The sloop Betsey and Martha was overthrown by its violence, and rank close to the'quay, but hai since been recoverd with out having sustained any material damage. On Wednesday morning trio rind was again very high , and blew a heavy gale. Several boats were out opposite Criccieth engaged in fishing for herrings. One of them was blown to Harlech-beach, two succeeded in getting into this port, and the remainder being nearer the shore got safe into Criccieth. Although they were in a very perilous situation no lives were lost. The ferry-boat was also in great dancer for a considerable period, ha v in g some females on b oar d, an d several sheep; but through the exertions of another boat it got safe into port, but some of sheep were unavoidably drowned. No other loss except the above has re sulted from the gale at this port.—Carmarthen Journal. REMARKAULE PRESERVATION.—The Emma , of Harwich, George Cant, master, employed in conveying the Post-office mails, - on her outward voyage to Gottenburgh, fell in, off the Dodder Bank, with a large Finland vessel, laden with timber, for London, bottom upwards, upon which was a man, who had just made his way thr oug h th e bottom of the vessel. It appears that the vessel suddenly upset in a gale of wind, and seven of the crew in the forepart were drowned; four others in the cabin were driven through a small hatchway in the floor. Here, without food, and in darkness, they remained for four days and nights. Providentially they found an old spike nail and a bal last stone: these proved to be the means of their deliverance; fur with great presence of mind and ingenuity they sharpened the nail, and with this mirerable, yet in their circumstances, invaluable tool, " hoping almost against hope," they began to pick away the planks and timber of the vessel's bottom over head, and, after toiling day and night, they succeeded in making an outlet through a timber fourteen feet, and twelve inches, mid the plank three and a half inches thick, which, with a stick and a slip torn from a shirt, they made their feeble signal of distress. At length, by perseverance, the opening was made large enouglk to admit of the whole of their number ,getting through, vetita they had not long effected before they were alt fortunately rescued by the Emma. LOSS OF THE CUPID. (From the Enex Standard.) We last week noticed the Lou of this tine vessel, the property of Win. Hawkins, Esq., of Colchester. The following is a letter from the captain, giving the details of the event : " Mr. Hawkins, - _ _ "Sir,—lt is with heartfelt sorrow I have to inform you of the unfortunate circumstance of the loss of the Cupid. After a fine and pleasant passage of twenty-four days we arrived on the bank of Newfoundland, where we met with a heavy gale of v, led, and the ship began to get leaky, so much so that we were obliged to keep one pump constantly going; and on the 30th of August we met with another gale, which made her so leaky, we were obliged to keep both pumps going, night and day, but with all our e.tertions, I am sorry to say, she gained so fast upon U 3, that after - two days and nights constantly pumping, the water had got over the top of the ballast, which wade the ship to la bour so heavily as to become unmanageable. We still conti nued at the pumps, hoping the gale might abate, but found all to no purpose. As we found she was fast sinking, we were obliged to take to the long boat, and with great difficulty gut clear of the ship, which was on the 2d of September, about nine o'clock in the morning, though scarcely with any hopes of saving our lives, as we expected every sea that came must sink the boat, but, thank God, she lived till next day, when for tunately we were picked up by Captain Chicken of the brig Elvira, of Newcastle, bound to Quebec, who received us with the greatest kindness. '• We saved nothing but the loag beat, which, if I can get a hood price for I fate rrrt selling; irnot, to leave her in charge of Mr. Pemberton till the barque comes out. I have written this letter, and intend to send it by the first vessel I can get it on hoard- "I remain ; dear sir, your humble servant, "FREDERICK PRICE. " island of Bic, Sept. 18th, 1833."

THE ASSESSED TAXES WAIL SEIZURE BP GOODS FOR ASSESSED TAXES, SUBSEQUENT RE COVERY OF TIIEII lII' THE MOB, AND DESTitUCTION OF THE VAN. —On Friday morning, about half-past nine o'clock, a pan was seen to drive up to the door of the Mechanics' Institution, Circus-street, New-road, of whieli a Mr. Savage is the proprietor. It soon became known that the persons who came with the Ve hicle were a sheriff's officer named Kemp, and his men, who, in execution of an Exchequer writ, were about to make a seizure on the premises for assessed taxes, amounting to £35 2s. 9cl. The officer and his party having entered the house without op position, they conveyed away a sofa, tables, chairs, and other household furniture, and they deposited them safely in the van which they had brought with them for the purpose. A great crowd of people soon assembled, who gave vent to their feelings of indignation at the proceeding adopted. The van, however, drove off with the goods amidst the deafening hisses and shouts of the crowd. On arriving at the corner of Baker-street, the crowd being considerably augmented, a woman, who appeared to possess the most masculine courage, boldly stepped out from the throng, and, seizing the horses' heads, turned the van towards tile Institution. The crowd, animated by her example, now took courage, and, surroundiug the van, toolahe horse out, and drew it in triumph hack to M r. Savage's, shouting as they went along, "No assessed taxes." The sheriff and his men - having made their escape, the mob proCeeded, without molestation, to unpack the goods, which they deposited safely again in Mr. Savage's house. At this period the populace next turned their attention to the empty van, and a cry w as i ns t an tly se t up, " Break it to pieces." The work of demolition soon commenced, and in a short space of time the vehicle was broken to pieces, with ham ' mers and sticks, is spite of the efforts of the police to prevent it. About the same time a seizure was made at the house. of Mr. Brown, picture-dealer, &c., No. 128, Crawford-street, (who is a member of the institution,) for assessed taxes, amounting to .