THE LIVERPOOL STANDARD. whose hatred and fear of the spread of its baneful doctrines, and the strengthening of both its spiritual and temporal arms. are deeply seated, and founded upon conviction, the result of earnest inquiry and watchfulness. These masses, Lord John Russell, and those temporisers who hope that in a few weeks this storm will blow over, will find they are not pre pared to rest satisfied with mere protests against Papal aggression, —mere paper pellets launched against that wall of brass, with which popery sur rounds herself to prevent the entrance of truth into her fold. From any Government to which they may be willing to extend their support, they will require action, not words ; a practical hostility to wards every effort of Rome to extend her influence not only in the British Isles, but in every distant possession which owes allegiance to the British Crown. Our contemporary of the Dublin University re marks very justly that Lord John Russell, and the so-called liberal party would have been quite con tent to allow Romanists to labour in their vocation amongst us, and even to subsidize them in our colonies and at home, had they been willing to do so withObt making a parade of it. They might have gone on with their pernicious teaching unnoticed, while as we know, and palpably as we are now ex periencing to what that teaching inevitably leads, had they not prematurely exhibited to the world, in this kingdom, under the very eyes of the Govern ment, their ulterior and ambitious designs. The Protestants of Great Britain, however, we venture to assert, are no more disposed to foster popery working and mining in the dark, than popery ramp ant in the open day light. We are no longer to be hood-winked by the assertion that the system of Rome is changed ; that she is tolerant and harmless, and seeks only to advance her spiritual influence over those whom she is proselytizing. We cannot believe these pretences, with the solemn declaration made at the recent synod of Thurles before us, that she holds still firmly and unmitigated in their atrocity all that has been delivered, defined, and declared in the sacred canons and general councils, of which we well remember the use which she made in the dark ages to enslave her votaries, and to root out, by the axe and the sword, the word of revealed truth from amongst mankind. MEETING OF THE LITERARY AND PHILOSO PHICAL SOCIETY, LAST NIGHT. The fourth ordinary meeting of this society for the session 1850-1 was held last night. After the private business was got throngh, the first paper for the evening was read by the Rev. J. Robberds, 8.A., the subject be ing the Moral Influence of Socrates. So many were our avocations last night, and so large the demand upon our space, that we were quite unable to give anything like a report, or even an analyeis, of this paper. The name of its rev. author, however, is quite sntficiently known to enable our literary and philosophical readers to assure themselves that it will form an interesting feature in the society's transactions. The next paper was read by the secretary, D. P. Thompson, M.D., the subject being the Pyramids of Egypt considered Astronomically. In this paper Dr. Thomson gave a condensation of the views of Mr. Wild, C.E., who regards these structures as having been erected in part for the purposes of sepulture, heathen rites, and the perpetuation of certain grand laws in astro nomy, which were then known to the priesthood. The paper was very interesting throughout. J. B. Yates, Esq., was in the chair. EXPENSES OF THE PIKE SCHEME, STEPHENSON'S INQUIRY, &c. We have before us a list of the items of expense, as far as at present made up, attending the last bill relating to the Pike scheme, including the expenses of deputations, witnesses, &c., in London, for and against the scheme, and of the inquiry here before the arbitrator, Robert Stephenson Esq. These, it will be seen, have furnished a very handsome addition to the cost of a project already fearful in amount, taking even the estimate as not likely to be exceeded. The witnesses examined in London, on the bill in the first stages, appear to have been thirty-two in number, and to have received, in round numbers, £551. The committee from the Council who went to London were five in number ; and the sum total received by them is £l3l 17s. 6d., of which Mr. W. P. Fretne had £44 2s. 6d., and Mr. T. L. Hodson £7O. There is besides, on this head, some railway and other fares paid by the Town Clerk, of which the account is not yet com pletely made up. The counsel employed for the bill were five in number, and were paid as follows : T. C. Talbot, Eici. Sergeant Bellasis ......... 