ARRIVAL OF THE KING OF PRUSSIA ussian Majesty, who had be'en expected to reach the Thames on Friday, did not reach it till Saturday. On that afternoon he landed at Greenwich from the Firebrand steamer. From an early hour in the morning, the streets of Green wich presented a most animated appearance, parties conti nually pouring in by steamers, by railroad, by coach, cart, gig, and every description of vehicle, all eager to catch a glimpse of his Prussian Majesty on his first setting foot on British ground. One gentleman had come all the way up from Yorkshire, having travelled nearly 200 miles on purpose to witness the landing of his Majesty. Admission to the quadrangle of the hospital could be pro cured only by ticket from the governor. The space at the end of each wing was occupied exclusively by those connected with the hospital, and the whole of the quadrangle was re served for the suite of the King of Prussia and Prince Albert and the members of her Majesty's government. The boys of the Royal Naval School were drawn up on the steps be tween the Chapel and the Painted Hall. The pensioners were drawn up around the inside of the quadrangle, and the guard of honour, consisting of the Royal Marines, was drawn up within the quadrangle, facing the river. At twenty minutes after one o'clock the arrival of Prince Albert, at the west gate of the hospital, was announced by loud cheering, and immediately his royal highness, in a tra velling carriage and s'x, accompanied by out-riders and other attendants, drove up to the governor's residence, and was received by Sir Robert Stopford at the door. Immediately on his royal highness entering the hospital, the union jack, which had been previously flying over the eastern wing, was struck, and the royal standard of England hoisted. At half after two o'clock the_ approach of the Firebrand was announced by trumpet, and his Royal Highness Prince Albert, accompanied by the Duke of Wellington and his suite, left the Governor's house, proceeding down the steps to meet his Prussian majesty. His Royal Highness was dressed in plain clothes. In the large square of the quadran gle every arrangement had been carried into effect with the most perfect regularity. In the centre was placed the bat talion of Marines, while on the path adjoining the river was collected a body of naval and military officers of high rank, habited in their various uniforms. The windows of the dif ferent rooms in the hospital were occupied by beautiful and elegantly attired ladies. The old pensioners, in their best dresses, were ranged along the paths of the quadrangle ; while the steps on the southern side were occupied by the boys of the Greenwich Hospital schools. The effect of the scene at this moment was splendid in the extreme. His Royal High ness Prince Albert, it is reported, expressed his admiration at this inspiriting spectacle. Anxious to be ready to receive his royal guest on landing, he seemed desirous of leaving the governor's house even before it was necessary to do so ; and to Sir R. Stopford, who expressed a fear that he might take cold, he observed, " I do not care for the weather; I shall not catch cold ' • it is a beautiful sight." The governor' s b arge , accompanied by the Admiralty barge, then boarded the Fire brand, and his Majesty landed under a salute of twenty-one guns. Immediately on his appearance at the head of the stairs, the Guard of Honour presented arms and the officers lowered the colours. All the usual honours were paid to his Majesty, the bands of the different regiments playing " God save the Queen !" The King was received by Prince Albert with much cordi ality, and the latter introduced to his Majesty Sir R. Stop ford, the hero of the siege of Acre. The meeting of the Duke of Wellington and his Prussian Majesty was very gratifying. They shook hands with much warmth, and the King appear ed highly delighted to see his grace there to welcome him. His Majesty and suite then entered the Governor's resi dence, where they remained a short time ; and at three o'clock his Majesty and the Prince left in his Royal High ness's carriage for Windsor. The royal suite followed in other travelling carriages. Prince Albert entered the carriage first, and seemed almost overcome with emotions of pleasure at the hearty and cordial welcome the Kingof Prussia received ; and his majesty could not avoid smiling, when seated in the carriage, to witness the anxiety of the ladies to obtain a glimpse of him ; for which purpose they had patiently, for many hours, endured exposure to the cold and unfavourable weather. His Prussian Majesty is a remarkably fine-looking