DESCRIPTION OF ST. CEORCE'S HALL. THE LIVERPOOL STANDARD TUESDAY NEXT, OCTOBER 14th, WILL BE PRESENTED AN UNSTAMPED SUPPLEMENT SHEET, NEATLY PRINTED, Containing an elaborate ARCHITECTURAL DESCRIPTION of the above magnificent Building, and which will servo as a KEY TO THE DRAWING We this day present to our Readers The price of the STANDARD will be, as usual, 5(1.; but parties at a distance, requiring the Supplement, must remit an extra postaty.e-stamp. Copies of the DRAWING and SUPPLEMENT will be reserved for our Country Subscribers. TO CORRESPONDENTS In consequence of the great press of Adv er ti semen t s — an d th e early hour at which we have been compelled to go to press, in order to supply the enormous demand for the drawing of St. George's Hall, which we this day present to our readers —we have been obliged to withdraw several articles of an interesting character, and to considerably abridge others. We have also been compelled to alter the general arrangement of the paper this week. C. E. M.—lf her statement be true—which we very much doubt—she should have given us her name in confidence; but whether true or false, the part she has acted, according to her own admission, reflects no credit upon her, and we there fore decline to mix ourselves up, in any way, in the matter. It is needless for us to state that we are on principle strongly opposed to Roman Catholicism ; but that is no reason why we should admit into our columns a foul and unauthenticated calumny upon the Romish priesthood of Liverpool ; and if C. E. M. had stated her grievance to one of the rev. gen tlemen alluded to, we are sure she would have received redress. We shall be happy at all times to receive communications on subjects of local or general interest ; and if our frien•ls will be good enough to authenticate the same by their signa tures, for our own satisfaction, we shall feel obliged. titicrpoot -;-tanbarb+ TUESDAY MORNING, OCT. 7, 1851. THE JUDGE OF THE LIVERPOOL COUNTY COURT. IT is stated of a learned, amiable, and excellent judge, who still occupies a distinguiShed place on the English bench, that in a late trial of a noto rious criminal he requested his brother judge to preside, as he feared that his own patience would hardly stand the test of the prisoner's persevering impertinence ; and the dignifiea forbearance of Lord Cranworth, who tried the case, was the theme of general praise. In fact, judicial patience is quite as necessary as learning to every one that judges between man and man; arid such dignitaries should remember the lesson of,,St. Paul, that a great difference exists between what is " lawful" and what is " expedient." Of the impropriety of what Mr. Judge Ramshay has done, in the late cases of committal for contempt, there can be but one opinion. The committals, and the mode of them, all prove that Mr. Ramshay is not a man of judicial temperament, and, in plain English, is quite unfitted for his place. We are old enough to remember the chancellorship of Lord Brougham, when the streets of London were placarded with caricatures of, and libels upon, the chief magistrate under the Crown—his public character slandered, and his very person brought into contempt; but his lordship committed no man for contempt, though about his power there was no doubt, nor ever put the law in motion, except against the printer of the Morning Post for an attack purely personal. But it is useless discussing the disposi tion Mr. Ramshay has shewn ; let us inquire what is his power. In the first place, then, it is un doubted that the judge of any court of record (of which the County Court is one) may attach a per son and bring him before him for a contempt com mitted out of court (1 Lill. 305), and that this power has been frequently exercised. This con tempt, however, must have been committed against the judge, for something said or done in his capacity of judge, and not when he was merely acting as a private individual. Now nobody will pretend that Mr. Rarnshay was acting in his judicial capacity when he was entertaining his friends in - the court house ; or that Mr. Whitty, in remarking on his proceedings there, was remarking on his conduct as a judge. While Mr. Ramshay was upon the bench he was Judge of the County Court of Lan cashire, holden at Liverpool. When he quitted the bench he was Mr. Ramshay, and in the latter capacity had no privilege whatever. It is idle for him to say that he is allowed by the statute to be judge of whether or not he is insulted. Being a county ccurt judge, he must have been seven years at the bar (though we admit our ignorance of any distinction he ever achieved in the profession); and as a barrister he must know that the discretion given him of deciding what is contempt does not enable him to make that a contempt which is not so in law; and we venture to say that no other gentleman that wears a wig, of all in the Law List but Mr. Ramshay, will call Mr: Whitty's placard a empt. To the argument of Sir Geo. Stephen, . _ respecting the supposed necessity of a written war rant to arrest Mr. `ti kitty, we give no weight. If a contempt had been committed, Mr. Ramshay bad ver to send his officer by a verbal commission, to g the person in contempt before him ; and this sposes of the question as to the fining of Mr. Whitty the younger, for if the officers were justified in attempting the arrest, he was not justi- But no contempt in law fled in resisting them ~twas committed, and Mr. Ramsbay is therefore open to proceedings by Mr. Whitty, the conse quences of which must be exceedingly serious. " Ir. Whitty sued out a habeas corpus, we are I to think that Mr. Rarnshay's warrant -e been held insufficient, (it being abso would ha eiv nec sary that the matter of a contempt should he certain*), and that Mr. Whitty would have been discharged. As to the committal of those who applauded in court, there can be no doubt of Mr. Ramshay's jurisdiction. It is, however, deplorable that by any accident so important a town as Liverpool' should have its who seems to have studied the law more in the spirit of one of the counsel of James 11. than of 1 Debts' Court presided over by a gentleman the present day,—who seems to ifiquire not what he ought to do, but how much flie can do,—and who has allowed himself, by temper, to be drawn into the committal of an act grossly and palpably illegal. No part of editorial duty mofe painful than that which requires us to.. discuss the conduct of those who administer justice. 