2 - FOREIGX jiY-TEL,LIGENCE. SPAIN_ (From the correspondence of the Standard.) Bayonne, October 12, Seven o'clock, evening.—They write froni Madrid on the Ist of October as follows:—" Gomez was at Mon toro preparing to repss the Guadalquivir and La Sierra, to throw himself into the mountains of Vulida, in consequence of the demonstrations of the Captain General of Sevilla, who had assembled on the 28th 4000 men at Carmona. Senz was, on the 6th, at six leagues from Oviedo, which latter place was occupied. by 2000 trouts and militia determined to resist him. The •Por tuguese brigade was proceeding there from Leon on the 2d inst.• by forced marches." " Montoro," says the Journal des Debats, " is on the high road from Cordova between that town and Andujar. The road which, runs along the left side of the Guadalquivir Gomez has quitted, he has since crossed the river at the bridge of Montoro, and re turned into the mountainous districts." Thns, according to this account, he ceased to march on Cordova, without taking either that town or Jaen, towns being still defended - by oldiwalls flanked with towers, which are as old as the time of the Moors ; and the Carlists are without the means of attack. According to the terms Of the above despatch, Gomez will repass the Sierra Morena by the road of La Conq.uista. in the dire c tion of h Pludad Real, the capital of La Mahcha. Carmona, where the Captain General of Andalusia asseMbled his troops, is a fortified town between Seville and Ecija. BAYONNE, Oct. la—Gomez entered Cordova on the Ist instant. The Spaniards and the garrison, shut up its fortified houses, resisted the enemy. Ataix was on the sth at Andujar, Espinosa at Fuentes de la Campana, anal Rodil at Mara. The Debate says truly, "The news of to-day are quite opposed to those "of yesterday. Gomez is no tunger about to cross the Sierra Morena ;..on the contrary.—behold! he hiss entered Cdr dove, and is marching already on Seville. We were taught to believe that he was pursued with thy greatest vigour, and that five or six corps of troops were shutting- up all the means of escape er of advance; whillt now we leant, on ' the contrary, that the Brigadier Alaix was five days' march behindhand, and that the Captain General of Andalusia is still occupied in getting together his forces in the environs of Carmona. " Some persons think that the ulterior destination of his ex pedition is the province of the Algarves, in the south of Portu gal. Geniez will, in that hypothesis, gain the mountains to the west of Seville. to crossthe Guadiana, the course of which forms the frolitier of Portugal and of Spain. This version is the more probable, inasmuch as lOortuguese general and many Portuguese o ffi cers march with thrmez; and, according to the latest intelligence froqi Lisbon, a 151iguelist rising was feared in the Algarves. " The entry of the 'Carlist chief Don Pablo Sanz into Oviedo is a new source of embarrassment for the Queen of Spain, whose cause this expedition menaces in Castille, and for Portugal, which it can menace by Gallicia, as Gomez has attempted already. "Mora, where Rodil is encamped, is six leagues south of Toledo, between that town and Consuee,ra, on the route of Ciudad Real. This position is at an equal distance from Anda lusia, and from the frontiers of Valentia. They do not say what are the troops he is to oppose in that direction—viz., of the mountains of Toledo. Perhaps he was obliged to make this movement in order to repress the incursions of the bands which occupy the mountains." ' Cadiz, Sept. 30.—Muskets have been ordered to be bought at Gibraltar. The provincifil regiment of Jerez; which was at Ceuta, has been replaced by the National . Guards, and put at the service of the Captain General of Andalusia. All the troop's have been ordered to march on Jerez. No more troops have been kept at Cadiz than those necessary to guard the place. The national mobilised militia left yesterday at half-past twelve for Jerez playing patriotic airs, and accompanied by a great part of the population. No one can describe the touching and enthusiastic scene. General Butron, who was the second in command at the siege of Saragossa, has left Cadiz with full power to take the chief command of all the national militia of the province assembled at Jerez. Don Jeijoo de Marquina has left for Gibraltar to buy 1,000 muskets. Other members of the Ayuntamiento have gone into the different towns of the.pro vince to accelerate the organization of the moveable National Guard's. The Major-general D. Pedro Ramirez, the new mi litary commandant of the province, arrived yesterday. He im mediately took the command of the place, and published a very energetic proclamation. A letter from Bayonne, of the 11th of October, says :—" Yes terday the roar of heavy artillery was, during. a great portion of the day, heard in the environs of our town. This was at first attributed to the celebration of the anniversary of the bhth of Isabella 11. But these detonations continued too long to be simply salutes of artillery. Some persons state that they were, on the contrary, the effect of an attack made by the "Ang,lo- Christinos ag ainst Orramundi and Amezagana. These two points, and, above all, the last, give much uneasiness to the Christinos, who are without doubt resolved on attacking them. Letters from Durango of the 9th, state that Sanz, after having accomplished his mission in the Asturias, proceeded with ra pidity against Arragou. He avoided all the Christinos divi sions who waited for him on the banks of the Ebro. The army of Rodil is so demoralised that it is useless. It is said that this general has informed M. Mendizabal that he must receive as sistance, or else must return to Madrid." Another letter from Bayonne, of the 10th Oct., says, " Villa real is at Salinas—a reconnaissance has been made by the Eng lish on the side of Amezagana. The position of the Carlists on this point was not such as to induce them to make any attack. After a few shots had been exchanged between the advanced posts, they retired. One hundred men of the legion of Algiers, who went over to the Carlists at Echanez and Ortiz have beeu ordered to Estella " The following extract of a letter from Toledo, of the 4th inst., is from the Espaynol : —"General Rodil is•in this province. He has just sent off a courier to Badajoz. The factious still occupy the left banksa the Tagus. All the passengers are intercepted. Two columns are pursuing them." • Letters from Seville of the lst instant announce :-3000 in- fantryand 500 cavalry were reviewed yesterday at Carmoua by the Captain-General. The battalion of the national militia. of Seville was 700 strong. This imposing force will be joined by 160 cavalry. Troops frOro the provinces of Nuelva aud of Ca diz, will, it is expected, shortly arrive here. Yesterday the half battery of artillery, a squadron of cavalry, and the company:of volunteers of Andalusia, set off for Cordova. The Captain- General demanded yesterday of the armament junta 200 lances and two waggons of munitions. The armament and defensive Commission of-Seville is preparing, in concert with several other artillery officers, a -plan, according to which Seville could' - lie fortified. The works are already begun, and the commission expects that it will be strong enough to repulse any attempt of Gomez." AFAIRS OF SWITZERLAND. The Swiss Universal Gazette of the 10th