SECON D EDi I'D) N. Standard-office, Eight o'clock BY EXPRESS. --......-.--- (FROM OUR OWN CORRESPONDENT.) DUMAN, Iloalay, Hilt Oct. 1813. Two o'clock, p.m. Mr. O'CONNELL Returned to town this morning from Glencullun, about nine miles from Dublin, the seat of his son-in-law, C. Fitzsimon, Esq., wnether be proceeded on Saturday even- ing to enjoy the mountain breezes yesterday. This morning's Freeman's Journal announces the sAnal weekly meeting of the National Repeal Association, to be held at the Corn Exchanze, at one o'clock, and that the Liberator will attend. It set forth the nature of the informations which have been sworn, and which are so voluminous that they have not yet been furnished to Mr. O'Connell, though copies have been ordered to be given to him with the utmost desp.tch. Among other charges set forth in the informations against the Liberator, and upon which special counts will, it ig presumed, be framed, are the following:—Levy ing money off the Queen's subjects—levying money off persons the subjects of foreign governments, for the pur poses of intimidation, and for the better advancement of seditious intents—assumption of prerogative in instituting courts of law. Also for seditiously and malignantly con spiring to and with each other to endeavour to seduce her Majesty's subjects in the Army and Navy from their allegiance to the throne, with conspiring to establish courts in order to supercede the courts of justice as esta blished by law, and with an attempt to overturn the constitution as established, under the pretext of seeking for a repeal of the legislative union. A host of other allegations were made, and sundry so. called seditious speeches set forth, but the only precise information we have as yet been aide to obtain regarding this extrordinary and intere,ting document, is contained in the above It is presumed that the informations against the other gentlemen are nearly similar to those against Mr. O'Con nell—the speeches alone excepted. The several parties have engaged the most eminent counsel at the bar for their defence, a lig of whom I sub join: —The Right Hon. Dr. Pigot, Q.C.; Richard Moore, Esq., Q.C. ; John Hatchell, Esq., ttl. C.; Sir Coleman O'Loghl-n. T. O'Hagan. Esq., and James Close, Esq., for Mr. O'Connell.—Solicitor, Mr. William Ford. For Mr. John O'Connell—Jonathan Henn, Esq , Q C.; Gerald Fitzinbnn, Esq , Q.(7.; James Whiteside, Esq., Q. C. ; and Francis iVl'Donagh, Esq., Q. C. ; Solicitor, Mr. Pierce Mahony. However, it is indispensable that a license from the Crown should be obtained by the Queen's Counsel, in all cases in which the crown is a party, which has hitherto been always granted in such cases, whether the Govern ment may exercise their right in the present instance I cannot say. The meeting of the wards I alluded to in my letter of last night passed several resolutions expressive of their un bounded confidence in the Liberator—condemnatory of the government proceedings, and urging the necessity of all who had already contributed to the Repeal, contri buting a fresh subsidy under the head of Proclamation money, but none of the proceedings were of such impor tance as to he worth transmitting in detail. To-day, Dr. Gray, Messrs:C. G. Duffy, Thos. M. Ray, Thos. Steele, Rev. James Tyrrell, Rev. Thos. Tier ney, and Mr. Richard Barrett, attended at. Judge Burton's, and entered into hail, themselves in £5OO, and two sure ties in £250 each. The following are the names of the sureties for Dr. Gray—Alderman Gardiner, and Robert Wl'Clelland, T. C. ; for C. G. Duffy. E-u.—Alderman Richard Grace, and Patrick O'Brien, T.C.; for the Rev. Mr. Tyrrell—Thomas Carrall and Simon R chard Fraser; for Thos. M. Ray (Secretary to the Association)-- Patrick O'Brien, T.C. and John Kelch ; for R-- chard Barrett (who is the editor of the Pilot) T. O'Brien, Lord Mayor elect, and James Rooney; for Thornas Seel—James Rooney and Alderman M'Ken ni; for the Rev. T. Tierney—Alderman M'Kenna and Wm. M`Gennis. REPEAL ASSOCIATION This' Day, Four o'clock, Mr. O'Connell is on his legs at the Corn Exchange, (John O'Neill, Esq., of Bunowen Castle, ex-justice of the peace, in the chair,) all the avenues to which are densely crowded. Several members of the Association and gentlemen of the press have had to leave the door, being unable to procure admission. The rent, the amount of which his not yet been announced, will , it is confidently asserted, exceed Twelve Hundred Pounds. One hundred has been received from Limerick. The Chairman intro duced his son to the Association, handing in £5 as his subscription to the Proclamation Fund. Halfpast Four o'clock, Dnnell's speech is tending in favour of a Mr. OT FEDERAL UNION, and a consequent abandonment of Repeal, and is much subdued in tone NEW LAW AVroINTMENTS ► There is little doubt that the Right Honourable Francis Blackburne, Master of the Rolls, will succeed the present Justice of the Queen's Bench, and be succeeded in the Rolls by Mr. Sergeant Warren. FOURTH EDITION. Standard-office, Three o'clock COTTON MARKET—Tuts DAY The steamer's non-arrival induces purchasers rather to look on than operate ; consequently the demand is li mited, and not much business has been done. The sales do not exceed 2,500 to 3,000 bales, at yesterday's prices, with a quiet but steady and firm market; a few hundred bales taken for export. LIVERPOOL CORN EXCHANGE, THIS DAY (From Messrs. R. Makin & Son?' Circular.) The arrivals into this port Coastwise since Tuesday last are trivial, while those of Irish produce, notwithstanding the prevalence of boisterous weather, are still to a fair extent; we have also to notice 3136 quarters of Wheat from the Baltic and Mediterranean, and 2955 barrels Flour from Canada, the latter admissible at the low fixed duty of 71d per barrel. This morning's market opened with much confidence on the part of holders, and having a good attendance of both town and country millers, sales of new Irish Wheat were readily effected to a fair extent, at an improvement of 3d. to 4d. per bushel on the rates of this day week ; and several parcels were again taken on speculation. Fo veil as Englis'i Wheats may be noted Id. to 2d. it were in comparatively limited demand. reign as dearer, Fresh Ir'sh Flour was in moderate request at previous rates ; in Foreign little doing Prime Malting Barley, were any at hand, would bring 345. to 365. per quarter.

