ping about confidence in Scripturi
of civil and religious liberiy. TI
ical. What, then, were the wiE

practical pi
moment the
this to be al

n, and was fit thii
lent. To what was
n her geographical

theme future passing in the mind
? Ireland had ever be
t difficulty of the Govern
ted ? Not to anything

position,—not to anything in her national history,—Mit to any_
thing in her Protestant population, for they were loyal and true
to their principles. Nor was it to the Popish population of
Ireland, considered in themselves,—for they were a generous
people, and open by nature to as kind influences and
responses as any people under the sun. What unaccountable
thine., then, was it that made Ireland such a burden
to the United Kingdom? It was the Court of Rome operating

priests appointed by.the bishops—and-the priests miming an
engine of the people, through the superstition of the uneducated
masses. (ApplauSe.) The people had not information enough
to resist the terror exercised over them. The Pope was hos-
tile to Protestant England, as a heretic; and here was the
reason why Ireland was a burden., .(Cheers.) And our gover-
nors, good easy men, sought to conciliate the Romanists of

iion;and Jo they had given

she now sought to be dominant. He had men to see wuat
prophets had desired to see, but had not—the fulfilment of
their own prophecies. He had said, long ago, that Rome was
practising deceit, and wanted but a little more encouragement
to aim at dominancy,—and he was now seeing his prophecy
fulfilled. They had been told this was not so, and they
had been laughed and scoffed at as bigots ; the news-
papers of the town, with one or two exceptions, had
denounced them as fanatics, not fit for the middle ages; but

these very newspapers were now writing, day after day, as if
they were actually stealing out of those very speeches which
they one so loudly condemned. (Cheers and laughter.) 01 it
was a pleasant thing now to read the London Times. There were
but three courses possible of adoption in any anticipated view of
the future. One was, for England to permit the Pope to appoint
bishops and archbishops, and haiie a cathedral at London.
(Cries of" No, never.") That was one way; he did not say that
it was one likely to be adopted, but it was the way which con-
ciliation had pointed at. He believed it never could be
adopted. No Government—be it what it might—would ever
be enabled to induce or coerce the people to submit to
Mime. (Cheers.) What, then, was the next course? If con-
ciliation had failed, and submission was out of the question,
should they return to penal laws ? Should England practically
forget the high tone she had so long taken of toleration, and
enact persecuting statutes ? He believed this would be
very difficult of accomplishment ; nothing but the absolute
interests of self-preservation would induce the people to return
to penal measures. Well, then, if penal statutes were unpala-
table, what remained to be done—what could be done ?
Suppose they could emancipate the people from the power of
tne priests,—leave the officers of the Roman army high and
dry, without an army,—suppose they could enlighten this army
into that which would show them that their officers had been
leading them wrong,—suppose they could give them Scriptural
education, by circulating the Bible in the language beet under-
stood by the people.—suppose they could invade Ireland with a
Protestant mission, with all its concomitants of schools. scrip-
ture readers, catechists,—sending these into the 'eery heart of
the country,—he believed what the resolution invited them to
affirm, that the diffusion of scriptural knowledge is the best
defence of civil and religious liberty, would be verified.
(Cheers.) The rev. doctor, after some further observations in
support of the proposition, concluded by seconding the resolu-
tion, and sat down amidst loud applause.
The Doxology having been sung, the meeting separated at a
little before half-past ten.
On 'Sunday, collections in aid! of the funds of the society
were made in St. Bride's Church, where a sermon was preached
in the morning by Rev. Dr. M`Nelle ; in St. Mark's, where a
sermon was preached, in the morning, by the Ven. Archdeacon
of Derry; and in St. Paul's, by the Rev. Dr. O'Sullivan, in the
morning; and by the Rev. Dr. M'Neile in the evening. %e
understand that the amounts subscribed were liberal.

ACCIDENT ON Tat RIVER.—On Sunday, a man in
crossing at low water from Woodside Ferry, slipped in
between two boats. He was with difficulty saved.
TEA ROBBERY.—The officer on duty in Suffolk-street
or, Sunday evening discovered the warehouse of Messrs.
Gill, brokers, open. On entering, every symptom of
robbery was apparent, and on inquiry it was found that
nearly 100 lbs. weight of tea was missing. After a search,
however, about two-thirds of the quantity were found in
bags on the roof. No clue has yet been discovered as to
the perpetrators of the felony.
PRESENTATION LAST NlGETT.—Yesterday evening, a
large number of the persona employed by Messrs. Thos.
Milner and Sons, fireproof safe-manufacturers, met at
the Brunswick Hotel, to present to Mr. Hignett (who,
we learn, is about leaving the establishment) a testi-
monial of the esteem in which he was held. C. F. Salt,
Esq., took the chair, and Mr. Gurney the vice-chair.
The room (far too small) was crowded to excess long be-
fore the appointed time, half-past seven, but punctually
to the hour one of the operatives, who, we believe, repre-
sented at least a hundred, presented to Mr. Hignet a mas-
sive and splendidly-engraved silver snuffbox, in a neat and
appropriate address. The box bore the following inscrip-
tion :—" Testimonial of Esteem, presented to Mr. Thomas
Carl Hignett, by the workmen and a few friends connected
with the Firm of Messrs. Thomas Milner and Son, as a
token of the regard they entertain for his personal worth
and character. August, MDCCCLI." The presentation
was suitably but modestly acknowledged. Several neat
addresses were made during the evening, which was
spent in great hilarity, and the party separated delighted,
before the hour of midnight struck.
MISS CATHARINE HAYES' CONCERT LAST NIGHT.—
This talented lady gave last night her farewell concert,
previous to her departure for America. We regret that
the lateness of the hour prevents our entering into the
particulars of this charming entertainment. Suffice it to
say that Miss Hayes was in excellent voice, and was rap-
turously encored every time she sung. Her voice has at-
tained great compass, is of extensive register, and delicious
purity. Her delivery of the "Ah non Giunge" from
La Sonnanzbula was highly successful, and we are sure
that with such an impression as she has just made, she
carries with her the best wishes of every one who heard
her, and we have no doubt that her trip to the new
world will be eminently successful, and that there she will
add new'and fresh laurels to the crown she now wears.
She was supported by Miss Williams, who is well known
to our readers as a rich mezzo soprano. A new tenor—
Mr. Augustus Braham, son of the veteran Braham, was
introduced to the audience, and acquitted himself with
great credit. We should like to hear Herr Mengis again
before giving an opinion of his merits. Signor Sivori's
performance on the violin took the audience by storm, and
the conducting of Mr. Lavenu gave universal satisfaction.
The house was crowded in every part.
SINGULAR AND FATAL ACCIDENT.—The death of
Henry Sudell, Esq., of Ashley House, Wilts, which
occurred a, few days since, resulted from a somewhat
remarkable cause. Mr. Sudell had called at the Queen's
Head Inn, at Box, and while conversing with some
gentlemen there, he saw a dog suddenly spring at one of
them, Mr. Lewis, of Colerne. Mr. Sudell quickly step-
ped forth to restrain the dog, and Mr. Lewis being equally
on the alert, simultaneously aimed a blow at it with his
walking-stick, but, unfortunately, instead of striking the
animal, struck Mr. Sudell's hand. Inflammation was
the result, and it having alarmingly increased, the assist-
ance of Dr. Sprague was obtained ; but, notwithstaining
that gentleman's efforts, mortification took place, and
Mr. Sudell expired on Thursday last.—Bath Chronicle,
