Now, if the " Were i n •-• Polder, they would introduce and carry out suchmeasures, with far more zeal and efficacy than the Liberals, with all their hollow professions and noisy promises ; for the former have an interest in the prosperity and quiet of Ireland, the latter thrive best when she is turbulent and wretched. " Keeping Ire land" with them, means keeping up sufficient misery to render the populace subservient tools to their own selfish purposes. A Conservative administration might be hostile to Municipal Corporations, and refuse to pass an appro priation clause, but these, we repeat, are not the ques tions which would set Ireland in a flame, and render that country the rock on which their party would be shipwrecked—on these points. they may safely differ from their opponents and run no risk of not "keeping Ireland." In a very short time the tangible palpable benefits conferred by measures which would give food and labour to the peasant would produce their effect, and the people, no longer delirious with the agony of want, would turn a deaf ear to the lying demagogues whose constant effort is to influence their passions and stultify their understandings. We firmly believe that the difficulty, as respects Ire land, has been much exaggerated by the Conservatives themselves. They attach too much importance to the big blusters of O'Connell and his crew, who, whenever they allude to the possibility of Sir Robert Peel taking office, throw themselves into a paroxysm of madness, and talk of blood, and wounds, and cannon, and death, as furiously as if they were not themselves the most paltry cowards in existence. But, happily, their vile calumnies would recoil upon themselves. The Irish people would soon find that grapeshot was not mowing them down—that the Duke of Wellington was not marching upon them at the head of some 200,000 men —and that, in fact, none of the horrors in which their imagination had dressed the return of the Conservatives to power were realised. Let not the latter he false to themselves, nor value the empty menaces, of the Dublin Corn Exchange more than they would the threats of a bullying coward, and they will gain and keep Ireland in spite of the priests and Mr. Richard Lalor Sheil, the poetical 'Vice-President of the Board of Trade. Never was the descent from the sublime to the ridi culous made more decisively, or with more wonderful rapidity, than when the Session of 1839 closed upon the Melbourne Ministry and the Melbourne Parlia- went. Questions in which it is no exaggeration to say that the welfare of the whole world was more or less intimately involved were hushed at once, and everybody was occupied in discussing with intense anxiety the possible merits of Mr. Francis Baring and Mr. Poulett Thomson. One of the Roman Emperors made his horse a Consul, in derision of the e . fete in- stitutions of the Roman Republic : and we suppose it is in some such spirit that Lord Melbourne makes Mr. Poulett Thomson Governor of British America— ;o add insult to injury, and spurn with the hoof of contempt the important interests he has already de graded and oppressed. Doubtless the time will arrive when these questions will have a very momentous in terest, and be very seriously discussed. More than enough, meanwhile, has been said and thought con cerning so very contemptible a personage. But when the contending armies retire annually to their winter quarters, it is not, we humbly conceive, to indulge in indolence and lethargy, but to recruit their forces and concentrate their strength. Hence questions of paramount importance, for which the rapid succession of political events affords no seasonable in terval during the season of active service in the field, Force themselves upon men's minds, and are looked to with renewed and untiring interest. First and foremost of these questions with the coun try at large, and not least, we are proud to say, with the intelligent and right-minded constituency of Liver pool, is the great subject of National Education. This will naturally occupy a large portion of men's thoughts, and will present itself to Parliament in the ensuing Session under circumstances of paramount and in- creasing importance. Already, indeed, has universal England spoken out plainly and broadly enough. But her cry, though we do not believe the miserable place lings will wholly dare to disregard it, has not yet been treated with the respect which the nation has demanded and will require. That cry must be yet louder and still more imperative. No one of our Conservative readers in Liverpool who was present, (and who was not present ?) at the great Banquet in the Music Hall last October, can ever forget the rising of that vast and most respectable assemblage as one man, when the excellent Chairman, in the name of the people of Liverpool, called upon our Representatives most sacredly to watch, not this or that topic of commercial or local interest, but that great national and religious question, the Education of Youth in sound and Christian principles. And no one who has attended (and who has not attended ?) to the conduct of these excellent and able men in Par liament, can fail to regard with the most lively sense of pleasure the manner in which they spoke the voice of Liverpool. The traitor Gibson—the dishonourable traitor to the cause of truth, who basely practised with the Mi nisterial myrmidons the secret artifices of that disho nest faction, and withheld from his injured constitu ents at Ipswich the occasion of vindicating their honest principles until his ill-gotten voice had turned in their favour the quivering scale of this anxious trial, — has met with his reward at the hands of a second constituency. And he may in no small degree thank the feeling which is everywhere predominant upon this most vital subject, if borough after borough shall re ject him with contempt, and he be forced at last, like his brother renegade who has ceased to mis-represent the town of Liverpool, to solicit constituency after constituency, and probably take refuge at last in the tender mercies of the Lord of Kilkenny and Carlow. At Manchester there can be no doubt whatever that Sir George Murray's cause was deeply identified with this prevailing feeling. Even in that hotbed of dissent the alarm has been taken, and has widely spread. - The excellent Wesleyans have carried into action the prin ciples they so ably avowed in their petition to Parlia ment, and in their contemptuous 'commentary upon O'Connel:'s idle and insolent remonstrance. Fighting, as their Founder would have fought, by the side of the Church, they have read