THE LIVERPOOL STANDARD, TtESDAY, AUGUST 5, 1851. 0:30. We shalt be happy at all times to receive communication's 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. the result deduced from the fact that "there is no valuing human life," was, by the lawyers, declared to be that human life had no value. This was a smart deduction, but a little more learned than logical.. To be sure there was the Popish law of ' deodand, which Lord Campbell most properly abolished. In those days, when there were no barristers who were not priests, (Hullos clericus nisi causidicus,) the law, of course, favoured the church, and though no remedy would be given to the widow or children, the animal or machine that caused the death was confiscated for masses for the soul of the deceased ; and at the Reformation the perquisite was claimed by the Crown. Jeremy Bentham, who said a few good things . , (and very few,) said that an illustration of a deodand was this. "A farmer sends out his son to work with a horse, the horse kills the son ; and the king, to comfort the father, takes the horse." This was too like the truth ; but to Lord Campbell, whose Law Reforms have been eminently practical, we are indebted for the whole some and equitable law by which, when the accident is attributable in any degree to carelessness or neglect, the survivors of those who suffer are entitled to the fullest compensation. Railway companies would' do wisely to make such an occa sion as this an opportunity for impressing on all that are employed in situations of tr►sst under them, the absolute necessity of looking to the effect that negligence may have on the company, and of consequence upon themselves. We abstain, as we think we are right in doing, from any mention of the circumstances that led to the death of Mr. Blake, of Sheffield. The company have suffered severely for the negligence of their servants. But we cannot pass, without pointing out to our readers, for their amusement, the defence made by the learned counsel for the company. He showed the jury that Mrs. Blake had, in consequence of her hus band's death, inherited a fortune that could enable her to live even in a better style than in his lifetime ; and this was seriously given as an argument against the amount of her damages. In fact, the counsel seemed to think that Mrs. Blake ought to be rather obliged to the company than otherwise. Is it not strange that grown-up men should exhibit folly like this ?

THIS Parish contains a population of more than so; 0 inhabitants; the total number of children is about 2650. of which numb r 810 only attend some Daily School, and 600 attend Sunday Schools. There being at present no adequate provision for the instruc tion of the Children of the Poor within the boundaries of this populous Parish, it is proposed to erect Schools for the recep tion of Sunday, Daily, and I ifant Scholars, at recost.of about .e2sco, inclusive of Land, and the aid of a bftireViilent Christian public is earne • tly solicited. It will, doubtless, be in the recol ee‘n of many, that the Old All Saints Church, situate i rosvenor-street, being pri vate property, passed into the ands of the Roman Catholics towards the close of the yea 844, when its Congregation was scattered, and the Schou were broken up; and on the ap pointment of the prese Incumbent, the Rev. Henry Marten, in 1847, there was neit• er Church nor Public School provided for the accommodtoton of the peo-le committed to his charge. In the year 1848/a new Church was built in Great Nelson street North, out of the Funds of the Liverpool Church Build ing Society, and the district of All Saints was thereby consti tuted a new Parish for Ecclesiastical purposes under the Act 6 and 7of Victoria. The body of the Church being free, affords ample accommodation for the poor adult population, but the means of instruction for their children, up to this present, have been but partially provided for. The only Public Schools in the Parish are those belonging to the Roman CathoPc Chapel alb ded to above, and the Sunday Schools and Daily School for Girls more recently established in connexion with the new Parish Church of All Saints; there being no Daily Instruction provided for either Boys or Infants of the Protestant community resident within the Parish. 'the Committee of the existing Schools, together with other Members of the Congregation of All Saints:, viewing, with deep concern, the imutlicient means plot ided for the religious in struction of the rising: generation, have resolved, in humble dependence on the Divine blessing, to make a strenuous effort for the raising of Funds for the Building of New Schools, and have commenced their Lbours by making their first appeal to the inhabitants of the Parish. 