NEW FRUIT WAREHOUSE, CORNER OF 7 ' and CLAYTON SQUARE, PARKER-STREE LADIES' CHARITY I.ND PROPOSED NEW INSTITUTION. TO THE EDITOR OF THE LIVERPOOL STANDARD. 1 1, 1 I R,—The Correspondence appearing in Friday's .3 STANDARD calls for an Explanation on our part, which, ith further information, we now beg to afford. First, as regards the Ziverpool Times: in that paper of the 23d instant, equally with the Mail and STANDARD of the te, and the Courier of the 24th, we authorised the a of our Pamphlet published last year, and to which and for the occasion, we prefixed a few Re ree latter papers published all we directed .ith accuracy ; but we were surprised and hurt to discover that the Times had not done so, but, omitting the Preface to our Pamphlet, to which Mr. Batty's and our own Names stood attached, entirely of its own accord, and without the least instruction or intention on our part, transferred those names to the foot of the Introductory Remarks drawn up only by ourselves, and of course without any knowledge on Mr. Batty's part. Of this, therefore, it is evident that we, as well as Mr. Batty, are entitled to complain; and we did complain, and expect that the Times:of next Tuesday will itself acknowledge the mistake. And to show our desire for the correction of this error, we may mention that on Tuesday last we drew up a brief Statement for the purpose of inser mrier of next day, in which paper it was unfor -,-nedly omitted. at the mome marks. The tion in the a tunately and and Next comes the question respecting the relinquishment of Wards by the Ladies' Charity. We have asserted that the Charity has not formally or finally abandoned such a pro ject; Mr. Batty, as Mr. John Cropper states, has asserted the contrary, and the former Gentleman has likewise quoted from Resolutions of the Combined Committee of the Charity in confirmation of the statement which he made. Now, we ttention, and that of your readers, to : ton this subject. At a meeting of thi the Ladies' Charity, on December 18 g Resolution was come 'to for a Lying-in Hospital in this populous strongly brought under the notice of the Ladies' Charity by its medical officers -That a general meeting of the subscribers in the course of the ensuing month, of which due notice will be given, to take into consideration the expedi ency of establishing lying-in wards in connexion with the Ladies' Charity, provided sufficient funds can be raised to carry the plan into execution without curtailing its present sphere of usefulness. JAMES COCKSIIOTT, President The parties present at this meeting were eight ladies and four gentlemen, including the official authorities of the charity, besides the medical men. Owing to circumstances which need not be here detailed, the General Meeting here resolved upon was postponed, an allusion to which postpone ment appeared in the next Annual Report in the following eeting of the trustees and subscribers, in oned last month, for the purpose of con stion of hospital wards, is deferred till the have prepared their promised statement, cx advantages of the contemplated addition to the The proposed extension of the institution, is not designed, in any degree, to restrict or interfere with the existing plan of affording relief." e delay unhappily occurred during the whole of still the contemplated project of adding Hospital i never abandoned, but remained merely in abey proof of this, we quote the subjoined remarks ival Report of 1840, which was for the preceding in thee; Toe question of the hospital wards, alluded to in the report, is for the present postponed. Should the plan for iding the sphere of the charity be deemed at any future Id desirable the committee fully rely on the increased support of the subscribers." In the autumn of 1840 we were enabled to publish our statement, entitled " Remarks on the Necessity and Advan tages of establishing Lying-in Wards in connection with the Ladies' Charity of Liverpool," to which Mr. Batty's name, with our own, was appended, and we now trusted that a General Meeting of the Trustees and Subscribers would be called, to take its contents into consideration, and to decide, affirmatively or otherwise, with regard to what it proposed. Such General Meeting was not, however, called, but a Meet ing of the Committees of the Charity took place on Febru ary 9th last, at which six members only—three Ladies and three Gentlemen—were present. This was the Meeting which came to the Resolutions quoted by Mr. Batty, viz. : Resolved,—That the cordial thanks of the committees be returned to the medical officers for the able and interesting pamphlet recently published by them, advocating the addi tion of an hospital, or of Wards to the present limited system of relief administered by the charity. " Secondly,—That powerfully as the change is advocated, yet the committees are confimed, in their own opinions of its ineligibility, by the decided concurrence of a large majority of such friends of the charity as they have consulted, and they cannot recommend its adoption to the subscribers at large." A slight remark simply was made on the subject of hospi tal wards in the next annual report, which was the last. It thanks the professional gentleman for " their most interest ing communications on the subject of hospital wards but it says nothing concerning their repudiation. The point in controversy is, whether these resolutions of the Committee were or could be, a final determination or de cision upon a subject, on which it bad been previously de clared reqnisite, and resolved, by a much larger Committee, that a General