the circular edge, and the reverse if he
iS drawing the concave appearance of a basin, &c. If we see any
objects through a fog thi.y appear unnaturally distended. This arises
from our misconception of their distance, and our deeming them fur-
ther off than they really are. This is taken advantage of in eheatricai
representations. ganze • screens being stretched across the stage to
keep off the light and convey an idea of distance.
We do not all of us see objects either of the same colour or of the
same size, but our ideas as to size are similar, because we see different
objects lir the same relative proportions to each other. It is by no
means improbable that a sparrow sees things larger Oran we do, and
that it grain of mustard seed would seem to it as large as a globe a loot
in diameter. With regard to colours, some persons cannot determine
them at all. A gentleman of Mr. Addams's acquaintance could not
tell the difference between bright scarlet and green. Dr. Dalton, of
Manchester, is afflicted with a similar kind of vision ; he is not able
to examine the colour of chemical precipitates, but on occasions of
great delicacy is obliged to call in his apprentices to give him the re-
quisite information: A story is told of his purchasing a pair of scar-
let stockings instead of drab ones. Some persons see the apparitions
of objects when their eyes are closed, although wide awake at the
time. Mr. Addams instanced several individuals so circumstanced,
amongst others a gent!, lan residing at Hull, to whom the most terri-
ble:and hideous fume: ?eared the moment he lay down in bed and
closed his eyes. The only mode of accounting for these waking vi-
jeees.is by supposing them to he caused by the action of a blood vessel
neon the retina so as to put it into a state of vibration.
Weare-deceived almost daily with regard to the images of bodies,
seeing the, resernblence of things in a direction where the real objects
belonging to these, resemblances are not. For instance, when be-
ll (riding our iinage in a looking-glass we would imagine that some
one was placed 'behind the glass, did not reason tell us different.
'When a looking-glass is first shown to a monkey, and even to a sa-
vage, they look behind it to see whether any being is there. The
Imagealways. seems it an 'equal diStance on the opposite side of a
looking-glass to that at which we are from the glass, and in a straight
direction. This-will apply to the drawing of landscapes in which a
sheet of water occurs, as by this rule is is very easy for us to deter-
Mine the length of shadow which any tall objeet near the water
ought to cast upon its surface. All we have to do is to draw a perpen-
dicular line from. the base of 'the object into the water equal in length
to the object itself, and then the point where a straight line carried
from the eye will cut the water in its passage to the lowest portion of
'the perpendicular line will show how far the- shadow of the ob-
ject should project into the water.
If the axis be true in both eyes, they will both of them form a focus
at the same point, and every thing placed there will appear as one ;
but if the axis of the eye be distorted, two bodies will be seen. This
will readily be illustrated by pushing either eye on one side, when
we shall see two bodies where we previously only saw one. Again,
if we look at our finger when placed near the nose, we see objects
doubled at a greater distance ; in this instance the angle described by
each eye is different from the focal angle of the objects we see dou-
ble& If a wafer be put upon a slip of card board, and the card board
be placed near the eye, the wafer will appear to separate into two.
We may see three images by having two wafers put at the distance of
21 inches upon a piece of card board 7 or 8 inches in length if the end
of the card is placed near the side of the temple, so that we may look
at the card board with both eyes open. The first wafer beeomes dou-
ble owing to the oblique vision compelling the eyes to shift their axis
into a very inconvenient position. We are not unfrequently deceived
in looking over an expanse of level water, and suppose that the water
rises up an inclined plane as it recedes from us. This we know is
not the case, but on the contrary it dips down in a trifling degree the
contrary way. This circumstance depends upon the different mag-
nitude of the angle subtended by the portion of the water that is near
to that which is far off. If a line be drawn from the eye to the water
that is at our feet, it will ascend as we carry it to the extreme distance
of the water; and as the eye ascends in following the line it appears to
us that the water itself rises. If we stand at one end of a long gal-
.. lery the floor will appear to ascend in the distance for the same rea-
son, and when it reaches the level of a line drawn horizontally from
,the eye, called the point of sight, both these lines become united, and
become what' is called the vanishing point. A knowledge of this
o:principle enables artists to represent nature in perspective with the
"t; utmost accuracy and truth. Some curious toys are constructed on
this principle, namely, that when we look along a flat plane, the sur-
face appears contracted in every direction as it is at a_greater distance
St from' the eye. Coloured representations of objects are painted on
`ll:rillkicry,...lp; in every part as they recede, from the end to which
lc the spectator applies his eye, when the receding parts being fore-
shortened, a natural appearance of the object is presented to the eye.
e, 'This shows us why in looking at a picture the eye should always
tifstrike its plane, and that is the reason pictures hung up at any height
id, are always placed in a sloping position, so that the eye may always
'fall upon them at right angles. 'The eyes of a portrait often appear
""1 to look ate' person in whatever part of the room he may be, and
tsr some persons are so ignorant as to say, it is a ('cry good picture be-
-I:7c:ruse the eye always looks at the viewer; but we find that the direc-
tion of the eyes is caused by the direction of the rest of the face.