instant,says :—" At the extraordinary session of the Grand Council• of i3erne, the recommendation of the Council of Regency, that the deputies to be sent to the Extraordinary Diet should be instructed to v , ite fur such conciliatory measares as may put an end to the difference with France, in a way compatible with the honour and dignity of Switzerland, was adopted, after a debate ofeleven bouts, by a majority of 131 to 80, subject, however, to ratifica tion. Several of the members gave the assembly some re markable information as to the affair of Conseil, and some voted for energetic measures against France." The Pair congratulates the couture on the hope which may now be entertained of a speedy termination to the difference subsisting between France and Switzerland, as the Federal Directory has adopted the resolution a postponing the execu tion of the orders of the Diet till souse final decision shall have been adopted-by. the Extraordinary Diet about to assemble. " As the danger to which France might be exposed in a con test with Switzerland is not considerable, the former power, observes the Pair, " is not disposed to be excessively rigorous as to the extent of the reparation which she demands."— Standard. • PORTUGAL. (From the Correspondence of the Times.) LISBON, Oct. 8. A circumstance, which at first wore a serious aspect, took place on the evening of the 6th instant, the government having during that day discovered that a conspiracy had been set on foot, having for its object the subversion of the present consti tution by the very regiment, the sth Caqadores, that was, on the night of the 9th ult., the foremost in proclaiming it, by turn ing out that night, as alley were under orders to march for the Algarves on the following morning, and proclaiming the insti tutions given by Don Pedro. Several persons_ have been im plicated in endeavouring to buy over the soldiers, one of whom in particular, their senior major, has been placed under an ar rest in the military hospital, where he has been for some time with a broken , leg, occasioned by a fall from his horse. He is, when lie shall be sufficiently recovered, to be tried by a court martial. 'the National Guard beat to arms, and soon assem bled in their respective quarters, and were, by order of the Civil Governor, divided into four brigades, occupying the most im portant positions of the city, viz:—Campo de Santa Clara, .Praga de Comiuercio, Campo de Santa Anna, Jana Estrella, and the Naval Arsenal Battalion, commanded by their new colonel, M. Franga, in the Pelottrinho-square add- Arsenal street. While the troops of the line remained in their barracks,' the National Guard was kept under arms until midnight, when they retired, leaving a strong force to be in readiness in case of necessity. Here the projected subversion ended, and up to the: present, everything remains perfectly tranquil. It is said that much of this general feeling of alarm has been created by the arrival of his Britannic Majesty's ship Talavera from Vigo, on the 4th instant, and taking up the very extraordinary and un usual anchorage close to the Praga de Connnercio, as also that of 350 Marines disembarking at Cacgilhas on the opposite side of the river on the morning of the 6th instant, for the purpose . of exercising, and the continual manoeuvring of gunboats up and down the river. On that afternoon all the ministers re aired to the Palace, and told the Queen that they were per . fectly aware of what was going on, and begged of her Majesty that, even if she knew any thing about it, not. to lend hey sanc tion to any praceeding that could involve the nation in anarchy . and bloodshed, and thereby endanger the staijility of her throne, at which, she was much surprised and agitated, and evinced every disposition to prevent any disturbances whatsoever. So long, therefore, as the government cart depend on the troops (for in them alone lies their whole strength.) they have nothing to dread, as it is a known fact, thlt all the changes that have taken place in this eountry s since MO were effected 'exclusively by the military, the people always remaining passive, and ready to side with them in upholding any system of laws,they may choose • to establish.

This splendid undertaking, one of the finest specimens of modern architecture, and an ornament to the metropolis, is fast progressing towards completion, and will be thrown open to the public on the first of nekt month. Experiments have been made during the last six months for the purpose of trying the strength of the arches, nearly one thousand in number, the re sult of which has confirmed the high opinion previously enter tained of Mr. M'lntosh, the contractor, as not the slightest vibration occurs while the trains are running. The completion of the' railway has been delayed by the unfortunate disputes which have arisen between the contractors for the iron work and their workmen, causing a few mouths suspension of the traffic which'the railway would otherwise have received bad it been opened at the time contemplated; The proprietors will, however, be speedily remunerated for this temporary delay by the great and unexpected accession of income likely to accrue from the various other lines of railway about to be connected with the Greenwich, some of which, viz , the' 'Deptford Pier, Croydon and Dever, have already obtained the legislative sane tion and commenced operations, whilst others, the Brighton; Kent, and Westminster projected Railways, will - doubtless obtain their acts of parliament next session ; to' all which must be added 'the expectation of a very considerable • re , venue from the arches, as well as the toll fair foot passengers over the railway, ceimprising altogether a vtuiety of• resources common to no other railway in the kingdom. DISASTROUS SHIPWRECK OF THE DONCASTER The Glade Harold, Captain Willis, arrived at a late hour this evenino . (Saturday) from Bombay, whence she sailed on the Bth of June, and the Cape on the Bth of August. This ship brings intelligence of the wreck of the barque Doncaster, Cap tain Pritchard (which sailed from the Mauritius for London the 28th' of June), on, the reef of Agulhas, about seventy miles south-east of the Cape of Good Hope, supposed on. the night of Sunday the 17th of July, when every soul on board perished. By a letter from Samuel Parlby, Esq.. to the lion. Col. Bell, dated Kleine River Valley, July 30, 1836, it appears that • the bodies of nineteen women and children, and thirty-two men and boys; were washed on shore, arid had been buried. The scene• of the calamity is about half a mile to the east of the point of the coast on which the Jessie; Captain Winter, was lost in 1829. Not a vestige of the hull of the Doncaster remains. The following names were observed on the covers of books and pieces of boxes which have been picked up :—Honourable Lady Colville, Russell farm, Hertfordshire, favoured by Mrs. U— (name obliterated,) on the lid of a box; Mary Jane Saunders, on a music book; Miss M. J. E. Saunders, ditto; - George Woolly, jun., ditto; Captain Walker, 99th regt., in a book; W. Macready, Esq., Elston, Hertfordshire, favoured by (name obliterated,) lid of a box; R. Saunders, Esq., South End, in a book; Robt. Saunders, Esq., Elthain, Kent, present from the Mauritius, lid of a box; A. Edwards, 1832, ditto; W. Wil liams, surgeon, on a bottle; P. Dollar in a book; Quarter