ANOTHER FESTIVAL. rrill E irresistible march of science has, in the production of that incemparable spirit, BETT'S PATENT FRENCH DIS TILLED BRAN DY, discovered a substitute even superior to its favourite prototype ! Inferior French and Spanish Brandies (of which the consumption is by no means inconsiderable) will not bear with it the slightestcomparison. The most competent judges have repeatedly expressed their perfect astonishment at its exec\ imitation of the finest Cognac. Chemists justly celebrated for their scientific attainments,- have upon analyzation . pronounced it amore _pure and wholesome spirit; while its price is but lit tle more than half that of French Brandy--viz., 18s. per imperial gallon. It is, then, to the patriot, who studies his country's weal—to -the connoisseur, who delights in a delicate flavour—to . the agri culturist, from whose produce it ismale—to the economist, whose prudence it invites—to the inv id, whose health and comfort it promotes—to the prejudicidi who have hitherto suf fared their judgment to be enslayede-eand to the consumers of .t3randy in every class of society, tirat J. T. BETTS and Co. confidently appeal for patronage and support. J. T. BETTS and Co. had flattered themselves that the un precedented extent of sale and admitted superiority in the quality of their PATENT FRENCH DISTILLED BRANDY, Would, ere now, have wholy dissipated the prejudice which has been known to exist in the minds of many persons against Brandy manufactured iu this country, and whibh, before the introduc tion of their article, was, perhaps, justifiable. If a patronage, as distinguished as it is extensive, including many thousand families of every rank and class of society in all parts of the kingdom, be any proof of merit, then has the PATENT BRANDY irresistible claims to universal support. J. T. BETTS and Co. could well have afforded to rest their . claims to the merit of having introduced an unrivalled produc tion on such incontrovertible evidence. But they feel that the .public, rather than themselves, are interested in the announce ment, that they are perfectly aware of the efforts still made by B interested persons to depreciate the PATENT BANDY; and to prevent the entire removal from the public mind 'of that inju rious delusion, which, however weakened, still exists in a qua lified degree. It is mainly with a view, therefore, to destroy the last remnant of this prejudice, that J. T. BETTS and Co. recall the attention of all classes to the consideration of the de cided approval given by the faculty to their PATENT BRANDY— an approbation resting on the important facts contained in the following detail : First, That "BETTS'S PATENT FRENCH DISTILLED BRANDY" is the only known pure Spirit in the World. Secondly, That the dealers in French Brandy—who have always been the most inveterate, as they are the natural oppo nents of the PATENT BRANDY—have been repeatedly : chal lenged in the public journals, by comparison or otherwise, to disprove the foregoing fact; and as the vital interests of their trade hang upon its disproval, the sole and just inference drawn by the public, from their constantly declining to accept the chal lenge, is, that THE' FACT IS BEYOND DISPUTE. Thirdly, That, whilst the PATENT BRANDY possesses all the valuable properties of .the first class Cognac, it is free from the acids which even that fine spirit is known to contain. Its supe riority is still more marked over French Brandies of the second and lower classes, which are frequently mixed with considerable quantities of a spirit obtained from other products than the grape, containing a large proportion of acid, which tends seri ously to disorder the stomach. Fourthly, That in consequence of the freedom of' the PATENT "BRANDY from those injurious acids, its use is not attended with nausea or head-ache. And, as a necessary consequence of its extreme purity, it is found congenial to the most delicate con stitutions, ana is especially valuable to persons of bilious or dyspeptic habits. Fifithly, That, for the foregoing reasons, all the faculty, who are acquainted with the intrinsic merits of the PaelitiT BRANDY, recommend it in preference to any other spirit for medicinal purposes. Sixthly, That, for the like reasons, when used as an ordinary beverage, diluted (in the manner recommended by the first Physicians) in the proportion of one to sixait is infinitely pre ferable to Malt, and other fermentable liquors. Whilst it stands unrivalled for HOME MADE WINES, CONFECTIONARY, and CULI NARY purposes, where the absence of acids is an important requisite. Seventhly—That the. PATENT BRANDY, either PALE Or CO LOURED, at the highest legal strength, is charged only EIGHTEEN SHILLINGS per Imperial Gallon, or little more than half the price of French Brandy. And lastly—That the superiority of the PATENT BRANDY, as thus definer, is established by unanimous opinions, founiied upon the results of various analyses made by the most cele brated chemists; from whose certificates the three accompany ing extracts are selected : EXTRACTS PROM THE TESTIMONIALS. " Your Brandy is free from uncombined acid and astringent matter, which exists more or less in most of the Brandies im ported from France. " JOHN THOMAS COOPER, Lecturer on Chemistry." " To Mr. Betts." " I am bound to say, and do assert it with confidence, that for purity of spirit this cannot be surpassed, and that your Pa tent Brandy is also quite free from those acids which, though minute in quantity, allays contaminate the foreign spirit. " JOSEPH .HLTNIF,_ "J. T. Betty, Eq." • Chemist to his Majesty." " I do not hesitate to express my conviction that your Patent Brandy is fully as free from every thing injurious to health and contains as pure a spirit, as the best varieties of foreign Brandy. " EDWARD TURNER, Professor of Chemistry in the University of London." " John T. Betts, Esq." CAUTION.