The Publication of the STANDARD commenced this morning at 5 o'clock., 'I'HE C9;STFEDERA.TION OF, Gaur,:—We have in ano thercolumn given 'an abStraet of a most extraordinary document, recently published . by Messrs. Ridgway, of '‘vhich is said to have been obtained from the secret archives of the Russian government. The monstrous extravagance of the project to which it re= lati , .s is by . no means to be considered as arr arguinent against its authenticity. ''The.well-known hostility of of the Autocrat tolhe present dynasty in France', and .they equally notorious a mbition of his views,. are sutli- Cie i nt to account for the approval bestowed upon so wild and stupid a . s. i .pOie.• editor," in a .letter 'Aid' appears in the Times, strongly, asserts, *the genuineness 'of the.-document, which, he says, "will be one day recognised." Indeed, Ave cannot help're , marking that it contains internal evidence, of a very 'poWerful character, who proves that it was drawn up under, the :direction. of the Emperor Nicholas. It is curiningly contrived for the purpose of embroiling the west of Europe, and calculated to excite a considerable degree of jealous: among the rfigning monarchs of that Part of the continent. But England has other otOcts to contemplate.in connection with the aggres of Russia. The operations of: this. gigantic power in 'the East must engage the attention of our. .gOvettitrient far more than this stupid scheme: for the dismemberment ofTrpnce. STATE OF IRELAND.—There is no topic upon which the Whiglladizals claim a larger share of credit, or sound forth 'more loudly their own praises, than the boasted " tranquillity" of Ireland. Our readers: will be able to form some conception of the actual state of that country from the details which we have given in . another column,, and which we shall follow np• in our next publication. The outrages which are com mitted, from day to day, in tliat distracted country, are such'as to excite the utmost astonishment at the audacity of a ministry who base• their. claims to pope-, lark:y . 4lOn the administratitina "justice to Ireland." A pretty sort of justiceis-that %Odell deprives the Pro testants doll protectkon to life or property, and which rewards and encourages the most barbarous cut-throats that:ever disgraced humanity. _ • THE POST-uFFICE 13ii.i.L—This scandalous piece of _ 1 Whigjobbery, ivhielr we have already denoUnced, was again brought before the notice of theliguse ofCorn— mons :on Tuesday evening, when an unsuccessful' attempt 'Was - made by•the Conservatives to prevent its, being carried into execution. The change which the 'bill introduces into the management of the Post-office will cost the country as dearly as the other schemes set on foot by our ,“ virtuous" ministry, for the put.. pose, of giving themselves' an increased dispensation. of patronage. It will entail an additional burden of of £l9OO. per annum on the public, without conferring any imaginable advantage as an equivalent. Alto gether it sthells most'-'rankl)i of Whiggism. It is a fresh expedient for strengtliening the influence of the nainiStry: The plea that this change, is necessary in order-to carry into - effect the contemplated alteration§ in the economy of the Post•otfice is both absurd and . fallacious., ;What - is there to prevent the introduction' of a cheap postage under the present systeM of ma nagement? The alterations which have been recom mended by the select committee will very materially simplify the business of the Post-office. if any change is needed, then, it should be a reduction of the present ,number of officials::: .We feel assured that the bill Will never, pass, even through the House of Commons, in its present shape: If it should, the House of Lords will most assuredly reject it, `hit IRISH POOR-LAW 13th..—This important mea sure.cathe down Jot reconsideration in the House of Comnions on Tuesday evening, when the amendments introducedinto the bill in the House of Lords, were, after a little .'vapouring 'on the part of the Speaker, echoed by Lord John' ItUs . sell, with some trifling exceptions, agreed to withoUt any division. Now that it has passed through this final ordeal we re joice to find that its rating clauses have been so framed as to "dovetail" with the enactments of the Municipal Bill, as amended by Lord Lyndhurst. No material alteration has been made in the principle of the bill, which does not limit relief to the maimed and sick, but extends it to the destitute generally. O'Con nell did not suffer it to Pass withouta final growl. His opposition to it is, however, the best test of its utility. IMPRISONMENT FOR -DEBT 8u?.. , --We are glad to find,that this bill has, at length, passed the House of Commons: Tbough ,does not accomplish all that could be desired, •we. hail it, (to adept the,O'Connell phraseology,) as an instalment; and we are convinced that the time is not far distant when incarceration for debt will be "a tale ot other dap." The legalised murders which have recently taken place under the present system have done much to rouse the humanity Of the legislature, We have little doubt that this important measure will confer a lasting boon upon the trading commu nity. It will .place credit upon a firmer basis. The dishonest alone will suffer from its enactments, and they alone deserve to suffer. It will be seen from our parliamentary report that Lord Sandon proposed several important. arnendnients, wliich were negatived. TITE FRENCH AND BRITISH NAVIES.