Persons proceeding to India and China, Masters, Supercargoes, &c., insured for the whole of Life or a specific voyage.

AN advertisement having appeared in e STANDARD of Friday last, containing a reflecti upon the character and respectability of the Provisional nmittee of this Com pany, it is but just for us to state, that having perused the list of gentlemen forming that committee, we are satisfied the charge is totally destitute of foundation, and has evidently been made for the purpose of injuring the Company in question. THE LIVERPOOL FISH COMP NY. CAPITAL,—E2S,OOO, IN 5000 SHARE £5 EACH. IHE object of this Company is to f c' tate the supply of Fish to this Market, and thereb Ratite the Liverpool Fishmonger to compete fairly with Billi sgate. The private and public table of a great part of the Inland Counties, and part of North \Vales, is now supplied from Lon don, (although the distance is greater, and the conveyance more expensive than from Liverpool,) buthitherto the trade has not been conducted here so as to ensure a regular supply, and iu consequence, families, hotel keepers, and public parties, have. been forced to the London markets, or be exposed to disappoint ment or extortion in stormy weather, if dependent on this market alone. Fish, therefore has, on account of the cost, been rendered to such persons, an expensive luxury. This Company will make it more generally accessible, and thus by an immense increase of the trade, serve the Fishmonger, as well as the public, by a simple and clear arrangement of the business. Well conducted lines of Boats will be placed on the Fishing Stations, and the daily supply will be brought by Steam Boats, which will arrive at the Pier Head, at an early hour each morn ing, so that the wholesale dealer may furnish, by the morning coaches, the dinner table for 90 miles round, on the same day. The capital will be only called for in small sums, unless the directors hereafter shall advise an extension -of the trade to Foreign Fishing stations. The number of shares already Taken up, enables the pro prietors to name the fifth of April as the day of allotment, and the twelfth as the day to choose three Directors ; the company will then be in operation forthwith. Thus, no Private Interests will be invaded, the trade of the port will be greatly increased, the supply of Fish be regular, and as the steam boats may be profitably employed by day, in towing, this undertaking promises a great profit on a very small individual outlay. Applications for Shales, under seal, addressed to the Pro visional Committee, must he left at the Office of Mr. J. BACH, Clarendon Buildings, or Hr. WALKER, Solicitor, Duke-street, Liverpool TO THE FISHERMEN AND FISHMONGERS OF LIVERPOOL. THE PROJECTORS of the LIVERPOOL FISH. COMPANY are desirous that all Persons at •esent en gaged in the business either as Fishermen or Dea a should be made acquainted with the views and objects of is Company. It is not intended to interfere with either par except so far as the Company may be brought into comp on with those who now supply the Port; and to such perso the Company are ready to make some concession by a purchase of their boats and Implements, and also by a grant of Shares, in all cases to be in proportion to the value of their present interests in the Trade. To the Dealer (be it understood) this Company will afford the means of becoming a Wholesale as well as a Retail Trader. The Company, therefore, strongly urge such persons to he active in seeking for Retail Markets in ail the inland towns. This effected, Liverpool will become (what it ought long since to have been) a great and steady Market of Supply to half the Counties of England and \Vales Committee Room, Clarendon-buildings, March 28,1836.

These considerations, and a large Capital being requisite, have led to the recent formation of a similar most respectable Company. in Liverpool and Manchester, with every chance of a most prosperous result.

The probable renuction or removal of the Government Duty gives every prospect of a very considerable additional profit, by the consequent increase of the consumption, and the adoption of the Article in every respectable house and Shop in the Em pire.

The surveys will be con :lete in a few weeks, when a Meeting of the Shareholders , 11 be called to decide, under the advice of eminent Enginee ' , at what precise point the Junction with the Grand Junction line shall take place. At present it is proposed that the terminus of the line to the north shall be fixed on the shore of the Mersey, as the most approved point immediately opposite Liverpool, and to the south of the point where the Cheshire Junction falls into the Grand Junction. This line through the whole of its length being 36 miles, passes over a country singularly level, and admirably adapted for the formation of a Railway. _ A Provisional Committee is in course of formation, and further particulars will appear in a few days. Applications for Shares to be made to the Committee, addres sed to Messrs. MILLER and Pali', Solicitors, Liverpool; Mr. BRITTAIN, Solicitor, Chester; or to Messrs. 0. MILNE and Co., Solicitors, Manchester, stating name, residence, and profession. Chester, March 25, 1836.

