SPECIAL APPOINTMENT TO HER MAJESTY AND ALL THE ROYAL FAMILY SCHWEPPE'S SODA AND POTASS WATERS, IERATED LEMONADE., THE continued preference of the Public for the above celebrated preparations (notwithstanding the low price at which imitations are rendered), so Abundantly proves their superior quality, that it only runs for the manufac turers to express their acknowledts, and to caution consumers against an imposition fretly practised by un principled persons filling SCHWEPPE'S bottles with a spurious composition, and passing it off as SCH WEPPE'S manufacture. None are genuine without a label represent ing the name of their firm. SCHWEPPE'S LIQUID MAGNESIA. This elegant solution is produced by the aid of their power ful machinery skilfully directed, and consists of the purest distilled water, and the best carbonate of magnesia. This invaluable alkali in the fluid form is so rapidly superseding its use in the solid state for cases of Gout, Gravel, Diseases of Children, Sea Sickness, &c., avoiding, as it does, the in jurious tendency of the latter to lodge and accumulate in the bowels, that the Public attention cannot be too often directed to the source where they may obtain the preparation in the highest state of perfection.

These celebrated Tapestry Carpets ha hitherto been i r a prin cipally confined to the localities of the etropolises of Eng land and Scotland, until he made angements with the Patentees for the SOLE SALE of their Goods for this part of England ; that arrangement has excited dealers to pretend that they sell the same Goods. Some attempt to detract from their value, and others represent what is called Florence for these celebrated Carpets. As such statements may in jure the reputation of the Goods, he begs to invite Manufac turers, Merchants, the Trade, and whoever may feel disposed to examine these Carpets, that they may be convinced of their superiority in design, in material, in durability, and in good value.

The Patentee, in consequence of his Rope coming greatly into use, is now enabled to reduce the price from 70s. per cwt. to 60s. per cwt., making ft 'fully 30 per Cent. cheaper than Hemp Rope. ROBERTSON and CO., 12, Goree-piazzas, Sole Agents at Liverpool. " City of Dublin Steam-Packet Company, " Office, 24, Water-street, Liverpool, April 21, 1841. " GENTLEMEN, — In reply to your letter of this morning, I beg to state, as a proof of my opinion of the Wire Rope for Standing Rigging, that I have recently put it on board of this Company's new Steamer the Erin-yo-Brayh, and which I would not have done if I had the slightest doubt of its superiority over Hemp Cordage. The Standing Rigging of the Prince, Princess, Queen Victoria, Oriental, and Great Liverpool, is in the same good condition as when first put on board those Steamers ; and, as regards the two first-named Vessels, it has not been necessary to set the Shrouds up since they were hauled taut two years since. I find the Wire Rope answers admirably for Ridge Ropes for awnings, as it becomes like a bar of iron when well set up, and does not give to the lashings. " I am, Gentlemen, your obedient servant, " JAMES C. SHAW. " Messrs. Robertson & Co., Goree-piazzas, Liverpool, Agents for A. Smith's Patent Wire Ropes." " GENTLEMEN, - At the request of the Patentee, Mr. Smith, I beg to state for his information, that the Patent Wire Rigging fitted to the iron ship John Garrott', of 711. tons, under my command, after being a voyage from England to Bombay and back to this port, during which period it was tried by the most severe weather, remains in a most excel lent condition ; so much so, that I do not consider it neces sary to have it taken down for refitting until the Ship has performed another voyage, should it even then be requisite to do so. • " I have much pleasure in adding my testimony to its great utility, and decided superiority over Hempen Cordage, being much lighter, smaller, stronger, and cheaper than the latter, and, I have no hesitation in saying, from what I have experienced, much more durable. The John Garrow's Lower Rigging is only 3i inch Patent Wire Rope; whereas, had it been Hemp, 8} inch would have been required.

OFFICES { GLASGOW. 141, Buchanan-street. The LEADING PRINCIPLES of this Office are, Ist. To charge the LOWEST PREMIUMS, consistent with perfect security ; and, 2d. To divide the WHOLE SURPL S among those Members from whose longer payments t y have arisen, no share being given to Policies of only ew years' standing, on which there must be a loss, and of a profit. This is evidently more equitable, and at the same time more advan tageous for good lives, than the system of division generally adopted. The PRACTICAL EFFECT of these two principles is, that by the first—namely, the diminution of the Premiums — the greatest present benefit is secured to all ; while by the second—the peculiar mode of division of the surplus—those who survive the average duration of life will derive the greatest future contingent advantages; a combination pre sented by no other office._ - £1 158IL1 18 OIZ2 1 6 1 6101£2 14 9 1 .e 3 5 l£4 1 7 The Premiums may be made to cease entirely, after a li mited number of payments.