man, nearly six feet high, apparently about forty-seven years of age, and he appeared in excellent health and spirits. Misled by erroneous rumour, Prince Albert went to Green wich on Friday to meet the King of Prussia ; but the King could not keep the appointment ; he had not arrived ; and so the Prince returned to Windsor alone ; so much sooner than was looked for, that the Royal carriages were not in readi ness at Slough, and he walked the greater part of the way to the Castle before a post-chaise, ordered from Salthill, came up. ARRIVAL OF THE REIGNING DUKE OF SAXE COBURG AND GOTHA, AND DUKE FERDI NAND OF SAXE COBURG. On Sunday morning two of the royal carriages arrived at Woolwich, and were stationed in the royal dock-yard, as the arrival of other royal persons was anticipated. At about a quarter before four o'clock in the afternoon her majesty's steam-vessel Shearwater, Captain Washington, arrived, hav ing been delayed to convey the reigning Duke of Sake Co burg and Gotha, Prince Albert's father, and Duke Ferdinand of Saxe Coburg, his royal highness's brother. The royal party proceeded immediately after their arrival to Windsor Castle. The visit of Duke Ferdinand was anticipated, but not the visit of his royal father, which will add to the pleasure of her majesty and illustrious consort on the approaching im portant ceremony of the christening of the Prince of Wales. 1:7 4 ND EDITION. 'tandarkilice, Ten o'clock LIVERPOOL CORN EXCHANGE,-THIS !)AT (From Messrs. 1?. MAKIN SONS' Circular.) The rec its from Ireland since this day week comprise a moderate quantity of Wheat and Fiour, with a fair supply of Oats, and a further large influx of Oatmeal ; hut of any thing coastwise we have still very little to notice. From the Continent of Europe, we have to report a good supply of Wheat, with several parcels of Barley, Beans and Pease— and from the United-States, 17,7 , 14 barrels of Flour In consequence of to-day being observed as a holiday at the Custom-house, and the general business of the town being partially suspended, the transactions in Wheat were only to a moderate extent this morning ; and with rather less firm ness than at the close of the week ; secondary and inferior descriptions were the turn lower : prime qualities, notwith standing, were scarcely affected in value, and for such we therefore repeat the current rates of this day se'nnight.—ln foreign Wheat, either in bond or afloat, no recent sales have been reported. English and Irish Flour continued to move off slowly at late prices; and Foreign duty paid was rather depressed in value, a few parcels of Canadian having been sold at 345. States Flour under lock was also offered at a decline of ls. per barrel. • • In Barley, Malt, Beans and Pease, very little business was apparent, and former prices scarcely maintained. Oats, with a better supply of good samples, but no im proved demand, obtained the rates of Tuesday last. Oat meal, although by no means in lively request, was rather more saleable to consumers, on the terms of last week. • ARRIVALS OF CORN, From the 18th to the 24th January, 1842, inclusive COAST- IcANADAI FO- DESCRIPTION WISH.

They consist of four rooms—first, his Majesty's state saloon, the walls of which are hung with the arms of England in crimson satin damask, the chairs and other furniture of a Gothic shape richly gilt. are also covered with crimson satin damask. Here are also four very rich or-moulu cabinets—pictures by Rubens— splendid pedestals—rich bronzes, and other ornaments of a most costly character. The next room is intended for the drawing-room of his Prussian Majesty. It is usually called the King's Council room ; it is covered, like the former apartment, with splendid crimson velvet, Wilton carpet, bordered with the rose, shamrock, and thistle, and illuminated with superb charade. liers in or-moulu. In this room there is a princely cabinet, covered with a Gibraltar slab. There are also several splen did antique clocks, of French manufactures. The walls of his Majesty's cabinet are hung with satin damask, and pictures by various masters. Here is the cele brated picture of the " Two Misers," by Quintin Matays. The window -curtains of this apartment are of yellow satin damask with wreaths in crimson. His Majesty's bed-room is hung with blue satin damask, with the cipher of " A. R." entwined with a wreath of roses, surmounted by two cherubim supporting a crown. The pictures by old masters are here in silver frames. The carpet Axminster. Washhand-stand of Naples wood beautifully ornamented. Its fittings of white China gilt. The bed furniture consists of richly brocaded silk, with bouquets of