Eitlenloot Z.tail-barb, FROM OUR LONDOIi RRESPONDEN7 IT may now be assumed as certain, be disso I in the n Monday Morning, that Parliament will idle of May, and that the new Par- liament will assemble in July. The ministers go to the country with no definite " cry," in the sense of the fac- tious cries of time past. It is assumed that constituencies s on the pror ,riety of reviving such administrations as that of Lord JOHN RUSSELL, or ged to a peroetual turmoil, miscalled pro- any other pie, gross ; and there is every reason to believe that ministers moment will have a considerable majority in the new Pari.. Be that as it may, they will not hesitate to stake their on the vote of confidence of the new House of existence Commons—a course politica!ly constitutional, personally honourable, and, beyond question, calculated to sustain the high character attributed to the Premier by all parties in the country The Chrystal Palace is to come down, and the material to be sold, according to the on Fox and HENDERSON, in reply to the Commissioners, valued the building as it stands at £65,834 7s. 11d., with nal contract Messrs the addition of the expense of maintaining it since the ist December.

It would have required re-constructing £5,000 a-year for the maintenance of the building. On the question, as to what purposes it could be applied, the Commissioners thought it unfit for a museum, and that Sir J. PAXTON'S plan of a winter garden could he carried much more cheaply and ppropriately as a separat, building. It was proposed to rl ernove the principal portion e structure to Kew, and add The GON it to the great conger- the garden meat, however, have put an end to speculation by announcing that they will adhere to the original contract, and have the building re moved by the Ist of May. A proposal-has been made to the Post-office authorities, and favourably received, that mercantile samples should go through the Post-office on terms similar to those on which books and scientific specimens are now sent. The privilege is proposed to be extended, ns of s k, cotton, woollen, and linen godds, articles to which th include patte A great deal of dissatisfaction is expressed, both by authors and publishers, as to the mode of conducting the Book Department of the British Museum.

While the new books cannot be seen for a lengthened period after their publication, the authorities ke air to their department by every now give a bu9ine and then bringing up a publisher to Bow-street for omit- ting to send a book, pamphlet, or number, as the case may be.

In the east, as in the west, not understand what we would have, and they doubt n whetherweknowourselves. Wecommand respect nowhere, and nowhere do we excite sympathy. We should be laughed at by Europe, and despised by our neighbours, if they could forget what we have been. "Call yourselves Conservatives ifyou will—short-sighted and narrow-minded statesmen, we can only laugh at you from pity; fur it argues incapacity and folly to preach the conservation of a weak and faulty system, instead of seeking for an efficacious one in its stead." The doubt as to whether the French even know them selves what they would have, is no way dispelled up to the present hour. What the more staid and valuable classes want is tranquillity and trade; and if Louis NAPOLEON is sincere in his desire for peace, and if he the peace of fair hardly toterati mes they have s avvkw-ar•! proceeds to obtain it by decreasing his armament, it does not seem greatly to affect foreign nations whether he be called Emperor, President, or Consul. It is very con fidently stated by the President's friends in England that he proposes to establish in Paris an Exhibition of All Nations, similar to the Palace of Hyde Park. It is stated that a considerable effort is about to be made to revive " Gresham College"—the munificent foundation of the sumptuous Sir THOMAS GRESHAM in the time of ELIZABETH. This college presents perhaps the most melancholy history of spoliation, malversation, and indifference, that ever appeared in the annals of any charity. Two or three lectures, delivered to two or three people, in the heart of the city, at 2 or 3 o'clock, when everybody is either at business or at dinner, form all that remains of what was intended to rival the proudest foun dations of Oxford. The project of the revival of Gresham College comes most opportunely; for surely certain of the City authorities, who are so anxious about cathedral trusts, the universities, and the inns of court, cannot re fuse to look after this piece of City jobbing. How power ful, for instance, in the matter, would be the voice of Mr. CHARLES PEARSON, City Solicitor, or Mr. DANIEL WHITTLE HARVEY, the Commissioner of Police. Half the abuse the latter lays on the benehers of the Inner Temple might work wonders, if applied to the Mercers' Company. It is stated, in quarters where there ought to be reliable information, that the Government will not give any effee tive opposition to Mr. TUFFNELL'S bill for abolishing the property qualification of members, but will add to it a clause abolishing pri 7ilegefrom arrest for debt, under certain conditions. The latter proposal seems very absurd, as only entailing the turmoil of new ejections where the political conduct of the representatives may be irreproachable. The probability is, that if there is truth in the rumour of ministers permitting Mr. TUFFNELL'S bill to pass on any terms, the necessity is forced upon them by the course which the irregular troops of the opposition intend to take upon the question. It will be remembered that Mr. TLFFNELL was the Treasury factotum of the Whigs, and that this no-property qualification clause was part of the abortive Reform Bill of the late Premier. They there fore, no