berpoot -)tatibarb, }I OUR LONDON CORRESPONDEN7 Monday Morning Liverpool election—always in a contest, perhaps, .st in importance—has been very generally discussed; wally I do not know that any man is more indebted use who have attacked him than Mr. FORBES CENZIE. He has had, during not a very long public a great amount of press abuse, too great not to o the supposition of its being organized. But of be able to tell you in a little time somethir In the meantime, I wonder much what arms le seal of the " leader" in the Scotsman, ;n Liverpool speech, and what post-mark was on at a wonderful change of style it was '—and then the an' a' thae nick- I" Louis Prodigious Chl Nn o' the Scotsman" a the learned languages, Dominie says, ou know, said, that when he gave away an made one man ungrateful, and a hundred '—and how many refusals of "small requests" may have made—' " Gude guide AloonE is the sort of man we want to eternal array of false statistics,—the " two things Dbe believed, facts and figures." Mr. GEORGE ICK YOUNG is in bad health ; but Mr. BRAMLEY ;tter debater, even if it were not so er such a miracle as the Crystal Palace con any mortal gardener before ? It has positively id the press, made prejudices and if it did not exactly create universal the coup d'elat to wit), but rather on the contrary owed by a militia bill, it has extinguished Chartism d quarters and created an extreme Royalist party t the Whig Radicals and Democrats. Messrs. d HENDERSON, it seems, are making the most of it remains. They engaged Mr. BEST to " preside at an" on Saturday week, and probably contemplate an offer to F lANCONI and his troupe, if the Pre to quit Paris a theatrical company which ror once delighted to honour, and which is, )erhaps, one of the "ideas" of Napoleonism. he metamorphosis of political feeling is the most sable thing of all—for the Lord Chief Justice, ahabits Strath-Eden House, opposite the Crystal is the leader of the sedition which declares that 3rk is the people's, and the House must come ; the Radical Press say the people have no claim kind—that the park is the Queen's, and call ) exercise her Royal prerogative, to despise lar cry and keep it up. Thus Lord Lis aid the Lord Chief-Justice are placed in a a condition. They must get up every morning !e from their dressing-room windows, not the sward of the Park and the sable waters of the entine, with here and there a soldier and early ymaid, or indignant convalescent strolling for fresh ut a wall of glass, worthy of the Arabian nights, ig their eyes and destroying their tempers. The of the fashionable people in the Knightsbridge-road therefore, become very anxious that the building Id, according to agreement, come down, and the ited opposition" are as anxious that it should stay up. fact, there is an idea amongst the Radicals that the f this building would be the greatest imaginable , gards the common people—that the cry to con. ay aid, in its own small way, in getting up a feral cry against a part of the government,— inferior one,—the Woods and Forests. Down, cr, the Cr 'stal Palace must come ; and the " memo- ;be building" will not be required to perpetuate the of the event of which it was the outward sign. If Ldvanced " Civilisation," it is well. Civilisation is o some creation of magic or necromancy, which s that certain places or structures shall not be d, lest everything crumble to pieces. mple, in bringing on political change, is worth easens ; and what certain boroughs were in g• both general and municipal reform, the Dean ter of Rochester are becoming in the cause of The curious calculation by which their own incomes according to the altered value , and make their disbursements in the currency iffie of HENRY VIII., is too flagrant to be misun d. To be consistent, they ought to allow to a labourer one penny per day, and require to buy a sheep for one-and-sixpence. The bill of the ATTORNEY-GENE RAL, however. providing a simple remedy for the enforce ment of educational trusts by means of the County Court, will meet such cases as that of the Dean and Chapter of er. The late ministers could cry out loudly about ssity of assisting education, but it was reserved resent government to take a practical and effec tive step—that of enabling the enforcement of strictness )norny in the administration of educational funds, the interference of the Court of Chancery, the hich tribunal has made so much peculation and .ation safe. d trusts the nec, and ec The " united opposition" are in a humorous quarrel as to who is to be Prime Minister when the revolutionists again obtain power. Lord JOHN RUSSELL has probably no more than his own consent, and Sir JAMES GRAHAM can number few adherents outside the ranks of the PEEL. ITES. Lord CLARENDON cannot be thought of, as he would not be supported by the Popish brigade; and on the whole the honorary office is gone a begging. Lord PALMERSTON, who so faithfully served so many adminis trations of so many different political opinions, the Kos suth mob once intended should before he died have an administration of his own ; but Diis aliter visum. His approval of the coup d'etat has banished the glorious vision, and he is fain to go back and consult with the inconsolables in Chesham-place. It is to be hoped that no immediate necessity for a leader of the revolutionary party is likely to arise, as not even Feargus O'Connor is in trim to accept the office. So Louts NAPOLEON i 5 to be Emperor by hereditary right, as the man in the farce is a tailor " by right of primogeniture." He has traced the appointment up to four years before he was born, when four millions of votes made the Empire hereditary in his family. It will be recollected that in his address to his livery servants whom be lately assembled as a senate, he threatened that, if the people were not quiet, he would favour them with the Empire. Accordingly, convenient conspiracies are begin ning to appear to the well-accustomed eyes of the police. Socialism is becoming adventurous, if you believe the en in cocked hats and yellow baldrics, and the " President of the Republic" is standing over a volcano. The prefects of police point clearly to a state of affairs, among what were the Red Republicans, beyond the reach of applications of Cayenne to cure. There is nothing for it but the desperate remedy of the Empire. The " cruellest way is the kindest way," they think, and is better to put on the bee-embroidered robes at ce ; for, if all that is wanted is a conspiracy, when difficult to get one up in France ? The priests raptures, and there is hope of his Holiness finding f once more in Notre Dame. Cardinals' hats will soon s great a discount as crosses of the legion of honour, 7 are being put to similar uses—the maintenance of iapartistregime. In the meantime, a trifle of ridicule wn upon the incipient empire by the sudden deter on of LuctEN MURAT to assume the kingdom of 3.

