TUESDAY MORNING, SEPTEMBER 3, 1939 Cordially as every Conservative - in Britain must echo :he concluding paragraph of the Queen's Speech, it _ _ - - - affords, nevertheless, very pregnant grounds for deep and mixed reflection. If the agitation, against which the powers of the Law and the slumbering energies of the Queen's Attorney-General have been at last exert- ed, had been confined to a few rural districts—if an obscure and skulking gang of midnight ruffians had been brought to the bar of public justice, and Swing and Captain Ludd had been effectually suppressed in a few weeks by the very name and terror of a Special Commission—we should echo the language of Minis. terg, and be thankful that so unfortunate a source a crime and annoyance had been got under. But how stands the case at present ? Are the ene mies of public peace and public order now mere skulk ing, midnight vagabonds ?—are the Swings, and Rocks, and Ludds—creatures who dare not even answer to their own names or show their own ruffianly counte nances before the face of day=are they confined to some remote and rural districts, without concert and organization i—or are they bold, bad men, who pro claim their wickedness openly and make their boast of it ?—who have earned for themselves their own unen viable notoriety by the shamelessness with which they glory in the language of treason and sedition—aye, of murder and rapine ? Instead of being seized behind a hedge with blackened faces, are they to be seen, in many instances, on the seat of civic power—mayors, and councilnien, and justices of peace ? Have they a confederacy wide and deeply-rooted in the most popu lous districts of the Empire, and prepared to go through with their nefarious designs, no matter at what cost of tranquillity and public happiness ? If this view be unhappily the true one, it follows, of course, that the means of escape from these perplexi ties are not so plain and obvious and easily at hand. - The Liberals have long been accustomed to boast that their glorious Reform Bill was a bloodless Revo!ution. It was so, or nearly so ; but whither has it led us at last ? To the obvious necessity of retracing nearly every step that has since been made in the downward progress of Mis-government. To adopt their own cant phrase, we must, perforce, go through all the stages of a Counter-Revolution. We have gone through many of the steps of a bloodless Counter-Revolution. From 1834 (not to say an earlier period) the tide of Liberalism has been ebbing fast. If it were not so—if Conservative principles •had not been gaining ground most rapidly in England,—yes, if Conservative prin ciples were not now dominant in the hearts of Eng lishmen,—we beg leave to assure the Liberal advisers of her Majesty that " her secure reliance upon the good sense of her people, and upon their attachment to the Constitution, for the maintenance of law and order," would be a very idle subterfuge, and a sorry mockery of men's sober reason. But happily the , good old sound opinions are pre dominant, and, under Providence, they will save the country yet. Ten years have the Whigs been upon their trial before the people of England. They have been winnowed and sifted. Their plausible pretences, their hollow promises, their specious purity, are no longer current. Whiggery is nailed to the counter, like a pewter shilling. Whether the paltry placelings will allow the present Parliament to reassemble we cannot tell—(our readers are aware that the Ministerial rumour being on one side has been a reason with us for espousing the opposite opinion) ; but this we know — with the present House of Commons, or with any other they can ever hope to summon, their game is up. Let only each Conservative Elector be active and alert, and remember (when the auspicious moment shall ar rive) that never more solemnly than now did "Eng land expect every man to do his duty." There are some individuals in the world who have i the ill-luck to give satisfaction to nobody. " Oh! Mr. Joseph (Surface, not Hume, in the School for Scandal, not the School for Skimping) is an excellent gentleman: everybody speaks well of hint." " Then" (is the shrewd rejoinder of my uncle) " what a con founded rascal he must be !" Inverting Sheridan's rule, we should necessarily arrive at the conclusion that Mr. Poulett. Thomson was one of the most meri torious personages in the world. "Oh ! Mr. Poulett" (the dialogue would run) " is an odious fellow : no body speaks well of him." "Then" (rejoins the saga cious Premier) " what a straightforward, uncompro mising statesman he must be !" What the Electors of Manchester may think, we do not presume to' know; but we should suppose several of them have very good reasons for agreeing with the Minister, and doubtless think that, since he has ma naged their own little affairs for them with such re markable dexterity, he is by far the fittest person in the universe to reconcile the very difficult and per plexing embarrassments of Canada. Short-sighted persons in the provinces, like ourselves, cannot rea sonably be expected to know much about the great Gods of War and Peace whd figure in the metropolitan Olympus ; but we should certainly have conceived that the bare notion of sending out the Member for Man chester to Canada was merely designed as an ill natured sarcasm upon the very sensitive ex-Dictator. We remember, when Earl Grey's Government affected to resign, Mr. Whittle Harvey likened the occurrence to a turn-out then subsisting among the Journeymen Tailors, and said a similar remedy might be resorted to in either emergency, viz., " a large number of old women might be found to do the work as well." So we suppose some wag, in ridicule of Lord Durham, said, " You, like the Journeymen Tailors, have turned out : no matter, Mr. Thomson will do the work as well." And, in plain earnest, it is not possible he should do it worse. The announcement of Sir George Murray's name will give great satisfaction both to the Conservatives of Manchester and the English public in general. Sir George is a sound Conservative, of thoroughly liberal and constitutional opinions. He is precisely of that class of opinions into which the reflecting and influen tial portion of he British community has subsided. Neither an Exclusive nos a Destructive, he will con ced ,e all rights fairly claimed, and remedy all abuses clearly proved. But he will not give way to mere senseless clamour, or vote for some tyrannical and obnoxious measure, simply because it is patronised by knaves and dupes who call themselves Reformers. This Election, however, will take place under the old Registration. While, therefore, we do not choose to be too sanguine as to the result of the first contest, (for the necessary attention has not been paid to Re gistration matters by our Conservative friends in Man chester until the present, or at furthest the preceding, year,) we regard the present struggle with the liveliest interest, and we doubt not that when the Ministers shall be forced to appeal to tke British people, Man chester will have two Conservative Candidates in the field, ready to fight manfully the battles of their church and country. The humbug of the Precursor Association has been broken up to make room for the still greater humbug of a " Repeal" Association. A greater nuisance is thus to be established on the ruins of a smaller. This formidable announcement was made by the arch-agi tator on Wednesday last, in a speech delivered at the Corn Exchange, Dublin—a speech characterised by a larger quantum than usual of "enormous lying," bare faced impudence, reckless and virulent abuse, and im potent