ANOTHER FEMALE SAILOR.—A considerable degree of excitement was caused last week in the town of Brixham by the discovery of a female sailor on board one of the trawl boats, in which capacity she had been employed for some time with much credit, and in which she would have con tinued but for the expose which discovered her sex. It ap pears she was left an orphan, and was bound apprentice to a farmer, whom she served as an out-door male servant; before her time expired she determined to leave the plough for to plough in the deep, and having dressed herself in a deceased brother's clothes, who had been unfortunately drowned, she entered on board of a trawling sloop, as an apprentice, to serve three years ; she performed her duty manfully, endur ing all the privations of such a precarious calling, with a degree of hardihood and recklessness necessary to such a life, and her exertions were such as to cause a degree of envy in the other lads. On Sunday last she accompanied two lasses to a fruit garden in the neighbourhood where she treated them, behaving with all the gallantry imaginable; while there, a tailor, who was enjoying his alium, attempted to interfere with our hero's girls ; the sailor hoy resented it ; high words ensued, and blows followed ; Snip showed fight like a man, while the pretended sailor was no less active, but alas ! fortune does not always favour the brave ; the tailoras was too m uc h f or hi s o p ponen t. an d th e sa ilor l a s se y w s coming persons beaten th at she was o b l i ged to g i ve i n, an d on severa l round her to offer her assistance, her sex was discovered, to the grea t surpr i se o f every one , th e t a il or not excepted.

UNITED STATES The American packet Oneida, Captain Funck, arrived at Havre on Friday from New York, bringing dates to the 3d instant, three days later than those of the previous arrival, during which period nothing of importance, political or social, .had taken place. The weather in the United States seems to be the very reverse of what this season affords in France, the extreme heat being a general topic of remark in the journals. The thermometer at Boston stood at 97;} in the shade. The crops are stated to be in a highly promising condition. The papers contain the debates in Congress to the 30th ult. inclusive, thus exhibiting the progress of the " Fiscal Bank " bill through the senate for one day later than it was previously known. A moss interesting clause was discussed, referring to the admission of foreigners to become sharehold ers in the proposed bank. The subject was brought forward by Mr. Henderson, of Mississippi, in the shape of an amend ment to the bill, by which he proposed to exclude foreigners altogether; and this amendment naturally gate rise to a lengthened debate, in which the effects of allowing foreign influence were considered, and much jealousy exhibited lest En gland should acquire undue power. The prohibition against votes by foreigners was brought forward by those who fa voured the admission, as if it afforded a sufficient check, but did not prevail, as it was replied that capital alone would give an influence that should not be tolerated, and the clause of the constitution (Art. 1, sec. ix, § 8) was quoted, by which it was declared, that no person holding an office of profit or trust under the United States shall accept of any present or emolument from any foreign state. The force of this cita tion is not apparent at first sight, but the intent of the senator who used it (Mr. Woodbury, the ex-secretary of the treasury) was to show the tenacity with which the framers of the con stitution resisted every attempt at foreign encroachment. Mr. Clay, who has distinguished himself as an enemy to all restrictions on the bank during the whole progress of the de bate, was naturally in favour of foreigners on this occasion, that is, if the admission to such a doubtful speculation can be viewed as a favour at all; but as he perceived the majority going the other way, he agreed to the exclusion, and voted with the " nays" on a motion for permitting foreigners to hold stock. The exclusion was voted by a majority of 25 to 23 ; and was afterwards made more stringent at the sugges tion of Col. Benton, who observed that several of the insti tutions of the United States were controlled by foreigners, and that while these were permitted to purchase stock, fo reigners conld . not be effectually excluded. Thus, by the vote of the senate, the purchase is limited to citizens or com panies of the United States. . . _ The stock-market at New York was declining, in conse quence of the distrust felt among the brokers. A wholesome rule has been adopted, which, though it might prove awkward at first, was likely to be of essential benefit to all who practice it ; it was, that payment should not be made for stock till it was known that they were actually trans ferred. United States Bank shares had fallen I per cent. ; Delaware and Hudson, per cent. : North American Trust, per cent. ; and Haarlem, 4- per cent. The State of Indiana had failed to meet her interest, with the exception of that due ou the bonds issued to the Bank as capital, which had been paid by the Bank with the view to maintain its cha- WEST INDIES Her Majesty's packet Sheldrake, bringing the West India mail, furnishes papers to the following dates :—Demerara, the 9th of June ; Jamaica, the 19th of J une; Barbadoes, the 9th of June ; and Trinidad, the Bth of June. The most important of the contents of the West India papers are those from Demerara, which are, however, of a gloomy character, commercial distress having strongly exhibited itself there since the last arrival. It was partly attributed to the depressed state of trade in imports, and partly to the severe losses which had been sustained by many of the colonists, in purchasing shipments of sugar, at a higher rate than those subsequently obtained in the home market. The news of the " bubble budget" had created great consternation, and at the latest date the result was not known. So prostrate was speculation, agricultural and commercial, that it is remarked that •` if any capitalist were hardy enough to purchase real property either in town or in country, there is little doubt of his being able to do so almost upon his own terms." There was a proposal on foot to case the money market in two ways—either by investing in the banks the large amount of unexpended " public notes," or by investing in the banks or elsewhere the unappropriated sums in the custody of the courts of justice awaiting adjudication. The Chairman of the Ways and Means Committee brought up the budget for 1841 on the 7.th of June, which proposed, among other things, an import duty on British goods of 24 per cent., and on