All descriptions of Clething suitable for Foreign Markets GENTLEMEN, HAVING been honoured by a renewal of your desire that I should again stand-forward as a Candidate for the distinction of rekresenting you in . Parliament, I should deem myself unworthy of this reiterated mark of your kindness did I suffer pfivate feelings and predilections to obstruct for one moment the course of public duty thus intimated to me in so flattering a manner. I therefore cheerfully submit to your wishes. Her Majesty's ministers being about to appeal to the country on the subject of the Corn-laws, I feel it due to you, openly and explicitly, to declare my opinions on that im portant topic. I consider the paramount objects sought for in the main tenance of a Corn-law to be these—to encourage the home growth of corn by affording ,adequate protection to the Bri tish farmer ; and, at the same time, to provide that the home consumer shall not be liable to extravagant prices in seasons of scarcity. Convinced that these ends have been fully attained by the principle of the sliding sale now in operation, I cannot but view with alarm the attempt about to be made by the govern ment of this country to substitute a fixed duty for the pre sent plan; the results of which must be, that in average seasons the home grower will not be able to compete with the foreigner—large districts of corn land will be thrown out of cultivation—and consequently, in times of continental scarcity, or of war, (our home produce being inadequate,) the price to the consumer will be far more extravagant than it ever can be under the regulations of the present fluctu- ating scale. On other subjects of political importance, I can confi dently appeal to the past as a guarantee that your interests for the future will not be neglected should you again entrust them to my care I have the honour to be, Gentlemen, Your obedient, humble Servant, P. DE M. GREY EGERTON Oulton Park. June, 1841 TO THE GENTRY, CLERGY, AND ELECTORS OF THE SOUTHERN DIVISION OF THE COUNTY OF' CHESTER. GENTLEMEN, ADissolution of Parliament being evidently at hand , I beg moat respectfully to announce that the pledge given by me to afford von, at this EVENTFUL CRISIS, an opportunity of recording your votes, I am now ready to redeem. The present Government—no longer an independent Go vernment—too weak to administer the affairs of this country, and too tenacious of the a dvantages of office to relinquish them, has succumbed to popular clamour and proposed a total change in our just and admirable system of CORN LAWS—a measure which, if carried, would not only de prive the English landowner and farmer of their property and the English labourer of his means of subsistence, but the manufacturer of his best and most certain market, thereby proving ultimately as injurious to the'one interest as imme diately destructive to the other. Members of the IRISH ROMAN CATHOLIC PARTY now form a portion of the administration of the country, which, in my opinion is incompatible with THE SAFETY OF OUR PROTESTANT CHURCH AND PROTESTANT LIBERTIES. A Government thus composed, and so regardless of the peace and well-being of the nation, as the existing one has proved itself, by the introduction of measures alike detri mental to both, is altogether unworthy, and undeserving of our confidence. Having on a former occasion issued an address, I will only now repeat the declaration then made, that " I submit to the thraldom of no party ;" and, in the event of a dissolution of Parliament, I shall throw myself on the support of those Electors who, like me, are determined to take that INDS PENDENT COURSE which I conscientiously believe the exist ing state of affairs requires of every friend (whether Church man or Dissenter) to the PROTESTANT RELIGION, and of every well-wisher to his Country. I have the honour to remain, Gentlemen, With sincere respict, Your very faithful servant, JOHN TOLLEMACHE Tilston Lodge, May 31, 1841 STEINKELLER'S PATENT SQUARE & DIAMOND ZINK PLATES.

Precept dated April 13, 1840. JOSEPH GILLOTT, PATENT STEEL PEN MANUFAC TIIRER, Victoria Works, Graham-street, Birmingham, has been for twenty years engaged in the mr.nufacture of Steel Pens, and during that time has devoted his unceasing atten tion to the improving and perfecting this useful and necessary article ; the result of his persevering efforts', and numerous experiments upon the properties of the metal used, has been the construction of a Pen upon a principle entirely new, com bining all the advantages of the elasticity and fineness of the quill, with the durability of the metallic pen, and thus ob viating the objections which have existed against the use of Steel Pens. The Patentee is proud to acknowledge that a discerning public has paid the most gratifying tribute to his humble, though useful labours, by a demand for his Pens far exceed ing his highest expectations.

