This is the great question now at issue ; and the solution of which - - ting the councils, and endangering the peace, of the empire. Is the voice of th e l o y a l majority of the British people, backed by the declared wishes of a beloved Sovereign, to be lis tened to; or are both to be overborne by the dic tates of a foreign potentate, enforced by the threats and the turbulence, of the disaffected Popish masses is distra a question of protec rnpedes the formation of a ministry to conduct the business of the country. It is no question as to our future financial policy. The real cause which precipitated the downfall of Lord John Russell's government was a mandate from the Vatican ; and the circumstance which has since prevented the formation of another to succeed it, and which, whenever the task of patching up one may be achieved, will prove its great source of nate demolition, is the torch of flung into the heart of the We shall endeavour to make the facts, which we have here asserted, distinctly evident ; and in order to do so let us, in the first place, ask under what circumstances the governthent of Lord John opened the present Session of Parliament, or perhaps it would be better to go back to his position previously to the receipt of the Pope's bull of the nth September lost.

It may be a m i sfortune for Protei tant Great Britain to be linked with a country containing five milions of Papists; but a wise statesman will not qgeravate the evils of such a situation by enacting or enforcing penal laws against the religion of the majority." Thus dictates the Peelite and Puseyite Chronicle. Submission to Rome, or civil war. Allow Pope Pius and his insolent hierarchy to trample upon the prerogative of the Crown, or to insult or to ban at their pleasure the Protestant majority of the people of this empire, or be prepared for a struggle to the death with Ireland's " five millions of Papists." The Free-trade faction in Parliament cannot stand without the support of the Irish Popish members ; and the surrender of the Protes tant character of the nation, and the abasement of the Sovereign at the feet of Rotrie, is the price which we are to pay for that support, and the con sequent elevation to power of the Grahams and Roebucks, the Cobdens and Brights, with their several dorsal appendages ! But will the Protestant majority of the people of England endure this ? Will they submit to have a Government or a policy dictated to them by an insolent Popish minority, or allow the declared will of their Sovereign to be mocked and set at nought by an usurping foreign power ? They will not ; and we warn those statesmen who are at present counselling the experiment, to beware what they are doing. 'The Protestant people of England have shown themselves long suffering and patient under a long series of insult and encroachment ; but they are resolved to bear no longer. Let a Ministry be formed, based upon the policy of ignoring the recent aggression of Rome, and it will be hurled to the ground by the indignation of a thoroughly aroused people. We tell these men emphatically, that A PROTESTANT SOVEREIGN, AND NOT THE POPE OF ROM E, GOVERNS, AND SHALL GOVERN, THIS PROTESTANT EMPIRE. THE explanations of Friday last have developed a new phase in the aspect of political affairs and parties in this country. A short while ago, the Whigs, notwithstanding their aristocratic leanings and their fondness for family compacts, were very generally regarded as the natural, though reluctant, allies of the ultra-progress party in the country. As, in the course of all their past history, it was concluded that only a crisis was required sufficient to place office and pay in danger, accompanied by a little pressure from without, to drive them into the arms of the bolder and more ardent spirits who compose a portion of their strength upon great questions. The country looked, on the other hand, upon the small but compact and talented party, who had been the followers of Sir Robert Peel, as forming a controlling power between the extreme " liberal" and the great constitutional party ; as deeply committed, it is true, as the former, to the doctrines and theories of free-trade, but ready to fall back into the ranks of the latter to resist any encroachment upon the prerogative of the crown, and any democratic innovation attempted against the existing settlement of the constitution of the country, It is now an unquestionable fact, however, that the leading members of the Peel party are prepared to go many steps in advance of the Whig, or Rus sell party ; and to bid more boldly and promptly than they for the support of the democratic masses throughout the country. Lord John declares his resolve to cling to the example and the principles of the men under whose auspices he commenced his public life ; to the principles of such men as Burke, Romilly, Mackintosh, and Horner,—states men who in all their measures aimed solely, he maintains, to promote the public welfare, and were disposed to resist sternly any measures dictated by public clamour. Sir James Graham, on the other hand, as the leader of the Peel party, is disposed to embark upon a bolder course. :Sir James conceives that " When the history of the past thirty years • shall be recorded, there are three leading transactions which will fix the attention of the historian. The first is the cause of civil and religious liberty, as exhibited in the report of the Test and Corporation Act, and the emancipation of suffrage, as manifested in the Reform Act ; and the third is the establishment of a more liberal, commercial, and financial policy, which, for the sake of brevity, he calls free-trade." 