'Happily, in Eng land, the necessity seldom arises; but when it does arise, it is as obviously the duty of the Press to meet it, as it is its duty to avoid such discussion until it is forced into it. We.have no desire to afer any impertinence to the Judge of the Liver pool County Court, and we are conservative enough eve that such ofl•'icials are better left to the control of the constituted authorities ; but one fact is obvious, that the dignity of our County Court that there is at leastu large body of the people of Liverpool who have not con fidence in th e court; and that, in fact, the local tribunal of the ' second town in the British empireianswers the pur pose of its foundation worse .than,any other court *-The Court of Queen's Bench has p6O - ; tb commit, by rule without setting out the cati;e Coinmitrnent, but er was only used in the despolaotinios•bf Charles I. - in the country. Mr. Ramshay's proceedings of course, compel next session the prtssir of "a strictly declaratory clause in the County pour? Act, protecting the Press of the country frOm the personal vengeance of such people as County' Comit Judges—who, as a general rule, are a class who have failed at the bar, and are placed in their office by the connexion of family or service, or by the charity of the Chancellor. THE LIVERPOOL STANDARD, TUESDAY, OCTOBER 7, 1851 THE QUEEN IN LIVERPOOL. IF it is the fate of Royal personages always td be flattered, it is not less the fate of those who speak sincerely of the virtues of a Reigning Monarch to be charged with adulaticn. In all truth and sincerity, however, the Press of Britain is fully justified in the kind and loyal feeling of attachment to the person of our Queen that may be seen icl every page of the periodical literature of the country. Limited as the Monarchy of England is; it is still in the power of the Crown to impress upon the Government of the day the personal qualities of the Sovereign; and, surely, there never existed. a more perfect mixture of mercy and firmness, dignity and consideration, than what is shown in the Court of England under Queen Victoria. The times upon which cur Queen has fallen are not those that will afford many subjects of declamation to the historian, so true it is that prosperity affords few stirring topics. With a dominion reaching to an extent, short of which Alexander wept for worlds to conquer, Queen Victoria is at peace with all Christendom. And it is not " The peace that James the Peaceful gave," but a peace founded on the belief of other nations; that our treaties, which have been made in honour, will be maintained with courage—a peace unlikely to be disturbed but by such savage tribes as those of Scinde or of Kaffraria. Elizabeth bad the mighty honour of being the champion of all pressed for conscience sake; but her reign was not without the reproach of overlooking, at times, the claims of conscience. Anne was the arbitress of the family quarrels of the Royal Houses of Europe, and she, too, forgot that private interest and public morality were often incompatible. It has been, however, reserved for Victoria to offer, in the midst of an universal political storm, a home to the refugees of Europe, and an arbitration of the great disputes that shake the frame of society throughout the entire Old World. While other sovereigns are providing against future or revenging past dis.l loyalty, She is reigning over a people of whom it might be said with truth, as Burke said about Marie Antoinette, in Irish eloquence, that at an insult to her name "a thousand swords would spring from their scabbards." And surely, when She who rules r,s looks round on the blood-thirsty despotisms of Europe, from the absolute Austrian Monarchy to the absolute French Republic, she cannot but feel that Her mild and temperate government has given her people and herself reason to believe the truth of the poet's assertion, that-- , " The tribute most dear to a head that is Royal, Is that from a heart that loves Liberty too." Among all the evidences of the greatness of her realm, her Majesty can find none to rival the town she comes on Thursday to visit. Christendom cannot show, and fiction never fancied, so great a progress in the space of fourscore years. Of our British Constitution and Government, one might use in Liverpool the words of Johnson upon Wren, in his own cathedral—" Si monumentum quaeris cueumspiee !" And great municipal power has ceased to be the encouragement of discontent. On the contrary, in her mighty town of Liverpool, Her Majesty is as sincerely loved as in the remotest of rural hamlets, and she has never heard a more sincere welcome than she will hear on Thursday, in the cry of " God save the Queen !" " As half in shade and half in sun The world upon its course advances, Oh ! may the side that's shone upon Be all that ever meets her glances !" ARRANGEMENTS FOR THE ROYAL VISIT. In our next publication it will be our pleasing duty to place on record the affectionate and loyal demonstrations which will most assuredly be manifested on Thursday next, on the occasion of the visit of our most gracious Sovereign. The arrangements for the auspicious event may now be said to be completed, or nearly so, and the only thing that remains to be done is to carry them into execution. Doubtless the proceedings of the day will be of the most gorgeous description ; the only thing, so far as human probability goes, upon which all depends, is a smiling sky, and if this be so, the smiles from below will well rival with it. HER MAJESTY AT LANCASTER. Her Majesty and the royal family would leave their residence at Balmoral this morning, at eight o'clock, and arrive at Edinburgh in the evening, between 6 and 7. The royal party would rest at Holyrood for the night, starting to-morrow morning southward. Her Majesty is expected at Lancaster, where she will spend an hour in inspecting the ancient castle, about half-past one o'clock.: Her Majesty will be received by the Mayor and Corporation. Her Majesty, after partaking of a private luncheon, will return to the railway station about three o'clock. After, her Majesty's departure, the Mayor and Corporation wilt proceed to the