THE TURKISH LOAN. THE FRENCH PRESIDENT has at length received a check in his foreign policy, and politicians gene rally are puzzled with an event of which none can pretend to foretel the issue. It will be remembered that, a short time since, a contract was entered into for a Loan to Turkey, at a high rate of interest. The first instalment has been paid; and speculation has been active in most of the money markets, the Loan bearing a fair premium, and offering inducements to speculators. Since then a change has taken place in Turkish politics, and the new minister re pudiates the transaction. Loud are the complaints of the French Ambassador,--for in Paris the Loan was contracted,—but all in vain. The Turkish Minister is inexorable ; and a sum in specie, amounting to half a million sterling, is now on its way to repay the first instalment. All this has taken place in the face of acknowledged poverty in the Constantinople Treasury,—the plea being the objection of the Moslems to borrow from infidels, but the true reasons of this sudden change are said to have a very different signification. The Ambas sador of Louis NAPOLEON, in his anxiety for the extension of French influence in the East, has been intriguing with the Turkish Government for the restoration or that exclusive possession of the Holy Sepulchre in Jerusalem by the Romish Monks, which they formerly Enjoyed, hut which has recently been shared by the Greek Church. It may be that the embryo Emperor was desirous of adding to his claims upon the gratitude of the Roman Pontiff, and also of gratifying his ambition of taking a prin cipal share in Eastern affairs. However that may be, the representatives of the great Northern Powers have exerted their influence to counteract the de sign, and have so far succeeded in thwarting this first step of the French Ruler, that the Turkish Sir is Parliament-street, Liverpool. with much pleasure I bear testimony to the extra- Itgnary powers of Locock's Wafers.

'Dorary Offices, 14, New Boswell-court, Lincoln's Inn Ministry has been changed, the Loan repudiated, and all remonstrances of the French Ambassador disregarded. As English capitalists have a large interest in the Loan, the British Minister at Con stantinople, in the first instance, joined with the French Minister in demanding the withdrawal of repudiation ; but since then his eyes appear to have been opened to the real nature of the affair, for he has remained a passive spectator of events, leaving the Russian and Austrian representatives to pursue their advantage. There is no real ground for accu sation against Turkey, as any state has surely a right to refuse to receive a Loan upon repaying what has been advanced, notwithstanding the losses of those who have speculated in prospective premiums; but the affair is chiefly significant as a positive dis comfiture of one of the pet schemes of LOUIS NA POLEON, even before he had formal possession of his long-coveted dignity.

QUAKER BRIGHT'S NOTION OF RELIGIOUS EQUALITY. SINCE the reply of Mr. LUCAS of the Tablet to Sir CULLING EA RDLEY'S challenge N)ropos of the Religious Equality movement, the public must be pretty well aware of the views entertained on the subject by the Forty-one Members of Parliament who are its conductors. But a new oracle has spoken—one who recommends his fitness to speak by the declaration that he is neither Roman Catho lic, nor Protestant Episcopalian, nor Presbyterian, nor Irishman. "ris the Lancashire Quaker, JOHN BRIGHT, who has solved England's great diffi culty, settled the question of the Irish Church, and ensured the peace of Ireland and the happiness of her people for ages to come. And, indeed, friend BRIGHT makes as short work of the matter as ALEXANDER of old did with the Gordian knot. Why ! 'tis as easy as lying. Mr. BRIGHT has written a long and ingenious letter or manifesto to Dr. GRAY of the Freeman, which sets the whole question at rest. The first step it suggests is to declare that no Church shall any longer have any connection with the State; the second, that the pro perty of the Established Church and of the Pres byterian Church shall be confiscated, and a small proportion of the proceeds shall be divided as " free gifts" among a Free Protestant Episcopalian, a Free Presbyterian, and the (query free) Roman Catholic Churches in Ireland,—the whole of the remainder being dedicated to the use of the people. Such is the sum and substance of this BRIGHT scheme for the pacification and advancement of the Emerald Island. But we must condescend, for a moment, to some of the details of the benevolent Quaker. In apparent simplicity, he starts by assuming, " It would be an insult to your (Dr. GRAY'S) understanding, were I to imagine that you demand more or less than a perfect equality before the law for the religious sects which exist in Ire land." Whatever Dr. GRAY individually may demand, it certainly would be an insult to the understanding of the Religious Equality League, of which Mr. LUCAS is a leading member, and The Tablet a prominent organ, if we did not feel sure, after recent manifestoes, that they do demand for the Roman Catholic religion a great deal more than equality before the law with the other religious sects ; and the absurdity of Mr. BRIGHT'S first assumption is