The Court fir the relief of Insolvent debtors was held on I Wednesday and yesterday, before Henry Revel Itevoi m ts, Esq., his Nlajestv fO 's chief ciihnnissioner r the iClier . iif insolvent debtors. :There were no rases tit interest on Wedueilay, the ' cases in whiCh any difficulty arose being adjourned to the next day. The first case of interest which eaineou yesterday was the examination of A. E. Lyons, on his petition to he diSeharged. It may be remembered that a little time. ago an action was brought in the Court of Passage againSt the petitioner Lyons, for false imprisonment of the wife of a irerson earned Janiee Smith, the keeper of a cook-shop, whom he took into custody on some slight pretence whilst in the exercise of his duty as an inspector of police. In that action a verdict was found for the plaintiff, with 5/. damages, and costs. 'rhe costs amounted to about 251., but were atterwaids taxed at 10/. by the tons clerk. For this amount of damages and costs the defendant was ar rested, and now petitioned to be relieved from the same, under the act for insolvent. debtors. The petitioner was opposed by Smith, who was his detaining creditor, and on whom, from the defendant'si alleged inability to pay, fell the amount of the costs in the action alive named. Mr. Wilkins appeared for the opposing creditor. The peti tioner had no counsel. .Andrel Edward Lyons being sworn, on his examination, de posed that he had been residing in England thirteen months, and previously he had lived atTultamore, Queen's county, Ire land; was assistant engineer with Mr. Henry Bretteightor nine months. His father was a farmer in county Mayo in the neigh bourhood of Kilmorris. His cousin, Andrew Edward Lyons,: resided also in Ireland ; he went to Amerieit in . May or June last. He was admitted into the police force as soon as they were established, about ten months since. , lle, could not say through whoseinterest h e go t in. He got in four months after he came to this country. lie had more than 101; about - a month month nr six weeks before he got into it. He Was clerk to the Reforin committee Of St. George's ward; helot £1 ss: a-week. He was engaged until the 'election ; lie used to canvass. He was Maur 'employment after the election, but still received £1 ss. a-week,; tilis •was during. the December election. Since De cember, he got into the prOliee immediately after, . He got 30s, a-week ac policeman, and his uniform and his clothes generally. Her got nothing `else. ,! ' . -_s- Mr. Wilkins.. 7 -yes, me,di,l, ,.- . - . .. s. , Petitioner.—Trit wris , thy stated pay. Mr. Wilkins.-s-Whatl Wise ? 'Petitioner.—At s flisl. time there were some perquisites. Mr. Wilkins.—That is a very indefinite term;- telt me what they were ? Petitioner.-1 mean that money that is not stated as a fixed salary, but merely what arises frons . " Mr. Wilkins,-- 2 -From what ? Petitioner.-1 mean by this word perquisites, money which persons receive in an office, the same not being a fixed salary. Mr. Wilkins —Now, it may be as well to tell you that I mu a plain-spoken Englishman, and I should like. you to explain yourself' in plainerterms. Tell me what these perquisites were? Petit inner.—They were monies resulting from fines. Mr. Wilkins, —And:what - did these fiues result from? Petitioner.—From abuses in the town. 1 Mr. Wilkins.-:—That is, abuses proved by your information? Petitioner.—Not by me solely. " Mr. Wilkins.--But you were one of the parties? , . Petitioner.—ln some of the cases I was. Mr. Wilkins--In point of fact, was it not the moiety of a pe nalty resulting foam an information laid by you. Petitasher.—lt was. Commissioner.—lf the magistrates were to order a fine of 21. on your information, would you receive 11. - . Petitioner.—l should receive one, but not directly. Mr. Wilkins.—You were rather more than nine months in office ? Peti•ioner.—l was. Mr. Wilkins.—Now, Mr. Lyons, it is out of real mercy to you that I put you on your guard. Now, confine yourself to the truth. It' you should be convicted of perjury, you will rue the consequences. During the time you were in office, how many informations did von lay? Petitioner.--I cannot tell. MA, Wilkins.—l don't want to know particulars. Did you IFfifty informations? Petitioner.—l suppose I did, sir, more. Mr. Wilkins.--Did you lay 60 informations ? Petitioner.—Yes. Mr. Wilkins.—Seventy ? . Petitioner.—Perhaps more even than that. Mr. Wiikins.—Eighty ? Petitioner.—Perhaps even more than that. but I can't say. Mr. Wilkins.—How many convictions resulted from these informations ? Pet itioner.—l can't say, sir. Mr. Wilkins.—Well as nearly as you can tell us ? Petitioner.—Perhaps the greatest part. Mr. Wilkins.—lf the greatest part of these informations of yours succeeded, what do you mean by stating on your new special balance sheet, that from January, at the time you were in office, you only received . £l4 as perquisites ? Petitioner.