THE PRESIDENT We are still without 'any intelligence of the long-missing President. She sailed on the 10th of March, so that eighty five days have elapsed since she left New York ; and though we are reluctant to abandon all hopes of her re-appearance, it is impossible not to entertain the most serious apprehen sions as to her fate. Meantime, however, surmises more easily formed than shown to be reasonably tenable, continue to be indulged in by a portion of the press, and whatever transpires on which the most remote possibility of her safety can be hinged, is eagerly seized, and with more adroitness than discretion, magnified into a strong probability, tending to excite expectations which are unhappily blighted. Did we consult our own individual feelings we should shrink from a recurrence, for the present at least, to a subject that can not be touched without creating the most painful forebodings. But as every thing that transpires relative to the ill-fated vessel is looked for with anxiety by the public at large, we are reluctantly constrained to the task. On Wednesday a great sensation was created in the busi ness part of the town by the following information, furnished to the Underwriters and Exchange News Rooms, by Cap tain Arbuthnot, of the brig Fortitude, which arrived at this port that morning from Buenos Ayres : " A very large steamer, without funnel, crippledforemast, large paddle-boxes painted a dark colour, with a large square topsail set on the main topmast; topgallant sail on the fore topmast, and with fore and aft sails, was seen by the Forti tude about ten miles distant, on the 27th of May, at five o'clock, a.m. in latitude 47, N. longitude 24 30, W. steering north-east, and making but slow progress." This was calculated to cheer the d rooping hopes of many of those who felt an interest in the fate of the President, though others cautiously abstained from forming hasty con clusions, or premises certainly somewhat vague and uncer tain, • Our contemporary the Mail, with his accustomed acuteness, came to the aid of the former in his paper of yes terday morning, in an article as follows : "THE PRESIDENT SAFE! " In the midst of the numerous and most ridiculous re ports so absurdly circulated, regarding the probable fate of the President, it is in the highest degree gratifying to us to be the first newspaper to announce that there is an almost absolute certainty of her safety, and that she may, ere long, be expected again to anchor in the qnier waters of the Mer sey. By the brig Fortitude, which arrived yesterday morn ing, we learn that a steamer, with her machinery disabled, and exactly answering her description, was seen on Friday last, near to the Azores Island, under sail, and apparently steering for Ireland. She was almost in the tract of the Halifax mail steamers ; and as the Britannia, which has been due several days, has not come into port, we think it exceed ingly probable that she may have the President in tow, and will bring her up in the course of the day, or give a satis factory information that she has left her safely moored in the harbour of Cork." He concludes by furnishing, as the ground of his argument, the information above quoted, as received from Captain Arbuthnot. We deeply regret that the sanguine expectations of our contemporary, amounting to" an almost absolute certainty", have already been wholly and lamentably dissipated. The' vessel which Captain .Arbuthnot saw (and with whose report the Mail takes a liberty which it does not warrant, in stating that it conveyed an exact description of the President), has since arrived in this port, and turns out to be the London, from Yarmouth, Nova Scotia, which had been crippled in her foremast, and had some timber piled on her decks, that, at the distance of ten miles might he mistaken for paddle-boxes. This is placed beyond a doubt by the latitude and longitude of that vessel on the day and at the hour mentioned precisel) corresponding with Captain Arbuthnot's account. The Mail speaks of. " numerous ridicuious reports ab surdly circulated" regarding the President, and not con tented with very kindly discovering that vessel, and announcing an " almost absolute certainty of her safety," he condescendingly undertakes to have her towed up into the " quiet waters of the Mersey," or into Cork, by the royal mail steam-ship Britannia, which he puts it down as exceed ingly probable had fallen in with her! Ridiculous as have been the reports alluded to by the Mail, and all of which he, too, "absurdly circulated" in this town, no conjecture half so ridiculous or absurd as that the little Britannia would be sure to overtake the huge President, and tow her from the vicinity of the Azores to the Sloyne ! This man ner of accounting for the Britannia being a day or two beyond the usual time is worthy of the ingenuity of the wiseacres of Liver-court, but it is nevertheless exceedingly ridiculous and absurd. If the Britannia fell in with the Pre sident at all, (which is not very probable,) all she could do — being a mail boat conveying important dispatches and letters under a government charter—would be to take off the pas sengers and crew, if she were in a very leaky or dangerous state, and abandon her ; or, if otherwise, but with her ma chinery disabled, take off the passengers, and supply the crew with provisions, or such stores or assistance, as would enable them to hold out in working her home. This, unless the weather were stormy, could be accomplised in a few hours, a delay beyond which no captain of a mail steamer would care to incur, as it would involve a breach of his instructions. If she were found in distress in the proximity of a port that could be reached a fe the Britannia, it may be added, might probably have given her a tow. But even on the supposition that the Britannia had become a steam -tug for once, by what logic, by what nautical calcu lation, according to Moore or Norris, does the Mail make it out, that both vessels will "be up "at Liverpool on the day he writes.. He knows nothing of the difficulties and tardiness of towing a vessel of that size ar.d burthen, otherwise he would not give " absurd circulation," to " moat ridiculous" assumptions, which those who are at all conversant with ma ritime, affairs cannot 4` hoist in." We shall not be sur prised after this to find it announced by the erudite writers of the Mail, that they have discovered the desiderata of the longitude, and the squaring of the circle. CONSECRATION OF NEW CHURCHES, Our beloved and persevering diocesan has this week been busily occupi e d i n th e per formance of incessant but very gratifying duties in this town. We have elsewhere noticed his administration of the rite of confirmation, and now we have the pleasure to record his consecration of no less than three new churches in our own immediate locality. The first consecration was that of the church dedicated to St. Clement, recently erected at Windsor, and of which the Rev. Frederick Parry, late of Chester , has been a pp ointed the officiating minister. The service was well attended by the surrounding population, among who m the zeal and p iet y of the respe c t e d minister will doubtless effect much good. Yesterday the Bishop consecrated the new church erected on a plot of land between Greenland-street and Parliament street, at the expense of the Liverpool Church Building So ciety. It is dedicated to St. Barnabas. A tolerably full congregation attended on the occasion, amongst whom was a large body of clergy. Prayers were read by the Rev. James Nolan, after which the Bishop preached an excellent and im proving sermon adapted to the occasion. Mr. Nolan, as we stated some time ago, has been appointed to the incumbency of this church. The rev. gentleman is a staunch advocate of Protestantism. Previous to his arrival among us he was curate of St. Peter's Church, in Stockport : and to spew the estimation he was held in there, we quote the following para graph from the Stockport Advertiser:— " Since Mr. Nolan announced his intention of resigning the curacy of St. Peter's, a most strenuous effort has been made by his coaregation to retain him as their pastor. A memorial has blen presented to him, signed by almost every pewholder in his church, and by a very large proportion of the congregation, generally expressing their entire satisfac tion with him as their minister, and praying him to remain amongst them. W hile this document was in course of sig nature, several very pleasing incidents came to light, of the estimation in which Mr. Nolan is held by the humbler mem bers of his congregation. We believe Mr. Nolan would have gladly complied with the flattering request made to him, but the delichte health of Mrs. Nolan, to the complete restora tion of which sea air seems indispensable, finally determined him to accept the situation, painful as it might be for him to leave a town where he has experienced so many acts of per sonal kindness, and where his ministerial labours were so useful and so generally appreciated. We again congratulate the congregation of St. Barnabas, Liverpool, on the choice which has been made for them of a pastor; and we devoutly pray that the Lord of the Harvest may send many more such labourers into his vineyard.' Beset as the church at this moment is, by traitors from within, and fierce foes without, there never was a period in her history when her usefulness, and even her very existence, depended more on the character and conduct of her ministers." This morning (Friday) the Bishop will proceed to Waterloo, to consecrate Christ Church, when the Rev. Mr. Bates, late eurate at St. Bride's, officiates with zeal and success. We are glad to say, that in a very short time one or more additional churches in the neighbourhood will be ready for consecration. Our venerable diocesan cannot be too fre quently occupied with discharging this portion of his episco pal duties ,• and we are satisfied that there is none in which he takes greater delight. .Pwritists, OR CON S UMPTION.—This dreadfuldisease has, with much truth, been called the scourge of Great Britain ; nor can this be wondered at when it is recollected its victims are generally the young and beautiful, and those whose every feeling endear them to their home and friends. We perceive that Mr. Cronin has taken a view of this affection different from the generality of m e di ca l pract i t i oners : deeming it to arise from diseased heart, he treats the primary state as dis ease of this important orga n, which, i n a l most every i nstance, will be found seriousl y Diseases a ff ected, and t o cause that languor and lassitude that invariably pr ece d es confirmed phthisis.