The Head Constable had, however, given in a report which showed that, though one or two instances of neglect might have taken place, yet Mr. M'Bride was mistaken in some of his statements; that the police force employed at the docks had never, except in some cases of v!rygreat emergency, been witbdraWn, and that not a single robbery had taken place for years.—The tender of Mzssra. Mander and Co. for the supply of hats to the dock gatemen was accepted.—The Chairman, agreeably to the resolution of Mr. Bold at the last meeting, read a re turn of the time during which, for the last twelve months, the flag indicating that there was no room in the docks had been exhibited at each dock ; from which it appeared that that the average for the whole year was four months and twenty-six days. Mr. Bold wished to know whether it was the practice to book American packet ships for dock age before they were due, and mentioned a case of one having been docked while another vessel was obliged to drop anchor in the river, which generally put the owners to an expense of from £5 to £lO. The Chairman said it was not the usual practice. The sub-committee produced a report from the Surveyor for the measurement of foreign ships, Mr. Capper, who considered that it would be de sirable to have the assistance of a ship carpenter; and that it required three persons to perform the duty effici ently. To one of the parties who had rendered him some assistance, but who was at present incapacitated on ac count of ill health. the sum of £lO was ordered to be given. Mr. Bold alluded to a statement in the papers to the effect that the Directors of the Liverpool docks had given notice that if any of the men employed either in the docks, or in their police, should take any part in the re peal movement, they should be discharged from their service. He thought a contradiction ought to go forth.

A second meeting of the conservative electors of Scot land Ward was held at the house of Mrs. Barton, Bur lington-street, on the evening of Tuesday last. Shortly before eight o'clock, the chair was taken, amid loud cheers, by Mr. Alderman Houghton. Mr. Councillor ASPIN ALL rose to propose the first re.. solution, and was, as usual, received in that spirit of un. bounded enthusiasm which his public and consistent character through life has so justly deserved. He said that it afforded him intense pleasure to meet the electors of Scotland Ward, and to encourage them to pursue that onward course of conservative action which had so nobly distinguished them on former occasions. He regretted, however, to have to inform them that Mr. Thomas sou had declined the honour of becoming their candidate. Ile was authorised to say that Mr. Wilson having received a most respectably and numerously signed requisition to allow himself to be nominated as a candidate for the ward at the approaching election, and having maturely con sidered whether he could conscientiously accept it from his numerous avocations requiring his constant attention, had been reluctantly compelled to decline their kindness on the present occasion. He (Mr. Wilson) begged to be permitted specially to thank those who interested them. selves on his behalf and signed the requisition. and to say that having consented to become chairman of the corn. mittee for conducting the election of Thomas Vernon, Esq.—(cheers,)—who had kindly allowed himself to be nominated in his stead—(loud cheers.)—he most respect. fully solicited their votes and interest in favour of that gentleman, being fully convinced that he would do credit to their choice and justice to their municipal concerns. (Renewed cheers.) Mr. Aspinall then proceeded to des cant upon the merits of Mr. Vernon's character, undoubted respectability, and staunch conservative principles, and that he carried on the business of an engineer and boiler. maker in the ward to a very considerable extent. He concluded by proposing Mr. Vernon as a fit and proper person to represent the ward in the Town-council. (Loud cheering.) Mr. RICRARD EDWARDS, in seconding the proposi tion, said he coincided in all Mr. Aspinall had so justly observed respecting the numerous qualifications of Mr. Vernon. The motion was then put and carried unanimously. Mr. Councillor JONES proposed the second resolution, to the effect that it was incumbent on the electors to use every exertion to secure Mr. Vernon's triumphant return. Mr. G. KERFORD seconded the resolution, which was also unanimously adopted. Mr. Vernon here - entered the room, and was hailed with protracted cheering. He said that in consequence of the retirement of Mr. Wilson he had been requested by a very la►ge and influential portion of the constituency to become a candidate for the representation of their ward at the approaching municipal election. The respectful and urgent manner in which that request had been made, coupled with his own sense of duty, had induced him to comply—though very much opposed to his inclination. He promised, in case they should do him the honour to return him as their representative, toexert himself to pro mote every measure calculated for their benefit and that of the town. (Hear, bear.) His political principles were strictly conservative—(cheers)—hased upon the desire to regard with reverence the sacred injunction of " Fear God and honour the King," which led him to oppose infidelity, Popery, and radicalism, and to promote, by every means in his power, Protestantism, true liberty, and scriptural education. (Cheers.) But, notwithstanding his high con servative