Eibtrpoot tanbarbf TUESDAY MORNING, OCT. 19, 1852. OPENING OF PARLIAMENT. A CABINET COUNCIL was held on Friday, prepa- Council, which was held at ratory to a Privy Windsor Castle on Saturday afternoon, and attended by all the principal Ministers of State. The chief business was the further prorogation of Parliament from the 21st of October to Thursday, the 4th of November, and a proclamation has been issued, summoning the Parliament to meet on that day for the despatch of public business. The first business will be the election of Speaker, and the swearing in of the members; so that a few days will elapse before the QUEEN'S Speech will be delivered, and the real business of Parliament will begin. Taking the precedents of former Parliaments, a week has ordinarily been occupied in this preliminary busi ness; but as some impatience has been manifested respecting the arrangement for the DUKE'S funeral, it is not improbable that the time for swearing in will be shortened, and that the Speech will be delivered on Tuesday, the 9th of November. That, however, may interfere with the usual ceremonies observed on what is called Lord Mayor's Day, and, if so, the 11th (the day originally named) will be the time for the actual commencement of business. an army of more than half a million of men, the press reduced into subserviency, and the most dan gerous men transported or exiled, he may be all in all so long as there is something to achieve ; hut, when the Empire is become an fait accompli, and, like ALEXANDER, compelled to move on, he weeps for new worlds to conquer, what human ingenuity or new phase of political combinations is to binder the men to whom he owes his power from seeking to make the Empire a reality, by indulging in their thirst for military glory ? The self-confidence of England in her commercial greatness, and the sur render of political power into the hands of her shopkeepers, has damped the military ardour which won the fields of Cress), Poictiers, Agincourt, and Waterloo, and crippled the national defences : the last-mentioned defeat still rankles in the breasts of Frenchmen, and, while we are looking on with apathy at the pageantry and enthusiasm which greeted the progress of Louis NAPOLEON, and led him by rapid strides from the Presidency to the Emperorship, the French may be preparing them selves for a new contest, in which our want of pre paration may enable them to wipe out their never forgotten defeat on the plains of Waterloo. There are many who will attempt to argue that there are no grounds for alarm, because the President has maintained a show of peace to England ; but while we cannot forget his obliviousness of all obligations when he assumed his present position, we must be equally mindful that his ability to preserve the pre sent friendly relations with this country is mainly, if not solely, dependent upon that immense military force which, having no tie of personal loyalty, must be kept in fealty by succumbing to its instincts, which are indissolubly connected with the gratifi cation for the excitement of conquest. " THE TIMES" ON THE DUKE'S DEATH THE THUNDERER of Printing-house-square some times reminds us of the crack-shot, duelling bully of the last generation. When legitimate causes of quarrel do not presentthemselves, he spews great ingenuity in inventing specious ones. The last subject selected for an attack upon the Government is the DUKE of WELLINGTON'S funeral. Because HER MAJESTY has graciously pleased to defer the celebration of the obsequies of her most illustrious subject, and the nation's most honoured champion, till the other estates of the realm can take part in it, and thus render this act of respectful commemoration a truly national one, The Times, reasoning with equal pre cision and charity, concludes that the Government are conscious of utter weakness, and are feeding their hopes upon the chapter of accidents. " When a man's position," says the Oracle, "is not itself a good one, or his game rather question able, he is apt to rest his hopes on calamities. Any thing for a better hand." Profound observations, no doubt; but how appli cable ? Who says Lord DERBY'S position is not in itself good ? Who says his game is questionable ? And supposing even his position were bad, and his game questionable, how, in the name of common sense, could he rest his hopes on such a calamity as the Duke's death ? Oh ! says The Times, " the Irish famine settled the Whigs in their seat in '47 ; so the Protectionists hope to get a respite, and eventually a reprieve in the loss of England's greatest man. The object now is to nurse the ca lamity, and prolong the state of political suspension." The analogy between the consequences of the DUKE'S death and the time of the potato rot, is one which we in vain try to discover. We can under stand how the disease