Castle-park, where the Mayor will plant an oak tree, in commemoration of her Majesty's gracioui visit, and to be called " The Queen's Oak." The arrange ments for the observance of order are very similar to those to be adopted in Liverpool, and there is to be a public dinner and a display of fireworks in the evening. It is requested by the Mayor that the day be observed as a general holiday and day of rejoicing by all classes within the borough. The Venerable Archdeacon Brooks will present the address of the county magistrates, and the Mayor that of the Corporation. ARRANGEMENTS AT CROXTETH, The Queen will alight, from the London and North- Western Railway. at Rainhill station, where pre parations are making for her reception. It is her Majesty's desire to pass through the noble park at Knowsley ; and her route, therefore, will be through the through the Eccleston gate, and so over the Croxteth meadows to the hall of the Earl of Sefton. The royal party are to be joined at the Parkside junction by the Earl and Countess of Ellesmere, and by the Earl of Derby and his Countess, who are to be the guests of the Earl of Sefton on Wednesday evening. At Croxteth-hall there are to be two dinner-parties to morrow (Wednesday) evening —one consisting of twenty four, the other of twelve, guests. The Queen will dine with the larger party. The gentry of the neighbourhood are also invited to lunch by the Earl of Sefton ; and the tenants, numbering about 500, are to be entertained beneath a large marquee, which is to be erected on one of the lawns. Each of the tenants is invited to bring his wife or (laughter. At the village of West Derby it is proposed to roast an ox and two sheep, with suitable trimmings, for the labour ing classes. _ There are to he gay doings at Knowsley, as well as at Croxteth, on Wednesday; and the tenantry of the Earl of Derby are to be made welcome in the great hall in honour of the occasion. A triumphal arch is in course of erection at the entrance to Prescot. Barriers are also being erected to keep off the crowd as her Majesty proceeds from Rainhill to Knowsley park. The Queen is to be escorted by a troop of the 16th Lancers. A large body of the county police will also be in attendance to preserve order. ' Mrs. Atkins has erected a spacious gallery for the accommodation of the public on the occasion of• the Queen's visit, the gardens being passed in the route. The holders of tickets for this platform will likewise be admitted to the gardens. Thi3 will be the first stage her Majesty will pass within the boundary of Liverpool; and she will, likewise, be honoured by a triumphal arch, to be erected under the superintendence of Mr. Edwin Atkins. THE RECEPTION IN LIVERPOOL The official programme (advertised in another column), will place our readers in full possession of all the ar rangements affecting Liverpool. The triumphal arch, of which plans were drawn by Mr. Newlands, the borough engineer, and which it was in con, temptation to erect at the boundary of the borough, where the mayor will meet her Majesty, has been abandoned". It was found that it could not be erected for the sum first named, £250, but that it would cost at least £3OO. I- The preparations, both in the interior and exterior of the Town Hall, are going forward with great alacrity. The interior of the building will present a very imposing sight',.: The grand staircase, which has been so generally admired,: has been repolished and cleaned by the artist, Mr..J.,3Y.. Ingram, of Birmingham, who undertook the work gra tuitously. It will be remembered that the staircase was painted in enamel and otherwise decorated by Mr.lngram on the occasion of Prince Albert's visit, five years ago. The ' great and smaller ball-rooms have been laid out by the surveyor, but before the ballot for places the Council has decided that the Mayor shall make his selection in regard to his own six tickets. A handsome balcony has been erected in front of the ball-room window of the Town_ hall, overlooking the Exchange flags. The Exchange square itself is being boarded off, so as to reserve the area, and admit a speedy construction of a covered way to the .Exchange Newsroom on the night of the ball. The works at St. George's-hall are progressing rapidly. The awning over the entrance was being put up on Fri . day ; and a statue of the late George Stephenson. which arrived in town but a short time before, was raised to the base beneath the great pediment ; it will be placed upon . the pedestal adjoining the churchyard. The correspond. ing pedestal is destined to support the statue of the late Sir Robert Peel. Her Malesty will approach the hall from the gate in Shaw's-brow, and proceed in her carriage along a drive temporarily prepared to the entrance opposite the Railway-station. The street at the north-east corner of St. George's Hall has been materially widened by the removal of the old wall, and the pathway, when completed, will form a fine bold succession to Lime-street. The official sub-committee of the Dock Committee for making arrangements for the reception of her Majesty 'reported on Thursday that, since the last meeting of the general committee, the Board of Ordance had sent ten brass chambers for the firing of the Royal salutes, and had authorised Captain Franklin. the officer commanding the detachment of the Royal Artillery, to furnish whatever might be necessary. The Royal salutes are to be fired from the north pier of George's Basin. Arrangements have been made with Mr. Benj. Edging ton, of Duke-street, Southwark, to erect the neces sary awnings and tents at the Landing-stage, and also to furnish a portion of the flags wanted for the decoration of the stage. The orders received by Mr. Edgington are as follows :—For the Larding-stage, 456 flags, consisting of royal standards and national flags ; two circular tents, of 36 feet diameter, and one octagon tent for the entrance to the stage ; 322 feet of awning for the two bridges, each 163 feet by 10 feet, are to be covered over, and the roofs to be lined with scarlet and white drapery, and on the floor of each is to be spread cocoa-nut matting; and there will be suspended two shields,—one the Dock Company's arms, and the other the Corporation arms.