--The Stand.; and of Wednesday last contains a very important do ,cument, stating the maritime force of the kingdom of France, which is well calculated to excite a feeling of mortification in the bosorn of every Englishinan, and which justifies the most serious apprehensions regard ing our vaunted superiority on the ocean. From the !statement furnished in the Standard, and which ap l'pears entitled to the most implicit relianCe npOn its accuraey, we learn• that "France has 11 ships of the line, first class, 126 guns each ; 23 of second class, 86 guns each ; 23 of third class, 82 guns each, but mount ing 100. This forms a total of 57 ships, nearly every one of •them built since 1811. Besides this, France has 40 frigates, first-class, each of 60 thirty-six pound ers; 10 frigates, each of 46 thirty-six pounders; 15 frigates, third class, each of 32 guns; 10 frigates, fourth class, of 26 guns; 24 corvettes, each froth 20 to 32 guns; 16 gun brigs, 7 . steather's, the majority 61160-horse power, and each of them well armed. In her arsenals there are nearly, 3000 guns and carronades for the naval service, enough to fit out 51 ships of the line, 20 frigates, and 20 corvettes. Every ship of the' line is provided with four howitzer cannon, 80 pound-. ers, called 44 la paixhans. Every frigate of the first class is to have two of 80 ; steam-boats of 160 horse , power, three of 80 ; frigates of the second and . third classes, sloops and brigs, four of 30." This is kvery important statement, especially if the Standard is correct in asserting that all these vessels "ate fit' for immediate service, and may be set afloat, fiilly• manned and equipped, in six weeks," and that "half the number of British ships could not be got ready fOr sea in six, nor even in twelve months." This• is a truly humiliating proof of the . misgovern ment of this great country. . Under Whig sway Great Britain has declined into a second' rate m aritime ppwer, and if the imbeciles now in office should be allowed much longer to tamper with the'hest interests the empire, there is every prob Ability that ,Russia will become more powerful on sea than the wonted " empress of the ocean." But, how comes, it to pass that. England has lost her maritime supremacy.? Is it owing to, the poVerty of the'country? Far froni it. Our internal resources were never greater than they:are:at the present mo ment. Is it owing to the economising policy of the Whig.-Radical Ministry ? • Tar froth it, 'The - public .expenditure continues ,to ,be as ,great as when our navy Was in the greatest state 'of efficiency. Why then are the " Wooden wall's; of 'Old England" allowed to. rot in ; the docks ?. Why is it that our commercial interests are comparatively unprotected?, Why. are we Without a powerful .squadron ita•theEuxine to re sist the aggressions of Russia ? 'Shan we inform our readers ? beCauSothe unprincipled Whigs,find it necessary to sacrifice our navy—the best bulwarks of British'ltberty-4or the sake of gaining the votes of Hame,and his miserable associates. %It is because the money which ought to be expended.in the dOckyards of Chatham, Plymouth, and Portsmouth, is recklessly and profligately squandered upon a horde of ‘,‘ corn— rnissioners," and other retainers of a government which' is carried on by means of the most intolerable. corruption. These are the reasons why our navy suf fers by a comparison with that of France, and yet there are Englishmen so devoid of patriotic feelings as to.wish the continuance of such a, government in. power. Shame upon the recreant slaves who, tolerate this selfish and'anti-national policy. FEES ON. FREEMEN'S ADMISSION.—We refer with grOatpleasure to the report of an interesting meeting, which was held in the Carpenters' Rooms, on Wed nesday evening last, for the purpose of petitiOning the Town ,Council to remit the fees usually exacted from freemen on their admission on the roll of. bur .gesses.. The legislature has thought fit to abolish rhe stamp duty payable on such admission. The act which. confers this' boon upon the freemen especially states that it is "expedient that all impediments to the ad mission of persons entitled to the freedom of corpo rations should be removed." The only impediment which it was competent for the legislature to remove was the stamp duty. It.remains for our Town Conn• cil to emulate the example set them by the House, of Commons, and to remove the only remaining obstacle to the free admisSion of those who are entitled to claim the burgage. We ,have too doUbt that asense of jus tice, as well as of expediency, will induce our local au thorities to grant the prayer of the.freemen. •Tho privileges which• were formerly in the possession of the burgesSes exclusively, have been, by 'the reform bill;,' - Opebed to the great mass of the householders, who have only one shilling to pay as a registration fee," :It should also be. ,borne in mind that, by the municipal reform bill, the local right of voting was entirely taken i away from the freemen. The householders . •have, therefore, been very favourably:dealt with, while great impediments have hitherto existed in the way of the freemen, and a great burden placed upon their shout, ders: The. House of Commons; feeling the justice of 'the measure, have romoved as much of this burden as it was in its power to,' Nothing: now remains, in order to place the freemen on an equal footing' R itli the householders, but the..abolitiono(the customary fees. charged upon enrolment. The prayer of the freemen will appear the .more reasonable, when, it is reflected that the. officers, formerly in receipt of these fees, are ,now paid a fixed salary out of the borough funds. 