DAY 110R2 G, JUNE 10, 1851 SOME five or six men of Manchester met one day in a counting-house in Market-street; and the result was the organization icceeded in prostrating the native agriculture and industry of Great Britain, sing completely its entire fiscal and F.

The entire press of the country de nounced them. They bought, or won, an influential portion of that press to their side by their indo mitable courage and earnestness. The strength of party in the legislature was against them; yet they triumphed ultimately over, and used for the ad vancement of their own purposes, one of the most powerful governments that ever held office in the British empire, supported by a majority in parlia ment, returned by the constituencies for the express purpose of protecting native industry, and frus trating the success of their dangerous policy. They did all this, in the face of obstacles unparalleled ; and they carried their measure at length amidst the cheers of a delighted, although a deluded people. startled even t One of the main causes of this success was the fact that these men, and the class for which they t their hands in their pockets ! They did not trust solely to their own exertions, great as these were. They paid lecturers to go forth amongst the people. They distributed waggon-loads of tracts throughout the country. They sought out talent ; and rewarded its efforts in their service. They pa tronised liberally their own press. They used, in short, human means, and wise means too, to bring about the result they aimed at, instead of sitting down in boles and corners, in clubs and at banquets, in complaining and disconsolate mood, contented with the " hear, hears" of their own set. They enunciated their opinions to the nation, not to They carried their agitation into the midst r's camp. But the crowning circum stance was—they subsci coteries of the enem ed their money ! Then, and not till then, it was that the London Times proclaimed to the world that the Anti-Corn-law League was— " a great fact." Now, the Protectionist party in this country — the landowners, the farmers, and the industrial classes dependent upon agriculture—require a revi sion of our present suicidal policy. How do these ? Have they any powerful organization ? ley open their purse-strings, and afford to the heir side of the question, an access to the reason and They do none of these. grumble, tight button-up their pockets, men rn Do nt, which is on tt ortunity of gaini of the publie? when our sovereigns came back again. Will the Manchester Guardian have the kindness to tell us who had the benefit during this state of things ? We shell tell him ourselves. They were the Lord Overstones of the community. They were the men who devised this system, by which the drones in the hive periodically abstract the accumulated earnings of the working bees. The Manchester Guardian takes exception to our remark that, " in part," the enormous reduction in the price of cotton was caused by " a money paralysis," owing to the Bank of England sheaving week - after week an abstraction of gold from the country. He says, " Where was this paralysis, or panic, heard of except at Liverpool ?" Suppose we admit that it v;•as felt no where else. The con clusion is then obvious that Liverpool has a just right to ask for an expansion of the currency. Liverpool has to hold the stocks of raw materials and foreign produce, which Manchester has for months past prided herself in, buying merely " from hand to mouth." Under a correct mone tary system ought it to affect prices at all, because Liverpool, instead of Manchester holds the cotton, grain, &c. required for the consumption of the manufacturing districts ? Certainly, it ought not. He contends too that " there has never been the slightest difficulty" in London, Manchester, Leeds, or Birmingham, " in getting good mercantile paper discounted at a very low rate of interest." -Good mercantile paper ! But there have been times when " ordinary," and " fair to middling" was easy to get discounted. There have been times, too, under our present monetary system, when not only the very best paper was refused, but even silver was valueless as a convertible commodity. The fact is, as the Guardian knows, that the Bank of England and the money power under our present system play at fast and loose with the enterprise and industry of the country. One day we are encouraged to speculate—and this very law was to repress specula, ion ; the next we are crushed by the very wheels which set us in motion. The bank itself our monitor—runs into riot and excess; and then renders us the victims cf its own avarice and folly. What was the evidence of the governor of the Bank of England before the Lords' Committee in 184 S ? We beg the Guardian's attention to only two questions and their answers—' " You had only £1,600,000 in the banking department for the payment of your liabilities ? Yes. If any body had called upon you for anything beyond that million and a half, you must hare stopped payment I Yes we must !" Now we ask of the Guardian to tell us how many eminent and wealthy merchants were ruined by the effort of the hank to sustain itself in this, or in other similar crises. We ask him what was the loss sustained by Manchester on the occasion. "We venture to remind him that, after all this ruin, the Bank of England, and the money power of England, emerged triumphant, as they have always done since this accursed system came into operation, gorged with the spoils of honest and industrious men, by an act of the government releasing them from the very responsibility—payment in gold— which had been imposed upon the entire British people. It is such a system that the merchants of Liverpool seek to upset; a system which renders the best considered investments, or speculations, mere games of chance. The Manchester people, and the Guardian, their organ (proh pudor !) may, in their ignorance or selfishness, or for some un fathomable motive, support it; but, in spite of fate, England will put it down. PARLIAMENT seems determined to continue