., THE JIL1.GJIZI.VES.
THE JIL1.GJIZI.VES. The Magazines for the month have arrived at so Jt<te a period, that the best notice we can give of them, will be by giving extracts from them bearing upon the poiitical aspect of the Tunes in which our lot is cast. «BLACKWOOD," in the article NYiiliam Pitt," makes these for- cibte observations:— "It is obvious and undeniable, that the whole spirit of English legislation has been suddenly a'Hered, with a totality of change, a violence of mutability, which no man in Ins senses co.ld have believed until it was seen, felt, alld trembled at, through every institution of the land. First, the privileges of the whole body of freemen in the counties and boroughs were ext.ngu.shed.and a new principle of election established, altogether alien to common sense and public satety; population superseded property, and the mob were proclaimed masters of the Parliament, Then the Lhu-eh wa-% put to the question. For the hrst time in English history, it was pronounced that the establishment held its existence only at the w,H of a majority of the legislature; that its property was at the mercy of a casting vote; and that Protestant property, bequeathed, in innunterab.e instances, expressly for Protestant objects, was capable of legitimate confiscation, for the behoof of sects and op.nions which Protestantism repels and aMor.t on the high- est grounds, of reason and Scr.pture? /1 he Irish Church, the (? stronghold ot England <n. Ireland, the only natnral tie between the two anxious countries, the only preservative of that most ner- vous of all possessions, Irish. aUegiance; that Church, a hair of whose head an English minister should not suffer to be touched, has been already reduced to mendicancy, and is even menaced with extinction. That Church which it is the most ob- vious policy to sustain, and not merely to sustain but to strengthen, extend, to enlarge in both dig- nity and revenue, if for nothing more than compas- sion to the miserable multitude whom its fall must leave to the hideous and gtoomy shackles of superstitious' popery; that Church which every feeling of policy calls upon a Protestant Govern- ment to place beyond ail opposition in the land; which every instance of public necessity points out as the sheet anchor of England in the troubled and tempestuous waters of Irish partizanshtp, and which, still more, every feeliog Christianity com- mands a religious nation to send on its P''°6?s, conquering and to conquer, through a land as dark in all the essentials of true religion as Hmdostan or Morooco.-the Church of Ireland, with a short sighted. wilful, and malignant folly, utterly incon. ceivable, except on the principle, that those who are marked for punishment by Providence, are nrst prepared for it by the loss of their under- standings, is openly, ostentatiously, contemptu- ously, abandoned to the mercy of faction. How long will it be before the same faction wi!t issue Its anathema against the Church of England But if we look to the other leading constituents of national prosperity, do we find them more secure, do we discover the statesmanship, which in our inndel age might disdain to stoop to the tallen form of an established reiigion, one iota more active in throwing itself between the temporalities of the country and their assailants? The trade and manufactures of the empire, are they less offered up to the tampering of theory, and of all theory, the fabrication of French brains, and of att trench brains, those ot the original subverter. of the throne and the religion of France, the renovators. who, in a single year of legislation kl) left trance without ship, colony, or commerce,' plunged the whole of the French West todies into civil war, lost her remaining possessions in the East, and shut against her trade the ports of every nat.on of Europe ? Canada has been already visited by this evil spirit, Is it not notorious that her insubordi. nation has been patronised, nay, stimulated from home and whose is the fault that this insolent and dangerous stimulation has been administered with impunity? India! A hundred millions of men, the pastime of experimentalists, who learn their legislation in the lanes of Marylebone and West. minster, and promulgate the will and wisdom of their congregated cobblers as law to the astonished and awe-struck council of the empire. The India Company, the labour of two hundred years, gone in a moment, effaced by the single sweep of the arm of change. The gveat offset of the Company, the Chtna Factory, a treasury into which the English minister had but to dip his hand, and annually draw out three millions sterling-gone, with its parent stock. The.Univeraities struggling at this hour against a rush of the whole rabble of