£l2 12s. Sd. , when goods to zlonble that amount were carried away by the sheriff's officer and his subordinates, who refused to give any inventory of what they had taken, or to state where they intended to deposit theni. At this place the broker, Mr. Atkins, of No. 133, St: John-street, was sainted with execrations by some hundreds of persons who had assembled, on the object of the visit being made known. The property seized was thrust with all possible expedition into the van, without any regard whatever being paid. to the safe conveyance of the paintings, some of which were very choice and valuable, and which, no doubt, must have sustained considerable injury in the removal. At two o'clock a meeting was held in the large room at Mr. Savage's, upon the . subject of the above seizure, and the place was greatly crowded. Some strong comments were made on the conduct of the present ministry, and the speakers concluded by exhorting their hearers to act peaceably, but firmly, and their object would be accomplished. Later in the afteruocia a strong detachment of the police, under the direction of Mr. Mayne, one of the police 'commissioners, assembled at the neighbouring station-house ; wher e a l so Mr. Sheri ff Harmer and his deputy attended, 'awl had an interview with Mr. Savage, who (as we are inftirrneel) promised that the _goods seized, mind which had been rescued by the mob, should be forthwith restored to the sheriffs' officers. MR. SAVORY'S CASE. Towards the close of this trial an expos', of the ideas of legal men on the system of examining prisoners took place. Mr. Alley, (the counsel for the prisoner,) in his reply, stated that had air. Savary at his second examination at the Mansion-house answered the questions put to Lim by the Lord Mayor at the first, and tendered the sam.e evidence then which he had reserved for his trial, the Goldsmiths' Company would never have thought of carrying the investi ga tion fu r ther. Mr. Serjeant Andrews here said, advised bins not to answer any question." To be sure not; it was not the practice; it interfered with the usual course of proceeniug in such cases ; it was better to reserve any thing for another place, &c. In summing up, Mr. Baron Vaughan made two or three observations which are worth re membering, on account of their oddity. His lordship first stated that there was not a shadow of proof of anything like guilty knowledge on the part of M. Savory 3 and that he (Mi. Sa vory) was perfectly right in not answering questions, which the magistrate had no ri g ht to put, but that the prosecution was most praiseworthy. Strange, passing strange, that it should be most praiseworthy to prosecute a man against whose there was not a shadow of guilt. It may he doubted whether Mr. Savory agrees with the learned judge, and whether he would not have ireferred the short cut alluded to by Mr. Alley, by stopping the case by a candid avowal at the Mansion-house. 1, hat was the coase q.ience of his following th e sugg estion of his learned counse l ? Why this—that he was six weeks under an imputation, from which he could at once have purged himself ; he was seven hours under trial at the Old Bailey, nothing very enviable in that, and might have saved at least £7OO. But then he would not have saved it according to the good old rules ; it would have been a short, untechnical, informal mode. Mr. Serjeant Andrews, we presume, goes the circuit in a post-chaise : of course lie goes— not, as Mr. Dillon would say, " not at that rapid rate which rather astonishes than gratifies," but at that slow pace indicative of real greatness. The learned serjeant must look with con tempt on the level of a modern road, and instead of " putting himself into the mail," looks back with a sigh to the times when the Edinburgh coach hoped to reach its destination, " God willing, this day three weeks." Really one would think that Mr. Serjeant Andrews looks on law much in the same light that a sportsman does—namely, for fear of "choppin" the game, allowing it to have a goo d start., that there might' be snore diffi culty, and consequently fun, in catching it.—Correspondent of the Morning Herald. WEST RIDING SESSIONS, YORKSHIRE. INTIMIDATION BY TURN-OUT WoRR szEN.—This was an appeal by David Foster, Joseph Sharp, and David Mitchell, against a conviction by the Wakefield magistrates, for annoying and in timidating the workmen of Mr. Webster, cloth manufacturer, of Morley. Mr. Maude said, before his learned friend opened his case, he would state a preliminary objection to the conviction, which might save the time of the Court. He contended that the conviction was void, because one of the convicting magis trates, Mr. Joseph Holdsworth, was of the same trade or busi ness as the employer of the persons convicted, contrary to the provisions of the act, which renders persons of the same busi ness incompetent to sit as justices upon such cases. Mr. Holds worth-was a dyer of woollen cloths, which, Mr. Maude contended, was a branch of the manufacture of woollen cloth. The Chair man here intimated, that he thought the person who gave a colour to the fabric as much engaged in the manufacture of it as the person who gave it its texture. Mr. Dundas and Mr. Baines argued that, if every person who was collaterally con nected with the manufacture was to be disqualified from sitting as a magistrate, in the execution of the act, it might be difficult to find persons sufficiently disengaged to carry the act into effect. Vor instance,—the machine-maker, who prepared the means for the manufacture of the cloth, and the carrier who cenYeyed it when manufactured, might be considered as coming within the disqualifying clause: A plain man would never con sider a dyer and a manufacturer to be of the same trade or manufacture. They employed different classes of workmen, differently educated, having different feelings and interests; and it was evident that the legislature did not intend this dis qualification to extend so widely as was contended by the other aide, because the words—"that particular branch off` manufac ture" were introduced, and for the very purpose of preventing the latitude of construction which had been contended for. The Chairman repeated his conviction that dyeing was an essential part of the manufacture of woollen cloth. After conferring with his brother magistrates, he said, the bench was of opinion that the objection was well fonnded,"and that the conviction was void.