At Wheal Fountain, the workings have been resumed on the course .of . an extremely rich lode, which was worked a few years since ; - the produce, on being assayed, was found to return fourteen .parts of white tin for twenty of ore; and it is confidently ex_pect ed K that this lode will co ntinue e qually productive. On ali . yratb„ five promising lodes have been. discovered at. a few feet only below the surface. • The peculiar advantages of the mines of this Crimpany are 1. An adit (to the extent of upwards of 341.lathoins) which intersects the Roche Rock lodes at twenty-seten fathoms below the surface, and several other lodes from seventeen to twenty ',even fathoms, in whole or maiden 'ground. The river Fat (rising on the Wheal Fountain sett, and passing throtwii a large portion of the other setts,) with its tri butatv streams. furnish a good supply of water for the various vurp.oses of mining. 3. The railroad from the wharf at Par, near Fowey, being in tended, hi the course of a short time, to pass either through or immediately adjoining the setts, will afford a most inexpensive and easy tiansit of produce and materials. 4. The works can be prosecuted at an inexpensive rate, the ground being easy, and very little timber being required either shaft or adit work. 5. The dues are very moderate. 6. The extent of the work already performed, coupled with the peculiar facilities of prosecuting the sszne, fully justify the prospect of a Speedy return.

A N o pportunity having presented itself of negociating with A L the Proprietors of the Varteg, Iron Works, near Ponti. pant In Monmouthshire, for the purchase- of those Works -on terms which are calculat ed to yield a highly remunerative re turn, and a careful and deliberate survey and examination having been made by persons of the highest competency, an agreement has been entered into for the purchase, contingent upon a Joint Stock Company being forum% for the purpose of carrying on the concern. ' The terms of the purchase are grounded not open the existing high prices of Iron, but upon those which may be expected on an average of years. The Works are at the present time in active and profitable °pet :lion. producing at the rate of about 18,000 tons of Iron yearly, a large proportion of which is. manafactured upon the premises into wrought !ron Rails end Bars . There are fi ve Furnaces in blast, and there is engine power capable of work ing an additional number. The Works at present give employ ment to about 1,500 persons. The distance from Newport (the Shipping Port) is under 14 miles by easy railway and water carriage, and it will appear by the register of the 'Monmouth ., shire and Glamorganshire Canals, that there are but four Works - in . South Wales which equal the Varteg in the am ount of produce. A part of the Estate is Freehold, and the remainder held on Lease at moderate Rents. For the purpose of raising a Capital for the payment of the purchase money and carrying on the Works, it is proposed to create 6,000 Shares of £5O cads, upon which £lO per Share will be paid as a Deposit; and, as the agreement binds the Vendors to accept the consideration money by easy instalments, . :the subsequent Calls upon the Shares will be limited to £ 5 each ;,,(.',all, and an interval of at least three months will elapse be ' lweeo each.

PULFORto; Secretary. FRIDAY MORNING, AUGUST 26, 1836. We are greatly indebted to the honourable zeal and truly independent feeling of the leading London conser vative press, for the handsome manner in which it has come forward and exposed the contemptible meanness, which led to the dishonourable publication of priv ccrrespondence, between some gentlemen, who, from purely patriotic motives, support the interest of this journal, and its late editor. Whilst we thank our friends, for having taken out of our hands the rather' ungracious task of being at once principals and judges in our own cause, we leave to our splenetic local com petitor the full benefit of that opinion, which the gent and respectable of our fellow-townsmen, and the country at large, will not fail to form npon its conduct, Despising its attempted rivalry, we inform our neigh bour champion of whiggery and radical dishonour, that disgraceful as we deem the breach of decorum, and the usages of respectable society in this instance, the LIVER POOL STANDARD will not be driven from its stern pro priety, by listening to the music of gnats, which carry no sting, but w!tat may be parried by a very small dis play of the weapon of common sense. And although we are, as it were, isolated, and at a distant corner of the kingdom, we may even walk over the Globe in spite of the temptations of Cupid ; and answer, with sound shot, the blank cartridge reports of old Molly Chronicle's brass gun, which was cracked in the foundry of the Strand, when PERRY GAVE VP THE GHOST I Were we to study our immediate personal feelings, standing as we do on the high vantage groun:l of princi ples sustained by truth, we should assuredly deem it en tirely beneath our notice to remark upon the presumptu deceit—the glaring hypocrisy and false argument, which at this time are heralded forth by the mean sycophantic dependants and hireling writers of a corrupt and imbecile government, in reference to the proceedings of an illus• trious assembly of upright. noble legislators, during the last seven months of inflexible devotion to the interests of this country, domestic and foreign,—but, having a stern public duty to perform in the free and needful ex position of deceit, chicanery, and falsehood, we shrink not from the task, however loathsomely