to the intolerant and fac tious clique who glory in the title Liberal a lesson which will cause them to chew the cud of bitter fan cies, until a Dissolution of Parliament and a Conser vative triumph shall put them out of their misery for There seems to be no teaching these dunderheads the simplest lesson. Openly as they are told day by day that whenever they outrage the religious feelings of the British community they damage their own cause, —loudly as themselves complain that they can not trifle with the Church without sustaining irrepara ble loss as the necessary and immediate consequence, they still persist by a wilful and blind fatuity in their foolish course, and each succeeding election, bears wit ness to the palpable result. They have no ends in view but sordid and selfish interest. Let them, then, in the name of common sense, forbear from, provoking the wrath of a power that is mightier than they. II the Church were not too strong for Whiggery, she would indeed be weak. The Cluirch will prevail, for in the affections of the English people she occupies the first and dearest place. Let the aggressors look to it. We have adverted in the last article to the interest which universally belongs to the question of National Education. We propose in the present to say a few words on the very extraordinary conduct of that eccen tric individual who has made himself in this subject the most conspicuous means of mischief—we mean Lord Brougham. We do not care one farthing whe ther he be fighting by the side of Lord Lyndhurst or Lord 'Melbourne in the House of Lords, or toadying the Duke of Wellington at a dinner, or lauding O'Connell (as he deigned to do within two short years) at a democratic meeting. Be he where he may, and however engaged, he is still the same intense, un mitigated humbug. Full of ambitious pretences and fair promises, universally disbelieved and distrusted, he is an object rather of curious speculation to all par ties in politics than of serious interest to any one among them. What, for example, could be the solution of his absurd behaviour immediately before the Prorogation on this very subject of National Education ? What signified those crocodile's tears, and that pretended eulogy of his bitterest public enemy, and that ostenta tious sacrifice of his own most favourite schemes to his implicit confidence in the industry and wisdom of Lord Melbourne ? We defy any Mercury in the Heathen world (Mer cury, as we need not remind our readers, was the god of thieves and conjurors, and the solver of riddles, and very different from certain modern Mercuries, who are no conjurors) to provide an answer for this per plexing question. He told the world, indeed, in his celebrated Letter to Lord John Russell, that there was one price at which he might be bought—their surren der to his mischievous crotchets on this subject. Have even the Melbourne Ministers not gone far enough for him ?—will they not yet go far enough ?—are they determined, amidst all their wickedness, carefully to eschew any particular wickedness which should bring about the dreaded reconciliation with Lord Brougham? And has he, in despair, abandoned at last this sole condition, and surrendered himself at discretion to the Mayor of Pimlico ? We dare not say. But this we will venture to assure Lord Brougham, that even the miserable Melbourne Ministry will not (because they dare not) have him for a gift : he is so tricky and intriguing and untrustworthy, that, galling as he is while their enemy, he would be far more dangerous as their friend. Offer what he will—implore what he may—threaten what he can, he has placed himself far beyond the pale of all political alliance, and no man in his sober senses will dare to trust him for the future. He offers the hand of friendship, as the Fox to the Cock in Dryden's Fable; and any sane man will an swer him as the Cock answered the Fox— Lest this truce with treason should be mixed, 'Tis my desire to have the tree betwixt." We only wish his example may be a warning to rising Whigs (if any such extraordinary creatures can be found as rising Whigs) how far more valuable inte grity is than active intellect—sterling worth than vague, declamation and fierce invective. By the Skylark packet we have received our usual files of the Jamica papers to the 17th ultimo inclusive. The intelligence which they communicate is not of much importance. The Jamica Gazette wishes us to take note that there are 135,000 including whites, brown, and black, entitled to the franchise in that island. The number it is added, was on the increase. Such a statement, if correct, of which perhaps there is no doubt, must give rise to serious reflections with respect to the state of the representation in that island, which, it would appear, must fall before long into the hands of the enfranchised population exclusively. How, in the almost total absence of all education or moral fit ness for the exercise of rights conferring so much power, or under the absolute guidance of parties who,have proved themselves by their reckless intern perance of language and action so capable of goad ing them into any excess, the freed blacks may be found to bear their new faculties, will naturally be.. come a subject of much uneasiness both here and in the island. An indictment for libel brought by the Rev. Mr. Knibb, the Baptist missionary, against Mr. Dyer, of the Cornwall Courier, had resulted in a verdict of " Not guilty." As a social peculiarity springing out of recent changes, it may he noticed that the enfran chised negroes were not disposed to submit to the old familiarities of being called solely by their Christian or characteristic names, but insist on being saluted in the more courteous fashion. After all, this is a merely harmless exhibition of negro character, the leading fea ture of which is an excess of vanity, thus displayed in affecting fine names, and fine or tawdry dress, in hum ble imitation of their superiors in station. It may even be one and a principal means of exciting to better habits of industry and good conduct, by the larger earnings thereby acquired to be the more readily enabled to in dulge the ruling taste for luxuries seemingly above their condition. . The Governor of Jamaica had issued a proclamation proroguing the meeting of the Legislature to the 10th of this month, in the course of which he denounces the conduct of the negroes in ,the parish of Trelawney more especially, for refusing to work except at exorbi tant wages, and for insisting, as a condition for pay ment of rent, that they should be entitled to hold their houses and