TO CORRESPONDENTS. No official return has been publisher! of Mr. Entwisle's ma jority on the first day's polling', but the most authentic sources state it to have been 427. We are unable to find room for even an acknowledgment of the communications with w ;ich several correspondents bave favoured us. We hope to be mo e fortunate next week. rbt Zibcrpool 4'tantiarl3. TUESDAY MORNING, JUNE 18, 1844. Day by day something astounding or ludicrous, or a mixture of both, is sure to reach us from the sister country, to relieve the tedium which we should otherwise feel in this dull land of ours. But we have had nothing recently half so awfully amus ing as a document, which is now before us, entitled the " Declaration of the Right Worshipful the Mayors and other Members of Provincial Corpora tions, assembled at the mansion of O'Connell in Mcrrion-square, Dublin, on Thursday, June 13th, 1844, on the state of Ireland." Punch in his gravest humours, was never so awe-inspiring, or, in his wittiest, so fun-provoking, as their " right-wor shipful," the be-titled tailors, grocers, butter-curers, and haberdashers of " provincial corporations," thus in privy-council assembled, "en the State of Ireland"; and it would not greatly astound us to see, as the result of this declaration of the fruit of their compound and corporate meditations, the downfal of Sir Robert Peel's administration, the re lease of O'Connell and his fellow-convicts, the repeal of the Union, a debtor and creditor account of the receipts and expenditure of the repeal rent, or anything which can be imagined equally far-off and improbable. Let us, however, seriously, if we can, endeavour to lay before our English readers the substance of this extraordinary manifesto of these right-worshipful wiseacres. in substance, thus runs the document. Having been refused permission to convert the prison of a convicted conspirator into a semi-royal levee, and being big with the importance of having been chosen to bear to that conspirator the greetings of the Romish priesthood, and its dupes and slaves in their various localities—an honor not quite equal to that enjoyed by a postman's horse, who carries far more important matters every day, and carries them quite as discreetly and intelligently—their most " wor- shipful" take the huff and, in ruffled mood, de nouncing the entire proceedings against their fa- vourite patriot as unjust and unconstitutional, pro ceed to put on record, as theirs,(!) " this most so lemn and conscientious declaration," which we take the liberty of giving verbatim, with as few interja culatory observations as we can avoid. " That the state trials, and their result, have produced in the great communities, with which we are connected, and throughout the whole country, a strong apprehension that life, liberty, and property cannot be safe so long as an administration so hostile to the national sentiments, and so obnoxious to the people, continues in power. " That if anything could increase the popular exaspera tion, it is this : that on the one hand the most oppressive measures have been resorted to, under the forms of law— on the other, ministers have been deluding the Irish na tion, by holding out, even in the speech from the throne, nopes of a just extension of its electoral rights, at the very time that they contemplated the introduction of the measure, now before parliament, which if it become law will almost annihilate the miserable franchise which we now possess." Thus far we have restrained ourselves ; but there is something so excessively impudent in this last paragraph, that we must say a few words, in the shape of running commentary, or rather running contradic tion. Ministers have never deluded the Irish nation by holding out to them any hope of what would be a " just extension" of the franchise, in the eyes of these worthy and right-worshipful people. From their first entrance upon the government they have been pledged to the duty of placing the franchise upon a sound basis—upon the basis of property or rating, rather than upon one which encourages fraud and perjury. They are endeavouring to do this—we wish, by the bye, they were a little more energetic in the work—and it is rather an odd and indecent proceeding for those men to talk of the present measure " annihilating the miserable fran chise" now existing in Ireland, whose idol pur chased his own and their parliamentary and official existence by the sacrifice of the forty-shilling free holders of Ireland. But we proceed with our quo tation : "That an administration which pledged itself to main tain in its full enormity the monster grievance of a church establ , shment in Ireland can never - be countenanced by the Irish people." But, bear in mind, most worshipful, that no other ministry but one which so pledges itself can ever be countenanced by the English people! And remem ber, moreover, that, as there is a Church, so there are Churchmen in Ireland herself, who are prepared to defend that Church, which Popery and the ruffianism of Popish corporations term a " monster grievance," with their blood!. Radicalism, with Popery combined, has not been enabled to put it down ; and Sir Robert Peel, even, were he willing, should not he permitted to injure a stone of its sacred fabric. It is not, therefore, a ministry but a nation, which is denounced by these paltry digni taries in the paragraph before us. The remaining portion of the declaration, being the ordinary rabbish upon stilts, in which such declaimers deal, we give without remark : " That notwithstanding much hollow professions, we see no attempt made to relieve the prevailing distress — we expect for the rack-rented peasantry no alleviation of their misery, nor for our starving labourers any general employment, and all that can be looked for from the boasted land commission of this anti-Irish administration is a tardy report, from which no practical benefit is likely to arise. " That while we thus deliberately declare our opinion that the continuance in power of the present administra tion is irreconcileable with the well being of Ireland—still we are daily more thoroughly convinced that the liberties, the franchises, and the social prosperity of the people can not be effectually or at all secured under any administra tion, without giving to the Irish nation a participation in its government by the establishment of its own parlia ment." We may add, that the above is signed by the mayor and four aldermen of Cork city ; the mayor and eight aldermen and councillors, the treasurer and town-clerk of Limerick