lac Iliberpool iu:-:tant=arb. FRIDAY .MORNING, MARCH 8, 1833. The• French papers have for some time been indulging themselves in certain distressing speculations relative to that most unfortunate Princess the Duchesse de Berri. This lady, now a prisoner in the Castle of Blaye, is stated to be enceinte, and a document has been publish ed in the Moniteur, purporting to be in her own hand writing, announcing that _Shn was last year privately married whilst sojourning in Italy. This doCument, be it genuine or otherwise, has given rise to a thousand calumnies of the most indelicate kind, which are rendered far more repulsive by the factious spirit in which they are written-, and.the insulting tone which - they breathe towards an unprotected woman. The wretched scurrility of the French journals has found its way to England, and been translated into modern Bil ling,sgate by the London Times. That journal, which boasted of thd " unsunned innocAnce" of Caroline of England, gloats with fiendish delight over the supposed frailties of Maria Caroline of France, the widow of a murdered Prince, and the mother of Henry V. Such is the wretched and vulgar malignity of modern Liberals The most remarkable part of the story consists in this, that the Duellesse being a close prieoner in the castle of Blaye, to • whom none of her confidential friends are allowed to have access, strong suspicions are Thrown upon the genuineile§s of tile dt;cument, and the authen ticity of the statement. It is certain that her principal attendants are unconscious of the - existence of the docu ment, unless they have recently been informed of its insertion in the Moniteur. Her friends assert that it is either a fabrication, or has been extorted through fear, in a moment of ter rcr, and for state purposes. It is also firmly denied that the Princess is enceinte. It is a curious case altogether, and one which, to say the least of it, is involved in much mystery. Louis Philip, it is well known, occupies a disputed throne. The revolution has done nothing to render either him or it popular. it has disappointed the hopes of the repub licans—it has alienated the affections and exasperated the passions of the Royalists—and it has left the citizen king Ni - ithout a party. The character of the man is a sufficient warrant for suspecting him of any project by which he can strengthen his dynasty and secure the crown to his posterity. A defenceless prisoner is an easy victim. Calumny may inflict deeper wounds than the axe or the sword; and when the truth transpires, as sooner or later it must do, we shall not be surprised if this unhappy lady has, imperfect innocence, been doomed to obloquy, and made the martyr of state policy. WHAT a load has been removed from the breast of Lord Atthorp! After five nights' debate.the Irish suppression bill has been read afirst time in the House of Commons. It was oppoSed by eighty-nine honourable gentlemen, most of whom were Irishmen, out of a house consisting of 555 members. When so small a fraction of the repre sentatives of the nation can thus impede public business, in the teeth of such a majority, and without the slightest chance of accomplishing their object, we cannot see how the real interests of the country can be attended to, and the other important commercial and financial questions which are to come before Parliament can be satisfactorily or dispassionately discussed. The amendment moved by Mr. Tennyson was, that the first reading of the bill be postponed for a fortnight. The opposition knew that this proposition would be resisted; but they took care to extort ten shillings in the pound as a composition. They debated the motion during a period.which comprehended seven days, exactly the half of the time they required to reflect upon its provisions. This long debate will . be a memorable one in our par liamentary history, chiefly from its lack • of attractions. It will be remembered for its sterility and dullness—its bold averments, without proof—its contradictory state ments—and its details of blood and crime, assumed to be notorious, 'but nevertheleis unsubstantiated by evidence. Its tedium was only relieved by two able and eloquent speeches, one front Mr. Secretary Stanley, and the other (and by far the best) from Sir Robert Peel, who has con ferred -a lasting obligation on his Majesty's Ministers- The speeches of the Irish members were, almost without a single exception, lamentable failures. What turgid stuff, or empty bombast, or illogical barbarisms, form the materials of the harangues of Dr. Baldwin, Mr. Finn, Mr. Shed, Mr. Barron, and some half dozen other per sons whose names are unknown to the people of England 1 What a contrast do these speeches form to the splendid displays of Burke, 'Grattan, and Sheridan, in former times, when Irish gentlemen, and none but Irish gentle men, were the representatives of that