NEW SUBSCRIPTION ISSUE OF TEE REV. THOMAS SCOTT'S COMMENTARY ON THE HOLY BIBLE. 24, Paternoster-rote, London, March 1, ]SS2. WERTHEIM-and MACINTOSH, haying recently purchased the entire Copyright, Stereotype Plates, lingravings, , Lic., of the late I t ev. THOMAS SCOTT'S CONINIENTARY ON THE HOLY BIBLE, in Six Vols. 4to, (lately published by Messrs. Aeeley, Hetahard, and Nisbet,) would respectfully call attention to their intention of offering for a short time— THIS GREAT MODERN COMIIEN'EAftY ON THE HOLY SCAIPTURF..S; on terms far more adwantageous than Ihose to which any other work of a similar chaicter has hitherto approximated. To furnish even a brief enumeration of the various testimo nies which nt different yeriods have been accorded to the sur passing excellence of this invitlable Commentary, not only by the Clergy, but by Noocon *mist Ministers, would far exceed the limits of an ordinal:; nnouncement ; and as the value of this Edition (in Six Vol ..4t0.) is so widely kri3wn, they deem it unnecessary to do oec than direct especial attention to the highly important fq.el, that the whole of the Critical and Ex planatory Notes, Yith theTractical Reflections, and the other important parts s6l this work, underwent the Author's careful revision.; and that he was , engaged for about , T.EN YEARS in preparing an Edition " whidi should be the standard of the work as long as it might exist." This istthe Edition now offered to the public on tie subjoined terms; aud this is the only one that has, or can leave, the bene fit of these final Addi.ions and Emendations. The extent of these may the judged from the fact that upwards of FOUR HUNDREID PAGES on LErwEa-rREss WERE ADDED ; and as they consist chiefly of Critical Remarks, their importance to the Biblical student is at once apparent. _ _ _ . • The Pasr ACE to the entire Work contains an elabcrate and compendious view of the evidences that the Holy Sc:iptures, and every part of them, as they sum(' in the present version of the Bible, were given by inspiration of God. Prefixed to each Book, both in:the Old and New Testament, is an introduction or statement of its purport and intent ; and there are also copious Marginal References, with various Ta bles..and a Chrogological Index. To the above :has also been added a copious TOPICAL INDEX, which places the whole contents of the Work beeore the•gtudent ; amongst its other uses, will be found of ,es sential service:in tke selection of Subjects, or for the elucida tion of the.doctrinet, and statements of Holy Scripture. There are also FI,FFEEN MAPS of the best description, and SIXTY-VINE ILLUSTUATIONS Of Serif/HUT Incidents and Sce nery, which were engraved at an expesise of nearly Two THOUSALiCO POUNDS. The price at which .it was originally published was ErouT GUINEAS. This was subsequently reduced to SIX GUINEAS, and about two years sire it was offered by subscription at THREE GUINEAS. The whole of the copies so offered were quickly subscribed for, and numerous inquiries being still made for the Work by parties who were unable to embrace the former opportunity, or who have since become acquainted with its valueothe Proprie tors have determined upon opening —ONCE MaßE—another subscription List, on sim►lar terms,—namely, THREE GUINEAS PER COPY. _ . At this unprecedented low rate they guarantee to deliver a ,copy of this Work, COMPLETE IN ALL RESPECTS, new, on good .paper, and neatly bound in cloth, with all the Maps And En gravings. They can couddeutly affirm, that such a Work at so small a price is one quite without a parallel, and co u ld on l y now be o f f ered but by the combination of the greatest economy in production, and the issue of a large number by Subscription. *** IMMEDIATELY AFTER THIS SUBSCRIPTION LIST IS CLOSED, THE PRICE WILL BE RAISED; AS IT WILL BE ibl- PnCSIBLE TO SUPPLY THE BOOK IN THE ORDINARY WAY AT SO SMALL A PRICE. Persons desirous of availing themselves of this offer are re quested to transmit their names, before the 20th day of MAY, 1852, to WERTHEIM and MACINTOSH, 24, Paternoster-row, accompanied with the sum of TEN Sit ILLINos per copy, as part payment, and as a guarantee to the Proprietors that all copies will be taken up when thisSubscriPtion Edition is ready.