—l don't know what I received ; that much I appropriated. . Mr. Wakins.—There is such a thing kept in Messrs. Ellis and Shuttle worth's office as a fine book. Petitioner.—l am aware of that. Mr. Wilkins.—l tell' you on that fine book I find you receive upwards of £6O as your share. . Petitioner.—lt may have come into my hands, but I have not appropriated it to my own use. Mr. Wilkins.—All I wish to know is, have not £6O and up wards been paid into your hands, as your share of fines? Petitioner.-1. won't swear to the amount. Mr. Wilkins.—Will you swear you have not received £5O ? Petitioner.—Twill not swear to it. - Mr. Wilkins.—Will you swear to £4O ? Petitioner.—No, I will not ; I can't swear to the amount. Mr. Wilkins.—Man! man ! what do you mean ? Petitioner.-1 never kept an account of it. Mr. Wilkins.—l ask you to tell me, as nearly as you can, on your solemn oath, how much money you have received iu tines ? Petitioner.—lt is impossible. Mr. Wilkins.—Why impossible ? . Petitioner.—l have no recollection of the sums. Mr. Wilkins.—l have told you I --don't wish yOu to speak to £lO. You tell us you have laid upwards of 80 informations, and that nearly every one of them succeeded ? Petitioner.—Even granting the premises, I can't arrive at anything like a good conclusion. I would be sorry to say that I received £5O, if I laid a hundred information's. Mr. Wilkins.—Did you receive £4O ? Petitioner.---1 suppose I have; not that I have any co nviction _ that I received it. The petioner was then closely questioned as to whether he filled any situation now in the gaol, whilst a prisoner, and re ceived payment for it; which he totally denied. - Upon his oath he had not hist' ucted Mr. DaVenport with regard to his petition before he went into gaol. ' He paid 15s. a week for his board and "lodgings where he last lodged, in Chapel-lane. He had contracted no debts, excepting £1 10s. for clothes, to Messrs. .Silver and Co., and 4s. for shoes mending. The gold watch which he stated himself to have on his commitment, worth £l9, belonged to his cousin, Andrew Edward Lyons. His cousin was in good circumstances, and had remitted him money at different periods • and on one occasion, five or six months ago, he sent him £l3 10s. to buy a watch for him, and that he (pe titioner) was to get his own name engraved on it. As the money sent was too much fora silver watch, he deferred buying it until he could put more to it to buy a gold one- As soon as he had made up £2O he bought the watch in-question fur £l9 10s., about three months ago, of Mrs, Hornby. Mr. Daven port had read over his balance sheet to him; the watch was not mentioned in it, as it was hurriedly got up, lest he should be too late for the present court of relief; and besides, he had a con viction on his mind that the watch was not his, and he need not say anything about it. He had not mentioned the £l3 he had received from his cousin in his balance sheet, because he had not thought it necessary. He had pawned the watch to James Morris, pawnbroker, for £lO, before going to prison. Upon his oath he did know that his present statement upon the balance sheet was defective. He had no sinister motive in it; and it must be ignorance on his part if there was any such defect. Mr. Wilkins inquired of the commissioner if he thought they could go on with the case in its present state ? The Commissioner thought he might. The special balance ' sheet was extremely defective. In one part it stated that he had ' received in perquisites about £l4, which was at variance with hiS testimony as to this matter,, that he had received nearly four times that amount. The whole of his receipts and expenditure ought also to be inserted on this balance sheet. Why, (he asked the petitioner,) with this watch in his pocket at the time he was arrested, did he pledge it? it being able to pay the whole of his debts. . Petitioner.—l. did not consider the watch was mine. Mr..Wilkins.—Now, if this watch was not your own, how happened it that von took the liberty, on the Tith of October, of pawning•it,'and from the proceeds to pay part of your debts? Petitioner.—Untier the hope that I should again release it; and, moreover, I wanted something to subsist upon in gaol. The pet itionerhad-paid several smaildebts, reducing the £lO he had got for the watch to £6 10s. He had made no offer at all to the detaining creditor whilst he was in gaol. , He was not master of his own acts in that case. his detaining creditor had brought an' action against hinilor false imprisonment, and had Vs awarded to him, and the costs' amounted to £l4 19s. The Watch• Committee piitl hi.i expenses in the Icsiv-suit, which took the matter out of his hands, and lie had, none of the manage ment at all'of it. ‘• - • 1 S , s '" , -s; : - .