quite sufficient to deprive all the suc ceeding part of his letter of practical value. With. out wasting argument on a topic so clear to his Quaker mind as the propriety of an Established Aend A PUBLIC MEETING .01,„" v , 1, of the Conservative Cause will be held in the 1 11'Ir tlext ts- Room, Exchange-buildings, Liverpool, on tO.t e l ' !he sth instant, vihen Lord Viscount RANE- Altatreta. uurrnan, and HENRY POWNALL, Esq., with and g, w an ill attend as a Deputation to explain the Prin- C e . of Operations of the Society. -.ltra/ CHARLES E, LEWIS, -Ace,, 14, N ew Boswell-co urt .aecretary pro tempore. j A ' London, N 0341,184., incoln s Inn, Church, our reformer supposes the principle to be adopted that there must be no Church in Ireland in connexion with the State, and then proceeds to con sider the question as to " the appropriation of the large funds now in the hands of the Irish Esta blished Church." Let us make a supposition in our turn. Let us suppose the principle to be adopted that it is by no means conducive to general prosperity in this coun try that cotton-spinning should form one of the chief employments of the people ; and suppose we were then to discuss "the appropriation of the large funds now in the hands of the Cotton Spin ners of Lancashire." No doubt Mr. BRIGHT, and many others, would deem us insane, if we were to ask for the general adoption of such a principle, and to attempt to carry out such a scheme. But how much more reasonable and just are Mr. BRIGHT'S principle and scheme ? Two plans occur to our ingenious speculator for the appropriation of the stolen property of the Irish Church. " The most simple plan," says the hon. Quaker, with modest gravity, " would be to absorb the revenues of the Established Church, as the livings become vacant, and to apply them in some channel, not ecclesiastical, in which the whole popu lation of Ireland could participate." But, Mr. BRIGHT foresees objections to this plan, although he deems the inconveniences "infinitely less than those which are inseparable from a con- nuance of the present system." But scheme the second, though not so simple, is more likely, we are told, to obtain a general concur- rence of opinion in its favour. The Protestant Episcopal Church of Ireland has an income of £500,000, or principal of, say, £10,000,000 sterling. The Presbyterian Church has £40,000 a-year, or a principal of -Esoo,ooo. The Roman Catholic Church has £26,000 a-year, or a principal of £520,000. Now, suggests Mr. BRIGHT, let a Church Pro perty Commission be established for Ireland, and let it become possessed of the £10,000,000 of the Established' Church—let the Commission be em powered and directed to appropriate a portion of this fund (that is, the Established Church's pro perty) to each of the three Churches as a " free gift" instalment from the State. With respect to the amount of the " free gift" to each Church, Mr. BRIGHT proposes, for the share of the Roman Catholics, that a house and a piece of land of the value of £lOOO should be given to each of the 1000 parishes of Ireland, or a sum of £1,000,000 sterling —no mention being made of the confiscation of their principal, of £520,000. The Presbyterians, accord ing to Mr. BRIGHT'S scheme, would lose their annual fund of £40,000, but obtain, on the division of the spoils, a fund sufficient to produce an equal annual income. Then, as to the share to be appropriated to the Established Church itself, out of its own funds, the reforming Quaker says, " The Protestant Episco palians should be treated as liberally as the Pres byterians. * * Assuming that they could, and would, form themselves into a free Episcopal Church, the Commission would be empowered to grant them a sum equal to that granted to the Presbyterians." The residue of the plunder, Mr. BRIGHT thinks, ought to be reserved for Irish purposes. The result, then, of this modest scheme of the Member for Manchester would be, that the Presby terian Church in Ireland should remain in statu quo ; that the Established Church should be robbed of its property, amounting to £10,000,000; that £1,000,000 thereof should be presented to the Roman Catholics of Ireland as a free gift, and a •" free gift" of rather smaller amount should be given to the Protestant Episcopalians provided they became a free church ; and that the residue of the whole sum should go for such Irish purposes as Mr. BRIGHT and his friends should be able to persuade Parliament to apply them to. Such is the Quaker view of religious equality. Mr. LUCAS and his forty Fellow-Leaguers, Dr. MAcHALF. and his priestly brethren can wish for no more effective ally than Mr. BRIGHT; nor could the POPE himself desire a better plan for spreading his power in Ireland than the simple scheme of the Englis Free-Tnider. A SPECIMEN OF CAIIILL THAT most meek and forbearing Christian, the Reverend Doctor CAHILL, has just put forth the first of a series of twelve letters, addressed to the First Minister of the Crown, and designed for his instruction and guidance. Lest any of our readers, to whom their time is valuable, should be tempted to waste any portion of it on the future debla therations of the Hiberno-Roman Doctor, we deem it advisable to give a specimen of the first of these productions, by way of warning, against