297 2 6 C. Crompton, Esq.... Burke, EF.q... Paget, Esq. .. Ditto .... Total counsel fees.. £1.701 3 6 Hotel bills were at Morley's and Fendall's £453 Ils. Ild. We have a further account of witnesses, deputations, and disbursements of various kinds, of £1,780. The total cost of the amended bill, so far as at present ascertained, ap pears to be, in round numbers, about £4,200. The cost of Mr. Stephenson's inquiry, as charged to the Corporation, amounts to £4,735. Of this sum £541 193. Ild. appears to have been paid to the parochial water committee: no names, however, appear as to who were the reripients. Mr. Greame is credited for £lOO 16s Thomas Spencer £lOB 3s:, and Mr. Rowlandson £66 155., and Mr. Simpson £lO2 4s. 9d. Gurney's shorthand writers received £227 6s. 2d. for reporting, and another £5O was paid to Mr. Pollard for reporting. The charge of Mr. Stephenson for his report was £525, and his disbursements were £2,430 193. 7d. The total cost, therefore, has been nearly £9,000, paid_ by the Council, in addition to what has been furnished out of the voluntary rate. Mr. Robert Batty, of this town, was, on Friday, ad mitted a member of the royal college of surgeons._ _ LIVERPOOL GOVERNESSES' INSTITUTION.—The Rev. H. H. Higgins will commence a course of lectures on Egypt and the Desert, this evening, in the Lecture-room of the above institution; to be illustrated by a beautiful series of dissolving views.

Wynne, Bart., and Mr. Cotton, secretary to Sir s visit to our police-court was to inform the ma- gistrate that a bracelet, supposed to have been stolen at Wynnstay by a groom, now in custody, was not the pro perty of any ladies in the habit of visiting his mansion. ST. JOHN THE EVANGELIST'S CHURCH MISSIONARY BRANCH.—Last evening the Rev. H. H. Higgins, the much respected minister, in accordance with his annual tion with a very interesting and pleasing account of the working of the society in different parts of the world, giving a statistical account of its clerical and lay labourers ; the meeting was likewise addressed by the Rev. G. W. Warre, the estimable incumbent of St. Saviour's. INFANTS OVERLAIN.—Cases of infants dying from being overlain are of marvellous frequency in this town. than two inquests of this character were held by One was the illegit offsprin the mother found her infant dead early on Tuesday sit lay in her arms. The other was the child of a woman named Murphy, who, with her husband, a block maker, lives in Jordan-street.

There is little stirring in our Colonial Markets, but prices continue firmly supported. The accounts from the Continent are somewhat more peaceable, and as the con sumption of every article continues large, we look for a revival in the demand ere long. Trade is healthy in Man chester and the manufacturing districts generally, and likely to be so, the acounts from India, per telegraph, being again satisfactory. In our Cotton Market on Saturday the sales amounted to 5,000 bales. The market steadier than the previous (lay. To-day the sales aro 6,000 bales, of which 500 bales American are on speculation. The market firm, and d. per lb. dearer for American descriptions than on Friday last—caused by the advices per steamer of yester day. The estimates of the crop of cotton in America still vary from 2,000,000 to 2,225,000 hales. Easterly winds having prevailed since Friday last, ar rivals have been only moderate. The trade has been firm and daily transactions to a fair amount have taken place. Prices of Wheat remain as last quoted ; Flour (of the finorqualities) also remains unaltered, the inferior descrip tions, however, and more particularly sour, are getting into a smaller compass, and are again somewhat dearer. Holders of Indian corn require an advance of 3d. to 6d, per cwt., which in some cases has been paid. There has not been much business done in Scotch Pig Iron during the past week, owing to the unsatisfactory accounts from the Continent, but the market is firm at 43/9 to 44/ cash, and 45/ three months, open for mixed numbers to b. at Glasgow. Bars are firm at £4 12s. 6d. to £4 153. in Wales. The following monthly report of the Wool market is sued to-day, is from the circular of Messrs. Joseph Ro binson and Co. : " Throughout last month the demand has been limited, occasioned by the threatening aspect of affairs on the Continent, which has struck a degree of fear into several of the manufac tarers, and given them a pretext for attempting to reduce prices. Under ordinary circumstances th e i r o bj ec twould have been achieved ; but the heavy consumption of the year— the healthiness of trade, with its cheering prospects, and the limited supply of all descriptions, causes an apparent indiffer ence on the part of holders to realize. The result is, that the market closes more firmly, and manyclasses of low wools have further advanced. No public sales were