TO CORRESPONDENTS. A correspondent who complains of the dirty state of the land ing stage in consequence of its being coated with tar and then covered with sand, recommends the coating of the deck with raw linseed oil, which would dry in a few hours, and do more for the preservation of the timber than any other com position. Our correspondent says that lie has seen decks coated with this oil several years since, that they now look as well as when first laid down. We had unfortunately Wreoort of the election at Wallasey in type before we received that forwarded by "A Reader of the Standard." 04.1“•••,•., • We were in error last week in stating that the Rev.

Yearly StiZ)scriralion : dvance, .D2l Cr issla TUESDAY HORNING, JULY FOR the first me within our remembrance, e driven to approach a with three con- ng for their suffrages ketch of the move which have brought conservatives of Liyet general election for the borou servative candidates appealii Elsewhere we have given a inents and division of parties cause which all conservatives, we believe, have at heart—the preservation of the valued institutions of their country in their integrity ; and we shall not here utter a remark further upon the subject, which may increase the breach which it is too cer tain has been created in the integrity and unity of the party to which we belong. We would heal that breach if we could. We would attempt it now, did we not feel that it was too late : as it is, we must content ourselves with the plain duty of offering the best advice in our power to our con servative readers, as to the course to be pursued in this unfortunate emergency. Of the three candidat - es iu question, Sir Digby Mackworth, Mr. Cardwell, and Lord John Man ners, it is pretty well understood that our prefer ence is given to the former. We admire him as a consistent and staunch Protestant—one who walks and has ever walked in the ways of our glorious reformation—and who is not swayed, or to be swayed, either to the right hand or to the left, by the pressure of personal or party inducements. Sir Digby, we know, is worthy and willing, and able to fight the battle of the Protestant Conser vatives of Liverpool—to stand in the breach against the advancing tide of Popish innovation—and to maintain in the senate, as he has maintained in the .field, the integrity of the institutions of this great monarchy and this enlightened country. Every Protestant elector, therefore, we conclude, will re cord one vote for Sir Digby Mackworth. The question, then, arise;,—how are those parties to act, who agree with the sentiments of Sir Digby upon the great question of the maintenance of vital Protestantism in the state, whilst they differ with him, in degree, upon the practical importance of this question, and in details, and in principles upon some questions which have a merely social or com mercial bearing ? We know that many parties of great influence and conscientious principles have declared that they feel themselves in a posi tion, as •to the great question of Protestantism, which leaves them no other alternative except to confine their vote to Sir Digby Mackworth. Whe ther the appearance of the two candidates—Sir Digby Mackworth and Lord John Manners—at the Amphitheatre this day, and the examination of the latter upon some doubtful points as to his principles, N vill turn some of these parties towards the course of giving to Lord John a second vote, we are not prepared to say. We _ _ er, to parties who may be so fs address and explanations, another candidate in the field, Mr. who miffht, had the opportunity been bled to place himself vourable position. And that there i CApd men ent] u eciu here, we may remark, that when, at the meeting of the Conservative Association, on Saturday, it was virtually decided that Sir Digby Mackworth and Lord John Manners were no longer the joint candi dates of the association : when, moreover, it was de clared that they were to meet the Conservative elec tors of the borough, relying only upon their indi vidual claims, and the strength and soundness of their individual opinions, for the support of the elec tors, it was the duty of this association to place the three candidates in their original position, and to invite Mr, Cardwell, as well as the other two can didates, to meet the electors on this day. It is little more than justice to the themselves, as well as to 'onserva rectors Jr.,. Cardwell, that this .n done ; and there is time for it should have be even yet But, with respect to those parties who feel, as we feel, that we have given to us by the Constitu tion the privilege of recording a second vote; and that it is our duty to record that vote, provided, by so doing, we can secure the services of a second candidate of better principles than would I turned, by leaving the choice of such second can- didate to circumstances, or to the influence of the direct opponents of the principles which we hold dear. What should be the course of such electors? Obviously, a diligent examination of the princi ples, and the comparative deserts and capacities to serve the borough, of the other candidates offered them to select from. Let us enter into this inquiry. The other ConservatiVe candidates are Lord John Manners and Mr. Cardwell; and as the claims of the former gentleman have been, at one meeting, sanctioned by the Conservative Association—a body of gentlemen to whom we have always been accus inmpd fn nay deference_ we shall first canvass his Lordship's claims. market, and consequent suffering of domestic industry. In proof of this fact we may quote from The soundness of his Protestant principles must naturally claim our first attention ; and, as bearing an article in the Journal of the Ministry of the upon this subject, we beg to refer to some of his past Interior, for June (published in St. Petersburg), speeches, in another column, ad voca t ing th e re - es t a - the substance of w hi c h we have given elsewhere, blishment of monastical institutions in the country, the following extract, showing that increased ex both by Churchmen and members of the Romish ports and profits of grain from any country do creed, and the recognition by the State of the order of not of necessity imply an increased ability in the Jesuits in particular.

