He seems to us to have acted incautiously; and B. and D. may probably be disposed to play into each others hands. A verbal agreement to pay monthly would be sufficient, if it could be proved. Sunday Schools.—We have been called upon by a gentleman requesting us to explain a passage in a letter contained in our last publication, signed J. G., regretting that steps bad not been taken to secure a school to be connected with St. Peter's Church, in the immediate district. We are assured by the gentleman in question, who has left his address, that he himself opened a Sunday school in Manesty's-lane on Easter Sunday, commencing with 20 children, which number has since increased gradually by his own unaided efforts to nearly 100 children, of whom GO have been the largest number present at one time. His statement, however, does not impugn the correctness of J. G.'s complaint, which was that little had been done by the church itself. tr,- We shall be happy, at all times, to receive communications on subjects of local or general interest ; and if our friends will be good enough to authenticate the same by their signa tures, for our own satisfaction, we shall feel obliged. Eiberpoof THE MAYNOOTH GRANT. THE POPE of ROME threw down the gauntlet, and the people of England have zealously taken it up. An aggression has been made upon our religion, our loyalty, and our laws ; and the aggressors now begin to feol that, like a defeated pugilist, they may come off only second best. The QUEEN is the head of the three estates of the realm, the centre of our loyalty, and the fountain of honour; but the holy father quietly ignored her existence, and assumed her right, while the holy children drink to him first or exclusively in their symposia, as the Jacobites drank the health of " The King"—over the water. A synod was held at Thurles, which agreed to ascertain from the POPE whether Roman Catholics should obey the laws of the United Kingdom in the matter of education or not; and though the doctors disagreed, his holiness gravely decreed that they should not. Yet, strange to say, this decision affects only the middle and upper classes, those who seek for the higher education which belongs to the gentleman, or affords an entrance to professional life; the children of the poor may enjoy a mixed education in the national schools as heretofore; There are some who would carry out the principle, and keep even the children of the peasantry in ignorance, unless they could be educated in schools under the exclusive manage ment of the priesthood; but either their numbers are few, or there is no hope of securing that point at present, for it is insisted upon but gently. As if to complete the absurd aggression which is thus wildly and wantonly begun, the whole Christian world is informed that England is returning to the ancient church ; not that which was planted in the apostolic ages, but that whose corruptions had become too gross for endurance in the beginning of the sixteenth century. And all this occurs at a time when every reader of the newspapers is aware that the conversions from Popery are literally a thousand to one, when compared with the perver sions to it. In the diocese of Tuam alone, which consists almost exclusively of the counties of Mayo and Galway, and which includes the Roman Catholic diocese of the lion of St. Jarlath's, they amounted some time ago to 100,000 ;though Dr. PLUNKETT is not a popular prelate, nor has he ever been cele brated for ultra Protestantism. With these facts before us, we are not to be sur- Tised at a re-action. Lord PALMERSTON supposes that it is not so much in the minds of members of Parliament as in those of the public at large ; and if so, that is only a proof of the well known principle —that Parliament follows, but does not lead, public opinion. It is also said, and, as we believe, truly, that the feeling which has been aroused will ex ercise an important influence on the approaching elections; thanks to the "brass band," both in and out of Parliament. It will not do to blow hot and cold in rapid succession ; to assume the tone of the imperious dictator to-day, and that of the fawning suppliant to-morrow ; to show what would be done with the high hand, if power were possessed, and then, "with bated breath and whispering humble ness," to plead persecution. A local contemporary has noticed the suicidal policy of the Roman Catho lics, both here and elsewhere, in attempting to dic tate, in forgetfulness of their contemptible numbers ; and in rousing against themselves an antagonism which Protestants would gladly let go to rest. The motion of Mr. SPOONER, which was ably supported by Mr. WALPOLE, is not for the anni hilation of Maynooth, or for an abolition of its grant, or for a reversal of the policy of 1845, or for a diminution of the number of students educated. The sole object of it is to lead to inquiry, and to produce facts in evidence which may either warrant future legislation, or put an end to sectarian agita tion. We are amazed that so simple and harmless a proposition