'Had !it been otheiWiSe, 'there might have been .some showi, Of reason in resisting the object which was-con templated by the meeting on Wednesday evening. It may, perhaps, be objected that the abolition of these fees will give the freemen an advantage over the householders, inasmuch as the latter have to pay their taxes before they can establish their claims to vote for , 'members of Parliament. This objection is of a very . futile character. Have . not the freemen, before., they can take up their freedom, to serve an apprenticeship of seven years, Whichis surely more than an equiva lent to the payment of a year's taxes? Have they not also been deprived of the right of voting for mayor, &c., and been thereby stripped of all their municipal. privileges? is it not, therefore, just that the existing impediments sho s uld.ke entirely re moved ? we may further ask, have not the freemen the same bur 'den of taxation placed upon them as the ten-pound householders ? The granting of their present claim to 'exemption from the, payment of these fees will not exempt them from being taxed as .their neighbours are. It should be remembered that the parties who will chiefly benefit by the abolition of . the admission fees will be the poorer classes of free Men, who have been so often stigmatised by the liberals as the most " venal and col rupt.' of the whole constituency. If our liberal. To%dn Councillors really believe that the poorer free men are such. characters as the radical press has so pertinaciously represented them to be, they are cer tainly bound, in order to maintain their consistency, to exonerate this class from the payment of these fees. By so, doing they will place it out of the power of any individual to influence the freemen by taking up their freedom for them. We do not say that the freemen have been so influenced. We do not accuse them Of having sold their votes for the paltry two pounds hi therto charged upon their enrolment. But our liberal friends in the Town Council have frequently so charged them; and they are, therefore, bound to maintain their own consistency by placing it out of the power of any one to exercise such a control over the votes of those who have an inchoate right to the franchise. We trust that the p e tition, which is now lying for signature, will be very numerously signed, and that its prayer will be complied with forthwith. We cannot see what pretext can be urged in opposition to a re quest so pertinent, so just, and so reasonable. IDOLATRY IN INDIA.—We beg to remind our readers that a petition is DOW lying for signature, at the office of-this paper, as well as at other places, ic : aying the legislature to extend its protection to those christians who are compelled by the governMent of India to as . sist in the idolatrous celebrations of the natives. The prayer of this petition is one which strongly - appeals to the best feelings of every sincerelover oiliberty of conscience—alibeitT which has been FO grossly vio. lated in the persons : o( those British officers who, have been foirced to participate - in the most repulsive rites of. heatiienism.. We feel astonished that the liberal peas 114 s not given this subject a greater degree of prominency than it has hitherto done. We, know of • no, topic upon which our.radiCal,cOntemporaries could dilate With greater eloquencethan the one under con ' sideration. What can be a more flagrant interference with the sacred rights of conscience, than to render it imperative upon free-born:Bri•Ams to - build and repair temples for., the celebration of. the most filthy and dis gusting ceremonies of Paganism —to contribute to- Wards, the repair of the roads which lead to those temples, which roads are Wanted for no other purpose —to pay the priests and prostitutes Who frequent those temples—and to maintain an organised. band of pilgrim hunters to_collect, worshippers to those scenes of unparalleled impurity ? If the radicals be really the "friends of freedom," as _they. profess to be, we Call upon them to advocate, with all their accustomed zeal and energy, the removal of this most abominable tyranny over the consciences of their fellow-snbjects. But our appeal is not exclusively directed to the ra-- dical clamourers for " liberty of conscience." We es pecially urge upon all who are sincerely attached to 'those principles of.. toleration, which have so long obtained under a Protestant government, to add.their. signatures to the petition. '.We call upon every churchman in Liverpool to join in protesting against: this encouragement of the worship and service' Of idolatry on the part of the government. : , • We are glad to perceive that the. remonstrarrees Which have already been addressed to - both houses of parliament, have not been in vain. Lord Melbourne intimated, on - TnesdaY evening last, "that it was the intention 6f government. to issue such orders to the . authorities in India on this snbject as would,hehoped, satisfy the most scrupulous mihds. We are glad to find that Such a pledge has been given : but we would still.renrind'our readers that it is only a Whig promise, the performance of Which sort of promise is proverb ially uncertain. It is, .therefore, expedient' that the memory of Lord Melbourne 'should be refreshed by frequent petitions' on the sUbject, and, especially from such important places as the town of Liverpool.