foreign not enumerated 74, and enumerated 24 ; the produce and income tax was proposed to be 3 per cent. In Jamaica the state of trade was still bad, but the banks did not evince any desire to come forward and assist with accommodation, and the continuance of the distress of the commercial community was said to be in a great measure caused by this conduct. There had been seasonable rains both at Jamaica and Barbadoes. It is worthy of observation that all the files of West India papers are filled with articles condemnatory of the late Mi nisterial project for lowering the protection on sugar. They all looked upon the measure as fatal to the interests of the colonies, and their only consolation was their firm hope that it would be defeated, as it has been since the date of these papers. A correspondent refers thus to the chancellor of the exche quer's financial scheme :—" The palpable injustice of such measures as Mr. Baring proposed in his budget of April 30, we fervently trust, will of itself prevent the possibility of their passing; we rather suspect the chancellor's brain is turned, for in no other way can we account for the equally futile and destructive measures which he now proposes." It is in contemplation to establish a collegiate institution in Jamaica. Of the weather 'the Royal Gazette states, " The May seasons,' which we have hitherto so long and so anxiously been looking for, have at last made their appearance in real earnest, with the trifling difference of being this year rather later than usual in their visitation. Indeed with the excep tion of one solitary shower a few weeks ago, and another during the month of October last, this city hnd the neigh bourhood have scarcely had the dust laid upon the roads for for the last two or three years. We need scarcely describe, therefore, Cie heartfelt thAnks which must be felt in every considerate' mind for the inestimable boon which has latterly been vouchsafed to us, not only for all agricultural purposes but for the equally important end of cleansing our streets and lanes, and otherwise purifying:the atmosphere, which in a city like Kingston—extent, temperature, and general habit considered—is but too apt to become tainted, and thus en gender disease of the most virulent and fatal nature." DREADFUL CALAMITY OFF DOVER-EIGHT LIVES LOST. DOVER, SUNDAY AFTERNOON•—A considerable degree of painful excitement was created here yesterday by a report that no less than 30 persons had perished by a fearful colli sion between two vessels off Southsand-head. There was so much discrepancy in relation to the melancholy occurrence, that I determined on going off in a galley to satisfy myself if such a calamitous event had taken place. Upon getting into the bay, I perceived, by means of a telescope, a remark ably fine bark with foreign colours, in a very damaged state, and, upon pursuing my inquiries, I ascertained that it was the Russian bark John of Riga, laden with timber and long spars for the use of the Spanish navy. She was bound for Bilboa, and was about four miles off Southsand-head about one o'clock yesterday morning, when she ran foul of the Prussian bark Prosperator, Captain D. W. Albretch, bound to Stettin, from Newport, with a cargo of iron rails, carried away her bow, and caused her to go down in about 30 fathoms of water, with eight souls on board, all of whom perished. The mate of the Prosperator, the boatswain, M. Hehendorff, and Euzan, a seaman, saved themselves by jumping on board the Russian vessel. The latter, however, sustained a severe injury on the knee, by being struck by the mainyard, and he now lies in the almshouses in Last-lane, Dover. The John has had four or five of her stanchions on her larboard side carried away, besides her jibboom, fore top-masts, and yards. A fishing smack belonging to a shipwright named Johnson, of Dover, brought the John into the bay, and in the course of the afternoon she was towed into the wet dock alongside the harbour, where she will remain to undergo repairs. The fatal occurrence appears to have originated from the fluke of the John's anchor coming athwart the bow of the Prosperator, and the vessels steering a contrary course, the timbers of the Prussian bark were perforated, and for some minutes it was doubted by the seamen on board either vessel if both would not go down. The John, however, was extricated by cutting away her anchor, and she thereby averted the dreadful fate of the Prosperator. STATEMENT OF ONE OE TEE SURVIVORS Since writing the above, I have seen the mate of the Pros pereor, Charles Rathka. He is an intelligent man, and made to me the following statement, setting forth the origin of the collision, and the names of those who met a watery grave : " About 18 o'clock we were S.S.E. quarter E., and five miles distant from the Goodwin easterly light, keeping our course N.E. half N. Our vessel was making about four and three-quarter knots an hour, and about 12 o'clock we were S.E. half E., and about six miles from the light, and one of the men on watch said there was a vessel ahead. The night was dark, and there were two men forward keeping a look out, and there were also on deck myself and a man at the helm. The captain had gone to lie down, and the other seven hands were in their berths asleep. Our full number was 12, but we lost one hand in the Bristol Channel. When I was told there was a vessel ahead, I sang out to the men at the helm to keep off, and put the helm up alarhoard. I also sang out to those on board the John, but instead of her keeping to windward, as she should have done, she ran foul of us, and her larboard anchor fixed in our bow. I believe there was no look-out on board the Jonn, and the captain told me that he was below at the time making up the log, and all the crew were aft hauling in the braces. The anchor of the John made a hole in our bow of several feet, and we were both fast; with our stern upwards, and did not know which vessel would go down. I called to our captain, who im mediately came upon deck to see what was the matter, and upon seeing us foul, he asked the other if they were English. No answer was returned, and we afterwards heard by their conversation that they were Russians. The captain of the John inquired why our captain came so close to him, and the latter answered, 'My name is Albrecht.' Our cap tain then called on us to try to get clear of the other vessel, and half of us on deck set about hauling in the mainvards, and the others were engaged in cutting away with an axe the bulwarks of the Prosperata, for the purpose of disengaging her from the anchor of the John. The carpenter, named Wesling, was called, but did not come. I perceived at this time that there was a large hole in the bow of our bark, and I told the captain so. The sea now carne up between the vessels, and the captain ordered us to get the boats ready. I immediately ran to do so, and was cutting away the lashings when the John hove to, and struck us again, and our vessel went down immediately. The captain, when he ordered us to get the boat ready, went into the cabin to fetch his papers, and he had not time to reach the deck again. I saved my self by jumping on board the John, and Heckendorff, the boatswain, and Eugen, a seaman, did the same. Those that have perished are D. W. Albrecht, captain ; Wesling, the carpenter ; Schultz, Ladke, Worm, and Abraham, seamen, and the coxswain's boy and the cabin-boy. They were all in bed except the captain. 