dissent against their gates, and scarcely able, with all theirstreagth,<ocloseihem againsttbe rush. Uni- tarianism, Anabaptlsrn, Papistry, Inndelity, all making common cause to force those last bulwarks of Protestantism, learning, and loyalty in the em- ptre, and in the world. The House of Lords threatened with being swamped if it dares exercise its judgment, and marked for ruin if it dares to persevere in the assertion of its liberty, The House of Commons invaded by Quakers, Papists, Socinians, and threatened with invasion by the Jews, in full, declared, and irreconcilable natrea to Christianity. The Corporations all in the furnace.boundhand and foot, and nungin withsucn eager precipitation, that, like the slaves ot the Pes!an despot, the fire has reached the agents of thesacrince. And to what has this extraordinary mutation in the very essence of English Council owed it-q -it]-nmpnpti birth? We mustpronouncethewora, and with bitter and incurable sorrow, pronounce it—trreiigion. We owe it to that measureless ana unmitigable weakness, if not to that condign cr"ne against the Constitution, and more than Constitution, by which Papistry was sunered to set its foot within the watts of the r<tr- liament of England. If we now have only to stt oy and helplessly wring our hands over the ravages 01 that torrent wb:ch we see hourly swell'ngana sweeping away still more precious portions ottne soil, we have not to trace its fountain to the tern- pest which none can restrain, or to the depth which no restraining hand cou'd reach. The whole d""? lay before us as plain as the glacier on the s'de ot the Alp. t nd as nxed too, but for the extravagant and bewildered rashness which let its waters loose to ravage and overwhelm. The fatal year !8XW is the nrst in that fearful series of hopeless reststance and accelerated overthrow, the head of that dartt and evil chronology, which shall henceforth num- ber the declining times of the noblest of all em- pirpa But is this catastrophe, solemn and terrible as it is, to be regarded as beyond the power of man, his vigour and his virtues to avert ? Are we called on to submit to it, with the shuddering and prostrate humiliation of beings above whose heads destiny is doing its own high will ? Are we to listen, as we listen to the rollings of the thunder, and wait for the blow as we wait for the work of the Bash ? This would be only to show ourselves deserving of the ruin, to make the havoc inevitable, and, depriving us of the last consolation of the good and the brave, that they have done their duty to the last, to render long-suffering only an aggravation of our fate, and put our delivery al- most beyond the power of those Illustrious contin- gencies, which are in reserve for nations worthy to live. It is with those impressions that we return again and again, to the memory of the great Minis. ter of England. Of all the mighty minds which have passed away with the passing of the last three centuries, the mind of Pitt is that one which pre-eminently,—"be;g dead, yet speaketh, whose inspirations are most pregnant with the peculiar wisdum required for our time-the lamp in whose seputchre pours out the steadiest and strongest beam through the hsavy vapours and noxtous shades that cover the land. We must ac- knowledge the comparative easiness of his task to that of our time. The patriot, born «r unborn, on whom is to be laid the magninoent toil of c?Mpr. In9 to achieve the detiverance of the empire, mjst brace himself fn.. a f. t,tlzrle. We feel the measureless dittculties which must henceforth beset every atep of the teader of poli- tical redemption in the deepened and widened gulf between the feelings of the great otasses of society, the property and the population; in the growing audacity of infidel dissent; in the general and arrogant appeal to number* against law, right, and custom; in the daring, furious, and undisguised appetite for spoil, however guarded by antiquity, crmade sacred by religion. And above all, in. naming all, and deceiving all, in that new shape of hostility to the very life of the etate, that des. perate, sullen, and irreconcilable embodying of ambition, revenge, and bigotry, which we have sunered to rear its head in our national councils, the 'Superior Fiead,' that like Milton's temp'er, has suddenty started up, from the serpent creeping in darkness and on the ground, into the glitter of falsie supremacy, lifting its head, already all but diademed, above the ctoud, and catling to the whole host of inferior spirits of mischief, to exult in the fall, which It has perpetrated, and in the still deeper fall which it has-prepared." <' FRASEtC hui t letter to Lord Melbourne, in which M the MUowtng :— -t"?'"?' *??'*y ?rdt '<? aMMd yow, aad My ? ? ?''

