THE object of this Company is to construct a Railway to unite the various Railways commencing or terminating in Manchester. The length of the Line would be about one mile and a half, but to communicate with the Manchester and Leeds Railway the Line would have to be extended in a north cast direction, about one mile. 1 . / Passengers or goods arriving at one of the stations could be immediately forwarded to any other of the stations in the same carriages in which they had been travelling, consequently no shifting of luggage nor unloading of goods would be necessary ; and passengers coming from any part of the eastern side of Manchester could travel direct to any part on the western side with the same expedition and despatch as upon the main Lines of Railway. The Railway would be constructed upon arches, and it would pass over all the streets at such an elevation as would leave them ample clear space both as to height and width. The course of the Line would be through property of a very inferior description, and no mill. manufactory, warehouse, or building of importance would be interfered with, and it is v e ry remarkable - that a Railway can be got through the very heart a s it were, of such a town as Manchester, with so little prejudice to property, and a great many of the mills, manufactories, and warehouses might be made to communicate directly with the proposed Railway, at a comparatively trifling expense. A valuation of the property that would be required for the formation of the Railway has been taken; and, from an ap proximate estimate, it appears that the Line, of about a mile and a half long, might be constructed for about £230,000, but as several appendages to the Railway would be required, such as additional stations, locomotive engines, &c., the capital will be £300,000. Application for Shares may be made to M essrs . P RI TT, C LAY, and SWIFT, Solicitors, Liverpool. KENT RAILWAY COMPANY. THE Engineer having completed the surveys of the Ken! Lin; the Directors are enabled to point out the course i will take. The line will leave the Greenwich Railroad at Deptford, and pass through Greenwich, Woolwich, a little to the north of Dartford, over the Medway, half a mile above Rochester-bridge, 'close to Sittingbourne and Canterbury, through Fordwich, to Ramsgate, with a branch a little west of Sandwich to Deal, and before entering Deal, the Line proceeds to Dover. The distances by the proposed Line are— To Rochester.. , 5 2 7 91 miles. Canterbury . Ramsgate 73 $, Deal. 75 „ Dover B3 „ With the exception of three-eighths of a mile at Greenwich, where the gradient is 1 in 27. and two miles where it is 1 in 300, no gradient will exceed 1 in 330, or sixteen feet per mile. From Greenwich to beyond Gravesend, except at one point; also from Canterbury to within a mile of Ramsgate, and from Canterbury to Deal and to Dover, will be nearly level. Near the crossing. of the River Medway is a curve, of three quarters of a mile radius : excepting this, the smallest radius will be a mile. Near Ramsgate will be a tunnel, a quarter of a mile long; and the whole length of tunnelling throughout the line is not Likely to exceed a mile and a half in four separate tunnels, with the advantage of lighting and airing even these short lengths.

The BON US of £1 10s. per Cent. per Annum, declared on Policies in the year 18.31, was added to the Sums insured, and the present value of such Bonus may either be received by the parties, or applied in reduction of their future Premiums. The BONUS on Policies now in force, including the Pros pective Addition recently declared, amounts i n many cases to TWENTY PER. CENT. ON THE SUMS INSURED, and will increase Annually, until the next general appropria tion of Profits, in the year 1811. Policies ejected before the 31st of January, 1837, will have the advantage of participating in the next general appropriation of Profits. Every description of Insurance may be effected with this Company, at REDUCED PREMIUMS, when persons do not participate in Profits. When persons wish to discontinue their Insurances from any Cause, the Company will purchase their Policies upon equitable terms. Prospectuses containing Tables of Premiums, and Examples of the different modes in which the Profits can he applied, may be had at either of the Company's Offices, or of any of the Agent s in the principal Towns throughout the Kingdom.

