Poetrp, IVESTNIINSTEIi ABBEY. BY THOMAS MILLER. (Pram Friendship's Offering for 1837.) Tread lightly here ! this spot is holy ground, And every footfall wakes the voice of ages : These are the mighty dead that hem thee round, Names that still cast a halo o'er our pages : Listen ! 'tis Fame's loud voice that now complains, **. Here sleeps more sacred dust than all the world contains," Thou mayst bend o'er each marble semblance now ; That was a monarch,—see how mute he lies! There was a day when, on his crumbling brow. The golden crown flashed awe on vulgar eyes; That broken hand did then a sceptre sway, And thousands round him kneeled, his mandates to obey. Turn to the time, when he thus low was laid, Within this narrow house, in proud array ; Dirges were sung, and solemn masses said, And high-plumed helms bent o'er him as he lay ; Princes and peers were congregated here, And all the pomp of death assembled round his bier. See! at his head, a rude-carved lion stands, In the dark niche were never sunbeams beat; And still he folds his supplicating hands; A watchful dragon crouches at his feet,— How oddly blended !—He all humble lies, While they defiance cast from their fierce stony eyes. And kings. and queens, here slumber, side by side, Their quarrels hushed in the embrace of death; An feelings calmed of jealousy or pride, Once fanned to flame by slander's burning breath Even the crowns they wear from cares are free, As those on children's heads, who play at royalty. An awful silence here does ever linger ; Her dwelling is this many-pillared dome On her wan lip she plants her stony finger, And, breath-hushed, gazes on her voiceless home; Listening, she stands, with half-averted head, For echoes never heard among the mute-tongued dead. Oh ! I could sit and weep here like a child ! I know not why thus heavy feels my soul ; But I did deem that one pale st:itue smiled Upon me in the twilight ; and the roll Of memory's rapid wheels did backward move, — For the mute marble wore a form I once did love. But this is fancy,—for the busy brain Grows sad by contemplation on the past : Thoughts move in chains, a heavy, wearied train, Dragging down to the grave, their rest, at last Care folds his arms, and sits apart to weep Over the silent tombs wherein the mighty sleep. LITERARY NOTICES. The British and Foreign Review. October, 183 G. Whether we regard the variety and importance of the articles selected, or the address and ability with which they are discussed, we are equally gratified and instructed by the happy and erudite skill displayed in the present number of the British and Foreign Review. The first article presents us with a compendious view of the " Trade and Consular Establishments of the Levant," in which the - speech of P. M. Stewart, M.P, in the House of Commons, on Wednesday, April 20, 1.836, in support of his motion on the subject of the aggression of Russia, and other contemporaneous and correlative works, are faithfully examined, and the several arguments found in them pursued to practical conclusions—the whole evin cing comprehensive knowledge, sound judgment, and deep penetration. The second article, on " Persia," is replete with that information which goes to form the ac complished scholar, who desires to lay his foundation upon sound historical facts, and to build an intellectual structure which will bear the minutest examination; much that is novel, and more that is interesting will be found in every page. We next come to the article on the " British Association at Bristol;" and here we should be glad to enter, and expatiate on the probable results of these periodical concentrations of learned and scientific men, if our limits would allow ; but self-denial is the ex ercise to which we are called; and we the more readily submit to it, because a thousand times more than what may be deficient from our forbearance, is supplied by the writer of the present article. He enters very fully into the consideration of existing arrangements, and suggests improvements, some of which would, doubtless, serve to promote the objects of the association. We think so in teresting, and, altogether, a nineteentli-eentury institu tion, ought to be governed according to the best laws; and since what is said in morals, "new repente turpis simus"—no one becomes suddenly desperately wicked— is equally true of all constitutions, they are not perfect at once ; every hint offered, as these are, in the spirit of candour, ought to receive due consideration ; they do not spring into being, like Minerva, completely armed at all points. We are, we believe, to be honoured next year, with this Assemble des Savans—they who read at tentively the present paper, will have an opportunity of judging of its practical application. We could thus pro ceed to notice the same display of ability in several of the succeeding articles, each equally important, but "the limits