But your Lor(l,iiip, so far from being ab)e to assert both of these things, cannot even venture to allege either of them. For, "First What is yuur position with respect to the leo-istation and the peopfe? Take these sing-Iy:- "'The King: Itis-afnatteronwhichI suppose it is quite unnecessary for me to dilate, that his Majesty only bears with your services because he considers himself "nder the necessity of so doing, and that he would be detighted to witness your de- parture:— ''The House of Lor'!s: Within the )ast fortnight vou have seen abundant proof that more than three- fourths of the Peerage areopposedtoyourMinistry.

"Sadterisdead—Michaet Thomas Sadter' He who traty earned, aad without the feast descent into cant or aifectatiou, the title of the poor man's friend! Hia career as a public man has been short, but it has been tong enough to leave a name that wiH not soon be forgotten. Mauy men have in a period equatty short, gained more f?<Me<WK,'and far better served theinsellres-Macauley to Voit-but few have realised or deserved equal /tOMor. i he secret of his parliamentary career was brie8y th<a: instead of coming there, tike many others, with an empty head but a votubte tongue with wit, and repartee, and smartness, and party audacity Sadter came there with his mind and heart overchafged with schemes and pfans for the good of the working- ctasses. Dunng the whole time of his attendance on the House of Commons, po/t<!K, property so catied, did act occupy the tithe of his time or his thoughts. He was ever brooding over some scheme for the retiefofthe !r)sh poor, or the bettering the state of our own aghcutturists, or the emancipation of the in<ant staves of our factories. Mis range of topics was entirely his own; and as they were ever cros- sing and thwarting the common current of daity poHtics, it was no wonder that he became reckoned, by (he dandies of the House.as an odd and impracti- cable aort of a fettow. His manner, too, of deating with these topics had the fault of Burke and of Mackintosh;—it was the styieand manner of a studeiii, of one who had gone to the bottom of his subject, and who insisted on taking with him even those care)c!.s or retuefant hearers who had hardiy patience to skim the surtace for a few moments. ''Yet, with all these disadvantages against him, he wax appreciated by the excellent among the peopfe. Scarcety during his absence from Par- tiaMent could a vacancy occur, in any place having a respectahte constituency, without his being the nrst name mentioned. The applications he was per- petuaHy receiving, and from ptaces such as Bath and Marytebone, were not to be reckoned by units but by scores. "Hia fame, however, is of a higher ctass than that of a Partiamenttu tan. His was the hand, which, after a handred fruitless attempts, ?.nd those by men of no mean rank—hia was the hand that threw down, and broke to pieces, and stamped into p< wder that Mo!och principte, ong worshipped as an ido) by '"?"y? ?«Mpet/ecMn<? o/' ifAe AttmaK ?ecw. the Mahhusian theory was by him, at once and for ever, put an end to. It is true that the numerous disciples of that hfresy wit) still adhere to ii, "for 'he term of their natur<t))t7es." Bnt it is now a detected ""Postuce and its fate is seated. I he public tife of Mr Sadler may be reckoned to have tahen within the tast eight years. His great wMkoa the Evil. oj Ireland OM<f their I?entedies —a book which has been pubticty declared by potmca) opponents to be the best ever written on the subject," was pubtithed in 1827. He entered Parliament in 1829. and retired from it at the dis. sotuuon, in December t832. His tabour" had then so tar a'ded a constitutional ma!ady, as to have excited the anxious apprehensions of his friends; but within c t't year the symptoms of its advance became un- quesHonabtp. liiii age was, we beHeve. about nfty. four rrfifty-6ve. He was at man of rare ftaturat endowments, and of extraordinary acomplillhmenl.; but these qualities couid ou)y be known, in their variety, to his private circle and friends. His enthusiastic devotion to the "e'tareofthepoorwas the teading feature of hw cnaracter; and in this point his vatue was fe)t and appreciated hy the peopte generaity. We per< eive '"at the men of Leeds are ctaiming the honor of rearing and posseting his monument. But there must be a record of his tabours and his doings, of a more extensive and dorabte character than a ioca) cotuma,ortabtct,or tHatue. Setdom has a aobier "'b)ect for the ?.„ .f the biographer been ao-orded, and we are g)ad to hear that it will uot be aitowed to pMs unnoticed." "THE BRITISH;" in an «rt;deon Church mattera, says- "Take, as a finite exampte, the fubject oftriah ?orporaHons.