The Proprietor earnestly recommends a trial of these rops to persons afflicted with the above complaints, but he does not introduce them as being an infallible cure (as many do) but is warranted in assert ing their efficacy from the extensive relief afforded in numerous cases of the above description. Constitutional Coughs of three: four, and more years standing, have been cured in the course of a week by the use of these Drops. In the Hooping and Chin Coughs it will be found equally valuable, the virtues of Spermaceti having been known for centuries hack, it will be needless to make a comment upon a Balsam obtained from so valuable an article.

Look to what quarter of the globe we may; we perceive evidences of the stride brother Jonathan is taking-in-the aggrandisement of his country. In the 'East the increase of American shipping is tremendous— they are doing a rattling business in the Pacific,—and we lately find that. they are about to gain a long coveted object, namely, a footing in the Mediterranean. We see by the French papers that the. American government have been in treaty with the Emperor of Morocco for a point of territory in Africa, situate at Angeza, a small bay and island adjacent to Cueta. Whe ther the emperor will cede the possession to the Americans re mains to be seen. At all events it is clear that the Yankee is no fool, and any thing rather than an idle character. We ge nerally hear of these things, thanks to whig diplomacy, just a day after the fair. We suppose Palmerston will propose a com mission to Fez. , The Moniteur de Commerce has called public attention to this intrigue. We conclude that no effort will be made by Lord Palmerston to prevent this, because it is calcu lated to injure'England most seriously, for, as the Moniteur de Commerie observes, the possession of a post, &c. in what may be termed another Dardanelles by the Americans would neu tralise the advantages which England derives from the posses sion of Gibraltar,. 'We are led to believe that Lord Palmerston will .:not interfere for another. reason, suggested also by an ob servation in the foreign journal, viz., " This project of the Americans is, we are assured,- the result of a combination to which Russia is not a stranger We are also assured of it, and little do we dream' that the minister who allowed the treaty of Hunkiar Skelessito be signed ; and who abandons the mouth of the Danube to Russia,. under the special pleading of the lat ter of the necessity for-the quarantine establishment, who, in every possible way, has shown an utter incapacity, not to say an absolute disinctination; to uphold the interests of England — little do we dream, we repeat, that Lord Palmerston will in terpose in this matter, excepting to forward the views of the Americans and Russians. .The Moniteur de-Commerce quaintly '‘‘ observes, by way of conclusion, Should the Americans ob tain their desires, one runs no;risk in saying that it would not be Moorish bullets that would expel them from it." True. And, moreover, it would be something more persuasive than Palmers ton's protocols. But. wherefore should such a state of things be brought on ? Why is it that in every quarter, north, east, and south, England is laughed at, duped, flattered, appeased, and duped again.? How is it that every and any experiment upon her forbearance 19 safely niade 7 --any encroachment upon her. lights — successfully attempted? Because both Europe and America know well who it is that now "looks after the inter ests and honour of the nation !"—Age. :..4 1 ',.:•lin?otrio if] lA' I'S OFF, SOLDIERS ! ! ! rionfol! itts amusing to observe:the various expedients resorted to by the:wort,hies whom the corporation act has installed in office to enhance their dignity and exhibit their "little brief authority." ,That one of the most successful in these laudable attempts is the mayor of a northern seaport, witness the followini , story, well worth hearing:—ln the borough referred to reside about half a dozen invalid artillerymen, who are marched down by the serjeant once a-month to get the certificates entitling them to their pensions signed by a magistrate. Soon after the "Pre sident of the Reform Association" was elected mayor, the monthly day came round, and as it happened to be a wet one, " his worship" declined to turn out, and the invalids were marched to his house, and, by his desire, into the dining-room. After having kept them waiting a sufficient length of time, the mayor made his appearance, and the men saluted him in the usual manner of soldiers. He eyed them for a moment, and the following dialogue ensued : Mayor.—" Serjeant, tell those fellows to take their hats off." Serjeant.—" Why, sir, they saluted you as soldiers always do." Mayor.