" WHEN circumstances are ripe, the men will ap pear," is a statement more oracular than true. Many triumphs have been delayed, and many de feats have been suffered, from the fact that " the hour was ccme, but not the man." Chiefly, in parliamentary representation in this country, the misfortune of being unprepared with proper can didates has led to the fact of constituencies being misrepresented altogether ; and at no time was the necessity of impressing this consideration on the public greater than at the present moment. In the coming election—an event which cannot by any chicanery or meanness of the Ministry he very long delayed—doubtless many untried men will offer themselves on all sides of the question. Of these it will be more difficult to judge than of 'those who have, even for a little time, challenged 'the attention of the public. The former must be - taken on their own representations, and those con stituencies that choose them must learn in the school of experience. Happily, however, the chief town of the provinces of England has no need to venture upon the experiment of electing unknown men. However one or two improper choices may have been made, there is no place of honour in the gift of the Crown, and no -rank of ability awarded by the Senate of this great commercial country, that would not derive additional lustre from the suffrages of Liverpool. 'How far so great a trust was at the last election discharged by the consti• tuency, we need hardly express our opinion. Even the Parisian rabble had theconsciousness that their representation was not only a great trust, but a great honour -; and however mistaken in their choice, they looked out for candidates illustrious for some kind-of achievement. Mischievous some of them perhaps might be, but they at least were not obscure. The intelligent and shrewd :and wealthy " Liverpool gentlemen" have thought of nothing of the kind ; but acting in the spirit of a time that sees Lord John Russell in the seat of Pitt, and Lord Truro in the seat of Bacon and of Clarendon, they have -filled the seat of Canning with Sir Thomas .Birch. .Now the great -Parlia mentary struggle that is coming demands that at least the general public shall be made aware of who are the representatives of Liverpool, and not have to search for the name of one of them in Abe almanac, seeing no trace of his presence in the house. If the theory existed that a mere nomina tion borough could give its member as much weight as the first-commercial town of the kingdom, and that the person sent to represent wealth, intelli gence, and a great population, ought to have as little influence as the nominee of a proprietor, -or the purchaser of a few votes, then we need scarcely concern ourselves what" delegate" we may happen to appoint. , But the feeling both of the English public and foreigners is entirely different from this; and for Liverpool to send into Parliament a man below mediocrity, both as a speaker and.a man of business, is to-abandon its legitimate position as a town entitled - by its importance very materially to sway public opinion. Now an election, as we have said, is fast coming. We must be prepared on behalf of the country and -Protestant party to show our hostility to the course :hitherto pursued, and how can that better be done than by inviting to represent us, and cordially supporting, the heir ola -house whose ability, constancy, and courage have been to them a greater boast 'than their high descent,—and a nobleman who has himself shown the characteris tic spirit of his family, in personally inquiring into the condition of the empire to the legislature of which he has ,devoted his future career. The House of Derby has shown more than once its good disposition towards:the town of Liverpoal,.and we have little doubt but that the constituency will hail with no little _pleasure the fact that in the heir of that house they can:find a representative whose talents fit him for their-trust, and who has exhibited that intention of demanding practical knowledge. which is the only guaraulee for the proper judgment of parliamentary men.•..Jra fact, look at it in every view, and there could not be found in the list of pos sible candidates any individual more suitable or more ,popular than LORD STAL.E.Y. The propriety of such a selection is happily vindicated as much by the personal qualities of the individual as by the circumstances of his position. He has exhibited ability both powerful and practical, and habits of business we do not find in those to whom, as the world goes, they would seem -to-have been infinitely more necessary, and who claim to have them because they have been engaged in pursuits in which they are indispensable--a /non sequitur of which the Liverpool Representatives could afford at least one example. It sounds, no doubt, theoreti cally well, to affect to despise high position, but practical people know that in England rank is still no little advantage, and that though it cannot force our dulness or advance mediocrity, yet where it is joined with intellectual power it commands