those which are to follow. Adverting to the expressions in the last QUEEN'S Speech respecting the danger to which the Protestant Church is exposed, CAHILL confesses, that for once he agrees with the sen timents expressed in an Address from the Throne, and declares his belief in its imminent peril. " I believe, moreover," says his Reverence to Lord DERBY," that neither Her Most Gracious MAJESTY, with all her Royal power, nor Lord JOHN Rus- SELL, with the base Whigs, nor your Lordship, with the most judicious combination of Whig and Tory, which your skill in Parliamentary chymistry can produce, will be able to stay much longer the downfall of an institution which is a libel on God's Gospel; a fortress of public injustice; and the scandalous disturber of our national peace." Those who, with Dr. JOHNSON, entertain a liking for a "good hater," may feel some sort of admiration for this Roman Priest ; for his hatred of the Protestant Church is as strong as it is undis semblcd. He seems to consider his language mild when he speaks of our Church as an " anti- Chris Can monster, which has been reared on the plundered food of the widow and the orphan, and which now makes its enormous daily meals and annual feasts on the life-blood of the entire nation." How this dreadful Ogre has oppressed and sacrificed the unoffending, long-suffering, and uncomplaining Roman Catholic Church, the world may not be aware ; but the Reverend CAHILL informs Lord DERBY that their "superhuman en durance under savage parliamentary insults and lies have had the effect of encouraging their insatiable enemies, in place of mitigating their fanatical fero city." But the poor Roman Catholics need no longer be under serious apprehension. Has not CAHILL thrown down the gauntlet for them ? Is he not their ever ready and puissant champion ? Why, he has deliberately told Lord DERBY that, if his lordship will give him fair play,—by which he says he means if his lordship will muzzle the Times, and the Globe, and the Standard, and Punch, —whom he strings together indiscriminately as Lord DERBY'S dogs of war,—he is quite prepared to rid the nation of its Church Establishment, and thus secure to himself beatification, and national grati tude equal to that awarded to the dragon-slaying GEORGE, or the vermin-exterminating PATRICK. The Reverend Doctor concludes his letter with a complimentary allusion to the " illustrious NA POLEON 111. ;" and there is little difficulty in discovering the cause for his admiration of that distinguished monarch. He feels that he wants a censorship of the Press, before he and his proteges can get what they want, and he sees but little chance of LORD DERBY'S accepting his offer and granting the condition precedent to his great feat of Church destruction. To be serious, the Protestant religion no less than the British Constitution owes much to the Press, and must ever find in it its mcsi powerful and efficient supporter and defender; and"these are times when the duties of the Press in respect both of Church and State are specially onerous. If it is by means of the Press that the rabid nonsense and reckless audacity of the CAHILLS find a vent, it is for the Press also to prevent their performances from having any evil effect upon the community ; and while the Protestant Press of England is true to its own cause, there need be little fear of what a thousand CAHILLS can do to subvert or injure our Protestant Church,—the source, under God, of so many blessings to the country. HULL ELECTION IT will be remembered that at the last election for Hull the unexpected defeat of Mr. BRANILEY-MOORE and the Hon. Mr. BUTLER was believed to be solely owing to the gross and wholesale bribery practised by the Radical can didates, Mr. CLAY and Lord GODERICH. Since then an inquiry has taken place, and the vast body of evidence collected has been submitted for the careful consideration of some of the highest and most experienced legal and parliamentary authorities in the land. The result has been that the eminent men thus consulted have given it as their decided and unanimous opinion that there is quite sufficient in the evidence collected to unseat both Mr. Clay and Lord Goderieh ; and the Conservative party in Hull, acting upon this opinion, finally resolved, at an in fluential meeting on Monday last, to present a petition against their return. The Conservatives of Hull have but done their duty in thus resolving to wrest the seats from those who have so unworthily obtained them ; and we look forward with confidence to the final result being the award in favour of Mr. BRAMLEY-:MORE and his Con- servative colleague THE LICENSED VICTUALLERS' ASSO- CIATION, AND ITS USES. THE proceedings of the Licensed Victuallers' Asso cistion on Thursday last, attendant upon the addition, through their exertions, of another valuable and be nevolent institution to those previously existing in this Town, deserve more than a passing notice. There is a meaning which lies beneath the surface on most similar occasions. The demonstration, both at the laying of the foundation stone of the intended Asylum and Schools, in the morning, and at the Banquet in the evening, was most gratifying, as showing that the countenance and aid of the Clergy, the Mercantile Aristocracy, and