HENRY BOSANQUET, Chairman. THEODORE W. RATHBONE, Deputy Chairman. FOREIGN INT.ELLIGENCE. UNITED STATES. By the Si. James, Captain Tebor, which arrived at Ply mouth on Friday, we have received accounts from New York, to the 4th instant, being two days later than those previously received. The New York papers state that the money market is in an improved condition, the banks being more willing to dis count, while their deposits were increasing. Exchange upon England was heavy at 74 per cent. With respect to the United States Bank, it was stated in some quarters that the documents appointing the trusteeship were being prepared at Philadelphia. One, it is said, was intended to secure the Philadelphia city banks, that hold 5,000,000 dollars in post notes ; the other notes were designed for the benefit of the circulation and the deposits. The real estate stocks, &c., were expected to be made over to the trustees, who would proceed to liquidate the circulation and the deposits as soon as possible. At New York the shares were quoted 17 dol lars. M`Leod had been removed from Lockport by habeas corpus, and was expected to arrive in New York on the evening of the 3d, where he would remain in confinement till his case had passed before the Supreme Court of the State. If his discharge was not then made, an early trial would take place, but it appeared: to be thought that he would be liberated when brought before the Supreme Court. By the Cornelia, transient ship. Capt. French, arrived at a late hour last night, we have received New York papers to the 7th instant, for which we are indebted to the indefa tigable correspondent of the London Shipping and Mei , cantile Gazette. The papers do not contain much informa tion of general interest. A meeting of the shareholders in the United States Bank was held on the 4th instant, when it was determined that the bank, and its agencies in the country, should no longer be maintained than was necessary for the interest of the institution. It being understood that a por tion of the assets had been assigned to trustees for the ulti mate security of the liabilities of the bank, it was resolved that such an assignment was in derogation of the authority of the stockholders, and therefore not !approved by them. The directors were also instructed to apply to the legislature to alter the name, and reduce the capital of the hank. Money was becoming more abundant in the city. The banks find it difficult to get as much paper under ninety days as they want, and it was not difficult to negociate good paper at 7 per cent. At Philadelphia there wa4no greatichange in the market or in business generally. The only other article of interest, is the following fi om the New York Commercial Advertiser of the 4th instant. REMOVAL or I\l`LEOD.—The arrival of this gentleman in our city—this teterrima causa belli—yesterday, took us all somewhat by surprise, and even now the exact purpose, the absolute how and why of the matter, are not very clearly ascertained. There is to be a motion for habeas corpus argued before the Supreme Court on Thursday, bnt by whom it is applied for, and with what object, we are not as yet informed. On Thursday, perhaps, we shall know all about it. Our wonder in the matter is that the application was not made long ago to the Supreme Court of the United. States, where the whole question could be argued and settled at once. The Rochester Democrat gives the annexed account of the remaval .—On Thursday evening the Lockport coach brought to this city the famous Alexander M`Leod, in custody of the sheriff of Niagara county, on his way to the city of New York, on a writ of habeas corpus, issued by the Supreme Court, to bring him before it during its May term in that city. He was lodged in jail until the time for the packet to leave for the east next morning. when he was brought on board and took his departure. We suppose an attempt will be made by his counsel to have him discharged, on the ground that if guilty of partici pating in the destruction of human life and American pro perty on board the Caroline, he was acting under the orders of his superior officers. If that fails, they will probably en deavour to have his trial take place in some part of the state where it can be got along with in the absence of as many witnesses as possible, under the absurd plea that there is too strong a prejudice or too much excitement against him in western New York to give him a fair trial. The New York Herald, of the sth, states that it was ru moured and credited that M`Leod had been liberated from Lockport jail, at the instance of a state officer. The Cornelia is consigned to Messrs. Waddington, Holt, and Co., and is the finest specimen of American naval archi tecture afloat. THE " PRESIDENT." The following letters have been placed in our hands by Mr. Pim, the Liverpool agent for the British and North American Steam Navigation Company. It manifests much considera tion on the part of the Portuguese Cipvernment for the painful anxiety of the relatives and friends of those on board. Lisbon, 24th May, 1841. SIR,—We beg to transmit to you a copy of a letter we have this day addressed