should be viewed with alarm by the Irish representatives and others of that class ; for those who possess the mens conscia recti are usually the very first to demand an investigation into their conduct. Leaving the question of doc trine untouched, let us inquire simply on the three grounds noticed by the Secretary for the Home Department, and decide by that issue. Is it so that the Roman Catholics are unable to educate their own students, as has been practically averred for 57 years ? The accumulation of funds for a, [Roman] Catholic "University," is an awkward reply to the question. It would seem, too, that a farther aggression is contemplated, for the college to be founded by these funds is ostentatiously styled a " University," as if the power of conferring degrees were to be derived from Rome ; though it is notorious that by the laws of the United Kingdom foreign college distinctions are as illegal as foreign peerage distinctions. Is it argued that a do metic priesthood is produced here ? The Irish " Catholic" Directory will show that, a few years ago, when the Romanists were ostentatiously quoted at seven millions, they required a permanent staff of about 2,000 clergy ; and now when they can barely reckon upon four millions, and these rapidly diminishing with their pecuniary resources diminishing also—it cannot be said that the same number is necessary. Or, has the sop to Cerberus been successful in breaking up the "confederacy" which Mr. Keogh admits to exist against the Church and Constitution ? Let the events of IS4B testify; let the aggression of 1550 testify ; the statutes of Thurles; the policy of which that fact was the forerunner and exponent, and which is con tinued to the present hour. There is much apathy among Protestants respect ing their cherished liberty of conscience, and those public events which affect its interests ; but the motion of Tuesday last shows that the feeling in favour of pure religion, law, and order, is awakening in all classes of society; that our regard for the great principles of the Constitution is "not dead but sleepeth."

THE Society for Promoting the Employment of Curates in Populous Places, currently known by the brief title in our heading, is one which has for many years conferred great benefits on the community. Its great object is to increase the pastoral minis trations of the clergy ; to afford opportunities for an increase of Church services, but especially to facilitate the acquaintance of clergy and people at the hearths and homes of the latter. The necessity for this is becoming daily more apparent. The duties of the pulpit are only a portion of those which the ministers of Christ are called upon to perform, yet in the great majority of cases they entail a large amount of preparation. In our large towns, even the poor acquire a fastidious taste, or they follow after those who are more celebrated, till the parochial system is broken up. In the meanwhile, the masses of our people become ungodly and negligent of all christian ordinances ; and the next step after practical heathenism may be towards Popery, or Mormonism, or dissent, or contemptuous disregard of all religion. It is a humiliating fact that, notwithstanding our con tinual boast respecting wealth, the people of England at large have to support vital Christianity among us in this town ; for the subscriptions to provide curates fall short of the assistance received, by a large annual sum. To the diocese of Chester, the Curates' Aid Society pays £990 per annum in the support of curates more than the amount of diocesan contributions; and if this were not so, we should have only seven curates where we have now t wen ty-one. One would suppose th a t th e contrary would et districts in remote parts of be the case ; that we would support all our own supplemen staprayrecleforgrytahte less least,effin e and perhaps hav e s ome thi ng t o the country. The report of the local committee of the Curates' Aid Society in this town states the gratifying fact that one gentleman proposes the local extension of the society. He will give £2OO a-year to support two additional curates, — provided the society, by its increase of local subscriptions, can support two more ; and, by a second effort, it is hoped that the society will be able to relieve him of his generous undertaking, that his money may be applied to other Church purposes. The proposition is made in the right spirit, and in the right way. Those who best know the necessities of the case can best appreciate the efforts of such societies, or of their zealous members ; and we trust that many new friends will come forward with a hearty response to the proposition which the committee announce. Since writing the above, we have been informed that the Earl of SEFTON has sent the munificent donation of £25, and a subscription of £5 a-year, to the funds of the society. GRAND PROTESTANT TEA PARTY, AT a TEA PARTY and AIVETING of the PRO TESTANTS of LIVERPOOL, held at the CONCERT HALL, Lord Nelson-street, Yesterday (Monday) Evening, GEORGE H.