11Iy opinion is, that it was very wrong of the crew of the John to be hauling in the braces, and all to be aft at that time of night where we were, and for the captain to be below. He told me himself thi s was so , possessed." s to el be H andeticekeelpy d or ff , I , a n n e v d e E r u h g e e a n r d have‘ o v f h s o u l coa are et a ep t v h er i ru n ys g tshi b ai e nn fii r ea.p thatp INewalery affirechteedsautrythiveourntimely end which their shipmates have met with.

Wonurt ABBEY, SATURDAY.—For the la - st fortnight the most cost costly preparations have been making here to do honour to the reception of her Majesty, Prince Albert, and numerous suite, consisting of the principal noblemen and ladies of the royal household : so magnificent an entertain ment to royalty, as this is likely to be, has not been given during the present reign, or long antecede n t. The royal party (which we learn may probably include the Queen of the Belgians, their Royal Highnesses the Duke and Duchess of Cambridge, Prince George and the Princess Augusta) is expected to arrive on Monday afternoon, and sojourn in this ducal mansion until Wednesday, when the royal cortege is expected to proceed to Pansanger, the resi dence of Earl and Countess Cowper, and to Viscount Mel bourne, at Brocket Hall, in the neighbouring county of Herts.. The cabinet ministers, Prince Esterhazy, and the foreign ambassadors and ministers, with their ladies, and a select party of the principal nobility, have been invited to meet her Majesty. We have seen a list of the invitations, but as se veral of the distinguished guests may be prevented being present, it would be premature to publish it. From what we have witnessed of the grand preparation, we should feel perfectly safe in asserting that no fete of equal splendour and magnificence has been given to a British Queen, since the pompous times of Qneen Elizabeth. We therefore feel justified in giving, in anticipation of this inter esting event, those details which have come within our obser vation and knowledge, at greater length than we otherwise should have done upon a more ordinary occasion. The magnificent and extensive pile of buildings, this an cient seat of the Russell family, known as " Woburn Abbey," has real claim to that title ; for on the site of the present mansion there existed in the early part of the 11th century a monastery, founded by Hugh de Bolabec, a wealthy baron, and which was intended for monks of the Cistercian order. The monastery and its revenues, in the middle of the 16th century, on the suppression of religious houses, were, by Ed ward VI., granted to John Lord Russell, who was soon after created Earl of Bedford, and it has remained in the possession of the descendants of that family ever since. The following are expected to form part of the royal suite, viz. :—The Lord Chamberlain, the Earl of Uxbridge, the Marquis of Headfort, Duchess of Sutherland, Lady Barring ton, Countess of Uxbridge, Lady Lyttleton, Sir Frederick Stovin, the Maid of Honour in Waiting, the Queen and Prince's equerries in attendance. A squadron of the Bedfordshire Yeomanry Cavalry will forma guard of honour during her Maje s ty' s stay. It is now considered almost certain that the Queen will not visit the Marquis of Westminster at Moor Park for the pre sent ; nor will her Majesty pay any other visit during the tour of the ensuing week, than to Eat and Countess Cowper, and to Lord Melbourne. Her Majesty, Prince Albert, and the royal suite are ex pected to return to Windsor Castle by Friday or Saturday afternoon. CONSERVATIVE DINNER AT COLERAINE SPEECH OF THE REV. FIELDING OULD. At a dinner of the conservative electors of Coleraine, to commemorate the return of Mr. Litton for that borough, the Rev. Fielding Ould delivered the following eloquent and animated speech in responding to the toast of " The mem bers and conservative electors of the town of Liverpool." The Rev. FIELDING OULD said he had much pleasure in responding to the call made on him to return thanks for the members and conservative electors of Liverpool. It would be admitted by all present that they have done their duty at the late election. A few years ago Liverpool was one of the most radical towns in the empire. (Hear, hear.) At the election in 1837 two conservative members were returned by a majority of four hundred. This was considered a great achievement at the time ; and when they looked back a little further and compared it to the time when Lord Brougham and Mr. Ewart represented it, there is no doubt that it was. At the last election a great effort was made to bring in two radical members—one of them a minister of the crown, the other an eminent merchant of Liverpool—and what was the result ? The conservatives were returned by a majority of 1,500 votes. (Cheers.) They would ask to what this pleasing change was attributable? To that he would give the answer given by Lord Sandon at the hustings—to the legitimately ex ercised influence of the clergy. (Cheers.) He said legiti mate influence, because there was an influence that was not legitimate ; the clergy of the church of England were not ac customed like the Romish priests, to employ the influence of the horsewhip—they did not deliver their anathemas from the altar. They never forgot, and never would, he trusted, forget, that their weapons were not carnal, but mighty, through God, to the pulling down of strongholds. (Cheers.) The instrumentality they employed was that cf protestant societies. They taught the middle and working classes their religious and political duty, and when that was done, they could safely trust them at the hustings. It was owing to this that Lord Sandon and Mr. Cresswell were elected by a majo rity so large that it would prevent any radical from contesting the representation for many a year to come. (Loud cheers.) And why it may be asked do the clergy interfere in these matters ? Simply because the questions that have lately oc cupied the attention of the legislature are of a religious cha racter. The whole matter