to Mr. Court, the Secretary of the Liverpool Underwriters' Association, as it may be gratifying to the owners of the President to know, that the Portuguese government showed a promptness in sending any assistance that they thought might be of advantage to the missing ship. It will at all times give us pleasure to be o f service to you here, and we are sir, your very obedient servants, MARTIN and DOUGLAS. Agent for the Steam-ship President, Liverpool. (Copy) Lisbon, 24th May, 1841. SlR,—After writing to you on the 17th current, relative to the Conde de Palma having seen a large steamer on the 23d ultimo, Captain Sartorius of her Majesty's service, and Vice-Admiral in the Portuguese navy, called upon us, and stated that he had only just heard the report, and that he considered the steamer in question might be the President ; and from the variable winds prevailing generally at this time of the year in the latitude where the steamer was seen, a dis abled vessel might not be able to reach a port of safety with out some assistance ; he thought therefore that some measures should he adopted, and suggested the propriety of making further enquiry ; we waited immediately upon the Master of the Conde de Palma, in company with Captain Sartorius, and the latter appeared more convinced of the probability that the steamer seen was the President. He then stated his opinion to her Majesty's Envoy at this court, who ordered out the brig Espoir, Lieut. Paulson, which was the only British vessel of war in the Tagus ; and Count Bompin, the Portu guese Minister of Marine, at the suggestion of Captain Sar torius, sent out two small vessels of war, with provisions, &c. Although we have very faint hopes of these succours being available, it is well that the merchants and underwriters of Liverpool should be made acquainted with the liberal and benevolent conduct of the Portuguese Minister of Marine, in promptly ordering out, on such vague and uncertain intel ligence as that brought by the Conde de Palma, two vessels of war, to cruize in expectation of being of service to the President.—We are, Sir, your most obedient servants, (Signed) MARTIN and DOUGLAS. Thomas Court, Esq., Liverpool. P.S.—Her Majesty's brig Espoir, and the two Portuguese vessels of war, had directions to cruize in such different lati tudes and longitudes as it was thought a vessel, under the circumstances of the steamer seen by the Conde de Palma, was likely to be in, provided she was disabled and not likely to work to windward with her sails. Mr. Laird, the agent for the company in London, has re ceived a communication from Messrs. Emerson and Co., the company's agents in Paris and Havre de Grace. They state that the only steamer belonging to the French navy that could be in the longitude and latitude according to the report of the Conde di Palma, recently arrived at Lisbon. The New York Herald, of the 3d ult., contains some curious speculations which seem to indicate that the Presi dent may have been caught in the vast fields of ice that co vered the Atlantic above 45 degrees in the latter end of March and beginning of April. The President would pass over the track of the ice about that time ; and if she went farther north than 45, it might surround her. MANCHESTER AND BIRMINGHAM RAILWAY.—We learn from the Derby Mercury that the works on the Manchester and Birmingham Railway are progressing rapidly, and it is confidently stated that it will be opened to Crewe early in the next year. The distance to London will then be twelve miles and three quarters less than by the Grand Junction line. THE APPROACHING CENSUS.-011 Monday next, the 7th instant, is the day appointed by a recent Act of Parlia ment for taking an account of the population of Great Bri taine and Ireland. During the en suing week the var i ous Re gistrars of Births and Deaths will cause to be left at each inhabited house within their district a form of return pre scribed by the Census Commissioners, according to the Act, which must be filled up by each householder according to the circumstances of the case, and left at the house, to be called for by the Enumerator of the District on Monday the 7th of June. The return must contain the names, the ages, the description or occupation of every person who shall sleep in the house of the person making the return on the night of Sunday the 6th of June, but must not contain the names of any member of the family who shall have slept in any other house on that night. It will also be necessary to state whether each person was born in the county in which his or her name is returned, and, if not, whether born in any other county of England, or in Scotland, or Ireland, or abroad. As it is at all times desirable that official statistical returns should be correct, it is to he hoped that each householder will take care to make his return strictly correct, to afford every facility to the Enumerators when they call f or th e papers, and ask the questions which t he y are empowered to do, to ascertain their accuracy. Every person who refuses to answer, or make a false answer , as to any of the particu lan required, is liable to a heavy penalty.