Johnson, General EXT TW EN ENTY-O NE SIVE CONFLAGRATHOUSES I BURNED DO WN.ON AT DUNSTLE, AB (From the Morning Herald.) Late on Saturday afternoon the principal insurance autho rities in the city received intelligence from Dunstable of a most destructive fire having happened in that town, on the morning of Wednesday last, by which twenty-one houses were entirely destroyed, and property to the extent of some thousands consumed. It was discovered at about five mi nutes after one o'clock ragin g furiously on the pre mises occupied by a Mr. Thomas Fossey, a confectioner, which stood in High-street, on the west side near the corner of Church-street. The premises were three stories high, and were constructed principally of wood, having a white front age, and several small outbuildings at the back. Mr. Fossey states that himself and family were awoke from their sleep by a body of flames breaking upon the windows at the back, and that their escape to the street was attended witk the utmost difficulty. They then aroused the adjoining inhabi tants, and in the course of a few minutes after the whole town was alarmed by the ringing of the fire bell, when a fearful scene of confusion and excitement ensued. The flames in less than seven minutes after the discovery shot through all the apartments in the dwelling-house, and were blazing from the numerous windows with very great violence, and, within a quarter of an hour, the de struction of the whole premises was complete. The adjoin. ing houses to the east, occupied by Mr. Clark, chemist and druggist, and on the opposite side by Mr. Halifax, boot and shoemaker, and Mr. Cheshire, upholsterer and cabinet maker, next became a prey to the devouring element. About a quarter of an hour after the alarm was given, the engine belonging to the town was brought to the spot, but it was found to be in so dilapidated a condition that it was im possible to bring in into play. This was most unfortunate. There was a good supply of water to be had, and the ravages of the flames might have been soon stopped. An express was then despatched to Luton, a small village situate five miles from the spot, for assistance, but it was full an hour and a quarter before the engines arrived. By that time the flames bad greatly extended, and threatened to overwhelm the whole town. They had, in addition to the above houses, en veloped those belonging to Mr. Burgess, tailor, Mr. Cheshire, wholesale grocer, in High-street, and communicated to a range of dwelling-houses in Church-street, tenanted by la bouring men and their families. The distress amongst these poor creatures was truly heartrending. They had barely time to save their wearing apparel, before the terrible work of de vastation burst upon them, and ere many minutes had elapsed their habitations were reduced to a heap of ruins. Such was the fury of the flames that in two hours 21 houses and seve ral outbuildings were burned to the ground. Shortly before three o'clock several engines came up from different parts of the surrounding country. The fire, though prevented from causing further sacrifice of property, continued to burn fiercely throughout the entire day, and was not safely ex tinguished till the following morning. On Friday, the ma gistrates instituted an investigation into the origin of the dreadful calamity, but the precise cause could not b e dis covered. The amount of damage in High-street is stated to be, Mr. Fossey, £500; Mr. Clark, chemist, £1,000; Mr. Burgess, £700; Mr. Cheshire, grocer, £1,500; Mr. Hali fax, £300; Mr. Thomas Cheshire, cabinet-maker, £500; Mr. Young, £300; and Mr. Oliver, £2OO, Some of these are insured in several fire-offices to the extent of their re spective losses. Most of the families who are burnt out in Church-street are straw-plait makers ; they are great suffer ers, none of them being insured. During the raging of the fire, which was without exception the largest that has taken place in Bedfordshire for several years, the flames illumi nated the adjacent country to the extent of many m il es . Providentially no lives were lost. AWFUL. EXPLOSION.—A melancholy accident took place at Derwent Crook Colliery, near Gateshead, on Saturday last, at half-past four o'clock in the afternoon, when the boiler of the engine at the head of the pit exploded, by which the engineer and one of the workmen were killed, and another was so severely scalded as to render his recovery very doubt ful. Eight others were much, though not -dangerously, scalded by the steam, and hurt by the stones forced from the engine•house by the explosion. RECORDERSHIP OF CHESTED..--In consequence of John Cottingliam, Esq., barrister-at -law, having been appointed police magistrate in the metropolitan districts, the recorder ship of Chester became vacant. We understand that the Crown has nominated W. N. Welsby, Esq., to the vacant office. impatat liantrot HOUSE OF LORDS.—Tnuitsnmr. A vast number of petitions were presented for and against Any alteration in the corn laws. The Marquis of BUTE moved the second reading of the Jews' Declaration Bill ; which was opposed by his Grace the Archbishop of Canterbury on the ground that the principle of the Jewish faith was that the Christian religion was founded in falsehood and imposition. Under such circumstances, if the bill should pass, Great Britain could no longer be con sidered as an exclusively Christian country. Under these circumstances the most rev. prelate moved that the bill should be read a second time that day six,months. Their lordships divided on the question ; when the second reading was carried by a majority of 48 to 47, and the bill was ordered to be committed on Tuesday next. Their lordships then adjourned. HOUSE OF COMMONS.