exception of the woman, are night-men in the service of
Mr. Rose, and after receiving their wages- on Saturday
were guilty of disorderly conduct in Scotland-road. The
police with difficulty handcuffed one of the men, when

the peace. More than thirty officers were sent to the
scene. Mr. Rushton acquitted the female, and fined the
others 20s. and costs each.
THE IRON TRADE.--A very numerously attended
meeting of the iron trade was held at Glasgow, on Friday.

object of the meeting for the abolition of the scrip system.
Resolutions were passed to the effect that scrip should be
abolished, and storekeepers warrants substituted. A
committee was appointed to carry out the object of the
meeting, composed by gentlemen from London, Liver-
pool. Manchester, and of Glasgow.
MR. WALLIS'S COLLECTION OF PAINTINGS.—Since
we first noticed this fine collection of paintings, previously
to its removal for sale at Messrs. Winstanley's Rooms, it
has received a considerable addition of paintings, some of
them of a'very high class. Amongst them is Turner's
" Burning of the Houses of Parliament,".a splendid spe-
cimen ot the artist's gorgeous style of colouring, exercised
upon a subject eminently suited for the display. There
are also several excellent works of our most eminent
modern masters, including a fine picture by C. Stansfield,
R.A., specimens of A. Johnston, F. R. Lee, Shayer, sen.,
Newenham, T. Brooks, (a beautiful illustration from
Goldsmith's Deserted Village,) Boddington, S. R. Percy,
J. B. Pyne, D. Roberts, and others. The whole collec-
tion, which is now on view at No. 32, Church-street, is
well worthy a visit from connoiseurs.
DUVAL'S PAINTINGS OF "THE WIFE OF Jour; BUN-
YAN INTERCEDING WITH CHIEF JUSTICE HALE," AND
"JOHN BUNYAN'S PRISON LIFE."—We had yesterday
an opportunity of inspecting these two fine works of a
talented artist—Mr. T. G. Duval—at Mr. Gregg's Gal-
lery, Bold-street. The first, the intercession, is re-
markable for its boldness of execution, whilst, at the same
time, it is valuable as containing the likenesses, taken
from original paintings, of some of the chief actors in the
scene described. On the right of the foreground we have
Chief Justice Hale, an admirably painted portrait ; in the
centre Chief Justice Twisdem, the bitter prosecutor of
Bunyan, is painted with equal power. The noble wife
of Bunyan. who is in the act of making her spirited appeal
to Hale, who is evidently disposed to relent, and only con-
strained by a clerk pointing out the clause in the statute,
under which her husband is convicted, is also a portrait,
and a very tine one. The spectators and officers of the
court fill up the picture. The colouring and composition
are good ; and the details very carefully put in. The
companion picture of Bunyan in prison is also strikingly
effected. The prisoner is depicted in the act of parting
for the evening, at the summons of the gaoler, with his ,
poor blind son, the daily solace of his weary hours. The
composition is at once full of power and touching senti-
ment.
We observe that the paintings are being engraved
by an eminent artist, and will be sold at an unusually low
price.

DR. WISEMAN AND "THE DUKE."— NOW iS the time
for the great duke to play his card. When the Duke of
Wellington supported the Roman Catholic Emancipation
Bill in the House of Lords, his grace said—" It is impos-
sible to suppose that the small number of persons that
this measure will admit into this house, and the few who
may possibly obtain seats in the other house, can afford
any ground for apprehending danger from legislation to
the Church of Ireland—the Church of England in Ireland.
I entertain no doubt that after this measure shall have
been effected the Roman Catholics will no longer exist
as a separate interest in the state, as they at present do.
I hare no doubt that they will cease to excite disunion in
this and the other house of parliament. Parliament will
then, I hope, be disposed to look at their conduct, and
everything which respects that country, as they will look
upon the people and the affairs of England and Scotland.
I WILL SAY, HOWEVER, THAT IF I AM DISAPPOINTED
IN MY HOPES OF TRANQUILLITY, AFTER A TRIAL HAS
BEEN GIVEN OE THE MEASURE, I SHALL HAVE NO
SCRUPLE IN COMING DOWN TO PARLIAMENT AND LAY-
ING BEFORE IF THE STATE OF THE CASE, AND CALLING
FOR THE NECESSARY POWER TO ENABLE GOVERNMENT
TO TAKE THE STEPS SUITED TO THE OCCASION. I SHALL
DO THIS IN THE SAME CONFIDENCE THAT PARLIAMENT
WILL SUPPORT ME, THAT I DO IN THE PRESENT CASE."
The duke still lives ! The trial has been made ! His
hopes are blasted ! HIS PROMISE STANDS! Will his
grace now accept the challenge of Dr. Wiseman, and re-
deem his solemn pledge ? That is the point I aimed at.
Let the duke answer.—Letter from Mr. Oastler.

LATEST INTELLIGENCE
BY ELECTRIC TELEGRAPH.

LONDON, MONDAY
ROMISH AGGRESSION. NIGHT.
A densely crowded meeting of merchants, bankers,
tradesmen, and other citizens of London was held at the
Guildhall this 'afternoon, to protest against the recent
papal aggression. The Lord Mayor in the chair. J.
MASTERMAN, ESQ., M.P.- moved the first resolution--
" That in the opinion of this meeting the recent proceed-
ings of the Bishop of Rome, in assuming to himself autho-
rity to establish ecclesiastical dioceses in this country, and
to appoint archbishops and bishops to preside over the
same, is an invasion of the Queen's prerogative, an
attack on the constitution of the state, and an interference
with the affairs of this realm wholly inconsistent with its
national independence." (Loud cheers.)
It was seconded by Alderman THOMPSON, M.P. The
resolution having been put,
Mr. F. STINGER said he came forward as a Protestant,
and an enemy to Puseyism, to speak against the resolu-
tion, because the government had encouraged the Roman
Catholics. and he Queen's supremacy had been already
surrendered. He moved an amendment, but no one se-
conded it, and it fell to the ground.
The resolution was then put and carried unanimously.
Mr. CUMMINGS, a city merchant, next moved—" That
this meeting believes the great advancement made by the
nation during the last three centuries in all the elements
of national 'strength was owing to its deliverance from
the baneful influence offoreign ecclesiastical dominion."
This was seconded by Mr. WALKER.
Sir P. LAURIE proposed an addition, to the effect, that
greater danger-is to be apprehended from the unfaithful
teaching within the Established Church than from, any
hostility without.
It was seconded by. Alderman SYDNEY.
The Rev. Mr. PococK stepped forward to address the
meeting, but some one Cried " Ahern ! a Puseyite," and
he was greeted with terrific yells and cries of " No wax
candles," "No wafer Gods," "No Popery," " Off,
off," until the Lord Mayor drew forward, and, order
being restored, Mr. DAVID WYRE said he was sorry they
did not hear the rev. gentleman, who was chaplain to Mr.
Dodsworth, explain how he could reconcile his Puseyite
principles with those of the Church of England. The
resolution, with this addition, was then put and car-
ried unanimously.
Sir JAMES DUKE, M.P., moved that an address be
presented to her Majesty, praying her to resist the Papal
aggression, and he was gra ified at being able to tell them,
upon the authority of Lord John Russell, that her Ma-
jesty neither sympathised with Popery nor Puseyism.
(Cheers.)
The motion was seconded by Mr. HOARE, the banker
and carried by acclamation.

Mr. FowEi.l. BUXTON moved the address, which was
seconded by Mr. MATTREw CLARKE, and unaniu.ously
adopted.
After three cheers for the Queen, the meeting broke
up.