grounds by yearly lease. We have received a file of the Guiana Chronicle to the sth of August inclusive. The News which they contain is comparatively unimportant. They notice as an interesting discovery, that the cocoorn of the silk worm had been recently found in the interior of the colony. This had led to various speculations on the practicability of introducing the growth of silk there. It is properly observed in the Guiana Chronicle, that as the climate of the East Indies, of various parts of the United States, and of the southern states of Eu rope, is found well adapted for the rearing of silkworms and the cultivation of the mulberry -tree, which is a delicate plant, that of Demerara cannot be unfavour able. It is mentioned, indeed, that the neighbouring French colony of Cayenne produces and exports silk in some quantity. In the present depressed state of sugar and coffee cultivation, and with no very cheer ing prospects of amelioration for the future, the plant ers are urged to enter upon this new and more profita ble career of cultivation and production, for which, from the less laborious exertions requisite, there would be no lack of the hands necessary. By the packet-ship Europe, Captain Marshall, we have received New York papers to the 2d instant, in clusive. The Europe arrived on Tuesday night, at too late an hour for us to avail ourselves of the news which she brought for our second edition of that day. The Courier and Enquirer of the 2d instant says that a better feeling was beginning to show itself in the Stock Market, and that a considerable business was transacted at advanced prices. The improvement ap- pears to be attributed to the nature of the communi cation from the President of the United States Bank, _ _ to the effect that no further demands for specie wou' for the present be made by that institution in settle ment of balances. The business in foreign exchanges for the packets was rather limited, and though the market was fairly supplied with bills, some advance was generally demanded by drawers, in consequence of the United States Bank having declined selling for the last few days. The Daily Express states that the United States Bank does not draw for the present on London. This, it is said, would be a severe disap pointment to many who have been in the habit of tak ing their bills at a moment's notice, and for vast amounts. For the previous six months this institu tion had been a regular drawer at 1081 to 1091, and in one instance at 60, thus keeping the rate not only permanent, hut under the rate which would require the shipment of specie; and whatever balances required to be paid in specie, they had been the shippers. It is urged that it would have been decidedly better for the public that the Bank should be the shippers of specie, than that the shipments should be made by a great number of individuals. The transactions in exchange on England had been limited at 8i to 9 per cent. The demand for Cotton had been moderate, chiefly for ex- port. Advices from Philadelphia to the Ist instant, state that businesS was extremely dull, and the opera tions limited to a supply for immediate wants. The scarcity of money was severely felt. The prices of cotton were well sustained, and the supply limited. Exchange on England was at 9 per cent. The advices from Montreal are to the 28th ultimo. In both provinces of Canada there prevailed the most profound tranquillity. Sir John Colborne had sus pended the operation of martial law in Lower Ca nada. Respecting the North-Eastern boundary question we have the following information in the Courier and Enquirer of the 27th ultimo :- 44 TII E NORTH-EASTERN BOUNDARY.—Messrs. Mudge and Featherstonhaugh, at the date of our last accounts, were actively engaged in their official duties, as the British go vernment surveyors of the North Eastern Boundary. They reached Fredericton more than a fortnight ago, and immedi ately commenced the requisite investigation at Government House. " The Fredericton Sentinel says they have been assisted by his Honour the Chief Justice, and other individuals who possess the requisite information. Of their intention, the Sentinel says, that " the Scoudic will be examined to its source, not the first lake, but the Farthest source or spring, upon the westzrn branch of the same, which first mingles its waters with those of the said river,' as described in the ori ginal grant of the country to Sir William Alexander ; whence they can run a direct line to the highlands contemplated by the treaty of 1783. " John Wilkinson, Esq., civil engineer, who was engaged i❑ the St. Andrew's railroad survey, and who is said to be well acquainted with that part of the country, and also Mr. Whitman, who was engaged in the same service, are to ac company the commissioners. " We learn from the Augusta Age of the 20th, that Sir John Harvey has written a letter to Governor Fairfield, in forming him that the commissioners appointed by Great Britain are desirous of visiting the disputed territory to ascertain the practicability of running the treaty line, We presume,' says the Age, an organ of the administration, that the authorities of this State will not throw any ob struction in the way of commission confined to the purposes stated in his Excellency's note." " On this remark,the Portland Courier comments in the following terms : It is gratifying to observe in the leading organ of the administration, a strong expression of approbation of this courtesy of Governor Harvey, in giving information to our authorities of the object of the British Commissioners. " This is precisely what Governor Kent did under similar circumstances, and which drew upon him the unmitigated storm of those consistent patriots. But it was your bull that goaded my ox !' How differently objects appear when the medium through which we view them is altered. " If the course which was adopted by Governor Kent in relation to the survey of the line by our commissioners, and now by Governor Harvey, had been pursued by Governor Fairfield last winter in regard to the trespassers, a vast deal of expense and angry feeling would have been avoided, and the whole object , contended for b een more sa ti s f a ctorily ac complished.' ' Advices from Rio Janeiro to the 10th of August, had been received, which state that the country in general with the exception of the Province of Rio Grande, remained tranquil, and the new ministry were using every exertion to bring this war to an end. A Brazilian vessel had been captured by a privateer ander the flag of " Piratinim," the name of the Republic, the rebels of Rio Grande are