"Thus; if-the nose and mouth should he in one direction and the eyes
ee Id a contrary one, everybody will think that the eyes are looking at
butyfhen both the eyes and the rest of the face are turned in
the same direction, they appear to look at any person but the viewer.
This Mr. Addams illustrated by a representation of the human face,
'2llre lower pait of whichreould be altered at pleasure, and the direc-
-'ition of the eyes was shown to depend upon that of the lower portion
of, the face., He also exhibited the drawing of a cannon, which ap-
peared in like manner to he pointed at every observer in whatever
pesitiOn it Was placed. Our experience will enable us'to comprehend
the rename; of this. We know that it we stand before the mouth of a
cannon-mounted upon an axle and wheels, that we see the rims of
the wheels and the circular mouth of the cannon, but not the sides of
'the wheels ; correereiently the cannon, being thus represented, ap-
' pews side to be directed towards us. In a work which has just
been brought out in Paris we have representations of the Elgin mar-
bles, in which the figures of horses and men appear to be in high re-
lief, standing- up above the paper when the print is viewed in one di-
reetion, and to sink in like a. die when viewed in a contrary direc-
tion. This is effected by the management of light and shade. The
engravings are executed by a machine, with curved lines.
'Some of tire optical deceptions to which the eye is exposed are oc-
casioned in part by the duration of the impression of a certain por-
tion of light upon the retina for a certain time ; that is to say, if a
candle were to be extinguished it would appear to be lighted for a
short time after the operation of extinguishing it took place. A star
in the heavens might be obliterated and we should see it for a short
• time after. Now a body may appear before the eye but a very tran-
sient period indeed and yet leave a very vivid idea of its likeness on
the mind. Mr. Roberts, of Manchester, constructed a wheel, with an
opening in it, which allowed an object to appear to the eye for a
-• -short period of time—the 30,1000 th part of a second—and yet it was
possible to distinguish the form, colour, size, &e. of the object in that
limited space. Mr. Addams exhibited this experiment, as well as
, another, to prove that the rays of light which fall upon the eye will
endure for some time when the object has vanished. A piece of card
board covered with white spots, of which four were in the centre and
thee•emainder disposed round its.edge, was made to traverse in a cir-
cular orhlt at the same time that it revolved upon its own axis ; the
consequence of this 'Was,- that the foUr central spots appeared as die-
gored lines shooting 'atross to each other at right angles, and the spots
. around the circumference described a number of beautiful curves.
For ought we know; there may be bodies of amazing size continually
enissing triand fro between us and the rem, for if they travelled at a
certain speed we should east be able to see them, and should sustain
no visible diminutioneefeighte Several toys are constructed on this
~ principle; in which, on ,lnlfing, through a small aperture, we see a
number of figures-hit active iriotion, he.. and a." Parrot being placed on
one side of a candle, and a- Parrot cage on the other, the bird appears
in the cage during theleniek revolution of the card. A. number of
very.beautiiul and carious phenomena are caused by the superposi-
tion,of one.half of two revolving wheels going with i apidity in diffe-
rent directions, the cause of which Mr. Addams explained. The phe-
nomenon was brought under Dr. FarradY's • notice by- -a gentleman
• who observed that whilst a pair.of cog wheels were. travelling in op-
posite directions, the cogs appeared to remain stationary. This lec-
ture was illustrated throughout with beautiful and appropriate appa-
ratus and diagrams, by which the above remarks as well as many that
we have been'cernpelled to omit, lest they should be misunderstood,
were rendered clear and intelligible.
...Pis Wednesday evening Mr. Addams continued.
• The, light and dark streaks which are to be perceived in rays of
light are occasioned by the interference of undulm, the light ones be-
"tegehe result of the united waves, and the dark ones that of their op-
t:Position, whereby the light is destroyed. This was beautifully illus-
eo,treted by means of a glass cistern of water illuminated from beneath
" by a lamp ; two series 'of waves were simultaneously formed in the
' 'cistern with two balls, and. the streaks exhibited on a transparent
`llee•seeeee pewee above the water. Double refraction is caused by all
:410 „crystalline bodies, when loOked through in a certain position, in ano-
_ ere ther po'sit'ion only one body is to be seen. It is accounted for by some
a Philosophers by supposing the molecules of the crystals and the ether
'LY :filling up their intervals, to have different refractive powers so as to
• form a double image.
The polarization of light is a phenomenon caused by the transmis-
sion of light 'in such a manner as to cause its total absorption or de-
struction. Suppose we take a plane piece of glass and reflect light
4,,, from it upon another piece of glass at an angle of about 60 degrees.
s,l6;.kf:the second glass is turned, although the angle be the same, the light
• fs polarized or destroyed, but if a piece of mica be interposed between
ode; theglasses the light is again visible. Mr. Addams then exhibited and
to eedeecribed the various kinds of polaroscopes in use, as well as the po-
Zee larizing and depolarizing axes of crystals, terminating his lecture with
z;tan exhibition of coloured rings and other figures by polarized light.
se/
To-morrow evening, Mr. Addams terminates his course, and will
``"treat upon colours—opacity and transparency—absorption of light—
I;c: fixed lines of the solar and nitrous acid gas spectra—theories of co-
l° lourific phenomena—colouring of thin plates—Newtonian rings—re-
-be" sultant colours and complimentary tints—homogenous light—mono-
eliie chromatic lamp.

