Beyond about 2,300 sacks of Oatmeal, the arrivals from Ireland since the 15th instant are extremely small; those in coastwise, during that time, consist of a fair quantity of Wheat, a few parcels of Barley, and a large receipt of Malt ; the imports of foreign produce including 8,305 quarters of Wheat from the North and South of Europe, 366 quarters of Pease from the Baltic, and 800 bags of East India Flour. The general character of the trade from Tuesday last until to-day has been firm, with a tolerable demand for most lead ing articles, and an improvement in Wheat of Id. to 2d. per The duty upon foreign Rye is raised for the ensuing week to 18s. 3d., reduced on Pease to 12s. 6d. per quarter, and remains unvaried upon all other Grain. A favourable change in the weather, and a fine genial shower this morning, with a slender attendance of millers at our Corn Exchange to-day, seemed rather to check any fur ther extensive operations in Wheat, which, moving off less freely, the advance above stated was maintained for prime samples of Rostock only, all other descriptions of this grain reverting to the current rates of Tuesday. Of Wheat in Bond. about 700 qrs. of Stettin have been sold at 6s. 4d. per 70 lbs.: and 2000 barrels States Flour at about 235. per barrel, with a cargo of Egyptian Beans to ar rive. at 225. per 480 lbs., which constitute the transactions under lock since Tuesday. Free Flour of all kinds continued in fair request, and be ing scarce, must noted is per sack and is per barrel dearer. ARRIVALS OF CORN, From the 15th to the 17th June, 1841, inclusive DESCRIPTION.

We, however, do not make any alteration in our quo tations for any descriptions of Cotton, which remain exactly as they were on Friday last, though the market exhibits a decidedly more healthy and firm appearance.

On Monday there was some briskness among the dealers, and Company's Congou was worth 2s lid per lb. To-day it is reduced to 2a Old per lb cash, with but a limited business doing even at this decline. On Sugar, and other staples of colonial and foreign produce, there was no particular movement to-day. The merchants connected with the American and Canadian trades are well pleased with the symptoms of improvement that have begun to manifest themselves in these branches of commerce, which, however, are hardly decided enough yet to allow of confident congratulation.

HIS ROYAL HIGHNESS PRINCE ALBERT'S VISIT TO OXFORD UNIVERSI FY - THE COMMEMO RATION. OXFORD, WEDNESDAy.—Yesterday being the day ap pointed for the visit of his Royal Highness Prince Albert, the influx of visitors, both from the metropolis and the adjoining counties, was perhaps the largest wit nesse d s i nce Queen Adelaide visited this city in 1835 ; the Great Western Railway conveying some hundreds of respectably-dressed persons to Steventon. At an early hour the High-street was the scene of unusual bustle, and all th e h ote l s were crowded, so that accommodation was not to be obtained by a great number of strangers who came somewhat late. The Duke of Wellington arrived shortly after nine from Nuneham, and was received with all the enthusiastic marks of respect by a numerous and highly-respectable concourse of spectators. The crowd outside the Angel Inn, where his grace breakfasted, increased until the street was rendered almost impassable, and at intervals rent the air with their deafening cheers: His Royal Highness Prince Albert, accompanied by the Archbishop of York, Earl of Liverpool, and several other noblemen, and attended by Lord George Lennox, Sir Edward Bowater, and Mr. Anson, arrived a few minutes after ten from Nuneham, escorted by the Oxfordshire yeomanry cavaly, under the command of Viscount Nor reys, M.P. The multitude lined both sides of the road from the turn pike on the Henley-road to the Theatre, and hailed the il lustrious prince with repeated applause. On the royal cortege reaching the handsome quadrangle, known to every visitor of Oxford as " The Schools," his Royal Highness was received by the Duke of Wellington, as chancellor ; the Rev. Dr. Wynter, the vice-chancellor ; the Earl of Devon, high steward ; Rev. Dr. Gilbert, and the go vernors and heads of nearly all the colleges and halls ; Sir R. Harry Inglis, Bart., M.P.; Mr. T. G. B. Estcourt, M.P. ; all in their full robes. His Royal Highness Prince Albert, with the Duke of Wel lington, entered the Theatre precisely at half-past ten, fol lowed by the other authorities of the University. The reception of his Royal Highness must have been most gra tifying, the cheering being enthusiastic in the extreme ; the boisterous welcome of the sander-graduates defies descrip tion, their uproarious greetings lasting for some time, and although intended to be complimentary to the prince, were generally of the most discordant nature. The Theatre was crowded. In the area were the masters of arts, and, as on all such occasions, the lower galleries were filled with elegantly dressed ladies, while the upper galleries were occupiedby the bachelors and under-graduates. The noble chancellor, with the noblemen, professors, doc tors, and proctors, sat on the elevated seats appropriated for the high authorities, in the northern or semi-circular part of the Theatre. His royal highness was robed in the state gown of a D. C. L. His royal highness wore the in signia of the order of the Garter, as did also the Dukes of Wellington and Sutherland. There were also present the Archbishop of York, Duke and Duchess of Marlborough, Marquis of Kildare, Earl of Liverpool, Marquis and Marchioness of Londonderry and the Ladies Vane, Earl and Countess of Jersey and Lady Sarah Villiers, Bishop of Oxford and Lady Harriet Bertie, Lord Cranley, Earl of Cawdor, Viscount Emlyn, Bishop of London, Marquis of Granby, M.P. ' • Lord Ward, Dowager Lady Ward, and Hon. Miss Ward ; Lord Prudhoe, Marquis of Blandford, Lady Caroline Hamilton and Miss Hamilton, Earl of Eldon, Lord Churchill, Bishop of Winchester, Lord Loftus, Lord Edwin Hill, Viscount Seaharn and Lord A. Vane, Earl of Devon, Sir Robt. Harry Inglis, Bart., M.P., and a long list of noblemen and members of the House of Commons, with the feminine branches of their respective The interior of the Theatre was particularly striking and splendid. ciThe under-graduates, before the proceedings of the day commenced, made those usual displays of political feeling for which they are so eminently distinguished. " The Queen," " Prince Albert," " The Duke," were received with approbation. The name of " Lord Melbourne and the Whigs was the signal for the most tremendous hissing and hooting, that lasted for several minutes. The noise having at length subsided, the Duke of Wellington presented an address to his Royal Highness, which was graciously accept ed, and elicited a brief but appropriate speech, at the con clusion of which the Prince was greeted with repeated rounds of hearty cheering. Subsequently his Royal Highness vi sited the Town-hall, where his reception was equally marked and gratifying.