its do-nothing policy. The Pope, who is too weak to sustain his authority in his own country, is now virtually ruling, through "the members for Rome," this mighty empire; and Lord John Russell seems inclined "to have it so." The following remarks from the John Bull of Saturday are justly called for " If the last week was barren of Parliamentary events, the present week is, if possible, more barren still. The house of Lords, which might be so usefully employed in the consideration of the various grave and important questions which call for the interposition of wise and well-considered legislation, continues doomed to inaction, while the House of Commons is dividing its time between abortive motions and the interminable Anti-Papal debate. Monday consumed in negativing amendments on the second clause, without one single step in advance ; Tues day lost by a count out ; Wednesday thrown away in dis cusing Tuesday's waste of time, and rejecting Lord Mel gund's Bill ; Thursday frittered away upon water and chi cory, brought down to the end of the week but a sorry account of the progress of public business, the deficiencies of which are indifferently balanced by the record of last night's proceedings." " While the House of Commons is, on this side of St. George's Channel, struggling for liberty to vindicate the dignity of the Crown and the independence of the king dom. under the t7.-o -fold drawback of factious opposition and of imbecile leadership, the Popish hierarchy in Ire land is, under the complacent rule of the Earl of Claren don, organising a formidable resistance, not only to all future legislation, but, it is to be feared, to whatever law parliament may succeed in enacting this session. Throw ing themselves with all their might into the political arena, the Pope's lieutenants in Ireland are fanning the flame of popular passion and: of religious animosity, and more than abetting the establishment of an irnperitirn in tmperio, which is intended to counterbalance the Queen, the three estates of the realm, and the voice of the British people, with a view to the overthrow of the true Church and faith in the United Kingdom, and the triumphant establishment of Romish superstition and tyranny in their place. We refer our readers more especially to the mani festo of the Firebrand of St. Jarlath's, for the true cha racter of the movement which is going on undisturbed in the sister island, while Lord John Russell is doing his best to make parliament stultify itself." Through the sole characteristic Christian generosity of two ladies closely related to T. B. Horsfall Esq., the assistance of an efficient clergyman is for the present maintained at St. Matthew's Church, Scotland-road. The gentlemen is now living in South Carolina who as sisted in packing the first bag of cotton sent to Liverpool from the United States. The consignee of this lone bag of cotton informed the merchants who sent it that he sell it, that it was valueless, and advised them could not to send no more. Lord John Russell has announced, that the Govern ment will defray the expense of the passage-money of ninety Ilungarians to New York, and of their subsistence during the time they may remain in Southampton, wait ing for arrangements to be made for their passage to the United States. BURGLARY.—Yesterday, at the Police-court, two men were remanded on a charge of having burglariously entered the house of a person named Jones, in Leeds street, on the 10th ultimo, and stolen some wearing apparel and other articles. Three women were also remanded on a charge of receiving the same. RONIISII CONTROVERSY. —We received last night copies of the admirable lectures delivered lately at St. John's Church, by the Rev. Dr. M'Neile and the Rev. J. B. Lowe. They are published at a low price, which will, doubtless, extend their circulation ; and the eloquent and scriptural arguments of the two talented divines deserve to be spread far and wide. The publisher has produced them in a very neat and creditable form. FATAL ACCIDENT.—On Thursday last, Jilt).

Yet they have in hand a noble, a just, and an undeniably true cause.

Let them throw themselves upon the people; in doctrinate the people ; show up the rottenness and folly of our present system ; face their opponents boldly, with their own weapons, and be grateful to their long-tried friends and the advocates of their righteous cause; and they may depend upon it that an amount of success, far beyond their expec tations, will crown their efforts. We beg to call attention to the truly Christian letter of the Rev. R. W. Wolseley, in reply to his _ _ustly asserts his perfect right as a ister of the Gospel to address to his fellow gs the exhortations of the Gospel in art of the district under his cure. He has sys studiously avoided, whilst so doing, contro . He has never found the people, r Rornanists or not, indisposed, if left to Wolsele7 mi hu an al, ml pre tb- their own free will, to listen to him. His meritori ous efforts in the ragged schools to advance the temporal and eternal interests of the children of the poor, have won for him the gratitude of hundreds, even amongst the generally callous and unreflect nd we fancy ourselves that here is the sore in the minds of his revilers. We may tell people that, if such outrages as occurred to a reverend gentleman in Standish-street, and the slanders, with which he has since been assailed, he persisted in, Englishmen will begin to ask them selves the question whether the Established Pro testant Religion of the Land can be said to enjoy toleration, or is to be put down by brute force. We wish all our clergy were as well known by the poor, and as highly esteemed as the worthy and indefatigable curate of St. John's. giIIrOMMINIMMII Hz Manchester Guardian's reply to our last irks addressed to him contains nothing which But, like the writings of all a ect rejoinder ning persons, it is suggestive ry takes it for granted—and we are he should do so—that the merchants pool have been " compelled to hold more on than was felt convenient under existing cir !stances."