Meeting of the Trustees and Subscribersshould be held. We cannot profess to be critically acquainted with the relative powers and privileges of Committees, as com pared with General Meetings ; but, considering that a Gene ral Meeting had been declared necessary, and that in the Re ports resulting from the Annual General Meetings, allusions to such General Meeting (as above cited) have been repeat edly made, we presume the conclusion on our parts will not appear unreasonable, that the question was still undecided by the only power competent to decide it—the Subscribers at 121,P of a G Ladies are strengthened in this opinion by the circumstance ;eneral Meeting of the Trustees and Subscribers to the s Charity being now lled. If . the Committee pos plenary power to decide the question, such Genera, ing, now about to take place, would scarcely have been lered necessary ; but as we perceive, it is considered sary, and the inference thence is unavoidable, viz.—that Inclusion is correct. was under this impressi on t h at we addressed the circular opy of which follows --=to each of the gentlemen whose s were connected with the proposed Instit u ti on , initne y on our perceiving its existence to be advertised in the lard of the 12th instant, which conveyed to us the very ntimation on the subject we had : ,o otter you the accompanying pamphl e t, a ttention to its co n t ents ; desiring to add is it refers, and whi c h we were at much cannot be considered to have been yel imposed of by the charity to which we belong. -e thought it not unsuitable to take this step. from ,nexpectedly observed in the Standard news. instant, an account of a similar project with -•onnected.—We have the honour to be, to call object to vw ) investigate, C the 12 )u . r obedient servants, " KING ELLISON, " SAMUEL MALINS, M.D , BAINBRIGGE. 115, Duke. street, Vov. 13, 1811." -.rally interested in the honour and welfare of to which we belong, especially in reference to an extension of its benevolent agencies amongst the poor, and as soon, therefore, as we perceived that a new Institution,. towards which we can entertain no hostile feeling, was pro to accomplish an object already under the notice of wn Charity, we thought it our duty, by every legitimate s, to draw - the serious attention of its authorities, and the iavourable notice of the public generally, to the question, with a view to procure its final adjustment ou satisfactory grounds.—We remain, sir, your obedient servants, KING ELLISON.

The whole town was shocked on Friday at learning that the Venerable the Archdeacon Hutchins was no more ! This lamented clergy man dined on the preceding evening with his Excellency the ' Governor, and soon after ten o'clock quitted the Government House in his usual excellent :health and spirits.

A letter appears in all the papers containing an exposition of his principles. Mr. Clay, who had also been spoken of in connexion with the Presidency, would not, it was thought, have any chance, now that the gallant general had avowed himself a candidate for the office of President. The government of the United States had, it will he re collected, brought an action against the Bank of the United States for the value of a bill drawn by the United States government upon France, as part of the indemnity for spoliations. The bill had been purchased by the United Sta' ' —es Bank, and when presentee arts, no funds had been provided by the Chamber of Deputies, and, unfortunately, the bill was at sight, otherwise the government might have provided means ; but it was protested for non-payment and returned. The bank then charged the government with the customary damages, and delayed ,settling with the govern ment the amount of those damages, and this suit was com menced, and has been continued from term to term. The defendant's claim for damages was rejected by the court, and the jury gave a verdict for the plaintiff for 251,213 dollars 54 cents damages, and six cents costs. Some s p ecu l a ti on b a d been indulged as regards the effect of the verdict on the assignments, as the government always takes precedence of common creditors ; but it is intimated, that an appeal will be made by the defendants, which will continue the doubts that now hang over it. The citizens of New York had been engaged in their an nual election for senators and assembly-men. The demo cratic ticket had been carried, the whigs having deserted the polls. The decided tone of the popular voice in sustaining the course of President Tyler in regard to the bank question had, although expected, a depressing influence upon specu lative property and fancy stocks, and would confirm the tendency of all business to a cash basis. The yellow fever was rapidly on the decline at New Or leans. There was frost on the 23d ult. ; this, it was hoped, would abate the ravages of the fever, which had been even more destructive to human life the present season than it was in 1837. The commercial and the monetary news varies little from that received by the previous arrivals, domestic exchange was getting worse daily, and there was but a moderate de mand for drafts on• the south. The unusual delay in the period in which the cotton bills on Europe, for the new crop, (had made their appearance and had- a marked unfavourable effect on the southern and foreign exchanges. Only small operations had taken place in foreign exchange on the Bth. The arrival of the steamers Great Western and Britannia had been anxiously expected, until which the purchase of foreign bills were unimportant. Sterling continued at 10 9 to 11 10-1 per cent. premium, and on Paris sf. 20c. to sf. 181 c. The cotton market was without change. The flour market was firm, but the sales were small. Genesee was held firmly at six dollars 61 cents ;_ Brandywine six dolla rs 25 cen t s t o six dollars 374 cents ; Georgetown six dollars 6+ cents to 6 dollars incepts ; Ohio and Troy at six dollars; Michigan might be bought a little l ess th an s i x dollars. 