'those who have already been waited on, have cheerfully responded according to their aid lily ; and even the Poor, by their weekly contributions, have manifested a readiness to lend a helping hand to forward the good work. But since the great mass of the population of the Parish consists of Working Mechanics, Dock Porters, and other Operatives, it would be hopeless to expect to realise so important an object as the Building of Schools adequate to the wants of this populous neighhourlootd, without the aid of those whom God, in his good providence, has been pleased to place under more advantageous circumstances. The Committee, therefore, without further delay, unhesitat ingly lay before the public the urgent claims of this Parish on their Christian sympathy, in the earnest hope that the Nobility and Gentry, the Merchants and Tradesmen, of the Town of Liverpool, who so liberally contributed to make provision for the Adult population by the erection of a commodious Church in the midst of the Parish, will not refuse to aid them in their endeavour to give efficiency to that Church, by the addition of lizhools, in which the Children of the Poor mayreceive a sound Scriptural Education, be trained to habits of industry, and thereby become good and useful members of society.

ANOTHER ILLUSTRATION OF POPERY IN LIVERPOOL. THE Romish priesthood are illustrating the Jesuit maxim, that "there is no fool so bad as a zealous fool." The folly of their present proceedings is surely on a par with its impertinence, for they are daily stripping the Church of Rome of the character of mystery with which some weak-minded and amia ble dreamers in our own Church deligiited to invest her. They are taking care that she shall no longer appear, even to the most silly under-graduate, as a haven of rest and a centre of certainty. She is standing out boldly as apolitical system—a strongly banded conspiracy against human freedom—a con federacy, the existence of which is as dissonant from the character of liberty in a naticn as that of the "free companions" of the middle ages, or the most violent and absurd of the Proletaires of Europe at the present day. Wiseman, it appears, was not originally intended to be "Archbishop of Westminster, but the Propaganda changed their mind—a palpable instance of second thoughts not being always best ; for how can it be wondered at, that the inferior priesthood should conduct them selves with the intemperance they are now showing, when they have seen " His Eminence," while he was yet doubtful, whether or not he would be arraigned as a criminal at the bar of the Court of Queen's Bench, insult, like a schoolboy, the Dean. and Chapter of Westminster, because part of their property bore the character given it in Popish times,. when Popish bishops assumed the right to license. the commission of habitual vice. The subjoined letter exhibits Ur.; desperate eager ness with which they try to seize upon the moment when reason is tottering in the dying patient, and grief of relatives blunts the watchfulness that all Protestants keep against their multitudinous attempts. The " neighbours" mentioned by our correspondent, doubtless meaning well, are yet schooled to act as they did, in sending instantly for a Popish priest, that the opportunity of reporting ano ther so-called conversion might nut be lost. In fact, to explain the varied machinery of the Church of Rome, which she adopts to effect her great object of bringing England back to superstition, would be to occupy half a life-time. in every grade of her clergy, and their lay assistants, there exists the stimulus of personal ambition. Something is pro mised for every service rendered to the church, and the effects of such a spur are thick around us. Bat the zeal it creates is a zeal without knowledge. If the Popish priest had succeeded in performing his assigned duties over Mrs. Vernon, he would have had no gain, for these men, half I - alian and half Irish, cannot be taught to see that a successful trick in England only injures the man who performs it. The church may pardon deceit, if she pleases,-- she can never in this country profit by it. But the Rnmish priesthood have proceeded to steps still more bold. It appears, upon sufficient evi.lence, that they have at one of the London Rag ged Schools been instigating the burning and tearing of Bibles. This is no new phase of Popery. They have been pursuing the same course from Luther's time till now ; and many will remember well the shudder that ran through the country on reading the evidence of Dr. Doyle,—styling himself Bishop cf Kildare and Leighlin,—before the parlia mentary committee, in which he approved the con duct of the peasant who, when the rector gave him a bible, would not touch it with his hands, but "took it in the tongs, and buried it in the garden." Dr. Doyle might well call kim faithful and obedient, but he had about as much intelligence operating to guide him as the Hindoo widow has who mounts the funeral pile. The priesthood of Rome, it seems, have got some idea that they can drag back the peo ple of England to the condition of mediaeval blind ness, and