Bank of Stockport, DREADFUL MURDER.—An account has been received of the murder of a young farmer named Thomas Stack poole, which was committed near Miltown.Milbay, in the county Clare. He took some land a little time ago about which the former tenant had a dispute with the proprietor, but with which the murdered man had nothing to do. He was returning on Saturday night from a neighbour's house, to which he had been invited, when he was brutally murdered. Two men are in custody supposed to have been concerned in this dreadful crime. The following additional particulars with regard to this horrid murder have been received : " MII.TOWN MALDAY, TUESDAY, SEPT. 21.—1 t would appear that the unfortunate deceased was to have come into possession of property to the amount of £6O or £7O per annum on attaining his majority, and that in the event of any calamity befalling him, this annuity would revert to the uncle, Thomas Stackpoole, as next of kin. On the night of Saturday last, the deceased arrived at his uncle's house at Bleanalega, near this place, having been previously invited to spend the following Sunday with him, and shortly after his arrival it would appear that the diabolical act was committed, which sent the unfortunate young man to an early grave. His mutilated remains were found on Sunday afternoon, some distance from the uncle's house, at a place near the Sandbills, the skull dreadfully battered, his cap on his head, nearly clean, and having the appearance of being put on after the murder; and his boots lying near his head, also clean, and just as if they had been deliberately placed there. It is said, that in consequence of the uncle having absented himself on Sunday, suspicion was aroused, and he and his family arrested soon after the body was found. A little child of his becoming alarmed, afterwards began to cry out, and said it was not she did it, and named some parties whom she said committed the foul deed in the house on Saturday night, while deceased was in bed. The inquest was held on yesterday, and I understand that a man named Richard Stackpoole, a distant relative of deceased, surrendered himself to the police shortly before it, and intimated his readiness to reveal the entire circumstances. His account is similar to that of the child's, but more detailed, and implicates the uncle and aunt of the deceased Richard Stackpoole, the informer, himself and wife, and the servant boy of Thomas Stackpole (the uncle). It appears that the deceased made great resistance, and there is a cut between the forefinger and thumb of one hand, as if received in warding off the murderous blows of his cruel assailant, and the same arm is also cut in several places. After the murder was committed, it is said one of the women carried him on her back to the spot in which the body was found. The coroner's jury returned a verdict in accordance with the circumstances, and the accused par ties will be forwarded to Ennis gaol to-day, to stand their trial at the next spring assizes for this county. The in habitants of this district evince the utmost horror at the perpetration of the foul deed, and no one could be got yesterday to take charge of the house of the wretched man Thomas Stackpoole." RUSSIA.—In Posen, on the lith, there were 24 new cases of cholera, and 11 deaths. The disease, however, was so far abated that one cholera hospital is already closed. A. GREAT MAN.—Every man is great as a man, for he who possesses the divine power of a soul is a great being, be his place in society what it may. He may be clothed in rags—may be occupied in the lowest business— may make no show—be sc a rc e ly k n ow n to exist—but yet he may be more truly great than those who are commonly so called ; for greatness consists of force of soul—that is, in the force of thought, in moral principle and love, and this may be found in the humblest condition. For the greatest man is he who chooses right with the most invin cible resolution—who resists the sorest temptations from within and without—who bears the heaviest burdens cheerfully--who is calmest in storms, and most fearless under menaces and frowns—whose reliance on truth, or virtue, and on God, is most unfaltering. THE FOLLY OF PRIDE.—The Rev. Sidney Smith, for many years one of the contributors to the great Engli s h Reviews, thus discourseth on the folly of pride in such a creature as man :—" After all, take some quiet, sober mo ment of life, and add together the two ideas of pride and of man ; behold him, creature of a span high, stalking through infinite space in all the grandeur of littleness. Perched on a speck of the universe, every wind of heaven his blood the coldness of death ; his soul floats Jody like melody from the string ; day and night, on the wheel, he is rolled along the heavens, labyrinth of world;, and all the creations of God 7ll'eneatli. Is this a creature to make .mself a crown of glory, to deny his own flesh, to mock . nis fellow sprung frcm that dust to which both will soon return; Does the proud man not err? D oes h e not suffer? Does he not die ? When he reasons, is he never stopped by difficulties ? When h e li ves, i s h e free from pain? When he dies can he escape the common grave? Pride is not the heritage of man ; humility should dwell with frailty, and atone for ignorance, error, and imper fection." laming abo ipon by t Mr. WILLIrTHITEHOUSE, Co; r.

