The Chancellor of the Exchequer, in justice to him , to his own propositions, and to the public, should, be fore the close of the debate, lay before the house the full ex tent of all that he contemplated with respect to the revision of duties. Though he supported the motion of the Chan cellor of the Exchequer, yet he would not, in committee, agree to the duties which he intended to propose on sugar. He was opposed to all protective duties, as being imposed for the gain of a few to the prejudice of the community at large. He denied that cheap corn produced low wages, for it had hitherto always been the case that wages were highest when bread was cheapest. At the conclusion of the hon. member's speech, the de -,as adjourned. HOUSE OF LORDS.—FRIDAY. Lord WHARNCLIFFE presented a number of petitions from Liverpool, Manchester, Norwich, and other places, praying for an alteration in the present Marriage Act. One of the principal alterations sought for by the petitioners was, that a widower mi g ht b e perm i tted to marry his deceased wife's sister, who must be supposed to have a greater inter est in him and his children than any body else. The Bishop of LONDON contended that the existing laws were founded on Scripture, and the clergy, for the most part, were in favour of their maintenance. If a man was allowed to marry his sister-in-law, the next thing would be that brothers would seek to marry their own sisters. lie should be sorry to see the day when the prohibition on this subject, which now existed, should be done away with, for, in his opinion, they would lose more in morality than they would hope to compensate by occasional instances of utility.

Mr. GLAnsToNE, on the resumption of the adjourned de. bate on the sugar duties, complained of the manner in which ,nd himself had been attacked by Lord Howick, in his speech on Wednesday evening. The great mortality on his father's estate the hon. gentleman satisfactorily ac counted for, and said that the noble lord in his attack had introduced matter which was wholly irrelevant to the dis- cussion. Lord Howlett said he had confined himself to statistical returns, from which it appeared that a great mortality had prevailed on the estate of Mr. Gladstone, and this mortality was not confined to the aged and infirm, but spread itself generally amongst all classes of adult labourers. The noble lord said that Mr. Gladstone had imputed low and degrading motives to all those who supported the ministerial proposi tions, and th ere f ore it was t h at h e (L or d H ow i c k) was anxious show that the honourable gentleman ought, of all men, to ' , writable in his judgment of others. .. P. HOWARD then addressed the house, and quoted a number of tables, in order to show that the supply of sugar "rorn our own colonies was by no means likely to equal the mand. The honourable gentleman, after commenting at e length on the propositions of the Chancellor of the Ex ec, announced his intention to support them. klderman COPELAND opposed the Government pro calculated to destroy the commerce of the H.

He had been to Liege some time n - der to ascertain what supply of arms could be mm thence in case of an emergency, and he found urers there executing orders which the people im were unable to undertake. On visiting Bir netinie afterwards he was told that they could contend with foreigners as long as t h e corn , d. The right hon. and gallant officer concluded that it was very possible that a change of go at hand ; but if so, he would venture to say, sors of the present ministry must come for- facture ward with very similar propositions. Sir C. DOUGLAS contended that the great tory party in this country had been always opposed to . slavery, and in stanced the exertions of Castlereagh, to induce the great powers of Europe to join in excluding from their markets the produce of all countries which refused after a certain time to abolish the slave-trade. Sir H. PARNELL described the corn laws as a burdensome tax on the people, without adding anything like an equivalent to the exchequer, and contended that the West Indian colo nies under proper commercial regulations would be quite able to compete with other sugar-producing countries. Sir E. WILMOT would not take a single step to serve the West Indian interests beyond the strict line of justice, but On Tuesday, about four o'clock, Hickie, the respited man, by the permission of the Sheriff, and the kindness of Mr. Brebner, was permitted to take a last farewell of his guilty associates. He was brought down ironed, with a great-coat over him, and when first introduced to Doolan, the right reverend Bishop Murdoch and another clergyman were pre sent. The meeting was a very affecting one, and many tears were shed, especially by Hickie. Doolan said, "Hickie, since the Governors have been pleased to spare your life, you will in a short time be removed to a distant colony, where, if you behave yourself, and remember this awful business, you may become a free man in seven or ten years." At this Hickie became much affected, when Doolan extended his hand through the iron bars, and said, " Hickie, behave like a man, and don't put me down." Before leaving the cell, they both kneeled down, and embraced each other, and mutual assurances of forgiveness were passed betwixt them. Dennis said, " Hickie, this is the last time we will meet on earth, but I hope we will meet in heaven." And Hickie replied, saying, " May God Almighty be with you, Dennis." When Hickie was removed, Dennis said, " Oh what would. I give could I shed tears like Hickie." It is almost unne cessary to say that Hickie went over the same ceremony with his other associate in crime, Redding ; but he being much more reserved, the interview was less interesting. To inquiries which