APART altogether from the consideration of any question of religion, there can be no doubt that the conventual system of the Church of Rome, as far as it is coercive of personal liberty, is at variance at once with our national institutions and our national feelings and habits of freedom.

EMIGRATION FROM LIVERPOOL GERMANY MOVING WESTWARD. THE emigration from Liverpool this year, thus far, has exceeded that of any previous year; but the numbers of Germans and other kindred European races have now become so great as to impart an entirely new aspect to the movement. Ireland is contributing less than her usual quota of her Exodus to this port, and confining it to her o ports ; while the deficiency, which would otherwise have been created, has been filled up by the mechanics and respectable agricultural classes . of England, and the overflowing from the European popu lation. The total emigration of the first three months of 1850, 1851, and 1852 was as follows : January 1851. 12,126 11,986 1852. 7,749 11,849 February March 16,783 17,571 20,460 Total, Three months 32,505 41,683 39,058 It will be seen from the above figures, taken from the Government returns, that we have not quite kept pace this year with the emigration of the first three months of 1851.

The fluctuations have bean greater and more fre quent during the past week ; still the tendency of the market is dccid, , dly towards progressive improvement. The long-pending dispute between Messrs.

In Tea and Coffee very little and no change is to be noted in prices. , however, is beginning to excite atten s not wonderful, when we bear in mind ime very useful descriptions of common Tea have elv been selling fifty per . cent lower than they were orth twelve months ago. e latter article COTTON : —This market remains in a peculiar position, .ed absence of arrivals. The stocks nave become greatly reduced ; of some descriptions there is a very deficient assortment ; and holders have been enabled to maintain prices, which since Friday were slightly against the buyers, and in some instances above Friday's rates. On Saturday 8,000 bales were sold, of which 1,000 were for speculation and export; and yesterday the sales amounted to 10,000 bales,of which 3,000 were for specu lation and export, at full prices, notwithstanding the news bytheEuropa,and the fact that the unusually large quantity of 350,000 bales is known to be on the way, and a consider able portion of it within a week's sail of the port. By the latest telegraphic advices received from New Orleans and the south by the steamer Europa, the quantity of cotton received at the ports was 2,400,000 bales, or equal to last year's crop. The general estimate, received by private hands, is 3,000,000 bales, and some give even more, the large receipts still continuing, although it is said con fidently by some that they must shortly drop off. There is a fair demand for drysalteries. g to the continue The general feeling on 'Change is that the increase of money facilities must shortly operate npon produce of all descriptions, and that we shall shortly have a run of large transactions. But this is dependent upon the result of the forthcoming election, and will take place if that result seat the Derby administration firmly in power. LOCAL NEWS.

THE DOWLING TESTIMONIAL.—SOnIa short time ago a committee of the superintendents, inspectors, &c. of the Police Force was formed for the purpose of promo ting amongst that body a subscription in aid of the testi monial to Mr. Dowling. We understand that, on Friday, the men at the •arious stations were appealed to, but so insignificant was the response, that it was deemed advisa ble to return the amounts collected. This fact may be taken as a proof that Mr. Dowling could never have com promised his duty to gain the favouritism of the force. FATAL RUNAWAY ACCIDENT.—On Tuesday evening, a horse attached to a phaeton took fright in Brownlovr hill, and ran with great violence along Chatham-street, where it came into contact with a lamp-post, and was stopped.