the Trades men of Liverpool, are readily extended for the promotion of every good work undertaken by any body of their fellow townsmen. Our business, however, is not with this demonstration, merely, but with the objects and uses of the Association itself, as ably set forth in the speech of Mr. HENRY DANSON. The business of the Licensed Victualler, notwithstanding the prejudices which exist against it in many minds, is one of very great importance, in whatever aspect it is regarded. The Licensed Victualler is the medium through which a large Customs and Excise Revenue flows into the Ex chequer. He is the dispenser to the great mass of the community of articles the use of which, within the bounds of reason and moderation, forms a portion of what are regarded as the comforts and luxuries of the masses, whilst their abuse is the fertile source of crime, disease, and death. How important, then, it is that the class of men, upon whom rests such a large amount of responsi bility, should possess high moral character, firmness, and unswerving honesty ! Such men alone, so far as the strictest care of the committee has been able to effect su',h a result, constitute the present Association ; and their business naturally is to raise to their own, or to a proper level, the remaining body of the trade. In this sense, although Mr. DANsoN objects to the term " Trade So ciety"—and properly so, if used in the ordinary sense— the Licensed Victuallers' is a Trade Society. Its object is the elevation of the character and the promotion of the just requirements of all engaged in it. And, in the per formance of these functions, a vast field of sterling usefulness is before the Association—a field more com prehensive than that of any Chamber of Commerce ; for, as we have already stated, it has intrusted to its keeping not merely trade, or individual interests, but the bodily and moral health of a large portion of the public. It has to protect an important class from that undiscriminating persecution from men in power which is caused by the offences of unworthy members of that class ; to vindicate the character and objects of the deserving, whilst it re pudiates all participation by its members in the misdoings of the undeserving ; to bring to bear the moral influence which such a' society must ever command against the morbid and sickly feeling which has too long existed in influential quarters against the Trade. The Association has a right also to assume deliberative functions ; and will be enabled, from the large experience possessed by its members, to solve many important questions, which have thus far perplexed magisterial wisdom. A proof of this was afforded on Thursday night by the suggestions thrown out by Mr. DANSON, in rep!y to Mr. TURNER'S exposition of the difficulty under which the Magistrates of Liverpool at present labour with respect to the Licensing system. The magistrates justly object to that system, as heretofore carried out. It has long fostered practices of gross favouritism, and, as many of the public believe, of jobbing ; it has moreover led to the creation of additional licenses, when those already existing were far beyond the legitimate wants of the community. Mr. DAMSON, and the Association, entirely concur in these objections to the present system ; but they demur to the Propriety of the local magistrates absolving them selves of their functions, and running away, as it were, from the task of grappling with the difficulty which they have themselves created. A portion of the difficuliy in question, and a prime source of much of the itnmorality existing within the town, is to be found in the low class of men who have been, from time to time, entrusted with licenses. Have the magistrates in past times exercised a proper care in this respect ? No, they have not. The alleged wants of a neighbourhood, the suitability of the premises for which a license has been required, and too often a brewer's or spirit merchant's influence, have weighed more than any other considerations to secure such license. The moral character of the party benefited has been the smallest consideration. The transfer of a license has almost invariably been regarded as a mere matter of form. A dog-fighter, a low pugilist. or a character lower still, if possible, in the moral scale, has been placed in the important trust which every licensed victualler holds, with scarcely an enquiry. Mr. TURNER, for his own part, confessed candidly that he did not see his way clearly to the adoption of a different system—so far, at all events, as regards supplying the new quarters of the town with such licensed houses as are legitimately required by their population. Here again the practical experience of the Association offered the aid of its suggestion—and we feel ourselves justified in stating that the same suggestion was made by us at the com mencement of this difficulty two or three months ago. in fact we have advocated the course recommended by Mr. DANSOIsT, from time to time during seven or eight years past, before the Magistrates had discovered that the present system was vicious at all. Had our advice been followed, there need not have been an additional license granted during this long period. The suggestion was simply that a portion of the