—The orders received affecting Croxteth Hall are, two marquees,—one of 116 feet by 36 ; this is to be lined with scarlet drapery, and the object of the marquee is to dine within it 500 ;persons. The other marquee, for a select party, is to be .36 feet by 18 feet. A royal standard and 10 other silk :flags are to he used as decorations. For the Manchester .Exchange, Mr. Edgiugton has also received orders for 100 :national, with 80 decorative flags, and 4 royal standards. Messrs. Garnock, Bibby, and Cu. are to furnish ano ther portion of the flags. The special sub-committee of the Dock Committee :recommend that flags should be placed on the Albert 'Dock Warehouses ; that a poll be erected and St. George's Ensign hoisted on each extremity, north and south, of the dock estate; that St. George's Ensign be also hoisted on Victoria Tower, and on the island at the entrance of the Canning half tide Basin ; that red Ensigns 'be hoisted on the arches of the gates on the west boun dary wall of the north docks, and the Union Jack on the dock master's office. Two Union Jacks to be hoisted on the North Battery. it is estimated that there will be no fewer than thirty :thousand flags displayed in the docks and on the river, on the occasion. The Manchester people are busy manufac turing a large supply of flags and banners, some of which 'will cost as much as £3O a piece ! The military arrangements on the occasion rest entirely with Lieutenant-General Cathcart, commanding officer of the district. At the meeting of the Dock Committee, on Thursday, the Chairman said he understood from Colonel York that the guard of honour and band would he on the plat. form of the Landing-stage when her Majesty embarked .and disembarked. The guard of honour would comprise 110 men, besides the band. When her Majesty disem barked, the guard of honour would go to the Town Hall to receive her there. The contract for erecting platforms on the parades has been taken by Mr. Thomas Haigh, at ss. 6d. per running yard, he removing all the materials. The parades are to be closed during the time of erecting the platforms, 'subject to admission for purposes of business. The judges' lodgings in St. Anne-street have been placed at the disposal of the Earl of Sefton for the accommodation .of some of his guests. The Council have resolved to invite the Duke of Wellington to visit Liverpool on this occasion. On Saturday afternoon, a special meeting of the Dock :Committee was held to consider the propriety of presenting an address to her Majesty on the occasion of her visit to the Mersey. The chairman read a letter which he had received from Mr. T. B. Horsfall, the chairman of the Chamber of Commerce, stating that he had received a note from Lord Grey, intimating that the Queen would receive an address from the Chamber either on embarking from or disembarking at the Landing-stage. He thought it necessary to inform Mr. Turner of this, as it might cause a re-arrangement of the tickets necessary. A discussion took place, in which Mr. Bigham and other gentlemen complained that the Chamber of Commerce had not treated the Dock Committee with proper respect in this .matter. Mr. Mason, the secretary, read a letter from the Dock Committee to Lord Grey, requesting permission to , present an address to her Majesty. The proposed address 'was read by Mr. North, the solicitor, and was in the usual tenor of such documents. It was adopted on the motion of Mr. Bold, seconded by Mr. Bigham. After the sail on the river, the address of the Corpora tion of Liverpool will be presented to her Majesty in the large hall-room in the Town-hall. The following is a complete list of the persons invited to be present on the occasion, exclusive of those invited by the councillors individually :—The bishop of the diocese and Mrs. Graham, two tickets; the lord-lieutenant and party, eleven; Lord and Lady Stanley, two; the high sheriff and party, two; the two rectors and their ladies, four ; the chaplain to the mayor, one; Mr. Wm. Brown, M.P., and Mrs. Brown, two ; the stipendiary and borough magistrates and wives (if any), fifty-three ; the two borough members and Mrs. Cardwell, three; the collector of customs and wife, two; Colonel Faulkner, one ; Lady Cathcart and lady and staff, five; field officers in Liverpool, three; naval officers hold ing appointments in Liverpool, three; officers of her Ma jesty's yacht, three ; Sir Edward and Lady Cust, two ; Mayor of Manchester and lady, two ; Captain Greig, one; gentlemen who have passed the chair, not being members of the Council, or otherwise entitled officially to tickets, five; Mr. Thornely, M.P., one; the Recorder, two; the Town-clerk, two ; the Clerk of the Peace, t wo ; the Sur veyor,one ; the Borough En g ineer, o n e ; the Treasurer, one. , Two tickets awarded to each of th e members of the Dock Committee give twenty-four tickets, and the sixty-four members of tha Council taking six each, 384, which, with twenty-seven placed at the disposal of the Mayor, make up the whole number of 552, Ladies are to appear in morning dress, and gentlemen in evening costume; the members of the corporate body wearing white cravats and vests. A discussion on the vexed subject of the distribution of tickets took place at the meeting of the Council, on Wed nesday. Mr. Bramley-Moore said he considered that the course pursued by the Council had been one characterised in a most remarkable degree by selfishness in appropria ting the whole of the tickets for the recep..ion of her Ma jesty to their own use and that of their families and friends. The room for the reception of the Queen would accommo date 552 people, exclusive of the places appropriated to the Council and the suite of her Majesty ; while the smaller ball-room would be arranged to accommodate 250. The consequence of this appropriation of tickets by the Council was, that a great many persons who had a right to be present on the occasion would be excluded. Not a single merchant of the town of Liverpool was invited to receive her Majesty as a merchant, not a single broker, not a single banker. -The Exchange Committee had placed 5,500 tickets at the disposal of the Council, but no invitation had been sent to a single individual belowing to the Exchange in return for this kindness. Mr. M'lver, who had presented them gratuitously with boats to view the only sight worth seeing, had neither received an invitation for himself nor his lady