pected better things; still, I believe that all the Jesuits
in England, and they are not a few at present, cannot
succeed in Romanising the Established Church. (En-
thusiast;c cheers.) I would, however, take the liberty of
adding, with all due respect to the Most Rev. and the
Right Rev. Prelates of our Church, that if in trying
times like these, they leave the defences of our Zion in
the hands of the Protestant operatives, they are not
adopting the course likely to secure in the sequel that
well-balanced order, and that dignified moderation which
we all prefer. though we might not be able to maintain it.
(Cheers.) If, through forbearance carried too far, or
through the difficulty or impossibility of agreeing
among themselves, they refrain from " setting their
house in order," and from removing disorderly ser-
vants, by whom is the house to be set in order? • Peace-
ably, it seems impossible; and a different description of
sweeping is what none of us would advocate. We are
earnestly desirous therefore to see the right exercise
of authority in the church of God. Authority be-
longs to her officers, submission to her children ; and
I believe the officers of our church do not calculate, as
they might, upon the dutiful submission of her children,
if their authority were exercised as based upon the word
of God. (Hear, hear.) With regard to your second ob-
ject, I think the less that is said in public about your
proceedings upon that point the better; but I would
earnestly entreat you to practise kindness and gentleness

in all your conversational controversies. I would entreat

ness of God." Remember that, speaking face to face

astonishment, within three or four days I was restored to

and now enjoy better health, if possible, than I ever did

with them, they may mistake your honest indignation
against their system for personal anger or ill-feeling
against themselves. And therefore you should restrain
your expressions even of honest indignation against
their system in the hope of winning a fair hearing
from them to what you have to say for your own.
(Hear.) Example is a more powerful teacher than
the best of precepts, and " a soft answer turneth away
wrath." I know and am willing to admit to you how
difficult it is to be calm when the heart is engaged,
when zeal inflames the tongue ; but it is the preroga-
tive of the real Christian, in whom the Spirit of God
dwells, to combine discretion and self-restraint with zeal.
(Hear, hear.) I speak to you then, as to persons engaged
from day to day in controversy, amicably, with Roman
Catholics, and I entreat you to have respect to their feel-
ings, though you cannot respect the falsehoods they have
been educated in ; have respect to their feelings, and use
language which shall convey your own sentiments without
wounding their feelings or causing you the loss of their
attention. (Hear, and applause.) In the third branch of
your object—in pursuing that, you have met with dis-
couragements, disappointments, defeats. Be not cast
down. Success, though animating, is not, and never was,
the measure of duty. Remember that the God whom we
serve, and on whom it is our peace and strength to de-
pend, has instructed us in his holy word " that the hearts
of kings and princes are in his rule and governance, and
that he disposes and turns them as it seemeth best to His
godly wisdom," and now, at this time, I earnestly entreat
you, my Christian brethren, to present the heart of our
gracious sovereign before the King of kings, imploring
him to guide it and support it, and to direct her through
the painful crisis in which she is placed. One part
of her great men unable to keep, and another part
unable to make, a cabinet—at this moment where lies
the responsibility of the government ? (Hear, hear.)
We are in a sort of interregnum. Painful to every one of
right feeling, it must be doubly painful to her Majesty.
Pray God to preserve her in peace, and give her wisdom,
and judgment, and discretion in all the interviews that
noble lords, right honorable baronets, dukes, and mar-
quises may have with her pending the present negocia-
tions ! (Cheers.) It is not a state of things upon which
any man who loves his country might speak rashly ; it is
a state of things calling for seriousness and prayer more
than for public declamation. What are we to have, or
what can we have? It seems impossible for a Whig ad-
ministration to govern the country with the present Par-
liament, and if the noble lord for whom her Majesty has
sent—for whom her Majesfy, I humbly conceive, was
compelled in a certain sense to send when her late respon-
sible advisers left her en masse—if, I say, that noble lord
should succeed in forming a Cabinet, what is he to do
with the Parliament? (Hear, hear.) The next step
would be a dissolution of Parliament, which throw's upon
as many of us as are electors the discharge of a Christian
duty, concerning which I have more than once given you
the best instruction in my power, instruction, I believe,
derived from the pages of revelation. (Cheers.) I
would refer you, my friends, to the pages of the tract
entitled England's Cicesar, and intreat you to put its
principles into operation, in the discharge of the duty
which may presently fall upon you as electors in this great
kingdom. (Cheers.) But a very different course these
negotiations may take. It may turn out that such a
cabinet cannot be formed with any reasonable prospect of
success, and then a coalition may take place : some of the
members of the late cabinet may join with members of the
new one; and then we shall have a trial, upon the first
meeting of parliament, whether such a junction cabinet
can stand or not. They may prolong for a few weeks the
appeal to the people. It seems at present as if that must
come at last. And, when it does come ! (Hear, herr.)
You know very well, my Christian friends, the repug-
nance we have all along bad to the notion of pledged de-
legates instead of free representatives being sent to par-
liament. In all matters of minor moment, in all matters
belonging to human policy which may vary with circum-
stances, without interfering with fundamental principles,
I hold it to be a violation of the British constitution to
ask candidates for our representation in parliament to
pledge themselves in detail; but upon some points of
deep and vital importance—upon matters which affect the
religion of the country, the stability of the church, and, as
I humbly believe, the stability of the throne and the mo-
narchy, I think it is the constitutional right of an English-
man to take what steps be can to be sure that he will not
put in his name at the polling-booth in support of men
who will pull down those bulwarks, or aid in doing so.
(Enthusiastic cheers.) And, therefore, I certainly would
advise you—as many of you as are invested with the highly
responsible charge of the elective franchise—not to pro-
mise. You will be applied to by and by, perhaps, but in
an apparently casual way in conversation, just to make a
conditional promise. I advise you to make no promise.
Keep your own counsel. Make no promise until the
whole case is before you. (Cheers.) But this, 1 think,
we are at liberty, nay, in duty bound, to ask of any man
who comes to ask us to support him, " Tell us now, not
what you think as an individual about Romanism, but tell
us what you will do as a legislator about it." (Cheers.)
" Suppose the session of 1846 or of 1817 should produce
a bill for the endowment of Roman Catholic priests in
Ireland, which we were told must follow the endowment
of Maynooth College, tell us honestly, like a fine fellow
as you are, how you will vote ?" (Hear, and cheers.)
" Will you, no matter who the Minister is, or who
are in the government,—for in this mattr it does not
signify a fraction—will you raise your voice, or, if you
cannot raise your voice, write a letter which shall be your
4irotest, or in some way or other pleege yourself to vote
against any such measure as shall identify the endowment
of error with the national council of Great Britain ?"
(Loud Cheers.) One thing more and I have done.
There is a pledge I should be very glad to have from cer-
tain honourable gentlemen or noble lords who may ask
our suffrages at the next election—" Will you, if no
other member of the house gives notice before Easter