Licenses in the old and now almost deserted streets of the town—at present only affording to their holders the means of harbouring dis reputable characters, and promoting the habit of sly drinking to the female portion, especially, of our working population—should be dispersed over the new quarters of the town, say, so many each year. Three-fourths of such houses at present do no legitimate business. The licenses attached to them only add a trifle to the rental exacted by the owners of the property ; and in many cases their being prohibited to be sold,—which they are by the existing regulations of the licensing Magistrates,—prevents the erection of a better and more comfortable class of work ing men's dwellings on the site where they now exist. MEETING OF CONVOCATION. — The following petition on the subject of Convocation has been forwarded to the Queen from the congregation of St. John's Church, in this town :—`! The humble petition of the undersigned ministers, Churchwardens, and members of St. John's Church, Liverpool. May it please your Majesty.—We beg, with feelings of devoted attachment to your Majesty's royal person and throne, to address your Majesty on the subject of the convocation of our national Church. We view with alarm the present agitation created by certain parties, chiefly of Romish tendencies, to revive the active functions of convocation. We believe that, as at present constituted, the convocation does not fairly represent the United Church of England and Ireland—the licensed curates, the laity, who form the great body of the church, and the entire of the Irish branch of the national estab lishment, being excluded from all share in its deliberations. We do not enter upon the abstract question of the desi rableness of convocation in certain circumstances, and under certain modifications; but we humbly conceive that under existing circumstances, and constituted as it is, the revival of its powers would be fraught with peril to the peace and integrity of the Established Ch urc h, t o the religious rights and liberties of the laity, and to the har mony and well-being of your Majesty's realm. We, there fore, most earnestly pray that your most gracious Majesty will not allow the revival of the active functions of convocation." JEWISH MISSION SOCIETY. --4.-- The Anniversary Meeting of the Liverpool Auxiliary Society for Promoting Christianity amongst the Jews was held last evening (Monday), in the Theatre of the Colle giate Institution, and was very fully attended, both galle ries being crowded. The Right Rev. the Lord Bishop of Chester was i❑ the chair ; and amongst those on the plat form were the Rev. John Nicolayson, Rev. A. M. Myers, Rev. W. R. Freemantle. and Rev. Dr. Nevins. who formed the deputation from the Parent Society, Rev. Dr. M`Neile, Rev. Dr. Baylee, Rev. F. Parry, Rev. Dr. Kearns, Rev. W. Pollock, Rev. W. M. Falloon, Rev. Barry, Rev. W.Taylor, Rev. Jas.Lawrence, Rev. W. H. Wright, Rev. W. Brewster, Rev. R. L. Tyner, Limerick, Rev. Jno. Crump, Rev. Maynard, Rev. S. B. Sutton, Rev. Jolly, Rev. D. J. Hasa, Rev. D. Anderson, Rev. C. J. Hamilton, Rev. S. Minton, Collet, Esq., David Hodg son, Esq., John Eden, Esq., Headlarn, Esq., H. J. Webster, Esq., Henry Parsons, Esq., W. Maples, Esq., and Hilton Halhead, E:q. The Right Rev. CHAIRMAN, in opening the proceed ings, said, the purpose of their meeting was to show the sympathy they felt in the Society for Promoting Chris tianity amongst the Jews. The history of that people— God's chosen people—was an extraordinary one, nnparal- leled in ancient or modern history. They were now wan derers, enduring the punishment of the Almighty for their pride of disobe7dienee ' until the time when they shall be restored to their land by that 'Messiah whom they had re- God's hand awaits them - - - but another and a happier destiny still r. They were in darkness now, but Holy Scripture assured 7 .4 em, in no doubtful terms time should come when the veil would be removed, and the ancient people would be restored. They did not know the time, but they had the certain evidence of God's Word that the time should come when the Jews should be restored ; and it was in the strength of that belief that they were then assembled, to do their part towards ex tending the light of the Gospel towards the Jewish people. The Treasurer then read an account of the collections at the several churches on Sunday last :—St. Bride's, £56 17s 6d ; Christ Church, Everton, £23 Os 2d ' • St. ' Clement's, £ll lOs • St. Jude's, ,C , 16 15s ; St. Jolin's, £lB 7s; St. Luke's, £7 17s; Sr. Matthew's, £4 7s; Si Mary's, Edge-hill, £l5 16s 7d ; Sr. Mary's, Booth £2-0 6s 9d ; St. Mary's, Wavertree, £7; St. Ma (1 £4l 13s 6; St. Paul's, Prince's Park, 3 8s 7d ; St. Simon's £76 17s £6 103 There were, howeN urches from which they had as yet received no contributions. The Rev. Dr. I3AYLEE said he might be asked why there should be a special mission to the Jews, which were but a small people, and ostensibly bad no better claim than the Mahometans, nor so much if we judged by numbers. But they had an answer from the special apostle of the Gentiles, who declared that the Jew had the promises. There was much that was interesting in the Jew in a religious point of view, but far more so in a pro phetic