there may be differences of opinion among honest and
conscientious supporters of the British Constitution as it
is ; and if the candidates for our suffrages differed only on
such details all being, real friends of the fundamental
principles of our glorious constitution, then there would
he comparatively little ground of preference for one above
another: for whoever was elected the British Constitution
in its foundations would be safe. But if some candidates
present themselves of whom we know that they desire
and aim at a new Charter,—(bear, hear,)—which would
give a general election every year, and a vote to every
man, and a dark ballot mask to every voter—(hear, hear,
and much cheering)—thus destroying our balance and our
peace ; and if other candidates present themselves, of
whom we know that they cannot be true to their own
Church and its head, without being untrue to the pledged
protestantism of our Sovereign ; and that consequently
such persons if sincere in their religion, as it pledges
them against heretics, especially heretical sovereigns,
must be insincere in their allegiance to the Crown of
England as now limited. And on the contrary, if they be
indeed sincere in their allegiance; notwithstanding the
contracted, pledged, and indefeasible Protestantism of our
Sovereign ;—(cheers)—then they must be insincere in
their Romanism or Papalism ;—(renewed cheers)--when
such candidates present themselves, how can we delegate
power to them ? How can we as Christian people, thank-
ful to God for his mercies of peace and good government
to our land, vote for such persons in the fear of God ?
(Loud applause.) Thus, then, without requiring specific
promises in detail from candidates, and indeed objecting
on principle to the system of pledged delegates instead of
free representatives, we are nevertheless called in our
measure to the defence and support of our Constitution,
on the general reputation of men and measures. The
more minute particulars must be matters of local and per-
sonal inquiry as occasions arise. (Hear.) The Christian
duty thus described has been greviously neglected. Nay
more, the principles on which it rests have been grossly
and extensively violated; so extensively, that every estate
in realm, except the crown, has lost its Christian
ch cter. Hence our troubles. Hence our divisions.
Hence our dangers. (Hear, bear.) From the systematic,
patient, and skilfully conducted advances of Roman-
ism our danger is imminent, and the more so, be-
cause many of those who alone can efficiently guard
against it, seem determined not to see it. Our Roma-
nist opponents are not merely that portion of our own
population who are members of the Church of Rome,—
if this were so, the danger would be comparatively small,
—but the whole organised system of that church, through-
out the whole world, is against us. Universal supremacy
is the claim of that system,—a claim not admitting of
abandonment, or even of modification. It is declared to
be divine in its origin and absolute in itself. To say that
the subjects of the Papal court aim at the establishment
of such a supremacy, is only to say that they are sincere

to explain that there was nothing in the standing

have been used by Mr. Aikin, at the last meeting:—
" That the best plan of the proposed resolution would be

the occasion was, that it would be strange to ask the SO-,

•' He is a freeman whom the Truth makes free,
And all are slaves besides."

The names of the gentlemen proposed as officers were
here read.
Mr. HOWARD seconded the motion. He said he was
always glad to meet the middle classes and working men
of the town on such occasions, and to find them devoting
a portion of their time to listening to such instructive
truths as had that evening been so eloquently and forcibly
expressed. It had been mentioned to him that gentle-
men had cause to be afraid to attend such meetings as
these, they were so boisterous. Their excellent chairman
in his admirable address, had given an ample refutation
of the calumnies that had been uttered respecting the
principles and objects of such meetings,—and the meet-
ing had, in its enthusiasm, done no more than give proper
expression to their feelings. The Saviour himself had
loudly expressed his feelings by singing hallelujahs as he
approached the temple, and rejoicing in a proper and
moderate sense was not against the divine will ; for we
were told that " the joy of the Lord was our strength,"
and that from the abundance of the heart the mouth
speaketh." He cordially thanked them for the respect-
ful attention they had paid to the excellent remarks and
instruction given from the chair, every word of which had
its effect, for every word was pure gold. (Cheers.) He
besought them to carry that instruction home with them,
and to impart it to their children. For himself, he re-
joiced there to meet a body of excellent men, who not
only believed the truth as it was in Jesus, but showed it
forth in their lives and actions. He conclude d by cordi-
ally seconding the resolution, which was u nanimously