we made, Doolan stated that his health had never been better than it was from the moment of his con demnation up to the time of his execution, and indeed this statement was well borne out by the appearance of his brawny arm and ample chest. He said, " Since I came here, there never was need for a doetor to come near me, and I would wish it to be known that I sincerely thank Mr. Brebner and Mr. M'Coll, and especially Mrs. M'Arthur, for their kind attention." On Thursday night Bishop Murdoch remained in the con demned cell till ten o'clock, administering all the spiritual comfort in his power. The culprits were then left with three laymen, who remained with them all night. About one o'clock in the morning they went to bed, and rested till about four, but slept none. They then arose and resumed their devotions, and continued constantly employed in this manner till it was time for them to prepare for their depar ture. They were then assisted to dress, and, during the whole operation, they exhibited the most cheerful resignation. So early as five o'clock, crowds were collected in front of the Jail, and by seven o'clock they amounted to many thou sands. A square was formed by detachments of cavalry, infantry, and police. Precisely at eight o'clock the culprits were brought out, but having descended the steps, it was discovered, rather late unfortunately, that the procession was not completely formed, and in compliance with the orders of the Sheriff, the men were again taken back to the Hall, where they remained for nearly five minutes. During the whole of this delay, not the slightest trepidation was observable in the countenances of either of them. They were then seated in an open carriage provided for the occa sion. They were handcuffed, and chained to each other by the legs. They were respectably dressed in black. The Right Rev. Bishop Murdoch and two priests took their seats with the condemned men, and the exhortations which they had commenced in the cell were continued in the open air. During the progress of the cavalcade, the bishop and one of the priests read alternately from th e book, and Doolan and Redding, from the moment of leaving the prison until within sight of Bishopbridge, never lifted their heads. The crowd along the line of procession was great beyond all for mer occasions. In Saltmarketand High -street every window, and even the tops of the houses, were crowded with onlookers, and the solemnity of the parade was acknowledged by the silence and thoughtful demeanour of all. About half-past nine o'clock, the procession reached the scaffold, which had been erected in the neighbourhood of Bishopbridge. It was the Glasgow platform which had been taken out for the occasion. Doolan and Redding were then taken from their carriage, and attended by the bishop and priests, they as cended the platform. It was, however, intimated to them, that the preparations were not complete, and they descended the stairs, and entered a temporary - wooden shed, where both submitted themselves, with the greatest firmness, to be pinioned. They then ascended the scaffold, and the ropes were put round their necks. The scaffold faced the tempo rary bridge on which the crime was committed, and Doolan, on mounting the scaffold, looked for a moment earnestly at it. Bishop Murdoch offered up an impressive prayer, to which the poor men responded heartily. The caps were then drawn over their eyes, and at the moment that the bishop repeated these words, " 0 Lord receive their souls," the bolt was withdrawn, Redding having at the moment drop ped the handkerchief. Redding appeared to die almost instantaneously, but the sufferings of Doolan were very severe and long continued. In his struggles he was much convulsed, and brought his knees almost to a level with his chest. After hanging forty minutes, the bodies were cut down, placed in their coffins, and brought into Gl asgow pri son, thel procession returning in the same order as it had gone out. So near as the crowd could be estimated by a military gentleman, there must have been upon the ground, and along the line, fully 50,000 people. Notwithstanding such vast numbers, there was neither out rage nor acc id en t that we have heard of. All the infantry were present, with the exception of a single company, and there were four troops of cavalry. The revolting duties were performed by the same hangman who operated upon Templeman. Doolan is a native of King's County, in Ireland, and is from 27 to 30 years of age, but he does not exactly know how many years have passed over his head. He is one of a large family, and his father, Patrick Doolan, has been a small or con-acre farmer all his life-time. He is now up wards of 70, and the criminal spoke with much pain, of the effect that his ignominious fate would have upon the old man. He said, "My father has only two sons in the three kingdoms, but there are some in America, and there's my ould brother in Ireland, who had taken out the mail for Dublin, to come with me to the scaffold, and would have been in this here city yesterday (Tuesday), but his reverence told me to withhold him back." Doolan was a man of strong mind and strong passions. He had received a good educa tion, and wrote a clerkly hand, and from his mental calibre it would be difficult to believe, but for the convincing evi dence that was adduced during the trial, that he had played the first part in the tragedy for which he suffered. He was unmarried. Redding was about 25 years of age, and belonged to Tip perary. Care and ill health had made much larger inroads upon him than upon his companion, and he looked somewhat older. He was less communicative regarding his personal history than Doolan, and although he had received a tole rable education, he was in every respect inferior to his accomplice. He was unmarried. _ . Hickie is the least interesting of the three. With a vacant foolish stare, he never seemed conscious of the enormity of the crime in which he had acted so conspicuous a part ; and though he frankly admitted from the beginning that he had supplied Redding with the hooked bit of iron which the latter used so fatally against Green, he conceived that because he had not personally struck the blow, he was guilt less. He is a native of the county Carlow, and has a wife and child there. He is twenty-two years of age. MRS. WAYLETT, THE ACTRESS.