leave them in the state of the bible-burner we have above described. They have got a very unwilling scil to work upon. Neither the disposi tion of the Anglo-Saxon nor his temperament is towards passive obedience; and whether expressed or dormant, Wiseman knows by this time that there is in the English heart a long-seated disposi tion to have "no peace with Rome." She may entrap enthusiasts by pomp, and speculators by concessions, she may gain over the hoary profligate by promise of absolution, and the heart-sick sceptic by hope of rest; but Newman was right, though he did not mean it : "A country once left, Popery never returns." TO THE EDITOR OF THE LIVERPOOL STANDARD. SIR,—On Saturday last my wife took most da3geronsly iil. She was visited by some of the neighbours, who, seeing her dangerous state, asked her if she would require a clergyman ? to which she replied in the affirmative. They immediately ran and brought a Popish priest. On his arrival I was informed that he was a clergyman, and I asked, as a matter of course, what clergyman ? and was told he was a Roman Catholic priest. I replied that 1 had no use for him, as we were Protestants. The priest then boldly insisted on seeing the sick woman ; on which I ordered him to depart. He objected to go ; but I told him that if he did not instantly leave the house, I would take active and rigid means to compel him ; and when he saw the determined stand which I took, he was obliged to leave, without making, as he anticipated, a convert. Since that time I have been threatened, by an infuriated faction, with being torn to death, or tortured in some way, by the hands of a priest-ridden party of Irish bigots. Trusting you will give this a place in your journal, and expose such a glaring attempt of a Popish priest to prose lytise the wife of an unflinching Protestant, I am. Sir, your obedient servant. FRANCIS WINTER. Vernon-place. Carlton-street, Liverpool, 30th July. 1851. GREAT WESTERN RAILWAY OF CANADA. IN another column of to-day's paper will be found a report of a meeting on this subject, which was held at Manchester on Wednesday last. It will be seen that the opinions which we expressed on this scheme last week were corroborated by the leading railway authorities present. Indeed, Mr. Laing, the chairman of the London and Brighton Railway, stated his intention to transfer from other investments a sum sufficient to take up no less than two hundred shares in this undertaking—and he is no mean guide to follow in such matters. THE LAW OF RAILWAY ACCIDENTS. A VERY signal verdict has been delivered in the case of Mrs. Blake, of Sheffield, who proceeded under Lord Campbell's Act for damages against the railway company for the death of her husband. We, of course, have no pleasure, nor have the public, in seeing any public company come to unexpected loss ; but, for the sake of the future safetylof all travellers, we cannot but hail the verdict in this case as an event likely to be of wholesome example. Indeed the case itself is well worthy of consideration. An able and venerable judge, a learned lawyer, and a distinguished scholar, Baron Parke, out of his old stores of reading, reminded the jury of the utter barbarism in which our law formerly existed on this particular subject. There was a maxim of the law, (like all the legal maxims, trite and true,) Aslimatio vita null; est, and yet THE ULTRAMONTANISTS AND LORD SURREY. WE candidly declare that we are glad of the full and unmistakeable exposure that is being made of themselves, by the persons whom Mr. Anstey well described as ".Catholics of the Court of Rome, as contradistinguished from Catholics of the Church of Rome." In Limerick the "captivity of the souls of men" has received another excellent illustration. That city, which, if placed in England, would take a high rank among the municipalities of the land, has- been for centuries a focus of slavery and unmanly grovelling to the Church of Rome. When Smith O'Brien (silly person as he was) endeavoured to reduce to practice the boastings of the Irish, a Limerick mob assaulted and attempted to murder him, and the fearless enthusist Mitchel, at the order of the priests, who could not tolerate even two Protestant rebels. If Mitchel and O'Brien had been blind Papists, like Lord Arundel and Surrey, who knelt, a few days ago,. in the mud, to the Celt who calls himself " Bishop of Limerick," there would have been no attempt to murder either one or other, for the priests would have had no doubt that the intended rebellion would be for the benefit of the Church. How far they will go for this purpose, the Limerick election fully shows. A merchant of the city, who employs hundreds or hands and feeds hundreds of mouths, professing the views of the priests as to the Anti-Popish Bill, addressed the electors, and he is opposed by a stranger, a dupe of the Ultramontanists, and a bond-slave of Wiseman. A few independent minded men are found, who, although Romanists, are not prepared to yield up their whole soul to the dominion of the priests, and they are hunted by the mob like wild beasts, until one of them is forced to cry to his fellow-religionists, (Romanist as he was.) "You are not Irishmen, but priest ridden ruffians !"