MILNER V. HARRISON'. AN application was made on Thursday, the 25th September, before his Honour Vice-Chancellor Sir George Turner, at Bath, on behalf of Mr. William Milner, as Executor of the late Thomas Milner, the Patentee of an Inven tion of " Improvements in Boxes, Safes, or other Depositories for the Protection of Papers or other materials from Fire," for an injunction to restrain the defendant, John German Harri son, of Liverpool, his agents, servants, &c., from making, using, putting in practice, or vending, or procuring to be made, &c., during the remainder of the term mentioned in the Letters Patent granted to Mr. Thomas 'Milner, any Boxes, Safes, or other depositories made in such or the like manner, or on the same or the like principle as the said Thomas Mil ner's Invention, or in anywise counterfeiting, imitating, or ing the said Invention Mr. Webster appeared for the plaintiff, and Mr. Shebbeare for the defendant, and affidavits in support of and in opposition to the motion were read. Milner's invention consisted in the use of substances, distribitted in an absorbent material in spaces between the outer and inner casings of the Box, which substances, when exposed to heat, evolved steam or moisture, the combined effect of the moisture and the material, kept humid, protecting the Safes, enclosing papers, &c., from fire. The defendant sold Safes and Boxes, which he represented to be made under a Patent granted to Messrs. Tann, of Lon don, but which the plaintiff contended were substantially made according to Milner's Invention, and were an infringe ment on his Patent. An action had been brought by the plaintiff against the defendant for the infringement, and tried in June last, before Lord Chief Justice Campbell and a special jury, and a verdict found for the plaintiff, the defendant's counsel tendering a Bill of Exceptions to the direction of the learned judge on the construction of Mr. Milner's specification. Notwithstanding this verdict, the defendant Harrison had continued to sell the Boxes and Safes complained of, and the affidavits filed by the plaintiff proved the recent sale by defen dant of a Safe, which scientific witnesses stated was substan tially the same as those proved on the trial, and found to be an infringement. This was verified by Doctor Muspratt whose analysis accompanied his affidavit. The affidavit of Mr. John Tann stated that he believed this Safe had been made by him and his partners, and he alleged that it vas made according t• heir specification _ _ His HONOUR stated the print' eon which the Court inter fered in cases of this kind, observed that Tann's specifi cation appeared to conte ate only a dry non-conductor to stop the heat. whereas ilner's created a further obstruction to the fire, by prod ng at the period when the fire began to act on the box an union of steam, which pervaded the non conducting mat al with moisture, and thereby protected the Safe and its tents. His Honour adverted to the ong enjoy ment of the Patent which was granted in 1840, the result of the trial at law, and the clear opinioni n the plaintiff's favour expressed by the Lord Chief Justice, and in which his Honour concurred, stating that he considered Milner's was a Patent claiming every mode by which the liquid. &c., might he em ployed to moisten the absorbent material; and he concluded by granting the injunction in the terms of the motion. PRESERVATION OF BOOKS, DEEDS, &c., FROM FIRE. COURT OF QUEEN S BENCH, JUNE 23RD, 1851, BEFORE LORD CAMPBELL MILNER t AND A SPECIAL JURY HARRISON. (The latter selling Tonn's Safes and Boxes, and advertising himself asso:e proprietor of Tann's Patent Safes, Chests, &c.) The above trial was instituted for the purpose of vindicating the exclusive right, on the part of the Plaintiff, of applying liquids, or materials evolving moisture on the application of heat, together with ether absorbent materials, within the chambers of Boxes, Safes, or Depositories, calculated to per vade the chambers and contents of the safes with moisture and steam, when heated by fire, thereby preserving the papers from ignition. Mr. Crowder, Q.C., Mr. M. Chambers, Q.C., and Mr. Webster, appeared for the Plaintiff; and Sir F. The siger, Mr. Knowles, Q.C., and Mr. Hintimarsh, for the Defen dant. After the case had been stated by Mr. Crowder evidence was given by Mr. Grantham, of Liverpool, Civil Engineer and Surveyor of Steamers to the Board of Trade; Mr. Samuel Woods, jun., of London, formerly of Liverpool ; Mr. J. W. Filcher, of Liverpool ; Mr. Alderman Bennett, Ironfounder, of Liverpool ; Dr. Sheridan Muspratt, Professor of Chymistry, Liverpool; Mr. John Smith, President of the Guardian Society. Liverpool ; Mr. B. Woodcroft, Professor of Machinery at the University College, London ; and by Mr. John Owens, one of the foremen of Milner's Works for the last twenty years, on the utility, originality, &c., of Milner's Safes—of which upwards of 25,000 are now in use—and also of the infringe ment of Milner's Patent by the Defendant, who was proved to have used the very materials in the Safes and Boxes he bad etti et, A 1•.<1 for., 11 A.l-rt. 'Ur -n 1. was followed by Sir F. Thesiger's reply for the Defendant, who called several witnesses, but whose testimony, on cross-exami nation, completely established the Plaintiff's case. Mr. Crowder finally addressed the Jury on the facts, and Lord CAMPBELL then summed up. This, he said, was an action for the infringement of a patent granted on the 26th of August, 1840, for certain alleged improvements in boxes for the protection of papers from fire. The defer.dant set up aeveral defences, which he would not take exactly in their proper order. Ist. He said that there was no proper specifica tionof this patent. 