principles, vet, if any proved abuses should Lave crept into those institutions, which had been rendered venerable by antiquity. he was willing to rectify or correct them ; and whenever he saw oppression, whethe► tt pro ceeded from the radical or the conservative side, he would ever be its most determined and decided enemy. (Loud and continued cheering.) Mr. Vernon proceeded at mucb further length with the enunciation of his principles. UpOn the motion of Mr. VERNON, seconded by Mr. TUC/WAS ELLIOT, a vote of thanks was passed to the chairman, and the meeting separated, after having given several rounds of cheering and the Kentish fire. (ChePts.) Mr. Hornby, who was a staunch conservative, had also authorised him to state, that be would support inviolate the present system of scriptural education pur sued in the Corporation Schools, and would do his utmost to carry it out. (Cheers-) He concluded by reading Mr. Hornby's address to the electors, just then printed, (and which will he found in another column ;) and said he should be glad, on behalf of Mr. Hornbv, to answer any questions that might be put relative to that gentleman. No question was put, with the exception of whether Mr. H. had any connexion with Mr. Hugh Hornby, which was answered in the negative, amidst much cheering. Mr. INGRAM, seconded by Mr. Sothern, moved the thanks of the meeting, in complimentary terms, to the chairman, which was carried by acclamation ; after which the meeting gave three cheers for the chairman, the like compliment to Mr. Royden, and three groans for Dan O'Connell, and then separated. The election for a councillor, in the roots of Alderman Lawrence, will take place to-morrow, (Wednesday.) MEETING OF THE COMMISSIONERS OF BIRKENHEAD An adjourned meeting of the commissioners of the township of Birkenhead, was held in the commissioners' room, Birkenhead, on Thursday, for the purpose ofconfirm ing the appointment of a superintendent to the police department, as well as that of a surveyor of buildings for the township. The night was very stormy, and there was but a thin attendance of members. Mr. Jackson, in the absence of J. D. Case Esq., took the chair. The follow ing members were present : Messrs. Wm. Jackson, Cole, Adamson, Kerr, M'Nicoll, Appleton, Hinde, Hammond, Dale, Pin, and Bentham. Mr. MALLABY stated the object of the meeting, and said that the committee appointed to fix upon a superin tendent of the police were unanimous in recommending Mr. Samuel Moss to that situation. Mr. Mallaby then read the report of the committee on the subject. It stated the various duties which the superintendent would have to perform. Independent of his services as super intendent of police, he was to act as collector of rates, and treasurer of the township. His salary was to be £l , lO per annum, and he was to find adequate surety for the due performance of his respective situations. Mr. BENTH AM thought the arrangement a very good one. He was, however, of opinion, that as the collector on some days would only collect a few shilling, it would not be necessary to give him the trouble of going over to Liverpool to place it in the bank. The CHAIRMAN said, that there wonld be fear days in which the collector would not receive £lO. The arrange ments, however, had been come to in order to put the township to as little expense as possible. Mr. HINDE said, that the collecting of taxes was always a disagreeable occupation, and the less expense the town ship was put to the better. The CH AIRMAN said, that the committee bad come to the determination of appointing Mr. Samuel Moss for a certain time to see if he would answer. It was, however, his (the Chairman's) opinion, that they could not find a more suitable person. Mr. BENTHAM begged to say, that when he had, on a former occasion, opposed the appointment of Mr. Moss, it was not that he thought that person unfit for the sitars. tion, but he thought his appointment at the time was placing an improper power in the hands of the board. He had, however, since come to the conclusion that they had done right, and thought they could not find a more suita ble person. The appointment of Mr. Moss was then confirmed. The CHAIRMAN said, that the next business of the board was the appointment of a surveyor of buildings for the township. There had been five applications to the committee, three of whom were architects, and the other two were engineers. The committee had fixed upon Mr. Walter Scott, architect, for the situation, at a salary of £250 per annum. Tile appointment was confirmed by the board, after which they adjourned. At the Police -court, on Friday, two publicans were fined 60s. and 20s. each for infringing the law. One was ac quitted, as was one beerhouse-keeper ; and two of the latter were fined 20s. each, and one 40s. CAUTION TO SERVANTS.—One morning last week, during the temporary absence of the servant, who had gone for a pail of water, leaving the front door open, some evil disposed person entered the house of Mr. Godfrey, Renshaw-street, and took thence two over-coats. A CAUTION TO REPEALERS.—The directors of the Liverpool docks have given notice, that if any of the men employed either in the docks or in their police shall take any part in the Repeal movement of O'Connell, they shall be discontinued from any further occupation in their ser vice. The same notice has been given at Bristol, where a great number of Irish are also employed.—[This para graph has been going the round of the papers, though there is not the slightest foundation for it.] EXTENSIVE ROBBERY AT NEW YORK.