2000 bushels Genesee wheat had been sold at 135 cents for shipment to the British provinces. The market for ashes was dull •, small sales had been made at six dollars for pots, and five dollars 75 cents for pearls. The latest accounts from Philadelphia describe a very un favourable state of things in that city. A letter dated the Bth, says,— " There is quite a panic here among the holders of stocks, and almost all descriptions fell off from one to five per cent. There is no apparent scarcity of capital that causes the fall in prices. So far as I can trace it, it arises wholly from a dis trust of the solvency of the several institutions. Girard fell -1, Mechanics one, Farmers and Mechanics 21, Philadelphia Bank 1, and Camden and Amboy R.R. five, since last sale. U. S. bank notes have improved considerably, and were to day taken at a discount as low as 30 per cent. Our currency is now about 51 per cent. below specie." The Great Western steam-ship, which left Bristol on the 23d ult., arrived at New York on the night of the Sth inst., after a passage of 15 days. The royal mail steamer, the Britannia, which sailed from Liverpool on the 21st ult., arrived at Boston on the 7th inst., after a run of fifteen days. Accounts from JamaiL to the Bth ult., had be en rece i ve d at New York. Several shocks of earthquakes had been felt in various parts of the island. In Spanish Town the scarlet fever was raging, and it is stated, in one of the papers, that out of a population of about 7000, there have been not less than 1500 cases of that fever within three months. Among the arrivals at Fort Royal, Oct. 1, we notice that of a vessel from England, with coal for the new royal mail steam-ship line. The news from Mexico relates to the civil war carried on in the capital between Santa Anna and Bustamente. Santa Anna, having arrived with his troops on the night of the 2d October, about three o'clock, captured by assault the fort of San Francisco, one of the strongest holds of Bustamente, and also the fort of St. Geronimo. Most of the officers and men captured, immediately enrolled themselves among Santa Anna's party. On the 3d President Bustamente, with 1500 infantry and 500 cavalry, attacked one of the posts of Gen. Santa Anna, but being stoutly resisted by 500 men of the corps of Puebla and Largas, was repulsed with great loss, and retired, leaving on the ground his killed and wounded. Gen. Galindo, on the same day, with 700 men, abandoned the cause of Bustamente and joined Santa Anna. The Censor says, that, at the last accounts, Gen. Santa Anna had completed the besieging line around the capital, with the prospect of its early surrender. A letter, dated Vera Cruz October 7, says,— , , , " The mail from Mexico has just arrived, with inform ation that the negociations pending between Santa Anna and Bustaruente had produced no result. In the meantime, the Fedral party had taken advantage of the state of things to proclaim the system of State Government, in the name of Bustamente ; to which, however, Bustumente had not yet assented. 'General Victoria has been called in as a mediator, and has left Xalapa for Mexico, and it was hoped a compro mise would through him, be effected so as to pacify all parties." The dates from Lima are to the 10th of July. General Santa Cruz had been proclaimed President of Bolivia by the people and army, and a deputation had been sent to Guayaquil to invite him to return to his native country and accept the command. A war between the Equator and Peru appeared inevitable, in which it was thought probable that Bolivia, with General Santa Cruz at her head, would take a part, and Peru would be invaded from the south and north simultane ously, when the fall of Gamarra would be certain. We learn, from New Granada, that Carthagena Was still besieged and blockaded. The Government squadron had. however, succeeded in throwing four months' provisions into the city and fort of Bocha Chica. The English ships of war had also assisted their merchant ships in landing their cargoes of provisions there. Rio Hache had declared in favour of the regular Government. An attempt was made to assassinate General Carrera, the virtual head of affairs in Central America. The author of the attempt was a marimba player, named Chepillo Andrade. Carrera was slightly wounded ; but this did not prevent him from drawing his sword and sabreing the assassin on the spot. Passengers by the packet-ship Patrick Henry, from New York :—Mr. F. B.

At the commencement of the season the quality was rather in ferior—it, however/ improves, and in staple arid colour is as good as usual. The crop will be an abundant one, and, with speeie funds and an abundant supply of goods, if high prices are any inducement, we may, with reason, expe c t a b us y winter.

The sales were 400 bales at 7i to 10 cents in mixed lots from middling to fully fair. The whole amount of sales being 2,720 bales. In consequence of our rivers falling rapidly, cotton holders have advanced their prices, within the last few days, from 1 to 1 cent per lb. upon the lower quali ties. To-day we may quote as follows :—Good fair, 10 cents middling, 81 to 81 cents; ordinary, 71 to 7 1 .