2dly. Th a t Mil ner, t h e patentee, was not theinventor ; also, that it was not a new invention, that it was not a useful invention; and that, at all events, the defendant bad not infringed the patent. He had taken the evidence very fully, and if the jury thought it would assist them he would read it over. The Jury intimated that they did not think it necessary. Lord CAMPBELL then said, he should shortly direct their attention to the several questions they were to determine, for they were all for their determination. With regard to the in fringement, he would repeat the direction he had before given them. Here was the specification, and although he thought this issue was hardly disputed, they must consider whether an ordinary workman, of ordinary skill, looking at it, could make one of the boxes it described. The witnesses had said that an ordinary workman, in their judgment, would be able to do so. The next issue was with regard to the novelty of the inven tion. The third and fourth were so much alike that they might be taken as part of the same question. It lay on the plaintiff to show that this was a new invention, and if he gave prima facie evidence that it was so, the defen dant would have to show that it was not. Now there was cer tainly strong evidence on the part of the plaintiff to show that It was new. It was for them to say whether it was properly an invention for the protection of papers against fire. The papers were locked in an iron box, having cases enclosed, leaving chambers between ti e two cases, and the object was to have some substance that would give out a moisture upon the appli cation of the heat, and the steam thus produced was to be in closed in the box and moisten the papers so that they might be preserved from the effects of fire. There had been several wit nesses of respectability on both sides, although several of those called for the defendant had only recently turned their atten tion to this subject. Several witnesses for the plaintiff said that, although there bad been an addition to the old safe which consisted merely of a single iron box, a mode having been in troduced of having an outer box, the great object was to in troduce some non-conducting substance, so that the operation of heat might be retarded as much as possible ; but that there was nothing until Mr. Milner's patent to moisten the papers by the operation of steam. On the part of the defendant, be chiefly relied on Marr's and Chubb's patents, and it would be for them to say whether those patents were not confined to introducing non-conductors. The object of both was to save papers from destruction, but the mode and operation was the question in dispute. He had been puzzled to know the difference between the two patents of Marr and Chubb, and he afterwards found from one of the witnesses that there was no distinction between them. They both had non-conductors in the inner case, but neither seemed to have had the slightest contemplation of any liquid, as their object was rather to have substances as dry as possible, but had no notion of a liquid which ;vas to be condensed into steam to moisten the papers in the inner case. They had heard the evidence, and it would be for them to say whether they were satisfied that the invention which Mr. Milner set out in his specification was known before the date of hispatent. If they thought it was, they would find that issue for the defendant ; and if they thought it was not, they would find it forthe . _ The third and fourth issues were substantially the same, being" that Mr. Milner was not the inventor, and the invention was not new. If Mr. Milner was the inventor, the invention was new; and if he was not the inventor, it was not new. Then came the issue of whether it was useful, and he must say he had been astonished to find such strong evidence of its useful ness. Up to this hour he had no idea that there were any human means of so effectually preserving papers from the action of fire. it appeared that, by means of the condensation of steam, the papers enclosed in the inner box were rendered moist. It was a comfort for one to know that there was an in vention, by which valuable documents might be rendered secure, notwithstanding the terrible calamity of fire breaking out in a house. Although the defendant had thought fit to tay it was not useful, he was really at a loss to say what evidence there was to raise any doubt as to its utility ; but the question was for them alone. Now came the direction he should give them in point of law, and in this they must be guided by what he said. He thought there might be an infringement, although the de fendant did not use vessels, pipes, or tubes for containing the liquid. All the rest lie left to them ; but he only said that it was not indispensably necessary that the defendant should use pipes, tubes, or artificial vessels, but they were to consider whether the evidence was sufficient to convince them that the defendant had infringed the patent. They would bear in mind that respectable proessors from King's College, and other seminaries of learning, had been called for the defendant, and they would consider whether they disproved the infringement. Tann's patent could only be evidence on the ground of went, kir it was not taken out until nearly for sold T r years n a n t n te ,s r Milner's; but if, as it wou ld a ppear that rirr boxes, he could not say that they were not to look to Tann's specification, if they came to theconclusion that the boxes made by Tann we re t h e same as those Milner described in his specifi cation. They were to look on all the evidence on either side bearing on these issues ; and if they thought that, although the boxes that the defendant sold did not contain any pipes, tubes, or artificial vessels for containing the liquid, they contained alum and other substances from which moisture was to be ex tracted by heat; if they thought they were substantially the same as Milner's, they would find that issue for the plaintiff; ought they were not the same as Milner's, for the - were at liberty to find that issue for the hp det.ndsint did not us. any pipes, tubes, ess was substan- ned effeei-Oehamtleel and material kept hur, THE LIVERPOOL STANDARD, TUESDAY, JUNE 15, 1852. TUESDAY XORNING, JUNE 15, 1852. THE WEEK. PARLIAMENT has been slowly progressing during the week towards a wind-up of the business of the session, which - might have been accomplished some time ago, but for the