endeavouring to establish. The " suspicious schooner" mentioned in former advices, had been captured in Gardiner's Bay. She proved to be the Spanish schooner L'Armisted, which, on her voyage from Havana to Neuvitas, was seized by the slaves, who murdered the greater part of the white men on board. We quote from the Morning Courier and Enquirer, the following particulars respect ing the capture : " The following extract from the Sag Harbour Corrector contains some further particulars of interest in relation to the circumstances which preceded the capture of the Spanish schooner. The idea that the individuals mentioned therein, are entitled to salvage on the doubloons the negroes brought on shore, appears to us somewhat out of place. The account the negroes gave of themselves, their appearance, their object, everything in short connected with them, waS sufficient to have led honest men to have detained them, if the people where they landed were in sufficient force to have done it, and this from the circumstances mentioned. would appear to have been the case. " The New Haven Herald states that the U. S. Marshal and clerk of that district, had left there on Wednesday last, to take possession of the scbooner in question, and that it is probable the crew will be taken to New Haven for examina tion. (From the Sag Harbour Corrector of Aug. 28.) "'A PRIZE SCHOONER. — Captain Henry Green, of this place, very politely called upon us last evening, after our pa per was made up, and gave us the items of the following ex traori'inary adventure. "' While with Capt. Peletiah Fordham, in a gunning ex cursion on Monday last, at Fort Pond Bay. about 18 miles east of this place, fell in with four blacks, who had no other coverings save a blanket, who could talk neither English, French nor Spanish, but one of them understood a little of the first. They enquired what country this was, and whether it was a slave colony, &c. Four more now joined them, and they wanted Captain Green to go on board their schooner, then lying off Fort Pond Bay, and carry them to Sierra Le one, stating that they had a quantity of money on board, and that they must be on board before the sun went down to get under way. " Captains Green and Fordham, suspecting all was not right, told them if they attempted to get under way, there was a man of war brig and schooner looking for them, and that they certainly would be taken ; and offered to go on board and bring their schooner into port, which they refused to comply with that night, but would consent to it the next morning. Captain Green then persuaded them to land their money, which they agreed to ; the boat, with part of them, then went off and brought two trunks, which they said con tained four hundred doubloons, and that there were more on board. A number more of the blacks from on board came on shore with them, making the whole number on shore about twenty. Captains Green and Fordham took possession of the two trunks, said to contain the 400 doubloons ; a brig then hove in sight off Gardner's Point, which passed under the schooner, tacked, and then lowered her boat, which pro ceeded to the schooner ; the blacks were then anxious for Captain Green to go on board 'and bring the schooner into port, but he then told them it was too late. " ' The boat boarded the schooner, when as many of the blacks on shore as could get into the boat, pushed off for the schooner likewise, and when about half way was met by the brig's boat, which drove them back to the shore, when the brig's boat landed and made prisoners of the blacks, whom they carried on board, as likewise the two trunks, which they took from the possession of Captains Green and Fordham. " The blacks had been to two or three houses, and had bought some bread, which they said was for the mate who was sick on board, for which they offered a piece of gold of the value of 4 dollars ; they likewise bought two dogs, which they gave a doubloon apiece for. The brig is said tq be the one surveying the coast, and the officer that landed, a Mr. Porter—son of the old commo dore. After the schooner was in possession of the brig, a man was seen to jump overboard and make for the shore, but was pursued by a boat andretaken. " ' Had not Captains Green and Fordham persuaded them to land their money, which took up some time, and (righted them with the story of the man of war brig and schooner, they would have been under way and out of reach of the brig, and we think that Captains Green and Fordham are entitled, at least, to a salvage on the money which they had taken, and was retaken from them by the officer of the brig." The following are the only additional extracts of any importance : (Prom the Courier and Enquirer of Aug. 31) "FROM MEXICO.—The schooner Cumanche, arived a' New Orleans on the 20th inst. from Vera Cruz, whence she sailed on the 9th, bringing 18,000 dollars in specie. " The U. S. schooner . Boxer, Corn. Nicholson, belonging to the squadron in the Pacific ocean, anchored in the port of Mazalian on the 27th June, from a cruise along the western coast of Mexico. " Correspondence of the Louisianian. " Fxtract of a letter from Vera Cruz, dated August Bth, 1839. " The political position of this country has taken a turn a little discouraging, on account of the measures taken by Bus tamente since his resumption of the presidency, which are in opposition to every thing done by Santa Ana, whilst he held the reins of government. " He commenced.by changing his ministry—the first stroke of his policy—he afterwards re-established the liberty of the kess which had been muzzled by Santa Ana, and he has since cdused congress to annul the last loan made by Benemerito, which discloses the most scandalous act ever perpetrated, and which will annihilate the little credit yet preserved by the re publit in Europe. But he has bad a great satisfaction and the fate of his country is the least of his cares. Still there are people perfidious enough to laud in the newspapers the services rendered to the Republic during his reign. All these occurrences, as you may suppose, are not of a nature to re store tranquility. Vera Cruz is commanded by Santa Ana (General Caro) who when he learned General Gaona had been appointed governor of the castle of Ulloa, declared that he would not allow him to take possession of that post, and thalhe had 2000 men, including the convicta under his com t mand, to oppose him que tal ? Can we be otherwise than in a state of apprehension ? Execrable country !! ! " Extract of another letter from Vera Cruz, dated Bth August. " They speak of a project of pronunciamiento which