rbr Etberpool &tanbarb. TUESDAY MORNING, A UG. 5, 1845. Another destructive fire, following closely upon the recent calamity which desolated the city of Quebec, and converted one-third of its thriving inhabitants into houseless wanderers, has just visited that unfortunate locality. The bulk of the city is now a mass of ruins ; its commerce sus pended, and another third of its population seeking only where to find themselves a temporary shelter, and with what means to pro ide, from day to day, the means of allaying the wanti of life. Not less than 19,000 persons, it is estimated, are direct sufferers by this last calamity ; and when it is borne in mind how many of these may have recently been extending the hand of charity to those which the previous one dispossessed of home and comfort—in how many of its lately fertile sources the stream of beneficence may now have been dried up—the appeal to the sympathy of every Englishman, especially, which the case of these our suffering fellow-countrymen presents, is one which requires to be promptly respo ded to. There can be no delay here—no apathy. Not a mail should leave our shores for Canada without bearing its quota of relief. We are glad to see that the legislature itself has come forward at once with a vote of £20,000, for the relief of the inhabitants. This contribution, however, is but as a drop of water to allay the thirst of thousands. Private liberality must be largely called upon, if any thing effectual is to be achieved. As a people the Canadians have claims upon us. They are sprung from our blood. They speak our language. They have gone out into the wilds as settlers or as traders, to better, along with their own, the condition of every British man whom they left behind them ; and when such a calamity as this lays its desolating hand upon a city, which has grown up beneath their industry, and sweeps away the fruits of years of patient striving, we are bound, out of our affluence, to aid in restoring what years may not enable any efforts of their own to restore. Especially it is the duty of Liverpool to extend a friendly hand in this labour. Liverpool has been largely benefitted by the commerce of Canada; she has been raised to her present position by her ad vantages, as the port of communication with the Western World ; and by every moral tie, she is called upon now to pay her debt. It is a just one. We trust that w e s h a ll not b e f oun d b ac k war d in such an e ff ort—th a t th e aut h or i t i es o f t h e town will at once rally round th em it s wea lth and its enterprise, and take steps to raise a contribution worthy of us. We are sure that our merchants directly connected with Quebec will not be behind the owners of traders in London, who have nobly offered to carry out building materials, hardware, clothing, bedding, &c., free of freight. And if such be their liberality, many of whom must be extensive sufferers themselves by this calamity, we are con fident that those merchants of Liverpool, who are reaping large harvest' in other and more fortunate markets, will not withhold their aid—will not do less than our Canadian merchants. Meantime let it be remembered that this claim upon our sympathy is one which must be promptly answered. The genial season of the year is rapidly passing by; and our poor houseless fellow-countrymen must not be left to encounter in their present state the rigours of a transatlantic winter. Do the most for them we can, their case must be hard enough. A city cannot be built in a day. The comforts of a substantial home cannot be restored at once—and how many will never see them again I At least let us strive to afford them materials for shelter from the elements. Although we cannot do all, let us do our best. the approaching grand Orange demonstration, to be held at Enniskillen, on the 12th inst., signi ficant enough in itself of the resolve of the protes tants of Ireland to meet treasonable agitation with defensive agitation, is not an isolated or even a hastily concerted movement. It is accompanied with evidences, which ought to attract the earnest attention of Covernment, of the determination of the friends of the constitution and of the British connexion in that country, to prepare thiemselves, by organization, to repel coming assaults upon their liberties, and, when the crisis comes, to battle for their lives against the enfuriated efforts of those who seek their extermination. Already the entire province of Ulster—nay, the whole north of Ireland— is alive with preparations, for clic revival, in its full efficacy, of the Orange Institution. And this not at the instance of the operative portion of the people merely, or of the trading middle classes. Men of standing and of character in the country are taking a prominent position in the movement. Members of the clergy, barristers, and the leading gentry, are amongst those who urge it forward ; and a few weeks hence Ireland will probably witness the re erection within her soil of that great national con federacy which was strong enough to protect her Protestant Institutions, in past days of difficulty and danger, and will Abe found, we trust, equally strong in the present day. Who can say that our fellow Protestants in Ire land are wrong in this course ? Who will not at once accord their approbation to the gentry and clergy who are now boldly coming forward to place themselves in the van of resistance to aggression— to take their stand, side by side, with their poor persecuted brethren, in the struggle with which they are menaced ? The Protestant gentry of Ireland have too long submitted to be shot at from behind hedges, or in their dwellings, by cowardly assassins. They hays too long hung back from the duties of their station—those of affording pro tection and countenance to their tenants and humble dependants from the violence with which they have been attacked —too long withheld their protection from the wrecked cottages of their dependants, or the lives of their tenants, menaced at fair or at station, by the truculent associates of the Molly Maguire, or the Ribbon Conspiracy. This state of things must he stopped. And how is it to be stopped? Why only by such a union as the Orange body offers—only by a resolve that Protestants— and every Orangeman is no more than a Protestant, unless to be a good Protestant is not to be a Pro testant—will carry out with their arms what they profess with their lips. Only by means of such an association can Protestants hold their lives in security. Men may cavil about a name, but the object and the result ought to resolve all doubts. Clear it is that the law—as administered by Sir Robert