Those events have imparted a ten-fold .fidence to every lover and friend of rational my throughout the work'. They have proved d there is a sustaining power in those British titutions, which have so long been the admira aof ()filer nations. They have established the t that a people may be free, to the very verge of mae. and yet capable of restraining themselves in the temptation to phBs that verge. The Ledru Ilins and Le Blanes of the world may be startled I disappointed by such a result. The abettors outrage and spoliation may 'be abashed by the =pie set them. But real liberty has gained measurably by it ; for it has proclaimed to the rid, and to those who are jealous of untramelled man nature, that a well-disposed people may be kited to defend institutions which they respect. But, more than all, we are grateful for the lesson iid.h the events of Monday, the tenth of April, capable of teaching, if rightly regarded, to the contented portion of the working classes of our a country. We admit that they have difficulties contend with, sufferings to endure. We admit t the expectations held out to them of benefit be derived from the adoption, as the policy of state, of their own crude whims are most se !five. They have been taught to believe that it within the power of legislation directly to ensure fair day's labour for a fair day's work ;" and t this very desirable result will be achieved by a artist Parliament—by a body composed of - .terials to those which compose the Con ition at present sitting in London.

As for the sort of y who spout in Convention or at Chartist rings, they will probably be found unem d, and brawling to the end of the chapter. re some strange portents in the political —portents of coming change, for which it I be well to be prepared in time. A suspi cahn hangs around the world of party, broken by the occasional chatterings and squabbles of szr.mcnibers. We have an occasional scene, some Chartist leader has to be rebuked, or SIR JOSHUA WALMSLEY AND HIS " IMPOR- TANT AIOVEMENT." There is still hope, it would seem, for the country ; al though the country may be slightly surprised at the quar ter from which it has sprung up. Sir Joshua Wahnsley has originated a movement which has for its objet the formation of a parliamentary party, for the purpose of pressing forward the extension of the suffrage, vote by ballot, annual parliaments, and a revision of the existing system of taxation. Already the movement has received the adhesion of a number of the liberal members, by whom Mr. Joseph Hume has been chosen chairman, and Mr. Richard Cobden, deputy-chairman, and, no doubt, we shall shortly see them set vigorously to work. With respect to one of the objects of this new party — the securing of a remodification of the existing system of taxation—we approve of it entirely ; but we should have augured more favourably of their success had it been made the object of a distinct movement, in which members of all shades of political opinion might co-operate. There are many excellent members of the conservative party who are heart and soul with the middle classes, with respect to the unequal pressure of the income tax, and to the impolicy of some of our-other imposts. But the course adopted of mixing up the practical question of taxation with such questions as extended suffrage, vote by ballot, and annual parliaments, must operate as a wet blanket thrown in their faces, and prevent any real and effective co-operation on the part of such conservatives. Besides, the country at large will scarcely be willing to accept of a democratic settlement of our fiscal system by a party which represents almost exclusively the free trade section ofthe m an u facturi n g an d tradi nit interests. Th ework in g classes ought to have no confidence in such a party, whose policy throughout has been to regard as paramount the interests of the capitalist and the employer of labour, whilst they leave the labourer to struggle for himself. Our legislation for some years past has been one uninterrupted series of concessions to this party, which has saddled us with a permanent property and income tax, whilst it has depressed the condition of the working man, by letting in upon the country the competition of the foreigner; and it is much to be suspected that any modification of taxa tion, coming from such a party, will only be designed to relieve themselves further at the expense of the landowner and the working classes. The bait held out to the latter is a cunningly devised one. A pretended advocacy of the points of the charter may blind them for a moment, and lead them away from a consideration of the real evils which press upon them. But the chartist portion of the working classes may remember a certain sham co-opera tion with them, which was offered by the league gentle men some three or four years ago, and abandoned without a blush, when their object—the repeal of the corn laws — was attained. They might also see, in the results which have followed that boasted cure " far all the ills which flesh is heir to," some grounds for doubting the wisdom, as well as the honesty of intention towards them, of these new friends. THE LIVERPOOL STANDA4D. 4 j~.B~c'±~'.+l~4~M~ a V.