PAPAL AGGRESSION LIVERPOOL PROTESTANT 'DEFENCE COMMITTEE. THE EXECUTIVE COMMITTEE met TO-DAY, and the following Petition was adopted To the Honottrable the Commons of the , United Kingdom of Great Britain and Ireland, in Parliftment assembled, the Petition of the Undersigned, Clergy, Gentry, Bankers, Mer chants, and Inhabitants of _Liverpool, _ _ _ 44 Hurbinty'SnownTn,—that, in the judgment of your Peti tioners, the measure proposed by Her Majesty's Government, in the matter of the Papal Hierarchy; is wholly inadequate to meet' the necessities of the case. "`Your Petitioners are deeply impressed with the difficulty of legislating-effectually in this matter. They are fully aware of, and vet" , oordial'y participate in, the repugnance entertained by Englishmen to any interference-Vith the sacred rights of constience. But they recognise in , the Roman Cat • system suclrnmixture of what claims to be conscie • us in things spiritual, with what is really despotic in t gs temporal, that they tremble, lest forbearance towards one may prove such encouragement to the other, as will • entually become fatal to that very liberty which it is desig to maintain. Petitioners feel that -question now to be decided, is - ,whether the repugnance o nghshmen to restrictive legis lation shall be to a certain lentomrcome, in order to provide for the safety of the Stat or whether that safety shall be com promised and even angered'by the excess of that repug nance. _ _ . --- ‘ 7 ll this dilemn4 your Petitioners implore your Honourable House to remember that self-preservation is the living instinct of every living thing, and therefore to enact such a law as will , tiffectnally prohibit not only all territorial titles, but also all Synodical Meetings of Ronarsh Bishops in the United Kingdom ; as will make it a punishable 9:offence to attempt, directly or in, directly, to apply the Romish Canon Law to the government, of any of Her Majesty's subjects; as will suppress all confra ternities and Monastic Institutions in the United Kingdom •; as will, bona fide, carry into effect the provisions of the &nand :pation Bill of 1829 against Jesuits ; and as will put an end to all pecuniary support of Romanism by the State. `• Your Petitioners respectfully submit that these steps may be taken by the Legislature without any intolerant interference with the safe liberty of the subject. " And your Petitioners will ever pray. &c." The Gentlemen of the General COmniittee are called upon to Assist in procuring as manrSignatures as possible, arid without delay. _ The Petition lies for Signature at the Exchange, Lyceum, , and Athenaeum Newsrooms ; :and also at the Standard, Mail, and Courier Offices; Mr. Groom's, Lord-street; Mr. Jos.

ARRIVAL OF THE ARCTIC By the United States Mail steam-ship Arctic, Captain Luce, we have received advices from New York to the sth instant. She brought £25,000 specie, and 15 passengers. She encountered rather severe weather on the passage, and has therefore made an excellent run. The Canada arrived at' Halifax on the 3rd instant, in - sixteen days from Liverpool. No rarticular movement had taken place in congress, and tie news generally by this arrival is unimportant. Letters from Washington state that no essential modifi cation of the tariff is likely to take place this session. Congress is now almost inundated with applications 'for new lines of steam-ships. Proposals for the establish ment cf eight new lines have already been presented, namely, one from San Francisco to Canton via the Sand wich Islands; lines from Philadelphia to Liverpool, Rio de Janeiro and to Antwerp; one from Norfolk to 'Gibral tar ; oaefrom Baltimore and Norfolk to the African coast, one from Nem'Orleans to Vera Cruz, touching at the mouthof the Coatzacualco ; and, finally, one fromTehu antepec to San Francisco. Theanxiety about the Atlantic steam-ship is, of course, greater than ever, and the general alarm was almost vieldirg to despondency. Her safety was, however, strongy asserted by most, on account of her admirable seagoiag qualities. Caplain Bernsee, of the barque Frances Watts, reports baying seen a sea-serpent within forty yards of his vessel, and about sixty feet out of the water. In colour it was apparently " very green." Nicaragua