TTING.—On Tuesday, at the Pollee-office, a respectable-
looking inau was charged by luepector Cottain with having
been drunk and very disorderiy in the streets she night before'.
The inspector said, that, not satisfied with cursing the whole
body. of the police, he had called hits " a prig, and such like," in
particular. He accordingly told hint, if he would not put alock
ou his mouth, and cease such expressions, he (the inspector)
would put a substantial dock on hint. l'ltreats being of no avail,
he was obliged to resort to the vi et ariites, and aitig the de-
fendant a prisoner to Bridewell. Not liking to drag him along
the streets, as he was a respectable-looking man, he let hint
walk nefore 'aim; but when lie got opposite the Bridewell-door,
he "cut." (Laughter.) Defendant : " For elite, I was like."
(Continued laughter.) He was mulcted. iu the usual fine of
topers and discharged.
SHOPLIFTING.-0n Tuesday, at the Police-office, Ann Ri-
chardson was charged with having stolen certain waistcoat-
pieces from Charles beat, tailor and draper, Paradise-street.
John Newton Gleister, shopinan with the above, stated that on
the preceding evening, at ten minutes past five o'clock, the
prisoner entered the shop, and requested to be shown some ca-'
lico. She ordered him to cut off a small quantity. There were
some waistcoat-pieces on the counter which had just been shown
to another person. , As lie turned his back to get a measuring
-stick, the prisoner snatched up the waistcoat-pieces and darted
:out of the shop. He missed them immediately, and ran out in
pursuit of her. He overtook her in a few minutes, and saw the
goods under her arm. He seized her, but she struggled so vio-
lently that she broke from him. He pursued 'her into Church-
st, eel, when she was stopped bypolicesoffieer Shaughnessy, who
found the property in her possession, The prisoner was coot-
'flitted for trial.-
EXTENSIVE ROBBERY.—On Tuesday, at the Police-office,
Matilda Hunt was charged before the magistrates with having
been concerned in the robbery of Mrs.. Sarah Price, wife of
William Price, butcher, 'Cleveland-square, of a large sum of
mohey-in notes and sovereigns. Mrs. Price stated that at noon
on Tuesday last she had placed a Bank of England note for
£5O, two ditto for £2O each, and 'a number ,of £lO and £5
notes, to the amount of £145, with two sovereigns, in her purse,
the notes in one end and the sovereigns in the other. At three
o'clock on that, day she left home, having previously examined
her purse and seen that all was correct. She went to a house
.in Fraser-street, Islington, where she remained till ten o'clock,
when her husband called for her and accompanied her home.
She went to her bed room and immediately missed her purse.
She ran back to Isling,tim and searched the house of her friend,
thinking that she might have dropped it there, but she could
not find it.. She gave information at the police-office, describ-
ing the bills, which were - marked with her husband's initials.
Richard Worsley, shopman with Mr. Greasier, Great Charlotte-
street, stated'that he had received a bill describing the robbery
from the police-office. At twelve o'clock en Saturday, the
prisoner came there and purchased some lutestrings and other
articles which amounted to £3 6s. 71d. She took out two
sovereigns and dome silver, but, finding that she had not
enough to pay the bill with, she tendered a £5. Witness took
it to the other end of the shOp, and, on looking over the notice
which he had received from. the police-office, lie found it hed the
initials of Mr. Price urns it, in the situation described. Mr.
and Mrs. Price both Identified the note. When the witness
Worsley asked the prisoner where she had got the note, she
said a gentleman had given it to her. She was searched at
Bridewell, but the two sovereigns were not found. When ask-
ed what site had done with them, she teplied that she had not
any sovereigns. On her way to Bridewell she informed James
Ainsworth, constable, that she had found the note in Bold-
street. Ainsworth asked her where she lived, and she gave
him a false direction. He, however, found, on inquiry, thatshe
had been living for some time past with a man, at the Sham-
rock Tavern, its James-street. The prisoner was committed for
trial.
hOBBERY UNDER SINGULAR CIRCUMSTANCES.—On Tuesday
Ainericus Salisbury and Henry Warren were brought up at the
Police-court, having been remanded since Saturday last, charged
with the commission of a felony, under the following circuit'.
stances.—Edmund Simmonds deposed that he was a merchant.
His warehouse was situated near the Old Custom-house, and was
three stories high. The middle floor he occupied himself, the
ground floor and cellar he let off to Mr. Lucas, wine-merchant,
and the upper floor to Mr. Salisbury, sailinaker, who had occu-
pied it for the last twelve months. During the last six months
he had missed various articles of property of different descrip-
tions. There was a common stair through the warehouse to the
top room. On Friday, the 23d September, he (witness) had
purchased from Messrs. Currie, Wilson, and Co., a box contain-
ing fifty pieces of muslin, which were placed in his counting-
house. .'The latter was partitioned off from the warehouse room,
from which it was entered by a door, which was never locked.
The lid of the box was taken off, and it was left open. About
a fortnight ago a gentleman' called to look at the tnuslins, when
witness saw that they were all right. On Wednesday last he
sold the muslins, and told the purchaser to count th&n before
he took them away. The gentleman complied, and counted
only forty-one pieces, which Mr. Simmonds, to his surprise,
found was all that remained out of fifty which he had purchased.
In consequence of this, witness went up stairs to Mr. Salisbury's
room. He found Mr. Salisbury there, and also the two priso-
ners. He said to Mr. Salisbury, in the hearing of the two latter,
that he had lost some more goods, and would like, if Mr. Salis-
bury would permit him, to look among the sails, &c., in his
room. Mr. Salisbury acquiesced, and assisted him in the search.
In one corner of the room stood an old sofa with its back from
the wall. It was covered with old mats and lumber of various
descriptions. Mr. Salisbury and he began to remove the things,
from this, and had proceeded but a short time when the former
pulled ont two bottles of wine exclaiming--" What is here?"
On searching further they found upwards of thirty bottles of
wine. Witness went down and sent for Mr. Lucas end f'r a
police officer. He Proceeded up stairs with the latter, and asked
the prisoners where they had got the wine from?-One of them
said that be had got it about a month before from the mate of
the Vigilant from Surat. The other said this was correct. Mr.
Salisbury who was standing near said, " It was not here yester-