country Even O'Connell himself (by far the cleverest man among them) disappointed public expectation. He tottered under the oppressive weight of his. subject. His answer was simply a denial of the allegations ; and this was per haps his strongest position ; for ft is easy to meet asser tion with denial in the absence of • all proof upon either side. Mr. O'Connell contended that the disturbances of Ireland could be suppressed by the :ekisting law, if the Government were disposed to do their - . ..duty. What a satire upon the conduct of his Majesty's ministers ! This taunt they receive front a man who has trampled upon the laws and defied the executie'Governnient for the last two years 1 He is him Self a lawyer of great experi ence, and we presume a pretty good judge of those powers which he held in abeyance, and whose force he Could estimate, if wielded by resolute amid able men. He knew where he was most vulnerable, and could be suc cessfully assailed ; and yet he unblushingly tells the ministers that if they had had the:courage to carry tile Jaw, into effect they might have .suppressed, agitation Ung ago, and sent him, the great-agitator, to prison, t o the hulks, or to Botany Bay The bitter. sarcasm o f this reproach must have been keenly felt by the law officers of the crown. And O'Connell, in our opinion, spoke the truth. He xvas as sincere as if he had been making what is called a than breast before his father confetiSOr: We never had doubt but that all his machinatiions during the last two THE LIVERPOOL STANDARD. years could have been put down by the ordinary process of law. An extinguisher might have been put upon in subordination and incipient rebellion without extinguish ing the liberties of Ireland. The demagogue could have been caught in his toils, and severely punished, without invading the privacy of the peasants' cabin, and placing the life,Jiberty, and property of every man and woman at themercy of a single individual and his military courts consisting of three subaltern officers. All this must be the subject of deep regret; but as the government have taken upon themselves the responsi bility, we abide the result s although we cannot look for ward to the operation of the bill without serious appre hensions. These are much increased by reflecting, that the Marquess of Anglesey is the Lord Governor of Ire land. In him we have no confidence. His whole politi cal life has been a series of inconsistencies and contra dictions, in which we see -nothing but furious zeal one day, and inexplicable apathy on another. He is the sol dier on Monday and the quaker on Saturday. He draws his sword against the Catholics on Tuesday, and he tells them to " agitate" on Friday. He is all for peace on Wednesday, and all for war on Thursday morning. On such a general, or judge, or .umpire, or whatever be his character, it is impossible, to place reliance, and we strongly suspect that this will be the universal opinion before the lapse of many months: He knows nothing of the happy medium between temperance and excess-he either does not go far enough, or he goes too far. Were Lord Anglesey recalled, and the powers conferred by this bill invested in a commission composed of three or more noblemen :or gentle Men of distinguished abilities and moderate politics, we should have -nothing to fear; but these powers are not in safe hands, while. they are con ferred upon the present Lord Lieutenant of Ireland. RUMOURS of certain disagreements in the Cabinet still prevail, and as Lord Althorp has denied that these have had .their . origin in the suppression Bill, we are inclined to place more confidence in the statement which we were enabled to put forth in the last number of the STANDARD. The opinion is besides gaining ground, that certain financial changes are unavoidable. That something must be done to relieve the country, and give an impetus to trade arid manufactures, is incontrovertible. This relief can only be produced by reducing the taxes upon industry, and those which press most severely upon the middle classes ; or it may be effected by increasing the amount of the circulating medium, thereby extending the credit of the country, and raising the rates of wages and profits. Increased profits increase the de mand for labour, and an extra demand for labour does two things, firs,`, it raises wages, and second it reduces the poor rates. But we shall have abundance of time for discussing this subject hereafter. LIVERPOOL MERCURY.