— See Cronin on of the Nervous System. MILNER' S PATENT FIRE -PROOF BOXES. —We have be fore us a curious old document, draw n in the reign of Henry VIII., and ratified b y five individuals. Of course the writing is on parchment, but there is nothing so curious in the con tents of the deed as in the style of its ratification, which is not a little indicative of the spirit of the age. Clerkly skill was not then so gen eral as at the present da y , and but few individuals were capable of subscribing their names to a docu ment. Signing, therefore, was less Common than sealing, and many a doughty baron was fain to adopt the latter mode of attestation. Many of our readers may have met with a Copy of an old title deed, whereby William the Conqueror conveyed certain estates to, we believe, the family of How ard for the feudal service of A crossbow and arrow When he should go and hunt at Yarrow. It will be remembered that the ryhming clerk who drew the deed caused the monarch to say, And in token that the thing is sooth, I have bit the white wax with my tooth. It was very commoe, for even the greatest dignitaries to use the tooth, or the nail, or the impress of the finger even. in lieu of a seal. The deed before us bears no signatures, but ap pended to it are five seals, four of which are impressed with the devices of exceedingly rude workmanship. The fifth is merely marked with the finger, and the grain or surface of the skin of the individual who has been for centuries laid in the dust, is distinctly visible on the wax. This document was, with a number of books and papers, placed, on Monday last, in one of Milner's patent fire-proof boxes, which was in the presence of the mayor, Sir Thomas Branckcr, and several gentlemen of high respectability, put into the centre of a large fire, made with a quantity of wood, and about 6 cwt of coal. The box was kept in the fire for two hours, when it was taken out, suffered to cool, and then opened. The whole of the documents were found to be as perfect as when they were first placed in the box. The deed of which we have spoken, had been purposely placed near the surface, and it new lies before us almost as fresh as when it was first en grossed. A notification of the ordeal to which it has been subjected has been written on the back of the document, and subscribed by the mayor and the other gentlemen present. Our readers will find a copy of it in an advertisement in another part of our paper. The box and its contents, with the ancient - deed, are in the master's reem, Exchange. MR. GEORGE WILDRAYAM AND THE CORN. LAWS One of the most extraordinary productions we have met with for some time has just fallen under our notice, we allude to the address of Mr. George Wilbraham, the present mem ber for South Cheshire, to his constituents and other electors of that division of the county. When we look back at Mr. George Wilbraham's career as a legislator, when we examine the cameleon-like changes which have periodically taken place in his opinions—we can not wonder very much at finding that another " variation of shade" has presented itself to view. Mr. George Wilbraham has been termed the farmer's friend" ; now what has Mr. George Wilbraham done for the farmer, we should like to know ? Can any agriculturist in the county of Chester point to any one item in connection with a farm or with farming generally, that Mr. George Wilbraham can be said to have benefitted by his return to parliament ? " The honourable member" has advocated a total repeal of the corn-laws, then he became a convert to the extension of opinions in favour of a moderate fixed duty, next, he spoke in favour of the corn laws remaining in their present state. When the last debate on the corn-laws took place, Mr. Wilbraham said he could not consent to snake this country dependent for its supply of one of the first necessaries of life upon foreign kingdoms. I f they threw themselves upon foreign countries for a supply, what guarantee had they that Russia would not close her ports against them ? The supply from Central Europe would be precarious, and France, Spain and Portugal were generally speaking more importing than exporting countries. It was his firm belief that there was no grain in Europe so good as that which was grown in England; and he should be sorry to see this country obliged to ransack every part of the globe, and yet reduced to the greatest extremity, as al ready had occurred in the year 1729. And now we come to the document we allude to at the commencement of this ar ticle—namely, Mr. George Wilbraham's address to the elec- " The corn law is a subject of universal interest throughout the kingdom." It needs " no ghost to tell us this." " The question at present it rather as to the comparative expediency of a fixed duty, or of the present sliding scale." What Mr. Wilbraham means by a comparative expediency is not very clear; nor is the next sentence more lucid:— " I am ready to support a fixed duty in preference to the present sliding scale; but I consider a duty of Bs. per quar ter inadequate for the protection of the farmer, and I shall not be satisfied without a higher amount of duty." Now, what is the amount of duty which will be adequate to protect the farmer ? Why, Mr. George Wilbraham knows right well that Bs., which he honestly avows he will not vote for, will not be sufficient ; and he knows that neither 12s. or 1,55., nor, indeed, anything short of 205., will protect the farmer; and when we find the honourable member proceeding to say— " Consistently with these opinions, I shall vote for the proposition of the government, which does no more than affirm the general principle of a fixed duty, but I shall do so with an express understanding that I do not thereby assent to the rate of duty proposed by the government, and that I shall not be satisfied without a full protection to the farmer," We consider that this is an avowal tantamount to a positive re fusal to support the government in their measure, ant a mere truckling to the opinions of the electors for electioneering purposes. Mr. George Wilbraham knows that for the protection of the farmer the ministry care not a but ton—they only care for the interests of the dense po pulation of the manufacturing towns, where Radi - calism, Papacy, and Infidelity infest their purlieus. It is not in the free air of the country, amongst the right minded, honest yeomen, uncontaminated by the rubbish pottered and mumbled at "institutes," that the present wretched administration look for strength ; no, it is in the towns that man hath made—not in the country--Goo's bright creation. Mr. Wilbraham will not deceive the agri culturists of Cheshire again. The wealth of the country is very great, and its interests must not be left in the bands of an experimentalist as Mr. George Wilbraham assuredly is—to play with. He has " turned, and turned, and turned again"—but having taken all the turns on the subject, there is nothing now left for him to do but return to his first posi tion, and advocate a total repeal, which he will dcr, should the electors be so foolish as to place confidence in him again. The registration for South Cheshire we are assured is in a most prosperous condition. Mr. Tollemache's reception has been most enthusiastic every where, and when we declare that he has secured three votes out of every four, we are within the mark. Mr. Tollemache's persevering and phi lanthropic endeavours, in procuring for the poor benighted Weaver river population and navigation the great benefits and blessings of religious instruction, will not be forgotten. The great want of church accomodation throughout the line of the Weaver is too well known ; and when the Sunday trading was abolished, the state of the flatmen and hawlers was worse than ever, for their idleness proved a powerful incentive to crime and vicious indulgence. Few men have such facilities for plunder as has this class of people, and their conduct ought to be morally good in every possible way. Mr. George Wilbraham opposed this measure, having the fear of the ratepayers before his eyes rather than the fear of God, for the question at the time was not well understood by the generality of the Cheshire inhabitants, some of whom expected nothing less than that the passing of the act and the building of the Weaver churches would entail upon them a heavy country rate. _ . There is much to be done to secure Mr. Tollemache's election, buy let the farmers of Cheshire mark well Mr. George Wilbraham's address, let them note its absurdities, its waverings, and its indecisive tenor, and let them ponder well before they give him their vote. The address is a type of Mr. George Wilbraham's principles, his abilities, and his consistency. We will now conclude with the close of the address, which is as soft, and silly, and vague as any other portion : " These views do not at all connect with any general ap proval of those measures recently proposed by the govern ment, which have for their object the advancement of the commercial and manufacturing interests, the alleviation of the distresses of the poor, and the general prosperity of the country." INQUEST ON THE BODY OF THE STEWARD OF THE UNITED STATES.-VERDICT OF WILFUL MURDER AGAINST A PASSENGER. On Wednesday an inquisition was held at the Sessions house, before P. F. Curry, Esq., Coroner, touching the death of Eli Robinson, a coloured man, steward of the ship United States, which arrived from New Orleans on Sunday last. The prisoner is a stout-built, round-faced, and rather good-looking young man, with nothing of apparent ferocity in his countenance. He was dressed in blue trowsers and a fustian jacket, and, from his accent, is doubtless a native of Ireland. His name is Patrick Cahill. Until told that he might sit down, he stood with his hands locked against his breast. When asked, after the first witness had been ex amined, if he had any questions to put, he said, in a quiet tone, "No ; I ask no questions—l have done that." The following evidence was adduced: — Robert Rolston Deakin examined—l am second mate of the American ship United States. The deceased, whose name was Eli Robinson, was steward on board the same vessel. He was about 55 years old. We left New Orleans about the middle of April last. The prisoner was a steerage passenger. We arrived at Liverpool on Sunday night last, and on Tuesday morning went alongside the Prince's pier head for the purpose of docking. I observed the deceased and the prisoner together at the fore part of the vessel. The prisoner was asking him for some tobacco, and the de ceased said he had none. The prisoner said " give it to me, or I'll kill you." The deceased then run to the starboard side of the vessel, and the prisoner followed him. I did not observe that the prisoner had anything in his hand. They ran round the vessel a second time, and the prisoner caught the deceased close by the main rigging. He laid hold of the deceased by his neck, and I saw him strike him on the back and neck. The deceased turned round and raised both his hands up. The prisoner then struck him in the abdomen, and I saw that the prisoner had a knife in his hand. I ran to his assistance, but before I could get to him the prisoner struck the deceased again with the knife two or three times in his breast. I got hold of the prisoner and made him fast to the main rigging by a rope. The deceased was sitting at the time on the hatchway. I went to him, took off his handkerchief, unbuttoned his waistcoat, and found that