—Conviction tiischcirged. The counsel for the prosecutiOia said, the same objection would apply to two other convictions, which were also discharged, and all the appellants were set at liberty. DANIEL MARSDEN V. A CONVICTION BY TWO MAGISTRATES, FOR INTIMIDATION, &V.—This was a conviction founded on the lith George IV. cap. 96, sec. 3. The evidence against the de fendant was this. The appellant called upon Mr. Abraham Greaves, coal-master, of Dewsbury, at the Stafford Arms, Wake field, on the 23d July, and delivered to him an unsealed letter, of a hich the following is a copy :—" Abm. Greaves,—" We, as coal-miners, are informed that you have discharged' a few of your men, and if von do not employ the same men ;lain in a fortnight, we shall - be under the necessity of selling oft all your men.—By order of the committee of coal mixers, county of Yorkshire, Wakefield." Mr. Abraham Greaves stated that his men have all turned out, and have not yet returned to their work. When the appellant gave him the letter, he ask e d w h a t it was about ? The appellant replied that the letter would speak kr itself. Mr. Greenwood, who addressed the bench for the appellant, suggested that the appellant might be ignorant of the purport of the letter, in which case he would be entitled to have the conviction quashed. The chairman said the court unani mously confirms:! the conviction ; and the appellant was taken into custody, and committed to Wakefield houee of Correction for two month:. CONVERSATION BETWEEN A WEATHEP.-GLASS AND A WEATHER-COCK. " We will speak, whether or no."- -OLD PLAY. "Good morning (said the Weather-glass to the Weather cook);—you don't look well this morning." "No wonder (said the Weather-cock), for I've had nothing but wind in my teeth all night; and I don't see, Mr. Weathei -Iz:us, that yoti have much reason to boast, for you look rather down this morning." "Do I ? (said the Weather-glass.) At all events I'm up to you—up to you, indeed, now I look at myself, I'm up to sixty. You give yourself too many airs, Mr. Weather-cock. 'Tis true you are at the top of this establishment, of which you are not a Little rune." " Little mne_,Ll sa id. the Weather-enek4. ; no, int. 1.041, -1-41•04 see a larger or handsomer one than myself for miles round, ex cept the church, and as to my being the top of this establish ment, you've always had the rains of the family in your own hands, and I should hare very little objection to change places with you." "Change places! (said the Weather-glass,) I never knew you keep one for a minute together!" "That's my miifortuue (says the Weather-cock); but yes terday evening I engaged myself to sweet Mi ss Zeplivr, and went south about to meet her. - I had not been with her fur more than five minutes, when old Boreas mace me rudely turn my hack towards her, and look at him all night, while he amused himself with Spitting hail and sleet in my face. If I'm to be thus disturbed in my pleasure, I'll turn rusty about it, and then I'll stick where I please." " Ah ! (said the Weather-glass), we have all our complaints —you know my existence depends on my telling the truth : now I marked much rain yesterday as plain as could be, but my young mistress being promised a holiday if it were fine, screwed. me up to set fair, so they set out,' and the wet set in, and I h a d nearly been discharged - for this; but on my master carefully examining me, he found out the trick, which put him in a thund,iing passion, and I fell clown to stormy." " Ah, well (said the Weather-cock,) I was a little alarmed. when I was first put up here—for when I was fixed and duly regu lated by the compass (which, by-the-by, I consider must be rather a sharp instrument, for 'I heard it had a needle and thirty4wo points,) I was declared by all present to stand COM pietciy square, when, to my dismay, in ten minutes afterwards the wind blew me completely round; but since we've been talk ing, Mr. Weather-glass, I perceive by your face you're not many degrees from being very dry; what say you to a glass of something?" " With all my heart, (said the Weather-glass,) if you'll stand it." " I stand it (said the Weather-cock,) did you ever know me to stand to any thing?" Hero he turned halt-round and looked the other way. " Just like you, you shabby rascal (says the Weather-glass,) there's no trusting you." " Save your abuse (said the Weather-cock, speaking with his head turned away) though I am used to blows, they must he given in a round-about manner; and, of all blows, the least I care about is a blow up." VESSEL LOST.