OftigA.7 ritTfftiff.kFvfBl, l l% Prepariiiiiiirdwa most extensive and magnificent scale are , kactive progress, for the grand meeting of the Royal Agri cultural Society on the 21st, 22d, and the 23d of next month. The assemblage of noblemen, gentlemen, and others con nected with, or interested in, agricultural pursuits, will as- show of deed, 'in any other country in tlic world ; and the horses, cattle, and other live stock, and of roots, seeds, instruments of husbandry, will doubtless be of comuaEnst petition bein _ hill and valley in the United brought iuto requisition to send their kingdom will be choicest and their We heartily congratulate the members and friends of the society on the success which has hitherto marked their exer tions to promote the useful and most indispensible science of agriculture, and on the still brightening prospects that open to their view. The first great meeting was held in Oxford, in 1837 ; the second at Cambridge, in 1840; the third is ap pointed for this Bristol. ( fourth will, we learn, ,pProaching exhibition, it is fully an- the first two, the _ ticipated will leave them far behind in the concentra tion and magnitude of the agricultural talent which it will elicit. Liverpool, our western commercial metro polis, was on this occasion chosen as the site of the grand gathering, from its central position, amidst a dense population, and its proximate and consequently convenient position as regards Ireland, Scotland, and Wales, as well as the north, and great part of the south and west of England. The modern facilities for conveyance by railways and steam vessels, render too the selection the more judicious; and the vast number of strangers which the show and its attendant festivities will draw together, will, in the present pressure of the times, prove of no inconsiderable benefit to " the good old town," not only in a pecuniary point of view, but in, we trust, bringing about a better understanding between the agricultural and commercial portions of the community, whose interests, notwithstanding the opinions that are un happily abroad, are inseparably bound up together. Not a few strangers are also expected from the continent of Europe and from America. The show of Stock, &c. is advertised for three successive days, but will probably be continued for a week. There will be two grand festive entertainments on the occasion, if not, indeed, three, should the accommodations prepared, great as they are, be found inadequate for tne gratification of so large a body of guests. The first is fixed for Wednesday, the 21st of July, for 462 members of the society, at Mr. Lu cas's Repository, Great Charlotte-street. The company on this occasion will, we presume, comprise only the presidents, the principal officers, the committees, and more active friends. A hot dinner with dessert of fruits, confectionary, &c., and a bottle of wine to each person, will be provided. The grand dinner will take place on the 22d, in the new and spacious pavilion now in course of erection in the vacant ground in Lime-street, on which stood the Old Infirmary. This will accommodate 2800 guests. A great interest is already excited towards the coming meeting. We have vi siled the pavilion and the ground now being laid out for the show of cattle, &c. THE SHOW GROUND The ground selected is in Windsor, in the immediate out skirts of the town. It is nearly square, being 550 feet in length from north to south, and 494 in breadth from east to west. Its boundaries are Upper l'arliament-street on the south ; Sandon-street, (and Falkner-square) on the east ; Canning -street on the north; and Bedford-street on the west. It is nearly on a dead level, is of a light sandy soil, for the most part covered with grass. A better site could not have been chosen, and the approaches to it are wide and numerous, so that all confusion will be avoided. This large space, comprising, (if we rightly compute it), upwards of six statute acres, is substantially enclosed with boards. The interior accommodations (already in a state of forwardness) will be all that can be desired—far more commodious, in deed, and more carefully constructed than we should have expected for a temporary purpose. The area will comprise no fewer than thirteen very long sheds or tents, of woodwork covered with canvas, prepared on purpose, with wide avenues between them, and so arranged that each department will be separate and distinct. The portion appropriated to the exhibition of implements of husbandry, &c., is on the side next to Canning-street, and eontains four shads; running parallel east and west, the whole width of the ground is 494 feet. These are each 16 feet wide, and the pillars that support them, hack and front, are 12 feet asunder. The avenues between are 20 feet wide. The remainner of the ground is occupied by nine sheds, running parallel from north to south, between Sandon-street and Bedford-street. These are each about 500 feet in length. Five of them on the west side will be fitted for the reception of cattle and horses and four of them on the east side f or sheep and pigs. The avenues between these will be 39 feet wide. Accommodations will also be made for the exhibition of roots, vegetables, grain, seeds, &c. &c. The carpentry in these extensive erections is good and uniform, and when the sheds are filled with cattle, &c. and the avenues crowded with spectators, the whole will present a scene of great indi vidual as well as national interest. The quantity of timber required is necessarily immense, and considerable waste is unavoidable. THE. PAVILION This building is by far the largest, and the most unique in design that has ever been constructed in this town. Though having exteriorly 24 sides, it appears from the ob tuseness of the angles, and the great area which it covers to be round. Its form is described within a circle of oue hun dred and seventy feet in diameter! The ventral part, sup ported by a double circle of strong pillars, rises considerably above the sides, or outward circle, and the whole when com pleted will present as handsome an appearance as a pavilion. The interior circle will be appropriated solely to the dining tables, which, judging from a small model of the building, by the architect, T. Wild, Esq., of London, will run parallel, the guests all facing the chairman and his immediate friends, who will occupy a platform or eminence at a table on the west side of the building. The seats will gradually rise from the cen tre or dinner ring to the sides, and will be supported on nine inch brick . walls, already reared, radiating f rom th e middle circle, and forming sliihtly rising steps or platforms all round, so that the spectators may all have la good view of . the proceedings. The carpentary throughout is superior for atemporary building, the square pillars being strong, and much of the roofing timber being strengthened by iron truss roads. The height of the outer wall appears to be about 14 feet ; the next circle of pillars about 35 feet ; and the inner pillars about 42 feet. The roof will rise above the latter in a conical form 12 or 13 feet to its apex ; so that the central elevation will be little, if at all, s h or t o f GO feet. This building, as well as the erections on the show ground, was undertaken by our respected townmen, Messrs. Samue, andlames Holme, of Seel-street, the only parties indeedf in this locality, who could have undertaken a contract of such magnitude. When the works are in a state of com pletion, we shall again notice them ; meantime, it is but justice to say, before the public can judge for themselves, that the contractors appear to be doing, in a most faithful manner, the work which is ass i gne d t o th em . It wou ld , indeed, a matter of regret, that such a building as the pavilion (in particular), should be pulled down after the agricultural banquet. It would form an admirable substitute for the intended St. George's Hall, for the bolding of public meetings, until the erection of that building, which is about to be commenced; and as such a place is much wanted in this populous town, we would suggest that it should not be prematurely removed. finpatal Varltainrnt. HOUSE OF LORDS.