has resolved itself into this, — whether protestant ascendancy, with all its blessings, is to be put down, and the nation is to be trampled under foot by the papacy, and to be rough-ridden by the Man of Sin. (Loud cheers.) When they saw her Majesty's ministers pursuing a system of national education hostile to the prin ciples of the Church of England—when ten of its bishoprics were extinguished at one fell swoop—when they saw Papists promoted, and permitted to creep like locusts even into the Queen's palace—when they saw Maynooth supported by a public grant, and Romish priests and bishops endowed in the colonies, they thought the time was come when it was their duty to show the people the difference between protestantism and popery, and to discourage by every means in their power the one, and support the other. (Cheers.) And to what does England owe her glory ? Is it to the con quests at Copenhagen, the Nile, and Trafalgar ? Is it to that splendid series of victories, that followed in rapid succession, from the moment when Wellington entrenched his army be hind the lines of Torres Vedras, to the crowning victory of Waterloo ? He said, no—the glory of England is in her protestantisrn,—(hear, hear, and loud cheers)—in the blood bought right of every man to read God's word—in the right of private judgment—in her civil and religious liberty. (Loud and continued cheering.) These are her glory and her crown ; but when has popery supported liberty? lie would mention an anecdote to show how little she regards it at the present day. A friend of his was lately travelling on the continent, and, on entering what is called the States of the Church—the territory over which the Pope possesses uncon trolled dominion—a bible was discovered in his luggage. I t was taken from him, and he was told that as long as he re mained he could not be allowed to read it—to read the Word of God ! It was given to a Cardinal ; and on his leaving the country, at the end of three months, it was restored to him, with the observation from his holiness, that he hoped he would make good use of it. Now, if one of the custom house officers of Queen Victoria were, on searching the luggage of a Romish priest coming into this country—(hear, hear, hear)—to find a Breviary, which was filled, not with the words of Divine revelation, but with old wives' fables and blasphemous conceits, and to take it from him, what an outcry would be immediately raised about the violence done to civil and religious liberty. (Loud cheers.) It must be evident to all, that the contentions of the ministry are directed to the overthrow of the sister churches of these countries—the Church of England, and the Church of Scot land. (Hear, hear.) They knew that where the Churches of the Reformation are established, popery can never make way. The Regent Murray established protestantism in Scot land, and popery has not made many advances there since. The Eighth Henry established it in England, and popery has not advanced there. The Elector of Saxony established it in Prussia, and Prussia is protestant still. The glorious Prince of Orange established it in Holland, and Hol land is protestant still. Gustavus Vasa established it in Sweden, and Sweden is protestant still. (Loud cheers. And what was the language of O'Connell to the priests, but this— " Give me political power, and I will, in return, overthrow for you the church." So long as these attacks were confined to the outposts—while the cry was confined to franchises and the like, the clergy stood neutral; hut, when the citadel of Protestantism itself was besieged, then they formed their Protestant Associations, and when a Protestant Association was formed in every town in England, then Popery will be effectually beaten back. (Cheers.) It was a remarkable fact, that Protestantism has been four times already impe rilled in England. First, in the reign of bloody Queen Mary, when the fires of Smithfield were lighted to drink up the blood of the reformers—next, in the reign of Queen Elizabeth, when the Spanish Armada visited this northern coast of ours, and was repelled by the kind providence of our God, and the gallantry of the navy. The next was in the reign of King James the First, when the gunpowder plot was formed ; and, lastly, when the nation rose up to vindicate their outraged Protest an ti sm, an d i nv i te d t h a t P r i nce o f Glorious Memory — (thunders of applause)—to assume the reigns of power—when, on the banks of the Boyne, and at the gates of Londonderry—(tremendous cheering)—the fate of Popery was sealed for two centuries, and England, aye and Ireland too, d ec l are d t h at they would never bow down to the Man of Sin. (Enthusiastic and long-continued ap plause.) Now, o ne o f t h e strongest c l a i ms t h at our repre sentative has upon you—l speak of him as mine (said the rev. gentleman) because I stand in my own native town—is, that he is the champion of the church. He (Mr. Ould) saw good in other churches as well as his own. He was the friend of the Church of Scotland also, and in the struggle which must take place in the next session of parliament respecting the po sition of that church, he knew that she would find a faithful and sympathizing m an i n M r . Litto n . A n d none was mo re anxious for the success of the Church of Scotland, in her present efforts to get rid of the incubus of patronage, than he (Mr. 0.) was. He was the friend of all orthodox churches —of all who, though they differ on minor matters, love the head. (Ifear, hear, arid loud cheers.) There might be unity without conformity. The union of Protestants was a union of sound doctrine, of life, and of freedom. The union of Po pery is the union of the grave--a union of rottenness, cor ruption, and death. (Loud cheers.) He would illustrate their present position by an anecdote. It was recorded in history of a brave and devoted soldier, who, with his little band, was surprised by the enemy in superior force. A council of war was held to determine what course it was best to pursue. The greater number were for a retreat, seeing the disproportion between the two bodies. His answer was " never, no surrender"—(loud cheers)—" let us march on ward," said he, " to the fight —some of them we will kill, of some we will ma ke p r i soners , an d some will rtin away. This (said Mr. O u ld) i s th e p os iti o n of our enemies. They boast of their numbers—what then ? Shall we sound a re treat ? No, we must hold our ground, and our motto must, I say again and again, be—no surrender. (Great cheering.) We must march onward for mu- altar and our homes—for our freely circulated Bible—(co n ti nu ed cheering) — for our civil and religious liberty ; for some of them we shall assuredly kill, as an Irishman ever should wish to kill—with kindness ; some we shall make prisoners—prisoners of hope—a hope full of immortality ; and, if any fly away, we w ill say to them, `• turn ye, turn ye, why will ye die." (The rev. gentleman sat down amidst rapturous applause.) FURTHER PARTICULARS OF THE WRECKS OF THE HOPE AND ATHLONE, AND THE PREMIER. Q., SECRETARY AT LLOYD'S. " Foreign Office, July 14.