double sway. Three revolutions in France could not enable the democracy to take away the innate regard of men for ancient lineage, coupled with genius and honour But mere words are of little use in ouch a struggle as that to which we are approach ing. There ought to be an immediate deci sion as to the candidates, and an organised plan of conduct. By such timely preparation much, even of ill feeling, can be oared; and no cause, how ever good, will triumph en its own mere merits. This fact is not less important to be considered in Liverpool than by the Conservatives generally, both in the contests at the hustings and on the platform. A question of political economics, such as that be tween protection and free trade, requires at all times much exertion to bring it fully before the public mind; but this is doubly true where such a question has been intentionally mystified by such efforts as those of the Anti-Corn Law League, the members of which, though sinking under the weight of their " triumph," yet endeavour to charge the bad prospects of the producing classes upon any persons but themselves. The Conser vatives must remember that "it is lawful to learn from the enemy ;" and that, in fact, a cry called "public opinion" is something that can be created by such means as were used by the Anti. Corn Law League, and that such a cry can bear down the common sense and true intelligence of the country, except the attempts to raise it be met by prompt exposure. For a time that cry succeeded. An incompetent minister and a Parliament of place 7 hunters gave a triumph to the friends of the foreigner, and the country is now feeling its effects. But the people must be shown the proper mode of acting. The mind of the nation must be roused to the great importance of the, approaching election, and to the fact that the question of national pros perity, or the prosperity of a few, is that which is at issue before the country. A few days ago, at Tyncrnoutli, Mr. George Frederick Young made a proposal to commence such a course, and there is certainly no time to lose in adopting it—not that the result of the coming election is doubtful, but that individual action and individual opinion, on a matter of such vital interest to the country, is necessary to the solid establishment of any govern ment, however patriotic. Having thus pointed out Lord Stanley's fitness as a candidate for the Representation of Liverpool, we shall take another opportunity—probably nest week —of bringing before our readers the claims of our much-respected townsman, Thomas Berry Horsfal], Esq. THE CASE OF THE MILLERS—FREE TRADE MONOPOLY. THE interests plundered and oppressed by free trade are beginning to feel that the pursuit of selfish prospects in the days of Cobden's promises has brought them to a very sad condition in the days , of his so-called performance. If the millers were , of opinion that, no matter whether or not the farmers were ruined, they would be enabled to go on cheerily grinding foreign grain ; and if some ship owners fancied that, whatever came of the agricul tural interest, freights would rise by the call for , commodities from abroad, the admission of French flour has taught the mistake to the first, and the repeal of the Navigation Laws to the second. These, however, are reminiscences that we have no desire to revive. Their ruin was prophe sied to those industrial interests that took part with the League from the first, and the duty of the country is to endeavour to arrest it in the rapid progress in which it has commenced. The blow has fallen upon the millers with peculiar force. The English market has been supplied during the last year with French Flour to the extent of THREE MILLIONS STERLING, and the most extensive pre parations are in progress for the further advance in the trade in France. The French are quite hopeful and joyous, and boast of the prospect of keeping always a-head of •us in our own market. Reciprocity, of course, they have never heard of, and every mill in England may cease to grind, if le moulin du village only clatters continually for the advantage of Christophe or Auguste. At the Society of Political Economists in Paris, on Mon day evening, the subject of French Flour was dis cussed with much satisfaction. M. de Kergorlav, late Peer of France, and one of the jurors at the Exhibition, had no doubt of the French millers being able to keep the position they had attained, namely, that of taking the bread out of the mouths of the English workmen. M. de Kergorlay attri butes the advantage of the French to their " profi ciency in the management of their mills, and their skill in the choice of grain." Of course English workmen are dolts, and English millers cannot choose grain. But did not M. de Kergorley know another reason—that the French peasantry and labourers will live, a whole family, for a day on as little as one English workman, and that a York shire mill-labourer cannot well bring himself to the , idea of living in such a style. However, whatever the cause may be—the French have got our market, and FREE-TRADE