TUESDAY MORNING, JULY 26, 1842 That the proceedings of the millocrat party in the House of Commons during the past week have been disgraceful; and indeed infamous, we need not say is our own opinion, for it is that of every \veil principled man, of whatever shade of politics, throughout the kingdom. Bold and bad men, ready to become the mercenary tools of a faction, however base, there will always be found in any representative assembly; and We are therefore little surprised that Gibsons and Cob dens should be found in a British Parliament to ob struct the constitutionally declared will of its majority— to arrest the public business of the state, and even to do all that in them lies to withhold the returning tide of prosperity from a suffering people. But do we grieve that these insolent and factious proceedings are just now resorted to ? No ! We hail every st e p o f this " blatant" band with pleasure, because in every step We see, and the people of England will see, more and more ; their hollowness, their reckless dishonesty, their utter want of principle and truth ! For what is it that these men just now seek to hurry On the GOvernrnent to inquiries into distress —to Pledge s as to future policy and future measures ? Have they 'ail) , indisputable truth —any panacea of un challenged efficacy --to offer for the relief of that dis tress ? No. They seek for inquiry—they agitate and brawl—at this moment to unsettle the public mind, to cripple the working of measures already passed, to Prolon g the existence of the very distress they corn- Plain of Until they may be able to achieve out of it a Popular convulsion.

Even, so ! doctrine that the Church no right to of England has "make the first lai " of , c —tn. upon the state for the noble purpose educating the peopl e i s th e doctrine main tained by the 'Conservative government of Sir Robert Pea! The fulsome adulation of di ssent, t h e prostra tier, f the ch urc h before the poreh of the conventicle, to thank it for the example which it has set her, is the adulation of an united Conservative administration ! Oh, that men, and especially statesmen, would but do all and dare all for PRINCIPLE ! For ten years past that powerful party which now occupies the mi nisterial benches of the houses of parliament has main tained itself in the affections of the people of England, by the promise of a sound, religious education for their children. Whilst liberalism has paraded its halls of science, its mechanics' institutes, and its schools, with out so much of religion as would startle the prejudices of Jew, Turk, Infidel or Heathen, Conservatism . has pointed to a system of education for the people, based upon the revealed word and the whole truth of God, and superintended by the faithful pastors of their na tional church. lifore than upon any other question, the hearts of a Protestant people—above all, of a Pro- . testant demo cracy — were set upon t h e rea li za ti on of this blessing.; and yet, after ten years of hope and even trust, we awake from our delusion to find realized only the taunting prophecies of our opponents, and learn that, to promote the spread of religious and mo ral training amongst England's rising generation no thing is to be done Nothing, did we say ? Then we are in error. We are not, it is true, to witness the concession, by go vernment, of an extensive measure of national educa tion, superintended by our national church, and founded upon our Protestant Bible; but we are, in all probability, to be presented with something almost as good —a system of education for the people BASED UPON MR. HULLAH'S PLAN OF TEACHING SING ING! Yes; Socialism has discovered long ago that the infidel knowledge with which she crams her vota ries is widely disseminated by the .instrumentality of concerts and fancy balls ; Socinianism - and Atheism approach the understanding of their blind dupes by means of lectures and exhibitions; and a Conservative government—(oh shame o—professes its hope of " see ing THE MORALS (!) of the lower classes improved," by adding the teaching of writing, arithmetic, and li near drawing W. to the knowledge of crotchets and . quavers, barS and rests, 'Conveyed by Mr. Wilhem's system to the pupils of Mr. Hullah Surely the blind ness of a government which can thus palter with our hopes, thus bow the knee to the Dagon of liberalism, thus supply a cold and lifeless modicum of secular knowledge to immortal beings who faint for the pure waters of life, is a thing for Christians to grieve over, and to cause devils to hold jubilee Well, we are deceived—might we not almost say betrayed ? Our hopes of a system of national educa tion for the people of England, based upon the truths of religion, are knocked to the ground. The MO] school system, too, is to be maintained; the hotbed of popish agitation and priestly obscenity—MAYNOOTH— is still .to be supported by a Protestant government, What, then, we ask, becomes the duty of a Protestant government ? Agitation? No. Protestants must not go about this matter in a passionate spirit. UNION, however, Protestants must have. We must strengthen our position for resistance or for remon strance, although as yet we take up no offensive wea pons. We must be able to array ourselves in the front of our valued institutions, in numbers sujicient to sway the course of a ministry which freckles to numbers whilst it betrays principle, and seeks to conciliate, in stead of to put down, error. Protestants must be up and awake, if they would not be trampled under the feet of enemies without their walls or treacherous friends within I That the Protestants of Liverpool will not be found wanting in the emergency which is approaching, the evidence is placed before their fellow-countrymen in our columns of this day. From this town went forth, we fear not to say it, the first warning which shook Popery in her onward march to supremacy in the British isles. From the Protestant Association of Liverpool went forth those spirit-stirring appeals, and that noble example of faithfulness in the cause of the church and the constitution of our country which struck down the sacrilegious hand already advanced to commence the work of spoliation and defilement, and surrounded the altars, the throne, and the houses of England with hearts ready to defend them to the death. And that strong Protestant faithfulness will not desert us now—those spirit-stirring warnings will not be unuttered now: but to the ears even of a Con servative Administration they will pierce, in tones firm though respectful, determined though affectionate—in the language of truthfulness, which springs from resolved hearts, and which WILL RE HEARD ! Our contemporary, the Albion, affects to be very jocose with us in his last publication, and appears to have " catched" (to use his own elegant expression) a very