to be present at the reception of the Queen. Not one of the medical or legal gentlemen of the town had received an invitation. A great fuss had been made about the children of the Colle giate Institution, but neither Mr. Howson nor Mr. Dawson Turner, the principals of the two institutions which re flected so much honour on the town, had been thought of. Mr. Brarnley-Moore concluded by moving, that, instead of each member of the Council having six tickets at his disposal for the larger, and four for the smaller ball rooms, only three tickets be allotted to each for the large room, and that the remaining three, which altogether would make about 190 tickets, be placed in the hands of the Mayor, or of a small committee to be named by his worship, for distribution among the principal inhabitants of the town and gentry of the neighbourhood. Mr. Tobin seconded the proposition. After some discussion of a personal nature, the motion of Mr. Bramlcy-Moore was put to the muting, and negatived by a majority of 39 to 3. An amusing rumour prevailed in town, on Saturday, that the Earl of Sefton had made application to the Mayor for 400 tickets of admission to the Town Hall during the presentation of the address to her Majesty. It was stated that an intimation had been made to the effect, that, if the application was refused, his Lordship would use his influence to dissuade the Queen from calling at the Town We understand that Messrs. Willoughby have cour teously placed at the disposal of the dock committee their fine steamer, the Vernon, generally considered the fastest ferry-boat on the Mersey, for the accommodation of Mr. Jones, R.N., the marine sub-surveyor, who has charge of the river arrangements on the morning of the Queen's visit. She will be engaged in forming the line of steamers to be moored off the dock piers, inside of which the royal yacht and attendant suite of steamers will be steered during her Majesty's marine excursion. Tina ROYAL YACIITS.—The royal yachts arrived in the river on Saturday afternoon, after rather a boisterous passage from Holyhead, and proceeded to an anchorage in the Sloyne. TLe Fairy is moored just off Tranmere slip, at one of Messrs. W3lloughby's buoys, and the Victoria and Albert a little more to the southward, and farther out in the stream. During Sunday arid yesterday a great number of persons availed themselves of the opportunity afforded of viewing them by taking a trip in the Tranmere, Birkenhead, and Rock-Ferry steamers ; and, as Messrs. Willoughby's boats sail round theca nearly every trip, a very - good sight is obtained from them. We under - stand that steps aro being taken to give the children of the various public schools in Birkenhead an opportunity of witnessing the Queen's progress on the river. It is proposed to place them in line along- the shore in a field between Gleave's Hotel and Monks' Ferry, and afterwards to provide them with tea and bun loaves at the Town hall. In consequence of the Queen's visit, no cotton will be offered for sale on Thursday or Friday. HER MAJESTY'S GUARDS OF HONOUR One of the members suggests that a requisition be given to the members to appear in full dress, end thereby give effect and uniformity, in keeping with all the other arrangements. MEDAL OF THE QUEEN'S VISIT.—Mr. Walmesley, Of Lord-street, has submitted to our inspection a chaste medal, commemorative of her Majesty's visit on Thursday next. The medal has been struck by an eminent manu facturer in Birmingham, and is designed principally for the use of schools. WELCOME TO THE QUEEN ! BY MR. J. H. HALL Oh I bold have been our monarchs, chivalrous unto death; The battle-cry e'er found a voice e'en with their latest breath: And fearless too our island Queens, when foes have neared our coast— Britannia rules, Regina's self has bravely led the host, How nobly Boadicea trod the battle's iron car; And regally Caractacus, that fine old man of war, Maintained his kingly dignity when carried chained to Rome— The rough-and-ready majesty of Albion's island home. Oh gallant was King Harold when he charged with might and main The stalwart foe of Vikings, the ocean-quelling Dane ; Unflinchingly he lost the fight on Hastings' bloody field, And left his body on the plain—his soul could never yield, NVhen Richard of the Lion-heart the English flag unfurled, The gauntlet for supremacy against the world was hurled ; His ever was the foremost place, and, battle-axe in hand, He hew'd his name in Glory's fane, where Fame shall let it stand. And when indeed has kingly boast so ably been upheld— The valiant sons of ancient sires have never yet berm quelled; And the overgrowth of good and great to which this land gave ___ birth Her sturdy sons with supple arms have scattered through the earth. But yonder glides a " FAIRY" ship, some burthen of great store Is borne upon her gallant deck along the sea-girt shore; A thousand vessels follow on like billows on the tide, A million voices rend the air with shouts of joy and pride. Oh 1 what is the compelling pow'r that actuates the throng? E'en busy Commerce hushed awhile, th' admiring groups among, Stand rapt, surrounded by her sons, of ev'ry race and clime, And never was such unison since Chaos fled from Time. It is—sublime in might and truth—the Sea-Queen of our Isles, Whose pow'r rests on her people's faith, her pleasure on their smiles ; And nations, tired of envying, with one consent approve How truly great the unity of majesty and love. She comes to view her people's wealth—the Queen-bee of the hive— Where in the well-stored honeycomb ber toiling lieges thrive— A band of loyal devotees, who no allegiance own, Save Britain's right, and Britain's might, their Monarch, and her Throne. Then welcome! 0 thrice welcome! Victoria, to our shore! Three thousand times three thousand cheers, and then three thousand more, Shall rise in ceaseless plaudits from the animated scene Where the prayer of British hearts shall be, that God may save their Qv een. THE ROYAL VISIT TO MANCHESTER. The attempt to fill the Manchester Exchange at a guinea per head has proved a failure. There were 1,360 applications for tickets, and room for 3,000, and the Council, under these circumstances, hare determined to admit all the applicants free, and to fill the remaining seats by invitation. About 200 people are preparing to illuminate. It is thought that not less than two million people will line the route which her Majesty will take that day. The Town Council are by no means unanimous about wearing the robes ordered, and several appear determined not to be ruled by the majority. The steamer Mountaineer, 300 tons burthen, is about to commence plying between this port and Downpatrick, Killyleagh, Strangford, and Portaferry. DEATH FROM DRINKING.