At half-past nine, the heads of colleges, masters of arts, and all the fellows of Trinity, were in attendance at the lodge, and at ten o'clock admitted in order of precedence to the royal presence chamber, Henry the Eighth's draw ing-room, where they were presented to her majesty. At ten o'clock on Thursday morning, the trumpets announced the approach of the queen to the Senate House. Her majesty was received at the entrances by the vice-chan cellor, the lord-steward, and a number of the higher authorities of the university. Her majesty was plainly but elegantly dressed, wearing a black and purple striped satin gown, black velvet cardinal without any collar, and a lilac silk bonnet. The prince wore a field marshal's uniform. CORRESPONDENCE TO THE EDITOR OF THE LIVERPOOL STANDARD, The throne to which her majesty was conducted was overhung with a canopy of red velvet, lined with white satin, and surmounted by an imperial crown. The heads of houses and doctors of divinity, law, and physic, took their stations on the dais right and left of her majesty ; and on either side, also, stood groups of the more distin guished of the fair portion of the assembly. Portions of the galleries were also set apart for ladies. When her majesty entered, and for some short space after she took her seat on the throne, the cheers throughout the build ing were deafening. A signal being given to the under graduates in the gallery, all was instantly hushed; and the ceremony of conferring a doctor's degree on Prince Albert, and robing his royal highness in the scarlet gown, was commenced. After this had been gone through, the public orator (Mr. Crick, of St. John's College) delivered a Latin oration, addressed especially to the royal pair, thanking them, in the name of the university, for the special favour they conferred upon it by their gracious visit, and congratulating the learned body o❑ the auspi cious occasion. His royal highness bowed frequently, and now and then really blushed at the very eloquent compli ments paid him by the speaker. Her majesty after remaining in the Senate House for nearly an hour and a half, and until the imposing cere• monies had been concluded, was conducted to the Public Library, which is next the Senate House, by the Vice- Chancellor and the higher authorities. Sirt, —Notwithstanding our boasted civilization and moral improvement, there are amongst us persons who, it appears, bid defiance to the laws of morality, and scru ple not to practice the most daring profaneness with im punity—totally regardless of the requirements of religion. For the last week there has been placarded about the town a note announcing the arrival of "a young devil— to be seen alive, &c. ;" and another bearing a nonsensical device intended to' represent the object which is thus so injudiciously made the occasion of sport and presumption. Fropg whatever source this imprudence has emanated, it deft•ves the severest reprehension, and is an error which ought not to escape without observation. To those persons who have their country's good and the welfare of their fellow -creatures at heart, and who possess some regard for their own conduct, it is disgraceful in the extreme; and to those who are reckless of the future, and who are ever on the alert to suck in what advantage they can against our established religion it will afford am p l e reason for scorn and deri s i on , i t will, indeed, cause the " enemies of God to blaspheme !" I am no despiser of amusements so long as they tend to recreate the mind without corrupting it; but when serious subjects are construed into ridicule—v% hen the limits of decency and good sense are over-reached—it is time to withdraw from places of amusement where " sin lieth at the door."—l am, sir, your obedient servant, AN OBSERVER. TO THE EDITOR OF THE LIVERPOOL STANDARD. " And some are blessed with store of wit, " Yet want much more to manage it." Her majesty and the - prince visited the provost's house, and walked about the grounds for a brief space : after which they proceeded in the royal carriage through the back gate of King's, and thence by the rear of Trinity to the back entrance of St. John's College. The queen and prince then visited the Church of the Holy Sepulchre, generally called the Round Church, which has lately undergone a superb renovation under the super intendence of the Camden Society. The royal pair ex pressed themselves much plea , led with the restoration of the beauties of the ancient edifice. After a very brief interval her majesty and the prince proceeded together in an open carriage to the Pitt Press, after which they drew up before one of the most superb and beautiful buildings in this or any other country, the new Fitzwilliam Museum. Her Majesty did not alight from her carriage, but stopped some moments contemplating the magnificent exterior of the building. She then visited Corpus Christi College and the new Church, and drove back to Trinity College, the gate of which she entered at four o'clock. After hav ing remained at the lodge for about half an hour, the royal pair took their :departure through the front gate, where a detachment of the Scotch greys escorted the royal car riages out of town, along Trinity-street, King's Parade, Silver-street, and over the Queen's Bridge, through Newnham, and on the Barton road for Wimpole, the seat of Lord Hardwicke.