accounts to the 31st of December report that the pert of San Juan had been made free to all nations. The ciEal operators were rapidly progressing, the steamer directcrs having succeeded in getting on the lake. Thefrigate St. Lawrence, with articles for the Exhibi tion, vas nearly ready for sea, having taken on board nearlyall the contributions, numbering about 500. Accounts from Canada report that Lord Elgin had stated in a reply to an address from the Grand Jury, that the seat of Government will, undoubtedly, be removed to Quebec after the completion of its two years in Toronto. The noble lord had received a dispatch from the Colonial Secrztary, authorizing the admission of American reprints of Eqglish copyright works at twenty per cent. duty. This is merely a provisional arrangement, but will be madepermanent hereafter. The duties collected by the Canalian Custom-houses are to be paid over to the pro prietors of the copyrights of the American reprints; who are rquired to furnish the revenue officers with a list of theirworks. Unless this condition is complied with, the dutywill, in no instance, be enforced. Inspector Gine ral Hooks had returned from his mission in Washington on tie subject of Canadian reciprocity. The new corn monschool law, providing for the establishment of sepa rate schools for Roman Catholics, bad created some dis turbance in Upper Canada. In Toronto, Bishop Char 'bonrel had had recourse to legal measures to enforce the applbation of the law. The excitement had been so great in certain quarters as to lead to acts of violence. In one distinct a school-house had been burned. COMMERCIAL INTELLIGENCE. NEW YORK, FEB. 5. Tit exchange market is heavy and the supply fair. Sterling i s Sato 10 for first-class bills; France, 5 12*.

Subsequent to the departure of the Asia, on Vednesday last, prices receded *c., and remained steady till Monday last, at this reduction, pending late advices from abroad, but when these came to hand yesterday, they com pletely unsettled the market, the decline in Liverpool being unexpected ; sales of some hundred bales were made at unelen prices, averaging about half a cent lower. Our quota tion, though reduced, must be co nsioered as entirely nominal Imam claiming a still further reduction. The receipts at all the shipping (ports are 1,254,384 bales, against 1,217,731. to gam date last year—an increase this season of 6,653 bales.

ROBERTS' NEW HAIR-CUTTING ROOMS, CASTLE STEEET.—The hair-cutting establishment recently fitted up by Mr. Roberts, in Castle-scree , is one in every way wcrthv of a visit, as shewiug how far taste and a liberal expenditure can go to reconcile us to what is certainly anything but a pleasant operation, as performed by ordi nary operators and in ordinary localities. The room down stairs devoted to gentlemen is one of the handsomest in the kingdom. The walls, which are divided into compart ments, by rich scroll work and carving, are partially covered with twelve magnificent mirrors, reaching from the flooring to the ceiling. The room is well ventilated, a proper temperature being kept, and well lighted ; and the furniture is rich and most comfortable. Behind this room Mr. Roberts has provided marble washbasins and other conveniences, for the use of his customers at all hours of the day. A commodious ladies' room is pro vided up stairs. _ _ _ LAST WEEK BUT ONE OF MR. COLLES'S VISIT TO LIVERPOOL.—Our readers will perceive, by Mr. Collea's advertisement in another column, that next week will be the last of his remaining in this town ; no time, there fore, should be lost by those who have a desire to procure some of his ingenious and highly-amusing novelties. Mr. R. has recently introduced a new deception, the " cone - trick," which is, in our opinion, quite equal to the dis solving ball. A solid block of wood is placed on a small table, at which we are allowed to sit and place our hands on it, so that we see plainly them is no trap, or anything of the kind, and yet, on being covered over with a thin paper by Mr. Cones, it absolutely vanishes, and a ball or die has taken its place ; the ball is then covered, and in an instant the ball passes through= the table, and the block of wood is in its own place again. This Mr. C. has no hesitation in performing over and over again, if required. It is a most startling deception ; and we almost feel inclined to doubt our own eyes. THE GREAT EXHIBITIObT.