point of view. If a Jew admitted that his religion was the same as the Old Testament, he would not deny being a Christian, for Moses, and David, and Isaiah, and other old writers, taught the same doctrines—that the sacrifices of God are a broken and contrite spirit. He said it was a singular fact, that the true meaning of the Scriptures relating to the future glory of the Jews had been first made known by means of the society, and he argued that sufficient had been shown to prove the neces sity, not only to the Jews but to themselves, of supporting a Jewish Mission Society. It was also of advantage to them in these troublous times, when the political horizon of Europe boded a coming thunder-storm. When they saw a priesthood without faith and a man without religion supporting them, they should be prepared, and, as was foretold in the Scriptures, believe that when these signs appear their redemption draweth nigh. The Rev. A. M. MYERS then addressed the meeting, and in answer to the objections which had been made by many to their society, referred to passages in the New Testament - , and argued that the Jews were not excluded from the Church of Christ, and that it was the duty of Christians to do their best to bring them into the fold. He discussed with considerable effect several anecdotes of his experience, much of the effect of which was owing to the tone and manner of the speaker. He proceeded to show, by several quotations, that the promises to the ancient Jews were for everlasting ;—they were suspended, but they could not be abrogated ; and he contended that this was an encouragement to them to persevere in their exertions until that blessed time when all would be gathered,—when there would be a convoca tion from which there would be no danger to the Church, for there would be no Tractarian tendencies, no danger either from Rome or Exeter. He concluded amidst loud cheers. _ _ The Rev. W. FREEMANTLE next addressed the meeting. He might say that the society was never in better condition, not so much in money or in their missions, but in the better tone which appeared to prevail regarding them. They had had great difficulties to contend with, in the objections entertained by many in their own Church, that they were trenching on forbidden ground, and entering into controversies on obscure prophecies. He, and those who acted with him, felt clearly that they were doing their duty, and they had the satisfaction of believing that they had enjoyed the blessing of Providence. The society had been established about fifty years, and the duties which it had performed were almost purely of a missionary cha racter. He referred to the proceedings in various coun tries, and particularly to the interesting fact that Jews were now farming the land near the Holy City, and one of them had offered to supply the wine of Bethlehem at lid. per quart. He gave several details of what had been done in Jerusalem ; in the raising of a church there under great disadvantages, the maintenance of an hospital, to which they had at least 5,000 applicants a year, and other ways of following the footsteps of our Saviour, who went about doing good. A hymn was then sung, and a collection made. The Rev. Mr. NICOLAYSON, for many years connected with tl - .e Christian Mission at Jerusalem, referred to the first establishment of a Christian Mission at Jerusa lem in 1838, the difficulties it had to contend with until 1838, when Ibrahim Pacha became posaessed of the country, the establishment of an Anglican bishopric in 1832, and the progress made in schools connected with the church. So greatly had the spread of the gospel pros pered in that city, that now the common prayer in the ancient language was performed every morning and even ing on Mount Sion. Upon that holy hill the Standard of the Cross was now erected, and, if he was not mistaken, time would speedily show that the light now dawning in the East would :soon shed abroad its bright beams as vividly as it did in the West more than three hundred years ago. (Loud cheers.) The Rev. Dr. M'NEILE proposed a vote of thanks to the right rev. chairman for the urbanity and kindness with which lie had presided on the occasion, which was carried by acclamation. - His lordship briefly acknowledged the compliment, and the meeting separated at ten o'clock. THE ROMISH PRIESTS. THE infamous conduct of the Romish Priests in Ireland, at the last Elections, was of too daring a character, and too mischievous in its effects, to be allowed to pass unnoticed. There would be an end to the freedom of election and personal liberty, if such surpliced firebrands as took part in the late Election proceedings were allowed to exercise their influence unchecked. This, however, will not be the case, as we are informed that it is the intention of Ministers, in the ensuing Session of Parliament, to intro duce a Bill on the subject ; and not the slightest doubt can be entertained that the measure will receive the sanction of the Legislature. THE MAYORALTY v.