—A robbery was committed on the 3d tilt., by breaking into the pre mises of E. and S. S. liockwell, of Broadway, New York, the particulars of which reached Liverpool by the Caledo nia, on the 17th instant. It appears that the thieves escaped with 108 valuable watches, 60 diamond rings, 60 diamond breastpins, 25 gold rings set with stones, 36 gold pencil cases, 30 gold guard chains, 20 fob chains, 36 gold bracelets, a number of acqua-marine, amethyst, and topac necklaces and brooches, black enamel brooches, and about 15 dozen of silver forks and spoons, &c. &c. One thou sand dollars are offered for their recovery. SPANISH CATTLE.—Another cargo of Spanish cattle arrived in Liverpool froro;;Cortinna last week. They are said to be the finest yet received from Spain, and are worth from twelve to fifteen pounds a-head. The pre vious lot proved to he very g ood catsle when slaughtered, the meat being of fine qual ity and with the proper mix ture of fat and lean. From the continuance of these im portations, it is reasonable to conclude that the trade is not unprofitable even at present prices, although they are said to be the lowest that have been known for a dozen years, Should prices rise to their former level, the im portations from Spain would doubtless increase consider ably. CORINTHIAN ESTABLISHMENT, LORD-STREFT. Great as have been the improvements of late in the prin cipal thoroughfares of this town, none, we are justified in saying, ca❑ be compared with those just effected by Mr. Tuton, in the above establishment, which has, under his correct taste and good judgment, become a most pleasing and conspicuous object from all points whence a view of it can be obtained. The centre squares of plate glass each measure ten feet six, being the largest hitherto introduced into this town. The interior has undergone extensive alterations, improvements, and embellishments; and, al together, the premises may fairly vie with any other of the kind in or out of Liverpool. We trust the respected proprietor will meet with an increased support commen surate with his great outlay. The establishmen is again in full operation.—Albion. THE TERN-OUT SAILORS AT LIVERPOOL.—It will be recollected that the sailors of Liverpool made several public demonstrations, a short time since, against the enormous exactions to which they were subjected, as they alleged, by the shipping masters of the port for obtaining them berths on board vessels. They have at length suc ceeded in accomplishing one of the oblects they had in view, namely, that of having a general registry office es tablished, where they could have their names and charac ters entered on the books on paying the small sum of Is. each, and where the captains could resort and select their hands. The General Registry office was opened in Liver pool on Thursday morning, under the auspices of the Seamen's Friend Society, and bids fair to be eminently successful. The sailors had a great meeting in Liverpool on Wednesday night, at the Queen's Theatre to celebrate their triumph over the shipping masters and to pledge themselves to unity of action and determination of con duct. LUNATICS IN THE WORKHOUSE.—On Friday last, some conversation took place (partly privately) between Mr. Rushton, at the Police-court, and several of the overseers of the parish relative to the keeping in the Workhouse of seven poor lunatics, who, it appeared, had been sent home from the Asylum at Lancaster. Mr. Rushton said that it was not proper or legal to keep them there, where they could have no proper medical attend ance from which a cure or alleviation of their disease could be expected. It was stated in explanation that there was no room for them in the Liverpool Asylum. Mr. Rushton contradicted this allegation—stated that be had made personal enquiry of the governor of that es tablishment, and found that he had never been applied to at all on the subject, and that he had room for ten patients. He further gave notice to the overseers, that if the unfortunate individuals were not removed on the following day, he should inflictjthe full penalty of the law on them (the overseers). The parties thereupon left the court. NEW LIFE-PRESERVER.—lnventions for the preser vation of life, in cases of shipwreck or disaster at sea, have of recent years been very numerous, and several of them highly ingenious, and apparently of greatpractical utility. One of the best, if we may judge from its appear ance, and the ease and readiness with which it may be available in cases, or in apprehension, of danger, is that now on sale at the Union Cloth Hall, North John-street, and a specimen of which may be seen for a few days at the office of this paper. It consists of a handsome double breasted waistcoat, of fine woollen tartan, lined, or rather doubly cased within, with strong patent air-tight cloth, which may be immediately inflated by the breath through a tube attached to each side near the top, and which may be instantly raised to the mouth on an emergency. When thus filled with air, it is capable of sustaining any one in the water, even though be were no swimmer, and weighed upwards of 20 stone. It is a garment, moreover, which would evidently be exceedingly warm and comfortable on shipboard, and withal very becoming. ( See advert.) SINGULAR ACCIDENTS FROM LIGHTNING. — During the thunderstorm on Thursday week the house of Mr. J. Langsbaw, farmer, at Speke, was struck by lightning. The electric fluid, it is said, entered through the window, knocking part of it down. It