' "We, therefore, with the most anxious desire to avert, as far as lies in our power, such great evils, but trusting at the same time to a better protection than haman wisdom can desire, do here by resolve to use out best exertions in our several stations to promote and encourage loyalty to the King, attachment to the' House of Lords, as one strong bulwark of the real liberties of the people, and an increasing desire to return to the Commons' House of Parliament men of Conservative Principles, men who will resist the rash innovations of theoretical statesmen, and, above all, will secure to the people of Great Britain and Ireland, undiminished and unimpaired, those means of instruction in the Protestant Religion which they now so freely possess."

ASTHMA, Shortness of Breath, Weazing Coughs, Colds, soreness, tightness, and opp r es s i on o f th e Chest; and most affections of the Chest and Lungs, relieved in en minutes, by taking one dose of WOODHOUSE'S • LSAM OF SPERMACETI OR PECTORAL COUGI I ROPS. Per sons doubting the efficacy of this Medicine, ay take a dose in the Proprietor's Shop before' they purcha- . The Proprietor earnestly recommends a trial of these Drop to persons afflicted with`the above complaints, but he does v . t in trodnce them as being an infallible cure (as many do) b Is warranted in assert ing their efficacy from the extensive relief afforded in numerous cases of the above description. Constitutional Coughs of three: four, and more years standing, have been cured in the course of a week by the use of these Drops. In the Hooping and Chin Coughs it will be found equally valuable, the virtues of Spermaceti having been known for centuries back, it will be needlesis to make a comment upon a Balsam obtained from so valuable an article. Two tea spoonfuls of the Balsam is equal to one ounce of Spermaceti—it will at all times relieve the most violent Consumptive Cough. In Bottles ls. lid., 2s. 9d., 4s. 6d., and 10s. 6d. each. ESSENCE OF CAMOMILE AND GINGER. This preparation is a compound of two of the most valuable medicines in the vegetable kingdom. It combines the stomachic properties of the Ginger with the aromatic and bitter qualiti e s of the • Camomile Flowers. The proprietor earnestly recom mends this essence to all those suffering as hereafter mentioned: ill he asks is a fair trial, for he can assert; with the greatest confidence, that he never knew of its failure in any of the cases it is recommended for, excepting where it has been neglected to be properly persevered in, for indigestion, sensation of fulness, pain and oppression after meals, loss of appetite, whether arising from excess or want of tone and energy of the digestive organs ; also for rheumatism, gout, spasms, cramps, hyster►cs, flatulence, in immoderate perspiration, nervous, hypochondriacal and bilious affections, heartburn languor, general debility, or a delicate state of health, whether the result of long illness, or constitutional weakness; it is certain in affording instant relief in the most violent sick headache. Forty drops of this Essence is eaual to half a pint of Camomile tea. These Preparations are prepared only by Da.crsms WOOD HOUSE, Operative Chemist Extraordinary to His Majesty, 18, King William-street, New London Bridge, and sold by him wholesale and retail; EVANS, SON and Co., 15, Fenwick-street; C. MAWHOOD, 20, South John-street, near the New Custom house; G. WHITLOW, Druggist, Mount-pleasant ; Ross and NIGHTINGALE, Chronicle-Office, Liverpool; and to be had of all medicine venders in town and country. Country venders may he supplied through their town agents. Sold in bottles at 2s. 9d., 4s. 6d., 10s. 6d., and 21s. each. BA RRISTERa—A legal servant of all work. One who some times makes his gown a cloak for browbeating and putting down a witness, who, out for .his protection, might occasionally knock down the barrister. Show me the conscientious coun sellor, who, refusing to hire out his talents that he may screen the guilty, overreach the innocent, defraud the orphan, or im poverish the widow, will scrupulously decline a brief, unless the cause of his client wear at l eas t a semblance of honesty and jnstice;--who will leave knaves and robbers to the merited in flictions of the Jaw, while he will cheerfully exert his etoquence and skill in redressing the wrongs of theiinjared. Show me such a'phcenix of a barrister, and 1 wilt admit that he richly deserves—not to have been at the bar! All briefless barristers please to consider themselves excepted (run the preViims censure, for I should be really sorry to speak ill 'Of any man without a cause."—Paul Chatlield. MORaY'S GRAVE.—It was rumoured in Paris that several persons had been arrested for depositing garlands upon the graves of Morey and Pepin, the accomplices of Fieschi ; the following, however, is the simple fact :—A female named Grou velle, who had shown strong political feelings, and by her im portunities obtained the clothes in which these tWo men were executed, in order to keep them as relics, entered the burying. ground and deposited on their graves several garlands orna mented with red ribands: On being desired by the keepers to withdraw, she asserted that, though she was not of their families, she was commissioned -by them to watch over their remains. The keepers persevered to ordering her away; the female re sisted, and at length was conducted before a commissary of police, who, after reproving her, ordered her to be released. The commissary of police, however, of the quarter, accompanied by three officers, came to her h ouse , an d demanded possession of the clothes of Pepin and Morey, which she stated that she had purchased from the persons to whom they had fallen as a perquisite, upon being authorised to do so b y the relatives of the deceased. A {complaint upon this m a tt er has been lodged by her with the procureur du mi.

