Tic tiberpool ;NanDart'. TUESDAY MORNING, JANUARY 1, 1833. WITH the opening of the new year commences an im portant era in the history of our country. An experi ment upon a vast scale has been tried. The framework of our venerable constitution has been essentially changed. The result of the experiment, in all its searehing conse quences, is yet to be ascertained. The Church and all our civil institutions,—the integrity of the empire, do xnestic and colonial,—in short, the most momentous sub jects which ever engaged human deliberation, are to be submitted to a Parliament, chosen by an excited and, in many cases, an unreflecting and infatuated constituency. That extensive changes, whether for good or evil, are in evitable, we foresee, and not without apprehension: " The wide, the unbounded prospect lies before us, But shadows, clouds, and darkness rest upon it." Our hope and confidence is in the overruling power of a gracious Providence, which has long extended its Al mighty aid to this favoured land. When we behold vio lence and infidelity prevail, we rest in firmest hope that it will be but for a season ; that "HE maketh the wrath of man to praise him ;—the remainder of wrath doth he re- strain." With feelings and sentiments suited to the sacred fes tival which the Christian world have so recently celebrat ed, we wish our friends (and our enemies, if we have any) a happy new year. We wish it, in the-best and most ex tended sense. May they be happy in themselves, happy in their families, and happy in their public avocations. The same wish do we express, from the depths of our hearts, for our beloved country. May she long continue to hold her high station among the nations of the world; and, in order that she may do so, let her counsellors never forget, that it is righteousness which exalteth a nation, _and that szn is a reproach of any people. "Alba fuit ;"—Antwerp, as we announced in our last Publication, has fallen, and with it has perished the righte ous cause of a nation's freedom struggling for its exist encq. What the immediate reason for General Chasse's surrendering may have been, whether despair of success or the influence of humane feeling, matters now but lit tle. The noble resistance already offered to such an overwhelming force, had sufficiently established, on the part of Holland, her deep-rooted sense of the justice of her cause, and her determination to defend it with all her wonted bravery. _ "And by whom," asks the remote foreigner," who has heard " British Freedom" and " French Liberty" so . loudly vaunted in contradistinction to the thraldom of other European nations,—" by whom has the inglorious deed been perpetrated ? What despots have thus stained their hands in the blood of an unoffending people, strug gling for its country's rights ; surely no other than the Northern Autocrat, aided, perhaps,by his unholy brethren of the Alliance?" What will be the amazement of this foreigner,—how will his dreams of European liberty be dissipated,—when he is told that England has united with France to do certain political evil, that problematical po litical good may come out of it:—in other words, to dis member the Dutch territory, professedly on behalf of a people attached by interest to its late, and unattached by affection to its new sovereign,—in order that the assumed occasion for a general war may not arise in the single handed contest that would otherwise ensue between the two legitimate combatants, Holland and Belgium ! It Were idle to recur to the oft-established proof of the injustice that has guided the councils of the united cabi nets, and that has thus paved the way to the now virtual, and hereafter actual aggrandisement of France. It is not for us to be the keeper of her national honour ;—let her look to it herself. But how bitter are our reflections, how humbled is our national pride, when we recollect the part that England has borne in attempting to crush the spirit of an Old and faithful ally 1 Reader, are you a proud man ?and if so, have you ever experienced that bitterest'of pangs, the consciousness of subjugation, in a just cause, to the overpowering force of an unjust adver sary ? If you have, appeal to your own breast, and ask yourself, what must be the present state of feeling in Holland, when, united as one man in defending the so vereignty over her own rivers, and the possession of her own fortresses, she has, at length, bowed her unbroken spirit to the summons of brute force ? The moral to be learnt from this sad event may, in deed, prove useful to others, who will thus profit by our disgrace. They will learn afresh, that the national ho nour should be entrusted only to those who are capable of watching over it jealously, and defending it success fully. On the other hand, we have to lament the effect too likely to be produced upon the civilized world by the example that has thus been offered of the tyrannical use