held here during the month, and transactions are all by private treaty, chiefly in Egyptian, Oporto, Lisbon, East India, Servia and Bosnia (to arrive) Buenos Ayres, &c. Russian Fleece. and long coarse sorts, are in request, and none to be had, even at the extreme quotations. Peruvian meets ready sale. Oporto Lambs', and the lower qualities, are eagerly purchased. Good combing Egyptian still commands high rates, and imports are wanting to supply the demand. Scotch—Laid Cheviot still continues inanimate, and cannot be sold at a reduction of 6d. per 241bs. ; Laid Highland is in moderate recuest, and sales are effected at 9s. 6d. to 9s. 9d. for good lots; White Highland has become scarce, and the extreme price quoted is demanded for indif ferent parcels; as there is little here, sales are only trifling ; Cross is not much sought after, and transactions small ; White Cheviot is readily purchased, and a supply desirable. English and Irish—The feeling is quieter, though there is abundance of inquiry ; holders are not offering freely, as they expect an ad vance before the close of the year. At the present time about 25,000 bales are offering by auction in London ; the attendance of buyers is unusually large ; a decided advance of Id. per lb. is reported in fine wools; low kinds have also sold at higher prices, which shows that there is no probability of any fall for some time hence." LATEST INTELLIGENCE BY ELECTRIC TELEGRAPH. INDIA The first sod of the East India - Railway was turned on the 25th of October. Apprehensions were entertained of disturb ances along the Punjaub frontier from Kohat southward. Lieutenant Pollock and part of the Kohat forces proceeded to reinforce the troops, when the disturbances were suddenly, and seemingly unaccountably, quelled. The latest accounts state that the danger of an insurrection was over. Advices from MAn nits are of the 25th October. The mon soon was about to set in.

Yesterday evening a large and highly respectable m6et ing of the ratepayers of Kirkdale was held in the school room in connexion with St. Mary's Church, for the pur pose of addressing her Majesty on the recent papal aggression. Amongst the parties present we observed Alderman Dover, Councillors Aked, Mellor, Hudson, and Freme, Messrs. Ham pson, Theakstone, Roskell, Buckley, Parnall, Parker, Howard, Pickop, Risien, Fraser, and Walker, and other influential gentlemen connected with the township. A few ladies were present. Mr. Churchwarden ROSKELL, of St. Mary's Church, was called to the chair. The CHAIRMAN, in opening the proceedings, said, that as senior churchwarden of the township of Kirkdale he cheerfully took the chair. He was sorry that circum stances had occurred which called for such a meeting as that ; but he was happy to say that they were acting on the defensive and not on the offensive. (Hear, hear.) Quiescence on this matter would be tantatamount to acquiescence ; and, therefore, however painful it might be to bring forward religious matters and differences amongst them, still on an important question, such as the one which had called them together, they were bound to deal with things as they found them. (Hear, hear.) He then read the placard calling the meeting. In continuation, in an energetic address, he condemned the recent move ment of the Pope of Rome, and concluded by calling upon Mr. MELLOR, one of the counillors for the ward, who moved the first resolution. From the large meeting there did not seem to be one dissentient opinion on the subject which had called them together. They did not interfere with Roman Catholics ; but when an attack was made upon them, it behoved them to come forward and declare their opinions. He had been called upon to move the resolution, which will be found in our advertising columns. Mr. AIM), another of the councillors of the ward, seconded the motion. He most heartily concurred in it. There had been so much said on the subject already in different parts of the country, that he would not say more than that it behoved them to see that Puseyism was not to be made a medium of the Romish Church over them them as Protestants. (Loud cheering.) He cordially seconded the motion. Mr. PARKER then made a most able and eloquent ad dress in favour of the object of the meeting, and, in sup porting the resolution, forcibly expressed his feelings on the crisis at hand. He trusted that the spirit which was now evinced would not cease until Protestant ascendancy was reinstated in the Government of the country. He advanced numerous quotations illustrative of the errors of popery, and recapitulated many leading facts connected with the recent movement, which he opposed, not only as a religious but as a political agent. After bringing forward some of the corrupt practices of the