to be discountenanced. He could not but suppose that
our government wished that the children in our schools
and our people should be taught to worship the true God,
and not the idol that ought to be "cast to the moles and
the bats." Mr. Radcliffe had alluded in happy terms to
the Romish ship, and her un-seaworthiness. And this
reminded him that it would be well if a fleet of steam-
vessels were procured, and fitted with such men as he saw
around him, to proceed to Italy and make an aggressive
attack upon popery at its seat, calling for the countenance
and protection of the British government, so that the
time might soon come when the chair of St. Peter should
be vacant. (Much cheering and laughter.) And then, on
the first vacancy in that chair, he should wish to put their
chairman into it. (Cheers and laughter.) 'England would
then have nothing to fear from gome ; for he (the chair-
man) would elevate this country to the exalted station
which she ought to occupy. We had as yet only gone
half way up the hill of Zion. We must go to the top,
and there rear our -national English temple, and
fortress of Protestantism so firmly and formidably that
there should be no papist outside or inside of the walls to
assail them. (Cheers.)
Mr. HARBORD seconded the motion, and it was carried.
The CHAIRMAN combatted in a facetious manner Mr.
James's 'suggestion for an aggressive movement upon
Italy, which would be contrary to the laws of that coun-
try, and subject those who engaged in it to a voluntary
martyrdom. He rather advocated meetings such as the
present, and arguments in place of force. He then ad-
verted to the meeting of the Anti-corn-law League, (to
take place the next day,) and showed in a clear manner that
the plausible pretext of free trade, and cheap bread, was
merely put forth by these parties for their own aggrandise-
ment, and with a view to multiply their mills, and reduce
the wages of their servants. Though wages might in some
instances advance, though the price of food was declining,
this was a temporary operation of circumstances ; and
they might depend upon it, that, as a general rule, the
contrary would hold ; and that wages would fall with a fall I
in the price of food. He gave several illustrations of this
position, and concluded by advising those present not to I
swell the number of the meeting at the Amphitheatre by
attending.
The doxology was then sung, and the meeting, which
was most enthusiastic throughout, separated in a quiet I
and orderly manner.

The Solicitor was then asked a number of questions,
_ explanatory of the course be had adopted, by several
it members of the Board ; and, at length, on the motion of
td Mr. new., seconded by Mr. TROTMAN, the following
11 resolution was unanimously adopted :—" That the expla-
xi nation given by the Dock Solicitor is satisfactory to this
ig committee, so far as regards the supposed interfprp.u..

The'Rev. Mr. FALLOON then came forward and was
received with tremendous cheers. He said,—Mr. Chair-
man, I had intended contenting myself with simply
moving this resolution, for I have been suffering so
much all day from an affection of the head, that I could
think of nothing, but the reformation tone of the speeches
just delivered has acted like medicine upon me; there
must really be something salubrious about the atmosphere
of a protestant meeting ; and I find myself so invigorated
by breathing the air of true civil and religious liberty, that
with your permission, and that of the meeting, I would
say a few words. Would, Sir, that I could report on suffi-
cient authority, and bear out my statement by sufficiently
satisfactory evidence, that such a real and decided change
had taken place in the principles and practices of popery,
that I could to-night, in duty to my God and with safety
to my fellows, propose that our association be at once
disbanded, as there is no longer any necessity for its ex-
istence; but how different is the tone of the resolution
put into my hand; which pledges us to increased exertions,
and to an enlargement of our protestant movement in this
land. It would be far more satisfactory to the patriot who
loves his country, and to the Christian who loves his God,
that it were otherwise, for the patriot knows full well that
his dear, his native land, is not, and never can be safe, so
long as there dwell within its bosom, and sit amidst its
councils, men who, so far from acknowledging with cor-
dial loyalty the 'rightful supremacy of our most gracious
Sovereign within these realms, own allegiance to a foreign
powee, and that power alien and hostile to the Protestant
ascendancy on the throne of England,—and this state of
things is no joy to the patriot,—they are fond to charge
us with taking a malignant pleasure in this controversy ;
they say, we hold our meetings through Protestant spite ;
far otherwise is the case. We would heartily rejoice to
see the fetter burst into a thousand shreds that binds the
poor Romanist in such disloyal thraldom. We would hail
with gladness the hour that would give to Romish millions
emancipation from priestcraft and disaffection, and make
them truth-born freemen—a credit to their country and
faithful servants to their God. Controversy, Sir, is in-
evitable, but not desirable, to the patriot or the Christian ;
the latter knows how extremely difficult it is to be angry
with evil and yet not to sin ; he knows there is danger,
lest in the excitement of the outer man the sweet repose
of the inner man be disturbed, lest the calm flow of the
spiritual man be ruffled by the turbulent waves of exter-
nal agitation, but still, being born again, he is " born a
man of contention"—a witness for God, and therefore he
cannot be traitorous to his master by being tolerant of
error ; nor can he. for the sake of present ease, consent
to link himself with those who dishonour the glorious
banner under which he fights, and who would trample
under foot the dearly-bought liberties of England. As an
association, we hold a high, a holy, and an honourable

position, standing opposed, as we do, to man's pervc
sions of God's truth in doctrine, and also to man's unjt
oral.