will shortly take place here. It is expected to take place as soon as General Gaona arrives, who has been appointed com mander of Ulloa by Bustarrente. Santa Anna manages this thing underhandidly. " This wretch who has covered himself with ignominy by the acts of his administration, wants to make an insurrection against Bustamente because the latter blamed certain shame ful contracts which he had entered into. "The chamber has just annulled the contract for a loan which Santa Anna had concluded with an English company for £130,000 sterling. This contract would have loaded the nation with a debt of several millions without giving it a cent. " Santa Anna has received a large present for his part. There has also been a contract for 22,000 muskets, which are to arrive at Vera Cruz, at 64 dollars each, by which means Santa Anna would have gained 200,000 dollars, and his min "try as much." (From the Courier and Enquirer of Sept. 2.) " The Kennebec Journal gives the following interesting summary of the achievments of Governor Fairfield's boun dary war : " The upshot of the matter is, that logs valued at half a m illion of dollars, have been cut by the trespassers ; we have expended six or eight hundred thousand dollars in the war ; we have sold or bargained away timber to the amount of thirty thousand dollars ; we have lost only from twelve to fourteen hundred thousand dollars, and made no sort of progress with the boundary question. When all the bobbery was kicked up, and the loggers had carried off the land agent to Frederickston on an ox sled, Governor Harvey did threaten to interfere, but he took care to keep his own side of the line. Not a single British soldier was marched.to the Aroostook ; the thing all ended in smoke—and yet he managed the matter to get the consent of Maine, never before given, that the British should have a free passage way across to Canada, which is all they want. " By electing Governor Fairfield, the state has lost in debts contracted and loss of timber, MORE THAN A MILLION OF DOLLARS, besides loss of character in taking up arms, making a great flourish, and then backing out, and leaving President Van Buren to negotiate'. " Postscript. Since the above was in type we have seen a gentleman from Houlton, who is a leading and influential member of the Van Buren party, and he tells us that no timber has been sold ; that the land agent, limiting the mini mum to three dollars a thousand, no one bid that amount, and therefore none was sold. " Prom the same authority we learn that there is not a single stick of timber in the boom. If there is none in the boom, and none has been sold, what becomes of the thirty thousand dollars which the Age tells us about ? Can the Age tell who bought the tinahec, acid when, and at what price ?" (From the Daily Express of Sept. 2.) " LATE FROM MEXICO. - By the way of New Orleans we have accounts from the city of Mexico to the 4th ult. Pre sident Bustamente, on his return to the capital restored to the press all the rights and privileges which it formerly en joyed. He also issued a decree annulling a contract made by Santa Ana with a London company for a loan of £130,000 sterling ; and another relieving General Andrade of the pe nalties incurred by him by not returning to Mexico within the time fixed by the amnesty of 1835. " All the measures adopted by Bustamente since his re sumption of the Presidency, are iu direct opposition to every thing done by Santa Ana, while he held the reigns of govern ment. He has dismissed the old ministry, and appointed the following in their places :—Juan de Dios Carnedo, Mi nister of Foreign Affairs ; Luis G. Cuevas, Minister of the Interior; Xavier Echeverria, Minister of Finance. " Bustamente has appointed General Gaona commander of the castle of Uloa, but Santa Ana was taking measures to prevent his taking possession. His brother-in-law General Coro, was in command of i t , and had declared that Gaona should not take possession, and that:he had 2000 men under his command to oppose him. Santa Ana was endeavouring to make an insurrection against Bustamente, and the first step towards it would probably turn the castle of Ulon against him. " The United States schooner Boxer, Commodore Nichol son, belonging to the squadron in the Pacific Ocean, an chored in the port of Mazatland, on the 27th June, from a Cruise along the western coast of Mexico." The yellow fever was fearfully on the increase at Charleston, New Orleans, and Mobile. The Charles ton Courier of August 29, furnishes the following par ticulars respecting the progress of the epidemic at Augusta Au Gtr sTA, Aug. 26.—Our city is in a great state of ex citement and alarm. There were 14 deaths last week ; and there are new 120 cases of fever, a good many of whom can not live; I shall leave, this evening, for the sand hills, to ekep at night—and hope I shall escape, Some of our most respectable citizens have had it ; some have died. Every one that can leave is preparing to do so. " Another letter, dated 27th, referring to the disease, which the writer terms Yellow Fever," says : None have recoverecl who have been taken, and many die, in from 3 to 5 days. Softie of our oblegt residents, even of 20 years standing, have fallen victims to the fell destroyer. Young and old, strangers or residents—all are subject to this de vastating calamity. " Several are now at the point of death, and two of our most eminent physicians are at this moment in a very critical state. Several heads of families, male and female, have already fallen victims to the disease. You can form no con ception as to the alarm and excitement existing among.the community. Country people who have visited the city, un aware of the sickness, immediately flee from us in a panic. " Our city is likely to be deserted, should the disease con tinue, as the inhabitants are leaving by hundreds. The medical men here have not acknowledged it to be the Yellow Fever—but one Physician, from New Orleans, who, of course, has had considerable experience, unhesitatingly pronounces that it is so. The sickness is chiefly confined to the lower portion of the town." Several very severe gales of wind had been experi enced at the latter end of August, on the shores of the State of New York. The shipping, in the open havens, had been greatly damaged. Yesterday the election of solicitor to the Dock Trust took place. It was confidently expected by the liberal party that Mr. Snowball would have been elected; but on a scrutiny of the voters it appeared that Mr. Worthington obtained the appointmept. Yesterday was a day of triumph to the Radicals in the Dock Office. There was a majority of nine to six in favour of the erecting warehouses on the Dock Quays. We can scarcely persuade ourselves that a single Conservative can have voted for so destructive a measure. The vote of the committee yesterday will re quire confirmation at the monthly meeting of the coun cil to be held on Wednesday next. We shall watch the proceedings at the next council meeting, and shall be prepared to offer our opinions on any discussion which may ensue on the subject. POLICE INTELLIGENCE.