Church of Rome, he expressed his confident opinion th a t as Protest ants, they would not be led away by them. They relied upon common sense, and on those principles which were most dear to every Protestant heart, and to that which the Church of Rome had always been afraid to place in the hands of her adherents—the bible freely calculated amongst the people. (Hear, hear, and loud applause.) The speaker then referred to the manner in which Dr. Wiseman had recently attempted to dissemble with the Rev. Dr. Cumming in reference to the oath taken by Roman Catholic bishops ; and after exposing the un changeable spirit of persecution adopted by the Romish Church, concluded an eloquent address by calling upon the meeting to resist the insolent pretensions of the Papal See. The speaker, on resuming his seat, was loudly cheered. The resolution was passed amidst the most deafening beers. Mr. JOHN WALKER proposed the next resolution. He did think, after what had been conceded by this country to the Church of Rome, the recent step adopted by the Pope would not have been taken, but as he had adopted it, it now remained for this country to say what course was to be pursued. He trusted that the effect of the re sistance offered by the Government and the country would be to uproot Popery altogether out of the land. ( Tre mendous cheering.) He concluded by reading a memo rial, for which see advertisement. Alderman Dov Ea. seconded the resolution. He con gratulated the meeting on its proving that if there was a feeling of loyalty wanting in some parts of England. it did not exist in Kirkdale. (Loud cheers.) After alluding to the Puseyite and pseudo Romish practices adopted in some of the churches belonging to the Established Church, he Proceeded to observe that it was not the case in Kirkdale. Tt was clear to him that s ,und Protestantism, which em braced sound liberty, had formed a prominent point in the teaching of the incumbent of Kirkdale. (Cheers.) It was to him most extraordinary that any foreign poten tate should at this time of day attempt to dictate to the crown and to the people of England—(hear, hear;)—and still more extraordinary was it to him that the Pope of Rome should attempt to do it. (Hear, hear.) His sub jects did not number one-tenth—nay, if the colonies were included, not one-hundredth part—of the subjects of the Queen of this country; and therefore it did astonish him, that a power so defective, as compared with England, should attempt so to dictate to this nation. (Hear, hear.) With regard to this aggression, which he looked upon in a political more strongly than in a religious view, he con sidered it an attempt to interfere with the prerogative of the crown in this country to confer honours. (" Hear, hear," and cheers.) If we did not resist this attempt of the Pope, it would not be long before we found him attempting to force his bishops into the House of Lords. (Hear, hear.) After some general illustrations of the injurious influences of the Church of Rome, Mr. Dover said, that if we wished to purge this country of Romanism, we must be more united than we had been— (hear, hear)—as anxious to find out in what we agreed, as unhappily we had lately been to find out in what we differed. (Loud cheers.) Mr. D. then severely con demned the teaching of some of the tutors of rich stu dents at Oxford. He insisted that many of these tutors were actually Jesuits in the Church, whose business it was to instil their Romish principles into the minds of their pupils. In illustration of this statement, lie re ferred to a young student with whom he was acquainted, and whose course lie had closely watched, who was now a member of the Romish Church. Mr. Dover concluded, amidst enthusiastic cheering, by calling upon the meeting to vindicate the supremacy of the Queen, and deter minedly to resist the innovations of Rome. The resolution, on being put to the meeting, was car ried with acclamation. H. THEAKSTONE, Esq., the other churchwarden, next moved an address to Lord John Russell. After reading the address, he said he was of opinion that they were under a deep debt of gratitude to Lord Jain Russell. To his patrcnlge we owed some of the bt st of our bishops', including two archbishops ; and in his other appointments Lord John Russell had been influenced by the piety and fitness of those he had selected. (Cheers.) With Lord. J. Russell's general conduct, however, they could not agree. His proceedings, indeed, were singularly inconsistent. They could not understand why he had conceded so much o ropery, as it was really so inconsistent with what his lordship so boldly said now—(hear, hear)—but they were his views. It must be so. The people throughout the land had spoken out—they would not have Pop y either )„..