—On Sunday night, Jane Hopkins, of Mill-street East, was left in her house alone whilst in a state of drunkenness, and on the return of the inmates she was found dead. THEARCHITECTURAL AND ARCHIEOLOGICAL SOCIETY. —The first fortnightly meeting for the season of this society took place at the Royal Institution, Colquitt street, on Wednesday evening last, Mr. Picton in the chair. APOTHECARIES' HALL. —The following gentlemen passed their examination in the science and practice of medicine, and received certificates to practise, on Thurs day, October 2, 1851 :—Francis Nuttall, Bury, Lanca shire ; and James Parkinson Scowcroft, Bolton-le-Moors. MISS WHITN'ALL'S CONCERT.—Miss Whitnall's annual concert was given on Thursday evening, at, the Theatre Royal, the vocalists being Madame Clara Novello, Miss Whitnall, Mr. Miranda, and Mr. Frank Bodda ; violin, violin, M. Sivori ; flute, Mr. Percival. There was a fair, but not a crowded, attendance. The concert passed off well. FATAL ACCIDENT.—OD Friday last, as John Blewer, a boy, sixteen years of age, was playing near to Rankin's stone-delf, Devonshire-place, Everton, a large stone was being hoisted, when the chain broke. Part of the chain struck the unfortunate boy on the head, and so far in jured him as to cause death on the following day. ACCIDENT AND ROBBERY.—Mr. Simpson, the clerk of the Necropolis, on Saturday last fell from the top of the wall surrounding the burying ground, and received a com pound fracture of the thigh and other severe injuries. Whilst the unfortunate man was being carried to his own residence some heartless scoundrel stole the watch from his pocket. THE LIVERPOOL AND MANCHESTER AGRICULTURAL SOCIETY had a special general meeting at Manchester, on Tuesday last, the Earl of Wilton in the chair, The in spectors of farms read their reports, and the awards of prizes were made by the committee. The Earl of Sefton was nominated president for the ensuing year, and the other officers were re-appointed. SUIIMA TELEGR A P H.—A specimen of the telegraph wire which has been laid down between Dover and Calais, is now to be seen at Messrs. Johnson's, Church-streets In the interior are four copper wires, each of which is encased in gutta percha, and then twisted together and further protected by being et:trend with yarn, saturated with pitch and tallow; this is again overlaid with ten galvanized iron wires to protect the whole from the action of the sea, and chafing on the rocks. Altogether, the cable is about 11- inch in diameter, and from its metallic covering has a shining silvery appearance. The Prince of Orange Lodge, No. 1079, met on Mon day evening, Sept. 29th, to celebrate their anniversary by holding a tea meeting in their lodge-room, at the Tem perance Commercial Hotel, 39, Brownlow-hill, where upwards of 200 of the brethren, with their wives and sweethearts, sat down to tea, the chair being very ably filled by the Rev. Samuel Fenton. The Rev. Mr. Mathias also attended, and spoke very highly of the loyal principles of the Order, recommending the necessity of meeting in Protestant School-rooms or Temperance Houses. After the rev. gentlemen retired, the brethren giving them several rounds of " Kentish Fire," the District Master, Brother W. Roberts, took the chair, when the brethren enjoyed themselves, with temperance beverage, oy drinking the health of the Queen, Prince Albert, and the Royal Family, and the other toasts con nected with the Order. On separating the company gave three hearty cheers for the Queen, retiring to their homes well pleased with the night's entertainment. LIVERPOOL MUSICAL UNION.—This society opened its session on Friday evening last, with a most delightful concert. The programme was as follows :—Trio, piano forte, violin, and violoncello, Mendelssohn, beautifully executed by Mrs. Beale, Sivori, and Haddock. Quartet, two violins, viola, and violoncello, Beethoven, played by Messrs. Sivori, Lawson, Baetens, and lladdock, with a unity and exactness not previously surpassed in Liverpool. Signor Sivori's solo on the violin displayed to great ad vantage his beautiful cantabile playing, and his com plete mastery of the tremolo bowing. The sonata, pianoforte, and violin, Beethoven, was admirably played by Mrs. Beale and Sivori. Quartet, two violins, viola, and violoncello, Haydn, terminated a concert peculiarly interesting as the opening performance of the society. The audience manifested their appreciation of the excel lence of the performance by the most enthusiastic ap plause. The completeness of the arrangements, and the faultless execution of the music, reflect the highest credit upon the conductor, Mr. Haddock. NEWTON AGRICULTURAL SOCIETY.—The sixth annual meeting of the above society, for the exhibition of stock, implements, &c., for the district of Newton, Haddock, Lowton, Golborne, and Warrington, was held on Thurs day last, in the spacious timber yard of Thomas Leigh, E , q., of Newton. The day being fine, with the excep tion of a shower, there was a very numerous attendance, amongst whom we noticed Wm. Mercer, Esq., of Golborne-park ; Joseph King, Esq., of Liverpool ; D. Shaw, Esq., of Ashton ; E. Garvin, Esq., of Warrington ; Rev. A. Greenwell, and the Rev. Mr. Newshaw. The arrangements were very complete, and afforded entire satisfaction to all parties. The judges were Messrs. Almond, Dodds, Rothwell, Pemberton, M`Lochlin, and Monks. The show of horses, pigs, and poultry was cre ditable to the neighbourhood ; of dairy cows there was a choice selection of the best breeds ; and a good exhibition of field and garden produce. An excellent and substan tial dinner was provided by Mr. Fairclough, at the Horse and Jockey Inn, Newton, to which upwards of 150 mem bers and their friends sat down and did ample justice. After the removal of the cloth, the chairman (W. Mercer, Esq., of Golborne-park), proposed the usual loyal and local