" A Layman" will find, in our columns of to-day, a suffici• ent answer to the pamphlet which has called forth his re- • marks. A " Manchester Man" wishes to know where the church is situated which the Liverpool Chronicle says Mr. John Brooks has built. An enormous goose egg, weighing 10i ounces, was laid by the Editor of the Mercury last week in his shop window, where it may now be seen by the curious. " A Young Enquirer" would soon have his question an swered by addressing a private communication to the gen tleman he wishes publicly to appeal to, but it is unfair to expect a reply to an anonymous letter through the medium of the press. The clergy would soon have nothing else to attend to. The following is an extract from a letter of the Rev. Dr. Chalmers, regarding the review, which appeared in the STANDARD a few weeks since, of an admirable work by a clergyman of the Church of Scotland, entitled, " The Di vine Origin and Perpetual Obligation of Tythes." It will be observed, that a perusal of the arguments has produced even a stronger conviction on the mind of the rev. doctor than we were impressed with, or felt justified in publish ing :—" I can truly say, that the result of my acquaintance with your book is a tenfold greater conviction than I anti cipated. I am at least fully abreast with one of your re viewers, who says if you have not made out that tythes must be paid, you have made it very clear that they ought to be paid. I think your scriptural argument of great weight, and was struck with the extensive and varied eru dition which you have brought together on the subject. I have no doubt that your book will work its way, and be referred to as a standard authority." Poor Mr. M'Crea! He appears to consider that he can bring forward with impunity the most calumnious and false accusations against his opponents, but the moment any reference is made to his own conduct or principles, he ex pects an immediate and distinct denial of whatever may be advanced to exhibit the tone and temper of his mind. When the reverend gentleman has withdrawn the " un founded and gratuitous statements" he has put forth with reference to the STANDARD, we may have something to say in reply to the letter he has addressed to us. He will remember that these "statements" were published be fore we made any allusion to his behaviour at Waterloo. The answer to the Rev. Mr. Baylee will be found in another column : it is easy to talk about " hypothetical proposi tions," but we should certainly have declined the insertion of the present communication, had it not contained specific replies to the questions of Mr. Baylee, inserted in the STANDARD of Friday last. We call the attention of the public to a practical illustration of the operation of the corn laws now exhibiting at the office of this paper. We have been at the trouble of pro curing three loaves, which are placed in the window of the publishing office : one, such as is sold in England—sound, white, and sweet ; another, similar to what are used in Germany, made from black Rye ; and the third, a speci men of the food consumed in Russia and Poland—black and sour—they are each sold at sixpence in the respective countries. It requires a mere glance to discover which is the more preferable article, or which is the most substan tial and digestible food. The decision must at once be in favour of our British manufacture, and this will commend itself still more to our operative friends, when we state in addition that the British agricultural labourer is paid on the average nearly three times as much wages as the foreigner, the British operative gets about one half more on the average than the foreigner, and the British mechanic and artisan obtain more than double the average wages of the foreigner. Englishmen! be not deceived by the anti corn-law delusion : it is a mere artifice to grind down the wages of the poor, under the cry of cheap bread. Ebt Etberpoot g9tanbarb. TUESDAY MORNING, JUNE 1, 1841 There is no one point of view in which we can re• gard the Anti-Corn-Law lecturers and their doctrines in which they do not appear to our mind to be per. 'ectly deserving of abhorrence. We might show the ustice of this conclusion through a long induction of jarticulars, but we are satisfied to let it rest on a very If it appeared, for example, that the object o ,hese men was to cause a revolution in the country — defraud one class of the community in order to en rich another —or, that whatever their intention might be, this would be the effect and consequence of their measures—would not this alone be enough to cause any good subject to contemplate their proteedings with detestation, and to use his best endeavours to de feat them ? That this is the fact we have already of fered some proof, and we mean now to offer more, confining ourselves merely to the addresses of Mr. Cobden, a leading man of the party. We have shown that, regardless of all social institu tions and obligations, he argues for a resumption of the state of nature. He has not yet informed us whe ther he maintains the doctrine of a community of wives ; but that men are still free to help themselves to the fruits of the earth wherever they can find them, he infers from that passage of scripture which declares that the fruits of the earth were given to man for food. By this he means to prove that the manufacturers have a right to seize the estates of the corn-growers of this country, and convert them to their own use. The landlords, he contends, have no right to appropriate ; " every herb bearing seed which is on the face of the earth" was given to man " to be for meat," and there fore all have a right in common to their acquisition. Further, he declares he can find nothing in the Bible about the Duke of Buckingham's or any other duke's