TUESDAY MORNING, OCTOBER 18, 1836. In our Friday's number we freely commented on the abominably mischievous policy of the present cabinet, supported by the written opinion of one of its ablest members, in his reply to a foreign prince, who wished for his assistance in framing a constitution upon the mo del of the English system. We declared that if "we could form any rationale at all of the system of the whigc, it was that of perpetual inflection—that it was domocra tical without authority—revolutionary without princi- ple—and oligarchical without wisdom ;" and we feel that we have successfully maintained these propositions. We expect, of course, a contrary opinion from thoSe who are fully opposed to the exercise and retention of the consti tutional principle of our governing polity, and who con template the destruction of a balance of power therein as the first medium of their hopes and expectations. We also deny that Lord Grey ever could have contemplated such a destruction, under the working machinery of the reform bill, which we had intended to convey in our ar ticle of last Tuesday, and not the " distinction" of a ba- lance of power ; and " giving him full credit for since rity in his various declarations, whilst disputing the pru dence of his policy." We earnestly impress these points upon the serious attention and consideration of our read ers; for while we defend Lord Grey's views from prin ciple, upon his own declaration, we are constrained to show, that the policy of the present cabinet is yet far re moved from that policy, already so freely condemned by us; and we have freely declared, that " when we cease to be honest in this respect, we also hope we may cease to write." Devotedly attached, like Edmund Burke, to the independent constitutional principle of 1688, we, nevertheless, humbly following in the wake of that great est of modern philosophers, have in our own politics, from conviction, allied ourselves to the lofty views of that eminent statesman,. who, in the beautiful sentiment expressed by Canning, " lived without ostentation and and died poor" —that William P,itt, : who, in the words of the poet's lament," 9d; 74ni70 h"1oIlhi " Had he but lived, thoup,dl slunw of pow'r, A watchman on the lonely tow's , His thrilling trump had . roused the land,, When fraud or danger were at haudndi ,ti ;iv-104d It is impossible then, that we can make any .ComPrO mise with men, who seem bent upon subverting the rule —on removing the key-stone of - the political arch from our time-hallowed superstructure. Reflecting on the progress of conservatism throughout the kingdom, we are fully justified in coming to the con clusion, that the present ministry is for this conduct hourly losing its strength in the ranks of the middle classes, and that even the ten pound constituency, which has hitherto upheld its interests, is beginning to give way. Independently of the powerful demonstration which the conservative associations are now making, a general feeling pervades the reflecting part of the com munity, which does not take an active part in politics, that the whig cabinet is totally incompetent to the con , duct of the public business ; and more especially so in reference to our foreign policy, wherein the national in terests are so deeply involved. It may be asserted as a truism, that no thoroughly independent man—no one not directly or indirectly interested in its stability has any sympathy for the existing government ; whilst it is en dured, and only endured, by the SoVereign from a be coming deference of constitutional".feeli ng towards the presumed veto of an existing majority in the' House of Commons; but, as for personal confide - ace in the judg ment, energy, or discretion of his present responsible advisers, it is well k nown, that hi s Majesty has none. It is al s o kn o known, that all the speciuus. sophi s t ry w i t h w hi ch Lord Melbourne occasionally urges ce r t a i n quest i ons of intricacy is lost upon his Royal Master --that he views with jealous and dignified distrust the acts of the first minister of the crown, in reference to the O'Connell league; and that he takes nothing for granted, without the most scrutinizing inquiries. What a humiliating po_ sition is this for a British peer to be placed in ! The King, a conservative, in heart and feeling, distrusts the government forced upon him by a section of the House of Commons, deeply imbued as his Majesty knows that section to be, with a direct feeling of hostility to the Protestant Church, of which he is no less the sworn trustee, than the bosom friend ! Unable to conduct the public business, with anything like palpable effect, .a general feeling is visibly gaining ground, that the ministry cannot possibly blunder or. much longer, even with the all powerful support of its Irish tail, and its new alliance with the " justice" re volutionary legion. The strength of Engliph feeling is hourly becoming too mighty for its endurance. The cool determination assumed by the existing government of Louis Philippe, and the state of Spain and Portugal, superadded to the Irish reform policy, the only peg of their domestic support, have placed the Melbourne Whigs in a most pitiable dilemma, to meet the forth coming parliament