Eiberpoot tanbarbf TUESDAY MORNING, AUGUST 3, 1852. THE APPEAL TO THE COUNTRY ITS RESULTS. AND 'WE place little faith in the tabular lists put forth by our contemporaries, as indices of the probable strength of Lord DERBY'S Government in the new Parliament. Past experience has shown that such speculations are generally delusive ; and they are likely to be especially so on the present occasion, when such a large portion of the members have been returned chiefly as opponents of a policy which, it is now certain, will not be attempted to be carried out. It may be interesting, however, to some of our readers to examine a few of these speculations. The following is the mode in which the members are classified by eight of the leading London jour nals : The Times Daily News Chronicle 313.. Lib. Lib. Con. Total 305.... 55.. —650 Herald Post .. 290.... 310.... 50.. .. 650 Globe 304.... ....651- Observer 329.. Spectator John Bul The fallacious nature of some of these returns is evident from the fact that, in the first place, the gentlemen set down as Liberal Conservatives are assumed to be on most occasions opponents of Lord DERBY'S Government, whereas it is well known that the majority of them only differ from his lordship on the subject of the corn-laws. The Morning Chronicle regards them as "Peelites," —a name to which they have no claim what ever. Had Captain DENMAN or Mr. Locx been returned for Manchester, they would very properly be classed amongst the " Liberal Conser vatives." Yet both these gentlemen are the very antipodes of Peelites on every other question but free trade. In the second place, it has been too readily assumed that every member of the old Liberal and Whig party is an anti-ministerialist ; whereas it is patent to the world that many of this party have pledged themselves to give Lord DERBY'S Government a fair trial, and the more re spectable amongst them would spurn being drawn into any factious movement against it, led on by such dangerous politicians as Sir JAMES GRAHAM and Mr. COBDEN. The present month's number of Blackwood, at the close of an able article, headed " The Earl of DERBY'S Appeal to the Country," gives the follow ing opinion as to the future prospects of the Go vernment, in which we cordially concur 4-- " Of one thing we are quite certain, that ministers will not meet the new parliament unprepared to carry into vigorous operation a well considered and determined policy, which will abundantly satisfy any degree of reasonable expectation. Nor shall we be surprised to see them disposed to bring matters to a speedy issue, if en countered by factious opposition, come from what quarter it may, and disguised under never so specious an aspect. Those interests which have suffered so severely from pre cipitate legislation will be well represented in the new 'House of Commons, and have to deal with a friendly ministry, which it will be at once their interest and their duty to support steadily, against all hostile and sinister combinations. The cause of law reform will be safe in their hands ; nay, the first four months of their existence have shown that it cannot be in better hands, and we venture to deny that it can be in any other hands so good as theirs. They have indeed shown a thorough heartiness in the sacred cause of law and justice ; and what they have already done in this great department, of itself is sufficient for ever to signalise their hitherto brief tenure of power. We shall not concern ourselves, nor amuse our readers, by speculations as to the precise number of supporters with whom the election returns are rapidly surrounding Lord Derby and his government. It is now, as we have already stated, upwards of a week ago since the present Chancellor of the Exchequer distinctly de clared in public that government " would meet parlia ment in the autumn with an absolute majority ;" and we are not aware of a single journal that has ventured to contradict the statement. Every day's returns tend to corroborate more and more strongly the truth of that statement, which was one calculated to challenge vehe ment contradiction, could it have been given consistently with fact. There was a will, but no way, to do so. Our own over zealous friends may have been too sanguine in their expectatipns, and hasty in their calculations ; but those of our opponents, at least of the more eager and unscrupulous, are preposterous, impeaching their good faith, or their capacity as political observers. We enter tain no misgivings as to the position and reception of ministers in the new parliament. Their majority on vexed questions may not be large, but it will be sufficient; and against faction it will be DECISIVE." THE LIFE GUARDS OF THE CONSTITUTION. THE sable population of the island of Barbadoes were wont in former times to sing a loyal and pa triotic song, the burden of which intimated that, as the Barbadians were true to their allegiance, their Sovereign need be under no apprehensions— " 'Badian 'tan"tiff—King George him needn't fear." The honourable: aronet of NETHERBY has recently been guilty of a plagiarism on this " Ethiopian" ditty, altering it to suit the present time, the Queen VICTORIA, and the electors of Carlisle. At a din ner at which he was last Monday, he intimated his belief that Lord DERBY'S alarm at the spread of democratic principles is groundless, because he had seen the conduct of the electors of Carlisle during the recent contest, and it had entirely removed all apprehension as to the " increase of democratic power." Most satisfactory and convincing argu ment !