HER MAJESTY THE QUEEN DOWAGER (From the Court Circular of Friday.) The account of the health of her Majesty exhibited at Marlborough House yesterday to the nobility and gentry was as follows " The Queen Dowager sat up for several hours yesterday without being fatigued, and though troubled with her cough towards morning, her Majesty is in every respect as well as yesterday. " DAVID DAVIES, M.D. " Sudbury Hall, November 25, 1841." (From the Herald of Saturday.) Sudbury Hall, Friday afternodn, four o'clock. The bulletin of to-day, which 'I have the pleasure of transmitting to you, will afford to your readers the liveliest satisfaction, for the intelligence of her Majesty's progressive recovery cannot be otherwise than gratifying to the nation. The happy change which a few days has made is truly sur prising, and without entering into the exaggerated and erro neous details given at different times by your contemporaries, exhibiting to little or no advantage their bad taste, I have to observe, and that upon the best authority, that no doubts exist as to the eventual recovery of this august member of our royal family, from a severe and very alarming attack. The painful interest experienced by the public will be entirely relieved by the ratifying information that no further bulletin of her Majesty s health will be issued until Monday, when I sincerely trust a still more favourable announcement will be exhibited. At half-past eleven the physician in ordinary to her Ma jesty, Sir D. Davies, caused the following bulletin to be issued : "The Queen Dowager sat up again yesterday for some hours, and her Majesty feels herself refreshed this morning from having had a comfortable night's rest. " DAVID DAVIES. M.D." "No further bulletin will be issued till Monday next. "DAVID DAVIES, M.D• "Sudbury Hall, November 26, 1841, Friday morning, half-past one." Up to this hour (four o'clock) no change whatever has taken place, and her Majesty continues improving. Sudbury Hall November 2 8 , 1841 . , In the course of yesterday th e Q ueen Dowager again sat up for a long time, and had acquired so much strength that she was able, I am informed, to walk to and fro across the room, and this morning the reports, which 1 trust to-mor row's bulletin will verify, are that her Majesty has passed another good night. ,Though still occasionally harassed by her cough, this complaint, I a m t o ld , i s to a certain extentmitigated, and is becoming more similar to the character it bore before the present serious attack of illness.. COURT OP atTEN This was an action of libel brought by a Homan C priest against a clergyman of the Established Church facts of the case are well known to the public, an EXTRAORDINARY VOYAGE. A VESSEL BROUGHT FROM THE WEST INDIES BY TWO MEN On Tuesday evening the schooner Whim, Captain Ker ridge, belonging to Harwich, arrived in the West India Im port Dock from St. Domingo, with a cargo of mahogany, after a passage of 64 days. The voyage was performed under the most extraordinary circumstances, and is, we believe, unparalelled in the annals of navigation. The crew of the Whim, on leaving St. Domingo, consisted of five persons—viz., the captain, mate, two men, and a boy. Four days after sailing the mate, George Strutt, (unmarried, but the only support of a widowed mother,) caught a severe cold during a succession of tremendous gales, which pre vetted him from attending to his duty, and notwithstanding the usual remedies, which were kindly furnished by the captain, he gradually got worse, and on the twelfth day he expired. Next morning his body was consigned to a grave in the abyss of the ocean, the prayers for the dead having been previously read over it by the master. Captain Kerridge being thus deprived of the services of his chief officer, his duties were necessarily rendered doubly laborious and irksome ; but, unfortunately, he had soon to contend with greater hardships and privations. A few days after the death of the mate, one of the seamen, named Michael Shey, a native of Kinsale, Ireland, was attacked with a lingering disease, and being confined to his hammock in the forecastle, he was unable to perform any kind of duty. In tins state he has arrived with the vessel in the West India Import Dock. About the time of the mate's death the apprentice got also disabled, in consequence of a severe ulcerated leg, which made him unable to stand, and he, too, has been brought home an invalid, and it is feared amputation of the leg will become necessary to save his life. There was now only left the captain and one seaman, named John Lilly, to bring the schooner to England, a distance of nearly 4,000 miles! This they deemed a task almost im practicable ; but as their own lives, vessel and valuable cargo must be sacrificed if they did not persevere, Capt. Kerridge, and his only remaining seaman (Lilly), resolved on prosecut ing at all hazards the voyage. The weather was, at the ad vanced period of the season, unusually tempestuous, Capt. Kerridge stating that he never experienced such a continua tion of heavy gales, at times approaching to a hurricane. The foreyard and part of the schooner's sails were blown away during one of these tornados, and they were not replaced by others, the captain having to steer the vessel, and one man being incapable of making a refit of sails, &c. In this partly disabled state the voyage was continued, and Capt. Kerridge and Lilly, when almost worn out with fatigue, discried a ship at some distance from them, and on nearing each other Capt. Kerridge solicited from the master of the stranger vessel one of his crew to assist him, at the same time acquainting him with his distressed condition. Capt. K. was answered by the master that he also was short of his crew, and could not spare any of his men. captain Kerridge did not fall in with another vessel until he reached longitude 15 W. Having perceived a sail at a short distance, he hoisted a signal flag, and the ship, belong ing to St. John's, New Brunswick, and hound for Liverpool, immediately bore down upon him, and the captain kindly gave Captain Kerridge one of his crew. Thus manned, the Whim successfully accomplished the remainder of the voyage, and that notwithstanding having been exposed to the dis astrous gales. Strange to state, Captain Kerridge did not have a chro• 'er on board the Whim, and his arrival from St. Do ' all these extraordinary circumstances, is mingo, uncle alrnosi a miracle The schooner and her valuable cargo are, we understand, partly insured, and as the o wn e rs , underwriters, and others have been, by Captain Kerridge's unexampled courage and indomitable perseverance, as also that of Lilly the seamen, prevented from sustaining a heavy loss, it is to be hoped that such untiring zeal, suffering, and fatigue, will not be per mitted to go unrewarded. The above facts are specially deserving the kind consider ation of Lloyd's. TcIAMES TUNNEL.