A PRACTICAL MERCHANT'S OPINION OF OUR MONETARY SYSTEM. In their circular of the 4th instant, Messrs. T. and H. Littledale, after noticing the fortunate influx of the paltry sum of £315,000 into the Bank coffers, which has had the effect of relieving the commercial world of the dread of a monetary crisis, remark : " Another week or two of diminished stock in the Bank, and the directors would, no doubt, have raised the rate; and what could have been more uncalled for, nay, absolutely more un just at such a moment as the present ;—no commercial specu lations on foot,—six months of almost unprecedented dulness in trade, —prices of nearly every article of import moderate and below cost, and yet, i f from anti cause, however accidental, the Bank had lost another half-million or bullion, it would have taken a step that would, in an instant, reduce the value of produce alone in the hands of merchants and manufacturers ten or twenty times that sum I" This is truly a lamentable state of things ! Such a mone tary system as this, still tolerated, is degrading to the intellect of a great commercial nation.

COMMERCIAL AND MONETARY NEWS. Monday Night, Our Colonial markets continue depressed. On Satur day 2,500 bags of low brown and 500 bags middling white East India Sugar were sold at lower prices, the former at an average of 28s. 3d. per cwt. To-day 500 bags of low to fine white Benares sold at 39i. 6d. to 425. 9d. The Cambria arrived yesterday from Boston. The ad vices by her are rather more in favour of holders of Cotton, inasmuch as the receipts were at last beginning to slacken, and the decline in price had not been more than half of the late decline in this market. This has given rather more confidence, and the sales to-day reach 8,000 bales, 1000 of which were taken on speculation at extreme rates. 'The opinions of Messrs. Littledale and Co. are now looked forward to monthly with great interest, and the following extract from their last circular deserves the attention of the commercial public : "The month of May has been characterised by the some dull apathetic spirit in our produce markets which has pre vailed, with but few interruptions, since the opening of the year; the improved tone to which we alluded at the beginning of the month quickly passed off, and all our leading imports— Cotton, Silk, Wool, Sugar, Tea, Rice, and Indigo have alike become depressed in price, though not to the same extent, and difficult of sale without submitting to a sacrifice. The demand for the first named article—Cotton—has certainly increased considerably in the last week or fortnight; but, after a decline in value, quite unprecedented in the same space of time since 1825, and with the least apparent cause. Though we cannot but regret the heavy losses which present holders will suffer by the fall, it will, no doubt, have a beneficial influence in giving a fresh stimulus to trade at large—all the buyers of manufac tures, whether for home use or export, as well as the manu facturers themselves, in the purchase of the raw material ap pear to have lost confidence, and their operations were conse quently more and more circumscribed. In fact, though our exports have kept up in a wonderful manner in spite of the high price of Cotton, it is well known that lately they have been doing little or no good to the senders, and when the con dition of the great mass of the consumers of our cotton fabrics abroad is considered—the inhabitants of India,—the poorest of the poor,—of China and the East,—of South America and the Pacific Islands,—it is quite evident that low prices can alone ensure a progressive developement of this branch of our na tional industry, on which, under the present system of our legislation, our commerce is so mainly dependent. Prices of Colonial produce must be considered tolerably safe, and our stocks are not excessive." The opinions expressed by well-informed writers in the United States, on the subject of the decline in Cotton, bear out our own remarks that it has been caused as much by a money-panic as by the reported increase in the crop of Cotton. Messrs. Talcott and Co., in their circular of the 26th May, speaking of the Baltic's advices, say " the ac counts led to the conclusion that a monetary, not a cot ton, panic raged in Liverpool, and that but one idea was uppermost, namely, " to sell, price being a secondary ob ject ;" and the writers add : " Our own views in relation to crops remain the same as last advised, namely, that the receipts, now lessening, by the latest telegraphic reports from the Southern markets, will not, in the aggregate, reach 2,300,600 bales, and, in addition to this, we have the most positive advices, even from those who would be deemed worthy of credit in Manchester, that the present plant ing season is a very late one. The supply from a crop of even 2,350,000 bales, following that from a crop . of 2,096,00 bales, with good trade and light stocks of goods, is too small to au thorize the continuance of such prices as those advised per Baltic, longer than the existence of a panic, during which, of course, no sound judgment or business talent is brought into requisition." Although the imports of Breadstuffs into this port have not recently been quite so heavy as usual, yet this does not seem to have arisen from any deficiency in the supply which the foreigner has to send us, for on Wednesday and Thursday sixteen vessels arrived for orders at Queens town, laden with foreign Corn, and since our Friday's market, viz., in the last two working days, we have re ceived into this port :—Coastwise, Wheat 159 qrs., Malt 800 qrs., Oats 19 qrs. ; United States, Indian Corn 9,682 qrs., Flour 9,416 brls. ; Europe, &c., Wheat 7,933 qrs., Barley 1,170 qrs., Beans 3,095 qrs., Indian Corn 2,015 qrs., Flour 8591 sacks; total, Wheat 8.092 qrs., Barley 1,170 qrs., Malt 800 qrs., Oats 19 qrs., Beans 3,095 qrs., Indian Corn 11.697 qrs., Flour 8,591 sacks and 9,416 brls. Our Share Market has been firm since our last publica tion, and prices from a preponderance of sales have declined generally. The amount of business done has been very small, and the greater portion of the sales speculative. To day there has been some slight rally with evidences of stock being scarce for the settlement. We annex the prices : Aberdeen, ll ; Caledonian, 13 ; East Lancashire, 15 148 ; Old Leeds, 554 5 4 ; Do.