estate ; and leaves it thereby to be inferred that they have no right to any such possession. It is manifest, therefore, that this professor argues for— " The good old rule, the simple plan, That he should take who has the power, And he should keep, who can ;" or what is commonly called, the " state of nature." The manufacturer's " new moral world" is, however, somewhat different from that great man's, Mr. Owen's ; for Mr. Cobden does not contend so much for a community of goods as an exchange of them— not so much to share the Duke of Buckingham's es tate, or the estates of the landed gentry, fairly between them and their tenantry, or others, as to drive them out of them altogether, and put the tenantry, or others, in their place. Owen is for a community of goods as well as wives ; Mr. Cobden for an exchange only. This he made clear by an anecdote. He said that he knew of one parish, Cholesbury, (somewhere in the south,) which had been entirely abandoned by the landowners on account of the ex cessive amount of the poor rates. The landlords gave it up altogether ; but the paupers took it in hands. Under the advice of a London society, they " set to work to till the parish themselves, and for themselves, and in the course of two years and a half the poor men, who had previously been hopeless paupers, be came possessed of cows, and pigs, and horses. — (Cheers.)" Here then the land exchanged owners, and here was exchange without robbery. Follow this out, and you have the beneficent effects which will be sure to follow a repeal of the corn laws. The land lords must abandon their estates ; but what of that ? paupers and labourers will get possession of them— and " Cobdenism" will be glorified ! The lecturer had been frequently asked, he said, what would become of the labourers if the landlords were compelled by a repeal of the corn duties to cease to cultivate their lands,—and his answer usually was, " what became of the labourers in Cholesbury ?" THEY TOOK POs- SESSION OF THE NEGLECTED TERRITORY Professor Cobden dilates on this point at such length that we defy the dullest of his pupils to misun derstand him. Here is another of his anecdotes on the same subject : " The other day, one of the anti-corn law lecturers, who was travelling in Dorsetshire, hired a peasant whom he met, to carry his carpet-bag for five miles, in order that he might have an opportunity of entering into conversation with him. He (the lecturer) had been addressiug the people in a neigh bouring town. He said to the man, ' You have some anti corn law lecturers here, sent among you from the manufac turers in Manchester, do you know what those manufac turers are going to do ? I will tell you. They are going to repeal the corn laws, and then there will be so much foreign corn imported that all your lands will be thrown out of cul tivation.' The man looked up to the speaker with a know.. ing cock of his eye, and said, ' they beant going to carry away the land, be they ?' (Great laughter, followed by en thusiastic applause.)" There can be nothing. more clear, unequivocal, and express than the spoliation meditated. It is both avowed, and sought to be justified by these vagabonds. We rather think they have stolen a leaf out of the book of the Irish Jack Sheppard—that wonderful man ; but sometimes there is an undesigned though curious coincidence between great minds. O'Connell, however, has certainly used the same argument re peatedly to the Irish peasantry. Indeed nothing could please that admired patriot better than to expel the landowners of Ireland, who are for the most part Sas senachs and Protestants, from their possessions. It is just what he wants. It would be effectuating " Re peal" by a very short method, 'and, doubtless, he will eagerly fraternise with the Cobdens and Ashworths, and other donkeys who bray continually on this sub ject. But we put it to all reflecting, rational, and right-minded Englishmen, if these Cobden fellows be not as vile a crew as ever vexed the dull ears of a pa tient world—as stupid as they are ignorant--and as mischievous, or, at least, as mischievously disposed as the one or the other. So fat-witted are the creatures, that we protest we could not wish for a better scourge to flog them through the world with, than their own ar guments tied up in a neat fasciculus. It is the duty of every honest man to rescue the people and the country out of the hands of such wretches ; and we own we are not quite satisfied that the honest Tories of Liverpool did right in not stand ing forward, last week, openly to oppose them in their Amphitheatrical dramas. They should not avoid any opportunity of discussing the corn question. Let them rest assured of it, that the agitation is based upon a huge fallacy—to give the thing its most favourable construction and mildest appellation; and that it is a mist which cannot stand before the light of truth. The agitation too ought to be put down. It is an abomi nable piece of sedition, and it would, if successful, be the destruction of England. It begins with an open avowal of its plundering intents—its revolutionary, levelling objects; and it enlists, or seeks to enlist on its side, all the necessitous and the ill-disposed—the profligate and the disaffected. It would plunder the wealthy, but it would also cheat the poor ; and, con ducted as it is by men eaten up by avarice, and pur blind with selfishness, it would in the end involve them, as well as all other orders of the community, in one common ruin. We should court, rather than de cline the discussion; for a proper investigation will not fail to exhibit this wretched affair in its true colours. The mob cry in Ireland coincides with the mob cry n England, and is —for repeal of the corn duties. Several meetings lately convened by the gentry of