of physical force ; and we have to lament, too, the feel ing, that has been engendered, and that now pervades the great mass of our fellow-countrymen—that of national degradation, and hostility to the Cause in which we have borne arms. True, we have not been foremost in the fight; our blood, thank God, has not been mingled with that of "The French;" but morally, politically, actually, our responsibility is. the same. •We have shared the deed,---iwe must share the disgrace I" Much . do we fear that we= must now become, as relates to this question, " A fixed figure for the hand of scorn, To point his slow unmoving finger at." . • Yet, one consolation is left us, and it is, that when our banner shall once more be unfurled.in an English cause, the name of " Antwerp" will not there be found to daunt the heart of him that bears it, nor will it share a place in the veteran's cap ,with those of " Peninsula" and ." Wa terloo," MR. STANLEY'S SPEECH.—It is as important to the cause of truth that this document should .be well under stood, as it is to the cause of the Mercury that it should be ill undeistood. Its Editor has been at his work: we must be at ours. He laments that he hid . the week before, commented, unhappily, on a speech which 'had not read, in any thing like 'a trustworthy form. It is rather singular, that THE LIVERPOOL STANDARD. he has now commented at least as unhappily on this same speech, after he professes to have read it in a trustworthy form. Unless our eyes deceive us, we read in the last Mercury the following words : " Mr. Stanley and his colleagues may not choose to identify themselves, as ministers, with any ulterior measure affecting the Reform Bill, such as abridging the duration of Parliaments, extending the suffrage, or voting by ballot. In whatever light they may view .these changes, they will not, it, seems, bring them forward themselves." What means this hypothetical language, on points which Mr. Stanley's speech has put as directly and cate gorically as it was possible to do? what inference could be drawn from this paragraph, but that there was no clear intimation, in Mr.. Stanley's speech, of the course which the members of the Government, as members of the Government, would be bound to pursue ? A little lower, however, the MerCury lets the cat out of the bag. " When Mr. Stanley declares it to be the determination of ministers to resist every effort for an extension of Parliamentary Reform." &c. But this the ingenious Editor contrives to interpret as merely a refusal to proceed unless "pushed on by the irresistible vox populi:" i. e: the Unions and the Press. According to our interpretation this " irresistible" voice, of the Mercury and its friends, is exactly what ministers are pledged to resist. Let our readers judge whether we are warranted in our interpretation. Mr. Stanley says, in p. 5 of his speech,— "If therefore, gentlemen, it should be attempted in another Parliament to bring forward any of those sweep ing motions for shortening the duration of Parliaments, and extending yet further the elective franchise, or of introducing that which I believe is falsely styled the protection of the ballot, to those measures, as individuals, and as members of the Government,—we are bound, and I announce at once and openly .our determination—to give a decided opposition. (Applause.)" We have looked in vain for any qualifying appendage to this manly__declaration, for any tiling bearing the re motest resemblance to the stultifying and nullifying comment of the Mercury, " unless pushed on by the irre sistible vox populi." PROSPECTS OF THE COUNTRY.—There are two essen tially different characters, either of which great popular movements may assume. In the earlier stages of their progress, all their features are alike : but, at a certain point, their paths diverge. Unhappily the name remains unchanged, long after the substance has undergone essential alterations. They commence, of course, under the title of resist ance to oppression and abuse. We say, of course, be cause, whatever be the real motives of those who stimu late and direct the movement, they are compelled to adopt these as their ostensible principles. If they acted otherwise, they could not rouse the people, nor obtain a sufficient mass of physical power to work their will ; and, unhappily, there commonly exists quite enough of misery among the lower orders, to form a groundwork for political agitation. After the attack has proceeded to a certain point, and the assailants are, in a measure, released from those pru dential restraints which kept them on their good beha viour ; after, in short, having acquired a pfeponderating power, they are compelled, by the progress of events, to indicate their determination as to the mode in which that power is to be made use of and applied : a new crisis has ,arrived, and two alternatives are open. Either the domi nant party sets earnestly