gentlemen," and procure shares in good on-
cerns behind the screen of their worthless names.
This is, no doubt, very wrong ; but is it all that is
wrong ? Do we see no powerful companies, whilst
professing to invite general application for shares in
their new schemes, reserving them for disposal
amongst the private friends of their own boards of
direction ? Is it a very unusual thing to purchase
the alliance of this or that neighbouring line by an
allotment of shares, likely to run up to a good pre-
mium ? If thii is not so, then public report lies
most foully, and this generation is more virtuous
than we had conceived.
Now let us calmly ask the question whether it is
so very much more iniquitous in little speculators—
Bankers' and Merchants' clerks or petty Shop-
keepers—aspiring to the honor and the profit of
an allotment of shares in some Irish Great Western,
or other imposing undertaking, than it is iniquit-
ous on the part of great leviathan companies to
appropriate so large a share of the premiums, which
they can create at will, amongst themselves, for the
purpose of purchasing the consent of refractory
Landowners, fighting rival undertakings or filling
their own pockets. We conceive there is not much The first of two grand instrumental concerts to be

1, distinctly, that the time for tempo-
rising policy, and insulting concession to agitation,
is passed—that the endurance of the Protestants of
Ireland, under ministerial contumely and ruffian
violence, can no longer he counted upon. The
Orangemen of Ireland will no longer be soothed
down to witness passively the wreck of those insti-
tutions which they have struggled so long to pre-
serve, and in defence of which they have endured
contumely, misrepresentation, and even persecution.
It is no light thing, for a statesman to sneer at or
sleep upon, when a nation is thus evidently divided
into hostile sections, each armed and prepared for a
collision ; and we implore of the Conservative ma-
jority of both Houses, whatever may be the plausible
tone which the present government may assume
upon the occasion, to interfere, and, if possible,
avert the calamity which is impending.

The revelations which have recently been made
before Parliament, as to the mode in which railwati
schemes are got up and allotments of shares granted,
has given opportunity for a large quantity of excel-
lent indignation against railway speculations in
general. Innocent members of both Houses, and
influential journalists, in the simplicity of their
hearts, have been congratulating themselves upon a
rare discovery. The carelessness exhibited in the
instance of the Dublin and Galway Railway in al-
lotting stock, with scarcely the show of an inquiry
whether the recipients were men of straw or men
of substance, is made the ground of a conclusion,
that other companies have been equally indiscreet
and reckless in their proceedings ; and that many
railway deeds, if scrutinized, would be found to be
mere waste paper, or rather spoilt parchment, to-
tally wanting in the fulfilment of the object for
which the legislature required them, and on the face
of them fraudulent.

press the order in 1773, arid it was not revived until the
close of the last war. They bad just been expelled from
France, arid Mr. Parry pointed out the incolisistency, of
leaving this l'rotestant country exposed to their machina-
tions, whilst even Popish lauds had found it absolutely
requisite to stop their aggressions. The rev. gentleman
earnestly cautioned the meeting to beware of female Je-

for " no surrender," which was received with bursts
of enthusiastic and genuine Protestant cheers, and
in resuming his seat he moved a resolution hailing, with
pleasure the expulsion of the Jesuits from France, and
calling upon our own rulers not to permit the laws of this
•runtry with respect to that order to be a dead letter or

of emergency not likely to occur frequently; but it
was not met by the authorities with any steps of pre-
caution or any attempt to alleviate the inconveni-
ence. On the contrary, although, there was infinite
danger and difficulty in managing the landing and
embarkation of such a tier of Ferry Boats, the pas-
sengers were compelled, in addition to encountering
theee, to climb 'over the large mail steamer which
was interposed between the landing-stage and the
other boats, although, in such an emergency, and
for once or twice, it might certainly have laid out
in the river.

—The Rev

We cre aware that a plan for providing some
increased accommodation is now in course of pre-
paration, and that it is compulsory on the part of
Dock Trustees to set about it at once. We trust
that they will do so, and that the plan itself may be
an efficacious one. In the mean time we may be
excused if we hint what is not only our own itnpres-
sion, but that of the public, that the importance of
affording good ferry accommodation has been rather
overlooked by the Dock Committee and the Council.
They seem rather to be coerced into improvement
than to seek it of ,heir own accord; and to regard
the formation of good landing places as a concession
to other interests rather than a benefit to their own.
Now this is an error, and cannot too soon he dissi-
pated. In the growing increase of steam communi-
cation both foreign and coastwise, and in the spread
of railways in every direction, Liverpool may be
called upon to compete with new rivals which we
scarcely dream of at present; and certainly the
possession of ample facilities for landing passengers
on our quays will be a very material instrument to
enable her to compete with success. It may be
urged that the passenger trade is unremunerating to
the public estate; that human freights pay neither
Dock dues nor Town dues. But we must look at
the benefit of Liverpool itself and not solely at the
benefit of the two public estates. Surely no one
wilt .be hardy enough to contend that it is of-trifling
importance to this town to be the terminus cf such
lines of traffic as the Halifax, the New York, or
even the Dublin mail steamers. 'We would, rather
than be niggards in this matter, say emphatically
that no outlay of money should be spared to render
our landing accommodation fur passengers effective.