IN maintaining, on Friday night, in the discus sion of the new Bishoprics Creation Bill, the doc trine that a strict adherence to a declaration made ten years ago by the ecclesiastical commissioners, to the effect that "they were not nrenared to re- comment he tota )er of epis- copal sees," was "carrying the doctrine of findlily to an extraordinary extent," the Premier, Lord John Russell, argued that the church, like every other stances of the times ; and that the large increase of our population, during the last ten years, war ranted an increase of episcopal superintendence. " It seemed to him," his lordship said, "to be a prin ciple belonging to every communion, ecclesiastical or civil, to every commercial house, and to every railway company, that in proportion to the quantity of business . done should be the amount of the superintendents at the head of the establishment. (Hear, bear.) Such would be the rule followed by any rational body of men, looking We accept the principle as applicable to every communion, ecclesiastical or civil, to every commercial house, and to every commercial na tion, that the superintendence, and the instru ments and means as well, should be propor tionate to the work or business done ; and we admit, with him, that, where that work or business has largely increased, to insist that the means by which it is to be conducted shall be inexorably bound down within an arbitrary limit, is indeed " carrying the doctrine of finality to an extraor- A trader, whose increased bu siness has compelled him to employ an additional shopman, cannot employ him to much advantage, if he confines his establishment to the original one dinar . i extent." pair of scales and one set of weights with which he commenced. A railway company, when its passengers become double the number, not only augments the number of its officers, but its stock of locomotives and carriages. " Such," at least, to use his lordship's very just observation, "would be the rule followed by any rational body of men, looking only to the good management of the concern to which they belonged." We invite his lordship, and the admirers of the monetary laws of Sir Robert Peel, to apply this rule to the operation of those laws. We ask them if, when everything else is allowed and even stimu lated, to progress, to insist that the laws which regulate the circulating medium of the country, whatever that medium may be, should alone be unchanged and unchangeable, is not carrying the doctrine of finality to an extraordinary extent ? The corn law of 1828 was boasted of as a final adjustment. Its successor, the sliding scale, was to be final. It solved every difficulty, and was regarded, by its authors at least, as the perfection of legislative sagacity; yet it was swept away by the very hands that framed it, The Currency Bill of 1819 was a final measure; yet the same hand which framed it gave us the Bank Charter Act of 1844, as more suited to the circumstances of the times. Why is this to be the exception to all other works of man's intellect ? Why is it to be held as sacrilege to touch it, to talk of it, or even to point at it ? We are at a loss to conceive ; and we tell the authors and admirers of both these measures that the country, which has of late been witnessing and experiencing the cruel effects of their arbitrary pressure will not be s at least an effo - rt to procure a full inquiry into the whole subject, and an adaptation of the circulation to the altered circumstances of our social and com mercial position. . _ ff Regulations Act of 1842 and the subsequent repeal of the corn laws, aggravated in their effect by a deficient harvest and the loss of the potato crop, produced altered cir cumstances, which irresistibly demand a removal sion of the contraction of the commercial power of the country, caused by these measures. The grain and bread-stuffs of the whole world is rushing to our shores, and whether we require it or not, will inevitably absorb a large amount of OUT gold cir culation to pay for it, in the first instance, although a large portion of the supply may subsequently be re-exported to countries more in need of it than ourselves. The circumstances of our position will always make us the chief factors of Continental Europe and America. A new and extensive busi- We have not the Tari ness is thus forced upon us, which it will require an increased available capital to enable us to con duct. Our high credit will not stand us in great stead here; for credit, or its representative—Bills of Exchange—must always be regulated by the state of the Exchanges. In 'the case of a mere business in corn, as factors for other nations, and conceding the very improbable supposition that we shall require no bread-stuffs for the consumption of our own people, the withdrawal from circulation of the necessary bullion required for grain purchases, even for the few months required to enable that bullion to come back to us circuitously in exchange for our exports, must cripple every other branch of industry, depress the value of all railway and other securities, and bring us continually into the jaws of a money panic. It is idle to imagine that a large investment of capital in grain, either for our own use, or for the casual wants of other countries, can ever produce such an immediate demand for our own manufac- tured fabrics in return, as will protect us from, at least, a temporary derangement of our_ money lay no st than that, tlience, we may si timately acqt man o be ackno ferred, as a the candid se grounds, we ma of the best eon Lercial rei h our local affairs.

Chant, a manufacturer, a tradesman, who did not feel the contraction of the circulating medium insisted upon by Sir Robert Peel's bill—the double contraction caused-by gold going out of the coun try, and bank notes being drawn, pari passu, out of the discount market. Yet what was the state of things in America at the very time we were thus suffering at home ? A similar return, from the " Commercial Glance," will tell us : Ist 6 mos., 1846. Ist 6 mos., 1847.