—" Two days ago a gen tleman, who gave his name as Mr. A—, called on the sweet warbler, and after some few apologies for intruding on her as a stranger, informed her that a brother of hi s , a man of considerable fortune, had heard her sing on more than one occasion, and had felt such exquisite delight from her tones, particularly from hearing her Kate Kearney,' that he had on his death-bed made a will, leaving his brothers the great bulk of his fortune between them, on condition that they presented Mrs. W— with a small legacy in money, and the heart of the entranced testator, which was to be carefully preserved in spirits, and remitted to England, the family being then resident abroad. In case this last stipulation was not complied with within twelve months from his decease, the whole property was to revert to the songstress, who, though personally unknown to him, had so often delighted him with her strains. Having thus explained, to the no small surprise of Mrs. W—, who, with shrinking horror, expected him each moment to produce the dead man's heart, he went on to say that his brother had been dead two years, but they had never taken out his heart, and that, conse quently, if she insisted upon it, the whole fortune of the late Mr. A—, of Liege, belonged to his astonished hearer. How ever, at the same time, he expressed a hope that she would not be too hard on the surviving relatives. With her usual good nature, Mrs. AV— instantly consented to forego her her claim, n 0 b acceptin g c m t e i r n e t y h u some s g iv trifling a t s o p k l e e n n d o i f d t i t e rt g u r n a e t t h u a d d e inspired in the breasts of the family."—Dublin University Magazixe. Dear Sir,—Permit me to address to you a few words before the season of conservative principles is passed over, on the last and only one subject which involves the existence of those protestant persecutors—the whigs. They try to flatter the country with the cry of cheap bread. Please to view this last of their scheming shuffles as the very stumbling stone on which they are to fall for ever, if the point is properly man aged by us. Their cry of cheap bread will do for the pau pers begging in the street, or for the tradesmen who do n't meddle in agricultural labour, and with the latter only in case the labouring classes of the empire are not driven into the tradesmen's shops for employment, but when these or their children are crowding in thousands to reduce the wages of tradespeople, then the tradespeople likewise will find the overwhelming destruction brought by the repeal of those laws. And what will the whole nation say to it, who are en tirely depending on the production of their land. If they em ploy labourers, they lose by doing so ; their crops of wheat and oats are not worth carriage to market. They will cease to sow their land, and they must cease to pay their rents. But will their landlords remedy this for them by letting them have their land at lOs an acre. If so, then the ruin falls on the landlordi and landed proprietors of the empire—on all who are in any way interested in land—and on all who are in terested in trade or business, by the increase of their number from amongst the families of the labouring classes. And worse than all this it will cause the prosperity of .other coun tries, in spite of all our competition in other respects. The labouring classes and tradespeople in other countries will find encouraging prospects by this means, and the British will be constantly sending their money to a foreign market, and therefore perpetually draining the English purse. If proper means be not adopted immediately, through the stupidity of our friends, ministers may be permitted to make a trial of this repeal, and thus prolong their stay in govern ment, to the final ruin of England. The scheme is uncon stitutional—un-English, and totally un-Irish too. For the 40s freeholders—Dan's own—are every one depending on the corn market. And so it has only to be properly managed, and Dan's own children will be found to kick against it. And what must England say to it ? To destroy our corn trade, and the whole value of every sod of our English ground, and give the profits of our corn trade to the traders of other coun tries. The plot leads to a reduction of our country to a re publican state, or anything except a strong protestant nation. The above will rise the country—or ought to rise it—against these destructives. ALL must and will oppose them.