threats of retaliation on the Protestants of Ire land. In all these particulars O'Connell has " out- Heroded Herod himself," and, to use his own pecu- " banged liarly elegant and felicitous phraseology, Banagher hollow." We confess that, as far as O'Connell himself is concerned, we should feel no disposition to notice the proceedings of the traitors of the Corn Exchange. The foul-mouthed slanderer of Englishwomen—the prince of liars—the worthy scion of a reckless smug gler and wrecker—the insolent mendicant, who had the audacity to denounce the House of Commons as " an assembly of six hundred scoundrels," is, of all men, the least entitled to any notice in our columns. But in his relative position this mendacious and de graded individual, who gloats over and fattens upon the poverty and misery of his fellow-countrymen, is a man of some note and consequence. O'Connell, with all the deformities of his moral constitution, is Lord Melbourne's master ! He sways the proceedings and directs the movements of the British Cabinet, with the relentless tyranny of a true deMagogue—the greatest of tyrants of which history is cognizant. In this ca pacity—as the irresponsible and undisputed arbiter of the destinies of this great empire—O'Connell claims our attention. The speech which the bog-bred Yahoo delivered on Wednesday last embraces such a variety of topics, and is so discursively mendacious, that we are almost at a loss where to begin with our animadversions. The opening topic is the policy of Lord Normanby, upon which the most extravagant laudations are bestowed. This topic is introduced with a flourish about the ancient enemies of Ireland," by which expression O'Connell wishes to designate the loyal, true-hearted, devoted, and peaceable Protestants of that country, The "ancient enemies of Ireland," indeed !—we should like to know who are the real enemies of Ireland. Are ;hey not those who have systematically stirred up the people to rebellion—who have contributed to sink the poor deluded peasantry into the very depths of misery and poverty—who have enriched themselves by making a trade of the very distresses of their fellow-country men—who have organised the infamous Ribbonite conspiracy—who have rendered it next to impossible for the peaceable and well-disposed to live in many districts of the country—who have impeded the . _ prosperity of Ireland by preventing the introduction of English capital to give employment to its starving population—who having in short, rendered Ire- [and one vast Pandemonium, in which the ele. ments of discord are incessantly at work ? These, we should conceive, are the real enemies of Ire land. And who are they ? Where are they to be found ? Among the loyal and industrious Protestants ? Let the North of Ireland, where Protestants are most numerous, afford the reply. The " ancient enemies of Ireland" are to be found among the Popish priests and the Popish agitators. O'Connell himself is the arch-enemy of his country. He has done more towards its degradation in the scale of nations than any other man of this or any other generation. It will take many ages before the mischief he has done can be repaired. Yet this is the man who has the hardihood to denounce the Protestants of Ireland as its " ancient enemies !" Enemies they are, truly—not of Ireland, but of the galling tyranny of Popery, and of swindling traders in patriotism. O'Connell's adulation is not, however, altogether and exclusively lavished upon Lord Normanby. Lord Melbourne comes in for his share. The Premier is congratulated as doing well "to make no distinction of creed in selecting men to fill the high offices of the State." Indeed ! Is it truly a merit in the Premier of England that he is totally indifferent to the religious or anti-religious opinions of his associates in the Go vernment ? Is it a merit in the Prime Minister of a Protestant country that he is equally ready to promote a Christian or an Infidel to offices of trust in the State ? Would the appointment of Robert Owen, for instance, to a seat in the Cabinet be as creditable to Lord Mel bourne as the selection of a consistent believer in the truths of Revelation ? O'Connell exclaims with fervour that " the Catho lics of the empire are now beginning to feel that they are really emancipated." Why ? Because the starving millions of Ireland have been benefitted by the opera tion of the Emancipation Act ? No such thing. The " Catholics of the empire are really emancipated" because some dozen of the leading agitators " have been selected to fill the high offices of the State." This is true emancipation—to have a share in the loaves and fishes ! Perish the millions, so long as " that sterling patriot and distinguished individual, Mr. Wyse," is " promoted to the high office of Lord of the Treasury." Let the peasantry of Ireland re main for ever' in rags, so long as Ithat excellent gen tleman," Mr. More O'Ferrall, is raised to a high posi tion—so long as Richard Sheil can secure his pay for blundering at the Board of Trade—so long as Mr. Stephen Woulfe, Mr. Ball, Sir Michael O'Loghlen, Baron Richards, and Judge Perrin, can severally revel in affluence. What care O'Connell and his crew for any other fruits of emancipation than the acquisition Of office, with its concomitants, wealth and power ? O'Connell " has done well" in enumerating the Papists who have been " selected to fill high offices in the state." We thank him for parading the list before the Protestant public. Its exhibition will do good we hope. We trust that the alarm of the Protestants of Great Britain will be roused when they learn, on the authority of O'Connell himself, how many Papists there are now occupying offices of trust in the govern ment. We hope the publicity thus given to this melancholy fact will stimulate Protestant zeal. Popery is gradually but securely creeping into high places. The predicted results of the Emancipation Act are being silently realised. Of these results the Papists boast. How is this progress of Popery to be arrested ? Our Protestant friends may rest assured that the only means to check the ascendancy of Popery is, to drive from office the subservient tools of O'Connell and the priests. We shall have something more to say about O'Con• nell and his doings in Dublin in our next. MR. MARTIN'S CORONATION PICTURE.—Mr. Martin ' s original picture of the Coronation, which we have heard highly eulogised, will be open to the public at the Lyceum on Friday next, the 6th of September. DANDY'S OPENING OF THE SIXTH SEAK. — We are happy to learn that Danby's picture of the Opening of the Sixth Seal is to remain in this town for a short time longer, and that the proprietor, for the gratification and by the desire of those that have kindly favoured him with their visits, has removed the picture to No. 25, Bold-street, for the purpose of obtaining the advantage of a sky-light, which especially harmonizes with the colours introduced in the painting. As a work of art it stands alone, being the first-class picture of the modern school. We would recommend a careful inspec tion of this picture to our native artists, that they may see that correctness of nature displayed,. by the painter, in the masses of descending rocks, volcanic fire, twilight, tints, effulgence of lightning, and pure ethereal sky, which are so admirably developed throughout the whole. To all our readers we would say, have you seen it ? If not, lose no time in doing so, as it will soon be too late ; it being about shortly to leave Liverpool. In Paris, a " Jockey Club " has been started by the fashionable young men. It has long been la mode with some of them