He v, ,, 1 so embittered against me that lie would have nothing less than making tne suffer in person for it. The Petitioner then went on. No one hail forbid him to pay the debt, and no one had requested him, to pas; it. • Ile had never asked the Watch Committee to pas the demeges for' hini; Mr, Davenport looked to him alone for the costs of the present proceedings. He had received no money since he went to gaol. He expected to. be restored into the pollee force. • - Ile kneW Mr. Lythgoe, the keeper,pf the Britiewell. He nad never shewn him any End chainS or seals: Thathe.wOulct swear. He never had any appendages to his watch. ' He kneW Miss Hornbv. He bought his watch there. Two :gentlemen were with -hien when he bought it. One was Mr. Highton, clerk in the Watch Office, and-the other wits Mr. Phirle,'sati inspector of police. Mr. Wilkinson inquired if Mr. Peole- was-in court, and he was insisted to withdraw. . ... The petitioner said. in continuation, lie had given his watch to Mr. Morley to pledge for him; He did net know whether it was pledged in his (Mr. M.'s) name, or in his own. 'l'he watch was pledged before he Went to prison. Ile had been in :the receipt prison.

Mr. Charles Fale4i . , DepinY Ilegisttar of the Court, read the. record of the action amid verdict of the court entered against petitioner when defendant.

Mr. Berr' was then sent for. The Commissimier said—The difficulty. this man will have to Struggle with will be this ; a man is to 'be:discharged an insol vent debtor, and as insolvent, that is, who, at the time of his ar rest, is not able to pay the money that ; he,nwes to his creditiirs. Now, that man had, within , a ,very,;(7qw -Oillines, a Watch that would pay to the utmost farthing every thing he owes. He hied some little money left, and the whole of his debtsthis at mo ment are £2l 13. 4 , 1., which he seeks to get rid of; he says " I don't owe another far hng in the world. I. am arrested on the 29th Oetoner• and will not pay those debts I owe." li e , wishes then to make a statement as if this watch were his cousin's. What is the ,fact ?

Mr. Lythgoe was then recalled at the request of th 4 ' nner, The,petitioner had told ,him it was a, gold chain.„ On his oath, this opposition to him was not got up by publicans and beer-sellers, to his k-nowt,dee. On his eath, he had not as a publicanor at the instatwe of any of his fellow tradesmen, come forward that : day to:give evidence against him. 1-14 recel !acted' the chain becanse be haul a particular reason for Mg it. His reason was, he could not help thinking it queer that he (petitioner) could get a gold watch and chain, when he (witness) had been so long in the police, and could get neither watch nor chain. (Theie was a general buzz of laughter-in Court at this announcement, which was immediately repressed by the Commissioner and severely commented upon.) He Was now a licensed victualler. On his solemn oath, neither directly nor indirectly had he had any quarrel with the petitioner. Thomas Shelley, the keeper cif the Bridewell, was then call ed to prove that he had seen the gold chain ; but his evidence only: went to prove that he lied seen the watch. Thomas Ainsworth, Constable, deposed to having seen a chain of the colour of Gold, worn by the insolyent in his waistcoat, as watch guard chains usually- are. It was about a fortnight before he went to gaol. He had not seen it either before or since. He had had no quarrel whatever with him. The petitioner then recalled Mr. Berry, to prove that he had never on.any occasion seen a chain. . John Martin, Inspector of Police, examined—lle had seen ,the petitioner nearly every day during the last twelve months. He had never seen him wear a gold chain. He should think he could not have worn it without his seeing it. Cross-examined by Mr. Wilkins.—There was an action pend ing against him at the next Assizes on the same charge as the one against the prisoner. Mr. William Hatch deposed that he had seen the petitioner constantly, but had never seen a gold chain. John Poole, Inspector of Police, had repeatedly seen the pe titioner during the last 8 or 9 mouths, and haul also seen the watch, but he had never seen a chain affixed to it. . Cross-examined by Mr. Wilkins.