-A thoroughfare was yesterday effected in this work, and made use of for the first time by the whole of the directors and some of the original , subscribers, who had assembled on the occasion. The shield having been ad vanced to the shaft at Wapping:, a considerable opening was cut in the brickwork, and it was through this the party who had met at Rotherhithe were enabled to pass, thus opening the first subterranean communication between the opposite shores of the river. upon their arrival at the shaft the party were greeted by the workmen with most hearty cheers. A curious and interesting incident was connected with the event; a few bottles of wine, preserved since the dinner given on the occasion when the foundation stone was laid, with the understanding that it it was to be drunk only when it could be carried under the Thames, having been opened and enjoyed by the company to the health of her majesty and the infant prince. It was remarked too, as a singular coincidence, that a seal or: one of the corks bore the impress of the Prince of Wales's feathers, a circumstance that caused some merri ment. The engineer, SirJ. Brunel, appeared highly g ra tifi e d at the happy result of all his past anxiety and arduous labour. The shield will continue its advance until it has afforded space for the formation of the remainder of the tunnel, which is expected to be completed in about three weeks.-- Times of Thursday. His royal highness the infant Duke of Cornwall is the first heir-apparent to the British throne who has been born free of the city of London. His illustrious father having been some time since admitted a freeman of the Goldsmiths' Company, the young prince obtains his freedom by patri mony, and being of full age at his birth, may take up his livery at any time on paying his fees.—Globe. SUDDEN DEATH.—On Tuesday last, Stephen Darby, Esq., a retired gentleman, was found dead in one of the rail way carriages, from London to Maidenhead. He was no ticed by the guard at one of the stations, but was supposed to be merely in a deep sleep. We are happy to find that it is intended to appoi n t an 1 1th company in every regiment in India and in China, immediately the consent of the Court of Directors has been obtained. The necessity of this measure has been s t rong l y i mpressed on the Court by the authorities of the Horse Guards. —Naval a4d Military Gazette. RADICAL LOYALTY.—The Welshman, of Saturday last, says :—" Since last Lord Mayor's-day, the press has been playing at make-belief, and has not left off yet. The papers, diurnal, nocturnal, and hebdomedal, like banquetting tables, have actually reeled under the weight of royalty with which the have •been loaded—the columns of our contemporaries have teemed with small talk about our young and lovely Queen' (whose loveliness by the way is rather apochryphai) and the new-bor❑ prince —the infant, who by a miracle of Constitutional wisdom, became of age the moment he was born i" The sneer at Queen Victoria is very manly cer tainly ; and we believe there is only one Welshman in the Principality who would indulge in such rascality. MELZNCIIOLY ACCIDENT AND Loss OF LIFE.—An accident occurred at the entrance of our harbour on the fore noon of Saturday last, which, we regret to say, terminated in the loss of two lives. The revenue cutter Eliza, was in the bay, and the captain and three of the hands had been ashore on some business matters. On attempting to return to the vessel, and going out nearly as far as the heads, the swell running high, and the vessel being some distance off, they judged it prudent to return ; and were, accordingly, maki ng the best of their way to the harbour, when, ju s t a t th e pier head, a heavy sea struck the boat, which caused her to swamp, and all on board were precipitated into the water. Unfortu nately no assistance was at hand, only a solitary boy being on the pier -head at the time, who seeing the accident, and being called on, ran for assistance, but before any aid could be rendered, two of the hands had sunk to rise no more, and Capt. Boling himself was, with difficulty, rescued, and for some time after, faint hopes were entertained of his recovery. Another seaman was also rescued.—Manx Liberal. TUE GREAT WILL CASE.—The great will case of Malone v. O'Connor and others, which has excited so much public interest during the last six years, has, it is said, been at length compromised in the following manner:—The plaintiff gives up all claim to the estates of the late right hon. Anthony Malone, and in consideration thereof receives a sum of £6OOO, and £4OO per annum, each party paying their own costs. The estates which the plaintiff has thus renounced all title to are estimated at over £ll,OOO a-year. The property, however, is likely to be further litigated, as another party, also named John Malone, has filed a bill in Chancery, to dis possess the defendants ; so that the harvest for the lawyers is not yet over. MELANCIIOLY CASE. —An inquest was held at the Coro ner's-office, Rotherham, on Wednesday, on view of the body of William Swift, of Rotherham, aged 27 years, who was accidentally shot, on Tuesday night, in the park of Lord Howard of Barbot-hall, with a gun with which he was about to shoot a dog. His lordship had given orders to one of his servants, who was in possession of a dog, to get quit of him ; and he, not Uing to destroy the animal himself, sent for the deceased, OR was passing through the park on Tuesday evening, provided with a gun for the purpose of shooting him. The groom was with the deceased at the time ; and on their way a dog belonging to his lordship flew at the de ceased, who struck at the dog with the barrel of the gun, which was not upon the cock at the time. He missed the dog, but the percussion cap strikin g the ground the ch arge exploded, an d th e s h o t entere d t h e le ft breast of the deceased, and penetrated the heart. Instant death was the conse quence. Verdict of the jury, " Accidental death." We understand that Lord Howard has evinced his concern at the fatal occurrence, by kindly visiting and relieving the wid ow of the dec ease d ; at the same time giving orders that she should not be allowed to want for anything,—Shejfield 1111. been within a few days reported at great length in this paper, upon the occasion of the discussion upon a motion in arrest of judgment. The