TO CORRESPONDENTS. 'Though we are not disposed to question the propriety of much that is advanced by "Economy," yet it must be remembered that Parlian.eit has engaged to provide annuities for the Royal Family in exchange for the hereditary estates of the crown, which, though now the property of the nation, were formerly as much the bont2 fide private property of the crown as that of any individual in the kingdom. The assertion, therefore, that the Royal Family are made magnificent out of the hard earnings of the poor, is a positive untruth. What is the fact? Simply that the Royal Family has made a bar gain, bad for itself but highly advantageous to the nation. "The returns on the table," said Sir Robert Inglis, the other day, "showed that from the accession of George HI. to the close of the reig❑ of William IV., the sum received from those branches of the public revenue formerly vested in the Sovereign, amounted to i'118,000,000, while the sum granted by Parliament to members of the Royal Family amounted to no more than £69,000.000, legving a balance of £49,000,000 of gain to Parliament." Ebe Eibtrpool &tantiarb, TIE LITEEPOOL STANDARD. TUESDAY MORNING, JULY 30, 1850. THERE can no longer be any doubt in the minds of reasonable people with respect to the importance of retaining the shipbuilding trade, and those con nected with it, upon one or other bank of the Mersey. These trades are capable of employing a working population of at least 25,000 persons; and two important questions suggest themselves for the consideration of the Council,—shall we make some exertion to provide such accommodation in Liverpool, or appropriate the Corporation property in Birkenhead for the purpose ? To allow the business to be taken from the locality altogether is out of the question. It would be wanton folly to throw away sources of employment, and of profit able remuneration to the owners of property within the Borough, if by any reasonable sacrifice they can be retained in the neighbourhood. That there are difficulties in the way of providing for the shipbuilding trade on this side of the river we are well aware,—difficulties, however, which we have made for ourselves. There is some show of reason also in the arguments used for availing our selves of the property which we own on the Cheshire shore. Our estate on that side must in some way be brought into profitable use. It can boast of the possession of bold water, fit for launching purposes; and the site is readily approachable for the other trades dependent upon shipbuilding. Mr. John Laird reminds us that for the fitting up of some ninety vessels, built in Birkenhead during the past few years, not less then ..€400,000 have been ex pended in Liverpool; and it is agreed that, hence, we shall still derive a vast benefit, even supposing our shipbuilding yards are transferred to the Cheshire side. But the fact is indisputable that, in the first instance, the operatives engaged in shipbuilding must inevitably he removed to Birken head. Temporarily our carpenters and others might remain on this side; might occupy Liverpool pro perty and pay Liverpool rates and taxes ; but a permanent removal of the trade to Birkenhead would drive the population employed by it to be come permanent residents in the neighbourhood where their living is earned. Some thousands of rated dwellings in Liverpool would he emptied of their present tenants; and a large area of paying cottage property be converted into a scene of deso lation. Such would he the first effect produced ; but the injury to Liverpool interests would not stay here. The trades subsidiary to shipbuilding would certainly not remain in Liverpool long after the parent trade had left it. Our ropers, blockmakers, sailmakers, engineers, and othere would follow the shipbuilders to their newly adopted locality. Ship repairing would follow shipbuilders as a natural consequence; and then the question would arise— can the Corporation of Liverpriol accommodate all these trades upon their own Birkenhead property ? We think they cannot. However we doubt much whether it is in our power to accommodate even the shipbuilding trade upon the river frontage of our property in Birken head, without doing serious injury to our other property in the locality. For example, the Corpo ration own some valuable household property in Church-street, Birkenhead, in Mersey View, snd the neighbourhood, which is let to respectable tenants. How many of these will remain in their present residences if they are to have the clatter of builders' and boiler-makers' yards in their immedi ate vicinity? Again, where shall we provide dwell. ings for the operative population employed ? We have no land for the purpose. They must avail themselves of such sites as the land speculators of Birkenhead can afford them. Do our utmost, and the issue must be that we must damaged the Li verpool ratepayers, and rob our Corporate Estate. In one way only can we account for the evident anxiety of some of our authorities to convert to shipbuilding purposes our .Birkenhead property. There appears to be a marvellous lack of suggestive power as to what to do with it. That it ought to be brought into profitable use is certain ; but to use it as antagonistic to the Corporate Estate on this side of tlje water strikes us as suicidal and absurd. For what is the Corporate Estate on the Liver pool side of the Mersey ? We have already said in a preceding article upon this subject that it em braces, from three fourths to four-fifths of an area comprised within a line running up Dale-street, along Low-hill, Edge-hill, and from Windsor to the boundary of the Park. Within this area we have heretofore accommodated with dwellings the bulk of the persons engaged in the shipbuilding trade of the port, and those connected with it. Here we have the cottage residences of our opera tives, the shops of our sailmakers and smiths, our ropemakers, our blockmakers, and a host of other trades connected with shipbuilding. Take these men from their present holdings, and what becomes of the value of the property occupied by them ? Again we lose not only our shipwrights, and other operatives, but a number of other respectable tradesmen and shopkeepers dependent upon them. Already we have seen the effect produced by the decline of the trade both at the north and south ends of the town—the latter especially. Some hundreds of