of our space" forbid us; we therefore pass on to the article on "National Education," because that topic has occupied our leading columns of to-day, and also be cause we find in it allusions of local interest to Liver pool. The first sentence seems to be fully justified by the late proceeding of our Town Council :—" It is not universally admitted in these enlightened islands," says the writer, "that a good education is a good thing." After a very eloquent apostrophe to the condition of Ger many, we find these words immediately applicable to ourselves:—" Every one had the privilege of falling into as many errors as he chose, and of groping out of them as he could, on the important matter of his 0W74 and his children's instruction"—to wit Liverpool—and he adds, very pertinently, in a subsequent page, that such instruc tion is " worse than no instruction at all." So far we accord our sentiments to the writer of the article before us, but with him we can proceed no further. His object is to educate the mind only ; we feel it to be of equal importance, a permanent duty, to educate the heart also. There is no system of education that can be considered complete that excludes religion, and morals founded upon religion. You may make, by secular education, the dex terous sharper—the subtle politician—the skilful artist— the philosopher; but we will never make that noblest of all creatures the moral and religious man. There will be found in the paper now under consideration much thinking, many clear views, and every where the choicest composition. IMPROVEMENT IN TRAVELLING. We may most of us recollect, that when we were ail tlren our mothers would make us stand against a wall and measure our height, and would on that day twelve month take us to the same spot to ascertain how much we had grown ; and but for this test, our increase of sta ture would hare been imperceptible. It is so with na. tional growth and national improvement : our ideas ex pand in just proportion with every thing around us; and unless we fix upon some distinct points of comparison, we fancy that we are the same people, and enjoying the same advantages, as thirty years ago. Take, for in stance, the (lady press. We are not aware that a news paper is at all different from the same publication at all times of our life; but upon a reference to an ancient file, we shall discover, that except being "a folio of four pages," there are few other points of resemblance. — Again, look to the modes of conveyance from place to place. We may now travel in any of the public vehicles a hundred miles, almost without the necessity of taking refreshment ; whereas in our boyhood a similar journey would have occupied two days. We have been led into this train of reflections by an inspection of a new steam vessel, called the Clarence, which trades between Edin burgh and London, and which we saw at Blackwall two or three days ago. Our recollection places before us a voyage which we took from Edinburgh to London i❑ ear l y life. We remember the solemn leave we took of our friends, and our promise to write to them on our ar rival in London, which might be in a period of a fort night or three weeks. Our imagination then conducts us to the vessel,—a Leith smack, totally destitute both of comfort and ornament; its dark cabin, smoky, and ,badly ventilated ; the dirty pallet upon which we lay for More than a fortnight ; and the salt provisions with which we were regaled during the voyage. What a contrast is now presented to us I A vessel nearly the size of a frigate, the cost of which we were told exceeded £30,000 ; a cabin which might be mistaken for a splendid drawing room, cased with mahogany and hung with looking glasses, with accommodations of all sorts, not merely • answering the purposes of comfort but of luxury, and, in fact. rivalling in every respect the elegant comfort of a modern club-house. It may be asked whether this ex pense is not superfluous, and whether more homely ac commodations might not answer the purpose ? We think not. By combining pleasure with business—by holding out invitations to the inhabitants of the sister countries to visit each other, as much for the sake of pleasure and health as of convenience and traffic—by making a voyage from Edinburgh to Londo❑ a most agreeable summer excursion—and by softening the ri• gours of it when performed in winter—we are surely conferring upon the inhabitants of both cowaries the ad 7 vantages of travel which they would not otherwi,e be tempted to avail themselves of; we are uniting them closer in feelings of cordiality and unanimity ; and we are sugc.r,estin;.: to each country the improvements which may be adopted from the other.—Courier. COURTESIES OF THE TA IS LE.—Among the many choice spirits Who figured in the convivial circles of Ayrshire, about the close of the last century, no one, perhaps, was a greater favourite than Mr. H--. of S—.

