LIVERPOOL (NEW) FISH COMPANY TN consequence of the favourable terms on which the Di rectors of the late Liverpool Fish Company were rised, at the last meeting of the Shareholders, to sell ti._ _ _- Hall, Fishing Smacks, and Stores, and the generally •ex pressed regret at the dissolution of the late Company, and the desire that a new Company might be formed, by many of the Members, the Gentlemen composing the Provisional Committee determined to purchase the whole of the remain ing Property belonging to the late Company, consisting of the FISH HALL, VAULTS, and OFFICES connected therewith, and FIFTEEN FISHING SMACKS, with FISHING TACKLE and STORES, and form a new JOINT STOCK COMPANY for the same purposes for which the late Company was established, and they have, therefore, entered into a Contract with the Directors for such purchase for the sum of £6,790. To show the very advantageous terms on which the Com mittee have made the purchase, it will be unnecessary to say more than that the Purchase Money of the Vessels does not amount to one-half of what they originally cost the late Company, and the Fish Hall. Vaults, and Offices to little more than two-thirds of the original cost; that the Boats are well found in Stores, moat of them in very good condi tion, and may be seat to the Fishing Grounds at a very tri fling expense. The Committee propose that the new Company shall be called " The Liverpool Fish Company." The Capital of the Company to consist of 700 Shares of £l2 each, £lO of which shall be immediately paid up, and the Company be considered as formed as soon as two-thirds of the Shares are taken and £lO per Share paid thereon. Nearly 200 of the Shares have been taken by Shareholders in the late Company, and the £lO per Share paid. The remainder of the Shares will be allotted to such parties as may apply for Shales before the 30th November instant. Printed Prospectuses, with the names of the Provisional Committee, and further information may be obtained, on and after Tilts DAY, at the Fish Hall, Murray-street, where applications for Shares are to be sent, addressed to the Chair man of the Provisional Committee. autho- STAR INN, NORTH JOHN-STREET, CORNER OF DALE-STREET.

GARDNER, AURIST, from London, has the honour respectfully to announce, that in consequence of the numerous applications which have been made to her, for an extension of the period to which she had intended to limit her stay in Liverpool, Mrs. G. has made arrangements so that she may be consulted on all Diseases of the Ear for a short time longer, at 75, RENSHAW-STREET. The success - which has attended her practice during the last fourteen years, in various parts of the United Kingdom and on the Continent, having, by its innocence and efficacy, insured her the confidence of the public and the patronage of the Faculty (as attested by certificates both oral and do cumentary), any further comment on her part is unnecessary, and she merely begs it to be borne in mind that, in cases beyond the reach of art, her opinion may be obtained (per sonally) without the usual fee.

IMPOLICY AND CRUULTY OF NEGLECTING PUBLIC HEALTH.-It is computed that half the deaths of the in habitants of the globe are produced by fever of various kinds —the amount of intensity of this in a district will pretty ac curately indicate the condition of the air respired by its inhabitants. I am aware that in localities where masses of human beings are impacted—where no attention is paid to ventilation—where decaying refuse or excrementitious matter is allowed to accumulate (and that this is too frequently the case, I shall take an early oppertunity of proving,) the in evitable result must be the deterioration of the su rroun di ng attained a certain —the records of its atmosphere. degree of int results in th The deterioration having isity, leaves the evidence —in the huge masses of misery it has created—and in the wide-spreading d eso l a ti on it has occasioned. The magnitude of the result in London, if that magnitude be estimated by the numbers a tt ac k e d, i s not slight. From returns received from the Bethnal Green and Whitechapel Unions, it appears that during the year 1834, there occurred of fever cases — In the Bethnal Green U In the Whitechapel Union 4,611 Thus it appears that the medical officers attached to these two Unions alone have attended no less than 4,6-11 fever cases. But these returns include only the persons attacked with fever, 'oho applied to the parish for relief. Fever, it is notorious, has prevailed extensively in both these districts einong people above the rank of paupers, among people of Me middle - class, and; in numerous ihstaness, even in the families of the wealthy.—Sp extreme has been the social dis order, and so abject is the poverty of some of the places which are now the seats of disease, that great numbers of the dwellings have been entirely abandoned by the lease holders. This statement affords a painful proof of the close, the inseparable connection existing between physical agen cies producing disease, and their demoralising results.— Though the power of mere circumstances can never be abso lute over a rational and responsible being—though we never can be quite bereft of the means of making ourselves better or worse ; still it is not to be denied that upon circumstances depend the moral and social elevation or depression of all sorts and conditions of mankind in the mass. Let circum stances be favourable, virtue and happiness will prevail—let them be adverse—vice and misery will abound.—Gatherings from Grave Yards, by G. A. Walker, Surgeon. FALLS OF THE CONWAY.