FRIDAY MORNING, JUNE 18, 1841 We have no apprehension of losing on the next returns from Ireland, whatever hope we may entertain as to a favourable change being made in the relative proportion of conservative and ministerial members from that country. There are two good men in the arena to oppose Messrs. O'Connell and Hutton for the city of Dublin, namely, Messrs. West and Grogan. In other places conservative candidates have come for ward where we had scarcely expected to find them. Mr. Fox starts for the city of Armagh with every prospect of success. Colonel Bruen will certainly be re-elected for Carlow county, and we are happy to per ceive has now a good Conservative, Thomas Bunbury, Esq., of Moyle, associated with him in the canvass, o f whose return also we have good hope. Mr. F. Bruen is a candidate for Carlow borough, in opposition to a Mr. Layard, a total stranger, whom the O'Connellites have put up for a con-si-der-ation, doubtless, in place of Mr. Gisborne, who retires. But we do not, we acknowledge, expect any very material change in the state of the representation while the registration system continues unamended, and the priestly power is so highly favoured in its operation and opportunities of exercise as it now is. O'Connell is as rampant as ever. His authority has suffered no decline. It is an authority springing out of a system and therefore not so liable to fluctuation as if it rested solely on personal grounds. It is the in fluence of Popery which makes him the dictator of Ireland. He has the sagacity to perceive by what means such power might be obtained, and he possesses a combination of qualifications—a talent—which has enabled him to seize upon them, and use them with effect. O'Connell is the creature of Popery, but Po pery is also the creature of O'Connell. He subserves the interests of the priests and of their religion, and they compliment him in return with a dictatorship, which he finds very profitable. Popery is never at ease but when it is in alliance with absolute tyranny, and its priests ever aim at creating such a power when it is not the constitutional one of the state. More than two-thirds of the representation of Ireland are in the hands of O'Connell and I he- priests, and with this lever we all know what they have been able to do in this country. They have made the present minis try—yes, and they have kept them in power for several years in spite of the people of England. The Popery of Ireland absolutely rules us, not for our good, we may be assured ; no, for Popery hates our religion as a heresy which it would be a mercy to us to root out and destroy, and it dislikes our civil institutions as well. O'Connell is frantic at the thought of his protege ministry being driven from office, and nothing will be wanting on his part, to save them from discomfiture, as well on English as on Irish ground. His mobs here will all be at the command of the foreign hus bandry-men ; the mass-serving priests will be ready to " ride in the whirlwind and direct the storm." In Ire land the death's-head and cross-bones system will be in active exercise; renegades will be denounced and threatened from the chapel altars ; exclusive dealing, murder, and persecution in every form will be unscru pulously brought into play, and it will not be the ty rant's fault if the full complement of ministerial and Popish members be not made up. To show in what spirit he commences his Irish agitation, we shall take one or two passages from his address to the Irish people, dated the sth instant, and read at the "Loyal National Repeal Association" in Dublin on Sunday week : " People of Ireland !—beloved fellow-countrymen !—recol lect who they are that now seek to obtain the dominion of your native land. " Firstly—They are the men who call the religion of the people of Ireland an abject, superstitious, and vile idolatry' —who call the people of Ireland themselves ' brutal sa vages,' and ' a filthy and felonious rabble'—who call the anointed priests of God surpliced ruffians' and a demo naical priesthood.' Every Catholic who supports the Orange faction in the coming struggle adopts all these infamies, be cause they are the shibboleth of the party he supports. Every Catholic who supports that party adopts those names, avows his own turpitude, and should be regarded as the vilest of living knaves. " Thirdly—Recollect Lord Stanley's bill—the scorpion bill—the bill for the annihilation of the franchise in the bands of the people of Ireland—that bill, when it was an nounced, produced a scream of execration from one extreme of Ireland to the other. What liberal, and, above all, what Catholic elector, will support the supporters of that bill? If he be a Catholic, let us see the face of the man, or rather the monster, who prefers Scorpion Stanley to Ireland ! " Seventhly—Remember—l conjure you to remember— that the most earnest desire of the Orange Tory faction is to fill the counties with Orange partisan sheriffs—with Orange packed juries —with oppressive and tyrannical magistrates ; and, above all, to crowd the bench of justice with fiery par tisan assistant-barristers in the county courts, and with bi goted and malignant enemies to Ireland, as judges of the superior courts. " Whatever liberal Protestant, or base and mercenary Catholic, votes at the ensuing elections in support of the Orange Tories, does, in point of fact, vote for the corruption and contamination of justice at its sources and in its course, and seeks to have the waters of bitterness flow through the land, and to bring home to every family the mephitic and disgusting details of the law, administered through the chan nels of partiality, corruption, and bigotry. " Ninthly—Remember—l say again, remember—people of Ireland ! that the materials by which Orange tory faction seek power are virulent hatred to the people of Ireland, and malignant bigotry against their religion. Remember again, that within th e p r e sen t sess ion, short as it has been, there have been near 300 petitions, containing something approaching to one hundred thousand signatures, praying that the miserable grant to Maynooth may be with held, on the alleged ground of tho idolatry of catholic wor ship. Remember also that that there have been many peti tions, many public declarations, many addresses and speeehes of candidates for parliament—all calling for the repeal of the emancipation act, and the re-enactment of the penal laws. Liberal protestants of Ireland—catholics of Ireland—l appeal to you all !