THE NORTH BRITONS' SOCIETY

Yesterday evening, the members of this thriving society,
to the number of about eighty, assembled at the York Hotel,
to celebrate their anniversary by a dinner—the day being also
the anniversary of the union between England and Scotland.
'Mr. WIIATMOVGEI ably occupied the chair, and Mr. CoLa
acted with equal efficiency as vice-Chairman. The dinner
was sumptuous, and waS admitted by all who were present
to have been got up in Mr. Hamer's best style.
On the cloth being withdrawn,. a number of loyal toasts
were proposed, and drank with enthusiasm, including "The
Qiieen ;' " The Prince of Wales ;" " The Queen Dowager,
and the rest of the Royal, Family ;" and " The Army and
Navy ;" which we.e followed by appropriate songs. " The
Ladies, or Lancashire Witches" was next given, followed by
"The immortal memory of Buros,.Rnrusay, and Scott," by
the vice-chairman—to which the sentiment was attached—
" Hang down your heads, ye hills ; greet out ye springs!
No more upon your braes the minstrel sings."

On the chairman's health being proposed by Mr. BIRCH_
ALL, and drank with enthusiasm, he returned thanks in a
brief but feeling and forcible manner, which called down the
wenn plaudits of the assembly. The health of Dr. Marshall,
who is employed professionally by the society, was eloquently
responded to by that gentleman, whose remarks were re-
ceived with great applause—every member present being
satisfied with his zealous and skilful attention to the invalid
members. " The Press," with some encomiums on its in-
fluence on society, was responded to by Mr. J. S. Walker.
A variety'of toasts and sentiments succeeded, prefaced by
spirited and adequate addresses, and followed:by appropriate•
and humourous songs; and,-national predilections apart, our
worthy countrymen of the northern part of our " tight little
island" (many of whom showed the tartan of their clans in
their clans in their apparel), evinced that loyalty and good
fellowship, which, in spite of distinctions of opinion on some
points, showed that—
' " A man's a man for a' that!"

This Benefit Society was instituted' so far back as 1811,
and is conducted in a manner which has hitherto been highly
successful, and that entitles it to the warmest support of all
" brother Scots."

TOXTETH PARK OPERATIVE PROTESTANT

ASSOCIATION

L A crowded meeting of the members and friends of the
Toxteth-park Operative Protestant Association was held last
evening, in Toxteth Hall, Mill-street. Amongst those pre-
, sent, we observed the Rev. Hugh M'Neile, the Rev. Thos.
Nolan, the Rev. F. Parry, the Rev. Mr. Butler (Incumbent
of St. Thomas's, Warwick-street), Mr. Alexander Smith,
jun., Mr. Richard Harbord, Mr. John Sheppard, &c., &c.
The Rev. Hugh M`Neile, president of the association, took
the chair; and the proceedings having been opened with
prayer by the Rev. Thos. Nolan,
The CHAIRMAN said—Friends and brethren, surrounded
as I see myself by gentlemen who take a lively interest in
our good cause, and who are more immediately connected
with your locality in this town than I am, I might content
myself, as your president, with a few introductory remarks,
and then call upon those gentlemen who are to follow me, to
enter more at large upon the subject now before us.
But there are two or three topics upon which I am anxious
to address a few words to you at this time ; therefore, I must
claim your indulgence whilst I trespass for a few moments
upon your time. In the first place, then, I wish to congra-
tulate you on the highly flattering, because well-deserved,
compliment which you have received from the mayor and
magistrates of this borough. Nothing can be more honour-
able to your known peacefulness, decorum, and respecta-
bility; to you renlightened enjoyment of freedom among your-
selveS, and your high-minded forbearance under even the
abuse of freedom by others. Some of you may have imagined
that upon a late oceasiou you were ill-treated, and you,may
now be at a loss to conjecture what 1,411.14,•t0, or. what I
mean. I will make myself plain ; but,,:fn order to do so, I
must go back a few months, and refer to the direct facts of
the case, late occurrences having supplied only a confirming
and illustrating contrast. (Hear, hear.) In the beginning
of last March, it was well and widely known, that a large
party procession, with party bannera, mid other irritating
exhibitions, was to take place on. the pith of that month.
Much was said, much was writtene and much was printed
upon that subject. The mayor and. magistrates could not
have been in ignorance of it; but what was their conduct?
Most just and proper, and highly complimentary to you.
(Hear, hear.) , They knew perfectly well that a procession,
however ostentatious and irritating in itself, would not
endanger the peace of the town, nor the person or property
of any man in the town, if it were in no way molested or
interrupted in its course. They knew that disturbance never
begins with those who walk upon such an oc •asion, but with
those who attack the walkers. (near.) T iev' gave you
credit for such an enlarged view of the liberality of the sub-
ject, that even with a processiou before your eyes, displaying
treasonable banners, instigating to the dismemberment of
the United Empire —still you would,not interrupt or molest
that procession. (Hear.) Accordingly they did not inter-
fere; they put out no manifesto against the procession—no
request thatthe procession should not tak e place. As the parties
who were to walk were Roman Catholics, and as disturbance
does not arise with the walkers, but with the attackers, and
they knew that you would not attack, tnerefore they knew
there was no occasion to stop that procession. (Hear,) They
treated that procession, as they would treat any other child-
ish or mischievous exhibition in the streets, taking care to
keep a watch Upon the performers that 'they did no harm,
but not anticipating the slightest disturbance from the spec-
tators. (Hear.) The procession took place, and you justi-
fied the confidence that was repoSed.in you: you attacked no .
man ;. you molested no man ; yoti assailed no man ; all was
peace and quietness, very much to •your credit, and highly
creditable to the discernment of your magistrates. (Hear.)
These are the direct facts. Then comes a contrast, a con-
firming and an illustrating contrast. In the beginning of
this present month of July, it was well and widely known
that there was likely to be a party procession with party
colours and other irritating demonstrations to take place
upon the 12th of this month. (Hear, hear, and cheers.)
Much was said about it, much was written, and much was
printed. The magistrates were of course aware of it, and
the Mayor. What did they do? Again, their conduct was
most just and correct, and highly creditable to you, and
creditable, I must repeat, to their own discernment of the

