The Rev. Mr. Sib thorp has already returned, and is now resident near Win chester, anxious to resume active ministerial functions. The Rev. Charles Seeger also deplores his secession, and will seek peace of mind in union with the church. His heart ye erns for participation in ministerial duties, from which, as a married man, he is debarred in the church of Rome. Mr. Capes also, like Mr. Sibthorp, went over too suddenly, flying from one position of zeal and love to another—he will return. At all events this is apparent,— that in every case of conversion to Rome there has been some note of singularity cr irregular haste in the con verted.—Globe THE WATERLOO AND PENINSULAR HEROES.—Two exquisite paintings, " The Heroes of the Peninsula," and " The Waterloo Heroes," have been on view during the past week, at Mr. J. R. Keys Repository, Bold-street, and have excited considerable attention. They are painted by J. P. Knight. R.A. ; and whether as historical works of art, or vivid illustrations of events commemorative of the glorious victories of our country, they are worthy of a place in our National Gallery. The Heroes of the Pe ninsula is an admirable production, displaying beautifully executed portraits of His Grace the Duke of Wellington, the Right Hon. Sir George Murray, &c. &c., the former a likeness that at once conveys to the mind all the fine and manlybearing, yet cool and dispassionate temperament of England's great defender. Though there are upwards of thirty portraits in the picture, the grouping is so admi rably managed that, wit!. F. w exceptions, ail are prominent characters; and it is devoid of that jumbling so often found in paintings in which so many individuals are sought to be displr.7 2d. The drawing is good, and the colouring well n ,aged. The glazings are very highly worked, which c,-1. es the flesh a natural and skin-like ap pearance. " The Heroes of Waterloo" is equally talented, and displays the " Iron Duke" receiving his illustrious guests at Apslev House, on the anniversary of the glorious 18th of June. This picture also contains upwards of thirty portraits, and is not only interesting as a congregation of men so famous and honoured in history, but as a picture in which the features of every individual represented may be instantly recognized. The general tone of the painting is good—the objectionable glare of the scarlet military uni• form being well subdued, and the lights and shades, which are effective, beautifully and pleasingly dispersed. The plates after these pictures will be from the graver of C.C. Lewis, Esq., and will, we doubt not, rank with the other meritorious works of that eminent artist. As they will remain on view a few days, we would advise all lovers of the art to see them. - - - - - LOSSES BY SHIPWRECK. —On this point, the evidence of Mr. Somes is valuable. He was induced, on account of the frequent attacks against the mercantile marine, to make a calculation of the comparative losses in the naval and merchant services. From the parliamentary returns he found the men-of - war lost were 1 and 1-10th per cent ; in the merchant service, they are 2 and 1-10th per cent — including the coal, coasting and British American trades, which are peculiarly hazardous. Deducting something for these, he thinks there will be very little difference at last between the two services on the average.—Mr. Sharp on Navigation Institutions at the Outports.

FIRE AT BIRKENHEAD THOMAS MILNER and SON feel gratified in hav ing to communicate the following testimonial given to their Agent, Mr. Law, of Birkenhead, the more se from this being the fifth instance, within a short period, of parties being indebted to their manufactures for their Books being saved from destruction. The fire at Messrs. Walkers' (the extensive Builders) was of most intense character, the offices being completely gutted, and it is obvious that MILNER'S SAFE had had the worst of it from the circumstance of the brass nob of the door being melted, whilst those of the Iron Safe were not, although every thing in the Iron Safe and Drawers was reduced to black tinder. T. M. and S. would earnestly suggest to every one who has a Set of Books or Documents of value, to see this place, inquire into the circumstances, and think and act accordingly. Birkenhead, June 2, 1845 DEAR SIR,—We have much pleasure in bearing unqua lified testimony to the efficiency and important advanta ges of MILNER'S FIRE-RESISTING SAFES and BOXES, in cases of accident from Fire. After the destructive Fire at our Offices this morning, the Books and Papers deposited in the MILNER'S SAFE purchased from you, were found to be entirely uninjured by Fire,'whilst those contained in a strong Iron Safe and Drawers standing beside it, were completely destroyed. We will accordingly thank you to supply us with another SAFE of the same size (No. 4) and description immediately Your obedient servants, J. and W. WALKER Mr. JAMES LATV, Stationer, Birkenhead.