What will Austria and NICOLAS this ? and what apology will the amiable BOMBA, >tcge of CHARLES MACFARLANE, require from the ous aspirant ? A file of musketeers, it seems, cannot wish the monarchy of the 3lntATs, and LUCIEN bly is of opinion that his hereditary right is as good lo can say it is not ? The Bishop to the +l,l , NP; dn'a, and wt 3RAUX says that the popular voice is not only ght, but the only Divine right which can be con asserted and ascertained.

Perhaps Lord DEBBY'S committee some- THE LIVERPOOL STANDARD, TITESDAT, APRIL 13, 1852. in the Lords, and that to be moved b Mr. HUME in the Commons, may throw some light upon the subject. So the Income Tax steadily decreases. Mr. CARDWELL had better apply again to his friends Mr. G. R. PORTER and Mr. MACGREGOR for instructions how to deal with that fact. The income tax, in truth, represents the pro perty and the industry of the country; and, as free trade advances, it steadily goes down, and what say the free traders ? Why that it ought to be imposed on those whose incomes are below as well as those whose incomes are above £l5O, per mermen. There is comfort for the working classes ! Peel has at length a chance of being " remembered in their dwellings" with a vengeance ! The illustrations of the Free-trade journals are very fair and simple. They are "as easy as lying." The classes whose incomes are under £l5O, they say, aro those who enjoy the benefits of Free-trade, and till they are rated to the income tax, it will be no test of how Free-trade is work ing. One of the Free-trade journals tells us that. such " very unjustly and unwisely exempted from ns of the tax." Had not some of the Liver- Mr. CARDWELL whether he is onies arc the opera pool people better ask PREPARED TO TAX INCOMES UNDER .Zl5O ? for such it seems is the project of his party, if ever they are in a condition to act in office again —a pleasant prospect for clerks and employe's, who may happen to escape at present the free- trade impost ! Easter week has made everything dull but the Theatres and the Parks. There is not even a scene in the House to enliven us TO THE RIGHT HON. EDWARD CARD WELL, ESQ., M.P. SIR,—In your address to the Electors of Liver pool you quote the followin g figures, as a proof of the beneficial effects of Fr ee Trade : " 1842, the value of the goods we sent abroad was £47,381,000 1851, ditto ditto or more than one-half as much again. The reason is obvious : we had consumed so much more of the com forts that came from abroad, that it was necessary to send out a corresponding increase of our manufactures ; and in order to produce them, labour was employed at home, and wages were paid." Now, why you should fix upon the year 1842, it being the lowest amount from 1838 to 1845—a period of eight years—l am at a loss to know, unless it was the time that Sir R. Peel altered the tariff; and even this is not sufficiently palliative for the selection. However, as you have been pleased to use it for your purpose, you will surely not object to my doing so for mine. Now the difference between 1842 and 1851 is no less than £27,000,000 of an increase—no incon siderable amount, and, were it really from the effects of Free Trade, would at once stamp the wisdom of that policy; but, on reference to the following figures, taken from the same source as your own, I perceive it is not the case : VIZ., BRITISH AND IRISH PRODUCE AND MANUFACTURES EXPORTED FROM THE UNITED KINGDOM 1842.. £47,381,000 1845.. 60,111,000 .. Increase in 3 years, £12,730,000 1851.. 74,250,000 — 6 14,139,000 Thus, I find that about £13,000,000, or one-half of the increase, took place in the last three years of Protection, whilst, under the six years (or double the time) of Free Trade, it is only £14,000,000, or £1,000,000 more ; so that, under Protection, we were increasing in our exports at the rate of about 41 million pounds sterling per annum, whilst under Free Trade it is only about 2+ millions per annum. But let me also refer you to the other side of the question. The imports of grain, meal, and flour (which, I presume, are the comforts you allude to) have increased as follows : Imports of Grain, Flour, &c. 1845. 1851. Increase. Grain cf all kinds.. qrs. 2,099,567 I 8,139,270 6,039,703 Flour and meal.... cwts. 945,864 I 5,367,094 I 4,421,126 NOW, by taking all descriptions of grain at the low average of 255. per qr., and flour at 12s. per cwt. (1851), it will make the above increase of grain, &c., Imported, to come to something like £10,000,000; whilst there has been an increase of only £1,000,000 more of our goods Exported in SIX years of Free Trade, as compared with the progressive increase of the last THREE years of Protection. ! !! Then, where do you find the "corresponding increase in the Exports of our Manufactures ?" Do the above facts show it !! I Where do you find `• that it has caused the labour to be employed at home?" From the Emigration Returns !!! Where do you find wages have been paid ? From this odd million. Why, the Cotton trade alone pro duces above £1,000,000 of articles per week, of which the greater portion is labour ; so that it would be only equivalent to one week's wages in this article alone. You further say, that Free Trade gives wages as well as food to the Englishman, and makes the foreigner pay. Will you please be so kind as to enlighten me a little more upon this point, as I cannot, for the life of me, find out by what means or in what shape the foreigner is paying the wages of our operatives, when he is not taking anything like a CORRESPONDING increase of our manu factures for the grain, flour, and other COMFORTS we are taking from him? JUSTITIA. LIVERPOOL POLICE COURT. YESTERDAY. THEFT FROM A PUBLIC-HOUSE.