By a few constitu encies Whigs will walk in unopposed, where Con servatives, before their too general apostacy, were certain of election. In short, throughout the country, the men hitherto the most energetic workers in election matters, refuse to stir, disgusted with the disappointment which has followed their past efforts, and evidently impressed with the con viction that there is no faith to be placed in the professions or the promises of statesmen. We have to lair :nt this feeling as existing to >wn borough ; and it develop- went threat ) dama severely the character of its constituency for` undeviating protestant and constitutional consistency. Not later than last week we confidently trusted, and expressed our heartfelt gratification, that Liverpool would still be enabled to emerge triumphantly from the efforts which "liberalism" has for years making to possess itself of—the representation of this loyal borough. The unanimous resolve of the leaders of the constitutional and Protestant party to support their present tried and respected member, Sir Howard Douglas, with Sir Digby Mackworth as his colleague, afforded almost unlimited satisfaction to the great majority of the constituency. We have to-day, however, to record, and to lament over, a step—the introduction of a third candidate, in the person of Lord John Manners, who must rely upon the church and constitutional party for support, and hence divide and weaken that party—which materially alters our prospects, and which, if per severed in, will inevitably result in defeat and disaster, which every true friend of the good old town must sincerely deplore. We know not who are the moving parties in this matter—who were the deputation to Lord John Manners, or who are his leading supporters in the attempt, to which he has been so injudiciously invited, to divide and weaken the Conservative strength of this constituency. We know as little what are his claims upon Liverpool, in especial, be yond his talent, his amiability, his eloquence, and his excellent moral character, which none deny him to be possessed of, He is in favour of the main tenance of the Navigation Laws : so is our old and tried member, Sir Howard Douglas, and so is Sir Digby Mackworth. He is an advocate for protec tion to the colonies, the commerce, and the native industry of the empire : equally so are both these gentlemen, He is an ardent supporter of the blished Church of England, and of the insti country, as by law established : so Howard Douglas ; so is Sir 'Digby Mack- But here we must stop. In matters con ith the Constitution, and the Church of Iblished by the Reformation, the utions of ti is Sir nected England parties are no longer on a parallel. We ask, then, which of the candidates already before the public is it that Lord John Manners is brought forward to oppose, a,nd on what particular questions ? If it is to oppose the two Conservative candidates, it cannot be upon the question of the Navigation Laws, or protection to the colonial, com mercial, or industrial interests of the empire.

THE LIVERPOOL STANDARD. THE CROPS AND THE WEATHER The most gratifying accounts have appeared in the papers during the past week of the unusually rapid pro gress of vegetation, and, with scarcely one exception, of the health and luxuriance of the whole of the crops, throughout England, Scotland, and Ireland, and we may add, Europe. We can vouch for the fact, too, that our own immediate agricultural districts are resplendent with all that in verdure or bloom can gratify the eye, or give promise of an abundant return to the husbandman and horticulturist. The weather has been generally sultry, and seldom under the temperature of summer heat, with genial and repeated showers of rain, which, with the in tervening ardent sunshine, have amazingly promoted the rapid growth and strength of vegetation in field and garden. The landscape, wherever the eye is directed, presents a charming picture, even the lane sides and ditches being adorned in profusion with herbage, and wild flowers, and plants, of a height and strength rarely witnessed. _ _ _ , . . A great portion of the hay has already been got in, in excellent condition, and the crop generally is heavy, and of fine quality. The haymakers are still busily at work, and their final labours will be on the cold-bottomed fields where the grass is not yet quite ripe for the scythe. The stacks will be large, and the price of the article will no doubt drop. The wheats are advanced in ear, and the plant of extraordinary height and strength. Ve have also seen some splendid fields of oats, surpassing indeed any we remember to have seen.