SEWAGE GUANO.—It is an established fact, that fully one-half of the really valuable productions of nature have been thrown away by mankind from their inability to convert them to useful purposes. This has been espe cially the case with respect to articles susceptible of che mical change. The advance of science, however, has already done much to check this waste of wealth ; and it is destined to do much more. In the course of another score of years we suspect that we shall no longer be ran sacking foreign lands for products of which the raw ma terial's lie in abundance at oar own feet. We shall` no longer, for example, have our shipping, to the extent of hundreds of thousands of tons, exploring the coasts of inhospitable lands and barren rocks, to bring away the deposits of sea-fowl to manure our fields, whilst fertiliz ing matter of every description is either putrefying in our streets or being conveyed down the sewers of our large towns, poisoning our atmosphere and our rivers. Our attention has been directed to this subject by an adver tisement in our columns from the Sewage Guano Com pany, which, judging from our knowledge of the respect ability of some of its directory, and the excellence and perfect feasibility of its objects, seems to us to promise most profitable results, We cannot do better than refer our readers to the prospectus itself for the details, but must remark that it promises, in addition to profit to those engaged in it, to be productive of much good to the public. DEATH OF A CHILD FROM AN OPlATE.—Yesterday an inquest was held on the body of a child, a month old. the illegitimate daughter of Jane Hughes, who resides at 23, Peach-street. On Wednesday morning, the child having a "stuffing" at the chest, the mother sent a girl eleven years old to the shop of Mr. Threlfield, druggist, Brownlow.hill, for a pennyworth of " ipec wine." The girl brought what she (the mother) considered to be ipec wine, and she gave the child half a tea spoonful of it. The cup in which the mixture was had no label on it. The child immediately fell asleep, but did not continue so for more than ten minutes, and in about an hour afterwards she was seized with convulsion fits. She took the child to Dr. Lister, who said it was dying. She told him that she had given it half a teapoonful of ipec wine, and he said that was right enough, and ordered her to put the child into a warm bath. The child continuing very ill, she took it to the druggist's shop, and she asked Mr. Threlfield if he had sold ipec wine to a girl whom she described. He con sidered a little while, and then said, " It was not ipee wine,—it was opium wine." The child was then taken to Dr. Cooper, and be ordered coffee and brandy to be ad ministered, as strong as it could be given. The child died about six o'clock on the following night. Mr. Cooper, the surgeon, stated it to be his opinion that the child had died from extreme prostration, produced from the effect of an opiate. The Coroner strongly commented upon the practice of druggists selling opiates without due care and caution. A verdict of chance medley was returnee). SWEARING IN OF CAPTAIN GREIG.—On Saturday morning the Mayor, accompanied by Mr. Tobin, Mr. T. Lloyd, and Mr. J. B. Lloyd, entered the Police-court and took their seats on the bench by the side of Mr. Mans field. Captain Greig simultaneously entered the court with Mr. Hughes, the deputy town-clerk, who proceeded to administer the oath which binds the chief constable to the discharge of the duties of his office. Captain Greig was sworn in twice, namely, as chief constable of the borough and of the docks. The ceremony having been gone through, Mr. Mansfield, addressing Captain Greig, congratulated him on his appointment to his very impor tant office, an office of great trust and honour, whether regarded in its national or local character. He would soon have the control of a great number of men, and would find that there was bad as well as good among the number. The office of police constable was one of consi derable honour, and ho trusted that henceforth the fact of a man having filled that office would operate as a recom mendation to him in the world instead of the contrary, as in some instances had been the case. The first point in the duty of every police constable was, that his evidence in that court should be both direct and truthful. Ano ther point be would refer to while on that subject was the fact of frequent complaints having been made against the police, when having the charge of prisoners, of not treat ing them as gently as they ought, and as the public nave a right to expect. His duty would be obvious in such cases. A further matter of complaint was the frequency of charges of intoxication made against the police. By referring to the official books, it would appear that the punishment inflicted on a policeman for being drunk while on duty was a fine of 2s. 6d., a punishment quite insufficient, for the frequency of the offence either showed that the men were so intemperate that they would not refrain from spending their own money while on duty, or it showed that they received money from some one else, which was nothing less than bribery. Mr. Mansfield continued He would find, after he had been in office some time, that he would be solicited by persons desirous of influencing him and obtaining some favour : it was quite unnecessary in him to direct a gentleman, who had had the honour of holding a commission from her INAUGURATION OF CAPTAIN GRRlG.—Yestetday. be tween one and two o'clock, the whole of the officers of the police force, whose duties would permit their attendance, were called tofether at the Seel-street station, for the purpose of being formally introduced to the newly appointed Head-constable. Mr. Tobin, the Chairman of the Watch Committee, introduced the veteran officer in an appropriate address, in which he lauded the past energies of the men, and expressed a hope that in the exercise of their duties they would ever endeavour to restrain unnecessary violence. Captain Greig briefly replied, expressing his high opinion of the appearance of that portion of the force before him. The active duties of Captain Greig may now be said to have commenced. _ EXTENSIVE FIRE AT MANCHESTER.—On Tuesday night, about eleven o'clock, several workmen in the dip ping room of Messrs. Cooper and Brothers' manufactory for patent tallow candles, on the Salford side of the river Irwell, Manchester, were suddenly startled by a powerful reflection of light from a room on the first floor, in which the cotton wicks were stored. They soon ascertained that the place was on fire, and the flames spread with such rapidity that they had barely time to alarm other workmen and make their escape. The building, which was three stories high, was wholly destroyed in less than an hour. The damage in stock is estimated at £6OOO, and to the building at £l5OO or £2OOO. The origin of the fire is a mystery, as there had been no light in the room where it commenced throughout the day. THE WEATHER AND THE SHIPPING OUTSIDE.—During the past week the wind has remained in its long-continued easterly quarter, shifting about, however, alternately to north-east and south-east. The result, combined with absence of seasonable rain, is severely felt throughout this part of the country, the herbage of which is parched, and vegetation kept back. A few of the inward-bound ships. so much wanted in port, have contrived to struegle up during the past week ; but it is considered that there must be at least three or four hundred sail of large ships in the Channel, and close off, which the first few days' fair wind must bring into port. Yesterday afternoon the wind had got round to north-north-west, and was getting still more westerly ; and, unless we are deceived, the next two days will exhibit upon the Mersey such a fleet of vessels as it has seldom borne upon its waters. ALARMING ACCIDENT.—On Thursday afternoon the horse in a car belonging to John Downey, which was standing at the back of St. George's Church, became alarmed and started off. He ran against one of the other cabs on the stand and capsized it. The horse then turned along Castle-street towards the Exchange, and a man, who made an attempt to stop the animal, was knocked down, and the wheel of the car passed over his body. He was also cut in the head. When taken up he was carried into a druggist's shop, where he had his wounds dressed. The horse still dashed on, and turned round into Water street. Near the bottom of the street the car caught against a lamp-post, and the horse turned three times round the post dragging the car after him. The driver then came up and secured the runaway. Singularly enough, neither horse nor car sustained any serious injury. DEATHS FROM BURNING.—On Sunday morning, Wm. James Connate, a child four and a half years old, who resided with his father in a room at No. 6, Burley-street, during the absence of his parent set fire to his clothes, and was so severely burned as to cause death in a few hours afterwards.—On the night of the 6th instant, Alice Stopforth, a woman 55 years of age, who lodged in Cal vin-strew, accidentally set fire to her clothes whilst sit ting beside the fire, and was so severely burned as to cause her death on Saturday last. The deceased had been sitting up during the whole of the previous night, and it is supposed that she fell against the fire whilst asleep.—Mary M'lnarney, a child three years of age, who resided at No. 8 court, Paul-street, died on Saturday last in consequence of having accidentally set fire t o her clothes on the previous Monday. ROBBERY OF A GROCER'S STORE.—On Tuesday last Moses Jones and Aan Jones were tried before the Re corder at the borough sessions for stealing llcwt. of sugar and large quantities of other articles from the shop of Mr. Beynon, grocer, Ranelagli-street. The male pri soner was a butcher in Limekiln-lane, and the female had been a domestic servant to Mr. Beynon, in which capacity it was proved that she had possessed herself of a key which opened the cellar door, and a series of rob beriol had gone on from day to day. The goods were found upon the premises of the male prisoner. Both were found guilty and sentenced, the female to 13 months' went for stealing, and tile male prisoner for 015 months with hard labour. A portion of which had been found at the female's apart -10, was handed over to Mr. Beynon, who le dishonesty of his ser ant, Majesty fo long, how to act in such i;caseThe;;;coni dent he would reject any such overtures made to himself, and discourage the practice of the system in his subordi nates.

