TO CORRESPONDENTS. We are requested by a correspondent to urge the publication of the lectures. about to be delivered in St. Andrew's Church, for the permanent benefit of all who hear them. No doubt the suggestion will receive attention in the proper quarter. The correspondent who complains of c-rtain irregularities at one of the ferries ought to have given us his name. The satire of " Proselyte" is well merited, but we doubt the propriety of its appearance in the columns of a newspaper. The rernar i s of " a lover of fair play" were received too late. ebt Eiberpool Otani:ran. articles In sine hundreds of the earlier impression of our last week's paper, chiefly those which were sent by post into the country, there was a transposition in one of the leaders, NhiCh to parties unversed in newspaper mechanism, may med unaccountable, whilst the meaning was ren• The latter part of the cle was placed first, and the first last, until the as discovered by our printers, when it was speedily cur dered obscure or unintelligible rect ed We should not, perhaps, have remarked upon this not uncommon event in newspaper publication, had it not struck us that the test, which was here applied to the article in question, might, with ad vantage, have been tried upon the writings of some others of our local contemporaries. We have accordingly applied it to a long leader in the Mercury of Friday, addressed to the Rev. Hugh M`Neile, and elicited the following extraordinary results. We commenced, in the first place, at what the writer would, no doubt, facetiously call the be ginning of his article; but found ourselves quite as wise on arriving at the conclusion as when we started. We began next at the end, an:l read backwards, and certainly, the sense appeared to us very much the same,—the only perceptible dif ference being that the effort required for reading backwards took something from the soporific effect produced by the ordinary mode of proceeding. We then transposed the various paragraphs, but, unlike the article of our first mentioned contem porary, we found nothing in the Mercury's two columns to indicate which was the right end, or where was the connexion of one with the other. Finally, we cut out the " firstly," " secondly," " thirdly," &c. ; shuffled the paragraphs to which they were attached, and then endeavoured to put them together again in their original order. Here, however, we were posed. It was almost pie to us ; and, in despair, we borrowed a fresh copy, which we keep by us, to be used when "tired nature's sweet restorer, balmy sleep," won't come at our summons. A dose of it, we expect, will he an efficacious remedy for tooth-ache, or tic dolouroux. It will not, we should imagine, he contended now that the meeting of Friday evening was any thing beyond an anti-corn-law display, got up cunningly to enable the advocates of ultra free trade to avail themselves of the existing crisis in our food markets. The actors, from the commence ment of the movement to the result which followed it—the meeting itself—were the usual leaders of the party ; there was nothing to take it out of the ordinary category of similar gatherings—not a new exhibition—not a fresh recruit worth parading— not a stray Conservative to chuckle over. It was Whig-Radical all over, and that not of the most respectable character. The platform was only tolerable, and the body of the meeting had evidently been drafted from the docks, the cellars, and the back streets. We ask, then, of the gentlemen who got up the exhibition, by what casuistry they can defend their conduct in endeavouring to entrap his Worship the Mayor into giving the sanction of his presence and the character of a meeting of the inhabitants of Liverpool of all classes of political opinion to what was predetermined to be a meeting of party and faction ? Where was the neutral ground upon which Conservatives could consistently stand side by side with their politic a l o pp onen t s ? - The meet ing which his Worship was requested to call was to be for the purpose of " discussing" and " de vising" certain measures. The meeting held never contemplated any discussion at all, for to create discussion, there must be more than one party. The course to he adopted was settled long before a pla-Card was issued or . a memorial d rawn u p ; an d when the deputation waited upon the Mayor, and their organs were jesuitically parading their object as one which men of all parties could consistently unite in promoting, they could scarcely be ignorant that the resolutions they were prepared t o a d o pt were such as must have been distasteful to a large portion of any mixed meeting, and which the Mayor himself could not be led to sanction without a for feiture of principle and consistency. We are sure, on reflection, that the honourable and high-minded gentlemen who waited upon the Mayor with the memorial of the requisitionists, will ra feel that the entire proceeding, so far as his NVor ship is concerned, has been anything but stight forward and fair. There are some who will even go further, and maintain that it was designed to place that gentleman in a false position, and to THE LIVERPOOL STANDARD TUESDAY MORNING, DEC. 2, 1845 It would seem to be an established fact in the destinies of nations, as in those of individuals, that when prosperity appears most rife around us— when our power seems at its height, and the pros pect before us is most flattering—the elements of evil, in that our proudest hour, are silently, yet actively at work, preparing for us change and mis fortune. Such, we fear, is the position of this great empire at the present moment. Above—around us—a few weeks ago, all seemed to betoken a per manent and boundless prosperity. Wealth flowed in upon us from every land. Our flag was pre eminent in every foreign port, At home the hand of improvement was stretched out to apply the mighty powers of science to ameliorate and streng then the social fabric ; and political theorists, in toxicated with the flattering aspect of the times, are even now