MEMORIAL TO GOVERNMENT OF THE INHABITANTS OF BIRKENHEAD. A memorial to the Commissioners of the Woods and Forests, praying them to give consent to the bills now before the Lords, was sent up yesterday for presentation by the members of the county. It was signed by 6000 signatures, being the greatest number of names ever at tached to a similar document from that place : and will be followed up by a similar petition to the House of Lords praying them to pass the bill : The humble Petition of the undersigned Inhabitants of Birken head, Claughton, Oxton, Tranmere,. Bidston, Seacombe, Liscard, and Wallasey, in the county f Chester, Sh meth, That a Bill is now pending before your Right Honourable House, intituled "A Bill to authorize the Birkenhead Dock Commissioners to construct an additional Dock and other Works at Birkenhead, and for other purposes " That, in the opinion of your Petitioners, the establishment of Docks at Birkenhead will prove of the utmost importance to the commerce of the river Mersey, and the interest of Birken head and the surronnding districts. • That your petitioners hailed with much satisfaction the open ing by the Chief Commissioner of her Majesty's Woods, &c., of a portion of the Dock Works connected with Birkenhead. That your Petitioners quite approve of the steps taken by the Birkenhead Dock Commissioners in their application to Par liament in the present session for the above-mentioned Bill. That, in the opinion of your Petitioners, the Dock sought to be authorized by that Bill, will be of great advantage to the Town and Trade of Birkenhead and the surrounding districts; and the immediate establishment of Graving Docks will be a considerable accommonation to the Trade of the Mersey. That your Petitioners observed with satisfaction the Report of the Lords of the Admiralty to Parliament, in favour of the passing of the above mentioned Bill. That independent of the importance it is to the Works at Bir kenhead, that the New Dock and Graving Docks referred to in the Bill should be constructed, there are numerous clauses in the said Bill very essential to the economical and expeditious carrying on of the Trade which may frequent the Docks. Your Petitioners, therefore, humbly pray your Right Honour able House that the said Bill may pass into a Law. And your Petitioners will ever pray, &c. NOVELTIES.-A broad-faced good-natured looking Hibernian was yesterday brought up and charged by one of those officious persons commonly known as police offi cers with having done a little more than " swell the cork" on the day previously.

Murillo and the other members of the last Cabinet had addressed a letter to the Correo, in which they declared that, to their knowledge, the King had never manifested any wish to be invested with the superior direction of the royal patrimony and the interior of the palace. Messrs. Mon, Pidal, Sanz, and Caneja, on their side, had written a similar letter to the Faro, in which they affirmed that, under their Ministry, the King had never claimed the government of the palace, nor the administration of the royal revenues. The Heraldo announces that the ministry had opposed an invincible resistance to the mar riage of the Infanta Josefa with General Portillo, and that Count Ezpeleta was to be charged with the education of the minor children of the Infante Donna Francisco de Paula. The journal La Union had ceased to appear. Since the foregoing was in type, the Madrid letters and journals of the sth instant have reached us. The Madrid Gazette of that date contains a royal de cree for the complete renewal of the provincial deputa tions. The elections are to take place in conformity with the law of the Bth of January, 1845. Some curiosity has been excited at Madrid by the de parture of the Progresista deputy and freetrader, Don Sanchez Silva, for Saragossa, the bearer, it was said, of a communication of importance from General Serrano to Senor Cllozaga, who is at present at Saragossa. The Three per Cents. closed on the sth inst. at 271 cash ; the Five per Cents. at 17k ; Passives, 5a ; and the Coupons, 13 cash. ALGIERS Letters from Algiers of the 2nd inst., state that Abd el-Kader, after his success over the troops of Abderrhman, had occupied various points on the Riff, in order to secure his communications by land with the interior of Morocco and by sea with the exterior. The agitation in the coun try was very great. Abd-el-Kader had received consider able reinforcements, and neither wanted arms nor ammu nition. " England," says one of those letters, " cannot be entirely a stranger to what is now passing in Morocco. Once that Abd-el-Kader shall be seated on the throne of Abderrahman, English influence will be all powerful in Morocco. This is beyond doubt, and then will the peace of our new colony be sadly compromised." HOUSE OF COMMONS—SATunnAI The house met at twelve o'clock. The report of the Committee of Supply was brought up, and agreed to. On the report of the Navigation (No. 2) Bill being brought up, Lord J. MANNERS proposed to insert a clause for the purpose of suspending the stamp duties on policies of in surance effected on grain-laden ships till the Ist of March, 1848. The CHANCELLOR of the EXCHEQUER observed, that the clause could not be agreed to, because, from its nature, it required to be moved in a committee of the whole house ; and in that opinion he was confirmed by the authority of the SPEAKER. _ _ . Some conversation then took place on the clause, in which Mr. HUME, Mr. FORSTEE, Mr. THORNELY, and Lord J. MANNERS took part ; but it was ultimately with drawn, and the report agreed to. The house then went into committee on the Recovery of Public Moneys (Ireland) Bill; and in the committee a lively discussion arose in consequence of Lord CLEMENTS telling the government that it ought not to ask Ireland for any repayment of the money recently advanced to that country, and of his denouncing the whole of our recent Irish legislation as having been in the highest degree un just and unfair. So unexpected an announcement roused the indignation of Mr. Hume, Mr. P. Scrope, and Sir J. Graham, who all insisted that the repayment of the money advanced to Ireland must be demanded from the landlords of that country. Sir J. Graham moreover added, that it was ex ceedingly desirable that, before the house separated, a distinct intimation should be given that the repayment would be enforced in all cases where it was possible. This declaration excited the spleen of Lord Clements still more, and his lordship, after condemning the conduct of the legislature and the government in the most violent terms, observed that the house could not in decency pass such a bill. If an attempt were made to do in England that which the government had not scrupled to do in Ire land, Ministers would be hurried from their seats by the indignation of the country. The CHANCELLOR of the EXCHEQUER could not suffi ciently express the regret and astonishment with which he had listened to the speeches of Lord Clements. When the pressure of the calamity was most severely felt, the landlords of Ireland said,—" Tax us as much as you will, but for God's sake, save the people from starvation!" The Government had responded to that call, and had saved the people. The very bill which Lord Clements now opposed was introduced for the purpose of freeing Ireland from the incumbrance of one-half the loan granted by the legisla ture for the relief of the distresses of the people ; and, if it were rejected, Ireland would, in point of fact, be charged with the repayment of the whole. He concurred with Sir J. Graham in thinking that it was not too much to expect that one-half of the loan should be repaid; and he now gave distinct notice, that the repayment of that sum would be enforced according to circumstances, and where it seemed just. The repayment, instead of being demanded at once; was spread over a period of ten years, and the I first instalment would not become due till this time next spend money, easy to lend money, and still easier to give away money in Ireland; but he trusted that the good feeling of the population of Ireland would render the re nqum.nt of it. much easier than Lord Clements sunnosed. still greater novelty was in store for him,—that was to pay payment, v. ...nu,. 55. - or suffer five days' imprisonment.