of the vegetable might have been nursed in order to serve a political purpose, but how the dissolution of the great general and statesman can be used for such a purpose, is quite beyond our comprehension. The Times' writer, however, seems perfectly contented with the just ness of his conjectures and the cogency of his argu ment, and sums up the matter crushingly, by say ing—" When Ministers hope to tide over a Minis terial crisis, and to fix themselves in their seats by the preparations and distractions of a long deferred funeral, the dodge is on a level with that of contra bandists, who smuggle spirits in hearses and lace in coffins." Of a truth, the Thunderer can drivel in the long vacation. To any one who has the slightest experience of controversy, the selection of such topics as the Times has recently chosen for the subject of attack against the Government, will appear the surest evi dence that Ministers are substantially unassailable, that their position is a very secure and hopeful one, and that they already enjoy a large share of public sympathy and confidence. We have formerly pointed out how noteworthy a circumstance it is, that the first act of the new Parliament should be one of a character so truly national ; and how espe cially becoming it is for Her MAJESTY'S present Ministers to take the initiative in the interesting ceremonial. Lord DERBY and his colleagues will do their duty on the occasion ; so will the whole People of England; and politicians of all hues of opinion will unite to do honour to the illustrious dead. But to suggest that the noble Earl will trade upon the sympathies of the nation, and will, on the strength of the due performance of such an obvious duty, extort popular respect and assistance for his Government, involves the belief that Lord DERBY and the PEOPLE OF GREAT BRITAIN are unacquainted with each other's character, and are wholly undeserving of reciprocal respect. THE " RELIGIOUS EQUALITY" SHAM. THE last, and most impudent, " sham" in an age not unprolific of " shams," is "Religious Equality." The Tenant-right and Religious Equality League, which has recently been conspiring in Ireland for the purpose of obstructing the Imperial Govern ment, seems to be the vainest and most contempti ble of the Associations which have from time to time cursed that unhappy country with factious npibation under the. oolour of putrid:4lam. 06111, by gone experience teaches us that even such a con federacy may do its modicum of mischief ; and it therefore becomes a duty of the Press for the inter est of the public to unmask the Impostor League, and expose the hollowness of its pretensions. That done,—Qui vult decipi, decipiatur. There is, as some of our readers may know, a Roman Catholic newspaper called The Tablet, pub lished in Dublin, and edited by Mr. F. LUCAS, an Englishman, quondam a Quaker, and now Roman Catholic member for MEATH. In the pages of The Tablet frequent notice has been taken of the movement going on among the Irish Roman Catholics, for the purpose of obtaining " Religious Equality," and in that movement the name of Mr. LUCAS has been conspicuous. In the columns of The Tablet it was declared on one occasion, apropos of this topic, that " the first step towards attaining " the blessing of secure homes and safe altars, must "be the destruction of everything in the shape of " privilege, precedence, monopoly, or unfair advan " tage on the part of the Established Church." These are principles which are professed by others than Roman Catholics ; and a Protestant champion of them, Sir CULLING EARDLEY, seeing them an nounced in the pages of The Tablet, resolved to put the sincerity of the Roman Catholic I to the test All the world has heard how a Tuscan gentl nd lady, named MAurAr, have been conder to imprisons having dared to read the Scri half t es privately, to worship GOD out of the Church of R induce upon religious freedom has r y excited inucil indignation throughout Europe, and a deputation from GREAT BRITAIN, FRANCE, HOLLAND, SWITZERLAND, and GERMANY, has been ap pointed to wait upon the GRAND DUKE of TUS CANY to solicit the liberation of the persecuted prisoners. _ _ _ Now Sir CULLING EARDLEY, struck by the manifestoes of the Irish " Religious-Equality" gen tlemen, addressed a letter to Mr. Lucas from Geneva, in which he alluded to the language in the Tablet, to Mr. LUCAS'S position, to the MADIAIS' case, and the deputation ; and then asked Mr. LUCAS whether, on meeting the deputation at Marseilles, as he (Sir CULLING) expected to do, he might inform them that they had his (Mr. Lucas's) permission to state, that he regarded with indignation the incarceration of the M ADI AI, and wished success to the deputation. Well, Mr. LUCAS condescended to send Sir CULLING an answer—an " I-wish-you-may-get -it" kind of an swer—enveloped in logic