. .
men they bad to deal with. (Cheers.) They knew that
disturbance does not begin with them that walk, but with
them that attack the walkers; and, as in this case it
was Protestants that were to, walk, they knew the

,
peace was in danger, not from the walkers, but from
the spectators. "(Hear, boar.) Do you not see. (Cheers.)
And what did they do ? (Hear, hear, and cheers.)
Why, they Interfered ; they put out a manifesto against
the procession ; and they requested their Protestant
friends not to walk. • Again; highly to your credit, we
are indebted for the peace of the town to you—first of all
for not interfering with .the Roman Catholic procession on
the 17th of March, and then for not having a procession

upon the 12th of July. (Hear, hear.) Twice you have dis-
Ippointed the enemies of good .order ; twice you have kept

. . .
tfiC peace of the town ; and twice you have entitled your-
selves to the thanks of your fellow-citizens. Now, do not
forget this when next March comes. (Cheers.) Do not en-
gage in—do not be tempted by any plausible but false friend
to join in—a demand that their procession should be stopped
next March, because yours was stopped—that would be put-
ting yourselves upon a level with them. (Hear.) The cases
are not parallel, because you can be quiet under provocation,
and they cannot, therefore the Christian rule will here
apply, and this is my instruction to you upon the whole
matter, " Ye that are strong ought to bear the infir-
mities of the weak, and not to please yourselves."
(Cheers.) In the second place I have to inform you that
Mr. Colquhoun is a member of parliament! (Loud cheers.)
After a brief investigation he has been declared duly elected
for Newcastle-under-Lyme. However, heidid not take his
seat soon enough, I regret to say, to supply the needful in-
formation during the late debate upon the subject of May-
nooth College. (Hear.) It has always appeared to the a
very unwise and very injudicious course to select the time
for voting money to that College as the time for raising a de-
bate about the College. It would surely be a wiser course,
a course more becoming the advocates and the cause, to ask
leave to bring in a bill concerning the laws affecting that
institution, and concerning the necessity of inquiring
into the nature of the instructions inculcated in that
seminary—(hear, hear.)—such a bill as Mr. Colquhoun
asked leave to bring in, and got leave to bring in;
for you must be informed if you do not remember, or did
not know, that he got permission last session to bring in the
bill, and now he is in the proper place to avail himself of it.
(hear.) Thus I have frequently urged upon you, and en-
deavoured to persuade you to make it the prayer of your
petition, with regard to Maynooth College, not the withdrawal
of the grant in the first place, but an enquiry into the state
of the law, and into the character of the instruction given.
In the late debate upon that subject, her Majesty's Chief
Secretary for Ireland, is reported to have said " the charges
made against the Institution ought to be substantiated be-
fore they are circulated." I am sorry the noble lord was
not asked, and I venture now most respectfully, to ask him—
though it is far off, and he may never hear the question—what
species of proof he requires? " Thecharges madeagainst the In-
stitution ought to be substantiated before they arecirculated !"
The charges made against that institution of inculcating doc-
trines and practices alike opposed to the interests of good
morals and hostile to every Protestant government, were
advanced upon the authority of the class books used in the
college itself—class books retarned
by the professors of the
college, in reply to an inquiry upon the subject

mentary commissioners. Is not that proof? (Hear, hear.)