Peel—will not protect the Protestants of Ireland from aggression ; or from interference with those liberties which the law recognises as the birth-right of every British subject. The urgency of the present crisis then solves all doubts which might otherwise exist, as to the extent to which we might forbear, in our protestation against the spirit of - concession which now animates our legislators. We cannot stand still in our Protestant osposition to the injudicious designs of Popery. We must progress or we must stay until the march of Popery rolls over us. " Ptincipiis Insra" ought to be our motto; we may forbear until forbearance is our ruin. It is a melancholy spectacle to see men, who have been left behind in the progress of human affairs, or in the race of ambition, ever struggling to be what they never can he—ever raring against those who have outstripped them—instead of calmly resigning themselves to the necessity of their position. Yet how many of these unfortunates do we observe, day by day, in every rank and in every pursuit of life ! Lord Brougham, in his place in the House of Lords, upon his favourite railway hobby—his pet monomania—is such a man. The locomotive and the train, viaducts and tunnels, cuttings and embankments, have gone a-head, in spite of the fears and the prophecies of timid old gentlemen and elderly ladies ; and at this late time of day his lordship is pertinaciously bent upon catching the express with a donkey -cart, or bringing back the good old times of the " heavy coach in six days from York to London." Such men in our local matters are our Blackburn:=, and other worthies of their party. Municipal Whiggery is extinct. It was tried in our Town Council and its Committees, and rejected as presuming and incapable. Yet these few stranded fish left by the waves, which Lave swept over their race, still amuse us, from time to time, with their ineffectual contortions, as i to show the world that, though they cannot over take the waters, they can make puddles on the sand. They were too small to mingle with their compa nions in the deeps; they are perseveringly large and intrusive amongst the minnows and gudgeons which haunt the shallows. An extraordinary specimen of this tribe is to be found in the Dock Committee, in the person of Mr. Eyre Evans. A few years ago, in the heyday of liberal supremacy, Mr. Evans was the Magnus Apollo of this body. He was the terror of dock- masters—the observed of contractors and surveyors. But the mighty has fallen from his seat. A new dynasty, more potent to wield the vast interests consigned to the management of our dock affairs, has risen ; and the ex-Alderman can only fidge In his chair, and indulge himself in carping at their measures. Like " The one red leaf the last of its clan, That dances as oft as dance it can, Hanging so light and hanging so high On the topmost twig that looks up at the sky," this once-despotic member of the Committee can now only flutter his unheeded plumes occasionally upon the eminence where he sits—the last, or the penultimate of his fallen dynasty. That, in general, the effusions of the ex-alderman are harmless we admit. It is not, however, because they are devoid of splenetic feeling towards his bro ther members of the committee—not because he would not wound, but because his efforts to intro duce discord are effectually repressed by the deter mined firmness of the Chairman of the body, Mr. Bramley-Moore, and the majority of his Conserva tive supporters. Occasionally, however, in the ab sence of the former gentlemen, and when the check is removed which restrains him, some as tounding mare's nest is discovered, or invented, and an overflow of accumulated bile is the resu.t, which drowns the note books of the repbrters, and sets the whole Whig press in extasy, with the belief that the shadow has passed away from before the eyes of their chosen champion. Such a case occurred a fortnight ago, when, in reply to a question put at the Board, it transpired that Mr. Bramley-Moore and the surveyor were in London on important busi ness. Mr. Evans and Mr. Aikin, his second on these occasions, took the opportunity to introduce a cavil, and to impeach the authority of the chairman, or the surveyor, to go to London at all on business of the Trust, without the sanction of the General Committee, and to impute a charge of stretch of his authority against the former gentleman. The cir cumstance of which he complained was satisfacto rily explained at the time, by Mr. Nicol, the deputy chairman ; but Mr. Evans, still reiterated his charge of stretch of authority on Mr. Bramley-Moore's part, and implied want of deference to the commit tee, of which he is the valuable and able head. The Chairman at the next meeting of the com mittee, and only then when the charge against him was brought before his notice by a member, and reply was unavoidable, explained the circumstances under which he had gone to London, and commented with warmth, but no more than natural and proper warmth, upon the uncourteous way in which he had been charged in his absence. To this speech Mr. Evans replied in a letter addressed to Mr. Bramley- Moore, and certainly as unwarrantable a letter as could be penned by a gentleman, not anxious to promote a retort of a less peaceable character than one of more words. Mr . Bramley-Moore was in this letter charged with indulging in personalities— " impertinent in the vulgar sense of the word"— and told that "it is more than probable :that the presence of Mr. Aikin and Mr. Evans," at the meeting in which the Chairman's speech was made, " would have much modified, if not prevented this unseemly diatribe." What, in the ordinary mean ing of words, is this but an imputation of personal fear on the part of Mr. Bramley-Moore, of the prowess of his redoubtable and irascible opponent ? It is as plain, a " you dursn't have said so in my presence," as could be uttered ; and the gentleman to whom such ;unseemly language was addressed was quite justified in returning the irritating com munication as unworthy of his notice. Perfectly correct, in our opinion, was the com mittee at its last meting, in refusing to hear the ex alderman further on a subject, upon which he had shewn that, even in a written communication, he could not speak without violating the courtesies usually observed amongst gentlemen. An indi vidnal whose wrath could not keep cool for a week, without the necessity of a previous printed ebul lition, ought not to be indulged with the opportunity of giving it a second viva voce vent, and interrupt ing the proceedings of a committee met for import ant business matters, with a further exhibition of