Be it so. But wit) they who tatkofthisait ,oitig oil q"'e"Y, answer one plaiu quet-tiou? Looking at the power of the papacy wherever there is faith in it, and fooking to the pre- sent condition of the !rish mind, does any man believe that any English protestant government could govern heLthd with a popish establi.4HRl'ut ¡ )f he does, let him be assured that the papist knows a great deal better, and taughs ttuch ignorance and folly tojust scorn. The tanguage, by the way, in which the friends of government in Pariia«)ent perpetuaity speak of the Irish reformed church, is very extraordinary. They say that the existence of auch an estabtish. ment is an anomaly, a crying injustice, an into!e- rabte hardship, &.c. &c.; aud then they advocate Bi))s, the direct object of which, they assert, is to strengthen, and not to injure, this a:iornaly, this in- justice, this hardship.* "Whatever they may do, however, oraay, they who tove the pure and apostoiicat church established in these realms, who would be overwhelmed with ?riet, as Christians and as churchmen, to see it ex- tirpated from one portion of them, and the inhabi- tants of that portion consigned for a tong period to the reign of superstition, and an evall elical zea- 'ons, and ad'niratde c!er?y given over, with their famities, to ruiuand to death, and who wouid anti- cipate. with a just and ii,ely feRr, the coundenccand bo!dness which would be given to the papists here, and the weakness and ditncutty which would be occasioned to oursetves, tnnst be active, energetic, andbo)d. tf.froma morbid fear of the imputation of bigotry, or from carefessness, or tiberatism, from denouncing the cn?< and the M<e<tH? of the Irish papists, they are .preparing forthemsetveaa storm of difficulty and danger from which they wii) find a difficult and dubious issue, and for which they will have principaUyto thank themselves." This lupic is ably fully argued by the Rev. Peter Btiickburn, in a pamphIeljast pnbiished. "THE CONSTITUTIONAL." We extract the fotio)vi')g' remarks from all 1!1 article entitled The Lords: their Position and their Prospects." We are ready to adm!t that the House of Lords as now constituted, and itt its present temper, can- not keep puce with the Commons, provided the Com- mons are waiting in discretion and in regard for eonstitutiona) privileges, But this cannot be ptaced to the account of the Lords as a fau)t. ThtCor. pora.ion Bit), the debate on which has given rise to out remarks, we have already said, has our appro- bation as to its general principtes,—remedying -existing abuses, and placing the whole of our town gOfernmenls on one plan; but its details are crude and iH-comtidered, and if the uti'uy of the Lords was ever distinctly !>howo, it has been in this in- atance. The Commom did not deliberate on the BH). and, to some extetX, the same objections appty to the Higher Chamber; neverthe!ess, the measure has been stayed and wi)) be modtned. Let us took forward-let us quit the mere party question—and admitting that the progress of liberal opiniona may make it needful that the House of Lrmiø should be reformed—that the fears of its members for the safety of property and conttitu. tiona) order shaH bi-iulr them into actoa) coUision with the Commons, what is to be the nature of this Refo) matiox. so that it shaH fu!6) the ends proposed whitst at the fame time it preserves an emcien? Upper Chamber? The question is 'nebe<etw;th practical diHicohies. L< theory it is easy, and it is easy indeed, to make o6'-hand propo';a)s; but it is not easy to devise any practicable remedy. A tife peerage has been proposed the objection iA, that it destroya the character of the House altogether and makes it a mere potiticai engine: the Monarch h<)9 however, now the power to do this according to j?w' The creation of new Peers, upon any great emer- gency like the present, would have a simitar etfect to the former propoMUon—both would be fata). An elective peerage is a third scheme undoubtedly if a fair etectorai body could be found, and a Sxed qualification adopted, this would go far towardt remedying some of the discrepancies existing be- tween Peers and their privileges; but from what ctass of society is the electoral body to proceed ? Another idea has been the e<t<ab)ishment of a fourth estate, as it were, in the shape of a free conference, when an irreconcilable difference exiatt between the Houses,—that is, a genera) Chamber in which the Lords and Commons should sit and vote as one body. This sounds p)anMbte, but that is a!) in the present position of partiea it wouid leave matters juat as they are or worae for the poputar cause. The sub. ject is one beset withditHcuhiea, but it is one worthy the consideration of moderate and tioberminded men.

