fLiberpool Otantrarb. TUESDAY MORNING, APRIL 2, 1833. Our next publication day being Good Friday, the STAN DARD will be Published as usual, but the Office will close at Eleven o'clock in the morning. Those of our subscribers, therefore, whose offices will not be open on that day will be pleased to send for their papers as early in the morning as possible. • The STANDARD will be kept for sale during the whole day at Messrs. Wilmer and Smith's, Church-street, and at Mr. Arnold's, Post-office-place. THE affairs of Don Pedro are not rendered more intel ligible by the contradictory accounts which have appeared during the last few days in the London journals. There has been some skirmishing about provisions, but that is all that the Scotch fusileers and the St. Giles' fencibles seem to care about, and this upon the old maxim, per haps, that he who will not fight for his bread would not fight for his king. The poor adventurers are in a miser able state of starvation, and hunger drives men to desper ate expedients, and pays no respect to stone walls. The ex-Emperor we are told is still animated by excellent spirits and his troops are full of hopes. These last we suspect are more abundant than their rations or their chances of success. We suspect that none of the sol diers are animated after the manner of their. chief. It will be seen by an advertisement inserted in another page that a requisition, numerously and respectably signed, and embracing men of all parties, was yesterday presented to the Mayor requesting him to call a public meeting to consider the propriety of petitioning parlia ment in favour of a modified system of poor laws for Ire land. His worship has appointed Monday next for the holding of the meeting at the Court-room. We rejoice to perceive that this important question has thus early been taken up by our fellow townsmen, for it is one which has been too long neglected, involv ing as it does the peace and happiness of Ireland, and the relief of those classes in this country upon whom £8,000,000 of poor rates press most severely. It ma3 l be a complicated question ; but in all those cases where justice appears in the foreground, and ne cessity makes her appeal to mercy, we should put away from us some of our superfluous prejudices, burn our books of political economy, commit Malthus to the unfa thomable deep, and make some effort in right earnest to correct our past errors, and minister to the wants of the most oppressed peasantry on the face of the earth. Ire land is not a poor country; it is her labouring population only - who are poor. The grinding system that pervades Ireland keeps these, people poor in spite of all their exer•- tions. Their very poverty imposes a serious tax upon the labourers and rate payers of England. Every far thing paid in this country for the support of Irish pau pers, or the removal of Irish paupers, or the maintenance of those English labourers whom the Irish deprive of em ployment, is a bounty in favour of indigence and high rents in the sister island. We are glad, therefore, to see a meeting callod for the purpose of removing this stain upon the policy of both countries, and we trust it will be numerously attended. The Irish coercion bill was read a third time, and passed the Commons, on Friday last. The bill has been so pum melled and cudgelled, a /a Donnybrook, in its progress through the house, that we are totally unable to discover any one of its original features. How the measure is likely to work we consequently cannot conjecture, and we opine that Lord Althorp is quite as oblivious as 'our selves. WE are gratified to learn that Colonel Dawson Da mer's petition against the election of Mr. Thomas Glad. stone for the borough of Portarlington has been dis missed by the Committee, despite the silly insinuations of Mr. Wason, and the misrepresentations of a certain officious gentleman connected with Liverpool, whose name is too notorious at the present , moment to bear be ing repeated in the pages of the STANDARD. The petitioner, either from a want of means or inclina tion, or more probably from a spirit of disingenuous pro crastination, had not thought proper to bring forward his witnesses. He had the assurance, however, to ask for more time, which the Committee, considering the vexa tious delay which had already taken place, refused to grant. There was consequently an end to the petition. NEARLY all that has recently been said about contem plated changes in the ministry has at length proved true. Lord Goderich has been removed from the Colonial of fice, and Mr. Stanley from the secretary-ship of Ireland. The latter has been advanced to a higher station, while the former has been shoved into a humbler berth, merely to render his fall more easy, and give him an opportunity to slip out of the cabinet by a sort of back-stairs passage where he will be less liable to be observed, and not so much exposed to the jeers of his particular friends. Poor Lord Goderich • Wtve we not seen him stand ing, to use his own bright metaphor,. " under the portals of a constitutional monarchy," proclaiming to the world the unrivalled and unexampled prosperity of his country, counting the capons which were to fall into the poor man's kettle, and the guineas which were to drop into his pocket? Yes,. oh, yes, we saw the sunshine of Mr. Frederick Itobinson's prosperity, and it was delusive and valueless as " reek i' the rotten fens." It was a summer of the ima gination, speedily followed by a real arctic winter—all cloud and gloom, and storms. In the spring of 1825, the noble Viscount was Chancellor of the Exchequer, and notwithstanding this boasted prosperity, we were as a nation, six months afterwards, and, according to