THE LIVERPOOL STANDARD, TUESDAY, OCTOBER 28, 1851. TO CORRESPONDENTS. JUSTITIA draws our attention to the charge made by Mr. Town Councillor Fernihough, at the Vauxhall meeting, on Monday nielit last, against the reporters of the press of Liverpool. The charge was, that the reporters invariably neglected to communicate to the public the important speeches made at the meetings Mr. Fernihough attended, and only recorded the unimportant ones. It is obvious that Mr. Fernihough means that his own speeches, which he considers the most important made, wherever he is, have not in general been chronicled in the journals at full length, with all their delicacies of expression, and all their fl wers of oratory. But other people may have a different opinion of the importance of Mr. Fernihough's remarks from that entertained by that gentleman himself; and we believe that newspaper reporters, who are the very best judges of really sensible, useful, or eff e tive speeches, differ from Mr. Fernihough in the estimate of his oratory. We believe, too, that the public think they hear quite enough of his 'sayings and doings; and that if his speeches could be curtailed to about one-half of their present length in the journals, common sense and common patience would not thereby be damnified. We have every reason to be satisfied with the general faithfulness of the reports furnished to us by the gentlemen we employ; and we can only beseech Mr. Fernihough to moderate a little his opinion of himself as a public man. We recommend him to read a little poem by Barns, in which he will find this most sensible wish :-- "0 wad some power the giftie gie us To see ourselves as others see us. It wad frae mony a blunder free us, And foolish notion." A PROTESTANT, who complains of the small attendance at St. Martin's Church, in comparison to the full congregation that used to be there when the Rev. Nicholas Robinson ministered, attributes the falling off to the Puseyite practices and doctrines of the present minister. He says that he himself left off frequenting St. Martin's Church on account of the innovations introduced ; and thus observes—" Surely the fact of so thin a congregation is an argument for the sound ness of the Protestantism professed by the once z'•alous attendants of St. Martin's, who, evidently, would rather leave the said 'church, notwithstanding their attachment to it, than permit their orthodoxy to he tampered with by new fangled doctrines calculated to weaken their faith and lead their 'minds to think more of forms tharp substance of human ceremonies than of Christ."