of 1837. From their Irish policy there is no retreating, and they are entirely paralyzed with regard to their foreign diplomacy. No one pos sesses real confidence in their discretion ; and few, very few, in their political honesty. We know of no class sincerely interested for them. The conservatives behold them with fear and indignation—the radicals despise them in their hearts—the Irish papists use them as the mere machines of their temporary purpose; and their own feeble knot of imbecile dependents, and hangers on, cling to them only for self-interest. Their English strength rests chiefly in the efforts of a hireling press— the pamphleteering effusions of their Bulwers and their Taits, and the vapid effusions of their Humes and Roe bucks ! We say then, that no class of Englishmen is truly interested for the Whigs, and that all would freely welcome a change to a conservative cabinet at once ; but from a rational apprehension, that as the public or national feeling is more freely developed, the existing House of Commons, or rather its Irish popish majority, which has hitherto upheld, or driven Messrs. Melbourne, Russell and Co. forward in their ex-partnership contract, might prove so restive with another administration, as to produce more than temporary confusion in the state and embarrassment to a new government. It is not for us to dictate to the people of England, as the master of the Whig ministry presumes to dictate to to the people of Ireland ; but we may be permitted to express our opinion, how far the apprehension, that an immediate change would be attended with unfavourable results, or time to produce a reaction in favour of ultra revolutionary whiggery, is well grounded. It may be well to take into consideration how far the feeling of forbearance, towards an almost universally admitted imbecile ministry exists, and which we take it, merely arises from the fact, that the English people, primarily, dislike perpetual changes; and the sufferance extended does not by any means arise from an opinion, that the members of the cabinet are more trustworthy as professed reforming Whigs, but is entirely dependent on the circumstance of their being Ministers installed in office ! There has invariably existed a desire with the opulent apd intelligent classes in this country to sustain the government, for the time being, and that upon strictly conservative principles —upon the cherished re membrance, that at the best periods of our national pros perity, it was deemed a matter of duty and of interest to sustain the fundamental rule of the state, as Admiral Rodney said, " let who would preside at the helm," without entertaining an extremely scrupulous regard to the exact quality 'of the politics held by those in power. To us, this feeling appears purely national on general principles; but there may be times and circumstancec when its indulgence may be attended with the most dis astrouspublic results ; and we hold, that such an opi nion existing at this time is entirely incompatible with duty to society in general, and to the state in particular. Much is it to be lamented, that so disastrous a change has taken place in the vital principles of our governing policy—a revolutionary inroad so utterly unconservative in all its principles and its objects, that, to quiescently suffer the present Whig government to retain power, much more to support it, is to propel the machinery of general destructiveness—to lessen the authority of law— to diminish respect for religion, and to place life, property, and order, in peril of being trodden under foot, by the mad controul of infuriated or ignorant de mocracy. We have a decidedly conservative majority in the English branch of the House of Commons; and this fact, for the reasons adduced, shows at once the weakness of the ministry in everything like a constitutional foun dation. No Minister of England, upon old principles, would or ought to presume to carry on the government of this country with a less majority than forty or fifty English members, even allowing a fair excuse to reform principle, on points of weighty policy, and to give confi dence to the decisions of the Peers ; and this if even the majority in the Peere were not opposed to the general measures of the government. Out of a house of nearly six hundred members it is contemptible to imagine, that Lord Melbourne can consider his packed majority of twenty-nine Irish members, (without any invidious dis tinction) the independent authority of an English House of Commons! 