The roue► was appropriately and taste fully decorated for the occasion with wreaths of flowers, forming the names of . Pitt, Wellington, Camden, Peel, &c. The chair was taken by the president of the club, A. J. K. Mackenzie, Esq., of Trinity College ; and A. Watson, Esq., of Corpus Christi College; the secretary officiated as vice-president. The various toasts were all indicative of the strong attachment of the company to those valuable and revered institutions which the collective wisdom of no one age could hare produced, and which bear such evident marks of the talent and caution of their framers. We need not say they were severally received with the most enthusiastic applause.--Cambridge Chronicle. Da. RITCHIE DEFEATED AT BA RIIHEA D.—Dr. Ritchie of the Potterrow, appeared in the neighbouring village of Barr head, on Wednesday night, for the purpose of wiping off the disgrace brought upon the voluntaryisurof that quarter through the recent defeat of Mr. Harvie of Calton, by Mr. Charles Leckie. After delivering his lecture, and challenging contra diction of his statements on the part of any one present, the Rev. Doctor encountered the same individual; who surpassed all his former efforts in the cause of establishments, and-fairly put the voluntary mountebank hors de combat. We understand that a full detail of the proceedings will be published intrnedi , ately. The discussion commenced at a quartet past eleven, and terminated•at two o'clock yesterday morn lug, amidst enthusi astic cheering for Mr. Leckie, and cries of "The church for ever !" A vote ofcensure on the doctor was only withheld in pure compassion, the victors not wishing to tarnish their laurels by triumphing over a fallen foe. It was impossible to pin the doctor for hallo. minute to any given point ; but in spite of all his efforts at .evasion, and they made his adherents blush, his opponent grappled with argument after argument, such as they were, and, to use a favourite expression of the doctor's, " took them by the lug and threw them at the back of the fire." We learn that the village was yesterday to be placarded wish "The church for ever !" " Voluntaryism the infidel's ally!" &c. The voluntaries are in " doleful dumps" about their second re pulse.—Glasgow Courier. SINGULAR SUPERSTITION.—One extraordinary sursti tious custom still remains among th e J ews at Algiers. When a man dies they believe that the devil stands in ambush before the house, in order to get possession of the corpse on its way to its last abode. As the rabbis, however, surround it all the way to the interment, his infernal majesty is cowed by their presence; but still he follows the procession in hopes of finding some favourable opportunity, or of slipping into the grave along with the defunct. When the body, therefore, is near the opened grave, the beareis suddenly retreat with it to a certain distance, and the rabbi attending them throws some pieces of gold as far as he can in different directions. The devil, who is by this time either in the grave or near it., is tempted by his avarice to go and pick up the money; and whilst he is thus employed, the corpse is hurried back to the tomb, and earth thrown over it. One day that I talked about this custom to a Moor, who has a bigoted hatred of the poor Israelites. I asked him if it was not unlike a jew to throw away his money ? " Ah, yes," said he " but it is-very lik e a j ew t o c h eat the devil.''—Camp bell's Letters in the New Munthly. MELANCHOLY Loss oe LIFE.—On Wednesday week the whole of the west country fishing boats from Buckie, Port ridckie, Portessie, and Cullen, besides a noinber from the smaller fishing towns along the coast, having put, to sea the day before, there suddenly overtaken by the violent storm, and scattered. A he gallant, seamen were seen from the shore vigorously braving the storm in their fragile barques, and endeavouring to gain the land ; but being overtaken . by the darkness of the night, were oblio - ed,,w . makii,for Cranially or kleratolule; anttflie 'Whole 'Or the are now, i t i s believed, a ccounted for, after enduring the greatest hardships and privations from cold, hunger, and fatigue. The boat from Cullen, however, it is our melancholy duty to relate, was totally lost in entering Croinartv, on what the seamen term the Three Kings at the L egs of -Cromarty. Eler crew, consisting of seven men, met a watery grave, all of whim, with the exception of one man, William Runcie, have left wives and numerous families to lament their loss. The names of the men who were lost are, William Findlay, George Hartley, Gardiner, George Hay, William Findlay, George Runcie, and William Muncie. REPORTED CONFESSION OF THREE MURDERS.—We have have been informed that an individual, who sometime ago acted in an inferior capacity at one of our inns here, and is now in a neighbouring town, imagines himself on his death-bed, and has confessed himself guilty of the atrocity of three separate mur ders. We have heard some of the particulars, but as the mat ter will undergo a judicial investigation, it would be premature to publish the confessions of a man who may be labouring under delirium.—Fifeshire Journal. HIGHEST MOUNTAINS IN TILE UNITED STATES.—In an article published .in the Raleigh Register, it is stated that the highest mountain in the United States is to be found in North Carolina. Mount Washington, in New Hampshire, has hitherto been accounted the highest mountain, its highest peak being 6234 feet above the level of the sea. According to the writer in the Register, the loftiest peak of the Black Mountain. in Yance county, is 6746 feet above the level of the sea. The Editor of the Register vouches for the respectability and science of the writer, and well remarks that the fact itself is not so as tonshing as that the discovery should not have been sooner made. "Hx LOVED Hsu." — The force of this first expression, of such au attachmerst.seems to have escaped notice. Isaac, from all that appears, was the only'one of the patriarchs who had no opportutijty exhibiting a preference to his wife b e f ore mar riage. He had never seen her till She stood unveiled in his tent as his wife. It seetned, therefore, necessary to add, that "Ite'lcived her" when he clicVeee her. It is remarkable; that what merely arose from circumstances in the case of Isaac, is now amply illuwated by the established practicei of the east. The women being completely secluded, and never seen with Out veils, no opportunity . of personal acquaintance, or even of in spection before marriage is afforded. The man sees his wife for the first time unveiled when he enters the room into which she has been received on her arrival at hii house Raving,' previously formed,no idea of her person and qualifications, but from the general and exaggerated praises of the old nurse,.wlio. is usually his agent, this is a critical, and anxious moment; and it is a most happy circumstance for both, 1-... en the account.of inch a transaction ca n conc l u d e w ith t h e emphatic words "hi toned her."'—Giciesio xxiv, 67. , . THE LIVERPOOL STANDARD. IDarlfainent. HOUSE OF LORDS, MONDAY. EDUCATION IN IRELAND.