novel idea of interpreting plain English. Before, however, this merry personage takes upon himself to give to the world versions of other men's writings, interpolated with his own italics, we would recommend to him a week or two's attendance upon the Grammar class at the Mechanics' Institution, or the School of the Town Mission for teaching adults. In the article which our contemporary, like a very small dog we have read of, " Has done all that a thing so diminutive could" to convert into most ridiculous absurdity, we neither stated " that the repeal of the corn-laws would be succeeded by immediate prosperity," or that " earth quakes would, in future, take place over our heads." We never spoke, either, of " covering an odour." Really, people who are so obtuse as to be unable to read correctly a grammatical sentence, much less write one, ought to pause before they exhibit, thus publicly, their stupid discoveries. Errors of Grammar may creep into the hasty compositions of any journalist. In the case, however, of the paragraphs which have excited the Albion to giggle, every error alleged hap pens to be so only in the imagination of our flippant censor. STATE OF TRADE, MANUFACTURES, &c We have had an extensive demand for cotton during the past week, both from the trade and on speculation, which has, however, been fully met by the trade at the full priceS of last week. In the common qualities of American an advance of id. per lb. was, in many instances, obtained. The business of the week, up to Friday, amounted to 38,030 bales, which included 11,800 on speculation, and 300 for export. On Saturday 6000 bales were sold, and yesterday 5000 at firm prices, and to the trade entirely. The market,. how ever, continues well supplied, and any demand will be freely met by holders at full rates. In the manufacturing districts the improvement noticed last week still continues, and is even increased. In Man chester, a considerably larger business was done last week than has been done for some time past, every description of goods being in demand, and higher prices for most being asked, which, for some kinds, were submitted to. A more healthy feeling prevails throughout every branch of the cotton trade. The same active business and improving tone may be said to extend as well throughout the clothing dis tricts of Yorkshire; and the prospects of an excellent trade after harvest are universally thought to be most cheering. LOCAL, NEWS The Liverpool Improvement Bill will come into operation on the Ist of September next. MR. WCILEA'S CHAPEL AT WATERLOO.—This cele brated building was '• put up" for sale by public auction, at the Clarendon-rooms, on Friday, but the " lot" was ultimately withdrawn. The Rev. William Hughes, Welsh Minister of St. Paul's Church, has been appointed chaplain to the Northern Hos pital, Leeds-street, Liverpool. FATAL RAILWAY ACCIDENT.—On Wednesday week a fearful accident occurred on the line of the Liverpool and Manchester Railway, which proved immediately fatal to a young man of the name of Scott, about 19 or 20 years of age. EXCURSION TO SCOTLAND.—We understand, in a publi cation or two, we shall be able to announce an excursion to Scotland from this town ; for which purpose, a first-rate steamer will be engaged to convey the party to Glasgow, from whence, aftor visiting the " lions' of that city, a special train will be in readiness to convey them to Edin burgh, a snfficient time being given to visit all that will gratify the stranger, and then return by the same conveyance. The charge for the whole excursion is intended not to exceed twenty-six shillings. attend:dant' than ATH EN this . , tum.—The annual meeting of the proprietors of 12th institutioninstant was held, in the Library, on Tuesday, the ordinarily interesting periodical on which occasion a less number than usual notwithstanding the measures proposed were more several topic ' • and important.

M'Kelvey, keeper of a bookseller's shop in Tithebarn-street, was brought up at the Police-court on Friday, on the information of officer Kehoe, for selling publications of an immoral ten dency. He was committed to the sessions, the magistrate stating at the time that he was determined to put down the sale of such publications. This is the third committal of the kind during the week. A WHOLESALE STEALER OF CLOTHES FROM LINES. — On Friday, at the Police -court, Alice Crook, an elderly fe male, was charged with stealing a shirt from the line, in a field near Dryden -street, on the previous day. She was seen to take it by a girl of 13 years of age. Another shirt, gown, &c., were found at different pawnbrokers, which it was proved had been pledged by the prisoner. They were the property of several parties, who had hung them out in the neighbour hood to dry. No fewer than 22 pawn tickets, for similar articles, were found in the prisoner's house, in Tenterden street, and several of the owners appeared and claimed their property. She was committed for trial at the Sessions. THEFT BY A DomasTre.—On Wednesday morning last, a gentleman named William May, who resides in Hope-street, observed a little bare-footed girl knock at the kitchen win dow of his neighbour, Mr. IL C. Langton. Presently the house door was opened, and the girl walked in. Mr. May watched her out at the back door in Arrad-street, with a large basket, containing bread, beef, tea, sugar, coffee, and provisions of all kinds. He followed her, and took her back to the house, when it was found that she had obtained the basket and its contents from the servant, Ann Murphy, but during the confusion which ensued in the house, both the girl and the servant made their escape. Murphy was after wards apprehended in Mulberry -street. The case was heard on Thursday before Mr. Rushton, when Mrs. Langton ap peared, claimed the articles found in the basket, and stated that since the prisoner came into her house, three weeks ago , double the qu a ntit y of all sorts of provisions had been con sumed. The prisoner was committed for trial. COMMITMENT FOR STEALING a GOLD WATCH.— An elderly woman named Ellen Lyon, was on Friday placed at the bar of the Police -court, on a charge of stealing a watch. Mr. Kinnear said he was a clerk in the office of Messrs. Brown, Shipley, and Co., Chapel-street. On Tuesday even ing he left his watch, guard and key, on the mantle-piece of the bookkeeper's office. On the following morning he missed it, and inquired for it. The prisoner, who was employed in cleaning the offices, denied all knowledge of it. It was worth upwards of £5. From the subsequent evidence it appeared that the prisoner had taken the watch on the following day (Wednesday) to the house of a person named Thomas, who was employed as an assistant to Mr. Stewart, pawnbroker, Burlington -street. Mr. Thomas was not at borne, and she requested his wife to ascertain from him what it was worth, stating that it had been lent to her by a gentleman in the office named to enable her to pay her rent. It was sent to Mr. Thomas, who made some inquiry relative to its being honestly come by, and sent it back. Soon after he received one of the bills describing it, and went to the prisoner's house, and asked. her where it was. She said sine had re turned it to the gentleman who lent it to her. He told her it was stolen, and she gave - it to him, saying, she hoped he would not hurt her. She was-committed for trial at the ses sions HOUSEBREAKING AND STEALING A Box OF CLOTHES.