THE NATIONAL CLUB.

A meeting of the members and friends of this society
was held on Saturday at 12 o'clock, in Willis's-rooms,
and there was rather a full attendance of ladies and gen-
tlemen upon the occasion. Lord Kenyon presided, and
among the company were the Earl of Charleville, Lord
Combermere, Sir B. Bridges, Sir D. Mackworth, Sir J.
Nasmyth, Colonel Verner, M.P., Mr. Spooner, M.P.,
Mr. Colquhoun, M.P. Mr. Bennett, Mr. Plumptre,
M.P., Mr. Frewen, M.P., Mr. Rashleigh, M.P., E.
Grogan, M.P., the Rev. Dr. O'Sullivan, the Rev. R.
M'Ghee and others. The following resolutions were
agreed to by the meeting :—" 1. That the recent endow-
ment of Maynooth forms part of a series of measures cal-
culated for the encouragement of Popery, the discourage-
meta of Protestantism, and the ultimate endowment of
the Church of Rome. 2. That the bills introduced into
Parliament by the Lord Chancellor and Mr. Watson for
relaxing the Act of Supremacy, peimiting the publishing
of Popish bulls, the open exhibition of the ceremonies of
the Romish Church, encouraging the progress of the order
of the Jesuits, and permitiing the Romish hierarchy to
assume the titles and dignity of the prelates of the Estab-
lishment, tends to subvert the Protestant constitution of
the empire, and are opposed to the supremacy of the
British Crown. 3. Thit the bills for the administration
of charitable trusts vest in commissioners appoiated at
the pleasure of the Lord Chancellor a summary and in-
quisitorial power over the funds and proceedings of chari-
table trustees, encroaching on private and personal rights,
and is injurious to the true exercise of charity. 4. That
this meeting acknowledges the importance of united ex-
ertions to carry out the principles of the National Club,
and for that purpose invites zealous co-operation for the
great objects of maintaining the Protestant Church and
constitution, and raising the religious and social condition
of the people.
The Secretary read letters from several noblemen and
gentlemen who were unable to attend the meeting ; also
a letter from the Rev. Hugh M`Neile, of which the
following is a copy : .

" Liverpool. April 27.
Sir,—The documents which I have received from you this
morning appear to change essentially the chatacter, or at least
what I supposed to be the character, of your approa, ping meet-
ing. The letters I had previously received led me to imagine
that it was to be a Protestant meeting in the ordinary a,cepta-
tion of the term. I know n thing of the Charitable Trusts Bill,
or of its probable operation, as descr bed in the resolution you
hwe • ent me. lam aware you do not wish me to speak on that
particular mioltition, but I am unwilling (I hope not unreason-
ably so) to be mixed up with a discussion upon a subject with
which I am altogether unacquainted, and concerning which it
is quite possible that, were I duly inform d. I might not be
able to coincide with the sentiments expressed in the resolu-
tion. As your meeting is to be a political one, involving a dis-
cussion of miscellaneous topics, such as the alleged despotic en-
croachments by the Government on private and corporate rights,
I feel it my duty not to lose a post in withdrawing the consent
which, in my letter of Friday last. I gave to take part in it. I
hope you will not have made any public announcement of my
name before you receive this; but if you have I must beg you
to give similar publicity to this letter.
•• I am, my dear sir, yours faithfully.

HUGH M'NEILE."