--most conclusive and confuting assurance for the lovers of the British Constitution ! Why should the COBDEN s and the BRIGHTS, the Radi cals, the Communists, the Chartists, et hoc genus mune (i.e. all kinds of " Liberals"), be for a moment suspected of wishing to promote the growth of democratic influences, or to make experiments upon the political or social institutions of the country ? Look at the conduct of the electors of Carlisle ? They have returned Sir JAMES GRAHAM to Par liament. Ergo, the Constitution is safe. " The CAR LISLERS 'tan' tiff." Queen VICTORIA may sleep in peace, without a ftar that the lustre of one jewel in her imperial diadem ever will be dimmed. The BORDER KNIGHT and his loyal CONSTITUENTS must henceforth be deemed the LIFE GUARDS of the British Constitution. As long as this bold band rally round the colours of their captain, the British Crown, and the British Constitution, will remain in inviolable security ! Alas ! that the wearer of that crown should be so insensible to the merits of the true champion of her power 1 Alas ! that she entrusted the administration of the country to the worst and most dangerous of Democrats. Such, however, appears to be the deplorable truth, if the statement of Sir JAMES GRAHAM is to be relied upon, which declares that "Lord DERBY, during the short period he has held office, has done more to give a sudden and violent influence to the popular party, than any course of mild progressive reform could have effected in the space of two generations." Oh, fie ! Lord DERBY ; this surely is too bad ; while you are thus fostering the prin ciples of Radicalism, and developing their influence with the accelerated velocity of two generations of progress condensed into the space of a few short months Sir JAMES of NETHERBY is buckling on his Conservative armour, in order that he may pro tect the time-honoured fabric of the Constitution, which you have already undermined, and are even now prepared to blow up. Fortunately, indeed, the " conduct of the electors of Carlisle" has made all safe; and the discharge of two generations'worth of progress in Lord DERBY'S grand democratic explo sion of the recent session, has done no scathe to the Icrown, and produced no " increase of democratic power." On the same occasion as the one on which the right hon. baronet scattered his denunciation of the democratic doings of the Earl of DERBY, he facetiously but somewhat as%kwardly pressed into his service an incident recorded in the Book of GENESIS. "We are told," said the orator, "that after the overthrow of Lord DERBY'S Government the deluge comes. What was the fact before the deluge is recorded ? We read that all peo ple spoke one language. What was the post diluvian symptom ? There was a confusion of I think the deluge is past, and Babel ' Sir JAMES need not anticipate. d the " Liberals" ever succeed in turning out tongues is come." Shoul the present Government party, he is sure to see confounded." Neither the " confusion worse THE LIVERPOOL STANDARD, TUESDAY, AUGUST 3, 1852. honourable Baronet with his CARLISLE LIFE nor any other leader with any other regi ment, or band, or troop will then understand the war cry or the words of command of his neighbour, but the " Liberals," like the builders of the tower of Babel, will be scattered over the face of the earth, never again to be united by the tie of a common GUARDS, language or a common principle. ENIIG RATION AND ITS EFFECTS ON WAGES. THE result of the Elections, whilst establishing in power a Conservative and Protestant Government, is regarded by all parties as a declaration by the constituencies that there shall be no return to a protective system. British industry in this country is to compete, unaided, with the industry of other The worn-out soils of England, culti- decline as a commercial nation must ensue. We may then, when it is too late, deplore the policy which has driven our best customers and the in dustry and enterprise of the country from its shores ; and he enabled from sad experience to estimate the value of a prosperous agricultural interest. THE CASE OF THE BARONESS VON BECK. ENGLISHMEN are so fond of fair play, and are so accustomed to the impartial and effectual adminis tration of justice by the tribunals of their native land, that they naturally feel indignant, and arouse the sympathetic indignation of their countrymen, when they meet in their travels abroad with any evidence of a reckless interference with the liberty of the subject, or of partiality or inefficiency in the officers of the law. Suppose the following tale to be a true one,—and we shall leave it to our readers to say what feelings it would excite in those who should peruse it, from John O'Groat's to Land's end : "An accomplished young Englishman, aged 31, son of a nobleman of high hereditary rank, and who has recently left the army after ten years' ser vice, being attracted by the announcement of an exhibition of the utmost interest, repaired some time since to the banks of the Danube. On his journey thither he heard of the great sensation which had been created by the appearance of a work published by one of his countrywomen, and containing personal anecdotes relative to the writer herself, and to some of the most distinguished of her contemporary compatriotes and he was re quested by a fair friend to secure an autograph of the authoress, if he should be fortunate enough to meet