By order of the Board. THOMAS A. CORLETT, Manager, ROYAL LISCARD UNION STEAM PACKET COM- A PANY., T the MEETING o f the SHAREHOLDERS held at the Clarendou-rooms. on SATURDAY, the 14th instant, pur suant to public advertisement, after the folloi Report of te Provisional Committee was, read, the subjo w iue ng d Resolutio h ns were entered into for establishing the Company. REPORT. The Provisional Committee deem it proper state to the Subscribers that in consequence of the unprec ented number of applications for Shares, they were desirous t meet the wishes 101 the Public, and :hey were ind uce d t o e n d the objects of the Company, under the expectation that th adjoinini , property or ab ou t t h ree acres, with a front age t o th e r i ver of 83 yards, might be o bt a i ne d on advantageous terms, but in consequence of =that property being under lease for seven years, they have on 4 nore 'nature deliberation decidel to confine the present objects 'of this Company to the original Prospectus, and they do so the more reality as the owner of the adjoining property is ready to come under an engagement to sell it to the Company on the terms stated in the second Prospectus, when the present lease expires, or at an earlier period. if this Company can make an arrangement with the lesSee. It Must be evident to the Sub scribers that it is very desirable to possess that property, and 'they can, if they think proper, authorise the Directors to. con- elude the purchase with the present owner at any time before the expiration of the lease that the Company may approve of. The original Prospectus being, then, the one now adopted, your Committee beg to call your attention to it. [The same was then read.] They also lav on the table a Plan of the Ground, drawn out and certified by Messrs. Shotwell and Smith, Surveyors, and they beg to call the attention of the Subscribers to the detailed estimate made out by those gentlemen. From this it will be seen that a fund of £BOOO is reserved for carrying on the objects .of the Company; and this your Committee think sufficiently ample, as they are of oyinion that it will he m ore a d vantageous to contra c t for hire of Steam Boats than purchasing them, but iu (~ase it be hereafter deemed advisable to purchase Steamers, your C o mmittee would suggest the introd uc ti on o f a c l ause i nto the Deed o f Settlement giving the necessary power to the Di rectors to raise money for that or any other needful purposes considered beneficial to the concern, either by mortgage or creating new shares; either of those plans to be previously ap proved at a public meeting of the Proprietors to be convened for that purpose. And as the Owner and Mortgagees of the Pro perty have consented to let the greater portion of their money remain at interest fur a twelvemonth, not more than £lO per share of the Subscribed Capital will probably be required to be paid up within that period. RESOLUTIONS: ~.:That the C ompany b e now foiled under the title of " The tPyal Liscard Union Steam-packet Company." That Mr. M. L. Pritchard, Mr. Frederick Rowlinson, and Mr. Wm. Kilshaw be the Trustees in whom the Property is to be vested. That five of the Subscribers, holding at least Ten Sh ares eac h in thei r own names, be Directors, and that three be a quorum, for the purpose of conducting a n d manag i ng the affairs of the C 0 vv. a n P to be chosen on the last Frida in May e Bankers of this Company. That Messrs. Rowlinson, Howard, and Wyche, be the Soli citors to the Company, and that they prepare the necessary beed for the Signature of the Subscribers. That when the said Deed is so Signed, the Directors be em- Powered to carry into effect the objects of this Company. , That th e f o ll ow i ng Sh are h o ld ers be the Directors to conduct the affairs of this Company to the 14th May, 1837: Mr. Peter Cornthwaite, Mr. John Davies, Mr. Joseph Hardwick, Mr. John Kilshaw, Mr. John Portas. That a C o py o f the Report, and the above Resolutions, be Published in two of the Liverpool newspapers, and that such of The Subscribers as have not yet paid their Deposits be required to pay the same into the Commercial Bank, on or before SA TURDAY next, the 21st instant; and that all Shares not then taken up b e di spose d o f b y t h e D irectors i n whatever manner they may think most for the benefit of this Company.

T o render the desirableness and even necessity, for the forma.; lion of a Joint Stock Company with a sufficient capital for such i 't purpose apparent, we nee d j ust ment i on the facts, that the late Mr..„Boulton expended about £17,000 in experiments on the Steam Engine before Wutt perfected its construction, and occasioned any return of profit. Messrs. Need and Strutt, of berby, also expended a large fortune upon the inventions of th e late Sir Richard Arkwright, before the mechanical con trivatices of that extraordinary man realized any [motif. And the frequent remunerations made by Parliament to' individuals • who have spent large sums in completing their inventions, not "lily show the necessity of a large capital, but also that which is of more importance to the public, namely, how slow must be the developement of those mighty powers and energies which , )et lie hidden in the mysteries of nature and science, when so great a drain of pecuniary m eans o f pr i vate i n di v id ua l s i s quir e d to carry their inventions into practical effect.