With a mixture of pain and surprise we this day pre sent a series of letters, followed by an official document, for none of which, we imagine, have the Protestants of these island s b een yet prepared, notwithstanding the ac cumulated proofs which have been offered to them, of what the Established Church of the United Kingdom ought to dread, from the treachery or fatuity of her sworn protectors. The case is this :—The Rev. Mr. Nolan, who had • jured the Church of Rome, and transferred his ministe • rial services to that reformed church with whose pure te nets his own enlightened faith coincided, was appointed by the Lord Primate, curate of the parish of Athboy, in the county of Meath, a rectory which appears, from the circumstances of the short narrative transmitted to us, to be annexed to the archiepiscopal see of Aimagh, the Rev. Robert Noble, writer of the letter No. 3 in the cor respondence, being vicar of the same parish. Mr. No lan was recognised as curate by the Lord Bishop of Meath, and authorised by that prelate to assert the rights of iris curacy, and to execute its duties. It appears that Mr. Nolan, having come on one occasion, above a month ago, into the diocese of Dublin, preached in the church of Lucan, a few miles from Dublin, a sermon, which our correspondent describes from report to have been "calm, dispassionate, and argumentative," although of a contro versial nature—that is, vindicating the truths of the Pro testant religion against the errors and the denunciations of that false church whose ministers are perpetually heap ing the most calumnious charges against protestantism, and inflaming at once the superstitious prejudices and the fiery passions of the Popish multitude against the lawful rights, the character, and persons of the established clergy. We have yet to learn that there was anything criminal in this—anything beyond the fulfilment of a sacred duty, on the part of Mr. Nolan. However, we find from letter No. 1, addressed by the domestic chap lain of the Archbishop to Archdeacoa Magee, rector of St. John's, Dublin, that his Grace, the whig-radical Archbishop, Dr. Whately, was resolved to prohibit Mr. Nolan from preaching or performing any clerical office whatever within the diocese over which the said Dr. Whately presided. The rev. gentleman, Mr. Nolan, having come to Dublin, and received the full permission and authority of Archdeacon Magee to preach from his pulpit in St. John's Church, the chaplain wrote to an nounce to the Archdeacon the embargo laid upon the spiritual functions of the rev. proselyte, be order of the Most Rev. Prelate. We do think that Dr. Whately ought to explain to the Protestant world, in both coun tries, his reason for this peremptory and ungracious—not to say suspicious —act. Does the Protestant Archbishop mean to discountenance expositions from the pulpit of the points disputed between the Church of England and that of Rome ? Does he declare that there shall be no defence or justification from any Protestant pulpit within the archiepiscopal diocese of Dublin—no defence, we say, of the doctrines of the reformed church in contra distinction from those of the Romish ? Or is it his wish that no lay Protestant shall receive such instruction from his spiritual pastor as may enable him to give " a reason for the faith that is in him ?" Or, finally, is it the fixed purpose of this mathematical, economical, political, whig archbishop to co-operate with the Popish heirarchy in Ireland by frowning down and discountenancing every Roman Catholic convert whose conscience might inspire him with a disgust to popery and with a reverence for the Protestant faith, and might dispose him to read his recantation. Those rev. and virtuous clergymen, Mr. 0. Croly and Mr,.-Crotty, have inflicted such deep wounds on the whole machinery of Irish Romanism, by their ear nest and edifying exposvires of the gross, unchristian wickedness, and corruption, which have eaten into the vitals of that earth born and deceitful system, that it al most seems as if the whig-radical archbishop dreaded the fatal effects which popery might experience from a repe tition by fresh proselytes of the same course of instruction to mankind, and has therefore striven to shut their mouths, and suppress the reasoning by which, while they vindi cate their own flight from the regions of darkness, they beseech their yet unliberated brethren to partake with them the blessings of conversion. For it is not Protes tants only, but pious Roman Catholics, eager for that knowledge which their own ministers dare not dispense to them, wino throng to hear the word of truth from the lips of these converted preachers, labouring once under the like errors with themselves, and qualified therefore fully to develope and elucidate every stage of those strug gles of the inward man which have ended in their own recovery to the fold of the Redeemer. It was such a congregation, so crowded and so mixed, of which our Irish correspondent paints the astonishment when Archdeacon Magee announced to them, after the communion service, on Sunday last, that the hand of power had silenced the teacher whom they had flocked to hear. What excuse the most rev. potentate of Dublin may present to the Protestant world of both islands for an act so arbitrary, and to religious minds, under all the circum stances of these eventful days, so revolting, it is not for us to guess at. Sure we are that the papists will require no apology—sure we are that if Drs. M'llale and Murray were at the elbow of our liberal metropolitan, they would smother him with applauses, absolutions, and indulgen cies, for this display of " wholesome rigour" towards one who is already no doubt anathematized from every popish altar in the land, for being at once a heretic and an apos tate. It would nothing surprise us if Dr. Whately had thus earned for himself an honorary enrolment amon g the members of the " rebellion-rent" association in Dub lin, prefaced by a cut-and-dry panegyric from the depUt of Mr. Daniel O'Connell. Decent men of all parties condemn and reprobate the act. " Sir,—l am just come from St. John's church, within about 40 yards of the Castle gate, when the most crowded congrega tion I ever witnessed was collected together to hear the Rev. Mr. Nolan, formerly a Roman Catholic priest, but now a Pro testant clergyman, the curate of Athboy, in the county of Meath, and a curate to his Grace the Lord Primate. At the conclusion of the communion service Archdeacon Magee, the rector of St. John's, informed the astonished congregation that he was com pelled to inhibit Mr. Nolan from preaching that day in his pulpit by the peremptory interdict of his Grace the Archbishop of Dublin, who had prohibited Mr. Nolan from preaching in any other part of his diocese. You must know that Mr. Nolan preached a controversial sermon upon the errors of the Church of Rome, about a month ago, at Linen, a village within about seven miles of Dublin, and within the diocese of the Archbishop. I did not hear.him, but from what I have heard of that sermon, I should judge him calm, dispassionate, and argumentative. In a discourse of considerable length he said nothing to offend the worst prejudices of the many Roman Catholics who thronged to hear him; he cited Scripture in refutation of every error he impugned, and in support of every truth he enforced. The present Archdeacon is the son of the late Archbishop of Dub lin—the pillar of the church in his day, and as the author of the Atonement has contributed, with some few other names, to take from our native college the imputation of the silent sister. I send you the copy of the correspondence 1,2, 3, and also the original inhibit under the sign manual and seal of the Arch bishop of Dublin. As nobody I have vet seen of all parties, and I have seen four or five, who do not Condesrin this measure, even though it be Sunday, in order that you may have the same by Tuesday's mail. 6i B" No. 1.

Of course I could have no objection in permitting the Primate's own Curate to preach in my Church, but if the Archbishop of Dub. lin thinks differently, and from personal knowledge prohibits Mr. Nolan front preaching in this diocese, I offer no factious opposition, and shall forthwith intimate his Grace's decision to Mr. Nolan.

TO THE EDITOR OF 7'HE LIVERPOOL STANDARD. Sin,—There is an opinion abroad, and which is now every where very general, that the ltounish apostacy is never so much assailed as by ministers of the established church; but, were those individuals who labour under such impressions to enter the precincts of many of our sectarian chapels, they would soon be undeceived as to the fact, and find that the Popish dogmas not unfrequentiv occupy the attention, and form the subjects of severe animadrergion, by many of their respective pastors. Of the truth of this I have of late been fully convinced, and never so much as on Sunda, morning last, for, having been induced to go and hear the fi.ev. Mr. Lister, of Lime-street, that gen tleman took for his text° a subject bearing expressly upon the character of the Romish church, and, clearly enough, pointed out some of the leading dogmas set forth iu her truly anti christian formularies. That the Church of Rome is the great antichrist everywhere spoken of in the scriptures, the reverend gentleman, I think, sufficiently established, and with an eloquence peculiar to him self—simple and unaffected, yet dignified, inasmuch as truth characterised his every remark—exhibited iu lively colouring those traits which distinctly mark that apostate church as hav ing " denied, or departed from, the purity of the faith, once de livered to the saints." Some of the characteristics dilated upon by the reverend gen tleman were the sacrifice of the mass, purgatury, image worship, and the denial of the holy scriptures to the lay community; which prohibition went to perpetuate and estatliih the great apostacy. Let but the word of God, continued the reverend gentleman, be placed in the hands of those unhappily within the pale of that church, and nothing more is required to prove how far she has departed from the purity of the faith of primitive christianity, and to declare herself to be that "mystery of iniquity" which, for ages past, has b e en acti ve ly engage d in deceiving the na tions of the earth. And do we wonder at this ? Great would be our surprise did not Protestant ministers of every denomination loudly and in cessantly protest ag ainst all such gross abuse of sound doctrine. But, what say the boasted liberalists of the present day to all such ? Why, that to declaim against all or any religious error is the height of fanaticism and intolerant bigotry. Surely they mean it nut an aence so to speak, though it be the fashion of the age. The better fact is, that truth, set in opposition to error, is in no instance to be tolerated ; the mild spirit of the would-be liberal of the nineteenth century wishes that all differences in religious matters should merge into the stillness of quiet and repose, and would in kind charity bury all essentials in oblivious forgetfulness —a species of conciliation this that would bring inevitable ruia up , ,n all. To dress out error in the garb of truth is the business only of those engaged to deceive; and were it possible, which it is not, to suppress that wakeful spirit which now animates the breasts, and nerves the arm of thousands, generously occupied in the de fence of correct principles of truth, then might the infatuated votaries of the Diana of our modern Ephesus exult in the success of their mischievous designs; but, until then, let them hide their diminished heads, and soberly reflect, that however they may assail the ramparts of truth and integrity, yet shall they but has ten with greater impetuosity their own final subversion and utter extermination.