The increase of railway traffic for last week over that for the corresponding week of last year has been,—upon the Glasgow and South-Western, £6BO ; the East Lanca shire, £720 ; the London and South-Western, £1,240 ; the Lancashire and Yorkshire, £1,630 ; the South- Eastern, £2,040 ; the Great-Western, 3,550 ; and the London and North-Western, £6,200. The Great- Western traffic for the present week will be, it is stated, about £5,000 above that for the corresponding week of 1850. Messrs, Vianna, Jones, and Co., of Water-street, have presented four of their clerks with £lO each, to visit the Exhibition, and we hear that other leading firms in the Mediterranean trade are about following their example. Rector Campbell, chairman of the Select Vestry, accompanied by Mr. Cardwell, M.P., had an interview with the Right Hon. H. Labouchere on Friday, at the Board of Trade. The Albion states that Lord John Manners purposes explaining his views to the electors of Liverpool on the Papal question. We know not what truth there may be in the rumour, but a fashionable correspondent informs us that his lordship is about to be married—probably to-day. The weather since our last has been extremely variable. On Wednesday a very heavy storm of hail fell in the even ing, the icy particles being unusually large: On Saturday Sunday, and yesterday much rain again descended. On Sunday we had a heavy gale of wind from the westward. A contemporary says that there is every probability of the Birkenhead Dock Bill being successful before the committee, the proposed alterations having been already sanctioned by several of the official departments. The committee meet on Tuesday n ;xt. FATALITY ON BOARD BHIP.—On the 14th ultimo, John Cunningham, a cotton porter, who resided in Henderson-street, was working on board a vessel, when a bale of cotton fell upon him. As soon as possible, the injured man was conveyed to the Southern Hospital, where death put a period to his sufferings on Sunday last. ROYAL AMPHITHEATRE.—The public will not have an opportunity after the present week of witnessing the splen did performances of Mr. G. V. Brooke and Mr. Barry Sullivan. In consequence of their extraordinary success, it will be seen that they will again appear alternately as " Othello" and " Ingo." ATTEMPTED Sulc!DE.—About one o'clock yesterday morning, the neighbourhood of Cheapside was thrown into a state of great excitement, by the report that a female of advanced years. named Graham, had cut her throat. A police constable, who heard the report, went to a house in No. 9 court, Cheapside, where he found the poor creature in a dreadful state. Surgical and other assistance was immediately called in. Messrs. llarnden and - Co., of this town, have estab lished a line of steam-ships to run from Boston to this port. The first vessel of the line is now ready, and is named the S. S. Lewis. She is of 1800 tons burden, and will be commanded by Captain Barstow, already well known for his skill and assiduity as an ocean navigator. These steam-ships are said to be equal to anything afloat. The first vessel will leave Boston on the first of July. THE TOWN SURVEYORSHIP OF LONDONDERRY.—Our talented borough engineer, Mr. Newlands, was recently permitted by the Council to report to the Corporation of Londonderry on the capabilities of gentlemen presenting themselves for the si►uation of town surveyor for that city. Mr. Newlands, in an able report, informs the Cor poration of the maiden city that not one of the candidates possesses the requisite qualifications, and the Council have therefore determined to advertise again for a person to fill the office. SERIOUS CASK OF STABBING.—On Saturday night, constable 165 was attracted to a cellar in Banastre-street, by some unusual noise, and upon entering, found a man lying on the floor, bleeding from a wound in the back. lie was taken to the hospital, where it was attended to, and yesterday morning he appeared at the police court to charge a woman named Mary Jones with having com mitted the act. The man, whose name is Edward Slater, said that atter he returned from the hospital she stabbed him in the breast with a fork. A surgeon from the hos pital stated that the wound on the back had been inflicted by a table knife, arid penetrated from an inch and a-half to two inches, and was only prevented penetrating the chest by its lateral direction : the wound on the chest was exactly over the region of the heart, and would have been fatal had not the instrument struck on a rib. The woman wag remanded. WHITSUNTIDE IN LIVERPOOL, The Whitsuntide Holydays have not, this year, so far, brought with them their wonted number of pleasure seeking visitors to the shores of the Mersey. This was expected, and the reason is not involved in any proble matical mystery. The attractions of the metropolis of Lancashire have been obscured by the increased induce ment held out for paying a visit to the city of the world ; the Great Exhibition is the grand focus to which all pleasure's rays converge. Not to be a visitor to the " World's Fair" would argue a want of taste and a vulgarity of apprehension ; and the attractions held out in the palace of glass are suffieie - et to induce all to pay it a visit. Hence, added to the fact that the whole of the factories have not yet ceased operations, may be attri buted the diminution of visitors to that of former