Mr. Colquhoun, in the course of his speech, adverted
to the impossibility which be and his friends had felt,
notwithstanding political associations, of acceding to the
principles and measures of Government in regard to the
church. He also dwelt upon the circumstance that minis-
ters appeared to be influenced in their recent policy, not
by the Roman Catholic people, but by the bishops of that
religion in Ireland, who were members of a league the
most powerful and concentrated in the world, and to
which the league of which lately so much had been heard
as overpowering the Government and Parliament of Eng-
land was as much inferior in talent and authority as were
manufacturers of Manchester to the collected intellect of
Europe.
Lord Combermere said he had always opposed Ro-
rnanism, and having bad an opportunity of seeing its
baneful effects in Ireland, he would continue to oppose it
on every occasion where he had a vote.
The Rev. R. J. M`Ghee said he rejoiced to see the
noble and gallant lord coming forward to vindicate the
cause of religious truth. (Hear.) He did not believe
that ever a public meeting was convened on a more im-
portant subject than they were called upon that day to con-
sider. The question of the resolution (No. 2) was this,
whether, under the semblance of a false pretext, great and
disastrous evils should be inflicted on the constitution of
England ?—(hear, hear)—not merely an organic change in
the constitution, but whet! er, in point of fact, a death-
blow should be given to the religion of the country?
(Hear.) The necessary operation of certain measures
which had been introduced into parliament recently was
to place under the sanction of the British law a code of
secret tyranny unknown to and abhorrent from the British
constitution. (Cheers.) They would introduce into this
country over all her Majesty's Roman Catholic subjects a
power superior to the law of the land, above the authority
of the crown itself, and above the power of the legislature
—(applause)—a system of secret treason, which it was the
duty of all her Majesty's subjects to endeavour to repress.
(Applause.) There were two things to be remarked in the
bill brought by the Lord Chancellor into the House of
Lords. The first was the title of the bill, and the next
was the authority on which it was introduced. It was en-
dorsed '' Religious Opinions' Relief." He sustiected the
very name of the bill. (Hear.) It was one of the infidel
developments of Popery, invented by Mr. O'Connell for
the purpose of imposing upon the people of this country—
that indeed no man should be deprived of political power
for the mere religious opinions he entertained, and that in
fact the only thing we had to look to were men's acts. Ile
never knew a more dangerous or more awful principle than
that. (Hear, hear.) The revealed truth of the Eternal
God presents to the immortal soul of man facts of the
deepest and of everlasting interest. (Applause.) There
could be no appeal from faith learned from the Scrip-
tures except it was made by those who had no re-
ltion. But the danger was increased when they considered
the authority by which the bill was presented to parlia-
ment. It was said to have been presented by the Lord
Chancellor, and when they reflected upon the subject,
and learned that it related to the laws of England, they
must view the circumstances with the most aggravated
apprehension; for who would presume to place his
opinion in opposition to that of the Lord Chancellor on
any subject connected with the statutes of the realm, or
who could suppose that that high functionary would intro-
duce anything into the law which would affect the authority
of the Crown, or the 1 berty of the subject ? The cha-
racter, the station, the talents of the Lord Chancellor
forbade the least suspicion that he would be guilty of an
inten'ional violation, in any enactment, of the law.
But here lay the evil. The Lord Chancellor undertook
to legislate by the law of England for the laws of Rome;
and if he was not thoroughly acquainted with the one, no
matter how deeply he may be versed in the other. He
(the Rev. Mr: M'Ghee) believed the Lord Chancellor had
been practised on by some deep, designing Jesuit; for it
would be as far from truth and fact that the learned lord
would lay his hand on the statute books and call them
the religious opinions of the Protestants of England, as
that he should introduce a bill, founded on the bulls of
Rome, and call them the opinions of the Roman Catholic
subjects of the Queen. Without at all attempting to
derogate from the high character and legal attainments of
the Lord Chancellor, he would say that a greater man—
he meant Mr. Pitt—had sent forth questions involving
the liberties of this country to the Roman Catholic uni-.
versities of Europe ; and those questions, while they
bore the stamp of Mr. Pitt's authority, were in point of
fact sent forth by a Roman Catholic lawyer in the city of
London, of the name of Charles Butler. The rev.
gentleman then read several of the bulls of the Pope, and
argued that they were totally inimical to the Act of
Supremacy, and ought not to be tolerated where Pro-
testant institutions existed. The reverend gentleman
went on to o'aserve that neither in France, Spain, Austria,
nor any other Catholic country, could any of the Pope's
bulls be published until the governments of those coun-
tries respectively had examined them, and issued a fiat of
permission ; and the reason was, that those governments
knew that if they allowed full sway to the papal powers
in their dominions, the ecclesiastical power must soon
necessarily overturn the civil power, and all the rights
and lands which those countries enjoyed would be brought
into subjection to the Pope.

The Rev. F. P. Parry, 8.D., is announced to deliver a
lecture in the Toxteth Hall on Monday evening next, on
" The Bishop of Rome bath no jurisdiction in this realm
of England."

BlGAMY.—Yesterday. Edward Darcy, a seafaring man,
was brought up on a charge of bigamy. It appeared from
the statements of the witnesses, that the prisoner was
married on the 11th July, 1836, to Mary Ann Hall, at
St. James's Church, Liverpool, and again in January,
1843, to Mary Brown, at St. Peter's Church, the former
wife being still alive. The prisoner was apprehended on
Saturday by police constable Ainsworth, at a house in
Maguire-street. The certificates of marriage were uro-
duced. The prisoner was committed for trial.—The first
wife was then taken into custody, and brought up on a
similar charge to that preferred against Darcy. The evi-
dence went to show that on the 24th February, 1845, she
was married to Charles Oakes, a mariner, at St. Nicholas'
Church, in the name of Mary Ann Darcy. The certifi-
cate was produced. She also waa committed for trial.

TELEGRAPHIC DISPATCII.
(From Yesterday's Herald.)
The treaty of peace between the India Company and
the Alaharajah of Lahore was signed at Lahore the 9th
March. By Art. 3, the Maharajah cedes to the Company
all the territory comprised between the rivers Bess and
Sutlej. By Art 4, the Maharaj lb, finding it impossible
to complete the payraent of the indemnity agreed upon,
cedes to the Company all the mountain territory com-
prised between the Bess and the Indus, enclosing the
provinces of Cachmere and Mazarah. By Art. 5, the in-
demnity to be paid by the Maharajah is settled at fifty
lacs of rupees. In a word, the Company obtains by
Art. 10 the right of passage across the territory of Lahore
by the troops whenever required. By Art. 12, the Maha-
rajah recognises Goolab Singh as independent sovereign
of the territory which he at present possesses, and of
whatever the Company shall choose to cede to him here-
after.