TON, how much more genuine, more significant, THE opening act of the new Parliament will be and more trustworthy are they than the tumultuous one for ever memorable in the ann a l s o f G REAT enthusiasm with whi c h a ne i g hb our i ng na ti on , once BRITAIN. It will be one in which the whole com- our greatest enemy, is now hailing the Governor of munity of the three kingdoms, as well as th e ir its choice ! Th e compar i son, or rather contrast, SOVEREIGN, will take the most lively and sympa- ought to be the source of much comfort to English thetic interest. It will be one especially grateful to men, especially wh en th e poss ibili ty of a HER MAJESTY'S present Government to propose between the two nations is constantly obtruded on and carry out. It will be most becoming and ap- our notice. The big threatening language of the propriate that a Conservative and truly national war party in France, seems t o us a l m '' - Ministry should have the satisf ac ti on o f t a ki ng th e gasconadings, when we'. lead in a public and national testimonial to the one country to that which is displa) worth and glory of England's greatest General, and The memory of WATERLOO is ye' of her most distinguished Conservative Statesman• many of the French people, and there is throughout It is an action truly worthy o f th e no bl e an d gra - all classes of them too m uc h l eaven o f j ea l ousy an d ciousnature of our beloved QUEEN, that she has hatred towards England, to render War a very irn forborne to arro g at e t o h erse lf h er un d ou b te d r i g h t probable event, or one aga i nst w hi c h t h ere i s no to direct, of her own sole auth or ity, a pu bli c f une- pressing necessity f or preparat i on. E ven w hi le thy ral memorial of the illustrious ser v a n t an d f r i en d great DUKE was expi r i ng at W ALMER whom she has lost. She has refused to exercise the Constitutionnel of that day, a sen.: such exclusive privilege, in order that Parliament, of the Government, was directly threatening an ii as the representative of the other estates of the vasion of England, and stirring up the spirit of th, realm, may have an opportunity of joining with the French people to a desire for vengeance upon their SOVEREIGN in giving to such a ceremony the ancient adversaries. Aff ect i ng to d eprecate war greatest significance and the most complete nation between France and Engla n d, i m p u d ent l y pretend ality. The sentiments conveyed from her MAJESTY ing to pity England should w ar t a k e p l ace, an d to the nation, in Lord DERBY'S letter to Mr. Secre- confidently anticipating a decisive victory for tary WALPOLE, are right worthy of the source from France, the modest Constitutionnel used this which they emanated. One passage, though in all probability already familiar to our readers, will bear quotation :—" Her MAJESTY, anxious that this tribute of gratitude and sorrow should be deprived of nothing which could invest it with a thoroughly national character—anxious that the greatest possible number of her subjects should have an opportunity of joining in it—is anxious, above all, that such honours should not appear to emanate from the Crown alone, and that the two Houses of Parliament should have an opportunity, by their previous sanction, of stamping the proposed ceremony with increased solemnity, and associating themselves with HER MAJESTY in paying honour to the memory of one whom no Englishman can name without pride and sorrow." reme conflic ook from the pictt he other t too gallit , fficial organ languge : " Invasion ! May the misfortunes which such a word represents be turned away from the English people, in spite of the frequent indignities of their politics and in spite of the oppression which their navy has so long exercised in Europe ! May we never be obliged to pass that moveable bridge which steam has thrown between that nation and ours, unless to stretch out the hand to the English, and to congratulate ourselves with them on beholding somewhat more of moderation and equity in their relations with other powers But, if even the plague of war should burst out between them and us, London might well tremble. It is not the fortifi cations on the coast, nor the active watching of a fleet, which could prevent vessels of great speed, like the Napoleon, from carrying each more than 1500 men on the first beach of England which might be bare when the tide was out. The struggle would then be transported to the land, and there, THANK GOD, we should fight with advantage." Now, be it remembered that the journal which makes use of these pacific and