The lawless spirits of the westei n states are panting to encoun ter us, whilst already in imagination they see the flag of England humbled before the stars and stripes, and the Ame gle planted upon every ap- able which we a cum , upon their continent, th e C ana d a - even not being bepnd the scope of their contemplation. A more mad proposition than this has certainly never been broached in a civilised land in a time of profound peace; and, although it appears to be doubted whether the Government or the other House of Legislature can be brought to support it, the aggressive feeling which it exhibits, as actuating the American .people, is one for the outburst of which England would he blind to her own interests were she to neglect to prepare. It must be plain to the most ordinary observer that society in the United States is tending towards a convulsion. The fabric of slavery existing in her southern states is tottering under the unceasing exertions of the abolitionists ; and bitter is the hate which those interested in its preservation hear towards England, for the part which she has taken and the example she has set in discouraging the system. A few more years will, perhaps, bring about its destruc tion ; but, pending its existence, there is no policy which can be adopted by the American Government more popular than some violation of national pro priety which would bring America into collision with us, or any other power, and thus divert the -national mind from the contemplation of this weak spot in their social position. The seizure or an attempt upon the Oregon territory may not, how ever, be made for a time; but it will only be deferred because there are other schemes in view more feasible and which afford more immediate prospects of accomplishment. Whilst upon this subject, we may congratulate our American brethren upon the fact of one at least of their defaulting states—Pennsylvania—having exhibited signs of a return to honesty, by paying the February interest of her debt. The circum stance was celebrated in Philadelphia by the firing of cannon and other rejoicings; and we only regret that it as not announced a fortnight earlier, that the late Rev. Canon of St. Paul's might have gore out of the world with a rather better opinion of republican integrity Mr, Benjamin D'lsraeli is certainly not our beau ideal of an English statesman. He is a little crot chetty in his notions, not a little coxcombical, and pect, too, that he is rather impressed with a otion that his abili ties have been overlooked by the present Govern ment, and that he entertains, and seeks occasion to vent, at times, a little acrimonious feeling towards the head of that Government. Such a man, how ever, possessing talent, as Mr. D'lsraeli must be admitted to do, cannot but stumble now and then in his manner ble sayings ; and amongst. the number of these we regard the rebuke which he took the opportunity of administering to Sir Robert Peel during the debate upon Mr. Duncombe's motion on Friday night, in reply to an attack made upon him by the Right Hon. Baronet in a former debate. Mr. D'lsraeli assumes that there are quntions occasionally coming before the house upon which a member of Parliament may take up an independent position, and exercise his privilege as a member, without reference to party considerations ; that, in short, although a supporter of the general policy of Government, a member may occasionally be found voting with his opponents. He complains, how ever, that Sir Robert Peel is somewhat of a martinet in his treatment of his party, and on such occasions of disobedience is in the habit of dragooning them rather too strictly, considering the position which he occupies and the large majority which he com mands in the house " I can cona upon sense he says) a Mini s t er i n a pos iti on i n rich lie requires devotion from Jis party—l ran suppose Minister having a very small majority—l can suppose he holds power merely in deference to the wishes of his party ; he has a right to say to his supporters, " I have to fight a very difficult game; I would much lather give up power; still I will hold on; but you must b e rea d y at a ll times to support me with devotion. That is not the po sition of the right hon. gentleman. His position is quite the reverse. He has a very large party to support him, and an opposition before him which, though distinguished doubtless by very eminent talents, and, numerically, far from contemptible. is not, nevertheless, distinguished for its power of cohesion. (Cheers and a laugh.) The right hon. gentleman is in a position which really would allow him to be indulgent."