—There was an action pend ing against him at the next assizes on similar grounds t o, the action against the petitioner. The petitioner had told hien that his cousin had sent him a sum of money to purchase a watch,., Mr. Wilkins then addressed the commissioner on behalf of his client. He said, I can have only one object in standing up to address you, and that object to further the interest of my client., But it does very frequently happen that the interests both of the plaintiff and the defendant, if 1 may so speak, are the same; and I put it to you, as a matter of inercy to the in solvent, as wed as for the interest of my client, whether, without my making any further comment, it would not be better. to ad journ this case to the next sitting ; that, in the meantime, an opportunity mat be given to the insolvent to save .himself from the awful consequences which must, from the evidence, devolve upon him, and my client's interests be thereby served. If it cannot be done, [ must proceed; but I ain anxious that-it should be done. , Commissioner,-Insolvent,- you may confer with your attor ney. if you please, on what has fallen from the counsel, and then say whether thercese is to proceed or not. Form no rapid judgment.:: • The petitioner then conferred with Mr. Davenport, and first wished hii case adjourned, hut afterwards altered his determine• ion, and begged that hie petition might be dismissed. Cominissioner.---4 will only make one observation to you. ;hink Mr. Davenport has given you very good advice, and I think you haie. been very •judicious in acceding to it. lam spared what Avould •he rather irksome to me, to deliver the im pressions that I at present entertain, subject of course to he re moved by 'anything: you•might have to state. I have only one more observation' to make, now this case is over. It ought not to be a matter:of party feeling or of triumph to any : Mr. Wilkius.—Certainly not. I beg to say that was one .of the principal reasons for my throwing .out the observations which I • .Commissioner.—Petition discharged. The case occupied from half-past ton in the morning till three o'cliickin the afternoon, and seemed to excite much interest.

Mr. Booth expatiat ed at some length on the evils of drunkenness, and on the ex cellence of their society. lie concluded with an earnest appeal to the audience in favour of the scheme, and by seconding the motion. The resolution was carried. The multitude again called loudly for "God save the King," which was played. Mr BLACK stepped forward and said, the reaolution whiCh he had to propose was as follows:— . "l:hat the meeting, pledged itself to renewed exertions in this undertaking, and in forwarding the cause of Tee-totalisin generally." He called upon that respec table meeting Otielallyilo join in the sentiment of the . resolu- Lion, and to come forward and assist them.' If they-ace:Om plished the object, which no doubt they would be able to do, they would enable thorn to catch drunkards, (for it was a catch, ) and to give them the blessings of a sober life. They had now been so successful that they enrolled 325 meinbers weekly, and he had ns doubt that they would soon enrol 700 weekly. Mr, JOHN GANNETT seconded the resolution. Ile set forth the ssccess, which had hitherto attended their endeavours, and the evils attendant upon a course of dissipated habits.. A per son who had written in the London prints had called their ef rforts a temperance mania. Ile thanked him for the compli ment, and he hoped it was a mania which would spread all over Engtand. , Mr. I)avto LEcicla proposed the fourth resolution as fol lows :-,-" That it is hoped the, minor consideration of pounds, ,shillings, and pence,. in taking shares, will be viewed only in a secondary light; the welfare and happiness of the inhabitants ,of Liverpool - being the principal object in view." i‘lr.,Whs'yw ;ch._ seconded the resolution. After stating the vastest Lion of arslent spirits which were drunk by the inhabi tippikputtb England, Ireland, and Scotland, he urged the meeting ta s conie, forward, and by their subscriptions helo to put a stop to the growing evil.—This resolution was put and carried. ,Mr. ltotigaT KELLY moved the fourth resolution, "'that the meeting viewing. the rapid progress which the total abstinence principle had made since its formation, desire to rest their hopes of success on Altnig,htyGod, who alone couldcrown their efforts with success." Mr. Kelly went. into a lengthened detail of the history of the Total Abstinence Society, which he stated, origi ginally sprung item a meeting of six individuals.