— Yesterday, a boy, named Robert Mullineux, was charged, at the Police Court, with stealing a box of clothes from a dwel ling-house. Joseph Barrett, a young man, said that he was a ivo ma t. with Mr. Philips, draper, in Wapping. On the 2nd of May last, he placed in one of the top rooms of a house in Oldhall-street, a box, containing a coat, two pair of trow s,es, a waistcoat, two shirts, twelve pair of stockings, a pair of boots, &c. They removed next day, and went to live in Cheshire. He saw the box safe between five and six that evening, when he locked up the house, and took the keys to Cheshire. He returned to the house on the 9th of May, and found it had been entered. He missed the box and its contents. The room door had been broken open. He afterwards found the box in a cupboard in the kitchen with the lock broken, The clothes he did not find. They were worth from to £6. He gave information to the police, describing the prisoner, and yesterday saw him near the King's Dock. He challenged him with the robbery, and he said he bad not taken the box and clothes, but he knew a boy who had taken part of them, and would go with him to his house. He walked with him to Castle -street, and then gave him into custody. The subsequent „evidence.. went to prove that, on the Bth of May, the prisoner was seen near to Mr. Barrett's back door, with a box on his shoulder, which he took towards his own house. A witness saw him, on• the same day, carry it into Queen's Court, opposite Mr. Barrett's back door. The same witness had been informed that the prisoner had taken the box back to Mr. Barrett's. The prisoner said to the police-officer, who took him tnto custody that he had gone to the house with other boys, but did not take the things. After being cautioned as to saying any thing, he said, " I took nothing but a pair of stockings, a book, and a waistcoat." He was committed for trial. POCKET PICKING.—A boy named Peter Mooney was yesterday charged at the Poli ce - cour t with picking a gentle man's pocket. Mr. Thomas George Garratt, tavern-keeper, Park-lane, said that on Saturday evening, at seven o'clock, be was assisting to extricate a horse which had fallen in a cart in the street, when he felt some one at his coat pocket, and on looking round saw the prisoner in the act of putting his handketchief into his own pocket. He immediately secured him, and held him until an officer came up, and took him into custody. The prisoner declined to say anything, and, being an old offender in the same department of art, was committed for trial. He refused to sign the deposition. STEALING A SOVEREIGN.—A woman of the town, named Jane Montgomery, was yesterday charged before Mr. Rushton with this offence. Sarah Ford, wife of a publican in Oldhall-street, said that on Saturday night five sailors came to the bar and asked for some drink, in payment for which they handed her a sovereign. She had not sufficient change to give them, and could not leave the place, as there was no one else in the house at the time. The prisoner, who was present, observing this, said she would take it and get it changed, and return in a f ew m i nu t es . Th e w i tness gave her th sovereign, with which she went out, but did not return. Police-officer Rice was sent in search of her and brought her back, together with a bundle, containing a pair of shoes and other articles. Margaret Oger, a shoe maker's wife, residing in Prussia-street, said that the pri soner had bought the shoes at their shop for 6s. 6d. The prisoner was quite drunk when she was brought back, and only 4s. 6d. of the money was found upon her. She was committed for trial. THEFT FROM ON BOARD A VESSEL.—Yesterday, at the Police-court, two youths, Michael Griffin and Henry Wil son, and an elderly-woman, Ann Griffin, mother of the for mer, were placed at the bar, the two first on a charge of stealing, and the other of receiving a quantity of tea and sugar from on board a vessel called the " Ocean Queen." About six o'clock on Saturday evening a police-officer ob served the two male prisoners coming from the Prince's Dock, and as they appeared to be bulky he stopped them, and on searching them at the hut, found that Griffin had on his person about 3.11b5. of sugar and Ilb. of tea, and Wilson 4lbs. of sugar and of tea. He asked Wilsoa (who was an apprentice on board the Ocean Queen) where he had got the articles, and he said it was no use to tell a lie—they had got it from on board that vessel. It appeared from further evidence that the Sheriff's officers were in charge of the ship at tide time, that the Custom-house-officers had left on board a quantity of tea and sugar, under seal, for stores ; and that on examining the vessel, after the prisoners were apprehended, it was found that about 41bs. of tea and 10 to 151bs. of the coffee was missing. The back part of the bread room had been forced out, by which access was obtained to the packages, which were broken open, hut the seals left un disturbed. The duty had not been paid. The lodging of the prisoner, Ann Griffin, in Prince's -street, was afterwards searched, and a quantity of tea and sugar was there found in a band-box, of the same appearance and quality as that missed. Michael Griffin made a long reply to the charge, to the effect that the other boy had given him some tea and sugar on board the vessel, on Friday, and had assisted him to get it past the police-officer at the dock, whom he said he knew would let him pass, as he occasionally brought him rum and news papers ; and that he received another quantity from him on Saturday, for assisting to clean the decks and coil the ropes, and which was found upon him when he was apprehended. He added, that he told his mother, on taking it home, that he had bought it and paid for it, and that she insisted on his taking it away, as she was not satisfied without seeing the person he bought it from. He picked it up to carry away, but did not do so.—Wilson said he found the sugar, &c., in his chest—the only one on board—a n d th a t it h a d been put there by another apprentice.—The woman denied all know ledge of the theft.—The prisoners were all committed for trial. ROBBERY FROM A WAREHOUSE.