DOVE, Alanager. MR. BRAMLEY-MOORE'S ANNIHILATION OF MR. CARDWELL. MR. CARDWELL, like many other clever men, committed A MISTAKE, when he attempted, before his motley audience at the Amphitheatre, to over whelm so able and determined an opponent as Mr. BRAMLEY-MOORE with his garbled statistics. It went down for the time with such an audience; the thing was done in a flashy style; but it was a mistake, we repeat; and Mr. CARDWELL will acknowledge it, when he has before him the report of the splendid meeting held in our Concert-hall last night. After the triumphant exposure which he has provoked from Mr. BRAMLEY-MOORE of his trickery,his duplicity, and the shamelessness with which he avowed and gloried in having deceived the constituency of this town, in what position, we ask, is he now placed, in seeking once more to be re turned as their member ? Upon what portion of the constituency is his chief reliance ? Upon the Iris] Romanist faction. He stands before us the deser ter of every pledge, the betrayer of every interest which he was elected to defend and to uphold ; the bond slave of his Holiness the Pope, and of the Propaganda of Rome ! We wish him joy of his proud position; hut, if he wishes ever again to occupy a seat in the British House of Commons, it must be as a nominee of the Defence Society, for some Irish borough ; and! we should recommend him forthwith to cultivate for that purpose the friendship and patronage of his Reverence PAUL CULLEN. Mr. CARDWELL has no longer a chance of deceiving Liverpool. The report of the meeting will be found in our third page. A FEW WORDS TO THE WORKING CLASSES ON THE COMING STRUGGLE. THE argument most insisted upon by the Free trade party is the alleged prosperity of the working classes. Landowners and farmers, they are ready to admit, are suffering—a little. But the agricul tural labourer is growing fat and happy upon his cheap loaf. The merchant has been losing by his transactions of late ; the shipowner is all but a ruined man; the colonial proprietor has lost two thirds of his property ; and even the shopkeeper class, complain of diminished profits and ruinous competition. But the working classes—the men employed by these suffering parties—are said to be living in luxury. The manufacturer is the last class whose suffering a free-trader will admit. Even the manufacturer has complained of late, however, of declining profits, and diminished de mand for the products of his spindles and his looms. But, then, we are told triumphantly, that he has still kept on producing, and employing labour; and the weavers and mill operatives in every manufacturing town are therefore enjoying the very highest prosperity. If this were not so, it is asked by the London Times— " Why do you see street after street, nay, whole sub urbs, rise up as by magic from the green sward, from the stubble of last year's harvest, from the hill side, from the heathery skirts of the moor. under the very shade of the ancient oaks ? Why do you see cottages run up for la bouring men with a comfort and an elegance unknown to the last generation; with good drainage, and pure water, abundant and almost free ? Why are there flowering plants, and worked muslin blinds in all the windows, new furniture in every room, and the young families within well clothed, blooming, playful, and happy ?" Arcadian picture! pleasing emanation of the ima ginative genius of the painter! We, alas! who live in the vicinity of manufacturing towns, and are in the habit of seeing them en deshabille, would be accused of drawing too much upon the credulity of the public, if we asked them to believe in all these " flowering plants," and "worked muslin blinds," and " blooming (!), playful, and irappy"—factory children! We are prepared, however, to admit the exist ence of considerable prosperity amongst the ope rative classes in most of our manufacturing towns. Whilst employment is constant, and wages are kept up, these classes must be in a position to 'command more of the comforts of life. But where are the other prosperous working classes ? There are certainly none in Liverpool; and we know not where to find them. Are those connected with the building trades —masons, joiners, plasterers—well employed at present, or have they been at any time within the past five years.? Are the workers in iron—the smiths, founders, moulders, and ma chinists—well employed ? They are not; nor are our ship-carpenters, or any other large class of handicraftsmen. The ruder trades, and unskilled labourers, in this and other towns, are notoriously suffering from the pressure upon the market