erbe Eiberpool Otanbarb._ TUESDAY MORNING, FEBRUARY 26, 1833. - Mr: MINH AND THE NOirrnEnN LIMITs.—It is an agreeable relief from our more more plodding editorial labours to turn to the occasional sallies of our sage rulers in the reformed House of Commons.—Leaving, -therefore, to our future numbers, the consideration of those measures for the discussion of which, a few days hence, we hear the "-dreadful note of . preparation" on . every side, ire have to thank .the hon. member for Middlesex for the timely relaxation of our risible mus- eles;afForded by the perusal of the little debate of Thurs- day last upon his question of lights. Now, of all things in the world, the last we should have expected from the hon. gent. would have - been an attempt to deprive us of lights; seeing how much need we have of all that can be obtained, to assist us in penetrating the dense mass of matter daily brought under our view in his own speeches, motions for papers, and other parliamentary proceedings.. Would our readers believe it, that Mr. Hume is not only contemplating the pulling down of half the light-houses round the coasts, to the great ad- vantage andconvenience of our shipping, but, from some motiVe which we are unable to divine, he also compasses the destruction of the laudable undertaking which is just carried into effect for ascertaining the fate of the brave Captain Ross and his companions in the polar re- gions. For within a week after the sailing of the in- dividuals engaged in that expedition from our port, up ininps the hon. gentleman in his place in parliament, and declares, that he will "extinguish the northern lights." Poor Captain Backl we wonder much what dire offence he has been guilty of towards the hon. member, to draw upon himself this declared act of vengeance ! We ap- peal to the hon. gent. to retire his threat, considering how important it is to that gallant officer and 'his party to have the benefit of those lights during the long nights of the regions to which they are going. Then, upon Mr. Harvey's motion : to publish officially the divisions in the House of Commons. What a treat! Why we would have given the best piece of money in our purse to have been able to join . in those hearty bursts 'of laughter which accompanied Sir Robert Peel's apology for the hon. member for Middleiex not supporting the motion. " Suppose," _said Sir Robert, that a member voted that black was white and that white was black upon some Russo-dutch loan question, and avow that he did so contrary to his conviction, in order to continue a par- ticular administration in office, it mightbe Convenient to such a member that his• constituents might know why lie so voted to prevent them from turning him out. God forbid that the constituent body. should judge of the general conduct of a representative on an individual vote." The bursts of laughter that accompanied this kind apologetic sentence of the Right Hon. Bart., would help any moderate man over the tedium of a long debate —aye, even that which accompanies a speech of the Hon. member for Middlesex himself. But to those who know the cut of the Hon. Gent's countenance, its expression (we avail ourselves, here, of the exception to the nega- tive rule) when the Right hon. bait. sat down, must have been a high treat. Perhaps since the celebrated descrip- tion by . the late lamented Statesman Mr. Canning of the " journey by the heavy Falmouth coach" to Join the Spanish Patriots, of a certain Noble Lord who now gives weight to the measures of His Majesty's Government among the no-pirates of Greece, nothing so nearly its parallel has occurred in the House of Commons. But, as our friend Joseph stammered out-on that occa- sion, that " speaking was one thing and voting another," so we say "preaching is one thing and practising another"—and, therefore, after enjoying ourselves with what we have related,.we will ask him to point out to us the consistency of his conduct in one other little matter; and we tell him that we have actually been bitten by his own fancy; and sat down to figures, and pounds, shillings and pence calculations. We have given ourselves the trouble of computing how much paper, time, and money are occupied or expended upon the motions of the Hon. Member ; and the result is, that, within the first fort- night of a reformed and economical Parliament, the printing of the Heads or Titles alone .of the Hon. Member's motions has occupied 11,909 : sheets of. super- fine foolscap; and, upon a moderate:computation, "the tottle of the whole," when the Returns are printed, will . . form a snug little library Of 2 306 ;folio volumes ; in pre- paring which about : fifty. clerks will be .occupied for nearly a month. Here we will leave the calculation ; begging the Hon . . Member to carry the -estimate on for the re- mainder of the Session, and to tell us how much less it will amount to than ': . the aggregate " pension's and sinecures to Naval and Military officers," his motion for the annihilation of which, to the honour of. the house, they refused by a large majority. Whilst we are on the, subject of consistency, we are a little disposed to be inconsistent with ourselves, by ask- ing the hon. member to' make one other • little metion— but ours is quite a peccadillo in its . way. If the hon. gent. has any disposition to render us a service, we would ask him to move for a Return of all the O'Connells that sit in the'House of Commons, specifying their several ages, respective degrees of relationship, and qualifica- tions; and farther skewing the various counties, cities, and boroughs, for which they severally 'sit . in' Parliament." Such a return might enable us to judge, in some degree Whether the modesty and consistency of the honourable and learned member for Dublin were equal to that of the Hon: Member for Middlesex. himself. Without 'going here into the question of' the Irish Disturbance bill, it is really amusing to hear the learned Gent.