—" Tell them to take their hats off, I say." Sergeant.—" A soldier never takes off his cup, sir; it is against the regulations of the service " Mayor.—" Mind, I have not signed their certificates, and perhaps 1 may not ; do you know who •I am ?" Serjeant.—" Yes, sir, very well. I dare say you willdo your duty, but I must do mine. If the Commander-in-Chief were here I dare not order a soldier to take his cap off." Mayor.—" D—n the Commander-in-Chief, what do I care for him ? but " and as if a bright thought had struck him, " his ! worship" rang the bell violently, and on the appearance of his !factotum, roared at the top of his voice, "'Will, bring my hat." The hat was brought, the " representative of majesty" quickly put it on, and exultingly cried, "now we are even, I can sign the certificates," to which he accordingly affixed his "sign manual." Corporators! great and small, mayors, aldermen, and coun cillors, all ye who court true dignity, ring for your hats, ,and itpitate the mayor of S***borough.Leeds Intelligencer. . • I i 'PETITION 'TO VIE KrlNG.—The clergy of the Deanery of 'Pontefract, residing in the neighbourhood of that town, have all, without exception, united in a petition to the King be seeching his Majesty to exercise his high prerogative as head of the church, with strict attention to the character anti orthodoxy of those his Majesty may be pleased to appoint to any situation therein.

TUESDAY MORNING, MARCH 29, 1836. The packet arrived on Sunday, bringing New York papers to the 10th instant. The news they contain is not of much importance, but it cannot be concealed that there is a feverish anxiety prevailing in the United States, on the subject of the Slave question. Congress has done all it can safely do, even to the extent of vio lating the forms of the constitution, to repress all pre mature or incidental discussion on the subject. We find that on the presentation of a petiton to the Senate, praying for the abolition of slavery in the district of Co lumbia, it was announced that the Presbyterian Synod of Ohio had "excommunicated all slave holders !" We. never had a doubt that this embarrassing question would ultimately break up the North American Union, and we already see symptoms of the approaching catastrophe. The Senate has also rejected the New 'York Relief bill, on the ground that the merchants of that city have no claim whatever upon the rest of their fellow citizens. They contend that the inhabitants of New York have not suffered to the extent they have represented, that their insurance companies were improperly conducted, and that as' the insured are generally the insurers they must bear 'ibe responsibility of their own mismanagement. This rejection of the Relief bill has led to much angry and personal altercation in the journals. The New York Advertiser is more than usually intemperate. One of the leading opponents of the inew , ure was a Mr. PEAtteR, iklAßcif 29, 18 6. of .Rhode Island, who is thus described bv a Washing- . ton correspondent. " Mr. Pearce of Rhode Island, then mounted the rostrum to finish his speech, and thump, -thanip,, scold, scold, to-day:as upon Thursday last attended his .. speech, which was thrown to gether pelt melt with ou t s eiise 'or 'Order, rough and tumble. As usual the desk of the hon. iiienther with the floor around him, was well kicked and thumped. S,rch groaning and„screaming, scratching and h a ll oo i ng , sco ldi ng ' and fretting, jumping and hopping, whining and sighing, - the • three professions, •and., the fifty mechanical branches are incapable naturally or artificially to put together. Let me giVe you a specimen of this rantionv speech maker's remarks; commencing with a long tirade against every commercial mini and commercial city in the country. He began by quoting Burke in the following language and follow ing libel. As to the'merchants—" their counters are their al tars—their ledgers are their bibles—and their gold their god." Shameful, unworthy of Edmund Burke, but fit to be quoted by Dutee J. Pearce. This, however, was not the extent of his mercantile anathemas. Soon he went on to quote the follow ing pretty extract from a member of congress delivered thirty years since. The merchants would send a vessel to hell for a bag of coffee at the 'expense of burning her sails.' Soon he went on to say that the merchants were not patriots, and that he was against them if he stood alone,—and then soon after to•say that the men who had been burnt out in New York had .made money by the conflagration, and if the fire was unprecedented, it was not so much so as the passage of the bill would 'be. 