toasts, which were ably responded to, the silver and other prizes were presented, and the evening was spent in a truly convivial manner. BIRTH OF A C HILD WITH T wo H EADS. —W e yesterday witnessed in Mr. Booth's s u rger y, one o f th ose monstrosi ties which nature in her capricious moods occasionally produces, namely, a child with two heads. The child was born in the neighbourhood of the town, on Wednesday evening last, whilst Mr. Thomas, assistant to Mr. Booth, happened to be on a friendly visit at the house of the parents. This lusus natures has two perfect heads, and two perfect necks, and two spines which join at the lower End. The body is furnished wills double heart, lungs, and all the internal organs, but has only two arms. Between tne back of the two heads, however, there is a perfect shoulder formed, which projects from the joining of the necks. The lower part of the body and the legs are single, and are quite perfect, being those of a girl, whilst one of the heads is apparently that of a boy, and the other that of a girl. After the birth one of them lived twenty minutes and the other twenty-three, and Mr. Thompson, during the time, could distinctly fe e l th e p u l sa ti ons o f the blood, and see the vibrations of the heart and lungs. The mother of the child, since her delivery, we understand is doing well.—Preston Pilot. NOTES OF THE WEEK. OCTOBER AND THE SKYEY INFLUENCES-THE MINISTERS AND THE PARTRIDGES-THE PREMIER A JACK-O'- LANTERN - EDITOR-TRAPPING IN PARIS AND LIVER- POOL-LES BRAVES BELGES - ANOTHER MIRACLE: THE HOLY BREECHES OF ST. CLAVIER -THE NETHERBY BARONET AND THE BOROUGH OF BELFAST-" RENUN- CIATION OF PROTECTION" -LORD LONDONDERRY AND ABD-EL KADER. October is a hybrid month ; it is not summer, nor yet winter; it is a month of transition, of uncertainty, of conflicting elements. It is by turns hot and cold, dry and wet, windy and calm; it wears a face of exhilarating green in one spot, in another it dons an aspect of deep depressing brown. In such a month society is reduced to a sort of chaos ; all its regular functions are disturbed ; all its component parts are discomposed. Women, the real rulers of the world, cannot follow with pleasure the great business of their lives—they know not how to dress. If they robe themselves in garments of gossamer texture, a bitter chill is sure to come incontinently, and horrid coughs, and villanous rheumatic pains, and disfiguring red noses are the result. If they envelope themselves in warm attire, the sun ungallantly sends down his fiercest rays, and they faint with fatigue and ;nsupportable heat. The fairer half of creation is therefore uneasy, fretful, and dissatisfied. Men are equally subject to the skyey influences. They cannot pursue their usual avocations ; they fly off to watering places, or to the hills or moors, in the hope to quiet their perturbed spirits ; and then fly back again as unsettled as before they set out. Her Majesty's Ministers are not exempt f rom th e corn- mon lot. One tries the blue waters of the Mediterranean, hoping to find in them a Let he for his official cares and responsibilities; another skims the leaden oceans of the north, seeking to cool his feverish anxieties in hyperborian blasts and surges ; a third—one of jovial temperament, who likes good eating, good drinking, and good sport— bangs away at grouse and partridges, and all other kinds of gentlemanly birds, as he counts his thousands of heads, not scotched, but fairly killed and bagged, really does forget Downing-street and all about it; while the Premier himself tries everywhere in turn, and no where long,—rushes through England, Scotland, Ireland, and Wales, so rapidly, that people who see him doubt the evidence of their own eyes, and think of him, not as the respectable and aristocratic " Lord John," but as the disreputable "Jack o' Lantern," whose business is to lead people astray, and tempt them to follow him into bogs, pits, and quagmires. One minister alone—the ever-ver dant Palmerston—remains at his post. But even he, old stager as be is, cannot altogether resist the impulse to be moving ; and so he occasionally takes a flight on the sly, to Broadlands, to enjoy the company of some choice spirits of an evening, or haply runs down to Tiverton, to take care of his seat there, while he leaves the seat of Govern ment to take care of itself. So wags the ministerial world. Talking of ministers—what a ridiculous end M. Thiers was near meeting the other day ? Think of the great little historian of the Republic and the Empire, the philosopher, statesman, and would-be president of France, being mis taken for, and shot at as a chamois ! Well, if small wise men will dress themselvesin nankeen cap, blouse, and boots, and will go ruminating through the crags of the Pyrenees, ignorant hunters may he forgiven if they do send rifle bullets through the disguised bipeds, though one of them should be found to be an ex-minister, or an embryo president. It is the habit to call this a prosaic age ; but the fact is that all the past dreams of poetry have been realised, or are in process of realisation,—and unless new poets arise who can conjure up more marvellous visions than their predecessors did, the world is not likely to bestow the admiration upon imaginings which have become pal pable fails accomplis. A poet of the last century, who had a very vivid imagination, thought he was rather smart when he conceived it possible _ _ "To waft a sigh trorti Indus to the Pole ;" hut such a fancy would just now be voted very slow indeed. Why, at this moment, the electric telegraph across the channel having been safely established, a whisper can be sent, at lightning speed, from London to Paris; and, in a short time, sighs, and what are of more consequence, the prices of stocks, of cotton, and of shares, will be wafted from Liverpool to St. Petersburgh, to Vienna—perhaps, even, to Bombay and Calcutta—if the railway project to our East Indian territory, lately broached, be carried into execution—a project which only requires money to become a great fact. _ . . We certainly are becoming familiarised with phenomena of all sorts. They meet our view wherever we turn. But one of the most puzzling is the phenomenon of the French Republic. There is in France unquestionably a republic, but without republicans—with a prince