Because France cannot repress- the fierce pas sions of her disaffected population—because she cannot banish from before their eyes the blood stained splendours of the revolution and of the empire—because she labours under a plethora of appetite for conflict and triumph, and must be let ting blood—we cannot consent that she shall be allowed to select any portion which she chooses of the earth's surface, upon which to effect an object which the hangsrnan or the headsmen could accom plish with infinitely less sacrifice of human life, and much more certainty of the necessary infliction of punishment falling upon the right heads. Apart from all questions of mere humanity—or even of prudence—and we agree with our contem porary, the London Times, that it is worthy of our consideration, what might be the consequence if, at some future period, an army of 100,000 men, trained in this African warfare, and capable of the atrocity of burning alive those whom they are un able on the instant to reach with the sword :—apart from these considerations, we have a right to ask what business has France to be colonizing in Africa at all. Europe permitted her, and thanked her for the act, to repress the piracies of Algiers, and to root out the pirates from their nest; but we took from her a pledge to abstain from permanent occu pation. Is she grown so mighty now that we dare not remind her of that pledge, and insist upon its fulfilment ? Or are we so cowardly that we are content to owe our own immunity from her assaults to this war which is exhausting her strength, whilst it is desolating Africa ? One or other of these questions must be answered in the affimative, if we do not interfere for the protection of the suffering people of that continent, and for the credit of out raged human nature. e case as The orange movement which has just taken place in Ireland, and the responsive demonstration made last week in Liverpool will, we trust, not be without their effect on ihe public mind; and may even be startling enough to arrest the attention of the pre sent administration. The government organs are evidently sore and uneasy, whilst the organs of Popery—and amongst the rest a distinguished spe cimen in our own town—have been seized with a fit of railing, and almost exhausted the vocabulary of Billingsgate upon the heads of the loyal and dis countenanced supporters of the constitution and the integrity of the empire. By what may be called, so far as orangeism is concerned, the middle party in the country, consisting of those Protestants and Churchmen who, never having known what it was to exercise the duties of their religion with the fear of outrage before their eyes, or to feel the necessity of combination for mutual protection, are averse to this and every description of party display, a just and proper interpretation has nevertheless been put upon the proceedings of the body in both countries. Such men have opened their eyes to the fact that, in Ireland especially, and in England wherever Popery has fixed its unruly masses, Protestants have been, and are day by day being, driven to a display of their strength and union, as a measure of defence, and of precaution against coming violence. They cannot but feel that, as religionists, their feelings have been outraged and their loyalty proscribed; and in men so situated, the reflecting portion of Englishmen are willing to pardon proceedings which, in some degree, violate their own notions of propriety, and which they themselves do not, and because the necessity for them has never arisen, they think they could not be driven to practise. required by a ri stated " not at TUESDAY AlO RN 11 the it affray ha ten days party to been offe upon the victims of the Ballinhassig after a protracted sitting of effort has been made by the Popish d to intimidate ; evidence has aartv of police, which urinated, to criminate ti ad without being at once amazed 'n court of inquiry has been e of a bear garden ; bar ich other which should he attendant peasan t the materials for ex dependent jurymen e twenty-three summoned upon the had the manliness to return a verdict o their conscier' ,'—one such as 7 man who s read the evidence t of " justifiable made to w risters t try the dtemen out of ed ; a s 'ear the appea contended with e jury and ti et fourteen in inquest oily.

QU, JULY 22, 1845 Lied In _ ..gard this nation as a civilised` nation. The governments and people of civilised Europe have looked passively on for years, whilst she has been luxuriating in a war of extermination in un happy Africa, where her conduct has been charac terised by atrocities too hideous to contemplate. We have read the vaunting bulletins, in which her marshals have gloried over villages burnt, harvests ruined, and thousands of men, women, and chil dren slaughter ed ; and where has been the protest Yet we r which snould have rung throughout Europe against such an unheard of system of warfare ? Where has been the boasted philanthropy of England in ,particular, whose sentimental tears have flowed in s before the overwrought picture of a hard d planter and a flogged negro ? Alas, our I virtue and humanity have miraculously The criminal here was a great nation, Dbnoxious class of our fellow subjects ; and we have therefore remained silent. The echoes of Exeter-hall have slept; and no Clarkson or Gur o Buxton or Brougham—has risen to ask, name of the unhappy victim of French savagerie, " Am I not a man and a brother? " We have accustomed ourselves to regard Algeria as a kind of safety valve for the escape of the unruly valour of la jeune France,—a natural drain for her fierce scoundrelism—and its miserable yet gallant population as so many insensate effigies of men, upon which her soldiers could flesh their swords, without disturbing the serenity and the peace of her neighbours. We have handed over to her tender mercies_ the wild followers of Abd-el-Kader, with