Wheat Wheat THE MENAGERIE AT SCHOENBruUNN, NEAP. VIENNA. —Ot ail the imprisoned animals none make so melancholy an impression as the eagles and vultures. These great, high soaring, far-circling lords of the air ought at least to have had their prison-house arranged in some measure according to their natural propensities. A wooden cage, with iron grating, is a fitter den for a lion or tiger than for the rock-th roned eagle's nest. In this narrow dungeon they cannot even stretch their pinions, and yet this mo tion is no doubt as much a necessity to them as it is to man to stretch his arms and legs after long continuance in a sitting or lying posture ; indeed it is evident, from the custom all imprisoned birds have of spreading their wings slowly and yawningly from time to time, The eagle and vulture sit upon their perches as motionl, ss as if they were mere stones. One whom I was watching held his head on one side and his eyes immoveably fixed on the skies; another uttered a melancholy sound at intervals, and lifted his useless wing. Some of them are extremely old. I was told that one had been fifty years a prisoner. In fifty years, if we assume that, one way or another, an eagle can fly thirty miles a day, he might have traversed 590.000 miles; that is, he might have encompassed the earth a hundred times. Good heaven! what a fearful destiny to feel this power within, and be condemned for ever to one narrow, dirty, stinking hole! As the eagles are neither cheerful here, nor display their natural pecu larities in any way, they can yield neither pleasure to the lover of nature, nor profit to the inquirer into her mysteries ; and people would do much better, I am al most inclined to think, to free them at once from the burden of life, and place them stuffed in a museum.— Kohl's Austria. LA ZIOURE as' A ILOTMENTS.-At a great agricultural meeting. at Lichfield, on Tuesday week, Sir Robert Peel thus expressed himself on this subject:—" The question was agitated last Session, with reference to the policy of allotments to farm labourers, and much important evi dence was taken upon the snhject, before a Committee of the House of Commons. I have read that evidence, and the impression on my mind, whether in a political or moral point of view, is in favour of allotting to the re spectable labourer on a farm such a small portion of land as would afford occupation to the vacant hours of himself and family, and give him an interest in the soil in com mon with the great proprietor."—On the Question of whether it was not an essential policy in landowners to secure better farming in their tenantry, by granting more extended terms, the Right Hon. Baronet said, that, on his own property all tenancies were from year to year only, according to the custom of that part of the country ; but he gave notice, that he would be prepared to meet any tenants of his who might consider that they should feel it would conduce to their greater self-respect and satis faction to hold longer leases, and who was not at all pre pared to say he would witholdsuch leases after so conferring with the parties. "Gentlemen," said the right Hon. Baronet, ' I know nothing in English Society that pre sents a prospect more gratifying than a rural district well cultivated, in which subsist relations of mutual confi dence between the landed proprietor and the occupying tenant; and, let me add, the farm-labourer. Politics, gentlemen, that is to say, politics that in anyway partake of a party character, are wisely excluded from our pro ceedings ; hut it would be absurd to exclude that great and comprehensive policy which must see in the success of British agriculture one of the great foundations of na tionai strength and national prosperity." . . . LIFE All.KM.—The Eastern woman seems as happy in her lot as her European sister, notwithstand ing the plurality of wives in which her lord indulges or ventures upon. In her " public opinion's law" there is no more disparagement in occupying the second place as a wife, than there is in Europe as a daughter. The man ners of the patriarchal ages remain in Egypt as unchanged as its monuments ; and the people of Cairo no more think of objecting to a man's marrying a second wife, than those of Memphis thought of questioning the legitimacy of Joseph. The Koran, following the example of the Jewish doctors, only allows four wives to each Musselman, and they seldom avail themselves even of this limited allow ance to its fullest extent. Some hareems contain two hundred females, including wives, mother in-law, concu bines, and the various slaves belonging to each. These feminine barracks. however, seem very different from what such establishments would be in Europe. In the hareem there is as much order and decorum as in an English qua ker's home. It is guarded as the tiger enards his young; but its inmates consider this as a compliment, and fancy themselves neglected if not closely watched. This cause for complaint seldam occurs, for the Egyptian has no blind confidence in the strength of woman's character or woman's love : he considers it safer, if not more glorious, to keep her out of the reach of temptation, than to run the chance of her overcoming it. Born and brought up in the hareem, women never seem to pine at its imprison ment: like cage-born birds, they sing among their bars, and discover in their aviaries a thousand little pleasures invisible to eyes that have a wider range. There are no literary ladies : knowing not the thoughts of others, they associ to the more with their own; and who can tell what wild and beautiful regions of imagination their minds may wander through, unimorisoned, if undirected by educa ti-n. To them, in their calm seclusion, the strifes of the battling world come softened and almost hushed ; they only hear the far-off murmur of life's stormy sea, and if their human lot dooms them to their cares, they are as transient as those of childhood.—Dublin University Ma- gazine. ENGLISH AND COSSACK HORSES.