vuucu talc a t-stnilLloll. tie oeciared his convi,:tion that
there was now no hope from our statesmen or our re-
presentatives, for both hid betrayed us, and that the
only safety for Protestant England lay in the operatives,
the protestant operatives. The reverend gentleman at
great length detaile-d the leading doctrines held by the
Jesuits, and c NA the authority of Dr. Brown, Arch-
bishop of Dubin in 1551, to shew that even in a very few
years after the original introduction of the order they
had made themselves obnoxious to the state. But
the same good prelate had, in the spirit of prophecy,
said they would he cut cff by all nations, even by the very
hands that had most succoured them; and this remarka-
ble saying appeared in the very way of literal fulfilment,
for already had they been expelled from France with the
concurrence of the Pope himself. But the order had not
yet become odious in England ' • and the rev. speaker ex-
pressed his strung regret that there should he a disposi-
tion on the part tf our Protestant nobil.ty to take Jesuits
into the bosom of their families, under the d,sguise of tu-
tors to their sons. He repeated that the poly hope for
England lay in the fidelity of her Protestant operative
so,is. Mr. limit then r -ferred to the late debate in the
Lords on the Maynooth Endowment Bill, and severely
handled the Bishop of St. David's for his defence of the
measure, a defence founded upon the principle that what
was idolatry and superstitious was not to he considered or
called idolatrous or superstitious. As to our statesmen.
and Sir Robert Peel in particular, they put him in mind
of Bunyan's Allegory of the Pilgrim's Progress. In one
part of that inimitable work Pagan and Pope were repre-
sented by two giants, at the mouth of whose caves were
the bones of the, martyrs for Christ's sake,' whom
hey had devoured. The Pagan's teeth were done,
and the Pope's nearly so ; but Sir Robert Peel
must now be considered as the state dentist, who
had supplied the Pope with new grinders to devour
Protestantism altogether. The resolution was unani-
mously carried. The Rev. I homes Nolan, for whose
address we deeply regret not having room, next entered
upon a detail of the recent proceedin.zs of the Jesuits in
France, especially of their contest with the university ;
an.l he moved, " That this meeting regards the recent
expulsion of the Jesuits from France, and that, too, by a
popish government, as demonstrating, in addition to the
tarts already on the pages of history, that the existence of
that infamous order is totally incompatible with the pros-
perity of the civil and religious institutions of any christian
country, it bring so constituted as to assume any form the
circumstances of the times may render necessary for the
furtherance of its great objects, the supremacy of the pope
over all nations, and its own encroachments in particular."
—The Rev. C. Marshall seconded the resolution, and it
was unanimously carried.—Several other speeches were
afterwards delivered, and this most encouraging and in-
teresting meeting terminated between ten and eleven
o'clock.—The Protestant operatives of Toateth-park are
decidedly in advance of their brethren in Liverpool.
APPEAL CAM- —Some weeks ago a man named O'Don-
nell was sentenced, in the police-court, to pay .£5, or suf-
fer a month's imprisonment, for taking up certain vegeta-
bles, &c.. and damaging others, in an allotment of ground
let out by a Society celled " The Labourers' Friend As-
sociation," in Toxteth Park, the magistrate expressing
a strong opinion on the heinousness of the offence. It
was then urged in his defence that he was still the. tenant ;
that he had received no due notice ; had only acted in
pursuance of his right ; and that another tenant was un-
fairly put over his head. He appealed to the sessions
against Mr. Rushton's decision, and that gentleman and
the new tenant, John Maliony, were the respondents.
The case came on yesterday before the Recorder.
Mr. Ramshay, for the appellant, contended that his client,
even if be bad done wrong, acted under mistake as to his
aim, and that it was monstrous oppression in the society
to proceed against him for felony, especially as the vege.
tables taken up by him were not fit for sale or use. He
bad also entered actions at law against some of the re-
spondents. The case lasted the whole day, and, at the
rising, the Recorder said that he should postpone passing
judgment until this day.