the tes timony of Mr. Huskisson, within twenty--four hours of a state of barter. The panic came, like the pestilence which walks by night, and swept away the goodly edifice built on the sands by his Majesty's minister's. The " run" on the banks dissipated the golden dreams of Lord Goderich and his brother philosophers, and the country was only THE LIVERPOOL STANDARD. preserved from overwhelming ruin by an issue of one pound notes of the Bank o 9 England, which were fortui tously discovered in a dark chamber of that establishment. But the noble viscount did not sink under this unex pected load of disappointments. The retirement of Lord Liverpool in 1827, raised Mr. Canning to the of fice of - Prime minister and Chancellor of the Exche quer, thus raising • Mr. Robinson to the peerage, under his present title, and removing him from a situation the financial duties of which he was deemed incompetent to discharge. His blunders as minister of finance were in many respects as glaring as those of Lord Althorp, and much more injurious to the interests of the country. He was nevertheless deemed capable of administering • the affairs of :the colonies. Having failed in one department this was considered the very best possible recommenda tion_ in. favour of his filling another. Having swamped the Treasury, he was fully qualified to inundate the West•lndies. The noble Lord's good intentions, however, were placed under some restraint by the sudden demise of AIL Canning in the summer of 1827, for to the astonishment Of the nation, he becanie the successor of Mr. Canning, and was placed at the head . of the ministry, The Gode rich administration was, as most of our readers will recol lect, of the most curious assemblages of strange birds that ever was collected in a menagerie. The parrot and the Solan goose—the daw and the screech owl—the heron and the woodpecker—the magpie and the tom-tit-- were all caged together, pecking each other without in termission, to the serious interruption of the public busi ness, though to the vast diversion of the public. This kind of civil war could not of course be endured very long. The,King in mercy opened the' viiciO, and the birds flew away: In short, the Goderich administration did not hold together six months ;—it was destroyed by its own contentions, and the noble premier was saved the peril - of conducting his: crazy ark through even a single session of Parliament. The Duke of Wellington came in, and Lord Goderich was shelfed. We hear no more of him from the begin ning of 1828 till the end of 1830, when, having turned his coat with Lord Palmerston, for the seventh or eighth time, he joined the Whigs under Lord Grey, being called to his old post as colonial secretary, to complete the er rors he had commenced in 1827. And, of a verity, his last days have been worse than 'his first ! He has had a most uninterrupted career. Withthat precocious states man, Lord Howick, for his coadjutor, he has done as much mischief as any minister ever did in ancient or modern times. He has brought our colonies to :the brink of de struction. He has made sport,of 'every interest connect ed with the West Indies. No one can truly say that Lord Goderich has not had ample time to develope his pro found measures of policy. 'He has . had the:Most ample range that ever was given to the flight of fancy or ignor ance. He has had two or three rebellions to cope with — he has exasperated every planter against the mother cOun try—he has deteriorated the value of every kind of pro perty in the West Indies full 50 per cent.—he concocted measures which experience hai shown to be impractica ble—he has appointed obnoxious officers whom the insult ed and indignant colonists have expelled from their soil— and he has reduced almost every person dependent upon colonial profits to distraction and despair.. . At, the last, however, he has been removed, and whis tled down the winds. The Premier of 1827—the Chancel lor of the Exchequer in the year of prosperity—the Colo nial Secretary of 1833, after three year's practice, has been found incapable of filling with efficiency any other than a nominal and sinecure office. He- replaces Lord Durham, and, like him, we suppose, will speedily be sent upon his travels, without an outfit, .or a salary, at the cost of the nation. So far well, and the sooner we have the pleasure of taking a final leave of hint the better, even at the expense- of an Earldom. Mr. Stanley succeeds Lord Goderich, and is either commissioned to repair his errors, or bring the force of his superior talents to carry these errors into execution. We know not yet how it is to be, and therefore we keep silence for the present. The heir of the House of Stanley is a young man of splendid abilities. The world is all befure him, and there is fame in the distance, if he knows how to win it, for— There is a tide in the affairs of men Which, taken at the flood, leads on to fortune. &c. &c. &c. &c. &c. &c. &c. Sir John Cam Hobhouse goes to Ireland in 'the room of Mr. Stanley. This is an extraordinary appointment. The popular representative of Westminster carrying into effect the Whig measures of coercion from his high office in the Castle of Dublin, sounds strange in our ears. What will the radicals say, for we believe there is no party now in the metropolis who can be called whigs ? Time will tell. We see that some attempts are making to propose Mr. Sadler for Westminster, and we believe, if they were made in earliest, there is no candidate who would have a better chance of success. Mr. Edward Ellice, it is said, is to be the new Secre tary at War. It is of no consequence who fills this office under the present administration, but, if we had the ap pointment, we