—The general adoption of BETT'S PATENT FRENCH DISTILLED BRANDY and its rapidly. in creasing sale have produced numerous imitations, alike ineffec tual and fruitless; but several persons having been misled, and given their orders to clerks or agents of other houses who have tnsiiiiously represented themselves as being connected with the " French Brandy Distillery," J. T. Betts and Co. deem it requisite thus to caution the Trade, that they may be on their guard against similar impositions, and to state that their only establishment for Liverpool is at 66, Vine-place, Lord-street. _ _ N.B.—As some of the imitations alluded to are nothing more than light-flavoured Leeward Island Rum, coloured to assimi late Brandy, and others strongly impregnated with the flavours of Medicated Potatoe Whiskey, which are immediately dis coverable on mixing, J. T. Betts and Co. beg to add, that they do not use either of the above articles in the manufacture of their Brandy, which never appears more to advantage than Rho) diluted with bet water, .ITTEND.INCIP.

[A DVERTISiPOIENT.] TO THE EDITOR OF THE LIVERPOOL ST.9NDARD. .Sus,—lt is impossible not to feel indignant at the sorry attempt made by some anonymous writer of an advertisement in Gore's 'Advertiser of this day, to depreciate the claims to the sympathy and support of the parishioners of Mr. Thomas El lerton, the son of the late Mr. Ellerton, the Collector, in his endeavour to obtain the situation vacant by his father's prema ture decease. The object of the writer is pretty obvious, — indeed the animus of his letter speaks for itself. lam aware, Sir, that of the distorted and incorrect allegations contained in the communication referred to, Mr-Comer did, this morning, at the Vestry Meeting, make a full and perfectly satisfactory refutation ; still, -us but few comparatively of our townsmen were then present, and as your paper gets into hands who may not have had the opportunity of hearing that explanation, I shall feel obliged by your permitting one who has had the pleasure of a long acquaintance with the deceased, and to whom the several members of his bereaved family, as well as their present circumstances, arc known, to communicate for the pub lic information the real state of the case, by which it will, I have no doubt, appear that the benevolent appeal cf the Editor of the Courier, is, after all, not overstrained, but based on sub stantial facts. The writer in Gore's paper makes three round assertions, each of which is grossly incorrect. He states that one of the two younger members of the family, dependent on the elder brother, is "-a young-lady who has, much to her own credit,, supported herself for some time s by keeping a well attended-school." Now, Sir . , here are two misstatements. The "young lady," so term - en, has never , supported herself by school keeping at all, thr its number of pupils has not, at any time, exceeded three or four, and these have, in consequence of the recent appearance of cholera in her father's house, where this "well attended school" was kept, been completely scattered. So much for this school, the source of so much emolument. Next comes the " young man in a merchant's office on a progressive salary." And who does he turn out to be ? Why, a boy of sixteen years of age serving his apprenticeship, whose allowance, some three or four shillings per week, will just suffice to keep him decently clothed. But Mr. }Merton, "who was only one year in office, (by the bye it is well known he served the parish not for one, but for nearly four years,) died, the writer is happy to say, a comparatively wealthy man, leaving a provision for his family." IA hat ideas this sapient individual may attach to the expression "compa ratively wealthy," I cannot divine, although we may, by a stretch of fancy, even allow that the man who leaves his family of four children property to the amount of £ll or £l2 a-year each, is "comparatively" a wealthy man, rather than he who leaves nothing at all! and if this is what is intended by being "comparatively wealthy," be it so, since it is useless to contend about mere words. BLit what, after all, is the provision which has been ,left to the four surviving children of Mr. Merton? It consists then, Mr. Editor, of two stnall houses, the rental' of which is about £4O per annum, and which is left to be divided amongst the.children, and of a small sum in the Savings' Bank, which will, when distributed, make about twenty pounds to each. Whatever effects there. may be beyond this will be barely sufficient to pay the funeral expenses of the deceased parents. When a benevolent public shall have considered this state -ment, I have no fears as to their responding to the appeal to their kind consideration to which I have already referred, and so far am I from any apprehension that the force of their sym pathy will suffer any abatement from the attempt made to di vert it, that I the rather rejoice it has been put forth, inasmuch as the indignation which it will excite cannot but serve to increase the feeling of compassion in behalf of a family placed in circumstances of such peculiar bereavement. Yours, Sir, respectfully, ANOTHER PARISHIONER. Liverpool, 19th Sept. 1833. [ADVERTISEMENT.' TO THE EDITOR OF THE LIVERPOOL STA4VD.IRD.