—Yesterday, at the Po lice-court, Henry Flood, a good-looking boy, and Bridget Flood, his mother, were placed at the bar on a charge of having stolen a quantity of fruit. Mr. Levy said be was partner in the house of Levy and Co., fruit merchants, North John-street, and their warehouse had a door to a cellar in Prince's-street. Between four and five o'clock on Saturday afternoon, he sent the prisoner, who was in his service, to the cellar for a glass of water, and lie went ac cordingly. It appeared from the other evidence, that on coining out with the water, he was seen by some police officer who was watching their motions from the warehouse, to make motions to his mother, who came out of the cellar with a basket in her hand. She was followed, and in the basket were found about 14 lb. of raisins and a broken raisin box. The raisins were muscatels, similar to some in the warehouse, and the box was also like the other package, but Mr. Levy would nut undertake to swear positively to their identity. The boy, he said, had been in his service for two years, and received 3s. 6d. a-week. He had conducted him self so well hitherto that he (Mr. L.) had taken a warm in terest in his behalf, had paid for his clothing awl schooling, and even taken him to his house in Aigburth on leisure days. He felt sorry for the lad, as lie believed he had been led astray by his mother. The latter said she knew nothing about the raisins—she had got them in Temple-court. Mr. Rushton strrongly remarked on the atrocity of the another in corrupting her own child, and committed both prisoners for trial. THE LYCEUM NEWS.ROOM.—This room has recently bean improved and.beautified, in a manner so judicious as to render it one of the most convenient and agreeable " news marts" in the town. There was previously but one common entrance from the façade in Bold-street, to the news-room, the library, and the rooms appropriated to lectures, exhibi tions of paintings, &c.—there being but one flight of (a few) steps between two of the lonic columns. Two additional sets of steps are now formed between the bases of the columns, as entrances to the entire building; and this, from the multiplicity of visitors, is found to be a great convenience, by obviating the frequently disagreable jostling of personal encounter in passing to and fro, The entrance to the news room, from the west end of the colonnade, and also that from the interior near the library door, are done away with ; and a large folding door, facing the colonnade, is placed. at the west end of, and into, the masters' room; affording a more direct entree. This door, as well as an inner folding door from the latter into the news-room, is of solid mahogany, handsomely punned, and French polished. The upper long panel in each half of these doors is of plate glass, of five feet in height, by 16 inches in width. On entering the news room, those who have before seen, and necessarily admired it—from its neatness, cheerfulness, and extent—will never thele,s admit that it greatly surpasses its former self in chaste but elegant decoration, in superior ventillation, in furniture, and in ample provision of gas. The room is of an oblong square form, with a recess on the east side, and is 66 feet in length by 48 in breadth. The walls are empa nelled, and surmounted by a cornice corresponding with the architectural style of the exterior. The height is great, and the roof forms a segment, divided into panelled compart ments. The recess is also topped by an empanelled seg ment, at right angles with the general roof. Fine hand some bronze chandeliers (for the gas) are pended from the roof along the whole length, the centre one larger than the others, and these supply after dark an ample volume of light for the students of the broad-sheet, There are circular ornaments in relief in the middle of the room, surrounding the gas pipes : these are foliated, delicately e n _ riched by gilding on the mouldings and outer parts of the , foliage, and are highly decorative, apart front all approach to gaudiness. The tables and reading desks are numerous arid. commodious, and sufficiently distant from each other, to afford abundance of space for the promenade. There are two new oval mahogany tables in the recess ; and the old chairs, which were somewhat irksome in use, are all replaced by handsome massive arm-chairs, of polished mahogany, with circular backs, affording to visitors almost all the luxury of stuffed arrn-chairs. In One, the alterations though not of great magnitude, are evidently most effective, both in appearance and in use, and reflect great credit on the taste and judgment of the Committee of Management—Messrs. Samuel Holme, Richard .Saunders, - Robert Clayv and John Paton. We should add that a great improvement has-a 150... bean introduced in the ventilation of the room, by gratings along the centre of the door, which freely admit a current of fresh air without causing exposure ,to what may be termed draughts.

There is now in Lodge-lane, TOxtetlipark—a very delightful locality in the neighbourhood of the town—new and interesting works for the making of ropes, cables, &c., from both Russia and Manilla hemp, recently established by Messrs. Hutche- Son and Jarvie, and in which the yarn spinning machine is on the principle patented .by. Messrs. Craig. and Jarvie, of Glasgow, and the only one at wor k . i u t h e . ki ng d om . We were, on Saturday, politely shown through the works, trod were much' gratified by witnessing the whole of the opera tions, from the spreading of the raw material to the comple tion of the process—which is accomplished in a much shorter space of time the ordinary mode, while the yarn produced is more even and perfect. The entire machinery is driven by a handsome steam-engine of twenty horse-power in a detached building ; and there. is . a covered rope-walk, on a dead level, laid with lines of railway, and upwards of 100 fathoms in length. The machinery for preparation is on the same principle as that in use in most of our improved roperies ; but it is finished in a superior manner— having all the nicety and brightness of a piece of clock-work. It resembles, in operation, the machines employed for a parallel purpose in cotton factories—particularly ill its throwing off the material in roves or " slivers," into cans placed on the groUnd to receive it. The hemp first passes through the " spreading machine,'" over sliding or dropping bars, armed with teeth like heckles, and revolving on endless brass chains, passing round two internal rollers. The roves. three in number —are passed on these heckles, under large roller' covered with strong leather, and fro:a which, finely equalized, it falls softly into the cans. The hemp, before being subjected to this first Process, is weighed out in half-pounds; and the machine is fed by a girl, who, to give it an equal supply, is