'Then mine an imputation that it was amoney making affair. Thep a page of precedents. Then a narration of the fires which have heretofore tak en pl ac e i n t h e country. T hen an allusion to , Ohio. .Then a chapter upon individual' suffering, upon widows and old maids, whom he contended were suffersng more . than the suffering merchants of New York. G. W. Bangs, whose Claims he said stalked an:ong us like Scipio's ghost, was next spoken: Then again an allusion to what he should do if the bill passed, to wit: introduce a similar bill for the relief of his constituents. • The' advices from St. Augustine, and . the-vicinity of the Indian war in Florida- reach to the 20th February. We make the subjoined extracts as the most interesting we can find : • " By accounts from New Orleans , to February 18th. several additional companies of volunteers had already organized and paraded, preparatory to their departure for Florida to relieve those who had preceded them. "The suns of 1741 dollars has been subscribed in New Or leans, towards the relief of the widows and orphanS of the trews, who fell in the late massacre between Tampa and Fort King. "There was a rumour at Picolata, February 17th, that Col. Twiggs had had an engagement with the savages, and killed 150 of them. On the St. Johns, irninediatelyitbove Picolata, the Indians t do not appear to have committed the depredations that they had in the vicinity-of St. Augustine. " A letter of a Georgian volunteer, dated Picolata, Feb,l7th, states that although the houses hail been suddenly deserted by the planters, they were found most of them with the doors open, the furniture within, and yards and gardens, poultry, an d pota toes all as ondisturbed as when occupied. " A letter from Capt. Jones, of the U. S. cutter Washington, at Tampa Bay, dated Feb. 4th, states that he had landed two of his 12 pounders on a mud scow, which was made into a floating battery, manned by Waif - big - crew, and placed in a small creek to the left of the cantonment, within two rods of the pickets.. He speaks in the highest terms of Majorßelton, the command ant, who, though authorised to abandon the post when he had but 200 men, and was threatened by 1000 savages in the imme diate vicinity, flushed with their victory over poor Dade, called a meeting of his officers, all of whom agreed to bury themselves in the ruins rather than surrender. Captain Jones adds : " Nearly all the barracks and out-houses are burnt down, and the troops are picketed around the two block-houses. Some two or three rods from the margin of the river, the barracks and out-houses were burnt in order to give the cannon in the block houses an opportunity to play on an open plain that intervenes between the pickets and the thickets, from which the enemy would rush in the event of an attack. "Eighty of the inhabitants have taken refuge on board the transports, which had arrived to take off to the Mississippi the Seminoles, in conformity to the treaty; the captains of the transports, 18 in number, being ignorant probably of the hos tile proceedings of those tribes, or being desirous to fulfil the contract so far as regarded their vessels. The sloop of war Van dalia arrived January . 28th. Fifty marines bad previously been sent on from Key West by Com. Dallas. "A letter from one of the Irish volunteers. at Gen. Hernan dez' plantation, 28 miles from St. Auguitine, dated February 20th, states that Mr. William's sugar mills, &e. burned by the Indians, will cause that gentleman a loss of 45,00(1 dollars. By the schooner Laura, Captain Walker, arrived at Charles ton, we have news from Key West to Feb. 15. Intelligence received at Key West from Cape Florida to Feb. 10th states that the Indians had not then revisited the lighthouse, but had made another visit to the unfortunate Mr. Coolev's plantation, robbing the house, destroying the furniture, &c. It has appear ed singular to us that an ample supply of guard-boats with sailors and marines had not been left by Commodore Dallas, there and along that coast, as was stated - to have been the ob ject of that commander. It is also unaccountable why his whole squadron should have returned to Pensacola. A black boy who escaped from the massacre of Mr. Coolev's family states that the murders were committed by fifteen In dians, in revenge for the death of an old chief, named Alibama, shot by a white man, who had been favoured in his escape, it was thought, by Mr. Cooley. Mr. Cooley is again at the light house, and writes that Indian fires are seen from there, smoking in the distance on the main land. A letter from Key West states that the Indians, if defeated in the north, will updolibtedly fall upon the southern point of Florida, and justly adda that the boats of our squadron might have prevented this if they had been sent, as they should have been, up the. different creeks, penetrating. the everglades. T Tau 3 hp.eßay, schooner M Exchange, of Frankfort, Maine, went ashore at Jan. 31st, and was entirely lost. A disposition to riot and insubordination among the workmen still continues in ,New York. The fact is, the workmen are already .tx,lo well paid, and consequently they are more arrogant in their demands. If they per sist they may injure their employers and retard the im provements of the .towu,, but they will suffer most se verely for their. folly in, the end.. The following may be taken as a sample of their proceedings. "PREPARATIONS FOR ANOTHER STRIKE.