The Rev. F. PARRY seconded the motion in an able
speech, and it was carried unanimously.
The Rev. T. NOLAN in an excellent address proposed the
second resolution, as follows :—" That this meeting regards
with sorrow, disapprobation, and alarm, the tone of the re-
cent debate in the House of Commons, on the subject of
National Education in Ireland, and wishes to record anew
their strenuous protest against any system of educatioh not
recognising the pure word of God, as its only standard of
foundation."

Air. Councillor HARBOR') seconded the motion, and it
was adopted.
Several
_other speeches were afterwards made, and the
proceedings terminated about ten o'clock.

CORRESPONDENCE

POPISH MASS-HOUSE, OLD SWAN,

TO THE _EDITOR OF THE LIVERPOOL STANDARD,

will have been seen that the above house of idolatry
is to be opened on Thursday, 4th August; and particular atten-
tion should be paid to the placard announcing the same, for
it is, therein stated that admission is to be by a 'charge of
ss. 6d. and 7s. 6d. ; and it is illegal that any' charge should
be made for entry into a place of public worship, under a
heavy fine.

Now, we are vastly too apt to pass over the various inno-
vations made by Papists of the present day.
The said Mass-house has been built with a steeple, against
LAW!

The said Mass-house has a peal of bells, against Law !
And now, a charge, and a heavy one too, is to be paid for
admission, AGAINST LAW !
We trust our Protestant associations will be on the alert,
and watch the wily proceedings of these bachelor priests.
It is contrary to law that money should be paid for admis-
sion to any place of worship !
It is contrary to hi* that a Popish Chapel should have a
steeple!

It is contrary to 10that a peal of bells should be used in
a Popish Chapel ; and yet theseL things are allowed without
restraint. Such thingS should not be.

Yours, &c.

their transactions in England ; the state of the typographic
art in Bothbay being such that it is supposed they will be
received out overland cheaper, and in less time than if got
up here, The Geographical Society, Medical Society, and
Asiatic Society; each publish their transactions quarterly ;
and it seems probable they may shortly be induced also to
print them at home!

FATAL. ACCIDENT.—On Wednesday last, a man of the
name of Evan Morris, whilst engaged in sinking a well near
Merthyr Tydfil, was suffocated by foul air. lle was heard
to cry for assistance, and a youth, of the age of 16, was let
down to rescue him, and he also in a few minutes was lifeless.
Measures were then taken to agitate the foul air and displace
it from the bottom. when another person descended, and
succeeded in bringing up the bodies, but all efforts to restore
animation were fruitless.

THE FASTING MAN.—Bernard Cavanagh, the fasting'
man, who left his native village to speculate on the gullibility
of the public—and a profitable speculation it was for some
time, until the impostor was detected,--retnrned to his hi-

more observations, resumed his seat amidst loud cheers,
The Rev. WALTER BUTLER, incumbent of St. Thomas's
in the Fields, then came forward, amidst much cheering, to
move the first resolution. He said that, in being 'invited` to
that place, he had an opportunity, which he had lmig wished
for, of being introduced to a person whose name he had heard
when far, tar from Liverpool, andlwhose advocacy of this
cause he had long reSpected and esteemed—he meant their
excellent chairman. (Loud cheers.) He was also glad to
have this opportunity of congratulating those among whom
his ministry was to he exercised, upon the strength of their
attachment to Protestant principles ; and for himself, he re-
joiced to have this opportunity of expressing his Opinions
and sentiments concerning this' great and important ques-
tion. Though :his voice was but a humbie one, be was
happy to raise it, and to cry out against the eneouragenient
given to Popery. (Cheers.) Protestantism loved the light,
but every thing connected with Rorrianism loved darkness.
(Cheers.) The Rev. Gentlemen concluded by' moving " That
it appears to this meeting that there exists a necessity for
undiminished exertion to obtain a parliamentary • inquiry
into the laws by which the Romish College of Maynooth
was founded and still continues to be supported with the
funds of the country ; that the advantage of these exertions
is also manifest frcim the increase in the numbers in favour
of the inquiry, there appearing on the late division a minority
of 49, whereas in the last session only eight voted on that
side,"

STRONG SYMPATHY IN THE DOG.--1-An interesting
stance of this feeling in the canine species, tbe.authenticity
of which may be relied on, lately took place, or rather is
still proceeding, at Ivergeldie, a large sheep farm on the
estate of Lawers, near Cowrie' Perthshire. The overseer
became severely indisposed and for the first ten days after
their master had taken to bed his two faithful collies refused
to be comforted, mournfully declining all sorts of food, nay,
even milk warm from the cow, at last pressed upon them by
the domestics. At length their case ;became so serious—
for they were otherwise valuable dogs—that :the overseer's
mother was prevailed upon to inform her sick son, though at
the time very low, of the circumstance, begging- of him, ns a
dernier ressort, to try what effect his own word would still
have upon the mute mourners. By an effort lie succeeded in
a weak voice to name his favourites pointiN;.at the same time
