TO CORRESPONDENTS. In answer to several communications on the subject, we beg to say that the Standard will CONTINUE to be the unflinching advocate of those sound Constitutional Principles which have heretofore guided it—and which we earnestly believe to be those best calculated to secure TRUE Liberty, and the bless ings of our Protestant Religion. ONIEOA.—We cannot insert attacks upon private character. H. L.—His suggestion has been anticipated. X., Cheshire.--No. JUVENIS.—We feel obliged by his offer, but it was made too late, to be useful. We shall be happy at all times to receive communications on subjects of local or general interest ; and if our friends will be good enough to authenticate the same by their signa tures, for our own satisfaction, we shall feel obliged. Kiberpoot gitanbarb+ TUESDAY MORNING, JULY 15, 1851. THE LESSON OF TWENTY YEARS. AFTER twenty years of desperate struggle, the principle of TRUE CONSERVATISM—broadIy dis tinguished from that which Sir Robert Peel so named—is again on the eve of a signal and lasting triumph. Half a century of labour, intrigue, and factious overreaching, was required to bring the Radicals into place in 1831. There was no outbreak too seditious, no " movement" too selfish to find advocates amongst their leaders. To-day the tribunes of a plundering mob, to-morrow the pro tectors of a profligate Queen. Now appealing to the canaille of Spa Fields, and now flattering a Prince of Wales sufficiently despotic and dissipated for the decaying time of the Roman Empire. This upright party, its memories graced by the decency of Fox and sustained by the character of Sheridan, threw for office in 1830, and won the cast. The Reform Bill was a " Revolution," doubtless, as the Whigs declared it, but' as like the Revolution of 1688 as a Portuguese emeute is like the struggle of "Washington, or Saldanha like William 111. It is the only " Revolution" on record that never pro duced one great man. NIL Parkes, the Birmingham attorney, was made a taxing-master; and Plaice, the tailor, of Charing Cross, became an " Elector of Westminster," by which title they say he was received with royal honours at a German Court, the worthy Mynheers never supposing that an Elector of Westminster was an individual who earned a trifle by giving his vote under a heavy fire of turnips and dead cats in Covent Garden. These were the great results of the Reform Bill. Power once gained, the aristocratic leaders began to scramble for their places. The mobs that were to " march" attorney-led in the metropolis were con signed to the workhouse ; and to Henry Brougham, who alone took the Whig party from the kennel in which he found it, and raised it to power, they offered the office of Attorney-General. The Rus sells and the Lansdownes, and the Greys, were far too hungry. It had been a long fast since Fox's profligate coalition ; and a system of nepotism began, unrivalled even at the Court of Charles 11. The Radicals came in with a majority of more than three hundred votes. Satan, now grown wiser than before, Tempted by making rich, not making poor Their strength was their destruction. In five years after having their majority of three hundred, they were forced to sneak to Daniel O'Connell to assist them with a hired brigade of political Swiss. Brougham, to do him justice, " broke his wand, and quitted the camp." To hold office at the pleasure of the nominee of the vulgar and seditious Popish Priesthood of Ireland did not suit the spirit of the great opponent of Slavery. It was a fatal exchange—Brougham for O'Connell. From that hour the genius of Dan was upon them. Their measures must all be anti-Protestant, and their patronage all for Irish Papists, from the chief seat in Equity for a nominee of O'Connell to the lowest judgeship of Sierra Leone given to an orator of the Corn Exchange, with his funeral expenses paid in advance. The spirit of England revolted at this slavery ; and Sir Robert Peel, with profes sions that never cost him much, was ready for the flood that led to fortune." A wise man, the proverb says, may be deceived once, but it requires a fool to be deceived twice. The Conservatives of England must choose in which category the conduct of Peel has placed them. When, after repeated defeats and humiliations—after taking refuge in the pomp of a Royal marriage, and in the assistance of women of the bedchamber—the Radicals, as they could not marry the Queen twice, were compelled to resign, Sir Robert Peel came in with a great working majority. His professions were all that could be expected ; but neither he nor the Parlia ment had adopted any true steadfast principle. His tariffs assailed the poor working artizan by letting in, not the raw material, but the made-zap article ; and his legislation for Ireland was based on that folly that we hope and trust is gone for ever—the expectation of conciliating the daughters of the horse-leech who do the work of the Italian Pontiff in that country. We need hardly trace the humiliating story of the last Peel administration. If it is true that "the reputation of able men is the property of their country," we might give our property in the Peelites as a bargain. The evil that men do lives after them, and Sir Robert Peel has left of it a considerable legacy. The direct injury he did to British industry wise counsels may repair, and his scandalous concessions to Popery the returning vigilance of Protestants may easily resume. But he dragged with him public men not long raised to great position—men of whom there were high hopes, and in whom there was great trust—some that the Country Party looked to to hold the helm when the old generation had passed away—men Who, born to high emprise, For Britain's weal were early wise. And as the time is past for speaking in riddles, we must say that the political character of these men Peel has utterly destroyed. The great principles of Conservatism, however, he could not destroy. Like the familiars of the Inquisition, he forced