—TaunsDAy The Earl of MINTO, in answer to a question addressed to him by Viscount Strangford, said that he was sorry to state that the Lords of the Admiralty were obliged to come to the conclusion that it was not in their power to hold out the slightest hope of the safety of the " President," steam-ship. He had made inquiries this morning on the subject, and had found out that some information had been received in town that a large steamer was seen in the St. George's Channel in a disabled state ; in consequence of which instructions bad been sent to Plymouth to despatch a steamer for its relief ; but, at the same time, he could not help observing that it would be cruel to hold out any expectation of the safety of the President. The Marquis of LANSDOWNE gave notice that to-morrow he should lay a bill on the table for the relaxation of the usury laws for one year. Lord Asti ntirtro;.l presented a petition from South Shields, against any alteration in the timber duties. The noble lord in an elaborate speech declared that he was opposed to the opening of the market to all countries, and refuted the charge which Lord Brougham had made a few evenings since, rela tive to his change of opinion on this subject. He also called the attention of their lordships to the opinions expressed by Lord Brougham on the subject of the corn laws, in 1817, and the subsequent change in those opinions within the last few years. He, therefore, thought the noble lord ought not to make assertions which were as applicable to his own as to his (Lord Ashburton's.) Lord BROUGHAH said, that when the first corn law bill was passed he had not a scat in the house, and in 1817 be concurred in the objects for which it was passed; but after 24 years' experience and consideration, he was now of opi nion that the measure had turned out to be a complete failure. His opinion, formerly, was that it was grounded on the pe culiar burdens under which the landed interest lay at that time, but since which great changes had taken place. The noble lord, in continuation, contended that it would be bet ter to have a graduated reduction in the corn laws than a total repeal, whereas Lord Ashburton and the Earl of Stan hope said that of the two they would rather have a total re peal. The noble lord said that he also differed from those with whom he bad often acted in concert, telative to the sub ject of slavery, and he should take this opportunity of stating the points on which he differed from them. He, in the first place, did not go the length with them that the negroes in the West Indies should be treated in a better manner than the rest of the free population of the colonies ; and, secondly, he could not see any ground why they should exclude the produce grown where slavery existed ; but it was his deter mination never to consent to the introduction of produce from the Brazils and Cuba, where that abominable traffic, the slave trade, was carried on to such an enormous extent. Some further discussion then arose on the subjects of the corn and poor laws, during which the Earl of STANHOPE declared that he would rather see the country governed by the chartists. who were • consistent to themselves, but in whose opinions he (Earl Stanhope) did not coincide, than by the present government ; but, however, he was of opinion that under their government the labourers would regain their liberty.—Adjourned. HOUSE OF COMMONS.—THURSDAY. On the order of the day being read for receiving the report on the Danish claims, The CHANCELLOR of the EXCHEQUER said, that, if the address were agreed to, they would be asking that which it was not in the power of the crown to grant, and which it would be contrary to law to give. The crown could not pay a quarter of a million out of the civil list; and the only fund left was the civil contingencies, which would be altogether too small for such a purpose. After some discussion, in which Mr. Hume, Mr. Warbur ton, Mr. Cresswell, and the Solicitor-General took part, the house divided, and the motion was carried. Ayes, 75 ; Noes, 64. Lord J. RUSSELL thought it would not be expedient to proceed with the bribery bill this session, as he feared that at a time like this, when a general election was coming on, it would not receive a sufficient degree of attention under existing circumstances. Several members having expressed a wish that a portion of the bill should be persevered with, the bill went through committee, those clauses being abandoned which were ob. jetted Mr. S. O'Bn!EN wished to add a clause to the effect that • member on entering the house, should make a declara at neither he nor his agents had been guilty of bribery. ` 7 ARBURTON opposed the clause, as not likely to object the hon. gentleman had in view. It was tnmary for officers buying and selling commis. to declare that no more than the regulation 'yen or received. ant yet it was well lcnown many had been found by them to every memn Lion that Wr. W A effect the ( formerly custorr ons FOlemnly to declare that in most evade the terms of such declarations. Mr. WAKLEY contended that the only means to do away with bribery would be to enlarge the constituency of the country ; and, therefore, be hoped the hon. member for Li merick would postpone his clause, as it ought to receive more consideration than could be given to it at present. Lord J. Ri/SSELL thought the clause would not be at teuded with that success which was expected, and, therefore, hoped the house would not adopt it. After some further observations the house divided, and the_ clause was rejected by a majority of 29, the numbers being 51 to 22. rigeh. that every two tO e - xamtub w tin Prnbiniarw Blackfriars-hridge to 'Hungerford:market, the expppse of which might be prOided for by a railroad between'the same points as its terminus, but this ended in the motion being *•`- ' r orders of the day were then disposed of, and the house adjourned lIOUSF OF LORDS.- Lord MELBOURNE, in answer to a question from the Mar is of Londonderry, said, that measures had been taken to -FRIDAY enforce the claims of the British auxiliary legion, and that he had no doubt they would eventually be satisfactorily settled. The Earl of WILTON wished to ask the noble lord oppo site (Normanby) if it was true that, at a late meeting in Manchester, three magistrates had attended on the hustings, during which time a riot occurred, and there were eleven persons now in the hospital, and that the police, who were by at the time, did not attempt to interfere. The Marquis of NORMANBY said, that he had received comunicatio that, as far as regarded the police, they had acted very pro perly. But with respect to there being three magistrates on the hustings, he had not the slightest information, but would take the earliest opportunity of obtaining it. On the motion for the third reading of the Jews Bill, • The Bishop of LLANDAYF opposed the bill, and moved that it be read a third time that day three months. Lord LyrrLEToN opposed the measure, as he was of opinion that the Jews merely desired the passing of this measure as a stepping-stone to their own future purposes. The Earl of WINCIIELSEA said, that if this measure was conceded, they would be giving away the brightest gem which this Christian country possessed, and they would, at the same time, be destroying the Christian character of the legislature. He should therefore support the motion of the right reverend prelate opposite. The Earl of WICKLOW said, that, if the measure before the house was well considered, they would find that the Jews would not receive any greater benefit by admission into par liament than they at present enjoyed. He should therefore vote for the third reading. The Bishop of ST. DAVID'S advocated the adoption of the bill. not distinguish any analogy between Jews and Christians. After some further conversation, the gallery was cleared for a division, when the Bishop of Llandaff's motion was car ried by a majority of 34. Ayes 98 ; noes, 64. Loy d BEOUGHAM moved the second reading of the punish ment of death bill, and entered into a statistical detail of the decrease of crime in those cases where the punishment of death had been abandoned. The bill was then read a second time, and ordered to be committed on Monday. The honee then adjourned. HOUSE OF COMMONS.-FRIDAT Sir R. PEEL obtained leave to bring in a bill to embody an enactment adopting the amendment of the chairman of the contested elections bill. The right hon. hart. stated the rea son he brought forward this motion was merely to get the bill printed, in order to give an opportunity to hon. members to consider the subject before the next session. Mr. WARD moved that instructions be given to the Attor ney-General to prosecute the Hon. Mr. Manners Sutton, and his agents Long and Swan, for bribery, alleged to have been committed at the last Cambridge election. Sir CHARLES LEMON, as chairman of the Cambridge com mittee, said, that although be felt convinced that bribery had taken place, yet from the evidence it could not be brought home to Mr. Sutton. As to Mr. Long, one of the agents, he had no doubt that if a prosecution had been instituted he would have been convicted. The Earl of DARLINGTON also defended Mr. Manners Sutton from the charge of bribery, aud, therefore, should vote against the motion as far as regarded that gentleman, but would vote for prosecuting the agents. Mr. WARD then withdrew that part of his motion regarding Mr. Manners Sutton, and, after considerable discussion, it was decided, by a'majority of 78 against 46, that proceedings should be instituted against one of the agents. Mr. HUME, in the absence of Mr. Easthope, withdrew the bill for the abolition of church-rates. The other orders of the day were then disposed of, and the house adjourned. HOUSE OF COMMONS.