'With respect to the whole of these questions he is in favour of "Progress." He will support any measures " so framed as to give effect to the ex tension" of free trade. No reservation as to how such extension may operate upon the agricultural interests of the country ! Indeed, throughout the whole confession of creeds, made by the Whigs and Peelites on Friday night, not a single allusion is made to the agricultural interest, or to their suffer ings, admitted though these were in the speech from the throne. The sum and substance of their policy is " free-trade at any price and any hazard." With respect to the promotion of civil and religious liberty, " as exhibited in the emancipation of the Roman Catholics !—strange juMble! Civil and igious liberty and Roman Catholicism !—Sir favour of extending it ad libitum. ; and James is it of tolerating any aggression against the prerogative stf)jects, which the Pope and his cardinals may dic tate—provided it is not marked with " the arro gance and folly of the language which the Pope and his cardinal have thought fit to employ in an nouncing" (the recent) "ecclesiastical arrangement, which he believes to be lawful, and which he does not consider dangerous." Let the Pope. then, only use a little " soft sawder ;" and he may set up an ecclesiastical court in Westminster-ball, demand the loan of the new houses of parliament for a synod shops and archbishops, or issue cards of invitation to dine with her Majesty and the Prince Consort at Buckingham Palace or Windsor, for anything that Sir James heeds. None of these d he " illegal" or " dangerous ;" and as for the impudence of the thing, her Majesty and the nation must pocket the affront for the sake of the cause of—" civil and religious liberty !" This, electors of Liverpool, is the language of the school of statesmen which numbers your present member, Mr. Cardwell, amongst its great lights ! Upon the subject of an extension of the suffrage, Sir James Graham is quite as willing to grant it as Lord John Russell. In fact, his declaration shows that he has a more definite notion of the sort of of his 1 is wool scheme which he is prepared to support. There is no doubt that, although both treat us with an infi nite quantity of protestations to the contrary, the real object of any extension from such a quarter is to swamp the county constituencies, and to hand over a greater amount of influence in the Commons to the inhabitant householders of our small towns and villages. Possibly the result of such a measure may not quiti fulfil the expectations of its authors. they show, on the part of the Peel But wh Pi after power come throug h what t pandering it may, t anations are ith the politic Je of t' - - aead of the Russell party. touring his coquetings with Lord Aberdeen and Sir James Graham. Lord John had expressed himself willing to modify his original measure. He was ready to lop off the Irish portion of it, which, he feared, would " interfere with the power of ordination, with collation to benefices in the Catholic church, and even with the enjoyment by bishops, and by parish priests in succession, of endowments destined for their support." Yet with all this "eating of dirt" by the minister, whose sudden ebullition of Protestant zeal contributed so powerfully to fan the flame of excitement which re cently enveloped the whole empire, Aberdeen, Gra- measure. Poor Lord John ! Fallen indeed art thou—destined to he for ever a " dummy" on the political staff--when even such hucksters of princi ples as the Peelite clique can be permitted to declare —"With this man we march not through Coventry." Poor Lord John ! THE latest intelligence from London which can be depended upon, with respect to the ministerial crisis, confirms the impression, which we have en tertained for some days, that the members of the Russell administration would have at last to be re called for the purpose of shuffling over the present session. Such, it seems. has been the recommen dation of the Duke of Wellington to her Majesty ; and we fully expect that our telegraphic dispatch, which at the time we write has not been received, will inform us that an arrangement of this sort , which Lord John Russell has undertaken, has either been completed, or is being brought to a successful termination. What may be the policy of such an administration—what principles may have to be sh e l ve d, or th rown o verboard, to enable it to weather through the short period which inter venes before the commencement of the world's fair, to which all legislation, and every question in 7 volving, however vitally, the interests of the nation, must give way, we are not in a position to say. We give, however ; the speculations on th 6 subject which appear in the Moruigg Herald ai.d the Times of yesterday. After stating the general belief entertaine d iii London with respect to Lord John itussell being again engaged in forming a ministry;and confirming it by a notice, contained in mod= Court Gazette, of the movements which had occ&i4ed on Saturday, when the Duke of Wellington Waited on her Majesty, and since that interview, th Herald proceeds " It is stated that the basis of the measures on which the re-instated Cabinet will appeal to Parliament for its assistance until the Legislature shall be prorogued, and immediately afterwards dissolved, is this—a complete re modelling