HALL, and carried unanimously—" That the thanks of this meeting be given to Mr. Georges - H. Horsfall for his kindness and his able conduct in the chair." COUNTY COURT, YESTERDAY. A HORSE CASE—FOX 2'. DEANE.—This was one of a number of adjourned cases which were reheard before Mr. Pollock. The claim was for £l9, the balance of the amount of the purchase of a brown mare which the de fendant bought from the plaintiff in. May last. The plaintiff was to give the mare and £5 to the defendant for a pony and dog-cart. The exchange was made. and some time after the defendant called upon the plaintiff, and said he should like to have the pony and dog -cart back, for which'he would pay £24. This was agreed to, and he then paid him £5 on account. Henow refused to pay thebalance on the ground that the mare which he had bought from the plaintiff was unsound when received. It was alleged for the defendant that, subsequently to receiving the mare, he had seen the plaintiff's groom, who ackowledged that she was unsound when delivered to the defendant. 'Sub sequently tit's man, when he found an action was pending on the point, denied that he ever said what the defendant attributed to him. On being sworn, he gave his name as Joseph 'New ' • he stated that he considered the horse sound and without blemish when he took the animal from his master's house to that of the defendant. The latter brought forward a witness, who swore that New had given it as his opinion that the mare was lame. His 'Honour deferred giving any decision until the next court. Rueter v. Fox.—Mr. Hime, who appeared for the defendant in this case, submitted that it was his intention to apply either for a new trial or for a non-suit. The case has already been published. His honour, after examining into the case, said, if he did not give an answer, he should grant a rule nisi. KIRKMAN v. REA.—The plaintiff in this case is widow lady, and the defendant a provision merchant in White chapel. The claim was of small amount, and was for porter supplied to the defendant during the life of the plaintiff's husband. The defendant contended that he had paid whatever demands hsd been made .on Itim by the deceased. The judge atter a patient hearing of the case said, the burden of proof rested with the defendant, who must show that he had paid the claim, which he con sidered had been made out by the plaintiff.—Verdict for the plaintiff. INSOLVENT DEBTOR.—John Dougherty., Jun., an insolvent debtor, carrying on the business of a butcher in Cleveland Market, applied to the court to make a final order. Mr. Hirne supported the application, and Mr. Pemberton appeared for several creditors, two of whom he called, to oppose the discharge of the insolvent. Mr. Pemberton referred to two of the creditors who were present, Mr. Edward Clough and Mr. John Chadwick ; to the former the insolvent owed £4 Bs. ld. for meat pur chased on•the . l2th of March, and to the latter 1"9 15s. 10d. for the whole of which, with the exception of £1 10s. an old balance, meat bad been furnished in January or February. The insolvent had taken the benefit of the act about eighteen months since, when he paid 10s. in the pound. This was the second application to the court, and he had twice before compromised with his creditors. A creditor named Handford had obtained a judg ment five months since in that court for a debt of £5O. There were other judgments impending. The insolvent denied that there had been any special aereement entered into by him when he purchased the meat from Mr. Clough and Mr. Chadwick. Both of these persons swore that the insolvent undertook to pay for the meat on the day after it was sold, as they would not have parted with it under any other conditions. In answer to a question with refer ence to a shandry and horse, the insolvent said he had sold them to a hawker named Waldron for £l2, Mr. Pemberton asked his honour to dismiss the application on the ground that when the insolvent contracted the debts be had no probable means of payment,—that, in fact, be had contracted debts under a false pretence. Mr. Hime replied for the insolvent, when his Honour said, that in a case where the purchase was made for the purpose of carrying on the business of the insolvent, lie did not think it could be said that there was not a rea sonable means of payment. But though he did not think he could regard the case as one of false pretence, he should adjourn the final order for six months. He should always discriminate between the case of an insolvent who had been in the court a short time pre viously, and that of an insolvent who was suddenly driven into that court by the pressure of circumstances, because in the former case a lesson of caution ought to have been learned. On this ground principally be adjourned the final order. Protection to be suspended for one month. MURDEROUS ATTACK, ON SATURDAY NIGHT, IN BEN JONSON-STREET.—On Saturday night last, at a house in Ben Jonson-street, an old woman suddenly attacked a man, as if with a view to sever his head from his body, by cutting half way round his neck as deeply as she could thrust the razor. The poor fellow lost an immense quan tity of blood, from two wounds of great length, and was carried to the St. Anne's Dispensary, where he was at tended to by Dr. Nottingham; and the house-surgeon of the institution. ZOOLOGICAL GARDENS.—The weather yesterday being what may be termed seasonable, the attendance at this fashionable resort was more numevons than on any pre vious evening. We have already alluded to the excel lent effect of the scenic representation of the City of Paris. The plaudits of the audience last night showed their appreciation not only of the !yporama but of the beautiful manner in which it was heightened in gorgeous ness by the pyrotechnic display. THE PROPONTIS. screw steam -ship. Captain Glover, with the mails for Cape St. Vincent, Sierra Leone, and the Cape, in charge of Commander Thornburn, R.N., left Plymouth on Saturday afternoon.