to keep an English groom and call him " John." SOME ERRORS AND EVILS WHICH DO AND MUST RESULT FROM THE VOLUNTARY SYS TEM. TO THE EDITOR OF THE LIVERPOOL STANDARD. SlR,—Voluntaries allege that the Gospel retains in itself a power of procuring its support, and they allege that it is a want of faith in their opponents, in the power of Gospel truth, which causes them to apply to the world for any sup port to Gospel ministers ; here it might be remarked that the mind of voluntaries on the subject is perfectly contrary to the mind of God, for when God established a Church he ap pointed the civil rulers to provide for its temporal wants. Is it not a most extraordinary thing that voluntaries cannot be brought to see the great difference between the Gospel it self and the means of supporting its teachers? No doubt the Gospel is all powerful to accomplish the ends for which it is appointed, viz., the conversion of sinners, &c. ; but God has appointed, and has made it the duty of all, to give tem poral support to his servants who preach the Gospel. It is true that God could in some miraculous way provide for the support of his ministers ; but if he has made it the duty of all to give the needful support, and that God's law, in this, is not attended to, there is surely no reason.to expect that a miracle should be wrought to please men's fancies. Let us suppose a Gospel minister going to preach amongst a peo ple who hate (as all sinners do) the Gospel; how is he to be supported? On voluntary principles, it would be criminal in him to receive the smallest matter of support from such people, for it would be causing the people to commit a crime —of course a crime in the receiver. How different the prin ciple which Jesus taught his disciples when he sent them to preach ; his instructions were, to take nothing for their sup port, but from all in all places, tq take as their just due whatever might be offered them, for the workman was wor thy of his hire. But let us suppose the voluntary system acted on in these kingdoms—of course all support of every kind taken from ministers—what must inevitably be the si tuation of these countries? I may mention Ireland, the cir cumstances of which (relative to religion) I well know. In that country, not less than five hundred Gospel ministers, now labouring zealously, and forward in every good work, must be laid aside—they could not live on the air, and in the province of their labours (where so few ChristiaLs reside), they could not be supported • and there is no doubt but in this kingdom and Scotl an d the like results would follow. But voluntaries refer to the United States of North Ame rica, where the voluntary system is in full operation, and they say it is working well ; w hen they say so, how little they seem to knoveof the state of that country. The follow ing statement comes from authority, and it shews that, so far is the system from working well, if long persevered in, it must banish the Gospel from a great part of the States : " The Episcopalians have one-third of their churches unsup plied with ministers, the Lutherans five-sixths, the Uni versalists one-half, the Christian Society three-fourths, the Presbyterians, one-fifth, the Congregationalists, one-third, the Free-will Baptists, one-fourth, the Associate Presbyter ians, one-half, the Dutch Reformed, two-thirds, the Cum berland Presbyterians, one-third, the Seventh Day Baptists, one-fourth ; and a minister of the States writes from New York " that not one in twenty of the pastors could support themselves on their stipends." But without any such state ment, it must be evident to every person who thinks at all on the subject, that all the backward and thinly inhabited parts must be without gospel ministers, and this is confirmed by every one who has travelled there, and also by all the settlers in these districts. Voluntaries allege that unbelievers are not under the obligation of obeying the precepts and or dinances given to the church. In this is involved a most gross error ; it is this—that a person not having done his duty in performing one act of obedience, exonerates himself from the guilt of the non-performance of other following duties. It was surely the person's duty to believe the gospel, and so to he enabled to perform all Christian duties and ordinances. On this voluntary principle, a person might with impunity disobey almost all moral duties ; he might thus reason, it is true there is a certain duty which I am bound to perform, but the duty is to be performed at a certain place, but I shall not go to that place, and so get clear of my obligation. Dr. Wardlaw, in one of his lectures, says, that it is as much an ordinance of God, that the church support itself, as it is his ordinance to observe the Lord's supper ; and the opponents to this principle, voluntaries upbraid with want of faith, when they apply to the world for assistance to support the minis ters of the gospel. It would surely be very desirable that voluntaries on this subject would " show their faith by their works," for not one of them in this matter acts according to his avowed faith. Why do not the pastors enforce on the `church the obedience of this ordinance of God, by telling the church that all sittings In the house of worship are free to all, that church members are to give to the support of the gospel just what they please, but by no means to take money from any but a member, as by doing so they would break an or dinance of God? Having had some experience of the work ing of this principle, I may be allowed to mention the follow ing circumstance :—I was once a member of a church, the pastor of which, with some of the members, wished to act on the voluntary system ; the house had been built and seated, and every one was at liberty to take a seat and pay what he pleased, the church consisted of about 60 members, and very few of them poor, and all that could be got from the church was about £4O. I was collector, and believing it proper that all hearers (at least) should pay, I applied to all, and with all my exertions, could never collect more than £5O. or £60., so the poor good pastor, for good he was, lived a few years in penury, and then died. I may mention another case, in which voluntaries act quite contrary to their avowed princi ples. They allege that governments should in no manner meddle or interfere in matters of religion, and I need only re fer to the proceedings of the Town Council here to show how contrary they have acted to their avowed principles—so soon as they became rulers in the state, one of their first acts was (as far as their power extended) to endow and support every religion, and besides they have made it imperative on their teachers in their schools, to see that the scholars should be instructed each in the doctrines of the religion which he pro fessed, whether, of course, these doctrines be true or false. This is surely interfering in religious matters with a witness, and one might think that it was an arbitrary enough proceed ing to come from Liberals. It would thus seem that our modern liberals and voluntaries have no objection that go vernment should endow the true religion, provided that false religions might be equally endowed; that by thus placing all religions on an equal footing, the world might be led to believe that all were equally good, a view which must destroy all true religious principles in the world. lam far from saying or thinking that this is the object of all liberals and voluntaries ; many amongst them would shudder at the idea of contribut ing to much a result. They are led to embrace the principle without seeing its