-SATURDAY The house sat fora short time. On the motion of Lord Jour/ RUSSELL, the Bribery at Elections Bill was read a third time and passed, with a clause added by way of rider, to the effect that candidates as well as other persons taking part in an election, should be liable to give evidence before committees, and account for their con duct. The Appropriation Bill went through committee, and was ordered to be reported on Monday. The Metropolis Improvement Bill was read a third time and passed. Several other bills were forwarded a stage, after which the house adjourned. FOREIGN INTELLIGENCE UNITED STATES By the Caledonia froin Halifax and Boston, we are in pos session of New York papers to the 31st ult. inclusive, Hali fax to the 3d inst., and Boston to the Ist. The Caledonia was off Holyhead yesterday morning at six, and came up the river at two, after a splendid run of 12 days and 14 hours from Boston, including a stoppage of ten hours at Halifax—the shortest passage on record with the exception of one. She brings 104 passengers—the names of whom, together with the log, we shall publish on Friday, as we find it impossible to make room for them to-day ; for the same reason we are unable to give the intelligence brought by the Caledonia at our usual length. AV Leod still remained in prison awaiting the decision of the supreme court, which was expected to be given next term. The arguments and evidence in the case had closed, and the judges took time to consider the judg ment. The prisoner has published a letter denying all par ticipation in the Caroline affair. On the 29th ult. the National Theatre, in Church-stre e t, was destroyed by fire, which was supposed to be the work of an incendiary. One female lost her life, and property to a great extent was destroyed. The Protestant Episcopal Church adjoining also received some slight damage. The news from Canada is not very important, Lord Syden ham took his departure from Montreal on the 26th ult. The 34th regiment left Toronto for Montreal and Quebec on the 28th ult., en route for England. From Mexico the intelli gence amounts to but little. The Herald states " there is now a prospect of a period of comparative peace for this dis tracted country. Some permanent steps have been taken toward an amicable adjustment of the difficulties between it and Texas." On exchange, for the packet, a good business was done, and holders were firm, buyers seemed to fear a falling off as the season advanced. On the 31st, the going rates were as fol lows :—Sterling bills Bto 81, or 482 the £. France f 5 to 525 ; Amsterdam 39i to 40 ; Hamburg 351 to 36 ; Bre men 77 to 77i. NEW YORK COTTON TRADE. _ _ On the receipt of the late news from England, the cotton market in this city became quiet, and sales could not be effected unless at a decline of I a lc. per lb. from the rates previously current, although bad news, in some measure was anticipated. The market remained quiescent for a few days, and resumed its activity at the decline of ic., at which the prices have since been steady, and sales to a fair extent, mostly for export. In the extreme southern ports the mar kets have been more active, and a small advance has gene rally been obtained. At Charleston and Savannah there was less doing, and holders evinced some disposition to give way, but no positive decline had taken place. Nzw ORLEANS, May 21.—Business is beginning to be extremely dull, and our population is rapidly thinning off by numerous departures to the north. Yesterday 2,000 bales cotton changed hands at very full prices. The princiral portion of the stock consists at present of North Alabamas and Tennesses, and fine cottons are very scarce, and com mand high prices. The extremes of the market are 9+ to The tobacco market remains in statu quo, and it is my opinion that prices will have to come down 1 to 2c. before buyers will be tempted to operate. The receipts are very heavy, and the stock now on sale amounts to about 11,000 hhds. Notwithstanding these adverse circumstances, hold ers as yet manifest no disposition to make concessions. MELANCHOLY SHIPWRECK—ONE HUNDRED AND FORTY-EIGHT LIVES LOST.-It again becomes our duty to record a calamity involving destruction of human life to an awful extent. Four of the crew and four of the passengers of the brig Minstrel, Captain Outerbidge, arrived here yes terday, bringing the disastrous intelligence of which the fol lowing is an accurate summary :—The Minstrel left Lime rick, Ireland, on the 21st April last, for Quebec, with 141 passengers, emigrants, intending to settle in Canada.. The vessel had a tolerable passage up to Tuesday last, at 4 o'clock in the morning, when she struck on Red Island Reef. There was a heavy sea running at the time, but the boats were launched and made fast to the fore-chains. Upwards of 100 passengers embarked in the boats, but their doom was very quickly sealed ; the vessel " heeled' off " into deep water, and went down stern foremost, so suddenly that th e " paint ers" of the boats could not be cast off, and the people who had embarked in the boats perished, with their equally un fortunate companions on board the ship, except four of the crew and four passengers, who alone of upwards of 150 souls, remained to tell the sad tale. These eight persons had em barked in the gig, which was towing astern, and fortunately for them the rope which attached it to the vessel broke when she went down. They succeeded in pulling to White Is land, where they remained until the following day, when they were taken off by the ship Wellington, Macintyre, and brought to Grose Isle.—Quebec Mercury, May 22. We give the following extract of a letter to a gentleman of this town, dated Quebec:—" A melancholy accident has happened here this summer," (on the 17th May) " by the dislodgement of a portion of Cape Diamond Rock, which buried nine houses, with the inmates, forty or fifty in num ber. All, with the exception of eight or ten, were killed. The living were taben out in a most dreadful state. Fortu nately there were houses only on one side of the street, or the loss of life would have been greater. What could with stand the whole face of a rock twice as high as the houses, and about 12 feet deep. some of the stones that came down were more than 20 tons weight. All was done so suddenly, that several persons passing by were unable to escape."— The letter then goes on to give the particulars of the ship wreck, as stated above. THE PRESIDENT The following is an extract from a letter received by Mr. Buchanan, of this town, from his brother, at St. John's, dat ed St. John's, New Brunswick, 20th May : " I have just learned that a French vessel picked up 16 of the survivors of the President, in a boat, off the Banks of Newfoundland, and carried them into St. Peter's. The Pre sident struck an iceberg, and went down, carrying the rest with her." We refrain from any comment on the preceding, but feel bound to publish it. Our attention is attracted by the announcement, that the anniversary sermon of the schools will be preached this year by Mr. Girdlestone, the rector of Alderley, Cheshire. This is the gentleman who succeeded to the living of the present Bishop of Norwich on his promotion to that see. Ever since his induction to Alderley, he has been involved in litigation with the patron of the living, Lord Stanley, brother of the bishop, in defence of the rights and property of the church, whieh he conceives he has an equal claim to, whilst he per forms the duties of his sacred functions, as his predecessor the present bishop, Mr. Girdlestone has become very ge nerally known by the mild but uncompromising manner in which he has borne in his own person this attack upon the rightful property of the church. He is also very extensively known by the admirable commentary on the scriptures, upon which he has been engaged many years, each series of which, as it makes its appearance, answers the high expectations raised by the author's well-known learning and piety. Mr. Girdlestone is also perhaps still more favourably known by the attention and success with which he discharged his mi nisterial duties when the cholera raged so fearfully in that part of Staffordshire where his cure was then situated. Some of his earnest and affectionate addresses delivered at that tim e to his parishioners were published, and are familiar no doubt to many of our readers. It appears to us that no hap pnradr se lection of a p reac h er f or t h e occas i on could have been e, as his t ru l y catholic and evangelical character must re commend a to him alike to every pious Christian hearer. We h nt i go c h education,the pt oino that c t ht t e g aa rhssessrogcerpelitelentleeolihefvwadit the weather will prove propitious . . for this anniversary always exhibits, many thousands of the children of the t r h e e t renn thanks for s all the n merciesi uosf divine providence and grace. the meeting nearly -My fellow-Christians and fellow -townsmen, members and friends of the Liverpool Protestant Operative Association,—As president of your society, I might, under ordinary circumstances, content myself with