preparing to give new wings to our commerce, to throw off our defensive armour, and to embark the industry and the energies of the nation more unreservedly upon the ocean of compe tition against the world, which they challenge to vie with us in the struggle. Yet already the " little cloud, no bigger than a man's hand," is rising above the horizon. There are signs and portents abroad, which should teach prudent men to reflect and to pause before they commit themselves irre vocably, and rest the security and very existence of the nation upon what may prove to be only the un substantial fabric of a dream. For what object, let us ask, or under what vague dread of coming danger, is it that we are at this moment, with the world around us in profound peace, preparing assiduously the materials of war? For what is it that we are strengthening our army, and preparing defences for our coasts, with as much anxiety as if hostile fleets already menaced them ? Why are our dock-yards the scene of eager industry, and preparations making for putting even our merchant and mail steam-ships in armed trim to meet an enemy ? There has risen up of late no new world to conquer—no new empire lo subject to the British Crown. China remains allied with us in the bonds of a mutually beneficial commerce, and India is our own—even more securely ours than at any previous period of her history. For what object, Chen, are we thus sedulously and ac tively arming ourselves, since it cannot be for a vain show ? We would ask of any observing reader to drive from his mind for a moment the dream of avarice and presumption, in which the nation is unhappily sunk, and to examine carefully the elements of coming mischief with which we are surrounded. In the west, the aggressive spirit of Republican _ . America threatens us with demands which we can not grant, consistently with the national honour. Nor, could we even stoop to grant them, are we sent are all that we shall he r folly to attempt to delude idea that America will not risk a __i us for the Oregon Territory : for that hat would be involved in the issue of a lat people. It is idle to tell us that the I States would set their faces against aasu re that the pre asked for. It is s ourselves quarrel v war with t Commerc entering into a qua 0 with us for Oregon or any ;ates could no more keep :lid foragers of the West than dam up of the Ohio or the Mississippi. The emigration has set to•ards the nd there it must be met and :he British Empire, from encroaching upon the privileges and the pro- n chect;. tr the wa [hose S stream of America shores of the Pacifi by the po perty of Brats the present Gc next to Europe—to France. Has the entente coru,ale, which is at present regarded as the policy of both countries, the marks upon it of per manence ? Vv - e think not. During the short period for which Louis Philippe wields the sceptre of France, it may, perhaps, be preserved ; but the temper of an entire people must change before it can be calculated upon as certain to endure from veek to another. A mere misunderstanding— an error in judgement on the part of the Govern of either nation—a pique, how ever slight, may, with an embittered people and a _city, at any moment fan the slumbering of Europe into a flame and desolate an entire continent. r of t Most wisely, we think, t is preparing for the emer- gency, cor Turn s: n it ma• ment, er a weak clyr. fly off And are we strong at home—within our own borders—should such an emergency arise ? We point to Ireland for the reply. We point to the boast and the motto of the arch Agitator, that " England's danger is Ireland's opportunity."— What, let us ask, is the condition of England's manufacturing towns and wealthy seaports, with their large Irish population, should that country be induced by its wicked demagogues to draw the sword for the realization of their visionary scheme of nationality ? We maintain that it would be one of awful danger; and that the government that should neglect to provide against such danger would be besotted and criminal. Yet this is the time—with such danger lowering upon us from every side—that is chosen in which to invite us to throw down the barriers of protec tion to native agriculture, and to make heavy in roads upon the national revenue ! During the en suing session parliament will be called upon to grant increased sums for the maintenance and aug tion of the army : for an augmentation of the mental numbers of our ships of the line, our steam navy, our marines and our seamen. We may also have to set about the better fortification of our coasts, our ur rivers, and to call out our Militia lear that this is the course of '3 worst to which the govern ition—that they are directing their It is c wise prepara ment ar boldly looking the danger in the face, and preparing to meet its approach. Ilow, then, we ask, if we proceed any further in carrying out our free trade policy, is the national revenue to he raised ? Are we to perpetuate the income tax, doubled in amount, or to what other resource are we to fly ? It may he said that, in these remarks, we are needlessly alarming the public mind. We do not think that we are so doing. The public mind, we much suspect, is far too sanguine as to the con tinued preservation of the peace of the world ; and statesmen would do well, in their legislation, more frequently to consider that such a contingency may occur, to mar their most crafty plans and upset their most cherished theories. We of the present generation have lived in halcyon times. The spade, the reaping hook, and the shuttle have been our sole weapons. Our fathers, however, we must re member, had more stubborn work to do ; and the providence which entailed it upon them may, though we see not its approach, be preparing it for ourselves. If we mistake not, the signs of the times warn us not to he over-well assured as to our freedom from its visitation. Nnti-C portan t than Dr n Law 1 aguehas received, during an accession of strength more irn 'ould be a hundred victories in the Mere Whiggery, long