MONOPOLY has begun. The free-traders cried out lustily for competition when it was as clear as daylight that competition could only exist during the short, sharp, and decisive struggle required by the country of cheap labour and bad food, to defeat the country of higher labour and decent food. Who doubted that, when the foreigner had beaten the Englishman, all dream of competition would be at an end, and we should have the monopoly of " free-trade" instead of the honest competition of the native producers The French millers have begun earlyto give us an illus tration of this "great fact." Having got the market to themselves, they have begun 'to give us an inferior article. This was stated out of the mouth of their own political economists at the Monday's meeting. " The 'French millers," M. de Kergorlay said, "had been .unable to keep up their supply of first-class flour, and they had lately been making up with stock below sample, which had created great dis satisfaction among the London bakers." How very gentle and euphuistic is this ex-peer of France! The French bakers were neither cheating nor defrauding, but simply " making up with stock below sample"—one of the most characteristic of the first-fruits of free-trade, and a most apt illustration of that system of blundering and sel fishness; for, take Cobden's promises and perform ances, and if he has not " made up with stock below sample,' it is hard to say what such a pro- needing means. Some people, however, are very 'hopeful. In the face of this admission, that ruin ing our own producers puts us at the mercy of foreign monopoly, the Daily News, the organ of the League, says, on Thursday, " We shall now, under the influence of the free competition of the English and French millers, obtain the mass of our flour of superior quality." It is something to see anybody contented with the advantages of free trade, and the Daily News is quite right to look for even the smallest scrap of comfort. The Lon don bakers may be annoyed at getting an inferior article, but the Daily News will go on rejoicing in the prospect of " flour of a superior quality," on which it is to regale itself at the expense of the English millers. Meantime the millers have hut one course to pursue. Let them, by individual exertion, advance strenuously the cause of protection to all industrial interests. They may rest assured that as the storm of free-trade fell upon all, the calm must be made to benefit all. They cannot, as a single and sepa rate interest, win back protection ; but their case is a powerful argument for a general change of our late disastrous policy. ENCUMBERED ESTATE ACT OF IRELAND. WHOLESALE EXPATRIATION SrR THOMAS MORE, _tradition says, pdazled .the University of Leyden, by putting them a questiOn in the barbarous Latin of the English Law. Theie is another question which might puzzle all the Uni versities in Europe—What is to become of Ireland? The Commission of Encumbered Estates has brought to an end a part of its heavy work, of casting out the Irish gentry desolate ; and paying their creditors one-fortieth part of what they might have got, by a little patience and a little mercy. Sir John Romilly, in the passing of this Encum bered Estates Act, showed but poor claims to be a statesman: It was a barbarous expedient to cut the knot, and not to loose it—a plan that, if there was no such thing as human feeling in the world, might be used on every occasion. , Nov, the landed- . proprietors of Ireland were ".hardly deserving of treatige.gt such as..th estates :wer.gtetit*, encumbered, but they were inherited incumbrances ; and it is strictly true, that the table and the menage of many peers of Ireland, dating their descent as high as the Emperors, were far more scanty than those of a London tradesman. The Encumbered Estates Act was a proclamation of bankruptcy against the Irish landlords; and have they not gone throrgh it, with fatal loss, doubtless, but with much honour ? Personal extravagance has been charged on but a very few. This race of nobility have fallen before a law which lawyers themselves admit to be unexampled in cruelty since the reign of the Stuarts. Every paper chronicles the necessity that they and their sons are under to seek work almost, if not altogether, menial. " Disparl:ed their lands, and felled their forest woods, From their own windows torn their household coats, Raz'd out their impress, —leaving there no sign, Save men's opinions and their living blood, To tell the world that they are gentlemen." And yet they are the descendants of those who held Ireland for the English Crown, as they bad won it by their sword and spear, for seven centu• ries ; and not a few of the incumbrances, for'which English legislation has made these men houseless, were undertaken to enable them to defend law and order against the enemies of both. In the meantime, the destruction of the Protes tant gentry has not wrought the desired effect. The peasantry, and such yeomen as there are, are flying to America, according as they are able to obtain the means of transit. There is really