Mr. Evans, on behalf of the assignees, opposed the granting of the certificate, on the ground of the loose principle on which the bankrupt had carried on his business. His balance sheet, which commenced from April 24th, 1847, showed that there was owing to various creditors a sum of £2,558 15s. 5d., to meet which the assets could be valued at the utmost as only £1,325 ss. 2d. The bankrupt had begun with borrowed capital, and had several places of busi ness in the town. There were eight acceptances put down from a man in bankrupt's own employment, which were not very satisfactorily explained. The bankrupt had placed in the hands of one party, as security for their account, a title deed, which was in reality not worth a farthing. Mr. Thorburne, for the bankrupt, contended that there was nothing to show guilty intent on the part of his client, and :argued that all: he had done was with the view of gradually reducing the amount of his liabili ties. His Honour reserved judgment until to-day.---Re Pryde, Jones, and Co.: An adjourned meeting of the cre ditors in this case took place this morning, when there was a large attendance of both tradesmen and merchants. His Honour inquired why there was no balance-sheet ready, and ordered one to be prepared and filed before the 6th of February, the examination to be adjourned till the 18th of February. Several proofs were handed in from creditors. Sir George Stephen then proceeded to examine Mr. Butler, of the firm of H. and J. Johnston, bankers, London, relative to some transactions he had had with Mr. Pryde. The examination lasted several hours, but nothing of public interest was elicited, and the whole of Mr. Butler's evidence was not gone into. It will be resumed on this day week before Mr. Com missioner Stevenson. &PPREIIENSIONS, LAST NrunT.—Two parties, named Michael Cain and Samuel Gale, were last evening lodged in the lock-up here ; the former charged with bur glary at West Derby on Sunday evening last, and the latter for housebreaking in Tarlton-street, in this town. Cain is supposed to be connected with a party of thieves, who were before the bench yesterday. A FIDDLER IN A SCRAPE.—On Saturday, about mid night, as Mr. Denis Mealy was returning homewards after delighting " a select circle" with the dulcet strains of his violin, in an open air concert, he was set upon in Edge hill by four or five men, who insisted on satisfying them selves as to the exact number of chords Mr. Mealy gene rally performed upon, and how many " strings" there were to his " bow." The disciple of Paganini resisted their "overtures," when one of them, named Edward Hughes, struck —not a " note," but—a blow, upon Mr. Mealy's " wind instrument," better known, perhaps, as his nasal "organ," which had the effect of making the fiddler produce a very plaintive melody, in the shape of a call for " police," who were fortunately at hand, and took the assailant into custody. He was brought up at the police-court yesterday morning, and sent to prison for two months as a punishment for assaulting the musical artist. OUR NATIONAL DEFENCES.—The recent statements which have been put forth regarding the inefficiency of the army and navy, appear to be taken up by the military authorities, at the Horse Guards, if we may judge from the bustle and activity which now prevails among the several recruiting parties stationed in this town. Yester day their rendezvous, at the bottom of Shaw's-brow, pre sented a very active appearance, and judging from what was going on, we should, to use a mercantile phrase, say " that a large business was done," and that numbers of fine healthy daring young fellows took " the shilling," as an earnest of their desire to serve their Queen and coun try, and defend them from all aggression. As an induce ment to the aspiring and unemployed youths of the district to take to the profession of arms, and become the bold sons of Mars, the recruiting parties are pretty liberal in the supply of drink. AUSTRALIA IN THE LlGHT.—Picture to yourselves, in the midst of the ocean surrounded with precipitous rocks, and nearly opposite to England, a vast forest diversified with mountains and valleys; innumerable places without a tree ; rivers, some of these consisting only of a chain of ponds ; others of them, after running for hundreds of miles through extensive tracts of fertile soil, suddenly disappear ing in the midst of arid sand ; while others of them roll their majestic streams for a thousand miles, until they min gle their waters with the ocean ; here and there, like an oasis in the wilderness, a solitary patch of cleared land, with a hut constructed of slabs and bark in the rear ; a tribe of naked blacks, carrying their weapons of war, roaming across the distant plains; large tracts of open forest land, resembling a gentleman's domain in England, but occupied by only the kangaroo and the emur, which 'seem to claim and enjoy hereditary possession ; lofty ranges, covered with the most beautiful verdure to their very summits ; extensive lagoons, darkened with legions of wild ducks and teal, the property of any man who may choose to shoot them ; innumerable birds of the most beautiful plumage, chirping on every branch around you ; flowers, of every hue and shade of colour, strewing your path wherever you go ; above you an Italian sky, without a cloud or speck, and the air you inhale pure and balmy ; a fearful silence pervading the forest around you, and vividly impressing your mind with the idea of solitude and desolation—that is Australia.