PARIS, SUNDAY.—The budget for 1833 shows a defi ciency of 40,000,000 francs, caused by carrying on extra ordinary public works. Arrangements were, however, contemplated, which would effect a reduction of 32,000,000 francs, so that no loan would be required. 260 prisoners, out of 279 sentenced to transportation, have been released at Toulon. This act had produced a most favourable impression. LONDON. RIGHT OF JEWS TO SIT IN PARLIAMENT.- IMPORTANT DECISION. COURT _OF EXCHEQUER.—MONDAY. MILLED. 2. SALOMONS. Judgment was given in this case to-day. It was an action to recover penalties from Alderman Salomons for having sat and voted in the House of Commons without having taken the required oaths. Baron MARTIN was of opinion, that as the oath as taken by the defendant was the form most binding on his conscience, that was the mode in which he most con formed with the law ; and he was, therefore, of opinion that judgment ought to be entered for the defendant. Baron ALDERSON differed from Baron Martin, and was of opinion that judgment should be entered for the plaintiff until the form was altered. Baron PARKE thought judgment should be for the plaintiff. The LORD CHIEF BARON said it could not be doubted that the oath must be taken in the very:form and words prescribed by the act, and judgment must therefore go to the plaintiff. Judgment for the plaintiff acco dingly. TAT TE RSAL L'S BETTING.