ago wed by the side of Registration Courts reduced to a shadow when vi its more energetic c .ipetitor for the " most sweet voices of the masses," has at length gone over to Repeal. Lord John Russell has read his recanta tion to the electors of London, and is to sit hence forth under the wing of Mr. Cobden. Lord Mot . - peth has since delivered in his adhesion to "my dear Mr. Baines" of Leeds. Of course, the rest of the party will follow their adroit leader; and the next session will see the Whig fixed duty proposi tion thrown overboard altogether, and the moderate and the ultra free traders proceeding lovingly toge ther, with " fin'tlity" left behind them, and the Treasury Benches in the foreground, inviting their occupation. With this combination of forces, it is not difficult to foretel that the total abandonment of the exi s ti ng system of protection to tlr3 soil is not far distant, even although no inclination existed on the part of the present ministry to pursue such a course, or there were no peculiar and temporary circumstances to prompt a call from a party for such a conces sion at the present moment. We shall no longer see the Opposition distracted by petty differences, as to the length to which its various sections are dis posed to carry their measures. The Premier will no longer be able to shew his admirable dexterity in playing off one party against another—the advo cate of a fixed duty against the advocate of total and unconditional Repeal ;—and the opportunity of snatching from both the credit of a settlement of the question at issue, by a dexterous medium policy, or a flank demonstration, has gone by for ever. Lord John has proved more than a match in party tactics to Sir Robert Peel. What may be the numerical strength of the com bined forces, it is, of course, impossible at present to predict. Presuming that the Premier is resolute in his determination to protect the native agricultu rist, he has at his back a phalanx of county mem bers amply sufficient to enable him to do so. But that the new parliament, which must shortly be summoned, will supply him with an equal amount of strength is, we fear, extremely problematical, unless the agricultural body infuse into their policy a far greater amount of energy and organization, in preparing for the struggle with which they are threatened, than they have recently displayed. That body, it must be borne in mind, have thrown from them the support and sympathy of important classes of the constituencies, whose votes at the last gene ral election placed a Conservative administration in power. They have bartered the support of the Protestant voice of the country in exchange for the temporary retention of their protective laws. They have lost the respect of the lower classes by their retention of an oppressive and heartless poor law, which they pledged themselves on every hustings to abolish or to ameliorate. Nay, there is scarcely any great question agitating the public mind and inter esting to the nation, to which the mere protectionist can point and say with truth—" here is the lever with which I can move the constituencies, and by which I can again win my way to the hearts and the confidence of my fellow-countrymen." Such is, indisputably, the unpromising position in which the great mass of the Conservative party are placed in the struggle, which recent events have shewn to be drawing to a crisis. Whilst the enemy is active, well organized, full of confidence and growing in influence, the landowners of the country are a rope of sand—dispirited, lethargic, and we had almost said, without ability to understand the extent of the danger with which they are menaced. They have followed blindly the leadership of Sir Robert Peel, and not regarded the fact that he was dragging them through paths and to measures which led, step by step, to the loss of the affection and the respect of their fellow-countrymen. Who, with the events of the past session of parliament before them, will now say that the cause of Conservatism and the maintenance of native agriculture is the cause of the Protestantism and the Established Church of the land ? What Con servative candidate who has followed Sir Robert Peel through the measures of the past session— who has sanctioned Nlaynooth Bills and Godless Education Bills—can now dare to inscribe upon his banners the motto " Church and Queen" ? Where are now to be found the devoted canvasser, the ac tive committee men, who, a few years ago, were ready to toil early and late to promote the return of men faithful to the principles of our glorious con stitution,—pledged to stand between the "heavy blows and great discouragements" with which our venerable mother church was menaced by an un principled faction ? Echo answers—" where ?" The lamentable truth stares us in the face that they are not to be found. . _ _ The conviction must force itself now upon our minds that the fall of the Conservative party is ra pidly approaching. It has not conic upon ourselves, however, unprepared. Conservatism was weak ab initio, and contained within itself the seeds of its ow destruction. It took no large distinctive views of national policy. It sought no extensive amelio ration of the social condition of the people. It was, in fact, a mere temporary breakwater, erected for the purpose of checking, for a time, whilst it never ventured to hurl hack the flood of innovation let in by the Reform Bill. A session or two, we feel con vinced, will witness its removal altogether. and hurry the country into an emergency which, after a time, will impel the nation to seek for protection and aid from a different set of men, and the asser tion of different and uncompromising and definite principles A contemporary, of Saturday, in his notices to correspondents, thus accounts for the accidental obscurity in one of his previous week's leading draw upon his head, as the result of a refusal to give the sanction of his office of Chief Magistrate to an anti-ministerial movement, the resentment of a portion of his fellow-townsmen. We