—ls there—can there be one man amongst you so base —so profligate —so daringly venal and corrupt —as to vote for a supporter of the scorpion hill —for a supporter of the annihilation of the Irish franchise — for a supporter of the tithe rent-charge—for a supporter of the insulting corporate bill—for a supporter of the degrading attempt upon the Maynooth grant—for a supporter of the repeal of the reform bill—for a supporter of the repeal of the catholic emancipation bill—for a supporter of those who call the Irish ' brutal savages,' and a' filthy felonious rabble '— for a s upporter of those who call y our venerated clergy `sur pliced ruffians,' and a demon priesthood '—for a supporter — i n on e word—of those who call y our sacred religion by the hideous name o f idolatry ? Whoever votes for a tory candidate at the approaching elections votes for one and all of these. A r ouse ye, then ! Men o f I re l and, arouse ! Be stirring--be active—be at your posts. One and all arouse. religion. Your liberties are threatened—your country is in danger— your religion is menaced and insulted. Prepare for the corn ing, contest. Non-electors, form in every parish an election iclub—canvass, beseech, entreat, implore every elector to Can vass them every mdaughters and children, to canvass them. Prepare, non-eleetors ! Prepare, to do his duty to h a is n— co g u e n t t t r h y e , i t r o ‘ c v h iv a e r s it , y t , h t e o ir all, let an universal • electors, and above all, and before sal indem nity to your means, funds to defray the expenses of the laity fund be prepared to protect the electors from the cruel tyranny of landlords or agents. . , The spirit of the entire address is in these passages ; and we ask any man of common sense if it is not plain that the congenial spirit sought to ha evoked is religi ous bigotry ? Liberal . Protestants are occasionally brought in —(as they are always lugged in by Papists)— just as a cover to the design ; but the appeal is really and substantially to the Roman. Catholic population, and is founded on the hatred they bear to Protestants and the love they are supposed to entertain for their own religion. He begins by describing the Con servative party, the Protestants, the Sassenachs—i. e. the Saxons—as their villifiers and traducers—men who call the " anointed priests of God surpliced ruffians," &c.; and he assures them that " every Catholic who supports that party should be regarded as the vilest of living knaves." All is in the same strain. We call attention to this not as to a thing to be at all wondered at, but as to a mere matter of fact. There was a mi serable delusion afloat when Catholic emancipation was the living folly of the day, that if the Papists were put on an equality with Protestants, we should hear no more of religious distinctions—that the Papists would merge their religion in good citizenship, and become so mixed up with Protestants as-to be unknown any more as a religious denomination. The argument we have heard a thousand times ; but how has the reality cor responded with the theory ? It shows a result just the very opposite of what was _expected ; and the spirit of " the sect" was never in greater force than from the moment the long-sought for boon was obtained. To our mind it appears to be quite a natural consequence. What was Catholic emancipation, as O'Connell has frequently said, without the fruits—eligibility without actual election ? And to obtain these fruits, what pro cess more likely to be effectual than for the Romanist party to stick together and act together as one man— to avail themselves of religion as the cement of their union, and, as " a sect," to strive for 411 the advantages placed within their reach ? Such has been the pro cess, and such it continues; and such, we venture to say, it ever will be, under the same or similar circum , stances. It is the spirit and the ascendancy of the sect which give to O'Connell and the priests more than two-thirds of the representation of Ireland, by which they govern the empire. Popery is their strength, as it is the source of our weakness. But what is to be done ? it is asked. We cannot root it out. True ; but assuredly we may abstain from pampering, strengthening, and encoura ging it, as the Whigs have done, and as, by the wretched compact to which they pledged them selves, they were obliged to do. Mark then, electors of Liverpool and of England, what you are called upon to do at this great crisis ; it is neither more nor less than to shake off the incubus of Popery ; for that is the hag that oppresses—the night-mare that rides you. Get rid of the Whigs, and you will get rid of the incubus along with them. Let us have a Conser vative government, and the Popish alliance is instantly dissolved. A Conservative government will rule, it is to be expected, in the spirit of the constitution, and govern Ireland, as it ought to be governed, in a Pro testant spirit; and although priests and demagogues may rave, be assured of it the people—the great mass of the population--will thank you cordially, and, we doubt not, will avail themselves largely of that op portunity whence alone they can ever hope to attain a real equality with Englishmen in whatever is most es sential to national prosperity or domestic 'happiness. "We have seen that the knight, in his address, makes no mention of those unfortunate, condemned crimi nals, her majesty's ministers—and, in this respect, if he was neither manly nor straight forward, he was certainly prudent. It looks well for the people's cause that the partizans of the condemned are ashamed to avow their connection with them. We may trace the connection in this case, however, by the tertium quid in which we find the parties agreeing. There is an avowal of the idem velle, idem ?toile, and we may very safely conclude, that where there is so much sympathy —so much congeniality of sentiment, ties more tender exist; although, for the present, like unhappy lovers, they must disguise their mutual attachment. Seldom is it the luck of politics, any more than it is the course of true love, to run smooth, and it does happen in both cases to be better for the adventurers, sometimes, to seem, as in this instance, not to know each other. But we have before us ample materials for making out an identification, although the express declaration be wanting. Indeed, the marks of ministerialism are so plainly to be traced in the knight's address, that they indicate the fact to our mind as conclusively as if the worthy candidate for our suffrages had said, "The condemned of the House of Commons for ever !—I pledge myself to support them." His principles are, first, a total repeal of the corn laws. To vote for a fixed duty would cost him rather an exercise of self-denial; he is a whole-hog mer chant—a teetotal anti-home-grown. This is not set forth in the address, it is true, because this was an instrument intended for the general—amongst whom there happen to be not a few who would be vastly more offended than pleased with free trading of this sort, and to this extent ; but it is the fact nevertheless. The requisite paraphrase of Sir Joshua's general de claration in favour of " free trade" was furnished to a meeting of his supporters on Monday evening. He then unfolded his views in the following terms : " I have been accused of not having alluded, in my address, to a free trade in corn. Gentlemen, I have alluded to free trade as far as it can be carried out in every thing. (Cheers.) I believe monopolies to be as unjust as they are unequal in their operation. I believe them to be unsanctioned by any law, moral or divine, and I believe further, that they have not answered even the selfish ends of their promoters. (Enthu siasec plaudits.) The principles of free trade are no longer theories, thanks be to the immortal Huskisson. He proved to demonstration the justice and the wisdom of the princi ples ; he showed us, that the nearer we approach to unre stricted commerce, the greater would be the developement of the energies of our country. (Hear.) Those tests which he introduced, or rather, those measures which he intro duced as tests of his system, are landmarks for the guidance of future statesmen and legislators. They stand in bold relief as proofs of what can be accomplished by British skill and industry, when freed from the trammels of monopoly and from injudicious restraints." (Applause.) _ _ Mr. Huskisson is a great authority; but, under the name of Mr. Huskisson, doctrines must not be broach ed, nor principles sanctioned, to which there is every reason to believe, that Mr. Huskisson, were he now alive, would