—l re main, a supporter of the corn laws, and consumer of ENGLISH BREAD WEST INDIAN MAILS TO THE EDITOR OF THE LIVERPOOL STANDARD SIR,—It is with great pleasure that I observe in your va luable paper that the Town-council are about to apply to go vernment to have Liverpool appointed as the port for the ar rival and departure of the West India mails ; this port, being the most central of any in the kingdom, and within a day or a day and a half post at most from any of the principal places trading thither, namely, London, Bristol, Glasgow, or Dub lin, is, I think, the most entitled to this privilege, instead of making the station for these steamers at some port in the South of England, quite unconnected with that trade, and distant a post varying from one to three days from the ports that have the most intercourse with these islands. Allow me, Mr. Editor, to suggest, that the merchants connected with this trade petition parliament to have this port as the station for these mail steamers, and I have no doubt but they will keep up the intercourse with the West Indian co lonies as regularly as the Halifax steamers do with North America, which have, as to punctuality in their arrivals, fully realized the most sanguine expectations. Why should not the West India steamers do the same and cause mercantile intelligence to be equally dispatched from, and received at, all parts of the United Kingdon, instead of letting the South of England have an advantage over the North, Ireland, and Scotland of one to three days? Trusting that I have not trespassed too far on your columns. —I am, respectfully, DICKY SAM. Liverpool, May 10th, 1841. DR. BUTLER'S RETREAT. TO THE EDITOR OF THE LIVERPOOL STANDARD is rather amusing to observe the mode of warfare adopted by the crafty defenders of modern Rome. How dif ferent are the tactics of Rome Pagan and Rome Papal. The fine old Roman soldier of ancient times, although, according to the practices of war, he was ever ready to avail himself of artifice or stratagem when an opportunity offered, still could boldly face the enemy, arid meet them hand to hand on the battle field. But, alas ! Rome Papal has inherited all the craft and subtlety of her predecessor, without one particle of the bravery. A corroboration of this fact has just come under our no tice, in the conduct of Dr. Butler, " chamberlain to the Pope." Ensconced within his strong castle of St. Anthony, from that place of security he launches forth his vaunting challenges—having just professed to examine some of the weapons of his adversaries—those arguments which he thinks he has answered—and which he tells his hearers are innocent and harmless, but of the real efficacy and power of which this " chamberlain of the Pope" is so well satisfied, that he is afraid to expose himself to their cutting properties. But he forgets that even stone walls have ears ; — his challenge gets abroad, and is immediately accepted. hat must be done!! —He becomes alarmed at what he has effectedand no sooner does he see the enemy's forces drawing up in battle array, than, fearing lest St. Anthony's Castle should not prove strong enough, he throws up a mound, and affords every symptom of being desirous of acting on the defensive instead of the offensive, as his challenge would have intimated. And what is this mound, this obstacle which he throws in the way of his adversary, lest he should approach too near his sacred person ? Why, Dr. Butler says his lectures must just be answered before the gates of St. Anthony will be thrown open, and the mighty challenger will make his appearance, and make good his word. And well may these lectures be compared to a mound of earth—for, indeed, they present every appearance of a heap of rubbish, as all arguments must which profess to establish the errors of Popery from the word of the living God. But Dr. Butler has had recourse to another mode of defence : the vaunting challenger pronounces his opponent (Mr. Bay lee) incompetent to meet him. Now, really, this is the first time that we have ever heard of an army superior in disci pline and forces, panting after victory and glory, becoming so lenient and considerate as to refuse to give battle to ano ther, simply because it was inferior in strength. This is not the general line of policy which Popery adopts :—when her enemies are strong, she wisely leaves them alone ; but when they are weak, she persecutes them, and holds them in ty ranny. Surely, Dr. Butler, the more incompetent is your oppo nent, the more certain will you be of that success which you so ardently desire. If you want to gain the victory, surely it is imprudent generalship, on your part, to acquaint your ad versary of his weak points, his incompetency, beforehand, lest either you deter him from meeting you tbrough fear, or give him an opportunity of remedying his defects. No, no ; this mode of defence will not answer : it carries with it the undeniable evidence that the crafty enemy does not wish to come forth, and is only desirous of covering his retreat. In former days there lived another blustering challenger, in the person of Goliah of Gath ; and it is not a little remark able that Dr. Butler, by his mode of warfare, seems to think this renowned character most worthy of his imitation. He also despised his youthful antagonist, and considered the stripling David incompetent for his task. But this boasting challenger was possessed of more courage than his successor, and did not allow this supposed incompetency to deter him from keeping his word. Let Dr. Butler then make good his word also ; let him further follow out the character which he has selected for imitation ; and then, with the blessing of God, his arguments will fall to the ground before the words of eternal beforetruth— li ty — b ethates that pirit spiritual Stone,ea p o o n o , wielded w b h y o s h o u o m v e a r n s i h n o s l t i r f u a m i e s n h t a a l - 1 to o e pobroke nremain, r ;but roenmwhno,nas r, a member sioeverttshall of thefall,it trwilule cgriantdhhoilmic GRAND JUNCTION RAILWAY The following are the Times of Departure from Lime-street, Liverpool, and from Liverpool-road, Manchester :-- TIMES OF DEPARTURE FROM LIVERPOOL AND MANCHESTER TO BIRMINGHAM. 3 30 a.m. First Class, joins London Train at 8 30 a.m. 6 0 a.m. Mixed IP 12 8 15 a.m. First Class 91 1 15 p.m. 10 30 a.m. First Class PP P t 4 p.m. 4 p.m. Mixed 7 p.m. First Class 12 FROM BIRMINGHAM TO LIVERPOOL AND MANCHESTER. 2 15 a.m. First Class—Meets N.