IMPORTANT TO FREEMEN The Town-clerk has issued public notice that no claims for the freedom of the borough will be investigated after Thursday, the 29th instant, nor any freeman sworn in after Friday, the 30th instant, unless upon ground of previous absence from town, or of the party not being entitled to the freedom until after the 29th, or other sufficient ground duly supported. We therefore earnestly call upon all freemen to attend without delay to these indispensable pre-requisites for the possession of the parliamentary franchise. IMPORTANT TO MUNICIPAL VOTERS. To secure a vote at the next municipal election, the fol lowing is the necessary qualification : The occupation on the ensuing 31st August, and during the two preceding years, of a house, warehouse, count ing -house, a shop within the borough, for which the occupier is rated, and on which all rates due thereon, except those becoming due within six months before the 31st have been paid before that date. The oc cupier must also, during the whole of that period (say two years and nine months) have been an inhabitant householder within seven miles of the borough. The day on which claimant's qualifications must be com pleted, and the last day for the payment of rates is the 31st August. A person succeeding to the occu pation of a house, 4-c. by descent, marriage, demise, 6-c., is entitled to reckon as his own the occupancy and rating of the person by or through whom he suc ceeds. IMPORTANT TO BOROUGH VOTERS. _Every person qualed to vote for a borough, as an oc cupier of premises of the yearly value of £lO. must examine the list of voters of the parish or township, on the two first Sundays in August, and which may also be seen any day in the two first weeks of August, by applying to one of the overseers of that parish or township, Such overseer is bound to show the list, and allow it to be read, without being paid any thing. If the voter find that his name is not on the list, he must, on or before the 25th of August, deliver or send to one of the proper parish or township a claim to have his name put on the list. That claim must be in the proper form; and the voter or some one for him, must attend the revising barrister to prove his right. If he finds that his name is on the list, but that there is some mistake as to the name or description, he must attend before the revising barrister, to have the mistake corrected. If any voter knows of any bad votes on any overseer's he should take care that these bad votes be objected to ; and this must be done on or before the 25th of August. TO CORRESPONDENTS It is quite out of our power to. supply copies of the STAN DARD of Friday last to the numerous applications from the country which we received yesterday, and to those parties who enclosed the price of the paper, a copy of the publica tion of this morning will be forwarded. The sentiments of " A Conservative Wesleyan Methodist" are more suitable for the Albion or Mercury than the STANDARD. " An Elector" is extremely desirous of seeing some public proposal fora dinner to our excellent representatives, but the building to which he alludes cannot possibly be ob tained for that purpose. The lines of " T. S. W." have not sufficient merit. Ebr Ktberpoot Atanbarb. TUESDAY MORNING, JULY 27, 1841. tions' We could pardon the writer of the famous ante nuptial epistle a multitude of sins, if we could believe him to be gifted with even a moderate portion of re gard for truth; hut as there are some who think that it is necessary for them to go all lengths with their party, so we apprehend his lordship is one of those who conceive that one must not . hesitate to put black for white, and lie enormously if the interests of their sect require it. The address to the electors of London may be re garded as the manifesto of the future opposition, as well as an enunciation by an ad interim minister, of the more immediate intentions of the Cabinet; and in this point of view it is perhaps of more value than in the other. The noble lord will, of course, be the leader of the new opposition, and in this letter he af fords some glimpses as to what the character of that opposition will be. We may depend upon it that it will not be characterised by a scrupulous adherence to veracity. "If they do these things in the green tree"— if the leader of the future opposition whilst yet in office, and under restraints which the dignity and re sponsibility of his office should impose upon him, al lows himself a latitude which far exceeds the bounds of poetical license, what may we expect of him when those restraints are removed, and he is at the head of a band soured by disappointment, irritated by over throw, and raving with thirst after those official sweets from whose enjoyment they have been excluded ? His lordship reiterates the statement that the lead ing devices of the budget were no afterthought conse quent upon the defeat which ministers sustained on the Irish Qualification Bill—as if that which nobody believed when originally set forth must gain some cre dit by being often and confidently reiterated. But in the absence of any evidence to show that the popula rity-affecting measures of cheap bread and the rest had ever formed the subject of a Cabinet intent or consul tation, and the admitted fact of their never having been once alluded to in Parliament, there are the re corded sentiments of the preceding year both of his lordship and the Premier in entire condemnation of any Such project. And yet the noble lord repeats this assertion, and has even the hardihood to add that they proposed these plans in order to save their successors from "an unpopular or impracticable task"! " Had we resigned," he says, " with a deficient revenue, and without pointing out the means of improving it, the same persons would, with far more justice, have ac cused us of being afraid to meet the difficulties we had caused, and of imposing upon our successors an unpo pular or impracticable task." This is another stretch of the flimsy plea of preme. ditation ; here we are called upon to believe not only that the plan of the budget had been prepended by the Whigs, but that it was afterwards detailed out of tender consideration for their successors in office ; and that, in getting up the cry of cheap bread, it was the interest of the Conservative party that they had chiefly consulted for. In making such