from his followers a compelled conversion, and then aban doned them to their fate ; but principle outlived his treachery and their apostacy. The great doctrine of Conservatism, truly understood, has with various fortune, throughout the twenty years that are past, still kept alive and held its ground. The clergy, untainted by Roman follies, and a part (we regret to say only a part) of the press faithfully opposed the grant to Maynooth, the Dissenters' Chapels Bill, and the various other measures in which Sir Robert Peel seemed to riot in the abandonment of former opinions. The cause has had much to suffer, but has triumphed, Internal treachery and extraneous opposition, Malice domestic and foreign levy, we have beaten them all, and at length the nation is to be appealed to on grounds that the most obtuse can understand. Doubtless the time honoured tactics of Whiggery will not be forgotten. The sagacious reptile that makes the water muddy, that he may escape, has many imitators, and it will be attempted to blind the nation to the true matter now in question between the Country Party and those who are given to change—the persons who for ever exhibit to the eyes of discontent the ignis fatuus they please to call popular power. But bitter experience has taught men what, it is on which they have to decide. At length the contending parties in the State have come to some agreement as to their causes of difference. In the words of the lawyers, they have " cleared the issue." On one side we shall soon see arranged all those who advocate the two great doctrines which it becomes Englishmen to main tain—Protestant truth, and protection to labour. The first is not one whit more firmly founded on Christianity than the second, for the condemnation of him " who provideth not for his own house" is as clear as that of those who remain " partakers of the sins" of Babylon. On this issue, and on no other, must the battle be fought, and both states men and candidates ought to be prepared for the fact. The " wrath of man" has done great service to the cause of the truth ; and if the national mind of England has been roused, and her Reformed Faith asserted, it has been chiefly owing to the arrogance of the enemies of the Country and of the Church. But surely we are not to let the lesson of the last twenty years go by without improvement. Can we afford to follow questionable leaders, or to seek for guides among the professional apostates that made common cause with Peel ? Neither in Parliament nor in the press must this be done, or the disasters of 1846 will be again upon us. Those who went with the stream in '46 made their choice, and they cannot blame constituents if they leave them to it. Let us by all means not imitate the Whig, who said (as he wished) that history was an old almanac. We know who betrayed us, and if we trust them again, on whom is the blame ? To two things men at the hustings should be pledged —to resist the advances of the Popish heresy, and to give the English market back to English labour. And by pledging we do not mean the vulgar tender of a declaration to he swallowed and forgotten : let the candidate's previous life be the security of his future conduct, and as far as practicable let us avoid adventuring strangers. Converts to our opinions who are sincere deserve all credit, but for the best of such the post of honour is a private sta tion. The country party have too long encouraged people of this class. Whether through apathy or intention of the really honourable and earnest men of a party, noisy people get into prominent place, and we confess we do not think that having been in the Anti Corn Law League is the best qualification for aspiring to he in the Derby ministry. To vary the warning of Brabantes : They have deceived their party, and may you. If within our sphere a mistake such as we point out be made by a constituency, it will not have been done before the LIVERPOOL STANDARD has warned them. The struggle is imminent, and we have not the slightest fear for the result; but this is an argument not for negligence but for activity. Those whom we have to meet have infinitely more at stake than we have in the contest—their very existence even as a faction in England. They have shown themselves to be prepared for any course, and anxious to obtain any kind of assistance, by their abandonment of all previous professions to advocate the cause of Popish dCmination, and by consequence of absolute power. The duty of the Country Party however is not at all obscure. To restore what has been recklessly destroyed and to protect what still remains. In the words of the Roman Captain, Hic optime rnanebinzus THE BISHOPS' REVENUES EVERY new event corroborates our opinion that Churchmen must take seriously in hand the reform ation of Church Temporalities. We are not going to inflict on our readers the well-used allusions to Ccczar's wife, but surely if there is one thing more than any other important to the progress of true religion in the country, it is that nothing whatever mercenary should be laid to the charge of the Bishops of the Church of England: When the arrangement of 1835 was made as to episcopal incomes, it is greatly to be regretted that there was not made a firm and absolute settlement of the question, without any further involvements as to rents of lands or other fluctuating profits. This, however, has not been done. While professing to settle episcopal incomes, the act of 1835 has done nothing whatever of the sort. Many elements were still left to tempt cupidity and to provoke slander, elements which, having no concern with the proper office of a bishop, could in their very nature be only productive of evil. The misfortune of such a pretended settlement is this—that while it really arranges nothing, it leaves to the designing or the ignorant the opportunity of saying that the Parliament did this and the Bishops conjointly did the contrary. By the act of 1835, it was supposed to be arranged that in future the