conciliatory expres sions, does not publish one sentence at variance with the opinions and wishes of the Government, or of that distinguished Individual who has now professed his regret that his "star " should have destined him to " conquer " England. That Parliament will respond to this gracious invitation in the right spirit, we cannot doubt. Not even " the factious forty-one" will dare to utter a syllable of dissent from the almost universal ex pression of grief and gratitude. If aught connected with death and with a national loss may be taken as auspicious, we would hail it as a happy omen that the very first proceeding of the new Parliament under the national Conservative Government of LORD DERBY, will be one tending to display so much right national feeling. We do not anticipate that the opposition of parties will be less resolute or active after such an act of sym pathy than before, but we do soberly believe, that the evidence which will be presented to the world how cordially all political parties in England can unite for truly national purposes, will help to deprive political antagonism at home of undue bitterness and animosity, and will teach our foreign rivals that they need not trust to intestine dissensions to lay England more open to the attacks of her foreign foes, or to render her unfit for vigorous defensive operations. To inspire confidence into the French people, the Constitutionnel assures its readers, with laughable audacity and insolence, that " England has always been conquered when a foreign army set foot on her soil ;" and adds, by way of proof, " the Ro mans, the Saxons, the Danes, the Normans, under WILLIAM over-ran GREAT BRITAIN." "England"never has been conquered. Like Gaul and other countries of Europe, our island has been over-run by Roman legions and by Teutonic invaders, but that was ere " England" existed o . The invasion of WILLIAM the Conqueror was the act of the English people, and he fought with English followers. But never since England was, has she succumbed to foreign foes. We are under no serious apprehension that war will soon take place between France and England, yet we ought to be prepared for it. He whose counsels were ever the ready and trusted resource of the nation in moments of peril and emergency, has warned us not to indulge in false confidence. We need but look after the necessary matters of detail. Such due preparations being made, the spirit which unites all Englishmen in sympathetic and grateful admiration of the illustrious dead, would burst forth with overwhelming power upon the invading legions of France; and the true heart of England would pro claim with voice of thunder, "This England never did, nor never shall, lie at the proud foot of a conqueror." Let us, therefore, cast away both false security and unbecoming fear, and be ever ready for the worst, remembering that We do not deem it out of place, while referring to this interesting topic, to point out to the admi ring and sorrowing fellow -countrymen of WEL LINGTON, that the quality for which they have most esteemed him in his military and civil life--the unflinching performance of " duty"—is one which is also most eminently displayed by the distin guished Statesman who is at present at the head of public affairs, and whose grateful task it has been to convey the wishes of the SOVEREIGN to the people, on this interesting occasion. The opening act of the new Parliament is one in which the EARL of DERBY is a most fitting person to take the most prominent part. PROGRESS OF THE LIVERPOOL DOCK ESTATE. THE Accounts of the Trustees of the Liverpool Docks for the year ended 24th June last, give a most satisfactory exposition of the state of the vast property under their control, and of the growing prosperity of the port. The Dues on Tonnage received during the year have been £137,754 Os. 5d.; on foreign goods inwards, £86,402 3s. 5d.; and outwards, £22,530 Is. iod. ; making a total amount of £246,686 ss. Bd. The interest on Bonds amounts to £202,374 13s. 3d., leaving a margin for ordinary expenditure of £44,311 12s. sd. The balance in the hands of the Bankers and Treasurer " Nought shall make us rue, If England to itself do rest but true." CHANGES OF THE BANKS AND CHANNELS OF THE MERSEY. --..