city; the mayor and five aldermen and councillors of Waterford city ; the mayor and eighteen aldermen and councillors of Kilkenny city ; the mayor and eight aldermen and councillors of Clonmell town ; the mayor and twelve aldermen and councillors of Drogheda town; four town commissioners of Galway town ; three town councillors of Ennis town; two town commissioners of New Ross town; one of Carrick-on-Suir, three of Kell's town, and one of Fethard town. On another occasion perhaps we shall endeavour to inform our readers what are the stations and the characters of these men; but at present we must confine our selves to more important matters. In the first place, then—its absurdity aside— what are the reflections induced by this document? We were told long ago that the reformed (!) muni cipal corporations of Ireland were to be " normal W sc hools of agitation." Why, th e y are b ecom i ng more than this! The assembled tailors, whiskey dealers, pig and bacon merchant s , o f Li mer i ck, and elsewhere, are now a pi ng t h e Cork, Clonmel , legislative —dictating to the Parliament of the nation its duties, and proclaiming to the Sovereign of the nation, " thus far shalt thou go and no farther 1" These men were elected to perform merely muni cipal duties ; to select " the most desartless man to be constable ;" to determine the width, depth, and breadth of sewers ; to " comprehend rogues" and scent out nuisances. But on a sudden they are,be coming legislators for the entire empire—claim to select not only constables and watchmen, lamp lighters and scavengers, for their own dirty locali ties, hut also to decide upon the servants to whom her Majesty should submit the keeping of her crown, and the policy upon which she must govern her mighty empire! Men do this whose judg ment no schoolboy of twelve years of age would take upon the question whether the earth was round or square, the moon made of green cheese or sugar ; and yet the " declaration" of such men, upon subjects of national and social polity, the world is told to receive as something supernatural in its wisdom, and beyond all cavil as to its authorita tive character. Thanks, however, to the solid understanding of John Bull, the bubbles thrown up by these corpo rations of Ireland are only regarded as bubbles. A spade is a spade, in his honest and English estima tion ; and although it have the beggarly chains and trappings of corporate authority twined round its handle, that handle is still a handle and nothing more, whether it be held in the hands of Daniel O'Connell or the roughest shoveller of mud who ever worked in a mud-heap. The poor dupes who pay their pence to that impostor may worship them in their several localities ; buy their soap and far thing dips, their calico and treacle from them; but sensible people can only wonder and laugh at their absurd impertinence and superhuman folly. Our last remarks upon the Wallasey Dock Bill have called forth two of our contemporaries in de fence of the scheme ; and we must say, a greater perversion of facts and want of fair arguments or even understanding of the questions at issue, we never met with from any opponent. We shall briefly rebut the statements of one of these—the Liverpool limes—as they embrace those of his fellow advocate. The Times observes that Mr. Randall's plans are " approved of by the Admiralty, the Conservators and the Woods and Forests." To this statement we are compelled to give a flat denial. The Admiralty, so far as we are aware, have never put a decisive opi nion on record; but the Acting Conservator and the Woods and Forests have both recorded their opi nions, which may be appealed to and ascertained beyond all doubt. The Woods and Forests refused their assent to the original plans, and have appropriated to them selves nearly all the land to be reclaimed on each side of the tidal basin, except a narrow slip to be used as quay space, and they expressly stipulate that "no warehouses or other buildings, other than sheds and huts, shall be erected upon any of the said quays," thus overturning one of the most valued of the projects of the promoters of the scheme. Captain Evans, the Acting Conservator, has re corOed his opinions, and says (paragraph 12 of his report) " considers the objections to the refuge basin for coasters to be well founded ; that it is too small for the numerous coasters which take refuge on the banks at the entrance of Wallasey Pool.'' He says again (paragraph 14) " I find the objection to the alteration made in the line of the river to be well founded." This will suffice to show the nature of the statements put forth to the public about the approval of the plans by the government authorities. It is affirmed in the Times that the Counsel for the Dock Trustees durst not put a single question to Mr. Walker as to the effects the proposed works would have on the sea channels of the port; and to give weight to the assertion it is conveyed in italics. Now, if the writer had read the evidence, he would have found at page 278 that Mr. Walker, in answer to this very question, says, "It is not a question of how much the risk is, but a question of certainty, in my opinion ; and so far as the tidal water is reduced in quantity, the sea channels are in juriously interfered with." In the year 1826 also, when giving evidence on a trial at Lancaster, Mr. Walker gave precisely similar testimony, when it was proposed to abstract only 2 acres, 3 roods, and 14 perches from Tranmere Pool. Mr. Whidbey, an engineer of great eminence, gave very strong evidence to the same effect; and the result was an injunction from the L)rd Chancello r to restrain the parties making the enclosure. The injurious effects, therefore, to be apprehended to the navigation of the river by the abstraction of the tidal waters is no new feature, and has never before been doubted or controverted. Mr. Whidbey said, " The existence of the harbour of Liverpool, and the preservation of it, depend entirely on the back water."—Report of trial, page 16. The Times states that Mr. Giles, the great gun of the Dock Trustees, gave very different evidence 18 or 20 years ago, on the Tranmere embankment case, to that which he has given now on the Wallasey Dock Bill. We wish this writer had followed our example of giving the whereabouts, that we might test his assertions. We will do this for him, how ever,—and in justice to Mr. Giles, we will quote what he did say on that occasion. At page 9, the Counsel (Mr. Scarlett) put this question—" So that all Wallasey Pool may be walled out by means of a contraction of that soil without injury to the harbour ?" Answer.