passed into a room in which Mrs. Langshaw's brother was sleeping, and must have crossed very near to him, for it knocked out several of his teeth and singed all the hair of his head. The walls of the apartment were blackened, many articles of apparel which hung therein were perforated as if riddled by shot, and a chest of drawers completely shattered to pieces. The lightning next ascended to the lower part of the building, tore up the floor of the milk house, smashed the vessels that contained the cream, but did not touch the crockery-ware on the shelves. Mrs. Langsbaw was seated at the kitchen fire when the fluid t assed through that apartment. She states, that the lightning appeared to settle upon ber knee for a moment, and then disappeared without doing her any injury. A horse belonging to a neighbouring farmer was found dead in a ditch, having been killed by the lightning. The London Time!? says cw=ed o license t " STATE OF FEELING AMONGST THE PEOPLE OF IRELAND UPON THE SUBJECT OF RE PEAL, AND THEIR PROSPECTS OF SUCCESS IN THE EVENT OF AN ARMED INSURREC TION. In the present crisis of affairs in Ireland the observa tions of every impartial observer of passing events and character assume a tenfold value ; and we shall make, therefore, no apology to our readers for offering to their perusal the following condensation of the facts contained in two highly interesting letters, which have just been addressed to the editor of the Morning Chronicle, and copied from the columns of that paper into the leading journals of both parties, in England and in Ireland. We may premise that the writer, whom we may assume to be of whig politics, had,' before entering upon his inquiry, arrived at the conclusion, from a contemplation of affairs in Ireland as represented in the public press, that the agi tation for repeal was " a gigantic piece of blarney on O'Connell's part," kept up to save himself from pecuniary ruin ; and that the object contemplated was, at the utmost, the obtaining of an instalment of those measures which he has been in the habit of clamouring for, as " Justice to Ireland." His changed conviction, on visiting Ireland, we give in his own words " It soon became apparent to me, after my arrival in Ireland, that although this view of the case was perfectly correct as far as O'Connell was concerned, the matter had taken much deeper root. Other leaders beside O'Connell either appeared on the stage, or skulked behind the scenes ; and, above all, it was evident that the great mass of the Roman Catholic peasantry had thoroughly taken the mat ter to heart. The people were bursting with repeal. It was not in the least necessary to put searching questions to them in order to get at their sentiments. You could not make the commonest inquiry without bringing on a repeal discussion. If you asked the price of pork or fish in the streets, the old women were sure to say something of this sort after they had answered your question : Well, sir, when are we to have our rights ? when will our Parliament sit in College. green ?' " The people, in short, were determined to have repeal —by fair means, if possible—but, at any rate, repeal. They had, moreover, fully made up their minds to the sacrifices consequent upon a popular rising, and had fami liarised themselves to all the contingencies of an insurrec tion in an extraordinary degree. There was not a single important point connected with the subject on which they were not prepared with a good military answer ; and, in whatever part of the country the question might be asked, you were sure of receiving the same answer in substance, and, generally speaking, in nearly the same words. The last-mentioned circumstance proves to de monstration that the plans of operation with which the heads of the peasantry were filled did not originate with themselves, but that they had emanated from some com mon source, and were, in fact, the instructions of superior minds, which had been carefully prepared to suit the exi gency of the case, and had been afterwards disseminated by means of some established organisation among the people." To another paragraph we must direct attention, inas much as it shows that the labours of Father Mathew, honest or not honest in intention, are at all events a part, and an important one of the agitation for repeal. The writer observes of the peasantry— " If the rebellion of 1798 was spoken of, the remark invariably made was to this effect Those days, sir, were the days of drinking whisky. Our people lay drunk in the ditches, and the troops obtained an easy victory. But now we are a sober, temperate, and religious people.' If I heard this remark once I heard it fifty times." It has always been imagined that, ignorant and duped with respect to this question as are the Irish people, they could never hope to contend successfully against the dis ciplined troops which would be brought against them. Such, however, it appears, as a successful stand in the field, was never contemplated. The reply of the peasantry to any remark upon this subject was usually to the follow ing effect :—" Oh, sir, you don't suppose we s h a ll g i ve you the advantage of fighting a pitched battle with us? We shall rise in our counties and baronies, and do all that we want (which means making a clean sweep of the Pro testants); and when the troops arrive they will find the people quietly at plough, and we shall be doing our work elsewhere!" The military defences of the country ap peared to be regarded by them with cold contempt. They declared that the walls