The Earl of Hardwicke received the Queen on her Majesty alighting from the royal carriage, and conducted his august visitor up the steps to the entrance-hall, where the Countess of Hardwicke was waiting to welcome her Majesty. The Duke of Rutland, Marquis and Marchioness of Normanby, Marquis of Exeter, Earl of Caledon, Viscount and Viscountess Canning, and the other visitors especially invited to meet the Queen and Prince, were previous to dinner assembled in the drawing room, and there had the honour of being introduced to the Queen. At eight o'clock dinnei• was announced. The enter tainment was served up in the grand dining-room, a noble apartment in the south wing, in which are hung many valuable portraits of the Hardwicke family, that of Lord Chancellor Hardwicke being conspicuous among the rest. The table presented a splendid display of plate, a silver plateau, on which were ornaments of silver bearing the choicest fruit, arranged alternately with massive silver candelabra, extending the whole length of the table. In the centre, opposite to the Queen and Prinee Albert, was placed a beautiful model in silver of St. Michael over coming Satan, of exquisite workmanship. On the side tables there was a profusion of ornamental plate, salvers, &c. Covers were laid for 2-1. 'The Queen and Prince sat beside each other at the table, with the noble host and hostess on either side, and all retired for the night shortly before twelve o'clock. On Friday evening a splendid ball was given at Lord Hardwick's, at which all the leading families of the county and isle, to the number of three hundred, were present. On Saturday, at eleven o'clock, her Majesty and suite left Wirnpole, and arrived at Windsor at a quarter before five, having travelled by a special train on the Great Western Railway. The testimonials of respect paid on the road fully equalled those which awaited her Majesty at almost every spot during her progress to Cambridge on Wednesday. COURT OF PASSAGE This court continued its sittings on Tuesday. The fol- lowing are the only cases of interest since our last : ACCIDENT AT THE DOCK, PENNINGTON V. S➢IEATHAM.—The plaintiff in this case was a person in the employ of Messrs. Bower and Son, cotton brokers, and the defendant is a cartowner. On the 17th of April last the defendant's cart was on the quay at the Victoria Dock, and the plaintiff was en gaged in assisting to discharge cotton from the Hibernia. According to the evidence of' the plaintiff's witnesses, a hale of cotton fell down in consequence of the negligence of the defendant's cartar. by which the plaintiff's leg was broken. It was contended, however, on the part of the defendant, that the accident Arose out of circumstances over which the defendant had no controul. The plaintiff was urahle to attend to his duties for about twenty weeks, part of the time he was attended by a medical man. The damages were laid at £l9. The jury, after a few moments' consultation, found a verdict for the plaintiff for £lO. ACCIDENT FROM FURIOUS DRIVING. BOARDMAN v. TYRER.—The plaintiff, Richard Board man, as stated by Mr. JAMES, was the owner of a mare which was kept in a field in Great Howard-street, and on the first day of last Aintree races, in the evening, be sent his son to fetch her from the field. On bringing her out of the field, and just as she was coming on the road, a car helong:ng to the defendant, and driven by one of his ser vants named Henry Si mister, was coming along at a furious rate, in consequence of which the mare was knocked down, and her foot becoming entangled in the wheel one of her legs was broken, and she was so much injured that it was found necessary to kill her. The driver did not stop at the time, but continued al a rapid pace for some distance. He was, however, eventually stopped, when he used most insulting language to the party who had charge of the mare ; he was also intoxicated. The amount sought was £lO, being the value of the mare. Mr. PAGET ad dressed the jury on the part of the defendant, and called several witnesses, who gave a complete contradiction to the case as set forth on behalf of the plaintiff. Mr. JAMES replied, contending that the witnesses for the defence were unworthy of credit. The jury considered it unnecessary to have the evidence read over, and immediately found a verdict for the plaintiff, damages £7. Stn,—lt is a notorious fact that the greatest scolds are the most irritable, when only gently chided for their folly or their inconsistencies : just so with the Mercury. From its commencement to the present era abounding