--- RUMOUR is busy exaggerating the circumstances which have led the Merine Surveyor, Lieut. LORD, to remove many of the buoys which mark the entrance to the port. it is openly stated that the channels outside are filling up, and that we are threatened with a similar calamity to that which has befallen the once-thriving port of Chester. This is outraging truth ; yet it must be confessed that there is ground for serious misgivings on the subject. Upwards of four years ago we called the attention of the public to the danger of closing up the Pool at Wallasey, in which seven million tons of water were impounded at every tide, and available for the purpose of scouring the channels outside the port. We sheaved that from Sea combo Ferry to the Prince's Pier was the narrowest point of the Estuary of the Mersey ; and chat it was all-impor tant that the water above that point should be allowed full space to circulate, so that we should have a sufficient re flux to keep open the Victoria Channel and to sweep the banks. Our warnings were, however, unheeded ; and we learn with little surprise that the important channel in question is gradually narrowing. This is not the effect of the extension of the Dock walls to the northward. It arises purely from the loss of scouring power, caused by damming up Wallasey Pool. A similar policy, the em bankment of the river Dee, above King's Ferry, closed up the port of Chester. has increased from £103,148 15s. 11d. at the com mencement of the year to £135,096 Os. 3d. at the close. There has been received on Bond £592,944 7s. 10d., which is accounted for by the repayment of money borrowed and the cost of pro perty purchased. The Lighthouse duties have been £1 1,543 14s tod; Floating Light duties £5,092 2s 3d; Graving Dock duties, £15,645 135.; and Graving Block duties, £2,289 4s. Od. The Albert Dock Warehouses have produced for rates and rent, £60,201 14s. 3d., the working expenditure being £36,258 6s. 6d. A table embodied with the accounts, sheaving the amount of Dock Duties at the port of Liverpool from the year 1752, exhibits the most remarkable history of progress which has ever been noticed in this or any other country. In 1752 the amount received for Tonnage Dues in Liverpool was £1,776 8s 2d; and in the closing year of the cen tury,l799, it was £14,049 15s. Id., or nearly eight fold. In the following year it took a most surpris• ing leap, reaching £23,379 13s. 6d. ; and in 1810 it had reached £65,782 ls. From this point it We have no fear of immediate injury to the navigation of the port. The bay outside has been recently surveyed ; and a new map of the approaches and channels will shortly be published by the Marine Surveyor, which will afford all the information, as to the changes made, re quired to ensura safety to our Mercantile Marine. A survey, we understand, is also to be made forthw;th of the river above Garston, where the banks are observed to be Ceclined during the next three years, when it began again to increase, and has steadily progressed, until we have in the past year an amount of £246,686 ss. Bd. This, however, does not show fully the amazing improvement which hag taken place during the past 16 years, for on the 25th Sept., 1846, there was a reduction made in the rates of 381 per cent. On the it December, 1844, a reduction was made in the tonnage dues on East India vessels of 33 per cent., or about 18 per cent. on the aggregate of foreign voyages. Again in 1848, whilst Mr. BRAMLEY-MOORE was Dock Chairman, a further reduction was made, amounting to £40,000. Our progress during the past half century is best ascertained by the number of the vessels and the tonnage of the port. In 1800 the number of vessels was 4,746, and the tonnage 450,060 tons. In 1852, the number of vessels had reached 21,4/3, with a tonnage of 3,912,506 tons, or above eightfold the tonnage of 1800. in a rather tically give to the authorities, who have the very existence of our port in their keeping. There must be no further encrolchments permitted in the bed of the river above the point which we have termed its neck. It was once mooted, we believe, to reclaim some portion of Brom_ borough Pool. Such a step would be utterly suicidal. PRAISEWORTHY CONDUCT OF THE ORANGENIF.N.—CI Sunday last, information having been l a id b e f ore the Head:Constable, Captain Greig, that a funeral was to proceed from Eldon-place, Vauxhall-road, attended by a procession wearing orange favors, that officer, with Chi e f- Superintendent Ride, i proceeded to th e spot, w i th a view to prevent such a display. , e are glad to l earn t h at the party, on beinii informed that a disturbance might be created by their wearing favors, at once desisted, and followed the body of their deceased brother to the grave in their ordinary attire as mourners. INCREASE OF MANUFACTURES. WE ha few more remarks to mai increase in foreign Cotton Manufactu t publicat year, and in the U the previous year.