On the motion of Mr. EVANS, a resolution was then

A letter was read from the chairman of the Steam Tug
Company, stating the readiness of the company to enter
into any arrangement with the committee for the use of a
steam vessel, to be at the command of the committee, for
the purpose of towing out the life-boats in cases of ship-
wreck. After some little conversation, it was referred to
the Marine Surveyor's Committee.
A letter from John Farrar was referred to the Sub-
Committee of Works.
Mr. /strew, proposed that Messrs. Shand, Middleton,
and Nicol should form a sub-committee, to carry out a
resolution of the committee authorising negociations for
the purchase of the land required for the new docks.
Mr. AMIN proposed, as an amendment, that all mat-
ters connected with the proposed new work be referred to
the special sub-committee. The committee went to the
vote, and nine voted in favour of the amendment; only
six voted for the motion.
The committee then adjourned, after being in delibera-
tion for two hours and a quarter.

The inhabitants of Tranmere have given notice of an

RODNEY-STREET WARD.—On Monday evening last, a
great number of the conservatives of this ward dined to-

gether at the Adelphi Hotel, to celebrate the return— of
Mr. Birkett. Amongst those present were Mr. Payne,
(chairman,) Mr. R. Dawson, (vice-chairman,) Mr. H.
Lawrence, Mr. John N. Wood, Mr. Edward G. 'Deane,
Mr. Ellison, Mr. Samuel Holme, Mr. Hesketh, Mr.
Syers, Mr. Wilson, Mr. Rigby, Mr. Groom, Mr. Cul-
shaw, Mr. Bentley, Mr. Ford. and other influential gen-
tlemen. Mr. Alderman Crooke and Mr. James Aspinall,
were absent through indisposition, and letters ware read
from both those gentlemen regretting their inability to be
present. Some admirable speeches were made during the
evening, and strong allusions were also made to the
atrocious attacks which have characterised the opposition
to Mr. Birkett, and which, emanating as they did from
the radical committee, had quite a contrary effect to that
intended ; as it rendered neuter several parties who had
purposed voting for Mr. Lassell, and brought to Mr. Bir-
kett's aid several who had previously intended to take no
part in the election. One of the speakers alluded to se-
veral of the abominable and disgraceful attacks which had
even invaded the sanctuary of domestic life; and the most
determined resolution was exhibited to prevent radicalism
from ever again obtaining a footing in the ward. Mr.
Birkett, Mr. Henry Lawrence, Mr. Wood, Mr. Holme,
and other speakers, were loudly applauded throughout;
and such is the efficiency of the committee, and such the
local influence of the conservatives of Rodney-street Ward,
that the radicals may save themselves the trouble of con-
testing the ward against the present members ; and Mr.
Evans (whose good feeling towards Mr. Birkett is gene-
rally admitted) will have the gratification of seeing Mr.
Birkett the representative of the ward as long, at least, as
he remains an alderman.

CORONER'S INQuEsrs.—No fewer than six inquests
were held before the borough Coroner, on Saturday, The
first was on the body of Ann Eaton, which was found
floating in the water near the Sandhilis-bridge. The de-
ceased, who was about eighty years of age, and occupied
a cellar in St. Martin's-street, proceeded, about a fort-
night since, at a late hour in the evening, to the canal,
for the purpose of gathering a few pieces of coal, and it is
supposed that she accidentally slipped into the water.
The second was on the body of Mary Murray, a child
thirteen days old. It appeared, from the evidence of the
mother of the deceased, Elizabeth Murray, of Frederick-
street, that, as she was on her way home, last Wednesday
night fortnight, she was seized with the pains of labour in
the street. She made for the house of a Mr. Baker, but,
before she had time to reach there, she was delivered of
the deceased. who fell upon her head on the pavement,
and then tumbled down two steps ofa cellar. The witness
was then taken into a cellar, where she was delivered of a
second child. The deceased was severely hurt on her head
and back by the fall, and died on Tuesday last. The third
inquest was held on Ann Dunbar, a female 70 years of
age, and the wife cif Henry Dunbar, a shoemaker, re-
siding in Sparling-street. It appeared that the deceased
was, on Friday night, left by herself sitting at the kitchen
fire, and that when her husband returned in the course of
an hour afterwards he found the place full of smoke, the
deceased lying on the floor with her head under the bed,
and the bed-clothes on fire. She died almost immediately
after. The fourth was held on John James, who died in
the hospital of the Borough Gaol, from lockjaw. The
fifth was on Thomas Tootle, of Leeds, who was found
lying in a beastly state of intoxication on the parapet in
Cheapside, and booked drunk and for safety, at tridewell,
where he was placed before a fire and covered with rugs.
He continued, however, to get seriously ill, and died about
eleven o'clock, on Saturday, from excessive drinking.
The sixth and last inquest was on the body of Eller
Dempsey, a female sixty-two years of age, who occupiec
the house 42, Pellew-street. It annearpa -