—A wager was laid by Mr. Gibson, the English Consul, that two English horses would beat any two Cossack horses which could be selected, at a race of 50 versts, or upwards of 33 Eng lish miles. This took place long after the Cossack horses had been improved by the admixture of English and Ara bian blood, and Mr Gibson had no particular horses in his view. He commissioned a friend to send two hunters for the purpose. Two tolerably well bred, but at that date naturally not thorough-bred, hunters were sent out to him, whilst the Russians selected out of some 50,000 of the best horses in the Cossack country. The race took place in the presence of the Emperor Alexander; regi ments of Cossacks acre diseersed along the line to keep it clear, thousands of pounds were betted on the issue of the match. and an immense concourse of people assem bled to witness it. It commenced under these disadvan tages for the Englishmen—firstly, that they had grown men to ride, whilst the Cossack horses were ridden at feather weight; asd, secondly. that one of the two Eng lish horses fell dead lame at starting. The other, at the half-way station, arrived whist the two Cossacks were far out of sight, and being full of contempt for his anta gonists, he dismounted. both to refresh himself and his steed ; meanwhile the Cossacks came up and passed on wards. Now, it happened that one of the Counts Orloff, commander of the Cossack horsemen stationed to keep the line, was deeply interested in the issue of the race, and, by a very ingenious if not a very creditable piece of jockeysbip, he had contrived to be made acquainted at every instaat with its progress. For this purpose the Cossacks had private orders, whenever the Russians were ahead to hold their lance perpendicular, when the English were foremost to drop them horizontally. As the horse men were in sight of each other. tuis signal was in a few minutes telegraphed from one to the other, up to the Count. At about the middle of the race, where the Eng lish horse had stopped, the lances, after being constantly down, were suddenly raised up, and Orloff, imagining that now the bottom of the Cossacks was beginning to tell, made sure of victory, and betted another 100,000 rubles on the event; but, alas! be was caught in his own trap, the lances went up again, the English horse came in at last, in miserable plight it is true, but the Cossack horses never came in at all, either dying or being obliged to be killed where they had fallen.—New Monlhlp Magazine. MR. GRATTAN'S. CHARACTER OF DANIEL O'CON NELL IN 1815.—" Examine their leader, M r. O'Connell —he assumes a right to direct the Catholics of Ireland — he advises—he harangues—and he excites; he does not attempt to allay the passions of a warm and jealous peo ple. Full of inflanitnatory matter, his declamations breathed everything but harmony, venting against Great Britain the most disgnsting calumny, falsehoods, and treachery, eq'ialled only by his impudene; describing Great Britian as the moat stupid, the most dishonest, arid the most besotted nation that ever existed ; that Ireland could not confide in the promises of England, &c. With out discrimination he pronounced all Protestants ' bigots.' When he advocated the grievances of the Catholic body, he omitted the greatest yreviance—himself! A man that could make the speeches he has made, utter the senti ments be has uttered, abuse the characters he has abused, praise the characters that he has praised, violate the pro mises that lie has violated, propose such votes and anch cenbures as be has proposed—can have little regard for private honour or for public character; he cannot com prehend the spirit of liberty, and he is not fitted to re ceive it. lie betrays such a scattered understanding and barbarous mind, that if he got liberty he would immedi ately lose it. Almost unsuited for the British constitu tion, and almost ignorant of the bonds of civil society, of such a mould, and such a disposition, as to be incapa ble of accomplishing any rational object, his declamations to the lower orders are full of extravagance, wildness and ambiguity, and set afloat the had passions of the people, make them restless in disposition, and impatient in action. He leaves a vacuum in the meaning of his harangue, to be filled up by the elevated imagination of a warm-hearted and sensible people. It is the part of a bad man to make use of grievances as instruments of power, and render them the means of discontent without a single honest attempt at redress. He knows, or at least he ought to know, that this coraduct is of such a nature as must al ways tend to confusion in bad m:nisters, and strengthen their authority ; it seduces people into mischief not inten ded, and, after exciting them to folly, it abandons them through fear. It may lead them to rise asainst an ex ciseman or titheman, to burn a hayrick, or murder a farmer, but will never teach them to redress greivances, or to bring the offending minister to the scaffold. This leader in spirit is poor, his courage is of a hesitating quality, his political confidence is prodigious also; in de bate he is more than a hero; in every sentence there is a challenge ; in the field he is a diplomatic. He was insult ed, and did not fight ; again insulted, he was goaded to the ground, where his antagonist Rodergo fell. He then offered an insult, was noticed by the condescending spirit of an imprudent minister, was challenged, travelled 400 miles incognito, was arrested through an unforeseen acci dent ; did not go to the ground, being prevented by an ' unavoidable necessity. His speaking is extravagnt dic tion—a vulgar boast, a swaggering sentence, affected bombast, and ludicrous composition. Ills liberty is not liberal, his politics are not reason, his reading is not learn ing, his learning is not knowledge; his rhetoric is a gaudy hyperbole, garnished with faded flowers, such as a drab bled girl would pick up in Covent-garden, stuck in with the taste of a kitchenmaid. He makes politics a trade to serve his desperate and interested purpose. This man can bring about nothing good ; in abortion be is the most fertile ; the womb of his mind is of such sinful mould that it can never produce anything that is not deformed. He never succeeded in any project except the loss of your question. He barks and barks, and, even when the filthy slaverer has exhausted its poison, and returns to its ken nel, it there still barks and howls within unseen. No ad. ministration but would injure their reputatiou by advan cing such a character." THIRD EDlTlOilsr. Standard. office, Eleven o'clo,'k. STILL LATER FROM OUR DUBLIN CORRESPONDENT. MOST IMPORTANT. ABANDONMENT OF REPEAL FOR FEDERALISM. Half-past Seven o'clock. I send you a full report of the proceedings this day at the LOYAL NATIONAL REPEAL ASSOCIATION. The avenues leading to the Corn Exchange were densely crowded long before one o'clock. The chair was taken by John Augustus O'Neill, Esq., of Bun owen Castle, county Galway, formerly M.P. for Hull, and a captain of dragoons ; and subsequently a deputy lieutenant and magistrate, both of which offices he re signtd. The CH AIRMAN said, that when be heard of the arrest of O'Connell and his son, be was determined that O'Neill should not be backward in sharing the post of honour and of peril. (Loud cries of " Hear, bear," and cheers.) He proceeded to explain the grounds of his conviction that repeal was necessary for Ireland, and was