—We have hitherto forborne to animadvert upon matter which has occasionally appeared in the columns of our contemporary; because differing as we do Coto ccelo from the politics of the Mercury, we have still always regarded that journal as being conducted with honesty of purpose, and sometimes with no incon siderable degree of ability; ; —in short, we have looked upon the Editor as a fair and honourable antagonist. It is not reasonable, we admit, to hold responsible the con ductor of a newspaper for statements and articles which are avowedly supplied by correspondents ; yet it is un doubtedly his duty to guard his columns against being made the medium of gross and offensive personalities, and from being subservient to the base malignity of anonymous and unprincipled slanderers. A letter ap pears in the last Mercury signed " Reformer." and who ever may be the writer he is wise in shielding himself from the deserVed execration in which that man would be held who wantonly insults the first merchant in our Town —a gentleman who has devoted a long and arduous life to the best interests of his country, and who is now in the decline of years, cheered by the universal love and esteem of every respectable man in this community. It is a pity that the author of such baseness is not held up to public exposure and contempt. For our own part, and as connected with the press of this Town, we feel humili ated that any journal pretending to character and respec tability, should have given place to such a communica tion; and we would willingly persuade ourselves that its insertion in the Mercury has been an editorial inad , vertance. " The other objects of " Reformer's" calumny are gentle men known to be of the highest respectability as magis trates and individuals, and so far his venom is innocuous. It might have been expected that the universaltestimony which the Town of Liverpool bears to the conduct "of our present excellent Chief Magistrate—his impartial and exemplary discharge of official duties, would have pro tected him from attack. But it seems that neither 'pri vate virtue, nor eminent public merit, is a protection from the dark and cowardly assassin whose letter dis graces the columns of our contemporary. VERACITY OF THE LIVERPOOL TIMEs.—In our pub lication of Friday last, we noticed a petition which had been presented to the House of Commons, relative to the Liverpool Corporation, and we took the liberty of ask - ing, how many signatures were attached to the petition ? We did not, when we asked the question, believe there were more than twenty or thirty. The Liverpool Times, however, says : " The petition which Mr. Ewart presented in the House of Commons on Wednesday,. from this town, was that agreed to at a meeting of the merchants, brokers, and other dock rate payers held in the Cotton Sale-room in November last. It is thus entered in the votes of the House Liverpool Docks— Petition of Merchants, Shipowners, and others, rate-payers to the Liverpool Docks, praying for an amendment in the consti tution of the Liverpool Dock Trust now vested in the • Common Council of the Corporation of Liverpool, and fOr redress of al ieged grievances; referred to the Select Committee on Munici-• Corporations.'—The petition, of which some persons seem larnentaUy ignorant, was signed by about:MO of the most respectable merenants and brokers in Liverpool." We now positively assert, in contradiction to this un founded statement, that there were not THIRTY signatures of any kind to the petition ! No—not thirty! and yet the Editor of the Times has the hardihood to state that there were twelve hundred ! "Lamentably ignorant," in deed who is it that is "lamentably ignorant'?" Not the Editor of the Times —no, no I—there was no lament able ignorance in his statement. We wish we could persuade ourselves that there was. CORPORATIONS. It may not be inopportune at the present moment, when all the Corporate bodies in the country are threatened with anni hilation, to call the attention of our readers to their origin, and to the mighty changes that have been effected by them since their introduction into England. Blackstone says that " the honour of originally inventing these political constitu tions entirely belongs to the Romans. They were introduced," (as Plutarch says,) by Numa ; who finding, upon his accession, the city torn to pieces by the two rival factions of Sabines and Romans, thought it a prudent and politic measure to subdivide these two into many smaller ones, by instituting separate societies of every manual trade and profession." Tliat they were, resorted to by some of our early monarchs to curb the violence of the barons, who scarce owned a nominal subjection to the crown ; that they at different periods became a city of refuge, sheltering alike the monarch and the people, is a fact well known to every reader of English history. This expedi ent having answered the end proposed, these unions of the many, to accomplish that which was too mighty for indivi dual enterprise were applied to other purposes, namely the introduction of manufactures, and were mainly instrumental in fostering the sciences and arts of civilized life, as well as for the promotion of learning and religion ; and we presume that few persons are prepared to deny that " the