doubt, fancy that the " men of no property" will be part of their contingent at the next election, and will support the bill. Its fate, however, will shortly be as certained. An extraordinary specimen of the Whigs was given on Friday night, during the delivery, by RanNAL OSBORNE, of a tirade of the most vulgar and stupid slang ever heard in the House of Commons. The chiefs of the defeated party positively applauded when Mr. OssonNE (who seemed strangely excited) declared that the house of STANLEY had been dishonourable and disloyal, and " that blood would out." Not even the insane falsehood of the statement, nor the coarse manner of its delivery, had any effect on the " centiemen " of the Opposition. The "oh ! oh !" came solely from the Ministerial side. This kind of conduct will do the party no gond in the however natural it may be to Mr. BERNAL Os who certainly, in attacking ancestry, dors not live in a glasshouse—the ancestry of the son of old RALPH BERN AL, the Jew, being rather difficult to discover. I may announce that the horrible atrocities frequently from the shipping of inordinate numbers of ~sign seamen on hoard our mercantile fleet, has drawn the attention of the Government to the effects of the repeal of the navigation laws, and it is not impossible that a considerable modification of that sudden and ill advised innovation will shortly take place. The evil ~• • .• have seldom been so quickly realized ag in the present TO THE PROTESTANT ELECTORS OF The masters terdam state - tl COMMERCLIL AND MONETARY NEWS. MONDAY NIGHT. Notwithstanding the factious opposition which the Whig and democratic sections of Parliament continue to give the Derby administration, the commercial and monetary affairs have steadily maintained the position indicated in our rema,ks of this night week. The follow ing is from a mercantile house of great eminence:— " There is little to report in our produce markets, and prices generally are rather lower. The factious opposition which the Radicals have determined upon pursuing towards Lord Derby's administration has much to do with this flatness ; and now that a dissolutioh of Parliament is inevitable, the sooner it comes off the better, as all parties are preparing for the approaching struggle." The Stock Market has been very buoyant, and the value of most of the leading English securities have advanced 1 per cent. The returns of the Bank of England, gazetted on Friday, are again favourable, and show an increase in the amount of bullion to the extent of £264,104. No change has yet been made in the rate of discount, but the general opinion is that, in consequence of the super abundance of unemployed capital,—now £19,674,174, — the hank directors will, at an early meeting, afford com mercial accommodation on lower terms than the present easy rates. We may here state that the half-yearly meet ing of the Bank of. England stockholders was held on Thursday, and an increase of 1- per cent. was made in the dividend, namely, to 4 per cent. for the six months, the profits being £546.572, and the rest, after deduction of the dividend. £3,022,070. During the proceedings, the governor explained that, owing to numerous frauds, no further lista of unclaimed dividends are published ; but that all facilities are given to interested applicants, and that an act of parliament—in abeyance—gave power to the lords of the treasury to create a special department for the purpose of facilitating the recovery of claims. As the Bank has no profit on these surplus funds, the state would have to provide for all exp en s e s ; an d th e governor inti mated his intention of consulting the Chancellor of the Exchequer on the subject. The return from the Bank of England for the week ending the 13th of March gives the following results when compared with the previous week : Public deposits .e 6,964,540 ; Increase .. £61,611 Other deposits Rest 3,618,491 ; Increase .... 1,963 On the other side of the account — Government securities. 13,567,593 ; Increase .... 2,270 Other securities Notes unemployed The amount of notes in circulation is £20,235,330, being a decrease of £1.990; and the stock of bullion in boi h departments is £19,674,174, showing an increase of £264,104, when compared with the preceding return. Consols have been in active request during the past week, and present appearances indicate that a further advance in prices is anticipated. The electric telegraph informs us that prices closed this afternoon 981 for Money and Account. Exchequer Bills, large and small, at 665. to 695. premium. We have had more activity in our share market during the past week than for some time back, and prices, in fluenced by very considerable both speculative and coati fide purchases, have materially advanced. With the exception of some slight pauses on Friday evening and Saturday, the tendency of prices has been decidedly upwards all week ; and it appears probable, from the current of speculation having fairly set in, that the advance will make much further progress. To-day, after an immense business, prices close at the highest point of the year, with no abatement in the demrnd, and a great scarcity of stock. The traffie retnrns of the several com panies exhibit the.same rate of increase over previous years as noticed in our former publications. For Royal Assurance, and same other of our local stocks, there is great inquiry. French shares have participated in the improvement, to the same extent as English. Gold mines continued very steady until Friday, upon which day an article (evidently got up by the speculators) appeared in the Times, calculated to depress the prices, which was successful to a certain extent ; they have, how ever, rallied to the extent of the decline, and close with an improving look.