flowers on a blue ground. Its draperies are lined with white silk. There are helmets on each post to support the canopy, which is altogether of a most unique and gorgeous character, the whole being surmounted by a plume of white ostrich feathers. The other furniture of the apartment is of a most costly and splendid description. The Queen's Drawing-room, as it is usually called, is fitted up with wardrobes, and will be chiefly used by the King's attendants. The Vandyke-gallery will be used as a luncheon-room. The presence-chamber is to be used for a similar purpose. St. George's-hall, which is 200 feet long, and where the grand banquet is to take place, has undergone a thorough cleansing and re-decoration. A splendid new Wilton carpet with a Scotch border on a purple ground has been laid down. The Gothic side boards and galleries at each end have also received fresh embellishment. The whole of the arrange ment have been under the able superintendance of Mr. San ders, and, we believe, her Majesty, upon a personal inspec tion of the state apartments this evening, expressed her utmost satisfaction with all the arrangements. THE STATE APARTMENTS. ALTERATIONS FOR THE ROYAL CHRISTENING The grand vestibule at the top of the staircase has been ornamented with various stacks of armour, with four very large silk banners, one at each corner, with bronzes, tabl es , benches, covered with embossed plush, and with six gigantic candelebra, richly gilt. The Waterloo chamber adjoining, the walls of which are ornamented with rich oak carvings and many fine paintings, by Sir T. Lawrence, Sir W. Beechey, Sir D. Wilkie, Sir M. A. Shee, and Mr. W. Pickersgill, has been refitted and em bellished. The carpet, formed of a peculiar yarn somewhat resembling Axminster, has in Elizabethan panels stars of the orders of the Bath and of the Garter, and alternated with the Norman rose. The chamber will be illuminated by five immense gilt chandeliers, arranged in glass compartments, emblazoned with the various orders of St. George, St. An drew, and St. Patrick. There are also eight gilt candelabra, which will be placed in different parts of the chamber. The furniture is all of oak, richly carved and covered with em bossed crimson plush. The grand reception-room, which will be used by the Queen on the night of the banquet as a drawing-room, is in the style of Louis XIV. Here there are six panels of Gobe lin tapestry containing the principal adventures of Jason and Medea. In this apartment there are four cut-glass or-mottle chandeliers. On each side of the entrance are two gilt pe destals with bronze female figures, supporting a branch of 10 lights each. The walls of this apartment are decorated with six magnificent pier and chimney-glasses each upwards of 20 feet in height. The eastern window is fitted up with curtains of crimson satin velvet, and immediately underneath is the celebrated vase presented by the Emperor Alexander to George IV. The furniture is all richly carved and gilt. The tables are of oak ; the sofas and chairs are covered with crimson satin velvet. The carpet is a Wilton, of claret ground, strewed with flowers. From this room opens the passage by which her Majesty will enter the drawing-room after the banquet, extending about 40 feet, and containing cased specimens of the richest and most gorgeous eastern armour, many of them studded with diamonds. There is also preserved here a fine collec tion of swords, from the time of Marlborough down to that of George 111. The cuirass of Napoleon is also here. The Throne-room adjoins; the walls hung with purple velvet, embossed with the star of the gaiter, and the ceiling richly gilt in compartments, and emblazoned with the star and collar of St. George. The throne itself is entirely new, splendidly carved, richly gilt, covered with embossed purple velvet, and trimmed with gold lace and gimp. On the back and seat is the star of the Order of the Garter. The dra peries and linings are most superb. The royal arms are emblazoned on the back, and the star on the inner side of the top of the canopy. the whole being surmounted with massive cornices and the imperial crown. In this apartment are portraits of George l 11, by Gainsborough ; of George IV, by Sir 'l'. Lawrence; and of William IV, by Sir M. A. Shee ; together with a picture of the installation of the Knights of the Garter, by Sir IL West. On each side of the throne are two massive ormolu chandaliers, and four beautifully gilt candelabra. In each recess there are rare and gorgeous cabinets, with slabs of white marble. The stools are covered with purple velvet, on which the star of the Garter is embossed.