—THURSDAY The adjourned debate was resumed by Mr. COLONHOUN, who, in reply to Mr. Handley, charged that gentleman with having deserted his former principles, for he had at one time sat for anominationborough and voted with the conservatives. Mr. O'CoissrELL reminded the hon. member that he also had deviated from his early opinions, but he abandoned such topics as irrelevant when a great question like that before the house was under discussion. The hon. and learned gentle man then praised the Ministry for the manner in which they had governed Ireland, and said that the recent elections were no criterion of public feeling, for the result was to be entirely attributed to the most notorious bribery. This must be al ways the case until the constituencies were enlarged, and un til the voters should be afforded the protection of the ballot. Such an enlargement of the constituency, together with the protection of the ballot, could never be hoped for while the conservatives held power. How could the people of Ireland hope for justice at the hands of Sir R. Peel, who, when Se cretary for Ireland, and as a Minister of the Crown, came forward as the avowed eulogist of the orangemen, describing them as men-whose only fault was an exuberance of loyalty. While the present Ministry retained office there was hope for Ireland, but should the conservatives came into power, that which was now endurance would then become despair. Mr. LINDSEY denied that there had been bribery or cor ruption at the recent election for Sandwich, for he was re turned by the free unbought suffrages of the electors. Mr. Sergeant JAcisos; made some strong remarks on the conduct pursued by the hon. member for Dublin, who, though always attacking the landlords of Ireland for their cruelty to their tenantry, had not hesitated to levy execu tions against his own tenantry in April, for rent due in March. The hon. member would not dare to deny this, for he (Mr. Jackson) had the power of proving the fact at the bar of the house. With respect to the charge of bribery thrown out against his side of the house, he knew that they were not very squeamish upon the other side, for the Government was at this moment exercising every means of securing seats for their adherents, and were doing all they could to deprive him of his seat for Bandon, in which object they would be signally defeated, for the electors of that town were not to be bought by all the wealth which the Ministry had at its disposal. Mr. O'CONNELL said, in explanation of the charge made against him as a landlord, that he let his lands from 4s. to ss. in the pound less than any of the landlords in his neigh bourhood—he had more persons living in houses on his lands, and paying no rent, than any landlord holding five times his extent of land—he had never turned out a tenant for the pur pose of clearing his land, nor for any other reason than mis conduct, and even then he gave them a year's rent as fine. With respect to levying a distress last April for rent due in March, he had never heard of it before. and if it had been done by his agent he must have heard of it. He had never sold a distress for rent, nor ever should. He did not believe the fact as stated, but should make inquiry, and if it turned out that it had been done by his agent he would no longer employ him. Sir D. ROCHE said he had land adjoining to that of Mr. O'Connell, and bad never heard of this occurrence. The hon. baronet bore testimony to the indulgent character of Mr. O'Connell as a landlord. Mr. SLANEY appealed to Sir R. Peel to turn his attention, if he should come into power, to the welfare of the poorer classes of the community, and expressed a hope that the right hon. baronet would, before the debate closed, state what he really meant to do to improve their condition. The Earl of DARLINGTON, in reference to the charges of inconsistency made by Mr. Handley against Sir James Graham and Lord Stanley, said that it was difficult to find any great statesman who had been always consistent in his opinions. He did not know that this doctrine of consist ency would be very desirable to be adhered to, but at all 'events it was curious that the hon. member should have singled out the two right bon. gentlemen already named, when he had much nearer to him Lord John Russell and Lord Palmerston, the former of whom had in 1821 written a very admirable pamphlet in defence of the agricultural in terest against foreign competition. The hon. member for Lincolnshire was himself inconsistent in opposing the go vernment on the sugar duties, because the proposed measure would lead to the alteration of the corn laws, and yet after wards giving them his confidence, and feeling that be was placed on his defence for this, he flung charges of inconsist ency against others in order to screen his own from his con stituents. Sir C. Grey defended the course pursued by Mr. Handley, and argued that there was no ground for agreeing to a vote of a want of confidence in the ministry. Mr. C. BRUCE defended Sir James Graham from the charge of