The Directors have secured the refusal of several very con venient pieces of Ground for the proposed Establishment in the vicinity" of London, each of them of sufficient capacity to admit of greatly extending the Manufactory in the event of its being deemed expedient.

I PROSPECTUS OF THE MANCHESTER PURCHASE AND IMPROVEMENT ASSOCIATION. (LIMITED TO A PERIOD OF TWENTY-ONE YEARS.) A T a petiod, like the present, of great enterprize, and of et 11 unexampled commercial pro s p e rity, it i atural that the public attention should b e d rawn t o schet of corresponding magnitude, and w hi c h, i n l ess prosperous hues, would not be conceived, or would languish for want of support. Among the many, there must needs be some of a speculative character, or of questionable utility, but the reflecting mind will not be deterred by that consideration from receiving with favour those of a beneficial tendency, under the conviction that the princi ples of this Association will be fairly examined and duly ap preciated, the originators of it proceed to develope their views. They are convinced that the undertaking now proposed offers great contingent advantages to some, with positive and perma nent good to all who may embark in it. This cannot be ob tained by the investment of Capital on objects in themselves purely speculative, or which p?omise only a remote, or a low degree of present remuneration; nor can it be accomplished by a society of too extended a duration. It may, however, be ob tained by the application cf Capital to purposes producing an immediate, an increasing, and a handsome rate of profit, pro -1 vided the affairs of the Society be wound up within a reasonable period. If the elements of prosperity for such an undertaking exist anywhere, they are to be found in MANCHESTER—the second town in the kingdom in point of wealth and population—the Emporium 'of the Cotton Manufacture—already drawing into its dominion trades formerly alien or little known to it—be coming, in short, THE MART OF GENERAL MANUFACTURES. It is evident that the force of wealth and population must carry the value of property, in front and other eligible situations, i n such a town to an amaz i ng pit c h. I n f act, it is only necessary lo keep it fur a limited period, in order to realize great profit ; but if, when kept, it receives the assistance of a due, but econo mical expenditure, so as to be rendered available to more bene ficial purposes, or enlarged according to the exigencies of the times, the result will be a very large return for the Capital laid out. It is proposed, therefore, to employ the Inds of this Society in the purchase and improvement of sue property; and it is quite obvious that a l arge C a pit a l, suc h a a Public Company can command, steadily and judiciously employed on this prin ciple, will produce the desired result. On this system, dividends will be made to the Shareholders, leaving a high rate of annual income after, securing to them (if they think proper) a return of capital by means of Life Insurance. To this advantage will be added the prospect of becoming, at the expiration of a limited period of years, the possessors o f th e w h o l e of the property or Capital of the Company. Each Subscriber is to name a life in respect of every Share he may hold, and the Subscribers whose nominees shall be in existence at the end of the limited period of years, or their respective rep resen t a ti ves , are to b e entitled, in proportion to the number of Shares which they may respectively hold at that time tbr the lives of such nominees, to the whole Capital or Property of the Society, which is to be sold, and the net pro ceeds are to be divided among them accordingly. A period of twenty-one years is fixed as the duration of this undertaking, in order to avoid the evident evils of a plan of too protracted au , existence. With the above views, therefore, it is proposed to form a JOINT STOCK COMPANY. to be called " THE MANCHESTER PURCHASE AND IMPROVEMENT ASSOCIATION." The Capital to be 1.:500,000, divided into 5003 Shares of £lOO etch, and to be employed in the purchase and improvement of Freehold and Leasehold Property situate within the Boroughs of Manchester and Salford. The Company is to exist for twenty-one years from the date of its Deed of Settlement. As soon as 1000 Shares shall have been subscribed for, the Company shall shall be considered as funned. The Directors shall have the power of disposing at a premium, or otherwise, of such shares (if any) as shall remain unappi opriated after the period fixed upon for receiving applications for shares shall have elapsed. Each subscriber shall, on or before the first day of January next name a life in respect of each Share which he may hold, or he may name one life in respect of several Shares. Each Subscriber, or his representatives, shall be entitled, in _proportion t o th e num b er o f Sh ares su b scr i bed for by him, to a share of The crear annual inc ome t o ar i se f rom the Capital or Property of the Society during the whole twenti-one years, whether the lives named by him shall have ceased to exist or not. But the Subscribers, only, whose nominees shall be in existence at the end of that period, or their representatives, shall be entitled in proportion to the number 01 Shares then held by them for the lives or those nominees to the whole Capital or Pro perty of the Company, which is