that country, for the purpose of petitioning against any alteration of the existing laws, have been broken in upon by mobs, and prevented by clamour and disturbance from passing the resolutions which they Lad intended to adopt, or have seen others of a dia. metrically opposite tendency moved and carried in their place. To many this must seem rather a strange affair—a something which wants explanation. We have touched on the subject already in another article ; but it is important that it should be rightly understood, and we will here take the liberty of offer- [ng some further explanatory remarks with regard to it In this country, people commonly look after their own interests. We have our class interests, and each looks after that which it conceives to be for its own advantage. It is the operation of natural causes upon minds unclouded by superstition, and left indepen dently to follow their own bias; and there being an impartial tribunal to hear and determine between con flicting agencies, good and not evil is generally the result. We look to Ireland in the expectation of find- ing a similar process in action; but we do not find it. Here agriculturalists, and all whose bread depends on agricultural industry, naturally look to their defences : in Ireland, where there is in fact no second class, the popular cry (we do not include that of the gentry, the mercantile body; nor of the Protestants, under this term) is entirely for the destruction of that interest ! This surely is a little enigmatical. It is indeed so apparently preposterous and absurd, that if there were no way to account for it, it might fairly be said that the people—worse than Bceotians, and clouded with more than Cimmerian darkness—were absolutely mad. But conceive them to entertain the design of seizing the country into their own hands—conceive the popu lace to be primed with the notion of appropriating the estates of the gentry to their own use—suppose them to be charged with a bigoted hatred of English con nection, and longing for a favourable opportunity to declare their independence—why, then we have at least some consistency. There is consistency even in madness ; for madmen, according to Locke, " reason right from wrong principles." See, then, the connection between the two repeals. Repeal the corn duties, and repeal of the Union will follow as a matter of course : it will render it inevita ble. Here we have the true explanation of O'Connell's mock sympathy for the English poor, and fraternisa tion with the factory millionaires ; they help him, and turns." he helps them. The cotton lords do not, most likely, see the consequences of their own acts; in general they can scarcely see the length of their own noses : but not so the old, well-disciplined Jesuit; he does. Repeal the corn-duties, then, and you cause an im mediate revolution in Ireland. It will be tantamount to a forfeiture of their estates by three-fourths of the landlords. They can obtain no more rents. The thing will be utterly impossible with an eight-shilling duty on foreign corn. Then what follows ? Why, the tenantry will hold their estates discharged of rent, and of all other obligations ; that will just be the con- sequence. But, it may be said, the tenantry will be quite at the mercy of their landlords ; if they do not fulfil the condition of their several leases or agreements, they will be removable at the pleasure of the proprietory. Yes, by law they will be so ; but not in fact. There is a power in Ireland superior to the law. There is the power of Popish priests, and there is the power of the Ribbon conspiracy—if indeed they be not one and the same thing, as we most firmly believe they are ; and against this power the landowners will be power less. The murdering of landlords has long been a fa vourite pastime with the Captain Rocks of Ireland ; but never was the practice more in vogue than it is just at this moment. The week before last, Mr. Hall of Merton, a gentleman of fortune in the County Tip perary, and a great liberal in politics, was shot on his own ground—another victim to the long catalogue of those who have fallen under the Ribbon proscription ; and last week, at Ferns, in the County Wexford, Mr. Butler Bryan—(the purchaser, be it remarked, of the palace and see lands of the suppressed bishopric)—this gentleman was also taken off while riding about his demesne, in like manner as his immediate predecessor on the road to that " bourne whence no traveller re- The hired assassins of the Ribbon conspiracy tra verse the whole country seeking those whom they are commanded to destroy, and their aim is pretty sure. Few escape their deadly fire. The Dublin Evening Mail assures us that there were lately a dozen landed proprietors on the Ribbonmen's list for assassination ; there remain ten to be disposed of. Well—in the face of this murderous league, we ask, what would landlords be able to do with a tenantry whom the repealed corn duties would render unable to pay their rents ? Nothing whatever. They would have to abandon the soil to them. And the tithe rent—it would necessarily be extinguished, and the church be involved in the common destruction. Do our readers now perceive which way the wind sits ? Do they perceive whose cause is identified in Ireland with a repeal of the corn laws? O'Connell commends it. Why ? That he may have Ireland to himself. He knows that after that repeal there will be no more remittances to absentee landlords—most of them, by the way, residing in this country ; he knows that it will cause a revolution in landed property—a revolution which he has a band well trained and dis- ciplined, and ready to confirm; and that, "not least though last in his esteem," the estates of the church will be annihilated. The Chamber of Commerce of Limerick