TO-THE EDITORS oE—Ttle . _ Liverpool, 2d December, 1825. GENTLEMEN,—In your last week's paper, a correspondent, under the title Fair Play, has chosen to make very free with the names of others, and to conceal his own. A writer, under such circumstances, might be expected to take considerable liberty with facts to suit his purpose ; and might, consistently enough, impute unworthy motives to another. But this " ano nymous scribbler," (to use the terms of a worthy Alderman on Dock affairs,) almost tills a whole column with his assertions, whilst he shuns altogether the argument upon which my dispute with the Corporation is grounded : indeed the flippant manner in which he disposes of the serious question leads me to conclude, either that he had never seen, or that he was incapable of under standing, the plain provisions of the 17th clause of the Improve ment Act, the very foundation of my claim. That clause says, that an owner of premises, under the circumstances, shall not be compelled to sell a part : the Chairman of the Committee says, " We will take a part, though, in spite of him, and leave him to his remedy; he (Cragg) will have to proceed at his own ex pense, whilst we use the Corporation purse." " Yes," says the Town-clerk. But to return. Fair Play shrewdly remarks, that assertions may acquire a certain credit if not contradicted : that is my reason for not letting his own pass entirely unnoticed. Upon his very first assertion, then, we are at issue. He says, " I as sert confidently that the course adopted by the Corporation to wards Mr. Cragg has been similar to that which they have fol lowed towards all the other parties with whom they have had to deal under the Improvement Act." Now, Pcontradict this bold assertion by a fact which he himself cannot deny, for it stares hire in the face, and was the subject of a trial in open court on the 24th July, 1824. The late Mr. M. Gregson had a house on the front of Oldhall-street, and he bad also at the back thereof, at the top of a yard, a warehouse unconnected therewith, far beyond the line of improvement, and in a separate occupation, totally distinct from the house. Here the Corporation insisted upon taking the whole plot of house, yard, and warehouse; be cause the whole was inserted in the schedule: and this was truly conforming to the ad, and diametrically opposite to the course adopted by the Corporation towards me, at an adjourned session for the purpose, held on the 25th of August last, under the self same Assessor of the Court. This warehouse of Mr. Gregson was as , istinct from the house in front, as the foundry is from my house; and the whole plot was five times as much as was wanted for the street, and yet they took it. What, then, becomes of the confident assertion of this m4n, who signs, and of course professes, Fair Play. My offer, so long ago as November, 1820, to let the Corpora tion have what land the Street wanted, in itself confutes his ar gument, " that I wanted them to take the foundry off my hands;' and my proposal to the last Common Council, (a copy of which is at foot,) int had been accepted, would not only have opened the street immediately, but would have shown by the award whe ther the price I had demanded was or was not exorbitant. — But both these my proposals will, I trust, be recollected when ever the non-opening of Tithcbarn-stroet, as a principal entrance Ara. •• . • into the kuvn, is found hazardous or inconvenient to the public ; and O*S/the responsibility will remain with .the Chairman and the rest of the Improvement Committee. I am, Gentlemen, your's, &c., J. CRAGG. An anonymous . letter signed Feir Play," which first-ap peared in the Liverpool Mercury, of the sth of November, 184 a, being republiNhed us the LIVERPOOL STAN DA rth of Tuesday last, after a silence of more than seven years, snakes it necessary for me to revert to the above refutation of it, which I puolishea iu my own defence in the Mercury of the following week, say Friday, the 2d of Dec. 1825. The subject of opening so great a public street, which leads direct to the Exchange, and in a part of that street within two minutes' walk of that Exchange, has latterly become snore and more interesting daily, from the dreadful accidents which have happened in that part which remains•for some yards at its ori ginal width, opposite the old Tithebarn, of about six yards; whilst all the rest of the street is sixteen yards wide. And it has, indeed, been often remarked that the Improvement Committee have added greatly to the danger of passengers by their taking down each end of the front of my premises, and leaving that abrupt projection in the middle. • The assertion of the anonymous writer, that I wanted the corporation to take The foundry off my hands is, I trust, set at rest by the foregoing; and it will be obvious to every one who o eives the matter a moment's thought, that the protection of the 17th clause of the act alluded to is truly indispensable in my case—for, if by waving that safeguard, I could fall into the corporation's scheme of now taking another part, they would, I can see from the disposition some of the Improvement Com mittee have evinced towards me, infallibly let my lease run out for the remainder of my premises, which comprise about half a statute acre of land. And on the other hand, should they be compelled, in regard to the safety of passengers, to conform to the act, by taking the whole, the corporation estate would not suffer a single farthing—because, if I - should decline the prefer ence of re-purchasing (to which I am entitled by the act), they could at once put it into full lease. and sell it to adv:oitage. had forgotten to mention that the other day I offered to let the corporation have what the street required in exchange for a re newed lease of the remainder, to commence from this FOREIGN INTELLIGENCE. BELGIUM. BRUSSELS, SEPT. 14.