briefly re minding you of the general objects for which we arc asso ciated, and then proceeds to call upon those friends who have kindly undertaken .to address this great.meeting ; but we are now assembled under very extraordinary circum stances, which I hope will plead my apology if I proceed to occupy some considerable portion of your time this evening. (Hear, hear.) We are associated in defence of our Protes tant institutions—(cries of " Bear, hear ")—in church and state. (Cheers.) We are convinced that the integrity of those institutions is indispensable, under God, in the way of means, for the preservation of civil and religious liberty in this world, and for the enjoyment in ourselves, and the effec tive propagation among others, of well-grounded, because Scriptural, hopes of salvation in the world to come. (Hear. It is a noble enterprise, and calls, in these our days, for the strenuous co-operation of every faithful son of the Protestant reformation. (Cheers.) Those institutions have been assailed and endangered, first by a spurious liberalism, which appear ed for a season to pervade and paralize all members and all parties in the state, and latterly they have been assailed and endangered especially by the executive government, whose sworn duty it was to d e f en d th ose i ns ti tut i ons, b ut w h o h ave 1 b- Jeen so situated, that whatever measure of good will may have remained among them, they have not been in a condi tion to have the power to persevere in the performance of that duty. (Hear, hear.) They have been preserved in place by popish influence, and they have been exercising their power under popish dictation. (Tremendous cheers.) I mean their executive power and patronage ; for, thanks to a large, watchful, and well-ordered opposition, they have latterly had little or no legislative power. (Hear, hear.) Upon these topics you have been receiving information from time to time, and you have been lending yonr aid to swell that cry of England, that old Protestant voice, which for a time has been only whispering through the community, but which rejoices now to give out a triumphant sound, prclaim ing in the city and in the country, in the borough and in the county, that such anti-English and pro-popish proceedings are no longer to be endured. (Enthusiastic cheers.) Much forbearance has been exercised. (Hear, hear.) The con. servative leaders of England have wished to carry on every practical improvement in the institutions of their country ; they have desired to make those institutions suit the temper of the times we live in, and effective for the permanent pros perity of England ; they have honestly desired to see a true practical carrying out of the great measure of parliamentary reform—(cheers)—therefore they have refrained from all factious interference with the proceedings of her majesty's ministers—nay, not only so, but they have lent them a help ing, and in tinny instances a saving hand. (Loud applause.) They have carried this constitutional feeling so far, that many of their own party had become dissatisfied, and began to whisper that this Fabian policy was persevered in too long ; some went, indeed, so far as to call the forbearance of our conservative leaders by the name of " compromise," (Hear, hear.) Enduring still in the exercise of patience under such imputations these men were not only sheaving magnanimity as men, and impartiality as Englishmen, but also they were gathering and condensing strength for the day of action. (Immense cheering.) The day of action is come. (Mach applause.) Strong in the consciousness of enduring patriotism, the right honour able baronet, our paliamentary Fabius Maximus, is roused to retributive operations ; and while he is taking care by well organized arrangements to dislodge the sworn Hannibals, the enemies of his country, from the strong entrenchments in which they have fortified themselves around the British ca pital ; we are supplied with a Scipio also ; eager, earnest, ve hement, generous, noble, to carry the warfare into the heart of the enemy's camp—(tremendous cheering) ; and there with the polished sword of insulted liberty, with the Ithuriel spear of detecting truth, and, for those whose heads and bides are too hard to be touched by such weapons, there, with the scalping knife of indignant sarcasm, to win and to inscribe a name as enduring as Africanus ou the scroll of the annals of his country. Need 1 give utterance to the name of Stan le3 ? (Tremendous and long continued cheering.) Yes, the day of action is come. The enemies of England's constitution are endeavouring to divide, in order that they may enslave their fellow-countrymen. (Hear, hear.) What means, I ask, their attempting one measure after another, day after day, in the face of the division last Monday even ing? (Hear, hear.) What means their presuming to go on with parliamentary business, after the pledge given by her Majesty's secretary for the colonies that they would lose no time in dissolving parliament, and calling into being a new House of Commons? (Hear, hear.) Connected with their proceedings, I wish to make allusion to a matter of local occurrence, and of somewhat person a l interest. Many of y ou k now ie position which it was my privilege to occupy-in the great anti-slavery movement which took place in this country, and which found a noble expres. sion in the meetings of this town. I joined cordially against that detestable traffic the slave trade, and the equally de testable practice of colonial slavery. Hear, hear.) I formed one of what was called " The Anti-Slavery Committee" of this town ; I received notices of the meetings of that commit tee and invitations to attend them. True it is, I did not at tend often because the hour for meeting was so early in the morning as rendered it exceedingly inconvenient to attend those committees. Still I did not withdraw, circulars invi ting me to the committee continued to be sent; and still I imagined there was an " Anti-Slavery Committee" in this town. Well, the humanity of some people is kindled and extinguished by party interest. I do not love such hu manity. (Hear, hear.) Upon a late occasion when party interests threatened a measure that would have immeasura bly increased slavery, that would have checked the glorious experiment England is making in her West Indian colonies —when this measure came out what did our Anti-Slavery Committee do ? (Hear, hear.) Ido not know ; I could not enumerate the gentlemen who belong to that committee; I do not mean to fasten any personal accusation upon any of them ; but this Ido know, that a meeting of a part of that committee was held, and resolutions passed, which I scruple not to call a disgrace to men professing to be an Anti-Sla very Committee. Those resolutions, with but a verbal pro test against slavery, are partisan resolutions to strengthen the hands of- her Majesty ministers. (Hear, and applause.) I got no invitation to attend that committee; no circular was left at my house to tell me that the committee was called to gether, and the first I knew of it was by a printed paper of the resolutions alleged to have been passed unanimously " at a meeting of the committee of the Liverpool Anti-Slavery Society." This is the first opnortunity I have bad since the occurrence to bear my indignant testimony against such disgraceful proceedings. (Cheers.) You will excuse me, I hope, if I proceed to make a few observations upon the grand apple of discord which has been thrown into the country, and upon the confusion arising from the official production of which her Majesty's ministers seem to be reposing their forlorn hopes—(hear, hear)—l mean the proposed repeal of the core laws. (Hear, hear, and cries of " Go on.") It is very easy to cry " cheap bread !" It is very easy to raise a clamour for a change in the present state of things, and to excite the longing desires of the poor man for a cheap loaf. (Hear, hear.) That is very easy, I say ;it wants no argument : there you are, and a cheap loaf is a treasure to you. (Hear, hear, and laughter.) They who raise this cry suppose you are such fools as to imagine that in that change which is so proposed, nothing else would be changed except the price of bread. (Hear.) Now the people of England are not so ignorant as some experimental philosophers seem to imagine; they now know that if the price of bread be greatly changed, then, that by and bye, not perhaps immedi ately, and not equally in every place—for there are different circumstances in different places, which in a country like this must be taken into the calculation—circumstances which interfere with the direct, immediate, and palpable sequence of effects from their producing causes, and which baffle the observations of inexperienced observers—l say the people now know, that by and bye, most assuredly if the price of bread goes down, the price of labour will go down too. (Hear, hear, and much cheering.) Upon this subject, as it refers to the intelligent workmen in our factories, I want to take the liberty of reading to you a dialogue between a mas ter manufacturer and two of his workmen, John Guest and Benjamin Powell. The scene was a little court-yard in front of a large mill, and the time about ten days ago. (Hear, hear.) Enter a master manufacturer wills two of his workmen, John Guest and Benjamin Powell. Master.