The . notice is given for the 22d inst an t, th e fi rs t day of tertn.—Morning Hera l d. MELANCHOLY DEATH OF A CLERGYMAN.-oO.Satur day morning week, the Rev. J. H. S. Barr, who was a priest vicar of Exeter Cathedral, left his residence in Col leton-crescent, Exeter, to proceed to Porthleven, near Helston, in Cornwall, to supply the place of the Rev. J. L. Williams. the incumbent, who is absent on account of ill-health. On Sunday Mr. Burr did duty for the rev. gentleman. He was lodging in a small house which over looked the sea, and about half-past eight on Tuesday morning he went out to indulge in sea-bathing, of which he was particularly fond. He had been invited to break fast at the parsonage, but not appearing at the time ap• pointed, a servant was sent to his lodging to make in quiries. On learning that he had not returned from bath ing, alarm was immediately felt, and some of his friends hastened to the spot in the direction which he had been last seen. They found his clothes upon the beach, and his faithful dog—a small white terrier—still guarding them. Nothing could be seen of the unfortunate gentleman, and the sea was so rough that the boatmen could not put out in any small boats. How ever, search was prosecuted, and at a late hour in the afternoon the body was discovered. carried by the rapidity of the current, a distance of two miles from the spot where the clothes and dog were found. TUESDAY MORNING, MAY 18, 1352. WAS THE DIVISION ON MONDAY NIGHT A MINISTERIAL DEFEAT, OR A TRIUMPH ? WHEN Mr. WILLIAM EWART GLADSTONE, on Monday last, rose to move an amendment to the ministerial proposition to transfer the representation from St. Albans and Sudbury to the West Riding of Yorkshire and the Southern Division of Lan cashire, he anticipated, no doubt, two ministerial calamities as the result of his motion. First, a long obstructive debate ; and, in the end, a damaging ministerial defeat. His own speech on the occasion touched solely upon the question of the propriety of a Government, pledged to deal only with the urgent business of the session, under taking so important a matter. But he looked for, on the part of his Whig-Radical allies, such an exposition of their various democratic nostrums as might afford them useful aid at the coming elections ; and when he sat down, and not a single member from the Government Benches rose to reply, the general dismay and surprise were utter. The House proceeded to the vote amidst wondering looks and anxious whispers between the motley assortment of the right honourable gentleman's supporters, the CHANCELLOR of the EXCHEQUER wearing the calm and confident front of a man conscious of his power, and careless whether the die, which he had just cast, might he a winning or a losing one. And when the temporary opposition triumph was declared, and the Government pro ceeded to the order of the day on the Militia Bill, as if no such event had happened, a scene almost unparalleled in parliamentary history was com pleted. The member for Oxford University had set a net for the Government to fall into ; but it was his own allies of the day who had rushed blindly into its meshes. We are, certainly, not sorry for the Whig- Radical portion of these men, who, it was well remarked, will have to repent deeply their purely factious conduct. But we are sorry for the few Conservative members whose names we find in the list of the majority on the occasion. For, what was the real nature of the proposition ? It was, in the first place, to complete the prescriptive number of the people's representatives, which had been diminished by the disfranchisement of two boroughs of proved rottenness, and to divide into smaller dimensions two of the most numerous and unwieldy constituencies in the empire. As an abstract pro position, it could not be excepted against ; as one based upon justice, it was equally unimpeachable. There was nothing to be *objected against, either, in its details. The constituency of West Yorkshire, numbering 33,000 electors, was to be divided by a line of railway, certainly not laid doWn with a view to such use being made of it. The constituency of South Lancashire, numbering upwards of 21,000 electors, was to be divided by the natural boundary of its old hundreds. To such a proposition no Conservative can possibly urge a reasonable objec tion ; nor can any Whig-Radical, no; steeped in faction to the lips, impugn its justice. Take, for example, the case of South