    Saturday , November 29 . As was to be expected , the Anti-Maynooth Demonstration , atFreemasons ' -hall , yesterday , was numerous and enthusiastic . The hall was crammed with the members and friends of the Protestant Alliance , who listened with great interest , apparently , to five hours of oratory on the subject from the Earl of Shaftesbury , President of the Alliance , Mr . Colquhoun , the Reverend Dr . Tidman , Sir Culling Eardley , the Reverend F . Close , of Cheltenham ; the Reverend C . Prest , a Wesley an minister ; the Reverend Dr .

    Begg , a Free Church deputy from Edinburgh ; the Reverend R . Burgess , rector of Upper Chelsea ; and several other clergymen . The Earl of Shaftesbury , in his opening speech , quoted Mr . Gladstone to show that " in principle the grant to Maynooth is wholly vicious , and will be a thorn in the side of these countries as long as it is continued . " Mr . Colquhoun quoted the Rambler ( not that of Dr . Johnson , but a modern namesake , published in London , which advocates Roman Catholicism ) , to

    show that the duty of persecuting heritics is still taught by the Church of Rome . The same doctrine was also taught in the Univers , the organ of the Ultramontane and Jesuit party . It was only a few months ago since a writer in that journal expressed his regret that Luther had not shared the fate of John Huss , and that there had been no pious and politic Catholic monarch in these days ready to put down the Protestant Reformation by a religious crusade . Sir Culling Eardley showed that in France the late Ministry had made itself the tool of the Jesuits . One of the last

    acts of Leon Faueher was the sending of a circular to the Prelects of Departments , enjoining them not to allow the Protestant version of the Scriptures to be colporteured . Resolutions against the aggressive and persecuting movements of the Church of Rome , especially on the Continent , and in lavour of the immediate repeal of the Maynooth Endowment Act were passed by acclamation . The second annual general meeting of the National Freehold-Land Society was held last night at the London Tavern . The chief speakers were Sir Joshua Walmesley and Mr . Cobden . The latter , in replying to the attacks which have been made upon the

    freehold-land movement by certain parties , augured much good from them , as he had generally observed thut such attacks wore followed by immense popularity . Some of the newspapers found fault with these societies ; because , although they enabled a poor man to buy land out of his savings , he could not sell it again if he wanted the money back . The same objection might be . brought against many insurance and provident institutions . It appeared , fiom the report read by the secretary , that of £ 230 , 000 received during the past year by freehold-land societies , this society received £ 1 ) 6 , 137 , that out of 15 , 000 new members , this bociety obtained 4231 , and out of 2 , 3 , 000 new shares , 9831 were issued by it .

On the saine day the committee on th * Council of State ' s Bill adopted , after a hot debate the 2 nd clause of the 1 st article , which makes it high treason in the President to provoke the violation of

    the 45 th article of the constitution , which prohibits his reelection . The question was then mooted whether the wording of the clause should be left as settled by the council of state , or whether the means of provocation , such as bribery , intimidation , promises ia case of reelection , and euch like acts , should be specified . On this part of the question the committee came to no decision .

    The Lords Commissioners of the Admiralty have just issued advertisements , inviting proposals from parties willing to contract for conveying her Majesty ' s mails fortnightly , between England , Gibraltar , Malta , Alexandria , Aden , Ceylon , Madras , Calcutta , Singapore , and Hong-Kong ; and every alternate month between Singapore , Batavia , Swan River , or King George's Sound , Adelaide , Port Phillip , and Sydney . The contracts embrace a complete revision of the whole mail service between this country , the Mediterranean , Egypt , India , and China , and are intended to supersede and replace the contracts already in existence , which are performed by the Peninsular and Oriental Steam Navigation Company , and which expire in 1852 . The Lords of the Admiralty also propose to incorporate in this contract a stipulation for the conveyance of mails between

    Singapore and Australia , in correspondence with the outward mail packets from England . A Privy Council will be held at Osborne House at the close of next week , for the further prorogation of Parliament , which stands prorogued pro forma to the 14 th instant . A collision , attended by very melancholy circumstances , took place on the London , Brighton , and South Coast Railway , at about a quarter past ten o ' clock on Thursday night , at a place named Ford , two miles from the toivn of Arundel . At the Fcrd station , the above

    line of railway crosses the river Arun by means of a wooden bridge , which , for the convenience of vessels passing up and down the river , is constructed so as to open in the centre . In order to make it as light as possible , only a single line of railo is laid down , signalmen and pointsmen being properly stationed to prevent accident . On Thursday night ttie seven p . m . down train from London , leaving Brighton at 9 . 30 , having called ut 10 5 at the Arundel station , was proceeding towards the Ford viaduct . Uhe signal was then up , indicating that another train was passing over the single line of rails , and this signal would seem to have been observed by tne engmo-uriver of the down trainbut whosupposing the other tram