his uncontrollable temper. We can assure Mr. Evans that he does not ad vance his position in the estimation of his political opponents, or even of the reflecting portion of his own friends, by the assumptions, which he is in the habit of making, of the furioso style of conducting himself. The public does not, in the present day, favour attempts to browbeat those with whom we happen tod iffier :in opinion. Men disposed, like himself, andso incapable of governing their un ruly dispositions, are very fast beginning to be regarded by rational people as not fit to he entrusted with the management of affairs of weight, requiring deliberation and coolness, and certain not to be ad vanced by contentious and irascible habits of con ducting themselves towards their fellowmen. We see, in such ebullitions of splenetic feeling as that in which he has just indulged himself towards Mr. Brantley Moore, more of the bitter consciousness of his fall in public esteem for his presumed talents and prudence than of that calm consciousness of real ability which is usually displayed by those who are satisfied that their temporary position is not their just one, 'and who rely on the returning good sense of the public—seldom permanently wanting— for a more correct appreciation of their merits. We have frequently had occasion to speak of the praiseworthy effort now making through the agency of the Rev. J. R. Connor, to provide increaßed religious accommodation for the :district of St. Simons—a district requiring such accommodation. not only from its present deficiency of church sittings, as compared with the population of the district, but also from the vast amount of vice which it comprises. We are happy to observe that the appeals which have been made through our columns, and by o'ber sources, in favour of this good work, have drawn the attention of one so worthy of having his efforts in behalf of any good work imitated by his fellow-townsmen, as is the effort which we have to announce in favour of this work on the part of the worthy and Rev. Junior Rector of Liverpool. Whilst appealing to our friends in behalf of an extension of church accom modation in this district, we cannot do better than quote the junior rector's letter, addressed to the Rev. Mr. Connor. " July 25, 1815. "MY DEAR Sta,—As I perceive that you want £560 to complete the £3,000 required for your church, I have great pleasure in promising you £lOO, provided the whole sum is subscribed, not merely as a proof of my anxiety to promote so pod a work, but in testimony of the grate ful sense which I entertain of your untiring energy and unobtrusive zeal in discharging the most sacred of our nftnisterial obligations—the preaching of the gospel to the poor. "Yours, very sincerely, "AUGUSTUS CAMPBELL." We trust that an intimation, so Christianlike in its spirit, will be followed up by our wealthy towns ' men. Let any one of them call upon the reverend gentleman, whose labours in the district are now so exemplary, and he will learn that his bread cannot be thrown upon the waters with greater certainty that it will yield an increase, than in an endeavour to carry out the effort now making by the worthy in cumbent of St. Simon's. It will not require a very large sum to complete the work required ; but we hope the public will enable Mr. Connor to accom plish much more of good than he anticipates. ------- THE LATE FIRES AT QUEBEC.—It is with pleasure we refer our readers to an advertisement in our paper of to day, appealing (andwe feel that it will not be in vain.) to the generosity of the public of Liverpool, to aid the sufferers of Quebec, not with any pecuniary assistance, for a subscription is already going on rapidly, but with such articles of clothing as may b:! comparatively useless to many in England, but which would tend to protect 'a portion of the destitute population from the severities of a climate, the winters of which can only be truly estimated by those who have experienced their intensity. The whole of the clothing collected will be sent out free of freight. We notice this subject at length in another column. VEATII FROM DROWNING.—Ye s t er d ay, an inqnest was held before the borough coroner on view of the body of George Grant. On Saturday morning, a labourer, who was grappling at the Brunswick Dock for a pair of dog_ irons that had fallen in, brought up the body of &e de ceased. The carpenter of the ship Mary White said he knew deceased, who was 28 years old. On Friday morn inz, he and deceased were on board the vessel named. Deceased. who was second mate, was very much in liquor. The vessel had arrived the night before from New South Wales, and the hand, had got some drink, and began to rip up old grievances" they had had with deceased on the voyage. Deceased left the vessel to fetch the police, and was seen to land safely, but was not afterwards seen alive by his shipmates, who, it appeared were all on board except the cook and steward, who had had no quarrel. In the absence of all further evidence, the jury returned a verdict of " Found drowned." THE PRESS AND THE BAR. The bar bars the press from its travelling mass, The press from the press bars the bar ; Which shall first be in need, the wiled or unfee'd— Those who are not in case, or who are? THE LIVER MARINERS' CHURCH SUNDAY SCHOOL. A meeting of the members of the Mariners' Church was held last night, when a beautiful silver sugar-basin, cream-jug, spoons, and sugar-tongs, were presented to Mr. John. Thompson; by the teachers and friends of the Mariners' Church Sunday School, as a token of their sincere affection. _ . The Rev. W. MAYNARD occupied the chair, and spoke at some length on the length of time Mr. Thompson had laboured in connection with the various associations at tached to the church and school, and the regret which they all felt at the loss of one whom they so highly es•'. teemed. _ _ Mr. WORRALL then presented the gratifying testimo. nials to Mr. Thompson, and read the following address : - - - Faithful and beloved Brother,—You have now been labouring in this school, and the different associations in connection with it, for the past eleven years, (viz., since 1934 to the present time.) and, we believe, with a single eye to the glory of God, and to the good of souls; for God, who comma.' deth the light to shine out of darkness. hath shined in your heart to give the light of the knowledge of the glory of God in the face of Jesus Christ. But you have this treasure in an earthen vessel, that the ex cellency of the power may be of God. You have been troubled on every side, yet not distressed ; perplexed, but not in despair ; persecuted, but not forsaken