Mr. W. would recommend his painless and effective method of fixing Artificial Teeth by self-adhesion, or ca pillary attraction, requiring neither the use of springs or other fastenings, nor the removal-of Stumps. This plan has now been adopted for sonaiyears by his uncle, Mr. Hair, and the great advastige over every other system has been fully proved by the numerous patients who have already availed themselves of this method. This system may be applied to either Natural or Mineral Teeth, and will answer all the.purposes of articulation, mastication, &c. Mr. W.'s 'newly-invented Mineral Teeth are war ranted never to discolour or decay ; they approach nature so closely as to defy detection, and are so adapted as to be a support to any Teeth that remain, preserving them for years.

ANOTHER SUPPLEMENT WITH - THE STANDARD A Stamped Supplement will accompany the STAN DARD of Tuesday next, which will be continued whenever the pressure on our space requires it. We had intended one for to-day; but anticipate being able to afford more gratification to our readers by the above arrangement. pursuedin South Cheshire; bat there the objector general did not attempt to prop up his case by per jury. On the contrary they attempted perjury in his behalf, one of them swearing in open court that three different signatures placed before him were the same hand-writing, whilst he himself gave the following version of his transactions:— He had signed a portion of the notices for Mr. Latham, and another and much larger portion had been brought to him by the young man above mentioned, who asked him to get them signed. He did not know the young man's name. He brought him so many papers to sign that he could not do them nearly all himself, and therefore he set his two sons to help him, and they all sat down and wrote at one table, as hard as they could. He never looked at the objections signed by his sons, and did not read a quarter of those signed by himself, but he was sure they were filled up with writing of ome kind, he did not know what. He never examined them or compared the copies, and knew nothing of the parties objected to ; but took it all upon trust of the young man who brought the notices. He did not tell his sons to sign objections to any persons in particular, but merely in general terms to help him in writing his name to the papers. Can such a system as this be that which the Legislature contemplated when it gave the power of objecting to voters ? Certainly not. We ask of any honest member of the League party whether he is prepared to justify such infa mous proceedings as those which we have above exposed. And moreover is not the sin of their wretched tool, 'Worthington, the sin of every man who shall henceforth furnish, by his subscription, the wages of Perjury ? To the Legislature, how ever, we turn for protection against this combina tion of seditious men against the constitutional pri vileges of Englishmen. It is not to be tolerated that an irresponsible body should thus be able, by its mercenary tools, to annoy and harass the entire Electoral Body of the Empire ; and if the existing law is not strong enough to repress such unconstitutional proceedings, it is the duty of the legislature to see that its power be reinforced. We regret to state that a diligent inquiry, and the perusal of correspondence from all parts of the country, have brought us, unwillingly, to the con viction that our prospects of an abundant supply of the great staple of life during the present year are anything but cheering. The wheats thus far brought to market are generally in poor condition ; and, although, from the straw, more than an average crop might have been anticipated, the yield in thrashing out is very deficient. The inferiority of the sample to that of last year may be estimated from the fact that, at one of our leading corn mar kets on Saturday last, whilst the price of old wheat was 60 to 66 shillings per parter, that of new was only from 42 to 59 shillings—a proof, at least, that the sample is a very uneven one; and the accounts agree in putting down the major part of the crop— in some districts as much as four-fifths of it — amongst the inferior sorts. So much for the crops already reaped. With respect to those out, in some districts, the pros pects by the last advices are in some districts most distressing, although, we trust, that the genial change which, at the time we write, we are experiencing here may have made its way through out the empire. In many parts of Scotland and the north of England heavy rains and floods appear to have been the distinguishing features of the past week, so far as harvest operations are concerned ; and unless our hopes of change are realised, the re sult to the northern growers must be the most disas trous. Combined with the destruction or injury of a great portion of the potatoe crop—which, how ever, our authorities still warrant us in believ ing to be exaggerated by rumour—we may fairly calculate upon higher prices and the ne cessity of a supply of old wheats from some quarter, to grind with our new of all qualities, and especially with our poor qualities. And the ques tion arises from what source are we to look for it. The markets of the Baltic are swept clean ; and, in the opinion of our most influential merchants, our only resource