The Rev. W. F. TAYLOU, on rising to propose the
second resolution, was received with enthusiastic applause,
the Kentish fire, and loud cheers. On these subsiding,
the reverend gentleman proceeded to move the second
resolution, which in general terms may be represented as
pledging the meeting to a conviction that the principles of
Romanism are antagonist to religious truth and the free-
dom of thought —is at variance with civil liberty, and
that it is, consequently, the duty of every rightly consti-
tuted Christian to oppose those principles, and to do the
best that is in their power to disseminate among Romanists
a knowledge of that Scriptural truth which will indeed
make them free. He remarked that the resolution set
out by declaring that the principles of Romanism are
opposed to civilization, because civilization is based on
intellectual culture, which the Church of Rome in every
age has determinedly opposed. Wherever she had had
the power or the opportunity, she had put her chains
around the intellect, and used her most strenuous en-
deavours to nullify every principle of scriptural Christian
faith, and substitute for them a counterfeit Christianity,
by her priests. Well knowing that every exercise of
intellect is a step, fatal to her teaching and de-
structive of her influence, she had, by the guises
of her institutions, as well as by her law and
enactments, lent all her efforts to crush it. Inquiry
of every kind had been restrained and circumscribed ;
and by the tenth rule of her directory no book is allowed
to be printed, to be lent, or to be read until it has been
first examined by the bishop of the diocese, or by the
inquisitor of Heretical doctrines. How was it that she
was thus careful to stifle inquiry ? And why was she so
fearful of her children acquiring knowledge ? It was
because she knew well that information would be fatal
to her power. Protestants, instead of feeling such a dread
of knowledge, court inquiry, and urge upon their people
the necessity of carefully examining the Scriptures for
themselves, and solicit them to use their knowledge of the
Scriptures as a rule for their guidance in all things.
The resolution declared that Romanism was opposed
to social progress ; and in illustration he remarked
that the biotin 9f Christianity fully bore out the

Rome, she, too, was called schismatic—and there science
flourished amid the general darkness. After alluding to
the well-known instance of the threatened punishment of
Roger Bacon, and the constrained recantation of Gallileo,
he maintained that '..no true liberty of action or
thought was ever permitted where the power of Rome
had been dominant. In illustration of this, he read an
extract from the letter of a poor woman in Liverpool, who

T. B. HORSFALL, Esq., M.P., on rising to second the
resolution, was received with loud and vociferous cheering.
He said that, had it been other than a meeting of the
working men of Liverpool, and for another object than
the Protestant Reformation, he should not have been
there, as he laboured under a severe cold. We lived in
stirring times, and few questions were of more importance
than that upon which they were assembled. Remarks had
been made about political and religious questions, but it
was impossible to treat of opposition to Rome without
going into a political subject. He then referred to the
question of Nunneries, which was brought before the
House of Commons last Session. It might be asked, was
it not carried when there was a majority in its favour ?
It was virtually defeated by interminable discussions,
which were wasting the time of the House, and the mover
withdrew it, to bring it forward again another Session in
a shape which he trusted would render it successful in
spite of any opposition that might be brought against it.
Another question before the House was the payment of
Romanist chaplains on which the ministers were defeated.
Lord Palmerston had said that he was as good a Pro-
testant as Mr. Spooner, but he (Mr. Horsfall) had told
him that without pretending to decide, he saw Lord
Palmerston recommending them to pay for the teaching
of what he knew to be wrong, whilst Mr. Spooner refused
to pay for teaching more than what he believed to be
right. There was the Jews Bill, which was rejected,
he believed, because many were of opinion that it would
streegthen the hands of the Romanists, and he would tell
them that he believed there was a strong and increasing
Protestant feeling in the House of Commons. The ques-
tion to be brought before Parliamont next session was the
grant to Maonooth College. The Ministers who carried
it had been told that it would prove a thorn in the side of
the Government, .and they ought to join with vigorous
determination to extract this thorn. Before sitting down,
they must not be surprised if he proposed Lord John
Russell as a member of their society—aye, even their pre-
sident, for he could prove, by his celebrated letter to the
Bishop of Durham, that he was as zealous a Protestant as
any of them. Mr. Horsfall then read an extract from the
letter, and, amidst much laughter, said if Lord Bohn
Russell would prove his words, he should be most happy
to propose him as one of their society. Before admitting
him to this honour, however, he would like his lordship to
go a little further. The people would not be satisfied by
a mere admiration and reverence for the Protestant insti-
tutions of the country ; and he trusted that they would
likewise show something more than mere contempt for
the doctrines and superstitions of Rome. Let the people
of Liverpool, and of the country, pour in petitions to Par-
liament, and in these petitions plainly express their wishes,
and, by so doing, they would get rid of Maynooth and the
other grievances of which they complained. (Mr. Hors-
fall down amidst loud and long-continued cheering.)
The resolution was carried with acclamation.