the same feeling which would prompt us to give a savage boy a reptile to torture, that he might not torr hea boas faileu u and not a employ his leisure in tormenting a human being; and we have only revolted at last when the cruelty I has been too monstrous for contempla- practi Is this state of things, we ask, to continue ? Are we still to look on unmoved whilst a whole people are being savagely slaughtered, to feed the vanity of conquest and the appetite for blood of an unstable and intractable nation ? We submit, not. If Eng land and Europe tamely consent to allow these butcheries to go on without intervening their indig nant voice to stay them, they will become, morally, participators with France in the enormous guilt which characterises them. It will not avail that this particular—this crowning --atrocity should be visited with national reprobation. It will not excul pate us to wreak our execration upon the Colonel— Pellisier—by whose orders and under whose sur veillance it was perpetrated. The policy which dic tated it is that of the French Government—a policy based upon the necessities of the present dyn a sty of that country : Colonel Pellisier has[only gone a little beyond the letter of his instructions and intro- ' duced a little romantic variety into the mode of carrying out his object. His end was extermina tion of the enemy, and the legitimateinstruments were the musket and the sword. The Colonel has been able to achieve that object as well, and to gra tify the pallid appetites of his ferocious soldiery at the same time by the novel spectacle of a The views of this party have been so ably ex pressed by the London Times, an authority not to to be suspected of any leaning to orangeism, that we do not scruple to extract them here:— _ _ "The solution - of this painful fact is to he found by considering the real object of these processions. They are not so much a triumph as a precaution. Notwith standing their historical character, they are prospective. The operations of genuine war bear a triumphant aspect, but it is only the fair disguise with which men cover the gravest and saddest of human intentions. So it is, we believe an orange , with the showy and vain-glorious ceremonials of miversary. We do nr,t rate the ethical graces or the common sense of the Irish Pro very high, but we do not place it so low— stant party so entirely at ) suppose that its object 4 that gratification which is necessarily min of the vanquished. To sanctify the odious ions of a civil war—to remember a victory at the interval of a century and a half—to recall that for that period a nation has been at the feet of the conqueror—to by a do this when the conqueror - is one-seventh of the popula- year the ancient sore of British interference—and, lastly, to suggest to the civilised world how long and to how little purpose Ireland has been England's booty, are all acts of mere insanity—nay, insanity is a mild and apolo getic word to express a course for which no parallel can be found in the worst corruptions of either Christian or heathen society, excepting only on one supposition, viz., that proceedings otherwise so absurd and so gratuitously offensive, are felt to be a necessary demonstration of strength. The Protestant party lives with a rebellion hanging over its head. It is, or what comes to the same thing, it believes itself to be, the British garrison in an unfriendly, h —1 and d Jecause a conquereu .egraded country, It is, therefore, most delicately sensitive of the vacillations of Irish prosperity, Irish contentment, and Irish allegi- indication of a comirg storm. The revival of orange processions is a precautionary movement, suggested by the instinct of self preservation. There is deep truth in these observations, both as applied to orangeism in Ireland, and in England as wcll. Orangemen are not banded together to gloat over the memory of past triumphs. Their object is not to irritate or to taunt their opponents, but to show alike to them and to the fainting and dis couraged members of their own faith, that they are still resolved to defend that faith, and the liberties which have been guaranteed to them, from the hand of aggression. " The revival of orange processions is a precautionary movement, suggested by the instinct of self-preservation." We may ourselves, and do deprecate orange processions, in Ireland as well as in England. But we cannot shut our eyes to the long course of for bearance which Orangemen have submitted to, without a murmur, amidst provocations the most insulting, and betrayal the most signal and glaring. Have not the tolerance which has been shown to rebelliou, agitation, and the abandonment to its insolent dictates of stronghold after stronghold of those institutions which their fathers built up, and which they have themselves been taught to revere, proclaimed to them trumpet-tongued, the fact that it is to their own hands that they must ultimately trust for protection ? Have not the threats of demagogues, and the avowed organization of their followers, for treasonable objects—have not many a deed of blood shed with impunity, and the fear of many more to come, taught them that the day may arrive, and is perhaps not far distant, when they will he called upon to decide Whether they will submit to he exterminated, one by one, by the knife, or by the bullet of the midnight assasin, or take their lives into their own keeping, since the law no longer performs its duties ? They have been so tu;ht by bitter experience. They have a right to come to these conclusions. If they are wrong, or if they have demonstrated their resolves prema turely, be the onus of whatever unhappy results have followed, or remain to follow, upon the heads of those statesmen who hold out the hand of con ciliation, and almost of fraternization, to their enemies, and the enemies of the British connexion, and of the Church of the religion of their