'We, therefore, firmly believe, that were the adminis tration changed tomorrow, the majority of the House of Commons, as at present constituted, with the solitary ex ception of the Irish Roman Catholic members, would, in the ensuing session, support a new government con ducted according to Lord Brougham's recent definition, as expressed by him to the ultra-radicals of Edinburgh, on a principle of "not merely repairing, but amending, and thus preserving and perpetuating our institutions, by every safe method of improvement, and with all yea- sociable dispatch,"—divested of course of "heavy blows," and ;" great discouragements " to the protestant church in Ireland, and to the constitutional rule of the land, vested in the King's justices, and to the independent 'voice of the English people, declared by their freely cho sen representatives ! We say, that the truly reforming English people want nothing more nor less than the con sistent rational exercise of reformation laid down by Lord Brougham,—the institutions of this country cannot be preserved nor perpetuated by any other means; and if his lordship contemplated any other, his argument would nullify itself. There exists no valid reason for supposing that the entire majority of the House of Commons, as regards its English constituency, which is now more com posed of the wealthier portion of the middle ranks than in former parliaments, should factiously withhold its sup port from a government formed on the principles de clared by Sir Robert Peel, in his ever momorable address to the electors of Tamworth in the early part of the last year, on his assumption of office; for we maintain that the people of England, any more than Lord Brougham, by his own showing, are not advocates for the revolution ary " carry out" system, and the " heavy blows " of Lord Melbourne, but that they are for preservative remedies ; and even if the present House of Commons did resist, there would still remain an ample remedy, by a gentil.a - appeal to the electors; and in the recent feeling of the country, after what it has experienced during the last two sessions, from our whig-radical and O'Connellite rulers, it would be preposterous to imagine, that the people even of the towns would elect a set of men fit for no other purpose than to be the obsequious supporters of Lord John Russell or Mr. Spring Rice. Where is the symp- torn of such a probability, after the decision of Warwick and Newcastle? Every independent exhibition of the public sentiment hitherto gives us an earnest, that the nation at large has discovered the full and entire worth• lessness of Whig rule, and that it desires not to remain under its controul. Although we are not permitted to know decidedly what is going forward in the arcana selecta of the whig cabinet, we are not such novices as to be unable to gather from its own mantunvring the true nature of its position; and as for the inflated trash which the treasury organs, led the great gun o f t h e morn i ng, the worthless old g ru b :ticle, put forth, regarding the warm affection of the "reforming people for the reforming ministry," and their distrust or hatred of the conservatives, it is altogether so contemptiblf as to be laughed at by every sensible man, 'even those of their own party, who know its emptiness, save and except as a clap trap for the ridiculous and weak-rninded. It is hardly needful to argue upon its pal ' pable falsehood, after our recent proud displays, and in the face of tire note of preparation making this day; but we may be permitted to expose its glaring absurdity, and to exhibit the weakness, the chagrin, and tire fear, which such meanness of argument displays. The time, we verily believe, has passed, when any large portion of our fellow-countrymen may be gulled with the plausible misrepresentations Of visible sophists, and vain conceited theorists, dabblers in a science far beyond the compre hension of marry of them, who set themselves up as po pular leaders ; whilst others possessed of better parts and understanding, pervert their intelligence, and pros iitute their talents, from purely sordid motives of interest and parasitical depravity, as the panderers to power. It is not our intention to assert, that the minds of the lower orders of the people are yet entirely disabused of the contaminating influences of that specious hypocrisy, Which has been laid hold of, or that the conservatives can possibly be popular with thorough-going radicals, or un compromising papists; but we fearlessly maintain, that even the poorer classes in England are generally disgusted with the conceited extravaganejes which have been held up to them, as tending to better their condition, by a set of recreant Whig speculators, vvithout shame, liberality, consistency, honour, or remorse ; and that even they would most willingly hold up their hands in favour of piactical men of long-tried reputation, honesty of inten tion, and straight-forwardness of purpose; and, that, notwithstanding the sapient remark of Mr. Henry Lyt ton Bulwer, and his vaunted " Monarchy of the Middle Classes," that " the whits must be supported and all power must be taken from the tories," or even the bel lowing of the mad roarer of Derrynane, who growls forth—" down with toryism I " The people of this coun try, in spite of all this bombast and liberal coxcombry must and will, ere long, have a decidedly conservative government,—it will be for that government to satisfy the nation of its competency to conduct the affairs of the state, on something like rational principles, sustaining reform without destruction, receiving and maintaining that general confidence from an intelligent public, which the present ministry hasdeservedly forfeited, by its truck ling subserviency to unprincipled faction—its falseness, and entire destitution of all the essential requisites of a governing body, for a state like free and independent Britain. Lord Melbourne and his truly deep-thinking col leagues, the