CHARGE AGAINST A CAPTAIN.-011 Friday John Cal-
row, the captain of the brig Mediterranean, was brought
up on a charge of having, on the fith of December last,
compelled one of his hands, John Hill, to go on shore at
a place called Chilongo, on the southern coast of Africa,
under such circumstances as caused his death, in a few
days after, on board her Majesty's ship Rapid. It ap-
peared, from the evidence of the chief mate and one of the
sailors, that the prisoner was a man of ungovernable tem-
per when under the influence of ardent spirits, and that,
during the voyage, he ordered the mate and most of the
crew to be flogged, and caused several entries to be made
in the log-book to the effect that there was a mutiny on
board. Hill was flogged on two occasions in the course of
a fortnight. The second time he received sixty lashes
from a birch rod on his bare back, which caused blood to
flow profusely, and immediately after two Kroo boys were
ordered by the prisoner to take him on shore in a canoe.
They put off, but the surf was running so high upon the
beach that they found it impossible to effect a landing,
and, in consequence, they returned to the ship and informed
the prisoner of what they had been obliged to do. The
prisoner commanded the Kroo boys to put off again, and,
if they found themselves unable to land Hill, to heave him
overboard ; and Ise also said, that he would give them a
watchword in order that they might know when to heave
the unfortunate man out. The canoe having accordingly
put off a second time, the captain sat upon the gangway
and sung out five or six times, "bapry hammer," the
watchword which he had just before told the Kroo boys he
should give. The native Africans, however, instead of at-
tending to the watchword and heaving the man over, kept
on their course and succeeded in putting him on shore.
Hill then made his way along the sea shore to Loango,
about twenty-five miles distant, where he received some
kind treatment from the persons in charge of an English,
and also of an American factory, but where he fell ill of
fever, caused, it is supposed, by the burning heat of the
climate and the fatigue and exhaustion he had undergone,
and, being carried on board the Rapid, he died in a few
days after. It was endeavoured to be shown by the agent
for the defence, that there were several entries in the log
book tending to establish the fact that the crew were most
riotous and disorderly, that Hill had been treated kindly
on shore by one of the servants of the prisoner, who was
at the English factory carrying on a traffic with the na-
tives, and that after having been landed he was in good
health ; but the mate and others who subscribed the en-
tries distinctly stated, that those entries had been dictated
to them by the prisoner, and that they had subscribed
them under terror of their lives, the prisoner having, all
along the voyage, manifested a most despotic disposition.
Mr. Rushton ordered him to be remanded until the next
day, and said that he should then commit him for trial a
the approaching assizes, under the sth and 6th of William,
cap. 19, sec. 40, for having forced on shore and wrong-
fully left behind at sea, at a place out of her Majesty's do-
minions, one of his own crew. The offence was a misde-
meanour by the statute, and the prisoner might be libe-
rated on finding bail, himself in £2OO and two sureties in
£lOO each. About half-past two o'clock on Saturday the
prisoner was again put to the bar, when Mr. Ellis, the
clerk, read over the informations of the several witnesses,
and bound over the latter in their own recognizances of
£lOO each to Anripnr *-1

general sentiments of the Roman Catholic body, he had
been wrong in all his anticipations. and that Lord Win-
chilsea had been right in all his gloomy forebodings.
Mr. RADCLIFFE said that, though an operative, he had
been requested to second the resolution, and he heartily
did so, considering it his duty to lift up his voice in de-
fence of our glorious constitution in church and state.
They were charged with being uncharitable ; but this he
denied. They entertained no unkind feeling to any man,
be he Jew, Turk, heretic, or infidel. But suppose a ves-
sel were on the point of sailing from the port of Liverpool,
with her valuable cargo and her crew on board, and they
happened to discover that she was not seaworthy, would
it not be their duty to do all in their power to dissuade
the confiding but mistaken men from proceeding with
her? (Hear.) Now, they had examined the old Romish
ship (loud cheers)—they had found that her bottom was
rotten (continued cheers and laughter)—and were they
uncharitable to the crew if they told them, as they valued
their souls, to abandon such a vessel, and cornp into the
only life-boat for the salvation of perishing sinners, so
that they might finally arrive at the haven of eternal
happiness ? (Loud cheers.) They were accused of being __, ___.... ... wt.), i,ligougii ins precious mood of atone. I jected that resolution, it was binding on the Dock Corn-