for employment of the dispossessed Irish and agricul tural labourers. There are thousands of able bodied men to be found every day in the streets of our large towns, :willing to undertake any menial job for the price of a meal; men who rise every morning from their wretched beds in overcrowded hovels, with no certainty before them as to where that meal is to come from ; and this class has in creased, and is still fearfully increasing. In the case of such men, the Freetrader may point to the , large loaf, and ask,—Howwould your condition be, if its size were diminished one-half-i And the appeal would very likely be successful; but it would be dishonest, because it left out of view the important question, by what agency were they reduced to their present condition of "precarious dependence upon chance for the privilege of being permitted to earn the price of that loaf. The same appeal might be successful, if made to the wretched slopworker and the poor sempstrees ; and it would be dishonest for the same reason. Bat turn to the case of the skilled labourer, the artisan class.. This class, if in constant employ ment, are assuredly reaping the benefit, at present, of the cheapness of food and clothing. We say at present; for they must not shut their eyes to the fact that, whilst every other class is called upon to make sacrifices, and the necessaries and com forts of life are greatly cheapened, the present rate of wages cannot be kept up. Nor is continuous employment at all likely to be preserved by them. The struggle has to come, and is coming fast, for cheaper labour; and in that struggle the employers will inevitably be the victors. Let our working classes take to their hearts the lesson, which has just [been read to them in the case of the recent contest between the masters and men engaged in the engineering trades. That contest was not one in which the question of wages was directly raised, but it was clearly involved in it; and the result has shown that, in these trades, the skill required in which is of the highest order, there is an. amount of competing labour.in the market sufficient to enable the employers ultimately to dictate their own terms both as to shop regulations and wages. Our working classes are surely intelligent enough to see that the classes above them, who are being im poverished in order to bring about cheapness in the necessaries and comforts of life; the landowner, who has to yield up a portion of his rental; the farmer, who has to toil for a diminished return; the shipowner, who has to submit to reduced freights ; and the shopkeeper, who is driven by competition to sell for reduced profits, will insist ng class ffering interests must We are not addrc those cl I sellishne And t asses of the dan politicians constitution of N rr lnndowr turists, her merchants, and her fast to the large loaf and th cheap pound a No such state of things as a beggared middle class, *and a well employ rid well pai( until , .

FORBES MACKEP ALN) THE MAYNOO H GRANT AN announcement of the course proposed to he pur sued by Mr. FORBES MACI ith regard to the Maynooth Grant, was n BOLD, at a meeting of the electors of West D by Mr. THOMAS )y which Ward, on Friday evening, the importance of has induced us to refer to it here, although it is re ported in another part of our paper. It has been urged by the "liberal" and popish party that, the grant to Maynooth being no longer passed annually, the opinion of Mr. MACKENZIE upon the subject was of little practical value, unless the Government, to which he belongs, was prepared to come forward and propose its repeal. Mr. MACKENZIE, how ever, we now learn, is quite unfettered by his col leagues upon this question, even assuming, what we have no authority for doing, that Lord DERBY is not disposed at present to move officially upon the question. Mr. BOLD assured the meeting that " Mr. FCRBES MACKENZIE, since his speech at the Amphitheatre, both by word of mouth and by letter, distinctly asserted that, if any motion for the repeal of the grant to Maynooth was brought for ward in Parliament, he should certainly support it." This is explicit and manly; and must satisfy the mind of every Protestant as to the soundness of their candidate upon this vital point. It proves, moreover, what is equally gratifying, that the head of the Government is not disposed to regard the pretensions of Romanism in this country, or in Ire land, as exempted from the control of the British Legislature. CONDITION OF FRANCE. AFTER the storms of revolution, the bitterness of contending parties and civil discord, the trickery of the