ATTEMPTED HtGHWAY RoBBERY.—On Tuesday se'nnight, as Mr White, butcher, of Cheltenham, was returning home on horseback from Winch- eombe, he was stopped, when passing the. upp"r part of the hill near Southam, by two men who de- manded his money. Mr W. stated that be had none, but they said that "they knew he had, &nd seized him, endeavouring to drag him from h)s horae. Mr W. made a vigorous resistance, 'n whfch he was assisted by the violent plunging of the animal. The vHlains, however succeeded in dragging him down, and inaicted some serious injuries by kicking him in the back, but as Mr W. still grasped the bridtt, his horse suddenly plunged forward, vand drew him out of their reach, on which he Instantly remounted, and rode off with all speed.

Stanhope, Bart. was unanimous)y voted to the Chair, upon the motion of S<r John CottereU, Bart. seconded by Dr WcthereH. The Chairman said that in opening the business of the day, ahhough he was reiuctant to detain them from the interesting: proceeding they anticipated, he coutd not re- frain from making one observation with a view of dit- abusing their minds from the false statement which had been circutated. that the meeting was to be a p..)itieat one. On the part of ttx' Protestant Association he begged )eavctodisc)aiminthemostpcrempt')rytprm<,any motives in the caHing of this meeting beyond the desire of holding fast by the b)pssinga which they enjoyed through the Estabhshed ({etigion of the country, (Cheers ) That rcii,,ion as the Protestant ReHgion, and it waa incumbent upon Protestants of all denotninatious.—and more especially of those who claimed to he morcjcatous than the members of thR Church of Kngtand in the maintenance of civil an,1 religious weigh wen the evidence about to be taid before them upon those important (Hear, hear.)

It might be true that some of the Dlost ob- jectionab)e doctrines of the Church of Rome were suspended occasionally for a time, when to carry them into practice might be inexpedient. Themom&nt,ho\vever, that brought themintofuti force aU the laws laid down by the Popish hierarchy were carried into fui! execution. (Hear, hear, hear.) Some might think it strange that none of the Cathohc Clergy had come forward to reply to some of the charges directed against their Church, but it was, in fact, not at alt surprising that they should shrink from the pubiic support of doctrines which would not bear the tight of day. (Cheers.) NotontytheCatho )ic C!ergy, hutMrO'Connpt),the great teader of the Cjtbotic and tiherat party, had been chattenged to the defence of the Catholic doctrines. lie also, however. had faited to appear to the chaHengf.

It was his object to endeavour topefuade the Bulish people that the poor C.itho)ic* were much be)ied—(a )augh)— that their retigion wa* much improved,—that theobsotete doctrines which formerty. disgraced them and which at one time the Protestants held too. had passed away, and that no people on the face of the earth could be found more liberal than the Roman Catholics of Ireland.— (Ci)eprs and laughter,) But the proof of MrO'Connett'f consistency and the test of all h)s liberalism rested upon his ability to disprove the facts connected with DeM'Theo- iogy.