From Tuesday until Friday the demand was sluzeish, and buyers had the advantage in price. The Baltic's advices, which came to hand on Friday forenoon, imparted more activity, and the market on that day closed at about the rates of the pre vious Friday. The week's sales were 44,800 bales, of which the trade took 30,000. The Brokers' Committee placed the value of fair Cotton at 51 for Uplands and Mobile, and 5 for Orleans. The market on Saturday and to-day was steady, but not active ; full prices were, however, paid. There is still much depression in all brenches of the Grain trade since this day week. Wheat and Flour have receded, the former 21. per bushel, and the latter 6d. to Is. per sack. It has been anticipated that, should a change of wind take place shortly, a further decline will be established. The farmers' deliveries are much greater than was expected, so that, everything considered, there is not much prospect of rising prices. . _ The Colonial markets during the week have been rather quiet, but quotations continue generally unaltered. Large parcels of sugar having been offered at the com mencement, some qualities were disposed of at cheap rates, hut suhccquently the market became rather firmer. The demand for Madras has been brisk, and better prices in some instances have been paid. Havana of inferior quality has realised an advance, but the good and fine sorts have not been S 3 fully dealt in. Coffee has been in moderate request, and fuller rates have been occasionally reali , ed. The accounts from the Dutch company's sale of Java, at Rotterdam, on the 15th instant, have not in fluenced the market ; the entire quantity offered was sold at rather lower prices for the inferior qualities, while the fine sorts, which were comparatively scarce, went at an advance. The tea market has somewhat receded from last week's ra►es. The accounts received from the manufacturing districts of the United Kingdom are considered satisfaclory. At illancl!ester business is still comparatively quiet, but there has been greater freedom of action, and buyers have showed a dispo.ition to purchase. _ The spinners of some on 1 4 'i4day morning, before the arrival of the Baltic at this port, but they are now again holding for full prices, which, combined with the lowness of stocks in all directions, and the extent of contracts for future delivery, held by most of the spinners of favourite kinds, will enable them to command full terms. The principal business in Yarms is in Water Twist, from 16's to 30's, and in medium numbers for Mule. Witl► regard to the Nottingham Lace Trade, we have to state that the spring demand for fancy goods is setting in, During the week a few orders have been received from the United States, but it will be another month before the bulk of American purchasers is in the market. The Hosiery trade is steady. The Wrought Glove bands are suffering more than any other class of framework knitters for want of demand, though many of these continue pretty well employed. There is little to report this week with respect to the Birmingham Iron trade, although the approach of the quarter leads parties interested to speculate upon an in crease or decrease of prices. The Gun trade remains in e position as we noticed in our last issue. and men have not come to terms. The operatives refuse to give way, although it is now said the contractots are willing to submit to an arbritration, or to meet the demands of the men half way. The commercial accounts from India show no material change. At Bombay the sales of imported goods had been about equal to the arriyals ; while in Calcutta the transactions had in some cases been considerable, without any improvement in prices. In the Chinese markets, however, there had been a better business at advanced quotations. The Continental advices recently received contain no thing of interest. The state of the Paris Bourse is un favourable as. regards the conversion of the Five per Cents ; but it is assumed that before the expiration of thd period of dissent, the market will be operated upon so as to secure its success. The letters from Odessa mention that the Wheat market had again revived, and that there had been extensive purchases for Belgium, Holland, and Italy. The principal part of this demand as cr,ing to the scarcity in Germar y. Letters have been received from the Levan - t, describing a most unfavourable state of commercial credit. During the preceding week, about twenty traders bad failed for various sums, amount inz in the azzrecate to £60,000. Accounts from Arns- at the propo ition to impose a tax upon all incomes from the funds had been brought forward and rejected. Advices from Australia, via the Brazils, one month later, have been received, but they give no con nected information. They are, however, sufficient to show that the yield of gold continues to realise the best expectations. LATEST STATE OF THE LIVERPOOL MARKETS. COTTON.