master-Serjeant O'Learnev, 99 regt., on the lid of a chest; W. Hughes, 29th regimentditto; A. Hooks, Royal Irish Fusileers, No. 155; L. M. Fearney, serjeant, 29th; soldiers' caps and buttons of the 87th, 29th, 99th, and royal sappers and miners, &c. In another letter, dated August 1, irons the civil commis sioner of Swellendam to his excellency the governor, the com missioner states that the bodies washed on shore were nearly all naked. " Limbs and parts of bodies, which appear to have been fourteen or twenty days in the water; wearing apparel of all descriptions, and clothing with the regimental buttons of the 29th, 87tb,'and 99th regiments, and royal artillery and en gineers, all much torn, and bags which have contained sugar, are continually coining on shore. The only clue to the names of the passengers is a small memorandum book, or journal, a little defaced, which, I have reason, from comparison of dates and circumstances, to believe, belonged to Dr. Page, of the royal artillery or engineers, and it is there stated that the pas sengers were Captain and Mrs. Weir, of the 29th regiment; Lieutenant and Mrs. Walker, 99th regiment; Madame Wiche and her daughter; Mrs. Saunders and family; Serjeant John Reid, of the royal sappers and,miners; and seventeen It is an affecting circumstance that Mr. Saunders, the husband of the lady, who, with her children and servants (numbering in all eleven persons,) were lost in this ship, has been residing several weeks with W. Macarthy, Esq., of the,Branch Bank of England in this town, anxiously looking forward to greet the arrival of his family.—Hampshire Telegraph. 'WRECK OF THE DUKE OF MARLBOROUGH. (From a Corespondent of the London Standard.) - . TORQUAY, Saturday, Oct. lsth.—As some of your readers may feel interested respecting the wreck of the .Duke of Marl borough, permit me to inform you that that fine brig (at the time of her wreck a merchant vessel, oHtward bound with a general, cargo), was formerly a Post-Ake packet on the Fal mouth station, and viihen commanded by Capt. John Buil fought a severe action with the Primrose br:g of war, each mistaking the other for an American. She anchored a month since about one mile and a half from the Torquay side of Torbay, and has been detained so long'on account of her captain being ill on shore. On the first of this mouth she rode out a heavy gale at single anchor, but during the gale from SSW: on Thursday morning last, she parted her chnin cable at 20 minutes after three o'clock. The mate, Mr. John Gluvias, then let go the best bower-anchor, and when she brought up she was only a quarter of a mile from the shore. This chain-cable in half an hour parted also, and she drove broadside on against a precipitous point, under which there are six fathoms of water, and then swung round into a bight, surrounded with cliffs as high as her toast-heads, and nearly perpendicular. Directly the brig struck; the masts (the , shrouds of which had previously been cut) fell, and the mate' and one seaman having,rentained on board half an hour after the vessel struck, clung to the cliff. A sea hove the vessel against the cliff, and ,crushed the poor seaman, and the mate, after falling into the brig again, got hold of the cliff a second time, and crawled up, nearly naked, on his hands and knees, and when he saw. the place-the next day, could hardly believe he had scrambled up rt. This. fine man-of-war -looking brig of 200 tons, and mounting six 2.2 : Pounder. carronades, struck at four a.m., and at half-past eight, when I saw her, was lying a shattered wreck,. having nothing but the bowsprit, head, and the larboard bulwarks as far as the midships, above water—the after part of the vessel being dissevered, and the deck floating in and out of the wreck with the surging of the waves, while three gallant fellows were upon it, attempting to recover part of the spars, &e. Out of ten people on board the mate only was saved, and the other nine sunk to their graves, beneath the wild billows. Mr. Putt (the captain), as I before observed, was on shore ill, and of the nine drowned, the bodies of Richard Henry, and of John Lie (a Swede), have been recovered. OtT.ls..—The King has been pleased to order a conge d'elire to the. Dean and Chapter of the Cathedral church, Ripon. empowering them to elect a Bishop of that See; and,his Majesty has also been pleased to recommend to the said Dean and Chapter, the Rev. Charles Thomas Longley, Doctor in Divinity, to he by them elected Bishop of the said See. W H I TEB AI. f„ OCT. 17.—The King has been pleased to pre sent the Rev.

A lioness, belonging to M. Martin's menagerie at Brussels has jusrtrdtight forth the un usual number of four whelps. A; generally happens in such cases, she refused to nourish more than two. The other two have been put to a very fine hitch, who has adopted them, and it is remarkable that the whelps she has taken to have hitherto thrived much better than those which are left with the mother.—Gatignani's Messenger. Boi.Tosl WINTER FAlR.—This fair commenced on Thursday, and the show of horned cattle was numerous, the calverS and young stock being of a superior quality. - There were but few fat beasts brought out. The business done in cvers, and offered' steers was a fair average, and at improving prices. • al The' pigs for sale did great credit:to our friends from the sister isle, and were eagerly bought up. Yesterday the horses of value were confined to those adapted to agricultural purposes; although amongst the young stock there were many promising roadsters. Of rosinantes there was an abundance, but as a set off, the mules and donkeys excelled those shows at any former fairs.—Botton Chronicle. . - • -- -- !, IMPORTANT To JOINT-STOCK BANKS.—A curious circumstance has been mentioned to us in connexion with one of the most prominent subjects of the day. In the course of last year, one of t be . la rge Joint Stock Banks of a midland county commenced proceedings against a debtor when his solicitor took the rather novel step of pleading that the bank was, incapacitated front suing, because one of its pal tuers was a clerk in holy orders ; upon which legal enforcement was abandimed. The exception was taken at hazard • for the tact that a clergyman held shares in the bank, was at the time unknown to either solicitor for the plaintiff or solicitor for the defendant ; but as the bank had above'one thousand pat tners, nothing was snore probable.—Con stitutional. WILFUL 111111 DER AT CARRINGTON, NEAR NOTTINGHAM.— Wil:I3M Renshaw, the unfortunate victim, was a lace-maker, residing at Carrington. He had been to the Goose-fair, with four other men, and on their way home they proposed to have some beefsteaks fur supper, which were procured, and the de: ceased and a friend went out to obtain some onions. it being nearly eleven o'clock they found the shops shut, and were knock ing up the people, when a fellow called Bust Terry, a frame work-knitter, at Daybroke, began to interfere with them, and struck the deceased's compan ion, who re t urn ed the blow, but was obliged to give i n f rom Jerry's superior strength. The ruffian then turned upon the deceased, and, as he at first con ceived, struck him. in the abdomen, but he instantly felt the blond trickling down, and the bowels protruding in a shocking manner; .the poor man was instantly removed to a bed, and medical aid procured, but . he died on Monday evening. The murderer, after having inflicted the wound, ran away, but was followed, and after a dreadtul struggle was secured, and appeared to walk quietly with them ; but when they arrived with him at the lock-up he pulled out a knife and threatened to rip up the first perion who came near him. The constable seized him, but a fellow, a friend of the prisoner, who was present, knocked the (unstable to the around, and Terry escaped through the hedge into the field, and has not , since been .found. An inquest was Geld on Tuesday ; and a verdict of wilful murder against William Terry was returned, and the magistrates have offered a reward I of £2O for his appreheusion.—Nottingham Journal.