inevitable consequence. It has ever been to me a matter of the greatest astonishment, how any Chris tian can reconcile to his principles and conscience his endea vours to instruct the rising generation in principles which, he must confess, are perfectly opposed to the Word of God, and destructive to the soul. ALEXANDER M'CREERY. Liverpool, August 20th, 1839. SOCIALISM. TO THOSE WHO ATTEND THE SOCIALIST LECTURES. Yesterday evening I attended the Socialist Lecture at the York Hotel, Tarleton-street, and having heard an attack upon the principles of the Bible, and upon the character of the l" priesthood" of the Church of England ; at the con clusion of the lectures, I stood forward to vindicate the au thority of the Bible as the word of God. Mr. Rigby, the accredited agent of the Socialists, offered to meet me to discuss Socialism. To this I consented, pro vided he would first discuss the following propositions :- 1. The Bible is a revelation from God. 2. To reject its authority is to bring eternal misery on the individual who does so. Mr. Rigby declined this offer, and after considerable dis cussion, Mr. Finch stood forward and agreed to meet me upon those propositions, provided I would admit the autho rised version to be the Bible. To this I consented, stating in writing, that I refer to " the authorised version as an honest translation, faithfully exhibiting the moral principles and dogmatic theology of the Hebrew and Greek originals." Mr. Finch objected to the wording of this statement, and we agreed to have an interview this morning, for a final arrangement, having previously pledged ourselves to a public discussion of the propositions referred to, in our individual character, and not as connected with any body. This morning the Rev. F. Barker accompanied me to Mr. Finch, who, in the presence of Mr. Rigby, declined meeting me, except as the secretary of the Irish Established Church Home Mission. Having no authority from the Irish Home Mission to do so, and the society being formed for a different object, I felt it right to adhere to the arrangement to which Mr. Finch had already publicly pledged himself, and again offered to meet him in my individual capacity as a clergyman of the Established Church, leaving to him the arrangement of the meetings. This Mr. Finch declined. I am still ready to meet any acknowledged leader of the Socialists to discuss those propositions :- 1. The Bible is a revelation from God. 2. To reject its authority is to bring eternal misery on the inclividiial'who does so. I cannot allow myself to conclude this statement without warning you of the danger in which your souls are, remind ing you of your responsibility to the God who has made you, and who will be found true to his word. " The wicked shall be turned into hell, and all the nations that forget God," and assuring you that through faith in the merits and death of his Son, Jesus Christ, our Lord, you can obtain pardon for all your sins, and eternal happiness for your souls, Earnestly praying that you may be delivered from the error of your ways,—l am, your faithful servant, JOSEPH BAYLEE. 105. Islington, Sept. 2, 1839. TRADESMEN'S INSTITUTION. This useful institution, which sprang into existence a few months ago, for the purpose of affording the young men and assistants employedin shops and counting houses an oppor tunity of employing their leisure time in the evening legiti mately and intellectually, is, we are happy to hear, progressing in its object. Mr. Cresswell visited the institution a few even ings back, and expressed himself highly pleased with its ar rangements. The following letters from Lord Sandon and Mr. Cresswell have been addressed to the secretary, accom panied with a donation of £5 from each " House of Commons, July 10, 1839. " DEAR SIR,—I shall be happy to occupy any part in your infant institution which may best promote its interest. I beg leave to be allowed to contribute five pounds towards its funds.—l am, dear Sir, your faithful servant, " SANDON. " To Mr. James M`Kenna, &c. &c." " Sin. — l have now the pleasure of enclosing the amount of my donation to the Tradesmen's Institution. Wishing that the young men of LiverpOol may derive from it all the benefits which you anticipate, I remain, your's faithfully, " C. CRESSWEL'L. " To Mr. James M`Kenna, &c. &c. " August 27, 1839." NORTHERN AND CENTRAL DISTRICT BANK.—At a meet ing of the proprietors of the Northern and Central Bank, held on Thursday the 29th inst., it was agreed that the con cerns of this bank shonld be finally wound up. It was also stated that the gross amount of subscribed capital was £647, 870 ; that the profits made from its commencement had been £133,927, making together £781,797 ; that the bank has now in cash, paying interest after the respective rates of 5 5/ and 6 per cent the sum of £74,860 ; that it has bills under discount £39,841 ; that it has in mortgages, estates, and other secu rities £142,077 ; that it has a debt deemed collectable, £126, 642 ; making in the whole bank assets £382,621. That the bank has claimants in the shape of holders of notes still in circulation, and owing to depositors, £8433 ; and that the nett balance dividable among the shareholders is £474,188 which, on 69,067 shares. will produce £5 7s. 3d. per share. This dividend of £5 7. 3d. shows, therefore, a loss of nearly half the paid-up capital. It is intended to pay to the share holders, in October next 20s. per share, and in January next 20s. more and to continue every succeeding six months to pay such dividend as the cash in hand will admit. Any proprie tor may now finally dispose of his shares to the bank at £4 per share, for payment of 30s. per share in October next, 30s. in post notes in 12 months from October, and the remaining 20s. in 18 months from October next. (A large deduction, this, for future expenses.) Some of the shareholders seem to entertain the intention of commencing business again, under the name of the Alliance Bank, and any of the present shareholders (Northern and Central) may become share holders in it, of say ten shares, on assigning over £5O to the Alliance directors, to be,paid out of the accruing dividends payable by the Northern and Central Bank. The Lincoln Chronicle says that an ingenious person resi dent at Spalding has i nvented a great improvement in horses' collars by inflating them. It has proved a wonder ful relief to the animal. POLICE INTELLIGENCE.-YESTERDAY. EXTENSIVE CASE OF PASSING FORGED AMERICAN BANS NOTES. Yesterday, Larkin Leigh, chief mate of the American ship, St. Mark ; Wm. Henry, the second mate ; and Wm. Pierce, the steward of the same ship ; were placed at the bar (they having been remanded from Friday), on a charge of having passed off, or having been accessory to passing off, forged notes, to Messrs. Lthl and Co., exchange brokers, No. 19, Waterloo-road. As the evidence given on Friday was recapitu lated, and some additional evidence of very considerable length adduced yesterday, when the examinations were for the most part taken de novo, it will be sufficient to furnish the principal portions in this stage of the proceedings. Mr. Thos. Luff said, in effect, that he first saw the pri soner Larkin Leigh (the mate) about a fortnight ago, when he called at the exchange-office, and asked him if they ex changed New York money. The reply was in the affirma tive, and the prisoner left the place. Witness had before seen him standing on the bows of the St. Mark. On the 19th of August the steward of the St. Mark (the prisoner Pierce) brought him a 20-dollar bill, of the North River Bank, of New York, to be cashed. This was exchanged. On the 24th