fathers, whilst they discourage and frown upon loyalty and truth. If Sir Robert Peel and his colleagues want to disarm Orangemen of their fears, and to repress their precautionary attitude, let them hold the scales of justice more evenly—let them GOVERN Ireland, repre s its tumults, put down the demagogues whose exciting appeals convulse it, break up its Ribbon concla es, and render the law one in which a Protestant may hold his life, his property, and his religious faith, without the fear of outrage; and, depend upon it, neither the Viceregal-lodge nor Downing-street will be startled with another orange demonstration in Ireland or in England. The choice of two courses is before them; and, however their hireling press may rail at the orange body, or Popery wince at the undue precipitation of the crisis, the necessity of their position is of their own bringing about. Government must either resolve promptly upon the course which we have above pointed out; they must eitliQr maintain the integrity of the empire and its Protestantism, and put down violence and sedition in Ireland, by the strong arm of the law; or they must leave the two terises his ordinary ministrations. Therefore it is. that we have .advanced a claim upon him for something further still ; and this, the rather, that we have reason to believe him to be already engaged upon a work which formed the substance of his Thursday evening lectures for a portion of last winter in St. Jude's, on the Church. A work on such a subject, argued on Scrip+ural grounds, developed and adjusted into thelulness of Scrip tural integrity and proportion, in addition to its peculiar seasonableness at the present crisis, would be sure to find a speedy and a lasting level among the standard and established text books of our divinity classes. Such a work as this, and nothing short of it, we ex- pect from Canon M'isieile : and we are not without sanguine hopes that bearing on its title page the endorse ment of a dignitary in the church, it may find entr krice and welcome in quarters, where else it had been over looked, while it proceeded simply from the incn:nbent of St. Jude's, or even of St. Paul's, Prince's park. We have mentioned that these honorary canonries are offices created under the act passed at the recommenda. tion of the Ecclesiastical Commissioners for Increasing the Endowments of Small Livings, by appropriating to them, as they fall vacant, the funds of the old canonries. Of these new offices, ten are in the gift of the Bishop of Chester, two of which are to be appropriated each year until the whole are disposed of. The first two were con- ferred last year, one upon the Chancellor Ra , kes, and the other upon the Rev. Mr. Thurlow, rector of Malpas— both unexceptionable appointments. The third has been conferred upon the Rev. H. M'Neile, and marks the high rank which he holds in the esteem of his venerable dioce san. We are informed that the letter of the bishop, in closing the appointment, was one of so highly gratifying the rev. gentleman, and certainly to endear to him the more both the giver and the gift. It is stated that the fourth appointment is to be conferred upon the Rev. Hugh Stowell, of Manchester—a kindred spirit. The installation, as we have stated,took place on Sunday, in the cathedral, Chester. The reverend gentleman him. self read prayers, immediately after which the ceremony of collation was gone through (the Archdeacon of Chester officiating) with great impressiveness. As some•wrong impressi ns may poss'bly arise with respect to the duties of the new office, we may state that the reverend canon will not have the regularity of his ministrations here sensibly impaired. His new office will entitle him to a vote in the chapter of the diocese, which we know will be employed_ for the advancement of the church and the honour of God in the land ; and he will, from time to time, have an opportunity of pouring out his powerful testimony to the truth from the pulpit of Chester cathedral. This notice has far exceeded our intended limits. We congratulate Mr. M`Neile on this first step in the path of deserved promotion. We rejoice in common with the entire circle of his friends—a circle that is only bounded by the limits of an extensive acquaintance. We . attempt not to praise him ; he needs no commendation of ours ; his praise is in all the churches ; his true and sure reward will be in the fruits of his labours, acknowledged and ac cepted in the day of the Lord Jesus. We tender our most respectful thanks to our good bishop, for the prin ciple he has affirmed in this appointment, as well as for this additional Mond of willing obligation, by which he has secured our affection and esteem. We congratulate the Church in general, upon the accession to her highest ranks of the eminent individual, who reflects more lustre upon his station, than the highest office in her adminis tration, could now by possibility confer upon him. LAST NIGHT'S MAIL. Lord Canterbury (late speaker of the House of Com mons, then Mr. Manners Sutton,) expired yesterday af ternoon, (Monday,) in a fit of apoplexy. The preamble of the South Western London Extension Railway Bill was yesterday declared proved by the Lords Committee.

The accounts from several parts of the country represent the Wheat as badly set, and suffering from maggot, in consequence of which there was rather more inquiry for bonded and f.o.b. cargo. s. and in the sales effected 2s. above the rates of last Monday were ohtdined. In Barley, Beans, and Peas, we observe no alteration.