-FRIDAY. AUDACIOUS THEFT. David Browick was charged with having in broad day snatched a watch from the fob, of the Rev. Mr. Cardwell, Of St, Paul's Church. The Rey. gentleman said, that he re sided at No. 74, Rodney-street, and that about four o'clock on Saturday afternoon, while he was walking from his house towards Leece-street, a man passed him. The man immediately turned round, and seized the chain of his (Mr. C.'s) watch, and drew it from the fob. The prisoner rdn to wards the Mount, and Mr. C. pursued him, calling " po lice," and " stop thief." The prisoner was stopped near the end of Mount-street, and the witness on going up to him, said, " Give me my watch, you • scoundrel." The prisoner handed him the watch. Constable Wm. Lancaster came up and took the prisoner into custody. Mr. Cardwell expres sed a wish that the prisoner might be dealt with in a sum mary manner; but Mr. Rushton finding by inquiry, that the prisoner was of a bad character, and considering, moreover, that the offence was most daring, said that he could not with a dne regard to the ends of justice concur in the recommen dation, and ordered the informations to be taken. The pri i soner was accordingly committed for trial. TUESDAY. 'SALTING AN OFFICER. An officer of police (N 0.64) complained against two brawny shouldered individuals, that, on Monday last, they had '• 'salted" him, as he expressed it, in Pownall-square market. It may - be that.the officer has newly entered the force; if so, he is what the Oxonians are in the habit of denominating a freshman ; and the pickle into which he got is the less extra ordinary. One of the prisoners, Henry Smith, is a brewer's drayman, and, as is usual with men in that capacity, a stal wart, broad-shouldered, well-fed individual. No class of the community hold the rule of analogy expressed by the learned lexicographer in higher repute than brewers. They seem to hold it as an axiom, that he " Who drives fat horses should himself be fat." Thomas White, the other prisoner, was also a man of large dimensions, and proportionate muscles and sinews. • The officer stated, that Smith was making a noise in Pow nall-square Market, and " blowing up" an old woman about the price of potatoes, when he interfered, and "ordered him to keep order." The brewer's drayman minded not his commands a rush, but continued to " blow up" till the officer told him, that if he did not hold his peace he would remove him. This the drayman regarded as an utter impossibility, and he treated it accordingly. The policeman did not feel inclined to have his authority set at nought. He therefore seized the drayman, and threatened to lock him up. Smith made what, in slang phraseology, is called " small beer" of his antagonist, and shook him off as if neither the law nor its retainers had any terror for him. Number Sixty-four was was not to be trifled with however, so he procured the assist ance of two of his brethren, and they took Mr. Smith into custody. Full soon they had to deal with another antagonist ; for, according to the account of Number Sixty-four, the pri soner White rushed forward, hot him (64) on the head, and attempted to ris-skew Mr.* Smith. They succeeded, how ever, in getting the lattCr to the lock-up, where Mr. White began to knock Violently at the door, and to behave other wise so disorderly, that it was deemed advisable to domicile him with the individual on whose behalf his chivaltic spirit had been excited. Mr. Smith, the drayman, said, he had committed no offence whatever. All he did was to go into the market and inquire from an old woman the price of potatoes. She told him threepence halfpenny a score. Upon this he bought a score, and the old woman poured them into his brat. When he was about to pay her, she told him that was not enough, and re fused to let him have them at the price named. He threw them back to her, and went away, but he afterwards returned in order to ascertain, if possible, what price she bad been selling her potatoes. He blowedher up, he said, for her un proper conduct, but he did not see what right the officer had to interfere. " I never 'salted the officer," said he, " bud the officer 'salted me moor till once, an' all 'cos I axed the price o' taties." The prisoner White had no excuse to offer. He seemed to think that he had acted very correctly in interfering when three officers were taking one man, and in compliance with the old English usage of fair play to the weaker side, which was in this case somewhat dubious, he had at once espoused the part of the drayman, to whom, it appeared, he was a total strangers. Both prisoners, it was stated, were under the in fluence of liquor. Henry Smith was fined 10s. and costs. Mr. Rushton ex horted White.to be more prudent in future, as he had ren dered himself liable to a fine of five pounds. He was fined ss. and costs. A FURIOUS FEMALE. A Welshwoman, who gave her name, as we understood, Milly Lloyds, was charged with having on Monday night created a disturbance in Church-street. Police-officers 80 and 298, appeared as the accusers. The former stated, that about half-an-hour past midnight he heard " a hideous cry of police, in Church-street." He went to the spot, when a female and a man who were there, pointed out to him a person in sailor's clothes, who had, with some other persons been abusing them. Officer 298 came up, and he (witness) attempted to take hold of the man who was pointed out. The moment he did so, the defendant (Mrs, Milly Lloyds, who had been out on bail) rushed at him with the fury of a tigress, and beat, and cuffed, and scratched, and tore away at his face and head at a fearful rate. 1 never saw such a woman in my life, said the officer. Itred to get away from her, but she followed me, and knocked my head about till I did not know where I was. As Mrs. Lloyds stood be fore the magistrates with an air of great meekness and re signation, and as she was moreover very obviously enciente, it was difficult to believe this statement. The truth was, moreover, made manifest, by the corroborative testimony of the other officer, and subsequently