—James Smith and Henry Reed, two men who, from time to time, have been remanded on the charge of having stolen £36 from the public-house of Mrs. Mary Beckett, of Great Howard street, at the corner of Blackstock-street, were brought up:before the magistrates for further examination. On Fri day week the prisoners were at :the house, and went into the bar, in the till of which the money had been deposited. The key of the drawer was hanging over the fire-place; it was afterwards found in the key-hole of the drawer, and the prisoners had been seen standing near to it. The money had been carried away. The prisoners were com mitted for trial. THEFT BY A SERVANT.—Elizabeth Davies was charged with having stolen a scarf and various other articles from Elizabeth Roe, residing in Islington, with whom she had becn living as domestic servant; and also with stealing various articles of wearing apparel from the house of Elizabeth Price, of Bridport-street, at whose house she had been an occasional visitor. The articles, subsequently to their being stolen, were found pledged at various pawn shops. The prisoner was committed for trial. Coot.—An Irishwoman was sent to goal for two months for stealing two shirts from the shop door of Mr. Jones, of Whitechapel. The prisoner unslung the shirts and oolly walked off with them. ANOTHER ROBBERY FROM A PUBLIC-HOUSE.—Wil liam Allen, James Henry Moore, and Margaret Stett, were charged with having been implicated in a robbery from the public-house of Mrs. Andrew Lee, of Queen Ann-street, on the 25th of March last. The house was entered through a back window by the prisoner Allen. The prisoner Moore was observed to be waiting there, and to receive a cash-box, containing jewellery and half-a crown in silver from his coadjutor. The cash-box, divested of its contents, was afterwards found under the George's Dock bridge. The police traced a quantity of clothing stolen at the same time to an improper house in Westmoreland-street, where the prisoner Stett resided. Here lived a vile girl named Bridget Lennon, and Stet prevailed upon her to take the articles and offer them in pledge at Mr. Barlow's, in Cheshire. She did so ; but Mr. Barlow having previously received a police notice advising him of the robbery, communicated with the police. No clue was obtained until Saturday last, when detectives Sullivan and Wallace got some private infor mation which led to the apprehension of the prisoners. The prisoners were committed for trial. DENSE FOG IN LONDON.—On Saturday morning the metropolis was visited by a dense fog, which lasted until eleven o'clock. Great inconvenience was felt on the river, as large cargoes of foreign and other cattle were arriving for the London markets, and several steamers were considerably delayed. THE DRAPERS' COMPANY OF LONDON has sent the liberal contribution of 100 guineas, besides an annual subscription of £25. to the Irish Church Missionary So ciety ; and a sum of £5O to the Ennis Fishing Society, which has been established for the employment of converts to the Protestant faith. FUND FOR THE SURVIVORS OF THE "BIRKENHEAD." —On Saturday, a special meeting of the Town Council was held at Portsmouth to consider the best means to be taken, in order to raise a fund for the relief of the suffer ers from the loss of the Birkenhead. Upwards of £lOO was raised in the room. An amateur performance is announced by the garrison. THE SOLICITOR-GENERAL, SIR FITZROY KELLY, has returned to London, but is expected to leave town again to-day, (Tuesday,) having been invited to become a can didate for the representation of the eastern division of Suffolk, in the room of Lord Rendlesham, deceased.

MONDAY NIGHT. BUSINESS during the last week was interrupted by the commencement of the holidays; and of Saturday and yesterday it may truly be said that scarcely any business was doing. The approaching elections continue to occupy the attention of our mercantile community; and a further bar to opera tions is caused by the non-arrival of the large fleet of inward-bound vessels, known to be within a day or two's sail of the port, and the cargoes of which are much wanted to assort stocks. Were these temporary hindrances to business got rid of, every circumstance seems to favour a resumption of active business. Money is abundant and low in price ; and the position of the Bank of England, acted upon, as it is likely to he, by the bullion which is coming rapidly to this country from Australia, would, under ordinary circumstances, lead us to anticipate unwarrantable speculatio 1 . Thus far, however, there is no evidence of such a consummation occurring in our produce markets, the present abundance of money being taken advantage of chiefly by the railway and other companies to enable them to pay off loans raised at high rates, and thus lighten the pressure, in the shape of interest, upon their revenues. There has been a falling off in last week's return of specie in the bank, usual at the close of a quarter ; but the stock must shortly be made up again by the recent large arrivals. The return from the Bank of England for the week ending the 3rd of April, gives the following results when compared with the previous week : Public deposits .... .e 7,687,703 ; Decrease ...291,112 Other deposits Rest 3,624,418 ; Increase .... 2,912 On the other side of the account— Govet nment securities. 13,567,593; the same as before. Other securities Notes unemployed The amount of notes in Circulation is £20,687,455, being an increase of £537,210 ; and the stock of bullion in both departments is £19,596,501, show ing a decrease of £219,244, when compared with the preceding return. In our Share Market we have again to notice a more limited amount of business during the week, with prices, until Thursday evening, showing a dis position to decline. Saturday was a close holiday in the provincial markets, (excepting Manchester,) but in London a large business was done, and prices gene rally advanced. To-day our market is very strong, and we have had a very large business at higher rates than during the week. We annex the quotations : Aberdeen, 141 ; Caledonian, 19 1-16th ; Eastern Counties, 91; East Lancashire, 171; Great Western, 801 ' • Lancashire and Yorkshire, 721 I /-c ; Do. fifth, 6'ld; London Stock, 1241 ; Do. new quarters, 51p; Sheffield, pref. shares, 13; Midland Stock, 66 -k 6 ; Do. new pref.