comfortable court and cottage houses, in the streets east of the Queen's and Brunswick Docks, as well as further southward, are at present unoccupied, or have families living in them rent free to keep them from dilapidation. The small shopkeepers and publicans are half of them mine]; and the injury extends even to property of a better class in the upper streets of the locality. At the north end the effect of the removal of the building and boiler yards has been somewhat mitigated by the demand for dwellings for the masons, exca vators, and others employed in the construction of the new docks, and by the expenditure of their earnings in the locality. A considerable number of these men, however, have already been turned off, and a further reduction is being made, which must operate most injuriously to owners of pro perty and tradesmen in the neighbourhood. Considerable stress, we believe, has been laid upon the cheaper rate at which land for ship building purposes can be afforded in Birkenhead ; and it has been asked—would you give a bonus to parties establishing themselves on this side by granting them sites at half or a third their real value ? We say to this question—decidedly, yes ; we would make this sacrifice, if found necessary, to enable us to retain the trade, which, however, is not to the extent assumed. It must he borne in mind that the question is not one for the trades men.of the town, or the private owners of property alone, but for the corporation itself as the largest owner. It is a serious thing to contemplate a per manent reduction of some thirty per cent in the corporate property—in the rental of houses and fines upon renewals of leases—in the revenue of our public markets and the yield of our water rents ; yet such reduction must inevitably follow the transfer of a large portion of our working population to the Cheshire side of the Mersey, or the loss of the trade from this locality to some other port. We owe it to the bondholders of the corpo rate estate to see that their security as a whole is not lessened in value ; and, if we can do this by voluntarily giving up some three or four thousands a year to retain in the locality the most important trades of the port, we ought to make the sacrifice cn prudential grounds. We could readily save the amount by eschewing in future such expensive I . obbies as St. George's Hall or the Rivington Pike scheme. But we much question whether, after all, the question is one of comparative cheap ness so much as of convenience. Provide ample space, and a Graving Dock to each building yard ; afford proper accommodation for our engineers, and thus enable machinery for large seagoing steamers to be fitted in the locality where they are built, and we have no hesitation in predicting that such premises on this side of the river would be preferred even at higher rents than are paid else where. Liverpool is the natural site of the ship building trades, as indeed it is of the entire com merce of the port. We prefer loading our ships on this side of the Mersey. All the blandishments which have been held out to us by our Cheshire neighbours have failed in inducing more than a few solitary vessels to load in their docks. And if men thus prefer to have their ships loaded under their own eyes, or those of their servants, within a few minutes walk cf their offices, of the Custom House, of the ship chandlers, of the bonded and other warehouses, surely the shipowner must also prefer to have the vessel, upon whose construction he is expending thousands, equally under his daily supervision. The same preference to this side would be given by the operative classes themselves, whose associations, connexions and habits, wed them to Liverpool as their natural home. The bulk of the earnings of the operatives at present located in Cheshire find their way to Liverpool, to be spent in our shops and public markets ; and such would be the case for years to come were the shipbuilding trades transferred to Birkenhead altogether. We look upon it as utterly improbable that any other trades are likely, as suggested, to replace those which it is proposed to transfer to the Che• shire shore. Where can such trades be found ? We are not likely to see the cotton manufacture more extensively introduced here ; and at the south end of the town there are no conveniences for it— no water power. The chemical manufacture we have already driven as far out of the town as pos sible, and crippled those engaged in it by all sorts of restrictions. The only probable result of a neglect to provide accommodation for our ship wrights must be permanent deterioration, and, indeed, destruction of a large mass of the rateable household and shop property of the town. What must he the effect upon those parties whose avoca tions bind them to remain in our central thorough fares, or within the borough, at a convenient distance from our docks and offices? What, in especial, must be the effect upon our vast piles of warehouse property ? It must be a very serious. increase of our parochial and other local burthens. Let it be borne in mind that when sending our able bodied working men to contribute to the rates and the rental of Birkenhead, we do not get rid of any portion of the existing pauperism of the borough of Liverpool. We do not lessen one iota the pressure of casual pauperism. Ireland will continue to send us her hordes of mendicants, her crime, and her disease. We shall have the same police and prisons to maintain ; and gas rates, water rates, having and highway rates will fall with an increased pressure upon our heads for every ratepayer that crosses the Mersey. We shall see every family which can get away to the outskirts hurrying off in all directions to avoid an infliction of taxation, which will have become utterly unbearable. Let the ratepayers of Liverpool look to it in time, and by their remonstrances against the present policy of the Council prevent any further steps being made in a direction so ruinous to the best interests of the town. We have great pleasure in giving due promi nence to a portion of the speech delivered by Sir Robert Inglis, whilst protesting against the admis sion of Baron Rothschild as a member of the House of Commons. The Right Hon. Baronet deserves, as he will receive, the gratitude of Chris tian men for the following manly expression of ids sentiments : Baron L. N. DE ROTHSCHILD