I beg, also, to inform you that my aged mother (now
nearly seventy) has been affected with a difficulty in
breathing for upwards of ten years, especially in the
morning and early part of the day, and was induced to try
the Lozenges. She accordingly commenced taking them
about six weeks ago, and has already experienced such
incalculable relief in the part affected, as well as from the
healing principle evinced in the regulation of the digestive
organs, that she feels it her incumbent duty and great
pleasuce to convey her testimony of esteem, admit ation,
and gr6.titude for the change that has taken place; again,

was a Divine truth that " the Lord of hosts was with us,

fail and defections might take place, but those who put
their trust in God had every thing to hope far. (Loud

The Rev. F. PARRY moved the third resolution, to the
effect that the members and friends of the association
sympathised with their Protestant brethren in Ireland
The rev. gentleman spoke with eloquence
to the question.
Mr. Councillor JAMES PARKER seconded the motion
in a manly address, in the course of which he congratu-
lated the meeting on the Protestant principles that per-
vaded the Council, and paid a high compliment to Mr.
Alderman Horsfall for his strong and unanswerable refu-
tation of the imputations cast upon the School Committee.

for some time, and in a most impressive strain, on the
proper use of the Bible, and the immutable purposes of
God therein expounded. He entered into the very depths

the pathos of his diction and de'ivery commanded the
silent and reverential attention of his auditory ; but from
the lateness of the hour, and the importance of the subject
we cannot attempt a repot t. The meeting which was en-
thusiastic throughout then sang a doxology, and the
Chairman having pronounced a blessing, dispersed to their
several homes.