—The sun was gently declin ing when I reached that point in the Holyhead-road, from which I struck off across the fields to view the Falls of the Conway. The ear of the wanderer is instructed of their proximity by the noise of rushing waters, but the immediate neighbourhood of this wonderful scene is more directly indi cated by a thin plantation of young timber, so widely dis persed as not to interrupt the growth of the green herbage, and the pale primrOses and gay wild flowers that everywhere invite his attention. A narrow path winds down the decli vity amongst the trees, that thicken into a forest as he ap proaches thetable rocks upon which he first pauses to con temp late a subject combining so many new featu r e s o f th e sublime and beautiful. A vast circular opening in the high lands, lined by perpendicular granite rocks, discloses a mag nificent hall, stupendous in height, and deepening into almost impenetrable gloom. On each side rude masses of rock project themselves, assuming something like architec tural shapes, and dividing at intervals the stern channelled curtain of the gnlpb, give to the whole the character of a building formed by a giant hand, and moulded after some Two huge fragments, at the extreme l• •hr savage taste. _ rear themselves like stern sentinels on opposite sides through which the foaming cataract tumbles with headlong fury,giving light and life to the supreme wildness and solitude of the place. A capacious basin,• hollowed by time and the cease less action of the elements, receives the boiling flood, which here for ,t while stays its headlong fury, and becomes distri buted amongst numerous stony billows. Again the accumu lated waters overleap their barriers, and when they rush for ward in one impatient current, spouting and springing over riven rocks and through deep chasms, till they reach the level bottom beyond the confluence of the Lledr with the Conway, where they quietly subside into one calm clear stream. At the time 1 paid my visit to the Falls the dry season had considerably diminished the force of the waters : the broad masses of rock which everywhere rear themselves, and pave the floor of the first descent, afforded safe footing f o r the Adventurer , and I stepped from one t o anot h er i n per f e ct security. ...,-From Roscoe' North Waits, new edition. 'l'll OF M On Sunday the King's Head public-house, in EaslelJeap, was surrounded by a larger concourse of persons than has as sembled there since the time that elapsed between the cum .mittal of the murder and the holding of the coroner's-inquest on the late Mr. James Burdon. 'The re• excitement was pro duced in consequence of its becoming generally known tint Mrs. Sarah Blakesiey, the unfortunate widow of the man who expiated his offence in front of Newgate on Monday morning last, had expired. The unhappy woman's death makes flu fourth life that has fallen a sacrifice to this domestic t Blakesley and her male child, of whom she was prematurely delivered, and the author of this dire catastrophe, Robert Blakesley. Mrs. Blakesley, his widow, was in the 25th year of her age, and was the daughter of a Mr. Atkins, who for several years carried on the trade of a respectable livery-stable keeper. She was formerly in the service of Lord Surrey, and quitted her situation to assist her sister and Mr. Burdon in the public business. Blakesley's first acquaintance with her arose out of his occasionally visiting the King's head with some gentlemen connected with the Corn-Exchange. An intimacy sprung up between them about 12 months since, and it is said that a very strong attachment existed' between them. It is already known that Blakesley, a few minutes before he left the condemned cell for the last time, declared that it was his intention to have murdered his wife, but no explanation of his fatal purpose has been hitherto conveyed to the public. The only declaration he made in this respect was to the Ordinary of Nesvgate, to whom he stated that it was his determination, as they could not live together, " to dig at the same time," adding, that at the time and before his commission of the offence it was his full conviction he would be executed. Burdon, Mrs From all the inquiries that the reporter has made, it ap pears to be untrue that the intelligence of her husband's execution was made known to her, but she informed her medical attendant a few days before the extreme sentence of the law was carried out that she dreamt of her husband's ignominious death. Mrs. Blakesley expired on Thursday last, and on Saturday an inquest was held on the body, when the surgeon stated that the deceased did not die from miscarriage though it was consequent upon the wound. If she had not been stabbed, he said, it was not likely she would have miscarried. After some further evidence, the jury without hesitation returned a verdict of wilful murder against Robert Blakesley.. Mr. Burdon, it is stated, gave £3OOO for the purchase of the lease of the King's Head, Eastcheap, and since the mur der several persons have offered, under the impression that Mrs. Burden would leave the house, an increased premium of from £5OO to £lOOO ; but she has stated, in answer to the inquiries of the ward beadle, that it is her intention to carry on the business, and for that purpose to apply to the licensing aldermen for a renewal of the licence on the next licensing day. THE LAST CENSU The total population of England, according to the census just completed, is 7,321,875 males ; 7,673,633 females—total, 14,995,508; that of Wales, 447.533 males; 463,788 females total, 911.321; that of Scotland, 1,246,427 males ; 1,382,530 females—total, 2,628,957 ; and that of the islands of Jersey, Guernsey, Alderney, Sark, Herm, Jothon, and Man, 57,598 males ; 66,481 females—total, 124,079. These numbers, including 4,003 males, and 893 females, ascertained to have been travelling by railways and canals on the night of June 6. make the grand totals 9,077,436 males ; and 9,587,325 females. The population, therefore, of Great Britain, amounts to 18,664,761 persons. . . _ The returns only include such parts of the army, navy, and merchant seamen as were at the time of the census within the kingdom on shore. The increase - of the population, as compared with the re turns of 1831, is at the rate of 14.5 per cent. for England ; 13 per cent. for Wales ; for Scotland, 11.1 ; for the islands in the British seas, 19.6; making the increase for the whole of Great Britain 14 per cent., being less than that of the 10 years ending 1831, which was 15 per cent. In 1811 the increase during the previous 10 years in England, was 144 per cent. ; in Wales, 13 per cent. ; and in Scotland, 14 per cent. In 1821, the increase for England was 174 per cent.; for Wales, 17 per cent; and for Scotland, 16 per cent. In 1831, the increase was for Eng land, 16 per cent.; for Wales, 12 per cent.; for Scotland, 13 per cent.; and for the islands in the British seas, 15.8 per cent. The number of houses in England is, inhabited, 2,758,295; uninhabited, 162,756 ; building, 25,882. The number in Wales, inhabited, 188,196; uninhabited, 10,133; building, 1,709. In Scotland, inhabited, 503,357; uninhabited, 24,307; building, 2,760. In the islands of the British Seas, 19,159 inhabited; 865 uninhabited; and 220 building. Grand totals for the whole of Great Britain-3,464,007 inhabited ; 198,061 uninhabited ; 30,631 building,—altogether, 3,682,699 houses. In 1831 the number of inhabited houses was 2,866,595 ; uninhabited, 133,331; building, 27,553 ; total, 3,027,479. POPULATION OF THE ENGLISH COUNTIES. In 1831.