of the Budget, and a virtual postponement of the Ecclesiastical Titles Bill. For the sake of a financial flourish to cover absolute defeat, it is said by those who pretend to be well informed, that it will be proposed first to repeal totally the window tar, and that the notable plan for its conversion to a house tax will be abandoned— secondly, that the income-tax shall be renewed for one year ; in the third place. that Lord Stanley's plan for committees of inquiry in both houses, previously to legis lation on the Papal aggression, will be adopted ; and, finally, that the Government will get rid of their executive, administrative, and legislative powers, as soon as they can decently abdicate, by an appeal to the country. We re peat that we do not vouch for the positive correctness of any of the statements to which we have just drawn atten tion, but there is much in them which is corroborated by concurrent events." In common with the Herald we do not vouch for the positive correctness of these statements. We do not think, either, that the policy chalked out is likely to meet with the sanction of parlia ment or the nation. The latter will not permit the "Ecclesiastical Titles Bill"—mild name, by the by, for a bill professing to be for the purpose of repel ling one of the foulest and most impudent acts of aggression ever levelled against any Sovereign or any people—to be shelved for an indefinite period by the mere device of appointing Committees of Inquiry in both Houses. Nor do we think that the great body of the nation—out of Marylebone and St. Pancras—will consider the unconditional repeal of the Window Tax, leaving the Income Tax untouched in its enormous injustice, any great "financial flourish." However, it is no use fight ing with such unsubstantial things as mere ru mours ; and therefore we proceed to give the speculations of the Times upon this subject. Our contemporary begins by lamenting that "a whole month of the Session has been thrown away ; and besides all kinds of horrors looming in the horizon, the agreeable arrangement of three months for parliamentary work, and three months for the Exhibition in Hyde Park, is now utterly hopeless." We are really sorry both for the expectant sight seers and the showmen. Our contemporary pro ceeds to inform us, that all chance of a Stanley. Administration is over; that the Whigs and Peel ites, notwithstanding the recent affectionate ex changes of sentiment between their respective leaders, will not fuse together; and, after pointing' out to us, as our only resource, a re-casting. of the late Whig Administration, goes on to spew us in what a very brief space of time the legs may be knocked from beneath the ricketty erection. - "The first thing," he says, "that strikes one is, that they will be exactly in the same condition as they were a fort night ago. They will have the same, or rather an increased number of Protectionists arrayed against them, and the same number of Irish Roman Catholic members ready to throw themselves into the anti-Ministerial scale. They will be liable to the same pressure from the Radical party, with the same disposition on the part.of their own friends, and all the rest of the house, to tat them fight their own battles on parliamentary reform, and possibly on some other equally interesting questions. No possible modifi cation of the Ecclesiastical Titlesßill will propitiate the frantic Irishmen, though it may alienate some Protestant supporters. As for a mere reconstruction of the cabinet out of the old Whig materials, that will only be another symptom of weakness, and anotherground of attack. Sir Charles Wood might have devised a more captivating budget, but we doubt whether any budget whatever would , . have escaped a storm of opposition from some quarter, if not from all quarters. As for the colonies, though a good tempered secretary might give them a chance, we believe that they cannot, and will not, be governed without an occasional disturbance. So we-cannot hold out any hope of peace and quiet, if the 1: to mtninistration should simply resume its performance, with a somewhat different cast, and with, perhaps, one or two principal parts given to new hands from the same school as the old ones." This is the reverse of consolatory. Our contem porary goes on to notice the proposal to refer the subject of the Papal aggression to a select commit tee,. which, however, he considers "will look ominous of delay, of flagging zeal, of growing discretion, and', perhaps, of final indifference ;""and he remarks that ' a large section of the public,.amongst whom . we may reckon ourselves, think it mere pedantry to ,include Ireland in the operation of the bill." We do remember th e Times, not many:weeks ago, speaking quite as decidedly on the other side of the question; but it " is his custom" to turn his back upon h;m self ; so we pass over this hundredth instance. The gist of our contemporary's friendly suggestion to Lord John and his new colleagues is•.contained in the following. paragraph:— . . " Their weakness can only be cured by stronger men and stronger measures. If Lord. John Russell could attach to himself some of those men who possess the confidence of the more liberal section of the legislature, he would not find that section acting so independently and so inconveniently—pursuing its objects in season and out of season, and inflicting defeat, as it dil last Thurs day week, at the most critical moment to his fortunes. As to stronger measures we need only point to one