Kiberpoot taiibarb. TUESDAY MORNING, OCT. 28, 1851 THE :KAFFIR DISASTERS-WHO ARE THE AUTHORS ? OvR affairs in South Africa are assuming a most critical and alarming position. Every mail brings us intelligence of new disasters and fresh failures. The lives of our soldiers, the property of our colonists, the money from our treasury, are frittered away in an inglorious and protracted war Of miserable skirmishes with savages who vanish the moment they are attacked, and who reappear, . . - in every undefended quarter, in swarms, ravaging, plundering, and , destroying, as barbarians only can. In vain do our brave troops march and counter- march, and storm the mountain fastnesses, and drive the enemy from their hiding places. No sooner is the work done, and the foeare apparently dispersed, than news is brought that they have re taliated with tenfold effect upon the colonial terri- tory, and carried off spoil much more than sufficient to indemnify them for the loss they may have sus tained. -In consequence of the extended line of frontier, and the insufficiency of troops to defend it, the Kaffir chiefs are able to outmanoeuvre our general, and to render all his military operations of no practical effect. To add to the , -mischief, defec tions of the hitherto neutral coloured population are occurring, and the chiefs of the " sovereignty" are in open rebellion against us. These will be, in deed, most 'formidable foes. Sir H.Smith has, as is reported, • demanded ten thousand soldiers from England, •declaring that they will be required to save the- colony. He still, however, maintains his ground, and holds fast to the policy of occupying Kaffraria. The Board of Defence of Graham's Town have presented to him a memorial demanding the enrolment of every able-bodied man. They state that within six weeks the enemy had swept off from the district of Somerset alone upwards of 20,000 sheep, 3,000 head of cattle, and 300 horses; that since the commencement of the war 200 farm-houses in the north-east border had been re duced to ashes ; and that a large amount of bread, corn, •and other property, had been wantonly de stroyed. The Governor, in reply, reminded the memorialists that they had been called on before to •enrol,'hut that they had not responded.; and added, that had they armed en masse at the proper time, and when he had required them, their country would not have been in the desperate condition in which it stood. These are the leach nglacts brought by the last mail, Hearing such disastrous tidings, it is natural that we at home should charge either the Government here, or the GovernorAt the Cape, with shameful want of foresight in not•having made adequate „provision for the safety of the colony, or with gross incapacity in ap plying th e means provided. As usual, -an .attempt is made to shift the blame off the real authors of these melancholy events, and to throw it on the wrong shoulders. Sir Harry Smith, whose military genius and skill at Aliwal all will remember, is hunted down and decried as a general, in order to spare Lord Grey's wilful mis deeds, and uphold him as a minister. But this old Downing-street trick must not be allowed to be successfully performed. Whatever may have been the tactics of Sir B. Smith in dealing with the enemy, Lord Grey and his coadjutors and advisers, the colonial reformers and the false economists, are the men who have brought our settlements in South Africa to their present deplorable state. Theoretic constitution tinkering, the introduction of political much more formidable enemies to deal with in the Hottentots. They unite all the cunning of the Kaffirs with the skill in using fire-arms and choos ing positions of the white men. When we have settled them, we will have peace proclaimed very soon." Of course we will, when we have settled them. But when will that he ? Echo answers— when ? At the moment we write, the fact has transpired that Mr. Hawes has retired from the colonial office, and that Mr. Frederick Peel has accepted the under-secretaryship. But this ungenerous sacrifice of an underling will not satisfy public indignation ; the head and front of our whole colonial mismanagement, Earl Grey himself, must he removed. As to Mr. Frederick Peel, we sincerely lay him. Chained to the crotchetty Earl, his official life will be a wretched one; he will have to bear all the blame, and be sacrificed in the end, like his predecessor. THE MUNICIPAL ELECTIONS BEFORE we next address our readers, the Bur gesses of Liverpool will he required to perform a very serious and important public duty, and to exercise discreetly a highly valued franchise. On Saturday next they will have to make selection of sixteen fit and proper men—in the room of sixteen Councillors who retire by rotation—to represent them in the Town Council, and to administer the affairs of the Corporation. It is our duty to exhort them, on the eve of the election, to make a wise, unbiassed, deliberate choice. We presume not to recommend a single candidate, or to make a critical reflection upon ony one who has already served in the Council, or who offers himself for election ; but. we implore our fellow -townsmen to weigh well and fairly the merits of each gentleman, to inquire rigidly into tris antecedents, to make sure of his personal respectability, and above all to ascertain that he is a man of large commercial views, of steady business habits, of known integrity, and of undoubted substance. Such men only ought to be raised to the important position of Councillors of the borough of Liverpool. It should be borne in mind that this is no ordinary Corporation ; that it has enormous funds to administer; that it has the wants find conveniences of an immense population to provide for; that it.bas public works of stupen dous magnitude to preserve, improve, and to construct ; that it has daily claims on its attention demanding incessant watching, judgment, and despatch. Ordinary persons may - figure creditably enough in little boroughs ; but the noble and daily extending town and port of Liverpool requires men of 'first•rate intelligence and of the highest com mercial standing adequately to administer her finances and to guard her complicated interests. The present moment is singularly advantageous for a calm, judicious selection, for no strong party ques tions now agitate the minds of the burgesses, excite their prejudices, or bias their judgment. The great, the predominant demand of all parties now is ECONOMY- 'REDUCTION OF EXPENDITURE, and DIMINUTION OP 'TAXATION. Let Councillors be elected whO will .keep down the borough rates at the lowest amount consistent with the due mainte nance of the necessary establishments, and who will worthily represent, in the eyes of the world, the wealth, the enterprise, the energy, and the integrity of the second .port and town in her Majesty's dominions. THE FRENCH POLITICAL RIDDLE. THE good people of Paris are still in the enjoyment of their favourite luxury—a ministerial crisis.. They talk on it, jest on its, speculate on it, dance on it, sing on it, and are happy on it. What is very remarkable, they don't seem to get tired of it. They have had the same species of game served up to them every day for the last fortnight—hot, cold, re heated, stewed, broiled—yet, strange to say, they have not yet exhibited any symptom of dististe, or remonstrated against this toujour perdrix. Certainly Louis Napoleon, like an artistic chef as he is, fur nishes them with an abundance of sauce piquante to tickle their palates, and keep their appetites from palling. He supplies excitement with a rare genius for invention. -One morning he summonses a Legitimist don to the Elysee, and the ladies of the Fouxbourg St. Germain are in extacies. In the afternoon the Legitimist chief announces that he has succeeded in doing nothing; and then reaction takes place, and cambric handkerchiefs are in great request among the dowagers, while the rest of Paris is indulging in roars of laughter. The next morning the President sends for a Democratic leader, and instantly there is jubilation in the Fauxbourg St. Antoine ; but as the day advances, this, too, receives a sudden check, and the party of order has a hearty laugh at the expense of the disappointed Reds. A third morning an Orleanist receives an invitation, with a similar result; and so on through the divisions of parties in Paris, whose name is legion. The President seems to have discovered the magic art of pleasing everybody by pleasing nobody. Perhaps he is endeavouring to prove to France that she can get on well enough without any Ministers at all That at least would be an intelligible solution of his private and personal views. The riddle pro pounded by the Prince has defied ti agitation, pertinacious efforts to force a convict population on the unwilling colonists—these have divided the inhabitants of the Cape, one against the .other,—these have exasperated them against the parent country, and rendered them incapable of , combining fur their common defence against the hordes of wild tribes that prowl along their frontier. No governor, no general could have organised for effective "self-protection . so disorganised a commu nity. Had he a sufficient military force at his dis posal, the General might justly have been censured for not having suppressed war and rebellion where ever they sprang up. But Lord Grey and the economists took care to reduce the number of sol diers to an amount that rendered them incapable, ,er any generalship, of performing the services required of them. The expense of this wretched warfare cannot be less than two millions, indepen dent of the charge which the colonists will bring, as in the last Kaffir war, upon the imperial tree sury, for indemnification of their plundered cattle, speculate here upon what will be the conclusion their ravaged crops, and their burnt farm-buildings. of the game for power, now playing on the This will be a pretty price to pay for having a chess board of France. The, persons sent for crotchetty minister of the family alliance presiding by the President, and asked to undertake to over the Colonial Office.