obstructive proceedings of the Irish brigade, and some members of the " Liberal" party, who seem loth to resign their senatorial dig nities into the hands of their constituents. On Tuesday the motion of Mr. SPOONER, for an in quiry into the system of teaching in Maynooth College, occupied a morning sitting of four hours, without apparently arriving any nearer to its termi nation, the Irish members being determined to weary out the patience of the country ; and unless a determined effort be made to compel a vote the next time the question comes on for discussion, as promised by Mr. NEWDEGATE, Mr. SPOONER will probably have to leave it for a more honest house to deal with. On Wednesday the little episode afforded by Mr. FEARGUS O'CONNOR relieved for a time the dulness which has so long pervaded the parliamen tary atmosphere. Never was there a more striking instance of the gullibility of the many-headed public than the career of this crazed native of the Emerald Isle. Without a particle of genius or eloquence— with, in fact, nothing to aid him beyond an unscru pulous conscience, a brazen and boisterous manner, and a voluble tongue, FEARGUS succeeded at one time in raising himself to the highest pinnacle of demagognism ; was the oracle of hundreds of thousands of our manufacturing population ; and, but for his innate cowardice, might have brought about a state of wide spread anarchy. It was through no mean channel that he at length entered the House of Commons as representative of an English borough, being returned by the votes of one of Mr. ions BRIGHT'S " Centres of Intelli- Bence"—the manufacturing town of Nottingham— the stronghold for years of Sir JOHN CAM HOB.. HOUSE, and more recently of Mr. WALTER, pro prietor of the London Times. It is little creditable to such a " Centre of Intelligence," and to borough constituencies in general, which are asserted to be so superior to those of our counties, that Notting ham should, for even an hour, have afforded its guarantee of respectability to a charlatan so dis honest, that his real, or affected, idiocy alone pre serves him from public execration. The proceedings of the remainder of the week have been "flat, stale, and unprofitable," weary to read, and, when read, presenting little worthy of being remembered. _ Beyond the walls of Parliament, we question if there exists a human being who would not be rejoiced to learn that Her Majesty had sent her faith ful Commons to the places from whence they came; and few would grieve if a considerable number of them were kept there. Despite the factious obstruc tions, however, by which they have been assailed, Government has succeeded in carrying through Parliament many important measures. The canvass in Liverpool goes on briskly. Mr. CARDWELL has been addressing audiences of all descriptions, in his usual unintelligible style; and Mr. ER ART has been saying "ditto." On Satur day morning, the former left Liverpool, as one of his Whig-Radical organs pompously assured us, " to dine with the Archbishop of CANTERBURY !" We hope he had the thoughtfulness to take with him, for his grace's perusal, a copy of his speech at the meeting of the Protestants of all descriptions on Friday evening. A correct description of his com panions and supporters at the meeting in question would enlighten the Archbishop as to the peculiar fitness of Mr. CARDWELL to be a member of a certain commission connected with the Church of England, to which his grace rather infelicitously appointed him. On one memorable occasion, Mr. CARDWELL himself suggested the application of the adage, "noscitur a sociis." He ought not to complain if the archbishop were to parody his speech on that occasion, and say to him,—" Dear CARDWELL, I see you with a Socinian Radical on one hand, a Radical on the other, and a Papist rab ble around you, cheering your professions of attach ment to Protestantism and civil and religious liberty; and, of course, you must be the same sort of firm friend and supporter of the Established Church of England and Ireland as you proved to be the supporter of the principle of the Navigation Laws." Of the whereabouts of his fellow-candi date, we have heard nothing since the departure of No doubt he is in solitude, somewhere about the neighbourhood of the Red Noses, engaged in the arduous task—for him—of hatching an idea. There has been a degree of soreness manifested by the party during the week, which is obviously the result of a growing conviction that their spas modic efforts to gull the electors of Liverpool are ridiculously in vain. Their mob and packed audiences may shout loudly enough to deceive the uninitiated ; but the books of their canvassers are, we are assured, anything hut satisfactory. Nor can this be wondered at, when we look at the sort of clap-trap assertions upon which the party rely for advancing their cause. For example, we find Mr. CARDW ELL, at a meeting of Kirkdale, Vauxhall, and Scotland Wards, on Tuesday last, uttering the following inconsequential bombast : " How many ships are there in Liverpool that cannot get a freight ? (None.) How many carpenters that can not get a day's wages ? (` Not ten ;' and another voice, Not one.') Is the price of bread, and all the other comforts of life, higher now than in '42 ? (Cheers, and cries of No !') I hold in my hand a return, which I moved for myself, of the quantity of export goods sent to foreign parts ; and I find that, in '42, the town of Liver pool sent out twenty millions and a half worth, while, in 1850, it was very hard upon thirty-five millions—(cheers) or more than half as much again. Well, now, that means that more than half as many porters, half as many ships, half as many of all the trades constituting the greatness and power of Liverpool were employed as were before." There is not an intelligent voter in Liverpool who cannot tell Mr. CARDWELL why it is that, just now, he is enabled to say that there are few ships which cannot get a freight, and that the carpenters are tolerably well employed. Australia has effected this change within the past two months—not free trade, or the