years, notwithstanding, however, the number of persons brought up by railway yesterday was very considerable. The London and North-Western line, on Sunday, brought a cheap train containing upwards of five hundred passen gers from Manchester; and yesterday, from Sheffield, a similar train, containing upwards of 700 passengers, The whole number of persons brought by the excursion trains on this line may be computed at between three and four thousand, and these are principally from the neighbour hoods of Manchester, Sheffield, Leeds, Greenfield, Mac clesfield, Stockport, Preston, Stafford, and the Potteries. Considerable as the arrivals by this line have been they fall short of that of the previous years. The same re mark will also apply to the East Lancashire and Yorkshire Railway. The arrivals by the first-named line numbered 3,b50, principally consisting of temperance parties and school-children from the neighbourhood of Skipton, Blackburn, Preston, and Rose Grove. By a very admira ble and simple arrangement, adopted by the East Lan cashire Company, all difficulty in ascertaining the number contained in each excursion-train is done away with ; and not only is the number of passengers readily ascer tainable, hut also the place whence they come and where they go, under whose conductorship, and the name or kind of persons of which the excursion parties are com posed : thus,—Temperance Society, 1,000; Young Men's Society, 300; Primitive Methodist Schools,1,000; and so on with the hours each train returns and other necessary information. These facts are ascertained by a printed tabular form ranged in columns. These particulars are not by any means unimportant, as they give a tolerably good criterion of the moral and industrial condition of the manufacturing districts. By the means alluded to we ascertain that the movements on the East Lancashire line yesterday were as follows : From Colne to Patricroft ..... . „ Blackburn to Ditto „ Skipton to Liverpool „ Blackburn to Ditto „ Ditto to Blackpool.. .... „ Ditto to Fleetwood.. . „ Ditto to Ditto „ Ditto to Blackpool ..... „ Ditto to Houghton .. „ Preston to Liverpool „ Ditto to Ditto . . „ Burnley to Blackpool .... ~ Rose Grove to Liverpool ....

The great bulk of the visitors consisted of persons con. nected with temperance societies, clubs formed for raising an excursion fund, public schools, and schools connected with different bodies of religionists. _ The day proved exceedingly unpropitious, and the "return" anything but comfortable, for it was not a little piteous to see the thousands who in the morning had donned their gayest attire in honour of a visit to cur town, return in the evening all drabbled and bedaubed, thoroughly /wet to the skin, and altogether in a form most questionable and uncomfortable. Yesterday, at an early hour in the morning, our noble river exhibited a splendid sight, every approach to the various piers being crowded with holiday people from the manufacturing districts, seeking enjoyment and the re freshing saline breezes. The Great Landing-stage at George's Pier was the central resort ; and as nearly every body of excursionists brought its own band of :music, the scene was rendered still more enlivening as the gay crowds embarked for one or other of the Cheshire ferries. A number of our large9t tug-boats made trips during the day round the Floating-light. The Welsh boats drafted off thousands to Bangor, Beaumaris, and the Menai Straits. The Isle of Man steamer Tynwald left at eleven o'clock in the forenoon, with nearly 700 passengers on board ; 170 more, bound also for the island, arrived from Sheffield too late for the boat ; and about 200 more from Leeds werein the like predicament. Throughout the morn ing Cheshire was alive with parties, obviously not natives, each party carrying a basket containing the indispensibles for a pic-nic, having apparently fancied that they were about to adventure into some desert country, where there were no shops, no butchers or bakers, no gridirons, no liquids, wherewith to refresh the inner man, and wash the dust out of their throats. Unfortunately for the comfort of these excursionists, the afternoon brought with it a fall of rain, which drove them from the enjoyment of parks and howling-greens, and from inhaling the pure air of the fields and the sea-shore, to shelter ►n what ever houses of entertainment opened their hospitable doors. This Whitsuntide the favours of the multitude seem likely to he more equally divided than in past years. The Seacombe boats, with their reduced fare of one penny, carried a fair proportion of passengers, all the world not being bound to New Brighton or to Woodside, and many chosing to see two ferries and two descriptions of scenery for their money. The Birkenhead Great Float was an attraction added since last year; and the walk by Sea combe Ferry past the float, and thence to Birken head-park, found many admirers. During the forenoon the Seacombe green and gardens presented a lively scene ; and most other similar places of resort benefited as well. The sights presented on the return of the various excur sion boats, &c.