disgusting, on the score of those personal motives, and that feeling of utter contempt, which, under other circumstances, it would be due to our own pride and our sense of self-re spect, stedfastly to entertain. That leviathan of the Whig radical press, (and v..e dis dain attention to the lower order of subordinate ma chines which follow in its wake,) yclept the Morning Chronicle, of Monday, whose ensign has as many hues as there are colours in the rainbow, armed with itsbrazen gun, lauded forth the contemptible display of " cackle goose Hume"—the farthing rush-light feelosopher, for his last performance at the Westminster pit, wherein this worthy-of all the worthies arrogantly pretended, or af fected to represent what he impudently called " the opi nion of the House of Commons" on the obstruction given by the 'Lards to Ole coarse of refoim?egistadon through out the late parliamentary session. Alas! poor old Whig Chrony—how miserably art thou fallen from thy pedestal since the days when Perryian Spruce* sustained with something like credit thy wonted elevation in the circle of political gladiators ! How are the mighty fallen ! " Thine is the moral of all human tales,— 'Tis but the drear rehearsal of the past : First freedom, and then glory—when that fails, A vaiice—yice—corruption—barbarisin at last!" Such then, mighty Chronicle, is the history of thy ca reer ---thy would-be empire of the mighty press. " And History, with all her volumes vast, Hath but one page for thee—the record of thy shame !" The darling protege of this morning star of liberalism, now in its mental obscuration,—the braggart trumpeter of the Irish mendicant agitator, having, in the absence of his patron saint, taken up the cudgels against the House of Lords and essayed a tilt against the chosen knight of Lyndhurst, as the last act in the ever notable drama of ministerial humbug, and when no rival competitor would have the opportunity of a thrust in reply to his coarse antedeluvian logic, certainly needed an esquire, and ve rily he has found one, perfectly worthy of such a cham pion and such a cause. This Jeremy Diddler esquire in politics, then, in dire ful lamentation, that the official knight of "black rod" had prematurely rushed into the arena of demagogue-ism, and broken the lance of his trusty champion with the thunder of the royal summons has absolutely become desperate—if not ferccious, and prepared, in Malay phrase, to "run a muck" with the cr•eese of libel, against the conservative Lords and their supporters out of doors. * Mr, Perry was the highly talented editor of the Morning t C/?rotlicle:i darir g w any years of the most important period of ourpplitcat history—a consistent whig—a scholar, and 'a gen '. I, lezunly D Now, as it may-not be so well known to valiant Middle ,sex Joey and his worthy esquire, as it is to us, that amongst the Malays he who runs "a muck" is generally shot or cut down in his maddened career, we warn them that, following the example of our Malay friends, we shall giye them " no quarter," (nor do we ask for any at their hands) in their run, short or long as it may be, according to the efforts made by our well armed constitutional as sociates, to shoot or cut them down, in co-operation with our humble, but honest, zeal for the protection of our fellow men ! We have, in our last number, recommended one of these keen-sighted champions of modern whiggery, as a fit subject for the Middlesex County Lunatic Asylum, and the able skill of Doctor Alexander Morrison, its physician, (not the great hygeist, whose gamboge pill, "No. 2," might, nevertheless, be serviceable as an aux iliary) to which useful institution we understand our friend Joey is a liberal contributor; and as there may be a ward set apart for hydrophobic patients, objects of great popular dread in these days, and as the two unfortunates before us have evident symptoms of the distressing ma lady in a political and equally dangerous form, we give it as our unqualified opinion, that they, in particular, should not be allowed to go at large, at any rate, unmuz zled, amongst his most gracious Majests's rational lieges! Vain would it be for us to attempt a systematic answer to the illogical balderdash which is put forth in support and illustration of the finale of the wondrous parlia mentary—the patriotic deeds of the pounds, shillings and pence advocate of Whig ministerial incapacity and his associates, in the late lengthened and (for the people) triumphantly successful struggle against the demon of unbridled democracy,—worthy to be put in juxta posi tion with the mighty saving of twelve pounds ten shil lings per annum on the salary of a aubordinate officer in our own Town-council as shown up in our last! " Chopping logic with a soldier," (although many soldiers would bang our logicians hollow) has long been considered infra dig,—we therefore, boldly contradict in limine and deny the viracity of the premises, urged against the Peers, sustained, as they are by mere vague allegations, unsupported by a tittle of sound evidence, and point to our own already-published retrospect of the doings and undoings of the Worshipful and the mighty amongst the Whig• radico-papistiko-con federates for the session of 1836,—arduous, protracted, and, gene rally speaking, nationally unprofitable, as that session has been, in verification of our assertion, supported as we are by the brilliant exposition of Monday, furnished by our Conservative London contemporaries of the Times, Standard, Herald, and Morning Post,—the be nefit of whose corroborating opinions we were not in possession of, and could hardly have