What is the conclusion to be drawn from this ? Why, that both the increased exports of British manufactures to America, and of American grain to thi country, must be carried on with British capital ; yet this increased business is to be conducted with a currency inflexibly fixed at a yiven and very con fined limit. What can be the result of such a legis lative stipulation but continually recurring periods of financial pressure, such as that, from which we flatter ourselves, somewhat too sanguinely, that we are now emerging. Are we not at this moment ap proaching a repetition of the same state of things ? We had intended to have noticed a very able letter from Mr. Isaac Buchanan, of Glasgow, upon the whole subject,, in which that eminently pratical gentleman has propounded such an en larged and improved system of currency as he maintains with great force of reasoning, can alone enable us to conduct satisfactorily an enlarged commerce. We must postpone this, however, for the present. Our object in recurring to the subject at all is to impress its vast importance upon the constituency, and to call upon them to satisfy themselves, with respect to it, as to the opinions of the various candidates, who present themselves for their suffrages. It cannot be permitted to sleep. The country must be protected from the operation of a system, which renders every variation of com merce from its usual channels a source of suffering to thousands, depreciating the value of property, turning the best securities into worthless paper, and preventing mercantile men from pushing their operations at the very times when they may be pushed with the greatest advantage to the national industry. TO THE LORD JOHN MANNERS MY LORD,—It is not owing to any want of respect, that I address you thus publicly, nor is it from any re luctance to avow rny principles in my own name, that I-do so under a general designation : the matter is of public moment, so the individual may be allowed to merge in the magnitude of his subject. The straightforward character of your address on Friday last, breathing throughout the manly candour that so well befits your birth and rank, has already won you golden opinions; but,,my lord, it has not gone far enough, and it is because another opportunity is afforded you to-mor row, that I venture to bring under your lordship's notice ' one or two points that, you may rest assured, are regarded of paramount consideration by more than a thousand (at the least) of humble, but honest and conscientious electors. In ordinari times a course like this might perhaps be open to question, but you, yourself, my lord, have added your own, to the already high sanction of Burke, for the adoption of extraordinary courses to meet extraordinary I emergencies. The points to which I allude are-Ist, Tractarianism ; and, 2nd, the Statutes of Mortmain ;—with both of these subjects your lordship's name has been rather prominently associated. It is not unreasonable, then, that the Protes tant electors of this important borough--to the represen tation of which you personally aspire—should be desirous to hear from your own lips a candid and explicit statement of your views and feelings on each of these most momen tous points. If you have been rightly informed as to the great mass of the constituency of Liverpool, you will consider them as sound-hearted Protestant Churchmen, supporting the church from an intelligent conviction of her truth and use fulness—loving her for her bold fidelity in proclaiming apostolic truth, and her firm moderation in enforcing apostolic order—attached to her as she is, interpreting her articles and services according to the spirit of those who compiled them, not according to the Romish gloss of Tract No. 90, which even the Bishop of Exeter condemned, as containing just " truth enough to make its falsehoods dangerous." Men of this kind must necessarily be sen sitive upon a point that virtually affects principles to which they are ardently attached ; and must needs be certified that they are not, upon any considerations whatsoever, supporting a candidate at all inclined to look with com placency upon a system that has already deprived our be loved church of so many " Claras illustresque, animas, impune et vindice nutlo." A system, whose direct tendency is to swell the ranks of those over whom an accomplished foreigner, M. Jules Gondon, rejoices, in the publication of works, the very titles of which are, or ought to be most humiliating to us, viz., "Movement religieux en Angleterre:" " Conversion de cent cinquante mirastres Anglicans, on personnes de destinction :" " Motifs de conversion de diz ministres Anglicans," &c., &c.

EGREMONT FERRY.—The new landing stage at this ferry, which was found not to act well, is undergoing improvements in the working department, which, it is expected, will render it in all respects commodious and efficient, so as to supersede the necessity of landing and embarking passengers from or to the steamers in a small boat at low water. It is intended to pull down the stage, to meet the steamers at low water, by means of an endless chain passing through a large iron block or sheave, fixed a considerable way out, and worked by the engine above, in place of the winch hitherto employed, with but occa sional success. A. large diving-bell and two flats are em ployed to extend the outworks of the pier for this purpose, with a number of men at all available times of the tide. We hope to be enabled to give a favourable report of the result of these operations in a fortnight or three weeks. ANOTHER DEATH AT THE RAILWAY TUNNEL, EDGE "His lordship is asked, (Q. 570,) 'Does your experience as a Irish clergyman lead you to apprehend undue influence with 1117.. L.