MELANCHOLY LOSS OF LIFE We regret much to have to record an occurrence which, as bringing deep affliction to several respectable families in this city, could scarcely be exceeded. In the month of Novem ber, 1840, three or four families of this city, remarkable for their industry and prosperity in their respective lines of business, including Mr. James Salter, his wife and ten chil dren, a respectable jeweller, residing for many years on the Grand Parade—Mr. John Wilkinson, wife and four children, boot and shoemaker, of Daunt's-square--and Mr. Stannard, of Hammond's marsh, we believe a cabinetmaker—broke up their respective establishments, and sailed in the ship Nep tune, for Sydney, their place of destination being New Zealand. Mr. Salter had made an extensive purchase of property at New Zealand, through the agency of a friend who had been there and reported most favourably of the country, and took out a considerable quantity of plate and other property. The Neptune arrived at Sydney in good order, and the emigrants landed, and sojourned there some three or four months, during which period Mr. Salter made provision there for one of his sons. Matters being in readi ness, and all arrangements perfected, the families of Messrs. Salter, Wilkinson, and Stannard proceeded in the month of August last, in the clipper Sophia Pate, from Sydney, and arrived, after a run of about three weeks, in the Bay of Islands. Here having stopped a short time, Mr. Stannard proposed to walk across the country, about fifteen miles dis tant, to the spot towards which they had looked for months in that spirit of anxiety and solicitude natural under the cir cumstances. The proposition to proceed overland was not agreed to by Mr. Salter or Mr. Wilkinson, upon the ground that it might not be prudent in them to leave their trunks and boxes to the care of others, and Mr. Stannard, accom panied by one of Mr. Wilkinson's sons, set off, leaving the remainder to proceed coastways. Upon arriving at the destined spot he was astonished that no tidings of the vessel had been received, and he immediately proceeded to the residence of the c hi e f, of whom the property had been purchased for Salter, and whose welcome was mo s t gra cious. Accompanied b y a M e thodist missionary, in con nexion-with the London institution, and a number of follow ers, the chief proceeded to the harbour likely to be selected as a landing-place by the clipper, when they were met by the master and crew, wearing Mr. Salter s clothes. Explanation quickly followed. The master reported that when close to shore the vessel struck, and bad gone to pieces, and that all on board, except himself, the hands, and a child of Mr. Wil kinson, had perished.—The chief, an extremely intelligent man, instantly suspected that all was not right ; his suspi cions extended to his followers, and it was only by the great est exertions of the missionary that the natives were pre vented tearing the c r ew limb from limb. A portion of poor Mr. Salte r ' s p r op e rty, i n plate, was found on the captain ; and he and hi s crew b e ing first stripped of th e c l o th es on them, were conveyed to Auckland, a principal town in New Zealand, to await their trials. Young Mr. Wilkinson is stated to have represented that when the ship struck Mr. Salter entreated the captain to lower the long boat, and he did lower her, b u t it was to send her adrift; upon which he was asked to let down the jolly boat. He refused at first; but upon letting her down he and the crew lo were d them selves into her, p r o v identially pushing young Wilkinson, in the confusion, before them. He got to the bottom of the boat, and thus escaped, the last scene h e wit nesse d on b oar d being Mr. Salter and family at prayerin the cabi n , w hi c h a t this time was filling fast with water. There are some of the particulars of this severe calamity , derived from a source upon which we implicitly rely.—Cork paper.

ROYAL CHRISTENING.-- The carpets upon which this august cereremony is to take place are now in a forward state of preparation at the works of Messrs. Rogers, woollen printers, Sandford-street, Leeds. They are of two kinds ; the one to spread along the passage to the chapel has a blue ground with a shield alternate, with the royal star and garter ; the other, to cover the floor of the chapel, is of a most beautiful and b r illi ant crimson groun d , w ith the ciphers P. W. alternate with the Prince of Wales's feather. The material is of felted cloth, and the whole reflects high credit on the taste and skill of the manufacturers. Nests. Rogers have also had a large quantity of blankets forwarded to them for the purpose of impressing upon them a mark bearing date, place &c. which are for the purpose of charitable dis- tribution on the day of the royal christening.—Bradford o:merver.

