of Protestantism—(Loud cheers for some time, and Kent-

ple, which id THE PRINCIPLE upon which the throne of
England is based. (Applause.) It is the principle upon
which the British constitution is based,—it is the princi-
ple upon which our rights and liberties are based, and it
is the principle upon which civil and religious liberty is
alone secured to us. (Continued applause.) And I tell
you, because I know the dangers that are accumulating.
that it behoves you, if you love your country, if you love
your homes, if you love your wives and families, it you
still hold dear your father land, be prepared to withstand
that horrid principle of expediency and conciliation which
the present government is endeavouring to carry out.
(Loud cheers.) You all know the estimation in which
this is held by the great leaders of the agitation in Ire-
land. Mr. Shiel, you are aware, has been present
in the House of Commons during the Session, and has
discussed certain conciliatory measures which Sir Robert
Peel has brought forward, and what does he say ? He
says, " We never asked you for the Maynooth Grant,
we never asked you for a system of Irish Education, we
never asked you for your Bequests Act, but what we ask
of you is this (and I have his words. and I quote them,
and if ever there was a text from which to make a good
Protestant speech, it is this)—What will content us?

swear, b.o.ur Lord
Jesus Christ, who suffered for us oni ty he cross, and by the
blessed Virgin Mary, that I will burn, destroy, and mur-
der all heretics, up to my knees in blood. So help me
God." (Hear, hear.) Now, at the risk of being tedious
he (the speaker) would venture ,Jpon another quotation,
and he defied all the Papists to disprove these facts,—
facts which had never yet been contradicted. It related
to the massacre of Seullabogue. [The speaker then read
the extract, but we are compelled to omit it.] Before he
concluded, however, he wished to call their attention to
the battle of Wexford, related by the same authority.
There a number of prisoners were brought on the bridge,
and after being impaled on the pikes of the rebels by scores,
were dropped into the river beneath. (Hear, hear.) He
therefore called on them firm!), to tell Sir Robt.' Peel that
he should go no further, and in conclusion urged uoon
the meeting the necessity of firmly abiding by their Pro-
testant principles. (Loud cheers.) The speaker con-
cluded by proposing the following resolution :
That this meeting regard with thankfulness the blessings which
have resulted from the triumph of Protestant principles, achieved,
on the occasion which we this day commemorate, by our glorious
deliverer, William 111. Prince of Orange, and their steady main-
tenance through several reigns by our Sovereigns, his successors;
and believing firmly that a nation can only be sustained from above,
and will only be sustained so long as it holds fast the truth, cannot
but view with alarm and regret the falling sway from truth, which
characterizes the conceding policy of the present Government and
the laxity of principle which is unhappily spreading amongst the
constituencies, and which we feel assured is calculated to shake the
stability of our Protestant institutions and to bring down God's
judgment upon this great country.
T. J. OUSLEY, Esq., of Shrewsbury, in rising to second
the motion, was received with loud and long continued ap-
plause. It afforded him a very considerable degree of
pleasure to be saluted as the seconder of the resolution,
that proposed by his friend Mr. Allday. He was conviec,,d
anything he could say would not add to the effect which
had been produced by the eloquence of that gentleman,
and therefore he would content himself with adding that
he entirely coincided in what had fallen from him.
(Cheers.) They were banded together to uphold the
great national cause of England, (Cheers.) He cared
not what a man might be, whether Whlg, Tory, or
Radical, Churchman or Dissenter, for there was some-
thing above mere politics in the holy cause in which they
were engaged ; lie called on all to unite in maintaining
the glorious principles on which England bad risen to her
present eminence. (Cheers.) Was it not singular
to see Sir Robert Peel and the present govern-
ment actually supporting the principles they so
energetically condemned when cut of office. (Hear.)
Lord John Russell was then wont to designate history as
an old almanack, a sentiment much ridiculed by Sir
Robert Peel, but now the right hon. baronet was not
merely saving, but actually treating all history from 1688

AN ORANGE CANARY !—We must realty change the
colours of the creation, if we must concilia.e Popery. On
Saturday, (the twelfth of July,) a poor fellow in Mary.
bone had his innocent canary out of doors, and was
threatened by the rampant papists of the neighbourhood
that if it was not taken in, or the poor bird did not cast
his feathers, he would be extinguished. The unnffending
creature was taken out of the cage; but even the cage
was not palatable to Rome. It bad harboured a heretic
Orange Bird 1 What a mockery for sensible men to find
fault with.
CHARGE OF EMBEZZLEMENT.—A respectable looking
man named William Tomlinson, who had been remanded
from Friday on a charge of embezzlement, was yesterday
again placed at the bar of the police-court. Mr. John
Carden, who is secretary to the Second Liverpool Loan
Society, said the prisoner bad a short time ago been clerk
with him, and had received three sums of £l2 and £l2
and £l2 10s. for shares sold, which he had not authority
to do, and for which he had
not fully accounted. It ap-
peared, however, by the evidence, that he had in two
cases been authorised by the shareholders to receive the
money and had paid it over. Owing to the absence of a
witness who lived at a distance the third case was not so
satisfactorily des red up as to the precise amount, but was
so far in the prisoner's favour that Mr. Rushton
charged him.

The resolution was put and carrier', unanimously, as
were also the following, in eloquent and appropriate
speeches, for a report of which we regret we have not
room :
That this meeting, looking to no other save a strictly constitu-
tional course of action, for the averting of the evils and dangers
which they see approaching, and feeling convinced from the disre-
gard displayed towards their feelings and wishes by the majority of
their representatives in the present House of Commons, that they
have not there that mode of making their feelings and convictions
known to the Sovereign and the House of Lords, which the con-
stitution recognises, concur in the following memorial to her most
gracious Majesty, praying her to dissolve the present parliament,
and by a new election, to take the sense of her faithful and loyal
people with respect to the policy of her Government.

TO TIER MOST GRACIOUS MAJESTY VICTORIA, &C., THE MEMO-
RIAL. OF HER FAITHFUL SUBJECTS THE MEMBERS OF THE
GRANO PROTESTANT ASSOCIATION OF LOYAL. ORANGEMEN.
Humbly Sheweth,
That your Petitioners, deeply impressed with love to your Ma-
jesty s person, and loyalty to the monarchy and constitution of this
realm, cannot but regard with regret and alarm the policy by a hich
the present Government is weakening the security of the Established
Protestant Church, and violating those principles, the sincere pro-
fession of which, by your Majesty's revered ancestors, was the oe.
casion of their being called to occupy the throne of this country.
That your Petitioners have laid before your Majesty's two houses
of Lords and Commons, in the manner pointed out by the Constitu-