Better qualities are scarce, but buyers hold off far the fresh arrivals. In inferior descriptions—of which what we have received recently chiefly consists—a shade of con cession has been made. The quotations of Thurs day, when the circular was printed, were, New Orleans, 51d. ; Mobile, 51d.; Uplands, 51d. Stocks, 343,630, against 535,940 bales last year. The Corn Market continues inactive; and, where sales have been made, lower prices have been sub mitted to, the stocks on the way contributing to produce this result. _ Trade in the manufacturing districts is partially suspended, owing to the Easter holidays. At Manchester, in one or two cases, considerable orders for Yarns have been given out by continental ship ping houses ; but these cases are quite exception able, the rule being only to supply pressing demands. By magnetic telegraph we learn that to-day the market in that city wore a quiet appearance, with only a limited demand. For Woollen Cloths a slow but steady demand prevails, at Leeds and Huddersfield. Stocks being low, prices are generally supported. LATEST STATE OF THE LIVERPOOL MARKETS COTTON.--The market was closed for the tran saction of business from Thursday evening. On Saturday a few sales were made privately. This morning business opened quietly, and, in the absence of the Niagara's advices, not yet reported, the demand was of the same moderate character which prevailed for some time previous to the holidays. We closed this afternoon with steadiness, but rather tamely. Prices of all kinds are much the same as when the brokers circular was issued. To-day's business sums up 5,500 bales, of which 4,420 were American, at 31d. to 53d; 500 Surat, 3Ed. to 4id.; 300 Egyptian, 61d. to 7d. ; 50 Bahia, 6id. ; 150 Pernam and Maranhan, sid. to 6d.; and 80 Sea Island, 131 d. to 10d. per lb. The import, exclusive of a cargo to-day, since Thursday, is 10,000 bales. WooL.—The business done in our wool market last week was quite of a retail character; but, as there is very little offering, prices are pretty well maintained. SUGAR.—Business has scarcely been resumed since the close of the markets on Thursday, con sequently the transactions unreported since the publication of the Brokers' Circular do not embrice more than 270 hhds. Demerara at 295. Q., and 345. to 355. for Vacuum Pan, per cwt. MOLASSES.—No sales reported, but prices are not lower. Rum.-20 puns. Jamaica, and 40 puns. Deme rara, have found buyers at the current rates. COFFEE.—Very little business doing in this article. A small lot of Middling Jamaica reported at 655. per cwt. TEA.—This market is rather firm, at least there is more inclination to examine samples than during the past four days. RuNr.—At the public sales held on Thursday,.and subsequently by private treaty,.l,ooo bags ordinary Bengal brought 9s. 3d. to 913. 6d. per cwt. SUNDRIES.-290 bags saltpetre are reported at 235. to 235. 6d. for low, and 298. for 61 per cent. refraction. A small lot of pearl sago, at 188. 6d. 25 cases castor oil, at 34- to 4 per lb. 36 tons safron wood, at £9 ss. 6d. to £94105. per ton; and 13,000 bales jute at £9 to £ll per ton. CATTLE.—We have a small supply of beasts,.but a good number of sheep on sale at to-day's market. The numbers offered were-1,580 of the former, and 4,998 of the latter. There was a good attend. ance of buyers, and beef met a brisk demand, so that mostly all on sale was cleared off at an early hoar, and rather better prices were paid. NlUtton was a slow sale, and buyers had the advantage in prices, although few were turned out undisposed of at the close of business.. Present prices are Beef—prime heifer, sd. to 51d • second class ditto and fat bullocks, 41d. to scl. ; half-fat bullocks and old cows, 41d. to 41d. Mutton—prime wedder„ 6'd. to 6/d. and 61d ;-.second class ditto, 51c1. to 6 , (1.; old ewes, 41d.. to 5/d. per lb. sinking the offal. EMIGRATION TO AUSTRALIA.—A splendid ship called the " Fanny" lay moored in the stream yesterday prior to her departure this morning for Port Philip. She•was much admired by the hundreds crossing to the several ferries. She is 950 tons register, snd carries out no less 270 of our countrymen, who, being under the protection of Captain Forrest, will no doubt fare well on the voyage. The " Fanny" was consigned to Messrs. J. S. De -Wolf and Co. MR. HENRT MAYHEW'S LECTURES ON LONDON THIEVES, &c.—Mr. Henry Mayhew, well known to the reading public as the "commissioner" of the Morning Chronicle, has been delivering a course of three lectures in the Theatre Royal, conveying his experiences of the eondition and habits of the vagabond classes of the metro polis, and his impressions as to the efficacy, or rather inefficacy, of the various reformatory systems hitherto attempted. The lectures, particularly the two last, were well attended by highly respectable and interested audi ences. Mr. Mayhew showed the various gradations of crime and street life, beginning generally with want of the means to earn a living honestly, and ending with a preference for the dishonest life. Mr. Mayhew told many humorous and instructive anecdotes of his intercourse with these classes, both in the metropolis, and since his visit to Liverpool. He stated it as one important fact, that the bulk of the juvenile offenders he had ascertained to be orphans or deserted children, and that a mere knowledge of reading and writing imparted to them made them more accomplished in their evil courses. CHARGE AGAINST THE POLICE.