—On Sunday sc'nnight, the brig Andrew and Margaret, Of Maryport, James Quay, master, last from Bide ford or Appledore, where she had been repairing, and bound to Carditnn ballast, was driven on shore on Mar gam sands, near Aberavon bar, and by the return of the next tide she became a complete wreck. The captain swain ashore soon after the ves sel struck, and by the exertions of some-of the persons residing on that part of the coast, who were enabled to throw a lead-line on board, the remainder of the crew were happily saved. TUESDAY MORNING, OCTOBER 29, 1833. All accounts agree that civil war is raging and ex tending in Spain. Nearly the whole of the northern provinces are up in arms for Don CARLOS, and we ihspect that the infant QUEEN has scarcely a chance. We have no advices ,, from Lisbon of a later date than those which appeared in our last. It is said, however, in well-informed quarters, that the sortie of Don PEDRO . arose from necessity, and in order to avoid a sanguinary conflict in the streets of Lisbon, where he feared the peo ple would not slimi themselves very favourable to his cause. Be this as it may, the war is not yet .ended. Marshall BOURMONT it is said is still with Don MIGUEL, a statement we can hardly credit. By the Richard Walker, Captain Hill, from Bombay, we have letters from that presidency to the 17th June. They do not bring any political intelligence of import= ante, but furnish us with mercantile accounts to the date of the Richard Walker's sailing. There is no improve ment in the demand for European produce and manufa2- tures. In some of the articles for export from thence further advances in price had taken place. The accounts, in speaking of Cotton, are thus expressed, dated Bth June:— Carron.—The exports of this staple to China are about the same in extent as last year, though considerably beyond it to Great Britain, the particulars of which we will give in a con trabted statement in our next. The very high price to which Cotton has attained, say 140 rupees per candy for Juinboosecr, and 120 rupees for Mangarole, seems evidently to be attributa ble to a deficient supply during the season, caused, most pro bably, however, more from contrary winds not allowing it to reach the presidency than to any actual falling off in the pro duction of the season. °NUM PASS.—The season being so near at a close, no more Passes are expected to be applied for. The whole number taken out to this date, both in Malwa. and Dumaun, is 7996 chests, the same as reported in our last, 6600 of which have arrived, and 4593 have been exported to the eastward. The remainder yet to arrive, 1400 chests, has been detained some time in Jumbooseer, but is now on its way to BoMbay, over land, via Surat. ()PIUS' DUBUIIN.—The shipments at this place have just been closed without leaving, as we are informed, a single chest on hand. The whole exports of the season amount to 2942 chests of different qualities, as follows: Don Manuel Aurelia St. Anna AV', Paula '397 Carao. 4.Ara Esperance Total Of the above quantity 900 chests may be considered to belong to the first sort, 1000 chests to the second soft, and 1050 as very inferior. The freight at Dutnaun has rated from seven to eight dollars per chest throughout the season, from which one dollar was returned to the bro ker. The opium cleared out for Lintin paid duties at Dumaun equal to about 5* per cent. on the valuation— say valuation of Ist sort 14.782 per Chest Duties--Rs. 41.0.3 2d do. 582 per Ditto Ditto 31.0.1 3(1 do. 311 per Ditto Ditto per pecul chest of 133 A pounds. But if cleared out for Macao, the duties would be, Ist sort Rs 19.3.2 2d do. 14.3.2 3d do. per pecul chest, exclusive of 10:1 dollars per chest Macao. The export of Cotton for the v. eek ending Sdi June was— CAN TIIES. To London To Liverpool 954. To China 12,577 Total 14,013 Candies of 7811bs, The export of Cotton for the week ending the 15th June was—to China, 1991 candies. On this commodity the observations of the 15th are very short, merely announcing that it con: limed to rise, and that 145 rupees per candy was demanded for Jum booseer and Surat. The statement at foot is then given of the quantity exported from the Ist January to the 15th June of the present year, as well as for the shipments of Opium. Opium.—The wreck of ilia ship Lord Amhorst in the gale at Calcutta, said to have a considnabis quantity of Opium on THE LIVERPOOL STANDARD. To this must be ac included in this retu [tied the ca: 48,50'2 .rgo of the Bumbay, 13th June, 1833.

Since then a bat tle has been fought in London between the people and the KING's forces, the former led on by a person of the gentle sex, and the latter commanded by the sheriff's officers, in the absence. of Lord GREY and the rest of his MAJESTY'S generals. We lament to state that the royal troops were signally defeated, the officers put to flight, their baggage. waggon destroyed, and all their munitions and implements of legal warfare captured. This, not to speak it profanely, is the blessed state of England in the second year of the reform bill, in the era of penny magazines, Whig ascendancy, political unions, beggarly economy, and an empty exchequer. We beg pardon —beggarly economy is only applied generally to the useful branches of the public service—as respects jobs, travelling commissions, and all sorts of patronage and quackery, the public money is expended, not only profusely, but profligately. However, this kind of quasi rebellion prevails in England at the present moment. The law is violated with impunity ; brute force triumphs over acts of parliament, and the KING'S government, weak and imbecile, fettered by their own declarations, and bound by the acts and principles of their friends, do not appear to pessess any authority whatever. In short, the country seems to be\in the most helpless and unpro tio:tr-d stata,. or rather to be entirely at the mercy of the rabble. It is asserted that the trumpery affair in Manchester was a mere pot-house riot, in which a few hundred " poor rogues, who never paid a direct tax in their lives," under the influence of gin and rain committed a theft, and paraded tke stolen property in the streets. Be it so ; but it will be recollected that the revolution in Belgium was begun by a score or two of playhouse blackguards, the scum of Brussels, who, worthless as they were, succeeded in placing that very respectable pensioner, LEOPOLD, on the throne. Many revolu tions have had their origin in a less serious row than that at Manchester at which the Whigs sneer. They may depend upon it that these "poor rogues," recently their most efficient agents, but whom they now affect to treat with contempt, are as near as possible being the masters once more of the