—The Bishop of EXETER gave no tice that he would on Tuesday, the 15th instant, move fora select committee to inquire into the operation of the present national system of education in Ireland. ORANGE LODGES. The Marquis of LONDONDERRY prefaced his motion on this subject by detailing at great length his connexion with Colonel Fairinan. Lord Melbourne had said, in an off-hand manner, that he, the Marquis, had not been attacked. But he had been attacked—violently and coarsely attaoked—and he had a right to defend himself? He was as ignorant of the existence of armed institutions or their proceedings as Lord Melbourne could be. At first he was disposed to take no notice 'of what such men as Mr.' Hume and Mr. O'Connell might think proper to say of him; but when he recollected the numbers who were deluued by those persons he could not be silent. After alluding to the two letters which he had received from Col. Fairman, and his own answers to them, the noble lord observed that to his know ledge he had never even seen Col. Fairman in the whole course of his life; he also complained of the variations and interpola tions in the published accounts of those letters, and named no less than twenty-two differences between them and the originals. Heareatedthe charge of wishing to alter the succession with Contempt, and asked the house what they could think of the man who, gettiug those private letters into his possession, could make use of them for. such a purpose? He believed that 'the attacks made upon noble lords on his side of the house was very much mixed up with the attacks or Mr. O'Connell upon all their lordships. He was sure that if Lord Melbourne could clear himself from aiding and abetting these attacks he would be very glad to do so. 'lf these attacks were not stopped they would lead to that sort of decided union in Ireland which, he believed in his conscience was necessary, or Ireland would be lost to the British crown. (Hear.) The noble lord had put down , orange lodges; would he—DARE HE use the power he possessed to put down radicalism? Let . him but say so, and 'it would give immense satisfaction. The noble lord concluded by moving that a message be sent to the House of Commons le questing a copy of the report on orange lodges. Lord MELBOURNE had no objection, as it was his wish to give the fullest information, to the production of the papers. After defending the Irish g overnment, and denying. on his own part, and on that of the Lord Lieutenant, any wish to fix a stigma upon the character of orangemen, he concluded by hoping that that debate would terminate the distressing and painful subject to which their attention• had been directed. At the close of a long dismissidn the motion was agreed to.— Adjourned. HOUSE OF COMMONS, MONDAY. A great number of petitions were presented to the house, among them one from the manufacturers of tobacco, coMplain ing of the excise regulations and restrictions with respect to that important article. IDtl'eisoNssENT FOR DEBT.—In answer to a question from Mr. Hawes, the Attorney-General said that a noble friend of his had intended to introduce a bill for abolishing imprison ment for debt, to the notice of the other house if he had not been prevented from doing so. He, hoped, however, that it would be brought forward in that house, as it wasa;leemed by the friends of that measure the most'advantageous course. If that course were not pursued he... Would again bring forward a bill in the House of Commons, for his - opinions were_. inure confirmed as to the justice and.expediency of the proposed alteration. MUNICIPAL couP.oltATloNs (titELANn) RILL. Lord Jour/ Russati., moved "the order of the day, that the house do then resolve itself into a committee on the•hill. Lord FRANCIS EcsatroN. then brought forward his motion for an instruction to thacounnittee. • He agreed with the gen tleman who had brought. forward this measure, thattahe ,corpo rations of Ireland had failed tot any good sedial purpose, wise r ther for original intention ~orflisual - adeptiohlo an d , - whatever might be his abstract reveirente for prescription or antiquity, he was prepared to relie've them from a burden - of weak and painful existence,. withoutoreferenee to the particular quarter from which their fall inightiiitheereti, or 'to the parties- who might follow them with . luinenhaiitnis tethe . grave, -he joiced iii removing those abodes ofnilegetiteitilosinnt*ahnsiel!and it was only when it was proposed teinrildairjoultitivtainsilitit he paused to question the necessity, audit() exam*nt , ttst Probable results of the re-constructing provisions of. the The right lion. gentleman had asked would the house, hating passed a muni cipal bill for England and Scotland, refuse one to Ireland on similar principles? .. His answer, if he could answer for the house, would be goyerned!hy a s delinition of their expression of similar principles. When iw t aS'sfiewn that the ends proposed by the bill could be obtained by,popular election in I•reland as well as in England he would agree to support it. He denied that in substituting abolition f a ir the restpration proposed, he withheld from Ireland the benefits which were intended to other parts of the empire. This was the sum and substance of an argument well calculated to dazzle by its specious lustre, to, at tract by its seductive generality, and to blind them to conse quences which, however, matters of detail required no microscope to detect. Those who boasted of a pride in their country and a love for the land that reared them would listen with distaste to what he had to say, but he should indeed be unfortunate in the choice of his expressions if they should discern in them any disposition to indulge, either as an Englishman or a pro testant, in any offensive assumption of superiority; but he should wander into another extreme of base, servile, and insin cere flattery, if he said there was nothing in the situation of that country, in the state of its society, which distinguished it from England and other nations, and which may, in special cases, make it an unfit recipient for institutions which are not in themselves essential to good governinents, and which are only valuable as the machinery for that purpose. If this were insult to Ireland, he could only say, believing it to be the truth, be conceived he should be insulting the good sense of Irishmen if he did suppress that conviction. When he saw in Ireland numbers arrayed against property, a minority, powerful in wealth and intelligence, vpposed to a majority . unpossessed of these materials, he sal a sad distinction -between Zogland and Ireland which bore diraptly on the question at issue—the mode by which they Afield regulate the administration of the law, and the protection of property of those who live under it. Af ter some other observations on the state of Ireland, Lord Fran cis said, "Is Ireland the country I have described, or is it not? If Ireland be not that country, if I as an English men miscon ceive its situation, and speak of evils which do not there exist, then I say to the gentlemen of that land who hear me, Your countrymen misrepresent you, tourists and professional opinions are unfaithful guides, your own daily press is not the mirror of things that are; there the reports of evidence before Irish, and Orange, and intimidation committees, are the creations of mere delusion, those who gave it'were falsifiers, and those who listen ed to it were dupes. If Ireland be not that country, the speech which we heard the other night, when this house rung with applause of the sentiments and language of the noble lord, was thrown away: the oil he then attempted to pour was wasted on a waveless surface. What was it which drew that applause from those who s , dtloni unite to praise or to condemn ? Was it not that this house, a,nd all parties in it, felt that the first duty h e could peilord,llli fairest prize he could win, was that ot, ap peasing the, PisOons ; that we felt that there were these passions to appease, th i ati there was a strife to terminate, and it was for this weldbe,' hint the ho nours o f v i c t o ry, b e C ause he claimed thent i 'WWWOtit the evidence of triumph ? In the (TO of the refOrfir ) )111' souse may have thought that there were reasons WhichlbAg i d its;e ld xte9Sitin to Ireland; but non e cou ld have failed to perceiVelliiitioolY n 'that extension must there have beets felt, even if i l4 SsarY; as an insult and an injury, and that hardly any N reasiniuld have been alleged against it whi c h would ,n . n i t, haar'O'kefie - all the length of desp o ti sm . ott had no choice s in that case between the perpetuation of all the abuses so called, whichAnii. 