—A prize of 100 guineas has 'been offered by the Rev. Dr. Emerton, of Magdalen Hall College, Oxford, and of Hanwell College, Middlesex, for the best essay on the following subiect :—". In what re. speet is the union of all nations at the Great Exhibition calculated to further the moral and religious welfare of mankif.d, and thus conduce to the glory of God ? and in what respect may we, as a nation and as individuals, most effectually promote this object ?" The following gentle. men have been appointed adjudicators :—The Rev. R. Mitchell, 13. D. Vice-Principal of Magdalen and Public Orator Of the University of Oxford. The Rev. Robert Walker, M.A., F.R.S., Reader in Experimental Philosophy in the University of Oxford. The composi tions are to be sent, psstage free, to the Umpire, the Rev. Dr. Emerton, Hanweil College, Middlesex, on or before the 31st of March, and none cm be reeejFed after , the pt of May. LATEST INTELLIGENT E BY ELECTRIC TELEGRAPH. THE BUDGET. HOUSt OP LORDS-YESTERDAY. Their Lordships resumed their seats at 5 o'clock. A large number of petitions were presented, chiefly in op position to the Papal Aggression; but no other business of public importance was transacted, and the House ad journed at 20 minutes to 6. HOUSE OF COMMONS.-YESTERDAY The Speaker took the Chair at 5 o'clock, and soon after the House went into Committee of Ways and Means, Mr. Bernal in the chair. The CHANCELLOR of the for the year ending January last, was £52,810, 000 . The U L ER H t e h e s n ai d proceeded al t a o m ount make his of t h e Financial a s E t c :a t u c e a H m l E e e t x n fu ture produce of the taxes for the year ending April , penditure had been £50,134,800. As to the 1852, he estimated them at £52,140,0( 0. He then went over, in great detail, the several items of the expenditure, and estimated the surplus, at the end of the year, at £1,890,000. (Hear.) This reduction, he said, would have reference to the Income Tax and tamp Duties; he did not consider it expedient to go into the details of the Income Tax on the present occasion, particularly as that subject would come under a separate discussion hereafter. He had, he would only say, received various communica tions finding fault with the different Schedules under which the tax was collected. In the justice of most of those representations he agreed ; indeed, in his own opinion, the only parties not aggrieved by the tax were those under Schedule A. Still, the only practical plan, under existing circumstances, was to continue the Income Tax in its present shape. He thought at the same time it would be most impolitic, even cruel, to extend the burden to Ireland, and he therefore proposed to exempt that country from its operation ; but he would propose to continue the Irish Stamp Duties, in the first in stance as a sort of equivalent for the exemption. The aggregate taxation ofthe country defrayed by consumers, amounted to £42,000,000, whilst that on property was only £12,451,000, inclusive of local taxation. On such grounds he contended that it was most expedient to lighten burdens on consumption, and continue in the same course of policy. The probable surplus at the end of next year would be about £1,890,000. He would then explain whit he proposed to do in the event of the In come Tax being renewed. The first claim on the house was some reduction of the debt. (Hear, hear.) The debt had been increased by £27,000,000 during twenty-seven years of peace; and though he did not think it expedient to make a great and sudden effort to pay off large portions of it, it was their duty to make provision for its reduction. To this end it was essential to maintain a certain surplus of income over the expenditure, never less than one million, or about one-fiftieth part of our expenditure. He proposed, therefore, to retain a surplus somewhere about one miPion. Which of all the various descriptions of taxes was it most expedient for the interest of the country to repeal or modify ? Of all the claims that had been laid before him he considered the window tax to demand the first attention. The total amount of window duty