The fifteenth anniversary meeting of the friends of the above society was held on Tuesday night, in Great George-street Chapel, at half-past six o'clock. On the motion of Dr. RAFFLES, Mr. Alderman Brown, was called to the chair. Mr. Alderman BROWN, on taking the chair, said he should ill discharge his duty as a member of the society whose anni versary meeting they had met to celebrate, if he declined to accept the honour which they had conferred in requesting him to preside over this present meeting. The Rev. Dr. RAFFLES read the report, which deplored the very limited support which the society had hitherto met with— a support by no means commensurate to its great importance. During the period of its existence the average annual income not having been more than £ll7. The greatest sum contributed to its support during any one year was in 1826, when the amount was £ll3. I4s. With so limited an income it was impossible to do what was wished. The report went on to state the urgent necessity which exists that the murals and conduct of seamen should he improved, as even the labours of the foreign mission aries have been found to be much retarded by the conduct which some of them have pursued in foreign stations. It was urged that the town should be canvassed with the utmost activity, that the ships should be visited, and that the lodging-houses should be, as much as possible, attended to. With this view, Mr. Joseph Peart, it was stated, had been engaged as a stipendiary agent, and assistant secretary of the society, which would entail an increased annual expenditure. Much was expected from the zeal, talent, and devotion of the above-named gentleman. It was stated, that during the past year a sum of money had been contributed from the town of Sheffield, and but little doubt was expressed but the society would receive annual support from the same quarter. One year Manchester had contributed £2OO, and it was thought much - good might be done by sending depu tations to this and other towns soliciting contributions. The at tendance at the Floating Chapel, the report stated, was good, and the devout attention and behaviour of the seamen highly gratifying. An individual at the north end of the town had built a room for public worship at his own expense, which was now well attended. They had also a school in the same quarter, with teachers, &c., and the results were already very cheering. The operations of the society in tracts and books, with the de partment of ship libraries, was also stated to be in full activity, six libraries having been fitted up during the past year. Several contributions of bibles and tracts were acknowledged from the Bible Society, and from the London and Liverpool Tract Societies. Mr. Alderman H. C. JONES, read over the accounts for the past year. Mr. Councillor Horn proposed the first resolution, "That the report be adopted, printed, and circulated, uuder the direction of the committee." He (Mr. Hope) had early taken an ac tive part in the operations of the society, but he regretted that he had not lately had the opportunity of doing so, notwithstand ing his ardent wishes for its welfare. So far from his attach ment to it having suffered any abatement, it had increased, by every observation which he had made. Mr. Hope went on to state, the great importance of paying every attention to the morals of seamen, whom h e h a d uniformly found exceedingly susceptible of religious impressions, and grateful for instruc tion. He spoke not on his own individual authority alone, but from the experience of others. When Bishop Heher landed at Bombay, he was requested by a captain of a vessel to preach to the seamen there. Che bishop said, he would readily com ply, if he thought the seamen would be disposed to listen to him. The captain requested him to make the experiment, and he complied ; when he was so highly gratified that he appoint ed a chaplain to perform this duty ever after. He would ad dress himself to their interests as well as to their feelings of Christian benevolence, and would ask them, if it were not their interests that the seamen should be virtuous rather than wick ed, temperate rather than dissolute. Should such an immense quantity of valuable property, as was imported into, and export ed from the port of Liverpool, be entrusted to drunkards, rather than to men who could not conduct themselves respectably ? Even activity and bravery were to be expected iu a greater de gree from the latter than the former. In this, he was borne out by the testimony of Captains Parry, Ross, Basil, Hall and others. The Rev. Mr. LISTER seconded the resolution. He agreed with Mr. Hope, that even the temporal interests of the ship owners of Liverpool, required that they should forward the views of that society. The chairman knew, that very many of the losses which took place at sea, were occasioned by the igno rance, and frequently by the intemperance of seamen. It was desirable, that vessels should be manned by seamen, and com manded by masters who had the fear of God before their eyes. The spiritual interests of seamen were interwoven with those of their ewn countrymen, abroad and at home, as well as with foreigners, who looked into their conduct for somo of the fruits of that religion, which was impressed upon them by our mis sionaries. The Rev. gentleman concluded by contrasting