44 agreed to sweep into schedule A in England, and, a simitalt measure Of reconstruction ; for you could not, you never proposed to leave Ireland without a representation. toes that necessity existhere ? Is corporate j urisdiction any part of the essence of our constitution ? Does our elective magistracy rank with trial by jury, the tree and fair representation of the people, in parliament ? If it tie essential in theory or in practice, how has Manchester, how has Birmingham, pursued with their crowded populations the arts of industry ? Why should election be confined to those communities where its success and its con sequences more immediately rouses the elements of local strifes, and is adverse to the social charities ? Why does it not extend to the rural districts? And these considerations bring me to the subject of the Irish constabulary hill. What are the provi sions of that bill, and their object ? They deal with one of the most important objects connected with the peace of Ireland— the appointment as well as the regulation of an armed police of some 5000 men. That appointinent now resides with the gen tlemen of the country, the body of magistracy—a body whose interest in the peace of that society is undonbted, appointed by. the King's commission, watched by the chancellor. Do they leave this power of appointing the pollee in the hands of the body ? They remove it—to what ?--to a magistracy elected on. any popular principle, however restricted ? No ; they transfer that power to the Lord Lieutenant. In my opinion they do wisely, and that opinion with me is not new. I thought so in 1830. and I think so still. In 1830 I thought that it would he. advisable to transfer to the responsible representative of the King in Ireland, to one who was placed above the atmosphere of local partialities and influences, these appointments. It !soot for me to show that circumstances have arisen since that period not to justify my views, but to convert their opponents; but in the case of those who then opposed my views and those of my right hon. friend, I am boUnd to presume that .such circum stntice.s have arisen, fort do not attribute to my right hon. friends Opposite any.juvf na.ltry and mere p ar ty mot i ves i n t hi s 'natter. Lord riairciVregdilY gave his right hon. f r i en d cre dit f or some thing more staleintanlike in'his views than a mere paltry, party reference to the' f individuals in or out of power; but he had a right to infer that the state of Ireland was altered for the better since he was officially connected with its affairs, or that its con dition has assimilated to that of England - in those better , fea tures of order and tranquility; and when his friend joinaktha g, eneralizirig cry for identity of InStilntic his in all particulars, lie had a right to ask him if he was prepared to part With insti, tutions in Ireland, which in themselves illustrate the strong practical distinction existing between the two countries, The constabulary bill of this year is of its e lf a n answer to, the Oa monr raised for an identity of institutions. He did not .ask, " will you bear the same burdens—will you, on the part of Ire land, make the same contributions to the Exchequer ?" but he asked, " Will you abandon the assistant barristers' jurisdic tion ? Is there anything like that jurisdiction in England ? Is there a dissentient voice as to its value and its merit in Ireland ? That court is one of the instances which prove in itself the im possibility of applying identical institutions to the two countries. I'he law of England it administers, but there is nothing in practice more differing in the cases of England and Scotland than there is in this between England and Ireland ; and what are you about with the law? Are yon moulding it to the prac tice of England ? Are you gradually confining its operations? Are you compelling the assistant barrister tp empanel a jury where you now only give him a power to do it, which he rarely, ifever, exercises? If you are so employed, I believe you will create great dissatisfaction in Ireland? I believe you will have an insurrection of suitors, who prefer for the.settlernent Of their civil causes the fiat of a lawyer appointed by the crown to the verdict of their neighbours. But I am happy to think ytu are not. At this very moment an hon. and. learned member is re viewing a bill of last session to extend the operations of the sys tem, to make the administration of civil justice in Ir e la n d less like England, and, with this bill and that of the Irish con stituency staring me in the face, you tell me that the two coun tries must have, not equal justice, but the same institutions." (Cheers.) In introducing the details of the proposed altera tions to be made in the bill when in committee, the noble lord said, " It now only remains for me briefly to touch upon that branch of the subject, into the details of which this, perhaps, is not the time to enter ; but when I lay before the house a pro position which, if it succeed, would render nugatory the propo sitions of the government, it would hardly be respectful to them Or to the house to omit all statement of the mode in which those with whom I act would be disposed to supply the deficiencies we should then create. I confess I see none of the difficulties connected with this branch of the subject which so frequently attend legislative changes of extensive application. The classi fication of the various objects which have hitherto been sought or obtained by the institution of corporate government is a simple and ottvious. one. I exclude on this occasion the con sideration of the political and party purposes contemplated by theit Original framers, or those to which they have been since diverted.. Into the conflicting theories on these subjects I do not' :'slropnse to enter; it i 4 sufficient for me, without either pro,Vog the existt.ice of those purposes, or.entering into their jusfitkation ccademnation; to feel that thuse puipoies are ocaon)(er to be attained in favour of of patty, and ought not to be sought in - fervour of anothei. The real and natural objects of corporate government appear to me to be these :—The admi nistration of justice—the coutroul and direction of that police force, whatever it may be—to which the protection of the person and the property is confided; the administration of corporate property, and the regulation of those other not unimportant matters which concern the health, the comfort, and theconveni ence of the community, the lighting, the paving, the draining, &c. For the due regulation of these, it appears to me that the ex tinction of corporate authority will not create the smallest diffi culty. By the attainment of some, it appears to me that in Ireland that extinction will afford a favourable opportunity and• direct assistance. I propose too that those towns and cities, now counties, should remain counties of towns and cities; that they should, as now, have their sheriff, but that that sheriff should be appointed by the crown, as the county sheriff is at present. To that officer, so deriving his functions, the grand and petty juries will continue to be summoned. The other cities and towns will be subject to the jurisdiction of magi strates appointed by the crown, and under the county sheriff and_the ordinary judicial authorities. As to the corporate pt.