for supply is the stores in the United States. How far they may be enabled to relieve us from our difficulty we cannot at present calculate. But we may rest assured that whatever we may be able to get from that quarter, we shall have to pay dearly for. We are far from wishing to cast a damp upon the public mind upon this subject, or to say anything which may give occasion to to the enemies of native agriculture to exult over and to found an increased agitation upon. We must, however, for the question involved in our present position,is far too important to be got rid of by the suppression of any facts which may bear upon its solution, bring before our readers a few important facts for their attentive considera tion. We have now had in this country three of the most productive harvests within memory. We commenced at the first of those harvests with about three million quarters of Foreign wheat in our stores ; and at the commencement of the present month, we had only 440,000 quarters of old wheat to fall back upon in case of a deficient harvest. We have consumed in these three years three abundant harvests, and our previous accumulation of three million quarters of Foreign supply. From this fact we do not intend to draw any conclusions ; but it is one nevertheless which will have to be, and deserves to be seriously weighed by all well wishers of their fellow-countrymen and supporters of their coun try's true interests. That Liverpool, considering her vast wealth, has done less towards the promotion of Art and the improvement of the tastes of her population than most other towns, is a fact which we blush to ac knowledge. Even Manchester has its Museum, its College, with a magnificent Library where the student can consult Works, otherwise far beyond his reach, free of charge, its Schools of Design and Literary Institutions for the working classes with out number. Here we may say that our two great Institutions—the Collegiate and the Mechanics — are the whole of our provision for Literature and Science, whilst the Art of Painting is left totally unprovided for—in fact, with difficulty supports itself—and Schools of Design we have none. We hail therefore with pleasure the motion brought forward by Mr. Parker, at the last Coun cil Meeting, not that we are satisfied with the amount proposed to be devoted to the encourage ment of native art, or the mode of its application, hut because the movement comes from the proper quarter, our great Local Body. Now that the sub wet has been mooted there and may be said to he fairly on the carpet, we trust that Mr. Parker will not let it fall asleep. CHRISTIAN UNION.—The preliminary conference to deliberate on the project of Christian union commenced its sittings on Wednesdly. The members ai-semhled were about 250, who met in the lecture-room of the Medical Hall. The Rev. J. A. James, of Birmingham, took the chair on the first day, and the Rev. Edward Bickersteth opened the sitting with prayer. In the after noon the Rev. Robert Woodlyke, of the Established Church in Ireland, commenced the proceedings wth prayer. Ministers of various denominations succeeded by turns, and the sittings of the first day were chiefly occupied in reading the Scriptures and in prayer. Amongst those present were Sir Culling Eardley Smith, Hon. and Rev. Baptist Noel, the Rev. J. Jordan (who was recently reproved by the Bishop of Oxford for presiding at a Wesleyan meeting), and several Dublin clergymen. Amongst the Scottish delegates present were John Henderson, Esq., Convener, the Rev. Dr. Candlish, the Rev. Dr. Cunningham, the Rev. Dr. King, and the Rev. Dr. Wardlaw. It is said that the most sanguine hopes of the promoters of the meeting have been realired, and it is their intention to publi.h a statement of the proceedings, and to hold meetings to make the objects of the conference better known. THE WEATHER.—Since our last publication, the wea ther in this neighbourhood has been exceedingly changeable. On several days, and especially Thursday, and Thursday night, heavy rains fell, with varied temperatures. Sun day, however, was remarkably fine and sunny through out, and yesterday though coldish, was also propitious until evening, when a greet quantity of rain fell. The greater part o, the corn crops in the southern division of this county have been got under cover, and most of what remains is in the stook, there being but little left to cut. Comparatively few of the late potatoes have yet been gathered. Those brought to our markets for immediate use are of good quality. - - - - - The sum of £9O Ils, was collected at the Church for the Blind, for the sufferers by the late fire at Quebec. ENGLISH OPERATIC SINGERS IN AMERICA.