self-elected and self-represented " Talents' of 1836, have, very reluctantly, been compelled to yield obedience to the conzmands of the first personage in the state, on the subject of the government of Jamaica. It was not possible that his Majesty, who is deeply im pressed with the recollection 15f early sympathies and associations, arising from his personal intercourse, when a subject, with nearly all our West Indian possessions, should remain insensible to the constitutional voice of so large and influential a portion of his loyal subjects, con veyed as it was to his ear, by that document on which we have had the pleasure of commenting some few weeks past. The memorial of the House of Assembly of Ja maica, signalised alike for its deeply penetrating exposi tion of the principles on which our colonial government and the monarchy of England are strictly formed, rami fying through all the machinery of its vast possessions, as for its moderate yet dignified tone and strength of ar gument, has had due effect. So firm-and explicit an il lustration of the entire departure from those principles in the colonial policy of the whig administration, and carried beyond the limit of endurance by a society of free, enlightened citizens of the state, ably represented in their domestic legislature, could not fail of making a powerful impression —of creating a warm interest in the heart of our patriot King, and the immediate recall of Lord Sligo has been the inevitable result. The glaring injustice and folly of the unconstitutional attempt to bear down, to trample on the judgment and opinion of a body of educated gentlemen, of English birth and descent, and any one of whom proved a match for Lord Sligo under his erroneous proceedings, was tri umphantly exposed by that address, which would not have disgraced the pen of Edmund Burke or George Canning, and which has put an extinguisher on the wisdom of our whig radical administration, and taught the home go vernment a practical lesson without a parallel in the his tory of any one cabinet, that has assumed to itself the ca pabilities of ruling this mighty empire, or guarding the complicated interests of its vast possessions in every quarter of the globe. It has been exceedingly fortunate for our governing Solons, that a man of Sir Lionel Smith's compass and moderation was at hand; it has been a saving to them in this instance, which they had no pretensions to claim and no hope to expect, after the labyrinth of discord, doubt, and perplexity into which Lord Sligo, acting of course upon the spirit of his instructions, without the exercise of ordinary prudence, had thrown the possessors of pro perty in the island of Jamaica. We were some time since apprised of the determina•• tion of his Majesty to pay due attention to the appeal of his loyal West Indian subjects, or our voice would again have been raised in their behalf in accents not very grate ful to our friends of the Colonial Office in particular, and of the whip cabinet in general, having been furnished with most ample materials for the purpose. We regret, that the multiplicity of the various topics of home inte• rest pressing on our attention at this time, prevents our discussing at length the dispassionate and sensible ad dress of Sir Lionel Smith to the House of Assembly at Barbadoes, upon his appointment to the government of Jamaica. Its reception by that intelligent body stamps is value, both in a practical and moral point of view. What a contrast is here presented to that of the departure of the Marquis of Sligo from the latter island ! How little must the ministers of the crown feel within them selves on reading this farewell address and the reply thereto, whilst the further reply of Sir Lionel to the ad dress of the assembly of Barbadoes contains, in the se cond paragraph, a most severe although indirect rebuke of the personal conduct of the late governor of Jamaica. " It is therefore, a source of great triumph to me, that your honourable house has recognised my faithful exertions to admi nister this government with justice to all parties. Whatever may have been the difficulties you have had to contend with, I have always believed that the time would come when you would feel, that a governor is but the humble instrument of higher authority; yet it has never been the design of such authority, that he should irritate by any bitterness of spirit those, who, by the great voice of the people of England, are doomed to risk the rights of property !" The whole spirit and letter of this reply are strictly constitutional yet liberal; and the conclusion, which ex presses the grateful sense of his Majesty's favour, is par ticularly feeling and impressive ; and we cannot refrain from congratulating our many friends in the island of Ja maica, on a change apparently so conspicuous, and calcu lated to promote the peace and prosperity of the island . As with the reform bill of England, the slave abolition bill of the West Indies is the law of the land; so it is necessary that the authority of the imperial parliament should be duly sustained with equity and power, by a de sertion of the first principles of our home government, which are not entirely oligarchical nor democratical, al though attempted to