discussing the subject of federal legislation when, at one o'clock precisely, the Liberator entered the meeting, accompanied by his sons, the Member for Kilkenny, and Daniel O'Connell, jun., upon which the entire assembly rose, and the cheering was kept up for several minutes. He (Mr. O'N.) deprecated the use of the word Saxon as a term of reproach, and said that all that was good and favour able to liberty in the British constitution was handed down from the Saxon—the evil was introduced by the Normans (hear, hear). He would go from that chair to the dungeon, and from the dungeon to the scaffold rather than admit that he was deterred from seeking right and justice by the insulting presence of troops and artillery (great cheering). The soldier in Russia was a mere machine—a fire-lock upon legs (laughter). The French soldiers were armed and disci, , lined citizens. No men knew better where the duty of the soldier ended, and that of the citizen commenced (hear, hear). He trusted our own soldiery would never forget the distinction (loud cheers). We observed seated at the end of the reporter's table, Inspector Maher, who took a note in a book when any one of " the conspirators" rose to speak. After subscriptions had been handed in from various places, dr. O'CONNELL said--He would, at the conclusion of his remarks, move that their present chairman be re quested to act as chairman on Monday, at the meeting whicn would be held in the Conciliation Hall, which would then be ready for that purpose. (Hear, hear.) He also promised that for the future he (Mr. O'Connell) and he trusted the association also, would give up the word " Sa,on," as it was calculated to give offence.— (Hear, hear.) When they first used the term (and it should be recollected that the only phrase , n Irish to ex press the word Englishman, was " Sassenach")—Lord Stanley was very angry, and they used it ten times more on that account at the time. The use of it was sub sequently revived when they were branded as aliens in language, in blood, and religion. by Lord Lyndhurst, and it had been pretty freely applied ever since; but he now promised that for the future the word should not pass his lips, or if it inadvertently fell from him at any time, he would immediately retract it. ( Hear, hear.) Having denied that the people were obnoxious to the charge of disloyalty, but, on the contrary, entitled to the greatest praise for their strict obedience to the laws, Mr. O'Con nell came to the topic of a federal parliament. In the corporation debate on repeal, he had declared his willing ness to accept a federal parliament, and instanced Canada, where such a parliament had done much good. Since then many pet sons had joined that association, who went no fur ther than a federal union, and he had lately received a letter from a gentleman of high distinction in England on the subject, in which his (Mr. O'Connell's) attention was directed to two points, concerning which the writer be lieved it to be of the greatest importance that the people of England should have correct information before they would join generally or extensively with that association— (hear.) The first point was, that it should he shown to the people of England that Irishmen, in seeking for the restoration of a parliament to their country, strove only to procure for themselves the management of their own local and internal affairs, leaving matters of national importance to both countries to be legislated upon by representatives from both countries in the imperial legislature. The next point was that Englishmen should be satisfied that as they co-operated with Irishmen, so Irishmen should assist Englishmen in their struggle to obtain a full, fair, and free representatinn—(hear, hear, hear.) He (Mr. O'Connell) would meet such propositions in the spirit in which they were put forward, and he told that gentleman that, if a sufficient number of the Eng- HAI p-ogle came forward, there would be no difficulty in arranging repeal on the definite mentioned by him — (hear, hear.) Let him not be taunted with shrink ing when he accepted these terms, for by doing so, they not only took away all argument from their enemies, but merely followed a course to which the association was already pledged by the admission of the Catholic Bishop of Killaloe, and other gentlemen, on the same terms. (Hear, hear, hear.) The change of which they were on the eve, must be bloodless and sinless. He had ascer tained, by a series of monster meetings, that the people were peaceable and determined to obey the law. Acting on the advice of Grattan, who declared that repeal was impossible—the national voice was clearly ascertained to be in favour of it. lie had ascertained that voice so far in peace and quietness, and if the proclamation had not been issued he should have gone on as quietly to the end. He had been told the day before that he should be pre vented from addressing that meeting to-day, but he re plied that that could not be, because he was the auxiliary of the government in preaching peace. If the government were to interfere with him in that room, would it not be said that, having failed to irritate the people by the Clon tarf proclamation, they wanted to do so by arresting the man who preached peace ? Therefore he was there to preach peace. The Repeal rent wag then announced to be £1,232, and the meeting was adj 'urned to Monday next, when the Conciliation Hall will be ready for use. THE POOR AND THE NEW POOR LAW. (From the Times.) The condition of the poor is a subject which, altogether irrespectively of the Poor L , w and its collateral questions, must ever excite the attention of thinking men. Above all, it should be in London, Where the condition of the poor is most strikingly appalling. It appears from the report of the proceedings at Marl borough-street Police-office, in our columns of yesterday, that there is an average number of 50 human beings, of all ages, who huddle together in the parks every night, having no other shelter than what is supplied by the trees and hollows of the embankment. Of these the maj a•ity are young girls, who have been seduced from the country by the soldiers, and turned loose on the world in all the destitution of friendless penury, and all the recklessness of early vice. This is truly horrible. Poor there must be everywhere. Indigence will find its way and set up its hideous state in the heart of a great and luxurious city. Amid the thou sand narrow lanes and by-streets of a populous metro polis there must always, we fear, be much suffering— much that offends the eye—much that lurks unseen. But