F4llt PLAY. PUBLIC AIEnTING OF FREEMEN. A very numerously-attended public. meeting of freemen, and other persons entitledto their .freedom, of the borough of Liv'crpool was held' on Wednesday night in the Cair pentere-obniS; Bond:street, Mr. Robert Brew in the chair. . i Mr. 'JACKSON, in rePrence to the arject of the 'meeting, hadbeen briefly introduced by the chairman, said that it was pretty•well known that at the preSent time freemen,' or those 'entitled to the freedom of the - borough, could not .exercise their franehise until they had paid, the sumof.£2 as an admission fee. 'Although this .was not, perhaps, an ex .aybitant amount, yet when their Parliamentary privileges were . shared iu common with the rated £lO householders, and their local right Of voting had .been takewentirely from them, , it did not appear to be unreasonable that.the .charge should he reduced. It Was probably also,known that au act had lately passed the legislature by which the stamp duty now paid on admiiiien to the freedom of corporations .in England was abolished, and•for this there w.aSgreet reason to thank those who had shown that they.were still the friends of the much caluwiniated freenietvin spite of. the stigmas that had been cast Upon them by those who would rob them of their rights, and ride over theinto power. If _this liberality mud be exercised by the legislature, it was but reasonable to expect that a council professedly liberal should abrogate the payment of those •feesby which' the lower classesef • the freemen were' prevented partieiliating: in Ore advantages derived by the rich. This 'was a point that did not require much logic in its .enfOrceinent, but was plain to, every' man, and he was sure that, all would agree i that a petition to_ the council to abolish those:fees 'was Mose'desirable. It would especially come-with a'goe'Ll O raee froln thein u O anhe,town council' might vreld with leii - relhcrandeat the present tjm, iniigmuch as iriviiS , rio . new dnctrine that had been started, but was awaet • fat Which they no the exaMple of the legis lature to back them, and for . thc:perf(irtnance of which they would have the' gratitude of the petitioners. He then read the followingelause from the act to Which he i hadalluded, and . the words of 'which, he remarked, were spL i ppiiatie, that he did not see how the town-council could av,q Fmnpliance: • "'Whereas the right and privilege of. the reemen of the cities and boroughs in England, who have acquired their fresdont by birth or servitude, to-vote' fo.r Mernbers to serve inparlianient, have-been confirmed by divers.statutes ; it is expedient that all impedimentsto the admission of persons entitled to the freedom of corporations should be removed, and that the.stariip-duty payable on such admission • should be abolished:' be it therefore enacted by the Queen's most excellent. Majesty, by and with the advice and consent of, thd Lords spiritual and temporal, and Common's; in this pre sent parliament assembled, and by the nuthoritv of the same, that after the passing of this act no stamp 'dirty shall be chargeable on the admission of am person entitled to take up his freedom by birth or servitude'in any city orborongh in Encland returning a member or members to serve in par liament." . • Now, he contended,. (bat as the fees for admission having still to he paid by the sous of those, men whohad faithfully ' served their apprenticeship to their masters' was a restriction; an 4 that it went directly against .the spirit and the words of. the,ict 'Of parliament, Whii:h distinctly specified that, all re-' stiiptido shoUld ,removed, ',be _hoped th a t the renn e t! 'on the first application, concede this boon; if they iefiised, the freemen would, at all events, be enabled the better to distinguish their friends fronatheir Enemies. lie wished thein to gketo the freemen only that -which was. their 'rigid, and if it were, denied : them, he would leaveithete-to judge who were their friends at:it:INFO, were their foes.' • He• then movi4 the ad ofd ion of the, fulkishlug petition; and beggt-d 'to qate:that in point of ordericnikult.l be necessary to tranipo miC if to the inayor; and as that .gentleman bud shnon dispositioa to benetit,all classes since lie,had been•in •otlice— renciering own COsiit .ilti•Hhe hoped -that his worship vi - ouhl lose no time iu exercising his. privilege by laying it' on the council tablet—, • • •• • • " To illo too l s-AV:a t/se Mayor, Aldermen,' and•Conitoon•Coon: cilmen (y .