—the draggled dresses of the women and the drenched appearance of the males—may, as the gen tlemen of the press sit) , " better be imagined than de scribed." TO THE HEALTH COMMITTEE. GNITEMEN,—We noticed in the newspapers Mr. Davis is reported to have told your committee he had employed additional men in our deserted street, and as we are told the parapet must first be completed, we ex pected to see greater force there : but the same man* and his boys continued to do all that was done last week, and to day, although it was fine for seven working hours, the flagger never made his appearance at all ; consequently the boys flagged for want of a director. But it is only what we have been doing for months past for want of customers. And now we ask, in the name of common honesty, cannot the remaining stones be put into a small compass, and the street paved at once ? It is perfectly impassable, being ancle deep in mud. Are labourers so scarce, the town so poor, or are the committee determined to ruin Yours obediently, OLD POOL-LANE. South Castle-street, June 9th, 1851. He says assistance was never offered by Mr. D. THE MAJESTY OF THE POLICE.—Mr. Win. Ritterman, a foreign gentleman, and James Brierley, a young man of respectable appearance, appeared before the magistrates yesterday to answer the charge of obstructing the police in the execution of their duty. They appeared at the table, having been bailed out of bridewell. Constable 684 stated that about nine o'clock on Saturday night, as he was taking a drunken man to bridewell, the two gentle men named above interfered, and he swore that Ritterman struck him, upon which he called for assistance, and took the parties into custody. Mr. Ritterman stated that on Saturday night, as he was returning home along Great Horner-street, he obserired the officer 684 at the end of Roscommon-street ; he had a drunken man in custody. The man had previously been brought up and discharged, whose wife was endeavouring to get him home. This, however, did not appear to meet the idea of law and justice held by the officer, and he seized the poor woman by the breast, pushing her to and fro in the most violent manner. Mr. Ritterman expostulated, and observed to the man that, as his prisoner was proceeding quietly with him, there was no necessity for abusing the woman in the way he was, and concluded by hinting that he was ex ceedine the limits of his duty. This was no sooner done than 684 rushes on his new foe, and, seizing him by the coat, at once relieves that garment of two buttons, ditto the waistcoat ; and, by this time requiring aid to retain all his captures, allows the drunken man and his wife a brief respite while he drags Mr. Ritterman by the collar up and down the street, at the same time making the toms lity resound by the echo of the blows of his stick upon the ground—the signal for help. Ultimately this arrived in the shape of two other officers, when the two prisoners already alluded to, as well as Brierley, who had also inter fered, were conveyed to the Rose-hill station. Two ladies, one of the name of Martin and the other of Beam, who witnessed the scene between Mr. Ritterman and the officer, agreed in stating that the former just tapped the man on the shoulder in order to draw his attention to him, and then mildly remonstrated, when he was seized by the constable, and dragged about as before stated. Mr. Lee, a shopkeeper in the neighbourhood, gave evidence to the same effect, es did several other persons, who all agreed that Mr. Ritterman never struck the constable at all. The defendant Brierley said that he was conducting a friend home, who, being rather intoxicated, interfered with the officer, when he (witness) was also seized, and taken to bridewell. This witness described the conduct of the officer as most brutal towards the female, whom he handled more like a horse than a woman. Mr. Bromelaw, addressing the defendant Ritterman, said—as a foreigner he had, perhaps, acted in ignorance of the customs of the country ; but he should advise him in future not to inter fere with policemen in the execution of their duty. The case was dismissed. Mr. Ritterman observed that he had received a lesson he should never forget. To THE CURIOUS.—Our readers will perceive by an advertisement in another part of our paper that Mr. Colles has returned to his former apartments in Bold street,—numerous inquiries having been made for him during his short absence. It will be perceived likewise that he has divided his day into two divisions,—the ad mission during the later part of the day being reduced to one shilling. We do not think Mr. C. will lose anything by this, as few, very few, will visit him who will not feel themselves compelled by curiosity to become purchasers. LIVERPOOL IN 1841 AND IN 1851 The population of Liverpool, as shown by the census of 1841, was as follows : Liverpool Parish...., Everton, Kirkdale, Toxteth-park, and West 1 71,174 Derby .. 