for a president—with liberty, equality, and fraternity duly proclaimed—and with gaols full of men who take the liberty to express their sentiments, who claim equality, or who venture to fraternize with one another. Verily this Republic baffles comprehension. We used to hear of a monarchy surrounded by republican institutions; this is a republic endured by a monarchical people, and upheld by means that no autocrat on earth, except a republican president, would dare to use. Editor-trapping is the game now in vogue in Paris ; the number bagged is quite surprising, and has no parallel, unless perhaps in Liver pool, where Mr. Ramshay evinces a desire to rival Louis Napoleon in he sport of caging and taming all creatures armed with the much dreaded goose-quill. By the way, Louis Napoleon has at last disclosed the grand masked battery which he has had prepared, and which he will play on the Parliamentary opposition should they persist in thwarting his re-election. He will fire into the midst of the banded intriguers a bomb—the report of the 31st of May, by which about three millions of electors were disfranchised—which will blow them all to picces. This will be something like a coup. What the catastrophe may be, who can say ? No matter—perish the Republic, but live Louis Napoleon ! So Les Braves Beiges have been keeping the anniversary of their heroic achievement " With fiddling, feasting, dancing, drinking, maski n g, And other things which may be had for asking." Never before were so many banquets, concerts, balls, illuminations, reviews, fireworks, &c., crowded into one short space of time, and upon so small a stage. Brisk little Belgium ! it is curious to see thee, the puny daugh ter of that celebrated Republican beauty, the revolution of 1830, so full of life, of frolic, and of fun, in this thy 21st year, while thy Amazonian mama lies stiff and stark —dead, buried, and quite forgotten. Telle est la vie. Another miracle—by the holy breeches of Saint Cla vier, and by the blessed operation of the wooden Bambino del ara Coli ! " Upon my life 'tis true—what d'ye bet 'tis a lie ?" But it is fact—well authenticated fact ; and in the Palace of the Vatican too, under Pin No-no's own nose. A devout virgin has actually been cured of an incurable disease, in the twinkling of a sanctified bed post, by the simple swallowing of a few select fragments of the venerable Father Clavier's unmentionables, and by a faithful invocation to the tender-hearted bambino. Heigh, presto the maiden jumped six feet out of bed, and never stopped till she had run half a league. The only objection we have to these miracles is that they are becoming too common ; one a week is really one too many ; even the faithful will begin to suspect that they are no miracles at all, but only holy cheats—and cheats of a very vulgar and bungling kind. They answered passing well, in the dark ages, to bamboozle the ignorant and credulous ; but the eyes of even the poor benighted Irish are now beginning to open, and priests and priest craft are at an awful discount in the Isle of the Saints. The new Reformation has set in unmistakeably, even in the lair of the lion of St. Patrick. It is signalised by a miracle too, and that of a very significant kind, for whereas all the " Protestants"—to wit, the potatoes that enjoy that distinctive appellation —are sound, wholesome, and live-giving, all the " Peelers" and other such " bad lots" are found rotten at the core. At length the Baronet of Netherby has got a chance of a seat. Belfast, it appears, is to have the hdnour of having for its representative James of the Bright Con science. The rejected of Carlisle, of East Cumberland, of Pembroke, of Dorchester, and of Ripon, has won the confidence of a few Whigs of Belfast, and the right hon. gentleman, who has been, and who most probably will be again, a Cabinet Minister, is to give the benefit of his changeful experience and of his very desirable patronage to that mercantile and truly sagacious borough. What will the electors say to this nice Whig compact ? We shall see. What fuss and glorification is making about the " renunciation of the principles of Protection," by Messrs. Disraeli, Harcourt, Henley, and Robert Palmer ! Unhappily for the glorifiers, there has been no renuncia tion at all—these gentlemen simply refer the question to the United Kingdom at the next general election, in accordance with the advice of Lord Derby, and only desire that in the meantime facts may be carefully collected, and the operation of the existing commercial policy thoroughly comprehended. It is very remarkable that if protection to native industry be " a dogma as contemptible as it is despicable," the great guns of Free Imports should keep blazing away at it morning, noon, and night. They waste their powder upon a miserable phantom, according to their own confession, which argues little for their stock of common sense. The chivalrous Marquis of Londonderry has been drawing his pen once more in the cause of the imprisoned Abd-el-Kader, and flatters himself that he has this time rescued the brave old Emir from his grim prison on the Loire. But the Emir, like the starling, still cries, " I can't get out" ; and the President of the French Republic still cries, with a profusion of delicate phrases and agree able compliments, " I can't let him out" ; and, in short, out he won't get so lone as the present reign of " liberty" lasts in France. But Kossuth is out, and by this time approaches our shores. After all, it may be better to be at the disposal of an absolute unconstitutional sultan than subject to the tender mercies of a free republic, and a prince who answers je ne peux pas whenever asked to do an act of justice, of humanity, and of good faith.

The lightning struck the roof at the north side, went down the slates and in side the wall, knocking Kirkham down, splitting a vice and chisel, and doing other damage. When taken up, Kirkham was found to have had a very providential escape, being marked on various parts of the body, hav ing his hair singed and the sole of one of his shoes torn off, but is now rapidly recovering from the effects of the shock. The boy, who was at work close by, is uninjured. TALK IN TOUT kFROM OUR PRIVATE CORRESPONDENT') INSTEAD of writing from town, we should look fo r d _ from Liverpool.