which would both secure the better co-operation of the party just described, and also cut away the last hopes of the Protectiontsts. They boast that a gent ral election will give them a clear maj3rity of 30 votes, with which they will ride into power, and impose a moderate fixed duty on foreign grain. For their own sake, as well as for the sake of the country, they ought not to be allowed to cherish this delusion. But surely Lord John Russell must now see how nearly he has escaped, if, indeed, he has escaped, a dissolution, and how absolutely necessary it is that the next general election should take place under the safest possible conditions.. Without particular reference to Mr. Locke King's plan, it is evident that a large extension of the county constituencies is necessary to make the House of Commons a proper representation of the intelligent people of this country. The Irish Roman Catholics reckon on returning sixty members of their communion into our next parliament, and if the British Protestants gain even a respectable minority, they will soon be able, with their Trish auxiliaries, to push the Whig government into a corner. Self-preservation, then, demands that the new parliamentary reform bill, which Lord John Russell has long had' in contemplation, and of which he had prepared a draught before the present session, should be introduced forthwith, with as little delay as possible. We are speaking, of course, off the book at the present moment, as no man living can say what advice the Duke of Wellington will tender to 'her Majesty this morning; but, assuming that he will not advise the rejection of Lord John Russell's services, we beg to suggest the first use he should make of his fresh lease of power." We hope the country will understand this. The preservation of the monarchy,the strengthening of the Protestantism of the country, are nothing compared with the self-preservation of a Whig Government, and the maintenance of a free-trade policy. Call in Cobden, Bright, Hume, George Thomson, Chis holme Anstey, and any "stronger men," if they can be found; but, before the country is to be appealed to, take care That the present constitu encies shall be swamped by any revolutionary mate rials within reach. A TELEGRAPHIC dispatch, containing a report of the proceedings in the House of Commons last night, informs us that the Duke of Wellington, in his interview with her Majesty, noticed elsewhere, recommended that the late Government be restored to office, and that the Papal Aggression Bill be persevered with. This is, no doubt, politic advice. It is significant in many respects. It shows us what value a practised and shrewd observer, such as the duke most certainly is, puts upon the bluster of the Papal part] in this country. It assures us that he is not prepared to allow the throne to be insulted, and the constitution to be undermined, by Papal insolence and subtlety. If there is one man in the country from whom such advice to the throne could have come gratefully and advan tageously, that man is the Duke of Wellington. It, is a guarantee of the honesty of purpose, mistaken though its grounds, which dictated his unfortunate course in 1829, and which he has since, on equally mistaken grounds, followed up. And now, we ask, what is the country to do, in response to such an assurance of the determination of the Monarch, and the fidelity of her oldest and most trusted adviser ? We do not anticipate that such a ministry as the present, giving them even the full credit with the nation, which would result from their following strictly the advice of the noble Duke, will be able to stem the heteroge neous array of opponents which will be banded against it. What we have to depend upon now— and our only dependance—is an efficient re-organi zation of the Tory party in the country—that party by whose efforts, in a perilous age of war and revolution, throughout the most terrible struggle of modern history, the destiny of England was directed by 'William Pitt and the tory aristocracy and gentry of the country. These men carried us through the sharp and fiery ordeal of that crisis to a trivkraph over Whig fomented wilition at hornet. TUE LHERPOOL STANDARD, and a• world abroad banded against us. Although taunted with the factiously-raised outcry that they were animated in their measures solely by bigotry, corruption, and hostility to all improvements, the tories under Pitt, Ca nni ng, and Huskisson originated those practical ameliorations of our system of com merce and finance, upon which the empirics of the present day have based their claims to fame; and nothing but the violence of the frinch revolution prevented the adoption of such a scheme of reform of our church establishment, as would have for ever taken that pretext out of the hands of the Whig and Ultra-radical party. We must return, however, to the question—what is the country prepared to do in this emergency. We are aware that Lord John Russell's measures, especially with respect to the Papal aggression, will not satisfy the country. What we have to do now, therefore, is to prepare for a dissolution at any hour. It cannot be far distant. Liverpool must do her duty in this emergency. She is at present misre presented. _ _ _ Of Mr. Cardwell we need say nothing more than we have already said. - He must never again be returned for this Protestant town. Mr. Thomas Berry Horsfall will dispose of one candidate when ever he chooses to give us the chance. We shall, however, most probably have to select