that within the precincts of wealth, gaiety, and fashion, nigh the regal grandeur of St. James's, close on the palatial splendour of Bayswater, on the confines of the old and the new aristocratic quarters, in a district where the cautious refinement of modern design has ab• stained from erecting one single tenement for poverty; which seems, as it were, dedicated to the exclusive en joyments of wealth,—that there want, famine, and dis ease, and vice should stalk in all their kindred horrors, consuming body by body, and soul by soul ! It is, indeed, a monstrous state of things. Enjoyment the most absolute, that bodily ease, intellectual excite men, or the more innocent pleasures of sense can supply to man's craving, brought in close contact with the most unmitigated misery ! Wealth from its bright saloons laughing—an insolently heedless laugh, at the unknown wounds of want! Pleasure, cruelly but unconsciously mocking the the pain that moans below i All contrary things jostling one another—all contrary, 'save the vice which tempts and the vice which is tempted ! It is a sickening theme. It brings home to the heart the utter weakness—the utter hardness of our nature. There is wealth, there is skill, there is art, there is science, there is theory,—all these enough, and more than enough, in England. Most abundant are they in the heart of England. Yet does the life blood rush in a more healthy stream ? Does the pulse of the nation beat with a more generous rapture? Whom bath its wealth made happier ? Whom has its skill taught to shun the mo ra l pestilence that consumes its tens of thousands? Who m has its theory taught the high and paramount duty which man owes to the infirmities of his brother man ? There are men of many theories abroad. Some would build in the human race within parallelograms, and bid them go and practise virtue intuitively. Others wo u ld amputate tariffs and navigation laws, crying to all, the halt, and the blind, and the penniless, '• Go trade, and be rich." Some there are who, believing that society is hollow, false, and tottering, would restore long-forgotten rules, and bring the vague and casual charity of men under The cognizance and direction of the church. But these men are laughed at by the age. For is not the age utili tarian, and therefore wise ? But let all men, whether of theory or of practice, re member this—that within the most courtly precincts of the richest city on God a earth there may he found, night ifter night, winter after winter, women—young in years —old in sin and suffering—outcasts from society---ItOT riNG FILOM FAMINE. FILTH AND DISEASE. Let them emember this, and le,trn nut to theorlge, but to act. God knows, there is much room for action now-a-days. THE LIVERPOOL STANDARD COUNCIL PRoCEEDINGS A meeting of the Council, both a special meeting of that body, and as an adjourned mquthly, for the transac tion of the business lett undispoled of at the Council of the 4th instant, was held on Sa•urday. The Mayor took the chair soon after eleven o'clock, at which time there were thirty members present. ELECTION OP AN ALDERMAN The Council proceeded to elect an Alderman for Ex change Ward in the room of Wm. Earle, Esq., resigned. Mr. ASPINALL proposed Mr. James Lawrence, and Mr. WOOD seconded the motion. Mr. Honoson said there was not a more staunch or sound member than Mr. Lawrence on all the great prin ciples that influenced the majority of the Council. Mr. SHEPPARD and Mr. SANDS expreseed their ap probation and that of their constituents of the proposition. The Toting papers hs ,, ing been filled up and handed in, The MAYOR announced - , that the following thirty-six members (all who were in the Council at the time) had voted in favour of Mr. Lawrence—namely, Messrs. Toulmin, Griffith, Preston, Alderman Houghton, Plump ton, Crooke, Moon, R gby, Thornhill, Kilahaw, Thomp son, George Hall Lawrence, Boyden, H. Holmes, Copeland, Platt, Chilton, Molyneux, North. Bramley. Moore, Trotman, Shaw, Aspinall, J. Holmes. Procter, Cooper, Hodgson, Birkett, Sheppard, Parker, Brancker, Wood, Edwards, Bushell, Sands, and the Mayor. FIRS POLICZ An account of the Fire Police Department, signed by Capes Asblin, was read, showing that the income for the pest year had been £2,607 94. 6d., and the expenditure £3,254 7s. 7d., leaving a deficiency of £646 18s. ld., which, according to the Act of Parliament, had been paid out of the borough fund. Mr. PROCTER proposed a rate of a half-penny in the pound. He entered into some explanations of the ac count, stating that in consequence of extraordinary ex penses for new engines, &c., the sum to the credit of the department in the borough fund would be reduced from 42.400 to £1,600. Mr. THORN H ILL seconded the motion, which was car ried unanimously. ESTABLISRMINT OF A SAILORS' ROM* The MAYOR said the next subject on the paper was a motion of which notice had been given as follows, by Mr. Aikin :—" That it be referred to the Finance Committee to consider and report on the assistance that can be given by the Corporation to A Sailors' Home, by appropriation of land, or the use of a building. subject to resumption or otherwise." Prior to this motion being regularly brought before the Council, he begged to read a memorial from the shipmasters and seamen of the port, which had been adopted at a meeting beld at the Queen's Theatre, on Wednesday evening last, and forwarded through the chairman, Mr. John Smith. The memorial was here read at length. It set forth the anxiety felt by the sailors to have a Sailor's Home. Registry-office, and Savings' Bank speedily established, and the grievance under which they laboured in having to pay, the masters 2s. and the seamen Is. per month, to the Merchant Seamen's Fund without being able to receive corresponding benefits. They stated that the fund now amounted to £50,000 in Liverpool alone, and that that sum was now lying idle ; and they concluded by praying that the mal-administration of the fund might be taken into serious consideration, and that a committee might be appointed to watch over their interests generally. Mr. WOOD contended, that the shipmasters and sea men were much mistaken if they supposed that the trust was improperly managed in Liverpool, inasmuch as the seamen of the port were better off than they were else where, and as there were two or three times the pensions given here which were given in any other town in Eng land. He believed that, to the administration of the fund, the most strict and constant attendance was given, and that, if a visit to the office were only paid, the twist satis factory account could he rendered. Mr. Horsfall was the President in Liverpool, and Mr. Sandhach the Vice-pre sident. The accounts were regularly published. The orphan children of a shipmaster received 3s. a week, and others were paid in proportion ; but, at the same time, it was undoubtedly true, that the Act of Parliament pre scribed that no man could become a pensioner on the funds unless he were twenty-one years on the books, and that his family could not receive any benefit unless, he happened to be killed, slain, or drowned. Sir T. BRANCKER expressed his belief that the council had not any jurisdiction over the seamen. Mr. ASPIN ALL thought that, if there were a surplus of .