certainly should nominate the honourable and pugnacious member for Pontefract--Mr. John Gully. There are some whispers about the retirement of Lord Althorp. This we conjecture Will be accomplished during the recess, for we cannot think that the noble Lord will ever have the temerity to meet Parliament again as Chancellor of the Exchequer, and run the gauntlet of the Commons on the subject of the budget and the taxes. Lord Howick is yet unprovided for. A REFUTATION as complete and conclusive as ever was given to shuffling and trumpery evidence—as over whelming as ever s*ept over beggarly gossip and paltry insinuations—was given on Friday and Saturday last before the Committee on the Liverpool Election. Mr. Nichol began his defence of the calumniated freeman on the former day, and exposed the hollow statements, the disingenious shifts, and the hearsay babble which con-. stituted the sum total of the evidence offered by Messrs. Rathbone, Harvey, Wyberg, and Co., and if the former g-ntleman should ever forget the severe castigation he received upon the occasion he must have nerves which , considering the comparative so ft ness o f mo d e rn steel, i t wouldte well to manufacture into files and chisels for the benefit of the Mechanic's Institution. But we think better of him. He felt the infliction most poignantly ; he was ashamed of his position ; he was ashamed of the witnesses with whom he had come into contact; he was ashamed of the scenes at the GOOSE AND BOAR, and when the name of Mrs. Elizabeth Robinson was mentioned, Mr. William Rathbone was overcome by his modesty and re tired from the Committee to hide his face in a corner, after the example of one of Mr. Thomas Campbell's ma tron-heroines— " And with her handkerchief and both her hands - She hid her face and wept." After Mr. Nichol's opening speech various witnesses of the highest respectability and the most unquestionable veracity were examined for the defence. On Friday they were examined generally as to the conduct pursued by the agents of the candidates and others on the days of the election. Their testimony was of the most explicit nature, and every question was answered unreservedly and in the most satisfactory manner. On Saturday these gentlemen were examined specially with respect to certain alleged acts of bribery in which some of them were implicated. The charges were de nied in the most solemn manner, and under explana tory circumstances which evidently carried conviction to the minds of the Committee. In fact they could not fail to carry conviction, and it was from the force of this, that Mr. Rathbone writhed and wished himself ten thousand leagues frotn the scrutiny. He was so excited by the re futation, Xnd the contemptible light in which his evidence was pla'ed, that he once forgot himself and was called to order and reprimanded by Mr. Bannerman the Chair man. Last night it was expected that the committee would report to the house, in which case the inquiry may be considered as terminated, and if so, we shall probably have an opportunity of saying a parting word in our next, upon the whole of these extraordinary proceedings. But we beg pardon—we are forgeting the fair sex, in the person of Mrs. Elizabeth Robinson Pray, Mr. Rath bone, will you have the politeness to inform us what has become of this gentle witness ? She was, if we recollect right, summoned before the house on a charge of contu macy, and she was told by the Speaker to go back to the committee, and answer, unequivocally, all questions put to her, which, if she should fail to do, she would be sent to gaol. Now, what we want to know is—did Mrs. Ro binson obey the injunctions of the Speaker ? Did she tell the truth at the awful hazard of being murdered ? Or did a respect for her timid nature, and her feminine sensitiveness, induce the gallant Committee to dispense with her important evidence altogether ? But stop a bit—walls have ears, and .the birds of the air carry messages. If this authorithy do not deceive us, we are informed that a certain police officer despatched from Liverpool made a communication to the committee, which had a tendency to depreciate the value of the lady's evidence, even in the estimation of Mr. Wm. Rathbone, and the consequence was, that Mrs. Robinson was dismis sed without the formality of entering into her personal recognizances. What this communication was we shall probably remind the members of the Liverpool clique at no distant clay. We are not the recording angel, and therefore have no tear to blot it out. It must stand for the edification and enlightenment of future historians, and if the gifted Mr. Baines should, with his original and graphic pen, ever attempt a history of Liverpool, we would advise him to devote a chapter to Mr. Wm. Rath bone and Mrs. Elizabeth Robinson. It would be a " tight wittye and mirthfull" chapter, as old Hollinshed would have said, in former times. WE are constantly referred to America as possessing a Government admirable "in concoction and in concep tion r' .We are eternally called upon to assimilate our Gothic to her modern, and, consequently, more perfect laws and institutions; we are everlastingly told of the advantages of the cheap shop, and, therefore, superior manner of doing things in that land where liberty, equa lity, and negro slavery abound. So often have we heard the advantages of America's vote by ballot descanted upon, that, in the simplicity of our hearts, we really be lieved ,that the human race had progressed to a state of perfection unknown to any other region. Simpletons as we are, we thought unregenerate England the only place where corruption luxuriates, and that in America the golden age of republican purity of manners had been restored, unalloyed by any admixture of the baser pas sions. In a• word, that in America every thing is per fect ! Alas, alas ! from this dream we were awakened by the perusal of a file of New York papei-s, from which we sub join an extract : "CITY AFFAlRS.