—On Tuesday a man, named Wilkinson, in the employ of Messrs. Preston and Co., preferred a charge against two police-officers, 489 and 606, of striking him on the head and breaking his knee cap with their sticks. He stated that, on the previous night Sunday, whilstgoing along Vauxhall-road ,the officers, without any cause, said that he was drunk, took him to bridewell, and frequently struck him with their sticks. he case was adjourned till Wednesday, when Messrs. Lynch and Cripps, two medical gentlemen who attended the defendant, said that the wound on his head had doubt less been caused by a blow with a stick, but the knee-cap had probably been broken by great muscular exertion, and not by any blow. Mr. Mansfield reprimanded the officers, and said that, for the present, he should only sus pend them, till he had further considered the evidence, which was exceedingly contradictory. Officer 489 had iven his evidence in a very straightforward manner, bore very good character, and had evidently been greatly rovoked. As to officer 606, who acknowledged to strik 1g the complainant with his stick, he was much to be lamed, and if, on further consideration, he thought the Induct of either officers warranted the punishment, they hould be dismissed. A Cor HAS BEEN BURNT TO CINDERS at a wake at Belfast. The company got drunk, the candles ignited th@ bedclothes, and the living escaped as best they could, CHURCH OF ENGLAND INSTITUTION. ANNUAL MEETING LAST NIGHT. The second annual meeting of the members of this In stitution was held in the Rooms, 33, Bold-street, last evening. The chair was occupied by HARMOOD BANNER, Esq. ; and we noticed, among others, the following gen tlemen :—Revs. Dr. Hume, G. W. Warr, Wm. Brewster, H. M. Mosse, Messrs. Hubback, Johnson, &c. After prayer, the CHAIRMAN called upon the Hon. Secretary, who read the following her M ger ther 0 men. ;11 an ac prociamatioo ot parliament within four teen days. The militiaof the city of London is to be raised under the Ist George IV. c h ap. 100. The bounties stated are to be paid out of the consolidated fund, REPORT. The Liverpool Church of England Institution having been open for the use of members for the space of two years, the Committee feel much satisfaction in laying before its members the Second Annual Report. The steady progress of the Society for the past twelve months seems to prove very clearly that the Institution is beginning to be more generally appreciated; and that, if carried on as it has been hitherto, it will increase in numbers and influence, and will become the instrument of great good to the young men, for whom, more especi ally, it is designed. During the past year four life-mem bers have been added, viz., Ed. Cropper, T. B. Horsfall, J. Hubback, and GeorgeMarsden, &vs. ; and the increase of ordinary members was such as to render a change of premises desirable : and suitable ones were sought, for several months, but in vain. It was at length decided to alter the present premises, which was done at a cost of £25, which, together with the cost of additional furniture, amounted to upwards of £4O. The change has contributed much to the comfort of members, and has induced many to join. The following is a summary of the working of the va rious departments : Newsroom.—This department has been supplied with a greater number of papers and magazines than during the first year, and there has been a m uc h grea t er a tt en d ance of members, especially since the improvement in the Reading-room by the alterations. Library.—The Committee, anxious to make this de partment as useful as possible, have devoted much atten tion to the subject; and the Library Sub-committee have given much time and consideration to the selection and purchase of books. A sum exceeding £6O has been ex pended, and more than 180 volumes added to the Library. So great, however, has been the demand for books, (up wards of 100 being in constant circulation,) that it is most desirable that every effort should be made to render the Library as efficient as possible. The Library has increased upwards of 200 volumes by purchase and donations, and the number of hooks is now little short of 1,000. Several friends have very kindly sent in repeated contributions. The selection of works for the Library is under the super vision of the Revs. F. Barker, W. Pollock, and D. Barry. Classes.—The Mental Improvement Class has met with great regularity once a week, and the subjects for their study have bean of an improving nature. Of late, on every alternate week, a conversazione for the mem bers generally has been substituted for this class. A course of eight lectures has been arranged, and of these five have been already delivered, and were well attended. The nature of the objects kept in view in these lectures will be seen from the following list of subjects:—"On the Atmosphere ;" " What books should a man read ?" " On the Modern Discoveries at Nineveh ;" " On the Con trivances exhibited in Nature, for the growth and multi plication of Plants ;" " Shells and their Inhabitants ;" " Ragged Schools ;" and "On the Microscope." There are classes also for French and Phonography. Public Lectures. —These have formed an important feature of this Institution since its establishment, and they have been attended with great success. Twenty-one in all have been delivered, seven of which were in the first course, and fourteen during the past year. Of these two wore in the summer of 1851, and the remaining twelve during the past winter.