with spleen and vituperation against all who doubted its prescience, or refused to swallow its dogmas,—let any one dare to place its merits and demerits in the scales, and the vials of its wrath are instantly poured forth with the ireful volubility of a petulant and spoiled schoolboy ! During a long ca reer, (and much too long without a proper check,) of more than 32 years, this joarnal hath played the vicar of Bray with admirable tact and ingenuity ; from the days of Henry Hunt to those of Daniel O'Connell, the Liverpool Mer cury was, and is still, the same,—the pander to discon tent, irreligion, and disorganization, whatever fitful shape, or form, or dangerous attitude such feverish symptoms in the state might assume ; and, like the camelion Daniel, hath displayed equal powers of self-preservation in the hour of peril. However, more of this historical sketch at a future period. I shall, in this letter, endeavour to confine myself to its moral turpitude of Friday last. In speaking of what he calls "the political movements of the Church," he slyly strives to convince his readers that his sole motive for continually attacking the esta blished clergy is for their politics alone. I will, briefly as possible, analyse this futile position of the church's enemy. He speaks of the " rancour breathing of some of her cler gymen against better men than themselves, who belong to other Christian churches." In this tirade, it must be as sumed he means the public appeals made by the fai'hful sons of the church against the spread of Popery and Uni tarianism, as exemplified by their union with sedition, the ever-consequent follower in the wake of intolerance and semi-infidelity. But, (for argument's sake, only, and waiving religious disputation,) granting that the sons of the church were so far acting erroneously,—whoever wit nessed the Mercu , y condemning, or impartially denounc ing, the wild and fierce and fanatical attacks of the Roman Catholic priesthood upon the constitution and the church ? None : their political " rancour breathing against better men than themselves" was lauded as philanthropic; as " breathing" only for the welfare of the poor of Ireland ! No condemnation ever issued from the Mercury against rent-gatherings, or repeal-gatherings of money by anathe ma, threats, or excommunicating terrors! Oh no : all this passed by without much notice, beyond continual side winded approvals of their dastardly course, put forth to secure that " wide" circulation for his harlequin organ which it so pre-eminently enjoys. Again, whoever read in the Mercury, any comments on, or signs of disappro bation of, the immoral conduct of some dissenting clergy men I have "in my mind's eye?" "Oh ! let them pass, they are our political friends, advocates for civil and reli gious liberty, forsooth ! But, in direct contradiction of the hardy assertion that they have " never maligned the clergy, or attacked the church,—we have no disposition to do so," what will an honest public think of the continual attacks and sneers of the Mercury against that portion of the established church to whom he has repeatedly applied the " low" designation of " the Irish brigade ?" Is not this scurrillous and put forth to bring them into disrepute and contempt? Most undoubtedly ; it is done for that purpose. All the flowers of the wormwood and verjuice vocabulary, in which the emissaries of the Mercury are such admirable adepts, have been out in requisition to cry down the efforts of that zealous and ever-active portion of the church clergy, at the head of which stands the Rev. H. M'Neile. None can contradict this position in the present day. Your space and the short time elapsing between the publication of the two papers not permitting me to look over a file of the Mercury, to which I have access, (at the same time acknowledging my due sense of his civil offer,) I shall this week be obliged to content myself with naming from memory a few of the established clergy whom the Mercury has wantonly and unprovokedly attacked : Reverends J. Brooks, A. Campbell, Blacow, Carpenter, Wray, F. Oulde, Tattershall, James, Tat lock, and Barker, of this town ; the Rev. Mr. Moss, of Walton ; the Rev. Mr. Baylee, of Birkenhead • the Rev. J. T. H or t on, o f Ormskirk ; the Rev. M r . Marsden, of Eccles; the Rev. J. Pigot, of St. Helen's ; the Rev. Mr. Hay, of Man chester, the Rev. Mr. Powell, of Wigan ; with numerous others, as his file of papers will amply prove, and with which proofs I will be faithfully prepared in your next. How and why, and upon what provocation, these