cast down, but not destroyed; always bearing about in the body the dying of the Lord Jesus. Knowing thy love and faith, which thou bast toward the Lord Jesus, and toward all saints; we rejoice greatly before God on your behalf, night and day, praying exceedingly that the com munication of thy faith may become effectual by the acknow ledging of every good thing which is in you in Christ Jesus. We have great joy and conso ation in thy love, because the bowels of the saints are r,_freshed by thee, brother. This address, with the accompanying testimonial, the teach ers and friends of this school present you with, as a small token of their sincere affection. Remembering without ceasing your work of faith, and labour of love, and patience f hope in our i ord Jesus Christ, in the sight of God and our Father; and knowing, brother beloved, your election of God, we heartily desire to commend you to God and to the word of his grace, which is able to build you up, and give you an inheritance among all them which are sancti fied, through faith which is in Christ Jesus our Lord. We are. your faithful friends in the Lord. [Signed by W. MAYNARD, Minister of the Mariners' Church, and about thirty members of the congregation.] July, 1845. To Mr. John Thompson Mr. TriontrsoN then read the following reply to the address, and expressed in feeling teems the regret which he experienced on leaving so many friends with whom he had been associated for such a lengthened period : Beloved Friends.—l am at a loss to express my feelings to you upon my retiring from the Mariners' Church, which it has been my privilege to attend uninterruptedly for the last eleven years, and occasionally for five years before. I can say that the Providence of God directed me thither, for it was within its sacred walls I first tasted a Saviour's love, which endears to me this church, with the many religious asso ciations connected with it. When I look back upon the way I have been led through good and evil report, I can truly say, " Hitherto the Lord bath helped me." Can we not discern a father's hand in supporting us to endure patiently, to press on cheerfully, in the midst of trials, troubles, and afflictions? And can we not point to each little association belonging to the Mariners' rhuich, and say, " See what hath God wrought " ? During the years we have been connected Vgether, have we not seen that God hath " chosen the weak things of the world to do his work"? (I Cor. i. 26-29.) Has he not graciously borne us witness that our labour has Lot been in vain in the Lord ? Let us ascribe the praise to him, who called us to a knowledge of himself, and was pleased to reveal his Son in us. As we then are to separate, we may remember — Though sunder'd far, by faith we meet Around one common mercy seat. Let us look for that happy period when we shall be absent from the body, and be present with the Lord. 0 the happiness of that union. which the redeemed shall enjoy in joining for ever in the " Song of Moses and the Lamb" ! I thank you for your kind and scriptural address, which will ever be valued by me as a token of your love and sympathy. I may from this conclude that I am still remembered by many amongst you whom I highly esteem. Accept also my thanks for your testimonial, which is another proof of your sincere affection, and also a testimony that my feeble efforts have not been in vain id the Lord. _ Finally, brethren, farewell ! Be perfect; be of good comfort ; be of one mind; live in peace; and the God of love and peace shall be with you. I am, your affectionate friend and brother. August, 1845. J. THOMPSON. 0014 8" RAILWAY AMALGAMATION. On Saturday, the Committee of the Lords met on the Bolton and Leigh, Kenyon and Leigh Junction, North Union, Liverpool and Manchester, and Grand Junction Amalgamation 8.11. Mr. Hope called Mr. James Booth, treasurer of the Manchester and Liverpool line, who bore strong testimony to the desirableness of the proposed amalgamation. Mr. Booth was subjected to a long cross examination, but his evidence, in thief, was not shaken. The Cornmitt3c, after some further evidence, declared the preamble of the bill proved, and adjourned to Mon day (yesterday). YESTERDAY'S MANCHESTER SHARE MARKET. (From J. B. Locke, &qr.'s List.) Birkenhead, Lancashire and Cheshire Junction, 8I; Bolton, Wigan and Liverpool, 27; Caledonian, 11 ; Ches ter and Birkenhead, 67 ; Ely and Bedford, 31 31; Hud dersfield and Manchester, 12 121; Ditto and Sheffield Junction, 101 ; Leeds and Thirsk, last sale, 91; Leeds, Dewsbury and Manchester, 25 ; Leeds and West Riding Junction, closing price, in; Liverpool, Orms kirk and Preston, 51 si; North Union, 206 ; West Yorkshire, 143. PASTORAL AID SOCIETY,—On Sunday morning last, the sum of £25 was collected at Aigburth church, on be half of this excellent society, after a very eloquent sermon by the Bev. Thomas Nolan. We believe there is no foundation in the statement of the Railway Times that " i'tr. Grant is likely to be suc cesqor of Mr. Moss, as chairman of the Grand Junction Railway." CAUTION.—A clerk in the office of a respectable attorney, in this town, had his pocket picked of a small leathern bag, containing two sovereigns, at the post office on Saturday last. No police officer was on the spot at the time. SUPPOSED SWELL MOB.—SiX young men, all strangers in the town but one, were yesterday brought before Mr. Rushton, on suspicion of going together in a gang, over various parts of the t rwn, in pursuit of their game, as pick-pockets. They were remanded for further inquiry. PLAYINE PITCH AND TOSS:ON SUNDAY.-Six boys, brought before Mr. Rushton, yesterday, for Ibis offence, and also for using disgraceful language to passers by, were fined ls and costs, or to be imprisoned for three days, the magistrate remarking that complaints of the practise were general. FELONY.—At the police court yesterday, a woman named Margaret Hewitt was charged with stealing two gowns from an eating house in Vauxhall-road, the pro perty of Caroline Room. They had been taken from a basket of clothes in a back room, and carried into the cellar, where she was detected with them. She was sent . for trial, having before been committed for felony. CAUTION.—A sailor belonging to the ship lnde penden,e was yesterday charged with smuggling from her a f e w pounds of tobacco and a small packet of tea. He was fined 405., or to be imprisoned fourteen days. Another seaman, of the same ship, who was found with three or four pounds of tobacco, was fined 305., or one month. One of the customs' officers stated that 40 cwt. of the same article was found in the ship. YACHTING.