A SUPPLEMENT is ! published along with this number o THE LIVERPOOL STANDARD. ' • • • Has Liverpool done its duty to the cause of constitu tional freedom Y Let our columns decide this question ? It would be presumptuous in us to attempt to interfere, by any distinct commentary of our own this day, with the weighty 'adjudication which has been given against the cabinet of destructionists, and its incongruous asso ciation,—that adjudication is tleyisi% e. Let the unmuti hated speech of each and every peer, commoner, gentle man, merchant, or tradesman, prointilgated .before the vast assembly of Tuesday evening, sink deep into the heart of every,man who owns the name of Englishman. Let it make its own way—create its own first impres sions—raise,its own impulses unalloyed, and without be ing in any way weakened in force and effect by'our fee ble pen. Let us not attempt to interrupt in its majestic course the swelling wave of constitutional opinion, which bears upon its expansive bosom, with irresistible power, argument and conviction, patriotism and liberty, reason and truth, honour and justice, united in one sacred bond of indissoluble devotion and warm attachment to our Protestant Church and State. Have we deceived our friends by the representation we have given anticipatory of this glorious marshalling of our conservative strength ? Have not the independent men of 'this opulent borough —this mart of c6minercial enterprise, capital, and inclus, try, fully and sutp , iiently redeemed our pledge? Never before has such a display been made in Liverpool, as this first commemoration festival of our honourable associa tion .has presented. Here were the entire policy and wickedness of the Melbourne whig cabidet, in its daring course during the. last twelve months, arraigned before a competent tribunal—suhditted to the consideration of a jury of independent Englishmen, which jury has pa tiently gone into the whole merits of the case, dispas: sionately—publicly,—and what is the verdict ?—a verdict of positive denunciation—a finding presented to the supreme court of the British nation, by their constitu tional foreman—an unanimous verdict of guilty of moral incompetency—of political dishonesty, against those who have presumed to act the part of counsellors to a Pro testant King in that which pertains to his highest trust— 'the security and permanency of an established‘christian church in this united kingdom! Are our enemies satis fied, or do they want any further demonstration ? This first triumph of the constitutional cause,in Liver pool, is but the prelude to that solemn judgment which the English nation in its great strength is preparing to pronounce on our administration, which, more than any other in the history of this great empire, has su'lied its honour and paralysed its securities at home, and bartered with its independence abroad. The exposition of the whole machinery' of complicated imbecility and wicked perversjon of every principle of, safe, of sound, of ra tional government, has been complete. We have a full justification for all the severe truths and admonitory warnings , we have humbly, yet honestly, from time to time and recently put before our readers; and we may dare the accusation of party partiality and injustice, whilst labouring as humble auxiliaries in support of a cause where so much is at stake against the unprincipled assailants of constituted freedom, and whether in the se nate, the ranks of an hireling agitator, or our anti-pro testant revolutionary Town Council. With all or •any of such parties—such elements of evil—compromise was out of the question,—by standing aloof we have sustained our own honour, and we hope tendered some service to our fondlycherished country in her hour of trial, and of danger.' That such freely selected course has met the approbation, of those whose good opinion we cherish, Is evidenced by the daily indiea. , ing patronage We eXperi ence, in spite of all the liberal efforts made to'neutralise or smother our arguments and opinions. • That we should in any way have been instrumental to the fo rmat i on o f so va l ua bl e A reu nion in this opulent town as th a t presente d f or our con t em plation on Tuesday last, is to •us a source of the highest satisfaction which can possibly be offered to public journalists, and we desire no other reward personally than that which results from the conviction of ha% ing done our duty fear lessly and independently, awaiting, as we have, the im partial decision of public opiniOn. •The reunion to which we allude is rendered doubly valuable in its objects, as it cannot fail to be important in its moral consequences, because it has given scope to the free and unfettered ex pression of the sentiments of a class of English freemen on the conduct of those who have arrogated to them selves' the right of controlling the public mind which cannot fairly be suspected of entertaining any sinister views with regard to personal interests in the govern ment of this country, and the judgment ofm,hich is alone swayed by that calm consideration which the relative position of its Meni ‘ bers, independent by their own in• dustry, is enabled to give to matters of weighty political Moment affecting the whole community. At this dinner we had neither present the parliaMentary nominees of any lord interested in upholding the government of the day, nor the minion tenants dependent tipon his per sonal favour for 'their leases, the elevation or the reduc tion of their rents; it was no packed display of numbers, no solemn county-farce exhibition ; but the freely sought muster of a body of intelligent tradesmen—an assem blage of voluntary principle for a national and constitu tional purpose. The unanimous decision given by such an Assembly, and its approbation of the sentiments so intelligently put before it by the various patriotlie speak ers, after listening with marked attention' to the exposi tion they have given, is invaluable, whilst it cannot fai of putting to the blush the vanity and presumption of the ' O'Connellite Molbourne cabinet despite of its past indif- ~e rence to the opinion of th(_. intelligent English corn alimity. At the same 'time' we look forward to a still more thrilling t ffect on the public Rind generally from the reading of the speeches in print, which - we have . given as copiously as possible that no part of the general argument embodied should be lost upon our fellow countrymen, The grand object for our consideration is the warm expression' of opinion in favour of, and of sympathy with, our justly venerated national church. This has been .at once complete and triumphant; ; it has been sufficient to tell the "radical unitarian faCtion