anticipated, when we essayed our own humble defence of the second estate of the realm, and of the Church and the Monarchy, in immediate connexion with its acts. The Morning Chro nicle, then . ,—in its championship of a false philosophy and a fallacious system of republican reformation, sup ported by its long tail of admiring waning satellites— et hoc genus omne, may take this for part of our answer. One notable passage of the worthy Chronicle's prosy effort is sufficient for our concluding purpose,—it forms the wind-up of that mental hallucination which is so pal pably displayed with regard to our governing system,— a series of balancing power, operating as checks and counterchecks, arresting the undue rise of aristocracy on the one band, and the impassioned influence of democracy on the other,—whilst, under the firm and judicious wield ing of the Peers, the designed oligarchy of the Whigs has been crumbled into dust. In charity we come to this ' conclusion.; for if we are to give the Morning Chronicle full credit for judgment and sincerity in asserting its positions—then, indeed, it at once openly advocates principles utterly at variance with reform—yea, even the juste millieu reform of the Whigs themselves—it pro claims a monarchy with absolute republican institutions, and by rendering the House of Peers strictly democratic, and dependent on the popular control, labours purely to make the former elective. This would assuredly be a splendid termination of the march of liberalism, proposed for our approbation,—and, upon its own elucidation, this jacobinical asserter of " fair play " might (and probably would) have the honour of being grand vampire of poli tical disquisition to the Annual President or Dictatiar ! For the justice of our inferences let our readers ponder the following specious display of rhetoric,—it sums up the sublime vapouring of our London jesuitical competitor —the leading organ of all "The Talents." " This, then, is to be the watch-word of the country— Reform the House of Lords !' without which all the re. form is illusory. When the people of these kingdoms are determined on the reform of the Lords, that body must yield. The voice of an united people is irresisti ble" ! Deeply profound ! There is an old French pro verb, that " Fools make feasts and wise men eat them"—so take care of your Reform Feast, good Lady Chronicle, for we may help to devour it. " Reform of the House of Lords"—is that really the watch-word, my jewel ? Why, then there are two watch-words, for our dear cousin O'Rafferty of Derrynane, says that, " down wid Toryism" is the word for " the boys' shillaloo!" What glorious rivalry is here! But to be serious friend Chrony—you say when the people " are"—aye, that's the rub—when the people are determined, that the Lords " must yield !" Must they indeed ? Verily your sapient goosequill must bespatter better logic, and more substantial reasons, than your last Monday's tirade exhibits before you get the "are" of the time pre sent, to assist your sanguine hopes of an assault on the fine entrenchments of the hereditary legislators—credat qui vult ! But the " united people," and we pray to be informed where this body is to be found—certainly not in the disorderly gang of incongruous elements, you falsely honour with the name of "people." Why, at all events, there is a powerful minority against you, even in your own radically popular House of Commons, and a far stronger party of wealth and intellect without, also arrayed against your hypothesis. What then, in the name of common honesty and of common sense too, becomes of your united people? Away with such super.. ficial bombast—such pedantry—the gulibility of John Bull is indeed proverbial, but a Gull be must be to swallow such contemptible jargon as you offer for the satisfaction of his too credulous appetite—whilst the cackle of the Goose not being required for " the preser vation of the capitol," its hissing against the, well spurned heel of Lyndhurst, will form an excellent sub ject for the Satire of " H. B." in his next " Penoll4lg by the Way," for the well earned amusement of the in dependent, Peers. Shillaloo for Chrony and Goosey ! Down with the Lords and up with the tail ! The Irish cabinet of catholics—the anti-national con clave—are pursuing with inveterate activity their plans for the final overthrow of the established church, the peerage, and the monarchy, under the guise of securing increased parliamentary interest, and by means of ,the registration to return an increased number of radical destructives and popish demagogues to that house, where they hope to obtain at least the semblance of law for their proceedings. The " rint," we are told, weekly improves, and, as we have already intimated, money is an important article in all negotiations, nefarious or honest, they think they have at last found the lever which they can successfully use to raise the foundation stones of our protestant institutions. This confidence, however, betrays them into precipitancy ; they have already shown the cloven foot, and began the work of demolition, in threat at least, before reaching the yet established sanctuary, and thus will, we should hope, effectually rouse its lukewarm defenders ere its fate be sealed and its destruction inevitable. Do we appeal to protestant hearts in vain ? Are any of them still insen sible to the common danger which surrounds them ? or do they imagine that our warnings are founded upon rhetorical fiction, an impassioned feeling of the brain, the result of strong prejudices and warm predilections in favour of our national church ? Let them mark the