her in the course of his travels. Arrived at his destination, the young gentleman discoved that the writer of the work in question was residing in the same town. Not forgetful of his commission, he took steps to procure an introduction, which would enable him to gratify the curiosity of the lady. The authoress, a woman far advanced in years, flattered by this attention, entered at large into conversation with her young countryman, and excited his interest and compassion. She declared herself to be the widow of an officer who had died in the service of their country, and related many circumstances which proved her to be thoroughly acquainted with persons and events of the most remarkable and interesting character. Finding that this lady was struggling against poverty, the young man promptly assisted her with a loan suited to his means, and set actively to work, from motives of the purest charity, to assist her in the effectual publication of another work, by the disposal of which she might honestly provide for the neces sities of life. The lady was advised, in order to insure a profitable sale for her work, to pay a visit to a great provincial town ; an] by the earnestness of her entreaties, and her appeals to her young friend's companion, she persuaded him to accom pany her on her journey. " Arrived at the town in question, the English. woman and her kind-hearted fellow-traveller became the " Lions" of the day, and were feted and courted accordingly; and numerous subscriptions were obtained for the forthcoming book. Symptoms of genuine hospitality were evinced, when, on the lady's becoming an invalid, she was received into a private house, to enjoy the soothing appliances of a comfortable domestic establishment. By the kind attentions of her host, she partially recovered her health, after much suffering. By this time, the young gentleman had become an inmate of the same house, and all went merrily, till late one even ing, as he was engaged in amusing the family of his host by his musical performances, he was beckoned (by his host out of the room, and was immediately seized with violence by two agents of the police, and dragged to prison. Inquiring the meaning of this most extraordinary proceeding, he was insult ingly told that he was 'an imposter, and a thief.' He was then taken to a place where other myrmi dions of the police were carousing, and there he was exposed to the indignity of having his person pub licly searched like a common malefactor. Left in a solitary cell, to muse over the strange and incom prehensible adventure, and to ponder upon the character of the institutions which tolerated so cruel an outrage on personal iiberty, our hero passed the watches of the night in listening to the moanings of another victim, in a separate cell, whom he dis covered to be his unhappy countrywoman. In the morning the young man was dragged into a court of justice, seeing on his way his wretched com panion, who, apparently in a dying state, was bemoaning, in her native language. the cruel fate which condemned her to such ignominy and suffering. " The young man was brought before the Court. He was accused, along with his companion, of being an imposter. Who his accusers were, never appeared, as the strange formalities of the tribunals guarded them from exposure. True, the host of the former day, and three others who had pre viously patronised the strangers, gave evidence against them. The proceedings of the Court were abruptly terminated by the shocking announcement that the lady who was the principal subject of them had just expired within its precincts. Not satisfied with this catastrophe, as a conclusion of the scene, the Judge proceeded with the examination of the young man, but was soon constrained, from the total absence of all evidence of guilt, to order him to be discharged. The sufferings and indignation of the young Englishman were naturally commen surate with the depth of the disgrace, and the wan tonness of the injury which had been inflicted upon him. Resolved to vindicate his character, and to rescue from dishonour the memory of the unhappy woman who had been summoned to the bar of her Creator, the young man proceeded to consult the lawyers of the country, and to take steps for the public assertion of his innocence and honour. " A public trial took place; the complete blame lesness of _our hero was made clear as noon-day ; the probable innocence of his companion estab lished ; but he found, to his utter amazement, not withstanding this, that the law afforded him no practical redress whatever for the gross injuries which he had suffered, and that he was, in fact, most heavily punished, in the shape of costs, for haying had the hardihood to institute legal pro ceedings for his justification." What, we ask our readers, would have been thought by them of a tale like this, if they had not heard of an exact parallel in the records of passing events at home ? The Hungarian CONSTANT DERRA DE ME RODA is the real hero, the BARONESS VON BECK his fated companion, and BIRMINGHAM the pro vincial town where such violation of hospitality and justice occurred. The report of the trial, last week, at WARWICK, must sound strange in the ears of foreigners, espe cially when they remember how Englishmen boast of the pure, calm, and certain administration of their laws ; and although the Judge did not hesitate to stamp the conduct of the magistrates, through whose neg li ge nce so great a failure of justice took place, as disgraceful and irregular, the apology will hardly suffice to save our tribunals from opprobrium in foreign countries. SERIOUS FIRES AND LOSS OF LIFE.