day." Witness gave thgrisoners into custody. He then went
`and examined his own warehouse-room. On trying the ceiling
with his stick, some of the boards in one corner yielded to the
pressure, and were raised up. He then went down accompanied
by the policeman to the wine bins underneath, and on examina-
tion he found that a trap door opened from .the vault into his
office. About three or four inches of the partition which sepa-
rated his office trim the Warehouse room rests upon this trap
door, and that part ot the-latter had been broken by its being
opened. Witness had occupied the warehouse for above eighteen
years but had never been aware of the trap door. He examined
the hole that had been made in the floor of Mr. Salisbury's
warehouse and found that other ho irds had been placed over
.it, and that it was large enough to admit a man through it. His
room was seven feet. high, and had no plaister on th- ceiling.
Witness went round with a police officer to several pawnbrokers,
and at the shop of Mr. Cohen, in Paradise-street, he foundaine
piece of muslin which he knew to be one of those which had
been taken from the box above mentioned. Police officer Juhn
Hailes corroborated those portions of the above statement in
which he is alluded to. He further stated that he had made
further inquiry among the pawnbrokers, and had found three
other nieces of muslin which had been pledged recently at three
different shops. Mr. Simmonds identified these also as his pro-
perty. Mr. •Heury.Colien, Mary Wilson, John Woolley, and
WWilliam Galway, all pawnbrokers, or their assistants, identified
the prisoner Watren, as the person who had pledged the pieces
of muslin with them. The evidence as regards the robbery from
Mr. Simmonds is complete.
On Wednesday this ease was further gone into. Mr. Henry
Walker Lucas d9sosed to his father being a wine-merchant,
and to his occupying the cellar and ground floor of Mr. Simonds'
warehouse in Canning-place. On Friday he was sent for by
Mr. Simonds to the warehouse, and on going into his sale-room
he was shown 35 bottles of wine. Salisbury said they had got
the wine from the mate of the Vigilant, and that it had been
smuggled. In consequence of seeing this wine, he went down
into their wine bin to examine their stock. According to their
books, there ought to be 206 dozen and three bottles in their
bin. Two of the bottles found had the word " Lisbon" on the
seal of the corks, which was their seal, and he had no doubt
whatever but they were his father's property. Mr. J. C. Hill,
the clerk of Mr. Lucas, had on the 25th of October, in accord-
ance with directions he had received, counted the wine in the
bin, and found only 161 dozen and four bottles. He had ex-
amined the bottles found, and he had no doubt whatever hut
they were the property of his employers. The prisoner War-
ren, in defoagc,-said that about the middle of September last he
hoisted a sail'by the jigger, and under some straw in the jigger-
room
he found:seven pieces of print; afterwaids, on looking at
them, he founstone of the pieces gone. No inquiry was made
about them, or he should have told about them. The prisoners
were committed to take their trial.
COWARDLY AND BRUTAL ASSAULT.—On Wednesday, at the
Police-office, a cadaverous-looking Irishman was placed before
the magistrates charged with R most cowardly and brutal as-
sault.
A gentleman deposed that he was passing up Crosbie-
street the afternoon before when he saw two men fighting; he
looked about. to see if any policeman was near to separate them,
but seeing none he went up and separated them himself. Af-
ter he had get the men separated, the prisoner went deliberately
behind a man who had been looking on, and struck him a vio-
lent blow apparently with his fist on the side of the neck, and
the man fell as if dead. The priioner then as deliberately
walked away. He, (witness) followed him and watched him,
and shortly he met a man in the street, and asked him if he
would assist him to take the prisoner into custody. The man
replied, "No, they are .only a parcel of Irishmen;" to which
witness replied that he too was an Irishman, but he saw no rea-
son because of that that a man should be allowed to murder
another. Shortly after a policeman came up, and he gave the
prisoner into custody. The man the prisonerstruck had not been
fighting with him at all. Butter, the inspector, said he .had
been' to see the man who was:struck,, and found him very- much
injured; his skull was
ofractured,.and he was in great danger.
Mr. Hall said very great credit was due to the gentleman pre-
ferring the charge, far his interference. His information was
ordered to be taken, and the prisoner was sent back till the evi-
dence of the injured man can 'be gone into.
BituTAr. ASSAULT.—On Wednesday, at the police-office, a
dirty cadavereueslooking .young man, named Henry Mercer,
was placed before the magistrates charged with having com-
mitted a most brutal assault on his mother. The mother ap-
peared with her face bruised in a. most dreadful way, with
scarcely a feature distinguishable. The father of the prisoner
then stated that the day before his son, who he was sorry should
be a son of his, "such a transgress as he was," came to their
house, and began abusing and striking his mother. She called
witness down stairs, and he endeaseured to protect her, when
he began at witness " like on a day's work," and threatened his
life, swearing he would murder him, and beat hint also severely.
The complainant then deposed to similar facts; that the pri-
soner began beating her with his fist, like knocking down a bul-
lock. He first came into the house with a child of his in his
arms, and something appeared to have vexed him, and he began
" vasperating and crabbing, against her," and. at length beat
and abused her in a most dreadful manner, and she had lost be-
tween a pint and a quart of blood in consequence, and had had
to have leeches applied to her face. The prisoner. said, in de-
fence, that he was drunk at the time, and did not remember
anything about it. This was, howeyer, denied by the police-
man, who took him into custody oh hearing the, noise in the
house. Mr. Hall severely reprimanded him on the brutality of,
his conduct, and fined him £5 and costs, in default to go fur two
months to the Borough Gaol;' and further, to find bail.
ASSAULT.—Oa Wednesday, at the police-oflice, a stout, fresh-
looking Irishwoman, named Ann Platt, appeared before the
magistrate to complain that a grievous "'assault and battery"
had'been committed upon her by a countryman of her's, named
Geo. Neale. The complainant,• addressing the magistrates,
said, "Place yer worships, on Saturdhay night wos tree days, 1
met dhis man in London-rod, an' he lives nabur to me, so .sis
he widout sayin' anythin' he latocks me down, an I fell on me