con sequences if they now perform the part of apathy. Let them remember the solemn injunction of that merciful Redeemer of the - world, who emphatically said, " He that is not with me, is against me ; and he that gathereth not with me, scattereth." Still, after aIJ, we are not so angry with the, crafty proceedings of this " justice.rint" squad as - we are with those who, professing utter disgust with the barbarian work of agitation, yet quietly look on and suffer it to progress, with nothing pi esented as an obstructive but the soft expression of 'a sigh; whilst the most heart-stir ring appeals that talent can invent and energy proclaim are made to them continually ; whilst men of worth and capital are hourly driven from the land, and the fair voice of nature herself is disturbed, artfully disturbed, that the pockets of the "blatant agitator," as the Times so ap propriately designates the great arch jesuit, may be filled in proportion with the extent of misery created. It is the duty of every man who ranks himself a christian to come forward boldly, and by his strenuous, his.unflinch ing exertion, in person and in influence, to arrest this moral tyranny, which spreads like a corroding cancer on the feelings of an unlettered and prejudiced population, to the utter destruction of all social ties, all bonds of friendship, all veneration fur religion, and all respect for constituted law. Do we overcharge the picture of ills ? Let us hear what Mr. Freslifield, M.P., an upright and independent English commoner, says on the point in question—a gentleman who would cheerfully have con tributed his own capital to improve Irish property :—" It is my solemn conviction that agitation is the moral pestilence of Ireland, and. is working destruction in the political and social happiness of the country. It is a war against property, life, and religion. It is a cowardly system inviting the many to persecute the few; it in• flicts upon the people of Ireland the misery of a conta gion, which, while it is preying upon them, keeps at a distance those who would afford them help, and the very poverty which it produces increases their readiness to become the dupes and instruments of demagogues." This is our argument, and, acting upon its superior intelligence and its acute reasoning, we promise the papistal agitators a very small share of forbearance at our hands. If there be one question more than another of pressing —of paramount importance, it is the question of final adjudication and settlement of the compensation claims, under the Apprenticeship Emancipation Act, and the concurrent co-operation therein of the local legislature of our West Indian Colonies, together with the estab lishment of those necessary adjuncts for the instruction, police, and future regulation of the "apprentice popu lation," arising out of this measure of complex and conflicting legislation. And here, indeed, we have another splendid specimen, if the multiplication of specimens were necessary to open our eyes, to the refinement of Whig policy.—So anomalously contradictory, and, in many instances, im practicable, were the provisions of this famous boon, which has so suddenly deranged the tenure of property in the whole of our West Indian possessions, and upset the accustomed usages of local jurisprudence, that one perpetual scene of contention, distrust, and embittered feeling, has been the almost universal result, between the governors and the governed, from the first promul gation of the new law in the Islands. We make no reference here to the abolition of cor poral punishment, with regard to the black population, under the old system, because the system itself was inde fensible, by any plea of justice, both as regarded the perpetuity of slavery itself, and the inhumanity under which obedience was enforced, frequently by an irre sponsible power, or one not sufficiently independent and impartial. All that We contend for is, that the measure of relief has been bunglingly inefficacious, both as " regards the improvement of the morale of the negro population, and highly unsatisfactory to the planters, — whilst it entailed a burthen of twenty millions sterling on the mother country." We are fully borne out in the justice of these remarks by that important document, "The Memorial of the House of Assembly in Jamaica," recently presented to his Majesty, and our earlier atten tion to which, has been prevented by the pressure of questions of domestic policy, daily crowding on our at tention. This memorial distinctly charges his Majesty's present government (for with them the responsibility lies) with positive and direct unconstitutional interference with the rights of the Colonists, in the proceedings of their domestic legislature. It has become our duty to investi gate how far this grave charge was sustained, and in doing so, we have felt it necessary, not only to read through the Memorial of the House of Assembly with close attention, but also to refer to the Act of the British Legislature, on those points embracing specifically the matters of complaint, and of allegation contained in the said memorial; and we are constrained to come to the conclusion, that the memorialists have made out a prima facie case of great partiality and oppressive interference against his Majesty's government, even with regard to those local acts passed by the Assembly itself in aid of the measures of the Imperial Parliament. The Memorialists distinctly establish a prescriptive right of exercising the power of propounding and framing all laws for the internal regulation of the Island, and that the principle has been