Rev. Canon M`Noile, D.D. Both courses have been published, and form two very interesting and instructive volumes. They discuss some of the leading fundamental principles of the Church of England, and point out her distinctive excellencies ; they embrace the chief points in which she differs from Rome. The principles of Infidelity, Socialism, and Mormonism, are also ably exposed and refuted. These lectures were attended regularly by a majority of the members, who are admitted free. The public are admitted, and the course this year has realised £6O. The Treasurer's abstract shows a balance in favour of the Institution of £22 17s. 2d., a circumstance highly encouraging, as out of the balance brought forward of last year's account, outstanding bills, amounting to .£36. Bs. 3d., were liquidated ; and the extraordinary expenses, in curred by alterations and furniture, exceeded £4O, and £6O were expended on the library. Such is the present successful position of the Institution; and with such auspices it commences the third year of its existence. The Committee, while thankfully acknow ledging the assistance which they have hitherto received, are of opinion that the past success of the institution, and the benefits which it is the instrument of diffusing, are such as to claim the attention and deserve the support of the influential members of the Church in Liverpool. They would, at the same time, beg to remind the members generally of the duty of laying its claims before their friends, and of inducing many to join who Still stand aloof through ignorance of its objects and advantages. The object is to draw away young men from frivolous , ' pursuits and ensnaring pleasures, by giving them an op— portunity of turning their leisure moments to good ac— count, and by affording them means of self-improvement at asmall expense. If the number of annual members were increased, the News-room could be still better provided with papers ; the Library shelves would be better furnished ; the various. Classes would be conducted with more spirit, and more would be formed;: and the Liverpool Institution would shortly take the position which it ought to hold in refer ence to kindred associations throughout the country. In conclusion, the Committee venture to press upon all the necessity of keeping these objects in view ; and though it may now be the "day of small things", yet they hope, under the Divine blessing, to see the Institution shortly settled on a permanent footing,. and thus enabled con stantly to extend to hundreds of young men the means of being instructed in the sound doctrines and Evangelical principles of the CGUELCII OF ENGLAND. The abstract of the treasurer's account showed that the income of the year was £647 9s. 10- 3 / 4 d. ; expenditure,_ £624 12s. B}d. balance, £22 Ms. 2d. The Rev. G. W. WARR moved "That the report now• read be adopted, printed, and circulated under the direc tion of the committee." The rev. gentleman said the report was full of encouragement ; there was no weak point; there wasen increase of numbers, improved rooms, and large sums appropriated to the library ; and he expressed a hope that the institution would be placed on• a firmer basis-;- so that young men should have an opportunity of mental culture, and thus prepare them selves for intellectual enjoyment in later years ; but to effect this, much study and much self-denial were required. He commended the private lectures as well calculated to carry out the objects of the institution. . Their motto should be "Onward, Forward," and the institution should be made woraly of ;the Church whose name it bears. Mr. HUBBACK, in seconding the resolution, directel attention to that part of the report which spoke of the in crease of members, and hoped that they would eventually reach 1,000, Each member should make it a point to bring one member during the next year. For his own part, as a vice-president, he would bring two. He im pressed upon the members the necessity of keeping in view the fundamental rules, and - asing the institution to carry out that object. __ The Rev. Dr. HUME, in moving the reelection of various officers, expressed himself gratified and surprised at the progress of the society, considering the great difficulties all such institutions had to• encounter. He trusted that as the machinery was now ready, and a sufficient income, the institution would go on prospering and to prosper. Mr. BREWSTER seconded the resolution. Several other motions were moved and carried, con cluding with a vote to the chairman. TEM PASSENGER Acv.—(From a Correspondent.) , ---The gross injustice, practised under colour of this act by the officials at this port, seems likely to cause more serious difficulty to the emigration trade than its framers could ever have contemplated: Instead of wanting a new law for the further protection of emigrants, we really want a law for the protection. of the shipowners, charterers, bro kers, coopers, and provision dealers. A case occurred last week which serves to illustrate our remarks. A gentle man purchased between eighty and ninety watercasks from a respectable cooper, who supplied such as could only be fit for a sea voyage. The government agent was called down to examine them, and he, in the exercise of that plenary "discretion" with which he is invested, condemned the whole ! A deputation of coopers waited on him the next morning, and expostulated. A. second inspection was made, (whether by the same or another officer, we are not informed,) but between 70 and SO of the condemned casks were approved and passed ! And these are the men to whom more extensive powers are to be given, and at whose suit certain enormous fines are to be levied. It seems that there is already considerable difficulty experienced in getting casks, for though there are large quantities of good casks in the coopers' yards, the charterers of ships do not care to take any but new, lest their ships should be delayed, and their funds squandered by such reckless conduct as that instanced above. Mean time, with a view of bringing the matter to a crisis, the coopers are threatening to refuse to supply emigrant ships until some distinct understanding is arrived at as to the course to be pursued with the Government agent. We trust the coopers will adopt no such step as this ; the proper way to bring the government agent to reason, will be to sue him for damages in all such cases as the above. But there is another feature in the matter. The above casks would each measure 185 gallons ; the government agent, though challenged to the fact, refused to pass them for more than 160 gallons, thus compelling the charterer to put in one-tent!: more casks, and pay for one-tenth more water, than the legal requirement ; and this too in April, when the ship will not probably require half the stipulated And this tyranny must be yielded to, or a is refused, and penalties incurred of a ruinous quantity amount, DrEn.