present administration. It is also said, by another class of people, that the au thorities of "Manchester were remiss in not suppressing the riot and preventing the procession. We are of a different opinion. So long as the government at head quarters evince no inclination to exert their authority— so long as they studiously avoid coming in hostile con tact with these unionists—so long as Sir WILLIAM HORNE is asleep, and Sir JOUN CAMPBELL, the Solicitor Gene ral, is declaiming against tithes, evincing not only bad taste but reprehensible ignorance, it would be injudi cious, if not dangerous, in the provincial authorities to interfere. We all remember the orders sent to the un fortunate Col. BRERETON, and the fate of Bristol. Had the magistrates of that devoted city taken any bold and ef fective measures for the suppression of the riots, and bad blood been shed, as in all probability it would, who would have guaranteed the heads of any of these magistrates ? Had they. done their duty, the least pu nishment they would have been subjected to would have been, perhaps, the suspension or deprivation of their charter. That untoward event, we need not say, has had the effect of paralysing the whole magistracy of the kingdom. Since that affair every constituted authority has been placed in a dilemma, fearful of incurring any responsibility, awl afraid to perform what had hitherto been considered his duty. In Manchester, we have no doubt that such feelings, and very naturally, have bad their influence, and that laxity was the result of incerti tude and want of confidence in the ministry. Let the KING'S government do their duty in London—let them set the example of enforcing the law, of punishing the contumacious, of suppressing riot, insubordination, and incipient rebellion, and no fears need be entertained that the provincial authorities will be remiss in the dis charge of their official duties. It is, however, amusing enough to see the change which this window light rebellion' has wrought in the champions of the Whig press. They have all of a sud den become converts to Conservative principles. Like old but awakened sinners in a state of senility, they are fastidious to excess. Like the her oines of the Holy Fair, immortalized by BURNS, they have assumed a rigid, af fected, and repulsive form. They look like Jews who, for the sake of lucre, have conformed to the faith of Christianity. For be it known to all men that the Morning Chronicle, and the Globe, the Sun, and the Times, have intruded upon our domain as missionaries or field-preachers in the cause of Toryism. The brick-bat and the bludgeon have been laid aside, and they have clashed to the ground the stocks and stones which they formerly idolized. The Morning Chronicle has always been a respectable paper, consistency through a long term of years having been its ornament and its pride ; its present course may therefore be imputed to a change in its management ; but the Times—the venal and un principled Times—the disgrace of the press—the tnost odious object in political literature—the representative of all that is vile and corrupt—when the conductors of this paper espouse our principles; we may rest assured that public opinion has either undergone a great change, or that a powerful appeal in the shape of some filthy bribe, has induced them to forsake their former course of pollution and depravity. As to the Globe, it is a not ori ous hireling, abject and shackled, devoted to the Whigs under circumstances and bonds which Mr. EDWARD EL LICE could, if he felt disposed, explain. The Sun, except as the mere carrier of debates in the season, is un worthy of any notice. Not being distinguished by any talent or influence whatever, it can neither reflect good nor evil upon any ministry. But here we have them, converts to our cause, advo cating active resistance against passive resistance, and firing chain and grape shot upon the very rabble whom they have not only for many years caressed, but whom they have instigated to every act of folly, fraud, and in subordination. We confess, with perfect sincerity, that we feel ashamed of our fellow advocates. Charity, in deed, induces us to give them a fair trial ; but we cannot help considering them as suspicious probationers in the mission of Toryism. They have objects to gain to which we do not aspire, solely because we believe that the ob ject is sordid, the means disgraceful. Among the coun try papers similar versatility in favour of Tory princi ples is observable; but we should be doing injustice were we to say that the Liverpool Times, as much conserva• tire as any of them, although addicted to Whig prin ciples, is precisely of their vein. We have observed this paper for some time, and, although published on one of the days of the STANDARD, we cannot refuse saying that, notwithstanding its party predilections, it is one of the best conducted of our local journals. But these extraordinary phenomena, as regards the public press, indicating as they do the embarrassed situ.• ation of the ministry, and their anxiety to adopt opinions which they have hitherto derided, and seek the aid of a party whom they have underrated and slandered—not withstanding these strange symptoms, we must confess that they have their source in necessity, and show the perilous position of the country. How bitterly, if any love of country or any sense of patriotism remains, must Lord GREY regret the countenance he and his colleagues gave to these revolutionary combinations ? He is an old man, a martyr to disappointments—proud, irascible, un compromising—the haughtiest of our nobles—the vainest of our patriots—the sternest Whig of his order—indo lent, but we believe honest—sunk into the wane of life, beset by flatterers, and pestered-by family importunities— with one foot in the grave, and - his mind saddened by a concatenation of mysterious incidents—how can such a man surmount the surges of public events, or restrain the ebullitions of his arrogant and self-sufficient party ? It is