reverend gentlemen came to be the objects of the Mercury's ani madversions—they having "no disposition to do so"—is for that versatile paper to explain ; the more particularly so as the weaknesses and discrepancies of the ministers of "other churches" appear to have escaped his notice. As regards being scurrilous with me, I shall only state, that the Mercury has libelled me in the most coarse and unfeeling manner, and that, too, from political sp l een, without any grounds or provocation whatever on my part; yet I heeded not when my friends pointed it out to me— "'twas only the Mercury, and all things have a time." As to any " gall at success," that is evidently with the editor, at my having galled him in the withers so unwit tingly by awkwar'l reminiscences ; and the insinuation about my being " employed" by you, you can testify, is totally false! It ill becomes the Mercury to mount upon its stilts and exclaim and complain against scurrility when its columns are perpetually teeming with low personalities Yours, &c., DISPUTED PARTNERSHIP. HEALEY v. CRISP AND IIEALNY.—The plaintiff in this case was Mrs. Healer. a widow lady, residing near the Old Swan, and the defendants, Joseph Crisp and Ed ward Healey, were parties carrying on business as auc tioneers and ecclesiastical and scholastic agents. The action was brought to recover the sum of £5O, which it was alleged had been lent by the plaintiff to the defendants. Mr. JAMES appeared for the plaintiff. and Mr. ARNOLD for the derendants. The defendant Edward Healey al lowed jndgment to go by default. Tt appeared the defendants entered into partnership in 1842, and in the early part of the present year entered into an enagagement with the Grand Junction Railway Com pany to start a cheap train to London. They were to deposit a sum of money, and guarantee a certain number of passengers. the difference between what they paid to the company and what they charged to the public being for their own benefit, as a remuneration for their risk. According to the terms of negotiation, the company re quired the sum of £lOO as a deposit to indemnify them from any loss before they would incur the liability. The defendants had not the money at that time, and an appli cation was accordingly made to Mrs. Healey, the mother of one of the defendants, by letter, dated from Slater street, the place of business of the defendants. The application was for £7O, but only £5O was obtained, which, together with £2O. was paid to the company, who had consented to take £7O as a deposit, instead of £lOO, as previously required. The trains wera accordingly sent, and about 1200 passengers sent by them, giving a con siderable profit to the speculators. A promissory note was given to Mrs. Healey for the £5O, signed by Edward Healey. in the name of the firm, and Mr. Crisp himself had admitted that the money had been lent for the specu lation in question. but that he would not pay it until the accounts connected with the railway affair had been set tled, the money being, as Mr. Crisp alleged lent to Mr. Edward Healey nn his own responsibility, to enable him to pay his proportion of the deposit, and that he had no authority to give the partnership name for that amount. Witnesses having been called for the plaintiff, Mr. ARNOLD, on the part of the defendant, denied there was any trading partnership as regarded the railway aneculation, and that one partner had no right to hind the other. It was a separate and distinct matter from their agency business. The jury exnressed themselves satisfied, and a verdict was found for the plaintiff For £5O. CLAIM POE Dr TsT. FELL v. DAVIES.—Th e plaintiff is a grocer, and the de. fendant a slater and plasterer ; and the action was for goods sold and delivered (amounting to £5 13s. 11d.) to the de fendant, consistin g of different articles of household use. The defendant pleaded a set-off for work done, as was sup posed on account of the nlaintiff.—Verdict for the plain tiff for the full amount claimed. INJURY FROM A VICIOUS NORS E . StIELLTDAY DEAKIN.—It anpeared from the state ment of Mr. JAMES that the defendant, John Deakin, was the owner of a mischievous horse, which was driven in one of his carts. The plaintiff was a working man ; and, on the 12th of July last, while passing along the quay, between the Victoria and Waterloo Docks, the horse, which had been loused from the cart, attacked him, and knocked him down, by which he was severely injured and prevented from following his employment for some time. The jury returned a verdict for the plaintiff— damages £lO. A t .