—From Mackenzie's Ten Years in Australia AUSTRALIA IN THE SHADE.—Picture to yourselves, nearly opposite to England, a colony, a large proportion of whose population are convicts or transported felons ; where bands of armed robbers or bush-rangers are daily committing depredations ; where one hundred and six teen sentences of capital conviction have been passed within one twelvemonth ; where swindling and drunk enness prevail ; where the churches are half empty ; where a large proportion of the settlers, shopkeepers and mer chants, have gone through the insolvent court, and paid their creditors with sixpence in the pound ; where the bank directors discount scarcely any bills, except their own, so as thus to monopolize all the tea and sugar in the market; where selfishness, and the cursed love of pelf, have destroyed all the fine feelings of human nature ; where the inhabitants are day and night tormented with legions of mosquitoes ; where the crops have often failed through excessive drought; where the navigable rivers are very few in number ; where the interior is, in most cases, badly watered ; where a large proportion of the soil is only a miserable scrub, scarcely yielding sustenance for goats ; where the timber is as hollow-hearted and as notorious for obliquity as the inhabitants ; and where, on looking amid the rural scenes for the evergreen, you see only the nevergreen—that is Australia.—Mackenzie's Ten years in Australia. LIVE AND LEARN.-Sir J. Perry says it is quite a mis taken idea to suppose that sugar injures the teeth. No persons have whiter teeth than the negroes, particularly during crop time ; and it is equally absurd to suppose that the use of sugar produces worms in children. Worms arise from an insufficiency of salt and bitters in the food of infants; provided those tonics be given, the more sugar is given to a child the greater will be its health and strength. Etberpoot -45ztanbarb+ TUESDAY MORNING, JAN. 20, 1852. REPRESENTATION OF LIVERPOOL. THE period is rapidly approaching at which parliament is appointed to meet. A ministry which is in so rickety a condition as to require a coalition which it could not procure, and which is so destitute of popularity as to be obliged to bribe a strong party with a Reform Bill which was not asked for, possesses few of the elements of perma nence. The days are numbered of their authority in office; they must appeal to the country; and we still have confidence that, notwithstanding agricul tural and commercial misfortunes, there is spirit enough to dictate a suitable response. In Liver pool, we ought to understand our position, and to arrange our movements. It is no disrespect to our present representatives to say that they possess few of the prominent qualifications for local usefulness. Their union with a commercial community is a sort of mechanical combination, in which the parts are still separate and separable ; neither of them has been "to the manner born." Our Town-council has often contained sound thinkers and good speakers, among those who have graduated in this "university of merchants ;" and we believe that if they only had confidence in themselves and in the good wishes of their fellows, we should find among the living men of past or present time, two in whose representation the town would heartily rejoice. The spiritual peers are considered the most competent to look after the interests of the church, and the judges to decide in matters of law; there are generals for the army, admirals for the navy, manu facturers and landowners to speak the sentiments and advocate the interests of their respective classes. Surely it is not too much to say that a commercial nation should have among its representatives com mercial men; and these, in our case, should not be found by accident among those that are selected for other constituencies, but deliberately fixed upon and wisely selected, by the most commercial town in the kingdom. THE MAYNOOTH QUESTION. A VERY important meeting is to be held this evening, in the Collegiate Institution. It :s to afford an opportunity for the laity to reconsider the whole question of the endowment of the Roman Catholic College of St. Patrick, at Maynooth ; and to adopt measures to force upon parliament the necessary revision of the whole subject. We offer no apology to our readers, as we are sure they require none, for anticipating some of the views that may be taken, or for noticing others that may possibly be overlooked. The establishment of this institution took place, by act of parliament, in the year 1795: This was during the former of Mr. Pitt's two adminis- trations, which extended from 1783 to 1801, and which included Earl Gower, the Dukes of Rutland and Richmond, Lords Mulgrave, Neville, Thurlow, Fitawilliam, &c. It must be borne in mind that, at this time, the Roman Catholics of Ireland were obliged to send for clerical education to the Con tinent ; and the expense unavoidably incurred was one reason why the demands of religion were often but inadequately supplied. The disturbed state of France, from the breaking out of the Revolution in 1789, the excitement which prevailed in Spain, Italy, and in Ireland itself, and the difficulty of communication, threatened, in a great degree, to deprive the Roman Catholics of clergy with the usual amount of qualifications. The Premier had, therefore, a cause of some weight to design when proposing this measu.e ; and almost every member in the house could verify his statement. There was another reason which had still more power with the majority. The disturbances