MEETING OF THE PROTESTANT INHABITANTS
OF KIRKDALE.

Yesterday evening a large and highly respectable m6et-
ing of the ratepayers of Kirkdale was held in the school-
room in connexion with St. Mary's Church, for the pur-
pose of addressing her Majesty on the recent papal
aggression. Amongst the parties present we observed
Alderman Dover, Councillors Aked, Mellor, Hudson, and
Freme, Messrs. Ham pson, Theakstone, Roskell, Buckley,
Parnall, Parker, Howard, Pickop, Risien, Fraser, and
Walker, and other influential gentlemen connected with
the township. A few ladies were present.
Mr. Churchwarden ROSKELL, of St. Mary's Church,
was called to the chair.
The CHAIRMAN, in opening the proceedings, said, that
as senior churchwarden of the township of Kirkdale he
cheerfully took the chair. He was sorry that circum-
stances had occurred which called for such a meeting as
that ; but he was happy to say that they were acting on
the defensive and not on the offensive. (Hear, hear.)
Quiescence on this matter would be tantatamount to
acquiescence ; and, therefore, however painful it might be
to bring forward religious matters and differences amongst
them, still on an important question, such as the one
which had called them together, they were bound to deal
with things as they found them. (Hear, hear.) He then
read the placard calling the meeting. In continuation,
in an energetic address, he condemned the recent move-
ment of the Pope of Rome, and concluded by calling upon
Mr. MELLOR, one of the counillors for the ward, who
moved the first resolution. From the large meeting there did
not seem to be one dissentient opinion on the subject
which had called them together. They did not interfere
with Roman Catholics ; but when an attack was made
upon them, it behoved them to come forward and declare
their opinions. He had been called upon to move the
resolution, which will be found in our advertising columns.
Mr. AIM), another of the councillors of the ward,
seconded the motion. He most heartily concurred in it.
There had been so much said on the subject already in
different parts of the country, that he would not say more
than that it behoved them to see that Puseyism was not
to be made a medium of the Romish Church over them
them as Protestants. (Loud cheering.) He cordially
seconded the motion.

Mr. PARKER then made a most able and eloquent ad-
dress in favour of the object of the meeting, and, in sup-
porting the resolution, forcibly expressed his feelings on
the crisis at hand. He trusted that the spirit which was
now evinced would not cease until Protestant ascendancy
was reinstated in the Government of the country. He
advanced numerous quotations illustrative of the errors
of popery, and recapitulated many leading facts connected
with the recent movement, which he opposed, not only
as a religious but as a political agent. After bringing
forward some of the corrupt practices of the Church of
Rome, he expressed his confident opinion that as Protest-
ants, they would not be led away by them. They relied
upon common sense, and on those principles which were
most dear to every Protestant heart, and to that which
the Church of Rome had always been afraid to place in
the hands of her adherents—the bible freely calculated
amongst the people. (Hear, hear, and loud applause.)
The speaker then referred to the manner in which Dr.
Wiseman had recently attempted to dissemble with the
Rev. Dr. Cumming in reference to the oath taken by
Roman Catholic bishops ; and after exposing the un-
changeable spirit of persecution adopted by the Romish
Church, concluded an eloquent address by calling upon
the meeting to resist the insolent pretensions of the Papal
See. The speaker, on resuming his seat, was loudly
cheered.

The resolution was passed amidst the most deafening
beers.

Mr. JOHN WALKER proposed the next resolution. He
did think, after what had been conceded by this country
to the Church of Rome, the recent step adopted by the
Pope would not have been taken, but as he had adopted
it, it now remained for this country to say what course
was to be pursued. He trusted that the effect of the re-
sistance offered by the Government and the country would
be to uproot Popery altogether out of the land. ( Tre-
mendous cheering.) He concluded by reading a memo-
rial, for which see advertisement.

Alderman Dov Ea. seconded the resolution. He con-
gratulated the meeting on its proving that if there was a
feeling of loyalty wanting in some parts of England. it did
not exist in Kirkdale. (Loud cheers.) After alluding to
the Puseyite and pseudo Romish practices adopted in some
of the churches belonging to the Established Church, he
Proceeded to observe that it was not the case in Kirkdale.
Tt was clear to him that s ,und Protestantism, which em-
braced sound liberty, had formed a prominent point in
the teaching of the incumbent of Kirkdale. (Cheers.)
It was to him most extraordinary that any foreign poten-
tate should at this time of day attempt to dictate to the
crown and to the people of England—(hear, hear;)—and
still more extraordinary was it to him that the Pope of
Rome should attempt to do it. (Hear, hear.) His sub-
jects did not number one-tenth—nay, if the colonies were
included, not one-hundredth part—of the subjects of the
Queen of this country; and therefore it did astonish him,
that a power so defective, as compared with England,
should attempt so to dictate to this nation. (Hear, hear.)
With regard to this aggression, which he looked upon in
a political more strongly than in a religious view, he con-
sidered it an attempt to interfere with the prerogative of
the crown in this country to confer honours. (" Hear,
hear," and cheers.) If we did not resist this attempt of
the Pope, it would not be long before we found him
attempting to force his bishops into the House of
Lords. (Hear, hear.) After some general illustrations
of the injurious influences of the Church of Rome, Mr.
Dover said, that if we wished to purge this country of
Romanism, we must be more united than we had been—
(hear, hear)—as anxious to find out in what we agreed,
as unhappily we had lately been to find out in what we
differed. (Loud cheers.) Mr. D. then severely con-
demned the teaching of some of the tutors of rich stu-
dents at Oxford. He insisted that many of these tutors
were actually Jesuits in the Church, whose business it
was to instil their Romish principles into the minds of
their pupils. In illustration of this statement, lie re-
ferred to a young student with whom he was acquainted,
and whose course lie had closely watched, who was now
a member of the Romish Church. Mr. Dover concluded,
amidst enthusiastic cheering, by calling upon the meeting
to vindicate the supremacy of the Queen, and deter-
minedly to resist the innovations of Rome.