will not our selves be so uncharitable as to suppose that these gentlemen bad any such unworthy objects in view. We must, however, caution them to distrust the councils of those, less honest than themselves, whose insidious practices will otherwise lead them into a position which no honourable men would seek to occupy. No good cause was ever advanced by other than straight-forward policy. A party movement can never be made to assume any other than its natural aspect by all the plausible profes sions of ultra philanthropy with which it may he attempted to be disguised. The world sees through the imposture, and despises its perpetrators. Of the meeting itself, or the speeches of the various orators, we do not propose to say a wore. They were of the ordinary anti-corn-law staple, containing only a more than usual amount of that hypocrisy and professed consideration for the poor which hide the selfishness of the actuating motive of their utterance; and will neither set the Thames or the Mersey on fire, nor upset Sir Robert Peel's administration. THE MAYOR AND THE FREE-TRADE MEETING The Albion of yesterday reiterates its statement that " the Mayor was closeted for two hours with the Rev. Hugh M'Neile" on Friday week. As the assertion, be cause so obstinately persisted in, may impose upon some persons, we are induced to give what are the facts of the case, as our cotemporary can ascertain if he chooses to make enquiry. The Rev. gentleman, we believe, called casually on his Worship, on Friday afternoon; but, so far from the interview lasting two hours, it did not, (as ordi nary visits of a similar character) exceed twenty minutes; and as we have been compelled to allude further to the subject, we may assure our cotemporary that the reply of the Mayor to the requisition was written before his Wor ship saw Mr. M'Neile. We have, moreover, rea son to believe that Mr. M'Neile was in favour of the meeting, and had the Mayor called it, he would, in all probability, have taken part in the proceedings. It is bad enough for an assertor of an unfounded aspersion, to bully it out by reiteration in the face of unequivocal contradic tion, so as to maintain his ground : but what will the sensible portion of the community think of the animus of our contemporary in descending to an unworthy system of espionage, for the purpose of endeavouring to damage the good name of one whom he cannot however injure. Henceforth, let the friends of the Mayor beware how they pay even a casual visit to his worship, lest our contem porary's scouts may be hanging about the door of the audience chamber, or perchance listening at the key hole. In this instance, however, our contemporary only discov ered a Mare's nest ! MANCHESTER SHARE MARKET.-YESTERDAY.

'the striect of this evenings lecture is " the inspiration and authority of Holy Scripture." We understand that the Coinrnerciai Bank and the new branch of the Bank of England, in Castle-street, are both to be built of stone brought from the Darley Dale Quar ries, Derbyshire, from which the stone used in the erec tion of the Assize Courts hai been procured. ST. PAUL'S CHURCH SCHOOLS.—In St. Paul's Church, on Sunday morning, the sum of £ll was collected, after a sermon by the Rev. J. Cordeaux, for the funds of the schools in connection with the chiL ch, and in the even ing, the sum of £l2, after a sermon by the Rev. T. Nolan. The attendance was yei y numerous, chiefly of the poor, who seemed deeply interested in obtaining scriptural teaching both for themselves and their families. Lord Devon, in a letter to the Times, dated November 26th, on the disease amongst the potatoes, made the following very pertinent observation, which some parties in this neighbourhood would do well to give heed to : —" I see no advantage in county or public meetings, in resolu'ions or in speeches. It is riot necessary to proclaim the evil. This will make itself felt soon enough. Our business is to act, not to talk; and THE MORE QUIETLY WE ACT THE BETTER." ATROCIOUS MURDER.—On Tuesday, as Mr. Wilson, employed on one of the Northern railways, near Carrick marcross, county of Monaghan, was in the discharge of his duty, with two attendants as chainmeii, he was accosted by seven ruffians, who smashed his instrument, and threw the chains into the river, and then attacked Mr. Wilson, whom they so frightfully injured, that he died soon afrer. The two chainmen were a'so severely beat. Mr. Wilson has left a widow and seven children. ST. SIMON'S DISTRICT.—It will be seen from an adver tisement that on Sunday next a sermon will be preached in Christ Church, by the Rev. Hugh M`Neile, and a col lection made in behalf of St. Simon's Church. We ere extremely glad to find this object so warmly taken up by the clergy, which pi-dyes that the claims of the district are of no common kind. We have frequently pressed those claims on the liberality of our readers, many of whom gill, we doubt not, be glad that another opportunity is afforded of proving that they are appreciated. ROBBERY AT THE HARRINGTON DOCK —On Satur day night some thief or thieves effected an entrance into the cabin of the brig Tom Banks, Captain Jones, master, at present lying in the Harrington Dock, and stole there out a quantity of wearing apparel, a silver watch, and a tin case containing the ships' register and a bank of Eng land note for £lOO. On Monday morning the tin case and its contents were found concealed behind some ware houses, a short distance from where the robbery had been committed. The other property has not been discovered. _ _ A CONSERVATIVE TAKEN IN. A Mr. Benjamin Wood, in a letter to the Halifax Guardian, says, " Find ing that a report is afloat inimical to my character as a consistent politician, in consequence of my having signed the requisition for a public meeting on the " Famine question," I beg leave to state that I did not do so from a conviction that it is necessary to open the ports at pre sent, as is affirmed by some pseudo liberals." llow many Conservatives signed the requisition to our own Mayor with a similar feeling, of course we cannot pre tend to say• DR. HOOK AND DR. PUSEY.