l guided by an indicator,' with a clock face, the Movement of which accommodates itself to the velocity of the work foe the 'time being. The roves are then taken to the " spinning frame," in which the principal novelty of the inventors consists ; and which is a most ingenious piece of mechanism, admirably adapted for producing a' smooth, even, and glossy thread, or yarn—the grand desideratum in rope spinning. The carriage is the same in the first working' part as the spreading-carriage; And the roves, after passing over the dropping-needles, or slides:, and also under a longer roller, are drawn, through a horizontal range of metallic taps, or tubes, the miter . part formed of two pieces, the upper one of which; by means of a spring, forms a nipper, and answering, in pressing and attenuating the yarn, the fingers of the operator in the ordinah,mariner of spinning from a fibrous substance. Continlinog with this spinning-nipper is another tube, split, as it were, in two, with the upper part moveable, and pressed down with an equal force by a small lever, to the end of which a weight is at tached. This tube is lined with a rag of any sort of woollen cloth, as a smoother; and the yarn is drawn from it in a perfect state, and much more equal and glossy than by hand ; the film, or bristles, of the staple thrown out by the centri-- fugal force in twisting, after the hand, has left it, in bobbin and fiy-spinning being almost wholly obviated. The spinning -machine produces 8 threads simultaneously, from a many roves ; and accomplishes, with but three per sons to attend it (one of them a female) as much within a given time as could be spun by sixteen men. The carriage that draws out the thread moves along the railway in precise unison with the velocity of the spinning, and the delivery. The four wheels of the carriage are, by an ingenious applica tion, put in tnotiog by connection with the machinery, so that it runs along to meet every emergency—having sufficient hold of the rails by its own weight. A ground rope, or a wheel running on a toothedrack (beth inconvenient) are, therefore, dispensed with. After 100 fathoms are spun, (of , six yarns simultaneously), the whole is wound upon a common large warpet's reel at the further end of the shed, whence it is taken off in " hauls," or large hanks, and is then ready either for tarring, if it be for ships' use, or for at once being formed into strands for white rope. The speed at which the spinning machine may be worked is almost unlimited. The steam was not well up when we saw it; but eight fine yarns of Manilla hemp, each of 100 fathoms in length, were spun by it in less than six minutes. The tarring machine on the works is on the best principle. For the information of the uninitiated, we may state that the usual portion of tar put into ropes for ships, is about a fifth part of the weight of the rope when completed, or one fourth of the yarn before it is added. When the yarn is spun, the " the haul" is taken from the further end of the shed to another large warper's reel at the other, and is wound upon large bobbins placed on horizontal spindles, and turned by the engine. When the bobbins are filled, a num-' her of them, proportioned to the size of the rope required, are put into a framework called " the bobbin bank." The yarns are then passed from them through the " register plates,"—iron plates perforated in circles for forming:the strands, and thence through iron tubes, so contrived that each thread in the respective strand, when twisted, has an equal tension on being put to the strain. This is a great improvement on the old fashion, by which all the threads in a strand were of equal length, stretched out, and compacted by twisting. It followed that the centre threads were but twisted:in nearly a straight line, while those outside had, in the completion of the opera tion to "go the round" all along, like a cork-screw. A strain put on a rope made in this way inevitably fell almost exclusively on the outside yarns of each strand, and these would break first, before the interior yarns were put to much stress. By the present plan a n equa l tens i on i s put, ()priori, upon every thread. The apparatus for laying the strands is as efficient and.rapid in its operation as the other parts of the machinery, and is worked with great faci lity. It will lay two ropes at a time. The ropes produced, from best bower, cables to clothes-lines, are beautifully per fect, and have a glossy and silky appearance, which we h ave never seen equalled at any other manufactory. Notwith standing the "expertness" of the machinery,. It num _ ber of hands, both male and female, are employed.nt this establishment ; and we understand it has .been visited and much admired by many .gentlemen in tllf4Jrade,,,,smmeis as by others who are interested in improiTinen4rirceordage. We cordially wish Messrsjitteheson and JareteKy suc, cess. LIVER-4)61i AIIDSUNIMiICSESSIONS The MidsumrnerSesslons of tbefPeace for the Borough of Liverpool commenced yesterday,. before James Clarke, Esq., Recorder, The calendar is very tenvy,xontaining the names of no less than 150 persons for trial on charges of felony and misdemeanour. The following gentlemen were sworn the Grand Jury : NrcnotAs ROSICELL, Esq., merchant, Chapel-st., foreman, Joseph Brereton, timber merchant, Jordan-street, Henry Glyn, merchant, Exchange-street East, Joshua. Heap, broker, North John-street, Isaac Hutchinson, merchant, Nile-street, A. Hurtz, manufacturing chemist, Upper Stanhope-street, William Logan, anchor smith, Bath-street, Robert Livingston, merchant, Chadwick-street, John Mather, merchant, Ivlount-pleasant, Benjamin Platt, jun., merchant, Upper Parliament-street, William Pickering, merchant, Breck-road, Everton, NATni. Fothergill Robinson, hide broker, Prince Edwin-st. Thomas R. Robinson, wine merchant, Hatton-garden, William Rotherham, merchant, Exchange-street West, James Stringer, merchant, Seel -street, James Sergeant, broker, Oldhall-street, James Stitt, iron merchant, Islington, J. A. Tinne, merchant, Exchange-alley North, John Tomlinson, corn merchant, Nile-street, John Twiname, corn merchant, Duke-street, John Worrall, shipowner, Salthouse Dock. The Clerk of the Peace having read the. Queen's procla mation against vice, profaneness, and immorality, The Riceortosn proceeded to deliver the charge to the Grand Jury. He was Sorry to tell them that the calendar, in point of numbers, was a very ser i ous ca l en d ar i n d ee d ; but still the great majority of the cases were of a simple na. ture, and would not require any very laborious investigation on their parts. If,. however, contrary to his expectation, they should meet with any difficulties, and they would have the goodness to communicate them to the court, he would endeavour, as far as he. could, to remove those