by her own admission. A hair-dresser, who had seen the first part of the transac tion previously to the arrival of the officers, was present in court, for the purpose of giving an account of that part of the transaction, into which, however, it was not deemed necessary to go. The defendant, with great volubility, but in sorely mangled English, defended herself at considerable length. She said, " We was takin' class of ale, an' that parper with the tother man was there, an' they set to work an make fun of my man, coss he ax for light of his pipe ; an' they set to quarrel, an' the woman hits my huspant, and my huspant ht she ; an' the parpar took his part coss she hit him. An' the tother man poke my huspant in the eye, an' then they shout out police man, and the policemans coomt up, an' knock her pick stick, an' the tother policemans coomt up an' knock wit her stick 'pon top of the pavin' stones too. An' the parper laughed, an' say tat's the man, an' they took holt of my huspant, coss he strike the woman tat strike him. So I say to her—you take sharshe for sharshe (charge for charge;) but they not to that, but 'sist 'pon take my huspant ; so then I interfere to telifer him from them. Then they tookt me to the cole hole, coss I strike them to telifer my huspant when he was put upon. They was all crocky, (groggy) an' they took me, an' let the tothers co." Mr. Rushton.—You foolish woman, your husband has brought this upon you. Why do you interfere in such cases ? Defendant.—l take my huspant's part always ; coss he kets put upon. Mr. Rushton.—You have behaved very ill ; but as you are not in a situation to bear any punishment, you are dis charged, and I hope you will behave better in future. CAUTION TO BUTCHERS AND OTHERS. Robert Denton, who occupies a stall in St. John's market, was charged by Maguire, one of the market constables, with having continued to keep a dog in the market, notwithstand ing repeated cautions that it was an offence against the by Laws to do so. The defendant was fined 10s. and costs. DIAMOND CUT DIAMOND. - Thomas Bradshaw, one of the inspectors of police, was charged by Maguire with having passed through St. John's market accompanied by his dog. Maguire stated, that he saw Inspector Bradshaw' passing through the market with his dog. He went to him and told him that he had no right to take his dog into the market, as it was an offence against the by-laws. Bradshaw turned round, and pointing to some other dogs, said, " See, there are other dogs in the market, why don't you turn them out ?" Inspector Bradshaw produced his dog in court. It was a very handsome small French lap-dog. He said he was pass ing through the market with his dog at his heels, unaware that there was any law against it, when Maguire came up to _him and told him that he was not allowed to take his dog into the market. As he saw several very large dogs there, he asked Maguire why he did not turn those out. Mr. Rushton said, as he (Inspector Bradshaw) was an officer, he ought to set a good example. The defendant was fined 10s. and costs, which was immediately paid. It has been suggested, that a notice should be placed in some conspicuous place about the market, stating that per sons are not allowed to take their dogs there, as many indi viduals violate the law through ignorance. ST. SAVIOUR'S CHURCH.—The well-wishers of our estab lished church, will be glad to perceive, from an advertisement in our columns of this day, that the good work of church building is fast progressing in Liverpool. We are ourselves happy to observe the walls of St. Saviour's Church fast rising, whereby Windsor and the surrounding neighbourhood will be blessed not only with the advantages which convenient church accommodation and a resident ministry confer, but that (ac cording to the plan upon which this work proceeds) they will have placed within their reach daily Sunday and infant schools, calculated to receive from the lanes, and alleys of that populous and increasing neighbourhood not less than 1000 of their little ones, thus amply providing for the spiritual necessities of both old and young of this portion of the com munity. For our own part, we have but one feeling—namely, of sincere good will for the prosperity of the undertaking ; we wish it all success, and when we consider the distinguished patronage of which the intended bazaar may boast, and the determined perseverance of the parties engaged in it, we con fidently entertain the most sanguine hopes of a satisfactory issue. Lady Sandon has, with her accustomed liberality, sent three boxes, containing the work of herself and several members of the Ryder family ; and the Earl of Harrowby has announced his name as a subscriber of £,lO. THE ANTARCTIC EXPE • The private letters from Rio Janeiro state that the impor tation of slaves for the month of April by 12 vessels was 4684, and for May, by 6 vessels, 2788. The shipments of manufactured goods from Rio to the coast of Africa are stated at the amount of 700,000 a-year, the far greater part of which was paid for in return cargoes ,of slaves. . It is at length arranged that the correspondence of non commissioned officers and privates of her Majesty's service shall be conveyed to and from the East Indies by the over land mails, via Falmouth, on the mere payment of one penny each ; the letters being single, and franked by the officer commanding. —United Service Gazette. The yield of the. new crop of wheat (says a well-informed correspondent) is beyond expectation, and in this neighbour hood exceeds that of last year by more than a quarter per acre. Although we have had heavy rains, it has not sus tained much injury beyond a little dampness ; and the barley, though not so fine in colour as last year, will be found to malt well.—Stamford Mercury. • Viscount Cantalupe having announced his intention of offering himself as a candidate for Lewes, in Sussex, at the next election, Mr. John Bassett has offered himself to the electors of Helston as his successor. Mr. Bassett says, that he is equally adverse to ultra-tory and radical principles. He will not support the ballot, considering it unnecessary for the freedom of election. He will support all just and rational reforms, and will ever support the Church of England against all its opponents.—Exeter Flying Post. GOVERNMENT CONTRACTS.—The government contract for provisions, consisting of 17.000 tierces pork and 9,000 tierces beef, was taken last week : 5,000 tierces pork, at about £6. 14s. 6. per tierce, by Lesly, Alexander, and Co.;12,000 tierces of pork, at about £6. 1 7s. 6 d. per tierce , by Allen and Anderson; it is supposed for Mr. John Russell of Limerick, and their other friends in Ireland. The beef by Messrs. Barnewall, Neibitt, Horton, and Phillips, at an average of about £6. 16s. per tierce. The prices at which the pork and beef have been taken are about £1 per tierce over the prices of last year. POPISH IDOLATRY.—The following instance , of what the Germans call " Mariolatry," may-serve as a comment upon Mr. O'Connell's declaration that France Is becoming again " Christianised," or rather Catholicised. The extract is from a sermon upon the Virgin Mary, by the Abbi: Senonde. and quoted by the Berlin Church Journal for July . , 'from the Paris Esperance :—" She (the Virgin) is the chef d'irurre Of, the creation.