he was bleeding freely, but did not observe how many wounds he had in his breast. I had him carried into the cabin, and directly after he was taken on shore. The only words I heard pass between the deceased and the prisoner were those before stated. The prisoner, during the voyage, had always conducted himself in a quiet, peaceable manner. The pri soner was quite sober. We arrived in the channel on Friday, and I expected to be in town on Saturday night, and made a remark that I would never place any dependence on wind or weather again, and said I did not believe there was anything certain but death. The prisoner was then standing by. The following morning, the prisoner came to me and said, "What was that you were saying about murder last night ?" I told him I had said nothing on the subject. He appeared to have something heavy on his mind, and walked the deck all that night. A number of other witnesses were examined, who proved the fact of the prisoner having repeatedly stabbed the deceas ed. The last witness examined was Edward Parker, Esq., who deposed as follows am as sistant house-surgeon at the Northern Hospital. The de ceased was brought there on Tuesday morning, about eight o'clock. I saw him immediately, and found life quite ex tinct. I have since made a post mortem examination of the body. There was a wound about half an inch long on the left breast, which had evidently been occasioned by some sharp instrument. It was situated at the junction of the fourth rib with the breast bone, and appeared to penetrate the cavity of the chest. It passed in a direction downward, between the fourth and fifth ribs, and pierced the purse of the heart, and wounded the right ventricle of the heart. There were several ounces of fluid blood in the purse of the heart, and the cellular tissue in front of the purse was infil trated with blood. The wound on the heart was about the third of an inch in length. The bone of the breast, at its junction with the fourth rib, was nicked by a sharp instru ment. The wound on the heart was the cause of death. There was a flesh wound on the right breast, two flesh wounds on the back, and a wound at the back of the head ; and a small portion of the skull was clipped off. The prisoner, after being cautioned in the usual way, said he had nothing to say. The Coroner briefly addressed the jury. From the evi dence of the surgeon, it clearly appeared that death was caused by a wound iu the heart ; and from that of the other witnesses, no doubt could be entertained but the prisoner's was the band that inflicted it. In order to give a verdict of murder, it must be shewn that there was malice either pre pense or implied. There was in this case evidently an evil design—the prisone r h av i ng sa i d, " If you don't give it me , —meaning something e . —" I'll kill yen." The circumstance, too, of using a deadly instrument such as the knife, implied m alice. He had no do u bt of this on his own mind, and if they held the same opinion, the verdict would be wilful mur der against the prisoner. The jury immediately returned a verdict of " wilful mur der" against the prisoner, who was committed, en the coro ner's warrant, to take his trial at the assizes. The witnesses were bound over Fe appear against Mel t h a the ow o f $lOO each. PALMERSTON lANA. . FOR TIIE LIVERPOOL STANDARD.) " I admire the man who acts from principle "! Lord Palmerston's Speech on the Budget We always thought, dear Palmerston, that you Stood pretty high in your own estimation; But to another now, it seems, is due Your lordship's condescending admiration : For PRINCIPLE you now admire, we see— " The man of principle " ; and who is HE ? This man, preferring principle to pelf, 'Tis very plain, PAL, cannot be thyself! PROTEUS How the following correspondence fell into our hands, and by what means we expect to be favoured with the re mainder of the series, we " say not." The letter alluded to in the noble lord's " protocol" we do not publish. It is in truth too noodle-ish even for the worthy perpetual chairman of the mobocracy of Liverpool. INTERCEPTED PROTOCOLS. (No. I.) Mr VERY DEAR KNIGHT, — IIer Majesty's Secretary for Foreign Aflairs Phsaw ! I thought I was commencing a despatch to that booby, Sydenham, about some mighty Ca nadian affair, when I'm only writing a confidential letter to you, Sir Joshua, about my election for the borough of Li verpool—my elevation to the seat once occupied by Canning and Huskisson ! Lord, how George would stare if he could only dream of his old tape-tying chum as the foreign secre tary of a Whig-radical government, and the anti-corn-law, anti-colonial, pro-popery candidate for Liverpool ! But there 's no end to the marvellous nowadays ; so to business. You say you are getting on well amongst the electors. Now don't expect to barn me, Sir Joshua, into such a folly as leaving my snug quarters at Tiverton upon such a wild goose expedition as this would be into which you would gladly draw me. 'I repeat, I have not the slightest objection to your putting me up —even to be knocked down again—if you can secure a respectable number of votes; but I won't be committed, mind. If you could screw up your strength to anything approaching to an equality, we might perhaps, by such aids as need not be mentioned, turn the scale ; and, truth to tell, things look so very blue at head-quarters, that some coup de main of this kind is the only thing that can keep us all out of perdition, and in place. But I won't, mind, on such a forlorn hope, "desert the electors of Tiver ton" ."Twould break their hearts—poor, dear innocents ! But you ask to what principles you are to pledge me. Why, Sir Joshua, 1 didn't think you could have been such a noodle. Principles! Just fancy me, Lord Viscount Pal merston, enunciating that sublime sentence—" I ADMIRE PRINCIPLE ; I ADMIRE TEE MAN WHO ACTS FROM PRIN CIPLE"! Lord Johnny declares that Morpeth couldn't have done it with such sublime effect. But to ask ME what principles you may pledge the to at an election is—pardon me, Sir Joshua—a little too ridiculous. Haven't I " boxed the compass" already from ultra-toryism to ultra-radicalism —and talk to me about principles? Sir Joshua, I have no fixed principles; and never had. You may pledge me to what you like—anything, everything; but surely you don't expect any pledge of the kind to be redeemed. Make me member fur Liverpool, and—a taco for your pledges ! I wouldn't care a rush for corn-laws or constituents. _.............-. ... " Populus me sibilat ; At mihi plaudo, 7. simul ac contemplor Nummos in area." But you don't understand Latin, Sir Joshua ; and more 's the pity. Why don't you get some of their reverences to " cram" you with a little for parliamentary purposes ? But they don't understand it either—more's the shame, when the vagabonds have it under their noses '' in scEcula screulo rum " or, in the vernacular, " morning, noon, and night " —or, better still, " for ever and a day." With respect to the other matters you talk about in your prosy epistle, they are really not worth my notice. It is enough that you can use my name just as you like, and pro mise just what you like ; and I can afterwards use a similar license, and perform just what I like. If it 's "nogo " after all, why I shall be a peer and you a baronet, for your " disinterested efforts in the cause of civil and religious li berty, free trade," and all that sort of thing—perhaps at least, for you know I may be out, and then—" c'est autre chose" ; but you don't know French—" worse luck," as my friend Dan would say. Therefore I remain your knight ship's most obedient servant, and would-be- Downing-street, Ist June, 1841 THE KNIGHT IN REPLY. (No. 2.) MY VERY DEAR VISCOUNT,—I am glad to find that, with respect to your principles, you give us a fair " margin," as we say in our prices current; for, to be plain, my lord, we have such a motley set to do with, that, in order to bring them all together, we must not be nice to a shade or two. I have just hinted to a radical fellow who was very obstinate about the new poor law, that although as a member of the cabinet you supported that measure, yet that privately you were opposed to it, and that its repeal would immediately follow the repeal of the iniquitous bread-tax. There is one subject—a very important one too—which I omitted to touch upon in my last—the subject of your lord ship's religious principles, or rather professions, for you seem touchy upon that word " principle." It is necessary, you know, to profess something; and I cannot for the life of me remember—and the Mercury's " log-book," even, which contains all the notahilia of the last half century, affords no clue to the mystery—what is the religion which your lordship professes. It would be a great acquisition to our chances of success if I could be allowed to hint that you are a Socinian, a Socialist, or anything of that description; or that, privately even, your opinions leaned towards infi delity in any other shape. The best and surest card, how ever, would be Popery. If I might say that you were, even privately—for all the world knows that you are not so pub licly—a member of the Roman creed, we should carry the day to a certainty—if bludgeons and brickbats could do anything in Liverpool. You can't think what an effect the hint that her Majesty herself only waited the overthrow of the landed aristocracy to declare herself openly for Popery, has excited amongst the lutnpers and hodmen ; and they are our only hope in this borough. We can't win in the way your lordship points out—with treasury gold or with factory gold. We have tried that before. The " protectors" and their shillelaghs are our only chance ; and that is but a sorry one, if it comes to hard blows. I receive in good part your lordship's suggestion with respect to the usefulness of Latin to a senator, and have already got by heart Lord Morpeth's quotation about the sliding scale- - " Labitur et labetur, in otnne voluminus mvum." I can't say that I understand very well what it means though, or that I spell it very correctly ; and the ofercury is not very clear upon it. Don't you iink, by the bye, that, upon Welsh subjects at least, a Welsh quotation will be very ap propriate? lam getting quite a dab at Welsh. I have shown your last letter to several of the committee, who are delighted with the convenience of your lordship's principles, which slip on and off as the wind changes. What a luxury it would be this hot weather, if we had our garments made in this convenient fashion ! Especially to me it would be a luxury when I have to attend meetings of our constitu ents who have a filthy habit of coming without washing hands or face, or changing their boots, (after having been working all day, perhaps, in sewers,) and smell, in conse quence, of anything but rose water. It is scarcely fair in you who enjoy all the profit to leave pie all the work, which I assure you is not the pleasantest possible ; but never mind so long as " victory crowns our efforts"—as my address says, or will say rather. Waiting an early reply, I am, your lordship's obedient servant. (The signature is unfortunately obliterated, with the exce ion of one word which is written very large—" KNIGHT.")