assertions we charge the noble lord with a palpable disregard to truth, and with gravely stating not only what was not true, but what he knew to be directly contrary to the truth. We would leave it to any twelve men in England of the rank of petty jnrors, that the budget was an afterthought consequent upon an ignominious defeat, and that the plan of free trade was brought out to catch a little popularity, and in the hope of embarrassing rather than of affording facilities to the successors of the ministry ; and would have no doubt of their decision In the gloriose style which the noble lord adopts to wards the close of his address, we see further evi- dence of that tendency to distort and exaggerate which seems to enter deeply into the constitution of his mind —" Out of power, we forced our adversaries themselves to free the Roman Catholics from their disabilities .:" " In power, we abolished slavery in our colonies—we destroyed the monopoly of privileges in our corpora '—and so on. Now we should be very glad, if it were in our power, to ascribe to his lordship and his party all the merit of some of these achievements; but truth compels us to negative the claim. With regard to one of these vain boastings, the noble lord is parti cularly unfortunate ; it is, we think, the last of the series, but certainly not the least in the Ferdinando Mendez Pinto quality of romancing. He says, "In " power, we have carried into practical effect the prin ciples of equality of civil privileges between Pro " testants and Roman Catholics, and have thereby se " cured to the Crown the affectionate loyalty of the " people of Ireland." Now if all his lordship says be as true as this, we may infer how vastly scrupulous he is in all he alleges. There are two positions in this one short sentence, both of which are as egregiously, as they are, we may say, notoriously incorrect. It is not true that the Whigs have carried into practical effect t he principles of equality either civil or religious in Ireland. That this is not the case in part, the horrible outrages per petrated by the Papist party at the late elections, amounting, in intent, to a disqualification of all who would exercise their civil privileges contrary to their wishes, abundantly prove. There is no equality be tween Protestants and Papists, or, we might say, Con servatives , and Radicals, in the sister country, in this respect. There is abundant evidence to this effect from Carlow, from Cork, Tipperary, Wexford, and several other places. The following statement, taken from a Wexford paper of last week, affords some illustration of the religious liberty enjoyed in the country when the profession of faith is not in accordance/with the taste of the favoured masses : " OUTRAGE IN TIIE COUNTY OE WEXFORD.—As a clergyman of this diocese, accompanied by two ladies, was returning home from the neighbourhood of Enniscortty, on Saturday week, they were furiously assailed, while passing through Taghmon, by a mob, which it was understood, had been chairing Mr. Hawkshaw. The elder lady was struck on the head and neck by several stones, one of which, subse quently found in the car, weighed between three and four pounds. She is now suffering from concussion of the brain. The young lady received a blow on the hip, which is conside rably bruised. The driver, to whose steady conduct, under. Heaven, the party are indebted for their deliverance, was struck severely on the side. The blow was doubtless-intended for the clergyman, as the man who threw it was seen to pick up a large stone and deliberately hurl it at that gentleman's head. The providence of a merciful God, however, fortu nately frustrated the villain's deadly design—the stone passed close by his face, and struck the driver, as we have stated, in the side. What could have been the motive for this atrocious proceeding, it is difficult to imagine, unless indeed that to be a protestant clergyman, on even connected with one, is a crime worthy of blood-shedding. In no way whatever is the gentleman upon whom this attempt was made connected with or engaged in the present electioneering proceedings — nor indeed any one member of his female companion's family." Occurrences of this kind are far from being un usual, and serve to show where the inequality at pre sent lies with regard to religious liberty. Of the " affectionate loyalty" of the Roman Catholics we hap pen to have before us a specimen which ought to be very grateful to the feelings of the Whig minister. It is the speech of the famous Romanist Bishop Dr. Mllale, on proposing Robert Dillon Browne, Esq., as a proper person to represent the county of Mayo in Parliament. It opens as follows : " Dr. Mac Hale, in rising to propose Robert Dillon Browne, Esq., as a proper person to represent this great county, said-1 am sure lam but the organ of the unanimous and enthusiastic feelings of the entire of this liberal con stituency. (Cheers.) I recommend him as one opposed to the truculent principles of the tories—as one not content with the wretched and vacillating policy of the Whigs, but, above all, as a firm, sincere, and uncompromising advocate of that national measure—the repeal of the legislatzve union, and the restoration of a home legislature to our unfortunate country." Lord John Russell could scarcely have been aware of the strong affection for Repeal entertained by the Romanists when he spoke of their loyal affection for the Queen. This affection Dr. M‘Hale further mani fests in the following passage : " We are, then, nine millions, not an inert, lifeless mass, doomed to a political serfship, as under the old regime, nor driven to and fro like the Chartists in England, or the rest less anarchists in France ; but an active, intelligent, and in creasing body, conscious of our rights, and resolved to assert them—wielding the shield of reason against the brute force of our oppressors. (Loud cheers.) The unfortunate Whigs overshot the mark. Had they asserted the interests of the empire whilst they had . yet violated no pledge, and stood firm in the confidence of the country, they might have gone out of office with general regret, but they would soon have been triumphantly brought back on the shoulders of the people. Instead of that, they forgot their plighted faith; they ministered to individual cupidity, instead of consulting the public interest. They created stipendiary magistrates, and inspectors, and commissioners, and chiefs, and sub chiefs of police, and a whole host of unnecessary function aries, increasing the local taxation of the people, and so exhausted the confidence of the great influential masses of the nation, that they are on the brink of expiring of a political consumption. (Hear, hear.) They deserved their fate; it will