of the barracks " would be scaled in every direction by night, and that the people would tumble over by thousands, and squeeze the troops to death, if they did not take them out and throw them into the river." Another circumstance, as to the ulterior views and ex pectations of the peasantry, we must give in the graphic words of the writer :—" There is another horrible pre vailing idea, which really startled me the first time I heard it. I was waiting for my car early in the morning in the street of a small, sulky, ill-conditioned town, when, seeing a farmer's wife setting up a potato-stall, I asked her the price of her potatoes. She gave me a civil an swer ; but two men were standing by, one of whom said, without my having previously addressed him, or having made any remark calculated to encourage the observation, We shall eat wheaten bread next year, sir.' I was really unable to make out his drift, and told him good-humour_ edly that I was very glad to hear it, but begged to know how the change would be brought about. ` There will be fewer of us, sir,' was the reply_ I then hewn , ' to nniler stand his meaning, and, as I encouraged him to speak out, he proceeded to say that there were 8,000,000 of them, that the land was not able to bear them, that 1.000,000 or 2,000,000 might be spared with advantage, and that the country would be for the survivors. I after wards heard the same idea, either in whole or in part, in a variety of forms; but the burden of the song always was, ' Protestant and Catholic will freely fall, and the land will be for the survivors.' " It was a guerilla warfare which was looked forward to ; and the arms relied upon were the pike and such weapons as are now used in their agrarian outrages. With respect to the former, they reminded their catechist that " they could be manufactured by any common blacksmith, in large numbers, in the course of a day." The same reli ance upon the irregular mode of warfare accounts for the fact that there has been less drilling, and other similar preparations for warlike movements, in Ireland, than has ever been the case previous to any attempted insurrection in any country. A great reliance,loo, was placed upon a presumed dis position of the army to join the contemplated insurrection. " Three-fourths of the army" it was commonly observed, " are Irishmen • and every Irishman is a repealer." The opposition of the Protestants of the North they depre ciated from the assumption that they would not stand by their landlords. The writer of the letters, from which we gather these facts, remarks—" on no one occasion did I hear it stated that they could beat the Protestants of the North. What they always said was that the Protes tants of the North would not turn out at the call of their nobility and gentry. GREAT GEORGE WARD A meeting of the Conservative electors of Great George Ward took place on Friday evening, at Mr. 1 Jones's, the White Lion Inn, Great Georges-place, to I nominate two representatives in the room of Mr. James Lawrence (created an alderman), and Mr.'Cooper. The attendance was numerous, the room being-crowded to ex cess, and those present included the staunchest Conserva tives of the district, as well as many others of the first re spectability. Mr. Alderman LAWRENCE was unanimously called to the chair, and was enthusiastically received. He regretted to state that Mr. G. H. Lawrence, was unavoidably ab sent ; but that gentleman had sent a letter, which he (the chairman) doubted not would satisfactorily account for his not being present. He read a letter, in which the writer expressed his regret that the council s;hould lose the ser vices of Mr. Cooper, who had throughout several years so ably espoused the cause to which they were all so firmly attached,—and strongly reccnmmended to the support of the electors the two gentlemen who would that night be proposed as candidates. Mr. G. H. Lawrence in conclu sion stated that -his warmest wishes were with them, and that his best services should always be at the command of the conservatives of this and other wards. (The reading of the letter was received with much applause.) The Chairman proceeded to observe that as the council had thought proper to elect him to fill the office of Alderman, vacant by the resignation of Mr. Earle, another Coun cellor would have to be elected in •his own room ; but before proceeding to the more immediate business of the evening, be begged to thank the electors for the uniform kindness and respect which he bad received at their hands, for the last eight years, during which lie had the honour lof representing them in the council. He hoped that they had ever found him faithful to the trust they had reposed in him, and although he might no longer be considered as their representative, he assured them that he should ever be attached to the interests of the ward, and would I i n the station to which he was now •called, endeavour to forward their interests with the same fidelity, and with all the humble ability he could exert to promote their welfare. (Loud cheers.) Mr. Lyon :TONES said he had great pleasure in propos ing the first resolution, which he read as follows :—" That the thanks of the burgesses are due, and are hereby given to James Lawrence, Esq., Joseph Cooper, Esq., and Thomas Royden, Esq., for their vigilant watchfulness over the interests of this ward ; and they can not allow this opportunity to pass without expressing their regret at the retirement of Joseph Cooper, 'Esq., whose conduct throughout has been such as to merit