two consti tutional members ; and, as a colleague of Mr. Horsfall, we have had suggested the Honourable Dudley Ryder, an unexceptionable candidate ; Sir Howard Douglas, an uld friend, around whom the Protestant constituency of Liverpool would promptly rally; and a very influential party has recently named the Hon. Mr. Stanley, the eldest son of the noble lord, who will probably lead the future Protectionist Administration. Mr. Stanley is a young man of great talent, and in the welfare of this important town and neighbourhood he and his are deeply interested. MRS. H. BEALE'S GRAND CONCERT LAST NIGHT. The concert of this lady, last evening, was a rich treat, its leading feature being that the music performed was exclusively of a classical character. The selection was from Rossini, Beethoven, Mendetsaohn, Mozart, Merca dante, and Schubert, with the names, worthy of being styled classical, of Ernst and Haller, Balfe. Frank Mori, and Macfarren. Part first commenced with a duetto from Rossini, by Mr. S. Stockhausen, and Signor S. Tamba rini. We fancied that in this piece the latter was a little tame. Ills voice, in the sotto parts of the dialogue, was almost inaudible. To proceed with the-vocalists, Madlle. A ngri sung the well-known air, " Una voce poca fa," magnificently., Her voice is a deep Albani, if we may use the word. She has all the vocal depth of her great rival ; and, if anything, a little more execution. Her singing of Frank Mori's fine song,—" Breathe, olis breathe that simple strain," . —was a most satisfactory: effort ; and establishes this lady as a first-rate singer of our English ballads. The second piece in the programme, Beethoven's trio for piano-forte, violin, and violoncello, played by Mrs. H. Beale, Herr Ernst r and Mr. Haddock, was the most satis factory performance we ever heard in Liverpool. Mrs. Beale was in her very best play ; her powers of execution are surpassed by none ; and her smooth and delicate touch and beauty of expression, in the Adagio, merit our warm commendation. Great interest had been manifested to hear the world-famous Ernst in classical music, and never was expectation more thoroughly realised. In Herr Ernst's playing there is none of the personal display we have at times had occasion to reprobate. Everything is made subservient to a clear illustration of the author's mean lug—combining every mechanical excellence with an impassioned, earnest, and deep poetic feeling peculiar to himself. Herr Ernst may justly be regarded as un equalled in this school of music. Mr. Haddock never was heard to greater advantage. His similarity in style and finish to Herr Ernst was strikingly obvious. We have always admired in Mr. Haddock that combination of taste and sound judgment, seldom found in those pos► sessing his superior practical powers. We regret that we cannot give a notice, such as it deserves of the second part of this concert. The attend ance was most critical ; and that it wrs not so numerous as it ought to have been may perhaps be accounted for by the other attractions provided for the evening. LITERARY NOTICE, opery, a Priestly Conspiracy against the Intelligence, the Marais, and the Liberties, Civil as well as Reli gious, of Man. The above is the title of a Lecture, (published yesterday,) from the pen of our talented townsman, the Rev. Verner M. White, A. 8., minister of the Presbyterian Church, Islington. Mr. White opens his subject by showing that although the Roman Catholics hold the dogma of the infallibility and unchangeable character of their church, yet when Protestants prefer any charge against her prac tices and principles, and support the charge by reference to the Bulls of Popes, or the decrees of councils, the answer invariably is, that separately ; these authorities are fallible, and therefore their edicts are not binding. This being the case, Mr. White asks where is the unity of the Church. The writer then proceeds to analyse the various doctrines and practices of the Church of Rome, which are considered unscriptural by Protestants, and proceeds to contrast the corruption of a church which acknow ledges as its head a frail mortal, with the purity of the church which admits of no head but Christ. In proof of the hostility of the Papacy to• learning, he adduces in stances, by showing that the names of some of the great est ornaments of science and literature will be found in scribed on the pages of the prohibitory indices. In a social point of view, too, he states that Popery is demo ralising by the fact of the great expenditure for police establishments required in the Popish districts of Ireland, compared with the cost for a similar purpose in the North. We extract the concluding paragraph of the pamphlet : " I have now stated my case, and I leave it in the hands of an impartial public to say if I'have proved it. My statements of the tenets of the Church of Rhine were given in the words of the church herself, and my authorities have been drawn from the same source. I have proved that the head of the system claims to be regarded as a God upon earth, having power over all nations, in all things, both temporal and spiritual. I have shown the character of the men who claim these powers. I have pointed out how, to make a basis broad enough to bear any doctrine lie chooses to teach, he restricts the Scriptures, raises tradition to an equality with them, and requires that they be received only in the sense in which the church is pleased to interpret them ; and that in all her decisions she