—On the 12th instant, Sarah, the beloved wife of John Doming, Esq., Mount Vernon, to the great grief of her family. I A POLICEMAN'S NOTION OF AN ARREST AND AN ADJUDICATION UPON IT. Miss Elizabeth Lough, a respectably-attired young wo man, was charged before Messrs. Smith and W. Rath bone yesterday with having, on the previous day, rescued two persons from police-officer 95 (John Wilson). The prisoner, an exceedingly delicate young woman, who had been " booked" at Bridewell on the charge, but subsequently admitted to bail, displayed great ner vous trepidation in court. The Complainant (the officer) is perhaps one of the most athletic and robust men in the force. He stated that about half-past two o'clock on the previous afternoon he was taking two persons into custody for begging. The prisoner came out of a house, from somewhere behind him, and made several attempts to rescue the persons in custody from his charge. Mr. Smith—" If she came from behind you, how did you know that she came out of a house ?" Officer—" She came from somewhere from behind." Mr. Wybergh (magistrates' clerk)—" In what did the attempt to arrest consist ?" Officer—" She got hold of me by the arm, and asked me if I would please to let them go, as they were poor helpless children. I said I should not; I should take them to bridewell. She made three several attempts, and then dragged one of the prisoners out of my hands, and the other got away. She (the prisoner) was the worse for liquor on the occasion." Mr. Smith—What became of her after this Officer—l le ft her in Bridewell. Mr. Smith—Was she bailed afterwards ? Officer—l don't know that, sir. Mr. Hime, attorney (who appeared for the defendant), said this was so. She was bailed out at six o'clock at night. Mr. Hime (to the officer)—What ages might these pri soners be ? Officer—One six or seven, and the other nine or ten years old. (Some display of feeling was manifested in court on this declaration.) Mr. Hime—Had you hold of these cbildrenby the hands ? Officer.—l had hold of them by the arms. Mr. Hime.—Were you dragging them ? Officer.—No ; I was taking them quietly, but they both jumped round and made a great noise. Mr - . Hime.—Are you sure yoil were not pulling and dragging them ? Officer.—Yes. Mr. Hime.—But they were screaming violently. Officer.—Yes, they were. Mr. Hime.—When the young woman (the prisoner) came up, what did she say ? Officer.—" They are poor children ; let them go." Mr. Hime.—Did she not ask you not to treat them so harshly ? Officer.—l don't recollect that she did. Mr. Hime.—Do you recollect your letting go the children, and saying, " Now, I'll take you !" Officer.—l told her not to interfere, and said, "if you dare to rescue them I will take you." She got hold of one of them (the children), and then I took her. Mr. Hime.—Did you not let go of these children on your own accord ? Offi 7er.—No, sir. Mr. Hime.—Then would you have the magistrates to believe, that a great strong man, like you, could not take charge of two children, in consequence of the interference of a weakly woman like this ? The officer remained silent. Mr. Hime.—You said a young man came to assist you: who is he ? Officer.--I do not know his name, but have seen him before. Mr. Hime.—Did she the prisoner) ask you to allow her to put on her bonnet before you took her to bridewell ? Officer.—Yes. Mr. Hime.—And why did you not allow her to do so ? Officer.—That is not my duty. My duty is to keep a prisoner, when I have one. Mr. Hi me.—You say she was the worse of liquor ? Officer.—Yes. Mr. Hime.—Upon your oath had she tasted liquor, or do you believe that she had been drinking ? Officer—Yes. Mr. Hime—Was she much exhausted Officer—l do not know whether she was exhausted or drunk ' • but I took her for drunk. Mr. Hime—Dld any one apply to you not to use her so severely ? Officer—Yes ; several of the mob did. Mr. Hime—Did you twist her arms ? Officer-1 held her tightly. Serjeant Wright, who received the prisoner at Rosehill bridewell, stated that when brought in she was followed by a tremendous crowd. She was very violent, and would have struck the officer. He considered she was drunk ; and in answer to a question from him as to how she came to rescue the prisoner, she said, " I would not have done it if I had not had some drink." She had had drink, and was far from being sober. In a quarter of an hour after being brought to bridewell she fell asleep. Mr. Hime then addressed the bench on the part of the defendant. He said if his client was drunk,. he had been most grossly misinformed. He would call six or eight witnesses who would depose that a more well-regulated girl did not exist, and amongst them was her master and Mr. George Holden (the musician). Ho must observe that the story bore untruth on the very face of it. It would be monstrous if he could suppose that the magistrates would believe that a man such as the officer could have allowed a fragile creature like the defendant to have rescued from him two• children of tender years. As to' the charge of drunkenness, he would nullify this beyond doubt. Mr. !lime, after some further remarks, proceeded to call a number of respectable wit nesses, including those already named, Mr. J. H. Smith, clothier, of Lord-street, and others, whose evidence placed the character of the accused beyond impeachment. The magistrates intimated that they were quite satisfied on this point : they did not believe that the defendant had been drunk. They thought at the same time that her inter ference with the officer, although perhaps prompted by a degree of humanity, wrong