to be sold, as before-mentioned, for their benefit. The accounts of the Society shall be balanced up to the thirty•first day of December in every year of its duration, and the clear annual income of the current year, up to that day, shall be divided among the Shareholders. A meeting of the Shareholdeas shall be called by the Di rectors for the time being, at least six calendar mouths before the end of the 21 years, in order to decide upon the mode and time (such time not to exceed three years) in which the Society shall be brought to a close. The interest of the Shareholders shall be in the nature of personal estate. The property of the Company shall be vested in three Trus tees, to be appointed at a General Meeting of the Shareholders, and a vacancy by death or otherwise in the number of such Trustees shall be supplied in like manner. The business of the Company shall be under the manage ment of seven Directors, three of whom shall form a quorum. The Directors shall be chosen at the first General Meeting of the Shareholders, to be called by the Provisional Committee ; two of them shall retire at every General Annual Meeting. The retiring Directors may be re-elected. There shall be a General Annual Meeting of the Share holders in the month of March 1838, and in every successive year, at which a Report shall be made of the state of the Society, and its general interests shall be considered :—previous to such Meeting the accouuts of the Company shall be audited by , two persons to be appointed at the preceding General Meeting. The business at every General Meeting shall be decided by vote; every Shareholder possessing five Shares shall have one vote, and, if more, one additional vote for every successive number of five Shares which he may hold, but so that no Shareholder shall have more than six votes. No person shall have a right to vote or any other right than to receive his dividends in respect of any Share after the life named in respect of such Shares shall have dropped. No person shall hold more than 100 Shares at any one time. With a view to prevent speculative applications, each Share holder shall be required to pay on allotment a deposit of £5, per Share, and shall afterwa r d s pay suc h f urt h ercalls as the Direc tors shall require, nut exceeding £5 per Share at any one time nor more than £2O per Share in any one year, audio that three months' notice at the least shall be given of each call, and three mouths at the least intervene between the payment of each call. But an additional call (not exceeding ,£lO per Share in any one year) may be m a d e , i n case t h e same shall b e decided on by a General Meeting of Shareholders, to be specially con vened for that purpose. The Shares of all persons who shall refuse to pay any call within the time prescribed, or to execute the Deed of Settlement of the Company within twenty-one days after such notice as the Directors shall appoint, or who shall not name their re spective lives within the time and in the mode above mentioned, shall, at the discretion of the Directors, be forfeited, and be come part of the general Stock of the Company. Shareholders shall be at liberty to transfer their Shares to such persons as the Directors shall approve, and shall thence forth be discharged from all liability to the Company. The Directors shall cause a Deed of Settlement to be pre pared for carrying into effect the objects of the Company, the Draft of which shalt be submitted to a Special General Meeting of Shareholders; and, when finally settled, such Deed shall constitute The Deed of Settlement of the Company, and shall be executed by all the Shareholders.

EAST INDIA. BANK. CAPITAL, 2,000,000,, IN 40,000 SHARES OF £5O EACH. Deposit upon Allotment £1 per Share. THE Administration of th e EAST INDIA BANK will be subject to the control and superintendence of an English Board of Directors, without fettering the just independence and efficiency of an Indian Direction. It will rigidly adhere to a liberal system of legitimate banking, avoiding, on the one hand, the mercantile adventures and speculative investments of its borrowed capital, which have issued in such cala ous con sequences, and, on the other, that injudicious ution which cramps the healthful and stimulating em lo nt of capital for the purposes of re-production. It is pre med that if these ob jects be carried out in practice, the EAST INDIA BANK will not only insure the full confidence of the native population, but become the medium for the distribution of English capital in those innutherable channels which require to be enriched by its invigorating influence. New and strong ties of connexion will be formed between the capitalists and producers in both countries, it being proposedlo reserve one fourth of the Shares for the con - unercial classes of Calcutta; and it is not chimerical to expect that the proposed Banking Association will awaken an intense interests in the improving, and still improve the resources of India. The advantages which the EAST INDIA BANK holds out to those who invest in its stock arc,—the unvarying value of sound Indian investments,—the amount of business which a Bank constituted upon the principles above developed can t►ansact in the absence of an effective competition, —and the large profits which Indian banking has habitually yielded even under a defective and an exclusive system of administra tion.