Bulwer's play of " Richelieu" was played on Tuesday, and we cannot but admit that it was most admirably done. Mr. Macready, as the Cardinal, presented us with a fine portrait of that celebrated statesman. Declining in years, but not in intellect, we observed the tottering footstep and the trembling gait, but we saw also the immortal mind existing strong and vigorous as in other times. Mr. M . a cready's acting was most masterly, and with all the high finish of perfection. The scenes in his chamber—at Rouelle, and before the king, were all excellent. Mrs. Salsberg (late Miss Phillips) played Julie very beautifully. She appears to have grown thin in person since we last saw her, but her voice and graceful action are as fascinating as ever. Mr. Stuart played Barradas with great ability. He drew with truthful ness the character of the plotting courtier, whose ambition prompted him to mount—no matter how—but whose mind had not the power to overreach the master-spirit who swayed France's destiny. Barradas was extremely well done. Mr. Stuart has placed another laurel in his histrionic wreath. Mr. Holl as De Mauprat looked and acted the gallant sol dier well. His manly bearing and dashing appearance might well captivate Richelieu's fair ward. Mr. Lynne (who was engaged here last season) on this occasion played Joseph, the humble but tried and trusty friend of Richelieu. This cha racter requires great nicety and attention ; many fine points in the Cardinal would " go tardily off" if not well played up to by Joseph. Deep in his master's secrets, obedient to his will, and ready to do his bidding, Joseph goes sturdily to work, without much prospect of present gain, and looks only for the " bishopric" in futuro. Mr. Lynne balanced the scale nicely between dutiful attention and subserviency ; and we must say, that he did this uphill, unassuming character with great ability. Mr. Lynne only wants opportunity—a clear stage and no favour. He is a rising actor, and time will show it. Mr. Bland exerted himself wonderfully as Riche lieu's page. It is the best character we have seen him play for some time. He threw off his apathetic indifference and that" I don't careishness" which generally prevails through out his acting. He seemed to feel what he was about. Mr. G. Horncastle played Huguet with great judgment. Miss Barratt must be commended as Marion De L' Orme ; trifling as is the past she took great pains with it. Several of the scenes were new on this occasion. Mr. Macready was called for at the close of the play. When will this absurd custom be abolished ? The laughable farce of " The Happiest Day of my Life" sent the audience home not exactly " weeping to their beds." Mrs. Clarke and Baker played inimitably. Miss Honner and Mrs. Barton did the bride and bridesmaid with great sprightliness. Previous to the farce Mr. Aldridge, Jun.'s waltzes, Les Hennas, were performed. The house was well attended. Last night, " Werner" was splendidly represented ; and the theatre was filled in every part by a fashionable audience. Letters fres* all parts of the eentiaant represent the stilted jag erops as thefieest ever ion. OORRESPONDENCE. ON THE PRESENT POSITION OF OUR WEST INDIA COLONIES, AND THE BEST MEANS OF RESTORING THEIR PROSPERITY LETTER 111 TO THE EDITOR OF THE LIVERPOOL STANDARD In our two previous letters we endeavoured to draw atten tion to the very critical situation of the West Indies, at present " in the throes of a mighty moral convulsion" ; to show the extreme jeopardy in which their prosperity—and, through that, the grand experiment of partial, and splendid hopes of general emancipation—now stands ; we attempted to trace the causes that have led to the present unpromising aspect of West Indian affairs, and to suggest what we con sider the only real remedy for them, and collaterally for the evils which affect the negio race throughout the world. In our present communication we shall confine ourselves to the correction of what we b e li eve some general misconceptions in reference to the subject, and to a brief summary of the leading points on which we have touched in the course of thse observations. The physical capabilities of the West Indies are, we think, very generally underrated. An impression is abroad that their extent arid resources are limited to a few small, but fruitful islands; whereas the colony of British Guiana alone contains 100,000 square miles of the richest alluvial soil, capable of supporting 40,000,000 of human beings—without mentioning the fertile islands of Jamaica, Trinidad, &c. ; all of which, if properly supplied with the labour which the surplus population of other tropical countries can with bene fit to themselves so well afford them, are capable not only of rendering this country independent of the supplies of every specie: of slave-grown produce, but even of underselling, and consequently to a great degree supplanting, the slave-owner in the markets of the continental nations. In the recent discussion in parliament on the sugar-duty question, by the advocates for the reduction of duty on foreign sugars much stress was laid on the fact, that we continued to use without compunction all the other productions of slave labour, while we repudiated the idea of slave-grown sugar ; but although we be as yet necessarily dependent on the slave states for our cotton, tobacco, and other commodities, there is abun dant evidence to prove that our own colonies, with proper encouragement, would enable us to dispense with the staple product of the United States, and be in a condition to ex clude all slave-grown produce. Then, and not till then, will it be shown beyond the reach of ca'il, that our expenditure of I:20,000,000 has not been in vain, but that its happy fruits are commensurate with the noble and disinterested motives which prompted it. British Guiana, between the rivers Caurantyn and Pomeroon, possesses a sea-coast of 250 miles in extent, and, along the banks of those and the other prin cipal rivers, many extensive tracts, which, under the Dutch government, were in a high state of cotton cultivation, and which, though now covered with the luxuriant vegetation of the tropics, are still capable of being easily reclaimed, and of producing as much of the finer descriptions of cotton as would, along with the coarser qualities of India now rapidly increasing in extent and quality, render us independent of even the United States in the production of this indispensa ble article. The rise of that country itself, almost unprecedented in the history of the world, is a striking instance of the mighty effects of emigration on an extensive scale, the surplus ac cruing to her from that source alone having of late been from 40,000 to 50,000 a-year. while England has been actu ally passing laws to prevent free immigration into her own splendid colonies. But not only with labourers, but also with the sinews of industry—with capital—has she been year after year with unsparing hand supplying the constantly increasing demand of that insatiable country, to such a de gree that by its operation she has frequently paralysed her own commerce and manufactures ; while not one shilling can be raised on the security of any British colony, for want of confidence in the policy which she continues to pursue towards them in none so strikingly apparent as those of the West Indies. There are not finer countries in the world for the investment of capital than Guiana, Trinidad, Jamaica, or Grenada ; but not a bond of either of these colonies would command a farthing on the stock exchange : while Mexico, Colombia, Peru, Chili, and Brazils have been able to draw vast sums from this country, to carry on their internal improvements and develop their resources. Even the insignificant state of New Grenada, - adjoining to British Guiana, but not near so valuable, nor so productive, nor so extensive, has succeeded in extracting eleven or twelve millions of money from this country for mining and other purposes. From these startling facts we must surely arrive at the conviction, that " there is some thing rotten in the state of Denmark"—that our West Indian Colonies at least have not felt the influence of that fostering care which can alone render them productive dependencies of our empire. Is there in the history of nations any stronger proof of er roneous policy than may be decuced from the following brief summary of our efforts, and their results, in the great cause of negro emancipation and enlightenment.? Since the year 1808, when our crusade against the slave trade commenced, we have expended 40 millions of money in trying to put a stop to it—with this result, that its victims have increased three fold, and its horrors been stained with a ten-fold deeper dye: we have paid 20 millions, and jeopardised 100 millions more of British capital invested in buildings, machinery, stock, stores, and cultivation, in order to accomplish free labour — with this result, that these colonies are going fast to decay, our free labour experiment is likely to prove a failure, and our colonists, to escape utter ruin, must remove with what they can save of their capital to other countries, and turn slave-owners, to furnish the commodities which they have found themselves unable to produce under British govern ment. Nor is this all ; the consequences will not be confined to this country nor to those who own its sway, for if our grand experiment fails, it will be a beacon for other nations to avoid, and put the question of general emancipation throughout the world entirely beyond the reach of probability. Such are the results—and they are not a whit too highly coloured—to which the present course of events is leading us. Such are the fatal results which must ensue if the experiment of free labour be unsuccessful ; and yet effects quite as cheering as these are disastrous, would as infallibly be produced by carrying out the line of operations which we have endeavoured to trace. We cannot better conclude our observations on this sub ject which have already run to unexpected length, than in the words of an eloquent and powerful writer, to whom we have already been more than once indebted :—' ly vigorously pursuing these measures, England would establish a great and free community of the negro blood—would iii!'ord the first example of negro civilization—would cause the current of the destiny of the race to flow for the first time in the channel of improvement. She would sap the foundations of negro slavery in America, which not only resists all her efforts to overturn it by storm, but seems to gain strength from every violent assault upon it. She would put down the African slave trade by ruining it. She would open to the African, suffering in his own land, the way to peace, to wealth, to mental culture, to moral advancement, to the dignity of free dom and knowledge. She would point to her negro empire in the west, and say to the nations which yet cling to negro slavery :—behold the