ME LIVERPOOL STANDARD. ' contending parties in that country to settle the questions at issue between them, with their own hands. It may be a startling announcement to some, that this is our position—that we have only to choose between a reversal of our present policy towards Ireland, or the horrors of a civil war—but the fact is so, nevertheless, and, if there is any such thing as historical analogy, the time is not far distant when choice will be no longer within our reach. We ask, therefore, of all reflecting English men, to temporize no longer—to . look the hazards of our national position in the face—and, to be prepared. CHESTER CATHEDRAL-REV. CANON MiNEILE On Sunday last, the installation took place in Chester Cathedral, of the Rev. Hugh M'Neile, into the Canonry, to which, our readers will be glad to learn, he has been appointed by the pious and distinguished bishop of the diocese. The office is merely honor .rv, since the endow- ments belonging to it, agr - e'eahly to late arrangements, have lapsed to the Ecclesiastical commissioners. How ever we may regret that this is the case, on account of the eminent individual upon whom the honour has been con ferred, our feelings of gratitude and respect are un diminished towards the good bishop to whom he is indebted for it. An apppointment like this, of one, who has laboured faithfully and consistently for upwards of a quarter of a century in his great Master's service, and which isbestowefl upon him by the very person (his own diocesan), most competent from opportunity and observation, to pronounce upon the value and fidelity of his services to the church in general, and his own diocese in particular, brings us back upon the recollection of the wise object for which such posts of dignity and emolument were first created in our Ecclesiastical polity. Viewed in this light, the appointment in question appears alike creditable to the bishop, as it must be gratifying to Mr. M`Neile him self. By this act, the bishop lends the sanction of his bonoured name in the face of the whole country, to the course Mr. M`Neile has pursued, patiently, honestly, openly and laboriously, through good report and evil— more especially through the eleven troublous and eventful years, during which his lot has been cast in St. Jude's ; and, on the other hand, Mr. M'Neile must receive it with the sweetest of all imaginable accompaniments,—the inward consciousness that it has been well deserved. It was to reward merit of this kind that provision was first made for such offices in the cathedral establishments of our church ; and so long as appointments to them were influenced by such considerations as have led to this, over which we now rejoice, they were hailed by the universal respect and gratitude of the nation and the church. The amount of their endowments was felt to be as nothing compared with the advantages arising to society from the learning and piety of the men who first filled them, not to speak of that instinctive desire that every Englishman feels to see a deserving servant advanced in proportion to his merit. It is to these offices of dignity and endowment in the church that we are indebted for the learned labours of the Tillotsons, the Taylors, the Us hers, Butlers, Barrows, Burnets, Sherlocks, Magees, &c. &c.. who, though dead, still speak. It is to a similar exercise of a wise and discriminating vigilance on the part of the good Bishop Barrington, of Durham, that we owe the first eleva tion of the Bishop of Chester himself to the prebendal stall which he holds in Durham cathedral, as well as that of his learned colleagues, Drs. Townsend and Gilly, and others, whose fame must be commensurate and coeval with the literature and the piety of their church and country. Associations of this kind were 'uggested to our mind when we first heard of Mr. M'Neile 's nomination to the canonry in question. Posterity has a claim on him for some more lasting memorial of his learning, piety, and ex perience, than any that the pressure of urgent engagement s has yet allowed him to produce. In writing thus, we do not for a moment forget what Mr. M'Neile bas already written and published, still less are we disposed either to retract or qualify the meed of humble approval with which from time to time we announced the appearance of the Lectures on Jewish Prophecy, the Second •Advent of our Lord, and his last work on the sympathies of Christ; but still we affirm, that a stranger, judging of Mr. M`Neile only from these publications—albeit high the estimate he must form—would conceive, notwithstanding, a very ina , dequate notion of the amount of Scriptural knowledge and Bibl?cal erudition, coupled with a depth of Christian ex perience and sanctified power which invariably charac- LIVERPOOL JULY SESSIONS The sessions of the peace for this borough commenced Yesterday, before Gilbert Henderson, Esq., the recorder. The calendar contained the names of eighty-four prisoners charged with felony, and twenty-four for misdemeanors, including about twelve of the parties charged with riot and disturbance on the 6th instant. Of the whole, it is noted that thirty-seven can read and write imperfectly ; five can read and write well; twenty-seven can read imperfectly ; and thirty-nine can neither read nor write. The follow ing gentlemen were sworn of the Grand Jury : Charles Hodgson Horsfall, Vauxhall-road,ironfounder, Foreman Charles Armstrong, Exchange-street east, merchant. William Bates, North John-street, merchant. Thomas Brancher, junr. Tithebarn-street, commission agent, &c. Samuel Marshall Bully, Chapel-street, cotton broker. Henry Glazebrook, India-buildings, iron merchant. John Higson, Exchange-alley north, broker. John Began, Mersey-chambers. merchant. John Lister, Nether field-road south, gentleman. Daniel Dsnnill Maddock, Everton village, gentleman. Thomas_Rowlandson Robinson Hatton-garden, wine merchant. Thomas Vincent Higgins, Tabley-street, iron merchant. John Harnett, Fenwick-street, corn broker. Ilarmood Walclt Banner, North John-street, accountant. William Taylor, Great Homer-street, brewer. Daniel Simmins, Cleveland-square, drysalter. The usual proclamation having been read, The RECORDER addressed the grand jury. He said in effect that the calendar on this occasion contained the names of eighty-two prisoners for felony, and twenty-two for misdemeanour, and considering that but nine weeks had elapsed since the last sessions, this number appeared to be large. Most of the cases for stealing, however, in volved but small amounts of property, the only exceptions being a case of £2O, and another of £l5. Their attention would also be called to one rather serious case of em bezzlement. In two cases articles had been removed, but not taken away, and it would be for them to consider the intent, and deal with them accordingly. In two other cases in which money was taken.