—Comptroller's Report.—With one accord the papers of this city have been for months complaining of the monstrous waste and extravagance of our city authorities, in the expenditures of the public money ; and the report of the city comptroller, which we publish to-day, shows that there is the most ample cause for these complaints. Such a system of pub lic plunder is without a parallel in modern annals. But com plaints upon the subject are now too late. Those who ate the most deeply interested on the subject of taxation, in the rage of party madness, have brought the evil upon themselves. This system of waste and extravagance is but the natural conse quence of universal suffrage in large cities. Who elect our officers ? Go to the polls, and look at the majority of the voters ? And how comes it that we have such swarms of voters at the polls, 61 huzzaing for the powers that be, and driving away our most respectable citizens in disgust ? How comes it, that in New York there are annually five or six thousand MORE votes polled„ than there arc legal voters in the city? - Look at the comptroller's report, and you will there find the small item of 70,000 dollars, in a single year, thrown away upon paupers ; which paupers, at the elections, swarm forth in countless array, to vote for those who feed them with money not their own! Here lies the secret. Cause and effect are not more certain, than such results as we witness at our elections are sure to fol low such expenditures of the public money." Oh ! wonder of wonders! can this be a reality, or do we now dream ? If our New York contemporary be right, all the wisdom that our modern patriots have gained from the republican schools of England is sheer folly, and they must go to school again. IT is the fashion of the present day, for' terested purposes, no doubt, to deny th e church endowments, and to affirm that an man would be sure to be provided for. perhaps, may have heard of Oberlin, the tor of Ban de la Roche, whose name is that of a meritorious pastor : let them following account of him from Gilly's Neff. At the French revolution Oberlin was scanty income. At first his flock came' nerous alacrity, and declared that their im none the worse, and that they would real or £56 a-year for him at least. The first scribed 1133 francs ; the 2nd they st £l6. The pastor saw how things were requested them to make no more " They knew the way to his house," he bring him what they would." In 1794, were, his own resources, and the parisl. had so far failed him, that he was obliged twelve pupils for his subsistence. So mu' contributions ! Omniscient editors of that the dissenting ministers are well paid , the dissenting ministers say themselves, are critical," says the Eclectic Review, " concealed that the voluntary funds for dissenting ministers have been seriously the impoverishment of the people; and tl pious and deserving ministers are the hardships of extreme poverty."—Feb., Why, then, we ask, is this property thus the highest and holiest purposes, this to , sion for universal good, this charitable e! so far from being, as it is falsely called, a the people, is a deposit held in trust for tbe r is this to be confiscated at the bidding of a Unitarian politicians and revolutionary apply to Dr. Arnold again for an answer " The appropriation of a property to secure W invaluable a blessing as a christian ministry part of the country, will naturally be objected to the very names of God and goodness . . . but a just tribute to the excellence of the that it should be hated by the systematic wick, party and by the brute ignorance and 'coarseness the democracy." . Again,— "It is quite idle to think that the destroyers really care about pluralities ; and non-resides' quality of church benefices: still less about liturgy or defective discipline. The real questi t one of money—they want a cheap religion-0 d stress upon the epithet in propo r ti on t o their ' value of the article for which they are bargai gian they know and care little; about money they much." A pleasing prospect this for the minister s blishment when they shall have been red torial labours of the liberal British press to contributions of their congregations. We bear no ill will to conscientious otherwise ; we do not, as churchmen, wish of a single shilling ; but it is really p a st a, The justice of relieving dissenters by taking lic corporation of the church a property fc ! to it ages before such a thing as a P r otef existed in the world. " Church property," says Dr. Arnold tithes and church lands, is so much say scramble of individual selfi s h ness , an d s eta lic purposes. The sight of a church tower ance that everything has not been bought 111 convenience, and that there is some provisi ol fare of the poorest and most destitute W illi within the hearing of its bells." This is the true solution. I n fid e l s bate .he cause it is the instrument of religion. Be it, because it is one of th e bulwarks of and the infatuated multitud e are p ers uade' A, because they expect, as they expected fro f bill, that when it is destroyed " seven In will be sold for a penny, the three-hooped - ten hoops, and it will be made felony t ° beer." As for a cheap church, however, we sho ul ask how it is possible to have a cheaper eh' which is supported by a property which be , a title anterior to that of any estate in the i e . which, taken from none, i s h e ld f or t h e coel' all ? i ikoz,,, J 4 t o n, °w4 1 .