Agencies to be established in every Foreign Market the trade of which being of sufficient importance to justify such connexion. The Shares to be divided in the following proportions, viz.:-- Liverpool District, 5,000 Shares ; Manchester District, 5,000 Shares ; Glasgow and Edinburgh, 5,000 Shares ; Yorkshire, 5,000 Shares; provided, however, it may appear to the Pro visional Management that a more extended distribution will ad vance the interests of the Establishment, they will be empow ered to alter or increase the proportion laid down above, so es to embrace such towns as may be interested in the general ob jects of the Company. The remaining Shares to be offered to the different Foreign Agencies, in such proportion as the Di rection may think most advisable. Should an increase of Capital be required to meet the wishes of the different Home or Foreign Stations, a creation of new Shares to take place, and such Premium charged as the state and prospects of the Company at the time shall warrant, the direction in fixing the same being carried to the credit of the Bank. Each person on becoming a Shareholder shall pa y 2s. 6d. per Share to the credit of th e Provisional Committee, for the pur pose of defraying the Expences incidental to the formation of the Company.

Future calls not to exceed £2 10s. per Share, and at such time as the Direction shall decide upon, giving one mouth's notice. 'l he establishment of this Company will confer great benefits upon the community by giving solidity and a boniz fide charactey to the money transactions of our foreign commerce. The faci lities which it will afford to Merchants and Shippers and the en couragement which it will in all cases give to real operations,. will tend to promote a steady and well r egu lat e d i n t erc h ange o f commodities with the different markets in which we trade, whilst the just controul which it will be enabled to exercise over the fluctuations of money will effectually check those operations upon the course of exchange which are so injurious to the re gular trader, producing at the same time a degree of certainty in the result of mercantile speculations to which our present imperfect system of money communication is an effectual bar. The evils which have resulted from the unnatural combina tion of the two distinct professions, that of the merchant and the banker, have been felt, and by this Company will be obviated. Confining its attention exclusively to banking operations, it is presumed that its assistance will be the more readily em braced, and its local situation, in the heart of the great produc ing districts of the country, will establish it at once as the most direct and least expensive medium of exchange and disemint for our large and increasing foreign commerce. To assist in carrying into effect these valuable objects a Lon don banker will be appointed, with whom bills on the Company may be made payable, and foreign paper exchanged through the central money market of the kingdom, free of extra com mission. Previous to laying this Prospectus Lefore the Public, the Provisional Committee have addressed circulars to most of the leading Merchants and Manufacturers in the Counties to which the Bank is proposed to extend, stating more at large their views, and claiming for the .establishment that support which its merits deserve, at the same time requesting any suggestion or information necessary to render it as little liable to objection as possible. In this course they are happy to' say that their views have been fully met. • Applications for Shares may be made to (if by l e tt er , post paid) Messrs.