—On Sunday morning, shortly after five o'clock. a fire occurred in the Premises of Mr. J. Worsley, hairdresser, and Mr. Lawrence, bookseller, 75, New-cut, Lambeth. The lower premises were nearly consumed, and those of Mr. Lawrence ex tensively damaged by . fire and water. Police-constable Ireland, 119 of the L division, was seriously injured, and at present remains in a very precarious state.—Another fire took place in the premises of Mr. George Tilbury, green-grocer, No. 11, James-street, Kensington. George Hardiman, 13 years of age, employed by Mr, Tilbury to assist him in his business, and who slept in the basicet room, wag burnt to death. HOSTILE TARIFFS OF FOREIGN COUNTRIES. IT is becoming day by day more apparent that, with respect to one portion of our recent commercial policy, the Free Trade party themselves are begin ning to be dissatisfied. Reciprocal concessions have not been made, as promised, to our Shipowners. British bottoms are still excluded by differential duties from many foreign ports, towards whose shipping we have extended freely the privileges of unfettered trade with Great Britain and her Colonies . Nor have the claims of the manufacturer received more attention from foreign powers,notwithstanding the flattering promises made to them by Mr. COBDEN on his return from his Continental ovation a few years ago. That sanguine class have been only laughed at for their folly in supposing that the powers of Europe would sacrifice their own manu factures to gratify the cotton spinners and calico printers of Lancashire and Yorkshire. The follow ing extracts from a lecture recently delivered before the Society of Arts by Mr. E. POTTER, proprietor of the Dinting-vale Print-works, near Manchester, will serve to show where the shoe pinches. We may presume that Mr. POTTER is a very able man, of high standing in his business, and, we presume, a FREE TRADER :--- " The Zollverein, Austria, and Bohemia produce for their own markets ; and by their protecting duties pre vent any other supply, except of very fine French goods. Their prints are good in execution, imitations of French taste in the finer goods, and of English prints in the medium and lower qualities. Whilst referring to pro tective duties (a subject deeply interesting to the printer), T may just refer to the Z.)llverein. Prussia takes credit to herself for her liberality in not having raised them ,they are very nearly prohibitory). These duties are charged by weight ; a few years ago, when prints were higher priced, we had a trade with her, the duties then being 25 to 30 per cent.; now, on our reduced prices, a print worth Ss. Gd. pays 50 per cent. In Austria the duties are also charged by weight, and on a print at Ss. amounts to SO per cent.—of course a prohibition. The great success of the French printer of late years, and epecially in his fine goods, I attribute greatly (not en tirely) to the greater extent of markets he has for them than ourselves. We are debarred from a considerable part of the demand for fine goods he enjoys. He has our market free, and we are prohibited from his : he gains the chance of sharing in, the supply of our thirty millions of population, in addition to his thirty-five: he has thus the fine trade of sixty-five millions open to him, while we have it only for thirty." How often were these gentlemen, and especially the calico printers, warned that this would be the result of their policy—that the Zollverein would continue to protect their manufactures of coarse fabrics, whilst France would beat them in the finer ones ! If Protection is "a subject deeply interesting to the printer," was it likely to be otherwise to the British agriculturist ? The concluding paragraph is particularly important. The manufacture of the finer description of goods is the most valuable to the country ; and the home market has always taken the greatest portion of those goods. Diminished as that market now is, from the distressed condition of the agricultural community, France, it seems, has secured a large portion of it, in addition to retaining her own, and taking a lead in the supply of foreign markets. CORRESPONDENCE BETWEEN MR. S HOLME AND MR. W. 0. STANLEY, M.P. A CORRESPONDENCE has recently taken place between Mr. S. Holme, late a candidate for Chester, and Mr. W. 0. Stanley, M.P. for that borough, which exhibits in a striking light the superiority in taste and in conduct which may be evinced by a man of no pretension to rank over an aristocratic rival. Mr. Stanley—thanks to the influence of the Grosvenor family—was permitted to be returned for the City of Chester unopposed, Mr. Holme retiring when he saw that, contrary to promise, such influence was being used against him. Most men would have been satisfied to see his adversary retire from the contest ; but Mr. Stanley,—who, it appears. has been compelled to put his hand inconveniently into his pocket, or rather, that being an operation very like pumping a dry well, to incur certain little liabilities in consequence of Mr. Holme's opposition,—felt somewhat sore ; and at the nomination indulged in some personalities of a very character. For example, he remarked : " The contest which was terminated by the placard which you saw this morning published, was begun in de ceit and has ended in falsehood ; for I know well that all those who have canvassed