general ground upon which that motion rested was, that the paper Which co n tained the alleged libel was not . in fact libellous at all, and contained no direct charge of any kind against the plaintiff himself. Lord PENMAN, in delivering the judgment of the court, adverted to the several topics which had been used in the discussion, but went on to observe, that it, was unnecessary for the court to enter into any consideration of their re spective merits upon the present occasion, as there was an independent ground upon which the court was of opinion that the rule for arresting the judgment ought to be made absolute. The court had all along doubted whether any im- putation against Mr. Hearne was contained in the paper, but if there were, it only related to his conduct as a Catholic .priest in regard to the administration of the sacrament, or the imposition of penance upon a member of his congrega tion, and it was perfectly impossible for the court to take any judicial cognizance, or to have any judicial information as to the plaintiff's duty in respect to that subject. It had been contended in the argument, that the want of any suffi cient allegation upon this point was caused by the evidence which had been given at the trial, and which was to the effect that the particular statements in the libel were such, that if the plaintiff had acted in the manner there imputed to him, he would incur the displeasure of his ecclesiastical superiors, and be exposed even to the loss of the temporal advantages which he derived from his office. But to this it had been properly answered, that no evidence could establish that which was not in issue upon the trial, and, indeed, the evi dence referred to appeared to be inadmissible, upon this very ground, that it was irrelevant to the subject which had been made the subject of controversy upon the record. The same observation was a sufficient answer to the argument that the defective allegation in the declaration was cured by the verdict. It was not enough to allege in such casas malice upon the part of the defendant, and to prove injurious con sequences to the plaintiff. A libel must be expressly alleged upon the-record, before this Court could order a judgment to be entered up. The consequences of a' contrary practice would be extremely injurious to the public, Words pro— nounced with the most innocent intention may cause the greatest injury to an individual, and the most malicious in clination of a libeller may be disappointed by the result. If the Court were to dispense with the necessity of having a libel upon the record in order to supportthe judgment, any words, however general, coupled with a charge of a ma;ici ous intention, would be rendered libellous, it it should be shown as a matter of fact that they had been followed by in jurious consequences to the plaintiff. For these reasons the Court was of opinion that the rule must he made absolute for arresting the judgment. Upon the subject of granting a new trial, Lord Denman observed that as the defendant at the trial had not taken advantage of the defects of the de claration, but merely depended upon the bona fides with which the statement was made, and even persevered in as serting that he believed the statement to be true, he had by such conduct disentitled himself to obtaining the new trial which he had applied for. The present judgment would be therefore arrested, and there would be no new trial of the ease. TOUTRIt.iIdIVAL. US PHE BENEFIT U 1 311 1-PC3M. Play of The Tragedy of CORIOLA.NUS—TiIe MONEY—Mr. W. J.

TUESDAY MORNING, NOVEMBER 30, 18 We may have appeared to our readers occasion to have gone out of our way to remark upon the portance of the question of IMMIGRATION as applied to our West India colonies ; and we have repeatedly, for doing so, been met with the taunts of that portion of the press which is opposed to us, as being " the es pecial advocates " of the interests of those colonies. Would that we really deserved the imputation ! We can see nothing which is disgraceful—nothing which can be regarded as other than praiseworthy—in having stood forward, at all times and with all our humble powers, to protect the interests and to advance the growth of those noble possessions, in whose prosperity is embarked the liberties of millions of the human race; but, on the contrary, we should regard it as our proudest boast if we could say that any effort of ours has contributed to call attention to the wants under which they are at present languishing, and in the sup ply of which the cause of humanity and freedom is so deeply interested. Entertaining these views, it is gratifying to us to ob. serve that this subject, the immigration of free labour. ers into our tropical colonies, has at length begun tc attract, from our brethren of the Contervative press, the notice which it so eminently deserves. The illorn• ing Herald of Thursday last, in the course of a lo and able article, which we regret we have not space give entire, enters fully into the question as :one wa _ _ of the serious consideration of the legislature, confirms strongly the opinions respecting it which fro time to time we have felt it our duty to lay before o readers and the public. Repudiating, as we have ev done, the audacity with which the late unprincipled ad ministration proposed the introduction into Great Bri tain of the slave-raised sugar of Cuba and the Brazils, to appease the clamorous outcry of a faction of free traders and to gratify the hoarded malice entertained against colonial interests by a busy knot of pseudo philanthropists, our contemporary has, we think, clearly and conclusively shown that it is within the power of government,—by a wise and well-regulated encourage ment of the desire recently developed amongst the free negro population of the United States and of Sierra Leone, to emigrate to our West Indian islands, and pecially to Guiana and Trinidad,—to provide for t country a more than adequate supply of tropical pro ducts at a reasonable price and raised by free labour and at the same time to render those possessions of in finite value as consumers of the products of the mother country To one portion of our contemporory's remarks we cannot resist calling the attention of those advocates of the cause of negro emancipation, (of whom that emi nent anti-corn law and anti-slavery oracle, Mr. Joseph Sturge, is the most prominent,) who, whilst in their zeal for the interest of the slave they would even incur the risk of embroiling us with the slaveholding states of the American union, would gladly witness the with. drawal of that legislative protection by which alone, until provided