reason for the apprehension expressed by the great organ of the Freetraders and foreigners, that there will in fact be a lack of human labour in the country, if the Irish expatriate themselves at the rate they seem disposed to do. There has doubtless at all times been, as is the custom of the Celt, consider able attachment from the people to the lords of the soil, and even this last tie the Encumbered Estates Act has broken. There is no longer any hold by way of feeling, and the people therefore seek the stranger in America, as being preferable to the stranger at home. In the meantime, the Bill for the sale of Encum bered Estates has done nothing for which it was intended. Proprietors are robbed—creditors are defrauded—the country is half depopulated—and the Whigs are, of course, contented. THE CITY OF MANCHESTER There are few ports in the universe that 'nave done more to maintain our national pre-eminence in the race of com petition in shipping than those of the Clyde. As, however, the energies of the builders of that locality have been more directly connected with the advancement of steam navigation, many will he pleased to hear that of late a share of their attention has been given to the construc tion of sailing-ships, one of which, now lying in the north-west corner of the Prince's Dock, has attracted in spection. She is called The City of Manchester, and is well deEerving the name of a town in which enterprise is so rife. Her dimensions are as follow :—Extreme length, 130 ft..; breadth of beam, 28 ft. 9 in. ; depth of hold, 19 ft. with these proportions, and builr expressly as a permanent trader, to one of cur leading British American colonial ports, study has been called into existence, and preju dices banished, to make her not only a rapid sailer, but a good carrying and, we hope, a profitable vessel. Her model, which was cut by Mr. Rankin, jun., combines the desired principles that exist between a clipper and a carrier. Her lines throughout are perfectly round, and withal fine; in fact, her run is so clean that we may safely quote the words, " when her head is through it, she is all through it." When w e mention the names of her builders, Messrs. Denny and Ran kin, we need not dwell to eulogise the quality of the material or the excellence of the workmanship dis played in her build, suffice it to say, that all that expense could do, at the hand of the owners, or pains on the part of the builders, is here exhibited. The City of Man chester corennences her bottom planking aft with elm and hecmatack to the bilge ; from the bilge to the light- water or ballast-line, it is well selected pitch pine. The lower or tight -water wales are of English oak forward ; of greenheart amidships ; and aft of mahogany and English oak. The main wales are formed of English oak ; amid ships greenheart; and r.ft mahogany. Two streaks over the main wales are of the same material. The top sides, (with the exception of the paint streak, which is of hard wood,) are pitch pine,—a timber that. " wet and dry," will stand with any. The bindings and stringers are of heavy greenheart, and all is secured in a thorough English style to a frame of our own grown oak, forming unitedly a strength worthy a class amongst our " wooden walls." We have stated that " The City" is built expressly as a trader, and to facilitate he- stowage of cargo she has three gangways and an equal number of hatches, all of which may be kept working at one time. The forward ones are provided with winches, the after one with a small crane— a great desideratum on ship board. This compact little ship is somewhat over 500 tons register, but will, in burthen, be considerably greater. She is decorated by a beautifully-carved figure head of a female bearing grace fully in her extended hand a basket of fruit. The cabin, as she is not calculated for passengers, is plain but neat. It forms a round-house" abaft. The City of Manches ter was built for the firm of Messrs. Jacot. Taylor, and Tipper ; she is to be commanded by Capt. Reid, a gentle. man who, fig ratively speaking, has been " all his life in the trade." We wish her every success. ROBBERY FROM THE PERSON. — Yesterday two men, named Wm. Hughes and Wm. Roberts, were charged, at the police-court. with an assault and robbery in Leeds street. They took from the prosecutor one sovereign in gold and eighteen shillings in silver. The case being fully proved against both offenders, they were fully committed to the sessions for trial. ELECTION OF ASSISTANT OVERSEER AT TRANMERE. -To-day is appointed for the election of overseer, at Tranmere, in the room of Mr. Dawkins, wh o h as b een committed for certain defalcations. The emolument is about £lOO per annum. On the vacancy being first an nounced, an army of candidates were in the field, but they have gradually declined the contest, leaving some two or three to do the battle. ART UNION or LIVERPOOL.