was introduced to the house, being conducted from the bar to the table by Mr. J. A. Smith and Mr. P. Wood. He handed in his qua lification to the clerk, and then, being asked how he would be swam. Baron ROTHSCHILD said—l desire to be sworn on the Old Testament. Sir R. H. INGLIS, who sat on the front seat of the opposition benches, in that place usually occupied by the late Sir Robert Peel, rose and said in a voice that quivered with emotion, " I protest against it." This declaration was followed by loud cheers, and cries of " withdraw." Baron Rothschild bowed to the SpeaEer, and then withdrew behind the bar. Sir R. H. Isous then proceeded to address the house, and his manner was marked with much agitation as he (lid so. My belief, sir, is that I distinctly heard the words pronounced, " I desire to be sworn on the Old Testament." (" Hear, hear," from members on both sides of the house.) Then I was not mistaken. (Cries of " No, no.") From the time that this has been a Christian nation, and this a Christian legislature, no man has ever used such words as these; no man—l do not mean to apply the word offensively—but no man, I say, has presumed to claim a seat here, unless he took, and was prepared to take, when required to do so, his seat under the solemn sanction and invocation of the nstrilo of our common Redeemer ( hear) ; and it not upon that book in which we all believe, yet upon that which was at least the symbol of our common Redeemer. (Hear.) I do not undervalue—God forbid I should--the Old Tes• tament ; but if the hon. individual who came to that bar had asked to be sworn upon the Bib!e, with my knowledge of what his opinions are, I would have felt bound to object to it, as 1 know that he rejects a part of that blessed book; but now lie has asked for a different thing. We have not the Old Testament in our collection. (Cheers.) The Old Testament may be found is courts of criminal judicature ; and if this was a court of crimi nal judicature, and the hon. individual were called before it as a witness, the case would be entirely different. (Hear, hear.) But in this instance the hon. individual claims a right to legislate tor our Christian Church, and still a Christian people, and I for one never will giva my assent to him doing so. Much speculation exists as to what course the House of Commons may take in this matter, and the result of one alternative which may be adopted is thus pointed out in the Herald of yesterday : " Let the House of Commons plunge into any depth of absurdity and contempt that it likes,—there stands the oath, still,—` on the true faith of a Christian.' The House of Commons cannot erase those words from the oath without the consent of the House of Lords; and Mr. Rothschild must pronounce and sign them before he can take his seat. What will be gained, therefore, by getting the house first to begin swearing the candidate i n as a Jew and then reject him because lie is a Jew,—except making the house look ridiculous—it is not very easy to discover." DURING the past week the Wesleyan body have held a meeting to consider the question of reform, which at present agitates the mind of every mem ber of that community. The speeches delivered on the occasion lead to the inference that the con claves, whence proceed the dicta which are to regulate the operations of the community, are quite opposed in constitution and character to that spirit of unpretending piety which has always been con tended for by this sect. The recent acts of Con ference were calculated to afford a profitable lesson to the whole christian world, while they may im press the minds of the members of their own com munion with the most serious alarm. In those acts we see the consequences of permitting the clerical management of the temporalities entrusted to their charge, and in the affairs of their church or sect generally. Tyranny and oppression must perforce be the result wherever the clergy, or any other body of men, are intrusted with irresponsible power; where there is no appeal from the decisions of such a synod, the judgments may be expected to bear an arbitrary character. It was the boast of Wesleyans that they repudiated any such alliance as that which subsists between the National Church and the Crown: their s':rength consisted the humility of their ministers, and the apostolical character of the plain rules which were to guide their teachers, and direct the officers of the whole community. How hate these expectations been answered ? Little more than a century has elapsed since the sect was heard of, and yet it is re t by unforeseen contentious. By degrees their ministers have monopolised the whole executive power, and now they are charged with exercising greater tyranny over their flocks than even the Romish priesthood. We have no intention of criticising the sincerity or piety of the body of Wesleyan preachers ; on the contrary, we believe them to be an exemplary and industrious body of Christian men ; but we contend that the much-lauded sys tem known as Methodism lacks the essence of universality and perpetuation. As long as it con sisted of a few devout christians, scandalised—we are ready to allow—by the apathy of the National Church at a time when she really slumbered, it carried with it a blessing, but when it set about modelling a church after its own fancy, and that, too, when the necessity for separation no longer existed, the scene was changed. Its teachers, originally untutored men, aspiring no higher than to the na me o f th e most f ervent see k ers a f ter t rut h amidst those w h o were v i rtua ll y d e b arre d f rom dis charging these obligations, where alone they should have . been performed, w ith th e e l eva ti on o f th e i r position society, naturally languished for that station enjoyed by the national clergy; in pursuing this course they have overshot their aim. It was impossible that the imperfect and crude system to which they were attached could ever give them that subordinate and well - poised, yet cer t a i n an d f u ll, power which is the legitimate right of the national clergy, and therefore they seem to have c om bi ne d to usurp a control over their flocks that effectually confutes all the pretensions of the sect to the liberty of which they have so loudly boasted, and belies their repudiation of priestly power. THE steady rate at which the stock of gold in the world is