~~~eY~:;:-s~4~s~F si ARTISAN'S SOIREE AT THE CONCERT-HALL, LAST NIGHT, Yesterday evening, a soiree was given at the Concert hall, Lord Nelson-street, which was very numerously attended by a mixed company of most respectable males and females, the latter, if anything, predominating. Amongst the attractions announced was the presence of the Earl of Sefton, who was to address a few words to the assemblage ; and, in addition to a vocal corps, of great excellence, including Mr. Henry Russell, Ryalls, and others, Mr. Read, the celebrated elocutionist of this town, was announced in one of his most admired efforts — the trial scene in the " Merchant of Venice," which has been given by him, and received with enthusiastic appro bation, by some of the most enlightened audiences in Europe. In addition, Mr. Ballantine was announced to exhibit the working of the electric telegraph and the electric clock ; and the Rev. Geo. Dawson was to address the working classes, as were several other gentlemen of the locality. An excellent tea having been concluded, preparations were made for the more important portion of the evening's proceeds. At this period we noticed the Right Hon. the Earl of Sefton, T. R. Curtis, Esq., Nathl. Caine, Esq., the Rev. G. Dawson. Wm. Rathbone, Esq. The Earl of Sefton announced that the National Anthem would be sung by Miss Whitnall ; and expressed a hope that the audience would join effectually in the chorus. God save the Queen was then sung, joined in by the company, and very excellently sung ; after which his Lordship proceeded to address the meeting. In so doing he paid a high compliment to the manner in which this institution, which he had only lately visited for the first time, was conducted. On that first occasion he had re turned home gratified with what he had witnessed, and in admiration of the kindness and attention exhibited by the members. That evening they had a rich treat before them ; and he himself came to be interested and instructed. Intellectual were here , übstituted for sensual amusement ; and there was this difference between a Saturday evening spent here and in some other places ; that there was ne cassary after it no latch key at night, and no headache in the morning. (Loud and continued cheers.) After a few passing remarks upon the events of the day, the noble lord concluded by introducing the secretary to read the report, which gave a highly gratifying account of the progress of the institution from its commencement. It had encoun tered opponents whose opinions were entitled to respect, and amongst them the pious, who were against Saturday night concerts, as being on the eve of Sunday ; but they (the committee) thought this was an ill-founded objection, and he alluded to the concert rooms, and their demoral izing effects; and there were thirty-six of these houses in the town. It was to counteract the evil influence of these places that the Saturday evening concerts-were commenced. Their object was to correct and moralize the amusement. He traced the prospects and progress of the institution and its funds from the beginning, and stated that there was a balance in favour of the institution. The sarplus could only be at the disposal of the Northern Mechanic's Institution. It was hoped they would soon be enabled to establish schools. A course of lectures was also to be given, for the working classes, the admission to be only a penny. They also intended to offer prizes (say 1 1 50) to artizans for the best specimens in their respective occupations ; and they also hoped to be enabled to establish a reading room. The mechanics must, however, trust chiefly to themselves for the increased prosperity of the institution ; for, though royalty patronised them, and nobility had aided and personally come amongst them, this would not accomplish the final object unless the mechanics came forward themselves. The committee and friends of the institution were willing to work for them, but not to beg for them. (Cheers.) Mr. W. RATHBONE made his appearance, amidst great cheering, and paid a high complement to Mr. Caine. Why should the working classes not have their musk as well as the rich. Pious persons who had opposed the institution were under a mistake, for these Saturday nights' concerts had, to a great extent, filled the church next day. He concluded by proposing three cheers for Mr. Caine, and long life to him, which were heartly given. . Mr. CAINE briefly and feelingfy - returned thanks, ex pressing his desire hereafter to do his best for the further ance of the objects in view, and urged the mechanics to support the concerts by their contributions, which would accomplish all. Mr. Russell here sung " The Slave Ship" with great feeling and effect. This he followed up by singing, with much facetiousness, " Why don't the men propose ?" GEORGE DAWSON, A.M., then spoke at great length, and with great eloquence and effect, on the general politics of nations, and the various panaceas for all evils put forth by demagogues and charlatons, whose doctrines he hap pily ridiculed—aseribing all evil government to individuals themselves, and urging that no man or class of men who hod acquired nobility of mind, by well using the industrial and moral powers that belonged to them, could be long misgoverned. His speech contained some close reasoning, and was alternately grave, philosophical, and in the similies employed, ludicrously amusing. The CHAIRMAN, after a few remarks on the previous proceedings of the evening, stated that the more amusing portion of the evening's entertainment would now be pro ceeded with, and he called upon Mr. Russell. That gentleman then sang—first, " Let's be gay," and afterwards, " The Gambler's Wife." Both were admi rablg sung ; and in the latter, the singer introduced a deep and affecting degree of pathos. Mr. READ, professor of elocution, then presented, after a short preface, explanatory of the previous scenes and the general plot of the play, the trial scene from the "'Merchant of Venice," the several characters of the Duke, Antonio, Shylock, Portia, and Nerissa,being de livered by him in vocal changes, to represent the probable voices of the various characters. The performance was a very clever one, and did great credit to Mr. Read. Mr. Russell—" I'm Afloat."