and eloquence of the true Tablet style and pattern. According to Mr. LUCAS' equality doctrines, goose and gander are not to have the same sauce. " Religious Equality," in the eyes of the pervert Quaker, is the same as the as cendancy and sovereignty of the Popish religion, or at all events it amounts to the utmost license for Roman Catholics in a Protestant country summary repression •of Protestantism in Popish countries. One extract from the cogent argument of the modest LUCAS will suffice for our readers : " I shall not enter at any length with you," he says to Sir CULLING EARDLEY, " into the differ ence between, on the one side, a Catholic govern ment, in an exclusively Catholic country, taking means to prevent the introduction of heresy for the first time among an exclusively,Catholic popula tion ; and, on the other side, a government, whe ther Catholic or Protestant, ruling over a mixed po pulation of Catholic and Protestant subjects, which ever denomination may have the majority. In the former case, no native inhabitant of the state can become a Protestant without committing a crime in the sight of God, and without inflicting an injury on society." Com' ment on such transparently absurd reason ing would be almost an insult to our readers. And who is the man that judgeth thus ? If in a Catholic country to become a Protestant be a crime in the sight of God and an injury to society, what is it to become a Catholic in a Protestant country, where the light and the truth of the Gospel are so abundant as in our favoured ENGLAND ? Contemptible as the Religious Equality move ment may be, it would not be wise to allow its dis guise to remain undisturbed ; and the Protestant cause is therefore indebted to Sir CULLING EARD LEY for his prompt and opportune exposure of a leading actor in the imposture.

T. BELL, Secretary and Actuary, 67, Cheapside, London THE CONTESTED WARDS. The wards in which it is likely that anything like an exciting contest will take place at the ensuing municipal election are, so far as we can at present judge, few in number. St. Anne's, in which Mr. F. Shand is opposed by Mr. T. L. Hodson, will be energetically battled for by the friends of the latter gentleman ; and it is currently reported that they are prepared to sport their money freely on the occasion, one gentleman in particular, hav ing made a very handsome contribution towards the expenses of the contest. What any of the parties have heard of their candidate to lead them to suppose that he is likely to be any very great acquisition to the council, we are at a loss to know. All that we are aware of very striking in his previous municipal feats, when member of Vauxhall ward, from which he was summarily ejected, is that he chattered a little against the Pike scheme ; and when in London on a deputation upon the subject, he charged the modest sum of £7O or £72 for nine days' loss of his valuable time. The doctor on that occasion was a dear bargain to his friends ; and we record the fact lest the constituency of St. Anne's Ward should commit the very common error of taking " omne ignotum pro magnifico." Mr. Shand's friends are very sanguine of their candidate's success, notwithstanding the money which is at Mr. Hodson's back, and the uses to which it is said to be put. In West Derby, Mr. William Earle comes forward, without a ghost of a chance of success, to oppose Mr. Arthur Henderson, and to create ill feeling in the ward. Perhaps lie has a grudge against the constituency for its signal rejection, on a former occasion, of his relative, Mr. George Hall Lawrence. We observe that a Radical con temporary advocates the return of Mr. Earle, on the ground that there has been no fun in the Council since he ceased to be a member; and there would be some reason in the argument, if the main study of a constituency was to return an oddity. The burgesses of West Derby, how ever, do not view their duty in this light ; and we are informed that there is no doubt of Mr. Arthur Henderson being placed once more at the head of the poll. Mr. Earle's pro-Popish, or we suppose they must be called " Liberal" leanings, are not particularly acceptable in that ward. In St. Paul's ward, the contest seems to be entirely one between individuals and classes, and not involving any particular party or local question. The struggle between Mr. Godfrey and Mr. Savage will be a severe one. In Abercromby ward, where Mr. Hall, the retiring member, was threatened with a contest, the opposition candidate, MI:. Robertson Gladstone, will not, it is thought, present himself to the constituency. Mr. Gladstone has recently suffered a severe bereavement in the los s of his eldest son ; and the turmoil of an election cannot be at present his choice. In Great George Ward Mr. M'Nicoll, a well-known member of the timber trade, has just come forward