—There has been a quiet but steady demand since the publication of the weekly report. Compared with the rates then quoted prices of Brazil are -d. per lb. higher ; all other kinds are unchanged. 500 bales Maccios were taken to-day, to arrive, at 6d. per lb. ex quay. The sale of Saturday and to-day are 13,000 bales, of which 10,050 were American, at 4;ld. to nd. ; 900 Pernam and Maranham, sld. to 6d ; 100 Bahia, 6111. ; 700 Egyptian, 51d. to Md.; 1,200 Surat, 30. to 4;d.; 50 Sea Island, 131 d. to 20d. per lb. Of the above speculators and exporters took 2,000 bales. SUGAR.—We have had but few transactions in this article. Since Friday evening, the sales 200. bags Madras, at 265. ; 800 bags Benases, at 345. to 365., and nearly 200 boxes low yellow Havana, at 345. per cwt. MOLASSES.—No sales reported. Rum.—Th e sales are confined toa small lot of Demerara, at about previous prices. CoFFEi.--5013i.gs Native Ceylon have been taken at 40s. COCOA.—We note sales of 250 bags Para at 235. 6d,, and 60 bags Grenada at 303. per ova'. TEA.—The market ccmtinues quiet, and prices are unaltered. RICE.—The sales include 700 bags Bengal, at 10s. to 10s. 3d. per cwt. _ SALTPETRE.—SaIes of 200 bags are reported at 265. 6d. for 7 per cent. refraction, and 23e. 6d. for 10i per cent. refraction. SHELL LAC.—The business since Friday comprises 70 bags, at 503. to 535. per cwt. MR. SCOTT MURRAY AGAIN. The letter of Mr. Scott Murray, the High Sheriff of Bucks, has drawn out two others ; one in reference to his facts, and the other in reference to his principles. The former is from the Rev. W. E. Coldwell, Rector of Stafford, and the latter from Lord Campbell himself. Mr. Coldwell states that in reference to the two instances quoted from that county, neither of them was correct. In 1831. Mr. Fitzherbert was appointed sheriff; the first for Staffordshire after the passin4 of the Emancipation bill. He was attended by no Roman Catholic priest, but he requested the rector, who is also prebend of Lichfield, to do whatever was necessary in the matter. In 1837, Mr. Sheriff Whitgreave, also a Roman Catholic, appointed the Rev. Edward Huddleston as his personal chaplain, but wrote requesting Mr. Coldwell to do all that was necessary to be done in a public capacity. Mr. Huddles ton never appeared in the judge's carriage, never was in any garb but that of an ordinary gentleman ; and when he said grace at the sheriff's public dinner it was evidently by general consent, for the rector was the very man that proposed his health. The Lord Chief Justice as quietly and effectually sets aside Mr. Scott Murray's arguments; and we arc glad to see that in doing so, he takes the very view which we our selves took from th% first. The Sheriff's Chaplain is that of the Judge's pro bac vice, and they are notoriously protestants. The sheriff may if he please, appoint no chaplain ; but he cannot obtrude into the carriage of the judges anyone who is disagreeable to the latter, though he were an archbishop or cardinal. Since the foregoing remarks were written, we nave ascertained that Mr. Weld Blundell, our own High Sheriff, has chosen for the present Occasbn, the Rev. P. M. Brancker, the respected curate of St. George's Church in this town. This is a very excellent choice, as in consequence of the continued ill health of the venerable incumbent, Mr. Brancker is practically the officiating minister. The choice reflects equal credit upon the High Sheriff and the reverend gentleman. LIP LOYALTY. " Under which king, Bezonian ?" On Wednesday last, St. Patrick's Day, the usual Roman Catholic celebrations took place in this town, but, instead of the processions of former years, they were restrained to the milder form of a soiree in the eveninz. The health of the Queen was proposed in the usual course, when some one exclaimed, "No Irishman will drink her health ;" but it was considered politic to proceed with it in opposition to the speaker. On the following evening, the anniversary dinner of the Irish Catholic Club, took place at the Adelphi, and there the Pope was proposed and drank in precedence of the Queen. This is, at least.. candid. We knew the senti ments before ; in the Sister Island they are usually carried out more unblushingly ; and we are only surprised that the soiree people, in drowning their