Vivi in the priv country he would, notwithstanding,. oppose the propositions of the government, believing, as he did, that they were calculated to promote the slave-trade. Mr. H. F. BERKELEY feared that it is yet too soon to expose free labour in the West Indies to the competition of slave labour, though he had no doubt but that at no very distant time those colonies would be equal to any competi tion from any quarter. Mr. J. PARKER , on the part of the non-elective portion of the population of this country, was determined to obtain for them, if possible, cheap bread, cheap sugar, and every other necessary of life, on the cheapest possible terms con sistently with the exigencies of the revenue. He believed that the real humanity of the case as regarded sugar was entirely on the side of the government, and this opinion, he believed, was rapidly gaining ground amongst the people. • • Mr. DISRAELI contended that the commerce of Brazi had been greatly over-rated, and was of opinion that more attention should have been shown to Mexico and the other colonies which formerly belonged to Spain, and in which slavery had been abolished. So far from thinking the com merce of the country on the decline, it was his firm belief that it had not yet reached its meridian splendour. Sir H. VERNEY supported the government propositions, as calculated to open new markets to the commerce of the country. Mr.'KEMBLE supported the motion of Lord Sandon, and contended that the reduction of the duties on sugar, as pro posed, would be nothing less than an undoing of all that had been done by the Emancipation Act. Looking at the pro positions of the government, which were, brought forward at the most ill-judged time, he could not help saying that after being eleven years in office they rendered when about to re tire but a sorry account of their financial administration. The CHANCELLOR of the EXCHEQUER said that many of the arguments advanced by gentlemen opposed to the pro posed reduction on sugar were entirely inconsistent with each other. It was contended by some that no revenue would be derived from foreign sugar, for none would be im ported, while others insisted that the country would be so inundated with slave-grown sugar from Cuba that the West Indies would be ruined. Now if foreign sugar should be im ported to any extent, he must derive from it an increased revenue, while, on the other hand, if none was imported, it was clear That no injury could accrue to the West India planter. The right hon. gentleman then contended that, in giving a protecting duty of 50 per cent. to the West Indian sugar grower he gave him all that he was entitled to, and quite sufficient to preserve his interests from any injury, be cause by the proposed duty he fixed a price in effect below which foreign sugar could not be imported, and the West India grower would be therefore insured a fair and reasonable price. On the other hand, by admitting foreign sugar when the price reached the maximum, they insured a supply of sugar to an extent which could be only limited by the power of the people to consume. With respect to the time he had taken to make these alterations the right hon. gentleman contended that he had selected the time with a cautious di rection, in order that the period chosen might be that in which the least possible injury could be done to the West Indies. This was absilutely proved by many hon. gentlemen opposed to the government, who had contended that the sup ply of colonial sugar would be this year so great that the alteration, if made, would be a dead letter. The right hon. gentleman concluded by expresssing his belief that, whatever might be the decision of the house on that occasion, the measures he proposed must be eventually carried. When the right hon. gentleman concluded, the debate was adjourned until Monday. THE EXECUTION AT CROSSHILL (From the Glasgow Mail of Saturday.) Since the revolting crime which brought Burke to the scaffold, we are not aware of any similar circumstance that has excited so much interest in Scotland as the sanguinary transaction at Bishopbridge, the result of which it is to-day our painful duty to record. The premeditated murder of a man, from the combination of those over whom he had charge, is, thank God, rare or without a precedent in this country ; and notwithstanding that crime may reasonably be expected to exist where such a mass of population is gathered together, still the report of the slaughter at Bishopbridge was received with the horror and indignation of every man who had a heart and conscience about him. The circum stances of the tragedy are now well known. The victim was a person of the name of Green, and his murderers were Doolan, Redding, and Hickie. The latter man has been respited, but the extreme sentence of the law has been carried into effect on the two former. CORRESPONDENCE, A RADICAL PEER AND CONSERVATIVE COACHMAN, The Times has published a correspondence between Lord Rancliffe, and George Frisby, " whot drives the Leicester —which is a good thing in its way. It relates to ' lying, bribery, - and such matters. What " thumbing " thumbing" is, the reader must endeavour to collect as well as he can from the noble lord : it is not to be found in the slang dictionary, at least in our edition of it We have called the letters a correspondence between the peer and the coachman; but they are not exactly so, as Lord Rancliffe addresses himself to a Mr. Hardy, and George Frisby in reply addresses himself to the Editor, of the Times—so that, though there is an interchange epistolary between them, it is not direct, but carried on through third church, and a protester against sin, the world, and the devil, in whatsoever form they may appear. Birkenhead, May 15th, 1841. H. C. WHO IS INCOMPETENT? TO THE REV. DR. BUTLER SIR,—In your published lecture you admit that you con sidered your corning to Liverpool an excellent opportunity to DISCUSS THE POINTS OF DIFFERENCE BETWEEN YOU AND YOUR PROTESTANT