impossible ! He must sink under it. He must see that the windows of heaven are open, and that the waters of revolution are pouring down amain. He must- feel that he is helpless—that his Sovereign is like himself in the stream—that anarchy has sprung out of his darling re form—that the mob are armed against the monarchy— and that the credit, faith, and security of the country are shattered, trembling, tottering—all but gone ! We have at length caught that very amiable person age who calls himself the Reverend W. SHEPHERD, and, having caught the master, we most respectfully take our leave of his operatives who, for some time, have been carping at the STANDARD. This Mr. SHEPHERD, who professes to preach the gospel, which, by the way, he does not, and presumes to expound those scriptures which he either does not understand or perverts to factious and pernicious purposes—this very reverend expounder of Socinian doctrines has chosen to make an attack upon us; and he has done it gratuitously and without provocation in the columns of the Liverpool Journal. The manner of the attack is like the man, a compound of vanity and meanness. He could not allow the opportunity to pass without telling the world that he is chairman of Lord BROUGHAM'S provincial committee for the circulation of the Penny Magazine and the diffusion of useless know ledge, and, in making this important communication, he addresses himself to a gentleman whom he falsely as sumes to be a proprietor, if not a conductor of this paper. Thus egotism and impertinence flow in the stream of his pen, and his attempt to be caustic misleads him into false hood and misrepresentation. Mr. THOMAS FOSTER is not a proprietor of the LIVERPOOL STANDARD, and never has interfered, and has no more right to interfere with it, directly or indirectly, than has Mr. SHEPHERD him self. This is our answer to the petty and malevolent insinuations ortite,revorend gentleman, and hi 3 equally reverend coadjutors and subalterns of the press. We say the'insinuation is malevolent because the object of Mr. SHEPHERD is to identify Mr. FOSTER with the opinions of the STANDARD as lately expressed relative to the cor poration commissions. Can anything be more invidious than this? But if Mr. FOSTER were connected with the ST4ND ARD, a writer of any of its articles, or compromised by its principles, which he is not, what right has Mr. SHEPHERD to ask the question ? He is the last man in England who should interfere with the press, or the pri vate sentiments, or public principles of any one sup posed or even known to be connected with it. Mr. SHEPHERD, if he have any charity, should not condemn in others what he does himself. An instructor of youth, and a minister of religion, no matter what that re ligion is, should confine himself to his professional stu dies and the discharge of his professional duties. When necessity compels him to appear in public life be should conduct himself with becoming decorum, otherwise he disgraces the profession to which be belongs. When he conies forth to throw filth at other men-to deal in dark insinuations—to assail private reputation, and inter meddle in matters with which he has no earthly con cern—then we assert that he not only brings discredit upon the order to which he belongs, but lie merits as se vere a chastisement as the indignation or contempt of society can inflict. If Mr. SHEPHERD have any charges to bring against the STANDARD (we are not aware that his name was ever mentioned in its pages) let him come forward manfully and give his challenge. Our columns are open, as • they have ever been, to every fair and honourable antagonist; but when Mr. SHEP HERD thinks fit to vent his spleen upon private individuals, whom we are bound to respect as such, but who have no connection with the STANDARD, he is entitled to no cle• menu at our hands, and we shall treat him accordingly. OcTonErt. 20, 1833. But we by no means regret that the riftrend gentle' man has extorted from us these remonstrances. Ile con tends that he has a "right" to address his remarks , n' t to the conductor, but to whoever was instrumental In establishing the STANDARD. Mr. SHEPHERD has a right'! to do what he pleases, provided he is content to abidr the consequences. He has a right to assume a fallacy. which, by the way, he has constantly exercised during whole life; but when he is assured that he is wrung, Of • such a philosopher is permitted to err,) he is bound to re tract his error, and express his penitence. But we are reach' to meet Mr. SHEPHERD upon his own grounds. He admits himself to be an agent of the Penny Magazine; he is consequently connected with that worthless and fraudulent publication; and for the frauds committed by its editors he is responsible. In • seizing upon him we deal, to use his own words, " wit h principals rather than with subordinates." But lot him speak for himself : "Sts, —My attention has just now been directed to a passage . in a leading article of a late number of the Liverpool Standard , the writer of which, in commenting on some pernicious choir publications issued by the Birmingham Trades' Union, is please d to intimate, in substance, that it is no wonder that these artisans should pursue this line of conduct, when Lord Brougham Is engaged in poisoning the public mind by his penny politics. It is evident that this remark can allude only to the Penny Magazine. This publication, Sir, emanates, as you may per- - haps know, from the "Society for the Diffusion of Useful Knowledge," of the Liverpool branch committee of which I hare tka honour to l;&- rhairman, as appears by the list usually" appended to our works ; and I take this method of apprising you, that the very respectable gentlemen who are charged with the superintendence of the magazine in question, were, at 01 0 • commencement of their labours, strictly charged to avoid ea abstract theories, and all temporary questions that might agittrte the public mind, and to accumulate such stores of useful and enter taining facts