shamrock, thought of Victoria at all. In the days of the Pretender, the Jaco bites of the old school, used to drink "the King," with the mental reservation—" over the water;" and a similar inclusion of an old lady like Pio Nono, would he readily excused on the principles of his own sainted hero Liguori. . . There is an old latin proverb, in sino veritas, the Donal , translation of which is—" When a man's tipsy you get the truth out of him." It was probably for this reason that the sentiments were so unequivocally expressed by the punch drinkers on Thursday evening. Misfortune makes us acquainted with strange companions, and we wonder what the Queen would say did she know that she was associated with the Pope, Cardinal Wiseman, Primate Cullen, and Mr. Livingston, the marine store-dealer. Tf the loyalty of the parties were above suspicion, all good subjects would readily excuse them for omitting the name of her Majesty in such a connexion, but, in the present instance, the omission of it is somewhat more than a straw upon the wind.

I pity him ; but then he ought to have known better than have associated with men of no principle The conduct and intentions of our opponents are daily becoming more visible. We are told they intend to introduce Sir James Graham to our notice, in the place of Sir Thomas. So much the better : then all protestors, of all denominations, against the heresies of Rome, must band together as one man, and fight these champions of Popery on the hustings. Let there be no squeamish sentimentality this time, such as " Graham and Cardwell, you know, are very clever men." Granted; so are they the more dang.erous. Was it not only last year that they spoke and voted in favour of Popish aggres sion ? We must not forget that, but rally round the two gentlemen who have signified their intention, provided they be properly invited, to contest the representation of this borough at the coming election, and wrest it, may it be for ever, from the Popish party. William Forbes Mackenzie, Esq., and Charles Turner, Esq., our towns man, and at present chairman of the dock estate, are sound Protestants, and highly calculated to represent this large emporium of commerce.

VIOLENCE. NEAR L ITIIP.RLAND.—About eight o'clock on Saturday night, a number of ruffians, with their faces blacked, and armed with bludgeons, made a forcible entry into the house of Mr. Whalley, a respectable farmer, residing at Ford, near Litherland. The depredators used conside rable violence towards the inmates, whom they secured, threatening to resort to still greater brutality if they attempted to create the least alarm. They then ransacked the house, breaking open cupboards drawers, and boxes. From a drawer in one of the upper rooms they took 300 sovereigns, which they succeeded in carrying off, as well as a blunderbus, double-barrelled "gun, and other articles. While the marauders were thus effectually performing their work of spoliation, several of their associates remained on the watch outside the house. THE LIVERPOOL STANDARD, TUESDAY, MARCH 23, 18A THE HEAD CONSTABLESHIP. There are numerous applications for the situation of Head Constable, vacated by the retirement of Mr. Dowling, but they may be embraced under the heads of civil and military. Amongst the civilians, Mr. Bigham and Mr. Herbert stand most prominent ; and it is cur• rently said that the clique in the Watch Committee, who were prevented from doing a little jobbing a few weeks ago, are still determined to thrust in their man, now that it can be done under the guise of fair play. They must be bolder men than we give them credit for being, if they will venture folly in the face of a respectable memo rial, and the almost unanimous disannroval both of the public and the press. We thought from the first, and are unchanged in that opinion, that the choice should be made from among the military candidates. They are accustomed to systematic rule and to vigorous discipline, and they would be sure to give to the police force a much higher tone than it has possessed of late. The two pro minent candidates of this class are Captain Greig, the staff officer of our own district, and Adjutant Lieutenant Holden, the son-in-law of Mr. S. Cunard, and of twelve years' experience in the army. By a curious coincidence, Captain Greig's age falls within a few moaths of the maximum limit assigned in the advertisement, while Mr. Holden's only slightly exceeeds the minimum. The testimonials of both are remarkably good ; and we have no doubt that the appointment of either would secure a suitable man, and one who would give great satisfaction to the public. Both are in the prime of Pfe, health, and activity—of high character, and of great experience. Since these remarks were in type, we have learned the result of the Watch Committee's meeting, at half-past one, yesterday. It appeared that there were no fewer than • fifty candidates, from whom a selection of five was made, including four military men and one civilian. They are the following :—Colonel Hogg, Captain Greig, Lieut. Bruce, Lieut. Holden, and Mr. John Bigham. The friends of the latter still report with confidence that his appointment is certain. We shall see. ArATRIMONY versus Purstc.