of August a bill of similar tenor and amount was brought by the same individual, who said it was from the mate, Mr. Leigh. This, too; was exchanged. • The sum of £3. ls. was given for the first, and £3. for the second. A similar note was received from the second mate (Henry) on the same day. He said he had brought it from the first mate, and he received £3. -On the 26th three others were brought by the prisoner Pierce, steward of the St. Mark), and were also cashed. They were all for twenty dollars, were all of the North River Company, and was also stated to be from Mr. Leigh. The first three were paid away in the course of busi ness to Messrs. Robinson, of Waterloo-road. He received seven bills in all, one of them from the steward of the Mem phis. On Thursday evening he heard they were forged, and went to the St. Mark and enquired for the steward, but did not see him. The second mate (Henry) said he had gone home sick. On his return to the office he found the steward of the Cambridge had come with another similar note to get exchanged, and his partner Mr. Durandu had it in his hand. He (witness) said it was forged. The mate of the Cambridge said he had received it from Pierce for his watch which he had sold. He and his partner then went to the St. Mark. The second mate asked him if he knew that his steward had been passing bad notes in his name. Mr. Leigh replied, that he knew nothing of it, that the steward had, he believed, left the ship with his things, and that he had not authorised him to pass any bills. They afterwards went to the steward's house in Jordan -street, as directed by the steward of the Cambridge, and found a little sack. Witness asked him if he knew that the notes were forged, and he stated that he was sorry : he had-received them from the mate of the ship. They all went on board the St. Mark, and there found the mate Leigh. The steward said they had come about the bills which they said were bad. Leigh saidhe knew nothing about them. The steward said, " You know you have a lot of linen, and a lot of chintz, which you bought with the same kind of money. Witness did not recollect that the mate made any reply. He gave the mate and the steward into custody,—also the second mate who had passed one of the bills, which he had said he got from Leigh. The three notes paid away were indorsed with the name of the firm. On the others witness had written the name of Mr. Leigh. They had since examined the running margin of the notes. The words " Two Dollars " were continued round them ; but these had been generally erased, though some of them were still visible. (The notes were shown.) In the centre of a vignette was a circle or shield, on which a figure (2) had had been engraved ; but this was nearly erased. On each of the two circular portions of engraving on each side of this, the figure two had also been engraved ; but on these the figures 20 engraved on thin paper had been substituted. Below the vignette, the word " Two, ' between the words " pay" and " dollars" was covered in like manner by the word " Twenty" in smaller letters suited to the space. Alto gether the forgery is most ingenious and well calculated to deceive those not well acquainted with the notes of the bank. The signature at the bottom of L. Kipp, was genu ine, and it appeared is signed to notes under five dollars—all above that amount having the signature in full of Leonard Kip M r. p . Durandu stated that he had received one of the 20. dollar notes from the steward (Pierce), and had written Mr. Leigh's 'name upon it. He corroborated going on board, &c., with his partner. Edward Thompson, the steward of the Cambridge (a man of colour), said that he knew the steward of the St. Mark, having called on him. He (witness) told him he had a watch to sell, and Pierce proposed to sell it for him to the mate, Leigh. This was agreed to, and be (witness) received for it the 20-dollar note which he had taken to be exchanged. He mentioned that he had received it from the steward of the St. Mark. Capt. Chapell Vernam,:of the St. Mark, spoke to the pri soners, as belonging to his ship, in the capacities stated. Leigh had never sailed with him before. Henry had been with him three voyages. On the day after leaving New York, when they were taking the sun, the mate told him he had found in his quadrant case 20 0 dollars, which he thought he had lost. He said it was in bills. Witness said he was a fortunate man, and asked him if the bills were good. The reply was, that they were ; that they were of the North River Bank. The prisoner Pierce had complained of being ill the other day, and witness believed he was so. Wm. Goodman, a seaman, said that, on one occasion, when he wanted to borrow some money, the mate, Leigh, told him he had some counterfeit dollars, half-silver, which he might have, as " they would pass amongst the girls." He said the girls were not such fools, as they bit their money, and would not have them. He said he would sell them for 50 cents each. He said a young man had left them in his possession at New York, and had not returned for them. Witness afterwards saw some of them in the possession of a sailor named Sharman. He saw none of them in the posses sion of Leigh. John Sharman, a seaman onboard the St. Mark, said, that on Saturday morning last, he found 24 counterfeit dollars in the back-house, on a shelf. They were wrapped in green baize. He had heard that a suspicion had arisen, that they were in the ship, and searched for them. [These dollars, which had been given to the captain and by him to a police-officer, were here produced. They were very coarse, uneven counterfeits of Spanish dollars, of stained whitish hard metal.] The prisoner Leigh had previously denied all knowledge of them, or the notes exchanged at Luff and Co's. One of the constables, who searched the ship, said that Leigh had made no objection to his chest being searched. The steward had said that the dollars would be found in it, but none were found there. Police-constable Ainsworth identified the notes handed to him. He found in Mr. Leigh's room on board several pieces of cloth, and a basket of china—(produced.) The pieces were of poor calico, wrapped outside with linen, so as to represent the whole to be of the latter material.] These were found in Leigh's chest, which was open. The statements made by the prisoners on Friday were then read. Leigh denied having any communication with the steward on the subject of any note or notes. Henry, (the second mate,) said the mate Leigh had given him a £2O note to cash for him, and that he knew nothing of its being bad. Pierce, the steward, entered into a long statement which tended to throw the entire culpability upon the mate Leigh ; of whom, (by his account,) he was merely the dupe. A great portion of his statement was corroborated by some of the other witnesses. He spoke on Friday to the mate finding the notes in his quadrant case, and the conversation that passed between him and the captain. He went on to say that the mate had brought the linen and china on board here, and paid for them in bills similar to that described ; that he had commissioned him to buy the watch for the mate of the Cambridge, for a similar note ; that he had employed him (Pierce,) from time to time to exchange the notes at Messrs.