as might tend to afford much better nutriment to the minds of the working classes, for whose use it was principally designed, than could be derived from the passing politics of the day. Our editors, Sir, have futfilled this requisition to the letter. They have avoided the insertion of any inflammatory matter iss the work entrusted to their management, and 1 defy 'y o u to find a political article in its whole series." ! We have no hesitation in saying that some of the , above averments are positively untrue. We do not ac cuse Mr. SHEPHERD, God forbid! of premeditated false- • hood, but we do assert that what he states is false. Ws have nothing to do with the instructions originally given to the writers or compilers of the Penny Magazine ; but when he affirms that " abstract theories " have been avoided, that " temporary questions that might agitate the public mind " have not been discussed in the Penny Magazine, and when he adds, " I defy you to find a poli tical article in its whole series," we join issue with hin at once, and proceed to produce our evidence. Now, reader, you shall judge between us and Mr. SHEPHERD. We have before us the first annual volume of the Penny MagaZine—that for 1832, and we find at page 38 an article on " Fluctuation in the Price of Corn" —at page 64 an article upon "High and Low Duties," in which a tax upon penny papers, like other more honest publications, is discussed at length—at page 80 there is what is called a " Lesson to Rulers" upon taxation—at page 120 the policy of "Prohibitory Duties in Spain" is discussed—at page 179 there is an article in favour of , foreign manufactures, in which foreign silks, gloves, &c. are recommended to the British consumer—at page42i there is an article on co-operative labourers, and at page 374 there is an article on free trade in favour of foreign silks, and in which the speeches of POULETT THOMSON and the incomprehensible but "abstract theories" of M' Culloch are strongly recommended. Now, does Mr. SHEPHERD mean to contend that these are not political disquisitions, or party views of policy, - or temporary questions which do not agitate the public mind ? Are we to understand that the corn question is not one calculated to agitate the public mind ? Did Mr , SHEPHERD ever hear of a place called Spitalfields, and does he know that the policy advocated in his Penny Ma gazine led to much agitation and conflicting opinions,— and to unexampled misery in Spitalftelds ? If Mr. SHEP HERD be ignorant of these facts, he is not competent to offer any opinion on great public questions, and, humble as the duty is, by no means well qualified to be chairman , • . of the Liverpool agency of a useless society. He says that his woodcuts and other trash were "prin cipally designed for the working classe,q. We respond, that we care not for whom they were designed; but this we happen to know, that the working classes are not, except to a very limited extent, the readers of his Penny Magazine. It is chiefly purchased by the middle and higher classes,—by persons who could afford to purchase works of a higher order, but who are tempted to purchase - it by its cheapness. Among farm labourers and other labourers the publication is hardly known. But the cheapness of the trash is that of which we have most reason to complain ; for it is not cheap by legitimate means, but because it pirates other works and is allowed to circulate onunstamped paper. It is a news paper in disguise; and it is permitted to discuss questions of commercial policy, and subjects connected with the taxes and corn laws, by connivance, and by unpardonable connivance, on the part of the Government. We pre sume that Mr. SHEPHERD is as jealous of his moral status in society as other men; and yet we suspect that he is not aware that by being a party to the publication of the Penny Magazine, he is lending himself to some thing which is very nearly allied to fraud. The maga zine is, for the most part, compiled from the works of modern, and many of them living, authors. It may be very well to impart cheap instruction to the people, but it is dishonest to pillage and appropriate the works of in- - dividual authors, many of them comparatively poor men, to this public purpose. Mr. SHEPHERD does not- throw his shield over the Bir- _ mingham Penny Ma,!iazine—why ? For thi s reas o n, it is not BROUGHAM'S or SHEPHERD'S Penny Magazine; and the reason is natural enough, according to the proverb, that two of a trade can never agree. But, with all sub mission be it said, the rival of Birmingham is the honester publication of the two. Its articles are chiefly original, therefore the property of the contributors or proprietors; but Mr. SHEPHERD'S magazine consists principally of pilfered articles, shreds and patches stolen from books, cuts imitated from plates, and tables and anecdotes . filched from the newspapers. It is hard that authors should be robbed of their materials under the pretext of charity, by a society which professes to circulate, but in point of fact does not circulate, its numbers among the " working classes," We have received from New South Wales, the Syd ney Herald and Australian newspapers to the 18th or May. The Australian of the 17th of May has a long dissertation on the usury laws. It seems to have been the practice in the colony, when no specific agreement fur another and higher rate of interest has been made, to al low a charge of 8 per cent.; and in many cases as much as 10 or 12-t per cent. per annum has been paid. A doubt has, however, arisen as to the legality of even the smaller sum. It appears that a case has been tried by Judge ButereN, the action being upon. a bill or note Which did not specify any rate of interest ; and the plaintiff' having, succeeded in establishing his claim, the Jud ge directed that a verdict should be entered fur the amount of the bill or note, " together with legal interest thereon,"—in timating that he knew of no law but the law of England upon the subject; and that until it was