Birmingham has, been represented to be miserable enough ; but Sheffield in particular WAS said to be literally depopulated and ruined. " Whole streets of shops and houses remain tenantless. Trade comparatively is at a stand-still. Bankruptcies, failures, and assignments are daily events. The prison is choked with forty.shim ng debtors, and the artisans who have saved a fewpounds are s e lli ng their few sticks of furniture to enable them to emigrate." B u t cu houses, and reckon iwhat is the truth. according to an able and aut h ent i c analysis given in the Sheffield Mercury, we find that—" In SheffieldlnBg3 lfiveinmates each 18,131 house, I s o e cpied , the popul a ti on would be 91,655. This is within 37 of the numbers given in the ce n sus of that year, the actual population being 91,692. I n 1841 , the census shows a population of 110,891, and, suppos ing these to be divided into families averaging fi v e i n number, as in the year 1831, the inhabitauts of Shef field would be found occupying 22,178 houses. N ow . what is the actual number of houses occupied accord ing to the late returns? Not 22,178, but 22,753; so that instead of there being ' whole streets of houses tenantless,' as compared with the state of things in 1831, the p eop l e o f Sheffield occupy 575 houses over and above what they would have occupied (allowing for the increase in population) had their condition been neither better nor worse than in 1831. That there is a great number of empty houses in Sheffield is quite true, and it would be strange were it not so. si nce 1831, at which time only 19 houses out of 20 were tenanted, the actual increase in population required the building of 3,840 houses, taking the families at rive, as in 1831, whereas we have built 6,731 houses. In 1831, we had houses capable of containing, at five to a family, 4,570 souls more than the actual population, but we have now houses sufficient to domicile 18,989 beyond the numbers given in the recent census—in other words, we have built houses for 14,200 people beyond what were required.' before J Win.

The strictest pri vacy was observed, and we understand that no burial service was performed; but, in other respects, the interment was the ordinary one. The mortal remains of the unfortunate young officer, were not interred on Thursday ; they were awaiting directions from the deceased's family, some members of which were expected to arrive at Burnley in the course of that day. We under stand that Lieutenant O'Grady had obtained leave of absence, to visit his mother; and that he had intended to proceed to Dublin for that purpose, in the course of the next week. The feelings of his widowed mother, looking forward with an ticipations of pleasure to a visit from a . beloved child, and now to be harrowed and wrung by the distressing recital of the circumstances which have led to his untimely death, may be conceived ; but language would fail to depict them. We believe that the body of Isabella Territt has also been privately interred. In our former notice of this melancholy tragedy, we mentioned that she was the daughter of Mrs. Hadden, the mess-woman ; but we forgot to add, that her father, an Irishman, is also at the barracks, in the capacity of mess-man. In permitting the misconduct of their daugh ter, which has led to the catastrophe by which she has at length lost her life, and been the cause of death to two others, these wretched parents have much to answer for. Some blame is also attributable to that laxity of moral discipline, in,this respect, which this case has shown to exist sometimes, with perfect military discipline, order, and subordination. If the authorities at the Horse Guards could devise some plan by which there could be insured, in the domestic and social departments of the officers' mess-houses, such regula tions as to give them a character as respectable as private houses, not only would such scenes as that which we have -- now under notice be avoided, but another great social advan tage might be gained—the residence therein of the wives of officers ; who are now driven to a distance, into private lodg ings, at a considerable cost, and to the sacrifice of much do mestic comfort and enjoyment. Some arrangement, by which a change could be effected, and to which tho first step must be a removal of all improper characters from menial situa tions about the mess-houses, would redound to the credit of the authorities at the Horse Guards ; and be, at least, as be neficial to the service as the alteration of a uniform, or the prescription or proscription of certain accoutrements, on drill or on parade. MURDER OF A MAN BY HIS WIFE AND DAUGHTER! (Abridged from the Stamford Mercury) The case of poisoning at Lutton has acquired still more interest, it being now believed that the daughter and wife arc the poisoners. The following are the facts stated in evidence at the coroner's inquest : Thomas Johnson, the deceased, was managing farming man to George Clarke, Esq., of Long Sutton, and lived on that gentleman's farm, in the parish of Lutton. In the same house lived Ann Johnson, his wife, Amy Johnson Marshall, his daughter by a former wife prior to marrilge, and George Whitelem and Hervey Burgess, lodgers, who worked on the same farm. The unfortunate man had lived very unhappily With his family. On Monday week the wife, after having seen some puddings for dinner made by the daughter put into the pot, went to a neighbour's, where she stopped tea. The young men went in todinner first, and fancying something peculiar in the taste of their pudding, did not eat the whole; but Johnson ate all. There were This or Blbs of arsenic in the house, which had been procured for the purpose of dressing the seed wheat, and it is supposed that a part of this had been mixed in the pudding of Johnson, and that the others, being boiled in the same pot, became strongly impregnated with it. Directly after eating his dinner, Johnson became ill, and when his wife returned home a little after six o'clock, she found him vomiting in the yard. On seeing her he said, "I am poisoned." She says she answered, " Oh, Johnson, how can you think so ? you must be a wicked man to think so." The poor man remained dreadfully ill till about eight o'clock, when, being no longer able to bear the agony he was enduring, he attempted to go to the stable to send Burgess for medical assistance, but unable to get there, the wife went, and told the man to go to Long Sutton, to Mr. Ewen, the surgeon, and to tell him that Johnson was taken ill of his old