difficulties. He was sorry to observe again a class of cases in the calen dar which always gave him great pain, namely, embezzle. ment by confidential clerks. There were two or three cases of that description for trial, which, he was sorry to say, were of rather an aggravated nature. Offences of this description were never caused by distress; the parties were always in valuable situations, receiving large.surus of money from their employers; therefore it was idle to .set up the plea.of dis tress in extenuation of the offence. In. fact, it was the want of principle and the absence of integrity which led young men to commit this crime. He had already observed that the calendar was very full, and one reason why it was so was that imprisonment was found of no good at all. All the gaols in the kingdom .were' crowded, and the parties came out of them worse than they went in ; and they would not be surprised when he told them that one-half of the prison ers to come before them had been convicted over and over again. Education in gaols,though it was of some use, did not terminate in those good consequences which one would naturally expect. There were excellent masters and religi ous and pious chaplains, yet still their fruits were not of that description which the country would wish, for parties came out of gaol with a determination to renew their crimes, and they did renew them with very great vigour ; their lie bits were rendered worse, whilst their powers of committing crime were much increased. They had just heard the royal proclamation read by the Clerk of the Peace against vice, profaneness, and immorality; and they were awiire that an act of parliament had been recently passed requiring public houses in this borough to be closed from twelve o'clock on Saturday night till one the next day. They would all agree with him that thiS _provision was quite in accordance with the spirit of her Majesty's proclaination, and that if that clause had not been enacted by the legislature the royal proclamation would have become a mere idle form of words. r rhe spirit of her Majesty's proclamation could not be carried into effect unless public-houses were so closed ; therefore, as the cause of morality, the cause of religion, and the comforts of the poor themselves were concerned in this clause, he was very glad to see it enacted by the legislature. The learried Recorder closed his charge by recommending the Grand Jury to put themselves in possession of the act recently passed, by which the law between F rinci p a l and agent is very materially altered ; and having dwelt on the import ance o f mercantile men making themselves acquainted with its pro visions, he dismissed the Grand Jury to their labours. and shortly The Grand Jury then retirod it afterwards they he trials im me di gtely sent's few bills in,to court, corn menced, but none of the cases tried yesterday possessed the slightest public interest. The calendar, es before statetVcontains the names of 150 parties for trial. Of these 46 are totally unable either to read or write ; only 14 can read and write well ; 62 can read and write imperfectly ; and 28 can read imperfectly, THE MECHANICS' INSTITUTION, . , . The exhibition at this institution is about to be brought to a close.

We observed some splendid carpets of Whytock's manufacture-, deposited by Mr. Urquhart, which show what an advance has been m ade in this department of the manufacture of our country. These carpets, in our opinion, far, excel those of famed Turkey, both for colour, texture, pile, and substance. , Tne origin _ buried in obscurity. There is no qinstion that tie! 1 were • well acquainted with it, and, in all probability, knowledge to the Hebrews. We find it Exodus,- " Every . wise-hearted . .man amopg them th wrought the work of the Tabernacle, made ten curtains o fine twined linen, and blue and purple and scarlet, vitl cherubim of cunning work." It is further mentioned, tha gold and silver were beaten into thin plates, and cut inti wires, and worked into the " fine linen and cunning work.' The idolatrous Jewish women are stated to have been , em. ployed in working hangings for the grove.. Plautus, Lucre tins, Pliny, and other ancient authors,' mention in theii works, that, Babylon was celebrated for, the Pictures wover together in various splendid eoloUrs. DreSses of tin .apestry is almost, inileei nocients also were decorated with designs; for we find Eneas giving a robe_ to, cloanthos, on which the story of Gany me d e was represen t e d: In the 'time_ of &Amnon, and indeed at various periods, nlenticified . in the 'sacred writings, •we find the women eMplOYed in' constructing tapestry. Ovid tells us of Arachne, the daughter of Limon, the dyer of Colophon, who was extremely 'expert with her needle. She is spoken of as challenging 'Minerva to -a contest ; the goddess, however, being a better sewer, reaped the victory, whereupon Arachne hanged herself, and was changed into a spider. The subjects °flier work are said to have been, the loves of Jupiter with Europa, Leda, Antiope, Astoria, Dana;, and. Alcmena. Homer and Ovid tell us of Venelope, the wife of Ulysses, being greatly skilled in the art of embroidery. -To putnff her suitors during her husband's absence at the Trojan.war, she wove and unwove a piece oftapestry day by day, promising to decide upon one of them when it was finished. The Normans were well ac quainted with the art of embroidery, for we find mention made in their time of several fine specimens. There is some beautiful tapestry still kept in the Cathedral of Bayeux, which is supposed to have originated with them. In a Saxon poem, entitled " Beowulf," we find mention made of ." the web on the walls." Many of the Saxon writers notice the tapes tries in the houses of their wealthy countrymen. During tire time of Henry the Eighth it was greatly in vogue in this country. In many of our, cathedrals and churches are spe cimens of tapestry, of a very beautiful description. In Chester Cathedral there is a fine specimen, said to have been worked by the nuns of St. Werburgh : this must be at least 800 years old. If our time and spee would permit, we might, no doubt, bring forward many interesting porticu.... lars of this art. In the room we have alluded to, some very beautiful specimens, .executed by Miss Lucas, of Bold street, will be greatly admired. THE NORTH BRITONS' SOCIETY Yesterday evening, the members of this thriving society, to the number of about eighty, assembled at the York Hotel, to celebrate their anniversary by a dinner—the day being also the anniversary of the union between England and Scotland. 