—...,,, resounded throughout the country, shelving that no priest, whether Anglican or Romish, should bear rule. (Loud cheers.) _ The Rev. RD. PILKTNGTON, curate of Kirkdale, se conded the address. Ho observed that they owed a deep debt of gratitude to Lord John Russell for his letter, although it was a very different letter than he had ex pected from him, and a very different letter from any the people of this_ country expected from him. It proved that his lordship, like m a ny other Protes country, had been mistaken in his notions of the princi fples of Popery. The speaker condemned the government or encouraging Popery in Ireland, and at the conclu sion of a poxerful speech was most vehemently cheered. The Rev. D. JA➢iES, M.A., supported the resolution, observing that be did not wish to take part in the meet ing, thinking it better that it should be confined to lay men. The resolution was carried unanimously, and a vote of thanks passed to the Chairman. The meeting, which was throughout of the most enthusiastic character, ter minated about half-past nine o'clock. The Company of Merchants of Glasgow have passed trong resolutions against the continuance of the income A FREtifi FISH FACTORY.—" The Fisheries' are worth a little notice. A Scotch gentleman, I believe; the agent of the estate, has here established a sort of ' fresh fish factory ;' i. e., he prepares, after a fashion of his own, fresh fish for any of the most distant markets. A river runs hence into the sea, passing the fishery, on its way to the sea, a mile or two distant. (here are some buildings erected close to a bend in this river ; in one building there were all the various descriptions of inge- mous machinery necessary in the manufacture of tin cases ; one boy cuts out the body of the case, another, with another machine, punches out the top and bottom, another forms the rims, another solders the sides and the bottom together so as to form a case, only wanting the top. It was curious to see bow the Scotch foreman had got his staff of young tinkers busily employed, find how expeditiously they did their work. In another building are a certain number of boilers superintended by a woman. Presently a signal is given that there are fish ; a boat is manned, and a long net quickly run out, so as to sweep a pool made by a bend of the river ; we saw at one haul some twenty salmon of salmon trout brought in. They are at once washed, and with v er y littl e mut il at i on put • A• • into tin cases, in certain we 4 so quickly are they put out of t as it may be as a workman described it, ' you may see them a panting as we puts the tops on.' The top once on the case, it is instantly soldered on ; in short, portions of the fish, or a whole fish, as it may be, are hermetically sealed up in a tin shroud or shrouds before he can scarcely believe ho is out of the water, and now into the water he goes again, but this time he is in hot water.' He is tenderly boiled under the mild superintendence of the boiler woman. After having undergone this ordeal he is ready for expor tation ; he may be eaten at Liverpool or on board a trans atlantic steamer; he may be eaten off Cape Horn or at the London Tavern : he is simply for sale in a travelling costume, warranted to produce him fresh whenever and wherever he is undressed from his armour to be dressed for dinner. Lobsters, oysters, and milk are all here pre pared in the same way, and if one can ju 'ge fio n the mass of oyster-shells which are heaped upon the spot, the demand for stewed oysters must be very large. The pro- prietor of the factory assured us ti the demand was greater than he could supply, for the fishing was very un certain, some seasons being far more favourable than others. There are large salmon weirs in connection with this establishment. In one way or another a great num ber of hands are employed at these fisheries: it is a wild place, but worth a visit, especially I should suppose in the season to those fond of fishing, as there is exceller.t river-fishing for some miles.—Gleanings in the West of Ireland. —Morning Herald, AUSTRIA AND ADVANCE IN THE PRECIOUS —The Vienna correspondent of the London 's, under date Nov. 24th, that a panic has tricken the people on account of the rapid rise in the Irecious metals:— PANIC - IN ETALS.- "Thousands of individuals have sold stock in order by the purdiase of 100 or 200 ducats to be prepared for the worst.

TO CORAES PON DENTS We have received innumerable communications, both in prose and 'verse, on the Protestant movement, and !lave made room for as many as prase At the last moment nof,gibi( articles which we it tended to pa A Corre , pondent rlirectS Itrtentiun to the v - ant of church accon modation in the vicinity of Low-hill, more especially towards Hyzeia•street.