give no sanction whatever. Mr. Huskis son never propounded any thing cto unwise, and so unpatriotic, as the withdrawal of all protection from British agriculture ; on the contrary, he was himself the author of that very sliding scale which Sir Joshua Walmsley and his friends now so joculary and respect fully denominate the "infernal machine." Mr. Hus kisson held the theoretical principle of free trade as Sir Robert Peel holds it, as Lord Sandon holds it, and as almost all conservatives hold it along with them ; and in the application of it in some instances, but not in all, it is generally allowed that he was successful. Sir Joshua Walmsley alluded to the favourable effects which followed the reduction of duties on foreign silk and wool, and arg :ed from the results which attended Mr. Huskisson's policy with respect to these articles, that, therefore, a wholesale, undiscriminating excision of all protective, duties, ,of _whatever kind, must be succeeded by like consequences ! Such a mode of reasoning, we can assure him, is any thing but in the spirit of that system of induction on which Mr. Hus kisson usually acted. With regard, however, even to Mr. Huskisson's free trade policy, the knight should be informed—exCeptions, and those of no light kind, have been taken, and supported by an array of facts impossible to gainsay. We cannot enter here into a dissertation on the Reciprocity System, as it was called, and the consequences which have resulted from it; but we refer, with pleasure, to the second volume of Mr. Alison's admirable work on the Prin c ipl es o f Population for a very full and lucid investigation of the subject. That able writer shows, that under the navigation law system, that is, the old protective system, the British shipping in Europe increased, in twenty years, from 18,000 to 21,000 ships; that is , by a sixth; and that under the reciprocity, or free trade system, the British ships declined, in twelve years, from 21,042 to 20,388, being nearly a tenth. The loss thus experienced by the reciprocity, or free trade system, in Europ e , h as been counterbalanced by the extraordinary growth in our colonial trade, during the same period, (viz., from 1825 to 1836,) to which the reciprocity system did not apply, as it was exclusively reserved, on the p r i nc i p l e of the navigation laws to ourselves, the vessels engaged in that trade having increased, during these twelve years only, from 4,375 to 6,600, and their tonnage from 800,313 to 1,351,017. Thus it is seen how, a m id st the constant complaints cf the shipowners, that their interests wero declining and. almost destroyed, the President of the Board of Trade was always able to meet them with parliamentary returns, which showed that the trade and shipping of the empire, taken as a whole, was on the increase. " They constantly affirm ed," says Mr. Alison, " and with justice, that our exports were increasing, and our tonnage getting larger every year ; but they did not tell us, what was never theless the case, that the countries with which our trade was increasing were our own colonies, or distant states, with which we have no reciprocity treaties, and that the countries with which it was diminishing or reced ing in comparison with the foreign tonnage with us, were the European nations in our neighbourhood with which we had concluded reciprocity treaties, and to propitiate whose rulers we have been content to sacri fice three-fourths of our shipping employed in the Baltic trade." Mr. Alison's conclusion, both from the parliamentary returns and the admissions of the most able and well-informed advocates of the reciprocity system, is, "that the anticipated and promised exten sion of our foreign trade, from the adoption of that system, has not taken place ; that, so far from it, our trade has rapidly and signally declined, during the last five-and-twenty years, with the old states of Europe, fifteen of which have been spent under the reciprocity system ; and, therefore, that we have gratuitously inflicted a severe wound upon our maritime interests, without having purchased thereby any equivalent advantage, either for our foreign trade or our home manufactures." So much for free trade, when acted upon indiscri minately. It is a good thing in itself, but its princi ples can be practically applied only by a most prudent and careful hand. As to such lumpers, as the knight and his companions, may . a merciful Providence protect us from their management ! No interest would be safe in such hands. Of Sir Joshua's other "prin ciples" something further will be found in another place. This town was disturbed on different occasions, last week, by riots, occasioned by the Anti-Corn-Law party collecting mobs in the open air, to receive instruction on free trade and the art of gaining elections, from the hired agents of the Manchester Directory. Those honest Conservative men, the ship-carpenters, have been most unjustly charged with being the disturbers in these instances; but, as it is admitted that the Anti- Corn-Law spouters are they who collected the mobs in St. James's-place and Clayton-square, they are the party, in our mind, who should be held responsible for all the consequences. Their meetings are a perfect nuisance under any circumstances, and ought to he put a stop to ; but when they serve as a direct provocation to disturbance, as they obviously and naturally do, there is the more need for the authorities to interfere and lay them tinder restraint. Papists and Protestants somehow• get involved in these melees, and then break ing of windows or heads is sure to follow. The fol lowing placard w 25 posted on the walls on Saturday : " FELLOW CATIIOLICII,—On Wednesday evening last a body or our fellow-townsmen made an unprovoked attack upon St. Patrick's Church. We are happy to inform you that the damage we sustained is only trifling. The attack on your church, which every good man must pronounce disgraceful to the parties concerned in it, has naturally excited your inagnation—and we regret (?) to find you have for the moment, been led to acts of retaliation. We implore, we beg of you, as fellow-Catholics, not to dis grace your religion by seeking revenge. We have every confidence that the authorities of the town are ready and able to protect you and your pastors from insult and injury. " G. GIBSON. " W. PARKER. "11. GRAYSTOW. " St. Patrick's Chapel, Friday night." What a very fine piece of cant and fudge ! The poor, innocent, harmless, inoffensive " Catholics !" Why, these innocent babes (O'Connell's mob) actually broke twice the number of panes in St. Thomas's Church and at Mr. Unsworth's,. in Greenland-street, of those which were broken in St. Patrick's Chapel, or the school -house rather attached to it—an amount of damage which the priests themselves here allow to be only trifling. The " authorities of the town will protect them from insult and injury." We hope so ; but we hope that the authorities of the town will also protect the Protestants and Conservatives from those meek, submissive lambs that belong to the pasturage of St. Patrick's Chapel, and who are under the care of those gentle shepherds, Fathers Gibson, Parker, and Grayston. There will be far more need, we apprehend, of their interposition in the one case than in the other. By the by, this hypocritical, whining placard is by no means in harmony with the little circular signed by the great officers of the Anti-Corn-Law Association, which earnestly calls upon the league party to be quiet—and more than insinuates that the fault has not been all on