MURDER OF TWO PROTESTANTS AT BRAD-
FORD, BY AN IRISH ROMAN CATHOLIC
MOB.

The Romish Church is really going a-head just tiOW
all over the world, after a fashion which deserves the
serious consideration of the British Protestants of every
denomination. TV e give in our publication this day, the
particulars of a case in which a poor woman has heal
sentenced to death in Madeira, for disclaiming poptsh
idolatry. We give also full I articulars of the atrocities
committed by the Irish Roman Catholics in the city. of
Philadelphia, and the burning and slaughter in retaliation
which have been the result ; and we have now to record
the particulars of a savage and brutal assault committed
by a mob of Irish Catholics in Bradford, upon the meat•
bers of a band belonging to the Protestant Confederation,
whose crime was, that they had played during a procession
on Whitmonday, some tunes which are hateful to re'
hellions ears. The poor fellows, it appears, were taker"
for Orangemen, and having been attending the gathering
of various lodges, and an evidently preconcerted attack was
made upon them near the Airedale Collage, Undercliffer
near Bradford, were they were attacked by a body of Roman
Catholics, who threw stones at them, and beat than
severely with cudgels, shillelaghs, stones, &c. At the
time of the attack, they had given over playing, and were
proceeding quietly home. Their musical instruments
were smashed to pieces, and the unfortunate musicians
felled to the ground amid the yells and imprecations of
their assailants. One poor fellow was left on the ground
horribly beaten about the head, and is since dead ; and
from the Halifax Guardian, we learn that at the time of
its going to press on Friday, another had just died.
Several more were dangerously wounded. A number of
of parties are in custody, charged with being concerned
in the outrage, and await the result of the inquest, which
was adjourned to yesterday.

St. Peter's Church, Rock Ferry, will be consecrated by
the Bishop of Chester this day (Tuesday).
The borough magistrates contemplate, it is said, the
admission of reporters to their meetings in futtire.
The King of the French is to arrive in this country at
the latter end of September.
It is said, and we believe with truth, that within the last
few days, a fresh importation of pickpockets into this
town has taken place. It well becomes the public and
the authorities to be more than ever on their guard.
THE BISHOP or CHESTER.—On Sunday morning last
the Bishop of Chester preached at St. Peter's Church, intLis town, when the sum of £27 was collected in aid of
the Society for the Relief of Widows and Orphans of
Deceased Clergymen.
TRENNIAL VISITATION.—To-day, the Lord Bishop of
Chester vs ill hold his trennial visitation for the district of
Liverpool, at St. Peter's Church, on which occasion, after
Divine service has been performed, his lordship will
deliver his charge to the assembled clergy.
HAVE WE SUFFICENT DOCK-ROOM ?—A. vessel ar-
rived here on Thursday last, reports having counted two
hundred and fifty sail of shipping within sounding for
Liverpool. There are few people, we imagine, who with
the present vessels in our port, would assert that we hay
sufficiency of dock-room for such a shoal.
CAUTION TO GIG DRIVERS.—On Saturday, at the
Police-court, a young gentleman was fined five guineas
for injuries inflicted upon an elderly female by reason of
his furious driving on the 23d April last. The defendant,
it was proved, was driving the gig at the time in question
at the rate of ten miles an hour.
CONFIRMATION.—On Saturday the Lord Bishop of
Chester held a 2onfirmation at St. Michael's and St.
Martin's Churches, in this town, when nearly 2,000
young persons were admitted to that sacred ordinance ;
and, yesterday his lordship administered the same rite at
St. Jude's and St. John the Baptist's to about half Oa
number of candidates.
ZOOLOGICAL GARDENS.—We have not, during the
usual bustle consequent on an election, been able to visit
this picturesque promenade since the opening night, but
we are not ignorant of the general satisfaction the Fete de
Ete has given. Every person who has honoured Mr.
Atkin with their presence, pronounces the preparation of
this season superior to any that has preceded it.—See adv.
MAIL TO CANADA AND THE UNITED STATES.—The
British and North American royal mail steam-ship,
Acadia, Captain Ryrie, sails to-day for Halifax and Boston.
Newspapers may now be transmitted to Canada, if ad-
dressed via Boston, without any charge for conveyance by
packet. They will, however, be charged the colonial rata
of one penny each paper, and, of course, any United
States postage for transmission to Boston.
PRESENTATION OF PLATE.—We were exceedingly
gratified yesterday by a glance at a beautiful silver tea and
coffee service, manufactured by Mr. Doke, of Lord-street,
about to be presented to the Rev. Mr. Carpenter, as a
token of the estimation in which he is held by his con-
gregation. The articles severally bear the following in-
scription :—" Presented to the Rev. H. Carpenter, A.M.
of St. Michael's Liverpool, by the members of his congre-
gation, as a token of their Christian love, and as a testi-
monial to his faithfulness in preaching the truth as it is
in Jesus.'—lst June, 1844. The articles are beautifully
made, and will, we are assured, be highly prized by the
reverend gentleman as a memorial of the strong affection
entertained by the congregation for himself personally, as
well as a proof of the attachment of his flock to the scrip-
tural doctrines he so faithfully labour to disseminate.