incomes of the various sees were to be settled as follows :—Canter bury, £15,000, York, £lO,OOO, London, £lO,OOO, Durham, £B,OOO, Winchester, £7,000, and all the other £5,000 or £4,500, according to circumstances. Now we do not think that much complaint could be made against this arrangement, on the score of want of liberality, but it has not been carried out, in its integrity, doubtless not by any fault or desire of the prelates who are concerned, but because there still was left in the arrangement the vicious circumstance that fines and rents were not reserved for general Church purposes, and their probable produce calculated, perhaps, in a slovenly manner. In such a matter as the income of a Bishop there should be none of this huxtering of one source and another, The act of Parliament should either have left alone the matter or should have effectuated what it pretended to do. But what is the fact? In 1848 the Bishop of London, instead of his stipulated £lO,OOO, received £24,272 13s. Bd., in 1849, £18,974 Bs. 5d., in 1850, 19,895 10s: The Bishop of Winchester, also, instead of his £7,000, received in 1848, £11,313 14s. 7d., in 1849, £10,792 19s. 2d., and in 1850, £28,388 7s. It may be said that these Bishops should not be included in the new arrangement. Morally we can give the argument no weight, but let us turn to the Bishop of Durham and the Bishop of Oxford. Dr. Maltby is a great reformer. He is a senator of the London University and a stickler for cheap know ledge. Well, this Whig prelate, after paying to the ecclesiastical commissioners the sum of £11,200 per annum, the estimated, or rather the conjectured, amount of his rent and fines, instead of his £B,OOO under the act, takes, in 1850, the sum of £27,419 Bs. /d.! The Bishop of Oxford's case is an exam ple of another abuse. It was stipulated that poor sees not amounting to £5,000 revenue should be made up to that sum by the ecclesiastical commis sioners. The Bishop of Oxford seems, while his see was paying, by revenues, fines, and leases, the sum of £5,265, to have taken £3,500 a-year from the ecclesiastical commissioners, making his income £9,691. This is decidedly the worst case. No man having the true interests- of the Church of England at heart, will regret that attention ill drawn to the subject. The Church press should be the first to cry out for inquiry, and to see that in a Church in which so many who preach the Gospel are barely able to " live by the Gospel"—such very gross mismanagements and misapplications should come to an end. Is it right that Churchmen should sit silent on this subject, and leave it to her enemies to move ? If the Bishops themselves will not pre vent the further spreading of this scandal (and it affects all classes of prelates, Whig and Tory, High Church and Low,) the laity must take it up. There is great wisdom in the Roman satirist : Segnius irretant animos demissa per cures Quam gum sunt oculis subjects fidelibus. And these are matters before the eyes of all the world. We agree with a London contemporary, that if Churchmen do not take this up " an enemy will not lose the opportunity." IN other columns will be found a copious report of Mr. Duncan's Lecture, delivered at the Music hall on Friday last. We are induced to call parti cular attention to it, because we consider it as the precursor to a cordial union of moderate men, of various parties, who have hitherto been disunited, or violently opposed. The lecturer announced himself in the character of a CONCILIATOR, and in that spirit he was received; for the vote of thanks tendered to him was moved by Mr. Fisher, a staunch Protectionist, and seconded by Mr. Brode ribb, an equally staunch Free Trader. Surely it is significant of reaction when opponents meet on the same platform ; much more so when they unite to mark their approval of new principles, which both can conscientiously support without any surrender of their former opinions. Mr. Fisher would protect our legal tender against being exported to a forcign country, while Mr. Broderibb advocates free trade in money, as well as free trade in commodities. We hope we are not deceived in thinking that Mr. Duncan has brought an olive branch with him into Lancashire, and that the CONSTITUTIONAL Asso- CTATION will turn this movement to good account. They may elect Protectionist members for Liverpool and South Lancashire, if they now make an ener getic effort. GRAND SAILING MATCH OF THE ROYAL MERSEY YACHT CLUB, A grand sailing match, for elegant pieces of plate, com. prising two silver jugs and a large silver salver, given by the Royal Mersey Yacht Club, came off on Saturday. The day was extremely favourable for testing the sailing qualities of the beautiful vessels, a stiff breeze blowing from the W.N.W., with considerable sea down the Vic toria Channel. The river presented a very animated appearance, being crowded with craft of every description, and the shore about New Brighton was covered by visiters. On reaching the starting point, at New Brighton, we found the following vessels stationed, and ready for the signal, No. 1 being westward Tons. Owners. No: 1. Ranger (iron) 2. Fidget (ditto) 3.