—The friends of the first named divine are industriously circulating a report that Dr. Pusey's visit to Leeds, after his recent avowals in favour of Tract 90, and Romish doctrine, was ex tremely unpalatable to the ♦icar. The refusal of Dr. Posey to sign the proposed declaration of the subscribers being averse to the doctrines of the Church of Rome, must have added to the embarrassment, and accounts sufficiently to our minds for some not obscure in , imations which appeared in the English Churchman, a fortnight since, that it was high time for the Professor of Hebrew to advance or recede. We think so too.—Church and Slate Gazelle. CASE OF STABBING.—At the police-court, yesterday, a' woman, named Bridget aillengen, (who had an in fant in her arms,) was charged with having cut and stabbed, in the neck, her husband, Michael Ballengen, who appeared with his head bandaged up. The com plainant, a coarse-looking man, who keeps an oyster stall in Roe-street, stated that on Saturday some words arose between him and the prisoner about some money which the latter, who had got possession of it, did not wish him to spend in drink, end on his giving her a blow, she inflicted the wounds. The prisoner was committed for trial at the assizes. The man asked the court to restore him the money, but Mr. Rushton refused, stating that his conduct lied no doubt been brutal. ST. JOHN'S CHUUCH SCHOOLS. — On Sunday last, two sermons were preached in S , . John's Church, on behalf of the Schools about to be opened in connect , on with that church.—That in the morning by the Rev. W. Falloon, minister, and that in the afternoon by the Rev. John Jones, the respected incumbent of St. Andrews. Both sermons were listened to with marked attention by crowded congregations; and the united collections amount ed to the handsome sum of £63 4s 4d. ' The Rev. Mr. Jones, after showing in the most satisfactory way, that education, in order to be a blessing, must be based on the unmutilated Word of God, read and expounded to the pupil,—and after proving in the mo-t powerful and touch ing manner the deep responsibilities of parents and guardians of youth,—pressed upon the attention of his hearers the. destiturt condition of that populous district without a single Church of England School within its limits, and the consequent depravity of the rising genera tion ; and concluded by expressing a hope, (which we cordially desire to see speedily realized,) that the present rented rooms might soon be supplanted by a building per manently attached to the church of this hitherto neglected district. We have little doubt that our generous mer chants will sympathise with the wants of their poor brethren who worship in such numbers and with such decency and order in St. John's, and who, according to their power, are so willing to help the good cause them selves, as the collections on this occasion abundantly testify. With all our hearts we wish the object God speed." GREAT WESTERN RAILWAY.—It is stated that the dividend for the next half year will be 41 per cent., or after the rate of 9 per cent. per annum. The increase of receipts from the week ending July 6 to the 23d Novem ber is nearly £40,000 over the corresponding period of last year. The estimated increase for the next five weeks over the corresponding period of the last half-year is put down at £lO,OOO. The gross increase, therefore, will be £50,000 upon the half-year. The dividend required to be paid on the additional call of £5 on the old shares, and £2 10s. on the new quarter shares (for it is understood a dividend will be declared upon the latter at the next half yearly meeting) will absorb £14,625, leaving £35,375 un appropriated, and therefore applicable to the increased di vidend alluded to. It should be observed that there has to be deducted from the increased receipts the increased expense consequent upon the opening of the line to Glou cester. The extent of this new portion of the Great Wes tern Railway is, however, 12 miles only, and the work ing expenses incurred upon it can take but little from the increased receipts of £50,000 upon the half-year. HEALTH OF THE TOWN.-EXCELLENT ARRANGEMENTS. The bold and really wise course resolved upon on Monday by the Cleansing Sub-Committee of the Highway Board is one which justly merits the thanks of the community at large. By the existing law, the powers of that body have been restricted to cleansing the public thoroughfares; and the courts and alleys of the town being private property, have been left in their native filthiness to engender disease and emit malaria disgusting to the sense and destructive of the health of all classes of the population. In the resolutions in question, however, this committee have declared their determination, in the first place, to take upon themselves at once the duty of cleansing all courts and alleys, whether private property or not; and, in the second place, the emptying of all privies and cesspools within the parish periodically. The former duty will, of course, be performed whenever found necessary, in the same way as the s'reet cleansing is performed at present. Previously, however, to the per formance of tie latter, each householder will receive a circular, informing him of the time when his premises will be visited, and thus allowing him to make ar rangements for the work of cleansing, being per formed without endangering or unecessarily disturb ing the rest of his household. This, we consi der, as beginning at the right end. It is wise and judicious, as it is humane and considerate towards our bumble fellow townspeople, not so well pro vided as the affluent with the means, if even they possessed the inclination, to make their homes healthy and whole some, thus to extend to them the hand of assistance and protection from the evils of their own enforced position and habits. The working out of the resolutions may at first be attended with difficulties and annoyance to those who have determined upon it. There are people in the world so obstinately wedded to self-created discomfort, that they regard with displeasure the very interference which would bestow upon them an amelioration of their condition. A judicious perseverance, however, by the Committee in their present course, will, we feel convinced, be ultimately successful, and result in an increased amount of enjoyment, by our working classes, of the blessings of health, and connected with it their social and moral amelioration. NARROW ESCAPE.