complete success of my generous policy ! And if her own necessities gave importance to less noble con siderations, she might still congratulate herself on a vast ex tension of her colonial markets. " What a contrast with the present state of the West In dies, and with the actual prospects of the negro race every- where ! And yet the happier picture might be realised by a tithe of the pains that is bestowed on schemes in relation to this subject, which result one after the other in conspicuous failure." M. SIR JOSHUA WALMSLEY, LATE MAYOR, FU TURE REPRESENTATIVE OF LIVERPOOL. TO THE EDITOR OF THE LIVERPOOL STANDARD. Sta,—l beg respectfully to state my candid opinion of the qualifications of the above-named gentleman for the honour of representing this town in parliament. Though an humble individual, I have not the less interests and opinions conformable ; and, indeed, we hear in writing and in speeches of so many like myself, that we may almost be said to be the majority at least of those who seek to be conspicuous as Sir Joshua does, and if he is not a humble in dividual now, it is, I think, certain that he would speedily become so if returned to parliament : therefore, I and such as I are especially bound to promote Lis interest by every means in our power. I shall beg, then, to advance, in the first place, that I think, nay am almost confident, that Sir Joshua Walmsley, Knt., is between forty and fifty years of age ; and although men are certainly returned to parliament without much considera tion of their age, yet when we can ascertain it with correct ness, it is always an argument more or less to the advantage of a gentleman 'a pretensions. We get the individuality of the man more distinctly before us, and this will not be neg lected by a• judicious advocate, at least, until he can find something more to the purpose to say. Sir Joshua Walmsley, Knt., between forty and fifty years of age, has doubtless opinions ; I hope and trust he has. It is a great point when we can get men with opinions to repre sent us. I do not mean right opinions, neither do I mean wrong opinions. I mean opinions neither right nor wrong, like her Majesty's ministers. We saw, last year, the head of her Majesty's government in the House of Lords pronounce it madness to entertain such an alteration of the corn-laws, as, this year, the representative of the same government, in the other house, declares to be the sole measure that can save the country, &c., &c. It is plain, therefore, that for right use at present a man's opinions should be of this sort — that is to say, neither right nor wrong. If I am asked how I know that Sir Joshua Walmsley': opinions are neither right nor wrong, I answer that indeed I do not know anything at all upon the subject, nor do I know whether he himself knows more than I do, though he may probably guess ; but I submit that it is reasonable to conjec ture or infer upon a matter of so much importance, that a man of a liberal way of thinking (that I think is Sir Joshua's profession—his trade is that of a corn-factor) will entertain, or does intend to entertain, or believes that he does entertain, opinions conformable to the spirit of liberality, which, the wider it extends itself, the less distinction it sees between one thing and another, as we see admirably illustrated in the whole conduct of the present government, the great government of liberality, par excellence. On the important questions of a religious or politico-reli gious kind which now occupy so much attention, I am fear ful, as a sincere friend of Sir Joshua Walmsley, to say any ' thing that may commit him. The earnestness of an enthu siastic friend may sometimes approach the verge of indiscre tion. Unquestionably he will often have had opportunity and inducement to turn these subjects in his mind at his stand in the Corn-market. The place is suggestive of such contemplation, for in one great topic of a religio-political sort, the greatest, or the one oltenest before the public and parliament—that, I mean, perpetually ag it ate d b y M r. O'Connell—the question is clearly oue of bread to him. As to religion considered otherwise than in its relation to politics, I think all m ust be satisfied w ith Sir Joshua. I myself witnessed his attendance once at church, after his election as mayor. Although all ey es were on him, lam not aware he was detected in the least indecorum—not even that the most common of dropping an eyelid, b u t was as wide awake as he is sure to be found to every turn of the averages. As a townsman all will admit that his pretensions are pe culiar. To have what we commonly call a standi ng i n t h e place, is one of the first things we seem to require in a can didate for our votes from among ourselves. lie has two — one literal, mechanical, wooden, which need only be men tioned ; the other a mo ral or social standing. To have been long known and talked of by all, from the highest to the lowest, until the very n ame, as of Bolton, Gladstone, Ros coe, Leyland, &c., & e .,_ becomes familiar to us as ou r own household words—this is what we mean when we speak of standing in the social sense. In this sense, who can claim our suffrages more confidently than this present head of a family so long highly established in Liverpool, the junior of the firm of Booth and Walmsley, cnrn.rnerchants, nearly opposite the Corn Exchange, Brunswick -street ! I venture to assert, without fear of contradiction, that there is not an individual who frequents the Corn-market regularly for the of business, w ho does not know Si r J os h ua Walms so distinguished b y sta tion, ley when he sees him. Such. men, the town in its honour or it s in tion, are sure to hav e .had opportunities, prove and to ha ve im proved them, of benefit in g terests, and to have laid the inhabitants u n d er l ast i ng obli gations by such service s. It i s not otherwise in the instance before us. I myself heard a person of credit say, on the authority of others, that Sir Joshua Walmsley, then Joshua Walmsley, Esquire, being mayor, would, for the honour of the town, have consented to be rnadea baronet in place of a simple knight; and when he was . plain Joshua Walmaley of Brunswick-street, before the dignities and desires of these days, which be so worthily wears , . came upon him, he was man for churchwarden. deemed ' by many clear - judging persons, no way partial to Lim, to be a very likely He s p ea k s w ith muck propri e t y. No loge wke Lap beard bite, as I have, w ith that ozpressrve L nlallner, like the ma r k e d elsaraetyr of ilia Onstrialie give ll, gt l 4 irthaargr iv in 'riff for a tea-kettle, which no ironmonger of the least apprehen sion could possibly mistake for an order for smoothing irons, —no one, I say, could fail (thinking of his present preten sions) to imagine - the impression. he would make on the House of Commons. His qualities, in short, will bear the minutest examina tion, for they lie in a nutshell ; and 1 shall conclude this imperfect eulogy in words which have been used on a less worthy occasion. If Sir Joshua Walmsley, Knight, be re turned to parliament a representative for Liverpool, it will be an event the recollection or tradition of which will gladden men's memories when the names of Canning and Huskisson are forgotten ;—not till then. I am, sir, your obedient servant, Liverpool, Lit June, 1841. NOGO TO EDWARD RUSHTON, ESQ., STIPENDIARY MAGISTRATE. Workhouse, June 3d, 1841. conceive that no apology is demanded from me in addressing you thus publicly on the recent cause brought under your judical cognizance from this establishment, so that I shall at once enter upon the subject. I say, then, that your decision was extraordinary, and that the treatment I received on that occasion at your hands was most uncour trona. What are the facts of the case? An abandoned female is brought before the magistrate, charged with an attempt at committing suicide by drowning, and it being proved that she has been leading a dissolute life, the bench very humanely recommended her for admission into the Penitentiary, where, for want of room, she could not at pre sent be received, but was sent by the matron of that institu tion to this establishment as a mere temporary asylum. Having remained here three days, and where every possible care was taken by the governor for her comfort, she became impatient of controul, and in order to effect her liberation, broke the window of the apartment where she was fixed ; for this offence she was sent to Bridewell, and subsequently brought before you. Then, and for the first time, it appears that a certificate of insanity had been lodged with you against her. Yet, on the very face of that document, she is recom mended to the Penitentiary. How is this? Is the Peniten tiary converted into a lunatic asylum ? Now, sir, with regard to the treatment which I, as a professional man, received from you, I have just cause.to complain. A certifi cate of sanity in this case was furnished by me, and treated by you as a worthless document, because you held a previous one of " temporary insanity." lam not pinned to the sleeve of any professional man, but I will just state, that one of the honorary physicians of this institution saw the case, and that his opinion coincided with my own. I was, however, prevented in a court of justice from giving evidence on the case, and affording information derived from most authentic sources as to the girl's previous character, which would have disabused your mind, and have completely altered the entire feature of the whole affair. But no; the case was summarily and angrily dismissed, with a severe and, to my mind, an unmerited reprimand to the officer whom the governor de puted to conduct this unpleasant affair. Thus, on an exparte statement, a decision is arrived at. and the salutary maxim, "Audi alteram partem," treated as a dead letter.