—a statement fully making up in truth whatever it may have wanted in eloquence. On all sides there are marks that an unusual and deadly effort is being made by the Church of Rome to show the power of Ultramontanism in these Kingdoms. The home education of the Romish priesthood is one principal cause' of this. The establishment of Maynooth was not only a crime, but a mistake in policy. It would have been much better to let the children of the half-savage Irish peasantry, from whom the Romish priests are generally drawn, go abroad for their education, and see what was the real meaning and working of Popery. There are certain things, as Pope has it,— " Of such hideous mien, That to be hated need but to be seen." But instead of keeping this in view, we have pro vided an education for those persons based on the utmost narrowness of principle. They are taught to look to the Romish Church as the chief deposi tory of ecclesiastical and worldly promotion, and without witnessing its manners they worship its magnificence. It is for this reason that Ireland is sunk in the slough of Ultramontanism ; and the Popish priests of that country nothing more than so many hired employe's of the Roman Court, ready to do its bidding, in the hope of its rewards. Hence the disgraceful exhibition of the Limerick election, where a countryman and a townsman is thrown out to make why for a slave of the priests. POLICE INTELLIGENCE. SATURDAY. OBSTRUCTIONS. Several parties were fined in various sums for obstruct. ing the public thoroughfares with carts, &c. COLLISION IN THE RIVER. The mate of the barque Aberdeen, Mc'Gregor, sum moned the pilot in charge of a vessel called the Berlin, for compensation for damages sustained by the former ship, occasioned by the Berlin having come into collision with her off the Rock Light-house, on the evening of Thursday. Captain Smith, of the Berlin, was called, and stated that he was on deck at the time of the collision. The Berlin " let go" one of her anchors, which " got foul" of the Aberdeen's anchor, and there being no light on board the Aberdeen, the Berlin ran foul of her. The bows cleared the quarter, taking away the quarter-board, and did other damage. There was a pilot on board his ship, who had charge of her. The mate of the Aberdeen maintained that when he came upon deck, after the collision, there was a light up in the usual place. The pilot in charge of the Berlin, attributed the cause of the accident to the absence of a light on board the Aberdeen. The other vessels in the river had lights up. He called the pilot of the Aberdeen, who stated that there was no light up at the time of the collision, although he expressly ordered one. Mr. Mansfield said that, as there was faults on both sides, the Aberdeen having no light, and the anchor of the Berlin having got foul of that of the Aberdeen, he should order the parties to pay the amount of damage, (1:10 2s. 9d.,) equally. A WARNIKG TO EMIGRANTS-BREACH OF CONTRACT. [IMPORTANT case.] A respectably-dressed young man, having the appearance of a clerk, and bearing the aristocratic name of Nicholas Herbert Delamere, was brought ep on a warrant, to an swer a charge made by an Irish emigrant. named Murray, for breach of a contract, for providing him, his wife, and seven children a passage to America. The complainant, a middle aged man of decent appearance, and who evi dently belonged to that class of Irishmen who are the sinew of the country, and who after years of residence and toil, have yet to cross the waters of the Atlantic for a subsistence, stated that being about to emigrate to America ! he Wqnt (9 tlo citicg y( primicr, iA PO,Ups and paid him twelte 'pounds for the passage of hincitelf' his *ire and seven children. The prisoner gave WI a ticket, which be produced, which he wrote out at the time. He Went to the place of embarkation in Liverpool, on the 7th of last month, and was to have gone in the ship Ellen. He was subsequently ordered to go to a Mr. Rippard, in whose service ;he defendant was afterwards represented to be. Upon going to that person's office, however, he was pieremptorily ordered to depart, and was told that he had no bu,iness there. No passage had been provided for him, nor had he received a return of the passage money. Mr. MANSFIELD :—Weld,. Mr. Delamere, what have you to say to this charge ? The defendant, who exhilifed' unbounded confidence, and was a striking illustration' of the adage, that a " little law is a dangerous thing," said :—I think the case will end in a moment. I conceive that I have committed no overt act coming within the ju risdiction of this court, the alleged' contract not being mide here, but in Dublin. Besides, , I' have been so badly and extraordinarily treated, that I have not had time to ket professional assistance. Mr. Mansfield ;—Your objections rill'efot hold good. The act says that instices shall have paver to take cogni zance of the contract. either where it was made, or where the person charged with a breach of suet cantract shall happen. to. be. As you aro in Liverpool, therefore, the conrt can take cognizance. Murray cross-examined by the defendant:—You were in the office at the time I paid the money. I handed you a noto on the National Bank of Ireland for .