to work with those measures of practical amendment which it is now enabled to model at will; or, neglecting measures of practical good, it car ries still farther its desires for abstract change, and thereby manifests, too late, perhaps, for present preven tion of the evil; but not too late for the instruction of posterity, the baseness and insincerity of its professions; and shows its intention to have been, not to remedy abuse, but to snatch its pr ofits from the hands of others, in order to enjoy and to enlarge them for itself ; not to minister fairly to the wants and interests of all classes of society, but to play one class against another, until all are enfeebled, impoverished, and reduced to such a state of lassitude and indifference, that they have lost alike the feelings of appetite for power, and of repugnance to oppression,—till they have gone through so long and so exhausting a course of excitement, that suffering itself be comes far more endurable than exertion. This is the har vest time of your, true Revolutionist; he fills the vacant throne of power for himself, and for himself alone. In such a crisis as this,- our beloved country is at pre sent placed. It now remains to see what will be th e course of the party which has carried the Reform Bill into a law. It will either direct its attention to measures of practical legislation, in that case deserving, and, we hope, insuring the support of all true Conservatives; or it will lend itself as fatally as heretofore, to measures of wild and indiscriminating change in the institutions of the country, and commit itself once more to the Political Unions and Revolutionary Press. That Press will still continue, whatever may befal, to labour faithfully in its vocation of falsehood and slander. That would be a wise and good government which should manifest an intention to resist all further advances towards republicanism, and seriously to bestir itself to amend our practical legislation ; to preserve social order, by the extinction of illegal unions; to discountenance the licen tiousness as well as maintain the liberty of the press ; to foster the trading interests of this country, by avoiding all that shakes public credit and confidence ; above all, to consider and relieve the condition of our peasantry, crippled in physical comforts and.debased in mental inde pendence by the operation of the poor laws in particular, but also by the unhappy Beer Law; and to provide some antidote for that bane to the morals, and to the health of our manufacturing population, the present factory system. Particularly must they attend to these latter points. No government which now omits them, can deserve the support of honest men. It is in vain that the Conserva tives would exert themselves to maintain our institutions : —those institutions are not worth the maintaining, un less something, unless much be' done, to elevate the con- ' dition and character. of that population for whose use and benefit they are designed. As fellow-labourers in this cause, we hail alike men of all parties. Would to God that we could lay aside, in reality and truth, the jea lousies of party, and the appetite for power, and seriously and dispassionately consider those awful and overwhelm ing difficulties and dangers which are in store for us, unless the wisdom and strength of the Legislature devise a remedy for evils now rapidly eating into the very heart of our national character. A national character is of slow growth, and therefore also of slow consumption. But its restoration is slower than either. Under the influence of silently, but most effectually, operating causes, the national character of the lower classes in this country, which forms, be it remembered, the only sure basis of national greatness and glory, has been gradually declining. In the manu•• facturing districts, children are brought up in alarming depravity and ignorance ; in the agricultural parts of the country, that sense of independence, which is so intimately interwoven with the feeling of moral obliga tion, is attenuated almost to extinction ; and as, if one plague more were wanting to complete the ruin of the English peasant, we have been visited with the inunda tion of beer shops, caused by the act of 1830. With these evils is connected the deficiency in the means of the church establishment to meet the growing evil, and the misappropriation of some of those funds which it actually does possess. Our rulers must remember their duty, as before God, to provide, up to the uttermost of their means, for the spiritual as well as the physical improvement of the people whom he has committed to their care. Let our Government reform the Poor Laws, substituting, if it be practicable, the system of spade cultivation; let them extinguish the beer shops; let them regulate the factory system ; let them provide for the Christian education of the people; let them proceed cautiously - and sparingly with all changes, except such as are of an evidently practical• tendency, and they will confer on the country inestimable advantages; they will redeem their own characters in the eyes of its most respectable and influen tial inhabitants; they will more than counterbalance the evil they have done, by their rash Reform Law and the unscrupulous means they used to carry it. They will do all this; but will they receive the support of the Politi cal Unions and thßevolutionary Press ? We trust they may : a portion at least will be reclaimed; a large portion we fear will not. But they will have the support of the king, of the legislature, of the religion, influence, and property of the country ; of the nation at large , from the highest to the lowest, except where small fractions of it are unfortunately misled, by the abomin able machinations of demagogues whose intentions are simply these,—first, to delude their followers to the de struction of others, and then, to destroy those followers themselves. IT was not our intention to have noticed a correspond ence which appeared in the Liverpool papers of last week, and in which the editor of the Albion figures conspicu ously, but the attempt which this individual makes in his paper of yesterday, to justify the assertion of a wilful and deliberate falsehood, demands exposure. We will, very briefly, review the facts. The article which has given rise to the correspondence appeared in the Albion of 24th December, under the head of , " The late Election." After stating, that at a meeting of a deputation from Lord Sandon and Sir Howard Douglas's committees on the Wednes day morning of the election, " the Douglasites proposed to commence proceedings on Thursday, by paying the old freemen their wages, as an inducement to vote for Lord Sandon and. Sir Howard Douglas, and which propo sition was rejected by the Sandonites ;" the article con cludes thus :—" What the worthy aldermen (Leyland and Robinson) proposed to do was, we have not the slightest doubt, actually, carried into effect, and brought the free men forward in overwhelming numbers to vote for Lord Sandon and Sir Howard Douglas," &c. &c. The editor of the Albion admits, in his letter of 25th December, that when called on by Mr. P. Wright, the law agent of Sir Howard Douglas's committee, " he felt not the slightest hesitation. in informing him, that the paragraph was in consequence of a communication he had with Mr. James- Heyworth." In the same letter the edi tor of the Albion writes—" I have not the slightest doubt that his (Mr. Heyworth's). object (in calling on me) was to state to me, personally, that I had, in my editorial ca ' pacity, been guilty of an injustice to Lord Sandon's friends, in expressing, in my paper, my conviction that treating and bribery had been practised at the late elec t hon." Knowing such to be the object of Mr. Hey worth's communication, the editor of the Albion puts for ward a statement as directly opposite as possible, assert ing that Lord Sandon's election was effected by bribery, in paying the freemen's wages ; and, for this statement, he has the unblushing effrontery to give Mr. Heyworth as his authority. The purpose of the respectable gen tleman whose name has thus been introduced, in refer ring to what had passed at the meeting of the deputations, was, manifestly, to show that a proposal to pay even the small sum of two shillings and sixpence to every free man was decidedly rejected. His naming the leading and influential members of the two committees, who were present, leaves the matter perfectly free from any doubt. Yet it is upon this communication that the edi tor .of the Albion dares to charge, in direct terms, such men as Mr . . Leyland and Mr. Robinson With bribery. The letter in yesterday's Albion, from the editor, is one of the most abject publications we have ever read. Having asserted, in his letter of 25th December, that Mr. Heyworth expressed his willingness to the statement being made Inown, the editor, in his paper . of yesterday, says, " the supposition that the statement would be pub lished never, it is probable, crossed Mr. Heyworth's mind. I inferred," he adds, " from his statement, that the deputies held what might be considered a close, if not a secret meeting; and that when_ he used the words—' a proposal was made to us,'—the proposal proceeded, as a matter of course, from the Douglasites to the Sandonites." The affected anxiety of the editor of the 41bion to ,ap peal to the public in vindication of his character is very ludicrous. He may compose and comfort himself with the consciousness that no one can injure his character. There are some men, whom it is impossible to lower in public estimation. THE BALL, last night, at the Town-hall, for the benefit the ladies' charity, (about 900 tickets having been sold,) was attended by about 780 persons. The dancing commenced soot after nine, and continued until an early hour this morning.