The South Lancashire Conservative Association mustered a strong body of

Anti-Reformers at Liverpool yesterday week, to receive Messrs. Boyton and O'Sullivan, the deputation from the Conservative Society of Ireland. The place of meeting was the Royal Amphi- theatre, in Great Charlotte Street. The Anti-Reforming journals state the number of persons present as being at least four thousand. Lord Lindsay, Sir Philip Egerton, Sir Thomas Brancker, Mr. Hulton (of Manchester Massacre notoriety), and many other gentlemen with whose names the public generally are not acquainted, occupied the plat- form. Lord Kenyon was voted into the chair, on the motion of Mr. Hulton. He opened the bu,iness of the day in a brief speech. Mr. Boyton then rose, and addressed the assembly with his usual power and eloquence.

At the time when the resolution was formed to convey to this country time !aid and tedious story of the wrongs of the Protestant Church in Ireland, they looked forward to a sad continuance of the usage they were still likely to receive, and the miseries they were still likely to endure. But since the deter- mivation had been formed that they should come here, an event had occurred by which, thank God, a new light had broken from the darkest point of the horizon. It had pleased the King of Kings to enable our beloved .Monarch to do his duty to his people, and to place at the head of his councils that distin- guished man who had rescued Europe from deluitisin, and who was now pre- pared to rescue his country from a despotism not less oppressive. The system which had been pursued by the law Goverament towards Ireland—a system which they had found it impossible to mitigate—bad a direct tendency to reduce that country to barbarism, to produce its separation from England, and eventually to lead to a total dismemberment of this great empire.

He entered into a long historical detail to prove that the Irish Pro- testant Church was the same that exista in England in the earliest ages of Christianity.

It was utterly untrue that the property of the Catholic Church tail been transferred to the Protestant Church. In the reign of Henry the Sacond, indeed, that Monarch had thought lit to transfer the property of the pure Irish Church to the Church of Hume, and at the same time had transferred most of the errors of the Runtish Church to the pure Church of Ireland. In the reign of Henry the Eighth, the State again resumed the supremacy of the Church, and the property was also resumed ; while of the landed prop ietors, the Prelates, and the parochial Clergy, there was scarcely one who did not assent to that resumption ; for in the reign of Elizabeth, in January 1560, he found that there were only two Prelates who refused to renounce the Popish Supremacy : there were no Popish Bishops in Ireland but these two ; and they appeared rather as rebel chieftains, as Popish emissaries from Spain, than as tin istian Bishops. Indeed, the Bishop of Armagh, whose connexion with Spain was clearly established, was killed on the field as a rebel. These people, then, were ouly emissaries from the Pope: the orthodox Bishops of the Irish Church are the only Bishops who can trace their descent from the Apostles. Al! the others who assume that title, are descended from Horne, not later than two centuries ag,o. He thought, then, that he had said sufficient to prove that the Protestant Bishops were the only true awl orthodox Bishops in Ireland. Though this might perhaps be considered of little moruent here, yet it was an argument which was used on the other side of the water , and therefore lie hail dwelt upon it. The fact that the Protestant Church of Ireland was identified in her doctrines with the Church in primitive times, was equally capable of demonstration ; and it would be easy for him to prove, too, the uninterrupted possession of the property of that Church from the earliest ages to the present crisis of affairs.

Mr. Boyton denounced the conciliatory system which had been adopted towards Ireland : there was not a single instance in which it had been tried but it was followed by outrage and sbeddieg of blood. He was obliged to break off in the middle of his speech, owing to the fatigue consequent on previous indisposition. Mr. O'Sullivan then delivered a vehement Anti-Ministerial ha- rangue. He drew a frightful picture of the state of Ireland—of the Systematic thinning of the Protestant population, by means of murder and perjury. In Ireland they had generally the choice of two evils— an insurrection, or an insurrection-law. But it would occupy too much space to give even a brief summary of Mr. O'Sullivan's very long speech : we must be content to give a specimen only of its spirit. In alluding to the persecutions endured by the Irish Protestants, and their treatment by the late Ministry, he said-

" It is an easy and a light thing for men who have but little feeling for hu- man suffering to fling into an arena, where it would be worse than contending

With beasts of blood to serve some temporary purpose, the generous Protestant

Yeomanry of Ireland. But it is not easy for one who is acquainted with scenes of horror, such as are too well known amongst us, to conceive the struggle of mind in which a poor man, when summoned to make a disclosure Which he had perhaps long kept secret, looks to his house that seems prepared ter the midnight incendiary, but which the Englishman calls his castle, thinks of his helpless infants, thinks of the ruffiauly acts of violence of remorseless nien, and thinks that he Call purchase sorority by prmIsiing a false apostacy from his Church, and with the horrid alternative staring him in the face comes

to the resolution that he will not bow, though he sees the furnace seven timc.

hot, to the laws of those who have heated it, or fall down and worship the image the Kiny's .1)linisters have set up. He trusted they would stand firm to the God in whom they trust, for he was able to deliver them; ay, aud he had deli-. vered them. (Loud applause.) What language was severe enough to pour adequate contempt upon men who had sworn to be true to the Church of England, yet had availed themselres of becoming the allies of murder, awl perjury, and rapine, and incendiarism, for the purpose of raisiny up the Catholic religion, and/or making inroads into the Protestant faith and con-. :dilution?"