the unqualified ap probation of this meeting, and of the burgesses of the ward generally." Mr. Roxt:wrsoN seconded the resolution, and it was unanimously passed ; after which prolonged cheers were repeatedly given for Mr. Alderman Lawrence, for Mr. Cooper, and for Mr. Royden. Mr. COOPER then presented himself and was enthusi astically received. He said that after the very flattering manner in which he had been greeted, he never felt greater embarrassment than at the present moment, or more at a loss to express his gratitude to those around him. He had had the honour of representing the ward during the last six years, and nothing but peculiar circumstances would induce him to retire. He would not have come to that determination, if he -had thought the ward in any danger, or that the electors would not be able to carry out .their object triumphantly—however in convenient to himself. He had, however, expressed hi s wish to retire three years ago, and he trusted they would now excuse him, as two gentlemen would be proposed who would, he firmly believed, carry out the principles to which they were attached to their full extent. (Cheers.) On the former occasion of his wishing to retire, there was a difficulty in procuring good candidates, but that was now removed. The two gentlemen to be proposed were well worthy of their confidence. One of them, Mr. S s _ them, had been for fifteen years a resident in the ward, and his principles were known and appreciated. The other, Mr. George Hornby, was equally known and valued by them all, and he entertained no doubt that these gentle_ men would act in a manner that would give entire satisfac tion to the ward. He had therefore much pleasure in pro posing the following resolution :—" That it is the opinion of this meeting that George Green Hornhy, Esq., is a fit and proper person to represent this Ward in the place of James Lawrence, Esq. ; and John Sothern, Esq., in the place of Joseph Cooper. Esq., both from their well known characters as men, and their unswerving attach. meat to true conservative principles." Mr. JAMES DEMPSEY seconded the proposition, ex pressing his belief that the candidates would be found to give the utmost satisfaction to the ward. The resolution was unanimously carried. Mr. WAGSTAFF then moved " " That this meeting pledges itself to use all legal exertions to secure the return of both gentlemen at their respective elections, and that the following gentlemen form a committee for this pur pose, with power to add to their number :—Messrs. G. H. Lawrence, James Lawrence, Joseph Cooper, Thomas Boyden, William Birkett, Thomas Bold, Rigby, --- Robertson, T. Wagstaff, W. Wagstaff, John Mottrarn, James Ingram, James Tonge, James Dempsey." Mr. THISTLE seconded the motion, which passed una nimously. Mr. SOTHERN was then introduced to the meeting, and was received with loud cheers. He expressed himself in manly and feeling terms on the great honour conferred upon him by the electors—adding that he looked for their indulgence, as it was the first time he had addressed a public assembly. He much regretted that they were so soon to lose the valuable services of his friend Mr. Cooper. For himself, he was a firm friend to the conservative cause, and strongly attached to the established church, the principles of which had been instilled into him from his childhood, and from which he would never diverge. (Loud cheers.) He concluded by stating that he had lived in the south part of the town for years, and that if he had the high honour to be elected, he should ever-devote his best exertions to promote their interests. (Cheers.) The CHAIRMAN said Mr. Hornby had been unable to attend, owing to a mistake, he having understood that the meeting was to be on the previous night, and having on that night an engagement which he could not t•elin , quish. Be (Mr. H.) had, however, deputed Mr. Birkett to appear for him. (Cheers.) Mr. BituctizT then came forward, and was received with great applause. He expressed his regret at the absence o f Mr. Hoinhy, owing to c i rcums t a nces which that gentle. man could not control. He had known him from; a boy ; and he was not only a native of the town, but the son and grandson of Liverpool tradesmen ; and from the inter course he (Mr. B.) had had wiik him, he felt assured he (Mr. H.) wou ld wa t c h over and promotei their interests. He authorised entiongst,ahtee,WtloiautlaasmAa' Ikre. himself known nn to the electors in the interim previous to the election. at a religious war, and the few Protestants who had been inclined to join it. at once withdrew. The object of the people is to get plenty work, and to obtain a favourable permanent settlement of their rents ; but they ha►e a further object, which they look to as the inevitable result of a successful insurrection, which is to get rid of the landlords altogether, and to divide the land among themselves—not merely the forfeited estates, but all the land ; at least all which is in the possession of persons not thoroughly devoted to then cause. The result is, that v;'e are standing on the verge of a re ligious and agrarian war, which would unite the horrors of the Jacquerie and St. Bartholomew. O'Connell has for some time past been aware of this fact, and nobody has been more alarmed at it than he has been. He has whipped his horses tntil they have run away with him, and now, to his dismay, he finds that he is not his own co , chman. He has a gentleman on the box dressed in black. If any of the more moderate lay repeaters are asked what is the ground