On Tuesday night a meeting of the friends and members of the Total Abstinence Societiei was held in the Amphitheatie, Great Charlotte-street, The object of the meeting was to eo n _ ce rt measures - for erecting or purchasing a building to be used as a Temperance-hall. Lawrence 114 worth, Esq., was called to the chair. The Cu A lit Al a N said, when he looked round and. saw so m any of his fellow-men met together for the purpose of putting down 1 vice in the strongholds of drunkenness, and with the avowe d object of:establishing virtue, it gladdened his soul and he felt 'delighted to preside over such a meeting. The reason why . t h e 'meeting had been called was that their numbers had so increased that the room. which they had occupied had not sufficient space to contain them. The gentlemeu who composed the present committee had not been, therefore, enabled to lab our SO success fully as they wished, and a scheme would th at ni g ht be bro ught before them for effecting the desired change. It did not behove , him to say - what it ought to be , bu t he ho p ed the scheme would have the blessing of the Almighty upon it , a nd that the ' p e rsons p re sent would not have to be called upon in vain. He hoped they would be the means 'of reclaiming hundreds of idle and drunken characters, who now had the m one y drained from their 1 pockets by drunkenness and debauchery, while their families 'at home were sitting in solitary misery. lie hoped they wou ld be the means of forming such into different characters. Mr. llENiiv JONES said, it had been stated, that this s,,,j e t y was a political engine. There were, he doubted not, there pre sent men of all political opinions. ' l'here were three soc ieties in Liverpool, and they were, he believed, all within theVfin t i t ,f that building, and all tried to inculcate the grandliti&Mllli: o f total abstinence from all intox icatin g drifik. Wherilli'dliiiikeil at that vast assembly, and looked back upon their strianib&k il . ning, he could scarcely believe that, from Sti:iniall a s i licii e, could arise in so short a space of time so vast ariThlyl•easi. l3 tTlie - physical and moral degradation of society was 'ti''' . 06 , 1t17:th at renewed endeavours were requisi te for the purpoie'Orstaying the further increase of depravity. Oti behalf of drunkards and their wives and their families, of their sisters and theiiliAr little, neglected suffering children,. he , called , upon th6ui - to assist in their undertaking.

The prospectus' further stated,' that the theatre had been of-' fered to them for £6,500. The company was to be c onsidered as formed when 4,000 shares had been subscribed for. Mr. Jones continued; that since this prospectus had been formed, they had received a communication, stating that the theatre could not he sold for less than £B,OOO. He therefore should propose that ten thousand shares shoUld he the number; and to make a corresponding rate of income he raised the items above. enumerated proportionally. Mr. Jon N JoNns said, he hoped this meeting would receive with feelings of,kilidness that address from a small portion of their townsmen. They ventured to make their earnestrepte4 , . hoping that the meeting would second their efforts by all the , means in their power,. to break up and destroy that 'pernicious habit of drinking intoXieating drinks, Which had arrived at sucha frightful pitch in this otherwise highly favoured land. A habit which had heroine associated with all the circumstanceSandoc eurrences of life, whether . pleasing or inUtirnful, prosperolisor adverse. religions or prOfane ; it was a habit, 'Mr. Chairiifan, by which thousands of drunkards were annually manufactured from all ranks aria elasses of . society.

The facts elicited in the course of the trial, are most instructive, involving as they do ques tions'of the -highest importance _to the Liverpool public, and implicating as they must the character of our reformed Corporation. We have only space thus briefly to ad vert to the subject to-day; we shall resume its discussion on Tuesday. There are some evils which, though fatal in their ef kcts, are limited in their operation. Hectic unsparingly destroys its solitary victim, whilst the plague enters every house, and. carries death into every retreat. In like manner that political plague, refoim, and more espe cially municipal reform, has proved the bane of moral principles. throughout the land. Every meeting partakes of the taint Of its corruption—a universal delirium tre meus'hurries away its corporation slaves to acts of self -prostitution, from which they would once have shrunk back with. virtuous feelings of horror. It is that figura ,. Aive f‘ hot. iron" which, the apostle says, "sears the con science.".