—On Saturday evening, at eight o'clock, the splendid schooner-yacht Wyvern arrived opposite this town, and came to an anchor in the Sloyne, having on board her noble owner, His Grace the Duke of Marlbo rough. She is a noble craft, and is commanded by Capt. Paul, R.N. This independent nobleman is no bad repre sentative of a true British sailor, a real yachtman, who, in the words of the song, says— "tip up with my sail, let the sheets kiss the wind, " And I warrant we'll soon leave the seagull* behind." and is always ready to sail for any port the wind will carry him. His grace was in Liverpool on Sunday, and we hear will remain a few days in the neighbourhood. * You won't leave the R. M.Y.C. Seagull behind.—E. L. S. ZOOLOGICAL GARDENS. —These truly beautiful grounds continue to attract crowds of visitors, and the many strangers who visit our town during the summer should not loose the opportunity of visiting the splendid.pyro technic exhibitions of Mount Heels, for we feel no hesita tation in saying that it is unequalled by anything that has preceded it. Many of the colours in the rockets and shells are entirely new, and are the result of numerous scientific experiments made by Mr. John Atkins—on whom they reflect no ordinary credit. The yellow meteor shell is one deserving particular attention, displaying a surprising diversity of colours—that are only seen when it has attained its height—descending in a thousand beau tifully brilliant star-like forms. The menagerie and the centrifugal railway, the other attractions, are sources of general amusement. CHARGE OF SHOOTING.—On Saturday morning, a little before eleven, as th e R ev . R. Moore, incumbent of Lund, a county magistrate, was walking up Fishergate. Preston, he was fired at by a man of the name of Richard Bennett. He was instantly apprehended by Mr. Moore, and taken before a magistrate, and was committed for trial at the assizes. The ball passed Mr. Moore's coat, and went across the street. The prisoner, after firing the pistol, threw it at Mr. Moore, and bit him on the right breast. No cause is assigned for the prisoner's conduct, but lie is the same person who was charged with having, at four o'clock on the morning of Tuesday, the 19th of April, 1836, blown up with gunpowder the house of Mr. Thomas Parkinson, of Kirkham. He is the son of Mr. Bennett, shoemaker, of Kirkham, and was instructed in the busi ness of his father. He is about 34 years of age. Mr. Parkinson's house was blown up the day following the marriage of one of his daughters, with whom Bennett was in love, but to whom he had not declared his passion. ALLEGED POOR LAW CRUELTIES.—For the credit of England we trust that some ex,ggeration has been prac tised upon Mr. Wakley, and that the statements which he made in the House on Friday evening respecting a Poor Law Union in Hampshire cannot be true to the let ter. Nevertheless Mr. Wakley vouched one of the guardians as his authority for stating that the paupers of that union were employed in crushing bones, and that, while so employed, they quarrelled with each other for the bits of marrow they might chance to contain, and knawed off the meat from the extremeti s of the bones. Surely this is more like the picture of a dog-kennel and of fighting dogs than of English men ! Can it be that ten years of Poor Law discipline has had so much power for brutalizing as this. On the same evening Mr. T. Duncombe brought forward another Poor Law case, which we cannot doubt to have been truly painted ; Si.t James Graham himself spoke to the accuracy of the por trait. It seems that at Mansfield the noor who seek for nightly shelter or food are set to work in return at a wheel for the mere sake of the task. The wheel is not employed for any beneficial purpose, as grinding corn, &c., it is purely used for grinding the poor. ANDARD. NEW LIVERPOOL ROYAL STOCK EXCHANGE. By the kindness of the secretary of this new institution, which, it will be observed from the announcement of the committee, is to be carded on on a more open system than the old Stock Exchange, we have been permitted to pay a visit to it during the hours of business, and witness the mode in which the buying and selling of shares is conducted. As it may be an object of curiosity and in terest to some of our readers to be acquainted with the system we shall briefly describe it, as it came on this oc casion under our own observation, premising, however, in justice to the new body, that their arrangements can as yet scarcely be said to have been fully matured, and the number of members will, of course, be very materially increased. The building formed into the Royal Stock Exchange is the British Hotel, at the top of Moorfields, a large room on the first floor being fitted up for business. At the door a porter is stationed, equipped in a magnificent uni form, (of which he appears mighty vain,) to communi cate messages, convey letters, &c. to the members inside. On entering the room you are struck with the somewhat lively mode in which buying and selling is conducted. The members perambulate the room, or stand in groups, making their various offers aloud in something like this fashion—" I'm a buyer of Luxeroburgs"—" What's your price ?" " I sell London and York's," &c., and every sale which is made is forthwith written by the secretary on a large painted board, which occupies part of one side of the room, thus ensuring publicity and correctness for the transactions. These entries are at the close of the day transcribed, and form the " business done" which ap pears in the daily circular. The closing prices are ascer tained in the usual way, by the secretary calling out the names of the various stocks which have been operated in during the day, and recording the prices at which offers to buy and to sell were made. The room is neatly fitted up, supplied with newspapers and share-lists, and at one end has a rostrum fi ted up for the secretary. We under stand that a very satisfactory business has been transacted since the opening of the establishment, which promises to be a very flourishing concern, and must materially relieve the inconvenient pressure which we understand is felt at the old establishment in Bank-buildings. MAYNOOTH BILL—PROTEST AGAINST THE THIRD READING. Dissentient, — Because, I consider this measnre to be entirely incon sistent with the Protestant Constitution of our govern ment, to maintain and defend which the house of Brunswick was called to the throne of these realms. Because, I cannot but think that this bill, taken in conjunction with the measures recommended and pursued by her Majesty's ministers, is calculated to put in hazard the existence of the Protestant Church in Ireland ; though at the time of the union of that country with Great Britain, it was distinctly undertaken, that that Church should be the United Church of England and Ireland, and be maintained as such Because, I fear that the security of her Majesty's throne cannot but be greatly endangered, and the hearts of her Majesty's loyal Protestant subjects throughout the empire deeply shocked by such measures, as, indeed, the unprecedented number of petitions presented to both houses of parliament and to her Majesty, abundantly testify. Because, I consider that the Protestant Church and Constitution of England are the highest of all blessings vouchsafed to our country by God's special and peculisr mercy, and that the nation will be guilty of a ereat crime in abandoning the protection of so sacred a trust ; and that as we have been blessed beyond all the nations of the world during the periods of our possessing it, so we may well fear that if we prove unworthy, we may receive such severe punishment, as a nation, as such abandonment of our highest national duty deserves. KENYON, WINCHILSEA and NO GAM, FARNHAM. NCREASE OF THE DEPOSIT REQUIRED ON RAILWAY SCHEMES. On the motion of Lord G. Somerset, and, we presume, to place a bar in the way of new and useless railway schemes, the House of Commons on Tuesday night passed a new standing order, by which the deposit of five per cent., now required by the House to entitle the pro moters of any railway scheme to apply for a bill, is to be in future increased to ten per cent. This arrangement — whether well advised or not we shall not stop to inquire— must create considerable embarrassment to companies al ready before the public, and to scripholders who have pur chased from original proprietors. Such companies will, before the next session, have to call up an additional five per cent. from their shareholders; and will in many cases, we fear, have considerable difficulty in getting the money contributed. Of course they can only look to the parties who have originally signed their deeds ; and where these have sold their scrip, they will naturally hesitate upon paying a further five per cent. upon property which has passed from their hands; and in many cases it may not be easy to induce the actual holders of their scrip to show themselves and do the needful. In some unpopular un dertakings many shareholders wiil undoubtedly forfeit what they have already paid rather than add to the:r risks by paying more. We anticipate, as the result of this new order, the winding up of many of the more hopeless un dertakings. Under all circumstances, the best course perhaps would have been to confine the operation of the order to new projects. DICTATORIAL MAN./VEAL or THE DUKE TOWARDS His COLLEAGUES.—The correspondent of the Dublin Even ing Mail, in communicating the decision of the Lords on the Dublin and Galway Railway Bill, gives the following singular scene :—" Lord Stanley Secretary of State for the colonies, is indulging his sporting propensities at the Goodwood races—so Field Marshal the Duke of Wel lington took the leadership on the occasion, and rumped his colleagues, after the approved fashion practised towards himself by the Secretary of the Colonies. As suming a false propoiit'on, his Grace naturally arrived at an illogical conclusion, and uttered his determined veto, indulging in some bitter sneers at Lord St. Germans, and was of course supported by the dependent followers of the government. The principal Whig members left the house without voting, and Lord Wharncliffe, the Lord President of the Council, had the manliness to follow their example." The dictatorship of the gallant Field Marshal is felt, it seems, upon such a matter as the throwing out of a railway bill ; but when it extends to throwing down the buttresses of the Protestant church and constitution we have no such displays of " manliness " SS that above referred to. MORE MELANCHOLY NEWS FROM ALGERIA.—The Moniteur Alg6rien of the 28th ult., announces, that Mar shal Bugeaud embarked for Dellys on the 23d, to take the command of the expedition directed against Ben Salem. That journal states, that the disarmament of the inhabitants of the Ouarensenis and Dahara was still proceeding, but that many arms, some of which are of the best description, had not yet been surrendered. No less than 7,000 muskets fit for service had been removed to Orleansville, and 1,500 more had been broken. Hadj- Hamet, the Aga of the Ouarensenis appointed by the French, on returning from the marriage of his son (with a young woman of Masouna), was unexpectedly attacked in the defile of. Meran by a party of Ibeahs, who killed the Aga and twelve of his followers, wounded twenty, and dispersed the remainder. A detachment of 30 French spahis, given to the Aga by Colonel St. Arnaud as an escort of honour, and who were at the rear of the column, charged the enemy and attempted to recover the body of the Aga, but being overpowered by numbers, they retired, leaving five of their body on the field and bringing off 13 wounded. The young bride, and several other women, with the whole of the baggage, fell into the hands of the assailants. The Ibeahs were at all times a tut bulent race, and in constant revolt against the Turks, large caves, into which they sought refuge on the approach of the latter, securing them impunity. Marshal Bugeaud, on being informed of their treachery. had decreed the transportation of the tribe into some distant part of the regency, and the confiscation of their territory. Colonel Pelissier embarked for Dellys on the 21st, and was to accompany Marshal Bugeaud in his expedition. LEEDS AND WEST RIDING AND WEST YORKSHIRE RAILWAYS.—These two:lines, which lately waged so fierce a contest in Parliament, have both been taken up by the Manchester and Leeds, with which enterprising company they have become identified, and the three now form one interest. The amalgamation will be effected by the crea tion, by the Manchester and Leeds, of fifth shares. This intelligence was received in Liverpool on Saturday, and, though it was known to comparatively few persons, the shares of both the above lines rose considerably. Quarter shares in the Manchester and Leeds railway are worth £2B premium, £6 paid ; the real value of the fifth shares, (or, which is the same thing, the shares of the two compa nies referred to,) is £22 to £23 premium; and to this price they will in all probability, when the ercutnstances become fully known, attain. It was said on Saturday, that the protracted labours of both houses on railway matters, would probably be brought to a close yesterday. Both lawyers and legis lators were tired of the subject. CRICKET.-0o Saturday last, the return match be tween the Edge-hill and the Olympus Clubs, was played by the particular desire of the latter, on the ground of the Derby, when fortune once more favoured the Edge-hill, who came off victorious, with six wickets to go down.