in itself, but excusable to a certain extent, amounted to what was an arrest in law. The duty of a bystander, if an officer did wrong, was to take his number and report his conduct:- but it appeared that the defendant had been carried away by her feelings. As to the charge of drunkenness, they did not believe a word of it. They thought if she had been in the wrong she had been sufileiently punished. Mr. RIME hoped the magistrates would express an opinion as to the officer dragging a respectable woman through the streets to bridewell, without allowing her even to get her bonnet, and to her being kept in bridewell until one o'clock, when bail was offered at four. Mr. Rathbone said the other side also must be a little looked at. People were begging in the streets on a Sun day, and the instructions to the officers were to take them to gaol, otherwise they rendered themselves liable to dis missal. It was no business of the prisoner's to have interfered. Mr. Hime.—With deference, I would submit that if a police officer will swear solemnly that a person was drunk, when there is the most positive proof that she was sober, it is surely a point affecting the veracity of his statements as to other parts of the transaction. Mr. Smith (the magistrate)—l believe that the officer exercised his duty very severely. It is an extremely un fortunate case, and I am satisfitd the officer might have conducted his case much more quietly ; and for all the prisoner has done she has been already sufficiently punished. THE GREAT BRITAIN, STEAMER.—Up to a quarter to six o'clock, a thousand persons, principally strangers, had visited and inspected the splendid steamer Great Britain, which was on view in the Nelson Dock yes terday, and is to be so to-day and to-morrowy at the charge of is. each. The admiration expressed of her ex ternal proportions and her internal arrangements, was most enthusiastic. THE EASTER HOLIDAYS.—Easter came ushered in by sunny skies, smiling countenances, and hilarious spirits. Friday was not only a good but a beautiful day : the azure sky was not marred, but beautified, by the few feathery clouds thatfloated on itasurface. If aboveall was delightful, below all was interesting and animated. Liverpool itself put on its best garb, and thousands of thousands of the inha bitants turned out for- a day's enjoyment. The railways aided to increase the pleasure-seekers. About 2,000 persons were brought' into the town by the excursion trains of the Lancashire and Yorkshire line. The East Lancashire Company conveyed about 1,500 persons from Burnley, Colne, Leeds, Bradford, and the eastern part of this county. Those arriving by the Lancashire and Yorkshire Railway were chiefly residents of Man chester and the neighbourhood. About 1;200 persons left Liverpool on the same morning for Southport ; and, in addition to these numbers, five or six hun dred persons were brought from Manchester by ex cursion trains on. the Manchester and Liverpool line. To attempt to describe the scene in the town, in the suburbs, the landing-stage, the Cheshire shore, and the thousand other places of attraction, would be to do that which has frequently been done before; it is sufficient to say that all was life and joyousness. The arrivals by railway since Friday have not been so great as on former occasions. Yesterday six special trains arrived by the London and North Western Railway, which conveyed about 2,500 persons principally from Manchester, Leeds, Mac clesfield, Stockport, Sheffield, and Birmingham. By the Lancashire and Yorkshire Line there were three special trains, and by the East Lancashire two, bringing jointly the computed number of 500 persons. LONGCHAIS/P.—Yesterday was the third and last day of the promenade of Longchamp. The third day is that on which generally the most display is made, and on the pre sent occasion the usual custom was not departed from; but although the weather was dry, a cold north wind was blowing, which must have deterred numbers of the fair sex from venturing out in spring dresses in open carriages. Notwithstanding this drawback, however, the scene was gay and animating. The number of carriages was very great, and some of the equipages were brilliant. The great advertising houses, and some of the minor establishments, which find their advantage in puffing, did not fail to take advantage of this opportunity of making their existence more generally known. There were vehicles of all kinds profusely decorated and pompously displaying the names of the shops or warehouses to which they belonged. Some of the hired carriages were evidently occupied by modistes, who were displaying the new fashions which have been adopted, or which they are endeavouring to get adopted. The display of yesterday was satisfactory, for it gave evidence of the re-establishment of order and security, and showed that the wealthy inhabitants of Paris are no longer afraid of exhibiting the external signs of fortune, now that the productive classes have been made to comprehend that in proportion as the possession of wealth is manifested by display and expenditure, their own means of existence and comfort are promoted. Four years ago what was yesterday regarded by the productive classes as anexcellent symptom of the revival of trade, and, consequently, as the harbinger of general prosperity, would, under the exciting influence of demagogical chiefs, have been looked upon as an insult by the wealthy to their less fortunate fellow creatures. The President of the Republic honoured the promenade with his presence in an open carriege, as he had done on the two preceding. A SUSPICIOUS CIRCUAISTANCE.—On the evening Thursday last, (says the Sligo Journalj as a gentlen was proceeding from Boyle in an open carriage to Drums: he was met between this town and Ardcarne by th armed men, who ordered the driver to - stop. They then approached the machine, and having ascertained who the occupant was, they gave him permission to proceed, observing that he WAS nat the person they were desirous to meet. ratter, LATEST INTELLIGENCE' MONDAY EVENING, Aran. 12 BY ELECTRIC TELEG . . 15 ' PARIS, SUNDAY.-T T he Moni RANCE r leu g ives a 133 ° 8 t a c rid factory account of the increase of indirect revenue, w or the last two months.