the improved state of morals exhibited by seamen now, in this town with those of some years since, and by seconding the resolu tion. Mr. 1!'I ART moved the second resolution, to the effect, "That the meeting desired to express devout thanks to God, for the many tokens of his blessings and presence to the Bethel Union, during the past year, and earnestly implored his benediction for their future labours." Mr. Peart, in a very eloquent speech, advocated the objects of the society, and gave a brief view of the results of his past labours, and of his objects in future, from which he appeared to augur great success. Mr. PETERS seconded the resolution in an emphatic and pow erful address, which was received with great applause. After setting forth a number of striking arguments, he said he had one of more weight than any of the rest. lie begged to hand to the chairman the sum of ,E 8 125.. which had been collected by Miss Christian, and entrusted to him for presentation. Several small donations were the❑ announced by the Rev. Dr. Reifies, amounting to the sour of £ll Bs. 6d. Mr. ROWL•Niis proposed the third resolution in lieu of Mr. Blackburn, who was absent. It was to the effect, that the meet ing had heard with pleasure of the success of the agent, and of the confidence which the seamen had in him, and that they com mended hint to the prayers of the society. The Rev. MOSES FISHER seconded the resolution. He had, he stated, been present at the formation of the society, he had watched its progress with pleasure, and he now rejoiced at its success. Mr. PEA UT briefly returned thanks for the allusion in the re solution. Mr. Councillor JOHN CROPPER moved the fourth resolution, "That the meeting, impressed with a conviction that the visiting of lodging-houses was en useful and important branch of their operations, earnestly solicited the support and co-operation of the meeting to that effect." Mr. Cropper supported the motion in a brief speech. Mr. W. K A y seconded the resolution. The Rev. JAMES JONES moved the fifth resolution, to the ef. feet, th a t th e meeting rejoiced to hear that the attendance on the mini s t ry of the gospel and a t th e p rayer mee ti ngs was so good, and th at they returned their grateful acknowledgments to the ministers who had preached at the Floating Chapel. Mr. Alderman JoNES briefly seconded the resolution. Mr. A DvmAN proposed the sixth resolution, to the effect, that the thanks of the meeting he presented to the Rev. Dr. Raffles, the Kev. J. Kelly, the Rev. .1. l'eart, &e. Seconded by Mr. JOHN Joe. The Rev. Dr. RA MRS proposed the thanks of the meeting to Mr. Alderman Brown, for the kindness and urbanity with which he had presided over that meeting. Mr. Alderman BROWN returned thanks.

BRISTOL TRADESMEN'S CONSERVATIVE SOCIETY. The Bristol liberals have, for the last fortnight, been enjoying the temporary triumph they obtained in the Municipal election. After the signal deteat they suffered at the last parliamentary election, and the power and influence they expected to gain by the municipal reform bill, we do not wonder' they have been incessantly and actively at work to secure their presumed ad vantages,—that they are running wild with joy, and that even at meetiugs for charitable purposes, the cry is " We are now in the ascendant, and certainly therefore the high party !!" Gen tlemen, had you acted wisely you would have suppressed your assumed ascendancy, and joyous boastings, till time had a little inure matured your plans, and you had lulled your opponents again into that listlessness and inactivity, which have alone been the cause of your temporary triumph. Temporary we tell you it is, for you have roused into action a body of your fellow citizens, who have never before resolved to unite theinselveein to such a phalanx of strength and union, as that now about to be formed, and which must regain them such an ascendancy, as to allow the worthy president of the anchor to enjoy his old fashioned appellation of "a low party man." The re-action we allude to is the formation in this city, from the ranks of its tradesmen, of an association, to be called " The Bristol Tradesmen's Conservative Society." The necessity for such a society has long been apparent to every well-wisher to the conservative cause; and had it existed a twelvemonth ago, the late results at the municipal election would have been very different. But it is not too late to regain that which has been lost, The friends of this cause were fully aware of thtvadvantageous workings of the Conservative Asso ciation already existing amongst many of the upper classes, and of the energy and activity of its secretary ; and also of an association which has been formed amongst the operatives; but there was a connecting link to be supplied, to make Vie chain cable entire and fitted for its purposes. That link is now firmly rivetted—it has during the last week been silently forging and tempering, and will be found to possess a strength and elasticity, which will hold in safe anchorage the conservative ship of Bris tol—with its staunch and able commanders, Vyvyan cud Laying metaphor aside :—we were present at a meeting, held on Wednesday evening last, in the Great Room at the White Lion, (sounds never pleasing to whig or liberal ears) of alafut Sou of the must respectable of our fellow tradesmen, assembled