—" No; I do not state that." Question.—" A great part might ?" Answer.—" I think the water in Wallasey Pool ought to be preserved." So much for the veracity of the Times, and the fact of Mr. Giles being "a two-edged sword." We have before said the Wallasey scheme is a de lusion, impracticable, and fraught with danger to the best interests of Liverpool by endangering the navigation of the river. The real dock accommoda tion offered to the public amounts to three acres, with gates thirty feet wide, through which a mode- rate-sized cotton ship could not pass ; and it is pro posed to keep this and the tidal basin free from mud by daily scouring (Mr. Russell's evidence, p. 45-46) when the tidal waters cannot enter the upper pool ninety-nine days throughout the year! It has been asserted that Wallasey Pool is rapidly silting up, on the evidence of Mr. Tomkinson. Upon this (p. 234-235) Mr. Giles says, " Mr. Tomkinson, I suppose, takes it by the eye, and we take it by measure ; it is a remarkable coincidence, and aston ishes me, that the sections lately taken of the Pool by Mr. Page and Mr. Draine, should agree with mine, taken from 1819 to 1823, without any refer ence to me, or any concert with me. These are ex traordinary coincidences." We again wirn the inhabitants of the danger of permitting the tidal waters of our river to be ab stracted, and remind them that larger rivers than the Mersey have been closed, so far as the naviga tion is concerned. Sandwich, Rye, and Newhaven were all once flourishing ports, and are now monu ments of the folly of allowing such experiments to be tried as are proposed by the enclosure of Walla sey Pool. Sandwich was formerly of such conse quence as to be an outport to London. Montrose is another instance which may be adduced; in the year 1745 it was the harbour chosen by the French fleet for conveying supplies for the Pretender, and now, with the exception of the channel of the river, it is dry at low water Before we conclude let us for a moment call the attention of our readers to the present position of our river,—crowded with shipping of every descrip tion, every dock full ; and we ask, if Wallasey Pool -.~.-, THE LIVERPOOL sTANIIARD. be closed up, what is to become of our coasting craft ? Where are they to go for security and shel ter? We say emphatically there is no other place in the river capable of affording the required accom modation; and a very cursory examination of a map will satisfy any one on this score. We do say and insist that this great interest,—the coasting traders, which are the purveyors to all ships trading to for eign parts,—demands our most earnest attention and protection; we are bound to see those traders are not deprived of a right which they have enjoyed from all time, and which, to all intents and purposes, ought to be preserved to them inviolate, and not wrenched from their possession for any other than some great national benefit, which we deny the Birkenhead scheme to be. The coasting craft entering the river last year amounted to 602,728 tons., This is exclu sive of 786,255 tons of steamers, which are princi pally employed coastwise. This is an important interest to deal with, and so interwoven with the prosperity of the town and port of Liverpool as to demand the protecting aid of its inhabitants. There are at this moment about seventy coasting vessels beached and at anchor in Wallasey Pool and on its banks ; and with a westerly wind it is no un common thing to see upwards of 200 lying there. Now, where would these be if Wallasey Pool were now walled in ? The ten-acre basin, which it is pro posed to give them, would not accommodate a tithe of them, and there is no other place to which they can be removed with safety to themselves, or with ous obstructing the navigation of the river. It is a common right which they have enjoyed from time immemorial, and it must he maintained for them in all its integrity. Ruin your coasters, and ruin will speedily follow on all the commerce of the port. Drive them away and Liverpool will soon cease to be what she now is, the second port in the kingdom. We will not tire our readers by going further into the subject, but call upon them to examine minutely into the matter and satisfy themselves whether there is danger to be apprehended or not to the corn merce of Liverpool by the scheme now before Parliament, awl if they do. see grounds for apprehension (which we are sure they will,) we entreat them to put their shoulders to the wheel to avert that which may soon become law, and beyond their controul. We say sign the petitions to the Lords if yet in time. It is to them we must look for protection from the threat ened injury to our docks, river, and trade. Another check has ,been experienced by Sir Ro bert Peel, in his efforts to drag his Conservative supporters into the adoption of measures opposed, in their tendencies, to those principles which they have been accustomed to advocate and support. The amendment of Mr. Miles upon the proposed minis terial settlement of the sugar duties was carried on Friday night, by a majority of 20 votes ; and the Government have now added a fourth to the de feats sustained by them in the House of Commons within the last three months. We know not at this moment what may be the result, so far as the ministry are concerned, of this occurrence. It has been imagined that Sir Robert Peel would resign office in dudgeon; nay, it has been rumoured that he and his colleagues had al ready tendered their resignation to her Majesty. That this has occurred, however, is contradicted, quasi ex auctoritate,by the Morning Herald ; and we believe our contemporary to be on this occasion very much in the right. Sir Robert will not resign, when it is perfectly within his reach to disappoint the hopes of a great number of those—the Whig radical portion of the majority—who on this occa sion voted against him, in direct contradiction to their recorded opinions with respect to the policy of discriminating duties, by postponing the present bill for another year, and falling back upon the ex isting scale of duties in its stead. This, we imagine, is the course which he will adopt; for we are confident that he is not disposed to venture upon the experiment of attempting to dragroon his conservative sup porters into another exhibition of that facile rever sion of their recorded opinions, which has already so fatally damaged the character of the reformed House of Commons. It is idle, however, with our present amount of information upon the subject, to speculate upon probabilities, when perhaps the same edition which contains these remarks will convey to the great bulk of our readers the declaration of Sir Robert Peel's intentions, which would be de livered in the House of Commons last evening. THE FUNDS, SATURDAY NlGHT. — Stocks have re mained quiet to-day, the early close of the market pre venting the usual run of business. The rejection of the Ministerial project for altering the sugar duties has bad little effect upon prices. Consols, however, closed the shade lower, being marked 98.