& perty, it appears to my right hon. friend and myself, that, for the present, it would be expedient to vest it in a commission, to be appointed by the crown, to be considered as a temporary ar rangement, and with a view of appropriating, under the sanc tion of parliament, the corporate funds of each town possessing corporate property to its municipal purposes. The mention of this brauch of the subject brings under consideration one item of that property which I think well deserves a separate consi deration and special provisions. I allude to corporate tolls. I am not aware that the attention of the reformed parliament has been specifically called to that great subject, theleattires of which it is Unnecessary to Irish•inombers to particularize, but I would. implore those gentlemen from . England, who have no experience of.that systein, to give th e i r attention to the report ofone committee of inquiry, which-did not, I believe take evi dence, and, to the evidence which wa s t a k en by another, and I "think ihey; will agreecwith me, that no greater silbstaetial be_ t ne4t r aestict,be conferred,on any community in Ireland than .the removal of this exaction from its industry—than the stifling of this phiennialiource or personal violence', perjury, and violation of the law,? and also protect the person ,and secure the rights• of property. I believe that. this wretched mo d e o f exaction—one whielflYrChirdneted with decency, is not inconvenient of appli ssitionpava notopposed to the ficile interchange of the articles of - daily subsistence—has proved a sure source of the revenue I whit , l6:l6'iiiaccrue to corporate towns, and of which I am not 'aware it is proposed to deprive them under the present bill. I believe that resistance to those corporate tolls in every possi ble shape of violence and evasion has become habitual, and that party spirit has, as usual in Ireland, lent its adventitious aid in their case to the natural impatience of a confined, anomalous, and I may say impracticable systein of pecuniary imposition. I have not looked upon this subject as some for whom I have much - respect have frequently , looked up on it—i n th a t sepa rate point of view which confines itself to con s id e rations of religious difference. That danger to protestant institutions should he anticipated from any measure which opens new fields to'political agitation,l for one cannot hut anticipate and appre hend; but I know that religious seal maybe prone to aggravate those dangers. It is not essential to the realization of every evil which I dread, as contingent upon this measure, that party difference should either universally or generally take a sectarian turn. It is sufficient for my argument if the inquisition into political, and not into religious creeds should invariably assist the candidate for muncipal office, and protestant tests on the other. I have said nothing to arouse the excited fears, or exag gerate the apprehensions of Irish protestants; but if those fears -are excited, and if they can be soothed without a sacrifice, 1 am satisfied that his Majesty's government will not at least think that a reason for persevering in the measure which excites, or against adopting a course which may remove, them. There may be those, not in these walls I trust, who would see these fears with satisfaction, who would chafe on being checked in their progress to wli t at they conceive a triumph. Such I would implore to call up more generous feelings to, their aid, to consi der the condition of their country, to look beyond the gratifica tion of the moment, to reject the barren laurels of petty election triumphs, and seek for the better reward which attends the sacri fice of long cherished feelings of hatred and displeasure. To you who legislate I would say—for the peace of your coun try, for the stability of your empire, beware how you unneces sarily irritate the protestant mind of Ireland. You have interposed the resolutions of your parliament and the paternal advice of the Sovereign to exhort, to caution, to restrain. 'That call ,has been answered as it deserved and you had a right to expect; beware how you do that which may mar the best results of your efforts—beware lest indirectly by your present measures, by substituting a new exclusion for that you destroy, by giving a legal sanction to change, a perverted triumph to party, you make martyrs of those from whose hands you have struck the weapons of exclusion, and convert what you allege to have been an intolerant faction into a proscribed and persecuted sect. The noble lord, who was loudly cheered in the course of his speech, concluded by thanking the house for the patient attention with which they had listened to the observations he had felt it his duty to urge on the present occasion, and by moving that the committee on the bill for the regulation of municipal corpora tions in Ireland be empowered to make provisions for the aboli tion of such corporations, and for such arrangements as may be necessary on their abolition for securing the efficient and im partial administration, and the peace and good government of cities and towns in Ireland. (Cheers.) Sergeant Issseitoy, in seconding the motion, declared his inability to discover what the principle of the bill was. The inquisitors, or, if it were thou g ht more cour t eous , th e commis sioners, had visited 117 places. Of those 117 boroughs 67 had been selected and included in the measure of last year, and upon what. principle the remainder hail been excluded he had yet to learn; for it had not been stated why they should be left to wallow in all the abomination amid abuse which was stated to exist without any effort being made towards their purification and improvement. He begged to ask his learned friend, the Attorney-General for Ireland, upon what principle the 67 boroughs named in the bill of last year had. in the bill of the t o of show, impr ovem from e present y ea r, b een re d uce d to 51, for hitherto he had n o t ex . plained why th e 13 om i tte d b oroughs were thus disregarded in separate (Hear, consideration hear. !Sl ofr.

He apprehended that the great majority of electors, in the new boroughs, would be £5 householders, and it was superfluous to argue that this ma jority unquestionably would be of one religion—a religion op posed to the present exclusive possessors of corporate power. Coutd•the house, then, doubt, with all the soreness and bitter n4ss which had been created by the exclusive system, that they would create another equally exclusive in its nature, character, and effects? If the catholics were not now satisfied with the administration of justice by protestant possessors of corporate power. would the protestants be sati s fi e d w i t h its administration by an equally exclusive sect? If this bill were carried, Ireland would be studded with 5I rendezvous fur every species of agita tionOrhere edicts would be framed and sent. forth to the world WheineVei ,might be thouglit At to excite, agitation on any sill ect, ok,LiigAyst.Any ii,. i of property whatsOever.