—A letter from Ostend of the 13th, says, —"Yesterday evening the iron steam-boat wl7ich is intended to navigate the canals of Belgium, arrived in port in seven hours from Ramsgate. The vessel will reinain some days at Ostend, where some alterations are to be made in the internal arrangement, in order-to make the cabins more convenient for the passengers. It is intended to ply regularly between Brus sells and Ostend, by our canals, the Ruppell, the Scheldts and the canals of Ghent, Bruges, and Ostend." -4 Lady Morgaiktho has been for some days at Brussels; is on the point of returning to England. The cholera continuing to rage in the prisons of Alsot and St. Bernard, orders have been given not to transfer any prisoner's to them for the present. We learn from good authority that M. Laverne of Nantes, was given up at the instance of his creditors through the medium of the - French ambassador, and who, after he left Brussels, was conducted' under an escort of gendarmes from station to sta tion on foot, succeeded in making his escape. The place of his retreat is unknown, but it is said he has been seen in Belgium. The review, at which the King will command, on the anni versary of September, will be only of the garrison of Brussels. On the 21th, bands of the 15th regiment of the line will arrive here. The Major-Geheral commanding the federal fortress of Lux emburg returned th that city on the Cth instant. General Haxo, per of France, with an aide-de-camp, passed through Luxemburg on the 9th, on his way to Frankfort. General Bersteil, Commander-in-Chief of the Prussian troops in the Rhenish . provinces, has arrived at Luxemburg: We in tended to exercise the garrison for three successive days on the ground without the walls of the fortress. The Chamber of Representatives continues the debate on the bud„cret of the nlinister of the interior. Their Majesties arrived at Namur on the 12th.—Brussels paper. THE LIVERPOOL STANDARD. AUSTRIA VIENNA, SEPT. .I.—lt is reported that our Emperor will shortly assume a new title. A fact which confirms this conjec ture is, that notice has been given to all publishers of ahnanacks for next year to delay the publication of them till the article genealogy, at the head of which are the titles of the Emperor of Austria, shall be corrected. All the private as well as the public accounts unanimously state that the Emperor, during his stay in Bohemia, has been gratified by numberless proofs of attachment and love, as never were manifested to such a degree on any former occasion. These family scenes, (for no other name will characterize this confidential intercourse between the prince and the subject,) are It t rendered particu fly affecting, by the circumstance that the Emperor, in a m ner, takes leave of his Bohemian people. " My dear childre ," he is wont to says, " unless very unex pected circumstances occur, it is not likely that I shall ever see you again." It may be imagined what an impresssion such words must make on the hearts of those to whom they were addressed, when spoken with the tone of an affectionate father. As the Emperor's health is very good, this presage seems only to indicate, that he intends in the evening of his life to visit all the people subject to his sway. Hungary, where his presence is most ardently desired, will probably be the first in turn. For some months past the Hungarian Diet has given no signs of life. Matters are discussed that can have no interest whatever for foreign countries; the scarcely attract any notice even at borne, Prince Matternich is expected in the middle of this month.— Nuremburg Correspondelit, Sept. 10. .

FRIDAY MORNING, SEPTEMBER 20, 1833. Lord PALMERSTON, we are assured by the ministerial papers, in the name of the convention of which he and M. TALLEYRAND are the only members, has sent his ulti matum to his Majesty the King of the NETHERLANDS. A categorical answer, it is also said, is demanded to this last of the last notes, and it is expected, as the lawyers say, " forthwith." Should his MAJESTY not comply with the terms proposed by this illustrious convention, in that case we are told that coercive measures will again be re sorted to. \ The answer to the threat of coercive measures at 'the present crisis is—the conference—the meeting of the northern powers! The noble Secretary for Foreign Affairs will be pleased to bear in mind, that pending the discussions at this conference of the allied sovereigns any thing like a menace, or any premature declaration of war, would instantly change the whole aspect of the question, and range the northern states on the side of Holland. England, if she only knew her own position or her own crippled state, has quite enough to do 'with Portugal at the present moment. Open resistance to the taxes has already commenced in London ! A printer in the neighbourhood of Lincoln's Inn, whose goods had been seized by the broker for ar rears of assessed taxes, succeeded in intimidating the man in possession so as to induce him to retire. The walhoof his house were placarded, intimating the circumstance of the distraint—effigies of the tax-collector and the broker were suspended from along pole put out at an upper win dow---a large mblvassembled—a deputation of the " Ma rylebone association for the abolition of the assessed taxes" visited the house—and, in short, every preparation was made for resistance, when the poor man who watched the goods, afraid of being murdered, made his escape.