must be regarded as infallible. I have noticed the means by which the will of the head of the church is executed—the priest hood, its numbers, orders, wealth, and celibacy, its blind and sworn attachment to its head, and the immunities by which such allegiance is purchased. I have also pointed out how this priesthood holds unlimited sway over the people, that they are regarded as holding the place of God,—as essential for the peo ple at every step of their journey through life,—their complete knowledge of them through the confessional,—their power to remit or retain their sins by their mere intention, though they speak the opposite,—and to employ the knowledge they have gained to the utmost advantage of the order, by penances, in dulgences, and so forth. Nor is their power limited to the, grave. The poor slave by death is freed from the biood-stained lash of his cruel master; and even when his body may be torn, by the scourge, and manacled by fetters, his spirit is free. Not so the slave of the priest of Rome ; in body and soul he is bound; and even when death has freed him from all other servitude, the tyrannical agent of the papacy pursues his victim into the world of spirits, and.by all the terrors which superstition can inspire, tears from the widow and the orphan their daily bread, to support what, in his soul, he must know to be a " doctrine of Devils." Therefore it is that I pronounce Popery to be a priestly conspiracy against the intelligence, the morals, and the liberties, civil as well as religious, of man. To describe its character in one word, it is PRIESTCRAFT. The pamphlet will be found to be an able condensation of the voluminous controversial works which have from time to time appeared on the subject, and thus effects two desirable objects. It is acceptable to the reader. whose avocations prevent the expense of so much time as is re quired to master the larger works, and from its-low price is procurable by the humblest thinker. COLD OVERLAIN.—An infant, six weeks- old, whose parents (Campbell) reside in Maguire-street, was found dead by its mother's side in bed on Sunday.morning.. On Saturday night, a woman named Wainwright, living in Mann-street, was found dead in bed, apparently from the effects of intoxication. _ SUPPOSED DEATH FROM STARVATION.-011 Sunday, a policeman took a child from the arms of a woman who wa s begging, in consequence of its apparently exhausted state, and carried it.to the hospital. The poor child was dead, however, when it arrived there, and in the opinion of a surgeon, the death resulted from starvation. IRISH INDUSTRIAL SOCIETY.—AII agency for the dis posal of the work executed by this society amongst the female peasantry of Ireland is now established in Liver pool. As it gives employment to. such a numerous class in that unfortunate country, it will no doubt meet great support, more particularly as the manufactures (princi pally rich laces) arc not only beautifully executed, but rich in design, and economic in cost. Mr. Nadir', of Bold street, is appointed agent. The Oratorio, entitled, " David," by Charles Edward llorsley, was performed at Exeter-hall, on Monday even ing last. It had been performed at Liverpool some months ago, and its reception in London must have re alised his most sanguine hopes. It was performed by a large and powerful orchestra and chorus ; and the solo parts were sung by Mr. Lockey, Mr. hitworth, Mr. Weiss, Miss Birch. and Miss Williams. The hall was crowded, and the approbation of the public was testified by warm and continuous applause during the whole. per formance. EXHIBITION OF 185.1.—A meeting of the local com mittee was held yesterday, at the Town-hall, at which were present Messrs. L. M. Gladstone, Pilcher, Spence, Isaac, Roskell, Sim, Hess, and Archer. The secretary read a letter from the Sharebrokers' Association, announc ing that the sum of £lOO had been subscribed by the members, towards the funds for executing the model of the docks. A vote of thanks to the members of the asso ciation was then passed. A deputation was appointed to wait on the chairmen of the various commercial associa tions, to request their aid inraising the funds still required. It was ann ouncr,it that additional space had been granted by th e Lon: Jon committee, to admit of the model bein g ra ised en a platform eighteen inches high, and t wo f ee t of viewing it at dif,ferent elevations. It was also stated, that the model - six inches wide. for the purpose would not be ready for inspection for a fortnight, aa,44 then only to contributors. O ther matt e r s of business baying been transacted, the meeting ad. jouriaed. • • THE GREAT EXHIBITION VERSUS A DISSO- LUTION OF PARLIAMENT. An impression has very generally prevailed, during the past ten days, that one of the obstacles to the formation of a Government by Lord Stanley was the refusal of her Majesty to consent to a dissolution of Parliament, as calculated to mar the success of the approaching World's Fair. Such, however is not the fact, at all events the literal fact. His lordship stated, in his speech on Friday night, that " he was authorised by her Majesty distinctly to state that no person would be justified in saving, or in holding out to belief that, if he had felt it his duty to o g fb O lhe f i istvool course oi: :rsdueilordship. n. w o tnp e hp. - 'commend a dissolution of Parliament, the consent was e i , ts.,huhriaennitdece. a zd the request was never made. But there credence u. oec` . . i, He proceeds :—" In the n P el nal