—An inquest was held yesterday, before P. F. Curry, Esq., on view of the body of Joseph Ward. Deceased was twenty-four years old, and was employed, with others, persons, particularly in sickness, from clergymen or others, for the purpose of obtaining grants or bequests for the church?' Certainly not. There is nothing in the principles of our church which need lead any person to entertain such an appre hension, even in theory, and I believe in practice, it is equally groundless. * * * I think in respect to the Roman Catholic clergy there would be great reason to apprehend this influence, because the doctrine of the Roman Catholic Church is this : at the new Tunnel, for the London and North Western Railway Company. On the Ist instant, he was employed. at one of the, shafts in Mason-street, Edge Hill. There was a piece of rock, of 18 or 201 b. weight, which had been hoisted up the shaft in the skip or bucket. Soon after a noise was heard, and deceased was found lying on the ground, and a piece of rock lying near him. Blood issued from his ears, and he was quite insensible. He was instantly taken up the shaft, and conveyed to the In firmary. The shaft is about 26 yards deep, and, at the time the noise was heard, the skip little more than half way down. The stone had, no doubt, fallen out of the skip upon the deceased, who was then at the bottom of the shaft. Mr. Mc. Cheane, surgeon, said deceased was brought to the Infirmary on the day stated. He had sus tained a compound fracture of the skull, of which he died, on Saturday last. Verdict " Accidental Death." MISCONDUCT OF A POLICE-OFFICER.—At the Police court, yesterday, two men, William Wynstanley and Thomas Warwick, were charged by police-officer Nelson Lees (No. 185) with committing a most violent assault upon his person, of which, indeed, his appearance bore ample testimony, as he seemed to be much battered. From the evidence, however, it appeared that the com plainant, while in a questionable state of sobriety, had, late on Saturday night or Sunday morning, fallen in with the prisoner Warwick, in Hygeia-street, and skipped or danced about with him on the flags close to Warwick's lodgings, in a court. Warwick invited him in, and they partook together of some bacon and bread. While they were enjoying themselves, the other prisoner (Wynstan ley), who was landlord of the house, came home, and questioned the officer as to his business there, requiring him to leave the house. This he refused to do, and the landlord endeavoured to put him out. The officer there upon struck Wynstanley, and a regular battle ensued between them, the other prisoner interposing to separate them, but this was not effected until the officer was much injured. Warwick gave his testimony in a very straight forward manner, and the other was scarcely behind him. Some corroboration was also adduced. Mr. Rushton iiTs - COnfssealy taught in the writings of both Testaments that there are three most convenient modes of washing out the stains of sin—alms, pra.'ers, fastings—and that it is altogether reasonable that one of these fountains should flow abundantly when the others fail and are (hied up.' (571.) 'And, there fore, if dying persons are persuaded that by leaving large be quests for charitable purposes, or for the purpose of having so many masses said for the repose of their souls, they can wash out the stains of sin, or escape a certain period of the trains of purgatory, there would be great danger of unjust disherision. The danger of this is of course much less in our own church, which teaches no such doctrine, but merely instructs the cler gyman, when visiting a dying man, to exhort him to settle his worldly affairs, and to be liberal to the poor. I may add that I hove been informed on authority, which I believe to be credible, that an eminent Roman Catholic of the present day, in England, said, that if the Jiortmain Act was repealed, he would require no other measure in favour of. the Roman. Catholic Church.' " In making these extracts, I am not rash enough for a moment to suppose your Lordship unacquainted with any thing that is in them ; my only object is to direct your attention to the connection in which, upon this subject, many of the electors of Liverpool would desire to be en lightened as to your Lordship's views. It is not enough to speak of protective or prohibitory clauses in any bill affecting the Church of Rome. Its character was well and truly sketched long ago, in the parliamentary remon strance to James 1., "Popery has a restless spirit, and will strive by these gradations; if it once but get a con nivance, it will press for toleration, if that be obtained, Papists must have equality, and from thence they will aspire to superiority, and will never rest till they get a subversion of true religion." With an almost prophetic spirit, we may say, have these words been dictated, up to the very last point, whereupon Lord Arundel, not very long ago in the House of Commons spoke thus : "His honourable friend who had just sat down," (Sir Roar. 1 H. I NGLIS,) " had said, that is t p h e e r yZi l r s cl a i o o r f e e Rome a,h was aX a af aos ii longsti c a to s ti ma Protestantism.

The members of lodge 24, however, determined to , spend tire afternoon in the country, and for that purpose they resorted to the delightful village of Childwall, and dined at Childwall Abbey, on a most sumptuous banquet, provided by the worthy host, Mr. Rimmer. The chair was ably filled by J. Payne, Esq. ; and the vice-chair, by R. L. Clay, Esq. The usual loyal toasts and sentiments were drank and responded.to, and many excellent speeches de livered—amongst which is especially deserving of notice that, alas, proved not strong enough for the Council of Constance, and the opposing interests of the Church of Rome. It may be replied, these instances are obsolete, &c. ; it is to keep them obsolete still, and to leave no power to Rome adequateto their re-enactment amongst ourselves, that I earnestly beseech your Lordship to pause before you remove any of the few remaining checks that the w isdom of our forefathers have erected in defence of the liberties of the country that they loved, and of the purity and free exercise of that religion for which they shed their blood. I have no other than a public object in view, and so I make no apology for this, which, other wise, had been an unreasonable trespass. n these grounds I gladly support Sir Digby Mackworth, and am desirous also to support your lordship; your speech to morrow will decide whether I can or not. Meantime I have the honour to remain, with much respect for your candour and general character, My Lord, an eloquent address from Joseph Alhiay, Esq., of Birming ham, in the.course of which the speaker referred to a cir cumstance too much overlooked in the present day. After noting the occasion which renders the 12th July memorable and dear to the heart of every true Protestant, the speaker observed that, to every Lancashireman, the day must be one of congratulation ; for another reason, as it was on the 12th July, 1649, when an illustrious member of the aris tocracy of this country had his principles tested as fiercely