Apothecaries' Company," " the Royal Colleges of Surgeons and Physicians" are not, even in these days, of some use. When our infant manufactures had grown up to something like manhood, to find a market for them, trading companies were incorporated, and hence the origin of " the Bank of England," "the East India Company," and others ; that these have been successful experiments, that they have effected more than was hoped for by their founders, can not admit of a doubt. As the wealth of the country increased, corporations were formed for insuring against the casualties of life, and the destruction of property by fire or on the seas; for constructing harbours, docks, bridges, and rail roads;, for eleemosynary purposes, and for supplying the domestic con veniences of light and water. Thus then, the assertion is not a bold one, that England would never have been so pre-emin ent in arts or in arms,—would never have become the emporiuin of the world, but for the spur which these bodies have given to individual exertion by showing what was possible to be done; and that they were the primary cause, which has enlarged vil lages into towns containing populations of hundreds instead of units, and turned sterile wastes and impassable bogs into fruit ful cornfields and pleasent pastures. The inducements to join in these associations were the hope of profit, and the certainty of possession which the perpetuity of existence given to them insured. In illustration of our argument, were we addressing the peo ple of England generally, we would say, ere you destroy those bodies, look at Liverpool! See the wonderful change that has been produced iu that place in the short space of thirty years— a change so great, that a native, after an absence of twenty years, would scarce recognise a single feature of the town. In address ing ourselves to its inhabitants, we ask who is the individual Magician, that has built your markets, widened your streets, and taken the lead in forwarding those other works that have made your Town almost the commercial Capital of the world. By some it may be answered that all Corporations were created as a means to gain an end; that they should cease when the end has been gained; that the scaffolding is useless when the Tower is built; that its municipal powers have or may be abused, and that some of our Freemen have been corrupted. To these we answer, are all the ends gained that public bodies only can effect? Is there no law extant to punish corruption? and would it not, be wiser to convict and punish the guilty than to declaim against the innocent? Naturalists tell us that there are some animals who never be come ferocious until they have tasted blood. Any interference with the rights of property, is of all others the most fearful. Destroy . municipal bodies, and you open the door to a like destruction of every other ; we would remind those who are following these attacks how much easier it is to declaim than to reason—and should there be among their leaders any holders of bank stock, India bonds canal, or rail-road shares, we ask them whether Pliillippe Egalite , when Ehe headed the French revolution, expected to die by: the guillotine ? To the people generally we would say, "If you destroy corporate property, none other will be secure, and that the whole nation is a cor poration aggregate, crowned by a corporation sole. SELECT VESTRY ACT, As the attention of our readers will, no doubt, be attracted to the advertisement...of a requisition received by the churchwar dens, calling upon the rate-payers to give their votes for or against the adoption of Sir John Cam Ilobhouse's Vestry Act, we have deemed it our duty to lay before them, in another co lumn, an abstract of its principal provisions. We understand that this act arose out of the contests in seve ral of the metropolitan parishes, between the rate-payers ands 'the vestrymen, the latter holding their office for life, and being elected by the members of the vestry without any reference to the rate-payers. Among the number the parish of Saint Mary le-bone as it stood highest in reference to wealth and popula tion, so it was equally distinguished for an expenditure so ex traordinary, and contrary to judicious parochial economy, as to excite tne attention even of the most respectable of the pa rishioners. The vestries complained of consisted of noblemen, members of parliament, magistrates, and gentlemen unused and indisposed to the details of business, and as the parochial accounts when passed by the vestry could not be appealed against it is not, surprising that the parishioners sought an amendment, by which the expenditure might be brought,, in sonic degree, under their control. The contests which continued through several years had the effect, for a time, of confounding these vestries, with the select vestries annually elected by the - rate-payers under