be a lesson to all succeeding administrations. (Hear, hear.)'4 So much for the veraciousness of the Colonial Se cretary—a quality which we may reasonably expect he will bring with him in undiminished power to the op position benches ; and as he speaks in no despairing tone of hereafter carrying measures which he may be compelled for the present to abandon, it is, we think, right to be prepared for the system of operation which he will be likely to act upon. That his lordship is re solved 'to be busy and bustling, he tells us himself. " It is necessary for our purpose," he says, " to be " vigilant and united ; to oppose zeal to zeal; to watch " minute details as well as to maintain great principles ; " in short, to exert, for a great and salutary end, the " same untiring activity which has been exhibited in a " more questionable cause. As we do not distrust the " justice of the measures we have proposed, let not " temporary failure check our perseverance." For this intimation we should be thankful to his lordship. Conservatives will not be suffered to sleep. They have got no contemptible enemy to deal with; and they must be on the alert. Fas est vb hoste doceri. According to the doctrine of certain Liberal patriots, it is quite monstrous on the part of Conservative land lords and employers not to be satisfied with their tenantry and dependents voting against their wishes — and they hope to remedy the evil, first, by singling out those parties who evince their displeasure as objects of the most unqualified censure, and secondly, by a prac tice of secret voting, some time or other to be effected by authority of the legislature. Now, as good Conservatives, we must at all times combat this device of the adversary in whatever shape it presents itself—and it is fortunate that we can do so without advancing, as partisans, one atom beyond the line to which we should confine ourselves, were we in fluenced by no other feeling than a love of abstract justice and perfect right. We do not rest merely upon this, that they who complain of the Conservatives should first take the beam out of their own eye—that Liberals themselves exercise with certainly not less strictness the very same watchfulness over their de pendents and employe's that they charge Conservatives with doing ; this might be a sufficient answer to the parties who make the objection, but would obviously not be a sufficient answer to the objection itself — inasmuch as it is no justification for a man doing that which is imputed to him as a wrong, that others do it. " Independence" is plainly the subject with which our subject is conversant. The Liberal is anxious to make the tenant, the operative, the shopkeeper, or whatever other description of person may be named, independent, politically independent ; we do not quarrel with the object; we like to see men independent; but what we allege to be the difficulty, nay, almost the im possibility in this case is, to make that man politically independent who is not so civilly and morally; we say that the thing cannot be done. Take the relation of landlord and tenant, as existing between the owner of a large estate and the peasantry or tenantry, whose livelihood depends on the existence or continuance of that relationship; there if independence exist it must be mutual ; if the tenant may be independent of his landlord, so, a fortiori, we may say, the landlord may be independent of his tenant. The landlord is at liberty to choose his own tenantry, and to make that choice not merely with reference to certain conditions inserted in a lease or other legal instrument of con tract, but also with respect to other things not in them selves immoral, or unlawful, as, for instance, that of voting on the same side with him at parliamentary elections. This the landlord certainly may do, and do so, we conceive, unblameably. Now, if the tenant re ceive the land, and receive it on the understood condi tion, lie is bound to fulfil his part of the o bligation. The same principle pervades in other cases; when a nan aecepti an employment, or favour of any sort, lie should consider the conditions annexed to it, and he has no right to complain of being afterwards required to make good those which were incumbent upon hitr• Thus, then, we establish a sort of right in the landlord or employer in certain cases to the political support of those connected with him in either capacity, and we allow the benefit of it to the Liberal quite as much as we claim it for the Conservative. We defy the Liberals to controvert this position. Unless they can show that it is unlawful or immoral, or in some way wrong, for a man to require his de pendents to support the same- cause that he does him self, they cannot do it; and upon that point we defy their utmost.ingenuity. So far from being wrong, we say that it is even laudable, provided that the cause which the superior person espouses be itself a right and a just one ; the practice is legitimate ; but the cause in whose support it is exercised must determine whether it be a virtuous dealing or otherwise. The Liberals seek to loose men from this depend ence; but they cannot do it, unless they raise them above those circumstances in which they were born. Let a man acquire an independence in fortune, and then he may be elevated to political independence; let him be independent of landlords, employers, or custo mers, by reason of his own acquisitions or possessions, and then he will be under no obligation to consult the wishes of others in the exercise of his political fran chises. The Ballot is their short method for over leaping the difficulty. But it would fail of its pur pose; and so far from introducing political independ ence where nature and circumstances have denied it, that we do think it would be the most powerful instru ment ever yet invented for bowing men down in a state of dependence the most degrading and contemp tible. The Ballot is the Radical device to make the dept:ndent man independent; but how is it to effict tins ? Why, by concealing his vote. What a spirited, independent politician that man would be who should be afraid to avow his political sentiments; yet this is the Radical way of making men independent A man is to vote; but nobody is to know how he votes. He may lie to his landlord, or employer, or political solicitant, and thus escape all the consequences he should apprehend from voting against their wishes— an admirable contrivance certainly for promoting treachery, duplicity, and falsehood—for anything, in- iced, but making men virtuous or honourably inde- pendent. The voter on the secret system must either speak the truth, or lie, or say nothing respecting the vote he gives. Now, if he do the first, the ballot is of no use to him ; he