as any Protestant during the days of 1688. (Hear, hear.) It was on that occasion when Commissary-General Ireton offered to grant to the Earl of Derby the whole of his estates if he would only give up his loyalty ; but what was the answer the noble Earl returned to the traitorous mes sage ? His words deserved to be remembered. He said : —" I received your letter with indignation and with scorn. I return you this answer,—that I cannot but wonder whence you should gather any hopes that Dike you should prove_treacherous to any Sovereign. * * I scorn your proffers ; I disdain your favours ; I abhor your treasons;" and he concluded by saying,—" If you trouble me with any more messages upon this occasion, I will burn the paper and hang the bearer." (Hear, hear.) H e h ope d the same feeling in favour of the Protestant cause which animated the Earl of Derby predominated in the breast of the present Lord Stanley. (Cheers.) He looked to Lord Stanley with affection and regard, in the hope and belief that he would hold fast by the peat prin ciples of the British constitution, which is based on Pro testantism and founded on the Word of God. (Cheers.) The speaker then proceeded at considerable length, and in eloquent terms, to notice the peculiar position in which the country is at present placed, owing to the prevalence of the doctrines of expediency rather than those of firm reliance upon principle, and exhorted his hearers to be ready at the forthcoming election to support only such candidates as would maintain through good report and through evil report the great principles of Protestantism, as those alone were likely to perpetuate on a secure basis civil and religious liberty. (Loud cheers.) Your Lordship's obedient servant, A PROTESTANT ELECTOR July 19th, 1847 THE WEATHER AND THE CROPS. — Never within the memory of man did the country present a more luxuriant and promising appearance. All the crops look well, and notwithstanding the cold in the early part of the summer, there can be little doubt but we shall have an early general harvest. Some few instances of blight in the potato have appeared in this neighbourhood, but the crop (of earlies) so far, is on the whole abundant, and we repeat that dis ease of this exotic root has every year, more or less, been experienced. The wheats are fine, heavy, and approach ing to filling. Oats are splendid—in some parts already assuming the autumnal hue. All other articles are pro portionately healthy and vigourous. The hay has been nearly all got in, in prime order—a capital crop, both in weight and quality. We had some very sultry weather for three or four days last week, after which thunder and heavy rains might have been expected; but, luckily, only a feeding shower or two fell, giving new vigour to growing crops, and but for a few hours suspending the labours of the haymakers. A few more sunny and breezy days like yesterday will see all the dried grass safely stacked. tatoes and all domestic garden stuffs are becoming every day cheaper in our markets.

Yesteaday, a most numerous and highly influential meeting of the voters and free burgesses of Everton Ward, was held in Halliday's coffee-house, for the purpose of meeting Sir Digby Mackworth, and hearing him de clare his sentiments. Long before the appointed hour (seven o'clock), the room, the lobbies, and a large por tion of the space in front of the house, was crowded by a large concourse of the electors. About five minutes past seven o'clock, Sir Digby Mackworth, accompanied by T. B. Horsfall, Esq., J. S. Leigh, Esq., Thomas Carson, Esq., F. Shand, Esq., and a numerous circle of friends arrived in vehicles from town. They were received with three hearty cheers of congratulation and welcome. He then proceeded up stairs, where he met with a warm and•cordial reception ; but owing to the number of people who were present, many of the more timorous-minded left the room, lest an accident should occur. When order was established, FRANCIS SHAND, Esq., was called to the chair, amid the repeated plaudits of the meeting, and addressed the meeting in a brief but eloquent speech, in the course of which he introduced Sir Digby to the meeting, as being the consistent advocate of religious liberty as based on on their glorious Protestant Constitution. (Cheers.) Sir DIGRY MACKWORTR then came forward and was received with repeated bursts of applause. When silence was restored he proceeded to say that the short time which must necessarily intervene between then and the election would prevent him from making a personal can vass of the gentlemen and freemen of the borough. In deed to attempt doing so would be a physical impossibility. He felt extremely gratified at beholding the great number of electors by whom that meeting was kindly attended. That meeting—he should have said enthusiastic meeting —to see and hear him declare his sentiments. (Hear, hear, and loud cheers.) He was glad to see them, and he was also glad to see the numbers of electors whom he had seen that day, for he should be very sorry to present himself as a candidate for the honour of representing so large and influential an assemblage as that of Liverpool wtthout first making himself known to them, if not per sonally, at least by the expression of his sentiments to every gentleman and freeholder in the borough of Liverpool. He was only desirous to come before them at the ward meetings, in order that they might understand the princi ples upon which he wished to rest, and not that he might catch a few stray votes; and with regard to those great principles, he should be hapyy to answer any question which any gentleman present pleased to ask. Any gentle man might ask any legitimate question which he pleased, and be shonld have a fair, candid, and straightforward reply. In a place like Liverpool—so great an emporium of commerce—so great a city of enterprise and industry must be a vast number of questions, which, although infe rior in degree to the great question of religion, yet they were of snch a nature that, taking into consideration the great talent of their former representative, he felt consi derable diffidence in following a man of his abilities. If he succeeded by their voice, and should be returned by their suffrages, he should do his utmost to promote their interest, and pay every attention to their affairs in his power, and he hoped that he should yet; by industry and attention, be enabled to make a good and a faithful repre