complaint, and he was to give him some more of the medicine he had had before, as it then did him good. Mr. Ewen in consequence sent the medicine, and said he wo u ld call and see Johnson in the morning. Burgess, on the way home, however, was taken ill, and with great difficulty crawled back. Whitelern also, who had been to Lutton, came home very ill, and they both went to bed. The wife and daughter of the victim remained in the house, while he was groaning and moaning dreadfully till about eleven o'clock ; the young men heard him, but were so ill themselves that they could not get out of bed. At last, the daughter called a neigh bour (Mr. Savage), who went to the house, when he was told by Johnson that he was poisoned. Mr. Savage immediately rode to Long Sutton for Mr. Ewe n , b ut before he returned Johnson was dead. After the departure of Mr. Savage, the suffering man, in his extreme agony, leaped out of bed, dropped down on the floor, and died; and the unfeeling women, before the arrival of Mr. Savage with Mr Ewen, had laid out the corpse on the bed. Mr. Ewen attended to the .young men, and they are recovering. The wife on her examination before the jury, was little affected; and when the daughter was examined, she exhibited not the lea s t s i gn o f f ee li ng or sorrow ; she app eare d ca ll ous alike to her present situation, and to the common feeling of humanity. Notwithstanding the suspicious circumstances attending the death of the poor fellow, the wife and daughter were not taken into custody, and when his body was buried it was followed to the grave by his other relatives in the company of his generally-believed murderers. The contents of the stomach were analysed, as was also the liquor in which the puddings were boiled; and both were found to be impregnated with arsenic. As no one had access to the provisions but the wife and daughter, this circumstance coupled with their unfeeling conduct, satisfied the jury of their guilt, and they returned a verdict of " Wilful murder" against the prisoners. FIRE IN WOOLWICH DOCKYARD On Saturday morning, about half-past three o'clock, one of the dockyard police, observing some smoke issuing from a building used for the purpose of making Grant's patent fuel, oa a close approach to it found it was in flames, and imme diately gave the alarm. The dockyard engines were promptly brought to the spot, and the alarm bell rune, the engines of the Royal Marines, Royal Artillery, and 10 - yal Sappers and Miners were soon pre sen t, an d au excellent supply of water obtained from th e b as i n a l most close to the building, the spread of the devouring element to the engine house was prevented, but no exerti ons cou ld save the woo d en building in which the fire originated, and consequently it was burnt to the ground. The fire is supposed to have originated from one of the iron pipes under a portion of the wood having become over heated on the previous day, and the wood having from that cause such a degree of heat communicated to it, as ultimately caused it to ignite. It is worthy of observation that the fires used at this work are always put out about four o'clock in the afternoon, so that the fire. if it originated through them, must have remained twelve hours undiscovered. During the fire a fatal accident took place in the basin. A young man, 17 years of age, named John Johnston, a sea man on board the James and Elisabeth schooner, lying in the river, alongside the wharf wall of the dockyard, on hear ing the alarm of fire, came on shore, and the fog was so thick at the time that he walked into the basin, and striking his head, it is snpposed, upon an iron chain, was So stunned, that although a good swimmer, he was drowned, and his body of recovered un til h a lf an hour afterwards. Two ma , also fell into the water from a similar cause, but they were promptly taken out. The officers and crews of the Devastation and the other vessels in her majesty's service in the river and in the basin were promptly on the spot, and, by their able assistance, were of great service in checking the spread of the fire. The loss will not be very great, as the building was only constructed of wood, and, fortunately, it was in a manner detached from the other parts of the yard. [According to subsequent particulars we are glad to per ceive that no apprehensions are entertained that the destruc tion was the work of an incendiary. The assertion that an alarming fire had, taken place in the Royal Arsenal is with-. out the slightest foundation, and it ought to be known to the public at a distance that the Royal Arsenal is fully a mile distant from the dockyard, and nearly two miles from the spot where the fire originated in this instance.] was nr • formed a very strong attachment to the young woman, Ter ritt; and so jealous was he, that he was quite incensed when he received a letter from her husband, a private soldier in the 97th regiment, quartered in Corfu. He has also fre quently said that his master, Mr. O'Grady, was an inter loper in his affections. In the latter part of Sunday, Mor ris appeared very much excited, and complained that his master had spoken angrily to him at mess. Mrs. Ann Ap pleton Hadden, the mother of 'the deceased woman, stated, that the first time, on Sunday night, that witness suspected there was something wrong, was about seven o'clock. After the mess was over, Morris came into the kitchen, and he looked very wild. This was about eight o'clock; Isabella was also in at the time. Witness asked what was the mat ter with him, and he complained of something that Mr. O'Grady bad said to him during mess. She also asked her daughter what was the matter; and deceased's answer was, " That it was not fit that she and Morris should be in the same place together." Deceased then put on her cloak and bonnet and went out. Morris followed her, apparently in a great rage ; and witness went after them,. and prevailed on her to return, which she did, but almost immediately ran off again, followed by Morris. Where they went, witness did not know. Witness then went into the mess pantry, where she found Morris and two other soldiers. He ordered the two men out, and told them, if they would come in the morning, he would treat them with some ale. They went away, and he then threw himself on a bed, in a state of great excitement. Witness remonstrated with him, and asked him if he was mad. He got up off the bed, and looking into a looking-glass, said, Do I look like a madman ?" lie said he had 275. in his pocket, which belonged to a wine account, and