At the conclusion of Mr. O'Sullivan's speech, three cheers were given for the King, time Duke of Wellington, and the Church. Mr. Hulton proposed an address to the King; which was unlit& mously agreed to. The pith of it is contained in this passage— With the deepest sorrow we had heard, and by the proofs laid b:fore us we are now entirely convinced, that such of your Majesty's Irish subjects as dare to P°"° themselves the faithful followers of our Lord and Saviour Jesus Christ, by distributing his word unadulterated and ungarbled—by providing Scriptural edu- cation for the poor, or In. preaching those doctrines which we believe tin be true— no longer find safety under the administration of the laws which were enacted for the protection of their properties and lives. Relying firmly on your Majesty's wisdoin, and upon that gracious declaration of favour to the united Church of England and Ireland which your Majesty has so solemnly ratified at the altar of your God, we humbly, but earnestly, implore your Alajesty to command the various Ministers of your Majesty's Government so to per fiwm the duties of their respective offices as at once to raise from despondeucy the persecuted branch of our Establishment in Ireland, and thus by your Majesty's paternal care to render still more affectionate that dutiful obedience which we owe to your Alajesty as the head of our Apostolic Church."

Lord Kenyon, Mr. Boyton, Mr. Kearsley, and other gentlemen, addressed the meeting ; and the Reverend II. Alaencil spoke at length against the mots of Popery, and the Government system of Educa- tion for Ireland. Three cheers were again given for the Duke of Wel- lington, and the meeting separated.

Messrs. Boyton and O'Sullivan proceeded from Liverpool to Bristol, where a thJusand persons or thereabouts assembled to meet them on Wednesday last. This was as decidedly a High Church and Tory meeting as that at Liverpool. The persons who attended were ad- omitted into the Horticultural Room, where the meeting was held, by ticket ; so that all dissentients in the guise of Whigs, Radicals, or Nonconformists, were exeluded. Alderman Daniel was chairman ; Messrs. J. Neeld and G. Finch, four military officers, and thirty-two clergymen, formed the elite of the assembly. As at Liverpool, Messrs. Boyton and O'Sullivan were the principal orators. They dilated on, the wretched state of the Irish Protestant population, implored the protection of the British nation to their persecuted caste, and denounced the projects and measures of the Reformers in vehement terms. Mr. Boyton entered into several calculations to prove the evtent of Catholic poverty and of Protestant wealth ; and as regarded the Church, asserted " that no clergyman had more than 3301. a year, and that frequently out of that he had to pay a curate at 75/ a year ;" and for this suns " the parson had a congregation of a thousand persons to attend to." The Church which could afford so small a pittance to its ministers, could not, he maintained, be called justly a pampered Church. Mr. Finch began what was evidently going to be a long-winded oration ; but he was ventilated that the day was fast waning, and cut it short. An address to the King, rather lengthy, but very orthodox, according to high Tory notions of orthodoxy, was unanimously adopted ; amid the assembly broke up, at live o'clock. The members of the Conservative Club of the Northern division of

Northamptonshire dined together at Wellingborough on Wednesday. The principal persons present were Colonel Slopford, Colonel Chester, Captain Vivian, Reverend Messrs. Dickens, Townsend, and Good,

Mr. Maunsell, and Mr. Murphy, arid a few others equally well known and admired throughout the country at large. The speeches were full

of exultation at the recall of the Duke of Wellington, and at the pros- pect of retunming four Tories for time county at the next election. The "boy Milton " (Lord Fitzwilliam's son) seams spoken of with some bitterness, on account of his alleged neglect in attending to the business of the comity and the petitions of his constituents. His opposition to the Corn-laws was also urged against him.

The Cambridge Anti-Reformers met on Saturday, and after resolv- to secure the return of a Tory for time county in the place of Captain Yorke, now Lord Hardwicke, agreed to the following rather mitigated address to the King.

" We the undersigned loyal and faithful subjects of your Majesty, residing in the county of CainhrAge and Isle uf Ely, IiCCM it or the utmost importance at Otis cm ibis to conic forward aud testify our determination to support your Majesty at all Crites to the utmost of our power in the exercise of your just and lawful prerogative. We are from every feeling warmly attached to the institutions of our country, bid we are not the less prepared to express our entire willingness to come forward in any measures -which after mature and deliberate consideration, shall be thought by the wise and good of any party to have a tendency to improve those iustit utious."

The Orange and Purple Club of Norwich held a meeting on the 20th, and voted an address to the King, thanking him for dismissing the WImigs, and imploring him to ave-t the dangers which threaten the Church and the Monarchy.

Addresses to the King have been agreed to at Leicester, Ports- mouth, Norwich, Bury, and Glasgow, expressive of a firm determing tion to support his Aiajesty, in the exercise of his prerogative in ap- pointing his own Ministers. The latter address was upon the table of the Royal Exchange Rooms only two days and a half, when it was despatched to London with upwards of 3000 signatures.—Slandurd.

A portion of the weak.minded clergymen connected with the Established Church of Stratford-on-Avon and its vicinity, gave vent to their inexpressible joy on receiving tidings of the dissolution of the Whig Ministry, by walking from street to street in orange ribbons. This paltry exhibition of party-spirit elicited nothing more than a smile of ineffable contempt.—True Sun.