THE WEATHER.—We had some slight but welcome showers yesterday afternoon, with a milder atmosphere, and an appearance of further humidity. The hay grass already cut in this county is scanty, but generally of good quality, and a good after-crop is expected. The wheats still look well, and trough the straw will be short, the T on he th s e p w ri h n o g i - e s , o i w f n we cr b o e ps so a o r n e appearanceigmrapinrowviinllgpirnobabl favoured with rains, the injury sustained by the la t e probably fill well. ; droughts will be nearly redeemed. We are glad to learn that in some other parts of the country copious and re freshing showers have fallen within the last ten days. CHARGE OF MURDER.—About half-past two o'clock yesterday morning, police officer No. 66, who was on duty in Limekiln-lane, he found two men holding up the ap parently dead body of a man ; it was bleeding profusely. He immediately caused the body to be removed to Rose hill station, where surgical assistance was obtained, but without effect, the vital spark having fled. It was after wards discovered that the deceased was Thomas Spinks, a stonemason, residing with his mother in Benn's Gar dens, and that he was last seen in company wi'h Chas. Doyle, John Dunford, and Jane Rainford, in a cellar in Limekiln-lane, opposite which the policeman found him. Inspectors Gandy and Abraham having learned the par ticulars went in search of the parties above named, whom they apprehended. Doyle's coat was matted with blood, and so was Dunford's shirt. The three persons are in custody awaiting the result of the coroner's inqdest, which will be held this day. COLLISION AT SEA.—We take the following particu lars of a collision between a New York packet-ship 1 and a timber ship, off the banks of Newfoundland, on the 27th ult., during a thick fog, from some me morandums furnished by a passenger on board the former vessel, which left this port on the 26th April, and arrived at New York on the 31st ult.:- 26th MAX.—Foggy, unpleasant morning, and we get on mise rably, the weather being so calm, and the little wind we Occa sionally have is always a head. We have only gone this last week 350 miles. 27th.—Rose at 3 o'clock, a.m., in alarm. I was awoke by a tremendous crash ; laid still, and immediately heard another, and then thought it time to rise, as my impression was that we were upon rocks. I ran upon deck, and all was confusion. We had come in contact with another ship, wIIIth completely cleared away our bowsprit, and our ship went immediately into the other amidships ; completely knocked her • side in, and carried away her mainmast. You may imagine I cannot describe the confusion on board. The rigging of the ships were entangled in each other, so that we could not get disen gaged for a considerable time. Every swell of the sea made the other come thumping up against our ship, and did her considerable damage. In fact, I thought she would stave her side in every minute; and as the other vessel was full of water, we expected her sinking every moment; and to crown all, just at this time down went our foremast, with tremendous crash, upon deck. With great difficulty we got parted. The name of the brig is the Levant, of Bath, State of Maine, with timber.—and it was owing to this last circumstance that she kept afloat. She was of 300 or 400 tons burthen, and had seven hands on hoard. Three of their crew came into our ship as soon as we separated. The others remained to pro cure as much of their clothing as they could, and then left her. Our second mate offered to stick to her if the captain would abandon her; but he would not, but returned to her in a boat with two of our seaman ; got a few more things, and then set fire to her and returned. She is now blazing away. The Ilsade, of Boston, came up about half an hour after the accident, so that if there had been any occasion we could have gone on board of her. All hands are busy getting up another mast. LIVERPOOL PROTESTANT ASSOCIATION. Last evening, the balf-yeaey meeting of this association was held at the Music Hall, and was most densely and respectably attended. Amonzst the clerzv and eentlemen on the platform, we noticed the Rev. Mr. M•Neils. the Rev. Mr. Nolan, the Rev. Mr. Bavtee. the Rev. Mr. B. Ellis, the Rev. Mr. M'Conkoy, Mr. Councillor Glaze_ brook, Mr. Councillor Harbor& and several others. Shortly after seven o'clock. the chair was taken by the Rev.. Hugh M'Neile amid loud cheers. Prayers having been offered up by the Rev. Mr. Nola,. The CHAIRMAN proceeded to address the meeting as follows. He said :—Friends and fellow-labourers, at your last half-yearly meeting I gave you some instruction upon the subject of social du►ies to be discharged upon Christian principles. The address which I delivered to you upon that occasion has been reprinted in London, and very extensively et-ciliated under the title of " Eng hrd'a Caesar." It has fallen into the hands of mom- of the leading p o liti c i ans o f th e movemen t p ar ty, who — seem to think that all duties. both personal and social, may he discharged Sufficiently well without any Christian princi ple; and their temper has so far got the better of their policy, that they have not been able to le we us alone. (" Hear, hear," and a laugh.) First, the hon. member for Edinburgh, and now, within the last few diva, the hon. member for Sh-ffield has introduced my name, and a reference to my address to you, int . () the de bates of the House of Commons. Do I complain of this ? Certainly not. I think it an honour to be attacked— (cheers)--to he attacked by a man who attacks the Pro testant Established Church of my country. (Great cheers.) I esteem it a high distinction that my advocacy of our na tional christianity has been so valued that it has compelled the notice, while it has, of course. excited the animosity, of the enemies dour national instltution.. (Hear, hear,) Of what, then, do I complain ? I don't complain of any thing at all ' • lam not fond of complaining ; I agree with some one who said that " complaining waq a pitiful crea ture that never reclaimed a single yesterday" ; I prefer active duty :if it succeed, well—if not, we have done what we could, and results are in higher hands than ours. (Hear, hear.) But I want to tell you that this same hon. member for Sheffield has presented a garbled quota tion from my speech to the House of Commons. I do not accuse him of ascribing to me anything which I did not say, but by taking a couple of sentences out of their context in one page, and joining them to an un finished paragraph in another page of the speech, he has contrived to represent me as having made an assertion without argument. MY argument lay between the pas sages he has quoted ; and I can quite understand why it would be very inconvenient for the hon. member to have quoted the arguments, because I am quite sure it would have been more than inconvenient for him to have an swered them. (Laughter and cheers,) The assertion itself appears to his ultra-liberal mind to be so monstrous as to carry with it its own antidote, so that it needed only to be announced to be repudiated. Now, this was con venient also, and very dexteroui. If the honourable member had so treated a gentleman on the other side of the house, who could have got up in his place and ex posed the unfairnes-, it would - be perhaps no more than . . the usual and authorised tact of debate. But so to treat the speech of an absent clergyman, who never can have an opportunity of fair reply,—it was bad taste to intro duce it at all ; but so to treat it as to be guilty of a prac tical misrepresentation is a proceeding concerning which I venture to say—but he doesn't care what I say, but the well-judging people of England, who love fair-play, will agree with tee, and the well-judging electors of Sheffield will agree with me—(cheers)—that it was a proceeding as disgraceful in its moral character as it was unfair in its debating dexterity. (Hear, hear, and great cheering) I will read you the passage that he left out. He (twitting her Majesty's ministers with my sentiments, as if I had been suggesting something to the right hon. Secretary of the Home Department) said the Rev. Hugh M`Neile, addressing the Protestant operatives of Liverpool, (as if we were all very contemptuous,) declared that " every estate in the realm, except the crown, bad lost its christian character." I said so, and I am prepared to say so again—(cheers), although the hon. member so in troduced it with a sneer. It is a fact ; for, what are the other estates of the realm ? The two houses of Parlia malt ; and have not they lost their christian character, when members of Antichrist are ipso facto members of loth ? (Hear, hear, and great cheering.) " Hence our troubles. Hence our divisions. Hence our dangers." There be stopped ; and be left out a whole page. And then he added, that this rev, gentleman, of whom he said that he was not quite of so much importance as he had been before the present ministers came into office—(a laugh)—but still that he had a great deal of local influ ence.—(hear, and cheers)—he condescended to say so much—(great laughter),— and then he added that I had said, that " though I entertained as unfeigned a repug nance to penal statutes as any liberal politician in the kingdom, I must confess that I am compelled to the con clusion, that the British constitution must be destroyed, unless some political disabilities be a-ain imposed upon Roman Catholics." That was what he thought so mon strous, and that was what he quoted, without the argu ment to support it, in order that the House of Commons might think it monstrous. If I would not weary you — (no, no)—to hear the passage he left out, which was ad dressed to von half-a..year azo, I will supply it, in the hope that it may reach his eyes once again. (Hear, hear, and laughter.) The reverend gentleman here read the pas sage, which, however, was of such considerable length, that we are very reluctantly compelled to omit it for ti . e present. It was to the effect that the subjects of the Papal court aimed at the establishment cf universal supre macy ; and that whether it were the elective franchise in 1793, the admission to parliament in 1829, the admission to the Corporations in 1834, the repeal of the union 'in 1844, or the payment of the Irish priests in 1845, all had been and would be but instalments, at no one stage sup plying a level on which contentment and peace might be expected, but in every instance acting as the steps of a lad der for gradual ascent, increasing the possibility, and therefore animating the prospect, and stimulating the ambition to reach the top. When he had concluded the reading of the extract, the rev. gentleman continued :—Now, it was certainly very judicious to pass that over, and to dovetail what I first read into what fol lowed, omitting a'l that argument, and all those proofs. (Hear.) In corroboration, however, of the sentiments contained in that extract, I appeal now to the speech of Sir Robert Peel, in the debate of last Wednesday night. The right hon. baronet said : " On almost every occasion, when the hon. member for Sheffield tr oight the present question before the house, the hon. member had adverted to his (Sir Robert Peel's) speech delivered in 1817. In that speech he certainly expressed an opinion that, censidering the Ro man Catholic claims would not produce peace and content in Ireland, and that, judging by the ordinary rule of human nature, they would endeavour to depress the Protestant Church. It was rather unfortunate that the hon. member, when qu , `one that opinion, had read no thing of the t rgumenta by which it a as met—of the argu ments that outweighed it in the minds of the public ,of this country. Lord (then Mr.) Plunket, the chosen and most powerful champion of the Roman Catholics, in pre senting the Roman Catholic petition in 1821, delivered a speech which stood nearly the highest in point of ability of any that had ever been delivered within the walls of parliament. In that speech Mr. Plunket replied to the i speech of 1817, and d Glared on the part of the Roman Catholics of Ireland, that in their opinion the removal of their disabilities would be perfectly compatible with the maintenance and security of the established church. Mr. Plunket declared solemnly that if he entertained the opinion that the step of emancipation would endanger the church establishment, he would abandon these long asserted claims and range himself as their opponent." In a subsequent part of his speech, the