that he would throw it over the wall in the morning. He then asked witness to come in, and close the door; but she refused. At this moment Mr. O'Grady came up ; and Morris said, " Let him come here, and I will smash his face for him, for what he said to me this morning." Witness 1- told him, if he was disturbed about Isabella, it was very foolish of him, for she was. married ; and he could; there fore, never have her; to which he replied he was very fond of her, and if she would not have him she must never have anybody else. Witness then went into the. kitchen, but returned immediately, and found the deceased Mr. O'Grady in the pantry, remonstrating with him ; and he had taken his gun from hire, and was requesting him to deliver up all his arms. Moiris said, " What is the meaning of all this?" to which Mr. O'Grady replied, " I will let you know that in the morning." Witness did not see what Morris had in his hand ; but he made a push at Mr. O'Grady, with some thing that seemed to miss him, and he made another stab at him with the instrument. Witness heard Mr. O'Grady cry out, " Treachery !" and saw him put his hand upon his side, and stumble into the offi cers ' mess - room . Wi tness called out " Murder," and went back to the kitchen, and immediately returned, and saw Morri4 lying dead in the lobby ; she ran down the passage, and when she got to Mr. O'Grady's room, she saw her daughter standing on the floor, bleeding. Witness asked what was the matter, to which the deceased answered, " I don't know," and then began to vomit. Witness asked who had done it, or was it Morris ; and she replied " No." Deceased remained sensible till her death, which occurred about twelve o'clock ; but never gave any account of how the wounds were inflicted. Morris seemed very fond of her, and often said, if she would not have him, he would kill both her 'and himself.—By a juror : Did any struggle take place between Morris and Mr. O'Grady? Witness: Not at that time.—By another juror : Had Mr. O'Grady any weapon in his band at that time?— Witness : No, sir, lie had not. Such were the principal facts given in evidence. The inquiry was one of great length, occupying nine hours altogether. It was about seven o'clock in the evening when the jury, after a short de liberation, returned a verdict of Witful 'Murder against Robert Morris, as to the bodies of Lieutenant O'Grady and Isabella Territt ; and, as to Morris himself, their verdict was Felo de se.

Hugh M`Neile's Lecture on the life of Dr. Franklin, we have had an extra issue of the paper, a few copies of which still remain on sale. We believe this is the only correct report of the splendid oration delivered by the reverend gentleman, as the pamphlet is announced to contain merely the " original notes ;" and it is well known that the best specimens of Mr. M`Neile's oratory are the extemporaneous effusions by which he thrills his audience, and which are preserved in the STANDARD of Friday. The party who favoured us with an advertisement without a cash remittance, from Dumfries, may be far north, but we hail from John o'Groat's house. We will hand the communication signed " W.

It is contrary to our practice to insert reviews of any pub lication unless the work be forwarded to us.

TUESDAY MORNING, NOVEMBER 23, 1841 The Liverpool Journal, in its number of Saturday, enters a protest against what it anticipates as the plan of the Education Committee of the Council with re- spect to the Corporation Schools ; but it is unable to raise any new objection, or add any novel argument to that series with which the public is well acquainted as flowing from the theological school of Romanism. It enters its protest, we presume, as the organ of the Church of Rome in this quarter, and in a strain which would lead us to surmise that the document was drawn nu by a gownsman of the sacred college ; but, we re peat, it leaves the question just where it found it. He informs us of the Roman Catholic doctrine on the Sub ject; we knew it already. He calls upon us to recog nise that doctrine; we affirm that we are not bound to do so to the extent he requires. In a country which has a Church Establishment, a dissenter from its worship has no right to ask that his religion shall be taught, or that its principles shall he favoured by the State. There is no one section of our numerous forms of dissent which makes such a de mand, saving and excepting that which of all others has the least right to make it ; namely, that—for we class it under the head of dissent—that of the profess ors of Romanism. That the State has made some compliances in this respect—compliances that may seem to warrant the demand of more—we admit; but these compliances have never met with the general sanction of the na tion ; they have been over and over again protested against; they form a subject of earnest controversy at this moment ; and, upon the whole, they constitute no precedent nor authority which can compel us to carry out the principle or extend the rule to new cases. The Maynooth grant has not yet been cancelled; but sure we are of this, that the modest request made the other day by the Roman Catholic bishops to Earl de Grey in Dublin, that he would support their memorial to have that grant doubled, or greatly increased in amount, will not be complied with. But the demand of the Roman Catholics in Liver pool, it will be said, is not to have their religion made a subject of instruction in the municipal institutions of the town, but simply that a well-known doctrine of their church may be respected therein, and that the Bible may not be opened as a class-book, or perused at all, by the children of their communion. This is what they ask; and upon this the question arises, have they any right to make such a demand, or is there intole rance, bigotry, or anything politically inexpedient, or improper, in refusing to comply with it ? Roman Catholics must be quite aware of their posi tion as a dissenting body, and as one small in number as compared with the great hulk of the population who belong to the Established Church. Politically, there fore, they have no right to come forward, and say, you must form your system of municipal or national in struction so as to agree with our peculiar tenets; they have, we shall say, no " right" to claim more than perfect liberty of conscience, and an unfettered discre tion to resist, or not, to such public schools as the State, or its municipal institutions may provide, as they If they appear to solicit anything of this sort, they can only come as men