The resolution, on being put to the meeting, was car-
ried with acclamation.

H. THEAKSTONE, Esq., the other churchwarden, next
moved an address to Lord John Russell. After reading
the address, he said he was of opinion that they were
under a deep debt of gratitude to Lord Jain Russell. To
his patrcnlge we owed some of the bt st of our bishops',
including two archbishops ; and in his other appointments
Lord John Russell had been influenced by the piety and
fitness of those he had selected. (Cheers.) With Lord. J.
Russell's general conduct, however, they could not agree.
His proceedings, indeed, were singularly inconsistent.
They could not understand why he had conceded so much

o ropery, as it was really so inconsistent with what his
lordship so boldly said now—(hear, hear)—but they were

his views. It must be so. The people throughout the
land had spoken out—they would not have Pop

y either
)„..—...,,,

resounded throughout the country, shelving that no priest,
whether Anglican or Romish, should bear rule. (Loud
cheers.) _

The Rev. RD. PILKTNGTON, curate of Kirkdale, se-
conded the address. Ho observed that they owed a deep
debt of gratitude to Lord John Russell for his letter,
although it was a very different letter than he had ex-
pected from him, and a very different letter from any the
people of this_ country expected from him. It proved

that his lordship, like many other Protes

country, had been mistaken in his notions of the princi-
fples of Popery. The speaker condemned the government
or encouraging Popery in Ireland, and at the conclu-
sion of a poxerful speech was most vehemently cheered.
The Rev. D. JA➢iES, M.A., supported the resolution,
observing that be did not wish to take part in the meet-
ing, thinking it better that it should be confined to lay-
men.

The resolution was carried unanimously, and a vote of
thanks passed to the Chairman. The meeting, which
was throughout of the most enthusiastic character, ter-
minated about half-past nine o'clock.

A FREtifi FISH FACTORY.—" The Fisheries' are
worth a little notice. A Scotch gentleman, I believe; the
agent of the estate, has here established a sort of ' fresh
fish factory ;' i. e., he prepares, after a fashion of his
own, fresh fish for any of the most distant markets. A
river runs hence into the sea, passing the fishery, on its
way to the sea, a mile or two distant. (here are some
buildings erected close to a bend in this river ; in one
building there were all the various descriptions of inge-

mous machinery necessary in the manufacture of tin
cases ; one boy cuts out the body of the case, another,
with another machine, punches out the top and bottom,
another forms the rims, another solders the sides and the
bottom together so as to form a case, only wanting the
top. It was curious to see bow the Scotch foreman had
got his staff of young tinkers busily employed, find how
expeditiously they did their work. In another building
are a certain number of boilers superintended by a woman.
Presently a signal is given that there are fish ; a boat is

manned, and a long net quickly run out, so as to sweep
a pool made by a bend of the river ; we saw at one haul
some twenty salmon of salmon trout brought in. They
are at once washed, and with very little mutilation put
• A• •

into tin cases, in certain we 4
so quickly are they put out of t

as it may be

as a workman described it, ' you may see them a panting
as we puts the tops on.' The top once on the case, it is
instantly soldered on ; in short, portions of the fish, or a
whole fish, as it may be, are hermetically sealed up in a
tin shroud or shrouds before he can scarcely believe ho is
out of the water, and now into the water he goes again,
but this time he is in hot water.' He is tenderly boiled
under the mild superintendence of the boiler woman.
After having undergone this ordeal he is ready for expor-
tation ; he may be eaten at Liverpool or on board a trans-
atlantic steamer; he may be eaten off Cape Horn or at
the London Tavern : he is simply for sale in a travelling
costume, warranted to produce him fresh whenever and
wherever he is undressed from his armour to be dressed
for dinner. Lobsters, oysters, and milk are all here pre-
pared in the same way, and if one can ju 'ge fio n the
mass of oyster-shells which are heaped upon the spot, the
demand for stewed oysters must be very large. The pro-

prietor of the factory assured us ti

the demand was

greater than he could supply, for the fishing was very un-
certain, some seasons being far more favourable than
others. There are large salmon weirs in connection with
this establishment. In one way or another a great num-
ber of hands are employed at these fisheries: it is a wild
place, but worth a visit, especially I should suppose in
the season to those fond of fishing, as there is exceller.t
river-fishing for some miles.—Gleanings in the West of
Ireland.