We have again to remind our readers that we cannot insert any notices of marriages unless they are properly authenticated, and that no attention will be paid to anonymous communica tions of this description. We cannot undertake to search the parish registers for the necessary proofs in order to avoid the annoyance to which we have unintentionally subjected some - parties by inserting marriages that had not been contracted. Zbe iLiberpool FRIDAY MORNING, MAY 20, 1836. We received yesterday New York papers to the 26t1 April. The following are the most interesting extracts, showing the state of war and morals in the land 01 liberty : From the Savannah Georgian—Extra, of ziprit 17. FROM FLORIDA. The Santee, Captain Brooks, arrived this morning from Picolata, Black Creek, Sac. via Jacksonville, Bm. We learn from an officer of the army, a passenger in the Santee, that when the boat left the above places, cot the slightest intelligence had been received of the move ments of General Scott and the forces under his command.' •A letter , dated Bth or 9th instant, had been received at Black Creek from Cap tain Lendrum, commanding at Fort Drane, in which was enclosed a note received by express from Captain Gates, the commandant at Fort Icing, stating that intelligence had been received from Geu. Eustis who with the left wing of the army, had reached Pilaklikalia, (about thirty miles from Tampa) without encountering on the march any of the enemy except a small party, which, after an irregular fare, dis persed, having two or three of their number killed, one of which was a chief, (Euchee Billy.) This engagement is doubtless the same as that already noticed as having occurred at Voluia on the 23d ult. in which the loss of the whites was stated three killed, and Indians five, among them Billy Hicks or Euchee Billy. General Eustis states that he has with him a large number of fa. m ish i lig horses. Information has reached Black Creek that 500 Creeks under Gen. Woodward, had passed through Tallahassee on their way to Tampa. About forty-five volunteers on the sick list, were left at Volusia. Vie must await the arrival of the Florida to furnish more definite in formation of our gallant army. The Florida, we are informed, left St. Mary's last Thursday for Picolata via Jacksonville. The Santee left Jacksonville last Wednesday, to early too bring the courier of that place. MOBILE, April II th. FROM TEXAS, The steamboat Merchant, Captain Swiller, brought us this morning from New Orleans, whence she sailed yesterday at some late and disastrous reports from Texas. Capt. Swiller informs us that he learned, just at the moment of leaving New Orleans, that a short arrival from Texas announced the defeat of the forces under Colonel Fannin—the advance of the Mexican army under Santa Ana to San Felipe, the capture of that place and the indiscriminate massacre of the inhabitants. Santa Ana was approa-king the river Brasses. Persons here, well acquainted with the position of General Hous ton, indulge a belief that these reports are incorrect. Our last ac counts, received by the Equity, at New Orleans, on Saturday, from Brazoria, stated th a t C o l one l F ann i n h a d bl own up t h e fortress o f Go nad, and m a d e goo d h i s retreat to the main ariny on the Colorado, cutting his way peeted betw een t h e two armies. through the. Mexican army, and that a battle was ex- The Equity brought up a large number of women and children: several vessels had been detained to bring up to New Orleans women and children. So far as the Mexican army had advanced, they had made an indis criminate slaughter of women and children, the orders given to the soldiery being, to spare the lives of no individuals over ten year. of age. The whole population of Texas was in the field. MOBILE, Aprill2. LATER FROM TEXAS, The intelligence brought from Texas by the De Kalb, arrived at New Orleans on Sunday last, is rather of a gloomy cast. It is only rumour, it is true, but there must be some foundation for it without any doubt. We subjoin extracts from two letters received in this city yesterday, the first by the steamboat Merchant in the morning, and the last by the mail-boat, evening, from - New Orleans. They contain all that we have found. " Dear have just received letters from --. The Mexi cans were within a few miles of San Filipe, which had.been been de serted by the Texians and burnt down. ***** ' ' ' Houston had retreated to the east of the Brazos. Fannin, it is reported had been killed and all his army—a panic prevailed throughout, and every one was moving on as fast as possible for the Sabine. No doubt Santa Ana will concentrate his forces on the Brazos, and Houston Will decoy hint into the heart of Texas. Come on at once ! NOw or never is the time: to do any thing! It is now near eleven o'clock morning. I write iu great haste." The following are extracts from the second letter : " * ' * It appears that Houston has retreated to the east side of the Brazos, and the Mexican army is advancing in two divi sions, one on the sea coast and the other in the interior, and that-one was within a few miles of San Felipe. The citizens of San Felipe had burnt down the town and were moving on towards the Sabine. It was the intention of the people of Texas to destroy all their towns, rather than let the Mexicans get possession of them. • ' • " All the country west of the Brazos, it is said, had been abandoned. Houston will not, it is thought, retire any further—but it looks gloomy, and the next accounts will be very interesting. Reinforcements were reaching Houston daily, and if the Mexicans should make much de lay, he will have a strong force, and we think drive Santa Ana back. Yours in haste. A CONVICTED MURDERER BURIED WITH MILITARY HONOURS.