sentative for them. His only hope was, by unwearied attention to their affairs, assisted by the great talent and business-like energies and experience of the most in fluential and best informed gentlemen in the bo rough, he would at least be enabled to represent their interests in the imperial parliament, and he would promise to do all in his power to promote them. (Cheers.) If there was any other question on which they desired to know his principles, he would be, as he said before, most anxious to answer them if they were put, and he would avow his principles fully and fairly. He had taken the trouble of putting his opinions on all the great questions of the day in writing, and he had shown that document to several of the gentlemen by whom he was supported, in order that they might know for whom, and for what principles they were voting. (" Hear, hear," and Kent ish fire.) He next alluded to the Navigation Laws. He had always believed that those laws which had been de vised by one who—whatever else he might have been — was one of the greatest thinkers, and one of the ablest men which the country has produced—he alluded to Oliver Cromwell—were not likely to be founded in error. (" Hear, hear," and cheers.) These laws were afterwards confirmed by Charles the Second, and by them the foundation was laid for their national greatness. He mentioned this because from that moment might be dated the greatness of England—for from those laws sprung that little fleet which, in the times of danger and invasion, defeated the great Spanish Armada, and secured to the people of England civil freedom and religious liberty. (Enthusiastic cheers and Kentish fire.) They were well aware that at that time England had not so great a fleet as she had now. It was under the protective influence of those laws that their commerce had extended to the amazing extent which it had done, and under it the navy had risen in successive advances in greatness until it became the first navy in the world; and it proved itself in a time of the direst emergency superior to all the navies in the world. (Cheers.) He did not therefore think that a total change in the navigation laws would work for the benefit of the prosperity of England. (Loud cheers and Kentish fire.) He would say :therefore that those laws which they had tried, and found to be good, should be retained. (Hear, hear, and cheers.) Still it %light be found upon enquiry that they would be the bet ter of being altered a little in some of the details, and if such was the fact it was clear that they should be amended ; but whilst he said so he was formerly of opinion that the principle of the Navigation Laws were to be maintained in all their integrity, in order to secure the nation from the machinations and devices of those who would lower England to promote their own selfish ends. (Hear, hear, and cheers.) On the subject of taxation he wished to say a few words, and begged to premise that he was not going to catch their votes by declaring himself to be an advocate for the abolition of taxation. (Hear, hear.) The nation had incurred a certain amount of debt in one of the most useful and one of the most men meritorious wars which any people had ever engaged in, and as thas debt, or the interest of it, had to be paid, they were under the heavy responsibility of sustaining that payment by sufferinga certain amount:of taxation. (Hear.) Still, he believed, whilst he firmly supported the principle of taxation, that great improvements might be made in the kind 'of taxes which were imposed, particularly on the poorer classes. (Hear, hear, and loud applause.) In connection with the subject of taxation, there was another question which came home to the poorest man in the kingdom—lie meant the poor-laws. (Hear, hear.) He had been chairman of the Board of Guardians in the town of Newport from the beginning of the opera tions of that law, and he had carefully watched its pro gress. (Hear, hear.) When they first commenced to work the law, an assistant commissioner came down from London to instruct them in the way in which they ought to proceed, but after they had studied the law and its working, they came to the conclusion that they would not be longer dictated to by the commissioner. They did not approve of a portion of that law, and they therefore de termined not to enforce it. They did not approve of the , principle of separating mau and wife—(loud cheers)—and therefore they told the commissioner that they never would be parties to any law, the principle of which went to separate man and wife, because God had inflicted them with ca sual poverty—had subjected them to the vicissitudes of life. (Hear, hear, and cheers.) They at once told them (the Commissioners) that they should never allow any set of men in London to legislate on the local affairs of their parish or union, and decide whetherthe aged peasant;who had spent half a century in his humble cot, should be dragged to the workhouse, or should receive his relief in his own humble home, or whether the just and holy ordi nances of God's sacred word should be violated, and the poor paupers separated, husband from wife, when they sought for that relief from the press of poverty which the law allowed them. (Cheers.) It might be some what egotistic in him to mention this, but he did so just to show how the law was carried out with them, and he could aver for a fact, that during the whole of the time which had elapsed since, they had never seperated a man from awife, nor had they even forced a poor man to come to the workhouse from his own door, (Cheers.) Reasonable minded men would ask how they managed that, and therefore he would tell them. They told their constituents if they compelled them to carry out the law to its full extent they might get other instru ments to do so. (Hear, hear, and cheers.) And since although it was one of the most pupulous districts, and one where considerable party feeling existed, there never was a single word of complaint against that Board of Guardians. (Hear, hear.) With regard to another sub ject—that was respecting the votes which had been taken away by a recent act from many . of the most respectable freemen of the borough—his opinion was that the prin ciple and spirit of the English Constitution went to ex tend the elective franchise to any man who could be bene fitted by the possession of it ; and, therefore, he should wish and franchise to the fr ote for the extension o Len of the borough. (Hear, There was just one other question on which h sirous of, saying a few words, because it was caused him to be brought down to solicit thei a question, the Leeply in- and confidence importance of which every Christian man v _____.