Exquisite The Victoria, 11, and Rob Roy, 17, did not start, though entered and present. A good start was effected by all at 12. 44. 20., with the exception of a slight delay on the part of the Queen and Coralie. The Ranger was first off ; but the Tartar and Exquisite feeling more of the strong breeze, and in the strength of the tide, soon took a decided lead. The Bacchante did not seem to get to work well ; she moved at first but slowly ; presently she became second, and at Formby Lightship was within two minutes of the Tartar, which had begun the "dead beat" to windward, through a heavy breaking sea, to the Bell Buoy, by tacking at 1.21.50. to Port, followed by Bacchante at 1.23.30. ; Tartar again about to starboard at 1.26.25., Bacchanate ditto, at 1.29,25—0ne minute ten seconds after which, in shifting jibs, she (Bacchante) washed a man off the bowsprit head, and was delayed exactly 16 min. 35 sec. in rescuing him ; and having been passed by all the yachts, who were hard at it, and continued their course round the Bell Buoy and North-west Light Ship, the Bacchante making up admi rably for her lost time. At the North-west Light Ship the second time, being the extreme outward point of the race, the yachts passed in the following order : - Hrs. Mim. Sec. Tartar Bacchante ' Coralie Exquisite.... Queen of the Ocean Ranger They arrived at the flag-ship, off New Brighton, in beautiful style, at the precise periods mentioned below : Tartar .. Bucchante Carolie .. 6 5 20 Exquisite 6 6 40 Queen of the Ocean Ranger The Tartar was never headed during the whole course, and accomplished the entire distance of 43 nautical miles in 4 hours and 53 minutes, being, we are informed, the shortest time that the distance has been run. The match between the Exquisite and Coralie was an excellent one, and both boats were admirably managed. It will be seen that they arrived at New Brighton within a minute and a half of each other. The City of Dublin Company's Princess steamer was engaged for the occasion, and had on board the Commo dore, Rear-Commodore, officers of the club, and a large number of the members and their friends, including many ladies, who, we hope, and feel sure, were well repaid for the inconveniences they might at times have felt from the stormy nature of the sea and weather, by the great in terest of the match. the delicate and beautiful entertain ment provided by Mr. Castle, and the fascinating delight of the valse polka and galop which they were enabled, guided by their nautical partners, to enjoy on coming home, to the stirring music of Gribbin's celebrated band. The winner hails from Cowes, but it is difficult to say who was the builder, as she has been so frequently altered. The Exquisite was built by Mr. Reid, of Ipswich, the builder of the Enigma, 25 tons, lately stationed here, and of the beautiful pilot boat No. 2, the Teaser. The only regrets were the non-entry of th e Vision, for whose especial benefit the Tartar had come round from the Wight, and that the wonderful exploits of the Exqui site were unrewarded. Immediately after the race had been concluded the Commodore (T. Littledale, Esq.) presented, in a com plimentary address, the beautiful piece of plate to Mr. Loftus, who represented Mr. Dawes, the owner of the Tar tar, who was on board the steamer. Mr. Loftus replied in neat and suitable terms, and pro posed the health of the Commodore, amidst great enthu siasm. PICKING POCKETS.—A woman named Ann Turner was committed to the Sessions, for having picked the pocket of a female on Saturday night in Great Charlotte street. THE WEATHER.—For several days last week wehad fine weather, well adapted for the hay harvest. On Sunday several rather smart showers fell, but the day was warm and seasonable. During the night a strong breeze sprung up, which prevailed during the whole of yesterday. A great portion of the hay is already cut in this neighbour. hood, and much of it safely housed. GREAT WIZARD OF THE NORTH.—We perceive, in our advertising columns, that t his extraordinary personage, who has so briliantly deceived the public for the last 15 years, under the especial patronage of royalty at home and abroad, is on the eve of crossing the Atlantic, and purposes giving us a farewell night of wonders at the Theatre Royal. MAN DROWNED.—A Runcorn flatman, when opposite the Harrington Dock with his flat, on his way to Run corn on Sunday, observed the body of a man floating in the river. He succeeded in getting the body on board, but afterwards consigned it to a policeman, who had it carried to the Dead-house. An inquest was held on the body yesterday, at which time no person had appeared to claim it. STABBING.—A diminitive Irishman, who gave his name James Doherty, was committed to the assizes yesterday, to take his trial for having stabbed a man named Stanton, William Stanton stated that he was a labourer, and lived in No. 18 Court, Milton-street. About midnight of Saturday, the 29th June, he was in a public-honse in his neighbourhood, when a man named Lenagan challenged him to fight ; they turned out for this purpose, and shortly afterwards Lenagan ran into Doherty's house, which is opposite Stanton's, and immediately the former ran out, and rushed upon Stanton with a clasp knife, with which he inflicted a wound in his left side. The man was confined to his bed a fortnight, from the serious state of the injury. DISTRESSING SUICIDE.—An aged man named Robert Rimmer put a period to his existence on Sunday. Deceased was sixty-three years of age, and with his wife occupied lodgings in Highfield-street. He had formerly been employed by a person named Kersley, who kept a coal yard in the neighbourhood, to assist him in his business, but was dismissed about five months ago, since which time he has been in a desponding and melancholy state of mind. He applied for parish relief, but was refused aid in any other shape than as an inmate; this affected him strongly, and he complained much at the thought of being compelled to leave his wife. On Sunday morning he and his wife went to St. Paul's Church ; in the evening the latter went to church alone, and when she returned was horrified at discovering her husband suspended by a card 4 from.kaail in, the wall. GRAND PROTESTAN7' ASSOCIATION OF LOYAL ORANGEMEN. PUBLIC DEMONSTRATION YESTERDAY. Saturday last was the anniversary of the Battle of the Boyne, in which the decisive blow was given in a cause which had for its object the re-establishment in these realms of civil and religious liberty, and the subjugation of ultra-monarchical and sacerdotal power. In accordance with a desire, universally expressed throughout the entire body of associated Orangemen in this district, it was determined to celebrate the occasion with more than ordinary publicity and display • end in orde r t o carry out this