with a measure of immigration, the free labour colonies of Great Britain are enabled to maintain themselves amidst the difficulties by which they are surrounded. " As an inducement," observes the Herald, " for the immigration of the degraded free blacks of the Union, Government might, we think, at once safely en courage the voluntary removal of the 15,000 negroes who are now inhabitants of Canada, where they add very little to the development of the resources, and where, we fear, they are only less uncomfortable than they were in the slavery of the republic, from which for the most part they have escaped. The contented and happy settlement of these Canadian blacks in Tri nidad and Guiana would greatly encourage the migra tion of their brethren, now degraded residents in the United States, to these colonies. The coloured popu lation of the republic watches with eager interest the progress of emancipation in the West Indies, and the great obstacle to a general emigration thither of several hundreds of thousands is an apprehension —not wholly unwarranted by past events, and greatly augmented by slander and maudlin sentimentality, but which will ra pidly be dispelled by good works—as to the course of conduct which the planters will pursue towards them. A class of proprietors with better feelings, and imbued with a knowledge of their wants and their duties, is rapidly springing up in our west Indian islands, and from it we anticipate a future period of unexampled prosperity, —present difficulties being overcome. To it we commend the cultivation of immigration from the United States." From a journal which has ever been foremost in the advocacy of enlightened humanity, as has the Morning Herald, such a declaration in favour of the policy of encouraging immigration will, we are confident, have its proper weight upon the honest and reflecting por tion of the anti-slavery party itself, accustomed as they are to look with an eye of jealousy upon every proceed ing of the planters of our colonies, and occasionally to confound colonial interests with that slavery itself which they have succeeded in putting down. Let them weigh well the fact which it discloses. The liberty and happiness of two millions of enslaved human beings in the United States—in that land to which the hand of " Liberalism " ever points as its " pattern repub lic"—the happiness too of millions to whom as yet the horrors of the middle passage, the fettered limb and the chained soul, are things *unknown are dependent upon the issue of the attempt which is at present being made to raise the products of the tropics • by free labour; and can we contemplate the failure of that attempt—which must dash to the earth those excited hopes and annihilate every reasonable anticipation of the permanent security and freedom of the entire negro pain and bitter disappoint race —without feelings of With respect to immigration from the coast of Africa itself, and to the effect upon AFRICAN CIVILIZATION and upon the AFRICAN SLAVE TRADE which might result from the establishment there of a well-regulated system for its encouragement, the remarks of our con temporary are equally just, and contrast strongly with those upon the same subject which appear in the city article of the limes of the same date, whose attention t tiugtiim at immivation A vary tinvrioroug think, prof ilia fear lest by tho encouragement of Lion of lave trade" In the few remarks which we offered upon the occa sion of the decease of the late Mr. Egerton Smith, we were careful to abstain from expressing any opinion which could bring under discussion, at such a moment, the political character of the deceased. We were far, however, from anticipating, on the part of the admirers of that gentleman, and particularly on that of the. con ductors of the Liverpool Mercury, the adoption of a similar course; and we have no complaint, therefore, to make of the substance of the long and highly co loured panegyric which appeared on Friday in the co lumns of our contemporary, however dubious we may be with respect to its propriety and good taste. We are not willing, however, to permit the editor of the Mercury, or the " Friend" who executed the clumsy daub which is intended as the portrait of Mr. Smith, to mingle slander against the living with his fulsome laudation of the dead. Canonize, deify, if he will, the object of his admiration; but why rake up in our me mory and in that of the public forgotten falsehoods, which, having served their unworthy purposes, ought to have been allowed to sleep with him for whom or by whom they were invented. The slander to which we allude is contained in the following quotations, which we need scarcely charac terise as unworthy and contemptible in expression and in spirit. "The West Indian Interest "—writes this panegyrist of the deceased—" the West Indian or slave-owning interest requited the noble exertions of our lamented friend in this (the anti-slavery) cause, by attempting the ruin of his business." And again— " He certainly forfeited the regard of men who declared their longing to devour the heart of Wilberforce, and actually attempted to assassinate Clarkson." We need scarcely proclaim the deliberate falsehood of these abominable imputations upon the character of a portion of our fellow-townsmen; and shall only ask of our readers and the public, what can they think of the de cency of an individual or a party who can descend to cloak the utterance of their rancorous malignity against the living under the hypocritical pretence of respectful affection for the dead ? How ineffably dis gusting is the mawkish sentimentality which fills up the remainder of this tribute (!) of love, when it is placed side by side with these vulgar outbreaks of the rank and lying spirit which animated the heart of the writer, and which not even the mournful occasion upon which they were uttered was able to control ! The anti-corn-law empirics have discovered a new remedy for the evils of thd times, and we dare say are quite prepared to puff their nostrum, and placard the walls with a most fascinating history of the marvellous cures which shall hereafter be effected by it—and other wise, and in every possible way, convert it into an in strument of agitation. The new remedy is simple, and if it were safe to use, doubless of extraordinary efficacy; t consists in merely relaxing the " money screw ;" and, is want of demand arises (in their view) solely front want of the money to purchase—augmenting the cir culating medium in proportion to the stocks of goo& manufactured, or unsold, buyers and sellers must be wrought together by some means ; and if the