On Tuesday night last, the members of this association, which has been recently established, dined together at Mrs. Stretch's, the Liver Inn, Kirkdale. The dinner was laid out in two large rooms up stairs, which were ornamented with festoons of ever greens hung from the 'ceiling, and with a number of very had& some flags. At the upper end of the large room, behind - the chairman's seat, was the very handsome large crimsonblhe silk tlag of the 'Fradesirten'sCodservative AsOCiation, bearing the inscription, in gold letters on strolls, "Otir tree and tlnriosts Constitution," "Church and King,'' "Lords and Comutons," and at the bolt*, " Liverpool Tiarienteu's ConservatiVe As sociation." Opposite to this, at the bottom of the room, was a very haddsome crimson and silk flag, with the inscription, in gold letters, " Presented by the Ladies of Everton to the Ever ton and Kirkdale Conservative Association," and at the bottom, "Fear the Lord and the 'King; meddle not with them that are given to change." The sides of the rooms were also ornamented with equally . handsome silk flags. On one, a very handsome one, having in the centre the crown and bible, surrounded with the rose, the shamrock, and the thistle, we observed the inscrip- - tion, "By their principles and their numbers," "King and Constitution in Church and State," " May their principles grow with their growth and strengthen with their strength." About one hundred gentlemen sat down to a very excellent dinner. Mr. Miles Barton occupied the chair and Mr. Roskell the vice-chair: After the cloth had been removed, "Non nobis domino" was sung in fine style by a first-rate company of glee singers The Chairman then gave "The King," with three times three. 'The anthem of "God save the King" was then splendidly sting, accompanied by Mr. George Holden on the piano-forte. "The Queen," with three times three; "The Princess Victoria and the rest of the Royal Family," with three times three; "The British Constitution in Church and State," with three times three," and "The Army and Navy," were then given, Captain Richardson, in a neat speech, responded to the toast of the Army and Navy. "The four Conservative members for the county," " The member for the borouzli, Lord Sandon," "The Duke," " Lord Lyndhurst and the House of Peers," Sir Robert Peel and the donservative mem bers of the House of Commons," were then given by the Chair man and enthusiastically responed to. "The health of Mr. James Heyworth," was then given, "the Consei native member for Everton Ward." The toast was enthusiastically received with three times three cheers and one more. Mr. iittYWoliTH, in responding to the toast, said, he should, indeed, be destitute of every feeling of grateful emotion, if he did not, on that occasion, most deeply appreciate the honours able and flattering position which they had bestowed upon him. His friend, their worthy chairman, had stated his embarrass ment in proposing his health, but if his (the chairman's) em barrassment was great, his (Mr. Heyworth's) must be doubly so. They were well aware of the peculiar circumstances in which he was placed, that it could not be an object of very de sirable ambition, on his part, to go into the Town Council. He mentioned this, in order that there might not be attached to ltrn any supposed disregard of their kind opinion whether before or since, in his standing aloof front the election, of the mo tives that influenced them in selecting him out as a proper individual. By their zeal and energy they had obtained a vic tory over their opponents. His sentnnents had uniformly been the seine—those by which he had obtained his present position. In choosing him out as they had done, they had laid him under a debt of gratitude - such as he could not then express to them. (Hear.) It would not be expected, that on such an occasion as that, he should trespass too much on their time. He wished he could only announce in still stronger language than he had done, his opposition to those measures to which they were op posed, hut, he believed, it might be said of truth as of loveli ness, "that it needs not the foreign aid of ornament, but is when unadorned, adorned the most." (Hear.) They all knew from the present constitution of the town of Liverpool, how very in efficient any man's services must be there, fur where there was an immense and servile majority opposed to public opinion, and where there was no possibility of making an impression on those Who differed from them in opinion, they would see that if he did not render very efficient services it was not his own fault. He preferred no claim to talent, but situated as he was, if he had the power of a giant in wisdom and skill it would he all per fectly unavailable, and would fall like dust on the cedar tree or the oak; it would be perfectly impracticable to m , ke an im pression on the council. (Hear.) They must look to the elec tors only of every ward in the town to rectify this. (Cheers.) Redid not Consider:that the council had treated the electors as it ought to' have treated them. Ile considered that deep dis honour had been inflicted on every councillor i n the town. He Would say nothing there that he would hesitate tie say in the council. When he had priiieiple to contend for in the pre sence of an erietny, that nrincifile: he Would COntend"for, how ever inefficient or however 'imperfect he might be. (Hear.) When Lord John