INTERESTING TO GEOLOGISTS.--There has been a growing demand of late for furniture made in the Elizabethian style, and the cabinet-makers, after trying every stain which ingenuit; could suggest, brought to the requisite s h a d e. I n the Cree timber there is every diver sity of hue, from sable black to the most beautiful wain scots, which has induced our spirited townsman, Mr. Ur quhart, of 8 0 ld- street, to b ecome t h e so l e purchaser of this wood mine, and to manufacture it into antique furni ture, and for hills, and for furnishing for noblemen's mansions, churches, &c. As Mr. Urquhart has received a cargo, consisting of more than one hundred huge trees, geologists and the curious may see the timber in the depot of Me ssrs . Ch aloner and Fleming; and the lovers of an tique furniture may see, at Mr. Urquhart's rooms, several pieces made from the wood, among which is a beautiful sideboard, richly emblazoned with figures of heraldry, such as shields, belts, &c., surmounted with open vases, beautifully carved ; and library tables In the same antique style. THE WINE AND SPIRIT TRADE. , A public meeting of the merchants engaged in the wine and spirit trade of this port was held in the Clarendon Rooms, yesterday, " for the purpose of receiving from the chairman a report of his conference with the government upon very important business." Mr. WILLIAM DIXON, jun., the chairman, who had been appointed by th e p u bli c meet i ng of the 21st ult. to proceed to London, as a deputation on behalf of the trade, took the chair, and proceeded to read a long written detail of his proceedings in the metropolis, in conjunction with Mr. Moore, chairman of the Bristol association. He pro ceeded to London on the 22nd, and was joined by Mr. Moore on the 23rd. In the first instance, he called upon Mr. Wainwright, from whom he learned that the Cus toms Consolidation Bill would be read the second time that evening, and he feared that the expected audience would not be granted, the session being so nearly closed. He next waited upon Lord Sandon, with whom he had many interviews, and also upon Sir Howard Douglas. Mr. Moore, also, waited upon Mr. Berkeley, one of the members for Bristol; Mr. Miles, the other member, had left London. On Friday morning they went down to the house, and Sir Howard Douglas took them into the bill office, where he (the chairman), for the first time, saw the warehousing bill, and he found the 22nd clause precisely the same in every respect as the 19th section, 3 and 4, Wm. IV., chap. 57, being the old story of one gallon for every six months, except as applied to rum. Sir Howard, at his request, asked the Chancellor of the Exchequer to expunge this clause and substitute the following, " that all wines and spirits be chargeable only on the existing quantities and strength when taken out of bond for home consumption;" but the chancellor replied—" I see the drift of this, I will not admit it." Mr. Moore, and he (the chairman) next called on the chairman of the board of customs, in order to accelerate their report to the treasury, but it had been sent in the previous day. During this interview, the chair man of the Customs stated some persons considered he was not friendly disposed towards the outports, but he assured them he regarded the interests of the out ports with as much attention as those of the metropolis; the outports he considered, were entitled to full allow ances for wastages, and if the scale now in operation were inadequate he was willing to extend it. He (Mr. Dixon) replied that no scales were wanted except those of even handed justice. He only wanted brandy, Geneva, and wines to be placed under the same legislative protection as colonial spirit, not resting on treasury minutes, but in troduced into the warehousing act now before the house. The chairman rejoined " That I decidedly oppose," but he declined to enter into discussion upon it. Some fur ther conversation followed, and they withdrew. On re turning to Mr. Wainwright, the were informed the Trea sury had sat the previous day upon the Customs' report, and decided against them. Lord Sandon then gave no tice, on the 28th, that on the bringing up the report on the warehousing bill, to propose an amendment, by which the full wastage, from natural causes, should be allowed on wine and spirits in warehouses of sufficient security as well as of special security. His lordship, in moving this amendment, asked upon what ground the government could refuse to admit the same legislative protection to brandies and wines as had been granted to rum, and why the protection given to one liquid should be refused to another ? The Chancellor of the Exchequer was not pre sent, and Mr. Cardwell replied that the government were desirous of affording to the outports every relief and facility, but the present was not the fit time for discussing the subject, as the bill was one merely for the purpose of consolidation. Lord Sandon replied, that alterations had been made in some of the bills, and the one he proposed was therefore quite practicable. Mr. Cardwell, however, gave no answer to the distinct question of the noble lord. Lord Sandon then informed him it was quite clear the alteration would not be made, but promised to use his best influence to obtain an audience of the Chancellor of the Exchequer. An audience was eventually appointed for Tuesday morning. They were accompanied to the office in Downing street by Lord Sandon, Sir Howard Douglas, and the Hon. 11. P. Berkeley. There were with the Chancellor, the Chairman of the Board of Cus toms, and Mr. Cardwell. He (Mr. Dixon) opened the proceedings by stating he had been deputed by a public meeting of the wine and spirit trade, to solicit this conference for the purpose of placing Liverpool, and the other ports, on the same footing in every respect as London ; that they desired the same le gislative protection on all spirits and wines that had been conceded to rum, and that if they omitted to make their wishes known at this time, any application after wards would come with a bad grace, as it would naturally be the object of the government to render the Customs Consolidation Bill perfect and conclusive.