'Mr. WIIATMOVGEI ably occupied the chair, and Mr. CoLa acted with equal efficiency as vice-Chairman. The dinner was sumptuous, and waS admitted by all who were present to have been got up in Mr. Hamer's best style. On the cloth being withdrawn,. a number of loyal toasts were proposed, and drank with enthusiasm, including "The Qiieen ;' " The Prince of Wales ;" " The Queen Dowager, and the rest of the Royal, Family ;" and " The Army and Navy ;" which we.e followed by appropriate songs. " The Ladies, or Lancashire Witches" was next given, followed by "The immortal memory of Buros,.Rnrusay, and Scott," by the vice -chairman—to which the sentiment was attached— " Hang down your heads, ye hills ; greet out ye springs! No more upon your braes the minstrel sings." On the chairman's health being proposed by Mr. BIRCH_ ALL, and drank with enthusiasm, he returned thanks in a brief but feeling and forcible manner, which called d own the wenn plaudits of the assembly. The health of Dr. Marshall, who is employed professionally by the society, was eloquently responded to by that gentleman, whose remarks were re ceived with great applause—every member pre sen t b e i ng satisfied with his zealous and skilful attention to the invalid members. " The Press," with some encomiums on its in fluence on society, was responded to by Mr. J. S. Walker. A variety'of toasts and sentiments succeeded, prefaced by spirited and adequate addresses, and followed:by appropriate• and humourous songs; and,-national predilections apart, our worthy countrymen of the northern part of our " tight little island" (many of whom showed the tartan of their clans in their clans in their apparel), evinced that loyalty and good fellowship, which, in spite of distinctions of opinion on some points, showed that— ' " A man's a man for a' that!" This Benefit Society was instituted' so far back as 1811, and is conducted in a manner which has hitherto been highly successful, and that entitles it to the warmest support of all " brother Scots." TOXTETH PARK OPERATIVE PROTESTANT ASSOCIATION L A crowded meeting of the members and friends of the Toxteth-park Operative Protestant Association was held last evening, in Toxteth Hall , Mill-street. Amongst those pre , sent, we observed the Rev. Hugh M'Neile, the Rev. Thos. Nolan, the Rev. F. Parry, the Rev. Mr. Butler (Incumbent of St. Thomas's, Warwick-street), Mr. Alexander Smith, jun., Mr. Richard Harbord, Mr. John Sheppard, &c., &c. The Rev. Hugh M`Neile, president of the association, took the chair; and the proceedings having been opened with prayer by the Rev. Thos. Nolan, The CHAIRMAN said—Friends and brethren, surrounded as I see myself by gentlemen who take a lively interest in our good cause, and who are more immediately connected with your locality in this town than I am, I might content myself, as your president, with a few introductory remarks, and then call upon those gentlemen who are to follow me, to enter more at large upon the subject now before us. But there are two or three topics upon which I am anxious to address a few words to you at this time ; therefore, I must claim your indulgence whilst I trespass for a few moments upon your time. In the first place, then, I wish to congra tulate you on the highly flattering, because well-deserved, compliment which you have received from the mayor and magistrates of this borough. Nothing can be more honour able to your known peacefulness, decorum, and respecta bility; to you renlightened enjoyment of freedom among your selveS, and your high-minded forbearance under even the abuse of freedom by others. Some of you may have imagined that upon a late oceasiou you were ill-treated, and you,may now be at a loss to conjecture what 1,411.14,•t0, or. what I mean. I will make myself plain ; but,,:fn order to do so, I must go back a few months, and refer to the direct facts of the case, late occurrences having supplied only a confirming and illustrating contrast. (Hear, hear.) In the beginning of last March, it was well and widely known, that a large party procession, with party bannera, mid other irritating exhibitions, was to take place on. the pith of that month. Much was said, much was written e and much was pri n t e d upon that subj ec t. Th e mayor and. magistrates could not have been in ignorance of it; but what was their conduct? Most just and proper, and highly complimentary to you. (Hear, hear.) , They knew perfectly well that a procession, however ostentatious and irritating in itself, would not endanger the peace of the town, nor the person or property of any man in the town, if it were in no way molested or interrupted in its course. They knew that disturbance never begins with those who walk upon such an oc •asion, but with those who attack the walkers. (near.) T iev' gave you credit for such an enlarged view of the liberality of the sub ject, that even with a processiou before your eyes, displaying treasonable banners, instigating to the dismemberment of the United Empire —still you would , not interrupt or molest that procession. (Hear.) Accordingly they did not inter fere; they put out no manifesto against the procession —no request thatthe procession should not tak e place. As the parties who were to walk were Roman Catholics, and as disturbance does not arise with the walkers, but with the attackers, and they knew that you would not attack, tnerefore they knew there was no occasion to stop that procession. (Hear,) They treated that procession, as they would treat any other child ish or mischievous exhibition in the streets, taking care to keep a watch Upon the performers that 'they did no harm, but not anticipating the slightest disturbance from the spec tators. (Hear.) The procession took place, and you justi fied the confidence that was repoSed . in you: you attacked no . man ;. you molested no man ; yoti assailed no man ; all was peace and quietness, very much to •your credit, and highly creditable to the discernment of your magistrates. (Hear.) These are the direct facts. Then comes a contrast, a con firming and an illustrating contrast. In the beginning of this present month of July, it was well and widely known that there was likely to be a party procession with party colours and other irritating demonstrations to take place upon the 12th of this month. (Hear, hear, and cheers.) Much was said about it, much was written, and much was printed. The magistrates were of course aware of it, and the Mayor. What did they do? Again, their conduct was most just and correct, and highly creditable to you, and creditable, I must repeat, to their own discernment of the . . men they bad to deal with. (Cheers.) They knew that disturbance does not begin with them that walk, but with them that attack the walkers; and, as in this case it was Protestants that were to, walk, they knew the , peace was in danger, not from the walkers, but from the spectators. "(Hear, boar.) Do you not see. (Cheers.) And what did they do ? (Hear, hear, and cheers.) Why, they Interfered ; they put out a manifesto against the