189,242 Total population of borough The census of this year shows the following results ; Liverpool Parish, males „ females Out Townships Total population of borough Being an increase, in round numbers, of 123,900 souls, or nearly 50 per cent. If we were to take into account the population spread over the adjacent places of Walton, Aintree, Wavertree, Woolton, Aigburth, &c., and those located on the Cheshire side of the river, the increase would be still more considerable. In commercial facilities we have more than kept pace with the increase of our population. We possess now 200 acres of dock space, of which above one-half are of new creation. The revenue of our Dock Estate, which was, in 1841, £175,506, was last year £211,743, notwith standing the rates were reduced in 1844 and in 1848, on the latter occasion by about 40 per cent. The amount paid by .Liverpool to the customs has also increased largely, although the duties upon some of the most impor tant of our imports have either been repealed, or greatly reduced. The improvements effected since 1841 in the architecture, the streets, and the sanitary condition of the town, afford also conclusive evidence of our rapid progress. Several new manufactories and spinning mills are at present being erected at Blackburn, and all the subsidiary trades are active and prosperous. On Saturday, the steam-ship Niagara, Captain Leitch, left the Mersey, for New York direct, with the usual mails for the United States and British provinces, and upwards of 70 passengers. The day was rather unfavour able, but she proceeded to sea punctually, without casualty of any kind. SUB-MARINE TELEGRAPH COMPANY:—A company, under the above title, has just been formed for the pur pose of constructing a line of telegraphic intercourse con necting Great Britain with France, under the concession obtained by Joseph Brett, from the French government, at the end of last year. The grand features of the under taking are the ultimate establishment of an universal and instantaneous communication throughout the whole of Europe ; and the advantages it will afford to India and America for the conveyance of the above news brought by the India mail, which, on its arrival at Trieste or Mar seilles, may be delivered, printed in Roman type, simul taneously at Paris and London—and at Liverpool, in readiness for the departure of the American mail. The several departments of the English government have ex pressed their approbation of the undertaking. ECCLESIASTICAL MUSIC.—The Rev. Richard Wall, the esteemed incumbent of St. Anne's Church, Birken head, has delivered, in the school room connected with the church, two of a series of lectures on church music, with a view to induce the congregation to join more generally in the musical services of his church. The lectures have been most interesting and instructive, and were very ably illustrated by the excellent amateur choir which has long and efficiently conducted the music of St. Anne's Church, and certainly in very few places is that important and beautiful portion of divine worship carried on with better taste or effect than in this well arranged building. Much credit is, we understand, due for this desirable result to T. W. Goold, Esq., who, ever since the opening of the church, has devoted much valuable time and pains-taking attention to promote this object, and in accomplishing which he has displayed a higher order of musical know ledge and taste than is frequently found even among pro. fe-sional ranks. The congregations of many other churches would do well to imitate this praiseworthy effort. THE LAST MOMENTS OF MR. SHEIL.-Mr. Sheil was in his bedroom, and had just finished dressing for church, when he told Mrs. Sheil he felt a spasm in his stomach, fainted, and lay upon the bed. He recovered, and took some colchicum, which he had generally at hand, fainted again, recovered, and took a little brandy and opium. He fainted a third time, and expired in the arms of Mrs. Sheil. He was 62 years of age. He often expressed his wonder that O'Connell should have turned towards Italy in his decline. They died both in the month of May, and both away from their native land, and in that Italy to whose Spiritual Ruler they had both laboured to subjugate their country. CASE OF STARVATION IN BRISTOL.—The party now in custody on a charge of having nearly starved their daughter to death (Robert Carpenter and Louisa, his wife) were brought up before the magistrates on Friday for fur ther examination. The statement made by Christina Carpenter on a former occasion led to the belief that she had been most cruelly used by her father and stepmother; but from the evidence of Susan Petherham, a lodger in the house where the prisoners resided, it appeared that the whole family were in a state of starvation, and that, as far as their means went, the girl had fared as well as her parents and brothers. Mr. Ayre, who conducted the case against the accused, withdrew from the prosecution ; and the magistrates having pointed out to Carpenter and his wife that they would have escaped much public odium if they had applied for parochial aid, ordered them t the discharged. NATION AL SOCIETY.—On Friday the annual examina tion of the children of the Central School, Sanctuary, Westminster, took place before the Archbishop of Can terbury, the Bishops of Oxford and Bangor, and a very large number of the friends of the society. Amongst those present were—the Rev. Lord John Thynne, the Rev. Lord Bayning, the Rev. D. Coleridge, &c. His grace having offered up prayer, the Venerable Archdeacon Allen, one of the inspectors of schools, proceeded, in a manner displaying great kindness, tact, and ability, with the examination of a large class of girls and another of boys. Each class read a chapter of the New Testament, and were catechised upon its meaning as well as upon the doctrines, teaching, and formularies of the church. In addition to this, they solved several arithmetical problems, went through a lesson of parsing, and wrote various im promptu sketches of scripture character, English history, and geography. It may