— This,.to say the least of it, looks like rebellion ! As soon as the officer was beaten off, the occupier of the house issued a sort of proclamation addressed to the rabble which had clone him such good service. . He says; "For your attendance this day I sincerely thank you. Should the tax-harpies again hssail me, I will immediately hoist my paper tocsin, and shall be again glad to see you. To my neighbours I would say, I have given you the hint; take it, or reject it; as von may think fit. If you will suffer yourselves to be robbed, I will not! If you prefer my course, the tax-gatherer and. the broker may be obliged to become useful producers in society; but if, on the other hand, you will continue patiently to be put off with false rirornisei,',they, like two mill-stones, will grind you to the earth. As long as you will bleed, the leeches will suck. Out of every two distraints by the King's tax broker, on an average one pauper is made, thereby adding to your poor rates, while the broker revelS on the destructiOn of his industrious neighbour. How many poor creatures, with their infant chil dren, have been driven to the workhouse through the rapacity of the King's tax gatherer!" This is something like a formal declaration of war against the authorities and the King. There is no ques tion but that the "neighbours," honest souls, will "take the hint," and when they do, there is an end to the law and the taxes. It remains to be seen what the govern ment and the King's Attorney-General will do in this matter. The Whigs have created the monster which now stands over them armed with a bludgeon. Lord F/TZ WILLIAM and Mr. WILLIAM BROUGHAM recommended the people on a recent occasion not to pay the taxes, and the people are now acting upon the advice. And•it is not the taxes only that they seem resolved not to pay. In Edinburgh they refuse to contribute to the support of the established clergy ; and as rapacity and injustice increase their demands the longer they are en dured,. it would not surprise us to see a refusal to pay rents become popular before another twelve-mouths. • Among .the commodities entering into. the list of our imports for consumption, sugar is, at the present time, of leading,consequence. Under every circumstance, and at all periods within the last half century, at least, this arti cle has been one of considerable moment, from the great extent to which it is used—the large revenue derived from it—and the important considerations, commercial and political, bound up with the scenes of its production. If this were so at all times antecedent to the present year, no one will, we think, venture to deny the increased in terest which attaches to our colonies, when the next few years may make them, with reference to their productive ness and consequent utility as the media of commercial intercourse, or the connecting links of British wealth and' British prosperity, little more than objects of historical recollection • ;—regretted sources of former power and riches, public and private ;—remote but prominent bea cons, marking once happy and prosperous spots, reduced 'by hasty and improvident principles of legislation=as clamorously demanded by misled philanthropy, as weakly adopted by ignorant and self-willed rulers—reduced, we say, under such circumstances and by such means, to wild wastes, the abodes of misery, and the scenes of those Crimes of which misery so brought about ever has and al ways will be most prolific. Little will it avail us when this state of things arrives—and arrive it must, unless IJrne miraculous change in the order of nature should be worked in our especial favour—little; indeed, will it avail us then to think of retracing our steps, to attempt 'a re-adjustment of our policy, and endeavour to place ourselves in the situation in which we stood before the suicidal acts of the present year were committed. All such thoughts and attempts will then be as unavailing as were the efforts of those experienced men, equally versed and interested in colonial affairs, who, from the commencement of the present year down to the period of the passing of the fatal act of abolition, oralred, vainly offered, their knowledge and experience, in check of that reckless spirit of innovation and destruc tion which, on this, as on numerous other questions of state .policy, had seized on the ministers of-•the Crown. A conviction that the decree which has gone forth from what was once the fountain of wisdom—the legislature of Britain—whose acts, in former days, were the results of calm deliberation—based in honour—having for their objects public and private happiness—directed to the sustenance of national honour, and of national and individual prosperity—and sent forth in terms and in manner alike consistent with their regard to these objects, and to the maintenance of the public faith at home and abroad ;—a conviction that the decree thus sent forth, from a body which once merited description in these terms, but is now, alas best described by its di rect reverse, must be final in its consequences upon their prosperity, has induced some of the colonies, and may, perhaps, lead the iemainder to acquiesce in this fraud upon their property—this violation of their hitherto un doubted and undisputed rights—this attempt to wrest from them their worldly wealth and sole means of sup port, to be compensated by something which, however large