He took a deep interest in this question, and he considered himself bound to proceed further in the matter. When , the answer of Mr. Villiers was produced he should call the attention of tbeirjorthihips-to the subject. Viscount MELBOURNE stated that every thing had been pro duced in the foreign office for which notice had been given. With respect to the removal of the twenty-seven prisoners, he had.onlv to observe that they had been removed for the sake of personal security, and in order that they might be kept free from those depredations which prevailed in the north of Spain. In the first place; these prisoners bad been removed from Santan clar to St. Sebastian, thence to Cadiz, and from Cadiz to Porto Bice, the ground of each removal being the security of the pri soners themselves._ The Marquis of LONDON DERRY still maintained that the re ply of Mr. Villiers was requisite, in order to see all the bearings of the case. WEST INDIA 'JUSTICE BILL—Lord GLENELG gave. notice that on Thursday he should move the second reading of the bill for the better administration of justice in the West Indies. Adjourned till Thursday. The Newcastle and North Shields railway bill was read a second time. KISH MUNICIPAL CORPORATI'ONS' BILL-ADJOURNED DEBATE, ----- Mr. S. O'BRIEN protested strongly against the amendment of Lord Francis Egerton, as calculated to produce the most fatal consequences to the peace of Ireland. He instanced the cases of Limerick and Ennis, to prove the mal-administration which exists under the present system, and claimed for the catholics of that country an equal participaiion with English men. in all the rights and privileges of the British constitution. Mr. RANDALL PLUNKETT spoke at some length. The divi sion on the present motion would, he feared, furnish occasion to the member for Dublin, on his return to Ireland, whither, he had no doubt, be would shortly be sent shorn of those honours which attended him on a former occasion, to light up bonfires from the Giant's Causeway to Cape Clear, as tokens of rejoic ing on the aproaching destruction of the municipal corpora tions of that country. The chief secretary for Ireland had said that there were Orangemen in that house, although there were po Ribandmen. He would reverse the position, and say that there were no Orangemen in the house, but there might be, for aught he knew, Ribandmen. (Order !) Mr. PLUNKET commented at some length on the charges brought by the municipal commissioners against the corporation of Drogheda and warned the house to proceed cautiously in a measure founded upon a report prepared iu a great haste and full of inaccuracies. Mr. W. V. STUART expressed; on the part of himself and his donstitn,ents; their gratitude to goverment for the measure; and instanced the great power of -M r. O'Connell as one of the eir• cumstances , which ought to• bring over the opponents of the Measure toltOupport, as it would have a tendency to counteract the.influence 'of an individual. •'' • r • 241% GALL? KNIGHT could not give. his assent to the bill LlD less some serious alteratiohs were made is it. The existing ferments, far from being calmed, would be increased by such a measure, which would - have the effect of erecting and. setting► fire to 120 political furnaces. He hoped the house knew how to deal with arguments of intimidation, Mr. MORGAN and JOHN O'CONNELL followed on the same side. Mr. TENNENT protested against the measure, as not only in jurious ao Ireland, but to British interests generally, by the effect it would have upon the elections. Mr. BARON said, that the only way to preserve the peace of Ireland was to pass the bill. Mr. CLAY deprecated the constant reference to Mr. O'Con nell's name on all questions connected with Ireland. He thought it would be more becoming in the house to act as if that gentleman had never existed. Sir JAMES GRAHAM in supporting the motion for an instruc tion to the cominittee, justified the allusion to O'Connell's 'name in that house. That learned member occupied so large a space in the eyes of the country—he was so intimately connected with the present state' of Ireland, and with its future government, that it was impossible frankly and impartially—and in no other manner was it consistent with the dignity of that house that a subject should be discussed—he would say it was impossible to deal with questions relating to Ireland, without adverting to the principles put forth, and the conduct adopted by the member for Dublin. He therefore claimed for himself the privilege of using his name and referring to his conduct, both as regarded what he had said and what lie had done. There existed a state of things in Ireland to be found in no other country in the world. History and eXperience afforded no light to guide legislation for Ireland; the : question. must therefore be dealt with in a statesmanlike manner, in ' order to meet the peculiar circum stances of the case,- Mr. Sergeant Woulfe had contended on the previous night; that the municipal bill having worked well in England, will work equally well in Ireland; on this point there was to be no deliberation. Now he (Sir James) must contend- that this position was one which was degrading th science of government, where . prudence, quick perceptie, sound judgment, decision in choosing between various difficul ties, and yourageaii adhering to a right choice, when made were alike re.quireth,—(cheers from the ministerial benches)—aud he would add, in answer to that cheer, the magnanimity to recede from a partictilaicourse, when the adoption of that course must be fatal. Because the poor law bill had succeeded in England, he would ask the Chancellor of the' Exchequer whether it fol lowed that the same - system was applicable to Ireland ? He used this argumentin illustration of the point for which he con tended; and he called .upon his Majesty's government to be consistent, at least in the doctrine, that because in one case a certain line of action. might be good, it must be good in another, without reference to circumstances. This was the doctrine of those 'who, in medicine, were styled empirics ; in politics it was the doctrine of quacks and impostors. Sir James concluded a very long and powerful speech, of which we have not space for even an outline, 'as follows :—The hon. and learned member for Tipperary, the other evening, in a speech of great.. eloquence and much splendour, had, as usual, terminated his address with that pointed remark, " Re member, we are seven millions, and this measure must and shall be carried:" That had ;;rated -somewhat harshly on hi s (Sir J. Graham's) ea - es—it had sounded like a prelude to that which he most deprecated. He should be sorry to meet me. trance by menance• ' yet it must be remembered that th e pro testints, not only of England and Scotland, but of Ireland also, had recently strengthened their position; that, in compliance with the desire of the house, and, in obedience to the will of his Majesty, they had laid aside their secret symbols, their signs, their empty pageantry, and their exclusive societies; that they stood a united body, firmly determined manfully to defend the protestant establishment as by law fixed in these countries, and, as he confessed to him, by a higher sanction. " But, sir," continued the right hon. baronet, " I will not, I have said, repel that threat of force by a similar threat. I will not look forward to the history of the future. I will rather refer to the history of the past. I will ask, whether it can be forgotten that in the first dawn of the reformation, under the wise government of Elizabeth, we rescued even protestant strangers from the tyranny of Alva, from the cruelty of Don John of Austria, and from the yoke of the Spanish power—that we assisted in laying the foundation of a small but flourishing Commonwealth, the offspring of industry and freedom, and of the first triumph of the House of Ness - au under Catholic bigotry? Must it be forgotten that we braved the power of Spain, and risked the safety of the British Isles in defence of the Huguenots of France'' We were then a small divided people, we are now a mighty nation; it was then our glory that we were the defenders and support of the protestants throughout Europe, and shall it be said in these later days, that we, whom France could not vanquish, whom Spain could not overcome, shall quail before catholic agitation, and surrender our protestant brethren in Ire land=-(loud cheers which continued for some minutes) to the fury of demagogues, the vengeance of priests, or the madness of the people? I contend, sir, that it behoves us to act a bolder and' nobler part. Let us secure to all-classes of his Majesty's subjects, without distinction of sect or grade, equal justice, perfect freedom of representative government, and full enjoyment and secnrity of life and property, under equal laws, firmly administered and impartially executed. But I say, let us do anything rather than submit to the lawless spirit of catho lic agitation. In my conscience, I believe that this bill, as ten dered by his Majesty's gevernment, is neither more nor less than an unconditional surrender. I consider the proposal of my right hon. friend to be a fair compromise on just and equal terms, and on these grounds I give it my cordial and unhesi tating support."