determination with full effect, the demonstration was postponed to Monday (yesterday), as being a day less likely to interfere seriously with the avocations of a large majority of the body. The Orangemen of this town have, for many years, violated their own feelings from deference to the wishes of the local authorities, who have held an opinion that the public manifestation on the part of a large section of citizens of loyalty to the Queen, and attachment to the National Church, was dangerous to tl e peace and good order of a community numbering so great a proportion of Irish Roman Catholics as ours confessedly does. The respect for peace and order, inherent in the mind of every consistent Orangeman, forbad them giving the slightest pretext for the violation of the law to their opponents, consequently the 12th of July has, for several years, been allowed to pass over unmarked by any ex tended public demonstration : the rejoicings have been chiefly limited to certain localities, and to the various lodges of this loyal order. Tiiis prudence and forbear ance, however, have not been reciprocated by the Irish Romanists, who, in spite of magisterial remonstrance, have never failed to celebrate their particular festivals in as public a manner, and with as much parade as they could accomplish. Under these circumstances, the Orangemen consider they have been unnecessarily mag nanimous, in stifling their religious and loyal impulses for so long a period ; and as their example has been thrown away on their opponents, they see no reason for its fruit less continuance. The determination to restore the honours of the day, so long in abeyance, has not been hastily resolved on : meetings of the different lodges have been repeatedly called during the past few months ; and as soon as the final determination was come to, the most active measures were taken to give full effect to the approaching demonstration. Invitations were forwarded to brethren in Manchester, Shrewsbury, and Wigan, from each of which towns deputations have been sent to swell the ranks of the Liverpool association. The number of Orangmen in this town alone is little under one thousand. The expense consequent on these proceeciings has neces sarily been considerable, and to meet it each lodge has contributed a quota. The banners and other accessories, essential to render the procession imposing, have, in many instances, suffered from the ravages of time, conse quently considerable outlay was required in refitting and repairing ; costly accessions have also been made, the most important of which are two banners of immense size, at an expenditure of more than one hundred pounds. These banners are attached to lodges Nos. 16 and 35. The former represents, on one side, the full length figure of Queen Elizabeth, with the motto " Church and Queen, and no surrender :" traced on pillars, on either side of the figure, are the words " In God is our Trust," " This we will Support." The reverse represents the destruction of the Spanish Armada. The latter, belong ing to No. 35, or John Knox Lodge, is similar in size and appearance to the foregoing. The figure of John Knox, in his scholastic gown, occupies one side; inscrip tion, " Peace, Love, and Unity, and Faith, Hope, and Charity ;" motto, " Queen, Church, and Constitution ;" reverse, an elaborate and artistic production, copied from Steplianoff's picture of Cranmer revoking his recantation ; it comprises the figure of Cranmer, and those of sixteen others, which surround the pulpit, under which the martyr is placed. The style in which these paintings are executed is far superior to that of similar productions of this branch of the art. At eight o'clock yesterday morn ing the whole of the lodges comprised in the southern district met at the Royal Oak, Park-place, Toxteth-park, where they formed into procession, and walked to the I T 7 ! King's monument, London-road, the general place V of meeting, here they were joined by the various lodges comprised in the northern district, as also by the members of the association, from the towns referred to above. The route was as follows :—Down London-road, along Lime street, down Ranelagh-street, and Church-street ; up Lord-street, along South Castle-street, and part of Hanover-street, into Duke-street ; thence through Great George-street, along Mill-street and Park-street, when the procession turned into the field, a little above John the Baptist's Church. The Rev. Mr. Reid, chaplain to the association, was prevented from taking part in the proceedings, owing to absence to recruit his health. The Rev. Fenton, of Wavertree, another chaplain, is in London, attending the grand meeting, under the presi deuce of the Earl of Enniskillen, who is to bring forward a motion by which the entire body of Orangemen throughout the United Kingdom is to be embraced under one title, and concentrated in one association, which has not hitherto been the case. THE PROCESSION VIOLENT ATTACK ON THE ORANGEMEN The different lodges began to arrive at the Monument soon after nine o'clock ; they were about an hour in forming; and, while effecting this, a strong muster of Irish labourers and " navvies" rushed from the lower part of London-road, and made a furious onslaught upon the Orangemen. The suddenness of the attack threw the latter into disorder for a few minutes, and they retired in some confusion to the shelter of the neighbouring streets; they almost instantly rallied, however, and some of them having hastily disengaged themselves of the incumbrances of their respective offices, turned upon their assailants in good earnest : a regular fight was the consequence ; its duration however was short. The attacking party soon expended their ammunition (stones), and the defence on the part of the Orangemen • was all the more formidable, as several of them who carried drawn swords, as the insignia of their office, had to make use of these weapons. Several shots were fired ; but as these did not appear to produce any