—in one a half-sovereign, and in the other some copper—the circumstances were some what remarkable. In one of these cases the police were watching in the house, and apprehended two of the pri soners (as we understood him); two others were after wards taken outside the p emises, and it would be for the jury to consider whether these patties who knocked at the door did so with a view to join the others within, and par ticipate with them. If so, they were clearly amenable as regarded the offence. In the misdemeanors there was no charge they w( uld find any difficulty in disposing of. But there were several charges of assaults on constables, while in the exercise of their duty. Now, if officers on any oc casion acted wrongly, or exceeded their proper line - of duty, redress was to be had, and when they were proved to be in fault, their punishment would fo!low. There were several cases of riot and disturbance, that took place on the sth of July, near Great Crosshall-street. If any of the prisoners charged took an active part in these dis turbances, orjoined those wh o c r ea t e d t h em, t h ey b ecame responsible for the offence of riot. It appeared that a funer=al procession was moving along, and that many of those forming it wore favours or badges, shewing them to belong to a particular party, and which produced excite ment amongst others of opposite opinions. A division to.,k place amongst them, and a small body of the police got between them, and showed great gallantry in averting a serious collision. Had they not done so, bloodshed might have ensued, as there were several hundreds of persons on both sides greatly exasperated against each other. Differences in religious principles existed amongst different parties, and it was not improper that they should be entertained, or that (as we understood him to imply) they should be conscientiously maintained in a peaceable manner : but it was extremely desirable that persons should forbear, individually and collectively, from giving umbrage to others by unnecessary and useless parade of their peculiar opinions. He alluded to the present law that shortened elections, and provided numerous polling booths, in order to prevent collisions or dis turbances ; and he hoped those who led political par ties in the town would act in the same spirit of modera tion, by restraining their followers, and thus prove them selves the friends of peace and good order. They would thus do more service to society, and better deserve the esteem of their fellow-countrymen, than by any idle public display. He repeated, that it was clear, in the case before them, that if the police had not vigorously interfered, the most serious consequences would probably have ensued. It was to be doubted whether a funeral was a proper occasion for any such dis play]; but certainly no good man would, whatever his own opinion, interrupt such a procession. H eying thus alluded to this subject, he hoped he should not have occasion to revert to it. The remainder of the charge conveyed the usual directions for the guidance of the jurors, as to the evidence to be laid before them, and the conclusions they should come to upon it. The jury then retired, Several true bills for felony were soon after brought in, and the trials proceeded, but no case of interest, beyond the usual routine of offences, was disposed of during the GRATIFYING SOIREE IMPORTANT MEETING OF THE WINE AND SPIRIT TRADE. SMITHFIELD MARKET-YESTERDAY The beef trade—as was the case on Friday last—ruled in active, at a decline in the currencies obtained on this day senni _lit of 2d per Slbs ; the highest figure for the best Scots not exceeding 48. 2d. per Sib:, and at which a clearance was not effected. Compared with those exhibited at corresponding periods last year, the numbers of sheep were small—the falling off in them being about 7,0u0 bead. Prime old Downs commanded a steady demand. et fully last week's quotations. In other kinds only a moderate business was doing at late rates. In the quality and condition of the sheep, a slight improvement was apparent. The supply of Lambs was but moderate, while the Lamb trade was tolerably steady, at previous figures, which ruled from ss. to 6s. per 8 lbs. For Calves we have had a very slow inquiry, and, in some in Manses. the prices had a downward tendency. The Pork trade was very dull at last week's currencies. PRICES OF STOCKS, &C.-YESTERDAY. The public securities have been rather quiet to-day, and there is but little movement in prices. Consols have been steady at gn to pp/ for account, and there have been bargains officially notified for present transfer, at cg to ggi. The premium on Exchequer Bills has been 575. to 555.; Bank Stock is nominal ; and India Stock has been steady at 275. The New 3i per Cents are io to 14)24, and three per Cents 991 to 99a. East India Bonds are 71s. prem. LATEST FROM MADRlD.