—(The right hon. baronet sat down amid loud cheers, which continued for some time.) Mr. O'CONNELL resisted the motion, as an unjust attack on the institutions of Ireland, which by the bill would be purified and rendered efficient for the service of the country. - The hon. and learned member concluded a speech of considerable length and power, with the following appeal:—" What ! were they Statesmen ? and, if so, must they not be convinced that the great question now, was, that Ireland was a most important p art of the British empire. He stood there as the representative of three of the provinces of Ireland, and was ready to declare that he flung the repeal to the winds, if justice were done to his country. The terms he proposed were perpetual co-opera tion for every work of good, and perpetual brotherhood for equal rights and privileges. Deny him these terms, and then he,wuuld say that the union between both countries was as nothing." Lord STANLEY replied to Mr. O'Connell with his usual elo quence, and challenged the hon. and learned gentlemen to pro duce his credentials as plenipotentiary on the present occasion. He maintained that the cases of England and Ireland, as re garded the state of the people, were not analogous; and that therefore what might be in some degree conservative in one country would .be of fatal tendency in the other. Lord J. RUSSELL resisted the motion, contending that to increase the it would be to express distrust o f I re l an d, an d t o the evil that they ,would :avert.; and that. theuffections of the people could not be so well secured as by giving them a share in the . manag,ement'Of their own affairs, and by extending to them equal laws as far as circumstances would admit. .. Sir R. PEEL supported the motion for an instruction to the committee, 'declaring that the question in some degree pre sented itself as ,a:.ehoice, of evils,,andAhat at he saw.nothing in granting the bill link what was calcala d te i increasn:, the influ ence of Mr. O'Ciiririell; now fat fob' ' eat in Ireland, he pre- T r f . eryplAaking his. stand here, i ns t ea d, df.ifaiting till his power Was increased by the means that woold.kailae,,e4.l9,,bis party's hands by the carrying of the bill.' - ABM (tie arguments with which the government had supported the bill;:they were of the most contradictory character. At four o'clock the house divided. The numbers Were—for the motion, 243; against, 307 ; majority, 64. • The motion being thus disposed of— Lord JOHN RUSSELL said, after two nights of late debate, i would be more convenient to adjourn the house till 'Thursday and accordingly moved that the house, at its rising, adjourn til that day. • In answer to a question from Sir R. PEEL, Lord JOHN RUSSELL said it was his intention to move the committal of the dissenters' marriage bill on Monday next, Adjourned till Thursday. Below the bar of the house was excessively crowded last night and continued so till the division. Many peers were present Among those below the bar was Lord A. Fitzclarence. THE ANGLO-SPANISH AUXILIARY LEGION. The town of Liverpool has been, and we believe still con tinues, placarded with an address, inviting " young men of spirit" to join the British legion now serving in Spain. The inducements held out are a trifling bounty and a " free kitt" on embarkation, and some other advantages to be gained in the fields of glory ; for these rewards they must submit " to be shot at, for sixpence a-day." or something less. To those who, from a truant disposition or other causes, may be disposed t o en gage in this enterprise, we recommend an attentive perusal of the subjoined police report, which we have extracted from the Obsereer, a London weekly radical paper, for their especial use and instruction. If any respectable young-men should be disposed to join the legion, we recommend them, before they do so, to read the speech of Sir John Elley, in the House of Commons. The thieves and vagabonds of this country who h ave en li ste d or ma y enlist under the standard o f General. Evans are well got rid of on-any terms or for any purpose. "THAMES OFFICE, SATURDAY.—T HE BRITISH AUXILIARY LEGION.—On Mr. Broderip taking. his seat he stated to the chief clerk that on his way to the office his attention was called to a number of individuals seated in a group on the ; , avement, surrounded by a mob of persons, and on inquiry lie found they were a part of the British Auxiliary Legion in the service of the Queen of Spain, who had been sent home incapable of service. The situation of the ..nnegoli.ParPd to bry--the Most dreadful hUmarrity'etruld suffer; many of them had shots in their legs, and the whole of them appeared to be suffering from illness and starvation. Their persons were very dirty, their clothing most scant and miserable, hod they were covered with vermin. Their sufferings and extreme destitute .situation' required Some attention, and he had told the police of the 11. division to bring the wretched creatnteS'ilown to the' office, in order that some thing might be done with them: In the course of the afternoon, Ellis, a Thames Thee - officer, announced to Mr. Clarkson, Mr. Brodrip having just left, that 'ten of the unfortunate men had arrived, and brought them into the office. • Their appearance excited g reat commis era ti on, an d it 'was found necessary to open the windows of the office, and to perfume it. Their names were stated to be—John Rooks, Dennis Sullivan, Michael Lay, Daniel Gilsou, Felix Valet, Henry Hunt, David Anderson, John Strong, Patrick M'Galloway, James Methay, (of Glas gow,) and Thomas Smith. Sullivan stated that they had been six months iu the service of the Queen of Spain, and had been enlisted in this country. About a month ago they were placed in the hospital at Saniandar, most of them suffering from in flammations and wounds. They were laid on the bare boards, with only one rug between two men to cover them. On Tues day week they were removed on board the sloop Colonel Evans, to be sent to England, previous to which a part of their clothes and their shirts were taken from their backs to be given to the healthy troops marching up the country. He had been suffer ing from inflamation of the lungs, and two blisters had been placed on his chest, which were removed when he was about to be taken on board the sloop. He begged of them to allow the shirt to remain on his back, but they tore it off, nor could he get any linen to cover the raw flesh which had been blistered. They were nine days on their passage, and the whole number of invalids on board amounted to fifty-two, some of whom were put and carried ashore at Barking, and the rest in other places on each side of the river. They were given 6s. each on landing, and they, knew not to whom to apply for the rest of their wages, amounting to £7 each. They had not received a farthing of wages while in Spain, and they were now in London quite destitute, in a bad state of health, with no friends, all of them having engaged in the service in different parts of England, Ireland, aneScotland. " Some of the men exclaimed— Worship, and shall die in the streets.' ' We are all starving, your " Mr. Clarkson said the men were evidently very ill, and in a most distr esse d con diti on , b ut h e was at a l oss to know what to do with them. They had better apply to the parish-officersof the district in which they last slept. He then ordered that they should be relieved with a shilling each from the office poor box. The magistr tte adde I that the men had been very hardly treat el, but he was not sure but it might have been 'their own faults - , -they might have neglected their duty.—The men declared ,that they had perforrred !heir duty in a proper way ; they were Jumble, by sickness and wounds, to perform it longer. They then withdrew, complaining bitterly of the privations they had endured. rt 4 A CF4 t T - Ar76W130=44/ , ' , THEATRE ROYAL, LIVERPOOL. rill-1E Public is respectfully informed that the S eason w ill commence on MONDAY next, March 14th, and that arrangements have been made with A.