— We regret to add, that we did not notice amongst the number those influential families belonging to this town and its neigh bourhood, whose presence would have given a tone, and bee' an encouragement to other individuals, to come forward in th cause of charity. On Friday last the half-yearly public examination of th children educated in the Corporation Free-schools took placf before the worshipful the Mayor, and a highly respectable though not very numerous, party of ladies and gentlemen. The manner in which the children acquitted themselves ii reading, arithmetic, and their religious exercises, evinced perfect acquaintance with the various studies in which the' were examined, and met with the approbation of all present The Mayor, through the Rev. Rector Campbell, by whom th examination was conducted, intimated to the children the satit faction he had experienced in witnessing their proficiency, am expressed a hope that they would carry with them into private life, the lessons of order and piety which had there been meal cated, and that, through the blessing of the Almighty, the' might grow with their growth, and strengthen with the;' strength.—The modest and cleanly appearance of the girl was particularly observable, and gave a fair promise of thei becoming, in after-life, not eye-servants, but servants of God. in discharging the duties of their several stations with humilit' and cheerfulness, and obedience to their superiors. LONDON LATEST NEWS. (From our Correspondent.) LONDON, Saturday Evening, half-past 7 o'clock. The chief topic of public attention to-day has been the future position of the Dutch Monarch, whose refusal to deliver up his fort; at the nod of Marshal Gerard, has caused some alarm among our spe• culators who discern in it the germ of future war. The consequene( of this has been that Consols for the account, which on Thursday were done as high as 86, have been to-day at 851, closing at 851 1 In our Foreign market a similar reaction has taken place. Th( highest quotation of the Northern Bonds since our last advice, haS. been 1001 for Russi n, 701 for Danish, 43 for Dutch, and 761 for Be/ g►ian. The closing quotation for Dutch was 421 I, for Belgian, 754 for Russian, 994 1004, and for Danish, 691 70. There has been sour little enquiry for Spanish Bonds within the last day or two, and th( quotation has advanced to 164 4, which is the closing price this af. ernoon. The general belief that M. Zea Bermudez will not long re• tain office at Madrid, is the reason given for the improvement. W have been without any intelligence of the slightest moment from Por tugal for the last few days, and there is no business doing in either the Stock or the Scrip. Some mention of a new Austrian Loan has been made within thi last day or two, but we know nothing certain on the subject. On corroborating event is that Mr. Solomon Rothschild passed throng] Frankfort, on his way to Vienna, a short time since, and has arrived in that capital. Our last accounts from the Mauritius state that a violent tempest had destroyed full one-third of the crop, the loss to the Planters being extreme. Sugars were quoted at 41 to 5 piastres. At Bourbon, thr finest sugars are at 61, and coffee is quoted at 15 piastres per bale. We learn from St. Petersburgh that, up to the Ist Oct., the exports from Taganrock during the year were 9,336,608 roubles of tnerchndi. and the imports were 5,563,560. The exports from Marianpol during the same period were 2,682,054 roubles. We observe an account from Bombay, stating the receipt of a lett from Persia, with intelligence that the Prince, Abbas Mirza, had 0. dered 30,000 men to march upon Hirat, and that this movement wa 4 only the prelude to an advance upon India conjointly with Russi This, whether a mere on dit or possessing any foundation, seems have caused some excitement at Bombay. We find, by the accounts from Oran, to the 24th ult. that the French had succeeded in establishing regular markets there, which had begun to be well attended. The latest accounts from Malacca confirm the intelligence of the ter mination of the Malacca war, by the capture of Tabu, the residence of the Pang,uloo, who had fled into the interior. A reward of 1000 dollars had been offered for his apprehension. Our port letters of this morning inform us of two Dutch vessels sent in by our men of war ; one the Paramaribo, from Surinam, bound to Amsterdam, sent into Margate Roads, by H. M. S. Volage • and the other the Indien, from Batavia, bound to Rotterdam, sent into Ports' mouth, by H. M. S. Ada. I / A 1 STIIANGiItS' FRIEND St.).A. THE ANNUAL MEETING of the the CHARITABLF.

The learning of a " Theban," he ghonld be aware, may be perfectly consistent with an entire ignorance of Latin, and, notwithstanding its recent Stteet-en-ing the rulgar tongue, we presume, will still he the prevailing dialect in Bib"' lane.