injurious result, we presume they were not loaded with bullets. The Irish were soon repulsed, bearing marks of the conflict in the shape of broken heads, but no }ling more serious. A second attack was made a few minutes afterwards, when a single policeman (1621 made his app2arance. and nobly attempted to quell the riot. He was seriously hurt by the ribbonmen. The greatest con fusion prevailed while this skirmishing was going on; several thousands had congregated to see the procession, and great numbers of these now fled in every direction. About a quarter of an hour after this, the body having re formed, was put in motion ; and just at that moment, Superintendents Towerson and Abraham came up with about 200 men. The police were loudly cheered by the Orangemen. The procession was unusually imposing, though the effect was not so great as it would undoubtedly have been had the morning been less stormy. The wind was so boisterous that it was found necessary to furl several of the largest flags in order to save them from destruction. One or two valuable flags were torn to ribbons from the neglect of this precaution. The follow ing is a description of the principal insignia and flags : No. 2 Lodge, a large banner, Victoria on the globe, in her hand an open book—motto, " Search the Scriptures ;" reverse, William the Third granting the Bill of Rights ; the warrant of the lodge borne by two of the order and guarded by the sword-bearer ; the Bible and Crown followed. No. 13 Lodge, a large banner representing the apprentices shutting the gates of Derry—motto, "No Surrender ;" reverse, William the Third at the Boyne; the Crown and Cushion within an ornamental arch, around which was inscribed, " Prepare to meet thy God." A number of small equestrian figures of King William, encircled by ornamental wreaths, and borne upon wands by members of the order. A small banner representing the Duke of York ; reverse, Moses receiving the tables of stone. No. 14 Lodge, a large banner; William the Third ; reverse, Queen Victoria. No. 23 Lodge, an ornamental arch encircling the warrant, and inscribed, " Holiness to the Lord ;" the royal standard and Bible and Cushion. No. 31 Lodge, large banner representing General Ginckel ; reverse, the royal arms of England ; the mace was borne after ;—this mace was pre sented to the Liverpool Orangemen by Ernest, the present King of Hanover ;—it consists of a silver globe, upon which is an equestrian figure of 'William the Third, —the globe and figure being of solid silver. Upon a sort of litter, borne by four apprentices (carpenters), were the crown, the warrant of the lodge, and an open Bible. Many of the members of this lodge carried wands, upon which were fixed small Bibles. Lodges 330, 580, and 1006, the Irish lodges, had several large banners—William the Third at the Boyne, Moses before the burning bush, William the Third, and the Earl of Enniskillen. The large flag belonging to the last named lodge was destroyed by the wind. Several of the lodges were accompanied by bands of music As the procession was proceeding up Lord-street, a stone was thrown into the body by a man, who was immediately seized by Marshall, the officer on duty in the street, and taken to the Main Bridewell. He was shortly afterwards brought up before Mr. Mansfield, and fined 40s. ; in default, to be imprisoned six weeks. Another Irishman, in the course of the morning, was apprehended in Dale-street; he was carrying a.bludgeon, and making use of threatening language. He was brought before the same magistrate, and dismissed with a reprimand. A boy was committed to gaol for six weeks for having two large stones in his pockets, which the worthy stipendiary said might have been used with very dangerous effect. Three other men were shortly after placed in the dock, charged with being concerned in the fight in London-road, and with assaulting Jackson,l62. They gave the names of John Mor gan, Win. Wrigley, and Daniel Rourke. The circumstances under which they were apprehended will appar from the evidence of Scot, 452. His account was, that about ten o'clock, as he was going up London-road, and just as the procession was being formed, he saw several hundred men coming up, carrying sticks and brick bats. He went im mediately to Hotham-street Bridewell for assistance, and on his return he heard that Jackson, 162, had been se riously injured. He ran off then to Rose-hill station, and in consequence of his information the body of police referred to before was sent to the spot. On his return he was informed that a man who had been seen to take part in the affray had sheltered himself in a house in Wake field-street. Scot went to this house, and found the pri soner Morgan in a room up stairs; there was a s ti c k i n the same room, nearly covered with blood. At the same he cbmls t oa i namamnfins seriously reo : padfo n rruf s oyefs p ovrl ieryiondcc injured provided r uvudw.es H ranei r utn a dhg i dffi m eaaars e byo s nosus.sus a utw p psTa p ptt shrlhayeetenhe not t n fne d Tbu e derrh d iri eceet W kshl pta r iratp i ni t g sefisho l nec y oetienlr ilsw n c. bh d ei yrnTCet this Con stable Storey captured Daniel Rourke. Jackson has been d ey ey showered unsparingly around them ; the consequence was that scarcely a,eane a glass was left entire in the window or Mr. Aspinall's spirit vault, at the corner of Craven street, immediately opposite the scene of the outrage. The valuable plate-glass window of Mr. Owen, draper, next door, was also rendered worthless, a large brickbat having been thrown through the upper part of it ; the lower part is also much cracked by some less formidable The procession arrived at its destination opposite St. John . the Baptist's Church, Park-road, about twelve o'clock. The intended address being dispensed with, the proces sion instead of separating hero as had been proposed. returned along Path-road, Great George-street, Upper Duke-street, Rodney-street, Russeil-street, St. Ann street, Everton-crescent, Shaw-street, and