£50,000 in Liverpool, it ought to be given to the poor men. Mr. HENRY HOLMES said that the interest was given, and th , ,t many widows were in the habit of receiving £4O and £5O each, according to the number of their children. Mr. AtalN believed that the prayer of the memorial could not be granted, because the committee, even if they were appointed, could not exercise any control over the fund. He wished not to have the memorial mixed up with the motion of which he had given notice. Mr. BRAMLEY MOORE thought it would he as well to suggest to the memorialists, that the Council was unable to do anything for them, and that the most proper course for them to pursue would be to apply to parliament. He believed that there were many very serious objections to the hill of which they complained, inasmuch as they were compelled to contribute to the funds without. in several instances, deriving any advantage. He understood that the new act upon the subject was a great improvement upon the old one, but that experience had shown, since it came into operation in 1825, that although it worked tolerably well, yet it pressed rather heavily upon the sailors. The MAYOR thought the subject very important, and that, according to the memorial, there appeared to be great abuses pervading the system. One, for instance, was, that if a sailor died a natural death, his family could not receive any relief unless the man himself should have been twenty-one years on the books. Mr. Amu.; inquired whether the Mayor had not, at a previous meeting, presented a memorial to the Council, signed by 9,000 seamen of the port, in favour of the establishment of a Sailors' Home The MAYOR replied in the affirmative : it had been signed by 9,402. Mr. A . ticiN said, it would be his duty, before he re deemed his promise on this very important subject, to present another memorial to the Council, signed, he he lieved, by almost all the respectable mercantile men of Liverpool; indeed, lie was strongly of opinion, that no memorial had ever been presented to that, or any other greit body, which contained a greater number of respect able signatures. The memorial was here opened by Mr. AIKIN, and by him and two or three other members conveyed to the Mayor. The document was several yards in length. bad evidently been signed by some thousands, and owing to its unwieldy dimensions, attractee, general attention, and also cawed much amusement. The MAYOR read it at length. It stated, that several meetings of the memorialists had been held in an interval extending over the last four years, with the view of im proving the condition of sailors and securing to the ship owners a plan for the more efficient manning of their ships. The result was that they conceived a Sailors' Home should be provided, combined with a Registry and Savings' Bank, and that subscriptions had been obtained for this purpose to the extent of £2.000, sufficient to show the interest which had been excited, but not sufficient to carry out the object in view. Various circumstances had combined to impede the progress of that object ; but, recently, public attention had once more been particularly called to it by the complaints of the seamen themselves. in conclusion, the memorialists prayed the council to take the subject into serious consideration, and to grant rt building for the purposes of a Sailors' Home, Registry-office, and Savings' Bank. Mr. ATKIN then proceeded, at some length, to state the reasons which had induced him to submit the motion, of which he had given notice, and which had been previously read by the Mayor. He commenced by expressing a hope, founded on the memorial which had just been submitted, and which was signed by so many of the wealthy and re spectable classes, that, at last, they would be enabled to do something for a class of men for whom more might be done than almost for any other, and yet for whom so little had hitherto been attempted. He knew there was a feel ing afloat, and that it existed in the minds of some of his most intimate friends, that the nature of the profession of the sailor, added to his recklessness of conduct, rendered it an almost hopeless task on their part to attempt to re deem him. From that proposition he dissented altogether. He believed that sailors possessed feeling and desires si milar to those of every other class, arid that if they saw an attempt made to redeem them from the position to which they were sunk, or to save them from the plunder to which they were exposed, their habits might be ins proved as well as the habits of any other class in society. He then proceeded to state some of the wrongs and evils to which the sailor was exposed, the causes which had produced those evils, and the most effectual remedies which ought to be applied. He said it was matter of daily occurrence that, the moment a vessel reached the port of Liverpool, the sailor was besieged by a number of persons who paid their court to him, made promises, took him to a lodging-house, and, as his wages were due, gave him credit. He treated them in return, and in the warmth of his heart, perhaps spent mote money than prudence would justify. This continued to go on for some time. Jack was in Elysium, with his smiling lass and flowing jug. But, after the lapse of a few days, when he received his wages, he generally found accounts pouring in upon him from the alopseller, the lodging-house keeper, and other parties, greater than he expected, and then he began to suspect those professions of regard which were showered on him upon his arrival. He then sallied forth into the street, met with a damsel who commisserated his position and denounced the base conduct of the vile and selfish creatures of whom he complained. He then went home with her, but he (Mr. Aiken) would not detail to the Council what passed there—(great laughter)—further than to say, that the unfortunate fellow, when he awoke in the morning, oftentimes discovered that