But Sir Robert has ❑ot been the only party to blame. It would be well if honourable members, so tamely submitting to pass whatever he propounds for their acceptance, would occasionally remember for what they were sent into that house; that they were sent to support a Tory Ministry —to support those prin ciples the profession of which placed such Ministry in office—and not one which, to quote the happy and but too expressive language of Mr. D'lsraeli, has " caught the Whigs bathing, and walked away with their clothes." An occasional reminiscence of this kind would prevent many mistakes and gratify many a constituency, which at present is disposed to consider itself not very well treated. When the astute secretary of the New Poor Law Board brought before the public his first Blue Book, covered political luminary, Mr. Charles Robertson. We trusted that they would have elicited gratitude instead of indiscriminate reprobation. Our expec tation, however, has been disappointed. Sir Robert has still to earn the favour and admiration of our Anti-Monopolists. He has surrendered to their agitation a large portion of the customs and excise duties He has released from taxation 430 articles t. But he has not yet gone the length of inflicting absulute ruin upon the colonies of Great Britain, or consented to destroy the native agricul ture of the country. Till he has done this, whig gery will never cease to grumble and its unfledged orators to spout There is something almost rabid in the feeling which the existence in anything like prosperity, of these two interests, excites in these parties. The very mention of Colonial sugar, or home grown wheat, never fails to provoke an acerbity of temper and language, which must be as troublesome to possess as it is disagreable to see displayed. Ask any one of the body if it is cheap sugar or a cheap loaf which he wants, and, although he may make large professions of desire to benefit the poor con sumer, you cannot avoid observing a far deeper longing to injure the producer of these commodities. It is not that sugar is dear, but that the Colonial body is unpopular with liberalism. It is not that bread is dear, but that the landed aristocracy is hateful in the eyes of the entire Free-Trade party. The characterising feature of the whole of the ad dresses delivered at this meeting is jealousy of the very existence of these interests. Why, we ask, should this be. Are the colonists and the agriculturists the only classes who have been favoured with the boon of protection, or do they make no return for that boon ? Far from it. The former, too, may be said to have laid the foun dation of the greatness and prosperity of Liverpool; and when the latter ceases to prosper, her merchants may cease to import. The feeling, therefore, which prompts, such remarks as those of Mr. Rathbone, INTENDED DEMONSTRATION OF THE PRO. TJ;STANTS OF LIVERPOOL AGAINST THE CONCESSIONS TO POPERY ANNOUNCED BY SIR ROBERT PEEL'S GOVERNMENT. Our readers—nay the Protestants of the empire—will learn with delight that the Protestant and conservative merchants of Liverpool are preparing to make their voices beard, in earnest protest against the concessions to popery in Ireland, which have been announced by Sir Robert . Peel, as about to be br o u g ht f orwar d i n th e !l ous e of C3lnmons. A body of the most influential of our fellow- townsmen are, we learn, already taking preliminary steps for a grand display of public feeling upon this engrossing subject, which, it is said, will take place about this day fortnight in the Amphitheatre, or if that building cannot be bad, in the Theatre Royal. Amongst the gentlemen who are expected to take part in the proceedings we have heard mentioned the names of Edmund Nlolyneux, Esq., Adam Hodgson, Esq., Thomas Berry Horsfall, Esq , David Hodgson, EN., with a number of conservative members of our corporation, and many of the ledding clergy of the town and diocese. We rejoice at this approaching vindication of the high principle and sound protestantism of our fellow-towns men. The country we know has been anxiously waiting to hear the voice of Liverpool uplifted in the present crisis; and we know not any circumstance which could have operated more fatally—which could more loudly have drawn down upon our town the scoffs of liberalism and popery—than our hanging back upon a question so vital, and disappointing the expectations of the loyal and the true. The country and the ministry will now be con vinced that we have not contended in times past for a shadow—a name—which we were prepared to abandon for the first sop of commercial prosperity which might be offered us in its stead. We cannot conclude this gratifying announcement with out tendering our heartfelt thanks to the gentlemen whom we have named above, and to others who have been active in forwarding the approaching demonstration. They will, we are sure, be rewarded with the gratitude of thou sands of their fellow-countrymen ; and have the satisfac tion of setting in motion a mighty enginethe Protestant feeling of their country—which otherwise might have slept, discouraged and dismayed by party faithlessness. Their fellow -townsmen, they may be assured, will not flinch from their side on the day of action. . . . containing the result of his inquiries into the sana- Mr. Shiel, and others of the speakers on this occa tory condition of the United Kingdom, we foresaw sion is contemptible and absurd. the conclusion to which those inquiries were in- But the ignorance and factiousness displayed by tended to lead.