be rendered so for general purposes of expediency, in breach of all sound judgment, learn ing, and discretion. We feel perfectly assured that the possessors of property in the island of Jamaica will be duly grateful for this marked attention to their interests and their feelings, as having arisen from the manly de termination of our gracious Sovereign, in warm response to their own dutiful and energetic appeal. The approaching municipal election, and the public manifestations which have been made on more than one occasion, have caused our liberal ccrporation to begin the unpleasant work of setting their houses in order. For this purpose Mr. Walrusley has prepared a luminous ora tion, which has been published in the daily prints, and which we are to consideras a sort of King's Speech at the close of the session. It may probably prove to be the last dying speech of some of those very liberal gentlemen whose flaming addresses ten months ago promised such great things for the good old town. As the house of Walmsley has not as yet produced any sparkling orators, with the single exception of Mr. James Mulleneux, whom we all must admit is a first-rate speaker, though in his case it is said Walmsley finds the grain and Mulleneux only finds the spirit. So the worthy representative of Castle-street Ward, diffident of his own powers, stood before the council, a la Canning in attitude, but instead of holding the folded parchment in his hand, and going off at a canter, he coolly unfolded his apology, and commenced reading his speech. It is not our purpose to follow this worthy c ouncillor through his harangue, for it is before the public, and needs no observations. Mr. Walmsley is a very respectable man, and, as a corn merchant, ranks high ; but he is a weak man, though well-intentioned, and has what the Scotch call, a " daft place in his head." We can, however, wake every al- OCT. 18, 1836. lowahce for a gentleman who has been dragging along a miserable existence for the last year—who has only now and then spent a night within his own curtains—who hie been night after night in bridewells, until the very keep ers have been sick of seeing him there—and who, for his country's good, has submitted to abuse and indignity in a thousand shapes, in dram shops, in rows, in station houses, in , but here we must stop, we really cannot accompany the gentleman any further in his pere.; , grinations. Well, the council being popularly elected, and having made huge promises, which the electors readily swallowed; and being about to present themselves and their accounts before the electors, they have delegated, to the most will ing drudge of the* body, the thankless task of apologising for their misdeeds—of course nothing was to be said about the splits and quarrels in the committee rooms— .the worse was to be made to appear the better reason — and so we find from the luckless orator, that no man had been appointed to a public situation under the council from motives- of personal favour. ' There, gentle readers, swallow that if you can. Of course when an honourable man like Mr. Walmsley says it is the case, we must believe it; but it is very odd that Mr. Radcliffe should have been the corporate aggressor . in old times, and was particularly intimate with Mr. Rathbone, Mr. Bolton, and others, and who had, no doubt, a long bill against these worthies for services bad and performed. It is also very odd that Mr. Crook should just have been selected for deputy town-clerk— a young solicitor, hardly known, but who happened to have been solicitor to the Reform Association. It is also rather odd that John Wybergh, who was chairman of the aforesaid association, should just have been the fittest man for treasurer; and that Mr. Hall should have been the fittest man for magistrate--Mr. P. F. Curry the fittest man for coroner—and Mr. W. S. Roscoe the very fittest man for the situation he was last week elected to occupy. Mr. Walmsley says the offices were made for the men, and not the men for the offices. Every body knows this. Some of the offices were made to their hand, and the men in shoals were ready made too, and only wanted fitting in. Why does Mr. Walmsley suffer himself to be dragged through the mire by men who only laugh at him for his stupidity ? How must Rathbone and Bolton have laughed in their sleeves at such assertions. Has not Mr. Rath bone exercised all the power of the council; and when Mr. Bolton brought forward his motion the other day for non-payment of church expenses, except they were obli gatory, where was Mr. Walmslcy, a churchman ! that he did not oppose such a paltry dishonourable motion, as a disgrace to the mover and insulting to every churchman in the council chamber. It is all very fine in Mr. Walmsley talking about the benefit of free education to all classes. If he means that it is the duty of the Council to teach all classes without di)tinction of creed we agree with him, but with this re servation, that no fundamental principle should be con ced which can by any means be construed into an aban donment of protestantism. That in education truth, and not error, should be taught, and Mr. Walmsley knows as well as we can tell him, that the Council committed what has been called " a political