maintained from the earliest periods of the history of the Colony, supported by repeat ed recognised Acts of the Legislature, and guaranteed by his Majesty's illustrious predecessors and their repre sentatives. Upon the whole, it is impossible not to per ceive that partial one-sided legislation has been the aim of the government at home, evidently for the purpose of courting popularity, at the expence of the feelings and the independence of the colonist slave proprietors ; with out a due regard to their feelings, pecuniary interests and property, and with, on the part of the governor, a vexatious course of contumely, highly derogatory from that truly lofty bearing, which should characterize a Nobleman of the Marquis of Sligo's rank and pretensions, and entirely unworthy the representative of the kindly paternal feelings of the Sovereign, towards a wealthy loyal, and highly influential portion of British subjects. His Majesty is made to express in his speech to his " faithful Commons," his gratification "at the provi sion made for the full amount of compensation to the owners of slaves in his colonies ;" but, not one word of this heavy complaint—it was more convenient to pass it over sub:silentio ! We have already declared our dis dain of the proffered boon of parasites, held up to us at home by the time-serving crew, who have no principle or rule of action but the gratification of temporary vanity, or the promotion of self interest. We shall also feel it our duty to sustain' the constitutional -inter ests of our fellow-countrymen in the West Indian colo nies,- the local usages of which are thoroughly --well known to us ; and whilst we are resolved to further the cause of humanity and religion (which are inseparable) on the one hand, we will accept nothing on the other in the shape of a sop from that parricidal policy, which regu lates the actions of those in power, nor allow our vene rated King to be degraded in his person, office, and dignity, by those who have assumed the right of repre senting them, with impunity. We leave to others to benefit by the destruction of all those principles which have upheld our father-land in honour and in prosperity ; and we rejoice to find that they are so strongly im planted in the colonies—retained in the minds and hearts of Englishmen, verifying the fine sentiment of the Roman— " Creium non animum mutant, qui transmare current." The fond attachment to the nasiie country—the endearing reminiscences of kindred association with her laws—her usages, and, above all, her constitutional in dependence, so warmly expressed in this elegantly and temperately written document, are soul-stirring, and do honour to its framers. It is not our object to exaggerate the losses which the moderating code has inevitably oc casioned, and submitted for the adoption of the colonial legislature, nor to defend slavery. To have rendered the slaves at once free, would have been a robbery—to have continued them in indefinite bondage, a disgrace. A mean between the two extremes became the duty of parliament, and the faithful, unprejudiced, impartial ex ecution of that assigned duty by the executive, will alone satisfy humanity—give security to property—ameliorate the remainder of a servitude which, however to be re gretted, is indispensible, where free labour cannot be successfully employed, and cement in the indissoluble bonds of equity, justice, and mercy, the feelings and the interests of the mother country, and the various clas• ses of inhabitants in her West Incliln colonies.. That finesse, the object of which is to appease particular principles, so that adverse opinions may approximate, till harmony results, is congenial with the pure spirit of whiggistn, and its crafty diplomacy, and it has shown its value in the executive, by bringing the House of As Sem* in Jamaica into collision with the edicts of the Imperial Parliament. In the midst of all this we are told by the apologists for all the miscarriages and blunders of vhig rule, that there is no occasion fur all this serious alarm relative to the affairs of Jamaica, that his Majesty's government are resolved (qu. under the sleepy activity of the colonial grand Secretary ?) " to carry out the great principle of slave emancipation under the apprentice law," and that " dangers are usually exaggerated, when danger first appears." Really this information is truly important aod instructive, especially so to the inhabitants of the crowded metropolis and the people of Great Britain, where the cries of Fire! fire !—of Murder !—Thief ! et cetera, seldom produce more than temporary alarm, but totally inapplicable to a West Indian state of society. We, however, will neither let the temporising views of the BuXtons—the parsimony of the Humes—the false philosophy of the Bowrings—the aireal boundings of the Roebucks—nor the vapid liberatisin of the Ewarts, Wakley's, or Tommy Duncombe's mistily our honest English readers, with regard to the true position of our colonial interests. The ministry of the Estatuto Real—the juste millieu of M. Isturiz, is no more! Calatrava, who was de nounced by the administration of Torreno, in 1835, and who was compelled to fly, when his friend, Aicano Ga liano, was imprisoned, and even Istutiz sought safety in flight, is called to the councils of the hapless Queen Re gent. This, then, is the happy destiny : for Spain, notice of which our Secretary of State for Foreign Affairs so benificently presented to Mr. Maclean, a few short weeks back, when that gentleman sought the information which, as an independent member of the British Parliament, he was entitled to