inconsistency, and said the right hon. baronet was as good a whig now as he ever had been ; for, in fact, he had only quitted the other side of the house when he found, that without a sacrifice of his principles he could no longer sup port the measures of his old friends. The difficulties of the country, he maintained, were mainly attributable to the con duct of the government, which had drawn expensive wars upon the country by their meddling interference in the con- cerns of foreign nations. Sir W. SOMEItVILLE said that the present question, though important to the whole empire, was one of life and death to Ireland ; for he much feared that if the right hon. baronet (Sir R. reel) should come into power, the noble lord (Stanley) would then bring forward his registration bill as a govern ment measure. Mr. HAMILTON supported the motion of Sir R. Peel, and dwelt upon the inconsistency of arguing that a repeal of the corn laws would prove beneficial to both manufacturers and labourers. It could only benefit the manufacturers by ena bling thErn to reduce the wages' of the labourers ; and if• the labourers were to have their wages reduced in proportion td the reduction of food, it was impossible that they could reap the slightest benefit by the measure. Mr. MUNTZ said that ministers did not possess his confi dence to the extent they ought to do ; but then he could place no confidence whatever in gentlemen on the other side of the house, and he did not see, therefore, why he should vote for a motion which should bring into power the party in whom he had the lesser degree of confidence. Col. CoNNoLLY said he had not the smallest confidence in a ministry which seemed to be actuated by no other motive than that of a love of place. They professed themselves opposed to the repeal of the union, and yet they now came forward with a measure of all others the most calculated to lead to such a result. When the hon. member sat down, the debate was ad journed until to-morrow. On the further consideration of the report on the punish ment of d'eath bill, Mr. KELLY moved a clause, abolishing the punishment of death for returning from transportation from St. Helena, which clause was agreed to, and the report was received. The other orders of the day were then disposed of, and the house adjourned. . HOUSE OF LORDS.7IBADAy The Victoria Park bill was read a third time and passed. A great number of petitions were presented for and against any alteration of the corn laws; one of which gave rise to a desultory conversation, in the course of which Earl STAN HOPE declared that he would rather see the country governed by the chartists than by the present ministry. Some bills were forwarded a stage, and their lordships ad journed. HOUSE OF COMMONS.--FRID•Y. The adjourned debate on the motion of want of confidence in the present government was resumed by Mr. SamiL, who said that the motion, as worded by Sir R. Peel, did not con demn the measures proposed by the government, and, if car ried, would not prevent the right hon. baronet, if successful, from bringing forward the very same measures hereafter should he obtain the reins of government. He then referred to the forign policy of the ministry, and asked if the house would transfer it from the hands of Lord Palmerston to those who, in 1829; had abandoned Turkey to Russia, and who, by allowing the treaty of Adrianople to be entered into, had laid the ground-work of all the difficulties which had since pre sented themselves in the Levant. He next defended the do mestic policy of the government, and contended that Ireland would present insuperable obstacles to any government formed under the auspices of Sir R. Peel. Sir S. CANNING was of opinion that Lord Palmerston con- ducted his negotiations in a spirit too exclusively English, the result of which he feared would be that serious consequences might be apprehended, at no distant day, to the tranquility of Europe. If the noble lord had proceeded in a more Eu ropean spirit he would have acted more wisely. Mr. C. BULLER treated the motion of Sir R. Peel as a question altogether of party, and it was in that light only thr the division should be considered. The hon. gentleman ; serted that the Duke of Wellington had resigned office n merely because of his defeat of the question of the civil list but because of the disturbed state of the country, and the probability of a defeat on the question of parliamentary re form. There was no weakness of that description in the pre sent government, and Lord Palmerston had acquired an in fluence for Great Britain in foreign councils, such as con trasted in a most gratifying manner with the state of things in the latter portion of the administration of the Duke of Wellington. The right hon. bart. found fault with ministers for pursuing a system of conciliation, although, when he was himself last in power, his whole policy was that of taking up the measures of his opponents and availing themselves of their aid in carrying them through the house. Lord DUNGANNON declared his want of confidence in ministers, and said that the recent elections were a convincing proof that the ministry had lost the confidence of the people as well as of that house. He would say, that not only was there a want of confidence on the part of the people in the present ministry, but a general disgust prevailed against them for their unconstitutional