of the confidence expressed by them that there will be no outbreak, they can only refer you to the priests. O'Connell himself is now really as much in the hands of the priests, as far as this question is concerned, as we are ourselves. He has evoked a spirit which is too strong for him. Nevertheless, he has done his best to set hounds to the torrent. The following expressions, extracted from his speech at Lismore, will convey some idea of his real position My heart is filled with delight at the scene that has been exhibited before us all this day. (Hear.) It proves that 1 ought to change my position ; I ought to become a different person from what I was. Heretofore I was ac agitator, stimulating and exciting to exertion, and endeavouring to persuade every person by argument that they ought to exert themselves to the very utmost. (Hear, hear.) I think I must give this up, and become one of the moderates. (Laughter.) Yes, the people and the priests are going beyond me. (Renewed laughter and cheers.) Did you ever hear two such agitators as my reverend friends who preceded me? (Hear, hear.) They are outrunning me altogether, and I have become like the heavy schoolboy in the race. My own pupils are beating me. (Great laughter and cheering.) lamto be the drag on the wheel that it may go down steadily the plane of liberty. (Hear.) It is my duty now to restrain. It was my duty formerly to excite. My reverend col leagues having left their trade of preaching for agitating, I now take up the gowns which they have thrown from off their shoulders, and set about sermonising you." To the remarks of the writer, upon the prospect of success in the attempt to throw .off the connexion with Great Britain, we shall probably revert on another oc casion. At present, we must content ourselves with the above brief review of facts, which we are convinced affords an overtrue picture of the condition of misguided and unhappy Ireland. A LETTER OF MEDEATION Pattison Baring. a - ' done the leaders in the movement of 1798 ; but the tor our pr o d uc i 7 s a moment the rebellion broke out, it assumed the character ho t realisation o f w l : o h l a it t i ll one h i o n f ise th e u , wi e W il l i s o h lu m, I with confidence TO THE CONGREGATION OF ! ST. ANDREW'S CHURCL RODNEY-STREET FATHERS AND BRETHREN,—The disruption of the Church of Scotland has begun to work divisions among us, who were till lately a united and harmonious congre gation. It is, doubtless, our unanimous wish that these divisions should be crushed at the outset. In order, if possible, to prevent them from arising at all, our trustees and committee of management proposed for our choice three qualified ministers of the Free Church of Scotland, in terms of the new constitution, which was befo r e unani mously adopted with that vie w by the shareholders of our place of meeting. Some of the shareholders, however, have since applied for and obtained an injunction from the Court of Chancery against our choosing any minister of the Free Church to officiate as pastor in that place. One of three courses, therefore, must be taken by us. 1. We may submit to the injunction ; or 2, we may an swer it; or 3, we may agree with the adverse parties to settle the matter amicably by arbitration of some eminent barrister who shall be furnished with the necessary in formation through fit persons selected to represent each This last course—friendly arbitration—would be far the most summary and expeditious, as well as the least ex pensive. How distressing will it be to have one place of worship closed and the flock scattered during the twelve month or more that may elapse while the suit is pending! How sad to spend in law expenses one, two, or three thousand pounds, that may build one or more chapels, or be otherwise better employed in promoting the gospel! But further, thi s l as t course ( see i ng t h e f i rst alternative— unqualified submission —cannot be entertained) is the most consistent with the letter and spirit of the New Tes tament. Let the 6th Chapter of Ist Corinthians be read as far as far as verse 7, where it is said, " But brother goeth to law with brother, and that before the unbelievers [a term too applicable to many civil judges] ; now, there tore, there is utterly a fault among you because ye go to law one with another. Why do ye not rather take wrong ?" &c. There is reason to hope that the parties at whose instwce the injunction was sought will be willing to accede to such a proposal if made, and surely it will be unbe coming in us to refuse to make it. Let us try what can be done in this way, and if our proposal is scouted, which I am confident it will not be, we can go to law with a safer conscience, and may expect a greater blessing on our cause. We cannot but regret that some misapprehension of motives, not perhaps amounting to bitterness, has already been engendered on both sides. 1 beseech the congrega tion to regard our adversaries in the suit as brethren, seeking like ourselves the good of the Scotch population of Liverpool, but differing from us as to the means of eff,eting -it. They believe tho Established Church of Scotland the best medium ; we believe on the other hand the Free Church, or our own English Synod, the best medium. They conceive the first constitution and original design of the Rodney-street Church bind it inalienably and exclusively to the Establishment; we are led to con clude the shareholders had full power to unite it equally to the Free Church. There is, therefore, a difference of opinion certainly, but we are onein doctrine and in attach ment to the gospel. While we know not the secret prin ciples of their heart, shall we claim for ourselves more love to Christ, more submission to His holy will ?