the side of the Protestants as the priests would have it supposed. Let them settle this discrepancy among them, however. Sir Joshua Waimsley, speaking of his canvass, says —and he must have felt a proper pride in saying it— " I did not meet with a single Tory, though advoca " ting as opposite principles to those which I hold as can be, who did not receive me with kindness, with " good - feeling, and who, while he regretted that he " could not vote for me as a politician, did not say that " he respected and esteemed me as a man. (Applause.)" This is a very high testimonial to his private character, and we wish he had been content to enjoy that envia ble station as a merchant, a citizen, and a private gen tleman, to which there is abundance of proof that he has attained. He seems to have himself a full con sciousness of its advantages, and instead of charging him with egotism or vanity for recurring so often to the theme, we think the more highly of him for so doing. The disagreeable part of our duty consists in contrasting him as an active and estimable citizen with himself as an aspirant to high political distinction. We rejoice that, even amidst the violent contentions of public life, private character is held forth as some thing entitled to consideration; and that, from the appreciation which it meets with, there is reason to suppose that, were all other things equal, in political contests, it would most likely turn the scale. It is a supposition favourable to the prevalence of a strong moral sentiment among the people ; and so long as we have sufficient warrant for entertaining it with regard to the constituency generally, we shall never despair of our country. But excellence of private character does not, in itself, qualify a man for political functions; indeed, it may well happen that the man who is most sedulous in the discharge of all his obligations as a private citi zen, is, on that very account, the most unfit to under take the duties of a legislator, or senator. A totally different sort of training is required for the functions of the latter. His early studies should have been inter sylvas academi, not among the ledgers of the counting house, or on the flags of the Exchange—in the solitude of the closet, in converse with the learned, or in foreign travel, and not in the hustle of crowds, among the mere details of trade, and in petty contentions which excite the feelings without improving the understand ing, or correcting ,the judgment. Sir Joshua Walms ley is just an instance that , it is quite possible, for the same individual to be a respectable private citizen, and a desperately bad thinker for the public. To the one he has served his apprenticeship, and is, as it were, " to the manner born" ; to the other he has not been educated, and it is not therefore surprising that the first declaration of political opinions with which, as one ambitious of great distinctions, he favours the world, should be one uninterrupted series of blunders, mistakes, and vital errors. Here he has gone beyond his depth without having learned to swim, and the consequence is, that unless some friendly hand be stretched out to draw him into shallow water, he is in imminent danger of going to the bottom. What would be thought of the intellect of the peo ple of Liverpool, if, with all the regard possible for a worthy townsman, they should send him into the senate to advocate such preposterous, unconstitutional, and anarchial doctrines, as, with all the gravity and, we doubt not, sincerity in the world, our knight, in his simplicity, propounds for their good.? He de clares that he is " firmly attached to the Church of England " ; so firmly, that he would destroy all the Church's defences, and put all manner of Dissent and Church-of-Englandism on the same level—for the good of the Church, no doubt, as the regicides in the (lays of the First Charles fought against the King ! Now, if this be the way a " firm " Churchman shews his love for the Church, may we ask how a fierce enemy 'should manifest his hatred? The love may be great; but certainly it has thus an ugly and suspicious way of spewing itself. " Firmly attached to the Church of England"! Whom does he select as his right hand man in soliciting the suffrages of the elec tors? One of the . most virulent Papists of the town— an Irish demagogue, whose whole time and energies are devoted to destroy all the bulwarks of Protestant ism, and who, pitchforked into the Council as an Al derman against the wishes of the people, insults us by offering every species of contumely and reproach upon our liberties as citizens, and our local privileges and rights as inhabitants of an old and constitutional bo rough. Again, from a firmly-attached Churchman, we should expect a preference for a sound, religious, Church-Education; but not so our aspirant citizen senator; he shows attachment to his religious princi ples by favouring a system of education which dis cards them, and treats all religions opinion with in difference. As liberal in religion as he is in trade, he would teach and encourage all systems alike, lest he should be suspected of upholding monopoly ; and, as liberal in trade as he is in religion, he would destroy the merchandise of the British agriculturist, and trans fer it to the foreigner, for a similar reason. This may be Liberalism, but it is an inconsistent sort of con duct, in our apprehension, entirely at war with com mon sense. Some people may call it having an en larged mind, cosmopolitanism, or whatever else they please ; but we avow that it is neither rational philo sophy nor good patriotism, in our judgment. But lastly, our knightly candidate for the House of Commons, says, "I hold that enfranchisement should " steadily keep pace with increasing intelligence, and "that the independence of the voter should be, as far "as possible, secured." This is delicately said, but the meaning of it is, in plain terms, that he is for vote by ballot and a suffrage of so undefined'an extent that, for shortness, we may as well call it universal. Now Sir Joshua may be a respectable merchant, and an excellent private character—and as such entitled to esteem -L-but as a statesman and a senator, we avow that he is nothing more than a ; tinker, and a botch— and that as such it would be as much against our in terest as against our conscience to employ him. LOCAL NEWS 131,un COAT HOSPITAL.—On Sunday morning last, after an excellent and most affecting sermon from the Rev. Hugh M'Neile, the handsome sum of £67 ss. 9d. was collected for this admirable institution. CALIGRAPRY.—Mr. Thompson continues to take pupils for instruction in writing. Great success at all times is the res , llt of his tuition, when application follows up his advice and direction. The most wretched scrawler can be con verted into a handy pen man in a very short time, if placed ander Mr. Thompson's care. WANTED.—An assortment of Radical Candidates for the various manufacturing towns in this neighbourhood, at the coming election. It has been suggested that Lancaster Castle and the various County Lunatic Asylums would furnish some very well-qualified candidates of enlarged minds, al though confined bodies. The chief requisites are—unblush ing impudence,—(coming up to the Walmsley mark,)—pow erful lungs—squeezable principles—or none at all, which will do quite as well. Ignorance need be no barrier, as the mea sures to advocate are only cheap bread—cheap sugar—no taxes—no rent—no education—no church—no religion—but not a word about cheap labour.