being increased, is at length creating misgivings in the minds of its worshippers, as a money, with respect to the permanence of its rela tive value to commodities. Every advice which reaches us from California brings confirmation of the fact of its abundance. It is diffusing itself rapidly along the shores and amongst the islands of the Pacific, giving an impetus everywhere to speculation and to commercial enterprise ; and it has at length begun to shew its effects throughout the length and breadth of the American continent, and is rapidly extending its magical influence to Europe itself. In every country where it is recog nized as a money, or a measure of value, it is extending the quantity of the circulating medium, and lowering the rate of interest. Crises and panics are being regarded as things of remote pos sibility, so long as the golden stream keeps pouring upon us from the El Dorado in the West. The n United States, with a balance of trade against her, for which she has to find specie remittances, expe riences no difficulty and no inconvenience ; for notwithstanding such remittances, which under other circumstances would have produced severe monetary pressure, and sacrifice of every descrip tion of produce and valuable securities, money continues abundant in supply, and the rate of inte rest lower in that country than ever it has rated for any lengthened period. Every authority upon the subject is now prepared to make the admission that this influx of gold to Europe, and to Great Britain in particular, is likely to continue for some time to come. Not only does it pour upon us from the west, but Russia is largely augmenting her production ; and additional golden discoveries are being made in nearly every quarter of the globe. Only a few weeks ago we heard of Australia being added to the gold-pro ducing regions ; and but yesterday we had tele graphic news from Constantinople of the opening of a mine in the Sultan's dominions. What must he the issue of this state of things ? There can be but one, viz., a gradual but extensive change in the relative value of money—gold—and the com modities of which it forms the legalized measure. What is a pound ? is about to become more than ever a perplexing question. True, it may remain fixed as 123 grains of gold of a given fineness ; but will it exchange for its former quantity of labour, or commodities ? Certainly not, if there be any truth in the doctrine of political economy. We shall see land, houses, property, and produce of every description enhanced in price, as measured in gold, or currency based upon the .possession of gold. The relations of debtor and creditor must undergo a complete revolution, in which the latter at length will find himself to be the victimized party. The disorganisation produced throughout the commercial affairs of the world will he precisely similar to that, which would take place if the legal yard were by some freak of nature to be reduced to thirty inches, or the pound avoirdupois to twelve ounces. We have for some time been prepared for seeing our bullionists in this precious dilemma. Hitherto the stock of their idolized measure of value has been a tolerably well ascertained quantity, and its natural worth as unchanging as any commodity which could have been selected as a circulating medium. The lynx-eyed money monger could watch its ebb and flow from country to country for the purpose of regulating exchanges and liquidating adverse balances of trade ; and out of the alter nating scarcity and abundance thus produced they have been enabled to reap rather profitable harvests, and at every turn of the screw to sweep into their own pockets the fruits of their neighbours' perse vering industry and enterprise. This game, how ever, seems at length to be approaching to an end. A good Providence has stepped in to release the world from the thraldom in which a cunningly devised system had held it so long. There are more kings and queens in the pack than when the cards were first dealt, and the calculations of the astute player are baffled. The diggings are pro ducing gold sufficient to enable us to settle our foreign balances without deranging our home cir culation. America can pay for an occasionally increased import of Manchester goods without sacrificing her cotton, her grain, or her provisions ; and Great Britain is rapidly reaching a position which will enable her to sustain a potato rot, or a deficient harvest. without haying to sacrifice him dreds of millions of her realized-capital, or to sus pend fora season the exercise of the industry of her people. As the basis of a currency for conducting even an extended commerce we have now in pros pect gold in sufficient quantity_ Bye and bye we shall contemplate its influx to ow shores with any thing but pleasurable feelings—with the certainty, in fact, a doleful one for men of mere money and of fixed incomes, that they will be called upDn to pay an increased number of their worshipped pounds for every article of necessity or comfort, whether of foreign or domestic production, which they require. The fact is undeniable that the direct_ effect of any great increase in the stock of gold in the world must be to raise the price of every other article, as measured in gold. By making it a money we enable any variation in its supply to disturb the whole social and commercial system of the world, to alter the relations of debtor and creditor, and change the nominal value of labour and of pro perty of every description. Keep it solely as a commodity; and an extra or deficient supply would have no more effect in producing such social and commercial disturbance than an extra or deficient crop of cotton, or sugar, or any other article. And in a movement in this direction—the stripping of •this metal of its fixed value as money—lies, we feel convinced, our only resource in the difficulty which is before us. We observe, indeed, that the London Times, at length convinced of the reality of the Californian abundance of the precious metals, is contemplating as the result a reduction of the interest paid upon the national securities; and the able writer of the monetary article in the Liverpool Albion expresses a similar view. We cannot at all see its reasonableness or justice. If the value of the pound is being depreciated, how can we propose to give to the national creditor only two-and-a-half of those