He should now proceed to introduce the fresh and im. portant documents which had come into his poMetsioo touching this question, 'thenrsthadbeenpainfutty forced upon his attention since he came to Hereford, h was a tetter published in the Hereford paper, and bearing he grieved to say, the signature of a Clergyman of the Church of England. (Hear, hear.) Here the Rev.

There was Peter Dens upon the table and if Peter Den;! had been mis. represented, he (Mr Al'Ghee) should indted be happy to see him vindicated by the Rev. Maurice Jame*. (Hear andtaughter.) lie could only say that if, aq was as- serted by the Kev. Maurice James, the Church of Eng- 1:11111 was di-graced by equal or worse deformities than the Church of Rome, the Hev.

He read the question. appointed to be debated at the C<ttho!ic Coafcrencf, which ere taken out of these volufne-, and be knew that these 'nternat princip)es of Peter Dens were so debated in !832.

(Ataugh) He begged to inform that gent)eman that sober men in England were not to he upon by such rhetorical flourishes. (fatigii- ter.) Upon this point he was provided with a document, thti of which, IIpon the present occasion, he coujdnotbnt attribute to the design of a merciful Providence. This document would atTord a complete answer to Mr Slieil's speech, and aliew to Mr JAines the kind of authority uponwhich he ventured to addrest 'ucb a letter to the inhabit'nttof Hereford. This im- portant document contained the articles of the Con*titu tion of the United Kingdom of Betgium and HoUand, as presented to the Belgian Bishops in 1835. Here we had the articles on retigioui liberty, political privitege! tole- ration of pubtic worship, subjection to the authority of the ttate, and the liberty of the prc:)S. The Rev. Gent then read consecutively the objections of the Roman Catholic Belgian Bishops to a)) those arti. cies. They said that to atford equal protection to all *ort< of n tigious worship was equaUy to maintain and protect error like truth. They refused to admit the ar- ticles which admitted aH tubjecta to att dignities and e'np)t)ymems,—that which guaranteed toteratioa of wortbip—that which provided for the subjection of all eretds to the taws of the state—and deciared the article the liberty of the press tu be one IIlIch as 110 true 'on of the Cnureh would engage himself on oath to obterve and maintain. Mr Sheit referred them to the Belgian Biihopi, for examples of the Catholic religion. The gcnllemau had been unfortnnate in his appeal to the Btthep*. Mr Sheit in one of his speeches referred thenr* to the Iri*h Bithop*. He (Mr M Ghee) went to them and found them gnitty of an act of confederated perjury. He next referred them to the Belgian Bishop*. He went to them and found them gullty, but n'tt of perjury. They wou)d not twear, ana that they might not be guilty of f"?'"7< they preferred the alternative of persecution. (Cheert.) With regard to the part of this note in which the name of Dr. Doyte hat been dragged forward, he characterised it at the tmftt audnciou* imposture that ever was trumped up. Was not Dr. Doyte one of the four Bitbopt of the province of L.eta&:er who had been proved iacoMtroverttbiy to have adopted Peter DeM aa the MMM!M<i ef their coaferttMe*? Did h< net pMtide in his own person over the conference in his diocese in the year [832, when the very question was asked, "What are the penatttes decreed by the Church against thote tnfeeted with the stain of heresy ?" And were they such fools as to he'icve that he wrote the note shockingly fal ie"-( [,air,, liter)- is 011 the very answcr he had h)tnse)fapj,i,,ted? t)ens,"said MrS'tei;ap- pea)ed to the old Jewish taw." ))r. Doyte'* ))r.-t.-nded note -as "a theocracy is no r,ile f,,r iii." He begged leave h<'rp to read to the meeting the words in Dens' Fheotogv reterring to the authority of the old Testament. When speaki)t{; of the murder of heretics he said,—"This is contirmed because God in the Old Testament ordered the tatse prophets to be stain, and in Deuteronomy ch.