London-road, where the main body separated, each lodge proceeding to its particular club to dine. Considerable apprehension seems to have been felt by part of the residents of the different streets through which the procession was to pass, that another attack would be made, and most of the shops were closed in anticipation of the worst ; nothing serious however occurred throughout the line of march, excepting the London-road affair. .Along Park-lane dense masses of Irish of the lowest class had assembled, as if awaiting the return of the Orangemen, but happily the procession never came nearer to that locality than the end of Great George-street. In this street, too, most of the shops were shut, and the road before St. James's Market was almost impassable from the number of people assembled. Duke -street and Shaw's-bro w presented much the same appearance of disorder, though the pro cession was at no time near that locality. Some further fighting occurred in St. Anne -street and other parts of that neighbourhood, but nothing serious resulted, and no per son was apprehended in consequence. The shops in Islington and St. Anne-street were generally closed, as well as along Byrorn-street for some distance. In the evening the lodges dined at the following places, amongst others :—The Cock and Trumpet, the Royal Oak, Park-road ; Wheat Sheaf, Scotland-road •, Crane, St. Vincent-street ; Phoenix, Mount-pleasant ; Mr. Holme's, Fleet-street ; Mr. May's, Ranclazh-street ; &c., &c. Tea parties were held at St. Mary's school-room, Kirkdale, and. at St. Paul's, Prince's-park. During the afternoon and evening the streets about Byrom -street were kept in a continual ferment—the Riband party saluting with stones any person suspected of Orange tenets. The police fell in for a share of these favours wherever they made their appearance. About twenty vagabonds, taken in the act of throwing stones, or otherwise bre a ki ng th e p eace, were lodged in the Rosehill. Bridewell. It is said that at an early hour yesterday morning, the "lumpers" at the docks were waited on by a party of their co-religionists, who prevented them working, and induced their participation in the outrages which were afterwards committed. We obtained the following particulars from inquiry at the Infirmary last evening :—With the policeman Jackson three other men were brought in. These were all injured in the London-road affray. Jackson is much hurt about the head : he has sustained a fracture of the skull, and is altogether so much hurt that it is feared by the surgeon who has attended him that his valour will cost him his life. Patrick Hagan, the first of the three, has received a sabre cut, which has penetrated the skull ; the other two, Devitt and Dowdall, are also hurt severely about the head. Five other men were brought to the infirmary in the course of the afternoon, who were suffering from injuries received in a second conflict. which occurred in London road, at the end of Moss-street, as the procession was returning to the Monument from Everton. The names of these persons are James M'Minn, Michael Finnigan, John Plunkett, Tassidy, and Robert Gurthshaw. Alt these, except the last man, were injured about the head. Their injuries, we understand, are contused wounds. and though sufficiently serious to confine the sufferers for some time, they have not as vet assumed dangerous symp toms. Gurthshaw, who is the only Orangeman who has been injured, is suffering from the effects of an accident in connection with the conflict. He was endeavouring to discharge a pistol which had missed fire, and which he held in his left hand, with his right over the muzzle ; while in this position, the pistol burst and shattered his right hand dreadfully. As soon as he was admitted to the infirmary, the maimed hand was amputated by the house-surgeon ; he is in a f a i r wa y o f recovery, o f course, with the loss of his right hand. In the course of the after noon, a boy named Fry was brought to the same institution; he was looking out of a window at the passing procession, and in the excitement lost his balance, and was precipi tated to the ground. He has suffered an injury of the thigh - it is hoped the b one i s not f racture d . A b out the time ;he first affray was at its height, in Lore - lois-road, it appears there was another of rather a singular nature waging in Byrom -street. A respectable female named Powers, who resides in Clayton-street, was in Byrom street, making some purchases, when it seems the circum stance of her wearing a yellow shawl and having ribbon of the same exciting colour in her bonnet, disturbed the equanimity of a passe of Irish " basket-girls," who attacked the unfortunate woman en masse, tearing to tatters the obnoxious garments. Nor would they have ended here but for the interference of a gentleman who was passing in his gig, and who succeeded in getting the woman into a cellar, where she was sheltered. But for this opportune assistance her life might have been for feited. The greatest indignation at this wanton act, on the part of a number of girls who are mainly indebted to Protestants for their daily bread, is felt by the respectable residents of the locality in which the outrage took place. . The preparations made in Ireland on Saturday on the part oft he Government to prevent anything like a collision have been extensive. The Orangemen of Ulster had de termined to avoid all excuse for a collision with the Ro man Catholics. On Monday (yesterday), however, it wag thought the Roman Catholics, by the aid of the Tenant League, would make themselves heard, if not felt. The Nation says the meeting was to be held on the banks of the Boyne —a rather hazardous exploit, if carried out. The Newry Telegraph gives the particulars of extensive arraneements for the prceervation of the peace throughout the district of Ulster, but adds that such precautions are quite unneces s ary, and concludes as follows :—" We would recommend him (the Lord-Lieutenant) to take into con sideration the propriety of passing an act of Parliament before this day twelvemonth to abolish the growth of Orange lilies and purple rockets." . . GRAND ORANGE CEREMONIAL.