retention of power after the majo rities which had decided against their measnres. He was very sure if the right hon. baronet (Sir R. Peel) should find, when in power, that his measures were not supported by the , house he would never consent to retain office by chicanery. Sir H. VERNEY referred to a report that Mr. Walter was sent down by the conservative members of that house to Not tingham, to stand for that borough, on the principle that he was opposed to the new poor law, although they themselves supported that law. It was also said that he was supported by the Carlton Club—(cries of "no "). He hoped it was not so for the credit of the house; for, if true, a more dis creditable proceeding had seldom taken place. The hon. baronet .rave his entire confidence to the governm ent. Col. S'IBTHORP had so bad au opinion of the present go vernment, that he could not give them the smallest portion of his confidence. Their shuffling conduct was too bad for the devil himself. Mr. HAWES opposed the motion of Sir R. PEEL, and 'contended that the measures contemplated by government, would give such a general stimulus to trade as would create a revenue which would soon cover the existing deficiency. Lord STANLEY said he thought the ministry might hare proposed a bold and manly counter declaration to the mo tion of his right hon. friend, instead of by th e public opposi tion which it had met, accompanied by a tacit admission of the truth of his proposition. He had no doubt that the ministry were not only without the confidence of the hou se , but that they had not the confidence of their own support ers. This was proved by the fact, that in a number of divi sions upon questions of great importance, such as the ballot, &c, they would have found themselves in an alarmin g mino rity had it not been that the conservatives had stepped in to their aid against their own ordinary supporters. The right hon. gentleman, Mr. Macauley, had in his speech boasted that the 'ministry were supported by the favour of the crown, and he had added that this was the best support a ministry could have—(cheers). This was strange language from a whig minister—(cheers). It was, in fact, the most danger ous doctrine that could be whispered by a minister into the ear of a sovereign of the house of Ilanover—(great cheering). With respect to the result of their government, it was to be remembered that if Jamaica remained tranquil it was because they were over-ruled and controlled in the measures they had proposed. While, on the other hand, it was admitted that the finances of the country were in a deplorable condi tion from mismanagement, because in those matters the go vernment had acted without check or control of any kind — (cheers). The noble lord then contended that however glad 0 - 4**4*11;47 100; WO p 44, 14-y PAW vi * gm.* folicßurt, or vatoistry which sad, for too ICrlg a period, crippled the anargies of toe country, yet they bad a right to demand the nature of the causes which had led to a dissolution ; and though that house had no right to question the preroeetive of the crown in dissolving the parliament, yet for having ad vised that dissolution, the ministers must be responsible to a future parliament. sit was most unconstitutional to call on the house to discuss measures of importance under the me nace of a dissolution of parliament • for by so doing, they trenched upon the independence of hash. members, by expos e ing them to the temporary prejudices of their constituents, to protect them from which was the original reason for leng thening the duration of parliaments. The noble lord, ad verting to the course taken by the noble and hon. members for Lincolnshire, said that their voting against the corn laws next week, would be in the eyes of their constituents but a poor atonement for their vote in favour of ministers upon the motion of his right hon. friend. With respect to the charge made against him of inconsistency, he had no hesitation in saying that he and Sir Robert Peel had communicated mu tually their opinions to each other on all great political questions, and that he was prepared to take his share in what ever responibility might be cast upon his right hon. friend. The noble lord here retorted, amidst the cheers of the house, upon Mr. Handley in the happiest vein, showing, how often that gentleman had changed his political creed, and advised him iu future to abstain from personal attacks which might be apt to draw down retorts, which could not be very plea sant, however humble the quarter from which they proceeded. The noble lord then intimated that the time had arrived when the iniquities of the present government should be put an end to, and resumed his seat amidst great cheering. Lord J. RUSSELL denied that the present ministry bad by their measures crippled the energies of the country. On the contrary, neither in the colonies, in Canada, nor at home, had its energies shown any want of strength, while in Ireland they had won the affections of that generous people . to the crown by the justice of their proceedings. He quits assent ed to the proposition, that if the House of Commons, even without assigning reasons, refused and continued to refuse its confidence to a ministry, it was bound to resign, with the one alternative of dissolution. It was much more difficult, since the passing of the Reform Bill, for a government