On the I6th of March a counter-treaty was signed at
Umritter, between the Company and the Maharajah
Goolab Singb.
By Art. 1 the Company cedes to Goolab Singh the ter-
ritory at the east of the Indus and west of the Rave.

Art. 3 stipu'ates the payment to the Company by
Goolab Singh of 1:800,000.
By Art. 6 Goolab Singh engages to join all his troops to
those of the Company in the operations which may take
place within the limits of the Company's territory.
By Article 10 Goolab Singh recognises the supremacy
of England, in testimony of which he will pay annually to
the English government eleven goats and six Cachmere
mules.

THE INSUR ttEC fIUN IN SPAIN.
On Saturday accounts were received from Madrid tO
the 25th ult. The news from Galicia received by the
government continued to be of a favourable nature. The
people had nowhere joined the insurrection. On the 21st
General Concha marched from Orensi upon Santiago, to
attack the rebels commanded by Solis, whilst Brigadier
Blaser was to operate against the insurgents at Vigo.
The squadron destined to blockade this last harbour sailed
from Corunna on the lith.

The Eco del Comercio quotes a letter from Logrono of
the 21st, stating thst during the night the police had en-
tered the houses of the farmer commander of the Carab!-
niers, Isourraguire, and the administrator of Espartero.a
property, Tomas Alonso. and ordered the first to repair
forthwith to Pampeluna, and the latter to Bilboa.
Se-
veral other inhabitants had likewise been banished.
In addition to the above, the Morning Herald of yes-
terday gives the following, received by extraordinary ex-
press :—Concha entered Lugo the 2Gth ult., and took 300
prisoners. Lugo was the first to raise the standard of re-
bellion.

CHESTER RACES.
(FROM OUR OWN CORRESPONDENT.)

CHESTER, 8 o'Clock, Monday Evening.
The good old town, as usual, is as busy as can be, every
thing on the qui vice, and, as usual, continual changes are
being made. All:rough a better meeting was never anti•
cipated than the coming one, the Cup is the whole talk,
and the amount of starters expected to be not less thal
thirty, some say thirty-five: a good field certain, wiT
more starters than will be pleasant, when each is in searoi
of a good place, and pot-luck is likely to be the dish of the
day—every man to his own " sow's pick."
The town-folks are in high glee about the quanlatO
stiff, of engagemen,s, every bed and other restiable being
bespoke. What will become of the entire strangers? The
citizens will no doubt make room, and shift for themselves
somehow or other ; but not without making the late ones
pay the piper.
The arrivals were this season later than usual. Fin-
varagh, only, shewed on Friday ; Saturday brought /0
more, and Sunday wonders. A larger or better meeting
could not have ben anticipated than was then made cer-
tain of; and the unusual quantity of strangers, and, t°
boot, " racers," caused the cits to look up. The fashion'
able world have not yet arrived, although some sprinkling
of the lords came yesterday, to see the sweating thin
morning. To-morrow will bring the elite, and to.night
will very nearly disclose the secrets of many stables"'
what is here, and what is not. At present the following
have arrived :—Wadlow has eleven, Dawson fourteen'
Scott five (including Hope), Price three, Lord Georg°
Bentinck five, Wm. Scott two ; from other stablest
Connaught Ranger, Wittonian, Ruff, Miss Burns, Vol'
au-Vent, Miles's Boy, Dipthong, and Mostyn's five, 84C'
&c. There will in all probability be from eighty to one
hundred horses in all. This morning nearly every animal
on the course looked well, and various anxious eyes nav
rowly watched their manoeuvres. Of the lot, Ruff.tolt
my fancy ; the Baron next ; Roper's Daughter an
Magnet followed. Out of these four I presue
the winner will come for the cup,—SweetmeatlS
very small and looks rather "weedy"—Hope not up ti
the mark—Pedometer the same—Billy Purvis, whore
did not see, lam told looks well ; so does Polish. Of
the lot of Irishers I would stand on Finvaragh, the otbe'
cracks I hardly think are worthy of notice. I maY,.e
wrong but am content to risk it. I have given this in 0;
Irish way, beginning at where I ought nearly to 11E,,c,
ended, but I trust I may not be the worse prophet 10'
that.
The Grosvenor stakes will go with Burlesque first and
Lightning second.
Sweepstakes of 5 sovs. to Druid.
Queen's guineas, Lightning or Khorassan.
Third day,—Wirral stakes, Camelia or Princess Alit
must bear the palm of victory away. Of the othe
matters for contention, the course seems best suited for,
small outlays, and for the reason that parties, if they have,
patience, may always have a race for their money.
The incessant rain which has fallen during the day bss
materially affected the state of the turf matters, and bra
brought about considerable chances—a portion of
..I.°'
" non-thought-ofs " having come into favour. The
course is now very heavy—a state of things much vrishe,
for by same, and lamented by others. But the freaks ot
Nature will come and v;sit Chester, too,
in its great troll'
day affairs, " in spite o' them a'."
ring
Should the rain continue, alterations will be Wur
od,
momentarily ; and the old adage may still bold go
" Keep your powder dry."