—l am, Sir, your obedient servant, BRERETON NIGHTINGALL, For eighteen years Surgeon to this Institution, and Member of the Royal College of Surgeons, London. THE MINISTRY To THE LANDOWNERS AND LABOURING PEOPLE OF ENGLAND, AND TO ALL CLASSES OF THE OPERA TIVE TRADES PEOFLE WHO ARE DESIROUS OF PRO TECTING THEIR PRESENT RATES OF WAGES, AND DEFENDING THEMSELVES FROM THE FURTHER INVASION OP THEIR RIGHTS AS A BODY, AS IN DIVIDUALS, AND AS A NATION. MY FRIENDS, — There is no time to be lost in coming to a final conclusion on the great and important point now under discussion in the Commons, and which is introduced for the destruction of your joint and separate interests as a people, as a class or classes, and finally as a nation ; but the power avert to the ruin which is to attend these proceedings lies in your own hands. We have two contending parties, the Conservatives and the Destructives. For th 3 Conserva tives I will say as little as I possibly can ; a comparison of the two parties will show directly who are the protectors of the people's rights and who are the assailants. If the O'Con nell party ever intended any thing for our general good, why would they at first setting out provide, on such an extensive scale, workhouses for the people, such a plan of relief amongst a then independent, Protestant population ? They must have premeditated a general ruin, which would be a cause for the existence of such prisons; they must have intended a certain line of policy which would have the effect of a general de crease of our business and our prosperity. The falling state of the country is a proof of it. And as for the general bene fits which we were promised from a Whig-Radical and O'Connell alministration, we see the nature of these benefits clearer when we come to compare them with the Conserva tive administration ; we see the Conservatives have done their duty to their country, whilst the Radicals have played the game so well, that we find a great national deficiency which we must all contribute to, until made good. Now, as there are two sects of people, independent of Papists, who have power to remedy these evils and prevent this sort of O'Connell sport, I would request the attention of both to those two parties, the Conservatives of England and the Radicals. These two sorts are people who want political qualification in a member of parliament without any refer ence to religious principles; even such a man as this cannot find any thing in the Whig-Radical to merit his support, but directly the reverse; and the man who would require both these virtues amongst the Whig-Radical party, they are found to be enemies to the country and enemies to our church ; and no one can give en instance of any thing under colour of our good proposed by them until the end of many years ruin on the country when they are called to resign, and then they will give us cheap bread and cheap sugar. The cheap bread being accompanied with the destruction of the highest interests of Englishmen, and if this system should operate for the reduction of rents of land and houses, and the reduction of employment, how does Lord Melbourne intend to meet another and a new kind of deficiency which must take place in the financial department by means of the said reduction of the value of property in general ? This must be considered as another great evil arising out of the great evil of corn-law repeal, as the poor-law dungeons are a great evil, made necessary to remedy the evil of the ruin which was anticipated previous to the building of the workhouses for the people, and all these evils spring from the same source, Whig-Radical administiation. But the Radical O'Connell party cannot be for the good of Englishmen— quite impossible. See his words to the inhabitants of Dublin several years ago : We will have no police here ; we will raise the Irish volunteers, who will do the duty of the national guards; we will have no English fellows to govern us—we will govern our own country, and defend it against the com mon enemy. Will you not all be volunteers? Voices : "we will, we will." We will drive the Sasenach (the Englishman or Protestant) from our land ; we will not have it defiled by such reptiles ! These are every one identical words used by O'Connell himself to the people of Dublin. And he was as good as his word ; he did raise an Irish volunteer move ment, to the amount of some hundreds of thousands, whose operations made it dangerous to the lives of Protestants to remain in the country, and it required no small degree of power, on the part of the English government, to suppress them. But does he come over to Englishmen with such language? No; he uses very different weapons in his war fare from those used against us at Wexford in 1798, at Derry, or at the Boyne. He finds it won't do here, and therefore he comes to you with sweet words, "cheap bread and sugar." If O'Connell thinks cheap bread a good thing, let the Irish have cheap bread for a trial, but without any benefit from our English markets, except as usual. Let the Irish have foreign corn cheap until their ports are full, and see how they will take it; and if it is not for their benefit, it cannot be for yours. But I will advocate cheap bread if it is all English or Irish produce, giving the reward for labour to our own men, and keeping the workhouses empty. And any man that wants further proof of Whig-Radical treachery, let him look at the system of religion they advocate—popery, tran substantiation, purgatory, idolatry and cheap remission of sins, paid for according to our means, their priests professing to absolve all sinners without any ceremony but the cash. As to transubstantiation, our Saviour has said, " Verily I ray unto you, ye shall not see me hence," &c. They say we can see him and handle him every day. The other absurdi ties of their church will appear on comparison with the Scriptures. And because we are protesters against these innovations on God's church, we lose the name of Catholic, which Rome retains. The name of Catholic is strong enough to keep the unlearned man stedfast in their superstitious belief. Look at their i .stitutions, the nunneries. No man of principle would vote for the Whigs, who extort an income from our pocket to support such places, whose burden on the people could not be endured in a popish country, Spain, as appears by the revolt which scattered the popish inquisi tion courts. In fact, the world may laugh at Englishmen if they reject their own friends, and vote for those who are bound in allegiance to a foreign enemy, the Pope, whose war is carried into our very camp. Therefore, the Whig-Radical ministry being found to betray the interests of every man, both as regards politics and religion, and both separately and conjointly, and the English Conservatives found the friends of the people, and of the nation generally ; and as regards both politics and religion, any man who will not reject the former and support the latter, must be declared an enemy to his country, to himself, his family, and above all, to his God.—l remain, dear Sir, A DEFENDER OF THE CHURCH AND THRONE OF ENGLAND. Prescot, 31st May, 1841. The Cheshire Cavalry, GOO strong, under the command of Colonel Egerton, are expected to arrive in this town to morrow, for permanent duty, GRAND WRESTLING MATCH AT TOXTETII.PARK.—we are obliged to postpone our account of these interesting sports until Tuesday. COVZNT-GARDEN MARKET, SATURDAY.—Every week adds to the profuseness of the supply of every description of summer fruits and vegetables,which are also much improved in quality, from the continuance of fine and genial weather. Trade has also been brisk during the week, and prices have been moderate. Every description of forced fruit is of very good quality—Providence, Emrille, and Queen pine apples being from 6s. to 10s. per lb ; hot-house grapes 4s. to 8. En glish melons ss. to 10s. each ; and peachettes and nectarines 20s. to 30s. per dozen; strawberries continue abundant, and there have been some in the market during the week grown in the open air. Cherries are plentiful at ss. to 12s. per lb., and are now to be seen in many of the shops. Green gooseberries were in abundant supply, at 4s. per sieve, although this fruit has been very much affected by the blight ; green currant , were 3s. per half sieve ; and apri cots 6d. per quart. Peas from Kent, were plentiful and of good quality, at 4s. to ss. per currant sieve, and shelled 3s. per quart. The supply this season promises to be very abundant. There was a continued good supply of asparagus at 3a. to ss. per bundle ; and cauliflowers were very good at 2s. to 6s. per dozen. Forced French beans were 2s. per hundred ; and new frame potatoes, 6d. to Is. per lb. ; tur nips were 4s. to 6s. per dozen bunches ; cos lettuces, 9d. to Is. 6d. per score; onions, ss. per sieve; spinach, 9d per sieve ; cabbages, 9d. to Is. per dozen ; and new carrots, Bd. per bunch. The great variety of flowers now makes the garden a rich and pleasing parade, and amongst the most in teresting new plants were some kalmais azalias, dianthuses, acacias saponarias, MELANCHOLY AND FATAL ACCIDENT.—On Saturday last, Charles Foster, Esq., fourth son of Baron Foster, was to have accompanied the baron and family from their resi dence, Rathescar, in the county Louth, to Dublin, but as he was to proceed on horseback, and the day being extremely wet, he deferred his journey till the following Monday. In the course of the morning of that day, he and Mr. Arthur Foster, went out in a small boat, on the lake of Collon, in the domain of Lord Ferrard. They had been but a short time on the water when, owing, it is supposed, to some in advertence in rowing, the boat upset, and both parties were precipitated in twenty feet of water. A gamekeeper of Lord Ferrard's, with Mr. Delapp, son-in-law of that noble man, happened to be on the bank of the lake at the time, and witnessed the melancholy accident. Mr. Delapp, an excel lent s-vimmer, instantly plunged into the water, and quickly reached the fatal spot, where he caught a glimpse of Mr. Arthur Foster in the act of disappearing beneath the surface after R short but severs struggle for life. He succeeded in catching hold of him, and rescuing him, in a state of the ut most exhaustion, and almost total insensibility, from his perilous situation, but his ill-fated companion had sunk into a watery tomb. Mr. Delapp dived repeatedly, to try at least to recover the body, but without success ; and although ivory possible exertion was made for dm same purpose down to Area o'oloek in ties aftornemiat, Ike remains woes not elis eoronwl.—OuSan Stakewien. SECOND EDITION. Standard-office, half-past Linen o' Clock CHINA, INDIA, AND EGYPT (From a Second Edition of the London Times of Yesterday, half-yast One o'clock, p.m.) We have received, by extraordinary exprese, the details of the intelligence of which we were enabled to lay the princi pal points before the public in an early second edition o• Tuesday last. Our despatches are dated from China, April 1; from Bom bay, May I ; from Alexandria, May 22 ; from Malta, May 26. Our express from China and India brings most important intelligence. The last dates are, from Macao the Ist of April, Singapore, the 10th, and Calcutta the 22d ; Bombay the Ist of May, and Alexandria the 22d. The negotiations between the British and Chinese Com missioners had been broken off a few days after the date of the last despatch (February 13,) and hostilities had recom menced which ended in the capture of all the Bogue Forts (30 in number, mounting 800 guns), the destruction of all the defences and batteries up to the walls of Canton, " tak ing, sinking, burning, or dispersing the enemy's flotilla," in the words of Commodore Sir J. J. Gordon Bremer, who conducted the operations, and on the 18th March " hoisted the Union Jack on the walls of the British Factory." This intelligence was contained in two despatches from Macao to Calcutta, the first by the Waterwitch on the 28th of February, containing the explanation of these extraordi nary and eventful proceedings. Keshen, the Imperial Corn missioner, had delayed the execution of the treaty concluded with Captain Elliot to obtain the Emperor's confirmation. Instead of approving, the Emperor has rejected the treaty, and issued four edicts breathing scorn