receive in his place in the House of Cum- mons ! Well, Calatrava, then, rules over the distracted affairs of this yet more distracted country for the moment. The Queen has surrendered even the outward showof mo narchical rule. The wild elements, miscalled a " con stitution," howl over Madrid, and hover over the empire. It is impossible as yet to conjecture what impressive effect this march of anarchy will produce to the interests of Don Carlos—or rather of Charles the Fifth, unques tionably, waiving all religious prejudices, the legitimate sovereign and rightful heir to the throne of Spain, by the prescriptive ancient law of its monarchy. As to Cala trava himself, he can no more ride on the whirlwind, nor control the storm of those furious elements of political discord with which he is surrounded, than any one of his truly unhappy predecessors. He who knew human na ture and all its imperfections, human and mental, said "the divided house will not stand." Here, in reality, is a divided house, and why so ?—because it is destitute of a governing head ; nor is there at present any prospect that a purely popular or even passive moral revolution can restore the balance,—a perfect military despotism appears the inevitable result. The great question to be considered now, is what the powers of Europe will do under this new and dreary as pect of things —will France interfere decidedly, or wil she recognise an ultra liberal constitution—the detesta tion of the King of the barricades ? There is great reason for coming to the conclusion that France will not interfere by direct intervention, from all the information we can obtain; and that even the intrigues of M. Men dizabal, assisted by a powerful party of the speculative and monied interests in France, have brought about this popular revolution, under colour of establishing the con stitution of 1812, and thereby restoring the crafty finan cier to his lost influence and power. One thing is cer tain—the honour of this country requires to be sustained by a very different policy to that hitherto pursued by the talents, who may bless their stars that the fortuitous pro rogation of parliament has put a temporary shield over their actions, and prevented their being called to account for their tortuous policy. The press—at least, the con servative press—will do its duty, by.keeping a vigilant look out after Messieurs les Burreaux et leur valets. Let Messrs. Isturiz, Calatrava, and Mendizabal, and even Louis Phillippe le Grande, adjust their differences amongst themselves; but lit not the honour of the Bri tish arms be tarnished, nor the credit of the British name degraded, by an obstinate perseverance in that pusillani mous course, which has mainly contributed to entail on Spain her present political misery ; and which a firm and becoming attitude on the part of Britain might, and would, in all rational probability, have averted. We anxiously await the result of further intelligence, re lating to the events in the provinces. The news from France in the Paris papers of last Mon day is devoid of any ma rked interest, the French . capital enjoyed a pathetic tranquillity, undisturbed by the state of affairs in Spain, although M. Thiers had been com pletely beaten on the question of an armed intervention, and the march of the " ten thousand," postponed by the mere sound of the artillery of the constitution of 1812. A telegraphic despatch from Madrid of the 17th, an nounced the death of M. De Rayneval on the day pre ceding, at half-past six o'clock in the evening, of a pul monary affection, accompanied with gout in the head. It is also stated that the same despatch brought intelli gence of the entry of the two Queens into Madrid on the 17th, and that the city was in a state of tranquillity ! From Bayonne information had been received, that General Lebeau, the newly appointed officer to the cotn mand of the French foreign legion, had attacked the Carlists, and driven them from Engui upon the Bastan, and the Ulzama, and destroyed their magazines ; but of the veracity of this intelligence there is great doubt, as the other news furnishes an account of Lebeau's arrival, but states nothing on the subject of any action having been fought. Poor radical Evans has been to Bayonne, to procure money to pay the grenadiers: but he had to march back with empty pockets. We really would advise the hero of the Globe to proceed to his assistance forth with with an adequate supply of eau de Cologne, as gun powder and bayonets appear to have entirely lost their martial efficacy. THE THEATRE-ROYAL.—We are prevented from press of matter from giving any lengthened notice of the theatre this week. Hackett, the celebrated American actor, has been en gaged, and has performed during the week in several of his best pieces. We have only room to-adsl,--tha4le.givee a-living and inimitably natural representation of all the peculiarities and Jonatbanisms of our neighbours across the Atlantic, of which Mrs. Trollope and other commentators have given so many descriptions. The house has been crowded each night by de lighted auditories. PRESENTATION OF PLATE.—On Tuesday, the 16th instant, a handsome silver tea-pot and salver was presented by Mr. Thos. Sammond on behalf of a committee of members of the Liver pool Friendly Society formed for the purpose of preparing a suitable testimonial to John Parr, Esq., the senior surgeon of that association. The plate bore an appropriate inscription, testifying the high opinion entertained by the members of the value of Mr. Parr's professional services during the period of fourteen years which be had officiated in that capacity. The gift was received in a manner which proved that Mr. Parr felt the compliment in its full value; and we trust that the testi monial will have the intended effect of uniting in the closest friendship the members of the association and their experienced professional assistant. CUBE OF DEAFNESS.