of the town council what is the view taken by the reflecting portion of their fellow-townsmen of •the conduct of those men who, dur ing the last year of their reign, following the example bf their patrons in the government, have tried to inflict their " heavy blows" by side winds and hypocritical measures, their attempts to destroy an effective protestant instruc tion, that they may wallow with greater freedom in the hoped-for career of their own licentiousness. The ho nour and christian credit,---the morals of Liverpool have been redeemed from their grasping fangs, and our con stitutional gathering has decreed for our church and for our state, bound up with that church in a pare and insepa rable alliance; and it. has powerfully shown the convic tion still entertained by sensible minds, that the fact the church being an Established, church, is, next to the purity of . its doctrine and its liberality, with which its independence are intimately connected, the most, power ful recommendation' to the veneration and affection of the people. Mr. Chancellor of the. Exchequer, Spring Rice, should have attended our dinner ere he held forth under his aerial harangiie about reforming that church, at the recent Limerick display. He would indeed have. found; that " it presented a difficult and complex questiOn" to legislate upon,. against the judgment of intelligent 'Eng lisp Protestants, identified in heart and feeling-4n reci procity of sentiment and attachment to the permansion and interests of the Irish branch of the establishment. As for the declared " affection" of the Right Hon. the . Chancellor for the Protestant Church, and his being " desirous to do full justice to both creeds, which should not be done to Protestant disachthntage," such twaddle is entirely compatible with the blrney of his associates-7- their base insincerity, with regard to their Irish legisla tion in toto, that it could only be received with endurapce by an expectant half-popish and half-radical assembly— as any Other such hypocritical cant would be fairly scouted, and its promulgator held tip to the contempt merited. We leave Mr. Spring Rice and his Limerick friends to ponder our English opinion upon this "difficult and com plex question ;" but only rendered so by the dishonoura- . , ble policy of the ministers, and their desire to retain office by the sacrifice of every just principle of dealing and of practkable conservation. The Chnrch of Ireland has been the rock on which more than one administration has shipwrecked its policy, and the present ministry, by its attempted, its flagrant injustice, has inevitably sealed its own doom with all those who . feel conscientiously bound to maintain that church. We niay triumphantly appeal to the judgment of Pro: testant Liverpool against Roman Catholic Limerick, and "upon the principle," (in Mr. Rice's words,) " of the go vernment plan of church- reform," on which he so con fidently " looked for their applause—their approval," addressing his popish supporters ; and, as." this was the. doctrine Of ticose with whom he_was*connected, and the doctrine (appropriation) to which he was determined to adhere," we join issue with Mr. Spring Rice and-his worthy associates, and will inflexibly try how far, in the next session of parliament, they shall "meet with the sincere and undeviating support of the House of Com mons," in opposition to the conservative strength of the British empire. Upon this grand question rest the en tire hopes of the ministry, with regard to its retention of office—and upon this question depends, as that excellent patriot soldier, Sir James Dalbiac, has just said at Ripon, the Protestant ascendancy" of the British constitution. All other questions are as feathers in the balance ; fur the municipal reform..is but the stepping stone to the de struction of that ascendancy. As for putting the Protestant Church of ['viand on an equality of footing" With the Roman Catholic, accord ing to this dictum of Mr. Rice, it is altogether the most ignorantly presuming idea that ever entered into the erratic brain of : any man who could, at the same instant, profess his attachment to a creed its very•opposite. Like our Liverpool liberals—our " free traders" in religion, Mr. Rice would reduce the Irish Church of the Protestant Establishment to the voluntary standard of support. We have heard a vast deal of nonsense about the hardship of being compelled to pay for the support of a stite religion of. which,they are not members—of the great injustice of their being compelled to pay. the ministers and needful teachers of a religion to which they are opposed,_when such ought only,to be a matter resting between their own consciences and their God ! How well have all - these fallacies-of argument upon abstract principle been shown up -refuted—exposed at our independent festival. What say you my lords, the Russell whigs, and our Irish papal clique ? What, (in bar phrase;) have you gained by the motion superficial of your redoubtable Chancellor of the Exchequer ? We will answer for the " affectionate," the "heavy blow" friends—the false supporters of Protestantism in Ireland, backed as we are by the support of oureonserva tive member, and those upright statesmen who followed him. Those who make these complaints against the Protestant 'clergy—complaints to which every indepen dently pi ovided for priesthood must necessarily be sub jected, by the infidel and the schismatic, have not the honesty to tell us, that a priesthood left dependent upon the capricious bounty of its followers must, in spite Of individual liberality, be composed of mean, badly edu cated, pliable, time- serving characters—petty intriguers= family spies—mercenary-minded men—aspiring for indi vidual superiority and influence—dependents upon poli tical caprice and favour, and, generally, if acting without a principle of honourable concert amongst themselves, proportionably hostile to the best interests of society,. and to the welfare of our roligicin 1 . Let any country in the world, however well informed, be exposed to the pes-: tilentiat influences of such a demoralised necessitous priesthooll for one or two generations, and see what the consequences would be. Let Englandherself, at another period of ,her history, be compared with England in her present position, after one hundred and fifty yeari pos session of her establishment and her provisioned clergy, and answer if the interests of true religion, and sound morality in the state, are not placed upon the best, in fact; the only rational foundation. We say then, that the Ministers stand irretrievably, condemned by the judgment of an impartial tribunal of ,Englishmen, as the faithless guardians of the consti tution—the false conservators of the interests of the Irish Protestant Church—they are, in fact, under the mask of friendship, performing the part of sedition preachers against that church, before a bigoted, hos tile, and partial population, Is it possible that the re flecting portion of - the English people of any creed, or those only morally disposed, should longer show them countenance ? It shotild never be lost sight of that the 'former associ ates of the party uow in power, as Whigs, first mooted the question of Catholic emancipation—it was the Whig party wlkich first prescribed the fatal blow to Protes tant ascendancy in Ireland; and we now 'conceive, that the Duke of