repeal of the navigation laws. But, moreover, every such voter knows the dishonesty of contrasting either 1850, or 1852, against 1842, as a proof of the soundness of the policy of the repeal of the navigation laws, which only took effect in 1849. The assertion that " more than half as many porters, half as many ships, half as many of all the trades constituting the greatness and power of Liverpool were employed (in 1850) as were before," is simply untrue ; and no one knows that it is so better than these classes and trades themselves. These men know, and feel bitterly, that with cheapness of food they have had dimi nished employment, and means of buying it. In proof of this fact, we append an extract from a letter from a respectable sailmaker—one of the trades referred to—who has sent us his card, denying the assumptions of Mr. CARDWELLL and his friends : have been made as to the composition of the jury ; but this we pass over, as of course it was accidental, the panel being formed in the usual way. The chief complaint, however, is against the verdict, imputing the whole blame to subordinate parties, and most of it to the clerk, PHILIP CODE, whilst Mr. PICTON, the architect, is the only one entirely exonerated. Mr. CODE was strictly Mr. PICTON'S servant; and for the servant's acts the employer is generally re garded to some extent responsible. The architect is surely bound to see that the work entrusted to him, whether sublet to contractors or not, is properly executed ; and he is also the party to give an opinion as to whether and when the building is fit to be oc cupied with safety. This appeared to be the opinion of the Coroner, from a question put by him to Mr. RISHTON, the building surveyor : that question, however, was not pressed so as elicit a complete ansu er. There is another question, too, which pro bably will on some future occasion have to be an swered, viz.,—was the building itself of that sub stantial character which it ought to have been, considering the purposes for which it was designed? Were the upper arches so strong—half-a-brick thick, or 4? inches, in the crown, the lower being a brick, or 9 inches thick—as they ought to have been ? Mr. EDWARD Woons, C.E., who was called upon to make a report to the jury, was not very strong in his opinion upon this point. In cross-examination, he stated that, had the mortar of the upper arches been consolidated, the accident would not have oc curred ; but he added the qualifying condition, which we do not observe to be reported, "if ordinarily loaded." Out of evil, however, good sometimes flows ; and unfortunate as this accident has been, which hur ried suddenly into eternity two human beings, it may save the life of hundreds if it only teach us to look for something more than cheapness in our pub lic buildings. Cheap architecture is quite as dan gerous as low contracts. NATIONAL SCHOOL SOCIETY FOR three years past the venerable and valuable society, known as the National Society, has exhibited a scene of strife and disagreement at its annual meetings. The high church members, led on by Archdeacon DENISON, wished to make the society, in its rules and details, more exclusively of a church character ; the moderate and low-church members, of whom Mr. GIRDLESTONE, near Bol ton, is one of the most active, deprecated all agita tion on the subject. The grounds of difference were mainly of two kinds. On the one hand, the minutes of the Education Committee of the Privy Council, while Sir J. P. KAYE SHUTTLEWORTH, Bart., was the secretary, were all in the direction of popular and lay government for the schools; while a very large number held that the clerical element should have much more influence, some maintaining that the clergy should exercise exclu sive controul over the schools. On the other hand, Mr. FLETCHER, one of the Government inspectors, had asserted that though the charter of the society sets forth that the children of the poor are to be educated "in the catechism of the Established Church," yet that, from consideration for dissenters and other causes, this rule was delibe rately and systematically violated in at least one half the schools. The annual meeting, on Thursday last, was a scene of much greater harmony than usual. It was announced, amidst loud cheers, that such modifica tions were already adopted in the arrangements respecting national schools as would enable the society heartily to cooperate with the Government for the education of the poor. This seemed to afford a settlement of one of the points at issue; for though the modifications may not give to the clergy man of any particular parish or district all the power which was sought by some, they will probably go as far as is at all prudent or necessary in that direction. On the other question, it appeared that a memorial had been forwarded from the well-known Mr. KEBLE, praying for an investigation into the truth of Mr. FLETCHER'S allegations; and the commit tee had passed a resolution requesting each Bishop to investigate and report how far it was true in . 1 / 4 .savvi3 Vl ms own Un these grounds, Archdeacon DENISON asked, and obtained, permission to withdraw the resolutions of which he had given notice, and the meeting broke up with unusual unanimity. It is gratifying to see the Church and the State rivalling each other to increase the education of the people. The Archbishop of CANTERBURY was right when he said that the Christian minister would in future have a better starting point for his labours ; the lump of clay would already have taken some useful shape. Since the last report, the society has aided in providing accommodation for 27,190 scho lars, and in building 104 teachers' houses ; and there are at present 9,831 schools connected with the society, exclusive of those united merely to diocesan boards. The receipts of 1851 amounted to more than £9,000 ; and the circulation of the society's monthly paper has risen from 4,000 to. 5,000. All these are facts of great interest and importance. Ewart and myself are the genuine descendants of Hus kisson and Canning (cheers) ; and I say, if you identify