the city of Chester are per fectly satisfied that many of the paragraphs in Mr. Holme's retiring address are grossly untrue. * * * When a party gives up fair means of discussion, and re fuses to adopt what Mr. Holme threatened—coming to the hustings with the sledge-hammer of fair discussion and argument in his hands—and resorts to disgraceful at tempts to injure public character, I must say that such a mode of warfare is disingenuous and disgraceful. * * * I never before saw a contested election sought to be won by the destruction of private character and domestic hap piness." Very naturally, Mr. Holme requested to know what were the grounds of this charge of falsehood and slander made against him ; but the honourable member, in his reply, " declined being led into any correspondence on the past occurrences of the Chester election, which could be productive of no good result." Such a correspond ence, we should imagine, might be productive of the good result of vindicating Mr. Holme's character, or of con victing Mr. Stanley as a reckless libeller. Mr. Holme, in his rejoinder, however, has placed that gentleman in a position of no very enviable description. He says : " Although you ' decline being led into any correspon dence on the past occurrences of the Chester election,' and shield yourself under the evasive plea that no good can result from it,' yet you have not declined' sending to a newspaper my interrogatory letter to form the sub ject of scurrilous comment, nor did you ' decline,' when it suited your purpose. to utter most uncalled for and most unjustifiable slanders, and to make charges which you shrink from proving, because you know well that it is out of your power to do so. Whether such conduct is honourable or consistent I leave others to judge ; but I shall not permit my character to be maligned without exposing the maligner, whatever may be his rank or posi tion." And after having explained the circumstances under which he first came forward as a candidate, and afterwards retired, Mr. Holme concludes as follows : " And now, sir, unpleasant as the task is, regard for my own reputation obliges me to give to your assertions the flattest and most direct contradiction. It may be beneath your dignity to condescend an explanation ; but it is not beneath the dignity of a gentleman to acknow ledge himself in error, or prove that he is in the right. For myself, I shall be glad if the labours which I under took, and the personal vituperation which I have bad to endure, may be the means of directing the people of Chester to their real interests; and I have lived long enough to know that the day of retribution invariably arrives for those who set aside the dictates of honour and justice. For that period I can patiently wait. The day has gone by, when parliamentary representation is to be principally confined to the aristocratic classes ; and you and others will find that we are not to be insulted and maligned because we ask to represent our peers,' and demand a share in those honours and pri vileges which are open to all. Recent events will have shown the citizens of Chester that a man may write ' ho nourable' before his name, and yet be the propagator of calumny ; and that another may belong to the tradesmen class, and yet practise greater courtesy than he receives from his titled opponent." CHAMBER OF COMMERCE. The monthly meeting of the Council was held yesterday, Hugh Hornby, Esq., the president, in the chair. After the routine business had been disposed of, a report was brought up from the Postal Committee, which stated that a mail is now despatched from Liverpool for Edin burgh and Glasgow at 9 p.m., and containing a recom mendation that the Council should communicate with the New York Chamber of Commerce, soliciting the influence of that body with the postal authorities for taking steps to have the letters destined for England sorted, as far as practicable, on their being posted in New York, and stat ing that, to a great extent, that course is adopted here. This, it was thought, would much facilitate the despatch of letters to places beyond Liverpool.—Adopted. A report was read from the Special Committee on the Passengers' Act Amendment Bill, giving the particulars of the alterations procured in that measure.—Also adopted. It was mentioned that the report of the Special Com mittee on Commercial Law and Tribunals of Commerce was now ready, and that it would be submitted for adop tion at a Special Council, to be held previous to the half yearly general meeting. Among on that subject. And from Mr. J. Crawford on the Light Dues at Sincapore , copies of which were ordered gLev i the o n Commercial communications La w were Referred o from Leone Mr. e com mittee to be sent to the E . lst India an d China Association and Shipowners' Association.