The fact is, the public men of France responsible authors of our sullied honour and our are, almost without exception, a pack of inveterate tarnished reputation. The galvanic efforts made intriguers, without principle or candour. They are by some of the thick-and-thin ministerial journals, all trying to circumvent each other. One faction to make light of the war, would be simply ridicu- wants to restore Henri V., another to bring in the Thus only that the subject is so grave.

In fact, most people as President in May next year. The only way in Qui4 imp cops del' the war at an end. But we have which the Prinet ,car baffle these combined intri. ingenuity of She wittiest and most ingenious peo ple in the world. To repeal the elective law of May, and yet make not the slightest concession to democratic ideas ! There is the puzzle; but where is the Edipus to solve it ? Probably be threw down this riddle to amuse the minds of his oppo nents while he prepared some grand coup de genie. Be that'as it may, no one has as yet been able to pluck out the heart of his mystery. The crisis. as it is called, instead of progressing towards a lucid termination, has retrograded into a lower depth of profundity. To add to the difficulty, he has forti fied the second position of his problem by declar ing the Departments of the Cher and Nievre in a state of siege, a decree that has caused the gentle men who advocate a republic, democratic and social, to look horribly aghast. It is useless to guers, is either by some sudden coup d'ltat, which we do not tbink he will attempt, or by adhering strictly to the letter and spirit of the law. By acting with firmness, and confining him self to the means placed by the constitution at his disposal, he may triumph, may effect the repeal of the law of May, and may render him self eligible for re-election as President. The last on dit is, that M. Billault has finally failed, after three or four attempts, in forming a ministry; and that the Prince desires to make terms with his old ministry, and, in order to soften their hearts, has invited them to dine with him. Who can say what effect sparkling champagne and most princely conversation will have on M. Faucher and his con freres ? Time, time alone, can tell. The 4th of November is fast approaching, when the National Assembly must meet, and Louis Napoleon give an account of his proceedings and policy. Till then we have no hope that the present tangled skein of French politics will be unravelled.