—Now, my lads, I wish you joy. We shall be able at last to compete with the continental manufacturer. Our patriotic government have announced their intention to do away with the odious bread tax, and allow us to have a cheaper loaf. But we must agitate for it, or they will not be able to carry it, they are opposed by such a powerful body of tory monopolists, headed all through the country by those hypocritical parsons. Come therefore, my lads, let us all attend the great demonstration, and show the government that the country is up, and that they may calculate upon efficient support in this struggle for cheap bread. John Guest.—Please let us have a word with you, master. We want a little more enlightening upon this subject. You say you will be able at last to hold your own with the conti nental manufacturers. Pray what is the reason you have not been able to do so all along? And why cant you do so now ? Master.—Why, John, for the simplest reason in the world. They have untaxed corn and cheap bread, and we have this confounded bread tax, and dear bread. John Guest.—Well, sir, that may be a very simple sober reason to your better understanding, but that is precisely the point on which we wish to have further instruction. I have been talking to Benjamin Powel here about it, and he is a tolerable scholar in a small way, but we cannot make out how it is that this question bears upon us. Will you tell us, master, how is it that the cheap bread on the continent, and the dear bread here in England affects your powers of com petition with the foreign manufacturer ? Master.—lt works in this way, John. The continental manufacturer can undersell us in all the markets of the world, because he gets his work done so much cheaper than we can get our's. i the ya m , dd a o c nt h z i an givete s lay te t e ea i T ur shee workmen their get w t h o e rh i k r amlfe work na s don't r done no o much wages a h wy e a ah p gae e l s r f Benjamin Powell. --H a ! John, did I not tell you where the a b se pivot c iv a e u s o g e f e t t l , from and the s obe shop, able in to order ao pethatte withhe may tn those as much for bread as we d o . D on ' t you see that master wants from bre aus,bread a u n s e t a o p g l e a t cheap boor who get cheap labour on the continent? and don't you see, therefore, that in order to accomplish master's grand object of competition, if we could buy to-morrow as much bread for sixpence as we can now buy for a shilling, we would have to do as much work for sixpence as we now do for a shilling? John Guest.—l do see it, and I see now that whatever ad vantage such a change might bring to our master, it would do us no good; it would leave us just where it found us— buying bread for half price, and working all day for half price! As Tim MiNamara says, " it would be as broad as it is nar row," or rather, it would be as narrow as it is broad. Benjamin Powell.—No, John, you are wrong there. It would be narrower. It would not leave us where it found us. It would put us back ; for, look ye, only about halt our wages goes in bread. We have a many other things to buy for the family, as clothes and soap, some butter, and a piece of ba con. Now, John, you consider this, and let master tell us what he thinks of it. We are getting now 18s. a week. About half of it, as I said, goes for bread : th a t l eaves us 9s. a week for other things. Now, if the shilling loaf goes down will to sixpence, then mas ter be able to co m p ete with the continental master, by getting his work do ne for half the pre ll give a week's work f or 9 5., in _ sent price; that is, we sha stead of 18s. Still about half the wages will go fr,r bread • but then 4s. 6d. will buy as much bread as Os. will b u y now. Therefore, as far as the one article of bread goes, we shall be just where we started ; but for all other ' and, there articles that we want, • we shall have only 4s. 6d. a week, instead of 9s. fore, we would be worse off with the cheap bread than we are with the dear bread; so that, John, I don't see why we should agitate ,he matter at all, unless it be to prevent the change TITgRA IL IRIPPARI T AINI:I4 6 / FORT Ck,IVIIT L7' ELECTION. .On Friday evening the Amphitheatre was crowded to ex? gess by the members and friends of the Operative Protestatt Association, the period having arrived forthe holding of tht half-yearly general meeting of that body. On the platform we observed, among many others, the Rev. Hugh Nl`Neile, the Rev. W. W. Ewbank, the Rev. D. James, the Rev. H. S. Joseph, the Rev. F. Ould, the Rev. C. J. Hamilton, the Rev. J.

HUGH M'NEILE, president of the association, having taken the chair, the proceedings were commenced by the Rev. W. W. EWBANI( supplicating the divine blessing upon them. The Rev. CHAIRMAN then addressed as follows Benjamin Powell.—No, sir, I got the argnnunt out of your own mouth. You have told us very often, gre at object your object is to compete with the f ore i gn manufacturer ; and now you tell us, that in order to do so, you must have cheap la bour. Now I think I see that you are ashamed to agitate for cheap labour, and you think to impose upon us, and put us foi ward to agitate for cheap bread, when, in fact and in the long run, whatever you might gain, we would lose. 0 ! no, sir, it won't do. Give every thing its right name ; avow your object boldly ; placard the walls, and raise a clamour for cheap labour, and see who will join you. As for us, we have heard, and we believe it, th a t i n every o ld an d populous country in the world where food is cheap, wages are low ; that is to say, work is cheap, and the labourer is compara tively wretched. It is no answer to tell us that they have cheap bread and high wages in America, where there is such a deal of new land ; and comparatively so few people. illaster.—So, - then, you won't go to the great demonstra . 'flop t.pe.huge $ pug tugwea o.llt or tbp ruouopolligsl, about v wages Have yo 4 beet) to any of thesp confounded ton meetings, or tbep protestant speechifyings of the °rang parsons ? hold of tion in favour of ministers? Benjamin Powell.--No, sir, and I don't think above a do zen men of all who work in your mill will go, and that dozen are Irish Papists, who know no better, and must do as their priest tells them. They have been ordered to go because her Majesty's present ministers are great favourites with the Popish priests. Perhaps, master, you could tell us the rea son of that favouritism, for there is great talk about it, and suspicious people are saying, that as " nothing for nothing" is a maxim of the liberal school, it would seem that the mi nisters are doing the priests' work, or the priests and Mr. O'Connell would not take so much trouble to serve the mi nisters. Master.—Good evening, John, good evening. (Hear, hear, and loud laughter.) The reading of this dialogue was frequently interrupted by the applauding cheers of the meeting, whose gratification at its point and terseness seemed to have no limits. Silence having been restored, the reverend gentleman continued his address.—lf, he proceeded, we turn our attention from the manufacturing workman to the agricultural labourer, we shall see there, in like manner, that the poor man would not be benetitted by lowering the price of bread. (Hear, hear.) If the present plan proposed by her majesty's ministers were carried into effect, it would throw a considerable part of arable land in England and Ireland out of cultivation. (Hear, hear.) This, I know, has been denied, and the denial has been sustained by asserting, that wheat cannot be imported into England from Dantzig for less than 10s. a quarter freight. I believe this is a great mistake. if lam rightly informed, the best red wheat can be purchased now in Dant zig for 345. a quarter, and import e d i n t o E ng l an d f or 4 s. per quarter. If you add the proposed duty of Bs. you have Dantzig red wheat laid down in London at 465. a quarter No man who knows any thing of the charges and processe, of English agriculture will deny that this would throw i large portion of England and Ireland out of cultivation (Hear, hear.) Then, if it did, of course a number of agre cultural labourers would be discharged, and what is to be• come of those discharged labourers? (Hear, hear.) They must first either go to the manufacturing towns, and lower still further by competition the already-depressed wages of the manufacturer, or, secondly, they must be expatriated from their country under the fashionable name of "colonists," or they must, lastly, give themselves up to the tender mer cies of the new poor-law, and go into one of those union work houses which combine in themselves the characteristics of a convent, a nunnery, and a bastile. (Loud