said at Whitchurch ; let there be no exclusion for religions
opinion ; but let the principle stand also that the Church of
England shall be defended against these new legislators.
(Cheers.) If the mode they took, then, of seeuring the se-
cond part has proved a failure, what then ? Then they must
either remove the first or amend the second. (Cheers.) The
nation will not remove the -first. A government that at-
tempted it would be immediately hurled from the seat of
power ; the nation will not do it, and the government cannot
do it till the nation will. What, then, should be done ?,
Amend the second—(hear, hear)—and we call upon the
government to carry the bill of 1829 into " full and real
effect" in every one of its clauses. (Cheers.) We ask them
to carry it out honestly. They are carried out, and no doubt
will be carried out in that part which gives concession, and
all we ask of them is, that they will take the whole bill,
not parts of it only—(hear, hear)—that they will take the
pelt of the bill against Jesuits, that part of it against the
usurpation of Roman Catholic prelates—that part of it which
would confine John M'll ale for signing himself John Tuam,
and that part of it that opens parliament to members of the
church of Rome. (Hear.) Let us have the whole bill—
every part of it. (Cheers.) They will say we are madmen
for supporting the repeal of the emancipation bill: no sir,
we do not ask for that at present. We do not think it
possible that the nation would give it, and we should be
mad to urge upon government that which must drive them
from the seat of power, and open it to men ten thousand
times worse than they. (Hear.) We say carry the whole
bill ; you are enamoured of part of it, now be honest and
carry the whole of it. (Cheers.) If you will excuse one
short quotation more from a speech of your humble servant,
I will draw to a conclusion. Upon the matter of the in-
tolerant principles alluded to in the former quotation, I took
the liberty of using these expressions at a meeting in the
beginning of this year; and now that the political crisis
is past, I call attention to them We have been
before the public as detectors and exposers of a deep-
laid dangerous conspiracy against the state. We have
named the leading conspirators. We have got possession of
copies of their secret papers, and laid them before the pro-
per authorities. We have challenged them, by name, to
come forward and defend themselves against such high
charges. We have adduced evidence to prove, that in viola-
tion of their solemn oaths, they have been secretly circu-
lating amongst our fellow-countrymen manifestoes, procla-
mations, and laws of a foreign potentate utterly subversive
of the government and the established religion of England."
You have heard how the conspiracies of Romanism works in
those important statistical items of information given by my
reverend friend, Mr. Nolan :—" We have adduced evidence
to prove further, that some of our fellow-countrymen, under
the delusion that the said foreign potentate was their lawful
and true sovereign, have proceeded to act upon the procla-
mation and laws so circulated, to the defrauding endangering,
and, in some instances, assassinating the subjects of our
most gracious queen. These charges have not been vague in
themselves nor anonymous in their origin. No such plea
can be put forward to justify the silence of the parties
accused. Our accusations have been advanced openly and
boldly in our proper persons, and in the presence of assembled
thousands. They have been precise and pointed; they have
been reiterated. Still the accused parties have made no defence,
courted no investigation, adduced no counter evidence, and •
the effect, though slow, has been sure. Our speeches and
publications have told, and are telling, more, perhaps, than
many who are influenced by them are fully conscious of, or
willing to admit. The conspirators and their dupes have ai-
fected to despise us. Professing a wondrous attachment to
liberty, the Romish conspirators have obtained the zealous
but hood-winked co-operation of the liberal party, and have
been endeavouring to persuade themselves that the " no
Popery" party in the state is so small and contemptible, that
our agitation would produce no effect, and that consequently
their best policy was to pretend not to hear us, or to hear of us.
In this calculation they are beginning to perceive that they
are greatly mistaken. The Protestant feeling of the country
has been largely awakened. Many persons who did not see
their way to go so far as to join Protestant Associations, have
nevertheless associated themselves with Educational Societies
and Church Building Societies, and Pastoral Aid Societies ;
and the country is in an essentially different condition from
what it was ten years ago. !The electoral constituences of
many of our towns, great and small, have partaken of this
rescuscitation of protestantism and we confidently anticipate
a practical exhibition of a great amount of this change at the
approaching general election." (Hear, hear, and cheers.)
Here, again, I repeat the challenge. (Hear.) The names
of the leading conspirators against the religion, the liberties,
the properties, and the lives of the Protestants, are Dr.
Murray, popish archbishop in Dublin, Dr. M`Hale, popish
archbishop in Tuan, and Daniel O'Connell, Esq. (Hear,
hear.) The names of the witnesses ready to substantiate the
charge of conspiracy before parliament are, Dr. Mortimer
O'Sullivan, the Rev. Robert James MiGhee, and the right
hon. Lord Roden. Here, now, are the conspirators named,
the nature of the conspiracy exposed, the secret papers de-
tected, and laid before the authorities of the state ; the
evidence of Dens's Theology, with all its horrors being
circulated by the authority of these bishops in Ireland,
whilst they were denying it upon oath in England, is
now placed in both your Universities by Mr. M'Gliec ; it
is open to the inspection of all your leading scholars ; it is
open to an examination before a committee of your heredi-
tary legislators. The rev. gentleman proceeded to call for
this investigation, not for the sake of angry discussion, but
as a great judicial inquiry, in which a fair hearing should be
given to the case on both sides. He concluded his speech,
the latter part of which we are obliged to omit for want of
room, by a most eloquent comparison between the emancipa-
tion of slaves and the glorious gospel emancipation, which
our Roman Catholic fellow-subjects would enjoy if they
abandoned their errors, and embraced the truth as it is in
Christ.
The'resolution was then carried.