in itself, with reference to the public finances, con stitutes, at last, but a wretched pittance, a small divi dend upon that which will be annihilated by the law that gives to the colonies this fancied representative of a portion of their property. But 'the decree, we repeat, has gone forth—the seed is sown--tand bitter, most bitter, will be the fruits to be gathered. The first to suffer will be those most immediately interested—the resident colonists, who have the compound evil before their eyes of certain deprivation of property, and possible, if not probable, destruction of life. The next in the grade of suffering will be that class—more fortunate only, inasmuch as they are exempt from the risk of personal violence--rthe non resident proprietors the persons who, with their fami lies, are located in the western portions of the metropo lis, in Bath, Cheltenham; Clifte4, and nnmerosts other parts of the country, whose importance in the scale of society will only be fairly estimated when the cessation of the expenditure of what formerly constituted their abundant incomes shall open the eyes • of the various classes dependent upon that expenditure to their own changed positions; a change for which those classes are, we suspect, for the most part but little prepared. Next, is the diminution of mercantile capital, involved to an enormous extent in the affairs of the colonies. But will the evil rest here ? Little do they know of the bearings of the whole question, if any such there be, who enter tain that opinion. That which bears directly . with so much hardship upon the proprietors and upon the mer cantile interest immediately implicated, will also apply, although indirectly and collaterally, still with scarcely less disastrous consequences, to innumerable other in terests in the country, dependent upon the intercourse with our colonies. Which of our productive classes is likely to be exempted from the consequences that must inevitably attend the alarming injury inflicted upon the colonies ? Is it our manufacturers of piece goods ? Wit ness the thirty or forty millions of yards of cottons, the ten or twenty millions of yards of linens, and large quan tities of woollens, and almost every other description which, for a loug series of years, have annually found their way to Me colonies. Are our metallic branches likely to be exempt from the evil consequences ? An annual consumption of seven or eight thousand tons of iron, copper, brass, lead, tin, hardwares, and cutlery, we should incline to consider worth preserving. Will it affect other branches of manufacture ? Let those an swer who, interested or not, can estimate the value• of a supply, in each year, of five or six millions of pounds of soap and candles, of some millions of pieces of earthen ware, of twenty-five to thirty thousand cwts. of glass, of thirty to forty thousand dozens of hats, of ten thousand cwts. of cordage, and innumerable other articles of ma nufacture to a large amount. Will our soil, in the va rious direct productions of its surface or its bowels, and t he fisheries of our coasts escape ? If an annual exportation to the West Indies of 150 or 200,000 cwts. of provisions, of 60 or 70,000 barrels of herrings, of 10 to 15,000 casks of beer, of 60 or 70,000 bushels of salt, of 50,000 tons of coals,—if these, and large quantities of every other production, agricultural or manufacturin g , be of no importance . to the country in its present state; then are our views exaggerated; and the evil is limited far within our scale of apprehension. But we have not done. Is the employment of nearly 1000 sail of large ships, measuring about 250,000 tons, and navigated by 12 or 14,000 seamen, engaged in the direct trade between these countries and the colonies, to pass for nothing ? Nor must we overlook the extensive traffic carried on, and consequent employment of ship ping in the intercourse between the West Indian colo nies and British America, the loss of which would be almost as severely felt in this country, as if it were car ried on with us directly. Important as are these considerations, they are still far from constituting the sum of what presses upon our notice with reference to the West Indies. They apply, in fact, almost exclusively to the expenditure of income here, and the export of manufactures and produce to those devoted portions of the empire. We have next to con sider the consequences that will flow from the certain di minution, and, as regards many articles, the ultimate probable suspension of supplies of those products which custom has rendered indispensable to the comfort of every class of persons in Great Britain ;—and of which sugar is the most essential. When we see an importa tion of the value of six or seven millions sterling per an num it this one commodity, and an average net revenue of nearly five millions per annum derived from it, placed in jeopardy 6y the course of proceedings to which we have here adverted, it behoves us anxiously to inquire where the supplies both of sugar and of money are henceforward to be obtained. We fear the British pub lic and the CHANCELLOR of the EXCHEQUER will both learn, when it may be too late to remedy the evil, that the derangement of established systems is much easier than their restoration ;—that the destruction and the re construction of manufactures, whether of cotton- cloth in England or of sugar in the Tropics, are not either sy nonYmous in terms, or matters of equal facility in prac tice ;—that it is less difficult to throw away than to con quer and organize colonial possessions ;—and that, al though the surrender of power, political or commercial, and the annihilation of interests, public and private, may be of easy accomplishment, by any set of men sufficiently desperate to make the attempt, the-re-acquirement of that power, and the re-establishment of those interests may be a task surpassing the talents of the wisest and most accomplished statesmen. We have been led to this length by the importance of the :question, when our intention, at the outset, was, merely to make a few observations, prefatory to an ana lytical view of the sugar trade for a series of years past. That object we must now defer to a future number. It is singularly flattering to modern wisdom to find that, among the liberals, those who raised the loudest veil in favour of reform, and who were prepared to bludgeon any man to death who should say a word in dispraise of their favourite bill, are the very men who now express the strongest disapprobation, and speak in the most disrespectful terms, of the reformed Parliament. This may be accounted for in two ways : First, the worthy patriots who during the mania ob tained admission into the national assembly unexpectedly, and who found themselves, when there, to be as much out of their element as fish out of water, or as Humphrey Clinker in the drawing-room, are naturally enough dis appointed, or rather chagrined, at the figure they have cut, the failure they have made, the jeers they have caused, and the merriment they have excited. Such men as FAITHFUL of Brighton, BUCKINGHAM of Sheffield, WILLIAMS of Ashton, PETER of some place in Corn wall, FIELDEN of Oldham, WALLACE of Greenock, and some fifty others, all of the same class and kind, are no more competent to offer an opinion on any question involving th 6 interests of this country than the most ob scure and illiterate clodhopper 'in it. They have been thrust forward to occupy a position which nature never intended they should occupy, or as if some goodnatured friends had done. it in a joke merely to make theM ridicu lons for a season. For this - reason-these men are vexed SEPTEMBER 20, 18334 and annoyed beyond measure, without being conscious that they have committed any fault or neglected any duty.' Secondly, these patriots, finding that the✓ hare failea within the house, are anxious to explain to their consti tuents why they have failed, and at the same time en' deavour to cajole them into a continuance of their apPre' bation. Hence their meetings and feasting in the country—hence their toasts and interminable speeches' and hence the bitterness of their reproaches against 0 * Parliament which they principally aided in reforming and degrading. In all that they say we heartily concur, with this die' ference, that they themselves, in their own proper person*, , are the strongest living objections that can be urg e 4 against the reformed house. They, of course, do not oe' it, but other men saw it from the first, that the adiniisi°° of such members would bring the Parliathent into coil: tempt, neutralize every effort v for the public good• and make men laugh at their representatives who had Doo r before been accustomed to levity. It 'is not reform ab stractedly that has brought the British Parliament in to obloquy, but the members themselves, the elite of th e reform bill, the creatures of the unions, the pledge d delegates who have entered into obligations to do t hat , which, thank Heaven, is beyond the powet of such dis reputable instruments. In a town scantily supplied %via l water it would be a laudable enterprise, on the part of II company, to dig wells in every street ; but the inhabitaots would not thank the company if they were to pump ° P a compound of rpt d ten eggs and sulphur, and inundate the streets with bilgt. This is precisely the case with the reform bill. We do not complain of reform so much u° we do of the reformed members. We object to it be cause it excludes from the house the talent and respects' bility of the country, and fills it with quacks and charlatang —men alike destitute of sound information and good principles. However,, some of these worthies4ave,Asithin the last few days, bad theit junkettings with their constituents and first and foremost on the list stand Mr. FAITHFUL? 01 Brighton, and. Mr. BUCKINGHAM, the independent rerre* sentative of the very respectable town of Sheffield. W e select these two towns as being new boroughs which have exercised the suffrage for the first time, and the mem bers for which as being tolerably fair specimens of the ne' c representativeveturned under the reform bill. It is im• possible to tell *hat sort of people congregated at the Brighton feast ; but we may hazard a surmise from th e fact that one of the company, having presumed to dissent from some of the unbearable nonsense uttered by FAIT° . FUL, was instantly kicked out of the room, repeatedly knocked dow4y some ruffian, and narrowly esca p e d be' ing murdet ed. • . i) this sensitive or sanguinary rabble Mr. FAITHFUL adlressed these words : " I predicted, that if you expected much from the refortnet Parliament, you would be woefully disappointed ; and I cantione o you against reposing unlimited and unqualified confidence the ministry. Has a single measure been passed by the Far Lament tending to the relief of the people ? I defy any mantel point to such a measure. It is true they have taken the duty off tiles (laughter) ;' but I can't make tiles, and you cant' make r tiles, and so the duty repealed is put only into the tile-maker'. pocket. It was clear the house had no disposition to relieve the