—Madrid papers have been received up to the 14th instant. At Barcelona, the Con scription had been drawn without disturbance. Concha had entered Tarragona on the morning of the 9th. The insurgents had left the place. In Sabadell, the number killed were forty, and sixty made prisoners. Of the troops, an officer and six soldiers were killed, with two horses. On Friday evening last, Joseph B. Yates, Esq., as President of the Literary and Philosophical Society, gave a splendid soiree to the members, and to many other gentlemen disti n gui s h e d f or th e ir lit era ry and scientific attainments. Amongst the gentlemen present were the Rev. Dr. Shepherd, the Rev. Mr. Nolan, the Rev. Mr. Hesketh, the Rev. J. Martineau, and the Rev. Mr. Hampton ; Sir Arnold Knight, Dr. French, Dr. Carson, Dr. Brett, Mr. J. Banner, Messrs. R. V. Yates, Samuel Thompson, R. Clay, Spencer, Walmsley, Spence, S. Holme, Alfred Higginson, and amounting in the whole to nearly one hundred. The beautiful grounds of the dingle were thrown open at at an early period of the evening, and nothing could excel the richness of the scene when the beams of the full moon were refl?cted upon the water ►hrough the luxur ant foliage of the dell which intervenes between the mansion and the river. The various works of art, which the elegant taste of the President had collected together, were all produced, and a most delightful evening was passed, rendered doubly pleasant by the kind attentions of Mrs, Yates and the family. At ten o'clock, a splendid banquet was prepared, of which the company partook in sections, and where the health of the host was proposed, and most feelingly responded to. On few occasions has the writer had the happiness to witness a reunion of so much intelligence and scientific worth; and, after an evening of unusual enjoyment, all took their departure, gratified by the urbanity and hospi tality which had been so liberally displayed. THE WEATHER AND THE CROPS (THIRD NOTICE.) After a succession of showery weather, which con.. siderably prolonged, and occasionally threatened the bay harvest, but was happily but partial, we have for the past ten days experienced a genial and delightful change. Last week we had the finest of summer weather, which has greatly improved the appearance of the growing crops, and particularly the corn, now in full ear, and progressing towards maturity. The wheat, in particular, which sometime ago seemed in rather a critical state in various localities, shows much improvement, and with a few weeks of equal sun and warmth, bids fair to be a full average crop. Some of the fields have already assumed a tinge of yellow. The spring corn-oats and barley, with a con tiluance of the same weather, will undoubtedly yield above the average of several preceding years. The hay crop is on all hands allowed to be the most abundant for many years past ; and it is now, for the most part, secured in good condition in the stack. Turnips and potatoes are also going on beautifully. In fine, all field crops give promise of unusual abundance, and (thanks to propitious weather and improved cultivation) the country throughout is arrayed in a garb of verdure of a echness and lux itriance, seldom, if ever, surpassed in this generally fickle and precarious climate. Butcher's meat, however, still remains high, and retailers complain of the high wholesale prices maintained, but a fall is anticipated. On Saturday, the thermometer stood at 72 dg. in the shade. Sunday and yeste day were also delightful days, with a bright sun, and a high temperature, though not extraordi narily so for this time of the ye tr. At five o'clock yester day afternoon, the thermometer stood in the sun at 74 degrees, with a clear sky, and the barometer indicating be tween " fair," and " set fair." ARRIVAL OF THE WEST INDIA MAIL The royal mail steam-ship Tweed arrived from the West Indies at Southampton, on Sunday, with 73 passen- The crops are stated to be good in all the islands. At Jamaica the season had commenced remarkably well. The Hill Coolies continue to give the highest satisfaction. All the islands are unusually healthy. We have Jamaica papers to the 23d of June, by which we learn the cessation of the unusually wet weather, and the change to brilliant sunshine. The business of sugar manufacture had recommenced, and the crops will show a considerable increase over that of last year. The de mand for labour still continues; the parish of Vere, which made less than 900 hogsheads last year, will pro duce upwards of 3,500 this ; although this must not be taken as a general rule, there will be a fair increase in every parish, and with equally favourable prospects for the next year. The railroad from the city to Spanish Town is likely to be opened on the Ist of October. ROYAL AGRICULTURAL SOCIETY.—The proceedings of the meeting, held this year at Shrewsbury, terminated on Saturday, and have been of an interesting character. The meeting next year is to be held at Newcastle-upon- Tyne. The meeting at Shrewsbury has brought forward a good display of Herefords ; and it is hoped that at New castle they will be equally successful in bringing forward Cheviots. To induce such a result, the prizes have been increased in amount. In the short-horns, the prize for the best bud, vs bich was this year £3O, is advanced £4O, the other prizes for short-horns remaining the same. The prize for the best bull of Herefords is also advanced from £3O to £4O, the others remaining the same. In the Devons the same change takes place; and in " cattle of any breed" the prize is advanced from £2O to £25. The prize for the best stallion for agricultural purposes is raised from £3O to £lO this year. In the Leicesters and long-woolled sheep, the first prize is also in each case ad vanced from £3O to £4O. The first prize for pigs is ad vanced from £lO to £l5 ; and that of sheep adapted to a mountain district from £l5 to £2O. An auction of stock took place on the termination of the proceedings at Shrewsbury ; but, owing to the meagre attendance, few bona" fide sales took place, and those at low prices, par ticularly sheen. Pigs were sold at a fair price, and went off readily. The total numbers attending the show during the three days were 15,676 persons, giving as the amount of their admission money £1,497 towards defraying the expenses of the meeting. A general