- Luff and Co's : that he had for his trouble, given him one of the bills to buy what he liked, saying, he would divide with him ; that he had bought a guard chain, and the stock he then wore, and that the mate had kept the chain, and given him the stock. He also said, that the mate had offered the bad dollars to the seaman. Yesterday he added to his statement, an account of one of the dock-gate-men coming on board when the mate was absent, and asking him and Mr. Pierce, if the captain had left any money for him ; that this was mentioned to the mate on his return, and that he said it was not a payment the man came for, but sonic money he was to get exchanged for the mate. Mr. RUSHTON here said that he regretted he had, for the ends of justice, been obliged to detain William Henry, the second mate, so long. But there was not the slightest im putation on his character with respect to these transactions. He was then discharged. The captain of the ship expressed his concurrence in the opinion of Mr. R. as to Henry. The witnesses were then bound over to appear against the prisoners at the next assizes in March. They were not, however, finally committed, there being some additional testimony to be brought forward this day. Both prisoners, it was understood, would be committed; but it is not improbable but that the steward will be received at the trial as an approver. ANOTHER CASE OF STABBING. A man named P. Gallagher, was placed at the bar, charged with this too-prevalent offence. The evidence, however, was incomplete. From what • was stated by inspector Oak ley, and some police officers, it appeared the prisoner had been cohabiting with an abandoned woman named Mary Maxwell, in a cellar in Slater-street, Toxteth-park, and that early on Sunday morning a quarrel had arisen between them, and he had stabbed her with a clasp knife. The woman was attended from the Southern Hospital, by Dr. Baylis, who found her dangerously wounded, and she was still in a criti cal state. The point of the instrument, it was found, had penetrated between the ribs, just below the inferior angle of the shoulder blade, and wounded the lungs on the left side, so that for a time the inspired air escaped from the wound. Hopes are, however, entertained of her recovery. It fur ther appeared, that she had at first accused Gallagher of stabbing her ; but, afterwards, having probably been tam pered with, denied it. Mr. Rushton, however, ordered that he should be remanded until the woman could attend. It is lamentable to reflect that this is the third case of stab bing that has been attended from the South Disponsary within the last three months. WOOD V. IRON. — The City of Glasgow is a wooden steamer, of 200 horses' power : the Royal George is an iron steamer, of about 260 horses' power. For the satisfaction of those interested in the doings of wood and iron, it has been re quested to give a statement of the last trial between the City of Glasgow and Royal George. These vessels both arrived here on Sunday, and, after making allowance for the actual difference of start, the difference in speed is found to be some fifteen minutes in favour of the City of Glasgow. PORTRAIT OF THE REV. H. M`NEILE.—In consequence of the dissatisfaction of several of the Rev. H. M'N's friends with the former engraving from his portrait, by T. C. Thom son, Esq. R.H.A. it has been re-engraved by Mr. Cousins, at the express desire of the painter, and we have no doubt that the plate will fully realise the expectations of the most san guine. The original painting and a proof of the new plate, will be exhibited at the Liverpool Academy, when a com parison may be made by the friends of the rev. gentleman.— 'See Advt. EMPLOYMENT OF BOYS AS SHIPKEEPERS. — It will doubt less be known to many of our readers that a bye-law, relating to the port, requires, for security against depredation, fire, or other accident, that every vessel in the docks shall have a shipkeeper on deck during the period between two hours before high water and two hours after ; this precaution being especially necessary at a time when ships are entering or moving out of the docks. Captains of vessels who neglect to comply with this wholesome regulation are from time to time summoned to appear at the police-office ; and of late the attention of the magistrates has been directed to the fact that the respondents to the charge are many of them mere boys, who tender an excuse that they did not waken, or that they fell asleep, being unable to withstand the duty im posed uron them of watching for four hours during the night, after a fatiguing and long day's work in the discharg ing, load ❑g, or general business of the ship. Mr. Rushton, though 1: ider the necessity of fining for the offence, has made the sum, in such cases as low as possible,—knowing that the poor bo: themselves have generally to pay it out of their wages ; but he has not failed to express his strong reprehen sion of the practice of requiring boys after labouring ten or twelve hours to take the responsible duty of ship-keepers during the night a practice the more discreditable, inasmuch as it is resorted to, merely to serve the trifling expense of fresher hands. The more respectable firms of the port do not, we feel assured, sanction a system, which is at once op pressive to the boys so employed, and dangerous to the general safety of the ships and property in the docks.

MANCHESTER. (From our own Correspondent.) FLECTIONEERING PROCEEDINGS. — The town is in a state of bustle and excitement, and each party are canvassing the electors. Sir George Murray arrived at Bywater's Hotel, between ten and eleven o'clock on Friday night. Colonel Thompson arrived on Friday afternoon, and addressed the electors in Stevenson's-square. His reception was by no means of an encouraging nature. Mr. R. Hyde Greg, the whig candidate, is at present non est inventus, but messengers have been despatched in different directions to seek him. His committee have issued an address for him, but it is con sidered that he will stand but little chance, as the Wesleyan Dissenters, almost to a man, will vote against hin, because he is a Unitarian. The prospects of the conservative cause are of the most gratifying nature, and there is no doubt that Sir George will be elected by a triumphant majority. The conservatives here attribute their former defeat to the absence of their candidate, and they have now a decided advantage over the whigs. The speech of Sir George gave universal satisfaction and delight to the conservatives. It is said to be the best speech that has been delivered in Manchester for some time past. Placards are posted on the walls stating that Mr. Greg is laying out English capital in building manu factories abroad, and that Colonel Thompson is a chartist. The following is the address of Sir George Murray : • " Manchester, Friday Evening, 30th Aug. 1839. " To the Electors of the Town of Manchester.