— To the EDITOR of the LIVERPOOL STANDARD SIR,—Two Liverpool papers, and two only, have made a dead set at Mr. Samuel Holme. The Mail, which professes to be the great organ of Toryism and High Churchism, has been notorious for its repeated attacks upon a gentleman who has not been behind any one in his defence of constitutional principles ; and the a with which Mr. Holme has been assailed, is a convincing proof that personal hatred is at the bottom of it. I am, indeed, somewhat surprised at the mean insinua tions which have, during the last few weeks, disfigured the pages of the Albion; and, recollecting the many able articles which have appeared in that journal on the subject of free trade, and also the advocacy of the Birkenhead Docks, which has until recently characterised it, I was not prepared for the sudden change of sentiment which it now puts forth. The Albion, however, is now of opinion that Liverpool must be a monopolist, and that there ought to be no free trade in docks. Her merchants are not to have the advantages of water space at a less cost, and any one who is connected with another place, is unfitted to hold any office in this town ; and. according to the reason ing of your contemporary, Mr. William Brown, who is so largely connected with America, has no business to repre sent South Lancashire. Mr. Eyre Evans, who is such a large landholder in Ireland, ought not to have s seat on our Dock Committee ; and I wonder that the Albion has not discovered that Mr. J. B. Lloyd is the solicitor of the Birkenhead Railroad Company, and therefore incompetent to sit in the Council. Mr. Joseph C. Ewart was for a long time a trustee of the Birkenhead Docks ; yet your contemporary thought him preferable to Mr. Turner to represent Liverpool in parliament; and I wonder that he has not discovered the appalling fact that our valued Dock Solicitor actually lives on the other side the liver, and is a large owner of property there. Birkenhead has been long in an unfortunate position, and the sooner its advantages are brought into usefulness, the better it will be for the trade of the port, and for the unfortunate bondholders, some of whom have been almost ruined. The new trustees have recently been changing their officers, and 1 can conceive that some of them, or possibly some of the retired trustees, may be sore at their rejection. But I am at a loss to see how Liverpool can be injured by the outlay of money at Bi r kenhead, such a large portion of which belongs to the Corporation, and which is only leased to the present occupants, nor how she can be further injured because Mr. Holme, one of the largest holders of property in Liverpool, has been elected for one year a trustee. When it suited certain parties to laud Birkenhead, a ttt l ioe e n y . foundA l bionwhw the aas vpreaehag ready s o yl et wo f aptsle promulgate ow ma A l b eg i da o fe l o rt i p c : eo n n t.i r a for at s r t ys i c p h d e rlaf opinions,euct ly right for your contemporary, if he thinks so, to advocate monopolies; but let him not call himself a free trader, nor let him suffer his pages to be defiled with unmanly insinuations, which display " envy, hatred, and uncha ritableness." The public feeling has been unequivocally manifested on the subject of the Mayoralty. Mr. John B. Lloyd is in every way . suitable for the honour, and so is Mr. Stewart; but if long public services are to be taken into consideration, I am of the general opinion that the first claim belongs to Mr. Ilolme, and I sh a ll b e surpr i sed if , notwithstanding the ill-nature of the wr it ers b ot h i n t h e Mail and the Albion, he is not elected to the office to morrow week, by a very large majority Yours faithfully, Liverpool, NoreinLer 1, 1852. ulence A DICKY SAM. FRANCE. (FROM A CORRESPONDENT.) PARIS, OCT. - 29, 1852. The all-engrossing topic of conversation is the approach ing elevation of the President to the dignity of Emperor, and the senate has been summoned for Thursday next, in order to draw up the necessary formal proceedings. The popularity of which Louis Napoleon was the object in his tour through the southern provinces nd the certa his obtaining an almost unanimous vote upon an appeal to universal suffrage, would render the last step an apparently easy one ; but it is not so ; and the greatest difficulties have arisen out of the most seeming trifles. In the first place, there is the style and title of the new Emperor. The moderate advisers of the President say " Louis Napo leon," to which, in its simplicity, there could be no valid objection ; but hereditary pride, and recollections of " nic uncle," say " Napoleon 111. ;" and the latter designation has been extensively used in the decorations of the pro vincial fetes. It is, however, open to grave objections, on the score of its untruth and its absurdity. It is untrue, because it pre-supposes an hereditary cl aim, whereas the pretensions of Louis N the affix im- ;ceded I poleon are ostensibly b popular suffrage ; and it is absurd, Imo plies that the Due de Reichstadt virtu whereas he never I ,ad the shad a distinction, Napoleon having renounced all the claims of his family in the Treaty of Paris the President is said to A second title, of which bitious, is t of " King of Algeria;" and though, as a mere titl t can amount to little, its recognition by other pow recognition of the claims of Fran Africa, a possess n which h and which may lead to ill further the integrity of other African states now aropean powers N third title said to 1 mperor is that of Protecteur des les