Notes and Queries.
LAUNCH OF TUB VITTORIA EMIKANUELO.-011 Tues-
day, a fine screw-steamer, the second of a fleet of ten
ships intended for the Transatlantic Steam-packet Com-
pany of Genoa, was launched from Messrs. Mare and Co.'s
extensive works at Blackwall. This enterprising company
has been formed under most favourable auspices, his Ma-
jesty Victor Emmanuel, the King of Sardinia, himself
taking a deep interest in the prosperity of the undertak-
ing, and being in fact one of the largest of the share-
holders. The company propose to establish steam and
direct postal communication between Genoa, Marseilles,
Barcelona, Gibraltar, and the principal ports in the south
of Spain, and with the continents of North and South
America.
MURDER or A GIRL Er HER FATHER.—A few days
since, a young woman, named Sarah Ann Voss, was mur-
dered by her father, a labourer in the employment of the
London and North-Western Railway Company. The
wretched man, who, there is reason to believe, committed
the dreadful crime under the influence of insanity, imme-
diately absconded, and was not captured for several days.
A verdict of " Wilful Murder" was pronounced against
him by .a coroner's jury, and he has been committed for
trial. _ _

REINFORCEMENTS. —lt has been determined by the
military authorities to add three subalterns to the strength
of each of the infantry regiments now serving in, or about
to be sent to, the Crimea. The present number of subal.
terns is, exclusive of the adjutant, fourteen lieutenants
and eight ensigns. Under the new rule there will be
fifteen lieutenants and ten ensigns. It is also intended to
increase the medical strength of the
of an assistant-surgeon to each regiment. The increk
lately made to the number of men in each corps render
obvious the necessity of this step. We believe that i,
is intended to increase the force in the Crimea by sending
up some additional regiments now serving in the Mediter

BURNING OF THE MORAYSHIRE.—;The following ex- 2 al
tract of a letter gives some details of the loss, by fire, of ng
the barque Morayshire, Brodie, from Bombay to Liver- -. 22
pool:—" The fire broke out in the mainhold eight days
i 2,
after the ship sailed from Bombay. Her cargo consisted
chiefly of Indian produce—a considerable portion of which
was Bombay cotton. There appears to be little doubt that We
part of the latter was stowed away in wet weather ; and Air
to this cause, added to a large quantity of the coir yarn, Aar
used as broken stowage, being sent on board in a moist us • sl
-
state, her spontaneous combustion may be ascribed. We
understated that, on the eighth day after she left Bombay, air ir'
itl
smoke was observed issuing into the cuddy, about midday, 4C, It
when an instant search was made for the cause. After Ai* 81
searching over the ship unsuccessfully, one of the seamen ie
iv
went into the chain locker, and his immediate exit from cl
the overpowering heat showed that the centre of the cargo .i,^
was in a state of ignition. All hopes of getting the fire LI
t
under being cut off, the ship was put before the wind,
every hatchway battoned down to exclude the air, and 1 ss
every sail set to run for the nearest land, but within three is
hours the flames burst forth through the deck, compelling
the captain to order the long-boat to be lowered, and,
having been supplied with water, the crew took to their
solitary refuge, and the ship was abandoned. A quarter •
•
of an hour after her masts went by the board, and her •
hull became a mass of flame. She soon disappeared.
After three days' suffering, the long-boat reached Colombo,
ill
where the crew all safely landed."
CASHMERIAN ROSE OlL.—The essential oil, or c Ist- ..
brated attar of roses, made in Cashmere, is considered
I
superior to any other ; a circumstance not surprising, as,
L
according to Hugel, the flower is here produced of sur- n
passing fragrance as well as beauty. A large quantity of
rose water twice distilled is allowed to run off into an
open vessel, placed over night in a cool running stream, t,
and in the morning the oil is found floating on the surface
in minute specks, which are taken off very carefully by
--ass of a blade of sword-lily. When cool it is of a dark a
`,ter, and as hard as resin, not becoming liquid at o
~cure about that of boiling water. Between 500
and 600 pounds weight of leaves is required to produce I
one ounce of the tatar.—lndian Encyclopeedia. i
ENGLISH LOVE OF SPORT.—The love of hunting and If
field-sports is a powerful and almost indestructible im- i
pulse in the English character. We can see it displayed E
in every phase of society, from the regal drawing-room to
I,
the low tippling stews of Field-lane and the Mint. The
great mass of the current literature of wild-sports is un-
derstood ,7
and relished by all at first sight. No previous a
- ^“(111 is requisite to feel its power and influence. The
gad school can enter into the subject y
__. as fair a kof knowledge and sentiment as the
intellectual and refined scholar of Eaton and Harrow. e