in op position to Mr. Rogers, the present member. His views, as to keeping that trade at the south end of the town, are likely to be very popular with a portion of the constituency. ST. ANNE'S WARD A numerous and highly-respectable meeting of the electors of this Ward was held last evening at the Pon tack Inn, Christian-street. The object of the meeting was to promote the election of F. Shand. Esq. There were present Mr. Alderman Parker, Mr. R. H. Hough ton, Mr. S Holme, Mr. Toulmin, Mr. W. J. Horsfall, Mr. J. M. Wood, &c., &c. . . . Alderman PARKER was called to the chair, and, in in troducing Mr. Shand to the meeting, said it was not his intention to compare the individual who had come forward to oppose Mr. Shand. The latter was known to Clem all as the representative of one the wealthiest and most influential houses in the town. (Cheers.) As to his opponent, Mr. Llewellyn Hodson, his conduct reminded him of the man and the ass. (Laughter.) He said to the Tories, when he was asked respecting his poli tics, that he was a Conservative, and when spoken to by the Radicals, he said. " lam as good a Radical as any of you, for I voted in favour of Cardwell and Ewart." (Hear.) He concluded by introducing Mr. Shand to the meeting. Mr. SHAND, on presenting himself, was received with loud cheers. When they ceased, be addressed the electors at some length, explaining his opinions, and concluding by saying that if they chose to accept him as their repre sentative, he would do the best which his time, his talents, and best attention enabled him to do. The first resolution was proposed byMr. NICKSON, and seconded by Mr. MANGER. It was as follows :—" That this meeting pledges itself to use all legal means to secure Mr. Shand's return to the Town Council for this ward." The motion being put from the chair was carried un animously. M HOLME -dr. S. -hen addressed the meeting at some length, enforcing the claims of Mr. Shand, who, from his position in the town, would confer honour upon the ward and serve its interests faithfully. Mr. W. J. HORSFALL also addressed the electors in favour of Mr. Shand. Mr. TOULNIIN said he was desired by Mr. Nicholson, who, it had been reported, was acting as chairman of Mr. Hodson's committee, to say that he was not chairman of the committee ; that he took no interest in his election whatever, and should not support him. (Applause.) Mr. Toulmin said the reason why he objected even to sit in the same room with Mr. Hodson was, because twelve months ago he heard him say that " he did not care a d-n about the Council, they were all a set of d-d humbugs." ion by t ae heav had at cl take c THE DERBY GOVERNMENT, WHILE the position and prospects of the present Administration are still in abeyance, waiting patiently for that constitutional verdict which must ensue on the approaching meeting of Parliament, the political world is only left to judge by the signs of the times as to the probable future. If we were to take fur example the manly and straightforward course pursued by the Government during the late session of Parliament, the high character for ability and integrity possessed by the individual members of the Administratiou, and the changes in the repre sentation which took place in the late election, we might augur the most favourable results, and confidently congratulate the country upon the good times in store for it, and the hopes of reviving trade and restored confidence which shall bring " peace and plenty to each pleasant home." But we have still stronger grounds upon which to build our expecta tions of national blessings, and we find them in the virulence and pertinacity with which the organs of Radicalism and disorder revile the Constitutional Ad visers of the Crown. The Times, assuming to itself to be the leading journal of Europe, and the especial organ of public opinion, betrays its disappointed ambition and its mortification at being rejected as the Ministerial paper, by the venom of its attacks on every member of the Administration. No stone is left unturned, no opportunity thrown away, no means left untried of showing its malevolence and spleen, and the fair field of political warfare is over stepped in order to indulge its bitterness of hatred, proving beyond its intention that the probabilities of Ministerial success are so good as to need such a guerilla style of attack. Even in our own town the Mayor could not exercise the rites of hospitality to the Earl of DERBY with the reserve which properly attaches to the amenities of social life, without pro voking a diatribe of abuse, the malignity of which is only surpassed by its excessive stupidity. There would indeed be an end to all the courtesies of private life, if the conversation of every dinner-table in which men of note take part is to be made the theme for party controversy ; and while