-'s bewailings aver the threatened fate, of his uprearimsS countrymen, who, be says, are to be brought before "five military ..... officers who have been two years in the service and have attained the age of 21." - -L-Nilhether it is quite as hard as - he says for "the -finest pisantry in the world," if not the most peaceable, to lie brought before live officers thus -described, wewl,ll not pretend to determine. But for us, the staid people of England, to be legislated for. by a maiddlepagedQ-entleinen, with his four sons.and nephews," • THE LIVERPOOL STANDARD. --"wbo may have been two years at School and have attained the age of 21"—is quite hardship enough on our side of the channel; for all which we have to thank His Majesty's present wise and patriotic ministry. So much for Mr. Dan O'Connell, his modesty and his consistency. THE MOVEMENT.—If we ask ourselves, what party in the state is most elated in its spirits, and most sanguine in its anticipations from the working of that which is whether in derision or in sincerity, the reformed Parliament, there can be but one answer which will sug gest itself, and that one points out as fulfilling the .con ditions of our question, the party of the movement. They see not, indeed, all the subserviency on the part of the government that they could wish. The ministers are, at least, gentlemen.; and, perhaps, their . personal disgust at the manners and demeanour of many of their radical opponents is now—such is the position in which we stand—to be contemplated, humanly speaking, as one of the best safeguards of the constitution. There are certain questions, not of very weighty or permanent im portance, which they maintain with decision against their rude assailants. But on all questions most intimately involving those great principles on which alone this great country can stand, we lament to say, we strive in vain to discover the evidences of that boldness and firm ness with which we were told ministers would defend the substance of our institutions, as contradistinguished from their abuses. Take, for instance, the Irish Church Reform Bill. It is obvious that it professes to aim at the abuses of the church. For the sake of argument, we grant _it, but on referring to the speech of that incomparable ploughman, Lord Althorp, we find that he is, indeed, sufficiently Ilkiy and explicit, where he explains what be means to surrender, but very timid and hesitating, and unintelli gible where he comes athwart that . part of the question which yespects the supposed intention of his Majesty's cabinet to maintain the essence of the church establish ment. to the uttermost, against the insidious and deadly foes who are now banded together to destroy it. Church rates are to be abolished,—the bishoprics are. to be abo ilshed. Grammatical and plain enough. But where shall we find the like categorical declarations as to the solemn obligation of the government to maintain the clergy in the use - of their property, and. to 'uphold the twelve bishoprics which yet remain ? Alas ! when we come to inquire what guarantees are to be given for the support of Protestantism through the medium of an es tablishment, we are then met only by the cold and indif ferent consolation, that the question, whether the church has a right to any part of its property, or whether Par liament may not, at its, pleasure, alienate the whole, is riot involved in this bill ? "Be satisfied," is the answer, "it will be time. enough for you' to inquire into our opi nion of our right,"when ?—" when we come, armed with resistless power, to enforce it." We trust the advocates of the church will.see, that it is a duty incumbent upon them, ere it be yet too late, to procure the solemn re cognition, by Parliament, of the entire inviolability of church property, i.e., its necessary appropriation to the purposes of the Protestant established church. We hear it surmised, that the increase in the value of the bishops' lands in Ireland is intended to be , clevoted to the maintenance of the Roman Catholic clergy in Ire land 1 May heaven mercifully avert such a catastrophe. LIVERPOOL ELECTIONS AND MR. BENETT'S MOTION. —The . audacious statements which have been put forward in the House of Commoo by .Mr.. Peter. Rigby Wason, relative to the Liverpool elections, have excited in this place a feeling of indignation which may in the end teach that gentleman to be somewhat. more wary of his words. We should have treated these statements with the silent contempt they deserve, were it not for the sake of those who are unacquainted with the real facts of the case, and who may, therefore, be led to suppose that there is some truth in what has been so unblushingly stated. That bri bery has been practised at the recent election in Liver pool, we most solemnly deny. Mr. Wason may - state what he chooses—he may state what he believes, or what he does not believe; but we take leave to tell him; and all who may have read the base and unfounded calum nies which have been circulated relative to Liverpool, that no election in the United Kingdom of Great Bri tain and Ireland has been conducted upon principles more pure, or free from bribery, than Lord Sandon's elections for this borough. If it were not so, why have not the libellers of our..town produced their proof?