depreciated pounds for his claim of three pounds of full value ? Or by what process is the principal of our three per cents to be so enhanced in nominal value as to render such an operation as a reduction of interest practicable. We can account for real property or produce of every description being raised in price, as afford ing more solid and permanent value than a mere security for depreciated pounds ; but few, we sus pect, would be disposed to reverse the operation, and give more than its present price for a security, the interest derivable from which is daily decreas ing in its command over commodities. We shall wait with some little interest for the result of the debate upon the subject likely to arise upon the motion announced by Colonel Thompson for this evening. We can scarcely gather from its terms the precise opinions of the gallant Colonel upon the subject. But it is obvious that along with some others of his school he is at present a little ill at ease upon the whole subject ; that the money cl:a g rs of Lombard street are beginning to feel the pressure of the Californian discoveries upon their once thriving trade ' • and that the entire question of the currency will shortly be re-opened by the very party who have all alongso obstinately defended their favourite dogmas. Another interesting speculation suggests itself connected with this movement, viz., what would have been the course pursued by the late Sir Robert Peel, the author of our present system, under existing circumstances? and whieh of our present ministers will step forward to assume his mantle, and to defend his favourite system ? It will be seen that a meeting will take place in the Lecture-hall of the Mechanics' Institution to morrow (Wednesday) evening, when Mr. Copway, late an Indian Chief, and now a devoted Christian Minister, will give some important and interesting details connected with a scheme which he has in view, fraught with great advantages, spiritual and temporal, to thousands of our fellow-creatures. We sincerely hope he will receive the attention which his people merit justly at the hands of a nation which by its legislature has robbed and expatriated them. Mr. Copway will remain in this town until the close of the week, when he will proceed to London, Manchester, &c., and thence to Frankfort. He will return here early in November, when he purposes delivering a course of lectures on subjects of a very attractive character. JULLIEN AGAIN AT THE ZOOLOGICAL GARDENS.—We learn that it is most probable that Mons. Jullien will ap. pear again at these Gardens on Monday next, when those disappointed of their expected treat by the unfavourable weather of Friday last, will be enabled to hear his unri valled baud. THE AMERICAN INDIANS. Yesterday morning a meeting was called to be held in the cotton sales-room, for the purpose of hearing a state ment from the Indian chief, now in this country, Kah-Ge-Ga-Gah-Bowh, or Geo. Copway, respecting the condition of the Ojibway Indians of America, relative to a plan for forming them into a settled nation on the east bank of the Missouri. Mr. Copway, who was a chief of the Indian Ojibwa) , nation, was some years ago con verted to Christianity, and became a preacher attached to the Wesleyan body, attended divine service on Sunday morning at the Wesleyan Chapel, Birkenhead, and in the evening at the Brunswick Chapel, Moss-street, in this town, where he delivered two impressive sermons. It appears from a paper circulated in the room, being an address to the American nation, that the visit of Mr. Copway to this country is in connecJon with an object which he has been for some time labouring to accomplish —the concentration of the Indians of the north-west upon territory to be purchased by the free contribution of the American people. His applications to the Government of the United States, on the subject, have been futile, and he now appeals to the people themselves. Mr. Copway's proposals are embodied in the following plan :—The In dians in the north-west, consisting of about 100,000 souls, to be concentrated upon territory to be set apart to their use in perpetuity, by the Government of the United States, one hundred miles north of Council Bluffs, on the east bank of the Missouri river. The territory thus given to be one hundred and fifty miles square. A Go vernment to be at once organised by the appointment of a Governor, (who shall be a white man), Lieutenant- Governor and Secretary of State, by the President of the United States. A Territorial Council to be elected by the different tribes, in proportion to their population, which Council shall pass all laws needful for the govern ment of the whole people, subject to the veto of the Governor. The lands to be distributed, free of cost, to the Indians. subject to such regulations of transfer and limitation as the Council shall establish, one of which, however, mast be, that it shall never be transferred to white men. Common schools and higher seminaries of learning to be established throughout the territory, a lead ing branch in all of which shall be the science and prac tice of agriculture. White residents to be excluded, except such as shall be employed by the United States and Territorial Council. For the first few years the ter ritory will be represented at Washington, by a Commis sioner to be appointed by the Council. Mr. Copwav anticipates that in process of time, this Indian territory will apply for admission into the Union as a State ; and bec3me an integral part of the great confederacy. The meeting yesterday was very thinly attended, but amongst those present we noticed the Rev. J. H. Stafford, of St. Paul's ; the Rev. C. M. Birrell, Baptist Minister ; W. Rathbone, Rich. Rathbone, Rushton. Esqrs., &c. The chair, shortly after eleven o'clock, was taken by Mr. W. RATHBONE, who said that it was owing to various circumstances,—the arrival of the packet with American letters—the shortness of the notice—and morning meet ings being inconvenient in a mercantile community— that so few were present. It was therefore deemed advisable that Mr. Copway should not go widely into the matters he had to lay before the public, but should re serve the greater part of what lie had to say for Wednes day, when a public meeting would be called in some more convenient place, of which notice should be given as early as practicable. He ( Mr. Rathbone) had