— That there is a growing disposition among the people of this country, to exercise a most morbid sympathy for malefactors, we have long been convicted. There is, 'in the first place, a false philanthropy abroad in the land, which professes to feel conscientious misgivings as to the propriety of " taking the life of a human being" for even the most atrocious crimes ; and, in the next place, another large por tion of our people, who, pE;rhaps, would hardly do away with the law which inflicts capital punishment, but who are ready, the moment that a murderer pays the forfeiture of his crimes, to sanctify his me mory. They would acknowledge, probably, that he was justly pun ished, but every pains is taken to convince the culprit himself, as well as others, that he had ecome " a saint in heaven," the instant that the halter had made on% rogue less on earth. The scaffold, according to these people, is the very stepping stone to glory, and a felon's ex piation of guilt upon the gallows, is a matter that is to be " improved" for the edification of those he has left behind. No matter what may have been the amount of his turpitude: no matter how heinous may have been the particular offence tior which he suffered ; he merely " fell a victim to the rigor of our laws' and the maudlin sentimen tality sure to follow guilt to its grave, has actually taken half the terrors from the consequences that fall on those who have made up their mind to commit a crime I Every villian knows that he is sure of scores of sympathizing friends, if he is destitute ; and if he can get off clear so mucrtlie'better for him. If he escapes, he makes a thrifty business of his wickedness ; if he is punished, he becomes conspicuous ; ante is, moreover, made a martyr and a saint ! His good qualitieS are recorded, and his bad ones glossed over and for gotten. The court of justice which convicts him is little less an object of horror with the philanthropists, than the hangman who fixes the rope about his neck, for a sum of money. His fate is pitied ; white, perhaps, that of the very victim of his atrocity is eared very little for. Nay, nine times in ten, that the victim becomes the theme of the vilest and most unfeeling posthumous calumny. There is no extravagance in these remarks. They are warranted by the actual history of the last twenty years. Every part ,of our country has hen disgraced by these scenes. The moral elements of our, society l*e been poisoned by the practices of a canting pretension to'sublimated philosopEy ; and there is really some danger, that ere long, crime will become' the readiest road to the good opinion, of our contem poraries. A scene of recent occurrence in Louisiana, has impresSed these considerations upon us with more freshness and more force than anything of the kind that has ever yet taken place in this country. One Washington Whitaker, Tepresented as a brawling blackleg of the worst description, was sometime since convicted in New Orleans of one of the most unprovoked and atrocious murders that has ever been perpetrated in the United States. lie was wealthy, had wealthy and influential friends, and every possible exertion was made to- rescue him from the consequences of .the deed ; but after a fair and patient trial a jury found him guilty, the court sentenced him to death ; and the governor of the state hail the firmness to resist the importunity to pardon him. The day of execution ivas fixed, and Whitaker, to shun the ignominy of the gallows, stabbed himself to death with a knife. Now comes a scene such as we hope for the honour of. the country, may never be enacted again, at least so long as we claim to be a civi lized nation: The body of the felon was taken to his mother's plan tation, the militia of the state is called out, a martial procession formed, military music is provided and the body carried to the grave with all the honours that could have been bestowed upon a general of ficer who had fallen in glorious battle. A volley was fired over the grate and a major general pronounced'a laboured eulogium upon his eha-• racter ! The court that convicted him was termed an " Inquisition," the governor abused in most unmeasured terms fur refusing to pardon the culprit, and the people of New Orleans indiscriminately stigma tized in the grossest language that calumny could muster for its pur poses. A meeting was organized on the spot in order to embody an " expression of the public opinion" and the proceedings signed by a president andsecretary, and ordered to be published. This is unquestionably the grossest violation of every thing that is decent and decorous that ever occurred in this country, and the citizens of New Orleans could not receive a more emphatic com pliment than is bestowed upon them by the abuse :of Such an assem blage as gathered around the grave of Washington Whitaker. We have received Hobart Town papers to the 26th December. That beautiful and highly-favoured country, Van Diemen's Land, is, like Ireland, blessed with an O'CONNELL in the person of J. T. Gellibrand, Esq., the bead of a political association. This worthy personage, who has undertaken the task of agitating the new set tlers in thefifilt quarter of the globe, is, we believe, a Cockney attorney, who - emigrated some years since, but whether at the state's.or his own expense we do not remember. The press