—Yesterday afternoon, as a car was passing down Lord-street, and just crossing between North and South John-streets, the horse slipped on the large flat stones placed for the convenience of passengers, and fell to the ground breaking both the shafts. The driver, aided by the jerk, succeeded in clearing the horse's head and alighting in the street unhurt. The horse was got up, apparently uninjured. A gentleman who was in the machine got out, and was also unhurt. If we be not mis taken, the broad hard stones forming the crossing foot paths in our streets are liable to wear very smooth and slippery, and it would be well to have them occasionally picked, or grooved in a rough way, so as to prevent horses from losing their footing, which they now fre frequently do. CELEBRATION OF ST. ANDREW'S DAY. — The " day" of the Patron Saint of Scotland having this year fallen on Sunday last, the anniversary was celebrated by a num ber of Scottish gentlemen at Mr. MlCenzie's, the Cale donian Hotel, Duke-street, yesterday evening. The par ty, about forty in number, sat down to an excellent din ner in the large room, which was tastefully and appro priately adorned. Mr. Sinclair was president, and the post of croupier was occupied by Mr. Richmond—both most able sustained. The loyal toasts were succeeded by those appertaining to the sister land ; and all were given and received with the greatest enthusiasm. Scottish songs and sentiments, interspersed with eloquent and feeling addresses followed, and amongst the instrumental music, the bag-pipe "lent its spirit-stirring aid." The conviviality was kept up until a late hour when the guests took mutual leave of each other, highly gratified by the entertainment—which combined the substantial, the na tional, and the intellectual. Mr. Orred has given 600 yards of land in Higher Tran mere for the site of a free day and Sunday school. Mr. John S. Jackson has contributed £5O, and Mr. Watson £2O, towards its erection. Lieut. Phillpotts, who fell at New Zealand, in en deavouring to force the stockade, was a son of the:present Bishop of Exeter. JOSEPH ADY.-At the Mansion-house, on Wednes day, Sir Peter Laurie appeared before the Lord Mayor for the purpose of stating that the notorious Joseph Ady had resumed all his former activity, and had lately written a host of letters offering his " advantageous intelligence" upon the reeeipt of 205., and not only claiming personal acquaintance with each of the aldermen, but actually re ferring to Sir Peter in the following manner:—" Volun tary referee, the Right Hon. Sir Peter Laurie, deputy Lord Mayor, at the Mansion-house, every day before eleven o'clock, who will see justice done you, free of expense, except postage, which you must pay both ways." The Lord Mayor said he had received numerous letters from gentlemen enclosing Ady's offers of intelligence. He had no doubt that the law could reach Mr. Ady, and the proper persons should be consulted ; but in the mean time he relied on exposure by the press to place the public cn their guard. _ IRISH .NPTITCnr. IN IRISH NECESSITIES.—The most remarkable feature which strikes any traveller through Ireland is the uniformily of neglect of natural advan tages, and of misery areon4s: the people, which areeve,-y -where to be seen.

POTATOES AND THE CORN LAWS.—The potato dietary in England, as in Ireland, is the resource of extreme misery. Dearer it is than the wheaten bread dietary —as all the resources of misery are prodigally expensive —but it requires no capital, no command of money, even for a week, as a better and cheaper dietary does. And this is the whole secret. Let the corn laws be repealed, and the whole agricultural population of Great Britain, and after wards the whole manufacturing population, will be thrown upon the potato dietary, as the Irish people were thrown upon it by the ruin of their tillage agriculture a century ago. Poverty is the mother of the potato plague every where ; and if we want to know the genealogy of the poverty of a peasantry, we have only to look to landlords who exact more from land than land will fairly produce, and millowners who make three men do the work of five, by compelling their labourers to work thirteen or fourteen hours instead of nine or ten. Here is the true root of the potato plague. Under the influence of the corn laws that plague was rapidly disappearing in England, when the new poor law gave it a respite, and even now it i= receding, though not so rapidly as could he wished ; and in Ireland, as we lately had the gratification to announce, oatmeal has within the last few years, to a great extent, become a substi , ute for "the lazy root," with every proepect that in a few years, more than change will be universal. Repeal the corn laws, however, and all will be reversed.—Herald. Hun . RicANE.