together without circular or public notice, but by coincidence of feeling and verbal communication with each other, to consider of the necessary steps to be taken for immediately counteracting the impressions that have gone abroad, that conservatism is in the wane in Bristol, and that the tories are so depressed that they mean quietly to submit to defeat. Neither fear nor des pondency appeared at this meeting—quite the reverse, decision, energy, and activity animated every breast—and every appeal to exertion was responded to with reiterated cheers. l'he speeches that were delivered on the occasion were eloquent and heart-stirring; and being unpremeditated were doubly effective, and were such us would have done honour to any assembly of Englishmen. however talented or exalted. The following decla ration was unanimously adopted : " We f lhe Members of the Bristol Tradesmen's Conservative Society, declare that the object of our Association is the pre servation of the British Constitution in Church and State as by law established; we engage to support the King in his lawful authority and prerogatives; to maintain the independence of the Lords spiritual and temporal, the rights and privileges of the Commons, the integrity, rights, and immunities of the Estab lished Church, and its union with the State; and to secure, by every legal means, the election of men of Conservative princi ples to be our representatives in the Town Council of the borough of the city of Bristol, and in the Imperial Parliament of Great Britain."—Felix Farley's Bristol Journal. FUNERAL OF THE LATE MR. SIMEON. CAMBRIDGE, Nov. 20.—Cambridge has, perhaps, scarcely ever before exhibited a scene so striking and so solemn as that ' of the funeral of this devoted servant of God. The hour fixed for the commencement of the funeral was 10 in the forenoon of yesterday. More than an hour before that time, parties of ladies and gentlemen from among the inhabi tants of the town were seen flocking towards the gates of King's College, all habited in deep mourning, and obtaining admission by means of printed tickets which had been issued ou the two preceding days. Before the appointed hour the hall of King's College was filled with members of the University. The deep est and most solemn melancholy seemed to pervade every face, which was heightened by the sombre black of their dresses and academical gowns, as well as by the peculiar manner in which the cap is adorned when it is made a symptom of mourning; a cockade is formed at the centre of the cap, from which radiate four broad ribands, terminating at the corners of the square ; and on the part which encircles the head small bows are sewn in every direction, so as to cover its surface. It was not until considerably past the appointed hour that the procession issued from the College-hall and combination-room, where the mour ners had assembled. Proceeding from the ball, the procession advanced round the grand quadrangle, walking four abreast; it was headed by the choristers, with their surplices, followed by the scholars and fellows in hatbands of long silk, and large silk scarfs covering their gowns. Last of these came the Provost of the College, Dr. Thacker y, in deep mourning. The princi pal mourner, Sir Richard Simeon, a nephew of the deceased, followed the bier, which was borne upon the shoulders of men ; among the other mourners were the trustees of his livings, anti many of the incumbents that filled them; and the rear was brought up by an immense body of the members of the Univer sity, among whom were the professors, and many of the heads of houses, and a very large number of fellows of colleges and resident masters of arts. Last of all came a long array of un der-graduates, who indeed, though last, constituted from their number, the largest part of the procession. The whole, as they walked closely four abreast round the spacious path that sur rounds the great quadrangle, nearly covered each side,—the number exceeding perhaps 2,000. Afte r p ass i ng b e hi n d t h e fellows' building, the slow-pacing pageant entered the Chapel through the western door, and proceeded at once through the choir. On each side •he visitors, who were not members of the University, the greater part ladies and respectable females, were arranged, and exhibited the deepest and most unaffected grief. The body was placed in the centre of the choir, the mourners arranged on either side; the clergy were accommo dated with the front seats, and the other members of the Uni versity passed on to the eastern side of Chapel; none but these were admitted to join in the procession or to enter the choir : — The funeral service was read by the Provost, in a voice which betrayed at times the deep interest ho felt in the solemn duty; the parts appointed to be sung were beautifully chanted by the choristers of the College, and on the termination of the cere mony the " Dead March in Saul," was performed, with its grand thunders on the organ, by Mr. Pratt, the usual perfor mer. The vault is near the western door, and is already occu pied by others of the senior fellows. It is scarcely possible to conceive the effect of such a scene as this in such a place as the Chapel of King's College, which is literally one of the finest temples of Protestant worship in the world. The whole town throughout the dal partook of the general feeling of mournful solemnity, which still continues to be felt on this day (Sunday ;) the shops were all closed during the ceremony, and a general silent awe pervaded the streets. After the ceremony, a sermon was preached by the Bishop of Lincoln at St. 11Iar)'s ; and this day two others at Trinity Church, of which Mr. Simeon was lately the Rector,—one by Dr. Dealtry, and the other by Archdeacon Hodgson, both of which were heard by many more than the Church was intended to accommodate. An affecting funeral sermon was preached to a crowded con gregation yesterday morning, for the above respected gentle man, by the Rev. Joseph Haslegrave, M.A., at St. Peter's Chapel, lslington.