was £1,856,000—a sum which it was obvious would absorb the whole surplus if the amount were taken away altogether. In repealing the window duty, he meant to in troduce a tax upon a house in proportion to its value, which he considered the best principle to adopt with respect to all new houses, but the rule must be subjected to modifications with respect to existing dwellings. All new houses of the annual value of £2O and upwards, he proposed should pay a tax calculated according 'to their rental ; that houses under £2O a-year should be exempted altogether, but ex iiting- houses over£2oa-year should pay a house tax to the amount they now pay for window duties. The result of the proposal would be to exempt from taxation 120,000 houses now paying it, to bring 30,000 houses under tax ation, and to exempt the greet majority of farm-houses. The proceeds he calculated of the new house tax would be £1,157,000, leaving a loss to the revenue of £700,000 a year from the above adoption in place of the window duties. The next proposal he should make had reference to the duties on coffee. He should attempt to reduce the evil of adulterating that article with chicory, and to cor rect the decreased import by reducing the duty (hear), both on foreign and colonial coffee, so as to leave an equal duty on all coffee of 3d. per lb. (hear, hear); and, also, to impose the same amount of duty on chicory. (Hear, hear.) The reduction of duty on this article would, he estimated, amount to £176,000. (Hear, hear.) The next article he proposed to deal with was foreign timber. He proposed to reduce the duty on all foreign timber to half its present amount, from which the revenue would suffer to the extent of £286,000. He also proposed to reduce the duties on agricultural seeds, which he considered as raw materials, which amounted in the whole to £35,000, to an uniform rate of ls. per cwt. upon seeds of all descriptions. The loss to the revenue from this reduction would be £30,000. Ho proposed a por tion of local charges for the maintenance of pauper lunatics from the Consolidated Fund to the ex tent of £150,000 a year for the United Kingdom. In July next there would be a reduction of duty on sugar of £300,000. All these reductions would show a gain to the public of £1,525,000, but the loss to the revenue would be only £1,280,000; deducting this from the surplus of the future year, there would be left a surplus of £612,000; but as half the existing duties would be received for the current year ending April, there would, in fact, be a surplus of £962,000. After some further observations he concluded by moving a resolution affirming the expe diency of renewing the income tax and the stamp duties for Ireland for a limited period, and mentioned that the period would be for three years as heretofore. The chan cellor resumed his seat at 20 minutes to eight, after speak ing two hours and forty minutes. The resolution having been received, Mr. HERRIES addressed the house and begged to ask for ample time before deter mining whether the income tax should be continued for three years longer. (Hear, hear.) In reply to Mr. Herries, Lord JOHN RUSSELL intimated that the estimates would be brought under the considera tion of the house on Friday next.—Mr. HUME confessed his disappointment that a large reduction had not been made in the army, navy, and ordnance estimates, and in the colonial, civil, and military establishments. He en tirely disagreed with a proposalloe applying any portion of the surplus to the reduction of the National Debt: He thought it would be much preferable to apply it to the repeal of the duties on paper, soap, and other useful and necessary articles. PARIS, SUNDAY.—The report of the Austrian aggression on Switzerland and Italy excited uneasiness. A strong French protest is spoken of. The president's firm determination to done to -day at 96 GERMANY.—The Cologne Gazette reports that Prussia and Austria entertain the idea of commencing hostilities against Switzerland and Piedmont, and that these combined powe rs • ~. .. proposed sending 100.000 men into the field. Fears that the rumour might proved true bad caused a great stagnation in trade and commerce LATEST BETTING. TATTERSALL'S MONDAY LIVERPOOL SPRING CUP : Doubt, 6 to I.