Wellington and Sir Robert Peel conceded the passing of that measure, under a conviction that had the. Whigs then the power of taking s office, they, would. for the sake of its retention, enter upon the same category of dangerous expediencies with_ a possibly dif ferent object, as the present desperate band of semi radical and pro-popish adventurers. Ever since -the pas Sing of that measure of emancipation, the reckless section of the Whigs, composing the present cabinet, have, by open and by ,covert 'means, been. engaged in propelling the machinery of destruction against the Pro. testant church and its ministers, under the most artful simulation, making themselves the ready panderers to every priestly-begotten, falsehood against that church, knowing it to be the only effectual barrier against their mercenary ambition. We unhesitatingly assert, from our own personal observation and intimate knOwledge of heir workings in the sister kingdom, that the progress to active rebellion in that country, is more the work of their hands than even of the great 'Agitator himself; and as that rebellion appears to us to be inevitable, they will be responsible to God and this Christian country for all the blood that may be shed, and all the property that may be sacrificed. This brings us to our Tuesday's proposition, namely, that every effort should now be tried even With the existing House of Commons rather than suffer the continued submission to the Melbourne cabinet, and a very little addition of conservative sup port sent into that house, would compel its retirement. It may be said, that we are acting the part of incon sistency by proposing the return of Sir Robert Peel's party to office, whilst we, as protestants, have condemned the nieisure of Catholic emancipation. Our answer is, that we did not expect the Irish Roman Catholic mem bers would have been guilty of the moral turpitude of forming a hostileleague against the Protestant Church, in breach of their oaths ; but since that is the case, we even deem it prudent to seek the return to office of those ministers who carried emancipation. We would, on principle, as followers of Pitt, support them against the first ,projectors of that un-English crusaderiunder which they became the compulsory, agents of a compromise of Protestant principle, fatal to , the constitutional repose of tbe . stiie. These are "the sentiments expressed by, the assembled hundreds of our Liverpool friends on Tuesday evening. They are now 'prepared to stand by the men, who, desiring to avert a civil war in Ireland, afterwards pledged themselves to a rational reform principle for the united:lingdom, against the O'Connell spell-bound inca pables, who, for the sake of retaining place, are hourly, by their indefensible pot*, encouraging civil war, and preparing . for proscription that gem in the constitution the surrender of one portion of which they impudently hold up as a bar perpetual on the score of consistency, against Sir Robert Peel. We have before said,,that the opposition to Sir Robert Peel has been of incalculable service, opening the eyes of the country to the true cha racter of Modern whiggery. The conservatives of Li verpool it is evident are satisfied with themselveS in the course they have taken hi this arduous struggle—they ha've resolved to stand above the suspicion of compromise with the Melbourne whigs, and to " defend the right"— to stand or fall with the united Protestant Church;' and their Protest is now not only before the-nation of Eng- Ushrnen, but before the WORLD 1 We are too n - mch interested in the progress of domestic events, which .are of so much moment to the English people at home, to enter at any length to•day on the subject of our foreign relations, or to comment fully upon the variety of news from France, Switzerland, Spain, and Portugal, which has been received since our last. The moat interesting; from the French papers, in forms us, that in a semi-official note, of M. M. Mole and Guizot, published in La Cliarte, they declare that, al though they are 'resolved to execute the quadruple treaty, they will, on no account, admit the principle of our armed intervention in the affairs of Spain ; and, fur ther, they state they would not have taken upon them the government had the treaty, in strictness, imposed on 1 France the conditions of our aimed assistance. This is of importance, as it sets at rest the various speculations on the subject. Thus, non-intervention by France paralyses the treaty, and renders it comparatively a dead letter. And now let us ask, what has England gained by that treaty ? • Has she not been a party thereby to a compact, from the moral responsibility of which even Lord Palmerston now shrinks ? This treaty has been worse than useless, compromising to 'the personal ho nour and dignity of a British monarch, and discreditable to the English character. We care not whom we may offend by this declaration.. His Maje Sty is not,-in any way responsible for the consequences, but his ministers are. The treaty has been both expensive and fruitless,; and what is more, it has led to a loss of human life—of English life--,by famine, by typhus fever, and by the sword, without a vestige of, honour to our arms, or a shadow of benefit to Spain.! It has served the cause of revolution there at the price of English credit.; whilst ,the 'stock-jobbing Jew financier is unable to d&more than ;proclaim the insolvency of the government, of . which he is the momentary, as well as the monetary dictator, by a circular, that the November dividenil cannot be paid The - Madrid intelligence,, respecting the progress of Gomez, is altogether so truly contradictory, that it safis fies•us the government are in ignorance of his move ments, or that they were too formidable for publication. Alaix is stated to have reached Torrecampo, Mangibar in his pursuit. There is little French news of interest, beyond the belief, that the dispute with Switzerland was in train for amicable adjustment. • Our excellent contemporary of the Morning Post has published some stringent remarks upon the proceedings of our admiral and minister at Lisbon, in consequence of the former having placed his ship, the Talavera, in a po sition to batter the customhouse and city, and thus to overawe the existing government ! We confess we are at a loss to account even for this freak of Palrnerstonian policy., Why one revolutionary government is to be encouraged in Spain, and another menaced in Portugal, both being, to all intents and purposes, founded on the same principle, and brought into playby the same means, is to us inexplicable. From the north of Spain we learn the discomfiture of the Carlist chief, Maroto, and the death of a Catalonian nobleman, who fell fighting with his son. The chiefs of Maroto's corps had dispersed amongst the mountains, and Maroto himself had taken refUge iri 'the French ter ritory. Don Carlos continued at Durango on the 12th instant; he had just completed a tour, throughout the whole route of which he had been received by. the inha bitants—in fact, the entire population of 'men; women, and children, with songs of triumph,and every other de monstration of affectionate devotion to his person and cause. The romantic career of this prince is one of the choicest subjects of modern history. Don Carlos will " point the moral, and adorn the tale," in posterity's literary page ! Mr. Henry