ant put himself in an attitude of defant,:e, and then addressing
the magistrates, said, " I begs pardon, yer boners, but no sich a

INHUMAN BARBARITY OF A MOTHER.—Yesterday, at the
Police-office, an interesting-looking child about 8 or 10 years of
age, named Ellen Alcock, and who presented an appearance
of being much neglected, being dressed in filthy rags, and very
dirty, was placed at the bar charged by one of the constables of
St. Martin's Market, with having conarnited petty thefts in the
market. The policeman stated that it w..., his belief the child
was forted_to• it by its • mother; and its ~ack was striped with
severe beating from top to bottom, in a most shameful manner.
A respectibte looking woman named Gibson here stepped .for-
watd, and said she lived neighbour to the mother of the child,
and the manner she had seen it treated was most disgraceful ;
she had seen the mother heat it with a cane till its back was one
mass of wreaths, she had seen her burn her, and hold her by the
heels with her head in a tub of water, and she herself was
living with a man iu the house whilst her husband was out.
The child too she had had before she was married. Mr. Hall
here ordered the child to be turned round, and its back pre-
sented a most dreadful spectacle, being red wreaths from top
to bottom; one side of its face too, was seared with a severe born.
The mother of the prisoner, quite a young woman, here
stepped forward, and exhibiting a birch rod, said, " this was the
very thing 1 beat her with, I bought it on purpose, and 1 beat
her for stealing a penny cake."
The witness said the child was taught to steal ; she had told
its father, who was a butcher, and lived out of town, id its treat-
ment, and he had promised to take the child; he made an al-
lowance to mother for its keep.
Mr. Hall said the mother's conduct was disgraceful. From
the evidence, she had heat the child, she had burnt her, she had
held her in a tub of water, and tied her to the bed-stock.
The mother denied this, and behaved in such an unfeeling
manner that Mr. Hall ordered her to be placed in the dock,
which appeared to have a softening effect. upon her. On its
appearing that the mother was a housekeeper, she was liberated
on her promise to attend to-day, when the overseer is in attend-
ance, in order that the child may be placed in the workhouse.
On its being told to her that the child would be detained, she
squeezed out some hypocritical tears, and falling on her knees
in the dock entreated that she might take the child with her. •
Mr. Hall, "Oh dear, no; certainly not.;- I shall see the
overseer, and get her put into the workhouse." The unfeeling
wretch then left the court.
A PRETTY COUFLE.—Yesterday, at the police-office, a goad-
looking
female, named Mary
.Eaton, stood up to complain
against another female, named Elizabeth Crutchley, to whom
nature had dealt female charms with a most sparing hand, for
having, as she stated, broken the windows of her house the day
before. 'l6e complainant said that the prisoner bad come to
her house, and created a great disturbance outside, and because
she would not let her in she commenced breaking her windows,
Prisoner.—" Why your worship she lives with my husband
as
is separated front- me, and because he's stopped his 'lowacce to