Mr. Sturges Bourne's Act, by which the affairs of this parish in 1821 were redeemed from their encumbrances, and placed upon a footing, which, up to the present time, has been satisfactory to the respectable rate-payers. We are, therefore, at a loss to know what improvement can be contemplated by the proposed adop tion of Mr. Hobhouse's Act in this parish. So far, the present system has been proved to work well in its general and particu lar management: That individuals, appointed on the select vestry, have sought only the advantage of a particular body or class to which they belong, and not the interest of the rate payers at large, by "no means derogates from the general utility of the vestry sysfem, it only shows the necessity of caution and watchfulness on the part of the parishioners as to the appoint ment which might induce the respectable parishioners themselves to volunteer their services on the vestry. This is the only effectual mode of preventing the possibility of abuse in the Select Vestry under Mr. Sturges Bourne's Act. The principal alterations which will be effected by this 'Act, if adopted, are, that the members of the vestry will be elected by ballot, each rate-payer having one vote and no more • that a householder of £lO per annum may be elected; and that the vestry must consist of one hundred and twenty members. We are fully aware of the difficulty of obtaining the consent of men, respectable in character and property, (and of such the select vestry of Liverpool ought to be compossd,) sufficient to fill up the vacancies that annually occur out of the number (twenty) required under the present system; and we, therefore, hold it utterly impossible to obtain one hundred and twenty such per sons as the rate-payers would approve. ,And taking it even in the popular point of view, as it would be radically termed, it is to be observed, that supposing 120 membei.s be elected, they are to reniai4 three 'years in office, however ineligible, inattentive, inefficient, or objectionable they may be ; whereas, at present, the whole, or any part, may be annually changed, and vacancies be filled up within six months: We will not, on this occasion, stop to inquire into the mo tives, or display the qualifications of thiise who, have signed the requisition, it being under Mr. Hobhouse's 'act, competent to any fifty ratepayers to make it, we may, however, be allowed to doubt the policy of agitating the question in this parish under the circumstances referred to ' • at the same time it is satisfac tory to Observe, that it cannot be again agitated within three years, if the ratepayers decide against its adoption. . We now fulfil our promise of laying before the freemen a list of the leading names which were attached to the disfranchise ment petition. Of the respectability of the petitioners we leave our readers toform their own opinions. W. RATHBONE, Chairman of Mr. TitortNEkx's Committee. Thomas Coglan. John Coglan. Hugh Horn by.

Wednesday Evening, Half:past Sevt We have had, within the last day or two, variou existing differences in the Administration, and we ' to believe these are well founded. Considerable opinion, even upon the coercion measure now passe parliament, is said to have been displayed in the 0 also upon the West India question. Some idea of Lion of Earl Grey is understood to have been more entertained, and of the calling of the Duke of power ; but this latter, according to rumour, has doned. This fact we a re assure d of, that the Admi, far from united, and that it cannot long, in its pre remain in power. With regard to the West Indi nothing of any great moment has transpired. The of the West Indian body have sent in, to Lord God, reply to certain measures propounded to them di recent interview with his Lordship. Up to the pres( we believe that no actual plan, with regard to Sla. pation, has been formed, and that at the recent intern" the deputation, Lord Goderich entered into no detail pressed himself anxious before he made public any we' learn the opinions of the leaders of the West India l u' upon certain portions of what might form such measure. we believe, has been given in the document sent a day c p ° 3 l back to his Lordship from the deputation. V e ry g t „ crecy has been observed in the business, whi c h h as oir' for a variety of reports respecting the alleged scueo, e at , may here add a statement current in cert a i n circ l es , reft4 theimagined project of Government; according to abolition of slavery is to take place immediately in tf p d nies.

The manumitted slaves to be compelled by the et trates to work five days out of the seven previous to th e . 0 1 and six days in crop. That two days' amount of wag,e,',6 be deducted and paid into the compensation fund, it bel sidered that the remaining four or three days, as the cf a clO' be, will be sufficient for the support of, the negro.