to carry on the affairs of legislation, because, since then, fair allowance should be made, not only for the opinions of in dividual members, but also for the influence which the opi nions of their constituents might cause in their conduct ; and this led of necessity, and always would lead hereafter, under any ministry, not only to the alteration, but to the abandonment of many measures ; for henceforth no govern ment could even possess the same extent of the confidence of the house as was formerly not unusual. The noble lord then taunted Sir R. Peel with having been a member of an administration which allowed seats in that house to be bought and sold as private property, and which allowed 800,000 hu man beings to be treated as goods and chattels, and then imputed to the right hon. baronet, as matter of grave cen sure, the not having done all that had since been done by the present government, such as the Poor-law Bill, the Tithe Bill, the Municipal Corporation Bill, &c. ; and asserted that no administration had ever, in the course of ten years, car ried more important measures through parliament than that of which he was a member, and which had been so calumni ated in the course of that debate; and all these improve ments had been effected without shaking in the slightest degree the rights of property, or occasioning anything revo lutionary in its character. If the government had resigned on being defeated on the sugar duties, it would have been said that they never intended to have really carried the mea sures they proposed. In order, therefore, to prove their sincerity, they resolved to promote the discussion of their meresares, and, before abandoning them, to appeal to the constituency of the country. The noble lord, in reference to the corn-laws, said he had no doubt but Sir Robert. Peel contemplated some very important changes in those laws, should he come into power; for, though he adhered to the sliding scale, he had not stated how low or how high he would allow the scale to slide. He was certainly mysterious in what he said upon the subject ; but still as he (Lord John Russell) interpreted the oracle, the right hon. baronet would propose some very important alterations. Even if the pre sent government were to resign, parties in the house were so nicely balanced that the right hon. baronet could not go on with his administration without an appeal to the people. And this was a justification of the course pursued by govern ment ; because, as a dissolution was, under any circum stances, inevitable, the resignation of the ministry, without appealing to the people, would be a virtual abandonment of the measures they proposed. The noble lord then intimated that the present ministry would not make any further delay in appealing to the people than was necessary for passing the financial measures necessary for the public service, and that parliament should again be called together at the earliest convenient period. (Cheers.) Sir R. PEEL, in reply, denied the justice of the imputations made against hint, of not having done that which had sub sequently been done by the Ministry, for, in fact, he was the first to originate alterations in the criminal law—(cheers) ; and in his short administration of 1835, he had proposed measures respecting the dissenters which had been considered as very liberal by hon. members on both sides of the house. (Cheers.) The noble lord, in enumerating the bills which had been passed, had forgotten to enumerate the dangers he had escaped with the assistance of the conservative party in that house. What would he have done on the ballot, and what with the new Reform Bill, had it not been for the con servatives ? He stood, upon many occasions, almost alone, as regarded his own supporters ' • and, but for the conserva tives, must have looked on during the storm, while the anchors were uprooted by which the British Monarchy was moored. (Great cheering.) The right hon. baronet then contrasted the flourishing condition in which he left the revenue of the country, with a surplus of £2,000,000, with the condition in which they were now placed, exhibiting an enormous deficiency, and said that after a long absence from office it was preposterous to expect that he should pledge himself, should he succeed to power, to any particular remedy for an evil produced by others, and the causes of which he had not at present the necessary means of ascertaining. He next contended that it was unconstitutional for the Govern ment to hold office after having lost the confidence of the house, and therefore it was that he had brought forward his motion of want of confidence. It was equally unconstitu tional, in his opinion, for a Government, after making up its mind to dissolution, to bring forward exactly such measures as would tend to damage the existing House of Commons, the confidence of which it had lost in the eyes of the con stituency of the country. (Cheers.) He admitted that they °suet have the So w .