1, if he keeps you he's like to keep me.' That's all I said ;
and I only

plainant.—" Why, she'd need talk, she's in the family way of
her second since she.left her husband." Mr. Hall.—" Wecl,. if
she is so, you have taken the husband." Complairiantdrop-
ping a Curtsey )—" Oh, no, sir, I'm his housekeeper." Pa-
sower.—" Why, sir, there's only two beds in the house, and his
two brothers sleeps iu one bed, and she and him sleeps in t'other.
All I did was to go and ax civily what was the reason they
'stopped my supplies.' ." Mr. Hall.—" One seems as bad a...,
the other..-Will you promise not to go and create a disturbance
against -I let you;.. go Prisoner.—" Oh yes; thank yer ho-
nour." The prisoner was then discharged,: , . •
A DELICATE F.Emai.e.—Yesterday, at the police-office, a
respectable-looking female, named Alice Yates, having the ap7
pearance of a respectable mechanic's-wife, appeared to com-
plain before the magistrates against-another female who was in
custody, and who was also very decently dressed, for getting
drunk and abusing her- continually. The complainant stated
that the prisoner w'as continually getting drunk, and when so,
she was in the-habit'of coming and creating a disturbance in
the street before her door. Prisoner.—" Oh you woman.; please -
your worships that person has illified my character in difficult
circumstances, and says I am a common prostitutioner. I defy
her to say anything against my character. barring I gets a lit-
tle drink nows and then; if she can—let her. (Laughter.) I
made a confidant of her, and told her a few frivolous things, and
that's all she can say agaiest me: (Continued laughter.) - And
yer worships, my husband has come home yesterday, and she
has-done this to prevent my living with him." Mr. Hall.—
In what state was she, officer, when you took her into custody ?"
Constable." Back Portland-street, sir." ' (Loud laughter.)
Mr. Hall.—" In what state was she ?" Constable.—" Oh; very
drunk." Complainant.—" As soon as ever she gets out she
will do the same again." Prisoner,-"There's a woman for a
neighbour!" (Laughter.) Mr. Hall.—" I shall tine yeti ss.
for being drunk." 'rhe prisoner giving a most colloquial nod.
at the complainant, as she was being removed, said, "thank
'ou; Mary."