who ask a favour--as men who claim a peculiar indulgence ; and the force of their application must depend altogether on the reasonable ness and justice of this request. "We pray," say they, " to supersede the Bible, so far as our children are concerned,—and for these two principal reasons : first, because we hold that ,there is an infallible inter position of Scripture which is of as much importance as the Scripture itself; and secondly, because we do not esteem your version of the Bible to be a correct please one. This is the ground of our objection ; and we pray you to give it consideration." Such is the sub stance of the long article which appeared in the Jour nal • but we are at a loss to see how the writer fortifies his case by entering into these particulars. He is ad dressing himself, it should be remembered, to members of the Established Church, and to Protestants gene rally, and to men therefore who reject the supposed - - equality of any human authority with that of Holy Writ as a most dangerous and blasphemous error, and who have as good reason to be satisfied with regard to the almost faultless perfe'.tion of our authorised version of the Bible, as they have as to any other Sven autho- rised and established fact whatever. Does our con- temporary call then upon such men to stultify them selves,—to deny their faith,—and set their seal to the fabulous pretences of Romanism ? Does he expect them to s a y, we put aside the B ibl e, b ecause R oman Catholic p r i es t s seek to have their word regarded as that of God, and claim a right to close its pages against all who presume to question their audacious assurnp _ . . tion; and also, because these same infallible priests al- lege that our Bible is an incorrect translation, notwith standing all the incontestable and overwhelming evi- dente which we possess to the contrary ? Can any Roman Catholic, we say, expect that Protestants will affirm this monstrosity, or do an act which would even remotely imply their assent to it ? We say then that the joiir;ial not mended tl entering into these grounds of their objection to t reformed or restored schools ; he makes it worn puts it upon every Protestant to stand I,y his profe necessary evidence that he clots not in any degr in any particular, recede from it; he makes it apr that if they relax from their rule, it will be a proc tion that Roman Catholic priests have some founc: for what they allege, 'Tile explanation of our cor ; it is, in fact, co porary is therefore unfortunate Xs well might Roman Catholics say, we ( believe and reject the Bible as a divine revelation, even as a good book, and therefore we must beg of not to teach it to our children. Could the ''ducat Committee, in that case, pay the least attention to ti remonstrance ? Could they agree to cast such ( honour on the word of God ? Impossible. It wo natorr only tend to confirm them in their resolution, if had before any doubt on the subject, to unfur standard of divine truth in all their establishm. and maintain it against all gainsayers. - Leinster, Ulster, Munster, Captain Rock was still the boy to - make the fun stir. Nor was this all ; political agitation never was more rife—never so exacting. The agitators had only one more demand to make, and they made it; they now talked pretty freely of having the country all to them selves. Such was the state of Ireland under the Whigs, whilst they were most complacently telling of what great things they had effected. Facts, however, are stubborn things; and not all the hardihood of Whig assertion, nor all its powers of face, could get They had one answer for all attacks—tln same sponge to wipe out all reproaches—namely, tha if there were some evils under their popular, liberal fostering, and most parental regime, they were inevi table; but if there were such under their administra tion, what must be expected under the accession o party so fearfully obnoxious as the Torie to contemplate, they said, what might happen in the eventuation of anything so calamitous. Such was the re over these, It was awfd ply which was to silence all objections, whilst, to give it the greater effect, the mighty " Daniel" played terma gant, and we may shortly, and yet emphatically say, did his utmost to " keep out the Tories." Well, the Tories came in in spite of all this; the argument ad terrorem failed, and some little time has now elapsed since the Tories have been in and the Whigs out; and it is not altogether premature to " take stock," or to refer to the books, and see in what way our Lalances stand. With reference to crime, we find two murders, but one certainly which we are obliged to connect with the Ribbon or Rockite system, and from the commis sion of which we are bound to admit that that most detestable conspiracy has not yet been broken up. The Conservative ministry cannot by any means pretend to have subdued this hydra; but in this respect, if they have gained nothing, neither have they lost. The Whigs did not subdue it during a long ten years of office, with every opportunity of tracing his lair, and destroying the monster in his den; nay, never was he more rampant, or more the terror of an awe-struck world, than just during the mild sway of Lord Nor manby, and the other favourites of her Majesty's chief agitator in those parts. On the score of tranquillity generally, however, it appears that Ireland is not less, if she is not a great deal more at rest, under her new • than she was under her late government. The healthy tone of feeling which has been communicated to the friends of good order since the new authorities entered upon their functions, is pregnant evidence on this head ; it is the strongest token of an improvement; it is a great improvement in itself. But the grand tri umph of the Conservative minister consists in this. that his official career, short as it is, furnishes a living contradiction to all the empty boastings, threatenings, prophecies, and lies, so long and so profusely poured out by hiS opponents. The spell is broken—the charm is dissolved—even the name of " Daniel O'Connell" cannot now raise an insurrection. The masses endu: the new authorities with the most surprising patience; some of old Dan's " joints" have already begun to play the courtier; there have been several remarkable defections from his principles ; the spirit of the Vicar of Bray has confessedly taken possession of a number of his ecclesiastical corps, and foul scurrility has ceased to flow even from his own tongue with its wonted ala crity. The Conservatives reign, and yet the