—nay ; I rather think were we and they to reverse our positions, we might act very much as they are doing. If the friends of the Free Church had built a splendid edifice, and from some alteration of feeling their representation had changed its understood original destination, and allowed it to tall so thoroughly into the system of the Established Church as Oat no minister of the Free could thereafter officiate there, would we not complain and seek redress? I say this to remove any undue harsh construction of our ad versaries' conduct. If some of them condescend to read my remarks, 1 trust they will not think the less seriously of the very solemn responsibility they are bringing them selves under, that of taking a course which may deprive the congregation of a minister of their own choice, or drive many of us from our accustomed place of worship, never again to assemble in this world as one flock. Such con sequences we may well deplore and deprecate. May the providence and mercy of the Almighty Head of the Church save us from enduring them by bringing light out of dark ness, and restoring peace and unity.—Y our a ff ec ti onate, faithful servant, ONE OF 'YOUR COMMITTEE It is a fact that the people never contemplated, except as a last and very improbable alternative, going to war for the object of their agitation. They relied upon O'Connell's cunning and knowledge of the law to keep them from a collision with the authorities: and only dreamed of the necessity of resorting to violent measures, if the government should interfere with the proposed as sembly of 300 gentlemen, who were to compose O'Con nell's illegal parliament. Such an interlerence would, un doubtedly, have been the signal for that war of extermi nation, which the Irish peasantry contemplated as the the means of arriving at their end by violence. Again recurring to the temperance movement and its connexion with repeal, we are told that—'• Although the organisation of the temperance societies preceeded the re peal movement, that organisation has been adopted into it. The congregation of each Roman Catholic chapel generally forms a temperance society. The repeal war dens are the officers, the temperance band—the members of which are dressed in uniform—are the rallying-point; and when it is determined to show the strength of the country, the male members of the temperance societies are marshalled under their respective bands and colours, and march out to the monster meeting. The people ap pear to take a pride in displaying their fixity of purpose and the supposed moral excellence of their cause, by an obvious abandonment of their previously habitual vices. They feel ashamed when a drunken man appears reeling in the streets, and I have seen them rebuke mendicants whom they have observed in the act of importuning a stranger. Intoxication is now rarely seen in Ireland. I visited three crowded fairs, and did not see a single in stance of it ; and I did not observe more than six or seven drunken people all the time 1 was in Ireland." u t a t e o l r y t nel beforera i nn egn The most serious phase of the state of feeling in Ireland is the implication of the great body of the priesthood in the agitation, and their contemplation of violence as the means of working it out to a triumphant issue. The priests of the old school, most of them of foreign educa tion, held themselves for a time aloof ; but they were given to understand that a lose of temporal comforts and spiri tual power would be the result of a perseverance in their isolation ; and they ultimately submitted.

Prescott and Mr. Travers, and Mr. Baring by Mr. Alderman Brown and Mr. Russell Ellice. After an address from both candidates the show of hands was taken, and declared to be in favour of Mr. Pattison. The polling commenced on Saturday morning, and was carried on with great spirit and animation during the morning, but in consequence of the excellent arrangements made by the sheriffs, not the least inconvenience or diffi culty arose in recording the votes of electors ; although between eight o'clock and ten o'clock nearly 5,000 votes were registered. The sheriffs appointed 98 poll-clerks, each candidate appointing a check clerk ; therefore the number of clerks employed amounted to 294. Mr. Pattison ha.l a majority of nearly 250 the first two hours; but from ten to eleven o'clock Mr. Baring re duced that majority nearly 200. It was calculated that all the members of the Jewish persuasion having votes polled before nine o'clock, in order, as little as possible, to interfere with the religious duties of the Sabbath. The neighbourhood of Guildhall was densely crowded during the day, and, as the electors arrived, they were greeted with cheers and hisses by the partisans of the dif ferent candidates. The following was the state of the poll at the close : Mr. Barin,g's Comp:Wee 31r. Pallison's Committee Pattison Baring 6334 Majority .... 145 Majority In 1832, Mr. Grote won with 8,412 ; Mr. Lyall lost with 5,152 votes. Since that period the Liberal majority has progressively declined—that of the Conservatives increas ed. In 1835 Sir M. Wood headed the poll with 6,418 votes. In 1841 the unsuccessful candidate (Mr. Attwood) polled 6,212 ; Sir M. Wood, 6,315 ; and Mr. Masterman, 6,339 votes. , extended and new markets r, this is _ a prospect the sir to I°6: foiward t