coup d'e'tat and the rigours of military government, France has begun to enjoy a little temporary repose. The new bodies in the state are formally installed ; there is a Chamber of Senators and one of Deputies ; the PRESIDENT has laid down the " Dictatorship," as he very properly calls it; and the principal men in the state have taken the oath of allegiance to him ! Never was the old French motto so true as it has recently become, "Petat, c'est moi;" for everything is done by a decree of the individual. By a decree, laws are enacted or repealed ; by a decree, institutions are founded or abolished ; by a decree, personal liberty is taken or conferred ; by a decree, any class in the nation is elevated or depressed ; by a decree, men mustshaveor may wear beards. Talk of DION v SIUS of Sicily, or the sable King of Dahomey, after this; we will back Louis NAPOLEON for absolutism "against the field," as sportsmen say. It has been remarked of Frenchmen, that no people in Europe make laws so well, or obey them so badly ; but now they are freed from the trouble of legislation, and it remains only to be seen how they will obey these decrees, of which the spirit is sic volo sic jubeo. It is of importance to distinguish between the wisdom of the country in accepting this dictator ship, and the honesty of the individual in offering it. With the country it was a choice of evils ; and, in such a case, the less is always preferable to the greater. Those who object that tyranny is bad, should remember that anarchy is worse, and that the temperament of the people and the con dition of parties was such as to surprise us that matters are not even worse than we find them. But the acceptance of the uncontrolled rule of the PRESIDENT, for the avoidance of a greater evil, is no proof that the country is or can be satisfied with the present condition of affairs. In spite of the surveillance of police and the rule of soldiers, it will soon be found that a farther change is neces sary. A people proverbially jealous of liberty, and proud of their advanced position, real or pretended, will not quietly submit to look upon the press manacled, honourable men confiscated, and civil liberty a mockery : in short )roseribed, property if they must accept the sternness of military de potism, under the specious name of republican government, it is only that they bide their time. Like LOYOLA'S leg, which was badly set, the limb must be broken again before it can be put straight. By a chain of reasoning, THEMISTOCLES 'tvould have it that his little boy governed the world ; for he governed his mother, who acted on the warrior; and the latter controlled Athe and thence Europe and theknown world. In the case of the PRESIDES one link of a similar chain has been removed; for a certain lady who existed towards him in a rela tionship quite well known in France, has been pensioned off. There are various rumours as to the cause. According to some, his moral influence was gradually diminishing; according to (Allis, the Pope refused point blank to invest him with the imperial diadem, unless he either discarded her or "made an honest woman of her ;" while others allege that it is to smooth the way for a matri monial arrangement with a foreign princess. We will venture to judge more charitably, and say, with BLACKSTONE, "the law alts to virtue." lys ass a return Rumours are frequent from France itself, that the giddy elevation on which the PEE NT at I former does not claim to be eithe But both have power; both have governed by the strong _ _ rt of ( OF Al inq Era Ships, try of her newl We may expl Is, whe foreign tonnage, the entries i rect ind many yes 1 from DWELL the next 3 trig3s inwards at d 1851 re- GO ,artal 18,637 18,683 'fish Nay aired territory, Ca- tonnage we gave the entries t, with respect to zrds form the most cor- y in bal st to other ports for cargoes, and these not being reported ; coasters arriving at New York seldom have foreign goods and, in such case, not being required to bo en the Custom.houce, the clearances outwards form the most correct index.

There being no return freights from California, those vessels of course proceeded to the Eastern and Chinese Seas to compete with British and Foreign shipping for homeward or European cargoes. For the first two-and.a-half months of the present year 22 ships and two steamers, carrying 21,212 tonr, had cleared out from New York for California; and it is ex pected that the year's clearances will exceed those of 1851 by one-half. This is an important fact, as bearing upon the probable rate of long-voyage freights for this year.