threat ened storm does not rise. Last week the new government obtained a signal attestation to the truth of what We represent, at Earl de Grey's first levee, which was, it is said, the most numerously and respectably attended of any ever held in Ireland before or subsequently to the 20th August, 1821, when his late Majesty George the Fourth held a royal levee in Dublin. On this occasion the arch demagogue seems to have been ridden by his evil genius ; and the opportunity which he looked to as that which should greatly gratify his own vanity, and exalt biro in the eyes of his deluded followers, proved to be the source of his most distressful mortification He had to endure the painful spectacle of her Majes ty's Conservative representative being honoured in the most signal manner by the homage of all the most distinguished and esteemed persons in the country, and to feel in his own person the ludicrous contrast which he exhibited, notwithstanding his official robes, when, as if it was manifest to all, he was making an attempt to ascertain what figure he, as represeutative of the disaffected, should make in comparison with the viceroy himself. This failure afforded the utmost merriment to all his foes. So unnerved was he by the expression which he observed on every countenance, that he completely forgot his part as courtier—attempt ed to enter the presence chamber with his hat on— committed a positive breach of etiquette by having his sword-bearer to precede him—and after meeting with a frigid, nay, freezing reception, went off the stage With awkward exit, amid the jeers and titters of all beholders. Alas for the great three-tailed bashaw, so long the terror of all Whigs, and the hard task-master of their obsequious cabinet ! Behold him dressed up in a Lord Mayor's suit, only to make his downfall the more con- spicuous ! Ay, wrap him up in a scarlet cloak, (his church is partial to the colour,) and put a cocked hat 1 on his head; yea, put a gold chain round him, and adorn him with pins, buckles, and other ornaments; and then let him " Ride a cock horse to Banbury Cross, To see the old woman With rings on her fingers and bells on her toes,—" And then—we may as well finish it— " We'll have plenty of music wherever she goes." Do all this, we say, yet you.cannot make a " silk purse of a sow's ear ;" the interior, the essential rottenness will remain; and it wants but a puff of air to strip the The magnitude of the blessing which has been con ferred upon the kingdom by the late change which has taken place in the administration, cannot be so easily estimated by a constant residence in England, as by one who sojourns in a part of the empire where the complexion of everything that belongs to social hap piness is deeply and immediately reflected by the cha racter of the executive. It is an easy matter to govern those who are themselves willing to be governed. In ordinary times, what more easy than to conduct the office of the Home Department with reference to the mere preservation of peace and order within the con fines of Great Britain ? Englishmen are then their own peace•preservers. They are satisfied with their institutions; they have no desire to change them; and the great hulk of the people would be little affected by a change of ministers of any ordinary character. But all this is different in a country or in a part of the kingdom where the internal disposition to peaceable government is wanting; where discontent prevails; and where, so far from an approval of the existing or der of things, there is a constant and very general de sire for its subversion. Here everything depends on the hand that rules; all ranks of the people are in stantly and most sensibly affected by the character of the living authority; and their very pulse moves in unison with his. It will be readily conceded that such is unfortunately the case, in a very great degree, with Ireland ; and hence we have been led to watch with so much anxiety the effects, in that country, of the late important transfer of power from Radical to Conserva tive keeping. The Whigs used to tell us, in their day, of the norvellous influence of their government in producing tranquillity; but their proofs were not by any means satisfactory. The police returns showed a positive and most serious augmentation of every species of criminal offence; Tipperary was as fruitful as ever in homicides; and through n the hoase of the charlatan ; and it is a happy omen as a We may safely pronounce th tin• the country of which he )reeminently the curse repose that pernicious habit altoge ighly flatter here is one subject—scarcely second to it in itn- portance—to which the government of Si: Robert Peel and Lord Stanley may at this moment consistently ievote a portion of its attention. Need we say that we allude to the subject of immigration of the free abourers of other countries into our West Indian !olonies ? In the securing of an adequate supply of abour in those inexhaustible and fertile mines of wealth, what vast benefits to the interests of British commerce—what invaluable results to the interests of humanity itself—are involved ! With proper culture, is colonies of Great Britain are sufficient to supply, ith their products, the markets of the whole world. hey demand only to be furnished with hands to till their rich soils and to gather the fruits of their teeming Luxuriance; and in return, they offer to the British merchant the benefit of their increased production of British produce and manufactures. Already, by the encouragement which has of late years been given to the trade with our Eastern Em- pire, the importance of that portion of our possessions, as a consumer of British manufactures, is rapidly de veloping itself. In Bengal the imports of cotton goods from Great Britain nearly tripled themselves within the last three years, as will lie seen from an authentic statement which we quote : a 1837-38 the value of cotton piece goods imported was 59,60,000 Rs 72,00,000 96,00,000 138,00,000 'lB3B-39 1839-40 1840.41 Ind in Nvoolleu goods the increase is extraordinary— he value of the imports of this staple manufacture , eing— In 1837-38 1838-39 1839-40 1810-41 In haberdashery, iron, malt liquor, hardware, and other articles, the increase is in a similar ratio. That a similar result would attend the development of the mighty capabilities of our West Indian posses sions we cannot doubt ; and at a time when we are threatened with exclusion from the markets of the Brazils, unless we consent to meastires• hostile to Bri tish interests