—The New York Papers are in ectasies with the first appearance at the Park Theatre of Miss Delcy, and our townsman Mr. F. Gardner, whom our readers will remember as one of the Liver Company, a few years ago. Although American lovers of Opera, fix Malibran, as their stan dard of excellence, Miss Delcy's singing appears to have taken their feelings by storm, whilst of Mr. Gardner, one of their organs, the New York Mirror thus speaks : Mr. Gardne r i s one o f th e b es t tenors we have ever had in this country —some of his notes are positively delicious. If the power of his voice equalled its sweetness, he would be the best tenor on the stage. We know not where Mr. Simpson obtained him—he came unheralded, but be did not require it,—the exquisite morceaux he gave us last night, sufficiently established his reputation, and more than compensated for occasional flaws. He is a gentle manly man, and has a fine gage figure and face. THE CONFERENCE FOR CHRISTIAN UNITY. I TO THE EDITOR OF THE LIVI RPOOL STANDARD, your last number there appeared a letter from the Rev. Joseph Baylee, of Birkenhead, in which he stated certain reasons for not attending the conference recently held in Liverpool, on the subject of Christian union. My object, in now addressing you, is not to enter upon the thorough discussion of the adverse positions laid down by Mr. Baylee, and acquiesced in by twenty-eight of the ministers of the Church of England, but to point out a few of the fallacies which he has advanced, and thus to prevent the public mind from prejudging a question of surpassing importance onvvhich it must ere long pronounce a d2liherate opinion. In all that Mr. Baylee has said adverse to Popery and Puseyism, and friendly to our dissenting brethren, I most cordially concur. The only question between him and me is, what sufficient grounds were there for his declining the invitation to the conference? His reasons, though scat tered through his letter, and reiterated in various forms, may I think be all classed in two divisions. First he says, " The invitation to the meeting expresses no sense of humiliation for our sins and divisions." Now, surely Mr. Baylee cannot believe that the brethren issuing the invitation cherished no sense of humiliation for their sins and divisions. He admits in various parts of his letter that they are men of piety. He therefore virtually admits that t! , ey did cherish such a sense of humiliation, and as to their expressing it, there was this awkwardness in the matter. They were writing to other parties not immaculate more than themselves. To have made allusion to the sins of these other parties would have been ungracious. To have referred particularly to their own would have been to convey the idea that they were sinners above all in Jerusalem. Besides if Mr. Baylee consult the preliminary documents he will find that such a sense of humiliation is both implied and conveyed. But granting there had been a total oversight and omis sion on this point, was that any sufficient ground for his declining a conference with the requiitionists ? He should rather have come forward and shewed the defect, and he would have learned from the heavenly temper and spirit that pervaded the hearts of the brethren, from their many penitent acknowledgments in prayer, and from various personal and collective confessions to each other, which edified and melted the mind of the Conference, that his objection was the mere shadow of a shade. Mr. Baylee's second difficulty is thus expressed : '. We did not think that its objects were practicable in the present state of the church. Unity of action must be the re sult of unity of mind; and we felt that the seven ' denomina tions ' could not agree amongst themselves, much less with the ministers of our national church, as to what Popery, Puseyism, and Scriptural Christianity really are. There would be a cer tain amount of agreement, but there would also be such an amount of disagreement as would be quite sufficient to mar true and vigorous unity of action. We felt that to agree to suppress large portions of what some of us believe to be divine truth is not Scriptural unity." Some of the positions here laid down we flatly deny. Others of them cannot be admitted till we draw cer tain distinctions. It is not the fact that the dissenting brethren of the seven denominations, and the evangelical ministers of the Established Churches are not agreed as to what Popery and Puseyism really are ; neither is it the fact that they are not agreed as to what scriptural Chris tianity really is—that is, if you understand scriptural Christianity to mea❑ those cardinal truths, the know ledge, belief, feeling, and practice of which will, through God's grace, save the soul; and surely any addition which Mr. Baylee as an Episcopalian, or I as a Presbyterian, might make to these, are neither vital nor essential nor fundamental, i❑ the sense in which the cardinal truths that enter into the composition of a Christian's creed must be held so to be. Churchmen and dissenters do in the main agree respecting that doctrine according to godliness which converts sinners and sanctifies believers. They do not differ in their views of that which is indispensible in " Scriptural Christianity." Mr. Baylee further states "Unity of action, must be the'result of unity of mind." Here we must distinguish. Unity of action must certainly be the result of unity of mind as to the particular tiling to be done, and the par ticular mode of doing it, still there may be great diversity of opinion on subordinate points. Christians must agree to resist the devil, and for that purpose they may combine together, though there may be many circumstances connected with the history of that Evil Spirit about which they entertain conflicting ideas. Two leaders of an allied army may be most eager to attack the common foe, yet the one may firmly believe that the opposing force consists of 100,000 men, the other only