THE COUNTY COURT : YESTERDAY. - ThiS court was o pened by Joseph Pollock, Esq., at ten o'clock ; and s oon a tt er wards, his Honour gave Judgment in several cases, reser ved for considerrt i on. The plaint of Blissett v. Alexander and Christi e, fully its .reported during the l as t sit ting, was decided on merits, no opinion b e i ng g i ven on the legal question raised during the trial, whether a brokerthe capta i ni is liable for fth e goods s vessel uLli e e r d d toet consequently,ships on the order for o f the plaintiff. The other cases heard were uninteresting to all but the suitors concerned THE MATRICIDE AT PRENTON BIRKENHEAD NEAR Full particulars of this melancholy case will be found in our seventh page. We learn from further inquiry made on the spot yesterday afternoon that our previous informa tion respecting the family of the deceased is incorrect in me part rst ascertained. We unde e more numerous than we at countries. vated by expensive artificial processes, are to be made to produce as cheaply as the virgin soils of the United States, and of the Steppes of Russia and Poland. So " popular opinion," and the sel fishness of the manufacturing and trading masses, have, for the present, decided. But, if we mistake not, there is already impending over those classes a day of dire retribution for this virtual confiscation of the capital and labour employed in agricultural pursuits Avarice, like ambition, may " overleap itself ;" and we should not wonder if, in the course of a few years, the very parties who have clamoured most loudly for a cheap loaf were to be found the foremost to call out for a reversal of the policy, which has given them that loaf at the cost of the native agriculturist. The avowed object of the parties who first mooted the question of Free Trade, was a reduction of the wages of the operative classes to enable the manufacturer to compete more advantageously with the foreigner. We had constantly paraded before our eyes in the League pamphlets and speeches the low rates of wages paid in the mills and workshope of the Continent, with a view to show the impos sibility of meeting the foreign manufacturer on fair terms. It was said to the farmer—" Turn your arable lands into pasturage; send your sur plus labourers and their families into the manu facturing towns ; and we will employ them all !" Most persons will remember the drafting of a number of Dorsetshire paupers into the manu facturing districts, at the instance of certain mill owners in Stockport and its neighbourhood, and the fate which befel most of these deluded people. The object of the manufacturing body has not, however, been achieved ; and it is found convenient to deny that it was ever entertained. Wages in the manufacturing districts have not declined to any thing like the extent anticipated; and it is import ant, as bearing noon the future prospects of the country, to inquire whether this result can be satisfactorily accounted for. To every one who has been accustomed to mingle with manufacturing populations, it must be well known that they have been from time to time largely reinforced by immigrants from the sister Isle. Nearly half of the spinners and weavers of Lan cashire, Cheshire, and 'Yorkshire are either Irish or of Irish extraction. The supply of labour, how ever, from this source, which for some years had been declining, has almost entirely ceased since the famine years of 1846 and 1847. Emigration from Ireland to this country has, of late years, been only the preliminary step in search of a home amongst the prairies and back-woods of the United States and Canada. As stated in the Emigration Report published last month, " the decrease of the Irish population from 1841 to 1851, was 1,659,330, of whom 1.,289,133 emigrated." The mortality during the famine will account for the balance. From Great Britain and Ireland in the six years from 1840 to 1845, the number of persons who emi grated was 559,078. In the six years from 1846 to 1851, the number had been increased to 1,552,570., or an average of 258,761 persons yearly. Here, then, we have, in part at least, the cause of the maintenance of that rate of wages in the manufacturing districts, which is so often urged by the Free Trade party as a proof of the success of their policy. The labour market has not de clined, because emigration to countries where their industry is protected has been preferred by the dispossessed peasantry of Great Britain and Ire land to the tender mercies of the manufacturing system. To enable us to trace more accurately the future operation of this state of things, we avail ourselves of an extract from an able article in this month's number of Blackwood's Magazine : " The emigration for the first four months of 1852, from the twelve principal harbours of Great Britain. was 103,316; nearly the same as in the corresponding period of last year, when it was 103,280. Since that, in May and June, the emigration, especially to the gold regions of Australia, has greatly increased, and it is now going on at the rate of about 5000 a-week. In all probability the emigration this year will reach 350,000, of which at least 50,000 will be to our distant settlements on the shores of Australia. " There is enough here to make the most inconsiderate pause, and to fill with the most serious reflections every thoughtful mind. From three hundred to three hundred and fifty thousand persons emigrating from a single coun try in a single year, and this at the close of a period of six years, during which the average exodus has exceeded two hundred and fifty thousand a-year ! Such a fact as this would, at any former period of English history, have excited the utmost alarm in the nation ; but so habi tuated have the people become to disaster since the free trade policy began, and so entirely have they got into the habit of looking only to the moment, and disregarding altogether all remote consequences, that it excites no sort of sensation. The annual increase of the population prior to 1845 was usually considered to be 1000 a-day, or 365,000 a-year ; and this was for long a subject of con gratulation and boast. The population returns of 