—The Orangemen of Antrim have lately elected as their grand master a suc cessor worthy of the late venerable James Watson, Esq., of Brook Hill. A nobleman of large estates in the coun ties of Antrim and Down, whose pen has been success fully employed in behalf of Protestantism, and whose his tory of the life and times of William 111. marks him as a worthy occupant of a chair of honour and responsibility, has been elected to the high office of grand master of Antrim. Belfast is selected as the scene of inauguration,_ and a buildi ng l a t e l y erected in that town, capable of containing several thousands, has been obtained for the celebration of this auspicious ceremonial. It is expected that a great body of the northern Orangemen will be pre sent, as the Antrim Orangemen have invited their brothers of the adjoining counties to be with them. The inaugu ration will be held on the evening of Wednesday, 16th inst. We understand that there are no less than thirty seven lodges in Belfast alone, and that the committee have instructions from them to spare no expense or trouble on this festive occasion. Ladies are admissible, and the loyal north is expected to turn out well. We hope that some of the good men and ti ue of Dublin may be found at the side of their northern brethren on the 16th, and, as to a welcome, we have no doubt they will be warmly received by the Orangemen of the north. THE LATE LORD DERBY'S MUSEUM.- SPECIAL COUNCIL MEETING. A special meeting of the Town Countil has been sum moned for to-morrow (Wednesday), to take into consi deration and determine upon the following letter from the Right Honourable the Rail of Derby : Knowsle Ju 8, 1851. SIR, — It was the anxious w i s h o f my dear y, and lamented Father, as it is my own, that the very extensive and valuable collection of stuffed Birds and Animals, which it was the labour of his life to form, should not, after his death, be dispersed, but rendered, as far as possible, available to the amusement and instruction of his countrymen and neighbours. Among his private papers I find one upon this subject, embodying an arrangement upon which be had communicated with me, which so clearly sets forth his views, that I cannot do better than transcribe his own words : With the anxious desire that what I have collected, during the long existence that has been granted me, may be devoted more particularly to the gratifica tion and, I would hope, advantage of the part of this country with which I have been more immediately connected, and in which I c..nnot but feel a more direct interest, I would desire that this Museum should be placed in the care of a body of Trustees, after the model of the British Museum, to he placed in the town or environs of Liverpool, hoping that the public authorities there may think it fit to erect some building for its reception, which might, perhaps, with advantage, be placed in connexion with the Collegiate Institution already established in that town. If this suggestion should be adopted, or favourably received, I would propose that the Earl of Derby for the time being, and one other memb er o f my f am i ly, should be trus tees; that my personal f r i en d Ri c h ar d Earle should also be one during his life, if he will be pleased to accept the trust, and that the Mayor of Liverpool, and the two Rectors of the town for the time being, shall be members ex officio, on the part of the town, and the Incumbents of Knowsley and of Huyton on the part of the country. That the above persons shall be the first trustees, and that they have power to add to their number, to fill up vacancies as they shall occur. and to lay down rules and regulations for tl.e better management and preservation of the Museum, and for the purpose of making it i as beneficial as possible for the amuse men t an d i nstruction of the inhabitants of the town and ne i g hb our h ood in the first t devotethe i e t directly me, and available o for h place, and, next, of the public in genera l . As it is my prin cipal object by this arrangement t o k eep together, in one body, to the benefit of the risi ng generation, I have ventured to sug gest its being annexed to th e C o l legiate Institution, as by that means h e e a c n o s l which has been formed b appear l to bemore purposes of instruction and reference ; and I would further add my wish, that it should bear the name of its original founder, as some memorial of the interest I have from boyhood felt in the study of Natural Ilistory, and my earnest wish to make that which has formed a constant pleasure during my own life, as far as possible conducive to the welfare and gram fication of my fellow -countrymen snd neighbours." I haVe only to request that you will have the kindness to bring this subject under the consideration of the Council at the earliest period consistent with your own convenience, and to express an earliest hope on my part, that nothing in the con ditions attached may interpose to prevent their acceptance of an offer which seems to hold out no inconsiderable advantage to the population of Liverpool, and which will place my father's extensive collection in a position alike conducive to the gratifi cation of his friends and neighbours, honourable to himself, and on all accounts gratifying to me as his representative. I have the honour to be, Your obedient servant, The Mayor. DEBBY. No doubt the Council will unanimously comply with the very reasonable stipulations of the noble donor in pre senting so gracefully this very magnificent collection. Mr. J. F. South has been elected Preiident of the Royal College of Surgeons. The damage caused by the late hailstorm at Shipston on-Stour is estimated at £20,000. 11.btir tu ntel le hl' or e rne r 'en. sold tier ° the Isl 6 [ol,ll ° full; 7040 RIX an OffiCe* trail!