--A correspondent informs us, that there is a medical institution in Liverpool, with which there are no fewer than seven unmarried physicians and surgeons connected, and recommends that the chair man appoint a special committee of ladies to inquire into the causes. DEATH FROM DRINKING. -On Sunday morning, Margery Bolton, aged sixty, who lived in a court in Cavendish-street, died suddenly. On Saturday afternoon, she complained of palpitation, and went to bed. A small quantity of gin was given to her, and she soon afterwards fell asleep. About six o'clock on Sunday morning, a cup of warm tea was administered to her, immediately after drinking which she expired. Deceased got her living by selling shrimps, and was in the habit of getting drunk every day. SUSPICIOUS CASE.—A child, five months' old, whose mother is named Elizabeth Lewis, died last week under suspicious circumstances. According to the statement of the mother, who is a single woman, it appears that she took the child to bed with her on Friday night, her mother and father being also in the same bed with them. She gave the child the breast, and fell asleep. About two o'clock on Saturday morning she was awoke by the child scratching her face. The ehild seemed to be in a fit, and died on her knee as she sat up in the bed. No surgeon had been called in, as the child was very healthy previous to its decease. The father of the child is a man named Joseph Haigh, who since its birth had promised to marry the mother when it died. Since its death he had promised to marry her when the child is buried. EXTENSITE ROBBERY OF TEA.—On Saturday night, the warehouse of Messrs. Nicholson and Whittle, in Spar- ling-street, was entered, and two chests of green tea, con taining about 701139., stolen therefrom. It appears that a number of serious robberies had taken place in the neigh bourhood during the last few weeks, and the police were on the alert. Serjeant Storey and police-officer Russell traced the property to a house in Thomas-street, where they recovered abont 40Ibs. of the the tea. An old wo man, named Ellen Edwards, at whose house the property was found, is in custody, along with her daughter, Ann Edwards, and a youth, named James Owens. They were brought up at the police-court, yesterday, and remanded for further evidence. Owen admitted before the magis trates that he and another boy had taken the tea, which was produced in court, to the female prisoner's house, but denied that it was the missing property. It was, how ever, identified by Messrs. Nicholson and Whittle's ware houseman. MA WARNING, NOT BEFORE IT IS NEEDED.—We have been requested to put the charitable public on their guard against a man of colour, who is canvassing for sub scriptions among both the clergy and laity. He is a man of good address, and has a plausible story, especially if not cross-examined. He has been a Baptist minister, but now represents himself as a clergyman ordained by an American bishop in Western Africa, and desirous of affiliation with the English church ! He is unable, how ever, to produce any Letters of orders. He was lately a banker, still more lately a merchant, and somewhat more. His shipments of gold dust and ivory are long of landing in England; or, perhaps, it was impossible for him to look after the interests of the merchants who had befriended him while in Lancaster Castle. He has several testimonials from some of our local clergy ; who with a fatal facility append their names to the claims of impos tors without any evidence but the testimony of those impostors themselves. FIRE IN Soiso, LONDON.