been induced to take the chair on the present occasion in order to afford Mr. Copway an opportunity of exphining his views ; but in so doing he begged to state that the address which had been circulated was an address to the people of the United States, and not intended for general circulation in this country. It was far from their wish to interfere with the government of America, or to undertake a business which did not property belong to them. Neither did they intend to read a lesson in morals to the Americans. Their object was to read a lesson where it was much more needed—at home, for the conduct we, as a nation, had pursued to wards the aborigines, whom we had first invaded, then degraded, and after that deprived them of their territory. On this subject he trusted the British public would awaken to a sense of their sins, and do all they could to save the remnant now left. ( Hear.) The speaker concluded by introducing Mr. Copway to the meeting. Mr. COI WAY then came forward to address the meet ing. As he had only a very short time to address the meeting in, he should merely give an outline of the pro ject, which was, in his opinion, the only means of securing a country for his native brethren in their native country. As the chairman had already stated, the address which had been sent to several in Liverpool, was merely an ad dress to the people of the United States. It was not his intention to complain of the conduct of that government, or to interfere with any particular government, but the universality of doing good was so broad and extensive that there was no limit to it, and the right to do good was so universally admitted that mankind acknowledged the brotherhood of all men, end it was on that ground that he appeared before them to explain the plan lie had endea voured to form for the benefit of the Indian. (Cheers.) The speaker then in forcible language depLted the aggres sions which had been made upon his brethren, the Ojib ways, who had been continually driven westward ever since the white man, or pale-face, as he was called, had begun to settle in America. Oflate years, however, efforts had been made by various societies in the new world, as well as in the old, to ameliorate their cmdition, and al though some good had been done, yet not so much as was expected. ( Hear.) Naturally, the Indian was a native genius. He easily acquired a knowledge of the arts and sciences as pracuseu oy the American people, atm quicalv obtained education, but the kind of civilisation which had been introduced, so far from being beneficial, had been injurious, and had induced them to become reckless. The white man had gone on acquiring territory—being greedy of gain, and whether right or wrong was no great conse quence in his estimation. They had introduced disease and intoxicating liquors, and whilst in a state of intoxica tion had caused one tribe or nation to raise the war-whoop against another, until both were almost destroyed. He next referred to the fact, that so soon as the Indian had been induced to settle quietly down, had acquired the arts of agriculture and science, and when his land was just be ginning to be valuable to him, then, on the argument of necessity and the strong law of might, he was deprived of it. Missions that had been established were abandoned, schools and seminaries of learning had been broken up, and he was obliged to remove further westward ; seeing, therefore, that whatever improvement he might make in his land would be of little use to him—he was compelled to dispose of it. Many had returned to their old habits of living by the chase. This had been the continued conduct of the American government ever since the days of Jefferson. Not less than 97,000 Indians had been driven across the Missouri twice, and before long, unless something was done, they would either be exterminated or driven across the rocky mountains. The speaker then glanced at the reasons why it would be dis advantageous to allot them a certain district of country where they might be formed into one community, and be taught the arts of agriculture and civilization, and where ultimately they might form an additional state to the Union. The portion of land he had chosen was a district not yet settled, known as the north-west territory, be tween the territories of Nebraska and Minnesota, on the eastern banks of the Missouri. The great Sioux river being, at the eastern boundary from its head waters, on a line westward to the Missouri. This would form an Indian territory large enough for all the scattered tribes of Michi gan, Wisconsin, lowa, &c. After stating that he had ceased to continue officially as a preacher in the Wesleyan body, on the ground that he might do more good by ap pealing to the people on the broad basis of humanity and justice, be proceeded to observe that he had no doubt the plan would ultimately be successful. He had visited since last year no less than 17,000 Indians, and found them be ginning to be alive to their interests. Most of them bad stated that if a territory were allotted to them, they would take their wives and children and their all, and go and settle in that country, and teach their children agriculture, together with arts and science and education. He was proud to say he was born a British subject. He belonged to a portion of Canada under the sway of the sovereign of England. Ile that country there were now twenty-three Indian villages under this country ; they were now form ing their houses, had formed a boys' school, and were about to establish one for girls. The reason why they were thus settling was because they believed they were not likely to be removed. (Hear.) The Speaker con cluded with an expression of anxious solicitude for the welfare of the Indian, whom lie should ever meet and welcome as a brother. (Cheers.) The CHAIRMAN, after expressing his thanks to Mr. Copvtay for his able address, urged on those present to invite their friends to the meeting on Wednesday (to morrow) evening, in the Lecture-hall of the Mechanics' Institution. The company then separated. The Marchioness of Stafford was safely delivered of a son and heir on Saturday. The Duchess of Kent paid a visit to the Queen at Os borne on Saturday. Sir Robert Peel has relinquished his post of charge d'affaires, at Switzerland. Preparations are making for blowing up, by gunpowder, the cliff at Seaford.