FRIENDS, and accordingly yielded to the intreaties of those who wished for such a discussion. Having made this admission, you have put it out of your power to decline a discussion, except you are willing to sub mit to the suspicion that A. ONE-SIDED DISCUSSION is the one best suited to Romish divinity. Your Protestant friends, sir, are well aware that Romish doctors have very good rea sons for preferring ONE-SIDED DISCUSSIONS. Sandy divi nity will not bear the storms of controversy, and therefore they do not wonder that the Pope's chamberlain and divi nity professor is most unwilling to submit his baseless fabric to the dangerous test. Needing some excuse to cover your retreat, you allege that it was tenderness of feeling which induced you to refuse to meet Mr. Bay_ lee ! You say, "I am induced from a feeling of Christian charity to decline meeting him ! This gentle man should ever bear in mind that, in entering the lists with me, he does so with fearful odds ! 1 have studied in the universities of the metropolis of Catholicity, and have been long in the habit of teaching the Catholic doctrines in the same metropolis and other cities. I have already published scriptural lectures in defence of our holy religion." Well, then, sir, notwithstanding this formidable prepara tion, Mr. Baylec is still rash enough to be ready to meet you, and offers to give you the following test of competency. He only requires that it should not be a one-sided test. A professor of divinity ought to be skilled in the Scrip tures, the languages in which they were written, the early versions, the principal theological writers, and church his tory. Will you venture, sir, to submit to the following test? Let a meeting be held of 100 educated Romanists and 100 educated Protestants. In their presence lam ready to be examined by you, for two hours, on the following subjects, provided you give me the same public opportunity of exa mining you :- 1. The Scriptures in English. 2. The Hebrew Bible, the Septuagint, and the Greek Testament, including an inquiry into the influence of the Hebrew language, or Biblical Greek. 3. The Chaldee Targums, the Samaritan and Syriac versions, as found in Walton's Polyglott. 4. The Latin Vulgate, and the influence of some of its phrases on modern errors. 5. The views of the principal theological writers of the Christian church. 6. The influence of Jewish and heathen theology and philosophy on the early Christian church. 7. The history of the Christian church. I pledge myself to give no questions on minute points of which no man need he ashamed to be ignorant or forgetful, but to confine myself to such an examination as a divinity professor ought to be prepared for. The questions and answers to be afterwards printed. You have now, sir, an excellent opportunity of doing Rome a service, by shewing the value of her divinity school. If you refuse to meet, your Romanist friends will begin to sus pect on whose side the charge of incompetency lies. Of this, sir, I am quite assured, the limited education of a Romish priest would not enable him to undergo the trial. There is not a Romish priest, or even vicar apostolic, in England, who would dare to do so : at least if there be, I am prepared to meet him. _ _ 01)tpping FRIDAY, MAY 14.—Wind W., calm ARRIVED.—HeIen Stewart, from Manilla—Scotia, Governor, and Lancashire, from Mobile—Fairfield, Wilson, from New York, sailed 18th ult.

Nothing to report by the telegraph persons Lord Rancliffe states the case nearly thus : ' " Bunny-park; May 1, 1841. " Mr. Hardy,—l understand Frisby, who drives the coach from Nottingham to Leicester, has been telling most abomi nable lies, and that I wanted to du, which I never did even to my own tenants—thumb him. I asked him on Monday, at the request of others, if he would vote for Mr. Larpent ; his answer was, he would let me know. He voted on Tues day for Mr. "Walter, but he left a message at the inn at Bunny, saying be had voted for Mr. Larpent, and that the tories were above 100, I think 130, a-head when he left. I went into Nottingham on Tuesday, and find he had told me a lie. I said to him, which I will say to tory, whig, or ra dical, that he was a lying fellow. I respect any man who keeps to his principles, but I hate liars. It is perfectly in different to me whether a whig or a tory represents Not tingham, but I hate falsehood .or deception of all sorts, and I must insist on this fellow contradicting what I understand he says, that I " thumbed him." How could I, when he voted the other way? If he does not contradict his infernal lies in the paper, I shall put the case in the hands of my lawyer." Something follows about money due and owing as between his lordship and the man ; but it is not of much consequence. The noble lord concludes by accusing the tories of ingrati tude ; but, at the same time, wishes them good luck at the next election for Nottingham ! He says : " I ever behaved, as you know, well—aye, .kindly to the tories; and at this election see how I was treated. My own feeling is that of thorough contempt, and hope that next election you may have two tories who will treat Nottinghum as it deserves. " Yours, &c., _ _ " RANCLIFFE." In what category are we to place this eloquent peer ? If he is neither fish, flesh, nor fowl, he is certainly capital red herring, and very piquant in flavour. He hates the tories, and yet he wishes them to represent Nottingham ! He once represented Nottingham himself, and he shows his own gra titude by wishing the inhabitants to have torics " who will treat the town as it deserves !" But there is a postcript which serves in some degree to explain these seeming incon sistencies. It runs thus : " P.S.