Neve met - i,' or Who have no —persons at a distance gine, from the c leaguers, that they arc than the manufacturers and ii was there a greater mistake ! "That the enemy which now threatens to eat up vot rentals,' should be thorou g hly k nown t o a ll part i es, i t w ill b useful that I should explain, in simple, intelligible language who and what these leaguers are. It is necessary, then, i; the' outset, that I should inform you, that there are two dis tinct classes of manufacturers and merchants. The one composed or honest, honourable, industrious men, who wouli disdain to build their fortunes upon the ruin of others ; mei who are imbued with a strong desire to produce and obtair, articles that will stand the test of wear and use, for which they are always willing to give a fair remunerating price these men always eschew every kind of deception in thei dealings with mankind, never permitting the love of 17 -. drag them into the paths of dishonour. " The other class of manufacturers and merchants corigist: mainly of men in every respect the opposite of the former — men who are speculators, reckless traders, and fraudulent dealers ; whose only object is to get wh a t they can how they can ; and then to keep what they have gotten. The ties of honour and humanity never bind them—cheap-Laying, at any accumulation of distress to others, is their maxim. To take advantage of the ignorance or poverty of their neigh bours, is their rule. " The first-named class are those who would rather aid than distress others, who, like themselves, are in the pursuit of honourable gains ; whilst the last class know no friendship, even amongst each other ; but jealously strive, by every un der-hand means, to over-reach and ruin those with whom they compete. The competition of these men is—War. " The former act upon the principle of ' live and let live,' the latter adopt the maxim, thou shalt not live if I can hinder thee.' The first are, by their opponents styled Tyrants and Bigots,' the last call themselves ` Liberal and Enlightened.' "The former pride themselves on dealing fairly and liberally with their workpeople, and are always wishful to pay just and reasonable wages, rather than endeavour to screw down the remuneration of their operatives; they are as tena cious, or even more so, of their honour, as they are of their gains. Their boast is, a good article, not a low price ; and they ever have an honest pride in keeping up the fair fame of England in foreign markets. b arn to " Ti)e latter care not for their work-people, but resort to all sorts of expedients to cheat them and reduce their wages. They will rob them in weight and measure, by the truck sis tem, by forcing them to attend to extra duties in their ware houses without remuneration, and by a thousand tricks which it would weary you to name. In their mills they will alter clocks to gain time, charge their operatives lost time when they are on the spot, make them pay even for water, and fine them for the most trifling supposed neglect ; they buy inferior cotton and wool, and then fine their operatives because it will not spin into good yarn, or weave into wearable cloths : in short, Sir, the laws of their mills form the most tyrannical code that avarice and selfishness can invent. They cheat their customers by mixing, stretching, starching, and false dyeing ; in fact, they practise every art to put a flash finish on their goods. Appearance, not quality, is what they aim at. The rubbish which they are thus able to bring to mar ket, they call cheap, because the price is low. They are heedless of the honour of the nation, being always willing, for their own profit, to sacrifice the good name of the British merchant in the markets of the world. The only question with these men, at home and abroad, is, 'What can we make or sell, on any terms, to yield us a greater profit ?" " The last class are those who, to cover their own extor tion and tyranny, are ever, to their operatives, railing against the landlords. Whatever hardships their work-people have to endure, their ready answer is, ' It is the tyrannical land lords, who, to protect themselves, and keep up their rents, prevent us from having a free trade, and force us to work long hours and pay low wages." This class of manufacturers and merchants, are those who have always opposed any limitation of the hours of labour in factories, or any legal interference with their fraud and tyranny. It is these, also, who, when they want the aid of the landlords to coerce the operatives, tell you—That they are turbulent, seditious, and idle ! Thus do they, for their own gain, exasperate the labourers and aristocracy against each other : whilst the for mer class of manufacturers and merchants have been our friends and yours. " Now, Sir, it is natural that men who think and feel so differently, whose aims and objects are so much at variance, should not be upon the best terms—it is just so. These two classes of manufacturers and merchants have been op posed for many years. The new system of trade, which repudiates restraint of any kind, has, it is true, ruined many of the former, because they could not compete with the knavery of the swindlers, and it has added to the number of the latter ; but still, by far the most substantial, and incom parably the most influential portion of our manufacturers and merchants belong to the former class. I say the most influential, I wish I could add that they used their influ ence." STRANGE CASE.