—On Sunday evening last, a fire broke out at nine o'clock, in the neighbourhood of Soho-square. The lower floor was occupied by datlymen and cowkeepers ; and adjoining were extensive stables. Over the first buildings were a dwelling-house and wheel wright's workshops. Eieven of the cows were saved, and one, it is supposed, is burned to death. The people in the dwelling-house were saved with much difficulty. One of the horses made his escape, surmounted with flames. He fell on reaching the yard ; but the fire could not be extin guished till the flesh of the poor animal was burned off its bones.. Its throat was cut to put an end to its sufferings. A wooden building was ignited, but by great efforts was extinguished. An immense crowd had collected, and great exertions were required on the part of the police to keep them out of danger. LORD DERBY'S ALLEGED PUSEYISM. FOR some weeks past, there have been paragraphs going the round of the various newspapers, stating in terms more or less strong, that the present chief minister of the crown, so well known in this neigh bourhood as an eminent man and a good Conser vative, is a follower of Dr. PUSEY at heart. Though such paragraphs must always originate somewhere, one hardly knows where they begin or end ; for they seem to be the common property of the news papers, as ballad poetry is of the entire population. In many instances, they become part of the ordinary trains of thought with the whole community, and it is impossible to cancel the impressions even when discovered to be erroneous. In the present case, a motive is apparent; for if the confidence of Lord DERBY'S sup porters, or a large portion of them, in his Protestantism can only be weakened, or the alliance of others be prevented, it will diminish the strength so essential to sound Protestants at the present moment. But somewhat more than the motive has come to light; the actor stands revealed. An obscure person in Ormskirk, named STONER, seeks immortality as a newspaper correspondent. He will not stoop to confer with the members of the press in his own neighbour hood ;- it is not the acquaintance of a provincial journal that he seeks ; he will enlighten the be nighted public through the columns of the Morning. Advertiser. Unfortunately for his self-esteem, the prophet of armskirk is not respected in his own country;- and perhaps he thought that nearer home his statements would be taken, at their proper value, or his illustrations of long-bow practice would admit of readier detection. He assists in the induction of a respected school master, but finding that he is not so great a man on the school committee as on the board .of guar dians, he adopts the plan of Major . TESTY, and "writes to the papers." A poor child, loathsome from neglect, filth, and an aggravated form of hereditary disease, terminates his painful existence; and as it can be proved that the teacher once tried to induce him to sit straight at his copy-book, the man must be indicted for school-boy slaughter, if not for cruel and deliberate murder. The report, which we have taken some pains to give at length elsewhere, showed' that the charge was frivolous and vexatious; the trumpery accuser is a sadder, but we fear not much of a wiser man ; and the assembled population of the neighbourhood testified their joy, in the most lively manner, for the triumph of injured innocence. The same learned Theban made the remarkable discovery that Lord DERBY is a Puseyite; and, as might he expected, the evidence is of the same kind. The former vicar was tractarian, the DERBY family are the patrons; ergo, according to the laws r of gingerbread sequence, his lordship must be a diluted Papist. Now it so happens that the former vicar was not appointed by Lord DERBY, but by his late father; who succeeded to the earldom in 1834, and nresented in 1846. But if this were not a sufficient reply, there is the additional fact that Mr. HORNBY (the late vicar) was trebly related to the DERBY family, in consequence of three distinct alliances. Nor should it be forgotten that the fact of the evidence coming through Mr. STONER, alone casts suspicion on it; for there is a certain class who cannot claim to be believed, even when they speak the truth. There is an advantage in the present plan of publishing news ; as a needless and invidious pub licity is avoided, by the omission of the writer's name, while at the same time care is understood to be taken that statements of fact are what they pre tend to be. But there is a disadvantage also; for a busybody may become the pest of a neighbour hood, while he is either undetected, or parties at a distance cannot be convinced how utterly worthless his statements are. A small portion of the mud thrown generally adheres; the fact of an accusa tion being made at all, is a sort of presumption that there was some foundation for it; and so the worthless life of many a despicable wretch is with out a ray of importance, except that portion of it, when, like a ribbon marksman, he has been plotting or executing mischief.