petitions against a repeal of the corn laws; and so will other chambers of commerce ; and so will high sheriffs of counties, and county and town meetings also, when and where they can; but as to the popish multitude— O'Connell's people, the priests, and the Ribbonmen— they will not. It will be all "hurry for repeal"—any sort of repeal—with them. Treason is their trade, and nothing could serve their cause more effectually than repeal of the corn duties. Therefore the thing will be absolutely popular in Ireland. We have anticipated this, and we have no doubt of seeing it fully realised. Let England therefore choose between friends and enemies. Let her repeal the corn-laws, and she will delight the latter; she will beggar her friends and en rich her foes ; banish from Ireland her best inhabit ants ; overturn the church, and leave the country an easy prey to the disaffected. Do the mill-owners ever condescend to turn their attention in this direction ? We believe not. They are quite too much engrossed ' with their own short-sighted .selfishness. But it is well for us that we have not a parliament of mill-own ers. The curse of such pilots is not yet upon us, and we sincerely hope never will be ; for truly they would make short work of Old England and all her glories. The present session is likely to be distinguished from all others by the length and tediousness of its debates. . _. 'l'he talk upon the sugar question was the longest and most repetitious ever known ; and who can give us any certain information as to the duration of the discussion now pending on Sir Robert Peel's proposition ? Our readers are aware that it has lasted two nights, and that, adjourned over the holydays, it stands for resump tion to-morrow; but whether to be "then and there" disposed of, quien sabe, as they say in California, " who knows ?" A London contemporary observes, that " men who have outlived their character, have, in some respects, a great advantage over the rest of mankind," which is very true. They may then do almost anything. They have passed that rubicon which separates them from everything decent and respectable, and every new ad venture they undertake, however disreputable—being committed within a limit where everything out of rule is expected—neither detracts from, nor adds to, that outlaw character which adheres to everything they da. The whigs know well that they ought to have hid their diminished heads long ago ; but having got over the first difficulty—having brazened it out on the first few occasions—their impudence has acquired strength, and infamy sits easy upon them. Discussion upon Sir Robert Peel's motion is quite useless. There ought to have been no debate whatever upon it, but to the division at once. It is grounded upon antecedent, notorious facts, and alleges two pro positions which are quite undeniable ; first, that mi nisters do not sufficiently possess the confidence of the house to carry their most important measures; and, secondly, " that their continuance in office under such circumstances is at variance with the spirit of the con stitution." The first branch of the resolution is abso lutely a truism ; the second must be admitted by every one who knows that the spirit of all our constitutional regulations is, that the voice of the majority—the qua lified majority—prevails. How are members elected to serve in Parliament ? By the majority of votes. And in parliament, laws are passed or rejected by the majority. Can it, then, oe " constitutional" for a mi nistry to remain in office who have the majority in par liament against them, and to attempt to govern by the minority ? Such an occurrence is altogether unprece dented, and was never heard of till exemplified by the outlaw Whigs. This state of things cannot certainly last long ; but while it does last, it is a most disgraceful exhibition, and extremely injurious to every interest and every class in society. Here are men miserably clinging to office, without having the smallest prospect of being able to carry any one measnre which, according to their views, is absolutely necessary for conducting the business of the state. They cannot govern themselves, and, like true dogs in the manger, they will not permit others. Do they reckon that the country is with them, although the parliament is not—then why don't they dissolve ? We must suppose that they are biding their time for that purpose—that they are giving opportunity to the Anti-corn law lecturers—their friends Cobden and Co. to do their offices. Agitation, they know, must have a little time to do its work, and then, if needs must, why they will make their appeal to the country. Con servatism will, doubtless, be put to a severe test ; but it must not only buckle on its armour, but prepare itself with an extraordinary stock of patience and per severance. Fair play is not to be expected from " outlaws" ; indeed there is nothing to be expected from them but foul play and abomination of every sort; nevertheless we have no fear for the result. Only let every good Conservative he up and doing. It is a time to try men's spirits. CELEBRATION OF THE ANNIVERSARY OF THE RESTORATION OF CHARLES 11. Saturday last being the 29th of May, the demonstration in behalf of those protestant principles to which the present royal family owe their accession to the throne of these realms, was evinced by the display of flags from the churches, public buildings, and many private houses in the town, as well as by dinners and evening parties, in commemoration of the auspicious restoration of King Charles. The day, however, happening at the end of the week, the numerous and respect able body of shipwrights. ropemakers, and blockmakers, who usually celebrate the anniversary of their own society as that of the restoration, this year postponed