TO THE EDITOR OF THE LIVERPOOL STANDARD. Sra,—Public opinion having been successfully brought into operation as regards the affording more relaxation from business, and better means of cultivating and im proving the minds, in the case of the assistant shopkeep ers of the town, I wish to solicit your aid and advocacy in promoting the cause of the solicitors' clerks, in their endeavours to procure a general relaxation from the tedi um and monotony of their avocation, on Saturday after noon. It is a well known fact, that the bustle and alac rity generally requisite in most occupations, are materially instrumental in preserving a buoyancy of spirits and a healthy circulation of the blood ; but the duties of solici tors' clerks are proverbially dull,—the memory and eyes being in constant tension, to the manifest exhaustion of the animal functions, and causing a lethargy directly oppo site to that cheerfulness so essential to health. Seden tary employment wearying the nerves and animal faculties as much in one hour as active motion will in two hours. If, in addition to these considerations, the solicitors of this town reflect, that Saturday afternoon is not a time wherein the law is in much request, tradesmen and others being then held in abeyance to other necessary and urgent duties and business, I am of opinion they will, at once, concede the desired boon, and no longer withhold so sea sonable and proper a regulation, the more particularly so when the fact of several respectable solicitors having al ready adopted this regulation is made known.

LIVERPOOL DISTRICT COURT OF BANKRUPTCY TUESDAY. (Before Mr. Commissioner PHILLIPS.) RE PHILLIPS. Mr. PAYNE ComplitiCledtoihe - eourt of the report of this case, which appeared in the Journal and Chronicle, and was copied into the Albion. He said he believed it was furnished by the messenger's (Mr. Gaskell's) clerk. He did not find fault with its accuracy, but he thought, as the insolvent had been sent out of Court during the statement of the opposing solicitor, such statement, being ex parte, should not have been published. His HONOUR expressed his disapprobation in very strong terms of any officer sending reports to the news papers, and said the application to him was a waste of the time of the Court, as he had no power to prevent any one (except his own officers) from reporting. RE WILSON, INSOLVENT. This was the day appointed for granting the final order. The examination took place on the 2nd instant, when, after an opposition which was over-ruled, and no material objection made by the official assignee to the schedule, this day was fixed for the final order. Mr. GREEN appeared fWili;i;Olrent, and said he un derstood his friend Mr. Payne intended to oppose. Mr. PAYNE disclaimed any such intention. No other creditor opposed. Mr. Turner, the official assignee, was absent on account of indisposition, and Mr. BIRD officiated for him. The papers were furnished to Mr. Turner, on the 4th of Sep tember. His HONOUR took a course not very usual in this stage of the proceedings. He subjected the insolvent to a rigid examination, from which it appeared that he had been partner in several concerns, all of which had been wound up, and were unprofitable. From one he was to receive £350, but he had drawn £lOO only, the other portion having been retained to meet the losses of the concern, and monies advanced to the insolvent on his private ac count. He was now disconnected from any firm, and de pendent on his own exertions, and had no certain income. There was an agreement given up to the official assignee, by virtue of which the insolvent, in consideration of un dertaking the management of some chemical works, was entitled to a third of the profit on the sale of borax, ashes, tines!, boracic acid, anti soda, the amount of which was unknown to the insolvent. The insolvent had, also, been a lecturer on chemistry, from which he had derived some small gains. - His HoNouß inquired of the official assignee whether he had investigated the insolvent's claim under the agree. ment, and Mr. Bird having answered that he had not, his Honour said he should adjourn the case for three months that the official assignee might see whether any proposal could be made for the creditors, and he should send the case back to Mr. Commissioner Skirrow's court. Mr. GREEN urged that the insolvent had given the best account he could, that he had no income, and that the re sidue of the £250 had been taken to make up the losses of the concern; that the insolvent could get no employment until he had passed the court, and pressed for a shorter adjournment, and that the hearing might take place in that court. His HONOUR appointed the 17th November, and or dered the case to be heard before Mr. Commissioner Skirrow. NEW AND INGENIOUS MODE OF REEFING TOPSAILS. —We have been much gratified by an inspection of the apparatus, or large working model, for reefing topsails, invented and patented by our townsman Mr. Winspear, erected in the yard of his premises, No. 52, Sparling street, and representing the foremast, fore-topmast, &c. of a schooner of considerable burthen. The