Mr. Russell and the company then sang " There's a good time coming boys," and the meeting dispersed. LATEST INTELLIGENCE. (BY EXPRESS.) STATE OF THE CONTINENT. The crisis comes on rapidly in France. The Govern ment have placarded all Paris with denunciations against the return of any but extreme Republicans to the Assem bly, while on the other hand the discontents of the work man rapidly increase. Yesterday several thousand work men marched to the Hotel de Ville, headed by M. Blanqui, to demand the dismissal of M. Marrast and " the National" clique ;" and, in the course of the day the ho tels of the members of the Provisional Gover nment re ceived troops for the protection of the ministers !

CHURCH OF ENGLAND SOUTH SCHOOL Yesterday afternoon the girls connected with the above school, in Cornwallis-street, presented their mistress, Miss Hardcastle, with a handsome writing-desk, accom panied with the following address, being the second pre sent she bias received from them. The new situation to which Miss Hardcastle is going, is the mistressship of St. Augustine's School, where she will no doubt be re warded by her usual success in imparting instruction :- - " Liverpool, April 17, 1848. " Dear Miss Hardcastle, " We, the girls of the Church of England School, Cornwallis street, beg your acceptance of the accompanying desk, in testi mony of the esteem we feel for the unwearied attention you have shown us while acting in the capacity of mistress; and we would hope that you may be blessed in all your undertakings through life, and that you may reap the fruit of the seed you have endeavoured to sow in each of our hearts sevenfold into your own bosom. We also wish you every happiness in the situation to which you are going, and that your days may pass happily and pleasantly on, that, when you are called away from this earth, it may be the summoner to a brighter sphere, where you may enjoy a crown of glory that fadeth not away.

LONDON CORN MARKET.-YESTERDAY At this day's market we had only a short supply of English Wheat, which sold here freely, and on rather better terms than were procurable on Wednesday. Having a large arrival of foreign no advance could be realised, but at our previous cur rency there was a moderate sale for fine Polish Odessa and Lower Baltic qualities. Floating cargoes of Indian Corn met more inquiry, and former rates would be freely paid for cargoes off the coast, which, however, are scarce, and difficult to be procured. Those more distant are held for rather more money, so hut little business resulted. As the malting season is fast drawing to a close, Barley ruled quiet, and only the finest Chevalier could be disposed of at late rates. Malt, Peas, and Beans in steady consumptive d2mand, with out change in value. THE FINANCIAL REFORM ASSOCIATION We understand that, a few days since, a meeting of several gentlemen intimately connected with the com• coerce of the town, took place, at which it was resolved to form an association, the objects of which are to consist in directing public ?pinion to the following principles Ist. A 'general retrenchment in the - national expendi ture. _ _ _ _ 2nd. The revision of the assessed taxes tax, and of the excise and stamp. duties. 3rd. The transfer to direct taxation of those imposts which interfere with the industry and limit the subsistence -of the mal of the people. 4th. The equitable apportionment of all needful taxa tion. Mr. ROBERTSON GLADSTONE presided at the meeting, and among the parties present were Mr. A. H. Wylie, Mr E. Brodribb, &e., & has been convened for IlillnlllCll Luau a --- to-morrow, at two o'clock, at the Clarendon-rooms. at which the attendance of parties favourable to the objects of the Association is desirable. Whilst alluding to the subject it appears to us that the objects aimed at by this new society are, in the main, the same as those which the National Confederation, recently established in this town, has, since its formation, been endeavouring to promote. Without presuming to offer a word in the shape of dictation to the respectable gentle men who conduct the affairs of both these Associations, we cannot help observing, that they would be much more likely to attain their very desirable ends if they could by any means ne so orougiii, Association. Their ends appear to be the same—and to accomplish them we certainly think they must act together. . some incipient rebel has to be put down; but the main stream of legislation flows on without a ripple. Sir Robert nods approvingly at Lord John. The followers of each appear to understand the meaning of each other, and the unwonted harmony between their chiefs. On the main practical mea sures which