applause.) I am willing, my friends, to admit, that the present system may be improved in many of its practical details of working. I am willing to admit, that the places for taking the averages might, with great advantage, be increased in number, and that the time for making the returns might advantageously be diminished. lam willing also to admit, that the scale of duties ought, indeed, to be what it is called, a sliding scale, instead of being what it is now—rather a jumping scale than a sliding one. (Hear, hear.) The changes in it are too sud den. The various interests of the body politic are like the various members of the natural body. If any one member suffer, though it be out of a measure of preference to another member, yet eventually, in the course of the circulation, it comes round, and the whole body inevitably suffers with the suffering member. (Hear, hear.) It is the general good that we ought to promote, and not the good of a particular class. (Hear, hear.) They are England's worst enemies that make this a class question instead of a national ques tion. (Applause.) An equilibrium must be kept up in these great interests, and how is an equilibrium to be kept up ? Suppose you had a great beam placed horizontally upon a pivot, and you want to keep it level, but you are liable to varying weights by putting on at one and taking off at the other end ; how, with these varying weights, are you to keep the beam balanced? (Hear, hear.) Why, if you had a self-adjusting pivot under it that would slide along as the weights were put upon either end, you might do it. A self adjusting sliding pivot would keep the beam level, though there were varying weights taken off or thrown on at either end. (Hear, hear.) It is as obvious as any axiom in mechan ics, that if there be the slightest variation in the weights, no fixed pivot can maintain the equilibrium of the balance. No fixed scale, therefore, can maintain the equilibrium of the great interests of this community. (Cheers.) A fixed scale, fix it where you will, can not answer the purpose, for if it be fixed at a point which gives any thing approaching to protection in a time of plenty, it would be impossible to maintain it, for it would be utterly a starving point, in a time of dearth. If her majesty's ministers' plan were adopted, and Bs. a quarter duty were fixed, you would presently have no fixed scale ; a bad harvest would drive this Bs. duty like chaff before the wind, and you would have no protection at all. (Applause.) We admit, therefore, that in this process of adjustment, improvements may be made, and we hope im provements will be made. I heard to-day that there is sonic intention of making such improvements. Instead of having few places for the taking of the averages, if the returns of the retail trade were made to give averages, this would prevent all jobbing an d i mprove t h e wor ki ng of! the whole system. (Hear, hear.) I wish to make a few observations upon another branch of this subject. It is what the Manchester dictation gentlemen call " the Bible argument." (Hear, hear.) I have here one of the " Anti .bread Tax Tracts for the People," published by these gentlemen. It professes to contain— manin the gallery here caused some interruption by his exclamations against the speaker.] Mr. M`Netiae.—Do not mind that man. If he belongs to the other side, Ido not wonder he is uneasy. (Loud ap plause.) There are what is called " authorities against the corn-laws," in these Anti-bread.tax Tracts for the People ; and the first head of authority is professed to be from the Holy Bible—an imposing authority, and one which I trust English men will always be ready, promptly and reverently, to sub mit to. (Hear, hear.) Hear, now, the first text they quote as an authority against the corn laws. In the Ist chapter of Genesis and the 29th verse, it is said—" And God said, Be hold I have given you every herb bearing seed, which is upon the face, of all the earth, and every tree in the which is the fruit of a tree yielding seed : to you it shall be for meat." It is always suspicious when people stop their quotations in the middle of a sentence. (Hear, hear.) Now I will read you the finish of the sentence :—" And to every beast of the earth, and to every fowl of the air, and to every thing that creepeth upon the earth wherein there is life, I have given every green herb for meat : and it was so." Here is the universal grant of food from the Almighty to all his creatures here on the earth, man and beast, fowl and insects. The grant is equally to all. But by what means is this grant made available? Are the means the same to all? (Hear, hear.) Behold the fowls of the air : they sow not, neither do they reap, nor gather into barns, yet our Heavenly Father feedeth them ! (Hear.) They pay no tax on corn, yet our Heavenly Father feedeth them. Well, " Why," ask these gentlemen, " should man eat taxed bread seeing that God sends untaxed rain from heaven, and causes untaxed corn to spring from the earth, for the bird and the beast ?" We answer, be consistent, gentlemen, let man neither sow, nor reap, nor gather into barns, and then if our Heavenly Father still feeds him with corn, undoubtedly it should be untaxed corn. Being given without labour and without cost, it should certainly be without taxation. But do we find corn a natural production of the earth? Do we find wheat where there has been no human labour? Certainly not. We find red berries, and blackberries, and nuts, and weeds, and various sorts of wild fruits, appropriate food for birds, and monkeys, and savages, and anti- c or n -l aw leaguers. (Cheers and laugh ter.) All this we find beyond the precincts of taxation, and beyond the precincts of civilisation ; but wheat we do not find. (Hear, hear.) The means whereby it pleases God to feed man are suited to the intelligent nature of man, just as the means whereby he feeds the birds are suited to the instinct of the birds. (Hear.) The means whereby he is pleased to feed civilised man are complicated means ; they involve sow ing and reaping and gathering into barns; they involve sun ken capital and permanent periodical expense ; they must not be looked upon in an insulated way, but as a part, as a limb of a great living body ;—(hear, and loud cheers,)—and belonging to such a complicated system of things they are no longer to be put coolly and rashly on a par with the original grant to beasts and birds and insects, but must be considered with regard to the circumstances connected with themselves, and in that they involve capital sunk and expenses incurred, they are entitled to corresponding protection. (Loud cheers.) Therefore, to quote this original grant of Almighty God, of food to every Creature, as if it belonged to the subject before us, is either wilfully to deceive the unwary, or else it is to advocate a return to a state of nature ; to that happy and delightful state of equal rights and total exemption from tax ation, enviable specimens of which are presented in the fo rests of America and in the jungles of Hindostan. (Hear, hear.) Every lion in the forest is born to equal rights, to equal liberty, and an equal right to eat untaxed food with the others of his species, and when he comes to years of dis cretion, he takes theliberty of exercising those rights. (Hear, hear.) To deprive himself of a portion of his personal liberty and consent to eat his meat under any prescribed re gulations of order for the sake of improvement in the gene ral body, is disdained by the noble beast ; he is determined to have his natural rights, and his untaxed food, therefore he reigns in all the dignity of his natural liberty, in all the glory of his unmitigated ferocity. (Tremendous applause). If the lions could agree to subordination and taxation, the wilder- ness would bloom and blossem as the rose ; improvements in dens and dishes would immediately follow, and machinery take the place of tusks and claws. (Enthusiastic applause.) Now the anti corn-law gentlemen, like the uoble king of the forest, disdain to give up their natural rights, and their untaxed bread ; they disdain arrangements for order ; all protective management is quite below their dignity, (laugh ter and cheers). What nave we here on this subject in this " Anti-Corn-law Tract for the People?" Upon the autho rity of a Col. Thomson, whoever he is, (loud laughter) it is here put forward that " All protection means robbing somebody else!" (Hear, hear.) It is in vain to say this is distorted from its context. If it be distorted from the con text, who is to blame ? They are to blame for it, who print it to give away and circulate among the people. (Hear, hear.) " All protection means robbing somebody else !" That is all ! (Laughter.) What does it prove.? It proves that all policemen who take care of our houses at night are robbing the housebreakers of their " natural rights." (Loud cheers.) Every gentleman who has a secret button to pro tect his pocket, or by a secret chain protects his watch, is a robber, as, in the exercise