plan, though by no means complicated, is somewhat difficult to describe without the aid of diagrams, and we would therefore ad vise those of our nautical friends who feel an interest in inventions having for their object the facilitating and im proving the usual and long-adopted mode of working the topsails of vessels, to visit the yard, and, taking into ac count the differences that may arise between the working of such an apparatus when fixed on terra firma, and when rolling about in a sea-way, with occasional adverse winds —to judge for themselves of its practicability. Many years ago the writer of this conceived the notion that it might be possible to abridge the labours of the seaman in reefing topsails, by means of a roller working in the centre of the topsail yard ; the latter being made of a tubular form, with a narrow groove or opening below to admit the sail as it was rolled up, in the manner of an encased window blind. On suggesting such a plan, however, to some nautical friends, he found that he had been fore stalled in the idea by several innovators who had thought of some similar contrivance, which, if ever fairly tested, (which is questionable,) was abandoned, from the neces sity found of making a hollow yard to contain a large roll of the sail (when double or close reeled,) so thick and clumsy as to give it the requisite strength, that ifs weight and the displacement it would require, would more than counterbalance any advantages that might arise from the comparatively easy and rapid manner in which reefs might be taken in by mechanical agency without going aloft. This was on the supposition that the yard was to be of wood ; but in these ingenious days of working in metals— when even iron ships are built lighter and more buoyant than those of oak, it may perhaps be not too much to as sume that hollow yards of iron or copper might be made by which the principle might he carried out. Be this as it way, the plan proposed by Mr. Winspear, though to a certain extent similar—inasmuch as the sail is reefed on a roller—appears to us to be more immediately available, being more simple in itself, and so much less of an inno vation on the accustomed plan, that the prejudices of " the old school" will not be so strongly arrayed against it, and masters of vessels may more readily give it a trial. In announcing his plan, Mr. Winspear states that, by means of it, "topsails may be reefed in the short spaceof one minute, without leaving the deck, and at a considerable saving of expense ;" and adds that " all reef-tackle, reef ear-rings, reef bands, reef points, and cringles are dispensed with— rendering the sail much lighter and more manageable," The yard is the same as that at present used, but in front of, and parallel to it, at the distance of a few inches, and in a downward diagonal position from it, is a roller of wood, through the middle of which runs a strong iron rod. This rod or spindle is secured in iron work, or eye bolts at a short distance from either end of the yard, so as to allow of its being turned. The roller is also supported at different points (the number to be determined by the length) by what are called in iron-work S's, or more properly by pieces of iron resembling in shape the inter rogation in printing (?), but longer in the shank or straight part, which part or portion of which last is driven through the yard and secured to it by rivetting, while the outer part, projected clear from the yard, and forming rather more than a semicircle, serves as a hook to sup port the roller at each requisite point. The brass hooks used for supporting a telescope horizontally against a wall, are somewhat similar, and the rounded part or hook is flattened and covered with leather to prevent the sail when rolled up from being chafed or worn by the friction in rolling up or loosening out a reef. There were four of these for the sail we saw. There are also other securities in bent iron rod-work near each end, which tend to the tight and even and compact rolling up of the sail. At each end of the long roller there is a small iron roiler or reel on the same spindle, round which there is a coil of chain leading to the middle of the yard, and hence down to the deck. If a reef is wanted the yard is lowered, and by clapping on to a tackle attached to the lower ends of each of the two chains, the whole spindle along side the yard is easily turned by a few hands, and the sail taken up or reefed to any required extent,—half a reef, three-fourths, a whole reef, or two or three reefs. The sail we saw was readily reefed by only one man, who pulled down a chain with each hand with the simple pur chase of a single block and fall ; and we should think a very large topsail might be reefed by four men, two to each tackle. The iron rollers, at the extremities, on which the chains work are proposed to be 8 to 9 inches long, and about 3 inches diameter in a vessel of about 400 tons bur then. From the gradual widening of the sail towards the lower yard, the bolt ropes do not ride over each other in reefing, and the whole apparatus is so snug, that though additional to the