solemnly adjudged what was the legal interest of the colony, he should alloy • only 5 per cent. per annum to be recovered before him. A point was reserved, and subsequently argued before the three Judges. The Australian gives a summary of the argument in the following terms "It is admitted that in England no greater amount than tive - per cent. can be taken for the use of money, and all contracts for more are void, and various penalties attach under the usury laws to the taking of a larger rate of interest. By several Acts of Parliament however it is to be collected, that so far as re gards the mere rate of interext, the usury laws do not extend to the colonies, for these acts especially recognize the validity of securities made in England, for s uch ra t e o f i n t eres t as thelaw of the colons- to which they appi may allow. Then what is the law of this colony in this respt;et? It is laid down that a British settlement is governed by the laws of England, so far as they are applicable to its infant condition. Thus the laws for the protection of life and liberty, and many others, are alike necessary in a new formed colony as in an old established. country, and therefore are not the laws of the colony. Other laws again are not fitted for the condition, and therefore are not • the laws of the colonies. Such for instance are the laws oire" venue, excise, &c., and such laws as have grown out oftba commercial regulations in a great mer ca ntil e cou nt r y. What does and what dues not apply is in the first instance to be de; cided on by the colonial legislatures, subject to the revision 0/ the King in council. It was then contended that part of a law may be applicable to the condition of this or another colony' and part not.—Thus with the usury laws, s,upposiug a legal rat e of interest to be es t a bli s h e d, it may be very politic or legal to apply the usury laws so far as to prevent the taking of any • greater rate. But on the other band, it would be anythinoe,l. applicable to our condition to limit interest to 5 per cent. Pley . • ther has the court the power to do so ;itis a question for the - legislature. Before any legislature existed in the colony, s rate of interest of 8 per cent. prevailed by common universa l consent (the proper foundation of all laws.) It was given and taken in all dealings in money and where interest was allow" —it was recognized in the earli es t per i o d o f our co l on i a l bi g. tory and by every Court that has been -established, and it haw lately been recognized by an A c t o f th e l eg i s l a t ure respecting the savings' bank on loans made by that institution, and if the usury laws do apply in New S ou th W a l es , th ey on l y a pply , cases where a greater rate is taken or secured than 8 pea cent per annum. " Ou the other hand it was contended, th a t the laws of V n n gla are to be applied here, wherever th e y can lie applied, and, cow , sequently, that the usury laws and ev e part of them- must b° ' IRELAND. STATE OF THE COUNTR Y. ATTACKING HOUSES FOll FIRE-ARNIS.—On Saturday night last, an armed party of men attacked the farm-house of Mr. Arthur Elartland, at Ballygarvan, and threatened destruction to the inmates and property, if a gun that the trustee had in his possesion was not instantly given to them—a demand which, through fear, was complied with. Several other houses were attacked in like manner, and tire arms taken from the occu pants.—Cork Constitution. MURDEROUS ATTACK.—A few nights since, as Mr. Ruskell, of Knockview, county Wicklow, was returning home from a steeple Chace, he was way-laid in Newbridge, and several stones thrown at him, cne of which hit him on the temple, which nearly felled him from his horse. Ile was, however, able to reach his sister's residence, where he now lies in a precarious state, attended by Surgeon' Nicholson, his skull all but frac tured. It appears he had some dispute on the race course with two young men, and from his being a powerful and athletic young man, they were afraid to attack him in any but this assassin-like manner. They are well kuown, however, and we have no doubt will receive that punishment all such cowardly and infamous conduct deserves. • On the morning of the 19th instant, an armed party went to the houses of several fanners at Corcamore, near Ballybrowne, in this county, and warned them, on pain of death, not to em ploy strangers, and to turn off those whom the.y had already in their employment.—John Bateman, farmer, and his wife, re turning from market on Saturday night, were attacked by three failovis in Clare-street, who robbed them of several articles of wearing apparel. One of the offenders, named Meyers, is in custody.-- Limerick Chronicle. On Thursday night last, between the hours of ten and eleven o'clock, (being the fair day of Killenaule,) that town was a scene of rioting, bloodshed, throwing stones, breaking windows, &c. &c., although a Etroncr force of police were in attendance. The house of Mr. Richard Greene was broken into by a gang of cowardly assassins, who heat Mr. Greene and inflicted several cuts on his head, and his son received a B.:were blow on his arm while in the act of saving, his father from the brutal design of those fellows. The windows of Mr. Richard Bourke's house were broken with stones, and also several others. The police should be more on the alert, particularly on the fair night, which we are sorry to add is always a scene of rioting and dis turbing the well-disposed persons of the town.—Cloninell Ad vertiser. Yesterday constable Hourigan, of the peace preservation force, and constables Spain, Markham, and Singleton, of the constabulary, stationed at Kilteely, under the orders of Captain Brady, succeeded in arresting Michael Mahony, the late tenant of Biillynagreny, who was the author of all the disturbances in that quarter of the county during the last few months.

" FAIR PLAY" is amusing enough, but the poor man whom he laughs at is hardly worth our notice—at present, having higher game in hand.