Yourselves with those who are now our opponents for the tumour of serving you, it will be a paradox recorded in history. When the world was dark Liverpool was light, and it was the freemen who did it." Messrs. Cardwell and Ewart the descendants of Canning and Huskisson ! The idea is excessively rich. Had the former honourable gentleman, indeed, compared himself to a Huskisson who had descended to wallow in the mire of Radicalism, and to sell his country and his plighted faith for place and pay, we might have acknowledged the aptness of the comparison. But Joseph Ewart and George Canning ! If the descendant of such a man as the disci ple of William Pitt be so small a personage ; if intellect is thus dwarfed in its transmission ; we shall have to look at the third or fourth generation of a Ewart through a microscope. To proceed, however : " when the world was dark Li verpool was light, and it was the freemen who did it." We can imagine a gudgeon snapping at a bare hook, but not a freeman of Liverpool so greedy of laudation as to swallow such palpable blarney, coming from a gentleman whose fellow-candidate for their suffrage is Mr. Ewart. For no freeman of Liverpool ought to forget that it was that gentleman and his party who so bitterly reviled them, and did their utmost to deprive them of their birthright—the franchise—for having had the blindness not to recognise the talents of his intelligent brother, William. Liverpool " was light" on that occasion; too light to allow her burgesses to mistake a barn-door fowl for an eagle, or 'William Ewart for a philosopher. And it will prove to be too light now for Mr. Joseph's true dimensions to be mistaken. MR. CARDWELL ON THE BALLOT.—Another amusing specimen of the honourable candidate's notion of a straightforward answer was afforded at the same meeting, on Tuesday night. We give it verbatim, as a gem of its kind. The question was as to his opinion upon the sub jects of universal suffrage and the ballot : " Though I believe the more of my townsmen that had votes the higher I should be upon the poll, yet I am not prepared to declare myself in favour of universal suffrage. With regard to the ballot, I have never yet seen the mode in which it is to be made effective ; and though I fully believe the ballot would be greatly in my personal advan tage,—for there is many a man whose silent aspirations will be in my favour who will not be without difficulty in going to the poll—(loud cheers, and a voice, " I know it" ;)—yet, I have so much confidence in the growing pro gress of the age, that I hope every man will be able soon to give his vote without being afraid to avow it." What a mixture of hot and cold, sweet and sour, is this ? Politicians of every shade may derive comfort from it; yet the candidate may vote any way he pleases, and still remain "an honourable man." One portion of it is ex tremely good. " There is many a man," he says, " whose silent aspirations will be in my favour, who will not be without difficulty in going to the poll." Pray how many may there be amongst Mr. Cardwell's supporters whose " silent aspirations" are the other way," but who dare not gratify them ? How many are there whom even the ballot would not protect ?—for the priest and the confes sional are stronger than the ballot. WHIG-RADICAL " PROGRESS" WHERE TO ? - The staple of Mr. Cardwell's many addresses,—the expression which pervades them all,—is the necessity of " progress ing." We are to " move on" to some place, or some condition ; but he does not condescend to tell us where or what it is. " Move on," he cries— " ' Through mud, through mire, Over thorn, over brier'— And never mind, for we lead ! Were you ever so well off ? Bread is cheap. The shilling loaf is down to six pence. Sugar and coffee are reduced one-half. Free trade has done it all; so move on ! Carry out this blessed system I" And the senseless members of his audiences throw up their hats in ecstatic admiration at the prospect of the shilling loaf for threepence, and still cheaper sugar and coffee. Thus Jack Cade, in olden time, led on his motley followers to London Stone. Perhaps, however, his modern imitator will condescend to tell that portion of the public who have something to lose, where all this " progress" is to end. The Agricultural interest, the Co lonial interest, and the Shipping interest, have been plun dered to enable him to reduce the shilling loaf to six pence, and the pound of sugar to fourpence. And he tells us—at the meeting on Wednesday—" we are but at the beginning of our career ;" we have only got a modi cum of cheapness yet. Who, then, are to be the next victims sacrificed ? We presume, however, that when the property of the landowner, the colonial proprietor, and the shipowner have been swallowed up, that of some other class must follow. What is a Church, if it stands in the way of a cheaper loaf ? Down with it ! will be the cry. Shall the Fundholder stand in the way of the abolition of And then, one after another, the classes who labour for the home market must be reduced, to bring about further cheapness for those whose privilege it is to manufacture for the foreigner. A cheap house, a cheap plough, a cheap cart, a cheap loom, must be had. And these must be se cured by cheapening the labour of the brickmaker, the bricksetter, the carpenter, the smith, and the mechanic. The result must be a universal level of cheapness, degra dation moral and physical, and a final scramble for the wealth amassed by the selfish out of the folly and misery of their fellow-creatures. Let those, who are just now cheering Mr. Cardwell's "progress," talk-trace for them selves the picture to its completeness. Let the working classes especially contemplate it well ! MR. CARDWELL'S FENCING ON THE MAYNOOTH QUESTION.