About three weeks ago, a labouring man took a fine lively
specimen of the Cryllus Myzratorius, or Asiatic locust
a field at Stonegravels, near Chesterfield, Derbyshire. The
insect was observed by the men, who, being struck by its
unusual appearance and great activity, joined in the pursuit.

anti after a severe chase succeeded in capturing it in safety.
It is now in the eabinetfig a gentleman in Chesterfield. We
understand that several' other specimens of this destructive
4 nsect haVe been taken in this and the neighbouring coun-
es in the present year. One of these was taken in the
town of Sheffield about the beginning of September. Ano-
ther was taken at Mickleover, near Derby, nearly at the
same time, and is now in the possession of R. J. Bell, Esq.,
of that place. A third specimen was taken about the middle
of the same month, near Burton-on-Trent, and was found

Our columns this day are nearly engrossed with the report
of the meeting of the Protestant Association, at Liverpool,
on Wednesday. We have the satisfaction of giving to oar
readers a full and correct detail of the speech of the Rev.
R, J. M'Ghee—than which, we will venture to say, a speech
pregnant with more important matter has never been deli-
vered by that getelernan, or we might say by any other in-
dividual, on the subjzet of Popery; and we could earnestly
recommend to all men, and not more to Protestants than
Roman Catholics, 'a patient examination of the documents
laid before the public, and the plain reasoning on those do-
cuments contained in this speech.
Mr: M`Ghee adduces a work of the most unquestionable
authority, even from the pen of the Pope himself, in which,
before he ascended the papal chair, he asserted the infallibility
of the man who fills it—the supremacy of his dominion—the
nature of his government—that the very essence of that go-
vernment is its immutable and perpetual activity—that thiB
activity consists in setting forth and maintaining its laws—
that the actual exercise of the church's authority, her un-
flinching • assertion of her rights, her utter incapability of
abandoning her pretensions, is indispensable even to her
existence--that her authority is set up by Christ, as suptem..
over all human powers—that all who refuse obedience to he
are to be punished—that obedience to her is obedience t
God • himself—and that the Pope is armed wi h posvf'r t
enforce. obedience, which consists in that of excomintinic
tion, independent of all other powers on earth.
Mr: MfGhee, having demonstrated these premises, :Iry
incontestibly that these principles must be those of the wh,
step over- l body of the .Cardinals, wl— 'Notede, -^ head tt-

..no el.— the man
who had set them forth, and necessarily the principles of all
those whom the Pope invests with any authority in all the
world. He also argues, a priori, that the man who sets
forth such principles must, according to his power, he .
vssarily carry his own principles into effect.
T. • 'le effects

`ten he traces with the most distinct precision t
which he has before so often brought home against the Iri_.
hierarchy, and which they have never been able, even inson_
instance, to contravene from the very year the Pope ascended
the chair of Peter, namely, ]B3l. In that year he proves
that the Irish bishops of this province enacted their statutes
in synod, setting up Dens to direct the consciences of .the

people. The next year, 1832, the Pope issues his encyclica
letter, condensing in it, in fact, the principles of his book

t year Dens issues from the press, a _
of the most iniquitous, anti-social, persecuting character a.,
added, to give the force of law to the worst principles c
Dens; while books containing the most dangerous doctrine
which have ever disgraced the Papal Church. were printci
and are actually at press. same of them, not yet finished, unde
the authority of the Pope himself, at Rome—and the medal
commemorating the massacre of St. Bartholomew are at
being struck from his mint—while the present lecturer in hi:,
own college is demonstratir', the right of the Pope, as Christ's
representative, over every baptized person, as his

a code of i

. . ouLijec:.,
owing him obedience beyond all that he owes a temporal so-
vereign—and also is laying down the law that " religious tole-
ration is impious and absurd!"

It is impoisible fcir any sober man, who reads Mr. M'G hee's
speech, to doubt, for a moment, the object of the Pope and
all the hierarchy of Rome, or to doubt that they are, at this
moment, to the utmost of their power, secretly—if, indeed,
it can he called secretly—carrying out their own temporal su-
premacy, not only in this immediate empire, but wherever
they can throughout the world. The statements, in this
speech, throw a light over the universal activity of Popery,
which every man remarks, but of which this statement in-
controvertibly demonstrates the system and the principles, be
laying clearly open the mainspring that moves the machinery
of it all.
Mr. M`Ghee, we would observe to Roman Catholics, SLOWS
that this is not the system of the laity but the hierarchy; but
he proves how the hierarchy make religion the instrument of
moving the laity. We would urge our
Roman Catholic then, to reflect what the issue of such a system
of iniquity must be.

lucrative traffic may eventually be opened by means of steam-