'We have no doubt that the magistrates will call another meet ing at Birkenhead. " I Constant Reader" suggests that two magistrates should attend at the Town-hall, two days before the meeting, to swear in special constables. We understand that an addrus,s to the Queen is now in prepa tion from Great Gt.orze IVard, and it i, considered by many influential parties that a similar step might be very properly taken in every ward in the town. "A Protestant'' witslies to huow what the authwitics at Wal lasey and Egremont are about that no meeting has yet been heb: to address the Queen. lie says that it is almost the only township that has Lot " pronounced." We have received a very long letter from "Ignatius of St. Paul, Passionist, formerly Hon. and Rev. George Spencer," which pro essea to be a reply to souse remarks made by the Rev. Dr. Al'Neile, at the meeting at the Collegiate Institu tion on Monday night. Had our eccentric correspondent confined himself to the subject of his complaint, we would have inserted the whole of his epistle; but vs be diverges to what " he has been saying and doing since he became a Catholic," we have only room for the following extract, and our readers will see how far it denies or explains the imputa tion conveyed. After alluding to " a Said'? of Syria who sold himself HE a slave to three families of Heathens, or Saracens, in succession, out of a design to save their souls," " Father Ignatius" says, "The Londonderry reporter heard me recom mend this example to the poor Irish. to show them how they might render the servitude to which many of them are driven by necessity in the houses of unfeeling persecu tors, not only secure from the danger to which both their faith and their a irtue are now exposed in them, but a state most holy, most happy, and most glorious to God and to themselves." elit Ltberpoot 'tanbarb, TUESDAY MORNING, DEC. 3, ISSO THE events which occurred at Birkenhead on Wednesday last, and of which a report appears in our columns this day, afford us a pretty fair speci men of the animus of that apostate church, to the spread of whose dominion over the human mind we have been for years pandering. A Protestant public, under the sanction of their magistracy, pro. posed to meet, in order to record their protest against what they believed to be an encroachment upon the prerogative of their Sovereign ; and they were obstructed in so doing by the bludgeons of a hireling mob of papist slaves of the lowest caste, instigated by parties who ought to have been dif ferently occupied. _ The place of meeting was of small dimensions. Birkenhead has unfortunately no larger public place than the Sessions' house, at its Town-hall— a place erected when it was a mere village. It was the intention, however, of those who called the meeting to adjourn it to some open space, or room —the market was mentioned—in which there would be area sufficient for free discussion. The Town ball, long before the commencement of the pro ceedings, was surrounded by a mob of Roman Catholic " navvies," casually engaged upon the dock works, and brought thither by means which we shall shortly advert to ; and the result was one of the most disgraceful riots ever witnessed in a Christian country. Was this premeditated ? Is the result—the breaking up of the meeting—a feat which the emis saries of Rome intended to achieve ? In reply to this question, we shall state a few facts. In the first place, the locality in which the meeting was held was in a perfected street; yet stones, half bricks, and other missiles in abundance, were to be found ready to the hands of the rioters. Again, donkeys, with panniers, were in the locality, with their panniers filled with stones. Donkeys, kept in marine villages, don't usually travel with such en cumbrances. In the next place, we have to state a fact, which is scarcely credible, as attributed to so marvellously innocent a people as our Roman Ca tholic population are described to be in a recent pastoral of Dr. Ullathorne. It is confidently affirmed that a priest actually visited the quarry men engaged in the Birkenhead Dock Works, and made arrangements for their attendance at the meeting. A previous appeal in their chapels was not thought sufficient. Such ruffians as are re quired by Popery in its moments of emergency, are not frequent attenders upon Divine worship. We shall give the description of the meeting itself, as condensed in a leading ar.icle of the London Times of Friday last:— "An hour before the meeting was to take place an h of Irish labourers, armed with bludgeons mhled, and before a enormous and other a moved, or anything done Thick tended in they then), they commence aorest degree to irritate or ex :ed a furious stones am'. here the meetinz ndful of police who defended i w the tu malt, but in If immediately to that object, ly with some discus ng.