-ALLEGED LOSS OF A LETTER CONTAINING £ll5 A case has occurred here, with reference to the supposed loss of a letter in the Post-office, which, from the circum stances, deserve every publicity to be given to it. On the Ist December last, a Mr. 'l'. H. Sledge, of No. 5, Crown-court, Cheapside, London, — who is stated to be the age n t or ser vant there of Mr. Edmund Howarth, whose warehouse is No. 1, Church -street, Manchester, and who calls himself an agent also,—remitted to Mr. Howarth, his principal, the sum of £ll5, in six Bank of England notes enclosed in a letter, which he posted at the General Post Office. London, on that day. Not receiving from Mr. Howarth any acknow ledgement of this remittance, Mr. Sledge wrote to him on the subject; and what answer he received does not appear. However, on the 6th December, Mr. Sledge made a com plaint at the General Post Office, London, that the letter had never reached its destination. Of course the authorities at the postoffice instituted rigid inquiries, which wet e not only prosecuted in London, but the solicitor of the postoffice was sent down here to investigate the matter ; and the Bank of England were also apprised of the loss, and furnished with the amounts, dates, and numbers of the notes, which were the following; all being of the Bank of England : No. 45,141, dated June 7, 1841 No. 11,125, „ Oct. 8, ~ £3o No. 58,342, „ Aug. 9, „ £2o No. 30,405, „ £lo No. 13,833, „ tf Of No. 94,304, „ f f Pt £ll5 Several most respectable parties in Manchester, who were supposed to have received part of the contents of the letter, employed themselves and their clerks in making diligent search, when, at last it was discovered, on inq u i r y a t t h e South Lancashire Bank, that on the 2d December, the day on which Mr. Sledge's letter with its enclosure would reach this town, Mr. Edward Howarth himself paid £lOO into the South Lancashire Bank, to his own credit; such £lOO con sisting of four of the six notes remitted by M r. Sl e d ge, v i z., the idntical £4O, £3O, £2O, and £lO notes, the numbers of which we have given above. This fact was communicated to the police, and Mr. Howarth, when requested, appeared be fore the magistrates. The superintendent of police stated the above facts, and added that Mr. Howarth had come to the Manchester Post-office himself to make inquiries for the letter, which he stated had never reached him. The expense had been very great indeed, of making these inquiries, espe cially on the part of the post-office authorities, who had sent their solicitor down from London. Mr. Willock, the post master, had been put to great trouble and inconvenience ; other parties had also had the trouble of going through their books to search out the different payments they might have received and made since the Ist December ; the clerks in various establishments for atime were subjected to suspicion ; and two gentlemen, from different concerns, were in court to complain of this. Several gentlemen gave a detail of the trouble they had been put to. In reply to the magistrates, Mr. Howarth persisted in saying that to that moment he had no recollection of receiving the notes, and that the first inti mation he remembered receiving of the money was the letter from Mr. Sledge, stating that he bad not sen t an acknow ledgment of it ir Charles Shaw said, on account of Mr. Howarth's conduct, a great many innocent persons have been suspected ; and had one of the notes been traced to a gentle man in any way connected with the post-office, or had the gentleman been unable to show how he received it and paid it away, the matter might have assumed a more serious shape. trust the gentlemen present will take this into their seri ous consideration, that if inquiries had been made by the po lice at all painful or unpleasant to them, and productive of trouble or inconvenience, these inquiries were all, in fact, the result of the conduct of Mr. Howarth himself.—On a recommendation from the magistrates that Mr. Howarth should reimburse the expenses, the parties left the court.— Manchester Guardian.