Again we ask of the working people of Liverpool to watch this object of the Anti-Monopoly agitators. The more cunning and plausible amongst them very sedulously veil it from the observation of their dupes; hot, happily, in every body there are a few weak minded men, like Mr. Holland, whose love of talk ing leads them to blunder out truths which ought to be kept in the background. We do not know that the public, and especially the authorities, of such a town as our own, will much relish such a controlling power as it is here intimated is about to be established over their local affairs and their purse-strings. And yet, when the shortcomings of such authorities in times past are taken into consideration —when we witness the tardy steps even now taking in sanatory improve ments in large and wealthy towns such as our own, — it must be acknowledged that some change of sys tem is imperiously called for. We cannot see the frightful sacrifice of human life, of health, and -%ls which is going on before our eyes, as the result of individual selfishness or the negligent backwardness of public bodies, without owning that such a state of things cannot, without the commission of a national crime, be much longer tolerated. Our local bodies must press forward in the march of improvement ; they must bend to the necessity under which they are placed. Private individuals, too, must lay aside their selfish apathy and grasping covetousness, or they must submit to such a coercive system as that which is now in the contemplation of Government. For our own part, the system of Gov ernmen t supervision has no charm in our eyes. We would rather spur on those local parties, to whom the sanatory regulations required for the purposes of increasing health and comfort is entrusted, to an effort worthy of them—an effort which may even yet rescue the town from the clutches of the cen tralising officials of Somerset-house. If necessary —and we believe it is necessary—apply to Parlia ment for further powers to effect your obj ct. Give us a better and a constant supply of water, wider streets, better cleansing and ventilation • and even though it should he required to put our hands into our pockets for the cost, we are confident that it will he cheerfully paid and advantage the commu nity tenfold in the increase of health and comfort which it will occasion. THE FUNDS, SATURDAY NIGH r.—The English Wu ritie s show no great alteration to-day. Prices in most cases continue quiet and steady, and a very limited amount of business has been transacted.

WARD AND HIS MARRIAGE.—ID the Times of yesterday appeared a letter from the Rev. W. G. Ward, on the subject of the statements which have recently ap peared in the papers on the subject of his intended marri age. The principal part of the letter is entirely beyond our comprehension, and we give the following as the only intelligible portion of it :—" Firstly I hold it most firmly as a truth even of nature and religion that celibacy is a higher condition of life than marriage Secondly, I most fully believe that vows of celibacy, %hen duly taken, are perpetually obligatory; and, thirdly, I incline mo&t strongly to the opinion, that under a really effective church system, the priests would he, if possible, wholly stlacted from those who hive taken such vows. On the other hand, it appears to me of the utmost importance to remember, that in cases where no vocation is felt for a life of celit a-y, he who leads such a life forfeits a great spiritual blessing, and he who makes a resolution, much more a vow, to lead such a life, involves himself in a fearful snare." BOLD STREET INCIDENT TO THE EDITOR OF THE LIVERPOOL STANDARD. SIR.—A paragraph appeared in the Liverpool 4'Lion, of Monday, the 24th ult. under the above head, reflecting on the alleged misconduct of a Bold-street shopkeeper, and which, if true, was calculated to excite public indig natio.t. In the above mentioned paragraph the individual was not mentioned by name, but on the evening of the day of publication some malicious and evil disposed per son, in order to fix the odium on me, and to bring me into unmerited disgrace with the public, wrote the word Langdale across the paragraph in question, on three dif ferent A'bion newspapers, then lying exposed to public view on the tables of the Lyceum News Boom, Bold street, but which (on this being discovered) were promptly withdrawn by order of the Committee, and I had well hoped the matter would have then ended. Being, how- ever, aware that owing to the above incident my name had got abroad as the individual referred to, and naturally connecting in my own mind the despicable libeller who wrote my name across the newspapers in the newsroom with the originator of the slanderous report, I waited upon the editor of the Liverpool Albion two several times to know the name of his correspondent, but he refused to give up his author, alleging he was not bound to do so as I was not mentioned in the newspaper by name. In order, therefore, to disabuse the public mind, I beg to state that no such occurrence ever took place in my establishment, and, so far as I am concerned, to give the report my unqualified contradiction, Yours, respectfully, J. LANGDALE. 