Lytton BulWer, M.P., and Pamphleteer Extraordinary to the Whig Liberal Cabinet, has got into the political, vital' tub, with his constituents, through his vote on the pension list, against the motion of Mr. Da niel Whittle Harvey ; and one of those 'constituents, in a wrangling argumentative letter, published in last Fri day's TimeS, has called upon - the honourable, member in very plain terms, and upon the point of honour, to " re tire." This the Times correspondent confidently consi ders Mr. Henry Lytton Bulwer is hound to do, upon his pledge, real and • implied, when he presented himself a candidate for the sittfrages of the " independent reform ers" of Marylebone in general, and to the elite society of " new religionists," meeting at the forum of Mr. Savage, the " Circus" tavern keeper. We are no friends whit ever to the system of pledge -making, considering as we do, that nothing is so derogatory to the dignity of a mem ber of parliament, as to bind himself by specific pledges. The man who subMits to such a course shows that he nei ther knows his duty to his King, hiS constituents, or him self, by such submission. We are of Burke's school in this feeling; and have ever remembered his noble reply to the electors of Bristol in 1789, when some parties amongst them sought a pledge at his hands. Be this as it may, if a man for the sake of a seat in parliament can so demean his station as to bind himself to certain votes on certain specific subjects--7to bind himself to an unqua lified opposition to any one object or question, as the price of his seat (and not on general questions of important state policy) and appeal to, or call upon the name of the . Almighty in affirmation of his pledge—as for example that lie " will, God willing, oppoSe the pension we say unequivocally, that if he votes against such pledge, and in the teeth of such promise, and affirma tion, according to the distinct codes of honour and of ethics, he forfeits his seat. Mr. Bulwer, it appears, has essayed a " defence" of his vote to the deputation that waited upOn him for an explanation; but this defence has led to no other result than the scathing letter of " one of his constituents." The eyes of the thorough-going re formers of Marylebone are now open to the independent whiggery of Mr. BulWer's politics; and they can disco ver the congenial sympathy of,feeling which a newly ap• pointed liberal wing sinecurist may entertain for the pen- Ovr. 21 1836, Sion list; but it appears to them inexplicable, that he should so independently attempt to retain his seal, which is their property in trust, seeing that he has snipped his fingers at their bargain, and made a most reverential boti to Messrs. Russell and Company, on being presented with their 'diplomatic clerkship ! This comes of your " popular" candidates—your " friends to liberty"—your " foes to corruption.". Mr. Bulwer. has placed himself in a truly awkward position to act the part of arbiter be tween the whigs and radicals ; and he would do well to select some sturdy tory umpire to assist him in the storm, which his penchant for fine French metaphor, and rileto7 rical flourishes, regarding the beauties of Utopian libe l ralism, has brought about his ears. The author of " France, Social, Literary, and Political," would do well to study Voltaire's couplet— " La libert4 convive amiable Met les deux comics sur la table !"• DtsasTEß.—The English schooner Rising Sun, Sponangle, from Liverpool, N.S. for Boston, was upset by a squall on the 12th September, and two men drowned. She was afterwards fallen in with by a vessel from Bucksport, and towed into that port the 17th September, . . . . MOBIIA3, Sept. 9.—The- accounts of the cotton crop are still very bait: The worm continuesits ravages, and after consuming the forms and boles, has' commenced upon the leaves of the cot• ton stalk. We hope this insect may not base made its appeal•- , once very generally in Alabama. THE CONSERVATIVE GRAND MARCH. DEDICATED TO LORD SANDON. BY JAMES MAY.—A soul-stirring and animated march, which will not rail to inspire courage and- cheer the conservatives on. to victory. It is well arranged, and reflects great credit on the composer. • EMBEZZI,LNIFINT.—On Monday evening last, George Plum mer, a shoptnan in the employ of M r. Wright, of the tea com pany in Bold-street, absconded with about £l5O which he had been entrusted with settle en account, and has not since been heard of. It is supposed that he has gone to New Orleans. At a meeting, of the dock rate-payers and others, held on Wednesday, in the Court-room, Chapel-street, Thus. Tobin, Esq. was elee:ted a tuLnber of the dock committee, in the,room of Nicholas Ruskell, • Esq. who has resigned The vot9? were— for Mr. Tobin, 260; M r._William Healing, 103; — , majority us fvour of Mr. Tobin, 157. SANDBACLI BAZAAR.—The proceeds of the Bazaar amounted to £368. The oving ladies presided at the stall f y.—The Misses Ford, the Misses Twewlow, the Misses Matthlas; the Misses Pownal, Mrs. Armistead, Mo. John.. Lathan), Mrs. Fooley, (refreshment stall,) Mrs. Williams ; and Mts. Ingham. Her Majesty, not being able to send work, contributed £2U. MADAGASC COTTON.—A sample of cotton from the island of Madagascar was exhibited on 'Change on Monday, being the first ever received from that part of the world. We under-, stand that the quality is good, though not very fine—quite equal to the qualities of Bowed cottons. A quantity of cotton 'front Madagascar, of which that exhibited was a specimen, is on its way to this_ country. . THE HORSE, THE DOG, AND THE COVV.—We would direct the attention of our agricultural friends to this most useful coo pound of all that is necessary to be known in keeping these three valuable animals in good condition. A seventh edition of Small's Tablet having made its appearance, affords us ano ther opportunity of saying it is an almost indispensable work to all who are intrusted with the care of either "the horse, the dog, or thecow."—See advertisement. PaitriNGs.-The lover of the fine arts will be gratified with a sight of some very exquisite paintings now exhibiting for sale at No. '2O, Clayton-square. Amongst them are two extraordinary production by John Van Dycke who was, it may be remembered the inventor of oil painting; they are in a state of excellent preservation, although it is more than 400 years ago since they were executed ; indeed the ' colours have all the freshness of • having been but just laid on. There is in the collection a re markable picture by Lutherbourg, well worthy of attention, • We sliOnld much like to be informed, if the gentlemen com missioners of - stamps and taxes, acting the part of " superficial inch" subordinates, have issued their late decree against the publication Of a second edition of our papers, for the purpose Of supplying the market intelligence of prices, (which is strictly neics, . as much as the report of the funds,) have acted under the au thority of their superior, now at' Limerick ; and whether the right hon. gentleman considers, that the agricultural and:trad- , ing interests of distant places will be pleased with or benefited by this unlocked for tax upon knowledge, useful and even ne cessary to the community at large ? LINE OF PACKETS TO LlVERPOOL.