of Van Diemen's Land, with one or two hOnourable exceptions, is of the most incendiary and .mendacious character. The Hobart Town Courier, speaking cf this press and the political association ; and alluding to Mr. GELLIBIIAND, says— • The march of slander goes on, as we predicted, with unwearied steps, while its attendants—disunion, distrust, and social discomfort, follow close behind. This is now the state of think in Hobart town, rapidly spreading its contagion in the other parts of. the.coloay. - -The abuse of the press is no bugbear, it is an actual demon with hydra head, that if left to itself, unchecked and unsubdued, will stalk across our land, blighting in its progress every green leaf, poisoning every happy heart, corrupting every good disposition, destroying the fruits of industry, and paralysing its energies. The labours in our supreme court, which has been occupied during the past week with an atteni p t to regulate the progress of this demon, so far from disarming, o r crippling him, seems only to have added fresh vigour to his steps. And so it will be, until the people themselves, aroused by the weekly, the daily volleys of newspaper detraction with which they are oppressed, take the remedy into their own hands, and by withholding encourage ment, by no longer nursing the dangerous viper, if they do not wholly put it down, teach it at least to change its tone, to adopt another language, and to apply the glorious engine which Providence has placed at their command, to the good and not the curse of mankind. 1 The murder of Captain SERGEANTSON, a gentleman who is spoken of in high terms, had created a very con siderable degree of excitement in the colony. On this subject we take another extract from the paper we have already quoted. The settlers of Campbell Town district, say very true. " Here it out off, by foul murder, a gentleman by birth and education—a zallan soldier of Quatre Bras and Waterloo—a magistrate of the colony—t)-e head of a family. We will show his friends at home and his widow here, the estimation in which we held him by the liberality of our re ward for the discovery of the murderers." We have not vet heard the facti that have been elicited on the inquest but we know and are authorised to state thus publicly that a sum of nearly four hundred pounds has been subscribed by the settlers in the neighbourhood which we trust, in addition to the reward held out by government will bring the perpetrators to light. Captain Sergeantson has left behind him a widow and one child, two died in India and had his life been spared a little longer, he would soon have had another to call him father. All his family are attached to the military profession. His father was the late Major Sergoantson. His uncle Major Yarborgh, a gentleman of large property and a Ifa chelor, is the distinguished patron of the turf at York and Doncaster. Had Captain Serjeantson lived, he would, it is supposed have suc ceeded to a considerable portion of the estates of his uncle, whose favourite he was. His brother, the Rev: Robert Sorgeantson, is vicar Of Snaith, in Yorkshire, and his mother died lately at llanrith, in that county, of which Captain Sergeantson was a native, and it was to settle some family affairs of importance that he was going home in the Westmoreland from Launceston. He had fixed to bring Mrs. Ser geantson and child over to Anstey Barton on Thursday last, the first day of the inquest. Mr. Anstey was one of his most intimate friends, and is appointed an executor of his will. The ministerial journals, after maintaining a strict and suspicious silence for nearly a fortnight, have at length been instructed to whitewash Lord MELBOURNE. They deny that he has resigned ! They whisper something about a certain intrigue being comprproiSed; th.it his lordship is fast recovering from a severe attack of gout, and that, whatever differences might have existed in the cabinet, the utmost harmony now prevails; and, conse quently, it is only a " tory lie" to say that Lord MEL BOURNE has resigned. This is a very poor quibble. We deny th a t any tory ever asserted that Lord MELBOURNE bad resigned. Who ever heard of a Whig resigning office so l ung as h e could retain it by hook, crook, effrontery, or impudence? If the noble lord has committed any act which renders his absence from t h e H ouse o f Peers or th e presence of his Sovereign unavoidable and imperative, "resignation" is not the proper term to apply to such an act of neces sity. We do not say that Lord MELBOURNE has com mitted any such offence. , Whatever t ru th t h ere may be in the rumours of the day, we have n o r i g h t to assume that the premier is o u t of office because a certain magis trate is not in a higher and more lucrative situation. There may be. many reasons why his lordship should ne ver again meet his colleagues in an official capacity. He has not been on good terms with them for some consider able time. He has refused to be a party to that collisioh between the two houses which is resolved upon, and which that shuffling old dunce, Lord LANSDOWNE, inti mated on i plonday last. He has called the member for all Ireland a " goblin damned"—words that will stick, and which draw a portrait too true to be forgotten or for given. DANIEL, we have no doubt, has placed his mark of the death's head and cross-bones against the name of Lord MELBOURNE, and he (DANIEL) we strongly suspect, is the apple of discord in the cabinet. The pledges made to the beggar cannot be redeemed. Lord JOHN RUSSELL is paralysed, Lord DUNCANNON