- S iil, bast to that no opposition was offered, and they had no, right to bring forward an other measure before resorting to a dissolution. Io reference to the corn laws, the right hon. baronet would not pledge him self to maintain the present bill exactly as it now stood ; for he was constantly receiving letters front the best friends of agriculture intim:dine; improvtnents which might be made in the details of that measure; but he still was of opinion that the sliding scale should be adhered to. More than this he would not say, for every word he uttered he was so closely pinned down to by hon. gentlemen, that he felt it necessary to he cautious—(cheers)—more particularly because they drew larger inferences from what he said than his words were intended to, or possibly could, convey. (Cheers.) What ever might be the event of the discussion, he should take his leave of it, content with the course he had pursued in the vindication of the constitutional rights of the House of Com mons. (Much cheering.) The house then divided, and the motion of Sir R. Peel was carried by a majority of 312 to 311. The announcement of the numbers se..s received with long continued cheers. On the question that the house at its rising do adjourn to Monday, Lord J. RUSSELL stated that on Monday it was the inten tion of the Government to move so much of the miscellane ous e Aimates as could not be omitted without great inconve nience to the public service. Several Hon. MEMBERS—Corn laws ! corn laws! Lord J. Rossi:Le said he would state on Monday what course lie would take. (Immense cheering from the opposition benches.) Lord J. RUSSELL said, " I shall be quite satisfied in stating on Monday what course I shall pursue ; but the right hon. gentlemen having, in his reply, brought forward a num ber of new charges, which had not been heard of before, I must have time to deliberate as to what course it may be ne cessary to take in order to vindicate the conduct of the Go vernment." Sir R. PEEL—I think that the greater part of the speech of the noble lord was an attack upon myself—(hear, hear). I certainly should he sorry if it were possible to impute to me the taking any unfair advantage in bringing forward charges. I assure the noble lord, if I (lid ad; it was contrary to my intention; for, knowing that the noble lord could not reply to me, I said not one word on the subject of foreign policy, I said not one word except in connection with charges made against myself. Ido not deprecate any course which the noble lord may think it necessary to pursue ; but I should be sorry, I should be very sorry, if he thought I took the ad vantage of a reply to make an attack. Mr. HINDLEY—I do not care twopence for the charges which have been made, but I am anxious for a discussion en the corn laws. I hope that on Monday the noble lord will say he is determined to bring on that important question. Mr. Huaie : 1 cannot understand why the noble lord is not prepared to say when he will discuss the corn laws. Ample time has been given. Tuesday being the first open day, the noble lord ought to fix it for that day. The house, at its rising, adjourned to Monday. The other orders of the day were disposed of, and the house ` lt adjourned at half-past three. us- CHURCH EXTENSION The following sums have been raised by the Established Church within the last few years towards Church Exten sion : Metropolitan Church Building Fund Bethnal .green do.

What you take for diamonds are the imitations which I mounted at her request when she sold me the real stones."

TO CORRESPONDENTS We have not yet received the Sportsman, Belle Assembles, Farmer's Magazine, &c. We wish our correspondents would only write on one side of the paper. We do not precisely understand the drift of " A Defender of the British Constitution." His arguments are not suffi ciently close, and his style is too vapid and unconnected. We observe another prosy epistle from that reviler of the church of England, Mr. M'Crea, in a radical contempo rary of yesterday. Our dispute with this gentleman lies in a nutshell—we will state it as briefly as possible. A communication was forwarded to us a few weeks since by this dissenting minister, in which our church establishment was designated " the vainglorious first-born of the mother of harlots," and a highly estimable clergyman of that church was branded with "exclusive bigotry." We de clined to disgrace the columns of the STANDARD by the insertion of this letter, and we infer our conservative con temporaries followed our example. For adopting this step, we of course gave our reasons, which so offended this prag matical, conceited personage, that he descended to give publicity to a gross and libellous untruth respecting the po sition of the proprietors of this paper. We have given Mr. M'Crea an opportunity of retracting his calumnious and disreputable language. He has declined to do so ; and we are therefore compelled, in defence of our characters as tradesmen, and in defiance of our calumniator's hypocriti cal abhorrence of personalities in which he indulges with out measure, to repeat that the language to which we have alluded is wilfully false, and that we shall hold no further communication with a person so contemptible as to use it, until it is plainly and unequivocally withdrawn. It was evi dently used in relation to our standing in business, for we have never condescended to notice any reflections upon our " meekness of temper, or dignity ag a journalist," under which subterfuge Mr. M'Craa endeavours to hide himself. We know more of this gentleman's proceedings than be is perhaps aware of, but we forbear at present exposing him further. He will find in another column a letter from Mr. Baylee, the contemplation of which will be a more suitable employment, than reviling