are brought before the legislature, op position there is none worthy of the name; and the ex-leader is either virtually a silent member of his late opponent's government, or he is "biding his time ' for a movement of his own in advance. The latter, we suspect. is the case : and such ought to be the conclusion of every man who has dispassionately studied the history of the past poli tical career of that very slippery statesman. The mind of Sir Robert Peel is never more actively taxed than when, to all external appearance, it is at rest. His most important movements have ever followed such periods of apparent inactivity. His political triumphs have ever been surprises. He has lulled his unsuspecting opponents into the con sciousness of security ; and then overwhelmed them with a step in advance, so far beyond expectation as to take away not only their breath, but that of the party which he drags with him, with pure amazement at his daring and his monstrous incon sistency. We need not refer to his repeal of the Test Acts, to his conduct with respect to the Eman cipation Bill, to his extensive modification of the Tariff, or to his latest and greatest strategic effort, the repeal of the Corn Laws. His policy has been all of a piece throughout, disappointing and unac countable alike to his own supporters and to the party o,posed to him. What, then, it will be asked, is the most proba ble field upon which the daring versatility of this man will next be displayed. To enable us to ap proach a solution of the question we must enquire what is the great difficulty, with which the present or a future Government will have to deal. It is the old and acknowledged difficulty of Sir Robert Peel—lreland. That wretched country has to be tranquillized, either by concession or by force. In its present condition, and in the present threaten ing aspect of European society, it is manifestly dangerous; a source of weakness to the British empire rather than of strength; a cancerous sore in our side, instead of a useful and efficient limb. Disaffection and threatened rebellion in Ireland must be crushed, or be coaxed into a state of rest. There are other monster evils, too, to be grappled with in that country. Whilst Great Britain is taxed by her turbulence, she is taxed tenfold more heavily by her teeming pauperism. .She is inun dating our large towns with helpless and degraded oatcasts—a population ready to snatch the bread out of the mouths of our own labouring masses, and even to appropriate the offal which they cast from them—a population bringing with them the contamination of filthy habits, steeped in ignorance and superstition, and but too ready to rush into crime. This evil can be dealt with only . in Ireland; and must he grappled by a strong hand, guided by a vigourous determination. The attempt must be made not only in consideration of Ireland herself, but in justice to England. To this task, we are satisfied it is that Sir Robert Peel is directing his mind; and the important question arises—" what is the nature of the policy to which he is likely to resort ?—to force, or to a large measure of conces sion ?" We believe most firmly that his policy will be of the latter kind ; and that the measure of con cession resorted to by the Right Hon. Baronet will stop little, if at all, short of a REPEAL Of THE LEGISLATIVE UNION BETWEEN GREAT BRITAIN AND IRELAND. GENERAL TRADE REPORT. Monday Evening. We were never much frightened at the threatenings of Chartist demonstrations ; and the past week has proved, beyond doubt, that the movement is neither dangerous nor likely to be permanent. The great Feargus, finding himself imposed upon, is half-disgusted with his myrmi dons and their dupes ; and Cobden and Co., with all their shortcomings, deserve the thanks of the community for creating a diversion in the enemy's camp. Although we are far from admitting that anything sufficiently consis tent to be beneficial can proceed from the brain of that travelled advocate of cosmopolitan reciprocalities or his colleagues, still we would rather have the pro position of radicalism, in whatever shape it may please to appear, brought forward as matter of argument, than enforced at the end of a pike, OT unpleasantly forwarded on the wings of a bullet ; and we venture to predict that the reform agitation which originated at the meeting on Thursday last has already struck a death-blow at the poli tical existence of the Cuffey's and the Jones's. This, combined with the measures progressing in Parliament for the better security of the Crown and government, has had the effect of reassuring the public mind, and reesta blishing a feeling of confidence in commercial