— Why have they not petitioned against Lord Sandon's re turn?—Why have they not held up one single instance in proof of their allegations ? It is because they cannot. Mr. 'Thornely, in his address to the Electors after the termination of the contest, said, " / am assured by my frlends that cases of gross bribery can be substantiated." We now call upon, Mr. Thornely, in then.arne of his in sulted fellow-townsmen—we call upon him in the narrxe of outraged truth. and honesty, to give up his authority for such a charge.' If hd failS to' do o--vve leave our frinds . to - draw their own touclusiens, No sooner was it known in Liverpool that the petition for the . distranchisement of the freemen had been pre sented; than a counter-petition Was set on foot, and we shall be much deceived if, in the course of two days, it does not receive more signatures than the disfranchise ment petition received in as many weeks. In the few hours that it has already lain for signature. in the. Exchange Newsroom, it has received above 450 signatures of the most respectable merchants of this town, whilst the dis-- franchiernent petition did not, We believe, receive .in the same place the signatures of more than .20 pc 30; and, we arc informed, that it was ultimately ridiculed out of the room. What will Mr. Wason say to this ? He mu-st agree with us, that at least nine-tenths of the merchants of this town are as decidedly against the disfranchise ment of the freemen, as they were in favour of the elec tiOn of Lord Sandon. We have looked at the debate which took place. on the presentation of the petition by Mr. Benett, and we ask, where was one of the representatives • of this . .borough ? Lord Sandon, supported by:Mr. r,GiadsiOne,• . boldly and faithfully . 'defended the freetnen . from the calumnies.which were cast upon them, whilst not one word was spoken by Mr. Ewart. We trust the freemen will bear this in mind. WE have great satisfaction in being enabled to state, that the total number of signatures attached to the peti tion against the disfranchisement of the burgesses, up to a late hour last night, amounted to nearly 4,000 names. We call upon every friend to honesty and fair dealing, upon every well-wisher to the best interests of Liverpool, to lose no time in signing this petition, as the period is short, and it must necessarily be sent up to London this evening. CHANCERY OF LANCASHIRE.—The Vice-Chancellor of the Duchy will hold a court at Lancaster on the 22d of March. THE DisFRANCHISEMEMT PETITIONS.- Should a Disfran chising Bill pass the Commons, it will be stopped in the Lords, Who will, pursuant to the rules of the house, examine witnesses on oath in support of such bill. The chance of the Freemen being ultimately Disfranchised is, therefore, we are sorry to say, ex tremely doubtful. Albion, Monday, 25th February, 1&33. [Query—Have the advocates of disfranchisement no evidence which they, dare tender upon oath ? Or, are they afraid of not being believed upon oath ?] THE DISTRESSED . CLERGY OF IRELAND.—We have the pleasure to acknowledge the receipt of the following liberal donations, in addition to those advertised before : Received at the Standard Office. Wm. Potter, Esq. £lo 0 0 A. Acheson Dobbs, Esq. We also acknowledge the undermentioned received from the Rev. Wm. Dalton :— Mr. Ward's Fainily Miss Fielden Mr. Reston 1 1 0 Poor Man Mr. Simpson Miss Simpson 1 0 0 Mr. Green Mrs. Wilson Mr. and Mrs. W. Benson A Mite 0 10 0 Mrs. Lee w Mr. W.

An extensive .piece of land, situate in Rake-lane, a few hundred yards beyond the Necropolis, on the West Derby road, has been selected, as the site of the gardens, and it would have been difficult, if not impossible, to find a place more admirably suited to the purpose. Nature seems to have done considerably more than fialf the business, and left to art only the task of completing it to the best advantage. Some of our readers may know it, under the name of Plumpton's Hol ' low,—a place wuere multitudes of the lower orders have been accustomed to resort for the enjoyment of prize fights, and similar amusements. It is about 12 acres in extent, of which considerably more than half consisis of a sort of irregular natural amphitheatre, from 30 to 40 feet below the level of the surrounding fields; the capabilities of which have been, or will be turned to the best advantage, under . the superintendence of Mr. Shepherd of the Botanic Garden, who is laying out the grounds, and Messrs. Stuart and Foster, to whom the architec tural part of the undertaking has been committed. The grand menagerie will be placed in the centre of the amphitheatre, at the south eastern extremity. It will consist of a splendid circular building, combining beauty of architectural appear ance, ample accommodations for the animals themselves, and every facility for seeing them to the best advantage. At the other extremity of the laud, a capacious, stable for the stupendous elephant, which is one of the largest, finest, and most