When leaving the pier-head for Douglas, her bow got foul of an American ship's rigging, which was then lying in the river, having just come out of dock. In the colli sion the Tynwald lost her bowsprit and some trifling por tions of her forward rigging, but nothing so dangerous occurred as to prevent her proceeding on her voyage with out the least delay. We have been requested to state that, from the recent accident which occurred to this boat, no such damage ensued as that stated in a contem porary,—the ship's bottom was neither broken nor other wise injured. COMMITMENTS.—Patrick Flyn and John Lancashire, yesterday committed from the Police-court, for 14 days, for stealing a bar of pig iron from the Queen's Dock.— Bidy M'Guiness was also committed for a month for stealing a loaf from the shop of Robert Howe.—Thos.

IMPOSITION ON THE PARISH.—A woman named Kelly was brought up before Mr. Rushton, and charged by Mr. Reynolds with attempting to commit a fraud on the parish authorities. He state' to Dr. Cullan. lei'. disease He charged Lord Clements with endeavouring to create in the bosoms of his countrymen feelings of hatred to wards Great Britain which were perfectly unjustifiable. Mr. BROTIIERTON followed on the same side, and ob served, that if our exertions to relieve the distress of Ire land were to be met in the spirit of Lord Clements, a very strong feeling against any further advances to Ire land would be excited in England. After a few words from Mr. TRELAWNY, retracting his expression respecting " the sale" of Irish landlords, Sir F. FERGUSON observed that, as an Irish landlord, he entertained no doubt but that Ireland would acknowledge her liabilities, and that there would be no reason to regret the liberality which England had displayed. _ The Earl of ARUNDEL and bURREY COMu not uuu IceL that the language of Lord Clements was not that which England deserved to have applied to her generosity. But Lord Clements was not the only person who held up the Government to reproof for its conduct towards Ireland. Several of the Roman Catholic clergy of that country had given utterance on this subject to expressions which he could not but view as uncharitable an unchristianlike. Mr. W.