Mr. PARKER, in moving a vote of thanks, said he would
put the meeting in possession of the sentiments of Lord
Sandon and Mr. Cresswell upon the value of Protestantism,
as there seemed to have been some little misapprehension
upon the subject. (Hear, hear.) At a meeting in that very
place, on the 21st June last, Lord Sandon used the following
language :—" Let us have commercial England, nautical
England, colonising England, protestant England. (Most
enthusiastic cheering.) Let us support the church, such as
she was delivered to us by our ancestors, moral and religious,
without being superstitious. (Vehement applause.) As
such, we may endeavour to preserve her, and as such we
May bind ourselves soletnly to hand down to future genera-
tions. (Protracted cheering.) I see that your spirit is
awakened—l see that you are ready to do your duty ; set an
example to all England, and God grant that all England may
do its duty to you."
Mr. Creisweil, at the nomination of candidates a few days
afterwards, said :—" I have been abused here for having
alluded to your Protestant Church, and your Protestant
altar. (Hear, hear, and cheers.) I am not surprised, gentle-
men, that they should abuse me for it ; they had rather that
I had said something about them. (Hear, hear.) They
would, if possible, forget. and make you forget, the dis-
approbation with which their attack upon our Protestant
Church, our Protestant religion, and our Protestant educa-
tion were received, and they blame me, therefore, for still
holding them up to the feelings of dislike and disappointment
which they excited. (Loud cheers.) He trusted that this
explanation would be satisfactory to the meeting. (Cheers.)
A doxology was then sung, and the meeting separated at a
quarter to five, highly pleased with the proceedings.

THE RECTOR OF HEYSHAM.---We are most reluctantly
compelled, by the want of room, to withdraw our report of
this case, which terminated on Thursday evening in the
commissioners deciding that there was not sufficient evidence
to justify further proceedings.
The steam-ship Caledonia made the passage to Halifax in
four hours less than twelve days.
WEST INDIA LINE OF STEAMERS.—We understand that
government has fixed that the first of this new line of
steamers, one of which, the Forth, was built at Leith, shall
sail from Southampton on the 25th October.
DANCING.—We beg to draw the attention of families to
Mr. Harwood's advertisement which appears elsewhere.
His mode of teaching is excellent, and his style that which
is at once fashionable yet unostentatious.

We understand that Mr. Stonehouse's cheerful Masonic
song of " Prosper the Art," which has created some little,
conversation amongst the fraternity, will shortly be published
by Mr. J. A. Novello, London, who is one of the craft.
We believe there is already a goodly list of subscribers.
IMPROVEMENTS AT BIRKENHEAD FERRY.—Wearehappy
to see that the Corporation of Liverpool are making improve-
ments in the landing place at Birkenhead which will render
it one of the most commodious on that side of the Mersey.
A number of men are employed in removing the dilapidated
and useless pier, or erection, on the north side of the slip,
removing the rock below, so as to deepen the approach, and
carrying out the river wall, bounding the road to the hotel, a
considerable distance to the northward. When the works
are completed the steam-boats will be enabled, when the tide
is up, to be alongside the new wall, in a sheltered and conve-
nient position.

Mr. George Robins announces in our columns to-day the
sale of a " little principality," in the vicinity of Hereford
and Brecon, an estate approaching 6,300 acres of land, with
manorial rights extending over 20,000 acres. The castle of
Langoed is very ancient, and stands in need of beautifying ;
it is placed on the bank of the famed Wye; the shooting-box
is in the centee of the manors. The present rental is about
£4,300 a year, and the property within ten hours' ride of
London.—Morning Post.
Church preferment is evidently in the ascendant ; it was
fully and practically demonstrated yesterday. The Rectory
of slack Notley, about eleven miles from Chelmsford, (with
a snug parsonage house and glebe, with the commutation
upon the tithes, which has recently taken place, leaving a
clear income of 1100 a year,) was yesterday sold by Mr.
George Robins, at the Auction Mart, for 1,910 guineas. It
should be observed, the incumbent is a healthy young gentle-
man of 37, consequently, according to the tables, his life is
worth 30 years' purchase. if it be so taken, the interest
and compound interest will approach .£lO,OOO ; and it is
difficult to believe an advowson of 4100 a year in possession
would sell for so large a sum. We are led to this calculation
because we augur well from it ; no longer will it be stated,
"The Church is in danger." It is already another and a
gratifying instance of the growing confidence in "Sir Robert
Peel's Administration.''—Morning Post, Wednesday.
NEW MEDICINAL PLANT.—Dr. Jeffreys, of Liverpool,
has lately brought into use a plant called Matico, the Piper
angustifolium, as a styptic. It is much used in South Ame-
rica and Belgium, to stop the hemorrhage from small vessels,
leech-bites, or incised wounds. It may be applied in leaf,
or in fine powder. It is said also to be taken internally for
the same purpose, in form of infusion, in the proportions of
about half an ounce to a pint of boiling water. In Peru the
plant is called Moho Moho, and is extensively used for the
same purposes as cubebs, which this pepper much resembles
in smell.

IMPORTANT TO THE LANDED INTEREST: THE CHESHIRE
FERRIES.—We understand that, at a meeting yesterday of
the proprietors of the Birkenhead and Woodside Ferries.
Messrs. Willoughby, of the former ferry, expressed their
determination to adhere to the practice of allowing the inha-
bitants to cross the river by contract, which has been conti-
nued for so long a period with advantage to both. The
Woodside Ferry Company are still resolved to permit no
such contracts to he entered into for crossing by their boats,
and we hope the public will therefore appreciate the kind in-
tentions of Messrs. Willoughby's, who have come to their
resolution solely with a view to do all in their power to in-
crease the convenience of the residents on the Cheshire
shore. It will be remembered that this subject was noticed
in a very recent number of the Standard.