—Gentle men,—Having received this morning in London, an invita tion to offer myself on the present occasion, as a Candidate for the representation of the borough of Manchester in par liament, accompanied by an intimation that the sudden na ture of the opening . had led to my name being already brought forward with that view, I determined to do myself the honour of waiting personally upon the electors without a moment's delay. For, in the present condition of the affairs of the country, I should deem it to be unbecoming in any man to decline to use his best endeavours in the public service, when called upon to do so. " The following are the principles upon which I shall solicit your support. " I am firmly attached to that form of government under which this country has so long prospered, and I am attached to it because I believe that the balance of opposing interest which exists in the British constitution affords the best guarantee that can be obtained for the preservation of freedom. " I have been at all times a sincere friend to the principle of religious toleration, but I have never given encourage ment or support to any measure which appeared to me to have a tendency to injure the Protestant religion, or the churches attached to that faith, and upon that principle, al though a friend to general instruction, I am decidedly op posed to the system of national education advocated and promoted by the present government. " But it is not only with reference to particular measures that I feel unable to give any confidence to our present rulers. I object to that system of excitement and agitation by which the people have been for a long time acted upon, more to achieve through their means the ascendancy of a party, than to effect any substantial and permanent improve ment in their condition. " Considering commerce and manufactures to form the true basis of the greatness of this country, these branches of industry and the interests connected with them will have at all times my anxious attention and most cordial support. " Should these principles be so fortunate as to meet with your approbation, I shall deem it a most distinguished honour to be placed by your suffrages in the situation of one of the representatives of this numerous and influential portion of the commercial interests of Great Britain.—l have the honour to be, gentlemen, your very faithful and obedient servant, " G. MURRAY." SIR GEORGE MURRAY'S SPEECH. After the tremendous cheering had subsided, Sir GEORGE addressed the electors as follows :—Gentlemen,—l am quite aware of the value of time to all the gentlemen whom I have the honour to address ; and I am anxious, therefore, to enter at once upon that which has brought me here, that I may have the pleasure of explaining to you my sentiments upon public affairs. (Hear, hear.) Gentlemen, eight-and-forty hours ago—l might almost say, four-and-twenty hours ago— I had not the least anticipation that 1 should be in Manches ter this day, or that I should have the honour of addressing so numerous and so respectable a body of its inhabitants, and asking for their suffrages to send me to parliament as the guardian of their interests and the interpreter of their wishes. (Cheers.) I heard of the appointment of your late repre sentative, Mr. Poulett Thomson, as I heard any other piece of news, without anticipating in the slightest degree that it it was a matter of any personal interest to me. The only feeling I had was this, that I sincerely wished Mr. Poulett Thomson success in that ardous undertaking upon which he is about to enter. I have been in the Canadas. I know the importance and value of those colonies to the mother country, and I am sincerely anxious that the difficulties which have unhappily arisen in that country should be smoothed and healed ; and that we should proceed in a way that will give perfect satisfaction, both to the parent country and the colo nies ; that they may continue united, and mutually support each others interest for many years to come. (Cheers.) I know Mr. Poulett Thomson to be a man of superior ability, and I trust he will be more successful than some of his pre decessors have been, in adjusting the difficulties there. Gen tlemen, it is probably hardly necessary that I should assure you of my attachment to the British constitution. (Loud cheering.) I think, gentlemen, I should do wrong to the loyalty, and to the understanding, I might almost venture to say, of every gentleman here present, if I presumed to doubt his devoted attachment to that system of government which has brought this country to a higher pitch of power, of wealth, and of prosperity, than any country in the world has ever at tained. Gentlemen, under the blessing and the protection of Providence I ascribe all those advantages to that admirable system which we have so long known under the appellation of the British constitution • a system in which the balance of ' the power of the crown, the power of the nobility, and the power of the House of Commons, keeps matters in that po sition which they would not retain if too great a prepon derance of power were cast into any one of those three de partments of the legislature ; for I am sure it is necessary but to look a little way back into history, to make perfectly sensible, that although there may be danger to liberty from the crown, although there may be danger to liberty from a prepondering, weight amongst the nobility, there may also be danger to public liberty, even from the people themselves, if thy rashly confided into the hands of their representatives a greater share of authority than it is safe they should be en trusted with. (Loud cheers.) We need not deny it—it is human nature—that all men are fond of power ; and depend upon it, that even a House of Commons elected by the peo ple, unless we preserve those constitutional checks that have hitherto existed in the country, will be apt to run a little riot with the preponderance of their own weight ; backed, as they will be, and as they naturally expect to be, by the immense power and weight of the people, if they do their duty to the people. Therefore, I think I need say nothing more with regard to my attachment to the British constitution. There are many men who fancy a republic is a better form of go vernment, and I do not quarrel with them for their political opinions—any more than with their religious opinions con scientiously entertained—but I would merely ask this of any gentleman who may be enamoured of a republic, are you cer tain that, if we abandon our limited monarchy, you will be able to reach a republic ? How many rocks and shoals, and. how many dangers intervene, upon which we may suffer ship wreck, if we once depart from that secure anchorage upon which we have so long rested. I have alluded to religious toleration. That is a principle I have always advocated and supported. I conceive no power whatever, either in the state or in the hands of any individual, should have tie right to control man's opinions upon the subject of religion. I have been, it is true, always a supporter of the Esta blished Church in this country. (Hear, hear, and cheers.) I have been always an advocate for supporting and pro tecting the established Church of England, for which I enter tain the highest respect—(cheers) and I have always advoca ted the protection of that in which 1 myself have been brought up, I mean the Established Church in Scotland. Gentlemen, if either of these churches were to attempt to arrogate to it self any exclusive ascendancy, or to seek to put down the opinions of any other class, 1 should not be able to go along with it, because I think religious and civil liberty must go to gether in order that both may be perfect. (Hear) Now, gentlemen, it is natural that from the subject of religion, I should pass to that of education. That is a subject which has occupied public attention of late years to a great degree ; and it is certain that there is no subject of higher importance to the country. There is no doubt that every thing which tends to the improvement of our faculties is a most desirable object; but then the question is, what is the right way of proceeding to effect that object ? Some people have advoca ted a notion that there is such a thing as intellectual im provement, separate from moral and religious instruction. With that idea I cannot concur, (loud cheers) I have always been accustomed to consider that education has reference, not only to the interests of the individual wbo improves him self in his intellectual faculty, but it has reference also to, and a close connection with, the welfare of society at large. A man may gain advancement for himself