(BY EXPRESS.) THE DUKE OF CORNWALL, STEAMER, ON SHORE.--. The Duke of Cornwall, steamer, from London for Fal mouth and Dublin, got on shore on Sunday morning at four o'clock in Gerrans Bay, near the Gull Rock. The mate was dispatched to the agents for assistance to get, her off, and a lighter was immediately sent. LONDON CORN MARKET, YESTERDAY, At the close of last week wheat met with an increased demand at an advance of 3s. per qr., and large transactions reported. The weather has become most splendid for the growing crops, notwithstanding which our market opened this morning with good spirit, and English wheat soon cleared at an advance of 4s. to ss. per qr. over the currency of this day week. A large attendance of country buyers caused a considerable business to be done in foreign at the improvement noted on Friday —say 2s. to 3s. dearer than last Monday. American flour fully Is. per barrel higher. Grinding Barley in better request. No change in Malt or Peas. English Beans in short supply, at an advance of 2s. The supplies of foreign Oats being but moderate, and having an increased country demand, this article obtained fully 6d. to Is. advance on last week's quotations, with an improved sale. SMITHFIELD CATTLE MARKET, YESTERDAY There was,.compared with that exhibited on Monday last, a considerable increase to-day in the number of home-fed Beasts on sale, owing to which, and the prevailing hot weather, the Beef trade was in a very inactive state, at a decline on the quotations obtained on this day se'nnight of quite 2d. per 81b. The numbers of Sheep were considerably on the increase, hence the Mutton trade was extremely depressed, and the currencies declined from 2d. to 4d. per 81b. With Lambs we were well supplied. All breeds met a very dull inquiry, at a reduction in value of 2d. per 81b. ; the ex treme range of value of the best Down qualities not exceeding 6s. per 81b. The sale for Calves, the supply of which was small, ruled heavy at last week's figures. Pigs moved off slowly, but prices were mostly supported, Mr. Jessop, of Mount Jessop, high sheriff of the county of Longford, intends to resign that office preparatory to starting for the representation as a red-hot repealer. LONDON, SATURDAY EVENING.—ID railway shares there was not much busiuess done, the early closing of the market interfering in a degree with the ordinary course of affairs, but prices nevertheless show an increasing tendency towards depression. THE LAST MAIL ' COACH.—The north mail coach ar rived at the Queen's Head Inn, in this town, yesterday (Monday) afternoon, for the last time, having being su perseded by the railway, now complete.

MALDON.—On Tuesday last Mr. Lennard made his first appearance at Maldon as one of the candidates at the ensuing election. Messrs. Dick and Waddington have canvassed the town, and met with such success as to con vince them that their success is certain. They are still canvassing, and are determined to pay their personal re spects to every voter within the seven miles.—Essex Standard. THE NEW FACTORY ACT.—So far as we can learn, no• attempt has been made by any of the manufacturers of this town to reduce the wages. of their hands in conse quence of the new act, limiting the hours of employing young persons and women to not more than eleven hours per day, having come into operation. This is a gratifify mg circumstance, and is as honourable to the employers as it is satisfactory to the work-people.—Leeds Intel& gencer. PLUNDERING OF GRAIN ON THE IRISH COAST.--• Letters received from Westport and Sligo, dated Thuri day, state respectively that the Ranger, from Liverpool, had been plundered of 150 barrels of Indian meal, and that the ship Richard Watson, from New York, had been boarded and robbed of 1,000 bushels of corn. Govern ment ought to suppress these depredations, which are carried on to a most serious and frequent extent on the coast of the sister island. PRINCE WALDEMAR.—OR Saturday the East India Company gave a most sumptuous entertainment to Prince Waldemar, of Prussia, at the London Tavern. The en tertainment was most splendid. The chairman of the East India Company presided, surrounded by many distinguished personages, including Lord John Russell, and other mi nisters and noblemen, British and foreign. Many elo quent and appropriate speeches were delivered, and the whole went off with the greatest eclat. _ _ _ _ ' It appears that Mr. More O'Ferrall, not the least effi cient of the Irish members, has signified his intention of retiring from the representation of the county of Kildare. The Carlow Sentinel states, that Mr. C. Roberts, and not the Marquis of Kildare, will be a candidate, along with Mr. Bourke, jun., of Hayes, and Mr. Archbold, one of the present members. However, it is generally be lieved that Lord Kildare will stand for the county with the almost certainty of his election.

In consequence of a paragraph copied from a local print into most of the public papers, giving the name of Mr. Weston Cracroft as one of ten candidates talked of, that gentleman has published a letter stating that he never offerinr himself as a candidate. Some other names were also introduced with just as little foundation. BATH. - Mr. Roebuck and Lord Ashley are on the ground in hot competition.