of 60,000. Mr. Baylee's proposition, in the connection in which it stands, is but sophism polished and pointed. Mr. Baylee thus continues—" There would be a cer tain amount of agreement but there would also be such an amount of disagreement as would be quite sufficient to mar true nod vigorous unity." This is plainly a begging of the question. The conference were invited to meet that they might ascertain whether they could agree. Mr. Baylee assigns as his reason for not attending, that he is persuaded at they could not agree; but they did agree. Hence his premises are a groundless assumption. Another fallacy, and the last which I shall notice, will be found in these italics. We feel that to agree together to suppress large portions of what some of us believe to be divine truth is not Scriptural unity. Mr. Baylee has here committed a total mistake. It was never intended there should be any agreement to suppress one iota of what was held to be divine truth. On the contrary, it was stated again and again that every individual was to be at the fullest liberty to hold and maintain and promulgate (always in a Christian spirit) his particular sentiments on all subjects, sacred and secular. Of course it was under. stood that controverted topics were not to be agitated so as to interfere with the great objects contemplated by the union. But there is a great distinction between not pres sing and suppressing. The one is a negative, the other is a positive matter. Our Lord sanctions this view in re ference to unbelievers when he speaks about casting pearls before swine. Is not the same principle admissible as regards our fellow Christians. If Mr. Baylee were con sulted by a convinced sinner he would not harangue him on the doctrine of election or the value of episcopal or ders. Yet who would brand his silence as a suppression, or abandonment, or compromise of his views ? And so the brethren of the conference have agreed to differ on their disputed points whilst they carry out the views in which they concur. I have thus tried to show that there is little force in Mr. Baylee's arguments. Had I been striving in any other spirit than that of love and meekness, I might legitimately have pushed some of his positions and principles to a point from which I am sure he would be the first to recoil. But in the circumstances such a course might irritate, and could not edify. My object will be amply gained if I succeed in disposing Mr. Baylee and his friends to think more favourably of the principles and de sign of the Conference, and in preparing them to read a detailed account of its proceedings with that impar tiality and interest which the doctrinal truth and noble comprehensiveness of its basis, the importance of its objects, and the distinguished talent, learning, and god liness f many of its members ought to inspire. I am, sir, Your faithful servant, JOHN TOD BROWN, Minister of St. Andrew's Scotch National Church, Rodney•street. Liverpool, October 6th, 1845. EXHIBITION OF THE LIVERPOOL ACADEMY, We have been prevented during the last two weeks from performing our usual duty of noticing this exhibition; and even now, whilst endeavouring to repair past unavoid able neglect, we write under the conviction that our re marks must be as brief as possible. We shall not, there fore, attempt detailed criticism upon any of the paintings exhibited, but content ourselves for the present with di recting attention to a few which appear to us to deserve examination. And first we are bound to notice " The Village Pastor, by W. P. Frith, to which has been awarded the prize of £5O given by the Academy. The subject of this picture may be best described by giving the quotation from " The Deserted Village" at tached to it in the catalogue— "The service past, around the pious man With steady zeal each honest rustic ran, E'en children followed with endearing wile And plucked his gown to share the good man's smile The scene represented is one of great beauty, such as is only to be met with in the secluded parts of happy Eng land, where the infidel philosophy of the present day has not yet reached, and intolerant dissent is unknown. There is a character—a story almost—in every face and figure; and from one only—that of the attenuated face end wasted form of a victim of consumption placed in the foreground—do we turn without an emotion of pleasure. Altogether the painting is one which, its artistical merits apart, is worthy of the position which it occupies. Amongst the portraits in the first room, Geo. Patten, Esq. A.R.A., has one of Edward Gibbons, Esq., painted by subscription for the Liverpool Infirmary, which we need not say is full of character ; another of Harwood Banner, Esq., painted by subscription for the Female Orphan Asylum; and a third, of Mrs. James Aikiu, painted by subscription for the same Asylum, which we prefer to either. Of another painting, by the same artist —" Maternal Love"—we shall speak after more mature examination. Philip Westcott has a beautiful portrait of a lady, done in the rich colouring and boldness which cha racterises his style, and an excellent portrait of Charles Turner, Esq. He has also a painting of the reconciliation of Adam and Eve, of which more hereafter. Midge con tributes a portrait of John Deane Case, Esq., and another of James Montgomery, Esq., author