which had originated in France were not limited either by the Rhine or the ocean ; they spread to other countries in which disaffection was smouldering, so that Baines appropriately designated his history as that of the " Wars of the French Revolution." Ireland had her grounds of complaint, and Eng land's extremity seemed to be her opportunity. There was no lack of political emissaries, crafty diplomatists, and skilful interpreters between French statesmen and insurgent British subjects. And who does the reader think these were ? The most able were the candidate and the inducted priests; yet none so readily eluded the grasp of the law. Itwas undeniable that they had a proper and satisfactory reason for visiting the Continent, and who could prove that they were not absorbed in the study of the Fathers, at Douay, the Sorbonne, Salamanca, or Rome. The confessional was a part of their religion, what right had any one to interfere with the confidences which were there given or received ? They spoke French, Italian, or Spanish fluently, English of course, and Irish in a large number of cases ; but were not these foreign tongues neces sary, for the intercourse which their connection required ? To these plain questions, it was vain to reply by presumptions, suspicions, moral convic tions. The Ministry yielded to what they believed to be a political necessity; they calculated that the price of home education would be well laid out in the prevention of excuses for rebellion; and it is sufficient to say that the Parliament coincided with them. We will not be understood as doing injustice to the Irish priests of foreign education. If they were sometimes lax in principle, we should bear in mind that the Jesuit was afoot then as well as now, and that no species of Jesuitism is so seducing as that which assumes the garb of patriotism, yet believes only what is on its own side. They were at laast men of the world, men of education, men of gentlemanly manners in social intercourse. None who remember the " Fathers" of the old school, who have probably all now vanished, but must remember the comparative respect with which they were looked upon even by the Protestants, laity and clergy. They were as superior to the vulgar tra ducers of the Cahill stamp, as Hercules to an ordinary man. The Act of 1795, then, was avowedly one of expediency. It left the question of principle open, whether a Government, Protestant in name and reality, may, with consistency or propriety, promote the teaching of doctrines that are anti-Protestant. Some opposed it on the latter or higher ground, and some no doubt on the former or lower; and to the present hour, the supporters and opponents of the Maynooth endowment both embrace these two classes of views. In the present state of human opinions, it seems as if those who stood on the ground of principle merely, would never secure the victory, however they may succeed in carrying conviction. The present is the age of expediency. The statesman yields to a strong necessity, but he seems to recognise that only ; and so long as he can make out a case, he has an argument against the man of principle which is at least sufficient for himself. He can besides resort to the argument of consistency ; which sometimes means perseverance in doing wrong. He asks why such an outcry is made about a few thousands to Popery in Ireland, as if Canada and Australia were not provinces of our united empire. Why do Protestants look to Leinster, Munster, and Connaught, while in Ulster, "the soul-destroying heresy" of Unitarianism is endowed ? Admitting that Popery is anti-Protest ant, there are other sects of whom less evil is spoken, who scarcely conceal the fact that they are anti-Christian. Now this form of the argument, specious as it is, we are prepared to meet. We are ready to follow the supporter of the Maynooth en dowment to his low ground of expediency ; and dislodged from that he has no other resort. At present there is no difficulty of communica tion with the continent, were that necessary; for cardinal and vicar, priest and layman, go and come at pleasure from Rome to Vienna, from Vienna to Westminster. However the nations may talk of war, this is, in effect, an age of peace. The Pope is wiser than in the days of his predecessors ; he does not lay one kingdom under an interdict, or excite a foreign enemy to invade us—he only dis charges at us an Apostolical letter. England too is wiser than France; her bayonets do not bristle around the Flaminian Gate, her first broadside is an Ecclesistical Titles Bill. Instead of bullets we have bulls; and instead of bloodshed we have a war of argument. But the electric telegraph gives the instantaneous announcement of intelligence, intercourse is carried on with the acknowledged expedition and cheapness of steam ; so that not a single facility existed in 1795 for communication with the continent, but is now increased, in some instances, ten-fold. And with regard to the dread of foreign politics, we have outgrown the hobgoblin fears of our child hood. In every English newspaper the speeches of the most rabid repealer or red-republican are reported as faithfully as if they were the holy counsels of a canonised saint. John Mitchell and Louis Blanc never had to find fault with mankind for overlooking their claims to public attention ; and there is as much pointless and powerless trea son recorded in single number of the Nation or the Tablet as would have sufficed to convulse a country in '9B. The cry of " Repeal" has died into an echo; the