PROTECTIONIST DEMONSTRATION IN ED IN GII

1 lie great demonstration among Inc rrotectionists
came off in the shape of a public dinner in the Music-
ball, Edinburgh, on Tuesday evening. About seven
hundred nertons dined, and a considerably greater num-
ber would have done so had it been possible to obtain
tickets. Between two and three hundred gentlemen were
present as speoators in the gallery, while on the platform
behind the chairman there might be about as many ladies.
The Earl of Eglintoint occupied the chair, and Lord .Tohn
Scott, M.P., discharged the duties of croupier. They
were supported, among others, by the Marquis of Ailsa,
Mr. G. F. Young, Major Cumming Bruce, M.P., Earl of
Selkirk, Earl of Lauderdale, Sheriff Alison, Professor
Aytoun, Mr. Christopher, M.P., Mr. Newdegate, M.P.,

In the first place, it is proposed that the patronage of a
portion of the benefices in the gift of the Lord High
Chancellor of England should be resigned in favour of the
proposed new parishes, and the value of the advowsons
applied in successive years to the erection of churches.
ShoLlld this he considered inexpedient, and the whole
of the Lord Chancellor's patronage be retained, the
undersigned would humbly express a hope that some
other mode may be devised, by the wisdom of your Ma.
jesty's Government, for giving the Chnrch, where her
ministrations are needed, the full benefit of these re-

sources.

The foregoing suggestions, however, for the extension'
of the parochial system, look not only to the actual re-
sources of the Church, but to the liberality of her mem-
bers. It rests with your Majesty's Government to set
the scheme in motion, it will remain for the people to
press it forward ; and if, in the localities where these
^ontemplated churches are to be founded, one-half of the
first cost should he supplied or procured by the congre-
gations, it would be in accordance with the spirit of the
Church Building Acts of Parliament, that, if it were de-

manner as to avoid the evils of a popular election. Tf
the blessed truths of the Gospel, and its civilising influ-
ence, can be brought within the reach of the great masses
of our labouring population, no slight objections, arising
from mere secular considerations, should arrest the steps
of a Christian Government ; and no sacrifice should be
considered too great to be made on the part of a Chris-
tian people.
The undo s

themselves the office of advisers, nor would they be un.
dersood as t 'pressing an opinion on ell the details of the
recommendations of your Majesty's Commissioners; bat

this address may be worthy of your Majesty's considera-