Ste,—As the question has frequently been asked, " why Mr.
Wright lost his election for St. Ann's Word ?" the committee
for conducting the election of that gentleman think themselves
called upon to give a distinct answer to it—and as facts always
carry with them more conviction than bare assertions, the com-
mittee beg leave to lay before the public the following state-
ment of fact :
Out of ten persons who signed the requisition to Mr. Wright,
requesting him to allow himself to be put in nomination as
Councillor for St. Ann's Ward, three of that number, regardless
of this pledge, and reckless of all consistency, voted for his
Radical opponent; and the remaining seven never voted at all!!
One of the latter ❑umber has atteinpted to give some colour to
his refusal to support Mr. Wright, declaring that he was not, at
the time he signed the requisition, acquainted with Mr. Wright's
political principles. But, surely, this was as valid a reason for
not signing the requisition to Mr. Wright as for not voting for
him. Out of this dilemma we-must leave this gentleman to
shstifie himself as ingeniously as he can. But, when it is added,
that the individual referred to has resided in Liverpool for
twenty years,•it will appear somewhat strange that he should so
long have remained ignorant of Mr. Wright's political cha-
racter.
In addition to the andve ten worthies (though the committee
do not desire to see such worth multiplied) the committee beg
to state, that the pledges of twenty-three independent burgesses
were, fur unexplained reasons, never reieemed. The committee
have thought it proper to bring these facts before the public, in
order satisfactorily to explain to those burgesses who supported'
Mr. Wright, the real cause why that gentleman was not placed
in the Town Council. One fact, connected with the election,
they cannot conceal, because it is encouraging to the minds of
Conservatives, and says to all the membors—persevere. Sixty
voters were polled at the present election more than at the pre-
ceding; and fifty votes were registered for the Conservative
interest above the number given at the election of 1835, thus
exhibiting in this Ward an increase in Conservative voters
over those of Radicals of five to one.

REV. M. O'SULLIVAN AND MR. O'CONNENL.

• TO TIIE EDITOR OF THE SCOTSMAN.
Killyman Rectory, May, Oct. 27, 1836.
SIR,—You have given insertion to a letter from Mr. O'Con-
nell, which contains the following pap:tures:—
"The Morning Chronicle, which reached me this day, of the
date of the 10th instant, contains an extract from a Scotch pa-

per, giving a report of a speech of a :atrson who styles himself
the Kev. Mortimer O'Sullivan. in tnat speech there is the fol-

lowing passage :
" Remember that this is Mr. O'Connell's account—that it is

essential to the Catholic faith to believe it right to murder or to

break faith with heretics.' •
"'That passage, then, I proclaim to be in all its parts totally
false. It is false that I ever gave any such account, neither did
1 ever say or do anything to qualify or palliate the attributing
it to me.
" Let me conclude with offering this test. This Mr. O'Sul-
livan says, 'This is Mr. O'Connell's account ?' When? Where?
Now did Mx._O'Connell give that account, or say anything to
countenance the assertion ? Let him n uswer that question.
" If he do not answer it, be thereby admits that he is a ca-
lumniator and propagator of falsehnod2 It he do answer it, I
will have the means of" proving him such."
Such is Mr. O'Connell's charge against me, and such his de-
mand. As von have published them in your journal, I will not
allow myself to doubt your willingness to admit my answer also.
The passage in the repot of my speech, of which Mr. O'Con-
nell 'quoted a mutilated extract, is as follows:
, " I have said that the Church of Home, when she wanted to
corrupt the minds of the English people, sent into England
God's Holy Gospel to teach that lesson which God's enemy is
ever endeavouring to teach—to teach the principle (and re-
member that this is Mr.(YConnell's account) that it is essential
to the catholic faith to believe it light to murder or break faith
I with heretics."
Such is the passage from which Mr. O'Connell's extract has
been quoted. It contains a reference to very grave charges
against the Church of Rome,-and names Mr. O'Connell as a
witness, by whom they are corroborated; I proceed to show on
what authority. The charges which I preferred against the
Church of Rome on account of the publication of the Blemish
Testament were two-
-Ist. That the notes appended to it were intended to excite dis-
affection iu England.
2d. That they were calculated to teach perfidy and intole-
rance.
Mr. O'Connell has testified to the truth of both. I cite the
. acknowledgments contained in the Dublin Review, of which bo
is avowedly an editor.
The first charge is thus confirmed—
"The notes of the New Testament were undoubtedly in-
tended to prepare the public mind for the invasion meditated by
Philip 11., when he projected the schemes of his armada. They
were in unison with the celebrated sentence and declaration of
Pope Sextus Quintus, which designated Elizabeth as an illegi-
timate daughter of Henry Vlll.—as an usurper and unjust
ruler, who ought to be deposed—and as a heretic and schisma-
tic, whom it was not only lawful, but commendable to destroy."
—Dublin Review, edited by the Very Rev. N. Wiseman, D.
O'Connell, and M. J. Quin,'Esq. No. -IL, p, 505.
So 'ouch for the design of the lthmmish notes. 'What is their
character?
To this question we have, also, Mr. O'Connell's answer, con-
- firming the second accusation against his church. "The topic
of the Itheimish notes was incidentally brought under their
(Catholic Board's) consideration by Mr. O'Connell, on the 3d
of December," (1817 1 when he is reported by the Dublin Even-
ing Post to have spoken of these compositions iu the following
terms:—