patriotism of the collecting-box is now a stale device ; the valour of the man of the vitriol bottles and the hero of the sword, has, like Bob Acres, oozed out at their finger ends; and the World newspaper, which supported "law and order," for a consideration, is dead and gone. The second arrangement of Pitt is therefore as weak as the first. We might send the ardent student abroad at government expense, so far as danger is concerned, to complete his education at New York or Vienna, in the purlieus of Paris, or the priestly atmosphere of Rome. And so far are we from fearing that he will learn to speak French, we only wish in the first instance that he will speak reason ably good English, and if convenient put his tongue on the civil list. But what is to be done, it will be asked, to secure the education of the Roman Catholic priest hood ? We reply, that is sufficiently cared for already. There is no fewer than ten Roman Catho lic Colleges in England, six of which are connected with the University of London ; and one in Scot land. These produce far more priests than are required to supply the ordinary spiritual wants of Great Britain. There are several in Wales, the principal of which is in the Vale of Clwyd, but the students in these are retained mainly for the Prin cipality. There are also English Colleges at Rome, Valladolid, Lisbon, and Douay ; and Scotch Col leges at Rome, Valladolid, and Ratisbon ; so that a deficiency in any part of the United Kingdom may meet with a ready supply. In Ireland, there are the Colleges of Carlow, Kilkenny, and Thurles, all connected with the University of London ; besides the College of St. Francis Xavier, at Belvi dere House, the Missionary College of Drumcon dra, the Colleges of Castleknork, Clongowes-wood, Wexford, Killarney, Waterford, and St. Jarlath's, Tuam. We have given this collection from the official lists, in the [English Roman] " Catholic Directory," for 1852, and the [lrish Roman] Catho lic Directory of a past year; yet it is evident that all are not enumerated, for where we find only twelve colleges recorded, the statistical list gives twenty-two in connexion with the various dioceses. If the College of Maynooth, therefore, were obliged to fall back to-morrow, upon its own resources, its buildings and land, granted by the Duke of Lein ster, the faithful would not be so en ti re l y destitute of education as Sir Robert Peel would have had us believe. But this is far from being the whole of the argu ment ; while the Roman Catholics have been in- creasing their exclusive colleges, the public have been forming open or truly Catholic ones. When it was boasted in menace that the country contained 9,000,000 of inhabitants, there was but one Uni- versity which poured its redundant undergraduates .. _ _ into the English dioceses ; and the Roman Catho- lics were mainly dependent upon Maynooth for __ _ their clergy. Now that the population is reduced to about 6,000,000, there are seven Colleges con nected with three Universities ! And besides those we have already mentioned, unconnected with any University, there is the College of St. Columba, at Stackallen, connected with the Established Church, an Independent College in Dublin, and a new Presbyterian College in Derry. Well ! It is a great comfort that if our little brother Patrick should turn out a bad scholar after all, we cannot accuse ourselves of neglecting his education. But the whole proceeding is thoroughly redolent of the shamrock. So long as nobody but Tommy Wyse talked of Provincial Colleges, it was easy to cari cature " Wise Tommy ;" but the moment that ----- Government declares its willingness to remedy the evil, every one else wanted the same thing. The nation may die of literary starvation, but the moment that the danger is removed, it must die of literary surfeit. Only one or two voices call for a straw to throw to the drowning man, but the _ moment he has reached the bank a thousand - - - - -- cumber him with assistance. Th e c li max of — all this absurdity is the projected " Catholic Univer sity;" a subject far too important to be disposed of in the tail of an article. In the meantime we heartily wish it—all the success it deserves ! The next evil with which Ireland has to contend, and England , too, is a new phase of political de- velopment. In the days of Pitt, it was contended that Pius VI. should take precedence of George 111. Equal laws were sought:for:naturally enough. but disloyalty was not openly boasted of. The patriots of more recent times always made a wide distinc• tion between the laws enaoted by Parliament, and the official or personal respect due to the Sovereign. Indeed, nowhere has " our beloved Queen" been more eulogised than in Ireland, where her name was required to supply an antithesis, or to modify a sentiment of rebellion. That transparent policy is now rarely practised. The guide in politics, as well as in faith, is admitted to be Pio Nono ; ex cept with those whose religion is not mere bigotry, and whose loyalty is more than a name. The name of this new principle, or old principle newly drag ged to light, is the somewhat un-euphonious one of "ultramontanism ;" and the revival of it will not he without its uses, as it will draw together Protestant hearts long disunited, and men will solemnly ask themselves what they have gained by the expediency which has brokeu down the battle ments and unbound the gates of the citadel. itself down the hill-sides, and spread over the low. land plains, of England ; and our blood and pedi• gree, as well as our