—As the week's canvass was drawing to a close, the fact seems to have forced itself upon Mr. Cardwell's committee that some declaration of his opinion upon the subject of Maynooth must be attempted ; and accordingly, at a meeting of the Pitt-street ward, on Thursday morning last, the following declaration, so far as is reported by the Whig-Radical press, was made by him in reply to a question from a party present : " All he had got to say was this, that if electors were determined to vote for no members except those who would vote for a dispassionate inquiry, but would vote at once for the unconditional withdrawal of the grant, with out any consideration about it, then they must not vote for any supporter of Lord Derby, because Lord Derby and his government told them that was not their policy. The honourable member, in the course of some further obser vations, said he was prepared to vote for an inquiry into the subject of Maynooth." We have, in this unintelligible jumble of words, a striking example of the difficulty experienced by Mr. Cardwell in giving a straight forward answer to any question. He was asked for his own opinion, not that of Lord Derby's Government. He did at last, however, get round the difficult corner, and informed the meeting that " he is prepared to vote for an inquiry into the sub ject of Maynooth," and thereby " made a convert" of a worthy baker present, and, at the same time, no doubt satisfied the party who had suggested his explanation on the subject " that he is"—to use that party's own words— " as good a Protestant as Mr. Mackenzie or Mr. Turner." But we would remind those of the electors who, unlike old birds, " are naught with chaff," that there is scarcely a member of the " brass band" who, whilst doing the Pope's bidding by obstructing Mr. Spooner's motion, has not expressed his willingness that an inquiry should be instituted. The " brigade," in this respect, are as good Protestants as Mr. Cardwell. The material question is— What is the kind of inquiry which the honourable gentleman is prepared to vote for ? An inquiry before a Committee of the House of Commons, as moved for by Mr. bpooner, empowered to take evidence and to examine class-books ; or one, which Mr. H. Herbert has sug gested, to be conducted by the visitors of the College ? an inquiry, the evidence upon which will be made patent to the world ; or one which will be a mockery and a delusion ? We warn the Protestant electors of Liverpool that the latter—the delusion—is the sort of inquiry for which alone Mr. Cardwell is prepared to vote I If this is doubted—that the inquiry which Mr. Cardwell is prepared to institute be not one which is to lead to no result—let the electors weigh well the tone of Mr. Card well's remarks upon the same subject, at the meeting on Friday last. His inquiry, he says, is to be " a calm and dispassionate inquiry." What does that mean? Nobody surely expects that the committee of the House of Com mons is to be packed. It is not to be "an inquiry with a foregone conclusion." Nobody asks for such a one. He describes his meaning still more distinctly, however, when he says that " if they"—the Government—" on their responsibility, find an inquiry is necessary, I think they ought to institute it themselves." Of course, then, Mr. Cardwell is not a supporter of the motion before the house for a select committee, but of another sort of inquiry than that which it contemplates. But if such inquiry should result in proving that the teaching in Maynooth is subversive of the peace and the Protestant institutions of Great Britain, what would Mr. Cardwell advise them ? Why, he would let Maynooth continue at the cost of the British people, to propagate her ultra-montane doctrines through the land, and to stir up disaffection against For he says, in order to deter us 'rota acting upon the result of any inquiry, if it be unfavourable to Maynooth existing institutions stion of endow ar, hear.)

Believe me, they who would tell you that they are about to support the sudden withdrawal of one par ticular endowment, without having any consideration or regard to the necessary consequences of that step, have either looked very little into the circumstances of the case with which they presume to deal—deserve very little the character of calm and dispassionate statesmen, or else they are very reckless of the consequences which they are about to inflict on the community. (Great applause.) Because, gentlemen, the true difficulty is this :—You know how great a fire a small spark kindles. (Hear, bear, and cheers.) These suggestions of outrage, or other evil consequences, were made to a packed body of rabid political Dissenters and Roman Catholics. Be the result of inquiry what it may, we are not to interfere with the endowment of Maynooth We are to be quiescent, humble, submissive, under the domination of a yoke which we dare not throw off! So much for Mr. Cardwell's Protestantism, and manly British spirit. MR. CARDWELL AND " PAPAL AGGRESSION."—Not a word on this subject has our worthy misrepresentative uttered during the whole of his canvas ! His views with respect to Maynooth, however, fully warrrnt us in arriving at the conclusion that the Pope may go on insulting the Sovereign and the peopleof this Protestant land, unchecked by any government of which Mr. Cardwell may form a leading member. That gentleman, along with Sir James Graham, has lately leagued himself with Messrs. Bright and Milner Gibson, and looks, like them, for the support of the democracy, and of the Popish elements of the country. Do the electors of Liverpool wish to learn the real sentiments of those allies ? We beg to extract for their perusal the following statement from the Manchester Courier, premising that the Romanist and revolutionary party in Manchester speak out, on most occasions, with less reserve than here : "A meeting of ' the Irish league,' in favour of Messrs. Gibson and Bright, was held the other day, the inducements to a large attendance of men, women, and children, being a liberal supply of ale and whiskey on the platform ! With such means of inspiration at hand, one can scarcely be surprised at anything that was said. But as men usually clothe in language prin ciples of some sort, we may as well cull from a report that was taken of the proceedings one or two avowals of the political and religious principles that animate these friends of Messrs. Gibson and Bright. One man, a Mr. Cleary said, 'That the Established Church must be rotten, so long as England had on the throne a tnonarch by right of descent.' He called upon Englishmen, as an act of justice, to ' let them govern themselves.' He then appealed to his countrymen to do their duty. Their cause was worth contending for—and it was worth dying for.'