This fact, however, by no means acc lling off in the consumption by British North America of the cotton goods of this country, import of the United S although in excess of that of last for the than the average of the three preceding years We are quite prepared to admit that the 1_ facture of cotton stuffs in this country has increa _ much more largely than the consumption of the raw material ; and that this district is largely bene fitting from such increase. In the report, prepared by Mr. LEONARD HORNER in November last, it was stated that, in Lancashire and the neighbourhood, of which Manchester is the centre, Si new factories, employing steam power equal to 2,240 horses, had been built or set to work in the year ending 31st October, 1851. There had al s o b een an enlarge ment of mills to the extent of 1,477 horse power. This movement has been going on at an equally rapid rate during the present year, especially in those districts where fine goods are manufactured, suitable for the India and China trade. WE in fact, being driven from the make of heavy goods by foreign competition and hostile tariffs, and must take refuge in the production of lighter fabrics. But here a serious question presents itself for solu tion. Of the total crop of the United States, now ascertained from the authorised statement to have been 3,015,029 bales, Great Britain re ceived this year 1,668,789, or little more than half. We imported from other countries 256,703 bales, making a total of 1.955,492 hales. We exported, however, 194,680 hales, leaving a nett available supply of 1,760,812 bales. With our present increasing mill power, and the increased consumption of cotton going on in other coun tries, where are we to look for an adequate supply of that raw material ? We cannot depend upon America providing us with a crop of three million bales every year; and our own colonies have almost ceased to produce, the import from the East and West Indies last year having been only 54,000 bales against 158,000 bales in the year preceding. It would be well for the manufacturing interest to consider very seriously this important question. THE COUNTY REGISTRATION -.....5„,___ The revision of the lists of voters foe the southern division of Lancashire was opened on Wednesday morn ing at the Town Hall, Manchester, before J. P. Wilde, Esq., the barrister appointed for that district. Consider able interest was excited by the procee ing.s, and the court was very numerously atter Conservatives were represented by Mr. Henry Brener this town, (instructed by Mr. Sudlow, solicitor, of the firm of Crossley and Sudlow,) and the Libe Mr. Worth- ington, of the fi m of Sale, Worthington, and Shipman, assisted by Mr. Gibson, town clerk of Salford. The first set of objections brought forward by the Conservatives were against a batch of faggot voters, in Ardwick, manu factured by the League in 1545. It was wn that ducting the charges upon the property, and the commis sion for collecting, there was ne , . ' left for each owner a clear 40s. a year. The Barrister reserved his opinion upon the point, which we understand will decide a great number of votes. On Thursday the list for Bradford and Beswick was proceeded with, and on Friday the Hulme list. In these districts also the Gump faggot votes is very large. On Saturday the Manchester list was com menced. The objections upon this were 580 in number; and after going half through it 184 were struck off. The total Radical votes struck off up to Saturday night were 500, whilst the Conservatives only lost 48. The costs paid by the latter amounted to £2B, and those by the former to £7. In proportion, therefore, their objections have been more frivolous. The absence of the address of some of the voters on the notices of objection which the Radical papers made such a fu about was decided in favour of the Conservative party, the Barrister considering the name of the town being left out in the register to be a good ground of objection. He has also decided that he shall give no costs in the case of faggot voters, as he con siders it proper that the depreciation of property warrants an enquiry. The number of objections made by the Con servatives in the Manchester polling district were 1800, and those of the Radicals 1093. RE-OPENING OF ST.