right hon. baro net, in answer to Lord John Russell, said— " The noble lord had used a very vague term when he spoke about `religious equality.' What did he mean by it? Would the Roman Catholics consider it religious equality' if the pecuniary emoluments were divided be tween the professors of the two faiths, the Church of Ire land retaining her other privileges, of which the seat in the House of Lords was one ? Did the noble lord think that the Protestant bishops should be removed from that house altogether, or the Irish bishops only? But sup posing that done, would that be ' religious equality with out putting some Roman Catholic bishops into that house? Were the churches which the Protestants had built to be handed over as well as the emoluments? Where was it to stop? He believed that if they once entered upon that course, they would soon produce a total alteration of the ecclesiastical policy of this country : no satisfaction would be given unless they went to the fullest extent; and if they went to that extent, they would establish in Ireland a principle which would react in this country, and form a precedent for similar changes in other parts of the king dom. (Hear, hear.) 'Why should they expect that tri vial alterations should produce satisfaction ? When Lord Spencer's bill for the suppression of ten bishoprics in Ire land was introduced, it was hailed with delight by Mr. O'Connell and the Roman Catholic members generally; that had been followed by a curtailment of the revenue and other reforms; yet now in 1844 stronger language had been used in regard to the Irish church than he had ever heard before ; it had been denounced in this debate as an insult and an injury to the Roman Catholics." Now, my friends, upon this very remarkable statement I will offer but a brief comment. It is part of the cant of the liberal politicians of these times, in speaking of the clergy of the national church, that we are at least a quar ter of a century behind the public feeling upon all great questions. Yet, here we have the Prime Minister of Eng land compelled by the force of facts to fall back himself in 1844 on what Protestant clergymen have been reiterating since 1829. (Vehement applause.) We told the right hon. baronet it would be so. (Hear, hear.) But, Lord Lord Plunket said otherwise ; Mr. O'Connell and Mr, Sheil said otherwise ; Dr. Murray and Dr. Doyle said and swore otherwise. (Hear, bear.) They were believed. Concessions were made. The Irish church was deprived of ten of her bishopricks. The Irish clergy were deprived of 25 per cent. of their incomes. The Irish corporations were deprived of their Protestantism, and made Normal schools", for the agitation of repeal. And yet now, after all those concessions, the head of her Majesty's govern smaeynstthcoatmneoswd,owinn strongerlacein regard to the Irish church than he had ever beard parliament language "injury." We told him so. I think it may be a lesson. speech that be fore," and that it was denounced as an " insult and an The right hon. baronet said in this very h r e Ras induced W in as lB u 4 s 4 e , d ali ln d self, in 1817, that it would be so but . act against it, and to give up that judgment in 1829 and . of human now on " the princip es now the judgment he "judging by the principles of human natu e aid him nature" turns out to be the right one. (Hear, hear, and cheers.) It was in harmony with the genius of that sys tem that he bad to resist ; and had he adhered to that judgment, and had he declared, in despite of all that Lord Plunket and others had said, that " granting them a step in advance was but encouraging them to take another"—had be then said, " if you begin to concede, you must go to the utmost Went, or satisf action will no be given," as he sacs now—had he then said what he says now—had he then seen what he sees now, that, if you once besin, you must go on. arid that if you go on there will be a recoil, which would shake the ecclesi astical polity of England and the whole kingdom— had he done this, the forward step would not have been taken, and now, instead of coming at a disadvantage to defend the church against an enemy commanding every battery, we should have had the van tage ground and we would have the victory. But it is never too late to defend the truth. (Immense cheering ! ) And when I say " to defend the truth," I do not mean to defend every single item.or any one single abuse that may have found its way into an Established Church in this or any other country. Ido not identify God's truth with abuses in any Established Church; and yet, one of the strongest arguments, if it could be called an argument, advanced against the Established Church of Ireland in the late debate was the exhibition of a catalogue of a sale at the auction of a deceased clergyman. There was a clergyman in the county of Meath, who was very eccen tric, and who was possessed of property in his ownright. & he was very fond of horses, of improving the breed, and he had a number of race horses, and of pet cows also—(a laugh) ;—and lie gave the milk of the pet cows to the Ro man Catholic neighbours all around. That was lost sight of in the late debate; Mr. Ward did not mention the cows; but he read a list of the blood-horses that this de ceased clergyman had, and he turned him into ridicule, and endeavoured to make the House imagine that the whole church in Ireland was to be identified with this eccentric deceased clergyman. (Hear.) No, it is not to defend such things that we are here, but to defend the great principles of truth against - the encroachment of that liberalism which saps the fouedation of revelation. It is to say to you, and such as you—the people of England— that, with all the disadvantagss you now have to contend against, still hold fast to the truth you read in your Bible. (Cheers.) It :s to say to you that although confidence in that Bible is shaken by what you hear in public places— although confidence in the Bible is shaken by the tone in the houses of parliament—although there is no confidence in that truth expressed in those houses—although there is a fear and trembling lest any such expression of confi dence should be viewed as bigotry in the party using it, lest the man who declares his church to be based on truth should be denounced as charging all others with false hood—although you scarcely read a sentence from one week's end to another in those debates which conveys an impression of confidence in the Word of God,—yet, hold fast! (Great cheers.) It is true, let them act as they will; it has stood the