the Mayor of Liverpool showed his good sense and gentle manly feeling in excluding from his hospitable board those who would make it an opportunity for grati fyingtheir desire for political strife, the Times showed the utter weakness of its cause and confession of defeat in making so judicious an exclusion the theme for a senseless attack. We are satisfied, and so is every man whose good opinion is worth having, that however difficult may be the task which the Ministers have before them, they are capable of per forming it; and the course which the Times has pursued affords only a further proof that our poli tical opponents are convinced of the same truth. THE FRENCH EMPIRE. THE tour of Louis NAPOLEON in search of popu larity has at length been brought to a conclusion ; the popular voice has already declared, in cries of Vine l'Empereur, their concordance with the views of personal ambition entertained by the self-elected President, and all that remains to be done is the formal declaration of the Empire. In order to carry out this object there will be no lack of precedents, for the great NAPOLEON, when he saw his way clear, went through the farce of an appeal to uni versal suffrage, and was rewarded with the votes of between three and four millions of his willing slaves. Louis NAPOLEON has improved upon the example of his great uncle, for, when the appeal was made, after the coup d'etat of the 2d of December, he had more votes recorded than the whole number of the male adults of France. _ With such pliant machi nery at his command, he can, therefore, safely appeal to the fiction of popular approval with no doubt as to the result, and a very short time may suffice to see Louis NAPOLEON installed as Emperor of France upon the basis of the public will. If such a change in the mere name of the absolute ruler of Frahce had sole reference to the social position and political condition of the French people, we might safely leave the whole question to the speculation of political theorists, as one in which we had no imme diate concern. Unfortunately, however, there is mixed up with it a consideration for the future peace of Europe, and upon this ground we have a direct and immediate interest in the settlement of the question. It is true that Louis NAPOLEON, in his speech at Bordeaux, has indulged in professions of peace, and endeavoured, with praiseworthy zeal, to base his hopes for the future on the maintenance of friendly relations with the other powers of Europe ; but we cannot and ought not to forget that he derives his present influence and position through a violation of all oaths and promises, and that the Empire, the restoration of which he so ardently covets, has all its associations concentred in the military conquests of the idol of France. If the aspirations of Louis NAPOLEON mean anything,— and all his claims bear reference to his relationship with the Emperor NAPOLEON,—they mean a revival of that military glory which was eclipsed by the defeat at Waterloo. In no other sense is his ambi tion intelligible to Frenchmen, and we can only view his elevation to a similar title as a prelude to some attempt at military conquest, which may once more light up the fires of warfare, extinguished for nearly forty years, through the genius and the pru dence of the great dead whom we are now lament ing. We are willing to admit that Louis N may be sincere in his fessions f peace—he may y covet a pose iich may give defeat— I old, "T strength of Israel i LONDON AND NORTH-WESTERN RAILWAY CAUTION TO TRAVELLER& A DVERTISEIVIENTS from the SHREWSBURY RAILWAY COMPANIES, recommending their Route in connexion with the Lines of this Compajay, having appeared, THE PUBLIC IS WARNED against a MIS-STATEMENTS as to saving contained in them, d the LONDON AND NORTH-WESTERN COMPANY sill not be responsible for any pecuniary loss or delay wych Parties who are guided by them . may sustain.

Amongst the gentlemen present we noticed, Hugh Neill, Esq., in the chair ; Jas. Procter, Esq., J. C. Gardi ner, Esq., R. Griffith, E,q., Thomas Muncastcr, Esq., Alderman Cooper, W. J. Waddington, Esq., and J. Macnaught, Esq. . . _ Mr. 11 - UGH NEILL, one of the representatives of the ward, was called to the chair, and stated his regret that the chairman of the committee being at present laid upon a bed of sickness, and unable to take the chair, he had to do so in his stead. Having read the requisition calling upon Mr. Hall to come forward again, and passing a high eulogium upon Mr. Hall's conduct since he entered the council, he called upon that gentleman to enter the room. Mr. Hall entered, and was received with great applause. The Chairman stated that they were threatened with a battle in the ward, for which it was necessary that they should be prepared ; but he begged that under the afflic tion the gentleman in