and defiance of the English, delivering Keshen over to the Board of Punishment (though without depriving him of his command), divesting the Admiral Kwan Teenpie of his button, sending flying orders for the march of 8,000 of his best troops to defend Canton, " to subdue and recover the places on the coast," " to exterminate and drive out the English," " for it is ab solutely necessary that the rebellious foreigners must give up their heads, which, with the prisoners, are to be sent to Pekin in cages to undergo the last penalty of the law." The fourth edict clearly betrays the deceptive policy pursued by the Chinese : viz., " To-day, the 11th of February, Keshen has reported that the English foreigners have usurped pos session of the batteries, and it is difficult to defend and keep the province. He further reports in a supplementary docu ment, in which he with intense eartnestness begs that favour may he bestowed on the English," &c. "On looking at the report, I am altogether filled with indignation and grief. The said great minister, because of the importance of the city of Canton and its granaries of rice, and also because the inhabitants are exceedingly numerous, because appre hensive that commotion' would ensue, has made this a cause for temporary expedients, and deceptively acceded to the requests (of the English), and for the present they have not been surrounded or exterminated." This Imperial Edict continues—" Hasten, then, your consultations and schemes, attack and exterminate," &c. Before these hostile edicts had appeared, Captain Elliot, confiding in the good faith of Keeshan, had sent orders to General Burrell to restore the island of Chusan to the Chi nese, and to return with the Bengal Volunteers to Calcutta. This order had been promptly obeyed. Chusan had been evacuated on the 25th of February. Three vessels, with the volunteers on board, had reached Singapore on the 16th of March, but it was expected they would be ordered back to I►lacao. The others had fortunately put into Hong-Kong for water, and were detained there. Of the 1,700 European troops belonging to the 26th and 49th regiments which landed in Chusan in high health in July last, 190 only were left fit for duty. The British imprisoned by the Chinese at Ningp• had been liberated upon the evacuation of Chusan. An ar rangement had been made by the friends of Col. Anstruther to facilitate his escape, but he refused to avail himself of it, as he might thereby have exposed his friends in captivity to greater hardships. Captain Elliott, in !pursuance of an ar rangement with Keshen. sent on the 14th of February the iron steamer Nemesis up the river with a draught of a treaty respecting the " details which remained matter for negotia tion," under orders to wait till the 18th. The Nemesis found the river obstructed by barriers, large batteries erect ing on shore and on the central island, and herself fired on by the Bogue forts while yet two leagues off. She therefore returned at once to Macao, where Capt. Elliot, at length com prehending Keshen's duplicity and the Emperor's inveterate hostility, prepared to recommence hostilities. He set sail on 20th February up the river ; on the 24th Commodore Bremer attacked and destroyed the fieldworks, disabling 80 guns they mounted ; on the 25th and 26th he attacked and captured three adjoining Bogue forts without losing a single man, killing about 260 Chinese, and taking 1,300 prisoners, who were subsequently liberated at the opposite side of the river. The whole British force was on the 28th of February pro ceeding to attack Canton, at which date the \Vaterwitch was despatched from Macao express with the news to Calcutta. Vessels had also been sent to atop the passing transports from Chusan, and recall those arrived at Singapore. The supreme Government of India was making every exertion to send more troops to China. The above intelligence was de spatched from Calcutta by express overland to Bombe), but only arrived three hours after the departure of the steamer for Suez on the Ist of April. It was therefore necessarily detained at Bombay till the 27th of April, when the steamer sailed for Suez with Sir James Carnac. The primary error and cause of delay in the transmission of this and the previous Chinese despatches has been attributed to the opinion expressed by Captain Elliot when, on the 27th January, he despatched the Enterprise steamer to Cal cutta, " that she might stop there, as all was settled in China" ! He had at the same time ordered his family to join him, in the conviction that he had re-established peace. By the arrival of the Queen steamer at Calcutta, on the 20th April, with Commodore Bremer himself on board, we learn the continued successful result of the operations of the British squadron while ascending the Canton river, subse quent to the 28th of February, capturing forts, destroying barriers, and blowing up junks, till the final success at Can ton on the 18th of March. The reports of Commodore Bremer to Lord Auckland contain ample details of the daily and almost hourly operations of the British squadron. The casualties on its side are stated to be inconsiderable ; 25 men and 1 lieutenant killed, and 26 men wounded. All the factories at Canton were occupied by the British troops. Captain Elliott had, on the 20th of March, issued a " cir cular to her Majesty's subjects," announcing that a suspen sion of hostilities had been agreed on between the Imperial Commissioner Yang and himself, " that the trade of the port of Canton is open, and that British and other foreign merchants who may see fit to proceed there for the purpose of lawful commerce shall be duly protected. No bond will be required by the provincial governor, but there will be no objection on the part of the British authorities to the like liabilities for the introduction of prohibited merchandise, or for smuggling duly proved, which would follow such offences in England, detention of person, or penal consequences of all kinds excepted." The circular winds up thus :—" No tice is hereby given, that British and foreign merchant vessels have permission to proceed to Whampoa ; all conse quences arising from the possible and sudden resumption of hostilities of course remaining at the risk of the parties." Subsequently another violent proclamation had been issued by the Emperor. The notices posted by the Canton autho rities on the walls to announce the re-opening of trade had been torn down, all communication with the English or dered to be cut off, and Keshin had been sent a prisoner to Pekin by order of the Emperor. The Bengal Hurkuru says, " We have heard upon good author ity that the Bengal Volunteers, who had been detained at Singapore, have declared their unwillingness to return to China, and threatened a general mutiny if an attempt were made to compel them." The 55th European Regiment bad been embarked at Cal- cutta as a reinforcement for the troops at Canton. The island of Hongkong had been evacuated by orders of Captain Elliott, on his discovery that Keshin's treaty was merely a deception The Auckland steamer left Bombay on the 27th April with Sir J. R. Carnac, Bart. and family on board, en route for Egypt and England Sir James has resigned the governor ship of that presidency on account of his health, being threatened with paralysis. His departure had elicited feel ings of regret and sympathy amongst the natives of Bombay, and a subscription of 36,000 rupees had already been made for the purpose of presenting him with a piece of plate—of having a scholarship established in his name in the medical college—and of having his bust taken after his arrival in London. He landed with his lady and family at Suez on the 15th of May, and proceeded thence by Cairo to Alexandria, where they arrived on the 21st ult., and set sail in the Orien tal on the 22d. Captain Harris, of the Engineers, also sailed in the Auckland steamer from Bombay, and was landed at Aden, to proceed on a mission into Abyssinia. The Berenice, which left Bombay on the Ist of May, con veyed the important despatch of the arrival of the victorious British squadron at Canton, and all its successes since Feb. 28. This mail arrived at Alexandria at midnight on the 21st of May, and the Oriental sailed therewith next morning. An university at Madras has been opened by Lord Elphin stone, who continues to retain the government of that Pre- sidency three years longer. The Supreme Government had opened a new loan at rt per cent., a circumstance which had caused much speculation throughout India. The old loans of .I per cent. have become depreciated, and would evidently have not been adequate to an emergency such as was contemplated in reference to new operaticns at Herat. The Bombay army is marching to wards Quetta and Candahar. Major Todd had arrived safely at Gorisk. Generals Brooks and Nott, each at the head of 6000 men, were waiting for further orders. The rumoured advance of the Persians on Herat is now found to he somewhat premature. All was quiet in Nepaul and Scinde. The Punjaub confirmed in a very disturbed state. The murder of Colonel Montoro,:.Captain, Fowkes and Pay mastcr Ford, by their own sheik troops, pear Pieba war, had been confirmed. The sains mutinoup of soldiers have also murdered 119 of their owe native officers. General Lumley, with his troops, were pre pared to cross the Sutledge at Feaoropore as soon as it might be necessary ; but it appeared that no decisive course had been taken. British interference had not yet been en- tered on within the Punjaub, meanwhile it had become a prey to the ravages:of Jawless;troops amounting to 80,000 men. The Hill tribes in the Cutchee were :threatening to avenge their recent defeats. Nusseer Khan had been induced by Colonel Stacey, to enter into arrangements, and to proceed with him to Quetta, to meet :Slr. Bell, and ratify the treaty. Dost Mahommed was at Meerut on the 28th of March, and left it for Calcutta next day. Calcutta and Cuttack had 'been suffering severely from cholera; the deaths were for some days up to the 9th of April, 50 in the former city alone, not counting its populous suburbs. The Rev. Mr. Backhouse, chaplain of Agra, had been carried off by it. The 32d Regiment of Native In fantry was attacked by it on the Bth of March, between Dacca and Dinapore, and 100 sepoys, about an equal number of boatmen and followers carried off in 11 days. The great discussion in Bombay respecting the contempt of the Supreme Court, committed by two sets of merchants, has ended by the judges allowing the rules to be discharged against those proprietors. A great sensation was caused thereby, and a subscription of £3OO collected to present a piece of plate to the barrister who had pleaded on their be half. The whole of the bar has condemned his conduct, and the public has allowed the matter to drop into oblivion. The punsters say that as ministers find. court plaster will not make them stick in their places any longer, they are now going to try Corn plaster. HEREFORD CATHEDRAL.