Lancashire. Inde pendently of its great number of electors, which almost prohibits the idea of a contest for its repre sentation unless the candidates are either men of vast wealth, or are supported by the joint stock purse of a league, its original formation, we con tend, was in utter violation of the intent and meaning of a county constituency. Its manufac turing boroughs—nine in number—return fifteen members to Parliament; and the effect is, that in every county election, when a question is at issue between the manufacturing portion of the popula tion and the agricultural portion, the votes of the latter are swamped by those of the freeholders in the towns. The Whig-Radical portion, however, of the faction led by Mr. GLADSTONE, and espe cially the agents of the Anti-Corn Law League, saw that the proposition might give to the agricultural portion of the electors something like a fair chance of having their voices heard in Parliament. The division of South Lancashire into hundreds might probably leave in their hands the control over Salford ; but the agricultural Hundred of West Derby would probably emancipate itself from their thraldom. The calm, unbiassed judgement of the country will ultimately decide this question in favor of the ministry against their unprincipled opponents. The Hundred of Salford contains— Manchester, returning 2 members. Salford (borough).... 1 ~ Oldham •• • • 2 ~ Bury Ashton-under-Lyne Bolton .. 2 If Rochdale ,f, *--- Total lO „ For the West Derby Hundred we have Liverpool returning 2 members. Wigan 2 „ Warrington 1 „ Total •• • • •• • . 5 The township• of Wigan, however, is partly in• Salford, and partly in West Derby ; and that of Warrington is nearly on the border line of the two Hundreds. Both are manufacturing boroughs ; so that virtually the Salford Hundred at present returns thirteen borough members, and that of Wrest Derby only two, viz., those for Liverpool. A similar state of things exists in the Wrest Riding, the division of which will probably emancipate the purely agricultural part of the constituency from this domination of the League. Will the country, we ask, in its present temper, tolerate so manifest an injustice as is sought by the Whig-Radical faction to be perpetrated upon these important agricultural districts ? We feel confident that it will not. It has struck some people as rather singular that we have heard few explosions of joy from the Whig-Radical party over the result of the division on this occasion. We suspect they have discovered that a party may be in a majority without having achieved a victory. Mr. DIsRAELI has held up before the country an intelligible idea of the nature of the modifications which, if called upon, be would make in our representative system. They are such as moderate men of all parties will regard with approval ; and we much suspect that the foretaste of them, which he has given in his recent proposal, will prove " a severe blow and a heavy discouragement" to the small panderers to demo Cracy—the \VALMSLEYS and THOMPSCNS of the Whig-Radical party—who, incapable of any prac tical legislative efforts themselves, make political capital of so-called " Parliamentary Reform," CUSTOMS' REFORM. WE know of no work the performance of which by Go vernment would be more acceptable to the mercantile and trading. community, than a thorough reform of the mode of collecting our Customs and Excise Revenue. The Boards who conduct these two departments have not progressed in intelligence with the age, or adapted their systems to promote the convenience of the commercial world. The great evil in both departments is unneces sary centralisation. Vast, for example, as is the com merce of Liverpool, the Collector and Controller of our Custom-house have very limited powers. The most tri vial affair—a mere breach of form, which the intelligent eyes of either of these gentlemen could determine in a moment—is made the source of endless and harassing representations to the head authorities in London ; and, in the most ordinary and everyday transactions, forms are insisted upon, half of which are mere surplusage, and regulations laid down, which, in very many cases, pro duce no other result than annoyance and loss to the merchant. The business of the under officials is con ducted in the most litigious spirit, probab'q from their being too independent of their local superiors ; and in formations are continually being laid, and seizures made, which seem