DUCHY OF LANCASTER.—The two patent places of receivers
for the duchies of Cornwall and Lancaster, held by the late Sir
W. Knighton, have been conferred on Sir Henry Wheatley,
and Colonel Fox—the former being in the gift of her Majesty,
and the latter in that of Lord Holland.
SUDDEN DEATH.—On Friday a labourer, in the employ Of
Mr. Earle, was working in one of the upper rooms of a ware-
house belonging to that gentleman, in Lancelot's-hey. He was
left alone by his fellows for a few minutes; when they returned
they found him lying dead upon a hale of cotton. On a post
mortem examination of the body by Mr. Simpson, death was
found to have ensued from congestion of the lungs.
BODY FOUND.—On Saturday, an inquest was held before
James Hayes, Esq. county coroner, at North Meols. near
Soutliport, on the body of a Irian, name unknown. The deceased
had been washed ashore, and from the appearance of the body
there is reason to believe that he had been some weeks in the
water. He was about 5 feet 7 inches in heig
ht? and his linen
was marked with the initials "T. A. The jury returned a
verdict of " fonnd drowned."
The St. Mungo, Rhyl steamer, sailed from George's pier-head
on Saturday last, at half-past 10 in the morning, but owing to
the rough-state of the weather did not arrive at her destination
before one o'clock on Sunday afternoon. The captain very
prudently put back and anchored at Hoylake. She had on
board from 50 to 60 passengers, and rode 011 t the storm most
gallantly. r!,.! •
At a full assemblage of the Operative Ooniervative Associa-
tion at Manchester, it was resolved that Mr: Charles Wilkins
be respectfully requested to address that- numerous body upon
the leading principles of conservatism. We understand that I
the learned gentleman has acquiesced, and appointed the even-
ing of the 2d of December for that purpose, ,The following ad.°
ditional fact will tend to show in what esteem that gentlemany

The dinner of the Operative Conservative Asseciatiou at,'War,
, riugton, was fixed for the 10th of this month, but finding that
Vilkins's professional engagements would prevent his at-
tendance, to insure, his valuable aid, and to meet his conveni-
ence, the.dinner is postponed to the 29th, when we have not the
least doubt that- the Conservatives of Warrington will muster in

full strength. -
The Liverpool Protestant AssoCiation have fixed on Tuesdayd-
next, for their first anniversary meeting. The meeting is a
vertised to be held in the Amphitheatre, Great Charlotte-street,
and the Rev. R. J. M'Ghee, and the Rev. Mortimer O'Sullivan,
ate announced as expected to attend. From the well-known
talents of these gentleman, and others of the resident clergy,
the meeting is expected to create great, and unusual interest.
But, without their valuable aid, we feel well convinced that the
cause for which the meeting is convened, for the " maintenance
of Protestant principles, and the diffusion of Protestant infoi.-
illation," would draw together a firm phalanx of supporters,
such as has on more than one similar occasion addorned with
its thousands the spacious interior of the Amphitheatre.
UNWHOLESOME MEAT.—Yesterday, at the PaliCe-office, an
information was laid against John Cheers, butcher, for having.
exposed a large quantity of meat for sale, unfit for food. The
market leave-looker deposed that the day before, he found the
carcase of a beast weighing 3001b5., in the public slaughter-
house, exposed for sale, belonging to John Chears, butcher,
which was unfit for human food. The wife of the defendant
appeared, and complained that it was a heavy loss to them.
Mr. Hall really thought. that it would be useful to inflict very hea-
vy fines in these cases, whenever immense quantities of meat were
fiiund. The constable said the.husband had been very abusive
when they had seized the meat. Defendant's wife. Yes, he
was in a great passion at -its being seized, for it is a great loss.
He bought the beast alive, and it has turned out worse than was
expected.", Mr. Hall—" I must enforce, the law; it.is one of
the worst cases which has come before me." The defendant
was then fined 20s. and "costs.,

" He owed it to his religion, as a catholic and a christian—to
his country us an Irishman—to his feelings as a human being—
to utterly denounce the damnable doctrines contained in the
notes to the Rheimish Testament. He was a catholic upon
principle—a steadfast and sincere catholic, from a conviction
that it was the best form of religion ; but he would not remain
so one hour longer, if he thought it essential to the profession of
the cath lie faith to believe that it was lawful to murder pro-
testants, or that faith might be innocently broken with heretics.
Yet such were the doctrines laid (town in notes to the Rheimish
Testament.—Dublin Review, No. IL, p. SW.
Such is Mr. O'Connell's character of the Rheimish annota
tions. The result Of his unsuccessful effort to produce a dis-
claimer of them, might not uncharitably be adduced as indicating
the character of his church. The "Catholic Board" refused to
disavow them, adopting, as an amendment to Mr. O'Connell's
motion for a disclaimer, "That a committee be appointed to
prepare an address on the occasion of the re-publication of the
Rheimish notes, with a view to have the same submitted to an
aggregate meeting."—Dublin Eveniiiq Post, Dec. 6, 1817. The
Roman Catholic Bishops declined to disavow them, Dr. Troy,

tical brethren recomtneded them to their " subjects" in every