AN INSANE CLAIMANT TO THE QUEEN'S HAND.-At the Kensington Police-court, on Friday, a person, respect ably iiressed, about 25 years of age, having the appearance of a foreigner from his moustaches, and wearing a large brim med white hat with a low crown, entered the court, and de manded to have an interview with the magistrate. Mr. Ni chols, the clerk, who was still in the court, informed him that the magistrate had just left, and inquired what was the na ti7e of his business, as he appeared much disappointed at being too late. The applicant then said, in broken English, that he wished to see the Queen, as she was his wife, and had left him in New York two years ago. After some further conversation, he said he would go to Windsor, and if his wife would not own him, he would get Prince Albert to pay his passage back to Saxe Meinengen. Ebt Eitirrpool (tailbarb. TUESDAY MORNING, JANUARY 25, 1842 The elevation of our talented member, Mr. Cress well, to a seat upon the Judicial Bench creates a vacancy in the representation of Liverpool; and the Conserva tive electors of our " good old town" have thus pre sented to them an opportunity of proclaiming, once more, their firm and devoted attachment to the princi ples of our glorious constitution. The eyes of all the empire look now to this leading mart of commerce and industry for the opinion—to which we are about to Lye constitutional expression —with respect to the policy by which this great country is to he governed ; and we can say with confidence for our Conservative fellow-townsmen, that they know their duty, and will discharge it fearlessly and triumphantly. It was the voice of the constituency of Liverpool, expressed in the motion of her present representative, Lord Sandon, which shook in their tenure of office the unprincipled adininitration of Lord Melbourne; and the voice of the same constituency must now be raised to strengthen in their seats the Conservative Government, who at present happily hold in their hands, to guard by their wisdom, the destinies of England. We do not yet announce the name of the ken _ tletnan selected to succeed, in the confidence of the constituency, our late representative.

O fr correspondent who signs himself " A Conservative," and vet recommends to us a candidate for Liverpool who— he says—is " an advocate for a total repeal of the corn laws," had certainly never read the STANDARD, or lie would not have troubled us with such a recommendation. " A Young Enquirer" will find, by referring to our publica cation of last Friday, that we have already given a copy of the form of prayer to which he alludes. We cannot point out what there is in it to which a conscientious Christian ought to object ; and our correspondent must bear in mind that the objection on the part of Roman Catholics was made before any particular form was fixed upon, and is, therefore, not an objection to the prayer itself, but to pray ing, with Protestants, at all. We are requested to contradict a paragraph in the Mercury and Chronicle, that Mr. Ilerclman's son had found a gold seal and chain, and applied the reward (for restoring it to the owner) for the purposes of the Anti-Corn-Law Bazaar.

Their candidate will be amongst them in a day or two — a candidate which a right-minded and loyal constituency may he proud of; and we trust that the first shout which they raise, in honour of his name and fame, will proclaim to broad England that the heart of Liverpool beats true, and that its affections are wedded, through good and ill, to the Monarchy, to the Church, and to our glorious Constitution. BE READY, THEN!"-- CONSERVATIVE ELECTORS, BE READY The fortuitous emancipation of an hundred and odd negrces, the " property " of American citizens, which has taken place at New Providence, has caused a con siderable share of alarm among all the citizen slave- It shows them the vigorous being and acti vity of a new peril, and they contemplate fixing a quarrel on Great Britain in order to remove it. Our most captious and pugnacious brother, however, was never more unexceptionably in the wrong in his life than he is in this business, nor can one wonder at any thing so much as the power of face with which he puts forth the most monstrous assertions concerning it. What is his expectation ? Why nothing less than that w ,, shall change our own municipal laws in order to accommodate his piratical propensities, and render him owners more secure in a possession which we have renounced for ourselves, and have proclaimed that no man, of whatever country, has a right to. This is a beautiful exhibition of national modesty ; but we will not yet say national; it is only the "slave-holding interest," and the more truculent canaille of ultra-republicans that deal in such preSumption. It is surely very ridiculous of our swaggering cousin to suppose that we should sympathise with him on the mutiny and deSertion of his miserable bondsmen, and the increasing precariousness of his tenure in them by reason of the facility of deliverance afforded them by the universal law of freedom established within the dominions of Great Britain. The natural and logical inference on his part should be, that we should rejoice with the unfortunates who have gained their liberty, and at the effectual door of escape which we have opened to their unhappy race, rather than condole with the unrelenting masters out of whose hands they have been delivered. One hundred and fourteen of the slaves brought into Nassau were set at liberty; there was no charge against them ; the authorities of the island had no right to de tain