58, Bold-street, 3rd March. In particular, we would urge upon the commis sioners under our local Paving and Sewerage Act the necessity of entering at once upon some large and vigorous effort to overtake the urgent necessity for better under-draining of our town. We ac knowledge that they have done much during the last twelve months, but that they have still much to do—will be very apparent—when we direct our readers to the list of streets through which they ha e just decided upon carrying main sewers, which will he found in our report of the pro eedings of the commissioners in another column. In the list for the North District we find the names of fifteen streets, not one of which, we believe, has been built within the last twenty years, and many of which are even older; and when it is borne in mind that many of them have been pointed out, through the press and other channels, a fertile hot beds of fever and disease—that some are filled with crowded courts and cellars, and are notorious kr their filthy state—it does appear surprising that they should so long have been left without sewers to carry off their impurities. The list for the South District contains the names of eighteen streets, of a somewhat better character, but most of them old, and many which have long been remarkab:e for anything rather than cleanliness. We may be reminded that the commissioners are not in funds at present, which may account, in part, for the inefficient progress which they make. We contend, however, that they ought to take measurcs to place themselves in funds for the completion of an object so important as the proper sewerage of the town. Depend upon it, they will be compelled to do so by Government interference if they do not themselves very speedily take the initiatory steps. Another measure, also, they should immediately adopt—viz., the securing of the necessary powers to compel owners of property to make drains to their sewers. Surely a short bill might easily be got through Parliament giving them these powers, without which their sewers are half inoperative for the main purposes of their construction. The subject for the lecture at St. Andrew's Church this evening is " The Christia , i in his temporal business." THE GRANT TO MAYNOOTH.—We are informed that it is the intention of the W. M. of No. 24 Lodge of the G. P. A. of L. 0. to deliver this evening week a lecture on the above subject, immediately after the Lodge is closed. MAYNOOTH.—The Dublin Mail, in reference to the resolutions passed at the Orange meeting in this town against the grant to Maynooth College, says—" In a re cent number of th e M a il, we quote d f rom our British coteinporaries some demonstrations of public feeling in England upon this subject. They are neither few, nor insignificant ; they indicate a jealousy of Romish encroach ment, roused lately, but eff , ctually, into action, by the impolitic and undeserved encouragement shown to a sys tem alike repugnant to religious truth and constitut'onal policy; and they cannot be scorned by any minister, without risking a popular ebullition more easily con demned than allayed. To those evidences of the No- Popery spirit, which is preparing to resist further aggres sion on the Protestantism of the realm, we now add the remonstrances and protest of an important and most in flu 'xitial body in the great commercial town of Liverpool. Lverpool, the great thoroughfare of intercourse between the islands, witnesses more of the evil working of Popery in Ireland than, perhaps, any other English bcality, not excepting St. Giles's. It is, therefore, natural that its inhabitants should tike the alarm betimes." ST. BRIDE'S SCHOOLS.—It will be seen by an adver tisement that the Rev. William Dalton and the Rev. Hugh M'Neile will preach the annual sermons, on Sun day next, in St. Bride's church, on behalf of the schools in connection with the church. St. JUDE'S SCHOOLS. — We perceive that on Sunday next the annual sermons will be preached in St. Jude's church in behalf of the admirably conductcd schools in c nmection with that church. The morning sermon will be preached by the Rev. Hugh M'Neile, and th , t in the evening by the Rev. William Dalton, the former incum bent of St. Jude's. ST. BARNABAS' SCHOOLS —On Sunday last the ser ror ns previously imnounred were preached by the Revs. Jonathan Brooks and Hugh M'Neile, after which col lections were made amounting to £66 10s., making, along will two donations of £5 each, an amount of £76 10s. t ,wards the sum of £3OO still required to entitle the trus tees to receive the grants voted by the Nation+l Society and the Committee of Privy Council. Comment, which is but another name for commendation upon either preachers of the discourses