1851, however. showed that, down to the end of 1846, it was only 230,000 a-year. But now, as 330,000 emigrants leave the British shores every year. there is AN ANNUAL DECREASE UPON THE WHOLE OF 100,000 SOULS, and that not of infants, or worn-out persons, but chiefly young men and women in the prime of life." It is perfectly obvious that the manufacturing body have before them the prospect of a gradually contracting supply of labour, which must seriously interfere with all their attempts to economise pro duction ; and this, too, is occurring at a time when the foreigner is eagerly prosecuting manufacturing pursuits, We have not, however, as yet arrived at the full extent of the evil. The decrease of our population is only commencing ; and, to enable us to estimate the effects which a few years will pro duce, we must bear in mind that the loss of every young male and female through emigration involves the loss also of a future family. Bye and bye, if this Exodus continues even at its present rate, — and it is more likely to increase than to remain stationary—we may find our population diminishing at the rate of a million, instead of a hundred thou sand souls, annually ; and not only the supply of labour seriously contracted, but the consuming power of the country diminished to a very con siderable extent. It is this phase in our condition which we regard as pregnant with the most dire calamity both to the manufacturing and commercial interests. If the home market ceases to take otf its usual supplies of manufactured goods and produce whilst the manu facturer has to compete with the foreigner, with dearer labour,wo Way very safely predict that our stand there is an older brother soner holding a resneetabl situation, near , and two or three more sisters in good situations in the neighbourhood The prisoner been, it is said, rather eccentric in:his manner for some months past. Some time ago he was in the service of a gentleman at Oat and one summe evening when he had a party, the prisoner walked int nongst a number of ladies and gentlemer he room about half dressed, and behaved in a manner so strange as to induce the gentleman to dismiss him from his service, but his uniform kindness towards his parent induced her to keep him at home under the impression that, althouh not quite right, he was quite harml THE INQUEST Yesterday afternoon an inquest was held at Prenton on the body, before Henry Churton, Esq., and a respect able jury. The evidence adduced was precisely the same as that given before the magistrates, and the result was a verdict of wilful murder against the prisoner, William Thomas, and a warrant for his commitment was placed in the hands of John Palmer, special high constable of the hundred of Wirral, but the prisoner had already been removed to Chester on the magistrate's warrant. It is only justice to add, that in a matter that has in flicted the greatest pain upon all the immediate neigh bourhood, that the kind conduct of Mrs. Johnson, of Prenton-hall, and the worthy family resident in that old baronial mansion, not only to the deceased during her widowhood, but to the family in their hour of trial and difficulty, is highly commended ; nor should the considerate exertions of the special high-constable pass without a proper and becoming meed of praise, as it is most justly deserved. WHOLESALE VOTE MANUFACTURING A paragraph has been going the round of the papers which states that— " An estate containing between 400 and 500 ac land, situate at Horfield, two miles from Bristol, has just been bought by Mr. Cobden, Sir Joshua Walmsley, and another ant i-corn-law leaguer, for the purpose of creating about 1000 40s. freeholds in 'West Gloucestershire." " Crratinq freeholds I" Of course we know that this has been done in Lancashire and other places to a very considerable extent; but it is surprising that it has never struck the enlightened gentry who are the prime movers in the work that it is one at which more than one party can play. For example, there are hundreds of Conserva tive tradesmen, and others, in this town, who might qua freeholders for half-a-dozen counties if they Hy as 40s thought proper. But a serious question arises, whether, by so doing, they would be acting in the spirit of the Con- Mr. Cobden and Sir Joshua Walmsley are great Reformers ; but what would they say if the Land own stitution ers of Great Britain were to set about such a move ment as would effectually swamp the trading constituen cies in such counties as Lancashire, the West Riding of Yorkshire, Middlesex, &c. ? We should have at once such a storm in every liberal puddle as would " fright the isle from its propriety." Messrs. Cobden and Walmsley may depend upon it, that the proper constitutional pro ceeding is to allow every individual in the community to acquire the franchise, or omit doing so, in a natural way. THE DERBY CONSPIRACY. THE view which we took last week of the attempt to impli cate Mr. Horsfall and the Government in the doings of the " mysterious" bricklayer, Morgan, at Derby, hasbeen fully borne out by subsequent revelations. It is becoming more and more evident that the whole affair has been a conspiracy ; and even the proceedings before the magis trates, which in a free country like this ought to have been open, and accessible to all, seem to have been con ducted more like those of an inquisition than of a consti tutional tribunal. The Derby Mercury of Wednesday says: -- "The course adopted by the local authorities, up