by his talents, and by the improvement of his intellect, but as members of the social community we must look mainly to his religious im pressions and to his moral conduct. Loud cheers.) — I am here in order to make my opinions clearly understood. (Hear, hear.) They may be right or wrong—we are all, you know, subject to error—my opinions may differ from those of other men better qualified to give a correct judgment than am ; but, at the same time, the duty of a candidate is clearly to explain his general principles, that no one may be able to misunderstand him. (Loud cheers, in which a voice was heard " That's honest !") I have alluded to the education of the country. Allow me, gentlemen, to allude also to ano ther general measure that has been lately introduced into the country. I mean the system of the poor-laws. (Hear.) My opinion with regard to the system of poor-laws has been long ago expressed, and I have not yet seen occasion to alter it. Mp opinion is, it is founded upon a dangerous principle—the principle of centralization ; and that, generally speaking, local matters are best managed by local authorites. (Great cheering.) Those gentlemen who form the board of commis sioners in London, who have in charge the interests of the poor throughout the kingdom—it is quite impossible they can, form any correct opinion upon many local affairs. They are too remote from them to be able to understand them, and the consequence is this—and it is one attending all principles of centralization wherever introduced—that they are obliged therefore to act upon general rules, and those general rules may, in many instances, not from inattention upon the part of those gentlemen, but upon the nature of the system itself, act with extreme injustice and severity. (Hear, hear.) I am far, very far, from blaming the individuals—quite the contrary. They may be perfectly respectable men : they may be able men, and desirous of discharging the duties im posed upon them very judiciously ; but the very nature of the system opens a door to great abuses, whereas, when the interests of the poor are entrusted to the local authorities, there may abuses arise from want of diligence and attention upon their part; but I think much greater abuses are likely to flow out of an opposite system. (Hear, hear, and cheers.( Another point to which I would advert is, a system which has gradually been growing upon this country, 1 allude to the police system. (Hear, hear.) The time was when the laws of this country owed their chief support to the respect which the people entertained for them. (Hear, hear.) That, gen tleman, is a security to the law infinitely beyond that of any physical force which could be brought. (Hear.) In former times in this country, gentlemen, there was a great jealousy, and justly so, amongst the people, of a standing army. I think that jealousy and the grounds of it have now pretty nearly gone by. The military body is not now what it was in those days. I believe there are in the army men of as beral sentiments as in any other profession in the world, that the army in proportion to the population is a mere nothing, besides which, the greater part is employed in foreign pos sessions, for the protection of which a regular standing army is indispensable. But let us take care that there does not arise a new army in this country, a new army—(hear) an army of police officers—(hear, hear,) not, gentlemen, the army of the Crown, but the army of the Home Secretary of State. (Cheers.) Gentlemen, lam very far from imputing any improper views or feelings to Lord John Russell—quite the contrary ; but still I say it is fit and becoming in all of us to watch over thesenew principles that have been introduced, especially when we see suggestions given to government, and those suggestions acted upon, of sending the police of the metropolis by railway to act under the arbitrary control of the Secretary of State in any part of the united kingdom. I have seen that measure in operation in Ireland, where I was for some years. There is a body there consisting of not much less than six thousand men, and they are entirely., and in every respect, clothed, armed, and disciplined as a military force. (Hear.) I hope the state of Great Britain—the state of England especially is not such as to require any such en gine as that in order to support government and law. (Hear.) Now, there is another topic which I think it right to men tion, as I believe it interests a large portion of very respect able persons in this community—l mean with regard to what has been known by the name of the beer law. (Hear.) Now as I was in office when that law was passed, I think it the more incumbent upon me to endeavour to redress the evils of which I believe it has been the source. It was passed during the administration of the Duke of Wellington. There was then a surplus revenue, andltwasle'6isaiikedailil what manner this could be applied for the advantage of those who have undoubtedly always the first claim to any that may arise from a surplus of revenue-4 mean the httn%ler classes of society; and it was most conscientiously beliottY 4tAit time by those in the government that this beer law,rottld,be,r. a boon to - the humbler classes of society. • (I3ear)f, that, since - that period, as is the case often with iheor4ical„ views, the practical working of the measure has beew found pregnant with many evils ; and I. think there is a generel feeling throughout the country—especially with• all , these• persons connected with the magistracyf-Ltbat, roany evils,aud, much demoralization have arisen oat :rof-..:that ,systen.i.--,-., (Cheers.) I should he anxious, were.l.a•rnetnbtiridiP4rAa meat, to seek to remove those evils whichapiost,un4on,if sciously was a partaker in introducing: (14tatuk ektor=so —... . Perhaps it is right I should advert a little to the opinions I entertain with regard to the-present governinient of the poun try. (Hear, hear.) They are no secret—nag oplaions,upon • that subject. (Hear, and - laughter.) ' tiudsntlivfOly. I have no feelings but those of the most friendly kind,:towards all . those noblemen and gentlemen. who are -eon-meted, with it, . for I have never had any intercourse wit their inktpf a meat,, friendly character in my little affairs. But I,speak of „them, not as private individuals, but as public inew;,,and4 em nfess - I have not that confidence in the present government which. many persons have heretofore had, but ,whicil, 4 believe,. even amongst their most zealous :and. ardent -supporters, . is beginning to be considerably, abated. i,(daond,eheers„)- 7 : Gentlemen, it appears to me—l .speak vpul* iqm • Ny ti 9i - . 4 . , because possibly it may occur, that a little bign.igaz,444 mind—but I speak under correction - when tawit„Appear a i, to me that our present rulers have looked-vatlacfit9php;m449, party ascendancy, and too little to the public,g,ood.

(Cheers)—Gentlethen, the mention of this system of excitement and agitation, naturally, lam sorry to say, leads me to speak of Ireland. I feel a warm interest in that country ; I have.lived, much ametigThe Irish ; I think them a warm-hearted and generous . pee*. They possess a country upon .which nature Las beste*pd every possible advantage, which it ought to he our maindb ject to seek to improve. But, from various causes, of which it is not necessary to enter into a long detail, that country has always been behind Great Britain in the advancement of all the arts and sciences in civilization, and in every improe meat which it should he the great object of government, arid of the community at large, to endeavour to promete.