—Be so good as to read this letter to that liar Frisby ; a more venal corrupt place does not exist than Nottingham. I can prove that votes were bought as publicly as pigs in a market." Lord Rancliffe is but too plainly a disappointed man ; and writing under feelings of irritation, he spares nobody. The tories are ungrateful—the whigs are corrupt—and poor George Frisby is over and over again pronounced to be a " liar" of the first magnitude. But one story is good till the other is told. Now what says George, the coachman ? Why he totally denies Lord Rancliffe's charge ; he says he never promised to vote for Mr. Larpent, and that the noble lord is altogether in error; and we believe him. We wish we had room for his excellent reply, for we own that it does credit to the " bat ;" but the pre-occupation of our space will not admit of it. Suffice it, however, to say that the " Leicester Coachman" makes out a rebutting case, which leaves his noble, but too hasty accuser, nothing to boast of. THE CORN LAWS TO THE EDITOR OF THE LIVERPOOL STANDARD. Sine . wdly suspecting 'that the charge of incompetency would not go down with reflecting persons, you have another expedient to avoid the dreaded discussion. You say, "By such a proceeding I should, in a grievous manner, commit myself with the venerable bishops of the Catholic church in this kingdom !" Why, sir, you are not under the jurisdic tion of the Catholic bishops of this kingdom. They reject you as an intruder, and protest against your theology as ido latrous and superstitious. Perhaps, however, you mean the " vicars apostolic" of the Roman schism. It so, I suspect they will not thank you for the insinuation you thus throw out against them. IS IT POSSIBLE THAT THEY ALSO LOVE ONE-SIDED DISCUSSIONS ! YOU do not commit yourself with them by holding a discussion in a Romish chapel where you have no opponent, but the moment (to use your own phrase) " an Irish Protestant parson" appears and offers to test your doctrines by the light of God's word, they advise a prudent retreat ! It seems, then, that the heads of the Roman schism in England agree with you in opinion that a good retreat is better than a bad battle. Perhaps, sir, you could help me out in a Latin criticism. Why are they called vicars apostolic? My Latin dictionary tells me that vicarius means a substitute.. Are they called vicars because they substitute an opposite line of conduct and preaching to that pursued by the apostles ? In doctrine and practice they are opposed to the apostles. This is clearly exemplified with respect to oral controversy. Have you ever read, sir, of the holy apostle St. Paul for two whole years " disputing daily in the school of one Tyrannus " ? (See Acts, xix. 9.) Think you that he loved one-sided dis cussions, or that his Jewish and Gentile opponents were content to listen in silence ? Have you read of another who " mightily convinced the Jews, and that publicly, proving by the Scriptures that Jesus was the Christ" ? (Acts xviii. 28.) But you say, " Platform exhibitions do great mischief." It is true, sir, they do mischief; but not to the cause of truth. They seriously damage the pretensions of - erroneous teachers. There is indeed an unhappy tendency in all controversy to stir up bad feelings, and the servants of God need on such occasions to be especially on the watch—remembering that " the wrath of mhn worketh not the righteousness of God." But the same apostle's conduct proves that this is not a valid reason for refusing such a mode of testing truth. St. Paul disputed publicly for three months in the Jewish synagogue. " Divers were hardened and believed not, but spake evil of that way before the multitude." Did he cease from oral controversy ? No : he continued it for two years in a school-room. - (Acts, xix. 8-10.) And now, sir, in conclusion, God, that searches the hearts, knows that I write this in no vainglorious boasting.* I do so upon the urgent intreaty of valued clerical brethren. I can most truly say I do so without one feeling of unkindness for you. I hate your errors : I love your person. That you and the souls now led astray by you may be led into the fold of Christ, and there learn to trust in Him, and in Him only, for pardon and peace and blessedness, is, sir, the earnest prayer of Your obedient servant, JOSEPH BAYLEE.

Tea.—ln the early part of the week there was considerable ex. citement in the market, and common Congous :•nd Twankays advanced 3d to 4d per lb; in the good and fine kinds but little was done. Yesterday and to-day the market became quiet, and prices rather lower, chiefly in consequence of the large sales advertised to take place in London on the 14th, 18th and 22nd instant. The only sale reported in Indigo has been 20 chests Bombay Fig at 22d per lb. 50 chests of Shell Lac brought 41s to 435; 20 chests of Gum Arabic, 24s for siftings, and 428 for middling bold; and a few serons of silver Cochineal 4s 6d per lb.

Of Nitrate of Soda, 400 bags brought steady prices, but 100 tons to arrive sold at 2s 66 per cwt. Dyewoods.—The sales of Catnpeachy Logwood are only 40 tons, at et) toV'n Ss, but a cargo has been taken for export, the price of which has not transpired 30 tons Jamaica have brought £6 5s : 20 tons Savanilla Fustic at £5 as ; a few tons Camwood £3O, and some Barwood £7 per ton. Turpentine continues to decline, and 500 brls. of fair quality have been sold at 3d to 6d per cwt. reduc tion from previous prices; the Trade are still unwilling buyers at present rates. The parcels of American Tar, comprising 2500 brls., have been sold at 13s 6cl to 13s 96. Montreal Pot and Pearl Ashes are in very limited demand at the quotations. Hides. — About 3800 salted Monte Video Ox have been sold at 4id to aid, and a few Cows at 4d, 600 Rio Grande Ox at 4d for sound, and 700 Jamaica at Sid to 52d per lb. Tobacco.—The sales this week are 130 hhds., of which 60 were for Ireland. The market is now steady at the corrected quotations. • Only small sales Continue to be effected in Brimstone, with a tendency to further reduction in price c a lot of 25 tons of very inferior Tuscan has been sold at e 4 5s per ton. Sumac continues in limited demand. For the common descriptions of Argots there has been more inquiry; sales have been effected of 40 casks Portugal, and 20 cases Bologna white, at previous rates. Nothing done either in Annatto or Persian Berries. In Madders and Roots no sales reported. 