THE proceedings at the Annual Vestry this day week were partly special, and partly of a routine character. They occupied nearly three hours, amid some sharp discussion on the part of a few, and a great deal of good humour and right feeling on the part of the meeting generally. The point of greatest interest was the renovation of St. Nicho las's Church. This ancient fabric has stood so long, has been so thoroughly identified with Liverpool in all its stages and changes, that there are few who do not sur round it with kindly associations, and take an interest in its preservation. For several centuries after the Con. quest, it was the only chapel in the village ; at one time it was used as a prison ; during a considerable period it was connected with the amusements of the people ; and again, a band of youthful worshippers were buried beneath the ruins of its spire. The 11;story of St. Nicholas's Church is the history of the town : for it has contained the ancient chantries of the middle ages ; beneath the trees in its churchyard the villagers have reclined and chatted o'er " news much older than their ale;" on its tomb stones they have stood to witness the rude baiting in the bull-ring below; and at holiday times the liberated ap prentices and schoolboys have been delighted with the sound of its bells, 89 they startled the deer in the forest glades of Toxteth. Even now, in the whirl of modern ex citement, the SHY LOCKS and BASSANIOS of our Exchange find near the spot " where merchants most do congregate" a perpetual remembrance of mortality, for the church yard, which has become a sort of highway, is literally paved with tombstones. And the lantern in its graceful spire is one of the most conspicuous objects from the river ; so that 'it guides the weary mariner to the haven, as it points the thousands of wayfarers to the home of the good. At the Vestry Meeting of 1851, the sum of £2OO had been voted for the repair of this church ; the understand ing being that the old pews would serve aoin, and that a little patching, with paint and varnish, would remedy the ordinary defects. It was found, however, that the wood work was quite gone—that it would require to be replaced ; and as there is a sort of decency and order in all matters, especially in those connected with the Church, it was resolved to do it as it should be done. Mr. HARMOOD BANNER was the churchwarden who at once undertook the responsibility ; the repairs were made in the right way, and instead of the ancient boxes being renewed which had long been claimed as private pews, the whole ground floor of the church has been thrown open for the use of the poor. We have personally in spected the alterations, and can bear testimony to the good taste and economy which guided the arrangements. The pulpit, for example, with its beautiful pierced work of solid oak, is one of the most interesting of its kind in the town ; yet it cost less than many an unsightly one o deal. Farther, Mr. BANNER came before the parishioners and said, "lalone am responsible for this alteration in the plan ; my reasons you see ; yet, if you will not confirm what 1 have done, and order payment of the additional outlay, the risk has been my own, arid the loss shall be so Never was a more honourable statement pl before a public meeting, and a feeling of indignant shame and sorrow would have been felt by every honest mind if the parishioners had hesitated to indemnify Mr. BANNER. It is said, however, that " Who builds a church to God, and Will never mark the marble witlt And instead of thant was much more near eceiving ins s for his trc raUle geu- an who led the attack was our vor cular friend ably clean hands, he ploys himself mitted that he did not upon other men. ing of church rates himself ; it was undeniable that the alterations were necessary; and the fact was self-evident that the poor had who systematically been benefited at the expense of the rich. Yet, in the instigates others to face of all this, and of Mr. BANNER'S appeal to the right feeling of his fellow-townsmen, the rate to cover the actual outlay was opposed. Truly, we have had a narrow escape in the matter of a chief constable ; for he is a prett _ tye...szni.n l aw to H o s ch u ir p n i ms o e r iln t f,d ` a ' sn l u a d w s b a ny : or der"d T7:. mAp,l do so Mr. BIRCH, of the Wo Li DON'S friend newspaper, or of Mr. Co 6t St. A employed " to keep t o were Mr. S.