superfluous. The rector took his text from Proverbs, 9th chap. lOth verse : "The fear of the Lord is the beginning of wisdom, and the knowledge of the holy is understanding." And Mr. M'Neile from Psalm 119th, 11th verse. The congre gations on hcth occasions were numerous and atten tive, more partieurrly in the evening; there was not literally a spot unoccupied, the aisles and porches were crowded with persons, who stood during the entire of the sr mice and sermon. Upon the whole it was a most gra tifying and encouraging sight, and augurs well for a happy and speedy completion. The schools are beauti fully and substantially built, and most conveniently situated, almost immediately opposite Greenland-street entrance to St. Barnabas' Church. Messrs. Rule and Anderson are the contractors. NARROW ESCAPE.—On Thursday evening last, about seven o'clock, William Edward Aspinall, in attempting to walk across the Pool frcm Seacombe to his residence at North Birkenhead, unfortunately sank in a quicksand, and the tide rapidly rising at the time nearly had reached his mouth when cries of " Help ! help !" were heard. Two men near the Smalt Works immediately set off, and happily rescued the gentleman from a watery grave. We (lo not frequently trouble ourselves to notice the bleaungs of that very sagacious body which calls itself the Anti-Monopoly Association of Liver pool. We may, however, be excused if we deviate this week from our usual practice, and bestow a few remarks upon one or two of the speeches delivered at its recent meeting in the Theatre-Royal. It was certainly never to be expected that the Financial measures of a Conservative administra tion could be regarded with feelings of unmingled satisfaction by such a body. Ho wever hi g h Sir Robert Peel might bid for the applause of ultra freetraders, he was sure to come short of the wishes of men, so much wiser—so much more enlightened in their views of national policy—than mankind in ordinary. We did think, however, that, in his mea sures this session, the concessions made were of so extensive and unexpected a character that they would have staggered even such gentlemen as Mr. Wm. Rathbone, Mr. Charles Holland, or that newly dis- INJUSTICE OF SPANISH AUTHORITIES TO BRITISH SHIP-OWNERS.—In 1843 the ship Ayrshire, belonging to Messrs. Horsfall of this town. sailed from Afric t with a cargo of palm oil for Liverpool, but never arrived. In the spring f last year a wreck went on shore at Gomera, near Teneriffe, bottom up and laden with palm oil. As there was no doubt, from the description, but she was the Ayrshire, a gentleman was despatched, with necessary documents, to identify the vessel and claim ber and her cargo. Most of the casks were branded "C. Horsfall & Son. Liverpool," and the vessel was identified in every particular, even her tonnage being carved on the beams. But the Spanish authorities on the island refused to give up the property. After repeated delays, however, the claim was admitted ; and Messrs. Horsfall chartered a vessel and sent her out for the cargo, but she returned this day week in ballast. She had taken in part of the oil, when the authorities forcibly took it out of her. Thus, after all the delay, trouble, and expense at Tene riffe, in addition to £l,OOO for the charter of the vessel, the property is taken possession of by the Spanish Go vernment. in opposition to a decision by their own court. It is expected, however, that a representation will be made by our Government to head-quarters in Spain, which will induce the latter to make restitution. COUNCIL MEETING. - At the monthly meeting of the council to-morrow, the most important part of the busi ness is the motion of Mr. Alderman Horsfall, at the una nimous request of the special committee appointed on the sth ult. to inquire into and report upon the unnecessary restrictions imposed upon the trade of this port by the Board of Customs, and the insufficiency of the Customs' establishment for the growing wants of the port, " that the report and proceedings of that committee be read to the Council and taken into consideration before the pro ceedings of the other committees. NEW WEIGHING MACHINE.-At the last meeting of the Liverpool Agricultural Society a silver medal was awarded for a model of an improved machine for weigh ing carts, cattle, &c. We had yesterday an opportunity of viewing one on a more extended scale, but which is so portable as to be capable of being removed most conveni ently, and will weigh accurately any amount not exceed ing 20 tons. The convenience of these machines is at once apparent, and the great saving that they will effect in labour, will, we doubt not, render them highly popular. It will be seen by an advertisement in another column that several specimen machines are now on view at Mr. Craig's office, Eldon Buildings. CHARGE OF ILLEGAL PLEDGING.