--During the last eight days a storm has raged around our island to which the oldest inhabitants cannot remember a parallel. From Saturday night last till now the most intense commotion has agitated the ocean, and no craft, great or small, has ventured to face the billows. The hurricane; which now rages in the English Channel gave no peculiar warning of approach. The sea, on the evening of Saturday last, was warm and placid. Before morning, however, a strong wind had arisen, which, for the space of six days, his scarcely known the slightest abatement. The mail steamer Southwestern, which usually arrives at an early hour in the morning, did not reach the island till considerably after mid-day on Sun day, and even then it was unable to make the harbour, the captain being obliged to land her passengers at Bouley Bay, the only place where his craft could escape the risk of being dashed to pieces. On the sane morning the Wonder was detained an hour or two after her usual hour of departure from Jersey, eight o'clock. It was feared that she would be unable to weather the tempest, and suspicions were entertained that she would be obliged to remain till the storm abated. The ' mail bags,' however, demanded that she should proceed, and she accordingly set off at ten o'clock. Far as the eye could reach s' e. appeared to combat with the waves, and she did not reach Guernsey until rather late in the afternoon. At what time she reached Southampton we are not aware ; for since the day of her departure no tidings have reached Jersey from the shores of England. The re-arrival of the Wonder was due on Wednesday morning; but we now write at one o'clock on Friday morning, and there are no signs of her approach. The storm still rages as fiercely as ever, and the wave; are dashing their spray many yards upwards from toe beach.—Jersey ___. ACCOUNT OF THE CHIEF HEKl.—This chief at one time professed adherence to the missionaries, but since Lien has broken off all connection with them, and become very troublesome both to them and to the Go vernmeht. He is reckoned a great warrior, and a person strongly possessed of a love of power, with a desire to exercise influence over his own countrymen and he felt annoyed at the submission of his country to a foreign power, he himself having taken such an active pact in persuading the northern chiefs to declare their indepen dence on a former occasion. He was also naturally zea lous and suspicious of the flritish Government, who had so soon deprived him of the power which he then pos sessed. To add to his annoyance, the very flagstaff which he had with his own hands cut in his own forest and planted before the house of the British consul, and on which he delighted to see the New Zealand flag waving. was, by Mr. Shortland and Captain Hobson, removed without his consent from that place, and planted on the other side of the harbour, near Kororarika, on his own land too, and used for the purpose of hoisting signals for the arrival of ships. As a matter of course, he felt this as an insult; but he also found that, since his own flag staff had been removed, nearly all the vessels had ceased to frequent the bay, and trade and European goods were, in consequence, becoming daily scarcer, dearer, and more difficult to be obtained. He was told by the Europeans that so long as that flagstaff ramained where it was, in the service of the customs, so long would goods continue to be scarce and dear. The customs and the flagstaff were, to his mind, the mysterious misrepresentations of his country, and believing that the existence of the one depended upon that of the other, he determined that the offensive flagstaff should be cut down and removed. It is reported that some Americans urged upon him the propriety of thus acting, giving the removal of the un fortunate flagstaff and the imposition of customs as s reason why their whalers cease to visit the country. Times. AN DEPOSIT OF PLANS OF THE LANCASHIRE ANDTHESHIRE RAILWAYS. Considering it a matter which would greatly interest our subscribers and the public to know what Railway Companies in cur own district had been able to deposit their plans with the Clerks of the Peace, in compliance with the standing orders, we bad parties in attendance yesterday, at Preston and Chester, for the purpose of ob taining a correct list. The result of our exertions we give below ; and we cannot do so without returning our thanks to the gentlemen (Messrs. Gorst and Birchall) of Pres ton, and Mr. Johnson, and Messrs. Potts and Brown, of Chester, for their kindness in forwarding our views, at a considerable sacrifice of their own time and that of their clerks, already fatigued with their late onerous duties. With respect to the Lancashire list, we ought to ex plain that Messrs, Gorst and Birchall did not consider themselves bound by the government notice to keep their office open for the reception of plans, &c. after Saturday night at 12 p.m. conceiving it to apply only to the office of the Board of Trade in London. Anticipating, how ever, that efforts would be made to lodge such plans on their premises on Sunday, they placed a watch upon them ; and we are sorry to record the fact, that very serious outrages were committed on the private residence of Mr. Gorst in consequence, several bullets having been thrown (not shot) through the windows, doubtless in the expectation that the doors would be opened, and the ne cessary documents be thus enabled to be thrust in. The ►use, however, did not succeed ; and as the result of Messrs. Gorst and Birchall's refusal to receive them on the Sabbath, several were deposited yesterday, under protest. At Chester the Offiee of the Clerk of the Peace was opened on Sunday, and a large portion of ..be plans were deposited on that day. Here, however, several were late and were only deposited yesterday, which, of course, we omit from our List. Those de posited too late in Preston we give, stating the fact and time of their delivery.

The last advices from Buenos Ayres state that that town was losing daily its activity, its commerce, and its population. On Seat. 2 a conference was held between 'the Minister of Finance and some of the principal merchants and capitalists. Th e object of the meeting was declared by his excellency to be to ascertain if any pressure existed in the money market, and if it did exist the cause of such pressure, and the bst means to remedy it. In the course of the discussion it was made apparent that the principal cause of the tight ness which existed was the large amount of floating debt, and the consequent wants of the Treasury. The meeting may be said to have produced no absolute result. hurl.—The government contract for 100,000 gallon" of rum for the navy was again taken on Saturday by Messrs.