sagacious ever seen in this country, is already nearly com pleted; lie will also be furnished with a paddock and pond to bathe in,—an indulgence to which this noble animal is said to be extremely . partial when in a state of nature. Separate houses, [mitt in the most tasteful style, for zebras, monkeys, eagles, ostriches, beavers, otters, and other animals: ponds for pelicans, and other aquatic birds and beasts ; a house for re freshments, and a pavilion for the musicians, will be inter spersed throughout the grounds, and the entrance from•Rake lane will be adorned by two handsome circular lodges. The grounds will be intersected by walks 12 feet wide, and the whole will be surrounded by a handsome. fence. The gardens will be also embellished with trees, shrubs, and plants, of every description suitable to the soil and situation. Several of these have already been transplanted from the extensive nursery grounds of Mr. Stirving, at Walton. The works are in a state of considerable forwardness, and the gardens will probably be opened about the end of May, or the beginning of June, under the patronage of Lord Stanley. STREET ROBBERY.—Peter Johnson was yesterday committed for trial on a charge of. robbing George Gilt of his watch on the highway. The prosecutor, who lives at Earl and Carter's oil mill, on the North Shore, went on Saturday night to see a friend, with whom he staid very late. Between four and five o'clock on Sunday morning, on his way home, he was met in Pool-lane by the prisoner, who asked him what o'clock it was, and on his taking out his watch to look at the time, the prisoner seized hold of - the watch chain and attempted to get it from him. He asked the prisoner it' he intended to rob him, and the latter said he did not, and immediately let go the chain. But no sooner had the prosecutor replaced the watch in his fob, than the prisoner made a snatch at the chain, drew out the watch, and ran off with it down Cable-street. The prosecutor pursued him, -call'ng out " watch'!" and a watchman named heady, being, as his name would imply, ou the alert, which watchmen are not at all times, and seeing the parties runuing,joined in the chase, overtook the prisoner in Paradise-street, and convev . ed him to Bridewell. He then returned, and tracing the route wl.ileh the prisoner had taken iu his flight, found the watch (identified by the prosecutor) in Cable-street. The prisoner denied that he ever saw the watch. DARING THlEF.—Robert Fitzgibbons was committed for trial. for the impudent theft hereunder described. Elizabeth Parry, servant in the family of Mr. Wieer, in Falkner-street, was making . some purchases at the shop of Mr. Jackson, a confec tioner, in Berry -street, and while, tying up the things, laid her purse containing four half-crowns, a shilling, and a pair of ear rings, on the counter. The prisoner entered the shop and asked the price of an orange, and being answered by . Miss Jackson, went out without buying any thing, but returning in about a minute afterwards, he snatched up the purse and ran off with it. An alarm was immediately made, and a gentleman passing at the time stopped b the prisoner in Seel-street, witlithe purse in his possession. FIRES AND FIRE POLICE.—[" They manage these things better in"—Manchester, it 'seems, according to the following statement.] —An alarming "fire broke out about nine o'clock on Wednesday night, in the workshop of Mr. Wood, piano forte manufacturer, next door to the Star Inn, Deansgate. Mr. Rose was on the spot in a few minutes after the alarm was given,. but at that time the room, Which is in the upper story of the house, appeared to be filled with one solid mass of flame, from the quantity of shavings and dry wood which it contained, and the root' had caught fire. A messenger was immediately despatched to the police-yard for a supply of water, which speedily arrived, and two engines were got to work with so much expedition, that the roof was saved and the fire extin guished without spreading further than the room in which it originated. A gentleman, who saw the fire which destroyed so much property in the Haymarket, Liverpool, onTuesday night, and who happened to be at the Star Inn, when that at Mr. Wood's broke out, was so much alarmed for the safety of the inn, that he advised his fellow-travellers to shift their quarters as Speedily as possible, as the appearance of the fire was ten fold more alarming 'than the Liverpool one, when it was first discovered. He afterwards declared it to be his opinion, that had a fire Occurred in Liverpool under the same circumstances, and in a' situation so difficult of accesq, the inn. must have been destroyed, as well as the buildings on the other side of Mr. Wood's. We mention this merely to show how much bet ter these things are managed where the whole of the fire-police is under, the control of one acknoWledged head, than where, as iu Liverpool, there is no organised system•of operations, each engine belonging to a separate company, and working as its conductors may think proper, without regard. to what the others may be about. Out neighbours in Liverpool might take a hint from the Manchester establishment. 'lhe •property destroyed by the fire .at. Mr. Wood's consisted chiefly of piano-fortes in the course of manufacture, but considerable injury was done to the furniture, in consequence of the.quantity of. water it was found necessary to use.