blunder" when they so far presumed upon the ignorance of the people of Liverpool as to make a motion, and carry it too, that the scriptures should be virtually expelled from the corporation schools. Are they not now in such ill savour for their conduct, that in the analysis of education, they find it necessary to place the scriptures prominently forward as a part or every day's teaching, as if the unitarians, and to their, disgrace be it spoken, many of the members of the church being councilmen, care one jot whether the scriptures are ever used or not. Five-sixths of the children now taught in these schools are papists, and the priests know full well that it is policy in them for the present to wink at the use of scripture lessons, because they see that though the Council are blind enough to their intentions, the people of Liverpool are vigilant, and aware of their machinations. It is more than probable that many of the liberal coun cillors have begun to find there is more danger than ho nour attached to their situations. Many of them would be much better .filling their duty as members of society if they would "go and mind their own business." It is no wonder that both parties find it difficult to ob tain respectable candidates at the next election. Few gentlemen will be found to submit to the indignity of a seat in the reformed Council; a sense of public duty only causes them to accept it. The bickerings, the quarrels, the scenes exhibited since December last, must neces sarily shut out our first merchants and others ;—and the town need not to be informed that the old and respectable whigs are as sick of the Council as any of the conserva tives can possibly be, and that ere long it is not impro bable Mr. John Langan may be a candidate, and as he is, in the common parlance of the day, a highly respect able and industrious man, and has fought his way to wealth and honour, we may confidently hope to see him, cheek by jowl, with Mr. Rathbone and Mr. Earle, and he will be very serviceable there to keep order, which the present Mayor is unable to do, and will be at hand to inflict summary punishment on any unfortunate con servative who may happen to oppose the majority of the Council. LIVERPOOL CONSTITUTIONAL DINNER.—This day is des tined to witness our constitutional gathering. The men of Liverpool, who are consevatives from principle, are about to assemble for the the purpose of recording their opinion—of giv ing their public decision on the conduct, moral and political, of the "great blow" administration. Protestants in feeling and in sentiment, and Englishmen at heart, they have resolved not to he behind with the mighty spirit of preservation now progressing through our highly-favoured land. Influenced by the love of ra tional liberty, the choice inheritance transmitted to them by the warm devotion of honourable christian ancestors, they wish to preserve to their posterity unimpaired those blessings of civil se curity and religious freedom which they themselves have enjoyed unalloyed with the corrupting associations of a feverish, restless, and intractable democracy, and uncontaminated by the tyranny and superstition of an apostate and falsely-declared infallible church. It is the spirit of christian conservatism which prompts them to stand by their rights as men and as freemen, and which animates their exertions. What shall resist this spirit ? They know and feel, in the words of the never-dying Burke, that "by preserving the method of nature in the conduct of the state, in what we improve we are never wholly new—in what we retain we are never wholly obsolete. By adhering in this manner and on these principles to our forefathers, we are guided, not by the superstition of antiquaries, but by the spirit of philosophic ana logy. In this choice of inheritance we have given to our frame of polity the image of a relation in blood, binding up the consti tution of our conntry with our dearest domestic ties—adopting our fundamental laws into the bosom of our family affections— keeping inseparable, and cherishing with the warmth of all their combined and mutually reflected charities, our state, our hearths ? our sepulchres, and our altars !" What can we say more? TO CORRESPONDENTS. We are sorry that we cannot make room to-day for the report of the interestiug meeting at Glasgow, at - which our respected townsman, the Rev. H.

LONDON LATEST NEWS. (From the primate correspondence of the Weekly Post.) Paris, Friday, Oct. 14, Four o'clock. The following is given to me as a translatrog of a bulletin in the Madrid Gazette of the Bth, which an English courier is stated to have arrived with : " Brigadier Don Francisco Osana, Governor of Seville writes,_ on the 2d October, to government, that Gomez's fac tion, having attacked the fort of Cordova, in which the authori ties of the town had retired with the National Guard, had been completely repulsed, and that the Captain-General, Espinosa, in communicating this intelligence, adds, that he is marching against Gomez. A laix was on the 4th at La Carolina." I regret to say that little progress seems to have been made towards the restoration to liberty of the unfortunate prisoners of Ham, the release of whom their friends deemed certain three days ago.