—Apply to Messrs. Black-is white and Co., -Radical Association,. Corruption-court, Bribery-street. REWARD OF HUMANITY.—We have mentioned the in tention of the British Government to present gold medals to the captains of four New York packet-ships, in recognition of their humanity in saving the crews of four shipwrecked British vessels. A superb telescope has also been presented to the first officer of one, bearing this inscription :—" Royal Testimonial. Presented on behalf of Queen Victoria, by James Buchanan, Esq., her Majesty's Consul at New York, to James Neish, an officer of the packet-ship Columbus, T. B. Cropper, Esq., Commander, for his humane exertions in aiding the saving of twenty-nine men and boys from the Bri tish ship Leonidas, of Belfast, upon the 25th day of Novem ber, 1840." A MAN KILLED BY A BLOW.—An inquest was held be fore Mr. Chapman, the bdrough coroner, on Wednesday l as t, on the body of J ohn M'Donald, a labourer, lately living at No. 27, Oldham-road, who was killed by a blow he received in a spirit vault. A man named Wm. Swift, a green grocer, residing in St. George's-road, was in custody, charged with having caused the death of the deceased. - John Crichton, land surveyor, of Water-street, stated, that about three o'clock the preceding afternoon, he was in the vault of the George the Fourth public-house, in Smithfield Market, and heard deceased ask a person who was in, to treat him with a glass. The person replied, he would rather treat him with a glass tof arsenic Some words ensued, and the person threw a glass of wine into deceased's face. The waiter and the pri soner then turned the deceased out of the vault. Witness followed, and observed deceased taking off his coat on the step. About a minute afterwards, deceased went into the vault again, and used some provoking words to the prisoner, who struck the deceased on the back of the head, about two inches from the ear. The deceased fell with his head upon the counter, and then, in a sitting posture, upon the floor. His lips shortly beginning to look blue, the prisoner and another person went for a surgeon, who, on his arrival, found him dead. After the examination of the surgeon, the jury returned a verdict of " Manslaughter," against the prisoner. William Swift was committed, under the coroner's warrant, to Kirkdale, to take his trial at the ensuing assizes. The deceased, who was 46 years of age, has left a widow and five children.—Manchester Guardian. On Sunday, Mr. Cheetham, the parish curate of St. Nicho las's Church, gave notice that, Sunday next, the 20th June, being the anniversary of the accession of Victoria to the throne of these realms, the regular service as appointed in the rubric would be read. It is very desirable to notice this fact ; it is worthy of imitation every where, and is well cal culated to stir up that feeling of loyalty which at one time prevailed in this town, and the example we are glad to find set forth in one of onr parish churches. Genuine attach ment to the church and true loyalty to the throne are insepa rably connected. If the church will pay proper respect to royalty, royalty will support the church ; and surrounded as we are at this particular period by every description of dis sent, it is the more advisable to afford to the friends and supporters of constitutional principles in " church and state" an opportunity of praying, round the altar of our God, for his support and protection, so as to obtain the blessings we require for ourselves as a nation, or for the sovereign as a ruler. We may add, that the aspect of the times is such as to call for the fervent prayers of all who take a deep, in terest in the welfare of the country ; and also that, besides this consideration in thus performing their bounden duty (for they are bound to use this service by their oath of al legiance to the Sovereign), the clergy will only be acting in the very spirit of the devout sentiment expressed by her Ma jesty, in her speech to the Houses of Parliament on the 26th of January last, when her Majesty said as follows .—" I humbly implore Divine Providence that all )our counsels may be so directed as to advance the great interests of mo rality and religion ; to preserve peace ;. and to promote, by enlightened legislation, the welfare and happiness of all classes of my subjects." MANSLAUGHTER--It will be remembered, that, some time ago, a man, named Frederick Smith, who has an office in Union-street, was brought before Mr. Rushton, charged with having pushed Catherine Brennan, an aged female. down his steps, and broken her leg. The offence was dis tinctly sworn to by several witnesses, but the prisoner called other witnesses, who contradicted the other witnesses who appeared in support of the complaint. Mr. Rushton held the prisoner to bail to appear to answer an indictment for the offence at the quarter sessions. The case was tried before the recorder at the last sessions held for the borough, when the witnesses for the prisoner prevailed, and he was acquitted. Since that time the old woman, Mrs. Brennan, has died of the injury, and an inquiry has been for some days pending befoye the coroner. ,The evidence called was similar to that brought forward at the examination before Mr. Rushton. The investigation terminated on Tuesday, when the jury, after a long deliberation, returned a verdict of manslaughter against Frederick Smith, who was committed on the coroner's warrant to take his trial at the next assizes. ST. THOMAS'S CHURCH, LYDIATA.--Arnongst the HO merous churches in this town and neighbourhood, which have been consecrated by the bishop during his recent visit, we ought not to omit to mention that of St. Thomas, Lydi ate, in the parish of Halsall, one of the most extensive in this county, and in which additional accommodation has been so long wanted, there being no interm e di a t e pl ace o f wors hip (b e l on ging to the established church) between Maghull and Halsall, a distance of six miles. The new church to which the patron of the living, R. B. B. H. Blundell, Esq., has contributed the munificent sum of £l,OOO, has been built at Lydiate-cross, which is nearly equi-distant between the two, and affords ample accommodation for the numerous in habitants of Down-Holland, Haskane, and Lydiate, many of whom, owing to the great distance, were previously pre cluded from attending divine worship. The church is a plain handsome edifice, with a substantial tower, built of free-stone, and capable of accommo d a ti ng fi ve hundred per sons, two hundred sittings being free. It was built by Messrs. S. Holme and Co., of this town, to whose libe rality the inhabitants are indebted for many conveniences and improvements beyond what were stipulated for in the contract. Service has been performed in the church by li cense for some weeks, and we understand that all the pews have been let, and applications made for more than could be appropriated. A great number of the neighbouring clergy, gentry, and inhabitants, were present at the consecration, and after a sermon by the bishop, and a collection amounting to £22, a large party adjourned to a splendid collation at the• residence of It. B. Smith, Esq., of Pygon's-hill, to whose indefatigable zeal in obtaining subscriptions, and activity in superintending the building, much of the success of the undertaking has been owing. MURDER.