—A. joiner, named Paul Ward, was yesterday charged before Mr. Rushton with having taken away and pledged a brace and set of bits, the property of Mr. Thomas Shaw, of St. John's village, his employer. It appeared, however, that some money was due by his master to an upholsterer, which it was not convenient for him to pay, and that the prisoner, who was entrusted with the keys of the shop and the tool chest, was authorised to receive an account and pay that party, but not getting the money, the inference was that he exercised a discretion to raise it by pledging the arti cles, especially as an amount of wages was due to himself, which his master had not the means to pay him. The complainant also stated that he had not before known any thing wrong in his conduct, and Mr. Rushton said he was willing to take the favourable view of the case, and dis charged him. AMATEUR PERFORMANCE AT THE THEATRE-ROYAL. -It is announced that, on Monday evening next, the amateur performance, which we have already stated was in contemplation for the benefit of the Licensed Victuallers Charitable Institution, will take place at the Theatre-royal. The performers in the principal Pieces, " The Poor Gentleman" and " Wallace," are all members of the Licensed Victuallers' Society, with the exception of the females, three of whom, from the. Royal Amphitheatre, have the kind permission of Mr. Copeland, the manager of that place of amuse ment, to appear on the occasion; and another is a lady of well-known histrionic talent. Mr. Hoskins and Mr. Benwell, both old and favourite " stagers," will also ap pear in comic duet by way of interlude. The pieces appear to be judiciously selected, and, if we mistake not, several of the performers are not altogether novices in the mimic art, having before essayed their powers pri vately, or on a similar occasion, so that the entertain ment, on the whole, may be expected to be gratifying even to the fastidious. When it is remembered, too, that the object of the institution for whose benefit it is given was founded for the support of decayed members and widows, and for the maintenance and education of their orphans, the benevolence of the effort will, no doubt, ensure a bumper house. as well as the kindly indulgence of a gene rous audience in the event of any mistakes, which, bow. ever, we by no means anticipate. THE SUGAR REFINERS AND THE GOVERN- MENT A fortnight ago we referred to the position in which the parties engaged in this branch of business were placed by the financial plans of Government, affecting the Sugar • Duties, having been announced before the usual period by which circumstance they were caught with a stock on hand of duty paid sugar under the processes of manufac ture greater than they would otherwise have had. Under these circumstances the trade in London, Liver pool, and other parts petitioned for a return of the excess of duty paid upon such stock, urging the great loss which they would otherwise be made to incur. We are sorry to understand that there is little hope of this request being acceded to. Sir Robert Peel has however, in order to afford them a little more time to work off their Stocks, postponed the period of the new duties taking effect to the 11th inst., arguing that Laving had notice that a reduction would take place ear;y in the present session the Refiners ought to have kept their stocks at the lowest point com patible with the carrying on of their business, and have no valid plea for favor over other parties. A not ice of a motion in Parliament upon the subject has been given by Mr. Clay which was expected to be seconded by Mr. Joseph Hume, and would be debased last night. From the firmness, however, shown by Ministers to the deputations which have waited upon them, little hope is entertained of any effect being pro duced to change their views. THE CHASE The CHESHIRE HOUNDS will meet on Tuesday. March 4, at . Thursday, 6, at Saturday, 8, at Al Half-past Ten o'clock Sir W. W. WYNN'S HOUNDS will meet on Wednesday, March 5, at. .

A WEEK'S SPORTING LIVERPOOL GRAND NATIONAL STEEPLE CHASE For months past this racy event has been " a leader " in the conversation of the sporting circles, and as it draws more closely, the manifestation of anxiety becomes more prevalent ; and the spirit with which it has been filled and accepted, has made many " whips " declare that the affair will surpass any event of a similar character in this part of the country. Should the weather prove favoura ble, which at the time we write it has every appearance of doing, the attendance will no doubt be numerous. Ma chines, from the spicy whitechapel to the common drag, are already at a premium ; and, as Sam Weller would say, " hacks are hired." From 16 to 18 horses have already seen the " order of the course." Amongst those at the stables yesterday we may name— Vanguard Peter Simple Croesus Peter Swift Knight Templar Tom Tug The Page Brilliant The Exquisite Stranger The Romp Clansman Preissnitz The first race is the Great Han , licap Sweepstakes of 20 sous. each, with 100 sous. added; the second horse to save his stake.