to be prompted almost solely by the wish to remind us of the restrictions and surveillance with which we are surrounded. We observe that a committee of London merchants has just published an address to the constituencies of the kingdom, upon the opportunity afforded by the approach ing general election for enforcing a reform of the system upon which these departments are conducted. We are scarcely satisfied, however, that any necessity exists for such a mode of procedure. We are not afflicted at pre sent with a Government deeply tinctured, like the last, with the vice of nepotism. Lord DERBY has not, like his predecessor, a host of needy uncles and cousins hanging on his skirts. Neither himself nor any of his colleagues have to provide for a swarm of empty-headed bogtrotters, such as the importation which the Marquis of CLANRI CAROB foisted upon the Post-office department from his Irish estates. All, we conceive, that is wanted, is a powerful appeal from the mercantile body to the head of the Administration; and we would respectfully suggest to the Liverpool Chamber of Commerce to take the initiatory in such a movement. GREAT PROTESTANT TEA PARTY LAST NIGHT. Yesterday evening a grand Protestant tea party was held at the Concert-hall, Lord Nelson-street. GEORGE H. HORSFALL, Esq., was announced to take the chair; but being detained by unavoidable business, tea was served to the numerous party present. Mr. Horsfall engaging to appear as soon as it was finished. The hall was decorated with a profusion of Orange banners ; and most of the male portion of the assembly present wore their insignia as masters or members of the Orange order, and were accompanied by their wives and daughters. After tea had been concluded a grace was sung, and the chairman entered the room amidst loud cheering. Amongst the gentlemen on the platform we observed : Mr. Aldertmn Paiker, Messrs. Laurence Peel, E. G. Deane, Peacock, R. Clay, Clay, jun., W. J. Horsfall, Clarke, H. G. Webster, Huson, Knott, William Rowett, H. Bremner, W. Fisher, Hall, &c. Mr. G. EL HORSFALL briefly apologised for having detained the meeting by having been called away by business of a nature personal to himself; and expressed his regret at not being privileged to address them as bro ther Orangemen. He would, however, address them as fellow-townsmen. When he looked through the book which he held in his bands, containing their laws and or dinances, it was a relief to him to find that he should not have to touch upon the topic of free trade, or as it should be called, bastard free trade, although that were easy enough. The body before them be found to be associated together ti support the great and holy principles embodied in the Fr )testatit constitution of the realm. The speaker took a rapid review of the state of society in the various em pires and kingdoms of the continent ; and appealed to the meeting whether they. would barter their own enjoy ment of civil and religious liberty for the condition of the people of European nations. Mr. Horsfall proceeded to point out the danger which was impending over that glorious constitution which the order, whom he was w House any addressing, were pledged to uphold. Those dangers were or which p h t. a d o b r e d e n threatenedh n Russell from the Lichfield setan accom recently, whilst attempting to form a new adminis tration, had sent first for Sir James Graham—not the Sir James Graham of Sir Robert Peel's administra tion, but Sir James the unmitigated democrat. He had next sent for Mr. Cobden, a gentleman who, as a member of the Peace Society, as shown by Lord Palmer ston, saw nothing to be grieved at if England should be come a province of France. Mr. Horsfall proceeded to point out that the country was, more than all, threatened with assaults upon its religious liberties, and in stanced the tyranny practised by theßomanCatholicPriest hood of Ireland towards those representatives of the Irish people who, though devotedly Roman Catholic, were not disposed to bend to their dictation. He proceeded to say that he would, however, speak of the candidates who were planed before them, which was the principal business for which they wet e met; and after passing an eloquent eulo glum upon Messrs. Mackenzie and Turner, appealed to the meeting, in compliance with their oath, to give their support to these gentlemen, alio would maintain the principles which they professed. After a few more im pressive remarks, Mr. Horsfall