' RAILWAY THROUGH CORNWALL.—Sir Hussey Vivian has written a letter to the land proprietors, merchants, &c. of Cornwall, strongly urging them to set about constructing a railroad through their country, in self-defence, as the only: means by which Falmouth can be continued a packet station. The right hon. baronet says :—" Of the great benefits de rived to a country from the establishment of a railroad, I lately had an opportunity of witnessing an instance in Belgium, where a case presents hitself more analogous to that of the people of Cornwall than is afforded by comparison with any of our railroads. In Belgium, as with us, the rate of travelling was very slow, the means of communication by no means good, and the persons travelling were but few. Since railroads have been constructed, the number of travellers has increased in a degree infinitely beyond the utmost calculation, and much exceeding the proportion even on our railroads ; and the commerce of the country, and the inhabitants, have been benefited accordingly. POPISH TOLERATION.—We find the following notice of the deputation to the Jews given by the Leghorn correspon dent of the Berlin Church newspaper (6th July) :--" The members of the deputation from the Scottish Church, who are on their way to Jerusalem to inquire into the state of the Jews, were here lately, and distributed some religious tracts concerning the melancholy moral and religious condition of this people, to whom they could not speak in their own lan guage. Upon account of this irregularity, they were imme diately.informed against to the police ; but fortunately they found in the judge a truly religious man, well acquainted with his Bible, who contented himself with depriving them of all tracts in the Italian language. This appeared to the Popish priests to be too mild a punishment, and they appealed to Florence ; and soon after an edict came, which condemned Drs. Keith and Black to perpetual banishment from Tus; cany ! They were already. embarked before this frightful Ordqr arrived!" 5 9 r_ 0 9,0 for Popery an 4 Toleration-!

TO THE EDITOR OF THE LIVERPOOL STANDARD. Siu,—Can you, or any of your readers, explain the princi ple which governs the parochial authorities, to whom the formation of the list of persons qualified to serve as jurors is committed. Having been for years called on to sacrifice time, which to me is valuable, in both sessional and assize courts, it is rather too bad to see individuals (who are qua lified in every respect, and some of whom, to my personal knowledge, having a double occupancy, and consequently a double qualification, if I may so speak) escaping the lynx eyed ken of the officers who draw out the lists, time after time, and some of whom would not only not object, but would be glad even to contribute their quota of attendance as jurors —for instance, I have two neighbours, right and left, both of whom occupy offices in the town, and dwelling-houses at Everton, who have never yet been put upon the list ; and though one of the two chuckles at having escaped for so many years, yet the other is covetous of what he considers the importance of serving his country. Now really, Mr. Editor, it is a pity that myself, and others like me, to-whom the summons is obnoxious, should be so repeatedly called on to perform duties that are absolutely coveted by others who are not allowed the opportunity in consequence of either the negligence of the constituted parties, or their partiality, in keeing their friends off the list. If it were impartially, that is fully, made out, I am persuaded that no individual need be called to serve as a juror more than once, or at all events twice, during a long life ; and I do trust that even-handed justice will be done in future.—Yours, &c., Everton, Sept. 20, 1839. JUSTITIA. EVERTON AND KIRKDALE FLORAL AND HOR- TICULTURAL SOCIETY. The third and last meeting of the present season of the society took place on Tuesday last, in a spacious marquee, erected in the gardens of the " Derby Arms Hotel," Kirk dule. The day being fine, a very numerous and respectable assemblage came to witness the exhibition. The marquee inside was tastefully and beautifully decorated with flowers and evergreens, at one end of which was placed a crown, surmounted on a standard, with the initials V. R. The whole being composed of laurels and dahlia blooms, of the richest and most showy colours, proved an object of great attrac tion, and reflected much credit on the parties who produced it. The dahlias exhibited were numerous and truly splendid, consisting of all the newest and most esteemed kinds.now in cultivation : they were arranged, with great taste, on each of the side benches. Mr. Skirving, with his usual kindness on such occasions, added much to the splendour of the show by sending a great number of dahlia blooms from his extensive collection at the Walton nurseries, independent of those from the different parties who entered for eompetition. He dike wise sent some very pretty specimens from his greenhousp, amongst which were six fine plants of that rare and beautiful tree, the " Araucaria excelsa," or Norfolk island pine, which, from its peculiar neatness of habit, was much admired. The plants and flowers from the gardens of J. Shaw Leigh, were also much admired. There were some excellent specimens of fruit and vegetables, presented by J. W. Gandy, Esq., of Walton, and others, consisting of all the various sees pe culiar to the season. There were not so many fine specimens of plants as have been produced on some former occasions ; but considering the almost unprecedented cold and wetness of the season, every thing that was exhibited proved much better than even the most sanguine horticulturist could have anticipated. An excellent band was in attendance during the afternoon, and performed many favourite airs, which ided materially to the pleasure of the treat.