—We understand that the celebrated aurist, Mrs. Gardner, will remain a month in Liverpool. Her success in treating deafness, on her former visits to this town, cannot fail of recommending her to the notice of the public. We understand that Mr. Downing, surgeon aurist, Member of the Royal College of Surgeons of London, is at present con sulted on diseases of the ear, at 53, Rodney-street, in this town, where be is expected to remain for a short time. THEATRICAL.—MaIibran intends to pay Ireland and Scot land a professional visit, after the Manchester and Liverpool festivals, accompanied, it is said, by Templeton and t wo or three other vocalists, in order to perform "Fidelio," " Som. nambula," "The Maid of Artois,' &c. At some of the princi pal towns favourite Italian operas will be performed, arrange ments for accomplishing which are now in progress. Mr. W. Jones has not taken Covent-garden, as was reported, but he bas entered into an engagement with Mr. Bunn to have the use of Drury-lane theatre three nights in the week, from Octo ber the l'ith, fnr the purpose of performing tragedies, in which Mr. Forrester, the celebrated American actor, is to sustain the principal parts. Mr. Jones will have the option of relinquish ing the agreement at the end of the first week, or continuing it to the end of the season. The other three nights will be devoted chiefly to operas.—Standard. Ground has been taken at Park-terrace, Leeds, at the top of Park-row, on which a catholic chapel is to be erected, awl a mansion fur a catholic bishop. The pedestal of the equestrian statue of his Majesty George 111., in Pall-mall East, has been inclosed with an iron railing, and the whole has a very good effect. Administration was on Wednesday taken out to the effects of the late Mr. Rothschild in Great Britain, which were sworn to be under Li,:gh),oooeterling, and the• prebate duty ameuuted• to £15,0001 Al 5 13 UST 26 1836. TO M. T.' BLACKBURNE Si do not address you for the purpose of answering your " Defence," nor in order to vindicate Mr. M'Neile, nor to as sume new or old positions of argument against the education system that you so strenuously endeavour to uphold.. My ob ject is to show you, that your wisest course would be to receive and act upon the kind advice already given, "Ne sutor ultra crepidam, and endeavour to rest satisfied with the laurels that you have gathered in the council chamber. You are evidently essaying to move in armour that You have not proved. You acknowledge, with a good grace, that your biblical criticism is "second hand." I sincerely hope, for your own sake, that the information displayed in your pamphlet is of an equally " se cond hand" character. I should be sorry to impute to you, without sufficient evidence, the " devout fraud" of knowingly deceiving the public by ungrounded assertions, but I cannot free you from the "virtuous delusion" of undertaking to write upon subjects with which you are altogether unacquainted. Some remarks in your " Defence" might have led us to hope that you would have avoided the evil you su much deprecate. You say, " before men had gone the lengths that have been re sorted to on this s u bj ec t, it was but fair to make themselves quite sure that the ground on which they stood was quite te nable ;" and again, "few things are more deserving of con temptuous and sarcastic reproof than unfounded pretensions to learning." When a decided opinion is advanced we are in duced to imagine that the writer or speaker "is quite sure that the ground on which he stands is tenable." In order that h,4 may be sure of it, there ought to have been a careful investiga tion. The firmness of assertion is founded either on knowledge or on pretensions to knowledge. If the opinion be formed on sound knowledge of the subject it will yeadily evolve its proofs, and show its reasons—if it have been puffed up by "unfounded pretensions" to knowledge, then it is only "deserving, of con temptuous and sarcastic reproof." As you have volunteered to serve in the forlorn hope of the Irish system, you cannot be offended if the feeblest as well as the mightiest—the least known as well as those who are most prominent—should adventure to meet you on ground of your own selection. You make severe complainings of the uncere monious manner in which Mr. M'Neile has treated your speech. You consider the reception given to your conciliatory harangue to be an act of direct personal aggression. " Mr. M'Neile has thought fit," you say, "to treat me with a degree of personal rudeness, not very consistent with the dictates of gentlemanly propriety." In your haste to throw off from your mind the un easy sensation of "thoughts that burn, and words that glow," you quite forget that you have not proved your assertion, that Mr. M'Neile had treated you with a degree of personal rude ness." It seems as if you had yet to learn that a public speech becomes public property. Every man is at liborty to make his comments upon it. A wincing conscience will convert criti cism into personality, and would fain cover the confusion of , defeat, by endeavouring to elicit compassion by the whinings and wailings of wounded feelings. But, sir, it was to be hoped that your Own suffertrileatwould have taught you to compassionate the feelings or others. • The . most delicate sentiments