An immense quantity of oysters, a thing unprecedented at this season of the year, arrived at Billingsgate on Mon ‘lay, in six large vessels, and at Hungerford in one. At Durham assizes, on Saturday, several persons pleaded guilty to indictments, charging them with keep ing houses of ill fame. They were bound in recogni zances to appear for judgment when called on.

IMPORTANCE OF CAUTION IN THE USE OF CRANES. —To-day, inquests will be held on the bodies of two men, whose deaths have been occasioned by a blow from a winch, not at the same time, but under similar circum stances, though in different places. One is the c a s e of . Charles Lavery, a porter the service of the City of Dublin Company, who died in the Northern Hospital, on Sunday. Particulars appeared in our last pubic ition. The second case is that of a man named Michael Fagan, who died in the Infirmary, on Sunday. He was employed at Messrs. Finch and Willey's foundry, Windsor, and was assisting another man to lower an immense weight of castings, when, for some purpose, his comp an i on l e ft the crane, the winch being secured by the chain in the usual way. It is supposed deceased interfered with the ma chinery ignorantly, as the chain was heard to run down, and the man was found prostrate apd senseless under the weight of castings. LIVERPOOL PROVIDENT CLERKS' ASSOCIATION. The first annual public meeting of the Liverpool Provi nent Clerks' Association was held last evening in the Ses sions-hoWe, :Chapel-street. The object of the meeting was to receive the report from the directors and auditors, and to elect directors and auditors for the ensuing year. At the hour appointed for opening the meeting ( seven o'clock) not many persons were present, but on the Mayor taking the chair at ten minutes past seven, the number had somewhat increased. His Worship the Mayor having been moved to the chair, expressed the great pleasure which he had in presiding on the occasion in support of a society which he believed was calculated to do a great deal of good. He then called upon the secretary, Mr. W. J. Poole to read the report, which was as follows : FIRAT ANNUAL REFORT. "In presenting this, the first annual report, the directors would beg to premise, that they have anxiously endeavoured to establish the society upon a scale befitting the high and import ant position which Liverpool holds, and to meet the require ments of the various classes of clerks in the town ; that they have met with much kind encouragement from many leading. firms, and obtained numerous promises of assistance and sup port in furthering the objects of the institution. The directors have to report that, during the last seven months, 85 members and assurers have joined the association, and that the interest taken in the affairs and well-being of the society has gradually increased, and is still increasing. They. at the same time, beg to remark that, although the society has been twelve months in existence, yet it could not be said to be fairly before the public, un'il Octoter last, and consequently that it could scarcely be expected to have many members, or to have made much pro gress. The directors are also aware that many persons have paused to ascertain whether the society would attain to its annivenuary, and numbers have promised to become members, provided the institution stood that test,—a course which, although cautious, is somewhat ungenerous towards those of their own body who have so earnestly and anxiously exerted themselves to form the society for the benefit of all, and more especially as no personal risk could be incurred by those who avail themselves of its advantages—the funds of the association alone being liable for its engagements; this oversight, the di rectors hope their brother clerks, for the credit of the town, will remedy by immediately becoming members. The direc tors would also urge the claims of the society upon parties who are not clerks, as a means of making pi ovision against times of sickness, for old age, and on death ; the tables being calculated upon the lowest scale possible, consistent with safety. It should be borne in mind that the members and assurers are the shareholders, and will participate equally in the periodical division of all profits: also. that the greater the number of assurers, the larger will be the amount of such profits divisible. In submitting the accompanying statement of the year's ac counts, it is necessary to observe that three members have ex perienced the full advantages or the sick assurance, independ ently of many others who have received medical assistance only." . _ _ The report then acknowledges the eminent services of Dr. Shain, the medical officer, of Mr. Davenport, the chairman of directors, and of Mr. Macgregor, as an assistant at the audit. The finances of the association appear to be in a very satisfactory condition, and the accounts are kept in a very clear and praiseworthy man ner. Among the donors and annual subscribers are the Earl of Harrowby, Edmund Molyneux, E.q. ' Bailey Brothers, Baring Brothers. J. P. Hey w ood, E sq ., T. and H. Little dale, and many others of our leading merchants. Mr. DAVENPOI T moved and Mr. Was. M'GREGOR seconded a resolution adopting the report, which, with the subsequent resolutions, will be found in our adver tising columns. Mr. ALEX. M'GREGOR moved and Mr. OYLER seconded the next resolution appointing the officers to fill up the vacancies which had occurred during the year. Mr. RUSSELL rose to move the third resolution, and in doing so addressed the meeting at some length in expla nation of the benefits to be derived from enrolment in the association. After saying that he had undertaken this task, because he considered it would come better from a member than a patron, he went on to state that the Liverpool Provident Clerks' Association was enrolled un der act of Parliament ; they could not go either to the right hand or the left, but must adhere strictly to the course laid down by the law ; therefore it was that the greatest degree of security was ensured. They proposed to limit the insurance to the sum of £2OO, in order to save the stamp duty, and because they considered that very few clerks would be found able to exceed that limit, especially if they contributed to the sick and pension fund, the ad vantages of which branches must be obvious to every one connected with the