to the liberation of Morgan on Thursday, has effectually pre vented any steps being taken to come at the truth. He was incarcerated in gaol, he was subject to repeated secret examinations, and even his legal adviser was denied all access to him ; while every facility for holding converse with the accused, was afforded to the police, who, in their eagerness to advance the interests of the prosecution, have evidently treasured up every scrap of information which their practised skill has enabled them to wring from him. Barring the rack and thumb-screw, the whole affair bears more strongly the impress of the inquisition, than anything we have known in modern times." Such was the indecent eagerness of the radical magis tracy of Derby, who were des?ribed by Mr. Smallwood, the solicitor employed to defend the prisoner, as having " one and all taken an active part in the late struggle, and being partizans of one side or the other, and many of them warm friends of the defeated candidate," to get up a case. Then with respect to Mr. Keogh, the gentle man who was so remarkably discovered for the purpose of swearing that the handwriting of the letter signed W. 8., and of the envelope, was that of Major Beresford. where is he ? Our contemporary says : " That individual is wanted again in Derby. He made a somewhat hasty exit from the police-court, without having signed his deposition, and we believe that finishing stroke to his performance is still needed. It is also strange that the letter which he was called to iden tify bears no date; nor is there any post-mark on the envelope." Again, Messrs. Cox, Brothers, and Company, from whom Morgan declares that he received the money found upon his person, deny all knowledge of the man ; and it is remarkable that neither they, nor the clerk of the course at ShreFsbury, Mr. Frail, although stated to be implicated in the offence committed, have ever had a ques tion put to them. The crowning evidence of the utter falsehood of the charges made against Mr. Horsfall's friends and Major Beresford is contained, however, in the following extract from the speech delivered by that gen tleman to his constituents in North Essex. The gallant major, after alluding to the slanders which were being published against him by the radical press, proceed. ed to say : " I am not going to permit these false accusations to go forward and not to notice them. The proper place, how ever, is not the dinner table here at Braintree, but the floor of the House of Commons. (Cheers.) Still, I am not going to dismiss you quite so quickly. I tell you here that, directly or indirectly, I have had no hand whatever in any case whatsoever of bribery in the borough of Derby. (Cheers.) Further, as to the particulars, I will not go, because, whenever Parliament meets, whether it is mooted on the other side or not, I shall consider it my duty, in my place, to state that these accusations have been made against me, and I shall call on those who made them to prove them. (Loud cheers.) I shall endeavour to have an inquiry into the whole thing, which, I have not the slightest hesitation in saying, will expose bare and broad to the public view as gross a case of conspiracy, combined falsehood, and vile subornation as ever was brought be fore a committee of the House of Commons. (Loud cheers.) Under these circumstances, it would be impru dent to say one word more, because they that can bring false accusations and suborn people to support them, would be ready to meet what I know, if I allowed one scintilla to come out." Surely this ought to be convincing to every man who is not afflicted with the obliquity of vision peculiar to the most bigotted section of the Radical party. From all the rumpus that has been kicked up about this affair, one might be led to conclude that Derby was a place of peculiar purity. Its magistracy and its ultra liberal inhabitants have exhibited on this particular occa sion all the prudery which might have been expected on the discovery of a case of scandal in a nunnery, or amongst a community of old maids. Yet at the election of 1841, when two Radical members were returned, wholes ale per sonation was proved to have occurred. Again, i n 1847, c p e r H o v e e y d w t o h r e t m l , s e w l a v s i e s n t o be on this occasion — so lightly do a portion of the m seem tail f s ranchise—that when our townsman , Mr. w hirh o . eo d ydl : e valueset sooea tool telvh b eobe y nfrae t i tlb h lheeh e ecrat C yßivr h eaew a d r i t e i s a t pl receiv ed srf,oaavcnetdidon before fo r t sh s u e e e n Ip a l r t to o h ri pies a r l bt h rri o icb n ku o l a u ny r a s el r. , to we are told b y th e Mr. constituency Lawren Morgan is—that the money which he had given to him for the purpose of corrupting them would not have lasted him an hour in another place. Either this is a proof that Mr. Heyworth's Radical friends at Derby are corrupt to begin with, or that they do not value very highly his parliamentary services ANNUAL INSPECTION BY THE DOCK COMMITTEE OF THE LIGHT -SHIPS AND LIFE-BOATS.— Yesterday the chairman and members of the Dock Committee, accom panied by his Worship the Mayor and a party of friends paid their annual visit of inspection to the various life boat stations and light-ships. At ten o'clock the party embarked on board a steamer from the south end of the landing-stage and proceeded down the river, being joined opposite Egremont by the Magazines lif, fr y the Formby channel b y the Formb y an. boat.