circles. The improvement in the price of Consols, which was to be expected as a natural consequence, commenced on TueSday, and on Wednesday prices reached 834, fluctuated a little on Thursday and on Friday spewed symptoms of farther improvement, by .opening firmly at 82i, an ad vance of upon the closing quotations of the previous day bat warlike intelligence from Hambcrgh, and the unfavourable nature of the advices from Paris, operated to depress the market, and closing prices were 821 to Owing to the renewed decline of the French' fends, and to the reduction shown by the Gazette returns of £608,435 in the bullion at the Bank of England, the English mar ket was heavy throughout Saturday. Consols both for money and account, opened at 821 to I, declined' to 81k, and closed at 826. The reduction in the bullion above referred to will be understood as attributable to the de mands upon the Irish savings banks. It is also probable that various small sums, forming a considerable aggregate, were withdrawn pending the result of the Chartist demon stration ; and the commencement of the payment of the dividends must likewise have operated towards the redue tion. In the Stock Exchange, one failure was announced,. but the amount was unimportant. Friday last being the pay-day upon the settlement, passed over without any known embarrassment in the house, although there were defaulters out of doors. The new account opened is for the 9th of May. The SHARE MAna•w of the past week has worn a' brighter aspect than for some time back. Until Saturday , at noon there was a continuous advance in prices. Lon don stock rose from 120 to 128 ; quarters from 1 to 2 pre mium ; Midland from 90' to 98, and other good stocks in proportion. We regret, however, to have to add that these prices were not maintained up to last night. A lower telegraph from London on Saturday noon made our market close slightly flatter, and yesterday all prices fell considerably, London stock being ba , :k again to 125, and Midland to 95, with a proportionate decline throughout the list. There was every appearance last night of this being but the commencement of a further fall—the intel ligence from Ireland and' France being of a much less satisfactory character. We have very little to say about the CorroN Market, and certainly nothing new to add. The demand has been very good both from the trade and for exportation. The latter requires good qualities, which from their scarcity command rather higher rates. There has been a fair at tendance of consumers to-day ; the market, however, has not appeared so buoyant as Saturday's, although the sales are estimated at 5000 to 6000 bales, which have been aug mented by two or three large purchases for export, com prising 400 Orleans in a line at s+d., and 700 Uplands 41d. to sd. ; the total for export amounting to 2000 bales. Holders continue to meet the demand freely at the cur rency of Friday, at the same time without the slightest appearance of prepare. The-finest qualities of American, being comparatively scarce, command very extreme prices. The Import continues free, and in the last fortnight has exceeded considerably 100,003 bales. If the mills continue working their present time, which is rather a doubtful point, we shall keep steady and without change. Although there has been very little done in FOREIGN WOOL this week, there is no great reduction in price to notice, chiefly in consequenee of the stocks being light. There is a sale of 300 bales East India on Wednesday, which are expected to realize full prices. Imports for the week :—Foreign, from Bombay, 481; previously, 19,276 : total, 19,757. Scotch, imported previously, 4918. In Scotch Pig IRON the business done during the week has been again very limited, but from the small quantity s G ba la d s e go tm a e ce r, o a rd nd ing m t a o y n b u e m q b u e o r t s ed an a d t 4b otf las e n. ri dt n o. g 4 pr l prices The TIMBER TRADE continues very dull ; the arrivals of the month are chiefly from the Baltic. Some cargoes of Dantzic Fir have been sold off the quay and in the s 6d a . re a a t yard at 171 d. per foot, and a cargo of Crown Riga Fir, from the yard, at 2s. per foot; a cargo of Spruce Deals, now landing, is being stored on importers account; nothing of importance has been done since the last auction sale. taken place Si in Since our the tonela last, o f ,ac considera ble d eero lo A a markets i mprovement h r h as e. demand for sugar is good, both grocers and refiners pur chase freely. The sales to-day are 150 hhds. Demerara, and 500 bags Beng a l, a t full prices. The market has a much mor e h ea lthy appearance , an d the general opinion is, that the article has seen its lowest point. For molasses of good quality there is more inquiry ; 60 puncheons of : inferior fetched 17s. per lb. Rum very flat. Saltpetre scarce, good to tine quality much wanted. For Bengal rice the demand is very limited ; fine Patna is not worth more than Hs. 9d. to 12s. 3d. in bond.