association. He especially addressed himself to the young and unmarried men with respect to the insurance, as offering facilities for entering on the duties attendant on the married state, and showed that the subscription was so trifling that it would never be felt by them. He also appealed to those of his own age, verging on thirty, and advised them, if they had not yet joined the association, to do so at once. He called upon them, as prudent men, to debar themselves of some su perfluous luxury, in order to gain the advantages offered ; a single glass of ale a day-2d. a day saved—would pro duce £lOO at death. Persons filling lucrative situations might sneer at such a society and say, " We can save out of our salaries a sufficient sum for the necessities of old age without your assistance." But did they ? That was the question. Experience showed just the reverse, and such men, if cast out of their situations, found it more difficult than subordinate men to gain other offices; yet there was no avoiding these casualties. We knew by the lite seriousbankriptcies how many merchants were com pelled to close their houses ; and whenever that was the case, numbers of clerks were cast on the world. Mr. Russell then referred to the " situation book," which lies at the society's offices. He considered this presented an advantage to merchants, for they might be sure of getting prudent young men through its means, and con bulAut bet fie wen paid a wen-mentect compliment to the London association, which he never theless considered as not being adapted to meet the neces sities of this town. As a contrast to the picture of the prudent clerk, an instance of an opposite character was adduced :—A gentleman, resident in London, who had enjoyed a salary of £3OO a year for many years, was sud denly cut off by an epidemic ; his resources were so limited that even the expenses of his funeral had to be defrayed by some friends of the deceased. If this unfor tunate man had denied himself the luxury of a car for a few times a week, or some similar expensive pleasure, he might have left his pennyless widow a handsome sum, or if his own life had been prolonged, an annuity of £lOO per annum. Mr. R. then glanced at the sick fund, and pointed out its object, namely, the providing medicine and at tendance, and ten or twelve shillings a week, to members overtaken with illness ; this branch was of paramount im portance,. and it was intended to extend its objects. For instance, a recipient when arrived at the age of 65, would be placed on the permanent pension list, by which he would receive ten or twelve shillings a week for the re mainder of his life. The objects of the Association would not stop here ; for there was a further design to establish a " Benevolent Fund" out of the surplus profits, after devoting the bulk of these profits amongst the subscribers. At the conclusion of a powerful address, the speaker, turning to the Mayor, said, as the representative of the merchants of the town, he was desirous of pointing out to his worship that clerks receiving a salary of £7O, £BO, or £9O a-year were not able to save much : it was often with great difficulty the small subscription to that Association could be saved by persons thus situ ited, he therefore thought that if they (the Association) endeavoured to provide a prudent and careful class of clerks for employers, that these ought also in return to assist them in carrying out the objects of the Association, which was guaranteed by Act of Parliament, and whose rules had been submitted to the revision of the Govern ment Auditor. Mr. HUGHES briefly seconded the resolution, which was put from the chair and carried nem. con. Mr. JOHN SMITH moved the fourth resolution, ex pressing confidence in the officers; and in support of it made some valuable remarks in approval of the objects of the society, which he considered would tend to the social amelioration of all classes, the development of intellect, and the promotion of charity to our fellow-creatures. The speaker instanced, as an institution of a similar description, the Athenieum which had begun from even a less beginning than that Of this society, and was now a flourishing institution ; and urged upon the Provident Clerks' society to persevere in carrying out the objects which they proposed for themselves. In one point, a man would always, he thought, find his claims preferred by an employer from the mere fact of his belonging to a provident society. After a few remarks upon the desira bility of parliament abolishing those taxes which retarded efforts to economise and to save money for old age, and the duty of all parties to live within their incomes, and to be prepared for casualties of every description, the speaker concluded a very feeling and pertinent address, which, having been seconded, was passed with acclamation. Mr. DAVENPORT moved a vote of thanks to the patrons of the society, and explained that the list would have been much more numerous had the fbw parties who had solicited donations been able to devote more attention and time to the work. They had been kindly received by all the merchants upon whom they had called, and especially by the worthy Mayor, the chairman of the present meeting. The resolution being seconded by a gentleman who took an opportunity of expressing the thanks due from the society to Mr. John Smith, A resolution of thanks was moved and seconded to Mr. Davenport and the directors of the society for their ser vices in behalf of the society, and passed unanimously. Mr. DAVENPORT briefly returned thanks. A motion of thanks was next moved to the secretary, Mr. Poole, for his great exertions in advancing the inte rests of the society, and being seconded by Mr. ALEX. AVGREGOR, was passed unanimously. Mr. POOLE briefly returned thanks and expressed his confidence in the prospects of success which were dawning upon the society ; and in particular remarked upon the fact as most gratifying that many carters, porters, police men, and others, were applying to be admitted as mem bers of the society. He entered at the same time into an explanation of some:of the peculiar advantaLo ; offered by the society. A vote of thanks was next voted to Mr. Rushton for having granted the society the use of the Sessions-house. A vote of thanks was g i ven to the Mayor and carrie d by acclamation, after which the proceedings terminated.