procession ; and they requested their Protestant friends not to walk. • Again; highly to your credit, we are indebted for the peace of the town to you—first of all for not interfering with .the Roman Catholic procession on the 17th of March, and then for not having a procession upon the 12th of July. (Hear, hear.) Twice you have dis- Ippointed the enemies of good .order ; twice you have kept . . . tfiC peace of the town ; and twice you have entitled your selves to the thanks of your fellow-citizens. Now, do not forget this when next March comes. (Cheers.) Do not en gage in—do not be tempted by any plausible but false friend to join in—a demand that their procession should be stopped next March, because yours was stopped—that would be put ting yourselves upon a level with them. (Hear.) The cases are not parallel, because you can be quiet under provocation, and they cannot, therefore the Christian rule will here apply, and this is my instruction to you upon the whole matter, " Ye that are strong ought to bear the infir mities of the weak, and not to please yourselves." (Cheers.) In the second place I have to inform you that Mr. Colquhoun is a member of parliament! (Loud cheers.) After a brief investigation he has been declared duly elected for Newcastle-under-Lyme. However, heidid not take his seat soon enough, I regret to say, to supply the needful in formation during the late debate upon the subject of May nooth College. (Hear.) It has always appeared to the a very unwise and very injudicious course to select the time for voting money to that College as the time for raising a de bate about the College. It would surely be a wiser course, a course more becoming the advocates and the cause, to ask leave to bring in a bill concerning the laws affecting that institution, and concerning the necessity of inquiring into the nature of the instructions inculcated in that seminary—(hear, hear.)—such a bill as Mr. Colquhoun asked leave to bring in, and got leave to bring in; for you must be informed if you do not remember, or did not know, that he got permission last session to bring in the bill, and now he is in the proper place to avail himself of it. (hear.) Thus I have frequently urged upon you, and en deavoured to persuade you to make it the prayer of your petition, with regard to Maynooth College, not the withdrawal of the grant in the first place, but an enquiry into the state of the law, and into the character of the instruction given. In the late debate upon that subject, her Majesty's Chief Secretary for Ireland, is reported to have said " the charges made against the Institution ought to be substantiated be fore they are circulated." I am sorry the noble lord was not asked, and I venture now most respectfully, to ask him — though it is far off, and he may never hear the question—what species of proof he requires? " Thecharges madeagainst the In stitution ought to be substantiated before they arecirculated !" The charges made against that institution of inculcating doc trines and practices alike opposed to the interests of good morals and hostile to every Protestant government, were advanced upon the authority of the class books used in the college itself—class books retarned by the professors of the college, in reply to an inquiry upon the subject parlia mentary commissioners. Is not that proof ? ( Hear, hear.) id ask, how . We have But these charges, we are told, " should be substantiated , before they are Circulated ! " I wog- . . their circulation. no means of substantiating them but have not been denied, of (Hear.) We have circulated them, and by they have not been denied: the noble Iprd himself does not attempt to deny them. (Hear.) When I of Mr .

But Lord Elliot will answer any invites Lis to substantiate our charges. Well, aga i n I ask the noble lord desire? Would he what species of proof does . circulating have those who were Wive . in..these charges to examination, in order to submit to a personal exa _ .... I shall not enter into the particulars up o n t h e . present occ as i on , with regar d to ' what is tiint. , ,ht - at' May uooth ; it is sufficient that 1 have told the noble se cretary, first of all, that if he wants. fUrther proof—or, rather, if he wants the proof we have given exhibited in a different fOrrn—we arelf --t. - • ''t it may ~any to give 11; in any way that —,oi good for hi m to requ i re ; a n d secon dl y , to expostulate with him upon having circulated sucih a . charge against us—for I take the liberty of 'enumerating my,elf among those who ha ve ' Ci rcu l a t e d t h es e . charges (che(:i.s)--' for he has- circulated a grave charge .

Air. Councillor HARBOR') seconded the motion, and it was adopted. Several _other speeches were afterwards made, and the proceedings terminated about ten o'clock. CORRESPONDENCE POPISH MASS-HOUSE, OLD SWAN, TO THE _EDITOR OF THE LIVERPOOL STANDARD, will have been seen that the above house of idolatry is to be opened on Thursday, 4th August; and particular atten tion should be paid to the placard announcing the same, for it is, therein stated that admission is to be by a 'charge of ss. 6d. and 7s. 6d. ; and it is illegal that any' charge should be made for entry into a place of public worship, under a heavy fine. Now, we are vastly too apt to pass over the various inno vations made by Papists of the present day. The said Mass-house has been built with a steeple, against LAW! The said Mass-house has a peal of bells, against Law ! And now, a charge, and a heavy one too, is to be paid for admission, AGAINST LAW ! We trust our Protestant associations will be on the alert, and watch the wily proceedings of these bachelor priests. It is contrary to law that money should be paid for admis sion to any place of worship ! It is contrary to hi* that a Popish Chapel should have a steeple! It is contrary to 10that a peal of bells should be used in a Popish Chapel ; and yet theseL things are allowed without restraint. Such thingS should not be. Yours, &c .

FATAL. ACCIDENT. — On Wednesday last, a man of the name of Evan Morris, whilst engaged in sinking a well near Merthyr Tydfil, was suffocated by foul air. ll e was h ear d to cry for assistance, and a youth, of the age of 16, was let down to rescue him, and he also in a few minutes was lifeless. Measures were then taken to agitate the foul air and displace it from the bottom. when another person descended, and succeeded in bringing up the bodies, but all efforts to restore animation were fruitless. THE FASTING MAN. — Bernard Cavanagh, the fasting' man, who left his native village to speculate on the gullibility of the public—and a profitable speculation it was for some time, until the impostor was detected,--retnrned to his hi ther's house, near Swinford, on Saturday, and on Sunge e y made hi s appear ance i n the c h a pel of that town.