We gave an outline of the distressing event on the 21st October. The election of a member to serve in parliament for the borough of Woodstock, in the room of Lord Loftus', who recently succeeded to the peerage, as Marquis of Ely, on the death of his father, may be expected to take place about the second week in December. On Thursday morning, a horse with a car attached, got on the Dublin and Kingstown Hallway. near Sandy mount gate, and turned down the line. The train owe along at the same moment, and passed over them. The horse was killed, and the car was broken into pieces. INFIDEL COLLEGES Acr.—Fourteen dioceses have now entered their protest against the measure, and the state of the poll as regards the clergy is as follows :—Fo r the colleges, 4; against the colleges , 1,199; majority against the colleges, 1,195. KilkennyJournal. It is stated that a spi cial commission is to issue for the trial of the persons charged with the attempt to murder Sir Francis Hopkins, in the county of Westmeath, which has been for several months past in a state little short of open, insurrection. Oa's last week fell down to a duty of three shillings per quarter, and barley and Indian corn will, of course , follow this week. Talking of the closing or opening of the ports as a grievance, or means of relief, under such circumstances, is cheer nonsense. Her Majesty's Government have issued orders for 42,000 sets of accoutrements for the militia of ti-e Eng lish counties, the whole to be ready on the Ist of March next. The various clerks of the sub-divisions throughout England have likewise received orders to certify to go vernment the dates of their respective appointments. The statement that Lord Devon had purchased £2OO worth of rice for his Irish tenants has been denied be his Lordship, who says that he considers the best way to, relieve the Irish poor in the present emergency is to find employment for them, and his Lordship calls upon all landlords to employ their capital in protecting the people from want by improving their estates, and thus Ira" proving permanently the sources of their wealth. EmIGRATIoN TO CALIFORNIA.—D. G. W. Leavit` , the chairman of the Cummittee of Arrangements of the Einigration Expedition to California, which has been or ganizing in Arkansas for some time past, gives notice, through the columns of the Little Rock Gazette of the 27th ult., that in accordance with a resolution passed at a called meeting held at Napoleon, on the Gth ult., the ex pedition will rendezvous at Fort Smith, Arkansas, on the first Monday in April next, preparatory to taking up tbeir line of march for the Pacific coast. Every person start ing is expected to be well armed with a rifle, or heavy shot gun, 16lb. of shot or lead, 41b. of powder, caps, Sce. , two horses or mules for each person, or a waggon and eight cattle for every five persons, tents, &c. THE LATE FLOODS.—The Tay has been longer flooded since the month of August than ever before remembered at that or any other period of the year. What the conse quences would have been to the town had the propose" railway bridge been erected in the very gorge of the river —the bead of Moncreiffe Island—it is impossible to say and we hope a record of the daily height has been kept for the information of the Admiralty, whose sanction to the proposed erection has yet to be obtained. Among the various articles which the flood often brings down 011 its surface, indicate of its sudden risings, some boys last week drew ashore a bee-hive ; and presuming that_ its delicate inmates had been drowned, proceeded to examine its contents, when the swarm proved sufficiently alive to sting them severely. The urchitas managed, however, to get the prize conveyed home, and after being smoked a large quantity of fine honeycomb rewarded the exertions and sufferings of the captors.—Perthshire Courier. MYSTERIOUS CIRCUMSTANCE. On Monday night last, as a woman named Martha Ellis, who lives at Nor wood Green, was returning from a house near there where she had been a charing, she was met by two men who tore her pocket from her. She, however, got foal them, and returned to the place where she had been wash ing during the day. She remained there until near eleven o'clock, and returned homewards in company with one of the family, who left her when she had got part of the waY• She was afterwards seen about twenty yards from an old pit-mouth, but never reached home. Diligent search has since been made, and on Thursday afternoon, by a v eil: singular accident, the body was found at the bottom 01 the pin, which is fifteen yards deep, and unpro'reted. A pannier had got blown into the pit either on WedoesdaY or Thursday, by the strong wind; and on the latter day a drag was put down to recover the pannier. Instead ?, bringing it up, however, the hook caught the woman s cloak, and the body was thus discovered. How it c..0 3 e there is, of course, a matter of doubt, subject, hovvever. to some suspicion. —Halifax Guardian. THE BITER BlT.—During the late Boston mart, a sharper having met a man at Tattershall, who bad more money than he knew how to take care of, persuaded hi° 3 to go shares with him in the purchase of a horse. The trick-ter, having a confederate, had a horse of his own introduced, and which he urged upon the simpleton as the animal they ought to obtain. The rogue having oh: tained the consent of the " rook," he pretended to r purchase the horse for £7, and the " sleeping" paw n . e p , accordingly paid his share of the purchase-money, l l .; the " first in the firm" appeared to do his share o l' a this respect.