—The ourneymen masons of this city have h e ld a meting, and passed the follow „, ing resolution _ _ Resolved,—That from and after the Ist day of April next the journeymen masons will demand, a;ta fair compensation for one day's labour, two dollars and fifty cents; and ne hereby notify our employers of this our intention.' ".ANOTHER.—The journeymen shipwrights and calkers have resolved— That we agree that two dollars and twenty-eve cents per• day is fair compensation for our labour at new work on and after the 21st instant; and the swu of two dollars and 4fly cents for old work on and after the 7th instant.' " AND YET ANOTHER.—The marble polishers, rubbers, and sawyers have resolved— " "That we are determined after the 10th day of March not to work under an advance of twenty-five per cent.' " There is no country on the face of the earth where the worst passions of human nature are more frightfully de veloped than in Ireland. Murder by open violence is bad enough ; but wilful perjury, eincloyed for the purpose of swearing away the life of an innocent man, from no mo tive of revenge, from no sense of personal injury, but for the sake of money and to G ratify the dark malignity of certain villians Who are called priests; is inexpressibly atrocious and diabolical. Such crimes are common to and are of frequent occur rence in Ireland. A wretched population is kept in sa vage ignorance by the popish priests, for in this state these people are much more easily made the victims of priestly rapacity. They are plundered by their father confessors every day and every hour of their existence. From his cradle to his coffin the poor labourer is perpe tually toiling to meet the demands of his'priest. He is taxed to the amount of half his parents' wealth when he is christened, and he is waked and anointed at the ex pense of his last shilling. It takes more than he could earn in twelve months to defray the costs of his marriage, and, when he expires, his friends suffer as severe a loss in their pockets as his orphans do by his death. He i 5 'punished by the magistrate for theft, and he has to 'pay . r. the priest for confessing the crime. He is sent to Enk- :.? land a beggar to-procure the means of paying-his station dues or his Easter offerings. He begs and works for that of which he is robbed by the " good man." He is tempted to be dishonest in order - that he may be consi dered a true catholic of the old chtirch ; and, if success ful in his knavery, he is compelled to share his gains with the monk who absolves hint'fiom the sin. If regular in his attendance at Mass, he is fleeced of his money ; if ir regular, he is obliged to pay for not receiving that which he has to pay for receiving. He is consequently taxed for not having a coat to go to the chapel in ; and if, by accident, he have a good coat, he has to pay double. He is taxed for attending mass, and taxed for absenting him self from it. He is taxed for the faults of his wife 'and the misfortunes of his mother. He is taxed for h'isibre titer that is hanged and his brother-in-law that is trans ported. He is taxed when he presents his child at the baptismal fount, and he is taxed for the remains of Ilia father in his coffin. Coming into the world, going out of the world, and in the realms beyond the world; lie is taxed. At birth, at baptism, at board, and in bed—at mass and at marriage—in health and in sickness--at con secration and at confession—on the day of feasting and the day of mourning—on every saint's day in the eaten dar from Yule to Midsummer and from Midsummer, to Yule, the poor Irish papist is taxed and plundered 11 • some rapacious priest. Can we wonder then that the labouring classes of the sister island are poor and miserable Poverty is not a crime; but it is a crime of the deepest dye in him who keeps men ignorant, and, by superstitious'appiiances, re" duces them to poverty. But if with poverty there : earn ( ' contentment and peace of men—if the fault were in the system and its effects 'were not pernicious, we mighthave . reason to be more tolerant of popery in the same wal that the law is of quackery, which may be corrected but •, cannot be eradicated. Alas ! there is no conSoliti° l3 even from this source.