—Standard. COURT OF KING'S BENCH-..TIIURIDAY. THY KING V. THE PROPRIETORS OP THE MANCHESTER GUARDIAN. Mr. Cresswell (with whom was Mr. Peel) said that be bad been instructed, on behalf of Mr. Royds, to apply to their lordships for a rule to show cause why a criminal information should not be filed against the defendants, for a libel published by them upon the character and conduct of Mr. Royds. It would be in the recollection of Lord Denman that two persons had been tried before him upon the charge of having committed a highway robbery on the person of a young gentleman named Royds, who was the son of the gentleman now complaining of the libel in the newspaper. The two prisoners had been con victed and sentenced to death, but that sentence had been changed to transportation. Some persons had interested them selves in procuring a commutation of the pu n ish m e n t, an d among other grounds upon which it was supposed the mercy of the Crown ought to be extended to the prisoners, was one founded upon the alleged confession of some men who had been tried and convicted at Shrewsbury upon a different charge. It was said that the confession of these men clearly exculpated the mete who had been convicted before Lord Denman. As the royal mercy was not at once extended to these prisoners, the defendants chose to alts ibute the circumstance to the improper interference of Mr. Royds, and on the 19th of October there appeared in their paper an article relating to the matter, and reflecting upon his character and conduct in a manner which, if true, would chow kill; to be unworthy of any longer holding the commission of the pence. fbe learned gentleman then re ferred to an article contained in the Manchester Guardian, which at great length went into the question of the guilt or innocence _ o f th e „,„ who who had been convicted of tile robbery upon the younger Mr. Royds, assumed that they were innocent, im peached the justice of the sentence against them, and accused Mr. Royds of having improperly interposed between them and th e m ercy of the Crown. It niserted, " Mr. Royds is a person of wealth and influence, and Ire has used both without hesita tion and without stint." This assertion be most positively denied. The paper tl err attributed to his influence the delay or the refusal of mercy to these prisoners, and said, " It is easy for a man introduced by an influential member of parliament to influence a l e mind of Mr. Capper, and to persuade him that there was no around f r the application for the royal mercy ; " and it then went on to attribute the opposition to party motives, which Mr. Royds also denied. The article then attributed to me. Royds some notice of the matter which hail appeared in Wheeler's .11anchester Chronicle, and, assuming hint to be the author of that notice, criticieed him ,and it very severely. Mr. R„ r ds also denied that he sent Anything to Wheeler's Manches ter Chronicle on this subject, except the correction respecting the number 'of a watch, a part of the property stolen. The or tide then went on to say OW the ears of the Home-office, and of the learned judge who tried the prisoners, had been poisoned by statements which no one had lese right to make than Mr. Royds. That gentleman utterly denied the truth of this he cusation, and felt that as to one part of it he might with confi dence appeal to Lord Denman himself. There had been no ex arninntion of the prisoners convicted at Shrewsbury. This ex• aminat ion was conducted without the presence of Mr. Royds or his son, and had for its object to ascertain how f -tr the confes siuns of those prisoners were to be reli:!d on, That examina tion had been made the subject of misrepresentation by Lilo de fendants, and Mr. Royds was equally accused of " gettitax up " e vidence out of this examination not conformable to the facts a s proved at the trial before Lord Denman. After going through many statements in the paper of the 19th of October, and in another of the 2titii of that month, the learned counsel pressed for his rule, and asked whether it uvula to be tolerated ttiat matters of this kind were thus to he made the subjects of discuetsion in newspapers, and whether the conduct of prosecu ge judges were thus t o b e arrai g n e d by virs and the writers in them ? _ Lord Demean.—We think, Mr. Cresswell, that v , ui brive made chit a ease of imputation being cast on Mr. Royds sufficient to „ w ide you in ti rule on Iris beirdif, hut without 2oing along with you in the latter part of %''ur obaervatioils, fur there may be many cAses in which such discussion would be both proper and rier esso ry. Mr. Cressivell did not mean to deny that.—Rule granted.