Critchley's br c Cceur de Lion, 3 yrs Mr. Smith ns blk g Sultan, aged.............. Lord Chesterfield did not name. The Hurdle race, for a sweepstakes of £5 each, with £2O added ; did not fill. lhe ground for the Steeple-chase will be the same as that of last year, and that for the following race over a mile of flat country, thus giving a variety to the day's doings. WATERLOO COURSING MEETING.—To-day, and again on Thursday, the Great Waterloo Coursing Meeting comes off over Altcar, and bids fair to maintain its high reputation in the opinion of the sporting world. The Waterloo Cup, value £3OO, in specie, added to a sweep stakes of £2O, to be run for by thirty-two dogs, from which will be given a bonus of £l7O for the sixteen beaten dogs in the first ties, is the first grand prize to be con tested. The subscribers number thirty-two. The Altcar Stakes, for the sixteen beaten dogs, will be run on Thurs day, and the Waterloo Purse of £lOO, added to a sweep stakes of 10 sovs. each, for sixteen dogs, completes the card at this meeting. HOOTON STEEPLE-CHASE. — On Friday next, under the especial patronage of Sir Wm. Massey Stanley, Bart., the Grand Hooton-park Steeple-chase will be run at Stourton, over three miles of fair hunting country in the neighbourhood of Hooton. There will be three races during the day, which, no doubt, will form a capital wind up to the week's proceedings. The first is a sweepstakes of £2O each, hf. ft., with £lOO added by Sir W. M. Stan lev. Bart. ; the second is a sweepstakes of £lO each, with £5O added ; and the conditions of the third race have not as yet transpired, though there is no doubt of a full com plement of subscribers. SATURDAY'S STEEPLE-CHASE. — On Saturday will be run a Steeple-chat , . match for £5OO a-side, over the same course as for the Great National, at Aintree, between Mr. W. Scott's A ericulture and Mr. J. Mason's Culverthorpe, " owners up." [The latest intelligence respecting these events will be found in our sixth page.] The iron steam-frigate which has been building at Bir kenhead by Mr. Laird, and is now nearly ready for launching, is to have her name altered from " Vulcan" to " Birkenhead," in honour of the place of her nativity. She is of 556 horse power. THE PHILHARMONIC SOCIETY.—The first full-dress concert of this year to be given by this society will take place on Monday. the 31st instant, as announced in an other column. The talent engaged for the occasion is, in American parlance, " first-rate ;" and tne whole arrange ments on such a scale of liberality and magnificence, as cannot fail to give the utmost satisfaction to all who may avail themselves of the treat. SAVING OF THE SHIPS VALPARAISO AND ANTILLES. —We gave some account a short time ago of these ves 'sets having come on shore.—The Valparaiso on the 26th January, at Formby, and the Antilles on the Ist Febru ary. on Madwharf,—but we were not then in possession of information to enable us to do justice to all the parties through whose praiseworthy exertions they were both afterwards got off. The Antilles was taken off on the day on which she stranded, and brought to Liverpool by the Formby and Southport life-boats and two steamers. The Valparaiso was brought in on the 23d February by the united efforts of Captain Dixon, (late commander of the vessel) and Lieut. Kellock, R.N., agent for Lloyds at Southport. This ship and cargo were of the value of about £400,000. The Antilles had also a valuable cargo of copper and silver ore, and bullion from Valparaiso, Lieut. Kellock is brother of Capt. Kellock, of the fine ship Bentinek, built at this port, and now on the mailani passage station between the East Indies and Suez. ALLEGED FRAUD ON A LO SOClETY.—Yesterday, at the Police-court, John Watson. and Sarah Watson, his mother, were placed at the bar on a charge of obtain ing a loan of £4 15s from a loan society—the signature of one of the parties to the required surety being false. The male prisoner, it was proved, received the money, and the surreptitious signature purported to be that of a Mrs. Catharine O'Neil, of Warren-street, who stated that she had not signed the document, nor authorized any one to do so. The part! who represented Mrs. O'Neil made her appearance in company with the prisoners, but was not in custody. While in the bridewell the prisoners gave up £3 Os. 6d. of the money, and the daughter of the female afterwards brought the balance of the amount re ceived. Under these circu ms t ances, an d f rom it s a l so appearing that the signature of the female prisoner was a real one, Mr. Rushton said that, though the case evidently involved a fraud, there was not sufficient evidence to con vict the accu-ed, and h e consequent l y di sc h arge d them — advising the treasurer of the society to look for the other woman who had personated Mrs. O'Neil. PRAYING TO THE HOLY VIRGIN.