their accustomed pro• cession until yesterday, as being more convenient, and the display they made was fully equal to that of any former oc casion. From an early hour an unusual bustle was observable throughout the town, and this continued to increase, the streets being unusually crowded dring the whole day, and presenting the cheerful and enlivening aspect of a general holiday. Flags and banners were again displayed at most of the churches, from the conservative newspaper offices, and from numerous club-houses and private residences. The juvenile community were also in high glee, and several good infantine representations of King Charles, in arbours of oak, were carried along by their junior playmates, who bore ap propriate small banners. The weather was beautifully clear and warm, and the numerous flags in the grand, procession were seen to the best advantage. The several societies met - in Williamson-square at nine o'clock, and having formed in line, with numerous military bands, marched in procession, making the circuit of Rene lath-street and Lime-street, soon after ten, to Christ Church, one of the largest places of worship in the town, where they attended divine service. The sermon was preached by the Rev. Fielding Ould, and we need scarcely say, was one of those appropriate and eloquent exhortations for which the rev. gentleman is so much admired, and which was peculiarly calculated to make a deep and lasting impression upon his audience. A handsome collection was made in aid of the funds of the Blue Coat School. After leaving the church the procession again took march ing order, and proceeded with colours flying and bands play ing through many of the principal streets, including Byrom - street, Dale-street, round Nelson's Monument, Castle street, Bold-street, and Rodney-street ; thence northward to the King's Monument, along St. Ann's -street, down Rich mond-row, and back to Willia mson-square. In passing the office of this paper the societies saluted us by hearty and continued cheers, in testimony of our exertions in favour of constitutional principles which are equally dear to this loyal and respectable body of men. An immense number of spec tators, of all ages and degrees, greeted them throughout the whole route. The shipwrights, ropers, &c., and their nu merous apprentices who accompanied them, were all well dressed, wore sashes, rosettes, roses, sprigs of oak, &c., and looked remarkably well. It was truly gratifying, indeed, to behold so fine a body of men, all animated by one spirit of affection to the Protestant institutions of their country, and to reflect that they would ere long be called upon to exercise their franchise, which they assuredly will do, for the election of legislators who will conserve the best and dearest interests of the country. The greatest order and decorum were observed throughout, and the large body of policemen who brought up the rear of the procession would have been much better employed at their several beats. Their appearance, indeed, indicated a degree of impertinent interference on the part of those under whose orders they acted, and conveyed an un merited insult, which we truly hope and trust will not be re peated on the well behaved, peaceable, and useful body whom they followed. It were impossible to particularise all the beautiful flags. banners, and insignia displayed in the procession. Amongst the most conspicuous were a fine large beautifully painted flag on the poles, representing on one side King Charles mounting the oak tree, and on the obverse, the same monarch mounted on a richly caparisoned charger ; the Duke of Wei lington, a full length painting; several beautiful large Royal Standards ; coats of arms of the several trades who walked ; a picture of the Queen, &c. Several handsome and appro priate models were also carried, particularly one of the Oriental steam-ship, all neatly made and planked in minute pieces like a real vessel ; another steamer called the " Prince of Orange ;" a representation in figures and machinery of rope makers spinning ; steering wheels of ships, &c. & c . In passing round Nelson's monument, the bands played " Rule Britannia ", and at the Kings monument, London road, " God Save the Queen". The procession numbered, at one time, we believe, 12,000 individuals. On its return to Williamson-square, the respective societies retired to their several club rooms in various parts of thelown, and passed the remainder of the day in relaxation and conviviality. THE ODD-FELLOWS. —Yesterday morning, a great num ber of the members of this numerousand thriving society, in their holiday attire, and with sashes, &c, celebrated their an niversary by a trip to the isle of Man, by steam. They embarked at the pier-head with colours flying, and band. playing. We commend this mode of enjoying a holiday. The weather was peculiarly favourable for the occasion, the no velty of which would, no doubt, afford much gratification to all on board. THEATRE ROYAL.—The house was crowded last night, to see Mr. Macready and Mrs. Warner in Macbeth. Richelieu to-night, will be a great treat. The demand for places, we believe, is very great. , Tug PRINCESS ROYAL.--We understand that the splendid new iron steam-ship Princess Royal was tried on Wednesday last, by Messrs. Todd and M'Gregar, the builders and engineers, and from the time taken to perform certain distances, w e learn that she has proved herself the fastest sea-going steamer afloat. The Princess Royal is the property of the Glasgow and Liverpool Royal Steam Packet Company, and is expected to make the voyage from Greenock to Liverpool within fifteen hours.—Glasgow Coxstitutional. —[lt will be noticed in reference toOur advertising columns, that this vessel leaves Liverpool, for Glasgow, on the 22nd instant.