— In the London markets importers have been somewhat less anxious in pressing sales, but on the other hand the dealers have shown no inclination to purchase, and the tendency, therefore, has been again slightly in favour of the buyers. Prices have now undergone an incessant de cline for weeks past, bat there does not seem to be the slightest disposition towards speculation. The dealers still supply only their immediate wants, and the importers continue to realise at most ruinous rates.—lt is stated in the continental journals that the Dutch East India Com pany have declared their spring sales of Java indigo and cochineal. These will take place at Rotterdam on the 22d, and at Amsterdam on the 25th of next month. The prices of TaRACCO per lb. in bond are as follow : Virginia leaf faded, 23d. to nd. ; ditto ordinary sound, 3d. to 34d. ; middling, 44d. ; good, 4d. to sd. ; fine, 51d. to 6d. ; stemmed sound, 3d. to 61d. ; Kentucky leaf, 21d. to, 4d. ; stemmed, 3d. to 51d. ; manufactured, 4d. to 9d. The CORN TRADE remains tolerably steady, both here and in the country and Irish markets, without any ma terial change in prices, though wheat, oats, and Indian corn are generally selling for rather more money.— Prices here to-day remain the same as on Friday, when, as will be seen by our report in another column, an ad vance was obtained on most articles of the trade over Tues day's quotations. The crops, although in some parts looking ill, owing to the late heavy rains, are not consi dered in danger ; the chief mischief which has yet accrued being the retardation of the completion of spring sowing. Imports on Saturday and to-day :-330 qrs. wheat, 430 qrs. oats, 300 loads oatmeal, and 2,600 sacks flour, from Ireland ; 1,135 qrs. malt, and 380 qrs. oats, coastwise ; 980 qrs. Indian corn. and 586 barrels corn meal, from the United States; 2,230 qrs. wheat, 100 qrs. beans, and 790 qrs. pease, from Europe, &c. —Exports on Saturday and to-day :-5,700 qrs. Indian corn, 820 brls. corn meal, and 220 brls. flour. to Ireland ; and 240 qrs. wheat, 220 qrs. Indian corn, 46 brls. corn meal, 120 sacks and 600 brls. flour, coastwise. The supply of IRISH Butter is at present very limited. All the good qualities of old have been cleared off, at prices ranging from 765. to 865., and new, of which little has yet been brought into the market, sells freely at 100 s. to 1055.; but the weather is at present so favourable for the make, that we may expect large supplies soon, and consequently lower prices. Bacon is a little dearer for some qualities, and meets an improved inquiry. Fine Keg Lard sells at 60s. to 665. Arrivals for the week ending April 17th (this day :—Butter, 3746 firkins, 738 crocks ; Bacon, 63 bales ; Hams, 6 hhels ; Lard, 6 tierces, 76 kegs.

We are getting better supplied with Pork, and small parcels of Primo Mess continue to be taken, ex ship, at the full range of prices, the quality being much diversified ; this article is still wanted : a fair trade doing in Old Prime, at a slight reduction : an extensive sale has been made of Old Strips. The high price of Bacon in London still tends to keep it up here, and the article continues to betaken freely, Western at 465. @ 495., very superior qualities realising 525. There is considerable in quiry for this article to export to. Ireland, and dealers are prepared to purchase largely at a trifling reduction. At the sale of Lard, which took place last week, 3,00(1 kegs, 1,500 barrels, 1,000 pails, and 350 tubs were offered, and nearly the whale were sold to purchasers from London, Ireland, and Scotland, at prices, for kegs and barrels, in ferior, very soft and partially tainted, 375. 9d.

Owing to the high price of tallow, this article is not ex pected to be much, if any, lower. The stock of Cheese is very low ; there is no alteration to notice in price. The FRUIT MARKET displays no change worthy of note, except that the market is at present cleared of oranges, which were for some time a drug, and the price has kept advancing, until it has reached 355. 6d. for St. Michael, and 255. for Lisbon. The return from the Bank of England for the week end ing the Bth April states the amount of notes in circulation to be £18,240,635, being an increase of £572 he - - %-1 (11111 t--- stock of hullion in both departments, £14,602,431, skew ing a decrease of £608,435, when compared with the pre ceding return.