next o ex, i a r refusal sa l luetrsehnaai the i ; ou .2 have bt n ehe ot s v took is so m p e l t a h c i e h ; g para graph of his lordship's " position in which we should - presence of a hostile majority, a dissu. condition of public business being unadvib:ble, as :I i s other grounds at this time, we came to the :onclustfm that we could not in such a state of things carry on .74t1s factorily the business of the country. " What, we ask, are those " other grounds" which render a dissolution at this time unavoidable ? If the public business is so urgent, and it is found that, with the present parliament, and in the existing dislocation of parties, it cannot be carried on satisfactorily by any Government that can be found — which we believe will be found to be the case, we conceive that a dissolution and an appeal to the country is the only constitutional course to pursue. It is the course which has been pursued in similar emergencies, when Statesmen have had to propound their measures to hostile majorities. It would have been competent to Lord Stanley to have laid before parliament his proposals for the settlement of the public business ; and in case of a factious or other opposition, no state of things that we can imagine ought to be considered as sufficient to prevent the appeal to the country being made at once. We cannot but still:suspect that the r xhibition, and the consequent presence of large numbers of foreigners in the country, are amongst the most weighty grounds upon which a dissolution has been regarded as objectionable. Possibly, however, one of the impressions of Lord Stanley's mind was that the reaction on the subject of Free-trade was not yet suffieiently de cided to ensure the return of a thoroughly constitutional parliament, resolved upon doing justice to the oppressed industry of the country. TO THE EDITOR 07 THE LIVERPOOL S7AIVDARD. SIR,—T beg to cull' your attention to most tyrannical proceedings on the part of the Health Committee's ser vants. A poor woman; living in a comfortable - cellar, No. 11, Woodstock-street, keeps a little shop by which she is enabled to earn an' honest livelihood without being a burden to the parish. This poor woman, after credita bly occupying this abode for many years, has been served with a notice to quit, signed' by the Town-clerk, because the cellar proves to be two or three inches short of. what the act requires. She has no bed in the cellar, having a room overhead. Can they eject the poor woman when she does not sleep in the cellar ? Another poor widow woman has been ejected from an adjoining cellar, where she was obtaining a livelihood, but has now to receive parish relief. These proceedings are made infinitely more odious from the fact of the owners being put to considerable expense, by draining the place,—which no sooner is done than the tenants are ejected. I hope, sir, you will lend your powerful aid to put an end to such persecution and tyranny, on the part of those whose duty it should be to be protectors of the bumbler classes than otherwise.—l am, &c., SYMPATHY. CURIOUS DIRECTION. The following► was the direction on a letter that passed through our Post-office last Saturday : Since rhyming on letters is now alt the fashion, And'newspapers always them copy. hope they will meet with a just retribution, If they dare put this in Their columns. To you, Mr. Postman, I would now speak; I beg you will perform your duty, Deliver this letter without a wink To either the housemaid or cookey ; And when on your usual beat, Pray stop at Prince Edwin-street, And complacently hand this note To Mr. William Fazakerley. We understand that the Rev. J. Baylee is about to provide church accommodation for the numerous Welsh residents in Birkenhead. The rev. gentleman also pur. poses opening a ragged school in connection with his church. SUDDEN DEATH OF AN INFANT.—An inquest will be held to-day on the body of an infant whose parents (Wil son) reside at Gore-place, Kirkdale. The circumstances attending the child's death render it necessary that an inquest should be held on the body. EXPOSURE OF THE BODY OF A CHILD:—Ori Sunday morning last, a box was found in the burial 'ground at tached to St. Anthony's Chapel, Scotland-road. Upon examination the box was found to contain the dead body of a child. MODEL OP ROME.—This interesting work of art will, no doubt, be visited by all classes of the public,• who will inspect the various localities of the city with unusual in terest at the present moment, when such universal atten tion is attracted to the recent proceedings of the Pope. The proprietor of the exhibition gives, twice a day an interesting description of his invaluable and accurate production. FATAL ACCIDENT AT THE WATERLOO DOCA.-011 SR turdav an emigrant from Tipperary, named Thos. Crowe, lost hiselife under the following circumstances:---The man had gone ashore for the purpose of procuring a kettle to heat some water for breakfast, on his return the vessel was moving out of the dock gates ; the man, in his anx iety I o get on board, fell from the plank he was taken out of the water as soon as possible but life.was extinct. GRATIFYING TESTIMONIAL.—Mr. Thomas Kemp, the late clerk of Christ Church, Claughton, has received a gratifying token of esteem, from the respected incumbent of that church, on the occasion of resigning his office, con sisting of a very handsome Bible, bearing< the following inscription :--` z Presented to Thomas Kemp, on his resign ing the clerkship of Christ Church, Claughton, as a mark of esteem and regard, by his faithful friend and pastor, W. F: Taylor, M. A. February 21st, ISM:P . —Mr. Kemp is about to emigrate to Australia we believe. NEW- Cul/Rm.