them, nor to assist others in laying them under restraint. Nineteen were put under arrest, of whom one has since died of wounds received in the decisive struggle for freedom. These were demanded• by the Americans to be taken by them as culprits and tried by American laws, but refused; they remain on the island, to be disposed of by the authorities there ac cording to the directions they shall receive from the government at home. Everything that is natural and essential between us and the slave-holding citizens may he brought out and discussed on the trial (of whatever nature it may be) of these persons. If these captives be charged with mutiny and murder upon the high seas, their guilt or innocence will depend upon the view we take of natu ral rights. An involuntary slave may, we will take it for grant ed, run away from his oppressors, if he may obtain his liberty by flight. By this act, he may indeed deprive his master of what an unjust ordinance may call his " property ;" but a property in the bones and sinews of another is a species of acquisition which God and na ture never gave him. We advance to the case in which the flight or at tempt to escape of the slave may be opposed by the master or its agents; and here if a mortal combat en sue, and one of the oppressors be slain by the bonds man fighting in defence of his natural rights, are wo to call this " murder," " justifiable homicide," or what ? On the high seas the municipal law of Ame rica was of no obligation, and the parties on board the Creole were in respect to natural rights all perfectly equal. The nineteen accused blacks did no more than vindicate their original rights ; they were guilty of no excesses, no unnecessary cruelty; they did nc,t attempt to rescue themselves without a reasonable probability of success; and without making an effort for freedom at the time, and in the way they did, they might fairly have considered their doom of slavery as fixed for ever. They are now charged with "mutiny and mur der." Mutiny ! Is it "mutinous " not to submit to the brand and the lash —to cruelty and oppression at the hand of remorseless tyrants--and that for life ? And if the oppressor meets with death in his nefarious attempt to keep his fellow -man in bonds, is such an accident to be counted " murder " ? We leave the decision in the hands of others; it is perhaps a nice case ; we do not feel warranted in speaking dogmati cally upon it; but we confess that the inclination of our opinion and feelings is in favour of human li berty, and of great leniency and tenderness towards those who may be driven by a hard and cruel necessity to use even the strongest means to redeem thernselOs from an unqualified, life-enduring, and intolerable bon dage. In short, it seems to us that the coloured men of the Creole, if tried on a charge of " mutiny and murder," must be acquitted. We cannot—we ought not to re cede from the position we have elsewhere assumed ; since we have taken upon us to denounce slavery as an injustice —an infringement of natural and inalienable rights —we should go through with it; there is no re treat left us. Brother Jonathan may rail, but he can not rail the seal off the bond which we have passed in behalf of the oppressed, and particularly of the coloured race, in whatever quarter of the world they may be found. He may practise the iniquity of slave-dealing and slave-keeping within his own boQders ; but out of them he must find no favour to his practices at our hands. We feel convinced that public opinion will go along with the Municipal Council in making the most liberal grant towards the completion of the beautiful building for the COLLEGIATE INSTITUTION, now so far ad vanced, that the state of their funds will permit. So tasteful and splendid a pile will constitute one of the principal architectural adornments of the town; and had it sprung up solely upon the suggestion and ex clusively from the funds of the authorised trustees of the public property, there is no enlightened inhabitant of Liverpool who would, or at least who ought to say, that the work was otherwise than creditable to them. The merit of the design, however, belongs to others, and in that the Council cannot now share ; but as the work is incomplete, and pecuniary aid is required to carry it forward, they have the opportunity of doing a public service, and gaining much honour for them selves, by contributing a handsome sum out of their surplus income for this purpose. _ . That there is a baneful party spirit operating in the mind of some men, which would feel more gratified in arresting the progress of an important public under taking of this kind, than in forwarding it, we have too much melancholy proof to doubt ; but the Council, if it would faithfully discharge the great and responsible public duty committed to it, will do well to pay little regard to the petty carpings and frivolous cavils that proceed from such a source, and which are issued with no other view tha n to impede them in an high and honourable course of action. We alluded last week to the readiness of one of our local organs of liberalism, to commit havoc upon a fa vourite institution of its own, rather than allow it to stand with the dangerous precedent connected with it, of a " grant " from the Town Council. The folly perpetrated in this case is somewhat analogous to that insinuated in the old saying of " cutting one's nose to vex their face." The precedent was inconvenient ; but how was it to he got rid of without making an offering of the institution itself upon the altar of party ? And this accordingly is done.