MARRIAGE OF Rd 1 7 /D HODGSON, ESQ, It will be seen, by reference to the usual record in our paper, that our resp •cted and influential townsman, David Hodgson, Esq., formed a matrimonial alliance on the 11th instant—a tact which, from some unaccountable mistake, was onsitted from our impres , ion of the follow ing Tuesday. It is unnecessary to allude to Mr. Hodg son's long and honourable connection with Liverpool ; but we may remind our readers that when he was Mayor, in 1846, Prince Albert laid the foundation stone of the Sailors' Home, and distinguished the Mayor in a marked manner. We may also call to recollection, that when the Queened the Prince were at Carlisle some three 'tars ago, on their return from Balmoral, his Royal Highness singled out Mr. Hodgson from among the Carlisle Rail way Directors, shook hands with him, and greeted him most warmly. Likewise, when her Majesty was at Lan caster a few weeks ago, on her way to this town, the Prince honoure " !iar recogni. tion, and spoke to him in the most flattering manner Lastly, when her Majesty was at the Town Hall, she commanded his presence; and the Prince once again greeted him as an old friend, and conferred with him for some moments. It is rarely that a citizen, however honoured by the respect of his fellows, receives such repeated marks of Royal favour. The GREAT EXHIBITION: COUNCIL MEDALS The subjoiteq protest as drawn up, signed, and sent to the that their award in favor of Messrs.

Should such a decision of the council of chairmen respecting. ittp..r. wood be reported to the Royal Coniinissioners, the jurors who transmit this memorial beg most respectfully to point out to his Royal Highness and the Royal Commissioners that, in this iberation the jury, Class 10 A, specially qualified and selected in conse quence of technical knowledge of the objects to be submitted to its judgment, and which received subsequent confirmation from the group of •associated juries, has been set aside by a body of gentlemen, who, distinguished as they are f or th e i r neral attainments, may have no sr ' and teel , -" know- ledge of piano -fortes and piano -forte making, nor have they in their capacity as chairmen (except chairman ofClass 10 A, whose opinion and statements ought to have had due weight) even in spected or being called upon to become acquainted with the in struments upon which the award which they rejected was made. In_ spite of this fact. the responsibility of the award w ir ` , ll pro/.

With this statement is transmitted' an extract from an official document, setting forth the special mechan!cal im provements on which Messrs. Broadwoods' claims are founded. And the memorialising jurors conclude by expressing their conviction that the house of Messrs. Broadwood has e m i nent l y fulfilled every single condition contained in the instructions to the juries,' combining in the instruments novelty of inven tion, (of considerable importance and usefulness,) perfection of workmanship, beauty of design, and superior qu a lity o f t one. — ( Signed ) Henry.

EDGAR incites the LATEST INTELLIGENCE. BY ELECTRIC TELEGRAPH LONDON, MONDAY. CENTRAL CRIMINAL COURT.—The October sessions opened to-day. On the application of Mr. Clarkson, a postponement till Wednesday of a forgery case, in con nection with which the name of a certain sporting noble man has been mentioned, has been granted. SIR JOHN FRANKLIN.—The Globe says the Admiralty has come to no decision to send out an expedition in search of Sir J. Franklin next spring. The offer of Captain Penny was declined, as was a further proposal from another officer for a land search along the northern coast of Asia. A committee has been appointed, com bining three officers best. acquainted with the Arctic seas, with two others of rank and character in the general service. Before this committee all the papers will be laid, and their report has been called for on the conduct of the late expedition. The Globe conti nues :--" As the facts on which the supposed condem nation of Captain Austin rests are unfounded, we need hardly add that the conclusion is incorrect. But nothing can be more unfair than to argue that a fur ther expedition is a condemnation of those that have returned. Sir James Ross, Captains Austin, Penny, Sir John Ross, Commander Forsyth, and the American expedition have unfortunately failed ; but it is absurd to lay down the principle that the discontinuing the search must be a condemnation of the conduct of all, or any one, of those who have been employed unsuccessfully. Capt. Austin's conduct, as well as that of the others, will come before the committee which is now sitting. On this question they will have to declare a judgment. In justice to the public, it ought to be ascertained whether there has been any mismanagement of the resources generously provided ; and the gallant officer has likewise the right to the verdict of a court competent to form an opinion whe ther or not he is guilty of the imputations which have been so perseveringly poured upon him, even before his arrival in this country. In the meantime, it is to be hoped that, in common fairness, the efforts to prejudice the public mind may be discontinued, at least while the subject is under investigation."