____ The Hon. Bart. then procc consistent views relatiue to the protestant institutions of this country, and concluded by assurifig the meeting that should they elect him he should never desert his colours. (Loud and enthusiastic cheers, in the midst of which Sir terested Led to expl Rigby resumed his scat. The meeting was afterwards addressed by T. B. Hors. fall, Esq., and Thomas Curson, Esq., when a resolution pledgingthe meeting to support Sir Digby, was carried bl acclamation; after which the meeting adjourned to KIRKDALI A second meeting with the electors subsequently took place on the same (last) evening, in the same ward, but in the district of Kirkdale. It was appointed to be at the Bull Inn (Mrs. Bulmer's), on the Walton-road ; but the accommodation was so inadequate for the assemblage, that the candidate and his friends were constrained to seek as a dernier resort the yard, or lane, at the back of the premises. There was a goodly attendance notwith standing the lateness of the hour (nearly nine o'clock), and a general enthusiasm and kindly feeling prevailed towards the respected candidate and his friends. We no ticed present Mr, T. B. Horsfall, Mr. A. Hodgson, Mr. J. S. Leigh, and others. Mr. HORSFALL (who was called to the chair), in intro ducing the candidate to the electors, stated that he con sidered Sir D. Mackworth the most fit person to represent them in Parliament. They could not expect from him in the first instance, all that had been accomplished by their late representative, Lord Sandon, but in the end he might be equally efficient, and in some points his superior. The noble lord had done them good service in commercial and other matters, but he had latterly, by his Parliamentary conduct in adopting the views of Sir R. Peel, split their party up. After a few further observations, which could not be noted in the dusk and the crush of the bystanders, he concluded by a general eulogium on the character and July 20, 1847. uprightness of the candidate, which was followed by loud cheering._ Sir D. 111Acxwon.TH said he was greatly indebted to the chairman for the kind manner in which he had intro duced him to the meeting. Had he not been invited by an influential portion of the constituency, he would not, being a stranger, have appeared as a candidate, and should have been the less inclined to do so had he not felt that call to be for the support of the Protestant cause. He had already spoken of the navigation laws, the mainte nance of which he looked upon as the great means of promoting through England, and through Liverpool especially, that maritime supremacy which was the glory of the country ; and he hoped Liverpool would take the lead in that important element. (Hear, and applause.) He next adverted the new poor-law, expressing his opinion that local boards were more adequate to manage such matters than three gentlemen resident in London. He repeated his opinions on the tea question ; advocated an abolition or reduction of the window duties, and several other imposts, so far as was consistent with the financial and honourable engagements of the country; expressed his kindly feeling to Catholic Ireland, but his determina tion not to endow her Roman Catholic priesthood, for the sake of her people and the priests themselves, and con cluded a general appeal to those who heard him, and a desire to reply to any questions that might be put. He spoke with more fluency and more vigour than he had ex hibited, we think, at the Exchange, and sat down amidst loud cheers. Mr. Hodgson addressed the meeting at slime length, and in an eloquent manner, as afterwards did Mr. Hors fall. No questions were put to the candidate. A resolution was unanimously passed, to the effect that Sir Digby Mackworth was a fit person to represent the town, and, after repeated cheers in his behalf, the meet ing separated. MR. ENTWISLE AGAIN A CANDIDATE FOR SOUTH LANCASHIRE It is with great gratification that we have to announce to our readers, that Mr. Entwisle, the valued colleague of Mr. W. Brown in the representation of South Lanca shire, has been induced, by the circumstance of no other candidate being in the field, and by the solicitation of his friends, to offr himself again for that division. It will be admitted that there are few members who have more faithfully acquitted himself of the trust imposed in him than our own valued county member. It will be remem bered that, in announcing a short while ago, -his determi nation not again to solicit a seat, Mr. Entwisle stated that he could no longer conscientiously advocate the views which he originally entertained with respect to our fiscal policy. To this opinion he still adheres, as expressed in the following paragraph of his address, published in the London Times of yesterday : " In my last address I stated freely, and without reference to my own prospects, the altered views which had been forced upon my mind by the distressing circumstances in which this country, and more especially Ireland, had been placed by the alarming deficiency of food, against any recurrence of which we are bound to provide by every means in our power. That the changes already effected necessitate the reconsideration of many other questions of our poli c y, d omest i c and colonial as well as foreign, a man must be bold indeed to deny. -Justice and consistency both demand the application of the same law for all. I shall be prepared, in whatever station, public or private, I may be . placed, to advocate the progressive adaptation of our commercial system to the new state of our tariff and our altered relations both at home and abroad, and I earnestly and confiden tially hope that the enterprize and perseverance of our mer chants and manufacturers, backed by the skill and industry of our people, will not only render successful the struggle they have themselves to encounter, but afford a useful example to our fellow-countrymen engaged in agriculture of the only means by which success can be permanently secured." We heartily wish him the success which his past con scientious course has merited ; and, in fact, we confi dently expect that he will be returned without a contest, as there seems no probability of