hfv; no occasion for it. If he give a false account of himself, then the ballot has been a positive injury to him, and a sad temptation in his way; but if he do 'the last—if he remain mute—his silence will be taken for assent, and the ballot will afford him no protection. The ballot would not conceal the vote from prying superiors; and thus its principal purpose, in the contemplation of its supporters, would be defeated. We return then to our main position; namely—that here are no means of giving political independence to hose who, by their circumstances in life, are essentially dependent; we would add, that this dependence is by no means so grievous a yoke as the Liberals would represent it, and that it is quite capable of being made to subserve an excellent purpose. We perceive by a correspondence, published by a London journal of last week, that certain methodists of Gainsborough applied to Earl BroWnlow for a piece of land, somewhere in the village of Torksey, for the purpose of building a chapel thereon. The applicants stated, that it would, in their judgment, greatly pro mote the election interest of the honourable Mr. Cust, if his lordship would concede this favour. They offered to purchase or take the land on lease, but still they esteemed the grant of it on any terms as a favour. They sated that the number of Wesleyans who reside in the Gainsborough circuit is upwards of 1300, and they added, that there was a report in circulation that his lordship " did not fully admit the principles of religious toleration," which report his granting this favour would enable them " most happily to resist and confute." Now, Lord Brownlow did not ac cede to this request, inasmuch as he said "it was not consistent with his principles of attach- merit to the Established Church -to contribute to the propagation of dissent from her discipline and worship." In this case, then, the negociation failed ; but we say, had it been otherwise had Lord Brownlow given the land, and the Wesleyan Methodists of Gainsborough accepted of it, there would have existed a political contract between them, and the Methodists could not afterwards, with honour to themselves, refuse to vote for a Conservative candi date at the request of Lord Brownlow. Had this taken place it would be an instance—not perhaps the best, but still an instance of that sort of political dependence which men take upon themselves voluntarily—which would consequently be no burthen to them, and of which they would afterwards have no right to com, plain. If a man's mind enters into the contract, no grievance is felt, and none can really be said to exist. Superiors and inferiors are only thus bound together more closely, and if they co-operate for a good pur pose, more good is done, and good and not evil is gener ally the result. Some landlords in Ireland have been grievously assailed for acting upon what we would call this reciprocity principle ; but we undertake to say, without reason, at least in most instances. However, we shall reserve this matter for another opportunity. The Albion of yesterday reminds the burgesses that though they are now late to take any steps for the next parliamentary registration, they are not so for the municipal, and earnestly entreats all such as are of his way of thinking, to bestir themselves. By way of encouraging his party, he assures them that notwith standing their defeat, at the recent parliamentary election, they are still the majority in the town, and must have the ascendancy in the council, if it be not their own fault. Now, with all due deference to our liberal contemporary, we beg to say that there is a small exaggeration, the aliquot part of a stretcher, or something of that kind, in his allegation. We should not wish any of his readers to be deceived, nor that he should be deceived himself on the subject; the Liberals are not the majority in the borough, but the minority. We appeal to the same authority to which our con temporary himself appeals, namely--the Poll Book of the last election. He says that it appears by that re turn that Sir J. Walinsley had a majority of 61 over Lord Sandon in the voters by household franchise; hence lie argues that the majority of householders are Liberals. Now, here is a specimen of what the logicians call the suppressio veri, and suggestia falsi; there is a truth told, but it is not the whole truth. It is true, according to this return, .that 3875 house holders voted for Lord Sandon, and 3936 for Sir J. Walmsley, which would give the knight a seeming majority of the householders of 61 ; but on looking a little further into the matter, we find that of the free men having household franchise, 186 voted for Lord Sandon, and 76 for Sir J. Walmsley, which makes this trifling alteration in the case, that instead of the Re former having the majority of householders on his side by sixty,—he is just in a minoritylof thirty•one. Every householder may not be a freeman; that is quite true; but it is not so with the converseofthepto- position, for every freeman may be a householder. Now, the Conservatives are every way the majority in Liverpool; they are the majority as free-men ; they are the majority as qualified householders; and why should they not have the majority in the Town Council ? They return Conservative members to the national Congress, why should t he y not return Conservative members to the local Senate ? We sh a ll say no more at present, but that ifit be a matter of prime import ance that Liverpool should be represented by fit and proper' men in parliament, it is a m a tt er o f scarce l y l ess i mpor t anc e that its local affairs should be administered, and its local government conducted by representatives of a similar stamp and character. TIIE LATE INQUEST ON GEORGE MYEBS.-It will be remembered that during the late election, a man of the name of George Myers was kill e d b y a brick thrown at him by Daniel Shieds, an Irishman, who, along with other radicals, was e ngaged in creating a disturbance in Fisher street. The Manchester Courier of Saturday last, has the following ob servation on the case. "If the evidence in this case be cor rectly reported, (which we have no doubt it is) we apprehend the verdict ought to have been " Wilful Murder," not only against the man Shields, but against all the persons who had congregated on the roof of his house. It is laid down by Blackstone, (vol. i v . p. 199,) that " if two or more come to gether to do an unlawful act against the king's peace, of which the probable consequences might be bloodshed„ as to commit a riot, to beat a man, or to rob a park ; and one of them kills a man: it is murder in them all, because of the unlaw ful act, the m a liti a preecog i tata, or ev i l i ntende d b e f or e hand.