of " The Wanderer in Switzerland," and which gives the character of the poet and the philanthropist admirably. The Worshipful the Mayor of Liverpool, by R. Beattie, does not so much please us. The addition of the robes of office, however, in which we never saw Mr. Lawrence, may alter the cha racter of the figure. There are only two other paintings in this room to which we have now space to refer. One of these is " Portraits of Horses belonging to Daniel Neilson, Esq." by R. Ansdell, which is executed very finely, the colouring and details equally good. We would recommend our readers to examine this fine picture. The other is " The Angels Ithuriel and Zephon finding Satan at the Ear of Eve," by Wm. Huggins, which displays genius of a high order. On Saturday, a man named Daniel Charnley died aw. fully suddenly in a public-house in Tempest 'ley. POLICE SUPERINTENDENTS.--The Watch Committee meet this day, (Tuesday,) for the purpose of appointing three persons to the vacant situations of superintendents of police. One of these appointments will be as superin tendent of divisions, the salary of which is to be £2OO per annum, and the salary of the others £156 per annum each, with clothing in addition. A considerable number of persons have sent in applications, and the committee have since reduced them to ten in number, five belonging to " the force," and five not in " the force," from which they will wake their selection. TO CORRESPONDENTS. A correspondent suggests that the publishers of the Mercury in ann .oricing last week that "their pages contained the greatest quantity of letter-press ever issued from the provin cial press," ought in fairness to have added, at the greatest Ebt Eiberpool gPtanTiarb. TUESDAY MO PRYING, OCT. 7, 1845 The nefarious doings of the Anti-Corn-Law Lea gue, at the Registrations now going on through out the country, are well calculated to raise the question whether the derangement of the whole machinery of our representative system is not en dangered by the continued toleration extended to that Body. At every Revising Court, in every borough and county, we see objections by hundreds and even thousands served indiscriminately upon the Conservative voters, and supported by its paid agents. We see men of undoubted qualification dragged from their houses and business, or from their sickbeds, to endure the badgering of lawyers ; or struck from the lists—robbed of a great consti tutional right—as the penalty of non-attendance. Perjuries the most awtful—perjuries which cannot be unknown to the League's agents—are unhesitat ingly resorted to for the advancement of their objects; and all this the work of a body at whose head are Ministers of Religion, merchants, and gentlemen, otherwise of unimpeachable character, whose personal participation in such practices would draw down upon them the reprorobation of the entire community in which they are now res pected. Is there any honest member of the Lea gue, we ask, who could sleep comfortably in his bed, with the consciousness that he has been a participator—for qui facit per alienurufacit per se— in the getting up of the scene of wickedness we shall here, as briefly as possible, bring before our readers. The locality is the Revising Barrister's Court, for the Northern Division of Warwickshire, in which, indiscriminate notices of objection have been sent, from the League office in Manchester, to upwards of seven hundred freeholders, purporting to be signed by William Worthington, of Cow-lane, Coventry. The first party presenting himself was a gentleman of property, dragged from a sick bed to prove his disputed qualification ; and, on the service of the notice being proved, an agent of the League produced to the court Worthington's writ ten authority, to appear for him and support the ob jection. The objector himself, who is described as "an aged, diminutive decrepit object," was next called, and swore distinctly that the signature " William Worthington" was his hand writing. In cross-examination he was brought to admit his ac quaintance with a certain Benjamin Stafford, who, he said, came to his house whilst he was "a signin of" the notices. Next, he admits that Staf ford " took up a pen and signed some of them ;" and being urged with respect to the number so signed, says "he signed one or two, or two or three," adding, in answer to another question, "he wasn't in the house time enough to sign one hundred." At this stage of the proceedings the man Stafford was brought into the room; and, then, be " can't say that he didn'nt sign two hundred." Ultimately, he "can't swear he didn't sign five hundred," but qualifies the negative admission by adding again "he wasn't in the house long enough to do that." He is then asked the length of time Stafford was in the house, and states that " he came between eight and nine o'clock, and left about half past ten the same night." The following portion of the cross-examination we give at length : Mr. Whateley. Will you swear he was not in your house signing notices until between four and five o'clock the next morning ? The witness here hesitated, he first looked at Mr. Mor.? ris, then at Mr. Whateley, evidently wishing himself at Cow-lane, Coventry. Mr. Whateley. Come, Sir, answer the question. Witness. He was in and out. (Considerable sensation in Court). Mr. Whateley. How many times was he in and out of your house ? Witness He was in and out all night. (Great sensa- Barrister. Why you said he left your house at half past ten o'clock at night. Mr. Whateley. When you told me he left your house between nine and ten o'clock at night,—why did you not say he came back again ? Witness. I didn't just give it a thought. Mr. Whateley. What time did he leave your house for good ? Witness. 