Mr. Villiers consenting to become a bona fide candidate. LATEST INTELLIGENCE. (BY EXPRESS.) LONDON CORN MARKET YESTERDAY, Thee weather has undergone a complete change since our last report. On Saturday we had a thunder-storm and heavy rain, the temperature considerably lower, and the barometer indi cating more rain. The letters received this morning from various parts of Eng land, report an extensive blight in wheat, beans, and peas, and the disease in potatoes manifesting itself in the United (ing dom, as well as in Ireland, Holland, and Belgium. At' this day's market there was a more liberal supply of Eng lish wheat, and the general runs from Essex more inferior in quality. Factors demanded 4s. to ss. perquarter more money, which checked business; but ultimately a fair clearance was effected at about 2s. per quarter above the currescy of this day week. In foreign their was a good healthy consumption, country demand, but_ no advance could be generally established. The trade in Indian corn is for the present paralised, in con sequence of the government interference with the mechrants' trade in Ireland, complaints of which reach us- from all parts of that kingdom. Barley and malt stationary. Egyptian beans in good demand, at 2s. to 3s. advance. Peas is. to 2s. dearer. Lts being more moderate, the turn in price The arrivals of on was in favour of sellers SMITHFIELD CATTLE MARKET The scarcity of really prime Beef, the unfavourable change in the weather for slaughtering, and the increased attendance of country buyers, mostly from the west of England, prOduced a very steady, though not to say brisk, inquiry for the best Scots, Herefords, runts, Devons, and shorthorns, at fully the currencies obtained on this day se'nnight, the former breed selling freely at from 4s 10t1 to 58, per 8 lb, but the middling and inferior kinds of Beef meta slow sale, yet late rates were mostly supported. . _ _ The supply of Sheep was limited, owing to which the Mutton trade was steady, at prices quite equal to those paid on• Friday last—being 2d. per 81b. higher than on Monday. The best old Downs sold at ss. 4d. ; and inferior half-breds quite ss. per 81b., at which rates a clearance was effected without difficulty. The number of lambs was tolerably good, but of very midi filing quality. Compared with that experienced on some pre. vious market days, the lamb trade was very firm, at Friday's advance in the quotations of 2d per 81b ; the best:Down quali ties realizing 6s. 4d. per 81b. With calves we were but mode rately supplied, while the trade was heavy at late rates. In pigs next to nothing was doing. MONEY MA.REET- -YESTERDAY It is believed that there are still some accounts unadjusted on the Stock Exchange, which has contributed to render busi ness otherwise inactive, still more limited. Consols have been stationary at 89i a for the account, sales having been made at both fractions, and for money per cent. lower. Reduced Three per Cents. have been sold at 89 a,.the Three and-a-Quarter per Cents. at 911 1 4, Bank Stock 1971, Exchequer-bills are 9 12, and India Bonds 5 10 premium. WHEN WILL THE ELECTION TARE PLACE ?—lt seems now pretty certain that Parliament will be prorogued on Thursday, and, in that event, the writ will,probably be in the hands of the Mayor, as returning officer, on Saturday, and if so, we believe it has been decided that the nomi nation for this borough shall take place on Wednesday (to-morrow) week, and the polling on the following day. Colonel Lyndsay and T. B. Crosse, Esq., have come forward as the Conservative candidates for Wigan. Mr. A. P. Astley, of Dukinfield Hall, has acceded to the requisition of the liberal association of North Cheshire to become a candidate at the ensuing election.

VIOLENT STORM AT SOUTHAMPTON.—This town and its environs were visited, at half-past one o'clock on Saturday morning, with one of the most violent storms of thunder and lightning, accompanied with rain, ever re membered in the town. The lightning was terrific, and the thunder most awfully loud. The storm continued, with very little intermission, until ten o'clock. At a vil lage called Shirley, about wo miles from the -town, a house was entirely destroyed by the electric fluid, also nine sheep in the neighbourhood of Pear-tree-green. The weather continues very sultry, and portends a repetition of last night. CREWE.—Crewe is still making rapid progress, which an absence of fifteen months enables one to appreciate. During this period, the railway works have been greatly extended, and the number of workmen employed nearly doubled ; about 300 houses have been erected by the com pany, besides cottages contiguous to the village by private individuals ; a neat brick-built chapel for the congrega tionists, with Norman windows and Gothic entrance, capa ble of containing 200 worshippers, has been erected ; the churchyard has been fenced in, and there is now a verdant. sward encircling the solemn temple, where mounds of mortality are visible. . The _new station is progressing slowly, but it will really be au ornament to the Grand Junction line. Building, both by the company and pri vate individuals, is going on extensively •, and long ere each cottage is finished, it is taken, and many of the houses contain two and three families. A new town-hall has recently been erected, containing lecture class-roomss news-rooms, and library, for the use of the workmen. It is said the new colony now contains about 7,900 inha bitants and it may be anticipated that a very Mw years , will render Crewe the second town in Cheshire. Birken head has had a rapid growth, but in that respect has been excelled by Crewe. We should be glad to see more of these railway villages erected throughout the country, which the progress of trade, and the rapid increase of our population, seem to. require. Railway direetorsshould make their principal junctions the sites for new towns, and money thus spent would be equally as profitable as that invested in railways, while attention every suggestion that the discussions i towns has evolved, and thus the errors avoided in erecting residences for our fellow-beings- Throughout the village and its vicinity there is an air of comfort, respectability, and activity not to be seen in many old towns. The directors seem to do all to render the inhabitants healthy and happy by their arrangements- t be paid to he health of ar fore fathers MARRIED On the 12th instant, at St. James'E the Rev. H.