national resources, have been enriched by a union with the Joneses, Hugheses, Robertses, and Williamses. There was a barrier to be passed, too, more difficult than Offa's dyke, and that was the more than Shibboleth of a dis tinct language; but what are difficulties to deter mined minds? In Scotland, the tendency to emi- gration has always been strong and unvarying. The young men pass readily to England, America, and the colonies; so that Dr. Johnson was fur nished with the taunt, that the pleasantest view a Scotchman ever saw was the road to London. The result is, that while agriculture, commerce, and the arts are in a flourishing condition in Scotland, the entire population of the ancient kingdom is equalled by that of London and its environs. But when a people set themselves down, like the Chinese or the Irish, with a stolid determination to increase and multiply within a ring fence, without regard to the laws of nature or the circumstances of nations, it requires no second sight to predict that, before any long period has elapsed, the beginning of the end of this s 3 stem must come. LATEST INTELLIGENCE. DIMINUTION OF POPULATION. THE " great difficulty" of a deceased statesman continues to be the great difficulty of divines, moralists, statesmen, and instructors. Temperance has done its best in improving the habits of the Irish people, but there is an intemperance in their feelings and dispositions that no pledge has ever yet eradicated. Warm in their attachments and anti pathies, quick in their emotions, generally light hearted, and with a violent party spirit pervading almost all classes of the community, it is not won derful that plausible impostors were eagerly listened to, till the people had sunk to a low level of de gradation. But when the night is darkest the dawn is nearest, and the facts which come hourly under our observation show us that the crisis of ignorance, calamity, and misgovernment is past. The evil of a redundant population, for example, has been met in a manner that was at once unex pected and irresistible. A succession of years of scarcity, which in particular districts amounted to actual famine, sent thousands to premature graves; and disease following in its train, made sad havoc with the debilitated constitutions of others. Want of health, spirits, and capital, led to a partial abandonment of cultivation ; and thus the evil of deficient supply was aggravated instead of reme died. Landlord and tenant were involved in a common misfortune ; and the large increase of helpless poor pressed with increasing weight upon such as were still able to pay. It is an old saying, that "where nothing is to be had, the king must lose his right ;" and the utter inability of large num bers of agriculturists to pay rent, especially in dis tricts where labour had greatly increased in cost and diminished in remuneration, left many landlords at least as helpless as themselves. In these circumstances, the emigration panic set in. A land of suffering and despair contrasted but unfavourably with one of almost boundless terri tory and resources, and every one seemed anxious to fly from the doomed shores. It is only those who have known the country intimately in its days of prosperity and rejoicing, that can understand how strong a reaction of feeling had taken place. For centuries, the Celtic inhabitant had regarded himself as the rightful lord of the soil, and the Saxon as only a temporary sojourner; nor is the day very remote when a political demagogue traded in this hatred of races, and raised it to a pitch of excitement unknown since the close of last century. " Ireland for the Irish" was the motto of their hearts, if not of their banners; and the ancient glories of the country lived in the vivid recollec tions of a numerous and sensitive people. Twenty years ago, and even much more recently, emigra tion was comparatively rare among the Celtic or Roman Catholic population; among the Protes tants it took place as a matter of course. The latter possessed the means of removal and com fortable settlement ; the former were often desti tute of both. In the one case, the traditions of home and of fatherland, of religion and political associations, ran back to England or Scotland ; in the other they were redolent of the soil. The Protestant changed his abode, dealt with a new set of tradesmen, visited with new friends, and attended the ministrations of a new clergyman ; the Roman Catholic severed some of the ties which bound him to life and happiness. In the southern and western districts, the feeling was increased by the gradual disappearance of the Protestant popu lation, who, in addition to these causes, often found the district " too hot for them." Church services were abandoned when the population fell below the stated number, and the parish was added to a union already inconveniently large. Now, the prestige of blood and religion, the hopes of nationality, the pride of patriotism, the delusion of insurrection, and the promises of politicians, are all gone. The dread reality stares them in the lI(3Y n n we S i n g i dn a g y machine , nightg ANOTHER GAROT T E face.

The ranks of the National Guard will be formed of two divi sions, the active guard and the reserve guard. The former will be composed of persons well known for their love of order. It will amount to 27,000 men, and will be immediately armed. The reserve guard will only be armed on emergencies. Licensed gambling is said to be in contemplation, as it yields a large income, and brings so many strangers to Paris.