Russell first introduced the municipal re form bill, he ushered it into notice by stating that the old cot -orations had become perfect nuisances in as much as they were political engines. What had:been the conduct of the corpora tions under the municipal reform act ? Had they become less political ? Did Loid'John Russell believe in his heart that the new town councils under the retbrm act would conciliate and be less political in their nature, and be more disposed towards effecting the good local government and advantage of the towns in which they existed? He must say he was either strangely ig norant of the workings of that bill, or it was a piece of thorough going Whig trickery. (Hear, hear.) In either case he was in a dilemma; for in one case he was ignorant of the workings of his own bill, or in the 'other it was a bill deceitfully esta blished, under a false pretext, to carry out a political and party end. The event was this: the council was a perfectly political body, and net any subject came under its decision but it was treated as a political question, and by a rule of political adjudi cation every question was disposed of; and the worst of it was, that questions were not even left for the adjudication of the council in theirdeliberations at the Town-hall, but the members of the council congregated in masses at the Angel Inn, to• the extent of forty in number, for the predecision of questions to come under discussion at the Town-hall. And who Were they convened by ? By some great leader of the opposition? No; it was a purely political convening. 'They were convened by the secretary of the liejirrm Association. , (Loud cries of " Hear, hear.") It' this did not give this section of the council the cha racter of a political cabal; lie did not know what could. On the occasion of electing the committee of the dock trust, there was a meeting of forty members of the council to pre -arrange their party. It was, to say the least of it , an act of t he mist paltry cowardice, :for there were•-only ten Mem:beta of the council against them. Tho corporation was a mere political cabal, fol lowing precisely in the footsteps of O'renriell. (Hear.) Mr. Ilev-worth then read an extract from a speech of Mr. O'Con nell, as reported in the London Times, stating the manner in which collision had been avoided between his party and Mr. Sharman Crawford's, on a recent occasion in Dublin, by pre arrangement. Mr. tieyworth contended it was precisely in this way that these:common councilmen bound themselves hand and foot at a meeting at the Angel Inn, and came prepared, what ever discussion might arise in the council, to vote all one way. (Loud cheers.) Ile would ask the electors of -Liverpool whe ther common - sense was*not stultified by such a proceeding? (Hear,) He had another section of their toast to reply to, and .that had reference particularly to the Cause , of conservatives — a cause which he knew to he exceedingly dear to their feelings, as it embraced every thing that was valuable to their families and to the community at large. They knew that on the princi ples of conservatism rightly expouuded and rightly executed depended the stability of the throne and of the whole constitu tion of these realms. There was a great opposition to conser vative associations when they first dawned in London:, and one individual of very considerable authority had expressed his doubts as to the propriety of such proceedings; and unless very strong case of necessity hail been made out, lie s hould have-said it would be very desirable for individuals connected together in societies net to beta:one (*posed to each other; but what would have been the ronaequence, if some steps had not been taken in support of conservative principles, when treason and and rebellion were stalking abroad through the land un.d)er.,ttee specious garb of "reform.

(Hear.) He could neither see the fear of the Lord, nor the fear of the King, nor stability of purpose in the alterations that had been made. He considered the system of education introduced calculated to supplant sound religion and sound learning. It introduced into the minds of the poor of the town latitudinarian principles, and the operation of these schools w ay in a very short time-be found opposed to ell description of religion, to all morality, and to all sound education. An at tempt had been made to unite what never could be united—to bring together the Protestant and Roman Catholic into one school by sacrificing the Bible, to which the protestant parent could never accede, (loud cheering,) because in that book is embodied the great guide of titan through life in all - his sie lions, and its knowledge alone can conduce to immortality hereafter. They were no t t o b e deterred from this; they hail gladly responded to the offers that had been made them try Christian s , and had come forward on Protestant principle Or erect schools in which they might have the entire word of Got read to them. Ile was sorry to be compelled to comment on their Cotincillors as he had dnue, but he was not of that natnre to s a y there betore them what he would not say lsefore t!re term -61 when the opportunity offered. lie believed he might say they would give hint credit for that. (Hear.) Ile Would not longer detain them. He concluded with 'imposing time worthy chairman Mr. Miles Barton, and success to the Kir kJale Con• seryative Association."