question was at that moment labouring, having recently lost his only son, they would speak of any changes of principle which he had made in a kindly spirit. Mr. HALL then proceeded to address the meeting, and expressed his trust that he had always in the Council done his duty, seeking only the good of the town. When he looked at the vast interest in our commerce and in the importance of the port, he felt that the office of member of the Council was an onerous charge; and proceeded to show, by statistical figures, the extent of the increase both in the shipping and population of the town since 1830. The candidate expressed his opinion in favour of Mr. Samuel Holme's proposed improvements to a great extent. It was desirable that attention should also be paid to the sanatory condition of the town, and reminded the meeting that, although they had lately sewered about twenty miles of streets, there were still about 100 miles left unsewered. He was an advocate for religious education, and would devote himself to improv ing the condition of the town, providing parks, a plentiful supply of water, and other objects. Referring to his oppo nent, Mr. Robertson Gladstone, who, it was understood, came forward on political principles, he himself, although he deprecated the introduction of the question of politics into the Council, he must still hold fast to his own Con servative opinions, and especially by a determination to do his utmost to repel the advances of Rome. Mr. MLINCASTER briefly moved the first resolution, recording the thanks of the meeting fur Mr. Hall's past services, and for coming forward on the present occasion, pledged themselves to support his election. Mr. WADDINGTON seconded. he resolution. Mr. Alderman COOPER eulogized, in forcible terms, the valuable services which Mr. Hall had performed in the Council, from his coolness and great business know ledge, unlike many gentlemen, who had gone into the Council on Conservative principles, and afterwards turned round again. Mr. Cooper referred to an occasion on which this ward had nobly done its duty, especially upon the school question, and unless extreme caution was used, they might have to fight that battle again. The motion was passed unanimously. Mr. FORBES moved the appointment of the committee ; and expressed his confidence that they could not get a better member. Having enquired of Mr. Hall what was the interest now paid upon loans, Mr. Forbes expressed his opinion that, through the agency of the present Go vernment, by a loan, money to the amount of a million sterling might be had at 2 per cent. Dr. M`NAuGHT seconded the resolution; and, having known Mr. Hall for the last 20 years, both at home and abroad, said a man of greater probity and industry he never met with. The speaker, referring to the necessity of drainage, stated that he had a son now suffering from the want of it, and he did not know whether he would live or not. His son has sent a memorial to the authori ties to pave the street in which he lived, at Everton, which he designated as the worst sewered town in the civilized world ; but it bad not been attended to, and had at length been postponed sine die. After a few remarks. he concluded by seconding the resolution, which was passed unanimously. Mr. ALDERMAN COOPER remarked upon the speech of Mr. Forbes, that they could never get money from Go vernment at 2or V, per cent. ; and attributed the defi cient sewerage in Everton, mentioned by Dr. M`Naught, to a deficiency in the act of Parliament. A vote of thanks to the Chairman was proposed by Mr. HALL and passed unanimously, and after that gentleman had briefly replied, and proposed a vote of thanks to Mr. Gardner—who was at present unfortunately absent from ill health—passed by acclamation, the meeting broke up. CORONER'S COURT, YESTERDAI OMNIBUS ACCIDENT.-01.1 the 9th instant, a man named Robert Baxter, in company with another person, got on to Huey's omnibus, in Dale-street. He had bad some drink, and when about four and a half miles from the Exchange, and near a village called " Bragg's House," he had an altercation with some other persons on the omnibus. He then declared he would go no further, and ordered the giver to stop. Th e elver immeatatetv checked his horse, but before he bad quite pulled up, Baxter attempted to get down. The person who was with him laid hold of the collar of his coat to prevent him doing so, but he insisted on going down, and eventually fell on the road and received severe injuries. He was taken into a beer-house at " Bragg's House," and a coach being brought from Wavertree, he was removed to the Liverpool Infirmary, where he died on Friday last. Pre vious to his death, deceased stated to his brother that the wheels of the omnibus had passed over his left leg, but did not blame any one but himself for what had occurred.