—An inquisition was taken on Tuesday, before Philip Finch Curry, Esq., and a respectable jury, for the purpose of investigating the circumstances which led to the death of William Crumnser, aged 30, late of this borough. The deceased resided with his wife, Bridget Crummer, in Christian-court, Preston-street, where they kept a brothel. On Saturday night, about ten o'clock, James White (who was in custody before the coroner) went into the house of the deceased with a female, with whom lie adjourned into an upper room. They were in the room some time, when a cry of " murder" was heard. Mrs. Crummer went up stairs, and desired the prisoner to come away. The woman within was heard to exclaim, " I will return you your sixpence, if you will let me go." The prisoner descended the stairs, and went to the kitchen, where the deceased was stripped, and was just about to step into bed. The prisoner made an at tempt to strike Mrs. Crammer, when the deceased exclaimed, "Itis no manly act to strike a woman." The prisoner said, " 11l either strike her or you." The deceased said, "My good man, go about your business, no one here wants any conversation with you." Upon this, the prisoner stuck the deceased. The deceased pushed him, according to the evi dence of the woman ; (according to the dtposition of the de ceased himself, he struck him.) The prisoner retired for a moment or two, when he returned, and was seen to draw something from his pocket ; he made a blow or push at the deceased, and a frightful wound was immediately visible in the stomach of the latter. The prisoner had, in fact, ripped open the belly of the deceased, whose bowels immediately fell out. The prisoner ran off, and was pursued by Mrs. Crummer, calling " murder." She caught him by the skirts of his coat and held him till he was stopped by police-officer Gristenthwaite, who held him in custody. Mr. Cripps, a surgeon, was sent for, and he, assisted by Mr. Callon, s ewed up the wound. Mr. Cripps described the woun d as f great extent, and of a semicircular form. The cut was a clean one, and had evidently been made with a sharp instrument. The Bridewell-keeper deposed, that when he informed the pri soner on the following day that Crummer was dead, lie ex claimed, " then lam an unfortunate man." Crummer died at five •o'clock on Sunday afternoon, there having been no hope of his recovery from the first. The jury returned a verdict of wilful murder against James White. SERIOUS CASE OF EMBEZZLEMENT BY WEAVERS.—Se veraI weeks ago, the Mayor of Manchester received a letter from the Mayor of Cork, stating that a large quantity of embezzled cotton yarn of various colours and numbers was every week brought from Manchester into that city by par ties residing there, and that there were persons in Manches ter who bought these yarns of the weavers, and had regular arrangements for its transmission to Cork. The letter also contained the names of the parties who purchased the yarn from the weavers. This letter was handed to the police, who brought up three men of the names of Rividan, Byrne, and Coakley, at the Borough Court on Saturday week. In the house of each were found a large quantity of twist, some ginghams and chamberies, in all a good cart load full, which was seized and taken away. After several adjournments of the case, the defendants were each convicted in the penalty of £2o.—Manchester Guardian. BOROUGH OF CLITHEROE.—On Friday last, a demou stration in favour of the good cause took place at Clitheroe, from which we augur the happiest results. On that day Mr. Cardwell arrived in the borough, and without delay pro ceeded to canvass those whom we feel ourselves justified in calling his future constituents. In the evening of the same day Mr. Cardwell addressed a numerous and most respecta ble body of his supporters from the Rose and Crown Inn, who received him in the most gratifying manner. The meeting was afterwards addressed by Mr. Forsyth (a son of Thomas Forsyth, of this town), in the most eloquent terms. The scene from the balcony of the Rose and Crown on Fri day evening was enough to give the coup de grace to the radical party, and renders certain the return of a conservative member. It is almost unnecessary to say that Mr. Cardwell is connected with this town. Messrs. Joseph Wagstaff Barlow, and Samuel Bradshaw Stewart (son of the Rev. William Stewart, of Ilale), were, on Wednesday, the 9th instant, elected Scholars of Brasenose College, Oxford, on the foundation of Sarah, Duchess of Somerset. ARTFUL CONTRIVANCE.—The following cunning circular has been forwarded to many highly respectable gentlemen of conservative principles :—" Colonel Williams, on behalf of the gentlemen who are conducting the preliminary arrange ments for Sir Joshua Walmsley'6 election, requests the favour of your allowing your name to be added to the list of the central election committee. Should you be unwilling to accept the office, Colonel Williams will be obliged by an early answer, as silence will be construed into assent. " Committee-rooms, Clvyton-square, June 10th, 1841." _ . The deception endeavoured to be practised by this note is apparent from its concluding words. More than one-half of the parties to whom it is addressed will, on reading the first few words, instantly commit it to the flames, or at once for get it, and thus the object of the concocters will be gained. No answer will be returned, and the names of some of the first gentlemen of the town will thus be blazoned forth as members of Sir Joshua Waltrisley's committee (albeit of well known constitutional principles), simply because they have not deigned to reply to au impudent and nonsensical request. GLOUCESTER.-STREET CHAPEL.—We have recently had frequent occasion to notice the increase of church accommo dation for the inhabitants of this town, through the erection of new valuable buildings for that purpose, and we have now equal gratification in announcing that the chapel in Glou cester-street, which was lately advertised in the STANDARD, for public sale, has been purchased for the purpose of being placed within the pale of the established church. The inha bitants of the neighbourhood are very numerous, and the district is a fine Meld for the exercise of the talents and ener gies of a zealous clergyman. The building will contain from 600 to 800 persons. CHARACTER OF A TRUE CONSERVATIVE.—The true Conservative is faithful to God and his country. He regards the institutions of his country as designed, not for the ag grandizement of a party, but for the protection and benefit of all; he exults in the blessings they have secured for their native land, and guards them as a sacred trust for posterity. He condemns experimental legislation, which risks substan tial blessings for shadows. He refuses to exchange practical systems for untried theories. He knows his rights as a mem ber of a free state, and firmly maintains them. He knows his duty as a subject, and performs it cheerfully. He regards the poor and the helpless, not as burdens upon the land, who have scarcely the right to live, except as they minister to the pride and convenience of the rich, but as a sacred charge, to be protected and cherished. He has no ideas of politics apart from morals ; of morals not founded on religion ; of religion not derived irom Revelation. Conservative principles, in short, comprehend every duty to our neighbour, our country. and our all with reference to God, as o ur su p reme Ruler and Judge. BOTANIC GARDENS.