be doubted if many of the spec tators would have passed through an ordeal so miscella neous and of such a character, in so creditable a manner as did most of these children. The last subject was music, in which the pupils acquitted themselves admirably. . . A NOVEL MODE OF SPARROW SHOOTING. - 1411St Sa turday afternoon two men of colour, apparently Hindoos, and exceedingly well attired, were observed " killing time" by amusing themselves in " killing sparrows," which acts they achieved in the following singular manner :—Having taken up their position in Cumberland Haymarket, near the Regent's Park, where the above birds are pretty nu merous, they waited until the game settled on some spot within the reach of their projectile range, when, by apply ing a bamboo cane to their mouths, they dismissed a shot at the object of their ain., which, in five instances out of six, was sure to be attended with fatal effects. The pellets they made use of for the above purpose consisted of hard clay, resembling greatly boys' marbles; and it was truly astonishing to notice with what accuracy and precision these expert fowlers struck the birds at which they levelled their deadly tubes. When within fifteen paces of the object their aim proved unerring, and during the short interval of time they continued to exercise their sportive pursuit they managed to secure nearly two dozen spar rows, which they consigned to a small basket, and walked out of the market, apparently highly gratified with the result of their remunerative adventure. _ _ _ .L.XTRAORDINARY CIRCUMSTANCE. — One day last week, as a gentleman was returning from Leasingham with a horse and gig, the property of Mr. Anderson, of the Masons' Arms Inn, Lincoln, the mare by accident fell on her side, and broke one of the shafts. In de scending the steep and dangerous hill known as Cross Cliff Hill, the broken shaft chafed against the side of the animal, irritating her, and causing her to kick and plunge. Eventually, when about half way down the hill, the ani mal again fell to the ground, and, while the gentleman made the best of his way to get assistance, she got up, and at a slashing pace started for home. The toll bar at the entrance of Lincoln being closed, the mare dashed at it, and, wonderful to relate, she broke through six bars, which made an opening through which she contrived to drag the vehicle, and galloped without any further hin drance or accident, until she arrived at the turn in Guildhall-street, where her owner resided, and which is more than a mile through the city from the toll-bar. The animal, however, turned the corner too stoutly, and again fell, overthrowing the gig ; and, en assistance being rendered, it was discovered that, although the gig had sustained some damage, the mare had received but trifling injury.—Local Paper. MORE DISTRESS.—On Friday evening, a very large meeting of the framework-knitters of Nottingham took place in that town—the Rev. J. W. Brooks, vicar, in the chair—to make known their distressed condition. Two thousand persons were present. In the drawers' bainch there are 250 men out of employ ment, by which 1000 per sons are destitute of the common necessaries of life, In the " cut up" branch, more than 500 were out of work. Of the silk glove hands, 200 are totally unemployed, and the remaining 300 are only partially engaged. In the counties of Nottingham, Derby, and Leicester, said one of the speakers, " there are at least 3,000 glove ' makers, of whom not more than 200 had any thing like full employment. Perhaps 500 or 600 ave raged from ss. to 7s. per week ; and there were hund reds more who were barely getting from 2s. to 3s. and 4s. a week. In the village of Bulwell (near Nottingham), there were 600 glove hands, about 80 of whom did not get anything like 6s. per week. In the three counties there were nearly 50,000 framework knitters—i.e., men employed in frames, besides those dependent upon them, such as stitchers, seamers, and winders. whatOf use was cheap bread without the means of obtaining it." ROME'S FREEDOM. — We desire to call the attention of our readers to the various illustrations which the intelli gence of this week contains, of the species of freedom and toleration where ti s which in n the the accords the regardcommu nions,ther which it shows for the principle " civil and religious liberty," so loudly invoked by its champi ons i n thi s country. The Spanish Concordat exclud es f rom th e soil of Spain every religion but Popery, and a dmits of no instruction, public or private, but that upon which the Priest has set his fiat. At Florence a nobleman is cast into a common gaol, along with the most depraved of felons, for the offence of reading, and, it seems, assisting others to read, the word of God in the vulgar tongue. And at Rome a young man is condemned to the galleys for twenty years for having endeavoured to prevent one of his ellow-citizens from smoking, the non-consumption of the cigars, of which the Government has a monopoly, being the only means of giving expression to public opinion which is left to the happy Romans under the benign rule of pio Nono and the Sacred College. And this system, which bears such fruits of "civil and religious liberty," the Popish members, and those blind bats, the Radicals, are attempting to introduce amongst us, under the pre posterous plea of respect for freedom of action and opinion.