meeting of the wine and spirit trade of this port was held at twelve o'clock yesterday, (Monday,) in the Clarendon Rooms, for the purpose of taking necessary measures for the protection of their interests. There was not a very numerous attendance, but nearly all the large importers were present. The chair was taken by Wm. Dixon, jun., Esq., president of the Association of Wine and Spirit Merchants. The CHAIRMAN said the first object of the meeting was to obtain a return of the duty paid upon small packages of wine between the 22d January, when an order from the treasury put a stop to the exemption for waste, and the Bth of April, when, by reiterated remonstrances, they succeeded in getting the exemption restored. The se cond object was to have placed under legislative protec tion the immunities which they had succeeded in obtain ing bit by bit ; not only, indeed, to place,those immuni ties under legislative protection, but also to exempt from the payment of duties the whole of the waste and evapora tion in spirits and wines whilst under her Majesty's locks, as well, also, to get quit of those fiscal impediments which clogged and retarded the commercial operations of the trade. In one word, the trade of this port sought to be placed on the same footing as that in London. Too long had they submitted patiently to play " second fiddle " to London ; too long had they been subjected to unfair tax ation and bowed with patience to the yoke which, with oppressive weight, had been unjustly inflicted upon them. He said " unjustly," because they were called upon to i n the London bins. without greater scale single le valid o fdu reason ty beingthan assignedthe tice. What d i ff erence did it ma k e, as regarded revenue, whether wines and spi r it s were i mporte d i nto L ondon or pay a g the outports? A fallacious reason had been given for the favour shown to London, namely, that the bonded stores there were surr oun d e d by walls, and that the im ports therein deposit e d b e i ng so protecte d , di d not expe rience the wastage that occurred in the outports, which did not possess these impervious mural protections. When invidious and injurious distinctions were made, it was only natural to expect an endeavour should be made to ascertain whether what was assumed was the fact ; in this instance it could readily have been done, and on reference to the Custom-house books it would have been found that the wastage in these favoured London stores was greater by two per cent. than at the port of Liverpool. (Hear.) So conclusive was this fact, that Lord Althorp, when Chancellor of the Exchequer, said he would grant the treasury minute for a return of the duty whenever it was applied for; and further, when Lord Sandon referred in the house to the same documents proving this, the go vernment granted permission for the outports to be placed with regard to colonial spirits upon the same foot ng as London : namely, entire exemption from duty on wastage in bond. But the object was to obtain an exemp tion from payment of duly upon the wastage of all wines and spirits in bond. Since November, 1833, when the exemption in favour of brandy was conceded, the trade had fared somewhat better ; but they bad paid the duty for the previous eleven years, and, he contended, they were as justly entitled to the return of that duty, as they were to twelve 'peace to a shilling. The ground upon which the duty had been charged had been proved, by the evidence of the Customs' books to be untenable, hollow, and not to be maintained. This, however, was not the time to enter upon that subject, but when the time did arrive he would gladly devote the energies of his mind to obtain a restitution of what, he did not hesitate to say, had thus been wrongfully abstracted from their pockets. It would be recollected that on the 10th of August, 1814, the committee of the association memorial ized the Lords of the Treasury to return the whole of the duty on the waste upon wines. The scale of allow ance was totally inadequate. No reply was received, al though two letters were written, until the 22d January last, when a treasury minute came down, cutting off the allowance upon small packages which had before been granted. The committee immediately remonstrated, and on the Bth April they received a document which seemed to give general satisfaction, covering the whole of the natural waste upon wines, and certainly restoring what had before be. n taken away. He conceived, under these circumstances, they were fully entitled to a return of the duty which they had been compelled to pay. It might appear a very small matter, but he knew one house where it amounted to above £3O. On the 11th April, 1845, a memorial was sent up to the Treasury re questing the return of the deities so over paid in reference to the scale laid down for Lont'on ; and on the 11th May, following a letter was received from Mr. Cardwell, under secretary of the treasury, stating that the application had been laid before the lords of the treasury, and he was commander'. to say that their lordships declined to antho rize a return of duty upon wipes which had been removed from the custody of the officers of the customs. The chairman then referred to the second object of the meet ing, and stated that on the sth of April, 1844, a meeting of the committee of the association was held, at which it was unanimously resolved " that it is highly desirable to endeavour to obtain during the present session the inser tion of a clause in some - public bill before parliament, the effect of which should be to place under legislative en actment the immunities now granted by the Lords of the Treasury to brandy, namely exemption from payment of duty on wa-toge and natural evaporation whilst under her majesty's locks." This was asking for that which was done in the case of rum. The chairman then read a long letter he had addressed to Lord