is stupified, and afraid. to face those to whom he is bound, while Lord MELBOURNE resolutely declines lending himself to the conspiracy, which has for its object an open rupture with the peers, and a desperate plunge, cost what it may, into a reyolu tionn'iy struggle for ascendency, the annihilation of the upper house being the only mode by which the supremacy of the cumtnonS can, be secured. This, at least, is our view of the subject, and we have seldom mistaken the signs of the times or the movements of parties. The majority in the cabinet having resolved to do "justice to Ireland," that is, to carry into effect all the schemes of the demagogue; 'and all the selfish ma chinations of the priests—to rob the church—to propagate infidelity in the national schools—to give the filthy priests the benefit of the convent system as it prevails in Spain and Canada—to extirpate protestantism in Ireland, and make that ill-fated island one immense lazaretto of monks,' friats, nuns, hedge priests, and religious swindlers of every description, with all the jugglery and imposition of holy water, lime pits for murdered infants, skull-caps of penance, lies and miracles equally holy and disgusting, toe nail's being an object of reverence, and the Gott of HEAVEN reduced to a wafer, and in that shape eaten—the majority of . the cabinet, we say, being in favour of this most filthy fraud,. it is necessary that Lord MELBOURNE, who has some pretensions to the manners and character of a gentleman, should no longer be at the head of a liberal administration. • That Lord JOHN RUSSELL aspires to his place we have • no doubt whatever. That the Norton affair is of whig contrivance, and that it was first published by them, we never had any doubt at all. It is just that sort of intrigue in which the shallow and shabby mind of Lord JOHN luxuriates. It is bad, if true; it is malice, of pure whig odour, if false. But, true or false, we believe that its ex posure came from the whip', and that it was circulated in coder to drive Lord MELBOURNE from his position. Will he retire, badgered as he is on the one side by the . . friends of the " goblin damned," and pressed on the other by those-Who have concocted the li:te draina in private life fur the purpose of making the premier the object of: obloquy, and execration ? We use the word retire in a' very delicate sense. When alnanis.kicked down stairs he can hardly be said to have •retired from the drawing room. Lord MRLI3t)URNE, being, a whig, is not a retiring man; but, being outvoted, he is adismissed member of the cabinet. P A s to the delicate part of the charge we have no wish , ! to dwell upon it, but it is now so notorious that silence I would be. affectation. The ministerial journals do not' deny the criminality ; they' only assert that the guilty party has not resigned office, and they have the indecency to state that a compromise has taken place. - What a compromise on the part of an injured husband, and he ' the brother of a peer . ..of England ! It isimpossible. All the money in the world would not purchase the si lence of so infamobs a compromise. If it could, the hus band would be a thousand times more degraded than the weak woman who bartered his fame and honour at the shrine-of passion and, pelf. The noble house of Grandy. cannot suffer their shield of arms to be barred in this, disgraceful manner. They must compel Mr. NORTON, if the story be true, to seek fair redress an open court of justice; and, if the story be false, they must force hint to vindicate the now suspected purity of his wife. There have been cases where the softer sex have been the se ducers; but rarely has this happened where the gentle-. man has been of mature age and the lady of more unripe years. Lord MELBotiaNE had power and patronage at. command. The other party, though handsome and well' born, was not Anent. The meaner temptation was con- . sequently stronger in, the poorest, and, apart from the - morality of the question, blue stocking ladies are not of the firmest virtue. It is not merely the offence that mands public censure and public exposure in the person of Lord MELBOURNE, but it is because the noble lord is• prime minister of England, having immense patronage at his disposal, the King's signet in his hand, and the. King's honour in his keeping, that the affair assumes a more serious foil') and culls for a more solemn reproba tinn But after all the private affairs of Lord MELBOURNE: have little to do with the present question. That he will never again appear as a minister in the House of Lords, we fully believe, but that the ministry, lame though it be,. , contemplates an angry collision with the upper house on behalf of the Irish mendicant and the Irish municipal. bill, is too transparent to be misunderstood. - Lord LANS DOWNE is forwarding the amended, bill through the lords expressly for the purpose. The commons are to be roused to a rupture with the lords be the consequences what they may, the end of which must be a dissolution of parliament. The King has no other choice. If the lords are insulted by such persons as WAKLEY, EWART, DUN COMBI4 BUCKINGHAM, ROEBUCK, and THE TAIL, the King will be compelled to appeal to his people. That the peo ple of England will gratefully and joyously respond to the wishes of their sovereign is indisputable. That the people of Scotland and Ireland- will do the same, is per haps problematical ; but this we are confident of, namely, let the appeal be made to-morrow, and a very different set of representatives will be sent to parliament.