--Yesterday, at the Police -court, an Italian seaman, named Vincenzo Borzo, claimed from his captain (Luke,) of the schooner Quiz, the sum of £4 Is. as due for wages. He had embarked at Genoa, in November, at £2 per month, arrived here on the 19th ultimo, and alleged that, bating some advances, the amount stated was due. It appeared by the log-book that the applicant h a d l e ft th e s hip without leave in the long-boat, which, through his c a relessness, was driven upon some rocks and d a maged. The captain (who had offered to pay him £2 as a balance, which was refused,) also stated that the man was not competent to perform his duty as a seaman, and that whenever it blew he av ily in place of assi s ti n g to work the ship, he was in the habit of falling on his knees and praying to the Virgin Mary. Mr. Rushton finally decided that as the wages were but small, the captain should pay him the sum promised, as the leaving! the ship was !not, under the circumstances stated, an act of desertion, and after deducting the dam age done to the boat, and the advances admitted to have been made, that amount would be about the mark. The cap tain, a smart young man, instantly complied. THE CHESTER Cup.—lt will be seen by an advertise.. ment in another column that Mr. White, of the Globe Hotel, has again opened a sweep for the Cheater Cup. Mar. 4, 184 MANCHESTER CHAMBER OF COmMEg SPECIAL MEETING. MANCHESTER, MONDAY The recent proceeding of the league members Manchester Chamber of Commerce excited very ! erable interest in this town, and created in the 1 11 . 1 many of the members a feeling of disgust, which wi be felt by the merchants of this town. As soon trick which the league had played became known quisition to the chairman to call a special meeting . ' Chamber, to conside r th e p ro p r i e ty o f expr essu opinion on the exclusion from office, at the recent meeting, of one of the Directors for the last year I , mended for re-election by the Board, on the 11 ground of his having acted as chairman of an 0 Committee.

Mr. EDMUND ASHWORTH, of Turton, nut in a 0 against the whole proceedings of this day's me' signed by 20 gentlemen out of the 31 who voted Mr. Birley's election at the annual meeting. Mr. EVANS second e d th e p ro t es t, w hi c h was a' to pass without opposition. M. HENRY HOULDSWORTH rose to move the fir solution, and said that a most injnrious step bad taken at the annual meeting, and he thought it the of the members at the earliest possible period to that step. That the course adopted by the mem b the annual meeting was injurious to the chamber 1 , could deny; and in consequence of the course then' six gentlemen, members of the Board of director sent in their resignation. Letters to that effect were then read from Messrs', Peel, Henry Newbury, Thomas Barnes, Robert stone. John Macvicar, and Robert Benson, jun. Mr. HOULDSWORTH proceeded a t cons id era ble I' to point out the evils which would arise unless thing was done to correct the mistake, and conclua l moving a resolution to the effect that the meeting r e ted the decision of the annual meeting, by which 8 06 member of the board had been excluded from that b. and that such a step was at variance with the or constitution, and foreign to the leading objects of su l institution. • This resolution was seconded by Mr. AspisAD NER. An amendment that the meeting be adjourned sif l was then moved and supported by Air. John B r ight , John Brooks, Mr. W. Rawson, Mr. R. Cobden, The discussion occupied five hours, after whi e : amendment was put to the vote, and carried by a la! ) of 102 to 83; thus confirming the proceedings of tO nual meeting, and the exclusion of Mr. Birley. LIVERPOOL SHARE MARKET.-MONDAY Nii There has been a greater demand for Railway this day than has been known for some time pas t ' though the increased inquiry caused higher prices t i asked, this did not check business. The most me advance was in Brighton shares, which were done as . as £66 per share, and closed 654 to 664—the 1 ,4 price quoted on Saturday having been 611. All P I shares were also much asked for, and all realise d vanced prices; in fact, the feeling that money was rs easier bas again produced an inclination to speculate, Mr. Wallace, M.P., Lord Sandon, M.P., Sir ga! Douglas, M.P. and a deputation, had an interviev; Sir Robert P ee l on Saturday. Amongst the gentlemen at the levee of tLe Speak e I the House of Commons on Saturday were, Lord SO Sir H.