"Prior to tue•passinguf-the reforin net', 'the parliamentary franchise was exc/u4voill vested in‘ yont petitioners--in some -- by:actual poSsession,.iu others:by int ho'ale . right---and, until' the municipal reform bill came into operation, they also pus se.ised the power of electing the ChieCtiragistratc;lic. Whenever a freeinan had established:his claim for admis sion, the sum of two r pounds ,was demanded for expenses and 'fees, before he was allowed •to exercise his vide. ''Of this sum one pound was paid for the requited geternment stamp; two shillings. were. given •as a.• fee ; to. the sergefint-at=mare, one •shill'ug •to the water-bailiff, and seventeen shillings to the tow' -clerk: 1 , ‘• Tp.n the passing of the reform bill, the right of voting was extendecl,to all the inhabitants paying raxesupon a house rated at ten pounds per annum, whilst upon thentunicipal reform hill becoming,4 Ia w, your petitioners had their local right of voting entirely taken from I hem, and transferred to the rate-payers. The registration • fee paid by a' householder is only pie shilling per annum. , • • " Your memorialists, therefore, pray that, as the legislature of the country has now coosiderablyitaken off the stamp duty, in Consequence of the altered circumstances in which the freemen are placed, you will also he pleased to direct the re peal of those fees which ,wete formerly applied to remunerate 'Officers now paid' out of the funds belonging' to the corporate 'estate. " In thug seconding the kind..intentions of the houses of parliament towards the freemen; yon will exercise an ait of Justice, for which, as in duty bound, your petitioners will ever &c." JACKSON said he would detain the•meetingwith one or two. more observations. If the town-clerk and the other offi gers were pow paid as formerly, .viz., out of the fees received ,from apprentices for enrolment, it might .be asking too much to request him to give. them'up ;f but as'the council had taken the pay into their,own , hands, and the officers - were not now remunerated front these fees, the fte4inen were'asking only for pstrticipation in their own ninper estate, an& it therefore appeared to be ; the more reasonable that the humblei classk „shoulfl ask ferthOse advantages which they coiild not hbtain' tiniest they were:backed.by,thefinbte able.

Mr. A.L.t,am deprecated the petitioning 'those for' tights whom they knew to be theif.enetnies, and moved an amend ment to that effect. • • • The amendment.was not seconded; 'undid! to the ground.

CAUTION To ArenENTlcEs.--.Yesterday, at the police office, an apprentice named Peter Burns, working with Mr. Weber, iron -founder, was placed before the magistrates, charged. with absenting himself from his 'naciater's. employ ment. Not. having answered the magistrate's summons, -he was apprehended under a yvarrant.', His .master stated that this was the second time" he had had him before the magis trates;, he. was A . very bad lad, and led the lather apprentices into'neglectuf duty. On Moriday afternoon he.absented him self frem'his wOrk'withOut leave, and in consequence a large moulding on which he had. been employed was spoilt. - Mr. .Hall said it - was very Unpleasant to send apprentices to the .House of:Correction, and he had always avoided it when. he couttl;'htit 'there were some cases when it was necessary. The pris.e,iieratist go for two months to the House of Correction. f: -Asset ii at the police-office, an American sailor, named Cornelius Power, belonging to the American •sdssel Henry Took, appeared to, prefer a complaint against the two mates, Thomas Hunt and Thomas Wallace, for as saulting and beating him. The complainant appeared with a large plaster over one side of his head, and his fronticepiece otherwise grievously damaged. The complainant then stated that, on Tuesday Morning about seven o'clock, he was in the forecastle of the ship ; when _the - two mates came for'ard and au gout to " turn out." He told Mr. Hunt he was not able .tolturn out that morning, asbe had been on "a bit of a spree" the day before. He had no sooner . said this than the first thing he knew,was one of the mates kicking him as hard as he could;and the other beating him with a marling-spike, till . his head was in the condition , in which it then appeared. The defendant Hunt said that, on Monday, the complainant Vril!S drunk and fighting, and got his injuries from fighting ; and, on Tuesday morning, •when ordered to go to his duty ; his reply was, " When any bud owes a thing, he likes to ha've it paid; now, I'm goin g out of the ship to lick those, who licked me l as t - night." He ordered him to " turn to," 'and he said he. would not, and lie in consequence took hold of him and said he should not stop in the forecastle. Ttfe • complainant immediately jumped out of his berth and threat- • ehed to take his life, and said he would .have his heart's blOod ;, he (defendant) accordingly defended himself as well as he Could, but did no injury to the man; Mr, Hall said, whenbe,granted tho summons, the man's head was streatn- , ' in;' with ' bleed.