-al!;. which you said yow would wet cashed. I entered into the con tract with you personally. You said you were teking me too cheap. The contract ticket was partly in your hand writing. I saw you• write in it. I was in Live: - pool on the 9th July.- T applied to Mr. Rippard for a passage. I did not swear that I. applied to you for a passage. Yon pledged your honour for a passage. (A laugh.) Y'•ou have since told• me that I should go to Dublin again to prosecute you. The Defendant :—With regard to the position in which am placed.—Yesterday the Emigration officer came to this court for the purpose of prosecuting the charterers of the veosel—the Ellen—for the amount ofthis person's passage money. The prosecution failed in consequenceof a technical error. That prosecution was atxandotied. The informa tion upon which that prosecution was founded was sworn to on la.,t Wednesday by the complainant, and upon that information the emigration officer proceeded to prosecute. He swore he paid the money to me on behalf of Rippard. Ile swore that he was in Liverpool on the 9.11 of July, and had applied to Rippard• for a passage, which was refused him. The-case was then postpon e d, and some arrangements were made by the government emigration officer. That officer went away to make enquiries, and in the meantime the complainant had been induced to com mit perjury. What-he swears to now is the direct oppo site of that which he swore to on Wednesday. Some one had got him to swear also that r was going to abscond, when, in fact, I had sacrificed both time and money to come up from Dublin, to be here on that morning, when the real party had actually absconded when the case was brought on in court. When Rippard was here I was kept here by the emigration officer, arrested, and taken before - the court, and kept in confinement ever since. My patters were taken possession of by that officer and he holds them still. lam charged with an offence committed in Dtblin. I can produce evidence in support of my statement, and under these circumstances I am expected to make a. defence. I did not enter into the contract Mr. Wybergh (magistrates' clerk): Lt was given at your office, and you were seen writing in it. The defendant said :—That for the purpose of bring. ing him within the range of the act, the witness had been induced to swear differently from what he swore on a previous occasion. lie referred to the 32nd Vic., —and said that it was necessary to show that he had refused the complainant a passage, or that he had been guilty of neglect. The default was on the part of the parties who entered into the contract, and he (the defendant) had come to Liverpootfor the purpose of showin4' that to be the fact. _ _ Mr. Mansfield :—I don't think any doubt can arise on the points you have urged. The contract was given by you in consideration of the money paid to you. By your subsequent conduct you adopted it as your own. The man states upon oath that you handed him the paper. The Defendant —lie has not proved that Fwas the party who entered into the contract and signed the paper. Mr.. Mansfield --I. do not think that is-necessary. Tne Complainant said that he handed the bank note to a clerk in the defendant's office, who handed it to the defendant. Mr. Mansfield thought that that was clear evidence of payment. The complainant stated that the defendant had paid him £5 for detention money. There were five days' money now due. The Defendant asked for a postponement. Mr. MatiAAd ;—You must refund the £l2. You must also pay £1 is Gd for detention money, and £2O for comti. pensatio❑ for the damage the emigrant has sustained in consequence of the delay. Defcndant :—I shall never pay, for 1 have been unjustly dealt with. M ON DAY. A PROMISING JUVENILE.—X young, urchin was brou:ht up charged with playing at cards with another boy yesterday. A sum of •id. was found upon him which he had won during the game. Mr. Mansfield ordered him to pay the Id. as a fine. A thiUNKEN ATTACK.