—The Chancellor of the Exchequer, in reply, said the ware houses at the outports were differently circumstanced to the bonded stores at the London docks—that they were only of sufficient security, whilst those at London were of special security ; that the London warehouses had been erected at considerable expense, being surrounded by walls, which expense had not been incurred at the out ports. It would therefore be an act of injustice to take from the London warehouses the immunities held cut to them in conseqnence of their superior advantages; and moreover, he could not grant to one or two outports ad vantages without extending them to all the rest. The whole wastage was confined to colonial spirit, because its importation was confined to three or four trading ports; the other had no connection with the British settlements. Lord Sandon took the same views as himself (Mr. Dixon), and contended that no walls could be a protection against atmospheric influences; and Mr. Moore defended the perfect security of the bonded stores et the outports for all practical purposes, observing that in addition to the officers having full possession of them, the govern ment had the additional security of a heavy bond into which merchants were obliged to enter. They merely wanted to have placed under legislative enactment, which could not be disturbed, what was now enjoyed by treasury minutes, but which might, at any time, be refused. He (Mr. D.) replied, expressing his hops that the few words he had suggested should be substituted for the 22d section of the warehousing act, even though it was the eleventh hour. The Chancellor replied--" I cannot do it now; have refused five hundred applications for alterations." Lord Sandon then asked permission to have extended to wines the same condition that applied to brandy, namely, that when the wastage exceeded the scale of allowance laid down, the officers of customs might be instructed to allow it where there had been no fraud. The Chancellor said he could see no objection to that, for they had that day decided on grenting what he (the Chairman) had ap plied for, namely, the allowance on small packages of wines imported from Marsala, the. Cape, &c. His (the chairman's) next movement was to request a return of the duty that had been paid for the wastage on small pack ages of wine, from the 22nd January to the Bth April last, which had twice been refused by the treasury. The Chancellor replied that this request could not be granted, because the wines had been removed from the custody of the officers of customs, and in such cases no return of duty was made; but on two cases being mentioned where the money had been returned, a promise was made that the application should be taken into consideration. They then retired, leaving Lord Sandon, who remained on some other matters ; and in going, Sir Howard Douglas, who had throughout shewn the greatest anxiety on the subject, expressed his conviction that in the next session they would certainly obtain what they wished embodied into an act. The trade had thus obtained every. thing they wished for with regard to wastage and evapora tion on wines and spirits in bond. True, it rested only in treasury orders, but he had re ce i ve d full assurance from the heads of the three important departments connected with the revenue, that what had been now granted would never he disturbed. Still, it would be for consideration, whether, in another session, they should not apply for the immunities they now enjoyed to he secured by an act of parliament. The outports thus, at length, enjoyed the full allowances for waste and evaporation on all wines and spi rits to the like extent as the London merchants. He there fore offered, to all the trade, his hearty congratulations, and also to all in the outports connected with the importa tion of colonial spirit, for had he not succeeded thirteen years ago, through the assistance of Lord Sandon, in get ting ruin exempted from the operation of the 19th section of 3 and 4 Wm. IV. c. 57, the whole of the importations of rum must inevitably have centred in the London docks, for it would have been almost impossible for the merchants at the outports to have competed with those of London, under the positive loss of 16 per cent. ad valorem, which would have been permanently inflicted upon them. The benefit thus derived amounted, in round numbers, to £150,000 per annum, which the trad e. a t t h e outports had before to pay on taking their wines and spirits out of bond for home consumption, an amount which, not com ing in the way of direct taxation, was an indirect abstrac tion from their legitimate profits. Calculating from par liamentary returns giving an account of the annual cons sumption of foreign spirits and wines, and taking the estimate of waste and evaporation on a scale considerably below that of the allowances, and below what he believed was actually experienced, the saving amounted, since the immunity was granted in 1824 (before which the duty had to be paid on the quality and strength at the time of importation), to £3,113,320; and they had the further satisfaction of looking forward with perfect confidence to the annual saving of .£150.000. The chairman concluded by expressing his acknowledgment of the courtesy of the Chancellor of the Exchequer, and the services of Lord Sandon and Sir H. Douglas. Mr. R. W. PRESTON, after a few remarks eulogistic of their services to the mercantile interest of this port, moved a vote of thanks to the members for the borough for their services on this occasion. This and the remaining resolutions will ire found in our advertising columns. INS' A 4ULTING „NNOONCEMENT BY A FOREIGN Po- TENTATE.—A paragraph in the Times, dated " Good wood, Friday," contains the following announcement : " Before we give the usual returns of the racing, we should state that the King of the Netherlands took his departure for London this morning. His Majesty has given a gratifying proof of the pleasure he received from his visit, by signirying his intention to present a cup, to be run for next year, to be called ' The Orange Cup,' and to be weights for age." THE ORANGE CUP—mercy on us ! The very horses must refuse to start for a prize so unfortunately named. Her Majesty's ministers, at any rate, could not, with any degree of propriety, advise the presence of their royal mistress to see a cup contended for which naughty people may say has been christened in mockery of their own Anti-Protestant policy. An ORANGE Cur ! We should not wonder to see a brigade of shillaleghs march from St. Giles to pull down from the stand so insulting an emblem of British supremacy. Thomas Scott, of Kelso, an extensive cattle dealer, has left this part of the country under embarrassed circum stances. Rumour states that the amount of his liabilities exceeds £2o,ooo.—Tyre Mercury.