—An advertisement, in another co lumn, announces, that during the anticipated meeting of the Royal Agricultural Society in this town, in the ensuing month, a grand exhibition will be held in the Botanic Gar dens, under the most distinguished patronage. The com mittee deserve the highest credit for their endeavours to pro mote the science of horticulture and botany. The gardens are in the highest state of cultivation, and we are glad to hear are visited by a considerable number of persons. There is still a large debt hanging upon the committee, but we hope it will be materially diminished by this exhibition, which has been specially designed with this intention. ZOOLOGICAL GARDENS.—A gala will take place at these gardens this evening. If the weather prove fine, it will no doubt be numerously and fashionably attended. LECTURES AT ALL SAIyTS' CHURCH.—It will be per ceived, on reference to our advertising columns, that the respected minister of All Saints' intends delivering a series of seven lectures on the Cherubim of Glory, commencing on Tuesday evening next, and continuing the same on each succeeding Tuesday to the close of the series. The following trait, in the conduct of Mr. Tollemache, of Tilston Lodge, Tarporley, (one of the candidates for Che shire,) deserves mention at this juncture. There was a lo cality in the island of Antigua, on which our Wesleyan friends were very desirous to erect a school ; but the agent refused either to treat for the site, or to disclose the name of the proprietor. By mere accident, Mr. Frazer, when visiting this country, discovered that it belonged to Mr. Tollemache, to whom he was introduced by that gentleman's brother-in law, and who not only, in the handsomest manner, presented to the society the requisite quantity of land, but also gave a subscription towards the school-house, and in other respects afforded his countenance and encouragement to the under taking. EMIGRATION TO AUSTRALIA.—A new publication, de voted to Australia, is about making its appearance. From the prospectus we find that it will `• offer an impartial record of all intelligence received, either through the colonial papers or from private sources, accompanied by statistical details in a form which will admit of easy reference and comparison; a digest of official acts and documents relating to the colony, and a faithful view of its position and prospects, as exhibited in the correspondence of honest and well-informed settlers of ail classes. The plan will further include a series of origi nal articles on subjects of general interest connected with the colony of South Australia, which will be discussed in an open and candid spirit—free from that tone of rivalry which has too often disgraced the pages of many sections of the colonial press." It is to be called the Australian News—the price three-halfpence—cheap enough in all conscience. This pub lication ought to circulate freely amongst the agricultural and manufacturing districts. It will be very useful to those who intend emigrating. Now that we are on this subject we may observe, that we have seen letters from a family who have emigrated to Port Adelaide, which state that it is " a land flowing with milk and honey," and wishes are expressed that their friends would join them. THE PROROGATION.—AImost every journal ventures a guess at the day when parliament will be prorogued. The Britannia says—" Either on Thursday or Friday next, and as the dissolution will immediately succeed, and the govern ment is pledged to lose no time in assembling the new par liament, it will probably meet in the course of next August." The Globe fixed the 15th, but now declares the 22d to be the day. The Era says—" It is calculated, demi-officially, that the prorogation will take place on Thursday week (June 24), by the Queen in person, and that the dissolution will be an nounced in the next Gazette. The Queen will not dissolve the parliament in person, it being deemed an ungracious act for the monarch personally to dissolve a parliament." The Cheltenham,Looker-on says—" It will be some day this week, by the Queen in person ; and, on dit, the Queen's speech is to be a telling one for ministers on the hustings." The Times of Saturday says—" Some persons had an idea that the prorogation would take place on Tuesday next, the 15th instant, but the more general opinion now seems to be that the old parliament will ' drag on' for another ten or twelve days, Friday, the 25th instant, being the day named. There is, however, no business of any great importance to occupy the two houses, and there is, therefore, nothing to prevent the dissolution from being announced on Thursday or Fri day next, at the latest. We think it not improbable that parliament will be dissolved next week. SUDDEN DEATHS FROM APOPLEXY..—On Wednesday morning, a working man, named Allenson, aged 39, was found dead in his bed. It appeared from the evidence at the inquest yesterday, that serous apoplexy was the cause of death.—Verdict accordingly. On the same day, an inquest was held on view of the body of Ann Leathom, aged 73, residing in Falkner-street. At half-past five o'clock on Monday morning, the deceasei was found in a fit, in which she remained for two hours. She afterwards fell into a state of insensibility, from which, though she was attended to, she did not afterwards recover.—Verdict—" Died by the visita tion of God." DEATH OF A CHILD BY FALLING FROM A WINDOW.— An inquest was held yesterday, before Mr. Curry, on view of the body of James White, a child of about a year and a half old. It appeared that the deceased, whose parents were about to emigrate to America, and lodged in Stewart -street, near the Clarence Dock, was, on Monday morning about eight o'clock, playing on the bed in the front room, in the attic story of the house, when, though the window was closed, he fell through one of the panes into the street. The deceased's sister-in-law was in the room at the time, but had not naturally any apprehension of such an accident. The alarm was given, and it was found that the deceased had fallen upon the iron rail opposite the cellar, on which he hung, one of the points of the rails having entered his belly a short distance, causing a dreadful wound. He was immedi ately carried to the Northern Hospital, where the wound was sewed up, and every means taken to save his life, but without avail. He died in thirteen hours after the accident. It will be recollected that Captain Harris, the second mate. and several people, took to the long-boat when the William Brown sank after having run against an iceberg. We find by a Cape Breton paper, received by the Caledonia, that, after having been in the long-boat six days, they were picked up by a French lugger on the fishing ground, and carried into St. Pierre. They were in a dreadful state of exhaustion, and were sent to the hospital, where several of them remained at the date of the last advices. This is, in all probability, the We should boat which was referred to in the letter to.

His little lordship looked ineffably delighted, and his eyes danced with pleasure too with a reception so plausibly con trasting with the goosy strains before which of late quailing in such agony of mind and paly forlornness of look in St. James's Park, or elsewhere about the purlieus of Westmin ster—for " little things are great to little minds."

There were, it is understood, some decent persons present, such as Mr. Samuel Jones Loyd, the banker, but then they cautiously entrenched themselves on the platform, and did not show the smallest disposition to fraternise too closely with the heterogeneous fry in the body of the room. The Chronicle will, however, doubtless to morrow speak to the character of the whole concern, and avouch them to be " all, all honourable men." The rogues of course ar e sure to answer for each other, and so be it.— Morning Her a ld of Wednesday.