1 left him there when I went out Mr. Whateley. What time did you go out? Witness. At five o'clock in the morning. (Great sen sation.) Are not these contradictions made on oath posi tively shocking ? The following portion of Wor thington's statement we must also give, as descriptive of the mode in which the League conduct their Registration business : "Mr. Berry (a Leaguer of course) came into my house, and asked me if I could get a person to assist me to sign the notices ; he asked me if I had got ever a young man in the house wot could write ; asked me if 1 had a son ; he said I should find a person to assist me a bit. I didn't send to fetch Stafford ; I didn't agree for my daughter to fetch Stafford ; I didn't say anything against Stafford being sent for; It was my daughter who suggested Stafford's name. Stafford came in about an hour after Mr. Berry left my house; I didn't send to fetch him; I can't say if Mr. Berry sent for him, or whether he came on his own account ; I can't say whether my son or daughter went for him ; I have no doubt one went for him. I cannot tell how many notices of objection for the Northern Division of this County I signed with my own hand ; I began on a Thursday. I am certain I didn't begin to sign 'em on a Saturday ; I began on a Thursday ; I left off signing on Sunday morning, at five o'clock. I can't say how many I signed that time before I stopped ; I think I signed upwards of a thousand. I can't tell how many Stafford signed ; he signed a many ; I can't tell if he signed five hundred ; I can't tell which of them he signed, they were all mixed together ; what I signed myself. I wrote with a steel peu ; I didn't examine never a one of 'em. I didn't tell Stafford to imitate my hand writing ; I told him to be careful what he was doing on, and to write on the notices " William Worthington,' and nothing else. I didn't tell him to write as ;much like me as he could ; on my oath I didn't tell him to imitate my hand-writing ; I didn't request him to make his writing like mine ; I did lay before him one of the notices I bad signed, and I then said to him, sign like this, and be careful you sign nothing else.' " _ Now, mark the iniquity displayed in this state ment. The League first suborn this wretched old man (according to his own sworn testimony,) to be come their tool, and to lend his name to their host of vexatious notices. Their agent, suggests his having some one—any young man that could write— to sign his name to them. They, thus, must have known that the objections were not what they pur ported to be ; that a large portion of them were forgeries ; and yet they brought the man Worthing ton into court to swear to their genuineness. It may be said, however, perhaps the notice of objection served upon Mr. Osborn, and sworn to by Worthington, was one of those which he signed with his own hand. Alas, there is not even this hole to creep out of, as the following extract from the report of the case will show : Mr. Whateley then produced the notice of objection which Mr. Osborn had received, the signature on which, " William 'Worthington," the witness had previously sworn was in his (Worthington's) hand-writing. Mr. Whateley : lon have sworn, Worthington, that the signature on that notice is in your hand writing. The witness here became greatly embarrassed and con fused, and after looking, first at Stafford and then at Mr. Morris, be tremblingly said, "No, sir, it is not in my hand-writing. (Very great sensation throughout the court.) No wonder there was " very great sensation throughout the court ;" but do we hear any thing of the League agents throwing down their briefs in disgust, after such an admission of the utter worth lessness of their main witness ? One of them, in deed, made a chew of virtue, by declaring that he was "not retained in this case;" but this same gentleman, at the commencement of the same case, produced to the court Worthington's written au thority to appear for him; and throughout, he acted according to the report of the case, which we extract from the Birmingham Advertiser, as Worthington's counsel. And so far from feel ing any disgust at the gro ss perjury of their hireling, they called him on the next 'and suc ceeding cases—in most of which, by the bye , they failed and had to pay the costs for frivolous objections, which came out of the pocket of a Man chester League official, who attended for the pur pose—and at the close of the day's proceedings they provided Mr. Worthington with money to return to Cow-lane. The same course of wholesale objection has been ------- 2 f 12 LAST NIGHT'S MAIL' MARK LANE CORN MARKET-YE- sTER -- m o T r li n e i supply ngsm a o r e E t n w g English hmwo moderate, ebytl,aend-ca conditionri ag e bad,sallpPtrlaincirartelli from Kent; the whole sold readily at a rise of 25. meets an upon the prices of this day sen night ; free foreign fnee .