—A Mr. Willis said, ' That England would never be happy until she returned to the " Old Religion" again.' (Tre mendous cheering.)—A Mr. Daley suggested the immediate formation of wards and sections, as in the case of Mr. Brotherton's election (although he had shamefully betrayed them), and that all shopkeepers and others who had a vote should be visited by their customers, and urged to give their support to Bright and Gibson.' He said that " All non-electors, too, had a legitimate right to use such means, and that if they neglected to exercise the right, they would be held responsible before the altar of their country." Surely this is significant enough ! Yet the men who seek to be returned by this pleasant constituency would cer tainly form a portion of that " ministry of progress," of which Sir James Graham would be the head, and Mr. Edward Cardwell an important limb ! FOREIGN NEWS. FRANCE. The most exciting topic of conversation in Paris at the present time is the rupture between the Government and the Constitutionnel. Having been " warned" a first time, Dr. Veron again declared his belief that the articles on Belgium were authorized, and completely laid bare the nature of his own connection with the President. The result was that on 'Wednesday morning a second notice was served upon the conductors of the paper, and it can now be suppressed at any moment the Ministry, or rather Louis Napoleon chooses. Another curious feature of the law on the press has been developed during the week. The Paris correspondents of three morning papers, the Chronicle, Daily News, and Advertiser, have been sum moned to the Ministry of Police, where they were told by the director, M. Dumoulin, that if the papers they re presented contained any further misrepresentations of Louis Napoleon, or that if even in a leading article the Prince was aspersed, the correspondent should be imme diately expelled from, and the journal prohibited entering. France. A special exemption was made in favour of the Times, which, although the director called it bitter and severe, yet, to use his own words, put " both the black and the white" before its readers. Lord Cowley, the British Ambassador at Paris, has applied to the French Ministers of Police and Foreign Affairs, for explanations as to the threat of expelling the correspondents of the English journals from that city. In case the explanations should prove unsatisfactory his lordship will. it is stated. seek runner instructions from the home Government. There will be, however, considerable difficulty in the way of any official interference, as the law of France authorizes the Government to expel any foreigner from that country after twenty-four hours' notice, and without assigning any reason. The agents of Louis Napoleon have taken possession of the Forest of Eu, and of other domains belonging to the estate. The furniture, paintings, &c., of M. Victor Hugo are advertised for sale by auction, and that gentleman, with his family, is about to take up his residence in Jersey. The Moniteur contradicts a rumour, the belief in which Lad caused much satisfaction, namely, that the Govern ment meant to introduce a law for the prevention of Sun day labour. Every person who has visited Paris knows that on Sunday house-building, and the hardest labour of all kinds, are carried on without interruption. " TO THE EDITOR OF THE LIVERPOOL STANDARD " SIR,—In last Saturday's Journal's ' Talk,' it was said, in talking of the blessed effects of ' Free Trade,' and the folly of grumbling at its blessings, that there was not now idle in this town a single sailmaker, rigger, &c. Now, what is the fact ? There are now a great many idle sailmakers, riggers, &c . ; and we re it no t f or some vessels fi tting out for Australia (which is an unexpected event here) they would be all next to idle. This is a true fact, whatever the idle talk may say to the contrary ; and those who are acquainted with the true state of trade about the docks will confirm this. (Signed) " A LOVER OF TRUTH." On Wednesday we were favoured with an expo sition of the sentiments of Mr. JOHN CHEETHANI, the League candidate f or th e county. Th e wort h y gentleman is an indifferent specimen of his class, tolerably well up in League literature, and, for want of an opposition, we presume will be member for South Lancashire. It is right that such a sample of the intelligence of a constituency swamped by fictitious 40s. freeholds should be allowed to exhibit his ignorance in public. A gentleman who talks of "the decline of shipbuilding in Prussia" (!) and maintains that ships built on the Baltic " will not cost less than -£l7 per ton," and yet, by a fiction, is considered as the representative of the great port of Liverpool, is rather a curiosity. In the mean time, it is singular that, whilst the Newall's-buildings faction in Manchester are permitted to foist this very —taleybridge philosopher upon the electors of , with Lancashire—upon the principle, we suppose, "omne ignotum pro nzagnifico"—the same faction is likely to be hard pushed to return its own sweet-tern pered JOHN BRIGHT, and his flunkey, Mr.MILNER GIBSO.N.