—According to the Daily Advertiser, a new line of packet ships is about to be established between this and Liverpool. The ships are to sail from Liver- , pool on the 12th, and from New York on the 30th. There are to be four ships, bearing the classic names of Gairick, Shaks lieare, Siddons, and Sheridan, and are each to be 800 tons bur- then. This will make twenty-four ships between this port a nd Liverpool, which united will exceed 17,000 tons. So much for onebranch of the commercial' enterprise between this and Li verpool. There are now five regular lines of packet ships, and all, we believe, well patronised.—New York paper, Sept. 20. VESSELS LAUNCHED WHOLESALE.—A novel and interesting spectacle was witnessed on Saturday last,- by the launching of six vessels, of 75 tons burthen each, from the building yaid of Messrs. Robert Russell and Sous, at Woodside. They are in tended for the Liverpool and Manchester Timber Carrying Company, and are allowed to be the best models for inland na vigation yet built. As they glided into their future element,. they were respectively and appropriately named the Birch, Beech, Elm, Pine, Cedar, and Maple. Two others, we understand, will be launched for the same proprietors at the next springs, to be called the Oak and Ash. The circumstance of six vessels bein - g-, ,launched together from one yard in one day, ought to be re-' ;corded in the annals of Liverpool. PPRENOLOGY.—So many works are produced upon this sub ject, that it is not to be wondered at if all do not become " popular"—but there is one advertised in our columns of to day, which has such strong recommendations, that we would be surprised if it did not attain to this. It is said, by the spei.tator, " next to Combre's, to be the best introductory work on the sublect." The Glasgow Argus says, "it forms the indst.com plete guide to Phrenology, within a moderate compass." The Kilmarnock Journal adds, that it gives " the philosophy of the science—its application to the every-day affairs of men, to edit cation, legislation, insanity, and the adoption of particular con figurations of head to certain situations in life, and peculiar trades and professions." The Aberdeen Herald says, the author " has simplified Phrenology very materially ;" while the -Liver pool Albion asserts, that it " cannot fail to prove of greaLutility to students in the science." Under such circumstances, Ice should not be surprised altheugh it even surpassed the celebrated '.' Catechism" produced by the same publisher, of which he has now sold above TEN THOUSAND copies' ' • - CONSERVATIVE RELACTION.—If you desire to test the strength of a man's feelings on any given subject, enquire whether he goes the length of spending his money upon it. If he does, theta can be "no mistake" as to the extent and activity of the princi ple which actuates him. To apply this test to the growing pre valence of Conservative principles in Lancashire, we have.only to advert to the extraordinary encouragement which has re cently been shewn there to Mr. Ryall's new and splendid work ,.. of art, entitled "Portraits of Eminent Conservative Statesmen. The . professional merits of that work, great, and even unequalle d as they are in the peculiar department in which they are exer cised, would never have secured to it that extroordinarysuccess which it has already achieved, had it not been for the daily en creasing spread of "those noble and truly English principles, in honour and in furtherance of which it has been undertaken and carried into effect, and to which it is entitled to look for its future progress and ultimate completion. As a signal proof of the spirit in which his success is reeeived by the distinguishe d artist who is the originator and proprietor of this work, we have to state that he has determined on presenting to the South Lan cashire Conservative Association, to. be hung up in. their Hall at Newton, a splendid full-length portrait, in oil, of the excellent and talented Conservative Member for Liverpool, Lord Sandon, and also one of that truly patriotic nobleinan, Lord Wilton. FORGERY.—George Jackson was last week brought before Mr. Hall, charged under the following circumstances :—Edwd' Thompson, a copperplate-printer . , residing in Litchfield-court , but who has his shop at No. IS, Goree-piazzas, stated, that a fortnight ago the prisoner, George Jackson, who was a stranger to him, came to his workshop, and, saying that he bad some printing to do, asked where he _could get the loan of a press. Witness recommended him to a person named Edwards, in Moorfields. The prisoner then said his name was James John son, but he did not say where he resided. On the following do , he again called, and asked witness if he had any objection in work overtime for him. The latter replied, that of course he should have no objection if he were paid.. The prisoner said he would pay him handsomely„and would bring the plates on the following day, but without mentioning what they were. On-the next morning he called, and took from his pocket a piece of pa per, on which witness read, as nearly as he could recollect, th e following agreement :—" I, Edwd. Thompson, do hereby pro mise to work for 'Jas. Johnson, and not to divulge the nature 0' the work to any man living." Prisoner asked him to sign tlail paper, uhich he did. The prisoner then took out a. bible, an required him to take an oath to the same effect. He refusedr . do this, unless he were first informed what the work was. 1 t ' e .. prisoner opened his vest, and the front of his trowsers, and pro duced cluced two plates. On examining them, witness found t hat they were plates cut to imitate notes-of the Bank of Irelan','. f The prisoner said he wished to have five or six hundred_°d them printed. Witness directed his atteutien to the door, r" , ,., when lie turned round presented hint with the bible, saP l a , that he bad taken the oath, and would strike off -the notes the required. The prisoner said he would call on Monday with o j, paper. Witness immediately wrote to the Bank of Irelat?th stating the circumstances. On Monday the prison(); called 0 )r , about two hundred pieces of paper, similar to bank-note Pelbeer One of the plates was for the form of the note, and th e t jt ar t contained the value and date. He at that time printed a Po e of a note, which was now produced. On Tuesday morning aye prisoner came again, when witness put him off, wishing to on an answer from Ireland before he took any further s teps. b i as , Wednesday Mr. Whitty and James Ainsworth called upet ) le d having received a communication from Ireland. They arq 4l o iier the plan for future proceedings and departed. The Pr' s )r iot never left the plates with witness, and the latter was t, ° I pl.!- ' them in his presence. At o ne o ' c l o ck on WednesdaY ' to ok sonar called, and took out the plates, from which vtitnli s hat I about twelve impressions, which the prisoner placed j u d o any ,one by one as they were done. Witness refused tn, e t h o se more just then; and the prisoner said that he would t" ne tbing to. be signed, and would returrenext day and pay him sP'„ ass ing handsome. They went out together, and as they were,_ r he pri along Brunswick -street, Ainsworth came up aid toc.as i erson• soner into corroborated with the lates and notes on hi . a . ,,,ent. James Ainsworth the latter part of this st.otons. The prisoner was committed for trial.at the borough s t e ' and in- SINGULAR INCIDENT.—A number of curiotis even_tsraroark cidents occurred during the late affair.