We have received Canton Registers and Prices Car. rent to the very late . date of the 4th November. They do not possess any interest. The following extract may concern those who know the meaning of it : " We regret to inform the foreign community that Ilopun; the linguist of the British ship Fort William last veer, is about to proceed on his way to his dreary banishment to the 'cold country.' We should be glad to arouse the sympathi es of all foreigners, foreigners, but m ore particularly of Britons, in favour of this unfortunate victim to a tyrannical and lying government. Ile is pauper et exul; he has a wife and children, from whom he is torn, and their hopes that they will ever again meet are the weakest. The hong merchants and linguists, in their indivi dual and collective capacities, have made a purse for the sorrow ful and far-distant way-farer; and we hope this appeal" will in duce the foreign community of Canton to unite in aiding one who has been dragged into undeserved calamities, and punish ment through his official connection with them."' By what we subjoin it would appear that some of the priests of Canton are nearly as great rogues as some of the Roman Catholic priests of Ireland : "9th Al oon, 2d day.—Oct. 23d.—To-day a Budhist priest was executed. Ths crime was that he kept a nest for thieves, whom he sent rot th to rob. Ile was a native of S'huoukiny fun, and hail dwelt in the Budhist temple outside the east gate, whet e was his nest of thieve s , for many years, without laving diseove►ed. But the moth)-changers' shops near the east gate having been plun dered, the military, in their pursuit of the robbers, arrived at the temple, and aiscovered that this priest of Budh was the keeper of a fence." Dernarara papers to the 7th February reached us yes terday. We find in thorn the speech of the Lieutenant.. Governor, Sir JAMES CARMICHAEL SMITH, at the open ing' of the Court of Policy yin the'26th of January, and the answer of the Court after taking that speech into nnsicieration. Both these documents are curious, as showing an extraordinary difference of opinion between. the Governor and the governed—Opinions so diametri cally opposed to each other, that it is difficult to imagine that the respective parties can be speaking of the same colony,. or alluding to the same events passing atelv under their personal:observation. The Governor commences his speech with congratu lating the •Court upon the flourishing condition of the colony —upon the happy, tranquil, and industrious state of its labouring population —upon the additional quantity of produce manufactured as compared with years of slavery —upon the improvements every where in pro gress —upon the absence of crime and the paucity of punishments—and upon the general prosperity of a settlement where all interests are equally thriving. He indulges in similar flourishes as to the triumphant suc cess of the emancipation bill—the improved, moral, and religious state of the negroes, as evidenced by thein crease or marriages among them ; indeed, so highly coloured is the Lieutenant-Governor's picture of the peace, happiness, and prosperity enjoyed by his subjects, that, had we not in the very same paper now lying before us a sketch of the same scene by the Court of Policy, we really should have concluded that Demarara is an earthly paradise, inhabited chiefly by a race of black angels. Turd we now to the answers to the Governor's speech, from which we take the subjoined extracts: " We should have been readily disposed, most thankfully, to acknowledge the expression conveyed in your excellency's speech of the great pleasure afforded you by the almost unex ampled prosperity and improvement which your excellency has desct'ibed as attaching, at the present period, to all the interests and relations of this colony—commercial, social, and religious if, in the realities which surronnd-us, we could discern the fide lity and accuracy of many of the principal features of the glow ing picture of our situation and prospects which your excellency has been pleased, on this occasion; to delineate in such vivid colours. Acting, however., in the spirit of those obligations which your excellency has ascribed to the judicious legislator, it is incumbent on us to discriminate carefully between what is adventitious and what is permanent—between specious appear ances and solid realities—between the results flowing from natural causes, or influenced by accidental circumstances, and the inevitable tendencies of administrative regulations, 'and of a peculiar Systsin of government; and, thence, it becomes our painful but imperative•duty to qualify the erroneous_ impressions - cottveye . d by some, end intertiJO'deny the correctness of oth er of these representationS which have, on this occasion,'been laid before us. " All concerned in this dependency of the empire are hound to join in humble thankfulness to Divine Providence for having blessed us with, and still continuing to bestow on us, a season most unusually mild, genial, and favourable for ensuring the growth and maturity of those staple productions, the effects of which providential beneficence have served to compensate for many evils inflicted on us by the hand of man, which we ought to have escaped, and which had a tendency at once to impair the'sources of our agricultural prosperity, and to mar the most rational prospects of the social improvement of all descriptions of our population. " The sudden and unexpected prorogation, by your excellen cy, of the last session of .the court, besides leaving much other important and urgent public business undisposed of, prevected the issuing of the annual ordinance requiring the customary re turns of produce to be given in, as invariably done for the quarter of a century past; and we are, consequently, thus de prived of the accustomed authentic materials for making an ac 7 curate comparison between the results of last crop and those of former years. " We know, however, that the production of sugar has not fallen off. The crop taken off in 133 , 1 was materially curtailed by the effects of the unhappy disturbances which occurred im mediately after the Ist of August of that year. The portion thus left over considerably enhanced the actual production of last year. " The Custom-house returns of the port of Demerara will show that, if the last year's export of sugar, thus accidentally increas ed, has exceeded by nearly six per cent. the average exports of the last five years, there will appear, on a comparison of the like average in regard to coffee, a falling off of thirty per cent.— the fact being that there has been a regular transfer of labour from the one cultivation to the other, and that we have now ar rived at the period when the concentration of almost the entire agricultural industry of the colony, in the production of sugar, has begun to take effect, in increasing that produce, or, rather, counteracting the causes which tend to diminish it." " It gratifies us to have your excellency's assurance of the happiness and the generally tranquil state of the labouring po pulation ;—results to which the anxious efforts of their em, ployers, prompted, if even all higher motives were supposed, to be absent, by the strongest inducements of self interest, have essentially contributed. But the tranquillity and industrious • disposition s to which your excellency has alluded, have not been without serious, obstinate, and perplexing exceptions, admitting, indeed, of having been easily corroded and' reme died by prompt and judicious measures, but 'calculated, from the - manner in which they have been met and treated, to create anxious misgivings as to our future prospects, when the exainple of those inadequately repressed disorders, have produced their natural effect in deranging what has hitherto remained com paratively tranquil and prosperous."