J. E. GLADSTONE So far as the ordinary tribunals of the country can decide, the case which was pending between the Rev. J. E. GLADSTONE and the Bishop of LONDON has been determined in favour of the latter. It is said that an appeal to the House of Lords will take place, but probably nothing of the kind will occur, for it was a hopeless case from the first. The Bishop possesses the power to withdraw his license for the performance of divine service and the administra tion of the sacraments, from a certain unconsecrated chapel. He has so withdrawn it, not having the same confidence that the duties will be successfully discharged. He also possesses the power to forbid a certain clergyman to officiate within the limits of his diocese, and he has so forbidden Mr. GLAD STONE. This is the substance of the whole matter. It is clear that such extensive powers should not be exercised for party purposes, or on slight or capricious grounds ; and this the law assumes. It is equally clear that authority to maintain order must reside somewhere; and that a clergyman, however pure his intentions, should not use the pulpit which he occupies. for the utterance of tirades against the hierarchy. We have no doubt that the reverend gentleman will readily obtain an opportu nity for clerical usefulness in some other diocese, and that in future he will advocate such reforms as he seeks for, in a more temperate and prudent way. MR. CARDWELL'S ELECTIONEERING TRICKS OF THE PAST WEEK. OUR honourable misrepresentative, and his fellow-can didate, Mr. Ewart, have during the past week been en deavouring to mystify the electors in various parts of the borough, occasionally at what their newspapers call " overflowing public meetings," but chiefly in hole-and corner gatherings, the admission to which was by ticket, not procurable by any but their known supporters. How much of the actual proceedings of these private meetings have been permitted to transpire, we do not know ; whe the Whig aristocracy, and their candidates, ventured, whilst thus in the shade of privacy, to own their subjec tion to the party who wield the votes of the fabulous ele ven hundred Irish Romanists, or this little matter is ma naged in still closer conclave. We shall be enabled, how ever, to cull from the published reports a few extracts, sufficient to shew the peculiar tact with which Mr. Card well, in particular, adapts himself and his professions to the various audiences and classes whom he addresses. The following specimen may be headed his ATTEMPT TO BLARNEY THE FREEMEN.—At a meeting on Tuesday evening, of the electors of Kiri:dale, Vaux hall, and Scotland Wards, Mr. Card s reported to have uttered the following : " I saw the other day that an assemblage had been held, particularly of the freemen of Liverpool, to agitate against us. Well, I said, that is curious. It, was the freemen of Liverpool who, when nobody else had votes, " , rued Mr. Haskisson and Mr. C _ , the one the great a( .;ate of liberty, the other identified ith the ing to twocate of ( 3f Free and the relaxation of tl: want to tu, BELGIUM. The Belgian elections have closed, the result of which is decidedly favourable to the Government. The number to be chosen was 34, namely, 20 in Eastern Flanders, 18 in Hainaut, 11 in the province of Leige, and 5 in Limbourg. The Liberals, or Government candidates, have succeeded in carrying the election of 33, and the remaining 21 are of the clerical party. Government still continue to possess a large majority—it is calculated about 70. RUSSIA. Another step towards amalgamating the refractory Poles with the empire has been taken by the Czar, who has issued an imperial ukase, expressing his regret that the young Polish nobility prefer remaining idle to enlisting in the public service, and declaring that these feelings, so contrary to the duties of a gentleman, can be no longer tolerated. Certain compulsory regulations are therefore decreed. 4. AMERICA. ARRIVAL OF THE ATLANTIC On Wednesday, at noon, the United States mail steam ship Atlantic, Captain West, arrived in the Mersey, from New York, whence she sailed at noon on the 29th ult., but was detained off Sandy Hook until the following morning at five a.m., by the prevalence of a dense fog. The Atlantic brought 150 passengers, 520,000 dollars in specie, and the usual mails. Among the passengers were M. and Madame Gold schmidt, (Jenny Lind), who, on landing, proceeded to the residence of John Bate, Esq., the Swedish Consul. The Senate had confirmed the grant to The Collins' line of steamers by 27 to 19 ; the pay to be increased to 30,000 dollars per trip. Meagher, who had effected his escape from the penal settlement of Van Dieman's Land, arrived in New York two days before the Atlantic sailed. ARRIVAL OF THE AFRICA. Me Royal Mail steam-ship Africa, Harrison, com mander, with letters and papers from New York to the 2nd instant, arrived in the Mersey on Saturday evening. Sho brought 101 passengers, and 408,374 dollars in specie on freight. Tho Africa sailed from New York at 12.15 p.m., on the 2nd instant. During the run she experienced variable winds and weather. At 2.22 a.m., she made Tory Island Light ; at 4 p.m.. was abreast the Calf of Man ; at 7.40 p.m., passed the Royal Mall steam-ship Niagara ; and 9.57 p.m., saluted the Rock Lighthouse, having ac complished the run in 10 days, 4 hours, and 57 minutes. On the 7th she steamed 321 ; on the Bth, 311 ; and on the 10th 300 miles. The United States' Mail steam-ship Arctic, Luce, com mander, arrived at New York on the 30th ult. ; and the Royal Mail steam-ship Asia, Judkins, commander, on the 2nd instant. The Liverpool and Philadelphia screw steam-ship City of Manchester, Leitch, commander, would leave Phila delphia for this port on the 3rd instant, and the Liverpool and New York screw steam-ship Great Britain, Mathews, commander, would leave New York for this port on the sth instant. The advices by this arrival are altogether devoid of in terest. The California mails, which were fully due at New York, had not arrived when the Africa left that port. The proceedings in Congress have been purely of a domestic nature. Both branches of the legislature had adjourned for a few days, to allow the members an oppor tunity of attending to their engagements in connexion with the forthcoming presidential election. Captain Mathews had given a fete on board the Great Britain steam-ship, which was attended by a large con course of people. The convention held by the Roman Catholic ch. the United States, at Baltimore, was deliberating with closed doors. It had been allowed to transpire, however that one of the principal to , ' sition to say mass in E, rgy of cs of discussion was a propo instead of Latin.