and bearing false witness against any of his neighbours. Ebr Eibrpool &tanbarb. TUESDAY MORNING, JUNE 8, 1841 CONSERVATIVE ELECTORS OF LIVERPOOL ! Are you wide awake? Yes, we believe you are, and no mistake. Well, what do you think of the,—the-- c, c,—orn laws ? All, we see that tickles you. Yes, that question is enough to set you all a-going ; but we beg of you to be serious for a few moments. What would you think of that question being used to convert you all into Liberals ? (Laughter.) There' again I but we beg of you to keel) your countenances : would you laugh if the Whigs were to gain the representa tion of your town ? Certainly you would not. Then that is the subject to which we are about directing your attention; for you must know that the Whigs in tend contesting the borough, and seriously hope to win by fightinsr you with—" corn laws." (Laughter.) Sir Robert Peel has beat them gloriously in the House of Commons, and has drawn from that assembly a de claration that Whig ministers are unworthy of confi dence. The house is a house of their own choosing, and it is what is called a " reformed" house, that is to say, a house constituted on reform principles, and ac cording to laws introduced by Whigs who presume to call themselves above all other men, " Reformers," and yet this house has brought in ministers " undeserving of trust." Well, if their own friends, and those who know them best, think thus of them, would it not be a droll thing if they should come to you for a character, and request of you, who always had a suspicion of them, to place confidence in them ? You would natu rally ask to see the discharge they had obtained from their last employers, and finding on examination that it declared them to be. men who could not be trusted, you would immediately exclaim, what amazing assu rance they have to come to us ! And then, so soon as you had turned them out of doors, you would in stinctively try you pockets, lest anything might have been picked from you whilst you were, inadvertently, in such bad company. CONSERVATIVE ELECTORS OF LIVERPOOL ! Will you vote for Whigs whom a Whig House of Commons pronounces, after a most searching investigation, to be unworthy of confidence ? No ; we are very sure, un less some foul trick be played, you will do no such thing. But there is a trick—it trick that can be called whose artifice is open to every eye—and do ye-1 know what it is ? Why our old friends, or acquaintances rather, (for there is no great friendship between us,) the old boys, we say, are all to come out with new faces, or rather with Anti-Corn-Law masks (specially imported for the occasion), and they confidently ex pect that under this disguise you will never know them 1 There now, you laugh again ; but we tell you this is the game. You will see the mummers running about the town in all directions crying "cheap bread, cheap bread ; and many a poor Whig fool will be caught by the yelp; but, brother Conservatives, do you put under the mask, or just look down to the foot, and if you don't see the old knavish phiz under the one, or the cloven foot at the other extremity, vote for Lord Pal merston and Sir Joshua Walmsley by all means, or any other brace of Whigs you please. We shall not say another word to induce you to vote against them, if you find us deceiving you in this particular. But if, having stripped off the masquerade dress, you discover none but the inveterate humbugs beneath, we ask, will you not feel indignant at such an attempt to impose upon you, and more anxious than perhaps you have over felt to place this great commercial town, your native borough, beyond the gripe of such par ties ? We are convinced you will. It will not be enough to have your justly-esteemed, excellent repre sentatives, Lord Sandon and Mr. Cresswell, placed at the head of the poll; you must re-elect them by such a glorious, triumphant majority as will shew what stuff you are made of, and give to Liverpool a conspicuous place in the great Conservative returns of the kingdom. CONSERVATIVES OF LIVERPOOL ! It will not do for you to do things tamely. Your noble example has never failed to inspire other constituencies with a ge nuine Old English feeling—a true patriotic ardour; and this, we tell you, is a time when " England expects that every man will do his duty." There are two points of which, both now and at fu ture opportunities, we should wish especially to remind you ; and these are—first, that you never heard a word about " cheap bread," " free trade," &c., from the Whigs, till Lord Nlortpe by th' the s Popish -Iri s h R eg i s t ra tio n Bill was thrott n u Conservatives. Mark o wethat, you ! There y ou h ave t h e c l oven f oot as beg of ifplain Satan himself h a d l ost hi s b oots. " N ow, " said Lord John Russell, " we will pay you for this. You think you have got us out;—no such thing; we will be revenged of you." So out comes the cheap bread and free-trade scheme! Secondly, we warn you, and we will prove it to you, that this cheap-bread, free-trade scheme is the most flagitious falsehood, the most execrable delusion, the most diabolical plot, ever invented to lead a simple people to their destruction. We know both who de vised it and by whom it is adopted, and well we know that, when all is told, you will not be imposed upon by it. 2,700 6,000 1,500 1,500 2,500 1,300 1,500 1,300 Conservatives of Liverpool !