of ungovernable selfishness lie is depriving the pickpocket of his " natural rights. (Loud laughter). All our lawyers, all our magistrates, and town councillors, all our mayors, and all our judges, all are no thing but a set of systematic robbers, giving protection t o some, and of course, robbing some one else ! (Loud cheers and laughter.) This is a specimen of one of the " A n ti bread tax tracts for the people." (Hear, hear.) But before 1 leave this subject, I want to call your atten tion to other quotations which they profess to give from the Holy Bible, and which are quite as relevant to the subject as the one I have just commented upon. There is a curious specimen here. Among the quotations, professed to be ta ken from the Bible, there is a passage not in the Bible at all ! (Cheers and cries of " hear, hear.") It is taken from the Apocrypha. Now no true protestant mingles the Apocrypha with the holy scriptures. The dissenters throw the Apo. crypha overboard altogether, and the Church of England, which retains those books as an ancient record, having many useful and valuable sayings in them, nevertheless, provides against mingling them with the holy bible, both by separating them in the arrangement of the books and by refusing to appeal to them for any authority of doctrine. (Hear, hear.) It is only the Church of Rome that mingles them ; and here is rather a shrewd sort of a specimen of presumptive internal evidence that the popish priests are in league with the anti corn-law leaguers. (Hear, and applause.) Finding that none of their texts really applied to the tles. tion before us, I was anxious to ascertain whether there was anything in the bible that did apply, and I think there is a text that will apply. (Hear.) I will call your attention to it. It is written in the 12th chapter of the Acts of the Apostles, and 20th verse. H ero d was highly displeased with them of Tyre and Sidon. Herod was a petty prince of only a portion of Palestine. Tyre was the mistress of the seas, and the mart of the commerce of the then civilised world. The 44yytt VOIN4I 400 1 13 yr14 1741 Ili oor por.„, rurfal; and 54031104 wore hos nembapts, • the poti,s o Togarmati was. there with horses and Mules ; the ships of Tarshish with silver, and iron, and tin, and lead; the men of Dedan with ivory and ebony ; Arabia and all the princes of Kedar were there with lambs, and rams, and goats ; the mer chants of Sheba and Rarnah were there with the chief of all spices, and with all precious stones and gold. By her great wisdom, and understanding, arid traffic, she had increased her riches, and sat as a god in the midst of the seas. So she is described. Of what consequence was it then to Tyre, a city of such exalted riches, such splendour, such unbounded commerce, that Herod, a poor petty prince in Palestine, was highly displeased with her? But it was it seems of the most urgent consequence, for they came with one accord, and having made Blastus, the king's chamberlain, their friend, they desired peace of the king. They besought or implored peace as the expression signifies. This was a most mortifying position for such a city as Tyre to be reduced to, but the reason, and a most sufficient reason, is assigned in the close of the verse, "because their country was nourished by the king's country." " Their cou n t r y was nour i s h e d b y the kings oountry, —they were indebted to Herod for their wheat—they had no home-grown corn. (Hear, hear, and cheers.) Vain their riches, vain their broidered manufac tures of exquisite workmanship, vain their precious stones, vain all their merchandise, vain all their pomp and glory— they had no home-grown wheat—(hear, hear) ;—and when Herod, a poor petty prince of Palestine, was angered, the mighty city of Tyre came as a suppliant to him to implore peace! (Immense cheering.) Gentlemen electors of Liverpool !—(loud cheers)—if you desire to see your country in the attitude of a suppliant at he ports of the Baltic or of the Black Sea ; if you desire to hasten the time so poetically anticipated when an artist from New Zealand shall sit upon the last mouldering arch of Lon don-bridge to sketch the ruins of St. Paul's ; if you desire to see the humiliation, the starvation, the final ruin of your country, you have only to cause her to be nourished by some other country —you have only to repeal the tak that secutes you home-grown wheat ! (Loud and long cheering.) But if you wish to keep your mother strong and healthy, as well as richly at!ired and tastefully adorned—if you wish to keep England the, arbitress of nations, as well as the mistress of the seas—if you wish to have her independent in peace, and in a reedy preparation for war, (the best attitude to secure the continuance of peace,) then let her he self-nourished — self-nourished as to wheat, self-nourished England—(tre mendous applause)—receiving supplies, indeed, when occa sional circumstances require it from without, but still substantially self-nourished. (Renewed cheers.) Gentle men! cultivate English and Irish wheat, and cultivate a state of mind which derives more pleasure from contempla ting an English or an Irish field of wheat than a French, or Dutch, or Polish, or Russian field. They are all very well, but none of them are England. (Tremen dous bursts of applause.) I love the word England, in cluding as it does the united empire. (Hear, hear.) Is it lawful to have a preference for England? (Cries of " yes, yes.") Surely it is ; a preference for every thing English becomes an Englishman. (Applause.) Is it lawful to have a preference for English manufactures ? doubtless it is so. Is it praiseworthy to take a greater interest in the prosperity of English than in the prosperity of continental cotton mills ? Are they desirous of competing with the continental manu facturer ? To be sure they are, and it is right they should, and we are aiding them when we cultivate the great interests of England, and every thing English—English manufactures, English machinery, English commerce, English sailors, ready and prepared f o r ever y occas i on , an d every enterprise alike of bravery and humanity, English navy, English army, English church—(tremendous applause)—English constitution, secur ing the splendour and prerogatives of the crown, the dignity and hereditary possessions of the nobles, and the liberties and security of the people. (Enthusiastic burst of applause.) English oxen, and sheep, and hogs, and poultry,—yes, and the best, safest, and most nutritious food for all these, EN GLISH CORN ! (Immense cheers.) 0 ! gentlemen, be not deceived by the n ew -f as hi one d can t o f cosmopolitan liberal ism, as if patriotism had become a prejudice ! (Hear, hear, hear.) No; cultivate patriotism in wheat. (Cheers.) Pa triotism in wheat ! (Renewed cheers.) Instead of looking upon patriotism as a prejudice, cultivate all that is dear to England —yes, and make the welkin ring with the cheers of honest hearts and hands and tongues for old England—for OLD HOME-FED ENGLAND! (Most enthusiastic burst of applause.) Gentlemen, I told you long ago that the day of action was come. We are going to have a general election. (A voice, "We are ready !") This question that I have been speaking to you about will be the grand war horse. You will have extraordinary statements, such as are contained in these tracts, put forward in defence of—who? (Hear, hear.) There are already candidates proposed in this town; two you are sure of—(cheers)—our present represen tative, and no mistake. (M uc h applause.) Who are their opponents ? We thought they had two, a noble lord and a knight; but the noble lord is what the old Romans called non est inventus—he is not forthcoming. The knight, how. ever, has come forward in an address. It would not become me to utter any comment upon the classical taste, or the liberal sentiments of that address; you must judge of that as best you may for yourselves; and I should not be sur prised that more of you are able to judge of such matters than he supposes, advocate though he is of " national edu cation" in capital letters. (Hear, hear, and cheers.) You have learned something of what was meant by " national education." It is one room in which all sorts are to be put —to give as much of geography, and astronomy, and arith metic, and reading, and spelli ng , as t h ey can till three o'clock—then from three till four there is a scatteration, in order that in the separate parts there may be a little Unita rianism, a little Popery, a little Independency, a little Church of Englandism, and a little Quakerism, and anything else. (Hear.) This is the English of the capital letters " Na tional Education," in the knight's address. But I have no doubt you will hear something more on this subject when our noble representatives come among you. (Hear.) They are coining to speak to you upon this point, and upon other things connected with the approaching parliament. You should bear in mind now, that the good of the community— not of a particular class—and the prosperity