On the motion of Mr. HARDCASTLE, a new writ was ordered for the borough of Tavistock, in the room of Mr. Trelawney, who has just resigned. The ATIOI,NEY-GENERIAL obtained leave to bring in a bill to render it unnecessary to summon grand' juries on the metropolitan districts, and for the amendment of the criminal law in several' respects. He stated' that on the second reading he would fully explain the provisions of the measure. EASM FNMA: COMPANY'S CHARTER; Mr. HERRIES, in an elaborate speech of great length, moved for the appointment of a select committee to in quire into the government of her Majesty's territories in the East Indies, with reference to the renewal of the hon. company's charter. Mr. ANSTEY, in a• very long speech, moved, as an amendment, that an address be presented to her Majesty, praying her to take the necessary measures forsending commissioners of engniry into British India with the view of obtaining further informatiomrelative to the condition of that empire, and of ascertaining the feelings and wishes of its population,. both native and European, before Par— liament is called upon to pass any measures for the con tinuance of the present powers and authorities of the East -India Company. Mr. BAILLIE opposed' the amendment. Sir J. COLEBROOK likewise spoke in opposition to , the amendment. Mr. HARDINGE corrected, from his own personal know ledge, some of the statements which Mr. Anstey had made, relative to the condition of the native population or Tndia. Mr. Humg entirely - concurred in•rnany of the state. ments of Mr. Anstey, but would• recommend him to withdraw his amendment. . Sir J.HoGG,on the part of the directors of the East rndia Company, declared that theirsoledesire was that the fullest information should' be laid before the House and the country, and they - earnestly hoped that the result of the impending enquiry would tend to- the welfare and pros perity of the vast population of Etdia. Sir R. H. INGLIS- and Mr. GSULBURN urged the re sponsibility which rested upon this country to provide for the instruction of the natives in India in the principles of the Christian religion. Lord J. RUSSELL referred to- the impartial adminis tration of justice, the system of popular education, and other improvements which had been introduced into hulls by the British government under the act of 1833. and expressed a hope that although it-might perhaps be found possible to improve some of the details of that measure, its great outlines- would be maintained in the bill which was shortly to be introduced into parliament. After a few word 9 from Sir IL WILLOUGHBY and-Mr. MANGLES, the amendment was negatived, and the mo tion agreed to. without a division. The Passengers Act Amendment Bill passed through committee. The Poor Law Bill was read a second time. The house adjourned at five minutes past one. FUNDS, STOCK, AND SHARE MARKET. The English Market has rather given way.