concluded amidst enthu siastic applause. Mr. FtsnEn. proposed the first resolution, which was a vote of confidence in the administration' of the Earl of D:rby. He apologised for putting himself forward to take the place of the gentleman—Mr. Samuel Holme— who was to have moved this resolution. Mr. Fisher gave an able sketch of the scenes of bigotry and tyranny which Mr. Holme bad witnessed during his recent tour in Italy ; and reviewed at some length the past policy of the administrations, which their present member, Mr. Cardwell, had supported, and the conduct and principles of Mr. Cobden, Sir James Graham, and the Free Trade party generally. Mr. ROWETT, in seconding the resolution, defined what was Conservatism, and contended . that it meant giving to the working-classes not only the cheap loaf, but the .means of buying it. He entered shortly into an explanation of the small amount of saving from cheap food compared with the loss of wages to Englishmen. The speaker, after a stirring comment upon the excel lence of o:ange principles, appealed to the order to stand firm to those principles, and to their banners, and he was confident of triumph. Mr. Alderman PARKER moved the second resolution, (which will be found in our advertising columns,l and stated that he had never more pleasure in meeting his fellow Protestants of Liverpool than when they were sur rounded. as at present, by their wives and daughters. He would not inflict upon them a long speech upon politics, the great question of which, lie was reminded by those glorious colours which he saw on every side, was the question of their Protestant liberties. The speaker com mented briefly upon the high character of their candi dates, and expressed himself confident, from his own knowledge of the state of the canvass, of their triumphant success. Band-r" The goad old English Gentlemen." Mr. CLARKE - seconded the resolution, in a very humorous speech, directing himself to some lady in the assembly who had come there to decide which way she was to advise her husband to vote, and concluded by an eloquent appeal in behalf of Protestant principles, in the course of which he pledged the Orangemen of Liverpool to unite with the Constitutional Association in returning Messrs. Mackenzie and Turner. Mr. PATCHETT moved and Mr. S. HALL seconded a vote of thanks to the chairman, who replied briefly, and the meeting separated. experiencedn orange - u s r t db r c an e : t , we evening, i t n h g e , infuriated halarm bu w ll a . s A .._-- h eta f i ere has been any serious result. :n n t ! i i l 1 4 ) y e h r b t basket overturned,adr of n Lae.have tgni I:o.ritslmenacing yesterdaywiireeaheard nad sr skte i al nal:telt! remarkable THE CARPENTER FAMILY.—The concert in which A N INFURIATED Bi c : f t, L a . l - 1 lluc at the Concert-Hall, was a successful most performance. The favourable impression they first conveyed has been fully realised. They are not only highly accomplished, but possess what art can never supply, genius. BRITISH QUEEN, SCREW STEAMER.—We are re quested to state that the survey and investigation chew that the propelling machinery was not the cause of the fire in this vessel's after-hold. It therefore appears to have originated from spontaneous combustion or other undiseoverable cause in the cargo itself. CRICKET.—A cricket match of great interest will be played on the Olympus ground, Prince's Park, on Mon day next and the two following days, The competitors will be the far-famed Eleven of England and twenty of the select of Liverpool. The two borough members and his worship the mayor are the patrons. ESCAPE OF A PRISONER FROM CHESTER CASTLE.— On Sunday, one of those daring feats was achieved at Chester Castle, which occasionally occur to prove that the genius of the famous Jack Sheppard still lives in cur prisons. A man , named William Dean, who was scn tene.d to 15 years transportation at the last assizes for burglary, contrived to escape from confinement. Dean, who is a returned convict, was formerly a silk weaver, and resided at Macclesfield. He was locked up as usual on Saturday night in his cell : on the following day he con trived to break out, and gained access to the corridor, from which lie got into a passage, thence upon the roof, when he applied a " warp," which lO had been engaged on in his capacity of weaver, to use, by,tying it to chim ney, and by this means he at length4ained a f ing on terra firma. ..----- - -----,\ ~,, .
