GREAT PROTESTANT HALL

TO THE EDITOR OF THE LIVERPOOL STANDARD.

your last week's paper you give your readers
a short account of the state of Protestantism in the north
of England generally. That in the towns north of Liver-
pool it is in a very lukewarm condition, owing to the pre-
dominance of Puseyism, the twin sister of Popery ; but in
Liverpool and Manchester we are not so careless ; and
this zeal is no doubt, as you state, to be attributed to the
instruction given to the people on the soul-destroying and
dangerous doctrines of Popery, by our truly Church-of-
England, Evangelical, and Protestant clergy.

In days like these, Sir, when Popery is making a despe-
rate effort for domination, which was always from the be-
ginning of her sway over the nations deeply implanted in
her heart, it behoves us that we should " walk round the
bulwarks" of our Zion, and " tell the towers thereof;"
that we should not suffer the high vantage-ground of the
battle to be taken possession of by the emissaries of Rome,
who are coming over to our town by hundreds from the
Royal College of Maynooth (alas ! that we should call it
so!), and other such-like seminaries of instruction.
And I am very glad to know—also I am sure that my
Protestant brethren will rejoice with me—that a protec-
tive step has been taken in the right direction. By pla-
cards announcing a Grand Protestant Tea Party. to be
holden on the 4th November, at the Carpenters' Rooms,
Bond-street, our great leader. Dr. M'Neite in the chair, it
is stated that the proceeds of such party are to ha added
to the fund for building a Great Protestant Hall at the
north end of the town. This is the first intimation to
the public which I have seen that such an edifice was in
contemplation. The idea is a good one; and if the ap-
peal be openly and unreservedly made, we would not, I
calculate, be any great length of time in raising £4,000 or
£5,000, which amount would be quite sufficient for a large
and substantial building.

Mr. Editor, the gooci old town of Liverpool, and the
Protestantism thereof (which Protestantism is a subject
indissolubly connected with the annals of our loyal town),
will not yet give way to Popish plotters, or her Irish devo-
tees. Let them exaggerate* their numbers as they please,
and create rebellion and disorder just as they like, we for
our part will help to put them right again, and shew them
what is order and loyalty ; and, above all, if they will
hearken unto ns, " we will teach them the fear of the
Lord."—l am, Sir, your obedient servant, T. L.
October 31, 1851.

* At a meeting held in the School-room, Blackstock-street,
some time since, on the subject of establishing a Romish press
in Liverpool, the Rev. Father Carter in the chair, one of the
speakers deliberately stated there were 100,000,000 Catholics in
Liverpool ! I This is a fact which the Chairman himself
would not attempt to deny. I had a friend with me who can
prove the same if required. And to sliew that lie could not
mean at the time so many thousands, he afterwards said that
there were 150,000 strong, who would ere long have to fight
" foot to foot" (his own words) with their enemies (meaning,
of course, the Protestants). Other statements were made by
the Chairman himself, even more absurd than the above. Such
is the astounding ignorance of even their leaders.

THE MAYORALTY.

To the EDITOR of the LIVERPQpi STANDARD,

SIR,—A lady who speaks the sentiments of many others
of her sex, whose hearts are fraught with the remembrance
of the gallant deeds of Mr. Thomas Littledale, on the
melancholy occasion of the burning of the Ocean Monarch,
hopes to hear of that gentleman filling the civic chair
during the ensuing year ; and expects that the members
of our local parliament, by the generous number of their
votes, may triumphantly elect him their chairman, and
thus be the means of causing the 9th of November, 1851,
to be regarded as an auspicious epoch in the annals of
Liverpool. AUGUSTA.