—Rosa Wilson was cha-ged by Mrs. Quin with coining to her bonze on Sunday evening, and because she refused to comply with. a request, sa vagely assaulting her, and breaking a set of tea things and earthenware. Mr. Davenport appeared for the com plainant. As the defendant had sustained some severe injuries in the fray, Mr. Mansfield ordered her to pay the damage done, and upon her promising not to offend again discharged her. Two men named Holmes, an& two women names Jacobs and Murphy, were brought up, charged with hav ing a gold ring and duplicates, comprising part of cer tain valuable property, stolen some weeks back from the shop of Mr. Robertson, pawnbroker, of Great Hovvard street. The prisoners were remanded for seven days. EMBEZZLEMENT.—Eienry Bell, a respectable-dressed man, in the employ of Mr. William Ashley Clay on. was charged with embezzling certain monies.belonging to his employer. Mr. Clayton said, that the prisoner having previously to the present time conducted himself in a res pectabletopress h t ma e n e n h e a r, rg a e. nd_h D av is in e g bo a rg la :d g . e family, he had no wish STEALING COTTON.—James Creaton, charged with stealing cotton, the property of Messrs. Blessing and Co., was remanded. _ _ ------- ROBBERY IN A BROTHEL.—Elizabeth Johnson, Mary M'Avery, and Catherine Troy were charged with robbing John Smith of two watches and a purse, containing £4 17s. GI The prisoners met the plaintiff, who is a mate of a ship, and having decoyed him into a brothel, and rendered him insensible by drugging his liquor, rob bed him.—Remanded. Joseph Rider, charged with the manslaughter of Albert Gibbs, a boy, on board the Guy Mannerring, of which the prisoner was mate, was remanded, in order to await the result of the coroner's inquest. Mr. John Edwards (inspector of weights and measures) applied to the magistrate for protection from the violence of his wife, who, it appears, was addicted to habits of drinking, and of violently assaulting him and his chil dren.—Ordered to find two sureties in £2O each to keep the peace for one month. A notorious character, named Murphy, was committed for 14 days for being drunk and disorderly. THE NEW SCREW STEAMER PHBE. The advance of improvement in the construction of merchant, vessels is in no instance more strikingly developed than is shown in the building of auxiliary screws in the present year. We have had occasion to take notice of several lately, which have attracted admiration, but in no instance have the lines been finer, or has the model elicited more general satisfaction, than in that of the Pheebe. This fine vessel, of 600 tons register, and 150 horse-power, was launched on Saturday last, from the building yard of Messrs. Alexander Denny and Brother, of Dumbarton—who appear rather favourite builders with our Liverpool shipping friends— and she certainly does them every credit, as she promises, from her peculiar model and greater proportionate power than some of the steamers lately built, to equal any of her predecessors in the Mediterranean trade. Although remark ably yacht-like in appearance, still, for strength of con struction, her builders have challenged all cotnpettors. Ller plates throughout are double rivetted, and she hus a larger scantling than any other steamer we have seen. lier commander, Captain P. P. Brenan, who is also a large proprietor, expects to have her in Liverpool this month, when she will be laid upon her intended station — namely, Malta, Syria, Constantinople, and Smyrna; and, from an experience of upwards of twenty years in this trade, we doubt not he will make the most of her. She is the first of an intended line of new iron screw steamers for the Levant, under the management of Messrs. Preston and Watson ' of this town, who, ragardless of expense, have adopted all the most recent improvements in naval architecture; and who, seeing the daily increas ing demand, are, by this means, securing a prominent position in the Turkey trade. Messrs. Tiilloch and amity, of Dumbarton, are putting the engines into the Elccbe, and, on close examination, they have been pronnunced one of the compactest and neatest jobs of the kind ever turned out of the Clyde. She is 175 feet long ; 26 feet beam ;, 15 feet deep ; is barque-rigged ; of a pecuiiar rakish appearance, which is improved by her bow being planned so as to appear high out of the water—nearly straight, and particularly light; an improvement for which we are indebted to her practical commander, Captaba. P. P. Brenan. Her screw has only two blades, but it appears particularly strong. She has comfortable houses on deck, for the officers and engineers, and she has also a bath room on deck, which is deservedly appreciated as a great luxury in trading to oriental shores. Her cabins are large and capacious ; the berths airy and commodious ; and their ventilation, comfort, and elegance, is very superior. The ladies' cabin is a drawing-room in miniature — is elegantly furnished, and has also a comfortable bath. room attached. She is divided into four airtight corn. partments, and is calculated to carry 650 tons of goods. and 220 tons of coals, bisides twenty passengers. From the energetic character of her agents, we prophecy that success to the Phoebe which her spirited originators deserve.