Sandon, setting forth the grounds, principally those of justice, upon which this claim was urged by the Liverpool trade, arid be men tioned—to prove that he had comparatively little interest iu the matte:—that in the case of his own house the whole amount t ken into stock was taking the acnual average, of rum 220 gallons, brandy 114 gallons, other spirits 276 gallons, and wine 196 gallons. Alter that it appeared there had been a good deal of correspondence between Lord Sandon, Mr. Wainwright of the Liverpool office (in London,) and the chairman, with the view of procuring an interview with the Chancellor of the Exchequer, in order to impress upon his mind the equity of the applica tion, but the Cha nce ll or, i t appeared, declined the pro posal, and the matter rested in this state till about a fort night ago, when he (the chairman) perceived that Sir Robert Peel had announced his intention to bring for ward, during the present session, a bill to consolidate the various customs' regulation acts of the last 13 years. He instantly wrote to Lord Sandon expressing his con viction that a more favourable oppportunity could not occur for making, by legislative enactments, the duties upon brandy, geneva and wines payable only upon the quantity delivered for consumption ; and stating he did not apprehend much opposition from the right hon. bart., as the principle had been expressly recognised with regard to rum by the 3 & 4 Wm. IV., c. 57, section 19; and that the same principle was applied in the case of brandy, geneva, and wines by ordersof the Treasury Board. To this letter he had received a reply from Mr. Wain wright, which letter was the principal cause of the meet ing being held, as it was desirable to know what the trade would do under present circumstances. The Chairman then read Mr. Wainwright's letter, which was dated the 16th inst. It stated that Lord Sandon had received the Chairman's letter, and his lordship desired a letter to be enclosed, which lie had received from the private Secre ary of the Chancellor of the Exchequer as follows : " In reference to Mr. Dixon's letter of the sth inst. I am desired to state in reply, that the. Customs bill to be introduced is proposed to be a consolidation of the Custom's lass, and it is not intended by the government to introduce any new provision into it as to warehouses not of special security. '—'tA hy, this was the very point he (the Chairman) had be gan b y demo n stra ting to the Chancellor of the Exchequer at his interview with him in August, 1843, when he proved that the warehouses in Liverpool were superior in point of safety to those in London. Yet here came an under-secretary saying that because the Liverpool warehouses were not of special security this reasonable request could not be granted ! If Sir Robert Peel intended his proposed bill to be per fect and conclusive : and if the request could be shown to be an improvement he could not refuse to acceed to it, but if the trade sat down without making an effort now any application afterwards would come from them with a very bad grace. Mr. BRANDRETH remarked that the government did: not seem to be aware of the difference between practical and theoretical security. They seemed to think that theo retical security, in the case of London, was as good as practical security in Liverpool. The security in Liver pool was, for all practical purposes, as good as that in London. Mr. GARDNER stated that a legislative enactment to the effect sought for, would save much trouble. Not a week passed but application vvs made to the collector here, for allowance on extra wastage in brandies, and they were instantly granted. The CHAIRMAN had no hope from the Chancellor of the Exchequer, but he was satisfied that in ten minutes Sir R. Peel would he convinced of the justice of the appli cation. If the exemption was made by law in favour of rum, why not in favour of brandy ? Mr. GARDNER pointed out that the present system was an impediment to business, besides causing great annoyance The CHAIRMAN here alluded incidentally to Mr. Wainwright's valuable services in their cause. After some conversation upon the necessity of a depu tation being sent up, a motion was made by Mr. JOHN SMITH, and seconded by Mr. BROUGH, that the chair man be requested to proceed to London as early as con venient, to forward the objects of the meeting. Mr. R. W. PRESTON explained, that the great object of the deputation would be to obtain the insertion, in some legislative act, of that which now depended upon the ca price of the Lords of tile Treasury. What was now granted to the trade, in the matters spoken of, was not granted because it was the law of the country ; it de pended upon a mere order from the Treasury, and the same power that granted the order could refuse it. An act of abstraction on the part of any one unprincipled dealer, might cause the Treasury to withdraw such orders altogether, thus making all to suffer for the delinquency of one ; but if it were part of an act of parliament, not all the caprice of the Treasury or the Customs, could alter the law. Mr. J. SMITH—It would also dispense with daily memorials ; which, at present, are a great source of trouble to us. The motion was then carried unanimously. On the motion of Mr. R. W. PRESTON, seconded by Mr. WM. PRESTON, it was also resolved, that Mr. Moore, the Chairman of the Bristol Association, be re quested to join Mr. Dixon, as the deputation to London. The meeting then separated, after a vote of thanks to the chairman. The resolutions will be found advertised in another column. THE EXPERIMENTAL SQUADRON.—The West Indian Steamer, Tweed, whose arrival we have announced in another column, passed the British Fleet off the Land's end on Saturday at noon. A three-decker (supposed to be the Queen) was first, and the Admiral's ship second. The particulars of the sailing of the squadron we have given in another column.