mountain won't go to Mahomet, Mahomet must be brought, by some means, to the mountain. A London contemporary, in discussing this interest ing, proposition, commends the propounders, who are certain associators of Birmingham, for their prudence in dropping all allusion to the corn laws, and professes desire to meet them on the inquiry in a friendly spirit. A. season of public calamity, or even one in which a riore than ordinary measure of privation has befallen a )ortion of the community, is certainly one in which nuch forbearance ought to be extended to parties who, a an honest spirit, and with a pure desire to contribute 0 the good of their country, suggest what they con :eive to be remedies for existing misfortunes ; but it is , - - me also in which we ought to be especially upon our ;uard against those who, in proffering their cures for he body politic, give us reason strongly to suspect that hey are only actuated by selfish or factious motives. Ye should like to know, in the first place, if those Bir ❑ingham doctors who now assure us that all our em iarrassments would be removed by a liberal enlarge aent of our paper currency, are not the same who a hart time since insisted, and who still in some other hape, or under some other name maintain, that the orn laws are the monster grievance of the land ? And this be the case, with the best possible disposition, ay the most Christian patience towards our volunteer hysicians, what degree of faith can we possibly repose the new recipe, so far as esteem for the adviser, and at the advice, is to go for any thing ? That they are ae and the same party, we need not to be told; we ace their identity at once in the pious horror which, rider whatever name they give themselves, they inva ably evince at the words " over-trading" or " over )pulation." "'The doctrine of over-trading," say " is a dangerous and cruel fallacy, and when coupled, as it generally is, with that of :Over-popula tion,' is a most dishonest and disgraceful absurdity." Fine words, truly, and pungent exceedingly! but words which, however full of " sound and fury," signifying absolutely " nothing" against that array of evidence vhich can, with the utmost ease, be brought forward o convict some of the noisiest of the grievance-tnongers , f the authorship of tiloss facts whose existence they ,ow deny in such terms of indignation. Nothing can ,e more unwelcome, unquestionably, than to be told our own faults at the very moment that we are open g out against wh.it we hold to be the vices of others.. he memory of journalists is particularly inconvenient ornetimes to these great reformers of other people,. nd of every thing under heaven but themselves. We. Lave ourselves taken occasion to give them a jog when. re found them romancing at some insufferable rate of xtravagance, and we should hope that the admonition as been found useful. Our example was well followed p a short time since by our contemporary the Shef eld Mercury. At the anti-corn-law meeting held in that town, the main points relied upon were, that the depression of the Sheffield trade arose from German and American competition, and that a greatly-increased quantity of cutlery would be sold to the Americans, if we would but take their corn in exchange. On this occasion our contemporary wielded the argumentain ad kominem with what we should anticipate to have been good effect. 4 As respects the havcc made in our trade by foreign com petition" he observes, " is it quite clear that we have not in some . instances created, and in others strengthened and rendered more powerful the rivalry of which we complain ? A good deal is said about the scissor trade. Has not that trade been grievously injured by the manufacture of virgin steel scissors,' the base quality of which rendered any c oin _ petition, how ever s l ugg i s h an d c l u msy, comparatively suc cessful ? Competition in price is much snore easy than competition in quality ; and if scissors sent from this town had always been equal in quality to what they were in appe al . ance, the scissor trade would have been a less easy prey to German competition. And then Mr. Ibbotson ad m i tted the existence of an element in the question which w en t f ar to annihilate hi s argum ent —the difference in the habit s o f the German arti sans as compared with those of the English. Too little notice is taken of this fact ; be it to our advantage or not, there can be neither honesty nor use in keeping it in the back ground. Mr. Ibbotson's allusions to the axe trade and the saw trade, as two branches which have left or are leaving our shores. were extremely unfortunate. The Germans, says Mr. Ibbotson, supplant us because of price, and the Ameri cans are making saws and axes for themselves. And do the Americans beat us out of the market by underselling us ?* the inference deducible from Mr. Ibbotson's speech would, be to that effect, although the speaker neither made, nor could, n c l ( lo t se be Ehe intend to make , any such assert i on . Th e A mericansm. an very ax ex es pe f r a i i e l n ed ced the A m m i e i r i ic t a h n e: Ilsaitiligu.faetAure7jaaxiles ca because nerchant, without . knowi ng t h at axes were exported from the, le i g hbourhood of Bi rmino'liam—some with ou t a p ar ti c l e o f s teel in them, and others with a wafer ofsteel - rascally ni ierted, ' just enough to swear by.' Were these fit tools to. immigration from the coast of Africa " a new descrip should he created; and with a jealousy worthy only of . an Old Bailey attorney, sug gests that, "by adroit management, there might he but little difference in the state of the colonies from that from which they have recently and at immense cost been emancipated." Our contemporary's fears are really, we think, a little overstrained. The planters in our West Indian colonies are perfectly ready to submit to any degree of supervision, by the home government, of their internal arrangements and the condition of their labourers; and the correspondence relating to the subject of immigration from Sierra Leone, copied in the same article by our contemporary, and from which, by the bye, we quoted the most material portion in our publication of the 9th instant, ought to have satisfied him that, externally, no crimping, no unworthy induce ments of any description, are required to promote the object which the planters have in view, and which we think no sincere friend to the interests of the negro race is justified in attempting to decry. pleas a mg— the ex th e sti and ti be the With it obser y the m, ] the ye; "It. detnani comm o Peopl e , and re wheltni the co, than tc Ive sha nufacti keep E .