—We perceive that a special general vestry of the inhabitants of West Derby will be held on Wednesday week, to consider the inadequacy of the pre sent parish church for the accommodation of the inhabi tants; and the liberal offers of contribution which have been made, on condition that a new church be erected on a difrerent site, according to the design of Mr. G. G. Scott, which will be submitted to the meeting. The vestry is also summoned to consider thanecessity for the immediate purchase and appropriation of a suitable piece of land for a burial-ground for the parish of West Derby. CHAMBER OF COMMERCE.—The usual monthly meet ing of the council was held yesterday, Thos. B. Horsfall, Esq-., the president, in the chair. After the routine busi ness, the report from the committee on the subject of the Sound dues was brought up and adopted. It was agreed to memorialize government towards procuring a reduction , of those dues to a rate commensurate with the benefits received by our shipping, &c., in the lighting, buoying, &c.„ of the coasts of Denmark, and to co-operate with. other chambers of commerce for this end. Among the communications were letters from Mr. William Brown, M.P., and Mr. Cardwell, M.P., ooMr. Mitchell's motion for a parliamentary inquiry into the present government of the customs, and one on a proposed shipping-office for emigrants. A present of books was announced from Mr. Win. Brown, M.P., for which a vote of thanks was passed. TEA PARTY.—On Friday evening a convivial tea-party was held in the schoolroom underneath St. Matthew 's Church, Scotland-road, at which choice speeches were made by the Rev. Dr. Hilleoat (who presided), Revs. Dr. Aspinall, D. James, G. Howarth, W. Jones, of St. Paul's, Mr. Roskell, &e., followed by music, both vocal and in strumental,—Miss Mary Brewer, a juvenile harpist, Mr. Jones, &c., very kindly giving theh valuable services. It appeared from what was said, that the Privy Council of Education very properly will not in any way recognise as schools-rooms placed underneath churches or, chapels, such as at St. Matthias's, Great Howard-street, and that wherein the, tea-party was held : how necessary, there fore, it is that active educational measures should be promptly taken to substitute suitable school premises, covered and uncovered, so as to afford sufficient scope for the real education of the rising generation in our land, both in a physical, moral, religious, and intellectual point of view. SHOCKING ACCIDENT IN ISLINGTON... , -A very shock ing accident, and one which terminated fatally, happened on Saturday, in. Islington. An elderly lady, on . that day, was in the act of crossing the roa d .about the ddle of Islington ;. at the moment, a long procession of the " turn-out" seamen was passing , and, whether the noise of the band which accompanied the body prevented the unfortunate lady from hearing, or whether . she were at tracted by the sight does not appear ; it is presumed, however, that one or both these causes rendered her un conscious- conscious of the proximity of a cart, the horse in which came suddenly upon her, and knocked her down. :Tale prothate, the animal trampled upon her side, and taus inflicted fatal injuries. She was speedily picked - al). and conveyed into the shop of Mr. Evans , dru gg ist, at the corner of Stafford-street, where a surgeon attended her, and, as soon as possible, she was conveyed to her residence in Moira-street, where she lingered until the following morning, when death ended her sufferings. interest e f s o t r t h y i STRANGER'S FRIEN.a SOCIETY.— At the annual meeting yesterday of this valuable s ociet y , Mr. Thomas Kaye took the chair, and stated that he had done . so with c a on g n r e e ct at ed il years, during a potion of which he had been treasurer, the great society, with which lio le l l i t e , .hhaodw beene er, in which office he had witnested daily the vast good done by the society during periods of distress. The society owed, perhaps, to-no other parties a debt of gratitude so g reat as to the family of Mr. Wm. Rahbone, who had regularly contributed £lOO a year. The object of the prese'at meeting was, to appoint a treasurer, officers, &c., of the society, with a view to its organisation in a manner different from that under which it had been managed during the last year or two. The secretary read the accounts for the past year, showing a b a l ance i n t h e collector's hands to the credit of the society of £6O 16s' 3d. The subscriptions during the yea r h a d been £247. Mr. Rathbone moved that Mr. Kaye be appointed treasurer, and stated that Mr. Beloe had offered to assist him in the duties. Mr. Kaye accepted the appointment under those circumstances alone. It was afterwards moved and seconded that Mr. Beloe's appointment should be that of sub-treasurer. A long li s t o f gen tlemen vas then appointed to form the committee. On the motion of Mr. Rathbone, the name of Mr. W. P. Frew, although not a subscriber, was added to the list ; and it was explained that his father had been a munificent subscriber to the society, and taken a great interest in its March 4, 1851• COMMERCIAL AND MONETARY REPORT' The Share Market b 55 been in an animated stag week, especially since Thursday;. since which day Pr ices have steadily advanced, and there has been daily a IP'6l. business.