20 hhds. Philadelphia Bark sold at lls gd. The demand for Olive Oil, in consequence of several arrivals, has been nearly suspended, and the market may be considered rather easier than it has been for some time past. In Fish Oils the business is limited to small sales of Cod and Seal, at former prices. Linseed Oil has been sold at Obs to 30s 6d, which is again rather lower, and Rape Oil is dull of sale. Oil of Turpentine continues to give way In price; 52s is the nominal rate, but a lower price would be taken for quantities of 5 tons and upwards. The sales of Palm Oil, on the spot, have not been extensive, about 80 tons only having been sold during the week ; the price is steady at £35, and some inquiry again appears for export; 200 tons, to arrive, have been sold at £34 10s per ton. In Hemp there are no sales to communicate, except 100 bales of Jute at £l4 10s per ton. The Tallow market is fiat; the transaction in Petersbukg yellow Candle are confined to lots at rather low rates, and fine Odessa has been sold at 475; in American no sales are reported. but some large parcels are ad vertised for public sale. LIVERPOOL COTTON MARKET, MAY 14 The demand to-day is much the same as 'previously this week, and the sales will amount to 2,000 or 2,500 bales, with out any change either in prices or the general feeling, which is unusually quiet, and has a downward tendency. With a gradually easier market it is difficult to state the exact decline, but -} per lb has been generally submitted to ; and for the ordinary and common descriptions of American fully 4- per lb decline since Friday last. • Our weekly sales are 13,860 bales, of which exporters have taken 400 American and 100 Surats, with 500 American on speculation account. COTTON MARKET, MAY 15. A very quiet market again to-day, with a demand for 1500 bales which have been sold at yesterday's prices. The Columbia from Boston and Halifax, with dates to the 4th instant, brings account: of a great falling off in the receipts, say 3g0,000 bales less that last year. which clearly proves the " short crop" cry to have hac truth on its side for once. COTTON MARKET, MAY 17. • Our Cotton market has had more animation to-day than for some time past; the demand has been very general, and though only. for small quantities, yet the total business is fully 3000 bales, at last week's prices. The New York Packet, Siddons, of the Ist instant, arrived this morning; the accounts from the States are considered very satis factory, and no doubt is entertained but that they will shortly en joy a sounder state of commercial prosperity, established on a firmer and healthier footing than heretofore. The effect of this will it is expected be shortly preceptible in the Manchester market, and give a business-like tone to ours, which we have been so much in want of for the last six weeks. COTTON MARKET WEEKLY REPORT , The market continua in the same dull state in which it has been for some weeks past, and the demand being limited for all descrip tions. The prices of last week have with difficulty been obtained, and in many instances the lower qualities of American have sold at id per lb decline ; Brazil and Egyptian may be also considered rather lower. Speculators have taken 500 American, and Exporters 400 American and 100 Surat. ACCOUNT OF SALES AND IMPORTS OF COTTON, From the 7th to the 13th instant, inclusive.

LIVERPOOL PROVISION MARKET , MAY 17 ... The free trade, and slavery promoting mania, with which her Majesty's ministers have lately become infected, has caused parties interested in the promotion of Irish agriculture, to labour under feelings of the most intense anxiety and depression,—this added to the belief that there will be a super abundant production of Butter this season, deters dealers from indulging in anything beyond the " hand and mouth" system. Nevertheless, with a knowledge of the fact that the consumers are very low in stock, we have no hesitation in averring th it if the " Incubus" upon our commercial energies be only speedily removed, and a masculine and conserva tive policy established ;—substantial justice will be rendered to Ireland, by a liberal consumption of every article of produce on the part of those who deal with her. We do not to day alter our quotation for favourite brands, but may remark that a serious fall in price has taken place in most of the Irish markets. Pickled Butter has declined in value here fully 8s per cwt. Seconds are to be bought today at Os to 9Ss. Nothing interesting passes in the Provision or Bacon trade. LIVERPOOL CORN , MARKET MAY 15 _ _ With the exception of about 5,300 qrs. of Oati from Ireland, cur arrivals of grain, &c., either from that country or coastwise, have, during the last seven days, been extremely small. The receipts from abroad include 14,140 qrs. of Wheat, 1,320 qrs. of Oats, and 4,700 brls. of Flour; but duties have been paid upon only 2,712 qrs. of Wheat, 20 qrs. of Beans, and 54 brls. of Flour. Under the agency of the continued fine weather, and the still pending Ministerial measure as to the Corn-laws, the trade has remained in the same inactive state that we had occasion to report on this day se'nnight ; but, as regards Wheat, without any further decline in price. The best rinis of Irish mealing Oats have been sold at 3s to 3s Id, Id per 451hs. below our last quotations ; and Oatmeal at 26s to 27s per load. United States Flour, duty paid, has met a limited sale at 348 to 358 per barrel: Irish manufacture has been neglected. The Barley remaining over consists chiefly of a few parcels of foreign, suitable for grinding, which have sold in retail at 4s 2d to 4s 6d per 60 lbs. No change as regards Beans or Peas. A few hundred barrels of American Flour have been sold in bond at 20s to 23s 6d per brl : the former price taken for New Orleans. LONDON GAZEITh.-FRIDAY, MAY 15, PARTNERSHIPS DISSOLN ED T.