towards others ought to have character ised your " defence," when you were enduring such exquisite nervousness, because of an imaginary " personal rudeness." And does your pamphlet exhibit an extraordinary carefulness to avoid even the semblance of " personal rudeness ?" Is there no just ground of complaint against yourself for " violating the dictates of gentlemanly propriety? What construction are we to put on these expressions respecting Mr. M'Neile. " Con necting this piece of uncalled fur impertinence, in advising me to mind my own business"—" he has most disingenuously con cealed it"—" traducer." "Hyperion to a Satyr. Party spirit must have rendered a man all but absolutely rabid, or he could never have indulged in such a presumptuous and profane per version of scripture. And is this the man who is to give the tone to public opinions in Liverpool ? I trust not"—" the meanness to insinuate"—" usual sneering manner." Loath ing from my inmost soul the spurious affectation of delicacy that pervades Mr. M'Neile's speech, and thinly veils the tierce malignity that lurks beneath it, I shall not hesitate in plain terms, to avow my conviction that he did notbelieve me to have any such intention, and that when he first uttered, and after wards sanctioned the publication of this passage, he knew it to contain a vile and . unprincipled calumny." "He would be able to supply the vacuum occasioned by the death of Charles Matthews." These, sir, are a few specimens culled oat of your " melange." No doubt you would endeavour to persuade us that they do not treat Mr. M'Neile " with a degree of personal rudeness, not very consistent with the dictates of gentlemanly propriety." Ido not quote them for the purpose of insulting Mr. 11PN eile's character, by even denying their applicability to him. He will shake them from him "as dew-drops from the lion's mane," and leave his traducer, like all other insects of a day, to sport over and perish in the corruption that engendered them. Lpon you they ought forcibly to impress the advice, Ne sutor ultra crepidam, by teaching you that when you do not "mind your own business," you expose yourself to the temptation of losing your temper in your vain attempts to flounder through subject" -, for the investigation of which you are not at present competent. But you say that " every sober-minded man will regard " Mr. M'Neile's" graphic grouping of the children and the clergy as a despicable piece of Tom-foolery, disgraceful alike to him who produced and to those who applauded; mournfully inconsistent with the gravity and solemnity of the subject under' discussion, and calculated to grieve rather than to delight. all . those who wish to see the teachers of religion respected and re spectable." What language then, sir, can be sufficiently ex pressive of our abhorrence of the wit that exercises itself with the words of scripture? In what terms can we describe the in dividual who could mix up profane witticisms with a punning remark upon one who bad not provoked the attack ? With what words of indignant censure shall we rebuke the man who wrote the note on the second page of your pamphlet? Have not, " political feelings been in some de g ree at w o rk" in the mind o' him who penned it ? "is it the genuine offspring of enlight ened principle ?" Are there not in it " spiteful allusions to, and sneers" at toryism ? Does it not afford sufficient evidence that the feeling of supreme reverence for the word of God was dormant iu the bosom of its writer? And does it not lead us to suspect that his religion is of that "second-hand" characters which brings into strong exercise the eneres of the mind , whilst th e fib res o f the heart remain totally. unmoved? Oh sir, we dare not use the words " despicable : " or " disg rac eful Tom-foolery" in feference t o suc h a no t e , b u t we are com pelled to say that it is " mournfully inconsistent" with the principle of professed subjection to the gospel of the Lord „tee... curies. I now proceed to point out your utter incompetency for the work that you have undertaken. You have gained, rapppose• some trilling celebrity amongst your own party. Your speech and succeeding pamphlet evince that you are considered the great bulwark of the Education Committee. We may, then , reasonably conclude that you have brought up your best and most learned endeavours to the "Defence." I candidly con fess to you that your speech and pamphlet appear to me as Sr! little deserving of notice, that I would not move my pen against, them were it not for the consideration that some might be in duced to receive your unfounded assertions as solidly-p , rovr truths. My own heart bears me witness before Him we ° , searcheth the heart and reins " that I undertake to-point o ut your errors, not for the contemptible purpose of exalting m`'" self, but to show you that your measure of information Is t"'" scanty to act as a safe gu?de, either to yourself or otherf; through the various subjects glanced at in your "Defence . At page 8, you write thus of our private schools :—" They are admirably calculated to nouri s h th e fi erce an d haughty sectari anisin which is the natural tendency of all religious establi sh ments to engender. By d raw i ng up, as it were, the differe nt sections of the community into hostile battallions—frowni n g defiance and scowling hatred upon one another from their in fancy—they too often succeed in sowing the seeds of dissens i° ' and confusion, and i n p o i son i ng and embittering all the inter courses of life.

Legal establishments of religion are ess el l tially tyrannical and persecuting.