test of inquiry; it has been proved ; the evidence in its favour has been probed to the quick ; the arguments have been laid open to the most inquisitive minds; they have borne the test of the closest and most searching scrutiny ; the inspiration and authenticity of the Bible are un doubted. (Renewed cheering.) Some of you have woofs, in addition to these, which some call enthusiasm ; but you are persuaded whence they come. Hold fast ; the Bible is your stay ; there, and there alone, God speaks to fallen man, and when man speaks it is but as the ora cles of God. "If any man speak, let him speak as the oracles of God." We are not the inventors of things to say to you, but expositors of what God has said. (Cheers.) I say you are exposed to great disadvantages; far there are influences produced on the multitude by the language made use of by their representatives in parliament. I hope the time will never arrive when we shall not see an influence produced by the great and noble of the land. (Cheers.) It is a legitimate influence when rightly used ; but when it is used for evil and not for good, it undermines confidence in the Word of God. (Hear.) It behoves, then, the champions of revealed reli g i on —th e ministers of the Church, who see the dangers and mis chiefs, and the deluding tendency of such infidel argu ments and statements as are uttered in the Houses of Par liament—it behoves the ministers of religion, seeing those many dangers by which the people are assailed, to be forward to warn. It is no time for the ministers of religion to retire to their own private enjoyments and leave the people to themselves. It is no time for the ministers of religion, as in a " piping time of peace," to retire to their fire-sides to enjoy their books and social converse. (Hear, hear.) The times call for outward activity among the people, and for demonstration of the truth. (Cheers.) For on whom, in the Providence of God, does the defence of the true religion of England now depend ? In whom is it delegated ? Where are its strongholds ? Its legislative strongholds have been bro ken open. Its executive strongholds are not to be depend ed upon. Parliamentary strongholds it has none. Where, then, are they to be found, and upon what instrumentality have you to depend ? I boldly answer, there is none left but the clergy of the National Church (Vehement applause.) And I as boldly answer, that if the clergy of the national church would do their duty—if they would stand in their places, and speak to the people in a way the people can understand—if they would make the truths of their reli gion plain to the common sense of the masses—if they would recollect that the bulk of their bearers have not time for reading, and th it their fine-spun theories are thrown away on the masses—if they would speak practi cally like men who know and feel what they are saying, and wish it to be understood and conveyed to the minds of their hearers—and if they would preach the gospel to the people in plainness and simplicity, and act consistently with that preaching themselves, I am bold to say there is sufficient power in the E.iglish and Irish church to heat back all thosehostile motive s that threaten their dissolution —there is power to beat back the infidelity that prevails, and to shame it out of high places—there is power to save the nation as well as the church ; for if the church be not preserved, the kingdom cannot survive the shock : let the jewel be rifled, and the casket becomes not worth the preservation. The reverend gentliman resumed his seat amidst loud and long-continued applause. The Rev. BRA LI AZON Ews proposed the first resolu tion. to the effect that it was the opinion of the meeting that Popery was idolatry, and to be aborred of all faithful Christians, and that as the word of God declared that idolatry should not inherit the kingdom of G od, it was the duty of all Protestants to labour and pray for the conversion of Roman Catholics. He entered into a long and interesting exposition of the errors of popery, of which be produced many proofs—noticing the idolatrous worship of images; the suppression of the second com mandment ; the praying to and invocation of departed saints and angels; the worship of the Virgin Mary; and lastly, the worship of the host, or wafer, or in other words the doctrine of transubstantiation. On each of these subjects he read a variety of extracts, showing that such practices amounted to monstrous blas phemy. The sacrifice of the mass, bore, he truly remarked, no resemblance to the crucifixion; the first was a mere Heathenish mummery —an idolatry to be aborred by all Christians. He concluded by stating that he had gone through all the counts of the indictment, and having, as he believed, proved his case, he put it to the meeting whether the ltomani,ts were guilty or not guilty. (Loud cries of " Guilty, guilty !") Mr, RADCEtFFE seconded the resolution. He dwelt with much effect on the last clause of the resolution, which had not been noticed by the previous speaker; and urged that while we sent out missionaries to the Heathen and the Jew, they should also send missionaries to the poor deluded emissaries of popery in Italy, Ireland, and elsewhere. A collection was then made, during which the Rev. CHAIRMAN addressed the meeting in a humorous man ner, on the Catholic omission of the second command ment. They had some tronble, in consequence, to com plete the number of ten commandments, but ingeniously contrived it by splitting the ten into two. Their ninth, in one of their books was, " Thou shalt not covet thy neighbour's wife," and the tenth was " Thou shalt not covet thy neighbour's goods !" The Rev. Mr. BAYLEE moved the next resolution, to the effect that it was the conviction of the meeting that they should take the Scriptures without human comment as the sole rule of their faith. This resolution lie sup ported in a long, eloquent, and argumentative speech. Mr. R. HARBOILD, who was received with great cheer ing, seconded the resolution, stating in a brief but ener getic address that he did so with great sincerity, and that he was only restrained from indulging further in the expression of his opinions from the lateness of the hour. The Rev. T. NOLAN proposed a resolution to the effect that the meeting were thankful for the privileges they enjoyed, and that they pledged themselves to use their utmost efforts for the spread of Protestant truth, relying on Him who alone could cause the increase. The rev. gentleman supported the motion in an address of consi derable length and much eloquence. The resolution was seconded by Mr. T. F Glaze brook, who noticed the pernicious effects of our in terccurse with Popish countries, through commercial intercourse, and urged the necessity of the continued ex ertions of Protestant societies to counteract the evil tendency of such contamination. The resolution was unanimously passed, and after a friendly piece of advice from the chairman to the young e t h n e e r m s present s mi might t t n o o b t e a c careful e i n n o h f e r n c c o o n n s d i u s t c e t n , c s y o , 7h he e ant rn tah e ne e di t o ng dispersed. perceived that James Yates, Esq., generously x sixth class of the sum of £2OO to the best pupil in the enable him to take MECHANICS' INSTITUTION.—Our readers the High School of this institution, to the London his degrees in the Faculty of Arts at two days, this prize Univer sity.