(Loud cheers.).

(Cheers.) , The Chairman proPtised " the grind hld toWn of Liverpool aid the trade thereof," which was responded to by Mr. Putters who proposed "the tiVerPool Tradesmen's Conservative Asso ctation.'!

"The health of Mr. JaMes," was then pro po!ed and acknowledged by that gcn!leinan. lifter w hich . the toast of " the Vice-presidents" was given; and responded to by Mr. Reskell. "'she Conservative electors ‘d Everton and Kirkdale," was then drank; - and " The Canvassers of the ard," which toast was ably responded to by rsl r. LeUson. The com pany then broke up shortly after 11 o'clock, the greatest h. f umy prevai ing throughou' THE THEATuE, The attractions df Mi'. ail(' Mrs. Wood has, drifiiig the hist week, filed the theatre with fashionable audiencei. We con fess we are not surprised at this, though they have recently con cluded rather a lengthy engagement at this theatre, and th operas performed have presented no new features of attraction, but are those which have been many times repeated before the Liverpool audience. None who have once heard MrA. Wood pour out the volume of sWeiit sounds which she has at such per: feet command can resist the desire, whet, the oppertunity:offers, of again enjoying the treat. Notwithstatioing the immense vu' lutne of melody, and unrivalled execution and tonnuand of voice, which have, for mall' years, distingitished alts. Wood, she appears to us to possess new beauties and attractions each • time we hear her. From her recent absence truth the •tnglish public she has burst upon them again, like the buttertly'frout the chrysalis, in all the joyousness of untivalled song. We last night heard the English version of the Italian opera,'" La Sons nainbula," in which she played th'e pint of Amiga, the Sonhnm , bulist, and though we have heard her in tile sante character frequently before, we never heard her halt more delight, nor ever heard her execution more brilliant and (baste, nor het volume of tone more full and melodious. In annest every song she Was rapturously and loudly app!-traded. Tte line bass voice of Mr. Brodie', who played as Count li'u d 1,,h, told extremely well in the choruses. Several itirs were also ,ttng. by Mr. Wood with great sweetness and tastes Mrs. Bland, as Lit.a, played and sang in that way which had established her in public opinion, as a unit pleasing ant effective actr , ss. Mr. Horneastle, too, played as Ateviio, with a natural simplicity and humour characteristic of consideiable ability. To-night Mr. and Mrs. Wood take their benefit, id the opera i.f " Love in a village ;" which is announced as theft last appearanse. We cannot help thinking, however, so well supported as th? theatre hai been, during the engagements ot Mr. and Mis. Wood, that the management should have gut up shine opera which would be new to the Liverpool public, rather than repeat three or four operas in a continuous round till the attraction of incident was lost, and nothing left but Mts. Wood's unrivalled voice. We think the management ought to have met the public with the sante liberal spirit which the i•ubs lie has shown towa ds e theatre. Miss Faucit we see takes her benefit on Monday, with Sheridan Knowles' fine Way of " Virginias." We wiire much pleased with her Ophelia iii " Hamlet," as an original and very talented performance. She is an actress of no mean merit, htiil we trust she may have such a house as will repay lter in stnne measure for the long fag she has had through the sea Son. Mr. Andre*s, a most useful stock actor, also, We perecite, take( his benefit on Tuesday night. THE Ltvna speaking of the lea)s of magi= cians and ventriloquists there is generally a pretty considera= b'e quantity of those flowers of rheti.ric which have not inaptly been termed " bohnca.' We can assure our readers we are not bouncing, hoWever, when we tell them that Mr. Sutton'i exhibition at the Liver Theatre embodies some of the most ex traordinary and clever feats that can well be imagined. It would lie impossible for us to describe the numerous tricks and deceptions pracrs.al, which bailie the scrutinizing and vigilant eyes of hundreds or earnest watchers; we can only recommend those who have not seen him to go and judge for themselves. We can assure them !hey will be both astonished and delighted; , and some of the moor stipelStitiOUs-Willo we doubt not, be tempt. • - ed to designate hint'whi.t we heard an old lady the other night describe him as she was leaving the theatre, as " the devil," or having " some dealing, with him."'