people; its object was to preserve a vagabond Whig administration' (Tumults of applause.)" Mr. BUCKIAHAM, in language nearly as refined, es• pressed similar 4timents. Speaking of the House of Commons, and the manner in which they conducted themselves during their sittings, he declared, "that thee was not such it disorderly assembly in tOpeorld. Eves the negroes of Arica, who met together to transact their business under the shade of a tree, were not half so bar We take their words for it—both FAITHFUL and Buck INGHAM are honourable men and candid to excess—and the House of Commons is exactly the bear-garden whieil they describe. All this is most unquestionably true. Afri can savages deliberate with more decorum, and the °ill,' object of a majority of the representatives of the nation is to " preserve a ragqbond Whig administration." True , gentle sirs, most true; but, by the way, who formed Oil house, the members of which support a " vagabond admi nistration ?" The same sort of people, we conjecture, who returned Messrs. FAITHFUL and BUCKINGHAM to Parliament—who have returned MARK PHILIPS, Joart ; GULLY, Colonel WILLIAMS, Captain BAYNTUN, WHIV TLE HARVEY 11r. 'HAWES, Sr SAMUEL WHALLEY, W* BROUGHAM, and Sir JOHN KEY. In former Parliaments we had no complaints of any serious obstruction to pub lic business. This nuisance, then, which honest FAITS FUL and respectable Mr. BUCKING HA M both d e plo re , NO had its origin in the new constituency of the reformed Parliament. It is the reformers—the whole bill men---- who roar, and brawl, and jabber, and bray, in order to keep a " vagabond administration" in power. They prop them and sustain them; simply because they know that with ther "vagabonds" a majority of that house must stand or fall. They know that if a dissolution were to take place, their honourable career would be at an end. Now all this is a proof to us that instead of it being desirable that reform should be pushed farther, it 110 already gone too far. The grievance of which Kilning , and BUCKINGHAM complain satisfies us that neither Sheffield nor Brighton should ever have been permitted to return members at all. The samples which these towns have sent are of spurious metal, stamped of course as genuine, but made for sale nevertheless, for ready money, 'at a low price. In one part of his speech we observe thai*EINTHFIrt. advocates republican sentiments. He says " tbereis plenty of the spirit (of republicanism) every where, and I fervently hope it may increase, c5-c.' What a satire is this upon the loyal inhabitants of Brigh ton, a town which owes its very existence to royalty. which is supported by the aristocracy, and which if it were deserted by the wealthy, would sink into its erigi nal insignificance—an obscure hamlet upon a patch of barren chalk by the sea side. When such a man is re. turned for such a town as Brighton there must be some thing rotten in the country—the nobles.must be'destitute of energy—all the impulses of loyalty . and patriotism must be dormant—the middle classes must be demoralised and ungrateful—the pride of the young checked—tbe recollections of the old chilled. With respect to Sheffield, the choice that its elector's have made in the person of JAMES SILK 'BUCKINGHAM is another strong argument against reform. Is there no gentleman resident in Sheffield, no respectable manu facturer in the town, no individual of sufficient standing and reputation, that they are compelled to import this political quack from some . almost unknown lane in Lon don ? 'He is of no more use in Parliament than would be one of the African savages of whom he has made such honourable mention ; his place, like theirs, should be under the tree. But we are sick of such worthies and their " vagabond administration."—N.B. By the way, svg are curious to learn if Mr. FAITHFUL be a member of the Temperance SOCIETY ? The sentiments recently expressed by the Bishop Of EXETER relative to a union between the Church and the Wesleyan Methodists have led, we regret to say, to some unpleasant controversy in London. A paper called the Christian Advocate, which still professes to be the organ of the Methodists, has committed the unpardon able folly of attacking the Prelates of the Church, - . and of misrepresenting the opinions of the most respectable portion of the ministers and members of its own con nexion. In consequence of these misrepresentations no less than sixty-four of the leading ministers have withdraw a their patronage from the journal in question, and have in the most candid and unequivocal terms disclaimed its sentiments, and deprecated its undeserved and invidiou s censures. _ vv That these most respectable clergymen have not acted hastily, or without being urged to the course they 10 05 taken by the most irresistible inducements, will appear by the following extract from the Christian Advocate itself •• • " Unfortunately for the church, the union, however dishable) for her, is hopeless and impracticable. In taking it for granted, that the overture would be received with much gratitude by t" Methodists, and that they would think themselves but too happy to be ' pressed to the bosom of the church,' the Bishop ofExet c r has made one great mistake. They know, at least, that at one time the church was disposed to give them a bear's hug ; and it would be difficult to persuade them that the leopar d is the _ ~ only animal which cannot change its nature. But the dread or being crushed is not the only motive by which thellllethodis? would . be induced, to Shut their ears against these sulooti) WHALE FISHERY.