It was also shown that the man Smith had used his best endeavours to prevent the fight proceeding. The jury, after deliberation, returned a verdict of manslaughter against David Black and Wm. Ralph, but acquitted Thos. Smith. June 18, 1844. TESTIMOi'IAL TO THE REV. W, FALLOON• TO THE EDITOR OF THE LIVERPOOL STANDARD. Sin,—Attending on Tuesday evening last the usual weekly lecture at St. John's Church, I was, in common with, I believe, the rest of the congregation and the mi nister, most unexpectedly and agreeibly surprised. You are aware that the bishop a few days back held e confirmation in this town, and a preparation for which I, very considerable number received instruction from our minister. Subsequently, to evince their gratitude for hill care they had, it appears, in secret I suppose, met, agli subscribed for a suitable memento of their affectionate ap preciation of his attention to their eternal interests, in the shape of an elegant quarto Bible bearing an appropriate inscription engraven upon a silver plate. This, borne upon a handsome velvet cushion, and accompanied by beautifully bound copy of " Fox's Book of the Church," the sole offering of a class of youths, who had met together in the vestry for instructton, were upon the evening in question presented by the youthful donors to their as- . tonished pastor as he left the pulpit, at the conclusion of the evening service, together with a purse containing the residue of the general fund, which not being exhausted by the purchase of their offering, they, with thoughtfulnets worthy of riper years, requested might be devoted to the necessities of the poor of the congregation. The whole scene, aided by the youthfulness of the sub- . scribers, who pressed around their delighted friend and minister, was one of unmixed pleasure ; and when on con cluding a few words of brief but grateful acknowledgement, and kind though solemn admonition to his young friends, their pastor uttered the prayerful wish that all their names might be found in the Lambs book of life, their glistening eyes, as the words fell upon their e ars , t o ld h ow we ll their youthful minds had been prepared by, and could appreci ate appropriate instruction, based upon the word of God. and the doctrines of that church to which so many of them had so recently professed their adherence, a proof among many others, that education and religion may well go hand in hand. The gratification that I derived from the scene I wit nessed, has induced me to request you will be kind enough to afford this short description a corner in your valued journal; and, by so doing, oblige A CONSTANT READER.

SAVIOUR'S CHURCH, NEAR FALKNER-SQUARE..... This church having been closed during the past three weeks for the purpose of cleaning and making some ne cessary alterations, was re-opened on Sunday last, under the ministry of the Rev. Wray R. Hunt, late of Moira, county Down. The congregation was numerous and respectable, and the preacher was listened to with great attention and interest, and evidently made a favour able impression on his hearers. We were pleased to ob serve the free seats well Bled. BIGAMY.—On Saturday a man named Peter Tool was charged at the Police .court with having married a second wife, his first being then, alive. The prisoner said his first marriage was illegal, as his first wife at the time of mar riage was a Protestant, and he was a Roman Catholic, and she was so dissipated that they had separated, and he bad never seen her for two years until the day before. He had previously heard site was dead.—Mr. Rushton saki , he saw nothing in the case to invalidate the marriage at St. Patrick's Chapel, and that he should, therefore, coat mit the prisoner for trial. He was committed according'''. CHARGE OF MANSLAUGHTER.—Yesterday, Thorns's Carter, his wife, and two sons, Thomas and Joseph, were before Mr. Rushton, chargedwith assaulting Catherine Can. ter, the wife of Thomas Carter, the younger, and causing the death of an infant child. The complainant said, that on Saturday, the 25th of May, about ten o'clock at night, she went into Selby's public-house, Stanley-strut, for the purpose of getting some money which her husband promised to leave for her. There she saw her mother-in law, and they quarrelled. She left the house, and seeing her husband and his father coming up the street, she followed them to Temple-buildings. There Joseph came up, and said, " Have you got any one to fight me." She replied that she had not. He then got his hands round her neck, and dragged her into the house, and kicked her in the abdomen. Mrs. Carter twisted ber hands in her hair, and kicked her also. Her husband came and pretended to take his mother's hand out of her hair, but struck her (his wife) on the shoulder several times. The father called out, " Give it to her John, you will never have an opportunity again." The police and a girl then came and took her away. At this time she was between five and six months gone in the family way, and had that evening felt that the child was alive. She was laid up for that time, premature labour ensued, and she was delivered of a, dead born child. Mr. Criffs and Mr. Potter, surgeons, were afterwards called in, and both ex pressed their belief that the labour had been occasioned in consequence of violence. Evidence was given on the part of the prisoners, to show that the complainant had acted violently towards her mother-in-law, whom she struck, and a scuffle having ensued, she fell to the ground. Mr. Rushton took time to consider of the case, and re manded the prisoners till this day. TIDE TABLE. DAYS. MRN. EyN. HEIGHT HOLYDATS, ETC. Tuesday 13 020 037 15 7 Venus sets 10h 42m ev.