he was not only pennyless, but that, in fact, he was without a rag to cover him, his money as well as his clothes having been abstracted. He (Mr. Aikin) knew an instance of a poor sailor who had been left in this condition, and who, find ing that he had not a remnant to put on, absolutely took up the bed and bed-covering and sallied forth into the street, thus making a capture of the only things within his reach. (Continued laughter.) In ninety-nine cases out of a hundred, however, such instances of plunder never were heard of. for the poor fellow himself, being stripped of all he possessed, having no means of redress, and not knowing where to apply for it, was obliged to fall back on the people who first received him ; and they, in turn, commiserated his fate, got him to mortgage his exertions fora month, and either sold or transferred him to any captain, his ship, or his v o y age ; b u t h e was o bli ge d to go to any r p mwaetrteersoms of th how dangeeroeuvlissthtoe sfhre choose s a e ge h n i s agent voyage or fatal the c li mate, for the purpose of getting clothes on or u o ac n rht a ci rcums t a nces ohhi:apthe back.th ewo rld , o h pleased. o s he was He was unable not otto a c which the sailor %Vas exposed. hut there were a great many others, one of which was, that he was not only robbed during his lifetime, but that he was robbed in anticipation of bis death ; for the parties with whom he thus dealt either got him to make a will before he went, or made one for him in his R score; and then, the moment his death WAS announced, hadministered to his effects, and robbed him again. The evils of which the shipowner and captain had to complain were very much caused by the evils under which the sailor himself suffered ; for Jack was not a reasoning animal ; he felt that the world bad plundered him, and he sallied forth on the first opportunity for the p rpose of revenging himself by plundering the public. Hence he deserted a ship when he reached a foreign port and could obtain a higher rate of wages, and in this man ner broke the agreement upon which he had originally set out. But, another great evil was, that a captain never knew, until he got to sea, whether he had got sailors or lubbers on board ; and the misfortune was, that the law afforded the cantain no relief in such a case, when he found himself in the middle of a dan gerous channel, without having, perhaps, a sufficient number of hands on board to navigate the ship. (Hear.) He (Mr. A.) had paid a great deal of attention to this subject, in common with many others, and, without go ing to the length of saying that his remedy would enable the sailors to jump from vice to virtue, he nevertheless believed that the foundation could be laid for a gradual improvement. (Hear, hear.) He concluded with the motion of which he had given notice. Mr. BRAMLEY.MOORE seconded the motion. He con. tended that there was no class of men in England more deserving of our sympathy than the merchant seamen ; and that there was no other body to whom the nation owed a deeper debt of gratitude, not excepting the navy, notwithstanding the brilliant achievements of the latter in every quarter of the globe. He dissented from those who alleged that sailors could not be tamed. If they had found a Van Amburgh to tame the lions, he believed that ,f they succeeded in getting sailors into the prepared building, they could not only tame, but reform them. From the year 1835 to 1841 no fewer than 13,000 sailors had been boarded and lodged in the London establish ment; while, in the course of one year, the large sum of £23,000 had been paid into the same establishment. Ha then referred to the manner in which Greenwich Hospital had been supported for a number of years by the contri butions of merchant seamen, without any of them having been ever known to be pensioned there ; after which he alluded to the debt of gratitude which the town of Liver pool in particular owed to this deserving class of men. He said that England had given the sum of twenty mil lions towards the emancipation of the negroes. and yet that during the late fire at Kingston the blacks looked on with Rpßthy, and refused to render any assistance. This, he observed, was the gratitude which England had re ceived from these worthless beings, while, if the same amount of money had been expended on the reclamation of the British sailors, the latter would not only have been thankful for the boon, but many of them would have been saved from ruin here, and ushered into a happy eternity hereafter. (Hear ) Mr. EVANS suggested to Mr. Aikin and those who acted with him the propriety of prevailing on the ship owners, as they cleared their ships, to give a halfpenny a ton towards the accomplishment of the object in view. So far as he was himself interested in shipping he would be willing to contribute in such a manner. Mr. G. H. LAWRENCE assured the Council, that the Finance Committee would willingly undertake the duty which the motion, if carried, would impose upon them; but, still, he thought it would he too hard to ask the Cor poration to put its hand into its pocket and bear the ex pense of the proposed scheme, while mernoriaiists, by pay ing the tax suggested by Mr. Evans, or by putting a sum of £5 or £lO opposite their respective names, could ma terially assist the object in view, and render the institution prosperous. (Hear.) Mr. Aikin had said that his proposal would not render necessary any demand upon the borough fund ; but, if they were to give up the building, which afforded a residence to Mr. Whitty, they would have to find another residence, and to bear the contingent ex penses, which would involve an outlay of £lOO a year at least. This, however, would he an expense which the Corporation would not oppose if they saw the good Mr. Aikin anticipated likely to be realized. He maintained, that a great improvement had taken place amongst sailors in late years, and that the establishment of shipping offices had effected a great improvement when compared with the system which had previously existed. He concluded by expressing his willingness to forward the object in view. Mr. BUSHELL could not exactly agree with Mr. Law rence. He thought the Corporation ought to become the originators of such a scheme as the present, and that they were bound to set the example to the town, and to give funds in order to form a nucleus, around which others might exhibit a disposition to carry out so desirable an ob ject, . . . . . . Mr. PARKER thought it might be necessary for a " little mind" on rising. to make some apology, particularly when be meant