—In carrying on the improve ments and restoration, which have been some time on foot in Hereford Cathedral, the architect has just discovered that the tower, with its immense superincumbent weight, is in imminent danger of falling, and crushing the mighty fabric in one general ruin. Large fissures in the masonry, in some places two feet deep and across the solid stones themselves, are apparent ; and it is a most providential circumstance that the discovery has been made previously to any further pres sure upon the failing parts by the alterations in progress, which, it is said, must have occasioned the total destruction of the magnificent tower, together with the choir, the tran septa, and the eastern portion of the nave. When, or under what circumstances, so awful a catastrophe would have oc curred, of course not even those best acquainted with the subject could pretend to decide. THE ORIGIN OF SUNDAY SCHOOLS.—Whatever be the issue of the question, so far as Mr. Stock and Mr. Baikal' are concerned, there is a town whi c h can slow that a Sunday school was established in it full fourteen years prior to the formation of the shoo' or schools at Gloucester. In the year 1769 a Sunday school was commenced by Miss Ball, at High Wycombe. She was a lady of great piety, and of rather nn common earnestness in doing good. Her custom was to assemble as many as thirty or forty children on Sunday morning, to hear them read the scriptures and repeat the catechism and the collect, preparatory to going to church. A place is still pointed out in the remarkably fine church of High Wycombe, as having been occupied by the Sunday scholars of Miss Ball. An old servant, who when young was my nurse, was one of those scholars, and still lives, in conjunction with sundry individuals, to bear testimony to the facts which I have stated. In a " Memoir of Miss Hannah Bali," recently " revised by John Parker, Gent., and published by Mason, 14, City-road," it is further stated that " Miss Ball continued this school for many years; and also met the children every Mon Jay, to instruct therm in the principles of Christianity . —Rer.

THE WAY TO GET ON IN THE WORLD.—TO get on in this world, you must be content to be always stopping where you are ; to advance, you must be stationary ; to get up, yen must keep down ; following riches is like following wild geese, and you must crawl after both on your belly, the mi nute you pop up your head, off they go whistling down the wind, and you see no more of them ; if you have not the art of sticking by nature, Toll must acquire it by art; put a cou ple of pounds of birdlime upon your office stool, and alt upon it ; get a chain round your 1-g, and tie yourself to your counter like a pair of shop scissors ; nail yourself up against the wall of your place of business, like a weasel on a barn door, or the sign of the spread eagle ; or what will do beat of all, marry an honest poor girl without a penny, and my life for yours, if you do n't do business I Never mind what your relations say about genius, talent, learning, pushing, enterprise, and such stuff, when they come advising you for your good, stick up to them for the loan of a sovereign, and if ever you see them on your side of the street again, skiver me and welcome ; but to do any good, I tall you over and over again, you must be a sticker. You may get fat upon a rock, if you never quit your hold of it !—Blackwood. FATE OE THE APOSTLES.—St. Matthew is aepposed to have suffered martyrdom, or to have been slain with a sword, at a city in Ethiopia. St. Mark was dragged through the streets of Alexandria, in Egypt, until he expired. St Luke was hanged upon an olive tree, in Greece. St. John was put into a cauldron of boiling oil, at Rome, and escaped death. He afterwards died a natural death at Ephesus, in Asia. St. Peter was crucified at Rome with his head downwards, at kit own request, thinking himself unworthy to die in the Lame posture as his beloved Master. St. James the Great was beheaded at Jerusalem. St James the Less was throw* from a pinnacle or wing of the Temple, and then beaten to death with a fuller's club. St. Philip was hanged up against a pillar at Hierapolis, a city of Phrygia. St. Bartholomew was flayed alive by the command of a barbarous king. St. Andrew was bound to a cross, whence he preached to the people until he expired. St. Thomas was run through the body with a lance, at Coromandel, in the East 'lndies. St. Jude was shot to death with arrows. St. Simon was cruci fied in Persia. St. Matthias was first stoned, and then be headed. St. Barnabas was stoned to death by the Jews at Solonis. St. Paul was beheaded at Rome, by the tyrant Nero. HORRIBLE DEATH.—Pierre Bigot and Genevieve Pa, the former a locksmith and the latter a washerwoman, had cohabited together for the last two years, and lived in har mony, arising, alas ! from a certain congeniality of taste for idleness and strong liquors. Last Sunday, according to cus tom, they had spent the day at the different wine shops at La Caistille, and returned in the evening to their domicile in a state of intoxication. Soon after their entering their room, their neighbours heard loud talking and quarrelling between them, and soon after, on looking in at their window, ob served the woman lying motionless on the floor, and the man sitting beside her on a chair lighting his pipe. About half an hour afterwards, a strong smell and a quantity of smoke proceeded from the room, which was soen afterward• enveloped in flames. A message was immediately despatched to the nearest station for assistance, and the firemen, arriv ing promptly, broke open the door, when the first thing which presented itself was the body of the unfortunate woman, her clothes in a blaze, and a blue flame also proceed ing from her mouth and nostrils. Pigot was sitting tilers an unconcerned spectator of what was going on, and when interrogated as to the cause of the accident, confessed that he had intentionally set her clothes on fire, to cure her of her propensity to drunkenness ! The flames from her mouth and nose proceeded from her breath, which was so strongly impregnated with alcohol as to immediately become in a state of combustion. The heartless ruffian was immediately taken into custody. and committed to prison, to take his trial for the murder. The death of the woman must hays been instantaneous, as suffocation must have instantly en sued on the flame reaching her face.—Peris paper. SMOKELESS COMBUSTION OF COAL.—An invention rank ing wtih the most scientific and useful discoveries of the day, has lately been perfected by Charles Wye Williams, Esq., ef Liverpool, a principal director of the City of Dublin Stearn Packet Company, and the justly celebrated improver of the Shannon. Mr. Williams is the author of a work, "On the Combustion of Coals chemically considered," in which he has satisfactorily demonstrated the possibility of so com pletely consuming that fuel as to render the combustion smokeless. Everybody is convinced that smoke is a eerions evil in more ways than one, but few are aware that is also a waste of material. Smoke, in the main, is composed of un consumed particles dislodged from the body of the fire, for want of a correct adjustment of the supply of common air, the presence of which, in exactly required quantities, and of a proper temperature and quality, is necessary in order to secure perfect, that is totsl, combustion. Unless this cons bustion is perfect—that is to say, unless all the particles of fuel from which heat can be generated are consumed, some must escape, and what escapes is wasted in the shape of smoke. Although we are of opinion that no plan of warming rooms in houses is half so good (with some rare and very pe culiar exceptions) as that of the open fire-place in general use, there can be no doubt that for manufacturing and other pur poses, where the object sought is the produetion of the greatest possible amount of heat from a given quantity of coal, it is the worst. The means employed to heat water in boilers, and for similar purposes, are all open, more or less, to the objection of defective construction on this plan. Until the appearance of the "patent improved furnace" invented by Mr. Williams, science had done but little towards the establishment of prac tical means for economising coal to its utmost limit, by pointing out the way in which its combustion should be so effected on true chemical principles that the nuisance arising from smoke should be abolished, and the smoke itself turned to account. We have authority for stating that both these ends are secured by Mr. Williams' plan of furnace. In this furnace (we make use of the inventor's own words) the com plete combustion of coal, without the production of smoke, is effected by the peculiar mode in which atmospheric air is introduced to the combustible gases evolved from the coals, in strict conformity with the conditions required for the chemical union of these gases with the oxygen of the air. The great defect in ordinary furnaces consist in the admission of too much hair, and its introduction in an injudicious manner and in the wrong place. In effecting the combus tion of coal, with the view of producing the greatest heat, the conditions which demand attention are—The quantity of air required for the combustion of the gas ; the quantity required for the combustion of the carbon, or coked part of the coal, after the gas has been expelled ; the quality of the air so employed, particularly as regards the combustion of the gas ; the incorporation of the air and gas, and the time required for effecting the same; the mode in which the mixing or incorporation of the air and the gas may be best effected; and the place where the air may with the greatest effect be introduced. The mode in which the above objects and principles are reduced to practice in this patent furnace consist :-Ist. In separating the required supply of air into two distinct portions ; the one for the win bustion of the solid or carbonaceous matter resting on the bars : the other for the combustion of the gases or volatile portion at or beyond the bridge, 2d. Introducing the supply intended for the solid part of the coal, through the ash-pit, by such meads, or jets, as will distribute it uniformly along the entire under surface of the bars. 3d. Introducing the supply intended for the gases, by means of numerous small jets, so that each otom of air shall be enabled, immediately on its admission, to come into contact and be mingled with the due saturating portion of gas with which it can combine and enter into chemical union and combustion, thus avoiding the common mistake of allowing the required volume of air to enter through large apertures, by which the temperature is reduced before the admixture or diffusion ef the gases eau take place. 4th. Distributing such jets of air along the flame bed or flue, and diffusing the heat uniformly over a larger surface, experience having proved, that, where the ad mission of air is confined to any one place, a severe and unequal action of the flame is produced at such place, and the adjoining plates are apt to be overheated and bulged. sth.