—We have just seen an impression of each of the three original engravings to be issued to subscribers for the current year. They are beautiful specimens of art, and of much more intrinsic value than the amount of subscription —to say nothing of the other additional inducements held out by the com mittee to secure the patronage of the public. We trust that such efforts may be properly appreciated. FRODSHAM NATIONAL SCHOOL.—This school has recently been licensed, by the bishop of the diocese, for the celebration of divine worship, which is a great accom modation, the parish church (Overton) being situated at an inconvenient distance from the town, and there being no evening service. A number of the influential gentle men of the town have entered into a subscription for the purchase of au organ, with the view of adding to the solemnity of the service. BOAT RACE, YESTERDAY.—From some little feeling of ambition or of jealousy, we know not which, a match, which has long been on the lapis, between the boatmen of what are termed the north and the south ends of Liverpool, came to a conclusion during the past week. and was contested for yesterday, in the bight of the bay, off Rock Ferry. The names of the boats were the Star of Temperance and the Helen—the names of their crews are, of course, not important. The spirit ran in favour of Temperance, and the race concluded in the same fashion—if it could he called a race at all. One took the lead, kept it, and won by about a third of a mile. WancK.—Three sailors, who left in the ship Larpent from Liverpool last year, arrived lately at Shanghai from the island of Formosa. They relate the account of thb wreck of the vessel there in September last. On reaching the shore officers and crew were attacked by the natives, and there is too much reason to believe that all on board, with the exception of the three, by name Berries, Blake, and Hill, were muriered by the natives. Those saved are tndebted for their lives to an old Chi naman , w h o t oo k hem in and protected them and afterwards, with the assistance of a Chinese mandarin, got them on board a vessel passing near the coast. LIVERPOOL BOTANIC SOCIETY.--Is not the time ar rived for. Liverpool botanists to form themselves into a society for the benefit of mutual instruction and combina tion? We think it has, and we think it discreditable to the, numerous able botanists of whom we may now boast that such a society has not already been formed. It has been a general rule that a local botanic society has led to the publication of a local flora ; but We have had two floras published; those of Mr. Hall and Dr. Dickenson, without the aid or patronage of a society. The establishnient of a society- would lead to the formation of a herbarium, which is much wanted, and would greatly help to promote the spread of the science. The great fear is that British bo tany would occupy too important a position in the tran sactions of a Liverpool Botanic Society ; for although .we have many very able men in that department, we are la mentably deficient in students acquainted with exetie ve getation, although, there are few places in the world better situated than this town for obtaining information and ape. cimens from abroad. The practical results derivable from the study of botany are of little value when confined to the mere formation of a collection, or the addition of a few pew localities, to which the wind or any other accidental cause may have wafted a seed. There is too much of this amongst our local botanists, and time will shew that we ought to consider the properties of plants as the principal object of the study. Should such a society be formed the presidential *chair would be well occupied by Dr. DiCken son, - who is not only a leading botanist, but practical in the strictest sense, having followed the study with great industry'and perseverance; in order -to : Make, himseitmas,,l tier of all its bearings upon the malaria tnedica, of which g large a propOrtit3l cousins of vegetable products.

Nothing has transpired of the exact time and place of the meeting, MADRID, AUG. 12.—The committee on the budget had not yet met since the prorogation. It was conse quently to be feared that at the re. opening of the session its examination will have made no progress, and that its discussion will be as impossible as ever.

One of the many French factors (who have establisheci themselves in London since the free-trade systern was commenced), has issued circulars announcing that he will sell flour and wheat by,auction. Large rooms are being prepared for the pur. ose, and there is no doubt that the large forced sales will tend to depress prices still further. Indeed, the auctioneer expects as much, for he states, "goods sold under such circumstances and without reserve, will frequently present to buyers excellent chances of making cheap purchases." It is understood that flour is to be the chief commodity sold, and no doubt large quantities of French and other foreign-made flour will be thrown on the market, to the great detriment of the home producer, who will have to sell his grain at prices to compete with the wholesale knocking off of engaged inn struggle between the good ant. tice and injustice, the lore of country, ant Mammon.