<7,v.i2,tt was ordained that''whosoever is proud ati(i tia-iiiinl,, to obey the commands of thepriest,)et him be put to death. The s.une is proved from the con damnation ot the t4.thartic[eofJ.)hnHuM in the Counci) of Constance. He then quoted, from the ceiehrated quarto Bib:e published by Dr. Troy ia 1816, OJ. c.ipy of which he he!d in hn hand, the note on this very passage quoted 111 Dens as the authority for the murder of heretics, as follows Here we see what authority God was pleased to give to the Church guides of the Oid Testament in dcctdmg without appeal all controversies relating to the )aw. promising that they should not err therein, and puntshing with death such as poud!y refused to obey their decisions; and surety he h,\s not done test for the Church guidt-s of the New Testament." These things proved how far this pretended note of Dr. Doyte'?cou)dberc)iedot)asafaet. (Loud cheers) The Rev. Gcndeman then went into !OU)e further im- portant evidence to shew that the T)'eo)ogy of Dens had been universally recognised and acted upon by the Catholic Btshopsintretand. This was curioustyiUus- trated by one c,)se, the Documents of which were in his possesston. He then read to the meeting a corres- pondence between Major Bryan and Drijanigan, the Roman Cathofic Bishop of Ossory, in the year idOS.in which the former accused the latter of having broken his solemn promise. To this Dr. Lanigan published an answer containing the fottowing passage :-g- I utterty deny having made any so)pmn promiiie, if by a totetnn profnise Mr Bryan means anything more thaa a seriout promise. For notHing in actions, expressions, or writiug w;<s s.tperadded to the verbat declarations I made of stgmng the addresses when corrected. The nature of the case did not at all reqiiire a soleinn promise, and the gentleman who presented those addresses to me had too much sagacity and judgment to alann my suspicions by sueh a proposa), for the consequences would prob;ibiy be a rejection of the addresson the spot. 2ad)y, some days etapsed before the corrected addresses wereagain brought to me to be signed. Int"'S)ntervatmanyofthe Ctergy and Laity of this city came to me and remonstrated tgainstmysigning these addresses. They urged that these addresses were calculated to pass an indirect cen- sure on thePretatcs inDubtin. Whe;) t ascertained this fact I reeved not to sign the addresses, and was at the )tame time persuaded that I wes guilty of no sin or crime by such refusa). I a'n convinced that a serious, tincere, and voluntary promise btnds a man who makee it under the pain of sin to fuitit it. But t am likewise convinced that the ohligation of a promise ceases in the fotiowing cases:—tst. If a man p'-omiscs to do a thing impotsibtc —for no man can be bound to do a thing mtpoasibte to be done. Zndiy, It a man promises to do anything sinfu) or untawfu), -for no promise, though coutirmt d with an oath, can bind a man to commit sin. 3rdly. \Vhen a person iu whose favour a promise 's made r< h'ases the promise!- from the promise he has made. 4;h)y,Whenaman promises a thing periiici,)U. or useless to the pers 'n in whosefavourtite promise is made. 5(h)y.When before the prom'te made '< fulfilled the eircutristances become so changed that the petson profnisfng had he foreseen those circumstance' wOI.I:d,never h,we made the promise. (Strong expressions of disgust.) On this case I rest my juttiScatioa—(laughter & crie< of Oh) —for had I foreseen or known that my signing the addresses wou)d produce such alarm and consternation, such distike and disap- probation as t afterwards found they would in the mind.< of the great majority of the Cathohc Priests and Laity of of this city, t would by no means have consented to sign them. St. Thomas says a u.an is not guilty of an untruth in such cases, because when he promised he intended to perform his promise, nor is he unfaithful to his promise, because the circumstances are ''hanged afterwards. This i* not onty the opinion of St. Thomas, but it is also the opinion of ai) the ti'eo)ogtun< and canouists I ever saw or read." (Laughter.) Now what woutd the meeting say when he toid them that these doctrines, of which they had so Hatty expressed their execration, were the doc- trine* of Mr Peter Dens—that they were extracted, al- most word, forword asctosetyas thetran-tation coutd maketiiem.frotn the third votumcof this Theology to which the Roman Catholic hierarchy were entire strangers. (Cheers) Tese were the original words:— "Si rf-s promissa Sat tmpossibiUs, damnosa, ihicita, aminutitis." Absolute cessat prcmissio liberam promissarii re- missioncm." Generatim notpst revocari promissio dum superveni't tatit mutatio status ttutrerum, ut promissor non censentur te vo)uisseob))gan in tali evtutLt." It was most important here to observe that this decoration was made by Dr. in the month ot" following the consultation of the HomanCathoHc Bishops, at which they ordered Peter Dens to be printed for the benen' of theCfergy.