in those islands, it cannot surely be out of season to call the attention of the government and of the colonial office to the important and pressing na ture of the question. With a supply of labour, at all adequate to their wants, our West Indian colonies would speedily be in a position to fear no hostile efforts of the anti-colonial faction here, and as little to dread any foreign competition ; and we are satisfied that an enquiry instituted by government would at once elicit the fact, that the means of transport to those colonies are alone wanting to secure the object which the colo nists have in view, and at the same time to provide for the languishing commerce and manufactures of the mother country a market far more than able to supply any deficiency which can arise from the threatened de- 9,00,000 Rs 7,00,000 9,00,000 17,00,000 - ection of the Brazils. We have the more confident hope that the import nee of this subject will impress itself upon the govern nent, from the character and identity of the distill .uished statesman who now holds the of the olonial office, and under whose notice it must come. 'o Lord Stanley we owe the carrying out, without the commission of injustice, of the noble measure of negro emancipation; and we cannot believe that his lordship, watching as he must have done the working of that measure, can he unconscious of the fact that, by its consequences, as evinced in the prosperity or decline of the West Indies, must stand or fall the question whe ther slavery is to cease throughout the world, or to be perpetuated in a harsher form , and with add e d cruel ties in every land save that of England an d h er co l o- Marge and liberal measure of immigration will ensure to those colonies a permanent and solid prospe rity, which will proclaim to the world that free labour can co mpete upon equal terms with slavery—that the cause of humanity is not a losing' .cause ;—and without such a measure we are confident that the progress of s been so long and so One of Ireland's chief wants —tile absenco of excitement, and a discon- Ind it is g circumstance that her new Chief ;oVernor takes every suitable means to promote that The adoption of a system of emigration, upon a ;arge and comprehensive scale—a measure which is at length taken up in earnest by her Majesty's govern ment—we regard, as indeed, we expressed in our last publication, as one of infinite importance to a commer cial and manufacturing community. At the present moment too, with the stagnation and distress which we see around us, its consideration is peculiarly well timed ; for we are quite satisfied that it cannot have escaped the notice of the government, and must be impressed by them upon the community, that the true source of the commercial greatness of this country, the mainstay, at all times, of her manufacturing in dustry, are to be found in her vast and increasing co- 'onial possessions. " Our Colonies " writes a London contemporary, the :y (Jerald, " are certainly our most profitable ex ernal customers ; our population at home is rapidly descend- ing into pauperism ; thousands are desirous, in the agony of their present wretchedness, to transfer their labour to those dependencies where their services are in demand ; and by such transfer, numbers who are now a burden on the rest of the community, might undoubtedly be converted into 'valu- able consumers of our products. New sources of revenue to the state, new channels of employment for the people, new fields for advantageous investment of the capital of the , would, it cannot be denied, be created by the en coul,g,nent of emigration to the territorial colonies of the United Kingdom." And yet we venture to predict, that the proposition of any measure by which the admitted disposition of numbers of our impoverished fellow-countrymen to make that transfer of their industry to our colonies is to be encouraged, will be met, by the unprincipled spouters of the free trade agitation, with a sneer of contempt, if not even with a shout of execration and disappointment. " The philosophers " can see nothing which lies beyond the day or the hour. The perma nent strength of the empire—the permanent comfort add happiness of its people—are not the objects of their care, or towards which their truculent agitation is directed. They never descend to weigh the benefit to be derived from a commerce with free and indepen dent British people, established in happy affluence in our distant colonies—consuming the best fabrics of our looms and favouring exclusively the products of the mother country—and those to be reaped from a scramble in the markets of the world for a temporary supremacy,—at the sacrifice of the comforts and the moral welfare of the labouring population at home, whose very heart's blood is systematically wrung from them drop by drop to purchase and to sustain it, — to feed the bloated and unwieldy thing in whose growth are embarked the peace and security of Great Britain, and whose course is to desolate and to trample down the industry of other nations. On the contrary, we are satisfied that it would be a source of grief and bitterness to our manufacturing free-traders to see any considerable number of the distressed population of Great Britain deported from the scene of their wretch edness, by a humane effort of legislation, and allowed to establish themselves in a land of plenty, and iu a condition of well-rewarded industry ; and that they would infinitely prefer seeing them pine on, under the wasting hand of poverty, as sores upon the face of the land, to subserve the ends of agitation, until they can he subjected to the torture of that state of " transition" which they must pass through before the tillers of the soil—the hardy yeomanry and agricultural labourers of Great Britain—can be converted into the living mechanism required to attend a spinning-jenny or a power-loom. We nothing fear, however, that the government of Sir Robert Peel will be driven from its wise and aumane purposes by the sneers or the threats of an unprincipled and disaffected faction. A noble field of xertion is before them. They have within their reach the means of extending British influence—of extending British commerce to a degree almost incalculable. They have within their reach the means of adding, almost without limit, to the sum of human happiness and to the spread of civilization. They have the power of establishing the supremacy- of the British name throughout the world and for ever; and they will not, we are satisfied, neglect the opportunity.