usual topsail-yard, it presents no eye sore, the roller being scarcely observable at a moderate distance. One considerable advantage appears to be, that as there is a space between the main roller and the yard, the sail spills itself to a considerable extent through this opening at the top when the yard is lowered for reefing, and thus facilit a t es th e operat i on o f ree fi ng. B ut thoug h much reefing gear is saved by the plan, it does not so clearly appear to us that reef-tackles can be altogether dispensed with, as we think that by lifting the sail to wards the yard they would relieve considerably the power otherwise required in rolling up the sail, and would be at tended with very little additional trouble. This, however, ST. ANNE'S-STREET WARD SCOTLAND WARD A meeting of the conservative electors of Scotland Ward took place on Friday evening last, at Mrs. Barton's, In Burlington -street. The attendance was very numerous and respectable, comprising many gentlemen of standing in the town ; and the whole of the proceedings were cha racterised by a degree of enthusiasm and feeling amply demonstrative of the unabated attachment of the electors to the good cause. Mr. Thomas Wilson, our celebrated shipbuilder, was, on the motion of Mr. Redfert, unanimously called to the chair ; and this selection was followed by three times three cheers for that gentleman and Mr. Vernon. The CHAIRMAN thanked the meeting for the high com pliment paid by those present to Mr. Vernon and himself, and said that he much regretted that, in consequence of illness, Mr. Vernon was unable to attend that evening. His son, however, had come amongs t th em, an d, h e doubted not, would be welcomed by them for his father's sake. (Cheers.) He (the chairman) had also to explain that several of their conservative friends who had intended to be present, had been prevented by various causes— amongst others, Mr. James Aspinall and Mr. A. Lace. The former had to attend at Preston that day, on the appointment of a governor to Kirkdale Gaol; and the latter, in a note in which he expressed his hest wishes for their success, stated that but for an unavoidable engage ment he would have had the pleasure of meeting them. He (the chairman) trusted, however, that the electors would use their utmost endeavours triumphantly to secure the election of Mr. Vernon. Mr. J. KERFOOT then briefly proposed the first resolu tion, to the effect that Thomas Vernon, Esq., being inti mately acquainted with, and interested in, the commerce and manufactures of the town, and the ward in particular, and being of sound conservative principles, was the can didate suited to their views. Dr. WNscoL, in seconding the resolution, said that Mr. Vernon was yet unable to leave the house, but he was happily recovering, and he hoped would be enabled to be with them on Wednesday next. He trusted the electors would use every exertion to secure his return, as he felt assured he (Mr. V.) would, if elected, do all in his power to give them entire satisfaction. (Cheers.) The resolution was put, and carried unanimously. Mr. THOMAS ELLIOT said there was no doubt, from the canvass that had already taken place, but that the election of Mr. Vernon was secure, and he moved a re solution pledging those present to use every exertion to attain that object. This was seconded by Mr. R. EDWARDS, and also una nimously carried. Mr. VERNON, jun., then presented himself, and was received with the loudest applause. He stated that he had just received a letter from his father, in which he stated that he was fast recovering, and enjoining bin] (Mr. J. Vernon) to help them forward, for his heart was with them, and he felt proud in being supported by so zealous and noble-hearted a body of conservatives. He could confidently state for his father, that he would do all in his power for the interests of the whole con s tituency. His principles were thoroughly conservative; his religion scriptural; he was a firm supporter of the Establi s h e d Church ; his motto had ever been " No Popery" ; an d he was a friend to justice both to the poor and the rich. He (the speaker) felt highly honoured for the support given to his father them, so numerous a body, for whi c h h e sincerely thanked and concluded by expressin hope that they would not relax in their endeavng4 that his father's absence would stimulate them tuek and increasing support, so that they might noblnyinAirti,-': victory.

Meantime we think the invention worthy of the consideration of ship-masters, and are glad to learn that it has already been applied to a ship's wizen top-mast that recently left this port for New Orleans, so that we may hereafter be enabled to report progress. Several naval officers have, we learn, given their testimony in its behalf, and amongst others the gal- lent Admiral Napier, whose only demur was, that it would render the men so lazy that they might lie in their berths and order the ship-lads, when a reef was wanted , to hand them down the ropes, that they might reef the sails while they lay in bed ! :4: it; The votes were then taken, when there appeared for the motion, Messrs.

