NOBLE DEMONSTRATION OF PROTESTANT FEELING.—
The memorial to her most gracious Majesty against the
insolent aggression of the Papacy, which was adopted at
the Protestant meeting held in the Corn Exchange,
Manchester, on the 4th ult., the Rev. Canon Stowell
in the chair, has been transmitted by the Lord Bishop of
Manchester for presentation to the Queen, signed by no
less than fifty-one thousand sir hundred names, repre-
senting not fewer than two-thirds of the population of
the town and environs. Nothing equal to this has ever
been accomplished in the way of petitioning, for the sig-
natures are genuine, and have been obtained almost
wholly by gratuitous effort. No excitement, no sheets
in the street have been employed. All has been sponta-
neous. The names thereof represent men ready to do
and to die for Protestantism ; men who will not be put
off with trimming temporising measures, but are resolved
to see Popery placed where alone it is safe—under whole-
some restraint.