CARDWELL AND MESSRS. LITTLEDALE'S CI RCULAR. We observe that, in the debate on Mr. Disraeli's motion, on Thursday night, Mr. Cardwell, in the course of a prosperity speech, produced. as one of his most portant pieces of evidence, a passage from the annual circular of Messrs. T. and H. Littledale, the substance of which was, that they had experienced a more than usually good year, and that the profits of 1849 and 1850 would make up for the losses of 1847 and 1848. We should not have noticed the ingenious pleading of our honourable member ; but the eminent standing of the house in every part of the commercial world, whose circular he quotes, requires that such quotation should be explained. Messrs. Littledale obviously speak—to their own private friends and connexions, be it remembered—of the profitable nature of their own dealings, and, probably, of a few other houses of great capital and resources. And under what circumstances did this profitable business arise ? These are, we believe, pretty near the facts. We commenced the past and preceding years with very buoyant expecta tions of a revival in trade generally. Money was abundant, and consumption was increasing. At an early period of the year, however, a check came, and prices fell both in this country and in foreign markets. Thus capitalists, such as the firm in question, were enabled to buy low ; and the consumption realizing the original expectations, they have naturally profited largely. We deny most em phatically that such a fact argues anything for the increased prosperity of the public generally ; and we do not believe that Messrs. Littledale ever intended that it should be sa understood. CLIPPER SHIP -THE UNDERWRITER The first portion of the to illustrate the national cultivation of commercial it coming half, every fla sin century has done much )rtance of our strenuous ;ourcourse ; but in the being fre ,e to ou ports, we are entering into a contest, whether t otherwise to the inN country, that is ahead) shipbuilding ; and whether canvas, the screw, or the paddle, be made available for propalsion, it is pretty evident that the weight-carrying properties of the " good. old models" are being superseded by what will be under stood as " clipper measurements." We are not aware that America has as yet sent to England any official challenge to test the comparative sailing qualities of their vessels with our own, though such a statement has been extensively circulated ; but we are perfectly satisfied, from daily evidences, that our half-brother Jonathan is a little anxious to get the start in building clipper craft. The " liners" trading hence to the northern ports are being succeeded, from time to time, by vessels that not only excel their predecessors in all the properties for rapid sailing, but exceed them in equipment, by adopting all that past experience dictates. As an example, we may mention The Underwriter, a new and splendid snip that has just been completed for Messrs. Kermot and Carrow's line of New York liners. The Underwriter is about 1,400 tons register, (car penter's measurement), and her proport ions areso symme trical that it is unnecessary to enter into the minutiae of measurement. With great space on each deck she is more than fine; at the draught line she is sharp as a wedge forward, with a keel clean as the uncaught sea ser serpent, while her rotundity of side shows she has not a straight foot of planking ; in equipment for her trade, the transit-passages, and general freight, she equals anything afloat. A fact that would be expected when we state that she is commanded by Captain Skiddy, under whose personal superintendence she has been built; and whose ability we doubt not has already gained a standing that will place the ship as " a favourite A 1." The con signees of the Underwriter are Messrs. A. Taylor and Co. As the latest specimen of American naval architecture, she is admittedly one of the finest. In the river, she was a complete picture. She sat lightly and gracefully on the water ; her great height was diminished by her length ; while her masts, extending to skysail-poles, raking hand somely, her yards and other minor spars equally slender in appearance, with every particle of standing and running rigging taught as a fiddle-band, produced a most fairy like effect, and gave her the appearance of anything but a ship of so large a tonnage. She seems built but to be admired. ,ritime interests of our ution in POLYTECHNIC SOCIETY.