Popery was making rapid strides in the country, by means of municipal councils as well as in other modes, however some people might try to conceal it. The object of the re eal agitation was the downfall of the Established Church. Unfortunately there were too many who pro fessed liberal conservatism. They were worse than radi cals. The old name of tory was far better than the com paratively new one of conservative. He euloeised the character of Mr. Harbord, and dwelt strongly on the at tention which he paid to the poor, and the fac t th a t i n a Series of letters publi s h e d i n the LIVERPOOL STANDARD he drew the attention of the public to the sanatory defects of Liverpool, long before Dr. Duncan's pamphlet was published ; and would, therefore, be useful in carrying out the provisions of the new act which the town so much, required. (Cheers.) After a stirring appeal to the elec tors present, in which he drew attention to the fact that they had only three days to complete their canvass, whilst their opponents had already finished their work, he pro posed the folliwing resolution, viz.:— " That it is the opinion of this meeting that Mr. H. G. Harbord is a fit and proper man to represent this ward in the Town Council." Dr. GOUTHWAITE seconded the motion, which was carried unanimously. Mr. HARBORD was then introduced, and received with tremendous cheering and the Kentish tire. After some radical interruption, which was quickly disposed of by the summary ejection of the intruder, Mr. Harbord pro ceeded to state the motives by which he had been induced to offer himself as a candidate. When he first signified his assent to the deputation which had waited upon him, he felt that he came forward with a certainty of defeat before him ; and yet, as a true conservative, he had not flinched, and would not flinch from any step by which the great cause of conservatism in the borough could be benefitted. Since he came amongst them, however, he had been agreeably deceived, and he felt now assured of triumphant success. Mr. Harbord then proceeded to comment, clause by clause, upon the address which he had put forward, and a portion of which he justified by referring to the state of Ireland, to the fact that parties were going thither from Liverpool to aid the traitorous project of repeal, and that O'Connell was boasting of his receipts from this town, and that the education question was merely used to advance the Romish superstition. He expatiated upon this topic at some length, and expressed his regret at finding some of the Wesleyan Methodist body deceived by the professions of liberalism. If elected, he should endeavour to represent, not a section of the ward, hut the ward itself, and the interests of the town. generally. Mr. Harbord also entered into many par ticulars regarding the sanatory regulations of the town, and the nature of the new law. He concluded amidst loud cheering and the Kentish fire. Mr. Councillor JONES moved the next resolution, pledging the meeting to the support of Mr. Harbord. Mr. THOMAS PARKER seconded the resolution, which was carried with acclamation. Mr. SHEPPARD being called for, after an eloquent eulogum upon the activity and tried principles of Mr. liar bard, as strewn in many contests in Toxteth-park, alluded to the subject of the dock accommodation, and said, if it could be tairly proved to the satisfaction of the Council, after mature and deliberate consideration, that the further contemplated dock accommodation could be more ad vantageously procured at the south end of the town, he was sure that the north end would not grudge this boon to the south. He further alluded to the widening of Park lane, from Liver-street towards the Custom-house, as most desirable for a thoroughfare to the south end. He then drew attention to the usefulness of Mr. Harbord if elected as a professional gentleman upon the health of the town committee, and also from his local knowledge would be a useful member on many other committees. and concluded by remarking that if elected he was sure he would prove a most efficient member of the Town Council. Mr. PEACOCK being called for, presented himself amidst loud cheering, and expressed the regret with which he had viewed the recent apathy which had existed in the ward on the subject of this contest. The conser vatives of St. Anne's in former elections had set a noble example to the rest of the town, and successfully vindi cated their conservative character ; and if the same spirit was shown now, the same success would he the result. It had been urged as an excuse for this apathy on the part of the conservatives that Mr. Hornby was a moderate man. He would test that moderation. Mr. Hornby was one of the town-council in days when whin-radicalism was in the ascendant there; and upon every question he went the whole hog with his party. In no one instance did he stand aloof; and could such a man be called " a moder ate man?" He defied any supporter of his, if he had any in that room, to point to one instance in which he had acted in the council as any other than a thick and thin partisan of whig-radicalism. The speaker concluded by saying, that in Mr. Harbord they had a thoroughgoing conservative, who would on every occasion stand by the cause of conservatism, which he had really at heart. After a vote of thanks to the chairman, a number of the most active conservatives of the ward came forward and took canuassing books, and the meeting then separated.