A nn.rdercr 111 disguise was a dark and deadty ntonstcr but the mon- ster who approached him with the soft smi)e of eharitv. who 'H"<Bed his dagger beneath the cow! of the monk or the vestment of the priest, was the deepest, the datkest the deadfteat of ass;jssijjs. He meant not to say that a); who proposed, who d.scussed, or who listened to thes. principles would be guilty of murder, It was of the hor- rors and abominations of the system that he spoke. How tartndtvtduats might be better than that system supposed them, It was not for him to jlJde. He icftthat to the Codofjust.ce and of mercy. The Reverend Gentieman then dwett upon the proof, that Dr Murray was ac- quainted wuh the publication of D<-ns, notwJthtandl;:g hn demat. and conctuded by an etoqucnt exhortation to the meeting and the who)e people of Engtand to cting stedfastiy to the btessings of Protestant principtes as ad- ministered to their National Church HstabHshment, and in order to do that, to raise up the might of their protec- tion for their distressed and persecuted brethren in tre- tand. (Great cheering.) The Rev. Mortimer O'S,.Ilivaii then addressed the meeting at considerable tetigth. and with great power cii- forced the objects so eloquently advocated in tite preced speech. and Couclllueù by moviug the following re- solution VteM/fed.—"That it has been estabtished to the satis. faction of this meeting th:tt t)ens's Theology has been adopted gem-ratty by the Irish Roman Cattu'tic Bishop-: and Priests as the etandard of their Church since the year 1808, and espeoatty as the text book of the secret conferences of the H'shops and Ctergy of the province of Leinttcr since the year lS3t. and that this book contains the tyrannicat and ant'-Chrtsiian doctrine* of intolerance cruetty, and persecutton which have distinguished the Church of Home in former days. That it appears to this meeting that e"cry fair oppor- tunity has been anorded to the Roman Catholic H'crarchy and to Mr O'ConneU to meet these farts both in England and in Ireland, which they have appeared incompetent to do, That the attempts which are made to deny and abjure these principtes wh'te they cannot disprove the fi*cts, teem to thi9 meeting on)y to Illustrate and aggravate the iniquity of the Church ot Rente. "That it therefore appear:, to this meeting that it is the imperative duty of Protestants of all denominations who vatue the salvation of their feHow creatures, to use all means to niake these facts known to their Roman Catholic neighbours to warn (hem against the iniquity of such a system; that it is imperative on all Christian Miuisters to try to convert them from it; and that it is the duty of all men who vatue the rights and privileges of conscience, of true retigion. and of civil ttberty, to endeavour to oppose and counteract the encroachments of Papat darkness and Papa) tyranny in the United Kingdom. Mr M Ghee seconded the resolution, which was put and carried by acctamation, and without a single dis sentient. The Chairman then announced that the hus!ne«s of the meeting had tcrn.inated in a manner which must be most gratifying to all who feh an interest in its success. t here were mi'ny, however, who had been di appointed in their wishes to obtain admission, at.d the Ct'<nmit(ee had determined that an adjourned meeting shouid t.,ke place in tht; evening at which all such persons were tovited to a'tend. aud atsu as many of the humbler ctasses, who were equally interested in the meeting, as thoutd think proper to appiy to the Comnuttee fur tickets.