—The usual monthly meeting of the members of the Polytechnic Society was held last evening, in the theatre of the Royal Institution. The feature of the evening was the exposition, by Mr. Grantham and Mr. Milner, of a plan for storing gun powder so as to obviate the danger at present existing from. our contiguity to the magazines at Liscard. The meeting was consequently a full one. Among the gentle men present were W. ltathhone, Esq., Mr. Alderman Bennett, Mr. Pitcher, Mr. N. Rayner, Mr. J. Jeffery, &c., &c. Mr. Salt, the secretary of the association, read a letter from Mr. Jasper W. Rogers, regretting his in ability to attend the meeting, but expressing a hope shortly to have that pleasure. Mr. Bennett said the letter removed all unfavourable impressions that might have been formed on a late occasion relative to the absence of Mr. Rogers. W. Milner, Esq., the president, rose to address the meeting. He said he had had the pleasure of laying before the Town Council, in October last, a plan for submerging the whole of the powder at present stored in the magazines, in air and water-tight tanks. A letter had been received from Stafford, suggesting precisely the same plan : the identity of the two plans was so close that he was at a loss to account for it: he did not know how it had happened. Mr. Milner went on to explain that the fire-resisting principle on which his safes were constructed had in some measure assisted him in the development of the plan referred to. The prin ciple was that of isolation, by which, if explosion took place, the effects would be confined to small portions of gunpowder. The experiments he had made with this object had been witnessed by Mr. Pilcher and Mr. Salt. The flames were limited to circles of insignificant dia meter. He left the details of the project to be explained by Mr. Grantham. Mr. G ran th am , on r i s i ng to address the meeting, complimented M r . Mil ner on his paper, which,. he said, h a d l e f t hi m very little to do. In coupling Ins name with his own, the president had given him more credit than was his due, as he had, in fact, had very little to do in carrying out the design. But he thought some apology was due to the meeting on the present occasion. Both the president and he were practical men, and, as such; it might be expected that they were prepared to furnish some details as to expense in reference to the project. Hitherto that had been his (Mr. G's) course but on the present occ would be gone into ; they had nothir y no suc , g to b fore the society but the crude notion whil would have to be worked out. Mr Grantham then went on to illustrate the plan by means of drawings, one of these represented a ground plan for the reception of tanks ; its dimensions would be 150 feet in length by 50 feet wide ; a landing pier would be separated from this reservoir by a small canal. The powder would be enclosed within a number of cylinders, six feet in diameter, which would be kept in positions of six feet asunder ; in this way the reservoir • might be expected to contain one hundred tons of gun powder. It had been once thought that a crane should be used to raise these tanks from their bed, but that would involve machinery of iron, which was objectionable, and a boat was substituted, by means of wh!ch the cylin ders would be floated to the pier, where. by means of a hole in the boat, each one could bedrawn through the 1 , - Mr. . N. Atlyner observed that the 0.._. storing the gunpowd er b u t i n remo ving Grantham said that that was a consideratii ger %vas not in - Mr. on for them ;er could be to entertain ; and expl apprehended of explosion, beyond that of the compara tively small quantity removed at the time. He also showed that in case of explosion in the water, the effect would be to repel rather than attract the cylinders round the exploded one. Another plan was, by means of a float ing magazine—something of the same principle as the old floating bath. This was suggested, be'cause, if a ground site could not be obtained the river might be turned to account.—Mr. Alderman Bennet said that, knowing the practical talents of the originators of the plan, he ex pected to hear something excellent in the principle ; but he confessed what he had heard far surpassed his most sanguine expectation. Other gentlemen took part in the discussion, but our space precludes a more extended notice SOUTH NOTTS ELECTION.—On Saturday Mr. Barrow was returned representative for South Nottinghamshire by a• majority of fifteen,—the numbers being for Mr. Barrow 1495, and for Lord Newark 1480. During the second day's polling only 151 votes Tv- "ded for M- Barrowin all the districts, and to thoroughly was the ere rec t 155 for Lord Newark, traordinary exertions made during the first day. The gross number polled is 2,975, and it is said that not more than 3,000 electors could by any possibility be found— only 25 more than actually recorded. No less than 192 votes have now been recorded mote than polled in the memorable contest between Lord Lincoln and Mr. Hild yard, although the constituency remains much the same. The most wonderful exertions were made on both sides, night and day, for two months past, the candidates them selves working quite as hard as the most zealous of their supporters. Electors were brought to vote from all parts of the three kingdoms, including Glasgow, Dum fries, Hull, York, London, Birmingham, Manchester, and several from the Continent. Finair. the first day's poll, that every voter tl. obtained would be required, one of Mr. took a special engine to London, and rk electors in time to record their votes in dinerent districts This is only the second contest remembered by " the oldest inhabitant" in South Notts; but the severity of this last led to questionable means being used in some cases, and each party charges the other' with bribery, whether truly or not can scarely be ascertained—at least A. 11, , on the eveni 13arrov Tethers ith four supporters being said to hay a single vote !