Lieux Sainte or " Protector of the Sanctuaries uld be positively r ere it not fraug consequences which are likely to pro pretension be persisted in. It is a which ht with s shown French have a penchant for protecto in the absurd affair at Tahiti, and subsequently Sandwich Islands; but this affair of Les Lieux Saintes is a claim to the exclusive right of the Latin monks to the custody of the Holy Sepulchre, and other objects of Chris tian interest in Palestine, belonging to the Sultan of Turkey. The term is applied to all the churches built on the localities whereon the principal events occurred which are described in the life of our Saviour. The question may be said to have originated in the treaty between France and the Ottoman Empire in 1604, by which the Latin monks in Jerusalem were secured the right of officiating in the Church of the Holy Sepulchre. This was confirmed and extended by Sultan Amurath IV., in 1635, and again by subsequent treaties down to 1740. During all this time, however, the Greeks were the most numerous of the Christians, and gained strength, under the influence of Russia, until 1808, when the church was accidentally burnt, and the Greeks rebuilt it, and have ever since retained possession, hut not to the exclusion of the Franks. The point now insisted upon by the French ambassador is, the expulsion of the Greeks, a demand to which the Sultan, guided by Russian counsels, has refused to accede, giving to all equal privileges ; and without hazarding an encounter with opponents more powerful than he would wish to provoke, Louis Napoleon must be content to eat his leek, and suffer the first blow to his ambition, before he has acquired his coveted dignity. It may be asked, for what purpose is this great ado about rival monks, all of whom are Arabs, and only claim the names of Greeks and Latins from their adherence to those particular churches. It is simply a rivalry of their patrons, the Emperor of Russia and the Pope of Rome ; and Louis Napoleon is anxious to curry favour with the latter, to induce him to assist at his coronation, and also to extend his influence in the east. The French President has con stituted himself the especial protector of the Papal power, as was shown in his readiness to reinstate the Pope by French bayonets, after he was a fugitive from his capital and the prasent quarrel is a part of the same game. It is reported that the ceremony of installing the new Emperor has been fixed for the 10th of December, but the scruples of the Pope to come to Paris have not yet been got over. He does not like a journey in the winter, and he does not see his way clear. It may produce other claims which may be awkward to grant and difficult to refuse. There is some talk of difficulties o the pa form in which the Senate will draw up the S Consulte, conferring the title of Emperor upon I Napoleon. The opinton appears o be that it will be as simple as possible, merely de ng the French Empire to be hereditary in the family of L, s Napoleon, giving him authority to name his suc of his having no male issue. This will have the effect of !seer in the event avoiding unnecessary discussion wt be incon. venient The corning Empire is already showing good results to France in the improvement of trade, not only in Paris, where all the manufacturers are briskly employed, and the shopkeepers doing an increased business, but the exports from the southern departments state that there is an active demand for silk. The celebrated Emir, Abd-el-Kader, is now her visit, after his liberation from his long confinement Chateau of Amboise ; he is said to be I e on a aly delighted at his approaching freedom There is little doing here in the occasion small way, except at the theatres, where all allusions to events excite considerable interest. It is said that the President has some intention of paying a visit to the northern provinces Rumours are again in circulation with reference to the marriage of the President with the Princess Wasa. The last on dit is that it is a settled affair, and that she is to embrace the Romish faith next week. MEETING OF PARLIAMENT. THE long expected opening of the now close at hand, the day of meeti New Parliamen ng being fired Thursday next. In accordance with the usual practice on these occasions, the Chancellor of the Exchequer, as Leader of the House of Commons, has addressed the fol lowing circular letter to those members who are believed to be friendly to Her Majesty's Government : " Downing-street, 18th October, 1852 " Sir,—The meeting of parliament has Thursday, the 4th November, when the H. mons will immediately proceed to the choice of a Speaker, and to the consideration of business of the highest im portance.

DISRAELI It is stated by the Morning Herald that the Address in the House of Lords will be moved by the Marquis of Bath, and seconded by the Earl of Donoughmore. A second circular has also been issued by Mr. Forbes Mackenzie, M.P., secretary to the treasury, who says : The re-election of the Speaker, to which I anticipate on the 4th of N no opposition, will take placb The Address will be moved on the 11th, and I ear request tha 'ou will take the oaths and your seat later than Tuesday, the 9th, or Wednesday, the 10th The oaths must be taken before four o'clock.