of England hands upon the coming election. (Hear, bear.) There never was a period before when the executive government made the repeal of the corn-laws a cabinet question ; there never was a period before when the executive government roused the passions of the people, and dissolved the parlia ment upon that question. (Hear, hear.) It is as wilful an attempt to cause revolutionary madness, with all its conse quent mischiefs to the country, as men could make. (Hear, hear.) We trust the people of England have good sense enough not to be roused by any such attempt, but that they will take a lesson from the respectable workmen I have read Abont„Tohn Guest and Benjamin Powell; mind their own business, and not agitate for their masters' pockets ! (Im mense and prolonged cheering, during which the reverend and eloquent gentleman resumed his seat.) The Rev. J. BAYLEE moved the first resolution. The Rev. D. JAMES seconded it; and, in putting it, the rev. CHAIRMAN strongly exhorted his operative friends to exert themselves in maintaining peace during the whole pe riod of the election. The resolution was unanimousl , adopted. The Ray. W. W. EWBANK moved the second resolution which was ably seconded by the Rev. FIELDING OULD, anc supported by Mr. ALEXANDER SMITH, jun. The CHAIRMAN then addressed the meeting in some ap. propriate remarks on their duties as Protestants. The proceedings concluded by the singing of a Doxology, and a blessing having been pronounced, the meeting separated. REVIEW OF THE CHESHIRE YEOMANRY The review of this fine body of men took place on Friday upon the sands, at Bootle, a little to the northward of the land -marks. The tide being out, a very fine area was formed, in which the various movements took place. The extreme beauty of the morning and the genial summer weather attracted a very considerable crowd of persons to witness the sight. We have seldom seen one more gratify ing, and the fine appearance of the men, their discipline and precision was the subject of general remark and approval. We believe that much emulation exists amongst the troops, and an anxiety to excel, in the usual soldierly accomplish ments. The cavalry does great credit to the county of Chester, and should occasion require, there is no doubt they will be ready and willing to do their duty. Every year these troops improve in appearance and discipline. On saluting the Reviewing Officers, the trumpeters played " God save the Queen." The following were the movements and evolutions—some of which were performed with great precision, and excited much admiration. Parade Movements, Rear Rank take Order. 2 Eyes Right, Draw Swords, (Officers Salute.) 3 Rear Rank take Close Order. 4 March past by Squadrons. 5 Form Troops, (Trot.) 6 Form Close Column. 7 Rank past by Single File. 8 Advance in Column of Troops from the Right to Trot fast. 9 Wheel into Line. 10 Single Files from the Right of Threes (March.) 11 Right Prove Distance. 12 Slope Swords. 13 Front Prove Distance. 14 Slo'pe Swords. 15 Perform Sword Exercise. 16 First Division. 17 Second Division. 18 Front Form Line.—(March.) Movements and Words of Command for Field Exercise. 1 Close Column on the Third Squadron Left in Front. 2 The Column will advance. 3 Deploy on the Third Squadron. 4 The Line will advance. 5 Open Column in Rear of the Right. 6 Wheel into Line. 7 Advance in Double Column on the Third Squadron Right Column Direct. 8 Form Line to the Right. 9 The Line will advance. 10 By Threes Change Position Right Back. 11 Advance in Echellon of Squadrons from the Left at half distance covered by Skirmishers. 12 Form Line on the Fifth Squadron on the March. 13 Retire in Column of Troops from the First and Fourth Squadrons. 14 Form Line to the Rear on the Leading Troops: 15 Close Column on the Fifth Squadron Right in Front. 16 Attack by Squadrons and Retire by Threes from the Flanks. 17 The Column will take ground to the Right. 18 Advance by Troops from the Right. 19 Wheel into Line. 20 The Line will attack to the Front. 21 Retire by Threes from the Right of Squadrons. 22 Advance in Parade Order and Salute ; at the Halt, the Officers Salute and Carry Swords by Signal. Colonel White, during the whole of the manoeuvres, watched them very narrowly, and at the conclusion of the field day, addressed Lieut.-Col. Egerton, the commanding officer, as follows : He begged to state to him how much he felt satisfied at everything that he had seen on the field that day. That the movements were done with remarkable precision, and that he observed the officers particularly understood their duty, and that the non-commissioned officers and men worked under them with the greatest alacrity and order, and that their horse appointments and their own clothing and accoutre ments were clean, and remarkably well put on both them selves and their horses, and he (Colonel White) could not but admire how extremely well the regiment was mounted, which was highly creditable to it. In conclusion, he ex pressed to Colonel Egerton his wish that his good opinion of the corps in every particular should be communicated to both officers, non-commissioned officers, and privates. The day passed off without accident or mishap. So ex cellent a review has seldom been seen On Tuesday morning Sir Chas. Napier, Major the Commandant of the Northern District, inspected the King's Cheshire YeoManry, and expressed himself highly gratified with the discipline of the corps. He closely inspected all the arms and accoutrements, which he was pleased to say were in high order. Sir Charles attended to the firings, mounted and dismounted; and at the conclusion begged Lieut. Col. Egerton to accept his thanks for the fine appearance of the corps. We cannot but add our meed of praise to the excellent conduct of the yeomanry during their short so journ in this town. The parishioners of St. Giles, in the city of Durham, being anxious to show their estimation of the unwearied and assiduous labours among them of the Rev. W. Cassidi who has been appointed to the Vicarage of Grindon, near Stock ton, by the Rev. G. S. Faber, Master of Sherburn Hospital, entered into a subscription and purchased a very beautiful tea-service, which was presented to Mr. C. on Friday last, in the parish church. /ft arltrts. LIVERPOOL COTTON MARKET, JUNE 11 We have had rather more business doing in Cotton this week than for some weeks past ; the market, however, re mains very dull, and depressed. The consumption, (owing to the continued working of short time by the sp i nners,) being still limited. No decided change can, however, be noticed in prices since Friday last, although all descriptiens continue very heavy of sale, and in some instances holders have been obliged to give way a little. The total sales of the week are 19,880 b a l es, o f which 700 bags American and 500 bags Surat have been purchased by speculators, and 400 bags American and 100 Surat by exporters. COTTON MARKET, Juica 12. We have experienced some little improvement in the demand for Cotton to-day from the trade, accompanied by a slight speculative inquiry to the extent of 400 bales. The total sales amount to 3,000 bags without the least change in prices from the quotations of yesterday. COTTON MARKET, JUNE 14. The improved feeling which was noticed on Saturday still con continues to prevail in the Cotton market. The sales to-day are to a fair extent, and amount to fully 3,000 bags; 350 bags of which have been taken by speculators, and the remainder by the trade. Prices are steady at the quotations of Friday last. COTTON MARKET WEEKLY REPORT. Althongli there has been more inquiry from the Trade this week, the market has been freely supplied, particularly with the low and middling qualities of American ; in prices, however, no material change can be noticed since Friday last. Speculators have taken 700 American and 500 Surat, and Fxporters 400 American and 100 Surat. ACCOUNT OF SALES AND IMPORTS OF COTTON, From the 4th to the 10th instant. inclusive.

Flour, and Oatmeai into this port, since this day se'nnight, are of ♦ery small amount ; and the arrivals from abroad, consisting of 8,033 qrs. Wheat and 450 qrs. Beans, are, for the present, placed under bond. Throughout the week we have a very moderate demand for free Wheat for con sumption ; and, under the small influx of supply, recourse to our granary stocks having been necessary, prices espeeially for fresh parcels of Foreign, have crept up: 98 ad has been paid for Stettin, and 8s 6d to 85 8d per 701bs for Odessa soft, being 2cl a bushel more than could be obtained at the date of our last report. The market has been similarly situated as regards Flour: United States, duty paid, is now held at 35s 6d to 36s 6d, or for an advance of Is per barrel, and home manufacture is also Is per tack dearer. In the early part of the week, holders of Oats submitting to a decline of Is per bushel, two or three parcels were taken for the country, but the general demand for that grain has still been languid ; 25 9d to 25 NU per 451b5 the present quotation for Irish.