to strip the discussion of some of the gaudy at tire in which it bad been covered by preceding speakers. Ile looked upon the sailors as highly respectable and wor thy of their situation. (A laugh ) There was no class he felt more for. But the Council were assembled, not for the purpose of upholding the interests of the sailors in par ticular, but those of the community at large with which they were connected. They had the poor porters at the docks for instance, who did not earn ss. a week on an average, while the sailor received his £2 a month, and got plenty of employment and good food. Mr. BLACKBURN landed the exertions of the Seamen's Friend Society, and referred to its advantages to the maritime interest of the port, coupled as those advan tages had been with the prevailing spread of temperance and total abstinence among the sailors themselves. He had been told that it was the intention of the parties who sought for the institution in question to have a chaplain, perhaps a paid chaplain. but a chaplain at all events. He quite agreed that religious instruction ought to be pro vided ; hut, then, the subject was surrounded with diffi culties, for who was the the ch•+plain to he? Mr. BIRKETT : A clergyman of the Church of England. Mr. BLACKBURN contended, that, if they only appoint ed one clergyman for one denomination, they .could be guilty of a violation of the plain and obvious meaning of the Municipal Corporations Act, and the borough fund should never be appropriated for anything of an exclusive character. Mr. BraicErr regretted that Mr. Blackburn had intro duced a subject which, as a matter of course, must create contention. He believed that public worship was gener ally conducted on hoard vessels, at present, on the Sab bath day. although the revers- was the case when he was a boy ; and he thought that much more might he done for the sailors if the shipowners took pains to ascertain the cha racters of the captains. He held it be for the general advantage that the people should he instructed in the doctrines of the Chnrch of England, believing, as he did, that the Church of England taught the way of God in truth ; that every man who taught the principles of the Establishment did his duty to the country and the town ; and that those who taught dissent were, in proportion, enemies to the country and the town.—(Laughter.) He did not make this remark with any feeling of disrespect towards Mr. Blackburn ; but he certainly thought, that, when a man was brought up to the established religion, he was sure not to he a Radical ; and they all knew, that to he a Radical was to be a discontented, unhappy being. —(Great Laughter.) Mr. tIODGSON thought, that, if the captains and mer chants had done their duty, the sailors would not have been in their present lamentable position. He contended, that, in the important matter of religious truth, the ma jority of the council should pursue one plan only, and that they. in this Protestant country, could not unite in that mixture, that olla Podridda, which some would have them to support. Upon the religious side of the question he should vote in favour of the principles of the Church of England. He concluded by expressing his regret at their having got into any personality on that occasion, the more particularly as there did not appear to be any occasion whatever for it. Mr. A IKIN briefly replied, after which the motion was unanimously agreed to. PORTRAIT OF MR. RATHBONI The MAYOR announced, that the last subject on the paver was a letter from Thomas Booth, Esq., proposing that a portrait of William Rathbone, E.q., should he re ceived by the council for the council-chamber. He said he should like to receive the instructions of the council as to the reply he was to make to the letter, which had stood over now for some time, and also as to the course that was to be followed. (A pause.) Mr. HORNBY, as the mover of the reception of the pic ture in the first instance, said he had no authority what ever to withdraw the offer, as it had not been made by him, or any one in connexion with him. He should de cline to take any further part in the business, except to state, that he had done all he could, but ineffectually, to induce the parties to withdraw the offer. He thought the council had better avoid discussion and proceed at once to the vote. Mr. AIKIN proceeded to remark on the general praise bestowed upon Mr. Rathbone, by both parties as well as by the tory press, for his impartiality and ability when acting as chief magistrate of the town, and said that it was in consequence of such public expressions of approbation that a number of the members of the council were induced to subscribe for his portrait, and to present it to the coun cil at the present time. Mr. BLACKBURN suggested that they proceed at once to the vote • and moved that Mr. Booth' a offer be accepted, and that the painting be placed in the Council-chamber. Mr. Honosorr objected to the Council being tongue tied by any member. There had been a great deal of skill in the mode of bringing the subject forward ; and if the picture itself was not a work of art, the manner of offering it was very artful. (A laugh.) Divesting the proposition of all attempts to deceive, it was impossible not to view it as a party proceeding. They were called upon most especially to consider the political character of Mr. Rath bone, and not his gentlemanly conduct whilst filling the civic chair. He had been elected Mayor of the borough solely because of his political opinions being in accordance with those of the majority of that day ; and how could the Council, constituted as it was at present, receive his picture, when he had himself tried constituencies out of doors who would not have him ? The Council would be quailing in the performance of their duty if they com mended Mr. Rathbone in his public capacity. They were a political body, and could never exist without acting in and for a party. What evidence was there that til i j.iberal p ar ty, when in the majority, would have accepted of the portrait of one of their opponents ? On the contrary, had they not filled all their offices with persons representing their own political views? and had they not displaced Mr. Case's picture i n o r d er to h ave Mr. Currie's in the beat light ? (A lau g h.) H e thought the discussion on t hi s subject would g i ve i ncreased strength to the tory party a t the ensuing ele c ti on ; and he concluded by moving, as an amendment, that th e M a y or ac k now l e d ge the reception of Mr. Booth' s l et t er , an d t h at t h e portra it be respectfully declined.