On one occasion the steamer Atlantic or Pacific, we forget which at the moment—was detained for the mail bags until !almost too late for her to have water to cross the bar; and on many occasions the ships of the Cunard line have been submitted to if our similar deter tion.

Thz.. Manchester Guardian also admits the fact; and that it has taken place "concurrent with shipments from California on a much larger scale than heretofore, and more in accordance with the expectations which the public were led to entertain from the highly coloured accounts which have from time to time appeared in the Californian newspapers, and in letters from that country which have been !Jib lished in the journals of the United States." True to his character, however, our contemporary tries to weaken the force of biz admission by suggesting special reasons why silver may have appreciated, and the recent rise be only temporary. Amongst these are the substitution of a silver for a gold cur- rency in Holland, and the large demand for silver caused by the warlike movements in Germany. We may remind him, however, of the extensive substitution of gold for silver in the United States, where thirty millions dollars worth of Californian gold have already passed through the Mint, and now form the chief metallic circulation of the country. A greater authority than the Guardian, however, —the editor of the London Times,—in a leading article on Wednesday last, has treated the depreci ation of the pound not only as a proved fact, but as an operation likely to progress until it seriously changes the monetary obligations of individuals towards each other. Earl Fitzwilliam, it appears, following the example of the Duke of Portland, to which we referred in our last, has announced to his tenantry that. conceiving that the price of wheat will for the future "rule low—lower proba bly than the present price," he is prepared to enter into fresh arrangements with them and to accept reduced rents. The admission of his Lordship is rather damaging to the free trade party. It con cedes the fact that their great experiment is oper ating as an act of confiscation of property invested in the soil of the country; and the Times accord ingly strives hard to spew that his Lordship has determined upon the step announced by him with out properly weighing facts, or taking sufficient time to test the permanent effect of free trade upon agricultural prices. Amongst the grounds which he urges for delay in reducing rents is the follow ing striking one : " The effect of Californian gold on the value of our metallic currency is no longer purely conjectural, when, within a single twelyemon:h, the value of gold, as com pared with silver, has declined as much as 3 per cent. In the face of arrivals of gold across the Isthmus. as reported by every American mail, it is impossible but that the inte , changeable value of the pound should suffer a considerable ,fall before the expiration of a 14 years' or a 7 years' lease. There are other important considerations bearing on this question, but the above are sufficient, in our humble opinion, to prove that Earl FITZWILLIAM ought to have very strong, clear, and satisfactory reasons for surrender ing his hold of his land at a greatly reduced rent for a long term of years." This is plain speaking enough at all events. The Times would have the landowners of this country not to submit to " surrender their hold of their land at a greatly reduced rent for a long term of years." because the pound is likely to decrease in its purchasing power; and what he recommends, as " the only alternative," to save the landowner from making an improvident bargain, by giving leases with a stipulated money rent, is " an arrangement from year to year, reducing the tenant farmer to the pay and condition of a common farm bail !" We suspect that, in his anxiety to whitewash in the eyes of the landowners of England his pet sys tem of Free Trade, the Times has struck a most damaging blow against the bullionist system. The permanent fixity of value claimed for the commo dity, gold, is admitted to exist no longer. A pound is to be worth nineteen shillings, eighteen shillings, and to decrease year by year, whilst the farmers of Great Britain are to remain as " common farm bailiffs," because no contract for rent can he made with safety. But did it never occur to our con temporary, whilst penning this unhappy production, that all monetary contracts between man and man must be similarly affected by the progressive depre ciation of the standard of value ? That the creditor, both national and private, is about to he robbed by our persisting in recognising as money a commodity which may shortly become as little worth as iron and gold ? That we are about, with the sanction of the bullionists themselves, to pay our debts in " little shillings ?" If these considerations did not strike him, we suspect they will lead to an impor tant movement some of these days on the part of the public. THE regularity with which the mail packet ser vice between this country and the United States is performed by the two splendid lines of steamers, sailing from this port, is acknowledged. In all weathers the Cunard and Collins steamships have been ready to proceed to sea at the hour appointed; and the punctuality of their arrival at the termina tion of their voyages can he depended on with almost positive certainty.
